Animal Detective

Chapter 138 Jealousy
In the video, Yuanyuan did not bite down firmly.

Wang Lei's chin was cut, and blood immediately started flowing.

He looked stunned, then slapped Yuanyuan across the face, before grabbing her collar and leaving the camera's view.

They should be kept in a cage.

His voice could still be heard: "Family, I'm fine, I just got bitten. I just said, this dog is acting crazy today."

About a minute later, he reappeared on camera.

The blood from both wounds had been wiped away, and no iodine was applied; just two simple bandages were put on.

A chill ran down Shen Xin's spine.

Normally, if you are bitten by a septic dog, you should immediately rinse the wound with running water and then clean it with soap.

Of course, these measures are probably not very useful. The most important thing is to go to the hospital to get a rabies vaccine.

Wang Lei did not take any action in order to facilitate the live broadcast.

This is a recipe for disaster.

After sitting down, he said as if nothing had happened, "It's okay, family. This dog has been vaccinated against rabies, so it's fine. It often scratches me too."

Then, he continued to thank the man who had just given him the "cloud-piercing arrow," and asked if the man had any other requests, which he would try his best to fulfill.

He couldn't even pronounce the account name correctly.

The next moment, the account reappeared and sent a Cloud Piercing Arrow.

"Damn, what's this, a celebration?" Zhao Tianxing shouted, pointing at the screen.

The first arrow pierced the clouds, sending Wang Lei to the gallows.

The second one felt like he was celebrating on his own.

Even more terrifying, Wang Lei actually excitedly thanked this man for sending the Cloud Piercing Arrow.

Shen Xin came to his senses.

That's it, this is the live stream.

The 8th, the timing matches up.

Ding Yuwei gasped, pointing at the account that was ranked first because of the two Cloud Piercing Arrows, and said, "This account, could it be Zhang Qingpeng's?"

She suddenly shuddered.

this moment.

Through a computer screen and an internet cable, Zhang Qingpeng is probably watching Wang Lei's live stream.

Two arrows pierced the clouds, and Wang Lei himself walked down the path to death.

So, what was Zhang Qingpeng's state of mind at this moment, witnessing all of this firsthand?

He coldly watched someone fall into his trap, and then continued to live by Wang Lei's side, watching him walk step by step toward death.

Inside Lenovo's interrogation room, Ding Yuwei could hardly reconcile the image of Zhang Qingpeng, who was so frightened that he trembled as he spoke.

Shen Xin felt uneasy and picked up the phone to call Manager Li again.

"The account that tipped two Cloud Piercing Arrows in the match on the 8th, Officer Shen, please wait a moment while I check the backend records."

Soon, Manager Li said, "This account was registered on September 15th and had no other spending records. Then, at 9:11 PM on October 8th, which was about ten minutes after he tipped two Cloud Piercing Arrows, he voluntarily deleted the account."

"However, we have his registration information and phone number in our backend."

He gave me a phone number.

Shen Xin's heart skipped a beat.

Zhang Qingpeng's.

Mobile communication investigations show that Zhang Qingpeng has two mobile phone numbers registered under his name.

They belong to two different telecommunications service providers.

It seems that the number Manager Li provided was used as his work number.

"Manager Li, please send us the relevant information."

Shen Xin hung up the phone.

The most needed evidence is now available.

Even if we can't find Yuanyuan the dog in the end, it won't be a big problem.

Yuanyuan fell ill on the 8th and is now long dead, disposed of by Zhang Qingpeng.

Zhang Qingpeng's continued refusal to cooperate with the investigation is likely because he's waiting for the platform to delete the live stream video.

In four days, the most crucial evidence will be gone.

"Damn it, this kid is too ruthless." Zhao Tianxing cursed, then tugged at Ding Yuwei, signaling her to interrogate him again.

“I want to ask him why he had to kill Wang Lei.”

An investigation revealed that the two had no disputes regarding property or women.

Is it all because of an argument?
Shen Xin also wanted to know the answer to this question.

In the interrogation room.

Zhao Tianxing entered the room with a dark expression.

Zhang Qingpeng immediately tensed up.

“Zhang Qingpeng, this is your last chance. Speak up, and it will be considered a confession. If you don’t, then I will,” Zhao Tianxing said coldly. Zhang Qingpeng started trembling again, his lips shaking as he said, “I don’t know what to say. He was bitten to death by a dog. It has nothing to do with me.”

"is it?"

Zhao Tianxing laughed, stood up, and slammed a folder in front of Zhang Qingpeng.

"Then show me, what's the difference between the dog in this video and the dog in this video?"

This was the trump card we had prepared beforehand.

Zhang Qingpeng glanced at it a few times, then trembled even more violently, shaking his head and saying, "No...nothing's different, it's just a dog."

"Still trying to quibble, huh?"

Zhao Tianxing sat back down, turned the computer screen directly towards him, and started playing Wang Lei's live stream video from the 8th.

The moment Wang Lei appeared on the screen, Zhang Qingpeng suddenly let out a sharp cry of alarm, as if he had seen a ghost. He gripped the back of his chair tightly, extremely panicked.

As the video played, he became increasingly panicked.

It seems to be confirmed that this is indeed the live stream video from the 8th.

Then, he actually peed!

I was so scared I peed myself.

"Why...why are you showing me this?" He hadn't given up yet.

Zhao Tianxing glanced at his pants with disgust, fast-forwarded to the part where Wang Lei was bitten, and then said coldly, "Zhang Qingpeng, that was a good shot with your Cloud Piercing Arrow."

One sentence shattered all of Zhang Qingpeng's psychological defenses.

When Wang Lei saw the video of Yuan Yuan suddenly biting him, he broke down and started crying.

"I...I didn't mean to...I didn't."

He could barely speak properly and was crying uncontrollably.

Zhao Tianxing and Ding Yuwei watched coldly.

In the monitoring room, Shen Xin also watched coldly, trying to see through Zhang Qingpeng's ugly demeanor and the devilish face beneath.

It took Zhang Qingpeng a full five minutes to recover. He said in a panic, "I really didn't mean to kill him. I saw him dead in the hospital. His face was contorted, his mouth was open, and his eyes were wide open, staring at me like that."

"I really regretted it then!"

"No, I regretted it the day after he was bitten. I wanted him to get a rabies vaccine. It had only been a few hours since he was bitten, so it should still be in time."

“But I didn’t dare. You don’t know, I was terrified. I was afraid he would find out what I had done, so I really regretted it. I didn’t want to kill him.”

He frantically tried to defend himself.

Zhao Tianxing didn't believe this nonsense at all.

"You're not regretting it, you're committing a crime and you're afraid of being discovered!" Zhao Tianxing coldly rebuked.

The regret that comes from killing is never the act of killing itself, but the fear of being punished.

"Tell me, why did you kill him?" Zhao Tianxing asked in a deep voice.

Shen Xin immediately perked up his ears.

Zhang Qingpeng was in a very bad state. After a long while, he stammered, "I don't know what I was thinking at the time. That night, the streamer I was working with was the one I was planning short video content for. I revised it many times, but he was still not satisfied."

“I remember it was revised so many times that I was fed up with it. But he said it still wasn’t good and needed to be revised again. What could I do? He’s a streamer, and the company depends on them. We all have to cooperate with him.”

At this moment, Wang Lei said something.

Zhang Qingpeng gritted his teeth; even now, when he talks about this incident, his eyes still reveal a glint of anger.

He said to me, "You only earn that little bit of money a month, and you're working like a dog every day. Is it worth it?" He told me to learn from him, saying that he could earn as much as I did in a month from just one video.

"How dare he say that!"

Zhang Qingpeng suddenly widened his eyes and questioned loudly.

"What is he pretending for in front of me? When I was famous, he was like this, always trying to get close to me by calling me 'Brother Peng'."

"When I was making money, he was nobody!"

"He's made some money from a viral video, what's he bragging about? He's just lucky, what's his talent?"

He glared at him and retorted angrily.

Zhao Tianxing and Ding Yuwei exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Inside the monitoring room, Shen Xin's eyes widened as well.

Just because of this one sentence?

Zhao Tianxing paused for a moment, then said, "You were jealous of him, so you chose to kill him."

Zhang Qingpeng bit his lip so hard that it bled, then nodded and said, "That's right, I'm jealous of him. Why is he so popular again, while I'm more capable than him? Why am I in this situation?"

"And my parents, all they do is ask me for money, and then give it to my good-for-nothing brother. Where did they get the money to build their house? It was me who earned it. I livestream until late at night every day, calling everyone 'big brother' and 'big sister' over and over again. I earned it penny by penny."

"Okay, now that I can't make money, I'm starting to say I'm useless and all I do is play video games."

"Screw them, all I did was not make money, what right do they have to talk to me like that?"

"So I'm jealous of Wang Lei. Who is he? Why did he become famous? And he even puts on airs. I'm going to kill him."

His features scrunched up, his cheeks twitched unnaturally, and he spoke indignantly.
