Xie Wanhua turned around and walked forward again: "Although my sister has never loved Yang Jiakai, Yang Jiakai himself does not think so. From the moment he first saw my sister, he felt that my sister would fall in love with him."
"When Yang Jiakai found out that his sister didn't love him, the great pain caused him to awaken another personality of his, a child who was only six or seven years old, very selfish in relationships, and extremely cruel."
Xie Wanhua took a deep breath and said, "From then on, he took that child's personality as his primary personality. My sister couldn't stand his pestering and cut off contact with him, but she didn't expect to be killed by him. Yang Jiakai cast a hungry ghost curse on my sister and Tongtong."
"Brother-in-law, it's enough for you to know this. Don't listen any further. Those are definitely not the results you want to hear."
The Hungry Ghost Curse, to put it simply, is to bring the hungry ghosts from hell into the human world and eat up the target of the curse without leaving anything.
No wonder, Lao Du said that there was only a lot of blood and a small amount of corpses left at the crime scene. It turned out that Xie Wanqiao and her child were devoured by hungry ghosts. I guess Yang Jiakai must have sent the hungry ghosts back to hell in time, otherwise, there wouldn't be any corpse residue left at the scene.
Lao Du couldn't help but clench his fists. I could see that he was trying to control his emotions. "You already knew who the murderer was, right?"
"Yes!" Xie Wanhua said, "Maybe it's because of the telepathy between sisters. On the day my sister got into trouble, I was so restless that I couldn't help but rush to your house. As a result, I saw my sister's tragic death."
"At that time, my mind had gone blank and I didn't even know how to call for help. Fortunately, Yang Jiakai's child personality happened to appear at this time. He cried and told me that it was his elder sister who didn't want to play with him anymore..."
Xie Wanhua sighed and said, "I knew that was my only chance to survive. I suppressed my fear and squatted down, started to communicate with him, and even persuaded him to take me to his residence."
"At that time, Yang Jiakai was like a child, enthusiastically demonstrating many spells to me. The more he demonstrated, the more scared I became. The sorcerer's methods were beyond the limits of ordinary people."
Xie Wanhua turned around and looked at Lao Du: "If you knew the truth at that time, not only would you not be able to kill Yang Jiakai, but you would also die in his hands for no apparent reason."
"At that time, in addition to hiding the truth from you, I also had to gain Yang Jiakai's trust. In the shortest possible time, I had Yang Jiakai put a curse on the diary to cover up all the truth. This is why you have never been able to solve the case."
Lao Du gritted his teeth and said, "Then what?"
Xie Wanhua did not turn around in a hurry, but continued: "Then, I followed Yang Jiakai all the time, hoping to avenge my sister. But I found that although Yang Jiakai's main personality had become a child, he still had a strong sense of self-defense. As long as I showed the slightest hostility, his original personality would immediately take over. I almost died in his hands several times."
"Fortunately, my profession saved me. After I narrowly escaped death several times and successfully brought out the personality of Yang Jiakai's child, Yang Jiakai began to become suspicious of me. I had to change my strategy and hoped to kill Yang Jiakai through magic."
"I tricked Yang Jiakai into leading ghosts to my brother-in-law's house and caused a haunted incident. That was my first attempt. Unfortunately, although that attempt failed, it made me realize one thing: there is no sorcerer in Sanxi City who can fight against Yang Jiakai. I had to change my strategy again."
Xie Wanhua said: "After that, whenever I had time, I would play with Yang Jiakai. He gradually let down his guard, and I began to learn magic from him. After only five years, except for a few secrets that he insisted on not letting me know, I was better than him in every kind of magic."
People who can become the king in a certain field cannot reach the top just by hard work and practice. They should have something innate in their bones, which is called talent.
If a person is extremely talented and studies hard without any effort, he is destined to become a king in a certain field.
Xie Wanhua herself should be extremely suitable for practicing magic, and the hatred and threat to her life stimulated her potential, which allowed her to become a powerful magician within five years.
Xie Wanhua didn't know what I was thinking, and continued, "When I felt that I could kill people with magic, I set my sights on He Yang. Without him, perhaps all the tragedies would not have happened, so he deserved to die."
"Yang Jiakai knew I wanted to kill He Yang, but instead of stopping me, he was very happy. Because as long as my hands were stained with blood, I would become the same kind of person as him. Only in this way could he completely trust me. He simply let me deal with He Yang on my own."
He Yang died at the hands of Xie Wanhua. No wonder the method of killing seemed so crude.
Xie Wanhua stopped talking here, but I asked, "I can understand that you want to kill He Yang. But what about Wen Xin's matter?"
Xie Wanhua continued: "It's just a coincidence!"
"Wen Xin had long been on the verge of a mental breakdown under the oppression of the ghost guarding the Black Concubine's Tomb. He wanted to seek psychological relief, so he became my patient. If it were another psychiatrist, he might just treat him as a patient, but I discovered that the demon he was talking about was not something he imagined out of thin air, but a real ghost."
"After several attempts, I finally confirmed that Wen Xin had encountered a powerful ghost. At that time, I had another idea, which was to provoke a fight between Yang Jiakai and the ghost."
"After I told Yang Jiakai about my discovery, he became very interested in the Black Concubine's Tomb and began to urge me to help him find the whereabouts of the Black Concubine's Tomb."
When I heard this, I couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "Which Yang Jiakai are you talking about now?"
"The adult Yang Jiakai." Xie Wanhua said without hesitation, "Although the adult Yang Jiakai is not easy to deal with, he still has a kind of attachment to me because he regards me as a sister."
Xie Wanhua continued, "After I helped Yang Jiakai find out the approximate location of the Black Concubine's Tomb, he went to look for the tomb alone. As a result, he was seriously injured when he came back."
"I knew that Yang Jiakai's injuries were not as serious as I saw. That was his way of testing me. If I showed any intention of harming him, I would definitely die in his hands first. So, I simply took out the venomous snake I carefully cultivated to help him heal his wounds. At that time, he also began to truly trust me, and his original personality fell into a deep sleep."
Xie Wanhua said: "I also started the second step of the plan at this time - to strengthen the tomb-guarding ghost guard, that is, the bewildered ghost following Wen Xin."
"I tricked Yang Jiakai and got in touch with the ghost alone. I also reached an agreement with him - I helped him to strengthen himself and kill another ghost guard, and he helped me kill people."
"I thought my plan would go smoothly, but I didn't expect that the suspicious ghost would play tricks on me. I had to drag Wen Xin in as well and use him as a chess piece to play a game with the ghost."
I couldn't help but say, "So, Wen Xin got the confidence to challenge the ghost from you. Wen Xin also got the vajra from you, right?"
"That's right!" Xie Wanhua said, "I have been manipulating Wen Xin and fighting against Huogui for almost a year. I was about to win when you showed up and disrupted all my plans."
Xie Wanhua said: "From the first time you took Wang Shiyu away from the villa, I knew you were not an ordinary sorcerer. So, I simply stopped halfway and let Wen Xin and Huogui fight you."
"Facts have proved that my guess was correct. They are no match for you." While speaking, Xie Wanhua looked at me as if unintentionally.
I smiled faintly and said, "You didn't do anything? Not necessarily! When the haunted ghost drove the ghosts to chase us twice, you must have been involved, right?"
The bewitching ghost can indeed trick ghosts into working for him, but I found that the ghosts I encountered in several battles were completely different. Some were fearless and brave, while others were as timid as mice.
I originally thought that it was the result of the ghosts' own personalities, but now it seems that some ghosts should be obeying the orders of Xie Wanhua who is hiding in the dark.
Xie Wanhua said as a matter of course: "Of course! Otherwise, how can I be sure that you are an excellent warlock? Fighting for life and death is the best touchstone, isn't it?"
I didn't want to argue with her: "Just keep talking."
Xie Wanhua said: "After you killed the ghost, Wen Xin suddenly lost control, which was also caused by my curse. At that time, Yang Jiakai cast a curse on Wen Xin. It can be said that I manipulated Wen Xin to go to his death. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
"I admire you!" I did not notice any signs that Wen Xin was being manipulated at first. It seems that my cultivation was not high enough.
Xie Wanhua didn't seem to be complacent at all: "I know that once Wen Xin's case is over, my brother-in-law will definitely ask you to investigate my sister's case. If you were allowed to get involved at that time, you should be able to track down Yang Jiakai very quickly."
"According to my estimation, you were no match for Yang Jiakai at that time. I had to make him go through another exhaustion before I could let you deal with him. So, I took the risk and cast a spell on you. Fortunately, you didn't see it at the time."
I looked at Xie Wanhua: "How do you know that a part of my memory has been blocked?" (To be continued)
