I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 285 Meticulous Planning
"I have already notified the Tang family in Nanling, but they won't arrive until the day after tomorrow at the earliest."

Xia Yunsong frowned and asked Xiao Qi, "How likely do you think it is Xia Yi?"

He had sent people to investigate Xia Yi, and they were quite surprised after the investigation.

This girl joined the Shanhaitang Children's Hall at a young age, but only stayed there for three years before leaving. After that, besides going to school, she traveled all over the country, visiting cities in the southeast, northwest, and even remote border areas, making her quite experienced.

This resulted in her repeating a grade for two years, and she didn't officially take the college entrance examination until she was twenty years old.

Her cultivation level in her youth was not particularly outstanding in the Shan Hai Tang Youth Hall. After that, she seemed to be forgotten, with no record whatsoever of her cultivation level.

Xiao Qi had also observed her closely and found that apart from the unusual jade ring on her right thumb, her cultivation level was indeed average, and even the internal energy cultivation method she practiced was average.

This is also the fundamental reason why Tang Ning and the other two were able to seriously injure her.

Therefore, after a thorough analysis, Xia Yi is not a strong suspect.

But Xiaoqi had a vague feeling that she was involved in this matter.

Is it possible that it was intentional?

All suspicion is being pointed at her, but she is also the victim, making her less likely to be the suspect?
"I'll go back and ask her."

Xia Yunsong:
He was about to ask her if she was stupid, but the girl had already disappeared.

"Where?"

After returning to the vicinity of the school, Xiao Qi resumed her normal walking pace and headed towards the school, while calling Xia Yi as she walked.

"The dormitory."

She didn't ask Xiao Qi what she wanted, but after hanging up the phone, she lowered her head and gave a strange smile.

Just then, Xu Shishi returned from getting food and placed the black chicken soup and egg fried rice that Xia Yi had ordered on her table. "Xia Yi, time to eat."

Xia Yi was sitting cross-legged on the upper bunk, staring down at the large wet patch on Xu Shishi's shirt, and narrowed her eyes, "Who did this?"

"I accidentally bumped into someone in the cafeteria and spilled the soup on myself. It's okay."

Xu Shishi forced a smile, then quickly looked down, took the clothes, and went into the bathroom to change.

Xia Yi jumped off the bed and sat steadily in her chair, then turned to look at the closed bathroom.

At that moment, the dormitory door opened, and Xiao Qi walked in from outside.

"Hey, eating?"

"One piece?"

"Is this little bit enough to even fill a tooth gap? And you're asking for a whole piece?"

As Xiao Qi spoke, she casually took out a super large lunchbox from her storage ring. Just then, Xu Shishi came out of the bathroom and felt Xiao Qi touch her wrist, and then a huge lunchbox appeared.

She froze for a moment, blinking repeatedly. When she saw that Xiao Qi was indeed holding a large lunchbox, she murmured, "Xiao Qi, you... you can do magic?"

I was so busy showing off my food that I forgot this guy was in the dorm too.

She looked completely innocent and said, "What magic trick? Are you seeing things?"

"Ok?"

Xu Shishi was stunned for a moment, then quickly looked at Xia Yi, "Xia Yi, do you see the big lunchbox in Xiao Qi's hand?"

Xia Yi glanced at Xiao Qi and said helplessly, "I saw it, didn't she keep it?"

"Yi-yi-yi?" "Yes, let's see what's in her lunchbox. If it's delicious, we can share some."

This sentence successfully diverted Xu Shishi's attention. She quickly walked over to Xiao Qi and urged her, "What delicious food did you bring today? Open it quickly."

Finally, the braised chicken legs, braised duck hearts, and braised chicken feet in her lunchbox were divided into three portions.

After finishing her meal with satisfaction, Xu Shishi's eyelids were drooping. Half asleep, she heard Xia Yi asking her, "What happened at the cafeteria just now?"

Subconsciously, Xu Shishi didn't want to answer the question, but her mouth seemed to be out of her control, and she blurted out, "It was Mu Rao and her boyfriend, and her boyfriend's friends, who spilled the soup on me."

Needless to say, not only did they spill the soup, but they also threatened her.

Mu Rao's current boyfriend is a third-year computer science student. His family seems to be quite wealthy, which can be seen from the quantity and quality of the clothes Mu Rao has been buying recently.

However, the three of them had always felt that this had nothing to do with them. They didn't know the man, so why did they care whether his family was rich or poor?

But when Xu Shishi went to the cafeteria today and bumped into them, she realized that they were actually connected.

Xiao Qi moved Xu Shishi to the bed and tidied up her lunchbox.

He then moved a chair and sat down next to Xia Yi, looking at her and saying, "We'll talk about Shishi later. First, let me ask you, what did you use to kill Tang Ning?"

Before Xia Yi could deny it, Xiao Qi continued, "You know that Dongfang Shuo comes from the Xuanmen sect. Besides studying talismans, he is also good at Bagua divination."

Upon hearing the word "divination," Xia Yi's pupils contracted, and even the expression on her face froze.

Xiao Qi didn't expect that she would actually be tricked into revealing herself.

She really did kill the three members of the Tang family.

“Meng Qi, you should be able to understand, right? This isn’t my fault. If I hadn’t killed them, I wouldn’t even be able to leave this school.”

Xiao Qi didn't care whether the Tang family members were alive or dead, but causing trouble in Qingzhou was unacceptable.

She pointed at Xia Yi, "You shouldn't have left him on that nameless mountain. If the Tang family forces Captain Xia to help them find the murderer, what do you expect our captain to do?"

"Your special departments in Qingzhou are afraid of the Tang family? Don't be ridiculous."

Upon hearing Xia Yi's words, Xiao Qi tilted her head and stared straight at her.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xia Yi awkwardly touched her nose.

"You came to Qingzhou to study, are you hoping we'll protect you? Xia Yi, who are you hiding from? Don't drag the Tang family into this, I know it has nothing to do with them."

Xia Yi pursed her lips and looked at Xiao Qi. It wasn't that she didn't want to tell, nor that she didn't believe Xiao Qi, but that no one would believe her if she told them.

"Fine, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Now let's get back to the first question: how did you kill Tang Ning and her two siblings? And why did you cut off their right hands? Who were you trying to frame?"

Hearing Xiao Qi's words, Xia Yi almost lost her composure. She asked, slightly exasperated, "Was my method so clumsy that all of you could see through it at a glance? Or are you just too clever?"

All her meticulous planning was exposed by Meng Qi in less than two hours, which was incredibly frustrating.

"Aren't you talking nonsense?"

Xiao Qi said matter-of-factly, "Is that even a question? Of course it's the second reason. Who else but someone with a brilliant mind like mine could figure that out? Even our captain wouldn't dare to boldly suspect you're the murderer."

Xia Yi:
She shouldn't have asked those two questions.

"Besides the Tang family, the cultivation circles in Nanling also include the Guo family and the Wen family. The Guo family has always been at odds with the Tang family. The third son of the Guo family is cruel and violent. He likes to cut off the right hand of his enemies."
