Chapter 66 Chapter 66 Who proposed it first?
When Su Yun received the first insulting message, he felt strange. Why did he suddenly insult others? Couldn't he just talk it out?
It was not until more and more people came to curse her, with Su Lin's name mixed in, that Su Yun realized that they had changed their phone numbers to vent their anger, just to make themselves feel better.
The matter of publishing the account book was indeed a bit outrageous. Su Yun had not expected that the Su couple would go crazy at the last moment and ask Su Lin to publish it. It was impossible for them not to have thought of what the consequences would be.
Compared to what benefits this incident would bring to the Su family, Su Yun felt that it was more like they knew they were going to die and simply dragged everyone down with them.
The benefits of doing bad things are shared by everyone, why should the Su family be the only one to pay the price with their lives?
What's more, neither of you is clean. Your retribution has not come yet, but the Su family's retribution has arrived first. So let the Su family add fuel to your fire.
Most people would not dare to do this for fear of bringing harm to their families, but the fire at the Su family's home seemed to be within the couple's expectations, which meant that the survivors would be protected by the police. They only wanted to protect Su Lin and Su Yun, so they would be announced by the two of them, who happened to be very important witnesses with clean backgrounds.
With the police's protection, nothing will happen to them, and they can also take this opportunity to clear their background. When the dust settles, they can follow the path paved by their parents to leave the Su family and Bincheng.
Even though this means that their property will be greatly reduced, Su Lin and Su Yun are just two people. Su Lin can take care of himself and his sister, go to a smaller city, earn three to five million a year, stay out of the spotlight, and live a stable life.
Moreover, Madam Ji had also thought of a way out for them. The Su family's assets were too obvious, and they could change their names after they left. In short, now that things had come to this, staying alive was the most important thing.
It rained heavily for three whole days. Su Yun had been following the news on the Internet and thinking about the matter of the Jade Guanyin.
The next day after the rain stopped, Captain Gong returned the Jade Guanyin and told Su Yun, "We have scanned it carefully and applied for the most advanced machine available. We have scanned every detail of the carving, but there is no hidden information."
The Jade Guanyin was placed on the table, just as it was when it was delivered.
Su Yun reached out and touched the bottle, then sighed, "Forget it. It might really be a message with some symbolic meaning. There's nothing we can do if we can't decipher it."
Captain Gong said: "In fact, the symbolic meaning is easier to analyze. According to the experts, she believes that most gifts should be analyzed from the structure and background of the gift itself, just like famous paintings and antiques. This jade Guanyin is very strange. Its form and shape are not what the current Guanyin looks like."
"What do you mean?" Su Yun looked at Captain Gong in surprise.
"After scanning, we made a two-dimensional map and compared it with the existing Guanyin images, including statues and some fan paintings, and found that there was no overlap, not even similar movements. Later, we looked for text works, but still couldn't find a corresponding one. So we suspect that when this jade Guanyin was made, an action that would not be repeated was specially chosen." Captain Gong explained slowly.
There are so many Guanyin statues throughout history, and it is not easy to make them completely inconsistent, unless the person involved has a better understanding of the corresponding culture, so as to avoid them one by one.
This requirement was definitely not deliberately chosen by the sculptor, because Guanyin does not have copyright like other works. Generally speaking, most people make statues of Guanyin and Buddha to ward off evil spirits and pray for blessings, and they feel that existing images are more effective.
The specific avoidance is naturally the request of a single owner.
Su Yun thought of this and asked, "If that's the case, then we should go find the sculptor. Have you found one?"
Captain Gong shook his head helplessly: "No, we even contacted many large jade markets in China, and they all said that it is impossible for such a large and beautiful jade to have no news at all, even if some big shot bought it, they would have some news, so they are more inclined to believe that this piece of jade was a private collection when it was still covered with stone."
The person who could hide such a large piece of jade might be a sculptor himself, or have a private sculptor, which would make it almost impossible to find. If the Su family manor had not been burned down and there was a registered list, it might still be found. It is too difficult to find it now.
"What about the butler? He has a good memory. Although he is not the old man's confidant, he helped deal with almost all matters in the manor after the old man passed away. It's impossible that he didn't know, right?" Su Yun thought of the old butler.
Captain Gong still shook his head: "He doesn't know. He said that before the old man of the Su family passed away, he asked the lawyer to meet with several sons separately. After some of the items were divided, he took over the remaining items. So in fact, only the old man and your adoptive parents know what happened to this Jade Guanyin."
All possible ways to obtain the information indirectly were blocked. The Su couple's brains suddenly suddenly brightened up before they died. In other words, except Su Yun, no one else could know the answer to the information contained in the Jade Guanyin. If Su Yun himself couldn't figure it out, no one would know what they meant from then on.
After informing Captain Gong of the information they had found, she prepared to go back. The case was too big and she was very busy. She also asked Su Yun to think hard about it, and if he came up with anything useful, he should remember to contact the police.
After seeing the police off, Su Yun returned to the reception room. She looked around again and again, but still felt that there was nothing special.
Su Yun called other employees and asked, "Can you think about it? What is the meaning of this thing?"
Sexy ghost: "Beautiful."
Ghost Bride: "It looks good."
Rice wine: "Big one."
Master Chef: “It’s precious.”
Second Master: "Baby."
Ah Xiu: “An ornamental item.”
Lin Lang: "Waste your hand."
After the last comment, everyone looked over. Seeing that they didn't understand, Lin Lang explained, "I've carved all the urns recently. Based on my experience, if you want to carve something like this without using magic, it would take more than a year."
Su Yun covered his head, wondering whether he should find a strategist to be his military advisor. These were a bunch of useless people who only knew how to eat.
The item was extremely precious and had special meaning. After much hesitation, Su Yun decided to move it to her room. If she saw it from time to time, she might remember it.
As it got closer to the end of March, Su Yun became inexplicably nervous because his parents had said they would be back in March or April, but he could not get in touch with them.
If they had come back as planned, they should have prepared to buy tickets, buy souvenirs, and then contact Su Yun so that they would not be out of touch all the time.
I have been waiting at the funeral home. As the police investigate the Su family's affairs, although there is no result yet, the online enthusiasm has gradually decreased. It has been seven days, and netizens' enthusiasm usually only lasts seven days. After all, people cannot stay in a state of excitement all the time and need rest.
They became excited again, it must be time for new news.
Su Yun has not received any new news in the past few days. Su Lin and Su Yun's house was burned down. They cooperated with the police investigation and temporarily lived in an unknown place. Su Lin would film some interviews and release them when necessary.
Even if they don't have any news, other people in the circle do. After all, when the situation is so serious, it is impossible for the higher-ups to just ignore it. Not to mention the huge size of the Su family, the number of deaths alone is enough for the mayor to admit his mistake.
Wu Jin would tell Su Yun whenever he got any new information. He felt that Su Yun was also involved in this matter. No one was touching her now because she and her parents were notorious and no one dared to provoke them easily. As for the police, they did not disturb them because they hoped that she could really remember something.
But Wu Jin was different. He felt that any problem should be solved after fully understanding all the conditions, so he kept conveying information.
The autopsy has been completed. The hospital also sent Su's father's body to the public security bureau for another autopsy. It was found that Su's father indeed died of complications from old age, cerebral thrombosis and myocardial infarction. He died after the hospital's rescue efforts were ineffective. All procedures were compliant and legal.
As for the identification of the burned bodies, after various DNA tests, the bodies were identified. It helped a lot to find out that the children were not in trouble. With genetic matching, as long as there was no misconduct, it could be tested.
Su Yun and Su Lin's DNA test identified Mrs. Ji, who had been burned beyond recognition. The forensic doctor said that all the dead members of the Su family had no signs of being tied up or struggling on their bodies, and there were a lot of ashes in their lungs and trachea, which were obvious symptoms of death from a fire.
But it was strange that there was no struggle. Without considering the evidence and the case, the forensic doctor believed that they must have been unconscious, and then the fire broke out, and they died in their sleep.
The police were very suspicious because this situation was impossible, unless the person was drugged or knocked unconscious. However, according to the testimony of other survivors, everyone was still active before the fire. Would a person who was awake and active immediately fall asleep and wait for death because of a fire?
In particular, the old housekeeper and the servants all said that Madam Ji was in the greenhouse that day. They went to deliver tea, blankets and food, and they only left when it was dinner time and Madam Ji wanted to drink soup.
It is normal for confessions to be different from reality, and the police's job is to match the truth with the testimony.
After hearing this, Su Yun knew that someone was seeking revenge. If no special means were used, they would not have been burned to death in the manor. It was strange that Su's father and Madam Ji knew that they were going to die. Did Zhao Tuhu tell them?
Considering Zhao Tuhu's ability, it is indeed possible for him to tell them. Unfortunately, Su Lin did not let Su's father finish speaking, otherwise Su's father might tell them whether it was Master Ziyuan who gave them the prophecy or Zhao Tuhu who said it.
All the companies in Bincheng that have cooperated with the Su family have been keeping a low profile recently, fearing that they will be dragged down by the Su family. Who knows if the Su family will suddenly go crazy or hide the account books that have not been made public?
There are countless taxes to be paid behind the accounts that have been checked, and it’s all money.
In the first few days, Su Yun was still being cursed anonymously. On March 23, when Su Yun was anxiously waiting for a call from his parents, Yan Gui suddenly came in with a knife and said, "Director, someone has hired someone to kill you."
The knife was obviously a controlled knife that was not allowed to circulate in China. Su Yun threw his phone on the table and asked, "Where is the person?"
"He was beaten up and thrown back, and the knife was left as a trophy. When he goes back to report, I guess no one will dare to send him again." The sexy ghost said with a smile.
In the entire funeral home, the only person who could be considered a human being was Lin Lang. Any ordinary killer who came here would be beaten to death before even entering the funeral home. Even if they got in, they might not be able to leave and would starve to death here.
Su Yun was in a bad mood and didn't bother to care: "Next time someone comes, just break their legs and hand them over to the police. If you want to eat this meal, you must be prepared to eat peanuts. Don't hold back."
The ghost nodded: "I see, Director, are you still unable to contact the old director and the others?"
Hearing this, Su Yun lay down on the recliner and shook his head: "No, there is no news, even the voice transmission was not answered, where on earth are they going? Even if they went to the ground, it shouldn't take so long, right?"
He couldn't get in touch with us, and there was a storm outside, which made Su Yun feel overwhelmed.
In the evening, Su Yun called Ji Weitong and Su Yiling, but there was still no answer. It was as if these two people had never been there. It was very dangerous to go underground. Although Su Yun knew that their abilities were not enough to be buried underground, he was always worried that they might get into an accident.
Only the bedside lamp was on in the room, and the rest of the huge room was very dark. Su Yun saw the faintly reflective Jade Guanyin in her peripheral vision, so she simply looked up. It was her first time looking at the Jade Guanyin, and she almost memorized many details.
Every inch of the design of the Jade Guanyin is lifelike, as if it were alive.
Su Yun stared for a long time, and suddenly remembered something: "Whose idea was it to let me exchange fate with Su Yun?"
In the past, Mr. Ziyuan always said that he only wanted Su Yun's body, because it was what he had carefully prepared for many years. He had been paying attention to Su Yun since she was born. Even though she was a girl, it didn't matter. As long as she could live forever, what difference did it make whether she was a boy or a girl?
In the past, all celestial beings were female, in order to nourish the heaven and earth and be the mother of the heaven and earth. Later, with the development of heaven, earth and man, males were added. Many gods who were supposed to be female were changed to males, but in fact, their original bodies were still females.
Therefore, Mr. Ziyuan did not care too much about the gender of the celestial being he cultivated.
The two sides exchanged, Master Ziyuan wanted the body, and the Su family wanted the fate. Since Su Yun was going to die, he would wait for death, and then transfer the extremely lucky fate to Su Yun, so that Su Yun could continue to protect the Su family.
But at the beginning, the Su family accepted the statement that Su Yun would protect the Su family for twenty years, and they would find a way after Su Yun died? Or wait for Master Ziyuan to come up with another way to maintain the family.
If that’s the case, where did the idea of having the two daughters exchange their fates come from?
It is true that the Su family is greedy, but the question is who first came up with this idea?
It was impossible for that couple to just give a Jade Guanyin statue casually. She had thought about all the things related to Su Yun, but this matter had always been vague. Did they mean that the old man had the final say?
It's not surprising that the old man made this decision. He agreed with Su's father's act of stealing his daughter, but he looked down on all the younger generations.
But how did the old man come up with the idea of letting Su Yun exchange his fate?
Because of this jade Guanyin?
Su Yun thought about this and shook his head: "No, it's not because of the Jade Guanyin, it's because of the person who sent the Jade Guanyin. But this is the same thing again. We don't even know who sent the Jade Guanyin..."
The next day, Su Yun contacted Captain Gong with the question, saying that she had an idea, but it might not be able to be used as evidence, and hoped to meet with Su Lin.
Captain Gong paused, then realized that it was a feudal superstition. It was not surprising that wealthy families believed in this, but it was really difficult to use it as evidence.
"It's a good thing to have ideas. I'll arrange it immediately and a car will pick you up later." Captain Gong agreed without much hesitation. It is one thing if it cannot be used as evidence, but whether the truth can be found is another.
Su Yun told her in advance that no one in the Su family was safe recently, and she had to bring two people with her, both of whom were seen by the police, that is, two employees.
We just brought more people for our own safety. Captain Gong said it was no problem and the car could accommodate everyone.
I don't know how many things need to be arranged. Captain Gong didn't arrive until noon. Su Yun saw that it was already noon and wanted to keep them for lunch. However, Captain Gong said no, it was too late. If they wanted to see Su Lin and Su Yun, they had to set off immediately.
So the chef immediately changed it into bento, and his action was very quick. When getting in the car, Su Yun distributed some to the police officers, saying that they were rice balls and juice, and it was a treat and would not be considered a bribe.
However, Captain Gong still refused, saying that he wanted Su Yun to take them with him. They might have to eat dinner in the future and they would definitely not be able to get used to the food there, so it would be better for them to bring their own rice balls.
Su Yun was stunned: "Where is it?"
"Prison." Captain Gong said concisely.
"Ah? They both committed a crime?" Su Yun felt that the rice ball in her hand suddenly lost its flavor. If those two went to jail, would she have to go to jail sooner or later too?
Captain Gong looked at Su Yun in the rearview mirror and smiled: "They were not arrested. We considered it comprehensively and decided that this was the safest place. So we had to let them stay there temporarily, at least until the storm has passed. Otherwise, the account book would be enough to kill them eight hundred times."
The Su family is in chaos. Without the support of the Su family, Su Lin and Su Yun might be assassinated as soon as they walked out of the Public Security Bureau.
The car drove for a long time. Su Yun could still recognize the road for the first hour, but he had no idea where it was later. If he didn't know that Captain Gong and his men were indeed police officers, Su Yun would have suspected that he had gotten on a car to northern Myanmar.
They drove until four in the afternoon and arrived at a very large lake. Su Yun had lived in Bincheng for so many years but had no idea there was a lake nearby.
Captain Gong asked them to get out of the car and walk to the shore. Someone drove a speedboat over, and the police officer driving behind had turned the car around and left.
After getting on the speedboat, they headed towards the island in the middle of the lake. When they got close to the island, Su Yun saw the high wall in the distance. It was estimated to be ten meters high, and it would be unlikely for an ordinary person to climb over it.
When we got off the speedboat at the island ferry, Captain Gong held various documents for inspection at the entrance. After everyone had checked the documents, she turned around and said, "Please hand in your ID and personal belongings and have them scanned. If there are no problems, you can go in."
When they heard that they had to scan items, Su Yun and the other two burst into dry laughter.
It's hard for criminal police not to be familiar with this awkward smile. Captain Gong was stunned: "You guys are not really taking any prohibited items out, are you?"
Su Yun touched his ear, raised his hand and handed over his folding fan and Qiankun bag: "No, how could it be? It's just that it might be... a little, a little... special."
Normally when they go out, Lin Lang and Yan Gui only carry Qiankun bags. Seeing that Su Yun has handed it in, they also handed it in, and remembered to take out their ID cards.
When she scanned the area during the examination, it was indeed ringing all the time. Su Yun closed her eyes and regretted it. If she had known it was so strict, she would not have come. She said it would have been better to just call directly.
While he was hesitating about how to explain, Captain Gong returned the things to them, and Su Yun was very surprised.
Captain Gong smiled and said, "The country has collected this kind of stuff many times. If there is nothing special in it, we will just turn a blind eye."
Su Yun took the folding fan and Qiankun bag and breathed a sigh of relief: "Thanks to the development of the country."
After entering, Su Yun discovered that this was not just a prison. The entrance was more like a living area, but it was not as prosperous as the outside. There were still markets and residential buildings.
Captain Gong explained that it was inconvenient to get in and out, so when planning it that year, a piece of land was specially reserved as a living area for prison guards to facilitate their lives. However, even so, the houses here are not fully occupied, so the empty houses can be applied to be used as protection areas to allow important people to temporarily come in and hide.
When you leave later, you have to sign a confidentiality agreement to ensure that what happens here will not be disclosed.
Su Yun and the others will also have to sign later, there can be no exceptions.
The houses here were built in a very winding way. After Su Yun walked for a while, he realized that the designer must be very knowledgeable about Feng Shui. He used Qimen Dunjia to build a very special building, just like a funeral home. If you don't understand the principle, you will get lost once you come in.
Captain Gong didn't seem to be familiar with this place, but she had her own way of solving puzzles. She led Su Yun and the other three step by step and found the corresponding residential building before dark. They went up to the fifth floor, rang the doorbell, and the door opened quickly. It was Su Yun.
Seeing them coming, Su Yun was stunned for a moment: "Captain Gong, and Su Yun?"
Su Yun nodded: "I'm here to find your brother. Of course, you can listen too. Maybe you remember something."
After experiencing such an incident, Su Yun was much more depressed. She nodded sullenly and welcomed everyone in. Captain Gong did not go in immediately, but went to ring the bell at the opposite door. Then two policemen came out with notebooks and cameras. It seemed that they would monitor the content of the conversation in real time.
It was night time, and the prison provided a big pot of meals. Su Lin and Su Yun were not used to it, but neither of them knew how to cook, so they had to force themselves to eat. Su Lin had just come back from getting the meal and was distributing it in the kitchen.
Suddenly someone came, and Su Lin came out after washing his hands, not having time to eat.
After not seeing Su Lin for more than ten days, he looked much older, with a lot of white hair. Excessive grief and sorrow, coupled with living in fear in prison, fearing that one day the prison would fail to stop the killer and he would be assassinated, it was hard not to have white hair.
Among the three, only Su Yun remained as graceful as ever, and it seemed that so many things could not affect her at all.
Su Lin sat on the sofa next to Su Yun and smiled bitterly: "Su Yun, you are really calm. Even after something like this happened, you can still remain calm."
"I run a funeral home. Do you know how many deaths were caused by natural causes in the short one year since I took over?" Su Yun asked with a chuckle, and then answered himself, "Less than 50%. There are too many. They died more miserably than the Su family. I've seen too much. How can you make me excited?"
It is like this with any stimulus. If you accept it over and over again, you will become numb. The first time you see a dead person, you will find it scary. If you look at it for one more time, you will feel like you can vomit. But after seeing it many times, you can even study what is different about these dead people.
Su Lin was silent for a while. After a while, he asked, "Why did your parents choose this job? And let you inherit it? Such a bad thing."
Faced with such a question, even Captain Gong was very curious. After all, the death business is unlucky for most people. Since it is an industry left to his daughter, why would he choose a funeral home? It is right to do business, right?
"To be frank, it's really easy to make money from the dead. Besides the funeral home, my parents left me a lot of money. If I wanted, I could use that money and live my life as a young lady again. But I didn't, because after I returned to them, I saw the boundary between life and death, and I understood that death is not that scary." Su Yun explained with a smile.
For Su Yun, working in a funeral home means he feels sad and sighs when he sees the stories of the deceased, but he does not feel disgusted.
If it weren't for this job, which calmed her temperament, she might not have cared about the Su family's affairs. It's just that after seeing so much, she couldn't help but have a compassionate perspective.
Human death is so easy. Sometimes, people die just by a bump, delayed treatment, or the wrong direction during examination.
Faced with such an easy death, it was hard for Su Yun to forget the funny and sad feeling.
After listening to this, Su Lin laughed briefly: "In itself, it is because you are strong inside that you can withstand many accidents. Yunyun and I can't accept it. We still can't accept it today, and we don't understand why they made that choice. You came to me, have you thought of the answer?"
After saying that, even Su Yun looked at Su Yun expectantly, hoping to know the truth and understand why her parents did that. Although knowing the answer would not change the situation where they had to hide, maybe it would make her feel better?
Looking at the expectant eyes of the two, Su Yun shook his head: "No, I just suddenly remembered something, but it has nothing to do with the burning of the Su family manor."
"You have always been honest. Since it doesn't matter, then it should be okay. Hey, then you came here this time for the Jade Guanyin?" Su Lin immediately understood. Among the three last words of Su's father, only this one was given to Su Yun alone. It was very strange.
Because in the past twenty years, Su's father and Mrs. Ji had never given Su Yun a good look. They coveted Su Yun's fate, but were afraid of her existence.
Su Yun nodded slightly: "Yes, I suddenly remembered one thing. Mr. Su and Mrs. Ji, since they told you about my identity, did they tell you when they wanted me to exchange my fate with Su Yun?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present except the employees of the funeral home was stunned. The living room fell into silence, so quiet that even the conversation of the prison guards outside could be heard.
After a long while, Su Yun suddenly came back to her senses: "I didn't steal your fate!"
"I didn't say you stole. If you could have stolen, the Su family manor wouldn't have been burned down. You two should think carefully about who came up with this idea?" Su Yun retorted angrily.
Su Yun was criticized. She touched her head in grievance, but her face was confused and she probably had forgotten it long ago.
