Criminal Investigation: Forbidden Rose
Chapter 20 Deep Sea
"Hahahahaha—" Ji Tong's almost presumptuous laughter came from outside the car door, "Do you really think that I rarely know what happened on that ship?"
"Do you really think you have enough chips to exchange with me? No matter what happened back then, no matter what explanation you give me, whether it's the truth or a lie, those who died will never come back!"
"Why - only you - can pretend that nothing happened and start life from scratch?"
"You should die in that sea too!"
Cameras and microphones are installed in the cabin.
Ji Tong watched Shao Lin take out his mobile phone, and smiled contemptuously: "It's useless, there is no signal inside. Even if there is, your police friends are still at the seafood market in the southeast corner right now. No one can catch up."
There was a roar, and the truck engine started.
Ji Tong turned around, turned, and drove the pickup truck towards the broken bridge.
There was indeed no signal in the cabin, so Shao Lin directly turned off the Bluetooth of his mobile phone.There is a system on his motorcycle, which is connected to the mobile phone. If the Bluetooth signal is interrupted, it will automatically alarm after 15 seconds.But, as Ji Tong said - Yan'an City is notoriously "congested" city, especially during the evening rush hour, it takes time for the other party to come over.
So, he has to create time for himself.
Shao Lin quickly calmed down.
He thought he had made a mistake.This error is fatal.
All negotiations follow a principle - as long as the other party still wants something, there is still room for negotiation - but, he overestimated the weight of the Penglai Princess in Ji Tong's heart.Wang Nini died long ago.Ji Tong doesn't want to negotiate at all.She smashed the pot and threw it, just wanting to kill the fish and kill the net.
Ji Tong said that she didn't care about the truth anymore.So at this moment, does she have... anything else she wants?How to procrastinate?Where is his breakthrough?
In the dark carriage, Shao Lin's eyes were bright, and he was surprisingly calm.
When the blade reaches his neck, he never seems to be afraid.
He is Blade itself.
Shao Lin thought to himself: Is Ji Tong really a desperado who will do anything for revenge?
No, she is not.
If Wang Nini hadn't suddenly betrayed the water, the murderer would have been nailed to Zhao Chunhua.If Ji Tong's ultimate wish is to die with others, then she doesn't have to go to such great lengths to elaborately frame Zhao Chunhua.In the case of the Xu family of three, Ji Tong was calm and meticulous, and she was eager to escape without guilt.
Since she wanted to escape without guilt, she must have plans for the future.
However, after being threatened by Wang Nini to report, Ji Tong panicked.Wang Nini has become a time bomb that will detonate at an unknown time. Ji Tong is in a panic and can only choose to kill her to silence her.
This is an unplanned contingency.
Now, Ji Tong is carrying a dead body that cannot be handled, knowing that sooner or later he will face the pursuit of the police.Driven by panic and anxiety, she was in a hurry, and within a limited time, she had to accomplish...what she had to accomplish—she wanted someone to pay for her life.
But, before Wang Nini's accident happened, what was Ji Tong's original plan?This plan is crucial.
Shao Lin recalled——At that time, Ji Tong used countless photos of tourists to spell out his face, made a portrait, placed it in the art gallery, and threatened him to go to the art gallery that night—but, that night, He didn't see Ji Tong, but met Xia Yi and was chased all the way.
It is reasonable to suspect that Xia Yi was also invited by Ji Tong.It was an encounter she had planned.Ji Tong hoped to see Xia Yi catch him with his own eyes.
"—Why can you start over?"
In a blink of an eye, countless thoughts rushed through his mind, and Shao Lin had a clear idea.
Ji Tong was driving a small truck, seeing the empty road at the end of the road, and the river was flowing eastward under the suspension of more than ten meters.Is she really ready?End the damn thing?
The river wind blew into the car window, Ji Tong trembled uncontrollably, the palms of his hands were wet, and he almost couldn't hold the steering wheel.However, when she looked at the monitor in the carriage, Shao Lin was sitting cross-legged in a leisurely manner, and there was no trace of panic, as if Ji Tong was not driving him to death, but out for a spring outing.
Ji Tong originally didn't want to waste words with others, but he couldn't bear the strange feeling in his heart, so he couldn't help asking: "Do you know that you are dying?"
Shao Lin laughed softly.
"I'm not going to die," he said.
Ji Tong murmured: "You are really confident."
The truck has already driven onto the initial section of the bridge.
Shao Lin turned Wang Nini over violently, and faced the camera in the cabin with the pale face of the corpse: "Do you know why Wang Nini died? Because she is not only stupid, but also ignorant."
Although Ji Tong was 1 unwilling to admit it, this sentence almost touched her heart.
"And I'm different."
"Ji Tong, you are right, I killed your parents." Shao Lin's tone changed.His voice was no longer cold and gentle, as if he had removed all disguise, revealing the original sharpness of the blade.
The tires made a "Zula" sound on the ground, and Ji Tong stepped on the brakes about ten meters away from the bridge fracture.Although Ji Tong didn't speak, she told Shao Lin with her actions—she had to be curious about the truth.
"It's not just your parents, I killed all the 12 people on the boat." Shao Lin said casually, as if he was talking about what he had for lunch today.
"It will start tomorrow. Do you think it's more interesting for me to go to the exhibition hall to apologize in person than to hang my photo in the hall?" Shao Lin paused, "You have tracked down the matter of the Penglai Princess. After so long, you drowned me in a hurry at the last moment, are you willing?"
Ji Tong swallowed tremblingly, and turned on the phone recording: "You continue to talk."
"The child has no mother. It's really a long story." Shao Lin sighed and tried to delay the time.
"You also know that it's not easy for those criminal group bosses to gather for a meeting, and it's too easy to be wiped out on land, so most of them are private planes in the air, or sailing the boat to the high seas. Your cruise ship is not clean. Unfortunately, it was caught by someone. A meeting was booked. As a result, just as the boss's helicopter was about to take off, the ship was spotted by the Interpol, and all the coastlines along the way were blocked off, waiting for the boss to fly in. It is said that for this meeting, only The people on that ship knew. So, they concluded that there was an insider on that ship who tipped off the police."
"They hijacked the entire cruise ship just to investigate one by one and find out the insider. When I arrived, the people were almost classified. I don't know the specific reason, but the suspicion was locked on the twelve personally."
"What? How could my parents be the informers of the police! They are almost 60, and have no contact with those casino people!" Ji Tong almost screamed, "How could they be the ones who leaked the secret? Besides, this It was never my parents' idea to go on a trip - they didn't want to go - it was suggested by Seo Hyuk Kwang's family!"
Shao Lin didn't answer, and continued: "At that time...the kidnappers asked me to board the boat to let me find out who was lying. The condition is that if I find out the ghost, I will kill the ghost and let everyone go. If I can't find the ghost, kill me, and the remaining twelve people."
Ji Tong: "..."
"I was running out of time and I couldn't find the ghost. They wanted to kill me."
"You know, I'm the most afraid of death." Shao Lin chuckled again, "So, I thought of a win-win solution for the kidnappers—send the twelve people to a search and rescue boat with explosives .No matter who is the insider, he will die anyway. And I have saved 80% of the crew, I don’t need these twelve people to give me performance, and I don’t want to die with them.”
"So, I wasn't on that ship. I watched it explode."
"Ji Tong, I haven't told anyone about this truth except you." Shao Lin's voice was full of delusion, "If you drown me now, it will be the real death without proof."
Ji Tong: "..."
She clenched and loosened her hands on the steering wheel.
At first, she just resented why Shao Lin was still alive.She's just naive, outraged by the negotiator's failure and resentful of the survivors.She never thought that she would force out such a thrilling confession.
She hesitated.If what Shao Lin said was true, then he really couldn't be allowed to die so cheaply.
But at this moment, sirens sounded from afar.
Ji Tong saw a public security motorcycle in the rearview mirror, and his whole mind was in a mess for an instant.She began to feel that Shao Lin was lying to him.This must be the plan of this man, who has long been in collusion with the police.He might be talking nonsense just to buy time!
But seeing the motorcycle approaching behind him, Ji Tong no longer has time to hesitate.
She is so messed up.
Finally, Ji Tong closed his eyes and stepped on the accelerator hard.
……
Shao Lin didn't know which words of his stimulated Ji Tong, he thought he had succeeded.However, in the next second, the whole person suddenly loses weight, and the world is spinning before his eyes.Several iron frames in the cabin fell towards the front of the car with a "pinging, bang, bang". His neck was cold, and it was Wang Nini's body that was crushed.
Then, there was a "boom" in his ears, and the cold river water began to "puff" in from various gaps. He sank slowly in a dark enclosed space, and his eardrums hurt sharply, reminding him of the change in the depth of the water. .
The airtightness of the fresh cold chain transport vehicle was not bad, and the water line rose very slowly, and it took a long time to rise from the ankle to the knee—Shao Lin didn't know whether it was luck or a living torture.
There was still air in the cabin, but the familiar feeling of suffocation pressed against his chest.Fragments of memory began to flash illogically—
The bronze pocket watch pendant printed with black roses is swaying in the sea breeze...
The bright flame on the sea surface when it exploded...
The twelve people were crowded in a room, their faces blurred and distorted, and everyone was fiercely defending themselves...
The cabin no longer sinks.
In the silent space, there was only the sound of splashing water.
Every second became as long as a century... Shao Lin sat quietly in the water, his whole body getting colder and colder.He subconsciously stretched out his hand in the darkness, his fingertips touched the cold cabin, and then slowly slid down.But he stretched out his hand again without giving up, as if trying to grab something...
I don't know how many times Shao Lin stroked like this, but when the water submerged his chest, he heard a fierce slapping sound from outside the cabin door.
He suddenly woke up.
"Do you really think you have enough chips to exchange with me? No matter what happened back then, no matter what explanation you give me, whether it's the truth or a lie, those who died will never come back!"
"Why - only you - can pretend that nothing happened and start life from scratch?"
