Xu Laohan said: "No, Xu Ping, this kid is very kind, and he is also relatively tactful, he has never offended anyone or argued with anyone." It seems that he quarreled with people when he was very young, but he was only four or five years old at the time, even at that time, he didn't blush or cry, it can be said that Xu Ping is too honest. After Xu Laohan finished speaking, he asked nervously: "Officer, did something happen to Xu Ping again?" ”

I have to say that a father's sixth sense is still very accurate.

Of course, Xu Laohan asked this question, which made Shao Dong very embarrassed, he didn't want to deceive an old man, but he didn't dare to tell him the truth.

The truth is often cruel, and now Xu Laohan is alone at home. If you tell him again, Xu Ping has passed away.

He was really afraid that Xu Laohan couldn't bear it, and he was not in good health, so something would really happen if such a stimulus was not good, and after thinking about it for a while, Shao Dong still decided to hide it from him and said: "It's nothing, let's just understand the situation." After all, he was also stabbed several times at the beginning, if it wasn't for the timely rescue and even his life would have been lost, how to say that it would be a big case, and we as police officers naturally have to understand clearly. ”

To be honest, this is the first time Shao Dong has lied, and he doesn't like to lie in his usual life. But at this point, he didn't dare to tell the truth, he was very sympathetic to Xu Laohan's family. He didn't know what to say or do to minimize the damage to their family. So the lie came out casually, watching Xu Laohan's emotions from nervous to relaxed, in that transition process. Shao Dong was very envious, he envied Xu Ping, there was such a father and such a father who gave up everything for him.

In order not to let Old Man Xu think wildly, Shao Dong interrupted and asked, "Old man, can I ask you? Why did you give Xu Ping to Lao Zhang's family in the first place?" I think Xu Ping, this kid is quite sensible and obedient. Of course, I can see that you care about her. As long as you care, and the child is sensible and obedient, why do you want to send this child to Lao Zhang's house? Isn't it good for you to take it with yourself, after all, it is your own son's own son. ”

Speaking of this topic, Xu Laohan sighed and was silent for a long time before wiping his tears and saying, "Who said no, who is willing to send their children to someone else's house." Even if I ask for food, I want to bring up my children. Raising him as an adult is the one thing I want to do the most, but I can't, because I don't dare to hurt him, I'm afraid I'm afraid he will follow me. What kind of accident will happen, for more than 20 years, every time I think of those experiences, my heart is very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable!"

"How can you think like this, old man, how can the child have an accident after you, since it is an accident, it is something that no one can predict, if he really has an accident, there will be an accident with everyone. Shao Dong didn't understand Xu Laohan's statement. He couldn't understand how he could have an accident with his child.

Hearing Shao Dong say this, Xu Laohan shook his head helplessly, and said: "You won't understand if you haven't experienced it, I've experienced it, I used to doubt it, but when I have experienced it many times, I know that it's true, it will really kill people, I don't want to send any of my relatives away, I just don't want to!"

Shao Dong didn't understand what Xu Laohan had experienced, and he couldn't understand Xu Laohan's personal pain. So he couldn't understand what Xu Laohan said.

Of course, Xu Laohan didn't care if others didn't understand, he said: "I'm in my fifties this year, and it's been more than 30 years since my parents died, and I'm watching my parents walk in front of me one by one. At first I thought it was normal because they were older than me, and it was nothing to say, but in the end I got married, and my wife, after giving birth to Xu Ping, also left.

You don't know, when Xu Ping was born, I really didn't think about giving it to others. I want to take him with me, I want to eat, and I want to bring him to adulthood. But his mother died as soon as he was born, and I followed him home. His health is always bad, today it is not this pain, tomorrow there is a problem, it doesn't matter how much money is spent, the main thing is that I don't want him to suffer like that. It's also strange to say, when I helped send Xu Ping to Lao Zhang's house, hey, his body was inexplicably good. There's no more awkward trouble at both ends of the three days......"

Xu Laohan was very depressed, he couldn't understand why his child was by his side. There will be such and such problems, and when this child is given to someone else's family, all the problems seem to be solved again, is it true that his life can only be lonely?

He couldn't understand why, they all said that life is fair, but he had never seen what fairness looked like.

He wanted to live with his children, but only for a moment......

Of course, after so many years, he is used to it, and it doesn't matter what happens in the future. As long as the child is good, he can accept it, no problem, sometimes he has thought carefully about it, if he can let Xu Pingping live peacefully, he is willing to give up his life. He doesn't care, he's casual.

Shao Dong didn't understand this, of course, when Xu Laohan said this. He knew what had happened, but he still couldn't understand it, so he asked, "Old man, I'm sorry, I take the liberty of asking, how did your parents die back then, by the way, and your wife." ”

Shao Dong knew that it was not good to rub salt on other people's wounds, but Shao Dong was really curious about what kind of reason could make a father give up his son. And he could see that the father himself loved his child very much. This is completely unreasonable. So he asked.

Speaking of this problem, Xu Laohan is also very difficult. After all these years, he kept reminding himself not to think, not to think, not to think. He was very reluctant to think about these questions, because these questions, each one, were like scars carved into his body.

I can't forget it, and it's unforgettable......

Of course. Since Shao Dong had already asked, Xu Laohan could only answer: "When my father passed away, it was an accident, I can't tell what the reason is, I was only a teenager at the time, it was an accident, and my father passed away like that." As for my mother, my mother was almost two years after my father died, yes two years. Then, my mother passed away. It seems to be an accident, too, and it is not clear in the specifics.

I only heard that at that time, the bridge broke when my mother was crossing the river. As for my wife, my wife died in childbirth when she gave birth to Xu Ping. In fact, before they died, their health had always been fine, there was no illness or pain, but it was just that sudden death and death, without the slightest warning, I was very scared and worried, and it was because of this fear that I had to choose to send Xu Ping to Zhang's house. But you have also seen that after Xu Ping was sent to Lao Zhang's house, for so many years, his health was fine, he was healthy, and he was admitted to a university. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Laohan was still very happy, with a look of relief. After all, the child really took the first place in the city's top exam at that time! There is no father who does not love his children, and there is no father who does not care about these children. No father doesn't want to be proud of his children, and Xu Laohan is the same.

Shao Dong could clearly feel that when it came to this topic, Xu Laohan. The whole person has a feeling of being a little radiant, you can feel that he is young at this moment, this is a father, a father who really loves his children.

Of course, this is only one of them, Shao Dong is not most concerned about this issue, he is most concerned about Xu Laohan's relatives.

His parents and his wife have passed away one after another, and he didn't know him and didn't know him before, but I heard Xu Laohan say that his parents and wife all died in accidents, why did this accident happen so often in their family? And now think about it, including Xu Ping, now all of Xu Laohan's relatives are gone, they are all dead, and Xu Laohan is left alone.

Of course, after Xu Laohan said these words, Shao Dong was stunned, and they all died, all because of an accident. Is the accidental mortality rate so high? And it's all concentrated in the old man's family, his father, his mother, his wife, and now his children. This reminds Shao Dong of a TV series, foreign, what is the curse called, and Xu Laohan's situation is very similar to the protagonist of that TV series. He was cursed, so his family, one by one, left him. Shao Dong couldn't figure it out, he really couldn't figure it out.

Curse this kind of thing Shao doesn't believe in it, what he believes is evidence. If this is Xu Laohan's life, it can only be said. He had such a fate, and of course, he didn't think it was all an accident. Because, now Xu Ping is also dead, and Xu Ping's death is definitely not an accident, it is murder, intentional murder!

reminds me of the situation of Xu Laohan's family. He suddenly had a thought: Is there someone who has been at odds with his family?

If this is really the case, the case is interesting, and the time span is at least a few decades. But Shao Dong is really suspicious like this, because their family is too strange, except for Xu Laohan, the others have died in the second and third years. The most interesting thing is that Xu Ping's death is also because after coming out of Xu Laohan's house, thinking of this, Shao Dong asked: "Old man, has Xu Ping been to your house before?"

"Nope. Xu Laohan said: "Because I am afraid that it will really hurt him because of me, so I have been telling the two members of the old Zhang family that I will not let Xu Ping come to my house over the years." This is also the first time, it feels good to say, after so many years, I have always been alone in this room, and suddenly there is one more person to take care of, I am very happy and comfortable, and I finally feel as if I have a son. He would take care of me when I was sick, when I wasn't feeling well, when I was uncomfortable. Having said that, you don't believe it, and I've been smiling when I sleep for the past two days. ”

Xu Ping had never been to Xu Laohan's house before, so the question arises, why did Xu Ping have been safe and sound for so many years, just because he had an accident because he came to Xu Laohan's house once? Is it really just a coincidence? Moreover, Xu Ping's personality is said by so many people to be a very gentle person. He couldn't have offended anyone, and even if he could, the odds were too low and too low. And the most important thing is that in the past twenty years or so, Xu Ping has not been to Xu Laohan's house once, and at the same time, he has not had an accident.

At the beginning of the year, Xu Ping was stabbed several times, and the murderer was a psychopath. Since the beginning of the year, Xu Ping has not had any accidents, and has just been discharged from the hospital in the past two days. During the day, I recuperated at home, and in the afternoon, I came to take care of Xu Laohan. Theoretically, he didn't have the time or energy to interact with outsiders. Why did he die suddenly, and he died so bizarrely, Shao Dong's mind was full of chaos, he really couldn't figure out these things.

"Old man, when your parents and wife died one after another, didn't the police give an explanation? Whether it was an accident or some other reason. Well, there is a way to say it, and I heard you say that the accident of your father's death is not clear. Didn't the Public Security Bureau investigate it back then? Could it have been because of an accident?"

After Shao Dong finished speaking, he looked at Xu Laohan directly.

He didn't know if Xu Laohan had ever gone to investigate. But anyone who will do something when his loved ones pass away, including Xu Laohan.

Xu Laohan shook his head and said, "How can I not understand, I just don't want to say it, my father died in an accident back then." It's just that many people don't know how the specific accident happened. I didn't know much about it at the time, but I learned later that there are many things that we can't change. ”

Speaking of these topics, Xu Laohan's mood was obviously sluggish again.

"Can the old man tell me what the specific reason is? What kind of accident happened?" Although he knew that it was not good to ask like this, Shao Dong still asked. Because he is no longer just suspicious of Xu Ping's case, he is even thinking about Xu Laohan's family. Was it really an accident? If there was a murderer who had been hurting the family for decades, or it was a deliberate cause of the fact that Xu Laohan was alone today. Then this murderer is too terrible, Shao Dong will not allow him to continue like this.

And judging from what Shao Dong has learned now, it is not impossible. Because, Xu Laohan's family really died one after another, and it was all because of accidents, is there such a coincidence, Shao Dong has been a police officer for so many years, and what he believes most is coincidence, but is there too many such coincidences, one can be called a coincidence, two can also be added to coincidences, three or four, can it still be called a coincidence? And Xu Ping's death is after going to Xu Laohan's house, what can I say?

Although Xu Laohan was very reluctant to talk about this topic, when someone really asked, he still wanted to talk about it. Over the years, he had never told anyone about these things, and they were like a thorn in his heart. Someone today is willing to listen, and he is willing to vent.

Sit up and pull out an old cigarette pouch. After igniting it, he took a few sips, and then said, "My father back then." It's because when he was working in the mountains, he was bitten by a snake, which was different in those days. Neither science nor medicine was as advanced as it is now, and we didn't realize it when he came back at first. But who knew he died that night, and at first we didn't know how he died. Because it was very strange, he came back and foamed at the mouth on the bed, so he died suddenly, and finally an old Chinese medicine doctor in the county came to us and said that he was poisoned.

At that time, we happened to find two snake bite marks on his body, and we concluded that he had been poisoned. Strangely enough, I remember that when I was a child, we didn't have many snakes on our side, let alone poisonous snakes, and I have lived in this Xihe village for more than 50 years, and I have rarely seen snakes. But my father was indeed bitten to death by a snake, so it must have been an accident. ”

After Xu Laohan finished speaking, Shao Dong shook his head, he didn't think so, since Xu Laohan had already said that snakes are rarely seen in this place, then this is a problem in itself, if there are no poisonous snakes in this place, where did the poisonous snakes come from? It can't fly out, and it is impossible for a poisonous snake to cross thousands of mountains and miles to bite people, and the attack power of poisonous snakes is not very strong, they will only attack people under the self-protection mechanism when they encounter danger, generally speaking, when they see people, it will run away early.

Then this is interesting, a poisonous snake that does not exist here, but suddenly appeared. And as soon as he appeared, he bit a person to death, which doesn't sound like an accident. And Xu Laohan's father works in the mountains, if he encounters a poisonous snake, won't he run?

In this regard, Shao Dong shook his head, Xu Laohan's father's matter is not simple, it is not just an accident as Xu Laohan said.

This case is full of inexplicable strangeness, and even a hint of weirdness, and people always have awe and fear of the unknown.

The more you dig deeper, the more you can feel an inexplicable force that seems to dominate all this.

Since the suspicion is man-made, can the poisonous snake also obey the command of people? Shao Dong shook his head with a wry smile.

But for Xu Laohan's statement, Shao Dong absolutely disagrees, because Xu Laohan's ideas are too superstitious, the movie has been staged, someone is destined to be lonely or something, Shao Dong knows very well, these are all fantasy statements, and it is nonsense in reality, but everything that happened seems to be too coincidental, Shao Dong is a party member, a materialist, and absolutely does not believe that there are ghosts and gods in the world, he believes that behind all this there will be no supernatural phenomena, it is very likely to be caused by man, maybe one person, maybe several people。

Of course, if you want to find the clues of Xu Ping's father at the scene of the crime, is there any trace to follow?

However, after so many years, there should be no trace left.

Although Shao Dong subconsciously thought in his mind whether he should do this. The next second later, he shook his head again, because the span of time is too long, decades have passed, and there can be no more evidence, of course, Shao Dong must also investigate this case to the end.

But the entry point can only be placed on the case that has just happened, as long as it is a crime, no matter how clever the means, it will leave clues, this is the law.

Shao Dong sorted out his thoughts and continued to ask Xu Laohan.
