"That's not a reason to kill." Han Bin snorted.
"We didn't want to kill. Just like you said, this is a test. Peng Yongren wanted to join our brotherhood. He took the initiative to accept the test. His death has nothing to do with us." Ren Xiaofeng argued.
"How many people are in your brotherhood?"
Ren Xiaofeng hesitated for a moment: "Five."
"Who?"
"Me, Wu Minzhong, Chen Zikuan, Tao Ronghai …" Ren Xiaofeng wanted to say something but stopped.
"Who's the other person?"
"Dao Zhongwen."
"You said Dao Zhongwen is also in the brotherhood?" Zhao Ying was a little surprised.
She gave Dao Zhongwen a statement and he also provided her with clues about Zhou Yuetong. Now it seemed that he was deliberately diverting the police's investigation.
"Yes." Ren Xiaofeng nodded with a look of longing:
"The brotherhood would rather go without than substandard. Those who can join are first-class talents. All of them have a bright future and are loyal. We hope to form a big family. Everyone helps each other, supports each other, uses each other's resources and relationships to go further."
"Who founded the brotherhood?"
"Me." Ren Xiaofeng answered very straightforwardly and faintly with some pride.
"Everyone needs to pass the mosquito punishment test to join the brotherhood?" Han Bin asked.
"No, everyone's test is different. It's arranged according to the actual situation."
"Why did you arrange the mosquito punishment for Peng Yongren?"
"I said that the brotherhood would rather go without than substandard. Everyone who wants to join the brotherhood needs to go through a review, family background, study, specialty, and past experience. Peng Yongren told me about his past experience and mentioned that he used the mosquito punishment on a classmate in junior high school. I thought it was quite interesting, so I set the mosquito punishment as his entry test." Ren Xiaofeng explained.
"Since you heard that he bullied his classmate in junior high school, why did you still agree to let him join the brotherhood?" Han Bin frowned.
"This society is the law of the jungle. The brotherhood doesn't need the weak. Otherwise, it would be better to change its name to the fraternity. The purpose of our brotherhood is to unite the strong. There are many societies like ours in the US. This is the future trend of the university." Ren Xiaofeng said slowly.
"Where did you get all this nonsense from?"
"The United States. The United States is the most powerful country in the world. There are many similar organizations," Ren Xiaofeng said with a look of longing.
Han Bin shook his head. "You don't want to learn the good stuff, but learn these messy things."
"I can only say that you guys are out." Ren Xiaofeng refused to admit defeat.
“OUT。”
Zhao Ying sneered, "If we learn from the American police, people like you might be shot before they even get into the station."
Han Bin got to the point. "How did Peng Yongren die?"
"His test is to be tied to a tree and receive the mosquito punishment, and the time of the test is from five in the afternoon to eight in the evening. After these three hours, he will be considered to have passed, and he can join the Brothers." Ren Xiaofeng sighed and looked a little anxious, as if he didn't want to remember. "Can you give me another cigarette?"
Han Bin handed him a cigarette.
"Thank you." Ren Xiaofeng took a puff and organized his words.
"We tied him to the tree, covered his mouth, and went back to the dormitory to drink. Originally, we planned to let him go at eight o 'clock, but everyone got drunk and completely forgot about it."
"Did you go to the forest to check?" Han Bin asked.
"No, we all drank too much. When we woke up, our heads were dizzy. It was already nine o 'clock the next day. When we remembered Peng Yongren, the news of someone dying in the forest had already spread. At that time, the few of us were scared." Ren Xiaofeng sobbed in a low voice.
"We didn't think that it would be like this. We didn't want to kill him. It was just a test, just a prank. All the foreign organizations are like this, why did it have to be us …"
Han Bin interrupted him and said, "Describe the detailed process of your crime."
"Wu Minzhong and Chen Zikuan were responsible for tying him up, Tao Ronghai was responsible for keeping watch, and Dao Zhongwen put a towel in his mouth. We did it for the test. We really didn't want to hurt him." Ren Xiaofeng took two deep puffs of his cigarette.
"Since you described it so clearly, you should be at the scene, right? What were you doing?" Han Bin asked.
"I … I was filming."
"You filmed the situation at that time?" Han Bin was a little surprised.
Ren Xiaofeng shook his head at first, then nodded. "I said it was a test, a prank. We just thought it was fun. It would be very meaningful to show it later. I didn't expect it to be like this."
"What did you use to film it?"
Ren Xiaofeng pursed his lips and said, "My phone."
"Thank you. This time we can save ourselves a lot of trouble. We even have evidence." Zhao Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Comrade police, this is really an accident. We are still students. Can you let us go this time?" Ren Xiaofeng begged for mercy.
"You are already an adult, so you should be responsible for your own actions. Besides, how to convict is the court's business. We are only responsible for arresting people." Han Bin said.
…
After Ren Xiaofeng confessed, Dao Zhongwen, Wu Minzhong, Chen Zikuan, and Tao Ronghai were also arrested. The four of them were interrogated separately. Coupled with the video Ren Xiaofeng filmed, the evidence for this case was very sufficient.
The next day, the Criminal Investigation Team Three rushed to Qingdao University to identify the scene.
Peng Yongren's parents and relatives also went there. They cried and made a lot of noise. They even wanted to break through the police's blockade and beat up Ren Xiaofeng and the others, but they were pulled away by the police.
Han Bin found Peng Yongren's ex-girlfriend Zhou Yuetong in the crowd. Her expression was very complicated. It was hard to tell whether she was happy or sad.
Speaking of Peng Yongren's death, many people had a certain connection.
Zhou Yuetong directly returned the house without informing Peng Yongren and took the rent as her own. Peng Yongren had no money and didn't want to return the house, so he asked Ren Xiaofeng to borrow money.
In fact, Peng Yongren had long wanted to join the Brothers Group, but after knowing that his test was the mosquito punishment, Peng Yongren was a little timid. This time, Ren Xiaofeng didn't lend him money. The reason for refusing was that he didn't join the Brothers Group.
Therefore, Peng Yongren contacted Zhang Bochao and asked about the risk of being bitten by mosquitoes. As a result, Zhang Bochao was very humiliated and found two colleagues to beat Peng Yongren.
Peng Yongren had never suffered such a loss, especially being beaten by people he had bullied before. He couldn't swallow this anger. He couldn't beat them alone, so he was even more determined to join the Brothers Group.
As long as he joined the Brothers Group, he would have money and brothers.
No one could bully him!
He would take revenge!
Peng Yongren accepted the test, but he didn't pass the test. Instead, he died.
The members of the Brothers Group would go to jail because of his death.
There would be no more Brothers Group in the university.
