Chapter 436 Who is the murderer?
Chapter 436 Who is the murderer?
Just as Su Huaijin led the people of the City of Sin to fight a decisive battle with the Temple, a major event also happened in Fengling City.
A body was found in the city, and it was one of the children who disappeared two days ago.
Early in the morning, a family opened the door and the servant saw a little boy lying quietly on the ground. At that time, the servant was shocked because the boy was shriveled all over, his skin was gray, and there was a bloody knife wound on his thin neck. It was obvious that he died from being bled to death.
The most important thing is that the servant knows this boy. If he is not their missing young master, then who could he be?
"Oh no, something happened!" The servant exclaimed and turned around and ran towards the door.
Soon, everyone in the family was alarmed. When the boy's parents saw their child lying soundlessly on the ground, they felt like the sky had fallen.
"Le'er!"
The woman screamed in grief. She rushed over and carefully held the child in her arms. She caressed the child's face distressedly and cried over and over again, "Le'er, Le'er... Open your eyes and look at your mother! Le'er... Wuuuuu..."
"fun……"
The man murmured, his face dazed, obviously unwilling to believe that what he saw was real. He staggered forward a few steps, and when the gray face became clearer and clearer, he finally couldn't hold on and fell down.
"Le'er!" The man was heartbroken, his heart ached, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"puff!"
"Yong'er!"
Seeing his son vomiting blood, the old master Xu couldn't sit still any longer. He shouted anxiously, "Quick, go find a doctor."
"Yes."
The servant responded and was about to leave when Xu Yong suddenly said, "No, there's no need to find a doctor. Let's... go to the Yun family to find the Yun family head."
Xu Yong slowly stood up. He raised his hand to wipe the blood from his mouth and said in a cold voice, "The head of the Yun family once promised to help us find the child, but now, Le'er has died tragically. The Yun family must give me an explanation."
"This……"
Patriarch Xu was a little hesitant. This matter had nothing to do with the Yun family. It was a favor for Patriarch Yun to agree to help them find the child, and it was his duty if he didn't agree. They couldn't blame the Yun family for not helping them find the child!
Besides, the Yun family is the head of the three great families, and is not someone that a small family like the Xu family can afford to offend.
"Yong'er, forget it! This matter cannot be blamed on the Yun family!" Patriarch Xu advised.
Xu Yong understood this logic, but his son died and he couldn't find the murderer, so he could only look for the Yun family.
Just when things were at a stalemate, a servant rushed in and said, "Master, good news!"
Hearing what the servant shouted, Xu Yong immediately became furious. He was worried that he couldn't find anyone to vent his anger on when the servant bumped into him.
"You bastard!" Xu Yong kicked the servant and shouted, "My son is dead, and you're telling me good news. Are you hoping for my son to die?"
The servant was kicked so hard that he couldn't get up for a long time. But perhaps he was too scared to death. Before Xu Yong could attack again, he hurriedly said in a trembling voice: "Master... Master, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that at all. The good news I'm telling you is... that the murderer who killed the young master has been found."
Hearing this, Xu Yong paused his kick at the servant. He put his foot down, stared at the servant with a gloomy face, and asked in a cold voice, "What did you say? The murderer has been found? Who is it? Who killed my son?"
“Yes… yes…” The servant took a deep breath and said loudly, “It’s the eldest daughter of the Yun family, Yun Ruopiao.”
what? !
Everyone in the Xu family was stunned by the news. Xu Yong was also taken aback. Then he shook his head and said affirmatively, "This is impossible! The murderer can't possibly be Miss Yun!"
"But..." The servant hesitated for a moment, then said, "But that's what people outside are saying. They say that all the people who have disappeared in the city in the past few days were abducted by Miss Yun."
"Humph!" Xu Yong snorted coldly, "Words are useless. What evidence do they have to prove that Miss Yun did it?"
"I heard..." The servant glanced at Xu Yong cautiously and whispered, "I heard that after Miss Li disappeared, Patriarch Li found Miss Yun's hairpin in Miss Li's room."
"Oh! What can a hairpin prove?" Xu Yong didn't care. "Who can prove that the hairpin is definitely Miss Yun's? Maybe someone else has a hairpin exactly like Miss Yun's!"
"But, Patriarch Wang said he saw Miss Yun buy that hairpin at Linlang Pavilion a few days ago. Many people saw it at the time, and..." The servant paused and continued, "And Miss Li's maid also said that Miss Yun had never been to the Li family and had never seen that hairpin before Miss Li disappeared."
"So, everyone suspects that Miss Yun abducted Miss Li, and many of the disappearances in Fengling City are related to the Yun family."
This……
Xu Yong hesitated. He didn't want to believe that the disappearances in Fengling City were related to Yun Ruopiao, but it was well known that the things in Linlang Pavilion were unique and no one could imitate them.
Could it be... that it was really done by Miss Yun?
Just when Xu Yong was hesitating, his wife Qin Miao suddenly stood up with the child in her arms and walked out the door.
Seeing this, Xu Yong quickly grabbed his wife's arm and asked, "Madam, where are you going?"
Qin Miao raised her head, looked at her husband with a cold gaze, and said in a cold voice: "Where are you going? You actually asked me where I'm going?"
"Our son is dead, so naturally I have to find the murderer and avenge his life."
Hearing this, Xu Yong was stunned at first. When he realized that his wife was talking about Yun Ruopiao, he subconsciously advised: "Madam, please calm down first. We have no evidence to prove that Miss Yun is the murderer. Besides, I believe Yun..."
"Xu Yong!"
Before Xu Yong could finish, Qin Miao interrupted him loudly. She angrily accused him, "Xu Yong, Le'er is your biological son. He's dead. At this time, are you still going to defend Yun Ruopiao, the murderer?"
"I'm not, I don't want to protect..."
Xu Yong wanted to explain, but he was interrupted by Qin Miao again.
"Enough!" Qin Miao shouted angrily. She looked at Xu Yong with disappointment and said sarcastically, "I know you like Miss Yun, and I never thought of competing with her. But I always thought that we have been married for many years and we have a son. There must be a place for me and Le'er in your heart. But now it seems that I was expecting too much. Compared with Miss Yun, we are nothing."
"Xu Yong, thank you for making me realize the reality and for making me lose miserably." Qin Miao smiled bitterly, a tear sliding down the corner of her eye. "After I avenge Le'er, we will divorce!"
After saying that, Qin Miao didn't look at Xu Yong again, and strode away with her son in her arms.
