Chapter 161 What Xing Jiang Left Behind
Chapter 161 What Xing Jiang Left Behind
Su Xiaoxiao and Qi Lei agreed that if they wanted to know where Ji Zhi's things were hidden, they had to start from Xing Lei.
She went straight to the fried noodle shop. Xing Lei had been staying in the shop to help out and had not gone anywhere. At this time, she was playing with the fat cat.
Fat Cat seemed to like Xing Lei very much and had no resistance to her approaching him.
Seeing her coming, Li Xun ran over happily. When he heard that Su Xiaoxiao had not eaten yet, he ran into the kitchen and said that he had learned a new kind of fried rice and wanted to make it for her to try.
It was quite late now, and there were not many customers in the store, only two or three scattered around. I said hello to my mother, and there was nothing I needed Su Xiaoxiao's help with.
She was a little bored, and while waiting for Li Xun to fry the noodles, she observed Xing Lei.
Xing Lei is very beautiful. Her facial features are about 60% similar to Fei Yunqi's, but her face shape is like Ji Zhi. She is only eighteen years old now, but she already looks like a little beauty. If she matures in a few years, she will definitely be a big beauty.
At this moment, she was tearing the chicken leg meat in her hand into strips and putting them into the fat cat's mouth. The fat cat's mouth corners were turned up, and his chubby face seemed to be smiling, looking very happy.
There was no trace of sadness on Xing Lei's face at this time, which was really strange. If Ji Zhi's death was related to her, she should at least pretend to be sad.
Is it strange? Su Xiaoxiao suddenly slapped her head. How stupid! She didn't even think of such an obvious thing.
Fat Cat is not an ordinary cat, it is the incarnation of the system. If Xing Lei really killed Ji Zhi's people, Fat Cat would not be so close to her and let her hug him to sleep last night.
So, she and Qi Lei were wrong. Xing Lei might know something, but she definitely wasn't the one who killed Ji Zhi.
After figuring this out, Su Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief. Although Xing Lei's biological parents were not good people, she was raised by Xing Jiang and Ji Lan, and her adoptive parents must have a greater influence on her. Otherwise, she would not care so much about Xing Jiang, and would not have gone to ask Qi Lei specifically when she knew there were new clues about the murderer.
Su Xiaoxiao was lost in thought when Li Xun had already cooked the rice. He placed the plate in front of her like a treasure, with an expression that seemed to be asking for praise.
She looked at the plate and saw red peppers, yellow shredded eggs, white bean sprouts, and green coriander. It was colorful and pretty. She scooped a spoonful, put it in her mouth, and swallowed it in one gulp. Oh my god, it was so spicy that tears welled up in her eyes.
"What kind of fried rice is this?" Su Xiaoxiao took a tissue and wiped the corners of her eyes.
"Master, my fried rice is called Sadness and Ecstasy Rice. Does it taste good?"
Su Xiaoxiao took a few sips of water and savored it. Apart from being too spicy, the taste was quite good.
"Have you read too many martial arts novels? I've only heard of the Desolate Soul Palm, but where does the Desolate Soul Rice come from?"
"Master, you are amazing. I came up with this name because of the Desolate Palm. Hehe, Master, look, everyone who eats this meal will shed tears because of the spiciness. Isn't that what Desolate Palm looks like?"
Well, her apprentice's train of thought is similar to Xiao Yu's. You know what, these two guys have quite similar personalities.
Su Xiaoxiao finished the fried rice while crying. She thought it couldn't be wasted. Since she was her apprentice, what else could she do? She had to bear with it.
Today Xing Lei still lives in her house. After a day of getting along, she and Aunt Su have become very familiar with each other.
The house is so small and crowded, but Su Xiaoxiao didn't see any disgust on her face. She even planned to help Aunt Su remodel the kitchen. She saw a small kitchen renovation plan in a book and thought it was particularly suitable for Su Xiaoxiao's home.
Su Xiaoxiao did not spoil her fun. She waited until she finished chatting with Aunt Su, washed up and returned to her room before she knocked on her door.
The next day, Su Xiaoxiao woke up very early. She had a frank talk with Xing Lei last night. Feeling her sincerity, the little girl told her the truth.
She found the things her father left behind and knew that her father's death was related to Ji Zhi.
She really had the idea of killing Ji Zhi, but when she thought of her father, she felt that she could not bring shame to his reputation, so she hesitated. Before she could make up her mind what to do, Ji Zhi died.
But they said Ji Zhi was her biological mother. She was a little confused and didn't know who to believe.
She was not sad for Ji Zhi, she was just sad for her father. Although he was busy with work and didn't have much time to accompany her, he gave her the best care within his ability.
To her, Xing Jiang and Ji Lan are the best father and mother in the world, and she only accepts them as her parents, no one else.
No one knew how much she hated the person who killed her father, even though that person was her biological mother.
The things that Xing Jiang left behind had actually always been kept in the teddy bear he gave to Xing Lei. That was the teddy bear Xing Jiang gave her on her tenth birthday. It accompanied her to sleep every night. Xing Jiang sewed the thing into the neck of the teddy bear. It was a small USB flash drive.
She had never noticed it for so many years, and if the teddy bear hadn't been old and broken, she might not have noticed it.
She was just curious at the time and thought it was a surprise left by her father. However, she was shocked after listening to it on the computer. There were not only things recorded by her father, but also a message left by her father, telling her to live well no matter what happened.
She really wanted to kill Ji Zhi with her own hands. At that time, she didn't know that Ji Zhi was her biological mother. She hesitated only when she thought of the words her father left her.
Su Xiaoxiao held the USB flash drive in her hand. Xing Jiang had a premonition of danger at that time, so he left those words to Xing Lei. Perhaps he knew Ji Zhi's true identity at that time and discovered what they were doing, so he wanted to continue investigating.
He should have thought that it would be dangerous to be discovered by them, so he was actually on guard. However, he never expected that the danger would come from when he was on patrol.
Now that the things left by Xing Jiang have been found, the next step is to find the things left by Ji Zhi.
Because something had been discovered by Xing Jiang before, Ji Zhi would not leave the thing at home, and they had already searched the house and found nothing suspicious.
So, what did she mean when she said before she died, "The evidence is in Mao..."?
Originally Su Xiaoxiao had no idea about this, but after talking with Xing Lei yesterday and learning some of her habits, she did have an idea.
Perhaps the "Mao" she said before she died was not Mao. It was just that her mind had begun to blur, her lips were out of control, and the syllables she uttered were not what she wanted to say.
What she wanted to say was not Mao, but...
