The first time Cheng Xiuxiu was beaten was on her birthday. Cheng Gang came back late that day, full of alcohol, Cheng Xiuxiu washed his face and changed his clothes, and after he sat down, he mentioned that now more and more young people in the village are going to the city to work and make money, and there are many opportunities outside, or they will also go out to make money. But she didn't expect that because of this sentence, Cheng Gang's anger came up instantly, and he directly slapped Cheng Xiuxiu to the ground, Cheng Xiuxiu's face quickly swollen, and the corners of her mouth were bloody, she was beaten very suddenly, and she didn't react to what happened at all. Cheng Gang's mother heard the movement and hurriedly came in, but saw that Cheng Gang went out unscathed. Cheng Xiuxiu looked at Cheng Gang in surprise, he was silent, dropped the table and walked out of the room.

In fact, Cheng Gang has always been very concerned about Cheng Xiuxiu's affair with Wu Chao back then, but he didn't say it. Over the years, his mother has been talking about Cheng Xiuxiu's non-pregnancy, coupled with the gossip in the village, he couldn't help drinking tonight, but as soon as he came back and heard Cheng Xiuxiu say that he was going to the city, he thought of Wu Chao. After Cheng Gang came out of the house, he didn't stop until he walked far away and remembered that today was Cheng Xiuxiu's birthday, and the birthday gift he gave him was a slap in the face.

A few days later, Cheng Gang proposed to go to the city with Cheng Xiuxiu to work, although they have been in the village all these years, it seems to be closed, but they have done a small business of crops and made some money, so they went to Linhua City to open a Chinese restaurant. Cheng Xiuxiu originally thought that maybe in a different place, the two of them could start living a good life again, but she didn't expect that this was the beginning of her nightmare.

It was also by chance that they met Cheng Chunmei on the road, she was much older and alone. Cheng Xiuxiu didn't care too much, but Cheng Chunmei began to come to Cheng Gang in private. She told Cheng Gang that she was divorced and now alone, because Wu Chao always had Cheng Xiuxiu in his heart.

Cheng Gang was originally very concerned about this matter, but after she provoked it like this, the number of drinks increased, and every time he drank, he would beat Cheng Xiuxiu. The difference between the two in terms of height and strength is very large, Cheng Xiuxiu can only be beaten every time, during which she also thought about leaving, but every time Cheng Gang kneels on the ground and begs her after waking up, she relents. And Cheng Chunmei, seeing that Cheng Gang has not changed much after so many years, and she liked him back then, so she hooked up with him from time to time, and Cheng Gang didn't refuse when he drank too much.

Cheng Xiuxiu knew these things, and after a long time, she was completely disappointed in Cheng Gang, and she didn't care about it for a long time, and even had the idea of not wanting to live. She was pregnant, and at that time, she was 28 years old. She never got pregnant a few years ago, but she got pregnant so suddenly, she always felt impossible, and the doctor told her that although this situation was rare, it was also there.

The shop closed early that day, and she thought that if the baby could be born, maybe everything would go back to the good times it used to be. She went to see the store that sold baby clothes, and already had expectations for the future, but when she returned to the store, she found Cheng Gang with an angry face, and there were already several empty wine bottles next to him. Cheng Gang directly asked her where she went, and she directly told him the news of her pregnancy, who thought that Cheng Gang didn't believe it at all, for him, he had been married for so many years without children, how could he get pregnant as soon as he arrived in the city.

She was beaten again that day, from the first dodging to begging for mercy, to the later miscarriage, she lay on the ground like a dead man, blood staining her pants red, and the ground was soaked in a blinding red. Her tears flowed, but she was indifferent. And Cheng Gang, it was at that time that she believed that she was really pregnant, but she destroyed the child with her own hands.

From that time on, the relationship between Cheng Xiuxiu and Cheng Gang was like a freezing point, the two lived and worked in the store like strangers, and returned to their hometown together during the Chinese New Year, until this time, Cheng Xiuxiu killed Cheng Gang with his own hands.

Bai Yifan was making notes beside her, but her heart was very sad, and she asked cautiously, "Since it happened so many years ago, why did you choose to kill him now?" ”

Cheng Xiuxiu coughed softly, since the miscarriage that year, her health has become very bad, and the doctor told her that her physique is special, and it is difficult to get pregnant, and after the miscarriage, she can no longer get pregnant. "Because last year, my parents died. I don't want them to know that their daughter is such a person, and I don't want them to know what I've been like all these years. ”

There was silence in the interrogation room, and in the room next to it, Ye Xiaoxiao and Cheng Jiaxuan both took a deep breath.

"Tell me the details of your murder," Han Yu's voice sounded.

"That morning, I brought him a bottle of wine, which had been given to him by a friend of his, a bottle of Guojiao 1573. Before I went out, I put the wine on the stove, he has been addicted to drinking for many years, as long as he sees wine, he will definitely drink it. I used to clean the grease in the kitchen every once in a while, but for this time, I deliberately didn't clean it for a long time. He has a habit of drinking, he likes to drink in large gulps, and if he doesn't have a cup, he will drink directly with a wine bottle, so every time he drinks, he will spill everywhere, and there are also on his clothes. I thought that such a dangerous place by the stove could be burned if he spilled a little wine on the fire. Cheng Xiuxiu paused for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled, "Originally, I didn't plan to burn him, I thought that I could burn him to serious injury, but I didn't expect God to help me." The grease accumulated and burned, and with the wine, he was burned to death. ”

"Did you lock the kitchen door?"

"The kitchen door?" Cheng Xiuxiu was obviously stunned, and then reacted, "Oh, I locked the kitchen door last night, I will clean it every night, and then lock the kitchen door." But it didn't affect him, he went straight into the kitchen through another door every day, usually I was in the store, so I would open the kitchen door, and I planned to go out that day, and I didn't open the door when I left. ”

Bai Yifan stabbed Han Yu's arm, Han Yu looked at her, and saw that the paper in front of her wrote: Can I ask her a question that has little to do with the case?

Han Yu thought for a moment and nodded.

Bai Yifan opened his mouth and asked, "Back then, Cheng Gang treated you so much, why didn't you choose to divorce?" ”

Cheng Xiuxiu obviously didn't expect Bai Yifan to ask her like this, she lowered her head, her eyes gradually moistened, and after a while, she sighed deeply and said, "In those days, gossip was much more terrifying than being beaten. If I had been divorced by then, even if I had been able to live in the city, my parents would not have been able to stand the words in the village. ”

After the interrogation, Cheng Chunmei was also released, Ye Xiaoxiao and the others looked at Cheng Chunmei's back, she was old, she walked very slowly, and she looked gentle, no one might have thought of the things she had done.

Ye Xiaoxiao smoked a cigarette and said viciously, "I really want to beat people!" ”

"Maybe, we can do Cheng Xiuxiu a favor." Cheng Jiaxuan frowned and thought about it, several people looked at him, everyone reacted in unison, it seemed that they wanted to go to one place.

Bai Yifan ran the fastest, and said as he ran, "I'm the best at finding people." ”

On the third day of Cheng Xiuxiu's imprisonment, she was informed that someone had come to see her, and she was surprised that she had no relatives or friends in this world. When she saw the person coming, her eyes instantly moistened, it was Wu Chao.

He is a lot older, but he is more elegant, he wears a pair of glasses and a coat, and when he sees Cheng Xiuxiu, he can't help but burst into tears. The two of them were separated by a glass, and Cheng Xiuxiu took the lead in asking, "How have you been doing all these years?" ”

Wu Chao nodded, "I'm doing well, you, why don't you come to me, I'm also in Linhua." ”

Cheng Xiuxiu shook her head and said, "I don't want to disturb you, what are you doing now?" ”

"I went to university and stayed in the university as a teacher."

"That's good, I knew you'd be out." Cheng Xiuxiu smiled.

"Why didn't you come to me, why didn't you come to me." Wu Chao's tears had already flowed out, and he muttered and repeated this sentence, as if he was asking Cheng Xiuxiu if he was telling himself again.

"It's okay, didn't I come here?" Cheng Xiuxiu was also a little choked, "Can I trouble you with something?" ”

"You say."

"I don't know anyone in this world, although I have friends, I don't want to trouble people. So, I want to ask you, when I die, can you find a cemetery for my ashes, I have saved some money, enough to buy a cemetery. I don't want to go back to that place when I die. ”

Wu Chao couldn't cry, nodded and agreed.

If time could be turned back, if everything could be re-chosen, would there be another better ending? But there are no ifs in the world, and nothing can be done all over again.

Have you ever despaired? When the candle of hope is blown out again and again, after the years when everyone has abandoned you, in the darkness where you can't see the light.

With the last bit of effort, you raise your swollen eyes to see the warmth of the world, but you find that you can't see anything.

I had hoped that you would come to me, in the long river of time, you broke through all obstacles, came to me, I heard your voice, thought of your words, found you in the fog!
