"She just left? It's as simple as that? "I don't fully believe in the ending of the story, I always feel like something is missing in a certain ring." Have you ever tried to find her? Maybe she just left ...... angry."

"Of course I searched, I searched almost all over the city, and even all over Shandong, but she ...... But she really just disappeared, melting like snowflakes in the cold of winter. There was no more news, and in an instant it vanished without a trace. ”

"I think she must have been really disappointed in me, or disgusted with everything that belonged to me." Ah Zhong's eyes seemed to be hollowed out, hollow and a little scary, but after a moment, he regained his calm. "But this was all ten years ago, and I'm used to living without her all these years, maybe her leaving like this should be the best ending for me."

I've heard too many stories, and Ah Zhong's story is actually not the first, the love triangle has long been the most cliché plot in the world, but this is the first time I've heard this kind of situation where one party leaves silently.

The tragic ending is all caused by people, and these pains are actually due to Ah Zhong's affection, even if he embellishes it so beautifully with beautiful words, it cannot hide his guilt in it.

It turns out that the reason why he said that a person will not love only one person in his life is just because he himself is a poor person who is trapped in it, I don't realize that he is a person without affection, because whether it is talking about Qingzheng or Han Ke, the light in his eyes is sincere, I believe that he is sincere to everyone, but in this world, it is an original sin to give sincerity to everyone.

"When Qing Zheng left, half of the house at the bottom of the mountain had been built, and she was still digging the first floor of the pool, and she told me countless times that she wanted to watch the moonlight shine quietly by the pool in the future." Ah Zhong silently put the pipe back into the small drawer, so carefully that he was afraid that he would damage the treasure. "I insisted on building the hillside house because it was a promise between the two of us, and every brick and tile was the same as we had envisioned at the time. Just ......"

"It's just that the person you shared it with is no longer there."

"Yes, it's just that the person is no longer there, maybe she has left this world, or maybe she has a new life, but no matter what, she doesn't belong to me anymore." Ah Zhong said. "Later, Han Ke moved in, she is a Buddhist person, usually likes to do more good deeds, she hopes to provide some spare houses for some passers-by to use, I think this is very meaningful and agreed to her, so there is today's mountain bottom residence."

Time passed minute by minute, the sunset turned into night, the daylight went out, the street lamps were lit, I saw through the window the shape of Mount Tai not far away, it was still so sure and clear, the starlight lights were shining in the trees, I didn't expect that time could pass so quickly when I heard the story.

I knew that it was close to dinner time, and before that, I had to say the last question in my mind, and it was also the question that came to my mind the first time I saw Ah Zhong and the moment I saw him hugging Han Ke.

Zhang ...... Brother Zhang Zhong, I also want to hear the story after your previous wife left. I asked tentatively. That is, the matter between you and Mrs. Han Ke. ”

"Well, there's nothing to say about this." Ah Zhong said it very plainly. "After that, it was a very normal life, and I naturally married Han Ke as my wife, and five years later, she gave birth to her son Xiaotian, and then it is what you see today."

"There is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." I whispered.

"Boss Liu, it's okay for you to talk about it, today I have told you all the past things I don't want to touch, what else can't be said, what can't be said?" Ah Zhong smiled faintly, and then said calmly. "It's really strange today, I actually told so many things to a man I met for the first time, haha, Boss Liu, you really have magic in you."

I took a deep breath because my next question actually involved more privacy, and although Ah Zhong was very kind, I was still prepared for the possibility that he would reject me. "Brother Zhang Zhong, did your relationship with Mrs. Han Ke change a little after that?"

"What?"

"I mean...... Are you and Mrs. Han still as affectionate as before? Is it really together, but it's not as beautiful as that? "I tried to be more tactful.

This question really stunned Zhang Zhong, his expression suddenly panicked, I sat with him for so long, I almost recorded his expression, even when he told the story of his extramarital affair, there was no such panic on his face.

"You...... Haha, Boss Liu, are you kidding? Why do you think my relationship with my current wife is not good? He suddenly laughed again. I didn't even know there was such a thing? ”

"Because I know from Mrs. Han Ke's words that it seems that Brother Zhang hasn't been home for a long time?" I asked rhetorically, but my tone was still calm. "Am I right?"

"Hahaha, Boss Liu judged that my wife and I had a bad relationship just because I didn't come home often, which seems to be a bit excessive." Ah Zhong looked at me seriously, and that made me start to shake my own thoughts several times. "Well, the biggest reason why I don't come back here much is because of work, after Qingzheng left, I was the only one left to manage the company, and the two of us worked hard to create the company, and I definitely wanted him to maintain it with all my might, so I became more active and began to put more energy into my work."

I didn't say anything more, just waited for Ah Zhong to finish everything he could say.

"As the company grows bigger and bigger, I naturally have less and less time to be free, isn't it normal for Boss Liu?"

"Brother Zhang, I'm not a detective, I'm not a journalist, I'm just curious about some things." I hurriedly explained. "As for what it looks like, it's actually a private matter of the eldest brother, don't take it to heart."

"Haha. It doesn't matter, in fact, Boss Liu is not the first person to ask this question, and there are many friends who care about me before asking similar questions, so it's not strange. Ah Zhong said with a smile. My relationship with Han Ke is still very good, and after that, I naturally learned a lesson, and I have feelings for anyone else, I can't stand any pain anymore, Han Ke is now my only one. ”

In this way, Ah Zhong's words are indeed quite normal, but I still feel incredible that he has been away from home for a long time, even if he is busy with work, it is very easy to live at home, so Ah Zhong must have other reasons for being away all year round.

"Brother Zhang, I believe that your relationship with your wife is sincere, I just wonder if you really rarely go home because of work? But you said before that you are a person who yearns for freedom and relaxation, and this mountain dwelling should be the most relaxing place for you, even if you are busy with work, you don't need to stay outside all the time. ”

"Hey......" Ah Zhong exhaled, and a smile appeared on his face again. It seems that all this really can't be hidden from Boss Liu's eyes, in fact, the reason why I don't go back to the bottom of the mountain is more because there are too many memories here, and every time I come back here, I think of Qingzheng ......"

"So that's ......" says that, and everything makes sense.

Although the words make sense, it still feels weird, and I don't know what the problem is? Over the years, my life has made me extremely sensitive, and I always have a clear sense of what is problematic.

I recalled Zhang Zhong's expression when he hugged Han Ke again, that picture impressed me deeply, the faces of these two people showed completely different expressions, Han Ke's face was full of happiness, but Ah Zhong's face was only tired, maybe he was really tired, but I really couldn't see a trace of love on his face, a person's eyes would not lie.

And Ah Zhong is a very melancholy and vicissitudes of life, when I just talked to him, he was a sad face most of the time, but when he just answered the last few questions of mine, he kept smiling.

A person who is accustomed to coldness suddenly smiles, and one has to wonder, what is he trying to hide?

But I decided that it would be better not to ask any further, he had already told me too many things, and it was his privacy after all, and it stands to reason that I had no right to ask. And what we are talking about seems to have nothing to do with the drowning of the old horse, which is the most important and tricky thing in front of us.

If we continue to talk like this, we may really be wasting time.

I picked up the teacup, the tea in the cup had already cooled, and the afternoon passed like this, except for knowing the origin of the mountain bottom house and Ah Zhong's emotional experience, the others seemed to be blank.

Mu Xi looked at the thick information of the parties on the table, and still couldn't swallow the sip of tea that he had buried in his mouth a long time ago. Painter, sculptor, these words jumped and twitched wildly before his eyes as if he had Parkinson's disease. Meng Yan on the sofa on the side also didn't say a word, and the silence had lasted for about 10 minutes. The leaves outside the window have been stripped of their vivid green this season, the sun shines on them with a lifeless yellow, and the curved outline of the skyline makes the whole picture look like an old photograph.

。

Finally, Meng Yan decided to break the silence, he slowly stood up, the moment the sofa foot rubbed against the wooden floor, his voice finally became a string of fireworks that destroyed this silent world, "Lao Mu, it's not me saying you, this case, we shouldn't take it, this kind of case involving artists has always been a good or bad result, it is a matter of course. The characteristics of an artist are to treat the abnormal as normal, and crime as inspiration, do you remember the last time the female performance artist in Beijing was a goddess who didn't toss us to death, and this time you are still asking for hardship like this. ”

"Goo" Muxi swallowed a sip of tea hard, then took out an iron cigarette case from his jacket pocket and lit a cigarette, "I didn't want to take it at first, but the party gave me a commission that I couldn't refuse before I could reply, and I think this case is still a bit interesting to say." Mu Xi looked at his cigarette case, there were still 5 cigarettes left, he couldn't do without this thing tonight, maybe it would be another sleepless night.

"I wonder what this is. His case is 96 years old, and now it's been 16 years, almost 20 years, why is this case only being tried now. Meng Yan casually flipped through the case materials on the table.

"Do you think about what was unusual about us here twenty years ago?"

"Big brother, don't be funny, I was a primary school student twenty years ago, even if there was anything big, I didn't know."

"Do you remember when we were building the No. 9 Park here, and the whole city was in an uproar."

"Oh, Park Nine. I remember that this was our first park with an amusement park, I remember that at that time we were poor here, not to mention amusement parks, there was not even a movie theater, and finally there was such a tall thing, how could it not be heavily promoted. ”

"Do you remember that time, when this park was first built, because the project was in a hurry, the protection of the shore of the lake was not perfect, and several people drowned in the lake."

"As soon as you say that, my long-sealed memory was awakened at once, I don't know why I was always dead during that time, my mother told me every day, don't go to play next to the lake in No. 9 Park, what dragon vein is there, we alarmed the dragon vein or something." When Meng Yan said this, he felt like he had been knocked over by something, and he couldn't stop, "I was really scared at the time, and I slipped over there quickly, for fear of being caught by some dragon, now that I think about it, it's really because the project is unqualified, doesn't it mean that the city has repaired it many times later?" ”

"Yes, that's right, after the frequent accidents at that time, the leading officials probably also felt that it was because they were in a hurry to make meritorious achievements that there were so many accidents, and they were afraid that the families of those victims would make a big publicity, so they privately compensated the families of those who had accidents. So after half a year, no one mentioned this matter much, and the city reinforced and rebuilt it several times, and nothing happened after that. Our case is related to a little girl who drowned at the time. As Muxi spoke, the cigarette was already halfway smoked, and the ash stuck to it and was crumbling.

"This kind of case should be difficult to confirm, because the scene must have been very chaotic at that time, and there is no sufficient evidence to confirm how the little girl fell into the water."

"Yes, but the party insisted that he pushed the little girl down, and it was true that that time was the time when the party was in school in Pingyuan County, in this case, the police department had to conduct an in-depth investigation of the party, and then found that the party had symptoms of schizophrenia, and after sending it to the hospital for confirmation by a psychiatrist, it was found that the party's schizophrenia was very serious, and the sub-personality did have "aggressive" characteristics. However, this situation is indeed quite special, and it has not been possible to fully confirm the case, so the trial has been entrusted until now. ”

"Therefore, the police department can only default to the fact that the person concerned is the murderer, and now the problem is that this kind of multiple personality crimes, how to determine the sentence, right?" Mu Xi silently walked to the window, and the wind suddenly rose outside the window, but the cool wind in autumn more or less made him a little more sober.

"In fact, there is no clear qualitative method for this kind of case, which is different from the general mental illness that can directly escape criminal prosecution, because although it is multiple personalities, because each personality is actually clear thinking, but if we can confirm which personality the person killed the person and confirm that the normal personality of the person is not deliberately releasing this aggressive personality, and then after treatment, the aggressive personality can be eliminated in the brain of the person, and the person can be acquitted."

"Then we will maintain a neutral attitude in court at that time, and there will definitely be a psychologist present to talk to the parties at that time, and we will confirm it according to the parties' descriptions of the case, right?"

"It's right to be neutral, but I still hope that the person concerned can be exempted from prosecution as much as possible, or in fact, the person may not be the murderer, and if he can save people, he will not kill people." Zhao Yu's cigarette had been extinguished at his fingertips because of a long period of idleness, and he had already rekindled the cigarette while he was saying this.

"In any case, it is necessary for us to talk to the client again before the formal trial to see what his situation is." Xie Ming took off his coat hanging on the hanger,

"Let's go, without further ado, I'll drive this time."
