Chapter 12: The Amazing Blood Case

Liu's words really scared Meng Yifan and me quite a bit.

Now we know who Li Xiumei is, the dried corpse dug out from the wall.

But I didn't expect that the corpse was still a murderer and committed a serious crime.

A woman, actually the murderer of the extermination case?

"Fifteen years ago, that case caused a sensation and even made it into the news."

Liu looked at us and said, "I wonder if you have heard of the Qin Island extermination case."

Meng Yifan and I looked at each other, both shaking our heads.

Fifteen years ago, we were only 11 years old. How could a child pay attention to these things, and at that time, the internet was not yet developed.

"That case, to put it bluntly, was caused by a conflict between the tenant and the landlord."

"The tenant is a young couple who, solely due to the issue of rent, harmed the landlord's family of four."

"At the scene, three corpses were found, except for the five-year-old daughter of the landlord and his wife who disappeared. The police have not found the whereabouts of this little girl to this day, and it is unclear whether she is dead or alive." Halfway through the meal, Liu Ge slowly recounted the massacre to us as he started drinking alcohol.

Fifteen years ago, in Qindao, a young couple rented a house, but absurdly, they never paid rent since they rented that house.

The reason is also very simple, it is that they don't have money. They come from the countryside and have just found a job. They haven't received any salary yet, saying that they will give it to the landlord when the salary is paid.

In this situation, almost no one would rent the house to them.

But the landlord is kind-hearted, and seeing that these young couple are from the countryside, he temporarily let them live in.

A month passed quickly, and the landlord went to collect the rent on time. In theory, this couple worked a month's shift and should have enough money to pay the rent.

But these two of them made up another reason at that time, saying that the elderly in their family were sick and their wages were sent back to the elderly for treatment, asking the landlord to grant them another month's grace.

If we were to say that the landlord was also incredibly kind-hearted, he actually believed it again.

In the following months, these young couple made up various excuses, in short, they didn't pay rent and lived in the house for six months in vain.

The landlord, even if kind-hearted, sensed something was wrong. He felt that he might have been fooled by this young couple.

So, he didn't listen to any excuses anymore and had a big argument with the couple, asking them to pay the rent for the past six months no matter what, otherwise he would report it to the police.

The young couple couldn't continue to deceive and were afraid that the landlord would call the police, so they agreed to pay the rent immediately, but they had to wait until tomorrow.

The landlord was not in a hurry for this day, so he didn't say much and waited for the next day to collect the rent.

But the next day, the landlord had to deal with trivial matters and asked his wife to collect rent on his behalf.

Surprisingly, these young couple are reincarnated demons and had planned to create a shocking murder case the night before.

Just as the landlord's wife found the young couple, they had already tied her up.

The landlord saw that his wife was not returning for a long time, so he asked his eldest son to take a look.

As a result, the eldest son went away just like his mother, never to return.

The landlord felt strange and went there again in person.

This family, like a gourd boy saving his grandfather, sent them one by one, and all sent themselves into the demon cave.

In just a few hours, a family of four were tied up with three people.

The young couple seemed to have already prepared to exterminate the house, so they went to the landlord's house and tricked his five-year-old daughter into doing so.

After tying up the landlord's family, these young couple looted all the cash and valuable items in the landlord's house.

Finally, a shocking murder occurred, and the landlord, his wife, and his eldest son all died at the home of the young couple. Afterwards, the police found the bodies of these three people at the scene, but only the body of the five-year-old daughter was missing.

"There is still no accurate conclusion on the whereabouts of that little girl, because we can't see a person alive or a corpse dead."

Liu Ge sighed and said, "Some people say that little girl has already died, died outside, and the body is buried somewhere. Others say that little girl didn't die, but was abducted by that young couple."

"This is the entire story of the extermination case fifteen years ago. Even if you search online now, you can still find reports about this case."

Meng Yifan and I were already stunned after listening.

This case is quite sinister, but what's sinister is that the landlord's family is so foolish? Do you have no defense at all?

It seems that people should not be too kind. It is said that the heart of harming others cannot be lacking, but the heart of preventing others cannot be lacking.

"So that corpse, also known as Li Xiumei, was one of the perpetrators of the extermination case fifteen years ago?" Meng Yifan asked.

Liu nodded and said, "This Li Xiumei, when she committed the crime, was called Li Yujiao. After the crime, she and her man ran away and later changed her name to Li Xiumei."

"The police have been searching for these two for fifteen years, but they didn't expect that Li Xiumei had already died fifteen years ago."

I heard it with some trepidation.

I thought this Li Xiumei was the victim. She had been killed and hidden inside the wall for so many years. She was a pitiful person.

I didn't expect this to be a demon.

It seems that she was killed not long after committing that murder case. I estimate that the person who killed her was her man.

But there was a question I didn't understand yet, so I asked Brother Liu, "Who was the original head of the house where her body was found? Doesn't the head of the house know that there is a body in his house? Is it possible that the head of the house is the murderer?"

Liu Ge sighed and said, "We are still investigating. We have investigated several heads of households here. There were three heads of households in that house, and the last one was surnamed Hu. You know him, and he has almost no suspicion. From my experience, the suspicion of the second head of households is not significant either."

"The most suspected one is the first head of the household. Just a few hours ago, we summoned him, but there is currently no substantial evidence to prove that he killed Li Xiumei."

Actually, who killed Li Xiumei didn't have much to do with me and Meng Yifan, but now we are likely entangled in Li Xiumei's wrongful soul, so I need to inquire carefully. As long as it is anyone related to this case, I need to understand it.

So I asked again, "What is the name of this first homeowner?"

Liu Ge recalled for a moment and said, "It seems to have the same surname as you, what's your name... Chen Guowen."

Upon hearing this name, my scalp exploded and my eyes widened wide.

And Meng Yifan's reaction was the same as mine, as the glass in his hand fell directly onto the table.

The name Chen Guowen... both of us have heard of it, and we can't be more familiar with it.

Because my dad's name is Chen Guowen
