Seeking death's intention (Thanks to HGT for the diamond gift)

  It was unexpected that he would be so easy to talk to. The person who had just brushed past me suddenly took a step back, standing shoulder to shoulder with me, and gazed at me intently: "In your heart, am I a difficult person to talk to?" I pursed my lips: "No." Seeing his eyebrows slightly raised, I added: "You're just an elusive and unpredictable person."

  The air pressure dropped, and the gaze that came with it was also chilling. I walked past him without looking up, my heart inevitably nervous: wouldn't he get angry and regret it because of this? A soft hum came from behind, a cool voice: "Xia Zhu, your IQ hasn't improved, but your courage is getting bigger and bigger." A black line suddenly appeared on my forehead.

  No matter what, the big Buddha was finally brought to the police station. This interrogation was a case summary by the police and not a court procedure. Due to the complexity of the judicial structure, it usually takes at least one month for a case to go from entering the program to being interrogated. Needless to say, Gao Cheng was treated as an honored guest from the moment he entered the police station, with the director personally greeting him.

  The room for the hearing was very large, with a row of iron bars separating the house. After we entered and sat down, the director asked Gao Cheng: "Can we start?" Gao Cheng raised his eyelids and nodded slightly.

  Then, behind the iron railing, the prisoner was led out by the police, and on this side, Zhang Ji was interrogating, while Xu Jianglun was taking notes.

  Still the same three people as before, but their identities have changed from witnesses to criminal suspects.

  Ma Tao was sentenced for fraud; Qin Yali was sentenced for extortion. Then, Du Xiangyuan, he was the third defendant to be brought in for trial. His hair had been shaved off, and behind the iron bars, his expression remained calm.

  I couldn't tear my gaze away from him, listening to his plain and direct words, thinking of the pain in his eyes that night, his face twisted with excitement. This man was suffering, and after he took that path due to a moment's hesitation, suffering and regret had always surrounded him.

  By the time he got here, the trial had dragged on for a long time, and Zhang Ji's questioning was especially meticulous. I couldn't help but whisper to Gao Cheng beside me, "What crime will someone like him be convicted of?" Gao Cheng glanced at me lightly, his tone cool, "You're meddling in things that are none of your business."

  He didn't bother to respond to her complaints and instead guessed: "It shouldn't be too heavy, right?"

  "Xia Zhu, believe it or not, I'll throw you out right away?"

  The room fell silent in an instant, and everyone's eyes turned to me. The detestable Gao Cheng spoke without controlling his volume, his clear voice loud enough for everyone present to hear. Not only the surrounding detectives, but also Zhang Ji and Xu Jianglun, who were taking notes during the interrogation, turned their heads back, while Du Xiangyuan, who had been quietly narrating behind the iron bars, stopped at this moment and cast his gaze towards me.

  My heart skipped a beat and I stood up subconsciously.

  At this time, I didn't have the heart to care about being the center of attention, my eyes only saw the message revealed in his calm eyes - death. But as if it were just my illusion, in the blink of an eye, Du Xiangyuan was just quietly looking at me, without a ripple or a thread. Under everyone's astonished gaze, I abruptly asked: "Can I talk to him alone?"

  Space is suffocating!

  One second, two seconds, three seconds, "No way!" Zhang Ji's firm voice refused. But unexpectedly, Gao Cheng chuckled and asked: "What if I'm the one who asks?" This time Zhang Ji shut his mouth, and no one else raised any objections. As the detectives filed out, I turned my head to glance at Gao Cheng, who sneered coldly: "Don't even think about it, if I weren't in charge here, you wouldn't have had a chance."

  It's just that, after all, he could only think of that, and turned his gaze to Du Xiangyuan. When he spoke, he felt a slight awkwardness: "Why do you have the idea of seeking death?"

  He suddenly looked over with a startled expression, his eyes bewildered and uncertain, yet even more confirming that I wasn't mistaken just now.
