Chapter 172: Public opinion kills

Views:

We never know whether Hao Ren was thinking of seeking justice for the owner at the moment when he acted bravely, or relying on this incident to make himself famous. It's like we don't know whether Zhang Bin's words on the wine table are drunk words or true thoughts in his dirty heart.

It's as if we don't know, where are those people who keep asking for the truth now

Maybe what they want is the truth they want to see.

According to Hao Ren, it has been a week since Hao Ren left, and Sister Mary also posted a post, but it quickly sank in the mighty Internet torrent. Compared with the popular video before, Miss Mary's post about the truth of the video received very few hits.

It's not that there is a problem with Mary's technology, or that we can't afford to hire a sailor, but that something happened this week. A star in the showbiz passed away. This celebrity is usually approachable and popular, and he died young. It has become a hot topic on the Internet, and everyone is mourning.

Guan Zengbin looked at the Weibo reposted by Aunt Li and said: "Aunt Li doesn't know this star at all, and she also reposted some topics, as if she is a loyal fan of this star. But this may be good, no one will Don't let us go, otherwise I guess Gu Chen won't dare to go out recently."

I suddenly remembered that the most popular news in Moments a few days ago was "Being beaten for being brave and rebellious". And the news screen is the picture of Gu Chen pulling Hao Ren's collar. And just a few days passed, and no one seemed to mention this matter anymore, and the Hao Ren incident that caused a lot of noise a week ago was rarely seen in the circle of friends.

Gu Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you don't tell me, I'll forget about it."

I sighed and said: "Now the pace is really too fast, people are used to it, and the current news may be covered by a bigger news in a minute. You will know what happened and what happened immediately , I think, this matter may end forever like this.”

"Hao Ren sent us an invitation just now, saying that his Hao Ren Martial Arts Hall will finally open, and it will be scheduled for tomorrow. He apologized to us, saying that it was what the lawyer asked him to say."

I shook my head and said, "Hao Ren's play is really good enough. He apologized after the matter calmed down? He didn't kill him. He didn't need to apologize, and of course he didn't need to apologize to us. He just borrowed He just fired himself up because of this matter, he just stepped a person into the quagmire forever."

Everyone was silent.

Guan Zengbin said: "Hot events are like this. They won't last long. Maybe they will pass in a while, and at most it won't exceed a month. Just like people don't mention Hao Ren anymore, maybe they don't know who Zhang Bin is. Is it so important who is right and who is wrong? Maybe Zhang Bin went to another city to start a new life, and no one there knew him."

"Go ahead, what else can it do?" I said.

Early the next morning, we showed up outside Hao Ren's martial arts gym, and the sound of crackling firecrackers rang out. Today is the sixteenth day of the lunar calendar, which is a good day for opening. However, there were not many people outside the martial arts hall, and there were not many crowds watching. We saw Hao Ren at the door with a smile on his face.

Seeing us, Hao Ren took the initiative to come over, and he said: "I know I did something wrong, but it's good to teach Zhang Bin a lesson. You see, I successfully opened a martial arts gym, and Zhang Bin, in this life I will never make such a mistake again. Isn’t this a win-win situation? Don’t be so straight-faced. You see, there are not many people here. People are the most forgetful. After a month, people will forget who I am You will forget who Zhang Bin is."

As he said that, Hao Ren handed over 50,000 yuan to us: "Give this money to Zhang Bin. If I wanted him to die, he would have died a long time ago. Du Zigui really wanted to fight him desperately. I was the one who stopped him..."

As he said that, Hao Ren shook his head and showed a miserable smile: "If he wants to find Zhang Bin desperately, how can Zhang Bin survive? Although Zhang Bin is hateful, it is not a capital crime. But I always give Zhang Bin A lesson, can you understand how it feels to be a father?"

"It's the greatest kindness for me not to kill him." Hao Ren said with desolation in his eyes, "Whether you see me as good or evil, I think I am right and I have a conscience in my heart. A few days ago it was Xiaoqi and Zigui's first seven, we have a custom in the countryside, after the first seven, this person has really left."

"Then let's end this matter like this." Hao Ren said as he walked into the martial arts hall, "You give the 50,000 yuan to Zhang Bin. From now on, we will have no more entanglements. My world is over. No matter what you do, just be worthy of your own conscience, if it can bring happiness to your family, why not do it?"

After saying that, Hao Ren left without looking back.

I looked at the plaque on the martial arts hall, and couldn't help being stunned.

It's not the Hao Ren Martial Arts Hall, but the Hao Ren Martial Arts Hall.

Art is still there.

Gu Chen looked at the 50,000 yuan in my hand, and then said slowly, "Hao Ren's last words don't seem to be lying. Is he a good guy or a bad guy?"

I didn't answer, and I didn't know how to answer. Most of the time, we always look at the world with a dual view, but in fact, the world is complex and changing. A person is good and evil, a thing is black and white. In reality, there will never be black and white things, nor will there be a completely bad person and a completely good person.

It's just that most of the time, we ignore this.

He may be bad at the moment when he is going to frame Zhang Bin, but he may be good at this moment.

Hao Ren turned around and left, telling us that the Jianghu matter is over, and he has made a clean break with us from then on. And we took the 50,000 yuan and went to Zhang Bin. We haven't seen Zhang Bin for two weeks, and we haven't heard from him since Zhang Bin left, and he may have left the city.

We went to find Zhang Bin at Shun Chang Daily Rent House, but Zhang Bin had already left.

"Where are we going to find it? The phone is also down. Could it be that he has left this city to live in another city?" Gu Chen frowned and said, "After all, Zhang Bin is not a local, but an orphan. It doesn't matter where he goes. of."

I pondered for a moment and said, "Do you still remember the cheap rental house? Go there and look for it. If Zhang Bin is not there, return the money to Hao Ren."

We came to a cheap rental house in the suburbs, and came to the place where Zhang Bin once lived.

The door is locked, and this kind of container has no windows, that is to say, if you want to lock the door from the inside, there must be someone inside. But Gu Chen patted it several times, but no one agreed. Gu Chen was a little annoyed, he slapped hard, and Gu Chen slapped open the door of the container.

A stench came out, very strong.

A pair of feet appeared in front of our eyes, drooping in the air.

As the sun shines, we can clearly see the feet and the owner of the feet.

It's Zhang Bin.

A rope was put around his neck and he died.

The corpse looked like it had been there for some time, but fortunately it was winter, so the decay was not serious.

We were all silent, no one could believe that Zhang Bin died like this, that cowardly person who was afraid of death actually died. And the container didn't show any signs of being destroyed, which means that he committed suicide. Zhang Bin, who was so afraid of death, committed suicide.

Guan Zengbin walked up, looked at the corpse, and said, "Go back and have an autopsy."

Autopsy results came out.

Guan Zengbin said without emotion: "The time of death was about ten o'clock in the morning a week ago. The cause of death was hanging himself. Judging from the scene, no more fingerprints were found, which means..."

I followed Guan Zengbin's words and said: "This means suicide. The container was not damaged. I carefully observed the latch on the back of the door. If Gu Chen didn't use such force, it would not be able to be opened from the outside. Naturally, no one would Being able to lock the door of the container and then leave is the most obvious evidence."

"What?" two people asked me at the same time.

I said, "He has changed into a new suit."

"Is this important?" Gu Chen asked.

I nodded: "For a person who wants to die, this is very important."

"What does it mean?" Gu Chen asked again.

I looked at the cold body and said, "It means that he wants to say goodbye to his old self. Perhaps, some unwarranted accusations are placed on him, and every word is to blame."

"What about the corpse?" Guan Zengbin said: "He is an orphan. If no one comes to claim it for a week, he will probably donate it to the university. The corpses I dissected are mostly unclaimed corpses."

Only then did I realize that Zhang Bin was also an orphan. It's a pity that he didn't meet a father like Hao Ren, so he could only rely on himself. I realized this all of a sudden. I always thought that orphans like Zhang Bin were different from Wang Anfang and Xiaoqi.

I suddenly understood Zhang Bin's last sentence.

The date of Zhang Bin's death was only a few hours behind that star.

The body lay for a week, and none of us had any hope that it would ever be taken. However, the gods are so good at joking. A week later, a girl came to claim the body. The girl looked shy, and her clothes were worn out.

"I heard that my brother's body is claimed here?" She said timidly.

"Your brother?" I asked.

"No, not my real brother." She was very afraid of us: "His name is Zhang Bin, I, I saw the report on TV."

I nodded, and while leading her to the morgue, I asked, "How do you recognize Zhang Bin as your elder brother?"

She replied in a low voice: "I have been with him since I was a child, and I was adopted by him. I have a physical problem, and I have been in the hospital recently."

As she spoke, she showed me the wound on her stomach.

"It was done by my father when I was a child, and I had no money to see a doctor. Later, my mother was afraid that my father would beat me to death, so she quietly threw me away." She said, but there was no emotion in it: "I have no money, until now , recently, my brother saved enough money, and I just had surgery... "

I finally know where Zhang Bin spent his money, and I finally know who Zhang Bin has been hiding from.
