Chapter 24: The Demon Is Born
"Later, why do you continue to kill?"
In the interrogation room of the Binhe Police Station, I, Lin Yingxue, Zhang Qishan, Officer Yang and Bai Qi sat opposite Zhang Peng, listening to Zhang Peng's self-report, everyone felt very uncomfortable in their hearts, not to mention me, even Officer Yang and Zhang Qishan, who hated Zhang Peng to the bone, had no anger on their faces, but instead had an inexplicable complex expression.
No one is born a bad person, and if he wasn't forced to do this, who would do such a cruel thing?
Zhang Peng, who was sitting opposite and was firmly locked in handcuffs, did not have any panicked look on his face, and suddenly turned his head to me and said, "Ji Wen, give me a cigarette, and I'll tell you slowly." ”
I just took out the cigarette in my pocket, turned my head to look at Bai Qi, Bai Qi nodded slightly, I lit the cigarette and put it in Zhang Peng's mouth, Zhang Peng took a deep breath, and continued to tell his story.
At that time, Zhang Peng originally planned to blow himself up and die inside, but remembering the sentence left by his mother to live well, he escaped from the mine at the last moment and returned to Zhongwei City.
At this time, Zhang Peng was like a lost dog, completely lost his fighting spirit, and buried the heart of the mine owner who was secretly brought out in front of his mother's grave.
At that time, Zhang Peng didn't feel anything, but after he calmed down, he actually had a thirst for blood in his heart, and he gradually found that he had liked the pleasure of abusing and killing others, and it seemed that only in this way could he vent the sad emotions in his heart.
Prompting him to become a real heart-digging demon is because of an accidental incident, that day, Zhang Peng sat in a daze at the corner of Red Sun Square in the cold wind, because he didn't clean himself up for a few days, and his clothes were tattered, he was regarded as a beggar by many people, and often received money thrown by passers-by, and Zhang Peng also relied on the handouts of passers-by to barely survive.
Just when Zhang Peng was in a daze, suddenly a stone flew from somewhere, and smashed directly on Zhang Peng's face, the stone was a pebble, although the force of throwing it was not very large, but it still hurt Zhang Peng, Zhang Peng turned his head, and saw that not far away, a child was grimacing at himself, and the stone was thrown by this child.
Although Zhang Peng had become cold-blooded at this time, he would not care about a child, but just coldly said to the child to get out, but who knows, this sentence was heard by the mother of the child not far away.
"Asking for food, what are you doing so fiercely to my son? My son is playing with you, he looks up to you, do you think anyone wants to pay attention to people like you? ”
Zhang Peng still remembers very clearly that the woman's disgusted and disgusted face at the beginning, just a short sentence, but completely touched Zhang Peng's fragile self-esteem and nerves, Zhang Peng did not speak, just stared at the woman with cold eyes, and the woman seemed to feel a killing intent in Zhang Peng's eyes, and did not continue, hugged the child and left.
Zhang Peng followed the woman from such a distance, and finally remembered the woman's home address, quietly hid around, took out the dagger hidden on his body, and waited for the opportunity.
At night, the woman seemed to be preparing to go out to throw out the garbage, Zhang Peng, who had been squatting for a long time, finally waited for the opportunity, quietly followed the woman to the trash can, covered the woman's mouth and stabbed it fatally, and dug out the woman's heart and left quietly.
To this day, Zhang Peng can't forget the surprised and regretful eyes of that woman when she saw herself, and Zhang Peng has completely liked this kind of killing since then, in his opinion, there is nothing to be nostalgic for in this world, it is better to destroy this world that makes him heartbroken.
Since then, Zhang Peng has become a terrifying demon at that time, the target he chooses is no longer the person who has offended him, as long as he is alone in a place where there is no one, he will become his target, in just a few days, there have been four people who died in his hands.
At that time, there were no cameras everywhere like now, and when Zhang Peng was in the mine, the workers were not good people, and often told him about the crimes they had committed.
Zhang Peng already planned in his heart, before he was caught, how many could he kill, there were so many people to bury himself and his mother, and his life was worth it.
After committing seven murders in a month, Zhang Peng also felt that he was afraid that he was about to be found out, but he didn't plan to stop, just when he was about to continue to commit crimes, a person appeared in front of him, completely changing him in cold-blooded despair.
That day, Zhang Peng was lying at the door of a community, looking for his next target, the weather had become very cold, and he was wearing a summer dress, and the whole person was shivering from the cold, but he didn't care very much.
At this time, a young woman passed by the gate of the community, glanced at Zhang Peng, and then walked into the community and went upstairs, and Zhang Peng also noticed this woman, and took this woman as his next target in his heart, quietly waiting for her to appear again at the gate of the community.
But it didn't take long for the woman to appear in front of Zhang Peng again, but at this time, the woman held a sweater and a bowl of steaming noodle soup in her hand, walked up to Zhang Peng and handed the sweater and noodle soup to Zhang Peng, leaving a sentence that you want to eat at a young age, you are not a cripple, can you have some interest, and quietly left.
Zhang Peng took the sweater and the bowl of noodle soup with a sluggish face, watching the woman leave his sight, he only felt that his originally cold heart suddenly seemed to be warm, I don't know if it was because of the steaming noodle soup in his hand, or because of the woman's inexplicable concern.
Since then, Zhang Peng has a reason to live in his heart, that is, that woman, as soon as he thinks of that woman, he no longer has hatred and bloodthirsty desire in his heart, he decided not to continue to kill, no longer continue to be decadent, and strive to marry that woman home.
After that, Zhang Peng cleaned himself up, found a job and a place to live, and after stabilizing, he frantically pursued the woman, and finally married the woman, the woman who inadvertently changed Zhang Peng, that is, my boss lady now.
After listening to Zhang Peng's story back then, I finally understood why Zhang Peng had such a good relationship with the boss's wife, it turned out that there was such an unknown past.
After Zhang Peng finished speaking, he spit out the cigarette that was already only the butt of the cigarette in his mouth, and then said to Officer Yang and Bai Qi: "This is the whole process of my crime ten years ago, and then I heard that you have caught the murderer, and I know that you must be looking for yourself to go down the stairs, and I have been clearing the suspicion because of this, and I have been living until now, but I am curious, how did you find me?" Ji Wen, I see that you are also here, can it be said that there is still something about you in this? ”
In the face of Zhang Peng's inquiry, I really didn't know what to say, so I couldn't help but lower my head and didn't dare to look at the boss, but the boss smiled with relief: "You don't have to blame yourself, I was originally a person who committed a great crime, and it is already God's eyes to live to this day, I don't blame you, don't worry." ”
When Zhang Peng said this, I looked up at him and slowly told him the whole process of how I found out that he was the murderer.
Previously, I completely used the empty packets as an investigation point, but I ignored a more important clue, that is, the recipients of these empty packets, that is, the deceased in these four cases.
Zhang Qishan once told me that she doubted me because my profession was a courier, and I was the most likely person to easily enter the victim's room.
Among the four cases, only Yang Xiaoxia and Zhang Qishan had direct contact with me, Yang Xiaoxia looked down on the courier very much, and often picked on the courier, I know this, but Zhang Qishan's sister Zhang Qiling I have never been in contact with, and it is because of this that this obvious motive for killing was so easily ignored by me, and it has become the clue that I have never remembered.
It wasn't until I met the fat man who often played mahjong with Zhang Peng, when the fat man said that they often changed places to play mahjong recently, and pointed out the location of today's mahjong play, I suddenly remembered this matter, because the place that the fat man refers to is the beautiful community.
I immediately took out the file that Bai Qi gave me, looked at the home addresses of those victims, and made my thoughts clearer in my heart, except for Zhang Qiling, all these victims were some people who looked down on the courier and often insulted the courier when I delivered the courier!
Who knows where these people live? Who can know the bad moral character of these people? You must know that the area of each express company is different, even if it is the same North Street Branch, the size of our express company and other express companies is also different, and two of the deceased families in these four cases are also only responsible for the delivery of the North Street Branch of our express company, so it seems that there is only one answer, either me, or the boss who sent the express delivery for me when I was resting, Zhang Peng!
I asked the fat man, where they have played mahjong these days, the fat man came together, all of them are the unit building of the community where the victim lives, all this is definitely not a coincidence in my opinion, and it is precisely because of this that Zhang Peng will disappear inexplicably after killing people, because he has never left the unit building where the victim lives, he has been playing mahjong in the building, and there are so many people to testify, which clears his suspicion.
When I think of these, all the clues that I can't think of have been sorted out, only Zhang Peng, who is proficient in express delivery operations, knows how to make an express empty package appear out of thin air without any information sources, and I once heard the boss lady mention that Zhang Peng's mother died ten years ago, and his father died early, all this information is completely consistent with Zhang Peng.
These are just my inferences, if you want to verify, you must catch him with your own hands, I learned that he was playing mahjong in the beautiful community today, I immediately remembered that the beautiful community I met the day before yesterday did not answer my phone and did not receive the express, the person who was ready to complain about me, immediately returned to the store and found the courier order, according to the above address and Yang Officer Bai Qi and others ambushed, and finally caught Zhang Peng, who was about to commit the crime.
After listening to my narration, Zhang Peng actually laughed and said: "I really didn't expect that it was you kid who found me in the end, it's really good, it's a pity that you kid doesn't become a policeman, don't be a courier in the future, with your ability, you will have a better future." ”
I nodded silently, took a deep breath, and then asked, "Boss, can you tell me why you have clearly escaped ten years ago, but now you have to commit a crime?" Don't you think about the pregnant boss lady? ”
Hearing this, the smile on Zhang Peng's face gradually dissipated, an indescribable murderous aura appeared in his eyes, and his hands began to tremble slightly, so frightened that the two police officers guarding him next to him hurriedly took out their pistols and aimed them at Zhang Peng.
"Do you think I think, I'm having a good time now, why should I come out and kill people? But not long ago, I suddenly received a call from a stranger, who would have thought that this call would become a reason for me to kill again. ”
