This was a rectangular, spacious room. Above his head, a cold white light shone down diagonally, converging on the white projection curtain.
Beside the curtain stood a middle-aged man with a straight back. He was wearing a neatly ironed police uniform. His hair was short, and he looked very capable. His eyes were especially sharp and glaring as he stared at the projection. His gaze seemed to pierce through the curtain and penetrate into something solid.
"Chu Binwen, male, Han Chinese, 41 years old, citizen of our country. He is the chairman of our city's Rongli Co., Ltd. The legal person of Chiyu New Technology Company."
The projection was a picture of a middle-aged man with a thin face standing at a press conference. He had neatly combed short hair and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He had a tall nose bridge and a faint smile on his thin lips.
Just from the picture alone, this person had an amiable, elegant, and harmless temperament. However, from the serious expressions of the police officers and provincial leaders sitting in the row below, it was enough to show that this public image could only be a disguise of the man named Chu Binwen.
"Don't talk about these things on the surface. Tell us something we don't know." An official from the provincial confidential department, whose face looked like he had swallowed a fly, interrupted. He could not imagine how an outstanding entrepreneur in the province had turned into a vicious criminal who was even registered in the Interpol.
"Chu Binwen is also the biggest shareholder behind Zhou Yao Group. He is the real owner of Rejuvenation Shipping Logistics Company. At the same time, he is also the actual owner of Defu Logistics and Jie Shi Logistics. In other words, the biggest logistics companies in our province and the surrounding three provinces all belong to one person.
"On the surface, this is just a way of operating capital. However, in the dark, this is indeed the camouflage of the biggest armed smuggling group in our country and Southeast Asia."
A few police officers distributed thick stacks of information to the leaders below. This information was collected, confirmed, and verified by the local and international police over the past five years.
The information was printed on A4 paper. The first page was a photo made of glue. At the same time, the picture on the projector was also switched. It was the side profile of a man in military uniform sitting in an armed off-road vehicle.
He had a head of black hair and a smile at the corner of his mouth. It could be vaguely recognized that Chu Binwen was the same person, but overall, he gave off a ruthless and fierce aura.
"Jiang Wanyin, the son of a fisherman in our country's coastal area. He followed his father out to sea at the age of 14 and survived a shipwreck. He drifted to the beach of Hong Kong and was rescued by a smuggler (human trafficker) and sold to the black market in Southeast Asia to fight. He was beaten blind in one eye but managed to survive in the end. With his ferocity and tenacity, he was chosen by the local drug lord Balor and was brought back to Rain Camp. Four years later, Jiang was adopted by Balor at the age of 18...... and he gradually took over Balor's power and two teams...
Four years later, he was ambitious and developed his power. With his cold and cunning methods, he became one of the biggest drug lords in Southeast Asia. He was targeted by the international police and was nicknamed General. Then, he gradually disappeared from everyone's sight. At the age of 29, he personally directed an assassination and faked his death to escape back to China.
"The international police once thought that General was dead and Rain Camp's power was destroyed. That was until five years ago when they discovered a smuggling group in Southeast Asia nicknamed Ghostface. Their organization was well-planned and their criminal methods were clever and hidden. After a long investigation, they finally confirmed that General was not dead but had faked his death to escape back to China. He had been remotely controlling Rain Camp's power and secretly developing it."
"So, Chu Binwen is Jiang Wanyin?" the low voice asked.
"Yes, we didn't realize it at first. After all, the difference in their identities was too great. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were worlds apart. Moreover, according to the intelligence, one was blind while the other had perfect vision. It wasn't until two years ago that we started investigating all the patients who had undergone eye transplant surgery in China in the past ten years that Chu Binwen gradually came into our sights. Let's not talk about the difficulties and twists and turns in the process, but now we can be 100% sure that General, Ghostface, Chu Binwen, and Jiang Wanyin are the same person."
"Hiss …" There was the sound of a sharp intake of breath. Then, an official slammed the documents on the table to vent his anger. "Then, how did a drug lord and a smuggler become a successful entrepreneur?"
"The upgrade of criminal methods, the combination of money and force, a more subtle way of committing crimes, more efficient methods, using threats, lures, bribes, murder, creating accidents, and a series of meticulous criminal ideas about human nature, as well as a group of criminals who were bewitched and brainwashed. They used all means possible to trade, infiltrate, and steal. If it weren't for the accidental discovery of Chu Binwen, I'm afraid we wouldn't have known that such a terrifying evil force had been hiding in our province all this time to stir up trouble."
….
The scene changed to the interrogation room of the city's First Prison. In a cold and cramped environment, an iron chair was connected to shackles and shackles. Chu Binwen's eyes were deeply sunken, and his face was pale. He opened his eyes and looked at the police officer who pushed open the iron door. In that instant, the eyes revealed no pretense. They were calm and cold.
"Officer Hong, we meet again!" His hoarse voice was filled with exhaustion. Chu Binwen licked his dry lips, as if he was meeting an old friend.
"Your sentence has been handed down." Officer Hong paused for a moment. She wanted to see a look of fear on his face. Unfortunately, she was disappointed.
"Death penalty!" she said to him.
"Of course!" Chu Binwen replied.
"You're not going to appeal?"
"If you win, you take it all. If you lose, you have to admit it. This is the rule!"
"Rules? You're not qualified to talk about rules. How many laws have you broken? How many people have you caused to die an unnatural death? How many people have you caused to break up their families? You … "Officer Hong looked at the other party's indifferent face and appeared to be very angry and agitated.
"Officer Hong, you're too agitated. This is not good. After all, this may be the last time we talk." Chu Binwen's voice was still calm, calm to the point of indifference.
"Huh … Yes, this is the last time we talk. Your execution date is tomorrow." Officer Hong opened the verdict and presented it in front of Chu Binwen. She asked the most puzzling question in her heart, "Why did you choose me to talk to you?"
"As expected, it seems that many people want me to die early." Chu Binwen sneered, then withdrew the meaningless ridicule in his heart and stared at Officer Hong seriously. "Sorry, I was a little distracted. Oh, you said why I chose you. Because I'm going to die. I'll feel better if I find someone pleasing to talk to and admit my guilt … Well, your eyebrows and eyes are very similar to my mother's. She was a kind and weak woman."
Officer Hong was stunned. She exhaled a long breath and looked at Chu Binwen again. Her eyes unconsciously softened a little.
"To answer your question just now, whether bathed in the sun or in the dark world, there are rules and restrictions. The difference is that they abandoned the light and chose to embrace the darkness, and I happen to have a little ability to make rules in the dark." Chu Binwen blinked his sore eyelids. "I never forced others to make a choice. Those who came to me were following their own desires, and I just made a fair exchange. They got what they wanted, and when I needed help, they should give back their friendship. And those who were my enemies, I never chose them, but they chose to be my enemy because of greed, jealousy, and stupidity. They mistakenly thought that I was a lamb to be slaughtered, but in the end, they found out that I was the fiercest one, so I sent them to the place where they should go."
Chu Binwen wanted to spread his hands, but he realized that his hands were firmly handcuffed. So when he spread out his palms, he gave people a sense of pride that he was still holding the center of the world. "And now, I lost, so I'm sitting here, waiting for death to come!"
She didn't know how to refute Chu Binwen. She felt that it was sophistry, so she fell silent and then asked, "You don't have the slightest bit of remorse?"
"Remorse?" Chu Binwen laughed. The corners of his mouth widened, and his laughter became louder and louder, more and more impudent.
"Officer Hong, let me tell you a secret. Your investigation missed a part of the beginning, the details of how my father and I met with an accident at sea. It was a fisherman's fishing boat, the kind that was made of wood, similar to a sailboat … It was lost on the waves. There was no water, no food, and it had been four days. Do you know the feeling of hunger? It was as if your flesh and blood were burning, and every cell in your body was eating your soul. It would draw out the greatest evil in your heart, turning you into a naked beast." Chu Binwen stopped, his eyes bloodshot.
She was so frightened that she took a step back. She was terrified. "You ate your father?"
"Heh ~" Chu Binwen's eyes regained their cold calmness, and his voice was indifferent like a piece of ice that would never melt. "He wanted to eat me, so I struggled, resisted, and finally killed him. Then, I used his corpse to attract a school of fish. In the end, I ate the fish, and he was buried in the belly of the fish."
"… …"
Yarlin suddenly opened his eyes. He stared blankly at the top of his head, his blue pupils reflecting the darkness. After a long time, he straightened his body from the shaking bed. Once again, he felt the unfamiliar and fresh flesh body, and a suppressed and sinister laughter came from his throat. "Hehe … Hehehehe …"
