Chapter 055 Master Connection
That night at Pei's house, she had met Xu Lai, but she didn't know his name. After asking around for a long time, she heard from Liu Fei that this man seemed to have had contact with Gao Wen, Xu Chengcheng and others.
Although she was not very familiar with Xu Chengcheng and Gao Wen, they were classmates after all, so she found them, hoping to make an appointment with Xu Lai through them.
Xu Chengcheng agreed, but Gao Wen was also cautious and asked Xu Chengcheng and Tian Tian not to mention the sibling relationship between Xu Lai and Chengcheng.
After all, they witnessed the scene at Pei's house that night, and they probably knew there would be some trouble.
Seeing Xu Lai's affirmation, Pei Xueqing bit her lip, stared at him and said, "That night you said my brother was possessed by an evil spirit , is that true?"
"Of course it's true, you should have seen it." Xu Lai said with a smile.
"Then why was my brother possessed? Why did you guys come after him? What happened that night?" Pei Xueqing had been holding back a lot of questions for the past few days, and now she finally had an outlet to vent.
Xu Lai said directly: "That night your brother almost killed Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu, so we chased them to the Pei family."
Gao Wen sat by the bed and wiped Xu Chengcheng's face with a wet towel. When she heard Xu talk about what happened that night, she was horrified.
She also saw the miserable appearance of Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu that night, with tattered clothes and bloodstains on their faces. She originally thought that it was an exaggeration to say that Pei Xueyi almost took their lives, but she didn't expect it to be true!
"Impossible! My brother is not familiar with them and has no grudge against them. How could he provoke them for no reason? What's more, my brother has always been weak and sickly. How could he beat them?" Pei Xueqing didn't believe it at all.
"So he was possessed by evil spirits." Xu Lai asked Gao Wen for a glass of water.
"That's impossible. My brother has been helping me prepare for the birthday party. He's fine and conscious. How could he be possessed? Being possessed is not like that?" Although Pei Xueqing is a rich lady, she is not ignorant.
"The symptoms of being possessed by evil spirits can be mild or severe, and there are many types. Your brother's situation is not surprising." Xu Lai said slowly.
Pei Xueqing was speechless because of him. Although she was smart, she was an outsider after all. When it came to such professional issues, there was no way she could beat an old hand like Xu Lai.
"Even if my brother is possessed by an evil spirit, then what kind of evil is it?" Pei Xueqing let out a breath, staring at Xu Lai and asked.
Anyway, she felt that there was something wrong with this man and the two playboys from the Gao and Sun families! His brother was quiet and didn't like to interact with people, so how could he get involved with the three of them?
"Then I don't know." Just listen to what Xu said.
"Didn't you swear that my brother was possessed by an evil spirit? How could you not know?" Pei Xueqing sneered.
Then he said, "So you'd better cooperate with us so that we can find out the reason why your brother was possessed as soon as possible."
Pei Xueqing was almost angry to death. This guy was really...cooperative...She came here to settle accounts with them, okay?
They actually wanted to get her to help them investigate her brother?
"If we don't find out the reason why he's been possessed by the evil spirit soon, your brother will be in trouble." Xu said.
"What do you mean?" Pei Xueqing asked angrily.
Xu Lai held the water cup and said, "Do you know about the murders in Zijin Garden and Yunshui Bay?"
Pei Xueqing was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know, so what?" These two incidents caused a big stir, and even if she didn't watch the news much, she had heard about them.
"It's probably your brother who did it after being possessed by evil spirits." Xu Lai said without hesitation.
Gao Wen shuddered as she heard this. As a gossip expert, she was very familiar with these two murders. Four beautiful girls died.
Could it be that Pei Xueyi is really that pervert?
Considering his aloof and cold personality, it's quite possible!
"You're talking nonsense!" Pei Xueqing said angrily.
Xu Lai was unmoved and asked, "Why else would Section 9 arrest him?"
Pei Xueqing was choked up. She later inquired about the origins of the Ninth Department and learned that it had a public background. Since that group of people came to the Pei family to arrest people, it would definitely not be without reason.
"That's impossible!" Pei Xueqing said. At this moment, she could only hold on with a heart that believed in her brother. No matter what, she didn't believe that her brother would do such a thing.
"But later I thought about it carefully, and these two murders should have little to do with your brother." Xu Lai said again.
"Really? Do you really think so?" Pei Xueqing was excited.
She had just experienced a round of despair, and now Xu Lai aroused a glimmer of hope, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"But it is also true that he attacked Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu for no reason that night and wanted to kill them. Your brother shouldn't be that of person, right?" Xu said.
"Of course! My brother is definitely not that kind of person!" Pei Xueqing agreed very much.
Xu Lai hummed, "Since your brother is not that kind of person, I think he is probably being controlled by someone using evil magic. What do you think?"
"I think it's possible too!" Pei Xueqing nodded. Now as long as she said her brother was innocent, this girl would admit anything.
"So we can work together to find out who harmed your brother." Xu Lai suggested sincerely.
"I think it's okay!" Pei Xueqing nodded heavily.
Gao Wen listened at the side and looked sideways frequently. This Brother Cheng Cheng was quite good at fooling people. He had fooled Pei Xueqing so quickly.
Pei Xueqing was not a confused person. After the excitement, her mind became clear.
She clearly came here to call for an explanation, so how did she end up on the same side with him?
"Is what you said true or false?" Pei Xueqing doubted.
"My character is guaranteed!" Xu Lai raised a thumbs up, indicating that it couldn't be more true.
Pei Xueqing was a little discouraged. She really couldn't figure out whether what this man said was sincere or just a bluff. But at this point, she had no other choice.
"Then I'll go back first. Xiao Gao, please take care of Cheng Cheng." Xu said, and then stood up and prepared to leave. After all, this was where the little girl lived, and it was not convenient for him to stay for long.
Gao Wen agreed and was about to open the door to send Xu Lai out, but was stopped by Pei Xueqing: "Wait!"
They both looked at her strangely.
"Anything else?" Xu Lai asked.
Pei Xueqing hesitated for a while and nodded: "Something happened."
"Tell me about it." Xu Lai had no choice but to sit back.
Gao Wen looked at Pei Xueqing several times, and seeing that she seemed to be hesitant to speak, she couldn't help but become curious.
Pei Xueqing didn't say anything immediately. She sat back at the desk, picked up the cup and drank a sip of water. She coughed, then looked at Xu Lai and asked, "Are you a mage ?"
"yes."
"Then... can you tell fortunes?" Pei Xueqing stared at the ground.
This time, not only Gao Wen was surprised, but even Xu Lai was quite surprised.
Didn’t this girl come here to cause trouble tonight? Why is she suddenly talking about fortune-telling?
"I'm not very good at this. At most, I can calculate the birth date or something like that." Xu was speaking the truth . He didn't know much about numerology and physiognomy. The reason why he knew a little about it was because he had an elder who was an expert in this field.
"It's enough to be able to calculate my birth date!" Pei Xueqing was happy.
Xu Lai was a little confused: "Master Qingyang has a good relationship with your family, why don't you look for him?"
If it really comes to a competition of fortune-telling and physiognomy, Xu Lai doesn't think he is much better than Wu Qingyang.
Pei Xueqing frowned and said, "I... don't want to look for him. I don't like this person very much."
"Isn't this man a good friend of your father?" Gao Wen interrupted and asked. She had also seen it at Pei's house that day. Wu Qingyang and Pei Ji went in and out together, and it was obvious that they had a special friendship.
"Oh, what friends or not, they are just using each other." Pei Xueqing sneered.
"What do you mean?" Gao Wen was surprised.
Pei Xueqing sighed and said, "Nowadays in Jiangning City, who among those who are a little bit influential doesn't have some friends who are masters? They are just friends for their own benefit."
"Is it just like doing business, partners?" Gao Wen grasped the key point.
"That's about the same." Pei Xueqing shook her head.
"Then why do they want to make friends with these masters one by one?" Gao Wen still didn't quite understand. These wealthy and powerful families, who didn't have evil disasters at home every day, why were they so keen on making friends with those masters.
