Chapter 333 Why not?
Qiao Ying simply recalled the past with Qi Xi with the sentence "We met in the foggy forest and have known each other for a year", and mostly restored the original appearance of that night.
"That night, after escorting Qixi to the other side, I returned to the lake island. On my way back, I noticed mud in the grass, extending towards the earthen temple. The mud was still fresh and hadn't dried yet. So, I thought someone had gone to the earthen temple, so I helped County Magistrate Chang lead them away."
"So, you took advantage of Magistrate Chang's death."
After listening to Qiao Ying's brief story, Lin Lezhi gave this conclusion with a serious look in his eyes.
"It can't be considered exploitation. It's more like a win-win for both sides. Even if I didn't do this, County Magistrate Chang wouldn't have lived much longer. At least..." Qiao Ying glanced at Guan Ziheng beside her, then looked at Lin Lezhi again, smiling and saying, "Judging from the results, it's not bad, is it?"
Guan Ziheng was a little confused by Qiao Ying's look, and he didn't know why she suddenly looked at him.
But Lin Lezhi's gaze suddenly became deep, his brows were furrowed, and there was obvious hostility and vigilance in his eyes.
indeed.
Every step Qiao Ying took was of great help to the case. If he had not been involved, there would have been more casualties, and he himself would have died at the hands of the snake because of the yellow powder on his clothes.
For Chang Feizhang, being able to contribute his part before his death was a worthy death and a peaceful heart.
Judging from the results, it is the best.
But in the end.
While he was helping Chang Feizhang, he was also doing it for Qiao Ying who was next to him.
If he really did as Chang Feizhang said, he would hang his body in front of the earthen temple, and then let Qi Xi use Lu Xingpeng's body to fake his death in public.
It sounds feasible, but in reality it is full of loopholes.
It is only effective when Chang Feizhang plans to commit suicide, tells the truth, and all the murderers are dead.
Hong Mingxu is the biggest and most unstable variable.
Anyone who can infer the cause of death from the marks on the body can tell at a glance that Chang Feizhang was hanged after his death, and can also find out that the deceased was not Qi Xi.
If that is true.
This is what really implicated Qi Xi in this case.
Guo Yong and his group were all dead. What if Cheng Su and Hong Mingxu were also on the same side and had evil intentions? Then, Qi Xi, who was living as Qiao Ying and disappeared without a trace, would sooner or later become suspected.
Not to mention, he had to fake his death in public.
By then, it will be truly impossible to wash away the guilt.
Only if Chang Feizhang commits suicide, allowing Qi Xi to return to the island as Guan Ziheng and fake his death, and then live again as Qiao Ying, can a real way out be paved.
No one can find out whether Qi Xi is still Qiao Ying.
The suspicion was directed at Guan Ziheng and had nothing to do with Qiao Ying, so everything became simple after that.
All we need to do is find an opportunity to confirm Guan Ziheng's death.
If someone could find out, this case had no real connection with Qi Xi, it was all decided by Chang Feizhang and Wu Sanshan themselves, and Guan Ziheng was not dead.
Qi Xi is a survivor of the Huaifeng Village case.
According to the law and the circumstances, everything can be salvaged.
Even if he was exposed in front of Chang Feizhang, and Chang Feizhang had doubts about why Luo Zhifeng was holding the medicine, no matter what decision Chang Feizhang made, his death was inevitable.
The dead will not reveal secrets, just like Wu Sanshan.
Using a pill to save Qi Xi's life can somewhat alleviate Qi Xi's guilt towards Chang Feizhang, and it will not affect his ultimate goal, and he can also get away with it.
Three birds with one stone.
Why not?
It can be said that he calculated people's hearts and weighed the pros and cons to the extreme.
Regardless of whether the case is solved or not, there is still a glimmer of hope for Qi Xi.
He could have just left it alone. After all, no matter what the outcome of the case was, as long as no one else found a way to enter the mountains, it had nothing to do with him. He could just stand by and watch.
Can be biased.
Qi Xi is still alive.
Exactly.
He also hopes that Qi Xi will survive.
perhaps.
This is why Qiao Ying changed her mind, led herself here, but did not kill herself.
"You and Qi Xi haven't seen each other for many years and you still have a deep bond. Why don't you wait until you see him off before leaving? If you want to leave, a few hours won't hurt, right?"
