Chapter 31 Empathy Confidant
"This night pearl..."
As soon as Yu Qingfeng opened her mouth, she heard a "boom" behind her.
She hurriedly turned around and saw that her wife had fallen down and was lying on the ground in a faint. Fang Qingpei beside her didn't even notice that his wife had fainted and stared blankly at the night pearl in Yu Qingfeng's hand.
Lin Ming motioned to his men to help the fainted housewife to the house next door, and then introduced:
"This luminous pearl fell from the corpse. Just now the government officials removed the stone slab on the stone well. I looked down. If it hadn't been for this bead, the well would have been pitch black. I saw the gleam of the luminous pearl and smelled it.
Until the body rots..."
Fang Qingpei looked up to the sky and screamed, kneeling on the ground, holding his hands on the ground, and howled loudly.
"This bead belongs to Fang Yingqiu." Yu Qingfeng rubbed the luminous pearl in her hand, not feeling at all that the bead taken from the corpse was dirty and unlucky.
"This is Yuan Kun. Yuan Kun gave Yingqiu a token of love. This is an heirloom of the Yuan family. Yingqiu always carries it around as a treasure!" Fang Qingpei cried.
The widower in the house heard the sound and came out. He took off the scarf covering his face. He first looked at the wailing Fang Qingpei in surprise, and then called back to Lin Ming.
"Let me tell you, Mr. Lin, that the corpse is that of a woman, seventeen or eighteen years old, and she died about half a month to a month ago."
"What's the cause of death?" Lin Ming asked.
"Well, it's hard to say, but she looks haggard, as if she has been starving for a long time, and her throat is corroded and she can't make a sound. She is considered mute."
"Corrosion, corrosion... Mute... We Yingqiu are not dumb, we Yingqiu..." Fang Qingpei stopped crying and muttered dreamily.
Yu Qingfeng walked slowly to the stone well and looked down.
It was pitch black and bottomless, like the entrance to hell.
Yu Qingfeng's eyes gradually blurred, and she seemed to see a flash of fluorescence in the darkness. A small body was curled up under the dry well, holding a luminous pearl in both hands. Next to it was a wooden barrel containing food and filth.
"One year, one year, spring, summer, autumn and winter, three hundred and sixty-five days, a year! In this dry well. I originally thought, at least, it would be a wine cellar, in a house... even if
She has become the plaything of Yang Zhi, a pervert, but at least she still has human treatment, with food and drink, enough air, and light..."
Yu Qingfeng was furious, dizzy, swaying, mumbling, and almost fell forward.
Pei Wuyan hurried forward and pulled Yu Qingfeng away from the stone well and into his arms.
"There is light, this pearl of the night, which is her light. It is with this little glimmer of light that she endures humiliation and survives for a year until the end. Now, no one can separate them anymore."
Pei Wuyan whispered in Yu Qingfeng's ear with a moved expression. His moved expression and his words were only for Yu Qingfeng.
Yu Qingfeng leaned weakly on Pei Wuyan, her legs trembling. If it weren't for the support of Pei Wuyan's arms, she would have slid down Pei Wuyan's body.
Raising her head and looking at each other very close to Pei Wuyan, Yu Qingfeng found resonance in the other person's deep eyes.
At least at this moment, Pei Wuyan understands her. He is no longer a bickering enemy, an opponent in a chess game, nor is he the male protagonist she wants to tease and the stepping stone for her promotion to the leading heroine.
He is a confidant who can empathize with her.
Shen Yuxia came back to his senses and asked Lin Ming in disbelief:
"This body is the missing Fang Yingqiu? Why is the body of Miss Fang here? Is it in the Yang family or was it found in this stone well?"
Obviously, Shen Yuxia also knew about Fang Yingqiu's disappearance. Fang Qingxuan really regarded him as a loyal dog and told him such a secret matter.
Shen Moli, who had been silent all this time, gritted his back molars and said angrily: "It must be Yang Zhi, the beast, who imprisoned and tortured Miss Fang. Yang Zhi deserved his death, and died well!"
"Mo Li, what are you talking about? Even if Yang Zhi has done many evil things, what about the other fifteen members of the Yang family?" Shen Yuxia scolded her daughter sternly.
Yu Qingfeng took a deep breath, tried to adjust her mentality, stood up straight, and broke away from Pei Wuyan.
"Except for two children, all fourteen members of the Yang family died unjustly!" Yu Qingfeng squeezed out these words through her teeth that shocked the entire audience.
"Miss Yu..." Lin Ming felt that Yu Qingfeng's words were inappropriate. He was afraid that if the people watching outside heard it, or if it was spread by the government officials present, Yu Qingfeng would get a bad reputation.
With a cold face, Yu Qingfeng slowly raised her finger to point in the direction of the stone well, then raised her arms and turned to point to the entire backyard.
Everyone's eyes followed her, first looking at the stone well and then scanning the backyard.
"Fang Yingqiu was imprisoned under this stone well for a year, and this stone well is located in the Yang family's backyard. Everyone has also seen that this backyard is the Yang family's brewery, Yang Zhi's parents, wives and children, Yang's parents and servants, all Everyone is busy here.”
Lin Ming suddenly realized and closed his eyes silently.
Yu Qingfeng took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, keeping her voice steady and not trembling.
"The air in the stone well is limited, so the stone slab must be removed every day for ventilation. The stone slab weighs dozens of kilograms, and it must be moved by two people. In addition, hemp ropes and wooden barrels are used to transport food in and remove waste every day. , Yang Zhi can’t do this kind of thing himself, right?”
"You mean, everyone in the Yang family knew that Yang Zhi imprisoned a girl underground, but no one rescued her or reported it to the official?"
Shen Moli couldn't believe it. After all, she was also a woman. Apart from Yu Qingfeng, she was the only one present who felt the most sympathetic and indignant.
"Huh, report to the official? They don't dare and don't want to. The Yang family is the in-laws of the county magistrate and they rely on them. They are the same as Yang Zhi. Maybe there is a little pity at the beginning, but day after day, I no longer feel guilty and guilty, I just think that I am raising a domestic animal under the well for a full year!"
Lian Shurong kicked over a wooden barrel under his feet and cursed angrily: "Beast!"
"That's right, they lost their hearts and became the same beasts and beasts as Yang Zhi. Isn't this Yang family a den of snakes and rats, and they deserve to die?"
Yu Qingfeng glanced coldly at the Shura field half a month ago, and all the pity and regret she had for the innocent dead in the past was gone.
"Death well!" Shen Moli concluded again, more confidently, "No matter who is the real culprit in the murder case, kill him happily!"
Yu Qingfeng's sharp eyes were directed at Shen Moli, who obviously shared her hatred, and she snorted coldly.
"Except for the innocent children, the death of the Yang family is not a pity, but the murderer who massacred the whole family and framed Liang Lei is as unforgivable as Yang Zhi. The Liang family's father and daughter were innocently implicated, so how can their injustice be counted?"
Everyone was silent, and in the silence, a voice of scattered thoughts emerged. Fang Qingpei was sitting on the ground, his body swaying, his face was ashen, and he was like a wandering soul, muttering.
"Why, why did Yang Zhi treat my Yingqiu... My enemy is dead, who should I take revenge from?"
Everyone present was confused and full of questions. They didn't know where to start or who to ask.
But Lin Ming knew who to ask. He knew that the first person to understand the truth was Yu Qingfeng, so Yu Qingfeng asked him to bring people to search the Yang family to find secret rooms where people could be hidden.
"Miss Yu, what happened to the Fang Yingqiu case and the Yang family murder case?" Lin Ming became the spokesperson and asked the biggest question in everyone's mind.
Yu Qingfeng closed her eyes and calmed down, "Okay, then I'll start from the beginning, from the beginning of sin one year ago."
"Humph, who do you think you are? Do you want to tell me?" Shen Yuxia smiled scornfully.
Yu Qingfeng was organizing her words. She didn't know how to start this sad story. Shen Yuxia appeared to be annoying at this time, so let's start with Shen Yuxia and let her vent her anger.
"Captain Shen, do you know your guilt?" Yu Qingfeng turned to Shen Yuxia and asked disdainfully.
"What a joke, why am I guilty?"
"Stupid and incompetent, a crime of dereliction of duty."
Yu Qingfeng turned to look at Fang Qingpei, "You don't have to regret that you can't get revenge. Except for the beasts of the Yang family, all your enemies are alive. The first is Shen Yu, Xia Shen."
