Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 306 - 279: When He Looked Up, All He Saw Was His Own Brother’s Face
With Zhou Zhicheng’s tacit approval, Mu Yunchu did something.
She had a private conversation with Li Moli.
No one knows what the two talked about.
It was only when the door opened that Li Moli took a deep breath and said, "Can I talk to my uncle alone?"
Honestly, even after everything that happened today, Mu Yunchu hadn’t told her directly that her uncle was the culprit, there was still a trace of hope in her heart.
It’s not that her feelings for her uncle were particularly strong.
Rather, she thought that no matter how bad it got, he wouldn’t be ruthless enough to want to blow up her and her sister.
Especially now, when the police didn’t have concrete evidence and were just in the initial stages of suspicion.
Until Mu Yunchu told her the truth.
"I need you to go and talk to your uncle."
Mu Yunchu was very aware of what difficulties the police were facing now.
Although there was a very old camera that could prove that Li Jianwei had been to the mountain in the days before the incident, it was a high-frequency period for visiting graves, so this couldn’t completely prove that the homemade bomb was planted by him.
"Take this."
Mu Yunchu handed her an earpiece.
"At the necessary moment, I need you to speak in the same tone as your father."
Li Moli couldn’t fully understand, but for Mu Yunchu, who had saved her and her sister, all she needed was complete trust and simply to follow instructions.
At the same time, she truly wanted to ask why her uncle was so heartless.
When all the interrogating officers left the interrogation room, leaving the space for the two of them, Li Moli looked at the center of the empty room, at the man sitting on the chair, hands cuffed.
The moment she saw him, Li Moli’s heart felt a bit sour.
Just because her uncle’s face, having aged, increasingly resembled her memory of her father’s face.
Sometimes she couldn’t help but wonder if her father were still alive, would he look like this?
After a brief sorrow, Li Moli gathered her thoughts and sat in the seat prepared by the officers, looking at the man.
"Uncle."
She called out neither happily nor sadly.
There was no discernible emotion in her tone.
Which puzzled Li Jianwei somewhat.
In contrast, Li Jianwei seemed quite agitated upon seeing her.
As he moved, the handcuffs tightly bound to his wrists made significant collision sounds with the tabletop.
"Moli, Moli it’s you."
"Quick, help your uncle explain to those officers, how could I set a bomb to harm you?"
"No matter what, we share the same Lao Li Family blood!"
It was better if he hadn’t said that last sentence; saying it made Li Moli even angrier.
Staring at him, she said, "Yes, I’d like to know how you could be so heartless?"
Li Jianwei was clearly taken aback.
Shocked, he looked at Li Moli, forgetting even to pretend.
The hatred in the other’s eyes was plain to see.
He swiftly hid his momentary guilt and began to explain.
"Listen to me, uncle. It really wasn’t me; I did go to the mountain to see your father a few days ago."
"But I didn’t do anything. He’s my own brother, can’t I visit him?"
"Now the police claim it’s me who planted the bomb just because the camera at the foot of the mountain caught me. I’m more unjustly accused than Dou E."
The two spoke several more sentences, but no matter what Li Moli said, Li Jianwei kept repeating the same few lines.
He didn’t do it.
He was wronged.
Those watching the conversation from the next room understood that he wouldn’t easily admit to such a thing.
At this moment, Mu Yunchu opened the earpiece she had previously given Li Moli and gently said, "Now’s the time."
Simultaneously, as she reached out, intending to cast a spell on Li Jianwei, Li Moli appeared very different.
Originally, upon hearing Mu Yunchu’s instruction, she started recalling her father’s words and behavior. After all, it was her first time doing such a thing, so it would be a lie to say she wasn’t nervous.
And just then, she suddenly felt a sense of drowsiness, and then everything around her seemed to fade away.
Yet to others looking on, her previously tense spine suddenly relaxed, even slightly stooping.
At this moment, Li Jianwei hadn’t realized what was happening; he just stared warily at Li Moli, repeatedly reminding himself that someone was watching them, being cautious with his words.
It wasn’t until then that Li Moli, who had been very cautious of him, unexpectedly leaned in and pulled the chair opposite him to sit on.
"Hey!"
This scene startled the young officers observing from the side.
Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to allow the victim and the perpetrator to be alone in the same room like this.
Placing a chair for Li Moli near the door was already the limit.
Let alone now, Li Moli was almost sitting next to Li Jianwei.
This action made them restless, wanting to control the situation again. Someone truly getting hurt would mean a huge responsibility.
But Zhou Zhicheng, watching Mu Yunchu’s reactions, saw confusion, surprise, and realization cross her face in succession. He decided it was under her control and didn’t send anyone to intervene, ensuring her plan wasn’t disrupted.
Inside, Li Jianwei was about to speak, but ’Li Moli’ spoke first.
"Jianwei, do you remember me?"
Li Jianwei was first stunned.
To him, the person still appeared to be Li Moli, and her voice was Li Moli’s. Yet the tone and manner felt incredibly familiar.
A terrifying thought slowly emerged in his mind.
"Brother?"
He tentatively called out.
Even after saying this, he himself found it unreasonable.
But ’Li Moli’ responded.
"It’s kind of you to still recognize me as your brother."
What made Li Jianwei incredulous was that the other even had that commanding yet dignified demeanor, same as his brother’s.
"Impossible, this isn’t possible."
Li Jianwei shook his head ceaselessly, unable to accept any of this.
"You’re a dead person; how can this be?"
"There’s no such thing as ghosts in this world!"
It’s unclear if he truly believed this or was merely trying to bolster his courage by shouting it, hoping to gain some clarity.
Yet only he knew that cold sensation that swept over him was absolutely impossible to hide.
In his hazy state, he felt like his niece’s appearance had changed.
At some point, when he lifted his head, he saw his brother’s face.
