Chapter 24: The Shadow's Revenge

"The evidence is in your diary," Ran Sinian pointed to the old diary on the table, "You wrote a whole diary, and the content recorded in it has not once Bai Lin and Huang Yong appeared at the same time, as long as Bai Lin is by your side, you can't see Huang Yong, as long as Huang Yong is by your side, you can't find Bai Lin." So when Huang Yong fought with the gangsters, Bai Lin didn't show up for a few days, saying that he was afraid of the gangsters coming to seek revenge, but it was actually just a self-discrediting lie. He couldn't show up because if there were two people in a circus with their faces painted on their faces at the same time, and they were still in the same position, it would definitely arouse suspicion. In other words, Bai Lin dragged his son to grow up in order to earn a salary for two, and he must not hesitate to sacrifice his image as a good father, even if your son will despise him. ”

Qu Zichong sighed and said: "I see, so when Bai Lin wants to enjoy the dignity of a father and the love of a son, he can only take the identity of another person, that is, Huang Yong's identity." Bai Lin plays two roles like this, and is despised and appreciated by his son, which can be regarded as a burden of humiliation. ”

Bai Yifeng had fallen into far-reaching memories at this time, he didn't remember that his diary recorded that as long as his father was there, Uncle Huang would not be there, and as long as Uncle Huang was there, his father would be nowhere to be found. But after being reminded by Ran Sinian, he returned to those fragments of memory and found that it was indeed the case! Moreover, there is a reasonable explanation why my father insisted on buying the dilapidated tube building and moving out of the circus, because only by moving out can one person play two roles without being discovered.

"No wonder, no wonder, the aunts in the circus will say that I am Huang Yong's son, that I am similar to his charm, and that's because, because of ......," Bai Yifeng said, tears already bursting out of his eyes.

"Because Bai Lin's disguise technique has not yet reached the point where he can completely change his charm, those aunts who are more idle on weekdays have already seen some clues. However, Bai Lin's disguise is definitely successful, they would rather suspect that you are Huang Yong's son, and they do not suspect that Huang Yong, the beast tamer, and Bai Lin, the clown, are actually a person. When Ran Sinian mentioned Bai Lin, he did not hide his admiration.

Qu Zichong took the lead in breaking away from the story of Bai Lin, the tragic great father, and asked Ran Sinian, "Si Nian, since Huang Yong is Bai Lin, and Bai Lin has indeed died of illness half a year ago, then he is definitely not the murderer of the Changqing case!" Moreover, it is even more unlikely that Bai Lin was the murderer of the serial case ten years ago, because the file of that year showed that in three of the five murders, Bai Lin had a perfect alibi, and a large number of people in the circus could testify for him. ”

Fan Xiao asked eagerly: "Since the murderer is not Bai Lin, and Huang Yong is a non-existent figure, who is the murderer?" Mr. Ran, in the dream you just described, in addition to Bai Lin and Huang Yong, there is only Bai Yifeng, is it possible that the murderer is still Bai Yifeng? ”

"Who said that in the dream I just told about, apart from Bai Lin and Huang Yong, only Bai Yifeng remained?" Ran Sinian raised his eyebrows and looked at Fan Xiao, and then looked around at the others in the conference room, hoping that someone would be the first to perceive the mystery in the dream.

Liang Yuan lowered her head and muttered: "By the way, there is also the Aunt Zhao who served the dinner in the circus, and there is also a classmate who framed Bai Yifeng for stealing the school uniform, as well as the classmate who greeted Bai Yifeng at the beginning and the two circus aunts who talked about Bai Yifeng." These are the only people, right? ”

Ran Sinian bowed his head approvingly, "That's right, the key is among these people, to be precise, the key is in that Aunt Zhao and the classmate who was stolen from the school uniform." ”

Although Qu Zichong was used to Ran Sinian's habit of liking to sell guanzi, he was still dissatisfied, and he urged Ran Sinian, "Si Nian, quickly reveal the answer, after all, it is your dream, you know best what it wants to tell you." ”

Ran Si coughed young, and at Qu Zichong's request, he directly gave an answer, "Ten years ago, it was not only Bai Lin who did things in terms of identity, but also Bai Yifeng!" ”

"You're saying I'm playing tricks on my identity?" Bai Yifeng had just accepted the fact that his father was playing two roles, and as soon as he digested it, Ran Sinian threw out another bomb, which made him unable to accept it, "I am Bai Yifeng, what can I do?" ”

Ran Sinian said unhurriedly: "Bai Lin is one person who plays two roles, in order to earn an extra salary, why should he earn an extra salary?" That's because he doesn't just have a son to support. Bai Lin's wife lost to him two sons and twins. But Bai Lin had to hide one of his sons and send him elsewhere to find someone to take care of him, telling the circus leader that he only had one oil bottle. Because Bai Lin knew that the head of the regiment would not agree to take in the two little mouths. ”

Bai Yifeng seemed to have reacted, opening his mouth wide and not making a sound. The biggest mystery of his life was about to be solved, but he didn't have the courage to ask it.

In order to support his two sons, Bai Lin had to play two roles to earn two salaries, and at the same time, he also asked the son who was fostered outside to play Bai Yifeng, and before Bai Yifeng got out of school at noon, he went to the circus cafeteria for lunch. Of course, this twin brother knew that there was a Bai Yifeng, and knew that he was just a shadow of Bai Yifeng, and he had to leave the cafeteria before Bai Yifeng appeared. I think that the person who took in and hid the twin brothers was also a poor person, otherwise Bai Lin would not have taken such pains for a lunch every day," Ran Sinian felt sorry for the fate of Bai Yifeng's father and son, "In short, there are three people in Bai Yifeng's story, but it is not Bai Lin, Huang Yong and himself, but his father, brother and himself. ”

Fan Xiao patted his head hard, and said in hindsight: "No wonder, no wonder when Aunt Zhao, who was serving the meal, wanted to say something, Bai Lin interrupted her in time, saying that the child has strong self-esteem, but in fact, he didn't want Bai Yifeng to be suspicious." What Aunt Zhao wanted to say at that time was probably to sigh that Bai Yifeng had a huge amount of food and was too expensive to eat. Aunt Zhao also said that Bai Yifeng always skips class, but in fact, what she saw was not Bai Yifeng at all, but the twin brothers! So no matter how many times Aunt Zhao sued Bai Lin, Bai Lin would not punish Bai Yifeng, because he knew that Bai Yifeng had not skipped class at all. ”

"That's right, the one who stole his classmate's new school uniform was also the same brother who had been hiding in the shadows. Because if there were no new school uniforms, he would no longer be able to play Bai Yifeng, but Bai Lin couldn't get the money for two new school uniforms, so this shadow brother could only steal it. I think the reason why that classmate insisted that Bai Yifeng stole the school uniform was because he saw the sneaky Bai Yifeng's shadow coveting his school uniform. Ran Sinian concluded.

Bai Yifeng's face was already full of tears, and he muttered to himself: "I have a twin brother? I have a twin brother? How so? ”

Deng Lei looked at Bai Yifeng sympathetically, and asked Ran Sinian again: "I still don't understand, since Bai Lin is forced by life, one person plays two roles, earns two salaries, and lets his two sons play one role, then why doesn't he tell Bai Yifeng the truth?" I mean, since he told all this to his other son, why can't he tell Bai Yifeng that wouldn't it be more perfect to have his two sons work together? ”

Ran Sinian threw an approving smile at Deng Lei, "Xiao Deng, that's a good question, your question happens to be the murderer's motive for killing." ”

"Huh?" Deng Lei's mind was full of question marks, and he didn't understand what this question had to do with the motive for killing.

Qu Zichong couldn't help but sigh, as the eldest man in the conference room, he was the first to realize Bai Lin's hard work, "I think Bai Lin can't bear to let both sons play the role of deceivers, from the perspective of a father, it is enough for one of the children to play the shadow of the shadow, it is enough for one child to hide in the shadows and bear the burden of life on his back, at least let the other child stand in the sun and have a normal childhood and youth like other children." Bai Lin didn't know that such a random choice he made among the two swaddling babies would lead to a bloody case more than ten years and twenty years later. ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, and several young people in the conference room, including Bai Yifeng, immediately had an epiphany, it turned out that this was the so-called motive for killing, the revenge of a shadow that had been curled up in the shadows for more than 20 years!

Fan Xiao clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said: "I can understand, if I am that shadow, I will also hate, why do I want to hide in the shadows and play a shadow, why is he a teenager who grows up healthily under the sun?" ”

Liang Yuan said sourly: "I think this is a tragedy caused by poverty and persecution, and the root cause of everything is poverty." If Bai Lin was a rich man at the beginning, his wife would not have left the children and left, and he would not have been guilty of playing two roles by himself, and letting the two sons play one role together. There will be no people who mock and bully this poor clown, and there will be no thugs who threaten and intimidate for demolition, so there will be no homicides. ”

Qu Zichong glared at Liang Yuan, "What are you talking about?" As a police officer, you blame poverty for the source of your evil? Is poverty a pretext for sin? ”

Liang Yuan stuck out her tongue and defended in a low voice, "I didn't mean that. ”

Qu Zichong turned to Ran Sinian and asked: "Si Nian, I still don't know the motive for the murder you said, if you think that the murderers ten years ago and now are Bai Yifeng's twin brothers, who do you say his revenge is to take revenge?" Are those who bullied Bai Lin and Bai Yifeng ten years ago? Or is it Bai Yifeng, who robbed him of his one meter of sunshine? ”

"Yes," Ran Sinian explained, "I can understand the thoughts of the shadow brother, as a shadow who was left in the shadows by his father, witnessed the bullying of his father and brother, and he wanted to avenge his relatives as a shadow, and at the same time prove to his father that he is the one who has the courage and responsibility, who is worthy of returning to his father, and who is worthy of having complete fatherly love." That's why ten years ago, he brutally killed those who had bullied his father in the image of a clown. I think Bai Lin is aware of this. And today, ten years later, the reason why he killed Changqing again was because he wanted to take revenge on Bai Yifeng. He hated Bai Yifeng for more than 20 years, and the reason why he chose revenge until now is because there are two opportunities at this time, one is that his father Bai Lin died, and he can kill his own brother without any scruples, without worrying about not being able to face his biological father and explain to his biological father, and the second is that Chang Qing wants to make a movie based on the case ten years ago at this time, and more importantly, Chang Qing believes that Bai Yifeng is the murderer of the year. The shadow brother's plan is to kill Chang Qing and blame Bai Yifeng for the crime. ”
