Chapter 74: The Answer

~7 min read 1,298 words

When he finished this sentence, the scene fell silent.

When he saw everyone's scrutinizing eyes staring at him sharply, he realized he had let something slip.

Zhong Kui straightened up and looked down at He Zhixin, who was paralyzed on the ground: "You know, Old Yu never walked out of Guiyue Apartment."

Only then did He Zhixin know that Zhong Kui's words were full of traps, and she already knew the answers to all the questions.

Qi Fei took out the list Zhong Kui had handed him before and threw it in front of He Zhixin:

"This is the water bill list for Guiyue Apartment in the month Old Yu went missing six years ago. It used one ton more water than other months, and the payer filled in below is you. After Old Yu went missing, you kindly offered to collect water and electricity bills on behalf of Old Yu. As long as you tell others that the water and electricity bills shared by individuals this month are no different from usual, no one will discover this abnormality. However, as a criminal police officer, I can responsibly tell you that after a person goes missing, this abnormal water consumption is often inseparable from murder and dismemberment."

"Fortunately, during the time Old Yu went missing, you were just in the bachelor stage; your wife was dead, and your son was abroad. No one cared what you were doing. That day, you spent a long time, right? To cut all the bones and meat to the extent that they could be flushed into the sewer, and there couldn't be too much movement." Zhong Kui said, as if suddenly realizing, "Oh, I remember, before you retired, you were from the pork shop of the Guomao Company. For others, it's very difficult, but for you who kill pork every day, this is a piece of cake."

After hearing Zhong Kui's words, everyone in Guiyue Apartment was scared pale, especially Zhou Li, who stammered: "Lao He, what she said is not true, you tell her quickly, what she said is not true!"

Zhong Kui looked at Zhou Li coldly: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but marrying you was also part of his plan. When he made up his mind to get rid of everyone, he was already preparing for his escape. Old Yu, this bachelor, was the perfect ultimate scapegoat. However, his persona of being such a good friend with Old Yu and also being a bachelor was not safe. Having a partner who is with him day and night, He Zhixin, this neighbor who is the most 'just' and 'enthusiastic' besides Old Yu, could perfectly avoid suspicion time and time again. I think when you first met, you told him that you had a fixed exercise habit."

"You run away from home at a fixed time after dinner, rain or shine, which gave him great convenience. It's a pity, cleverness is mistaken by cleverness; things are planned too specifically and too finely, and there will always be opportunities to show flaws.

The first time you were bullied by Yue Fengsheng, He Zhixin came to save you immediately. Why did he disappear the second time you were hit by a bicycle? According to your regular living habits, he should have been washing dishes in the kitchen at that time. Through the north-facing window, he could completely see you being entangled by the bicycle, and could even hear your shouting. But he seemed completely unaware of what had happened."

"Hmph, because the person who hit you was He Zhixin. He had to create the illusion that Yue Fengsheng was making trouble unreasonably and you were returning evil with good. Of course, this is also a primary psychological trick. He deliberately showed that torn red jacket. He knew that before long, Xiao You's Uncle Long-Legs would become the focus of police investigation, and this person was obviously targeting your He family, as if you were not only harassed by Yue Fengsheng, but also framed by that hidden murderer. I have to say, I have to say, this strategy of self-sacrifice and abandoning the car to save the handsome really confused our investigation direction! After all, we are also human, and this kind of small flaw that looks small successfully distracted our attention." Zhou Li was asked until she was speechless and looked at He Zhixin for help.

But He Zhixin's eyes avoided her. Even a fool knew the answer.

Zhong Kui continued to speak, turning to face He Zhixin, who was paralyzed on the ground, "However, you forgot that a detailed plan requires superhuman thinking layout. Obviously, you are not. The biggest flaw is that in order to create a loving husband persona, you deliberately acted in front of me and Qi Fei that night. You saw me and Qi Fei chatting on the small bridge from the back window of your house, so you deliberately brought Zhou Li's coat over, saying you were waiting for your wife to finish exercising. Of course, this was just an excuse, the purpose was to tell us about Old Yu and Ai Lili eloping, so that we would focus our suspicion on Old Yu, the locksmith. But you didn't expect that Old Yu's physiological defects were not only told to you, but Chang Hui also knew. Of course, this is no wonder you. A ten-year murder plan, the timeline is too long. Sometimes walking too far, you will forget the previous road. You forgot, Old Yu couldn't have any illicit relationship with Ai Lili. That night, you told us with certainty that his relationship with Ai Lili was not simple. Besides misleading the investigation, could there be a second reason?"

"Oh, by the way..." Zhong Kui gave Meng Apo a look, "Put that thing on him."

Meng Apo understood and took out a black silk stocking.

At this time, Zhou Li didn't know what was happening at all: "This, is this the silk stocking I lost? Could it be that you stole it too, Lao He?! That pervert..." Zhou Li had begun to speak incoherently.

No one answered her. Meng Apo walked straight to He Zhixin. At this time, He Zhixin, who was weak all over, couldn't even handle an old woman. After struggling weakly, he finally put on the black silk stocking under Meng Apo's rough operation.

The moment he put it on, Xiao You immediately shouted in a childish voice: "Uncle Long-Legs!" As he spoke, he broke free from Lv Xiuxia's arms and rushed onto He Zhixin. The child didn't understand what kind of cruel situation the scene was at this time.

The child's childish little hand touched the back of He Zhixin's hand, affectionately muttering: "Uncle Long-Legs, I miss you so much."

At this point, He Zhixin's psychological defense collapsed completely at this moment.

"At first, I couldn't figure out why Uncle Long-Legs was always a cluster of pitch-black lines in Xiao You's painting, without a face. Until I heard Zhao Xiaozhen mention that Zhou Li's black silk stockings were missing. I think the person who disguised himself as Uncle Long-Legs must be someone Xiao You knows, and needs something to cover his face to prevent being recognized. You saw Zhou Li telling Xiao You the story of Uncle Long-Legs, which gave you inspiration. In order to achieve your goal, even a four-year-old child became your tool. Lao He, you have gone too far to turn back," Zhong Kui's voice came, piercing through that thin layer of black silk, hitting He Zhixin's already blackened soul.

At this time, Zhou Li, who was listening on the side, couldn't help it anymore, snatched the black silk stocking headgear off He Zhixin's head, and questioned loudly: "What exactly are you doing this for?!" ===== CHAPTER 75 =====
