Chapter 15 Perverting the Law for Personal Gain
Ling Chi is torture, which is called a thousand knives by the people, cutting people to death with a knife and bones, and this kind of torture is generally only used on people who cannot be punished by a serious death.
The most terrifying part of Ling Chi is that the torturer uses a knife to cut off the flesh and skin of the tortured person one by one, and there is a limit to the number of knives to be tortured, I visually measured that Liu Weiming's piled up meat should have more than 1,000 pieces, Ling Chi is particular about it, in order to give the tortured the greatest physical and psychological punishment, it is necessary to cut until the last knife before the tortured person can lose his breath.
The whole process is a long and life-like torment and pain, I think Liu Weiming should be glad that he didn't meet the real Ling Chi, judging from the pile of meat, the flesh and blood on the top are dark, indicating that Liu Weiming didn't last long before he died, and the person who killed him just wanted to complete the whole process of Ling Chi.
"Yuzi, you come." I was just about to stand up when I heard Yun Duruo call Han Yu over.
Yun Duruo squatted behind Liu Weiming's body, he was tied to the stone pillar, we walked over and saw Yun Duruo pointing to a place on the stone pillar, Liu Weiming's blood flowed down the stone pillar to outline strange lines.
"Yin Pact Charm?!" Han Yu recognized it at a glance, it was exactly the same spell as the one carved on the steamer next to Xie Tong's corpse. "The person who killed Liu Weiming used him as a sacrifice to make a yin contract, why did he do this?"
"There's one more number here." Nangong Yi pointed to the lines drawn by blood next to him, and a clear capital II appeared in front of us.
The number found next to Xie Tong's body was a capital one, and a capital two was found behind Liu Weiming's body...... They all have Yin Deed charms......
And both of them are related to the mysterious treasure, these are the common denominator of the two murders, if it has been roughly confirmed that it was Yoshida Hanzo and other Fusang people who killed Xie Tong, presumably Liu Weiming should also be eliminated by them.
I can understand that the motive for the killing was that Yoshida Hanzo killed people in order to get the copper plate, but Han Yu said that the Yin Deed can make a contract with the Yin Soul of the Revenant and drive the Revenant Soul to work for it, but since it is a contract, it must be treated accordingly, so it is necessary to use a living person to sacrifice to the dead.
If Yoshida Hanzo was just for the secret of the treasure, why did he kill these two people in this way, what interested me the most was the number found next to these two corpses, like some kind of number, if I expected it to be correct, it means that such a number will still appear, which means that someone else will be killed in this way.
Yun Duruo said to exit the mausoleum first to inform Liang Xiaocheng to investigate the scene, when I went up, my flashlight fell to the ground, I squatted on the ground and picked it up, Yun Duruo looked at my face and asked me what was wrong, I shook my head and said it was okay.
Back on the ground, Yun Duruo said that she stayed to protect the scene, Han Yu probably thought that I would stay with Yun Duruo, so I grabbed him and said.
"Yuzi, I'm a little uncomfortable for you to stay here too."
Yun Duruo asked me with concern What was wrong, I smiled faintly and said It doesn't matter it's a headache, Han Yu asked me to go back to rest He and Yun Duruo stayed, we went back the same way non-stop, Nangong Yi went to contact Liang Xiaocheng to send the police to the scene, Gu Xiaoxin sent me back to the room to rest, I said that I didn't need to let the prince take her around.
When everyone left me, I rolled over from the bed and immediately rushed to the place where Xiao Lianshan lived, he probably didn't expect me to come, and his eyes flickered a little to let me in.
"What are you doing here?" Xiao Lianshan looked absent-minded.
"Dad, I gave you a pen the year I graduated, do you remember?" I stood in front of him and asked nonchalantly.
"Pen...... Oh, remember, what's wrong? Xiao Lianshan subconsciously looked at the bathroom and replied.
"That's the first time I've given you a gift, and you've always had it with you, so you must have brought it with you when you came back, can you let me see." I looked at him calmly. "You used to be happy to see the pen I gave you."
"Pen...... It's still there. Xiao Lianshan nodded, his expression was a little unnatural.
"I want to see it." I said in an accentuated tone.
"I came in a hurry and forgot to bring it." Xiao Lianshan avoided my gaze.
I have known him for more than 20 years, and he has always been a bright and upright person in my heart, and I have never seen him so flickering like this.
I took out a silver pen holder from my coat pocket, put it on the table and slowly pushed it in front of Xiao Lianshan.
"Today I went to a place, coincidentally I actually saw this lost pen holder on the ground, and it was even more coincidental that this pen holder was exactly the same as the one I gave you, because it was made of sterling silver, and you were joking at the time, asking me why I didn't buy you a gold pen, because I was young at that time, and I didn't know what was good, so I thought about gold, silver, copper and iron, and I couldn't afford gold, and I thought that silver must be behind gold and must not be anywhere behind, and I always wanted to give you the best things in my heart."
Xiao Lianshan glanced at the pen holder on the table, changed his posture and still didn't look at my eyes, if I'm not mistaken, he has changed his fifth posture since I mentioned the pen.
"You wouldn't have thought I saw it somewhere, in the mausoleum, in a mausoleum that hadn't been stolen......"
As I spoke, I slowly walked around the room, and finally stopped, took a deep breath and looked at Xiao Lianshan.
"Dad, do you have anything to say to me?"
"No, it's just a similar pen holder, you don't need to make a fuss, you said it was just a coincidence." Xiao Lianshan reached out to hold the water cup, forgetting that I had just made the tea for him, and the hot teacup made him retract his hand in a panic.
He is the one who doesn't even frown when he has a knife on his neck......
"Dad...... Your greatest strength is also your greatest weakness, you know......" I said weakly as my hand slowly rested on the handle. "People like you can never learn to lie!"
Wow!
I opened the door of the bathroom behind me, Xiao Lianshan immediately got up from the chair, I looked at the things in the bathroom as I expected, but my heart began to sink slowly, inside was a pile of clothes that had just been changed and a pair of shoes stained with mud.
The bloodstained clothes have not yet had time to be cleaned up, and the soil on the shoes is the red mud unique to Qianshi Mountain, and the silver pen I gave him is placed on the washstand, it seems that Xiao Lianshan has just come back not long ago, he has not had time to clean the blood stains on the pen, this is a pen without a pen holder, I think the pen holder should be the one I put in front of Xiao Lianshan just now.
I slowly closed the bathroom door and rubbed it with my hand, walked to the chair next to Xiao Lianshan and sat down and took out a cigarette and lit it, this is the first time I smoke in front of him, because he doesn't like me to do anything to hurt himself, but I can only calm my emotions by relying on this now.
Xiao Lianshan also sat down without saying a word, I took a deep puff of cigarette and put my hand on the back of his hand, and the two of us fell into a long silence until the cigarette in my hand was finished.
"Dad, after Xie Tong was killed, he was put in a steamer to destroy his body, and the five people who entered the mausoleum to rob the tomb with Liu Weiming also died one after another, and Liu Weiming himself was tied to the stone pillar with a thousand knives...... Seven lives, seven! I took a deep breath and paused to look at Xiao Lianshan. What happened, can you tell me, although I am not your biological son, I have always treated you as my father, what can you tell me, can we solve it together? ”
"You really want to solve it with me?" Xiao Lianshan's tone became softened.
"You are my father, no matter how big it is, I will help you carry it." I nodded in the affirmative.
"Okay, you go back and pack up your things now and go back to Xiangjiang with me, I want to spend a few days when I'm old, my little temperament likes to live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes with your mother, and it's time for you to inherit what I have in my hands."
Xiao Lianshan's gaze became so familiar again, he looked at me so kindly and lovingly when he was a child, but I haven't seen it for a long time, and there is an inexplicable warmth in my heart.
Xiao Lianshan thought of something again, and his tone was full of pleading and expectation, and he took my hand and said.
"Your mother told me, I can see that you like Du Ruo, if you really like me, I will go to propose to Yun Chengyu, you take Du Ruo back to Xiangjiang together, so you don't have anything to worry about here."
The smile on Xiao Lianshan's face slowly faded, and finally disappeared gloomily into the tightened corners of his mouth, as my hand gradually retracted from his palm.
"Dad, seven lives, seven! Do you think we'll be able to walk away like this? ”
"Maybe we will have fewer ...... when we leave the dead," Xiao Lianshan frowned, his face full of wrinkles and vicissitudes and twilight.
"Why haven't you told you what you know until now, what are you hiding, or ...... Or are you involved in something? I pressed my hands on the table and asked in a loud voice.
"Nothing." Xiao Lianshan took a deep breath and looked indifferent.
"I thought I knew you well, but I didn't know anything about you."
"I don't need you to know about it." Xiao Lianshan picked up the teacup and replied coldly.
"Yes, yes, you don't need me to know, you don't want me to know the Ming Tomb, you know Jiang Shan, you don't want me to know, you are in charge of the Hongmen gang, you don't want me to know...... How much else do you don't want me to know, you think it's for my good, I don't need such a good, if you still treat me as your son, you tell me everything, I don't want to catch you with my own hands one day! "I said all the words that I had been holding in my heart for a long time out loud, I wasn't complaining about him, I was really worried about him.
Syllable!
Xiao Lianshan slapped the table in front of him heavily, and the whole person stood up violently and said loudly with a gloomy face.
"In my life, I have asked myself from the bottom to the right sky, the right to the ground, and I am also worthy of my brothers and family, I Xiao Lianshan have a clear conscience and have never done anything that hurts heaven and reason." Xiao Lianshan clenched his fists and stretched out his hands in front of me, and said righteously. "If you have evidence, you can arrest me right now."
"Proof! What other evidence do you want, you and your mother have taught me to be kind and law-abiding since I was a child, but now! Now I'm bending the law for personal gain. I pointed to the bathroom and argued loudly. Until now, you have nothing to do with the three Fusang people who were killed in Yongning Village, the bloody clothes and shoes in the bathroom can prove that you have been to the mausoleum, and I can extract your fingerprints from the lost pen holder, as well as the soil on the shoes...... And also! And the footprints you didn't clean up, I helped you wipe them off the mausoleum, Dad! Do you know what I'm doing, I'm committing a crime, I am guilty of dereliction of duty for you, do you know? ”
