Chapter 20: Interrogation
My heart should have been soft, like those thousands of girls, crying because of the flowers, and sad for the moon. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
But this is not the case, I think I have long been forged by this strange fate, my heart is harder than the rock on the top of the snow, my soul is colder than the stagnant waters of the River Styx, and I feel that I should be so cold-hearted, at least in the face of youkai.
I've long been used to being like this, the moment I came home thirteen years ago.
What's more, what I'm facing now is the monster that has refined me like iron. How could I feel unbearable because of his embarrassment?
This fight, or one-sided crushing, ended with Xiao Zheng's flying kick subduing He Yi to the ground.
He Yi closed his eyes in fear and despair, as if waiting for the impending death, the expression was indescribably pitiful and indescribably ridiculous.
For humans, youkai may be equated with the existence of a hanger in the game, with skills that humans can't compete with, and they can crush humans anytime and anywhere. However, in the world of monsters, there should also be a clear division of ranks, with the strong as the respect. Just like He Yi and Xiao Zheng in front of me now, the strong can control the weak, and the weak don't even have a chance to resist, so they can only choose to beg for mercy or bear it silently.
What He Yi did at the beginning, what he has to bear now, will never change because of his identity as a monster.
At this moment, I seemed to realize the laws set by the world, the eternal balance and constraints. It's just that in this balance and conditioning, we humans are only at the bottom of the pyramid, and it is we who are oppressed by eternal constraints. And balance only exists in the world of youkai.
"Mr. He Yi, now please answer my question well, I ask one, you answer one, do you understand?" Xiao Zheng suppressed He Yi and spoke cordially and gently. The latter, on the other hand, remained silent and did not say a word.
Xiao Zheng wasn't really discussing with He Yi, but just informing him. At a time when the disparity in strength between the two sides is so great, the people who are controlled have no right to speak or other choices.
I understand this feeling very well, fate has never allowed you to passively accept it. However, looking at the picture in front of me, I still only have a feeling of refreshment in my heart, and I deserve it.
"First question, what is your relationship with the deceased Liu Fei?" To be honest, I didn't think that Xiao Zheng's first question turned out to be this, after all, I thought that he would directly and rudely ask He Yiren if he killed him. If it were me, I would probably ask directly.
Perhaps because I have become very cold now, although I sympathize with the young woman who has died, I also lament her fate. But the most important thing in my mind is nothing more than to seek the truth and punish the real culprit. So for me, the "what" is often more important than the "why".
"The truth is not just a result, it is a story, a whole life. So, I don't just want the result, I want the process. He Yi, who was suppressed, remained silent, and Xiao Zheng didn't move, as if he wanted to be patient with him. However, judging from the current posture and momentum of the two of them, Xiao Zheng is a steady winner.
As for what he just said, I'm really not sure who he was talking about. It seemed that he was communicating with He Yi, but I felt that the words were spoken to me.
"We're boyfriend and girlfriend." In the end, it was really He Yi who was defeated, both for fish and meat, and for others.
"Mr. He Yi will be able to see the situation very quickly, not bad, not bad." Xiao Zheng nodded with satisfaction, "Then the second question is next, were you and Liu Fei dating on the night of the crime?" ”
"Yes." This time there was silence for only a few seconds, and it seemed that He Yi had given up struggling.
"Very well, the next question, that day, it was an accident at first, wasn't it?"
It was a long silence again, but I could feel that it was different from the previous one. Before, it was a silence of resistance, but this silence is a little suffocating and depressing, and it seems to bring a little sadness.
I seem to understand Xiao Zheng's purpose, and I want to really find out the truth of a thing. It is necessary to dig into the deepest secrets of this person's soul, as well as the softest corners of his heart. Shatter all his disguises, so that this person can't hide like a **** baby, and the truth is naturally like a bag, which is easy.
"I don't want to." There are some words that you can't stop saying. "I never thought that one day something like this would happen. It's like I never thought about living as a youkai, I just wanted to be like a human being, find a woman I like to marry and have children. If the children become half-demons in the future, or if they are in a relationship with their lover, I may tell them my secret. But not now, nor is it the way it ends. ”
He Yi got up from the ground and sat on the side, looking like he was reminiscing, but he also seemed to be confused.
"That day, we just made an appointment to see the night view, because I heard that there would be a Geminid meteor shower, and the place was open and quiet, so I took her there. I really didn't expect this to happen. ”
"What's the matter, she found out who you are, so you killed her?" He Yi repeatedly emphasized that he hadn't thought about it, but in fact, whether he thought about it or not, Liu Fei did die in his hands. So whether he is justifying or revealing his true feelings, I am not interested in listening to so many emotional dramas. After all, killing is an active act, which he cannot argue with.
"Not really." As soon as my words came out, I was interrupted excitedly by He Yi, "How could I kill her because she found out that I was a youkai, this is not the case." ”
"What's going on, you did kill her, didn't you?"
"I, I." He Yi paused, "I don't want to kill her, I just, I just don't want her to be so afraid of me." Yes, Liu Fei, don't be so afraid of me. ”
I felt that He Yi's spirit seemed to be on the verge of collapse, and I whispered Liu Fei's name.
I didn't push him anymore, and it looked like he was going to be broken up without forcing him.
"Well, it was really an accident. We waited a long time, and we didn't wait for the legendary meteor shower. Liu Fei was a little angry, I had to coax her, you know, it's not a very simple thing to make your girlfriend happy. But in the end, she was amused by me. Do you know, Liu Fei is really the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, and she is so beautiful when she laughs. I can't help but feel a little overwhelmed. Speaking of this, He Yi even curled the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he recalled the best things, but soon, such a relaxed expression disappeared.
