Chapter 399: He’s Dead
When Mdm Tan’s mother heard of this, she was angry and guilty. That day, she killed herself by knocking into a wall while Mdm Tan was cooking.
Mdm Tan lost her husband and mother overnight. She was overwhelmed with grief.
She initially wanted to go along with her mother. However, seeing that her daughter was still young, she had no choice but to endure it.
After settling her mother’s funeral affairs, she bought a house in town with the large sum of money Cai Xue had given her and lived there.
However, the good times did not last long. After moving to town for less than half a month, the mother-daughter pair was killed.
When Cai Xue heard this news, she was also shocked.
Although she was unreasonable, she had never thought of killing anyone.
“She’s not the murderer.”
Lu Sheng observed Cai Xue for a while before speaking suddenly.
Other than Chu Sihan, everyone was slightly stunned.
However, Cai Xue’s eyes lit up. She looked at Lu Sheng as if she had seen her savior.
She knelt up and kowtowed to Lu Sheng. “Miss, I’m really not the murderer. Please plead with the Lord for me and let us go!”
Lu Sheng smiled faintly, but her gaze landed on the man lying behind Cai Xue. She said lightly, “He’s the murderer.”
It turned out that when they entered the prison, Lu Sheng had already secretly released the souls of the mother-daughter pair from the talisman.
When they saw the man, they were first sad before becoming furious.
Then, they pointed at the man and wailed.
Lu Sheng was curious and asked them if this person was their murderer.
When the mother-daughter pair heard that, they immediately nodded excitedly.
Cai Xue was stunned. She was about to defend the man when Chu Sihan’s sudden words stunned her.
“Unfortunately, he’s already dead.”
“Dead?”
Fu Xianyun was surprised. “He was fine this morning. How could he have died?”
Chu Sihan said coldly, “He died not long ago.”
“Open the door.”
Fu Xianyun hurriedly asked the jailer to open the door.
After the door opened, the jailer brought the guards in to check. However, they realized that the man had covered himself to death with a blanket.
No wonder he was willing to treat his daughter that way.
“Dead?”
It took Cai Xue a long time to react. She immediately pounced forward and said in a daze, “No way. He was clearly still talking to me just now. How could he have died? He must have just fallen asleep!”
Although she said that, she reached her trembling fingers under the man’s nose.
“Ah—”
She collapsed to the ground in shock, her face frighteningly pale.
Lu Sheng glanced at the man and realized that he was around twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He was extremely handsome and looked like a gentle person.
Fu Xianyun sighed softly. “The murderer committed suicide for fear of punishment. There’s no need to investigate this case anymore.”
“How could this be?”
Cai Xue’s eyes were dull as she kept repeating this sentence.
Chu Sihan looked at her and said lightly, “Although you didn’t kill their family personally, they died because of you.”
“No, it’s not me! It’s not me!”
Cai Xue shook her head in fear. “It wasn’t me. I didn’t kill anyone!”
“In order to get Cheng Hai, you increased the Tan family’s rent several times higher than the other villagers. Then, when Mdm Tan’s mother was seriously ill, you forced her to give up on her husband. Her mother committed suicide out of guilt. On the other hand, Cheng Hai thought that his wife had abandoned him for money, so he killed his wife and daughter. Then, he committed suicide.”
Chu Sihan looked at her expressionlessly and asked, “Which one of them didn’t die because of you?”
