Chapter 312 Forced to Help
Zhao Daze was immersed in fear. He kept repeating: "I don't want to die... I don't want to die..."
Chu Tian knew that they had to find a safe place so that they could think carefully about what to do next.
They hid in an abandoned factory, which was dark, damp, and full of rats and cockroaches, but at least they could temporarily avoid the police.
Chu Tian sat down against the wall and closed his eyes tiredly. The wound on his body was still aching, but he could no longer feel the pain. There was only endless confusion and fear in his heart.
Zhao Da curled up in a corner, trembling. He was so frightened that his mental state was close to collapse.
"Li Fei...what on earth does he owe..." Chu Tian muttered to himself.
"I don't know... I don't know..." Zhao Da answered in horror.
Silence spread between the two of them, with only the squeaking of mice and the crawling of cockroaches echoing in the empty factory.
Suddenly, Chu Tian thought of something. He opened his eyes abruptly and looked at Zhao Da: "Do you remember that Li Fei said that what he owed was... 'yes'..."
Zhao Da shook his head blankly: "I don't remember... I don't remember anything..."
Chu Tian frowned, trying to recall every detail of Li Fei's death. His eyes, his tone, his expression...
"Yes... yes..." Chu Tian repeated this word over and over again, trying to find a clue from it.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and a terrible idea appeared in his mind.
"Is... could it be... a human?"
Zhao Da was stunned. He widened his eyes and looked at Chu Tian in disbelief.
"People? Owe people? What do you mean?"
Chu Tian took a deep breath and said slowly: "What if...what if Li Fei owes you a life instead of money?"
Zhao Da was so frightened that his face turned pale. He trembled and said, "No... Impossible... Li Fei is not that kind of person..."
Chu Tian shook his head: "We don't know the real Li Fei. He lied to us and hid many things..."
"But...but why would he do that?"
"I don't know... maybe... maybe he was forced..."
This thought made Chu Tian feel horrified. If Li Fei really owed a life, then they were involved in a more dangerous vortex.
They must find out the truth, otherwise they will never be able to escape this nightmare.
"We...we must find the answer..." Chu Tian said firmly.
Zhao Da shook his head in fear: "I...I don't want to get involved anymore...I want to go home..."
Chu Tian knew that Zhao Da was already frightened, but he couldn't give up. He had to find the truth, for Li Fei and for himself.
"Zhao Da, I know you are afraid, but we can't run away. Only by finding the truth can we be truly safe."
Zhao Da was silent, he lowered his head, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Chu Tian patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Zhao Da raised his head and looked at Chu Tian's determined eyes, and he finally nodded.
"Okay...I...I'll go with you."
They decided to start the investigation from Li Fei's residence.
The next morning, they sneaked into Li Fei's apartment. The apartment was small and simple, with simple furnishings and nothing valuable.
Chu Tian searched every corner carefully, hoping to find some clues.
Suddenly, he found a locked iron box under the bed.
"What is this?" Zhao Da asked curiously.
Chu Tian didn't answer, he pried open the iron box with force.
Inside the box was a diary and a stack of photos.
Chu Tian picked up the diary and opened the first page.
The title page of the diary reads:
"If one day I am gone, please take this secret to the grave..."
Chu Tian's heart sank suddenly. He knew that he was about to uncover a terrible secret...
He took a deep breath and began to read the contents of the diary...
The first page of the diary was written in scribbled handwriting, as if it was written in a hurry:
"On July 2023, 7, I killed someone. I don't know what to do... I'm scared... I can't escape..."
Chu Tian's hands were shaking, and he could hardly believe his eyes. Li Fei, the seemingly honest and even cowardly Li Fei, actually killed someone?
"He...he killed someone..." Chu Tian muttered to himself.
Zhao Da came over, took a look at the contents of the diary, and gasped in shock.
“Is…is this true?”
Chu Tian nodded and continued to scroll down.
The contents of the diary are intermittent, recording Li Fei's fear and despair after committing the crime.
"On July 2023, 7, they were looking for me... I hid in the dark like a mouse... I didn't dare to see anyone... I was afraid..."
"July 2023, 7, I'm going crazy... I can't sleep... I keep dreaming about the dead man's eyes... He's always looking at me... accusing me..."
"On July 2023, 7, I... I started hearing voices... They whispered in my ears... Telling me... To turn myself in... To atone my sins..."
The more Chu Tian watched, the more frightened he became. He felt as if he were in Li Fei's inner world, feeling his fear, his despair, his collapse...
"On July 2023, 7, I…I decided to surrender myself…I…I can’t bear it anymore…"
The diary ends abruptly here.
Chu Tian closed the diary and took a deep breath.
"It seems that Li Fei wants to surrender himself, but..."
"But what?" Zhao Da asked nervously.
"But he couldn't do it." Chu Tian pointed at the photos in the iron box, "These photos... are the key."
The content of the photos is shocking.
The first photo showed a man lying in a pool of blood, his face full of fear and pain.
The second photo shows Li Fei standing next to the corpse with a bloody dagger in his hand.
The third photo is...
Chu Tian suddenly closed his eyes, he didn't dare to look any further.
In the third photo, there is a man in a black suit standing behind Li Fei, holding a gun in his hand, pointing it at the back of Li Fei's head.
"What...what does this mean?" Zhao Da asked tremblingly.
Chu Tian slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of fear and confusion.
"This means... Li Fei was forced... He... He was threatened..."
"Who? Who threatened him?"
Chu Tian shook his head: "I don't know... but... this person must be related to Li Fei's death..."
They continued to look through the remaining photos, hoping to find more clues.
The contents of the photos became increasingly bizarre and terrifying.
There is a photo showing Li Fei kneeling on the ground with a black box in front of him.
There is a photo of Li Fei tied to a chair, with scars all over his body.
There is a photo of...
Chu Tian suddenly felt dizzy, he staggered and almost fell.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Dalian hurriedly supported him.
Chu Tian shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
He took a deep breath and continued looking through the photos.
The last photo shows Li Fei standing on the edge of the roof, his face full of despair and pain.
On the back of the photo, there is a line of words written:
"This is your only way out..."
