Cannon Fodder Is King [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 23

　　Zhang Fangxu died in the interrogation room of the police station.

The news was leaked by an insider, causing a stir nationwide.

[He was fine, and then suddenly he's gone?]

[Could it be… killing people to cover the secrets?]

[The government has gone too far. Is it necessary to kneel and lick Meng Zezhi like this?]

[The one upstairs, please open the door, it's time to check the water meter.]

[I heard Zhang Fangxu was the only child in his family. His father had uremia, and his mother is old. They don't have much financial strength. Now that Zhang Fangxu is dead, how will the elderly couple survive?]

[They worked hard for twenty-seven years, finally raising their son. He was a doctoral student at Capital University, even though math is a niche field. After graduation, he could easily earn at least a hundred thousand a year. The family's hardships seemed to be coming to an end, but now, they say he's gone!]

[The Capital Public Security Bureau must give the people an explanation.]

[Forget about the country's face, we just want the government to punish Meng Zezhi severely and give Zhang Fangxu justice!]

[Yes, Zhang Fangxu's death must be explained!]

…

　　While the public was passionately discussing the matter, the party involved in the incident, the official Weibo account of the Capital Public Security Bureau posted two consecutive updates.

The first post had only one sentence: "Zhang Fangxu accuses Meng Zezhi of stealing his thesis."

Followed by a video.

The video wasn't long, just a little over six minutes.

"... You said your father was ill, with uremia, and you've already spent all the family savings... and the clothes you're wearing... must have cost a lot, right?"

"I... I was forced... and at that moment, someone surnamed Liu approached me... So, no one knew what he was researching during that time..."

"I... I..."

"He's dead!"

The video abruptly ended.

A long silence followed.

[Don't know why, I suddenly feel a burning sensation on my face...]

[I'm okay, my face doesn't hurt, but I suddenly feel like a monkey...]

[For the first time, I feel like I'm incredibly stupid...]

[...Weakly saying, can I take back all the things I said before?]

[That's it, I'm going to find a place to face the wall.]

[The one above, take me with you.]

[Me too…]

　　【I don't believe it. How could such a coincidence happen? Just as Meng Zezhi proves the Goldbach Conjecture, Zhang Fangxu gets arrested. Then, hey, Meng Zezhi suddenly goes from being the perpetrator to the victim? I'm amazed by this whitewashing.】

【I agree, it's too much of a coincidence!】

【And did you notice that at 10:03:32 in the video, it seems to skip a section, and then Zhang Fangxu has an accident. So, the question is, what happened during that time?】

【It's terrifying to think about it. Anyway, now that Zhang Fangxu is dead, whether it's true or false, it's all up to the Capital Public Security Bureau to decide.】
