Chapter 617 - 607: The Killer
Bi Xia took off Mr. Li’s shirt, and the small cyan hole was very obvious, "I verified it, and it indeed turned out to be true."Seeing Miss Wang and Landlord Wang’s faces change drastically at the same time, Bi Xia said unhurriedly, "And the most important thing is that this hole and this," pointing to a spot, "are in the same location."
Saying this, Bi Xia picked up a white jade pendant from his belt, "I asked Miss Wang’s maid, and this jade pendant is the token of love between you and Mr. Li. You personally put it on him at the door, didn’t you?"
"So what?" Miss Wang said coldly, "I put our token of love on my husband, what’s the problem?"
"There’s no problem at all," Bi Xia smiled, "however, there is indeed an issue."
Bi Xia turned the jade pendant over, revealing a purplish mark on the back of the pendant. Then Bi Xia took out Miss Wang’s hairpin, and removed the silver needle from it.
After Xu Renfei helped put Mr. Li’s clothes back on, Bi Xia, in full view of everyone, took out the jade pendant and delicately inserted the silver needle through the middle gap of the pendant while affixing it back onto the belt, pressing it slightly so that it slotted in.
Everyone was stunned, watching Bi Xia’s actions. He then naturally withdrew the silver needle, hiding it in his palm, his movements swift and without a hint of awkwardness.
"Little maid," Bi Xia suddenly called out to Miss Wang’s maid, "when did your young lady touch the hairpin today?"
The maid thought for a moment and said, "She took it off while waiting for Mr. Li, and then put it back on when giving him the jade pendant..."
The words trailed off, and the maid looked at Miss Wang incredulously, the meaning clear in her eyes.
Upon seeing this, both Bi Xia and Xu Renfei shook their heads at the same time, "She’s really an actress!"
After the praise, Bi Xia said, "That’s right, she probably took the opportunity to insert the silver needle then."
"What makes you so certain it was me?" Miss Wang denied, "I merely adjusted the hairpin because it wasn’t properly fastened."
"Then it’s strange," Bi Xia looked at Miss Wang with a half-smile, "how did your needle get inside that hairpin?"
"The Li Family and the Wang Family were old acquaintances, but later the Li Family fell into decline, with Mr. Li losing his parents. You and Mr. Li were childhood sweethearts, but I assume Mr. Li sought you out during his downfall to express his feelings, correct?"
Seeing Miss Wang looking towards him, Bi Xia waved his hand, "Don’t look at me, Feifei said it, this is typically the plot in family drama."
Miss Wang: ...
Landlord Wang: ...
Others: ...
Alright, those words made sense.
"But you didn’t know that Mr. Li had ill intentions. His aim was to seek revenge through your father, wasn’t it? It was because of the Wang Family’s indifference that the Li Family fell." Bi Xia said slowly.
"Later, when you found out, you were undoubtedly in disbelief, but then you discovered this about Mr. Li."
Speaking, Bi Xia took out the paper Xu Renfei had found earlier, extracting two letters from it, "This one details Mr. Li’s hatred for the Wang Family, including how he used you. So, you hated Mr. Li, didn’t you?"
"The most important thing is..." Bi Xia clicked his tongue and unfolded the other letter, "You were pregnant, but Mr. Li gave you abortive medicine, making you hate him even more, right?"
At this point, Miss Wang’s face was expressionless, looking as if she agreed with whatever was being said, while Landlord Wang stepped forward, "Don’t talk nonsense. If that’s true, what about the dagger? Are you saying my daughter stabbed him?"
Xu Renfei spread his hands, "Of course not your daughter, it was you."
"You knew about your daughter’s actions, so you wanted to cover it up for her, and you also felt guilty towards the Li Family, so you planned to offer your life to repay the Li Family."
"The dagger under the pillow in the study, and the writing in your study by Ms. Li, are all evidence."
