Chapter 268: Stop at the Right Time
Zhong Kui's cool hand rested on Qi Fei's back: "Qi Fei, forget it. What you told Xi He in the culvert is what you believe. As a person without a past, I know too well the importance of looking forward."
Qi Fei cast an unwilling look at her. Zhong Kui threw out a devastating sentence: "Feng Yongfu is already dead. Except for Xi He, you can't find any witnesses from back then. An inference that can never be verified is not the truth."
"But you know, is the version you told my dad really what Xi He told you himself?" Qi Fei asked suspiciously.
Zhong Kui sighed slightly, seemingly helpless about Qi Fei's persistence, somewhat dotingly, and she pressed the button for the top floor.
The sun on the roof was so hot that people couldn't open their eyes. The advantage was that except for the wind, no one else disturbed them.
It seems that only in this way could Zhong Kui reveal the most secret veil of the story.
"First of all, I can tell you responsibly that what Xi He recalled to Zhong Xiaoyu in Baicheng is what I told Qi Dongjun. Feng Yongfu caught up with Feng Yongshou who was looking for Xi Zi Yun. Feng Yongshou died and was buried in the garden by Feng Yongfu.
Can you hear the problem in this? He couldn't say how Feng Yongshou died, just like Qi Dongjun saw the scene in the garden back then and concluded that the murderer was Xi Zi Yun. Xi He's memory only left the two Feng brothers.
You should know by now that memory can deceive people.
The brain will hide some traumas for protection.
Xi He's trauma..." Zhong Kui didn't continue, just looked at Qi Fei, whose face was getting heavier and heavier.
Qi Fei made up his mind to face it, and his hand holding the railing became more and more forceful: "So, the truth is that my mom was there, and my dad's suspicion was right."
"Zhong Xiaoyu used hypnosis to let Xi He restore the real memory. When Feng Yongshou found Xi Zi Yun, he wanted to tell her the truth about Li Yang'er's murder. He naively thought Xi Zi Yun was as innocent as Feng Yongfu said,
And in fact, Xi Zi Yun used Feng Yongfu's love for her to instigate him to solve Li Yang'er for herself.
Feng Yongshou was completely unprepared for Xi Zi Yun's sneak attack. She stabbed the kitchen knife directly into Feng Yongshou's body, without hesitation, just like what Xi He did to her later.
It's just that she didn't know that Xi He, who should have been sleeping, had already woken up and witnessed all this on the stairs.
When Feng Yongfu arrived, Feng Yongshou had already been killed. Feng Yongfu let Xi Zi Yun leave the house and was responsible for staying behind to destroy the corpse.
This is the real scene Xi He saw, and it is also the beginning of his blackening.
At the moment of restoring memory, he understood why he wanted to kill his mother. Love and possession were only a part, and the fear in his subconscious had already made him crazy.
Many mental problems do have genetic factors, and we cannot avoid this problem.
We have no way to verify the truth of Xi Zhanghe's death long ago.
But from the situation of Xi Zi Yun handling Li Yang'er, it is hard not to suspect that Feng Yongfu back then was not instigated by Xi Zi Yun to kill Xi Zhanghe.
It seems that Xi He perfectly inherited Xi Zi Yun's talent for manipulating people's hearts.
And you are more like Qi Dongjun, a relatively smart ordinary person. Don't mind this evaluation. For me, who is also a lunatic, an ordinary person is a compliment."
Qi Fei was silent and didn't speak anymore, and didn't know where to start. For a long time, he said to Zhong Kui in a low voice: "You are right. What I told Xi He in the culvert, and what you told my dad in the ward, is the whole truth."
Zhong Kui smiled knowingly: "After all, there are enough lunatics in this world, no need to add Qi Dongjun. He can go back to continue being his President Qi, a 'lonely man' with two sons."
"Two sons? It seems you are sure Xi He is not dead."
Zhong Kui smiled brightly: "Because I am still here. If Zhong Xiaoyu's revenge wish was fulfilled, I should have disappeared. I can only say that a woman's intuition tells me and her that things will not end so simply."
Qi Fei smiled bitterly, and then mentioned it casually: "By the way, Feng Yongfu is dead, will you go back to Sanwu Town?" He couldn't hide his eager eyes while speaking.
Zhong Kui looked at him like that, with a face of satisfaction: "You can go back to Zizai Mountain with me. I think it's not just me who needs healing. It depends on whether Liu Tong approves your leave."
"This big sun on the head is really unbearable, let's go down," Qi Fei said, looking left and right.
Zhong Kui knew he needed time to digest this heavy past.
The two returned to the elevator. When the door opened, a female doctor in a white coat appeared in front of them.
The female doctor walked out of the elevator and brushed past them.
The moment the elevator door was about to close, Zhong Kui suddenly reached out and pressed the open button, then quickened her pace to catch up with the female doctor who had already walked to the edge of the roof.
"I heard that the lotus flowers in the liberation pond in front of Da Baoen Si are blooming exceptionally beautifully this year. You should go and see," she turned her head and said to the female doctor.
The female doctor looked panicked and surprised, looked up at Zhong Kui, and revealed those red and swollen eyes.
Qi Fei had also arrived. Seeing this situation, he couldn't help but step forward and block the female doctor's way: "You wouldn't be..."
The female doctor didn't speak, which was considered acquiescence.
Zhong Kui's tone was somewhat cold: "I once read a book written by a jumper survivor. This process is far more painful than imagined. In mid-air, he had already begun to regret it. Fortunately, he survived miraculously. Unfortunately, his muscles burst due to the impact, leaving him with lifelong disabilities. Although he has to spend the rest of his life with disabilities, he is still glad that he survived."
The female doctor who heard this suddenly broke out in suppressed emotions.
On the roof where there were only three people, she suddenly squatted on the ground and burst into tears.
The female doctor finally followed the two back.
Looking at the female doctor surrounded by hospital leaders and colleagues who rushed to inquire, Qi Fei asked Zhong Kui: "How did you know she was going to jump off the building?"
"No one goes to that place on the roof. Normal people should have some unexpected performance when they see us suddenly appear outside the elevator. But this doctor has no reaction at all, which means she has entered a stress state.
There won't be anything good about going to the roof in this state."
Just as he was talking, a doctor in charge walked up to them: "Thank you so much, otherwise we would lose an excellent doctor."
"Don't mind telling me what happened? It's unusual for an excellent doctor to jump off a building," Zhong Kui said.
