C196 She's Dead(2)

In the woodshed.

Jade Faced Peach Blossom struggled to get out of the woodshed. She saw a shadow pressing down on her at the door. She looked up. That person had brought her from the door to the corner of the woodshed and picked her up. Mu Haiyang did not have time. The food that was fed to her.

"What are you doing here?" Jade Faced Peach Blossom said disdainfully to that person. From the tone of her words, it seemed that she was old friends with the person who came.

The person did not say anything and quickly tapped her mute acupoint. He poured a bottle of poison into her throat. Undoing her mute acupoint, Jade Faced Peach Blossom only saw a ferocious expression as she only said one sentence, "It's actually - it's you..." Before her voice fell, she had already died. The person who came sneered and smeared the remaining poison onto the food that Mu Haiyang brought. He specially used a small needle to mix some poison and then inserted it into the food. Everything was done flawlessly. He could even think of the tiny details of the poison.

After confirming that there were no signs of life, she quietly left the woodshed. Other than Jade Faced Peach Blossom, no one knew who the person who came was. Even more so, no one knew that someone had come. All of this happened without any warning and happened very quickly. Even the fight between Kong and Jiaang Yidao in the courtyard attracted everyone's attention. No one noticed it just now.

Time passed minute by minute. Originally, they might have found some clues in the woodshed, but now, they were about to be blown away by the wind. In the time it took to make half a cup of tea, they heard someone shouting from the woodshed, "Someone, come! Someone, come!"

Jiaang Yidao was the first to react. He pulled out his hands, which he had been fighting with Lian Kong, and stopped. He ran towards the woodshed. Lian Kong also reacted and followed him in.

Mu Haiyang muttered to herself, "It's the sound of the tail. What's wrong?"

"Lu Che, quickly release me!"

Lu Che also had a bad feeling. He helped her release her acupuncture points and the two of them went into the woodshed.

It was not only Jiaang Yidao who was shocked by the scene, but everyone else. Her tail was still touching her nose to see if she was holding her breath and lying to him like Mu Haiyang. He then touched the artery on her neck.

He was sure, "She is dead!" After the announcement, he got up. Jiaang Yidao pushed him away and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about?" Obviously, he did not believe his words. He was just fine a moment ago. Why did he die just like that? No one would believe this fact.

After he finished speaking, he released Jade Faced Peach Blossom's rope. He then went to check her breath. Similarly, she did not breathe. He touched her pulse. There was no pulse. He had confirmed that there were no signs of life. Jiaang Yidao hugged her and felt cold. He had no choice but to believe that she was already dead.

Jiaang Yidao could not accept it. He shook her body and said, "Wake up, Jade Faced Peach Blossom, wake up..."

Lu Che quietly looked at Mu Haiyang. Their eyes met. Mu Haiyang also expressed that she did not know what was going on. Lian Kong also turned around to look at the two of them to express his doubts. This change of events was something that no one had expected.

In the midst of his grief, Jiaang Yidao saw the scattered food on the side. He remembered that when he had just entered the woodshed, he had seen Mu Haiyang feed her. At first, he did not notice the food on the ground, but under Jiaang Yidao's intense shaking. A trace of black blood flowed out from the corner of Jade Faced Peach Blossom's mouth.

Lightly putting Jade Faced Peach Blossom down, she picked up the food on the ground and said fiercely, "Mu Haiyang is you!"

"What?!" Mu Haiyang had an expression of confusion. Why did he say that he was pointing at her?

Jiaang Yidao asked, "Is this yours?"

"It's mine. I gave it to her to eat." Feeling that it was not convincing, Mu Haiyang continued, "I also ate this tonight. I gave her the rest."

"Okay!" She said with a strong voice, "Then you eat it now."

Only then did Mu Haiyang understand his meaning. It meant that this pastry was poisonous. He was the one who poisoned it. He wanted to kill Jade Faced Peach Blossom. But she knew that this pastry was not poisonous. She continued, "Do you believe that her death has nothing to do with me after I eat it?"

"Eat it!" Jiaang Yidao did not listen to her nonsense. He reached out and placed the pastry in front of her.

Lian Kong saw his aggressive manner and blocked in front of him. "It can't be her."

"Get lost!"

Jiaang Yidao had already lost his patience and reason. Even Kong did not expect Jiaang Yidao to have such a side to him. He had become angry. Afraid that Jiaang Yidao would really hurt Mu Haiyang like this, he blocked in front of him and grabbed his arm.

Seeing that he still did not let go, he provoked, "Since you said it was not her, why can't she eat the things she brought?"

What Jiaang Yidao said was indeed reasonable. Since he said it was not a problem, eating these things was to prove his innocence.

Behind him, he said to Lian Kong, "It's fine, I'll eat."

Lian Kong put down the hand that was holding Jiaang Yidao's arm. He turned around to look at Mu Haiyang and walked away sideways.

Mu Haiyang looked at Jiaang Yidao and said, "Mr Yidao, do you believe me after I eat?"

Jiaang Yidao did not say yes, nor did he shake his head. His hand was still holding that piece of pastry...
