Chapter 539

By now thoroughly drunk, Peng Xiaoran no longer cared about anything she had once said; squinting her eyes, she said, "Chen Fan, there's no bottom line in front of Chen Fan."

After saying that, Peng Xiaoran fell asleep just like that.

Leaving Ju Jingyi still wanting more.

……

The next morning, early.

Everyone ran into each other in the cafeteria.

Because she had drunk with Chen Fan yesterday, the moment Peng Xiaoran saw Chen Fan today, she couldn't help blushing and her heart racing.

But Chen Fan felt nothing about it, and just ate his food in big bites.

Not a single person among them brought up yesterday's case.

Before they had finished eating.

Li Tian walked over.

The moment everyone saw Li Tian, they figured another case must have happened.

"Go on, is there another case to handle?"

Old Liu asked.

Li Tian, for the first time ever, shook his head and said, "Not exactly. It's just that the owner of that apartment—the father of that girl's child—came to the police station on his own to turn himself in."

Huh?

This was truly a road never imagined.

Everyone put down their chopsticks and stared at Li Tian in shock.

Wasn't that man from a very wealthy family, and hadn't he already gone abroad?

Even if they wanted to catch him, it would have taken some time.

Who would have thought he'd actually come to the station to turn himself in?

"I know everyone finds it surprising, but it really is the case. That man's parents didn't know about this at first; it wasn't until they saw their own property online that they realized their own child had done such a thing."

"So they rushed back from the Ugly Country overnight, and brought their child back with them, saying they had to make their child pay the price."

Li Tian said.

"We're about to take that man to the first crime scene for him to identify it, so are you going?"

The moment the words fell.

Peng Xiaoran and Xiang Qinqin immediately stood up and said excitedly, "We're going!"

"What about the rest of you?"

Li Tian looked at everyone.

Everyone nodded one after another. Although this case wasn't all that mysterious, it had filled quite a few people with rage.

And so.

Everyone, including the cameraman, headed once more to that crime scene.

After the group arrived at the crime scene, they saw that man.

He wasn't much to look at—just an ordinary-looking person.

Peng Xiaoran quietly said to Ju Jingyi, "A man like this you could grab off the street by the handful—why would that girl be so devoted to him?"

Ju Jingyi also said she didn't understand.

But those words were overheard by Chen Fan.

Chen Fan said, "For celebrities like us, naturally we wouldn't be moved by ordinary people, but that girl herself was rather insecure. At school that man was a fairly eye-catching presence; the girl longed for someone like that, so naturally she would fall for him."

Peng Xiaoran and Ju Jingyi nodded.

Indeed.

They themselves were female celebrities, normally in contact with male celebrities, so they looked down on the looks of ordinary people.

The viewers in the livestream were furiously slamming that man in the barrage.

"So this is that monster? He looks just average, not even as good as me—and someone was devoted to him?"

"Upstairs, if you're comparing looks with a criminal, then you're really low."

"None of your damn business. I'm comparing with a criminal, I mean, a person like this doesn't deserve to be human!"

"Just give him the death sentence directly, let Chen Fan carry it out, how about it?"

"What's going on, why do you want Chen Fan to reward this man? He should be torn apart by five horses! And broadcast nationwide while they're at it."

"This guy is too disgusting to look at!"

……

Li Tian said to the man, "You'd better honestly tell the whole details of the matter."

The man's face was bruised and swollen, clearly having been beaten by his own parents; even if he didn't want to talk, now he had to.

The officers around him were all armed with real guns and live ammo.

"That day after she was tricked into coming over, I had my way with her. She resisted hard, even bit me. I got really angry, so I called my two buddies over, and we all had her together."

"At first I was pretty panicked too—after all, when a person like that disappears, her family, friends, and school would definitely look for her."

"But I didn't expect everyone just treated her as a missing person. That gave me courage, and I started doing whatever I wanted with her. Eventually I got tired of her too."

"I had a lot of twisted ideas. I wouldn't give her food, wouldn't give her water, forced her to drink her own urine, eat her own feces."

"She was tortured until she was barely alive, but she still refused to truly submit to me. I was furious, so I had that woman beat her."

"The other two saw me having so much fun, so they joined in too. We crazily poured cooking oil into her mouth, and used a lighter to ignite plastic, letting the plastic drip onto the back of her foot—you guys don't know how miserably she screamed."

"So miserably that the old man next door even came over and told us to keep it down. Gradually her wounds scabbed over. I really hated that feeling, so I had that woman tear her scabs off—she was in agony. By that time she was almost dead, her eyes filled with pain."

"But we couldn't stop. Later she really did die. I was a little scared too, but another person said that if we didn't deal with the body now, we'd all get caught."
