Chapter 77: The Final Fate of the Liu Family

"Li Zaihua, tell me! Why did you do this?"

Lu Wanshan's voice was cold; he had no pity for such corrupt officials.

Li Zaihua took a deep breath and said, "Team Leader Lu, I admit that I have done some wrong things. I am not worthy of wearing this uniform. I can explain all of these things."

However, I really don't know what happened with Wang Haixia.

"Team Leader Lu, you're the most skilled criminal investigator in the bureau. I hope you can investigate this matter thoroughly and clear my name."

Lee Jae-hwa's will to survive was still very strong; he downplayed his involvement and confessed everything that needed to be confessed about his past.

He absolutely refused to admit to poisoning Wang Haixia. That's murder, punishable by death.

Now, he can finally understand how Chen Qingshan felt back then.

"Exonerate you? How can I exonerate you? The evidence in your case is conclusive. You have everything except a lack of motive. How can I exonerate you?"

Lu Wanshan said coldly.

Li Zaihua was still not giving up and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, this poisoning is the same as the series of poisoning cases that happened today. There have been four such cases in our jurisdiction today."

Six people were poisoned. The doctors said there's no cure once ingested. Clearly, someone deliberately poisoned them. I was just one of the unlucky ones.

Lu Wanshan was stunned for a moment.

"Such a thing happened? Go and bring me all the case files for today's poisoning cases."

Lu Wanshan came to deal with Li Zaihua's matter; he really didn't know there were so many poisoning cases.

Soon, the case files for the four poisoning cases were placed on Lu Wanshan's desk.

Lu Wanshan picked it up and started reading.

The more he looked, the more serious his expression became.

The courtyard house at No. 95 started there.

Lu Wanshan looked up at Li Zaihua and asked, "Are Liu Haizhong and his wife still in jail?"

Li Zaihua nodded: "Yes, he's still in jail."

Lu Wanshan decisively said, "Go, release them."

Li Zaihua's eyes widened: "What? They're the prime suspects, and they're being released?"

Lu Wanshan was speechless. "The prime suspect? They're all in jail, so how did they get into Chen Qingshan's office to poison him? And how did they get into your office to poison him?"

"this……"

Li Zaihua was speechless.

Lu Wanshan said, "After releasing them, send in skilled trackers to follow them."

"Yes."

Immediately, someone responded.

Li Zaihua understood immediately.

If they are suspects, how can we find any evidence against them if we keep them here? The best option is to release them and let them continue to commit crimes.

However, at that moment, a police officer from the investigation team rushed back in a panic.

"Team leader, something terrible has happened. Wu Xiuzhen (Second Aunt) has also been poisoned."

"What?"

Li Zaihua's expression immediately changed drastically.

Lu Wanshan looked completely bewildered: "Who is Wu Xiuzhen?"

"Wu Xiuzhen is the wife of the man with the bangs. She's the prime suspect in the poisoning."

"this……"

"How could this happen?"

Even Lu Wanshan, a master of criminal investigation, was completely baffled.

"No. Li Zaihua, didn't you say she was the prime suspect? How come she was also poisoned?"

"I……"

Li Zaihua was speechless.

Lu Wanshan was also in a bind; this was a hot potato!

Lu Wanshan decisively said, "Go, bring that Chen Qingshan to me."

Soon, Chen Qingshan was also brought over.

Lu Wanshan decisively interrogated Li Zaihua and Chen Qingshan.

It would have been better if they hadn't interrogated him at all, because after the interrogation, a thick stack of case files was laid out on Lu Wanshan's desk.

Yes, all the cases involving the courtyard house during this period are now on the table.

Li Zaihua and Chen Qingshan both said that the biggest suspect in this case was a man named Chen Jinmo, but unfortunately they had no evidence.

Lu Wanshan conducted another round of interrogation and finally sorted out all the cases. He also gained a fairly good understanding of the situation.

"Hiss..."

Lu Wanshan slapped his forehead. He had never seen such a complicated case in his entire life!

This side of the prison cell.

Two police officers came over, took out a key, and opened the cell door.

"Liu Haizhong, you can leave now."

"What? Really?"

Liu Haizhong could hardly believe his ears and excitedly jumped up.

Two police officers told him with great regret, "Comrade Liu Haizhong, we have some unfortunate news for you. Just now, your wife was also poisoned. We've already taken her to Hongxing Hospital. You should go there to see her as soon as possible!"

"What?"

Liu Haizhong almost lost his balance.

He turned around abruptly and looked at Old Mo. If he remembered correctly, Old Mo had just said he was going to send away his last remaining relative as well.

Liu Haizhong's eyes were filled with resentment: "Old Mo, it was you again, wasn't it?"

Now that Lao Mo is in, he dares not admit it.

"Liu Haizhong, are you out of your mind? I've been here with you the whole time, how could I poison your wife? Don't blame everything on me, or I'll sue you again and you won't be able to leave the house."

"snort."

Liu Haizhong snorted coldly, turned around and ran away. His second aunt was his last remaining relative.

Aunt Erda didn't even have a chance to eat or drink, so why was she also poisoned? It's simple: she was lying there when Lao Mo poured the poison directly into her mouth.

At that time, Auntie Er was thirsty and even licked her lips!

Who said you have to eat or drink to poison someone?

Liu Haizhong rushed to Hongxing Hospital in a flurry of activity.

Good heavens, my wife, son, daughter-in-law and grandson are all in one hospital room.

The doctor said that they should live together so they can take care of each other.

Now the whole family is together.

Yan Bugui's third aunt and Yan Jiecheng lived next door.

Wow, it's really rare to see a whole family booking a hospital room.

As soon as Liu Guangqi saw Liu Haizhong coming over, he wanted to curse.

Unfortunately, he found that he no longer had the energy to curse.

Apart from being mentally sharp, all his organs were deteriorating, either rotting or becoming fibrotic.

However, the process was extremely slow. Even so, he dared not shout or curse at this moment—it hurt!

He couldn't understand why he was still in so much pain when he had already been saved.

His son, Liu Bangguo, who was crying loudly at first, has now stopped crying altogether.

As long as I lie still, it doesn't hurt that much, but if I move even slightly, my whole body aches!

At this moment, Liu Guangqi and his family of three were all looking at Liu Haizhong with hatred in their eyes.

Seeing this scene, Liu Haizhong completely broke down.

The doctor had already told him that there was no cure for this poison.

Those poisoned by this substance can only suffer for a few days before dying from the rotting of their internal organs.

Liu Haizhong sat there, looking at the family who were on the verge of death.

At this moment, he was filled with endless regret.

Old Mo was right; the Liu family line has ended.

Liu Haizhong sat there, thinking for a long time.

I regret it so much, I'm so incredibly regretful.

Why would you want someone else's dilapidated house?

He was a master blacksmith of the seventh rank, with three sons and a large family of children and grandchildren.

If none of these things had happened, how happy and fulfilling his life would have been!

Unfortunately, there are all sorts of medicines in this world, but there's no medicine for regret.

Looking across the entire world, he was now all alone. What meaning was there left in living?

Most importantly, Old Mo won't let him off the hook.

He didn't want to end up like these people, lying here suffering endless pain, and eventually dying with his body rotting away.

Even if Old Mo didn't kill him, he didn't want to live anymore.

Having made his plans, he took out paper and pen and began to write his will.

In his suicide note, he asserted that his entire family was murdered by Lao Mo, and he wanted to prove it with his death. He hoped his death would draw attention to the cases and prompt a thorough investigation.

It was past four in the morning when I finished writing my will.

He placed his suicide note on the bedside table and used to carry his wife on his back from her sickbed.

As he was leaving, he glanced back at Liu Guangqi.

You ungrateful wretch! You should stay here and die a slow, painful death!

Thinking of this, Liu Haizhong stopped looking at him. He didn't even glance at his grandson anymore.

As a level seven blacksmith, he was still quite strong. Carrying his wife on his back, he huffed and puffed as he started climbing the stairs.

This is a six-story building. Jumping from such a height would definitely kill you, right?

Originally, Lu Wanshan had sent people to follow him. Unfortunately, those who were following him couldn't possibly stay there until dawn.

At this time, the whole building was quite quiet.

He carried his second aunt on his back to the rooftop, huffing and puffing.

"Xiuzhen! The doctor said that there is no cure for this poison. She can only lie in bed and wait to die, and the process will be very painful."

I can't bear to see you in so much pain; I'm afraid I can't handle it. So, let's jump off here together and end it all!

At that moment, Aunt Er was crying, tears streaming down her face.

"Old Liu, we were wrong, we were all wrong. You said that in the whole courtyard, our family is the best off. We have three sons and two grandsons, and we are the envy of everyone in the courtyard. Why would we want someone else's house?"

Now look what's happened, our whole family is dead. I regret it so much! Old Liu, if there's an afterlife, we'll never be greedy again.

Money is just an external thing; what do we need so much of it for? Now I understand: as long as my family is doing well, that's more important than anything else.

"Yes, as long as the family is doing well, that's what matters most. I realized this way too late, far too late!"

At this moment, Liu Haizhong was also in tears.

"Xiuzhen, if there is an afterlife, I will still marry you. If there is an afterlife, I will never beat my child again. If there is an afterlife, I will never be greedy again. Let's go! Let's go together, perhaps we can meet again in the next life."

The two of them sighed with tears streaming down their faces.

Finally, they embraced and plunged headfirst into the ground.

"what?"

"Someone jumped off a building! Someone jumped off a building!"

Red Star Hospital became lively.
