Chapter 44: The Sheep's Fear
Qiao Yuqing said and raised her hand to brush the long hair next to her ear, saw the scar on her wrist, and continued: "I committed suicide several times, but it was before there was Ke'er, she was like a gift from God, I wanted to grow up with her, buy her a beautiful dress, and take her to all the places she wanted, but all this was ruined by that devil!" β
"You're talking about Guan Yonghui?" Kaneko asked.
"Yes, it's him, the guy who hurt me when I was seven years old."
"Why didn't your parents call the police at the time?"
Qiao Yuqing shook her head, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"They didn't want to make a big deal out of it, they thought it would be better if less people knew about it, so we moved out very quickly."
The pen in Kaneko's hand kept tapping on the table, and it seemed that he was not in a very good mood.
"You go on."
"At the beginning of this year, I accidentally met him in the supermarket near my home, and he recognized me at a glance, in fact, I don't remember his appearance so deeply, I didn't expect him to follow me to the door of the house, and then went to the kindergarten to block me and my daughter, I was very scared... I'm afraid he'll treat my daughter like he's done to me. β
"And then?"
"It's the convenience store video that your police got, and I shoved a piece of paper on him that day to get rid of his entanglement. I told him to go to my house in the early morning of the 20th, my husband was not at home on a business trip, and the door would not be locked, and it could be opened with a card. He believed it and came, so I knocked him on the head with the stone ornaments at home, and when Wang Kexing came back, I put on Guan Yonghui's clothes and tore with him in the dark, but I didn't expect him to fall down because of drunkenness, and fainted on the coffee table. β
"Later, you stabbed Guan Yonghui in the heart with a boning knife, right?"
"Yes, he was awake by then, so I sat on him for a while... TwiceΒ·Β· Three timesΒ·Β·Β· I vented all my anger for so many years, and instead of feeling scared, I was happy that I could protect my daughter by doing so. β
I sighed helplessly and said, "Why don't you choose to call the police, call the police when he threatens you and Kerr." β
Qiao Yuqing smiled helplessly, her smile contained bitterness and doubt.
"How long."
"What, for how long?"
"How long can the police protect me? Or how long can Guan Yonghui be put in prison? You have set the devil out, why? Why don't you let him die in prison! β
Kaneko scolded loudly: "Even then you have no right to deprive others of their lives, you have to be responsible for yourself, for your children, not to take extreme revenge." β
Qiao Yuqing no longer refutes, but I don't see any remorse in her eyes, and to this day she still thinks that she did nothing wrong.
"It may be reckless to protect the child, but should the king take responsibility for you?"
I said that Wang is feasible, Qiao Yuqing's emotions calmed down, she lowered her head and looked at the ground, and said softly: "He is not yet sixteen years old, and the sentence is very light, I thought he would come back soon, I didn't think that he would be admitted to the psychological treatment center." β
"Actually, this is what I hate about you, you are so selfish, you shouldn't have pushed another child to hell in order to fulfill your daughter's beautiful dreams."
"Comrade policeman, please tell Xiao Ke, I'm sorry for him."
I slowly stood up and took one last look at the woman, more sympathetically.
The case was closed, Lu Lingyun also returned to Fengtian City, and on a sunny afternoon, he drove me to the hospital where Wang Kexing lived.
This time he didn't try to escape, and sat alone in front of the window looking at the blue sky.
I put the fruit basket in my hand on the bedside table and walked over to him.
I knew he didn't want to answer any of my questions, so I could only say to myself: "It's feasible, Qiao Yuqing confessed, you didn't kill anyone, never." β
He suddenly lowered his head to look at me, his eyes no longer confused, but replaced by fear.
"What did you say?"
"You... Can you still talk? I was amazed, but he jerked out of his chair, grabbed me by the collar with his pale hands, and roared and shouted, "What did I ask you about!" Why did you arrest her? I killed people!! I killed it!! β
Lu Lingyun pulled Wang Kexing's hand away from behind and pushed him back into the chair.
We looked at each other and seemed to understand one thing at the same time.
Wang Kexing wanted to protect Qiao Yuqing from beginning to end.
The boy held his head in his hands, and in great pain, he curled up in his chair and cried loudly.
"Why? Why are you doing this? "I felt like I was being by the family, first the mother killed an old scoundrel for her daughter, and then the stepson willingly took responsibility for the stepmother.
There's nothing wrong with kindness, it's just that it shouldn't appear in this way, and it's hard for me to accept it for a while.
Wang Kexing calmed down for a while, wiped the tears from his face, and recounted his story.
"I don't like that woman, watching her live with my dad for so many years, depriving my dad of his care for me, I really hate her, I wish she could get out of my house right away. But then Kerr was born, and I didn't like her either, but watching her grow up day by day, I found that I had changed, no matter how unwilling I was to accept my father and that woman, I still hoped that Kerr would be happy. β
"You said you did this for your sister?"
Wang Kexing nodded and continued: "One night I came home from outside late and found that woman standing alone in the kitchen, chopping the cutting board with a boning knife, she was very scary, like crazy, she kept talking to herself, I was worried that she would hurt my dad and Ke'er, hiding at the door and listening carefully. β
"So you knew the plan in advance and decided to cooperate with her?"
"I don't know what happened to this woman when she was a child, but I can understand why she is under so much pressure, and as the last person in this family, it is not wrong for her to choose to let me carry it. Even if I leave, my father and sister will still be able to live well. β
Lu Lingyun opened the floor-to-ceiling window in front of Wang Kexing, stood on the balcony and lit a cigarette, he looked at the hospital wall in the distance, and asked, "Would you rather pretend to be sick than go home?" β
"I... I've always been a superfluous person and don't want to go back. β
"Fool, what a fool, don't you know, Ke'er always pulls strangers on the road and asks where her brother has gone? In her heart, a family of four is complete when they are by her side. I was so angry that I pointed to Wang Kexing's face and said.
My words touched his heart, and the boy, who had not yet reached the age of sixteen, burst into tears again.
"By the way, Qiao Yuqing asked me to bring you a message, she said: I'm sorry. I hope you will be okay when you are reunited as a family again. I reached out and patted him lightly on the shoulder.
