Chapter 195 - BLOODY WEDDING (PART 10)

After listening to her explanation up until now, Fa Bojin leaned backward. "So, who do you think I met?"

"Your servant," Xue Lin answered. "He was working nonstop and serving the guests. He had to walk a lot. By chance, he saw you taking the third brother-in-law in the storeroom. At that time, he thought nothing of it but when we all found out the dead body of the third brother-in-law, he eventually began to suspect you.

"The reason he suspected you was because he saw you coming out of the second floor storeroom. However, not for once, he saw you going to the second floor using the stairs. The question came to his mind – how did his master go to the second floor without using the stairs?"

Xue Lin paused and chuckled. "He is very loyal. Isn't it, brother Bojin. He lied to the police and after they all left, he secretly went to talk to you. And, you threatened him."

Fa Bojin questioned her, "Why do you think I met him? How did you know I threatened him… unless…" His dark pupils constricted.

Xue Lin spoke, "Your suspicion isn't wrong. I met your servant after the police left today. He is so loyal that he didn't mention till the end who was the mastermind of this killing but he said the rest."

She didn't lie. After she came to inspect the house with the police, she noticed some unusual behavior from the servant. She wished to talk to him but she waited until the police were gone.

However, when she cornered him, he just wouldn't tell her anything. She wasn't someone who had lots of patience.

So, she did what she thought would be the easiest way to get information.

Whatever she did – is a secret. The author can't tell others.

"Then, he told you everything." Fa Bojin clenched his fists. He regretted believing in his servant. He should have made him the killer.

Xue Lin shook her head. "I already told you that he didn't reveal his suspicion. He kept it a secret."

Fa Bojin wasn't sure whether he should trust her words or not. He inquired, "Then what about the hidden elevator? It's small and behind an old dirty bookshelf. There is no way you would find it if you weren't told."

Xue Lin yawned and answered, "You are right. There is no way I would find it if I wasn't told. I wouldn't even think about it. After I found it, everything became clear to me. I knew the killer was you."

"One more thing." Fa Bojin wanted to clear his suspicion once and for all. "I found you fainted inside the elevator. I was working in the bas.e.m.e.nt and I heard the elevator move. When I checked, I saw your unconscious body there. Why were you unconscious? Was someone else with you?"

Xue Lin halted. She took some time to answer him. "…That question, I cannot answer you."

Fa Bojin frowned. "Why not?"

Xue Lin let out a forced laugh. She suddenly lowered her voice and carefully spoke, "I don't think you will believe me."

Fa Bojin didn't like the sudden change in her tone. His body became rigid. He looked at her in the eyes and told her, "Try me."

Xue Lin also gazed straight at his eyes. She whispered, "What if I say that third brother-in-law and fourth brother-in-law told me."

Fa Bojin stood up from the chair and shouted, "That's impossible! They are dead."

"They are indeed dead but not their souls."

"N-no way!" Fa Bojin backed down a little. His throat was dry. He gulped down his saliva but it couldn't moist his throat.

Xue Lin stated in a slow tone, "They are lurking inside the house. Brother Bojin, you cannot stay here. They will stay here and haunt you down. And then, they will kill you just the way you killed them."

She lowered her voice more to create pressure in the atmosphere. "Brother Bojin, they are after you. Their souls won't be satisfied as long as they can't take revenge. What will you do if they come for you?"

Fa Bojin shook his head vigorously as if to deny everything she had said. "N-no, that cannot be. There is no way they will come. I killed them. I killed those two without letting them know. They won't know who killed them…"

Xue Lin pestered, "But they do. They already died. Their souls got out of their bodies and they saw you moving the dead bodies… I mean their bodies. They must be aggrieved and enraged by your action. Just think how they will capture you and then torture. You will wish to go to hell instead."

"Ah! No!" Fa Bojin held his head with both hands and knelt on the ground. His body was shaking.

He was scared. He was scared of ghosts. Since childhood, he couldn't stand being alone at night.

If now the ghosts of his brothers-in-law start haunting him, he will die in a heart attack.

Xue Lin pitied her cousin. If someone who is afraid of ghosts can kill his own sisters' husbands – he must be very desperate and murdered them in a dire situation; this thought made her curious.

'What could make him so desperate that he had to kill them? A person who cannot sleep alone at night; a person cannot walk alone at night; a person who didn't know how to argue with his cousins; a person who was hot-headed and never thought too deeply; how could he murder his two elder sisters' husbands in such cold-blood?' she wondered.

Xue Lin asked, "Brother Bojin, why did you have to kill them? What did they find out? What did you do?"

Fa Bojin was shivering on the cold floor. He hysterically said, "It's all because of it. I didn't want it. I was fine by myself. I was happy with what I had. But… but they tempted me. They introduced me to luxury. They took me on the dark path. They dragged me in it and made use of me. And then, they…"
