Chapter 86: A Case Within a Case

The pillar rests against the trunk of the tree. I fell asleep in the woods in a daze. He had a dream. I dreamed that my mother was holding him. Tell him a story. He seemed to be only five or six years old. Giggles were heard endlessly.

He was woken up by his own laughter. Open your eyes. The sun has risen. Sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves. Dots fell on him. He wrapped his clothes tightly. Moved his limbs, which were frozen and stiffened. He slowly stood up. Limped out of the woods.

The doors of the psychiatric hospital are open. He took advantage of the old man who was guarding the door to not pay attention. Sneak in quietly.

He ran to the ward in one go. Push open the door. Shouted, "Mom." I've come to see you. ”

Disturbed. A burly man rushed at him with baring teeth and claws. A handful grabbed him by the neck. Instantly. He felt tightness in his chest and shortness of breath. Frightened to look at the man's hideous face. Can't shout a word for help.

The man pinched tighter and tighter. The pillar rolled his eyes. I felt like I was about to be strangled.

In a pinch. A man appeared just in time. He's quick. Three or two blows knocked the mad man unconscious. The pillar escaped from his loose hand. Inhale and exhale in large gulps.

The man dragged a dead dog like a dead dog. Drag the madman to the bedside. Easily threw him on the bed.

He clapped his hands. Come over. "Kid." What are you doing here early in the morning? He's you. ”

The pillar shook his head with apprehension. "I don't know him." I'm here to find my mother. ”

"Find Mom. Your mom is here too. The man was slightly surprised.

"My mom used to live in this room. But how is he living here today? The pillar pointed to the man on the bed. Puzzled.

"What's your mother's name? The man asked.

"Uncle. My mother's name is Li Juan. The pillar looked at him with wide eyes.

"Li Juan. The man's heart shook.

"Uncle. You know my mom. Then you must know where she is. The pillar was overjoyed. Look at him earnestly.

"Where is your home? Uncle will send you back. The man's heart rejoiced.

The man pulled the pillar and walked out. The pillar broke free of his grasp. said, "I'm not leaving. I haven't found my mom yet. ”

"Kids. Obedient. I'll help you find your mother. Wait until you find her. I'll definitely take you to see her. The man stroked the head of the pillar. comforted.

"Really. Uncle. But I don't want to go back. It's not my home. The pillar looked at him pitifully.

"Why. They treat you badly. The man excitedly grabbed the pillar's shoulders. Asked eagerly.

The pillar was bewildered by his expression. I didn't know how to answer. Moment. He shook his head. Silently bowed his head.

"Let's go. Uncle will take you to dinner first. The man heard a rumbling sound coming from the pillar's belly. I guess he must have not eaten breakfast yet.

Hear him say that. Only then did the pillar feel hungry. The body is also getting colder and colder. He couldn't help but swallow. The body also shuddered. The man took off his coat and draped it over him. He suddenly felt a lot warmer.

Walk into the breakfast shop. The man ordered a lot of delicious food. These things. The pillars hadn't eaten for a long time. There is only a distant, vague smell that remains in the memory.

He gobbled it up. I swallowed a cage of siu mai in one go. The mouth is bulging. Hold up your little face to a round and bulging face. He chewed on his food. While looking up at the man. The eyes are full of gratitude.

The man looked at him. Gratifying. Blurt out. shouted: "Pillars." Eat more. ”

"Ahh How do you know my name is Pillar. "Food in the mouth of the pillar. His surprise erupted. Sprayed all over the table. The face of the man sitting across from him. There is also filth.

He pulled out a tissue and wiped his face. While laughing, he said, "I guess." ”

"Wow. Uncle is amazing. The pillar's gaze was full of adoration. Smile brightly.

"Eat fast. It's time to cool down in a moment. ”

"Hey. The pillar began to feast again. The man looked at him lovingly.

"Uncle. What is your name. The pillar wiped his mouth. While asking.

The man looked around. Answer: "You'll know later." ”

Walk out of the breakfast shop. The pillar was in trouble again. Two bites of a cherry. Grinding and chattering followed behind the man.

Get out of the way. The man noticed that the pillar was not keeping up. Turning to greet him: "Pillar." Hurry up. ”

"I... I.. Don't want to go home. Zhu Zi Nuo said.

"Good. Not going home. So where do you want to go. The man smiled at him.

The pillar thinks the man's smile is so cool. He is handsome and dashing. It's like a chivalrous man in the martial arts he's read.

"I'm going to seclusion. Martial arts. The pillar replied in a loud voice.

"Good. I took the pillar to live in seclusion and practice martial arts. The man shouted too.

Two people laughed and ran down the road. The pillar was very happy. From now on. He didn't have to go back to Uncle Ironegg's house. Facing the woman he hated.

……

Iron Egg wandered the streets for the night. His spirit was on the verge of a breakdown.

I returned home in a trance. Looks like. The people in the family also didn't close their eyes all night. As soon as he entered. Three pairs of expectant eyes. Qi brushed and looked at him. Waiting for his answer. Saw him enter the house alone. The eyes were all dim again.

He collapsed on the couch exhausted. I don't have the strength to say a word. I didn't have the heart to speak. In a short period of time. Three people have disappeared in the family one after another. It's simply inhuman torture.

Xie Yuhan brought hot water. Wipe his face and hands for him. He couldn't help but grab her hand. Stick tightly to your face. When the warmth of her palm was transmitted to his heart. He couldn't help but cry bitterly. The cry was earth-shattering. Echoing in the house. Others wept as well.

Xie Yuhan hugged him tightly in his arms. The heart is like a knife. Flood of tears.

Joys and sorrows are impermanent. This. Maybe it's life.

Iron Daddy thumped his chest. Regret it. If you can't find the pillar. He will be a sinner forever.

Tie Dan Niang watched the two most important and beloved men in her life in pain. Her heart was miserable. Except for accompanying tears. You can't find a better way to be relieved.

The whole house was filled with grief. Gradually, it spreads and spreads. Everywhere.

……

Accompanied by Xie Yuhan. Tie Dan walked into the police station again to report the case.

Face Liu Xi. He no longer had the face to say that someone in his house was missing again.

Liu Xi saw this frequent visitor to the institute in recent days. I couldn't help but be stunned. The devil knows what's going on in his house. She thought to herself: This man is really strange. Every time we come together. It's all different people.

She glanced at Xie Yuhan, who had a bulging abdomen. His gaze rested on the dejected Iron Egg. "Is there something wrong?" he asked. ”

"Comrade. We're here to report the crime. Our children were lost. Xie Yuhan took over the conversation. Say.

"It's the little girl who reported the crime yesterday. Yang Xiaonuan. ”

"No. This time it's a teenage boy. His name is Li Xuezhu. Ran away from home last night. We looked for the night. There has been no news so far. Xie Yuhan explained.

"Oops. Your house is really messy. Three people disappeared in succession. The surname is also different. I'm confused. You are. Liu Xi looked at Xie Yuhan puzzled.

"I am Yang Wentie's lover. Xie Yuhan was a little embarrassed. But he still pointed to the iron egg. Answered the question.

"Lovers. So. The adult who disappeared was.。。 Liu Xi was confused. Stir up her inquisitive mind and start imagining.

In the time when Xie Yuhan paused. There are countless hypotheses in Liu Xi's head: the missing one is his ex-wife. The one in front of me is the stepwife, and the one missing is the old love. The one in front of me is the new love; What is the reason for the disappearance of the child? Could it be ......

Liu Xi was taken aback by his own reasoning. She was calm. Pull your mind back. Look at the depressed iron egg. I can't help but be distracted: this man seems ordinary. Life is really colorful. Corrupted and erosive.

Come to think of it. She had a different opinion of the Iron Egg in her heart. Although she is young. But he can't accept and tolerate men who mess with flowers. looked at Xie Yuhan's beautiful face again. Her face froze. He said, "People in your family have been missing. I've got to report it. This is a matter of human life. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. You hurry up and report it. My family is restless. There's no way to get by. Thank you. Well thought out. Xie Yuhan didn't know what to do. I also thanked her vigorously.

"Look at this. Sign it if you don't have a question. Liu Xi pushed the transcript in front of Xie Yuhan. Staring at her intently. As if to get from her face. See the uneasiness and incriminating evidence in her heart.

Xie Yuhan swept the transcript with a glance and ten lines. Where did she have the heart to look closely. Pick up a pen and sign your name hastily. I pressed my handprint.

Liu Xi always felt that her hand signing was trembling. This deepens her conceited suspicions: the woman is inextricably linked to the disappearance of her child.

"You can go. Liu Xi put away the transcript. Said coldly.

"Comrade. When can there be news. Xie Yuhan asked unwillingly.

"Go home and wait. I will inform you when there is news. Liu Xi picked up the folder and quickly got up and walked into the inner room.

Xie Yuhan helplessly helped the iron egg to leave.

……

"Hey. Give me the criminal police brigade. ”

"Criminal police brigade. I'm looking for Zhuang Jinhai. ”

"Uncle Zhuang. I have a strange case here. A family has gone missing three people in a row in a month. An adult. Two children. ”

"Good. Good. I'll wait for you. ”

Liu Xi finished the call. Back in the hall. There was no one in the hall. It was quiet. She sat in her seat. I started thinking about this case again.

The facts of the case cannot be summed up simply by the word complex. The man who reported the crime. Plain appearance. It doesn't look like a rich man. So. What kind of capital does he have, and he frequently attracts bees and butterflies. The two missing children have different surnames. The woman still had one in her belly. Could it be said. Except for the woman who went missing. Before her. And a woman.

Liu Xi couldn't help but be amazed. was impressed by Yang Wentie. Seemingly. This man is extraordinary. Yan Fu is not shallow.

Just as she was immersed in cranky thoughts. When the mind is in a trance. A car pulled up in front of the police station. One tall and one short. One fat and one thin. Two men opened two doors at the same time, one on the left and one on the right. Get out of the car.

They walked straight into the hall. Sonorous footsteps. Pull Liu Xi back to reality from his wild thinking.

She immediately got up. Greet them with a respectful gaze.
