"Stop pretending. You and your father know everything about your grandfather," Zhao Yu said coldly. "Ever since Tao Yulan died, your grandfather was afraid of being implicated, so he changed his name to Yang Lujin and became a truck driver. He didn't even dare to act in Sichuan Opera anymore!"
"Qi Shengrong was different. He was just a child who didn't understand the ways of the world. He didn't worry about being persecuted, so he continued to work in the Sichuan Opera industry!"
"Because he was just a child, how could Tao Yulan pass such an important Ghost King Log to him?
"Yang Zimei, stop your pointless resistance," Zhao Yu said. "You and Yang Jianen didn't dare to reveal Yang Lujin's true identity because you were afraid that we would suspect you through him!"
"So, you made up the plot of getting the Ghost King Log from Qi Shengrong …"
"You … Hehe …" Hearing this, although Yang Zimei was shocked, she still laughed coldly. "You really know how to make up something out of nothing. In order to make me confess, you made up such a big lie?
"You turned my grandfather into Tao Yulan's disciple. You're really something …"
"Yang Zimei!" Zhao Yu's face suddenly turned cold, and he asked in a serious tone, "Do you really think that what I said was just a wild guess?"
"You …" Yang Zimei swallowed her saliva and felt guilty again.
"Because …" Zhao Yu lowered his voice. "You know, your grandfather suffers from a serious cerebrovascular disease. He is delirious and often passes out. So, his mind is in a mess. He doesn't know anything at all. Isn't that right?
"Actually, you're wrong. You don't show much concern for him …"
Then, Zhao Yu took out his phone and pulled up a video that he had prepared earlier.
When he opened it, he saw an old man lying on a hospital bed. He said with melancholy in his eyes, "Police comrade … this day … has finally come …"
"What an evil creature, evil creature …" The old man's eyes were filled with tears, and he said regretfully, "Ghost reincarnation, good and evil, I'm afraid … this is my retribution!?"
As the old man spoke, his words were clear. Although he was weak, it was clear.
When Yang Zimei saw her grandfather speak, she was shocked and felt that it was inconceivable.
"Yes … Yes, yes … That book is mine. People don't believe in ghosts, but the Ghost Path is deeply rooted in people's hearts. I … Cough cough …" The old man lay on the bed, but his words were unusually emotional. "Actually, I've been waiting for this day for a long time …
"About … more than 60 years? I thought … I would eventually bring my secrets to the grave … Now that I think about it, it's also a kind of release …
"Master Tao … Tao Yulan is indeed my old teacher … 'Ghost King Record' is the only memento he left for me …"
Hearing Yang Qinchen's aged words, both the interrogation room and the monitoring room instantly fell silent, as if time was flowing backwards.
"I admit that I am guilty … Cough …" The old man coughed twice and continued, "Back then … My master and I committed the Ghost King Case together! I'm his accomplice, and I also — killed someone!!! "
Ah!?
As soon as he said that, everyone was shocked, especially Yang Zimei, who was sitting in the interrogation chair. She was also shocked and could not believe her eyes!
"After the incident, my master took all the blame and I escaped punishment …" At this point, Yang Qinchen's eyes became moist again. "Of course … there's a reason for this … cough cough …"
"Cough, cough …" The old man coughed violently because of his excitement. A nurse stepped forward to help him. After half a minute, the old man was able to continue speaking, "Do you know? My master insisted on carrying out the Ghost King's Punishment on those people, and he wanted me to carry out the punishment with him because we have an irreconcilable hatred with those people!
"Those people are all bandits and evildoers. Before liberation, they took advantage of the chaos to rob and loot, committing heinous crimes!
Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Còm
"My parents, Xiao Qi … Oh, Shengrong's father and sister, and my master's wife … were all brutally killed by those soldiers and bandits. Moreover, the women were also insulted by them …
"It was … it was in the theater where we were staying at that time …"
"Fortunately, my master took Shengrong and me to buy steamed cakes, so we were lucky enough to escape the disaster …"
"In that chaotic era, my master couldn't report to the government, nor could he report to the army. My master didn't have the ability to take revenge. That kind of hatred, that kind of humiliation, it was simply … cough cough … cough cough …"
"Later on, after the founding of the country, something even more unbelievable happened. The few soldiers and bandits who survived somehow became officials of various units, completely clearing their names …"
"My master had originally prepared a complaint to sue them, but this sudden turn of events caused my master to be in complete despair!
"In the end, he finally mustered up his courage and prepared to use his own way to take revenge. That was how he committed the shocking Ghost King Case!"
"The reason why he dressed them up as evil spirits was to show the world that they had countless vengeful spirits under their control, and that the vengeful spirits locked their souls so that they would never be able to reincarnate!"
After watching this video, the entire place fell into a deathly silence once again …
Everyone was completely shocked by Yang Qinchen's past. No one would have thought that Tao Yulan's case would have such a huge hidden story!
The world only knew that Tao Yulan was a nightmarish Ghost King killer, but they did not expect him to have experienced such a tragic story.
Yang Zimei had never heard her grandfather talk about such things before. Her face turned pale, and her whole body trembled, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar …
"Yes, the five soldiers were not the only ones who killed our family back then. The others either died in the war or left Western Sichuan and disappeared …" After recovering for a moment, Yang Qinchen continued, "My master only remembered those five people …" Yang Qinchen continued, "My master only remembers those five people …
"I don't know … If my master hadn't been captured, would he have continued to look for his enemies? But I know that the reason my master asked me to participate in the Ghost King Case was so that I could kill my enemies with my own hands and take revenge for my parents … "
"Although Shengrong also had a huge grudge, Shengrong was too young after all, so he didn't know anything …"
"After my master's accident, the troupe was disbanded. I was worried that the police would come after me, so I changed my name and worked in another industry …"
"Shengrong's mother was still alive, and he had a good foundation. So, when he grew up, he joined another Sichuan Opera troupe and continued to sing …"
"Later, when the situation was not so tense …" Yang Qinchen continued, "I deliberately went to the vicinity of Shengrong's house, bought a piece of land from Willow Tomb, and became his neighbor …"
"Later, we started our own families and had children. We also let our children enter the troupe, and our lives got better and better …" Yang Qinchen covered his heart and said, "After all, I killed people, so I always felt like there was something stuck in my heart. Although … those I killed … were all bad people, but …"
"In the reincarnation of the Ghost Path, it's hard to determine good and evil … I just didn't feel at ease in my heart. Now … I finally understand that there is a cause and effect in the reincarnation of the Ghost Path … My retribution didn't happen to me, but it affected my children and grandchildren, causing them to go mad!!!"
