Chapter 112 "The Long Night" (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!)
How did Jiang Yang die?
This is the biggest mystery of "The Long Night".
The first and middle parts of the novel are almost all about the efforts made by the police to solve the case.
As the investigation deepens, the scene changes and suddenly comes to seven years ago.
The story of seven years ago is narrated.
Seven years ago, Jiang Yang was the youngest prosecutor in Pingkang County. He was full of vigor and even talked about marriage with his girlfriend. It was only a matter of time for him to rise to prominence.
But it was a case that changed Jiang Yang's life.
This case is the Hou Guiping case.
Hou Guiping is Jiang Yang's good friend and also a young teacher who teaches in rural areas. But just before that, he drowned strangely.
The cause of death reported by the police was insulting women and committing suicide out of fear of crime!
On one side is a bright future, on the other side is the unjust death of a good friend and the justice in his heart.
At this time, Jiang Yang was full of righteousness and vowed to wipe out all the darkness. Naturally, he did not believe that his good friend would fall to this point.
In order to find out the truth, Jiang Yang resolutely joined the case with the support of his girlfriend Wu Aike.
But he never thought that this would be such a lonely road.
…
[One novel with three volumes, three different case styles and narrative methods. ]
[This old thief is too good. ]
[Case within a case! Is it so exciting? ]
[The old thief's book is as wonderful as ever! To be honest, I never read suspense novels before, I thought it was boring, but I was slapped in the face. ]
Whether it is the old fan of the old thief or the new fan of the book.
At this moment, a large number of people gathered together and excitedly discussed the new clues that appeared every day.
Perhaps it was because of the subject matter of the suspense novel, or perhaps it was because there were no characters to be killed in the third case.
Readers completely let go of their psychological defenses and invested in Jiang Yang's story.
Knife is definitely the old thief's reserved program, there is no need to say more.
But readers have long been like dead pigs that are not afraid of boiling water, and they are not surprised.
If it were a fairy tale, they would still shudder.
Suspense?
Can this break their defense?
Ridiculous!
…
Hou Guiping's death was strange.
Jiang Yang learned from the forensic doctor that Hou Guiping did not drown at all.
But he was convicted in the end. You can imagine what kind of conspiracy is behind it.
Jiang Yang tried for a long time but still failed to overturn the case due to insufficient evidence. Even so, Jiang Yang continued to visit and collect clues.
Two lines of progress.
Seven years later, Yan Liang was also investigating the cause of Jiang Yang's death.
The plot progressed layer by layer, and suspense was everywhere.
Readers seemed to have returned to the starting point.
"How did Jiang Yang die?"
"Was he killed by evil forces?"
"Zhang Chao wanted to use Jiang Yang's death to stir up public opinion and let the public and the police re-involve in this case?"
Readers' speculations were quite logical, and this was also the most common point of view in the novel forum.
…
The plot of "The Long Night" gradually deepened.
It was at this time that this novel, which did not belong to the "online literature sequence", created a record in the online literature world.
One million average subscriptions!
"Fuck!"
"Of these one million average subscriptions, at least more than 500,000 are not online literature readers! What's the difference between this and selling physical books!"
In the Starry Sky editorial department, Zhao Li cursed.
After the second volume "Bad Kids" was completed, more physical book suspense authors recommended "The Long Night"!
Readers and Starry Sky are very clear that physical book suspense authors usually have high eyes and will not recommend books even if they are paid!
But this time, there is only one reason for recommending "The Long Night", "The Long Night" is wonderful!
"Editor-in-Chief Zhao, there is no way, "The Long Night" is too wonderful."
"Don't I know it's wonderful?"
"Do you think the boss will listen to my explanation?"
"Now the number of daily active readers of Starry Sky is only half of that of Xianque. Do you know what the concept is?"
Zhao Li said angrily.
Online writing is different from physical books. During the serialization period of online writing, there is a long time for word of mouth to ferment.
Moreover, in today's network environment, readers who follow the trend are the most abundant.
Once a book becomes popular, no matter whether it is good or not, readers will go to read it in person, even if they are not very interested in suspense, otherwise they will be out of date, right?
In this way, there will be more readers of "The Long Night".
With the appeal of the old thief's writing, readers will stay in minutes!
In addition to cursing, what else can Xingkong do? He has tried everything he should try!
"The only way now is to put the blame on Mei Shicai."
Zhao Li thought to himself.
...
["Zhu Wei, you have seriously violated the law. Now we will formally investigate you and detain you. Do you have any objection?"]
[Zhu Wei looked at him incredulously: "You——"]
[Jiang Yang took a deep breath, walked out of the door, and looked up at the sky. The night was still dark. This night was surprisingly long. 】
Jiang Yang did not expect that the case of Hou Guiping could involve so many people.
The readers also did not expect that the case of Hou Guiping could force Jiang Yang to such a point!
Since he embarked on this road to overturn the case, Jiang Yang has met many "noble people", including Chen Mingzhang, a forensic doctor who provided clues, and Zhu Wei, a former criminal police captain who also hated evil!
Zhu Wei and Jiang Yang are just like the same justice.
Zhu Wei was once a policeman with a promising future like Jiang Yang, and he was known as "Pingkang Baixue". However, because Zhu Wei's character was too straightforward and he could not tolerate any sand in his eyes, he always suffered losses!
Only Lin Qiu outside the screen knew clearly.
Jiang Yang, Zhu Wei, and Chen Mingzhang were the three who initially decided to find out the truth about Hou Guiping's death.
Unfortunately, in the end, they all paid a price that should not belong to them.
Chen Mingzhang was less involved, so it was still okay.
Zhu Wei pursued his life and was finally sentenced to prison.
But Jiang Yang lost his youth, marriage, career, and reputation.
Until the end, he brought the truth to the public by suicide.
…
"A heartbreaking story..."
"It's just the beginning now."
Lin Qiu sighed slightly when he saw the subsequent chapters to be released on the computer screen.
At this moment, Lin Qiu did not gloat over the misfortune as he did when he released the "Zhu Xian" and "Xianjian" knives before.
Because the story of the immortal hero is ultimately fake, Lin Qiu would think of himself when he saw the readers' collapse and defense.
But "The Long Night" is different. It is precisely because Jiang Yang's story is so real that there are so many readers and so many viewers in the past life who are heartbroken and cry for it.
Lin Qiu just sighed that the world is sometimes so unfair.
Good people don't live long, and bad people live for a thousand years.
The long night is hard to see.
"I hope that no matter which world it is."
"It can be better."
