Chapter 107: Epilogue
"Uncle Lu Tai, this is your motive for committing the murder," Yin Chuan's words brought Lu Tai's thoughts back to a few months ago. "You were jealous of the decision made by the head of the Lu family. Even when passing on the family line to the three daughters, you never considered Lu Enting. So, in a fit of rage, you murdered the three young ladies. Oh, right, let me correct you, you were not only 'in a fit of rage', you also did this because of this-"
Yin Chuan lifted Lu Tai's half-untied leggings, revealing what was inside for everyone to see. It was a darkened piece of brown paper, clearly different from the rest of the skin on his calf.
"What is this?" Du Yunzhang asked in confusion.
"This is a piece of human skin, a piece of skin that was originally on Lu Jiye's body!"
As soon as Yin Chuan said this, everyone present was shocked.
"This... could this be..." Du Yunzhang seemed to understand something.
"Yes, this is the skin peeled from Lü Jiye's lost left calf. It's inscribed with the three key techniques he painfully tattooed on his leg to hide it from others. After killing him, Lü Tai discovered the message tattooed on his leg, so he cut the skin off and attached it to his own leg. But since a skinned calf would surely arouse suspicion, he simply threw it away. So, Lü Tai, with the irrefutable evidence right here, do you still want to deny it?"
Lu Changhua took a quick step forward and took a closer look. Sure enough, the words embroidered on it were exactly the essence of the three unique skills. Although it was brief, it was enough to encompass the essence of the "Controlling Three Dragons" skill.
"Lü Tai! You..." Lü Changhua, disregarding the age difference, grabbed Lü Tai by the collar and glared at him angrily, "They are all your grandchildren, and Jiye is so smart. How could you have the heart to do that to them?"
Lu Tai did not struggle, nor did he scream "Ah...ah...", he just half-opened his eyes, with a fierce and indifferent light in his pupils, as if saying: You, Lu Changhua, treat Enting and me as nothing, all this is your own fault!
Lu Enting couldn't help but shout angrily, "Lu Changhua! My father has seen everything you've done over the years. Why do you think he endures it all during the day, but disguises himself as Feng Shijiu at night to collect rare items from wealthy families in Linqing? Isn't it just to leave our Lu family with something to survive in the future? Look at your three disappointing daughters, none of them have good intentions! You still act like this, and I wonder why our grandfather was so determined to pass on the Lu family's legacy to you?"
His words left Lu Changhua speechless.
"Alright, Master Lu, I've already solved all the murders in your Lu family. Now it's time for you to talk about that organization, right?"
"I... I have nothing to say!" Lu Changhua threw Lu Tai to the ground and replied with a gloomy face.
"No comment? Don't you want to reconcile with Madam Yan? She's been waiting for you for over ten years!"
"I don't understand what you are talking about. What Madam Yan? She has been dead for so long. Could it be that she has been reborn?" Lu Changhua refused to admit it, thinking that this would leave Yin Chuan speechless.
Yin Chuan seemed to be prepared. He glanced at Du Yunzhang, and Du Yunzhang gave him a look that showed everything was under control.
"Really? Then we have to let another protagonist take the stage." Yin Chuan clapped his hands twice outside.
"Hey! Why are you acting like an actor?" Suddenly, Second Uncle Gu Yan said, "If you clap your hands, does that mean someone has to come out and cooperate with you?"
Upon hearing Gu Yan's words, Yin Chuan suddenly felt that something was wrong! Originally, it was planned that Ou Ye Linlang should appear at this time to pick up Madam Yan, whom Du Yunzhang had brought from Xingquan Temple, but Gu Yan, who was under hypnosis, suddenly broke free from the control of the Soul Separation Technique, and what happened next was something he had never expected.
"Mr. Liu, oh no, your last name should be Yin! Your wishful thinking has failed. Miss Lin, your partner, Ou Ye Linlang, has been invited to our house!" The sudden words from outside the door gave Yin Chuan a chill. He looked outside and saw a middle-aged man in elegant clothes, portly and staggering in the rain, accompanied by a slender young woman holding an umbrella for him. Yin Chuan recognized him immediately. Wasn't this the military supervisor Wan from the pigtail army? The young woman beside him was Ah Mei, a maid from the Tang family in Luyuan Village.
"Why are you here? What did you do to Linlang?" Yin Chuan stormed out of the house.
"Oh, that's not me. I just told you the news. Miss Linlang agreed to go with Yu Zhenzhu herself."
"Where is Yu Zhenzhu?" Du Yunzhang asked.
"Then I don't know."
"Are you here just to tell me this?" Yin Chuan asked.
"No, this is just a side job. I came here to make up for what she has not finished. Master Lu, come on, follow us." The man surnamed Wan looked at Lu Changhua with a smile.
Lu Changhua bit his lip, "What if I don't leave?"
Ah Mei glared at him, pulled out a pistol from her waist and aimed it at Lu Changhua's forehead, "Then you can leave your life behind!"
"Hey? Mei, don't move your weapon." Wan reached out and pressed the gun in Mei's hand, then took it and put it in his pocket. "Master Lu, Madam Yan is still waiting for you. Don't you care about the relationship between husband and wife?"
Lu Changhua's shoulders trembled slightly, as if he had gone through an extremely intense ideological struggle. He turned his head to look at Mrs. Gao. Mrs. Gao's eyes were filled with tears, and she said nothing, apparently waiting for his statement.
At this time, Lu Enting helped Lu Tai up and stared at Lu Changhua with a cold brow. Lu Changhua sighed deeply and finally made up his mind.
"Okay! I'll go with you!" he said.
"Master!" Mrs. Gao said these two words with great reluctance.
Lu Changhua hardened his heart and walked towards the two people in the yard without looking back.
"Hey, that's right. Master Lu, please!" The man surnamed Wan chuckled and raised his hand to make a polite gesture for Lu Changhua to go in front. But something unexpected happened. Suddenly, Lu Changhua took out the pistol from his pocket at lightning speed, turned around and aimed it into the room. The trigger sounded, and blood spurted out. Uncle Lu Tai was hit by a bullet on the forehead. He widened his eyes and fell to the ground. Before anyone could react, Lu Changhua held the pistol horizontally, pointed it at his temples, and "bang" another shot was fired, killing himself.
All this happened in a split second, and even the extremely alert Amei didn't have time to stop it, and two lives were lost.
"This...this..." Wan Jianjun, sweating profusely, was at a loss for what to do. Ah Mei also slapped her thigh in frustration.
Everyone in the Lu family quickly regained consciousness from their brief shock. Mrs. Gao fell down and fainted. Lu Enting lay on Lu Tai's body and cried loudly. The room suddenly became a mess.
Yin Chuan was caught off guard by this sudden change. When he realized what was going on and rushed back to the courtyard, Wan Jianjun and Amei had already disappeared.
He stamped his feet in anger, "Hey, they slipped away again!"
Du Yunzhang rushed out, intending to chase the two men, but before he could leave the yard, a figure appeared in the rain and said, "Don't chase them. They've taken the gun. You'll only lose your life if you chase them."
Du Yunzhang took a closer look and found that it was Luo Mei.
"Where have you been?" Du Yunzhang asked somewhat indignantly.
"I have my own things to do," she said to Yin Chuan, "Don't worry, Ou Ye Linlang is fine. I didn't let Yu Zhenzhu take her away."
Yin Chuan's eyes lit up, "Great, thank you Miss Luo!"
"But she can't return to the Cao Gang anytime soon."
"Huh? What do you mean? Where is she now?"
"Don't ask so many questions for now. If you have anything to say, go back and tell me."
Luo Mei finished speaking and walked out, followed closely by Du Yunzhang. Yin Chuan looked back at the chaotic Lu family and the two bodies lying in a pool of blood in the rain, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.
