Chapter 27: A Tacit Game
"This Yang Siwan is really able to keep her composure. She must have overslept and forgotten, right?" Yu Qingfeng felt faintly uneasy.
"You overslept and forgot about such an important thing?" Pei Wuyan disagreed. "I think your previous behavior was inappropriate, which made her suspicious. She guessed it was a trap, so she stayed put."
"I said, I performed impeccably. In Yang Siwan's eyes, I am just a silly girl who wants to be Mrs. Pei."
Yu Qingfeng carefully thought about her performance and Yang Siwan's reaction, and was still confident that the problem did not lie with her.
"Oh? How did you behave? Let me test it out by acting it again." Lian Shurong really never forgets to make fun of Yu Qingfeng.
"When has this happened, do you still have the heart to joke?" Yu Qingfeng became more and more uneasy, always feeling that something unexpected was going to happen.
While they were talking, another guard came to report: "I would like to inform you, three gentlemen, that there is nothing unusual in the county jail."
"The prisoners were not tampered with?" Yu Qingfeng would rather believe that Yang Siwan had secretly communicated with her unseen cronies.
"I witnessed the entire process from the dining room to the prisoners' hands, and there was no problem."
Yu Qingfeng knocked her forehead with her fist, "Does it mean that Yang Siwan wants to take action tomorrow? Or does she not choose poisoning, but wants to use other methods to kill people and silence them?"
Lin Ming nodded in agreement and ordered the guards: "Continue to monitor and don't miss any abnormalities. If there is anything wrong with Zhang's mother and son, I will ask you about it."
"yes!"
"Poisoning is the simplest and most evasive method," Pei Wuyan analyzed. "Other than that, there are experts who rob the prison, or simply burn all the people in the county prison to death."
Lian Shurong shook his head, "The uncertainty about the latter two is too high. It is safer to bribe the low-level officials who deliver prison meals. It would be safer to poison several prisoners at once. Even if we pursue the case afterwards, we are not sure who the target is."
"Yes, if I were Yang Siwan, I would simply be cruel and lower the dose enough to poison all the prisoners." Lin Ming said.
"It shouldn't, it shouldn't, Yang Siwan and Zhang Hanzhong don't look like smart people. Can they really see through our trap? Can they really trust each other to this extent? It shouldn't be." Yu Qingfeng muttered.
"The night is long and the dream is long. If I were Yang Siwan, I would not wait until midnight the next day." Pei Wuyan still questioned whether Yu Qingfeng had exposed his secret in front of Yang Siwan before, "Either you revealed the secret, or we were wrong from the beginning.
Yang Siwan is not the real murderer."
"The night is long and the dreams are many!" Yu Qingfeng caught Pei Wuyan's idiom again. Like "It's too late", Yu Qingfeng was particularly concerned about it, but she couldn't explain why she cared about it.
"It was wrong from the beginning? No way? Then our work was not in vain?" Lian Shurong couldn't help but complain.
"It was wrong from the beginning," Yu Qingfeng began to ponder Pei Wuyan's words again, "Yang Siwan was not the instigator."
Countless scenes flashed through Yu Qingfeng's mind like a fast forward, replaying everything that happened from arriving in Qianying County at noon yesterday until now, and everyone she met.
Since you have traveled through time in a suspense drama and followed the male protagonist to investigate the case, it is different from investigating the case by yourself in reality. There will be all kinds of irrelevant and interfering information, and you need to screen and select by yourself.
Here, various clues and suspects will line up and come to the male protagonist on their own initiative.
Of course, there is a premise, that is, Yu Qingfeng, an intrusive outsider, cannot interfere with the protagonist, that is, Pei Wuyan's decision-making arrangements, change the direction of the plot, influence the whole body, and disrupt the clues and suspects lining up to report.
Yu Qingfeng thought carefully about whether she had inadvertently interfered and changed Pei Wuyan's decision from yesterday noon to now.
It was Pei Wuyan's decision to climb Canglian Mountain at night, it was Pei Wuyan's decision to imprison Shen Moli, it was Pei Wuyan's order to arrest Zhang Hanzhong, and it was Pei Wuyan's clever plan to make the two suspects neighbors in prison.
Oops, it was Yu Qingfeng's idea to let the guards of Dali Temple pretend to be government servants to ask for bribes.
However, Pei Wuyan didn't object and immediately gave the order. Maybe the hero had the same idea?
Next, Pei Wuyan asked Yu Qingfeng to reveal the news to Yang Siwan. Yu Qingfeng believed that the task was absolutely completed.
In summary, Yu Qingfeng believed that the decision-making of the male protagonist Pei Wuyan was generally not disrupted, and she concluded that the information they had collected so far were all useful pieces of the puzzle.
According to the common routine of suspense dramas, 80% of the real criminals have already appeared, either in the open or hidden among inconspicuous little people.
Yu Qingfeng's mind was going through a storm. The characters appeared arranged into a relationship diagram, and then split into pieces, changing positions, and joining together to piece together.
Gradually, the puzzle became more and more complete, and each piece found its place. Yu Qingfeng's finger that had been poking at the air finally broke through the window paper and entered the room where the truth was displayed.
"why are you laughing?"
Pei Wuyan's displeased voice interrupted Yu Qingfeng's complacency and brought her back to reality from the illusory world in her mind.
"Did I laugh?" Yu Qingfeng quickly patted her cheeks and remained serious.
Pei Wuyan frowned and stared at Yu Qingfeng. After a moment, he looked away in annoyance and clenched his fist and hit his knee.
Yu Qingfeng noticed Pei Wuyan's little moves and was surprised that although Pei Wuyan didn't see the case as thoroughly as she did, he was quite accurate in seeing herself.
Pei Wuyan saw that he had taken the lead in understanding the truth, and was feeling frustrated that he was slightly inferior and had lost the tacit game.
Yu Qingfeng was even more proud. Pei Wuyan, Pei Wuyan, you, the male protagonist, have made various decisions in front of you, but you still have to make a wedding dress for me, the future heroine? Who told me to wake up earlier than you?
Yu Qingfeng quickly stood up and walked out.
"Miss Yu, where are you going?" Lin Ming stood up and followed.
Yu Qingfeng turned around and said: "If Yang Siwan is indeed the real culprit, and I did not reveal any flaws, plus the long night and many dreams, there is no reason for Yang Siwan to wait until the next morning to take action, then until now she is still indifferent, there is only one possibility. "
Pei Wuyan raised his eyebrows and asked in a joking tone: "She's dead?"
"That's right. To be precise, someone wanted her to die. If she's lucky, she's not completely dead yet." After Yu Qingfeng finished speaking, she walked away.
Lin Ming and Lian Shurong followed closely behind.
Pei Wuyan stood up slowly, a few steps behind, and walked out of the room. He called the guard at the door, "Follow what I told you before."
"Yes." The guard took the order.
Three grown men, including adults from Dali Temple, all became Yu Qingfeng's followers. They followed closely behind and went straight to Yang Siwan's bedroom to verify her life and death.
With the destination in sight, Pei Wuyan stopped Lin Ming and Lian Shurong.
"Let her find out for herself first. If she makes a mistake, the four of us making a big fanfare will be enough to scare the snake. Let alone Chen Shi, Yang Siwan will never do anything again."
So the three men hid behind the trees in the courtyard and watched Yu Qingfeng's every move through the gaps between the branches and leaves.
"Miss Yu, why are you here again? The young lady took the medicine and the doctor told her to have a good rest. Don't bother her again. After you left, the young lady coughed even more violently and couldn't get out of bed."
Cui Huan stretched out her arms and blocked Yu Qingfeng from the door unceremoniously.
