Chapter 517 Old Stories, The Brother Who Lost His Memory
On a plane bound for New Mexico.
With nothing else to do, Li Yuan was casually flipping through the documents compiled by Edward.
He opened the folder and turned to the first page.
The client's photo and identification information are displayed on it.
Kelly Russell.
Li Yuan whispered the name of the person who made the request.
Then, gazing at the confident girl in the photo, he seemed slightly lost in thought.
"This girl... looks familiar, she must be someone I know."
Li Yuan lightly tapped the photo on the document twice with his finger.
He then continued to review the case descriptions provided by the client in the documents.
According to Edward, the client talked to him for a long time.
It's been so long, it all started 11 years ago.
The client, Kelly Russell, was only 12 years old.
He was with his parents and his 10-year-old brother Tim.
The family of four moved from Los Angeles to their new home in New Mexico.
Because it's a new house, it's completely empty; there's nothing there.
Therefore, the parents, who were not well-off,
So they bought some affordable antique furniture to decorate their new home.
And the antique mirror that Kelly mentioned that killed people was one of them.
But as the days went by...
Strange things began to happen one after another.
First, our pet dog would inexplicably bark wildly at the mirror.
Immediately afterwards, the siblings saw one after the other...
A strange woman appeared in the father's office.
After that, the parents' emotions became unstable.
And then, in front of the ancient mirror, he became dazed and blank.
Since then, the parents, who had always had a harmonious relationship, have started arguing.
A few days later, the mother, standing in front of the ancient mirror, suddenly went mad.
Struggling to strangle Kelly,
He was ultimately shot and killed by his indifferent father.
Having witnessed their mother's death, the brother and sister realized that...
The root of all this may be related to the antique mirror in the house.
After discussing it, the two hit it off immediately.
He picked up his father's golf club and smashed it at the ancient mirror.
However, the siblings smashed things for quite a while.
But they discovered that the ancient mirror was completely undamaged!
The siblings, regaining their senses, were surprised to find that...
They only smashed the walls on either side of the ancient mirror, without damaging the mirror at all.
At that moment, the father, who was in a daze,
Suddenly, he turned back with a gun, intending to kill Kelly in front of the mirror.
At this critical moment, the brave Tim swung his club.
He knocked the pistol out of his father's hand and onto the ground.
Even without his weapon, the father still wanted to strangle Kelly.
Left with no other choice, Tim picked up the pistol that had fallen to the ground.
He decisively pulled the trigger and shot and killed his father.
And so, the siblings lost their parents, and their old house was seized because of the murder.
Kelly, the older sister, was sent to live with a foster family.
Tim, the younger brother, was taken away by the police for investigation for killing their father.
However, because he always claimed that the mirror was the one who killed him.
So he was eventually confined to a mental hospital.
After Li Yuan finished reading this part of the record
He suddenly realized and exclaimed in surprise:
"Oh! So it was just a case of being blinded by a ghost!"
Li Yuan blurted out this sentence, his voice somewhat loud.
It attracted the attention of all the other passengers in first class.
Edward, who was fast asleep next to Li Yuan, was startled awake.
He casually pulled up his eye mask and asked sleepily:
"Hmm? Li Yuan, have we arrived?"
Seeing this, Li Yuan smiled awkwardly.
Then he whispered to Edward:
"Go to sleep, I'll wake you up when we get there."
Upon hearing this, Edward mumbled a couple of words, then pulled down his eye mask again and went back to sleep.
Li Yuan, on the other hand, turned his attention back to the documents in his hand.
The latter half of the narrative by the client, Kelly Russell,
This was his own plan to deal with the ancient mirror.
A few days ago, she took advantage of her position...
They kept the antique mirror that had re-entered the market.
They were then packed up and mailed back to the old house.
She planned to bring her younger brother Tim, who had just been discharged from the mental hospital.
Together they will face that ancient mirror once more and avenge their parents.
However, just as she was about to leave Los Angeles...
Kelly's boyfriend recommended the Holy Light Agency to her.
That's why she came looking for me.
Finally, Kelly and Edward described in detail,
She was preparing how to deal with the ancient mirror, but Edward dissuaded her from doing so.
After all, that ancient mirror was indeed quite eerie.
It would be quite difficult for an ordinary person to deal with it.
After reading through all the materials, Li Yuan shook his head:
"This shouldn't be too difficult. We can just let Edward and Lu handle it."
Thinking of this, Li Yuan chuckled softly, casually closed the folder, and slowly closed his eyes.
Meanwhile, Kelly, who rushed back to the old house, finally saw her younger brother Tim.
"Tim!"
Kelly saw her younger brother come out of the door.
She immediately ran over and hugged him.
After a brief moment of joy, Kelly pulled away from her brother's embrace.
She gripped Tim's arms with both hands, frowning as she asked:
"Didn't I say you were going to wait for me to come pick you up?"
Why did you come back by yourself?
Upon hearing this, Tim's face broke into a bright smile.
He explained softly to his sister:
"I'm fine now, sister, you don't need to worry."
Kelly chuckled softly and said to her younger brother:
"You were fine to begin with; it was all that mirror's fault!"
As she spoke, Kelly suddenly seemed to remember something and asked nervously:
"Tim, you didn't touch that mirror, did you?"
Tim shrugged and said softly:
"No, I haven't been here long either."
As he spoke, Tim's expression turned serious.
He stared into Kelly's eyes and said with certainty:
"Kelly, it was indeed because my father's infidelity that drove my mother insane."
To save you, your father was forced to shoot and kill your mother.
In a moment of loss of control, I accidentally killed my father.
At this point, Tim paused slightly, then asked with some confusion:
"And what does all of this have to do with that ancient mirror?"
Kelly froze on the spot upon hearing this.
She looked at Tim in front of her and asked incredulously:
"Tim, have you... have you forgotten all our promises?"
We agreed to work together to find out the truth and completely destroy that mirror!
However, Tim listened to Kelly's words with a look of confusion on his face.
Clearly, it depicts terrifying scenes from childhood.
They were all automatically sealed away deep in my memory.
He paused, a slight smile appearing on his face, and said to Kelly:
"Stop fooling around, Kelly,"
How could a mirror kill someone? Such a bizarre thing happens.
I know you want to help clear my name.
But I did kill someone, and I paid the price for it.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade his brother, Kelly said to Tim in a deep voice:
"Tim, don't rush to confess,"
We'll wait half a day, and everything will become clear.
With that, Kelly pulled Tim into the old house.
We'll take out that ancient mirror first.
We'll handle it once the people from the Holy Light Agency arrive.
But just as Kelly stepped into the living room on the first floor of the old house,
To my surprise, the few potted plants I had kept at home had withered!
This discovery startled Kelly.
She kept these plants to test the range of influence of the ancient mirror.
All plants withered to varying degrees after being brought near the ancient mirror.
Could it be... that the ancient mirror has been opened?
Thinking of this, Kelly's heart tightened, and she quickly ran into the office where the antique mirror had been placed.
