Chapter 39 Miss Sun's Thoughts

Seeing this, Sun Chuwei couldn't help but get furious: "Waste, what are you doing? Sun Qianqian is really blind to fancy a useless thing like you! Hurry up and move the stone away!"

Lin Fei didn't dare to talk back, so he could only pass the torch and try his best to move the huge rock. Finally, the rock was moved away little by little, revealing the wellhead. At this moment, a corpse actually floated up from the water.

When Sun Chuwei saw this strange scene, she couldn't help laughing out loud. The laughter echoed in the empty and dilapidated temple, making people shudder.

Lin Fei was still in shock, and saw Sun Chuwei's chest trembling slightly with laughter, and her slender and white neck looked seductive under the light of the torch. He quickly retracted his gaze, secretly warning himself in his heart that this was not the time to appreciate her.

"Ha, that so-called charlatan is nothing but a swindler who travels around the world. He may be able to fool you believers, but he wants to fool me? Dream on!" Lin Fei sneered, trying to hide his panic.

"She's gone. Should we retreat?" He looked at the cold corpse in the house with trepidation.

Lin Fei's heart seemed to be gripped by something. The scene of him killing Sun Qianqian yesterday was like a nightmare that could not be shaken off. She refused to believe until her death that the man she loved so much had become the executioner who took her life.

Sun Qianqian's eyes were wide open, and until the last moment of her life, her clear eyes were still full of confusion and despair, and the tears sliding down the corners of her eyes seemed to accuse her of this cruel betrayal.

Whenever he thought of this, Lin Fei felt heartbroken and miserable. But now, he had no way out and he needed someone to bear all this for him.

"We can't let her stay here!" Sun Chuwei suggested, her tone firm, "Move her away and bury her somewhere else."

"Ah? Transfer?" Lin Fei's heart tightened, and fear made him cowardly.

Sun Chuwei raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a hint of sneer, "You useless thing, a dead person scared you like this? Don't forget, you did it yourself!"

She moved closer to Lin Fei, her red lips parted slightly, and she threatened with temptation, "If her body is found, do you think you can get away?"

Lin Fei was hesitant. All this was caused by him. Sun Chuwei's unintentional eyes, slightly upturned lips, or the inadvertently exposed neck and looming chest, all made him unable to extricate himself.

He knew very well that he had fallen into the temptation carefully woven by Sun Chuwei and could not extricate himself.

In that dim and dilapidated temple, Lin Fei knew that he had committed a crime that could not be undone. He had killed Sun Qianqian, who was infatuated with him. If the government knew about it, he would be convicted of a crime that he could not clear even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Sun Chuwei has a big family and a big business, so maybe she can escape, but what about him? Thinking of this, Lin Fei gritted his teeth.

He made up his mind and fished Sun Qianqian's body out of the well, which took a lot of effort. Just when Sun Qianqian's body, which had turned white and bloated by the well water, was about to be pulled out of the water, Lin Fei suddenly slipped and almost fell to the ground.

He thought to himself, it would be so unfair if he was scared to death.

Sun Qianqian's body had been soaked beyond recognition, her eyes wide open, as if she was still questioning this cruel world. Sun Chuwei, who was standing by, urged anxiously, with a bit of savagery and eagerness in her voice.

"What are you still dawdling about? Get rid of the body, you piece of shit!"

After hearing this, Lin Fei's eyebrows twisted into a "川" character, and he gritted his teeth and carried Sun Qianqian's body on his shoulders. But just as they were about to leave this ghost place, a burst of hurried footsteps came from afar, and dozens of yamen runners surrounded them.

Sun Chuwei's beautiful eyes were filled with fear, and Lin Fei's legs were as weak as mud, and he sat down on the ground.

At this time, a man who looked like a police chief walked in with a half-smile on his face, "Where are you two planning to go?"

"Ah?" Sun Chuwei's face turned pale instantly, and her panic-stricken appearance was very different from her usual noble image. Lin Fei's face had already turned pale, and his body was shaking like a leaf in the wind. In Chang'an City, the misfortune of the Sun family became the topic of conversation. At this cusp, an unusual warm current quietly flowed among the crowd, as if foreshadowing the dramatic turn that was about to take place.

Captain Li Tiemian had a cynical smile on his face and caught a glimpse of the commotion in the crowd from the corner of his eye.

"Lock up these two black sheep for me!"

In a blink of an eye, the Jingzhao government office was crowded with people, and the people rushed to see the trial of Miss Sun's murder case. But who would have thought that the situation would change suddenly overnight, and the plaintiffs Sun Chuwei and Lin Fei became prisoners.

Miss Sun Qianqian's body was also found, and the news spread throughout Chang'an like wings.

The crowd began to get noisy, pointing and whispering.

"What's going on? Didn't you say last night that it was done by a quack?"

"You're from out of town, right? Haven't you heard about it?"

"It was Sun Chuwei, the eldest daughter of the Sun family. She was jealous of her sister, so she colluded with Lin Fei and killed Xiao Qianqian. She dumped her body in a dilapidated temple outside the city!"

"What? There is such a thing? This person is more vicious than a snake or scorpion!"

"That's right. I heard that the case was solved so quickly, all thanks to the fortune teller Mr. Xu!"

"Oh? How did Mr. Xu do it? Tell me quickly!"

In this bustling crowd, Sun Chuwei's appearance was still as graceful as ever, her eyes seemed to contain autumn water, and her lips trembled slightly. Even though she was imprisoned, her charm still attracted the attention of others.

Her figure looked even more pitiful in the iron chains, her skin was as white as snow and her neck was slender. One could not help but wonder, how could such a beauty do such a cruel thing?

Lin Fei, on the other hand, had a gloomy look on his face, as if he had foreseen his own fate.

"As for the details, I'm just guessing. I heard that Mr. Xu's divinations were extremely accurate and he had long anticipated that Sun Qianqian would encounter this..."

Suddenly, with a bang, the prefect of Jingzhao slammed the gavel hard and ordered everyone in the room: "Silence!"

For a moment, the noise inside and outside the courtroom stopped abruptly, and everyone's eyes were focused on the prefect.

"Sun Chuwei... Lin Fei!" The prefect's voice was stern, his eyes were as cold as ice, "The evidence is irrefutable, what else do you have to say?"

Sun Chuwei and Lin Fei, the defendants, were so frightened that they were at a loss for words. Especially Lin Fei, he knelt there timidly, his body trembling and even stuttering.

Although Sun Chuwei was also filled with fear, she seemed much calmer than Lin Fei. She knelt there, her face as pale as paper, her eyebrows furrowed, and a hint of determination in her eyes: "Sir, I... have nothing to say."

The prefect snorted coldly: "You have already lost all conscience in your actions. What else do you want to say? Come here, let them sign and seal the agreement!"

After giving the order, the bailiff immediately stepped forward and handed the confession to the two. Lin Fei's hands were shaking, while Sun Chuwei gritted her teeth and signed.
