CHAPTER 189: CHAPTER 189: DEATH BEYOND REDEMPTION (PART 3)

Captain Ma and Old Yang looked at the deceased’s phone. When they saw the various videos of cats, dogs, and other small animals being abused, both of them had disgusted expressions on their faces.

"Captain, we found this in the deceased’s house." Ning Xuan took out a box. When the box was opened, it contained a set of human anatomy diagrams and various surgical tools.

When Captain Ma saw the items in the box, his expression became grave, "It seems this person..."

Old Yang looked serious, "Abusing animals now, and with more courage, they might dissect and abuse humans in the future!"

Hearing Old Yang’s words, Captain Ma didn’t speak, but he wholeheartedly agreed with him.

From the countless videos on the phone, it was clear that this person had severe psychological issues and a strong criminal intent.

To put it bluntly, it’s probably for the best that this person is dead, sparing more animals from abuse and preventing potential harm to society.

Even though this person hasn’t committed any human crimes yet, who knows what could happen in the future.

There are cases like this in criminal psychology.

Human desires are endless, and evil knows no bounds.

Once the conditions to commit evil are met, such a person would undoubtedly commit crimes without hesitation.

"Holy shit!!!"

Suddenly, someone cursed out loud.

Captain Ma and Old Yang walked over.

They saw in the study that opening a cabinet revealed not books, but the skins of various cats, dogs, hamsters, birds, and even rabbits — nearly a hundred of them in different sizes!

Below each animal skin was a number.

Someone pointed to the number and asked what it was, Captain Ma glanced around the room and focused his gaze on the computer.

However, there was nothing on the computer.

They had no choice but to take photos as evidence and investigate slowly later.

Police from the tech department worked overnight to unlock Zhang Zhe’s three phones and check the information inside.

After the police from the tech department finished their examination, they presented the copied content to Captain Ma and his team with an uncomfortable expression.

It turned out that the numbers below those animal skins were Zhang Zhe’s account numbers for posting animal abuse videos on another platform.

Starting five years ago, Zhang Zhe began recording videos of animal abuse and publishing them on a platform.

Once released, the videos were watched by countless people. Some people angrily scolded Zhang Zhe for being inhumane, while others enjoyed watching such videos.

In the initial videos, Zhang Zhe’s actions weren’t as violent, but as time went on, various torture tools and methods were used...

Every police officer who watched those videos experienced severe physical discomfort.

Everyone who saw these videos couldn’t help but curse, "Damn it!"

Zhang Zhe probably never expected that after killing so many animals, he would end up being killed by those very cats and dogs.

Captain Ma thought of the scene he had witnessed, and he sighed. Those cats and dogs must have hated Zhang Zhe to the core; otherwise, they wouldn’t have devoured him so thoroughly...

When Lin Xiaoyan woke up from a nap, she saw the overwhelming news online about the "cat and dog internet celebrity being eaten by their own pets."

Lin Xiaoyan clicked into the news and saw videos someone had shot of ambulances, fire trucks, and police cars the night before...

Soon after, an official confirmed that the news was true, accompanied by a public announcement.

"Zhang, male..., became an internet celebrity by filming his daily interactions with cats and dogs...

Upon receiving a report from a citizen, it was discovered that the man had been killed by his own pets at home.

During the search of his residence, a large number of animal skins and videos of the deceased abusing animals were found...

[Image][Image]..."

This official message undoubtedly smashed heavy on the hearts of the public.

And it sparked instant heated discussions.

"My God, can I say that I even followed this person?!!"

"I just checked, and the account has been permanently banned. It really was him!!!"

"I can’t imagine this person actually abused so many small animals. What a beast!"

"Wuwu... seeing those poor furry kids, I’m holding my own cat and crying, can’t imagine what kind of abuse those furry kids went through in their lives..."

"Can I say I suspected this person was off from the start? Didn’t you notice that in every video, those cats and dogs were very resistant to him?"

"I noticed too. I spoke up about it at the time, but I got scolded."

"So, the things on the internet are real and fake, fake and real, all about building personas. Don’t believe it!"

"I just want to know, will this kind of animal abuser be sentenced?!!"

"Didn’t you understand upstairs? That person is already dead, killed by his own pets!"

...

The incident not only ignited heated discussions online but also attracted the attention of the Animal Protection Association.

For a time, everyone became responsible for protecting animals, while animal abusers were condemned.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at Zhang Zhe’s fate, and she felt nothing.

If at the very beginning she had "seen" Zhang Zhe being killed by those pets and proactively reported it to the police, it would have been her basic humanity.

But now, after seeing Zhang Zhe had killed so many animals, even though those animals weren’t human, she felt that his death was what he deserved.

This may be what Xuan Shiwu and her friends referred to as karma.

That day, Lin Xiaoyan went out shopping with her sister-in-law. She spent the whole time helping her sister-in-law buy clothes, skincare products, and even bought a lot of small clothes for her unborn nephew (or niece).

Fan Lalan felt uneasy as her sister-in-law went to pay.

She hadn’t expected her sister-in-law to buy her so many things today and even rush to pay.

After Lin Xiaoyan finished paying, she came over with a bag of baby clothes, still glancing at other clothing in the store.

"Sister-in-law, children’s clothes are just so cute, so tiny. Look at these shoes, they’re so small!" Lin Xiaoyan picked up a pair of baby shoes and held them in her palm, genuinely only the size of her hand.

Lin Xiaoyan gently set the shoes down, walked up to her sister-in-law, and linked arms with her, "Let’s go, let’s check out some other stores."

Fan Lalan felt the goodwill from her sister-in-law, and it weighed on her mind. She had been angry over her sister-in-law’s room, but she truly felt she was the one in the wrong!

With a complicated look at Lin Xiaoyan, Fan Lalan watched as Lin Xiaoyan counted the bags, making sure everything was accounted for, and then sighed in relief.

Looking up, she met her sister-in-law’s gaze, Lin Xiaoyan asked confusedly, "What’s the matter? Are you tired?"

Lin Xiaoyan quickly looked around, "Let’s go, there’s a bench over there. Let’s sit and rest for a while."

Fan Lalan reached out and took hold of Lin Xiaoyan’s hand, "I’m not tired, Yanyan, before I... I’m sorry."

Lin Xiaoyan paused at her sister-in-law’s "I’m sorry," then laughed, "Sister-in-law, no need to apologize. I understand."

Actually, if she thought about it from another perspective, if she had gotten married and was living with her in-laws and sister-in-law in a hundred square meter house, with everything being inconvenient, she might have felt unbalanced or even angry too.
