Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Eighth Dead
In the single apartment where Zheng Xing lived, Chen Tianyu and his entourage did not get any useful clues, but they did not easily give up the monitoring of Zheng Xing. Since the suspicion of Ye Ge has basically been ruled out, Wan Yongkun and Fat Sheng were finally able to free their hands and began to closely monitor Zheng Xing, with their shadow-like tracking, Zheng Xing's every move was basically under the control of Beiting. However, nearly a week has passed, and Wan Yongkun and the two have not found any abnormalities in Zheng Xing, except for occasionally going to Liu's house to tutor Liu Xu'er, this Zheng Xing basically stays in his own home, rarely goes out, and has not had contact with any suspicious people.
Due to the major changes in the Liu family, as an "outsider" who is not a stranger, Zheng Xing can only indirectly express some sympathy and comfort, which is also the purpose of his visit to the Liu family several times, in the name of counseling Liu Xu'er to visit and comfort Xu'er and her mother. But Liu Xu'er has no intention of studying, and she is completely like two people before, drawing like graffiti every day, and learning nothing else, so Zheng Xing has no way. In view of this situation, Zheng Xing euphemistically submitted his resignation to Yuan Hui'e, but Yuan Hui'e immediately disagreed, as a mother, her only hope now is pinned on her daughter, and the idea of elite cultivation has become more firm, so she will not be in this kind of difficult juncture, so that Zheng Xing, the only tutor who can be relied on at this time, will resign.
Zheng Xing was also very embarrassed, he looked at the sad atmosphere of the Liu family, and he was also very uncomfortable, but he was here to teach and educate people, but the students didn't listen, he felt guilty with his salary, but Yuan Hui'e's repeated requests also made him in a dilemma. In order not to disappoint the poor mother too much, Zheng Xing thought about it again and again, and put away the idea of resigning for the time being, but after that, he tried to minimize the number of times he went to Liu's house, and hoped that Liu Xu'er could adjust and adapt to the current situation as soon as possible. In his spare time, Zheng Xing was at home reading, writing, playing the piano, and playing chess, and he was not in a hurry to go out to find another job, and he did not realize that he was being watched all the time.
Yuan Hui'e is living a life that is almost worse than death in these days, she bears the great pain of losing her husband, and also bears the great pressure of her son becoming a murderer, she is depressed every day, has no appetite to eat, has no heart to sleep, sleepless every night, barely falls asleep with sleeping pills, and often wakes up in dreams. Her nerves are on the verge of collapse, if she can't see her daughter Liu Yu'er every day, I'm afraid she can't support it anymore.
On this day, she was sad again, recalling her and Liu Changshou's achievements from starting from nothing to today, but unfortunately the house is still there, the company is still there, but the people are gone. Thinking of the failure of her son's education, which led him to this point of no return, Yuan Hui'e was heartbroken, so she could only hold Liu Xue'er to chat, she needed to pour out her pain and grievances.
When Yuan Hui'e walked out of the living room to find her daughter, she found that Liu Xu'er was looking through the paintings she had painted in the study, but did not recite ancient poems according to her own requirements, which made her even more angry, "Xu'er, why are you so disobedient?
Liu Xu'er has long been accustomed to Yuan Hui'e's scolding of herself, she tried hard to be obedient before, and she didn't want to be criticized like this often, but what happened at home made her have no mind to do things she didn't like, and her mother's oppression was also the most disgusting. So she didn't respond to Yuan Hui'e's question, bowed her head and said nothing, still groping for her favorite oil painting in her hand.
Yuan Hui'e was irritable when she saw this scene, and reached out to tear the painting in Liu Wu'er's hand, but due to excessive force, she only heard a "stab" sound, and the oil surface was torn in half.
Liu Yu'er was very sad, she raised her head and looked at her mother, the tears of grievance had overflowed her eyes, but she saw her mother's face that had become much older in the past few days, and she couldn't bear it in her heart, so she let the tears slide down her cheeks, but she never said anything. Unexpectedly, her silence aroused Yuan Hui'e's anger even more, and her mother simply knocked over all the oil paintings on the table to the ground.
"What's the matter with you kid!" Yuan Hui'e rebuked angrily, "Now the hope of our Liu family is all on you alone, you are still so ignorant, you know how to paint, don't you need to learn anything else?
Liu Yu'er bit her lip and shook her head while shedding tears, her heart was very sad, and she was so frightened by her mother's emotion that she didn't dare to say more.
Yuan Hui'e already needs to vent, and this situation can't help it, "Since you were a child, your mother has been strict with you, isn't it all for your own good? You go to class, am I going to play? Aren't you trying to make money and create good conditions for you with your father! You have been eating and dressing well since you were a child, are you hungry or frozen, why is this happening now? Dad is gone, but you still have me, I will definitely continue to provide you with study and study, but you must work hard, you can't waste time like this!"
Liu Wu'er understands these truths, but her mother has never been so fierce, she is really afraid, and her voice came out of her throat and only dared to reply in a low voice, "Mom, I know." ”
"I know, I know that you are still grinding in this study! Is this the first day? You haven't studied seriously for at least more than a week, I invited Zheng Xing to tutor you, but you ignored them when people came, and now he has proposed to resign with me, and he is not angry with you. If such a good teacher leaves, where will he find it in the future?" Yuan Hui'e continued to vent her anger.
"Mom, I was wrong, but I was really bad. Liu Wei'er complained with tears streaming down her face.
Yuan Hui'e heard that her daughter was willing to admit her mistakes, and her emotions calmed down a little, but she still didn't take into account her feelings, "If you know your mistakes, you have to change them, you say that you are uncomfortable, then I am also very uncomfortable, but does it work? Now you are the only hope of our family, you have to be worthy of me, and you must also be worthy of your father, otherwise he will definitely not be able to rest in peace!"
Liu Xu'er felt that her mother was too paranoid, she wiped away her tears and said slowly, "Mom, I will definitely study hard, but I don't want to become a robot and only learn, if it is still the same as before, I am really uncomfortable!"
"You, you ignorant child!" Yuan Hui'e felt that her daughter took this opportunity to be lazy and made a lot of excuses, that is, she opposed her past education methods, she felt that her investment over the years, whether it was material or spiritual, had a clear conscience, and she couldn't turn back. Now, Liu Xu'er is so rebellious, she can't accept it, she is so angry that she raised her arms, she really wanted to give Liu Xu'er two slaps, but halfway up, as a mother, she still couldn't bear to start, and she didn't need to be so for Liu Xu'er's education before, her daughter has always been very obedient, at most a few words are enough, and her daughter has just lost her father, which is really pitiful.
But my daughter is pitiful, so I am not pitiful? Middle-aged widower, and seeing that I am about to lose my daughter, this is already one of the four sorrows in life, and now my daughter still doesn't understand herself, which makes Yuan Hui'e feel that she has become a loner. The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and the more angry she became, the more she couldn't think about the problem calmly, so she stopped talking to Liu Wu'er, returned to the living room alone, and sat on the sofa sulking. The so-called fans of the authorities, even if Liu Xuer can speak reasonably, Yuan Hui'e is difficult to listen to, she only has one thought, that is, to go all the way to the end, to tutor her daughter with the concept of elite education until she becomes an adult.
Finding it difficult to communicate with her mother, Liu gave up on this idea, closed the door of the study, locked it from the inside, and fiddled with the scroll alone, slowly gluing the oil painting that had just been accidentally torn up with tape. However, what Liu Xu'er didn't know was that because she closed the door and was too focused on doing things, she didn't hear the movement outside, her mother Yuan Hui'e couldn't stand the atmosphere at home, and quietly ran away from home that night.
At noon the next day, the police received a report that another female corpse had been found on a reef on the edge of the beach park. Beiting immediately got the news, Li Yiting and Xu Jingnan immediately went to the scene to investigate, although there was no evidence, but their intuition told them that this matter might still be related to the Grim Reaper series of cases.
It's not the first time that a fatality has occurred in the beach park, a few days ago in the evening, Liu Changshou was killed in the changing room here, and was killed by a steel thorn used in the barbecue, which was also the first time to find man-made physical evidence, and a lot seemed to have happened that night, and Liu Xu'er was almost washed away by the sea, but fortunately, there was no danger. This time Li Yiting came to the beach again, it was noon, the red sun was at the head, the beach was very hot, there were not many tourists, as for those barbecue stalls, they were not open yet, they usually did not start business until after dark.
According to the police investigation, it was a couple who were about to get married who came to the beach to take wedding photos, and in order to achieve excellent results, the photographer arranged a small raft for the couple to float off the shore, so as to integrate the seawater, reef, and sunlight all together from a distance. When the shooting was about to be completed, the couple found that there seemed to be a person lying on a reef not far ahead, they thought that someone was tired from swimming there and needed to rest, so they didn't care, but when the raft passed the reef, they felt that something was wrong, and the person seemed to have not moved. So, the couple tried to row over, only to find that there was a woman on the reef, in her forties, no matter how they called, there was no response, and when they leaned to the edge of the reef, they found that the woman was no longer breathing, and in a panic, they almost overturned the raft. The couple immediately rowed to the shore and told the photographer, which notified the police to come.
Li Yiting visually observed that the reef was at least thirty meters away from the shallow water area by the beach, and it was definitely not a walk over, and if you wanted to go to the reef, you had to row or swim. The police had arranged for the boat to sail to the reef, and after taking photos for evidence, they loaded the body onto the boat and brought it back to the shore. The corpse was laid flat on the beach, and Li Yiting and Xu Jingnan stepped forward and saw at a glance that this dead woman was Liu Xiaoquan's mother Yuan Hui'e!
Although they had already prepared in their hearts, guessing that this matter might be related to the Grim Reaper case, and this place was the place where Liu Changshou was killed, it should not be such a coincidence, but after hearing the news, everyone was still very surprised. Because Liu Xiaoquan, a major suspect in the series of cases, has been arrested and is currently receiving treatment in a rehabilitation center, while Zheng Xing, another suspect, is being monitored by Wan Yongkun and Fat Sheng 24 hours a day, and neither of them will have time to commit the crime again, so what happened to Yuan Hui'e's death? The curse of death does not seem to stop because the two suspects are controlled, and everyone is worried, Li Yiting asked Xu Jingnan to do a preliminary investigation at the scene, and then he brought Yuan Hui'e's body back and immediately conducted an autopsy and laboratory examination.
Soon, Xu Jingnan came to a preliminary conclusion that Yuan Hui'e had a lot of sediment in her mouth, her throat and trachea were also filled with a lot of seawater mixed with sand, her lungs were swollen and congested, and her whole body was white, and the cause of her death was drowning, or that she was drowned. Yuan Hui'e's forehead was broken, but other than that, there were no obvious external injuries all over her body, no heavy bleeding, her bones were intact, and her face was peaceful. According to the angle and direction of the impact, this was not deliberately caused before death, but her body happened to hit it under the impact of the water after drowning, and it was precisely because of this that her body was left on it and was found. And his face is fine, there are no obvious traces of struggle or struggle, and there are no poisons or ecstasy drugs in his body, and it can finally be determined that Yuan Hui'e jumped into the sea and committed suicide.
Since it was a suicide, it did not belong to the category of homicide, and Li Yiting asked Xu Jingnan to carefully review it, but he still did not change this conclusion. So this matter, it should be Yuan Hui'e who committed suicide under the pain, and there seems to be no connection between her death and death, which can also make sense that when Liu Xiaoquan and Zheng Xing are under surveillance, why are there still people who die? Since it was suicide, everything is reasonable, Li Yiting is both relieved, after all, it shows that there is no more mistakes in the direction of their investigation, but he also feels very sorry, in this way, the Liu family is only left with a little girl Liu Xu'er, who is not yet an adult, and her life will be very difficult in the future.
After the autopsy of Yuan Hui'e was completed, Xu Jingnan brought another piece of heavy news, this matter was discovered and guessed more than half a month ago, that is, when Liu Changshou was still alive. But there was no obvious evidence at the time, and there seemed to be no direct connection between this information and the murder quiet, so no one investigated further. The news is that Yuan Hui'e, who already has a pair of children, is really pregnant, and the fetus has been formed, about four months old.
