“Murder will out, certain”
— Geoffrey Chaucer

Simplified Meaning:
Even if someone tries to keep a terrible secret like a crime, it can't stay hidden forever. Imagine if someone stole something valuable and thought they could get away with it. Maybe they don't tell anyone and hide the stolen item really well. Over time, though, they might slip up, or someone might find out and tell others. Just like that, the truth comes out. In history, there are many cases where crimes were eventually discovered, even years later. For example, many unsolved crimes have been solved with advancements in DNA technology, showing that wrongdoing often gets uncovered eventually. This idea teaches us that doing bad things and trying to hide them is not a long-term strategy because the truth has a way of revealing itself.
