108 The Ending and Response of "The Man Who Grew in the Attic"
Yin Canhai told the police his story.
"My parents have always favored Canyang since he was little, so I've always been a little jealous of him. But unexpectedly, Canyang is indeed the child that his father always said is most like him."
"I brought a beggar home out of kindness, just wanting him to have a good meal. But Canyang told me that beggars have no place to shelter from the wind and rain, so he asked me to keep him. It just so happens that we have an attic at home."
"I agreed, and Canyang kept it a secret for me. But unexpectedly, a few days later, I noticed all sorts of wounds on the beggar's body. I found Canyang, and he admitted it. He was curious about what the rope Dad used on Mom would look like if he used it on someone else."
Speaking of this, Yin Canhai showed a sad expression on his face.
"I didn't expect he was actually imitating Dad. I was scared, but I didn't dare to expose him. Dad always protected Canyang, and Mom never cared about us. Dad would only blame me, and I would be punished by him."
When talking about "being punished by dad", Yin Canhai shrank unconsciously, as if he recalled something scary.
On the other side, Yin Canyang was also recalling his childhood.
"Yin Canhai told me that using a rope would be more effective than using a knife. I didn't understand what he meant, but he said he wanted to buy some rope, so I bought it. Although I know he was jealous of me, we are the closest of brothers after all. I love him very much and trust him very much."
"During this time, I was also covering for him. I knew what he was doing, but I didn't think he would kill that person. Dad should know about this because he never went to the attic."
Several policemen stood between the two doors and heard the arguments from both sides through their headphones.
The young policeman, who was only in his twenties and had just graduated, had never experienced anything and was shocked by the words of the two brothers.
"So, they've been conspiring to commit crimes together since they were seven years old? That's terrifying. The brothers even knew how to cover for each other. They must have inherited their father's criminal genes. But, their stories don't match. Who is the mastermind?"
The older policeman flipped through the documents in his hand and concluded, "One of them must be lying, unless..."
The police had the hospital conduct a psychiatric evaluation on Canhai and Canyang, and the results showed that both suffered from severe mental disorders.
Two mental illnesses.
The older policeman who received the result sighed deeply.
He also held another test result in his hand, which showed that two similar DNA samples were found on the body.
A part of the prison,
Yin Mingri, who has served his sentence for eleven years, has aged a lot and does not look like a man in his forties, but his temperament still makes him look very different from other prisoners.
"Number 47 Yin Mingri, someone is looking for you."
Yin Mingri sat on the chair in the visiting room and saw his cousin through a transparent glass wall.
Seeing her brother, the cousin couldn't help but pick up the phone and confide: "Tomorrow, Canhai and Canyang have also been arrested. What should I do? What do you think I should do?"
Hearing this, Yin Mingri actually smiled and murmured, "I knew they would come to accompany me."
When the police found Yin Mingri, his expression seemed to indicate that he had anticipated this.
The police felt a little numb when they saw the extremely cruel and perverted man in the report. Judging from his appearance, it was hard to tell that this polite and even elegant man had tortured his wife for three years, using various methods that became increasingly exaggerated.
He remained calm when he was arrested, and even spending more than ten years in prison did not wear away his arrogance.
"Do you know why we are looking for you?" asked the policeman.
Yin Mingri nodded, "I know."
"But no comment."
The policeman threw the pen in his hand to the ground with a clatter. "Yin Mingri, do you know that confessing is something you must do?"
Yin Mingri seemed to see through the young policeman's timidity and smiled. "Mr. Policeman, I've already explained everything I need to say. I killed them all, and I have no objection to the verdict. Can you let me go? I need to get back to work."
The camera turned and the young policeman said to the older policeman with a bitter face: "What should I do, Master? The three of us in this family are all so stubborn."
The older police officer shook his head and said, "Forget it. Even if we find out the truth about the two suspects when they were seven years old, we can't convict them because of child protection. Let's first investigate these murders."
The police investigated for a long time, during which time they had to allow Yin Canhai and Yin Canyang to be released on bail. The brothers, who looked exactly the same, looked at each other from a distance of more than ten meters in the police station, and then turned their heads away.
There was no quarrel, and the two brothers who had been blaming each other in the interrogation room seemed to have returned to their old ways.
The breakthrough came from their childhood friend, who said, "Canyang likes to go out alone around his mother's death anniversary. I ran into him once, and later, I ran into Yin Canhai."
The police hurriedly inquired about the specific time and place, and finally obtained the video recording of the two of them with great difficulty.
In the end, Yin Canhai was convicted of murder and Yin Canyang was acquitted.
In the visiting room, Yin Canyang saw Yin Canhai for the last time.
"Why did you kill them? Just to put the blame on me?"
There was darkness under Yin Canhai's eyes, and it was obvious that he had not slept well in the past few days.
He looked at his brother one last time, full of malice.
"Because I don't like the way they look at me, because they like you."
Yin Canyang put down the phone and turned to leave. Behind him, Yin Canhai was still laughing on the phone and said loudly: "This time, Daddy should like me more. I am the child who looks most like his father."
Yin Canyang didn't look back, not even once.
He left the police station and saw a girl who looked very much like his mother on the side of the road.
He chased after her and the girl was surprised.
Yin Canyang greeted her generously and brightly: "Hi, my name is Yin Canyang. You are very beautiful. Can I have your phone number?"
A breeze blew, and the beautiful and romantic scene of their meeting appeared on a painting in the bridal chamber.
The picture zoomed in, freezing on the girl's bright smile and the man's face that looked very much like his father. This was their wedding photo.
The end.

"The Man Who Grows in the Attic" has come to an end, and the reviews of the show online are mixed.
Some say it opened high and closed low, some say it opened low and closed high, and some say it opened high and then exploded.
But without exception, everyone felt the creator's deep malice from this ending.
I don’t dare to get married anymore. I feel that if I get married, I will meet Yin Mingri or Yin Mingri’s descendants, and they are not good people.
It’s horrible, the offspring of a man who has sex with a scumbag will inherit his genes!!!
The entry #Don’t marry anyone casually# topped the trending search list.
Once you enter, you can see real and fake passers-by sharing the marriage ghost stories they have heard or seen in the entries.
My grandmother once told me a story: A young woman from a wealthy family fell in love with a farmhand. Her parents disapproved, so she and the farmhand eloped. Decades later, when her parents saw her again, she had already turned to dust. It turned out that the woman and the farmhand returned home, had nine children, and died in her early forties.
Don't give birth to a boy! I gave birth to two children to complete the good word. Girls are really much more obedient and sensible. Not only do they give in to their younger brother, they also help us take care of the house. The younger one is different. He never understands how hard his father and I work. After school, he gives us everything he wants and is never satisfied. Sometimes I think girls are better because they can understand us.
Have you heard the story of Wang Baochuan?
It's true that boys admire their fathers more. A social media influencer on a certain platform did an interview show. Of the dozens of boys interviewed, every one said their father was the person they admired most, and none mentioned their mother, who took care of their daily lives.
[I feel like this trending search will soon die down.]
Korean Forum
The poster: Don't you think "The Man Who Grows in the Attic" is a bit too explicit? The son of a perverted boy inherits the same genes as his father. It seems our country's fertility rate is shaky.
Anonymous 1: It’s best to stay away from such deceptive faces. Handsome men are the most deceptive.
Anonymous 3: I hope our country’s fertility rate will drop directly to 0.
Anonymous 4: Doesn't anyone think this is destroying the image of men in our Republic of Korea?
-Anonymous 96: Xiba, what is your image?
Anonymous 6: His acting is so good that I have a deep impression of Yin Mingri. I hope the actor will take on a sweet idol drama that can save the fertility rate next.
Anonymous 9: Is it too explicit? Please, this is the 21st century, not 30 years ago. Please make more TV dramas like this for normal people.
Anonymous 12: This is a good drama that was ruined by its name. After watching it, I felt creepy and nauseous.
Anonymous 13: The most terrifying thing is that this kind of thing will never stop happening. How many of Yin Mingri's descendants will inherit his inferior genes? It's terrifying to think about it.
Anonymous15: This drama deserves to be seen by all women.

After the finale was broadcast, Song Qixian didn't even dare to ask Paopao how his performance went.
He felt a little embarrassed for playing such an unpleasant role.
But once he got there, he received all kinds of praise and encouragement.
"Bao, you acted so well! You actually played three such complex characters! Did the Queen Mother send you down to earth to save humanity?!"
I'm so lucky to have met you. I can proudly tell my classmates and friends, "Look, he's that actor with really good acting skills. Watch his TV series, just close your eyes and go in."
[Wow, Qi, I'll forgive you for a second because it's you. I hate Yin Canhai and Yin Mingri! If there are men like them, let them be ground to ashes.]
[This drama is great. Are you going to switch to a serious drama? But I love your idol dramas so much. Can you not switch so quickly? Act in an idol drama for a change of pace. Please, I know you are watching. The best Qixian baby in the world~]
[Kiss, mua~ You've been working so hard lately, right? What can I do? I can't see you in person anymore. We had the chance at the end of last year. I have to hold a concert or fan meeting just for you someday. We have so many people who want to see you.]
[Can you take a break after this busy period? You've been working non-stop for a long time, don't overdraw your body! You, Song Qixian, your body belongs to all the Morning Stars. I command you not to harm it!]
Song Qixian smiled. He felt very healed every time he looked at the bubbles.
