Chapter 267 Revealing Identity
Not to mention the little actions between Zhao Ji and Xiao Mei, Di Renjie and Zhang Huan have already reconstructed last night's scene for Wen Kai.

Wen Kai was a capable man. He turned around abruptly and looked at his boss Wu Xiang beside him with lightning eyes: "The murderer is you!"

Wu Xiang took two steps back, looking very surprised: "Sir, are you kidding me?"

Wen Kai looked solemn and carefully organized his words: "Mr. Zeng's analysis is precise and accurate. He used the method of elimination. He eliminated all possibilities and only left one, and this one is the truth of the matter!"

The boss was secretly delighted, but he still tried to argue: "Sir, are you going to just listen to his one-sided words and say that I am the murderer?"

Wen Kai sneered: "One-sided statement? Mr. Huai used the method of reasoning to solve the case without any evidence!"

"This is the most brilliant case-solving technique, which requires careful thinking and a clear mind. It's ridiculous that you are so ignorant that you say this is just one-sided. It's really ridiculous!"

Zhao Ji found it funny when he heard this. "Cracking the case without any evidence" sounded strange, like a compliment mixed with criticism.

Wen Kai stared at Wu Xiang again and asked sternly, "At this point, you still want to quibble?"

Wu Xiang responded with a sneer, trying to turn the tables: "Sir, Zeng Tai clearly saw me as a informant and framed me. May I ask, sir, there must be a reason for murder, what did I want to do by killing these two guests?"

Wen Kai was speechless for a moment and turned to Di Renjie with a questioning look.

Di Renjie slowly walked up to the boss and whispered, "Snake Spirit!"

These two words were like an electric shock, causing Wu Xiang to shudder all over and exclaim, "How...how did you know..."

Before he finished speaking, he realized that he had said something wrong. His face suddenly changed, he lowered his head and said nothing, cold sweat dripping down his face.

Wen Kai was equally shocked, his eyes fixed on Di Renjie.

Di Renjie sneered: "I know much more than you think!"

At this tense moment, Wu Xiang gritted his teeth, suddenly attacked, drew out a short knife, and stabbed Di Renjie in the throat.

Everyone cried out in surprise, and Wen Kai became extremely anxious, wishing he could protect them with his own body.

Zhao Ji's figure flashed, almost in sync with Wu Xiang's attack, and he suddenly appeared in front of him. He kicked out fiercely, accurately kicking the dagger in Wu Xiang's hand away.

The dagger spun at high speed in the air, and finally with a "clang" sound, it pierced deeply into the cabinet beside it, making a crisp and shocking sound.

Wu Xiang was also kicked and staggered back and fell to the ground.

Zhang Huan had been watching from the side for a long time, already holding a knife in his hand, ready to chop down and kill the assassin.

Seeing this, Di Renjie shouted, "Spare his life!"

Zhang Huan quickly stopped the steel knife in his hand, put it on Wu Xiang's fat neck, and looked back at Di Renjie.

Di Renjie turned around and said to Wen Kai, "Sir Governor, the murderer has been captured. Can I get away with it?"

Wen Kai was filled with shame and bowed his hands, saying, "Sir, your skills are amazing. I admire you very much! Please accept my humble respect!"

As he said this, Wen Kai was about to kneel down to Di Renjie.

When Di Renjie heard the word "lower official", he knew that Wen Kai already knew the identities of the two.

He quickly extended his hand to support her, and said with a smile: "It seems that Governor Wen also has a lot of experience in solving cases. Huaiying is not talented, but I would like to discuss it with you."

When Wen Kai heard Di Renjie say the word Huaiying, he understood.

He waved his hand and ordered the law officers and the bailiffs: "Take the prisoner back to the governor's mansion. I need to consult with this old gentleman!"

"Yes, sir!" Fa Cao agreed and looked at Di Renjie in surprise, not understanding why the governor was so respectful to this old man.

The bailiffs didn't think too much about it. They picked up ropes, tied Wu Xiang up, and took him away.

At this time, Zhao Ji winked at Zhang Huan and others, and they all bowed and retreated. Seeing that everyone had left, Xiaomei also left on her own accord.

After all the strangers had left, Wen Kai turned to look at Di Renjie and asked tentatively, "Huaiying, is that your name, sir?" Di Renjie smiled and turned away, "Huaiying, that's my name. Why?"

Wen Kai looked at Di Renjie and said, "Mr.'s reasoning today is truly unprecedented and amazing. It reminds me of someone..."

Di Renjie was very pleased with these words. He asked with a smile, "Who is it?"

Wen Kai's body had unconsciously hunched down, completely putting himself in the position of a subordinate: "It is the current Prime Minister Di Renjie, Lord Di."

"I have great admiration for Lord Di and have studied his methods of solving cases. If I remember correctly, his name seems to be Huaiying, right?"

Upon hearing this, Di Renjie laughed and frankly admitted his identity: "Yes, I am Di Renjie."

Wen Kai was shocked when he heard this. He immediately knelt on the ground and apologized: "I didn't know you were coming. I was so arrogant and rude. Please punish me!"

Di Renjie didn't care. He personally helped Wen Kai up and comforted him, "Master Wen, there is no need to be like this. This trip was to investigate the people's sentiments privately and we don't want to make it public. Let's forget about this matter now and don't mention it again!"

Wen Kai was filled with gratitude and thanked him repeatedly: "Sir, I am extremely ashamed."

"I hope you are well, Governor Wen?" Zhao Ji also walked over slowly at this time.

The voice was familiar, but Wen Kai looked at Zhao Ji's unfamiliar face and couldn't help feeling a subtle discomfort in his heart: "General Zhao, could this be the human skin mask that you mentioned?"

Zhao Ji nodded slightly and explained, "That's right. My Lord and I went to Liuzhou this time, and to avoid the eyes and ears of the snake spirit, we had to use this expedient measure."

Wen Kai heard this and gave a bitter smile: "It is indeed hard to guard against. Your humble servant, your humble servant almost caused a disaster."

Zhao Ji patted Wen Kai's shoulder comfortingly: "Don't worry about it. Every failure makes you wiser. Since you were fooled by us first, you won't be fooled by the snake spirit again!"

Wen Kai felt mixed emotions, and could only keep responding, "General, what you said is absolutely right. I will keep it in mind."

Di Renjie interrupted at the right time and brought the topic to the point: "Where are the bodies of the two deceased now? Have any important physical evidence been found at the scene?"

Wen Kai quickly turned to his leader Di Renjie and said, "The bodies are in the governor's mansion, but we didn't find any physical evidence on the two dead bodies. When we looked at their packages, it seemed that they had been moved in advance."

Zhao Ji frowned when he heard this: "Has it been moved beforehand?"

Wen Kai turned to Zhao Ji again and said, "That's right. Since the shop owner is the murderer, he must have done something wrong!"

Zhao Ji thought he was talking nonsense and said unhappily, "Of course, the important thing is, what did he do?"

Seeing that Zhao was unhappy, Wen Kai became anxious and returned to the path dependence of the inner guards: "I will go back to the governor's mansion and will use all means to pry open the boss's mouth!"

After a pause, Wen Kai seemed to be thinking about something. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his doubts: "It's just that I have a question. I don't know if I should ask it?"

Di Renjie smiled slightly: "Oh? You can say it anyway!"

Seeing Di Renjie's approval, Wen Kai asked, "What secrets does this Qingyang Inn have? Why has General Li lived here for so long?"

"Who is that boss? Why did he kill two of Snake Spirit's subordinates?"

Di Renjie pondered for a moment, and finally became a riddler: "I can only say that this place is related to the snake spirit. As for the rest, I can't say for sure."

It is not appropriate for Wen Kai to know about Xiaomei's affairs yet.

Wen Kai was stunned. This answer was as good as nothing. However, since Di Renjie was not going to explain, he had to nod and pretend to understand.

Seeing this, Zhao Ji smiled with a hint of cunning and suggested, "Since the innkeeper has been captured, why don't you and Governor Wen return to the Governor's Mansion for interrogation first?"

"Zhang Huan and I will stay at the inn and search carefully. Maybe we can find some clues!"

After hearing this, Di Renjie and Wen Kai did not think there was any objection, and they began to act separately.
