Chapter XXXVII: Homicide Statement
"Go away! Stay away from me! You devil! Ping Xiaoxiang waved her hands indiscriminately in an attempt to drive Yang Wenbin away, but Yang Wenbin clamped her wrist.
"You stupid woman." Yang Wenbin's eyes were sharp, "You don't know what you've done at all, from beginning to end you are just a chess piece used by the clown, as long as you run out, you will give it up!" And you're still working for him like this, do you have to see this city turn into hell on earth? ”
"You know what! You don't know anything! Ping Xiaoxiang suddenly yelled at Yang Wenbin, tears moistening her cheeks, "They ...... You, you killed him! He died in despair, and I couldn't even say the last word to him, that was the person I loved the most! ”
"I know." Yang Wenbin let go of Ping Xiaoxiang's hand and said calmly, "I already know everything." I already know why you killed me, why you killed those people. I think about it all. ”
Yang Wenbin closed his eyes, as if suppressing some painful feelings, he looked at the sunset that was gradually disappearing into the horizon in the distance.
"In this case, from the chain of 'life and death' at the beginning to the 'life and death chain' at the beginning, there is one thing I can't figure out, that is, 'why?' Why were these people killed, and why was I also counted as a link in this chain? I began to try to find the common denominator of these deceased, and I found the torture of prisoners in Iraq ten years ago, and the four dead people were all more or less connected to that incident. However, this still does not explain why they were killed, because they did not know each other at the time of the prisoner abuse ten years ago. Not to mention that I was only eighteen years old at the time, and it was impossible for me to have ever been to the battlefield in Iraq. I've tried so many times, but I can't connect me to four dead people, and I can't figure out why one person would want the lives of all five of us at the same time. Until that night at the police station, I was attacked by you. ”
Yang Wenbin looked at Ping Xiaoxiang, who was expressionless and didn't say a word, unable to see what she was thinking.
"Well done, I gotta say. If it weren't for the poppy by my side that time, I would have been killed by you. Yang Wenbin shrugged his shoulders and continued, "It was at that time that through Poppy's casual words, I realized the existence of a dead person in this case. That's right, it's your boyfriend, Liang Pengcheng. It all started with him and ended thanks to him. Through Liang Pengcheng's corpse, I thought of a possibility. Maybe killing the four people behind, the murderer's purpose was to avenge the dead Liang Pengcheng. If so, then everything is clear. You are Liang Pengcheng's girlfriend for seven years, you knew each other long before he went to the battlefield, and Liang Pengcheng's death must have hit you hard. Grief and overwhelmed, teetering on the edge of conscience and revenge, the Joker finds you, so you agree to work with him, and the two of you work together to complete this shocking case. ”
"And the five people you found are not unfounded. The connection between Chen Hongfu, Tang Yuankai, Tao Mingliang and Zhu Tianyou is not in the Iraqi battlefield, but in the fact that after they were repatriated, they were sent to the same hospital for surgery. At that time, I, Yang Wenbin, also happened to be an intern in that hospital. Yang Wenbin took a deep breath, "That's right, I remember everything." On that day, Ningde Hospital sent a total of five Chinese who had returned home from the battlefield in Iraq. Among them were two mercenaries, a journalist, a field doctor, and a Chinese interpreter for the U.S. military. At that time, I was just a kid who didn't understand anything, I didn't understand what the identities of these people were, I only cared about one thing, and that was that my adoptive father was injured. The surgeon was very busy, so he asked me to give blood and glucose transfusions to those people first. I did so, but when it was Juber's turn, I was so nervous that I accidentally knocked over the infusion bottle on the side. Broken glass splattered out and slashed right into the translator's face. He screamed in pain, and the scene was chaotic. I didn't know what to do, so I ran away. Later, I only knew that it was the surgeon in charge who took the responsibility and paid compensation to the translator's family, and the matter was over, and no one knew about my careless mistakes. Even I myself have forgotten about it. ”
"How dare you...... How dare you say these words so easily! Ping Xiaoxiang's expression became hideous, and she looked at Yang Wenbin with a look in her eyes as if she wanted to tear him to pieces, "You hypocritical demon, you are the same as those people!" You ruined the life of a good man, but you didn't feel wrong in the slightest! Do you know what those guys did to my boyfriend when they returned home? They insulted him, beat him, kicked him around like a ball, and called him a Yankee one-eyed! And do you know who caused all this? It's you! It was your so-called 'accidental' who ruined half of his face! You let him live in the shadows for the rest of his life! What exactly did he do wrong? He was just an ordinary translator, an ordinary person who wanted to live an ordinary life after the battlefield, and it wasn't he who abused those prisoners of war! Why should he be subjected to these inhuman treatments! ”
Facing Ping Xiaoxiang, who was almost crazy, Yang Wenbin was still as calm as water, and his eyes were like eagle eyes staring at this terrible and poor woman.
"Maybe you're right. I don't know what Liang Pengcheng experienced before his death, only that he died in pain. It's unfair, but how many things around us are fair? If your way of revenge is to kill someone in an unfair way, what is the difference between you and those who commit violence? Yang Wenbin said word by word, "Wake up!" Neither me nor the four people who died were the murderers of Liang Pengcheng! Stop your ridiculous fantasies, no one wants to kill your poor boyfriend! All this was planned by the clown, and Liang Pengcheng was also killed by him! There are no so-called suspects at all, these are just lies made up by the clowns in order to borrow your hand to kill people! ”
"You're wrong." Ping Xiaoxiang suddenly showed a smile and interrupted Yang Wenbin, "I'm not here for revenge, nor am I suspicious of any of you who killed him. In fact, from beginning to end, I knew it was the clown's doing. Poor kind Physician Yang, I admit that your reasoning is good, most of the details have been thought of, but you are still wrong. ”
"What?" Yang Wenbin was taken aback.
"I know that the clown killed Liang Pengcheng. It was I who asked for him. Because I could no longer see the man I loved the most, indulging in despair day after day, and gradually becoming a deformed monster who went crazy all day long. It was the clown, and that man helped me, and also the person I loved, and gave him a happy ending. I know the Joker is using me, but I don't care, I'm dead, and now I just want the same taste of the brutes who have insulted him and ruined his life. Ping Xiaoxiang's body no longer trembled, and the previous look of fear was completely gone, she suddenly pulled out a sharp dagger from her satchel and pointed it at Yang Wenbin's neck. In an instant, the situation was completely reversed,
"I killed Chen Hongfu first. The little man was the best one, and I let him touch my boobs a few times, and he thought I had agreed to sleep with him, and ran out to take a shower, and that's when I walked in and slit his throat with a sharp blade. Then there's Tang Yuankai, who is a hypocritical demon who almost pees his pants when I threaten him with information that he is gay. I gave him sleeping pills and broke him up in my sleep. My fingers are stained with blood and flesh, and I've never felt so good in my life! Tao Mingliang had been beaten half-dead by Zhu Tianyou before, and I only needed to make up for it to end him. Zhu Tianyou, your adoptive father is the most difficult to deal with, he almost killed me. He could, he should have killed me as soon as he caught me, but he hesitated. At that moment, the scalpel I had prepared in my hand stabbed him in the chest and went straight through his heart. You are a surgeon, you should know how long it takes for a person to die after the heart is penetrated, right? ”
Speaking of this, Ping Xiaoxiang smiled nervously, and the dagger in her hand pressed Yang Wenbin tighter, but she didn't mean to kill him.
“…… You're crazy. After a while, Yang Wenbin squeezed out these words from between his teeth, "You are as crazy as that clown who jumped off the beam!" ”
"Maybe I'm crazy, after all, everyone says I'm crazy. But at least I'm not lying. ”
A familiar voice came from behind Yang Wenbin. Xia Baiyan was wearing a neat suit, his hair was neatly tied, his shirt was buttoned to the third button, and his whole person exuded a lazy and keen atmosphere. Xia Baiyan jumped slightly, directly bypassed Yang Wenbin, came to Ping Xiaoxiang's side, and lightly hugged her waist.
"Baby, put down the knife, he doesn't pose any threat to us." Xia Baiyan approached Ping Xiaoxiang, imprinted a kiss on her ear, climbed her arm with one hand, snatched the knife from her hand, and signaled that from now on, the home field will be handed over to him as the protagonist.
Ping Xiaoxiang obediently handed over the weapon, and leaned on Xia Baiyan's arms very little. Yang Wenbin retched in disgust.
Xia Baiyan didn't care about Yang Wenbin's attitude at all, "Look, Doctor Yang. You doubt this and that, but in the end you don't think of this, that is, I never cheated on my Britney. She adores me and believes me, we are a perfect combination. At least not like how many times you've been in trouble with that cop, right? ”
