Chapter 358: It’s hard to see you again

The whole thing looks complicated, and Li Chengxi also thinks that there must be a black hand behind it.

But the information we have obtained now is too little, let alone who the black hand is, even the purpose is completely unclear.

After focusing only on the murder of the accountant of the Wen family, we have some clues now.

First of all, the deceased was a newcomer, and he found the accountant of the Wen family in the name of seeking refuge with his cousin.

In the real society, a relative who has never met or even several generations away suddenly comes to visit will definitely not be welcomed.

But Yang Yiyi's side is different, and it cannot be directly applied with real values.

After all, they are relatives. If they are driven away, the reputation of the accountant will be bad, and the neighbors will have to mutter behind his back that he does not recognize his relatives.

But we can't leave an idle person at home to eat idle meals. I heard that the deceased used to be a teacher and had some knowledge of mathematics, so I recommended the deceased to be the accountant.

Although this part was decided by the accountant, it is actually predictable. After all, if you go to a cousin who is an accountant, the jobs he can recommend are either accountant or servant.

If someone has investigated the Wen family before and found that an old accountant wanted to go home at the beginning of autumn and the mansion was short of someone, then there is a high probability that he will be recommended to be an accountant.

Simply put, Li Chengxi has doubted the identity of the deceased and feels that he is not just a victim, but more like an abandoned child who has lost his value.

Secondly, there is another very critical point.

Li Chengxi believes that the deceased knew the murderer and had chatted with him for a while before his death.

This judgment is not made by calculating as Yang Yiyi said, but by deducing from the account book.

The accountant said that there are several outrageous errors in the deceased's account book, which are not simply typos or miscalculations.

To be honest, would an accountant who got in by disguise really do something that will obviously expose himself?

And it was also said that the mistakes in the previous pages of the account book were normal, not as outrageous as the latest few pages.

So Li Chengxi made an assumption.

Is there a possibility that when the deceased was settling accounts in the room, the murderer suddenly came in. And the deceased also knew that the purpose of the murderer's coming was probably to kill him.

But this window paper was not broken at first, so the deceased chatted with the murderer while keeping accounts before his death. And used this time to leave some information in the account book.

This information must not be too blatant, otherwise the murderer will destroy the account book at a glance, but it cannot be too obscure, so that only he can understand it, which is useless.

So, what information is not suspicious and can be easily seen in the account book?

Naturally, it is to record some wrong accounts, which is the so-called death message.

So far, these are the inferences made by Li Chengxi based on the account book. To prove this inference, evidence is needed.

And the key evidence is the wrong account left in the account book.

If the message left by the deceased can be found from the wrong account, then this reasoning can be established, otherwise it is just pure speculation.

And the problem lies here.

When Yang Yiyi and Qin Yan were looking through the account book, Li Chengxi deliberately enlarged the camera and took screenshots of the account book. He took screenshots of every page they turned over.

There were five outrageous wrong accounts, but looking at these screenshots, Li Chengxi felt a headache.

Because it was just a simple record of very outrageous accounts, whether they were picked out and connected according to the ending characters, or not looking at these five errors and looking at other accounts on the same page, it seemed that there was no way to study any clues.

Li Chengxi then changed his mind. The focus was not on the account, but on the number. Would it be better?

Turning on the phone and entering the wrong account number, looking at this string of numbers, Li Chengxi still had no idea.

The only thing that can be considered a pattern is that there are no 9s and 0s in the numbers, and they are all two-digit numbers.

Without any further clues, it is useless to get only this line of five numbers.

Li Chengxi felt that he must have overlooked something. The deceased deliberately wrote down such an outrageous wrong account, and he must have thought about how to make people see it, and the clues must have been laid out.

The question is how to analyze the key clues of this number, where is this thing.

According to the nature of the puzzle games he played, such clues are usually placed in very inconspicuous places, and it is really hard to think of any suspicious places for a while.

So Li Chengxi said to Yang Yiyi:

"The situation of the Wen family has been understood almost. Let's go to Qing Mansion to see. Didn't they die a servant? The two murders seem to have some connection. Maybe there will be new clues if we go to Qing Mansion."

Yang Yiyi naturally had no objection. She didn't quite understand Li Chengxi's reasoning just now, but with Li Chengxi watching, Yang Yiyi was like taking a reassurance pill, and she was no longer worried.

It must be said that sometimes being too relaxed can also be bad.

For example, Yang Yiyi found herself lost after leaving the toilet...

The Wen Mansion had been expanded several times, instead of demolishing the old house and rebuilding it. As a result, the old and new buildings were mixed together, and with the green gardens that were squeezed in wherever possible, Yang Yiyi couldn't find her way back soon after leaving the toilet.

This was not a big problem. The Wen family was not a palace, and it was not that big. She could just ask the servants for directions if she met them on the way.

But I don't know if Yang Yiyi was unlucky. She walked for ten minutes without seeing any servants. Instead, she became more and more confused as she walked.

Standing on the corridor outside the room, Yang Yiyi wanted to jump to the roof because she could stand high and see far.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind:

"Nvxia Yang, here, I'm here."

Looking back, there was no one, but the voice kept saying "here". It wasn't until Yang Yiyi took a closer look that she noticed that there was a small hole in the window nailed with wooden boards behind her, and there was a person with eyes. He kept talking to her in the small hole.

Moving closer, Yang Yiyi could see clearly through the small hole in the window.

"Are you Wen Yun?"

"Nvxia Yang, I was grounded by my father. Please forgive me for having to see you like this."

"Just because you are with Qingliu? Speaking of which, what is your relationship?"

"..."

Wen Yun was speechless when he saw Yang Yiyi burning with gossip.

"I heard Qingliu mention that Miss Yang once saved Qingliu's life. Yun, I'm very grateful."

Qingyun behind the window lowered his head and saluted, and Yang Yiyi quickly waved her hand:

"No, it's easy. I also wanted to escape at that time. Oh, yes, what is your relationship?"

Do you have to ask this?

But it doesn't hurt to talk to an outsider like Yang Yiyi.

"Qingliu and I have known each other since we were young. We always sneaked out to play together since we were young. When we grew up, we had secret feelings for each other. However, Nuxia Yang also knew about the relationship between our two families. I once thought about running away with Qingliu, but I didn't know about it. Why did my father find out?"

Wen Yun tried his best to enlarge the window paper and handed a hosta out from it.

"I don't know if I will see you again in this life. Please give this hosta to Qingliu. Please."

This is like a token of love. Yang Yiyi took the hosta and said strangely:

"Why do you say you don't know if we will see each other again in this life? Your father can't lock you up for the rest of your life, can he?"

"Nvxia Yang doesn't know. Qingliu's father plans to betroth her to someone else. My father may want to lock me up until Qingliu gets married."

"Who is it?"

"I heard that he is the son of a high-ranking official from the capital. Once this happens, Qingliu will definitely go to the capital with her husband's family. They will live in a high-walled house. They may never see him again in this life."

This sounds very cruel...
