Chapter 50: Flying
A mother who cried heartbreakingly, an elderly man who was helpless next to her, and a little girl who was hiding next to her with tears stained. This scene is naturally inevitably a big battle to shirk responsibility.
"Is it that you, an old woman, can't get used to seeing my son as a fool, so you pushed him down!" the woman pointed to the old man sitting next to her, furious.
The old man saw the woman pointing to his nose, and although he was angry, he tried his best to suppress his emotions: "Why do you think so? No matter how stupid you are, it's my grandson!"
"Uh......h Officer, you have to make decisions for my son!" the woman did not doubt him, and knelt in front of Lin Mu with a thud, shaking his trouser legs.
"Mrs. Liao, you get up first, and when we find out, we will naturally give you an explanation. Seeing this scene, Lin Mu had a headache, and it was understandable that he was sad about the loss of his son, but as soon as he came up, he pointed out that his family was the murderer, most of which was caused by his usual resentment.
Seeing this, the little girl next to her hurriedly came over and helped the woman up, "Mom, don't be sad, let the police uncle investigate the case well." ”
Lin Mu looked at the little girl with a hint of approval, and listened to the witnesses downstairs say that when the deceased was about to fall down the building, the little girl rushed over to catch her brother as soon as possible.
After a few words of comfort to the family, Lin Mu turned downstairs to understand the situation. The onlookers downstairs have not dispersed. Some also took out their mobile phones and posted on Moments.
Lin Mu stepped forward and asked, "Did you all see what happened at that time?" Perhaps it was the four words that made the onlookers a little excited, and they actively told the details of the time.
"yes, I was walking through here, and I heard someone say, 'Oh, what's that kid doing,' and I looked up and saw a little boy lying by the window, about to jump off. The witness gestured as he spoke. Lin Mu looked up with his movements and asked
"Was there anyone behind the kid?"
"I didn't see it clearly. The witness added, "But I guess the child accidentally fell off." ”
The body of the deceased was returned to the police station. Because his mother insisted that it was her mother-in-law who pushed her son down, after all, she and the deceased were the only two people at home at that time.
When they returned to the deceased's house again, everyone was much calmer, but they didn't speak. watched Liang Xin collect evidence.
Liang Xin walked over to the old woman and asked, "You said you were cooking at the time, right?"
"Well, I'm kneading the dough and preparing to make dumplings, who knows...... You see, the noodles are still in my hands and I haven't had time to wash them. The old woman spread out her hands, and she did have dried flour in her hands.
"Did you open the window?"
"No, I've been keeping it closed, I guess the kid opened it himself, let them install a protective fence earlier, don't listen. ”
After hearing this, the woman turned her head and glared at the old woman fiercely, "That kid, you see, she just can't get used to my son." ”
"Don't talk nonsense," the old lady explained anxiously, "I asked Liao Dan to close the door before going out, who knew that he ran out by himself." ”
"And what do you do?"
Liang Xin didn't interject, and let the two of them start arguing, she came over to Lin Mu and said, "If what the old lady said is true, then this window was indeed opened by the deceased himself." And I found some oil stains on the window," Liang Xin pointed to the small stool by the window and said, "There is also a stool on that stool, which should be the spicy strip oil that the deceased ate, I guess he moved the bench himself, stepped on it and accidentally fell down." ”
Lin Mu nodded, he thought so in his heart, but the deceased's mother bit the old lady and didn't let go, not to say that she was the murderer.
"Drink some water, Mommy Grandma. The little girl's voice pulled Lin Mu's thoughts back, but the little girl's mother and grandmother didn't buy the concern at all.
"You're so happy that your brother is dead, you can't pretend to be a little bit more?" said the little girl's grandmother in a weird way, turning her head away and rolling her eyes. Actually, she herself breathed a sigh of relief, taking care of that silly boy, she really took care of enough.
"Go away, don't bother me now. The little girl's mother also turned away, angry with herself.
Seeing this, the little girl put down the glass and went into her room.
At this moment, Lin Mu received a call from Zhen Zheng, "Hey, Lin Mu, after my careful analysis, the deceased jumped off by himself." ”
"Tell me about it. Lin Mu put down his phone and turned on the speakerphone in front of the old lady and the deceased's mother.
"Generally speaking, it should be scary to be pushed down, so the facial expression will be very distorted, the pupils will become larger, and the posture of falling down will also cause a kind of ground support posture due to fear. Do you remember what the posture of the deceased was like?"
"It's in a big font. ”
"That's right, and the deceased's facial expression is not the slightest nervous, I guess he imitates some cartoon, children are always a little confused about reality. ”
After listening to Zhen Zheng and Liang Xin's analysis, the deceased's mother temporarily accepted that the child accidentally fell downstairs by herself. But she immediately pointed the finger at her daughter.
"Liao Dan, you come out for me!"
The little girl in the room asked, looking at her mother a little nervously.
"Say, what do you usually show your brother? Why does he imitate it!" Liao Dan's mother walked over quickly and twisted the little girl's arm, "Tell me, you killed your brother!"
"I didn't! No!" Liao Dan was in pain, crying and begging for mercy, "Let me go, Mom, it's not me!"
"Don't do this to children. Lin Mu walked over and pulled his mother away, "When your son was about to fall from the building, your daughter desperately wanted to catch him." ”
Perhaps considering the presence of the police, Liao Dan's mother no longer went crazy, but collapsed on the sofa and cried silently.
Things are finally figured out, this is a tragedy of not taking a good look at the child.
Among the people who lingered downstairs for a long time, Lin Mu also learned about the general situation of this family.
The deceased was five years old and had not been able to go to kindergarten due to some mental problems. There is only one sister. The father worked in the field, the mother worked as a cashier in the nearby supermarket, and the grandmother was the only one in the family with the two siblings.
But because of his younger brother, Liao Dan always goes home after school to help his grandmother take care of his younger brother, and his grandmother is too old, so most of them are Liao Dan playing with his younger brother.
Lin Mu attributed the incident to his grandmother's carelessness and let his grandson accidentally fall from the building.
A few weeks later, Lin Mu passed by the scene again and saw Liao Dan coming home from school. When Liao Dan saw Lin Mu, he said hello very happily.
Lin Mu found that Liao Dan had changed a lot from before, put on a new skirt and a new schoolbag.
"Your bag looks so good. Lin Mu praised Liao Dan's schoolbag, and it seemed that the family had come out of their grief.
"Thank you, uncle, for the compliment. Liao Dan smiled, his eyes narrowed into a slit.
"Is your mom and grandma okay?"
Although they were still sad occasionally, the two of them stopped arguing, and grandma became more obedient to her mother, and her mother became more gentle. Without the stupid son, the family secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and they didn't have to worry about the future of the stupid son.
"Huh?" Listening to Liao Dan's words, Lin Mu always felt weird.
"Mom, why didn't you beat me anymore?" Liao Dan still smiled sweetly, "In the past, she always scolded me because of her brother, but now she can't, buy me new clothes and a new schoolbag." ”
Liao Dan happily spun around, but Lin Mu's heart was furious. But after thinking about it, Liao Dan is only a ten-year-old child, and he may not particularly understand that he has lost his younger brother forever.
He said a few words, then answered the phone and left.
"Brother, look. Liao Dan tossed the rag doll, making his younger brother giggle.
The younger brother clapped his hands and stumbled out a few words: "Sister...... Fly, ahhhhh ”
Liao Dan touched his brother's head and threw the rag doll out again, and after the rag doll turned around in the air a few times, Liao Dan caught the rag doll accurately.
"Ah, sister, it's amazing. The younger brother was drooling with his mouth open, and he forgot to clap his hands.
This fool, Liao Dan thought to himself, he didn't know how many times he had played, and he laughed happily. She was about to put down the doll, but her brother was up again.
"Fly, you......... Fly, ahhhhhhhhh
"No, I'm going to do my homework. "No, no, Liao Dan is a little impatient, every time he doesn't play, he cries, and his mother and grandmother will scold him.
"Wow...... Woo wow...... "Sure enough, my brother started crying again, and my grandmother heard her voice shouting in the living room, "Liao Dan!" ”
Liao Dan was a little unconvinced and said, "You have the ability, you come!"
"You girl, I'm mopping the floor, I'm tired all day long, I can't get it well! If you do this again, I'll sue your mother!" Listening to her grandmother's broken thoughts, she really didn't want to be beaten by her mother, Liao Dan had to soften, "Okay, okay, I'll coax him." ”
Liao Dan dropped the notebook, picked up the rag doll and began to throw it. When the younger brother saw the rag doll flying, he immediately stopped crying and clapped his hands happily.
She watched as her brother suddenly came up with an idea, if he was gone...... She was frightened by the terrible thought, but she remembered the attitude of her grandmother and mother. "If you're gone......" Liao Dan muttered to himself.
"Brother, the rag doll is flying, do you want to fly?" Liao Dan put down the rag doll and held his younger brother in his arms.
When the younger brother heard that he was flying, he was so excited that he twisted in Liao Dan's arms, "Fly, fly!"
"That sister will take you to fly, but you can't let grandma and mom know, otherwise...... Otherwise, you won't be able to fly!" Liao Dan was sure that his younger brother would definitely listen to him, and seeing his younger brother nodding like garlic, Liao Dan was a little relieved.
She leaned into her brother's ear and said, "Then, while grandma is not paying attention, go up to the window and wait for me, and I will pretend to go down to buy something." You see me coming back from somewhere else, and you jump down. Sister will catch you. ”
Liao Dan was afraid that his brother would not be willing, so he took out the rag doll and said to his brother, "I can catch it every time, right?"
The younger brother nodded seriously with wide eyes, "Sister...... Pick up, fly!"
After getting his younger brother, Liao Dan walked out of the door of the room and said to his grandmother, "I'll go down to buy ice cream, and my brother is clamoring to eat." ”
"Go ahead, I'm going to knead the dough and make lunch. It's been a busy day, and so is your mother...... You shut your brother in his room. Grandma's voice came from the kitchen, and as long as it was her brother's food, she would definitely allow it.
Liao Dan turned his head and beckoned to his younger brother behind the door, pointed to the balcony and said, "Go there and wait for me." The younger brother happily put down the spicy strips and walked over quietly like Liao Dan.
She turned her head and found that her grandmother was still concentrating on kneading the dough, and whispered to her younger brother, "Don't speak, be gentle, otherwise grandma will come out." You can't fly. ”
The younger brother was afraid that he would not be able to fly, so he closed his mouth tightly, Liao Dan looked at his younger brother's innocent appearance, and felt a little unbearable, she turned her heart sideways and walked out.
When she went to buy ice cream, she was very worried, if her brother didn't do it, if her grandmother found out, she might be beaten badly. When she passed downstairs, she nervously looked up and found that her brother was indeed by the window.
When the younger brother saw his sister's figure, he opened his arms and jumped forward. The moment she watched her brother jump down, Liao Dan regretted it a little, so she dropped the bag and wanted to go over to catch her brother.
But it's too late, even if there are so many people around, they are just watching the excitement and sighing. Grandma poked her head out when she heard the voice, and was half frightened, "My grandson!"
Looking at the large pool of blood, Liao Dan was half sad and half relieved. The younger brother was brought by himself, and sadness was inevitable. Peace of mind because he will finally not be beaten and scolded because of him.
Liao Dan cried, which seemed to others to be extremely sad, but she realized in her heart that it was a relief to finally get rid of.
Liao Dan looked at Lin Mu's back in the distance, and looked up at the protective fence installed on his windowsill. Smirked.
