Chapter 30: Xie Junya's Secret

Shuqing stayed in Longmen Town for another two days, and she never saw the director's wife since the day Li Zhen confronted the director's wife. On the day she decided to leave Longmen Town, the director's wife suddenly stood at her doorstep. Appearing restless and hurried, she tells Sook-cheong that the madwoman is dead, the night they went to visit her. She died of pain because she refused to be injected with medicine by doctors.

"She's got something for you!" said the director's wife, handing Shuqing a small iron box.

Shuqing took the box and set it aside. "Aren't you going to open it and take a look?" asked the director's wife, her eyes wide.

Shuqing shook her head and said, "It's all in the past, what can I do if I see it? I can't change anything, I don't want to worry about myself anymore." ”

"Are you leaving?" said the director's wife, glancing at the small bag at Shuqing's feet.

"Yes!"

"Where's Li Zhen?"

"She's with Jinpeng!" Shuqing said, frowning before adding, "I think they should be together again." In the past two days, Li Zhen has completely changed a person, completely different from what she saw before, she and Jinpeng went in and out together, traveled to Longmen Mountain together, and walked in the countryside together, as if nothing had happened, they were a very happy couple. Shuqing told Mrs. An about her situation, and it was clear that Mrs. An had reserved her opinion and hoped that she would return to Chongqing to meet her as soon as possible. Thinking of Mrs. An, Shuqing remembered the conflict between Li Zhen and the director's wife that day. "Are you hiding something from me?" she said, looking solemnly at the director's wife.

The director's wife squirmed uneasily, then nodded.

"Yes. She said. "What Li Zhen said is true, Lao Zhang used to be confused. He had misbehaved Li Zhen during her detention. ”

"Li Zhen is detained?" Shuqing asked, she didn't seem surprised by Lao Zhang's behavior. "Have you forgotten what he did when he was young?" replied Shuqing to meet the waffling eyes of the director's wife. She is indeed not surprised by Lao Zhang's misdeeds with Li Zhen, as the saying goes: "A dog can't change ****." "Lao Zhang was reported countless times for harassing female classmates when he was still Xiao Zhang. She used to be very worried about the director's wife, but the director's wife always said that she was very happy, and if she always reminded her that she didn't want others to be happy.

She quietly took a girl from the asylum and locked her in a wild house. Oh, by the way, it's the tiled house where you hid An Xiaowen. The director's wife said that it was obviously much easier to answer the first question than the second.

"Anna?"

"Oh. Yes, it's called Anna. is called this name, Zhou Zhiwen's adopted daughter. ”

Shuqing raised her eyes and glanced at the director's wife in confusion when she heard this, she didn't believe that the director's wife didn't know about An Xiaowen and Zhou Zhiwen, although they were very well hidden, but no matter what, it was also rumored in the town at that time. There are no secrets in this town.

"Oh. I'm not sure, but I'm guessing she's Zhou Zhiwen's daughter. I didn't meet Anna, though. The director's wife admitted. "She locked her up for about a week, maybe two weeks, I don't remember exactly, and then Chen Xianhui and Hu Sheng went to get Anna back, but—" The director's wife paused, and then said, "Because she has been missing for many days, the insane asylum told the police station!"

"The asylum called the police?" Shuqing asked, her voice raised in a high voice, completely unconvinced. As far as she knew, most of the people in the asylum were abandoned by their families, they were disliked by their family and friends because of their mental disabilities, and their family and friends hardly cared about them after being sent to the asylum. If he dies or disappears suddenly, his family will not come to pursue him. They all have a deep sense of gratitude to the mad families who took them in from the madhouse. Of course, the hospital will not bother itself and take the initiative to inform the patient's family that the patient is missing, let alone call the police.

The director's wife rubbed her hands a little crampedly, and said reluctantly: "On the day of her disappearance, a large number of medicines were lost in the hospital. ”

"An Fei?" asked Shuqing, she was very calm, and there was not the slightest warmth in her voice. Then she added: "What happened to you and Lao Zhang over the years?"

"We found Anna and arrested Li Zhen, but it didn't take long for us to release her—well! Lao Zhang did mistreat her in the past few days. ”

"You've said that before!"

"Well--I believe that Hu Sheng did not kill Zhou Zhiwen, but - Lao Zhang captured him and handed him over to the city. ”

"I know Hu Sheng didn't kill him. ”

"You-you-how-"

"Tell me about the missing medicines?" She looked at the director's wife with a determined gaze, and once again she felt that she was getting farther and farther away from this friend. She remembered what Chen Xianhui had said: 'They use medicine to control the sick and make them terminal, and no one cares about them, they are crazy, and no one cares!' She had to ask Chen Xianhui. But Chen Xianhui just shook his head. "Why is it more important for you to have medicine gone missing than people who have gone missing? Shuqing asked.

"I think it's because the drug is so harmful. We didn't find the batch of medicines, only a lot of empty pill bottles in that dilapidated tiled house. The director's wife said.

"Li Zhen injected Anna with those medicines!" Shuqing mused.

"I think so, but—" The director's wife stopped in the middle of speaking. Then she collapsed her originally erect shoulders and whispered in frustration: "If you want, maybe you will want to meet Hu Sheng." I don't know why you got involved in this series of events. But I know that An Xiaowen must have asked you to come. Before Li Zhen came to town, An Xiaowen called me, and she paid me a large sum of money to take care of her daughter. Oh, I'm sorry, Shuqing, I hid this from you. I don't want you to think that I'm such a woman who wants money, yes, I am such a woman, and all these years, my heart has been tormented like this, I have to let it go, I have to let it go. Hu Sheng didn't kill Zhou Zhiwen, no, the real murderer was Li Zhen, she smashed his head with a hammer. An Xiaowen gave me money and asked me to take care of her, I happened to visit her that day, you know that after she was released, I would always find an excuse to visit her, I was afraid that she would tell her mother what happened to her here, I was afraid that my money would be lost. I saw it that night, I was standing under a citrus tree outside the yard, and no one noticed me in the dark night. Zhou Zhiwen was so drunk, he knocked on the door of Hu Sheng and Li Zhen, Li Zhen opened the door, oh, Hu Sheng was not at home. As soon as Zhou Zhiwen saw Li Zhen, he asked her why she hurt her own sister and why she treated her sister so cruelly, and then he said that she was his biological father, and then he began to scold An Xiaowen, and at first Li Zhen was very quiet, just standing there and letting Zhou Zhiwen get drunk. Yes, he drank too much, he was always an alcoholic, drunk all day long. Then suddenly, out of nowhere, she took out a hammer and knocked it on Zhou Zhiwen's head. Oh - oh my God! I should have stopped it, I didn't, I ran away when she hit her first time. I ran away. The director's wife suddenly hid her face and cried. She looked helpless and sad, the pain of years of sin. They caught Hu Sheng, because Li Zhen ran away, and as soon as Hu Sheng came home, he saw Zhou Zhiwen lying in a pool of blood. They decided that Hu Sheng had killed Zhou Zhiwen. But he didn't, he didn't—oh. Shuqing, I sold my soul for money. I sent a good guy to jail! He's only in his 20s! So young! - what have I done!"

It turns out that Chen Xianhui is right, and her conviction is right. Shuqing said. She had forgotten to inquire about the whereabouts of the medicine. She initially found a lawyer for Hu Sheng, but then gave up. She must have known something. Hu Sheng thought that Li Zhen did it, and he took the charge for her. Shuqing muttered, "Love, love—everything is love!"
