Chapter 14: The Shadows
June 22nd
In a medical school classroom, students are listening attentively or listlessly. Many of them regret their choice of major. It is said that human beings do not know as much about their own organisms as they do about the vast universe. As for medical students at the undergraduate level, knowing which medical book to look for answers to when they encounter a problem is considered to be successful in their studies.
The person who was talking eloquently on the podium was Jin Hongwei. Compared to giving a keynote speech, it is naturally much easier to give a lesson to students. After all, in this classroom, he is the only authority. Once a person is blessed by authority, even if there is a slight stutter between words, he can deal with it calmly. The textbook on the desk was clean, and there were no sketching notes on the page that was spread out. Before the class, Jin Hongwei did not prepare for it, and he was already familiar with the content to be taught. When he was still in school, he told the backward students in the department many times about the difficulties, who made him a top student since he was a child? This may also be due to genetics.
The qualifications of these students are quite average. At least in the eyes of doctors, none of them can compare to themselves when they were in school. Teaching is a task for the purpose of selecting titles, just as he did when he represented the department at academic summits. In fact, he prefers "healing and saving people" to "preaching and solving doubts"; He prefers the ward office to the classroom. Jin Hongwei has a natural sense of rejection for the campus. This is because he and Ni Xianyan met on campus, when the woman was still studying for an undergraduate, and he was already a graduate student with a master's and a doctorate. Second, the green campus has left him with a heavy sense of guilt, and as for the reason, I am afraid that only the doctor himself knows.
At the mouth of an alley 10 kilometers away from the classroom, seven or eight old brothers around Tian Yanlun looked at each other with a group of young old boys. The "post-waves" are always thinking about getting ahead, no matter whether the field they are involved in is black or white.
"I said how old are you, old man, so let's take the mountain and go home and lie down." The person who spoke to Tian Yanlun had a "non-mainstream" hairstyle, and the grass green was very dazzling and funny. Looking at the face, this "non-mainstream" is at least two rounds younger than Tian Yanlun.
"When you came out to mingle, you were still wearing open crotch pants. You raw melons and eggs, fucking fuck. I also put a green hat on my head, if I were your father, I would have to shave you. Look at the green ones. The old rivers and lakes standing around Tian Qianlun all snorted. There was a lot of evil in their laughter, and the hooligan ruffian jumped on their faces.
"Laugh at your mother, laugh, look at yourself, a bald head like a light bulb. There are also the ones next to them, with a hairline that looks like the Mediterranean. I'll go, are you going to team up to shoot bald heads? The young men did not show weakness, and laughed lewdly one by one, and they laughed more presumptuously and loudly than the old fellows opposite.
In order to grab the territory, Tian Yanlun and the "non-mainstream" each brought their "brothers" to fight here. The eldest brother who was in the limelight back then has now become a stumbling block and a roadblock for the back waves. History is always strikingly similar. I think that when he Tian was also at the age of a little child, he "took over" the current country from the hands of another big brother. If it were 10 years ago, he might still have the capital to surrender without a fight, but now, he is really old. Also useless are the brothers under him, the old men are shy one by one, supporting the scene.
"Old thing, what do you say, do you obediently let those shops out, or are you going to eat some bitter flesh and skin?"
"Bitter skin? Whoever has a skin and a throat for a while, who is a grandson. The skin and flesh are bitter, hum, see if Lao Tzu doesn't smoke you to death. ”
Although the cruel words are beautiful, when the two groups of people meet each other in close combat, the scene is not as beautiful as expected. It is said that boxing is afraid of being less strong, and these young people are not light or heavy. Uncles can only rely on their own experience and weight. They prefer to take each other to the ground and then use their unskilled ground skills to wrestle them with their unskilled punches in place. It is undeniable that although Tian Yanlun is not as tiger as he was back then, he is still the one who can fight the most. Even though he was gasping for breath at the moment, his cheekbones were swollen from the punch. However, after killing the red eyes, Lao Tian's face was still full of excitement. In this battle, he wants to prove for himself and prove that he is still the old man who is dominant.
The fists and feet were not long-sighted, and Lao Zhao stumbled and crashed into the telephone pole on the side of the road. It took several seconds for him to cover his nose and come to his senses. Blood gushing from his nose was like turning on a faucet. Several old fellows looked at him in unison. Lao Zhao was strong, he waved his hand, meaning that he was fine. But the puddle of blood at his feet was staking and spreading with great ambition. Tian Yanlun, who was closest to Lao Zhao, stared at the pool of blood, and froze there for a while, unable to move. The battle situation has always changed rapidly, and without the participation of a tiger general like him, the Uncle Gang gradually fell into disadvantage. The old brothers began to be overwhelmed, and they called out one after another, "Lao Tian, Brother Tian." But Tian Qilun turned a deaf ear to this like a deaf man. His sleepwalking state didn't end until he was punched in the nose again. The starry Venus also announced that his "era" has officially come to an end.
Several uncles, including Lao Zhao, were injured, and the bright red of that place finally overshadowed the limelight of the "green hat". The neighbors were afraid of causing death, so they called the police. As a result, there was no suspense, and more than a dozen people squatted in the public security bureau together. It's been a long time since I've seen such a lively scene.
Miao Yixin walked in from the door. He originally planned to ask Tian Yanlun again about the case, but he couldn't find anyone else in the world, and finally learned that Tian was taken to the district bureau through internal channels. At this time, Tian Yanlun was being questioned in another room, and several old brothers took advantage of the boss's absence, and they exchanged their heads one after another:
"I said Lao Tian, what's the matter, this time I can obviously kill those bastards. I didn't expect him to drop the chain at the last moment. ”
"That's right, we still had the upper hand at the beginning, and he was good, just like he fell into evil."
"I broke the bridge of my nose and the blood flowed like that, and I didn't get it. Brother Tian is really, hey......." When Lao Zhao said this, the cotton balls in his nostrils were dyed black. He had a disdainful expression on his face, as if he was thinking of setting up another mountain.
"I see, you're also a master of no score. The boss was quite horizontal at first, and he just saw the puddle of blood you shed and seemed to be a different person. ”
"Can this also be on my head? I said he wouldn't be fainting from blood. ”
"Isn't it, I've been with the boss for 20 years, and I didn't find out that he had this problem?"
"It's hard to say, the last time we were injured on a large scale, he wasn't locked up yet."
"When he went in, he didn't bleed all over the ground, and I didn't see him cowardly."
……
These complaints inadvertently got into Miao Yixin's ears. He was led into the interrogation room by another police officer. When Tian Yanlun saw Miao Yixin's arrival, he muttered in his heart again. After Officer Miao explained his intention to the police in the room, he stood in front of the suspect with a blue nose and swollen face.
"Yo, Tian Yanlun, are you being bullied?"
"Hmph, honorably wounded."
"I just heard that it was because of your precipice that you avoided a bigger mistake." Miao Yixin deliberately stimulated this "old fritter".
"I said, what are you doing here? Your case is none of my business. ”
"It's none of your business, you know it in your heart, do you know Wu Chunxiu?"
"Wu Chunxiu? Who is it? ”
"Have you ever been to the counter in X Square Y to buy something?" Miao Yixin repeatedly confirmed the possibility that Tian Yanlun and Wu Chunxiu knew each other.
"I've been to X Square, and Y's counter sells things for women, what should I buy them for?"
"Do you know Yang Yueqing?"
"I don't know."
"And do you faint blood?"
"I ...... You're just fainting in blood. ”
"When I was fighting just now, how did I hear that you stopped when you saw blood?"
"I was physically exhausted, and my heart suddenly felt uncomfortable." Tian Yanlun swore and swore that he couldn't make another gesture of covering his chest with his hands.
"Okay, you're not too young. Don't wield a knife or a gun at this age. ”
"I said officer, don't catch me all day long. Did you solve that case? You can catch the prisoner quickly, and you can return my innocence. Tian Yanlun took all the anger of the defeat on Miao Yixin's head, and the police officer just smiled and patted Lao Tian's shoulder.
"You, don't pretend."
After Miao Yixin left the substation, he hurriedly drove to the prison where Tian Yilun had served his sentence and found the prison guard who was in charge of Miao Yixin at that time.
"It's really hard to say whether Tian Yanlun faints or not. But there was indeed a blood-related incident while he was serving his sentence. ”
"Oh? Could you please elaborate? ”
"That's when he first came in. At that time, he was being held with another prisoner surnamed Jiang. Come to think of it, that person's name seems to be Jiang ...... Jiang Qi fan. That's right, Jiang Qi fan. The person suffered from depression and mania. The medical conditions in prison are just like that. Unfortunately, Tian Yanlun grinds his teeth when he sleeps. Jiang Qi fanned this person so he and Tian Yanlun didn't deal with it very well, and the two often quarreled.
Once, when they were out of the wind, they had a quarrel over some trivial things. Unexpectedly, this time Jiang Qi Fan suddenly rushed towards Tian Qilun, and then took out a piece of glass that had been hidden in advance. The people around thought that Tian Yanlun would suffer miserably. Unexpectedly, Jiang Qifan cut his throat in front of Tian Yanlun. As soon as the carotid artery broke, the blood spurted, hey. Before he fell, the blood was like a shower, splashing all over Tian Qianlun's face. Until Jiang Qifan was carried away, Tian Qilun stood there alone. We're like this here, we're so ruthless that we're afraid of being horizontal, and we're afraid of perverts. ”
"Has the prisoner surnamed Jiang been rescued?"
The prison guard shook his head, "For several days in a row, Tian Yanlun didn't eat much, his face was full of dark circles, and he lost a lot of weight. I guess this left a big shadow on him. Then we put him in a single room. ”
In the world, there are many different ways to retaliate, one of which is to achieve "the shadow is accompanied by shadows, and the ghost does not go away." ". Regarding Tian Yanlun's encounter, Miao Yixin expressed some sympathy. However, as the saying goes, poor people must have something to hate, and Tian is no exception.
June 23rd
When Liu Chuanrong reappeared at the police station, he was carrying two bags of candy. It turned out that he took a day off yesterday because he was busy going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get his certificate. Koyanagi's love has been talked about for 8 years, from studying to working, with several ups and downs in the middle, and has gone through divisions and mergers; Fortunately, after some ups and downs, the lover still achieved a positive result. It is said that the woman's family is in business, and the background is quite solid, and the wedding house and wedding car are properly prepared.
The office was filled with the sound of candy stripping. While eating candy happily, colleagues did not forget to joke with the groom:
"Xiaoyanagi, you can. This is the first time I have seen the scene of the man moving in directly with his bag. ”
"That's right, Brother Liu. Does my sister-in-law have any similar girlfriends? Fertilizer and water don't flow into outsiders' fields, so just introduce me to it. I look at you, and I don't want to work hard anymore. ”
"What you said is not right, you don't look at how hard it takes to talk about people who fall in love for eight years."
Everyone, you and I are firing the cannon word by word, and Liu Chuanrong is suffering word by word. It wasn't until the end that he responded:
"What kind of house, car, just pass through me here. At the end of the day, it's not my two children? Every generation has worked hard all their lives, isn't it all working for their own children? ”
He said this so loudly that even Miao Yixin, who was sitting in the corner, heard it. Suddenly, the latter frowned, and the candy wrapper in his palm became tighter and tighter, making a sizzling sound.
"Xiao Liu, you work hard, take Xiao Li and Xiao Wang to the pediatrics department of the hospital near Ni Xianyan's house, as well as the hospital where Jin Hongwei works. Check whether there are any medical records of their children in the three months before the incident. ”
"Team Miao, you suspect that the case is related to the children of the two." The professionalism prompted the groom to bounce off his seat.
"Well, let's check it out first." Saying that, Miao Yixin took on his police hat, got up and walked out the door.
"Team Miao, where are you going?"
"I'll go see that kid again."
The sky was painted black, and the streetlights that had been drowsy became dazzling. In the community's open-air basketball court, Jin Hongwei was wearing a beige sleeveless T-shirt and dark nylon shorts, sweating like rain. Among his rare sportswear, the most eye-catching is the limited edition Jordan 18th generation basketball shoes. The shoelaces on the bevel are woven vertically and horizontally, like a chessboard.
In recent years, street culture has quietly emerged. Once a lot of things are tied to culture, there's room to write a story. As a result, sneakers are like stocks, and they are speculated by all kinds of businessmen and players. The blue and white shoes on Jin Hongfu's feet are very dazzling, and the market price must be expensive. In the opinion of doctors, no matter how good shoes are, they can only be used when they are worn on the feet. However, this pair of Joe 18 has also been taken care of, except for the wrinkles formed by the upper due to sports extrusion, it is difficult to tell that it is a pair of combat boots that have repeatedly galloped on the "battlefield".
Even though it is a good pair of shoes, it cannot make up for the lost athleticism of the shoe owner. In high school, he could barely touch the basket when he jumped, and now he can't touch the rebound no matter how hard he tries, but the low-handed layup posture is still the same. Who would have thought that this superficially weak scholar was still an athlete many years ago.
After these days of getting along, Xiaobao no longer recognizes his father. At the far end of the court, Jin Hongwei's daughter was staring at the basketball and bounced off the ground and fell again and again. The doll is not stable when she walks, and her ass twists and turns like a cute little penguin. The nanny Fan Juan followed behind the girl, for fear that she would make a mistake.
Po pounces on the basketball, and the ball rolls out. Just when the child's body was out of balance, Fan Juan lifted it up. But the little creature didn't intend to learn her lesson, and as soon as she stood firm, she stumbled towards the basketball again. Seeing this, Jin Hongwei grabbed the basketball first and ran near the three-point line. He aimed at the basket, and just as he was about to make a move, Xiaobao ran directly under the basketball hoop without realizing it. At the moment of the shot, the doctor increased the arc and strength of the projection. The basketball smashed straight into the rebound, making a loud "bang" and rebounding far away. After the ball hit the ground, it looked like it was about to roll out of the field, but it was picked up by another big hand.
With the help of the street lamp, Jin Hongwei saw the appearance of the comer. In the past half month, he and the policeman opposite have almost become old acquaintances.
"How did Officer Miao find here?"
"When I think of you two, I'll come and have a look."
At this time, Xiaobao also walked over. She gestured to the basketball in the detective's hand, meaning to want. Miao Yixin felt that this little guy was much more lively than the last time they met. He put the basketball on the ground, and Xiaobao pressed his body against it. Before it lasted 2 seconds, the ball slid out again, and this time Fan Juan didn't have time to pick up Xiaobao, maybe because of Miao Yixin's relationship standing there.
"Let's take the kids to the side, I'll talk to Officer Miao." Jin Hongwei rarely gave instructions to the nanny directly.
"You look like you're recovering well." Miao Yixin looked into the distance as he spoke.
"The days have to look forward, for the sake of my daughter, I have to hold on."
"You can sacrifice everything for her, right?"
The detective seems to have something to say. The doctor turned to the barbed wire fence on the side: "We've all been warmed by our loved ones, haven't we?" ”
"When I first started in this industry, I thought that people without faith were the most terrible people and would dare to do anything. But now I find that people with faith are the most stubborn, sometimes so stubborn that they are unreasonable. ”
"What the hell are you trying to say, officer?" A gust of wind blew, the leaves rustled outside the barbed wire, and the doctor's body stopped sweating, and every hair stood on stand on guard in alarm.
"One thing suddenly occurred to me today. After Ni Xianyan died, the house you bought actually belonged to Ni Xianyan's husband, Song Kexian, as well as Ni Xianyan's parents and her children. However, Song Kexian accounted for the majority of them. ”
"So what?"
"But now Song Kexian is dead. Maybe you already know that his parents are dead. So the part of the property in his name will automatically be inherited by your daughter. And Ni Xianyan is an only child, and her parents are such a granddaughter. So in effect, your children will inherit the entire property. Of course, if you and Ni Xianyan hadn't divorced, this property would undoubtedly be your child's. Now these two cases have happened, and they have come full circle, and it seems that they have returned to their original owners, right? ”
The wind blew stronger and stronger, bringing up bursts of sand and dust, and Jin Hongfu instinctively squinted.
"So you suspect that I killed Song Kexian in order to let my children inherit the property, right?" This slightly provocative sentence does not seem to come from the mouth of a weak scholar.
"I think you're a man of faith."
"Killing Song Kexian just for real estate sounds crazy. As long as I am given time, as long as I want, I can make my own claim on that property through legal means. Moreover, Ni Xianyan's parents also supported me in doing so. I'm a reader, and there's no need to deal with problems in the most radical way of killing. ”
The wind hummed the barbed wire fence and upset people to hear. Jin Hongwei raised his foot and gently kicked the barbed wire, which made Miao Yixin notice the pair of Jordan basketball shoes on his feet. The officer looked at the shoe in a daze, as if he were looking at an old object that had been lost for many years.
"Officer, even if I really have a motive to kill Song Kexian, I stayed with Director Ruan that night." Jin Hongwei seems to have always kept this killer feature, just to use it at such a critical moment.
"You're right. But what makes me think you're not the murderer isn't really the alibi. ”
"What's that?"
"I don't think you will kill Ni Xianyan."
"So, you think the two murders were committed by the same person?"
"You're smart, but I don't have anything to say about the details of the case."
"I wish you a speedy case."
"I also want to ask, how old were you when your parents died?"
"I've heard people say I'm only 2 years old."
"Listen to whom?"
"The people of the orphanage."
"But when you went to the orphanage, you were nine years old."
"So what?"
"Where did you spend the 7 years in between?"
"Probably another orphanage."
"But there are no handover documents in the orphanage. There's only one sentence in your file, 'Alone at the door of the orphanage'. ”
"For me, an orphanage is a synonym, a place where orphans can be sheltered; a place where orphans can temporarily forget their identity; A place where we can go wild. An abandoned factory, a carefree summer. ”
"You'll be a good father."
"Huh?"
"I said you would be a good father. Often, what was missing in the previous generation is made up for in the next. ”
"You mean because I'm an orphan."
"Not really."
"So, Officer Miao, what are you visiting today?"
"Finding answers."
"Did you find it?"
Miao Yixin lowered his head, looked at Jin Hongfu's shaking feet again, and smiled without saying a word.
The nearest street lamp flickered a few times and went out. Jin Hongfu's half of his silver hair disappeared into the night. When Miao Yixin walked out of the court, the wind stopped, and the dust gradually fell. The names of Jin Hongwei, Yang Yueqing, Wu Chunxiu, and Song Kexian once again surfaced in the hearts of the criminal police.
