Chapter 239: Stars in the Night
The man found a stool, asked Long Xi to sit down, sat down on a table by himself, and asked with a smile: "Isn't Mr. OU dead?"
Long Xi also imitated his tone and asked, "Is the dead headless male corpse Mr. OU?"
The man said, "Maybe, maybe not!"
Long Xi's eyes were bloodshot and his hair was messy.
She straightened her hair and pretended to be calm, "Actually, at first I suspected that the deceased was LU, because the skin color of the fingers of the male corpse was too even, and there was no trace of a wedding ring ring. But now my mind has changed, if the person who died is LU, then what reason does Mr. OU have to kill Mrs. LI and SI?"
The man smiled and said, "If the dead person is not LU, who is it?"
Long Xi said: "If my inference is not wrong, the person who died is Mr. OU." Really?"
With a look of appreciation, the man stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture, and said in a very gentle tone: "You can start your reasoning, please!"
Long Xi said: "If I guess correctly, you are Mr. LU, right? You have plastic surgery to look like Mr. OU, how many years have you lived with Mrs. LI?"
The man smiled and said, "Fortunately, it didn't take long, it's only two years." ”
Long Xi's heart was overjoyed. He even confessed!
Or is he going to tell her everything and kill her?
The person in front of him is the real murderer behind the design to kill a few people!
Well, as long as you can win this game, it won't be a big deal if you get killed in the game!
Long Xi desperately did psychological construction for himself, and finally suppressed the fear that surged out of his heart.
The man seemed to see through her thoughts, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you have no grievances with me, I will not kill people indiscriminately!"
Long Xi took the opportunity to ask, "Are you really Mr. LU?"
The man nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Long Xi asked again: "It was you who killed Mr. OU, the old housekeeper, and the BA master?"
The man nodded again.
Long Xi changed his words and asked, "You set the fire just now?"
The man smiled meaningfully and nodded again.
Long Xi felt like he was about to go crazy and shouted uncontrollably: "Why? Why didn't you even let MK go? He didn't do anything to you, did he? He didn't even know you existed!"
The man said coldly: "He? I didn't plan to kill him, he had to save that cheap woman!
Long Xi said: "You call it indiscriminate killing of innocents!"
"Innocent, tell me, am I innocent?" the man smiled self-deprecatingly, his smile full of bitterness.
Long Xi said: "Yes, you were also innocent! You were originally very talented, very talented in writing reasoning, I have read the book you wrote, and it is very well written! Who deceived you to this island in the first place? Is it SI?"
The man pursed his lips and said nonchalantly, "Guess!"
Long Xi asked, "You used to love SI, right?"
"Love, if that stupid infatuation is love, then maybe I really loved her! Yes, I loved her at that time, how long ago was that? four years ago?" the man repeatedly fell into the memory, frowning a little in disgust, and his eyes were a little dazed.
"She betrayed you, didn't she?" asked Long Xi tentatively.
"Yes, she betrayed me! No, did she ever love me? If not, how could she betray?" the man seemed to be talking to himself, asking himself.
"I think she may have loved you. This is not a detective's reasoning, but a woman's intuition. Now that you have the keys and can go in and out of those rooms freely, you should see the picture she put on the bedside table, which you took for her. She kept it, and it was always at the head of the bed. Long Xi said.
I was willing to do anything for her, even if she told me to jump into the sea to catch the crystal bracelet she deliberately threw into the sea, I did not hesitate, and I was willing to do it. I was dreaming of the day when I would publish and my career would be successful, and I would marry her in style!
Long Xi was moved by his gaze.
But in the next second, the man's gaze became gloomy and cold, cold without temperature.
"Did you meet SI on the island? So the person who brought you to the island wasn't SI, so who was it?" asked Long Xi.
"Guess!" there was a hint of cynicism in the man's gaze.
"If it's not SI, then I guess it's JU. Because he is a publisher by profession, since you want to publish, you are likely to go to him. Long Xi said.
"BINGO, YOU GUESSED IT RIGHT THIS TIME! YES, I WAS AN ORPHAN, I GREW UP IN AN ORPHANAGE, I HAD NO TALENT, NO AMBITION BUT NOWHERE TO PUT IT TO LIFE! I WAS ONLY TWENTY YEARS OLD THAT YEAR! I HAD JUST FINISHED WRITING MY FIRST MYSTERY BOOK, AND I HAD SUBMITTED IT MANY TIMES, BUT IT WAS PUSHED AND NO ONE HELPED ME PUBLISH IT. Later, I came to JU's office through a friend's introduction and handed over my brainchild to JU. After reading it, he said that he admired my work, said that he would publish it immediately, and said that he would take me to a place like a paradise so that I could concentrate on writing, and he would pay for it. ”
Long Xi shook his head and sighed. She could probably guess what was going to happen next.
The man said, "Yes, you guessed it!" He took me to the Lily Villa on this private island, where I was received very warmly by Mr. OU and Mrs. LI. They had already prepared a room for me to stay in, and Mr. OU even gave me his study. I'm really grateful to the three of them. The environment was really good for writing, and I started writing my second book. I remember very well that two days later, SI came. She had come to borrow money from her cousin, Mrs. LI, whose father often owed gambling debts. I met her in the garden and fell in love with her at first sight, and she said it was love at first sight with me. In those days, I didn't have the heart to write at all, and I was tired of being with her every day, and I never got tired of seeing each other. Until one day, SI came home. My heart is empty, God does not keep it, and I miss her all the time. One night, I was drunk and in a trance, as if I saw SI come to my bedroom...... When I woke up, I found that I had sex with SU. SU said that she loved me and had been in love with me since the first meeting, but she didn't expect that I would fall in love with SI. I knew she must have done something in my wine, and when I was a virgin, she was ...... At that time, Mrs. LI's child was only one year old and very healthy and lively, and SU was the family's personal doctor, who often came to the island and had an exclusive room in the villa. ”
Long Xi saw that he stopped and didn't say anything, so he asked, "What happened later?"
The man said, "Later, JU and my friend who introduced me to JU came, and he told me that my book had been published, and it was a bestseller and very well received. Then, he handed me a hardcover book, the content was written by me, but the title of the book was changed, and the author's name was not mine, but OU!"
"Then you must be shocked, right?" asked Long Xi.
"Of course, I was shocked! I yelled at him what was going on! Guess what he said to me? He said that Mr. OU would give me a large sum of money, and that Mr. OU wanted to hire me as his royal 'gunner'! I was so angry that I wanted to leave immediately, but everyone, including my friend, the old housekeeper, and their daughter AN, stopped me. They locked me up in the basement, which was like another study, complete with paper and pen, and it seemed that they had been planning it for a long time. ”
"The friend who introduced you to JU is the BA master?" asked Long Xi tentatively.
"Yes! We are neighbors, we have grown up, I have treated him as an older brother, and he has always taken good care of me! Even though he later did that and had a bad reputation, I was still willing to be friends with him! Just because I always regarded him as an older brother! He was very fond of fish, and he had to have fish at every meal. He often joked that he had eaten so many fish that when he died, he would have me chop up his body and throw it into the sea to feed the fish!
"So, after you killed him, you chopped up his corpse and stuffed it into the mouth of that big shark?" asked Long Xi.
"Yes, the cycle of cause and effect, I promised him, and he can be regarded as begging for benevolence. The man smiled.
"What about SI, why did you strangle her?" asked Long Xi curiously. She felt that there must be a reason why he chose this way to let SI die.
"Because she once said that if one day she had to die, she would rather die at my hands. She had also sworn that if she betrayed our love, she would be strangled by my own hands!
"Does SI know that you've been locked up in the basement for so many years?" asked Long Xi.
"I don't know if she knows, and I haven't had a chance to ask her. All I know is that when I escaped, the first person I wanted to find was her. She was the only star I had ever seen in the boundless darkness, and the only reason I had to stay alive and continue to write for OU! But guess what I saw? I saw her and OU doing that kind of unsightly thing in the rockery cave in the garden!" The man's voice was boundless desolation, like a desert without an oasis.
