Volume Four: From Afar Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety-Eight: Three Brothers
Sun Yu's question made Duan Heng hesitate for a moment. He never thought that Sun Yu would ask such a question.
Following Sun Yu's questions, Duan Heng's door to memories gradually opened.
That year, they were the most eye-catching top students in Anhe County No. 1 Middle School. The three of them always occupied the top three positions in their grade, always looking down on their pursuers.
The three of them are all geniuses, and geniuses should not admit defeat to each other, but Duan Heng and Guo Peihao both consider themselves inferior to Li Dong, because Li Dong is the first in every subject.
The three of them learned the plot in the book and became sworn brothers in the bamboo forest next to the playground, making a vow between men.
That year, they saw the beautiful Xu Qingqiu outside the school. At that moment, their eldest brother Li Dong fell deeply in love with this man.
Beauty is a disaster!
This was Duan Heng and Guo Peihao's evaluation of Xu Qingqiu, because in that summer, something happened that only the three of them knew about.
A young gangster fell in love with Xu Qingqiu and asked someone to send love letters and snacks to Xu Qingqiu every day, leaving the school beauty at a loss.
Li Dong, who had a crush on Xu Qingqiu, found out about this. In order to help Xu Qingqiu eliminate his troubles, he decided to teach the little gangster a lesson.
So, three energetic young men blocked the young gangster's path and decided to give him a good beating.
Fighting and studying are two different things. The young gangster with rich fighting experience beat the three of them to the ground, and finally took out a switchblade to leave a mark on the three of them.
The incident was instigated by Li Dong. He was the eldest brother among the three. He stood directly in front of Duan Heng and Guo Peihao, saying that he would bear the wrath of the gangster alone.
At that moment, Duan Heng was scared and so was Guo Peihao. They watched with their own eyes as the gangster stabbed Li Dong three times in the abdomen and finally walked away.
Duan Heng will never forget the contemptuous look the gangster looked at him and Guo Peihao before leaving. At least at that moment, Duan Heng and Guo Peihao were cowards!
The blade of the switchblade is very short, so it shouldn't have any big impact. However, when the two of them took Li Dong to the hospital, they realized that Li Dong would never be a man again in his life.
This blow was fatal to Li Dong!
Out of the dignity of a genius, Li Dong prohibited the two of them from telling anyone about this incident, including his family.
Fortunately, Li Dong's parents have been working away from home for a long time and only come back during the Chinese New Year. It is impossible to know what happened to Li Dong.
Then Li Dong mysteriously dropped out of school. Only Duan Heng and Guo Peihao knew that Li Dong was secretly recuperating, not only from physical injuries, but also from mental injuries.
Not being able to be a man is a fatal blow to any man, let alone a genius who once stood at the top of the pyramid.
From then on, Li Dong gave up his studies. What made Duan Heng and Guo Peihao happy was that Li Dong still regarded them as brothers, but they could never forget their guilt for Li Dong.
If they had been braver that day, if they could have taken the blow for Li Dong that day, would the ending have been different?
In the summer of the second year, Duan Heng and Guo Peihao received admission notices that were envied by countless students, while Li Dong had become an inconspicuous vendor outside Xu Qingqiu's school.
Yes, even though Li Dong is dead, he still loves Xu Qingqiu deeply. His physical disability and strong self-esteem make him destined to only watch her silently in the dark.
Another incident happened in the summer of this year. The little gangster who made Li Dong a cripple accidentally drowned while swimming in the river.
Later, Duan Heng and Guo Peihao went abroad to study. Although they all left their contact information, Li Dong never took the initiative to contact them.
Regarding the messages they sent and the phone calls they made, Li Dong was just perfunctory. They only knew one thing, Li Dong still loved that woman.
Until three months ago, Li Dong suddenly called.
Duan Heng remembered clearly that that night, Li Dong's voice was hoarse and crying, and he only said one sentence - Xu Qingqiu, he is dead!
Duan Heng knew that Li Dong would definitely take revenge. This time, he did not choose to escape because he finally had a chance to relieve his knot.
Guo Peihao thinks so too.
They spent a day discussing a perfect revenge and an accidental murder plan.
Duan Heng had to admit that geniuses are always geniuses. Li Dong's plan was so detailed that it was completely unlike what an auxiliary police officer could come up with.
At the end of the whole plan, none of the three people left any evidence and escaped unscathed. Is this the so-called perfect crime?
······
Duan Heng naturally wouldn't say that much about Sun Yu. He pretended to be trying to remember, "Li Dong? How should I say it? I can't remember clearly."
"Tan Jiaxiang is dead." Sun Yu said suddenly.
Judging from Duan Heng's paused expression, those who interrogated him last night did not tell him about this.
Duan Heng took a long breath, with an expression of relief on his face. He smiled at Sun Yu, "Don't you want to know where I was yesterday morning? I was at the Xinfei Massage Shop on Wutong Street with the technician Xiaofei there.
Together."
Sure enough, it came!
Sun Yu smiled coldly, "Why did you cooperate with us in answering questions as soon as you heard that Tan Jiaxiang was dead?"
Duan Heng pointed to his chest, "I don't know who Tan Jiaxiang is. I thought you were threatening me with death. After all, I was almost beaten to death by your people last night."
With such a smooth flow, Sun Yu secretly sighed at Duan Heng's reaction ability. He no longer wanted to ask for alibi from other times. Duan Heng must have planned it all.
Meng Yuan disagreed. He asked Kang Yanzhong where Heng was when he died, and Duan Heng said he was still at Xinfei Massage Shop.
Sun Yu cursed in his heart. The person who took action at that time was Li Dong. Duan Heng or Guo Peihao could at most help him stop Liu Rui's car. This alibi was too easy to create.
Meng Yuan asked Li Shantian where Duan Heng was when the accident happened.
Duan Heng said that he was either at a massage parlor or where he lived. He had a habit of asking a restaurant on the street to deliver takeout at nine o'clock every night.
Sun Yu lit a cigarette and leaned on the chair, unable to help but shake his head.
He finally understood why Duan Heng wanted to burn that computer. The computer was not a tool for controlling Shanling's new energy sports car, but a tool for Duan Heng to pretend to be his companion and support Li Shantian's son.
In order to prevent the police from finding clues, burning the computer is indeed the best way.
From this point of view, Li Dong is not only the mastermind, but also a mastermind who is unwilling to drag down his brother.
Except for the unknown person who killed Han Zhiyan, Li Dong should have killed the others personally. He did not let Duan Heng and Guo Peihao get a drop of blood.
So who is the fourth person? This is a matter of murder. Li Dong must leave it to the person he trusts most, right?
Suddenly, Sun Yu yelled "F*ck" and slapped himself on the forehead.
