When the book-traveling little detective meets the two-faced prince

Lin Lezhi, in the calmest tone, pointed out the crime hidden deep in Ge Mingyuan's heart, which he had always deliberately ignored and was most reluctant to admit.

Every time he thought about it, he felt like a thousand-pound stone was pressing on his chest, making it impossible for him to breathe.

It was as if countless wild beasts were tearing his heart apart. Ge Mingyuan widened his eyes, supported himself on the ground with his hands, and opened his mouth wide, as if he was about to suffocate.

"No, you're talking nonsense, my daughter won't die for this reason... Yes, that's right, my daughter won't die because of this, yes, she won't." Ge Mingyuan shouted in pain.

"That's right, I'm not wrong. It's not me who's wrong, it's this unfair society. Why can they use power and money to override other people's lives? Afterwards, it's as if nothing happened. And I... I just want my daughter to survive!"

Lin Lezhi moved his sore arms and looked at the mobile phone on the cabinet.

If there was a signal, Ji Hang would definitely call, but the phone screen had never lit up since it was turned on.

I don’t know if it was because Ge Mingyuan’s roar was too loud or the effect of the medicine had worn off, but the girls leaning against him woke up.

When he saw Ge Mingyuan out of control and Lin Lezhi with blood on his head, he was so scared that he whimpered, but because his mouth was stuffed with cloth, the sound he could make was very weak.

Now any faint sound is enough to stimulate a sensitive man.

Ge Mingyuan stopped roaring, looked at the girls by the wall with his red and bloodshot eyes, stood up with a gloomy face, picked up a knife from the table, and walked towards the oldest girl.

Ge Mingyuan seemed to be possessed by a demon. He glared and said, "The heart beating in your body should have belonged to my daughter. Why are you still alive? I want to cut out your heart. My daughter is dead. Why are you still alive?"

The girl kept shaking her head and trying to escape by backing away, but there was an icy wall behind her. Even if she struggled to retreat, she couldn't move an inch. Her eyes were filled with tears and fear.

Ge Mingyuan's cheek twitched, his expression was like that of a demon, he glared and said: "If you hadn't taken my daughter's heart, how could you be alive now!"

Ge Mingyuan had completely lost control. Just when Ge Mingyuan was about to swing his knife, Lin Lezhi stood up and used his body to push Ge Mingyuan away, and the knife was also knocked away.

The knife fell to the ground with a sharp sound.

Ge Mingyuan was knocked against the cabinet next to him, and several rubber ducks on the cabinet were knocked to the ground, making a few unique "chirp" sounds of rubber ducks.

The phone was knocked a short distance away, but it didn't fall off the cabinet.

Lin Lezhi used all his strength to charge forward, and this time he fell quite hard. In addition, his hands and feet were tied, so it was difficult for him to stand up for a while.

Ge Mingyuan quickly stood up, looked at Lin Lezhi on the ground and said, "Why are you meddling in other people's business again!"

Lin Lezhi looked at Ge Mingyuan with a resolute look and said, "Since you brought me here, you have no intention of letting me live. How can you be considered meddling in other people's business?"

"Since you are going to kill me anyway, you might as well kill me first." Lin Lezhi supported himself and stood up. He turned his body so that his back was close to the cabinet. He looked directly at Ge Mingyuan without fear, and there was no intention of retreat in his tone.

Ge Mingyuan was obviously irritated, his eyes twitched, and his face showed a half-smile, half-crying expression. He turned his head and shouted at Lin Lezhi: "Why do you blame me with such a righteous and calm look? You don't understand my feelings at all, and you don't understand the pain of losing your family!"

Ge Mingyuan walked forward and punched Lin Lezhi in the stomach several times, causing his stomach to feel as if it was being stabbed by a knife. The last time, Ge Mingyuan hit Lin Lezhi in the face. Lin Lezhi controlled his body and fell towards the cabinet.

The girls nearby were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they couldn't stop crying.

This time the phone was successfully knocked to the ground. Lin Lezhi turned his back and fell on the phone, holding the phone tightly in his hand, then moved backwards and stood up against the wall behind him.

As it moved, it bumped into a fallen duckling, making a "chirp" sound.

Seeing Lin Lezhi retreating, Ge Mingyuan felt that Lin Lezhi was just a coward.

Ge Mingyuan sneered, picked up the knife on the ground, walked slowly towards Lin Lezhi and said, "You were so tough just now, why are you running away now? Don't you want to die first? Are you scared now?"

Ge Mingyuan suddenly kicked Lin Lezhi again.

"Ugh--!" Lin Lezhi was almost unable to stand up straight after being kicked. His body's endurance was almost reaching its limit.

The only thing to be thankful for was that the room was not very big and the small window was only about one meter away, but it would have been too obvious if I had gone straight there.

Lin Lezhi endured the severe pain in his body and quickly looked around, searching for something that could be used. His eyes swept across the rubber duck on the cabinet and he remembered that he had brought one with him when he moved just now.

Lin Lezhi raised his foot and slammed his right foot on it. The little rubber duck seemed to come alive and let out a scream.

“Xixi——!”

Ge Mingyuan looked broken-hearted and pushed Lin Lezhi to the left.

With his hands and feet tied and no other external force available, Lin Lezhi simply banged his head against the glass.

With a "pop" sound, the glass shattered and the blood on Lin Lezhi's head slid down.

In order to stay awake, Lin Lezhi shook his dizzy head slightly, turned around before Ge Mingyuan noticed, raised his hands as high as he could, stood on tiptoe, and threw the phone out from the broken glass.

After doing everything he could, Lin Lezhi slid down the wall and sat down.

At this moment, the blood on his head mixed with sweat slid down his forehead and into Lin Lezhi's left eye.

The flowing blood and the pain in his body made Lin Lezhi's breathing more and more unstable. The blood color on his face gradually faded and turned pale. Cold sweat began to appear on his body and his consciousness began to become a little distracted.

But Lin Lezhi knew that he must not faint at this time. He didn't know if there would be a signal if he threw the phone out. Even if there was, he had to buy more time for Ji Hang.

Lin Lezhi picked up a small piece of glass that had just shattered on the ground and held it in his hand. While trying to cut the rope, he paid attention to Ge Mingyuan's actions.

Because he couldn't see, Lin Lezhi's hands and wrists were cut by glass several times.

Ge Mingyuan held the little rubber duck in his palm, treating it as a treasure. He then used the inside of his not-so-clean clothes to wipe off the shoe prints on the duck, then picked up the other fallen rubber ducks and carefully put them back on the cabinet.

Ge Mingyuan turned around and looked at Lin Lezhi, saying viciously: "How dare you——!"

"Okay, you want to die, right? I'll send you to be buried with my Xixi!"

Lin Lezhi raised his eyes to look at Ge Mingyuan, the blood in his left eye dripping down like tears of blood. Lin Lezhi said with unsteady breathing: "Your drama of fatherly love is just to move yourself."

Seeing the blood flowing from Lin Lezhi's left eye, Ge Mingyuan couldn't help but show some fear. He stepped forward and grabbed Lin Lezhi's collar, gritted his teeth and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"I say... in my opinion... you... are no different from them. You repeatedly emphasize that you are doing this for your daughter, but in reality, you have been using your daughter as an excuse to justify all the wrong things you have done."

"Varied……!"

Lin Lezhi looked at the rubber duck on the cabinet and said bluntly, "All your daughter wants is the company of her parents, as simple as a small, floating rubber duck, that's all. But everything you say and do is to put the blame of murder on her, just to make yourself feel at ease."

"You can't blame anyone else for what has happened today, because you were wrong from the beginning," Lin Lezhi added.

Lin Lezhi's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Ge Mingyuan's heart. He lowered his head, his whole body trembling, and his hands gradually lost the strength to grasp.

Ge Mingyuan's hand that was grabbing Lin Lezhi's collar slipped away, and he bent down and hugged his head with despair on his face. The pain and regret in his heart were like a surging tide that was about to drown him, and tears continued to flow down his cheeks.

"ah------!"

Ge Mingyuan shouted at the top of his lungs, as if he wanted to vent all the pain in his chest.

"Xixi, it's Dad's fault. It's all Dad's fault. It has nothing to do with you. Dad never thought that way. You have to believe Dad, believe Dad."

The Ge Mingyuan in front of him seemed to have lost his mind.

Lin Lezhi looked at the man in front of him, or to be more precise, a father.

Now Lin Lezhi felt that the man’s red eyes were not only due to the long-term high mental tension that made him unable to relax, but also because of what he saw in front of him.

He must have experienced such collapse countless times.

Lin Lezhi thought for the first time that if he died one day, his parents would be like this man, or would they feel finally relieved.

However, the answer to this question is not important to Lin Lezhi.

It just suddenly occurred to me when I saw the man like this.

Ge Mingyuan had said enough. He stood up angrily with red eyes, grabbed Lin Lezhi's neck with both hands, pressed Lin Lezhi to the ground and shouted angrily: "Shut up, I asked you to speak, and you will say yes, right!"

Looking at Lin Lezhi's almost suffocated face, Ge Mingyuan smiled almost like a madman and said, "Why don't you say anything now? Keep talking, you were quite talkative just now!"

Lin Lezhi increased the speed of the glass pieces in his hand, and the blood from the cuts stained his clothes red.

Just when Lin Lezhi felt that he was about to die, Ge Mingyuan suddenly let go of Lin Lezhi's neck. Because he grabbed too hard, obvious palm marks were left on his neck.

Accompanied by a cough caused by breathing too quickly, Lin Lezhi took deep breaths of the air around him, even though it didn't smell good.

Ge Mingyuan stood up, looked at Lin Lezhi curled up on the ground, and said with a smile like a winner: "If you want to die a hero, I will grant you your wish, but before you die..." Ge Mingyuan looked at the four girls in the corner, and then said: "I have to let you watch them die first."
