Chapter 57: Last Words
When Lin Yantian came back to his senses, a tearing pain came from his lower abdomen, and he stared at the clothes that were gradually dyed red, only to realize that he had been shot, and the sneak attack was unsuccessful, and Lumond had already sensed his movements, turned to him and pulled the trigger.
The vertigo from his head caused him to collapse to the ground, and everything around him played out in slow motion: Lumond who pulled the trigger to fire a second shot, the three students who bravely rushed forward to scuffle with Lumond, Leek who was subdued and tied up by the soldiers, and his tearful daughter who ran to his side.
I'm sorry, Xi'er, I'm not a good father, and I haven't told you that your mother is still alive.
Lin Yantian gently stroked Lin Yaoxi's hair, thinking that after her eyes were closed, her daughter would have to face a world without relatives alone, and she couldn't bear this loneliness. So he waved his right hand in mid-air, signaling Mu Yunxi, Liu Yuhan, and Shen Fangli to come to his side.
"I'm sorry to have done such a bad job in what you have entrusted me with, but seeing the bravery with which you subdued Lumond just now, I am convinced that I have done the wrong thing, and that the three of you will have a bright future in the future. Lin Yantian coughed a few times and said, "Presumably my good luck has come to an end, I can't hide this time, but the only thing I can't let go of is this daughter of mine, after I leave, can you ......?"
Halfway through the words, Lin Yantian coughed a few times in pain, and Lin Yaoxi pulled his clothes sadly and cried: "Dad, you promised Xi'er, you won't die, you promised...... How can you go back on it?"
"Good old days, people's lifespan is limited, everyone will experience death, being a father is just to advance his death for a period of time, this parting pain you will encounter sooner or later, why not use my departure to create your early growth......"
"Senior, if you have anything to say, just say it, the three of us will definitely try our best to fulfill your wishes. Mu Yunxi asked solemnly.
"No...... Two of them are enough, and Fangli has her own way to go. Lin Yantian said and put Mu Yunxi and Liu Yuhan's hands on his chest, "My request can only be fulfilled by the two of you......
Mu Yunxi raised his eyebrows and peeked at Liu Yuhan, whose face was slightly flushed, wondering in his heart whether what Lin Yantian was referring to was to let the two of them find their biological mother for Lin Yaoxi? When he just wanted to ask a tentative question, Liu Yuhan grabbed ahead of him, and it seemed that the two of them had the same idea.
"What did the seniors refer to, about Lin Yaoxi's ......" Halfway through the words, Lin Yantian hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Liu Yuhan from talking, his eyes begging the two to keep this secret.
Then Lin Yantian's vision began to blur, and his voice became smaller and smaller, so small that only Mu Yunxi and Liu Yuhan could hear it.
"I hope that the two of you can take Xi'er to Haojun City, the capital of the Junlong Federation, where my sister, Xi'er's aunt Lin Bilang and her son live, you bring the news of my death to her, I think my sister will do her best to raise Xi'er......"
"Senior, please rest assured, we will not disappoint your entrustment. ”
"Thank you...... Now I'm relieved...... The Yin and Yang of the Yanhe Sword and the Yingbi Sword complement each other and complement each other, I hope you two have a good life......"
"Senior......" Mu Yunxi shouted sadly, but Lin Yantian had gradually closed his eyes.
Lin Yaoxi's cry immediately drowned out all the sounds.
There is a kind of death called loneliness, and there is a kind of sacrifice called peace......
Everything happened too suddenly, and by the time Shen Fangli came back to her senses, she had been standing on the way back to school for a long time, and passers-by were looking sideways at the girl with blood stains on her clothes, and more people were staying away, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble, and no one would be connected with a vicious battle that happened in front of the mayor's mansion an hour ago.
Mu Yunxi and Liu Yuhan were left at the scene of the crime by Gomel to deal with follow-up matters, and Lumond and his secretary Leek were handcuffed and taken away by the soldiers, originally Shen Fangli was also an important person involved in this case, but Liu Yuhan proposed that she could record a confession for her, and Mu Yunxi also comforted her that she no longer had to blame herself for Lin Yantian's death, seeing that they said it so tactfully, Shen Fangli had no choice but to let them go.
According to the arrangement, Shen Fangli had to return to school alone and inform the principal of their situation. She thought a lot along the way, especially Lin Yantian's words before he died, Mu Yunxi and Liu Yuhan must have hidden something from her, but she couldn't guess it. But one thing is certain, in Lin Yantian's eyes, Mu Yunxi and Liu Yuhan are a match made in heaven, he let the two of them interlock their fingers to prove everything, according to the customs of the Wei clan, the interlocking fingers of men and women means that they propose, and Lin Yantian deliberately did it for her.
Shen Fangli felt a little lost, her loss was not Lin Yantian's actions, but Mu Yunxi didn't look at her again from beginning to end, Mu Yunxi didn't say anything, she must have hated her very much in her heart, because her wrong actions led to this tragedy that could have been avoided.
Sacrificing for the person you love the most is happiness, but Shen Fangli would rather not see this kind of happiness of kissing death.
But she saw it anyway......
From a gap in the crowd not far from the street, Shen Fangli recognized at a glance the black-framed glasses that had fallen to the ground, which belonged to Tang Xuantang.
Bright red blood stained across the cordon, and four or five policemen gestured to disperse the crowd of onlookers, including one in brown uniform, who was still surveying the scene, and a colleague next to him asked a question about an eyewitness woman.
Shen Fangli tried to push through the crowd to get to the cordon, and the scene in front of her suddenly made the tip of her nose sore: it was Tang Xuanyu who fell in a pool of blood, she was wearing the brown and yellow dress she wore this morning, and the fatal wound on the right side of her neck was the cause of her death.
Why did Tang Xuantang appear here? Although she saw it with her own eyes, Shen Fangli still didn't want to believe that it was true, and she rushed into the cordon desperately.
"This girl, what are you doing here? Please don't destroy the crime scene!" The policeman in brown uniform hurriedly rushed forward and grabbed Shen Fangli's sleeve.
"She's my friend!" Shen Fangli struggled to break free, shouting tremblingly.
When caressing Tang Xuan's face, Shen Fangli had a feeling of loss. If another person dies because of her, is it true that she was born an ominous person, as the prophecy says?
In a trance, Shen Fangli suddenly noticed a light brown notebook pressed under Tang Xuancheng's body, and she hurriedly pulled it out and flipped through a few pages.
This is Tang Yucheng's class notebook, each page is densely filled with what she has learned, and the header is also marked with a date, indicating the lesson she learned that day. However, all of her records were suspended on June 15......
On June 15th, Tang Yucheng's last self-study class was preceded by a spell class, and several points about the intermediate wind spell were clearly recorded in her notebook, one of which was about the wind blade spell, and she also wrote her own opinion under this spell: "The wind blade spell summons the blade with the power of the wind, turning the invisible into the tangible, and killing the silent between the silent." ”
Shen Fangli looked at the last sentence in Tang Xuantang's notebook, and then thought of the fatal wound on Tang Xuantang's neck, what is the connection between the two?
However, one thing Shen Fangli can be sure of is that Tang Xuantang's last "last words" indicate that she left the school without permission to help herself rescue Mu Yunxi and Liu Yuhan, but she didn't want to be poisoned on the way.
It must have been done by the people of the Tianzhao Sect again, and in order to deal with themselves, they have always been unscrupulous. Shen Fangli couldn't describe the hatred in her heart in words, and from the moment this conclusion came to her heart, she almost lost her cool and forgot the environment she was in.
The policeman in brown uniform saw that Shen Fangli's expression was a little strange, and guessed that she might be able to provide clues, so he showed Shen Fangli his ID and offered to ask her some questions about the deceased.
The police officer asked Shen Fangli a lot of questions, so many that she couldn't remember clearly, but she was still able to answer the most basic questions fluently, such as her relationship with the deceased, the identity of the deceased, age, etc......
Shen told the police officer that the last time she saw Tang was around 9 a.m. today, after which she went to the mayor's mansion to rescue her friend.
"That is, after the study hall this morning, you sneaked out of the school, during which the victim followed you, but you didn't find out. ”
"Right...... That's roughly what ......" What the brown-clothed officer said was exactly what Shen Fangli was thinking, which made her a little shocked, and after her emotions calmed down, she said slowly, "It's all my fault...... If I had paid attention earlier, the tragedy might not have happened, and I really shouldn't have acted alone, because with Tang Xuan's character, she would never sit idly by while her friend was in danger. ”
After Shen Fangli finished speaking, the brown-clothed police officer immediately fell into deep thought, and the police officers around him had doubts about Shen Fangli's words, because the crime occurred in a crowded neighborhood, and if the murderer did not have a very high level of cultivation, it was difficult to hide his true appearance.
It wasn't until Shen Fangli mentioned Colonel Gomel that the brown-clothed officer wiped his lips with his fingers irritably, turned a new page of white paper, and complained that Panhu City had not been peaceful recently, and two major cases had been reported in a row one morning.
Judging from the look on the face of the brown-clothed officer, he knew Colonel Gomer, whether Shen Fangli was right or not, he just went to Gomel to verify. But what will be the connection between the two cases?
Shen Fangli wanted to tell the brown-clothed officer her reasoning, but the officer decided not to leave her too much time, and after confirming that he had enough clues, the brown-clothed officer waved his hand and signaled that she could leave.
At this time, it was approaching night, and the blood-red afterglow of the sunset shone on Shen Fangli's body, leaving a long shadow behind her.
After the light, there must be shadows, and there must be darkness, and the darkness that can be seen is Shen Fangli's own shadow, what can't be seen? Tang Xuantang's closed eyes under the cloth list may be able to give her the answer.
