Chapter 167 Collaboration
"If the moon is not right, then the time is wrong. Today is the eighth day of the month, yesterday was the seventh day. The moon at midnight should be in the western sky just about to set."
Fang Duobing pointed to the moon in the sky and said to Li Lianhua with an excited expression.
“Yesterday, after I saw Yu Louchun here, the midnight bell rang, and Bi Huang was dancing, but the moon was still far to the west above her head.”
"It seems the midnight bell rang early last night," Li Lianhua agreed.
“Xin Jue went to sleep at midnight and got up at 3 AM. If he is not the murderer, then the murderer could only have gone up the mountain to commit the crime between midnight and 3 AM.”
"But if the bell tolls earlier, the murderer will have more time to commit the crime."
Fang Duobing told Li Lianhua everything he had discovered.
"When Yu Louchun was murdered, the killer had already committed the crime before dawn, so why was her arm still covered in blood when it was discovered in the morning?"
Li Lianhua then raised this point of confusion.
"Well... let's figure out why the bells rang earlier first."
Fang Duobing didn't know either, so he had to look for clues elsewhere.
“The bell is coming from a distant temple. Go there and ask; there’s bound to be a clue.”
"But the people from Baichuan Academy won't arrive until tomorrow to lower the suspension bridge. So, how is Fang Xiaobao supposed to get there now?"
Li Lianhua said that she really can't get out now.
“At this moment, of course it’s A-Fei,” Fang Duobing said with a confident smile.
"I couldn't even get him to listen to me, so what do you think you have that would make him listen to you?"
Li Lianhua felt that this shouldn't be the case. What exactly did Wu You say to Di Feisheng that made him not even curious about his origins?
"If you ask me, it's because you gave him too few clues, and he felt it wasn't worth it."
"hooligan."
Fang Duobing shouted at the top of his lungs.
The next moment, a figure stood behind him. Fang Duobing turned around and was startled.
"you······"
"What do you mean, 'what are you doing'? Why are you howling like a ghost so late at night instead of sleeping?"
"I······"
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'get to the point'? If you don't want to talk, I'm going back." Di Feisheng said, turning to leave without giving Fang Duobing a chance to react.
"Wait, something's wrong." Fang Duobing quickly grabbed Di Feisheng's arm, preventing him from leaving.
"Snapped."
Di Feisheng slapped Fang Duobing's hand away and stopped, just staring at Fang Duobing.
"How about this, I'll give you one of your secrets in exchange for a favor you do me?"
"No, I'm bored."
As Di Feisheng was about to leave, Fang Duobing raised his voice, "Two, two secrets in exchange for your help once, how about it?"
Seeing that Di Feisheng remained unmoved, Fang Duobing grew somewhat impatient. "Just tell me what you want in exchange for your help!"
“Five secrets,” Di Feisheng gestured with one hand.
"Five? Why don't you just rob them?" Fang Duobing was startled.
Li Lianhua was also somewhat curious about how this had gone from exchanging one secret for three favors to now exchanging one favor for five secrets.
Did I give too little?
"Isn't that what I'm doing right now, robbing someone?"
Di Feisheng remained calm, showing no sign that his actions constituted robbery.
"You're taking advantage of the situation, Afei. That's wrong of you."
Fang Duobing taught him like a caring older brother.
Fang Duobing: That's all I know about him. I don't know if I can even make up five. He didn't say what they were, just anything related. Anyway, he doesn't remember.
