Su Mu stood solemnly before the incense altar, methodically arranging various ritual offerings.
With his hands clasped together, he slightly closed his eyes and began to murmur a series of mysterious incantations.
As the chanting grew faster, Su Mu opened his eyes, and his hands moved swiftly, sending beams of strange light from his fingertips into the divination plate before him.
Moments later, the symbols within the plate began to flicker and shift, ultimately forming a complex pattern.
Su Mu gazed intently at this divination symbol, his brow gradually furrowing.
After a careful interpretation, he understood the truth of the matter—this incident was indeed intricately linked to Li Er Gou, and there seemed to be a hidden, significant secret lurking behind it all.
With an expressionless face, Su Mu carefully stored away the divination symbol and turned his calm gaze toward Li Er Gou.
He spoke softly, “Li Er Gou, I know you must be harboring unspeakable secrets in your heart.
Now that the situation is set, I advise you to confess everything willingly and cooperate with the police investigation.
If you remain obstinate and resist, what awaits you will be severe punishment and grave consequences.”
Upon hearing Su Mu's words, Li Er Gou's face instantly turned as pale as paper.
He stared wide-eyed in disbelief at this person who seemed to see through everything. Initially, he had held onto a glimmer of hope, thinking that Wang Desheng's death was a thing of the past and that no one would pursue it any further.
However, at this moment, faced with Su Mu's confident demeanor, the defenses deep within Li Er Gou began to show signs of cracking.
Despite this, Li Er Gou still forced himself to remain calm, stuttering in response, "I... I don't know what nonsense you're talking about! Wang Desheng clearly died of a sudden heart attack; how could that possibly involve me?"
However, the tremor in his voice betrayed the panic within him.
Su Mu's lips curled into a faint, icy smile, a laugh that seemed to penetrate the very soul, sending chills down one's spine.
He fixed his gaze on Li Er Gou, his eyes glinting with cold light as he coldly said, "Hmph! Do you really think I'm so naive as to believe I know nothing about this?
Five years ago, on that bone-chilling winter day filled with biting winds and swirling snow, your greedy heart began to stir.
You coveted the priceless Yin Chen Mu in Wang Desheng's home and thus harbored wicked thoughts, plotting your scheme."
Upon hearing this, Li Er Gou's face instantly drained of color, leaving him pale as a ghost.
Cold sweat poured down his forehead as his body trembled involuntarily.
He widened his eyes in disbelief, staring at Su Mu and stammering, "How... how do you know all of this?"
But Su Mu was not in a hurry to answer his question; instead, he continued at a leisurely pace, "On that day, while Wang Desheng was out for an errand, you sneaked into his home.
When you saw Wang Desheng alone at home, the evil thoughts in your heart erupted completely.
You ruthlessly pushed him into the long-abandoned dry well in the yard."
Then, in order to cover up his crimes, he meticulously forged the illusion that Wang Desheng had suddenly died from a heart attack, attempting to deceive everyone.
At this moment, Li Er Gou was so frightened that his face turned ashen, his body limp and weak, nearly collapsing to the ground.
He stared at Su Mu with terror in his eyes, his lips trembling as if he wanted to say something, but his throat felt as if it were gripped by an invisible hand, unable to produce a sound.
Seeing this, Su Mu paused slightly and then spoke in a calm yet authoritative tone, "As for how I know all this, I can only say it is 'the Tian Ji Medical Compendium must not be leaked.'
However, one thing is certain: what you have done is being watched by the heavens.
The heinous crimes you have committed will not escape the law's severe punishment.
Justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent!"
With that, Su Mu forcefully grabbed the already terrified Li Er Gou and strode towards Grandma Wang's house.
Upon arriving at Grandma Wang's home, Su Mu unhesitatingly presented all the evidence he had collected along with his meticulous deductions to the local police.
Faced with such irrefutable evidence, even though Li Er Gou was eloquent and tried to argue his way out, he had no words left to defend himself.
His face was as pale as paper, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead continuously as his body trembled involuntarily.
In the end, it was as if all his strength had been drained away; he slowly lowered his head and could only honestly admit to his crimes and willingly accept the punishment of the law.
Once upon a time, Li Er Gou, full of himself and believing in his own cleverness, thought he could use his cunning to evade the law and continue living freely in the world. However, justice is unyielding and truth cannot be hidden. In the end, he would have to pay a heavy price for his countless misdeeds.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Su Mu cautiously presented the ring he had retrieved from the deep well to Grandma Wang.
When Grandma Wang saw that familiar ring, her eyes, already lined with wrinkles and burdened by time, instantly filled with tears. She stood there as if struck by lightning, completely stunned.
After a moment, she regained her senses and grasped the ring tightly with trembling hands, sobbing uncontrollably, "Yes... this is my husband's!"
At this point, all the evidence was laid bare. Faced with this irrefutable truth, Li Er Gou's psychological defenses crumbled completely. He slumped to the ground like a deflated balloon and confessed everything to the police without reservation.
It turned out that many years ago, he had targeted Wang Desheng simply because he coveted the precious Yin Chen Mu that Wang Desheng possessed. To claim this valuable treasure for himself, he had ruthlessly taken Wang Desheng's life.
After accomplishing his goal, he secretly hid the Yin Chen Mu in an unknown location.
Over the years, despite appearing calm on the surface, he had been tormented by immense fear and anxiety deep within, dreading the day when his crimes would be exposed.
As the truth of the case came to light, the police acted swiftly, handcuffing Li Er Gou and taking him back to the station.
What awaited him would be a fair and impartial legal judgment. Meanwhile, Wang Desheng's long-suffering spirit finally found peace at this moment, as his unjust death was acknowledged.
As for Grandma Wang, upon learning the full story and witnessing the perpetrator receive his due punishment, her heart—long suspended in uncertainty—finally found relief. The heavy burden she had carried for years could finally be set down.
