Chapter 79 - 76: It’s Dad Who Killed Us

Chapter 79: Chapter 76: It’s Dad Who Killed Us

The ground was covered with white cloth, hiding the bodies of two children.

Their family lived on the eighth floor, and it was said that their father was playing on his phone at home when the children climbed onto the railing to play, leading to their fall and the tragedy.

People had gathered around, and the police had set up a cordon.

Seeing the father, who was weeping bitterly, the neighbors couldn’t help but show their sorrowful expressions.

"This father is incompetent; he didn’t even know the kids were playing on the balcony."

"Alas, just like that, two little kids are gone; don’t blame him anymore."

"It’s so tragic, but luckily they’re still young; they should be able to have more children, right?"

He Xinyuan squeezed out from the crowd and saw the white cloth covering the ground, forming two small mounds, the children’s blood staining the cloth red.

She instantly felt her legs weakening, and her whole body almost collapsed to the ground.

He Xinyuan trembled all over, her voice choked, "I am, I am the children’s mother."

The police gave her a complicated look before letting her in.

"Xinyuan, I’m so sorry! I didn’t look after our children!

I should be the one to die! Why wasn’t it me? I really regret playing with my phone!"

Her husband rushed over and embraced He Xinyuan, bursting into tears.

He Xinyuan didn’t respond, just stared blankly at that spot.

It was as if her soul had been drained from her body.

Her two children...

With a thud.

The man in front of her knelt down and fiercely kowtowed to her.

"It’s all my fault, I didn’t take care of the children! Wuuu, it’s all my fault!"

Someone nearby saw this and couldn’t help but go to help the man.

In this situation, the only thing to do was to comfort him.

"Get up, who could have expected this? It’s destined, there’s nothing we can do."

The man went to grab his wife’s hand regardless, "Xinyuan, hit me, scold me! As long as you can vent, I don’t mind how you treat me!"

He Xinyuan then came back to her senses and looked down at him.

Her eyes were empty and numb.

For a mother, losing two children destroyed her entire world.

He Xinyuan raised her hand and slapped him hard.

When sorrow reached its peak, she found herself unable to utter a single word.

Her tears seemed to have dried up, her blood almost bursting from her eyes.

"Leave! I want, I want a divorce from you!"

She pushed the man away and collapsed next to the bodies of her two children.

"Mommy!"

The two little ghosts beside Qin Zhao rushed over, wanting to hug their mother.

But they were already dead and couldn’t hold their mother; their souls passed right through He Xinyuan.

Many people were wiping their tears, their expressions sorrowful, and no one could see them.

Qin Zhao noticed the children’s father.

Earlier, he was so agitated as he kowtowed on the ground, wanting to apologize with his death if no one had held him back.

But now, he stood in the corner of the crowd, his tearful eyes full of calculation.

The little girl, with her brother, floated back to Qin Zhao’s side.

"So, we really did die."

The little girl looked up at the balconies and suddenly remembered the scene of her own death.

Her already pale face turned even paler.

"Brother, we weren’t being naughty."

The younger brother suddenly yanked the little girl, glaring resentfully at an old woman.

The old woman said he was naughty by nature, which is why he fell from upstairs.

The brother huffed, "I wasn’t playing there. Dad was the one who brought me here, and he told me to play here. But it was really slippery, so I fell down!"

The girl’s eyes reddened instantly, and she turned around incredulously to look for her father.

Everyone was immersed in sadness, while the children’s father had hidden himself in a secluded corner.

It was unclear whom he was talking to on the phone, covering half of his face with his right hand to hide his excited expression.

"Lili, Xinyuan wants to divorce me. Once she divorces me, we’ll get married right away!"

"The kids are no longer a concern too. Didn’t you say you disliked children? I did as you suggested, and sent the two of them to meet King Yan. From now on, I’ll support you and the child you bear!"

The little girl and her brother found their father hiding in a narrow gap between two buildings, just in time to hear these words.

"Our father killed us!"

The little girl suddenly exclaimed loudly as her eyes turned blood-red and resentful energy enveloped her.

Thinking of her mother’s sad face, she grew increasingly furious, and the resentful energy intensified.

Suddenly, gusts of chilly wind arose between the two buildings.

Qin Zhao placed a hand on her head, instantly suppressing the sinister aura.

Casually patting the man’s shoulder, she said, "Hey."

"Who!!" the man turned around in shock.

Qin Zhao snatched his phone, "The children were murdered by you, weren’t they? Come, let’s go to the police."

"What are you blabbering about! I’m their father, how could I kill them!"

The man’s expression revealed a moment of guilt.

Then, recalling his role as a father, he regained confidence and glared at Qin Zhao indignantly.

Qin Zhao couldn’t be bothered with his excuses and grabbed his hand, dragging him out from the corner.

The man tried to resist, so Qin Zhao kicked him in the knee.

Effortlessly dragging him out, he started throwing a tantrum and bawling.

"Is there no justice left! I just lost my children, and this woman attacks me, accusing me of killing them! How could I harm my own flesh and blood!"

"You all, judge this for yourselves! What kind of person does this!"

He immediately attracted everyone’s attention, and the police approached.

"What’s the matter here?"

"Officer, she hit me! See, it’s from her kick!"

The man scurried to the policeman’s side, pointing to the footprint on his knee and complaining.

Qin Zhao watched him composedly and then turned to the officer.

"These children didn’t die from an accidental fall; they were murdered intentionally."

Hearing this, the officer’s expression turned grave.

The man flustered for a moment, then hastily explained, "I was playing on my phone when the children went out to the balcony on their own. I had no idea they would fall.

What do you mean by suggesting I threw them down? I’m their biological father; I could never commit such a monstrous act!"

"You are indeed that monstrous, and there’s evidence to prove it."

Qin Zhao handed the phone to the officer, "You can check his call history. You should find clues.

Just now, while you all were here, he sneaked over there to make a call and revealed the truth about the murder, which I happened to hear."

"Stop spouting nonsense!"

The man became agitated and rushed to grab the phone.

"I was too heartbroken seeing my dead children, so I went over there."

Noticing the man’s strange behavior, the officer felt something was amiss. The leading officer signaled, and they restrained the man before taking the phone from Qin Zhao.
