Chapter 63: Blood and Sweat
The not-so-clear photo in Mussen's hand shows a road maintenance car parked at the intersection, and its flashing warning lights are particularly eye-catching in the night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Captain Wu walked over and took a look, and his eyes widened suddenly. He pointed to the photo in Mu Sen's hand and said incoherently: "This, isn't this the surveillance video of the car that I found before!" How could he have a photo under the surveillance of the expressway?! Captain Wu looked at the murderer in surprise, his face full of incredulity.
Captain Wu had already investigated the identity of the suspect before this, his name was Zhang Guolin, and he was also a hard-working man from the countryside, who came to the construction site in the city to do some hard work just to support his family. None of his past experiences were related to the police force or the traffic team, so Captain Wu couldn't believe that this person actually had an internal photo of the police force. Unless, he's a top hacker. But...... Is he like?
Perhaps, people cannot be disguised, and the sea water cannot be measured. But after staring at Zhang Guolin for a few minutes, Captain Wu still shook his head and said, "Impossible, you can't get this photo!" Captain Wu firmly believes that there will be no such person under his command who "betrays the country for glory" and smears the police badge.
Moreover, another reason why both Mu Sen and Captain Wu were very shocked was that the time on this photo was not yesterday, but several days ago! This shows that before Captain Wu found the car and Mu Sen came back, someone had already captured Zhang Guolin's crime from the surveillance video. He did not call the police, nor did he remind Zhang Guolin to escape in advance, but after Mu Sen came back, Zhang let Guolin receive the photo. Otherwise, Zhang Guolin should not have risked killing another person under this kind of warning.
Zhang Guolin looked at the three people in front of him with strange expressions, and he didn't speak, so he raised his head and said, "Are you still finished?" I'll tell you the truth, I don't know where this picture came from. It didn't take me two minutes from parking to dumping, and it took me less than a minute to leave the car. But within a minute, the picture was on my windshield. It was after I threw the beast out of the bridge and came back that I saw this picture. Actually, there was a note with a few sentences on it, but it had already been burned for me. ”
Mussen: They were all silent. According to Zhang Guolin's account, the mysterious person who gave him the photo should have put things on Zhang Guolin's car within the minute when Zhang Guolin left the car, at the moment when the two cars were staggered. And after Zhang Guolin saw this photo, he knew that he couldn't run anymore, so after struggling all night, he turned himself in.
Mu Sen asked Zhang Guolin at this time: "If I guess correctly, the words on that note are printed, and all the words you say are your heart's voice, right?" ”
Zhang Guolin looked very surprised after hearing this, although he didn't answer, but that expression had proved that what Mu Sen said was right.
Mu Sen subconsciously glanced at Mo Zitong, and it was already very obvious now. There will be no one else who can do such a thing but L. He seemed to be ethereal, but he was close to Mu Sen's side. As if the ghost is lingering, every seemingly unrelated case can actually be found behind him. Mu Sen felt that this was probably also a way of playing, and he reminded Mu Sen in this form that he was always participating in this game.
Captain Wu could see from Mu Sen's expression that it was all related to L. His blatant provocations are all aimed at Mu Sen. But now, the murderer is caught, and the case must be investigated clearly before the case is closed.
So, Captain Wu sat back in his seat and asked, "Zhang Guolin, since you have already come by yourself, let's stop going around in circles, let's talk about the process of your crime!" Why the hell did you kill those people and dump their bodies on an overpass in a busy section? Are you taking revenge on society? ”
"Didn't you say that you already knew what I was doing? I didn't take revenge on society, I'm still the same sentence, they deserve to die. The work-related injury compensation for four people, and the hard-earned money of twenty-five people for two and a half years, were deducted by them without a single cent! We are all poor, we live by making money on our own, but these hungry wolves don't let us live! ”
Captain Wu's expression changed, and Mu Sen, who had always been a little distracted, also shifted his gaze to Zhang Guolin at this time.
I heard him continue: "My cousin and I came to work in this city that you thought was prosperous, so that we could earn some money to make our family live better. We have no culture, no background, and we can't do any work here. But we have strength, we earn hard-earned money with our own hands, this money, clean. Unlike some people, who take the blood and sweat of the poor people as wine and meat on their dinner table. We ran with the engineering team, building bridges and paving roads, doing heavy physical labor that you can't imagine. It bent our spines, but it didn't bend our dignity. However, after two years and seven months, we could not get back a penny of what we deserved. My cousin had both legs amputated due to a construction accident and lost his labor. The family in the village, the sky is falling. And I, as the only pillar of support, didn't even have to get a penny back. Last month, my mother was seriously ill and urgently needed money to see a doctor, so I approached the people who were in charge of the work and begged them to return their wages and compensation to us. But...... That brute only threw me two hundred dollars! When Zhang Guolin said this, his eyes were red. The anger and bitterness of being insulted, the hatred that longed to foil the bones, flashed in his resolute eyes.
"As I didn't get the money back, my mother's condition continued to deteriorate without proper treatment, and eventually, she passed away...... From that moment on, I decided not to pursue any more wages, and I used the two hundred dollars that the beast threw at me to buy ropes and the like. It happened that at that time, the road maintenance department had a job to recruit, so I went. Originally, I just wanted to kill these damn people, but then, when I drove the road back and forth every day on the bridge we had built, I changed my mind. I'm going to show you, I'm going to show this city, the retribution these people deserve! ”
Mu Sen frowned slightly, looked at Zhang Guolin with a pair of deep eyes, and was speechless for a long time. Aside from social order and law, Mu Sen even felt that the man in front of him was quite strong. As he himself said, he earns hard-earned money to support his family with his own hands and strength, and he is a gentleman. No matter how hard and tired he was, he was bent by the reinforced concrete, and he didn't do anything bad to make money, he was a man. Although he was covered in dirt and lived at the bottom of society, compared with those who made black money, Mu Sen felt that the murderer in front of him was not so hateful.
If he hadn't been driven to the end of his rope, how could he have embarked on such a path? The death of my mother is the root cause of all the outbreaks. Now Mu Sen can imagine without asking, the first deceased should be the one who threw Zhang Guolin 200 yuan at the beginning.
Two hundred dollars may not be really useful in today's society. A man's blood and sweat for more than two years is only worth 200 yuan in the end...... It is impossible for Mu Sen to say that Zhang Guolin was right to kill people, but whether those people deserve to die or not, presumably at this time, in the hearts of the three of them, they already have their own judgments.
Zhang Guolin's eyes were always red, but he didn't shed tears. He is like a man made of reinforced concrete, he does not regret or evade what he has done, just like he used to carry bricks and stones, shouldering it.
Zhang Guolin looked at the handcuffs in his hands at this time, and then said: "Those bridges have been built or repaired by us, and we have built them bit by bit...... I know that you people in the big cities have always looked down on us. You take those high-rise overpasses as your pride, the pride of your city. But have you ever thought about it, without these stinky migrant workers you look down on, where would your bridge come from? Can your tall buildings rise from the ground? Expect you to build it yourself? Or do you expect those inhuman brutes to carry bags of cement and steel bars?! Everything you enjoy today is the result of the blood and sweat of others. How can you swallow our hard-earned money so confidently! ”
The more Zhang Guolin spoke, the more excited he became, and finally he yelled.
As far as Captain Wu is concerned, he will never allow such a "contempt of court" thing to happen. But this time, he didn't stop Zhang Guolin's catharsis. He knew that Zhang Guolin was venting all his grievances and anger. And Captain Wu himself was also pondering in his heart, there had never been a criminal, and the words he said made him feel so shocked.
Yes, as the captain of the police force, he works every day and night for the city to be more stable and better. But after all, the city is also a place of filth. In the dark corners that people can't see, some people are doing dirty things that have lost their conscience. However, these are not problems that can be solved by virtue of righteousness. So at this time, when Captain Wu faced such an angry roar from a migrant worker, he actually felt a little frustrated and powerless.
The results of the investigation of the deceased have also come out, and they all worked for it, and their engineering teams have been involved in the construction and repair of several famous bridges and roads in the city.
But the truth is, all they need to see is the bridge, and they only need to see the money. After they are all satisfied, no one will want to see those hard-working people who sell coolies with blood and sweat. No one even thinks about their interests anymore......
