Chapter 75 Rashomon (1)

The moment he turned on the computer, Chen Mingming suddenly felt that there might be a pair of eyes behind him... it was observing his every move.

Just like when he was facing the boss in the shop that day, 'watching' everything that Zhao Le and Dong Shaofeng experienced, it was also like the boss showed the power of 'God' in front of his eyes. Vision.

He may also be part of that boss's perspective.

Chen Mingming believed that his feeling was not wrong. If it were him, if he wanted to assess a person, he would probably spare no effort to observe things like what he was observing at the moment.

Now that it has been concluded that ‘Kuang Jun’ and himself have the same identity, it is not impossible that something will be left behind based on his own behavior and habits.

Maybe I keep these not because I know that I may forget them one day, but because I feel it is necessary to do so...

Finding the file was not as difficult as imagined. It was not hidden in any complicated root directory... On the d drive, Chen Mingming found this folder instantly on December 1st.

There were only two video files... In chronological order, Chen Mingming clicked on the first video file.

The moment the first video file was opened, a white wall appeared instantly... The camera was shaking slightly, and it seemed that the person who shot the video was adjusting the direction of the camera.

Finally, the shaking stopped, and then a figure slowly walked into the camera, sat down, and faced the camera. Chen Mingming and the person in the video were looking at each other.

He couldn't see the appearance of the person in the lens, he could only see the other person's eyes... because the person in the lens was wearing a full-covering white mask.

The man wearing the mask sat quietly like this. After a while, 'he' moved and reached out to the camera. Finally, the camera closed and the video ended.

However, in the short thirty-second video, there was no sound, only the image of 'him' sitting calmly looking at the camera.

Although 'he' was wearing a mask, Chen Mingming could feel it, like looking into a mirror... The person wearing the mask was himself.

The next moment, Chen Mingming opened the second video in chronological order.

The first thing that appeared in the camera this time was a dim staircase. Going up... Chen Mingming held his breath a little. This should be the corridor of the old building where Wang Liang's rental house belonged.

Still no sound... The time shown in the video is 8:23 pm.

Finally, the camera stopped in front of Wang Liang's rental house.

After entering the door, the camera flickered... It was a scene of 'him' taking off his shoes in front of the door, and then 'him' walked into the living room step by step.

There was no freezer in the living room at this time, and Wang Liang was lying on the sofa without any movement.

'He' walked up to Wang Liang and poked the other man's neck. After a while, he took back his hand.

Finally, the video recording tools were placed on the table, and only the front of the camera could be seen. 'He' dragged Wang Liang into the bathroom.

Time passed little by little, and the timer on the camera jumped second by second.

Finally, 'he' walked out of the bathroom, and there was even a lot of blood on 'his' clothes. 'He' walked into the bathroom again carrying a large travel bag. This was something that 'he' had brought with him before arriving.

When 'he' came from the bathroom again, he was still holding a big bag in his hand.

'He' slowly left the room, and did not go downstairs to leave. He just walked one level online and directed the camera to the door of Wang Liang's rental house.

The police have conducted an on-site inspection and found that the floor above is already on the rooftop, so it seems that 'he' will always stay here and no one will come down from above.

Finally, after a long wait, another figure slowly came to the door of Wang Liang's house... He seemed to be hesitating. After hesitation, he finally reached out and pushed the door, and the door was easily pushed open. This was Zhao Le. .

After more than half an hour, Zhao Le left in a panic.

"I really wish I could hide here."

That was a processed sound, and the 'him' in front of the camera pointed at the travel bag he brought out.

"If you are lucky enough to find him, then he will be the only clue I leave for you. He will tell you my existence, whether it is for himself or his sister, he will not hide me... But even so , you will never find me."

"The truth will always be hidden in silence...and it will be watched silently in a place where you will never find it."

…

The truth will always be hidden in silence.

The video had stopped long ago, stopping at the last second, but these words rang in Chen Mingming's mind again and again.

After a long time, Chen Mingming smiled in relief and put his hands down from the table.

With his eyes closed, he looked up at the pure white ceiling... He didn't recall anything in his mind, but he could easily understand everything he did in the camera and why.

"Do you want to forget this and start over from the beginning to see if I will make the same choice again..." Chen Mingming murmured to himself: "Is this... the real test question?"

There was still no one else in the room except him.

But he seemed to already know the answer.

It wasn't until dawn that Chen Mingming packed up his things and left, "There are still... twelve hours."

…

Chen Mingming returned to Zhou Yusheng's home and brought back some breakfast. Zhou Yusheng and his wife fell asleep hugging each other on the sofa last night.

The two of them woke up one after another in the middle of the night, thinking that Chen Mingming had returned to the room and not disturbing them. At this time, Chen Mingming's mother had just woken up and was preparing breakfast.

"Why did you run down to buy breakfast?"

"Going for a run." Chen Mingming smiled slightly... He found that he seemed to have very few smiles left for his mother. Except for those past photos, there were almost none in recent years in his life.

"Well, okay, I'll call your dad." Mother was in a good mood.

Chen Mingming said, "I'll go shout."

There were not many times when he asked his father to get up.

…

…

There was another exclamation, followed by a banging noise, and soon after, the sound of a door closing.

Nan Xiaonan then walked out fully dressed.

On the table, Luo Qiu has prepared breakfast, and the portion is much richer than yesterday... Nan Xiaonan's heart skipped a beat. It seems that the impression of "eating a large amount" has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

"Miss Ren, are you in such a hurry every morning?"

Nan Xiaonan sat down and asked curiously.

Luo Qiu was reading the newspaper and had wanted to read it for a while.

"Absolutely." Luo Qiu smiled slightly.

Nan Xiaonan did not start eating immediately, but said: "There are still two big chapters to be written, and I should be able to finish it tonight."

"Thank you." Luo Qiu nodded, "Miss Nan, eat slowly, I have something else to do."

After folding the newspaper and placing it on the magazine rack, Luo Qiu disappeared from Nan Xiaonan's face after saying hello to Nan Xiaonan again.

Only then did the atmosphere of restraint and uneasiness disappear... Nan Xiaonan slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and then she was in the mood to eat the prepared breakfast.

Maybe he also knew that if he stayed there, he wouldn't be able to let go no matter what... Nan Xiaonan shook his head, took a piece of toasted bread, and started to spread jam.

The moment he unscrewed the jam bottle, the sweet aroma of jam instantly hit Nan Xiaonan's nose.

"Is this...karov fruit jam?"

Nan Xiaonan was stunned, feeling an inexplicable joy in her heart... But after the joy, she was even more surprised. It might be an accident once, but to be able to take out these things from her former hometown one after another is already unimaginable.

Her hometown has long since collapsed, civilization is no longer there, and everything has turned into dust...

After eating breakfast for a long time, Nan Xiaonan reluctantly returned to the room.

The reason why he worked so hard to shorten the time he originally planned to write the plan was naturally because he was afraid. He didn't know whether his involvement in the corpse dismemberment case would affect what Mr. Luo originally wanted to do.

"Hey, why is he so nice to me?"

…

…

Second arraignment.

Zhao Le seemed to have adapted to the environment of this dark and small interrogation room. He sat down very calmly and waited for the person who was about to interrogate him.

But this time it was not Zhou Yusheng who was waiting, but Lin Feng, Zhou Yusheng and Ma Houde, including Chen Mingming and a group of colleagues, who were watching the situation in the interrogation room on the other side.

Zhao Le was quite surprised to see Lin Feng's appearance... Separated from other police officers, Lin Feng was considered an 'acquaintance' to Zhao Le.

He could see from Lin Feng's eyes that it was Sir Lin who was looking regretfully. At this time, he still cheered up and began to ask questions one by one about his confession yesterday.

"Why do you think this 'Blank Lord' wants to help you get revenge?" Lin Feng stared at Zhao Le, "According to the information you exchanged, it seems that you and 'Blank Lord' have known each other for nearly a year. You should treat him Do you understand something?"

Zhao Leping said: "Officer Lin, do you think what a person says on the Internet is true or false?"

Lin Feng frowned slightly, "There are many virtual things on the Internet, but sometimes, they can better express a person's true self. Because you don't have to worry about who the other person is and you can completely hide your real identity, so you don't have to worry about anything and you can go as much as you want. be yourself."

Zhao Le was silent for a moment and said: "As far as I know, Mr. Blank is a very pessimistic person... but that is limited to his identity as Mr. Blank. You should have studied the content of the conversation between us for such a long time. Right? 'Blank-kun' has discussed the topic of death with me several times..."

Zhao Le paused and seemed to be recalling: "It said that only the dead can live forever and live in the memories of others."

Lin Feng said: "So, you think he is a pessimist?"

Zhao Le nodded.

Lin Feng said: "Not counting the time when this case started, you have known each other for a long time... I see that your communication seems to be very lively, so why don't you meet in real life?"

Zhao Ledao: "Officer, if you met someone online, and the other person chatted with you very well, and even felt like a soulmate, would you... choose to know who the other person is really like? Would you be afraid? , the real other person, and the other person you know, are two different people?"

Lin Feng shook his head helplessly. Zhao Le's explanation was not unreasonable, but very reasonable because many people really only met online but never planned to meet. There are many such examples.

Another police officer sitting next to Lin Feng suddenly said in a deep voice: "Zhao Le, since you said that 'Kong Kong' and you are soul confidants, then why did you confess him so easily? This is not Explain, is your so-called friendship very cheap?"

"I was just making an analogy, and I didn't say it was my soul confidant." Zhao Le said calmly.

The fellow police officer said coldly: "In order to avenge you, 'Kong Kong' personally planned this case, and even ran away to make it look like Wu Rong and Wang Liang were still alive. I think he really took you." He is considered a good friend, but he must not have imagined that you would expose him without hesitation as soon as something happened. He must be very angry, right? Wouldn't this feel like an inhumane trust? "

Zhao Le's expression changed slightly.

He and Sir Lin once went to Zhao Le's home together and monitored Zhao Le together. Sir Lin even robbed him of three hundred yuan and gave it to Zhang Xiaoqin... He originally admired the kindness of Zhao Le, but at this time he didn't know. Why is there resentment in my heart?

These words were already too much, and Lin Feng couldn't help but lightly kick the other person under the table.

Zhao Le took a deep breath and stared at the two people in front of him, "Then, I should accept everything and even admit that I am the murderer. In your opinion, this is what I should do, right?"

"Oh, are you admitting that you are the murderer?"

Zhao Le sneered: "Officer, I think you should go back to school to review some cross-examination techniques."

"You..." The colleague slammed the table and his eyes widened.

At this time, Ma Houde's voice sounded in the interrogation room. Ma Sir's voice was a little deep, "Old Wang, pay attention to yourself!"

At the same time, he took a deep breath and sat down again.

The interrogation room fell into silence for a while.

In the room on the other side, everyone shook their heads helplessly, knowing that if they continued the interrogation now, they would not get any useful information, so they had no choice but to send Zhao Le back to the detention room first.

"I see that this guy looks different before and after him. He must be telling lies! I don't believe his nonsense!" A colleague named Lao Wang snorted coldly at this time.

"We handle cases based on evidence, not subjective guesses." Zhou Yusheng said calmly at this time: "Don't bring personal emotions into the case."

Lao Wang was silent at this time.

Everyone began to re-study the case... As for the tracing of 'Blank Lord', they have only found the owner of the online forum server, but they have not yet contacted him... If they can't find the person, they can only consider using Use some illegal means to invade the other party's server.

"I think finding Zhao Le to confess so quickly is actually the wisest choice."

A female colleague said slowly at this time: "If you think about it, he is actually right. The reason why he has been hiding it is because he has not been discovered yet, so he has a sense of luck. But once the matter is exposed, what will he do? It would be really stupid not to say anything. If he even takes over everything, he would be really wrong... After all, he still has a lifetime to live, and there is a sister at home who needs to be taken care of. According to what we know about Zhao Le, he cares about his relatives very much, so when choosing between 'Blank Lord' and his sister, he will obviously prefer the latter."

"But there is still a blank about the murderer." Sir Ma shook his head and said, "You can't just rely on Zhao Le's words... Oops, I will lose more than ten pounds after this case!"

Everyone smiled, but Zhou Yusheng knew that Lao Ma was doing this to change the atmosphere... At this point, he considered himself inferior to him.

"By the way, where's Mingming? Why don't you see him?" Zhou Yusheng looked around and found that Chen Mingming was missing, so he immediately asked his colleagues around him.

"Oh, he said he would go home and get something and he would be back later."

Zhou Yusheng nodded and did not continue to ask.

But not long after, Zhou Yusheng's phone rang... He looked down and found that it was Chen Mingming's cell phone. After a moment of confusion, he picked up the call.

"Police Officer Zhou, hello."

"Who are you!!"

In just an instant, Zhou Yusheng stood upright on the table like an angry tiger. This roar instantly shocked the guys in the conference room.

Ma Houde opened his mouth to ask, but saw Zhou Yusheng make a silent gesture, then put the phone on speakerphone, turned the volume to the maximum, and put the phone on the table with a solemn expression.

"...Officer Zhou, Chen Mingming is in my hands now."

The next second, Zhou Yusheng received an email. It was a photo. In the photo, Chen Mingming had his head lowered, his mouth was sealed with a cloth, and he was tied to an iron pillar. Looking at the background, it seemed to be a workshop or something like that. .

"Who are you!" Zhou Yusheng's face was ashen and his tone was cold.

"Aren't you looking for me now?"

"Are you the 'Blank King'?" Zhou Yusheng trembled and blurted out.

"I give you two hours. After two hours, I hope you can bring Zhao Le to see me. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee the safety of Officer Zhou and Master Ling."

"You want to see Zhao Le! Why!"

"Why...of course it was to avoid the imperfect part. Everything I did was perfect, but why was he seen? I have a very accurate vision, but Zhao Le still confessed me Now... this won't work, it really won't work, this plan won't be perfect. Since he betrayed me, of course I won't keep him... I helped him complete his revenge because I felt sorry for him, and now it's It's time for him to pay interest. Remember, you only have two hours."

"Impossible! You are showing contempt for..." Zhou Yusheng's roar was not finished, but the phone had already been turned off.

Zhou Yusheng called back again. The phone was turned off, but before the other party's phone was turned off, he received a text message with an address on it.

"How is it?" Sir Ma asked quickly.

"No... the time is too short and the source of the signal cannot be traced." The colleague shook his head, looking helpless.

"Old Zhou?" Ma Houde looked at Zhou Yusheng at this time.

Zhou Yusheng's face was pale, he sat down, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth and said: "We can't send Zhao Le out..."
