"That's the way it is. She looked very bad when she came back from the outside, and she kept the door closed and didn't come out after she came back." Hong Yu told Wei Zhuang and Zi Nu.

"Okay, we understand, you go to rest." Zi Nu replied.After Hongyu left, she looked at Wei Zhuang, who didn't know what was going on.

"I'll go take a look." Wei Zhuang wanted to push the door into Zhi'er's room, but found that he couldn't open it, so he could only stand outside and knock on the door: "Zhi'er, let me in."

He only heard a "dang" sound inside, as if something had fallen over, and Wei Zhuang opened the door: "What's wrong with you?"

The room was not lit, and the windows were tightly shut. Wei Zhuang searched around only to find that Zhi'er was huddled in a corner, with his arms around his knees. Seeing him come in, he didn't make any unnecessary movements until Wei Zhuang lit the lamp and saw Zhi'er clearly now. Only then can he barely confirm that Zhi'er is very scared now.

Wei Zhuang walked up to Zhi'er, and wanted to help her up first, so that she wouldn't sit in this corner, but she grabbed his hand. Wei Zhuang obviously felt that Zhi'er was shaking, and he knew that Wei Zhi must be going out When something happened, he bent down and hugged Zhi'er, hugged her and sat in front of the table, comforting her patiently in the bright place: "Don't be afraid, no matter what happens, I'm here."

Zhi'er was in his arms, besides holding Wei Zhuang, he didn't know what else he could do——

Zhi'er's memory was fragmented after seeing Li Zhi, she couldn't remember what she did after seeing him, and when she realized it, she had already walked to the door of Zilanxuan with the medicine.

Seeing her like this, Wei Zhuang had nothing to do, Zi Nu sent someone to bring the medicine, Wei Zhuang had to let her drink the medicine first: "You drink the medicine first, I will accompany you here, I will wait for you to get ready Tell me what happened."

Only then was Zhi'er put down by Wei Zhuang, took the medicine and drank it in one gulp, the hot medicine flowed into her body, she seemed to be much better.Only then did Zhi'er take up a pen and wrote: "Does my brother believe in an afterlife?"

"I don't believe it." Wei Zhuang replied firmly.

Wei Zhi didn't believe it before. She continued to write: "Today... I saw Li Zhi outside."

Wei Zhuang instantly understood everything.

"Are you sure that's him?"

Zhi'er nodded.

"where is it?"

"The pharmacy on the corner."

"What happened next?"

Zhi'er shook her head, and began to write: "I don't remember."

do not remember?Wei Zhuang felt very strange about this: "Don't you even remember where he went?"

Seeing Zhi'er shaking her head, Wei Zhuang felt very helpless, Zhi'er had already suffered a great blow, her aphasia was caused by Li Zhi, so now Wei Zhuang can't force Zhi'er, since she can't remember it, she can only talk about it later .

The only thing that is certain is that no matter where Li Zhi is, he is a scourge, and he must be caught quickly, otherwise Xinzheng will only become more uneasy.

"You need to recuperate now and take a good rest. Regarding Li Zhi's matter, we will wait for you to recover before we act."

Wei Zhuang can really only do this. For Zhi'er, no one would believe such a thing as "he was killed by him in the previous life", so she has no one to say, and only Wei Zhuang can comfort her every time. The phrase "Don't be afraid, I am here."

Before the two were silent for a long time, Zhang Liang hurried over: "Brother Wei Zhuang, Miss Wei Zhi, a body was found in the suburbs of Xinzheng. Brother Han hopes that Miss Wei Zhi can help investigate."

A murder case made Zhi'er temporarily put aside Li Zhi's affairs, and she was ready to devote herself to her work, so she took bamboo slips, wooden boards and pens and prepared to go with Zhang Liang.Wei Zhuang was worried about Zhi'er's current situation, so he went together.

The three of them came to the place where the body was found on the outskirts of the city. Han Fei had already led people to investigate the scene. The body was laid flat on the ground and covered with a white cloth. Zhi'er walked straight over and lifted the white cloth. The moment he saw the body, he felt a chill hit his head. , Wei Zhuang was behind her, and when he saw the corpse, he probably thought that Zhi'er must be in a complicated mood at the moment.

Wei Zhuang looked at Zhi'er's back, saw that her arms were stiff and she was holding the white cloth in her hand, and wanted to call her aside and persuade her that if she wanted to refuse this matter today, she should refuse it openly, no one would blame her.

The corpse under the white cloth was indeed Li Zhi. Zhi'er could tell at a glance that his face was blue, his lips were purple, and there was an obvious strangle mark on his neck. The cause of death was probably mechanical asphyxiation, but other things...she hasn't checked yet, can't Determine whether Li Zhi died by suicide or homicide.

But a person like Li Zhi should cherish his life more than anyone else.

Zhi'er raised her head, and subconsciously wanted to find the place where Li Zhi was hanged, but suddenly she realized something that made her feel scared: Why was she so sure that Li Zhi was hanged?

Suddenly, a series of images appeared in Zhi'er's mind like a movie: she said that she wanted to make a deal with Li Zhi, it was she who took Li Zhi to the outskirts of the city, it was she who knocked Li Zhi unconscious, carried him to a tree, and tied up the medicine shop The hemp rope of the medicine was tied around Li Zhi's neck, and finally pushed him down from the tree...

"kill him."

what?

Where is this sound coming from?Is it in your heart?Zhi'er was very dizzy, and the things in front of her eyes seemed not so clear. She remembered that the last words she heard before losing consciousness were Wei Zhuang calling her——

"Branch!"

Zhi'er fainted suddenly, both Han Fei and Zhang Liang were terrified, and immediately called the horses, Wei Zhuang hurried back to Zilanxuan with Zhi'er in his arms.

Han Fei knew that Zhi'er had caught the wind and cold a few days ago, so he was naturally worried at the moment. He checked the scene and found nothing abnormal, and the corpse was completely consistent with the characteristics of hanging himself. Since there is no doubt, Han Fei plans to leave case closed.

Then Han Fei and Zhang Liang came to Zilanxuan to inquire about Zhi'er's situation. Wei Zhuang was taking care of Zhi'er at the moment, and Zi Nu was busy taking care of everything: "Miss Zi Nu, is Zhi'er in good health?"

"Zhi'er's wind and cold have not healed, and this unexpected situation happened today, and he is fine now, please rest assured, young master."

"Is Zhi'er awake now? Can we go in and see her?" Han Fei asked. At this moment, Wei Zhuang came out of Zhi'er's room and said to the three of them, "I have something to tell you."

The four entered Wei Zhuang's room. Wei Zhuang stood in front of the sword stand and told them the past, including why Zhi'er suffered from aphasia.Not only Han Fei, but even Zi Nu heard him mention this for the first time.Han Fei frowned: "Although brother Wei Zhuang tried his best to help Zhi'er let go of the past, Zhi'er has been unable to get rid of Li Zhi's shadow for many years. If he suddenly sees him now, it is hard to guarantee that he will not be on the verge of collapse. All your efforts are in vain.”

"So I want you to promise me that you will not mention this matter in front of Zhi'er in the future, and don't let Zhi'er investigate Li Zhi's case in depth."

Those present naturally agreed.Wei Zhuang didn't tell them that Zhi'er met Li Zhi today, but said: "Li Zhi is a trapper. His coming to Xinzheng means that trap is also here. The city of Xinzheng will be even more chaotic."

Han Fei was even more acutely aware that Li Kai's matter was not over yet, and he was afraid that something would change in the future. Just in case, he decided to immediately start arranging Zhi'er to enter the palace.At this moment, in front of Wei Zhuang and Zi Nu, he also brought this matter up to them by the way.

"Brother Wei Zhuang, Miss Zi Nu, I know it's not the right time to talk about this matter, but now it seems that the investigation of the Chao Banshee can't be delayed at all."

Only then did Wei Zhuang walk to the table, poured himself a glass of water, picked up the teacup and drank it down before saying, "You make arrangements, I will tell Zhi'er when she wakes up."

"Wei Zhuang!" Zi Nu lost her composure.Wei Zhuang said calmly: "We have said long ago that this matter is led by Zhi'er."

Han Fei and Zhang Liang left Zilanxuan knowingly, and Zinu also walked away in anger, leaving Wei Zhuang alone. He sighed heavily, held his forehead wearily, and frowned.In Zhi'er's room just now, he saw Zhi'er's eyes open slightly, thinking she was awake, but Zhi'er's lips parted slightly, and he murmured, "Seven years after you died, I killed the The person who killed you...so say goodbye to the past, it can really start again...you still have a long life...trust Wei Zhuang...as long as he is around, everything will be fine..."

Wei Zhuang hadn't heard Zhi'er speak for a long time, and Wei Zhuang was shocked by her whisper at this moment, and when he regained his composure and called Zhi'er softly, Zhi'er had already passed out again.Wei Zhuang recalled Zhi'er's aphasia again. From the very beginning, her illness was heart disease, not because her throat was damaged. Now that Zhi'er can make such a small sound when she is unconscious, it may indicate that she is in some situations. Xia can temporarily get rid of the burden in her heart. Her illness is not incurable.

Wei Zhuang can be sure that Zhi'er is not awake at the moment, and he can hear that these words are not addressed to him, but from Wei Zhuang's perspective at this time, no matter how he understands these words, it doesn't make sense. What Zhi'er said " Who exactly are you?Is the person killed by Zhi'er really Li Zhi?What about the so-called "people who killed you seven years ago"?

As long as he is there, everything will be fine... Zhi'er has always trusted Wei Zhuang so much, this is indeed what she can say.

Regarding Li Zhi's death, Wei Zhuang naturally felt nothing in his heart, and even deeply felt that this person's death deserved a lot of guilt, not to mention Zhi'er, how many people in that village died because of him many years ago, Li Zhi should have paid for his life long ago.

So Wei Zhuang was not going to tell anyone that Zhi'er might have something to do with Li Zhi's death, since he was the one caught in the net, let's push it to those who are in the dark.

As for agreeing to Han Fei's investigation of the Banshee, Zhi'er was full of hope to start over, so it might as well be a new starting point.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhuang couldn't help sighing: In the end, Zhi'er was allowed to walk the same path as himself, even though he never thought of doing such a thing.

Zhi'er also woke up after dawn, and her body was fine. Wei Zhuang tried several times and found that she couldn't speak at the moment, and she didn't seem to remember what she said last night.

Han Fei hurried to Zilanxuan, and after seeing Zi Nu, Zi Nu took her to Zhi'er's room: "I still hope that the young master will see Zhi'er's state before deciding on this matter."

When they walked to the door of Wei Zhi's room, they suddenly heard the sound of a qin coming from inside, and they both stopped. At this moment, Wei Zhuang was listening to her playing the qin in the room, and no one noticed anyone outside.

Listening to the tunes, these are two different pieces of music. Both pieces of music give people a sense of grandeur.

After the song, it wasn't until Wei Zhi started to cough that Han Fei's thoughts were brought back.

"Just now... Zhi'er was playing the piano?" Han Fei couldn't believe it.

Han Fei hurriedly opened the door and went in. He saw Wei Zhi was drinking medicine, his face was pale and haggard.Wei Zhuang looked up at the two of them and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhi'er was the first to agree after knowing Han Fei's reason for coming. She needed something to divert her attention from thinking about being a murderer.Wei Zhuang obviously saw through this point, so he kept silent.

Han Fei couldn't bear to see her haggard.Just when he was about to discuss this matter in the long run, Wei Zhuang asked him, "How long?"

Han Fei was stunned for a moment, and said, "At the earliest three days, Zhi'er can enter the palace in three days if there are no accidents."

Zhi'er was the first to show them the bamboo slips: "Enough!"

Seeing this, Wei Zhuang got up and went out without saying a word.

"Brother Wei Zhuang!" Han Fei hurried out, and no one seemed to care about Zhi'er's thoughts.

Wei Zhuang stood in the corridor, leaning on the handrail: "I said, I won't force her. If she misses this matter, what's the point of her being so smart?"

"Don't you think it's unfair?" Zi Nu disagreed with this from the very beginning, and now seeing that they were going to let Zhi'er into the palace with injuries, she finally couldn't help asking him, "She could have been so different. , she is also a child!"

From this sentence, Han Fei vaguely noticed something.

"She didn't have a choice in the past, and it's the same now." Wei Zhuang said this because Zhier's situation became more embarrassing as she grew up. If she was really worthless, it would be meaningless to stay here, and it would be useless for him to pet her no matter how much she did.Wei Zhuang himself—he hopes that Zhi'er can live according to his own plans and dreams, and he has no choice but to fulfill her.

"You," Zi Nu was at a loss for words for a moment, but she didn't know how to stop him. She really didn't want to point out that the broken branch was a child picked up by Wei Zhuang in front of Han Fei.

Wei Zhuang reminded Han Fei that he should talk to Zhi'er directly.After speaking, he opened the door of Zhi'er's room and let Han Fei in.

"Zi Nu and I have something to say."

When Wei Zhuang closed the door, Zi Nu finally broke out: "She treats you like her own brother."

"I know."

"When you picked her up and decided to adopt her, you had to be prepared to be responsible for this life, but now you are sending her to the tiger's mouth forcibly!"

"You think, without me, she can be an ordinary child, she doesn't need my approval, she doesn't need to please me, she doesn't need to be different; on the contrary, everything about her now is because of me, even if I seem to be I don’t force her, but as long as she follows me, she never has a choice.” Wei Zhuang put it bluntly, “Now I let her go to the palace to get close to the night, and to get close to the tide banshee is to use her life for her own benefit, as if I adopted her in the first place. Just waiting for this day.”

Zi Nu knew that Wei Zhuang had never been such a nasty person: "But if you let her take such risks, her biological parents would not be at ease knowing that."

"If that kind of person is worried about her, why would he abandon her in the first place?"

Wei Zhuang hates people who say "for your own good" and "people who come here" the most in his life. It is right or wrong, just explain the truth. Someone blurted out "for your own good" but they are just giving money to their own behavior. They generally don't care about the other party Really need something; the so-called "experienced people" just think that they are doing well, but they don't know that in the eyes of others, they have tragedy written all over their faces, but they just want to cover up their dissatisfaction with preaching to others, and whitewash themselves well enough .He has never said these two sentences in front of Zhi'er, and he will never use such words to educate her in the future; he knows that Wei Zhi knows right and wrong better than anyone else, and is almost not impulsive. There are reasons behind everything she does. Thoughtful, there are one, two or three reasons that can impress Wei Zhuang, and her only ideal is to live a free and easy life, Wei Zhuang can help her, help her become the person she wants to be, so Wei Zhuang will respect what she wants to do She, support her, after all, the only person in this world who treats her like her own sister is Wei Zhuang.

"Zhi'er said to me that day: After death, I know everything is empty, but I don't see Kyushu Tong in grief. I knew this and I couldn't stop her." Wei Zhuang said.

The sound of the piano is the state of mind, and Zi Nu thinks that today's song is also what she thinks in her heart.However, just as Wei Zhuang didn't know that those two lines of poems were not originally written by Wei Zhi, Zi Nu didn't know that Wei Zhi never composed his own songs.
