Chapter 35

When I saw Tan Yang's red and swollen backside after he took off his pants in the bathroom, I was stunned! I will never forget that scene for the rest of my life!

Although I only had a vague knowledge of those things at the time, even if I were any stupider, I could see that that son of a bitch had done something very bad to Tan Yang!

After Tan Yang showed me his injury, he seemed to collapse even more. He just grabbed my hand tightly in the bathroom and cried: "Brother Shan! What should I do? Hu Feng said I have to be on call whenever he wants, and he also warned me not to tell anyone, otherwise, otherwise he would have people outside mess with my sister! What should I do? I'm so scared, I'm in so much pain! But I have no choice, his family has money, has power... woooooo!"

Do you know? How angry I was at the time! I wanted to poison Hu Feng just like I killed the old man! But I couldn't get poison in prison, so I thought about hiding a tool while working, even an iron nail would do!

Heh heh! Later, I really managed to steal a large iron nail! I hid it in my mouth, and that night, taking advantage of Hu Feng going to take a shower, I quietly followed him!

It's just that I thought everything was too simple!

When I arrived at the bathhouse and saw Hu Feng taking a shower alone, I didn't even think and rushed over with the iron nail clamped between my knuckles!

Heh heh, thinking about it now, I was really a fool with courage back then.

That iron nail only poked a small hole in Hu Feng's thick waist, but I was the one who suffered! Hu Feng was tall and strong, and the few lackeys who were inseparable from him immediately rushed in after hearing his call..."

Liu Baoshan said this, and there seemed to be a flame burning in his eyes! "My goal of venting for Tan Yang wasn't achieved, but from then on, I was met with even more intensified abuse from Hu Feng!"

Liu Baoshan's body arched tensely like a frightened wild cat!

Gu Changzheng guessed that Hu Feng must have also committed atrocities against him that day! And at that time, Liu Baoshan and Tan Yang, in the face of Hu Feng and the money and power behind him, seemed to have no choice but to submit!

Liu Baoshan raised his head, looked at Gu Changzheng, and said slowly: "That policeman was killed by me, the entire kidnapping case was planned by me, Ren Jiahe was indeed hijacked by me, and his death was also my doing. I admit all of this! Tan Yang is at most guilty of insulting a corpse, but as long as it's found out that he has mental problems, heh heh heh! Captain Gu, you should know better than me what will happen, right? Ah! Hahahaha!"

Gu Changzheng sighed inwardly. It seemed that this Tan Yang's status in Liu Baoshan's heart was extremely important; he would never confess Tan Yang no matter what! And now, to prosecute Tan Yang, as Liu Baoshan said, they could only prosecute him for the crime of insulting a corpse. The police had no other evidence to prove that Tan Yang participated in the kidnapping case and the murder of Ren Jiahe.

It seems this is all that can be done now! Gu Changzheng glanced at Luo Fei. Luo Fei nodded knowingly and called the police officer on duty outside the door to take Liu Baoshan away.

In the office, Luo Fei looked at Gu Changzheng, who was still deep in thought, and said cautiously: "Captain Gu! The judicial appraisal results for Tan Yang's mental state are out."

"The result should be what Liu Baoshan wanted, right?" Gu Changzheng said indifferently.

He was not surprised that Tan Yang would be diagnosed with a mental illness! Perhaps Tan Yang had already been sick for a long time, and not lightly!

"Alright, he's to be handed over to the procuratorate tomorrow. You all should get some good rest." Gu Changzheng let out a long breath and said.

From the 6.21 case until now, more than half a month had passed, and Gu Changzheng hadn't really stayed at home properly. Fortunately, he was a bachelor, which saved him a lot of trouble from his family.

He remembered that he hadn't visited his Master for a long time, so seeing that it was still early, he dialed the home phone of his Master—the former Zizhen City Criminal Police Detachment Captain Lu Haoxuan, who had retired at home.

Not long after the ringing started, the phone was answered, and an elderly female voice came from the receiver: "Hello, is that Changzheng?"

Gu Changzheng felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this kind voice on the receiver. He said with a smile: "Master's wife, it's Changzheng. Are you and Master at home tonight? Can I come over and mooch a meal?"

"Did you calculate it, you brat, knowing I stewed chicken soup today? Haha! Come over! Come over! Old Lu was just about to call you over for dinner. He heard you just cracked a major case and was very excited at home, wanting to hear you talk about it!" Master's wife Wei Jie was a retired teacher. The two had only one daughter, who got into a university in the northern coastal city of Dao City during the college entrance examination and stayed there to work after graduation, so usually, it was just the old couple at home in Zizhen.

Gu Changzheng said happily: "I'll call and ask Jinquan in a while. If he's not busy, then the two of us will go over together! Is there enough chicken soup?"

Wei Jie had a gentle personality and a very good temper. Every time Gu Changzheng called his Master's wife, he always felt particularly relaxed, having a feeling of a child truly acting spoiled in front of an elder. He and Hu Jinquan were both brought up by Lu Haoxuan, and the few of them had a very good relationship, so every time he came to his Master's house, he always liked to invite Hu Jinquan.

Wei Jie agreed completely and said happily: "Come, both of you come. I just learned a few new dishes, come over and be my little white mice! Hahaha!"

Gu Changzheng felt warm in his heart. He happily said "Okay!", chatted with his Master's wife for a couple more sentences, and then dialed Hu Jinquan.

It just so happened that Hu Jinquan had a social engagement he didn't want to go to. Upon receiving Gu Changzheng's call, he logically pushed off the engagement, and the two agreed to go directly over after work.

Lu Haoxuan's house was located in the City Public Security Bureau's family compound, in the old city district of Jiangnan. The Jiangnan district belonged to the administrative and educational center of Zizhen City. Historically, it was the birthplace of Zizhen City's urban construction. Although the commercial atmosphere was not as strong as in Jiangdong, it had a historical weight that the Jiangdong district lacked, and the overall environment was also more peaceful and tidy.

At 6:30 PM, Gu Changzheng and Hu Jinquan appeared at the City Bureau's family compound exactly on time. Coincidentally, neither of them drove, and both were carrying two bottles of the same "Lang" brand white liquor in their hands.

"Haha! Old Gu, are we drinking your wine or mine today?" Hu Jinquan looked at the wine in Gu Changzheng's hand and laughed.

"Quick, quick, quick! Hurry upstairs. We agreed with Master and Master's wife to arrive before 6:40. If we're late, we'll get scolded. As for the wine, if not, let Master bleed a little and take out that bottle of iron-cap Five-Star; we'll taste that too!"

"That works! You tell Master in a while!"

The two were calculating their Master's old wine, and their feet weren't idle either. In less than three minutes, they had run from the compound gate to the home on the 3rd floor of Building 1 where Lu Haoxuan lived.

The two had just arrived at the door and hadn't even had time to knock when they saw that somewhat old iron door creak open from the inside. A dignified old man with a full head of silver hair, a tall stature, a ruddy complexion, wearing a white undershirt, dark blue trousers, and slippers appeared at the door.
