Chapter 68 After wearing the mask for so long, he really thought it was his face
"Su He, what I said just now about going to see Cai Fengwen is different from what you said about going to the Academy of Fine Arts?"
"Of course there is a difference. If Cai Fengwen has a problem, he won't tell the truth, and we don't have any evidence... Although it has been ten years, there are still many old employees in the college..."
Su He followed Officer Hou directly to the department in charge of work-study programs and obtained the information of Wang Bin's class.
Fine arts is a very expensive major. When Wang Bin was in high school, his father was diagnosed with cancer and eventually died. Not only did he spend all his savings, he also left himself with a lot of debt. His mother couldn't stand it anymore and chose to commit suicide.
It is very strange that a high school student with no financial resources chooses to major in fine arts in college.
Wang Bin’s name is not on the list .
Where does Wang Bin’s tuition and expenses come from?
Since Wang Bin was rich, why couldn’t he even afford the medical expenses after injuring his classmates?
With these two questions, Su He and Officer Hou went to see Wang Bin's counselor, Liu Mei.
"Officer, our college launched a poverty relief activity that year. Each teacher and leader, on a voluntary basis, chose to support a needy student. Wang Bin's talent for painting was evident in high school, but due to family reasons he could not continue to attend university, so he was included in the list of needy students."
Liu Mei searched in the cabinet for a long time before she took out a list and handed it to Officer Hou, saying, "Here, this is the list of that class. The students are in the front and the teachers who helped are in the back."
Officer Hou found Wang Bin’s column and looked back, and it clearly said: Cai Fengwen.
It's him again!
Cai Fengwen sponsored Wang Bin to go to college. Later, Cai Fengwen's wife Zhuang Rou was murdered. On the night of the murder, Wang Bin fell ill and was subsequently expelled from the college for injuring a classmate.
The painting that Wang Bin drew was the scene where Zhuang Rou was murdered.
Back in the detention center, Wang Bin was sitting on a chair with a bandage , gesturing on the table with both hands. When he saw Officer Hou coming, he suddenly stopped.
Officer Hou pasted the painting on the glass.
Wang Bin raised his head, his hands unconsciously pulling the table, his eyes gradually became fierce, and he roared loudly: "I don't know anything, don't force me... Why do you all force me..."
"Who forced you? Wang Bin, tell me, who forced you?" Officer Hou looked into Wang Bin's eyes and asked.
"Who forced me? No one forced me... I killed the person... Officer, can you please shoot me... I am in so much pain... Please..."
A painful expression appeared on Wang Bin's face, and he looked at Officer Hou pleadingly. Officer Hou took out Cai Fengwen's photo and pasted it on the glass.
"Do you know him?"
Suddenly, Wang Bin raised his hands to cover his head and said in panic: "Don't hit me... Don't hit me, I don't know anything... I don't know anything..."
"Cai Fengwen hit you, right? Why did he hit you? You saw something you shouldn't have seen, and he got angry, right?" Officer Hou continued to ask.
"I don't know anything... I don't know... Don't ask me... Let me die... I will be quiet when I die..."
Suddenly, a hand pressed on the glass. Su He held a photo in his hand and said, "Your counselor was very worried about you... Do you remember? You wanted to commit suicide, and she saved you..."
Wang Bin looked at Liu Mei's photo and gradually calmed down. He looked up at Su He and said, "It has nothing to do with the teacher. I drew the cartoon... Everything is my fault... I plead guilty..."
Su He and Officer Hou looked at each other and smiled.
Officer Hou turned around and said to the police officer behind him, "Go to the Academy of Fine Arts and bring Liu Mei to the police station!"
When Wang Bin heard this, he immediately became crazy and yelled, "It has nothing to do with the teacher... It's my fault, it's my fault!"
"Wang Bin, you have a good teacher...she is the only one who cares about you. Can you bear to let her continue to make mistakes?" Su He continued to ask.
Wang Bin was very excited and wanted to hit the glass, but was stopped by two prison guards. After five minutes, he seemed tired and slumped in a chair, muttering to himself: " Why you all want to force me... The dead can't be resurrected... He already knows he was wrong... He promised me that he would never kill anyone again..."
Officer Hou saw this and asked, "Who is he? Wang Bin... The dead cannot be resurrected, but they cannot die in obscurity... If you have done something wrong, you should stand up bravely... Tell me, what is his name?"
Wang Bin's face showed a struggling look. After a long time, he finally spoke: "Cai Fengwen."
Saying this name seemed to have exhausted all his strength. Wang Bin raised his head, looked at Officer Hou, and said: "That night, it was raining heavily. Director Cai called me to go to the park. I went there and saw a woman lying on the ground. She was covered in blood and screamed for help..."
"Director Cai handed me a knife and asked me to kill the woman. I didn't dare, so he beat me... He asked me to take the knife away and said that if I told anyone about it, he would not give me the money. I was very scared at the time..."
"I ran as fast as I could... That woman was in my mind, everywhere. I opened my eyes, closed my eyes, and it was all her..."
Walking outside and sitting on a stone bench, Officer Hou looked at Su He and asked, "How do you know that it was Liu Mei who spread the comics?"
Su He smiled and replied, "As soon as we entered the Academy of Fine Arts, Liu Mei took out Wang Bin's album, and then the list of Cai Fengwen's sponsors for Wang Bin. These were things from ten years ago. She had already prepared them and was just waiting for us to find her."
"If I'm not mistaken, Wang Bin told Liu Mei about Cai Fengwen's murder. However, Liu Mei knew that Wang Bin would not take the initiative to call the police, let alone give Cai Fengwen away, so she planned this comic book murder!"
"The purpose is to lead all the clues to Cai Fengwen and reveal the truth of the case."
Liu Mei and Cai Fengwen were both taken back to the police station. After hearing that the police had reopened the case of Zhuang Rou's murder, she confessed everything without reservation.
The reason she did this was because in her eyes, it was Cai Fengwen who ruined Wang Bin. Over the years, Cai Fengwen often beat Wang Bin and even forced him to commit suicide.
In Liu Mei's words: "I see Cai Fengwen every day and look at his hypocritical smile. He is a murderer. He has worn the mask for so long that he really thinks it is his face."
Liu Mei has no children, perhaps in her eyes, Wang Bin is her child.
When Liu Mei learned that Wang Bin was willing to stand up and identify Cai Fengwen, she said: "Officer, I tried to punish the devil, but I became the devil myself. This world is so helpless..."
