Chapter 23 The Cause
"Young masters, we can still discuss it." Xia Chen was almost dragged up the stairs, and only after realizing why he ran for his life did he say these words.
After a crescent-shaped sickle streaked across the sky with a silver light, the heavy floor-to-ceiling curtains were all drawn.The people outside the house didn't seem to realize that something happened inside, and they were still concentrating on their work, but inside the house, the police officers who had been searching everywhere were gone.
"What's the situation?" Ou Ze looked around at the stairs, seeing the lights in the corridor brushing up, making them focus by the light, he panicked all at once.
The gold-lacquered railings were broken, and the walls and doors were twisted together.Seeing the earth-shaking changes in front of him, Xu Yang froze for a few seconds before saying, "Go, go to Father An's study!"
Back at the scene of the crime, An's father's body has been moved away, leaving only traces of fixed lines depicting his distorted posture at the time of death.
Xu Yang walked last, and immediately put down the wardrobe next to the wall to block it after closing the door.Ou Ze followed closely, picked up the armchair and piled it on top, blocking the blade that broke through the door.
Xu Yang backed away quickly, barely avoiding the hand blocking the door from under the tip of the knife.Accompanied by a loud noise, wood slag splashed.From the gap that opened downward from the top of the door, he saw a very black eye with contempt, as if looking at a prey that had nowhere to escape.
The next cut was horizontal, and he staggered back a step, causing a quarter of the door to fall off.And the sickle seemed to be really eager to harvest people's heads, and quickly stretched in through the small window.Seeing this, he didn't dare to approach, and quickly returned to lift up a corner of the sofa.Ou Ze and Ji Qiuyun trotted over to help, and together pushed it against the small window.
After the door was piled up with heavy objects that could be found, Xu Yang caught a glimpse of Vivienne opening the window from the corner of his eye while he was slightly relieved.
A car came not far away, Yan Chen got down from above, raised his head and looked at Xu Yang, giving him a comforting look.
A smile appeared on the corner of Xu Yang's lips unconsciously, and after turning his head, his tone became lighter: "It's all right, we'll use up enough energy to be saved, and if it doesn't work, we'll jump from here."
However, after speaking, he heard that the door panel seemed to be removed again.Everyone took another step away, only Vivian stepped forward with a gun.
A scythe with shining human eyes stretched into the door, pointing at the people in the house one by one.An Mu tilted his head, with a terrifying smile on his lips, "Dear guests, if you still insist on the so-called justice, there are too many heavens and you don't have many.
Goodbye, everyone. "
Then, seeing that the silver blade was about to swirl in, Xu Yang took the gun from Vivian's hand, lowered and fired.
An Mu was interrupted by the gunshot, and retreated while protecting his two younger brothers.At this moment, Bai Ying came from downstairs, caught off guard the three An brothers, and tied them firmly to the railing.The sickle that had been released from his hand slid down, and plunged into the floor of the hall with a loud noise.
A few minutes later, police sirens whistled outside the villa, and Lan Ke hurried to the study on the third floor, watching through the small window on the door as several people inside were panting and moving heavy objects.
"How did you destroy the crime scene?" She pushed her glasses, her face darkened.
Xia Chen stopped working, raised her head and cried, "Mr. Lan, our lives are going to be lost, so please stop being picky. We..."
Lan Ke didn't seem to care about how serious the previous situation was, and said, "Remember to call the police first if there is something next time," before waving and leaving.
Xu Yang hummed lightly, and didn't say much, just said: "After you go out, wait for me in the lobby, I have something to hand over to An Sen." To be precise, it should be returned to the original owner.
After a long time, Xu Yang found An Sen in the thin snow, who kept people away like a wounded little animal.After standing beside him for a while, he still whispered calmly: "I'm very glad that you didn't actually do anything about these cases. Your two elder brothers should have brought you in because of Mrs. An's sake. I won’t talk about poisoning, but you really don’t want to make mistakes in the future.”
Anson glanced at him with red eyes, breathing heavily from his nostrils.
Xu Yang didn't care that the other party was still covered in thorns, and took out the letter from his pocket again and handed it out, "Although it may be a long time, the two brothers will always come back, and together we can fulfill Mrs. An's wishes in spring, summer, autumn and winter."
Anson opened the letter in a daze, and read the words on it with tears in his eyes:
Spread the letter good.
Mumu, Alin and Komori, please forgive me for not being able to be by your side for a long time to come.But it doesn't matter, in a few years, mother will be able to come back and watch you continue to grow up.
We will go on a spring outing together to see the mountains full of flowers, and then go out to sea to ride the wind and waves and watch the bright starry sky in summer night.We will also walk through the wheat waves together, to pick apples and hawthorns, and then in the coldest winter, you can hug together by the fireplace and listen to mother's storytelling.
……
With that written, my mother has already begun to look forward to it.But in the end, the most important thing is that you must take care of yourselves.
Mom, I will always love you.
***
After leaving An Sen's side, Xu Yang returned to the hall with the scythe in front still stuck on the ground.He carefully looked at the handle made of black wood and the crescent-shaped blade in front of him one step away, and suddenly fell into a trance for a moment, feeling that he had witnessed such a scene before coming to Anjia Village.
He recalled it carefully, and slowly remembered that he was standing in a gloomy old castle at that time, and the crescent moon on the huge skylight was facing the crystal coffin in the center.
He cautiously bent down and grabbed the rotten death scythe in the coffin. A strange feeling came to his mind, but he couldn't wait for his reaction.In a blur of consciousness, he heard someone calling his name, one after another, until there was a sudden muffled groan accompanied by blood gushing.
At the last moment when he closed his eyes, he saw those golden pupils again, which said no regrets.
"Brother Yang, Brother Yang!" Vivian hurriedly called Xu Yang, who was pale, "What's wrong with you?"
Xu Yang felt powerless all over his body, as if he had just climbed out of an abyss, and his heart was filled with fear.He moved his lips, and suddenly asked, "Whose funeral did you attend before?"
The girl was stunned, and her eyes moved to the outside of the door, but her reaction had already told the answer.
On the other side, Xia Chen looked at the latest information on the phone, and asked this way: "Brother Yang, you're here again, do you want to pick it up?"
"Take what, a few lives are enough for you to take the risk, sleep!" Xu Yang blurted out, turned his head and walked towards the gate, only to find that the red and blue police lights had gone away one after another.
He remembered that he had left his bag in the guest room, hurriedly trotted back to the second floor, opened the door and entered.
The lights in the guest room were turned off, and the curtains were half drawn.After the snow in the night sky, the clouds cleared and the fog dispersed, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the person standing by the window, reflecting pure white brilliance.
After seeing the person clearly, Xu Yang pursed his lips tightly, and after a while he adjusted his emotions, and said leisurely, "I didn't expect to be here."
He smiled slightly, "I'm looking for you, Yan Chen."
