Even though it was only a short distance of seven or eight steps, Su Ruyi felt as if her legs were filled with lead, so heavy that she couldn't move them.
At this moment, Su Qiaoqiao also saw Su Ruyi arrive and shouted from behind, "Oh! The murderer's sister is here! Everyone be careful! What if she's a murderer too!"
Shulan immediately scolded her, "Su Qiaoqiao, don't go too far! Ruyi's master has passed away, and she's heartbroken right now. Don't hurt her feelings! Besides, it was her brother who killed her, what does it have to do with her?"
Su Ruyi ignored him and walked mechanically, step by step, until she finally arrived at Jin Dachun's bedside.
The body had been cleaned and dressed in new clothes, but there was still a large amount of red liquid seeping from the abdomen.
His eyes were closed, and all the wrinkles on his forehead had disappeared, leaving a smooth, flat forehead, just like the old man of longevity in a New Year's painting.
Su Ruyi stretched out her trembling hand and placed it on his carotid artery.
There was no pulse at all.
She released her divine sense—
The blood in Jin Dachun's body had stopped flowing.
Fresh air no longer enters his lungs.
His heart had stopped beating.
Su Ruyi took a step back, feeling as if all her strength had been drained away.
She covered her mouth to prevent her tears from falling on the old man.
how so? !
how so? ? ?
That shouldn't be happening!
How could Fifth Brother have killed Doctor Jin?
She rushed out the door, grabbed Su Qiaoqiao, and demanded, "Did you see my fifth brother kill my master?"
Su Qiaoqiao remained calm, still speaking in a high-pitched tone even while being lifted into the air: "Yes! What, are you going to kill me in front of everyone?"
"Besides you, who else saw it?!"
Su Ruyi's mind was still very clear, and in such grief, she clearly asked this question.
“Look, it’s her!” Su Qiaoqiao pointed to Ding Xiuping in the crowd.
Ding Xiuping, who had always been ostracized by the villagers, started to receive attention after witnessing the so-called "Suchid murder case." She was even given a stool to sit on.
Her arm had been hastily bandaged, but some blood had still seeped through, clearly the work of some self-proclaimed volunteer.
Su Ruyi released Su Qiaoqiao and walked up to Ding Xiuping.
Ding Xiuping's eyes flickered slightly: "Su Tie and Doctor Jin had a few words, and Doctor Jin said that he saw Su Tie killing the Ding family. Su Tie then killed Doctor Jin to silence him. I tried to stop him, and he stabbed me!"
As he spoke, he even showed off his arm.
Su Ruyi remained silent for a few seconds after hearing this.
Su Tie didn't kill anyone from the Ding family at all; it was Su Ruyi who killed them all.
Ding Xiuping is lying!
Why did she lie?
Su Ruyi looked Ding Xiuping up and down with her eyes.
There was also a lot of blood splattered on her body.
Could she be the murderer?!
It's very possible!
But why was she injured too?
Based on the testimonies of Su Qiaoqiao and Ding Xiuping, it is clear that Su Tie was also at the scene of the murder.
So...did he try to snatch the knife from Ding Xiuping's hand?
Was her injury caused by Fifth Brother accidentally when he tried to steal the knife?
Never mind! Su Ruyi made up her mind—let's stir things up first!
She said, "Ding Xiuping, why are you still with my fifth brother? He already knows the child in your belly isn't his, and he broke up with you last night! I really find it hard to believe what you're saying!"
"Whoosh—"
After Su Ruyi finished speaking, the crowd erupted like a boiling pot, with all sorts of voices clamoring out—
"Ding Xiuping is pregnant???"
"If it's not Su Tie's, then whose is it?"
"That's hard to say! There are too many potential fathers!"
"Hey, I remember now, last month when I was mowing the lawn with her, she kept feeling nauseous!"
"You bet she is! I thought she had hepatitis, and I didn't even dare to drink water from the same water bucket as her!"
Without exception, everyone's eyes were focused on Ding Xiuping's belly.
Ding Xiuping was caught off guard by Su Ruyi's move, and her face immediately turned red, and she felt dizzy.
But she gripped her thigh tightly, forcing herself to calm down: "Sixth Sister, I know you hate me! But this child in my belly is Su Tie's! We haven't broken up at all! What right do you have to spread such rumors and slander against me?"
Seeing her so calm, Su Ru took another strong remedy:
Do I have to recount all the things you've done?
You went to Sanhe County time and time again to ask Chu Liang'an for abortion medicine. You can't deny that, can you?
Back then, my fifth brother hadn't gone to the countryside yet, so surely all your children weren't his?
Should we ask my second senior brother, Chu Liang'an, to come and confront him?
Su Ruyi had never met this Chu Liang'an before, but she figured Ding Xiuping wouldn't mind if she used him to scare him.
Upon hearing this, Ding Xiuping's face turned ashen, and she bit her lip so hard that she couldn't utter a single word.
Su Ruyi's gaze swept over Su Qiaoqiao again.
This time, Su Qiaoqiao didn't dare to look him in the eye.
Su Ruyi didn't linger any longer. Instead, she took out two hundred yuan and asked Li Wang to expedite the ordering of a good coffin and a fine woolen Zhongshan suit as her burial clothes.
Her master had once mentioned in casual conversation that he wanted to be buried in a Zhongshan suit, the kind that looked particularly crisp and tailored, and she silently kept that in mind.
Her master's ever-cheerful face appeared before her eyes once again.
Su Ruyi quickly stopped crying and chased everyone out of the courtyard: "Go home, everyone. My master didn't like noise when he was alive. You've disturbed him."
The group of people left completely.
Besides Zhong Misu, there is also his paid follower Hu Zhenbo.
Hu Zhenbo was a little embarrassed at this moment, but Zhong Misu looked at him with concern: "Ruyi, are you alright?"
Su Ruyi nodded blankly: "You may all leave now."
Zhong Misu shook her head: "I'll stay with Doctor Jin. After you've treated the wound, Hu Zhiqing will clean it for him later."
Su Ruyi thought about it and agreed.
She was on her way to the treatment room to get the wound cleaning and suturing kit when Li Wang ran over with it.
Su Ruyi took the sewing kit that smelled of disinfectant and gently lifted her master's clothes.
There was a wound about four or five centimeters wide, with purple edges, and some intestines had spilled out.
According to Hu Zhenbo, the murder weapon was his own dagger—the entire dagger was submerged in his master's stomach.
At that moment, she was filled with immense regret—why had she put a dagger under her pillow?!
Su Ruyi took out alcohol to disinfect the intestines, stuffed them back into the abdominal cavity, and meticulously sutured them up.
She held back her tears until she finished sewing, but they didn't fall.
She stitched up her master's wound and applied a thick dressing.
Then, she knelt by the bed and slowly kowtowed three times.
Each head was making a banging sound.
