Because I was rushing, and because I might have looked a little nervous at the time, Ma Tao asked me when he gave me the car keys: "What happened? I think you don't look right."
I originally wanted to tell him, but when I thought about it, he had to go to the company to be busy. Telling him now would probably affect his mentality.
"It's nothing, I just need to get out of the car. Go ahead and do your work."
Ma Tao didn't ask much, just said to call him in time if anything happened.
Soon I drove to the cellar.
By the time they got there, Liu Hui and Lei Zhen had been tied up by Lao Hei and thrown into the house. As for Hou Weidong, Lao Hei said they were in the cellar. He had just gone in and had a look, and the man was indeed dead.
When he was talking to me, the stench from Lao Hei's body kept getting into my nose. He said it was so smelly inside that he stunk himself after staying there for two or three minutes.
I said I would go in and take a look, and he handed me a flashlight: "I won't go in, it's too smelly."
I drilled into the corn stalks with a flashlight, and then opened the manhole cover. The two fences inside were open at this time.
When I drilled inside, the stench was really harsh on my eyes. My eyes felt really sore and I couldn't help but shed tears, but I couldn't care less at this time.
Hou Weidong's body was lying face up in the deepest part of the cellar. He might not have been dead for too long, and the rotten smell of the body could not be smelled at this time. I originally wanted to kick him twice. , to see if he was dead, but after thinking about it, he forgot about it.
If I kicked him a few times and left any evidence on his body, I would be in trouble. If the incident were investigated by the police, I wouldn't be able to clean it up even if I jumped into the Yellow River.
After I was sure that Hou Weidong was dead, I went to the cellar.
"How do people die?" I asked Lao Hei.
Lao Hei shook his head and said, "I don't know. They said he suddenly died when he woke up in the morning. It has nothing to do with them."
"This morning?"
"Yeah, but I think they lied, because when I was able to open a cellar, Liu Hui and Lei Zhen wanted to work together to control me. After that, I knocked Lei Zhen down with one punch. They didn't tell me that Hou Weidong was dead at first. After hearing this, I yelled inside for a long time, but there was no movement from him. I thought that this guy might be hiding in there and wanted to plot against me, so I went in to take a look, and found that the person was dead. When they saw that I knew about it, they told me I died suddenly this morning."
According to Lao Hei, I also suspected that the two of them killed Hou Weidong.
Perhaps because he saw that I was a little nervous, Lao Hei patted me on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, don't be nervous, it's just one person. Before, we planned to kill all three of them, but now they helped us kill one. That’s a good thing too.”
I smiled and said, "To be honest, I'm a little nervous. I was quite relaxed when I said I was going to kill them. But now that it's come to this point, I still feel different. It's the same as chopping off someone's fingers and breaking someone's leg bones. It’s different.”
"Yes, I was nervous when I called you, but after having sex with Liu Hui just now, the nervousness basically dissipated."
"What a fool!" I couldn't help but curse: "At this damn time, do you still have the intention to do this with Liu Hui?"
"There is nothing I can do. In order to relieve the tension, and I am a person who will be nervous for a long time. Liu Hui cries and calls her dad because it stinks so damn much. This nose suffers a lot."
I said stop talking about these irrelevant things and go in and ask the two of them first.
Before going in, I turned on the recording function on my phone. I had to record some evidence. If something happens in the future, this evidence might be of great help to us.
When I entered the room, Liu Hui and Lei Zhen were huddled in the corner, whispering something. When they saw me coming in, they looked very nervous.
They probably thought Hou Weidong was dead, and I might kill them to silence him.
Liu Hui also immediately begged for mercy: "Zhang Yang, Hou Weidong's death has nothing to do with us. He really died by himself. If I lied to you, I would be thunderstruck."
Lei Zhen also quickly said something similar.
Before I came in, I had already thought about how to trick them.
I said: "It's useless to tell me whether you killed the person or not. You'd better tell the police. I originally thought of tying the three of you here, locking you up for a while and then letting you go. But you Save a life for me, now I'm scared and don't dare to lock you up anymore, I plan to call the police."
With that said, I motioned to Lao Hei to go out and call the police.
When Lao Hei turned around and was about to leave, Lei Zhen and Liu Hui looked panicked, and they called out to Lao Hei in unison.
Lei Zhen said: "Don't call the police, don't call the police. Although we didn't kill the person, your father's incident was related to us. We will still be dead by then. Please let us go. We are willing to give you a sum of money." Then the two of us smuggled abroad from Yunnan and never returned to China, okay? Just think that your father was killed by Hou Weidong back then, and he was the culprit, and he has paid for it now, okay?"
I cursed: "Then you think I'm a fucking fool. Now someone is killed. If I don't call the police, if you are caught in the future and accuse me of killing someone, who am I going to talk to?" You, Liu Hui, have a criminal record and are very good at slandering people, so I have to call the police. Now if I call the police, I will be charged with illegal detention at most. If I find some connections, I can solve it with some money, and you two will be sentenced to death directly. , also to avenge my father."
"We will not slander you!" Liu Hui said anxiously.
"I don't believe your nonsense."
Liu Hui looked at Lei Zhen, and she probably understood that she couldn't let Hou Weidong die. She simply admitted at this time: "Oh, let me tell you the truth, we did kill him, can't I admit it now? ? It won’t be your fault anyway.”
At this time, Lei Zhen scolded Liu Hui angrily: "What the hell are you doing now? Didn't we agree not to admit it?"
"Is it okay not to admit it? Hou Weidong's neck is full of strangulation marks. He was obviously strangled to death. He also scratched several times on our arms. There must be our skin tissue between his fingernails. As long as Zhang Yang calls the police , we are all screwed!"
"He certainly wouldn't dare call the police!"
"Don't dare? He didn't kill anyone. He just locked us up for a few days at most. Why don't we dare to call the police? Besides, if he doesn't call the police, we will be screwed. Not calling the police means that he will never stop doing anything. Kill us and silence us."
"Then what do you mean, if we don't, we will all die anyway?"
"So now there is only one way, which is to beg him to spare us. If he wants to know anything, we can tell him directly and give him what he wants. Life or death depends on his mood."
After Liu Hui said this, she looked at me again, her eyes full of prayer.
I couldn't help but clap my hands and applaud Liu Hui: "Liu Hui, you are still the best. You know everything like Ming Jing."
Liu Hui smiled bitterly: "Please Zhang Yang, we will give you as much as you want, just think of it as buying our own dog's life, okay? Just let us smuggle out of the country."
"Tell me first, how people are killed and why you want to kill them." I asked.
