Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 129: A Complete Reasoning Error
After listening to Tang Zheng's story, everyone looked at each other. For a moment, the small Shijuli fell into silence again.
"Master, although this story feels very sad, I feel like I have seen it in a storybook. It's not something you made up again, is it?" Tang Xiaotang asked Tang Zheng doubtfully when she saw Ning Mo's distraught look.
She was really worried. Just when everyone was crying for what happened to Ning Mo and her sister, Tang Zheng suddenly said with a smile, "Haha, you've been fooled. Actually, I lied to you."
Tang Zheng has done this kind of thing too many times.
Tang Zheng shook his head. "Haha, you don't know that reality is often more ridiculous than fiction. Even if the plot is ridiculous, if it happens to us, you will be in agony. Things you haven't experienced don't mean they only exist in fiction. As for this story, of course I only made such inferences because I had sufficient evidence."
"Okay, then how do you know that the half-demon skeleton escaped from the construction of the secret passage in the City Lord's Mansion, and was injured, and was taken in by Ning Mo's sister, and in the end the two of them were together?" Tang Xiaotang asked.
"It's very simple. Hunting for half-demon slaves has been a semi-public secret of the human race for thousands of years. One of the biggest uses of the half-demon of the Lingli tribe is to dig secret passages and build mountain tunnels. There is no demand for tunnel construction in Feishi City. In recent years, the only place that has the need for secret passages and can afford the half-demon slaves of the Lingli tribe is the City Lord's Mansion, which began to be renovated seventeen years ago."
"As for the serious injury of the half-demon of the Lingli tribe, we can find from his bones that his ribs and tibia have signs of abnormal healing, which means that he was seriously injured before his death. As for the fact that he was treated by Ning Jing and the two of them were together later, it was because I found a long box containing silver needles and other suturing tools in the main hall."
"Ning Mo only came home for less than a day ten years ago, and something happened to him. He hardly lived in this stone house afterwards, so the box is definitely not his. Ning Jing himself lives a simple life, has no enemies, and does not need this kind of medical equipment for treating serious trauma, so it can only be purchased specifically to rescue someone. This happens to be quite consistent with the half-demon man buried in the cellar who suffered serious trauma before his death."
"Also, I specifically asked Xu Qingyan to ask the old neighbors nearby. More than a decade ago, before Ning Mo came back, Ning Jing and a tall man were indeed seen entering and leaving the stone residence together. The two seemed to be very close, but the tall man appeared very rarely, and every time he appeared, he was wrapped in a large cloak, so these old neighbors didn't know who the tall man was or what he looked like."
"All of this confirms my theory that the half-demon man was a slave, escaped from his confinement with severe injuries, was saved by Ning Jing, and that the two fell in love."
After hearing the evidence Tang Zheng listed, everyone gradually began to be convinced of Tang Zheng's reasoning.
Tang Xiaotang also understood that Tang Zheng was not joking this time, but she still had many questions in her mind and couldn't help asking: "But... Master, how did you know that when Ning Mo returned home, his sister was already pregnant with the half-demon man's flesh and blood?"
Hearing this question, Tang Zheng suddenly touched his nose: "Haha, this... I really just guessed!"
"Master, you..." Tang Xiaotang was suddenly speechless.
The most important part of this story, which pushed Ning Mo's sister to take the most crucial step, was actually guessed by Tang Zheng!
Tang Zheng saw Xiao Tang's reasoning and his trust in it plummeted. He added awkwardly, "Actually, I have evidence, but it's not sufficient..."
"Don't doubt it, Tang Zheng should be right. On the night we returned home and at dinner the next day, my sister vomited several times and her complexion was not very good. She told me at the time that she had a cold. I just told her to remember to take medicine and drink plenty of water. Now that I think about it, it should be a reaction to her morning sickness. Haha, I'm such a failure as a brother... I didn't realize that my sister was pregnant until she had been missing for ten years and it was not until others reminded me that I realized it." Ning Mo said with self-mockery on his face.
However , he soon remembered something and looked at Tang Zheng with a hint of hope on his face: "Tang Zheng, based on your reasoning, is it very likely that my sister is still alive?!"
Tang Zheng looked at Ning Mo's hopeful expression and couldn't bear to pour cold water on him: "It's possible. But, after all, ten years have passed, and she is pregnant with a half-demon child. In this situation..."
Everyone understood the subtext that Tang Zheng
Love between humans and demons is not only unacceptable to the world, but also cursed by the Creator. Not only does the survival rate of their offspring is extremely low, but even childbirth is extremely dangerous, and the chance of two lives being lost in one corpse is very high.
However, in the stone house, only Ning Mo seemed to be unaware of this common sense, and did not understand Tang Zheng's subtext. He just muttered to himself: "It's good to have a chance, it's good to have a chance!"
Seeing Ning Mo's expression, Tang Zheng sighed slightly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, this case is almost over here. Are you satisfied with the truth?"
Ning Mo was interrupted by Tang Zhengyi, and finally his expression became a little normal. He suddenly knelt down in front of Tang Zheng and said, "I am very grateful for your kindness, Tang Zheng. This mystery has troubled me for ten years and gave me nightmares for ten years. The answer you deduced, except for one point, combined with everything that happened back then, I think it should be the truth of the matter."
Hearing Ning Mo's answer, Tang Zheng nodded subconsciously and smiled reservedly: "No, no, in fact, you are just confused by the situation..."
However, he quickly reacted and asked in surprise, "Apart from this point, have you found any loopholes in my reasoning? Where is my reasoning wrong?"
Ning Mo was silent for a moment, then he said: "Well, actually... my sister's name is not Ning Jing."
Hearing Ning Mo's words, Tang Zheng was stunned: "Ah? What? Your sister's name is not Ning Jing , did your sister change her name after you returned to your hometown?"
Ning Mo shook his head: "No, she has never been called Ning Jing, not before I returned home, not after I returned home, and even less after she disappeared. I have never called her that..."
Tang Zheng looked at the others in confusion: "Did Ning Mo really say his sister's name is Ning Jing?"
Tang Xiaotang and the others were also stunned. After thinking for a long time, they suddenly shouted, "Master, it seems that Ning Mo never said that. You have always been saying that, and then I followed suit. So, why do you think that Ning Mo's sister is called Ning Jing? Is this also something you deduced?"
Tang Zheng stood there blankly, and suddenly slapped his head: "Damn it, I confused Leng Zhan's sister Jing Jing with Ning Mo's sister, but... who told you all to have sister control, so calling both Jing Jing and Jing Jing is so easy to say! So, Ning Mo, what's your sister's name?"
