Chapter 14 Restore the true colors
() Not to mention, Lazi really started to confess.
Lazi said:
"At the beginning of the year, after I was dealt with by the Jiangnan Police Station for making counterfeit wine, I went home thinking about being unconvinced and feeling angry inside. I kept thinking about who reported me?
Therefore, every night, I lay in bed and thought: Who is it? I analyzed one by one: the owner of the hotel has an interest relationship with me, so it is impossible to report me; is it the workers I hired who said it?
This is impossible. They are all honest farmers. I pay them wages and they are too late to be grateful. Is there any need to report me?
This person has a grudge against me! Yes! He has a grudge!
He must be my enemy, and I can count several of my enemies one by one: The family behind my house had a fight and even went to the police station to cause trouble because of the foundation of the house. This person is possible, but
He is timid and afraid of getting into trouble. After the last fight, he has never argued with himself over the foundation of the house. This does not seem to be the case. Could it be the village chief? The village chief told me several times not to make fake wine, saying
This is a shameful thing. You can't make this kind of money. Damn it, I won't offend you. I just made fake wine, how can you take advantage of me? Didn't I give you a cigarette during the Chinese New Year?
, will you report me? It doesn’t make sense. Old man Zhang from the east of the village? He comes here to hang out when he has nothing to do. Is he here to investigate? It’s not like that. His family is extremely poor. Every time he comes here, he just asks for a cigarette.
, how does he look like a whistleblower? He is just a whistleblower. Who would believe what this bad old man says?...
One night, I happened to pass by the supply and marketing cooperative. When I walked near Liu Haiyang's shop, I heard someone quarreling inside:
"I told you not to sell Lazi wine. I said there was something wrong with the wine, but you didn't believe it. It's better now. Someone came to your door today to argue!" A female voice must have been Liu Haiyang's wife.
When I saw him being mentioned, I hid outside the door and continued to eavesdrop.
"You can't say that. Last time the police station came to investigate, didn't they deduct our wine? Besides, we also made money." Liu Haiyang disagreed with his wife's point of view.
"Make money, make money, is it possible to make this kind of shady money? I'm afraid that if you have the ability to make money, you won't have the ability to spend it!" A woman's voice said.
The woman couldn't understand her hatred and continued: "Also, it would be terrible if Lazi knew about your incident."
"Stop it, don't talk nonsense, in case there are ears next door." Liu Haiyang quickly stopped him.
The woman snorted and did not continue.
When I heard the sound of footsteps, I knew it was Liu Haiyang who came out to see if there was anyone outside. I was afraid of being discovered, so I left quickly.
After I got home, I was in bed, thinking over and over again, and my head was spinning. Is there anything they want me to know that is so important? What secrets do the couple have that they can’t let me know? No, that’s it.
Did you get fake wine from my place? Many people know this.
Wait, something doesn’t seem right. Why didn’t the police seize the fake wine when they came to his store? Why is there still fake wine for sale in his house? This is not normal, it’s so abnormal, there must be something wrong. It’s him! He must be the one who reported it
Oh my! The more I think about it, the more suspicious Liu Haiyang becomes. The more I think about it, the more I feel like it was Liu Haiyang who reported me.
This bitch, I sold you fake wine, you made money, and I lost money. It was obviously you who reported it!
As I became suspicious, I always looked at Liu Haiyang with displeasure. I always felt that he was a thorn in my side, and I felt uncomfortable no matter how I looked at him. Sometimes I would go outside Liu Haiyang's shop at night to eavesdrop. I went there several times, but I didn't overhear anything.
As time goes by, I feel like Liu Haiyang is the stone weighing on my heart! The pressure makes me breathless! I must move this stone! I can't let him live so comfortably!"
Lazi continued to explain:
I first thought about going to the house and killing Liu Haiyang myself, but then I considered that I might not be able to beat them as a couple, and maybe I would be the one injured in the end! So I thought of hiring someone. Anyway, I have money, so I don’t need this little money.
!
So I found my old cousin Hunchback, who didn't agree at first, saying that helping me with fights was fine, but killing people wasn't an option, and he wouldn't do that. So I had to find someone else."
"Then who did you find?" asked Professor Liu.
"A Jin from North Street." Lazi replied.
"Why are you looking for A Jin?" Professor Liu continued to ask.
"Not only does Ah Jin know how to fight, but he is also very vicious. Furthermore, he has been imprisoned and has no fear of anything. The key is that he is poor and has no money. If I give him money, he will probably agree."
"Go on." Professor Liu's voice came out.
"I found Ah Jin and offered him 10,000 yuan, but he refused to agree. I was afraid that he thought it was too little, so I increased it to 15,000 yuan, but he still refused to agree. I had no choice but to go home by myself.
A few days later, my old cousin came to me and said he was willing to do it.
I felt strange and asked, "Aren't you unwilling to do it?"
My old cousin said: "I have been struggling recently, I lost a lot of money, and I was chased by others for money. I had no choice but to do it."
"We started negotiating the price and agreed on 15,000. The old cousin said, what if his (Liu Haiyang's) wife is there?"
"Then let's kill them too!"
"Kill them together? That's three lives. I heard that his wife is pregnant and has a child in her belly, so that's one life. You have to add some money, give her 30,000. Otherwise I won't do it."
To cut the grass, you have to get rid of the roots! Thirty thousand is thirty thousand! I will risk it all!
Later, my old cousin said that he couldn't do this alone and had to ask a few people to help. I asked who to ask for help, and he said it was his iron brothers: Hanako and Jelly. These two people have the best relationship with him. Listen to him.
What he says is what he says, and what he says is done.
I also felt that things would be easier to do when there were more people, and the chances of success would be greater. Seeing that my cousin didn’t mention adding more money, I agreed.
Afterwards, we went to the county town to buy gloves, dog-head hats, axes, and ropes, and then went to the back mountain to try the axes. We felt the effect was good, so we decided to start in the early morning of March 26th. You all know what happened next."
Lazi finally finished speaking.
"Did you arrive at the scene on the night of the crime?" asked Professor Liu.
"No, I was afraid that you would check my time, so I didn't dare to go." Lazi replied.
"Have you ever stepped on it before?
"No, they are all people nearby. They know where they are. Where should I step on them?"
"Is there any other reason why you killed Liu Haiyang?"
"No, that's the reason. He caused me to go to jail and pay money, so I can't let him go."
"Then why did he kill his wife?"
"Cut the grass and roots to prevent his family from taking revenge on me."
Having said this, I thought of a question and asked, "When I came to your house, why did I find that there was only one person at home?"
"I killed Liu Haiyang's whole family. I was afraid that his family would retaliate against my family, so I found a reason to fight with my wife. She went back to her parents' home in anger."
Oh I see.
This human nature has not been completely wiped out!
Professor Liu continued to ask relevant questions, and I continued to listen quietly. The transcript was not completed until 2:30 in the afternoon.
Chapter completed!
