**Chapter Translation:**
"Does Leng Taiya know the contents of the letter given to Master Hui?" "Hui Taiya is dead, how can we find out?" Suddenly, Tan Po-hai's expression turned grim.
He spoke as if he were murmuring.
"Kie-hong, I don't want to hide anything from you.
In fact, I've already seen the contents of the letter given to Hui Taiya." "Oh...?" Wie Kie-hong was confused, unsure whether he should be shocked or pleased.
"After I heard that Hui Taiya's eyes had been gouged out, I immediately thought there was no way he could read that secret letter himself.
Therefore, I didn't care about the wounds I was suffering and quickly went to his place.
Of course, Hui Taiya trusted me very much.
That's why he asked me to read his letter." Wie Kie-hong was worried that if he asked Tan Po-hai too much, he would not tell him more.
So he deliberately diverted his words: "Uncle Tan! Gihu is very curious about the contents of that secret letter.
Can you tell me about it?" "Since Leng Taiya wants to know, I certainly can't hide it.
But the words written in the secret letter for Hui Taiya still give me chills to this day." "Oh.. what was written there?" Tan Po-hai lowered his voice.
He spoke each word with great emphasis: "Quickly die! to avoid trouble for your friends." "Oh...! Did Hui Taiya immediately comply with the written command?" "At that time, I had already discussed it with him.
Moreover, his eyes could no longer see.
He could not possibly read the writing in the letter.
Moreover, no one knew that I had helped him read the letter.
So, the two of us pretended that none of us had seen the secret letter given to him." "Did Hui Taiya agree to your suggestion to pretend not to know?" "Of course, he agreed to my suggestion.
Who doesn't want to keep living?" "But...." "But it turns out that Hui Taiya died.
I really don't know what caused this.
Did he then change his mind and think that the command in the letter should not be ignored?" Suddenly, Wie Kie-hong fell into deep thought.
It seemed as if he was caught in a very big question.
His gaze did not shift even for a moment.
"What's wrong with you?" "Oh...
! " suddenly Wie Kie-hong regained consciousness, "I'm fine, I just find it strange.
Maybe Cu Taiya was joking, why did Hui Taiya take the contents of the letter so seriously?" "Enough! We both better stop here.
You must pretend not to hear anything.
I will also pretend not to say anything." "Please be calm.
I'm not a child."

Wie Kie-hong continued talking to Tan Po-hai for a while.
As evening approached, Wie Kie-hong took his leave.
He left Tan Po-hai's residence.
Immediately, he went to Hui Taiya's residence, which was located south of Tan Po-hai's residence.
It was a very luxurious building.
Wie Kie-hong was a frequent visitor to this place, so he could easily enter the residence.
He visited the manager of the residence.
The manager's surname was Eng.
He assumed Leng Souw-hiang had sent him to inquire about the funeral ceremony, so he immediately entertained him.
"Manager Eng! When Hui Taiya passed away, were you here?" "Yes, I was inside the residence." "Who was the first to know about his death?" "The person who was taking care of him." "Can I meet him?" "Wie Siauya, forgive my rudeness, but may I ask why you want to do this?" "Manager Eng! Do you truly believe that Hui Taiya committed suicide by hanging?" "Why not?" "I dare not ascertain, but based on his last condition, it seems unlikely that Hui Taiya could hang himself..." "You don't know.
Hui Taiya valued his dignity all his life.
Having suffered such a great calamity, how could he have the dignity to continue living?" "Manager Eng! What I'm talking about is not about dignity.
I'm making a conclusion.
Hui Taiya had lost both his eyes.
He could not see, move a chair, find a rope, and tie that rope to a beam of the house.
This seems not easy to do." Manager Eng looked very surprised, as if he had just heard something he had never heard before or seen something he had never seen before.
He just realized this.
It seemed as though his mood suddenly changed to sadness.
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
After a long time, he finally asked in a trembling voice.
"Wie Siauya! Are you suggesting that Hui Taiya was murdered?" "I suspect that possibility." "It seems unlikely.
Because Hui Taiya was very kind to everyone, he never had a disagreement with anyone.
How could...?" "Manager Eng! What I'm saying is not a certainty.
What you are saying is also not certain, so we should both try to investigate this.
won't we find out what actually happened?" "How to find out?" "Of course, by asking the person who took care of Hui Taiya." "Impossible! Many guests are paying their respects.
Once this matter is heard, wouldn't it become a laughingstock for many people?" "Manager Eng, the real truth is more important than anything else.
It seems all the guests paying their respects also want to know what really happened." "Currently, everyone in this residence is emotionally unstable.
Even those who can make decisions are not around.
For now, I'm forced to make decisions, but I can't make decisions as I please.
Wie Siauya! I understand your good intention.
How about this, I can bring the person who was taking care of Hui Taiya at that time, but please don't tell anyone about what you talk about." "Thank you, Manager Eng."
Not long after, Wie Kie-hong could meet the person who took care of Hui Taiya in a secret room.
This person had been serving Hui Taiya for more than twenty years.
He was called Cong Congkoan.
Wie Kie-hong politely asked: "Cong Congkoan, were you the first to find Hui Taiya hanging?" "Correct." "Hui Taiya was experiencing a great calamity.
How could you leave him alone in his room?" "At that time, Hui Taiya had already heard very bad news.
He said his head felt dizzy, he wanted to rest and calm his heart for a moment, and then he told me to leave his room.
I also didn't know the reason, my heart felt uneasy, after that I went back to his room to check on him.
The time interval was less than half an hour, but I had already found a very great calamity." "Was the rope used to hang himself a rope that was in this residence?" "Correct." "Was the rope just lying in his bedroom?" "Hard to say." "Hui Taiya's eyes could not see, how could he find this rope?" Cong Congkoan was stunned.
"Cong Congkoan, let alone Hui Taiya who had suffered such severe injuries, his pain was unbearable.
Even a healthy person whose eyes are covered with a handkerchief might not be able to find a rope and prepare everything to hang himself.
Right?" "Right.
Someone must have helped him." "Why don't you say that someone else murdered him, that someone had looped the rope around his neck?" "Wie Siauya, your words have confused me.
If that's indeed the case, who killed him?" Wie Kie-hong did not continue his words.
He found that this servant was almost fainting with fear.
He only told the servant not to make the matter bigger by telling others.
After that, he was taken to Hui Taiya's bedroom for investigation.
After finishing, he didn't even greet the guests.
He wanted to avoid the responses of the guests who were paying their respects.

After leaving Hui Taiya's residence, Wie Kie-hong immediately set off toward Cu Taiya's residence.
He asked the servant who greeted him at the door to quietly report his arrival to Tu Liong.
After seeing Tu Liong, Wie Kie-hong immediately pulled him away.
Tu Liong immediately asked him, "What's the matter?"
Wie Kie-hong did not immediately answer that question.
After walking quite far, he looked around several times to ensure no one was listening, only then did he speak "Tu toako, I want to tell you something.
You must trust me." "Go ahead." "Hui Taiya did not commit suicide, but he was murdered by someone else."
Tu Liong immediately asked back, "Do you have any evidence?"
Then Wie Kie-hong recounted all his conversations with Tan Po-hai.
