Chapter 34: The Cruel Truth

After hanging up the phone, none of the three of us spoke, sitting silently in the living room, the atmosphere was depressing and suffocating.

"Sister, I want to go to the United States." Surprisingly, Meng Meng broke the silence first.

"But my sister can't bear you." Jiang Lina tried to hold back her tears and said sadly to Mengmeng.

"Actually, you can go abroad with Mengmeng, and now the procedures for going abroad are not difficult." I motioned to Jiang Lina to go to the United States together.

Who knew that Jiang Lina hadn't spoken yet, and Meng Meng had already rushed to refuse, "I don't need my sister to accompany me!" This time I'm going to go alone! ”

"But my sister is really reluctant to let you go, Meng Meng!"

"yes, Moe. Let your sister go with you, you don't want to see your sister sad, right? ”

We persuaded Meng Meng together, and the two sisters went abroad together. I never thought that Meng Meng refused very firmly.

"No, uncle. My sister has taken care of me for 17 years, and it's time for me to be independent. ”

"But Mengmeng, my sister can't do without you!"

Meng Meng still refused Jiang Lina's accompaniment, "Sister, there is an uncle here to accompany you. Don't worry about me, I'll be back soon, you and Uncle are obediently waiting for me to come back. ”

"Mengmeng, but you've never gone out alone, my sister really can't rest assured of you." Jiang Lina couldn't help crying, hugged Mengmeng, and refused to let go.

In Jiang Lina's arms, Meng Meng said calmly, "You really don't have to worry about me, I remember my sister's kindness to me." But this time I really want to be independent, I don't want to be like a child who doesn't grow up anymore, I don't want others to take care of me for everything, I also want to take care of my sister like my sister took care of me. ”

I'm going to make another final attempt to persuade her to go abroad with Jiang Lina, "Mengmeng, you should listen to your sister, after all, you have never left her all these years, can you really adapt to a person?" If you're not fully prepared, I'd suggest you go along. As for the money, you don't have to worry, the uncle will have a way, and he won't let you suffer abroad. ”

"Uncle, can I call you brother-in-law?" Meng Meng didn't answer me directly and gave me an unexpected question.

"Yes, our family can call Uncle whatever she likes."

Meng Meng smiled sweetly at me, "Then I can call me uncle and brother-in-law!" Brother-in-law, I really made up my mind. Sister, don't interrupt me, listen to me first. ”

"I was not in good health since I was a child, my father was a stranger to me, at that time, my father often beat me when I had nothing to do, every time my father beat me, my mother held me in his arms and protected me, and my father couldn't beat me, so he beat my mother, and my mother was bruised."

"Later, when my father died, I was not sad at all, he deserved it. It wasn't long before my mother was gone, and I wasn't sad and happy. It's not that I don't have a conscience, I know that my mother is good to me, I just feel that my mother is finally free, and she doesn't have to suffer living sins anymore. ”

"Sister, do you know? In the days before my mother left, you were studying at school, and I was at home with my mother. In those days, people came to force debts every day, and my mother begged them for some leniency, but no one was willing, and she insulted her mother with all kinds of vicious language. ”

"I remember one day, a man and a woman, who were about the same age as I am, came to the house and asked for money, and my mother knelt down and begged them as usual, and the two of them just stood and watched my mother kneel in front of them and kowtow to them."

"The woman also told her mother that this was all the abuse done by your man, and now the retribution will be on you. My mother begged them to save a little money so that we could have something to eat and a few more days, but they wouldn't agree. ”

"It was the woman who said to her mother, his father and mother were burned to death by my father, why is my mother still alive, why don't you die, don't you want to give those two little beasts a bite to eat? If you die, it's fine, and when you're dead, no one will come to force the debt, and if you die, the debt will be eliminated, you know? After saying that, they kicked their mother away and walked away. ”

"What happened later, sister, you know, within a few days my mother jumped off the flyover. The strange thing is that on the day my mother left, I was not sad at all, but I felt that my mother was finally liberated and could go to heaven to enjoy happiness, and I was really happy for her. ”

"After my mother left, my grandmother took us in. But my grandmother was also very poor, and in order to feed us, she went to pick up garbage at such an old age. ”

"Grandma is also very good to us, she is reluctant to eat, she is reluctant to wear, and she will give us both of us if there is anything good. Once I suddenly fainted, and my grandmother took me to the hospital, because there was no money, the doctor would not treat me. Grandma can't help it, at such an old age, she still begs the blood dealer to sell blood, and the blood dealer is afraid of something and doesn't dare to agree to grandma. Grandma knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him, and the blood dealer had no choice but to agree to grandma, and afterwards she was pitiful and gave grandma an extra 200 yuan. After seeing the doctor, my grandmother took me back to the house and asked me not to tell you when my sister came back. ”

After that day, my grandmother's health was no longer good, but she still managed to pick up garbage every morning. One morning three years ago, a man and a woman came to look for my grandmother, and I saw that the two people had familiar faces, so I hid at the top of the stairs and eavesdropped. They told my grandmother that my grandmother's health was no longer good, and she would definitely fall ill in two years, and what would we do with the two sisters, and we would have to take care of my grandmother in turn, so it would be better to die quickly, and after her death, she would give our two sisters 50,000 yuan to do a small business. ”

"Sister, you must have guessed, a few days later, my grandmother passed away, and then we had 50,000 yuan to open a pet store. After my grandmother died, I still didn't feel sad because my grandmother went to heaven to enjoy happiness like my mother, and I was really happy for them. ”

"Later, we met my brother-in-law, who was very kind to us. Give us a big house to live in, buy us new clothes, buy us nice jewelry. I'm really happy and I really hope that this can go on forever. But I knew that I was 17 years old and could not stay with my brother-in-law and sister forever. I'm afraid that one morning when I open my eyes, I won't see you anymore, and I'll be left alone. ”

"This time, my brother-in-law's friend said that he could take care of my illness, and I would go to the United States to take care of my illness no matter what, and then come back healthy. My sister's misfortune and I were caused by my illness, and if I hadn't been sick, not so much would have happened. I feel that my illness is a curse, whoever treats me well will have misfortune, so I must go to the United States, I don't want to let my sister and brother-in-law have misfortune because of myself. ”

"When I get better, I can take care of my sister and brother-in-law, and I can help you take care of the baby in the future. So sister, promise me to let me go to the United States. ”

After speaking, Meng Meng took Jiang Lina's hand and looked at her with a sincere face. Jiang Lina was so sad that she couldn't help herself, hugged Mengmeng into her arms, and cried loudly. It didn't take long for Meng Meng to be affected by Jiang Lina and began to cry.

I didn't know how to comfort them, so I thought I'd let them vent, so I got up and went back to my room.

Back in the room, I took out a cigarette and lit it with Zhibao, breathing rapidly, and I couldn't calm down for a long time. Recalling Mengmeng's story, I suddenly discovered that the mystery of the death of Jiang Lina's mother and grandmother, who had plagued Wu Shaodong for a long time, would unveil it in this environment. I must report this situation to Wu Shaodong as soon as possible, and it is very likely that a breakthrough in the case will occur today.

I calmed down and walked out of the room to see that the two of them were no longer crying. Jiang Lina was sitting on the sofa with Meng Meng in her arms and whispering something, Meng Meng listened to Jiang Lina's whispers, and smiled from time to time.

When they saw me walking out of the room, they stopped whispering and told me that they had already discussed it, and they were ready to let Mengmeng go to the United States for treatment after the case was over. I smiled and replied that I would support their decision.

Then I made an excuse to go out and buy some supper and came back, and asked them to wait for me obediently in the room, and when they nodded yes, I walked out of the room with a heavy heart.

Walking out of the hotel, I first found a fast food restaurant, ordered a few dishes to pack at random, and called Wu Shaodong while the chef was stir-frying.

"Team Wu, have you rested?"

"It's not yet, I'm sorting out the clues of the past two days, are you okay?"

"Well, some discoveries, let's talk about your side first."

"Hehe, you've learned to sell Guanzi too. The search for several groups of people on my side is over, the decoration company replied that it was to build a basement, the two equipment companies replied that it was to buy perfume manufacturing equipment, diesel generator sets, large CNC pressure cookers and atomization equipment, and the flower market was to buy various petals. In addition to the purification equipment you reported in the afternoon, I consulted the second cosmetics factory in Shanghai, and the other party said that this is a set of small perfume production lines, and the equipment is relatively advanced, better than some small manufacturers. However, there are still a few pieces of equipment, and the other party can't figure out what it's used for, which may mean that it is dealing with some special raw materials. By the way, don't you have something to say to me? ”

"Team Wu, about Jiang Lina's mother and grandmother, do you have any clues from Komatsu?"

"Unfortunately, there are no clues. When you say that, have you made a discovery? ”

"It can be said that just a moment ago, I learned from Jiang Xiaomeng that her mother and grandmother had seen Liu Jing before they died, and a man who was about the same age as Liu Jing."

"Oh? Tell me more! ”

I told Wu Shaodong what Mengmeng said about her mother and grandmother.

"That's the way it is, and I suspect that the man is most likely Liu Kun!"

"You're right, it's a breakthrough."

"Do you want Sister Jiang Lina to come to the bureau tomorrow to identify Liu Kun?"

"Identification is still needed, but there is no need to identify me, just let the two sisters come to the bureau to recognize the photo."

"I mean in the name of cooperating with the investigation, let Liu Kun come to the bureau."

"Lao Cheng, I can't move Liu Kun yet. First of all, the two things you said, there is no proof of death, plus Liu Jing has also disappeared, and I am sure that Liu Jing is also dead, what do you say is the point of letting Liu Kun come? ”

"How about instigating murder?"

"It is difficult to define instigating murder, plus how old was Jiang Xiaomeng at that time? The evidence is insufficient for the Public Prosecutor's Office. ”

I sighed and said, "Looks like heaven is helping him." ”

"Heaven will not help criminals, Skynet will be restored and not leaked!" Wu Shaodong said firmly.

"Okay, let's not say more, I'll take them back to the bureau directly around noon tomorrow."

"Yes, it's the best."

"So be it, I'll go back to the hotel."

"Okay, we'll meet tomorrow."

After the call, I returned to Greenwillow Villa with my packing box.
