Charles is so shrewd, he has been suspicious of me from the beginning to the end, suspecting that I am the one who killed the old woman, but he is just frustrated for not finding evidence.
Because I did things so cleanly, they will never find me. As a result, Taliesin was implicated, the sister of the old woman was implicated, and I myself got deeply involved. If it weren't for Liu Ying's appearance, I might really not know what to do next.
I might really have to go into exile, live a life of constant upheaval again, forever living in guilt and self-blame, like a stray dog, uncared for, covered in scars, and constantly in danger. But now, none of this will happen. I have chosen to Surrender, to take another path that seems to allow me to continue living with dignity. It's as if I'm living in anticipation and hope once again. It's just that this waiting and hope are different from before.
It's as if I hear God speaking to me: "Child, your past life is gone, and even after death, the grave is not the future. There is nothing in the past, and nothing in the future. Everything is in the present, it's all real and exists! Live in the present, without the shadows of the past, and without the veils of the future. You will live freely, live joyfully!"
"Thanks to God's teachings, thanks to God for sending the preacher Liu Ying to my side, and thanks to all of you for rescuing me and helping me regain a reverence for life. I want to become a person again, to be precise, I want to become a preacher like Liu Ying! I want to fill my heart with love and use the remaining light of my life to help those in need around me! I suddenly see the light and feel that I can also be a useful person, someone who was born to be useful. Grateful!
I met Charles and we talked alone in a room for a long time. Liu Ying sat next to me, confirming every word I said."
"I actually knew early on that the matter was related to you, but I didn't have the evidence to arrest you! In other words, I have been waiting for this day to come," Charles said.
"Yes, with your intelligence, you would definitely have found me out. I myself feel that there are many loopholes in this whole thing, but no one is willing to come forward to accuse me!" I said.
"No, you're wrong again! Someone has come forward to testify against you, she just feels the timing isn't right yet, she wants more time to save you in a different way! Just like the lady beside you, she's that kind of person!" Charles glanced at Taliesin.
"Yes, that's right. If persuading you to Surrender doesn't work, I will also report to the police!" Liu Ying said decisively.
I kept worrying at the time, thinking that it couldn't be that Diehard Shawn Bond had confessed on his own! He used to be someone I admired, and I still have a special feeling for him, based on our little secret. I hope it stays buried in his stomach and never gets known by a third person. I even felt a bit compassionate and wanted to reform him, to make him less stubborn, less strong, less persistent, to let go of everything and truly live in the present. Perhaps that would be the best for him.
"Alright, let's make a record. I'll say, and you write," said Charles.
"How many years will I have to spend in prison? I won't be sentenced to death, will I?" I asked.
"You killed old woman just to gain some wealth? That doesn't make sense. As far as I know, you had a decent job and often mingled with high society people! It's hard to understand what motivated you to do this."
"You guessed it, it's for this wealth that I want to succeed, to have a lot of money and to use it to make more money. Do you know how obsessed I am? I can't help but want to become one of the richest people! I'm a bit too crazy! So crazy that I did something like this. That's the logic of the whole thing! Maybe you think I'm ridiculous, and now I think I'm an extremely ridiculous person."
As I spoke, I kept covering up my helplessness, concealing my childish expression and thoughts. I couldn't look Charles and Liu Ying in the eyes, afraid of the contempt I might see in their eyes. I was so embarrassed, feeling like I still cared so much about my image. But someone once said, a person who wants to succeed, if they don't let go of their pride, they will never truly succeed.
"The human tendency to commit crimes often stems from a momentary impulse. You are a sensible person, and you too were momentarily blinded by self-interest! Otherwise, how should I understand this? Such an understanding seems quite fitting and reasonable! Write in detail about the process of how you killed the old woman, especially your inner thoughts as you carried out each action at the scene. Be as detailed as possible, as these will all affect your sentencing and term. So, young man, you must write seriously!"
Charles turned his gaze to Liu Ying.
"And to this beautiful, generous, and lovely lady, without you, perhaps we wouldn't be sitting here, so clearly wrapping up this case! How did you persuade her to change her mind and convince a murderer to voluntarily surrender? It's not an easy task! I look forward to your logical argument! You must also write me a detailed account, and if it's good, I will commend you! Oh, and you shouldn't sit here, you need to go to another room to avoid influencing each other's testimonies! Take this lady to the room next door!"
Liu Ying was taken away...
"I told you, I have seen this person many times under old woman's building. As expected, he is the real murderer! He looks like a kind person, but he doesn't do kind things. Looks can be deceiving, and the sea cannot be measured!"
"I had suspected it was him a long time ago, but I didn't have any evidence against him. His actions were too clean!"
"It's Charles who doesn't want to make arrests. This matter was originally a sure thing. It's strange that just as it's about to be wrapped up, there's suddenly a demand for Surrender! There must be something fishy going on in the middle!"
"The attitude of confession is so good, I estimate he won't be sentenced to death, at most he'll spend 20 or 30 years in prison!"
"Who is that woman? It seems their relationship is unusual! Are they lovers? Or relatives? This guy used to be quite dashing, with plenty of tabloid news! Isn't it normal for a woman to suddenly appear halfway? What's the big deal!"
"The situation is not as simple as you think, there are many things in between that we don't know!"
"I heard that he has a close relationship with that Diehard Shawn Bond! See, maybe there will be some good news coming out later?"
Other people who are locked up here, upon hearing that Zhang Xiaobei has come to surrender, are quietly discussing on the side...
