Deng Xinhe suddenly looked up at Qin Xi in shock. “How did you know?”
Qin Xi smiled mysteriously and quickly reached out to grab the black smoke on his shoulder. Her motion was fast, and before Deng Xinhe could react, Qin Xi had already known everything.
Deng Xinhe tensed up on instinct and looked at Qin Xi warily. “What… are you doing?”
The Cheng family, who knew Deng Xinhe’s identity, also felt their hearts tighten. They were afraid that Qin Xi would do something to Deng Xinhe. After all, they were the ones who invited her. If anything happened to Deng Xinhe, they would be in deep trouble.
“Don’t be nervous. I’ve already figured out what happened to you.”
Qin Xi smiled faintly and asked, “Young Master Deng, do you know how you were bewitched?”
Deng Xinhe was puzzled. “You, do you know my identity?”
He believed that Cheng Haizhong was a smart man and would not tell an outsider his identity. However, he was still very surprised to hear Qin Xi address him that way.
“Is that difficult to know?”
Qin Xi said casually, “Since I can tell what happened to you, I can naturally tell your family background too.”
When everyone heard this, they were shocked even more.
She was undoubtedly a master.
Deng Xinhe seemed to have found a straw to clutch at. There was a glint of hope flashing across his gloomy eyes.
......
He asked eagerly, “Miss Qin, can you tell me what I have to do to change this situation?”
Qin Xi smiled faintly. “Actually, it’s very simple to turn the situation around. Give the enchanter a taste of his own medicine. Do whatever the enchanter did to you. Get her to speak the truth and everything will end.”
Deng Xinhe was put on the spot. “But, but…”
Qin Xi said, “But you don’t even know who did it, right?”
Deng Xinhe scratched his head in embarrassment. “That’s right!”
Qin Xi gave him a hint. “You were enchanted by a low-level Eight Trigrams Soul Gathering Talisman. If the enchanter was not a mystic, this talisman could only be burnt into ashes and mixed with water to achieve its goal through oral consumption. Think about it. Before you kill, who handed you water? Remember, it’s water, not wine.”
Deng Xinhe lost in deep thought to recall the scene.
On the day of the incident, his girlfriend quarreled with her family and went to the bar to drink herself into oblivion. When he found out, he rushed over to comfort her and drank some wine.
He remembered very clearly that he had only drunk a few glasses of red wine at that time. With his extraordinary alcohol tolerance, it was impossible for him to get drunk. However, when his girlfriend handed him a bottle of mineral water, he did not think much of it and drank a few mouthfuls.
After that… Qi Heng appeared.
They were at odds with each other, but they never engaged in a violent fight. However, that night, when Qi Heng provoked him, his mind seemed to be bewitched by a voice. When he woke up again, he became a murderer.
Qi Heng’s family background was not ordinary, so the Deng family could not cover up for Deng Xinhe at all. In the end, Master Deng put down his pride and went around asking for help before this case was temporarily stalled.
However, this matter was not over. Deng Xinhe had to find a solution quickly, or he would have to spend the rest of his life in prison.
Recalling the water his girlfriend handed him, Deng Xinhe’s eyes suddenly turned red. He hugged his head in disbelief and shook it desperately. “No, no way. She would never betray me. She loves me so much. How could she drug me with that kind of thing?”
He suddenly looked at Qin Xi and asked, “You’re lying to me, right?”
Qin Xi said with a serious expression, “Wake up. Think about it. What has she done these days while you are in trouble?”
