Eyes that are the same as those of evil

Chapter 244 Confess to Me 17
Was the person who had an affair with the math teacher actually Yuan Hanyue's mother?

Tan Jia was momentarily surprised by this truth.

The original case description stated that the murderer went to confront Liao Xuefang, wanting to force her to divorce her math teacher to make room for her mistress. If Yuan Hanyue's mother was the mistress... no, Yuan's mother wasn't present at the scene; otherwise, framing Zhang Qin as the mistress wouldn't have been so easy.

Instead, Yuan Hanyue appeared at the scene.

What was she doing there? Was she just passing by as a mere witness, or was she one of the perpetrators, going with Zhou Wen'an and the others to find the deceased Liao Xuefang?

Why did they specifically target Liao Xuefang? Was it because Zhou Wen'an carefully selected the only pregnant woman of the right gestational age? Or was it actually Yuan Hanyue who initially led them to Liao Xuefang?

The guess in her mind happened in an instant. Just as she figured it out, Zhang Qin on the rooftop loosened the rope again. Amidst the gasps of the crowd, Yuan Hanyue cried out in terror.

"Yes! I lied! I was just too scared to tell the truth! Teacher Zhang, please forgive me! I really know I was wrong!"

Zhang Qin's voice was amplified by the loudspeaker, and her laughter sounded distorted and harsh through the mechanical transmission: "You know you were wrong, but in all these years, have you ever once thought about telling the truth?"

"I've thought about it, I've thought about it! I'm just... I'm just too scared!"

"You're scared? Aren't you the one most afraid of me? You want to tell the truth, so why don't you? You didn't speak up when I was being insulted, you didn't speak up when I was sentenced, and you still didn't speak up when I went to prison. You hesitated until the very last moment, and didn't you even breathe a sigh of relief? You thought that since I was already sentenced, there was no need to torture yourself by agonizing over it, right? Disgusting! You might as well just say that you want me to take the blame. You did something wrong and then tried to justify it by saying that you didn't mean it that way. People like you are even more disgusting than people who simply did something wrong!"

Zhang Qin's voice was filled with gritted teeth as she shook the rope again, and Yuan Hanyue's screams were filled with fear.

“Teacher Zhang, please! I really wanted to tell the truth, but Zhou Wen’an was staring at me, and I didn’t dare! They are the murderers! I just didn’t dare…”

"You're still lying! Do you know why I care more about what you did than those beasts? Because you weren't completely evil, so I had hope for you. But you dealt me ​​the heaviest blow. Do you know how devastated I was when I heard you testify in court that I was the murderer? I had only been a teacher at Lian Middle School for half a year that year, and it was precisely when I was full of hope for you students and wanted to get along with you!"

"Am I not good to you? Have I ever hit you or scolded you? I even talked to you when I knew your grades were dropping. I was worried you weren't eating enough and I wanted you to get into a good university and grow into a successful person! But you twisted the truth and pointed at me, saying I was a murderer who abused and killed a pregnant woman and that I was having an affair with Teacher Dong! Why did you do this!"

Her screams were so loud they stopped the whispers downstairs.

The teacher and students fell into different silences, and as they were being evacuated by the police, they looked back at their former teacher, Mr. Zhang.

Tan Jia looked up and stared intently at the rooftop. The lights from the fire truck focused on it, illuminating Zhang Qin's twisted and frantic expression clearly.

Yuan Hanyue's life is in grave danger.

An inflatable cushion had been set up downstairs, and doctors and police officers were trying their best to reason with Zhang Qin and calm her down.

Zheng Yan and his group made their way to the top floor, and their advice could be heard intermittently downstairs.

But the loudest sound was Yuan Hanyue's incoherent pleas for mercy.

"It was my fault, it was my fault! Teacher Zhang, Teacher Zhang, I beg you, I've suffered so much these past ten years, I wanted to come see you, I wanted to..."

"Suffering? Hahahaha! What's the use of your suffering? You think you're suffering and you say you're suffering, but it doesn't stop you from eating and drinking well, going out happily with your friends, or hanging out with that bunch of little bastards, or rolling around in bed with that beast Zhou Wen'an!"

"Actually, you're also very afraid of Zhou Wen'an, aren't you? Anyone would be afraid of that kind of beast who tortured and killed pregnant women at such a young age. That's why I helped you. If it weren't for me, when would you have been able to muster the courage to kill him? It would probably be very difficult, just like you would never have been able to muster the courage to tell me the truth."

"But after seeing the bodies, I realized you're quite something. You stabbed his face with a screwdriver; you smashed his nose and eye socket. And Zhang Tai, oh, and Zhou Qi, they should be dead too, right? You seem to have a lot of 'potential.' Did you also lay a hand on Liao Xuefang back then? Right, your mother and that Dong guy had an affair, and you found out. You didn't blame your mother, nor did you dare go to that Dong guy, but you arrogantly went to the pregnant Liao Xuefang, wanting her to control her man… You're actually a born bully, a coward, a treacherous beast!" "What are you trembling about? What are you afraid of? The only times you were afraid were when you went to Liao Xuefang, watching Zhou Wen'an and the others torture her to death, afraid of being implicated, and when you found out I was released from prison, right? You beast, like Zhou Wen'an, Zhou Qi, and that other beast, like that bitch Dong, you all have to go to the underworld and apologize to Liao Xuefang! Apologize to me, to my parents!!!"

"Zhang Qin! Stop! You still have a way out!" Zheng Yan's voice rose.

Tan Jia opened her eyes wide, and in that instant, the scene seemed to turn into slow motion.

Zhang Qin grinned menacingly and cut the not-so-tough rope with a single stroke. Yuan Hanyue, terrified, lost control of her bladder and screamed as she plummeted to the ground. The police officers rushed towards her.

The inflatable cushion failed to function, and Yuan Hanyue fell onto a roadside tree, with recently pruned branches piercing through her chest.

Blood flowed down the tree trunk.

Tan Jia slowly closed his eyes, then opened them again, and saw Zhang Qin laughing loudly into the loudspeaker before falling from the high-rise building.

Zheng Yan, who was a step late, missed his chance and almost fell, but was saved by Xiao Chen behind him.

thump—

Zhang Qin miraculously avoided the tree branch and landed on the inflatable mat.

...

It's midnight.

Tan Jia sat on a bench in the hospital, feeling somewhat sleepy.

Her hands, which were kneading the dough, hadn't moved for several minutes. Her head was lowered, and even the green wolf tail looked somewhat dim under the suddenly brightened lights.

Then a pair of hands with distinct knuckles gently covered her eyes and pulled her onto his shoulders.

Lin Zhiyue glanced down at her, then turned to face Zheng Yan, who was walking over.

He coldly held up his index finger to his lips.

She's asleep. That's what he mouthed.

Zheng Yan stopped and sat down beside him, slumping his shoulders, rubbing his face and letting out a deep breath.

In a place like this, even the sound of deep breathing is quite noticeable. Tan Jia woke up with her eyes half-closed and asked in a hoarse voice, "How are you?"

Zheng Yan ignored Lin Zhiyue's displeased gaze and said gravely, "Dead."

Yuan Hanyue died especially quickly.

Moreover, someone just reported that Teacher Dong was also found dead in her new home after her second marriage.

Only Zhang Qin is still in the operating room.
