Su Mu stood solemnly before the incense altar, methodically arranging various sacrificial offerings.
With his hands pressed together, he slightly closed his eyes and began to chant a series of mysterious incantations in a low voice.
As the cadence of his chanting quickened, Su Mu opened his eyes, and his hands began to move swiftly. Strange beams of light shot from his fingertips, infusing 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 the divination symbol, his brows gradually furrowing in concern.
After a careful interpretation, he understood the truth of the matter—this incident was indeed intricately linked to Li Er Gou, and it seemed to conceal a vast secret that remained unknown to others.
With an expressionless face, Su Mu cautiously put away the divination symbol and looked at Li Er Gou with calm eyes.
He spoke softly, "Li Er Gou, I know you must be harboring unspeakable secrets within you.
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 turned as pale as paper in an instant.
He stared wide-eyed, incredulous at this person who seemed capable of seeing through everything. Initially, he had harbored a glimmer of hope, believing that Wang Desheng's death was a matter 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 forced himself to remain calm and stammered in response, "I... I don't know what nonsense you are talking about! Wang Desheng clearly died of a sudden heart attack; how could that possibly involve me?"
However, his trembling voice betrayed the panic within him.
Su Mu's lips curled into a slight, cold smile, his laughter chilling enough to penetrate the soul, sending shivers down one's spine.
He fixed his gaze on Li Er Gou, his eyes glinting with a frosty light as he coldly remarked, "Hmph! Do you really think I am completely unaware of this?
Five years ago, during that bone-chilling winter filled with biting winds and swirling snow, your greedy heart began to stir.
You drooled over the priceless dark wood in Wang Desheng's home, and thus evil thoughts took root in your mind."
Upon hearing this, Li Er Gou's face turned pale as a ghost, devoid of any color.
Cold sweat trickled down his forehead as his body involuntarily trembled.
He widened his eyes in disbelief, staring at Su Mu as he stuttered, "How... how do you know all of this?"
Yet 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 stealthily sneaked into his home.
When you saw Wang Desheng alone in the house, the wicked thoughts in your heart erupted completely.
You ruthlessly shoved him into the long-abandoned dry well in the yard."
Then, in order to cover up his crime, he meticulously forged the illusion that Wang Desheng had died suddenly from a heart attack, attempting to deceive everyone.
At this moment, Li Er Gou was so frightened that his face turned pale, his body limp and weak, almost collapsing to the ground.
He stared at Su Mu with terrified eyes, his lips trembling as if he wanted to say something, but his throat felt as if it were tightly gripped by an invisible hand, unable to produce a sound.
Seeing this, Su Mu paused slightly, then spoke in a calm yet authoritative tone: "As for how I know all this, I can only say that 'heaven's secrets cannot be revealed.'
However, one thing is certain: people act, and heaven observes.
The heinous crimes you have committed will not escape the severe punishment of the law.
Justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent!"
With that, Su Mu 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 gathered along with his meticulous deductions to the local police.
Faced with such indisputable evidence as solid as a mountain, even though Li Er Gou was eloquent and tried to argue his way out, he had no words left to defend himself at this moment.
His face was as pale as paper, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead incessantly, and 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 self-importance and cunning, believed he could outsmart the law and continue to live freely in the world. However, justice is unyielding and thorough; ultimately, he would have to pay a heavy price for his numerous 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 the ring, so familiar it was almost a part of her, tears instantly filled her already wrinkled and weathered eyes. She stood frozen in shock as if struck by lightning.
After a moment, she regained her composure and grasped the ring tightly with trembling hands, sobbing uncontrollably, "Yes... this is my husband's!"
At this point, all evidence lay bare before them. Faced with this irrefutable truth, Li Er Gou's mental 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 out of greed for the precious piece of ancient wood Wang Desheng possessed. To claim that wood for himself, he ruthlessly took Wang Desheng's life.
Afterward, he secretly hid the ancient wood in an unknown location.
Over the years, despite appearing calm on the surface, he had been tormented by immense fear and anxiety deep within him, dreading that one day his crimes would be exposed.
As the truth of the case emerged, the police swiftly acted, handcuffing Li Er Gou and taking him back to the station.
What awaited him was 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 at last be lifted.
