When I said that, my mother was silent on the other end of the phone, and I knew that my mother seemed to be getting nervous as I heard her increasingly cramped gasps. I didn't rush my mother, I was sure that there was definitely a place where my mother didn't tell me the truth about my father's death.

In the dilapidated ward, only Jiang Jun was awake, and he lay down on the bed again. Jiang Jun's eyes were still staring at Liu Jia, so attentive that he didn't seem to hear what I said into the phone. My body was scarred, my mind was exhausted, and my mood was complicated.

The silence lasted for several minutes, but the mother refused to speak. I took a deep breath and spoke in a trembling voice. I didn't know anything, but my heart was beating violently, and I felt so uneasy that a voice in my heart was telling me to stop talking.

However, I don't want to be deceived anymore. At this moment, I suddenly felt hopelessness, I felt that in this world, everyone except me has a problem, I am alone against a lie woven by everyone, I am not facing a person, nor an organization, but a world.

Xu Yi has a problem, Du Lei has a problem, Shen Nuo has a problem, and now, my mother and my father also have problems. The man in my mind, he was standing in memory and smiling at me, with a carving knife in his left hand and a puppet in his right hand that he had carved for me.

Li Yiran, it's been a long time since I've heard this name. After my father died, no one mentioned his name to me again, except when I came home, I would glance at the tablet where I was enshrined. I have always remembered his appearance, but I have almost forgotten his name.

"Don't lie to me anymore." I said to my mother.

After another moment of silence, my mother also spoke after my long wait, but she did not tell me the truth, she chose to play dumb.

"What are you talking about?" This is my mother's answer to me.

Mother's lies are not clever, and by the time I knew something, my mother was already nervous. When she spoke, it was intermittent.

"Tell me what happened to my father's death!" I gritted my teeth and asked in a deep voice. My mood was indeed complicated, anxious, anxious, angry, painful, all the sources of emotions converging and merging into an emotion that I could not find a noun or an adjective.

Sure enough, when I mentioned the word "father", a strange voice came from the other end of the phone. My mother seemed to be almost crying, and at this moment, she should have covered her mouth and nose with her hands, but despite this, I heard her soft choking. Even now, my mother is still not going to tell me.

"Sick and dead." My mother replied to me with these three words. Her mind could not escape my ears at all, she was already crying, and she wanted to cover up the choking in her tone with as simple language as possible.

"Tell me, what is the disease, why is he sick, after he died, why was the body cremated in such a hurry, and what happened when he went crazy before he died!" I said a lot of things in one breath, and I couldn't control my emotions anymore. Jiang Jun was also alarmed by me, he turned around and used his eyes to signal what was wrong with me.

My bed was so close to the door of the ward that I tumbled out of bed, grabbed my phone, and stumbled out of the room. This is the only ward in the clinic, and there are a few stools outside for loved ones to wait, and I tried my best to close the door of the ward and sit on the stools.

A simple action, but it left me out of breath and almost out of breath. Outside the ward, it was pitch black, this was the second floor of the clinic, and those criminal police told us before that the police had sent someone to protect us on the first floor, and those criminal police should be on the first floor at the moment.

As soon as I sat down, my mother answered my questions. The mother said that she did not know what illness her father had, but that the illness began quickly and died within one night. The neighbors said that the father was crazy before he died, and it was also because of the unknown strange disease, and the mother was afraid that the body would have an infectious disease, so she was cremated in a hurry.

What my mother said was exactly what she told me years ago, but at the moment, I don't believe it anymore. A few years ago, my father's death almost dragged me into a bottomless abyss, and I managed to come out of that haze. However, no matter how much time has passed, as long as I think of my father, my heart hurts like a knife.

When my father died, I was so heartbroken that I cried all day long. I didn't want to believe the fact that my father was dead, and I naturally didn't want to ask him how he died. Those words were told to me by my mother later, and I felt uncomfortable and didn't dig into them.

I also heard about my father's madness in the gossip of the neighborhood. After that, my mother and I moved out of that sad place. After arriving in City B, except for my mother, who would stand in front of my father's tablet for a while every day, we would hardly mention my father.

The name Li Yiran seems to be deliberately hidden, and my mother and I invariably don't mention it. I thought that my mother and I didn't want to be sad and didn't want the other party to be sad, so we were like the other party, so we didn't mention it or never took the initiative to mention it.

But now that I think about it, my mother's intentions are more than that.

"How long are you going to lie to me! My father, Li Yiran, how did he die, why did he die! I gritted my teeth, and the anger in my heart took over the emotion. My mother's reaction was already telling me that she was indeed lying. At this moment, I can't wait to rush to my mother's front and ask her face to face.

"Don't ask again." Mother finally couldn't help it, and she started crying on the other end of the phone.

I laughed angrily: "Don't ask? Are you really ready to hide it for the rest of your life? There is no paper that can hold the fire, I am your son, you are my mother, Li Yiran is my father, what are you that you can't say to me? Why do you all choose to hide it from me! ”

My mother couldn't stop crying, and vaguely, I could discern a few words from her mouth: Knowing too much is not good for us.

My heart was completely cold, and my mother's words seemed to be talking to me about a deal. I smiled wryly and said into the phone receiver: "Then how can it be good for you to continue to hide from me?" Keep me in the dark? Or does it make me feel hopeless about the feelings of this world? ”

Du Lei, Xu Yi, mother, the appearance of the three of them all came to my mind, friendship betrayed me, love abandoned me, family deceived me, I don't know who else I can trust. While I longed for my mother to tell me the truth, I was afraid that if my mother said it, I would really feel hopeless for her.

When I came out, I took out my father's dagger as well. Holding it in my right hand, the curvature of the handle of the carving knife made me a little uncomfortable, and this carving knife was indeed only used by left-handers like my father. I suddenly remembered that those criminal suspects who had something to do with the Lady in Red case always had strange eyes when they saw me, as if they had known me for a long time.

Even what they said was like acquaintances who had met me a long time ago.

The appearance of the father's knife in the coffin of Kuta village is also clear: the father may also have a connection to the case of the woman in red.

"It's gone, he's gone, let him go quietly, he won't come back. You bring Xu Yi back, get married, have children, and live in peace, this is his greatest expectation. Mother cried.

I immediately retorted, "No, my father wants me to ride the waves, not live in peace!" ”

Going to the police academy is what my father means. How many times has my father warned me that I must become an elite in the police circle, redress injustice, and fight for justice. My father would not have been unaware of how difficult it would be to embark on this path, and since that was the case, he should have guessed how many bumps and setbacks I would have to go through.

I had expected all of this, but I didn't expect that one day I would need to cross a hurdle created by my father and break a web woven by my father.

Hearing my words, my mother stopped talking again.

I'm waiting for her to tell the truth.
