Chapter 133: Behind the Madness
"I'll ...... It's really Ah Xing!?"
Wu Lao Liu, who was on the side, stared at the pair of thief eyes, looked up and down at the man in the burqa, and shouted in a suffrage. "W-This is a human or a ghost!"
Looking at the man in front of him who really "came back from the dead", everyone present looked incredulous, but the gluttonous face still had no expression, as if he was not surprised by this. At this time, in the face of Chen Siyi's questioning, the man in the burqa only sneered, and his gloomy attitude was almost like that of him before.
"Hmph, why did you do this? Didn't you guess it a long time ago?" Ah Xing glanced at Chen Siyi, and that kind of humility and respect had long been lost in his eyes. "All of this I did was for Xiaojie, to help her get justice!"
"So in order to carry out revenge, did you deliberately direct a scene where you were 'blown up'......" After a moment of silence, Jiang Yao finally recovered from the shock, and a certain doubt that had been hovering in his heart before also found the answer with the appearance of Ah Xing.
"Actually, I thought it was strange before, Wang Le, Zhang Qiuyue, Ah Hu...... These three were all the direct planners and associates of Wen Jie's death back then, so it is logical that they were targeted and killed by the murderer respectively, but you, Ah Xing, a person who did not participate in the unjust case at all, were also 'killed', and your 'death' completely jumped out of the murderer's murder logic, and it was particularly abrupt in the whole case. β
Jiang Yao stared at the silent man in front of him and continued.
"I actually considered the possibility that you were suddenly killed by the murderer because of something you bumped into, but if it was such a sudden situation, the murderer should not use the method of delaying murder such as implanting 'Gu worms'. Now it seems that maybe you had planned to let your 'death' in exchange for more room to act in order to carry out your next two murders, right?"
"......" Ah Xing was silent, his delicate face under the burqa was hidden in the shadows, and only the seemingly calm eyes reflected the cold glow in the lightning and thunder.
"Since he faked his death, the charred corpse in the kitchen was ...... Whose is it?" Chen Siyi stared at Ah Xing, and the anger in his eyes was a little more angry. "Could he ...... Killed a person in secret!?"
"No, about that corpse, I think...... I know who it is. Jiang Yao shook his head and said slowly.
"In fact, we all ignored one thing before, that is, the missing body of Wang Le. Let me make an assumption, if Wang Le was indeed killed by him with a 'Gu worm' at the beginning, and has been controlled by the 'Gu worm' as a puppet since then, then the subsequent series of 'corpse mutiny' turmoil can also be explained. And the extra charred corpse at the scene of the kitchen explosion this time is probably the corpse of Wang Le who was implanted with a 'Gu worm', which should be proved as long as the corpse pieces are used for biological verification in the future. β
Jiang Yao raised his head and looked at the man in front of him again.
"In order to completely get rid of suspicion, you deliberately left the set of keys at the scene of the kitchen explosion, not only using Wang Le's corpse to create the illusion that you are dead, but also destroying the corpse by the way. It's just that in your plan, all the traces of clues will be burned by the fire, but you didn't expect the kitchen fire to be extinguished so quickly, not to mention that the corpse was not burned, and let us find the remaining 'Gu worms', which is your biggest miscalculation. β
"Hmph, I'm just 'recycling', who knew that this 'waste' would cause me so much annoyance......" Ah Xing, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly sneered and slowly opened his mouth. "If it weren't for the fact that the eldest lady shot out the fire so quickly, my plan would have been perfect. β
"Is it 'perfect'? No, you're leaving more flaws than that. Jiang Yao looked at Ah Xing's eyes and said word by word. "You should have been the one who spied into our room in the first place, right?"
"......" Ah Xing's face seemed to twitch a little, and he didn't speak.
"At the beginning, because of your eldest lady's instructions, you had to arrange us to Wen Jie's room, but you were worried about what we would find in the room, so you thought about peeping into the situation, but you didn't expect to be noticed by us. Unfortunately, I saw your back from the mirror on the dresser when you fled...... Although at the time I thought it was my delusion. Jiang Yao sighed and said.
"As for the person who destroyed the corpse wax footprints next to the wellhead in the backyard, it should be you...... Because you're afraid that others will find out that the 'corpse wax footprints' are fake. β
"Fake?" Chen Siyi looked at Jiang Yao in surprise. "What the hell is going on!"
"Several 'corpse mutinies' that happened in the house before didn't leave corpse wax footprints, but this time they appeared, don't you think it's strange?" Jiang Yao said, turning his head to look at the ancient well not far from the backyard.
And there was only Ah Xing who was a witness at that time, and the footprints also appeared out of thin air and disappeared out of thin air, so thinking about it, there was only one answer left, and this footprint was actually forged by Ah Xing himself from the beginning. For him, who works in a medicine store, it may not be difficult to get the corpse wax, but what he didn't expect was that the Chen family would seriously investigate the biological information of the corpse wax, so he hurriedly destroyed the traces of corpse wax at the scene. β
"Then what is the reason why he created 'corpse wax footprints', including using Wang Le's corpse to constantly create 'corpse mutation' panic?" Chen Siyi questioned. "If he really planned to avenge Wen Jie, then why did he kill the other two people only a month after Wang Le's death?"
"I don't know the specific reason, but I guess maybe a month ago, he wasn't sure who else killed Wen Jie besides Wang Le. Jiang Yao analyzed. That's why he deliberately used Wang Le's corpse to cause a storm and test everyone's reaction, including the corpse wax footprints. Because he knew that Wang Le's accomplices would definitely not be indifferent to this...... Am I right? β
Jiang Yao raised his head and looked at the man in the burqa in front of him, but the other party didn't seem to deny it, but the sneer on his face became more and more intense.
"Hehe, if the man surnamed Wang confessed to the dog man and woman before he died, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to screen the suspects. Ah Xing snorted coldly and said slowly. "Originally, I thought that the Chen family's medicine experts had a big business, and they wouldn't care about the turmoil of a small branch at all, but I didn't expect that it would attract the Chen family so quickly, and there was a reward, and the more troublesome things became...... As soon as I saw Miss Chen come this time, I knew that there was not much time left for me to get revenge. β
"So...... You just decided to act tonight, even if you haven't identified the suspect yet?" Jiang Yao asked.
"Hmph, who is suspicious, I already know in my heart, do you think I'm just waiting this month?" Ah Xing sneered. "The corpse wax footprints are just a final test, and the reaction of those two people is already eight or nine, and you also overheard the argument between those two in the backyard?"
"It turns out that the person who was on the roof at that time was you......"
"Yes, you must know what happened later. I gave Zhang Qiuyue a Gu, but I didn't expect that she would be killed by Ah Hu before the Gu poison attacked, and the two dog men and women died together in this form, which is really ironic......" Ah Xing's face gradually became hideous. "They teamed up to kill Xiaojie back then, and all I did was their 'retribution'!
"But you're not qualified to decide their life and death!" Chen Siyi rebuked angrily. "If everything in this world is solved by lynching, then what do you need the rules of the law for?
"But did the law punish them!?Those people have been at large for so long, and who will avenge Xiaojie for Zhaoxue!?" Ah Xing yelled. "I never believed that Xiaojie's personality would do such a thing as running away after dispensing the wrong medicine, and she disappeared unexplained. So I've been looking for her for the past year, and I think that as long as I find her, everything will fall into place, but ...... But in the end, what I found was the news that she was killed by Wang Le and them!"
Ah Xing trembled, his expression distorted with sadness and anger.
"Back then, they broke into Xiaojie's room and killed her, and even transported her body into the mountains and threw her off the cliff, pretending to be a mistake! Since the so-called legal rules cannot wash away Xiaojie's grievances, then I will help her get justice! I did all this for 'justice'!"
"Is your so-called 'justice' that even innocents are to be killed?"
The cold words were like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing Ah Xing's madness. Ah Xing's expression twitched slightly, he raised his head and stared at Jiang Yao in front of him, as if he was quite dissatisfied with his words.
"Innocents, what's innocent about those beasts!?"
"Then what kind of killer did you kill her before?" Jiang Yao said coldly, stretching out his hand to Zhao Minmin, who was trembling on the side. "She didn't have anything to do with Wen Jie, and she didn't participate in the killing of Wen Jie, why didn't you even let her go before?"
"......" Ah Xing was stunned for a moment, and his face became gloomy again.
"What kind of 'justice' is it to attack innocent people in order to cover up your crimes?" Jiang Yao looked at the man in front of him and said word by word. "You're just a 'criminal'!"
"Shut up!" Ah Xing roared, and the whole person showed a sickly mania. "You know what!?"
"Whether you take it or not, it's all over. Jiang Yao shook his head and said. "Surrender, you have no chance of winning. β
"Hehehe...... It's you who don't have a chance of winning!" Ah Xing smiled hideously, looking up at the sky, where the rain was pouring. "What do you think I've spent so much time talking to you for?"
"Ah, oh no......" Zhao Minmin suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly shouted at Chen Siyi. "'Gu worm'...... Ah Xing has planted a lot of 'Gu worms' in the water tank! If those 'Gu worm' eggs flow into the sewer and mix with rainwater......
"Hmph, I'm only now realizing that it's too late. Ah Xing said, and the ominous shimmer of the spell gradually lit up from the palm of his hand, and at the same time, a strange sound of "squirming" began to sound from all directions.
"Thisβthis is!" Jiang Yao looked at the insect-shaped objects that were rapidly growing in the rain at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a sense of foreboding suddenly rose from his heart. "Do you want to ......!?"
"Hahahaha! How does it feel to be besieged by a bunch of '*'!?"
Ah Xing laughed maniacally.
"All of you...... You have to be buried for me!"
