Chapter 323 Murderer
Sure enough, as soon as she led Yu Yao and Jin Zifu to a small, dilapidated statue at the village entrance, she couldn't help but ask Yu Yao, "Miss Yu, do you have an older or younger brother?"
Yu Yao's eyes twitched slightly.
"What do you ask for this?"
She pursed her lips and smiled slightly.
"I know a boy who looks a lot like Miss Yu... but he's disappeared. I want to know, is he your family member? Where did he go?"
Yu Yao was surprised to learn that she knew her own brother.
"I have a brother."
A look of surprise flashed across Ranqing's face.
"Really? Where is he?"
“It’s been a year and a half since he died in the line of duty,” Yu Yao said truthfully.
Ranqing's expression went blank for a moment.
"Died in the line of duty?" As she uttered these two words with difficulty, Ranqing's body went limp, and she collapsed onto the statue.
He barely managed to hold onto the statue to avoid falling.
"How...how could this be...it's all my fault..."
Yu Yao's expression remained relatively calm. "How do you know my brother?"
Ranqing stared at the statue, her face pale and dazed, her voice trembling.
“A year, a year and a half ago... I... I went to capture Ran Yi, and I almost got captured instead. He saved me.”
Yu Yao's fingertips twitched slightly.
A year and a half... isn't that the time when my brother had the accident?
Noticing that Yu Yao's emotions were fluctuating greatly, Jin Zifu quickly stared at Yu Yao with wide eyes, her eyes showing a barely perceptible worry.
"Who almost caught you?" Yu Yao asked again.
"A very young man and a masked woman. I saw them talking by chance, and I accidentally gave myself away. When I fought back, I accidentally knocked off the woman's mask. She suddenly became very angry, and then... and then..."
woman?
Yu Yao immediately contacted Qi Xian and asked Xu Guining to come over.
"Please describe the appearances of those two people in detail in a moment."
Ranqing's gaze froze, and tears suddenly fell.
"You mean... he really did it... to save me..."
"I don't know, I just want to know who wants to arrest you."
However... it's pretty close to the truth.
Lin Fengmu also said that the last message Yu Zhao sent was that his identity had been exposed because he was saving people, and he was probably unable to complete the mission.
And then, he disappeared without a trace.
......
Xu Guining quickly arrived at their side. Ran Qing tried her best to calm down and hurriedly led them to her room.
Based on Ranqing's description, a figure gradually appeared in Yu Yao's mind.
Until the final portrait was drawn, Yu Yao felt as if half of her strength had been released.
My heart ached for a moment.
In an instant, I understood many things.
The man is indeed Yuan Qingluo.
But that woman...
Xu Guining quickly came to her side, supported her back, and asked softly, "Xiao Qi, do you know this woman?"
"I...I'm going back to the Kyoto base."
Xu Guining quickly said, "We'll go back with you; you're not feeling well right now."
"I can go back by myself, don't worry about me."
Xu Guining knew that she always had a plan in mind, so she didn't insist too much, and only said, "Then go, solve the problem, and go home."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yao felt reassured. A glimmer of light returned to her eyes, captivating and enchanting.
"it is good."
......
As Yu Yao rode the Xuan Tian Fox towards the Kyoto base, she thought about many things.
Only when she stood outside the gate of Lin Fengmu's house in Kyoto did she put away all her emotions and expressions.
Meng Yue opened the door. When she saw Yu Yao, her joy and happiness were so genuine that her favorability rating was 78.
How could such a person be a spy colluding with Yuan Qingluo, the one who killed Yu Zhao and then placed a soul-sealing curse on Yuan Qingluo?
However, the relics of Lin Fengmu's maternal grandfather in his possession truly prove that their lineage is extraordinary.
She has the ability and the means!
After being ushered into the living room, Yu Yao quietly released a protective barrier and asked Meng Yue only one question.
"Aunt Meng, have you heard of Ideal City?"
Meng Yue's expression froze for a moment when she heard the name Ideal City.
"What...what did you say? What Ideal City?"
Yu Yao frankly presented the portrait that Xu Guining had drawn based on Ran Qing's description.
"I just ran into someone who escaped from Ideal City, and she said she saw you there. I just want to know, is this you?"
Meng Yue looked down at the figure in the portrait and said in a panic, "How could it be me? Don't you know Auntie? She never leaves the house, how could she go to that Ideal City? There must be someone who looks similar, right? Maybe that girl remembered the features wrong?"
Yu Yao suddenly focused her gaze.
"A girl? Did I say that person was a man or a woman?"
Meng Yue blinked, looking completely bewildered.
"No? Did I hear you wrong?"
The moment Meng Yue said this, her favorability rating towards Yu Yao plummeted from 60 to 60, and she was blacklisted.
The malice level is rising sharply.
Yu Yao's gaze grew colder and colder. "Aunt Meng... why bother pretending anymore? You clearly want to kill me, so why are you making that face?"
Meng Yue's bewildered expression slowly returned, and her gentle, watery eyes took on a strange, eerie quality.
"This is boring! We've already been discovered!"
Yu Yao looked at Meng Yue, who was completely different from before, and her expression grew increasingly grim.
She was about to say something, but her gaze paused slightly before she spoke.
After a moment of silence, he asked, "So it was you who killed my brother."
Meng Yue no longer hid and nodded frankly, "Yes, he saw my face, I can't let him leave."
Otherwise, everything will be over.
Yu Yao couldn't help but get agitated. "Why? Feng Mu is a soldier! He's risking his life for the country on the front lines, and you, as his mother, are becoming a spy?"
"Soldiers?" Meng Yue scoffed. "So what if they're soldiers? Wasn't Lin Yan a soldier? Wasn't Lin Fengming a soldier before? Didn't they work together to kill my husband? Don't you find it laughable that a family like that can become the pillars of the army?"
Although they only served in the military for a few years, gained some prestige, and then retired and returned home, this does not change the fact that they were once soldiers.
"So you deliberately returned to the Lin family?" Yu Yao asked in a deep voice.
Meng Yue crossed her legs, her smile cold and unrestrained.
"Of course! They plotted to cause my husband's car accident, so why can't I plot to cause their heir's car accident? I'm going to come back and destroy this country that has always been tolerant of the Lin family, right under their noses!"
What Lin Yu's last wish, what Shanglin family genealogy?
all fake!
Meng Yue simply wanted to get close to these key figures to steal secrets.
Because she appeared timid and harmless to others, the Lin family disliked and suppressed her, but they didn't really guard against her.
The study is a sacred place, and only Meng Yue is allowed to clean it.
Any manuscript or meeting record inside was enough for Meng Yue to extract a lot of useful information.
For many years, she had been infiltrating the Lin family, and with this convenience, she quickly made contact with Yuan Chengbei from the border region.
After Yuan Chengbei's death, it was Meng Yue who helped Yuan Qingluo consolidate his position and renamed the gang the Qingluo Gang.
The only variable is that strangely dressed woman.
That is, to be tainted by love.
She saw Meng Yue's face, which attracted Yu Zhao, and Yu Zhao also saw Meng Yue's face.
Meng Yue still remembers the look in Yu Zhao's eyes when he recognized her: shock, horror, and sadness.
At that time, Lin Yan was giving her a lot of trouble, and she didn't go to the border for almost half a year.
So they had no idea that the trustworthy newcomer Yuan Qingluo mentioned was actually Yu Zhao.
But... it's not too late!
Yu Zhao died a very tragic death; he was skinned alive and dismembered by Meng Yue, bleeding to death.
Why do you do this?
Because of Yu Zhao's eyes, those eyes that were always looking at her, filled with disgust and disappointment.
Those eyes that used to smile whenever she called her Aunt Meng.
When Yu Zhao's death was mentioned, Meng Yue's eyes curved into crescents, as if she were recalling some beautiful moment.
