Chapter 252: Who is the Bad Guy

"Don't worry, this was drawn by an adult," Zhong Kui seemed to see Qi Fei's worry. "Deliberately imitating a child's brushwork, that's all. But this posture..."

Following Zhong Kui's words, Qi Fei's mind was also flashing with some inspiration. In the distant past told by Xu Tong, it seemed that something had been ignored, and this suddenly appearing picture, although sent to everyone, seemed to silently convey useful information only to him.

One little person in the picture was pushing another. Qi Fei stared at the content of the picture, suddenly grabbed her phone, rushed out of the negotiation room, chased after Xu Tong who was leaving, and showed him the content of the picture: "Old Xu, help me recall, when you saw that person pushing the other party back then, what was the movement of the hand?"

Xu Tong was confused, repeated the action when he told the story just now: "It was like this." His hands were pushing straight forward, he said.

Qi Fei looked around, suddenly pulled Jiang Tianyi out from the few people who followed him out, and let him stand in front of him.

Qi Fei reached out and did the action once, the same as Xu Tong's, his hands pushing exactly on Jiang Tianyi's chest, confirming again: "Is it like this?"

Xu Tong nodded.

Qi Fei let Wu Shanqiu stand in his position and let her push Jiang Tianyi.

Jiang Tianyi and Qi Fei were about the same height, a head taller than Wu Shanqiu. When Wu Shanqiu pushed him, her arms couldn't help but go upward, exerting force toward her own diagonal upward direction.

"Old Xu, look at which posture is closer to the pushing action of the person you saw back then?" Qi Fei asked sternly. It seemed this question was crucial.

Zhong Kui stood behind him with burning eyes, as if very gratified that he was approaching the correct solution.

Xu Tong pointed to Qi Fei without thinking: "The action you just did was right. The person I saw back then pushed forward like that, without raising his hands."

"You said that person was not tall. Compared with Qi Dongjun?" Qi Fei asked relentlessly.

"Hmm, our boxes were all about 1.5 meters high. That person was about half a head taller than the first box. I think at most it was 1.6 meters. Thinking about it this way, the height difference with President Qi should be about the same as the two of them," Xu Tong pointed to Jiang Tianyi and Wu Shanqiu and said.

Qi Fei took a deep breath. Xu Tong was just answering the question and hadn't realized the strangeness in it, but Qi Fei already knew. Since the mysterious person wearing a hat back then was only about 1.6 meters tall, if the person standing behind the box and talking to him was Qi Dongjun, the mysterious person's hands wouldn't push straight forward to push Qi Dongjun, but would have an angle of raising his hands, just like Wu Shanqiu pushing Jiang Tianyi, unless the person standing opposite the mysterious person and hiding behind the box was about the same height as this short mysterious person—which meant that the person who had a dispute with the mysterious person was not Qi Dongjun, but someone else.

This discovery made him feel mixed emotions—his father had once again washed away some suspicion in that dark past, but those dark factors were spreading toward the person he loved more—his mother, Xi Ziyun.

"Qi Fei? Qi Fei?" Someone was calling his name, as if it were an anchor thrown down in the dark vortex, letting him grasp the reality returning to the light.

When he came back to his senses, he found that the person calling him was actually Jiang Tianyi.

Just as Jiang Tianyi was about to say something else, Zhong Kui had already stood between them, facing Qi Fei, the corners of her mouth lifting: "Whether it's a fifty-fifty split or a thirty-seventy split, it's all the middleman making the price difference. Maybe the push from this mysterious person gave the person opposite an inspiration. Is there another option besides the two splits? For example, the middleman disappears. Wouldn't the profit be one hundred percent his own?"

"Absolute placement of personal interests above others, rationalizing extreme harmful behavior..." Jiang Tianyi's voice came, "This is a significant feature of antisocial personality disorder."

He seemed to be evaluating the person hiding behind the paper box back then, but his gaze was cast toward Zhong Kui, and the look was very complicated.

"However, who on earth is this middleman?" Qi Fei furrowed his brows. Rarely in a case were the suspect and the motive for murder so obvious, and the cause of death of the deceased was also clear, but the identity of this deceased could not be found. Twenty-seven years—who on earth was that corpse that disappeared in the kiln where the Feng family burned ash urns?

In the dim and damp room, the phone was thrown in front of Qi Dongjun. Before the fluorescence of the screen went out, he saw the notification that the message was sent successfully.

Xi He's voice climbed into Qi Dongjun's ears like blood-colored vines in this dark space: "You know my biggest shortcoming, which is that my memory is much better than others. Those two or three-year-old ignorant memories for others, I am very sure they existed and happened. Unlike Qi Fei, my mother in my memory is not just a housewife. When I first met you, you and my mother were a golden partner. Although I don't know what you were busy with, I haven't forgotten the happy look of you being busy. Hehe, didn't expect it, right? I remember everything, but the year I was conceived with Qi Fei, you suddenly didn't allow my mother to intervene in business matters. When you quarreled, I was right there. I haven't forgotten the look of you being speechless and flushed."

Xi He said, walking close to Qi Dongjun. That was the only place with light in this room. His gloomy but handsome face appeared in Qi Dongjun's line of sight, half-bright and half-dark.

Qi Dongjun's cheeks twitched, not knowing whether it was because of anger or something else.

Xi He seemed to enjoy seeing Qi Dongjun like this, and asked relentlessly as if he hadn't had enough: "I didn't think about it carefully at first, why you suddenly wanted my mother to withdraw from business matters. I thought it was just ordinary male chauvinism of an ordinary man.

Hehe, I really thought you, oh no, I thought you all too simply."

When Xi He said this, Qi Dongjun's face twitched even more violently, but his lips were tightly closed, still responding to Xi He's question with silence.

"Hmph, you went everywhere to proclaim my born bad seed, proclaim my illness. Only I know, you want to cover up something. You know very well why I would be like this. When you wanted my mother to withdraw from business, you had already figured out everything.

This is very interesting, Qi Dongjun..." Xi He picked up the phone on the ground and used a corner to press against the other party's chin, forcing them to look at each other, "From a biological sense, should I call you Dad? So my Dad, tell me, who is the bad guy?" ===== CHAPTER 253 =====
