Chapter 1377: Chapter 1286: Queen of Violence 9

Although Shuangshuang looked expressionless, this girl had a stiff face, so Tang Feng wasn’t sure if Shuangshuang was truly calm inside.

Therefore, to be considerate of Shuangshuang’s emotions, Tang Feng directly said, "I’ll lead the investigation here. Take a few people and search for evidence in other rooms."

Shuangshuang knew Tang Feng meant well. Although she was indeed calm, she accepted Tang Feng’s kindness: "Thank you, Brother Tang."

Tang Feng waved his hand. Although their Special Handling Office No.1 didn’t differentiate by gender and offered no special treatment to females, taking care of newcomers was a norm in their line of work. After all, everyone started as a newcomer, and his old captain took care of him in the same way back then.

The room where someone lived had features typical of a bachelor — chaotic, with things strewn everywhere. Shuangshuang glanced around and opened the closet. The clothes inside were neither folded nor hung up but were piled up in heaps.

Shuangshuang pulled out the clothes and rummaged through them but found nothing useful. Instead, she heard a tapping sound coming from one of the drawers of the wardrobe.

It felt like something alive was trapped inside, tapping as if calling for help. Shuangshuang thought of the possibility of a dice-shaped intelligent life form and hurriedly reached out to open the drawer.

Sure enough, inside the drawer, a dice with one missing corner was jumping around, banging its body against the side of the wall.

Seeing the drawer open, the dice eagerly sprang out, rolled several times on the ground, and weakly bounced a couple of times. Shuangshuang bent down to pick up the dice.

"Can’t you speak anymore?" The dice rolled around in Shuangshuang’s palm, trying hard to make a nodding motion, confirming Shuangshuang’s question.

This dice had been using its body to bang against the drawer rather than speaking, leading Shuangshuang to suspect that it could no longer make a sound.

Intelligent beings communicated using mental exchanges, so when they spoke, the voice would resonate directly in one’s mind.

But intelligent beings could also get injured. If a wound was too large, they could die. This dice had once lost a corner, obviously injured. Now it seemed the injury affected its ability to speak.

This is troublesome. This dice neither had hands nor feet. Otherwise, losing the ability to speak could still allow for written communication. Now, unable to write or speak, this evidence was rendered completely useless.

Back at the Special Handling Office No.1, Tang Feng and Shuangshuang immediately interrogated the suspect. In the interrogation room, the delicate-looking man sat with his head down, silent. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Tang Feng looked at him and started the conversation: "Ever since you were caught, you’ve been resisting by saying nothing. Do you think this will help you evade the charges?

I’ll tell you, with solid evidence, even if you don’t speak, we can still convict you! The evidence found at your residence is too numerous to count, so you can’t escape conviction."

The delicate man suddenly laughed. He lifted his head, his gaze landing on Tang Feng and Shuangshuang, his face showing some scornful mockery as he said: "I’m already sick of living. I’m not afraid of death. Do you think I’d fear confessing?"

Tang Feng frowned and thumped the table: "Since you’re not afraid to confess, why did you kill so many people with such brutal methods? What was your motive?"

"People?" The delicate man repeated with a strange tone, then sneered: "No, I didn’t kill people. What I killed were some damned beasts!"

The delicate man’s face twisted with hatred, his expressions alternating between laughter and tears as he asked Tang Feng and Shuangshuang, "Have you ever felt despair? Lost everything overnight? Do you know what that feels like?"

Tang Feng and Shuangshuang didn’t speak, but both could see that the man’s mental state seemed somewhat unstable.

The delicate man didn’t need a response from Tang Feng and Shuangshuang. He continued talking to himself: "I used to have a happy family.

I had a gentle and beautiful wife, a loving mother, and a lovely child. I was an heir to an Ancient Martial Family, working as a small team leader at a top security company, living quite well.

I was truly happy back then. But overnight, that happiness was gone. My mother, wife, and child were all killed.

The one who killed them was a gambler who lost all his money gambling and wanted to find more, seeing only women in my house with malicious intent, broke in and robbed, then killed my family!

I was filled with hate! If he wanted to rob money, so be it. But why kill people? I spent half a year training a pack of dogs. Using them, I tracked down that gambler and killed him to avenge my family.

But that wasn’t enough. There are so many compulsive gamblers in this world. They harm others, and even if they’ve not harmed anyone now, they will in the future.

These people are a plague to society. It’s better if I clean them up in advance, so no one else suffers like I did.

I didn’t know how to find those compulsive gamblers at first, but I got a dice that was an intelligent being from the gambler who killed my family.

This thing was just too tempting for gamblers. I used this dice to attract them one by one, then took them to the house I found in the suburbs and locked them up.

Once a group was full, I’d send them all off together. But they were all sinners, and naturally, they had to be punished before death; otherwise, how would they atone for their sins?

I originally planned to send away several batches of such sinners, but unfortunately, I was discovered after sending off the first batch. But it doesn’t matter anymore.

I’m already tired of living. I have been weary for a long time, and I’ve longed to join my family. I’ve already kept them waiting too long."

After leaving the interrogation room, Shuangshuang remained silent. Tang Feng glanced at Shuangshuang and placed a hand on her shoulder: "What’s the matter, feeling down?"

Shuangshuang remained silent for a moment. She indeed felt a bit down: "Before we caught him, I thought this murderer deserved to die. But now that we’ve caught him, my mood isn’t uplifted."

Tang Feng chuckled lightly, patting Shuangshuang’s shoulder: "That’s normal. This criminal isn’t a simple villain, and given his tragic past, it’s natural to feel some sympathy.

But his guilt is real, and we didn’t arrest the wrong person, so as long as you have a clear conscience, it’s fine. Don’t overthink it; after working through a few more cases, you won’t be as easily affected."

Shuangshuang nodded: "I understand, Brother Tang. No need to worry, I’ll adjust my mood."

Though she said so, Shuangshuang’s mood was still low. Shuangshuang was used to being expressionless and felt she hid her emotions well, but Tang Feng still noticed Shuangshuang was in a bad mood.

He thought for a moment and said: "Our Special Handling Office No.1 has a dedicated program on the TV network, mainly educating about the laws and regulations that intelligent beings need to follow and various case analyses. By chance, it’s our second team’s turn to handle this episode, why don’t we produce an anti-gambling promotional program?"
