On the live stream, I committed the perfect crime

Chapter 365 Tit for tat

It was only at this moment that Vincent rushed to Lin Feng's side, holding Lin Feng's hand tightly, and said with concern: "Lin Feng, please don't be impulsive. Things are not at the point of no return yet."

As he spoke, he glanced at Hong Xiuming, who was not far away, and said, "He's just a small lieutenant general. How could he dare to kill so many people? If he really did that, do you think he would have a place in this world?"

When Hong Xiuming heard this, his originally calm face instantly turned ashen.

However, before he could lose his temper, Lin Feng stepped forward and covered Vincent's mouth, while his crazy eyes signaled him to stay calm.

After all, a good man never suffers a loss in front of him.

Then, a faint smile, like the warm spring sun, appeared on Lin Feng's face. He straightened his body and said in a clear voice, "Don't worry. Since I have already stood up, it means that I have thought it through carefully and considered all the consequences I will face."

Hong Xiuming snorted coldly, the sound seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, with a hint of chill.

He gave Vincent a meaningful look, his eyes filled with threats and disdain, and said coldly, "You're right. I certainly don't dare kill all of you, but killing just two of you who are talking nonsense and inciting the people is more than enough to solve this small problem."

When Vincent heard this, he was immediately furious, his eyes burning with anger. He was about to open his mouth to refute, but was stopped by Lin Feng's piercing gaze.

Lin Feng coughed lightly twice, adjusted his breathing, and made his tone deep and steady. "The story goes back 17 years ago. At that time, the Monba people lived and worked in peace and tranquility on Baizhen Mountain. Tian Xiaowei and Huang Xu were the local household registration officials at the time. When they heard that the Monba people had a treasure, they became greedy and secretly contacted Hong Dazhi, who was serving as the lieutenant general in Datong Prefecture at the time, and his subordinate Erhu.

These men, colluded with one another, came to our clan's residence, hoping to force the whereabouts of the treasure. Unfortunately, they failed, and in their rage, they set fire to the entire village, their methods brutal and ruthless. Unbeknownst to them, a pair of brothers happened to be playing outside at the time, luckily avoiding the devastating disaster.

Hong Xiuming snorted impatiently, his brows knitted into a "川" shape. He asked in an irritable tone, "What about that student named Guo Lin? He shouldn't have been born when this happened, right? Even if he was born, he was just a little baby. What does this have to do with him?"

"This question has troubled me for a long time,"

Lin Feng paused, his gaze as firm as a rock, and continued, "It wasn't until that day when the blind man kidnapped me into the altar that I realized that one of the five statues in the cave looked particularly new."

At this point, Lin Feng emphasized his tone and said decisively, "It's the hammer-killing cursed statue. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to the cave to check. They will soon notice a significant difference between the two - the material used for the hammer-killing statue is completely different from the other four statues.

In other words, the statue was added later. In other words, Guo Lin was not in the murderer's original plan..."

This time, before Hong Xiuming could speak, the others around him could not contain their curiosity and started asking questions one after another.

"Hey, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us everything right away. We're getting so anxious!"

"That's right. If that's the case, then why did Guo Lin die? And who killed him?"

"Lin Feng, you're not making this up right now, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng's face lit up with a confident smile, one that revealed calmness and determination. "Actually, you all misunderstood Guo Lin. On the surface, he appears unruly, like a wild horse that's hard to tame, but in reality, he's incredibly thoughtful. Do you remember what I found in his fingernails?"

This time, everyone said in unison without hesitation, "Muyan pollen!"

"That's right. He was desperately trying to find a dusky rosy flower to give to Xiaolong. But who could have imagined that after he finally found the flower, a sudden downpour of rain, huge raindrops clattering down, left him with no choice but to hide in a nearby cave.

Coincidentally, while he was hiding from the rain, he ran into the real murderer, who was setting up a blood altar in the cave. To avoid unnecessary complications and exposing himself, the murderer killed him. Then, he added a statue of a man being killed by a hammer in the cave, which is why this statue looks so different from the others.

Hong Xiuming's expression changed slightly, as if he had been struck in the heart. He feigned composure and said coldly, "If that's the case, then what are we waiting for? Let's all go to the scene and take a look. This will save you from having to deny it later."

This time, no one raised any objections. With complicated expressions and their own thoughts in mind, they slowly walked towards the mysterious cave in the mountain behind the academy.

The journey wasn't short, but fortunately, we were traveling with many people. Even though there was little communication and the atmosphere was a bit dull, due to the large number of people, no one felt the time was long or difficult.

Because there were enough soldiers entering the cave this time, and each of them held a burning torch in their hands, in an instant, the cave, which was originally as dark as ink and eerie, was illuminated as bright as day.

Even those originally bloody, terrifying and horrifying statues, now looked less hideous and terrifying under the bright firelight.

Before Lin Feng and others stepped into the cave, they heard bursts of exclamations coming from inside the cave.

"It's true. This hammer-killing curse statue is truly different from the other four."

"That's right. It still feels a little sticky to the touch. It feels like it hasn't dried completely yet."

"This Lin Feng is no simple matter. But if he had already discovered this, why did he wait until now to speak out?"

"Who knows? I guess we'll have to wait for him to tell us in person later."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Lin Feng's mouth curled up slightly, and a faint, somewhat complacent smile quietly emerged.

Watching this scene, Hong Xiuming's face instantly turned ashen. With his eyes wide open, he asked Lin Feng, "Since you already knew all this, why didn't you tell me as soon as possible?"
