"As expected of a detective... He reviewed all my plans..."
After Tang Ze finished telling everything, Mao Tian Rongxin frankly chose to admit it.
"So you plead guilty?" Tang Ze raised his eyebrows.
"What's the point of admitting guilt or not? All the evidence at the crime scene is clearly laid out there. Even if I don't admit it, what's the point?"
The confession of guilt expressed in Nekoda Eishi's counter-question was very clear, but the more so, the more confused Tang Ze became.
"Your attitude changed a bit abruptly. I'm curious what caused this change in your mindset."
Seeing that the case was nearing its end and the other party had already pleaded guilty, Tang Ze couldn't help but ask about the doubts in his heart.
"I think it's a desire to atone for my sins."
Mao Tianrongxin looked a little disappointed: "In order to get the company back on its feet, I had to let go of those employees who were close to retirement, whose work energy had weakened, and whose abilities were not as good as before.
And Houcun was one of the people I fired..."
However, the original dismissal plan went awry when it came to Houcun.
The other party threatened him that if he dared to fire him, they would make public the company's long-standing practice of counterfeiting food trademarks.
He used this as a threat and offered to let him stay until retirement, while paying him a salary that would allow him to buy his wife an expensive brooch like the one advertised in the newspaper for her birthday.
And at the very end, Houcun also made a subtle threat, saying that after he retired, his wife might ask him for more expensive jewelry than this, and asked him to take good care of her then.
The blackmail implication in this statement is self-evident. The thought of being blackmailed by the other party in the future and facing an even more miserable ending than now makes me feel depressed.
His murderous intent began to spread from his heart, eventually leading him to carry out this murder plan.
But after killing someone, the guilt in his heart continued to eat away at him.
After all, they have been colleagues for many years, and it is also a fact that Houcun has been contributing to the company since he was young. The relationship between them and even between their two families is very good.
Killing Houcun also made him feel sorry for his good friend Mrs. Houcun.
At the beginning, he still had a lucky mentality, thinking that the police would not link Houcun's death to him, but when Tangze found him and said that, he knew he could not escape.
Afterwards, the guilt and sense of sin in his heart took over, as if he wanted to take revenge on himself. His desire for atonement made him choose silence.
After hearing the other party's thoughts, Tang Ze was speechless.
When he feels that he can get away with it, he acts so angry and tries hard to appear innocent, but when he realizes that he cannot escape the crime, he is filled with guilt and wants to atone for his sins in revenge.
Even choosing to remain silent at the last chance increases the possibility of being convicted of a serious crime.
Tang Ze didn't know whether he was truly feeling guilty, or was so desperate that he decided to spend the rest of his life in prison, or was he still holding on to hope in the end, hoping to gain sympathy and reduce his sentence by playing the victim.
This contradictory approach gives people a sense of childishness, but it actually happened.
This made Tang Ze sigh that the human heart is indeed the most unpredictable and complex thing.
Because everyone is an independent individual, even in the same situation, people's psychology will fluctuate and produce various different psychological responses.
Even the most brilliant reasoning cannot predict how the human species will react when faced with a unified situation.
Well, this sentence has the flavor of a "washing machine" confessing its love to Xiaolan, and it seems even more noble and philosophical.
Of course, Tang Ze was just expressing his feelings. As a person familiar with psychology, he knew that perhaps many psychological aspects could be defined by academics, but there were always some people who would do incredible things.
And these may be human nature.
As Nekoda Rongxin was taken away by the police car, the robbery case and the murder case came to an end.
"What a coincidence! I didn't expect this robber to meet you two, Karasawa and Takagi, here."
Looking at the departing police car, Shiratori, who was about to say goodbye to Tang Ze and the others, had a look of suspicion in his eyes, but his tone remained teasing as he said, "Men normally wouldn't come to a place like this. Are the two of them going to give any gifts?"
"Ah, buy a bracelet for Ayako." Tang Ze said with a smile.
"Hey... Takagi, did you buy any gifts too?" Shiratori's eyes immediately became dangerous after hearing what Tang Ze said. Takagi laughed awkwardly at the terrifying expression.
"Shiratori, hurry up and leave." At this moment, Sato Miwako, who was driving the police car, urged: "Hurry back and finish the record before leaving get off work."
"Okay, I understand."
Interrupted by Sato Miwako, Shiratori calmly said goodbye to the two and got into the police car.
"Then we'll leave first." Sato Miwako said with a smile: "Takagi, you guys should go back and rest early too."
"I understand. Be careful on the road." Gao Mu saw the corner of his sweetheart's mouth and unconsciously raised a smile and said goodbye to him.
But when he saw the car driving away, Takagi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking at the relieved Takagi, Tang Ze couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why are you so nervous? Is Shiratori going to eat you?"
"He won't, but those guys will." Gao Mu sighed with tears in his eyes. "Tomorrow will definitely be a disaster. Those guys will definitely continue to ask me what I bought for Miwako."
Thinking of the group of guys in the "Sato Miwako Defense Line", Takagi couldn't help but shudder, and then he hung his head with a dull look in his eyes.
