Chapter 11: The Flower of Death

The poppy is the flower of death that "loves but can't". How can a mother give a handkerchief embroidered with poppies to her child?

Zhuang Ling called the police station and asked them to bring Li Zhiyuan here.

Li Zhiyuan, who had been in prison for a few days, suddenly saw such a beautiful hometown after the rain, and his eyes were unwavering for a long time. Perhaps this situation reminded him of the time he used to have in this town. That cloud, that wisp of smoke, that piece of soil, that flower, all carry the memories of his childhood. He doesn't like words, and he must have an irreparable wound in his heart. He once slept soundly on this land, and he would never sleep in the dirt again. Once left here the cheerful steps of children, but now the step into it is heavy.

Zhuang Ling took the detained Li Zhiyuan to the door of Li Fu's house and asked Li Zhiyuan to put his foot on the footprint at the door to compare.

Everyone's eyes shifted to Li Zhiyuan's feet. It just matched the shoe print.

"Did you come here the night you came back? What are you doing here? ”

"Yes. I came here to get my things, which were the handkerchiefs my mother had left for me. ”

"The mother you are talking about is not Liu Mei, you knew three years ago that they were not your biological parents and never came back. But after all, they raised you, how can you ignore them? This is a letter written by Li Fu to you, take a look. Zhuang Ling handed the letter to Li Zhiyuan, watching Li Zhiyuan's subtle expression change.

Li Zhiyuan held back tears and looked at the letter full of emotion and familiar handwriting. Suddenly, he crumpled the letter, frowned, and roared.

Everyone present was terrified and hastened to detain him even tighter.

Li Zhiyuan's emotions were very excited, he threw the letter to the ground fiercely, his face was hideous, his eyes showed hatred, and he roared with a red face: "My biological parents were killed by them!" Why, why did they raise me and not kill me! ”

Li Zhiyuan has been calm since he was detained. How could such a gentle person kill people with such cruel methods, Zhuang Ling suspected that there was something wrong with his judgment. But now, he seems to be a different person, like a demon hunting in the dark, ready to vent his desire to kill on a certain prey. Li Zhiyuan in front of him is irritable, extreme, and aggressive, and has the characteristics of a "bad guy", so Zhuang Ling is even more determined that he is a murderer.

"Calm down." Zhuang Ling asked Li Zhiyuan to sit down. Everyone present was silent, wanting Li Zhiyuan to calm down.

A minute passed, and Li Zhiyuan gradually calmed down.

"I don't know how my parents died, three years ago my dad and my mom, no, it was Li Fu and Liu Mei who told me that they were not my biological parents, they said that my parents did something wrong and were hunted down, but they saved me. I believe it, and I am grateful for their life-saving grace and nurturing grace. When I left for work again, I received a secret text message. These are those two text messages, which I keep all the time. ”

Li Zhiyuan took out his mobile phone. His phone text messages were emptied except for those two secret messages. "I've called this number, but no one answered."

The first text message was received on February 14, 2015, and it read: "Hello, Li Zhiyuan. You must already know that Li Fu and Liu Mei are not your biological parents. Your biological father's name is Jiang Hong, and your mother's name is Tang Ling. Your real name is Jiang Yuan. Your biological parents were killed by Li Fu and Liu Mei. I'll tell you about that later. - Mysterious Stranger"

Li Zhiyuan read the text message and said: "I wasn't sure what he said at the time, because I didn't believe that my biological parents were killed by Li Fu and Liu Mei, and they worked hard to raise me." Later, I checked a lot of information, but I couldn't find the cause of my parents' death. However, I never went home because I wanted to find out the truth and didn't want to take the enemy as my parents. It wasn't until this year that I received a second text message. ”

The text message reads: "More than 40 years ago, your biological mother was Li Fu's wife, and she loved Li Fu very much. Li Fu used to open a pottery company and was a wealthy man. Later, Lee paid for his derailment, and your mother divorced him. Tang Ling was so grief-stricken that she even changed to depression. Lonely and lonely, she began to embroider flowers, and loved to embroider poppies, because the beauty of this flower is the love of death that makes people destroy in a psychedelic, the corrosive agent that makes people wither in anesthesia, and the trap full of temptations, which makes people irreversible, just like her failed marriage. A few years later, she met Jiang Hong, although he was very poor, but he gave Tang Ling hope for life, and soon they gave birth to you. But Li Fu and his second wife Liu Mei couldn't have children. So, Li Fu wanted to snatch you from Tang Ling. But Tang Ling and Jiang Hong didn't agree. On the evening of Valentine's Day on February 14, 1978, Tang Ling and Jiang Hong took a walk on the mountain. Li Fu, who learned of their whereabouts, found someone to assassinate them on the mountain. The body was thrown into the river in the town of Yinxi, but Li Fu was not later convicted. I'll tell you the reasons for that later. - Mysterious Stranger" text message was received on February 13, 2018, the night before Li Fu and Liu Mei's accident.

Zhuang Ling read the text message word by word and asked Li Zhiyuan: "After you read this text message, you want to avenge your biological parents, right?"

"Yes. I flew back the next day. That evening, I went home and met them. Then I had them go with me to the river for a walk, to kill them in this hidden place, and then to push them into the river to bury my parents. I knocked them unconscious with a small clay pot by the river, and I didn't know if they were dead or not, and then I ran. In order not to leave traces of the crime, I always wore gloves. The next day I found out on the news that they were dead. I didn't stay at this hotel for a few nights, and I didn't check out, so I found another hotel in the city and wanted to stay away from that place for a few days, I don't know if I killed them that night. ”

Li Zhiyuan's eyes were slightly red, and he wiped away the tears on his face with his palm, and wiped it with the back of his hand when his palm was wet. He wanted to avenge his biological parents, but he didn't expect the deaths of Li Fu and Liu Mei to deeply pierce his heart.

The housing records he dictated were completely consistent with what Zhuang Ling had learned, and Zhuang Ling believed that he had not lied this time. "The corpses at the scene were packed in clay pots, indicating that someone else came after you. However, we don't know if you killed them. So you're not out of suspicion. ”

Zhuang Ling looked around, and suddenly he saw a figure. Sun Hongfei was silently watching this scene from the window of his house at this time, he looked at Li Zhiyuan, who was angry and grieved, and saw him being detained, thinking that he was the murderer, and kept wiping his tears with his hands.

"I also want to take you to meet someone who may know about your biological parents."
