Chapter 364: Not Saving the Lover
The following are Gong Hao's tearful confessions from the interview recording:
"I was a few years older than my girlfriend. She was a graduate student at the Agricultural University at the time, and I had been working for several years."
"We had an ordinary date that day. I asked my girlfriend to go to the movies."
"My girlfriend worked on her thesis until very late, so we bought tickets for the least crowded early morning session."
"I went to the bathroom alone and asked my girlfriend to wait for me for a while."
"After I came out, I heard her screaming for help. I ran over and someone sprayed me with ether in the face. I passed out."
"When I opened my eyes again, I found myself hugging a pillar with my arms, and my thumbs were locked with thumb chains by the murderer..."
"You know that thing? It's very small, locked between your thumbs. If you don't have the key, you can't open it without breaking your thumbs off."
"My girlfriend was locked in another room. The middle door was open a crack. From that angle, most of the time, I could only see my girlfriend's face."
"For a second or two, the murderer appeared in my field of vision, but he was wearing a white mask and rubber gloves, and nothing on his body was visible."
"He tortured my girlfriend very cruelly..."
Yuan Nan added a question: "I have a question, which may be presumptuous...Did the murderer assault your girlfriend in front of you? If you don't want to answer, you don't have to."
Gong Hao said: "No, his way of torturing her was to cut my girlfriend's body with a knife, letting her bleed... and then he started to chop off her fingers and toes..."
"When he tortured my girlfriend to death, he stopped and told me that if I was willing to die for her, he would let her go..."
"I... I had only been with my girlfriend for a few months. I didn't think it was time for me to sacrifice myself for her, so I didn't agree. Then he continued to torture my girlfriend..."
"And then... and then, just like the bag the police found today, they put it together with tissues collected from many hospitals and threw it into a busy place to provoke the whole society!"
Later, Gong Hao started crying.
Yuan Nan also stopped the interview.
There was a short break in the middle.
After hearing this, Qin Jiahuai thought of the future scene when Chu Yao described to him the time when she was murdered.
As soon as he blocked the knife for Chu Yao, the murderer left.
But in that situation, if the murderer really wanted to stab Chu Yao, it would be a piece of cake.
Did he deliberately let Chu Yao go?
Is this his modus operandi?
There were two people present, but only one was killed?
But he looked through the information of other victims' families, and none of those families mentioned this characteristic... Maybe he was overthinking it.
Soon, the interview entered the final section.
Gong Hao said: "After my girlfriend died, I realized how much I loved her. I simply couldn't let her go."
"I'm so useless, I'm such a coward... If I had to choose again, I would definitely die for my girlfriend!"
"I don't know why he spared my life, why he didn't kill me..."
At the end, there is a hysterical cry: "Murderer, if you are reading this interview, come out and kill me! Give me a quick death! Don't let me live in guilt forever!"
After hearing everything, Chu Yao felt very complicated.
Seeing your lover suffer and choosing to sacrifice for him/her is love;
It is human nature to want to live more and not help your loved one when he or she dies.
After all, love cannot defeat human nature.
Chu Yao did not comment much and began to translate the interview into text.
Qin Jiahuai got up to get another cell phone and sent a message to Ma Gongcheng.
Qin Jiahuai: "Did you ever suspect Gong Hao, the boyfriend of the 2012 victim?"
Ma Gongcheng: "We definitely suspected him first, but after numerous rounds of interrogation, we ruled him out. Furthermore, the murderer's dismemberment techniques were very professional, and he must have a medical background, which Gong Hao doesn't have. Furthermore, between 2012 and 2015, the murderer committed crimes in other places, while Gong Hao was in Fengpu during this time."
Qin Jiahuai helped Ma Gongcheng capture the remnants of the bandits, and Ma Gongcheng treated him as a cheat.
Regardless of who he is, I am willing to share non-critical public information with him.
Ma Gongcheng also sent a photo.
The man in the photo is dressed in black and wearing a mask and a hat. His face is completely invisible. All we can see is that he is about 170 cm tall.
Ma Gongcheng: "There are too many body parts and they are too mixed. We can't be sure whether the girl named Xu Qingyun is among them. However, she is indeed missing and has not been found yet. This is the footage captured by the school surveillance camera last night of the murderer dumping the body. Do you have any clues?"
Qin Jiahuai didn't reply and just turned off his phone.
He now has a backup plan.
It's just like falling into the water.
No changes are made in advance.
On that day, someone was hired to disguise as Chu Yao, and Officer Ma was asked to make arrangements in advance so that they could catch the perpetrators red-handed.
However, he was also afraid that the murderer might find out in advance and alert the enemy.
The murderer might chase them and kill them later.
He looked at Chu Yao who was working diligently beside him.
She imagined that after her death, she might meet a man who would obey her in everything, take care of her until she graduated from college, got married and inherited the family inheritance... and then his personality would change drastically, bully her, and cheat her out of her money...
No, no, I can’t die. I absolutely cannot die.
He opened the diary and carefully read the information about several future victims that Chu Yao had found for him.
If you look closely, you will find what they have in common, which the current police don’t know.
Well... every girl has a boyfriend or husband, is that a common point?
However, the people he killed were all young girls over 17 years old, so it is normal for a girl to have a partner at this age.
He read the information carefully.
Chu Yao over there had already handed over all the work for the morning to Yuan Nan.
After reading it, Yuan Nan immediately transferred 180 yuan to her.
Yuan Nan: "Yaoyao, you are very efficient and your conversions are accurate. When my colleagues have work next time, I will ask them to give you priority."
Chu Yao: "Okay, thank you Sister Yuan."
Chu Yao happily took the money, turned off the computer, stood up and said to Qin Jiahuai: "It's noon now, are you hungry? I'll treat you to a meal. Thank you for lending me your computer."
Qin Jiahuai: "Okay. Let's go."
-
The two of them went to the university where there was plenty of food.
Chu Yao looked up at him and asked, "Do you want to eat lotus root box?"
Qin Jiahuai casually asked, "Liquid coupling or magnetic coupling?"
Chu Yao: "...The salty kind is stuffed with meat filling, coated with starch and fried. The sweet kind is stuffed with glutinous rice in the middle and soaked in sweet osmanthus sauce. You can call it osmanthus lotus root..."
The two were chatting idly when a strange voice suddenly came from behind them: "Hey, why are you here?"
Chu Yao looked back.
It was a boy who looked about the same age as them, well-mannered and wearing glasses.
Chu Yao looked confused and had no idea who it was.
