35. Tenderness and sweetness

This kind of marriage is not a product of love, but a kind of transaction between the two parties to meet their own needs, the man needs a daughter-in-law, and the woman needs a city hukou, so an equivalent exchange is adopted. 【Latest chapter reading. To put it bluntly, the girl was selling herself to change her fate.

However, when Maddie heard the news, her heart lit up: yes, if a girl in the countryside can find a way out for herself in this way, why can't a young man in the countryside?

There are some big men in the city who can't find a partner, and there must be some big women who can't find a partner.

Maddie decided to go the "curve into the city" route.

Maddie understands that this is betraying herself. At that time, he thought tragically: What is it to sell yourself? A real manly husband can bend and stretch, endure hardships and hardships for the sake of his career and future, and he can go to the soup and fire, are you still afraid of marrying a city girl? The girl in the city is not a man-eating tiger.

Maddie asked the girl who was in the city to find him a partner in the city, and he quickly found it.

The big girl in this city is Meixin.

Meixin was two years older than him, and she was 26 years old that year. Because of the average appearance, and a little picky, so there has been no suitable object, the marriage is naturally not settled, the girl has not been married to the age of 26, it is already a small age, is the family of parents * a heart disease.

The blind date went very well.

Meixin took a fancy to the young and handsome Maddie at a glance.

Maddie also took a fancy to Meixin - not because Meixin was pretty, but because Meixin's father was a section chief of the Labor Bureau, who could handle the city hukou and arrange work for Maddie.

It's a combination of two needs, Maddie needs a city hukou, and Meixin needs a young and handsome man.

Now it sounds like an incredible story, but it was like that at the time, a man who has no job and no life has no right to pick and choose in love.

The woman's family insisted on marrying early, and insisted on getting married first and then getting a household registration and working. The meaning is very clear, I am afraid that the man will change the hexagram after opening the household registration first.

After a month of dating, Maddie and Meixin got married.

Maddie's fate has changed, the red city hukou is there, the official job of the state-run unit is there, and there is a stable family.

But the tragedy of an era is destined to happen.

Maddie decided to take the plunge.

Use the method of destroying Mei Xin to get rid of Mei Xin.

If he sacrificed love for the city hukou back then, then now he has to sacrifice the woman who gave him the city hukou for love.

So, there was the scene from 7 years ago......

Reservoir tourist area.

The green water is like a mirror, and the green mountains are reflected.

A couple of lovers boating on the lake, a small boat full of tenderness and honey.

A small boat gradually moved away from the group of boats and rowed towards the uninhabited area upstream of the reservoir.

A man and a woman on the boat, the men rowing the boat, the women playing in the water, the infatuated men and women are willing to go alone, fall in love in a farther place where no one is around, or make more intimate moves, which is already commonplace in the reservoir tourist area, and no one pays attention to the boat that Ye Yuan.

The boat rowed to an uninhabited surface upstream, surrounded by woods, and only the birds of the empty mountains could be heard.

The rowing man looked left and right, and suddenly his body leaned to one side, and his weight overturned the boat at once, and both men and women fell into the water. The woman obviously can't swim, she struggles up and down in the water, choking on the water, she is only two arms away from the man, she reaches out to the man for help, as long as the man stretches out his arm and pulls the woman, the woman will be saved......

The man obviously knows how to swim, and it is because he can swim that he always keeps a certain distance from the woman, and when the woman is forward, he is backward, and when the woman is backward, he is forward, and he also acts as if he can't swim, and he flutters and hits the water. But he just wouldn't reach out and take the woman's hand.

The drowning woman struggled in vain for a while, and finally sank into the water in despair.

Seeing that there was no one left and right, the man swam to the overturned boat, lying on the bottom of the boat like a dead dog, howling at the top of his throat: Help, someone has fallen into the water......

After a long time, another boat found the man and rescued him. The boat man went to the reservoir lifeboat to report again, and then the reservoir lifeboat came and fished out the poor woman's body in the place designated by the man, in the dim underwater world at a depth of several hundred meters......

The female is Meixin.

The man is Maddie.

At that time, they had just been married. They give the impression that they are a husband and wife in harmony, and they go to the reservoir to spend a Sunday together. People are sorry for the accident that happened to the couple, and of course Maddie also cried bitterly for the loss of his wife, and she didn't think about tea and dinner.

The police naturally wanted to investigate this drowning death, and they also suspected that Meixin's drowning death was a deliberate murder by Maddie, especially the little policeman Tang of the water police station who had just graduated from the police academy, and insisted that it was Maddie who murdered his wife, and during that time Maddie was worried and restless. Fortunately, the criminal police from the sub-bureau and Tang disagreed, and the case could not be concluded after investigation.

There are three reasons for this:

- Maddie and Meixin have a good relationship, they have been living in harmony since they got married, there have been no quarrels and frictions, and no other women have been found in Maddie's life. Maddie had no motive to kill his wife.

- Maddie himself could not swim, because he was closer to the overturned boat, and it was a great luck that he himself was spared from climbing into the boat and survived, and he could not save his wife who had fallen into the water, which was a pity, but it could not be regarded as a crime.

- Meixin has been drowned, and there is no physical evidence of Maddie's killing of Meixin in the Dangdang Reservoir. What's more, there is no witness. In the absence of human and material evidence, it is obviously difficult to convict Maddie of the crime.

In addition, according to the reservoir manager, this reservoir is very "gluttonous", and almost every summer during the tourist season there are fatal accidents, drowning from swimming, fishing, boating...... Although this is an imprecise statement, it also illustrates the simple truth that if there is water, someone will go into the water, and if someone goes into the water, someone will drown. From this point of view, Meixin's death does not seem surprising.

Therefore, Mei Xin's death was finally determined to be an accident.

Maddie was relieved.

Half a year later, he and Yan Yu got married.

No one doubts the marriage of Maddie and Yan Yu, and it is normal for young people to lose their wives and remarry. Because no one found out that he and Yan Yu had dealings before.

…… It's been 7 years since the incident, and Maddie never wants to think about it.

Unexpectedly, 7 years later, someone mentioned this incident again, and directly explained that he was the murderer, and forced him to surrender to the Public Security Bureau.

Maddie woke up from his own memories, and he felt like he was already drenched in a cold sweat. At that time, the house was still quiet, except for the "bang-bang-bang" sound from the circulator in the huge glass fish tank.

Maddie's head rested back on the couch as he saw the high-grade foam wallpaper on the ceiling, which drew a labyrinth-like pattern in front of his eyes. Maddie has a similar maze pattern in his brain, and he knows that the person who wrote the anonymous letter is hiding in the maze, and he is going to look in this maze, and he wants to find the person who wrote the anonymous letter. Who is the person who wrote the anonymous letter?

Maddie first thought of his current wife, Yan Yu.

Maddie believes that Yan Yu is the only person who knows the secret 7 years ago.

After the "drowning incident" in the reservoir 7 years ago calmed down, Maddie once told Yan Yu the details of the incident, and at that time they already had that kind of ambiguous relationship, but it was extremely secret and unknown. Sweeping away the obstacles to their marriage, he also secretly celebrated with Yan Yu. Yan Yu knows the whole plot of this incident, could it be Yan Yu who wrote this anonymous letter to threaten him?

Is it really a wife who reports her husband?

Maddie felt a thrill in her heart.

But he quickly dismissed the possibility.

Yan Yu didn't have to do this, what was she not satisfied with? Life is rich, there is everything at home, husband and wife never blush, and work is very smooth, why would she turn her face and push her husband to the public security bureau? In addition, Yan Yu will also affect herself if she does so, if she doesn't know about it, the law will at least pursue her for covering up.

Is it because of my affair with Shanshan that Yan Yu has hatred? Maddie thought.

No, I have already explained to Yan Yu, and agreed to the three conditions she put forward - at least verbally, I agreed, and this matter seems to be over on the surface.

So, is it because she found out about my murder attempt on her?

It is also impossible, although the murder plan of the alpine ski resort was aborted, there was no trace of me at the scene, and Yan Yu did not show the slightest suspicion at the time.

In addition, from the perspective of time, it is impossible for the anonymous letter to be written by Yan Yu.

Because Yan Yu was already on a business trip yesterday morning, Maddie was sent to the station in the company's car, and several colleagues in the company were on a business trip with her. And Maddie didn't find the anonymous letter when she went home before 9 o'clock last night, it seems that the letter was stuffed in through the crack in the door after Yan Yu left, how could it be Yan Yu's doing?

To keep aware, Maddie went to check the font of the anonymous letter.

The font does not tell who wrote it, as it is clear that the words of the anonymous letter are disguised.

So, who exactly wrote this anonymous letter? Could it be that on that day 7 years ago, there was really a fishing witness on the edge of the reservoir?

Maddie thought about the scene again: the upper reaches of the reservoir were surrounded by mountains, and the slopes were covered with dense forests, which were tall and dense lime trees, walnut, ash and daughters, one after the other, forming a primeval forest-like cluster, and it was not impossible for an angler to hide in the forest.

Because the person who hides in the woods is in the shadows, and he and Meixin are in the light, and the people in the shadows can see the people in the boats, but the people in the boats cannot see the people in the woods...... As a result, his murder of Meixin was seen by the "fishing witness".

However, if there really was that "witness" in the woods around the reservoir at that time, why didn't he come out to save people when he saw the boat capsizing? Why didn't you report it to the police afterwards? Why didn't you come to him Maddie threatened to rip off? Why did it jump out again after 7 years?

Where is this eyewitness from 7 years ago? Have you been looking for me? Or have you been following me?

Maddie also thought: What is the purpose of this witness writing an anonymous letter to me?

Is it extortion of money?

Yes, I'm rich, and it's a smart move to ask me to be the target of blackmail. I have seen this situation in many movies and television, and in real life, there are also things where big money is extorted. But why didn't the anonymous letter mention the money? Is it to make a request for money in the next letter? Or is it not for money at all?

Alas, I can't think of it, I can't think of it.

Maddie had been thinking about it all morning at home, but still had no clue, so he had to put the matter down for now.

In the afternoon, he went to work.

In the office, he closed the door and pulled out the lighter and the anonymous letter, which he wanted to burn, and the text that recorded the secret of the murder of Meixin 7 years ago should not have been left.

"Smack", the lighter burned, and a blue flame came out, and Maddie slowly extended the lighter towards the anonymous letter...... However, he turned off the lighter again. Can't burn! This anonymous letter was the only clue to find the author of the anonymous letter, and the clue was broken as soon as it was burned.

Maddie turned around and opened the safe, locking the anonymous letter in the safe.

Two more days passed, and everything was fine.

Maddie's heart had just calmed down a bit, but unexpectedly she received another anonymous letter, still stuffed in the crack of the door of her home. When he came out of the house, he opened the door and found a piece of paper-like object falling out of the crack in the door, which turned out to be a letter. In this way, the person who sent the anonymous letter knew that he was at home, and he was too bold, it was simply blatant!

Maddie already had a hunch that it wasn't a good letter. Since receiving the first anonymous letter, Maddie panics at the sight of the envelope, which has almost become a reflex.

He didn't seem to have the courage to read it, so he carried the second letter in his pocket and came to the unit.

I entered the office, closed the door, poured myself a glass of water, drank it, and tried to calm myself for a moment before reading the second letter.

The envelope is still the kind of ordinary envelope that can be bought in a stationery store. The name of the unit and his name are still not written on the cover. The font in the letter is still disguised and illegible - everything is the same as the first letter.

The second anonymous letter reads as follows:

Maddie, why haven't you turned yourself in to the Public Security Bureau? Don't think I don't have evidence of your murder.

First. You have a motive for committing the crime, and you had an affair before you traveled to the reservoir. Secretly crossing Chen Cang with a woman named Yan Yu, you want to divorce Meixin, and you are afraid that Meixin will not agree, so you created the drowning murder case.

Second, you have the conditions to commit the crime. You have been able to swim since you were a child, but you only came to the city later, and others don't know, since you can swim, why don't you save Meixin? Because that's exactly what you do to murder.

Third, someone confirms your criminal behavior. That boat was deliberately overturned by you, which I saw with my own eyes while fishing on the shore, and I can testify in court if necessary.

Of course, maybe your wife Yan Yu will also testify in court, because she must know about it. Therefore, I advise you to be smart and quickly go to the public security bureau to turn yourself in. Otherwise, I will go to the public security bureau to report the case, and by the time the public security bureau comes to your door, it will be too late.

A fishing witness

The second anonymous letter is the same as the first, only in a little more detail than the first.

If the first anonymous letter was just like a short spell, evoking Maddie's terrible memories, then the second anonymous letter was a powerful steel hand and iron claw, which touched the weakest nerve in Maddie's heart with the slightest evidence, and drained his spiritual pillar, so that he could no longer hold himself, and his heart was empty like a bottomless pit, and his soul was falling and falling down this bottomless pit towards the invisible abyss.

The three pieces of evidence written on the anonymous letter are true, and the rules are the key points. If that eyewitness really used these three pieces of evidence to sue the Public Security Bureau, then what awaits him Maddie must be the charge of "murderer", as well as the cold handcuff, the muzzle of the black hole, and the burning and fatal blow in the back of the head!

No, no! Maddie shouted in her heart: I'm still young, my career is developing, I have money, I haven't enjoyed enough life, I don't want to die!

Maddie locks the office door and walks around the office quickly, fast and slow, walking, stopping, anxious, desperate, resentful, and irritable. The usual elegant demeanor and Kunshi's style are all gone, and he is going around in circles like a sleepy wolf.

Suddenly, the footsteps stopped.

Or do you go to the Public Security Bureau and turn yourself in, as written in the anonymous letter? Confess leniency and strive for leniency. In this way, you can avoid a death and save a life, although it is a long life, but at least you are alive. How many years will be sentenced? Reprieve? Indefinite? At least 20 years, ah, ah, don't do it, don't do it! The good times were spent behind the cold iron window, and when they were released, they were already old people in their last years, money, women, career, status...... Everything that can be enjoyed has come to naught, what's the point of living that kind of life?
