Deadly Delivery

Chapter 131: Tit for tat

Views:

The general content of the suicide note was that Wu Qian had actually guessed that the murderer was Huang Xu. Although she was very grateful to Huang Xu, she always felt that this would only harm Huang Xu. After thinking it over again and again, she decided to tell the hotel owner that she was raped by Curry and Wang Qiang, and then resign and leave. This way she could help Huang Xu cover up the crime and leave this sad place.

But who would have known that, that night, she and the hotel owner made an appointment to meet in the office. After she told the owner what had happened to her, the hotel owner not only did not show sympathy and comfort, but took advantage of the alcohol and raped Wu Qian again.

Such things happened to Wu Qian repeatedly, making her completely despair of the world. After thinking it over again and again, she had the idea of committing suicide. She felt that she was sorry for her boyfriend who was far away in her hometown, and also sorry for Huang Xu who took care of her in every possible way, so she left this suicide note and then committed suicide in the water tank on the roof.

After learning such an unacceptable fact, Huang Xu no longer felt sad. He had only one thought, which was revenge. At that time, a crazy plan appeared in his mind.

Huang Xu immediately rushed to the rooftop, opened the water tank, and saw Wu Qian's cold body. He wanted to take the body out of the water tank, but he wanted to avenge Wu Qian even more, so Huang Xu returned to the security room. During the day when there were many people around, he quietly changed his clothes and took a dagger to the water tank on the rooftop. With tears in his eyes, he cut off Wu Qian's head in the water tank, and then quickly returned to the monitoring room to continue making surveillance videos of ghost murders.

He replaced the videos before and after Wu Qian's death with the video he had recorded of Curry and Wang Qiang entering Wu Qian's room, and then cut out the video of Wu Qian entering the hotel owner's office last night to use for the murder tonight.

But he never expected that when he and Zhang Wei were pulling Pan An, Pan An actually kicked over some flower pots in the corridor on the eighth floor. Although I picked up all the flower pots at that time, Huang Xu understood that if the flower pots were not arranged in the original way, the video would be exposed, so he quietly went upstairs to arrange the flower pots when no one was paying attention, but his carefulness also left him with solid evidence of murder.

At night, Huang Xu used the fact that he knew about the affair between the hotel owner and Wu Qian as an excuse to force the hotel owner to meet in his office at night to discuss the issue of hush money. This matter was originally a shameful thing for the hotel owner, so he did not tell anyone and met with Huang Xu alone, which gave Huang Xu the opportunity to kill.

After killing the hotel owner in the office, Huang Xu still disposed of the body in the same way as before. In this way, he used the previous surveillance video to perfectly complete a cycle of ghost killings.

I don't know if I'm the only one with this problem, which is that I feel that what is recorded by the surveillance camera is absolutely the most real thing, and it often becomes the ironclad evidence in many cases. No matter how incredible the scene in the surveillance video is, I will still not doubt the authenticity of the surveillance video. Perhaps Huang Xu took advantage of this point and made this case so weird. If I hadn't accidentally smashed the flowerpot at the door of my room when I entered the hotel, perhaps I would not have discovered Huang Xu's simple yet insidious method.

After telling the whole story, everyone on the first floor of the hotel fell silent. I don’t know what they were thinking, but at this moment, I actually felt like sympathizing with Huang Xu.

Although Wu Qian is his beloved woman, she does not belong to him. Even so, Huang Xu still fell into the abyss of crime for Wu Qian. I really don't know whether to condemn the dead as they deserved it, or to blame Huang Xu for his cruel means. But the only thing that can be confirmed is that Huang Xu in front of me is a real man who dares to love and hate! When all solutions became powerless bubbles, he chose to use extreme methods to avenge his beloved woman. This alone is worthy of my admiration.

After Huang Xu confessed his crimes, he seemed to be relieved. He turned to Zhang Wei, who was so scared that he couldn't speak, and said, "I don't regret what I did at all. If you go back to my hometown and see my family, don't tell them about me. Just say that I went to work in another place and I won't be back in the future."

Hearing this, Zhang Wei's originally fearful look softened instantly. He did not say anything, but just nodded slightly at Huang Xu and made his final promise to Huang Xu.

Just when everyone was immersed in the atmosphere of Huang Xu's words, Director Ouyang suddenly stood up, pointed at Huang Xu and said coldly: "Since the criminal has been found, take him back immediately!"

Several policemen behind Chief Ouyang immediately came out, handcuffed Huang Xu, and then escorted him out of Jincheng Hotel.

The truth was finally revealed, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Suddenly, I realized that Director Ouyang looked at me with a strange look, so I said, "Director Ouyang, now that the murderer has been caught, I wonder if you are satisfied with the outcome of this matter?"

Director Ouyang snorted coldly, "What else can you be dissatisfied with? Now that the murderer can be brought to justice, it is naturally the best result. I just don't know whether the foreign company can be truly satisfied with this result."

At this time, the foreign police had already left with the group of police officers escorting Huang Xu, and did not hear our subsequent conversation. I just smiled and said, "Why are they still dissatisfied? The real murderer has been caught. It is up to you to interrogate and sentence him. This is the greatest respect for the deceased. Besides, Curry Gege committed rape in our country. Doesn't it mean that foreigners who break the law can't be punished? They were wrong first, and we have found the murderer. If they still make trouble unreasonably, isn't it a bit of bullying?"

After hearing what I said, the already heavy atmosphere became tense again, and I also clearly saw that Director Ouyang, who originally had a sneer on his face, now had a warm smile on his face again. However, behind this smile, I could taste a hint of murderous intent hidden in his heart!

Director Ouyang laughed for a full minute before he spoke again: "People like you don't understand national affairs. Peace is the most precious thing. Friendship and harmony are the foundation of exchanges between countries. If such a small matter affects the friendship between the two countries and delays strategic cooperation, isn't it a bit of a loss?"

I also smiled and said to Director Ouyang: "Peace is indeed a fine tradition of our country, but peace is not just about tolerance. If we are bullied by other countries, and we still insist on peace, then in the eyes of other countries, won't we appear a bit cowardly? Be peaceful when it is time to be peaceful, and be tough when it is time to be tough. This can truly reflect the great power style of our country. Director Ouyang, do you think I am right?"

Although we seemed to be discussing some national affairs, I could deeply feel that Director Ouyang in front of me was like a smiling tiger who might eat me at any time.

Just when the atmosphere was about to freeze, Director Li on the side suddenly coughed and said, "Okay, now that the prisoner has been caught, let Director Ouyang handle the rest. Ji Wen, I haven't treated you well since you came to Yinchuan. How about this, I'll treat you to dinner tonight, and you can choose what to eat."

With Director Li stepping out to ease the atmosphere, I immediately felt the pressure from Director Ouyang in front of me reduced a lot. Just as I was about to agree, I heard Director Ouyang interrupt and say, "Hey, Ji Wen and his colleagues from the special case team are here. Logically, it should be me, as the director, who should host. Old Li, you don't have to worry about this matter. Let me treat you tonight. I wonder if you can do me the honor?"

After hearing this, Director Li's face froze, and he immediately smiled and said, "How can I let the director spend money? I'll do it."

"No, I have to treat them to a good meal today and talk about other things. I think I can get along well with this young man, Ji Wen. Maybe we have a lot of common topics. Lao Li, it's getting late. You should go back and leave the things here to me."

Despite what Director Ouyang said, Director Li still refused to leave. I saw clearly that beads of sweat appeared on Director Li's face. It seemed that he was very worried about our safety.

"What? Are you afraid that I will eat these young people? Go back immediately. This is an order!"

Director Ouyang's tone gradually became serious, and Director Li did not seem to dare to disobey the order. He turned around, gave me a look that told me to wish me the best, and left the hotel with a sigh.

Seeing our only savior, Director Li, leave, I suddenly felt nervous. Pan An behind me kept pinching me, as if he didn't want me to accept Director Ouyang's invitation. But if I didn't accept it, how could I refuse

After seeing Director Li leave, Director Ouyang once again looked at me with that professional smile and said, "Why, are you afraid that I will eat you too?"

Naturally, I don't think there will be any danger in this trip, but if I were to have a meal with such a cunning person, there might be some traps waiting for me. Perhaps this meal would turn into the legendary Hongmen Banquet!

Just as I was hesitating again and again, not knowing what to do, I suddenly heard the sound of brakes coming from the hotel entrance. Then, a familiar voice came from the hotel entrance: "Director Ouyang, you are so elegant, but I am really sorry. They have already made an appointment to have dinner with me tonight. I have made an appointment in advance. Director Ouyang, you can't let me break my promise!"
