At this time, Zhao Tiezhu had completely given up resistance, so when he said this, I didn't feel that he was threatening me, but rather it was an extremely sincere advice.
"What makes you say that?"
Zhao Tiezhu smiled and said, "It's a pity that I have burned the letter. Otherwise, if I show it to you now, I believe you will be shocked. The letter said that if my father really died of a heart attack, I would replace the medicine I had replaced before, but I thought it was unnecessary at the time, so I didn't do it. In addition, the letter also said that after I killed Master Liu, I should immediately find a place to throw away the electric baton and the bottle of medicine, so that I can put the blame on Master Liu. As for the village chief, he will definitely run away at that time. I just need to follow him and find an opportunity to kill him."
"I thought I had done everything perfectly and no one would know about it, so I didn't do what he said. I was going to kill the village chief in the village, then sell the house and land, take Jinlian and run away to a place where no one knows us, and live a good life. But who could have thought... The only thing I regret now is that I didn't kill the beast, the village chief. If I had known there would be this result today, I would have done it last night and would never let him live!"
Hearing these words, I felt my brain buzzing at that moment! Indeed, if Zhao Tiezhu really followed Qiongqi's instructions, even if I now know that it was Zhao Tiezhu who did it, as long as he refuses to admit it, I really can't do anything to him. I never thought that Qiongqi would find the two key pieces of evidence before the incident happened. Even if it would have happened today, I would have found them!
Such people are truly horrible!
At this time, the villagers all started to discuss quietly, looking at Zhao Tiezhu with sympathy and confusion. Perhaps to outsiders, Zhao Tiezhu's hatred seemed to be incomprehensible to them, but I understood Zhao Tiezhu's feelings very well, because some things that happened in childhood can indeed affect a person's life. And I have always had a dream, that is to become a rich man.
When I was a child, my family was really poor, at least that's how I thought. I often went home to play, and looking at the big house, luxurious decoration and modern appliances, I always felt inferior because my family lived in a small bungalow in the countryside. Not to mention home appliances, even the TV was a small black and white TV that had long been eliminated.
Perhaps because of the inferiority complex I felt at that time, I was usually sensible and able to understand my family’s financial situation. I never asked my family for anything. But just because I didn’t ask didn’t mean I didn’t need it. My parents thought that I didn’t need anything and rarely bought me anything, not even a new piece of clothing.
What I remember most vividly is when I graduated from elementary school. We had to take graduation photos the next day, and we were specifically asked to wear new clothes. However, I didn't have any new clothes in elementary school. All my clothes were discarded clothes that had been washed and discolored and left over from relatives who were older than me. So I usually only wore school uniforms. You know, I was born in the 1990s, and living conditions were generally good back then. Seeing students wearing bright and beautiful clothes every day, I felt indescribably uncomfortable.
That afternoon, I mustered up the courage to tell my dad that I wanted to buy a new dress for my graduation photos, but despite my high expectations, I got a very disappointing answer.
"Why wear new clothes for graduation photos? In our time, it was a great thing to wear a school uniform for graduation photos. You should wear a school uniform tomorrow. This way you will look neat."
My mother understood my feelings more and said she wanted to take me shopping for clothes, but my father stopped her. In the end, the two of them had a big fight over the matter. As a result, the next day, my mother, with tears in her eyes, gave me a set of old clothes that looked relatively bright to wear for my graduation photos.
I burned that graduation photo a long time ago because I was the most conspicuous one in the photo, completely out of place with the others. Also, because of my outfit, I was placed in the corner and no one wanted to stand with me.
This incident left a huge shadow on me. Even when I occasionally saw him later, I would pretend not to know him. From then on, I secretly vowed to become a rich man and wear new clothes every day! Now when I meet Zhao Tiezhu, who also suffered scorn and blows in his childhood, I seem to see my own shadow in him. At the same time, I also understand how strong the hatred in his heart is.
The village chief turned pale immediately after hearing what Zhao Tiezhu said, but he did not refute anything because the people who were looking at him angrily at this time were not only Zhao Tiezhu, but also a large number of villagers and the police officers around. Although the village chief was also a victim in this murder case, in my opinion, his behavior was much worse than Zhao Tiezhu's.
"Why are you so stupid? Who said I would despise you? Even if the whole world will despise you, I won't! Have you ever considered me when you did this? What do you want me to do in the future?" Zhao Tiezhu's girlfriend, who had been standing beside him crying silently, now burst into tears and pulled Zhao Tiezhu's clothes and cried, "When I met Pan Jinlian before, I thought she was a simple and shy girl. Now she can say such words in front of so many people, which shows how much she cares about Zhao Tiezhu."
The moment he heard Pan Jinlian's voice, Zhao Tiezhu's originally relieved face suddenly showed a trace of reluctance. He turned around and smiled at Pan Jinlian, gently wiped away her tears with his hands, and said with a smile: "You may not understand my actions, but you have to understand that I did this because I hope we can stay together forever. It's too late to say anything now. If there is anything in this world that I can care about, it is probably only you. Jinlian, you are still young, go find a better man than me and live a good life."
After saying that, Zhao Tiezhu gently pushed Pan Jinlian away without waiting for her to continue speaking. His action immediately made the police officers on both sides alert, and then Zhao Tiezhu took out a slightly rusty dagger from his arms!
"Zhao Tiezhu, what are you going to do! Do you think you still have room to resist now?"
Upon seeing this, Officer Yang immediately pulled out his gun, pointed it at Zhao Tiezhu, and shouted sternly.
Zhao Tiezhu ignored Officer Yang and smiled even more. He stared at me and said, "Ji Wen, there is one last sentence on the letter. If I am caught by you, the weirdo told me to tell you one thing: Baiyujing in the sky, Louwucheng!"
After saying that, a fierce light flashed in Zhao Tiezhu's eyes. He gritted his teeth, took the dagger in his backhand, and stabbed it into his throat fiercely. The police officers on both sides had no time to stop him. Blood gushed out of Zhao Tiezhu's throat like a fountain, splashing on the dazed face of Pan Jinlian, who fainted on the spot.
We were all shocked by Zhao Tiezhu's sudden action. I, who was inexperienced, didn't know what to do. Officer Yang immediately ordered the accompanying police officers to carry Zhao Tiezhu to the hospital for emergency treatment.
The truth was finally revealed, and the villagers also understood the whole cause and effect. Naturally, there was a lot of discussion. I didn't care about these things. After Officer Yang and Bai Qi had completely settled the place, I went back to my home in the city in a police car with Bai Qi and others.
Later, I also asked Officer Yang about the outcome of the case. Zhao Tiezhu cut his own trachea and died on the road. His girlfriend Pan Jinlian was also greatly shocked and is now recuperating in the hospital. As for the village chief, he has been dismissed from his post due to his bad conduct and is now being taken to relevant departments for further investigation. It is said that many cases of dereliction of duty by the village chief have been uncovered. It seems that the village chief will have to spend the rest of his life in prison. This can be regarded as the fulfillment of Zhao Tiezhu's last wish.
