Chapter 195 Beast
"Hello! My name is Yu Fengzhi. I don't know who you are, but when you see this letter, I should no longer be in this world.
I can't live anymore!
Today is the seventh day that I have been locked in this cave. During these few days, I have experienced the most disgusting and infuriating things in the world and witnessed the most despicable and lowly human nature!
I can't survive anymore!
I never thought that my life would end in such a desolate cemetery!
I can't escape, and I don't want to escape!
It's not a pity for me to die, but if I die like this, Comrade Yang Huilin will have sacrificed his life in vain! No one will ever know about the crimes that happened here!
So I wrote down what I experienced in the past few days, hoping that God will see the light of day one day.
On May 10, 1975, five comrades, including Yang Huilin, Wang Kaiping, Wu Jin, and Liu Wengui, and I set out from Jiangping County to Wushanao Village. Our mission was to popularize the law, spread literacy, and distribute subsidies. On the way into the mountains, the older comrade Wang Kaiping fell and broke his bones, and was seriously injured, so he had to turn back.
We faced two choices at the time. One was to return as a group, or I and Comrade Yang Huilin, who served as the accountant, would continue to escort the subsidy to Wushanao, while the other two comrades would take turns carrying Comrade Wang Kaiping out of the mountain.
Considering that the most important task in the mission was to distribute the subsidies, someone had to complete it. In order to complete the task and to deliver the already delayed subsidies to the village as soon as possible, Comrade Yang Huilin and I chose to continue on our journey.
But I didn’t expect that this choice would cost Comrade Yang Huilin’s life and ruin myself.
Because Comrade Yang Huilin and I were unfamiliar with the road and lacked experience, we were unable to reach Wushanao before dark. I was exhausted and slipped into the stream. The slope was too steep. Comrade Yang Huilin tried to rescue me again and again, but failed. He was also trapped, unable to go up or down.
At this time, Ge Baogen and Ge Sanniu, who had gone into the mountains for night hunting, discovered us. They worked together to rescue me and lit a fire for us to dry our clothes and keep out the cold.
We were very grateful for their timely appearance at that time, and because they were from Wushanao, we had no defenses against them.
Comrade Yang Huilin's clothes and shoulder bag were all wet when he rescued me. He was worried that the money was soaked in water, so he checked the shoulder bag in front of them.
Little did they know that the money in the bag, which originally belonged to Wushanao, aroused the greed of the two beasts.
On the way back to the village, they led Comrade Yang Huilin to the edge of a cliff, snatched his bag, and pushed him into a deeper stream. Just when I thought they were going to push me down, they knocked me out.
The next day, when I woke up, I was locked in this cave, with an iron chain tied around my ankles. I couldn't walk out of the cave and could only see an endless cemetery outside.
On the third day, the two beasts bared their fangs once again. After swallowing the subsidy and murdering Comrade Yang Huilin, they took turns violating me. No matter how I cried and yelled, they just vented their bestial desires like animals.
The same thing happened on the fourth day.
Despite my parents' opposition, I came to Jiangping County to teach with great enthusiasm. I volunteered to go to the most difficult places, wanting to contribute a little of my light and heat to this era.
But this world repays me with the greatest malice.
I cried until my tears dried up and my throat became hoarse, but no one answered my calls to heaven or earth.
On the fifth day, I saw two children wandering around the cemetery. I thought I saw hope, so I asked them for help and asked them to pass on a message to me. But they shook their heads. They didn’t dare to do anything to disobey adults, and they didn’t even have a basic sense of right and wrong.
I'm desperate!
I can't live anymore!
The evil of this world overwhelmed me and shattered the last bit of attachment I had to this world!
On the sixth day, after the two beasts had vented their anger and went down the mountain, I saw the two children again. I gave up the idea of asking for help and exchanged the candy in my bag for an empty bottle with a lid.
Fortunately, this time, they kept their promise.
While I still have breath left, and before they take my bag, I think I have to leave something behind.
In order to preserve the innocence of Comrade Yang Huilin who died, he delivered the subsidy so firmly and persistently. Who knows whether those beasts would take the money and then make trouble for his reputation.
It is also to warn the comrades behind me that there are some beasts who are not worthy of being human beings! They have no humanity and no bottom line! There is no need to help them!
They don't deserve it!
Not worth it!
Just let them be animals! Let them fend for themselves! They will eventually suffer the consequences of their actions!
…
Also to...say goodbye to my dear parents!
I miss my parents! If there is an afterlife, I will definitely listen to them.
…
If you see this, no matter who you are! I beg you! I beg you with all my life and strength! This is the last thing I have left in this life! Please don't destroy it!
If you can be more merciful! Please take this truth out! I will definitely repay you well in the next life!
Goodbye! Goodbye! I'm leaving!
"Yu Fengzhi's last words on May 16, 1975"
The handwriting at the end of the letter was already sloppy and blurred, and had to be read carefully to be discernible.
Su Tong's hands were shaking badly, and overwhelming shock and anger filled his whole body.
The truth is this!
No matter how prepared one is, one cannot help but be shocked again and again by the viciousness and meanness that goes beyond the moral bottom line!
Human life is insignificant in the eyes of these people, let alone morality and humanity.
A place far away from the hustle and bustle is not necessarily a pure land, but more likely to be a place of uncivilized ignorance and cruelty.
The two men also fell into silence for a long time. Only the slightly red circles under their eyes and the bulging veins on their arms revealed that their hearts were not at peace.
After a long while, Qin Yi said:
"According to the records in the file, on May 25, 1975, the county public security bureau received a report from a county government employee, requesting assistance in finding two missing staff members. A search lasted more than 20 days, until the satchel was found. It was then speculated that the two people must have accidentally fallen off the cliff."
"Just as Comrade Yu Fengzhi worried, because the money was lost at the same time, it is theoretically possible that both persons or one of them absconded with the money. This is also the reason why this case was ultimately classified as a disappearance rather than an accident."
Lin Li said, "According to the letter, Yang Huilin's bag was stolen when he was pushed off the cliff, and Yu Fengzhi's bag had been with her during her lifetime. Later, it should have fallen into Ge Baogen's hands. Ge Baogen was afraid that he would find clues if he continued to search, so he hung one of the bags on a tree and faked the scene of the two people falling, in order to end the search."
"The bag hanging on the tree belongs to Yu Fengzhi!"
Qin Yi said: "Only in this way can the investigators have more room to suspect that Yang Huilin absconded with the money."
Lin Li nodded in agreement, then frowned and said:
"The question now is, now that we know the truth, how do we arrest them?"
"From the behavior of Village Chief Ge and Shan Zhu, they should be aware of this matter. However, one of the culprits is already dead, and the other is also dying. In this case, as accomplices, they will definitely be angry or deny it."
Su Tong looked at the red badge in his hand, on which the small golden words "Serve the People" were shining brightly.
In the end, this world let down a passionate girl.
She took a deep breath, dispelling some of the resentment in her heart, and continued Lin Li's words:
"The timing of revealing the truth is very important. Ge Baogen and Ge Sanniu were born and raised here. You get what you give. It's hard to guarantee that others will be as unscrupulous as them. If the villagers make mistakes, it will be a problem whether we can leave safely."
"What's more, Ge Baogen's condition is very serious. It's unclear whether he can be saved. It's true that evildoers will be punished one day. I now hope that he can live to face the day of trial!"
Lin Li said, "We have a mission to complete and we can't spare any manpower. We know the truth but can't make this case public. It's really frustrating. Do we have to wait until we complete the mission before we can come back to handle this case?"
Qin Yi said, "No need to wait! I'll find a way to solve this problem! Now that his true form has been revealed, we can't keep him here for even a day longer!"
