Chapter 249

When Fang Yuan woke up, he found himself lying on a narrow bed. Everything here was so familiar: white walls, white sheets, white lights, the smell of disinfectant that always permeated the air...

He smiled bitterly silently. It seemed that his remnant body still had to rely on this world for a few days, slowly rotting away, disappearing...

"Captain Gu, he's awake."

Fang Yuan closed his eyes slightly. He knew it must be that detachment captain. Since his attempt to seek death failed, he still had to face him in the end. Feeling that person come to his side, he opened his eyes, and a somewhat haggard man's face appeared in front of him.

"Awake?" Gu Changzheng asked a rhetorical question, and with this, he started the conversation between the two.

"En!" Fang Yuan gave a light "En", his body moved slightly, and a burst of coldness came from his right wrist. That was the unique coolness of metal. He then looked around. This was a single ward, a hospital bed, a low table. At the door, a man in a police uniform sat straight on a stool near the door. And Gu Changzheng in front of him was in plain clothes, sitting on a chair in front of the hospital bed looking at him. Behind him was another young policeman in a police uniform, with a video camera set up beside him.

"Zhang Xiaodong is dead." Gu Changzheng's first sentence confirmed the news of Zhang Xiaodong's death to him.

"Uh---!" Fang Yuan's body shook, his eyes staring at the square lampshade on the ceiling. The strong white light pierced into his eyes, and he suddenly felt a vast whiteness in front of him.

When Gu Changzheng suddenly left the interrogation room, he already felt something was wrong. When the police took him out of the detention center, he knew something must have happened! Sure enough, not long after, Zhang Xiaodong's call came. From the phone, he guessed that Zhang Xiaodong should have held Lin Xiaoxue hostage.

The thing that worried him most still happened. Zhang Xiaodong didn't listen to his arrangements but chose to jump out actively. He knew Zhang Xiaodong wanted to prove that he was the real murderer, hoping to clear his name. While he was greatly moved in his heart, he also knew that both he and Zhang Xiaodong were ruined. He couldn't protect Zhang Xiaodong, and Zhang Xiaodong couldn't possibly save him at all!

But he still held a glimmer of hope. Anyway, he was a person bound to die, and Zhang Xiaodong, a schizophrenic patient, perhaps could still save a life!

It was just that when the gunshot reached his ears through the phone, he knew Zhang Xiaodong was in bad shape! For a moment, anxious and desperate, he bit his teeth hard. There was a newly filled tooth there!

The investigator responsible for escorting him noticed his abnormality, hurriedly summoned his companion, and forcibly pried open his mouth...

After being sent to the hospital, it was learned that he had hidden a small pill in a filled tooth in advance, and the pill was wrapped in zinc phosphide! This drug would produce highly toxic phosphine under the action of gastric acid. Taking 2-5 grams orally could be fatal!

Fortunately, the investigator beside him was experienced and discovered it in time, sending him to the hospital for gastric lavage and rescue, which saved his life.

Stunned for about five minutes, and Gu Changzheng had been staring at him for five minutes, Fang Yuan then laughed "Hahahaha!": "Xiaodong, you still ran ahead of me!"

Gu Changzheng waited for him to finish laughing and said seriously: "Fang Yuan! Things have come to this, so many people have already died, you should tell everything, right!"

"Heh heh, I know that everything I did is unforgivable, but those villains, the things they did are difficult to be punished, and even if I choose to ruin my future to publish everything, she would only receive some painless moral condemnation, and the price is that she ruins us again!"

Gu Changzheng listened to his ambiguous words, knowing that he was referring to the things Zhou Hui had done to him and Zhang Xiaodong, but those girls! Why did they kill those girls?

"What reason do you have, what power do you have to kill those girls? If Zhou Hui's behavior towards you is a kind of harm, then as people who have been harmed, must you retaliate against this society by harming others even more? You say Zhou Hui's evil deeds towards you will not be sanctioned by law, but have you ever thought about using legal weapons?"

Gu Changzheng's words made Fang Yuan fall into silence. He opened his mouth slightly, his eyes empty! Perhaps at this moment he thought that perhaps he didn't need such extreme means to punish that old witch! But! His terminal illness, Zhang Xiaodong's appearance as neither human nor ghost, these floated in his mind again, throwing the doubt about his past decisions that had just appeared in his mind to the back of his head.

A cold look appeared in his eyes, and he smiled: "I believe you also know that my life has come to an end. I have nothing to be afraid of. Xiaodong is gone too, and the only person in this world who can make me worry is gone. Up to now, indeed, I can tell you the truth!"

A kind of desire appeared in Gu Changzheng's eyes. Fang Yuan said: "Captain Gu, you are nothing more than this!"

Gu Changzheng frowned, wanting to say something, but suddenly seemed to understand the meaning of his words. For a moment, he was actually somewhat dazed. After being stunned for a second, he said: "I want to get the truth, hoping that those departed lives can rest in peace, and even more hoping that all this can get an objective evaluation. Perhaps at some times, you and Zhang Xiaodong were indeed in a situation that needed social attention. Perhaps, our law enforcement agencies indeed have places where they didn't do enough. But only by knowing the truth can the law punish those past evils! And only the truth can comfort the dead..."

"Heh heh! I once believed that this world was black is black, white is white, but later I found that this world is extremely terrifying! No sincerity, no compassion, no beauty. People never trust each other completely, and everywhere is full of deception and calculation. Greed, desire, and despicableness surround us! After I was abandoned by the person who gave birth to me, I came to the embrace of a hypocritical demon. I was humiliated and played with since I was a child, but I never knew there was justice and law in this world! When I finally had a little partner who was as miserable as me, he was designed to become neither human nor ghost because he witnessed the evil deeds of that demon! And the woman he truly loved and cared for was an accomplice! Not only did they not stand up to say a word for him, but they helped that demon humiliate him!"

"At that time, what we felt every day, every minute, was only despair and fear! So we only had to choose to disguise ourselves, to try our best to please that demon, like a beast, without dignity, without bottom line! Just to get enough time to realize our plan! Hahaha! In order to punish those people, we called the plan 'Bloody September', which was the plan to kill them all in September!"

"Your inference is correct, I am not the only killer. We cooperated with each other. From a certain point of view, we are also one person. When I was working at the hospital, he appeared in the public's field of vision, tracking, finding the life trajectory of the target to be killed, etc., which was done by another person, and the one specifically responsible for the execution was me! The two women killed earliest were indeed chosen randomly. The purpose was twofold: one was to practice, and the other was to disrupt the police's thinking and delay time."

"Xia Fei, because she was in the same hospital as me, in order to avoid accidents in the later killing plan, she became the first person to be killed. On September 23rd, she happened to be on the same shift as me. I saw that she didn't seem to have anything else to do after work, so I asked her to eat together. Because we were both from the same orphanage, she had no precautions against me, so very smoothly, after I treated her to dinner, I made an excuse to send her home. Our dormitory buildings were in the same unit, so I naturally sent her to the door, and then, in her house, I controlled her and killed her!"

At this time, an unusual flush appeared on Fang Yuan's face lying on the hospital bed, as if extremely excited. Only heard him continue: "I didn't expect that the feeling of killing this time was completely different from the first two times, making me very excited, so much so that, so much so that I hadn't had time to..."

Gu Changzheng looked at him with disgust, thinking in his heart: How did this person become a ghost?
