Chapter 32: Make a Deal

Make a Deal

Nie Jinxuan said this to Xiao Ru. Upon hearing this, Yin Fengzhan furrowed his brows slightly, and Xiao Ru, who had been listening to her confrontation with Yin Fengzhan, was stunned.

"... What do you want to ask?"

Xiao Ru was somewhat puzzled, a look of suspicion appearing on her sinister face. At this time, Nie Jinxuan tilted her head slightly.

"Are you really a fugitive sought by the Ministry of Punishments?"

"Heh... yes! I am! So what?"

Admitting her true identity straightforwardly, Xiao Ru raised her eyebrows and revealed a look of pride.

"Then do you know Wang Fu's true identity?"

"... What do you mean?"

Furrowing her brows instantly, at this very moment, Xiao Ru also felt the subtlety in Nie Jinxuan's words. Watching Xiao Ru's reaction, Nie Jinxuan's eyes narrowed instantly.

"Anyway, I am already in your hands, so can you tell me, how exactly did Wang Fu die?"

No one expected that at this moment, Nie Jinxuan neither chose to beg for mercy nor chose to question Yin Fengzhan why he wouldn't save her, but instead asked such an inexplicable question!

But for Nie Jinxuan, pursuing the truth was her mission as a forensic pathologist. And this kind of mission had already penetrated into her bone marrow, so even at the last moment of her life, she had to get to the bottom of all the truth!

And regarding this case, although Xiao Ru had answered straightforwardly just now, she still felt something was a bit strange... For example, Xiao Ru kept saying she just wanted to frame her, so she killed someone at random! But this explanation was obviously too far-fetched! After all, in Nie Jinxuan's memory, although she had had a few unpleasant encounters with Xiao Ru's master, Qiao Yuaner, she had never had any interaction with Xiao Ru. So, the reason Xiao Ru gave was obviously not convincing enough!

Moreover, taking a step back, even if the relationship between Xiao Ru and Qiao Yuaner was already extraordinary, to the extent that Xiao Ru could really kill someone just to vent her anger for Qiao Yuaner... why would the one who died be Wang Fu?!

You must know, Wang Fu was a man from the Ministry of Punishments, and his purpose in coming to the Chen Wang Fu was to find the fugitive Xiao Ru hiding in the Wangfu. And judging by Xiao Ru's reaction just now, she obviously didn't know Wang Fu's true identity... Could it be that there really was such a coincidence in the world?!

Moreover, Xiao Ru had even confessed that she was a fugitive from the Ministry of Punishments, so why would she randomly make up some excuse about just wanting to frame her to hide her real motive for killing Wang Fu?!

This was definitely not a coincidence! But if it wasn't a coincidence, why would Xiao Ru kill Wang Fu... or could it be that Wang Fu wasn't killed by Xiao Ru at all?!

Therefore, at this very moment, Nie Jinxuan stared fixedly at Xiao Ru, not letting go of any expression on her face. Xiao Ru was not a fool either; Nie Jinxuan had asked to this point, so she naturally understood a few things in her heart. Consequently, after a brief shock, Xiao Ru smiled slightly.

That smile was extremely strange. Seeing this, Nie Jinxuan was stunned instantly, but subsequently, before she could come to her senses, she saw Xiao Ru lean close to her ear and say:

"People who are too smart, that's not a good thing! Nie Jinxuan, you are a smart person, and that Wang Fu, he should also be a smart person..."

Using a voice that only the two of them could hear, Xiao Ru whispered. After speaking, Xiao Ru lifted her head and met Nie Jinxuan's eyes.

"However, since you mentioned it, it actually reminded me of a very important thing..."

Having said this, Xiao Ru paused slightly, then turned her head and looked directly at Yin Fengzhan standing at the entrance of the front hall.

"Yin Fengzhan, why don't we make a deal?"

"Do you think you have the qualifications?"

Yin Fengzhan spoke coldly, but his deep eyes glanced secretly at Nie Jinxuan, who was still being gripped by the throat by Xiao Ru.

"Hehe... Yin Fengzhan, don't speak so absolutely! I believe you will be very interested in this matter..."

A sinister yet triumphant smile appeared on Xiao Ru's face, and then she raised her eyebrows and said loudly:

"As long as you agree to let me live, I will tell you who killed Wang Fu... Yin Fengzhan, what do you think of this deal?"
