Chapter 315: Chapter 55_6
Immediately, Zhu Changyong dashed into the house, and quickly came out holding the cauldron.
He lifted the cauldron and slammed it fiercely against the sharp corner of the concrete fence at the edge of the dam.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
After repeated forceful impacts, the cauldron cracked open.
A turtle as big as a sea bowl flew out, sticking directly onto Zhu Changyong’s chest.
His clothes were torn instantly, revealing a concave chest.
Zhu Changyong tried several times to pull it off, but to no avail; the turtle seemed to know the dire consequences if it got detached, clinging onto him like a suction cup.
"Ah!!!!!"
Zhu Changyong spread his arms, raised his head, and let out a roar like a wild wolf, his flesh starting to crack.
But then he lowered his head and jumped down from the dam, resuming his run.
He retraced the exact same route as before.
When passing the previous location, he still turned his head and glanced at the boy.
"Brother Run Sheng, catch up!"
"Okay!"
Run Sheng bent down, and Li Zhiyuan jumped on.
Run Sheng also started running.
Despite Run Sheng running very fast, the pounding of his shoulder blades caused Li Zhiyuan great pain, yet they still couldn’t catch up with Zhu Changyong, who was gradually pulling away.
Because Zhu Changyong’s running posture was no longer human.
No normal human could move and twist their joints like that.
At that moment, Li Zhiyuan heard the sound of a motorcycle starting and turned his head to see Tan Yunlong.
Though enough preliminary investigation was done, the development of events was still incredible.
This reminded Li Zhiyuan of what Tan Yunlong said to him yesterday: "The case will encounter bizarre twists. What brings the strangeness isn’t the case itself, but the people involved."
Yet in the end, it returned to the predetermined "right track."
Tan Yunlong finally encountered the Zhu Changyong he was looking for.
However, Zhu Changyong wasn’t running on the road; he took a peculiar route, entering the woods, heading toward the riverbank, Li Zhiyuan noticed from a distance.
Tan Yunlong’s motorcycle soon became inoperable, and he had to leave it aside and start running.
But Zhu Changyong’s speed did not decrease in the woods; instead, it increased. When Li Zhiyuan, Run Sheng, and Tan Yunlong emerged from the woods, they saw him at the sand gathering field by the river.
Environmental protection was not yet a major concern at the time; the sand mines were buzzing even at night, the machines still running.
Zhu Changyong stood at the machine’s gate, turned around, and looked at the three men chasing him.
It seemed he didn’t plan to continue running; he was intentionally waiting here.
At that moment, the turtle, which had refused to leave his chest, now wanted to escape in fear, but Zhu Changyong forcibly held it against him with his arms wrapped around himself.
"I must... I must..."
He struggled to speak, his voice as hoarse as a night-time wail.
His single eye stared at Li Zhiyuan, continuing to forcefully shout and express.
Originally, Li Zhiyuan thought the other party wanted to warn them, advising to definitely not go to that part of the seabed.
However, what Zhu Changyong shouted was:
"You must... you must go there... get it!"
Having said that, he jumped into the machine’s gate below.
Instantly, chunks of flesh and juice splattered out.
Even Tan Yunlong, with his extensive case-handling experience, was shocked by this scene. His instinct told him that the other party came here specifically to die in this way!
He had pursued criminals countless times, but this was the first time he had seen such a situation.
Two workers from the sand mine also came over upon hearing the noise, and Tan Yunlong immediately ordered them to turn off the machines.
The machine stopped, but the person was already everywhere.
Li Zhiyuan and Run Sheng returned to Zheng Haiyang’s home, arriving at the dam.
Tan Wenbin was kneeling there, staring at Zheng Haiyang’s corpse with a wooden expression.
Hearing the footsteps, Tan Wenbin looked back, then pointed his finger toward the three corpses lying on the ground in front:
"Brother Xiao Yuan, he’s dead."
He had eaten boiled shrimps but had never truly seen them peeled.
He had seen corpses before and witnessed them in the river, but he had never experienced the bloody scene unfold right in front of him, especially this time, it was his dear buddy.
"Binbin, this is the other side of the world you wanted to see, it’s not as fun and playful as you imagined."
"Um..."
"It’s still not too late for you to back out now."
Tan Wenbin stayed silent.
"Brother Run Sheng, go get our stuff and collect all the talisman papers."
Tan Yunlong then approached, looking at his son kneeling on the ground with a pained expression in his eyes. However, he resisted the urge to comfort his son and turned to Li Zhiyuan:
"Xiao Yuan, tell me, what exactly happened?"
"Uncle Tan, if I don’t say it, how would you report it?"
"I can only report what I saw, which is that Zhu Changyong committed murder, fled, and then committed suicide."
"Let’s report it like that, Uncle Tan. But, don’t mention us."
"But that’s not the truth, is it?"
"Uncle Tan, once you report it, another group of people will come to you to inquire about the facts; then, you can tell them your speculation."
Tan Yunlong immediately thought of Yu Shu, who had appeared recently; last time, he was also accompanied by his team to several places, clearly not there to inspect criminal investigation-related matters.
"Will there be, Xiao Yuan?"
"There will be, as long as you, Uncle Tan, report Zhu Changyong’s name and also tell them the words he shouted before he died; except for us three, Uncle Tan, you don’t need to hide anything."
"I understand."
Tan Yunlong understood that sometimes, knowing the truth in advance is actually inconvenient for answering investigative questions.
This child wasn’t trying to hide it from him, but rather considering for him.
Li Zhiyuan walked behind Tan Wenbin and patted his back:
"Binbin, we’re going home first."
Run Sheng had already placed the items in the tricycle and was waiting; Li Zhiyuan boarded the tricycle.
The tricycle had just driven a short distance when it stopped.
Because someone had grabbed the vehicle from behind.
Li Zhiyuan turned around, saw Tan Wenbin catching up, with determination in his eyes, seemingly having made some resolution; he knew that the thing that truly killed Zheng Haiyang came from that part of the seabed.
For the first time, Tan Wenbin seriously mentioned the nickname that Li Sanjiang had given him without a playful smile:
"Why didn’t you wait for me, Zhuangzhuang also wants to go home."
