Chapter 125
This person was hiding in the shadows, ready to witness them being blown to pieces.
Liu Tianqing gasped and immediately headed towards Gu Mao's hiding place without saying a word.
He left with the words: "Get on that car my ass, Gu Mao is hiding in the toilet over there. If you don't go now, he'll run away."
Yan Qingfeng and Yun Chu quickly followed in her footsteps.
Xiao Ran froze for a second: "Holy crap!"
He quickly got out of the car and chased after them.
Only Gu Yan sat steadily in the car, trembling, and muttered to herself, "That's a murderer! Why are they going over there for no reason? Are they tired of living?"
When Gu Mao saw Liu Tianqing walking towards the toilet, he ran away through the toilet's ventilation window.
He's a madman, but a madman who values his life.
Liu Tianqing led the three men into the men's restroom, but there was no one inside.
Yan Qingfeng looked at the footprints on the ventilation window and kicked the wall: "Damn! I was a step too late!"
Xiao Ran also saw the footprints on the wall and clicked his tongue: "Why did I get on the bus? Are you crazy?!"
Liu Tianqing also looked regretful; in fact, he really wanted to see what the other person looked like...
"But it's okay. He didn't kill us this time, he'll just strike again."
Xiao Ran's lips twitched slightly. So this guy used him as bait?
Liu Tianqing patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder: "Come on, take us to do some chivalrous deeds."
Xiao Ran drove the four of them to a courtyard house in the suburbs.
Inside the courtyard, an elderly man in his seventies lay leisurely in a rocking chair, smoking a pipe.
When Xiao Ran entered the courtyard, the old man only glanced at him indifferently.
"Young Master Xiao, what brings you here?"
Xiao Ran casually dragged a stool over and sat down in front of the old man: "Where did your Gu Mao go?"
The old man took a puff of his cigarette: "That unfilial son hasn't come back in a long time."
Xiao Ran's gaze fell on a large bundle of tobacco leaves in the corner, and he sneered, "This tobacco... isn't sold locally, is it?"
The old man's expression remained unchanged as he tapped his pipe: "I had a friend bring it to me."
As he spoke, he looked up at Xiao Ran and said, "I am just Gu Mao's adoptive father. We have no relationship since he returned to the Gu family. If you want to find him, go to the Gu family."
The Gu family simply couldn't tolerate Gu Mao and had long since stopped caring about his life or death; the old man simply didn't want to get involved.
Xiao Ran wasn't angry. He took out a cigarette from his bag and put it in his mouth: "See these four people? Gu Mao almost blew them up today."
The old man merely glanced at Liu Tianqing and his group before replying, "What does this have to do with me? I didn't blow it up."
“But he learned it from you.” Xiao Ran took a drag of his cigarette, looking nonchalant.
"I only worked in a fireworks factory, I'm not an explosives master, I don't know how to make bombs."
The old man sneered, his face full of mockery:
"Instead of spending your time questioning me here, you should hurry up and find my husband who has been missing for eight years and my daughter who has been missing for twenty-seven years. I am over seventy years old and don't have many years left to live. I hope to see my husband and daughter one last time before I die."
Liu Tianqing squinted at the old man. She had a strange feeling about him; something was off about him.
“Ah Bai, this person… narrator him.”
System Abai: "Narration has been activated. Please start narration as soon as possible."
The old man had already gotten up from the recliner, as if to see the guest off.
After reading the narration, Liu Tianqing clicked her tongue; her intuition had never been wrong.
The fact that Gu Mao has become such a social scourge is largely due to this old man in front of us.
Seeing that the old man was openly trying to drive people away, Liu Tianqing immediately said, "Li Qingfeng, you are not at all like Qingfeng. You are not at all surprised that Gu Mao would do these things, are you?"
Li Qingfeng, the old man in front of me.
He paused for a moment, then turned to look at Liu Tianqing: "You must be Liu Tianqing? I've heard of you."
"I've only heard about it." Liu Tianqing smiled. "Didn't Gu Mao just tell you last night that the bombs he used today were the ones you made before?"
Xiao Ran's hand trembled as he smoked, and he suddenly looked up at Li Qingfeng.
Good heavens, he even said that this old geezer was very pitiful, not only did the son he raised not be his own, but he also went back to his biological parents' home.
It turns out that this old man was actually the one who supplied bombs to criminals!
Li Qingfeng remained remarkably calm; having lived for so many years, he had seen it all.
Hearing Liu Tianqing's words, he laughed heartily as if he were listening to a joke, before saying, "Young lady, you have to be sure of evidence before you speak. You can't just say things randomly, especially when there are police around."
Liu Tianqing raised an eyebrow: "I dare to say that, of course I have evidence. You originally intended to use those bombs to blast fish, but after you made them, you found that the bombs were too powerful, so you put them aside and made a few smaller ones instead."
"However, none of that matters. What matters is..."
As Liu Tianqing spoke, his gaze fell on the right corner of the courtyard: "Didn't you want to see your wife and daughter while you were still alive? Aren't they buried there by you?"
Xiao Ran's cigarette trembled again. He suddenly stood up and walked up to Liu Tianqing: "What do you mean by that?"
Li Qingfeng squinted at Liu Tianqing: "I've said it before, jokes aren't something you can just make casually."
Liu Tianqing shrugged: "Just dig a little, and everything will be clear, won't it?"
"This is my house. If you want to dig, you need to have the necessary documents. What right do you have to dig without the documents?"
Li Qingfeng appeared calm, but in reality, he was starting to panic. He was secretly planning to move the remains buried there as soon as he could fool the group away.
Xiao Ran had been dealing with Li Qingfeng for several years and could tell at a glance that Li Qingfeng was flustered.
Without saying a word, I called the bureau to apply.
However, when he returned after making the call, he saw that Yan Qingfeng and Yun Chu had already started digging.
Li Qingfeng tried to stop the two, but Liu Tianqing teased him like a dog, making "ee-ee-ee" noises as he quickly blocked his path.
Enraged, Li Qingfeng burst into a tirade: "You young people, do you know you're breaking the law?"
Liu Tianqing replied without mincing words, "At worst, I'll just compensate you with some money~ Our Lao Yan has plenty of money!"
As the tree planted in the corner was pushed down, the corner of a burlap sack was exposed.
Xiao Ran looked serious, quickly stepped forward, took the shovel from Yun Chu's hand, and began to dig.
The sack had long been pierced by tree roots, and the bones inside could be clearly seen through the roots.
Xiao Ran's hand trembled. He had been so close to the truth all along...
He took a deep breath and called the station: "The missing person from Li Qingfeng's family has been found. We are currently at Li Qingfeng's house, and the forensic doctor is on his way... It's skeletal remains..."
When Li Qingfeng realized that his plan had been exposed, he turned around and tried to run away.
Liu Tianqing grabbed his collar and threw him backward: "Why are you running? Your wife was just one step away from escaping back then, but you beasts dragged her back and crushed her to death. Now, with her remains in front of you, do you think you can still run away?"
Xiao Ran took a silver bracelet from his waist and handcuffed Li Qingfeng, his eyes filled with malice: "You two, father and son, have been quite proud of yourselves all these years, haven't you?"
Watching these police officers search day and night for two people who were already dead.
"It's not pride, it's appreciating my own achievements."
As Liu Tianqing spoke, he pulled a wet wipe from his bag and wiped his hands. There was something sticky on the old man's clothes.
Yan Qingfeng had been wanting to know what had happened for a long time: "Tell me quickly, what happened?"
"The story begins twenty-seven years ago, when Gu Mao accidentally killed his daughter, Li Dongdong..."
This narration essentially documents how a criminal is made.
As Liu Tianqing recounted the story, a cruel tale unfolded before everyone.
Twenty-seven years ago, Gu Mao wasn't called Gu Mao; he was called Li Mao Mao. He was nine years old that year. Li Qingfeng's daughter was called Li Dongdong, who was six years younger than Gu Mao.
On the day of the accident, Li Dongdong was making a fuss, asking Gu Mao, who was doing his homework, to take her out to play.
Annoyed by the commotion, Gu Mao shoved Li Dongdong, who slammed hard against the edge of the table and burst into tears from the pain.
When she cried, Gu Mao, who hadn't finished his homework, became extremely agitated. He lost control and covered Li Dongdong's mouth, trying to stop her from crying. But he didn't expect that by covering her mouth like that, he would suffocate her to death.
When Li Qingfeng returned, he found his daughter lying on the ground, her body already cold.
Koma sat down next to the corpse with a look of panic on his face.
After learning what had happened, he took a deep drag on his tobacco and said to Gu Mao, "When your mother comes back, just tell her that your sister went out to look for her."
Although Gu Mao didn't understand why he was being told this, he knew that he couldn't tell anyone about what had happened today, especially his mother.
And he also learned that from now on, he no longer had a younger sister...
Then, Li Qingfeng went to the backyard and dug up an osmanthus tree, then dug a hole in the right corner of the yard.
Then they took a pig feed bag, put Li Dongdong inside, buried it in the pit, and then planted the osmanthus tree that they had just dug up on top of it.
In the following days, in order to cover up the smell of the rotting corpse, Li Qingfeng would carry a large amount of manure from the cesspool every day to fertilize the osmanthus tree.
Because of the excessive amount of manure, the osmanthus trees died and were replanted, only to die again, until the stench of decay completely disappeared. Only then did Li Qingfeng stop replanting trees.
"Sewage..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran's eyes turned red:
“The same thing happened eight years ago. He said his wife loved magnolia flowers the most, so he cut down the old osmanthus trees and planted magnolia flowers instead, so that his wife could see them as soon as she came home.”
At the time, they thought the old man was very affectionate. It turned out that his so-called affection was just asking the boss to become fertilizer to nourish his favorite flowers.
Who would want this kind of deep affection?
Anyway, he doesn't want it.
That old geezer is really wicked.
Gu Yan, who had been keeping a low profile since the explosion, was now trembling with fear. He realized that the world of the big shots was incredibly dangerous.
In the past, when he was kidnapped, the kidnappers were only after money and would release him if he paid. Moreover, with Yun Chu, his extremely ruthless white moonlight, around, he was rarely kidnapped.
Therefore, they have never directly confronted this kind of perversion.
Today marks the beginning of his ordeal, during which he has experienced both being bombed and having his remains unearthed.
When will this ever end?
Looking at him, Yun Chu retorted, "Are you scared?"
"Any normal person would be scared, right?" Gu Yan was on the verge of tears. The man in front of her was a murderer!
"You're my boyfriend now, can you stop embarrassing me? It's just a skeleton, what's there to be afraid of?"
Yun Chu looked helpless. How come this person became more timid as they grew up?
Being looked down upon by his beloved made Gu Yan even more sorrowful: "Am I afraid of skeletons? I'm afraid that I might lose my life at any moment."
Can he return this "white moonlight" girlfriend?
Now he doesn't want her anymore. Actually, sometimes it's not so bad to have a substitute, at least she's safe.
While the two were chatting, Liu Tianqing began to recount the murder case from eight years ago.
“Eight years ago, his wife was just one step away, just one step away, from pushing open that door, but Gu Mao dragged her back… At that time, Gu Mao covered her mouth, and Li Qingfeng hit her head hard with a stone until his wife’s head was flattened and she stopped breathing, only then did the two of them start cleaning up the mess…”
As he spoke, Liu Tianqing pointed to a spot in the courtyard where orchids were planted: "Right here, they killed her."
Xiao Ran looked at the spot, paused for a moment, and then retorted, "Impossible. We've checked this place and didn't find any traces of blood."
Liu Tianqing nodded, indicating his agreement: "You did test it, and you didn't detect any bloodstains. Everything is normal because the soil on it didn't have any bloodstains on it to begin with."
“Beneath these orchids lies the soil with bloodstains. The soil on top was carried back from the field by Gu Mao at night, so of course you couldn’t have detected the bloodstains. Moreover, before the old man did it, he deliberately placed a plastic film underneath, and then burned the plastic film afterwards, so the whole scene was cleaned up very thoroughly.”
Xiao Ran's eyes widened slightly; the counter-surveillance skills of this father and son were too strong...
If it weren't for Liu Tianqing, the case of Li Dongdong and her daughter would likely remain unsolved.
He looked at Li Qingfeng and asked, puzzled, "Your aunt has lived with you for decades, how could you do that?"
"Who told her to be disobedient?"
Knowing he couldn't escape, Li Qingfeng decided to throw caution to the wind and said with a disdainful look, "I told her not to dig up the osmanthus tree, not to dig it up, but she insisted that the osmanthus tree affected the feng shui and couldn't be planted there."
“That day, she dug Dongdong out while we were not at home. When Dongdong died, she was wearing a pair of silver bracelets engraved with Dongdong’s name. She recognized Dongdong when she saw the silver bracelets.”
“It could also be a connection between mother and daughter. Even though all that was left was a pile of bones, she was absolutely certain that it was her daughter. Then she started yelling to call the police. How could I let her call the police?”
At this point, he chuckled wistfully: "Doesn't she miss her daughter? I let her go and keep her daughter company; she should be thanking me for granting her wish."
"Heh... You're quite polite, telling only half the story and leaving the other half for everyone to guess." Liu Tianqing sneered. He wasn't lying, but he didn't finish his sentence.
Li Qingfeng looked at Liu Tianqing with venom. It was all because of this woman that he couldn't even die peacefully in his old age.
Liu Tianqing didn't take him seriously and continued:
"You're afraid she'll really call the police and ruin your futures, but the reason is that Gu Mao isn't a bastard son of the Gu family at all."
