This question seemed to have irreparably split his chest open, revealing the filthy, rotten, and foul substance inside. The rotten flesh, exposed to the light, made him itch, causing him to suddenly laugh in a very strange way.
Why did Liu Huawei specifically target girls from poor families, still in school, whose personalities and character had yet to develop? Because he firmly believed that power required comparison. Just like at this moment, the two people across from him, who were clearly younger than him, tied him to a chair, eroded his dignity, and made him lose everything, because they controlled the resources.
This is because the parents of the two people hold enough power to deprive them of their dignity almost overwhelmingly.
Then conversely, he can do that.
The power of contrast was so strong that it made Liu Huawei ignore his current situation and forget his fear. He only remembered the feeling of power that seemed invincible and unmatched when he played with the bodies and even souls of those girls.
He said slowly and morbidly, "They, they volunteered."
Liu Huawei said: "No one has ever reported me because I never touch them a second time, and I never force them. We just take what we need, so it's not a big deal. I don't know which family you are from, but you must have played with girls before. It's all the same. There's nothing to be ashamed of."
"It's just like that these days. People laugh at the poor but not at prostitutes. Aren't there only a few things a poor girl can sell?"
From the moment he accidentally told the truth, he might have gone crazy, and his words became uncontrollable and out of control.
"If no one sues, there's no evidence. If there's no evidence, no one will investigate. If no one investigates, then everything will be fine, right?" He laughed nervously, but in his madness, he still retained some of his sanity and desire to survive. He said to Wang Jinling:
"I swear to you, I haven't leaked anything that's detrimental to you or the Wang family. Even if I wanted to sell it, I don't have the connections. If I want to stab you in the back, I have to stand behind you first, right?"
Wang Jinling was completely enraged. She looked at him with an extremely cold gaze: "You are still stubborn even when death is imminent."
Shi Zirui stood aside, picked up her cell phone, and searched through it, as if looking for someone suitable to do the job.
She was just a manager, a secretary-like figure beside Wang Jinling. She was very capable, but had never been directly involved and had never learned to kill. Therefore, if she wanted to satisfy her master's wishes, she had to be smart enough to contact experts in this field to do it.
When it comes to experts in killing, Chen Tinghan just happens to know one.
He took Shi Zirui's cell phone, and in the slightly surprised eyes of the two women, he glanced at it and memorized the number she was about to dial.
Wang Jinling lifted her bangs, rubbed her smooth forehead, and said sarcastically, "You are so kind that you even want to save someone like this. I'm beginning to think that you are emitting a subtle Buddha nature."
Chen Tinghan returned the phone to Shi Zirui. He ignored Wang Jinling's cold gaze and reached into her shirt pocket. After fumbling for a moment, he pulled out a pair of kitchen gloves. He put them on and moved a chair over to sit in front of Liu Huawei. He said, "The interrogation is still going on. Answer my questions and give me a reason to let you go."
Liu Huawei noticed his gaze and suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and was speechless for a moment.
"How many girls have you insulted since the beginning?"
"I don't remember."
"Wrong answer." Chen Tinghan smiled, and suddenly twisted his fingers gently, and then... snap, the sound of broken finger bones preceded the scream, the subtle, crisp sound reached everyone's ears without deviation, and then the howling of pain was heard belatedly, echoing in the spacious gym.
Chen Tinghan broke his finger, but his emotions remained unchanged. He spoke calmly and slowly, "I admire a police officer. He represents the fairness and justice that allow us to live and work in peace and contentment in this world, punishing evil and promoting good. He firmly believes that this is what his profession can achieve."
"He once jokingly told me that it would be great if I could do this job after I graduate."
Liu Huawei was just howling. The excruciating pain that pierced his heart made him temporarily deaf, and he could only hear a vague echo.
Chen Tinghan didn't care whether he could hear him or not, he just kept talking to himself, "That was his ideal, an ideal that was beyond his reach, but one that his heart longed for. The world we live in is more complicated than any book describes. Even the most perfect hammer will sometimes fail to hit the right person.
So he and I are different. My conscience and my sensibilities prevent me from being completely impartial like him, especially when dealing with someone like you."
"But then again, I'm not a murderer. This is my clear and unequivocal bottom line. I'm not an expert at torture either. I'm afraid of killing you, so you're lucky. I can tell you very clearly that if I still don't get the answer I want after breaking all ten of your fingers, I will let you go."
Chen Tinghan said: "I won't let her do anything to you, because I respect the ideals of that police officer, and the law should ultimately punish you.
Let’s start, now the second one.”
Liu Huawei heard the rest of the words and screamed in fear, "Seven, seven, seven, seven!"
Chen Tinghan kept holding his hand and hooked his finger at Shi Zirui. She was a little dazed at first, and it took her a while to react and she handed the phone to Chen Tinghan.
Chen Tinghan placed the phone in Liu Huawei's good hand and said, "Enter their names, class, and year."
Liu Huawei burst into tears, but Chen Tinghan didn't give him a chance to fool around. He said mercilessly: "Don't say you don't remember. I know what kind of person you are. Those seven girls were probably what you considered your 'trophies'. You won't forget them."
The other person held the phone in his hand, trembling, and typed for more than ten minutes. Chen Tinghan did not rush him, but waited silently for him to finish typing. He stood up and handed the phone to Wang Jinling. He looked down at Wang Jinling and said, "If you really want to give me a gift, then do me a favor."
"Some of the students listed here have graduated for several years. I don't know if he lied or if he misremembered it. I'd like you to send someone to visit them and their families. If they don't want to be disturbed, then fine. If they still remember this matter, then compensate them in some way."
"If anyone still cares, tell them that evil will be punished."
Wang Jinling looked back at him and suddenly asked, "Where does the money come from?"
In fact, she already had the answer.
"Of course it comes from him."
Chen Tinghan said, "He's accumulated quite a bit of wealth over the years, and there's probably a lot more we don't know about, definitely more than just this meager 100,000 yuan. He's living in teacher housing provided by the school, but secretly owns a car. Recently, he was trying to escape, so he pawned everything he could and exchanged it for cash. He didn't dare deposit money into his credit card for fear it would be frozen.
Now the money must be hidden somewhere, I will find it, and then you can take care of it."
