Chapter 487 What happened back then
At this point, Li Fenghuo looked at Su Qing hesitantly. In fact, he and Gu Xinsheng had speculated whether the person who robbed the antiques was Su Qing, but they both felt that it was unlikely. No matter what, no matter how capable Su Qing was, she was still a teenage girl. Did she really have the courage to kill someone?
Neither of them dared to believe it.
Su Qing naturally saw the looks in Li Fenghuo and Gu Xinsheng's eyes. Even Old Master Li was frowning, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Does this mean that she was the one who robbed the antiques?
Su Qing blinked her eyes. Although she really did it, she was not going to admit it. A truckload of antiques could be explained by her ability to control plants, but what about the shark man?
It was indeed she who killed those Japanese and the Onmyoji, but she didn't think that her relatives could accept the fact that she killed people while accepting that she had special abilities. After all, this was a society ruled by law, and it wasn't like the end of the world where such things were commonplace. Moreover, she didn't want to embarrass her relatives.
So, Su Qing smiled and said, "Grandpa, uncle, Uncle Gu, you won't doubt that I did this, right?"
"I don't think it's you." Li Fenghuo shook his head and said, "That Japanese Yin-Yang master is very powerful. He can be ranked in the top five in Japan. It is said that he can kill people without being seen."
Li Fenghuo had heard about the Japanese Onmyoji before, but he didn't believe it very much. But after learning that his niece could control plants and the case of Jin Zhiwei, he began to pay attention to the Japanese Onmyoji.
If such people come to China in the future, they must be the focus of surveillance.
Su Qing chuckled and said, "I don't have the courage to kill anyone."
Gu Xinsheng nodded and said, "You are still a child, how could you possibly have such courage? It is not something that ordinary people can do."
Thinking back to the time when he came back from his first mission, he had nightmares for half a month and even couldn't eat when he saw meat. With that kind of experience, he didn't think that Su Qing, an untrained girl, could remain calm and talk to them so calmly.
"I guess someone is secretly dealing with this group of Japanese." Mr. Li nodded and said, "There are still many brave people in our country."
Mr. Li's words made several people nod their heads.
After confirming that the robbery of antiques had nothing to do with Su Qing, Li Fenghuo and the others stopped talking about the matter. However, when they thought about how so many antiques and cultural relics from China had been secretly transported to Japan by the Akita family in recent years, they were filled with indignation.
And nowadays, there are still many tomb robbers in China working for the Akita family.
Speaking of tomb robbers, Li Fenghuo mentioned Du Xiangbao.
"We have secretly arrested the man called Du Xiangbao." Li Fenghuo said, "He confessed a lot of things."
When Su Qing heard this, she hurriedly asked, "Did you tell me about what happened to my father back then? What happened to them in the mountains back then?"
Li Fenghuo nodded and whispered, "Back then, Du Xiangbao and a few of his accomplices were looking for ancient tombs in Baihua Mountain. Once, when he was discussing something with a few of his accomplices, your father passed by nearby. They were worried that your father had heard their conspiracy, so they planned to go into the mountain to kill your father. Du Xiangbao said that when they were about to kill your father, they realized that your father had not heard anything at all. He was just passing by nearby and did not notice Du Xiangbao and his companions."
"However, Du Xiangbao and his gang felt that since they had started, they could not stop, so they decided to kill your father and the other two people. However, your father struggled to break free from them and ran away, but later fell off a cliff. They thought your father was dead for sure, so they left the mountain." Li Fenghuo was very indignant when talking about this incident: "His former brother-in-law was really wronged back then."
Su Qing listened to Li Fenghuo's words, pursed her lips tightly, and said: "So, the person who went out with Du Xiangbao at that time was also Du Xiangbao's accomplice."
"Yes." Li Fenghuo said, "However, he was injured in the mountains at that time and could not go back into the mountains to look for tombs, so he retreated. But according to Du Xiangbao, only the dead can retreat safely, so that person was also killed by Du Xiangbao."
"Did Du Xiangbao tell me which cliff my father fell off and the specific location?" Su Qing asked.
Mr. Li looked at Su Qing and said, "Qingqing, are you planning to go back to Northeast China?"
After Su Qing said this, Mr. Li knew what Su Qing was going to do.
Su Qing did not hide it, and nodded in response: "My father was innocently murdered back then. As his daughter, I cannot let him stay in the mountains like this. I plan to wait until the eighth day of the first lunar month, and go back to the Northeast before school starts, to look for him in the mountains. If possible, I hope my father can rest in peace."
The eighth day of the first lunar month is the wedding of Li Wan and Gu Xinsheng. Before that, Su Qing cannot leave no matter what.
Mr. Li and the other two all expressed their understanding of Su Qing's decision. After all, as children, they could not bear to see their innocent father's body exposed in the wilderness.
"Okay, then you can go back to the Northeast." Mr. Li nodded and said, "But there is one thing, Qingqing, you should do everything within your ability. You do have the ability to control plants, but you still have to pay attention to safety. There are always people with greater abilities in this world. You must not take it lightly when you go out alone."
Su Qing nodded: "Don't worry, grandpa, I understand."
Gu Xinsheng patted Su Qing's shoulder gently: "Qingqing, if there is anything you need help with, you must ask. I should also do my part for your father's affairs."
Su Shengjun is Li Wan's ex-husband. Gu Xinsheng knew about Li Wan's experience in Lihua Village. Although there were many strange people in the Su family, Gu Xinsheng was very grateful for Su Shengjun's protection of Li Wan. Now that he knew that Su Shengjun was innocently killed, he felt that he should do his part.
"Well, thank you Uncle Gu." Su Qing could naturally feel Gu Xinsheng's magnanimity, and she was very happy in her heart. Her mother's marriage was indeed a good one.
Mr. Li called Su Qing to the study, mainly to talk about Tian Qiu and Du Xiangbao. As for the capture of the tomb robbers later, Su Qing would not participate in it, so Su Qing left the study and went downstairs.
Before she went downstairs, Su Qing smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen.
"What a nice smell!" Su Qing's eyes lit up. It was fried meatballs. And as soon as she smelled the smell, she knew it was fried by Li Wan. She loved the fried vegetarian meatballs made by Li Wan the most.
Li Huan just came out of the kitchen holding a plate of fried vegetarian meatballs and fried pork chops. Seeing Su Qing, he smiled and greeted her, "Qingqing, come here quickly. They're fresh out of the pot."
