Chapter 588 The truth about the tragic death of parents
The sound next door stopped.
The brothers also stopped talking.
The jailer continued the interrogation.
"I'll give you another chance. If you explain everything clearly, you won't suffer anymore. If you don't explain everything clearly, I'll give you some new tricks."
"I'll recruit, I'll recruit anything, and I'll recruit whatever you ask." Chen Huzhong's weak voice sounded.
"May I have your name?"
"Chen Huzhong..."
The jailer first asked Chen Huzhong for detailed information, and after comparing it with the copy in his hand, he got to the point.
"Who are you working for?"
"The person who contacted me was a man named Rong Guanshi. He was about forty years old and looked... very ordinary. There was nothing special about him. He gave me a sum of money and asked me to open this gambling house. I really
I don’t know what he wants to do, usually I am only responsible for running the gambling house."
"You used to run a cloth shop, why don't you continue to run it?"
"I used to run a cloth shop because I had a friend who took care of me. Then that friend had an accident, and my cloth shop business got worse and worse, and I stopped doing it after that."
"What happened to your friend?"
"This... Sir, this shouldn't matter, right?"
"Aren't you going to answer whatever you ask? Or do you want to try the torture instruments of our Dali Temple again?"
"No, I say." Chen Huzhong continued, "My friend was also unlucky. He saw something he shouldn't have seen and was killed."
"What did you see?"
Chen Huzhong hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
"That day, my friend and I went to the branch to see how the business was doing. It rained heavily on the way and we couldn't keep going, so we found a place to rest. The place where we stayed was a temple. The monk there didn't want to let us stay, but my friend gave us
They paid a sum of money for sesame oil and stayed overnight. In the middle of the night, the wind was so strong that the window was blown open. My friend went to open the window, and then..."
"Then what?"
"He heard someone calling for help. He asked me if I heard it. I was lying down and said I didn't hear it. He said he went out to take a look. After he left, I felt a little urgent to urinate, so I started to urinate. It rained really that day.
It was very big. I saw those monks bullying a beautiful woman. The woman wanted to run away, but was held down by those monks in the rain. My friend went to help, but how could he be a match for several strong monks alone?
, was beaten to death by those monks. Those monks did not care about my friend, but took the woman away."
"As soon as they left, I took my friend away immediately. Even if it rained heavily, I knew I couldn't stay in that place any longer. My friend was seriously injured and it took him half a month to find a place to be treated before going home. Go home
Soon after, he encountered some bad things and his business could no longer be done, so he returned to the countryside."
"How do you know your friend died because of this incident?"
"After I returned that day, my mother died of illness. I took her body back to her old house and left Hubei City. After I came back, something happened to my friend's family. Originally, I wasn't sure that this incident was related to that incident, but there was
One day I heard that all the monks in that temple had died, and they died very miserably, with dozens of cuts all over their bodies."
Boom! The cell door opens.
Lu Yi and Lu Xuan walked in.
"Lord Lu." The jailer saluted.
Lu Yi waved.
Chen Huzhong opened his eyes and looked at Lu Yi and Lu Xuan.
"Sir..." Chen Huzhong said, "Sir Lu... are you Brother Lu's son?"
Lu Yi and Lu Xuan changed a lot.
Especially Lu Yi, who became more and more dignified after becoming an official, even people in the village did not dare to recognize him when they saw him.
"Tell me what you know." Lu Yi said coldly.
"Just...I said it all," Chen Huzhong said.
"No, you didn't make it clear." Lu Yi said, "You are sure it's because of this incident, but there must be other reasons. Maybe you prefer torture?"
"No, Mr. Lu, for the sake of your parents, please spare the little one," Chen Huzhong said.
"Then let's make it clear." Lu Xuan said, "How can we believe you when you can't explain it clearly? Or do you think we are so easy to fool? To tell you the truth, we have been investigating this matter for many years. Even if
If you don’t say anything today, we will continue to investigate. However, if you cooperate, we can still keep your life. If you don’t cooperate..."
"I confess, I confess everything." Chen Huzhong said, "I took Brother Lu away that day. When he woke up, he was worried about the girl and spent a lot of money to hire the most powerful local escort to accompany him to the temple again. We went up the mountain
At that time, I saw the blood all over the ground. I lied just now, I didn’t hear that those monks were dead, but I saw those monks die with my own eyes.”
"The girl was rescued by a man. The man had a mole in the corner of his eye and his weapon was a big knife. The knife was very strange and the handle was red. He carried the girl out. The girl... was particularly miserable.
At that time, the man wanted to kill us, but the girl stopped him. But I saw that the man's eyes were very cruel and murderous."
"After returning home, Brother Lu felt very uneasy. He had been distracted all day long. At this time, his powerful enemy took advantage of him and stole the secret recipe. His business could no longer continue. He simply took this opportunity to return to his hometown.
As for me, I really went back to attend the funeral for my mother at that time."
"Sir, Master Lu, that's all I know." Chen Huzhong said, "For the sake of my good relationship with your father..."
"The thing you committed this time is not a small one. If you want to live, then you must explain what happened this time." Lu Yi said coldly.
"What I know has been said."
"You don't know what the other party does, but you have opened a gambling house for him for so long, so you always know something. If you don't explain, don't even think about leaving Dali Temple."
Lu Yi turned and left.
Lu Xuan followed him closely.
After leaving the cell, Lu Xuan asked Lu Yi: "Brother, do you think what he said is credible?"
"Whether it is trustworthy or not, we will know after we investigate." Lu Yi said, "Although it has been many years, as long as we investigate, we will always find out. Besides, a monk in the temple is dead, so this matter will definitely cause a stir.
It’s huge. I believe there are still people who have impressions of the situation at that time.”
"Okay, tell me if you have news." Lu Xuan said.
"Um."
"I don't know who that woman is." Lu Xuan said, "If it was really because of this incident, wouldn't my father and mother be unjustly accused? It was obvious that my father had good intentions, but the other party actually killed her."
"When something like that happened to a woman, the other party wanted to kill her and silence her. To make this matter a permanent secret, it is possible to attack innocent people." Lu Yi said, "But I will never let go of killing my father."
