Sure enough, as Han Jiang suspected at the beginning, this Pang Long came well prepared. He had even considered everything that Sun Li's family had to consider.
Sun Lizheng was worried about who to kill, so Pang Long took the initiative to make a list.
However, Xue Yuhong still has doubts about the authenticity of the list.
"Mr. Pang, where did you get these lists?"
"These are not things you have to consider. I have my network and personal resources, so it is not convenient for me to tell you. In short, you don't have to worry about killing good people by mistake. The people on the list will all die innocently."
"But if these people are really corrupt officials, what will be the consequences of killing them? Wouldn't the military intervene?"
"I'm here to look after you, so what do you have to be afraid of? Moreover, in a rural town, just a few people die, and the superiors won't take care of it. After all these people died, I got my money, and I Just find a scapegoat and let him act as a clown and die in Sun Li's place. After that, you can live peacefully."
"Can we think about it?" Xue Yuhong still felt that something was wrong with this matter, and there was an unspeakable worry in his heart.
"Forget it, if you are so hesitant, then cancel our agreement. As for whether the military will cause trouble for you, I don't know."
"Is this a threat?" Xue Yuhong asked unhappily.
"That's what you think. Anyway, if you don't cooperate, I won't be able to cooperate." Pang Long sighed deliberately.
"What if we kill you now?" Xue Yuhong was confident that as long as he and Sun Li joined forces, it would not be difficult to kill a quasi-company commander.
"If you wanted to kill, you would have done it long ago. In fact, you have no confidence, because since I am here this time, I must be fully prepared. If I don't return to the army within 12 hours, then we can only fight. ." Pang Long deliberately pretended to be helpless and smiled.
"That's enough, I'm willing to kill those corrupt officials." Sun Li suddenly shouted.
"Have you figured it out?" Pang Long turned around and asked.
"People must be killed. Instead of killing innocent people, it is better to kill those corrupt officials. As for you, since you want money, you will definitely not betray us."
"You're absolutely right. As long as you have value, I won't be willing to betray you."
"But I have one more request."
"Speak directly."
"When I finish killing the people on the list, please keep your promise, solve this case for us, and let us live a good life."
"That's natural. Not only will I solve everything, but I will also leave you 200,000, so that you can at least live a decent life." Pang Long said with a smile.
"Okay, it's settled."
"It's a deal."
After the deal was clear, Pang Long stopped staying and rushed back to the army as soon as possible.
In the living room, Xue Yuhong, Han Jiang, and Sun Li were thinking a lot. They didn't know whether they should believe Pang Long. All I know is that now there is no other choice but to kill.
The information recorded in the directory is very detailed, including where you work, your home address, how many relatives you have, etc.
Sun Li investigated their whereabouts during the day and took action at night.
Every day, Sun Li only killed one person, and every time he could get hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions, from the safe.
The police deployed their maximum police force and set up a task force to track down the clown. But they couldn't catch the clown, nor could they find out his true identity.
The clown's reputation grows every day, the town becomes frightened, and police officers from other towns join the task force.
On about the seventh day, a strange phenomenon actually appeared on the street. There were some homeless people and some disabled people holding signs in support of the clown. Some of these people have been persecuted by corrupt officials, and some have been treated unfairly, and what the clown has done is a great pleasure to them.
The police couldn't catch the clown, but they were more than capable of dealing with the homeless man. They beat homeless people mercilessly, burned signs of support, and even killed people. A disabled girl was hit by a stray bullet and died.
But no one took responsibility, just like the girl's life was not worthy of anyone taking responsibility.
Is it just right for police to kill people? Or is it that the status of disabled people is too low and they have no human rights?
Fortunately, a reporter happened to be present at the time. He took pictures of what happened, compiled it into a report that day, and posted it online.
The news of the police killing spread across the Internet instantly, but miraculously, the news was blocked in just half a day.
The next day, the reporter was fired and blacklisted. In other words, he can no longer hold a normal job. There are only two choices waiting for him. One is to enter the mine and become a miner. This can be life-threatening at any time, because there are all kinds of insect creatures underground, and some are extremely toxic. The other option is to become a homeless person, surviving by begging and digging through trash cans.
Tramps generally don't have enough to eat and are often skinny, but because the new humans have stronger vitality, although they live in pain, at least they won't die.
This reporter once had a friend who was also blacklisted and later went to work in a mine. As a result, he was assigned to the depths of the mine to explore new veins. The deeper the mine, the more mineral veins, but also the more strange creatures. So in just a few days, he was eaten alive by a millipede.
It can be said that if you go to a mine, your so-called human rights will be completely deprived. When he dies, no one buries him, and no one pays attention to him.
In comparison, homeless people are safer. But this is only a relative term, because homeless people are actually untouchables, no different from beggars. Tramps are often beaten to death, but as long as they give them some money, the killer will be safe.
Rural areas are where the most homeless people live. Because people who are persecuted in urban areas will be homeless in rural towns. After all, there are rich plant resources here, at least you can not starve to death.
Some homeless people accept the injustice of this world and live quietly as slaves. Some homeless people can't accept it. They want to escape, but they can never get over the huge city wall. They are locked up here, never to see the light of day again.
As for this reporter, he couldn't accept it, but he couldn't resist. He was completely despairing, but he still had a glimmer of hope.
That night, he put on a clown mask and ran on the streets.
"Bang bang bang..."
He was shot to death by police indiscriminately, and there were countless bloody holes in his body.
The next day, the police released the news that the clown was dead.
The town suddenly exploded. Some people were happy, while others were sad. Happy people are mostly wealthy people. People who are miserable are mostly poor people.
Another day passed, and earth-shattering news broke out in the town. The police chief of the small town died. He died on the street. His feet were beaten to shattered bones when he died.
Obviously, this is to pay tribute to the disabled girl who died.
It was the clown. Everyone said it was the clown who did it. The clown was not dead at all.
That day, almost all the homeless people from the surrounding towns gathered in the town. They held signs to support the clown.
The incarnation of ugliness, the clown. It suddenly transformed into the hope of poor people.
The homeless people risk their lives holding signs to support the clown. Because they firmly believe that as long as they hold up the sign, the clowns will see it.
This demonstration reached an unprecedented level, with as many as 100,000 people participating. It was that day that people realized that there were so many homeless people in the countryside, and it was the first time that they were so united.
The local police station was no longer able to use force to suppress the incident, so they reported it to their superiors. The county magistrate found out about the incident and called the Peicheng Military Aircraft Department.
The Peicheng Military Aircraft Department is the agency unit that connects officials and the military. In layman's terms, this is the medium through which civilian officials and military attachés contact each other. When something cannot be solved by civilian officials, they can contact the Military Aircraft Division and ask the military to intervene.
But for some reason, the county magistrate hung up the phone a few seconds after the call was placed.
The county magistrate hesitated again and again and made a call using his personal mobile phone. The note on this phone number was: Mr. Pang Long.
In the early hours of the morning, there was another knock on the door at Xue Yuhong's home.
Xue Yuhong woke up and woke up Sun Li because he still had winter vacation. The three of them went downstairs and opened the door.
Sure enough, the person who opened the door was the mysterious guest who visited ten days ago, Pang Long.
Pang Long was still wearing a black trench coat and a black top hat, and he always had a weird smile on his face.
"How are you guys?" Pang Long bowed to the three of them.
"You don't need to talk about anything else, just get straight to the point." Xue Yuhong said simply.
"Very well, then the first question is, how much money have you collected?"
"About 9 million." Sun Li replied.
"Nine million? Why is there one million less? Do you want to keep it all to yourself?"
"No, it's because I couldn't find the safes belonging to two people." Sun Li explained.
"really?"
"If I lie to you, I will die badly." Sun Li said excitedly.
"Forget it, I believe you are. Then the second question, I only gave a list of nine people, why did ten people die?"
Faced with Pang Long's questioning, the three of them fell silent, and no one spoke.
"What's wrong? Why don't you speak?" Pang Long asked again.
"Okay, I'll confess. A lot of things happened during this period. First, the police suppressed vulnerable groups. A disabled girl was shot dead, and then someone was beaten to death by the police. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I secretly killed the police chief. , and threw his body into the street." Sun Li replied.
"Hahaha, interesting, so interesting. Mr. Sun Li, may I ask you, what is a clown?"
"What? What is a clown? I don't understand."
"The clown is supposed to be the embodiment of evil, but you turned the clown into the embodiment of justice?"
"No, I know this is not justice, it is just a cry for injustice in the world." Sun Li replied.
"It's interesting. A gray man actually complained for mankind. It's really interesting." Pang Long let out a strange laugh again.
Xue Yuhong, Han Jiang, and Sun Li were so shocked that their eyes widened.
Why did Pang Long know that Sun Li was a gray man? Why?
