Chapter 95 Epilogue
Ruan Su turned around, and it was Lao C who was supposed to have fainted on the table after taking the drug!
Lao Bing was standing at the door of the stairs, holding a short knife in one hand, and pinching Peng Ming's neck with the other.The blade was on the main artery on the side of Peng Ming's neck, and the fingers holding the handle were sour yellow.
Although he still looks like an old man on his face, his stature has long since lost the sluggish old look, and there is a sense of violence in every gesture.
Sure enough, there was a long scar on the side of his neck.
At this time, the situation became more and more precarious.
"...I'm sorry..." Peng Ming, who was caught as a hostage, turned blue, "He suddenly rushed over from behind, I..."
Ruan Su clenched his fists and walked a few steps out of the corridor.Jiang Kefan looked at them in astonishment, before he could react, "Old C!?"
Sure enough, things went too smoothly, but it was a dangerous signal.
Ruan Su was thinking about countermeasures quickly, when Lao C suddenly took the initiative to take a step forward.
"There are many gentle ways to solve it." He slashed the blade on Peng Ming's skin until some blood oozes out, "—the result is that you yourself chose the violent one."
When he opened his mouth again, even his voice changed.Lao C's voice became rougher and deeper, like the voice of a middle-aged man.
Ruan Su was silent for a while, staring at him and said slowly: "This sentence may also apply to you."
"You don't understand me," Lao C smiled lightly, "After you understand me, you will find that I have no choice at all."
Ruan Su sullenly said nothing.Jiang Kefan stared at him, pointed at him and said in surprise, "Hey... are you—"Li Ren"?"
Lao C paused for three seconds, then suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled jokingly.
Then, "Old C" suddenly pulled out a hand and put it on the side of his neck, and suddenly dug his nails into the scar on his jaw until blood slowly flowed out from between his fingers.
The scene hurt even just looking at it, Jiang Kefan subconsciously took a step back.In the next second, "Old C" put four fingers into his "skin" and exerted a sudden force, only to hear a "tearing" sound in the air—the human skin covering the surface turned out to be Come off!
The movement was too big, and the viscous blood mixed with the sticky stuff was thrown on Ruan Su's and the others' faces.Jiang Kefan almost retched, and wiped his face to suppress his nausea, but his hands were covered in blood.
Another tear, and the whole face fell off like this.
The man raised his hand and threw away the torn human skin.The human skin lost its attachments and instantly became soft and dry.It fell to the ground and became a puddle of paste.
Such a scene was so weird that everyone present frowned.
After wiping his face clean with his cuff, "Old C" finally revealed his true colors in front of everyone.
The man looked to be in his thirties, with a cropped cut and a leopard head with round eyes.Under the high bridge of the nose are light-colored thin lips, but there is a willful ruthlessness in the eyes.
Ruan Su looked at the man's face, and his expression became a little strange for a moment - he had seen this man before.
He was the one who led them to the corpse pit that night and injured Jiang Kefan with stones.
At this time, Peng Ming, who was restrained by him, was like thunder, and his palms were sweating immediately.
He turned his head to look at the man behind him. His appearance was completely different from Li Ren's. The only thing he had in common was that he was about the same age. Most importantly, his eyes were intact!
Ruan Su had a panoramic view of everything, and he had completely understood it.After a long sigh of relief, he answered Jiang Kefan and said, "...he is Li Ren, and at the same time, he is also 'Old C'."
Peng Ming was extremely surprised, this——what does this mean?
The man holding the knife suddenly laughed out loud, let go of his hand, and pushed Peng Ming towards Ruan Su.
Ruan Su reached out to take Peng Ming, and Jiang Kefan immediately rushed over to support him.At this time, the man said again in a deep voice, "When did you start to doubt me?"
Ruan Su looked into his eyes: "Start with the golden hairpin."
The man was silent.
"You released Fang Fei's information on purpose to attract us to find Li Ren's house." Ruan Su further analyzed, "In this way, you can wait on the sidelines and lure us into the stone pit to catch us all."
"It's a pity that you missed Xiao Huan. She is not a clerk in the sugar shop. Strictly speaking, she is on our side."
"It seems that it's still a hundred secrets and one sparse." The man smiled bitterly, "There will never be a perfect plan in this world, and this sentence is indeed true."
"You are really Li Ren..." Jiang Kefan opened his eyes wide and pointed at the medicine vat with trembling fingers, "These people/skins/masks/tools are all made by you."
It was the skin peeled off from one victim's face after another, and it was reassembled into one weird and real "face" after another, and finally put it on his head, giving him another new "face" identity.
That's why "Old C" has such a weird scar on his jaw.And because of working with medicinal herbs for a long time, his fingers have already been soaked in the potion, which has turned yellow and swollen.
And these are things that "fake Li Ren" does not possess.
The more direct evidence is that "Fake Li Ren" did not know that he had hidden a basement on the first floor, while "Old C" had all the keys to the pharmacy.
No one thought there was such a way.Peng Ming felt that his three views were about to be updated again, and he looked at Ruan Su in horror: "So, the previous...is Lao Bing's face?"
"It doesn't have to be Lao Bing's face," Ruan Su said, "It can be anyone."
When Ruan Su said this, Peng Ming immediately understood.Indeed, on the one hand, Lao Cing's son disappeared, and his daughter-in-law moved out again. He was alone with no one around; No one would be willing to check on an old man in his dying years every day.
So, just like that, Li Ren successfully used the "human/skin/mask/tool" to pretend to be Lao Bing's identity, so that he could attack Fang Fei!
"So, this is what Xiao Huan really meant when she said, 'I saw someone entering Fang Fei's bedroom, and she called that man 'Li Ren'." Ruan Su looked at the man in front of her, "She didn't mean the 'fake Li Ren' we saw. Jen'—it's you."
Peng Ming was suddenly shocked: "If he is Li Ren, then what I let go upstairs just now is..."
"Master Ai."
Ruan Su narrowed his eyes slightly, and followed his words.
The man smiled and nodded calmly: "Exactly."
After shedding the hypocritical skin, his smile was a bit ferocious, and it looked extraordinarily vivid.
Master Ai, who once despised and bullied Li Ren in every possible way, finally turned into "Li Ren" to suffer the pain he was going through!How ironic this is.
But how is this done?It's fine if the villagers can't find Lao Bing, why can't they notice what's wrong with Li Ren?The man in front of him looks very different from the "fake Li Ren", that is, Mr. Ai, even in stature.Such a trick of pretending to be fake can obviously be dismantled!
The man seemed to have seen what was on Peng Ming's mind, he raised his eyes, and his face was indifferent and pessimistic.
"The irony is that at the beginning, I didn't think such a method was really feasible. At that time... I just wanted him to have a taste of what I had been through."
When he said this, the man lowered his eyes, his face was a little tired.
"Later, I figured it out... In fact, not many people will seriously look at what 'Li Ren' looks like." He laughed self-deprecatingly, "What they really care about is what they see through 'Li Ren'. own appearance."
"What's more, wearing common clothes and blind, would you believe that he is that majestic Lord Ai? - Would you 'recognize' him as Lord Ai?"
The three of them were dumbfounded for a moment, Li Ren's words were irrefutable, reality is often more magical than drama.
"Hey, that one over there." The man said suddenly, pointing his hand in front of Peng Ming's eyes, "Are you also taken away by them?"
Peng Ming subconsciously swallowed his saliva. Seeing his reaction like this, the man smiled even more, and said quietly: "Then you have to thank me. If I didn't capture the person surnamed Ai, the next 'Li Ren' You are the one."
Only now did Peng Ming belatedly feel a chill running down his back. Li Ren's words made people think carefully and terrified. He didn't know whether to be angry or rejoicing.
At this time, Ruan Su broke the silence and began to analyze word by word.
"Those missing people in the village... I'm afraid they were all written by you."
Li Ren nodded: "Continue."
"You are proficient in herbology. By burning a large amount of medicine, you caused the villagers to hallucinate, and even poisoned us in the meals."
"The good thing about this kind of poison is that it makes you completely unaware that you have been poisoned." Li Ren smiled, "Your reaction, thinking, and physical strength have all subtly degraded. You begin to develop Hallucinations, but you are completely unaware of it yourself, thinking it was a 'ghost hit'."
Recalling all the bizarre events in the past, Ruan Su couldn't help but have mixed feelings.
"Then, you spread the legend of the magic mirror killing people to divert public attention and serve as a shield for your murder. At first, we were almost misled by you." Ruan Su sighed softly, "Finally, you wear Mask, take off Li Ren's identity, and gouges out the eyes of the 'fake Li Ren'... the person most suspected of committing the crime has lost the ability to commit the crime, it is really a good 'evidence to remove suspicion'."
Li Ren's face was gloomy, and he admitted frankly: "Yes, I cut out his eyeballs with my own hands, and said in his ear, 'Live as me from now on, or I will teach you to live a worse life. die'."
"Then, you have also considered that if there are too many corpses at one time, you will be suspected." Ruan Su paused, stroked the wall, "I understand it when I see this... This basement is the best place." The mortuary. After you 'process' the corpses here, you temporarily put the pieces of meat in the well of Lao C's house. Wait until the corpses are almost decomposed, and finally throw the corpses in the suburbs one by one."
"The night you kidnapped Fang Fei, we happened to be outside and gave you a chance. The cat in the basement should have been imprisoned inadvertently when you dragged the body to the lower floor. You said the cat here There are a lot of wild cats, and it is common for them to jump into people's houses to find food. And they especially like to move around at night, but—it just happens to give your 'monster theory' a lie."
Ruan Su continued, "Then, the second night. You went out and moved Li Chihuan's body to the outside of the mountain. By the way, you wanted to lead us into the pit to catch us all... But I didn't expect that I didn't get the trick. In the end, I lost my wife and lost my army. The plan failed, and your appearance was exposed to my eyes. In the end——you can only resort to the trick of deceiving us to lure us all into this basement."
After this analysis, Li Ren couldn't help clapping his hands in admiration: "...you are very talented in reasoning."
"You are also very talented in crime."
However, Li Ren shook his head: "I just finished what I always wanted to do. I didn't intend to kill you...if you didn't meddle in your own business."
Ruan Su took a deep breath, the game has reached this point, the experience is too depressing.But fortunately, they finally reached the last step.
"Wait—" Peng Ming suddenly felt that something was wrong, and asked in surprise, "but I have one last question—why do you pretend to be Lao C? Why... can't it be someone else? Change it to someone completely irrelevant." People, don't you want to be more convenient?"
The man smiled, but didn't speak.Ruan Su also fell into deep thought. Although Lao C lives alone, there is still a risk of being discovered.Yeah, why not just choose a more convenient identity?
"Because...you are protecting him."
Another voice suddenly appeared in the air, and the man's smile suddenly stopped.Peng Ming looked towards the source of the sound, and saw Jiang Kefan standing behind the crowd with a complicated expression on his face.
Peng Ming has not yet reacted, "Protect, protect? Why?"
Jiang Kefan took a deep breath, "Because...if it were me, I would do the same."
Then, he stared at Li Ren for a while, and said softly, "That old man is your savior and your only family member."
Ruan Su suddenly remembered something, and he looked back suddenly - at some point, in the fence behind them, the old man lying on the wooden bed actually sat up!
The old man's clothes were ragged, but two lines of hot tears slowly flowed down his wrinkled and haggard cheeks.
That was Li Ren's adoptive father—the real Li Bing.
Li Bing stretched out his hand, and gently stroked Li Ren's cheek through the fence.There seemed to be a thousand words to say in his tear-filled eyes, but at the end he could only utter broken syllables, sobbing.
Li Ren muttered, walking towards the railing with trembling hands: "Father..."
He staggered to open the fence, held Lao C's hand tightly, and suddenly laughed out of tears.
"You're right. In order to find the most suitable poison, I personally tasted all kinds of herbs, and experienced all kinds of ups and downs."
Li Ren said so, with a rare look of nostalgia on his face.
"But the only taste I can remember now... is the candy that my father fed me in the past. I can't get tired of eating that sweet little thing."
When talking about his father, Li Ren's tone was gentle, he finally took off his guard, revealing his innocent and soft side.
And Lao Bing seemed to understand Li Ren's words, and his eyes became even more moist.
It's the candy with the red wrapper!Ruan Su and the others still had some impressions. Fang Fei said that it was Lao C's specialty.
No wonder the house of "Fake Old C" is full of candy boxes... He plays the role of an old man who is about to lose all his teeth, but he always grabs some hard candy and throws it into his mouth from time to time, as if it was something he would never give up for a lifetime. Unmissable consolation.
Li Ren held Lao Bing's hand tightly, tears fell silently on his lap, the scene was particularly bleak.
The real Lao C is older than they imagined.His face was like wrinkled bark, his body was thin and weak, his eyes were sunken, and he sat on the ground absent-mindedly. He couldn't say anything except holding his son's hand tremblingly.
He must have also been greatly shocked and shocked.
Li Ren suddenly turned his head and murmured:
"Father also saw how miserable I was. I especially remember that when I was bullied by Li Chihuan, I always cried very sadly. At that time, my father would give me a candy and silently wipe away my tears... ..."
"But that time, Li Chihuan was drunk. I was locked in a hut and suffered all kinds of insults... That time, I didn't receive any more candy. Instead, my father whipped a bamboo whip and beat him viciously Meal."
"But I didn't feel relieved... Do you know? After that, my cowardly and timid sister-in-law listened to Li Chihuan's threats in order to cover up the 'family ugliness'. She not only kept the matter secret, but also helped him destroy the evidence and cover up the facts .”
"But on the other hand, she also blamed me, thinking that I caused her conscience to be disturbed and her family to be broken up. She regarded me as a thorn in the side, and when the person surnamed Ai came, they handed me over without hesitation. go out."
"It's not that I haven't thought about ending it all. But every time I close my eyes, I always think of my father's candy... I haven't had time to honor him properly, how can I leave first?"
"But I'm really at a loss..."
After hearing Li Ren's confession, all three people present felt lost.Li Ren is a person who looks weak but is extremely strong inside.He has suffered so much, but his wounded heart only needs one candy to heal.
Jiang Kefan's eye circles were a little red. For some reason, he suddenly thought of himself and Long Yuan.
"I don't regret what I did."
Li Ren helped Lao Bing up, hugged him in his arms, and took a deep breath.
"Li Chihuan...he is not my father's biological son. He is an abandoned baby just like me. It's just that he is the illegitimate child of Liu's mistress, and his biological mother left him at the door of his father's sugar shop, so that's why Adopted by a kind father."
After saying that, everyone was astonished.I thought Li Chihuan should be Lao Bing's biological child, but I didn't expect his two sons to be picked up.It seems that Lao C's kindness is indeed true.
But maybe, it was because he was too kind, too weak, and too conniving with Li Chihuan's crimes... that led to the current tragedy of fratricide.
"Father never treated Li Chihuan badly. But Li Chihuan felt that the whole world owed him. He disregarded the kindness taught by his father, cheated outside, beat and kicked his brothers and his daughter-in-law...he did all kinds of evil. I will go How can it be called a wrong thing to 'punish' such a sinner?"
Li Ren asked back word by word, mentioning the hateful past, his tone was also filled with anger.
But when he raised his head, he met Lao Bing's old eyes again.Li Ren's fist loosened at once, and his chest felt extremely sore.
"I have never owed this world, I hate this world to the bone. But..."
"The only person I'm sorry for...is my father."
"In order to isolate him from this crazy massacre plan, I personally built a cage and locked my father in." Li Ren sighed inaudibly, "But let him watch a son Dying in front of his face, another son torturing himself... how cruel it is."
Even so, Li Ren still misses his father who raised him.He was clearly the one who was hurt the most, but also felt the most guilty.This inner monologue made everyone present couldn't bear to be moved.
Jiang Kefan resonated most strongly.He rubbed his eyes, finally stepped forward, and patted Li Ren on the shoulder: "... Thank you for your hard work."
These comforting words seemed to hit Li Ren's pain, causing his tears to roll down uncontrollably.With tears in his eyes, he raised his head and glanced at Li Bing. The accident made his father ten years older, his temples were gray, and his wrinkles were full of sorrow, but also imbued with incomparable love.
Standing behind him, Ruan Su let out a long sigh.
Then, he strode towards Li Ren.
Jiang Kefan was the first to notice Ruan Su's movements. He looked blank and was about to ask what was wrong when Ruan Su squatted down in front of Li Ren.
"I'm not qualified to advise you, but—" Ruan Su suddenly stretched out his hand and tapped his knuckles heavily on Li Ren's forehead, causing the latter to gasp in pain, "This time, it's And you injured Jiang Kefan with a stone."
Jiang Kefan: ...
Peng Ming: ... At this time, do you still want to settle the old score! ?
Li Ren didn't see any anger, he just shook his head and smiled lightly.The three of them had just calmed down, but the warm atmosphere didn't last long. The next second, a huge monster suddenly slid in from the corridor!
"Hahaha... You are indeed here!"
Accompanied by the sound of the girl crying, "Fake Li Ren" once again appeared in everyone's sight.
Lao Bing was standing at the door of the stairs, holding a short knife in one hand, and pinching Peng Ming's neck with the other.The blade was on the main artery on the side of Peng Ming's neck, and the fingers holding the handle were sour yellow.
Although he still looks like an old man on his face, his stature has long since lost the sluggish old look, and there is a sense of violence in every gesture.
Sure enough, there was a long scar on the side of his neck.
At this time, the situation became more and more precarious.
"...I'm sorry..." Peng Ming, who was caught as a hostage, turned blue, "He suddenly rushed over from behind, I..."
Ruan Su clenched his fists and walked a few steps out of the corridor.Jiang Kefan looked at them in astonishment, before he could react, "Old C!?"
Sure enough, things went too smoothly, but it was a dangerous signal.
Ruan Su was thinking about countermeasures quickly, when Lao C suddenly took the initiative to take a step forward.
"There are many gentle ways to solve it." He slashed the blade on Peng Ming's skin until some blood oozes out, "—the result is that you yourself chose the violent one."

Peng Ming was extremely surprised, this——what does this mean?
The man holding the knife suddenly laughed out loud, let go of his hand, and pushed Peng Ming towards Ruan Su.
Ruan Su reached out to take Peng Ming, and Jiang Kefan immediately rushed over to support him.At this time, the man said again in a deep voice, "When did you start to doubt me?"

Li Ren muttered, walking towards the railing with trembling hands: "Father..."
He staggered to open the fence, held Lao C's hand tightly, and suddenly laughed out of tears.
"You're right. In order to find the most suitable poison, I personally tasted all kinds of herbs, and experienced all kinds of ups and downs."
Li Ren said so, with a rare look of nostalgia on his face.
"But the only taste I can remember now... is the candy that my father fed me in the past. I can't get tired of eating that sweet little thing."
When talking about his father, Li Ren's tone was gentle, he finally took off his guard, revealing his innocent and soft side.
And Lao Bing seemed to understand Li Ren's words, and his eyes became even more moist.
It's the candy with the red wrapper!Ruan Su and the others still had some impressions. Fang Fei said that it was Lao C's specialty.
No wonder the house of "Fake Old C" is full of candy boxes... He plays the role of an old man who is about to lose all his teeth, but he always grabs some hard candy and throws it into his mouth from time to time, as if it was something he would never give up for a lifetime. Unmissable consolation.
Li Ren held Lao Bing's hand tightly, tears fell silently on his lap, the scene was particularly bleak.
The real Lao C is older than they imagined.His face was like wrinkled bark, his body was thin and weak, his eyes were sunken, and he sat on the ground absent-mindedly. He couldn't say anything except holding his son's hand tremblingly.
He must have also been greatly shocked and shocked.
Li Ren suddenly turned his head and murmured:
"Father also saw how miserable I was. I especially remember that when I was bullied by Li Chihuan, I always cried very sadly. At that time, my father would give me a candy and silently wipe away my tears... ..."
"But that time, Li Chihuan was drunk. I was locked in a hut and suffered all kinds of insults... That time, I didn't receive any more candy. Instead, my father whipped a bamboo whip and beat him viciously Meal."
"But I didn't feel relieved... Do you know? After that, my cowardly and timid sister-in-law listened to Li Chihuan's threats in order to cover up the 'family ugliness'. She not only kept the matter secret, but also helped him destroy the evidence and cover up the facts .”
"But on the other hand, she also blamed me, thinking that I caused her conscience to be disturbed and her family to be broken up. She regarded me as a thorn in the side, and when the person surnamed Ai came, they handed me over without hesitation. go out."
"It's not that I haven't thought about ending it all. But every time I close my eyes, I always think of my father's candy... I haven't had time to honor him properly, how can I leave first?"
"But I'm really at a loss..."
After hearing Li Ren's confession, all three people present felt lost.Li Ren is a person who looks weak but is extremely strong inside.He has suffered so much, but his wounded heart only needs one candy to heal.
Jiang Kefan's eye circles were a little red. For some reason, he suddenly thought of himself and Long Yuan.
"I don't regret what I did."
Li Ren helped Lao Bing up, hugged him in his arms, and took a deep breath.
"Li Chihuan...he is not my father's biological son. He is an abandoned baby just like me. It's just that he is the illegitimate child of Liu's mistress, and his biological mother left him at the door of his father's sugar shop, so that's why Adopted by a kind father."
After saying that, everyone was astonished.I thought Li Chihuan should be Lao Bing's biological child, but I didn't expect his two sons to be picked up.It seems that Lao C's kindness is indeed true.
But maybe, it was because he was too kind, too weak, and too conniving with Li Chihuan's crimes... that led to the current tragedy of fratricide.
"Father never treated Li Chihuan badly. But Li Chihuan felt that the whole world owed him. He disregarded the kindness taught by his father, cheated outside, beat and kicked his brothers and his daughter-in-law...he did all kinds of evil. I will go How can it be called a wrong thing to 'punish' such a sinner?"
Li Ren asked back word by word, mentioning the hateful past, his tone was also filled with anger.
But when he raised his head, he met Lao Bing's old eyes again.Li Ren's fist loosened at once, and his chest felt extremely sore.
"I have never owed this world, I hate this world to the bone. But..."
"The only person I'm sorry for...is my father."
"In order to isolate him from this crazy massacre plan, I personally built a cage and locked my father in." Li Ren sighed inaudibly, "But let him watch a son Dying in front of his face, another son torturing himself... how cruel it is."
Even so, Li Ren still misses his father who raised him.He was clearly the one who was hurt the most, but also felt the most guilty.This inner monologue made everyone present couldn't bear to be moved.
Jiang Kefan resonated most strongly.He rubbed his eyes, finally stepped forward, and patted Li Ren on the shoulder: "... Thank you for your hard work."
These comforting words seemed to hit Li Ren's pain, causing his tears to roll down uncontrollably.With tears in his eyes, he raised his head and glanced at Li Bing. The accident made his father ten years older, his temples were gray, and his wrinkles were full of sorrow, but also imbued with incomparable love.
Standing behind him, Ruan Su let out a long sigh.
Then, he strode towards Li Ren.
Jiang Kefan was the first to notice Ruan Su's movements. He looked blank and was about to ask what was wrong when Ruan Su squatted down in front of Li Ren.
"I'm not qualified to advise you, but—" Ruan Su suddenly stretched out his hand and tapped his knuckles heavily on Li Ren's forehead, causing the latter to gasp in pain, "This time, it's And you injured Jiang Kefan with a stone."
Jiang Kefan: ...
Peng Ming: ... At this time, do you still want to settle the old score! ?
Li Ren didn't see any anger, he just shook his head and smiled lightly.The three of them had just calmed down, but the warm atmosphere didn't last long. The next second, a huge monster suddenly slid in from the corridor!
"Hahaha... You are indeed here!"
Accompanied by the sound of the girl crying, "Fake Li Ren" once again appeared in everyone's sight.
