Qiao Wei asked the middle-aged woman some questions about Zhang Lu and the goddess.

The middle-aged woman told us that although people who come here will talk about their painful experiences and introduce themselves briefly, no one usually uses their real names, after all, no one wants to spread the word that they have been sexually assaulted. When Zhang Lu came here, he said that his name was Janet Chen, and apparently it was just a fake name.

The girl who took the photo with Zhang Lu was named Rita (Rita), and she was Zhang Lu's mutual support partner.

Everyone who participates in the mutual aid association has their own mutual aid partner, and the partners will confide in each other, and remind each other not to lose their current life because of past experiences, Zhang Lu and Rita are such a mutual aid relationship.

According to the middle-aged woman, Zhang Lu was very pessimistic when she first came to the mutual aid association, she felt that she had no meaning to live, and it was Rita's optimism that changed Zhang Lu little by little, and led Zhang Lu out of the shadows to start life again.

To this day, Zhang Lu still comes to the mutual aid club every other day, she shares her journey out of the shadows, and also helps women who have the same experience to get through the most difficult days. As for Rita's middle-aged woman, I don't know much, as far as she knows, Rita is French, she returned to China about ten years ago, and the photo we showed her should have been taken before Rita returned to China.

I asked the middle-aged woman if she knew Rita's attitude towards religion.

The middle-aged woman immediately nodded her head and gestured to the church next to her, "The two of them go to that church every time they attend a mutual aid meeting, and Rita says it's her safe haven." ”

That's basically all there is to ask, and I don't think any amount of this middle-aged woman knows, she doesn't even know that Rita is dead, not home.

Qiao Wei and I thanked the middle-aged woman, and then prepared to leave, and suddenly an idea popped up in my head, so I immediately went back and asked the middle-aged woman Zhang Lu what kind of state she was every time she came, including dress, speaking style, and personality.

The middle-aged woman didn't need to think about it at all, and replied directly: "She is dressed very plainly, but her personality is like two people compared to ten years ago, she is very cheerful and willing to communicate with people." ”

Hearing the middle-aged woman's answer, Qiao Wei and I immediately exchanged glances.

The answer seems to be obvious, Zhang Lu did not come out of the shadows, but completely threw away the desperate, painful, and helpless self. The one who often comes to the mutual aid association is an optimistic and cheerful Zhang Lu who has lost his sadness; is usually the conservative and introverted Zhang Lu before he was sexually assaulted; In addition to these two personalities, there should be two Zhang Lu, one is completely sad and desperate, the other is full of revenge, and the latter is the one who wrote the anonymous letter!

After thanking and saying goodbye to the middle-aged woman in the mutual aid association again, I also told Qiao Wei my thoughts.

Qiao Wei fully agreed with my speculation, and the place we were going to check next was directly changed to the church next door to the Mutual Aid Society.

I don't know if there is any special event today, since just now the church has been full of people in and out, and when Qiao Wei and I really turned our attention here, we found that the people who came in and out of the church seemed to be some rogue people, and the people who came out were holding bread and some other hot food in their hands.

"Your church still gives alms to Liuhan to eat?"

Qiao Wei shook his head, "I don't know, I rarely go back to the UK, and I rarely come here at night." ”

Qiao Wei doesn't really care about whether he knows this place or not, we are here to find people, not to delay the church to do good deeds.

There is a thick curtain at the entrance of the church, and when you open the curtain, you can even see the heating gushing out of the church.

Although it is not cold in the UK this month, it is only relatively cold or not. For people like Qiao Wei and me, who are dressed in leather clothes, the weather outside should be just right, but for those untidy wanderers, staying warm indoors is definitely much better than outside.

In the hall of the church there are several tables, and two nuns are distributing food from the tables to the wanderers who have entered the church. When Qiao Wei and I walked up to them, they looked at us in surprise, obviously Qiao Wei and I were dressed very differently from the Liuhan.

Qiao Wei nodded and smiled at the two nuns, then took out a photo of Zhang Lu and said, "Hello, I am here to inquire about people, may I ask if you two know the girl on the right of the photo, her name seems to be Rita, and it is said that she is French." ”

The two nuns glanced at each other, then shook their heads at Qiao Wei together.

Then one of the nuns said, "You can ask Father Doug, he has always lived here, maybe he can know." ”

Qiao Wei hurriedly thanked the nuns, and then we bypassed the table in the hall and turned to the inside of the church.

There is a wooden door to the left of the statue of Jesus in the chapel, and it is the only way that leads to the back of the church. Qiao Wei walked over and knocked lightly on the door twice, and then asked through the door, "Is Father Wenge here?" ”

After waiting for a while, the door finally opened, and a man with gray hair stepped out of it.

He was taller than Qiao Wei, burly, and had a thick beard. However, it is strange to say that these elements that should belong to the "fierce" gathered in this priest have completely lost their original effect, perhaps because of his slight squinting and the corners of his mouth that are always smiling, making him look very friendly and at the same time give people a sense of security.

"I'm Doug, what's the matter?"

"That's right......," Qiao Wei said, handing the picture to Father Doug, "Let's ask about this person, the girl on the right side of the picture here is dressed very charmingly, she seems to be called Rita." ”

Father Doug's gaze only stayed on the photo for less than a second, his smile disappeared in an instant, and his face changed to a sad look, it was obvious that he recognized the person in the photograph and seemed to know that she was no longer alive!

Qiao Wei also noticed this, so he immediately asked, "Do you recognize her?" ”

Father Doug nodded, "Of course I recognize, she is an unfortunate child, I helped her more than ten years ago, but unfortunately ......"

Father Doug did not continue his words, but sighed sadly.

"It's a pity you didn't really help her, Zuihou she's still dead."

Qiao Wei suddenly took over a sentence that made Father Doug completely stunned, and he stared at Qiao Wei for a long time before he stammered and asked, "You...... How do you know? ”

"It will take some time to explain."

"I have time, come, sit down inside." With that, Father Doug opened the door completely and let Qiao Wei and I into the inner room of the church.
