"Why are you so sure?"
Tao Qingping couldn't figure out why.
"Look at Yang Yicheng's wrist."
Xu Ning gave Tao Qingping a reminder.
With doubts, Tao Qingping looked back at Yang Yicheng who was under control.
"That is… "
Under Yang Yicheng's cuff, Tao Qingping saw a light yellow woven wrist rope.
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and turned to look at Xu Ning.
"That yellow wrist strap, did Nie Xiaowei wear it before?"
As Nie Xiaowei's admirer, Tao Qingping would secretly look at her every time he met Nie Xiaowei in the alley, and he had seen this yellow wrist rope on Nie Xiaowei's wrist.
"That's right."
Xu Ning gave him an affirmative answer: "That wrist strap belongs to Nie Xiaowei."
The reason why Xu Ning is so sure that the original owner of the wrist rope is Nie Xiaowei is because the last time she saw Nie Xiaowei, she pulled the collar with her hand to cover the injury on her neck.
While pulling the collar, Nie Xiaowei completely exposed the wrist rope to Xu Ning's vision.
At that time, Xu Ning was already a master of inner wealth, and his observation ability was far beyond that of ordinary people. At that time, Xu Ning saw the weaving details of the wrist rope.
In comparison just now, Xu Ning found that the wrist rope on Yang Yicheng's hand, even the thread at the end of the rope, was exactly the same as Nie Xiaowei's wrist rope.
In this world, at least in Kangyun County, men rarely wear decorations, especially feminine ones.
Coupled with the special relationship between the two before, Xu Ning has reason to infer that this yellow wrist rope was given to Yang Yicheng by Nie Xiaowei, and this gift definitely contains some kind of friendship.
"The last time I saw Nie Xiaowei was half a month ago. At that time, this wrist rope was still in Nie Xiaowei's hands."
Xu Ning went on to say: "Thinking about it this way, she must have given this wrist rope to Yang Yicheng within half a month, or even... maybe from last night to tonight."
"You mean... after Nie Xiaowei killed yesterday, she knew she was in danger, but Nie Xiaowei still cared about Yang Yicheng, so she risked giving him the wrist rope as a farewell token before fleeing?"
Tao Qingping followed Xu Ning's words and said guessingly.
"It's just a hypothesis."
Xu Ning spread his hands: "However, it is a very reasonable possibility, at least both of us can think of this idea."
Tao Qingping fell silent.
"But even so, it doesn't mean that there is something wrong with Yang Yicheng. Isn't it a little bit..."
Tao Qingping also has a sense of justice in his nature.
Even though Xu Ning knew that he was not an accomplice of the Demon Sect, he still wanted to arrest him.
In Tao Qingping's view, this was not appropriate.
But soon, Tao Qingping seemed to realize something: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't question your intentions. You are the captain of Weiyi in Fengliu Lane, I'm just curious."
Tao Qingping knows that Xu Ning is tolerant most of the time, but this is not the capital that he can question his decision at will.
"I tested him with strength just now, and found that he is indeed just an ordinary person."
Xu Ning explained: "However, even so, according to the importance our black armor guards attach to the Demon Sect warriors, it is not a problem to take him down as the suspected person involved in the Demon Sect warriors."
"As for what I said about beheading him, that's a lie."
Xu Ning said: "I'm just betting that Nie Xiaowei hasn't left Kangyun County yet. If Nie Xiaowei knows that Yang Yicheng was killed as an accomplice of the Demon Sect, she will definitely come out with her heart for Yang Yicheng, and help Yang Yicheng. Translated into clearing suspicion."
"So, you are using Yang as a bait?"
Tao Qingping also wanted to understand: "But if Nie Xiaowei has already left, what should I do tomorrow, and still kill Yang Yicheng?"
"Do not."
Xu Ning shook his head, he also has his own principles: "If Nie Xiaowei doesn't show up, find a reason to take him into custody, just because he faced us just now, but concealed the relationship between Nie Xiaowei, the suspected warrior of the Demon Sect, and then interrogated him for a while. Fan, is also reasonable."
"I understand."
After listening to all of Xu Ning's ideas, Tao Qingping expressed his support.
"Then I'll go back now and post the news that Yang Yicheng was beheaded at Caishikou tomorrow as a notice and spread it. If Nie Xiaowei is still here, she must know about it."
"it is good."
Xu Ning nodded.
After finishing speaking, Tao Qingping sighed again.
He looked up at the darkening sky in the distance, shook his head helplessly, and walked out quickly.
Designing to arrest the girl he once admired, this is Tao Qingping's forced growth.
…
That night, under Tao Qingping's urging, the notices were posted on the streets and alleys of Fengliu Lane overnight.
Early the next morning, everyone knew that Yang Yicheng was involved in the Demon Sect and was going to be beheaded by the black armor guard at Caishikou.
At noon, the people in Fengliu Lane and other alleys rushed to the Caishi entrance of Fengliu Lane, and everyone wanted to join in the fun.
At this time, at Caishikou of Fengliu Lane, the city guards were already in place ahead of time.
The six black armored guards at the Black Armored Guard Station in Fengliu Lane are all present.
At this time, Tao Qingping was standing beside Xu Ning, and the other four new recruits, the Black Armored Guards, stood behind Xu Ning.
"You can bring Yang Yicheng up."
The time is almost up, Xu Ning ordered.
"understood."
The one who responded was a burly young man named Song Weiyi, who was the newcomer subordinate Qu Dayou assigned to Xu Ning at that time, and he was born in Songjiazhuang.
Song Weiyi respects Xu Ning, his boss of the same age, very much.
Although Xu Ning is tall and young, he is not arrogant. He has principles and rules in doing things, which is very convincing.
Of course, the most important thing is his recognition of Xu Ning's martial arts talent and martial arts strength.
Now that Xu Ning is eighteen years old, he is already a person with a strong sense of energy. Facing him, all newcomers have a sense of distance that cannot be matched.
Not only Xu Ning, but the other new guards in Weiyi also saw Xu Ning in the same way.
Therefore, although there are not many members in Fengliu Lane Weiyi, they can gather together into one force at critical times.
Under Song Weiyi's signal, the city guards brought Yang Yicheng to the stage.
At this moment, Yang Yicheng was the same as yesterday, with pale complexion and sloppy footsteps.
But facing so many city guards and executioners with knives, Yang Yicheng didn't panic much.
After being detained last night, Yang Yicheng did not suffer any torture, but was locked up alone overnight.
That night, Yang Yicheng recalled his life.
Frail and sickly, he suffered a lot of torture, but in his memory, there was also a good time, although this good time was finally shattered.
Yang Yicheng had already taken off the wrist strap and held it tightly in his hand.
Standing on the stage, he looked around the crowd, but he didn't see Nie Xiaowei.
"Don't come here..."
This is Yang Yicheng's last wish.
At this time, someone had already held Yang Yicheng down, and the executioner's knife was about to fall at any moment.
At this moment, Xu Ning did not stare at Yang Yicheng, but observed the situation in the crowd.
Xu Ning concluded that there is a high probability that Nie Xiaowei will appear here.
Because yesterday evening, after Xu Ning and Tao Qingping left Yang Yicheng's home, the city guards conducted a thorough search again.
This time, they found five hundred taels of silver notes.
And on the bank note, there were imperceptible blood stains.
Regarding the five hundred taels of banknote, Xu Ning did not interrogate Yang Yicheng directly, but asked Cheng Wei to verify it from his family, and finally concluded that the banknote did not belong to his family.
From this, it can be deduced that the blood-stained banknote was probably taken from her husband by Nie Xiaowei after committing the crime, and was given as a gift when she saw Yang Yicheng for the last time.
Nie Xiaowei did this because Yang Yicheng took medicine all the year round and needed money to maintain it.
"Haven't come yet..."
Seeing that there was no movement in the crowd, Xu Ning waved at the executioner.
The executioner took the order and lifted the machete.
Yang Yicheng closed his eyes, but he couldn't tell whether he felt lost or relaxed.
However, at the last moment when the blade fell, a voice came from the crowd.
"Wait!"
Nie Xiaowei, dressed in black, walked out of the crowd.
