Chapter Seventy-Two: The Dusty Past
…… It's done, just give the key to the other party when you get there, and the money will be remitted to our account.
A deep young man's voice.
It's so good, dear~ This money is enough for us to spend a few lifetimes! As for the stinky old man...... Hehe, he's afraid he won't find out the truth until he dies, hahahaha......
The voice of a charming young woman was tinged with contempt and a hint of excitement.
I'm ready for everything, and while the old man is away, we'll go tonight, and no one will find us when we get abroad...... Well? Who's there!?
……
"No...... Don't come here......" A trace of confusion flashed in Xu Yanwei's eyes, and he suddenly whispered to himself.
Yes!!
The woman's screams overlapped with frightened faces, pouring out from the depths of her heart, and the fragments of memories went from blurry to clear, and finally pieced together into a blood-colored picture.
He...... He's dead! You killed him, someone!!
"No, don't shout...... Shut up! Xu Yanwei's body trembled involuntarily, and a look of pain appeared on his face, as if he recalled some fragments that he didn't want to remember.
Ye Yu looked at Xu Yanwei's expression and didn't speak, he didn't expect his question to cause such a reaction from the other party, but this was also an opportunity for himself.
Taking advantage of the other party's distraction, he cautiously moved a step to the side, and glanced behind him quietly, there seemed to be several large debris piled up under the dust-covered dust cloth, which was enough to be a person's height, and he didn't know what it was. And there was a wooden door not far behind the pile of debris, Ye Yu had found it when he came in through the secret door before, but at this time he suddenly noticed that the originally closed wooden door had opened a crack in the door.
Hey? When was this door opened?
Just as Ye Yu was secretly thinking about the escape route, Xu Yanwei suddenly recovered from his memories, his eyes swept straight towards Ye Yu, and his eyes returned to their previous coldness.
"Hmph, since you know this point in time eight years ago, you must have been convinced of the identities of these two skeletons." Xu Yanwei straightened the gun in his hand and sneered. "You're right, these two people in the stone room are indeed the woman and her mistress who disappeared eight years ago."
Facing the muzzle of the black hole in front of him, Ye Yu temporarily stopped his small movements, and he looked back at Xu Yanwei calmly: "Their death has something to do with you?" But if I'm not mistaken, eight years ago you were just a kid about twelve......"
Xu Yanwei and Ye Yu stared at each other silently, not knowing what they were thinking. After a moment, he finally opened his mouth slowly, turning over the old past.
"Ten years ago, on a rainy day, Uncle Zheng rescued me from the side of the road who was about to die. I looked like I was only about 10 years old, but I didn't have any memories of before I was 10 years old, I didn't know where I came from, where I was going, I didn't remember where my family was, the only thing I knew was that I escaped from a place......" Xu Yanwei explained calmly.
"I don't remember where it was, I just know that it was a terrible place, so many children like me were killed, and there was only one thought in my head to escape! Otherwise, it's a dead ......."
Ye Yu looked at Xu Yanwei in shock, not knowing whether to choose to believe his words, but he continued to listen.
"For the next two years, I lived in this house with Uncle Zheng." Speaking of Zheng Qiu, Xu Yanwei's eyes obviously softened a lot. "Uncle Zheng is a very kind and lonely person, although people say that after the death of the eldest lady, his temperament became very strange, and his children and servants were a little afraid of him, but he was very kind to me, like his own son, not only taught me to read and read, but also taught me to paint, and the murals in the house are the works of him and the eldest lady. That time was arguably the happiest day of my life, until"
Xu Yanwei paused, his gaze suddenly changed, and the only trace of tenderness in his eyes was instantly replaced by a thick hatred.
Until that woman suddenly appeared, I don't know what means I used to confuse Uncle Zheng, and insisted on marrying her into the door, even at the expense of falling out with my children. Originally, I didn't want to interfere in Uncle Zheng's family affairs, after all, I was very grateful to be able to stay, but that woman was not good to Uncle Zheng at all, and she always beat and scolded me...... What's even more odious is that she and her mistress actually had the idea of beating Uncle Zheng's property behind his back! ”
"How did you find out?" Ye Yu asked.
"That night eight years ago, Uncle Zheng happened to go out to run errands, I stayed alone in a room in the dark passage to paint, and suddenly heard a strange man talking outside, I was curious for a while, and quietly ran out to take a look, just happened to bump into the woman and a man I had never seen conspiring against something." Xu Yanwei tried to calm his emotions. "I was at a loss and wanted to tell Uncle Zheng, but I accidentally made a noise and was caught by them, they thought I heard their conversation and wanted to kill me, so I had to run desperately ......"
"And ...... then?"
"Later...... Something went wrong. Xu Yanwei's eyes were a little empty, and he seemed to have returned to that night back then. I was caught up and thrown to the ground by the man, who grabbed me by the neck and tried to strangle me...... And when I was about to die, the man's hand suddenly let go, blood spurted out of his head like a waterfall, and fell straight down, and I found that Uncle Zheng appeared behind the man at some point, and he was still holding a metal lampholder dripping blood in his hand. ”
"Zheng Qiu is back? It's killing that man! Ye Yu was shocked.
"Uncle Zheng is here to save me!" Xu Yanwei roared. "But that woman was so frightened that she wanted to call the police, Uncle Zheng saved me twice, how could I let him go to jail? So...... I pushed her down. ”
"Push down? Push where? Ye Yu just had a question, and suddenly thought of something. Don't...... Is it there?!
"That's right, the underground stone chamber." Xu Yanwei smiled miserably. "I accidentally triggered the trap when I was running for my life, and the woman's feet happened to be the hole in the stone chamber, so I didn't even think about rushing through it...... She was silent after she fell. ”
"And then you threw the man's body in there?"
"This is the best way to dispose of it, few people know the structure of this house, let alone the secrets in the dark room, and it is only suitable for them that scumbags like them are slowly rotting in such a cold place." Xu Yanwei's face was full of disdain, but then there was a faint sadness. "But...... After that incident, Uncle Zheng was afraid that I would be implicated, so he finally entrusted me to the care of a friend, and kept the secret in this house alone until ...... Be discovered by you. ”
I see...... No wonder Xu Yanwei was so nervous when he mentioned the stone chamber before. Ye Yu thought secretly.
"Again, I really planned to leave you alive, but who made you find those two corpses." Xu Yanwei looked at Ye Yu indifferently. "Although Uncle Zheng has gone, I don't allow him to be labeled a murderer after his death, after all, he was also there to save me in the first place......"
"Heh, he certainly didn't think he had saved a demon at the time." Ye Yu looked at the other party coldly. "If Zheng Qiu knew that you had killed so many people, I am afraid he would not rest in peace."
"Those people are innocent!!" Xu Yanwei argued loudly with emotion. "I'm just doing the right thing for heaven! Use my way to sanction the scum for whom the law cannot be held accountable! I am righteous! ”
"Justice, hehe, please don't insult the word." Ye Yu is colorful. "Even if Zhou Hao and others did something unforgivable to Zheng Qiu at the beginning, what about me? What about You Yong? What about Liang Yunxiao? We are completely innocent people, and if you claim to be righteous, why are you killing me now? You're just a coward who kills someone and wants to get away with it. ”
"Shut up!!" Xu Yanwei's eyes were bloodshot, his face was hideous, and the gun in his hand trembled slightly. "If you were brainwashed, I wouldn't kill you! You can only blame your bad luck for this! I'm not wrong, that's right!! ”
Looking at the man who was gradually falling into madness in front of him, for some reason, Ye Yu's mind suddenly crossed the so-called evil spirit possession of the so-called evil spirit that Liang Yunxiao said earlier, which was just the result of people being devoured by negative energy.
Zhou Hao was corrupted by greed, reduced to a tool for killing, and finally went to ruin; And this Xu Yanwei in front of him was blinded by deep hatred, lost his mind, and even abused the Blood Key Stone...... Xu Yanwei's final outcome is already obvious, and his collapse is only a matter of time, and what Ye Yu needs to figure out now is how to protect himself before this and escape from the gun.
"Okay, good, you're right, it's me who is unlucky." Ye Yu softened his words, comforted the other party softly, and at the same time lowered a hand, pretending to inadvertently touch the pile of debris leaning behind him. Under the dustproof cloth, a cold and hard metal touch crossed his fingertips, and it seemed to be a freezer inside, and Ye Yu immediately had an idea in his heart.
"Actually...... I lied to you earlier. Ye Yu carefully observed Xu Yanwei's face and said slowly. Do you know why I was so sure that the two skeletons in the stone chamber were Xiao Yingying? Because I found something in them, maybe it has something to do with your Uncle Zheng. ”
"What is it? Take it out! When Xu Yanwei heard this, his face showed an eager look. Hurry up, don't play tricks on me! ”
"No, no, I'll give it to you." Ye Yu stared at Xu Yanwei, reached out and touched his waist, and in the next moment, Ye Yu grabbed the dust cloth behind him and threw it at Xu Yanwei's front door!
Xu Yanwei couldn't react, and was immediately blinded by the dust, so he could only reflexively shoot indiscriminately in front of him.
"Bang bang!"
The bullet hit a metal object and bounced in all directions, but at this time, Ye Yu moved, leaned over and went around the debris pile, and ran towards the door behind him!
Xu Yanwei grabbed the dust cloth covering his face and kept coughing, but found that the room was empty, only the wooden door in front of him was swaying back and forth. On the floor, there was a little red bloodstain, through the wooden door, all the way to the outside of the room.
"Hmph, you're dying." Xu Yanwei looked at the blood dripping from the ground, sneered and chased away.
