After dinner, Zhang Dingguo was called over by Di Renjie to chat. He even sent Hu Jinghui away.
Although emotionally speaking, Di Renjie was very unwilling to believe that Hu Jinghui was also an accomplice in this case, let alone treating Hu Jinghui as his own son, Di Renjie was selfless. Even his own third son was dismissed from office because of his misdeeds when he was an official.
Di Renjie still remembered the incident in Great Willow Village where he was knocked out by sleeping pills while drinking water at night.
When he got up to check, Li Yuanfang had just returned from outside the house and claimed to have gone to the toilet. However, in a well-planned situation, such a mistake would not be made. The effects of the sleeping medicine would definitely last until he returned from the mission, so Hu Jinghui's suspicion might not be less than Li Yuanfang's.
However, from the current situation, Li Yuanfang was still more suspicious.
After all, Zhang Laosi had betrayed him in court today. He was obviously coerced by someone, and Zhang Laosi and the others were escorted by Li Yuanfang along the way, so the person who was most likely to threaten Zhang Laosi was Li Yuanfang.
However, this was only speculation. It could not be ruled out that someone had taken advantage of Li Yuanfang's negligence to threaten Zhang Laosi.
Thus, Di Renjie had sent Li Yuanfang to bring Zhao Chuanchen back to the residence this time because he had the intention of testing Li Yuanfang.
After all, Zhao Chuanchen was a breakthrough point in this case. If Li Yuanfang was really a spy, then there was a high chance that she would kill Di Chun when he was not paying attention. In other words, with Li Yuanfang's martial arts skills, as long as something happened to Zhao Chuanchen on the way, there was a high chance that he would be a spy.
In comparison, Zhang Dingguo was very different.
Not only did Zhang Dingguo have a sufficient alibi, but he was also from Pengze, Jiangxi Province. It could be said that he had nothing to do with Youzhou. From these two points alone, Zhang Dingguo was far less suspicious than Hu Jinghui and Li Yuanfang.
Therefore, Di Renjie tried his best to only discuss confidential matters with Zhang Dingguo in order to keep it a secret.
Zhang Dingguo came to Di Renjie's room and observed the surroundings. After confirming that no one was eavesdropping, he signaled Di Renjie to start.
Then, Di Renjie recounted the events of the past few days in detail.
"Elder Guo, you mean that one of General Hu and Yuan Fang is a spy?”Zhang Dingguo asked in surprise.
"Yes, although I don't want to admit it, the person who drugged me that night at Great Willow Village couldn't have been those villagers. It could only have been one of them. But from Dingguo's tone, you seem to be more willing to trust Yuanfang?”
If someone else had wanted to drug Di Renjie, it would have been more meaningful to just poison him.
After all, the only purpose of drugging a person who was about to fall asleep was to prevent the person from waking up at night to go to the toilet and finding that a companion had suddenly disappeared.
Because of this, Di Renjie narrowed his suspicions to Li Yuanfang and Hu Jinghui.
As for the villagers, even if they wanted to report the news, they could just go directly. Di Renjie would not be able to find out.
However, Zhang Dingguo made a mistake. The way he addressed Li Yuanfang and General Hu clearly made him seem closer to her.
But logically speaking, Zhang Dingguo and Li Yuanfang had known each other for less than a month, but he had known Hu Jinghui for almost half a year. There was no reason for him to abandon Hu Jinghui and get close to Li Yuanfang. If there really was a reason, then it could only mean that Zhang Dingguo had a bad impression of Hu Jinghui. Otherwise, he would not have subconsciously answered in such a critical moment.
"This, Di Nation's Old He said this?”
Zhang Dingguo really did not know how to answer this question.
He admitted that because he had peeked at the script, he knew that Hu Jinghui was a spy. That was why he chose to trust Li Yuanfang without holding anything back. This was even more obvious in his subconscious. After all, he hadn't watched so many TV dramas for nothing.
However, he didn't expect Di Renjie to see through his mistake.
"Dingguo, don't you think that when you say the word 'Yuanfang', your feelings seem more intimate and trusting? However, when he said 'Tiger General', he didn't have much emotion. It was as if he was only saying a code name.”
Actually, Di Renjie had something else he did not say. He wanted to ask if Zhang Dingguo and Hu Jinghui had a bad relationship.
"Is there? Why don't I think so? However, based on my intuition, I'm more willing to believe Li Yuanfang.”Seeing that he could not avoid it, Zhang Dingguo could only use this most unreliable reason to answer.
"Oh? You and Yuan Fang have only known each other for less than a month. How can you trust him so much? Could it be that when you interacted with Jing Hui, you discovered something unusual about him?”After all, Di Renjie had only known Hu Jinghui for a month, so it was normal for him to make a mistake.
"Cough cough, although it's wrong to speak ill of others behind their backs, since the country elder asked, I can only say it. In the half a year that I spent with General Tiger, I could feel that he was a good person. But for some reason, I always felt that he had many things hidden in his heart, as if he was carrying a heavy mission. It always makes me feel uncomfortable.
On the contrary, Yuan Fang makes me feel that he is very simple and a very forthright person…"
Zhang Dingguo's implication was that Hu Jinghui was a person with secrets in his heart…
" After hearing what you said, I'm starting to have the same feeling. Jinghui is indeed hiding something in his heart…"
Di Renjie also understood that if he had to choose between a forthright and unreserved person and a person who had secrets in his heart, most people would choose the former.
Because the latter hid it from you. Perhaps he is your real enemy…
" Sigh, let's talk about Jinghui later. After all, we don't have any conclusive evidence yet…"
Just as Di Renjie and Zhang Dingguo were at a loss for words, Li Yuanfang returned to report that Zhao Chuanchen had brought her back…
