Chapter 75
This side of Temple Street.
Chu Yueqing folded the newspaper after reading it.
"What's so interesting about a murder case?"
Zhang Jiande took off the mouthpiece of his cigarette and joked, "Brother De's restaurant has just received a batch of very beautiful abalone. Why don't you come and have lunch together?"
Chu Yueqing stood up and smiled, "Brother De is treating, you must accept."
"Okay." Zhang Jiande called A Shanpo who was about to leave, "Shanpo, you come too."
"I won't come." A Shanpo waved her hand, squeezed her eyes and grinned and knocked her snow-white front teeth, "The new dentures cost a thousand yuan, don't let your teeth fall out before you even taste the abalone."
Zhang Jiande knew that A Shanpo was being polite.
In the past, Ashanpo often said that Brother Adek was so generous. He would definitely lose money if he invited friends to dinner when he opened the door for business.
She is older and is afraid of getting into trouble.
"I really don't want to go."
"Go, why don't you go!"
After hearing this, Zhang Jiande took Ashanpo's hand and headed to the restaurant, "The quality of the newly purchased dentures needs to be tested at critical moments. Besides, I don't just have abalone, but also other dishes."
The thin old lady was pulled to take two steps in a hurry, and shouted: "I won't go, I won't go."
Zhang Jiande ignored it and turned around and shouted, "Ningning, Dinner will start at twelve o'clock on time."
"0K, come here." Chu Yuening closed the stall and put away the business card on the glass cabinet, and saw a car driving into Temple Street.
At lunchtime, everyone in Temple Street had gone out to eat, making the place extremely empty, so the car drove all the way to the stall before stopping.
The car window slowly lowered, revealing Mu Kuan's serious face in the back seat. He was wearing a gray custom-made suit with a white handkerchief in his front pocket, and a small section of skin that was rubbed red under his sharp eyes.
It was very obvious.
Mu Xingwang and Yu Xinci were killed one after another, which was a huge blow to him.
"Miss Chu, there is something I want to talk to you about."
The girl didn't seem surprised by his arrival, and she said "oh" and didn't do anything else.
Mu Kuan looked sharply at the empty stall, which didn't even have basic tables and chairs, and he frowned.
"Miss Chu doesn't seem to be very good at entertaining guests."
Chu Yueqing had no intention of inviting anyone to sit down. She smiled faintly through the car window, "When it comes to entertaining guests, I believe no one is more proficient than Mr. Mu. It's really a lesson for you to invite people to the police station and try to frame them." She
didn't rush anyone away, which showed that she had a good temper.
"You have sharp teeth and sharp tongue." Mu Kuan was about to get out of the car, "Aren't you running a fortune-telling stall? I want to have my fortune told."
"Sorry."
Chu Yueqing turned around, took down the cardboard that was being used for business, and threw it into the stall car, "I have never dared to be interested in evil people's business."
Mu Kuan's face darkened a little.
"I have donated to charity for 20 consecutive years and helped many poor children. I don't understand what Miss Chu means."
He has been in politics since he entered the political arena and has held an important position. He was surrounded by flatterers, but he had never been treated so coldly.
"You don't understand?" Chu Yueqing tore off his disguise with one sentence, "If you didn't want to use your good reputation to enter politics and participate in elections, would you have done charity for twenty consecutive years?"
Mu Kuan was shocked by the clear eyes of the girl. He was
sweating profusely under his suit.
The Mu family was on the verge of bankruptcy in his early years. As the eldest son of the Mu family, he shouldered the responsibility of revitalizing the Mu family. He finally entered politics and he had to climb up no matter what.
He has been doing charity for decades, and even he thought he really loved doing charity.
But today, he was ruthlessly exposed by a little girl.
The bigger the news, the more people will pay attention to the Mu family. He cherishes his reputation, and the only exception is Mu Xingwang.
If someone finds out something, the Mu family will be completely finished. He will also retire from politics.
Mu Kuan cherishes his reputation and never wants to see such a thing.
That's why he wants to find Chu Yueqing. No matter how much money he spends, he wants to buy a way to calm the storm. There are also some considerations when finding a scapegoat, and Chu Yueqing meets all the requirements.
He doesn't expect the police station to solve the case quickly.
Only he knows that there are too many people who want to kill Mu Xingwang and want to kill him.
He doesn't want to find the real murderer, he just wants a reputation, even if the dead are his family members.
"I have never done anything bad."
"Tsk."
Chu Yueqing answered lazily, pushed the stall to the street, clapped his hands, and turned away.
He didn't give Mu Kuan an extra look.
The car window was closed.
It took a long time before he said a word.
"Let's go back to the Mu residence first."
Mu Kuan was not in a hurry. He took Chu Yueqing's information, which said that she had a sister who had been to school.
Hunters must hunt with patience, and there will always be a breakthrough.
On the way back to the Mu residence.
Mu Kuan replayed Chu Yueqing's last words over and over again in his mind.
He closed his eyes dejectedly.
Mu Xingwang had done a lot of bad things.
He helped clean up a lot of rotten stalls, but he was never the evil one.
He didn't lie.
Except a few years ago... a family found the Mu residence in person. They seemed to be surnamed Ying, and they had a daughter surnamed Ying.
When Mu Kuan went out, Ying Liang was arguing with the guards of the Mu residence, and the 16-year-old girl was lying in her mother's arms with scars all over her body.
During this time, Li Guizhi kept covering Ying Zhihe's head with her hands, fearing that it would affect her.
"You guys are coming again?" Mu Kuan was full of impatience when he saw the three people. It was this girl who reminded him all the time that Mu Xingwang had committed rape.
After the incident,
Ying Zhihe went to the police station to report it. Fortunately, Mu Xingwang reacted quickly and contacted Mu Kuan immediately after knowing that he had caused trouble and could not clean it up.
If such a thing were to get out, it would definitely affect Mu Kuan's career.
Mu Kuan did not hesitate, and used his influence in the political circle to find connections at the police station and finally resolved the matter.
Ying Liang was a cement worker at a construction site. His clothes were tattered, and he didn't even have time to take off his safety helmet at the construction site. When he heard that his daughter had suffered and was still being slandered, he rushed in with his wife and daughter.
"Mu Kuan! Your whole family is a bunch of beasts!" Ying Liang pushed the guard away, ran up the stairs and grabbed Mu Kuan's collar fiercely. His eyes were bloodshot from the agitation caused by what happened at home.
Mu Kuan raised his hand, still maintaining the demeanor of the Chief Secretary for Administration, and said with a smile, "Mr. Ying, both children are responsible for what happened. Young people are too impulsive..."
"Say it one more time! Say it one more time! It was obviously that beast who bullied others, how come my daughter is responsible!" Ying Liang was enraged and raised his fist to hit someone, but was grabbed tightly by the bodyguard who rushed over and pressed to the ground.
Ying Liang gritted his teeth: "We are all parents. Imagine what would happen to your daughter. What would happen to you if someone did that to you! Why don't you give us a way out!"
Mu Kuan patted his wrinkled shirt, "It's a pity that I don't have a daughter."
"You all talk about being a parent. I'm only doing this for my son. As long as he's safe and sound, no matter how big the mess he gets into, I'll support him. As for you."
Mu Kuan glanced at the shivering girl hiding in Li Guizhi's arms. Her snow-white arms exposed under her short sleeves were covered with blue finger marks, and her five fingers were clearly visible.
Mu Kuan didn't need to look closely to know whose work it was.
He withdrew his gaze, took out a check from his suit and threw it on Ying Liang's head, "If you want to blame someone, blame your daughter for being too beautiful. How many men would not be moved when they see her?"
Ying Liang was furious and was held down by the bodyguard and then knelt on the ground. He could not resist. Thinking of his wife and daughter behind him, he could only crawl on the ground and cry hoarsely.
"Take the money and buy some nice clothes for your daughter to dress her up. With your daughter's looks, it should be easy for her to marry an ordinary rich second generation."
"Get lost! We don't want your dirty money!" Li Guizhi let go of her daughter, ran up the stairs, picked up the check and threw it back.
Ying Zhihe did not hide anymore. Seeing her father being forced to kneel on the ground by the bodyguards, she went over and pushed the bodyguards, sobbing, "Dad, let's go back. We won't fight them. We can't beat them."
The bodyguards let go of Ying Liang.
The three of them just stood up.
Yu Xinci came back with Mu Xingwang. When she saw Ying Zhihe, she rushed up and slapped her, "Bitch! Cousin! You are such a vixen that you only know how to seduce men!"
"You have caused such a big trouble for Xingwang. If anything happens, I will never let you go!"
"You are talking nonsense!" Li Guizhi screamed and tried to pull Yu Xinci's hair but was stopped by the bodyguards in time.
"As expected, those brought up by little scumbags will become bigger scumbags. Even street women know to pull each other's hair when they fight." Yu Xinci gave an order, and the Ying family was thrown out of the Mu residence.
Yu Xinci looked at the ground where the three people had stood with disdain, and asked the servant to rinse it three times with tap water.
This matter had long been forgotten by Mu Kuan.
After all, the Ying family was too ordinary, and the lowest-class family in Hong Kong had no threat at all.
Now, because of Chu Yueqing's words, it was dug up again.
When Mu Kuan got out of the car and returned to the Mu residence, it was completely dark.
He asked the bodyguard to guard the door, and locked himself in the study, with the news playing on TV. He sat in the boss chair with a sad expression.
"Did I really do something wrong?"
"I didn't know at the time that Xingwang was not my biological son."
Tired.
Mu Kuan was about to sleep when a maid came in to bring him dinner. After dinner, he lay on the rocking chair and felt more and more sleepy.
Suddenly, his mind was startled and he realized something was wrong and tried hard to open his eyes.
"I'm going to kill you!" The maid standing next to him suddenly attacked and stabbed Mu Kuan in the abdomen with a knife.
"You..." Mu Kuan looked at the maid.
In the darkness, with the dim light of the TV, the maid with hatred on her face was Li Guizhi back then.
The knife stabbed into her body again and again, and blood splashed all over her body.
"You...you killed Xingwang and Vivina..." Mu Kuan gradually fell on the chair. Taking advantage of Li Guizhi's relaxation, he suddenly stood up and forcefully snatched the knife and stabbed it into Li Guizhi's abdomen.
Li Guizhi stepped back, and Mu Kuan threw himself forward.
"Mu Xingwang, you beast! How dare he touch my daughter! They deserve to die, and so do you! If it weren't for you, my daughter and husband would be alive and well!"
Li Guizhi will never forget her daughter's body covered in injuries.
"She was only 16 years old! She had a bright future, but you ruined it!"
Li Guizhi screamed, pulled out the knife, lifted Mu Kuan up with one foot, knelt on him, raised the knife with both hands, and stabbed it into Mu Kuan's chest.
Blood splashed all over her face.
Once. She was a housewife who was afraid of killing chickens.
Once, she was a weak mother who could only comfort her daughter's strength helplessly. It was not
until her daughter was forced to jump off the building that she learned to pick up a knife.
It was indeed she who killed Mu Xingwang. After their daughter died, they disappeared and spent the rest of their lives doing only one thing - keeping an eye on the Mu family.
When Mu Xingwang was fortune-telling, Li Guizhi was there.
When she saw that Mu Xingwang was not Mu Kuan's son, Li Guizhi felt happy in her heart. Mu Kuan did all kinds of evil things for Mu Xingwang, but ended up raising a son for nothing.
However, these retributions were not enough.
She wanted all the members of the Mu family to be buried with Zhihe.
She first teamed up with Ying Liang to kill the lone Mu Xingwang, but she was useless. She was soft-hearted at the beginning, which led to Mu Xingwang killing Ying Liang in the process of the struggle.
At the end of her life.
Ying Liang grabbed Li Guizhi's hand tightly, his eyes bloodshot, and asked her to continue.
No one from the Mu family could be spared.
Li Guizhi continued to stake out, and finally, she found an opportunity.
Yu Xinci went to the beauty salon and was knocked unconscious by her with chloroform, and then she was killed in the same way when she woke up.
Before Yu Xinci died, she saw the middle-aged woman patting her face with her bloodstained hands.
"Mrs. Mu, do you like this way of beating up women?"
Mu Kuan's breathing became increasingly difficult, and suddenly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
At least... at least, he died cleanly, without any stains.
He also contributed a lot to Hong Kong.
The citizens of Hong Kong would feel sorry for him, and the newspapers would even write eulogies for him.
Suddenly, the voice of a news anchor on TV interrupted Mu Kuan's fantasy.
"According to the information provided by the magazine, Mu Xingwang had many criminal cases, which were eventually wiped out by Secretary Mu's power. Secretary Mu is suspected of abusing his power and obstructing judicial justice. The government has set up a special task force to investigate. Because there is a lot of evidence, if Mu Kuan is convicted, he will be sentenced to more than 30 years in prison."
"There is news that Zhao Jun, a police officer from the Kowloon Police Station, is also suspected of colluding with Mu Kuan and has been suspended for investigation."
"Affected by this incident, the Hong Kong Police Station will launch a new round of corruption investigations after a lapse of ten years."
"Heh...heh...heh..." Mu Kuan opened his mouth and a lot of blood gushed out of his mouth. He stared at the TV with unwilling eyes, and his five fingers grabbed the ground again and again, and his nails were all broken and bleeding.
Finally.
He died with his eyes open.
Li Guizhi also fell down slowly, holding her abdomen, and panting as she crawled to the wall step by step.
In her last moments, she saw a slender figure coming in.
Li Guizhi asked weakly, "Are you...are you here to arrest me?"
"I...I know you. That day, I saw you get...get into the police car."
Chu Yueqing lowered her eyes and looked at her quietly, "I'll take you home."
"Take...take me home?" Li Guizhi's abdomen was bleeding more and more, and she used up all her strength, "Thank...thank you, I...I'm...a murderer, not...not...worthy of being taken home."
Li Guizhi looked out the window, the moonlight poured into the study, and suddenly, she pointed to the front, her eyes, which were gradually dimming as she was about to die, showed a satisfied smile.
"Zhi... Zhihe... and the master are here to pick me up..."
"It's... it's great, I'm not afraid of... hell..."
Chu Yueqing closed her eyes, the golden light of merit surrounded her, her left hand quickly rotated next to her right wrist, and she clasped her fingers together and silently chanted a mantra for salvation.
Having killed three people in a row and incurred a blood debt, Li Guizhi will have to reincarnate as a pig for three lifetimes. In every life, she will experience the fate of being slaughtered and die under the butcher's knife.
Is this the way of heaven?
What is the law of heaven?
She... really doesn't like this.
So.
Chu Yueqing closed her eyes.
Li Guizhi's soul floated out of the window and held hands with her daughter and husband.
Chu Yueqing looked up at the starry sky. The stars were all over the night sky, and the three wandering souls turned into golden lights and dissipated with the wind.
She
had to send Li Guizhi to the road of reincarnation.
