Han Bin took out another file. "What about Jiang Huawen? How did he die? "
"It's similar to Li Yuan's. He was electrocuted with a stun baton and then killed."
"Weren't you at work that day?"
"I took advantage of my lunch break to rush to Gaocheng to kill him."
Han Bin habitually twirled his pen. "Be more specific."
"Yesterday afternoon, I called a taxi in advance. After I got off work at twelve, I took the taxi to Gaocheng. I arrived in about forty minutes and found Jiang Huawen's house."
"I scouted the area and knew Jiang Huawen's specific address. I called his house door and electrocuted him. Then, I tied him up with rope, opened the gas tank, and took away his watch. "
"After that, I took a taxi back to the Water Conservancy Bureau. You should already know what happened next."
Hong Xin's description of the case this time was obviously not as detailed as the murder of Li Yuan. Moreover, she did not mention any clues about moving Jiang Huawen to the bedroom. At the same time, Zhao Chunlian went home to cook at noon and left the house around one o 'clock.
According to Hong Xin, it was impossible to arrive at the Jiang family's house around twelve forty.
Hong Xin was lying. As for the purpose of lying, it was most likely to be a cover for her accomplice.
Han Bin did not expose her and continued to ask, "Why did you kill Li Yuan and Jiang Huawen?"
"They deserved to die."
"Why did they deserve to die?"
"They were ungrateful. Chen Shaoyan saved them, but not only did they not repay his kindness, but they were also wary of the Chen family. It's so disappointing," Hong Xin said.
"Your reason won't convince me," Han Bin said.
Hong Xin snorted. "Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Han Bin stretched out two fingers. "I'll give you two choices now. First, tell me the case honestly. Second, I'll investigate it myself. I believe this matter must be related to your daughter's death. "
Hong Xin sighed. "If I tell you the truth, will you stop bothering me and mentioning my daughter?"
Han Bin said sincerely, "I know you don't want to think about it, but as a police officer, I have the obligation to investigate this matter. As long as you tell me the truth, I won't deliberately heal your scars."
Hong Xin was silent for a long time. "I'll only say this once. Don't ever mention this to me again."
"As long as you don't lie," Han Bin said.
Hong Xin took a deep breath and muttered, "I'm already like this. What's the point of lying?"
"Actually, I've been feeling guilty towards Chen Shaoyan for the past ten years. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have died. In a sense, I'm the same as Li Yuan and Jiang Han. In fact, I'm even worse than them."
"Back then, Chen Shaoyan and I had a date by the river. I was still very young and had just started working. I was full of vigor and vitality. That was our third date, and I could tell that Chen Shaoyan really liked me. "
"I have a good impression of him. He's a middle school teacher. He's quite honest, has a stable job, and comes from a local family. He's doing well in all aspects. If things were to develop normally, we might even get married. "
"That day, he asked me out to play. I suggested that we go for a walk by the river. The weather was good that day, and there was a light breeze. I wore a beige dress, and he even complimented me on how beautiful the dress was. Suddenly, the two of us heard a cry for help. We ran over and saw that two children had fallen into the river."
"At that time, Chen Shaoyan didn't plan to jump into the river to save them. Instead, he stood by the side and shouted for help." Hong Xin closed her eyes as if she was trying hard to recall the past.
Twelve years ago, Gao City, by the Moon River.
Two children fell into the river. A young man and a young woman stood by the bank. It was Hong Xin and Chen Shaoyan when they were young.
The young Hong Xin looked anxious and asked Chen Shaoyan, "Do you know how to swim?"
Chen Shaoyan hesitated for a moment. "I do."
Hong Xin urged, "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go down to save them!"
Chen Shaoyan revealed a conflicted expression. He looked at the children in the river and then at Hong Xin. He didn't want to go down, but he was afraid that the girl beside him would be disappointed.
He really liked this girl and didn't want to give her the impression that he was a coward.
Hong Xin stomped her feet anxiously and pushed Chen Shaoyan. "Don't just stand there. These two children are about to drown. How pitiful."
Chen Shaoyan sighed. He still didn't want the girl beside him to be disappointed. He clenched his teeth and jumped into the river. However, being able to swim was one thing and saving people was another.
Just as Chen Shaoyan approached Li Yuan, who had fallen into the water, the other party grabbed onto Chen Shaoyan like an octopus. One of Chen Shaoyan's arms was grabbed and it became very difficult for him to swim. He shouted loudly, but Li Yuan was only eleven years old at that time. She was already terrified and could only hold onto Chen Shaoyan tightly.
Chen Shaoyan pushed the girl to the bank with great difficulty.
Hong Xin took the girl and pointed at Jiang Han in the river. "Over there, the little boy is about to be washed away!"
Chen Shaoyan didn't even have time to catch his breath before he swam into the river again.
When he was halfway there, he was already regretting it. Why did he try to be brave? He could have avoided this kind of danger. Was it worth it to take such a big risk for a woman?
What if he died? Who would take care of his parents? Should he swim back?
Chen Shaoyan had the thought of retreating, but he didn't have the courage to face Hong Xin's disappointed gaze. He clenched his teeth and continued to swim towards Jiang Han. However, he felt that his limbs were getting heavier.
Jiang Han was the same as Li Yuan. In fact, he was hugging Chen Shaoyan even tighter than Li Yuan. Chen Shaoyan felt like he was about to suffocate. He used all his strength to swim to the river with Jiang Han. Jiang Han was saved by Hong Xin.
At that moment, Chen Shaoyan was completely exhausted. A rapid current rushed over and he was washed away by the river. He couldn't float anymore.
Seeing this scene, Hong Xin was dumbfounded. She shouted anxiously, "Chen Shaoyan, Chen Shaoyan!"
Hong Xin, who was in the interrogation room, also shouted. The two figures seemed to overlap.
The roar interrupted her memory. Hong Xin opened her eyes and cried.
"At that time, I was wondering why this man was so irresponsible. He knew how to swim, but he didn't save the children when they fell into the river. I was even a little disappointed in him.
"Chen Shaoyan was afraid that I would be disappointed. He went into the river to save them because of me. He saved the two primary school students and drowned himself.
"At that time … I was dumbfounded. I didn't expect this to happen. What made me even more dumbfounded was that after the parents of the two primary school students came, they didn't say a word of thanks. They just left with the children. My heart sank.
"Why did this happen? Did I do something wrong?
"Later, Chen Shaoyan's parents came as well. His parents' sorrowful expressions and heart-wrenching cries were something I will never forget. I was afraid. I was afraid that they would blame me. I didn't dare to go over to comfort them. I left as well.
"I knew what I did was wrong, but I didn't know what to do. I was still young at that time. I couldn't handle that kind of situation. I couldn't understand how Chen Shaoyan died so easily. He knew how to swim …"
Hong Xin began to cry, but the expression on her face softened. She no longer had the hostility from before.
Han Bin picked up the tissue on the table and handed it to her.
"You should know what happened next. I became a hero who acted bravely for a just cause. I was praised by my unit and encouraged by my colleagues, but I still couldn't get over the hurdle in my heart. I knew very well that if it wasn't for me, Chen Shaoyan wouldn't have jumped into the river to save people, and he wouldn't have died. I was the one who harmed him.
"I seized an opportunity and was transferred from Gao City to the city. I met my husband, and my work and life went smoothly. I tried to forget what happened in Gao City and Chen Shaoyan's death. After that, my daughter was born. That was the best period of my life.
"For my husband, for my daughter, I wanted to live a good life. I tried my best to forget everything in Gao City. I cut myself off from everything in Gao City. I was really happy during that time." Hong Xin was crying and laughing at the same time. It was a very strange sight to behold.
"Until three years ago, when someone ruined my life!"
I remember very clearly. That day, I was riding my scooter to pick up my daughter from school. We were driving normally, but a car ran the red light and hit my scooter. My daughter was seriously injured … In the end, I couldn't save her. "
Hong Xin's eyes were red. "Later, I found out that the driver was drunk driving. He was a murderer. He killed my daughter."
"Where is the driver now?"
"Hehe, where is he? He's at home, living his life as if nothing had happened. He's the one who deserves to die. "
"Didn't he go to jail for killing someone while drunk driving?"
"No, the police let him go!" Hong Xin shouted.
"Why did they let him go?"
Hong Xin laughed coldly and asked, "Why? I want to know why too. You're a police officer too. Why don't you tell me the reason? "
Han Bin made a note in his notebook. "What does this have to do with you killing Li Yuan and Jiang Han?"
"This incident dealt a huge blow to me. Since then, my imagination has been running wild. I thought about Gao City and the dead Chen Shaoyan. It was as if all my misfortune started from that moment. "
"My mind was filled with thoughts. If I hadn't made Chen Shaoyan jump into the river that year, perhaps none of this would have happened, and I wouldn't be in so much pain now. I felt that this was karma from God."
"In the summer of 2018, which was the anniversary of Chen Shaoyan's death, I went to Moon River again, to the place where Chen Shaoyan died. I wanted to go there and take a look. I also wanted to jump in and end everything. I owed Chen Shaoyan my life.
"When I got there, I thought of many things. Just as I wanted to jump in and end the moment, I saw an old woman. She was very old, very thin, and it was difficult for her to walk. She stood by the river like me, at the place where Chen Shaoyan fell into the water.
"I was shocked. I recognized her. She was Chen Shaoyan's mother, Cai Jing. She looked at least ten years older than her actual age. My first thought was to run away. I didn't dare face her like I did back then. "
"Girl, are you Shaoyan's girlfriend?"
…
"I slowly turned around and realized that Cai Jing was staring at me."
"I didn't expect her to remember."
"I wanted to run, but I couldn't move my legs."
"The two of us chatted. At first, I was filled with guilt toward her. She didn't treat me as an outsider and still treated me as Chen Shaoyan's girlfriend. She told me a lot, saying that she missed Chen Shaoyan and couldn't wait to see him now."
"As we chatted, I realized that my feelings for her weren't pity but empathy. Yes, we've all had the experience of a white-haired person sending off a black-haired person. Her today is my tomorrow. "
"Cai Jing's husband and son were both dead. She had no one to take care of her. I felt pity for her. I wanted to take care of her. I treated her as my future self. I don't know if it was out of pity or self-pity."
"For the past two years, I've been taking care of Cai Jing. We have too many similarities, and some of her emotions have affected me. When I was packing her things, I found that she had a diary. She wrote many ways to kill people. "
"She wanted to kill Jiang Han and Li Yuan."
"At first, I was scared. I asked her if she was going to kill them."
"She cried and said that she had wanted to take revenge for a long time, but she hadn't done anything. She hated herself for being weak …"
"Then, something happened to her body and she couldn't take revenge anymore. She was really pitiful. She didn't even have the ability to take revenge. I felt that I might end up like her in the future …"
"I want to take revenge. I want to take revenge for her and for myself …"
Han Bin took the opportunity to ask, "Who's your enemy?"
Hong Xin looked like she was possessed. Her expression was ferocious. "It's the b * stard who killed my daughter. He must die a horrible death!"
Han Bin asked coldly, "What's your husband thinking? Does he know about this? "
"My husband loves his daughter the most. He wants to cut that person into pieces!"
Han Bin raised his eyebrows and guessed, "Just now, you lied to the police to buy time for your husband to take revenge for your daughter?"
