serious crime

Chapter 45 The Longtan Island Massacre (16)
"They robbed and murdered, and they committed serious crimes. They really deserve to die, but if you kill them, you also commit crimes. Isn't it worth it?"

"It's not worth it to avenge my relatives. If I don't do this, it will be unfilial. I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"You can say that you don't regret killing them, but if you do this, will your heart feel better? Do you really think that killing them all will really dissipate the hatred in your heart? Have you ever Have you ever thought that if your parents were alive, would they agree with you to do this? In fact, I admire your father very much. He not only wants to make money to treat your mother, but also pays for your schooling. Supporting the whole family, I believe you can understand his hard work better than I do. I believe he very much hopes to see his son grow up, but what about you? You were overwhelmed by hatred and gave up on yourself and your father's love for you. Don’t you think that you are selfish because of your expectations and wanting revenge wholeheartedly? Are you worthy of your father and everything he has sacrificed for you for a long time? You said that if you don’t take revenge, you are unfilial and you will regret it for the rest of your life. Is this considered filial piety now? You gave up everything for the hatred in your heart, can this be called "filial piety"? Don't you think that what you call "filial piety" is actually what you found for your selfish behavior? Is it a 'fig leaf'?"

Yao Shun's righteous words shocked Shen Gang's heart greatly. He was speechless and could only stare at Yao Shun in a daze. After a long time, his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something. What, but finally swallowed it back without saying it.

Perhaps he had thought about these issues before, and he didn't want to live up to his father's expectations of him, but for revenge, he could only put these issues aside; or maybe he didn't dare to think about these issues at all, because he was afraid of thinking about them. If he did, he would soften his heart and let go of those murderers who ruined his family.

Gradually, the circles of Shen Gang's eyes turned red. Although he wanted to bear it, he even wiped away the tears with his hands before they flowed out of his eyes. Obviously he didn't want people to see his inner fragility, but Yao Shun's words had already touched him. The most vulnerable part of his heart, at this time, he could no longer suppress his emotions, which also proved that he was not a cold-blooded and heartless person, but hatred made him lose his true nature.

"Am I really wrong?" Shen Gang asked with a sob.

"From the perspective of family affection, I can completely understand your feelings and sympathize with your experience, but I completely disagree with your behavior of giving up everything for the sake of hatred."

"That means I was really wrong."

"Yes, in fact, since you already know the true identity of the murderers who killed your father and what they did, you can report it to our police. If everything is true, we will definitely bring them to justice , to seek justice for your father, I really don’t understand why you would think of killing them yourself to take revenge? Is there something hidden in this that I don’t know about?”

Seeing that the time was ripe, Yao and Shun began to ask questions that were really meaningful to solve the case.

"I……"

When Shen Gang's words reached his lips, he swallowed them back, with a look of hesitating to speak.

"Is there anything else you can't tell me? In fact, there is one thing that I always find very strange. Why do you know that Lu Yonglin and others are the robbers in the jewelry robbery? You know, the police have been investigating this case for ten years. Find out a little clue, how do you know so clearly?"

When Yao Shun said these words, his eyes became a little sharper, and this question was what he really wanted to know when chatting with Shen Gang. In fact, from the moment he began to doubt Shen Gang, this question has been bothering him all the time. He, after capturing Shen Gang and confirming his identity as the real murderer, this problem became particularly prominent.

Although Shen Gang has pleaded guilty now, in Yaoshun's view, the most important and most important prerequisite for satisfying such a serial murder case is to know the identity of the robber in the robbery, but as he said just now , even the police have been investigating this for ten years without finding any clues. How did Shen Gang find out the identity of the robber?

Shen Gang frowned tightly, and rubbed his hands back and forth with his hands crossed together. It could be seen that his heart was very tangled at this time.

Yao and Shun can also see this, and it is not difficult to hear from the previous conversation with Shen Gang that he cares about his father very much, especially his father's reputation, which is sacred and inviolable to him, so he decided to Taking Shen Gang's father as an entry point, Shen Gang is induced to reveal the real "black hands" behind the case.

"You said that your father is innocent, but that is just your one-sided statement, which cannot be sufficient evidence. In court, the judge will never listen to your one-sided statement easily unless you can produce sufficient evidence to prove it. This point, otherwise, even if you admit to the crime of murder, you will not be able to clear your father's suspicion. After all, in terms of the robbery itself, except for the robbers who participated in the robbery, it is impossible for outsiders to know their true identities, but you But I am very clear about this. There is only one reason I can think of, that is, your father was indeed involved in the robbery. The reason why you knew the identity of the robber and the truth of the robbery, or your father told you Yours, or the robber was seen by you in the process of contacting your father, otherwise it is absolutely impossible for you to know the true identity of the robber."

"No, no, my father is not a robber, he did not participate in the robbery, he is innocent." Shen Gang exclaimed excitedly.

"As I said, your one-sided words are not convincing at all. If you say he is innocent, then show me convincing evidence."

"I……"

Shen Gang's words were on the verge of his mouth but he swallowed them back. He stared blankly at Yao Shun for a few seconds and then lowered his head. He crossed his hands and rubbed them vigorously, as if there was something he hated in his palms, and he wanted to crush it. Generally, the body trembles slightly due to the excessive force of the hands.

Yao and Shun saw that Shen Gang's psychological defense had been shaken, and now he had to put a little more pressure on him, so that his inner balance could be tilted towards frankness.

"Since you have been emphasizing that your father is innocent, how do you explain the doubt that you know the identity of the robber? If you can't explain this doubt clearly, even if I can believe you now, what about the judge? Those who once doubted What about your father's people? It's still the same sentence, it's useless to rely on your one-sided words, you must produce sufficient evidence. "

"I don't know, I don't know anything, don't ask, anyway, Lu Yonglin and the others are robbers, they killed my father, and I killed them in order to avenge my father, these are the truth, you are also broken Isn't that enough? Why do you still ask so many questions!" Shen Gang said in pain, holding his head in his hands.

"What I want is not just the result of solving a case. What I want is the truth, the truth of the whole case. If you want to prove your father's innocence, you must tell the truth. Only in this way can you help yourself, help to your father." Yao and Shun said solemnly.

"I am the murderer, and this is the truth of the case."

"Wrong, maybe even you don't know what the truth is!"

"what?"

Shen Gang raised his head and stared at Yao and Shun in surprise.

"Since I said that we now regard each other as friends, then I won't beat around the bush with you. If my guess is correct, the reason why you know the identities of Lu Yonglin and others and their participation in the robbery and killing your father Someone told you secretly, and the plan to kill them on Longtan Island was also instructed by someone behind your back, right?"

Hearing this, Shen Gang was dumbfounded, with an incredible expression on his face.

And Shen Gang's reaction made Yaoshun affirm his deduction, and he continued: "I don't know how the person who ordered you to do these things behind his back made you obey him obediently, but I can tell you that he is using you."

"No!" Shen Gang blurted out.

"I can also tell you that this person not only used you, he is also very likely to be related to all the cases, that is to say, he is also directly related to your father's death, and I suspect that he is the one responsible for the jewelry robbery that year The real murderer is behind the scenes."

"No, no, impossible, no, impossible."

Shen Gang shook his head desperately, obviously what Yao Shun said was something he had never heard or thought of before, and he couldn't accept it at all.

"Before the truth is found out, nothing is impossible. I can give you time to think about what I just said, if you really want to prove your father's innocence." Yao Shun said.

The interrogation room immediately fell silent. Shen Gang lowered his head and said nothing. Yao and Shun did not urge him. He knew that such a wait was necessary. Now that Shen Gang was struggling in his heart, he must give it to him at this time. Enough time to discern, to judge.

"The man claimed to be my father's friend."

About half an hour later, Shen finally broke the silence of the interrogation room just now, which also made Yao and Shun finally let go of his hanging heart. The real murderer hidden behind the scenes may be about to unveil his mysterious veil.

"Friend? What kind of friend? Is it male or female?" Yaoshun asked.

"He didn't say anything, just a friend. I don't know whether it's a man or a woman, because his voice on the phone is very strange, and I can't tell his gender at all."

"Then what did he tell you?"

"He said he knew that my father was wronged and who killed him. He said he got the news that those people will come back from other places in the near future and meet at Longtan Island. What should I do? Do you want to help me? Dad took revenge, let me think clearly, and he will contact me again. Two days later, he contacted me again and asked me if I had thought it through, and whether I wanted revenge. I really didn’t know what to do at the time Well, I told that person to call the police, but the person said that although he knew what those people did, he had no direct evidence of their crimes, because they were very cunning and had destroyed all of them ten years ago. There is no evidence against them, and it has been ten years since the incident. If there is no evidence, not only will there be no way to take them, but once you startle the snake and let them run away, you will never want to avenge my dad again gone."

"So in the end you chose not to call the police and started your own revenge. But I'm curious, why do you believe what that person said? Have you seen him? Or do you know him?"

"I have never seen that person, nor do I know him." Shen Gang shook his head.

"Then how do you know that the other party didn't lie to you?"

"That person not only told some things about my family, but also told me the whole process of the jewelry robbery. He even told me in detail how Lu Yonglin planned the whole case."

"The robbery planned by Lu Yonglin?"

"Well, the man said that because Lu Yonglin was short of money, he found Guo Peng, He Yaoyang, Gao Guangfa, and Gao Guangjin brothers to rob the jewelry store that was going to be auctioned, and then killed my father in order to get rid of the crime. Blame everything on him."

"Then you haven't thought about how he knew these things, and why he didn't tell the police back then, but told you today ten years later?"

"Well, I thought about it. I also asked him. He said that he is a private detective and is very good friends with my dad. After the robbery happened that year, my dad was suspected by the owner of the jewelry store and his colleagues. I asked him to help investigate the whole incident in private, hoping to prove my innocence. Although my dad suffered misfortune afterwards, he still continued to investigate in order to return my dad's innocence. Until recently, he finally found out the truth of the case , but it’s useless, because of the lack of evidence, the law has nothing to do with these beasts. Originally, he had already made a comprehensive plan and wanted to be a 'judge' himself to avenge my dad, but unfortunately he recently got out He lost his legs in a car accident, so he couldn't carry out his revenge plan, so he thought of me. After listening to all he said, I thought that even an outsider would help my dad like this. As him What can't my own son do? So I made up my mind to be the 'judge' and avenge my father with my own hands. Seeing that I finally made up my mind to take revenge, the man told me to wait for his call. Because if it was my revenge, he would have to redo the plan, and he said that he would contact me again when the plan was completed."

"Since he said that he and your father are very good friends, and he is also a private detective, in your impression, have you ever met or heard your father mention such a friend?"

"I also thought about it at the time, but I can't remember it. But I was young back then, and it was normal for me not to know what kind of friends my dad had, so I didn't ask any more."

"Just because of his simple words, you believe him. Don't you think you are a little too naive? Seriously, don't you think you are a little stupid?"

"He knows everything, and he said everything from the beginning to the end. I can't find any reason to doubt it. My dad is the pillar of our family, and he is also the person I have always been proud of. I will not allow him to be wronged , let alone stand idly by knowing the truth of his death."

Hearing this, Yao and Shun didn't know whether to blame or sympathize with Shen Gang. He felt sorry for Shen Gang's innocence, because his life was completely ruined because of his innocence.

While feeling emotional, Yao and Shun were also extremely angry. The real murderer behind the scenes used Shen Gang's innocence and his filial piety to his father to lure him into the game, and then ordered him to commit murder. This behavior is extremely shameless and despicable. He wished he could At this time, you can tear off the mask of the real murderer behind the scenes, and see what kind of cold-blooded and ruthless face is hidden behind the fake mask.

However, anger is anger. In order to find out the truth as soon as possible, Yao Shun did not show his anger, but continued to ask calmly: "After that, you launched your revenge according to the plan made by that person, didn't you?" ?”

Shen Gang nodded silently.

"Now tell me in detail about the revenge plan that man made."

Shen Gang nodded, and continued: "After I thought it over and decided to take revenge, I waited for that person to contact me again. About three days later, that person contacted me, and he said that he had made a foolproof plan. revenge plan."

"It's come to this point, haven't you ever thought about meeting this mysterious person?"

"Of course I have thought about it. To be honest, although he helped me sincerely, after all, I have never met him in person. I am really not at ease, so I asked him for his contact information, or he can It is okay to agree to meet with me, but he said that in order to avoid unnecessary complications, it is better to maintain a one-way connection. He said this is called a "faulty relationship". As long as we can maintain this relationship, the police will not be easily found Clues."

"and many more!"

Yao Shun suddenly interrupted Shen Gang's words, then frowned and asked, "You just said that the person told you that this is called a 'disconnected relationship'?"

"Yeah, he said so, what's the matter? Is there any problem?" Shen Gang asked suspiciously.

After Yaoshun paused for a moment, he said, "It's nothing, you can continue!"

"Since he said that he wanted to maintain a 'broken relationship', I didn't ask to meet him again. After that, he told me on the phone that he would arrange a treasure hunt on Longtan Island in the name of the treasure that was robbed that year. Jewelry "Qin Niangzi" was used as a bait to lure Lu Yonglin and the others into the bait. He said that on the one hand, this would allow Lu Yonglin to gather the robbers from the past on Longtan Island. Killing them on the island would be as easy as catching a turtle in a urn; Proving that everything he said is true, he said that because the robbed jade "Mrs. If Lu Yonglin and the others were really caught in the trap, it would prove that they were the robbers back then, and it also proved that everything he and I said was true and did not lie to me, but if Lu Yonglin and the others did not fall into the trap, then Prove that he lied to me, I can cancel the action at any time. Since he has planned everything like this, why should I not trust him! Then he asked me to change to a new mobile phone number and go buy some potassium cyanide and red wine, and kill those people by poisoning. He knew that I majored in acting, and that I was very handsome. With a little make-up, I could easily disguise myself as a man, so he asked me to do it first. Putting up a fake ID card for women, and then going to Longtan Island to prepare as a man. This is done to mislead the police, because once a homicide occurs, your police will definitely intervene in the investigation as soon as possible. As long as I According to his plan, your police will think that the murderer is a woman, so you can investigate in the wrong direction, and my identity will not be easily exposed. You should know the next thing, I will pretend to be a woman first , according to that person's request to meet Lu Yonglin, and then went to the beach with him, because there was no one there at noon, so it was convenient for me to start, and I pretended to be a woman and Lu Yonglin appeared there to deepen the impression of the people I saw .”

"But I'm very curious about one thing. Even if you are handsome and can dress up as a woman, what kind of identity did you use to approach Lu Yonglin?"

"This was arranged by that person. He told me to go see Lu Yonglin, and he said that it would be fine to know who leaked the secret of 'Miss Qin'. As for other things, let me adapt accordingly. Just drink a drink spiked with potassium cyanide."

"Why did you kill Guo Peng and others with red wine mixed with potassium cyanide, but Lu Yonglin used green tea?" Yao Shun asked curiously.
