248 Memories
“Mom, don’t. Let me handle it.” Dong Chang snatched the fruit knife from her hand and threw it aside. He turned around and went to the balcony to retrieve a piece of rope to tie Dong Heng’s hands and feet. He then fed him some sleeping pills. After confirming that he would not wake up for a while, he moved him back to the empty room and waited until it was dark before taking the next step.
Mother Dong originally had a property in the bungalow district, but it was now under Dong Chang’s name. It would be put to good use now.
Under the cover of darkness, Dong Chang dragged her into the car and drove to the bungalow. He remembered that there was a basement there that was suitable for hiding someone.
Everything was ready and Dong Chang kept Dong Heng captive. Every few days, he would send Dong Heng some scraps. Dong Heng’s initial anger gradually turned dulled, and his vision begain to blur after not seeing light for some time.
Dong Chang counted the days. When Dong Heng was just skin and bones, he began to implement his plan.
More than ten years ago, he had been unable to avenge Wan Wan. Now, his wish could finally be realized.
He had personally found the targets and repeatedly forced Dong Heng to commit capital offenses. But he gradually found great pleasure in this revenge.
Shen Yin was right about one thing. Killing people was really addictive.
He suddenly could not bear to hand Dong Heng over to the police and let him die.
He began to go even further, forcing Dong Heng to cut open the stomach of the innocent victim and making him dig out the intestines. He wanted Dong Heng to arrange the corpse according to his instructions.
Until he met Shen Luo.
In the interrogation room, Dong Chang’s eyes were filled with nostalgia. He could not help but raise his hand to his heart, trying hard to recall the feeling of the girl snuggling against his chest that day.
“She looks like Wan Wan. Tell me, wouldn’t it be wonderful if she was really Wan Wan?” The corners of Dong Chang’s mouth were dry. He subconsciously licked his dry lips and said with a longing gaze, “If Wan Wan were still alive, she might be much prettier than her.”
Zou Sheng was in charge of interrogating Dong Chang, but he was actually a little afraid of this psychotic killer in front of him.
Dong Chang’s affectionate gaze made Zou Sheng shudder. He rapped on the table to give himself courage and said, “Then why did you kill Zhuang Meng?”
“She’ll take revenge on her!” Dong Chang slammed the table excitedly. The gentleness in his eyes turned into hatred. “That woman was publicly humiliated. She might use the same method to take revenge on my Wan Wan in the future. I can’t let anyone hurt my Wan Wan. I have to protect her!”
“Wake up! Zhao Wan died 13 years ago!” Zou Sheng woke him up sternly.
The man in front of him could no longer distinguish between fantasy and reality. The entire interrogation process was torture for Zou Sheng. He needed to remind Dong Chang of this fact from time to time, or he would sink into his fantasies.
Zou Sheng even felt that if he continued talking to Dong Chang, he would become a lunatic who had lost touch of reality!
Dong Chang seemed to come to his senses, but the hatred in his eyes deepened. “Yes, Wan Wan is dead. She was killed by that bastard! It’s all his fault!”
Zou Sheng sighed. He did not want to continue arguing with this lunatic. He decided to use some special methods to make Dong Chang confess.
He casually picked up a photo of Wan Wan when she was alive and flipped it over for Dong Chang to see. “Tell me everything about the entire case, including all the details. Tell me everything clearly, and I’ll give you this photo as a gift.”
“Wan Wan! My Wan Wan!” As expected, when Dong Chang saw Wan Wan’s photo, he was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He nodded obediently and said, “Alright, I’ll tell you everything. I’ll confess. Give me the photo first.”
Zou Sheng handed the photo over hesitantly. Seeing his infatuated expression, he could not help but remind him, “You can tell me now.”
Dong Chang turned a deaf ear and stared at the young girl in the photo. When he saw the outline of the trees in the background, his thoughts seemed to be pulled back to that night, more than ten years ago.
“Uncle, Auntie, I have to go home. If I’m late, my mother will be angry.” Zhao Wan obediently put away her things and stood at the door. Her bright eyes finally rested on Dong Chang.
Mother Dong smiled and helped her zip up her coat. She said with concern, “Why don’t you let Dong Chang walk you back? It’s so late. It’s not safe for a young lady like you to walk alone at night.”
“It’s okay, I’m very brave.” Zhao Wan patted her chest and waved at them confidently. “Goodbye, Uncle and Auntie.”
Dong Chang subconsciously took two steps forward. Under his mother’s encouraging gaze, he finally mustered his courage, picked up his coat, and strode out.
“Wan Wan, wait for me. Let me send you back!” Dong Chang ran to her side. The dim yellow street lamp made his gentle eyes look even gentler.
Zhao Wan stopped in his tracks timidly. She lowered her head as the tree branches swayed overhead, “We musn’t let my mother know that we’re dating. Otherwise, my mother will beat me to death!”
