However, they won't be as invincible as depicted in movies and TV shows. Police officers are human too, and most people are just ordinary. It's impossible to organize experts and specialists for every case, otherwise those experts would be exhausted.
Zhang Lei now just hopes that this place won't attract any top-notch police officers. However, if a massacre were to happen here, it would be impossible to avoid making a big splash.
Perhaps it was too noisy outside, because two little girls wearing underwear and vests came out of the house. Zhang Lei often saw one of them; she was his ugly daughter. He had never seen the other one before. Judging from her appearance, if she was his child, she must have been born from his wife's affair.
...
Episode 3: The Bloody Path to Adulthood, Chapter 31: Leaving Behind an Eyewitness
"Little girl, be good, don't shout, come to uncle!" Zhang Lei gently placed the knife on the table next to him, clapped his hands at the little girl, and opened his arms, as if waiting for her to pounce on him.
Of course, it's the one that aroused Zhang Lei's suspicion. As for the other one, if you let Zhang Lei hug her, Xiao Wuzi's family will probably have a chance of winning this battle.
Party A: Zhang Lei, disguised as a robber who has just been released from prison. Special skills: enhanced internal energy, self-examination, and internal energy explosion.
Party B: Xiao Wuzi's family; Xiao Wuzi—a released criminal, generally strong and powerful;
Xiao Wuzi's wife is seriously injured and temporarily unable to resist, but she cannot arouse the client's desire to rape her.
Little Wu's eldest daughter - her bloodline can be confirmed. She is not seriously injured and has no ability to resist. As above, if she misunderstands and lets the client hug her, it may cause the client to become dizzy. This is a passive aura.
Unidentified little girl – her lineage is highly uncertain, and her attack abilities are not like those of a typical girl;
The old lady who has not yet appeared – has zero combat power, but is suspected of having tuberculosis. The client must proceed with caution to prevent infection, as this is a chronic attack.
As can be seen from the list above, unless Zhang Lei makes some terrible moves, and one after another, Xiao Wuzi's family has no hope of winning.
The current fear is that they might escape through the upstairs door and onto the roof of Zhang Lei's own house. But if even one of them manages to escape, then...
That would be wonderful!
Zhang Lei's biggest wish was to have eyewitnesses. With eyewitnesses, they wouldn't trace it back to him; at most, they would suspect that he was involved, because the eyes don't lie.
While crime scenes can speak, they will never produce images without a DV camera. The so-called retinal remnants have been proven to be nothing more than fiction in novels.
Zhang Lei knew he didn't have many counter-investigation techniques. Even with the utmost care, many traces would inevitably be left at the scene. However, with eyewitnesses, especially a reliable one, their attention could be diverted. But Zhang Lei also knew that the image of the handsome middle-aged man absolutely couldn't be recreated. Beating up two thugs was nothing compared to murdering an entire family.
The little girl wasn't foolish enough to throw herself into Zhang Lei's arms; neither of them did. The two of them slowly backed away, seemingly wanting to return to their own rooms.
"Old woman, stop hiding! Come out here, or I'll kill these two brats!" Zhang Lei didn't really know where the old woman was hiding. He just reasoned that since the old woman was old, it wouldn't be convenient for her to live upstairs. So, if the old woman was home, she should be downstairs. Zhang Lei didn't give them a chance to go upstairs. Upstairs should be where Xiao Wuzi and his wife lived.
Sure enough, as Zhang Lei shouted, Xiao Wuzi's mother moved out of the small room.
"Old woman, keep these two little girls in check and don't let them run around. Otherwise, if I get nervous, I might do something that upsets everyone. I'm here to make money, not to get angry!" Zhang Lei really wanted to show off his knife skills, but unfortunately, he had never practiced before. If he tried to do it now, he might hurt his own foot. So he could only wave the knife around in a very unskilled way, but it seemed that the intimidation effect was quite good.
Watching the old woman obediently hold the two girls in her arms, Zhang Lei suddenly wanted to try and see if he could make her have a heart attack. That would be retribution, wouldn't it? His grandmother was essentially driven to her death by Xiao Wuzi, so Zhang Lei should try to see if he could make his mother have a heart attack too.
"Old woman, is that your granddaughter too? She doesn't look much like your son. Is she your daughter-in-law's child from an affair?" Zhang Lei carefully examined the little girl. She seemed very quiet. He had hardly ever seen her before, but if he had, he would remember her. Ever since he saw this little girl, Zhang Lei's penis had been throbbing.
Little Wu's mother stared at Zhang Lei with hatred in her eyes, her wrinkled old mouth trembling. She was clearly furious. They probably suspected the whole thing too, otherwise it wouldn't have been so effective. But even if he raped the little girl here, it probably wouldn't kill her with anger. Zhang Lei felt he needed to work on this. Wasn't it said that angering someone to death is not a crime? What a great way to kill someone.
"Little girl, what's your name!" Zhang Lei squatted down in front of the little girl, playing with a sharp kitchen knife in his hand. Seeing that the little girl didn't seem inclined to answer, his expression suddenly changed. "What's the use of a tongue if you don't tell me? Cut it off!"
"Ah, no, Mommy, Mommy!" The little girl shook her shoulders, trying to break free from her grandmother's hand, and then rushed past Zhang Lei to her mother, who had just sat up at the foot of the cabinet.
Seeing this, Zhang Lei knew her guess was correct. The paternal grandmother must not have treated the little girl well, otherwise, why would the child seek refuge with her mother when her grandmother was around? However, in the current situation, no matter who she turned to, they could not provide her with any substantial help.
"Her name is Wu Yining!" Seeing that Zhang Lei seemed about to make a move on the little girl, Wu's wife, who was leaning against the cabinet, spoke up. Zhang Lei looked closely and realized that the woman did indeed resemble the little girl in some ways. However, the old woman's skin was already mottled, which greatly reduced her overall appearance. If her skin were properly treated, the blackheads on her nose removed, her eye bags eliminated, her eyebrows trimmed, her yellow teeth cleaned, and so on, this woman would probably be more presentable.
"Hehe, little girl, don't be afraid, uncle is a very nice person, I'll give you a lollipop later!" Zhang Lei raised his head and shouted upstairs, "Xiao Wuzi, have you found the money yet? Don't force me to 'hao' all your relatives downstairs, that wouldn't be fun!" (hao is slang, somewhat like robbery and murder.)
Zhang Lei's hearing had become much more sensitive since the last time he experienced tinnitus. He only called out after hearing Xiao Wuzi open the door upstairs, so that they wouldn't have to open the door again when they tried to escape later.
Xiao Wuzi, haha, Zhang Lei feels like he's in the imperial harem, like he's calling for eunuchs.
Who should run? Zhang Lei's favorite target was Wu Yining. It would be such a pity if such a beautiful little girl died like this. She didn't get to experience the beauty of life or the love of a man before she died. It would be a real disservice to God who pushed her down from the sky without her hitting her face.
Most importantly, she is not Xiao Wuzi's biological daughter. Zhang Lei's main target for revenge is Xiao Wuzi. Although it's not impossible to involve her, she is still within the nine generations of her family. But this is a new society now, and we shouldn't involve such a wide range of people.
However, whether she can actually escape depends on luck. If she escapes last and Zhang Lei lets her go, then his intention to keep her alive would be too obvious, and her testimony would be hard to believe.
It can be said that everyone will encounter some setbacks in life, but not everyone will become like this. Zhang Lei may have had evil genes in his nature, and these things just awakened his true nature.
"Brother, I'm really sorry, this is all the cash I have at home. How about I go with you to withdraw some money from this savings account?" Xiao Wuzi lingered upstairs for a long time before finally wobbling down the stairs.
These stairs are all homemade, usually made of wood. To save space, they are very steep. When Xiao Wuzi came down from them, he had to hold onto the handrail with one hand, otherwise it would be difficult for him to walk steadily.
When he was halfway there, Zhang Lei reached out and snatched the money away. In the rush of exchanging hands, a few bills spilled onto the ground.
"Damn, that's all you have? Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?" Zhang Lei knew this was a cliché, something any robber would say, but that's what made it so representative, isn't it?
"Brother, don't worry, I can go to the bank with you. I'll definitely get all the money for you there!" Zhang Lei was in a good position. It seemed like Xiao Wu could kick him in the head with just a slight movement of his foot. This position was, of course, deliberately left for him by Zhang Lei.
Robbery, robbery, money is the ultimate goal. If the victim is already so cooperative, then killing him would be illogical.
Unfortunately, this little Wu Zi seems to have no guts. He was given such a good position, but he didn't even try to move. Zhang Lei couldn't understand it. Wasn't he usually so arrogant? Why did he turn into a coward when it came to the crucial moment?
"Fuck your mother, do you think I'm stupid? Go to the bank with you, and then you yell and they arrest me. You won't have to spend a penny, and you might even get a good citizen award or some bonus, right?" Zhang Lei tucked the knife behind his back and slapped him hard across the face with the bankbook.
"Big brother, please don't misunderstand, how could I dare!" Xiao Wuzi clasped his hands together. Zhang Lei didn't have a knife in his hand, so he stood there without daring to move. He looked so pitiful. If his grandmother hadn't indirectly died at his hands, Zhang Lei might have softened his heart.
Because Zhang Lei was blocking the stairwell, he couldn't come down and could only stay there in the place Zhang Lei had prepared for him.
"Don't explain, explaining is just covering up. I, your old man, would never take such a risk. I have no interest in fucking your mother, but your wife and daughter seem pretty good. Damn it, after ten years in jail, even a sow is Diao Chan!" Zhang Lei smacked his lips with his hand, and the sound of him smacking his lips came out without any attempt to hide it.
"Hehe, one guest shouldn't bother two hosts. Just think of it as finding a son-in-law for your daughter early. Maybe I'll have to call you 'Father-in-law' in the future. But before that, let's vent our frustrations by talking to our mother-in-law. It's the little girl's first time, she won't have a good time!" Zhang Lei turned around and started walking towards Xiao Wuzi's wife.
If he can still endure this, then Zhang Lei will truly admire him, and might even become his apprentice because of that admiration.
Unfortunately, Xiao Wuzi couldn't hold back in the end. As soon as Zhang Lei turned his back, he kicked out.
