In the small supermarket at night, the old man continued to recall, "You Ran jumped off the building, which should be enough to prove her innocence, right?
But, the evil woman's family didn't let it go. They said that You Ran committed suicide to escape punishment and said a lot of nasty things … "
"My brother couldn't understand why they would insult people like that when they were already dead.
So, from then on, my brother made up his mind to make the evil woman's family pay for what they had done. But … "The old man clarified," In the beginning, he didn't want them to pay for what they had done with their lives!
"Because we're in the account book business. After my brother investigated the evil woman's family, he suspected that there was something wrong with their business. Maybe it was related to smuggling or money laundering …"
"So, my brother's original plan was to investigate secretly, find evidence of their illegal activities, and put them in jail!"
"But, no one expected that things would get worse … Because … Because … Because of an accident …"
"Oh? What accident? "Zhao Yu asked." What accident? "
"During that time, my brother didn't want to eat or drink. He just wanted to find evidence of the evil woman's family's illegal activities, so he often followed them …"
"Once, he followed them to a private banquet. He wanted to take some photos secretly, but when he was taking photos, he suddenly found something unexpected …"
"Evil woman … the evil woman is actually wearing that watch on her wrist! That watch was suspected to have been stolen by You Ran! "
Hearing this, Zhao Yu and Ding Lan both gasped. It wasn't hard to imagine how furious Zhang Haoren would be when he saw the watch.
"What was even more unacceptable was that …" The old man continued, "Someone at the table saw the evil woman's watch, so he asked her, 'Didn't you lose your watch?'
"Then, that evil woman actually told the truth without hiding anything …"
"Ah?" Ding Lan was surprised. "There's a truth about the watch?"
"She said that the watch was actually hidden by her son!" The old man recalled, gritting his teeth. "At that time, her son accidentally broke the watch when he was playing. He was afraid that his mother would punish him, so he lied about seeing the nanny steal the watch!
Later, when the evil woman was cleaning the room, she found the lost watch under the child's quilt. Then, she found out what had happened … "
Oh …
Zhao Yu suddenly understood. No wonder the owner of the watch shop in Shanghai said that he had once repaired the Saint Norsk 1918!
It turned out that the watch was broken by Sun Yujiao's son!
"What was most annoying," said the old man, "was that my brother said that the wicked woman was smiling all the time, as if there had never been a girl who jumped off the building!
"She didn't show any signs of remorse. She didn't even try to accuse her son of lying. It was as if she was talking about an ordinary family story. You Ran's death had nothing to do with them.
"It was also because he witnessed all of this that my brother changed his original plan," the old man said. "He decided not to search for any evidence!
"Even if I find the evidence, I'll only be jailed for a few years at most. Moreover, the evil woman's husband has a gangster background. Maybe they'll find out before I find the evidence!
"That's why my brother has made up his mind. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. He'll make that family pay with their lives for You Ran's!
"So, so what happened next …"
As he spoke, the old man's entire body trembled, as if he had once again experienced the terrifying events of the past.
"Then …" Zhao Yu tried to ask, "What happened?"
"My brother carefully studied the structure of their villa and formulated his revenge plan," the old man said.
"Then, one night, he found an opportunity to sneak into the evil woman's house and carry out his revenge …" The old man recalled with difficulty. "My brother didn't tell me the specific details.
He only told me that he made the evil woman wear the watch, then chopped off her arm with an axe … "
"Then, he killed the evil woman and her husband, then lit a fire and burned down their villa …"
"He said that the evil woman's son deserved to die for lying!"
"But, the evil woman's daughter was innocent. But, when he set the fire, he couldn't care less. In the end, the evil woman's entire family was buried in the fire …"
"Then," the old man continued, "my brother put the evil woman's arm in a bag, took it back to the company, and put it in the safe …"
"He said that he didn't know why he did it! Maybe he wanted to hide the hatred in the safe, so that every time he thought about his crimes, he would take it out and look at it to reduce his guilt … "Zhao Yu thought.
"But, in fact, after the first time he put it in the safe, he never opened it again …"
Hearing the old man's confession, Zhao Yu thought about it carefully. Although the old man's confession was similar to what he had imagined, he still felt that there was something wrong.
"Police officer," the old man clarified, "My brother told me all of this, but I have never seen it!"
"Moreover, these secrets were told by my brother after we went into exile. At that time, I only heard the news that the villa was on fire and a family of four died, but …"
"If my brother hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known anything at all!"
"Then … What happened after that? What happened? "Zhao Yu asked." How did you put the safe in the basement? And why did you run? "
Zhao Yu asked. "That was two years after the fire," the old man said. "Our business was known by more clients, and we were doing better and better, making a lot of money …"
"My classmates and I all knew that it was a crime for us to help people make false accounts and launder money, but we were still blinded by the money. Until one day, one of our important clients was arrested by the police, and we panicked!"
"At first, we were still hoping that the client wouldn't expose us, but unfortunately, the situation was much worse than we thought!"
"We were quite suspicious at first, because we made the accounts of the important client flawlessly. Logically speaking, it shouldn't have been found."
"So, my brother began to ask around, only to find out that we had been targeted by our peers!"
"The big client was arrested because someone had reported us!"
"Then, we knew that we couldn't get away with it. So," the old man said, "We packed our things overnight and prepared to run!"
"At that time, I foolishly asked my brother to open the safe and take out the money and information. But, I didn't know that there was a human hand in it …"
As he spoke, the old man fiercely pulled his hair and said dejectedly, "He actually kept that human hand in the safe for two years!! Moreover, because I've never opened it before, I've even forgotten the password! "
