Chapter 151 (Update 1)
The two cars sped forward one after the other in the night, and in less than twenty minutes, they arrived at the Zhong family's old house. This is a one-story building with its own small courtyard, located by the river. Just as Hang Jiabai and his companions got out of the car, another police car arrived. Four policemen got out of the car. Two of them took out their guns, and two of them raised their explosion-proof shields.
Wenying looked at the old house in the dark and listened to the barking of dogs. She felt complicated and could not describe it in words.
This is the old house of the Zhong family. Zhong Jiasheng and his sister were born and grew up here.
Before Wenying married Zhong Jiasheng, Zhong's mother, who was still alive, used all her savings to renovate and decorate the house. Wenying was very touched at that time, and she was happily serving as Zhong Jiasheng's bride.
Wenying also lived a good period of time in this house, but those days were too short, so short that it seemed like a dream. Over the years, those happy memories have long been replaced. She no longer had any expectations or attachment to Zhong Jiasheng.
"Comrade police, here are the keys for you." She handed the keys to Hang Jiabai, who opened the gate. Several policemen, holding guns, moved forward, covering each other.
Lin Shuyue and the other person followed in last. Ye Xueyu followed them and protected them at all times.
Lin Shuyue took out a brick from her bag. Except for Wenying who was a little surprised, the other policemen were used to it. Inside the Public Security Bureau, Lin Shuyue had a nickname she didn't know about: Brick God.
Over the past six months, the number of red bricks piled up in the corners of the bureau has decreased a lot. Now, people no longer train their arm strength on the horizontal bar, but choose to throw bricks instead. At the moment of catching the traitor, Lin Shuyue's flying drill captured the hearts of countless police officers, especially the female police officers. The more they practiced, the more they realized that bricks were really a powerful weapon. No matter if it was a flat surface or a sharp corner, it would hurt people badly if it touched them.
Can fight in close combat and attack from a distance. When you go out without a gun, having a red brick is really handy. Just last month, there was a young female police officer in their unit who met a hooligan on her way home. She remained calm, took out a brick from her bag, and hit the hooligan on the forehead with the brick.
This incident caused a sensation in the entire public security system. It is said that most female police officers now carry a brick in their bags when they go out.
Everyone had a weapon, but Wenying didn't. She was very panicked, so when she entered the room, she pulled the tumbleweed broom by the door.
Lin Shuyue's good and evil radar system is always on, and now there is no evil value displayed on the radar.
The furniture in the living room was gone, and the room was empty. The only table, which used to house a Buddhist shrine, was covered with a thick layer of dust. However, the floor was very clean and polished to a shine, without a single footprint left.
Wenying entered the living room and pointed to the room on the left. That was where Zhong Jiali slept since she was a child. Hang Jiabai walked in, stretched out his hand to push the door, but it didn't move. He took a step back, and with a loud "bang", the door was kicked open. Hang Jiabai shone the flashlight inside.
The room was very clean. In the middle of the room, there was an old-fashioned wooden bed with nothing on it.
Hang Jiabai walked to the window and looked out. There was a wall outside the window. It was the house next door.
Jiangzhou stepped forward, put the gun behind him, and moved the bed away. Zhao Youcheng walked up and stepped on a few beige floor tiles, finally stopping on a drill in the middle. He bent two fingers and knocked on it. The sound that came back from below was a little muffled. He knocked on another tile, and the sound feedback was completely different.
The floor tiles were of 80X80 specifications. Zhao Youcheng pulled out a military knife, drew a circle along the seams between the tiles, found the easiest place to pry them open, and with a click, he used his fingers instead of a knife to lift up the floor tiles.
A black hole appeared in front of everyone's eyes. When they shone the flashlight downwards, it was pitch black and only gray-black cement bricks could be seen. A staircase made of steel bars extends from the painted wall of the cave entrance to the bottom.
Zhao Youcheng put the military knife back on his body and went down the stairs. Jiangzhou followed closely behind him. Soon, the voices of two people were heard from downstairs. Two people were left upstairs to keep watch, and Hang Jiabai and others all went downstairs.
This is a basement about two meters underground. Judging from the direction, it is built directly under the yard, and the room inside is about 20 square meters in size.
Next to the innermost wall is an operating bed. The mattress of the operating bed has turned black, which is the color of blood. There are many things hanging on the wall above the operating table, ranging from the largest bone-cutting knife to the smallest pedicure knife. The whips range from iron whips to leather whips, the candles range from large to small, from scented candles to wedding candles, to all kinds of sexual products that increase people's pain, there is everything.
There is a cutting machine and an electric drill in the corner.
The air in the room circulated very slowly, and it carried a rotten smell like rotten blood.
A policeman had just come down and retched because he couldn't adapt. □
"Take all these things back to Jiangzhou, and notify the people who are watching Zhong Jiasheng to arrest him."
"Yes, Captain Hang." Jiangzhou responded in a deep voice.
Lin Shuyue and Wenying stood in the room, watching Hang Jiabai and the others move things out bit by bit.
Wenying's face turned pale: "Xiao Lin, tell me, if I had shown weakness at the beginning, would these things have been used on me?"
Because Zhong Jiali had this problem after returning from abroad, sometimes she came back covered in bruises, so she specifically went to learn about this group and gave it a glamorous and elegant English name, but in reality, it was abuse, X abuse.
If it is consensual, it is fine. But if it is not, and it is forced training and domestication, then it is immoral, disgusting and cruel.
The nu in this kind of parent-child circle has no human rights in front of the master.
Without waiting for Lin Shuyue to speak, she continued, "I remember the year when Zhong Jiali just started to quarrel with me, I told him about this matter, and he always instigated me to fight with her and quarrel with her. I didn't listen to him. One reason is that Zhong Jiali is a student, and it is normal for her to feel stressed. The second reason is that I think she is young, and I don't need to care too much about her. My tutor doesn't allow it either."
"You said that if I had listened to him at that time, I would have felt that he was supporting me and had a quarrel with Zhong Jiali. I would have been tamed by him step by step." This truth is actually not difficult to understand.
Zhong Jiasheng asked Zhong Jiali to provoke her, which was actually to suppress her, suppress her pride, and suppress her backbone. When a person lives in the illusion of being provoked and looked down upon for a long time, even the most fierce temper will be worn down. She will change from a confident, generous and cheerful woman to a dodder dependent on Zhong Jiasheng.
When Zhong Jiasheng no longer supports her and stands by Zhong Jiali no matter what like he did before, what will she do when she is used to his support? Just thinking about it made Wenying feel her scalp tingling.
There is only one result, she will definitely compete with Zhong Jiali for favor. In order to win his favor, she and Zhong Jiali will step by step lower their moral bottom line and self-esteem bottom line. In the end, will she be like those nus in the alphabet circle, not only having to suffer all kinds of abuse, but even being so low that she has to eat shit?
When Wenying thought of this, she leaned against the wall and vomited. She hadn't eaten anything that night, and everything she vomited tasted bitter.
Lin Shuyue felt that her analysis made sense, patted her shoulder, and said with great relief: "Yes, it's a good thing you didn't fall for it."
Zhao Youcheng walked past Lin Shuyue while carrying things. He heard their conversation and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up: "Yes, it's a good thing you didn't fall for it. That's great."
Wenying didn't want this kind of praise. She took the mineral water that Lin Shuyue brought and rinsed her mouth. Her voice became bitter and hoarse because of vomiting: "Tell me, Zhong Jiali told me so many things because she envied me and regarded me as another her."
Although she was asking Lin Shuyue, Wenying used an affirmative sentence.
"It must be." People are like this. What they most want to be is someone who is completely opposite to themselves.
Wenying remained tenacious despite Zhong Jiasheng's constant suppression. Although there were many reasons, the education she received since childhood and the support of her parents accounted for the majority, this did not prevent Zhong Jiali from wanting to be like her.
Perhaps, Zhong Jiali should have imagined herself as Wenying, just like the character in "The Road Not Taken" in Lin Shuyue's textbook when she was a child.
Zhong Jiasheng's threat was like a fork in the road of life. Zhong Jiali chose the path of surrender. On this path, she lost a lot of things and became a puppet who lived by the orders of others. She could not even decide her own life and body.
Whether it was injury or damage, it was all up to others, even whether they could apply medicine after the injury.
, it’s not her turn to decide.
Facing Zhong Jiasheng as well, Wenying chose to resist and ignore him, so she became the opposite of Zhong Jiali and she became another kind of life that Zhong Jiali failed to live.
Perhaps many times, Zhong Jiali felt that Wenying was another self. That's why he left his last words to Wenying.
After moving all the things, Lin Shuyue and the others went to the Public Security Bureau together. At the door of the Public Security Bureau, they happened to meet Zhong Jiasheng who was brought in in handcuffs.
Zhong Jiasheng and Wenying looked at each other. Zhong Jiasheng was not panicked at all and even smiled at Wenying.
After knowing what Zhong Jiasheng did to Zhong Jiali, Wenying couldn't help feeling chilled.
After being married for more than ten years, Wenying finally saw Zhong Jiasheng's true character for the first time. At this moment, everyone realized that, just like his crying in the afternoon at the Public Security Bureau, his accusations and anger towards Wenying at the Public Security Bureau, as well as the viciousness and anger he showed when Wenying returned the gift to him, were all illusions he put on for others to see.
Now that he has been caught by the police, the person who remains calm and composed is the real him.
Ye Xueyu looked at his back as he was escorted in and took a deep breath: "This is a difficult character."

Lin Shuyue also realized it. She was sure that among the things found in the basement of the Zhong family’s old house, there might not even be a trace of Zhong Jiasheng’s DNA. The police must have noticed that their detention time is limited, and this time is actually within 24 hours.
In other words, in the next day, Hang Jiabai and his team must find evidence of Zhong Jiasheng's crime, otherwise, he will be released.
Lin Shuyue asked Ye Xueyu: "Did you find that Bobby?"
"No, according to people in his company, he lost the struggle at the French headquarters and resigned and went home. After he posted his flight ticket back home on his social blog, we haven't been able to contact him since."
Lin Shuyue's expression was serious: "He might have had an accident as well."
"That's our analysis. We've called the people in France, and they've already rushed to Bobby's hometown. There will be news by midnight."
Ye Xueyu still has to go and it's already past one o'clock
Lin Shuyue said goodbye to Ye Xueyu and left. Hang Jiabai took time out from the office to come and see her off. After sending her to the car, he reminded her earnestly: "It's late at night, and you're tired. Drive slowly."
"good."
"Call me when you get home." Hang Jiabai was very worried. It was the first time that Lin Shuyue knew he was so clingy.
It’s not like she had gone back home in the middle of the night before, but Hang Jiabai wasn’t as nagging as he is now. This thought flashed through her mind, but Lin Shuyue still felt warm in her heart.
She smiled and said, "I see. You should also take a rest. If you are not busy, take a nap. There is no end to the work, and not all clues can emerge at once."
"Okay." Hang Jiabai responded and waved at her: "Go back."
Lin Shuyue drove away. Wenying saw from the rearview mirror that Hang Jiabai was still standing at the door of the Public Security Bureau. She watched them leave and suddenly remembered that during all the years she and Zhong Jiasheng had been together, starting from when they were in school, whenever they parted, Zhong Jiasheng was always the first to leave.
It turns out that there were already signs of love or not. She just didn't know it at the time.
"Reporter Lin, can you take me to the company? I'll go and see if Zhong Jiali left anything behind." Wenying really wanted to send Zhong Jiasheng to prison. She didn't mind even if he went to jail and it would affect the child's future.
She had lived an upright life, and she could not convince herself to conceal the evidence of Zhong Jiasheng's crime for the sake of her child's future. She was taught from childhood that good and evil will be rewarded in the end. If Zhong Jiasheng does not come to justice, how can he be worthy of the innocent people who died because of him, and how can he be worthy of Zhong Jiali who protected her?
"good."
The car stopped downstairs of Dingsheng Building. The two got out and walked into the Dingsheng Building. There is a security guard on duty at night in Dingsheng Building. He should be new. He is tall and handsome. Lin Shuyue had never seen him, and Wenying was in a hurry to go upstairs. After showing their work badges, they went up the stairs.
Shengda Trading had already gone off work, but there were still sporadic lights on in Lin Shuyue and her colleagues' newspaper office; they were the proofreading team on the night shift. Wenying opened the glass door of Shengda Trading and went straight to Zhong Jiali's office.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw workstations arranged in rows. They walked through the corridor, passed through the offices of the company leaders, and came to the two innermost offices. One of these two offices was the general manager's office of Zhong Jiasheng, and the other was the deputy general manager's office of Zhong Jiali.
Wenying turned on the light on the wall, and an office full of girlish elements appeared in front of the two of them.
"Zhong Jiali likes to buy these fancy things, and she spends a lot of money on each of them. I can't stand it. It's not that you can't buy them, but you can't bring them to the company after you buy them. The company is an office space after all, and it should be serious and formal."
"Now I hope these strange things of hers are of some use, and that she will be thoughtful enough to leave me something important."
After a pause, Wenying pointed at the bookcase and said, "Xiaolin, I'll search the bookcase at the back while you search the desk. She must have more than two diaries. Turn on the computer while you're at it."
"OK."
After the division of labor was completed, the two of them searched separately. Wenying became more and more uncomfortable as she searched: "Xiao Lin, why am I like this? If I had found a time in the past ten years when no one knew about it, and talked to her frankly and calmly, wouldn't things have been different?"
Wenying's tone was filled with countless regrets and self-blame, and Wenying knew that she would spend her whole life in self-blame.
People with high moral standards cannot forgive others, nor can they forgive themselves.
Lin Shuyue was speaking when the light above her head suddenly went out and the whole office was plunged into darkness. Lin Shuyue stood up and looked out the window. The Xijiang Apartment opposite was brightly lit, the street lights on the roadside illuminated the road as if it were daytime, and neon lights flickered in the dark.
Only Dingsheng Building has a power outage!
As we all know, Dingsheng Building has had its own generator equipment since the day it was built, and there has never been a power outage in more than ten years.
Why is this power outage such a coincidence? Just when they were looking for something? Lin Shuyue took prompt action and pulled Wenying to the office of the administrative department next door. The two squatted under the desk. Lin Shuyue took out a brick from her bag. Wenying also realized something was wrong. They chose to rent a house in Dingsheng Building because they were attracted by the fact that there was no power outage in Dingsheng Building.
She squatted with Lin Shuyue, her heart pounding so loudly that it seemed to be about to jump out of her chest. She reached out and groped on the desk, and took out a palm-sized paperweight. This was the favorite ornament of the Minister of Administration. He would take it out and polish it whenever he had time, and he polished the ornament until it was pulped.
"Click." The glass door was pushed open.
"Da, da, da, da." A sound of footsteps was heard, getting closer and closer. Lin Shuyue clenched the brick and Wen Ying swallowed.
There was a sharp "crack" sound, which was the sound of a whip hitting the air.
A "person" with a good and evil value of up to 99% is slowly moving towards them.
"Wenying, Wenying, where are you? Zhong Jiali left something for you, do you want to see it?" A male voice sounded in the ears of the two. The voice was very gentle, like the whisper of a lover.
"Wenying, Wenying, didn't you just come to the company? Why haven't you come out yet? You can't be as obedient as your sister-in-law. People who are not obedient will be punished."
"Wenying, are you really not going to come out? Before she died, Zhong Jiali kept saying your name, saying that she wanted to be reborn as you in her next life. She also said that you were the person she envied the most and felt the most sorry for. Are you really not going to come out? Don't you want to know what she said at that time?"
"Wenying, Zhong Jiali really doesn't deserve it. She sacrificed herself to protect you and your child for so many years. How could you be so ungrateful?"
"Wenying, are you playing hide-and-seek with me? I love this game! Let's make a deal. Wait a minute, when I find you, will you give me your hand? Zhong Jiasheng said that your hands are like green onions, white, slender, and like a work of art. I've wanted to see them for a long time."
"Oh, and that kid, who are you? A policeman? A reporter? But it doesn't matter. I'll find you later. Will you be my nu? I will give you the most wonderful taste in the world and make you feel more comfortable than ever before. Believe me, you will fall in love with me."
"But don't defect. Like Zhong Jiali, she actually wanted to elope with Bobby. She actually thought I was not as good as Bobby. A nu actually wanted to change her master! This is extremely treasonous. Don't learn from her."
"Follow me, and I will make you the happiest nu, the nu that everyone envies. Okay?"
"I heard that Zhong Jiasheng wanted to train you into a spiritual nu, but he failed. Everything I know, I learned from him. Let me try and see if I, your apprentice, can surpass you, okay?"
"You all have outstanding looks. If I could train you~~wow, that would be really, really great. Just thinking about it, I can't wait."
"If you don't answer, it means you agree. Here I come~"
"I will give you a different life, believe me."
