The mother took the music box, looked at it for a moment, put it back in its place, and said with a smile, "It feels very familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere, but I can't remember where."
"Maybe it's just a coincidence, son. You seem nervous?"
Qin Nuo shook his head and laughed dryly: "Just curious, just asking."
"Okay then, drink the milk and go to bed. Don't stay up late."
With that, the mother left the room.
Qin Nuo returned his gaze to the two music boxes and had to put them away first. Although he had not made any practical progress in the investigation, it was at least clear that this mysterious principal was related to Li Xiaoming.
Following his mother's instructions, Qin Nuo washed up, drank a glass of milk, and lay down to sleep.
The next morning, sunlight shone in from the window. It was almost six o'clock, and Qin Nuo, who had already developed a biological alarm clock, opened his eyes on time.
This time, there was no mother's shouting outside the door.
Qin Nuo called out twice, but there was no response. He probably went out.
Sitting up, grabbing her fluffy hair and yawning, she subconsciously glanced at a mural on the headboard. The mural showed a fairy playing by the river, with cranes, auspicious clouds and other things beside her, symbolizing blessings.
The mural has been there since Li Xiaoming was old enough to understand. His mother told him that a master was specially hired to design it in Qin Nuo's room, with the intention of blessing him with academic success and healthy growth.
It is a bit similar to the painting style of Dunhuang. There is obviously nothing strange about it, but every time he wakes up from bed and looks at the mural for the first time, he always feels inexplicably horrified.
Wearing pajamas, Qin Nuo went to the bathroom, washed up, and went to the living room. His mother was not in the kitchen. His father was sitting in the corner with a newspaper as usual.
Qin Nuo ignored his father to avoid getting himself into trouble.
On the dining table, there was breakfast prepared by his mother, which was neither too hot nor too cold, just the right temperature. Qin Nuo started eating it by himself.
But at this moment, the father in the corner suddenly put down the newspaper.
After not seeing him for a few days, my father's face looked even more terrifying. His face was like melted rubber, and something seemed to be crawling and wriggling under the skin, as if his whole face would fall to the ground in the next second.
A lot of hair on his head had fallen out, and the kitchen knife embedded in his skull was very clear, as if it had grown together with his flesh and blood.
Qin Nuo looked at him in surprise, not understanding why he suddenly put down the newspaper.
Then he went into the kitchen, took out the frozen pieces of meat from under the refrigerator, and tore them apart and searched through them frantically.
“No! No!”
My father's face was ferocious as he grabbed those hard pieces of meat, and the sounds coming out of his throat became more and more violent.
"Does she really think she can hide forever? This damn woman, once I find her, everything will be over!"
My father roared in a rough voice, came out of the kitchen, and ran to the bedroom, rummaging through the drawers and cabinets. All kinds of smashing and breaking sounds could be heard.
Qin Nuo frowned slightly.
Why did Li Tong lose control at this time? Was it because Mo Fang left?
What exactly is he looking for? Why hasn't he found it after searching for so long?
Qin Nuo ignored his father's temper, finished his breakfast, and took the dishes into the kitchen to clean up.
The scattered pieces of flesh on the ground were already melting, and blood was flowing through the cracks in the tiles.
Qin Nuo hesitated whether he should clean it up, but considering Li Xiaoming's temper, he squatted down, picked up the pieces of meat, and put them back into the refrigerator.
The refrigerator has been open for a long time, and the ice inside is melting little by little, and ice water is flowing out.
Qin Nuo took out the ice water from the refrigerator and was about to put the meat back in when his eyebrows raised.
The ice layer in the refrigerator seemed to be freezing something.
Qin Nuo took an ice pick and broke the layer of ice. The thing frozen inside fell out. It was a ring.
Qin Nuo took out the ring, a little confused.
Why is there a ring in the refrigerator?
Did my mother accidentally lose it in there?
"Mo Fang doesn't seem like a careless woman. It's unlikely that something like this would happen accidentally."
Qin Nuo checked inside the refrigerator again and soon found a ring frozen in the ice. If it weren't for the sufficient light and careful observation, he would not have been able to find it.
Qin Nuo picked up the ice pick and chiseled for a while, and successfully took it out.
Comparing the two, one is large and the other is small, and they are the same style.
Apparently, these are a pair of wedding rings.
Why did Mo Fang hide her and her husband's wedding rings in the freezer?
Qin Nuo observed the inside of the ring. The inside of the larger ring was engraved with the letters "lt", which was obviously the pinyin abbreviation of Li Tong's name.
Qin Nuo looked at another ring again, but unexpectedly found that the three letters "lff" were not engraved on the inside of the ring, but Mo Fang's abbreviation.
"Lff, this should be the initials of the third party's name. Why does she have a wedding ring with Li Tong..."
Qin Nuo muttered these words, his face suddenly froze and his pupils suddenly contracted.
Could it be that the third person in the photo is Li Tong’s original wife, and Mo Fang is the third person who interferes with this family?
Qin Nuo took a deep breath.
Because he found that if he reasoned according to his own conjecture, all the confusions he had discovered before could be better explained!
Fuck, doesn’t that mean that I’m the bastard brought home from outside?
Are Li Xiaokui and Li Xiaodie the original owner's children?
Then why did Mo Fang become the mistress of this family, and where did Li Tong’s original wife go?
There was a noise in the living room, and Qin Nuo put the ring away silently.
It was Li Tong who came in, covered in dust and cobwebs. He stared at his son and asked hoarsely, "What are you doing?"
"Clean up." Qin Nuo spit out two words.
Snap!
Qin Nuo was about to pick up a piece of meat when Li Tong stepped hard on it, crushing the meat into pieces and splashing blood.
"Why do you want to clean up? Are you helping me as a father? Stop pretending. I have never acknowledged a bastard like you as my son!"
Li Tong's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Qin Nuo. There was a slight creaking sound on his head, as if it was the sound of a kitchen knife rubbing against his skull.
"I'm feeling sorry for you, you poor wretch!" Qin Nuo sneered, raised his head, and looked at him without any fear.
"What did you say?" My father's face was shaking and distorted, and it was impossible to tell his exact expression.
"No, I was wrong. I should have said you were a loser!"
Qin Nuo sneered: "My pitiful life has been dominated by my mother. I was hit on the head, but I dare not retaliate. I can only shrink in the corner and stare blankly all day long."
"Only when my mother leaves the house do you dare to leave your seat and search for something you've been searching for for years but can't find. Whenever my mother comes back, you have to retreat into the corner and use newspapers to cover up your cowardice."
Qin Nuo stood up and approached his father, ignoring the terrifying ghost aura and the increasingly terrifying face.
With a sneer on his face, he said, "Isn't it likely that your ex-wife's biggest regret in her life was entrusting her to a loser like you?"
