Chapter 84: 84. The Mist(2/2)
"This..." Hu Sixi heard this, looked up at Li Yuan, and said, "I am telling the truth."
Kurihara put his hand into the railing, grabbed his collar with one hand, pulled him over, and pressed him tightly against the door railing. He gritted his teeth with a fierce look on his face and said, "How dare you say that again?!"
"This young master, I, what I said is indeed the truth!" Hu Sixi was pulled against the door railing by him and was a little out of breath.
"Is it really true? He gave you money and asked you to kill people?" Kurihara glared at him fiercely and asked.
"Yes..." Hu Sixi said.
Sure enough, I still said that.
"Okay! Then let me ask you! He gave you money, so you should handle things smoothly. You betrayed him, you don't deserve to die!" Kurihara put him down from the door rail, raised his hand, and gestured to
beat.
"Sixi killed someone. This is a fact. Ever since I entered this prison, I never thought I could get out alive. But, young master, please don't get your hands dirty for me." Hu Sixi said.
"Oh, you're going to support me even if you die?" Kurihara snorted.
"In short, it is Sixi who has failed Mr. Xiao. Sixi will repay him well if he works hard in the next life." Hu Sixi suddenly raised his sleeves and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Yu'er and Kurihara couldn't understand it.
"Hu Sixi," Yu'er stepped forward and said, "How much money did Mr. Xiao give you?"
"Two hundred taels." Hu Sixi said.
"Where is the silver now?" Yu'er asked.
"Fifty taels have been spent, and the remaining one hundred and fifty taels have been handed over to the master in charge." Hu Sixi said.
"Fifty taels?" Yu'er said in surprise.
Fifty taels, this is not a small amount of money.
It is enough for an ordinary family to live comfortably for several years.
How did he spend so much?
"Where did you spend all your money?" Yu'er couldn't help but ask.
"My mother is seriously ill, so all the money was used to hire doctors and get medicine," Hu Sixi said.
"What disease is your mother suffering from?" Yu'er asked again.
"I saw many doctors but couldn't give an accurate answer. Then I finally found a doctor and prescribed a medicine. It started to work and my mother's condition gradually improved. The doctor didn't even give me a name."
Hu Sixi said.
"How did you recognize Mr. Xiao?" Yu'er asked instead.
"This..." Hu Sixi lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "I met him when I was getting medicine. Because my mother was strangely ill, he asked about her."
"A bad guy." Kurihara continued.
"Who was the doctor who cured your mother?" Yu'er asked.
"He is an old doctor from the eastern suburbs, his surname is Cai. His medical fees are the most expensive. You will know if you go to the eastern suburbs and ask." Hu Sixi said.
"Do you know why Mr. Xiao wanted to kill Meng Fuman?" Yu'er said.
"He never said that." Hu Sixi shook his head.
"Even if he asked you to kill people, you still have a high position to support, so why would you want to commit suicide in broad daylight and make it known to everyone?" Kurihara intervened and asked.
"Yes, I didn't think about it carefully, it was too reckless..." Hu Sixi said suddenly.
"Has all the food you eaten turned into feces in your brain?" Kurihara looked at him in disbelief.
"I'm ashamed..." Hu Sixi said.
"Since you accepted his money and agreed to this matter, why did you instigate your mother to report him?" Yu'er stared at Hu Sixi with sharp eyes.
"No, no, I didn't!" Hu Sixi quickly defended.
"You didn't, then why did your mother take Mr. Xiao's jade pendant to the government office to complain?" Yu'er asked sharply.
"Here, I don't know where my mother got the jade pendant." Hu Sixi said.
"You still want to deny it?" Yu'er shouted.
Kurihara put his hand into the cell door, strangled Hu Sixi's neck, and said, "Why don't you tell the truth?"
Xiaomi waved his hand and said: "Kurihara! You can't kill anyone!"
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will crush your neck immediately!" Kurihara looked at Hu Sixi angrily and said.
"I, what I said is all the truth!" Hu Sixi said angrily, "Even if Mr. Xiao pleads guilty now, I still can't escape the fact of murder. It's still death, so how could I betray Mr. Xiao?"
"I don't understand this even more. You are dead on both sides, why do you still need to confess Mr. Xiao?" Kurihara said.
"Well, I think it was my mother. She didn't want me to lose my life like this. She always wanted to catch the mastermind, and maybe I could survive..." Hu Sixi said.
"So you turned out to be a witness and betrayed Young Master Xiao?" Yu'er said from the sidelines.
"I, I'm sorry Mr. Xiao..." Hu Sixi lowered his head and apologized.
"You took the money to kill someone, so it's time for you to do it. Why did you tell your mother?" Kurihara asked again.
"How could I tell my mother such a thing?" Hu Sixi said, "How did she know? I haven't been able to ask her yet."
Yu'er patted Kurihara's arm, and Kurihara released his grip on Hu Sixi.
"In that case, I'll let you go for now." Kurihara said to Hu Sixi.
Hu Sixi covered his neck with his hands and kept coughing.
After the three of them got out of the prison, Yu'er asked Kurihara: "Is what he said credible?"
"He looks like an honest person, but..." Kurihara said.
"But what?" Yu'er said.
"Even if Xiao Hengqi paid for the murder, with only an old woman's one-sided words and Hu Sixi's confession, even if he had a jade pendant, it may not be directly related to the case. As long as he insists that he is innocent, he should not be convinced.
Charge? Why on earth did he plead guilty so quickly?" Kurihara said, rubbing his chin.
"How on earth did Xiao Hengqi's jade pendant fall into her hands?" Yu'er also felt puzzled.
Seeing that it was already getting late, Kurihara said, "I've been busy all day. Let's find a place to have a good meal first, and then have a good rest."
"Okay." Yu'er said.
The three of them only found an ordinary inn this time - Maoyuan Inn and stayed there.
Although it is an ordinary inn, it is at the feet of the emperor. Everything is complete and the staff is very considerate.
After the three of them finished eating, the waiter led them into the guest room, filled them with hot water, and served them hot tea.
"Guests, please take a break. If you have any orders, the young ones will be waiting downstairs," the waiter said.
"Thank you." Yu'er said to him.
The waiter closed the door and went downstairs.
After running around for a while, Xiao Mi was already exhausted. As soon as he touched the bed, he immediately started snoring softly.
Yu'er was lying on the bed, thinking carefully about what she had heard and seen today, and thinking about what to do next.
After the third watch, Yu'er woke up Xiaomi: "We are going to another place."
Xiao Mi looked sleepy and asked: "Where are you going?"
Yu'er went to wake up Kurihara again.
"This is midnight..." Kurihara hadn't woken up yet.
"Follow me." Yu'er waved to the two of them, and went out first, leading the two of them to the government office's file storage area.
As soon as they entered the government office, a figure came out of the shadows outside the government office, looked at the place where they disappeared, and stepped out.
The half-cyan mask gave off a cool feeling under the faint starlight.
It is absolutely secluded.
