Wang Qing and his wife looked at Yu Qian, whose temperament had changed greatly, if the two of them had no doubts about Yu Qian's behavior of pulling him to eat at the beginning, it would be a joke. But no matter how you say it, after all, Yu Qian is the identity of the people's police, although the two of them feel that it is not normal, but they do not suspect him. At this time, Yu Qian suddenly said that he wanted to talk about his daughter, and the two didn't know how to respond for a while.

"What do you mean, Officer Fish?" Wang Qing put his arm around Mutona and asked cautiously

"In fact, after receiving the report on the first day, the results of our on-site investigation basically concluded that the case was an accident." Yu Qian replied with a slight smile, "After that, the autopsy results and various investigations also confirmed this inference, in fact, according to the process at this time, the case will be transferred to the police station in the jurisdiction for follow-up processing, and our criminal police will withdraw and close the case." ”

"Then, what do you mean about Wenwen's death?" Mu Tona heard this, and understood Yu Qian's words

"Yes and no." Yu Qian flicked the cigarette ash lightly, "That's why I want to discuss this matter with you in a more private setting." ”

"Does it have anything to do with your daughter?"

"Yes, I should say that I want to have a relationship with my daughter."

"Can you explain it to us?"

"Of course." Yu Qian pressed the cigarette butt on the plate, "It's also a long story, but I'm not good at telling stories. ”

"After I was demobilized from the army, I went to the police station, married my wife, and gave birth to a daughter. She looks so cute, a lot like her mother, and that's the pearl of my applause. My parents left early, so I hope my daughter can get a different family from me, intact. I poured all my love into her, and she was all I had in my life. ”

Speaking of his daughter, Yu Qian's face showed a rare tenderness, and even his tone became much lighter.

"My job is special, and my free time is very unstable. I discussed with my wife that she should leave the textile factory and stay at home as a full-time housewife to accompany the children. I just want my children to get more company from their parents, but I ignore my wife's feelings. Soon she felt that she was too bored at home every day, and at first she just went out to play cards every day, and I didn't care. But then, she became religious. Yu Qian's tone was low, casting a thick shadow.

"Impersonating a religious group?" Wang Qing asked, "How can we have a lot of pretending to be regular religious missionaries, specifically targeting the old ladies at home to preach, and tricking them into donating money." ”

"Perhaps, I don't know what their name is, but after the incident, I started to investigate and found that the sect had evaporated as if it didn't exist. Before the incident, I thought it was just a small illegal sect in the name of religion, pretending to hold some gatherings to cheat a little money. In addition, my wife said that it was to pray for her daughter, and I didn't want to quarrel with her because of these trivial things. Yu Qian took out another cigarette and put it in his hand, but did not light it.

"Later, I gradually realized that something was wrong, and my daughter became more and more reticent, and every time I communicated with my daughter, she didn't talk much, as if she was afraid of something. The next day, I noticed some unnatural bruises on my daughter's body. I was furious and asked my wife what was going on, but she only said that it might have been a child who had accidentally touched something. She may have forgotten my profession, whether it was a lie or a bruise, it was familiar to me. It was impossible for her to think so perfunctory. ”

"Was it your wife who beat you?" Mutona asked curiously

"She later admitted that it was because her daughter was naughty, and she started beating her." Yu Qian lit the cigarette and took a deep breath, staring at the cigarette butt with both eyes, and the light reflected in the depths of his pupils was bright and uncertain, as if two torches had been lit. "The moment I heard her say this, I felt a deep fear in my heart, because I could feel that she was lying!"

"I knew that if I asked any more, it would not lead to anything, so I just told her that it was normal for children to be naughty, and not to hit children. From the next day, I was not in the mood to go to work, so I crouched in the neighborhood every day under the pretext of visiting and investigating, avoiding my wife's gaze, and I wanted to find out what was going on. ”

"So, what about later?"

"On the third day of my stay, I saw my wife go out with her daughter. I went to the church she attended, and that night I found a new bruise on my daughter's body. Yu Qian said this, as if he was trying to swallow something, the Adam's apple rolled vigorously, and the cigarette in his hand ignited a long line of soot.

"Was he beaten by someone from the church?" Mutona asked with concern

"I also wanted to know about it, and that night after my repeated questioning I learned that the church was somewhat similar to the Flagellants. She said everything was for her daughter's good, and we had a big fight. All the unpleasantness of my previous life was turned over by her, and she accused me of not caring about my family and her feelings. We've never had such a serious argument before, and she's mentioned getting a divorce countless times. ”

"So you're divorced?" Wang Qing and his wife were completely brought into Yu Qian's story and immersed in Yu Qian's narrative.

"No, I made the decision I regret the most in my life..."Yu Qian let out a long sigh

"I didn't want my daughter to have a broken family, so I compromised with her that I would come home earlier and spend more time with them, as long as she didn't take her daughter to that religious meeting again. She ostensibly promised me, but in fact she had been brainwashed by that church for a long time, and I went to investigate the church the next day, but I couldn't find out who the real organizer was, and I thought it was over. But unexpectedly, this is the beginning. ”

"My wife still has secret contact with the people in that church, but more secretly. At that time, I also felt guilty about her because I didn't take enough care of my family before, and I relaxed my vigilance. Just when I thought everything was on track, the nightmare struck......"

Speaking of this, Yu Qian's tone calmed down, the cramped voice could not hear a trace of waves, the dull spring thunder rumbling outside the window, the dense clouds rolling, the heavy breath pressed people out of breath, and the private room fell into a long silence.

Wang Qingfu didn't urge, they knew that the reason why Yu Qian said so much before was because he didn't know what to say next. When people talk about what they don't want to say, they will always become very verbose, and they will accumulate strength and courage little by little. Mutona knows this well.

As if a century had passed, Yu Qian suddenly straightened up and threw the cigarette that was burning in his hand and only his buttocks into the plate. Suddenly, he spoke in a low and fast voice

"When I got home that day, I found it very quiet, and I called out to my wife, but I couldn't hear a response. I walked into the bedroom and pushed the door open, and saw Yaoyao with two ballpoint pens in her eyes, covered in injuries, hanged on the balcony..."

"Ahh Wang Qing and his wife exclaimed that they were born at the same time, although Yu Qian didn't mention it before, but they knew that "Yaoyao" must be the name of Yu Qian's daughter

"Was he killed by someone from the church?" Mutona asked cautiously

"Nope." Yu Qian raised his head and smiled miserably, "It's suicide, Yaoyao was only six years old at the time, and she committed suicide at home." ”

"How is that possible! How could such a young child..."Wang Qing didn't know what to say for a while, Yu Qian's words to describe his daughter's death were light and fast, only two short sentences. But every word was so suffocating that he couldn't say it. "What about the police? What do the cops do for food?! Would those police officers believe that such a young child would commit suicide like this? ”

"Yes, the results of the on-site investigation showed that it was suicide, suicide without a doubt. Fingerprints, eyewitnesses, details of the scene, all testify that it was a suicide. Yu Qian said lightly

"How is that possible! Did you believe the of the police at the time! Wang Qing looked incredulous

"Yes, because I was one of those police officers at the time, and I found out this."

"This..."Wang Qing was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Yu Qian was also a policeman at that time

"What about your wife?" Mutona is much calmer than her husband, and keenly notices that there is a key person missing from Yu Qian's narrative

"She's gone to church." Yu Qian's voice did not carry a trace of emotion, "As soon as she received the notice, she cursed me viciously, saying that I killed my daughter, if I hadn't forbade her to take her daughter to church, then Yaoyao wouldn't have died." ”

Wang Qing and his wife were dumbfounded when they heard this, how could Yu Qian's wife be so upset.

"I'm no longer interested in who is responsible, and I can't accept that it was suicide. I used all the means and strength at my disposal to investigate, I went from house to house, and every mouse that appeared in the neighborhood around that day I would catch even a mouse and count how many hairs it had. ”

"So did you find anything?"

"No, nothing, the more you check, the more it turns out to be a suicide."

"That's... What about the church? Wang Qing asked

"No, there's no clue at all, it's like it never existed, it's all gone. It was as if all the people in the community who had joined that church had lost their memories overnight. The church they were describing was no different from any ordinary church, and they didn't know anything about the organizers or meeting places. It's like it never existed. Yu Qian squeezed out from between his teeth sentence by sentence, and his tense bite muscles propped up his jaw.

"And then?" Mutona asked

"Later? Later, it seemed that everyone accepted Yaoyao's death, according to the principle that the murder case in the police station must be solved, I couldn't come up with evidence to overturn the suicide, and the case was closed according to suicide, so everyone returned to their lives step by step. Even my wife began to persuade me not to worry about it anymore, saying that we are still young and can have another one..."Yu Qian's voice became lower and lower, and he could barely hear it in the end.

"Could it be that Yaoyao should have died so inexplicably!! Does my daughter deserve to die!! Yu Qian slapped the table and roared suddenly, and a spring thunder exploded outside the window at the same time, and the world was white! Yu Qian leaned forward with a hideous face, his chest heaving violently and letting out a heavy gasping sound like a bellows, like a demon god crawling out of hell in the dazzling lightning.

Wang Qing and his wife were shocked by Yu Qian and were so frightened that they couldn't speak for a long time.

"I'm sorry, I lost my temper..."Yu Qian leaned back on the back of the chair, pulled out a third cigarette and lit it

"So, Officer Fish, what do you mean... My daughter's death is the same as your daughter's death, is it unusual? Mutona asked

"I can't say for sure, but when I arrived that day, I felt like I had gone back to that day 10 years ago. I can smell the smell in the air. In fact, I also found a lot of counterintuitive details at the scene, such as..."Yu Qian explained to Wang Qing and his wife what were the doubts about Ma Wen's death and the lost package, but he still concealed the fact that Li Yaozhan stole the courier.

"In addition to this, the two cases have one thing in common." Yu Qian stretched out his left hand and raised a finger

"I didn't find out the specific identity of the church organizer, but I did find some clues. In both cases, there was a deceased's close relative who was obsessed with mysticism, and both because of a..."Yu Qian paused slightly

"Tall, emaciated man in a black coat and top hat!"
