Chapter 14: Everyone Is a Suspect

Everyone Is a Suspect

In the room, the lamp was like a bean.

Yin Fengzhan sat quietly by the table, pursing his lips in silence. The dim candlelight reflected off his handsome, peerless profile, which carried a hint of charm amidst the coldness.

He was so charming, even though he radiated a sense of keeping people at a distance, he still couldn't hide his most fatal attraction. But for some reason, looking at him, Nie Jinxuan felt inexplicably angry.

Nie Jinxuan didn't have a good expression. At this moment, hearing the sound, Yin Fengzhan, who was sitting in the room, instantly raised his eyes, looked at Nie Jinxuan at the door, and then glanced at Xiao Xiu behind her as if nothing were the matter.

"Xiao Xiu, you go down first."

Seeing Yin Fengzhan's intention, Nie Jinxuan turned around and dismissed Xiao Xiu. Once Xiao Xiu left, Nie Jinxuan closed the door casually and walked toward the dressing table without a word.

But before Nie Jinxuan could sit down, she heard Yin Fengzhan, who had been silent, suddenly speak.

"Why did you go to Shuyu Xuan?"

"The secondary consort, Han, asked me to go over for a meal."

"Just you?"

"Everyone was there."

Sitting in front of the dressing table, Nie Jinxuan responded to the man's question without turning her head. But after speaking, Nie Jinxuan couldn't help but blink her eyes and then instantly turned her body around.

"What do you mean? Why are you asking that?"

Although she wasn't familiar with the man before her, Nie Jinxuan knew that Yin Fengzhan was a cold yet exceptionally deep man. He wouldn't say a word of nonsense, nor would he wait for her here for no reason. At this moment, since he had asked, there must be a problem!

Could it be for that homicide case? Or was he already suspecting that this matter originated from within the residence and was the work of one of those women in the back courtyard?

Nie Jinxuan couldn't guess Yin Fengzhan's intention. But afterward, she told him everything that had happened at Shuyu Xuan just now.

……

Nie Jinxuan described it in great detail, even describing the expressions and reactions of everyone present. After speaking, she instantly looked up at the man before her.

"Are you suspecting that this homicide case was the work of one of them?"

"But regarding this matter, I feel that things are not as simple as they appear. After all, think about it: if they wanted to frame me, they could have used other methods; they wouldn't have needed to kill an innocent person! Moreover, once a life is lost, the matter becomes a big deal. Framing me might be fine, but if it doesn't succeed, it will definitely lead to disaster!"

After expressing her thoughts, Nie Jinxuan lowered her eyes and continued.

"Therefore, simply put, if the other party was just framing me, then this plan undoubtedly has loopholes. But if it wasn't just to frame me, then what could the other party's goal be? I heard that the victim was named Wang Fu, and he was..."

Nie Jinxuan was not a talkative person. But the reason she said so much in front of Yin Fengzhan was only for one reason: Nie Jinxuan intuitively believed firmly that no matter who the person framing her was, it was definitely not this man before her!

But what Nie Jinxuan didn't expect was that before she could finish her sentence, the man before her instantly stood up from his seat and turned to leave.

"Therefore, I think... hey, you..."

First stunned, then Nie Jinxuan's anger surged again. She rushed forward in one step and blocked Yin Fengzhan, who was walking out.

"Stop, I haven't finished speaking!"

Nie Jinxuan was so angry that her face turned green. But hearing this, Yin Fengzhan only lowered his eyes and glanced at her, then instantly took a long stride and came before Nie Jinxuan.

"I don't need you to order me around!"

This time, Yin Fengzhan didn't take action like last time, but his condescending aura was even more intense! Afterward, once those words fell, Yin Fengzhan didn't wait for Nie Jinxuan to say anything and walked out again... But just as he reached the door, he stopped in his tracks.

"Moreover, although I released you, it doesn't completely prove that you are innocent! Otherwise, why could even the premier coroner of Dongling, Meng Xian, not determine the victim's time of death, while you said it so clearly? Apart from the killer, I can't think of any other reason... And you, you had better remember this!"

Speaking coldly, Yin Fengzhan glanced at Nie Jinxuan from the door and then strode away. ===== CHAPTER 15 =====
