Chapter 21: The Man Without a Shadow
What Yao Xinwu didn't know was that the police already knew about the existence of the diary at this moment.
In the middle of the interrogation, Chen Nian suddenly received a photo from Lu Buping, and the symbol of the six-pointed star pattern in the photo made Chen Nian feel like he was on pins and needles.
Hexagram.
Two triangles are dislocated and superimposed to form a six-pointed star pattern.
It was fourteen years ago, Chen Yue, the six-year-old sister of Chen, who invented the painting method.
Chen Nian thought about all this while driving, and his eyebrows were twisted together.
Hurry up the wheels! He wants to see Lu Buping as soon as possible, and he wants to try to solve the mystery that has not been solved for fourteen years.
The sound of cars.
Yao Xinwu's memories of the murder continue.
On the evening of the first day of the month. Heavy snow.
Yao Xinwu has nothing to do and goes out for a stroll. He knew that there were many people and beautiful women near the train station, so he couldn't help but walk over.
Near the station's freight yard, Yao Xinwu stared at a tall woman wearing a red scarf. He thought to himself: "This woman looks so good, like a wife in an island film." ”
Yao Xinwu, who was itching, took the initiative to walk over and talk to the other party. After chatting for a while, Yao Xinwu saw that the other party was not very guarded against him, so he saw the right time to drag her into a nearby freight car.
"Don't shout, I'll strangle you if you shout." Yao Xinwu showed his hideous nature.
The woman was so frightened that she said, "Don't kill me, don't kill me...... I'll give you whatever you want......"
"I'm going to play with you."
"Yes...... As long as you don't kill me, you can do anything......" The woman was so frightened that she hid under the straw curtain in the corner of the carriage and unbuttoned her pants.
Yao Xinwu couldn't stop seeing it, and he also untied his belt. Afterwards, Yao Xinwu strangled the other party with a belt.
"Those girls are very protective of their lives, and they are very cooperative from beginning to end......" Yao Xinwu said with some smugness.
"Do you know why?" Fang Jinyu looked at him coldly.
"Can why? I'm afraid of death......"
"No, because she's pregnant...... She's got to live......"
Yao Xinwu lowered his head slowly with his mouth half-open.
"Tell me how you killed Shi Lei, right?" Zhou Kejian asked again.
Shi Lei...... Wasn't he hacked to death by the underworld? ”
"Yao Xinwu," Zhou Kejian said with a blushing face, "You'd better be honest...... The real cause of Shi Lei's death was sildenafil and nitroglycerin poisoning...... It's you who poisoned it. ”
Yao Xinwu snorted softly, and there was a little more self-deprecation in this voice.
"Looks like I'm underestimating you." Yao Xinwu said, "Okay, you can't do anything to me anyway, it's okay to tell you everything...... I killed Shi Lei, but he was unplanned...... I found out about him and my mom, and I was angry and I wanted to get revenge on him...... I heard my mother say that Shi Lei has heart disease and has the habit of taking acid-glycerin, so I thought of using viagra to poison the ......"
"How do you know that?"
"I like to study chemistry and am interested in it......
"Keep explaining."
"There is a person on the Internet who ......" Yao Xinwu said and suddenly changed his words, "I heard that Shi Lei is on the run, you are looking for him, and the underworld is also looking for him...... I secretly found Shi Lei's phone number from my mother's mobile phone, called him, and asked him to meet......"
"He agreed?"
"Hmm."
"Why? He knows that so many people are looking for him, why did he agree to meet you? ”
"Because I told him I had what he wanted."
"What's that?"
"Photos."
"What photo?"
"Photos of the underworld forcibly demolishing their homes."
"Where did you get that?"
"It fell from the sky." Yao Xinwu saw that the two interrogators were full of doubts, and said, "It really fell from the sky, and I don't know who sent it to me......"
"Go on." Fang Jinyu said.
"I met with Shi Lei. He asked me why I wanted to help him, was it conditional? I said yes, as long as you stay away from my mother in the future...... He agreed...... Then he said he hadn't eaten or drunk for a long time, so I bought him two loaves of bread and a bottle of drink......"
"Did you put the medicine in the drink?"
"Right...... I just want his dog's life, but I didn't expect this bastard to really can't help but run away to make trouble, stupid......"
"Let's talk about the master of crime!" Fang Jinyu said.
"That's a game, there's not much to say."
"Is there really nothing to say?"
"It's really nothing...... If there is, it's just that I didn't clear the customs, and it's a bit of a pity......" Speaking of this, Yao Xinwu suddenly remembered the diary that disappeared in his mind, and now it seems that it has not fallen into the hands of the police, which is quite comforting.
In the ancient building pavilion on the top of Cuifeng Mountain, Chen Nian and Lu Buping met.
Chen Nian asked, "How did you get that picture?" ”
Lu Buping retold the process of negotiating with Song Delong. Then he said, "I thought it was a strange design, it didn't look like a stationery manufacturer's logo, but it was actually printed." When I went back, I used the relevant resources to check ......"
"Is there a result?"
Lu Buping shook his head.
"I always feel that Chen Yue is still alive." Chen Nian said suddenly.
"Could it be just a coincidence?"
"I don't know ......"
"If all assumptions are true...... Then, it is likely that Chen Yue has been involved in the human trafficking case......"
"That's what worries me the most......"
Lu Buping patted Chen Nian's shoulder: "Don't think about it so much...... How's that whitestripe murder case? ”
"It's broken, and the murderer has already been found." Chen Nian said.
"I didn't expect it to be a child!"
"yes!" Chen Chang breathed a sigh of relief, "When I was handling this case, I often thought, under what circumstances can people have no shadow? There are only two situations—one, standing under the scorching sun; Second, hide in the boundless darkness of the forest. Yao Xinwu seems to be a good boy with excellent character and no shortcomings, but in fact, he hides his darkest and most cruel side in this dark forest. The light does not come in, and he does not receive the light. Over time, evil has been brewed and social ...... has been endangered."
Interrogation room.
Fang Jinyu finally asked earnestly, "Do you regret doing all this?" ”
"What do you mean by regret?" Yao Xinwu still looked disdainful.
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
"What's so terrible about dying...... Besides, I'm under the age of 16, and you can't sentence me to death......"
"Don't you feel sorry? The best years to spend in prison ......"
Yao Xinwu did not answer. He looked up at the camera with a relieved expression, and the light suddenly brightened. He closed his eyes and breathed quietly, a childlike smile on his lips.
【Epilogue】
The last day of the Gregorian calendar year. It's snowing again.
Yao Xinwu walked out of the prison in handcuffs and shackles and walked to the courtyard where the wind was released.
The north wind howled. The four fields are vast.
At this time, Yao Xinwu had already cut off his long hair and beard, and looked more like a student.
He raised his head higher, and his pair of red phoenix eyes squinted at the small sky above him, as if he longed for a bird to fly by, even if it was a crow.
"Quack ......"
Sure enough, a crow was flying.
Yao Xinwu showed a look of joy and stretched his neck to look into the sky.
Suddenly, a card spun and flew towards him. Hearing only the sound of "bang", a crack was left on Yao Xinwu's neck, and red blood gushed out instantly.
The sixteen-year-old boy slowly fell to the ground. He always had a faint smile on his face, as if he was enjoying the pleasure of that moment for a long time.
The wind blows.
A crow fell.
【Afterword】
In 2017, a ministry issued the Public Security Administration Punishment Law (Revised Draft for Public Comment), which proposed to lower the age of administrative detention from 16 to 14.
