22. Pity the hearts of parents in the world!
"Listen to my explanation, in fact, I have never been in a relationship with Ah Shun at all, I just accompany her to eat, go shopping, go to the playground to play, and buy her some small cakes, she thinks we are in love. I just kept thinking of her as my sister. An Shijin sat beside Chu Shi'an, grabbed her shoulder and explained anxiously, she didn't want Chu Shi'an to think that she was a flowery and abusive person, even though she might have been before, but she was still afraid that Chu Shi'an would look down on her because of this.
"Actually, you don't have to explain it to me, although I hired you as my assistant, but after all, this is your own private life, and I am not qualified to ask." Chu Shi'an's face was indifferent, and he gently broke away and An Shijin grabbed her hand. "But I want to explain it to you, I don't want you to misunderstand me." Although Chu Shi'an's indifferent expression made her feel a little frustrated, she still cheekily grabbed Chu Shi'an's hand again.
"An Shijin, I think I should probably make it clear to you, don't work me, it's useless, I said, I don't like women." Chu Shi'an broke free from An Shijin's hand holding her again, stood up with the Wen Jiàn bag, his lips pursed slightly, and he looked down at An Shijin seriously, and there seemed to be a little impatience in his dark pupils.
"Oh, did you say that, maybe I forgot." An Shi frowned, self-deprecating lips and smiled, his heart slightly ached. Maybe this is retribution, she used to fall in love with different women, and in order to get rid of some women who were pestering her, she tried all kinds of ways to break their hearts and make them die. And now that she is in love with Chu Shi'an, a woman who disdains her, maybe this is retribution for her previous lack of seriousness in her relationship.
After that, the two drove together to find the victim's parents, and An Shijin was rare silent along the way, and did not stare at Chu Shi'an, but leaned on the car window and looked out. The long and slightly curly hair hung down softly on the thin shoulders, the white slim shirt was slightly wide, and this slender figure seemed to lose its vitality in an instant.
Chu Shi'an drove the car seriously, occasionally his eyes fell on An Shijin's depressed back, his mouth opened and closed slightly, and there was a trace of annoyance in his dark eyes. She obviously didn't say anything wrong or did anything wrong, but why did she feel unbearable to blame herself when she saw An Shijin so sad, this strange and unscientific sense of guilt made her a little upset.
The place where Chu Shi'an and An Shijin are going is the home of the victim Guo Yimei. According to the information given by the previous client, Guo Meimei's father died of illness when she was very young, and her mother did not remarry after that, but took her to open a small pharmacy called Chengxin Pharmacy on a street near the suburbs, which is still in operation.
I drove to an old street, and saw a large group of people in front of the shop called Chengxin Pharmacy from a distance, and it seemed that something was happening in front of the shop. The voice was so loud that Chu Shi'an, who was even a hundred meters away, seemed to hear some words "roll" and "death". Chu Shi'an and An Shijin perked up and glanced at each other, both of them guessing what was going on. Hurriedly got out of the car and ran over, pushing aside the crowd, sure enough.
Zhang Shulan and Wenxuan, the two husbands and wives who entrusted them with the case, were kneeling in front of a woman. "Get out, it was your daughter who killed my daughter, and you still have the face to run to my house, and you still want to dig up the body of your eyebrows, you inhuman dogs, you will be damned." A pale and thin woman with an excited look was holding this broom and scolding, if it weren't for her being pulled by a few people behind her, looking at her like that, I'm afraid she would rush up and beat someone.
"Sister Cai, we don't want your daughter's death either, we beg you, you let us test it again, our daughter may really be wronged." Zhang Shulan's hair was scattered, her body was wet and dirty, as if she had been splashed with some dirty water, the skin on her forehead was broken and bleeding, her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was miserable and begging, and she slammed her head on the ground at once. "Yes, Sister Cai, just when we beg you, those three children are as old as your daughter, if they are really wronged, this destruction is the life of the three children." Wen Xuan, who wore eyes, looked even more miserable than Zhang Shulan, his face was clearly marked with red palm marks, half of his face was swollen, he leaned over in a low voice, and pleaded bitterly with his wife.
"Wronged, the police have found out, the judges have pronounced the verdict, and you still have the face to say that you are wronged. ruined the lives of the three of them, what about my eyebrows, she is dead, I will never see her again. My poor child is dead, and you have to dig up her body, whether you have humanity or not. The victim's mother, the broom in her hand fell to the ground, hot tears fell down along the old wrinkles on her face, drop by drop, her body staggered backwards, the desperate and painful look in her cloudy eyes, and the heart-rending cry, which made people feel a burst of desolation in their hearts.
"Let's go, let's go." The crowd gathered on the side all began to chase people with righteous indignation on their faces. "Taught a murderer, and have the face to ask for a corpse, it's really such a parent to teach such a beast." When the situation was about to deteriorate further, Chu Shi'an and An Shijin pushed away the crowd and helped Zhang Shulan and Wen Xuan out. blocked those hateful faces and spitting, and brought them back to the car together.
Originally, they came here to learn about the victim's mother, and by the way, they could get her consent to reopen the coffin for an autopsy. It's just that looking at today's situation, if they open their mouths, I'm afraid they will also be driven away, and the gains outweigh the losses. So it was better to take Wen Zhang and his wife away first.
Zhang Shulan and Wen Xuan, who got into the car, never opened their mouths except for saying thank you in a hoarse voice when they got in the car. The two sat in the back seat, bowing their heads and weeping. He is obviously a middle-aged man in his thirties who is well-dressed, but his face is yellow and thin, and he looks like a fifty-year-old person.
The place where the couple lived was an ordinary residential building, and the dimly lit corridor had no soundproofing effect, and you could hear the crying of children, the noise of men and women, and the sizzle of stir-frying. Zhang Shulan and Wen Xuan led the way in front, the two of them were limping step by step, but the hands of the two were still tightly held, facing the darkness in front of them, step by step firmly and staggering forward, the two overlapped together, and the thin figure stretched longer and longer in the corridor.
Chu Shi'an and An Shijin silently followed behind them, their eyes following their figures. Perhaps, this is the greatness of ordinary parents. At the beginning, the three girls were arrested at the same time, and the parents of the other two girls did not have Wen Xuan and Zhang Shulan, they always believed that their daughter did not commit a crime, endured spitting and looking for evidence everywhere to petition, asking for a retrial of the case, looking for a private detective to investigate the case, but moved out of H City and left this place, discarding their daughter. The actions and persistence of the Wen family and his wife were also the fundamental reason why Chu Shi'an did not hesitate to take on the case at the beginning.
When they reached the end of the hallway, the couple stopped in front of a spray-sprayed door. The old wooden door was sprayed with red lacquer and the murderer. Zhang Shulan raised her hand and wiped the words on the door with her sleeve, but no matter how hard she wiped it, she didn't lose any color, and the four big characters were so bright and eye-catching lying quietly on the door. Wen Xuan turned around and said with some tiredness and bitterness: "Although it has been a year, there are always some people who still remember this incident, every time we wiped the words on the door, we sprayed it again, and then we simply didn't wipe it." When the case is cleared up one day, if Min Er really kills someone, we will keep these words for the rest of our lives, and if Min Er is really wronged, we will change this door and replace it with a beautiful door. ”
The house of the Wen family is not big, with two bedrooms and one living room, and the decoration is quite beautiful. It's just a little messy, some clothes are littered on the sofa, a layer of soot is covered on the coffee table, and some cigarette butts are scattered on the ground. The curtains were tightly drawn, and the room was a little dark, and I could vaguely smell the damp smell of sunlight that I hadn't seen for a long time.
"I'm really sorry, Miss Chu, Miss An, it's a bit messy in the house. Originally, my wife was a very clean person, but after this incident, we didn't have the heart to clean up anymore. Wen Xuan smiled apologetically, the corners of his lips were obviously smiling, but it made people feel like they were crying.
This room seems to be full of pictures of the once warm past, and one wall is full of awards, from the good baby in kindergarten to the three good students in high school. There are also those posted handwritten sketches, ranging from slightly childish to delicately abstract. In the middle of the wall hung a big family photo, the gentle Wenxuan, the gentle and virtuous Zhang Shulan, and the smiling girl with a ponytail in the middle.
