Early the next morning, Tian Laofu came home from work and saw that Tian Xiu had already packed his things and was ready to go back to his hometown.

As soon as Tian Laofu saw Tian Xiu, he was angry.

Nian Zaitian left immediately, he could only suppress the anger in his heart, and took out a small lunch box from the kang cabinet, which contained a stack of banknotes.

Tian Laofu counted out thirty yuan, handed it to Tian Xiu and said, "Save some flowers, and ask me for it when you run out." ”

Tian Xiu didn't take the money, with a pair of big watery eyes, she kept looking out the door.

"Look, hurry up and pack your things and go." Tian Laofu thought that Tian Xiu was still worried about him and Huang Chunlan, and the fire in his heart couldn't be suppressed anymore. He said: "You almost killed someone, and now you are satisfied." ”

"Where's Blackie?" Almost at the same time, Tian Xiu asked his father a question.

Tian Laofu listened to Tian Xiu's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then turned his eyes to the hook at the door, and he saw that Xiao Hei's schoolbag was still hanging on it.

"What time did he come back last night?" Tian Laofu asked.

"He ......" Tian Xiu began to get nervous, and whispered: "I thought he stayed with you last night." ”

What!

Tian Laofu didn't say a word, turned around and left.

He walked from his home back to the depot and back from the depot to his home. The whole journey took less than ten minutes, and he looked carefully all the way, but found no trace of his son.

No, report it immediately.

Tian Laofu ran all the way to the police station and explained that his son was missing last night.

The police asked him to describe his son's dress.

Before he could finish his introduction, he was taken into a police car by the public security and rushed to the emergency room of the hospital at a galloping speed.

Looking through the window, the little black head was wrapped in gauze, with an oxygen mask on his mouth, and the whole person was in a coma.

"Is this your son?" The police asked.

"Son, son!" Tian Lao Fu didn't care to answer the questions of the police, he slammed the glass window and let out a heart-rending cry.

The workers of the steel rope factory who got off the first shift (12 o'clock in the morning) found a little boy on the side of the road, whose head had been hit by something, had sunken down, and a large pool of blood was dripping around, and the whole person was in a coma.

When the police at the police station arrived at the scene and sent the child to the hospital for rescue with a sidecar motorcycle, the child was already dying.

Doctors diagnosed that the child's skull was shattered, his brain stem was severely damaged, and he had lost so much blood that he had little hope of survival.

"Who did this, I have to kill him." Tian Laofu was outside the emergency room, anxious and hateful, and the whole person was almost crazy.

"You've offended someone lately." Based on experience, the police judged that this was a vendetta murder case.

Xiao Hei is only fourteen years old, a junior high school student, and only has a few cents in his pocket, so it is impossible for a criminal to kill for money.

Based on the injuries, the doctor judged that it was caused by a blow, and the murderer should have been a young and strong man, and there was a delay of at least several hours from the child's injury to the time he was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

"I'm just a gatekeeper, who can I offend." Tian Lao Fu said this, thinking of Huang Chunlan's sons in his heart, and he was embarrassed to mention what happened in Xiaolin.

Early yesterday morning, Huang Chunlan's two sons had already issued death threats to him.

If these boys really did it, they would have survived.

Tian Laofu secretly swore that he would only wait for the public security to find out the evidence to prove that Xiao Hei was killed by Huang Chunlan's son, and he risked his life to settle the account with these bastards.

"Please ask the family to pay the rescue fee." The head nurse of the emergency room handed a slip to Tian Laofeng and asked him to deposit 1,000 yuan in advance.

A thousand yuan, for Tian Laofu, nearly three years of salary income, he didn't eat or drink, and he couldn't make up the money.

"There is another option, and that is to ......" The head nurse saw a hint of panic in Tian Laofu's desperate expression. She paused for a moment and said, "As far as the child's injuries are concerned, it is estimated that there is no rescue value." ”

"I'll kill you!" Tian Laofu pounced with a "whoosh" and was about to strangle the head nurse.

Thanks to the public security on the side, Tian Laofu was controlled in time, otherwise, the consequences can be imagined.

"The child is still young, let's do our best to save it." The police said a fair word.

This is not only to remind the medical staff that the child's father has a work unit and will not default on the rescue expenses, so that the medical staff can do their best to rescue, but also to remind Tian Laofu that since you don't want to give up, you must find this huge amount of money as soon as possible.

Tian Laofu was so anxious that he spun around, and finally thought of the depot. He got on the sidecar of the public security officer, rushed all the way to the depot, and knelt in front of Lao Gu with a "poof".

When he couldn't do anything, he could only ask the union boss for help.

The old adviser knew the situation, did not dare to delay, and reported directly to the family.

"It's important to save a child's life." When the family immediately asked the finance office, Tian Laofu wrote a check for 1,000 yuan.

Tian Laofu shook his hand, took the check, and sat on the public security motorcycle.

The motorcycle galloped all the way, and the wind brought up by Tian Laofu "whirred" in his ears, like a war drum on the field, which suddenly awakened his chaotic thinking.

The son's life-saving money has been found, and the murderer must be caught as soon as possible, and the murderer must not be allowed to go unpunished.

Tian Laofu swept away all his worries and truthfully told the public security what happened to him and Huang Chunlan, as well as what Huang Chunlan's two sons had said.

There is no need for Tian Laofu to say anything, the public security will know what to do.

They sent Tian Laofeng to the hospital, immediately went to the neighborhood committee, verified the situation reported by Tian Laofeng, and then went to Huang Chunlan's house and took her three sons to the police station for examination separately.

Huang Chunlan's two eldest sons received a call from their third brother Xu Jian, and rushed home overnight, always staying by their mother's side, afraid that their mother would not be able to think about it again and do something stupid.

They did not deny what they had said to Tian Laofu, and told the public security the truth about their movements.

The public security focused their suspicions on Xu Jian, the third child.

Xu Jian relied on his two older brothers, and when he was in junior high school, he had several fights. On one occasion, he injured someone and was sent to a detention center for a week.

The public security had a good grasp of his case record and investigated him in detail.

Xu Jian's face was innocent, and when answering the details of the public security questions, he stumbled, and some donkey lips were not in the horse's mouth.

Huang Chunlan's two eldest sons were released, and the police only left Xu Jian behind, suspecting him of major suspicions.

The police interrogated Xu Jian overnight.

Xu Jianxian was slapped in the mouth by the public security officers a few times, he refused to admit that he was the murderer, which angered the public security, and tied him up with a thumb-thick hemp rope, which made his face sweat all over his face, and he also insisted that he was innocent.

Public security officers also searched Huang Chunlan's home, hoping to find the murder weapon.

The families of railway workers who live near the railway inevitably have several railway-related objects. Scrap iron pipes, old sleepers, railway heads, etc.

They didn't find a piece of iron in Huang Chunlan's house, which had nothing to do with daily life.

"What were you doing after six o'clock last night?" The police questioned Huang Chunlan.

"I didn't do anything, I was at home waiting to sleep." Huang Chunlan replied very smoothly.

The daily life of the people is like this, after dinner, put away the tableware, under normal circumstances, there are no special circumstances, basically the family stays together, listening to the commentary broadcast on the radio.

Stay up until eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and it's time to go to bed.

Huang Chunlan has just returned from the hospital, and she is in a special period, so it is impossible to go to the neighbors' houses to visit the house.

"What is Xu Jian doing at home?" Huang Chunlan listened to the question of the public security, hesitated for a moment before saying, "He may be sleeping." ”

"You promise he's sleeping." The police warned Huang Chunlan that if she didn't report it and shielded the bad guys, she would be an accomplice.

According to Xu Jian's confession, he said that he always listened to the commentary at home.

Huang Chunlan's answer is different from Xu Jian's confession.

"You can't let people live!" Huang Chunlan suddenly became emotional, and even cried and made trouble with the police.

The public security learned from the neighborhood committee that Huang Chunlan had just committed suicide by taking poison, and her mood swings were large at this time, which was a normal psychological reaction, so they persuaded her to calm down.

Early the next morning, Xu Jian was formally contained and examined.

Some people may ask, since the public security did not find effective evidence, why did they take Xu Jian into custody and review. We can't use the current laws and regulations to evaluate the public security cases of 40 years ago.

At that time, the public security cracked such a major criminal case, and without any effective evidence, they could only use special means to force the parties to have a psychological breakdown and finally complete the investigation.

The containment and review of Xu Jian is one of the special measures.

Tian Laofeng handed over the check to the hospital, and the doctor continued to use the ventilator for Xiao Hei.

The so-called ventilator is to assist the passive breathing of critically ill patients and promote blood circulation, so as to ensure vital signs.

A significant number of patients have been forced to request to be ventilated after their families cannot afford to pay for life-sustaining costs. Normally, the doctor will announce that the patient's vital signs are gone, and to put it bluntly, he is dead.

Tian Laofu stayed outside the emergency room of the hospital for three days and three nights, and was forcibly carried home by Lao Gu.

He slept for less than an hour before he got up from the kang and stumbled to the depot.

The incident happened suddenly, and except for Lao Gu and several main leaders in the unit, everyone else knew what happened in the Tian family.

Tian Laofu first went to the repair scrap pile, picked out a scrapped bogie spring, and then went to the forging class, threw the spring into the furnace to burn red, and begged the blacksmith to help him straighten the spring, forge it into a steel strip, and then carry out deep processing to create a 30 centimeter thick, less than one meter long sheet knife.

He explained to the blacksmith: "I helped my relatives make a knife to go up the mountain to chop wood. ”

Between workers, they often joke and tease each other together. When you meet someone who has a personal matter, you will definitely not discount it, and you will definitely try your best to help.

It took Tian Laofu nearly two hours to make a large knife with spring steel, and then cut it, quenched it, and grinded it.

Spring steel is a special type of steel that is hard and flexible.

Tian Laofu wrapped the knife in a rag, left the forging class, and went home directly. On the way, he saw a tree, and he raised his knife and fell, and the branch of the rolling pin, which was cut off in response.

He returned home, found the rubber belt, tied the handle of the knife firmly, hid the knife in the lower room, and prepared for the contingency. Just wait for him to have a final negotiation with Huang Chunlan before deciding on the next step.

When Huang Chunlan's family heard that Xu Jian had been sent to a detention center, they panicked.

Xu Jian's two elder brothers couldn't care about taking care of their mother at home, so they went out separately to find out the exact reason why Xu Jian was taken into custody.

Huang Chunlan was worried that Xu Jian would cause other troubles and would not be able to withstand the torture of the public security, so she confessed truthfully.

She didn't believe that Xu Jian could really poison Xiao Hei.

After all, we have been neighbors for more than ten years, and the relationship between the two families has always been very good. For the sake of her and Tian Laofu, even if these brothers blew up their lungs, at most they could rush into Tian Laofu's house and beat Tian Laofu violently, but they would not cause Xiao Hei to die.

With this life and death experience, Huang Chunlan also thought clearly, it was time for an official showdown with the children.

Huang Chunlan sent Xu Ying to the store to buy a pound of meat, and the two of them wrapped a meal of dumplings.

As soon as the dumplings were brought to the table, she told the children the truth.

Of course, she couldn't tell the children the truth about what happened in the grove. She first made an objective evaluation of Tian Laofu's personality, indicating that she entrusted the second half of her life to Tian Laofu, which can effectively reduce the pressure on the children's lives.

Before Huang Chunlan could make a final decision, her two sons interrupted her and said, "If you really decide to do this, we will be rooted in the countryside for the rest of our lives and will never come back." ”

The two sons didn't eat a single dumpling, and immediately got up and returned to the youth point. In this way, they made it clear that they were dissatisfied with their mother's remarriage.

Xu Ying did not openly oppose it like her two elder brothers, but expressed her opposition in silent tears.

Huang Chunlan sighed helplessly, it seems that she and Tian Laofu are really inseparable in this life.

On the second day when Huang Chunlan was forced by the pressure of her children and decided to give up her twilight love with Tian Laofeng, Tian Laofeng took the initiative to come to the door.

He wants to make a final break with Huang Chunlan.
