Hao Hongtao, with a face full of beard and reeking of alcohol, was initially shocked upon seeing Captain Xing, then his expression turned to one of fear. His next instinct was to close the door, but Captain Xing seemed to have anticipated this move and quickly blocked the door with his hand.
"Why are you so afraid to see me?"
Hao Hongtao trembled slightly and attempted to shut the door again. With a little force from Captain Xing, the door was pushed open violently, slamming against the wall.
"How did you know I was living here?" he asked in a trembling voice. He couldn't remember telling anyone his address, except for her, of course.
"You don't need to know that. You're a smart man; you should understand why I'm here to find you." Captain Xing walked into the room, surveying the less than twenty-square-meter space.
The room was a standard layout, featuring a kitchen and a bathroom. The furnishings were simple: just a bed, a table, and a chair. In the far right corner stood a brown suitcase, while the table was cluttered with some books and beer cans. Some beer had spilled over, soaking the textbooks on the table. A few more textbooks were carelessly tossed beside the bed, which was in complete disarray—stinky socks and dirty shirts and pants were haphazardly thrown together at the head of the bed, and there was even vomit at the foot of the bed.
The smell in the room was unbearable. Captain Xing opened the kitchen door to find it empty, then opened a window to let fresh air circulate through the room.
"Is this how you live every day?" Captain Xing asked as he sat down on the chair.
Hao Hongtao didn't respond; he simply closed the door and plopped down at the foot of the bed, completely ignoring the disgusting vomit in front of him.
"Ha ha, I'm just a useless person now; why care about living?" He chuckled bitterly and grabbed a beer from the table to continue drinking.
Captain Xing said helplessly, "Do you realize that living like this will only make those who care about you dislike you even more?"
"Dislike me? Ha ha! She never liked me; she just used me as a tool. Now she's found someone she likes, and I've become useless to her. She won't even look at me anymore."
"I want to know who this 'she' is that you're talking about and what secrets lie between you two."
Hao Hongtao looked up in surprise and said, "I thought you already knew who she is! Ha ha."
"It's Qin Yu, isn't it?"
He showed a look of surprise again, then thought for a moment and said, "That's right, it's her."
Captain Xing was somewhat taken aback; he originally thought he wouldn't admit it, after all, she was the person he liked, and wanting to protect her was normal.
"Heh heh, her vanity is too strong; I can only blame myself for being confused for a moment."
Next, he recounted a shocking story because no one would expect that a seemingly fragile girl could be so ruthless inside.
Qin Yu, like Hao Hongtao, came from a rural area. From a young age, Qin Yu had a strong sense of vanity and was also beautiful, so she always dreamed of developing in the big city. However, unlike other girls who went out to work, she was very diligent and had always performed well academically. Therefore, getting into college was easy for her. Hao Hongtao managed to get into college entirely because of her; she promised him that as long as he got into college, she would date him. Hao Hongtao foolishly held onto this expectation and studied hard alongside her. At that time, they were the only two from their impoverished village to get into college, so the entire village supported them, and Hao Hongtao believed their future was bright.
After arriving at college, Hao Hongtao treated her as his girlfriend and was very good to her. However, Qin Yu was very cold towards him. Yet he repeatedly deceived himself into thinking it was due to academic pressure when in fact Qin Yu didn't care about studying at all; what she truly cared about was how to make money.
Qin Yu wanted money, and Hao Hongtao didn't mind. So he tried every means to earn money for her. But what good jobs could there be in such a remote place? The money he earned was completely insufficient for her expenses. One day, Qin Yu suddenly came to find Hao Hongtao and asked him to help her pursue a female classmate. At first, he refused, but Qin Yu threatened him by saying she would never talk to him again if he didn't comply. So he had no choice but to agree. The person Qin Yu wanted Hao Hongtao to pursue was Zhuo Xiaoman.
"I heard there were quite a few people pursuing Zhuo Xiaoman at that time; why were you able to win her over?" Although Captain Xing knew this question might be disheartening, it was an important one.
"Heh heh!" Hao Hongtao smiled sadly and said, "You must be wondering why someone like me—without looks or talent—could attract Zhuo Xiaoman, right? It's because Xiaoyu taught me a method that made her have no choice but to date me."
It was clear without asking that they must have used some despicable means.
"If I pursued her, she would definitely reject me because I know she turned down everyone who pursued her; she just wanted to study hard. Zhuo Man is truly a good girl, but I ended up harming her. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have died." As he spoke, he actually started crying; he must have regretted it deeply.
Captain Xing remained silent and searched around the room but couldn't find the tissue he wanted. However, he saw a white handkerchief by the pillow and picked it up. Captain Xing initially intended for him to wipe his tears with it, but Hao Hongtao snatched it away and held it tightly in his arms.
"The worst thing I've ever done in my life is what I did to Zhuo Man. Yet she was kind enough not to hate me at all and even gave me this handkerchief."
The handkerchief was from Zhuo Xiaoman? He had thought it would be from Qin Yu!
"If I had known that the handkerchief she gave me would be the last thing she left for me, I would never have let her die; I would have taken her away from here." Tears and snot streamed down Hao Hongtao's face.
"Is this Handkerchief what she gave you before she died?"
"Yes, she said some strange things to me at that time. I found it odd, but I never thought that such a timid person would actually commit suicide."
Captain Xing frowned and said, "Are you saying that Zhuo Xiaoman is very timid?"
"Yes, she is very timid. A little bug could make her scream."
His words made Captain Xing ponder. If Zhuo Xiaoman was so timid, then why would she tell such a terrifying story? The answer might be that the story wasn't told by Zhuo Xiaoman, but then who could it be? Could it be Qin Yu?
"Does Qin Yu like to tell stories?"
"Qin Yu is a very realistic girl. To put it bluntly, she has a strong sense of revenge. If you make her unhappy, she will definitely make you suffer too, and she doesn't like stories at all."
Captain Xing nodded, thinking for a moment before asking, "So what method did you mention earlier to get Zhuo Xiaoman to date you?"
Hao Hongtao lowered his head and slowly took out a cigarette from his coat pocket, lit it, took a puff, then extinguished the cigarette butt and threw it on the ground as he stood up. He walked over to the suitcase in the corner and took out a disc from inside. Then he leisurely pulled out a laptop from the drawer and placed it in front of Captain Xing.
"You'll know when you see this."
Having experienced countless cases, Captain Xing immediately recognized what it was. Many criminals now use this to threaten victims not to report to the police and then extort money from them. Although he knew what it was, he still opened it to take a look.
His guess was indeed correct; inside were **photos of Zhuo Xiaoman, but clearly, in every photo, she was unconscious. This meant she had been drugged when the pictures were taken. The following video made him feel that they were truly despicable because it showed Zhuo Xiaoman being raped. In this video, she was awake and struggling hard, but there seemed to be someone holding her down. This was obviously a trap.
"The man inside is me," Hao Hongtao said without any concealment. Perhaps he regretted his actions after Zhuo Xiaoman's death and felt guilty about what he had done.
Closing the laptop, Captain Xing took out the disc and said, "I need to take this disc back with me. I suspect all of this was orchestrated by Qin Yu! However, since you say that Zhuo Xiaoman didn't resent you, why did she choose to commit suicide?"
"Qin Yu recorded these things to threaten Zhuo Xiaoman, forcing her to become a prostitute to earn money for her."
Hearing his words, Captain Xing was really angry. A girl filming these things and making another girl work as a prostitute to earn money? Is this something a person would do?
"Hehe, isn't it infuriating? I thought the same way at first, and I even advised her not to do it, but she wouldn't listen. I was also confused at that time and ended up being deceived by her. Hehe, now I regret it so much, but what's the use?"
Captain Xing had nothing more to say because he already knew his own mistakes. He brought Hao Hongtao into the police station, and the next step was to arrest Qin Yu.
"Are you saying that everything is Qin Yu's doing?" Ruan Hongmei said in surprise upon hearing this news.
Su Jin'er remained silent. Although the news was shocking, there were still many questions that arose alongside the shock, and perhaps those questions were also what Captain Xing was wondering about.
That is, why did Wang Xiangxiang and Guo Xiaoli die? Or was it that Guo Xiaoli committed suicide out of excessive grief after learning about Zhuo Xiaoman's situation? What about Wang Xiangxiang?
"Has Qin Yu been arrested? She should be locked up in prison. She's quite pretty; how could she do such a despicable thing?" Ruan Hongmei asked Chu Feifan and Zuo Yi.
"I think Captain Xing has already made the arrest! And this time Captain Xing used the same method as when he arrested Li Yiqian, secretly taking her away. I've also heard that she kept saying she was wronged, but to prevent more students from knowing, she didn't shout or make a scene."
Su Jin'er nodded. However, for some reason, she still felt that Qin Yu wasn't the Killer, but she couldn't find any evidence.
