Chapter Twenty-Five: Year-Old Love
Under our continuous questioning, Ma Chengan finally told us about his past with Guan Xutong.
"Guan Xutong has lived in the village since she was a child, and I can say that I grew up watching her, she was very cute when she was young, and I often went to see her at home.
Guan Xutong's father's name is Guan Zhongyou, we all know each other, Guan Zhongyou is more than ten years older than me, I call him big brother.
Later, when Guan Xutong grew up, he went to school in the town, and later went to college.
It's been many years, and I haven't seen Guan Xutong for many years. It wasn't until she returned to the village this time and worked at the village clinic that I saw her again.
I haven't seen her for many years, she has become more and more slim, I don't know why, I feel like I have lost my soul, and I feel as if I have a different kind of emotion for Guan Xutong.
As long as I can't see her for a day, I feel empty in my heart.
After she worked at the health center, she often had to go to the county seat to buy things and goods, and I happened to have a car, so I often took her.
After a lot of going back and forth, we got in touch.
But the more time passed, the more I felt that something was not right, and I felt as if I was in love with her.
I know that this relationship is a bit immoral, I'm almost old enough to be her father, and I still know Guan Zhongyou.
But I just can't control myself, I like her, I love her, I want to live with her, I don't care what other people think.
I just fell in love with her......
I didn't tell her directly, though, that I wanted to test her mind. Slowly, I recognized her as a godsister.
With the change of title, our relationship has become more intimate, Guan Xutong often talks to me about some personal matters, and he does not shy away from me at all.
Later, I suddenly found that Zhang Dashunzi in the village seemed to like Guan Xutong and often went to Guan Xutong.
Fortunately, in the end, Guan Xutong decisively rejected Zhang Dashunzi, and Guan Xutong told Zhang Dashunzi that he had someone he liked.
After hearing the news, I was excited for several days, I thought that Guan Xutong also liked me, but I didn't say anything because of a hurdle in my heart.
After all, we are twenty years apart, and if we really want to be together, we must break the world's prejudices, we must withstand a lot of gossip, and it takes absolute courage.
At that time, I decided to take the initiative myself, and I couldn't let a girl talk about this kind of thing.
So one day, I was honest with her about my feelings for her, and I told her that I liked her, and I was going to divorce my wife and marry her.
At that time, Guan Xutong was very surprised when she heard my words, and she didn't seem to expect me to confess to her at all.
Fortunately, she gave me enough face and politely rejected me, which did not embarrass me in particular.
But I still don't give up, I really fall in love with her.
I thought she was just embarrassed and didn't agree.
Or maybe she's afraid I'll lie to her feelings.
So, I decided to set an example and divorce my wife. ”
After listening to Ma Chengan, I finally connected everything together, especially the divorce incident that Ma Chengan's wife Yin Guiqin told me.
I looked at Ma Chengan and asked seriously: "But your wife didn't agree, right?" ”
Ma Chengan nodded and said lightly: "Yes, my wife doesn't agree to divorce whether she lives or dies." I told her that I could give her the house as long as she agreed to the divorce, but she just wouldn't agree. ”
"At first, your wife didn't agree to divorce you, but then your wife agreed to divorce you, why didn't you agree again?" Li Meng asked with some gossip.
Ma Chengan slowly lowered his head, his face was full of guilt, and he smiled bitterly: "I thought Guan Xutong was testing me at that time, and I wanted to see if I had the courage to divorce." Later, I overheard Guan Xutong say that she had someone she liked, and that person was her high school classmate named Han Xingqiu.
I'd never heard the name and thought she was making up an excuse for it.
But a few days later, a volunteer teacher came to the village, and that teacher was named Han Xingqiu.
A few months later, I saw Han Xingqiu and Guan Xutong hugging each other tightly, and I realized that everything was my fault.
All of this is my own passion.
And my relationship with her shouldn't exist at all.
That same night, my daughter got sick at school and I drove overnight to the hospital to see her.
The moment I saw my daughter, I suddenly realized that I was sorry for them and that I would treat them well in the future.
Since then, I have completely given up on the idea of divorcing my wife. ”
"Then you became jealous of Han Xingqiu and killed Guan Xutong?!" After listening to his words, I suddenly changed my words and made a serious voice.
When Ma Chengan heard my words, he raised his head suddenly, looked at me in a daze, and defended in a loud voice: "No! I didn't kill her! ”
"You didn't kill her? Why do you have your footprints at the scene of the crime?! My eyes were fixed on him, and I said seriously.
"It's not me! It's really not me...... Footprints...... Footprints ......" Ma Chengan's defense became paler and paler, and his voice became quieter and quieter.
"What did you do at Guan Xutong's house?!" Li Meng took over and questioned sharply.
"I ...... I ......" Ma Chengan's face was a little ugly, and he kept opening and closing his mouth, as if there was something unspeakable.
Now that Guan Xutong is dead, Ma Chengan himself knows that we are doubting him.
So even if there are too many unspeakable secrets, Ma Chengan must tell us the truth.
Ma Chengan kept taking deep breaths, and after doing enough psychological construction, he slowly spoke and said to us: "Although I have given up the pursuit of Guan Xutong, I still think of her from time to time......
That day, I was obsessed with her and wanted to see her.
I didn't see her at the village clinic, thinking that Guan Zhongyou went to the city to see his grandson in those days, Guan Xutong must have gone home.
So I was going to go to Guan Xutong's house to have a look.
I walked into her house and saw Guan Xutong and Han Xingqiu eating in the bedroom, looking at their intimate appearance, I was very embarrassed, so I had to make an excuse.
I asked Guan Xutong if he wanted to go to the county seat to take medicine recently, and I was going out for a few days of long-distance running.
Guan Xutong said that there is no need to go into the city to take medicine recently, let me go and live.
I nodded, turned and left. ”
In this way, the footprints in the room can also be clearly described.
The No. 2 footprint is Ma Chengan's, and the No. 3 footprint is Han Xingqiu's, so the remaining No. 1 footprint is most likely left by the murderer.
But what we know about the killer is nothing but a size 42 sneaker footprint......
