Chapter 1871 Confession
"Hualien!"
Yanran screamed, looking at Hualian's bruised body, at a loss, and cast a panicked look at Wan Shufang, only to see Wan Shufang shook her head, stood up and walked back to Chen Changli.
"Murray, whom she just mentioned, may be a very important clue."
After hearing Wan Shufang's words, Harijula immediately understood and sent people to investigate this man named Murray.
After some searching, Harijula discovered that the mayor was named Murray, and quickly told the news to Chen Changli and Wan Shufang.
"Murray is the mayor?"
"Yes, I found out about this after asking everyone in Kali Town. To be honest, most people don't know about it. Only some elderly people know about it."
Harijula told the whole story of the investigation. Chen Changli and Wan Shufang looked at each other, and inquiry gradually emerged in their eyes. After a long silence, Wan Shufang spoke: "Harijula, you continue to investigate the cause of Hualian's death. Chen Changli and I will go to meet Murray."
"Okay." Harijula agreed and walked out of the room to arrange people to continue the investigation.
Chen Changli and Wan Shufang went to the woodshed. As soon as they opened the door, light shone into the room, causing the mayor and Grandma Zhang to shrink into the corner involuntarily.
The wounds on their bodies had already scabbed over, and because they hadn't taken a bath for a long time, there was a faint foul smell that filled the dull woodshed.
"Murray." Chen Changli shouted directly, but his eyes were fixed on the mayor without blinking.
But the man on the ground was slow to react. He looked away and raised his head and said, "You, what do you want?"
Chen Changli and Wan Shufang both saw the mayor's reaction. He was obviously not familiar with the name "Murray", which was why he took a while to respond.
Wan Shufang sneered. She didn't expect that she had caught the wrong person after all the attempts. She didn't say anything and directly pulled Chen Changli away, which made the mayor a little confused.
He stared at the door in confusion until it closed. Then he muttered to himself, "How did they know this name? Has he been found out?"
There was panic and helplessness in the mayor's eyes, but it all turned into a sigh in the end. Now that he was in prison, it had nothing to do with him anymore.
At the same time, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang returned to the front room, sat down and poured themselves a glass of water.
"He is not Murray. It seems that this mayor is not real either, but someone pretending to be him." Wan Shufang speculated, her voice heavy and full of seemingly endless sorrow.
Thinking of Prince Rong's replacement of his offspring, Wan Shufang believed that the mayor should have used the same method to confuse the public with the fake.
If she could think of it, Chen Changli would naturally understand it too. He nodded gently and said calmly: "It seems that we still have to start with the jade pendant."
"Well, that's all."
Wan Shufang agreed, took a deep breath, and was not completely confident about this method.
Having made the decision in their minds, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang had someone draw a pattern on the jade pendant and sent people to Kali Town and the surrounding towns to check one by one to see if anyone had seen the jade pendant.
For several days, they were busy investigating the jade pendant and ignored the person locked in the woodshed. He never showed up again. The mayor thought he had been exposed, but when he saw that no one came to interrogate him for several days, he was relieved.
"It seems that I thought too much, they didn't find anything..." He secretly felt lucky that he had escaped, but he didn't expect that the door of the woodshed was suddenly opened.
Several guards appeared and carried the mayor out. He was so scared that he couldn't help struggling, but was kicked hard.
"Ouch...what are you doing? Where are you taking me?"
"Stop talking nonsense and just follow us." The guards pulled him up again, dragged him out of the woodshed, and locked the door again. From beginning to end, Grandma Zhang huddled in the corner, not daring to say a word.
yard.
An elderly couple was tied up and stood in front of the mayor. They looked panicked and frightened, trembling all over, but they didn't say a word.
The mayor glanced at Chen Changli and Wan Shufang. The scrutinizing look in their eyes made him suddenly realize what was going on. He guessed the identities of the two people and looked directly at Wan Shufang: "What do you want to do?"
"Murray, you should know these two people. What do you think of this deal of using their lives to exchange for some real information?" Wan Shufang said slowly, took out a dagger and put it on the neck of the husband of the couple.
"Murray, think about it carefully."
She narrowed her eyes and waited quietly for the mayor to make a choice. Just now, he had guessed that these were Murray's parents, but he was not Murray.
The man's eyes flickered. He didn't care about the stranger's life or death at all.
"I don't understand what you are saying. I have already told you what I should have said. If you want to threaten me, then forget it. You can kill me or chop me up as you please."
"You mean, what you didn't say shouldn't be said?" Wan Shufang raised her eyebrows. Seeing that the mayor turned his head away and looked like he didn't want to pay attention to her, she didn't get angry and slowly put down the dagger.
The mayor refused to admit it, so she gave him a surprise.
Thinking of this, Wan Shufang reached out and removed the masks on the couple's faces. Only when the masks fell off did the true faces of the two people appear. The mayor's eyes widened little by little. These were his biological parents, not Murray's!
He was about to rush forward, but was held tightly by the guards and could not move for a while.
"Chen Changli, Wan Shufang, you...you!" The mayor talked for a long time but couldn't say anything. He just said that it was up to you to kill or chop them up.
"Since the mayor is so righteous, let us fulfill your wish."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Changli waved his hand, and someone immediately came to pull the couple down to a place where no one could see them. Soon, miserable screams were heard.
The mayor couldn't see his parents, but he could hear their screams, clear and piercing. He was a filial son and was in great pain at the moment. He wished he could bear the great torture for his parents.
"Look at you, working so hard for others, not only not caring about yourself, but also not caring about your biological parents."
"Can you bear with your conscience while watching them suffer this inhuman torture at their old age? Do the people you are loyal to care about your life or death?"
Wan Shufang spoke from the bottom of her heart, and her screams completely broke the mayor's psychological defenses. He collapsed on the ground, muttering to himself, "Stop, stop, I'll tell you everything."
"I'll tell you everything you want to know."
Seeing that he finally chose to confess, Wan Shufang curled the corners of her lips. Soon the screams stopped, and the mayor slowly spoke.
"I am indeed not Murray. My real name is Mu Tuo. I was originally from Xingyun Town. I was trafficked here and was bought by a woman to work for her."
"I tried my best to take the position of mayor, followed her arrangements, and spent more than ten years to create the Goddess of Immortality, and made the people believe in her without a doubt."
