Chapter 58: Is the Truth Revealed or Is There Something Else Hidden?
Swish!
The bald man picked up the kitchen knife on the ground and slashed at Li Mu's head.
"Be careful!" someone shouted to him.
Li Mu looked up and saw that the bald strong man who had a kind face just now had a hideous face at the moment, and his eyes were fiercely swinging a knife at him.
Hurriedly retreated.
Boom!
One stumbled, and Li Mu fell to the ground.
The bald man's kitchen knife missed.
Bang!
Meanwhile.
An octagonal iron hammer struck heavily on the skull of the bald man.
Poof!
The bald man fell in a pool of blood, his skull was smashed out of a deep pit by an iron hammer, and his brain and blood mixed with it flowed out of the seven orifices, shocking and dying on the spot.
"Brute, I should have killed you a long time ago!" the old man in room 208, carrying an octagonal iron hammer in his hand, stared at the body of the bald man tremblingly.
Li Mu got up from the ground, and the axe behind his back was already aimed at the old man.
As long as the old man dares to rush up, then there is only desperateness!
Bang dang!
The octagonal iron hammer in the old man's hand fell to the ground, and he looked at Li Mu indifferently:
"Okay, it's all over here, I've killed enough, the key to open the iron door is under the crack of the door, the reason why the mobile phone has no signal is because I put the signal jammer, and the jammer is also under the crack of the door, you turn off the jammer, the mobile phone can make a call, call the police to arrest me!"
"You turned out to be a murderer?" Wu Gan, who ran down from the second floor, happened to hear the old man's words.
Zhou Tao also stood beside Wu Gan, his face full of shock.
The old man smiled bitterly, sat down on the ground, and said:
"Do you know why this shop is called Fugui Hotel? Because my name is Fugui, our Fu family was a famous family in ancient times, with strong wealth, and our ancestors also loved to collect gold and silver treasures and antique calligraphy and paintings, even after nearly a thousand years, when it was passed down to my generation, there was only a pair of ancient paintings with gold silk as the base material. ”
"And I have two sons, the eldest son is kind and stable and filial, the younger son is selfish and vicious and inhumane, five years ago I handed over the Fugui Hotel to the eldest son to inherit, but the younger son held a grudge, saying that I gave the hotel to his brother, and I had to give him the ancient painting left in the house. ”
"But this is the only thing that our ancestors of the Fu family have inherited to this day, even if I am so poor that I starve to death, I don't dare to sell it, otherwise how can I be worthy of the ancestors of the Fu family, but I know that once I give the ancient painting to the younger son, it will definitely be ruined, so I didn't agree, but I didn't expect that this rebel actually colluded with a group of vicious people, stayed in the hotel, and wanted to rob it, but if it couldn't be robbed, he killed his brother......"
Li Mu, Wu Gan, and Zhou Tao, the more they listened to the old man's story, the more frightened they became.
The former owner of Fugui Hotel was the old man and old woman in room 208.
The old couple had two sons, an eldest son, who was the husband of a middle-aged female boss, and a second son, a bald man who had just been stoned to death with an octagonal hammer.
The eldest son is kind-hearted and filial.
The second son is a gangster, and his six relatives don't recognize him.
Knowing that there is still a priceless ancient painting left by his ancestors at home, the second son wants to get it with all kinds of coercion and temptation.
But the old man and his wife knew very well that the second son was an unsuccessful thing, how could they give him the only thing left by the ancestors of the Fu family.
But I don't want to.
The second son was ruthless, and found a group of scumbags in society to live in a hotel and help him forcibly take this ancient painting.
The bald man first killed his brother and then broke his brother's body to force his parents and sister-in-law to tell the whereabouts of the ancient painting.
Later, the police came to investigate the death of the hotel owner, and the bald man coerced his sister-in-law, saying that he had sleepwalking, and that she had killed her husband while sleepwalking, otherwise she would kill their only son.
The middle-aged female boss knew that this group of vicious people would do anything cruel, so she didn't dare to disobey.
Then, the bald man and his accomplices stayed in the Fugui Hotel for a long time, tortured their biological parents and sister-in-law every day, and spread rumors that the hotel was haunted, so scared that no travelers dared to stay in it anymore, and no one knew about their vicious acts!
"You, you don't have to kill them all, you can call the police. Zhou Tao looked at the old man with a frightened face.
"Call the police? Hehe, little girl, you are still young, are you really a policeman and can do anything? Are you really a policeman and not a human being? In fact, the policeman is just a decoration more often than not...... Moreover, if we call the police, once this group of gangsters who are inferior to beasts know, we will definitely die before all of them. The old man smiled wryly and shook his head.
"Then why are you killing them all tonight?" Wu Gan asked.
"Because tonight is the deadline they give, if we don't hand over the ancient paintings, they will kill us all, my eldest son has been killed by them, leaving only the only grandson, even if I die, I will not let this group of beasts succeed, but I didn't expect you to suddenly move in......" The old man sighed, his expression full of helplessness.
"The men and women in room 209 and room 207 seem to know the proprietress and they also followed your second son to grab calligraphy and paintings? And your wife is also dead, you killed her?" Zhou Tao lived on the second floor, and also heard the conversation between the female boss and the young woman wearing a black peaked cap.
The old man clenched his fists, his teeth biting his lips so much that blood flowed, and hatred invaded his bone marrow:
"The dog men and women of 209 and 207 are old acquaintances with my eldest daughter-in-law, and they all colluded with my second son and came to grab the painting, as for my wife, she, she was beaten to death by her own son, oh my God, why do you do this to our husband and wife!"
All doubts.
It seems that under the old man's explanation, everything makes sense.
In order to save the lives of his wife, eldest daughter-in-law and only grandson, the old man simply did nothing and killed these gangsters one by one with an octagonal hammer.
Whether it is a suspicion or the murder weapon used, it is completely consistent with the wounds on the head of the dead man.
Zhou Tao glanced at Wu Gan.
Wu Qian hurriedly ran to the crack in the big iron door and took out the key to open the door and the signal jammer.
Open the big iron gate.
Turn off the signal jammer.
Immediately dialed 110 to call the police.
Then, Wu Gan and Zhou Tao both glanced at Li Mu and waited for the police to arrive.
With such a big case and so many deaths, the three of them didn't dare to leave without waiting for the police to arrive.
Li Mu never said a word, he looked at the old man who was sitting on the ground, and the octagonal iron hammer in the old man's hand, and always felt that behind the seemingly truth, there seemed to be another hidden secret.
