Being caught by Gu Chen, Rob seems to have no intention of running away, but before being executed, Rob proposes to see his mother one last time. Gu Chen has already contacted him, and after getting off the train, he will transfer Rob to Dongxing City to close the case.
The two bought tickets back to Rob's hometown. On the train, Gu Chen asked Rob about the motive of the murder, and Rob slowly told Gu Chen the story that happened seven years ago, and Gu Chen told me these things through editing text messages during the process.
And we finally understand why Rob killed Lu Zhiqiu in the first place. My previous guess was good. Rob did not kill him carefully. After seeing Lu Zhiqiu, he made up his mind to kill Lu Zhiqiu in a short period of time.
And why Rob wants to kill Lu Zhiqiu when he sees her, it all starts with that dog seven years ago. After listening to this story, I felt helpless from the inside out. This was a murder caused by a dog.
Seven years ago, Rob was still working as a brick mover on the construction site. At that time, Rob was twenty-six years old, and he had a girl in the countryside who was twenty-four or five years old as his girlfriend. Now the monthly salary of brick movers on the construction site averages 10,000 yuan, but it was far worse than it is seven years ago. At that time, a brick mover could meet a woman who did not dislike him and was willing to talk about marriage with him. Having a child is not an easy task.
Different from now, girls who were twenty-four years old seven years ago, especially rural girls, were generally married early, and twenty-four years old were considered leftover women.
Rob's girlfriend works as a waitress in a restaurant, and her working hours coincide with Rob's.
When eating at noon, it was Rob's lunch break, but it was when his girlfriend was busy. So Rob went to the restaurant. All he wanted was a steamed bun. He didn't do it for dinner, but to take time to see his girlfriend. In the afternoon, when Rob was busy, it was when the restaurant was closed, so my friend came to the construction site to look for Rob, although he couldn't help much, but just to be able to stay with Rob.
The two are like glue, loving each other as if they have been together in the last life.
But one day, something happened.
There are everything on the construction site, leftovers, sundries and garbage, such occasions are the favorite places for those wild dogs to come. Usually, these dogs eat leftovers thrown to them by some workers.
This afternoon, Rob's girlfriend came to the construction site to visit Rob again.
But Rob is busy with work, and his girlfriend is sitting in the distance, teasing the puppy when he is bored. The girlfriend bought 20 cents a piece of ham to feed a puppy, but at this time a big dog came and wanted to snatch the ham sausage from the puppy's mouth. The girlfriend's sympathy welled up in her heart. She looked at the thin puppy and decided to help the puppy and snatch the ham sausage back from the big dog's mouth.
But the horror of a big food-protecting dog is predictable. When his girlfriend did something, the food-protecting big dog launched its own counterattack. The big dog bit his girlfriend's arm violently, and the sharp dog teeth pierced into his girlfriend's arm, blood flowed out immediately, and his girlfriend burst into tears.
Someone discovered that Rob's girlfriend had been bitten by a dog, so he quickly told Rob, and Rob and several people rushed his girlfriend to the hospital for cleaning and bandaging and rabies vaccination. After sending his girlfriend back to the rental house, Rob hurried back to the construction site, and he had to continue working.
When he returned to the construction site, Rob happened to see the dog, with blood still in its mouth, running around on the construction site as if nothing had happened. Rob's anger suddenly disappeared, and he called a few workers on the construction site to catch the dog.
After being chased and blocked by several people, the dog was finally caught. But the wild dogs will not be obedient, and the dog's mouth full of fangs bites everywhere. There was no way, several workers hung the dog up. Several people asked Rob what to do with the dog, and Rob was also in trouble. After all, a dog bit a person, and people can't bite the dog back.
So some people said that the dog should be killed and eaten as dog meat, and some people said that dogs should not be eaten. Just when everyone was discussing what to do, those college students who came to the construction site for internship happened to encounter this scene. The college students couldn't help but say that these people want to eat dogs, so they started muttering.
Originally, neither of the two groups could get used to the other. The college students felt that these workers were dirty and uneducated, and the workers felt that these college students were nerds with no human touch. So amidst the uproar, Rob did not decide to eat dog meat, but under the yelling of these people, Rob was angry before, and now he is even more angry.
So Rob said that this dog was meant to be killed and eaten, and these college students should not meddle in their own business. But Rob didn't expect that among the college students, there was a person who loved dogs very much called Lu Zhiqiu, and Lu Zhiqiu would never leave. So the workers headed by Rob and the college students headed by Lu Zhiqiu confronted each other.
In the confusion, Rob couldn't remember who asked the college students to raise 10,000 yuan to buy the dog. At that time, everyone thought it was just an angry remark, who could buy such a wild dog with 10,000 yuan, but Lu Zhiqiu did so. Lu Zhiqiu gave Rob one thousand yuan at that time, and told Rob to give him the rest of the money the next day.
Rob did not expect that Lu Zhiqiu would spend 10,000 yuan to buy a dog, and he was shocked at the time.
Rob put the dog down, and Lu Zhiqiu proposed to pay the money and the dog tomorrow morning.
That night, Rob thought for a long time. He could see that Lu Zhiqiu could really do what he said, but Rob didn't know whether he should ask for the money. The workers told Rob that Lu Zhiqiu could easily spend a thousand yuan, so he must be a child of a rich family. Moreover, Rob's girlfriend is injured in her arm, unable to work, and has to be vaccinated against rabies every day, which will cost money, so it's better to ask for the money.
After thinking about it again and again, facing 10,000 yuan, as a layman, Rob finally made up his mind.
Rob received the remaining 9,000 yuan the next day, and Lu Zhiqiu took the dog away. Everyone thought it was over, but what happened later caught Rob off guard.
About two weeks later, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of the house where the workers lived outside the construction site. They yelled for Rob the beast to get out and give them an explanation. Rob didn't understand what was going on, but before he could understand, he was dragged out by those people.
It seemed that these people were all well-known people, and they all came in nice cars. Rob's mind went blank, he explained again and again, but no one listened to his explanation at all. I don't know who made the move first, these people beat Rob hard.
But this is not the end, these people don't seem to let go of their hatred. They tied Rob's neck with a rope and led Rob forward like a dog. At that time, Rob was going to pick up his girlfriend for an injection. There were no other workers in the dormitory, only Rob, and no one could help him.
For the first time in a long hour, Rob began to doubt the world. Rob doesn't know what the world looks like, and Rob doesn't understand either. He obviously hasn't abused a dog, so why do so many people suddenly come out and say he is a beast.
They beat Rob first, then pulled Rob like a dog, and finally ripped off Rob's clothes and threw them on the ground. And this scene was seen by the girlfriend who asked Rob to get an injection. She saw Rob's distress, and saw Rob's embarrassment. The girlfriend knelt on the ground and begged these people to let Rob go, but instead of doing so, these people even took off Rob's girlfriend's clothes because of the large number of people.
At that moment, Rob suddenly understood that sometimes being a human is much more difficult than being a dog.
From that day on, Rob's life changed completely.
Not long after, his girlfriend broke up with him. After going through that kind of thing, his girlfriend couldn't continue to follow him, and Rob didn't even have the courage to redeem it. The co-workers saw Rob's depression and asked why, but how could Rob tell his co-workers about those things.
Not only did he humiliate himself, but he even hurt his girlfriend.
Rob didn't know what happened. By chance, a coworker saw a post when he went to an Internet cafe to play games. It was a post about Rob's dog abuse. On it, Rob wrote heinous things, and the pictures of those puppies who were tortured and killed were shocking.
Workmates told Rob to be more careful recently.
But the workers don't know that all this has already happened.
Rob thought of the humiliating scene, and immediately thought of Lu Zhiqiu. He thought it was Lu Zhiqiu who did it, and Lu Zhiqiu slandered him on the Internet. So he went to Lu Zhiqiu to argue, but Lu Zhiqiu and Jiang Xiaochun didn't talk to Rob at all, which made Rob even more angry.
Although no one knew about it, when Rob was walking on the road, he always felt that the workers looked at him differently. He always felt that his body was hot, as if he didn’t wear any clothes. The contractor proposed to leave.
That night, Rob used the wages he just paid to buy a one-hundred-yuan barbecue and a bottle of white wine for the first time, and found a dark corner on the side of the road by himself. While eating the mutton skewers and drinking white wine, he was also crying heavily.
At this point, Rob felt like his life was ruined.
He never thought that his life would be ruined because of a dog in this life.
If you lose your job, you can find it again, but the departure of your lover and the humiliation you received will never be forgotten in this lifetime. For more than seven years, Rob even forgot his girlfriend's name and appearance, but that kind of shame, every time he woke up at night, hurt his heart, and he would never forget it in his life.
He gave his girlfriend all the salary of the month and the money he saved, hoping to make up for the scars on his girlfriend's heart. Since then, he has never seen his girlfriend again.
Rob was very hungry that day, and he had no money on him. He thought of going to the construction site to steal some iron to exchange for money to fill his stomach.
That night became a day that many people will never forget in their lifetime.
