Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 853 Color

When Wu Xunsheng heard Qiao Anbo talking about what had happened, he looked at Wu Xunsheng. Wu Xunsheng wanted to hear what Qiao Anbo himself had to say.

After Qiao Anbo finished speaking, Tie Hongyan immediately asked, "You said that Jian Geng once asked you to send someone to poison me. Who was the person you sent to poison me at that time?" Of course, she thought of Zuo Youqun. She already had an idea in her mind. She wanted to hear what he said and see if he would say the name directly.

"It's Zuo Youqun." Qiao Anbo said.

Tie Hongyan remembered the man in red sandalwood clothes that Wu Xunsheng mentioned he saw, so he asked Qiao Anbo, "What color clothes were you wearing when you gave Zuo Youqun this task?"

Qiao Anbo didn't even need to think about it and immediately answered: "Purple sandalwood."

Tie Hongyan exchanged glances with Wu Xunsheng again, then asked Qiao Anbo: "It happened so long ago, and now I ask you what color the clothes you wore that day were, and you answer immediately. Think again, are you sure you remembered it correctly?" She wanted to test Qiao Anbo.

Qiao Anbo said, "I'm absolutely sure I remember it correctly! If you asked me what color clothes I wore when I did something else, I might not be able to answer so quickly. However, when Zuo Youqun failed to poison you, Officer Jian Geng felt very strange. In addition to asking me to kill someone, he also told me not to wear any clothes I wore that day again. I also promised Officer Jian Geng that I would burn all the clothes I wore that day, and I did so later, so I have a particularly deep impression of the color of the clothes I wore that day."

"You said that Officer Jian Geng asked you to kill someone. Who was it?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"That day, Zuo Youqun and I made an appointment to meet in the woods. In order to prevent Zuo Youqun from being followed when he came to the woods to find me, I specially found someone to pick him up and take him into the woods. I trusted that person very much, but Officer Jian Geng thought that Zuo Youqun's failure to poison you might be because that person informed on you, so he signaled me to kill him." Qiao Anbo said.

When Wu Xunsheng heard this, he recalled what he had seen that day and felt that Qiao Anbo must be telling the truth.

When Tie Hongyan heard what Qiao Anbo said, she recalled the scene Wu Xunsheng had described and found that it matched perfectly. She then asked, "Did you kill that person later?"

Qiao Anbo said, "No. That man saved me before. He told me that he could find a strange man who could detoxify my sister. With this hope, I naturally couldn't kill him. And I knew he definitely couldn't be an informer. There aren't many people I trust, but he is really trustworthy. However, I never expected that he would suddenly fall seriously ill and pass away before he could find that strange man for my sister. I told Jian Geng that I had dealt with him."

Jian Liang looked solemn and said nothing. Tian Sha, Jian Rou and Tian Wen also looked gloomy. They all felt that they were in big trouble, but they didn't know what to do in this situation, so they didn't speak easily to avoid making things worse.

Tie Hongyan recalled the time when Wu Xunsheng told her and Qian Rui that there seemed to be someone behind the big tree at the East Riding Shooting Field, so she asked Qiao Anbo, "You just said that Jian Geng asked you to drug the horse I would use in the competition. How did you decide which horse I would use in the competition?"
