Li Cong’s voice trembled, “My mother passed away twenty years ago. Master, can you tell me how she died?”
Lin Xi’s expression turned serious, “Murder.”
“What?!”
Li Cong couldn’t believe it, “Who killed my mother?”
Twenty years had passed, and his memories of his mother were gradually fading, but he still remembered the days she was by his side.
“Mom, I want to eat meat.”
“Okay, Mom will make chicken soup for you today.”
“Mom, I don’t understand this problem.”
“Cong Cong, you solve it like this.”
“Mom, we’ll never, ever be separated.”
“Cong Cong, when you grow up, you’ll have your own family, but Mom will always be by your side.”
However, his mother left him alone.
For all these years, Li Cong had a knot in his heart.
He wanted to find his mother and ask her why she left him.
So, it was like this; his mother was murdered, she didn’t leave him.
At this moment, Li Cong felt both anger and sorrow, “I must find the murderer and avenge my mother!”
He clenched his fists, “Master, who is that person?”
Lin Xi looked at him deeply, “Do you have a photo of your father?”
“Yes.” Li Cong suddenly had a bad feeling, “Master, what’s wrong with my dad?”
Lin Xi slowly analyzed, “The person in the photo has the ‘lower three whites’ eye formation, prominent brow bones, and a broken mountain root, which indicates he is a man who will punish his wife and harm his children. He has a violent, irritable, and malicious personality.”
“There is a cross-shaped pattern in his marriage palace, and it’s tinged with a hint of blood.”
Lin Xi said each word clearly, “Your father is the one who murdered your mother.”
“This…how is that possible?”
Li Cong’s eyes widened in disbelief.
His father killed his mother!
Lin Xi said, “Think carefully, twenty years ago, when your mother suddenly disappeared, did your father seem unusual?”
Li Cong tried desperately to recall, saying anything that came to mind.
One day twenty years ago, he came home from school and searched the house but couldn’t find his mother.
He asked his father, “Where did Mom go?”
His father’s expression was strange, and he grabbed Li Cong’s shoulders tightly.
“Cong Cong, your mother took the family’s money and ran off with another man. Don’t mention her again, understand?!”
Li Cong didn’t believe him.
His mother was a very gentle person, and she would teach him homework after doing housework every day.
His mother had said she would always be there to see him grow up.
His mother didn’t know any other men, it was impossible for her to leave him.
Li Cong opened his mouth to ask, but his father’s gaze was so frightening that he didn’t dare to speak.
Later, the neighbors all knew that his mother had left them and ran off with another man.
Whenever they mentioned his mother, they would curse.
“Slut! She seemed gentle on the surface, but she was secretly having affairs.”
“Tsk tsk tsk! You can’t judge people by their appearance, who knows how many times she’s cheated.”
“Poor Li Peng, he has to raise a half-grown boy.”
With so many people cursing his mother, Li Cong also believed his father’s words.
His mother had left him and ran off with another man.
Now, Li Cong had a happy family and a successful career.
However, every time the night was quiet, he couldn’t help but think of his mother, and that incident.
He heard that there was a Master on Antique Street, and Li Cong went to find his mother with a try-it-and-see attitude.
It turned out the truth was like this.
His father had killed his mother and spread rumors that she had run off with another man.
Li Cong covered his face and cried, “Mom, I miss you so much…”
He cried, and the onlookers cried with him.
“Such a pitiful child, his own father deceived him for twenty years.”
“His mother is the one who’s truly pitiful. Even in death, she’s still being slandered.”
“In our village, there were always rumors that someone’s wife had left their child and ran off. Now, thinking about it carefully, it’s terrifying. Who knows if they really ran off or were buried somewhere?”
“Yeah, I’ve heard about that too. It’s really chilling.”
Li Cong cried for a while, then wiped away his tears and clenched his fists.
He knew the truth, and he would naturally seek justice for his mother.
All these years, his father had been badmouthing his mother in his ear.
A year after his mother left, his father married a new woman, and he felt like a ghost in his own home.
No one remembered his birthday, no one cared if he had eaten…
Li Cong studied hard and got into university, escaping from that home.
Every night, he missed his mother, her warm embrace, the food she made…
Yet she’d lie eternally in the chill of the grave.”。
Li Cong’s eyes welled up with tears, “Master, where is my mother…buried?”
Lin Xi calculated with her fingers, “Under the jujube tree in your old home’s backyard.”
“Thank you, thank you, Master.”
Li Cong swayed as he got up, “I’ll come back to thank you after I bury my mother.”
Lin Xi pulled out a talisman, “Wait, give me a strand of your hair.”
Li Cong obediently followed, pulling out a lock of hair.
Lin Xi took the hair and placed it on the talisman, chanting an incantation.
The hair merged into the yellow talisman and disappeared.
Li Cong vaguely saw a flash of golden light, and he asked puzzled, “Master, what is this?”
“A tracking talisman.”
Lin Xi explained, “If you can’t find the remains, put a drop of blood on it, and the talisman will automatically find your mother.”
She added, “You still remember her, and your mother naturally remembers you.”
“Thank you, Master.”
Li Cong paid the money, not thinking much of her words.
He held the tracking talisman and rushed back to his old home.
Fortunately, his old home wasn’t far from Di Jing, a two-hour drive.
Li Cong went home first and grabbed his father who was inside, “Come with me.”
Li Jun was sleeping on the bed, and he was suddenly awakened, his temper flared up.
He cursed, “Li Cong, you’ve grown wings now, you dare to defy me!”
Li Cong stared at him coldly, “You’re not my father.”
Li Jun exploded, “Li Cong, what do you mean? You don’t even recognize me?!”
“If I hadn’t raised you, you would have starved to death!”
“You’re not my seed? Whose seed are you?”
“Could it be that your mother had an affair and left behind a bastard?!”
Li Cong’s eyes were red, and he grabbed his father’s collar tightly, “You have no right to mention my mother, you murderer!”
Li Jun’s heart tightened.
Twenty years had passed since that incident, it was impossible for this foolish son to discover the truth.
Li Jun’s eyes darted around, his confidence clearly lacking, “What exactly do you mean?”
Li Cong didn’t want to talk to him, he forced him into the car.
As the car left Di Jing, Li Jun saw the familiar roads, and his heart grew increasingly uneasy.
Why did Li Cong suddenly go back to his old home?
The car stopped at the entrance, Li Cong pulled him out, “Come on, go to the jujube tree and see my mother.”
Li Jun was afraid, “I’m not going, let me go!”
Li Cong was strong, he couldn’t break free, and he was dragged to the jujube tree.
The jujube tree in the backyard was very tall, much taller than the other trees.
At this time, the jujube tree was full of branches and leaves, and it was covered in flowers.
Li Jun felt very cold here, a chill went through his heart.
He struggled hard, “Li Cong, let me go, I don’t want to come here.”
Li Cong clenched his fingers and roared, word by word, “You don’t want to come here, but my mother has been lying here for twenty years! Twenty years!”
A trace of panic flashed in Li Jun’s eyes, “Li Cong, you’re crazy, everyone knows your mother ran off with another man, what are you talking about?”
Li Cong’s eyes were bloodshot, and he choked his father’s neck, “Mom didn’t leave me, you killed her.”
“You killed her!”
