Chapter 26 Chapter 26 A New Life Free from the Evil Spirit

Chapter 26

"Cui Liang, is that you?"

Qin Ye asked.

Cui Liang couldn't remember how long it had been since he last heard anyone call him by his real name.

His whole body trembled, and his originally pale face turned even more bloodless. He tried to run, but Yu Cheng grabbed his shoulders and he couldn't move.

Qin Ye sighed, stood up from the small bench, walked to Cui Liang, lowered his eyes and met the thin boy's gaze: "Cui Liang, Cui Shu and Wu Xiangming admitted to our police that they killed Cui Kexing, and they are willing to take full responsibility for their actions."

When she finished speaking, Cui Liang was stunned.

He stopped trying to break free from Yu Cheng's restraints and repeated Qin Ye's words in a daze: "They admitted that they killed Cui Kexing? No, no! That's not the case."

Cui Liang raised his index finger and poked his chest, tears in his eyes, eager to prove the innocence of Cui Shu and Wu Xiangming: "It was me, I killed people, not them. Really, I killed people."

Why is everything different from what the three of them had agreed upon?

Didn’t my sister and Wu Xiangming have an agreement with him? Will provide the police with evidence that he killed Cui Kexing.

But why did the police officer in front of me say that my sister and Wu Xiangming had already pleaded guilty?

Cui Liang realized that his sister and Wu Xiangming had taken the blame for him, so he stopped resisting and obediently followed Qin Ye and Yu Cheng back to the Provincial Public Security Bureau.

…

Provincial Public Security Bureau, Murong is on duty tonight.

When he saw Yu Cheng appear in the Public Security Bureau compound, his first reaction was panic. In the middle of the night, why did Yu Cheng come to the bureau with his barber tool box? Would he want to sneak into the police dog camp in the middle of the night and secretly cut the dogs' hair? ! !

Murong's alarm bells suddenly rang. He stood up and was about to run out to stop them, only to see Qin Ye following behind Yu Cheng.

Walking between Qin Ye and Yu Cheng was a thin young man who looked very much like Cui Shu who was already detained in the detention room.

Murong pushed open the door and three people came in one after another. The light shone on their faces, and his guess in his heart was vaguely confirmed: "Public Security Qin, Forensic Doctor Yu, have you caught Cui Liang?"

Isn’t this ability of action too amazing?

Qin Ye silently glanced at the barber tool box in Yu Cheng's hand, secretly marveling at her and Yu Cheng's good luck this time.

She also didn't expect that when she asked Yu Cheng to go with her to the train station to follow, she would happen to meet Cui Liang, who was planning to escape from Jinhai by the last train tonight.

Qin Ye took over from Murong and held the door of the hall with his legs. He waited until Cui Liang, who was walking at the back, completely entered the hall before releasing his legs: "Murong Public Security, please take him to the interrogation room. I'll be there soon."

Murong nodded, took Cui Liang and left the hall directly towards the interrogation room.

…

Qin Ye watched the two disappear at the end of the corridor before he looked up and expressed his sincere gratitude to Yu Cheng: "Comrade Yu Cheng, thank you for your help tonight."

"You really want to thank me?"

Hearing this, Yu Cheng's eyes flashed with enthusiasm, "Then why not let me cut your hair..."

Qin Ye quickly made a stop gesture. She really couldn't understand why Yu Cheng was so obsessed with cutting people's hair.

She was silent for a while, and recalled it carefully in her mind. She was sure that she couldn't find a better candidate, so she could only bite the bullet and continue: "Comrade Yu Cheng, do you know a good lawyer? Or a newspaper reporter is also fine."

In a sense, Cui Kexing's fate was what he deserved.

But what Cui Liang and his gang did to kill Cui Kexing was wrong, and there is no way to whitewash it. Fortunately, all three of them are minors.

The only thing she could do was to find a good lawyer for them, and then find an influential reporter to completely shatter Cui Kexing's good-guy mask in front of the world.

Use public opinion to reduce the legal punishment on Cui Liang as much as possible.

Hearing Qin Ye's request, Yu Cheng's playful expression subsided: "Comrade Qin Ye, do you know what you are doing?"

The murder of doctor Cui Kexing had spread throughout Jinhai. The murderer's cruel methods had caused panic among the people of the entire city.

In recent newspapers, every day newspapers report on Cui Kexing’s good deeds during his lifetime. Many people wrote letters to the Public Security Bureau, hoping that they could catch the murderer as soon as possible and severely punish him.

According to the usual practice of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, the most they could do was to reveal to the newspaper that the police had already caught the suspect. As for the rest, I won’t say a single word.

"Cui Liang himself is a juvenile offender, and the most he can be sentenced to is life imprisonment."

Yu Cheng still had a smile on his face, and seemed to be sincerely advising Qin Ye, "It seems that you don't need to do this."

Qin Ye looked far away in the direction of the interrogation room. The light in the interrogation room was projected through the glass near the window, becoming the only ray of light in the dim corridor.

She pursed her lips and smiled: "I'd better go ask the person involved and see if they think it's necessary."

If Cui Liang and the others wanted to make the truth public, she would do her best to try to get them a chance to have their sentences reduced.

Yu Cheng stared at Qin Ye for a long time. The girl's almond-shaped eyes were firm, but there was a gentle smile at the corners of her lips.

He suddenly realized that his imagination seemed a little too narrow - the Qin Ye in his imagination, like the group of people in the team, were all "crime-solving machines."

But obviously, Qin Ye is not.

He has always been the numb person, not Qin Ye, nor Xu Libai.

Yu Cheng thought of this and chuckled, "Okay, no problem, Comrade Qin Ye. I'll take care of finding a lawyer and a reporter.

Qin Ye thanked him sincerely again before walking towards the interrogation room.

…

In the interrogation room.

Cui Liang sat in the interrogation chair, holding his stomach with his slender fingers, and his honest and well-behaved appearance was exactly the same as Cui Shu. It was hard for anyone to believe that the young boy's frail body could burst out with amazing strength and brutally kill the evil spirit that controlled and bullied him.

Qin Ye noticed Cui Liang's small action of covering his stomach, opened a pack of calcium milk biscuits and put it next to him: "Eat something first, you can talk slowly."

"Thank you, Public Security Sister."

Cui Liang has been living in fear for the past few days. The last time he had a meal was the afternoon before.

With shaking hands, he took out the biscuits and ate the whole pack in one go. His stomach, which was cramping with hunger, finally stopped protesting: "I killed Cui Kexing. Xiaoshu and Wu Xiangming had nothing to do with it."

He had wanted to kill Cui Kexing for a long time, and he even discussed it with Wu Xiangming and made a plan: "Wu Xiangming likes me, but I don't like him. I helped him because I couldn't bear to see him being bullied at school. He was really too pitiful."

At home, Cui Liang had to endure abuse from Cui Kexing all the time, and no one could help him.

He understood too well the pain of being isolated and helpless, so when he once again saw his classmates bullying Wu Xiangming, he chose to stand up.

However, he did not expect that from then on, Wu Xiangming would choose to stay with him wholeheartedly.

"Wu Xiangming said he liked me, and I told him that I was actually a boy, and it was Cui Kexing who forced me to dress up as a woman to satisfy his perverted desires."

Cui Liang took a deep breath. Even now, when he mentioned Cui Kexing's name, he was still full of hatred. "I thought Wu Xiangming would be afraid and run away, but he asked me why I didn't kill Cui Kexing. He said he was willing to help me. Since then, the two of us have been discussing how to kill him."

Cui Kexing controlled and managed Cui Liang in every aspect. Later, when he heard from the class teacher that Cui Liang was close to Wu Xiangming, he became furious.

"That day, Cui Kexing came to the school to pick me up. I didn't expect that Xiaoshu had just received a letter, which was left at the window of the school's mailroom. In the letter, Xiaoshu said that she would come back from Hong Kong this month and take me away."

Cui Liang just felt that fate was playing tricks on him.

He would run to the mailroom during every break, fearing that Cui Shu's letter would be discovered by others. Unexpectedly, after being cautious for so many years, it was finally exposed at the last moment.

Cui Kexing recognized Cui Shu's handwriting and opened the letter on the spot. He learned from the letter that Cui Shu was coming back from Hong Kong.

That night, Cui Kexing not only did not beat Cui Liang, but also cooked a few delicious dishes for the first time. Like a real father, he invited Cui Liang to the table for dinner: "Ah Liang, your sister has been enjoying life in Hong Kong, but you are left to suffer in the mainland. Are you really willing to accept this? Don't you want her to have a taste of the suffering you have endured over the years?"

Cui Kexing kept trying to sow discord between Cui Liang and Cui Shu, until the end, when he finally revealed his purpose: "Aliang, when the time comes, you can trick your sister back home. Let her stay with me forever, and I will let you leave here and let you go to Hong Kong, okay?"

At this point, Cui Liang sneered, his brows full of sarcasm towards Cui Kexing.

"He thought I was a beast like him. I'm not! How could I possibly trick my sister into staying and enduring his torture? I knew the time had come and I had to kill him quickly. Only by killing him could Xiaoshu return to the mainland and be safe."

…

On the day of the incident, Cui Liang returned home early and hid behind the sofa where Cui Kexing usually liked to sit.

Cui Kexing came home from get off work and sat down on the sofa to relax. Cui Liang raised his knife, wanting to end Cui Kexing's life with one blow, but Cui Kexing barely dodged it.

Cui Kexing never expected that his son, who had always been cowardly and allowed himself to be bullied by him, would dare to point a knife at him, so he slapped Cui Liang twice on the spot.

Cui Liang did not swallow his anger as he did before, but rushed forward again with a knife in hand. He fought with Cui Kexing for a long time before he finally subdued Cui Kexing by virtue of his endurance advantage and tied him to a chair in front of the dining table.

While he was subduing Cui Kexing, Wu Xiangming also followed the process planned by the two and pried open the lock of the door to create the illusion of breaking into the house and killing someone.

At first, Cui Liang only planned to end Cui Kexing's life with one knife.

Unexpectedly, when Cui Kexing saw that he had helpers, he mocked the two of them: "Wu Xiangming, you like my son? Do you know that he is a shemale? I have been feeding him female hormones since he was a child, and he will never develop. In this life, he can only be a monster that is neither male nor female."

Wu Xiangming wanted to rush up on the spot and kill the evil ghost for Cui Liang, but was stopped by Cui Liang.

In Cui Liang's view, his life was completely ruined. He should not drag more people into the abyss. The evil spirit that caused his miserable life should be strangled by himself.

Cui Liang couldn't bear it. Until now, Cui Kexing didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt for his evil deeds over the years.

So he chose to cut Cui Kexing 108 times to let him bleed.

Cui Kexing was still shouting at the beginning, but when the number of cuts on his body increased and the pain became more and more, he finally realized that he was afraid and began to cry and beg for mercy from Cui Liang.

When Cui Kexing was almost out of breath, Cui Liang gritted his teeth and cut off Cui Kexing's genitals.

At that moment, he was finally relieved of the pain that he had suffered from Cui Kexing for many years.

…

"I know that his pleas for mercy are not sincere."

Cui Liang said this, looked up at Qin Ye, and smiled bitterly, "I can't let him live any longer. If he lives, my sister and I will have no way to survive."

After killing Cui Kexing, he immediately thought about surrendering himself to the Public Security Bureau.

Wu Xiangming refused to agree no matter what: "Cui Liang, don't you want to be reunited with your sister and mother in Hong Kong? You still have family, but I don't. I can go to the police station and turn myself in, and tell them that I did everything."

Just when the two were arguing, Cui Shu came back.

Before Cui Shu returned to the mainland, she received the last letter from Cui Liang. Cui Liang asked her not to come back for the time being, saying that he would solve everything. Only after he solved all the troubles could Cui Shu return to the mainland with peace of mind.

When Cui Shu saw the letter, she realized something was wrong and thought about sneaking back to take a look.

Unexpectedly, he ran into Cui Liang's murder scene.

She was only panicked for a moment, but soon calmed down and provided Cui Liang and Wu Xiangming with a perfect solution: "We can fake a scene, brother, you have to believe me. I have seen many crime-solving movies in Hong Kong, we can definitely deceive the police."

Cui Shu messed up the bedroom, left her own blood on the bed, and asked Wu Xiangming to leave his semen stains, creating the illusion that "Cui Shu" was sexually assaulted in the bedroom.

She took out the red suitcase again, hid inside it, and asked Wu Xiangming to drag her back to the Wu family.

He also specifically told Wu Xiangming to make sure people noticed his suspicious behavior.

"Brother, run away quickly. Wu Xiangming can turn himself in in two days. By then, the police will definitely come to the Wu family to investigate. Wu Xiangming and I will leave clues so that the police will suspect that we conspired to murder Cui Kexing."

Cui Shu took out all the money she had and stuffed it all into Cui Liang's hands. "Brother, run quickly. Run to Xiangjiang. When you run away, Wu Xiangming and I will confess everything and tell the police that it was you who killed the man. Then we will all be acquitted and the police won't be able to catch you. We will meet at the Xiangjiang Pier."

Cui Liang was persuaded.

He didn't want to die in prison, he wanted to be with his sister, mother and Wu Xiangming. They are each other's family, and they will have a new life in Hong Kong.

…

Cui Liang recalled Cui Shu's words, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably, he cried until he trembled: "They lied to me, both of them lied to me. I didn't know, I didn't know they planned to take the blame for me from the beginning."

If he had known earlier that Cui Shu and Wu Xiangming were planning to take the blame for him, he would never have planned to escape from Jinhai no matter what he said.

He couldn't even imagine how much regret he would feel if he escaped successfully tonight and learned the truth in the future that the two people took the blame for him.

…

Qin Ye looked at the young man in front of him who was crying uncontrollably and sighed silently.

She pushed the chair away, walked to Cui Liang, and asked softly: "Cui Liang, do you want to see your mother? I can help you contact her and call her back from Hong Kong."

Cui Liang raised his head and stared at Qin Ye for a long time, then shook his head gently: "Thank you, sister Gongan, but forget it. But - could you please take a letter to my sister and Wu Xiangming?"

…

Overnight, the conspiracy of the "criminal" who broke into the house and tortured the doctor was completely solved.

On behalf of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, Qin Ye submitted a case closing report to Director Xiao Fuchang.

After reading the report, Xiao Fuchang was speechless for a long time. Finally, he let out a long sigh: "Poor thing, these three children, they are all miserable people."

After that, he filed the case report in his hand and asked Qin Ye with concern: "What did the doctor say about your father's leg?"

Since Qin Ye arrived in the provincial capital, he has been busy for two days and has not left the ground at all.

Qin Ze hurriedly told her about Qin Guman's leg injury before leaving for the train station yesterday afternoon.

She thought for a moment and repeated what Qin Ze said: "The doctor said that his legs are not showing any signs of deterioration at the moment, so he can undergo conservative treatment for a year. After the treatment, we will determine whether surgery is possible based on the recovery of his legs."

After surgical treatment, Qin Guman has a certain chance of being able to stand up again.

"That's good. That's good."

Xiao Fuchang folded his hands, supported his face and looked at Qin Ye with a smile, "Have you thought about it? Do you want to stay in the provincial capital and be a police officer under my command?"

Qin Ye thanked him and temporarily declined Xiao Fuchang's kindness: "Thank you Director Xiao for your kindness. But I still want to take the college entrance examination next year."

Seeing her determined face, Xiao Fuchang thought of the mess that the team was in now, so he stopped trying to persuade her.

…

Before Qin Ye left the Public Security Bureau, he met Cui Shu, who had just been released, at the door.

Cui Shu interfered with the police's investigation, but did not cause much impact. On behalf of the Public Security Bureau, Wen Tingting criticized and educated her, asked her to write a letter of guarantee, and then let her go.

Wu Xiangming is considered to be Cui Liang's half accomplice and needs to be detained and disciplined for a period of time.

Only Cui Liang still has to wait for the court's verdict on his trial.

Seeing Qin Ye coming out, Cui Shu ran a few steps and blocked her way: "Sister Public Security, I just saw the lawyers and reporters you called for my brother. I admit that I blame you for arresting my brother. But... thank you anyway."

In Cui Shu's hand, was the letter Cui Liang wrote to her.

She lowered her head, opened the letter in her hand, and handed it to Qin Ye with both hands: "This is written to me by my brother."

There was a simple sentence written on the beige paper: [Xiao Shu, don't blame yourself for not saving me. From the moment you were willing to take the blame for me, I have gained the greatest redemption. 】

…

After reporters' reports, the truth about Cui Liang's murder of his father soon came to light.

Of course, the process of committing the crime is still kept confidential. Reporters only focused on the torture Cui Liang suffered at the hands of Cui Kexing over the years, as well as his mental journey before and after committing the crime.

Most people in this day and age still rely on newspapers for information, so once the report came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

No one expected that the truth behind the tragedy would be like this.

Some people are still dissatisfied with Cui Liang's cruel methods of committing crimes and believe that he should receive the most severe punishment. But more people felt sorry for the tragic experience of Cui Liang and his sister.

Letters of appeal were sent to the courts and public security bureaus in Jinhai Province from all over the country, and the mailboxes were full all day long.

Qin Ye heard this news from his senior brother Zhang You.

Zhang You knew that she was in the provincial capital, so he brought his good friend who was a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts to draw a portrait of An Chuqiang for Qin Ye, so that they could catch the scum who drowned the original owner as soon as possible.

"That child named Cui Liang is really pitiful."

Zhang You couldn't help but shake his head and sigh when he mentioned this case. "I don't know who found a reporter for him to make the truth behind the case public. Otherwise, this kid would have to stay in prison for the rest of his life."

The professor from the Academy of Fine Arts drew Qin Ye's portrait and nodded in agreement with his friend.

In response, Qin Ye just smiled and said nothing.

…

Three days later, Qin Ye received the portrait of An Chuqiang from the professor of the Academy of Fine Arts.

Before returning to Wuning County, she sent the portrait to the Provincial Public Security Bureau. When she came out, she happened to meet Yu Cheng playing frisbee with the police dog in the yard.

When Yu Cheng saw Qin Ye coming out, he threw the frisbee in his hand.

While the police dog was busy trying to catch the Frisbee, he walked up to Qin Ye and whispered the latest news he had received: "I went to the court yesterday to submit materials, and I overheard some staff discussing Cui Liang's case. They said they were planning to handle the case specially and reduce the punishment as appropriate."

Qin Ye heard this, and his almond-shaped eyes were filled with brilliance: "Really? That's great."

The girl's eyes were too attractive. Yu Cheng panicked and forced himself to turn his attention away. He waved his hand and shouted to the police dog in the distance: "Fei Fei! Come here!"

The police dog happily ran back with the frisbee in its mouth and handed it to Yu Cheng.

Only then did Qin Ye realize that this police dog named Feifei had the same crew cut as Qin Ze!

Qin Ye:? ? ? So, the designs of this man and dog were all made by Yu Cheng, right? ? ?

…

One month after returning to Wuning County.

Qin Ye read the court's trial results against Cui Liang in the newspaper. In view of the fact that he was a minor and Cui Kexing had caused him irreversible physical and mental harm over the years, he was eventually sentenced to fifteen years in prison.

The moment she put down the newspaper, she heard the prompt tone of the commission being completed: [Find out the murderer of doctor Cui Kexing for Anonymous (Cui Liang). The commission has been completed. Reward: 1,000 yuan in cash]

[Does the host choose to watch Cui Liang and Cui Shu’s new life? 】

As Qin Ye nodded, the dazzling neon street scene unique to Hong Kong appeared before her eyes.

A young man speaking broken Mandarin walked into the barber shop and shouted to the handsome young man behind the bar: "Aliang, give me a haircut! I want the most popular hairstyle now! I have to meet my girlfriend soon!"

When Cui Liang saw the customer coming, he immediately stood up from behind the bar and smiled shyly at the customer: "Okay, I will definitely give you a very handsome haircut."

The young man gave an OK sign with satisfaction: "Where are your mother and your sister?"

"Here! Here!"

A shrewish woman with curly hair walked in with Cui Shu, holding a few pieces of freshly bought Guiling jelly in her hands. "Come on, come on, the Guiling jelly in this dessert shop is the best. Xiaoshu, Aliang, come and eat."

As he said this, he did not forget to give one to the young man who came to get a haircut.

The young man didn't expect that there would be a share for him. He grinned and thanked her: "Thank you, Aunt Zhou. You are such a kind person. You deserve to have such a well-behaved and beautiful son and daughter!"

"Hahaha, you little bastard, you have a sweet mouth. Come and eat it."

Zhou Cangyao touched the top of her son and daughter's head, took a bowl of tortoise jelly, squatted at the door of her own barber shop with her back to the children.

She had just scooped a spoonful of tortoise jelly when tears began to fall silently.

Zhou Cangyao quickly wiped away her tears and put the tortoise jelly into her mouth.

She was reborn.

The stupidest decision she made in her previous life was to come to Hong Kong alone to make a living. She thought that even a tiger would not eat its own cubs, and as soon as she made money, she would immediately return to the mainland to pick up her son and daughter.

But in the end, when she took Cui Shu away, she had already been violated by Cui Kexing; and Cui Liang, who stayed in the mainland, was tortured by Cui Kexing to the point of collapse, and finally chose to kill Cui Kexing.

She was completely unaware of this until Cui Liang smuggled into Hong Kong. She then realized that Cui Liang had killed Cui Kexing, and Cui Shu had chosen to stay in the mainland temporarily to attract the attention of the public security.

It was not until the case was reported in the newspaper that Zhou Cangyao learned that her daughter had decided from the very beginning to stay in the mainland to take the blame for her brother.

When Cui Liang learned that his sister had taken the blame for him, he went crazy on the spot.

Later, Zhou Cangyao discovered that her crazy son had opened a forum and issued a commission to a police officer named Qin Ye in the forum.

I hope she can catch the real murderer who killed Cui Kexing.

When Zhou Cangyao woke up the next day, she found herself back in 20 years.

A voice told her that in another parallel universe, Officer Qin Ye had completed the commission. Therefore, in this world, she has a chance to start over and change the tragedy of her son and daughter's previous lives.

This time, Zhou Cangyao did not hesitate and took both her son and daughter to Hong Kong.

The two no longer followed the scumbag Cui Kexing's surname, but changed their names to Zhou, and called themselves Zhou Liang and Zhou Shu.

She lived a hard life with her two children, but fortunately, with her experience from her previous life and her two children being smart and sensible, life soon got better.

As for Cui Kexing, I heard that he couldn't control his temper in the hospital because he lost his "punching bag" at home. During his ward rounds, he insulted a ragged young man.

Little did they know that this young man was a fugitive criminal with several lives on his hands and could not stand his bullying at all.

The other party picked up a fruit knife from the ward and stabbed Cui Kexing dozens of times. Cui Kexing became a vegetable due to untimely rescue.

Cui Kexing had lost his family, so out of humanitarianism, the hospital converted his office into a private ward for him. After lingering on for several months, he died on the hospital bed with festering all over his body because no one took care of him.

"Mom! My brother bullied me again!"

Inside the barber shop, Cui Shu's voice, oh no, it was Zhou Shu's voice complaining was heard.

Zhou Cangyao turned around and looked at the sound. Her Aliang and Xiaoshu were playing and fighting heartlessly, having long forgotten the scum who had abused her.

That's good, that's the best.

Aliang and Xiaoshu's lives are not overshadowed by Cui Kexing. They will both grow up safely and have a happy and healthy life.

Zhou Cangyao thought that when she went to see the master to pray for blessings for her children tomorrow, she must also ask for a peace amulet for Officer Qin Ye.

Thank you very much, Officer Qin Ye, I hope she lives a long life.

…

"Qin Ye! Qin Ye, are you there?!"

Outside the door, Li Quan's anxious voice suddenly sounded.

"I am here!"

Qin Ye hurried out the door, tidying up his clothes as he walked, and asked, "What's wrong, Li Quan?"

Li Quan was so anxious that he was pacing around the door: "Aunt He just came to our police station and said that Public Security He hasn't been home for two days, and he hasn't written home!"
