"What's the name of the habitual thief you caught?"
"Zhang Qiang." Old Li replied.
Shen Weidong stood up quickly, "You two go and interrogate him now."
"Director Chen, what happened?" asked Lao Li.
He has been with Shen Weidong for many years, and usually the two of them don’t talk so seriously.
“Go right away.” Shen Weidong said in a deep voice.
Old Li immediately restrained his expression, realizing that things might be more complicated than he thought.
"We'll go right away." Old Li responded and went to the interrogation room with his apprentice.
The clerk sat near the door.
Zhang Qiang was leaning against the chair at this moment, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
Anyway, he had no means of making a living, so he relied on stealing and lived one day at a time.
Old Li and his apprentice were furious when they saw Zhang Qiang's nonchalant look.
"Zhang Qiang, tell me what you did wrong?"
"What crime could I have committed? I didn't do anything. Please don't accuse me."
"You just came back from the farm and you're going back to your old ways. How dare you deny it?" Old Li shouted in a deep voice.
Zhang Qiang hurriedly shook his head. "No one was caught red-handed. That old man is wrongly accusing me. I didn't do anything."
Shen Weidong suddenly opened the door and walked in with Song Qingyun. Zhang Qiang and Master Lao Li looked up at the same time.
"Wu Dazhi!"
"Hey." Zhang Qiang suddenly realized something the moment he responded.
The blood rushed to my brain and I felt dizzy.
The moment he responded, Zhang Qiang, also known as Wu Dazhi, knew that he was finished.
Those who knew his name was Wu Dazhi have been killed by him.
The police calling him now meant that they already knew what happened that year.
Shen Weidong walked to the interrogation table, Lao Li and his apprentice stood up and made room for him, and Shen Weidong and Song Qingyun sat down.
"Wu Dazhi, you killed so many people back then and were able to escape unscathed. You're quite capable."
"Why is it that now that I'm older, I've become timid and dare not admit what I did."
Wu Dazhi chuckled, "I really didn't expect that after all these years, there would still be people who knew my name."
"Director Shen is indeed Director Shen! Director Shen may not know that everyone who knew this name back then was killed by me."
The playful and nonchalant expression on Wu Dazhi's face disappeared, replaced by a fierce look in his eyes.
Shen Weidong was full of righteousness and was not afraid of Wu Dazhi's sudden burst of murderous intent.
"Since you dare to admit it, then explain everything clearly. We will close the case and give you a quick death."
Wu Dazhi laughed heartily, "Really, don't blame me. Don't blame me for what happened back then!"
Wu Dazhi first laughed wildly, then slammed the chair handles with both hands.
After a period of intense emotional ups and downs, Wu Dazhi finally calmed down and slowly recounted the events of his murder.
He once wanted to live a good life, but he came from a poor family.
His mother was a prostitute. Although the policy at that time talked about liberation and salvation, his mother did leave the place where she had lived and married his father.
Later she gave birth to Wu Dazhi.
In the first few years, Wu Dazhi's life was as simple and happy as other children in the village.
Although we have to work and life is hard, every day is full of hope.
Wu Dazhi's mother also found a sense of happiness in the rare tenderness and stability.
But fate did not let them go in the end.
Someone who knew Wu Dazhi's mother told him that she had been a prostitute.
From that day on, rumors were everywhere.
My father was angered to death.
After suffering a lot of bullying, the mother decided to take Wu Dazhi away from the famine.
There was a severe drought at that time, and many people fled the famine. They left their hometowns and moved to many places before settling down.
No one here knows them.
Wu Dazhi changed his name to Zhang Qiang.
Wu Dazhi once thought that this was the beginning of a new life for him and his mother.
Unexpectedly, not long after they settled in, two people entered their room in the dark.
The two people were from the same village as them, and they had also fled to the nearby area to escape famine.
The two men often threatened Wu Dazhi's mother that if she did not do what they wanted, they would reveal her identity.
Neither Wu Dazhi nor his mother wanted to lose the respect and kindness of the people around them.
So the mother compromised again and again, but they became more and more aggressive and told the matter to people they got along well with.
Their bullying intensified.
In a fit of rage, Wu Dazhi killed two of them.
After killing two people, the violent gene in Wu Dazhi's body seemed to be triggered, and he found an opportunity to kill several other people who had bullied his mother.
Wu Dazhi was young, in good health and strong at that time, and he left no clues when he killed people.
Plus, there was no surveillance at that time, so no one noticed.
There were witnesses who saw him, but it was a dark and windy night and they couldn't see clearly until the last person called out his name.
At that moment, Wu Dazhi suddenly felt scared, and the violence in his body receded instantly. After making sure that the man was dead, he hurried home.
Wu Dazhi burned the clothes he wore when he killed people, and cleaned his hair and nails again.
After making sure that no traces were left, Wu Dazhi resumed his previous life.
Later, although all those people died, my mother did not live long.
She had lived too hard a life and didn't want to hold on any longer, so she finally let go of Wu Dazhi's hand.
Wu Dazhi buried his mother in great pain.
He started looking for a job like other young people, but it was not easy to find a job, so he could only do some simple temporary work.
After all the trouble, life is a mess.
Later, by chance, Wu Dazhi stole someone else's money. The feeling of getting something for nothing instantly immersed him.
Wu Dazhi thought that he stole things in order to survive, and people should do anything to survive.
So, he started stealing things every now and then.
He was later caught and sent to a farm for reform.
After being reformed for a period of time, Wu Dazhi couldn't find a job when he came back, so he had to continue stealing.
It just so happened that this time I was caught by Lao Li and his men and was taken to the Public Security Bureau.
After entering the Public Security Bureau, he still tried to tease Song Qingyun dishonestly, but ended up having all his secrets exposed.
After Wu Dazhi finished his story, he leaned back and said in a relaxed tone, "I killed them because they bullied my mother. They all deserved to die."
"I know that killing someone means killing someone."
"But I don't regret it!"
"Besides, I can't survive now. I don't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes. If I don't steal something, I don't know where my food will come from. It's better to wait for death in there."
After Wu Dazhi finished speaking, it was as if he had let go of the anger that had been accumulating in his body for a long time.
He looked like he had given up, as if he was the one abandoned by life...
