My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 81 The dust has settled (13)

(I rethought the last chapter and changed the fruit knife used by the protagonist to kill Shen Xing to a ruler in his hand)

All your past honors will be wiped out, you will be trampled into the dust, and you will be transformed from a respected professor or a future scientist boss into a murderer.

Or a dead murderer.

Your son will live a lifetime of pain and humiliation, and your family will expel you because you have brought shame to the entire family.

You will not get anything you want, and your reputation may even be ruined forever.

These were the heartbreaking words Zhuang Xiao said to Xu Guoping before his death in the hospital "eight years later".

There is no need to say anything at this moment.

In fact, Zhuang Xiao also had two preparations.

If the Grand Tutor and the others hadn't arrived in time, he would have had to kill Xu Guoping in self-defense himself, but the effect would definitely not be as good as it is now.

Looking at Luo Wei standing there in a daze, Zhuang Xiao whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You saved your life."

If Luo Wei had chosen to take action just now, he would be dead now.

Hearing Zhuang Xiao's words, Luo Wei's eyes were filled with fear, and then he was caught off guard by Dong Weirui who rushed over and kicked him with a sweeping kick followed by a series of small grappling moves, knocking him to the ground in the snow.

Li Ming quickly rushed over and handcuffed Luo Wei.

Then he took off the safety of the pistol and put it back into the holster. He lowered his head to check Xu Guoping, who was still dead, and then sighed, "Call the police, and then call 120."

Then he turned his head to look at Zhuang Xiao, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Shu Die didn't have so many thoughts. She rushed over and quickly took out a tissue to cover the bleeding wound on Zhuang Xiao's forehead. She didn't care even if her expensive clothes were stained with blood.

But the panic on her face and the tears rolling down her face made Zhuang Xiao feel helpless.

"I'm fine, just a minor injury."

Then Zhuang Xiao stretched out his hands and said to Li Ming: "Uncle Li, I will follow Dong Zeyu's example and call you that. I know the rules. Come on."

"Sorry, Xiaozhuang, I'm just calling you that. This is the rule. Just go through the process." Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief, then took out a pair of handcuffs and put them on Zhuang Xiao.

"I understand." Zhuang Xiao didn't feel uncomfortable after putting it on, as Li Ming didn't fasten it too tightly.

He raised his hands to appease Shu Die, who was glaring at Li Ming, and then pointed to the open window of the administrative building. "There was another person inside who just hit me with a stick, and I subconsciously hit him. Then there is a secret room in the office, and there is a body inside."

Li Ming's expression immediately changed. "So you were the one who discovered the crime scene and that's why you were hunted down?"

Zhuang Xiao looked bewildered. “I don’t know. I just came here to shoot short video footage, and this is what happened.”

Li Ming pursed his lips and said, "Let's not talk about it for now. When the people arrive, we will go back to the Municipal Bureau. Then, Xiaozhuang, you just need to tell the truth."

Zhuang Xiao nodded, "Okay."

Now the only thing to think about is getting away with it.

Fortunately, Li Ming shot and killed Xu Guoping, so this time it would be easier for him than last time in the warehouse.

After all, he is young enough this time.
-
"Name."

"Zhuang, Zhuang Xiao, the Zhuang Xiao from Zhuang Zhou Xiao Meng."

"age."

"Today is my eighteenth birthday."

"What are you doing going to school so late at night?"

"I'm going to go to school in Beijing after New Year's Day. Plus, today is my 18th birthday, so I thought about shooting some short videos at school, the kind of cool moves that are so popular on the Internet."

At the Municipal Bureau, the police officer sitting opposite Zhuang Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, tell me everything about your whereabouts and what happened tonight."

Zhuang Xiao's face showed fear and embarrassment, "But I don't remember some things so clearly."

"It's okay, just try your best." The policeman was very kind. Seeing that he was a little scared, he tried to persuade him kindly, then poured him a cup of hot water and said, "It's okay to drink some water first."

Zhuang Xiao nodded sincerely, "Okay, I'll try my best"

So that's what it is. It seems that the official's initial assessment of his behavior was self-defense, otherwise the police's attitude would not be so good.

So what else does the other party want to ask himself?
Oh, it’s the case involving Xu Guoping and others.

I'm afraid they are also interrogating Luo Wei now.

But unless that guy was desperate, he was a weak character. Otherwise, he would not have failed to swing the stick.

Yes, Luo Wei’s family is poor and he has a younger sister who is in junior high school.

He is the pillar of the family. If he makes a big mistake, his family will be ruined, so he will compromise.

And he will blame everything this time on Xu Guoping and Shen Xing.

In other words, as long as he spoke the "facts", it would be fine. After all, Shen Xing must have hidden a lot from him.

After all, this guy is such a weak person who can be easily exploited.

After that, as long as I compare what he said with the "facts" I took pictures, it would be considered self-defense.

After that, their focus will shift to Gu Shiyue's case, and no one will care about what he did today.

All Zhuang Xiao has to do is to speak out the facts.

He held the disposable water cup in both hands and recalled for a moment, then spoke uncertainly, "I went back to school around the time when evening self-study was about to end."

Then he immediately explained somewhat embarrassedly, "It's mainly because I'm going to go to Beijing to study after New Year's Day, plus it's my birthday, and short videos are still popular among young people recently, so I thought I could just take some random photos as a souvenir.

“But the school’s evening self-study session hadn’t ended yet, and I was afraid of being discovered, so I went in from the back.

"I thought the leaders in the administration building must have left work early, and since I had never been to the administration building, I went there to shoot. Then I found an office with the door unlocked, so I thought about shooting some footage inside."

Zhuang Xiao shrank his neck. "I had just set up the venue and shot a few scenes when I heard the noise. I quickly hid in the toilet and didn't even have time to put away the filming equipment that I had set up in advance.

"I was praying that they wouldn't find me and my equipment, and then I heard the man go into the office across from the toilet, and then there seemed to be movement in that office.

"Then I heard footsteps entering the office, and then the two men ran out one after the other."

The policeman's expression became more relaxed. "And then you went in?"

"Yes." Zhuang Xiao nodded, "I wanted to quickly take those cameras back to avoid being discovered, but..."

"but what?"

"But I saw a hole in the corner, and out of curiosity I went in, and the result was..."

"In the end, I saw a dead body inside. It was dark and looked like an African. I was so scared that I peed my pants and climbed up."

Zhuang Xiao lowered his head, his voice trembling slightly, "As a result, I was blocked in the house by those three people. I escaped when they were not paying attention, and then they chased me out. I...I..."

Zhuang Xiao's entire body began to tremble slightly, and he was so frightened that he could no longer speak.

"Okay, that's enough."

The policeman couldn't help but come over and pat him on the shoulder, then poured him a cup of hot water, "It's okay, you're safe now."

The policeman smiled and comforted him, then untied his bracelet for him. "Drink some hot water and rest for a while. We have already notified your parents. They will come to pick you up and may come again in a few days."

Zhuang Xiao looked up in astonishment, "But I'm going to Beijing to study after New Year's Day, it won't delay me, right? By the way, brother, is the guy I hit with a ruler okay?"

The policeman recalled the tragic scene he saw when he arrived at the scene.

The man in the corridor had his entire cervical vertebra broken, and the bones pierced his trachea and artery, killing him instantly.

But he still comforted her: "It's okay, you don't have to worry about it."

After he calmed Zhuang Xiao down, he walked out of the office. Li Ming just happened to come out from the next door. When he saw him, he asked, "How is it?"

"The process is similar to what Luo Wei said, except that Luo Wei said he wanted to stop Xu Guoping after seeing it. Zhuang Xiao did not mention this aspect." The policeman replied.

Li Ming shrugged. "It's normal for a kid to be nervous at the time. Fortunately, he had set up cameras in advance. The whole process was captured clearly. There is nothing wrong with their confessions."

He rubbed his temple, "I'm in trouble. I have to go back and write a report."

After all, he fired the gun, and if you fire a gun, you have to write a report.

Fortunately, the chain of evidence was solid and there were eyewitnesses who witnessed him firing the gun, so it wasn't a big problem.

"I just didn't expect a professor to be involved in that case. There's still a lot to investigate." Li Ming sighed, "This is going to be on the national news."

Inside the house, when everything around him began to shatter like glass, Zhuang Xiao, who was holding the cup, felt calmer than ever before.

This "story line" was finally ended by him.

He slowly closed his eyes.
