Chapter 4
1
On the Minghuang Bridge in the dream.
Late at night.
A bright moon shone coldly on the earth.
Sucher and Me1inda looked at the flowing water that didn't seem to move under the bridge.
Su Che asked, "Do those broken paper boats you found really have such writing?" ”
me1inda said: "Luo Feng and I also suspect that we are wrong, but ...... We read the handwriting and were sure it was true. ”
"It's really scary that Zhou Qian, a little girl, has such an idea."
"yes, she's a ten-year-old kid after all."
"Let a family with a child about ten years old have this kind of idea, how disappointed should Zhou Qian be in her family?"
"So, at that time, Luo Feng and I were surprised at first, and then felt that the little girl was very pitiful, and we didn't see her as such a terrible person."
"What did you do when you knew she had this idea?"
"I asked Luo Feng to go back to the Public Security Bureau, find Zhou Qian's notepad, and let him take a closer look at it again."
"Why?"
"If she really thinks like this, we all think that in that notebook, we can find some of the same state of mind that belongs to her."
"Did you find it?"
"Nope."
"If you don't find it, it's very likely that the words written on the paper boat are not from her."
"No, we don't doubt that. We had another idea. ”
"What is it?"
"Although Zhou Qian is still young, she can think that her notepad is very likely to be seen by the elders, so she will not write such words on it."
"Well, there's nothing wrong with the direction of this investigation."
"Now that she's thought of this, she's not going to let the deepest secrets of her heart appear on that notepad."
"That's true, if it were me, I wouldn't."
"Therefore, she can only write her secrets in a place where her relatives or even people she knows will not see them."
"Pinning on a paper boat?"
"Yes, the words on the paper boat will not be easily seen by others, and when they are put into the river, they will take her secrets with them......"
"If you hadn't wanted to find the paper boat, her secret would never have been revealed."
"yes, if we don't know her secret, we won't know how much she hates her parents."
"Did you tell the little girl's secret to her grandmother?"
"No, if I told her, I don't know if she can bear it psychologically."

Zhou Qian's life can reach very little.
School, my own home, my grandmother's home, there seems to be no other place to go except these three places.
There were too many people at the school, and there was no way she could hide the secret there.
In his home filled with gunpowder, there are parents who are always noisy when they eat gunpowder, so it is naturally impossible to hide the secret there.
- What's more, her secret is related to her own parents, and she certainly doesn't dare to let her secret become her own danger.
What about Grandma's house?
It was a welcoming place, a haven for her soul.
How could she possibly keep that terrible secret in the only place she had happiness?
Do you only keep secrets in your heart?
Maybe she thought about it too, but she was too young to let herself keep such a secret without resorting to others.
And in the end, she didn't choose someone else, but a paper boat.
From grandma's home to your own home, the only way to go through Minghuang Bridge.
Under the bridge is a gentle stream of water.
One day, she saw a paper boat in the flowing water, or learned to origami a boat, and became interested in it.
At first, she didn't think about writing her secret into a paper boat.
One day on the way back from her grandmother's house, or from her home to her grandmother's house, she suddenly thought that there was a folded paper boat in her school bag.
So, without much thought, she put her paper boat on the water and let it drift with the current.
Watching the paper boat quietly leave, she seemed to see something slipping away from her heart.
Later, she tore off a piece of paper with her secret written on it and folded it into a paper boat.
She put the paper boat in her bag.
When passing by the Minghuang Bridge, she put the paper boat with her secret written on it on the water.
At this time, she suddenly realized what the "something" that slipped out of her heart was.
Knowing this, she wrote her secret on a paper boat, and every time she passed by the Minghuang Bridge, she put the paper boat on the water under the bridge and watched it quietly drift away.
So, she knew how to "tell" her secret.
Therefore, me1inda and Luo Feng were able to follow the river and find so many "secrets" that belonged to her.
In fact, after technical identification, Luo Feng knew that there was only one of her secrets.
The paper boat, whose handwriting had been blurred but was relatively clear, was just one of the sentences when the secret of her heart was put into words.
Other paper boats naturally have similar secrets.
The words are different, but the secret is the same.
- She wanted to kill her own parents.
As a daughter, how much courage does she need to muster up, how much pain does she need to endure, and how much hatred and resentment does she have in her heart to give birth to such an incredible idea?
It's naturally her fault for having such thoughts.
But why did she make such a mistake?
Shouldn't the person who made her commit such a mistake be more blamed?
And who was the person who made her commit such a mistake?
It goes without saying that it was the object she wanted to kill, her parents.

"I didn't tell the little girl's grandmother, how did Brother Luo Feng investigate next?"
"He went to see the little girl's parents."
"Visit?"
"Yes. However, he has eaten closed door soup many times. ”
"Oh?"
"Although they knew that Luo Feng was investigating the drowning of their daughter, they avoided him many times."
"Why?"
"Who knows? A few times they had already arrived at their doorstep, but the two men came out of the house and ran away in their respective cars. ”
"It's unbelievable."
"yes, it's not like a normal person's behavior."
"The daughter drowned and the mother surrendered, but they hid from the police and did not see the police, this headless and brainless approach is really ridiculous, and it is even more incredible."
"Does Brother Luo Feng have any suspicions about them?"
"There must be."
"What are the suspicions?"
"Guess what."
"You're going to let me guess?"
"yes. Aren't you smart? I think you'll be able to guess it. ”
"Praise me again...... Come to think of it, there's a good chance that the parents are hiding something, right? ”
"You don't have to think about it, just keep guessing."
"Brother Luo Feng has never been to their house, right?
"Yes. Every time they rang their doorbell, they didn't receive him in their own home. ”
"Not at their house, where did Brother Luo Feng and them go?"
"On the side of the road, in the car, in the woods, in the park, in short, it won't be in their home."
"Is there any secret in their house?"
Luo Feng thought so too.
"With his temper, there's no way he's going to give up, I'm sure."
"He really couldn't just let them arrange a place to meet, and one day, when the father opened the door, he just broke through the barrier and broke into their house."
"It's a very rude move, but I agree with Brother Luo Feng's approach."
"The deeds of savage men are effective."
"What did Brother Luo Feng see in their home?"
"What should I say? I can't say for sure, so why don't you let you see it with your own eyes? ”
"Oh? You let me see it with my own eyes? ”
"I've been to their house too, and I've made what I've seen into a dream, and now I'm going to take you into it, right?"
"Sister is really thoughtful. Okay, now you can take me to see it. ”

Luo Feng took me1inda and went to their home.
Of course, they are reluctant to let others into their homes.
However, their arms couldn't reach their thighs, and after Luo Feng showed the search warrant, they had to let Luo Feng and me1inda into the house.
Their home, that is, Zhou Qian's home, is no different from ordinary people.
Three bedrooms and one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom.
In a house of about one hundred and ten square meters, all the decoration is neither extravagant nor inexpensive.
It is a middle-income family, and the people in the family are not rich, but they are not short of money.
Such a family should be said to be a happy family.
But the relationship between husband and wife in this family is very strained.
Their children also live in a dark environment because of the tension between the couple.
As soon as Su Che walked into this home, he saw a lot of things here that were different from ordinary people......
The living room looks neat, but there is little attention to the placement of everything in order to make it feel very organized.
In the kitchen on the left-hand side, there is no smoke and fire, pots and pans are piled together, and a thick layer of dirt and dust has accumulated.
Obviously, there is very little cooking at home, and most of their food is eaten outside.
The bathroom is relatively clean, and I think this couple is somewhat concerned about the hygiene of that place.
The three rooms were divided among three people, one for each of the family of three.
My father's bedroom was close to the living room, the quilt on the bed was messy, and there were cigarette butts all over the floor.
The mother's bedroom was connected to the father's, and the room was so clean that it looked like a VIP room, and everything was neatly stacked.
Zhou Qian's bedroom is separated from theirs by the hallway, close to the bathroom.
The room is relatively small, but after putting down a bed, she can also put a small bookshelf, and the space is not too small for her.
The layout inside is very simple, and all the things are placed to the best of a little girl's imagination.
Her bedroom is full of childlike fun, with toys that girls like and all kinds of clothes.
On her desk, there is also a notebook.
- Parents are willing to spend money for her, but they are not willing to share more of their love with her.
In addition to that notebook, there are also her textbooks.
There are also a few manga that girls love.
Su Che and me1inda walked into Zhou Qian's bedroom one after another.
He looked up and down, left and right, and didn't realize anything special in it.
Everything is almost at a glance, and it's obviously not too possible to think of what to hide here.
No wonder she would fold the secrets in her heart into a paper boat and let it flow away on the water under the Minghuang Bridge......

"There's nothing suspicious in this house, why are they trying their best not to let Brother Luo Feng come in?"
- They, of course, refer to Zhou Qian's parents.
"Who knows?"
"Don't you want Brother Luo Feng to see that their couple is separated?"
"Probably."
"Their relationship is so stiff, you don't have to think about it to know that they live separately, in that case, why should they hide it again?"
"It's hard to explain......"
"Hey, what the hell are they trying to hide?"
"What do you have in mind?"
"I ...... Can't think of it just yet. ”
"Then take a closer look at this home, perhaps, how you feel."
"Touch?"
"Does this feel like home?"
"Sister, I don't understand what you mean by asking......"
"If you look at it as a whole, what is this home like?"
Su Che walked out of Zhou Qian's room, stood in the living room, and looked around.
me1inda followed and sat down on the sand.
After a long while, Su Che said helplessly: "Sister, I'...... Can't tell. ”
"Then let me remind you, it looks like a home, but the three of them each live in a room, rarely eat together, the sand in the living room is rarely sitting, only the bathroom is relatively clean......"
"When you say that, it makes me think of a so-called home that may ,——, too much like a hotel."
"You guessed it right, that's what I'm going to make you think of."
"In the hotel, most of the rooms are occupied by people who don't have much to do with each other, you don't know me, I don't know you, open the door, we are guests, close the door, our room is our world,—— this home, does it look the same as the interpersonal relationship in the hotel?"
"That's true, but although they are making a lot of noise, they can't intentionally hurt their daughter, right?"
"What you're trying to say is that as parents, they have an obligation and responsibility to take care of their daughters, don't they?"
"Yes. Even if they quarrel fiercely and treat each other as hateful strangers, they can't have an innocent daughter involved, right? ”
"How could it not be involved? As long as they quarrel, Zhou Qian will be affected. ”
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Su Che's mind-
"Sister, I have an idea."
"What thoughts?"
"Standing in such a so-called home, think about it from the perspective of the victim Zhou Qian, how she should react after hearing her parents' quarrel."
"Empathy, touching how she felt at the time?"
"Yes."
"Shall you give it a try?"
"If I were Zhou Qian...... I was reading and studying in my room, and suddenly I heard the noise of my parents outside the door, and my heart was definitely not good, even if I was used to hearing their noise, I could not be immune to it, but could only continue to suffer from it. ”
"Well, the idea is close to reality."
"When I heard my parents' noise, I couldn't learn anymore, and although my eyes were fixed on the books, my mind was thinking about other things."
“……”
"They were arguing more and more, and the more I listened, the more upset I became."
“……”
"I really want to open the door, go out, and shout at them, but when I really want to do it, I don't have the courage to go out and think of myself as a peacemaker."
“……”
"Perhaps, after listening to the noise of my parents too much, I have already accumulated a deep resentment in my heart, and the resentment has turned into hatred, and my little heart is filled with more pain."
“……”
"Sitting at the desk, you can't just listen to your parents all the time, right? But what can you do if you don't listen? The environment is too bad to do anything else. ”
“……”
"I think of my grandmother, of her kind smile. I really want to go to my grandmother to make myself more pure and enjoy the beauty of being cared for. ”
“……”
"But I can't go to my grandmother. Now, I can only stay in this room, forced to listen to my parents' noise. ”
“……”
"At some point, I had an extra pen in my hand and my notepad spread out on my desk. I wrote a few lines on a notepad to record this war of words. ”
“……”
"After I wrote it, I unconsciously wrote a line that scared me: Mom and Dad, I want to kill you."
“……”
"When I wrote it, I certainly didn't want anyone to see it. So, he tore off the piece of paper and folded it into a paper boat. ”
“……”
"Adults can't care about paper boats folded by children, and I don't always leave them at home."
“……”
"One day, I went to see my grandmother, passed by the Minghuang Bridge, and then I took out the paper boat that I put in my school bag, put the paper boat on the flowing water, and let it carry the secret in my heart and go away with the water."
“……”
"No one could have imagined that there was any secret in my heart, except for me, and that paper boat."
“……”

Sucher didn't say any more.
And me1inda fell into deep thought.
I don't know how long it took for me1inda to say faintly: "The reason why Zhou Qian, a little girl, changed from resentment to hatred for her parents, I think, there may be other reasons. ”
Su Che asked puzzledly, "For other reasons?" What do you think it will be? ”
"I don't know, but I'm sure that the reason for a little girl to have a murderous heart for her parents can't be that simple."
“……”
"Perhaps, that's what the couple wants to hide."
“……”
"Mrs. Zou surrendered and admitted that she had harmed her granddaughter, which may also have something to do with this 'what'."
“……”
"And this 'what' is very likely to be in this house, right now in front of us, and we haven't noticed."
“……”
After me1inda said this, Su Che took a closer look at the home again.
me1inda also carefully observes everything in this house.
It's like there's nothing out of the ordinary.
However, there must be some "differences" in this family.
What is the "difference"?
Su Che suddenly thought-
"Sister, we can't just look at what's in this family, we should think about what is missing in this family."
"Do you see what's missing?"
"There are indeed a lot of things that are missing in this family, but there is one thing that is indispensable."
"What is it?"
"Photos."
As soon as Su Che said this, me1inda immediately understood.
Her eyes searched around.
Indeed, as Su Che said, there is a lack of photos in this home.
There is no photo of a certain person.
There was no group photo of a family of three.
There are no pictures of them on the walls, on the tables, anywhere the eye can see.
This is the residence of their family of three, but there is not a single photo to prove that this is their home, which is really incredible.
INTERVIEWER Why is there a lack of such an indispensable thing in this home?
Wonderful!
