Serious Case Tracking

Chapter 19 The Truth of Tragedy (2)
"It seems that you have checked my history very clearly." Feng Yao said, "I really didn't expect that Wei Qiuyuan would be responsible for Yugui's death back then, and he kept this secret for decades. In order to cover up the truth, he even killed Hu Liang and his wife, the only village head who knew the inside story. I really never thought that a person who has been in bed with me for so many years is actually a murderous demon. He killed Yugui, and in Yugui After Gui's death, he still acted like a kind and considerate old man to care about me and please my family. If it wasn't for him, Yugui would not have died back then, and I would not have been able to marry him. At the moment when Hu Zhendong smashed him to death with the hammer, I actually felt a feeling of ecstasy, I even wished I could rush up, grab the hammer and smash this hypocritical demon to death with my own hands."

Having said that, Feng Yao finally became a little excited from the calmness at the beginning. It seems that Wei Qiuyuan's deception has really hurt her very much.

"Wei Xiluo is actually Sun Yugui's son, right?"

"Yes, we had a relationship one night three months before Yugui's death. At that time, Yugui didn't know that she had cancer. After that night, we began to discuss marriage, but later found out that Yugui's My body was getting worse day by day. At that time, I knew that I was pregnant. After knowing the result, Yugui and I were very happy, and finally we could use this as an excuse to persuade my family not to force me to marry Wei Qiuyuan. , but who knew that Yugui left before he even had time to look at the child's face. Wei Qiuyuan came to my house every day to comfort me after Yugui's death, and he was very kind to my family, so my family took the opportunity to marry me Wei Qiuyuan, on the one hand, because they are really satisfied with Wei Qiuyuan, the future son-in-law, after all, he is rich; Pregnancy can be regarded as a shameless thing that makes the whole family lose face."

"Then Wei Qiuyuan didn't know that you were pregnant when you married him?"

"He's not stupid, of course he knows, after all, the child was born 3 months prematurely, but he had already become the village head at that time, so naturally he didn't want to publicize this matter, if people know that the wife he married gave birth to a rival If he is a child, this matter will undoubtedly become the laughing stock of the villagers, and the prestige he has built up in the village with great difficulty will also disappear. At that time, he will no longer have the face to sit in the position of village chief. So When he asked me the truth of the matter, I didn't hide it from him. It would be a big deal. Anyway, I didn't want to marry him. But after weighing the pros and cons, for his own face, he finally chose not to marry me. Divorce, on the contrary, will be more caring for me in the days to come. His purpose is very simple, that is, he hopes that I can truly give birth to a child for him. It is ridiculous to say that Beigui was born entirely to preserve Xiluo. Ah!" Feng Yao smiled coldly, that kind of coldness is a kind of desolate coldness emanating from the bottom of her heart, "Before I plan to return to the north for Wei Qiuyuan, I have an agreement with him that no matter what happens in the future, Everyone must treat Xiluo as his own child, if not, I will publish the entire agreement with him and make him lose face. Of course he knows that I am planning for Xiluo's future. But there is no way, he can only agree in the end, it can be said that the birth of Beigui is just to pave the way for Xiluo's future, although I know it is unfair to Beigui, but there is no way, for the sake of Yugui and me My flesh and blood can have a bright future, that's all I can do."

"What about Wei Xiluo? It seems that he knows the truth of the matter, right?"

"Yes! But he didn't know the truth until the night I killed Wei Yannan. That night I sent Xiluo and Beigui home to rest, saying that Wei Qiuyuan's first seven days should be guarded by me alone, but The child Xiluo was worried that I would not be able to bear it by staying up all night alone, so he turned back again. However, he saw me sneaking out of the house, so he followed me out of curiosity, and witnessed the whole process of me killing Wei Yannan. I killed them to prevent them from competing for inheritance, but when he heard the truth I said, he was shocked. Then, in order to protect me, before you came to investigate us, he called Beigui and told him If the police come to investigate our whereabouts that night, they will say that the three of us stayed in the mourning hall to watch for Wei Qiuyuan that night, because if we tell the police that we sleep at our respective homes at night, the police will definitely become suspicious. If the police want to take us out of the village to investigate , then no one will get the inheritance. After hearing this, Beigui immediately agreed. Later, in order not to arouse the suspicion of your police, he made up and directed a bitter plan of his own, trying to divert your police The line of sight makes you mistakenly think that the murderer is going to kill them all, so that you won't suspect me."

"What about killing Wei Beigui?"

"The most innocent thing about this whole thing is Beigui! I can only say that I'm sorry for him. He shouldn't have come to this world because of my selfishness." Feng Yao shook her head in pain and helplessly, "If Beigui If Gui is not dead, then part of the inheritance must be given to him in the end. If Xiluo swallowed the inheritance by himself, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of your police, so there is no way, we can only find a way to kill Beigui, I don't want The inheritance falls into the hands of anyone related to Wei Qiuyuan, and I will never allow it to be ruined by Wei Qiuyuan's prodigal sons. Although Beigui is my own, I gave birth to him only to protect Xiluo, and now I sacrifice him for To protect Xiluo, so I have to kill him to get the best benefit for Xiluo, because he is the flesh and blood of Yugui and me, and since Yugui is gone, I must let our children live better, and It can be regarded as my confession to Yugui, not to mention that the money Wei Qiuyuan earned was bought by the villagers and Yugui with their lives. He and his family should not have these properties. He has a father who is worse than a beast."

"But what I didn't expect was that in order to protect you, Xiluo would do it himself in advance."

"I killed him!" Feng Yao covered her face with her hands and choked up. Although the words were simple, they revealed incomparable sadness and remorse.

"Actually, the secret of 'Birds Returning to the Nest' is to tell people to quit gambling, right?" Meng Shaohui suddenly changed the subject and asked.

"How do you know?" Feng Yao asked in surprise, wiping away the tears on her cheeks.

"I also guessed, because Hu Zhendong once heard from Wei Qiuyuan that he has long since looked down on the secret of finding the 'Bird Returning'. According to the hints in the poem "Nest", I studied those Buddhist scriptures and learned a lot of life principles from them. I did some irreparable mistakes for some interests. Now it seems that wealth is like floating clouds! Once a person dies, Everything he had before his death was turned into dust, so he hoped that his children would also realize these principles, stop gambling and live a normal life. So I was wondering if the "Birds Returning to the Nest" It's not a secret, it's just been passed down from generation to generation to exaggerate the mystery."

"That's right! That's how people are. The simpler a thing is, the less people will believe it. They would rather complicate things than believe the simple truth. In fact, the secret of 'Birds Returning to Their Nests' is just like what you said, police officer. and I already knew these things."

"How did you know this long ago?" Meng Shaohui asked curiously.

"It was Yugui who told me. In fact, Yugui is the descendant of Sun Fei who left the secret of 'birds returning to their nests' in the village back then. The secret of 'birds returning to their nests' has been passed down from generation to generation in his family, but It is not allowed to tell outsiders, because even if it is told, no one will believe it, so it is better to make it mysterious on purpose and let those people find it by themselves, so that when the mystery is solved, people's memory will be stronger. Profound." Feng Yao recalled.

Afterwards, out of curiosity, Meng Shaohui went to check the historical materials about Sun Fei, but unfortunately, there were no historical records at all. After all, this is a completely unremarkable unofficial history, but one thing is certain is that Sun Fei is a good man.

The sparrows return to their nests—the holy monk takes the scriptures from the west, and saves all the common people in the world.In fact, judging from the poem left by Sun Fei back then, it is not a five-character quatrain or a seven-character verse. In the village where everyone made a living by mahjong, it became a mysterious poem.

The first three lines of the poem obviously draw people's attention to the Buddhist scriptures, while the last line "Hundred sparrows return to their nests to turn riches and honor", Meng Shaohui thinks is enough to express Sun Fei's intention in writing this doggerel back then.

If Baique means more than a hundred mahjong tiles, then returning to the nest can be regarded as a box containing mahjong tiles. Naturally, you will be rich. As the saying goes, "Small gambles make you happy, but big gambles hurt your family."

Just like what Feng Yao said, people are like this, the simpler things are, the less people believe them, they would rather complicate things than believe the simple truth, in the case of Sparrow Village, this sentence was also echoed talk.

If Wei Qiuyuan didn't hide the truth about the villagers' cancer because of his own self-interest, but boldly announced the truth to the public to find a solution, I believe it would not have caused the tragic situation of today's ruined families. It was originally very simple. One thing, but he made it extremely complicated by himself, and he had to swallow the final evil result. I have to say that this is really a tragedy that should not have happened.
