Chapter 4: Mimosa (1)
The afternoon sun shone through the yellowed old glass on Xu Yang's bed, making his quilt soft and fluffy. The quilt cover in the welfare home is washed quite diligently, so there is always a smell of inferior laundry detergent mixed with disinfectant on the quilt.
Actually, if you get used to it, it smells pretty good.
Xu Yang reclined on his bed, thinking: Spring is so good.
He pillowed one of his arms and narrowed his eyes.
The light was so strong that everything in front of him was blurred, and the light and shadow overlapped, and he seemed to return to his childhood, where the bed was no longer a bed, but a soft and damp grass, and the shadows on his face became shade.
Where does the shadow come from? Xu Yang thought.
He remembered, it was a pot of mimosas on the windowsill.
Mimosa is raised by Du Pearl, no, to be exact, it is raised by Xiaozhuang Anyway, Du Pearl said so.
This pot of mimosas is her treasure, and no one is allowed to touch it.
However, Du Pearl went out that day, went into the city with the dean to purchase, and solemnly entrusted the mimosa to Xu Yang before leaving.
Since that day, Du Pearl has not returned.
Xu Yang reached out and touched the mimosa, and its leaves immediately curled up. Did Du Pearl want to leave a long time ago? Sending this pot of flowers is saying goodbye to him, right?
Why go? How good the welfare home is, everyone is not mentally normal, and no one will look down on anyone. Xu Yang thought.
While he was thinking, there was the sound of a car in the yard.
Xu Yang hesitated for a moment and decided to get up and take a look.
There was once a lost partner who was sent back by the police, will Du Pearl also be sent back?
Although it is extremely unlikely, they are friends, and Du Pearl has always taken good care of him, Xu Yang still hopes that Du Pearl can come back.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed.
Two men got out of the car.
The two tall and tall men were normal at first glance, and they were different from them.
In the welfare home, such normal people are an anomaly.
Xu Yang hates aliens, just like he was once hated by normal people.
He decided to ignore them and continue to bask in the sun.
Just as Xu Yang shrank his head and was about to lie down, he vaguely saw the man who got out of the passenger seat glancing at his window.
It's annoying. Xu Yang yawned.
……
Yan Sixian did see a window on the second floor, and a figure flashed by.
He also noticed that the potted plant on the windowsill inside seemed to be a little more interesting than the other bare windows.
When the dean came out to shake hands with the two, Yan Sixian decided to wait and look at the people in the room.
"I heard that you were going to investigate, but I didn't dare to go out to do anything today, and I've been waiting here."
The dean was a middle-aged woman in her 40s, wearing a white coat and a pair of blue sleeves, and although her hair was permed, she was not draped, but neatly tied behind her head.
Because of the long contact with the mentally ill, the dean spoke softly, and some words were directly used in the air sound, which made people feel as if they were talking to a kindergarten teacher.
"Come on, come in, this is my office." The dean invited the two of them to sit down, poured water for them again, and asked a little nervously, "The policeman who called me said...... Say Du Pearl kills? Are you sure? ”
"Really, she slashed one person in the street, and the injured person died after failing to rescue him.
And Du Pearl was arrested on the spot, there were multiple witnesses, and she herself admitted the fact of the murder. ”
The dean rubbed his temples and muttered, "How so...... It can't be......"
"You don't seem to be receptive." Wu Duandao.
"yes...... Because when Du Pearl was in the hospital, except for always talking to her imaginary Xiaozhuang, she was just like a normal person in other aspects, and the doctor also said that she was delusional, as long as she didn't provoke her Xiaozhuang, she would not be aggressive......
Not only is she not aggressive, but she is also very active in her work, rushing to take care of other mentally ill people...... I thought that Xiao Zhuang might have stimulated her maternal side, so that she would care so much about taking care of others......
You haven't seen it, and if you did, you wouldn't believe her murderous ......"
Wu Duan asked again, "Then how did she get lost?"
At the mention of this, the dean rubbed his hands uncomfortably.
"I was negligent, I didn't look at her...... Usually when I go out to shop, I go out with the driver Xiao Zhao, but that time, I ...... Du Pearl came to beg me, saying that she hadn't seen her sister for a long time, and Xiaozhuang also missed her aunt, so I took her to my sister's house by the way and went back to have a look.
Taking her out is risky, I should think about it more, but ...... Du Pearl usually behaves really well, so I let my guard down.
Besides, I also want to go to her sister's house to see, what's going on with this family, just throw money at the welfare home, we are a charitable welfare home, her family is in difficulty, she can't look at it without collecting money, right? Just leave it alone?
Ay! Originally, I wanted to do a good thing, but now the good thing has become a bad thing, and in the end, I am not right, I am too negligent...... I really didn't expect her to get lost and ...... Kill someone, hey! ”
Wu Duan asked, "When did she get lost?"
"On April 5th."
"Qingming Festival?"
"Well, so I remember it pretty well."
"It's been lost for more than half a month, and you didn't call the police? Didn't inform her family either? ”
"I went to the police station in the area to report to the police...... But if a madman gets lost, where will the police care? As for her family, I left her in the welfare home anyway, and I ...... "The director knew that he was wrong, and his voice became quieter and quieter.
However, she quickly adjusted her mentality again, and continued: "Okay, I admit it, I'm afraid that Du Zhu's family will find us trouble to take care of mental illness, even if my own family watches, it may also be lost, but people get lost from us, that is equivalent to giving her sister a handle, and her sister's family conditions are not good, in case she comes to blackmail money, ......."
Wu Duan understood that the director of the welfare institute was an ostrich, and he would only bury his head in the soil if something happened.
Naturally, someone will be held accountable for the responsibility of the welfare home, Wu Duan didn't want to say more, and continued to ask: "Can you tell me how Du Pearl was lost?"
"By the way, I almost forgot that we had an accident that day, it wasn't a big accident, it was just that our van scraped with someone else.
The driver Xiao Zhao and I got out of the car to solve the problem with the other party.
It's the other party's full responsibility, but the scratching is not serious at all, whether it's private or insurance, we have no opinion, but the other party's man's ...... Oh, that tangled, for a while, like this, and like that, I can't wait to tell him that I don't have to pay.
In the end, I lost 200 yuan to us, and when I returned to the car, I found that Du Pearl was no longer in the car, and I didn't know when she left. ”
Wu Duan glanced at Yan Sixian, and Yan Sixian nodded slightly, meaning that he also felt that this accident was strange.
