Chapter 172 The Truth Under the Darkness(1/2)

One day later...

For the first time, Zhang Feng got a short vacation from the script.

After the matter of Rootless Ghost settled, the content of the script became free action.

He had a short rest.

You can lie on a luxurious bed, eat luxurious food, and even stroll along the busy streets and feel how wonderful the car exhaust is.

He is on vacation, but the village chief is still busy, sorting out the affairs of Lingbing Village.

For example, help the remaining subordinates of Wugengui find a job, or resolve minor disputes and incidents in the village.

After returning the red book to the slow-talking old man in the library, Zhang Feng went to find the village chief.

Maybe it's because Zhang Feng is too shy.

He was forcibly recruited as a coolie by the village chief and asked to deliver Tongtong who was about to go to the orphanage.

It is said that Tongtong's mother also died unexpectedly.

As a little boy who is not yet able to live independently, although Tongtong has a wealth that can be envied by others, he still has to live in an orphanage for a few years.

No, on the bustling street, under the village chief's office building, the cute Tongtongzi was sitting on a tricycle with excitement on her face, slapping the iron carriage with her hands.

Zhang Feng lit a cigarette for himself.

While puffing on the clouds, he walked towards Tongtong's side.

"Hey, I can't tell. You're quite excited. Just don't be unhappy. You're in a new place... You have to live a good life." Zhang Feng comforted him.

"Thank you, uncle, for not forgetting to mention my sadness at this time." Tongtong sat in the car, unable to see any sadness. He raised his head and looked at Zhang Feng, with strong curiosity in his eyes.

But also, for him, this is just a script.

It’s not like a relative is really dead.

"Hey, uncle, will you come to the orphanage to visit me in the future?"

"Well, if I can be free, by the way, when you get to the orphanage, don't sneak out to swim in the middle of the night."

"How could it be? I have always gone to bed before twelve o'clock since I was a child." Tongtong said casually.

He looked around, curious about everything in front of him.

But what he didn't know was that Zhang Feng was stunned by his casual words.

He suddenly realized...he had thought this case was too simple.

According to his previous inference.

Jacks copied Rose's ability and became the village chief. After killing her, he framed the blame on the village chief.

Finally, he left the hotel as Song Yi, and then found a way to dump the body.

However, Ariel saw Song Yi after midnight.

According to Tongtong, he saw the body dumping process before early in the morning...

There was a mistake in time.

In other words, the person pretending to be Song Yi is not there to kill people.

The first scene of the murder was not a hotel at all, it was just a cover-up disguised by others.

Zhang Feng had previously thought about how the murderer transported the body out after killing someone in the hotel.

But now it seems that there is no need to transport the body at all...

"Rumble..."

At some point, the tricycle made a huge roar and drove away.

It drove into the distance along the road and gradually disappeared from Zhang Feng's sight.

It started to rain lightly in the sky - it was sun rain... The pattering raindrops hit Zhang Feng's vicissitudes of life, revealing a trace of his decadence.

Zhang Feng took a puff of cigarette and spit out the smoke.

The rain penetrated the smoke and fell to the ground, turning into rain stains that lived on the ground, like black paint splashed on the road.

"brush--!"

The person across the street held up an umbrella - it was Zi Qi.

She was wearing a blue and white jacket and a pair of jeans that were long enough to cover her feet.

She held an umbrella in her right hand and carried a small satchel in her left hand.

When seeing Zhang Feng, Zi Qi smiled and nodded.

Seeing this, Zhang Feng waited until there were no cars on the road, then walked to her side in the rain.

"Do you mind if I take shelter from the rain?" Zhang Feng said.

"Of course...it's my pleasure."

Zhang Feng walked unceremoniously under her umbrella and subconsciously focused his eyes on her neck.

"Why don't you remove the thread around your neck? It affects your appearance."

Zhang Feng raised his hand and pointed at the thread still connected to Zi Qi's neck...it stayed there quietly, as if embedded in the flesh.

"It's hard to get this thing by yourself. Do you need my help?"

As soon as Zhang Feng raised his hand, Zi Qi immediately put the bag on his shoulder, and then naturally held down Zhang Feng's hand.

"You can't touch girls. I have to do this kind of thing."

She politely refused Zhang Feng.

Then, her expression darkened and changed into another look.

"Actually...I came here to confess something to you..."

"Huh? Confess?" Zhang Feng asked doubtfully.

"Yes, frankly, well, where should I start? Not long ago, Rose, Hongdou and I, we came up with a plan to leave the club forever."

"But later, Rose decided to gain some bargaining chips, so when she was picking up guests, she secretly took a photo of herself picking up the guests."

Zi Qi raised her head again, and the raindrops continued to hit the umbrella, making a "pah pah pah" sound.

She seemed to be disturbed by the sound... so she put away her umbrella and let the raindrops hit her body.

"From the moment she stole the photos, we had evidence against the club. We all knew that if the rootless ghost found out, we would be dead."

"Something... we don't have a choice."

No choice? What did she do...

Doubts arose in Zhang Feng's mind...

So, he asked: "What did you do?"

"I, I thought that as long as I explained the matter clearly to Jacks, he would let the Rootless Ghost let us go, and we would just pretend that nothing happened. Maybe in a few years... we would make new plans."

"So...so I told him everything and asked him to have mercy and spare us."

"So you betrayed them?" Zhang Feng's eyes widened in disbelief.

"I...yes...I thought I could save them! But, Jacks told me that he could protect me, but they were helpless...He said,

Someone has to take the blame for everything, it's either me or them."

Zi Qi turned her head away, her eyes full of loneliness.

She seemed ashamed of what she had done.

"There's more, let's talk about it." Zhang Feng dug into the question... Anyway, the script is over. The more he knows, the higher his level will be at the end of the settlement.

Why not.

Although she looked very sad, under Zhang Feng's questioning, she hesitated for a few seconds and continued:

"But, while we were talking, Anko came in, and...Jax killed her."

"When I saw that scene... I felt that if I didn't do something, I would be the next one to die, so I did the only thing I could do, I wanted revenge,

So I put Anko’s head...at your door."

"Hiss..." Zhang Feng sucked in a breath of cold air while smoking.

It turns out that everything was caused by her.

"You are the beginning of everything."

"I, I just pointed out the direction for you. You know, we are very small, very small, so small... It's like we have never existed."

"No one would care if we disappeared from the world."

"I, I want to thank you because you caught Wugengui and everyone saw his true face."

Having said this, Zi Qi reopened the umbrella. She gently put the umbrella on her shoulders like a little girl, faced Zhang Feng, and walked backwards towards the corner of the intersection.
