PNB Chapter 364 The Last Day
Chapter 364 The Last Day
"No, that's impossible. That's absolutely impossible."
Fang Xiang stared at Lin Feng intently, his gaze as sharp as a torch, and spoke word by word, as if his eyes could see through him. "From what I know about you, you would never do anything meaningless. The reason you came here must be because you discovered something."
Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat, and an inappropriate thought flashed through his mind. He almost blurted out a line: "It's true that only my parents gave me life, and only those who know me know me."
However, after being immersed in it for a while, he did not say this sentence after all.
After all, saying it at this time would inevitably seem too deliberate, and might even arouse Fang Xiang's deeper suspicion.
However, before Lin Feng could open his mouth, Vincent frowned and asked seriously, "Mr. Fang, you said these people died more than ten years ago. Can you give a more specific number?"
Fang Xiang was stunned and pondered for a moment. Then he frowned and said with a hint of uncertainty in his tone, "It should be around fifteen or sixteen years."
While speaking, he had been staring closely at Vincent. Seeing Vincent's face suddenly change drastically, he subconsciously moved closer to Vincent and asked with a hint of concern and some emotion: "What's wrong? Did you find something?"
"Lin Feng and I have previously found out that Dean Hong and Bachelor Tian Xiaowei served as household registration officers here seventeen years ago. The records show that not long after they arrived and registered the number of people here, the people disappeared."
At this point, Vincent glanced at Lin Feng, as if seeking some kind of approval, and continued, "Is there a possibility that Huang Xu and Tian Xiaowei were involved in the extermination of the Monba people? Otherwise, I'm afraid they wouldn't have died under the curse of the Monba blood altar."
These words were like a thunderclap, hitting Fang Xiang's ears heavily.
Fang Xiang's face turned pale as paper in an instant. He stared at Lin Feng blankly for a long time before slowly giving him a thumbs-up. His gesture was filled with mixed emotions, including surprise and a hint of admiration.
The netizens in the entire live broadcast room immediately exploded and started cursing angrily:
"Fuck, isn't Lin Feng too despicable? He deliberately said this in front of Fang Xiang, isn't it just to divert Fang Xiang's hatred?"
"That's right. Everyone knows that Fang Xiang is the most humane person in the investigation team, otherwise he wouldn't have asked that soul-searching question before. Lin Feng did this on purpose just to make Fang Xiang let him go."
"Yes. Compared to Huang Xu, Tian Xiaowei and others, Lin Feng is indeed much kinder."
"You can't say that. Killing a hundred people is killing, but killing one person is not killing?"
"You're not right. If I don't avenge my father's murder and my wife's theft in this lifetime, how can I even have the dignity to live in this world? Anyway, I'm on Lin Feng's side this time."
"Then what do you think Guo Lin's son will think? Fortunately, in the setting of our show, Guo Lin doesn't have a son. If he did, would it be natural for him to kill Lin Feng?"
"I can't explain this clearly. Let's wait until the show is over and then ask that Supreme Court professor. I believe he can give us a reasonable answer."
This comment seemed to express the thoughts of many people. Soon, the originally noisy live broadcast room gradually quieted down. Everyone was looking forward to the subsequent development of the program and also hoped for a reasonable answer.
Lin Feng and others spent a considerable amount of money to have the villagers who helped them bury the remains properly.
Afterwards, Lin Feng patted Fang Xiang on the shoulder, and the group slowly walked down the mountain.
However, it seemed that because the previous discovery was too dark and heavy, the faces of several people were all a little gloomy and ugly, and they didn't even say a few words along the way.
Just like that, ever since returning from Baizhen Mountain, the entire program seems to have been played at double speed.
The days passed uneventfully, each day proceeding according to the routine without any major incidents.
It's worth mentioning that no murders have occurred since that day. Furthermore, Fang Xiang never went to Lin Feng to investigate anything. Everyone seemed to have forgotten the true purpose of this episode, and were simply following through on a well-written sitcom.
After the program was broadcast, enthusiastic netizens often visited various live broadcast rooms to follow the program's developments.
But as time went on, everyone's enthusiasm gradually wore out and became somewhat numb.
The only one who was different was Hu Mingyue - her actions were very regular every day. She went out to set up a stall during the day, and went to the academy to see some calligraphy before closing the stall and going home. After returning home and having dinner, she would carefully copy them by herself.
At first, people thought she was up to some bad idea, so they stared at her live broadcast room, wanting to see what she would do.
But for several days, she didn't cause any trouble, and everyone gradually dispelled their suspicions about her. Slowly, Hu Mingyue's live broadcast room became the most deserted one in this episode, and her behavior seemed to have no effect on the progress of this episode.
In the blink of an eye, time has come to the last day of this episode of "Law Network: The End of Crime".
Early in the morning, everyone was taken to the military camp by Hong Xiuming.
These included Zhang Tianshun, Vincent, Fang Xiang, Lin Feng and other students from Datong Academy.
As soon as everyone stood still, two sharp swords were placed across their shoulders. The cold light flashed, making people tremble with fear.
Lin Feng's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously looked at Hong Xiuming, who was not far away. He bowed respectfully, and said in a polite but doubtful tone, "General Hong, what do you mean?"
"What else could it mean? Didn't I tell you long ago? If you still can't figure out who killed my general, I'll round up all the suspects."
Hong Xiuming said this, his eyes revealing a fierceness. He glanced around and a playful smile appeared on his face, as if he was looking at a group of lambs to be slaughtered. "Do you know who among you is a suspect?"
Everyone was stunned, their faces filled with shock and confusion, and they shook their heads subconsciously.
Then, they began to look at each other, their eyes filled with confusion and anxiety, trying to find the answer from each other's faces.
Hong Xiuming suddenly burst into laughter, the sound echoing through the empty military camp, making everyone's hair stand on end. "No need to look any further, all of you are suspects. I'll count to three. If you still can't tell me who the real murderer is by the time I count the last one, don't blame me for going on a killing spree."
As he finished speaking, the soldiers in the barracks all drew their swords as if they had received some kind of instruction.
They swung their long swords vigorously, the blades cutting through the air with a whirring sound, and shouted loudly: "Kill - kill - kill -"
The uniform shouts, like a surging tide, one wave after another, impacted everyone's nerves, and the entire military camp was instantly shrouded in a solemn and murderous atmosphere.
However, at this moment, Lin Feng suddenly took a step forward and said loudly: "No need to count, because I have already found out who the real culprit behind the scenes is."
However, before he could finish his words, Vincent rushed to his side and stretched out his hand to cover his mouth.
However, he was still a step slow after all.
When the two soldiers who were guarding him rushed over and wanted to attack him, Lin Feng said coldly: "What, General Hong, don't you want to know the truth? Or do you prefer to let General Hong die an unjust death?"
Hong Xiuming smiled and waved his hand, signaling the two soldiers to leave. Then, he sneered and said, "Okay, but you better be careful with your words. If your answer cannot satisfy me, hehe——"
