Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!-Chapter 949 - 281: [Chen Yan’s "Household Registration"]
Chapter Two Hundred and Eighty-One [Chen Yan’s "Identity"]
In a mental institution in Fuyang City.
At night, in a solitary special care room.
Being a detained mortal, when Li Zhaowei lay on the bed, although he was bound with restraints, as per regulations, his wrists still wore handcuffs, the other end of which was attached to the iron frame by the bed.
The restraints on Li Zhaowei were tied very tightly, rendering him motionless on the bed, his eyes closed, not moving an inch.
The room was unlit, completely dark, and the corridor outside was dimly lit.
Only at night, occasionally, came the sudden cries of other patients from other rooms.
In the room, a figure appeared silently, then quietly sat by Li Zhaowei’s bed.
Li Zhaowei suddenly opened his eyes, breathing heavily, his gaze full of terror, rapidly searching for something.
"Don’t be afraid, I’m not the female ghost coming to claim your life."
Chen Yan spoke with a smile, lowering his voice.
His tone was very cold.
"As I guessed. Li Xin’s fierce ghost haunted you every night in your dreams, driving you to madness.
But after she faded away, you no longer had those nightmares, slowly, you started to return to normal.
I purposely waited two more days because this scene had to wait until you regained your sanity to be interesting.
Otherwise, a lunatic cannot savor the taste of punishment."
Li Zhaowei trembled violently, "You, you you, you..."
"I secretly looked at your medical records, you had severe suicidal tendencies before, didn’t you? Even self-harmed multiple times — but were saved.
Hmm, what a pity, really a pity."
Chen Yan spoke, reaching out to gently tap Li Zhaowei’s mouth.
Li Zhaowei immediately closed his mouth, desperately trying to make a sound from his throat, but with his mouth tightly shut, even with all his strength, it only became a whimper.
"Speaking of which, you are the main culprit.
You harbored ill intentions, you’ve been coveting Li Xin for many years, right? You had evil thoughts when you saw her return to the village for the banquet, grabbing animal tranquilizers, you drugged Li Xin, intending rapacious acts at the farmer’s association home.
So, you are the main perpetrator, the chief culprit.
Your sins are also the greatest, most numerous, deepest, and heaviest!"
Chen Yan spoke with a calm tone, as if casually: "So... your father died, your brother died — why should you not die?"
Li Zhaowei’s throat rasped.
"You still harbor hopes, right? You think the fierce ghost of Li Xin no longer seeks you, your madness gradually healed, you’ve regained consciousness.
Your father’s and your brother’s deaths are just penance for you.
You thought this matter would just be swept under the rug?
Then maybe, I’m saying maybe, maybe you could apply for medical parole, even not serving your full terms for injuring others.
Hmm, even if the application isn’t successful, you can comfortably stay in the hospital, live here for a year or two.
At worst, you’ll return to prison, live there for a year or two.
Once it’s over, you can return to the village to continue your life.
Your house, your land, you can pick up your old business again.
And a good life to look forward to...
You, you’ve been dreaming of such a good thing?"
Li Zhaowei’s eyelids flipped frantically, the sound from his throat became more insistent, and his body struggled fiercely.
"Your father died, he deserved it.
Though the people you harmed led to his death, he sheltered you, the criminal, helped dispose of the body — he is also guilty.
Initially, I thought your brother might have been innocent.
But then I thought again...
Your family of three, closely bonded, father and sons relying on each other for years.
Even if your brother wasn’t home during the crime.
But afterward... maybe over the years, your brother also knew.
It’s just that you were family, your brother, though not a murderer, wasn’t a virtuous soul, so he sheltered you, kept this rotten secret."
Chen Yan stood up, looking down at Li Zhaowei’s face, after watching for a while, nodded: "Hmm, based on your reaction... looks like my guess is right, your brother knew as well.
So, the three of you aren’t innocent.
That’s good, all the better, I don’t have to worry about Li Xin killing innocents.
Therefore, she did nothing wrong, she’s a blameless victim.
Me helping her, that’s acting on behalf of justice."
Chen Yan laughed, a seemingly joyful laugh.
"How did Li Xin die... well, she consumed the animal tranquilizers you secretly administered, then you plied her with alcohol.
But you didn’t know, such sedatives, combined with alcohol, can cause a person’s respiratory system to spasm, stopping their breath, causing them to go into shock, you, the killer, wouldn’t save her, didn’t dare save her, you simply watched her die..."
Saying so, Chen Yan placed his hand on Li Zhaowei’s blanket.
Slowly, Li Zhaowei felt a strange force penetrating his body.
His eyes widened, suddenly his body convulsed violently!
Then, he shook violently, making the bed creak.
However, Chen Yan reached out to firmly grip the bed frame, muffling the noise to a minimum.
"How Li Xin died, I will let you experience it all." Chen Yan whispered into Li Zhaowei’s ear.
Li Zhaowei’s struggle became increasingly fierce, the handcuffs on his wrists etched red marks.
