Midnight Bookstore Chapter 94 – Buried Together?

Outside the house, Zhou Ze was smoking while Tang Shi was chewing on her milk candy.

Inside the room, the dead bodies on the wall were hanging down, and the scary expression on their faces was clear as day. It was like a murder had just happened.

All dead.

None were left.

Xu Le died.

The person who killed Xu Le was dead.

The driver was dead.

My cousin is dead.

All the dots on the line were dead.

Even Zhou Ze was dead.

Just as Tang Shi had said, if you did not purposely avoid trouble, trouble would not come looking for you.

It was a pocket that had been opened for a long time. Regardless of whether you were willing or not, whether you were happy or not, you were actually in this pocket.

“They're all dead, so the clue should be gone.”

Tang Shi looked at Zhou Ze with a smile on her lips. She seemed to like seeing Zhou Ze in this state.

The wolves in the pack were all filled with grievances and had gloomy faces all day long. In the end, a husky appeared and only wanted to lie there cutely.

It was really an unpleasant matter.

Why are we all so heavy-hearted?

Are you the only one who is innocent and pure?

This is not just about money distribution.

“So far, that's true.”

Zhou Ze rubbed his forehead.

“Furthermore, I need to worry about one thing, and that is whether the police will investigate me.”

The mastermind was Xu Le.

The driver was dead, and so was his cousin.

This was also the reason why Zhou Ze had held back from taking revenge. He did not want to expose himself because it would ruin his current life.

There were too many differences between modern society and ancient times. Even in ancient times, there was a household registration system, but it was not difficult for a person with no ident.i.ty to hide in seclusion.

In modern society, a person's ident.i.ty and information label were very important. Of course, Zhou Ze could hide it if he wanted to, but the price he had to pay was the rapid decline in quality of life. He had to hide all day.

Right now, Zhou Ze was not the one who killed them, but he naturally had to bear the consequences of their deaths.

He did not enjoy the pleasure of revenge.

He had to take the blame.

So angry!

Taking out his phone, Zhou Ze called the police station.

“Hey, I want to call the police.”

Tang Shi did not accompany Zhou Ze to the police station. Instead, she returned to the bookstore first. It was already the best she could do to accompany Zhou Ze to the murder scene on a rainy day, wearing a raincoat and stepping on the muddy road. She could no longer accompany Zhou Ze to face the complicated statements and investigations at the police station.

As for Zhou Ze, he had no choice. He had to do this. After all, he was the one who had called the police station to ask about the victim's home. If he did not call the police now, he would be even more suspicious when the body was found.

Zhou Ze was unwilling to dispose of the body in secret. Before he knew who was behind all this, Zhou Ze did not want to be smart and help others clean up the mess.

Perhaps he had accidentally dug a hole and buried himself.

The investigation and questioning continued until past eight at night. After a few waves of police officers, it was clear that they treated Zhou Ze as the murderer.

Don't think that the murderer wouldn't take the initiative to call the police.

In fact,

According to the police data, more than 80% of the murderers would pretend to be “spectators” and return to the crime scene.

Most of the murderers wanted to disguise themselves and check the information, but a small portion of them wanted to appreciate my work after killing someone.

If the victim was still undiscovered, it would be like casting a pearl in the dark for the murderer. The Mona Lisa's smile was covered by a black cloth that tickled the heart, so he decided to call the police himself so that the cover would be lifted.

In the end, an old policeman with half white hair sat in front of Zhou Ze. He closed the notebook and said to Zhou Ze,

“Mr. Xu, you can leave now, but please don't leave Tong City for the next month. We might need to ask you for more information.”

“Okay.”

Zhou Ze got up, left the interrogation room, and walked to the entrance of the police station.

Turning back to look at the police officers and the row of police cars parked inside, he felt a strange pressure.

Perhaps it would not be long before the truth of the car accident surfaced. At that time, he would be facing a real storm.

The victim was actually himself, but the real culprit was…

It was also him.

Zhou Ze prepared to return to the bookstore. He was a little tired and wanted to rest first. However, his phone rang at this moment. It was his sister-in-law's call.

“Hey, Xu Le, your uncle is here again. He's sitting at the staircase. I called him in, but he didn't want to. He said that he would wait for you.”

Uncle?

“Just say that I won't be coming back, and don't tell him the address of my new store.” Zhou Ze did not want to deal with irrelevant people at this time.

Clang!

The sound of a door slamming came from the other end.

Zhou Ze frowned and asked, “What's wrong?”

“Er, your uncle is knocking on the door. He said that if you don't come back today, you'll have to go to jail.”

Hearing this,

Zhou Ze looked up and gritted his teeth. “Tell him that I'll be right back.”

No one wanted to live like a punching bag. No one wanted their life to be impeded. Everyone wanted to be casual, but that was life.

When you are a few months old, you can go around peeing and peeing. Your elders and relatives will greet you with smiles and play with your p.e.n.i.s.

However, when you were in your teens or twenties, it would be impossible for you to pee or get your p.e.n.i.s flicked again.

It was hard to imagine a forty-five-year-old senior playing a twenty-something-year-old youth's p.e.n.i.s.

You peed again. So naughty.

This scene was too glaring.

Because of this, when Zhou Ze appeared before Xu Dachuan,

Xu Dachuan's face was gloomy.

Zhou Ze looked gloomy as well.

Everyone was unhappy.

Everyone was unhappy.

But they still had to meet.

Xu Dachuan did not harm the people in the room. When Zhou Ze arrived, he was squatting there smoking a cigarette. When he saw Zhou Ze approaching, he stood up and patted his pants.

“Take a walk with me.”

This time, Xu Dachuan did not bring any local specialty products and came empty-handed.

Zhou Ze and Xu Dachuan walked out together. He did not greet his sister-in-law and Doctor Lin through the door.

The two of them walked out of the district.

The sky was completely dark.

Under the streetlights, there were not many people.

After walking for a while, Xu Dachuan squatted down again and started smoking.

Zhou Ze stood beside him.

“The boat has been burnt,” Xu Dachuan said.

Little Boat was probably his cousin's nickname.

“Yeah,” Zhou Ze replied. “I wasn't in Tong City then.”

“I'm fine.”

Xu Dachuan knocked on the tobacco pipe and raised his head. His face was filled with vicissitudes and crevices. He was an honest old man who worked hard to maintain his family. Xu Le, the university student, was also a product of his labor.

“Ah Le, on the day of the funeral, you didn't come. That's really not right.”

The corners of Xu Dachuan's eyes were wet. He squatted there and used the dry back of his hand to wipe the tears from his eyes.

“I told you, I was not in Tong City.”

Xu Dachuan suddenly stood up and grabbed Zhou Ze's collar with one hand. He pushed Zhou Ze out and pushed him against the telephone pole.

“Ah Le, tell Uncle the truth. Did you kill Little Boat?”

Zhou Ze narrowed his eyes. There was a lot of information in Xu Dachuan's question.

Previously, Zhou Ze had a good impression of Xu Dachuan.

Whether it was right or wrong, it had nothing to do with him. Moreover, Xu Dachuan was the first stranger who truly cared about him since he was reborn.

He could tolerate the Lin family rolling their eyes at him with local specialties.

Even though she was lying on the hospital bed, she would still smile happily at her niece-in-law, Doctor Lin.

He even said that if he could not become a son-in-law, he could just go back and farm with him.

In Zhou Ze's eyes, he should have been simple, kind, and pure.

However, it seemed like this pure land was not as pure as he had imagined.

“It wasn't me.”

Zhou Ze reached out and grabbed Xu Dachuan's wrist.

“Don't think that I don't know about Little Bozi and you. I also know that Little Bozi has been coming to you frequently to ask for money recently. He's insensible, he's disappointing, and he has made countless mistakes.

But he is still your brother! ”

Xu Dachuan's eyes started to turn bloodshot, and he looked like he was going crazy.

“I don't know what you're talking about.”

Zhou Ze suddenly hated the man in front of him.

This honest man.

“What am I talking about?”

Xu Dachuan put his face in front of Zhou Ze and said word by word,

“That driver, is he dead? He's from the village next door. Do you think Little Boat knows anyone who has a good mouth?

He was just a few strands of hair, what right did he have to talk to others?

I was the one who went to talk to the driver.

Uncle wants you to live a good life. Your mother-in-law has fallen in love with someone else. If you live a miserable life, Uncle will help you kill that mistress!

Eldest Uncle wanted all the children in our family to live comfortably without being bullied or looked down upon.

But…

Ah Le,

You can't kill Little Boat to silence him.

Your father died early. It was Uncle who supported you to study. Uncle has always treated you as his own child!

Tell Uncle the truth.

Little Boat, did you ask someone to deliberately kill him like last time?

Are you trying to silence me? ”

Zhou Ze took a deep breath.

Xu Dachuan had asked the wrong person.

In fact,

His every question added fuel to the fire.

In front of him…

Not his nephew, Xu Le.

It was the victim of that incident!

Bang!

Zhou Ze kicked Xu Dachuan to the ground.

At that moment, Zhou Ze had the urge to self-destruct.

He was filled with regret. If he had known this would happen, he would have surrendered himself to the police.

Xu Le's cousin.

Xu Dachuan.

The driver…

Let's all accept the punishment from the law together. Even if he was implicated as Xu Le, it didn't matter.

Using this second life that he had earned to take revenge for his first life, it seemed like it was also a way to settle grudges quickly.

At least,

It was much better than the current dilemma.

But now…

His cousin and the driver were both dead, and the person who killed Xu Le was also dead. They died cleanly, and Zhou Ze's revenge could not be discussed.

' You're strong, you're strong,' he said. 'But it's always sullen to punch cotton. '

Xu Dachuan got up from the ground and shouted at Zhou Ze.

“Ah Le, it was you who turned your back on me.

I want to report to the Public Security Bureau.

You are a murderer.

Murderer!

“I want you to be buried with this little boat!”

Zhou Ze looked at Xu Dachuan.

He looked at the honest-looking old man who looked like he had been through many hardships.

With his left hand behind his back,

Black nails slowly grew out.

Zhou Ze smirked.

He seemed to be savoring the word:

“Buried together?”
