In this area where the Lin family is located, there is a small auditorium near the sea, which is full of the rankings of the deceased ancestors of the Lin family.

It is said to be a small auditorium, but in fact there has never been any grand ceremony here. However, when the head of the family, Lin Sheng, was still alive, he would go to the beach every year to worship his ancestors, and then hold a family dinner here. At that time, hundreds of people from all over the family gathered together, laughing and laughing, and it was also extremely lively.

Now that Lin Sheng has passed away, this small hall has been directly used as a mortuary, surrounded by thick and tall white candles, and the fire is flickering, showing a different kind of sacred solemnity under the cover of night.

Li Qing was standing outside the silent mourning hall at the moment, facing the sea breeze blowing from the sea, snorting his lips, as if he had also tasted the saltiness of the sea.

There was silence all around, no sound.

Li Qing walked towards the mourning hall step by step, stretched out his hand to open the door, and walked into the candlelit hall.

In front of the wide and heavy Nanmu coffin, a person knelt quietly. Dressed in filial piety clothes, with a thin figure, his head bowed, and he didn't say a word.

Li Qing approached him, stood behind him, and bowed pretendedly.

"Li Qing, don't be hypocritical. A cold voice sounded, and Lin Yuan had already stood up and turned around, staring at him with a grim expression.

"After all, it's an elder. Li Qing tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Why are you looking at me like this? It's like he's dead in my hands." ”

"The Lin family doesn't welcome you. ”

"Oh, does your Lin family welcome Qiuqiu?" asked Li Qing with a smile.

Lin Yuan looked down and did not answer Li Qing's words.

Li Qing sneered, ignored Lin Yuan anymore, turned around and paced around the coffin for a few steps: "How did Mr. Lin die?"

After all, in the face of the deceased, Li Qing still hid the "old guy" in his stomach and changed to "Mr. Lin" to call Lin Sheng.

Lin Yuan didn't answer: "Can you go?" Grandpa just passed away, and he needs to be quiet. ”

"He really needs to be quiet, after all, it's been too long. Li Qing glanced at Lin Yuan lightly, "But I think you should talk to me, did Mengdie say that your behavior is playing with fire?"

"You're warning me, don't think you have a good relationship with my sister and you can point fingers at me. Li Qing, you are not worthy. Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and said viciously,

"Hehe, it seems that you have a deep grudge against me. Li Qing's gaze stayed on the Nanmu coffin in front of him, "You haven't answered me yet, the cause of Mr. Lin's death." ”

"Died of illness. ”

"Died of illness. Li Qing repeated, his voice a little low, "Is it because of heart disease?"

Lin Yuan's face changed suddenly: "Li Qing, what do you mean by this!"

"Nothing else, I want to open the coffin. ”

"Bastard, you disturb the purity of my Lin family, you are impatient. Lin Yuan's face was hideous, and he stretched out his hand and pulled out a pistol from under his filial piety clothes, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at Li Qing's eyebrows.

"You still need a gun for the wake guard? Li Qing smiled and shook his head, "You'd better put the gun down, otherwise you will inevitably get a little lesson from me." Although I promised your sister, I did not include me teaching you a lesson when necessary. ”

The hand holding the gun trembled, and Lin Yuan shouted coldly: "Get out!"

Li Qing grinned, put his hands in his pockets, looked around the mourning hall, and raised his chin at the front: "Is this the ranking of your Lin family's ancestors and ancestors? Lin Yuan, do you feel scared when you are here alone? In the dead of night, listening to the sea breeze like ghosts crying and wolves outside, do you feel guilty?"

"Li Qing, I'm not in the mood to listen to your nonsense in the middle of the night, I don't even understand what you're talking about. Give you one last chance, and if you don't leave, I'll shoot. ”

"Yes, we are all duckweed in this world, and there are so many choices, but in fact, we can't help ourselves. Li Qing sighed softly and stared down at his feet, "I still remember how you looked two years ago, even though you were immature, but you were high-spirited, and you were invincible." Now, he has become a lone wolf that is barely breathing, clinging to the last weed..."

Before Li Qing's words were finished, Lin Yuan had already gritted his teeth tightly and raised the muzzle of the gun slightly.

Before he could pull the trigger, Li Qing had already flashed closer, and two fingers pinched Lin Yuan's wrist.

The sharp pain from his wrist made Lin Yuan grin, and the pistol was instantly taken out of his hand, and was firmly caught by Li Qing's other hand.

Lin Yuan took a step forward and pounced on Li Qing with open hands. He is also quite skilled, and his speed is quite fast, but it is much worse than Li Qing.

With his hand pressed on the lid of the coffin, Li Qing flipped over in the air: "You don't plan to do it in your grandfather's mourning hall, do you?"

The two men were separated by a coffin, staring at each other. Lin Yuan to the left, Li Qing also to the left, Lin Yuan to the right, Li Qing to the right, and the two of them circled around Lin Sheng's coffin.

Lin Yuan gritted his teeth with hatred, and finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Li Qing, what are you going to do? You are not the Lin family, I advise you not to do too much." ”

"Lin Yuan, can you tell me a little reason? If it weren't for your troubles, why would I go to this troubled water?" Li Qing grinned and reprimanded, "Didn't you call Qiuqiu? Are you embarrassed to let me not meddle here?"

Lin Yuan gasped viciously, kicked his feet violently, and then stepped on the coffin with his second foot, turned directly to Li Qing's side, and rushed towards him.

Li Qing took half a step back, and as soon as he reached into the air and grabbed Lin Yuan's collar, he directly threw him to the ground with his backhand with the latter's scream of "ah".

Pinching Lin Yuan's neck and pressing him to the ground, Li Qing laughed and said, "If Lin Sheng knew that you kicked him like this, would he be happy?"

"Li Qing, you..."

Before Lin Yuan finished speaking, Li Qing had already struck him lightly on the back of the head with a knife, knocking him unconscious.

"It's so tiring to talk to fools, I'm really not interested in chatting with you. Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up and shrugged his shoulders.

"I know, you're smart, so let's talk. Li Qing smiled and patted the coffin of Nan beside him, "It is said that dead people can also speak, so you might as well tell me about it today." ”

Li Qing said, he had already jumped onto the platform, grabbed the edge of the coffin lid with one hand, and gently moved it away.

Accompanied by the sound of rubbing, under the bright candlelight, Lin Sheng's wrinkled old face was revealed. The climate in Zhonghai is sweltering, and it is already the limit to be able to mortuary for three days. A large number of corpse spots had already appeared on Lin Sheng's skin, which was difficult to hide even if he had been carefully put on makeup before being buried. And the somewhat pungent stench emitted by the corpse made people frown.

Li Qing sighed, took out a pair of rubber gloves from his pocket and put them on, and muttered: "I'm even ready for you to cheat to death... I didn't expect it, but I was really dead. ”

Putting on the rubber gloves, Li Qingtan pinched his fingers under the corpse's neck, and then opened his eyes again.

The corpse's eyes were blood-red, and its entire eyeball was congealed with blood. This phenomenon is most likely due to the rupture of blood vessels around the eyes caused by brain damage.

Li Qing frowned, groaned slightly, and then put his two hands into the coffin and gently lifted the corpse's head.

After groping his fingers for a short time on the back of the corpse's head, Li Qing found a deep wound, located at the back of Lin Sheng's head, and the wound should have come from a sharp weapon. Li Qing initially estimated that it was a short dagger, which was inserted diagonally into his brain from the bottom up.

With the devastation around the wound that Li Qing felt, although this short dagger did not pierce Lin Sheng's brain, it was inserted into his skull and flickered, causing Lin Sheng's instant death.

The wound on the back of the head has stitches and is covered with hair on the back of the head, so if you don't examine it carefully, you may not be able to detect it.

"I didn't expect you, an old fox, to have a time when the boat capsized in the gutter. Li Qing withdrew his hand, sighed again, took off the rubber gloves and threw them on the platform outside the coffin, "After living for so many years, even if you die a disgraceful death, you can be regarded as living enough." You've said everything you need to say, now you can sleep well..."

When Li Qing was about to put the lid on the coffin again, a cold and hoarse voice suddenly came from above his head: "Li Qing, do you have to have such a heavy curiosity." Lin Lao has already slept, and now you should accompany him to sleep. ”

". Li Qing couldn't help but curse, "You only sleep with the old man, and your whole family sleeps with the old man." ”

His eyes looked around, and finally settled behind the wooden railing on the second floor. An old man with a haggard look and a gray face was resting his withered palm on the railing with a dry palm like an eagle's claw, staring at Li Qing condescendingly.

This person is the chief housekeeper of the Lin family, He Tangzhi.

"Oh, the murderer has appeared. Li Qing turned around with a smile and raised his head to stare at He Tangzhi's wrinkled old face.

He Tangzhi grinned: "How can you be sure that this person is me?"

"My only professional specialty is killing, so I'm very knowledgeable about how to kill people. Li Qing said slowly, "That wound is very interesting, and it can only be caused when the two sides are very close. I believe that the only person in this world who can be so close to Lin Sheng, but who still makes him unsuspecting, is you, the chief butler. ”

"Hehe, you're so smart. ”

Li Qing shook his head: "It's a pity, Lin Sheng trusted you so much, but in the end, he died at your hands." When smart people are confused, he clearly knows that you are partial to Lin Yuan, but he is still quite relieved to keep you by his side, and in the end he actually incurred the disaster of killing, which is really sad and lamentable. ”
