"A renowned doctor really does know his stuff. I just checked his fate-Wang Xiaoming has been dead for two months," Lin Fan said with a smile.
Being able to determine the approximate time of death from the video alone sparked Lin Fan's interest in the renowned doctor Qin Yu. But he had already used up most of his energy today. If he tried to divine Qin Yu's identity as well, he would probably pass out from exhaustion.
[Chu Conqueror: Where are the people who said there wasn't a body? Come on out! You actually questioned Master Lin's abilities. What a joke!]
[Ragdoll Cat: A master really is different. He simply doesn't make mistakes, okay!]
[Ninety Below Zero: There are always troublemakers who refuse to believe the master. If he says there's a body, there's definitely a body.]
[Wandering Geomancer: Hmph, he only got it right once. Have the master tell us who killed Wang Xiaoming and who buried the body here. If he gets it right, I'll kneel outside his shop tomorrow and apologize for three days and nights.]
[Fan Fan: LOL, is the person above in the same business? Competitors really are natural enemies!]
A fellow practitioner?
Lin Fan saw Wandering Geomancer's username. Judging by the name, this really did seem to be someone in the same line of work.
Apparently, a fellow practitioner wanted to test his abilities.
"I can't back down in front of someone in the same business."
Lin Fan's interest was piqued. He had originally planned to wait for Uncle Cop to investigate, but since a fellow practitioner had shown up, he might as well show them what he could do.
"Wang Xiaoming died by suicide. He wasn't murdered."
"As for who buried the body, it was Wang Xiaoming's younger sister."
"Wang Xiaoming was the man in an incestuous relationship with his own sister. As the saying goes, bury a body at someone's door, and disaster will strike within three months."
Just then.
Uncle Cop finally arrived at the scene. They quickly began investigating, and a forensic examiner arrived as well. Their investigation confirmed that Wang Xiaoming had indeed died by suicide.
One of the Uncle Cops approached Han Lei and said to the camera, "Viewers, the forensic examiner has confirmed that Wang Xiaoming died by suicide."
Forensic examiners were professionals. No one disputed their findings.
[Ninety Below Zero: Ha, where's that geomancer who was acting so cocky? The master said it was suicide, and the forensic examiner confirmed it. Convinced yet?]
[Ragdoll Cat: Fellow practitioner, stop smearing the master! His abilities are a hundred times greater than yours!]
[Chu Conqueror: Didn't they just say that if the master got it right, they'd kneel outside his shop for three days and nights? I'll be waiting to see it!]
[Wandering Geomancer: He only got half of it right! Why did Wang Xiaoming's own sister bury the body here?]
That comment immediately piqued the viewers' curiosity.
They were just as curious about why Wang Xiaoming's sister would do something like this.
"I get it."
Suddenly, Han Lei gave a bitter smile. "This is the revenge you mentioned, Master. Wang Xiaoming's death must have had a lot to do with me exposing his incestuous relationship with his sister back then, right?"
Master Lin looked surprised. Han Lei had actually figured it out himself.
He nodded. "That's right. After you exposed their relationship, their whole family had no choice but to leave the place where they'd been living."
"But you exposed them all over the internet. You even posted their photos online. Wherever they went, the people around them would point fingers and gossip."
"Last year, their parents couldn't bear the online harassment anymore and chose to end their lives."
"And two months ago, when Wang Xiaoming saw that his sister had found someone new, he also chose suicide."
"Your name was all over his suicide note."
Master Lin chose not to conceal anything and told him the truth outright.
It was a melodramatic truth.
[Boss Xiu: What a soap opera. Their parents died because of the siblings' relationship, and then the sister fell in love with someone else a year later!]
[Psychological Counselor: It's clear that the sister loved her brother deeply, so when she saw the name in his suicide note, she naturally investigated. Once she learned that Han Lei was responsible for everything, she chose revenge.]
[Wandering Geomancer: Hmph, who knows whether Master Lin just made up a story? I don't believe it!]
[Ninety Below Zero: Do you think you're Lu Yu, always saying you don't believe it? Hurry up and buy your plane ticket. I want to see you kneeling in front of Master Lin tomorrow.]
"Brother!"
Just then, a woman rushed out of the house next door. She threw herself onto Wang Xiaoming's body, then turned back and glared at Han Lei with hatred. "Impossible! Han Lei, how could you know I buried the body here?"
The sister had appeared!
Han Lei's mind erupted into a stampede of curses. Wang Xiaoming's sister had actually been living next door to him all along.
No wonder he had never seen his neighbor go out.
"I have a master helping me. Do you?"
Shaken by how close he had come to disaster, Han Lei said, "Thank goodness the master gave me guidance. Otherwise, I wouldn't even have known what killed me."
Chapter 38: Cruel Words Wound the Heart!
[Boss Xiu: The master is awesome!]
[Ragdoll Cat: Master Lin never makes mistakes. Are you convinced yet?]
[Ninety Below Zero: This sister is terrifying. Your enemy is your neighbor-tell me that wouldn't scare you.]
"When will this cycle of revenge ever end?"
Lin Fan sighed. Han Lei undeniably had a hand in the destruction of Wang Xiaoming's family.
But Han Lei had been driven to it.
During Han Lei's freshman year, Wang Xiaoming had used all sorts of methods to humiliate and torment him.
When Han Lei fought back, Wang Xiaoming had even brought more than a dozen people to beat him so badly that he ended up in the hospital.
A little while later.
Uncle Cop took away the body and Wang Xiaoming's sister. Although they couldn't charge her with a crime, she would certainly be given a stern talking-to.
"Han Lei, come by later. I need to take your statement."
Some of the Uncle Cops stayed behind. They took out their phones and began watching Lin Fan's livestream.
Han Lei nodded, then looked at Lin Fan and asked, "Master, am I safe now?"
There was a trace of hope in his eyes. He wanted Lin Fan to give him an affirmative answer.
"You're getting ahead of yourself."
Lin Fan shook his head and said bluntly, "Because your three roommates aren't the only people you've offended."
He used the Qi-Observing Technique. The black aura surrounding Han Lei had diminished somewhat, but it hadn't completely disappeared.
"You've got to be kidding."
Han Lei looked bewildered. He couldn't think of anyone else he had offended. Apart from his three roommates, whose family troubles might drive them to harm him, did he have other enemies?
"Ever since you were emotionally traumatized, you've become the internet's notorious number-one hater."
"Countless streamers have suffered terribly under attacks from your army of haters."
"One of them used to go by Fat Sister. Do you remember her?"
Fat Sister?
Han Lei racked his brains, desperately searching his memories, but he couldn't recall a streamer called Fat Sister.
Every year, he attacked at least a thousand streamers, if not ten thousand. He simply couldn't remember their names.
[Black Fan Team: Boss, Big Fatty, the one who weighed three hundred jin! Did you forget? You once led three thousand of us into her stream to attack her, saying she was ugly and no one would ever want her.]
[Black Fan Team: Afterward, she desperately tried to lose weight and even went to a hospital for plastic surgery. But she still failed to lose weight after having part of her stomach removed. She was scammed out of three hundred thousand for the cosmetic surgery, and the procedure ended in failure too.]
Cruel words wounded the heart.
Han Lei froze for a moment. He remembered now. Half a year ago, he had torn a streamer named Fat Sister to shreds with his attacks.
But he had no idea what had happened to her afterward.
After attacking a streamer, he almost never continued following them.
[Boss Xiu: Suddenly, I don't feel sorry for Han Lei anymore. Sure, he was bullied his whole life, but as the leader of a hater army, he's hurt plenty of streamers.]
[Ragdoll Cat: He deserves it. Master Lin, don't help him!]
[Ninety Below Zero: Agreed. This number-one hater isn't worth helping. Now it looks like everything he's going through is exactly what he deserves.]
As Han Lei read the comments scrolling past, he fell silent.
He had viciously attacked one streamer after another merely to vent his resentment at society's unfairness.
He had never considered the consequences.
[Magical Little Snail: If it were me, I'd take revenge on the people who bullied me, but I wouldn't take it out on strangers.]
"Was I wrong?" Han Lei murmured.
"You were completely wrong. Take your grievances to the people responsible. As a hater, you hurled abuse at streamers regardless of whether they were good people."
Lin Fan said calmly, "But it's not too late to turn back. You still have a chance."
"Fat Sister was the only one who suffered serious consequences from your attacks. As long as you're willing to change your ways from now on, I can help you."
Everyone made mistakes.
Perhaps the mistakes Han Lei had made were difficult to forgive.
But Lin Fan intended to give him a chance. Without that chance, Han Lei would undoubtedly die.
"Master, help me."
Han Lei dropped straight to his knees and bowed his head to Lin Fan. "I'll make amends to the streamers I hurt, especially the kindhearted ones. I'll apologize to them in person."
Seeing the sincerity in Han Lei's eyes, Lin Fan knew that he wasn't bad at heart.
The trauma of his youth had hurt Han Lei deeply. As he grew up, that pain had gradually warped his personality.
"Bright Moon Street, Jiangzhou City. Go find Fat Sister and bring her to me."
Upon hearing that.
