Chapter 32: Ask the world, hate what, teach life and death 5

The Lin family finally bowed their heads. After three door-to-door persuasion, Lin Man had to order her door to be demolished and asked nine people to carry the sedan chair to Yongning Square to invite people.

Wei Tanyi came to Lin's house with such infinite scenery. After getting off the sedan chair, he bowed to Lin Man to show his flattery. Because many colleagues were watching, Lin Man had to say with a black face and a smile that Mr. Wei was too polite. In the past, it was not my fault. You don't care about the villain.

"Lord Ming," although the housekeeper has respectfully said that Lord Ming has full authority to entrust him, in front of me, Wei Tanyi still maintains impeccable etiquette and asks him first, "If Cao Min has any questions to ask, can you directly ask anyone in this house?"

"This is naturally possible. Lord Lin, Mrs. Lin, please inform the whole house to answer Mr. Wei's questions truthfully. Ming Bujing has made him break the maze many times, and in addition, he doesn't care about fame and fortune, so he appreciates him very much, and at this time, he treats him very politely.

With permission, Wei Tanyi first asked Mrs. Lin, "Madam, have the third lady ever had a secret contact with Mr. Ye in the past?"

Seeing that he asked so sharply, Mrs. Lin was a little at a loss and turned her head to look at her husband. Lin Man still said with a straight face: "Mr. Wei regards Lin as someone. There will never be close personal friendship between men and women in this Shangshu Mansion, not to mention my daughter and my students. This is pure fiction."

"So the young man who was killed in the lady's room is also innocent?"

"...that's natural!"

Wei Tanyi nodded slowly and asked, "Then why did Lord Han find the sweat towel that should belong to Mr. Ye in Miss San's room?"

Lin Man's face suddenly changed: "It's just nonsense! My Lin Man's daughter will never be that kind of shameless **!" Before he finished scolding, he was grabbed by Mrs. Lin and pleaded, "Sir! Now, what's the point of hard concealment? It's better to say it all and ask Lord Ming to catch and kill his daughter!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lin Man was about to be furious. Fortunately, several Dali Temple officials were quick-sighted and restrained him.

Mrs. Lin took a few steps forward and knelt down in front of Wei Tanyi: "Mr. Wei, this was originally an ugly thing. I don't want to publicize it, but now everyone is dead. If I can't catch the murderer, I can't see it clearly!"

"Madam doesn't have to be so polite," Wei Tanyi helped her up. "As long as the lady says yes or no."

Despite Lin Man, who roared beside her, Mrs. Lin nodded with tears: "Our little girl has been in love with Yier's child a few years ago. I have also asked the master, or let them get married, but the master is stubborn and refuses to say anything. The two children are under the same roof, but they have to think that they can't see each other. Love, I feel uncomfortable when I look at it like a mother!"

Wei Tanyi glanced at the dejected Lin Man and asked, "The maidservant in the lady's room..."

Mrs. Lin blushed and nodded.

"So the case is clear," Wei Tanyi seemed to be relieved and turned to the people watching. "By last night, twelve people had died one after another. On the same night, it was a man and a woman who secretly loved each other behind people's eyes. Why did the murderers kill them? Maybe I can't stand it. In order to clean up the atmosphere, what does Lord Lin think?

Lin Man was stunned, and her whole face suddenly turned into a pig's liver: "Wei, do you want to say that I killed so many people! What evidence do you have!"

Wei Tanyi spread out his hands and said, "If it is a killer under Lord Lin, Mr. Ye is afraid that he will be smashed into ten thousand pieces. How can there be a happy flowers all over his body? This is obviously not a manifestation of killing people because of hatred."

Ming Bujing, who had been listening silently, suddenly asked, "So, did the murderer deliberately want this pair of men and women to die beautifully?" Do you think it's good for them?" The words caused a lot of discussion around the audience, and everyone guessed what kind of person would have such a strange idea.

"That's exactly what the murderer thought."

Wei Tanyi calmly threw out a sentence and successfully made all the people present calm down and look at him.

"The murderers feel that they are too tired to live. They obviously love each other, but they can't be together. Even if they can barely have sex now, one day they will separate, or change their hearts, or marry another party, or die early. It's better to die together before the separation comes."

The lingering scene always disturbs my sleep in the dead of night.

He hasn't slept soundly for three years. He always repeatedly dreamed that his father was furious with a kitchen knife in the afternoon when he and his sister became orphans.

Originally, they had a rich and happy home. Their father did a small business in the city, and his mother knitted and cooked at home. He went to school to study. His sister fed pigeons at home. She didn't even have a quarrel. She spent every day laughing. However, the lie lasted so long and buried so deeply.

I remember that Mr. had something to do that day, so he left school early. When he returned home happily, he saw his mother, who was in ragged clothes and bruised, begging bitterly to his father, and in his hand, he held a blood-stained kitchen knife.

The people from the same village reported to the official, and my father was taken away. He confessed to the fact of the murder and immediately went to prison. At first, he was full of doubts, and then he gradually understood what was going on. It turned out that every afternoon when he and his father went out, his mother was fooling around at home with a man in the neighboring village. Even Xiaoling, the sister he had always loved, might be a bastard born to his mother and the man.

Shame and anger almost defeated him. When I saw my sister several times, I couldn't help but feel that she didn't look like me or my father. It seemed that she really had the shadow of a stranger. He had murderous thoughts, but his heart was soft [empty] again and again - Xiaoling. When she looked at herself with pure and innocent eyes, he couldn't help but be ashamed of his thoughts.

Everything is my mother's fault. It has nothing to do with my sister. My sister is innocent.

With this idea, he left the village with Xiaoling and settled in another small town far away from home.

Xiaoling's innocence and cuteness gradually healed his heart. He began to sell calligraphy and paintings for a living. Fortunately, he sold well and could barely support two people. Sometimes he even felt that if it hadn't been for such a sister, he would have been depressed. Rather than supporting his sister, he would rather save him.

The feelings for Xiaoling are mixed with the love for his sister, the gratitude for the benefactor, the hatred for his mother, and the fear of the strange man he has never met. These feelings have disappeared one after another, and they continue to seize the control in his heart, which makes him suffer in all kinds of ways.

And finally one day, all his feelings collapsed. He strangled his sister crazily. At that moment, he seemed to see the shadow of his mother on his sister's face. The poisonous snake, the woman who ruined his family, spit out a letter at him with little hesitation. The ground did it.

Xiaoling soon lost his breath, but his heart also lost its dependence from then on.
