Outside the house, Zhou Ze was smoking a cigarette while Tang Shi was standing beside him, chewing candy.
Inside the house, corpses hung dejectedly on the wall, with expressions of horror and fear on their faces clearly visible, as if a murder and corpse-hiding case had just happened.
All dead,
Not a single one was left.
Xu Le is dead.
The man who killed Xu Le is dead.
The driver died.
My cousin died.
All points on a line are dead.
Even Zhou Ze was actually dead.
As the Tang poem said, sometimes trouble will never come to you unless you try to avoid it.
A pocket has been opened a long time ago. Whether you like it or not, whether you are happy or not, you are actually in this pocket.
"If they're all dead, the clues will be gone."
Tang Shi looked at Zhou Ze with a smile on her lips. She seemed to like seeing Zhou Ze's mood and state.
There were a group of wolves in the wolf pack, all of them were bitter and grudged, and all they did was look gloomy all day long. Then a husky appeared, and all he wanted to do was lie there and be cute.
It is really a very unpleasant thing.
Why are we all so heavy-hearted
Are you the only one who is naive
What is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth, and this is not only reflected in the distribution of money.
“At present, this is indeed the case.”
Zhou Ze stretched out his hand and rubbed his brow.
"Besides, I have to worry about one thing, which is whether the police will eventually investigate me."
The mastermind and the one who spent the money was Xu Le.
The driver died, and the middleman's cousin also died.
This was also the reason why Zhou Ze resisted seeking revenge before. He didn't want to expose himself because it would ruin his current life.
There are too many differences between modern society and ancient times. Even though there was a household registration system in ancient times, it is not difficult for a person without an identity to hide and live in seclusion if he really wants to.
In modern society, a person's identity information label is very important. Of course, Zhou Ze can hide if he wants, but the price he pays for it is a rapid decline in the quality of his life, and he has to hide all day long.
At the moment, Zhou Ze did not kill the people, but Zhou Ze naturally had to bear the turmoil that might be caused by their killing.
I didn't get to enjoy the pleasure of revenge.
I have to take the blame.
So angry!
Taking out his cell phone, Zhou Ze dialed the police station.
"Hey, I want to call the police."
Tang Shi did not accompany Zhou Ze to the police station, but went back to the bookstore first. Wearing a raincoat and walking on the muddy road on a rainy day to accompany Zhou Ze to check the murder scene was the best she could do. It was impossible for her to accompany Zhou Ze to face the complicated record-keeping and interrogation investigation in the police station.
As for Zhou Ze, he had no choice but to do this. After all, he was the one who had just called the police station to inquire about the deceased's residence. If he didn't call the police now, he would become even more suspicious when the body was discovered later.
Zhou Ze was unwilling to dispose of the body secretly. Before he could figure out who was manipulating all this behind the scenes, he didn't want to be clever and help others clean up the mess.
Maybe, if you are not careful, you will dig a hole and bury yourself.
… …
The investigation and questioning lasted until after eight o'clock in the evening. Several waves of police officers were replaced, and it was clear that they treated Zhou Ze as the murderer.
Don't think that the murderer won't call the police.
In fact,
According to police big data statistics, in more than 80% of murder cases, the murderers will disguise themselves as "spectators" and return to the crime scene to take a look.
Most murderers want to disguise themselves and check messages, while a few have the perverted idea that if I kill someone, you must appreciate my artwork.
If the deceased is not found for a long time, it would undoubtedly be a waste of time for the murderer. Mona Lisa's smile is covered by a layer of black cloth, which makes people feel itchy, so they might as well call the police themselves so that the veil can be lifted.
In the end, an old detective with half-white hair sat in front of Zhou Ze, closed the record book, and said to Zhou Ze:
"Mr. Zhou, you can leave now, but please do not leave Tongcheng for the next month. We may need to contact you for more information."
"good."
Zhou Ze stood up, left the interrogation room, and walked to the door of the police station.
Turning back, I looked at the policemen coming in and out and the row of police cars parked inside, and for some reason, I felt a sense of pressure.
Perhaps, it won’t be long before the truth about the manufactured car accident will come to light, and then what he will face may be the real storm.
The victim is actually me, but the real murderer,
It's also myself.
Zhou Ze was about to go back to the bookstore. He was a little tired and wanted to rest first, but at this moment his cell phone rang. It was his sister-in-law calling.
"Hey, Xu Le, your uncle is here again and sitting at the entrance of the corridor. I asked him to come in and sit but he refused. He said he wanted to wait for you to come back."
Uncle
"Just tell him I won't be back and don't tell him the address of my new store." Zhou Ze didn't want to bother with irrelevant people at this time.
“Bang!”
There was a sound of banging on the door from the other end of the phone.
Zhou Ze frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Uh, your uncle is banging on the door. He said that if you don't come back today, you will go to jail."
Hearing this,
Zhou Ze raised his head, gritted his teeth, and said, "Tell him I'll be back soon."
… …
No one wants to live like a punching bag, no one wants to have their life constrained. Everyone wants to be casual, but that's life.
When you were a few months old, you could pee anywhere and wet the bed at will, and your elders and relatives would greet you with a smile and flick your little penis.
But when you are in your teens and twenties, it is no longer possible to pee at will or have your penis flicked.
It is hard to imagine a 45-year-old man playing the penis of a young man in his twenties:
You peed again, so naughty.
This picture is too hot for the eyes.
Therefore, when Zhou Ze appeared in front of Xu Dachuan,
Xu Dachuan had a gloomy face.
Zhou Ze also had a gloomy look on his face.
Everybody is unhappy.
Everybody is unhappy.
But we still have to meet.
Xu Dachuan did not hurt anyone in the room. When Zhou Ze came, he was squatting there smoking a pipe. When he saw Zhou Ze coming, he stood up, patted his trouser legs, and
"Come for a walk with me."
This time, Xu Dachuan did not bring any local specialties and came empty-handed.
Zhou Ze and Xu Dachuan walked out together, and he didn't say hello to his sister-in-law and Dr. Lin who were standing through the crack of the door.
The two walked outside the community.
It was completely dark.
There weren't many people under the street lights.
Xu Dachuan walked for a while, then squatted down and smoked his pipe.
Zhou Ze stood beside him.
"The boat has been burned." said Xu Dachuan.
Xiaochuanzi should be my cousin’s nickname.
"Yeah." Zhou Ze responded, "I was not in Tongcheng at that time."
"fine."
Xu Dachuan knocked on his pipe and looked up. His face was full of vicissitudes and wrinkles. He was an honest old man who worked hard to support his family. In fact, Xu Le, the college student, was also supported by him.
"Ah Le, it was really unkind of you not to come on the day of Xiao Chuan Zi's funeral."
Xu Dachuan's eyes were moist. He squatted there, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his cracked hands.
"I said, I was not in Tongcheng at that time."
Xu Dachuan suddenly stood up, grabbed Zhou Ze's collar with one hand, pushed Zhou Ze out, and leaned him against the electric pole.
"Ah Le, tell uncle the truth, Xiao Chuanzi, was it you who killed him?"
Zhou Ze narrowed his eyes slightly. There was a lot of information in Xu Dachuan's question just now.
Before, Zhou Ze had some feelings towards Xu Dachuan;
Right and wrong, right and wrong, had nothing to do with him. Moreover, Xu Dachuan was the first stranger who truly cared about him since his rebirth.
He could endure the Lin family's cold stares and bring local specialties to visit him.
Even when she was lying on the hospital bed, she would still smile at Dr. Lin, her niece-in-law, with great satisfaction.
He also said that if he couldn't continue being a son-in-law, the worst that could happen was that he could go back and farm with him.
In Zhou Ze's opinion, he should have been simple, kind, and a pure land.
But now, it seems that this pure land is not as pure as imagined.
"Not me."
Zhou Ze reached out and grabbed Xu Dachuan's wrist.
"Don't think I don't know about Xiao Xiaozi and you. I also know that Xiao Xiaozi has been coming to you often to ask you for money. He is ignorant and unpromising. He has made many mistakes.
But he is your brother after all!"
Xu Dachuan's eyes began to turn bloodshot, and he looked a little crazy.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Zhou Ze suddenly felt disgusted with the man in front of him.
This honest man.
"Don't know what I'm talking about?"
Xu Dachuan leaned in front of Zhou Ze and said word by word:
"That driver, is he dead? He is from the village next to mine. What kind of people do you think Xiao Xiaozi can know? What kind of people do you think he can understand
He is just a nobody, what qualifications does he have to talk to others
I was the one who went to find and talk to that driver.
Your uncle wants you to live a good life. Your wife has fallen in love with someone else and you are living a miserable life. Your uncle will help you kill that mistress!
My uncle wants all the children in our family to live comfortably, not be bullied or looked down upon.
but,
Ah Le,
You can't kill Xiao Xiaozi to silence him.
Your father died early, and it was your uncle who supported your education. Your uncle always treated you as his own child!
You tell your uncle the truth from the bottom of your heart.
Xiao Xiaozi, did you ask someone to hit him to death on purpose like you did last time
Do you want to silence me?"
Zhou Ze took a deep breath.
Xu Dachuan asked the wrong person.
In fact,
Every question he asked was like adding fuel to the fire.
You know, in front of him,
Not his nephew Xu Le,
But the real victim in that incident!
"Bang!"
Zhou Ze kicked out and knocked Xu Dachuan to the ground.
At this moment, Zhou Ze felt like he could not help but explode.
He regretted it, very much. If he had known the current situation would happen, he should have surrendered to the police when he was reborn.
Xu Le's cousin,
Xu Dachuan,
The driver,
Let's all accept the sanctions from the law together, even if he is implicated as Xu Le, it doesn't matter.
Using the second life earned to avenge one's first life seems to be a good way to settle scores.
At least,
It is much better than the current dilemma.
Just now,
The cousin and the driver were both dead, and the man who killed Xu Le was also dead. They died so quickly that Zhou Ze had no chance of revenge.
You are strong and powerful, but it feels like you are punching cotton, which always makes you feel frustrated.
Xu Dachuan, who was kicked to the ground, immediately got up and yelled at Zhou Ze:
"Ah Le, you are the one who turned your back on me.
I'm going to report to the police.
You are a murderer.
Murderer!
I want you to be buried with Xiao Xiaozi, buried with him!!!"
Zhou Ze looked at Xu Dachuan.
Looking at this old man who still looks weathered and honest,
The left hand behind the back,
Slowly black nails grew out,
Zhou Ze curled his lips.
Seems to be savoring this word:
"Buried with him?"
