Chapter 125 - Fast food restaurant murder (1)
Chen Bai looked at Shan Tong's appearance, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and said with a sip.
"To be honest, I understand you a little. I have never felt anything about maternal love since I was a child. My father also regards you as a burden. It is really not easy for you to grow up, but life is like this, and there will never be any smooth sailing."
"What do you know!"
Shan Tong suddenly became very excited. He couldn't stand up but still patted the desktop with both hands.
"What did I do wrong? What did I do wrong? I just want a home. People cannot choose their own parents. But since I was sensible, I knew that I was a person without a mother. People called me a wild breeder and a child that no mother wanted. But I didn't give up. I worked hard to learn, I wanted to leave that place, and I wanted to develop in big cities."
When Shan Tong said this, he suddenly lowered his head weakly. Chen Bai stood up and stuffed a cigarette into Shan Tong's mouth.
"This is how people are. Sometimes we have to bow to fate. In fact, if you can accept your fate, although it will be a little harder, you will not be on the road of crime."
After Chen Bai finished speaking, he took out his lighter and lit the cigarette in his mouth for Shan Tong.
"Accepting my fate? Why do I accept my fate? Although I dropped out of junior high school, I am diligent and good at studying. I have learned a lot. Have you seen all those fires? Is it beautiful? I think it is the most beautiful thing. When Prometheus brought the fire to the human world, he was punished by God, but he thought it was worth it, but he did not expect that the human beings he loved deeply were like this, so he used his sacred fire to punish those sinners. I am his disciple, and I will burn all the sinners to death."
Chen Bai looked at Shan Tong opposite him and knew that he was already in madness at this time.
"Sinners? Then I really want to hear who you think is the sinful person? What sins have they all committed?"
"Give me another cigarette!"
Chen Bai smiled, walked over and stuffed a cigarette into Dan Tong's mouth, and then lit it for him.
"By the way, do you know how many times have I set fire to me since I was a child?"
Shan Tong did not say it directly, but instead asked Chen Bai this question.
"As far as I know, it should be four times, but I think it must be more than four times. After all, fire is such a beautiful thing. The beating flames are like ballet dancers on the stage, very beautiful. And flames can destroy everything and let all the sins and ugliness in the world disappear."
"Yes, right, I really didn't expect that we would be confidants."
Shan Tong was very excited when he heard Chen Bai's words, and Chen Bai also drew out a cigarette, and the lighter's flame was ignited with a bang.
"Actually, you're right. I only set fire four times. I've been living in depression since I was a child, especially when I saw other children with their parents, but when I was alone, I felt very uncomfortable."
Shan Tong smiled bitterly at this point, and then said.
"By the way, I'm not alone, I have a father. But what's the difference between that father and no one. I've been drinking since the bitch left. I'm just a woman. I've left after leaving. What's the matter?"
Chen Bai smiled, stretched his body on the chair, and placed his feet on the table.
"What are you doing?"
Bai Hongwei, who had been talking aside, whispered to Chen Bai, but Chen Bai didn't care.
"What you said is wrong. Twenty years ago, your father spent a total of 30,000 yuan to marry your mother. At that time, 30,000 yuan was a huge sum. After losing so much money, your father would of course be sad."
When Dan Tong heard this, he lowered his head in pain.
"I know, I know all of this, but I can't hate me for this reason! I did something wrong. If I knew he hated me so much, I wouldn't want to be born."
Looking at Shan Tong who was almost collapsed, Chen Bai quickly seized the opportunity and asked.
"Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things anymore. What I'm actually curious about now is that in your opinion, what sins those people have committed, so that you can punish them with fire that represents justice."
After hearing Chen Bo say this, Shan Tong finally regained some rationality.
"If you talk about this, I will talk to you carefully. Judging from your appearance, you should know when my first fire was. I won't talk about that. Let's start with my second fire a few days ago, but we have to start with this one a month ago."

"Boss, come and add egg and bean peel meatballs on the bowl of noodles, slightly spicy and watery."
The man picked a table near the door and sat down. He saw that he was an old customer when he looked at the man.
"Okay, come now!"
The boss said that, he went to the kitchen to cook noodles, and after a while, a bowl of noodles was served.
"Hello everyone, everyone, today's Double Color Ball lottery number is..."
A magnetic sound came from the TV. When the boss heard this, he quickly ran to the counter and took out the lottery he bought.
"Boss, I said how many have you bought? How can this kind of thing be so good?"
The boss stared at the TV screen and said impatiently.
"It's over to eat your noodles. I'll tell you that when I win the grand prize, I'll close this noodle restaurant, and I won't have to worry about the rest of my life."
The man shook his head helplessly, and before he could take a few bites, he heard the boss kicking the chair in front of him away.
"No number is right. Why do you think I'm so unlucky!"
The man put down the bowls and chopsticks and said helplessly.
"It is impossible to make money by pointing at such things, it is better to earn money honestly."
But the boss seemed to have never heard the man's words at all, and just said it on his own.
"Look, look at what kind of life is this. I am only forty years old, and I have no hope for life. My son goes to school and his wife is unemployed at home. The burden of life is all on me. The parents of both sides point at me to support me. But I am also a human being. What's wrong with living a simple and relaxed life? I seem to care about nothing and live freely alone!"
When Shan Tong said this, he suddenly looked at Chen Bai fiercely and asked.
"Do you think this person should die? He clearly has a happy family but doesn't cherish it. If you are alone, you can do whatever you want, but since you have a family, you must be responsible for your family."
"So you burned his shop?"
Shan Tong's expression suddenly became serious and he said with a disappointed look on his face.
"No, I originally wanted to burn him to death, but who knew that this guy was so lucky and was not burned to death. And my self-esteem definitely doesn't allow me to do it again. If I fail, I will fail."
Chen Bai nodded, it seemed that the noodle restaurant owner had saved his life!
"Then why did you burn that market?"
Shan Tong smiled and looked at Chen Bai and said.
"The market is so noisy, and I have been buying things there more than once and for a short time. How can I bear it in this situation? I said that people in this world are guilty, and I will punish them with the fire of justice."
When Bai Hongwei and Chen Bai came out of the interrogation room, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. Shan Tong confessed all his crimes. Bai Hongwei stretched and said with some fear.
"Fortunately you stopped him, otherwise I wouldn't dare to think about it if I really let him commit the crime."
Chen Bai didn't say anything, but just picked up the car keys on the table and turned around and was about to go out.
"Chen Bo, we finally solved the case and let's have a meal together!"
"No, I'm too tired when I go back."
Looking at Chen Bai's back, Bai Hongwei and others were a little helpless. Why is this guy always like this?
On the way back, Chen Bo kept thinking that if Shan Tong had received more care from birth and his father did not give up on himself, then things would be different.
The next morning, when Chen Bai entered the office, he saw a strange woman sitting in the office.
"Teacher Chen, right? It's really not easy to see you. Hello, my name is Shangguan Mo. I'm very happy to see you."
Chen Bai looked at the woman's hand stretched out, but did not stretch out his hand, but nodded and pulled away the chair next to him and sat down, looking at Bai Hongwei and said angrily.
"You called me here in such a hurry to let me be interviewed by a reporter?"
Bai Hongwei felt a little embarrassed and quickly pulled Chen Bai aside.
"I know you are not very happy, but this is also a task assigned by the director. You have not been interviewed for the fraud case before, but this case was solved so quickly. Considering that the social impact of this case is so great, if you can come forward to tell everyone that we have solved this case, we can also let everyone..."
Before Bai Hongwei could finish his words, Chen Bai interrupted.
"No, I won't accept an interview. Please let her go!"
After Chen Bai said that, he turned around and was about to leave, but at this time Shangguan Mo suddenly stopped Chen Bai.
"Teacher Chen, as a criminal psychology tutor at the Public Security University, not only cultivated many excellent students, but also helped the police solve many cases in succession. If I report this matter, you will become the hero in everyone's hearts."
Chen Bai pulled a chair and sat down, put his legs on the table.
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in becoming a hero. I just came because the director asked me to help me. As for the interview you mentioned, I don't think it's necessary."
Shangguan Mo did not give up when he heard this, but pulled a chair and sat next to Chen Bai.
"No, how can this be said to be unnecessary? The continuous fires in Binhai City have become hot news. If the police can come forward at this time, let everyone know that the person who set fires has been caught, then it can not only give the people an explanation, but also establish a good image of the police, right?"
Chen Bai took out a cigarette and lit it, and his eyes suddenly became serious when he looked at Shangguan Mo.
"It's interesting! But have you ever thought about a question, that is, what should you do if someone imitates this after you report it truthfully?"
Shangguan Mo smiled and said indifferently.
"Is this a bit too much worrying? Or are you not confident in your ability to solve the case? The public has the right to know, so they need to know what happened."
Chen Bai put out the cigarette in his hand and said to Shangguan Mo.
"Sometimes, the people just need to know that the matter is resolved. If you think you can get something good after reporting this matter, you should go back! I won't accept your interview!"
Shangguan Mo was about to refute something, but Chen Bai continued to speak.
"A person who has never suffered any setbacks since childhood and lives in the sun naturally thinks that this society is beautiful. How many setbacks have you suffered? A reporter who pursues stars will even care about people's livelihood issues? Even if you are about to be fired, don't treat me as your life-saving straw."
Shangguan Mo's face was blue and purple. Chen Bai was right. She was actually an entertainment reporter. However, there was no explosive news recently, so the editor-in-chief was very dissatisfied with her. She only learned about Chen Bai's affairs through many relationships. She knew that as long as she reported this, she would definitely be able to keep her job. But unexpectedly, Chen Bai saw through herself at once.
"Do you want to know how I saw it? It's very simple. Your mouth is calm and your face is full of eagerness for quick success."
"Bang!"
The office door was opened, and Dabinzi looked at everyone with an anxious look on his face and said.
"There is a case!"
Everyone stood up quickly, and Shangguan Mo also wanted to follow him, but Chen Bai refused harshly.
"If you dare to catch up, I will go and complain to your leader!"
