When Wang Pengyi was in junior high school, his father bought a piece of land on the mountain and opened a small quarry. It was closed down not long after due to environmental protection requirements. But over the years, Wang Pengyi has been paying water and electricity bills for the abandoned factory address.
Wang Pengyi failed to get into high school and only went to a technical school. He worked several jobs but the income was not high and they could not last long.
Later, he simply stopped working and lived on the rental income from his old house.
Wang Pengyi married a beautiful woman with high education and high income. No one knows how they got together.
They divorced after six months of marriage.
Later, the old house was demolished and the family had to pay three houses and millions in demolition compensation. Usually, Wang Pengyi lives in one of the houses in the city, and only occasionally spends the night in the abandoned factory.
During these three years, he abducted, tortured, and killed five deaf-mute girls aged between 16 and 25, including Zhen Rongrong.
Zeng Xi is the sixth and only survivor. DNA tests have confirmed that there are four victims buried under the tree. The remains of the first victim are nowhere to be found.
However, once he fell into the hands of the police, Wang Pengyi immediately became trembling and fearful, like a frightened bird.
He confessed to the crime he committed and begged the police for leniency.
What awaits him will be the most severe punishment of the law.
Why Wang Pengyi became obsessed with deaf-mute people and how he embarked on this criminal path is another deeply hidden past waiting for the police to unearth.

One week later…
Ruan Qingqing walked into the Municipal People's Hospital carrying two insulated lunch boxes.
Just as she arrived outside the ward, Luo Pingjiang's mother happened to come out. Seeing her again, Luo's mother immediately smiled with her eyes curved.
She was dressed simply, looked reserved and was not good at speaking. Every time she saw Ruan Qingqing, she just kept expressing her gratitude: "Here I am. Sorry to bother you again. Thank you so much..."
Facing such an elder, Ruan Qingqing's heart softened a little, and she had to say over and over again: "Auntie, it's okay, I'm free. It was Luo Pingjiang who saved me, so I should thank him."
Luo's mother: "Hey, Jiang Jiang's injury is fine, and you made soup for him again. You are really... so capable. You are so beautiful and kind-hearted!" Her smile became uncontrollable. Ruan Qingqing could only pretend to be stupid and quickly went into the ward.
The ward was not deserted.
In addition to the caregiver, several employees from Luo Pingjiang Hotel also came to visit the boss. They were all young girls and boys, and it was lively and bustling.
Luo Pingjiang was leaning back on the hospital bed, also smiling. But as soon as Ruan Qingqing walked in, his eyes followed her, causing everyone else to look over.
But someone remembered Ruan Qingqing. She was the foreman who arranged seats for Ruan Qingqing and Chen Muyun according to Luo Pingjiang's instructions last time. She smiled and said, "Ah, she is Mr. Luo's sister-in-law and Secretary Chen's girlfriend. She is so thoughtful."
Ruan Qingqing smiled at her and continued to serve soup without any explanation.
Luo Pingjiang glanced at the foreman and said, "Okay, I have nothing to do here and the store is busy, you guys can go back."
The staff left and the caregiver immediately went to have lunch, leaving only the two of them in the room.
Luo Pingjiang sat back like a kindergarten kid, waiting obediently for Ruan Qingqing to put the shelf on his bed in place, bring him the soup, and a box of tissues.
He has been drinking the soup cooked by Ruan Qingqing for three days. As the owner of a restaurant with the best business in the city, to be objective, to be honest, her level is very stable and really not that good.
Ruan Qingqing: "Is it delicious?"
Luo Pingjiang savored it for a moment before answering, "It tastes delicious and fresh. I like this light taste. But it's too much trouble for you."
Ruan Qingqing: "No trouble."
"By the way, how is the situation at the nursing home going?" Luo Pingjiang asked.
"I talked to my uncle, and he didn't dare to do anything rash anymore. He would wait until the other party made a contract that satisfied me before signing it." Ruan Qingqing said, "We are lucky. The municipal government has also paid attention to our center. There will be a relatively large charity organization that will accept our children.
In addition, after my "communication", my uncle promised to donate part of his income to charity organizations. Actually, this is all thanks to you. "She was referring to the incident in which Zheng Tao tricked her into signing the authorization form.
"No thanks, it's just a coincidence."
Ruan Qingqing lowered her head and said, "Come to think of it, I've always said thank you to you since we first met."
Luo Pingjiang was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "Then do you want to pledge your love to me?"
Ruan Qingqing said nothing and began to clean up the bowl of soup he had finished. He grabbed her wrist. She struggled but couldn't get away. He said, "You rejected me harshly. He was the one who got out. We have a clear conscience."
Ruan Qingqing thought: But I am not completely clear in my conscience.
"Are you afraid of embarrassment?" he asked again.
Ruan Qingqing held her hand in his palm and asked, "Aren't you embarrassed at all?"
Luo Pingjiang shook his head: "The people in your center all think of me as a nouveau riche who is enthusiastic about public welfare. The employees in my hotel all think of you as my brother and sister.
However, compared to being able to be with you, other people's opinions and comments are not important. Actually, it doesn’t matter if you let me wait any longer. There won't be anyone else, Qingqing, you understand. ”
He said there would be no one else. She understood as soon as he said it.
In his heart, between the two of them.
Ruan Qingqing found it very strange. She was a person who seldom cried, but when she was with him, she would easily shed tears.
"Then you'd better not wait any longer." Ruan Qingqing raised her clear eyes and looked at him, "I don't want to make you wait any longer."
At this moment, his eyes were bottomless, his Adam's apple moved silently, he put his arms around her, lowered his head and kissed her long hair, and whispered in her ear:
"Then try everything with me? Qingqing, I should not let you down."
When Ruan Qingqing walked out of the inpatient department, she was still a little dazed, as if her feet were stepping on cotton, and her head was hot and swollen. She had never felt this way before.
Just as I walked under the shade of the tree, a familiar voice called out, "Qingqing."
Chen Muyun stood under the tree, looking at her with a complicated expression.
After not seeing him for more than ten days, he looked much more haggard, his face became thinner and his complexion did not look good. During that time he called her many times, but she never answered.
"Are you still angry with me?" Chen Muyun asked.
Ruan Qingqing: "No. Are you healed?"
Chen Muyun's eyes lit up and he quickly replied, "Okay. How have you been these days?"
Ruan Qingqing didn't want to answer anymore and was about to leave. Chen Muyun rushed over to stop her, looking anxious and angry: "Qingqing, I know that it was Luo Pingjiang who risked his life to save you. I also know that you have been visiting him every day recently. You, you and him..."
Ruan Qingqing stood still and said, "Yes, I am with him."
Chen Muyun's face changed drastically: "How can you be with him? He is my cousin! He saved you, and you were moved? I knew... What he said on the last phone call was not right! He is actually this kind of person! Are you dizzy, Qingqing! Are you deliberately trying to take revenge on me?"
Ruan Qingqing looked at this man who had given all his youth and passion, pursued her for three years and had been together for a year, and felt that he was completely unrecognizable.
She didn't even want to say a word to him, but he still didn't let her go. He grabbed her arm and said, "Qingqing, are you blaming me for not coming to save you? I had no choice. I was knocked unconscious by the murderer. You saw it at the time.
I was sent to the hospital and woke up the next afternoon. By then you had already been rescued. If I were awake, I would definitely find a way to save you. I wouldn't be slower than him! ”
Ruan Qingqing looked into his eyes. She believed that what he said was sincere and full of self-admiration and selflessness. But she only asked one question: "Who took you to the hospital?"
Chen Muyun paused.
"She must have taken good care of you these days. Now that you come to see me, have you considered her feelings?"
Chen Muyun's expression changed again and again.
Ruan Qingqing sighed.
In the past few days, she and Luo Pingjiang reviewed the entire crime process of the deaf-mute serial killer Wang Pengyi, as well as everything that happened after she was abducted.
When Luo Pingjiang mentioned it, someone pretended to be her and answered Chen Muyun's phone to report that she was safe. She immediately thought of Ruan Qingling, and understood that Luo Pingjiang had also guessed it the first time.
But now, this indecisive man still stood in front of her without knowing anything.
After knowing each other for four years, Ruan Qingqing had never understood as clearly as she did now that Chen Muyun and she were not the same kind of people at all.
However, Chen Muyun was calm and decisive. He said, "Qingqing, I love you, from the beginning to the end. I will not associate with her anymore."
Ruan Qingqing shook her head: "You cheated on me with a woman. When I was in the most dangerous time, you were with her. She wanted to kill me. Chen Muyun, we can't be together anymore."
"I don't understand what you are saying! Why would she want to kill you?"
"Of course you don't understand, because you don't want to understand. Go back and find out what she did while you were unconscious."
