Chapter 74: Feng Family Massacre (End) The Truth Revealed

Yuan Xiaohu still didn't understand, so Sang Luo explained, "Do you remember what the security guard we met at Sunshine Primary School that day looked like?"

Yuan Xiaohu nodded: "Of course I remember."

Sang Luo said: "I asked someone to simulate what Zheng Tianhao would look like after plastic surgery. I always thought he looked familiar, as if I had seen him somewhere before. Now I finally remembered that the security guard we met that day was most likely Zheng Tianhao after plastic surgery!"

Hearing her say this, Yuan Xiaohu slammed the steering wheel, turned the car around, stepped on the accelerator, and drove rapidly towards Sunshine Primary School.

The two drove to Sunshine Primary School. Ma Shi Tu's car was parked at the school gate. It seemed that they had also arrived. Sang Luo first glanced at the guard room. There was no one in the guard room. Then the two walked into the teaching building and found that the teaching building was particularly quiet today. There was not even the sound of reading. Sang Luo felt something was wrong and took Yuan Xiaohu out of the teaching building. The two went around to the playground at the back and saw that a large group of people had gathered on the playground.

It turned out that the first place Ma Shi Tu and Xie Ling'er investigated was Sunshine Primary School. They went directly to the principal, explained their purpose, and asked the principal to find all male faculty and staff over the age of 50. The principal was very cooperative and immediately notified all faculty and staff.

After the message was passed on, Zheng Tianhao in the guard room also got the news. When he heard that the police were looking for men over 50 years old, he guessed that the police were coming for him. He knew that he could not escape this time, so he simply took the risk and kidnapped a child as a hostage.

When Sang Luo and the others arrived at the playground, they saw Zheng Tianhao hiding in the corner of the playground, holding a sharp fruit knife in his left hand and a child of seven or eight years old in his right hand. The child was a little girl with pigtails and was thin and small. Zheng Tianhao put the knife against her neck. Policemen and other employees were surrounding outside, and everyone wanted to save the child.

The little girl burst into tears. Ma Shi Tu patiently persuaded Zheng Tianhao: "Don't act rashly. We can discuss any request. Put the child down first. The child is innocent."

Zheng Tianhao cursed loudly, and then said, "Do you think I will really believe you? I let this child go, and then what, will you let me go? Stop fooling me, I'm not a three-year-old child!"

Ma Shi Tu raised his finger: "I promise here that I will definitely meet your request, as long as you don't hurt the child. Tell me, what are your conditions?"

Zheng Tianhao's eyes turned red as he looked at the crowd in despair. He knew very well that he couldn't escape today. He gritted his teeth and said:

"Let Zheng Qiankun come out. I want to kill that bastard!"

All the teachers turned their heads and looked at the new male teacher. The male teacher was puzzled at first, then walked out of the crowd:

"You are... my father?"

After the Feng family massacre, the survivor Zheng Qiankun was adopted by a kind-hearted person in the village. This family paid for Zheng Qiankun's schooling. Zheng Qiankun later passed the examination for a technical secondary school and became an elementary school Chinese teacher. The school he joined was Sunshine Elementary School.

Both Sang Luo and Yuan Xiaohu recognized that this was the man who put the scarf on Xu Jingye that day, and he was suspected to be her boyfriend.

Zheng Tianhao spat, "Bah! Don't call me dad, I find your dad disgusting! You bastard, your mother had an affair with someone else and gave birth to you. Your existence is a disgrace to our Zheng family. As long as you are still alive in this world, I will not be able to close my eyes. I must kill you to protect the dignity of our Zheng family!"

When the incident happened, Zheng Qiankun was only two years old. Although he himself had no memory of it, he had grown up in the village over the years and had heard the adults talk about what happened back then, so he had a general impression of it. After hearing what Zheng Tianhao said, Zheng Qiankun sneered and said:

"Oh, same here. It's a shame for me to have a father like you. You are a wanted criminal. As long as you are not caught, I will not be able to live in peace. For so many years, I have been hoping that you would be shot!"

Zheng Tianhao was furious after hearing this and pointed a knife at the child's face: "If you say that again, let her pay for your life!"

The little girl screamed in fear. For the safety of the hostages, Zheng Qiankun stopped talking. Ma Shi Tu stepped forward and advised:

"Zheng Tianhao, I am the police officer who handled your case back then. Please listen to my advice. My colleagues and I have thoroughly investigated the interpersonal relationships around you. Your friend Xiao Ziqiang personally admitted that he deliberately spread rumors in order to sow discord between you and your wife. The rumors about your wife Feng Meiyu cheating on him never happened. He made them up."

Zheng Tianhao spat on the ground: "Bah! Do you think I will believe you? You came here today to catch me. As long as you can catch me, you can say any sweet words. I tell you, stop talking nonsense here and let Zheng Qiankun come over to exchange for this little girl in my hand, otherwise there will be no discussion!"

Zheng Qiankun hesitated for a moment, took a few steps forward, and prepared to go over to exchange. Although he knew that the man in front of him wanted to kill him, as a teacher, he could not leave the child alone.

Ma Shi Tu stretched out his hand to stop Zheng Qiankun from passing. Once Zheng Qiankun was in Zheng Tianhao's hands, the situation would be out of control. Ma Shi Tu broke out in a thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead. The current situation was very difficult to deal with. No matter which path he took, there would be risks.

It would be great if Xiaohu were here, he thought to himself. After all, he was old and his physical strength had declined. If Yuan Xiaohu were here, he would be more alert and there might be other possibilities.

Thinking of this, Ma Shi Tu looked behind him and actually saw Yuan Xiaohu was really in the crowd. The two looked at each other tacitly without saying anything. Yuan Xiaohu already had an action plan in his mind.

Seeing that Zheng Qiankun had not come yet, Zheng Tianhao became dissatisfied and threatened the police with the child again: "What are you doing? You are so slow. I think you really don't want this child to die. Well, let me send this child to his death!"

Before he could make a move, a clear female voice came from the crowd. It was Xu Jingye who stood up and pleaded:

"I'm this child's teacher. Can I switch with her? I'm willing to switch with her!"

Zheng Tianhao waved his hands impatiently: "Go away, what does this have to do with you? Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here? Get out of here!"

Xu Jingye begged, "Please let this child go. Her parents are working in other places. Only her grandmother is at home to take care of her. Besides, their family..."

Zheng Tianhao glared at her fiercely: "What the hell are you talking about? I don't want to listen at all. I've already said that unless you let Zheng Qiankun come over, there is no room for negotiation!"

Zheng Qiankun gritted his teeth and prepared to go over to exchange. At this moment, Sang Luo suddenly rushed out of the crowd, grabbed Zheng Qiankun's sleeve, and shouted at him:

"Qian Kun, you can't go over there! I already have your child. If something happens to you, what should I do?"

The crowd suddenly became lively, and everyone looked at Zheng Qiankun with a look of curiosity. They all knew that Zheng Qiankun was an unmarried young man who didn't even have a girlfriend, but he actually got another woman pregnant. This was really immoral.

Zheng Qiankun was also confused. He shook off Sang Luo's hand and said, "What are you talking about? I don't even know you!"

Sang Luo grabbed his hand relentlessly: "You ungrateful man! Liar! You just broke up with me yesterday, and today you say you don't recognize me? Have you forgotten what you said when you tricked me into bed? You said you would be responsible for me and take care of me for the rest of my life! Well, now that you know I'm pregnant, you're going to turn your back on me!"

Zheng Qiankun was extremely confused. He touched the back of his head and said helplessly, "I really don't know you. I've never even met you. Did you find the wrong person?"

Seeing this scene, Zheng Tianhao also showed a look of watching melon on his face. At the moment when he was distracted, Yuan Xiaohu rushed out from the crowd and kicked Zheng Tianhao in the face, knocking him to the ground. Then Yuan Xiaohu pressed his whole body on him, grabbed his hands tightly, and arrested him on the spot.

Zheng Tianhao was a man with a strong desire for revenge. Just when Yuan Xiaohu was about to take him away, he suddenly jumped up and opened his mouth to bite Yuan Xiaohu's cheek. Yuan Xiaohu blocked it with his arm. Zheng Tianhao bit Yuan Xiaohu's hand and refused to let go. Ma Shi Tu stepped forward and choked his throat, and he reluctantly let go. Yuan Xiaohu raised his hand and saw a deep blood mark on his arm.

He looked at Zheng Tianhao with disdain: "How can this guy bite so hard? Could he be a dog? Don't bite me to rabies again!"

Ma Shi Tu and Xie Ling'er took Zheng Tianhao into the police car. Yuan Xiaohu was taken to the school infirmary by the principal to have his wound treated simply. Sang Luo also went with him. The school doctor disinfected him with alcohol, then used a cotton swab to stop the bleeding, and finally wrapped the wound with gauze.

After bandaging, Yuan Xiaohu walked out of the school clinic and saw Xu Jingye standing at the door. Yuan Xiaohu smiled at her, and Xu Jingye also smiled shyly. She took the initiative to ask:

"Xiaohu, are you okay with your injury?"

Yuan Xiaohu was stunned for a moment: "It's okay, but how do you know my name?"

Xu Jingye opened his mouth, but ended up being speechless.

The two of them just sat there in silence, with the atmosphere feeling suspiciously ambiguous. Sang Luo immediately tactfully left, leaving them some space to be alone together.

They chatted for a long time in front of the school infirmary that day, until the sun set. According to Yuan Xiaohu, Xu Jingye told him that day that she saw his information on the employee information board at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau. On the rainy day when they first met, Yuan Xiaohu was wearing a police uniform, so Xu Jingye knew that he was a policeman, and then followed the clues and found out his name.

It turned out that they had been doing the same thing all along. Both of them were secretly inquiring about each other and trying every means to figure out each other's thoughts, but no one dared to speak, which was why the misunderstanding had lasted for so long.

After hearing this, Sang Luo pondered and said, "So, this is a two-way secret love?"

Yuan Xiaohu nodded excitedly: "Yes, you are really good at describing it! Jingye said that she fell in love with me on that rainy day, and so did I! We are really destined to be together, it's simply a match made in heaven!"

"Then...what happened that night? Why did Zheng Qiankun make her put a scarf on her?" Sang Luo asked.

Yuan Xiaohu waved his hands and said, "It's just a misunderstanding. The scarf was not knitted by Zheng Qiankun, but by a student's parent. Jingye has been giving free tutoring to children, and one of the parents was very grateful to her and took the time to knit a scarf for her. When the scarf was given to her, she happened to be in class, so she gave it to Zheng Qiankun for safekeeping. After Zheng Qiankun got off work, he remembered this incident and gave the scarf to Jingye."

Sang Luo nodded: "So that's how it is, but the way I look at Zheng Qiankun is a little..."

"You guessed it right. Zheng Qiankun is really interested in Jingye. In fact, he wrote a love letter to Jingye, but Jingye rejected it because she already has me in her heart!" Yuan Xiaohu said proudly, "Jingye said that she doesn't like men who are too literary. She likes strong men like me!"

"Congratulations!"

Sang Luo looked at his happy appearance and thought of Ruan Yu's figure, and suddenly felt a little sour in her heart.

————

After bringing Zheng Tianhao back to the bureau, Team Three conducted a lengthy interrogation of him. Zheng Tianhao initially tried to remain stubborn, insisting that he was not Zheng Tianhao and that he kidnapped the child on a whim. The case at that time had nothing to do with him. After all, his appearance had changed, and he thought the police couldn't do anything to him.

Ma Shi Tu gave him some basic knowledge about DNA identification technology. As long as they collected his blood sample and did a paternity test with Zheng Qiankun, they could confirm that he was Zheng Qiankun's biological father, Zheng Tianhao.

Zheng Tianhao didn't care at all: "Even if there is such a damn technology as you said, what can it do? Zheng Qiankun is a bastard, born from his mother's affair with someone else. There is no parent-child relationship between him and me, no, he and Zheng Tianhao!"

Ma Shi Tu did not argue with him. He directly collected blood samples from both of them and sent them to the city for identification. The next day, the identification results came out and the report showed that Zheng Tianhao was Zheng Qiankun's biological father.

Seeing the report, Zheng Tianhao cried and laughed. He repeatedly asked Ma Shi Tu: "You lied to me, didn't you? You forged this report just to pry open my mouth. Zheng Qiankun can't be my biological child. It's impossible!"

Ma Shi Tu looked at him sadly: "You actually know everything in your heart. Zheng Qiankun is your biological son. Feng Meiyu has never cheated on her. The second baby in her belly is also your child. It is you who misunderstood them. It is you who killed so many people and ruined the lives of so many people. You know it yourself, but you dare not face it."

Zheng Tianhao hid his head behind the identification results, and the expression on his face changed again and again. After a few minutes, he suddenly stood up from the chair and rushed to the wall next to him, wanting to hit the wall and commit suicide. He was stopped by Yuan Xiaohu. The master and apprentice held him firmly. He shouted in despair:

"Don't stop me! Let me die, let me die!"

Zheng Tianhao was emotionally unstable and had to be detained temporarily. During this period, people in the team took turns to persuade him. After a few days, Zheng Tianhao's mind finally changed and he began to be willing to cooperate with the police investigation. This time, Captain Liao personally presided over the trial, and he wanted to find out the truth of that year.

In the interrogation room, Captain Liao and Xie Ling'er were in charge of the interrogation, Ma Shi Tu avoided it, Sang Luo took notes on the side, and Yuan Xiaohu stood behind Zheng Tianhao, ready to guard against him doing anything tricky at any time.

Zheng Tianhao confessed everything that happened that year. He was soon discovered after the murder. The villagers called the police, and the police came to take him away. The two police officers were relatively young. Zheng Tianhao came up with an idea. He pretended to be faint at first and let the police officers carry him. When they reached the top of the mountain, he ambushed the police officers and gave himself a chance to escape.

After he escaped, he hid in the mountains for two days. After the storm passed, he came down the mountain and found a relative in the county town. The relative helped him break the handcuffs open and gave him some money. He took the money and boarded a train heading south, getting off in any city along the way.

After getting off the bus, he found a black intermediary, who asked him to replace the identity of a dead person. This person was called Mo Suhe. He had committed suicide some time ago and his family had not yet gone to get a death certificate. In this way, Zheng Tianhao became Mo Suhe and officially stayed in the north.

Then he started to set up a stall to sell his handmade northern snacks. The snacks were very popular and he saved a lot of money. He used the money to go to a small clinic for plastic surgery, which made him look completely different and more like Mo Suhe. He always had an obsession in his heart, which was to return to Baiyun County and kill Zheng Qiankun, the bastard, so that he could get rid of the anger in his heart.

Before he could implement his plan, an accident happened and the police found him. It turned out that Mo Suhe was also a wanted criminal. He had intentionally injured someone and seriously injured him.

The real Mo Suhe had committed suicide out of fear of crime, but the police did not know this. Zheng Tianhao in front of them looked like Mo Suhe and had replaced Mo Suhe's identity, so the police put Zheng Tianhao in jail.

Zheng Tianhao was helpless. He could not admit that he was not Mo Suhe. If he did, his old case might be dug up and he would be sentenced to death. So he had to go to jail in Mo Suhe's place, and he stayed there for more than 20 years.

Zheng Tianhao was only recently released from prison. The first thing he did after being released from prison was to return to Baiyun County. He hired someone to go back to Mopan Village to inquire and learned that Zheng Qiankun had been adopted and was now working at Sunshine Primary School. So he bribed the security guard of Sunshine Primary School, forced the old security guard to be laid off, and became the new security guard.

He monitored Zheng Qiankun entering and leaving the school every day, and wanted to attack Zheng Qiankun when he was alone. Because he was old and his physical strength was not as good as before, if Zheng Qiankun had a companion, he might not be able to beat two people.

Zheng Tianhao monitored Zheng Qiankun for two months, but never found any time when he was alone. After Zheng Qiankun joined the company, he had been pursuing Xu Jingye, so he always went to and from get off work with Xu Jingye. Zheng Tianhao never found an opportunity to take action.

It was not until the police entered the school to investigate that he realized he had no time left, so he took the risk and kidnapped the child.

During the interrogation, Captain Liao asked again and again about the details of Sullivan's fall from the cliff, and Zheng Tianhao also told it over and over again. The process was exactly the same as what Ma Shi Tu said. At that time, Sullivan lost his balance and fell off the cliff. Ma Shi Tu tried to save him, and Zheng Tianhao took this opportunity to run away.

After listening to it several times, Captain Liao's frown finally relaxed. He showed a relieved smile, and tears flashed in his eyes like melting ice and snow.

At that time, Ma Shi Tu also sighed in the office. After so many years, the suspicion of him by his good brothers and the rumors about him within the police force were finally all dispelled.

He stood up and looked at the sky outside the window. A beam of sunlight penetrated the haze and shone straight down onto his face.
