Feng Qing didn’t answer her question. Instead, he asked, “Before answering your question, I also have a question I’d like to ask you.”
“What?”
“How did you find out it was me?”
Feng Qing believed that his plan was flawless.
Every step he took was carefully considered. He couldn’t figure out where he went wrong, where she saw through his scheme, and became suspicious of him.
“It’s simple. You made a fatal mistake.”
Feng Qing looked at her with interest: “Oh, what is it?”
“You disguised the murderer as a vampire to commit the crime.”
Feng Qing looked at her, waiting for her to continue.
“I don’t believe in vampires, so naturally, I won’t assume the murderer is one. As long as I step out of the illusion you created, it’s easy to discover your conspiracy.”
“Why don’t you believe it? In this ancient castle, the dead have no blood on their bodies, and there are teeth marks on their necks. All of this can just prove the existence of vampires? How reasonable is that?”
Feng Qing stumbled upon this place and discovered a magical powder that could absorb blood, so this plan formed in his mind.
In his plan, when the police arrived, they would simply treat it as an unsolved mystery.
After all, the murderer was a vampire—an undead creature from legend.
“Reasonable?” Bei Yutang chuckled.
“Precisely because it’s so reasonable, so logical, it seems all the more fake. Actually, there was a time when I believed vampires existed, but your attack on me before convinced me that this wasn’t the work of a vampire.”
Feng Qing immediately thought of the time she fainted in the library: “Was it that?”
“Yes. That’s it. If I’m not mistaken, that night, your target was me. You just changed your mind halfway through and targeted Gongsun Mingyue instead. Is that right?” Bei Yutang looked at him with a smile, as if she were talking about something trivial.
Feng Qing chuckled lightly, “That’s right. I went to such lengths to work on you because I naturally wanted to make a move, but unfortunately, an unexpected event occurred midway. Gongsun Mingyue and Yan Jin, that despicable couple, wanted to put on a show to get rid of my dislike, so I’ll grant their wish. Didn’t she say she was ambushed and attacked? I just gave her what she wanted.”
“Just as I expected.” Bei Yutang wasn’t surprised to hear him say this; it was a result she had already guessed.
“Your actions that time left traces, causing you to lose two major allies, and at the same time made me harbor doubts in my heart, and also made me question the story about the vampires.”
“If you discovered it wasn’t a vampire, how did you determine it was me?”
Feng Qing was too confident in his plan. Since she discovered it, there must have been a flaw.
He desperately wanted to know what flaw had caused a blemish in his perfect plan.
“Actually, before Li Mengmeng died, I only had some suspicions about you, but I had no solid evidence to prove it. Let’s put it this way: Dr. Zhang and the other two went to the East Hall to investigate, but you and I didn’t go. At that time, you seemed like you were helping me, but it was just to have a reasonable excuse to stay behind.”
“Since you no longer had the support of Butler Sen and Ah Hua, you had to take action yourself. Therefore, you need to find a plausible reason to stay. It just so happened that at that time, I had a disagreement with Li Mengmeng and the others.”
