Chapter 28 Chapter 12 Leading the Snake out of its Hole

"After arriving in Canada, I opened a restaurant..." Wu Yu continued to tell us about his past—— After I finished junior high school, I stopped studying. I didn't have much education, and I didn't even know all the twenty-six letters. I could only say "shrimp guy" in English.I thought that when I came to Canada, my life would be inconvenient because I could not speak English.But after I got there, I realized that I didn’t even know a word of English, which didn’t really affect my life much, but not being able to speak Cantonese was even more troublesome. When I first got there, I asked the local Chinese immigrant service agency for help because I didn't understand anything.However, the social worker who helped me could only speak Cantonese, and we couldn’t understand what the other party was saying. In the end, we asked a local Westerner who could speak Mandarin and Cantonese to help us translate. This incident was often taken as a joke by us afterwards.

Although I still don't speak Cantonese very well, I can basically understand it, so it doesn't have much impact on my life.However, although I gradually got used to the local life, Xiao Hao still couldn't get used to it. He kept complaining to me until he was about to finish middle school, especially that people around him were very bad towards him. friendly.I also heard from his class teacher that the students in the class didn't like him very much. To be honest, I think that in Canada, both Chinese and Westerners are much friendlier than those in China. At least my car broke down on the road, and the passing driver will definitely get out of the car and ask me if I want to help, even if he is in a hurry.This kind of thing is not uncommon in China, but I am afraid it is rare.So I think it's not that others are unfriendly to him, but that he doesn't know how to communicate.Ah Cai died early. I brought up this child with my own hands. I know his temper very well. As a father, I also think he is very difficult to get along with, let alone others.

The schools there are different from those in China. They don't only pay attention to the students' grades, but pay more attention to the students' families and growth.His class teacher specially asked several people to discuss this matter with me, and there was even a psychologist among them.Experts say that his mother died early, and I doted on him too much, so he developed a selfish, inferior but domineering character.It is also suggested that I try to let him live an independent life, and not let him rely too much on me, otherwise it will not be conducive to his growth. The Western way of doing things is very different from ours. We always want to keep our children around, but they like to let their children take care of themselves.Although I really want to keep Xiaohao by my side, what the experts say makes sense. I can't let him stay by my side for the rest of my life, because one day I will grow old and one day I will die.So after he finishes middle school, I want him to go to other provinces to study at university.

However, when I asked him where he wanted to go to university, he actually said that he wanted to go back to China to go to university, and the university he chose was still near our hometown.At the beginning, I was very opposed to it, but he insisted, saying that people abroad are not friendly, and he must go back to China to go to university, otherwise he will not go to university.I couldn't hold back him, so I had no choice but to agree. Anyway, Master Ye Zhen said that the artifact can suppress infant grievances for more than a hundred years, and it has only been ten years, so I think there should be no problem.

Alas... good and evil will be rewarded in the end, the way of heaven is like reincarnation, if you don't believe me, look up, who will be spared by heaven! This is true, after all, there will be retribution for doing bad things, and no matter how hard you hide, you can't hide.During the Spring Festival, Xiao Hao went back to Canada to spend it with me. At that time, he was still shoveling snow in front of our house alive and well. Unexpectedly, it was only a month later. When I saw him again, he was already covered in blood. Scarred, shriveled corpses... From Wu Yu's narration, I found many valuable clues, but also many questions.For example, the school has strictly blocked the news about this fact. The parents of the other four deceased have not yet learned of their son's death letter. Why did he know so soon when he was far away in Canada?I questioned him about this, and he sighed: "In order to cultivate Xiaohao's independent ability, I follow the advice of psychologists and try not to contact him. However, although we rarely talk on the phone, it doesn't mean that I don't know at all. His situation. Because he uses my supplementary card, I can check every purchase of his, and I rely on these consumption records to guess his domestic situation. When I found that he hadn’t used the supplementary card for three days When I was stuck, I called him, but no one answered the house he rented, and his cell phone was always turned off. I felt something was wrong, so I called the college and asked his head teacher about the situation, but the other party kept evasive. At this time, I realized that something must have happened, so I flew over immediately. Unexpectedly, when I arrived, all I saw was his body..." Tears welled up in his eyes.

"You are in the academy all day long to find the murderer and avenge your son?" I asked. He shook his head lightly: "I am indeed looking for the murderer, but I just want to atone for myself." "Atonement? Why atonement?" Zhen Zhen asked curiously. He smiled wryly and said: "Maybe you won't believe it, but I really didn't think about avenging Xiaohao, because I knew in my heart that the person who really killed him was not someone else, but my father. It's all because I was obsessed with money back then." I planted the evil cause, and now I am causing him to bear the evil consequences for me, so I am the one who really killed him."

"I can't blame you, you don't have to blame yourself too much." Zhen Zhen comforted. "No, you don't understand the cause and effect. Xiaohao was indeed killed by me." Tears that were suppressed finally gushed out of his vicissitudes of life. "The murder weapon used by the murderer is the ancient sword you used to suppress the Infant Resentment?" I think I have understood the cause and effect he said. He looked at me in amazement, and nodded slowly: "That's right, Xiao Hao was killed by the artifact I buried." "Why are you so sure?" I asked again.

He smiled helplessly: "When I buried the artifact and the pagoda, Linan College hadn't been built yet. In order to cultivate Xiaohao's independent ability, I let him choose a school by himself. However, I never thought that the school he chose would be a It was built at the place where I buried the pagoda. Retribution, everything is retribution, and the heavens will not let off any sinner who has committed crimes..." Although his expression was sad, I had to ask him to understand the ins and outs of the matter, so I asked a question: "Although the academy was built in the place where you buried the ancient sword, it doesn't mean that the murderer must use it to kill people. How can you decide Is the murder weapon the ancient sword you buried?"

"Just because of Xiaohao's shriveled corpse..." After he finished speaking, he took some time to calm down, and then he told us the reason for it—— When Master Ye Zhen cast a spell to suppress infant grievances, he told me that the blood of living people must be used to stimulate the spirituality of the artifact.He originally planned to use his own blood, but he was already in his sixties at the time, and I was afraid he would not be able to bear it, so I suggested using his own blood.He also knew that he was not strong enough, so he told me that there is no need for too much blood, just a little bit of blood on the sword.I thought he meant to use the artifact to cut the skin and stain the sword with blood, so I picked up the artifact and prepared to cut my own wrist.However, he suddenly grabbed the artifact in a panic, and said to me with lingering fear: "You almost died."

Seeing that he was so nervous, I asked him what was going on, and he explained to me: "This artifact is not an ordinary thing. Not only is it magical, but it can also be alive when it touches blood. If you used it to cut your skin just now, you don't have to It will suck all the blood in your whole body in a short time, leaving no drop. In this way, can you still live?" Hearing how amazing this humble ancient sword in front of him said, I was only dubious in my heart, but after a while I I totally believed it. I obeyed his instructions, went to the kitchen and got a kitchen knife, cut my wrist and gave him a bowl of blood.He poured blood on the artifact. I thought the blood would flow to the ground along the blade, but in fact, the moment the blood touched the blade, it disappeared instantly, as if falling on the iron bar that was about to melt That way, as soon as it touched the blade, it evaporated immediately, and it didn't flow to the ground at all.

He told me that if I had cut my wrist directly with the artifact just now, the blood in my whole body would be absorbed by it in an instant, and I would immediately turn into a shriveled corpse... "So, after you saw your son's body, you were sure that he was killed by the artifact you buried back then?" His narration has already given me the answer, and I just want to confirm it. He nodded: "That's right, when I saw Xiaohao's body, I knew he was killed by me. Moreover, I also knew that people would be killed by artifacts one after another." "Why do you say that?" I asked again. "Back then, Master Ye Zhen told me that artifacts are magical, and if they are used improperly, they will cause people to lose their minds. At the beginning, I didn't quite believe what he said, but when he poured my blood on the artifacts, I completely lost my mind. Believe it. Because at that moment, a large number of fragmented memory fragments suddenly flooded my mind, and I also felt inexplicably irritable and angry, and even had an urge to kill, but this feeling disappeared quickly. He told me , Blood can carry memories, and the fragmentary memories of those evil spirits attached to artifacts will change my temperament drastically, and even occupy my thoughts. He gave me calming tea before the event just to keep my sanity.” He paused Dun continued: "He also told me that the magic of the artifact is extremely deep, even if his own blood does not fall on the artifact, it is easy to be manipulated by its magic just by staying with him for a long time. Therefore, he was able to use the magic talisman along the way. Seal the magical nature of the artifact, or he will lose his normality and kill people everywhere before he reaches my house." I think I have already understood the ins and outs of this case. The ancient sword that Wu Yu buried was accidentally discovered by the murderer. Because the murderer did not know the power of the ancient sword, he was manipulated by him and killed people at will in the academy.In order to make up for the mistakes he made, Wu Yu wandered around the college all day long, trying to find the murderer.If this is the case, then I can guess who the murderer is, so I asked: "The girl who quarreled with you in the woods is the murderer?" Wu Yu looked at me in astonishment, and then nodded vigorously after a moment of silence: "Yes, it is her. After these days of investigation, I can be sure that the artifact is in her hands, and she has been manipulated by the magic of the artifact. " "Is she a student in the academy? What's her name?" This was my biggest concern. However, on this crucial question, he refused to give me an answer: "I can't tell you just yet." "Why? Don't you want to bring her to justice and give your son justice?" Zhen Zhen suddenly grabbed his collar excitedly and pulled him up from the chair. "I think, of course I do! Not only do I want to give Xiaohao justice, but I also want to atone for myself." His expression was also very excited. Zhen Zhen yelled at him: "Then why don't you tell us who the murderer is?" "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I can't tell you for the time being." He gradually lowered his head as he spoke. "Do you know that if we catch the murderer a moment later, there may be one more victim! Do you still want her to kill more people, so that your son will have more companions on Huangquan Road?" Zhenzhen said vigorously Shake him a few times. He raised his head suddenly: "No, I didn't think so." "Then why can't you tell us now?" Zhen Zhen was still so excited. "I can't say it now, anyway, I can't say it now..." He lowered his head again and repeated similar words. We spent the whole night and couldn't get Wu Yu to reveal who the murderer was, so we had no choice but to let him go. We couldn't detain him for a long time because he had a foreign nationality.But that's fine, anyway, there might not be any clues if he is locked up, so it's better to lure the snake out of the hole, I'm not afraid that he won't meet the murderer again.As long as you follow him, the murderer will be caught sooner or later. He and Zhenzhen didn't close their eyes all night, and they had to run after Wu Yu's ass before they had time to eat breakfast. What a fate!If it wasn't for Xueqing to deal with other cases, I wouldn't want to do this drudgery. You must know that stalking is a very boring thing, and it's still stalking an uncle.We followed him for a long time, and found nothing other than that he lived in a hotel near Linan College, because he seemed to be sleeping in the room all the time.God of longevity, I really want to sleep too, I really want to open a room next to him to rest for a while, but unfortunately Zhenzhen strongly opposes my proposal: "Who knows if you, a pervert, will do strange things!" Helpless I had no choice but to stay at the end of the corridor and wait for him to come out. Wu Yu slept until noon and didn't get up until noon. We followed him quietly. During the period, I accidentally kicked down a trash can. Fortunately, he didn't seem to notice us.After he left the hotel, he went into a convenience store to buy cigarettes and lighters. He hadn't noticed that he had the habit of smoking before. It must be because he was upset that he wanted to smoke!Then, he walked towards the college and entered a fast food restaurant outside the college gate. It was lunch time at this time, and there were many students eating in the fast food restaurant, but there were still a few vacancies.But it was strange, there were other seats to choose, but he chose to sit next to the bathroom.Because the store was crowded with people, it was not easy for him to spot us, and we didn't even eat breakfast, so we simply sneaked in, found a place where he could watch him, and ate while staring at him. After eating, he went to the bathroom, and then sat where he was, as if waiting for someone.I noticed that when he came out of the toilet, he was holding a lighted cigarette in his hand, but after he sat down, he didn't smoke a single one, just glanced at it from time to time.I thought his behavior was suspicious, but I couldn't think of anything wrong for a while. Just as I was pondering the mystery, there was a panic scream in the bathroom, and a wet male student rushed out of the bathroom and cursed.His friends came over to ask him what he found, and he said that the fire sprinkler in the men's room was spraying water for no reason, and he was soaked all over.While speaking, he took out his mobile phone, MP3 player and other things to check, and found that they were all malfunctioning due to water, so he immediately called for the manager to come over. As soon as the manager of the fast food restaurant came over to understand the situation, he was surrounded by these boys and demanded compensation.The manager didn't immediately agree to their request, so they booed together to make the scene chaotic and attracted other guests to watch.After a long time of turmoil, the sweaty manager finally settled the group of students, and the other guests also dispersed.However, at the end of the song, I found that Wu Yu had disappeared. He probably sneaked away while taking advantage of the chaos just now. Could it be that he knew we were following him and deliberately dumped us?Why did he ditch us?Does his strange behavior just now have anything to do with the failure of the fire sprinkler? It seems that our method of attracting the snake out of the hole did not lead the snake out, but let the snake head run away.I began to wonder if Wu Yu really wanted to atone for the mistakes he made, maybe he was the real murderer.
