The wind was cold and sharp, the snowflakes were dancing wildly, and the earth was completely white.
The north wind was blowing outside, and the fire was blazing inside. The three of them were sitting around the fire, warming themselves and drinking soju. It was very comfortable.
Toto raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, smacking his mouth: "Happy!"
Lu Ning's cheeks were slightly red, he lowered his head to play with the wine glass, and sighed softly: "I wonder what happened to them after we left?"
Hu Qi drank a glass of wine, winked at her, and said with a bad smile: "I guess if we make a fuss today, they will definitely have a big mess!"
Toto put down his wine glass and looked at Lu Ning: "Xiao Lu, what should we do next?"
Lu Ning held his chin with his palm, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Now we have to think about it in the long term. The whole thing started when I started to investigate the ghosts in the caravan. When I read the roster and wanted to look at the account book, Elder Yun said
We tried to stop them in every possible way. Later, a fire suddenly broke out in the accounting room. When we were going to put out the fire, we were stopped by a group of assassins who fired hidden arrows..."
Toto stared at the crackling stove and tried to recall the scene that night: "I remember that at that time, we were all hiding from bows and arrows in the dark. Ye Guming was worried that Mrs. Ye was going to check, but was attacked by a hidden dart. Fortunately, I
I pushed him in time and escaped the first dart. But he was still hit in the thigh by the second dart that followed closely."
Hu Qi also frowned and interjected: "That night, when Xiaolu and I went to check on Mrs. Ye's safety, I found that Mrs. Ye was having sex with other men, and I began to be wary of her."
Lu Ning bit her lip and asked thoughtfully: "Then who was the person in her house that night...?"
Hu Qi thought for a moment before trying to analyze: "Elder Yun was beside Ye Guming that night. If the dart belonged to Ma Sanbao, he should have been guarding in the dark to contain the people approaching the house. The people in the house
...Only Xiao Yulou. No wonder he kept silent about this matter..."
Lu Ning nodded silently and said slowly: "After this incident, Ye Guming and I were almost burned to death, and Niu Xiaoyi disappeared for no reason that night. It was later confirmed that he was killed that night and his body was abandoned in a cave.
But why did Ma Sanbao and Ma Huilan want to kill him? Is it because he verbally clashed with Ma Huilan?"
Hu Qi shook his head and expressed a different opinion: "I don't think so! I saw the situation clearly that day. Although Niu Xiaoyi was rude to Ma Huilan, it was obvious that he was very afraid of Ma Huilan, which meant that the three of them were often harassed.
Bullying. I think if Mrs. Niu hadn’t lied, then Niu Xiaoyi’s death can only be blamed. He was going to set Ma Huilan on fire!”
After hearing this, Lu Ning nodded in agreement: "Your analysis makes sense! In this case, Niu Xiaoyi's death was just an accident and had nothing to do with the whole thing."
Toto took a swig of wine and cursed angrily: "Who said there is no connection? Why did Niu Xiaoyi set fire to the deer?"
Hu Qi and Lu Ning looked at each other and fell into silence.
After thinking about it for a long time, Hu Qi said: "I think the fire in front of Xiaolu's house may not have been set by Niu Xiaoyi. Maybe it was set by Ma Sanbao to prevent Xiaolu from continuing to investigate..."
Totuo and Lu Ning looked at each other and said nothing, both seemed to be convinced by this conjecture.
Lu Ning suddenly sighed and said thoughtfully: "He tried to burn me to death but failed, so he attacked the people on the roster. The people from the pawn shop and the escort agency were killed one after another before we arrived, and the guys from Mipu attacked the caravan.
He kept silent about the matter, and Xiaoqi... suddenly left without saying goodbye..."
After saying that, she raised her eyes and looked at Hu Qi, with a look of confusion on her face.
Hu Qi lowered his eyes and seemed to struggle for a long time before whispering: "Actually... on the day you went out alone, Mrs. Ye tried every possible means to seduce me while she was applying medicine for me. I tried to persuade her several times but nothing happened.
As a result, I kicked her out of the house in anger. Later, Xiaolu came in to ask. I was embarrassed to tell such things, so I ran away from home in anger. Now that I think about it, it was really reckless. If I hadn't left without permission, I would have
It won’t be involved in the murder case..."
"I can't blame you for this." Toto patted him on the shoulder: "It's Ma Huilan who is shameless and unscrupulous! If it had been me, I would have beaten her to death with a stick!"
"Yes." Lu Ning picked up the fire stick, poked the stove, and said: "They are showing us what we are hiding, and you can't hide. It's like we are being chased and beaten without any clue. Until
That day, I accidentally asked Ye Qingfeng with a dart, and all attention focused on the iron mine. Ma Sanbao also found out that I knew about the iron mine, so he lured me to the mountain with a note in an attempt to silence me.
"
Toto suddenly interrupted and asked: "Before you left that night, you asked me to keep an eye on the people in the gang. But except for Ye Qingfeng, no one came in or left! What about Ma Sanbao?
Who sent you a note? And how did you know your whereabouts?"
Hu Qi rolled his eyes slightly and murmured: "Could it be Ye Qingfeng's trick..."
"Impossible!" Lu Ning was able to object and spoke out to support Ye Qingfeng: "Qingfeng blocked the dart for me that night and almost died! He must be unaware. If he was an accomplice, he would not have told me about the mine.
.I think Ma Huilan is the one who should be in perfect harmony with Ma Sanbao!"
Hearing what she said, Hu Qi couldn't say anything else.
After taking another sip of wine, he sighed faintly: "That night, I was so drunk by Ma Huilan's medicine that I almost couldn't control it. I didn't know that such a thrilling thing happened that night. However, Ma Huilan also
It’s really disgusting, they did anything to seduce me! Fortunately, I escaped in time, but unexpectedly I ran into Elder Yun in the courtyard, which triggered what happened next..."
Mentioning Elder Yun, Lu Ning thought of those unpleasant things and could not help but feel slightly shy in his anger: "Elder Yun, this despicable person! Seeing that Ma Huilan is defenseless in Hu Qi's room, he will definitely not let this opportunity go!
"
Toto took over the conversation and continued to ask: "Hu Qi, after you left that day, why were you regarded as a murderer? And how did you meet Xiao Yulou?"
Hu Qi was full of bitterness and had nowhere to vent. He took a few sips of wine, wiped his mouth, and said: "That day, I fainted as soon as I walked out of the door. Fortunately, Xiao Yulou passed by and rescued me. Then, I
I have been hiding in his residence. I really don’t know why Niujia died in my room..."
Lu Ning tilted her cheeks and looked at him, puzzled: "After you left that day, Sister Niu clamored to find a husband. In order to prove her innocence in front of Ye Guming, Ma Huilan took Sister Niu to search. Finally,
Everyone found Niu Jia's body in Hu Qi's room. If Niu Xiaoyi died because he wanted to set fire to Ma Huilan, and Niu Sister-in-law died because she revealed Ma Huilan's adultery. Then Niu Jia's death is...
It’s really a mystery.”
As soon as these words came out, the three people thought hard and fell into silence. For a while, no one could figure out the clue.
After sighing, Lu Ning added: "Things will become more and more out of control as they develop. Mr. Xia found out that there was something wrong with the case file, but all the prisoners refused to cooperate. Xiao Chan, who was serving Mr. Xia, suddenly hanged himself.
.Even their ally, Elder Yun, was silenced by Ma Sanbao..."
Toto took a sip of wine and cursed: "That Ma Sanbao not only killed people and silenced them, but also blatantly went to prison to take prisoners away! I thought that with Mr. Xia's stoppage, those prisoners could survive. Unexpectedly, they didn't escape in the end.
Ma Sanbao’s poisonous hand!”
"There is still a mystery that remains unsolved!" Hu Qi looked stern and interjected: "Since Elder Yun and Magistrate Cai are relatives, why did Magistrate Cai turn a blind eye to Elder Yun's death? Could it be that Ma Sanbao could give him something?
The benefits are even more important than Elder Yun, a relative? Or...prefect Cai has some leverage in Ma Sanbao's hands, so he doesn't dare to make mistakes?"
"The reason for this is still unknown." Lu Ning sighed: "However, now that Ma Sanbao has killed all the survivors in desperation, it means that we are very close to the truth!"
As soon as this matter was mentioned, Toto immediately shouted: "Damn, that Ma Sanbao is really hateful! I must kill him myself! Xiaolu, give the order quickly! I can't wait any longer!"
"Brother, don't worry!" Lu Ning pressed him on the chair and said warmly: "I think there must be a lot of evidence in the iron mine, and Ma Sanbao will not have time to move it in the future. Therefore, he will definitely ambush and guard nearby!
Why don't we just go in and explore. Firstly, we can see what their secret is. Secondly, we can also induce Ma Sanbao to come to us!"
Upon hearing this, Totuo immediately clapped his hands and applauded, but at a glance he found that Hu Qi was lost in thought.
He slapped Hu Qi on the shoulder: "What are you thinking about?"
Hu Qi coughed a few times after being photographed, frowned and said: "I'm thinking, if all the speculations are true, wouldn't Xiao Yulou be in danger at the moment? Looking at his secretive look, it's obvious that he knows that Ma Sanbao and
Ma Huilan’s secret..."
"Oops! You're right!" Lu Ning felt a chill in his heart and immediately ordered: "Why don't we divide our forces into two groups? My brother will take Xiao Qi to see Xiao Yulou, and I will go to the iron mine——"
"No!" Toto and Hu Qi interrupted her in unison.
"The iron mine is so dangerous, and Ma Sanbao can appear at any time. You must not go alone!" Toto slapped the table and said firmly: "I want to go with you!"
Hu Qi also stood up, eager to express his position: "I just went to take a look at Xiao Yulou, there is no danger! You can do it alone, let Toto go with you!"
But Lu Ning raised his hand to stop him and said in a deep voice: "Ma Sanbao is now desperate and extremely vicious. If he really attacks Boss Xiao, can you refuse to save him? But you can't even save yourself, so Toto must fight with
You go together!"
"No!" Toto and Hu Qi said in unison, refusing to give up.
Lu Ning was stunned for a moment, then sighed helplessly: "Okay, in that case, let's take action together! Let's go see Boss Xiao first. If he is safe, how about we go to the iron mine together?"
"Okay, it's settled!" Seeing Lu Ning give in, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but high-five each other and laugh heartily.
Lu Ning looked at the two people who had a tacit understanding and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, feeling warm in his heart.
