Chapter 75 The Secret
"No, of course not!" Yang Wenbin seemed offended by these two questions, "Do you think I—"

"That's it." Yan Junli smiled and said patiently, "Even if this family will become unlucky in the end, it's not you, but the truth behind the case. And you are just a revealer , no matter how cruel the truth is, you should tell it and give justice to the dead."

"But what about the living?" Yang Wenbin muttered to himself, closing his eyes.

The car drove to the Rose County Manor at a leisurely pace. The sky gradually darkened, and the setting sun burned on the corner of the horizon, blending with the endless wilderness.

There was a gloomy atmosphere in Rose County Manor, everyone was doing their own things, and no one spoke.

"Doctor Yang, Team Yan." Li Hong came out of the room with three luggage backpacks in his hand, it seemed that he helped them pack their luggage in advance.

Yang Wenbin thanked Li Hong and took the backpack, then cleared his throat and said, "We'll go back to the hotel tonight, we've been bothering you for the past few days."

But no one responded to him, and there was only silence around him.

Yang Wenbin frowned, looked around but found that the twins were not there.He walked to Yu Yongyi's side and asked in a low voice, "Where are the twins? Why didn't you see them?"

"The handsome young master seems to have been frightened by something, and young master Yinghua is accompanying him in the room." Yu Yongyi stopped cleaning his hands, "Sir, if you want to leave, please leave quickly."

Yang Wenbin heard something bad from Yu Yongyi's tone, but for some reason this made him more courageous.He amplified his voice and said sharply at a volume sufficient for everyone present to hear clearly:
"I have one more thing to inform you! I want all of you to stay here tomorrow morning. If anyone is not in the manor, it will be regarded as absconding!"

Ma Xiangtao threw down the rag in his hand, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Why should we listen to you?"

"Because Ge Tianlu who surrendered himself was not the murderer. The murderer who killed Meng Yangping and Mei Qing was someone else." Yang Wenbin said word by word, "Tomorrow, I will reveal the truth of all this."

The nights in the suburbs are very clean, without the high-rise buildings of the city, nor the smog and exhaust gas of the city.The entire sky seems to be hanging above the head, and you can see the stars all over the sky as soon as you look up.

Li Hong came to the balcony of the small hotel.Yan Junli was wearing a big black windbreaker and was smoking slowly while standing on the balcony.

"Captain Yan, Dr. Yang...is he alright?" Li Hong said with some concern, "I always feel that he is a little abnormal in this incident."

Yan Junli shook his head and exhaled a smoke ring: "I don't know, there must be something in the truth that touched him."

"Captain Yan, do you think it's possible that Dr. Yang is going through that 'hurdle'?" Li Hong asked.

Yan Junli's expression immediately tensed up: "What's the hurdle?"

"You know, it's the one that each of us will go through." Li Hong said, "Every policeman, every criminal, stepped into a certain hurdle from the world over there to the world here. Team Yan, you are that A girl named Yahe, and I am my younger sister Li Lili. We have all gone through such hurdles and made choices between darkness and light. But Dr. Yang...you know, he is really with us Not the same kind of people."

"If it's possible, I don't want him to go through such a hurdle for the rest of my life." Yan Junli strangled the cigarette butt under his feet vigorously, "But if he keeps going like this, sooner or later he will..."

If you want to pursue the light, you must first go deep into the darkness.Light and darkness have always been close twin sisters.The dividing line between justice and evil is sometimes so blurred that if you are not careful, you will fall off the cliff. In a city full of crime, those eyes that are plotting evil are revealed.And they rush towards the light and heat like moths to the flame without hesitation, even if they don't know whether the light really exists.

Early the next morning, when Yan Junli and Li Hong arrived at the manor, almost everyone had already arrived.Ma Xiangtao sat stiffly on the sofa without saying a word.Yu Yongyi served the tea symbolically, his lips pressed together tightly.The elderly Ge Tianlu was handcuffed by Yuan Chengze and sat very calmly.Meng Yinghua, who was dressed in black, turned his head away with a gloomy expression that didn't match his age.In the living room, Meng Yingjun and today's protagonist Yang Wenbin were alone.

"Where's Meng Yingjun?" Li Hong sat down on the sofa and asked.

"He's not comfortable staying in the upstairs room." Meng Yinghua said with a vigilant look on his face, "I guarantee that he's in the room. Will you consider him a murderer because of this?"

"No, of course not." Yan Junli said, looking around worriedly.Everyone has arrived, but why hasn't Yang Wenbin appeared yet?

"Why hasn't that damned doctor appeared yet?" Someone asked the question Yan Junli wanted to ask, although the tone was not friendly.Yuan Chengze shouted impatiently: "Is he trying to trick us again? You know last time he—"

Before Yuan Chengze finished speaking, Yang Wenbin's smooth voice wafted from the side of the corridor.He walked in the corridor, swept his five fingers over the historical portraits on the corridor, admiring them leisurely.

"Look at these portraits. They were made by famous masters and have a long history. The Rose County Manor and the self-proclaimed families from generation to generation, the heads of generations. They all have different appearances and different destinies. Their lives have been engraved into scrolls, until now Meng Yangping. Character determines destiny, and he is no exception. I know everyone here is anxiously waiting for me to name the murderer, but don't worry, let me tell a story first, a story from 14 years ago."

Yang Wenbin walked slowly through the long corridor, and just came to the living room when the last syllable of a paragraph fell.Everyone in the hall looked at him, some with anxiety, some with curiosity, and some clenched their fists nervously.

"We all know what kind of person Meng Yangping is now. He drinks heavily, has a bad temper, and has domestic violence, but he was not like this more than ten years ago. Ten years ago, he was rich, well-educated, like a A real gentleman. So he got the favor of a beautiful lady like Mei Qing, and the two of them fell in love soon. But the good times of this love did not last long, because not long after marriage, Mei Qing found herself Can't conceive a child. Mei Qing loves Meng Yangping so much, she desperately wants to continue her husband's offspring, and Meng Yangping also very much hopes that the history of the family can continue. But you must have noticed that the rose county manor was due to Its long-term closed life is almost out of touch with modern life. It could have been solved by going to a big hospital for an examination, but this couple insisted on conservative concepts, so it was not resolved for a long time. The pain of infertility has always been Tormenting Mei Qing, she began to become nervous under the double stimulation of longing and pressure. A woman's maternal love turned into a twisted desire, and she began to want her own child at all costs. Finally one day, she became An irreparable catastrophe, she killed a woman and took her twins as her own."

"What? It didn't mean that the children were adopted by them—" Li Hong cried out in shock, and was pushed again by Yan Junli before closing his mouth.

"That poor woman's name is Xu Shan, and she is Meng Yangping's underground lover. After Meng Yangping found out that Mei Qing was barren, the number of lovers increased, and Xu Shan just had sex with him. One of the several lovers on the bed. Unfortunately, this woman was unfortunately pregnant with Meng Yangping's child, and for some unknown reason, she decided to give birth to the child, a pair of lovely twins. One night, Xu Shan took the risk to find her lover with the child in her arms, but it happened that Mei Qing came to open the door. Mei Qing was already a little out of her mind at that time, she lost her mind when she saw the lovely twins, jealous, Desire and hatred overwhelmed her. Mei Qing killed Xu Shan without hesitation, and then carried out the twins from the pool of blood. Meng Yangping was terrified. The woman who was killed was his lover, and the child he carried was also his. He had to try his best to cover up all of this. So he spent a lot of money to seal the mouths of many people, making the society think she was missing."

"What? The twins are Xu Shan's children?" Yu Yongyi screamed.

But Yang Wenbin ignored Yu Yongyi, he paced slowly in the living room, his piercing eyes swept over everyone present.

"More than ten years have passed since that incident, and the life in the manor has undergone earth-shaking changes. In order to keep his mouth shut and cover up the truth, Meng Yangping took out more than half of his family property. The family's life became more and more difficult, and Mei Qing's illness did not cause any serious problems. The family’s disintegration began at that time. Meng Yangping vented his full of grievances on the twins. At first he just beat and scolded them, but gradually, he, who had already been corrupted in his heart, beat and scolded the twins. I got pleasure, and developed a desire for Meng Yingjun, who has a cute appearance and a lively personality."

"Desire!?" Yan Junli couldn't help interrupting him, "You mean, that—desire?"

Yang Wenbin nodded slowly but surely: "Meng Yangping has a bad temper, and his sexual hobbies are also very weird. I don't think there is anything surprising even if he is a pedophile. After he attacked his own son, he knew what he was doing once. I am afraid that this is already an open secret in this family, and everyone knows it. Except...Meng Yingjun himself. He is too young to accept this fact. When the body and mind are greatly hurt, In order to keep the body functioning normally, human beings will choose to escape or forget to protect themselves. And this is what Meng Yingjun subconsciously chooses. The more hurt he suffers, the more thoroughly he escapes. Gradually, all these dark, negative My memories and emotions are all brought together to form another personality, that is, a dual personality.”

"Let's call them the handsome on the sunny side and the handsome on the dark side. The sunny handsome doesn't know what happened to the dark handsome, but his body has that kind of memory. When someone touches his body, he will subconsciously Screaming and resisting. That's why he had that exaggerated reaction when I accidentally touched the back of handsome man's neck yesterday." Yang Wenbin turned around to look at the people in the living room, his tone mixed with anger, " You all know this, but no one dares to resist Meng Yangping, no one wants to save this child!"

Yang Wenbin stared at the adults standing still in the living room, but no one made a sound, and Ma Xiangtao even deliberately turned his head away to avoid sight.

How can these people be so indifferent?In an instant, a wave of despair swept over Yang Wenbin.

"Then let us talk about you first, Ma Xiangtao!" Yang Wenbin pointed out his name.

"What? Me?" Ma Xiangtao immediately screamed, "What does it have to do with me!"

"Please tell me again, what were you doing the night Meng Yangping and Mei Qing were killed?" Yang Wenbin asked.

"I...stay in my room..." Ma Xiangtao said tremblingly, "...yes, I'm sleeping..."

"The first half of the sentence is right, but the second half is a lie!" Yang Wenbin sneered, "You are not sleeping, you are awake, watching the killing show. You must have seen it, otherwise you would not have concealed the truth. Because You were one of the insiders back then. You knew that Xu Shan was not missing, but was killed by Mei Qing. Years later, you used this incident to blackmail Meng Yangping. Of course, you have your own reasons for doing so. You have a child in City A, a boy, only 12 years old. You divorced your husband four years ago, and the court awarded the child to your ex-husband, but your ex-husband was not good to the child, and there was not enough money for him Live a good life. You want to help your child, so you need money. Your child has an account in his name, and every year there will be an anonymous account, and a sum of money will be sent, and there is no doubt that it was sealed by Meng Yangping Fee. You must have forced him to set up automatic remittance, so that as long as he doesn’t cancel the setting, your child will get a sum of money every year. But it’s different now. You saw Meng Yangping was killed, but everyone thought they were Missing. So you think that as long as you don't tell the truth, stop the police investigation and you will get that money indefinitely, it's ridiculous."

Ma Xiangtao covered his mouth, weeping silently, and lowered his head.

"Then we should talk about you." Yang Wenbin's gaze turned directly to Yu Yongyi.Yu Yongyi jumped up from the sofa and immediately argued: "It has nothing to do with me! I am innocent!"

"You're not!" Yang Wenbin said sharply, "Your name isn't even Yu Yongyi. You buried your old identity, changed your name and changed your surname to sneak into this family. Xu Xingyan, does this name sound familiar? Yes, it does. Yes! You are Xu Shan's biological brother, the brother of that poor woman who was murdered by Mei Qingduozi 14 years ago. You have been tracking down for 14 years, trying to find out the real reason for your sister's disappearance. Finally you found here , you made up a pseudonym and came to this house as a servant. But you are still not sure about the facts. Mei Qing is already crazy, and Meng Yangping is very tight-lipped. You have been staying for two years, but you have not found anything until recently .Maybe you overheard something, maybe you found some evidence, and finally you determined the truth. You took revenge at the hands of a child, but you didn’t know that child—the two children were your sister’s own flesh and blood. "

Yu Yongyi clenched his lips and stopped talking.

"Children?" Yuan Chengze asked tentatively, "Could it be twins..."

Finally, Yang Wenbin took a deep breath, and shifted his gaze to Meng Yinghua who was always silent.

"When Meng Yingjun himself didn't know that he was being violated, and everyone in the manor turned a blind eye to it all, the one who wanted to protect his younger brother the most was his elder brother. You tried everything you could to save him, but you just You are a child and can't do anything. You have had the intention to kill Meng Yangping long ago, but you have never had the chance and courage. You may not know that when you are struggling and unwilling, there is a person who is always watching you in the dark, observing Looking at you, he wanted to use your hand to kill someone, and he finally pushed you one last time. This person is Yu Yongyi. Yu Yongyi wanted to avenge his sister, but shamelessly did not want to dirty his own Hand. You must remember, Yinghua. On that day, as usual, Yu Yongyi was assigned to look after the two of you, but he called you out alone, pretending to be in great pain, and talked to you about Meng Yingjun. "

"'I heard that the master went to drink again today, and I'm afraid the master is going to Master Oliver again...'

"'The handsome young master has been in pain. When he woke up the next day, he didn't know how the scars on his body came from, but he didn't dare to tell you because he was afraid that you would worry...'"

Yang Wenbin lowered his eyes and narrated calmly: "These words must have aroused your deep pain. One night, you were woken up by someone, but you couldn't see anyone when you opened your eyes. You walked out of the room and stood on the second floor. In the corridor upstairs, the terrifying scene of Meng Yangping’s rape and handsomeness greeted your eyes. You couldn’t bear it anymore, you quietly walked down the stairs, and for some reason there happened to be a very sharp kitchen knife on the dining table, you picked it up It was aimed at Meng Yangping's head with a knife. He lost his wallet and pocket watch during the struggle, and you cut him twice before killing him. Meng Yingjun fainted, and you were thinking about how to dispose of the body in fear , the crazy Mei Qing rushed at you from the room, and you had to fight back in self-defense, and killed Mei Qing by mistake. We all know the rest, you buried the body in the garden overnight. And Meng Yingjun the next day After waking up, I still don't remember anything."

Meng Yinghua's eyes were empty and she didn't say a word.

"And you, Yu Yongyi." Yang Wenbin's eyes were full of anger, "You instigated a child to commit a crime! You took care of the twins and had the best relationship with them, and you knew that Yinghua would believe everything you said In other words, you sharpen the kitchen knife to be extremely sharp, then put it within his reach, and wake him up at the right time, then you can watch this murderous show leisurely, with a pure child soul as a price."

"But I... I don't know!" Yu Yongyi finally collapsed under Yang Wenbin's attack, he hugged his head tightly and cried loudly, "I didn't know it was your child, my God, sister, I didn't know that It's your child!"

Amidst Yu Yongyi's collapsed cries, Yang Wenbin's voice sounded mercilessly again: "Meng Yingjun killed Meng Yangping and Mei Qing, dragged their bodies and buried them shallowly in the back garden. Then who put the corpses in the back garden?" It was dug out and buried under the farther bell tower?"

"It was me." Before Yang Wenbin could finish speaking, Ge Tianlu interrupted him calmly, "I was the one who moved Master and Madam to the bell tower."

"Grandpa Ge!" Meng Yinghua shouted.

"I know that it was Young Master Yinghua who killed the master and his wife, because I didn't go to buy furniture that day, but drove the master to the nightclub. I also brought him back after the master was drunk. It's just that I noticed the The rosebushes were withered, so I stayed in the courtyard for a while and didn't go in with my lord. But when I looked back I saw everything. The horror, the blood, it was the worst thing I've ever seen in my life... But I can't Let the young masters be arrested, they have the blood of the old family, they are the heirs. I have worked for this estate for decades, I can't let it fall like this. I dug up the bodies and put them away I moved far away to the clock tower. I was too old and too stupid to think that no one knew about it, and that I could save everything by hiding it like this..."

"Grandpa Ge! Stop talking!" Meng Yinghua stood up abruptly, his immature face was full of sadness and despair that did not belong to his age, "I did it, I did everything, I killed me Parents... stop trying to hide it, it's the truth, I hate them, I want to kill them, I... I did everything."

Meng Yinghua's voice became smaller and smaller until she was muttering to herself.Suddenly, he took out a fruit knife from his pocket and shouted at the crowd:
"I killed two people, I can kill more! Anyone want to try?"

This move shocked everyone present into a cold sweat, and Yang Wenbin even rushed over to stop him: "Calm down! Yinghua, put down the knife!"

"Stay away from me! Don't come close!" Meng Yinghua waved the fruit knife vigorously, driving away Yang Wenbin who was trying to get close to him. Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes. "I know that my crime is unforgivable. This manor is cursed." Yes, no one can save it, and no one can save us! I hate this place, I have hated this place all my life! I don't regret killing that disgusting man, and I don't regret protecting my brother!"

"Yinghua, don't do stupid things!" Yan Junli also stood up from the sofa and yelled at the boy, "Listen, things are not that bad, you can put down the knife first, and then we can talk..."

At this moment, there was a loud "bang" from upstairs, followed by a loud shout.

"Meng Yingjun! Enough!"

The door upstairs was knocked open, and a boy with a handsome face staggered out of the room. He was almost carved out of the same mold as the boy downstairs, and his body was not standing very firmly. It seems that I will fall down at any time.

"Impossible...the effect of the sleeping pills should not have passed." The boy with the fruit knife in his hand was stunned and muttered to himself.

"What the hell is going on?" Yuan Chengze muttered to himself.

"This is not Meng Yinghua..." Yang Wenbin suddenly realized something, and he took a step back as if shocked, "This is Meng Yingjun. The one sitting here listening to the truth has always been Meng Yingjun!"

Chapter 13 The Fallen Angel

The twins are so different in personality that it is often forgotten how similar their faces are.

"I know what you want to do..." Meng Yinghua walked towards the living room step by step while holding the handrail of the stairs. No one spoke, and the mansion was eerily quiet, only his voice could be heard.

"I know you already know, I know you will know sooner or later, but I didn't think that you would want to bear the sins in my place. Handsome, don't be like this, I am your brother, you should... be protected by me, if You just left me to die, so what's the point of everything I do?"

Meng Yingjun's hand waving the knife was trembling, and finally he let go, and the fruit knife fell to the ground with a "ding". The boy covered his face and sobbed, and sat on the ground:

"... I remembered, I remembered everything... What my father forced me to do, he touched me with dirty hands! I know, I saw everything that night! My brother took a kitchen knife and pointed at me. That demon had a knife in the head, and blood spattered out, staining his hands. Everyone was watching! My brother had his back to the stairs, so he couldn't see it. But I saw it, Ma Xiangtao was in her room, teasing Open the curtains to watch; Yu Yongyi is in the kitchen, watching coldly; Grandpa Ge is in the middle pavilion, he is watching through the door curtain... Watching! Watching! Watching! Everyone is watching, coldly , watching without emotion! I can't bear it! I forget everything as usual, but I know that one day I will remember everything. I owe it to my brother, I owe him my life..."

"Stop talking!" Meng Yinghua ran forward, hugged his younger brother, and held him tightly in his arms, "It's not your fault! You didn't do anything wrong, so you haven't committed any crimes! You don't owe me anything! I am your brother, and it is my duty to protect you."

Meng Yingjun curled his whole body into Meng Yinghua's embrace, while Meng Yinghua resolutely turned his head to face the people in the living room.

"I don't regret killing that bastard. He deserved to die when we were born! And you, you, you, you!" Meng Yinghua pointed at Ma Xiangtao, Yu Yongyi and Ge Tianlu with desperate resentment in his voice. "Damn you too!"

"Yinghua! Calm down!" Yang Wenbin yelled at the twins, but it was useless.

Meng Yingjun suddenly laughed in Meng Yinghua's arms, his laughter was as clear and sweet as a silver bell.

"Brother, do you remember that story?"

"Which story?" Meng Yinghua lowered her head and asked softly.

"When we were young, Brother Yu always told us stories. There is one story that I like the most." Meng Yingjun raised his head, with innocent yearning in his big eyes,

"The two children were abandoned by their parents and they got lost in the forest. The stepmother said: 'We are too poor to support these two children.' The couple threw the children in the forest, but the clever The elder brother threw stones along the way, and the two brothers returned home following the marks made by the stones. The stepmother said: "This time, we must make sure they cannot come back." At night, the elder brother wanted to pick up small stones, but the door was locked On the next day, they were thrown into the forest again, and they had to use bread instead of pebbles, and spread it along the road. Unexpectedly, the bread was eaten up by the birds. They were sleepy and hungry in the forest, Until I saw a candy house."

"I didn't expect the candy house to be the place where the bad witch lived, and she arrested the two brothers." Meng Yinghua smiled and continued Meng Yingjun's story, "Just when the elder brother was about to be eaten, the younger brother bravely took the bad witch The witch pushed it into the boiling water."

"The bad witch was killed by the brothers who worked together, and they finally returned home safely!" Meng Yingjun laughed happily, "Brother, we have defeated the bad witch!"

The story of the two children seemed to have an inexplicable attraction, and everyone listened with bated breath, almost immersed in the beautiful and sad stories of the children.

"What smell?" Yan Junli frowned, and said suddenly, "Do you smell anything?"

Li Hong stood up abruptly: "It smells like burning! Is there a fire somewhere?"

"what?"

"It's from the restaurant!"

Before he could make any movement, the flames suddenly shot up, burning from the old tablecloth all the way to the living room floor.

"He knocked over the candlestick!" Yang Wenbin yelled, "Yinghua deliberately knocked over the candlestick when he went downstairs! The floor of the old house was all waxed!"

"What nonsense are you talking about, it's important to save the children quickly!" Yuan Chengze still showed his duty as a policeman at the critical moment. He rushed forward heroically, but was forced back by the heat wave.

The twins closest to the fire source were quickly surrounded by the fire. In the distorted air, two people could be vaguely seen holding each other's hands and singing softly:
"Let's go, angel of the world. Come with us to the unknown dreamland.

There are sweets and sweet dreams, and little fairies in a circle.

Flowers will surround you, and the wind will caress your face.

Come on, child of the world.

Everyone in heaven loves you so much..."

"Hurry up and find a way to put out the fire!" Yan Junli roared.

But the scene was out of control.Ma Xiangtao screamed and wanted to escape from the house, but was smashed by a burning beam. She struggled desperately, and in the confusion, she tightly grasped the ankle of Yu Yongyi who was fleeing. .

"Let go of me! Let go of me, you bitch!" Yu Yongyi stepped on Ma Xiangtao's hand fiercely, trying to break free.

"No! I won't let you out if I can't live!" Ma Xiangtao said fiercely, "We can't escape the curse of this manor, and you are no exception!"

Ge Tianlu stood silently, looking up at the decayed and moldy roof of the old house, not planning to escape, nor planning to fight the fire.

"Run! It's too late!" Li Hong shouted.

"No! The twins are still inside!" Yang Wenbin shouted in despair, rushing desperately into the flames.

"Do you fucking want to die! Come back to me!" Yan Junli was furious, and desperately grabbed Yang Wenbin, "We can't save them anymore!"

"But they are just children!" Yang Wenbin shouted heartbreakingly.

With one arm, Yan Junli hugged Yang Wenbin completely, and a donkey rolled and broke through the fire wall.

"Captain Yan! Doctor Yang! Are you all right?" Li Hong stepped forward immediately.

Yan Junli put Yang Wenbin down, panted and waved his hands.

"Who else hasn't come out?" Yuan Chengze asked anxiously.

Almost as soon as Yuan Chengze finished speaking, the whole house collapsed due to burning, and the choking smoke drifted far away.

"It seems that only the four of us came out." Yang Wenbin muttered to himself.

In the distance, the singing of twins seemed to float in the air.

After the case of the Rose County Manor ended, Yang Wenbin and the others stayed there for about a week. On the one hand, Yan Junli and Li Hong had to write a report and submit it to City C, and on the other hand, they were also retained by the police in City B as witnesses. Take notes.

It took the local police several days to clear the remains of the old house, and the century-old manor was easily burned in a fire.A sad atmosphere permeated the three of them all the time, and Yang Wenbin even stayed silent for several days, as if unable to escape from the shadow of the incident.

"I've heard the whole story."

Yang Wenbin turned his head abruptly, and at some point Poppy quietly stood by his door.

"It has nothing to do with you." Yang Wenbin turned his head away again.

"I'm sorry to hear this ending, but Dr. Yang, it's really not your fault." Poppy walked towards Yang Wenbin, putting her hands on the back of his chair lightly, "After all, they are just strangers, you There's no need to be so hard on yourself."

"Strangers?" Yang Wenbin looked at Poppy suddenly, with anger in his eyes, "Of course, they are nothing to you, but they are just—"

"I heard." Poppy calmly interrupted Yang Wenbin, "I heard that when the police cleaned up the scene, they only found three corpses."

"What?" Yang Wenbin was taken aback.

"In other words, the police did not find the bodies of the twins." Poppy said softly.

"But so what." Yang Wenbin lowered his eyelids again, "We all saw with our own eyes that they were trapped in the raging fire. It was impossible for them to escape from such a big fire."

"Isn't that good?" Poppy said with a smile. "You know, maybe they just went back to heaven. These two children, they were angels who fell from heaven."

"Do you believe this?" Yang Wenbin asked suspiciously.

"Of course not. But human beings sometimes need to fabricate some lies to comfort themselves. Otherwise, this world is so dark, how can we survive in it?" Poppy stood up straight, "I just came to remind you, you You won't really forget more important things, will you?"

Yang Wenbin was startled: "Joker?"

Poppy nodded, and slid her mobile phone from the table to him: "Last night, I used the key you gave me to log in to the dark web of the Clown Organization."

"Have you boarded?" Yang Wenbin asked immediately.

"Yes, I have logged in. But that website has been empty." Poppy shook her head, "There is nothing left for us. Users, data, and even browsing traces have all been cleared."

"How could this happen!" The hope that had just been ignited in Yang Wenbin's eyes was shattered again.

"They are a group of very vigilant people, and this result is not unexpected at all. But they still left a message on that website, I think it is for you." Poppy motioned Yang Wenbin to look at the phone screen.

The screen is all white, with only one line of bold black information and a character painting that looks like a clown——

Congratulations, you won this game!But you also killed five people.

You are not a hero.You are just a murderer.

Enjoy the calm before the storm.Don't worry, our game hasn't started yet.
