Chapter 382

The man played dumb and didn't bother with Chen Fan.

Chen Fan continued, "Mm, let me see. No one can lie in front of me. It's fine if you won't talk—it's easy enough to investigate."

Zhang Tianxiong had the person put into the car. Chen Fan turned to Li Tian and said, "Right, be careful."

Before Li Tian could figure it out, he saw a girl rush in with a stick and bring it down right on his head.

Li Tian, beaten half speechless, collapsed to the ground and passed out.

Chen Fan looked at the woman and said, "Don't force me to use my hands."

"I'm going to kill all of you."

The woman swung the stick at him. Chen Fan raised his hand and slapped her.

The woman was stunned by the slap. She stared at Chen Fan and said, "You—"

"Plenty of bad habits. Who told you I couldn't hit back?"

Chen Fan restrained the woman on the spot. When Zhang Tianxiong returned, they locked her up again.

The brother and sister had, in effect, been caught.

By the time Li Tian came to, he was already in the hospital. He rubbed the back of his head and said, 'Where are they, where are they? Damn—assaulting an officer, that's assaulting an officer!'

Chen Fan said nothing, then quietly said, "Here, have an orange."

"Get lost, stop taking advantage of me. Wait—no, something's off. That brother did it on purpose. That guy was deliberately waiting for us to come."

Chen Fan said nothing.

"This girl killed someone too—no, this girl definitely killed someone. No, this girl probably didn't kill anyone. It was the brother who killed. The girl just wanted to leave with her brother."

Li Tian got up, yanked the pillow off himself, and said, "Let's go, back to interrogation. Damn it, I have to get to the bottom of this, otherwise I got beat up for nothing."

The group returned to the police station, with the cameraman following them the whole way.

The audience was going absolutely wild. In just those two hours, far too many unbelievable things had happened.

Chen Fan's playing card had sliced through a hunting rifle.

When the police moved in to arrest, they really just piled on all at once, swarming straight over.

The girl had attacked the police to save her brother.

The brother had stepped forward on his own to take the blame, to protect his sister?

Too many, far too many mysteries, all waiting for everyone.

Meanwhile, in the observation room, no one spoke, all waiting to see how the case would unfold next.

Chen Fan and Li Tian sat in the interrogation room.

Chen Fan was signing in sign language. On this side, the brother only spoke one sentence the entire time.

"I killed them all."

One very simple sentence, and it summed up everything.

Li Tian stood up at once and said, "Goodbye. If you won't talk, then don't. I'll just go ask your sister."

The man broke free, stared hard at Li Tian, and gestured with his hands.

"If you dare go, I'll kill all of you."

Li Tian translated for him, and even added some interjections of his own.

Li Tian was speechless. Translate if you must, but why are you adding interjections? Damn it.

Li Tian said, "You wouldn't talk yourself, so don't blame me."

The man began to struggle hard.

Chen Fan and Li Tian stared at the man, and then they saw him—crack! —snap his own wrist.

No shout, no scream, but sweat streamed down his forehead.

Chen Fan and Li Tian were utterly speechless. They called the medical staff over to treat the man's wound.

"I'm begging you, don't go ask my sister about this."

Li Tian's heart softened this time. He sat down and said, "Tell me, what exactly happened."

The man signed out a very, very long story.

These two were, in fact, the factory boss's adopted children.

The reason they were adopted was that, after their parents passed away, the two of them had been entrusted to this boss.

But the boss's intentions weren't pure. The brother got his sister out of there—she lived at school, and during holidays she'd stay in hotels and the like.

The boss was furious, and would often beat the brother, but the brother never made a sound.

But once, the boss actually choked his own sister's neck, and nearly raped her. The brother couldn't hold back any longer and beat up the boss.

The boss didn't dare tell anyone, just kept his head down, endured it, and kept paying the brother his wages.

But tragedy still struck. The sister's close friend drugged her, and she was raped by another man.

The man who raped her was that sixteen-year-old kid from before.

The man confessed that he had first killed this boy—tied him up with rope, then smashed his head in.

After bashing it in, he watched the man slowly bleed out, tormenting him bit by bit.

The man spoke very calmly, but everyone who heard it found it deeply shocking.

The hatred was simply too great.

In the observation room, Qin Ming said, "Sigh, the cases I fear most are exactly these—revenge. It's truly an Engraving of the moral code in everyone's heart."

Then Teacher Luo said, "That earlier case of insulting a mother also drew a lot of moral condemnation. Sigh, with cases like these, there's no way to keep the scales perfectly balanced."

Back at the scene, Li Tian was asking why the boy's father suspected the boss.

The brother explained that the boss had found out about his sister being raped.

Because the boss had gotten together with the sister's best friend.

"You killed the boss?"

"No, I never planned to kill the boss. I killed that woman. I tied the boss to the train and let the train crush his legs. I also want the factory to pay for my sister's college. I want to torment this boss every day."

Li Tian said, "That's not right. No one would be threatened like that."

"That Miss is young, the boss is old. If word about the two of them got out, the boss wouldn't have an easy time of it."

For the sake of reputation, he endured the torment?

This boss really did care more about face than life.

Chen Fan asked, "How did you torment him?"

The brother said, "Periodically send some delivered items, then scatter some glass shards near his house. When he got off the ground and fell, I'd cut up the wound on his leg. He didn't know I did it—he'd just be annoyed that his leg was gone, thinking he'd done it himself by accident."

"How often do you go?"

"Not sure. When I thought of it, got angry, I'd sneak over once."

The brother's calm words sent a chill down people's backs.

At this point Chen Fan stood up directly and said, "We can agree not to discuss this matter with your sister, but you did assault a police officer after all, so we still need to question you."

The brother silently nodded.

Chen Fan and Li Tian found the sister.

Chen Fan didn't hesitate and said directly, "Your brother has confessed to the murder…"

The sister said, "I'm the one who killed someone. I'm the one who killed someone. I did it."

Li Tian said, "How did you kill them? Why did you kill them?"

067 — Would you actually keep a promise made to a criminal?

The answer is no. This is reality, not a movie. No one gives criminals any promises.

What needs to be questioned needs to be questioned.

The woman confessed to her own killing, which was pretty much the same as what her brother had said.

But when it came to her best friend, the woman said something different.

Some very detailed things.

The answer came out at this point.

This sister killed her best friend.

This brother killed the boss and also that dead young man.

Both siblings had killed someone, but both wanted to take the blame for the other.

Chen Fan and Li Tian looked at each other.

Li Tian said, "You go. I'll handle the rest."
