Chapter 648: Monkey Man
I realized that it was a bit inappropriate to close the net now, Tao Shuijin's emotions are currently on the verge of collapse, he will confess the truth of the year at any time, if Ding Yi suddenly intervenes, it is likely to make things complicated, if Tao Shuijin goes to the criminal police team, his emotions will be buffered, and he may no longer be willing to confess.
Thinking of this, I hurriedly gestured behind my back and signaled Ding Yi not to act rashly, Ding Yi should have seen my gesture, and the movement outside the door quickly disappeared.
Tao Shuijin smiled bitterly: "I wish he was really dead, so that I don't have to wipe his ass......." β
Tao Shuijin slowly opened the conversation, and the truth of the year gradually became clear.
The Tao family is the most orthodox descendant of the nightmare in the local area, to the generation of Tao Shuijin's father Tao Quan, it is already more than the one hundred and twentieth generation of the heirs, although the giant wheel of the times has made the folk magic of the nightmare become magic, juggling and other tricks for entertainment, but the Tao family's nightmare is still much stronger than the nightmare of other families, Tao Quan did not rely on his family's nightmare to collect money and harm people, but used the nightmare to control the monkey, became a monkey man, walked the streets and alleys to people to perform, and earned a legitimate income.
When he was a child, Tao Shuijin grew up with a group of monkeys, monkeys were his childhood playmates, sometimes he would follow his father to walk the streets and alleys, help his father beat the gong, and shout twice, at that time he didn't know that his family was an orthodox heir of the nightmare, he didn't even know what the nightmare was, but he simply felt that his father's monkey training skills were superb, his father could let the monkey wear a red dress by himself, and let the monkey perform hanging and sticking out his tongue to fake his death to please the audience, these ordinary monkey tricksters couldn't do it at all, Tao Shuijin had begged his father to teach him to play monkey, but his father always said that it was not the timeγ
Because Tao Quan's monkey playing skills are superb, the masses are willing to support him, which makes Tao Quan still earn a lot of money, and the family's life is gradually improving, which can be said to be worry-free.
Although Tao Quan only used nightmare magic to play monkeys and did not harm people, the pink eye in society and the competition among peers still caused trouble for the Tao family.
At that time, the society was very turbulent, and I don't know who made a small move behind the back to denounce Tao Quan, Tao Quan was soon put on the high hat of "cow ghost snake god", and became the target of the public, Tao Quan was pulled to the street from time to time, every time he was put back, it was like he had died once, and his spirit was devastated, and he was often hung on the tree at the entrance of the village to be exposed to the scorching sun, and the villagers dared not speak out, and the Tao family did not dare to do anything, because Tao Quan had told him not to interfere, otherwise it would affect the family.
Tao Quan suffered a lot of torture and humiliation, but he endured it, although he was rehabilitated by the changes in the situation, but also because of the torture fell ill, the mental state was problematic, the whole person was crazy, and would run out in the middle of the night while the family was not paying attention, Tao Shuijin's wife often took him to find his father, so after a few years, Tao Shuijin's mother really couldn't stand Tao Quan's madness again and again, plus she herself suffered from a stubborn illness for many years, her health was very poor, and finally she committed suicide in pain.
Tao Shuijin was heartbroken, and after burying his mother, he left the indifferent village and embarked on the road to find his father.
This search is many years, fortunately, the hard work pays off, Tao Shuijin finally found his father in a mountain in Hubei, but his father has gone completely crazy, and he can't even recognize people, not even his son, which makes Tao Shuijin heartbroken.
Because Tao Quan hides in the deep mountains and old forests all the year round, his language ability has deteriorated, and his thoughts are even more chaotic, only when he sees the monkey, he will appear in a state of sudden loss, Tao Shuijin has lost his mother, he does not want to lose his father again, he realized that only by letting his father be with the monkey and let him train the monkey can it be possible to return to normal, in order to make the father recover, he accompanied the father to live in the mountains and catch monkeys in the mountains.
Tao Quan's mental state is quite chaotic, if no one looks at it, it is easy to make trouble, Tao Shuijin can't take his dad into the mountain to catch monkeys, there is no way he can only tie his dad to a tree, once Tao Quan broke free of the rope and ran down the mountain, and when Tao Shuijin came back, he panicked and hurried down the mountain to look for it.
When he found someone, he was shocked by the scene in front of him, only to see a boy wearing a red dress, hanging and swinging under the beam, and a weighing stone between his feet, looking very strange.
Daddy's mistake has been cast, Tao Shuijin fell into pain, he knows very well that Daddy is training people as monkeys, he is the first time to see Daddy's strange tricks to train monkeys, his Daddy is insane and can't master that degree, juggling has become murder, killing people has to pay for life This is a truth since ancient times, Tao Shuijin also knows this truth, but he knows that Dad didn't mean it, in the face of the difficult choice of morality and family affection, in the end he still chose family affection.
After bringing his father back to the mountain, Tao Shuijin's heart was deeply tormented, and Tao Quan got a certain catharsis because of "monkey training", and returned to normal for a short moment, which surprised Tao Shuijin.
Tao Quan was surprised after a short sober and told him what had happened, Tao Quan was surprised, but quickly calmed down, he didn't know how long he could be awake, he didn't want to lose the family's ancestral secret techniques because of his illness, so he decided to teach Tao Shuijin all the tricks and spells he knew.
In the process of learning, Tao Quan went crazy again, and ran down the mountain while Tao Shuijin was not paying attention, this time Tao Shuijin couldn't find it no matter how he looked for it, but he didn't give up, which is why he has been setting up stalls near Taoist temples and temples to sell medicine, because Taoist temples and temples are almost all built on the mountain, and he is looking for his father in the mountains and forests for convenience.
The truth was revealed, Tao Shuijin choked with tears, I sighed, Wu Tian said with a blank face: "I didn't expect this strange murder case ten years ago to be just a deranged monkey trickster using special techniques to play monkey ......." β
Tao Shuijin wiped away his tears, regained his composure, and said with a smile: "Let the police outside come in, I did commit a crime." β
My heart fluctuated, and I said sadly: "Brother, why are you so confused, when you chose to call the police, it would not have become such an unmanageable situation today, the law has regulations on the murder of mentally ill people, if it can be determined that your father was not conscious when he killed someone, then he may not have to bear criminal responsibility, even if he needs to be responsible for the crime, it may not be too serious, but now that so many years have passed, it is no longer clear." β
