Chapter 76 The Truth
Four days later, at Malena Bellucci's house.
Li Yisen looked at the woman opposite him with a strange expression. She was wearing casual home clothes, a black dress that revealed her long, fleshy legs, because her home had heating.
"So you went into Jenkins' house and took out a notebook—no, we sealed the whole house off, didn't you know you couldn't go in? Aren't you afraid I'll lock you up for a few days?"
"Ethan, you won't."
Li Yisen didn't say anything. He'd been eating at the other party's restaurant for the past few days, and was also helping to intimidate the thugs who frequented the place. It had already had a noticeable effect. Marlena would occasionally bring him late-night snacks; they were considered friends.
Li Yisen was naturally aware that the other party intended to use him as a shield; otherwise, who would bring over midnight snacks for no reason, and more than once?
He himself felt that he was willing to help the orphans and widows in any way.
Just then, a little girl came out of the room; she had long black hair and was exquisitely beautiful.
The girl was Marina Rod, and at around 6 years old, she already showed signs of inheriting her mother's beauty.
"Uncle Ethan, you're here! Hug me!"
Li Yisen picked up the girl and hugged her so affectionately because someone would give her a gift as soon as they met.
"Has little Marina been listening to her mother these past few days?"
"have"
Li Yisen poked the girl with his unshaven beard, which made her complain.
"Uncle is mean, he poked me with his beard."
"Ha ha."
Li Yisen presented the prepared gift to the other party and received a sticker from the child covered in drool.
"It's all saliva, it's filthy."
"I'm not dirty."
Malena couldn't help but smile as she watched this scene. She admitted that she had approached the man with impure thoughts, such as making him a protector for her family.
Now that I see my daughter getting along well with him, an idea is gradually emerging.
Malena spoke softly, as if she had made up her mind.
"Marina should go to sleep. Don't bother your uncle while he's doing his work."
"oh."
""
After the mother and daughter left, Li Yisen opened his diary and began to read.
I've been in Lano for a week, and I'm still getting used to the school. I'm going to explore my new home.
When I arrived here, I noticed that my mother had become even stranger; perhaps her brother's death had worsened her condition.
I saw a figure wandering around the lobby at night, and I thought it was my mother.
Noises came from the house from time to time at night, but the father said he didn't hear them.
I always feel like someone is watching me from inside the house. Is it my mother?
My dog died. It died suddenly and mysteriously this morning. I think my mother did it. She was wandering around the living room last night and even went outside.
I'm going crazy. My brother and father are spying on me just like my mother, even when I'm taking a bath.
I won't let them have their way...
The diary was written from two months ago to a little over a week ago. Calling it a diary is an understatement; it's more like a story of a teenage girl going crazy.
While Lee Ethan was pondering, Malena had already come out of her daughter's room.
She didn't go back to her previous seat, but instead sat next to Ethan Li, resting her head on his shoulder.
"Would you like to stay?"
Li Yisen looked at that worried pretty face. Was she worried that she would refuse?
Lee Ethan finally nodded, and Malena happily wrapped her arms around the man's neck, offering her head to him.
As her true nature was revealed, Malena became like a mythical goddess of abundance.
At 4 a.m., I could hear the sound of a cold wind whistling past the window.
When Li Yisen opened his eyes, he could feel the woman clinging tightly to his arm, the huge package unable to be easily pulled away.
Li Yisen kissed the other person's forehead and left. There's always gossip around a widow's house, and he didn't want the townspeople to know that he was having an affair with the beautiful widow for the time being.
As for whether he and Malena had feelings for each other, perhaps there were some, but it was more about mutual needs.
Whether in reality or physiologically, one had been a widow for half a year, and the other hadn't touched a woman for more than half a month.
Lee Ethan quietly opened the door and left. He didn't go home immediately, but instead went to the now deserted Jenkins' house.
The empty residential area still has bed sheets hanging out to dry from a few days ago; the real estate developer needs to clean these up themselves.
Li Yisen glanced at the locust tree by the door, then went into the house.
He didn't quite believe the mystical content in the notebook, since he'd never seen it before.
He felt that Ellie Jenkins' mental instability was caused by her inability to adapt to the new environment, such as school and small-town life.
However, since both the notebook and Malena have mentioned it, he doesn't mind coming over to take a look.
As Li Yisen entered the house, the bed sheet hanging outside suddenly fell off, but instead of being blown away immediately, it seemed to cover a human-shaped object before drifting towards the second-floor window.
When the sheets were completely blown away, a white figure appeared in front of the second-floor window, quietly watching the outside world.
(These kinds of stories will be very rare, used to increase the sense of novelty)
The room was brightly lit. Following the instructions in the notebook, Li Yisen searched many places, including the corners of the room and the hidden compartments behind the cabinets, and finally arrived at the basement. Along the way, he kept touching various things until he reached a moldy spot on the wall mentioned in the notebook.
According to Alice's diary, she touched this moldy mark.
Li Yisen also touched the mark, a chill running from his fingertips into his body, and the next second his Flash ability activated.
Lee Ethan only saw a middle-aged woman being constantly beaten by her husband, and even being locked in the basement. In the end, she poisoned her husband and children to death, and then hanged herself from the locust tree at the door. The year was probably the 19th century, the era when gold was mined.
The swaying figure in the tree seemed to be looking at me with those malevolent eyes.
"Holy crap."
At that moment, Li Yisen believed that there really were dirty things in the world, but he wasn't really afraid.
The next second, the basement light bulb suddenly went out, and the basement door was locked, and it couldn't be opened no matter what.
"Bang"
Lee Ethan punched so hard that the dilapidated basement door teetered on the ground, and his body temperature gradually rose, even producing gas in the cold environment.
[High-class sexual excitement activated]
Strength: 30+6
Endurance: 28+5
Agility: 25+5
[Mental state: 25+5]
With one punch, two punches, and three punches, Li Yisen ripped off the basement door, and the lights in the hall went out as well.
Lee Ethan had no intention of lingering and headed straight for the gate.
As I left the house, what came into view was a swaying figure hanging from a locust tree, with disheveled hair, pale and rotting skin, and feet covered in black mud.
Li Yisen met those vicious eyes, a chill running through him.
"Who are you?"
The dirty thing didn't respond; it continued swinging on the swing, only now its mouth was twitching.
Lee Ethan's mind was filled with images of dirty things, such as movies, TV series, and novels.
Finally, I remembered Alice's notebook. "You can't even kill one person in two months? You think I'm afraid of you? I'm a policeman who has killed dozens of people. How many have you killed in all these years?"
Lee Ethan stared openly at the filthy thing as he walked toward the police car, finally giving the other person the middle finger.
The police car started moving. Li Yisen had expected the other party to suddenly appear behind the car or get right up close, but that didn't happen.
"Maybe the dirty stuff is different from what's shown in the movies."
