Chapter 13: The Mist

"Boss? What are you doing here? Didn't you take a special day off today? Xu Ranran was a little surprised to see Xiao Rongzheng walk in, "Huh? Ah Han, why are you here! You two! Ah~ No! She saw Cheng Han who walked in with her, and her face was full of gossip that she couldn't hide.

"Don't talk nonsense, Dr. Cheng is here to report the case!" Xiao Rongzheng waved his hand and gave Xu Ranran a look and asked her not to talk nonsense.

"Ranran, I want to report the case, this girl's parents have committed domestic violence against her!" Cheng Han said, and gently pulled out Lang Juanzi, who had been hiding behind her.

"Domestic violence!" Xu Ranran became serious, walked to Lang Juanzi and squatted down, and asked softly, "Little friend, can you tell Auntie what Teacher Cheng is talking about?" ”

Lang Juanzi instinctively wanted to hide behind Cheng Han, but looked up and saw Cheng Han looking at him with gentle, encouraging eyes and said, "Juanzi, don't be afraid, it's safe here, you tell your aunt, okay?" Don't worry, Juanzi, the teacher is with you! And, you see, the homeroom teacher is also here. Good way~"

The gentle and powerful words made Lang Juanzi muster up the courage to walk in front of Xu Ranran, and pulled up the sleeves of the school uniform on both sides, only to see that the two arms were covered with bruises and scars.

Then she picked up her trouser legs again, and the red marks on the two calves were congested and swollen, making the originally slender calves bigger than the original, which really made people can't help but look at it again. New injuries and old injuries are added together, and no one knows how much Lang Juanzi's small body has endured.

She also wanted to lift her school uniform, but was suddenly held down by Cheng Han, "Juanzi, this is fine, let's not lift it." As she spoke, she helped Lang Juanzi tidy up her clothes and touched Juanzi's head, "Well, the teacher told us Juanzi, these are his own little secrets, and they can't be easily shown to others." ”

"Ah Han, you let her sit down and drink some water first." Xu Ranran moved a few stools and placed them in front of them, "Let's talk slowly." ”

The three ladies, including Xiao Juanzi, sat opposite Xu Ranran, answering her questions, while Xiao Rongzheng stood in front of the computer behind them and clicked on the information database and entered Lang Juanzi's name.

"Your name is Juanzi, isn't it, can you tell Auntie how these injuries were done?" Xu Ranran asked softly, for fear that her voice would scare her.

The "Daddy" girl's voice is not loud, and she can't even hear it clearly if she doesn't listen carefully. Juanzi sat in a chair, still with her head down, her half-length hair hanging down, almost covering half of her face.

"Juanzi, where is your mother? Is she also at home? ”

"Mom's not here," Lang Juanzi muttered. Her voice was so low that Xu Ranran didn't hear it, "What? ”

"Mom's not home?" She obediently repeated to the side. "Huh?" Xu Ranran was a little puzzled, "Mom is not at home, where did she go?" ”

"Mom and Dad are separated, Mom doesn't want Juanzi and Dad anymore......" Lang Juanzi choked up as she spoke, as if she remembered her previous life, her tears couldn't stop flowing, and she couldn't let go of her hand that reached out to grab Cheng Han. Cheng Han reached out and took her into his arms and coaxed her softly.

"Officer Xu, why don't you ask me first," said the head teacher, who had been beside him without speaking.

"Okay. Have you ever been in contact with Lang Juanzi's father? What kind of person is that? ”

"I met at a parent-teacher meeting, and I had a literary and romantic temperament. Moreover, I heard that Lang Juanzi's father is still a well-known painter! In the first two years, he participated in the 'National New Painter Competition' and won the first prize.

Looking at the person who doesn't look like he can do such a thing, I don't know if there is any misunderstanding in it? She was talking lively, and she didn't notice that Cheng Han next to her glanced coldly here.

Xu Ranran noticed Cheng Han's eyes, and his heart was clear, "This teacher, generally speaking, the words I am a bad person are not engraved on the faces of bad people, and we don't recognize people by looking at them for a long time." I have been a police officer for so many years, and I have seen countless well-dressed so-called social elites, enjoying incomparably superior social resources, but doing outrageous things behind their backs. But in any case, thank you very much for your cooperation. ”

The head teacher waved his hand and said busily, "Where, where." ”

"Is there anything abnormal about this child Lang Juanzi? Or something is wrong? ”

"Something is wrong?" The head teacher frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "This child never wears short-sleeved clothes, even in the first half month of school, the weather was still very hot, she still wore the autumn school uniform, not the summer one."

Moreover, since I took over the class, this kid has looked quite unsociable, a loner, with no friends and no desire to talk to others. In addition to these, this child's academic performance is quite good, even if she doesn't make friends, it seems that she can have a good time with herself. ”

Xu Ranran closed the recorded notebook, stretched out his hand to the head teacher, and the two shook hands politely, "Today can be the end of it, we still need to investigate the basic information, you can go home first at present, and I hope you can actively cooperate at that time." ”

"Of course, you must know everything!" The head teacher waved his hand again and again, said goodbye to several people in the room one by one, and left.

"Is this kid okay?" Xu Ranran lay on the table in front of her, looking at the little girl who had been lying in Cheng Han's arms with some curiosity.

"Shhh ”

"Hey, I said, it's not easy for this little girl, just so young to grow up in this kind of environment where her father doesn't hurt and her mother doesn't love." Xu Ranran said with some distress.

"Can I leave her at the police station? Her homeroom teacher had told her father that I was afraid that she would continue to suffer domestic violence when she returned. Cheng Han gently patted the sleeping girl and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, I happen to be on the night shift today, and I can still accompany her! Oops, it's so distressing. Xu Ranran leaned over to Cheng Han and reached out to poke the little girl's soft face.

"Cheng Han, I'll go with you to Juanzi's house to get in touch with her father in a while. Go ask him what's going on, we can't just leave other people's children in the police station. Xiao Rongzheng poked his head out from behind the computer and suggested.

"Alright then......"

At this moment, a man with shoulder-length hair, a beard, and an American hippie-style shirt ran in anxiously, and looked around as soon as he entered.

"Who are you looking for, gentleman?" Xu Ranran spoke.

"My name is Lang Hong, I am Lang Juanzi's father, and my child's homeroom teacher said that the child was brought here." As he spoke, he saw Xiao Juanzi in Cheng Han's arms, so he ran over quickly. But before he got closer, he was blocked by Xiao Rongzheng, who stood up.

He blocked Cheng Han behind him, hid his smile, put on a straight face, and said seriously, "Mr. Lang Hong, you came just in time, you are suspected of committing domestic violence against Lang Juanzi, I hope you can cooperate with us and give a reasonable explanation." ”

The man was a little anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly explained, "Comrade policeman, this is all a misunderstanding!" Just tell me how there are parents who don't care about teaching their children!

Lang Juanzi smashed the glass of the next-door neighbor's car two days ago, and everyone came to the door, and I don't believe she did it on purpose. But on the one hand, you have to show your neighbors an attitude; On the other hand, if a child makes a mistake, she must not be indulged.

Do you think I want to hit her, I don't hurt my own child! But sometimes, you only know the seriousness of the matter when you beat her, otherwise you will not be soft when you make a mistake in the future.

If you don't teach her a good lesson if you make this kind of mistake, indulge her, won't this child be raised by us as a bear child! ”

This person's sincere attitude made Xiao Rongzheng's face slowly soften, "Children should indeed be educated, but you are too ruthless." She did something wrong, and a symbolic gesture would be fine.

Don't look at them as children, but they have a strong sense of self-esteem, and sometimes excessive scolding will traumatize their psychology, causing them to have an inferiority complex, these bad effects. ”

"Yes, yes, comrade policeman, it was indeed my mistake. At the same time, I am also very grateful to the teacher who helped bring Juanzi to the police station, which shows that they are very attentive to the child. As he spoke, Lang Hong bowed to Cheng Han. Cheng Han was taken aback by this action, and hurriedly bent forward and supported Lang Hong.

"Oh, Mr. Lang, you don't need to do this, this is our duty as teachers. But I still hope that you will be able to reason with your child better in the future, after all, she is such an old child. And if you want to apologize, you also apologize to Juanzi, after all, no matter what the purpose, you hurt her after all. ”

Lang Hong hurriedly nodded and said 'yes', and then beckoned behind Cheng Han, "Juanzi, come, go home with Dad." Dad knew that he was wrong, Dad shouldn't have beaten Juanzi, and never again. Okay, right? Juanzi is good, don't be angry with your father, okay? ”

He smiled and spoke in an amiable tone, but Lang Juanzi looked frightened and stepped back one by one. Cheng Han was a little strange, turned around, looked at the girl with a scared face and asked, "Juanzi, what's wrong?" If there's anything else, you can tell the teacher in person, or you can tell the police uncle, right, Officer Xiao. Xiao Rongzheng, who was suddenly named, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned around and said yes.

"That's right, Juanzi, what else is there to tell your teacher and police uncle, and I'll go home with my father when I'm done." Cheng Han turned his back to Lang Hong, and Xiao Rongzheng was also looking at Cheng Han and the little girl, both of them only heard him speak softly, but they didn't see that he was staring at Lang Juanzi fiercely at the moment, the corners of his mouth were raised, as if he was smiling.

Lang Juanzi shrunk her neck, quickly shook her head, and whispered, "No, no." ”

Lang Hong drove Lang Juanzi home, he didn't say a word along the way, but he could tell from his tense facial muscles that this person was holding back an outburst of temper. The car drove into a villa area far away from the city, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing water on one side. Each unique building shows the world the difference of the owners.

He parked the car at the door of his house, got out of the car by himself, opened the door of the back seat, and dragged her out of the car despite Lang Juanzi's desperate struggle.

The girl was scared and wanted to break free from Lang Hong's big hand, but how could she be an opponent of an angry adult man. She shouted in horror, but it was quiet, as if there were only two of them left in this world.

As soon as he entered the house, Langhong threw his daughter to the floor with all his might. Closing the door and turning, he completely withdrew the humble disguise of the police station, smiled evilly, and slowly walked towards his daughter who was sitting on the ground. He picked up the broom that was placed behind the door, raised his hand, and pulled it at Lang Juanzi fiercely.

With a "snap", Lang Juanzi subconsciously raised her hand to block it, and the broom fell firmly on her arm. The arm suddenly became hot, and a red mark immediately appeared on the white skin.

"What? Are you learning to sue me now? Well? Lang Hong looked at the scars on his daughter's hands without a trace of pity. He continued to beat his daughter with a broom like crazy, and his mouth kept on and on.

"You've grown up, your wings have hardened, you don't need me anymore, and you want to get rid of me? Have you forgotten who brought you up by working so hard to sell paintings? Have you forgotten who took you to the hospital in the middle of the night on a rainy day when you were sick?

Has your mother, who has always been thinking in your heart, been in charge of you during these times? No! Even if she didn't have me now, she wouldn't want you. ”

Lang Juanzi held her head in her hands, trying to reduce the bearing area of her body. But the broom kept falling on his body, and his whole body was hot at the moment. She didn't say a word, biting her lower lip tightly, even though her mouth was full of blood. Because she knew that her painful wail would not let Lang Hong's men be merciful.

"I know she came to you some time ago and wanted to get your custody back and let you live with her. You really have feelings for her, and you have been thinking about this person who left you for so many years.

However, do you think she really wants to pick you up and live with you when she appears at this time, aren't you very smart, why don't you think about it yourself! ”

"Mom, it's not...... the girl's voice was hoarse, and she retorted with all her might, enduring the pain all over her body.

"If you don't want to believe it, forget it, I don't bother to talk to you!" Lang Hong's hand was a little sore, he threw the broom in front of Lang Juanzi, and wanted to turn away.

However, Lang Juanzi stretched out her hand and held the broom tightly in her hand. With the support of a broom, she got up from the floor with difficulty, staggered, and walked towards Langhong......

At the beginning of the day, the traffic on the road is coming and going, and people are rushing back to the warm home to have a hot dinner with their families.

Zou Ji Restaurant, a time-honored restaurant in City A, has been open from the Republic of China to today, and the dishes in it have not decreased for so many years, and the prices are fair and reasonable, so it has become one of the favorite restaurants of people in City A.

The decoration inside is still like the Republic of China, with a square table with two benches and a large pot of tea. There are not many eye-catching, bells and whistles, but it makes people feel comfortable.

There is a spring in Zou Ji's backyard, which has been gurgling and gushing all year round, and it is said that this spring has not stopped from the Republic of China to the present. Therefore, many people come here just to take a look at this spring.

Cheng Han was holding his cheeks and looking at the glass of water in front of him, not noticing Xiao Rongzheng's inquiry. "Aren't you going to eat the fish fillet, hey, I'm not going to eat this today. Fish are hair and are not good for wounds. Why don't you order a stewed tenderloin? Cheng Han? ”

"Huh?" Cheng Han came back to his senses and looked at Xiao Rongzheng a little confused, "What's wrong?" ”

"You're asking what you want to eat?" Xiao Rongzheng looked at Cheng Han, who was a little ignorant, and repeated, "I won't eat fish today, the injury on your hand hasn't healed yet." How about a stewed tenderloin? ”

"Yes, I still want to eat stir-fried kidney flowers, mixed vegetables, and a first-class tofu."

"Yes! Then order these. After speaking, Xiao Rongzheng handed the menu to the waiter on the side, picked up the teapot and refilled Cheng Han's teacup.

"What were you thinking?" Cheng Han took a sip of water and sighed, "Thinking about that child, I always feel that I seem to have hurt her today?" ”

"Are you afraid that she will be beaten by his father today?"

"I don't know what's wrong, I always feel that Juanzi's father's attitude in the police station is too good, so good that it's a little unreal......" she asked in a low voice, and her firm heart began to waver.

Xiao Rongzheng looked at the girl who was a little uneasy in front of her, and couldn't help but reach out her hand, gently patted her hand holding the teacup, and comforted, "Don't worry, you can go to see her when you go to school tomorrow and check if there are any new injuries on her body." If her father really did more than just educate his children, you take her to the hospital for an injury report.

If Lang Hong still does not cooperate, and Juanzi is still afraid that he will not dare to expose him in person, then our public security organs still have the Women's Federation, and the neighborhood committee can help Juanzi apply to the court for a personal safety protection order. ”

He looked at Cheng Han with tender eyes and quietly held her hand, "Don't worry, our country has long formulated a perfect law against domestic violence, even if it is a family, you can't fight each other." ”

"Okay, then I'll go to her tomorrow as soon as I get to school." Cheng Han found out that Xiao Rongzheng held her hand at some point, and suddenly felt that his ears were hot.

"That, Officer Xiao, trouble your hand......"

"Ah, sorry sorry, I don't know what's going on." Xiao Rongzheng quickly took his hand back, and avoided Cheng Han's gaze as a thief. For a while, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Just as Xiao Rongzheng wanted to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere, his mobile phone rang at an inopportune time.

"Hey, what's wrong with Xu Ranran? Okay, I know! I'll go back to the police right now! His brow furrowed slowly.

"What's wrong? Is there a case? Cheng Han asked with some curiosity.

Xiao Rongzheng nodded, and said with a solemn expression, "Lang Hong is dead, and Lang Juanzi is at the scene......"
