Chapter X

The ghost of the siege

Are there ghosts in this world?

The answer is yes, in your own home.

For couples who have an indifferent relationship, the ghost is your wife, or your husband.

The following is a phrase that only some people who have been married for many years can understand:

Every night, you sleep with your ghost, you sleep in the same bed, you don't see it, but you can feel each other's presence.

All love stories are frozen in the happiest moment, but few people talk about the story after the ending.

Zhang Qingjin and his wife first met at a school party, and in order to celebrate Teacher's Day, the school held a party, which was attended by almost all the new teachers. Zhang Qingjin sang a song - "The Farthest You Are My Nearest Love", and after singing the song, the dance began. The lights that night were orange, and even the edges of the velvet curtains were dyed gold. A woman was sitting in an unnoticed corner, he walked up to her, stretched out his hand, and said, "May I ask you to do a dance?" ”

She stood up with a wince, and said, "I don't know how to." ”

Zhang Qingjin never thought that this woman would become his wife.

The next day, he wrote a poem and folded it into a paper crane to give it to her, to which she replied.

M: I stretched out my hand and caused the confusion of the night.

It's a simple action for me.

I made her whirl, heavy and light.

From starting point to starting point,

Perfume leaves a fragrance in the air,

Slowly relax and approach again quickly.

F: I took my hand and opened the wings of my skirt.

It's a complicated move for me.

He wound me, merging suppleness with strength.

From reincarnation to reincarnation,

The body leaves a figure on the ground,

A brief separation and then a gentle grip.

After the poem, they got married. The two teachers had a meager income and initially lived a shabby and embarrassing life. They set up stalls during the winter and summer vacations, and they feel embarrassed when they meet acquaintances. He always likes to buy pirated books because pirated books are cheap. She loved a pair of high heels in the window, but the price put her off, and she just glanced at it quietly every time she passed by the shoe store. Diligence and thrift, little money accumulates, life slowly improves, children are born, and they live a happy and trivial life.

Time is like an old-fashioned tape player, fast forwarding with some noise.

When the child was 6 years old, Zhang Qingjin bought his wife a pair of high heels, but his wife could no longer wear them. The wife suffered from necrosis of the femoral head, also known as the cancer of immortality. At first, I just felt unbearable pain in my thigh, but later I went to the hospital for examination, and the bones were already honeycomb-shaped. Since then, she has been disabled and needs crutches to walk.

At night, in bed, she said to him, "I'm sorry I ruined the family's money." ”

He clasped his wife's hand and said, "Even if you are paralyzed, I will not leave you alone." ”

Zhang Qingjin finally broke his promise, and he and his wife talked less and less, and although his attitude was gentle, he still made his wife feel a subtle change. His only pastime after work is chatting online, and he has more topics to talk about with strangers online. His wife would walk up behind him with great difficulty, bring him a cup of tea or a piece of watermelon, and he would immediately close the chat window, acting bored. The phone has a password set and is set to silent. Sometimes, in the middle of the night, Zhang Qingjin would also receive text messages; Sometimes, his wife would notice a faint lipstick mark on his shirt.

Finally, one day, he said to her, "Let's get a divorce, and frankly, I'm in love with another woman." ”

These words were like sharp knives piercing into the softest and most painful place in his wife's heart, and his wife sat still, motionless, like a sculpture, she was surprisingly quiet, but in fact, her heart had been vicissitudes.

There is a kind of love called letting go.

On the day of the divorce, it was raining, and she didn't bring an umbrella, so he left her like that, leaving her alone in the Civil Affairs Bureau.

When they left, they didn't say anything.

She suddenly remembered that the place where the divorce took place was also the place where they registered their marriage.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the corridor was full of people going through marriage and divorce procedures, and she was in a trance, feeling very tired, and for some reason she knocked on the door of a room, and the staff inside looked at her with a little surprise.

She said, "Hello...... Can I cry here for a while? ”

No one can disappear without a trace, even if this person is gone, but still lives in the memory of another person, appearing in the middle of two old walls, flickering on the sparkling lake, there is always something broken splashing in the dust, the farther and farther, the farther and clearer. Just as only he knows, the old furniture in the house has taken root again, pear blossoms have bloomed in the corners of the cabinets, elm money has formed on the back of the chairs, and even the willow leaves have fallen from the doors that enter and exit every day.

As we mentioned earlier, when the police visited, they implicitly said that Zhang Qingjin had an accident. His wife thought it was just a fire and thought about going to the hospital to take care of him. This woman, who wants to serve her ex-husband at the hospital bed after the divorce, may explain the whole meaning of the word "wife".

Lin June's father is a corrupt official, so

She has lived a pampered life since she was a child.

She read a few romances when she was a girl, and then she liked to be decadent when she had nothing to do, and stood in front of the window with her arms crossed and was inexplicably sad, and this sadness had a lot to do with the leaves falling and the flowers thanking. Just as girls adore Korean stars these days, she has also had a crush on the Little Tigers and Hong Kong's Four Heavenly Kings, with posters plastered in her room and old tapes piled up in drawers. She often goes to Hong Kong to see concerts, and the autographs she asks for are very sacred. Later, as she grew older, the petty bourgeois girl became a middle-aged aunt. One day, she suddenly felt that those celebrities were just ordinary people, and they were also hideous when they were constipated.

Until the age of 25, she did not eat fireworks in the world, her stomach only digested cream, salads, Japanese food, Italian pasta, she did not eat pig ears, sheep's trotters, fritters, pancakes, and even roast chicken.

Lin June's heart is always full of poetry: when you take the train, you must see wheat fields and birch forests outside the window; While drinking rum at the bar, the wall must be a painting of Picasso.

She doesn't know how to paint, but every time she goes to a concert in Hong Kong, she goes to a gallery, the owner is a young and down-and-out painter, wearing gold wire glasses, melancholy eyes, and there is oil paint on her jeans that can never be washed, this is her first love, and they have been in love for 3 years.

In those years, her father found her a job in a public institution, and then committed suicide by taking drugs because of financial problems.

Lin June didn't like this job, she didn't want to go to work at all, she just wanted to wear a white dress and a guitar on her back to wander the world.

She said to her colleague very seriously: "Isn't it good to be a wandering singer?" ”

Colleagues are older than her, and from a realistic point of view, they ask, "Then what do you eat and drink?" ”

Colleague A said, "You come to my house, there are toon buds on my tree, and I will give you scrambled eggs to eat." ”

Colleague B said: "No matter how fragrant the perfume is, it can't dry the leek zygote." ”

Colleague C said: "The department store is holding activities, and the price of everything is cut, and the price is so cheap that sanitary napkins are only sold for five yuan a pack." ”

Colleague Ding sings: "I love you, the snow ...... of Saibei"

Lin June felt that her colleagues were vulgar and vulgar, and she regretted why she didn't work in multinational companies, and being a white-collar worker was much better than being a civil servant. She thought about getting married, marrying the painter, and settling in Hong Kong. However, long-distance relationships mostly end in failure, and the last time she and her painter boyfriend saw each other was in a small alley where sewage flowed, and she felt that the breakup should be at the dock with the sound of a whistle or a snowy station.

The painter's boyfriend said: "I'm going to the United States to develop, maybe the people there appreciate my paintings more, you don't have to wait for me." ”

Lin June said: "I am waiting for you, you will become a world-famous painter, just like Van Gogh, I want to go to see your exhibition." ”

The artist's boyfriend's leather boots stepped on the dirty water, and without looking back, he strode away.

Lin June shouted to her boyfriend's back: "Come on, I want your name to shine like a star!" ”

During that time, Lin June found out that she was pregnant, and out of an obsessive love, she decided to give birth to this child.

In doing so, she was somewhat influenced by a book called "Letter from a Strange Woman", which tells an unforgettable love story. On his 41st birthday, a man received an unsigned and unaddressed letter from a dying woman. The story begins 18 years ago, when a woman first met a man, she fell in love at first sight, and after a few nights of lingering, the man left for a foreign country, and the woman became pregnant and quietly gave birth to a child. She gave her life's infatuation and did not write a letter to confess until she died.

Years later, Lin June thought so, she showed up with her child in a gallery in New York's art district, and the man she loved walked through the clapping crowd, through time and space, holding her hand. Thinking of this, she was so moved by herself that she almost cried......

However, she had to come back to reality how difficult it was for an unmarried woman to support a child of unknown origin. After much thought, she decided to get married as soon as possible before her belly didn't bulge. After his father committed suicide, the family's financial situation plummeted, and his colleagues helped Zhang Luo on a blind date and asked Lin June what kind of man he wanted to find.

Lin June said: "Rich. ”

The colleague said, "You, you finally want to open it." ”

Lin June and Zhuang Qin got married in lightning, and when they met for the second time on a blind date, Lin June took the initiative to seduce Zhuang Qin to sleep. Less than a month later, Lin June threw a clean sanitary napkin in front of Zhuang Qin and said coldly: "I didn't come this month, I may be pregnant, you are responsible." ”

On the day of the wedding, relatives and friends wanted to make trouble in the cave room, Zhuang Qin stopped everyone with a smile and said, "Don't make trouble, my daughter-in-law is happy." ”

Relatives and friends said: "This is a double happiness, you are a groom and a father." ”

Lin June planted a time bomb, and it was not until more than ten years later that Zhuang Qin accidentally learned that his son was not his own flesh and blood. During a physical examination, Zhuang Qin saw that the child's blood type was type A, but he and Lin June were both type O. The doctor said that both parents had blood type O and it was impossible to give birth to a child with blood type A. Zhuang Qin took the little iron fish to the provincial hospital and quietly did a DNA test to confirm this. After learning the truth, he kept quiet, but he had already moved to kill in his heart, Lin June's extramarital affair and divorce**, which accelerated her destruction.

The reason why Zhuang Qin killed his wife and children,

Because the child is not his child, and the wife will not be his wife.

Chinese-style divorce can be called the Third World War. For more than ten years, the wife would mention the word divorce every time they quarreled, and they smashed all the things in the house. This time, Lin June cheated, she fell in love with a man again, and she was desperate and desperate for love. Break two families, just to be regrouped into one.

Zhuang Qin said: "Divorce, it's okay, the children belong to you, the money belongs to me, and you leave the house." ”

Lin June said: "You're boring like this, we don't have feelings anymore, why bother?" It's good to gather and disperse. ”

Zhuang Qin said: "I didn't die dragging you, you go." ”

Lin June said: "I want half of the money, this is the property division agreement, you can at least leave a child support for our children, right?" ”

Lin June felt that what she said was reasonable, she took out the two printed agreement books from her bag, and took out a pen and put it on the table. Zhuang Qin sneered and tore up the agreement, he turned his head, and thought to himself: "Now you are still lying to me, saying that our children, I am a fucking cuckold, and I have been raising children for others for more than ten years, it is good if I don't ask you for child support, this bitch!" ”

Because of the disagreement over the division of property and the divorce could not be achieved, Lin June thought of elopement, she quietly went to the bank to make an appointment to withdraw money, wanted to withdraw all the family's money, and then took the children and Zhang Qingjin away from home.

It also brought her death.

The bank called to ask Zhuang Qin, and Zhuang Qin knew that Lin June had made an appointment to withdraw money, he didn't question his wife, nor did he make a noise, but spit viciously out of the window, thinking: "You are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust." ”

He hated his wife for hiding him for more than ten years, hated that his wife not only cheated but also wanted to elope with money, and he hated his wife for leaving him with nothing.

On the eve of the killing, he suddenly felt very pitiful and that he was the victim.

In fact, he has no sword to cross, no love to take.

Zhuang Qin made an elaborate plan for the murder, he rented a basement and lied that it would be made into a wine cellar. The cutter was bought from a thrift market, and he also bought a second-hand motorcycle as a tool for throwing corpses. In order to create an alibi and make the police think that he did not have time to commit the crime, he went to great lengths.

Half a year ago, a friend told Zhuang Qin that there was a renovation worker in the labor market who looked like him.

Later, he was surprised to see this renovation worker in the labor market, the two of them looked like the same person in terms of age, height, weight, and tone of voice. This person became the key to the case, and the police were thus confused and excluded Zhuang Qin from the list of suspects.

During the incident, it was not Zhuang Qin who attended the liquor distribution meeting in the provincial capital, but a stand-in.

Zhuang Qin had such a conversation with the decoration workers:

Zhuang Qin: "We look very similar, you pretend to be me to attend a dealership." ”

The renovation worker said, "Why? ”

Zhuang Qin said: "I will give you money, I will give you 1,000 yuan a day, and the distribution will be held for 4 to 5 days." ”

The renovation worker said: "It's a lot of money, what if people see it?" ”

Zhuang Qin said: "You change into my clothes, we will go to the barber shop in a while, do the same hairstyle, and you will take my ID card again." ”

The renovation worker said, "It's not illegal, is it?" I'm pretending to be you. ”

Zhuang Qin said: "Let me tell you the truth, this is my unspeakable secret, you don't have any concerns, in fact, alas, I suspect that my daughter-in-law has someone outside, so I will take advantage of the past few days to secretly investigate, she knows that I am on a business trip, and she must be dating that person, this time, I just want to catch them." ”

The renovation worker said meaningfully: "Oh, in this case, you have to add money, 4 days, give me 5,000 yuan, and I will help you." ”

There were no acquaintances at the dealership, they were all dealers from all over the country, and it was difficult for the organizers to distinguish the real from the fake. Bao Chop found a flaw in his living habits, and during the stay of the renovation workers, in order to save money, he used the landline in the hotel room to call home. Bao Chop also found the decoration worker along the vine.

The truth is revealed.

The reason why Zhuang Qin forced the mother and son to make Lin June and Xiao Tieyu into Chéng Rén, in addition to hatred, he thought like this: the more cruel he is, the less the police will suspect him, and the police are also human beings, and they will feel that how can the two people who get along day and night be ruthless. After the Renbi case, he first used anti-wolf spray to subdue Zhang Qingjin, then strangled him to death, and then used mosquito coils to light a fire to fake the suicide scene. He placed the cutter at Zhang Qingjin's residence, blamed him, and deliberately confused the police, hoping to make the police think that Zhang Qingjin was the real murderer and committed suicide in fear of crime.

He threw the body in the toilet, the purpose was to let the masses find the body as soon as possible, after all, the renovation worker pretended to be Zhuang Qin in the provincial capital, and he only had a few days.

Zhuang Qin asked Lin June: "Do you regret it?" ”

Lin June closed his eyes and replied, "No regrets." ”

The cutter rang out, and blood splattered......

Regarding marriage, an actress said:

"You just wanted a hug, but you accidentally got a kiss, and then you find out you need a bed, a suite, a certificate...... When I got divorced, I remembered: 'You just wanted a hug.' ’”
