Li Jiye was indeed not dead, but he might as well be dead. He had been tortured by the Hong Ming Gang for a while. When he was taken out, his eyes couldn't adapt to the light for a while, and he closed them tightly for a while, then slowly Open: "Kill me..."
"We won't kill you," Ling Cang stepped forward and looked at him carefully, and couldn't help but sympathize with him. Li Jiye was so skinny and skinny, his clothes were so ragged that he could barely hide his shame, there were wounds everywhere on his body, and he exuded a stench.
"Even if you don't kill me..." Li Jiye chuckled, looking miserable: "No matter what methods you use, no matter how you torture me, I won't say a word,"
"No matter how mighty and unyielding you are, I'm not interested in testing you anymore," Ling Cang shrugged and said calmly, "And there's nothing else I want to know."
Li Jiye was stunned: "What did you say?"
"Do you think I'm going to ask you what Ding Maozhong's next plans are and what other subordinates are doing..." Ling Cang spread his hands and said with an indifferent expression: "I don't care about any of this."
"You know that you are no match for Hall Master Ding, so you want to give in,"
"Do you think that's possible,"
Li Jiye looked at Ling Cang, and after a moment he slowly shook his head: "No, you won't give in,"
"Yes," Ling Cang nodded: "The real reason why I no longer care about these things is because they no longer have any meaning."
"Could it be that... Hall Master Ding is willing to shake hands and make peace?"
"Not even," Ling Cang stood up and nodded towards Qin Hu: "Untie him,"
Qin Hu came over, pulled with his hand, and tore the rope to pieces. Li Jiye just wanted to move, but he felt sore all over and collapsed on the ground: "What on earth are you going to do?"
"Let you go,"
"Let me go," Li Jiye looked at Ling Cang dumbfounded: "Why,"
"Because you are no longer useful,"
When Li Jiye heard this, he instinctively thought that because of his strength, the Hong Ming Gang had no choice but to let him go: "Let the Hong family father and daughter say this, you are not qualified."
"I..." Ling Cang dragged out his voice and told Li Jiye word for word: "I am the son-in-law of the Hong family and the future head of the Lizi Hall. Ling Cang, I have the right to make this decision."
"Don't regret it..."
"I have nothing to regret," Ling Cang interrupted Li Jiye: "I might as well tell you honestly that things have changed during the time you were detained."
"What a change,"
"Ding Maozhong is dead,"
"You..." Li Jiye looked at Ling Cang stupidly. After a while, big tears rolled down his face: "You didn't lie to me,"
"Why did I lie to you?" Ling Cang smiled and shook his head: "Because Ding Maozhong died, the situation has fundamentally changed, so there is no point in continuing to imprison you."
Li Jiye suddenly jumped up from the ground, regardless of the pain all over his body, and shouted hoarsely: "Who did this?"
"Many people think it is the Hong Ming Gang," Ling Cang shook his head: "But I can tell you, no, those who accuse the Hong Ming Gang have no evidence at all."
Li Jiye's eyeballs were covered with bloodshot eyes. From a distance, he looked like he had pinkeye: "Who else would kill Hall Master Ding besides you?"
"That's hard to say," Ling Cang lit up a cigarette, took a puff and said, "I know you are loyal to Ding Maozhong, so I might as well leave it to you to find out the real murderer."
"real,"
"Really," Ling Cang nodded: "The Hongming Gang also needs to be cleared of their innocence."
"Don't regret it," Li Jiye said bitterly and limped outside.
He wanted to hail a car and rush back to Ding's house to ask what happened, but when he saw that his clothes were ragged and his body was covered with solidified blood stains, no taxi was willing to stop.
This guy was quite resilient. Even though he was covered in injuries and had not eaten enough for a long time, he still managed to walk back to Ding's house.
The Ding family was as brightly lit as ever, and it seemed the same as before, but there seemed to be a bit of a sad atmosphere.
Thinking that Ding Maozhong might be gone, Li Jiye couldn't help but quicken his pace. Just when he came to the door and raised his hand to ring the doorbell, a surprised voice came over: "You are Li Jiye,"
"You..." Li Jiye turned around and looked at the speaker: "Su Xinyu,"
"You're back," Su Xinyu walked over quickly and looked at Li Jiye from top to bottom: "I'll find a place for you first, bandage your wounds, and have a good rest..."
"These are easy to talk about..." Li Jiye grabbed Su Xinyu's collar: "Tell me first, what happened to Hall Master Ding,"
"This..." Su Xinyu glanced at the door of Ding's house and said in a low voice: "It's not convenient to talk about it back home, so let's talk in my car."
Su Xinyu helped Li Jiye get into his car, then looked around at no one, and then continued: "A lot of things happened during your absence..."
Li Jiye said urgently: "Tell me quickly,"
Su Xinyu narrated everything that happened after Li Jiye left, and then he sighed longly and shook his head helplessly: "Today's Ding family is no longer the Ding family of the past. Everything is decided by the two mothers and sons, Ding Shijia and Panna. "
"How could this happen..." Li Jiye leaned weakly on his seat, looking blankly ahead, and didn't speak for a long time.
"By the way..." Su Xinyu glanced sideways at Li Jiye and asked tentatively: "You suddenly lost contact, what happened?"
Li Jiye recounted his experience, and then asked Su Xinyu: "What are you doing?"
Su Xinyu knew that Ling Cang wanted to let Li Jiye go, so he waited here on purpose, but he couldn't say this to Li Jiye: "Go out to do some errands, a small matter for the Ding family mother and son..."
"You seem quite unhappy,"
"I said, Ding Shijia, the hall master, is in name only, everything is decided by Panna," Su Xinyu curled his lips, and continued: "Ding Shijia only believes in his mother's words, and no one else trusts them, and Panna doesn't trust me at all. None of the old people left behind by Hall Master Ding have been reused."
"Yeah,"
"I am not attacking you..." Looking at Li Jiye again, Su Xinyu said slowly: "If you go back now, you will only get the same treatment as me."
"I still have to say hello to Young Master Ding, and then offer incense to Hall Master Ding," Li Jiye sighed and gritted his teeth and said, "As for whether they reuse me, I don't care at all, because the only thing I want to do next is One thing we have to do is to find out who murdered Hall Master Ding,"
"Fang Han insisted that it was the Hong Ming Gang who did it, but I don't think so."
"Why,"
"Because there is no evidence," Su Xinyu spread his hands and continued: "On the day of the crime, there was no sign of anyone sneaking in or escaping, and there was no sign that the murderer was from outside. There was no movement from the Hong Ming Gang. , as if he didn’t even know something was going to happen,”
"What do you mean..." Li Jiye asked in a long voice, word by word: "The murderer is an insider."
"Some traces at the scene indicate that the murderer was someone close to Hall Master Ding," Su Xinyu paused and explained in detail: "For example, Hall Master Ding did not resist before he died, which shows that he knew the murderer at all; also, the fragments from the window fell on Outside the room, it means that the murderer did not come in from the outside, but may have escaped from the inside of the house..."
Su Xinyu said meaningfully: "In other words, Ding Shijia's words are not credible at all,"
"After all, he is the new hall master now, and he is also the biological son of Hall Master Ding..." When Su Xinyu said this, his tone was very strange: "I can't doubt anything at will,"
"Xinyu, after having been around for so many years, we should understand a truth..."
"What,"
"The most unlikely things are often true,"
"Yes," Su Xinyu nodded vigorously: "You also suspect that Ding Shijia is lying,"
"It's possible..." When talking about Ding Shijia, Li Jiye was a little disdainful: "He was probably trying to protect someone, or he was so frightened that he didn't notice anything at all. He didn't have much magnanimity or generosity, and what he said was just Just listen to it, don’t take it seriously,”
"yes,"
"Anyway, he is the son of Hall Master Ding after all, and he should also hope to catch the murderer,"
Su Xinyu smiled mysteriously: "Maybe,"
"Don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly," Li Jiye said, his expression became fierce: "No matter who killed Hall Master Ding, I will never let him go."
"I support you, but..." Su Xinyu squinted at Li Jiye and said meaningfully: "You have to carry Ding Shijia and Pan Na on your back."
"Why,"
Su Xinyu didn't explain, but just said: "It's not too late to tell them the results after we find out the matter clearly."
"Okay," Li Jiye nodded, was silent for a while, and suddenly sighed: "There is something I don't understand..."
"What,"
"How could Pan Na be with Fang Han when Hall Master Ding's body is still cold?" Li Jiye looked at Su Xinyu and questioned, "You're not lying to me, are you?"
"Although the relationship between Panna and Fang Han has not been made public, everyone knows it," Su Xinyu smiled nonchalantly and continued: "If you think my one-sided words are not credible, you can ask other people."
"You didn't lie to me,"
"How dare I lie about such a big matter?" Su Xinyu looked at the front door of the Ding family and said meaningfully: "You have been following Hall Master Ding for a long time. I have heard about things, don't you? Maybe you didn’t hear it,”
Li Jiye's body suddenly froze: "You mean..."
"What I'm talking about is..." Su Xinyu said slowly in a long voice: "There have always been some bad rumors about Panna's life style. Within the Ding family, there are also rumors about Panna and Ding. The relationship between the hall master and grandfather is somewhat ambiguous..."
