Chapter 22 Chapter 2 Confessions
"Are you okay?" Sakai looked worriedly at Ruo Ping, who was pulling the bandage on his arm and inspecting the wound.
"I can't die," Ruoping looked away from the bandage, "but at the time I really thought it was going to end like this. I should have known that detective work is no joke."
"I have encountered this kind of thing a lot, you should wake up sooner."
"That's right." At that time, after he broke free from the rope and ran to the beach on Monkey Island, he locked on to the big rock by the beach, hoping to climb to it to avoid the attack of the monkey group.He waded to the rocks, had to swim through a section of deep water, struggled to swim, only to slip back into the water just enough to grab the edge of the rocks, and the agony of drowning seemed like the end of the world Like a meteorite, it invaded his body overwhelmingly; the sea water corroded the wounds on his body, knocked out his consciousness, and he was almost desperate.Struggling wildly out of instinct, his head floated out of the water several times, and he caught a glimpse of the dark sky from an oblique angle, and then his vision was dark again, and he was submerged in the water again.Only those who have experienced the pain of ups and downs can understand the pain of ups and downs. He drowned once when he was very young, but this time, there was no less panic mixed with it than before; when his head broke through the water again At that moment, his sight at that moment allowed him to lock on the protruding edge of the stone. Almost at the same time, his hand grasped forward desperately, and the hard touch let him know that he was grasping; five fingers inserted forcefully into the stone , like five sharp daggers piercing a soft human body, the force was so great that he felt that his nails were about to fall apart; then he propped up his body vigorously and climbed out of the water...
When he came to the big rock, he was already weak.He lay slumped on the platform and fell into a coma.It was not until the passengers on the yacht in the morning found him that he was sent back to the hotel. At that time, Sakai was returning from the outside in a hurry, and as soon as he saw him dripping blood, he was rushed to the hospital.That is, in the hospital, he told Sakai what happened to him, and designed to trap Chen Shanjun, so Sakai went to the Pattaya police station, explained the situation, and invited police officer Srilo to the hospital, intending to let him witness the trap with his own eyes operation.
And now... After the camel tour guide left, the two returned to the room. Sakai turned on the computer silently, still biting his unlit cigarette, and said to the computer screen, "Do you think the camel will plead guilty?"
"It's hard to say," Ruoping, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, looked forward, "I think he must have been shaken. Judging from the fact that he didn't deny it, it will be a matter of time before he surrenders himself, but it will take some time."
"In the end, I still don't understand his relationship with Chen Shanjun..."
Sakai flicked the keys a few times with his fingers, and suddenly fell silent.
"What kind of relationship do you think they will have?"
"This...it's hard to say. According to our previous deduction, Chen Shanjun designed the disappearance incident to elope with a woman he knew in Thailand. Apart from this, it seems that he can't think of other possibilities."
"It seems that there is no evidence to prove that the elopement partner is a woman." Sakai's expression suddenly became very strange.
"Is it..." Ruoping glanced at him, "I know what you're thinking, it's not impossible, but..."
"There is still no evidence, let him speak."
"Then, we just have to wait," Ruoping shook his head, "give him a day, if he doesn't come to us, we'll probably have to talk to him again."
"It seems like this is the only way to go," Sakai made a helpless expression, and then he took a deep breath, "What you call a mentally terrifying person... If it weren't for your inference and his attitude of denying later, I would still I really can't see that Tuo Zhen is such a cold-blooded person."
"It's no surprise that man is the best at hiding animals. Besides, we really know so little about him, don't we?"
"Well, that's right." After that, the two didn't say anything more, and they were ready to go to bed.The silence of Pattaya night passed quietly.
The highlight of the second day did not break out until night, and the time during the day was frighteningly boring. When Ruoping opened his eyes, it was nearly eleven o'clock, and Sakai beside him was sleeping like a treasure sunk into the ground; it was no wonder that he didn't sleep at all the night before. The room was a bit cold, and the temperature of the air conditioner had not been adjusted before going to bed, and now it was unknown how many degrees it had dropped to; he moved his body out of bed, and the wounds all over his body were aching. He sat on the edge of the bed, trying not to think about the case in his head, but all kinds of things in the past few days still unconsciously appeared. Is this the so-called lonely rumination after the case is over... maybe. He continued to meditate.Sakai returned to the real world at around 12:30 noon. They had a hasty lunch nearby and drove to Bangkok in the afternoon, intending to take a night cruise on the Chao Phraya River on a yacht.Sakai's client presented two tickets, which they decided to use.The two of them didn't make any further proposals along the way. When they arrived at the pier at the designated time, there was already a group of people waiting in line. Ruo Ping and Sakai chatted about the scenery in Thailand until they boarded the boat one by one. Night cruise on the Chao Phraya River is a popular group tourism activity in Bangkok. Ayutthaya, River Kwai and other places also have similar itineraries; however, the cruise time in these two places is relatively late, and most tourists have to stay overnight.Not in Bangkok, it wasn't even dark when they boarded. There are many seats arranged in the ship, neat tableware is placed on the elegant dining table, and there is also a bar at the entrance; the dinner is designed as a self-service salad bar.Ruo Ping and Sakai's seat is by the window, they settled themselves comfortably on the seat, wanting to temporarily throw away all their troubles.The shuttle waiters will replenish the drinks on the table for passengers from time to time.In an instant, Ruoping had already downed several cups of Coke, and his stomach was full. The self-service dishes are served on Thai five-color porcelain plates similar to Chinese cloisonne, as well as desserts and fruits.Sakai brought back a large plate of fried rice and vegetables, and devoured it hungrily; the female singer arranged on the boat sang songs and shuttled between the aisles, accompanied by the performance of musical instruments on the stage, heating up the atmosphere of the whole scene. But Ruoping was absent-minded, staring at the scenery outside the window.In the evening, the Chao Phraya River has a special style, passing many temples and private houses built on the water along the bank, and also seeing buildings such as the Peninsula Hotel and the Oriental Hotel.The Chao Phraya River flows through Ayutthaya (a city 100 kilometers north of Bangkok and was once the second capital of Thailand) and runs through Bangkok. It is the river of life in central Thailand. In Thai, MeaNam means "river". .Now looking at the river that is gradually being shrouded in night, his thoughts are unconsciously grayed out, as if everything here is covered by some kind of impenetrable tulle, making it unpredictable. Sakai put down the glass, looked at Ruoping, wanted to say something but swallowed it back, and after some hesitation, he said straightforwardly: "He still didn't find us." Ruoping looked away from the window, and replied: "Yes, as long as the motive is not understood, the case is not over. But tonight...we should forget everything and enjoy this trip to Thailand to the fullest." "Well, the past few days are really exhausting, especially you, you should rest and recuperate, you just walked back from the gate of hell." "Even watching a ladyboy show can't free me from the hard work of the past few days." After the night cruise on the Chao Phraya River, Ruo Ping and Sakai left the pier, returned to the car, and went to the ladyboy show venue. The Tiffany Show is a good choice to end the trip. They watched the show at 8:30. Although they had only watched it not long ago, Sakai's client also presented two tickets to the Tiffany Show. It seems that this This customer is very generous, as expected of a rich man in Bangkok; if Ruoping's own client is often such a role, he will enjoy it very much. When it comes to ladyboy shows, the most famous one is of course the Tiffany ladyboy show in Pattaya, which has the longest history; in addition, Phuket, Chiang Mai, and Bangkok also have their own famous ladyboy shows. They enter the show, settle into their seats, and the show begins immediately. The singer in the white dress is still one of the lead singers, such as the long chestnut hair of the waterfall, the pink ribbon around the head, the low-cut white dress, the flowers inlaid with chips, the oval face and heavy makeup of the classical beauty, They are all the same as in memory; the impression he made is very vivid and indelible. Temporarily indulged in singing and dancing, Ruoping's head was anesthetized for a moment.It wasn't until the lights came on at the end that he recovered from the dream world. They followed the crowd out of the show.After each performance, the ladyboys will stand in a row outside the show, and you can take photos with them, but you have to give a tip; watching them smile and beckoning tourists to pass is indeed quite attractive. "It's not bad," Sakai said, "but if I let my wife know that I'm taking pictures with transvestites here, I will definitely be strangled to death." "Then let's go," Ruoping yawned, "It's time to go back and rest." The last image he saw before leaving the show was the ladyboy in a white dress taking a photo with a male tourist, with a sweet smile on his face, he was not sure if the other party noticed his gaze.
"Uh...you have a visitor." After returning to the hotel, a call came from the counter. It sounded like Michai's voice was not full of sleep. "Do you want to go downstairs to see him or..." "What kind of visitor?" Ruoping asked. "...a... lady." "Ask her to wait a moment." He hung up the phone. "Who?" Sakai just came out of the bathroom, his face was still covered with foam from facial cleanser. "Someone is looking for us, you'd better change your clothes. Let's go down to the lobby and have a look." Five minutes later, the two stepped out of the elevator and walked directly to the lobby rest area.Some people were sitting on the sofa chatting sporadically, but only one woman was alone, and their eyes quickly caught up. That person met them just now; it is not so accurate to say that they have met, because the two of them did not talk, one was on the stage and the other was off the stage. It was the ladyboy singer in the white dress. "Sorry to bother you so late," the other party said, in English, "You can call me Jane." That should not be a woman's voice, but a man's; the ladyboy in front of him may not have undergone sex reassignment surgery, after all, the cost of an operation is astonishingly high, not everyone can afford it. Jen had shed her stage attire and put on a plain coat and trousers, but she still couldn't hide her beautiful, striking face. "What can you do with us?" Ruoping asked. "I'm just here to deliver something." Jane took out a beige envelope from her purse and handed it to Ruoping."Received by Lin Ruoping & Seiji Sakai" was written in black pen on it. "Who wrote this?" Ruoping turned over the envelope, but there was nothing else written on it. "Camel shake." "Camel shake?" Ruo Ping and Sakai said in unison. "Yes, he asked me to pass it on to you. As for what is written in it, I leave it to you to read." After finishing speaking, he got up from the sofa. "Wait," Ruoping stretched out his hand to stop, "Who is Tuo Zhen?" Jane shrugged, "Just friends. He wanted to give you the show in person, but you were already in there when he rushed over. He lingered outside the show for a long time, hesitating whether to meet you again. I happened to meet after the show and entrusted me with trust." "He can leave the letter at the hotel counter and let the service staff hand it over to us." "I don't know, it's just that he seems to want to hand this letter directly to you, rather than through the hands of someone he doesn't trust. In short, maybe there will be an explanation in the letter. If it's okay, I'm sorry." Carrying her purse, Jane nodded hastily and left the hotel lobby quickly. Ruo Ping and Sakai looked at each other, Sakai said: "It's really weird, let's go back to the room and have a look." They returned to the room and sat down on the chairs; Ruoping opened the envelope and took out a typewritten document, which read: When you read this letter, I will already be at the police station.Yes, I decided to turn myself in. The whole incident happened just like what Lin Ruoping deduced yesterday, but in this letter, I will add some unexplained doubts.I am writing this letter with peace of mind. I will tell you a secret that has been hidden in my heart for a long time. Since you are the detectives who solved this case, I think you have a right to know the truth.And because the truth involves a lot of my personal privacy, I only want to forward this letter to you. If possible, please keep it as a secret and keep it in your hearts. When I first met Chen Shanjun, my heart was filled with unspeakable emotions, and I thought I fell in love with him.I have never been married, because of my orientation, this kind of thing has no chance for me.I don't know why, I didn't tell anyone about it.Before working as a tour guide, I had several boyfriends, but in the end they all disappeared.After working as a tour guide, because of the busy life, I have no time to focus on emotional matters.When I am bored, I will often visit some underground massage parlors. The feasting and feasting here at night has long been a famous paradise.Although many nightclubs were forced to close down before, there are still many shops that are operating secretly. As long as you do some research, you can still find these places.Before I met Chen Shanjun, my life was always so empty. Chen Shanjun came to Thailand in March this year. He looks a little melancholy and doesn't talk much.Maybe he was quite inconspicuous in the eyes of others, but when I saw him for the first time, a wild fire in my heart burned rapidly.He has a seductive quality, especially the more indifferent his face is, the stronger it is. Perhaps noticing that I was looking at him, he shifted his gaze back to me; after that brief eye contact, I knew immediately that I had his permission. We also stayed at Royal Land in Pattaya that night. I made a call and he came to my room immediately. After that... The point is, we discussed many things afterwards; he confessed to me that he had a girlfriend who was about to talk about marriage, but his girlfriend knew very little about his heart.And he felt that there was an indelible gap between the two.It can be said that their relationship was arranged by their parents, completely disregarding Chen Shanjun's feelings; and his family was conservative, it was absolutely impossible to accept the relationship he really hoped for, so he dated this woman silently for several years. I remember seeing a real case. An emotional expert received a letter from a woman. She had been married to her husband for five years. One day, her husband brought a middle-aged man home and said that he hadn’t seen him for a long time when he was a student. An old friend, I happened to meet to catch up; that night her husband chatted with friends very late, she went to bed first without doubting him; in the middle of the night, she got up to go to the toilet, but when she passed the guest room, she heard a strange sound from inside, she She opened the door suspiciously, but the scene in front of her made her thunder from the blue sky. The husband and the friend were doing something that would make her faint even now when she recalled it.Later, her husband confessed to her that he had secretly dated that middle-aged man for more than a year, and in the past five years of marriage, the woman has never discovered the orientation of her other half... I think Chen Shanjun and his girlfriend are facing this situation, but the woman is not aware of it.Chen Shanjun told me that his girlfriend is a very possessive woman with a strong attitude, and from his point of view, she also has emotional control problems, which his parents are completely unaware of.They often quarrel over trivial matters, and the woman often makes trouble for no reason. Chen Shanjun is not good at words and does not know the skills of quarreling. She just lets his girlfriend be hysterical. He tried it, but it didn't work at all. He could only look at the woman quietly, see the tears welling up in her eyes, and listen to her repeating "I hate you", "I'm going to kill you", "You Go to hell"... Then he kept beating him with his hands and clawing at him with his nails. When the situation got out of control, Chen Shanjun would roar and throw his girlfriend away. She would frantically grab the utility knife on the side and put it on her arm With one stroke, blood would gurgle out, the woman looked at the wound in a daze, and then, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth... The next day, the woman would hug him tightly and murmur, "Are we going to get married? Will you love me forever? I'm sorry, I was wrong yesterday, but I love you..." and then cook a sumptuous meal The food was served to him as if nothing happened yesterday, and he was indeed deceived by this illusion, falling into the fantasy of nothing happening. That's it, the cycle of terror keeps going on.Chen Shanjun told me that this cycle is hell. He couldn't get out of this woman's control, he couldn't make up his mind to make a decision, the woman had already taken root in his heart, and he couldn't get rid of it, she was like a nightmare, possessing him in his dreams, he often woke up screaming and waking up.Chen Shanjun uses the Thai "ghost wife" as a metaphor for his girlfriend. He is like meeting the ghost Nana, lingering and heartbreaking.In the story of "Ghost Wife", after a man learns that his wife is a ghost, he wants to get rid of her and look for a normal human woman to associate with... Chen Shanjun met me, it was like searching and finding the same kind happy!It's like rebirth!But for the old girlfriend, if she just leaves without saying goodbye, it will cause her a terrible uproar, just like the anger of a ghost wife, the consequences will be unimaginable, and a different method must be used to make her die. I discussed with Chen Shanjun all night and tentatively drew up the outline of the plan.The two of us want to be together, that's for sure, and Chen Shanjun wants to get rid of his girlfriend, if a method can be used to combine the two goals, that's the best.We figured out a way. Let Chen Shanjun disappear miraculously in Thailand. As long as the masses believe in this supernatural event, the reason for his disappearance cannot be traced (because it originated from ghosts and gods). After the disappearance, Chen Shanjun can remain anonymous. After the limelight passes, he will change his life in Thailand. In this way, the two of us can be together happily. With this idea in mind, the next step is the details, everything about the plan must be drawn up in detail.After Chen Shanjun returned home, we continued to keep in touch with each other through the Internet, discussing the details of the plan, and initially worked out a trick based on the idea of eating a swimming pool.Both of us thought that such a trick should be practiced once to prevent mistakes, and the first disappearance event can also reduce the crowd in the hotel, so as to facilitate the second event later. Due to the first disappearance incident, a person must pretend to be a customer to stay in the hotel, and this person’s ID card is also required to book a room. One night, as usual, I brought a tour group to Pattaya to spend the night. At night, I had insomnia because I was thinking about the disappearance plan; I decided to take a walk by the beach.I own a yacht in Pattaya, which is a gift from a friend; I am often away from Pattaya, so I rent this yacht to others, but when I come to Pattaya, as long as I have time, I also often come to the moorings by the sea and drive the yacht out to sea to relax. When I came to the beach that night, I saw a figure walking bumpily on the sand; he staggered, and suddenly his body froze and he collapsed on the ground.I went up to check and found that it was a downcast young man, dead, with luggage and ID cards in it.On a whim, I decided to take full advantage of this divine coincidence! I carried the young man's body on the yacht. He smelled of alcohol. I don't know what disease he had, but maybe he died suddenly from drinking too much alcohol.As long as we have his certificate, our plan can be carried out. What we need to do now is to hide his body. I sailed the yacht to a nearby island. There are many large and small islands in the Gulf of Siam, as long as you don’t go to Monkey Island.I moved some stones, wrapped them around the body of the young man with the ropes on the yacht, and sank it in the sea; although I did this to the deceased, he was dead and disembodied anyway. Not worth too much concern. Afterwards, the progress went smoothly, and the source of the sugar dolls was quite troublesome, but under my undisclosed mediation, I finally got a few candy dolls from the contacts I met in the underground bar.Get a few more because you need to do experiments beforehand, even if it is a drill, it is impossible to implement without testing first. In order to let Chen Shanjun's girlfriend know the whole story of the disappearance incident, he carefully wrote a travel note, using a member of the tour group as the protagonist to write what he saw and heard about the disappearance incident.Chen Shanjun had talked with Qiu Shiling before the swimming pool incident. He knew that after Qiu Shiling left Pattaya, he might continue to travel to Chiang Mai and it would be difficult to meet him. Therefore, it is not easy to reveal his identity by pretending to be him.Chen Shanjun immediately wrote a note and submitted it to a magazine she often reads, in order to let her know that his disappearance was not intentional, but incomprehensible, the will of ghosts and gods.She must accept that her boyfriend is involved in unbelievable paranormal events that will leave her with nowhere to turn.Faced with such incidents, it is difficult for the police to pursue them.Chen Shanjun did not mention the possibility of failure to submit his notes. I think he is either absolutely sure or has an alternative plan. Yes, this was done to get rid of the burden of feelings, and also to escape from the control of his parents. He was tired of that family and the living environment in Taiwan, China a long time ago.The progress of this plan, in another unusual form, allowed him to release the shackles that he could not face before, and it went quite smoothly.I assist him as an accomplice, and I am willing to bear all the guilt.We're already in the same boat. The only mistake was Shen Zhaopeng.The photographer gave me the URL of his website. After he came home, one day I browsed his supernatural website on a whim, and accidentally discovered that he planned to publish the photos of Chen Shanjun’s disappearance. This surprised me a lot. Shock.It turned out that he took photos of that incident in the early hours of that day!I don't know how much he will expose, but as soon as it is announced, all our hard work will be in vain.I told this incident to Chen Shanjun who had been hiding in my home at that time. He was very excited and said that the photos must not be released.For our future, we have reached a consensus before, and we will do whatever we can to achieve our goals. We decided to kill Shen Zhaopeng.Shen Zhaopeng is in Taiwan, China. To kill him, either he came to Thailand, or we went there; if Shen Zhaopeng came to Thailand and started in Thailand, I am afraid that the tracing line will soon fall on us, and even connect to the previous disappearance incident. relatively unfavorable.On the contrary, if he started there, there would be no evidence at all to show that his death was related to the disappearance in Thailand, and it would be impossible for the police to trace him to Thailand. Therefore, it is necessary to go to Taiwan, China to kill people. Then there is the question of who will do it.Since the disappearance incident broke out, Chen Shanjun had to hide for a while. Perhaps Taiwan, China has also started to pay attention to the tourists entering Thailand to see if Chen Shanjun went back secretly, so Chen Shanjun cannot be allowed to return at risk. Of course it is most appropriate for me to do it.In this way, not only can no motive for the murder be found, but it can also create an alibi for Chen Shanjun, which is great. After finally having a temporary vacation, I investigated Shen Zhaopeng's residence in Taipei and started to act. I won’t go into details about the process, but I can only say that it went smoothly. Maybe my heart was already petrified when disposing of Dong’s body, so I could even do things like murder; Complete numbness?Hehe, I don’t think even you who read the letter can answer this question, and I can’t even understand it myself... People’s hearts are so small... Just when everything seemed to be over, I received a contact from you. I didn't go to meet you because I didn't have enough resources at the time.Later, you also wrote to Qiu Shiling, Chen Shanjun planned to pretend to be Qiu Shiling, because you have never met him, so it is easy to pretend to be him, and you can also use him to strengthen the supernatural nature of supernatural events—for example, Chen Shanjun’s house forged by him Inner arson disappeared incident. But after knowing that you followed the line to investigate, we were also quite shocked. We were able to find Thailand, and seemed to be in the right direction. It seems that we underestimated the police in Taiwan, China. Because of his extreme worry, on the night of your meeting with Chen Shanjun, he secretly went to the hotel and went to the room where you were staying, wanting to know how much you really knew.Although he was discovered later, fortunately, he was on guard and slipped away quickly without being caught by you.But I also know from your mouth that you have grasped the truth.So we, who made mistakes again and again, drew up a plan to get rid of you and Sakai. The next morning, Chen Shanjun called you in the name of Qiu Shiling and leaked false news; our original plan was to ask whoever answered the phone to the beach, but it turned out that you answered; you did go to the beach that night to meet you The person in question is Chen Shanjun, and the body on the yacht is actually me.After Chen Shanjun stunned you with medicine cloth, he immediately carried you out to sea. At that time, I thought he would directly throw you into the sea, but I didn't expect that he, who had never killed anyone before, would still be unable to do so and dumped you on Monkey Island.As for me, after I took your mobile phone, I went back to the hotel to find Sakai.Unfortunately, I underestimated the difficulty of this matter, but fled in defeat.Fortunately, he was not caught up. Later, Chen Shanjun was designed by you in the hospital, and now his life is in danger. I was also interviewed by you, and I exposed the trick we had conceived for a long time in person... It took me a whole night and a morning to think, and another afternoon to write this letter. I don't need to tell you the process of my thinking, but in the end I made a choice and I chose to surrender.If Chen Shanjun died, everything would be meaningless, but he is not dead now, he is just on the verge of becoming a vegetable, I can't give up a glimmer of hope, can I? I thought, that's the end of it, I don't regret doing these things, it's my choice.
This is the end of the letter with the cold tone of the hump.After pondering for a long time, Sakai said, "What do you think?" "The motive part is the same as our previous conjecture. With this letter, all doubts have been clarified." "indeed." "I think we should first confirm whether Tuo Zhen really surrendered to the police." "The letter didn't say which police station—" Sakai's cell phone rang suddenly, he picked it up from the table and pressed the call button. Ruoping shrugged, opened the letter just now and glanced again, he found that Sakai was talking in Thai. The detective put down the phone and said to Ruoping: "Officer Srilo called. Tuo Zhen has indeed surrendered. He confessed to annihilating Dong's body, killing Shen Zhaopeng, and assisting in planning the disappearance." Ruoping nodded, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "This case is finally over, and now I can finally enjoy the beaches of Pattaya."
The highlight of the second day did not break out until night, and the time during the day was frighteningly boring. When Ruoping opened his eyes, it was nearly eleven o'clock, and Sakai beside him was sleeping like a treasure sunk into the ground; it was no wonder that he didn't sleep at all the night before. The room was a bit cold, and the temperature of the air conditioner had not been adjusted before going to bed, and now it was unknown how many degrees it had dropped to; he moved his body out of bed, and the wounds all over his body were aching. He sat on the edge of the bed, trying not to think about the case in his head, but all kinds of things in the past few days still unconsciously appeared. Is this the so-called lonely rumination after the case is over... maybe. He continued to meditate.Sakai returned to the real world at around 12:30 noon. They had a hasty lunch nearby and drove to Bangkok in the afternoon, intending to take a night cruise on the Chao Phraya River on a yacht.Sakai's client presented two tickets, which they decided to use.The two of them didn't make any further proposals along the way. When they arrived at the pier at the designated time, there was already a group of people waiting in line. Ruo Ping and Sakai chatted about the scenery in Thailand until they boarded the boat one by one. Night cruise on the Chao Phraya River is a popular group tourism activity in Bangkok.

The self-service dishes are served on Thai five-color porcelain plates similar to Chinese cloisonne, as well as desserts and fruits.Sakai brought back a large plate of fried rice and vegetables, and devoured it hungrily; the female singer arranged on the boat sang songs and shuttled between the aisles, accompanied by the performance of musical instruments on the stage, heating up the atmosphere of the whole scene.

But tonight...we should forget everything and enjoy this trip to Thailand to the fullest." "Well, the past few days are really exhausting, especially you, you should rest and recuperate, you just walked back from the gate of hell." "Even watching a ladyboy show can't free me from the hard work of the past few days." After the night cruise on the Chao Phraya River, Ruo Ping and Sakai left the pier, returned to the car, and went to the ladyboy show venue. The Tiffany Show is a good choice to end the trip. They watched the show at 8:30. Although they had only watched it not long ago, Sakai's client also presented two tickets to the Tiffany Show.

"It's not bad," Sakai said, "but if I let my wife know that I'm taking pictures with transvestites here, I will definitely be strangled to death." "Then let's go," Ruoping yawned, "It's time to go back and rest." The last image he saw before leaving the show was the ladyboy in a white dress taking a photo with a male tourist, with a sweet smile on his face, he was not sure if the other party noticed his gaze.
"Uh...you have a visitor." After returning to the hotel, a call came from the counter. It sounded like Michai's voice was not full of sleep. "Do you want to go downstairs to see him or..." "What kind of visitor?" Ruoping asked. "...a... lady." "Ask her to wait a moment." He hung up the phone. "Who?" Sakai just came out of the bathroom, his face was still covered with foam from facial cleanser. "Someone is looking for us, you'd better change your clothes. Let's go down to the lobby and have a look." Five minutes later, the two stepped out of the elevator and walked directly to the lobby rest area.Some people were sitting on the sofa chatting sporadically, but only one woman was alone, and their eyes quickly caught up. That person met them just now; it is not so accurate to say that they have met, because the two of them did not talk, one was on the stage and the other was off the stage. It was the ladyboy singer in the white dress. "Sorry to bother you so late," the other party said, in English, "You can call me Jane." That should not be a woman's voice, but a man's; the ladyboy in front of him may not have undergone sex reassignment surgery, after all, the cost of an operation is astonishingly high, not everyone can afford it. Jen had shed her stage attire and put on a plain coat and trousers, but she still couldn't hide her beautiful, striking face. "What can you do with us?" Ruoping asked. "I'm just here to deliver something." Jane took out a beige envelope from her purse and handed it to Ruoping."Received by Lin Ruoping & Seiji Sakai" was written in black pen on it. "Who wrote this?" Ruoping turned over the envelope, but there was nothing else written on it. "Camel shake." "Camel shake?" Ruo Ping and Sakai said in unison. "Yes, he asked me to pass it on to you. As for what is written in it, I leave it to you to read." After finishing speaking, he got up from the sofa. "Wait," Ruoping stretched out his hand to stop, "Who is Tuo Zhen?" Jane shrugged, "Just friends. He wanted to give you the show in person, but you were already in there when he rushed over. He lingered outside the show for a long time, hesitating whether to meet you again. I happened to meet after the show and entrusted me with trust." "He can leave the letter at the hotel counter and let the service staff hand it over to us." "I don't know, it's just that he seems to want to hand this letter directly to you, rather than through the hands of someone he doesn't trust. In short, maybe there will be an explanation in the letter. If it's okay, I'm sorry." Carrying her purse, Jane nodded hastily and left the hotel lobby quickly. Ruo Ping and Sakai looked at each other, Sakai said: "It's really weird, let's go back to the room and have a look." They returned to the room and sat down on the chairs; Ruoping opened the envelope and took out a typewritten document, which read: When you read this letter, I will already be at the police station.Yes, I decided to turn myself in. The whole incident happened just like what Lin Ruoping deduced yesterday, but in this letter, I will add some unexplained doubts.I am writing this letter with peace of mind. I will tell you a secret that has been hidden in my heart for a long time. Since you are the detectives who solved this case, I think you have a right to know the truth.And because the truth involves a lot of my personal privacy, I only want to forward this letter to you. If possible, please keep it as a secret and keep it in your hearts. When I first met Chen Shanjun, my heart was filled with unspeakable emotions, and I thought I fell in love with him.I have never been married, because of my orientation, this kind of thing has no chance for me.I don't know why, I didn't tell anyone about it.Before working as a tour guide, I had several boyfriends, but in the end they all disappeared.After working as a tour guide, because of the busy life, I have no time to focus on emotional matters.When I am bored, I will often visit some underground massage parlors. The feasting and feasting here at night has long been a famous paradise.Although many nightclubs were forced to close down before, there are still many shops that are operating secretly. As long as you do some research, you can still find these places.Before I met Chen Shanjun, my life was always so empty. Chen Shanjun came to Thailand in March this year. He looks a little melancholy and doesn't talk much.Maybe he was quite inconspicuous in the eyes of others, but when I saw him for the first time, a wild fire in my heart burned rapidly.He has a seductive quality, especially the more indifferent his face is, the stronger it is. Perhaps noticing that I was looking at him, he shifted his gaze back to me; after that brief eye contact, I knew immediately that I had his permission. We also stayed at Royal Land in Pattaya that night. I made a call and he came to my room immediately. After that... The point is, we discussed many things afterwards; he confessed to me that he had a girlfriend who was about to talk about marriage, but his girlfriend knew very little about his heart.And he felt that there was an indelible gap between the two.It can be said that their relationship was arranged by their parents, completely disregarding Chen Shanjun's feelings; and his family was conservative, it was absolutely impossible to accept the relationship he really hoped for, so he dated this woman silently for several years. I remember seeing a real case. An emotional expert received a letter from a woman. She had been married to her husband for five years. One day, her husband brought a middle-aged man home and said that he hadn’t seen him for a long time when he was a student. An old friend, I happened to meet to catch up; that night her husband chatted with friends very late, she went to bed first without doubting him; in the middle of the night, she got up to go to the toilet, but when she passed the guest room, she heard a strange sound from inside, she She opened the door suspiciously, but the scene in front of her made her thunder from the blue sky. The husband and the friend were doing something that would make her faint even now when she recalled it.Later, her husband confessed to her that he had secretly dated that middle-aged man for more than a year, and in the past five years of marriage, the woman has never discovered the orientation of her other half... I think Chen Shanjun and his girlfriend are facing this situation, but the woman is not aware of it.Chen Shanjun told me that his girlfriend is a very possessive woman with a strong attitude, and from his point of view, she also has emotional control problems, which his parents are completely unaware of.They often quarrel over trivial matters, and the woman often makes trouble for no reason. Chen Shanjun is not good at words and does not know the skills of quarreling. She just lets his girlfriend be hysterical. He tried it, but it didn't work at all. He could only look at the woman quietly, see the tears welling up in her eyes, and listen to her repeating "I hate you", "I'm going to kill you", "You Go to hell"... Then he kept beating him with his hands and clawing at him with his nails. When the situation got out of control, Chen Shanjun would roar and throw his girlfriend away. She would frantically grab the utility knife on the side and put it on her arm With one stroke, blood would gurgle out, the woman looked at the wound in a daze, and then, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth... The next day, the woman would hug him tightly and murmur, "Are we going to get married? Will you love me forever? I'm sorry, I was wrong yesterday, but I love you..." and then cook a sumptuous meal The food was served to him as if nothing happened yesterday, and he was indeed deceived by this illusion, falling into the fantasy of nothing happening. That's it, the cycle of terror keeps going on.Chen Shanjun told me that this cycle is hell. He couldn't get out of this woman's control, he couldn't make up his mind to make a decision, the woman had already taken root in his heart, and he couldn't get rid of it, she was like a nightmare, possessing him in his dreams, he often woke up screaming and waking up.Chen Shanjun uses the Thai "ghost wife" as a metaphor for his girlfriend. He is like meeting the ghost Nana, lingering and heartbreaking.In the story of "Ghost Wife", after a man learns that his wife is a ghost, he wants to get rid of her and look for a normal human woman to associate with... Chen Shanjun met me, it was like searching and finding the same kind happy!It's like rebirth!But for the old girlfriend, if she just leaves without saying goodbye, it will cause her a terrible uproar, just like the anger of a ghost wife, the consequences will be unimaginable, and a different method must be used to make her die. I discussed with Chen Shanjun all night and tentatively drew up the outline of the plan.The two of us want to be together, that's for sure, and Chen Shanjun wants to get rid of his girlfriend, if a method can be used to combine the two goals, that's the best.We figured out a way. Let Chen Shanjun disappear miraculously in Thailand. As long as the masses believe in this supernatural event, the reason for his disappearance cannot be traced (because it originated from ghosts and gods). After the disappearance, Chen Shanjun can remain anonymous. After the limelight passes, he will change his life in Thailand. In this way, the two of us can be together happily. With this idea in mind, the next step is the details, everything about the plan must be drawn up in detail.After Chen Shanjun returned home, we continued to keep in touch with each other through the Internet, discussing the details of the plan, and initially worked out a trick based on the idea of eating a swimming pool.Both of us thought that such a trick should be practiced once to prevent mistakes, and the first disappearance event can also reduce the crowd in the hotel, so as to facilitate the second event later. Due to the first disappearance incident, a person must pretend to be a customer to stay in the hotel, and this person’s ID card is also required to book a room. One night, as usual, I brought a tour group to Pattaya to spend the night. At night, I had insomnia because I was thinking about the disappearance plan; I decided to take a walk by the beach.I own a yacht in Pattaya, which is a gift from a friend; I am often away from Pattaya, so I rent this yacht to others, but when I come to Pattaya, as long as I have time, I also often come to the moorings by the sea and drive the yacht out to sea to relax. When I came to the beach that night, I saw a figure walking bumpily on the sand; he staggered, and suddenly his body froze and he collapsed on the ground.I went up to check and found that it was a downcast young man, dead, with luggage and ID cards in it.On a whim, I decided to take full advantage of this divine coincidence! I carried the young man's body on the yacht. He smelled of alcohol. I don't know what disease he had, but maybe he died suddenly from drinking too much alcohol.As long as we have his certificate, our plan can be carried out. What we need to do now is to hide his body. I sailed the yacht to a nearby island. There are many large and small islands in the Gulf of Siam, as long as you don’t go to Monkey Island.I moved some stones, wrapped them around the body of the young man with the ropes on the yacht, and sank it in the sea; although I did this to the deceased, he was dead and disembodied anyway. Not worth too much concern. Afterwards, the progress went smoothly, and the source of the sugar dolls was quite troublesome, but under my undisclosed mediation, I finally got a few candy dolls from the contacts I met in the underground bar.Get a few more because you need to do experiments beforehand, even if it is a drill, it is impossible to implement without testing first. In order to let Chen Shanjun's girlfriend know the whole story of the disappearance incident, he carefully wrote a travel note, using a member of the tour group as the protagonist to write what he saw and heard about the disappearance incident.Chen Shanjun had talked with Qiu Shiling before the swimming pool incident. He knew that after Qiu Shiling left Pattaya, he might continue to travel to Chiang Mai and it would be difficult to meet him. Therefore, it is not easy to reveal his identity by pretending to be him.Chen Shanjun immediately wrote a note and submitted it to a magazine she often reads, in order to let her know that his disappearance was not intentional, but incomprehensible, the will of ghosts and gods.She must accept that her boyfriend is involved in unbelievable paranormal events that will leave her with nowhere to turn.Faced with such incidents, it is difficult for the police to pursue them.Chen Shanjun did not mention the possibility of failure to submit his notes. I think he is either absolutely sure or has an alternative plan. Yes, this was done to get rid of the burden of feelings, and also to escape from the control of his parents. He was tired of that family and the living environment in Taiwan, China a long time ago.The progress of this plan, in another unusual form, allowed him to release the shackles that he could not face before, and it went quite smoothly.I assist him as an accomplice, and I am willing to bear all the guilt.We're already in the same boat. The only mistake was Shen Zhaopeng.The photographer gave me the URL of his website. After he came home, one day I browsed his supernatural website on a whim, and accidentally discovered that he planned to publish the photos of Chen Shanjun’s disappearance. This surprised me a lot. Shock.It turned out that he took photos of that incident in the early hours of that day!I don't know how much he will expose, but as soon as it is announced, all our hard work will be in vain.I told this incident to Chen Shanjun who had been hiding in my home at that time. He was very excited and said that the photos must not be released.For our future, we have reached a consensus before, and we will do whatever we can to achieve our goals. We decided to kill Shen Zhaopeng.Shen Zhaopeng is in Taiwan, China. To kill him, either he came to Thailand, or we went there; if Shen Zhaopeng came to Thailand and started in Thailand, I am afraid that the tracing line will soon fall on us, and even connect to the previous disappearance incident. relatively unfavorable.On the contrary, if he started there, there would be no evidence at all to show that his death was related to the disappearance in Thailand, and it would be impossible for the police to trace him to Thailand. Therefore, it is necessary to go to Taiwan, China to kill people. Then there is the question of who will do it.Since the disappearance incident broke out, Chen Shanjun had to hide for a while. Perhaps Taiwan, China has also started to pay attention to the tourists entering Thailand to see if Chen Shanjun went back secretly, so Chen Shanjun cannot be allowed to return at risk. Of course it is most appropriate for me to do it.In this way, not only can no motive for the murder be found, but it can also create an alibi for Chen Shanjun, which is great. After finally having a temporary vacation, I investigated Shen Zhaopeng's residence in Taipei and started to act. I won’t go into details about the process, but I can only say that it went smoothly. Maybe my heart was already petrified when disposing of Dong’s body, so I could even do things like murder; Complete numbness?Hehe, I don’t think even you who read the letter can answer this question, and I can’t even understand it myself... People’s hearts are so small... Just when everything seemed to be over, I received a contact from you. I didn't go to meet you because I didn't have enough resources at the time.Later, you also wrote to Qiu Shiling, Chen Shanjun planned to pretend to be Qiu Shiling, because you have never met him, so it is easy to pretend to be him, and you can also use him to strengthen the supernatural nature of supernatural events—for example, Chen Shanjun’s house forged by him Inner arson disappeared incident. But after knowing that you followed the line to investigate, we were also quite shocked. We were able to find Thailand, and seemed to be in the right direction. It seems that we underestimated the police in Taiwan, China. Because of his extreme worry, on the night of your meeting with Chen Shanjun, he secretly went to the hotel and went to the room where you were staying, wanting to know how much you really knew.Although he was discovered later, fortunately, he was on guard and slipped away quickly without being caught by you.But I also know from your mouth that you have grasped the truth.So we, who made mistakes again and again, drew up a plan to get rid of you and Sakai. The next morning, Chen Shanjun called you in the name of Qiu Shiling and leaked false news; our original plan was to ask whoever answered the phone to the beach, but it turned out that you answered; you did go to the beach that night to meet you The person in question is Chen Shanjun, and the body on the yacht is actually me.After Chen Shanjun stunned you with medicine cloth, he immediately carried you out to sea. At that time, I thought he would directly throw you into the sea, but I didn't expect that he, who had never killed anyone before, would still be unable to do so and dumped you on Monkey Island.As for me, after I took your mobile phone, I went back to the hotel to find Sakai.Unfortunately, I underestimated the difficulty of this matter, but fled in defeat.Fortunately, he was not caught up. Later, Chen Shanjun was designed by you in the hospital, and now his life is in danger. I was also interviewed by you, and I exposed the trick we had conceived for a long time in person... It took me a whole night and a morning to think, and another afternoon to write this letter. I don't need to tell you the process of my thinking, but in the end I made a choice and I chose to surrender.If Chen Shanjun died, everything would be meaningless, but he is not dead now, he is just on the verge of becoming a vegetable, I can't give up a glimmer of hope, can I? I thought, that's the end of it, I don't regret doing these things, it's my choice.
This is the end of the letter with the cold tone of the hump.After pondering for a long time, Sakai said, "What do you think?" "The motive part is the same as our previous conjecture. With this letter, all doubts have been clarified." "indeed." "I think we should first confirm whether Tuo Zhen really surrendered to the police." "The letter didn't say which police station—" Sakai's cell phone rang suddenly, he picked it up from the table and pressed the call button. Ruoping shrugged, opened the letter just now and glanced again, he found that Sakai was talking in Thai. The detective put down the phone and said to Ruoping: "Officer Srilo called. Tuo Zhen has indeed surrendered. He confessed to annihilating Dong's body, killing Shen Zhaopeng, and assisting in planning the disappearance." Ruoping nodded, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "This case is finally over, and now I can finally enjoy the beaches of Pattaya."
