Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 138 Silencing
Ah Ping hurriedly helped Chu Wangshan sit down on the chair, and Chao Lu went forward to feel his pulse.

Seeing Chaolu's serious expression, Yan Ciwan couldn't help but ask, "Is Master Chu seriously ill?"

Chaolu let go of Chu Wangshan's wrist. It was inconvenient for her to discuss the patient's condition in front of so many people. She could only pull Yan Ciwan aside and speak to him in a low voice.

"Master Chu is suffering from lung disease. This disease is not as contagious as ordinary tuberculosis, but it will erode the lungs little by little. Now Master Chu's condition is very serious, and his lungs are almost necrotic. Even a god cannot cure him."

Yan Ciwan asked: "How long can he live?"

Chaolu pursed her lips, estimated in her mind, and then gave a conservative number.

"At most half a month."

Yan Ci Wan secretly wondered whether Chu Wangshan knew about this?
Chaolu took out the needle bag she carried with her and gave Chu Wangshan acupuncture. After a while, Chu Wangshan slowly woke up.

He felt weak and in a very bad mood.

Yan Ciwan asked tentatively: "Do you know that you are very ill?"

Chu Wangshan weakly raised his eyes to look at her and said weakly: "I know that I don't have much time left."

Yan Ciwan immediately asked, "Then why are you still unwilling to tell the truth? Do you want to take the truth to your grave?"

Chu Wangshan started coughing again, and A Ping brought him some medicinal tea to moisten his lungs and relieve his cough.

After drinking the medicinal tea, Chu Wangshan felt his throat felt a little better.

"What truth is there? The fire at Lingdie Temple was an accident. The government investigated it carefully at the time. If there were any clues, the government would have started investigating long ago. How could they close the case as an accident? The real culprit behind the scenes is making a fuss about something that happened 20 years ago. He is actually deliberately confusing people. Don't let him lead you by the nose."

He paused here and turned to Si Buping.

"I'm tired and want to go back to Ruixue Tower to rest for a while. I'll have to trouble the Grand Master to help me track down the real culprit."

Si Buping nodded slightly and responded: "Yes."

A Ping carefully helped Chu Wangshan to stand up, and the master and servant left Guanhai Pavilion.

Later, He Chunzhuo and others also said goodbye.

Yan Ciwan immediately said: "You can't leave for the time being. Lian Banshan and Huang Yefei died in an unclear manner. In order to find out the truth, we need your cooperation in the investigation."

Sun Hu was very annoyed: "Are you doubting us?!"

Yan Ciwan said calmly, "The mountain is covered in snow, so the murderer cannot leave Mengdie Villa. He is very likely hiding among you and me. Xiao Liulang, Chaolu and I have proven our innocence. Now, among all the people here, excluding the three of us, the rest are suspects."

"Bullshit! Brother Wu and I are Ah Fei's uncles. Ah Fei is a child we watched grow up. We treat him like our own son. How could we be so cruel as to kill him?!"

When Sun Hu said this, he turned his head and looked at the three people from Changming Chamber of Commerce and said viciously.

"Yesterday it was our Ah Fei who died, and today it was Sister Zhuifang's brother who was murdered. Now only the three people from Changming Chamber of Commerce are still alive and well. The murderer must be hiding among them!"

Lian Zhuifang looked at He Chunzhuo, Zhou Qi, and Fang Zhiyou who were standing not far away, and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Is it really you?"

Fang Zhiyou hurriedly explained: "Of course not! We have no motive to kill Lian Bantian and Huang Yefei. Even if we really want to kill someone, we will not dig up what happened twenty years ago. It will not do us any good!" Lian Zhuifang was skeptical.

Xiao Wang suddenly spoke up: "Maybe someone among you is afraid that the secret will be revealed, so he wants to kill you all in the name of revenge. After all, human hearts are hard to predict. Who knows whether you are a human or a ghost?"

Fang Zhiyou immediately understood the other party's sinister intentions and warned: "Xiao Liulang, don't try to sow discord here. We won't fall for your trick!"

Xiao Wang smiled faintly and asked calmly, "Why are you so anxious? Could it be that I hit the nail on the head?"

Fang Zhiyou had completely lost the gentleness and harmlessness he usually displayed. His face sank and his eyes became extremely vicious.

"Since you have nothing to do with this matter, why do you still want to meddle in it? Could it be that you are an accomplice of the real murderer?"

Xiao Wang said slowly: "Now my friends and I are in the villa. A serial murder case has occurred in the villa. One of my friends was almost poisoned. I want to catch the real murderer to protect the safety of myself and my friends. What's the problem with this?"

Fang Zhiyou glanced at Yan Ciwan and Chaolu, and deliberately said in a malicious tone: "What kind of friend is worthy of your attention? It seems that Huang Yefei is right, Xiao Liulang, you are very lucky!"

Xiao Wang knew that the other party was deliberately using these words to provoke him to anger, but he did not fall for it and his expression remained calm and indifferent.

"If you are truly innocent, you should cooperate with our investigation, otherwise people will die every day for the next eight days."

When he said this, he glanced at the other people and his voice became low and solemn.

"I guess you all don't want to be the next victim, right?"

Then I realized that there was no one saying anything.

The rest of the people were also silent.

After a moment of dead silence, Lian Zhuifang suddenly stood up. She looked at Xiao Wang with her tear-swollen eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "As long as you can find the real murderer, I will tell you the whole truth about Lingdie Temple 20 years ago!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people from Changming Chamber of Commerce and Sihai Escort Agency all changed their expressions.

They stared at Lian Zhuifang, their eyes full of warning.

He Chunzhuo reminded: "You have to think it over carefully before making a decision."

Lian Zhuifang seemed to be crying and laughing at the same time, like a madman who had lost his mind: "Since my parents passed away, I have lived with my brother. My brother is my only relative and the most important person to me in this world. Now that he is dead, there is no point in me living. But before I die, I must know who killed my brother. I will cut the murderer into pieces to comfort my brother's spirit in heaven!"

The last sentence was forced out from between her teeth, mixed with extremely strong hatred.

Yan Ciwan said to her, "The real murderer is likely a relative or friend of the victims of the fire 20 years ago, or even one of the victims himself. He planned all this to seek revenge on you. If you tell us the truth now, we will soon be able to figure out the identity of the real murderer."

"It's not necessarily revenge. What Xiao Liulang said just now makes sense. Maybe someone is using revenge as a pretext to silence us. After all, only if we are all dead can we ensure that the truth will not be leaked. Everyone who knows about it is here, so the murderer must be hiding among us."

Having said that, Lian Zhuifang looked at the five people from Sihai Escort Agency and Changming Chamber of Commerce, his eyes were as if filled with poison and full of resentment.

"If I'm still alive tomorrow, it means someone is really seeking revenge for those who died that year. But if I die tomorrow... it means Xiao Liulang guessed right. The real murderer wants to silence us, and he's among the five of you!"

Fang Zhiyou looked grim: "Are you crazy? You are actually betting your own life."
