Before dawn the next day, Shuqing took the morning train to Erlang and left, she didn't know what she would gain from this trip, Chen Xianhui made it clear on the phone that she didn't want to talk about anything about her son and daughter-in-law. But Shuqing wasn't going to give up! her instinct told her that she had to meet this woman.

When Shuqing arrived at her destination, the sky was just dawning. It's been a long time since she's been on the country road by bus so early, and even though the scenery on the road is only her own vague shadow on the dark windows, she finds it interesting and not tired. So as soon as she got out of the car, she took the address in her hand and searched for it.

It was a very simple and old building, Shuqing stood downstairs and looked up, she looked at this building a little distracted, she rarely looked at a house and lost her mind, looking at such a dilapidated house always had some feelings, especially at this time, she couldn't imagine how a mother could watch her son be sent to prison. And I can only live in this kind of place, there is no way.

She touched her bag, which contained the things that Mrs. An had given her when she left Chongqing, and she didn't know why Mrs. An had dragged her to do it. She tells her that only she can make her trust. And that Jinpeng, she has never trusted. She's just taking a fancy to my money. Mrs. Ann said. You know that Xin'er has been sullen since he came back from Longmen, this Jinpeng has found all kinds of excuses to come to the house, looking for Xin'er, and it is true that he has made Xin'er happy, but love, hum, I don't believe it. ’。 Although Shuqing did not approve of Mrs. An's letting her daughter marry someone who didn't love her at all, she believed that Mrs. An's reasons were good enough, but this reason seemed to be far more than the documents in the bag could explain. But now, what can she do? The only person who knows the truth is dead, and I hope she didn't come too late, and I hope Hu Sheng's mother can tell her everything, tell her what really happened.

Shuqing climbed up to the third floor with heavy steps, she looked at a somewhat rusted iron door, checked the address in her hand again, and then raised her hand and knocked three times.

A gray-haired old woman gently cracked the door, revealing half of her head and looking at Shuqing suspiciously, and then she understood, she removed the iron chain bolted to the door, opened the door and let Shuqing enter the room. Shuqing looked around, there was nothing, a simple bed, a wooden cabinet for stools, a wardrobe without a door, and a pile of empty Coke bottles, mineral water bottles and other bottles piled up in the corner. The adjective Shuqing can think of can only be destitute. She raised her eyes and looked at the hostess who opened the door for her, with white hair, a slightly curved back, and a deep wrinkle on her face, the wrinkles were gray, maybe there was dust in them, Shuqing thought. But her eyes were blazing.

"You were punctual. She said.

"Thank God, I can't keep you waiting. ”

"Tell me, what's the matter? But I don't have anything to tell you. I made it very clear on the phone. ”

"I know you've been working hard to clear Hu Sheng's name. ”

"Don't say that, he's not guilty at all. ”

"Why didn't he defend himself, believe me, I think Hu Sheng wouldn't kill like you, but he didn't defend himself in court. ”

"You are a retired old woman from the Public Security Bureau. She said.

"Oh, yes!" replied Shuqing, a little surprised by the answer she had asked.

She stared at Shuqing thoughtfully, as if judging whether she was someone she could trust. Shuqing was a little uncomfortable by her, and when she was about to speak, she rushed ahead: "That woman controlled him, it was that woman, the woman he brought back from the city." The first time I saw her, I thought there was something wrong with her, but unfortunately Hu Sheng didn't listen to me at all. ”

"You-mean Li Zhen?"

"Oh. That woman is sick, she has a problem here?" Chen Xianhui did not answer Shuqing's question, she pointed to her head.

"I don't understand what you mean?" Shuqing said.

"Haha-of course you don't understand, of course you don't understand!" Chen Xianhui suddenly laughed.

"Can you tell me about Anna? Shuqing subconsciously touched the bag. Change the subject. Of course, she knew who Chen Xianhui was talking about.

"Oh, Anna, that poor girl. ”

"I've heard that she committed suicide. ”

"Suicide, who told you?" Chen Xianhui looked at Shuqing vigilantly and said sharply.

"Security guards in an insane asylum. ”

"Wrong, not at all. She's not going to kill herself, she's a little crazy, but she's not really crazy, and I can't tell you what's going on. Zhou Zhiwen's wife just found an excuse to send her in. She knew that the girl was born to Zhou Zhiwen and other women, and she knew everything. That's a terrible woman. Zhou Zhiwen's wife beats her every day, she has a mental illness and even a little distorted, but she is not crazy enough to commit suicide, she has never committed suicide. ”

"That's interesting! And how did she die?"

"The day after Zhou Zhiwen died, I went to find Anna, I tried to tell her the news, what I wanted to say was that Zhou Zhiwen took the family out of here, they might have to go to Chongqing, Zhou Zhiwen found a job, said that he was keeping vigil for a hospital or something, and he might not come to visit her in the future, I can only make up such a story, but before I could speak, Anna said first, she said: 'Guess, what, Hu Sheng killed my father, was he arrested?' I said: 'What nonsense are you talking about, Hu Sheng will not kill anyone, let alone kill your father.' She said, 'Don't you try to lie to me, you ****, shriveled old woman.' You deserve to go to hell. You and Hu Sheng should both go to hell, and I will let you all go to hell. I've never seen a Anna like that. I was terrified when she lost her mind, but almost at the same time, I received a phone call from the police station, and they told me that Hu Sheng had been arrested for premeditated murder. And the target of the murder was Zhou Zhiwen. By the time I hung up the phone and ran to find Anna, she had already severed her artery. ”

"But you said she didn't commit suicide!" Shuqing was confused by Chen Xianhui.

"Oh, oh, oh, no, no, she was by no means suicidal. She's being controlled, she's being controlled. Do you see what I mean?"

"No, I don't understand!" said Shuqing, who thought it was incredible. even thinks that Chen Xianhui has some problems in his brain.

"I knew you wouldn't understand, I worked in an insane asylum for many years, and I saw a lot of crazy people, some were really crazy, some were split personalities, some weren't sick, just stimulated but not really crazy, like Anna. Because people who live in small towns like ours can't afford this disease, they will be ridiculed, looked down upon, lose eggs, and even affect the family. If someone gets sick, the family has to be sent to an insane asylum. The asylum had only simple equipment and a few barefoot doctors who were not very good at healing, some of whom had not even attended medical school, and the only thing they could do was to inject them with all kinds of medicines, the most common of which was a medicine called amphi. Every time they give them this medicine, they become quiet. Later, I heard that it was a sedative medicine, but its greater effect was to confuse people's consciousness. In this way, day by day, those who are not sick are terminally ill. ”

"But—what do you mean?" Shuqing looked at Chen Xianhui in surprise, she really didn't expect her to know so much.

"Yes, that's what it means. ”

"But there is a limit to the amount of this medicine!Ahh......hh "Doctor overdose?"

"I don't know, but I do know that if the more drugs are used, the higher their income will be. Pharmaceutical companies will give them commissions, very high commissions. ”

"But if you exceed the amount, it will be dangerous, isn't there any government regulation?"

"Government, when is the government reliable. The government will not take this kind of small place to heart, and we are all foolish people in small places. If something goes wrong, the pharmaceutical companies will come forward to solve it, and they have a whole network of relationships. Don't you understand? It's a chain of interests, and they're interlocking and taking advantage of each other. ”

"Do you know what this drug company is called?"

"Qihui, Qihui Pharmaceutical. ”

"Haven't heard of it. So Anna cut her wrists because she was overdosed with Ampheta. ”

"Maybe. Chen Xianhui hesitated again. "I'm talking too much, I think you should go. ”

"May I ask one more question?" Shuqing stood up, a little embarrassed.

"Why would you object to Hu Sheng marrying Li Zhen. ”

"I think you see why. ”

"What do you mean?"

The woman got him into the room. ”

"But it doesn't make sense, how do you know she's going to let her into the class. ”

"Her face, the first time I saw her, I knew she was a red face. ”

"Hu Sheng beat Li Zhen, and he used violence against Li Zhen. ”

"Do you believe it? Oh, of course you do, you're An Xiaowen's friend. I almost forgot, but let me tell you that Hu Sheng never hits women. ”

"This has nothing to do with An Xiaowen. Sister Chen, to tell you the truth, I met your son, Hu Sheng, many years ago, when he was a little boy, and he told me that he was going to marry Anna as his wife—" Shuqing observed Chen Xianhui as she spoke. But there was no expression on the other party's face.

"That's a child who is not sensible, talking and playing. Chen Xianhui said calmly with a calm face.

However, Li Zhen looks exactly like Anna. Shuqing questioned.

"Yes, I think Li Zhen is also Zhou Zhiwen's daughter, and they are twins. Is that right?" Chen Xianhui said, looking at Shuqing calmly.

Shuqing shook violently in fright, this was something she didn't expect, although she suspected it, because the two did look exactly the same, but Anna should not appear at the same time as Li Zhen in the madhouse, of course, Chen Xianhui couldn't see his daughter-in-law, Hu Sheng should show his mother as soon as possible...... Many situations are unpredictable, and most people can only let fate lead them. But she still didn't expect Chen Xianhui to be so sure, as if she knew all the truth, she thought this was the reason why she strongly opposed Hu Sheng's marriage to Li Zhen.

"Don't be so surprised, do you remember the old woman who delivered An Xiaowen? You gave her some money to shut up. Chen Xianhui said. "That old woman was my grandmother, and she told me about it when she died, and she said she couldn't go into the coffin with this secret. ”

"That's why you're against their marriage. Shuqing said.

"You could say that. ”

"Do you think Li Zhen is also ......?"

"No, no, it's not because of this, I didn't think so at first, everything she behaved was normal, but since she found out about Anna, it started to be wrong, it was as if Anna had triggered a switch in her body, and before that part of her was turned off, but Anna turned on the part that she was hiding. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Li Zhen is a typical person with a split personality. Chen Xianhui looked at Shuqing firmly. "Outsiders can't see it unless there's a technical check to prove it. Lee Jin definitely suffers from schizophrenia. She has a dual personality, I am just a nurse, I have no medical knowledge, and I don't understand psychoanalysis, but there must be two characteristics in her. One, a well-intentioned, lovely girl, whose main attraction is the desire for happiness. But she has a second personality, and she may be driven by a twisted psyche -- and some things we are not sure about -- that she will hurt people, not enemies, but those she loves, even herself. So she hurts the people she loves by hurting herself, and everything is something she imagines. She didn't know why she was doing it, or what that meant. There are so many terrible things in this world, mental eccentricities, psychosis, brain deformities. There is a tragic example of this in our madhouse. There is an old woman and her wife who live on a pension, and before she is sent to a madhouse, she and her wife live in a nursing home, and they seem to be a very happy couple. Then one day the old woman ran to the police station and said, "I killed Zhang Feng, it's terrible." I saw the devil in his eyes and I knew I was going to kill him. She was later sent to an insane asylum. This kind of thing can sometimes make a person lose motivation in life, and people will ask why? How can this happen? But one day science will explain why. Doctors will find a small deformation in the chromosomes or genes, or find that certain glands have stopped working because they are overworked or sad.

Shuqing unnaturally pinched the document in her bag, and when she left, Mrs. An gave her - Li Zhen's case, it seemed that there was no need to take it out, this rural woman had insight into everything.

"So you think all the domestic violence that Li Zhen said is not the truth. Shuqing said.

"I can only tell you that I understand my son and that he will not hurt women. Not to mention his wife. ”

"So Zhou Zhiwen was ......," Shuqing tried to guess.

"As I said, Hu Sheng didn't smash Zhou Zhiwen's head with a hammer. He would never hurt Anna and Jane's father, even if it was a bastard father. Chen Xianhui interrupted Shuqing, her voice low and sad.
