Chapter 277 Termination Letter
Chapter 277 Termination Letter
Xiong Ying and Xiong Wu did not answer Lin An's question, but just took him to the agreed place and told him that he would know when he got there.
Lin An couldn't break free and could only accept his fate and move forward.
"We're here." The two Xiong brothers let go of Lin An.
Lin An looked at the seven strangers in front of him, his face full of caution, and asked, "Who are you and why did you let my brother bring me here?"
He Jiang didn't say much and directly handed the mobile phone and Bluetooth headset to him.
What was playing on the phone screen was the footage taken last night.
Lin An took it doubtfully. When he saw clearly what was on the phone, tears began to fall and his whole body began to tremble, as if he could not stand.
Xiong Ying and Xiong Wu hurried forward to support him.
They’ve seen the video.
The two brothers of the Xiong family had accompanied Lin An back to Wu Shi Village several times before and lived in Lin An's house, so they naturally knew what Lin Yuan looked like.
When they saw Lin Yuan lying lifeless in a pool of blood, they, as outsiders, felt heartbroken, not to mention Lin An, his brother.
At this moment, except for Lin An who couldn't stop sobbing with his hands covering his mouth, everyone stood there quietly without making a sound, as if they were mourning for the loss of a young life.
The video was not very long. After watching it, Lin An took off his headphones with trembling hands, looked up at the group of seven, his eyes full of bloodshot.
Lin An tried hard to stop the sobs in his throat and make himself look stronger.
He had never seen these people before and his purpose was unknown, so he didn't want to show his weakness.
Lin An maintained basic rationality and spoke very politely, unlike when they first met, when it seemed as if every word he uttered was full of thorns.
He looked at He Jiang and asked in a trembling voice: "Who are you? How did you get this video? What happened before? Do you know?"
Front?
The beginning of this video is naturally the process of Lin Yuan being killed. It's a pity...
He Jiang shook his head and said, “We secretly filmed this video after we heard the noise in the village.
Sorry, we don't know exactly what happened before this.
We asked Brothers Xiong Ying and Xiong Wu to bring you here because we felt that this video should not remain silent in our hands. As your elder brother, you may need this."
As he spoke, He Jiang pointed to the USB flash drive connected to the mobile phone.
Lin An glanced at Lin Yuan's pale face on the screen. He felt like his heart was bleeding and his face was full of pain.
Ning Chaoyan looked at his painful expression and couldn't help but frown along with him, feeling the same pain.
At this moment, all the words of comfort seemed pale. The two brothers Xiong Ying and Xiong Wu just silently reached out and pressed Lin An's shoulders, silently supporting him.
"Now is not the time to indulge in pain." He Jiang was extremely calm and reminded: "Lin Yuan is still lying there, waiting for the truth. Every minute and every second is precious.
We contacted you to ask if there is anything we can do to help you.
They took the risk to find Lin An, not because they wanted to see him lose his mind due to grief, nor because they wanted to simply hand him the video and consider the matter settled.
Lin Yuan’s death was by no means an accident. As the only person who is willing and qualified to find the truth for Lin Yuan, Lin An must cheer up.
"My sister was hit on the back of her head by a heavy object and died from excessive blood loss." Lin An's voice was hoarse, but every word he uttered was very clear and carried tremendous power.
"According to my parents, Yuanyuan was very anxious but very happy when she went out, saying that she went out because she was in a hurry to meet someone.
You should also know the rules of the village, the 10pm curfew and women cannot go out alone.
But Yuanyuan insisted on going out that night and was unwilling to wait all night.
My parents asked her where she was going and who she was meeting, but she refused to say a word and left in a hurry.
“So!” Lin An’s eyes were filled with hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said, “The man who asked my sister to go out and get something is most likely the murderer.
It’s just that I haven’t been home for a long time, and I really don’t know who or what is so attractive to my sister.
He Jiang asked, "Is there anything strange on your sister?
Judging from the direction she fell, she should have met the person she had an appointment with, got what she wanted, and was heading home.
Lin An's house is located between the village chief's house and the ancestral hall. The direction she fell was facing the village chief's house.
Unless Lin Yuan deliberately took a long detour to get the things, he must have been followed and injured on the way home.
And the position of the person who hurt her was also reduced.
Ning Chaoyan took out the hand-drawn map they had prepared in advance and analyzed: "Look, this is the distance from your home to the place where you were killed. Judging from your sister's anxious state and her inability to wait even a moment, she would not take a detour.
So if you walk in the opposite direction from your house, any house shorter than this distance can be basically ruled out, or even said,————"
Ning Chaoyan took out a pen and divided the entire village loop into two starting points from Lin An's home. She pointed to the middle point and continued, "There is only this main road in the village. It's so late and there are no lights on the roadside. As a girl, she probably won't take those rugged paths.
Therefore, the person she had an appointment with most likely lived between the murder site and this midpoint.
Lin An's gaze followed Ning Chaoyan's pen and was fixed on that section of the map. He looked at the road circled by Ning Chaoyan and carefully recalled the content of his recent conversation with Lin Yuan.
Suddenly, Lin An had an idea and his eyes focused on one point.
He Jiang noticed Lin An's change and asked quickly, "What's wrong? Are there any new clues?"
The others also stared at Lin An, waiting for his answer.
Lin An stretched out his hand and pointed firmly at a house on the map and said, "If it's this section of road, then the person living here is the most suspicious."
Seeing the confusion and bewilderment of the other people, Lin An continued to explain: "There is only one person in this family, a boy who is about my age. His parents were good friends with my parents back then, and in the presence of the villagers, they arranged a marriage for him and my sister.
I believe you can see that our village is different from the outside world. Although this child marriage has no legal effect, it is very authoritative in the village.
The contract can only be terminated if both parties reach an agreement and sign the termination agreement.
My sister has always regarded this boy as just a good friend, but she is not willing to spend her life with him just because of a so-called childhood engagement.
My sister has always wanted to live with me outside the village, and she once asked the boy if he was willing to go with her, but the boy emotionally refused.
If there is something my sister can’t wait for and must get overnight, the release letter must be one of them.
