Chapter 111: Glass Beads
Suddenly mentioning the past is tantamount to revealing his scars, so that Feng Tan's tone has a vague sadness.
After a while, he reorganized his emotions and said in a firm tone: "My dad won't take this thing for no reason, he must be hinting at me something, he knows that I can understand it......"
In this regard, Su Yiyang was a little disapproving, but slightly hooked the corners of his lips: "It's also possible that you think too much, Uncle Feng just took something casually, and it just happened to be this bead." ”
"No way, that's not true. ”
Feng Tan's tone paused slightly, frowned imperceptibly, and continued: "This box is stored in a drawer, not an object that needs to be taken care of regularly, and my father can't turn it out for no reason." What's more, the fire is serious, but as long as he still has a little sense of autonomy, he should try his best to run out, how can he think of taking this unimportant thing?"
"Okay, let's just make sense. Su Yiyang nodded noncommittally, and then he curled his index finger slightly, and with a slight tap on the table top of the stone table with his thoughts, he continued to analyze Feng Tan's words.
"But as you said, since Uncle Feng has time to get this glass bead, it means that he was sober and had the ability to act independently, I remember that the case report clearly said that Uncle Feng was killed in a fire in a coma, are these possibilities you analyzed?"
"Boss Su, why do you think there is no such possibility?"
Feng Tan did not answer Su Yiyang's question, but directly asked back, under Su Dashao's inquiring gaze, he opened his mouth unhurriedly, and explained the ins and outs of the fire in more detail.
Regarding the fire, the official conclusion was that the old circuit caused a short circuit in the wires, which led to the fire.
This is an accident that no one wants to see, Feng Sunan lived in an old house at the time, with a lot of books at home, and also stored objects such as Peking Opera business, which are flammable and explosive materials, but if they are stained with sparks, they can't be stopped at all.
If it was during the day, maybe it would be okay, maybe Feng Sunan realized that something was wrong, and there was still time to react. It was night, he was choked by smoke in his sleep, and the excessive inhalation of carbon monoxide directly caused him to fall into a coma, and he completely lost consciousness before he even had time to call for help, so it didn't matter whether he could save himself or anything else.
In the end, the neighbor found out that the situation was wrong and reported the crime, but the fire was already quite large at that time, and by the time the fire brigade arrived, the person could not be saved at all.......
At that time, there was nothing unusual at the fire scene, and the police conducted a routine investigation afterwards, but unfortunately did not find any suspicions, and finally just judged the fire as an accident, and there were no criminal problems, and it was hastily reversed.
Speaking of this, Feng Tan sighed lightly, and after a pause in his tone, he continued: "Most of the things in the old house were burned in that fire, and they were burned to the ground...... This glass was held in my father's hand, but it was completely preserved, which can be regarded as leaving me some thoughts, otherwise...... I don't even have anything to hang on. ”
The atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy, Feng Tan didn't continue, and Su Yiyang and Gu Nanqiao didn't speak for a long time.
What happened later Su Yiyang was basically clear, it was nothing more than Feng Tan came to the Su family villa to borrow for a few days, and was taken back to the Feng family mansion by Mr. Feng.
At the same time, Su Yiyang's thoughts began to turn, and those doubts that were deliberately avoided not to mention, but were firmly engraved in the deepest part of his heart, and could not be relieved after many years, were also vividly remembered.
In the period after Feng Sunan's death, the Su family also became very unpeaceful.
In Su Yiyang's limited memory, Sun Jing and Su Guangnan quarreled non-stop during that time, and Su Yiyang didn't know the reason, and no one would explain the reason to him, a child. However, no matter how secretive it is, it will inevitably reveal clues and make people perceive some clues.
Under Su Dashao's attention, he soon heard some rumors in the mouths of the servants in the Su family's villa who liked to gossip about the parents, which were nothing more than ambiguous rumors with charming colors among the wealthy families, but they were only entangled in love and hate.
- Su Guangnan had someone outside, and when Sun Jing discovered this, it caused a lot of trouble.
I don't know if these things are true or not, even if they are true, Su Yiyang, who is just a child, can't solve it, he has to coax his mother to be happy in a clumsy way, and wants to whitewash the peace to solve this invisible contradiction.
However, this adjustment had little effect, and Sun Jing was just silent day by day.
During that time, she spent most of her time on the performances at the Jingyao Grand Theater, except for eating and sleeping, she spent almost all of her time in the rehearsal hall, leaving early and returning late every day, and even Su Yiyang rarely saw her. Occasionally when she goes home, Sun Jing will not talk to Su Guangnan, she always sits alone on the rattan chair in the backyard of the villa, making a pot of hot tea or simply admiring the moonlight, unwilling to talk to others, and does not like to be disturbed by anyone.
The cold moonlight outlines her delicate and moving eyebrows, the plain satin crochet shawl seems to have a light frost color, the beauty of the bone is particularly prominent in the deep night, her silhouette-like silhouette is abrupt and sharp, with the beauty of the end of the road, when she is speechless, there is a gloom that cannot be dissolved between her eyebrows.
The young Su Yiyang couldn't understand the complex emotions of adults, didn't know what her mother was hurting, and didn't know how to persuade her, all she could do was to behave well, attend classes seriously at school every day, and come back with several test papers with full marks.
He had naively thought that these were only temporary difficulties, and that soon the family would be better again.
Then after some time, Sun Jing suddenly committed suicide, drawing everything to an irreversible end.
This incident left an indelible shadow in Su Yiyang's young heart.
Especially on the night on the eve of Sun Jing's suicide, the words she said as if she were entrusting the future, over the years, became a sharp knife inserted in Su Yiyang's heart, always reminding him that there are some things that cannot be passed. The half-brewed jasmine slices lingered for a long time, lingering on him when he woke up, opening the scars again and again.
In the end, Su Yiyang has always blamed himself.
He had imagined more than once whether he would have been able to avoid these accidents if he had been able to detect Sun Jing's abnormal mood back then. Such thoughts made Su Yiyang never be able to forgive himself and his father Su Guangnan.
As for the deeper reason, Su Yiyang didn't know.
He could only transfer the sourness in his heart to "his father's derailment" and "Xiaosan's passage", as an instinctive escape, and also to find a sustenance for his emotions, until he grew up, Su Yiyang gradually realized that something was wrong.
Although Sun Jing looks gentle and delicate on the surface, she is very dignified by the ladies of Jiangnan, but she has a very free and fiery temper in her bones, and she is not a temper that will be bullied to a dead end at all. If Su Guangnan was really caught cheating, Sun Jing would go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to divorce him the next day, how could he be forced to commit suicide?
Not to mention the turmoil at the Jingyao Grand Theater at that time, accidents happened one after another, all of which were aimed at several major Peking Opera families, and in the end, the Ji family took advantage of the fisherman, but became the only survivor, no matter how you look at it, it is too coincidental.
Perhaps Su Guangnan's derailment is only the most superficial reason, this is the straw that crushed Sun Jing, but it is not the whole reason. The coincidence itself shows that everything is not simple, and behind those accidents, all the evidence points to the Jingyao Grand Theater.
So, what happened back then?
In the end, it was Gu Nanqiao's extremely light and faint voice that broke the silence at the moment, and also brought back Su Yiyang's complex thoughts.
She thought about Feng Tan's words just now, and quickly found the point: "So, why did Uncle Feng hold this glass bead at that time...... Have the police investigated these things?"
"No, maybe they just used it as an ornament for my dad. Feng Tan lowered his head slightly, his soft bangs were blown by the night wind, and the hanging hair concealed the emotions in his eyes.
"My dad was very busy in the years when he worked at the Jingyao Grand Theatre, there were hardly any holidays, and during the last accident, he spent all day and night in the rehearsal hall, so he didn't have much time to care about me....... I was in boarding school and had just started second grade, so I didn't go home except on weekends, so I didn't know a lot about what was going on at home. ”
"Maybe it's because I'm too young, I can't understand a lot of things, and the emotions at that time were too excited, it's hard to be trusted, I told the police about the suspicions about the glass beads, they only thought it was a child's joke, they didn't take it to heart at all, and of course they won't investigate in depth - in fact, it must be an investigation, and I can't find out why, twenty years ago, the criminal investigation methods were far less developed than now, and they could still let my dad dream for the first seven times, and ask him why he couldn't hold that object?"
For such a situation, Su Yiyang had no surprises, and even took it for granted.
After all, the police didn't know the story behind the glass beads, and of course they wouldn't think about it deeply.
When Feng Tan was a child, others seemed to owe him millions, and Su Dashao had also seen it himself, presumably even if he had the heart to explain the situation to the police, there was absolutely nothing good to say, so that in the end, the matter was unclear and mixed with too many personal emotions, and there was nothing left.
What's more, these coincidences are lingering obsessions in Feng Tan's eyes, but in the eyes of the police, they are not evidence at all, let alone evidence for judging the case.
"According to what you said, this glass bead was not held by Uncle Feng before he went to sleep, and it is unlikely that it is a so-called portable ornament. Gu Nanqiao sat on the side and analyzed Feng Tan's words very seriously, "The biggest possibility is that he woke up in the fire, and then got this bead, so since he woke up, why didn't he run, even if he asked for help......
If you think about it a little, you will know that according to the normal thinking of human beings, such a thing would never be done. At the moment of sudden accidents, even if there is a slightest chance of life, we should quickly find a way to survive, instead of leaving those hints that others may not understand, insinuating something.
The only possibility is that Feng Sunan clearly knows that he has no possibility of surviving - knowing that he will definitely die, and he still hides a deep grievance, he will leave some hints to remind others, so as not to make his death unclear.
If so, it means that the fire was not a natural disaster, but a natural disaster.
Gu Nanqiao's scalp was numb from being shocked by her own inference, she subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Feng Tan, who was facing Feng Tan's hateful gaze, he hooked the corners of his lips and sneered meaninglessly, and opened his mouth lightly.
"It's not that my dad doesn't ask for help, but he ...... I knew I couldn't run. ”
