Fang Jianbai found out about Pei Rong through a serial murder case.
The criminal's repeated crimes had left the whole city in a state of panic.
The case had reached a dead end, until someone sent the police a message: The killer you're looking for is at my house. I've tied him up.
Before that email, the police had received all kinds of prank messages, so no one took it seriously.
Then, half an hour later, another email arrived, laying out every detail of the crimes. Attached was a photo of a man bound hand and foot.
It ended with a line: Don't forget to bring my tip money when you come.
Later, Fang Jianbai asked Pei Rong, “Why did you help?”
Pei Rong said, “I lost my job. I have no salary, and I'm hungry.”
Fang Jianbai didn't understand. “With your brains, how could you lose your job?”
Pei Rong said, “I overslept. I was three days late.”
Fang Jianbai didn't believe him. “It was only three days.”
Pei Rong was silent for a moment, then said, “I only worked there for three days.”
Later, Fang Jianbai discovered that, apart from the truth about the cases, Pei Rong never told him a single honest thing about himself.
Pei Rong came from the darkness and reached for the sunlight, trying to hold on to that glimmer.
