Han Kuan looked deathly pale as he said, “I was really out of control at that ti! At first, I just sought comfort from killing people, and my narrow theory of justice satisfied my heart, which is now only filled with humiliation and depression from the things that I suffered in the past.”
He then added, “I feel that I really beca a devil. With the power of the devil, I felt like I could eradicate all of the injustice in the world! Like the characters in my novels, I could use alternative ans to uphold justice and help the weak people who have suffered unfair treatnt in the past!”
Han Kuan laughed wildly. “But, I didn’t realize that the devil in my heart had eroded , causing
to gradually lose myself amid the killing, thus falling deeper under the devil’s control! In the end, I was completely out of control and could no longer contain my desire to kill!”
He took a long, deep breath, they continued narrating his story, “When I ca back from Jiangxing County to Beiqian, I really thought that was the end of my life! The car I was driving was owned by the company, which I knew could be easily traced back to !”
Han Kuan shook his head. “I was so frightened that I couldn’t think about anything else. I just wanted to go ho. So, as soon as I arrived in Beiqian, I said goodbye to Mr. Lang and got on the train to go ho one day earlier than I had originally planned.”
He then added, “When I get ho and cald down a bit, I started to analyze what had happened to
carefully. I couldn’t help but get more terrified as I did so. Only then did I finally realize how crazy I was! My serial killing plan was full of loopholes! I knew that if the police connected all of the deaths, I would definitely beco the main suspect!”
He sighed. “So, during the following year, I was completely overwheld with fear and panic! I would often dream that the police rushed into my house and handcuffed ! But, that didn’t happen. Everything was so peaceful... At least until I got the news that Mr. Lang had died of an illness after I left.”
“Because it was so peaceful, it made
feel very uncomfortable. But, when I cald down, I realized my problem. I lost control very often. So, during that ti, I read a lot of books and tried to minimize my contact with the outside world, which suppressed my deep impulse to beco the devil again! However, a year later, what I was most worried about happened!”
Han Kuan went on to say, “Although it was not exactly like what happened in my dream... Soone did finally link the deaths together, and a guy even saw my devil mask! That’s how the na Devil Case ca about.”
He shook his head. “Before that, I thought that the only person who had seen my mask was hit and killed by the truck. At that ti, the dia was not like it is now, and there were all kinds of versions of the case floating around. There were many versions that even sounded funny to !”
“But, anyway, I panicked, thinking that my deadline was coming! In my mory, I always felt that when I was fighting with that person in the building on the sixth floor, there might have been soone else in the corridor, who saw
wearing the mask and spread the story.”
He shook his head, then said, “If that was the case, I knew that the police would probably find
as long as they found out about the accident! This was because where the accident happened is very close to where I parked my car!”
Han Kuan scratched his ears and cheeks, appearing as if he was really panicked as he said, “It was December 26, and it was late at night. There weren’t many cars on the street, so they would surely find my company because of the car, and then find ! Later, I finally ca up with an idea! You’ve already found what I did then, big detective!”
Han Kuan nodded proudly, then admitted, “I made a new devil suit that was Mr. Lang’s size. I also put the formula of ghost fire into the box. Then, I carried the box to Beiqian and broke into Mr. Lang’s basent, then put it in a corner.”
He smiled, looking satisfied with himself. “In this way, I made it look like he was the real murderer of the Devil Case! And, since Mr. Lang was dead, I knew that as long as the police found the box, they would believe that he was the real murderer!”
He then added, “I am not looking down on the police force’s ability, but I believed that if the police found this box, they would be very happy and just accept this as being the truth so that they could close the case once and for all. After I did that, I also went to Jiangxing to investigate the person who was hit by the truck.”
He paused for a mont, then said, “But... I dared not ask around about it because I was afraid that would bring attention to myself and cause
trouble. So, I didn’t find out much information about him in the end. I just assud that he was dead. When I ca ho again, I was still very nervous.”
Han Kuan said anxiously, “I’ve been keeping up with the progress of the Devil Case through various contacts and channels. When I heard that the Central Criminal Division had sent a special investigation group to investigate the case, I was terrified.”
Han Kuan said, “But again, sothing unexpected happened. Even the special investigation group did not find my car, my company, Lang Xiangyang or the box that I left behind. What confused
the most was that Jiangxing County was not included in the Devil Case’s investigation area that was announced by the police!”
Han Kuan shook his head and sighed. “Only then did I realize that maybe I was overthinking all of this! At that mont, I figured that the witness who saw my devil mask probably wasn’t the one in Jiangxing County. I felt very lucky that I had suppressed my impulses and didn’t end up killing Liu Yubao that night!”
He sighed once more. “I guess that Liu Yubao only knew that he’d been really drunk when he woke up, and he still doesn’t know that he was my target back then! Now, as long as the police don’t associate the car accident with the Devil Case, they will never look for my car, let alone my company...”
Han Kuan raised his head and asked Zhao Yu indifferently, “Officer Zhao, can you tell
now about that witness? Who on earth saw ?”
“A tramp who was picking up waste...” When Zhao Yu saw that Han Kuan had confessed, he sat back in his chair and said to him, “When you were committing one of the murders, the tramp saw you from a long distance away. Besides the devil mask, he said that there was a green ghost fire. That’s when the case na ‘Devil Case’ began to spread!”
Han Kuan nodded slightly, then asked with an evil smile, “Oh... Is that so? Detective Zhao, I have already admitted my cris now, so what else do you want to know? Just ask .”
“Han Kuan, we have interrogated you so many tis...” Zhao Yu said calmly. “You should be very clear about what we want to know.”
Han Kuan nodded and laughed. “Alright! I like talking to smart people like you! Let
start with sothing less important... I did not learn my ghost fire formula from my chemistry teacher, but from a magician! It can reduce the smoke and sound that are caused by phosphorus burning, and it can even make the fla look very weird...”
He added, “But... The masks, the clothes, and my plans were all my original works! At school, Laogua bullied , but I didn’t care. What made
angry was when he tore up my favorite manuscripts!”
He sighed. “At that ti, as I was just a young student, I didn’t know anything about psychology. When I knocked him out and took him into the abandoned building, waiting for him to wake up, I had only one thing in mind. If I couldn’t scare him to death, I was planning to jump down off of the building with him! Either way, my plan would be successful!”
He then added, “Sure enough... When he woke up, I just opened my arms, and he was so frightened that he ran away imdiately. He was in such a hurry and in such a state of shock that he fell out of the building. And... It wasn’t just him that reacted this way, but it’s been the sa every ti since then!”
Han Kuan laughed. “A man has unlimited potential. Before, I was worried about what I would do if soone was so frightened that they could not move, instead of running away. However, it turns out that, regardless of whether my victims were n or won, young or old, all of them reacted the sa way when they saw my devil suit. They ran like crazy!”
Han Kuan then said with great pride, “Of course, I am still making progress! Since I began, I have made the fire’s flas look even more frightening, and I also added a special sound, which sounds like a ghost’s yell. And, before killing the victims, I will now put so sand down on the victim’s position. In this way, when the police co to collect evidence, they will find no trace of any other person at the scene. Thus, the murder will be regarded as a suicide!”
Han Kuan raised his eyebrow and asked Zhao Yu, “Officer Zhao, is that enough information for you?”
Zhao Yu asked him in a drowsy voice, “Well... As you seem to be so familiar with criminal investigations, what do you say?”
Seeing Zhao Yu’s cold face, Han Kuan suddenly realized sothing. After a short ti of murmuring and hesitating, tears were pouring down his face again, and as he cried piteously, he said, “Officer Zhao, I was wrong. I did it... I killed her, too.”
