《Horror Stories of Tang Dynasty Ⅱ》E39
Episode 39
Following Governor Zhang's urgent report, the conspiracy surfaced - the three elders were tempted by Cao Xiao's large sum of money and joined forces to lay a trap.Cao Xiao used the store and gold and silver treasures as bait, and the four people secretly colluded and behaved despicably.Lu Lingfeng was filled with doubts, wondering whether this conspiracy stemmed from Cao Weng's foresight. If so, the depth of his family's intentions would be horrifying.
Su Wuming pondered for a moment, then turned to his junior brother and earnestly warned him: “The way to solve a case is to avoid jumping to conclusions. Only with iron-clad evidence can we understand the truth, otherwise we will easily get lost in the fog.” Later, Lu Lingfeng proposed to go to He Keke's store together, hoping to open a new chapter there.
Facing the inquiry, He Keke looked innocent and claimed that his goods had not been delivered to the Cao family. He was also shocked by the sudden change in the Cao family.
When Cao Weng saw the delicacies sent by Su Wuming in his claustrophobic home, he felt a hint of warmth mixed with the bitterness.He knew very well that even though he was behind bars, Su Wuming and others still treated him fairly, and they were only temporarily restricting their freedom.
Ye Lai took the snacks from Cherry, feeling grateful in her heart.She is well aware of her humble position in the Cao family and is always alert to potential threats. This care is particularly precious to her.
Cao Rong looked at Xue Huan, with mixed emotions in his eyes, and confessed his greed.If it weren't for greed, her family's wealth would be enough to make her worry-free, but her desires are hard to satisfy.After an in-depth investigation by Su Wuming, he discovered that there was hostility towards Duobaoduo in his family, especially Cao Weng, who resented the identity of Duobao's non-biological son and frequently punished him severely.Cao Xiaoxiao revealed that although Duobao took care of her, she also knew that Duobao's life experience had been exposed, so she drugged her to try to hide the truth.
During the interrogation, Cao Weng admitted the existence of red-necked poison and passed blame with another suspect, making the case even more confusing.Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming were confused and couldn't decide who was the real murderer.
Lao Fei said bluntly that Cao Xiao's behavior was suspicious and consistent with the characteristics of the murderer.He speculated that if Cao Weng really took the blame for his daughter, it might reflect the deep love of his father.However, Cao Weng took the blame and claimed that he killed the innocent Duobao out of jealousy and anger.He kowtowed to his ancestors and repented, willing to exchange for spiritual salvation in the name of his family.
Su Wuming lamented his lack of physical strength and praised Cao Weng for being strong.Lu Lingfeng was worried about how to help Cao Weng out of trouble, while Cao Xiao cried bitterly and blamed himself, admitting that Duobao was killed by mistake due to a dispute over family property, and was in great pain.Su Wuming revealed the truth and it was not Cao Weng who poisoned him. Cao Xiao was shocked and eager to know who the real culprit was.Su Wu's famous words and the deep love between father and daughter almost allowed the real murderer to go free.
