Cui Zimeng looked at him stunned, and said nervously, "I've heard of it." ”

"Six years ago, in a small restaurant in the city, there was a poisoning case, three people were poisoned, and one person died. The restaurant proprietress was arrested immediately, and later heard that she had lost a lot of money before she settled down. Oh, by the way, that proprietress is the old woman we saw at that noodle shop today, and she has a daughter who has disappeared since the incident. ”

Cui Zimeng didn't speak, and panicked and tidied up a strand of hair hanging down from her ear. Lin Mu continued

"Actually, this matter has nothing to do with Mr. Yao's case, but we have been investigating for nearly a month, and Mr. Yao has collected a lot of information about this case, and it is very strange that Mr. Yao is not a local. Moreover, he is a director of a company. How could you be interested in this case that has been sealed in the dust for six years. ”

"I don't know. Cui Zimeng replied vaguely, "I said that he rarely mentioned to me about his affairs here." ”

"The purpose of his investigation should be for one person, and that person is you, Mrs. Yao. ”

"What does this have to do with me, maybe he has nothing to do, idle. ”

"No, because under our later investigation, we found out that your biological mother, Zhang Qiaoxiang, happened to be the proprietress of Sister Qiao's restaurant, but why did Mrs. Yao refuse to admit it just now?"

Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Cui Zimeng took a deep breath, "I admit it, she is my mother, so what, I just don't want to admit that I have a murderer mother." ”

Looking at Cui Zimeng, who was getting more and more excited the more he talked, Lin Mu opened his mouth and said, "I suspect that Mr. Yao's death is related to his investigation of this case, so as Zhang Qiaoxiang's daughter and Mrs. Yao Qixu, do you have any opinions?"

Cui Zimeng couldn't answer for a while, staring at the ground in a daze. After a long time, Lin Mu spoke again, "We found the person concerned, Zhang Qiaoxiang, according to this clue, and after explaining the situation, she told us a very shocking secret. ”

"What...... Secret?" Cui Zimeng's chest rose and fell violently, and her nervousness could be seen, she should have known that she would not meet that woman so coincidentally today.

"The poison back then was not Zhang Qiaoxiang, it was you Cui Zimeng. Lin Mu looked at her seriously, "Your mother took the blame for you, and the reason why you poisoned it was because those diners often came to the restaurant to eat and did something to you, but your mother didn't care, which made you feel very disgusted and disgusted, so you came up with the idea of poisoning." ”

"Shut up, you believe what that crazy woman said!" Cui Zimeng stumbled and almost fell, she propped up the dining table and gasped for breath.

"What's even more unexpected is that Yao Qixu came here and accidentally saw an old woman who looked very similar to you, and remembered the life story of your mother who ran away, so he investigated. He also gave your phone number to Zhang Qiaoxiang in order to get you in touch.

But you are very afraid, you feel that this matter cannot be exposed, this is a scar in your heart, it is your unbearable past. So you found a time to rush over, and neither of you took the initiative to mention it, which made you even more uneasy and strengthened your determination to poison. ”

Cui Zimeng sneered, "Do you have any evidence?"

"The proof is here. Lin Mu pointed in the direction of the kitchen, "At first, we thought that the poison was in the coffee, but at that time, your husband was the only one, who would have given it to him?

How did the murderer do it, we checked the kettle, we checked the coffee machine, even the water purifier, everything in the refrigerator we checked, and found nothing. ”

Cui Zimeng clenched her teeth and listened to Lin Mu continue, "As a result, we found that it was in the filter paper. The killer was very clever, and she put the poison on filter paper that was not easy to find. Presumably, you know enough about Mr. Yao's lifestyle and can estimate how long Mr. Yao will use toxic filter paper. She just needs to wait quietly for the right time, and the only one who has that time is you. Mrs. Yao. ”

"Hmph, his secretary also has a chance, right?"

"The murderer has everything counted. It's a little miscalculated, and you have to prepare toxic filter paper. It took a lot of work, and it was obviously impossible to make it on the spot, so she chose to prepare first. Then bring the paper over. ”

"Coincidentally, the paper I brought over had only the fingerprints of you and Mr. Yao, and the only one who could easily access Mr. Yao's kitchen and put the filter paper as a matter of course. It's only you, Mrs. Yao. ”

"Okay, then let me ask you, since I knew about it a month ago, why didn't I poison him as soon as possible, but wait until now?" Cui Zimeng sneered, "Give me a reason." ”

"You shouldn't have thought of it either. ”

"What?" Cui Zimeng, who had originally put his hand on his chest, was out of proportion, his hands hung down, and his fists were clenched.

"According to Mr. Yao's coffee drinking habits, he should have been poisoned a week after you left, but what you didn't expect was that he was not at home for such a long time. ”

Cui Zimeng held her breath, indeed, according to the time, Yao Qixu should have died a long time ago, although she was restless at home, but thinking that Yao Qixu did not make any action for the time being, she relaxed a little, and she also regretted it halfway, but she also dispelled the idea under the fear of the matter being exposed.

Every day she spent in a tangle, until she received Yao Qixu's death notice.

"So ......"

"Your husband finds out about your past, but he is not prepared to expose you, but to learn as much as he can about you. We found out that Yao Qixu has been to your former hometown, and has quietly contacted some of your former friends, and in this month, he is also ready to quit his job here and go back to accompany you. ”

"No...... No way. How could it be...... He won't ......" Cui Zimeng waved her hands in disbelief.

"I think he must have felt sorry for you. I feel sorry that you have been bullied, I feel sorry that your mother did not protect you, and I feel sorry that I don't know you well enough now. ”

Cui Zimeng suddenly covered her chest and wailed, she sat down on the ground, stretched out her hand to touch Yao Qixu's silhouette on the ground.

"I still have evidence, do you want me to list it?" It seems that there is no need, Lin Mu thought to himself, Cui Zimeng should regret it.

Sure enough, Cui Zimeng shook her head violently, "No, no......"

"Let's go, Cui Zimeng. Lin Mu stretched out his hand to pull her, she waved her hand, and she struggled to get up.

In the police station, Cui Zimeng touched the ring on his hand, and then took it off, "I don't deserve it." ”

Lin Mu glanced at the ring and didn't speak, Cui Zimeng smiled bitterly and said, "I'm so stupid, so stupid." ”

"Why don't you communicate with your husband properly?" Lin Mu took out a small notebook, "This was found in his room, and he recorded a lot of things on it, including what he inquired about. ”

Cui Zimeng didn't take the book, but didn't look over and stare at the corner where he didn't know. Lin Mu reluctantly put the notebook in front of her, "Let's take a look." ”

"No need. ”

"Your mother said ......"

"It doesn't matter, the damage that has been done, nothing can be done to make up for it, and from that time on, I put a lock on my heart, locked the secret, and I don't want anyone to see it. ”

"It's because you refused to open the lock that you did the most undesirable thing. ”

"How can it be so easy?" Cui Zimeng said softly, "But it would be nice to open it earlier, so that I wouldn't be so scared, so entangled, and so reluctant to come here with him." ”

"You will be punished as you deserve," Lin Mu thought for a moment and added, "but I don't think Yao Qixu will blame you either." ”

"Why did you go around in such a big circle. Don't you arrest me directly?" Cui Zimeng was very puzzled by Lin Mu's actions.

"There are some things that have to go back to the beginning in order to unravel the truth. Lin Mu pointed to his heart, "Otherwise, it would be difficult to recognize yourself." ”

"Zhang Qiaoxiang......" Cui Zimeng said awkwardly, "She...... Didn't you talk to her......? Why?"

She said that she was cowardly once at that time, and that she would only be better off by going to jail for you, and that she was telling the truth now that I told her a story. ”

Lin Mu paused, "A puppet story." ”

Cui Zimeng was confused, her heart was empty now, as if she couldn't grasp anything, it was too late.

"If ......" Cui Zimeng choked the words in her throat, how can there be so many ifs in life.

For any person, the only one who can lock himself is himself, and the only one who can untie himself is himself.

The past we have experienced may also have hidden secrets, and sometimes, we have no choice but to choose to bury them forever.

The lock on my heart can't be easily opened, and the longer I go, the less courage I have.

However, the secret will eventually be discovered, and it is better to face it and solve it.

Only by accepting the consequences of it can we harvest the truest life.
