Chapter 443: You Don’t Believe Me
Su Tan shook her head, her thoughts were a mess at the moment.
Many times she felt that she was about to see the truth.
But there would be a ruthless hand that disrupted all the thoughts in her mind, making everything return to the starting point and putting her back in the fog.
Su Tan was standing in the fog, unable to make sense of it all.
Never able to go further.
The villagers kept wiping away their tears.
"Never mind."
"Master Su, please stop investigating."
"We consider ourselves unlucky and we accept our fate!"
"At worst, we can just stop having daughters from now on!"
At worst, from now on, whenever a baby girl is born in the village, they will strangle her to death just like Liu Juan's husband did.
It is better for the children to die in their own hands than in the hands of those people.
They had no other choice.
The truth cannot be found no matter what.
At this point, they are one step closer to the truth.
But the truth was so cruel that it frightened them.
“How should we face…”
"How can we face the fact that we killed our own child with our own hands?"
"Please, stop investigating!"
They no longer want to know the truth.
I never want to find the so-called murderer again.
The villagers were really scared.
They were afraid that if they continued investigating like this, perhaps even more cruel mysteries would be revealed.
If—a woman’s body shook violently.
She couldn't help but shed tears.
"What if we suddenly find out that the child wasn't lost accidentally, but was sent away by us personally? What will we do then?"
She really couldn't stand it anymore.
She always felt that if this continued, maybe one day the real murderer would not be someone else, but themselves!
Su Tan's body grew colder and colder.
She stared at the villagers in a daze.
The finger bones are also very cold.
"You...you really don't want to continue investigating. Don't you really want to know who killed your child?"
Lu Zhiheng sighed.
He shook his head and couldn't help but say to the villagers, "Giving up at this time, aren't you afraid of disappointing your children?"
Looking at the villagers' faces suddenly turned pale.
Lu Zhiheng reached out and pushed Su Tan's arm.
"Su Tan, didn't you bring back the souls of the children?"
Su Tan's thoughts were a mess at the moment.
When she looked at the mutilated bodies of the baby girls, she always thought of Changle.
So when she suddenly heard the villagers say they wanted to give up on finding the truth, she became very excited.
She brought these people into her life, but she could not accept that she would let go of the murderer who killed Changle.
If it were her, she would find the real culprit even if it meant going to the ends of the earth.
Even if they die together, those people must die.
She couldn't understand why these villagers would even think of giving up on finding out the truth.
She knew that if she suddenly saw through even a little bit of the mystery, the villagers would definitely not be able to accept it.
But can I give up on finding the real culprit just to make myself feel less guilty?
Su Tan suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart.
It was Lu Zhiheng's push on her arm that finally helped her calm down.
Su Tan slowly exhaled a breath of foul air.
She looked at the villagers in front of her quietly.
He shook his head expressionlessly.
"I did bring back the souls of your children."
"It's just that the souls of these children are incomplete."
"Even if we look at the children's souls, we can know how cruelly they were treated in their lifetime."
Su Tan shook his head and mechanically moved the corners of his lips.
Her eyes fell on the villagers in front of her.
Almost indifferent opening.
"But, now is the time for me to tell you everything?"
"Is it necessary for you to see what the child has been through?"
After all, they no longer care who the real murderer is, so there is no need to know what the child has suffered in the past.
Even—Su Tan closed his eyes.
"There's no need for you to even see the child again, lest I make you sad."
Perhaps, before seeing the child's soul, these people will still regret it late at night, and still want to catch the real murderer and bring justice to their child.
He would come to her the next day and tell her that she must continue the investigation.
But if they were asked to see the child's soul, perhaps these people would suddenly find it impossible to face it, and would rather become deaf, dumb and blind, deceiving themselves into thinking that maybe the child is still alive, or even alive and well.
The villagers' faces turned pale.
They also knew why Su Tan said that.
Everyone closed their eyes in pain, their lips trembling, and couldn't help but look at Su Tan in pain, "Master Su, please let us see the child."
"We never saw our child for the last time, and now... we want to talk to him."
Su Tan remained silent.
Lu Zhiheng took the opportunity to say, "But you've already decided to give up on seeking justice for the child, and now you suddenly want to see the child again. Aren't you really afraid that the child will be sad?"
This statement is too sharp.
So much so that those people lowered their heads and dared not look into Lu Zhiheng's eyes.
Finally Su Tan sighed.
After sorting out my emotions, I gradually calmed down and told myself that they were not me, and those children were not Changle.
Everyone in this world is different.
She can't force everyone to follow her own standards.
Su Tan lowered his eyes.
She said, "Whatever your decision is, since you want to see the child, then go ahead and see him."
Su Tan chanted a string of spells, and suddenly a gourd pattern appeared on his hand.
Slowly, the gourd began to spread out like diluted ink.
The souls of countless children ran out.
They searched for their children among those souls.
Those children are also looking for their families among the souls.
For a moment, the crying sounds that came one after another almost filled the entire sky.
This was the scene Song Tingchen saw when he rushed over.
Su Tan and Lu Zhiheng stood together, staring at the villagers in front of them with complicated expressions.
No one knows what they are thinking.
But at this moment, even though he knew that Su Tan and Lu Zhiheng had no connection at all, he couldn't help but feel sad when he saw this scene.
Song Tingchen asked what stage the investigation had reached and what had been discovered just now.
He was asking about serious matters, and there was no reason for Lu Zhiheng and Su Tan not to answer, so they told him what they had found out before with expressionless faces.
A glimmer of hope appeared in Song Tingchen's eyes.
Su Tan is willing to talk to him today!
Don't speak in a sarcastic way, but speak nicely.
His fingers trembled slightly due to excitement.
But Song Tingchen tried hard to suppress his joy.
He just suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Tan, and volunteered.
"Since... since you've discovered the strangeness in this, why not let me investigate this matter."
Su Tan first glanced at the villagers who were crying together.
He looked at Song Tingchen again.
Her deep gaze fell on him, and her brows knitted together, "You?"
There was deep suspicion in her tone.
It was as if she didn't believe from the beginning to the end that Song Tingchen would care about the life and death of these children, nor did she believe that Song Tingchen was really so kind that he would care whether these villagers could get justice.
Will those dead children ever get justice?
after all--
Su Tan was both amused and confused.
After all, Song Tingchen's own child had an accident in the past and his child died innocently, but he just blindly protected the murderer.
I always felt that Changle’s life or death was not important.
But Liu Qingyin must not be slandered in any way.
Thinking of the past, Su Tan looked at Song Tingchen in front of him again and felt that he was really ridiculous.
She looked away, her expression cold and her tone neither positive nor negative, "General Song, it's still not necessary."
"When you investigate a case, you always bring in too many emotions, always bring in your own feelings, and only want to believe what you believe and see what you see."
"No--"
Having said that, Su Tan sneered again and corrected his statement.
"General Song is easily blinded by his own obsession. Sometimes, even if the truth is laid out before you, you will never believe it."
Su Tan's tone was cold.
"If someone like you joins us in investigating the case, it will greatly hinder us. How can I be sure whether the information you give me is true or false?"
Song Tingchen is a person with a criminal record.
Su Tan would never trust him easily again.
He was not worthy to be involved in these matters.
Emperor Qinglong asked Song Tingchen, the General Zhenbei, to investigate the case. On the surface, Su Tan and Lu Zhiheng were willing to give him some face.
But if Song Tingchen really wants to muddy the waters.
Whether he can come safely and leave safely is another matter.
Song Tingchen's eyes trembled violently.
His fingers subconsciously dug into his palms, and he looked at Su Tan blankly.
"You don't believe me?"
His voice trembled a little and his whole body shook uncontrollably.
Lu Zhiheng thought that his appearance was so pretentious that it was laughable.
"Where do you have any trust?"
