Chapter 18 Water Tower Female Corpse 18

　　The police of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of Guiyuan City were very good, and after identifying the suspect, they arrested him within three days, despite the fact that Luo Gao Lang had already moved his luggage and changed several places.

　　After seeing the police, Luo Gao Lang followed them to the CID without much resistance.

　　Inside the Criminal Investigation Bureau's Serious Crimes Unit, Xie Yu was talking to Zhao Lin Yuan with a loaf of bread in his mouth.

　　Xie Yu: "I went to the orphanage, and it's pretty much as we suspected, Zhao Xiaolan came to the Ren'ai Orphanage starting four years ago, when she was participating in a volunteer program to take care of a five year old girl."

　　"Zhao Xiaolan didn't go there out of spontaneity, but she was working in a job that required the company's employees to have volunteer experience, and the dean said that Zhao Xiaolan didn't want to take the little girl in the beginning, and specifically asked if she could be allowed to take care of the little boy. But the orphanage had more girls than girls, so it wasn't possible to fulfill her request."

　　"Later, I don't know what happened, but Zhao Xiaolan's attitude changed dramatically, and she often visited those children at the orphanage after her volunteer service was over, and she gave money to the orphanage every month from then on."

　　Xie Yu took a sip of coffee, "I asked the others in the orphanage, there was an employee who had a closer relationship with Zhao Xiaolan, she said that Zhao Xiaolan had once said that she came to the orphanage to atone for her sins, that she didn't know better when she was younger, that she didn't know what to say and what not to say, and that because of herself she had caused a tragedy for a girl."

　　"So she came over to atone for her sins, hoping the girl would forgive her."

　　"She also said this to the staff of the orphanage, she said that mistakes made can never be made up, but I wonder if a person's unintentional mistake, who realizes after many years that she was wrong, and who is powerless to salvage her regrets even if she tries everything she can, is that kind of person worth being forgiven and comforted?"

　　Xie Yu: "The staff of the orphanage said that at that time she spoke with a sad expression, and she comforted her by saying that surely she could do it, who does not make mistakes ah, and that it would be good to change."

　　Xie Yu mockingly hooked the corner of his mouth, "Really fresh, atonement for this thing can also engage in substitution. To atone for a crime, shouldn't one atone to the victim or the victim's family at the time?"

　　"At the end of the day, I was afraid to face it because I knew that the families of the victims who still existed would not forgive if I admitted to the mistakes I made back then, so I found a few children of the same age, took care of them, and consoled myself by saying that I was already making amends and atoning for my sins."

　　Xie Yu: "What's the point, what's coming will come."

　　Shi Gao Yun and Xie Yu had different viewpoints, and in fact many times she listened to what Xie Yu had to say in a very unpleasant way.

　　Shi Gao Yun: "Xie Yu, you're talking too mean, she's a victim now too."

　　Xie Yu looked at his coworker with full concern and sighed, "Human emotions are just fragile, it's just a matter of telling the truth, is that considered mean? From a psychological point of view ..."

　　"Stop." Shi Gao Yun interrupted, "I don't want to hear you read these psychological points, save your psychology for the murderer."

　　Xie Yu shrugged, "Listen or don't listen."

　　Shi Gao Yun put down what he was holding, "The comparison from the technical department came out, Luo Gao Lang's fingerprints matched the mutilated fingerprints taken from the victim."

　　Inside the interrogation room sat Zhao Lin Yuan and Luo Gao Lang.

　　Luo Gao Lang, male, thirty-three years old, married, with two children, is a middle manager of a company with good financial conditions.

　　Generally, people with intact families and better finances commit less crime than others because they look out for their families and children.

　　But Lo Goro was not one of them, and his wife reacted so indifferently to his arrest that she didn't even come to the police station to see him.

　　This is something that Rokorang seems to have taken for granted.

　　Of course his wife wouldn't come to see him, how would she have time to spend on him when she couldn't even be bothered to fool around with the white boy outside?

　　Yu Zhe was on the phone, but within two sentences, the opposite party hung up.

　　He walked over to Sheyu and the two of them looked into the interrogation room together.

　　Yu Zhe: "This family is really strange, his wife knows that her husband has been arrested and is actually still out doing beauty treatments? Calling his father-in-law and saying that if he's arrested, he'll have his daughter come and do the divorce as soon as possible, that's too cold of a reaction."

　　Xie Yu: "Nothing strange, door-to-door son-in-law."

　　Yu Zhe: "Door-to-door son-in-law that is also a son-in-law, after so many years, how old is the child."

　　Xie Yu let out a light laugh, "Children? Nine times out of ten, those two children are not his."

　　"Hey?" Yu Zhe's expression was a bit complicated, "Happy to be a father?"

　　Xie Yu: "I've seen Luo Gao Lang's information, his work ability is good, it must be his old father-in-law is looking at this point to marry his daughter, after all, just an only daughter and will not be able to manage the money, how to find a successor who can open the company down."

　　"Luo Gao Lang's wife isn't really good looking and her reputation isn't very good. But marrying the boss's daughter is a way to struggle for twenty years less."

　　The people in the interrogation room didn't realize what the people outside were saying.

　　Rogolang was a murderer for killing a man, but he sat in this closed and depressing room with the kind of bewilderment on his face that innocent simpletons have when they know the world is coming to an end.

　　Zhao Lin Yuan: "Luo Gao Lang, tell me, how did you kill someone?"

　　Rogoland: "I don't know what you're talking about."

　　Zhao Lin Yuan puts the evidence in front of Luo Gao Lang, and they find a fruit knife inside his suitcase with a small amount of residual blood on it, which is tested and matches that of the deceased Zhao Xiaolan.

　　That fruit knife is also the murder weapon.

　　Zhao Lin Yuan took out a few more photos and placed them in front of him, on them were photos of Zhao Xiaolan's appearance before she was born, and her corpse after her death.

　　Zhao Lin Yuan: "Does this person look familiar?"

　　Luo Gao Lang moved his eyes away after only one look, "I don't recognize it."

　　Zhao Lin Yuan: "Don't recognize? You've gone to light her clock three times, would you not recognize it?"

　　Lo Goro: "I go to a bathhouse for a massage, just enjoy it, why do I need to remember what a masseuse looks like?"

　　"What are you guys looking for me for?" Luo Gao Lang said, "I'm just going for a massage, it's not against the law, is it?"

　　Don't panic, Luo Gao Lang said in his mind, they are only a routine investigation, the scene he handled very cleanly, did not leave anything behind, as for the fruit knife they found, when the time comes, it will be said that Zhao Xiaolan, that woman has a sexual fetish, masochism.

　　What they don't know, he has no motive to kill, but only johns and massage girls, Zhao Xiaolan male and female relationships are so chaotic, the suspect is definitely not just him, as long as he doesn't panic and say what he shouldn't say, these police officers can't do anything about him.

　　No one will connect Zhao Xiaolan's death to what happened fifteen years ago, it's been so long.

　　Zhao Lin Yuan stated, "Massaging is not a crime, but killing is a crime."

　　Luo Gao Lang said loudly, "Who killed someone? Who are you to say I killed someone? Can you wrongly accuse someone just because you're a cop? I want a lawyer!"

　　Zhao Lin Yuan: "Of course you can hire a lawyer, but that doesn't change the fact that you killed someone."

　　Luo Gao Lang: "I killed someone? Then you tell me why I kill people, Zhao Xiaolan and I are just ordinary guests, she didn't offend me, I have no grudges against her, why would I kill people and throw them into a water tower."

　　Zhao Lin Yuan smiled, "Mr. Luo, I never mentioned the exact location of Zhao Xiaolan's body from the beginning to the end, so how do you know it's in the water tower."

　　Luo Gao Lang's face was full of disdain, ''Are you catching me in a speech impediment? I'm telling you it's impossible! Do you still need to say this? It's all over the place, can't I just listen to what others say?"

　　Zhao Lin Yuan: "Yes."

　　Luo Gao Lang: "I have no reason to kill anyone, so you must have the wrong person, now let me go right now or I'll sue you!"

　　Zhao Lin Yuan: "Of course you have a reason to kill, for revenge."

　　Revenge? Why did he say revenge? Did the police find out?

　　It can't be. He must be swindling him.

　　Luo Gao Lang forced a calm and disdainful smile, "Revenge? I said I've only seen her a few times, what revenge am I going to take?"

　　Zhao Lin Yuan took out a file that contained details of the murder case of the junior high school student fifteen years ago.

　　Zhao Lin Yuan put the file in front of Luo Gao Lang and opened it very thoughtfully.

　　"Fifteen years ago your biological parents fostered you in the home of Xue Rong, a villager from De Township in Shuangyun Township, the couple was unable to continue having children due to health reasons and had only one only daughter named Xue Xiaoduo."

　　"Your real parents have several children at home and don't care much for you, so they are going to pass you on to Xue Rong."

　　Lo Goro's face turned deathly white from the moment he saw the contents of the dossier bag,

　　They really know.

　　Zhao Lin Yuan: "You lived in Xue Rong's house for more than a year, but one day everything changed, Xue Xiaoduo was killed, her body was caught in a field with not a single piece of good flesh on her body, her mother couldn't take it and died within a few years, Xue Rong also committed suicide, so you had to go back to your old home."

　　Zhao Lin Yuan looked sharply at Luo Gao Lang, "Am I right?"

　　Rokoro's hand in his lap balled into a fist, but he still didn't say anything.

　　Zhao Lin Yuan: "We found your fingerprints on Zhao Xiaolan's body, the evidence of guilt is overwhelming."

　　Luo Gao Lang's eyes were a little red, "If that's the case, what's the point of interrogating me? Just convict me directly."

　　Zhao Lin Yuan: "We're just a little confused as to why you had to kill Zhao Xiaolan in such a cruel way, the murderer back then wasn't her was it? What did she do?"

　　Luo Gao Lang sneered, "Cruel? What do you mean by cruel? Isn't it cruel to kill Xiaoduo when she was only six years old? Have you guys ever seen her body? Do you guys know what it looks like!"

　　Toward the end, Luo Gao Lang's emotions got a little out of control.

　　"After all these years, I've never forgotten that I promised my father that I would kill everyone who killed Duo, Duo can't die innocently!"

　　"She's so young, she's only had her sixth birthday, she's polite, she greets strangers when she sees them, she's done something wrong to be killed!"

　　Zhao Lin Yuan: "The murderer has been ambushed."

　　Luo Gao Lang: "Zhao Xiaolan is also a murderer! Bitch, if it wasn't for what she said, that trash wouldn't have used his guts to kill anyone, and if it wasn't for what she said, my sister wouldn't have died!"

　　Zhao Lin Yuan frowned, "What did she say?"

　　Lo Goro: "She deserves to die!"

　　Fifteen years ago.

　　Ou Ziqiang, who had been bullied again and robbed of his money, returned home and saw Zhao Xiaolan, who was playing outside.

　　He walked over, wanting to ask Zhao Xiaolan why she had just seen him but didn't help him, instead she stood to the side and laughed.

　　But as soon as Zhao Xiaolan saw him, she was ready to walk in. Ou Ziqiang hurriedly ran over, the running motion involved his wound, and Ou Ziqiang's face twisted together in pain.

　　Zhao Xiaolan looked at him impatiently, her tone fierce, "What are you doing, a good dog doesn't get in the way!"

　　Ou Ziqiang: "Why didn't you help me just now? Aren't we friends?"

　　Zhao Xiaolan looked at him with disdain: "Friend? Who's friends with you, don't go looking for me in school anymore, it's embarrassing to walk with you eh. Please really don't look for me, it's annoying!"

　　O'Self: "I can change if you don't like me that way."

　　Zhao Xiaolan: "It's not that I don't like you like that, I hate it, I hate you as a person, I especially hate you no matter what, don't say you're my friend again, you're going to make me lose face in front of my classmates, being useless and a coward, it's just a waste of space."

　　Zhao Xiaolan's faint few words however made Ou Ziqiang feel more pain than those punches and kicks.

　　Ou Ziqiang: "Then if I am bold in the future and won't be bullied will you play with me?"

　　Zhao Xiaolan laughed, "There was no such day."

　　Ou Ziqiang: "I'll prove it to you."

　　After saying that Ou Ziqiang turned around to go home, this time Zhao Xiaolan called out to her.

　　She suddenly thought of a fun thing to do to straighten him out.

　　Zhao Xiaolan: "Hey, you want to get strong and bold, don't you?"

　　Ou Ziqiang: "Yes, do you have any idea, Xiaolan you are the smartest you must have an idea."

　　Zhao Xiaolan: "I do have a way, but I don't know if you dare."

　　"I dare!" Ou Ziqiang said, "As long as it keeps me from being bullied, I'll do it no matter how hard it is."

　　Zhao Xiaolan: "I've heard people say before that if you eat human flesh, you'll become extra bold and strong, and you'll gain strength from it."

　　"Human, human flesh?" Ou Ziqiang's voice trembled a little.

　　Zhao Xiaolan: "You're not supposed to be scared right now."

　　Ou Ziqiang retorted, "I didn't, but where am I going to get human flesh?"

　　Zhao Xiaolan laughed, "You're so stupid, of course human meat is to be found on a person's body, all you have to do is kill a person, won't the meat be as much as you want?"

　　During that time, it was popular for their class to read ghost stories, which were sold inside the kiosk outside for a dollar a book, with many horror stories and some gory illustrations, what with the old acacia tree, ah, with skulls all over its head, the folding gollum cat, the hanged man in the toilet, and many stories of psychopathic killers, in which the people would kill and eat human flesh.

　　Zhao Xiaolan read a lot of such ghost stories, there are still three or four new ones under her pillow, and after reading them, she brought them to school and distributed them to others to read, she was the second most watched ghost stories inside the class, and the one who watched the most was Zhu Guang.

　　Thinking of Zhu Guang Zhao Xiaolan blushed, she liked Zhu Guang, he was handsome, he dared to go against the teacher, and there was a powerful big brother outside the school, Zhao Xiaolan thought she was super cool and especially brave, unlike a wimp like Ou Ziqiang, who would only be bullied.

　　He wouldn't even dare to read a ghost story, Zhao Xiaolan looked at Ou Ziqiang with disdain, he wouldn't even dare to do what she said, maybe he would even be so scared that he would cry out when he slept at night.

　　Ou Ziqiang: "Kill someone? But I'm not that strong, how am I going to kill someone?"

　　So stupid, can't even kill.

　　Zhao Xiaolan looked down on Ou Ziqiang more and more, but for the sake of the two being neighbors, she still taught him two tricks.

　　"Who told you not to read normally, you don't even know how to do this, right? You don't have to be strong to kill someone, there are many ways to do it."

　　Ou Ziqiang: "What's the solution, teach me."

　　Zhao Xiaolan: "What's the point of teaching you, you won't do it and waste my time."

　　Ou Ziqiang said curtly, "I'll do it, as long as you teach me."

　　Zhao Xiaolan: "Then you listen well, I only say once, you can drug ah, your home is not a pesticide, want to kill who put the drug in the water of who, let him drink, and then strong people will die at once, do not need to spend effort. And you can also strangle ah, when he is not paying attention, jump out from the back, the rope strangled in the neck of that person, he can not breathe up, all of a sudden died."

　　Middle schoolers always like to pursue excitement, and Zhao Xiaolan was excited to talk about it.

　　"There are just so many ways to kill someone, you can also ask someone out on the rooftop of the school and then when he's not paying attention, push him down the stairs in one go so that he's dead, but this doesn't work too well, is it too much of a commotion, and a lot of people will notice."

　　"Or else make an appointment there at the back of the reservoir, push him into the water and drown him, or take a stone and smash the person to death, and you can also configure a poison for yourself and poison him to death."

　　"But there's one very important problem: there's no way for you to hide the body, after all, you're so stupid that you can't move the body of an adult or someone taller than you, so you can't eat human flesh."

　　Ou Ziqiang: "What am I going to do?"

　　Zhao Xiaolan: "Why do you need me to teach you everything, you're really pig-headed!"

　　Ou Ziqiang lowered his head.

　　Zhao Xiaolan: "If you can't kill adults, then you'll kill children, you wouldn't even be able to solve children, would you."

　　Maybe it was fate, maybe it was a coincidence that just at that moment a little girl happened to pass them by.

　　Five or six year olds with a lollipop in their hands and calling out to them for older siblings.

　　Zhao Xiaolan didn't even bother with that kid, childish to death, who would bother with such a brat.

　　Zhao Xiaolan looked at the child and said to Ou Ziqiang, "That little brat, kill her well, just a lollipop can trick her, dying so small is also good to hide."

　　Middle schoolers are immature; they are naive and fearless and do not hide their malice.

　　As Ou Ziqiang listened to Zhao Xiaolan's words, he felt that there was something wrong, killing was a bad thing, but what she said was like the murmur of a demon, and despite the absurdity and comicality, it had an irresistible charm compelling her.

　　Just do that, kill the kid. It's easy isn't it? Just eat her flesh and you'll become bold and no one will be able to bully him in the future.

　　As Ou Ziqiang thought this, he felt a burst of flame rising out of his heart, and in that moment it was as if he couldn't feel any other pain in his body.

　　The interrogation room of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the city of Guiyuan.

　　Luo Gao Lang let out a piercing laugh, "She said things she shouldn't have said and killed Xiaoduo, Xiaoduo didn't even know her, so she had someone kill Xiaoduo and eat her flesh, doesn't such a person deserve to die!"

　　"She deserved to die, she deserved to die a long time ago! After so many years, who would have thought that I would actually run into this bitch when I went to get a massage, I had all but given up, but God actually let me run into her once again, that the underworld speaks of letting her die in my hands."

　　Luo Gao Lang said, "Since she said something she shouldn't have, I'll cut out her tongue, so that even if she dies, she can't talk down there, and I'm going to make Xiao Dao die as miserable as you are."

　　Evil karma, seeded in an unintentional joke fifteen years ago, quickly took root; its crown was cut down, but the roots kept growing, completing the cycle fifteen years later.
