Chapter 65 Chapter 65 Death of the Su Family Couple
It is not good to talk about feudal superstitions openly. Captain Gong coughed lightly to remind Su Yun, and then asked: "Could it be that Madam Ji is hinting at the gift giver?"
Now that the Su family manor has been burned down, many things are gone, including the records of where these gifts went. If you want to know, it depends on whether the survivors are smart enough.
Su Yun shook his head blankly: "Then I don't know, because...how should I put it, the old man doesn't like all the children of our generation, all of them."
Afraid that Captain Gong wouldn't believe him, Su Yun made a big circle with his hands.
Captain Gong was very surprised. With her position, many of the cases she handled would involve wealthy people. It would be hard for her to dislike all the younger generations. There would always be one or two kids that she particularly liked and then she would focus on training them.
"Why do you have such a feeling, Director Su? And according to the current registration information, most of the Su family's assets are in the hands of Mr. Su Lin. Isn't he a very popular heir?" Captain Gong said, taking out Su Lin's photo.
Su Yun smiled sarcastically: "Being an heir doesn't mean you really like someone. From ancient times to the present, the relationship between an heir and the person in power is actually a life-and-death struggle. If an heir takes the position, it means the person in power is old and about to die. No one will like someone who means they are going to die."
Of course, this is only one of the reasons. There are also factors such as Su Lin cannot satisfy the old man and Su's father is not the old man's favorite child. In short, there is only one result: the old man does not like Su Lin, and he dislikes Su Yun and Su Yun even more.
After listening to Su Yun's explanation, Captain Gong felt that he could understand: "From what Director Su said, you can't touch or interfere with things that belong to your grandfather?"
Su Yun nodded very confidently: "Yes, the gifts at the birthday banquet were all handled by his own butler. He even didn't ask the old butler of the Su Family Manor to help him identify the body. This shows how partial and cautious the old man is."
With Su Yun's confession, Captain Gong became even more curious. Since the old man never had a good face towards his grandchildren, why did Mrs. Ji choose the particularly precious Jade Guanyin and give it to Su Yun?
There are many things that the police will not believe just because Su Yun said them without any evidence. However, after Captain Gong read the testimonies of other people, he found that they were basically the same. Before the old man of the Su family passed away, he was already the oldest elder in the Su family. He had five sons and six daughters.
Many elderly people in the Su family, as well as the wives who survived, clearly said that for some reason, the old man of the Su family did not like his son or his daughter, and he also disliked all of his grandchildren.
But he needed someone to support the Su family's huge business, so he finally chose Su's father and Su Lin.
In fact, after the selection, the old man of the Su family became even more unhappy. He seemed to think that Su Lin and Su's father were too poor. They were far inferior to the younger generation of the Su family, who were a family friend. However, the father and son were already a general selected from a group of dwarfs, and there were many things they were inferior to.
The police also contacted the old man’s lawyer at the time to confirm the will information.
According to the will, most of the family property was given to Su's father, and the rest was divided into many parts and distributed equally to other members of the Su family.
That's why the Jade Guanyin came into the hands of Madam Ji. Unfortunately, a lot of information was lost after the change of hands. It is impossible to investigate the information behind the Jade Guanyin, nor is it possible to interpret what Madam Ji hinted at.
Captain Gong said to Su Yun, "Director Su, do you mind sending the Jade Guanyin to the Public Security Bureau for inspection? We promise to take good care of it. Maybe some information was left inside by Madam Ji. After we scan and check it, we will notify you if there is any information, okay?"
From the description, one could tell how valuable the Jade Guanyin was. If it was damaged, the entire Public Security Bureau could not afford the compensation. If Su Yun was willing, the workmanship of the Jade Guanyin could even be put in a museum. They must be careful.
Su Yun had no objection. After all, it was a hot potato given by the Su family. It would be great if the police were willing to take over.
After getting permission, Captain Gong immediately arranged for cautious police officers. Captain Gong also applied for a car, hoping to bring the entire Jade Guanyin and the box back to the Public Security Bureau.
While waiting in the hall, Su Yun saw Su Lin suddenly walk in in a disheveled state. The nearby police officer hurried over to ask what was the matter, and he said that he was there to hang up the death certificate.
At this time, a police officer recognized Su Lin and hurriedly notified his superiors. Suddenly, the lobby of the Public Security Bureau became chaotic again. The director even came out and asked him with concern whether he was hurt or what had happened.
Amidst the numerous inquiries, Su Lin raised his eyes and saw Su Yun in the distance. He suddenly shouted, "Su Yun! I have something to talk to you about, Su Yun! I have something to tell you!"
The surrounding police officers all turned their heads and saw Su Yun standing there with a bewildered look on his face.
Su Lin asked to talk to Su Yun alone. The criminal police captain and Captain Gong came over. They needed more information and asked Su Lin if he minded if they wanted to record and tape the video. Su Lin was silent for a while and then shook his head and said he didn't mind.
So Su Yun was invited back to the interrogation room. This time the interrogation room was empty, with only her and Su Lin in it. However, they both knew that there were many police officers behind the one-way glass.
The two men sat face to face, just like they had done in the yard of the funeral home before, but the interrogation room at the Public Security Bureau was very simple, with nothing on the table, and it was very dim.
The heavy rain still did not stop. The windows of the interrogation room were very small. Su Yun had seen in horror games that the interrogation room was arranged like this to blur the sense of time of the person being interrogated. If the suspect was a serious criminal, they would soon become tired if they were asked the same questions over and over again in such an environment for a long time.
Especially in a dim environment with bright lighting, even trained people cannot endure it for a few days. Once a person's consciousness becomes blurred, he or she will subconsciously tell the truth.
Heavy rain could be seen outside the dim window, which showed that the rain was not small. Su Lin was soaked through. He rarely felt so miserable.
Su Yun gave Su Lin enough time to prepare herself mentally. There was no clock on the wall, so she calculated the time based on the light from the window. Sometimes the old method was very useful.
After sitting there for nearly forty minutes, Su Lin spoke in a hoarse voice: "Father is dead... We tried to save him all night but couldn't save him..."
Perhaps because he had seen too many deaths, or perhaps because he had already seen the result from Su Lin's divination, Su Yun did not show any surprise.
Maybe she was too calm. The policemen behind the glass all felt strange. After all, Su Yun had lived as the daughter of the Su family for twenty years. Was it really true that she had no feelings at all?
Su Lin noticed Su Yun's calm eyes. He suddenly moved closer to Su Yun and asked, "Did you figure it out that day?"
Most people wouldn't believe this. Su Yun glanced at the camera, took out copper coins from his waist bag, and laid them out one by one: "We are in the Public Security Bureau. Feudal superstition is not acceptable. But if you ask this, I can only say that the hexagrams observed from the sidelines are not that detailed. The result of the hexagrams is the destruction of the family. What do you want me to say?"
When you go out to ask someone to tell your fortune, people will more or less say something nice to you. Even if you are loveless, penniless and alone until the end of your life, since they have paid you, they will at least tell you that you were born free, right?
However, Su Yun had no idea how to explain the hexagram to Su Lin, and there was really not a single nice word he could say.
After the camera, a police officer asked the two captains: "Speaking of which, can this kind of feudal superstition be used as evidence?"
Captain Gong rolled his eyes at him and said, "What do you think?"
The police officer then fell silent in anger.
Su Lin couldn't understand the hexagrams. He didn't know how to do that. When he was a child, he saw his father and mother believe in the so-called master so much. It was difficult for him to have a good impression of this thing. It was because many people believed in Su Yun that he had the idea of giving it a try. Who would have thought that not everyone could accept the result of the prediction.
No wonder some people in ancient times made predictions but were regarded as bad omens, because people could not accept that their own results were so bad and tragic, so they could only blame the person who made the prediction, as if they would feel better if they labeled the other person as an unlucky person.
Seeing Su Lin's collapse, Su Yun quickly took back his copper coins and said, "I didn't tell anyone about it. I always thought I had miscalculated, but the result... was not up to me."
After standing there stiffly for a while, Su Lin lay down tiredly, saying in a dull voice: "I don't mean to blame you... I know it's not your fault..."
After a long while, Su Lin raised his head again: "I always feel that my father and mother seemed to know the result a long time ago, but they refused to tell me anything..."
That day, Su Lin begged his mother to explain the situation clearly so that he could find a solution. The Su family couldn't keep losing people like this. However, Madam Ji said firmly that Su Lin and Su Yun should change their surnames. For a family like theirs, changing surnames was a very serious matter, as it meant that their branch would be cut off.
What is the irreversible situation that made Mrs. Ji and Father Su decide not to even tell them about changing their surnames?
"It seems so, because Mrs. Ji suddenly asked Su Yun to send me a jade Guanyin yesterday afternoon. If you know what it means, you can tell the police." Su Yun didn't know what to say in the face of Su Lin's grief, and could only try to give him rational advice.
Su Lin shook his head: "I don't know either. As for my mother... never mind, I'll talk about my father first. I received a message from my father's assistant at three o'clock yesterday afternoon, asking me to rush to the hospital."
At about the same time, Mrs. Ji was at the Su family manor. She called her youngest daughter, gave her a huge box, and told Su Yun to take it to the funeral home alone, not caring about the heavy rain that was about to pour and the dangers a girl might encounter in a remote suburb.
On the other side of the hospital, Su's father called Su Lin over. When he arrived, Su's father was the only one in the huge VIP ward.
At that time, Su Lin was still wondering why no one was taking care of him. He wanted to ask where the nurse and the housekeeper assistant had gone. Su's father had always been in poor health, so why was he left alone?
However, Father Su looked a bit like he did when he was not sick and hospitalized yesterday. He was serious, indifferent, and in good spirits, but just a little less than normal.
Seeing Su Lin coming over, Su's father immediately said, "I asked them all to leave. I have something to say to you, but don't let others hear it."
Su Lin immediately walked over and listened respectfully: "Father, please speak."
"Recently, I've seen a lot of people wandering around. I once asked a fortune teller to tell my fortune, and he asked me how old your mother and I would live to, and whether it would be a happy funeral. The master said that fate can be changed, but no one knows whether it will be for better or worse." As Father Su spoke, his eyes suddenly looked at something next to him.
Noticing that his father's gaze had shifted, Su Lin looked over there, but saw nothing. Then he immediately understood what his father meant by "saw".
As the old saying goes, if a person can see ghosts, it means that he is about to die and has one foot in the underworld.
At that moment, Su Lin was very panicked. He grabbed Su's father's hand and shouted "Dad" loudly.
Then Father Su turned back disapprovingly: "Why are you panicking? Everyone has this day. The master said that if everything is left to nature, my result probably won't be too good. But if I do a lot of things to influence the future, it may not be good either."
Su Lin didn't like this so-called master in the first place. Now that he's missing, he still has to listen to him, so he became a little impatient: "Father! What time is it? Why do you still believe in that liar? You might as well believe Su Yun. Su Yun's parents are at least a little famous, right?"
However, Su's father, who always scolded Su Lin, did not scold him this time. He sighed and said, "Su Lin, if you don't like to hear it, I won't say it. However, you have to remember some things. First, you don't have to save me and your mother. We should bear the consequences.
"Second, tell Su Yun that the gift is very important and don't throw it away. Third, go to the Su family safe and make the account book public. Then, take you and your sister and leave Bincheng to live your own lives. Your identities and backgrounds are clean, so nothing will happen to you."
After he finished speaking, Su Lin didn't understand at all. He asked, "What do you mean, father? Even if you don't explain it to me clearly, you can at least tell me why you arranged it this way, right?"
Father Su leaned on the bed, looking at Su Lin with his cloudy eyes, and said, "Because I will suffer retribution. When I did things before, I always felt that it was not possible and nothing could take my life. Now I understand that death is a debt that is destined to be repaid."
Before Su Lin could ask again, the machine next to him screamed. A few seconds later, doctors and nurses suddenly rushed in and gave Su's father first aid, but it was to no avail. The nurse pushed Su Lin out of the ward and carried out rescue.
Because of the Su family's status and Su Lin's unwillingness to give up, the medical staff tried to rescue him all night, but finally announced that the rescue was ineffective.
After learning that his father had died, he was so stunned that he couldn't even stand up and was unable to get a death certificate.
It was not until dawn that Su Lin finally realized that his father was dead, and he was the only one by his side and in the hospital. This was not right. It must have been arranged by his father. He took out his cell phone in a daze, only to find that it was out of battery.
He borrowed a charging cable from the hospital to fully charge his phone before he received the message. Seeing the calls and various 99+ messages, he finally realized that his father and mother had known that there would be such an outcome. It was so close, but they could hold back until the last few hours to tell him.
He even only talked about the arrangements without explaining the cause and effect, and asked Su Lin to do things without any reason. If there were any consequences after he did it, he still had to bear them himself.
Perhaps because he had experienced this kind of thing so many times, Su Lin no longer knew how he should react. He couldn't cry, but he was very sad. His throat was blocked and he couldn't speak.
Based on the information, Su Lin came to the Public Security Bureau in a daze. When he saw Su Yun, he remembered what his father had told him.
In fact, among the three things explained, only the words given to Su Yun in the middle were strange. Why did he ask Su Yun not to throw away the gift?
"Just these three things, don't save them, tell you to cherish the gift, and... make public the dirty things the Su family has done over the years... Su Yun, tell me, what do they mean? Why? Am I not worthy of them telling the truth? I don't even know how to deal with what happens next!" Su Lin said while banging the table frantically, his eyes were bloodshot, but he didn't cry.
Seeing that he was pounding the table harder and harder, Su Yun raised his hand and held the table down. "Come on, stop going crazy. The truth you want should be in those account books. In those years, the Su family probably did a lot of evil things to maintain their status. What do you want them to say?"
Would you tell your children that you used all means to gain fame, wealth and status, and that you have taken at least seven or eight lives?
After speaking out, did the children become accomplices? Then can they still say that Su Lin and Su Yun have clean backgrounds?
It's impossible. If they want Su Lin and Su Yun to continue to live a good life in the future, they can't say a word and get them both out. Once something happens to the Su family, whether it's revenge by humans or ghosts, at least their lives can be saved.
Judging from the fire last night, those who had casualties were burned to death, while the ladies and children who had clean hands were rescued.
After listening to Su Yun's words, Su Lin once lay on the table without moving. He had been under too much stress in the past few days and could not accept anything for a while. It was normal for him to collapse.
Seeing that Su Lin had nothing else to say, Su Yun simply stood up and walked out, waiting in the corridor. After a while, the door of the next room opened and Captain Gong happened to come out. She was stunned to see Su Yun standing at the door.
"Captain Gong, the funeral home is quite far away, we should go get the Jade Guanyin." Su Yun reminded.
Captain Gong didn't expect Su Yun to be so calm, and couldn't help asking: "Don't you have anything to say about this matter? Besides, Mr. Su asked you to cherish the gift, maybe there really is some secret in it."
Su Yun waved his hand: "First, I have lost my feelings for the Su family a long time ago. Second, they repeatedly told me that it must be because the things inside are useful to me, but I really can't think of it. Let the police investigate, maybe we can get the answer sooner."
With Su Yun's insistence, the police quickly set off, and Lin Lang and Yan Gui followed in their car. Because of the rain, the road was heavily congested, and the speed was much slower than yesterday.
When they encountered a traffic light again, Captain Gong asked, "Director Su, there are no cameras or recorders here. Can you tell me why you have no feelings for the Su family? Of course, I just want to make a reference. If you don't want to say it because of personal feelings, that's fine too."
Su Yun knew that she would have to talk about this sooner or later, but she had never wanted to say it before, as if it were her fantasy. But now so many things have happened, with people in the Su family dying, her words are no longer important. No matter whether other people's words are new or not, they will not be spread too widely. When a person dies, it is like a light going out.
"The Su family's bad treatment to me is naturally one reason, but the most important reason is that they are superstitious. They believe that I have a good fate and can bless the Su family with twenty years of wealth and prosperity. So, they stole me away. Captain Gong, you can check the records of human trafficking reports from more than 20 years ago." Su Yun said helplessly.
Captain Gong was very surprised. The police had always thought that the baby was taken away by mistake, so they did not investigate. Ji Weitong and Su Yiling were well-known kind-hearted people, and the police had received help from them. However, Captain Gong was young and did not know about what had happened in the past, so he did not investigate in this regard.
After hearing this, Captain Gong immediately sent a message to the technicians to check. Then she heard Su Yun continue, "Captain Gong, you also know that my parents love me very much. In comparison, it seems that I went to the Su family to suffer. If the Su family hadn't secretly taken me away, I could have lived a good life with my parents since I was a child."
With today's technology, it's very quick to look up any information. As soon as Su Yun finished speaking, Captain Gong received many police reports, all from Ji Weitang and Su Yiling. In that era when there was no Internet and everything had to be recorded manually, they kept and searched for information over and over again, trying to find their daughter.
It turned out that their daughter was in Bincheng, but she had been taken away by a rich man, so they couldn't find her anywhere.
Later, when she found her daughter, she was afraid that she would fall from the clouds and would not be able to get used to the much worse life, so she did not dare to vent her anger on the Su family. After all, the Su family had given money to raise Su Yun.
After Captain Gong finished reading the records, she looked at Su Yun distressedly and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen."
Su Yun shook his head: "It doesn't matter, I don't care about these things anymore, but I think these things have nothing to do with the case, so I haven't said anything."
"Thank you Director Su for your understanding. However, according to their way of thinking and from a superstitious perspective, has Director Su ever thought about whether the Jade Guanyin may have other uses?" Captain Gong understood how superstitious the Su family was, and tried to get an analysis from Su Yun, a professional.
"I don't know. Although the people in the Su family are superstitious, they themselves don't understand things like Feng Shui and fortune-telling. So, rather than saying that the Jade Guanyin has any superstitious effect, it is better to say that as businessmen, they must have used their own methods before they died." Su Yun still felt that they wanted to use the Jade Guanyin to convey information, rather than superstition.
It was almost afternoon when they arrived at the funeral home. The Jade Guanyin was still placed in the reception room. The police took away the surveillance video from last night and carefully sealed the box and the Jade Guanyin into an evidence bag. Captain Gong said that the Jade Guanyin would be returned intact after a scan and inspection.
Su Yun said it didn’t matter, the message this thing conveyed was more important than its own value.
Afterwards, Captain Gong and his team rushed back without stopping to conduct the inspection.
There were all kinds of rumors on the Internet, and even the circle was shaken. What kind of concept is it to wipe out half of the Su family in one breath? It was comparable to the extermination of nine clans in ancient times.
When she was at the Public Security Bureau, she didn't hear from Su Yun. She took the time to post on her Moments saying that someone was at the Public Security Bureau recording a statement, which stopped the people who kept coming to ask questions.
After returning to the funeral home, the chef brought him food and soup. While eating, Su Yun called his acquaintances to explain the situation.
If you repeat something many times, perhaps you can discover some details. Su Yun told the story over and over again with this mentality, but not only did she not discover anything, even the listeners didn't hear anything. They just felt that the Su family was so unlucky and how could they encounter the heavenly fire.
Wu Yu, on the other hand, came up with a very strange idea: "From your description, the Jade Guanyin is a precious item. Apart from the buyer and seller, only the jade mine and the carver can know a little bit about it."
"The police will naturally not miss this kind of news. They will tell me when the time comes. The main thing is, I can't understand why Mrs. Ji gave me this thing?" Su Yun couldn't understand it no matter what.
Wu Yu hummed twice and said, "Generally speaking, when someone gives something to someone, it's either to seek revenge or to remind the recipient. I heard you relay what Brother Su Lin said, and it seems that the couple is more like reminding you of something. If they want revenge, they won't come after you. The hatred between you two is open."
If he were at the scene, Su Yun would roll his eyes at him and say, "Aren't you talking nonsense? Of course I understand that they have hidden information in the Jade Guanyin, or it is an image, but I just can't figure it out. I'm not in any danger and I don't have any enemies. Do they still need to remind me to stay healthy?"
After all, Wu Yu is an outsider. He can't figure out the questions that Su Yun and Su Lin can't figure out. Probably only someone who knows the old man of the Su family, Su's father and Mrs. Ji well can figure it out.
After hanging up the phone, Su Yun called a few people who cared about him, as well as those old friends of the Su family. The situation of the Su family was very important to them, and they could not just ignore it. Subsequent cooperation and exchanges were all problems and needed to be re-evaluated.
However, they couldn't contact Su Yun and Su Lin. They didn't know whether it was because they were too sad or because they were on the death list. When they heard that Su Yun was still responding to the message, they came to find him.
Su Yun was vague about the Su family's affairs. After all, she was no longer a member of the Su family. She was just at the scene when the fire was being put out. There must have been a lot of people who saw her carrying Su Yun around to help control the situation, so they asked her.
But now Su Lin is back and is still alive. He needs to make the decision himself, so Su Yun will not interfere.
The police were slow to report. There were so many bodies that they had to do DNA tests one by one, and the workload was extremely heavy. But two days later, Su Lin suddenly went crazy and announced a batch of bills. He also started a live broadcast, saying that his parents admitted that they had done many corrupt and illegal things over the years, and their deaths were retribution, so they decided to announce the truth and were willing to accept legal sanctions.
As soon as this live broadcast and account book came out, the Internet exploded. The economic network of every city is complicated. Some companies that seem to have nothing to do with each other may have a lot of cooperation with each other behind the scenes. If you say that your money is not clean, then it means that everyone on the Internet is not clean.
Publishing the account books is not only a trial for the Su family, but also involves the entire Bincheng company!
The computers at the tax bureau are about to smoke. The hot searches these days cannot be suppressed because of the published account books and the human life transactions behind them. Some people can't stop talking and even come to Su Yun to curse, saying that their Su family are all scumbags. It's okay to die, but they actually want to die together.
