12. The boundless rain is as thin as sorrow
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the unpredictable marriage!
When I came to Xiaoxia's door, I let out a deep breath and rang the doorbell.
During this time, I kept staring at the floor with my head down, motionless on the surface, but already in a mess in my heart.
After a while, there was no movement, so I pressed it again, and kept pressing.
Akihiko calmly patted me on the shoulder, "You try to ring the doorbell next door." ”
"You mean she's hiding next door?"
He smiled wryly and shook his head, "I'm asking you to ask your next-door neighbors if they've been home lately. If you are in, if you can't open it then, it's already very telling, and there's no need to press it again, right? ”
I woke up from a dream and rang the doorbell next door.
After a while, the door opened, but through an iron gate, we could only see through the sparse gap that it was an elderly lady.
The old lady stared at us several times, muttered that she didn't know us, and said that her son and daughter-in-law had gone to work, and asked us if we were bad people and wanted to lie to her as an old woman.
I was almost amused by the old lady, do the bad guys still admit that they are bad guys?
"Mother-in-law, we just want to ask you about the family next door who is home recently?"
The old lady tilted her ear, "Next door? Then he tilted his head and thought, "Do you mean the one with a lot of noisy children?" ”
I nodded hurriedly, "yes, it's her house." ”
The eldest lady immediately pursed her mouth, moved closer to me, and whispered, "Often she is alone with the children, and her husband is out doing business and rarely comes back." In this case, men have to have other thoughts outside. There were nights when I couldn't sleep, and I woke up in the middle of the night and heard a whining cry. Eighty percent of it was her. This husband has someone else outside, but he doesn't have the ability to leave, and he can only watch the woman, the most pitiful. ”
The eldest lady said with her eyes staring, and I felt sour when I heard it.
"Have you seen her lately? Is she at home? ”
The eldest lady squinted her eyes and frowned, "It's been a long time since I woke up in the middle of the night and didn't hear crying, this sooner or later, there is no more noise from children." I remember......" she deflated her toothless mouth again, "yes, I think I heard my son say that they had moved away." It looks like I've moved to some big villa. ”
"Do you know the exact location? Or does your son know? ”
The eldest lady shook her head, "How do I know, I listened to my son." Why don't you ask my son, he still has ......" She flipped out her old phone and looked at it, picked up her fingers and counted them, but said happily, "I'll be back in more than eight hours!" ”
Akihiko and I glanced at each other, and both sighed softly.
After saying goodbye to the old lady, we went to the security room again and told us that the house had been sold, and they really didn't know where the original occupants had moved.
After Xiaoxia's clue was broken like this, I saw Qiu Yan take out the phone and go a little farther away and call someone. When he came back, he told me that I would leave it to the private investigator first, and that we would go to the police station first.
Once there, things weren't so rosy. Although Akihiko has his way, it is not impossible to find insiders to interrogate the suspect. But the suspect was reportedly beaten for a while by some of the overly emotional crowd of onlookers during the arrest, and the brain was severely damaged.
So now it's time to sleep and wake up, in a daze. Not to mention arraignment, sometimes I can't even react to my own name.
It seems that it will be difficult for a while to make a further breakthrough here.
Fortunately, it was not for nothing. This time, the police who received us were much more attentive than the previous ones, not only took us to the original police station to retrieve the file, but also ordered a new investigation on the suspicions.
After leaving the police station, the policeman took me to the seaside hut where the accident happened that day.
Far away, my legs were already shaking. Until the moment he pushed the door in, the unexplained nervousness turned into unparalleled sadness. There was a burst of heat and humidity in the eyes. Thinking of the heart-rending pain and the desperate and helpless scream that day, my heart twisted into a ball.
Akihiko and the police discussed the dossier on the sidelines, occasionally asking me a question or two, and I answered truthfully, feeling gloomy.
Staring blankly at the windowsill, I remembered that my baby had been there screaming and waiting for me to save her, but I had lost her in the end, and I didn't even have the courage to walk over and take another look.
I didn't want to indulge in grief again, so I quickly retracted my thoughts and listened carefully to the conversation between them.
Qiu Yan looked at the door, looked at the file again, frowned and said to the police, "In this way, according to the information provided by the witnesses, since Tang Yiyi entered this room, I haven't seen anyone out of the house until the police came." Then after the police arrived, Tang Yiyi was the only one inside? ”
The policeman nodded affirmatively.
Qiu Yan took out a cigarette, handed one to the policeman, lit it himself and took a sharp puff, "But it doesn't make sense, Tang Yiyi said that she was knocked unconscious, and then she felt that she was moved by that person." So how could a big living person disappear inexplicably? ”
The policeman nodded solemnly, "At that time, because the client was delirious and was diagnosed with schizophrenia, our colleagues thought that the credibility of the client's testimony was not high, and they were more inclined to the witness who took pictures and videos with his mobile phone." ”
After Akihiko sighed, he took a few more puffs of cigarette, and his eyes flashed, "Then if you say... Whether it was an eyewitness or Tang Yiyi, didn't lie? ”
The policeman pondered for a moment, staring straight at the windowsill, "Then there is only one explanation, the real suspect escaped in a way that was unaware before the police arrived." ”
Akihiko walked straight over, touched the windowsill, and looked at the sea again, "If you want to escape, it seems that the only way is from here." But what exactly is the method? Also, how did the child get away? What is the way to escape from the ledge without being detected? ”
After the policeman sighed helplessly, he patted him on the shoulder from behind, and said sincerely, "Don't worry, I will send someone to continue to investigate according to this line of thought." ”
After Akihiko glanced at me inquiringly, and saw that I nodded in a trance, he smiled faintly at the policeman, "Okay, it seems that I can only go here for the time being." If there is any progress, please be sure to let us know as soon as possible, thank you. ”
The policeman changed his previous seriousness and said with a shy smile, "Brother, where are you talking?" In any case, your sister will always be my sister-in-law, and we are a family after all. One family, don't talk two families. ”
Sister-in-law?
Sister?
Akihiko also has a sister, where is it? How come I haven't seen it? Even if you are married, why haven't you heard your family mention it?
But after thinking about it, I've only been here for a few days, and I'm not an important person, so do people tell you anything? It's normal not to know.
Besides, is this the time to worry about this?
After all this tossing, I originally planned to go to the neighborhood where I lived before, but when I looked at the time, it was almost time for the children to leave school, so we left the police and drove to the school.
This time, Akihiko didn't let me drive, and took the initiative to talk to me, "Don't be discouraged, although it seems that progress is a little slower on the surface, as long as the child is alive, there is hope, isn't it?" ”
I nodded solemnly, "I just can't figure it out, how did I offend this woman?" Why is she so deliberately trying to harm me? ”
"Didn't you always suspect that it was your ex-husband's affair?"
I was a little confused, "I thought it was because it seemed like the most reasonable explanation." ”
After hearing this, he raised his eyebrows, "The most reasonable?" Does that mean there were other doubts before? ”
I smiled bitterly, "Yes, when I was almost pushed off the cliff at first, the first thing I suspected was my mother-in-law. Then I received a series of strange emails in the mailbox of the company's work, and I suspected that it was my new boss Hu Lili. "I think it's ridiculous to say it, "Now that I think about it, I may have been really scared stupid at the time, and I suspect whoever I caught." ”
Qiu Yan shook his head calmly, "Do you think that this is actually the real intention of that person?" ”
My heart shook, "What do you mean?" ”
"When she pushes you, you can use a little more force, so that it will be in vain? But why not? This shows that she didn't mean to kill you alone, at least not physically. ”
Speaking of this, Qiu Yan paused, and there was a strange coldness in his eyes, "She just wants to make you fall into fear and make you doubt everything around you." And then because of your suspicions, you turn everyone around you away from you, disgusted with you, and think that you are really crazy. At that point, you will truly fall into the boundless hell. No one believes, no one understands, and no one hears anything to the world goes unanswered. That feeling, it seems to be alive, but it is not even as good as death. ”
I nodded thoughtfully, "yes, I never thought that she would have died more than once if she had killed me over and over again." It turned out that she wanted to drive me crazy more than kill me. But why? What's in driving me crazy? ”
Akihiko said in a tone, "Benefits? It's nothing more than wanting you to experience the kind of pain she once experienced. How boring it is to end your life in three or two, stay and torture slowly, and watch you live worse than death, for her, it may be the only happiness in this world! ”
