Fatty Wang stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Huzi by the collar, and began punching and kicking him.
He didn't say a word, he just kept hitting people, venting the emotions that had been building up inside him.
His grandmother, his parents, his wife and children—none of this was related to them, yet they bore the inexplicable hatred of this mother and son.
He was unwilling to accept it, truly unwilling to accept it.
But what else can he do now besides beat this person up?
No matter what he does, his loved ones will never wake up, and nothing he does will change the fact that he will be all alone in this world from now on.
"Stop hitting him, Young Master Wang, stop hitting him! He's your brother! He's your own brother!" Zhang Liu's mother pleaded, heartbroken for her son.
However, Fatty Wang acted as if he hadn't heard her, and continued to deliver heavy punches to Zhang Huzi.
"Don't hit Hu Zi!" At this moment, the silly girl who had been staring blankly at Lu Zheng finally came to her senses. She got up to pull Wang Pangzi away, but Wang Pangzi raised his hand and hit her.
Fatty Wang didn't hold back at all. The silly girl was knocked back several steps, her head hit the stool, blood streamed down her forehead, and she fainted.
This unexpected turn of events caused Fatty Wang to stop what he was doing, and he frowned as he looked at Silly Girl.
Gu Xin went over to check on the silly girl's condition and asked Dong Xue and Zheng Qiu to help her to the side and stop the bleeding.
Dongxue had been with Gu Xin for over a year, so she knew how to do basic things like stopping bleeding. She quickly applied medicine to the silly girl's forehead and wrapped it with a cloth, but the silly girl showed no signs of waking up.
Stopped by this, Fatty Wang lost all interest in fighting. He clenched his fists, slumped his shoulders, and knelt down in front of his loved one's body.
...
In the case of Hongyuan Temple, Zhang Huzi confessed that he was the murderer. Gu Xin asked him a few more questions, which he answered honestly. The person taking notes recorded them all.
Zhang Liu was an accomplice; without her first poisoning Ping'er, Zhang Huzi wouldn't have been able to proceed so smoothly.
Both mother and son were arrested and brought to justice.
The silly girl knew nothing and remained unconscious after hitting her head. The young novice monk prepared a meditation room for her to sleep in, and Gu Xin asked Dongxue to look after her.
Because of the murder that occurred at Hongyuan Temple, even though the murderer has been caught, it cannot be opened immediately.
Gu Xin and her team hadn't slept for over twenty hours. By the time the case was closed, it was already dark, so they decided to spend the night at Hongyuan Temple.
Just then, the abbot led the monks in the temple to perform a ritual to help the Wang family members pass on to the afterlife.
Lord Xu led his men to deal with the follow-up to the case, while the head steward went down the mountain to go home and prepare for the funeral.
Gu Xin, Lu Zheng, and Zheng Qiu accompanied Fatty Wang as he burned paper money at the altar.
"Old Wang, you should go and rest for a while. You've been working so hard, and there are still so many days to go. If you don't sleep, your body won't be able to take it," Gu Xin advised, looking at the silent Fatty Wang.
"Okay, I'll stay with them a little longer." Fatty Wang nodded, paused, and then added, "Don't worry, I won't do anything foolish."
Lu Zheng patted Fatty Wang on the shoulder without saying a word.
At midnight, Gu Xin and the others went back to their rooms to rest. Before leaving, Gu Xin wanted to persuade Fatty Wang again, but Lu Zheng stopped her.
Lu Zheng shook his head at her and pulled her away.
