Chapter Seventy-Three: Zheng Hai
At first glance, these two are a very discordant combination, but the expressions on their faces are equally comfortable. There was a faint smile on Li Xiao's quiet little face, and Teacher Li's husband was also looking at me with gentle eyes at the moment.
But through the bodies of the two men, I could see through the cracks what was behind meβit was blood. On the walls, there were blood stains like cobwebs. A tingling chill hit my spine.
ββ¦β¦ What is your purpose? β
I opened my mouth several times, but every time something I wanted to say reached my throat, it felt like I was swallowing a mouthful of sand, rather than inhaling air. Li Xiao and Teacher Li's husband, their eyes did not change when they looked at me.
"You must be meeting for the first time, right? Mr. Policeman, he is Zheng Hai, the husband of Teacher Li......"
Li Xiao didn't seem to hear my question, and the panic on my face at the moment seemed to be ignored by her. Before Li Xiao finished speaking, Zheng Hai smiled lightly, glanced at me, and said, "No need to introduce, we have already met." β
"Oh? Is it? β
Zheng Hai looked at me for a long time, and my gaze gradually became complicated when I looked at him. Teacher Li's husband, a man named Zheng Hai, has always left me with the impression of being gentle and not good at words. But now, his calm and unhurried feeling gives me a strong sense of disobedience.
"Why don't you come in and talk? ...... in the house It may be a little dirty, but there is still a place to sit. β
After that, Li Xiao and Zheng Hai also got out of the way and let me go inside. I glanced inside, and the blood was still there, it wasn't my hallucination. I thought, what's not normal at the moment, is it me, or these two guys?
I don't think I can back down here, though, and this is probably the only time I've been so close to the truth of the matter. If I retreat here, maybe my life will be safe, but don't think about completing the mission.
I subconsciously reached out and touched the belt, and when my fingers touched the belt, the crystal belt heated up slightly - Mengling seemed to respond to my thoughts. The warmth regained my confidence, and I calmed myself down as much as I could, and walked into the room in silence.
Li Xiao accompanied me inside, while Zheng Hai gently closed the door. Li Xiao's place is not big, only about fifty square meters, and when he enters the house, he immediately enters the living room. I saw several people lying in the living room, all students in school uniforms.
However, there was no trace of panic on Li Xiao and Zheng Hai's faces, and the two of them motioned for me to sit opposite the sofa, and then sit opposite me.
Li Xiao glanced at Zheng Hai, then at the corpse on the ground, then smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Policeman...... I think that since you have found this place, it means that you have read the letter left by the old woman, right? β
I stared at Li Xiao with a complicated expression and nodded slightly. In the letters left by the old woman, the murderer was not named, but key clues were left in them.
The old woman said that she had seen the mysterious man who was taking care of Ash's grave with her. And this man ...... It was Li Xiao.
The old woman may not know that the girl she saw is called Li Xiao, and she doesn't know that this girl and Xiao Zhi are classmates, but I look at the message left by the old woman, and I know that this person will not be anyone else except Li Xiao.
I asked Li Xiao, what is the relationship between you and Xiaozhi? Li Xiao's expression was very flat, and said that when Xiaozhi was alive, they were lovers. Moreover, it's not a lover who only met after high school.
Since they were very young, Li Xiao and Xiaozhi have known each other. Since they are together in their hometown, they have played well since they were young. Li Xiao said that she has always liked Ash since before, because Ash is gentle and smart.
Perhaps, girls are better than boys, although Ash only began to fall in love with her after she was in junior high school, but she has decided to marry Ash in the future since she was very young.
I rubbed my temples and said, so...... You mean that Ash's death is related to this disappearance, right? But if that's the case, why don't you come forward to explain the situation to the police?
I felt a little angry, and it wasn't just because the murderer of the disappearance was actually an underage girl. What's more, Li Xiao's approach is undoubtedly destroying his future. Once she is arrested and brought to justice, this kind of vicious case, no matter how minor she is, will not be pardoned.
Li Xiao raised her eyebrows, glanced at Zheng Hai, and smiled happily,
"Police? Do you mean to make me believe the police? Mr. Policeman...... Let me tell you this, if the so-called police were reliable, Ash wouldn't have died three years ago. β
"But that shouldn't be a reason for you to spoil your future like this. Li Xiao, do you know what you're doing? Now that you have made such a big trouble, sooner or later the police will find out about your head, and when the time comes, ......"
Li Xiao shook her head and told me that when she decided to do it from the beginning, she didn't think about leaving a way back for herself. And this is her own decision. I didn't know what to say, so I turned to Zheng Hai.
ββ¦β¦ What about you, what is the relationship between you and Li Xiao? β
Zheng Hai smiled and said that we are a cooperative relationship. But we have known each other since before, and after learning about Li Xiao's plan by chance, I decided to get involved and help her complete it together.
"In other words, you are accomplices?"
I looked at the various iron torture instruments on the table, all stained with red blood, and my feelings were very complicated. It's hard for me to imagine the scene of Li Xiao, a quiet girl, holding these torture instruments and brutally killing people alive.
But those things are real, and though I don't know how she did it, ...... now Everything was already in front of my eyes. The students lying on the ground were all girls.
I looked at each of them, and realized that these girls were the same ones who had survived the accident last time. This also means that now in the three-year class A, there are only two students left alive, Li Xiao and Wang Yaoyao.
At this point, it is pointless to explore how Li Xiao made the criminal process so hidden, and everyone is dead. I think Li Xiao has also achieved her goal.
I asked her, is your purpose to kill all the students in Class A in the third year? Li Xiao nodded and said yes, because these guys deserve to die. I felt my body tremble slightlyβI didn't expect that one day I would hear such cruel words from the mouth of an underage girl.
At this time, Zheng Hai took out a pitch-black thing from his waist - I looked closely and found that it was actually an automatic pistol with a silencer. I was stunned for a moment, I didn't expect them to have guns on them.
Zheng Hai smiled, pointed a pistol at my head, and said, "Mr. Policeman, if you have any questions, say them as soon as possible, otherwise when you get to Huangquan, there will be no one to answer for you." β
I was silent for a long time, then looked up at Li Xiao and asked, can you tell me the truth about Ash's death three years ago, what is it? The old woman said that what Ash said to her before she died, which she could not forget for a long time, which also made her doubt the truth about Ash's death.
"And...... This sentence also became the ultimate reason for her suicide. β
After I said that, the faint smile on Li Xiao's face gradually disappeared, and he stared at me silently with a gaze that was so cold that it made me feel unfamiliar.
"Why, Mr. Policeman, so you think I killed the old woman?" Li Xiao tilted her head, looking a little puzzled. I watched her show no remorse, and my heart was filled with anger.
"Aren't you still a ghost! If you hadn't appeared in front of the old woman and told her that the reason why Ash died back then was because of her words, she wouldn't have chosen to commit suicide because of guilt! β
More excited than me, Li Xiao seemed very calm. She calmly said that she had only stated the facts to the old woman. She also admits that the old woman is kind and one of the few people who really understands and trusts Ash.
However, it is a fact that she took care of Ash, and it is also a fact that she killed Ash with her own hands. Mr. Policeman, if the old woman hadn't said that to Ash at that time, maybe Ash wouldn't have made that impulsive move. β
Saying that, Li Xiao also stood up, looked at me and said, Mr. Policeman, don't you want to know what happened to Xiaozhi three years ago? Then follow me, and I'll show you how.
After that, Li Xiao walked in the front to lead the way, while Zheng Hai followed behind me, the hard and cold muzzle of the gun against my back, but the gun was hidden in Zheng Hai's long sleeve, so outsiders couldn't see what was going on at all.
After leaving Li Xiao's house and going downstairs, I thought about whether to shout directly to the security guard to call the police - for some reason, I always felt that things were not so simple, and once Li Xiao and Zheng Hai could not be caught here, I would not want to arrest them again in the future.
But after coming downstairs, I immediately dispelled my thoughts, Li Xiao greeted the security guard cheerfully, and the security guard was very kind to Li Xiao, and seemed to have a good relationship with her. I suddenly felt that this person might also be suspected of being bought by Li Xiao, so I had to give up.
Zheng Hai's car was parked in a nearby parking lot, a tan Passat, and after getting into the car, it was Li Xiao holding me hostage at gunpoint, while Zheng Hai was in charge of driving. I glanced at Li Xiao and said you don't have to keep staring at me like this, I won't do anything.
Li Xiao smiled slightly and said that she had decided that she would never trust the police, so she would not listen to my opinion. I looked at Li Xiao's bland but empty eyes, and thought to myself, no matter what happened three years ago, the police must have done something wrong.
Otherwise, I really can't figure out why a typical honor student like Li Xiao would be distorted and reduced to this point. The car began to speed up after getting on the highway, and I found that Zheng Hai seemed to be about to drive directly away from Qianlong City, so I couldn't help but ask the destination.
Li Xiao said that we are going to Jinhe City, do you remember the abandoned amusement park in the Land of Dreams last time? The place we are going is there.
I said silently, it will take a long time to get to Jinhe City, aren't you afraid that the corpses at home will rot? Hearing me say this, Li Xiao and Zheng Hai both smiled lightly, and after a while, Zheng Hai looked at the rearview mirror playfully and said, We didn't say it, only the two of us participated in the case.
I was speechless, and a sense of powerlessness rose in my heart, and after a long time, I remembered something important.
