S.C.I.谜案集 (Special Criminal Investigation) Book 2

Case 3. Password Killer: Chapter 30. The End, The Start (End of Case)

"Should we question Qiao Weiming first or Wang Yiming?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao thought for a moment and then said, "Wang Yiming."

"Okay." Bai Yutang nodded and opened the door of the interrogation room with Zhan Zhao. The rest of SCI stood outside the glass window of the interrogation room to listen. Even Bai Jintang, Zhao Zhen and the twins listened in out of curiosity. They were really interested in this mute uncle.

"Wang Yiming?" Bai Yutang sat down and looked at him.

The mute uncle raised his head and nodded.

Zhan Zhao asked him, "you're not mute, are you?"

Wang Yiming nodded, "I'm not."

Everyone frowned, because even though he was not mute, his voice was still frighteningly hoarse.

"My vocal cords were injured in the explosion." Wang Yiming said lightly. "I sound a little scary, and was afraid that the principal would find out, so I pretended to be mute."

"Tell me what happened that year." Bai Yutang said.

Wang Yiming looked at them and said slowly, "Qin Qin... He was my childhood sweetheart. He was younger than me. I stayed in school as a teacher. He studied fine arts at the art school. His paintings could not be understood by others because they were abstract paintings. He did a work-study program and worked as a delivery man in his spare time. Because he liked the city very much, he said that he would walk around and take in the scenery as inspiration for his art."

When the mute uncle recalled the past, there was a smile on his face. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other. This man seemed to love Li Qin so deeply that he could no longer walk out from his emotions.

"After the explosion, I really wanted to die." Wang Yiming said. "My world fell apart... Right when I wanted to go join Qin Qin, I found something strange about the gas explosion."

"How did you find out?" Bai Yutang asked.

"I had changed the gas pipe not long before the incident. Because Qin Qin also lives with me, I am very careful about everything at home." Wang Yiming said. "I was only suspicious back then, but when He Kai saw me, it was like he saw a ghost... That's why I wanted to investigate."

"For a while after that, I began to follow him." Wang Yiming snickered. "That night, he got drunk, ran to the river and said everything... He was even apologizing to the river. Does he think saying sorry is enough?"

"Why didn't you kill him then?" Bai Yutang was puzzled.

"He needs to suffer!" Wang Yiming's eyes were cold. "He was drunk at that time. He wouldn't have felt anything if I killed him. That would be going too easy on him..."

"So you waited all these years to kill him?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"I wanted him to live...I wanted him to gradually forget what happened and continue living. Then kill him!" Wang Yiming said a little crazily. "Just like what he did to my Qin Qin. I also want him to die feeling helpless and scared! I want him burned to death! Suffer a hundred times more than Qin Qin did!"

Outside, Bai Chi felt goose bumps all over. Zhao Zhen gently hugged him while shaking his own head helplessly. "This man... His hatred is too deep."

"Hard to blame him." Da Ding said as he shrugged indifferently. "How can he be okay after the incident... It's just that his method may have been a bit cruel in other people's eyes."

Everyone sighed.

"I had to think about the plan for revenge." Wang Yiming said. "Later, when I was going to the grave, I met Liu Fang... Ha!" At this point, Wang Yiming suddenly laughed. "The first time I saw him, I knew he was a heartless man like me... His heart has already been buried in the graveyard."
