Chapter 140: Deceased Wife (28)
Shi Jinzhe: "Don't you have a house to live in? Why are you still supported by Lu Xiaohui?"
"No more. The house was mortgaged by Wang Luan for a loan, and all the money was used to support her extravagant lifestyle."
Manager Zhang admitted, "Lu Xiaohui is not a bad person. After staying in the hotel, I found that she was not showing off intentionally. The life that made Wang Luan jealous was just her daily life."
"So what happened next...?"
"Later, a man named Jueping started pursuing me, saying all kinds of things, but my father had passed away less than two years ago, and I was not in the mood to talk about love with him."
"Because his normal pursuit failed, he changed his method and planned to start with Wang Luan. That crappy book was the method he suggested to Wang Luan."
"Using myself as the obvious selling point and my father as the hidden selling point, Wang Luan, under the guidance of Jue Ping, portrayed herself as a poor person who gave everything for her children, was neglected by her husband and ignored by her family, in order to arouse people's resonance."
Manager Zhang's eyes never left Wang Luan on the ground. She nodded without complaint:
"I admit that such wives exist in many families, but Wang Luan is definitely not one of them."
She raised her head and asked the four people, "Do you know what she did?"
"As she showed off, Lu Xiaohui liked me more and more. She wanted to adopt me as her goddaughter. Wang Luan found out about this. In order to disgust Lu Xiaohui, he tricked me into giving me to that old pervert Zhang Anguo."
Manager Zhang said sarcastically: "When Zhang Anguo was abusing me, she and Jueping were outside the door. Jueping even peeped through the peephole and watched the whole process."
"I used to resent my father for his heroic sacrifice, thinking that he didn't consider his family at all when he did it. But when Zhang Anguo grabbed my neck and I was powerless to resist, I really hoped that someone like him could come and save me."
She paused, pursed her lips, and blinked twice quickly. "If my father were here, he would definitely come to save me."
“…Then, then how did you…” Meng Chengxi couldn’t bear to ask this question.
"How do I know?"
Meng Chengxi: “…Yes, yes.”
"The hotel is too old, and the telephone was cross-connected. I heard everything the two men were talking about on the intercom."
"I know that Jueping pursued me because of my reputation as a genius. I also know that these two people wanted to make a lot of money by creating an inspirational story of a tragic girl rising from the ashes."
Shi Jinzhe asked: "So you killed them?"
"I didn't think about it at first," Manager Zhang sighed, "I know Wang Luan only loves herself, but at least it wasn't easy for her to give birth to me. I thought she might have been bewitched by Jue Ping, so I went to confront her."
"When they were arguing, she got excited and said what she had really thought for so many years."
Shi Jinzhe: "The ultimate goal is still for herself, right?"
"Yes, I want to move up because the man who stabbed my father to death was only sentenced to two years in prison, and I can only make him get the punishment he deserves by contacting more powerful people.
But Wang Luan asked me to study so hard just to let me marry a higher-ranking son-in-law who would make her proud. "
Manager Zhang slumped his shoulders and said, "At that moment I felt it was meaningless. She angrily cursed that my father was stabbed to death and said it was a cowardly death, not tragic enough, and she couldn't use it as a gimmick, so I killed her.
When Zhang Anguo assaulted me, I stabbed Wang Luan wherever he hit me, not one more, not one less."
Shi Jinzhe glared at Wang Luan, who was lying on the ground in a shapeless state. No wonder the masked woman said that the person she saw had knife wounds all over his body.
The word "rape" is enough to explain how painful this behavior is for the victim.
Force is coercion, and violence is violence. Coercion is accompanied by physical beatings, which will leave many people with psychological trauma.
And Wang Luan just watched her own daughter being treated like this, just for her empty dream of making a lot of money and having face.
Matricide was an outburst of Manager Zhang's years of resentment, the collapse of completely denied beliefs, and a departure from his ideals.
Wang Luan’s ridiculous reason was the last straw that broke the camel’s back for Manager Zhang.
Manager Zhang took two minutes to calm down and continued calmly:
"After killing Wang Luan, I tricked Jueping to come over, drugged him, and strangled him to death with a telephone line. After I cleaned up the body, I wanted to turn myself in, but I ran into Lu Xiaohui by accident, and she stopped me."
After thinking about it, Shi Jinzhe thought that the reason why Lu Xiaohui refused to let him was probably because of Zhang Anguo: "Once you surrender yourself, Zhang Anguo will be implicated. She doesn't want that, right?"
"Yes, because she has no children, she turned a blind eye to Zhang Anguo's affair. She begged me not to expose it. Without Zhang Anguo, she wouldn't be able to run a hotel, so what would she do in the future?"
Manager Zhang closed his eyes and said, "Lu Xiaohui was very nice to me. I told her to give me half a day to think about it. But that afternoon, she was hit by Zhang Anguo's mistress and her leg was broken."
"While lying in the hospital, she finally realized the reality that tolerance would not bring about a change. She told me that she worshipped a snake and she wanted to kill Zhang Anguo, so I helped her do it."
At this point, the reasons for the three deaths and one disability were all clear.
Sheher, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke, “Thank you for speaking out.”
She just wanted to leave quickly, but this required Manager Zhang to expose his own scars and recall these sad experiences again.
The game is really not a thing.
Sooner or later the system will be killed.
“Those ghost-exorcising tools were also made by you, right?” Shi Jinzhe confirmed again.
“Well, these three people are still not at peace even after their death, and have scared the guests several times, so Lu Xiaohui found someone who knows the business, and broke the original feng shui, changing it from gathering wealth to dispersing wealth, and dispersing all the energy here, including the ghost energy.
She used offerings to scare off several people. These clothes were soaked in chicken blood and alum for 49 days. Wearing them can drive away ghosts. I would change into them every night and walk around the corridor to scare them away. "
Meng Chengxi was curious: "Aren't you afraid of scaring the guests?"
"If they are scared, they won't come again. It's better for them too."
"Aren't you scared?" Xiao Fang's face was still a little pale, "That's a ghost."
"I killed the people, what should I be afraid of?"
Manager Zhang picked up the bloody clothes on the ground. Wang Luan was corroded into a pool of dark blue liquid. The ghost aura dissipated and he was deader than dead.
"Do you have anything else to do? If not, I want to go upstairs to see Lu Xiaohui."
Shi Jinzhe: "One more thing, why is the place where Lu Xiaohui lives completely sealed off?"
"The person we invited asked us to do this, saying it was to protect Lu Xiaohui."
"I see." A game decryption popped up in Shi Jinzhe's mind, and a notice allowing him to leave early popped up. He watched Manager Zhang leave.
"Wait a minute." Sheh suddenly called Manager Zhang, "This is for you."
A piece of lavender cloth appeared in Shekh's hand. It was very small and could be tied around the wrist at most.
Shi Jinzhe recognized that it was the snake shedding she had left last time.
"You wear this on yourself."
Manager Zhang glanced at her tail and took the cloth, "Thank you."
She took two steps and turned back to tell Shehe, "You give me a more comfortable feeling than the one Lu Xiaohui offered. I will keep this one."
Shehe didn't say anything. After Manager Zhang left, she told the other three, "Leave here as soon as you can. The danger in this dungeon does not come from ghosts."
As the most important clue figure, Manager Zhang’s words just now were a very clear reminder.
The snake provided by Lu Xiaohui is much more dangerous than these three ghosts.
