After calculating everything, I never expected that the Killer was actually the son of the first person to report the incident. If Wang Fugui hadn't seen the body of the deceased Roland, he wouldn't have gone back to tell everyone about the specific details of the corpse. Consequently, Wang Xiaobao wouldn't have overheard this information and wouldn't have used such a method to kill Zheng Yunyun. Considering this, I can't help but wonder how Wang Fugui feels right now.
Now that we have identified the Killer, we must clarify Wang Xiaobao's motives. Did he act out of Passion Killing, unable to suppress his emotions after learning about the method, ultimately mimicking the act of murder? Or did he kill after careful consideration, driven by some unspeakable secret?
The Special Investigation Team entered the interrogation room and found us there. Wang Xiaobao did not appear flustered; compared to his parents, his composure was remarkable. We sat down in silence, and I stared intently at Wang Xiaobao, who returned my gaze without flinching.
In Wang Xiaobao's eyes, there was not a trace of guilt for having killed someone, nor any expression at all. This suddenly reminded me of Guo Guoqing. If Wang Xiaobao is a second Guo Guoqing, then we have a serious problem on our hands. With Boss Lady still missing and now this incident occurring, things are becoming increasingly complicated.
Wang Xiaobao was just an ordinary student; how could he remain unperturbed after committing murder? Have today's minors really become so emotionally resilient? Even adults feel uneasy when slaughtering pigs or cows, let alone taking a human life.
Could it be that they are truly fearless like a young calf, lacking even the most basic sense of reverence?
With this thought in mind, I couldn't help but ask, "Wang Xiaobao, did you kill Zheng Yunyun? How did you do it?"
Wang Xiaobao nodded and said, "Yes, I killed Sister Zheng Yunyun. Here's what happened: A few days ago, when my dad came home, he mentioned seeing a corpse. He didn't tell me much about it at first, but the next day many people asked him why he went to the police station. My dad explained what happened, and I was there listening when he talked about how that person died."
"I knew that Sister Zheng Yunyun rides her bike home every day at noon, so I waited for her in the middle of the road."
I continued to question him: "You left in the morning; what were you doing during that time?"
Wang Xiaobao's expression remained unchanged as he paused for a moment before replying, "I spent a long time thinking about this matter. I left in the morning because I needed to consider whether or not to go through with it and how to do it. I waited in the fields by the roadside until Sister Zheng Yunyun came back. Finally, I decided that I had to do it."
"Then why did you kill Zheng Yunyun?" I asked.
Wang Xiaobao replied, "I killed Zheng Yunyun because she wasn't a good girl. I have a good buddy in the village; although he's already twenty years old this year, he often hangs out with us at internet cafes and pays for our gaming time. To me, he's like an older brother."
"Once you call someone 'older brother,' they remain your older brother for life. Previously he was dating Zheng Yunyun; we all knew about it. Zheng Yunyun even came to internet cafes with us several times and said she was going to marry my brother. But a few months ago, she broke up with him."
"Later I found out that Zheng Yunyun got involved with someone from the city. I couldn't forgive her for that. Zheng Yunyun only chose him because my brother's family didn't have money. I later confronted Zheng Yunyun and called her a Bitch, but she just said I was a little kid and that adult matters were none of my business."
"I laughed; as brothers, we should be loyal to each other. If my brother couldn't handle certain matters himself, then it was up to me!"
I frowned as I listened to Wang Xiaobao's words; his reason for killing Zheng Yunyun seemed rooted in brotherly loyalty—a rationale that appeared somewhat childish compared to Guo Guoqing's case. It made me wonder where Wang Xiaobao learned such reasoning from; in his eyes, loyalty seemed more important than a person's life.
What was merely a normal breakup between a couple appeared to Wang Xiaobao as betrayal—a reflection of an immature worldview yet to be formed properly. In real life, we often see junior high school students getting into fights over loyalty among friends; they fight recklessly without regard for their own safety.
They wielded knives and baseball bats, swinging wildly without a thought that these objects could be lethal. All they cared about was defeating their opponents, and under such a warped perspective, the fights in Junior High School had the highest rates of fatalities and permanent injuries.
"Breaking up is a matter between two people, not just one. Besides, this is your brother's issue; what right do you have to interfere?" I asked.
Wang Xiaobao sneered at my words and replied, "You don't understand brotherhood because you don't have brothers. In this world, loyalty is everything. An older brother has his dignity; he wouldn't say anything about this matter. But as younger brothers, we must learn to share the burden with our older brother and understand what he is thinking. Only then can we become qualified younger brothers!"
"That afternoon, I finally waited for Zheng Yunyun," Wang Xiaobao continued. "I blocked her path, but she didn't see me suddenly jump out from the roadside and was so startled that she slammed on the brakes. Her driving skills were poor, and she ended up falling directly to the ground."
"It was as if heaven was helping me; I rolled over and pinned her down. Although she was five years older than me, she was no match for my strength. Under my control, she couldn't move at all. She questioned me about why I was doing this and threatened to call the police if I didn't get off her!"
"I told her that if she could continue being good to my brother, I would let her go. But if she remained stubborn, I would kill her. Unfortunately, she didn't believe me. She struggled to get away, but I certainly couldn't let her leave like that."
I frowned and said, "Then why did you rape her?"
Wang Xiaobao chuckled and replied, "At that time, I wanted to imitate the murder method from a previous case. Plus, I knew she had always been a virgin while dating my brother, so I wanted to see if she still was. In the end, I found out that Zheng Yunyun was no longer a virgin!"
"This is betrayal—naked betrayal! She gave her first time to that guy in town instead of my brother. So at that moment, I decided I had to kill her. I raped her; even though she struggled and screamed, there was no one around. It was noon; everyone was asleep and wouldn't notice anything here!"
"After raping her, she cried and said she would report me to the police. I then used a method I learned from my dad and slashed her throat with a knife. She struggled a few times before going still. Blood sprayed everywhere, soaking her clothes. I stripped her of her clothes and left them on the way here."
"Then I opened her mouth, cut off her tongue, and stuffed it inside her. I did this because my dad said it would help frame someone else for the crime. Although I didn't know who killed the last victim, I figured this way the police wouldn't suspect me."
"But then I thought about it—men should take responsibility for their actions alone. We can't just back down like this! If the police suspected my brother of this crime, wouldn't that just cause trouble for him? So after thinking for a long time, I decided to turn myself in!"
From Wang Xiaobao's words, it seemed he wasn't lying; the timing and details matched up well enough. But why did Wang Xiaobao come here? Why not report it in his village? That was another question, so I asked him, "Why did you come to the Police Department instead of somewhere else?"
Wang Xiaobao paused before saying, "My dad said he came to this place, so that's why I came here. Don't you handle things here?"
It turned out Wang Xiaobao came here for such a simple reason. Indeed, Wang Fugui had given his statement at the Police Department; if he mentioned its address too, that could explain it. Analyzing Wang Xiaobao's words further suggested that this case likely had nothing to do with Guo Guoqing—it seemed purely coincidental.
Wang Xiaobao killed out of loyalty to his friends and chose to use Guo Guoqing's method simply because Wang Fugui was the first person to discover the body; thus these two cases shouldn't be linked together. My concern was if this case were connected to Guo Guoqing; then Guo Guoqing must be plotting something significant.
"What is your brother's name?" I asked.
"My brother's name is Zheng Shicheng," Wang Xiaobao stated seriously. "But let me make it clear: this is something I've done alone—Wang Xiaobao alone! This has nothing to do with my brother at all; if I'm going down for this, then let it be on me!"
I was truly at a loss; this kind of worldview seemed to have deeply ingrained itself into Wang Xiaobao's values.
After exiting the interrogation room, I asked Yuzelin, "Ze Lin, what do you think?"
Yuzelin replied, "I feel that there shouldn't be any connection between Wang Xiaobao and Guo Guoqing; it should just be a coincidence. From Wang Xiaobao's words and his values, everything he does is out of brotherly loyalty, and what he said can be verified."
Yuzelin's thoughts were basically in line with mine, so I said, "Dezi, go contact the police officers at the station and find Zheng Shicheng from Zhengjia Village. Bring him to the Police Department for interrogation. Also, have Wang Xiaobao's parents come over. Let's detain Wang Xiaobao at the Police Department for now; once we clarify the situation, we can decide how to resolve it."
Dezi nodded in agreement.
I turned to Yuzelin and said, "The Police Department should also expedite the search for the missing Boss Lady."
"Understood," Yuzelin replied.
In the midst of this chaos, the story unfolded: The young master was coerced by the daughter of a cultivation family to become a son-in-law. In the stillness of night, with only the two of them present, the Busty Fairy suddenly reached out to caress the young man's back...
