Chapter 178: Chasing the Murderer on a Rainy Night
Su Can's prediction was very accurate, and as soon as the wanted warrant from the government was issued, the murderer sent another letter.
He seemed to be waiting for this day, waiting for this day to come, for a long time.
---------------------------
"What's written on this letter?" Ah Shui asked.
"It's pretty much what we surmised." Su Can said, "This letter should be regarded as his confession, you should all take a look." ”
Bai Qiuchi took the letter and watched it in turn with several other headhunters and officials.
The words on the letter are neatly written, it should have been prepared a long time ago, but at the end, there is a new handwriting that is added later, it should be that he saw the movement of the government, so he sent the letter he wrote before according to the current situation.
This time it was a beggar who delivered it to the door. Previously, because it was expected that the murderer would put some clues at the gate of the government again, the garrison was increased. It seems that this murderer not only has good martial arts, but also has a flexible mind and a strong sense of anti-reconnaissance.
---------------------------
"In Xia Yang Li, with the mother's surname. I have lived in the Li family since I was a child, and the Li family has treated me well, giving me the opportunity to study and practice martial arts like a rich child. I am very content, and I don't have any ambitions, I just want to honor my elders and live an ordinary life.
Who would have thought that creation would make people! Chang Qi, a profiteer who has done a lot of evil, broke into my house with a few masked men and killed all the family members I got along with day and night, and this was all investigated by myself afterwards. They are extremely cruel, even my younger brother, who is less than a month old! I don't want to recall those details, I believe that your government can find out, and even if you can't find it, I will restore some of his modus operandi to you.
As for the innocent servants, including my mother and I, we were bound up and poisoned, and the pain that pierced our intestines made us faint. When I woke up, I found myself unable to speak.
The people who came to investigate seemed to go through the motions, did not ask in detail at all, scattered the domestic servants to the shelter to work as helpers, and then the case was closed.
---------------------------
I was very familiar with the domestic servants, and I asked them in detail about the clues I knew, and I also went to the government office to check the physical evidence, but was refused, so I went to the secret room at home to collect clues. The anger in my heart burned when I saw the familiar home, full of laughter and memories, become bloodstained and messy.
Fortunately, my father was cautious by nature, and all the ledger information had a regular backup collection, I checked it myself, investigated it in many ways, and found some clues, and the Chang family moved the family when this matter subsided a little, and I didn't know where to go.
I sent a letter of complaint to the government, but it was rejected again and again, perfunctory, and I was locked up for two years until I felt that I had given up the investigation before I was released. In this way, I understand more clearly that Chang Qi, a scumbag, must have colluded with the government, so he ended up in such a hurry before, and the murderer was not caught at all.
Less than a year later, my mother passed away under the double torment of inner pain and the after-effects of poison, and before she died, she looked at me and said her last words to me with a mouth that could no longer make a sound. I can understand that she is saying that the truth must be revealed, and the murderer must not go unpunished again.
Those who survived, as if they were properly taken care of by the government, were actually to better supervise them and prevent them from having the opportunity to reveal the truth. Since I was a kid at the time, I didn't pay much attention to me.
For the sake of my beloved family, for the sake of innocent slaves, I must punish this murderer!
---------------------------
I quietly escaped from the shelter, and after so many years of searching and searching, I finally found the Chang family, who had changed his name and surname. They actually hid in the countryside, with children and grandchildren, and lived a peaceful life. You don't know that they dress like dogs and do good deeds as if that would make up for their crimes.
I hid in the dark and observed them for a few days, and after finding out their routine, I began to implement my plan, I want to let Chang Qi's scum pay for his blood debts and blood, and also taste the taste of the whole family's annihilation!
Twenty years have passed, and I have finally taken my revenge!
It doesn't matter how much I have suffered in order to find him for so many years. Sleeping in the open air, because he can't speak, he is disliked, and he can only do manual work in order to make up for the travel expenses, and he can't waste practicing martial arts and speaking out.
It doesn't matter, as long as you can get revenge!
I punished his family in the same way, with those cruel means, and let him just watch. My throat was poisoned and hoarse, after so many years of practice, I could only make a hoarse voice, and from his frightened eyes, I knew that he understood who I was, knew to ask for mercy, and paid for his sins alone.
But what's the point? How can a person like him, if he does not have personal pain, understand the pain of losing a loved one, and how can he know how heavy his guilt is?
I was going to torture him both physically and mentally, and he pleaded with me as his eyes changed from horror to fear to pain, but I ignored him. I got rid of his family one by one, as if my family was also in front of me, they were smiling at me, and they could finally rest in peace.
I originally wanted to let go of the last baby, but I saw that although Chang Qi was always begging for mercy for his family, he did not repent of his sins.
Now, I have become a demon like him, but I have no regrets, I just hope that this matter can be revealed to the world, know about Chang Qi's previous crimes, and give an explanation to my family.
I heard that Master Su of the state is fair and strict, I will give you some clues, to see if you will be like those dog officials before to shield criminals, I have been paying attention to your recent actions, and found that you are indeed working hard to investigate the case, and you also have some skills, I have also gone to worship my mother in the past few days, and I have no worries, so I will not waste your precious time.
If you want to find me, go to the end of the woods to the east of Chengtang Village tonight. I heard that the now famous Bai Shaoxia is also with you, and I really want to learn from him. Yang Li respectfully"
---------------------------
"It should be that he can't speak, so he basically explained it clearly in the letter." Bai Qiuchi was puzzled, "But he has already confessed, why do you want us to go there at night to find him?" ”
"And I specifically mentioned you." Su Can was also very strange, "Everyone go and prepare, rest and recuperate, and we will meet him together in the evening." ”
---------------------------
Chengtang Village is on the outskirts of Mingzhou, although it is agreed that it is at night, Bai Qiuchi and they will go there in advance in the afternoon, first, to familiarize themselves with the terrain, and second, it is better to observe the situation during the day.
"Lord Su, Bai Shaoxia, we have already made a round, the woods are not big, but there is a cliff behind it." Ah Rong reported back.
"Let's take a look." Su Can said to Bai Qiuchi.
The two of them stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down, surrounded by mountains, and below was the valley floor.
The cold wind mixed with the rain stars blew them shivering.
"I don't know what Yang Li chose this place for?"
---------------------------
In order not to make Yang Li suspicious, they retreated when the time was almost up and went on time.
Yang Li saw them from a distance, so he rode his horse into the woods.
Su Can and Bai Qiuchi glanced at each other, and got on the horse to chase after each other.
The rain suddenly became heavier, and the late winter night wind swept the rain grains in their faces, and in a moment they were all soaked, and the cold was biting.
In the clearing in the forest, Yang Li suddenly stopped, dismounted and waited for them.
Bai Qiuchi and Su Can's horses were whipped quickly, and after a while, they found Yang Li, and they also dismounted, signaling to the subordinates who came from behind.
Only Bai Qiuchi and Su Can moved forward, and the others stopped in the outer circle, intending to gradually surround them.
"Yang Li, you have been surrounded, and if you are caught now, I can count you as surrendering." Su Can shouted in the rain, but his tone was not as cold as words.
Yang Li seemed to have expected this a long time ago, waved his hand at Bai Qiuchi, and pointed to the saber on his waist, meaning to compare with Bai Qiuchi.
"I'll go." Bai Qiuchi looked at Su Can and said, "If this is one of his wishes, he will not give up if he wishes." ”
"Be careful." Su Can nodded.
---------------------------
Yang Li saw Bai Qiuchi walking over, saluted, and drew his sword.
Bai Qiuchi also returned the salute and drew his sword.
As soon as the sword came out of the sheath, the corners of Yang Li's mouth were raised, and he looked very happy.
Yang Li's previous master who practiced martial arts was also quite powerful, but he was destroyed later, so he couldn't continue to learn. But he still wanted to learn more kung fu to avenge his family, so he worked hard to make money and went to the master again.
The master sympathized with his suffering, so he did not accept any money from him, he was also very able to endure hardships, gritted his teeth and persevered, after so many years, not to mention a master, but the speed and strength of his moves were much stronger than ordinary people.
---------------------------
Yang Li took the lead in attacking, he swung his sword directly at Bai Qiuchi's body, Bai Qiuchi easily held his sword, the two swords intersected, and the sword flowers shot out.
Bai Qiuchi's moves were also very neat, and Yang Li couldn't help but applaud this young man in his heart.
He used to be a teenager, as old as Bai Qiuchi.
Playing tricks with Bai Qiuchi is like talking to your past self.
Bian and Bai Qiuchi made a move, but Yang Li's mind drifted back to the past, those pure, simple, and happy days.
And just like that, he was distracted.
Bai Qiuchi stabbed with a sword, but he didn't dodge, so he closed his eyes. But he didn't feel the pain of the sword stabbing on his body, he opened his eyes in surprise, only to see the sword stop in mid-air, and Bai Qiuchi looked at him with a complicated look.
This child is mature and resolute, how can he be compared to his demonic self?
If he continued to live an ordinary life, it is estimated that he would not have the skills he has now, but he wants to exchange everything he has, even his life, for ordinary days.
It's over, and now it's all going to end.
Yang Li couldn't help but laugh.
---------------------------
"I threw in the towel." Yang Li's voice was hoarse, and he had to work hard to distinguish it before he could hear it.
Yang Li suddenly stepped back, jumped on his horse and rushed into the depths of the woods, regardless of how the people behind him shouted, and just galloped all the way to the edge of the cliff.
"Yang Li, don't!" Bai Qiuchi chased after him, shouting.
Facing the wind and rain, Yang Li stood up and asked the horse to stop, but he jumped down by inertia.
It had never been so relaxed, and the faces of his parents and brothers appeared in front of him one by one, and he smiled with satisfaction.
That's the end of it, it couldn't be better.
