Chapter 18: Confession and Leniency
Listened to Kong Miaomiao's explanation. Recall what Zhan Xingchuan said to himself before. Diao Ranran suddenly fell silent.
She believes. The person who violated Yu Youwei. It's not him.
But at that time, Yu Youwei did suffer substantial harm. Even if it's not Zhanxingchuan. There will also be a man who has made such a move that is not as good as a beast.
Don't. It was really done by this man who was captured by Zhan Xingchuan.
Diao Ranran was thinking. I heard the door smash again.
She and Kong Miaomiao glanced at each other. Then both hands are stretched out. He pulled out the stick of wood stuck in the door with all his might. Then find a way to open that little window as well.
Uncle He, who was standing on the side, wanted to step forward to stop him. But I didn't dare to say anything.
Kong Miaomiao turned her head suddenly. Look at Uncle He. Said loudly: "Uncle He. Are you old and confused. There are police officers and judges who have committed crimes. How can we bring people back ourselves? This is called false imprisonment. When the time comes, people don't necessarily go to jail. Zhan Xingchuan is going to suffer a lawsuit. It's just that you indulge him. Are you still helping him break the law?"
She asked. Uncle He suddenly stood up.
"The key. Where's the key to the door? The key really killed people. Shall we go to jail together?"
Kong Miaomiao was furious. See the door lock that can't be wrenched. I simply don't pull it. She was so angry that she kicked the door twice. It's quiet inside.
Uncle He slapped his head. Hurry to get the keys.
He hurried back. I already have an extra bunch of keys in my hand. Tremblingly, he unlocked the door of the small room.
Kong Miaomiao pushed the door open. I was almost fainted by the oncoming stench.
She wasn't mentally prepared at all. Rushed in and took a breath. Then turn around. Flee for the road. Bending over and retching in the hallway.
Diao Ranran, who followed her, was better. I didn't dare to rush inside. Seeing Kong Miaomiao, she turned around sharply. She's a little more defensive. Instinctively took a step back.
"Fighting, fighting, this guy. It's too, it's disgusting......"
Kong Miaomiao vomited for a long time. Didn't spit out anything. She shuddered and pulled a few tissues out of her handbag. Cover your nose and mouth. Stand at the door. Probe inside.
I don't blame her for reacting so much. Matthew is imprisoned here. It's been a few days now.
Unfortunately. Zhan Xingchuan also deliberately did not starve him. Every day, people bring him food and food on time and on time. It's just that. I also deliberately put a little laxative in the meal. Let Matthew finish eating. Pull non-stop.
The question is. There are no bathrooms here.
Matthew himself is a bit of a cleanliness fetish. Wash your hands dozens of times a day. Now don't talk about washing your hands and face here. I don't even have a roll of toilet paper.
God knows. How did he survive these days?
Whole small room. There is only one small window for ventilation. Leaning against the ceiling. Leaning towards the garden. And the earth is full of filth. Nauseating.
Matthew has nothing to do all day. I'm almost going crazy. In addition to eating and pulling. He can barely do anything else.
The more you eat, the more you pull. The more you pull, the hungrier you get.
Zhan Xingchuan just deliberately wanted to disgust him. Throw a cleanliness fetish patient here. Companion with feces. Come to think of it. Matthew simply couldn't stay up for a few days.
Originally. He figured it out. That's pretty much it for today. So plan to come here first after work. Let's see if he's telling the truth.
Didn't expect. Don't know what's going on. This matter actually reached Kong Miaomiao's ears. And she even took Diao Ranran to her house together.
Zhan Xingchuan drove the car. Hurry to the Zhan family's mansion. I'm upset.
Wait until he arrives. Kong Miaomiao has already asked someone to release Matthew.
The small room stinks. Even if it's looking for someone to clean up. None of them are necessarily able to be restored clean. She's going crazy. I don't understand why Zhan Xingchuan did this.
Matthew is on the verge of a breakdown. After being dragged out. A handful of tears and a handful of snot. Leaning softly against the corner. Silent. Eyes glazed.
Kong Miaomiao rested for a while. Finally calmed down. Carefully look at Matthew in the corner.
After a few glances. She's sure. This man was many years ago. I have been in and out of the house several times. Aunt Wang Jingshu's side is a little lover.
Although it has been a long time coming. But Kong Miaomiao was still impressed. She was about the same age as Yu Youwei at that time. are all young girls who are just starting to fall in love. There are also more hazy criteria for judging the opposite sex. At that time, the girls in the class were very obsessed with the boys and girls in Japan. So. After meeting Matthew for the first time. Kong Miaomiao still thinks it's amazing.
Merely. After learning about his relationship with Wang Jingshu. She was very disdainful of him.
Occasionally. Kong Miaomiao also avoided it. I'd rather hide in my room alone and listen to a song. Internet. Definitely not going out. Every time, he waited until Wang Jingshu left the Zhan family with him. She'll open the door to breathe.
If the person who did that was really Matthew......
Kong Miaomiao couldn't help but shudder. Maybe. He was also his target back then. Merely. The one who was succeeded by him in the end. It's a more fragile Yu Youwei.
Think about it this way. She looked into Matthew's eyes again. Gradually, there was no sympathy like before.
Diao Ranran washed his hands and came back. Poured another glass of warm water for Kong Miaomiao.
"Thank you."
She took it. Took a few sips.
Diao Ranran sat down opposite Kong Miaomiao. What do you want to say. Hold back again. She looked up. Take a look around. Look at the unfamiliar surroundings around you.
"It's my first time here today. Actually, I haven't been here before. Didn't expect. First time. I was impressed."
She was quite helpless. After speaking. Looked back at Matthew again.
Uncle He walked in from the garden. Drag him out. Drag all the way to the open space in the middle of the garden. Then take off the two remaining pieces of clothing from him. Begin to rinse him with the water gun that usually waters the flowers.
When I first came out. He just as stinks.
More than ten minutes later. Uncle He took his own clothes. Let Matthew put it on.
He followed Uncle He in. Looks much more normal. But the face is full of scruffy beard. There was still some wolf bèi. There was obvious fear in his eyes, and he seemed to be looking for Zhan Xingchuan everywhere.
"Sit down. My brother will come over right away."
Kong Miaomiao pointed to the side.
Matthew holds his upper body with both hands. Squatted down in place.
Soon. The battle line is coming.
As soon as he entered the door. See Matthew huddled next to the carpet. Look at Kong Miaomiao and Diao Ranran sitting on the sofa. Just know what you do. Both of them already knew it.
A belly of rhetoric and explanations prepared on the way. Suddenly it didn't work.
Instead, Zhan Xingchuan calmed down. Throw the car keys on the coffee table. Then sat down. As if nothing had happened. He smiled and asked, "I won't say a word when I come back. How did you learn to engage in surprise attacks. I didn't even pick you up personally."
Kong Miaomiao snorted. Didn't speak.
"Look good-looking. Presumably this round had a good time with Rong Qian. Slowly. Wait until I'm done with the company. We're also taking a long vacation."
He talks to himself. There was no trace of embarrassment.
On the contrary, it is Diao Ranran. Look at him. Look at Kong Miaomiao again. Some are overwhelmed.
"Did you know. Casually detaining people in their own homes. is against the law. This is called false imprisonment. You don't have that power."
Seeing that Zhan Xingchuan was still looking at him. The fire in Kong Miaomiao's heart was completely ignited. She stood up. Stretched out his finger and pointed at Matthew, who was crouching.
"You said it too. It is a crime to detain a person. But I think. He's not a person. It's a brute. Worse than a dog. Didn't contribute to society at all. I keep it at home. Neither hit it. Don't scold it either. Three good meals a day. How did I break the law?"
Zhan Xingchuan spread his hands. looked at Kong Miaomiao with a calm face. Calmly and calmly changing concepts.
"You."
She was so angry that she didn't know how to refute him for a moment. The whole body is trembling.
Diao Ranran had no choice but to stand up. Walk up to her. Personally whispered to appease Kong Miaomiao, who was too excited.
"Did you find something. If there is really evidence. Why don't you just hand him over to the police for interrogation? Miao Miao is right. We can't break the law just to defend it. And she cares too much about you. I'm afraid something will happen to you."
She pulled Kong Miaomiao. Sit down together. Yan sù said.
Zhan Xingchuan knows. He could speak to Kong Miaomiao like he had just done. But you can't talk to Diao Ranran like that. So. He was silent for a moment. Then he said, "Okay. Then I'll ask one last question. If he still won't tell the truth. So ......"
Behind. He didn't go on.
Matthew, curled up to the side, winced. Raise your eyes and look this way.
"Mr. Zhan...... I, I said...... I said......"
One opening. Matthew's voice was already filled with tears.
He seems to have made up his mind from the start. Silent on the matter. I don't know anything. But. After these few days of inhuman encounters. Matthew couldn't stay up any longer. He thought to himself why he should bother with someone and something that had nothing to do with him. Suffer so many sins.
So. Now he doesn't care about anyone. Just get out of the way. Just tell me everything you know. Maybe we'll be able to get rid of it completely.
"I remember. It was a hot day. Right. If I'm not mistaken. Students are already on their summer vacation. It's almost evening. The weather was particularly stuffy. Sister Jing said. She's too hot to stand it. You're going to take a shower before taking me to play. I came here with her......"
Matthew stood up. Stagger. It was hard to stand firm.
Zhan Xingchuan squinted at him. Motioned for him to continue.
Kong Miaomiao and Diao Ranran glanced at each other quickly. There was a hint of surprise in each other's eyes. Two women are nervous. I couldn't help but clasp my hands tightly together.
They both want to know. Matthew took it. What kind of shocking truth will be told?
