CHAPTER XXI
The criminals who killed the declared were not men, but a beautiful womanβthe woman who gave life to Si Wang.
On the night of Qixi Festival, Ye Xiao took He Qingying and Si Wang's mother and son to leave the witch area and came to the highest chimney. He Qingying pointed to the broken wall with the word "forbidden area" written on it and said: "On the night of the murder, I buried the murder weapon in the ground. β
Ye Xiao was just about to prepare digging tools, but Si Wang had already scraped the ground with both hands. It had been raining for the past few days, and the soil was loose and soft, and soon it was dug more than half a foot deep, but there were all kinds of rotten grass roots and bones.
"I'll do it."
He Qingying pushed his son away, buried his head in the pit desperately, and did not dig out a black thing until his hands were covered with blood.
She wiped the dirt from the knife with the corner of her coat, and although it was rusty, it was still dazzling in the light of the flashlight.
"This is the murder weapon that killed Shen."
Ye Xiao put the knife into the evidence bag, put the murder suspect in the police car, and drove directly to the public security bureau.
That night, the director personally came out to see He Qingying, and Ye Xiao still made the interrogation transcript. She confessed to two murders on Rest Road in 1983 and Nanming Road in 1995. The murder weapon that killed the stated murder will be used as the most important physical evidence to be identified and compared with the forensic report.
The last question - she has carefully concealed the secret for so many years, but without conclusive evidence, she actually admitted it all in one go?
Ye Xiao guessed like this: In the past nearly twenty years, He Qingying was afraid that once he was arrested and put in prison, Wang'er would be alone, and he couldn't imagine how a child without a mother would grow up, maybe he would go down the wrong path.
Now that her son has grown up and her husband has returned to her by accident, she doesn't have to worry about it anymore. He Qingying said it with relief, and his heart must have been much refreshed.
It's relief.
Early in the morning, Si Wangcai came home, and his father didn't sleep all night, and he had received a notice from Ye Xiao. He Qingying passed the phone call with her husband - from now on, she will ask him Wang'er.
Si Wang rested his head on his shoulder and whispered softly, "Dad, I am your biological son." β
"Actually, when I was cutting sugar cane in South America, I figured out in my heart, even if you are not my own child, I will still treat you as a son! Wang'er, you don't know how happy I was when you were just born. β
Suddenly, Si Mingyuan took out a wallet, which looked quite old and had several holes, which He Qingying gave him before he got married. In the more than ten years of wandering, he has always stayed by his side, and there is a yellowed photo in his wallet, which is the full moon photo of Si Wang after he was born, this premature baby is particularly beautiful, but he shows a gloomy gaze like an adult.
"You've grown up!"
Compared with him in the photo, Si Mingyuan hugged his son tightly.
The next day, Si Wang went to Shen Yuanchao's house.
Ye Xiao was still one step ahead of him, and he had already called to report the case to the old prosecutor, which could be regarded as giving an explanation to the family of the deceased.
Shin Min was admitted to the university of her choice, but in another city, she was packing her bags and preparing to leave home. Two months ago, her Chinese teacher had an accident and was burned to death in an old house on Sabbath Road, and she was sad for a long time. On the bedside table in the boudoir, there is also a photo of the female teacher with her.
Si Wang faced the portrait of Shen Ming, and put on three incense sticks with Shen Min.
When parting, Si Wang still hugged Shen Yuanchao deeply, lay on the old man's shoulder, and whispered, "Please do me a favor......"
After half a minute of whispering, the retired prosecutor's face turned gray, and he lowered his head and replied: "You know what? I've always wanted to kill that guy with my own hands. β
"I know."
"Son, go home and don't let me see you again."
Si Wang had already walked outside the door and stubbornly turned back: "Please, I'll wait for your call!" β
Shen Yuanchao leaned against the door and was silent, only Shen Min chased him out, sent Si Wang downstairs, grabbed his arm and said, "What did you tell my dad?" β
"It's a secret."
"When can we meet again?"
"Wait until you graduate from college!"
"Can I kiss you?"
So, Si Wang closed his eyes, and Shin Min kissed him lightly on the cheek.
He rode away on his bicycle without looking back, tears streaming from the girl behind him.
A month later, school started.
In early autumn, on a bright morning, Si Mingyuan chartered a taxi, set off from the deserted village bookstore, and sent his son to S University, which was near the sea.
Si Wang carried the heavy suitcase, waved his hand to him and said, "Dad, go back, I will take care of myself!" β
He stepped into the university campus alone, with a banner hanging above his head welcoming new students, and a promotional video on the big screen scrolled with the portraits of previous presidents, including Gu Changlong.
Along the way, from time to time, girls looked back at him, and some people asked him what major he had. A senior sister rushed to receive him, took him to register and pay the fee, and went to see the teaching building and dormitory.
In the end, Si Wang looked at her in a daze and said, "Yin Yu? β
"Junior brother, do you know me?"
The female college student in front of her, with black hair in a shawl, light makeup on her face, and a knee-length floral dress, did not show any signs of a tomboy, but was a standard fair lady.
However, that face has not changed, more than three years ago on Nanming Road, the moment she was hit by a big truck, she was already a beautiful woman with short hair.
"Did you graduate from Nanming High School?"
"yes, how do you know?"
"My high school is also Nanming Middle School, and your junior high school and I are both Wuyi Middle School, and we used to be best friends."
"Really?" Facing the handsome guy in front of her, she was inexplicably excited, stirring the hair on her shoulders, and pretending to be shy, "I'm sorry, I really forgot everything!" Three years ago, shortly after the college entrance examination, I was in a car accident at the school gate. β
"It's a runaway earthmoving vehicle, right? At that time, I was on the scene, and I was the one who took you to the hospital. β
"It's just you! I woke up in a coma for four months, only to lose all my memories because of a severe brain hit. Originally, I had been admitted to the University of Hong Kong, but I could not adapt to the crowded and cramped environment of Hong Kong, so I had to return to the mainland to study. But I was the top student in the city's college entrance examination, and this university admitted me exceptionally. I'm sorry, I've heard that people used to call me a tomboy, but I don't think so, is that true? β
"Yin Yu, have you forgotten everything?"
"Occasionally, strange images and sounds will flash through my head, and that's it."
Looking at the blush on Yin Yu's cheeks, Si Wang looked up at the sky, and a sentence popped out between his teeth: "Bring me another bowl of Meng Po soup!" β
Forget, how nice it would be.
