Throne of Radiance
Chapter 31 The Puppeteer VI
Gong Fang turned around with difficulty, his footsteps were extremely heavy.His expression was that of a prisoner about to go to the execution ground.
The projection screen behind him has already quietly lit up.
He had expected to see a crying face of his own son, and in fact, there was a picture of the boy on the curtain, but it was just a background image.
Lines of cold text emerged on the background.
[More than ten years ago, from Yuan's Group to Gong's Group, everything has changed. ]
[For the sake of reputation, you did not give up the charitable projects under the name of the Yuan Group, including funding for orphanages. ]
[But the gap between hard work and perfunctory will also lead to the gap formed after everything is implemented. ]
[——Miss Yuan's care year after year has made the Happy Orphanage worthy of its name, and your perfunctory year after year has made everything go downhill. ]
[You are initially unwilling to bear the expense of supporting a large group of burdens, but you are unwilling to give up the prestige it brings you.Self-proclaimed smart, you quickly came up with a great idea. ]
[The huge industry of the Gong Group has provided you with help.The monetary support given to the orphanage has been replaced by more practical materials, and a large number of naval forces have promoted the intimate and down-to-earth charity method of the Gong Group. ]
[Cheap clothes that are exquisite on the surface but will be broken after a few times of wearing, hoarded food that looks delicious but has long expired and has not been sold out, toys that cannot be released from the market due to defects during production... These orphanages seem to be your dumping A place to dispose of defective products and garbage. ]
[Originally this was nothing.Even though the treatment has dropped a lot compared to before, the children have nothing to complain about, and they are already full of gratitude for being fed and clothed. ]
[But they don't know that the lower limit of people is constantly lowering.You quietly stretch out the first hand, and the people below will stretch out the second hand, and the third hand... Until one day five years ago, children in the Happy Orphanage were on the news because of collective food poisoning, and they were worried that they would attract the police. You who investigated and exposed everything finally panicked. ]
[——Temporarily attracting public opinion to the chef who was in charge of the meals in the cafeteria that day, you decided to destroy the evidence, including hoarding unfinished ingredients in the orphanage warehouse.Including records such as the orphanage's long-term purchase list. ]
[The dean, who was bought by you a long time ago, started to act that night.He sent all the children to bed early, and locked the doors of all the rooms outside in order to prevent naughty children from coming out in the middle of the night and breaking his actions. ]
[—And in the process of destroying the evidence, maybe it was because he was too flustered, maybe it was an accident, maybe it was him who set fire to destroy the evidence, in short, a fire started from the warehouse and spread to the entire orphanage. ]
[The children who were choked up in their sleep panicked, they knocked on the door, yelled, cried, howled...]
[But the dean and his helpers were already trapped by the fire in the warehouse, and it was too late to save themselves. The others were temporarily sent out of the orphanage with excuses as early as that night... When the rescue arrived, it was too late. ]
[—They were thus burned alive in the fire. ]
[The fire was finally defined as an accidental fire, and all people and things were destroyed by the flames.You breathed a sigh of relief—everything you worried about hadn’t been exposed, and it was impossible for anyone to stand up and accuse you. You even got rid of a group of burdens because of this, shed a few tears and lamented in front of people hypocritically, and let You get many compliments. ]
[—No matter how you think about it, you have made a lot of money. ]
Gong Fang's pupils contracted little by little, and he heard the sound of his teeth being clenched tightly, and the words floating between his teeth: "Mr. K, you misunderstood, I don't know anything... I, I didn't expect , Those people below will enrich their own pockets like this, and even push it on my head..." He said in great pain, "It's all my fault for trusting them too much, I didn't expect to end up harming these children!"
Gong Fang is very clear that he has equipment installed by the police on his body. Once he admits something here, he will be ruined if he waits for him, and he will be sentenced to prison if he is severely punished.
At the police station, the people who have been watching all this from a distance, and at the same time not forgetting to collect clues to track down K, of course also judged the truth from his reaction.
Liu Ningshuang, who has the most fiery personality, slapped the table with a slap: "This scum!" She said angrily, "Why didn't the serial killer target this guy before?"
After she finished speaking, she knew she had made a slip of the tongue, and she really shouldn't have said such tendentious words in her own capacity, so she quickly covered her mouth.But the eyes that are round with anger are still staring at the computer screen.
The faces of the others were not good-looking, but they were much more sensible than her: "The people who arranged to follow Gong Fang all the way should be guarding the suburbs now, right? Pay attention to the situation at any time!"
The rules of the game are only for him to play alone, but it is impossible for the police station to do nothing. They have always arranged for people to keep a sufficient distance to follow, so that they can show up in time when there is any emergency.
Li Fufeng comforted him and said, "Don't worry, as long as he really broke the law, we will never allow him to escape the law even if no evidence is found for the time being. In any case, after this incident, he must be investigated. "
At this moment, a new picture appeared on the bright projection screen in the orphanage warehouse.
So people's attention is drawn to the past again.
"Clap clap clap!"
With crisp and rhythmic applause, the figure of a young man slowly appeared in the gradually lit curtain.
He smiled and praised: "Your acting skills really opened my eyes, Mr. Gong."
"—but it doesn't matter."
The young man lowered his eyes slightly, his tone tinged with sarcasm.
"It's not my duty to pursue truth or justice."
In Gong Fang's bright eyes, he smiled slightly: "All I have to do is find suitable targets and play a little game with them."
He raised his eyes to look at Gong Fang at the other end of the screen, his dark eyes were like mist, and a large shadow spread in his eyes.
"Dangdang, now I announce that the customs clearance failed~"
He playfully raised his hands and made a cross.
He then calmly announces the game penalty.
"—those children lost their lives here, and you will lose your son here forever."
Gong Fang stood up suddenly: "You killed Xiaotian?!!"
"Oh, why do you think so? Do I look like such a cruel person? Could it be that this is the legendary self-criticism?!" The young man suddenly leaned back, showing an exaggerated expression of surprise.
The screen moved backwards with his movements, revealing a child who was playing with toys at another table behind him, as if he couldn't see what was going on here.
·
"—Milk tea shop! It's that milk tea shop!"
In the police station, Li Fufeng woke up suddenly when he saw the environment of the young man on the other end of the projection, "Quick! Go!"
"—he must be there!"
·
In the warehouse of the orphanage, Gong Fang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the little boy obediently playing with toys on the other side of the screen.
The young man who noticed this bent his eyes in a vicious manner, sat upright again, and inserted the knife solemnly: "What's more, this is not your biological son at all!"
Gong Fang:? ? ?
"...You lost a son, but gained the precious truth. Are you surprised? Are you moved?"
A thoughtful blood identification report appeared on the screen.
"This, this is impossible!" Gong Fang was in a mess.
... Just a few hours ago, he completely cut off the last ties with his biological daughter for this son, and completely pushed the daughter who might have been saved away from him. A few hours later, he told him that Not his son?
...He came all the way here, risking everything and even going to jail, just for a bastard?
...He is extinct? ? ?
Gong Fang's body shook and he fell to the ground.
The young man on the other side of the curtain smiled and complained: "Oh my god, are the elderly so osteoporotic?"
He held out his hand, as if about to turn off the projection.
The next moment, he withdrew his hand, and suddenly turned his head to the side, and a black shadow flashed across his face.
If you take a closer look, you will find that it is a long black umbrella. When someone stabs it straight, it is like a long sword suddenly unsheathed.
Looking up along the tip of the umbrella, the dark umbrella handle is held in a slender palm. A man who suddenly appeared in a long black windbreaker, with light golden hair hanging from his forehead covering his eyelids, made him There was no warmth in his eyes.
It was raining outside the window at some point.
The young man sitting in front of the table didn't move at all, just stretched out two fingers to pinch the tip of the umbrella away from both sides, and raised his head with a smile: "Oh, oh, it's too embarrassing to invite you here without the owner's permission." I'm sorry!"
The blond man who suddenly appeared lowered his head and looked at him, suddenly raised his lips, and there was a gentle blue wave in his lowered eyes.
"It seems even more impolite to use someone else's name without permission. And, if I didn't make a mistake, then I shouldn't be considered uninvited?"
His tone was gentle and elegant, and he gently rotated the umbrella handle with his palm, and his breath immediately became dangerous: "What do you say?" "K", sir, sir? "
The two exchanged pleasantries like old friends.
The projection not far away is from Gong Fang at the other end of the projection, like a garbage that is no longer useful, and was directly forgotten by the two in the corner.
"Cough, cough, cough." Being called "Mr. K", the young man coughed lightly twice, as if acknowledging the meaning of the other person's words, "Ah, it's just a small test."
"Test if I have the means to be exploited?"
"It seems that you have discovered it a long time ago. Sure enough, the purpose of deliberately provoking the police is to cause trouble for both of us at the expense of others? It is indeed the new member I fancy."
"Unfortunately, you don't meet my aesthetics."
The blond man's tone is elegant, but his movements are sharp and fierce. He seems to be dancing with a black umbrella in his hand: "He came to this world one step ahead of me, and he seems to know everything about me clearly. He can target me as soon as I appear. Guided by my aesthetics... I am really curious about your identity!"
The black umbrella drew a sharp arc in mid-air, but it seemed to have drawn through another space of nothingness. The young man shrouded in shadow did not even make an evasive gesture.
He still had the time to remind: "Hey, hey, wait another minute, and the police will come, Mr. Wanted."
"Manipulated everything behind the scenes, used me to clear the target for you, and also completed a small, small, test, test..." The blond man re-read the last four words, "I have done it in such a short period of time. You, who have so many things to do, are not in a hurry to leave, so why should I be in a hurry?"
The sound of dense footsteps sounded downstairs, although it was slight, it was very obvious to them.
The blond man looked at the ripples in the shadows passing by the tip of the umbrella, and suddenly smiled: "So it's the shadow of Dawn City..."
"Hey, hey, hey, he's still a fellow townsman, and soon he will be an accomplice. It's not good to want to expose me like that."
"Partner?" The blond man was slightly taken aback.
"No matter what, I still have a vacancy here."
"If it is the position of the president of the Shadow Council, I can consider it."
With the sound of approaching footsteps, he stopped staying, jumped out of the window, and disappeared into the rain in an instant.
The young man who was left sitting there met face to face with Li Fufeng and others who rushed in.
"Ah, I was betrayed ruthlessly."
Facing the gun pointed at him, he sighed, and raised his hand obediently, without any intention of resisting.
"...Today is another day when we can't recruit new members and have to go to work in person."
He suddenly remembered something, and looked at Li Fufeng: "By the way, your aptitude is also good, and you can be listed as an investigation target..."
Under Li Fufeng's eyes full of question marks, he stretched out his hands cooperatively and let the other party handcuff him, and asked with a smile, "Can you tell me your name?"
There is nothing to say, Li Fufeng smiled, and cuffed the handcuffs tightly: "Li Fufeng."
"……I remember."
Li Fufeng shook his head, and was about to take him away, but found that the other party stood still, and seemed not to cooperate so much.
He looked over in astonishment.
The young man who was chatting and laughing a moment ago blinked his eyes, the shadow deep in the bottom of his eyes receded quickly, his eyes became confused, and he gradually woke up from the confusion.
Looking at the policeman in front of him and the handcuffs on his wrists, he panicked and said blankly: "This, this, this, what happened?"
The projection screen behind him has already quietly lit up.
He had expected to see a crying face of his own son, and in fact, there was a picture of the boy on the curtain, but it was just a background image.
