"You guessed it. My mother was good-looking, but she had a big mole on her face, and no one would say she was pretty.

Zhongshan 2nd Road is not far away, I put down the phone and pedaled my bicycle, entered an old community, pretended to be a neighbor child who went to the wrong door, knocked on the door of 5 buildings 201, the woman who opened the door was about forty years old,, and had some charm. There was no one else at home, the furniture was shabby, and the woman was obviously in a bad mood, so she scolded me a few words and knocked on the door.

I spent half an hour listening to people chatting in the community, occasionally interjecting and asking about the woman's name was Li Cui, who moved from out of town a few years ago, lived alone, and currently worked at a highway toll booth. ”

"Let me guess again. Gu Tie couldn't help but interject, "Keeping a woman's photo close to you is either a lover or an unrequited love." If the woman in the photo is indeed Li Cui, then it is almost certain that Zhang Debao and Li Cui are either divorced, or Li Cui dumped him, in short, they have been separated for many years.

The address on the small note is Zhang Debao's recent get, for a careless man, the shelf life of this kind of thing is not too long, linked to Li Cui's work, I think Zhang or Zhang's friends, fellow villagers recently recognized Li Cui when they cleared the toll booth, and then inquired about the address.

After the two met, there must have been a conflict, Li's spirit was depressed, Zhang seemed to have been stimulated by some kind, and the reunion of the long-lost lover should be a happy event, and there must be a hidden emotion when he is so sad. ”

"Gu Tie, did anyone say that you are a guy who is so smart that it is boring?" Xiao Liping pushed his glasses and asked.

"Please continue, please continue. Gu Tie closed his mouth and made a movement to pull the zipper.

To make a long story short, Zhang Debao and Li Cui got married in Xiangfan when they were twenty years old, and after the marriage, Zhang Debao began to drive long-distance buses, and Li Cui went to Jingmen City not far away to work, and went home every weekend to reunite.

Two years later, Li Cui was pregnant, Zhang Debao nervous her daughter-in-law, asked her to stop working in Xiangfan to give birth, Li Cui was reluctant to that salary, the two discussed working until two months before the expected date of delivery, during this period, Zhang Debao also went out more to save money for the soon-to-be-born child, and rarely went home.

One day when Li Cui was seven months pregnant, Zhang Debao took the car home and found Li Cui sitting in the house, her face pale, and when she asked, she said that the child had been miscarried.

Zhang Debao almost went crazy and asked the reason, Li Cui refused to say, the two had a big quarrel, which eventually led to divorce, and Li Cui left for a long time until twenty years later, when they reunited in City A.

A few months ago, Zhang Debao drove by City A, recognized Li Cui at the toll window, and did not dare to recognize each other in person.

The two have not married since the divorce, and the relationship is very good after the reunion, and since then, as long as Zhang Debao gets out of the car and passes through City A, he has to go to Li Cui's place for a few days. Xiao Liping said without emotion.

"It's like a story from the story. Gu Tie commented.

After getting along for a long time, Zhang Debao unconsciously asked about the reason for the child's miscarriage, Li Cui prevaricated and refused to talk about it, until Zhang sent PP raw materials to Guangzhou through City A, and after staying in a suburban hotel, he took a car into the city to meet Li Cui, and continued this topic, Li Cui was extremely annoyed and said: "The man who guarded the door of our factory kicked me. Zhang Debao turned his head angrily after hearing this, and called to find someone, Li Cui was working in Jingmen City Resin Arts and Crafts Factory, the factory was still there, and after several rounds of asking that the factory was looking at the gate 20 years ago was a man from other places, a migrant worker from Ningxia, surnamed Xiao. ”

"Your father. Gu Tie sighed and took a sip of whiskey.

"The surname Xiao is a person who knows how to report the kindness, left the factory more than ten years ago, and then sent gifts and New Year's cards to the old factory director every New Year's holiday, Zhang Debao called the old factory director, and asked the whereabouts of the man surnamed Xiao: also in City A.

Zhang Debao left a truckload of goods alone, spent three days to find out the law of Lao Xiao's actions, and finally, drove a truck and killed him at the intersection that Lao Xiao had to go to work every morning, avenging his own child who died twenty years ago. ”

“...... I have two questions. Gu Tie was silent for a long time and said.

"I know what you're asking.

First, yes, what Li Cui said was indeed a lie, and the person who caused her miscarriage was not the gatekeeper of the factory, but the factory director. During the part-time job, Li Cui ate and slept with the old factory director, she was a working girl who earned a high salary without working, and the old factory director still slept with her when she was seven months pregnant, and the pressure ** led to the rupture of fetal membranes and the death of fetal suffocation. Lao Xiao knew about this, but the old factory director had the grace of knowing him, he kept the secret and refused to tell anyone. When Zhang Debao asked, Li Cui remembered the loyal janitor back then, and said casually, but who would have thought that the hatred in Zhang Debao's chest was so strong, and Lao Xiao happened to be in City A;

Second, yes, I killed them, hateful people must have pity, Li Cui is young and ignorant, Zhang Debao lost his innocent son, but I didn't have a soft heart, if I were you, you wouldn't be soft-hearted, here, it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong, what matters is cause and effect, I killed people, and proved the karmic results of the death of both parents, worthy of God and Buddha. Xiao Liping narrowed his eyes.

Gu Tie applauded lightly. "Well said. I can sleep, which means that I am the one who should be killed, and I pick up the fruit knife and go to fight with the dog man and woman. But you were ...... back then I'm afraid I'm thinking longer than I do now. ”

"Huh. Now it is worthy of saying that I was so scared back then, I was thirteen years old, how could I not be afraid? I was afraid of being found by others, so I went to public wifi hotspots to check information on the Internet, walked and avoided cameras, made phone calls with coin-operated phones, never missed classes, arrived late, and left early, behaved meekly and obediently at school, regularly called my aunt to report her safety, and often talked with the aunt of the community neighborhood committee. It took a whole year to kill someone. Xiao Liping laughed self-deprecatingly.

"A year?" Gu Tie's eyes widened.

"It's not the kind of torture for a year that restricts the acupoints and cuts flesh for a year with a slow knife as in martial arts novels, which is too unrealistic for a child. It took a year to eliminate all traces of man-made and lay out the bureau of accidental death.

Zhang Debao behaved well during the probation period, he thought that he had taken revenge, and he was unhindered and concentrated on his work; Li Cui was ashamed and obedient to Zhang Debao, and the two soon remarried and settled in City A.

After gathering all the information - the story I told above, I found information from different witnesses and reconstructed the story - and determined the goal, I began to learn everything there was to know about the perfect murder.

There are many kinds of accidents, and what role to play in an accident is the most important, because human behavior inevitably leaves traces, criminal evidence studies physical traces, criminal psychology studies mental traces, and if you want to leave no traces, the killer must play an extremely distant role, far beyond the eyes of the police. ”

Gu Tie patted Xiao Liping's arm with interest: "You are really a delicate man." I advocate drawing the sword. ”

"No, no, I'm fundamentally different from you, I'm a grass people, a lonely and weak junior high school student, and you, although I can't see who is standing behind you, but the energy you show on the 'Genesis' client is something I have never seen before, in the quantum network, you have extremely large power. I'm not wrong. Xiao Liping glanced at him, "Young Master Gu." ”

"Phew. Gu Tie took a sip, "You also learn from others to snub me." How many times have I said that my foreign father is just a rich scientist. You go on. ”

"Good. After rejecting many methods, I finally found an opportunity: half a year after my father's death, Zhang Debao and Li Cui bought the old house of 201, Building 5, No. 54, Zhongshan Second Road, and prepared to renovate it as a new house for remarriage.

They found out that the son of the contractor was studying in a middle school not far away, and used the time after class to follow the kid, find out his habits of being a righteous and sparse man, and find an opportunity to fight with him, thus becoming his hardcore buddy.

During that time, I went to his house every day to play, and finally when the design drawings appeared, I secretly looked, their house has changed a lot, and the gas line has to be re-routed, so I made a small change, moving the non-load-bearing wall between the kitchen and the bedroom forward by five centimeters, leaving a ventilation duct.

Then I inadvertently said in front of the contractor, my classmate's father opened a building materials store, the new gas pipes are very cheap, the contractor really asked for details, I told him an address, it is a small pipe shop, before that, I bought a batch of PVC oil-resistant gas pipes in the east of the city in the name of helping the home decoration, returned home, carefully disposed of the internal polyester fiber sealing layer, and then took it to the building materials store in the west of the city, and sold the pipes to the store owner at a very low price in the name of stealing the decoration materials at home in exchange for pocket money。

Of course, the boss sold these materials of unknown origin to the contractor and made a small amount of money.

The next thing is logical, Zhang Debao's new house was installed with my gas pipeline, and there was nothing to do in half a year, and half a year was enough time for me to create some small accidents to scare the contractor to pack up his bags and get out of City A. ”

"How do you feel when you watch the enemy who killed your father happily for a year?" Gu Tie couldn't help but ask.

"At first, I was angry, then I was anxious, and then later, peeping at Zhang Debao became a part of my extracurricular life, and I didn't have any feelings in it.

I punched holes in many holes in that batch of PVC pipes, sealed them with rubber material that can be corroded by gas, and calculated that they would erode after a maximum of 180 days, and the gas pressure would widen the holes, and the balloons would blow through the narrow spaces behind the walls of the kitchen and bedroom, and the wires would pass through there, and the switch box for the electric light would be at the end of the wires.

The deadline is approaching, and I stay downstairs at Zhang Debao's house night and night, and there is no camera in the old residential area, which is convenient for me to keep watch.

The explosion didn't sound for a long time, and I gradually began to panic, wondering if something was wrong with my design, and one day, I even called Zhang Debao's mobile phone with a coin-operated phone in the middle of the night, hoping that the electric spark could ignite the spilled gas. What a stupid act. Xiao Liping sighed leisurely.

"And in the end?"

"I don't see it. One morning, the third period was Chinese class, I stayed up in the middle of the night, I couldn't help but doze off, the teacher was reading "Chen Shijia" on the stage, suddenly the classroom door opened, and the grade leader shouted to the Chinese teacher on the podium: "Teacher Chen, the gas in your community has exploded!"

There was a commotion in the classroom, and the head of the grade group walked up to the blackboard, clapped his palms and said, 'Students, there was a gas explosion on Zhongshan 2nd Road, do any of your classmates live there?' There was a buzz in the classroom, and no one raised their hands.

The head of the grade group breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The explosion happened at 9:40, I heard that the explosion killed two people, a man and a woman, so don't panic, this class will be changed to self-study." Then he went out.

When I heard this, I didn't feel anything in my heart. There is no relief. There is no relief. There is no pleasure. There is no sorrow. There wasn't even a pulse of emotion, I just felt a cold jaw and a touch of my hand, and I found that tears were flowing down, and strangely, I didn't cry, or rather, I didn't want to cry, but tears came out of nowhere.

Later, I thought that if Zhang Debao was not a long-distance bus driver who worked all the time, and Li Cui was not a highway toll collector on duty, they would not have been lying in their bedrooms at 10 a.m., and they would not have been killed by the childish revenge of a thirteen-year-old child;

But on the other hand, if Zhang Debao was not a long-distance bus driver, what would he have done to kill my father? And if Li Cui had not been a highway toll collector, the rumor that led to my father's death would not have occurred at all, and the whole incident would not have happened at all.

My mother is not wrong, cause and effect exist, there are fractions in the dark, and although I am now a Marxist-Leninist who believes in materialism, I dare not speak falsely when it comes to cause and effect. This is the story of my murder, which is neither thrilling nor exciting, and I am content to be able to help you drink. ”

After Xiao Liping finished speaking, he took a sip of wine, and saw from the wine glass that Gu Tie had dried the third glass of whiskey, threw the glass on the table, and let out a mouthful of turbidity.

"Dude. Gu Tie's eyes were red and he reached out to touch the back of Xiao Liping's hand, "I admire you, really." ”

In fact, there are hundreds of explosions caused by inferior PVC gas pipes every year, and the police do not intervene in the investigation at all. Section Chief Xiao shook off his hand with a calm expression.

"I admire that you can tell your own story so much that it doesn't matter to you, Lao Xiao, the first time I saw someone like you, I squeezed the bitterness to the extreme, and there was no bitter taste, like a cold melon that had been boiled for half a night, only the slightest veins remained. Go, go to my house, I have a big basket of stories to tell you. Gu Tie stood up, took Xiao Liping's arm and walked out, regardless of the strength of the wine, walking crookedly.

"Hey, bayonet. Section Chief Xiao reluctantly went out with him, looked back at the 54-style triangular military thorn inserted on the coffee table, and couldn't help but remind.

"Less, there's no bayonet, just a piece of iron. There's a word called 'growing up overnight', old Xiao, I think my first night is left to you. Gu Tie looked back and smiled.

Xiao Liping trembled and muttered, "Mother, mother, sure enough, everyone has a magic barrier in their lives......"
