Zhou Qian's death caused a small range of fluctuations in the Nanyuan community where she lived.

And when Mrs. Zou turned herself in and admitted that she was the murderer who caused her granddaughter to drown, the scope of her influence couldn't help but spread.

Almost all the people in all parts of S City know about this murder case.

Grandma killed her granddaughter, this kind of unethical thing, no matter how you look at it, it looks like explosive news.

Those who do not know angrily accuse the murderer of being insane, shameless, killing an innocent life, and depriving a new life of the right to live.

Most of those in the know expressed incredulous surprise and bewilderment.

Mrs. Zou's kindness to Zhou Qian is obvious to all, who would believe that she would kill her granddaughter?

After visiting and investigating, Luo Feng found that the neighbors of Mrs. Zou and Zhou Qian did not believe in this "strange thing".

"Who would kill someone they love? Will you? Mrs. Zou's mind is also clear and not confused, how could she do such a thing? ”

"I am Mrs. Zou's neighbor, many times I can see her taking her granddaughter to walk around the community square, the relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren is good, when I chat with Mrs. Zou alone, she often praises how good her granddaughter is, often comes to see her, unlike her unfilial son and daughter-in-law......"

"I'd rather believe that dogs don't eat anymore, and I don't believe that the kind-hearted Mrs. Zou will harm her granddaughter who loves so much...... Sorry, the words are a little rough. Once, when Mrs. Zou took her granddaughter out to play, her granddaughter broke her knee for some reason, but her granddaughter didn't cry, but she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and wiped her tears. How could such a grandmother harm her granddaughter? ”

"If you want me to say, there must be an article in this. If Zhou Qian's drowning was murder, I believe that her parents killed her, not her grandmother. I don't live close to Zhou Qian's family, but it's not far away, it's in the same building, one floor apart, my home is the lower floor, and theirs is the upper floor. But, despite being one floor apart, I can often understand the sound of the couple arguing. How can such a family not let their children be psychologically overshadowed? ”

……

The insider's evaluation is almost one-sided.

Luo Feng is even more convinced that Mrs. Zou cannot be a murderer.

And if you want to prove that she is not a murderer, what about the evidence?

Mrs. Zou surrendered, saying that her granddaughter's death was her own doing, and she could not find any evidence.

However, he locked her up, and he had no evidence of her murder at hand.

Without evidence, the case will naturally not be closed.

Not only is it impossible to close the case, but it can't continue to delay and let Mrs. Zou stay locked up.

- If something happens to Mrs. Zou in prison, then they, the servants of the people, will have an unforgivable sin.

- He must find out the truth of the case before the bad consequences can be predicted.

Melinda also seems to care about the case.

She took the initiative to help Luo Feng, tracing the beginning and end of the case, looking for details that can be seen or not.

She found a reliable clue -

In Zhou Qian's house, there is not a single photo that can prove that they are the owners of the house.

There are no life photos, no wedding photos, no travel photos, no commemorative photos,......

Some are just rooms where three people sleep separately.

Under the same roof, each seems to have deliberately distanced themselves.

That couple has an estrangement, that's inevitable.

Zhou Qian distanced herself from them...... No matter how you think about it, I think it was her own doing.

Perhaps, her parents didn't want to distance themselves from her.

But she has become tired of the "homework" that her parents repeat every day, and deliberately keeps her distance from them.

Melinda and Luo Feng already knew that the little girl had terrible thoughts in her heart.

Therefore, they believe that the reason why she is distant from her parents is that she deliberately pulled away.

Knowing this, Luo Feng was happy at first, but then frowned again.

Everyone knows that Zhou Qian, a little girl, is even closer to her grandmother, and has a general relationship with her parents, even if she knows that there are no photos of three people in her family, what is the use? It's nothing more than proof that everyone knows. ”

"Finding what you can see in the subtleties but you ignore is a must for a qualified police officer."

"What have we overlooked?"

“…… I don't know. This is what you, the policeman, have to think about, don't throw the problem at me. ”

"All I can think of are the clues you've found."

"Then you should look for the truth on the clues I provided."

"How to find it?"

"Follow the line that Zhou Qian and her parents have a very poor relationship."

"Does this have anything to do with whether Mrs. Zou is a murderer?"

"What do you think?"

"I think...... I don't think it can be without. ”

"Do you know and ask? Being a police officer is not about throwing problems on others, but about letting yourself find a way to solve them. ”

"Hey, got it."

"One more thing......"

"What's the matter?"

"Take me to see Mrs. Zou, I'm going to talk to her in my dreams."

"You want to take her to dreams?"

"There are some things that can't be said in reality, but in dreams, maybe they can be said."

"However, now Mrs. Zou has a very bad impression of you, and it is impossible for her to ......"

"You can figure it out, I know this little problem, you will definitely be able to solve it."

In a dream.

The scene of the dream is the Minghuang Bridge.

Mrs. Zou stood on the Minghuang Bridge, and Melinda walked towards her.

"Hello, we're meeting again."

Melinda said with a smile.

Mrs. Zou looked at her and frowned.

"How can I see you, still in ...... Over here? ”

She was puzzled.

"You don't have to know why you're not in jail, but here, and I'll tell you the answer."

"Then tell me."

"Before I tell you, please answer me a few questions."

“…… I don't want to see you. ”

"You still don't think I'm a good person, do you?"

"You're not a good person in the first place."

"Whatever you want, though, there are a few questions you must answer me."

"Why should I answer you?"

"I can clear your name."

"I don't need you to help me...... I deserve to kill my granddaughter. ”

"If you really killed you, you deserve it, but what if not?"

"You...... What do you mean by that? ”

"Think about it from the normal mind of a normal person, who would put the crime of homicide on themselves?"

“……”

"When a murderer kills, he either hides or continues to live his life and let himself disappear into a normal life, just imagine, who will really turn himself in, and when we all have no evidence?"

“……”

"The little girl drowned, and there is a high probability of suicide, and you took the initiative to stand up and say that you killed her. Suicide turned into murder, and, the reason you gave ...... It's so lame, think about it from your point of view, do you think you'll believe it? ”

"Whatever you want to say, just say it, you don't have to go around in such a big circle."

Melinda mentally gestured to herself with a gesture of success.

But her complexion was the same as usual, and it didn't change much.

- Mrs. Zou was very repulsive to her just now, but now she acquiesces to her existence and is willing to listen to her questions, which is indeed a success.

"The drowning of your granddaughter could have been characterized as suicide, why did you voluntarily turn yourself in, saying that you killed her?"

"Qianqian was originally killed by me, not suicide, I surrendered, is it wrong?"

"Yes, yes, but why would you do that?"

"My conscience is condemned, even if I can hide it from others, but I can't hide it from myself,—— this reason, is it okay?"

"Of course, this reason is reasonable, but why did you hurt your granddaughter?"

"Didn't I already tell that policeman surnamed Luo?"

"I want the truth."

"That's the truth."

"If that's true, do you believe it?"

“……”

"Everyone around you knows that you love your granddaughter very much, how could you hurt her because she was too noisy?"

“……”

"What's more, your granddaughter is a girl with a quiet nature and doesn't like noisy environments, how can she do something that doesn't match her character?"

“……”

"You can not answer my question for the time being, let me ask you one more thing, that night, here, on the Minghuang Bridge, apart from you and Zhou Qian, the little girl, is there anyone else?"

"Nope."

"Are you sure?"

"Who would come here in the middle of the night in a place where few people go?"

"It's true, no one can run to this kind of place in the middle of the night, right?"

"So, I pushed Qianqian into the river and let her drown, and I am the murderer."

"Since no one is here, no one knows about your murder except you and the little girl who died, does it?"

"yes, no one knows......"

"Do you dare to say that in front of your granddaughter?"

"You...... What do you mean? ”

Melinda didn't answer her.

She pointed behind her.

Mrs. Zou turned away.

I found that a little girl was standing not far from her.

- That little girl turned out to be the granddaughter she thought about day and night, Zhou Qian.

Mrs. Zou didn't feel scared, but she was very emotional, obviously crying......

"Grandma."

- It's the granddaughter's voice.

"Grandma."

- Baby granddaughter, called herself again.

Mrs. Zou excitedly agreed:

"Alas, Qianqian...... My granddaughter. ”

Zhou Qian walked towards her.

Walking up to her side, he naturally grabbed her hand and put his own hand in hers.

It feels real.

She had no doubt that it was a good dream.

She crouched down and took her granddaughter into her arms.

"Qianqian, grandma wants you to die."

"Grandma, I miss you too."

"Qianqian, I'm going to take you to my home, I won't let you go back to your home again."

"Okay, I'll go with my grandmother......"

"Well, you come with me, I won't let you get hurt anymore...... You're my good granddaughter, always have been. ”

Zhou Qian hugged her grandmother's neck and cried too.

Melinda stood by and watched the scene in silence.

- She only looks calm on the surface, but there are waves inside.

After a while, Melinda relented and said:

"Your granddaughter has already seen me, should you tell her what you really want now?"

"What do you say? I don't understand. ”

"Then I repeat, can you tell me the truth about who killed your granddaughter? What I want is the truth......"

Mrs. Zou hugged Zhou Qian in her arms and hugged her tightly.

"Qianqian is not dead, she is still alive. - She's still alive, she's in my arms. ”

"She's just in your dreams, she's dead,—— the truth is brutal, but it's true."

"No, she's still alive, what about me holding her? You're a bad person, you cursed my granddaughter to die......"

"In reality, you have restricted your personal freedom and are in prison, think about it, how did you get here? Your granddaughter is dead, how could she still be in front of you? ”

Mrs. Zou burst into tears.

"No, Qianqian is not dead, she is still alive."

"Don't deceive yourself anymore, in fact, you already know that your granddaughter is dead, and besides, you are still being victimized by others......"

"Yes, I was killed by someone else, that person else is me, and I am the murderer."

"Aren't you willing to tell the truth now? Now that your granddaughter is by your side, do you still dare to make up lies and say such self-deceptive things? ”

Zhou Qian suddenly struggled hard, trying to break free from her grandmother's embrace.

Mrs. Zou was taken aback and let go of her.

"Grandma, am I dead?"

“…… Yes. ”

"Who killed me?"

"It's me."

"You love me so much, how can you kill me?"

"I'm sorry, Qianqian, I didn't protect you, I killed you."

"No, I don't believe it."

"Qianqian, don't say it, I'm ...... I'm sorry for you. ”

"If you're guilty, you should tell the truth and tell this big sister."

"I ...... I can't say. ”

“……”

Zhou Qian took a few steps back.

"Since grandma won't tell me the truth, then there's no point in me being here, grandma, I'm leaving......"

"Where are you going?"

"Go where I need to go and continue to suffer."

As she spoke, Zhou Qian's figure suddenly disappeared.

Mrs. Zou watched all this in amazement, and cried even more sadly.

Melinda looked at Mrs. Zou's appearance, and she didn't feel good in her heart.

She didn't want to hurt Mrs. Zou's heart too much.

However, she brought Mrs. Zou into this dream, not to reunite their grandchildren, but to find a truth that Mrs. Zou refused to tell.

She had to be ruthless and do it.

"If you are willing to tell me the truth, I will let you see Zhou Qian's girl again."

“……”

"Please believe me, since I can let you come here, talk to me, and let your granddaughter appear in front of you, I can also let you come here again, or go elsewhere, and let you see your granddaughter again."

“……”

"I know you don't want to tell the truth, but if the world doesn't know the truth, wouldn't the death of your granddaughter be too unjust? And you will be accused of killing your own granddaughter, and you will leave in agony......"

“……”

"Please tell me, I know the truth is cruel, but you can make your granddaughter die, even if it is cruel, you have to say it, that is the truth after all."

“……”

Mrs. Zou kept crying and wanted to speak, but she couldn't speak.

Melinda didn't go any further.

She stopped, waiting for Mrs. Zou's mood to return to stability.

After a long while, Mrs. Zou finally opened her mouth-

"Qianqian is Wen's daughter, but she is not Zhen's, that is to say, Qianqian is actually not my biological granddaughter......"
