The secret war is silent

Chapter 429 The Truth (2)

"Let's go and see the last one." Luo Yao sighed and turned to call Li Fu. At this time, a skinny old beggar walked in from outside with a cane.

With a stooped figure, he suddenly saw two people coming to where he was perching. He raised his head slightly and looked over with some surprise in his eyes.

This look happened to intersect with Luo Yao's.

Luo Yao was stunned.

Passed by by mistake.

However, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes soon, he turned around and shouted softly: "Stop."

The beggar didn't seem to hear him and kept walking forward.

"Boss Shi, are you crazy?" Luo Yao smiled faintly, looked at the retreating figure, and said slowly.

The beggar did not stop and continued walking forward.

"Don't you want to avenge your wife and children?" Luo Yao continued, "Are they all looking at you under the spring?"

The beggar's feet finally stopped, but he did not look back. However, it could be seen that his hand holding the broken bowl was shaking slightly, and it was obvious that his mood was not small.

"Boss Shi, can we talk?" Luo Yao turned back and asked.

"Who are you?" The beggar finally spoke, his voice hoarse, revealing a kind of sad tiredness and doubt.

"Someone who can help you." Luo Yao said.

"Then you go, I don't need your help." The beggar continued to walk in.

"Boss Shi, even if you find out the truth, you won't be able to avenge your wife and children. Those who killed them are not ordinary people," Luo Yao said.

The beggar stopped after he had just taken a step: "Why should I believe you?"

"Can we have a face-to-face conversation? You always turn your back to us, which seems a little disrespectful to us?" Luo Yao laughed.

The beggar thought for a while, and finally turned around, slowly raised his head, and revealed his face. Luo Yao and Li Fu couldn't help but be shocked when they saw it.

The smaller half of the face is as if earthworms are attached to it, and it is frightening to look at. If it were not covered by the fluffy and dirty hair, it would frighten the children walking on the street for most of the day. If such a face suddenly appeared at night, I'm afraid it will scare people out of their wits.

Half human and half ghost.

"You two have seen me, I'd better turn around."

"No need, we have seen people with worse looks than you. Besides, we don't judge people by their appearance. I just didn't expect it for a moment." Luo Yao really didn't know that Boss Shi would be so honorable. In this investigation report This does not seem to be mentioned, except that he was burned in the fire and was recovering from his injuries for more than a month.

"Since you're not afraid, let's talk inside." The beggar, probably Boss Shi, said.

"good."

The three of them entered the burned-down room together. The beggar later rebuilt it himself and made a shelter from the wind and rain.

There was nothing, just a shabby straw mat spread on the hay. The quilt was dirty and rolled up into a ball. There was no place to sit but on the ground.

"I have nothing here..."

"It's okay, let's sit on the floor and talk." Luo Yao and Li Fu sat down cross-legged. Do they have mysophobia or something? Besides, for soldiers, sitting on the floor is normal.

"How do you know I'm not crazy?" the beggar asked on the broken straw mat.

"Eye, whether a person is mentally disturbed or not, can definitely be seen in the eyes." Luo Yao said, "The moment you met me, your eyes were very clear. Although you were vigilant, you did not show any hostility. Moreover, when you passed by me, your steps suddenly increased by three points. If you were a lunatic, you would not have this sense of autonomy."

"Only normal people have autonomous reactions, so I judge that you are not crazy at all. You are pretending to be crazy." Luo Yao chuckled.

"Awesome, I've been pretending for so long, and this is the first time someone has found out." Boss Shi exclaimed.

"Boss Shi, you are fine, why are you pretending to be crazy?" Li Fu asked strangely.

Boss Shi smiled and looked at Luo Yao.

"There is no value in silencing a lunatic." Luo Yao chuckled.

"Awesome, awesome, you are the most powerful person I have ever seen. You explained why I pretended to be crazy in one sentence. Yes, I didn't recover from my injuries in the hospital. One night, someone sneaked into the ward to kill me. Fortunately, I It’s convenient to go out when I need to urinate. Otherwise, I would have become a pile of withered bones..."

Boss Shi didn't seem to want to hide it anymore. His pretending to be crazy was discovered. If Luo Yao and Li Fu were going to go against him, he would have no chance to resist.

Moreover, he seemed to know that his enemy was extraordinary, and he alone could not avenge him even if it cost his own life.

"It seems that my inference is correct. Your wife and children's room caught fire first, and then spread to your room. Then someone deliberately caused you to accidentally burn your coat with soot, causing a fire, and eventually burned your wife to death." It's an illusion." Luo Yao nodded, "Have you ever seen the person who harmed you?"

"No!" Boss Beggar Shi shook his head and said painfully.

"You must have found something, otherwise, you wouldn't have told us so happily." Luo Yao asked with a slight nod.

"That's right, I knew someone wanted to kill me and silence me, so I was sure that the fire that burned my wife and children to death was very strange. Later, someone came to me to investigate the cause of the fire, and I was even more sure that the fire was caused by someone. I am an oil mill businessman. People don’t dare to offend anyone. Anyone who wants my life has only one reason. They need to burn down my oil shop, and then they can’t let me speak out to avoid being traced to them. Later I heard that the people in Xiangcheng The cause of the fire was that my oil shop and two other companies suddenly caught fire at that time, so I became even more convinced that this was a conspiracy..."

"Why don't you tell the people investigating the case?"

"Can I tell you?" Boss Shi, the beggar, smiled sarcastically, indescribably desolate.

"Why can't you say that since the cause of the fire is being investigated above, as long as you express your suspicions, someone will naturally seek justice for you?" Li Fu asked.

"To be fair, they have all concluded that I accidentally caused the fire. Who would believe me as a lunatic?" Boss Shi, the beggar, asked.

"Uh..." Li Fu was speechless.

"It seems that you have indeed been wronged." Luo Yao nodded. If the National Government really allowed the people to trust it, why would it be like this?

"Why are you two suddenly so interested in my case?"

"Boss Shi, the water behind your case is very deep. We are specially here to conduct a secret investigation." Luo Yao explained, "We belong to a special investigation team."

"Why did you come here after so long?"

"I can't explain it in one or two sentences, but can you tell us the results of your investigation?" Luo Yao asked.

"I don't know your true identity, I can't tell you." Boss Beggar Shi said warily.

"How about you go with us to a place where someone can prove our identity, and then you tell us about it?" Luo Yaodao said.

"No, I won't go. I'm right here. You ask the person who can prove your identity to come over." Boss Beggar Shi insisted.

Luo Yao gave Li Fu a look.

"Okay, how about I ask him to call someone over and we wait here?"

Li Fu nodded, stood up and ran out.

"The call has been called. I'll be there in a moment." After a while, Li Fu came back and reported to Luo Yao.

Luo Yao was not idle either. He learned in detail from the beggar boss Shi about the fire that changed the fate of his family.

There were some things that were not reflected in the dossier, especially the details. Luo Yao even asked Boss Shi, the beggar, to take him on a new walk.

Luo Yao asked in great detail, almost not sparing any detail.

This level of seriousness made Boss Shi, the beggar, change his attitude towards Luo Yao. He was no longer so cold, and even took the initiative to tell some situations.

Half an hour later.

Li Haihuai, dressed in casual clothes, walked in from the door.

As soon as Beggar Boss Shi saw Li Haihuai, his expression immediately changed. It was obvious that they knew each other, and they might even be a little unhappy.

Li Haihuai also looked a little embarrassed.

"Shi Xueqin, are you not crazy?" Li Haihuai's mouth was filled with the smell of gunpowder. It was obvious that they had had conflicts before.

"Sir Li." Shi Xueqin said sarcastically.

"You guys are so good at pretending, you deceived me so hard." Li Haihuai said.

"Chief Li, I have no choice but to do this. If I didn't do this, I might have died a long time ago." Shi Xueqin explained.

"No life, who wants your life?" Li Haihuai asked strangely.

"Of course they were the ones who set fire to Boss Shi's wife and children. They didn't want Boss Shi to survive, so naturally they wanted to silence him." Luo Yao said, "They were afraid that Boss Shi would know something that would be detrimental to their hiding."

"But, what does this have to do with us? What do you know? You should tell me, can't we protect you?"

"You officers protect each other, dare I say that?"

"What do you mean?" Li Haihuai's expression changed.

Luo Yao also guessed that Shi Xueqin should know something, otherwise he wouldn't pretend to be crazy. Even Li Haihuai found out about him and insisted on pretending to be crazy and refused to tell the truth.

But now that he has been exposed as "pretending to be crazy", he can no longer pretend to be crazy.

"Boss Shi, can you prove my identity now?" Luo Yao said directly to Shi Xueqin.

"You and Chief Li are on the same team, can I trust you?" Shi Xueqin was silent for a while and asked slowly.

When Li Haihuai heard this, his nose was almost crooked with anger. He was also blind, and he didn't realize that Shi Xueqin's "madness" was just an act.

Of course, he didn't go in this direction at that time. After all, Shi Xueqin's "madness" had an understandable causal relationship.

"You don't have to say it, but for you, this may mean that you have lost an opportunity to find the real murderer for your wife and children, or even the only one." Luo Yao said.

The corner of Shi Xueqin's mouth twitched, looking even more ferocious. It was obvious that he was having a fierce struggle in his heart at the moment, and it was difficult to make a decision.

"I just want to tell you." Finally, Shi Xueqin said to Luo Yao.

Luo Yao glanced at Li Haihuai and nodded immediately.
