I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 632 Shadow
"Seeing this scene, the slightly older children collapsed to the ground and started crying. They were kicked and didn't even have the strength to twitch."

When Wu Shaobo said this, he sighed and seemed quite helpless.

"There's nothing we can do. If he howls any louder, he might attract the neighbors."

"I didn't expect you would have such concerns."

Chu Qingmian said in a cold tone.

"Not really, it's just troublesome. I might have to deal with more of them."

Wu Shaobo shook his head and coughed due to being choked by the smoke. The swirling smoke floated out from the gap in the car window.

"At this time, someone asked me what to do with the two kids. I originally thought, what else can I do? Should I release them and let them identify the scene or something like that.

But seeing the little girl standing there dumbly, I found it interesting and wondered if she was a fool or mute.

"I squatted down and asked her, what's your name? Her pupils didn't move at all, she just stared at me without answering.

So I asked again, aren't you afraid, and she still didn't say anything.

Finally, I had no more tricks, so I just grabbed her brother by the collar and brought him in front of her, and asked her, did she want her brother to live or did she want her to live?

Wu Shaobo was obviously very interested in making such multiple-choice questions, and when he talked about this part, he suppressed his excited voice.

"The little boy, too, had a knife pressed against his neck. He was so frightened that he couldn't utter a complete word. He just stammered and trembled and said "no".

Children are difficult to deal with, aren't they, Miss? Anyway, I was getting a little impatient waiting, so I asked him, "Is your sister mute?"
The little boy shook his head subconsciously at first, then nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, saying, "Yes, please don't hurt her."

When Chu Qingmian heard this, he felt a tightness in his chest and a little uncomfortable.

Obviously, he said this to protect his sister.

He subconsciously shook his head to protect his sister as he did before, not wanting others to say that she was mute. Then he changed his mind and kept nodding, just because he thought that as long as his sister could not make this choice, she could be the one who survived.

But such a clumsy cover-up from a child would of course be seen through at a glance by a sinister and cunning adult like Wu Shaobo.

This is true.

"Don't you think it's funny? He was so scared that he almost peed his pants, but he still had the mind to tell such a lie to fool me. Otherwise, people say that his son is smart. The walls are all covered with awards for being a model student."

Wu Shaobo really found it funny. He coughed and laughed a few times before continuing:

"After wasting so long, the lookout at the door was already signaling us to hurry up. I wiped the tip of the knife on the boy's collar, wondering if I should just get rid of him and leave.

Just then, the little girl suddenly spoke, her voice so soft that I almost couldn't hear it, and then she said it again.

She said, save my brother.

Wu Shaobo pressed the lighter and lit a cigarette for himself again, looking happy.

Chu Qingmian pursed her lips tightly. She had roughly guessed what would happen next, but the truth was too cruel.

At this point, she finally felt like she couldn't bear to listen any longer.

"I asked you if you were sure. If you save your brother, you will die. She nodded, her face still as pale as paper.

I said yes, and then I slit the boy’s throat.”

Wu Shaobo knocked off the ash from his cigarette, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.

"Blood splattered all over her face. I said sorry, I was a little rusty and it wouldn't happen normally.

After that, the guy in charge of cleaning up poured several barrels of gasoline around the house, and she was as still as a piece of wood.

I lit a cigarette and told her to remember how her brother died and for whom he died, otherwise he would not let her go even if he became a vengeful ghost.

"She was still huddled there until we were ready to leave. Seeing her like that, none of her companions offered to finish her off, because she looked no different from a living dead.

So I walked outside, threw the lighter in, watched the fire start in the house, the thick fog and black smoke was choking, and we left.

Oh, and there was also Xia Yongzhi’s truck. We didn’t forget to burn it before we left.”

At this point, Wu Shaobo leaned on the back of the chair with his hands, couldn't help but turned back and asked with a grin:
"Miss Chu, what did this child, who looked like he was dying and had no energy, suddenly think of and crawl out to ask for help?
It's a pity that she has become a mute now, otherwise I would really like to ask her clearly. "

"Maybe she didn't think of anything."

Chu Qingmian looked out the window, suppressing his inner anger towards such a vicious criminal, and answered as calmly as possible:

"Maybe it was just the human instinct of survival that saved her."

Or maybe it's hatred towards you.

As long as she is alive and well, one day she will see you caught and die before her.

Chu Qingmian quietly said the second half of the sentence to herself in her heart without saying it out loud.

"Is it coming soon?"

Xiao Zheng was leaning on the back of the front seat, his tone as anxious as his expression.

The green navigation line was like his electrocardiogram, and it was about to become a straight line.

"Yes, you will reach the foot of the mountain after passing the sign ahead."

Su Chengyi's fingers gripping the steering wheel had become a little stiff, and the warm air from the air conditioner passed over his fingertips without feeling any warmth.

Chen Jinzhi lowered her head and looked carefully at the scenic map, with her focus mainly on the area that was to be developed.

The terrain itself is quite complex, and because it is a construction site, there are many obstacles that will hinder the efficiency of the inspection.

It is extremely difficult for people who come here for the first time to understand the terrain here, but Wu Shaobo has been lurking here in advance and must be very familiar with it.

Therefore, this is the most advantageous negotiation location for him, and he is likely hiding here now.

Chen Jinzhi lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought.

At this time, the phone rang again, and it was still Ye Ju.

Su Chengyi glanced at the time, made a plan so as not to delay his call with Wu Shaobo, and pressed the answer button.

Ye Ju's voice sounded a little excited, and she stammered:

"Su Chengyi, Zhou Yan has something to tell you."

"what?"

Su Chengyi was slightly stunned. He didn't expect such an unexpected development.

"Yes, yes, Xiaoyan, tell Chengyi what you want to say."

The voice coming from the other end of the receiver was that of a middle-aged auntie. Su Chengyi quickly realized that it was Zhou Yan's mother, the auntie from the laundry shop.

"Auntie?" he called out tentatively.

"It's me! It's me."

The other party responded quickly, as if taking Ye Ju's phone.

"Chengyi, if you have any questions, just ask him. Auntie knows you must be in urgent need, and if there is anything we can do to help, we will do our best."

After she said this, Su Chengyi took a deep breath and calmed down.

For a mother, the safety and health of her child is definitely the most important thing in the world. Zhou Yan had finally escaped death and is now in the most important recovery period. Su Chengyi did not expect that Aunt Zhou would be willing to let him provide clues at this time.

"At that time, Xiaoyan disappeared. I looked for him everywhere every day, but I met with obstacles everywhere. Many people were unwilling to get involved in this mess, but you agreed to help me find him. In the end, it was all thanks to you that Xiaoyan was rescued.

Auntie has not received much education, but she knows how to repay kindness. You are the benefactor of my mother and I. If you need any help, we will do our best to help you no matter what. "

Aunt Zhou spoke word by word with great sincerity.

Su Chengyi was silent for a few seconds, and his response was a little obscure.

"Okay, thank you."

Although Zhou Yan's recovery is good, he still occasionally suffers from symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, such as insomnia, anxiety, etc.

This can be felt from the way he speaks, which is very similar to the nervous and trembling voice that often appears when answering questions in the interrogation room. The word order is also a little mixed up, but he is still trying hard to express himself clearly.

"I was caught quickly and found out they were illegal. I tried to run, but was caught back."

"The man said he knew my name and where I lived, and if I ran again, he would find my mother."

"He held the branding iron and asked me whether I wanted to live by myself or by my mother."

It seemed that Zhou Yan was saying these things for the first time. Su Chengyi heard the faint sobbing sound of Aunt Zhou coming from the other end of the receiver.

“There were pictures on his phone, the laundry, and I saw my mom looking for me everywhere.

I knelt down and begged him not to hurt my family, I would not run away again, I would do whatever he asked me to do. "

Zhou Yan finished speaking this passage with great difficulty, almost enunciating each word. It was obvious that he was forced to recall that horrific experience.

"He shook his head, put out his cigarette on my head and said it was boring. Then others came up and hit my knees with hammers. I passed out and when I woke up, I was thrown into a stinking ditch.

I couldn't stand up, my knees hurt, I didn't dare look down, and I heard people around me discussing when I would die.

When they found I was awake, they knocked me unconscious again, sometimes pushing my head into the dirty water in the sewer."

“I don’t know how long it was, I was awake for very little time until two people I had never seen before came and took me away.

I don’t know if I was dreaming, but I was scared. I wondered if something would happen to my mom if I was let go.

When I was lying in the ditch, I would fantasize about escaping from there every day before I opened my eyes. But when I really left, I was afraid. Thinking of what that person said, I was afraid that the price of my escape would be something bad happening to my mother.

When Zhou Yan said this, his voice became hoarse. Obviously, he is still living in such worry.

Su Chengyi's fingers gripped the steering wheel so tightly that they turned white and veins were exposed.

This is Wu Shaobo’s method.

Even if the victim manages to escape, he will still live under his shadow for the rest of his life.

Once there is any sign of trouble, people will worry whether it is him, as if there is a poisonous snake hiding in the water pipe at home, and no one can sleep well.

Unless he dies.

Su Chengyi's Adam's apple rolled, and his eyes looking straight ahead flickered for a moment.

"No, thank you for telling me this, Zhou Yan."

He said slowly:
"Everything will be over. Please have a good sleep tonight."

Hearing him say this, Ye Ju suddenly felt uneasy. She took the phone and asked hurriedly:
"Su Chengyi, what are you going to do?"

"fine."

Su Chengyi's finger hovered over the hang-up button, and after hesitating for a while, he added:
"Thank you too, Ye Ju. Xia Yu will come back safely."

"Su Chengyi!"

Before Ye Ju finished speaking, Su Chengyi had already hung up the phone and set the function to reject calls from this person.

Time was running out, and he had to keep his line open at all times in order to communicate with Wu Shaobo.

"After listening to the other victim's account, what do you think, Mr. Su?"

Chen Jinzhi rolled down the car window and found himself at the scenic area. The air was filled with the peculiar smell of rotting leaves.

"Wu Shaobo seems to be extremely fond of 'multiple choice questions'.

Just like the situation we are facing now, he also gave Zhou Yan a 'choice question', that is, he asked him to choose whether he should live or his mother should live. "

Entering the winding mountain road, Su Chengyi turned the steering wheel with a larger amplitude and paid more attention to the road conditions.

"It's hard to guess the origin of his habit, but it's probably related to his antisocial personality. He seems to have difficulty understanding human emotions.

Therefore, when Zhou Yan chose to protect his mother without hesitation, he was extremely confused. Moreover, he did not kill Zhou Yan immediately and execute the answer to the multiple-choice question.

This seems to indicate that he is not a trustworthy criminal and his multiple-choice questions are not credible. "

After thinking about this, Su Chengyi frowned, realizing that he had indeed been led into a misunderstanding by Wu Shaobo.

That is, criminals with his personality usually have their own criminal principles, just like the serial killers in many classic cases, they all strictly follow their rules, some criminals only kill on rainy days, some criminals only kill people wearing red clothes.

However, this does not mean that Wu Shaobo is the same kind of person. He is very likely to go back on his word and violate his beliefs at the last minute.

"Ah."

Chen Jinzhi's slender fingers tapped on the car window, making rhythmic sounds.

"The reason why he made such a behavior as 'multiple choice questions' may be that he thought it was a kind of test of human nature. He expected to hear some selfish answers, but the results always disappointed him.

He does not intend to carry out the victim's own choice, but acts according to his own preferences and mood. But if you think about it carefully, there are some rules that can be inferred. "

The sunlight poured through the car window. Chen Jinzhi lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes hid the thoughts flowing in his eyes.

"If we infer from this, we can know that he will do what will cause the greatest psychological trauma to the victim.

Whether it is the options in the multiple-choice questions or the people who are forced to make the choices, they will live in such a shadow in great pain for the rest of their lives. This is the picture he wants to see. "
