Chapter 456: The Tenth Act of Reasoning in the Tilting House: The Transaction of Xu Qing and Liu Yun
"For this reason, I owed usury loans and asked private detectives for help. Finally, I found out that Mr. Wu had divorced Sister Wen, and their family had already left the city, but his son Wu Xinghan seemed to be still here. Moreover, the private detective also found out that Wu Xinghan lived in an apartment that was not very good and shared a lease with a man named Liu Yunzhao."
"This proves that Wu Xinghan has lost his family, otherwise how could he go to share the apartment with others?"
"I found that apartment, and while monitoring Wu Xinghan, I worked to make money. Later, I paid off some of the loan sharks and bought a ring with the extra money I had at hand to send it back to my hometown. I told my parents: That is the wedding ring I was going to give Qingqing, and I hope they can keep it for me. When I take Qingqing home, I will definitely let them live a good life. However, such a promise is almost like an empty word, and I have no way to know where Qingqing is."
"I also thought about going to find Wu Weiyun, hoping to get some clues from him, but seeing Wu Weiyun's sad and desperate appearance at the funeral, I didn't have the courage to find him. But what I don't understand is that I can recognize the deceased, but it's not Qingqing, why can't Wu Weiyun recognize him? Even if he looks similar and has the same blood type, he won't even be able to recognize his own daughter, right?"
"This is also the only problem I don't understand so far. After hiring a private detective, I met Wu Xinghan and Liu Yunzhao at the same time, but I didn't count Liu Yunzhao into the plan at that time, because he was just a sharer in my mind and had nothing to do with the car accident and the past."
"I really began to suspect that Liu Yunzhao was wandering around Mount L. In order to pay off his debts and continue to look for the living expenses that Qingqing needs, I did almost all kinds of work. When I was free, I had to go to the garbage dump to pick up some things that could be sold for money. There were several large garbage recycling bins nearby Mount L., so I would go there once a day."
"It was near the warehouse where Liu Yunzhao died. I saw him, and his sister Liu Yun. Liu Yunzhao didn't know why that day? He had been around the garbage dump and had not left for a long time. His strange behavior attracted my attention, and another thing was his dress that day."
"It reminds me of the men sitting in the car when the car accident occurred. Although one is thin and the other is obese, if you look closely, the outline can still be seen somewhat similar. Especially on that day, Liu Yunzhao wore a wide-brimmed hat and a mask pulling down on his chin. This outfit is exactly the same as the person I remember."
"So I remained silent and slowly approached Liu Yunzhao and suddenly said hello to him. The fat man was really shocked. He turned around and looked at me in disgust and asked me what I wanted to do. He also called me a homeless man. I didn't mind what he said, because I just wanted to test whether he knew Luo Lingling."
"I asked him if he was Luo Lingling's friend? I said I knew Luo Lingling and had painted her for her. I thought, if Liu Yunzhao insisted on driving me away, or denied that he didn't know anything about Luo Lingling at all, then my contact with him would end here, and nothing would happen again. However, Liu Yunzhao showed a look of shock when he heard Luo Lingling's name."
"Liu Yunzhao actually asked me, how did I know that she and Luo Lingling knew each other? This sentence immediately made me target him and transferred the thoughts that were used on Wu Xinghan to him. I tried my best to please Liu Yunzhao and asked him if he wanted me to help him draw, because I found that Liu Yunzhao often sold the oil paintings painted by Wu Xinghan. Sure enough, Liu Yunzhao was very interested in me."
"After we started chatting, I immediately heard from Liu Yunzhao's words that he was secretly looking for someone to draw, and then using fake paintings to deceive and receive money. So I pretended to tell him some of the theoretical knowledge of painting that Qingqing taught me before, and claimed that he had painted quite well."
"Liu Yunzhao was fooled by me like this. He pointed to the warehouse next to the garbage dump and said, "I can live there for the time being and draw a few paintings for him to try. So I successfully moved into the warehouse. Liu Yunzhao gave me some money to buy painting boards and paints, as well as the cost of eating."
"A few days later, Liu Yunzhao actually brought the oil paintings painted by Wu Xinghan to the warehouse and asked me to copy them. He said that each painting must be exactly the same, and even the colors cannot be wrong. The paintings are all dark purple lavender fields, which are very different from the fields where I dated Qingqing before."
"I found that there were several of them, with a girl's back and a pair of shoes on it. The style of the girl's clothes and shoes was very similar to what Qingqing once wore. At this point, I was completely sure that Liu Yunzhao must have something to do with the car accident that year, so I lived in the warehouse with peace of mind."
"Liu Yunzhao also asked me not only to copy the paintings exactly the same, but also to buy the same paintings as possible for use, preferably second-hand or a little dilapidated. So I simply collected many paintings abandoned by schools from several garbage recycling stations near the suburbs or photo frames abandoned by the school, and after they were transformed and processed, they were made into the same appearance as the paintings used by Wu Xinghan."
"When the drawing board is ready, I start graffiti. I can't draw at all. Even if I look at the graffiti, I feel like it was painted by a primary school student."
"Oh, it turns out that those are your masterpieces! I understand this time," Yun Yeyao said: "We also reasoned about this, but the truth was so simple. Maybe Liu Yunzhao spent money but did not get what he wanted, so he could only tear off the canvases on the original drawing board and paste them onto your masterpiece!"
"He wanted to use this to make us pay attention to the lavender field and Wu Xinghan. He chose to live in the same apartment as Wu Xinghan, and he should also want us to notice what Wu Xinghan did when he was investigating him. But when you were scribbling at the time, weren't you afraid that Liu Yunzhao would no longer cooperate with you?"
"Mr. Yun, people like Liu Yunzhao are neither smart nor do things for no reason. He asked me to draw and let me copy Wu Xinghan's paintings. This must have his unspeakable purpose. So, from that day on, I did not focus on painting at all, but continued to investigate the relationship between Liu Yunzhao and Wu Xinghan. Moreover, I tried every means to get close to Liu Yun, hoping to get more clues from her." Xu Qing said.
"A month later, Liu Yunzhao came to the warehouse again. As soon as he met, he was furious. He disliked the paintings I drew was a waste of his money and time. But at that time, he could no longer fire me, because I not only captured the heart of her sister Liu Yun, but also knew the biggest secret he had hidden, which was to help Wu Xinghan hide unqualified production materials for the company."
"Using these, I let Liu Yunzhao keep me obediently in a few words and gave me living expenses for the next month. Although Liu Yun is a woman with a proud and no scheming at all. As long as she acts a little weaker in front of her, she will slowly reveal the secret to you."
"After that, I kept hiding in the warehouse and using my relationship with Liu Yun to slowly understand their activities clearly. However, at that time, I didn't know that something had happened in the company, and Wu Xinghan was preparing to kill someone to silence him. It was not until Liu Yunzhao wanted to use me to expose Wu Xinghan that I discovered this."
"During this period, I did a few things. The first is to buy a second-hand motorcycle again. This is what Liu Yunzhao told me. He said that when Wu Xinghan went out, he kept riding a shabby motorcycle. So I deliberately observed it. As expected, so in order to cooperate with Liu Yunzhao to expose him, I also bought a exactly the same one myself."
"The original motorcycle had been broken because of chasing the car. Also, there was a broken drawing board hidden beside me. It was the only drawing board I bought with money, which was the one I used to draw for Qingqing on the day of the car accident. When I participated in Liu Yunzhao's plan, I brought the drawing board into the warehouse to motivate myself, don't retreat easily, and be sure to find Qingqing."
"Then where did this drawing board go later?" Yun Yeyao asked.
"On the day Liu Yunzhao died, I took it away when I went to chase Wu Xinghan. Now it is hidden in Sister Wen's room."
"In this way, you are the third person in the warehouse. You are following the murderer, and that murderer is Wu Xinghan, right?"
"Yes." Xu Qing answered very simply.
Yun Yeyao said: "But why did you find out that the murderer wanted to kill Liu Yunzhao, but it didn't stop him? Even if you think Liu Yunzhao was one of the helpers who drove a car to hit Wu Qingqing, he wouldn't have to die at that time. Moreover, if Liu Yunzhao dies, aren't you isolated in the lavender villa? After all, he is also one of the people who want to expose Wu Xinghan."
Xu Qing said: "The only purpose of my choice to participate in Liu Yunzhao's exposing plan and following Wu Xinghan into the lavender villa is to expose Wu Xinghan and protect the safety of Sister Wen and Cang Lulu, because my impression of him has long changed in my contact with Sister Wen, and I have also found my Qingqing through her."
"You're the end..."
Yun Yeyao wanted to ask how Xu Qing found Qingqing, but his words were interrupted by Xu Qing. Xu Qing continued: "Mr. Yun, please listen to me first. After the speech, I hope Sister Wen will tell you what happened in person."
"Before I explained what happened at the Lavender Villa, I will first describe how I participated in Liu Yunzhao's exposing plan. After I grasped Liu Yunzhao's weaknesses, I told him that I just wanted to get some money from him and continue dating with his sister, because a homeless man like me has neither money nor girlfriend. When I am with him, I will become both rich and girlfriend, so I will do what he said and will not expose his crimes."
"As long as he lets me continue to have enough living expenses and Liu Yun, in order to save himself, Liu Yunzhao chose to abandon his sister. He asked me to continue to monitor Wu Xinghan's every move for him, and also provided convenience for my surveillance, that is, meet Liu Yun downstairs of his apartment in the middle of the night and pretend to date. Of course, Liu Yun will not appear under his real name. Every time he meets, Liu Yun uses the name Bai Yun."
"Liu Yunzhao also asked me to declare to the public that my girlfriend's name is Bai Yun. Even when she was dating her at home, I would call her Bai Yun. Anyway, this did not have much impact on me, so I agreed one by one."
"Every time I meet Liu Yun, I will ride that second-hand motorcycle and deliberately make my appearance somewhat similar to Wu Xinghan. I know that Liu Yunzhao hopes that I will be caught by the police in the future, so I let me approach Wu Xinghan as much as possible. But what he didn't expect was that I had contacted him much more times than Wu Xinghan. If I was witnessed, he would naturally not be able to do anything about it."
"The three of us are like grasshoppers tied to a rope. Once one of them is exposed, no one can escape from the other two, so I did everything without refutation as Liu Yunzhao said, and let him dig his own grave. I am not afraid of going to jail. As long as I can protect Qingqing, I am willing to pay all the price."
"I waited for Liu Yunzhao and Liu Yun to relax their vigilance, and then I could turn the tables. Gradually, the plan was to develop step by step in the direction I hoped. I began to take Liu Yunzhao's actions and give him advice. The first idea was to attract you to the lavender villa, but afterwards I realized that this idea was really not going smoothly at all."
"Of course, it was impossible for me to realize this at that time. Also, Liu Yunzhao was killed in the warehouse in advance, which was beyond my plan. I didn't realize that Wu Xinghan would go to the warehouse that day. I think it must be because our behavior was too obvious, which made Wu Xinghan begin to doubt Liu Yunzhao."
"So before implementing the murder plan, he wanted to get rid of Liu Yunzhao in advance. Liu Yunzhao also thought of retreating because he had realized the danger, but I told him that if he did not carry out the plan now, he would not be able to escape the danger. Moreover, in order to save myself, I would inform the police of everything."
"Even if he killed me, it would be useless, because I had written a letter of complaint and hid it, which was hidden in a reliable relative, and all the evidence I collected, including Liu Yunzhao and Wu Xinghan. In fact, these words are all lies. I have no relatives except my parents in my hometown."
"And how could I let my parents take risks? My threat played a role at that time. Liu Yunzhao believed me deeply. He obediently did what I said, and did not dare to resist at all. I promised Liu Yunzhao that as long as he did what I said, if I found out that Wu Xinghan took action against him, I would definitely do my best to protect him, because I didn't want Wu Xinghan to know what I did, which would hurt both sides."
