Chapter 120: Watching the Fire

A cold wind blew in, and Li Danan opened the 'door'. But Li Danan stood at the 'door', as if he remembered something.

The village chief said: "Li Danan, come in if you want to come in, go out if you want to go out, why are you standing at the 'door'." It's weird cold, you close the 'door'. ”

Li Danan reacted at this time, and then said: "By the way, the village chief, I suddenly thought of something. ”

With that, Li Danan walked in again.

Li Danan looked at us and said, "I remembered, when I came back today, I met a person on the road. ”

"Met someone?" I asked, intrigued by Li Danan's words, and sat up straight.

Li Danan sat down again and said seriously: "When you were talking just now, I thought of a person who was indeed walking in the opposite direction with me. At that time, it was estimated that it was four o'clock, and when I walked into the village, the old lady Wang walked outside the village, about a kilometer east of the corpse, and we passed by. ”

"At four o'clock?" I asked.

Li Danan snorted: "The west of the village is close to a national highway. There is a small convenience store next to the national highway, and there are many types of things that are cheaper. So I'd rather walk an extra hour at a time and go to the convenience store on the side of the national highway to buy groceries. When I came back, Mrs. Wang was also going to go shopping. ”

My eyes lit up, if what Li Danan said was true, then from the perspective of time, it is very likely that Mrs. Wang saw the murderer. Although you may not have seen the process of the murderer throwing the body, you should at least see the murderer, or at least see the footprints left by the murderer.

This clue is a clue with a breakthrough 'nature', if we can get a little clue from Mrs. Wang, it will be of great help to our detection work. Thinking of this, I hurriedly said to the old village chief: "Where does this old lady Wang live, if we can, I think we should meet her." ”

As soon as I spoke, I saw that Li Danan and the village chief were secretly frowning, as if I had put forward an unrealistic idea.

I looked at the two men and shrugged my shoulders, not understanding what was going on.

"How could it be her? The old village chief began to pack up the tea set: "It's good for anyone, but why is it Mrs. Wang." This is really a bit of a creation to 'get' people, and Mrs. Wang is not good at 'getting'. ”

The old village chief muttered to himself, and there was a hint in his tone that this matter was not easy to do.

I couldn't help but ask, "What's going on? What's wrong?"

The old village chief sighed, but still said: "You said that it was not good who went out to buy things at that time, why is it Mrs. Wang." To tell you the truth, almost all of us in Tougouzi Village are disabled. As for the old lady Wang in Li Danan's mouth, the special 'door' refers to a deaf and dumb old lady called Wang Meizhi. ”

"And then?" asked Guan Zengbin at this time.

The old village chief looked at Guan Zengbin and said, "Everyone knows the truth that ten out of ten are deaf and nine dumb. When Mrs. Wang was three years old, her father and mother divorced, and the court awarded her to her father who could support her financially. But her father is really not a thing, every time he vents his anger against his wife on this child, he has been committing domestic violence for many years. ”

When I heard this, I sighed again. Every time I talk about this, I know that this is often another story that ends in tragedy.

The old village chief slowly told us the story of Mrs. Wang: "His father began to commit domestic violence against Wang Meizhi when he was three years old. In this way, domestic violence continued until Wang Meizhi was six years old, and at this time, Wang Meizhi's hearing problems had problems. ”

"It's really a brute to be so ruthless to your own 'daughter'. Gu Chen gritted his teeth and said.

"Who says it's not?" the old village chief continued: "Wang Meizhi has been subjected to domestic violence for a long time, and her 'sexual' personality has become withdrawn and cowardly. At school, I never opened my mouth to 'communicate' with others, and I didn't dare to tell the teacher about it. Others thought she was a 'sexual' introvert, but in fact, by the end of the day, she could barely hear any sounds. ”

When Guan Zengbin heard this, his face was full of sympathy and distress: "Then no one has noticed her abnormality?

The old village chief shook his head and said, "At that time, it was not our era, and the kindergarten took care of all aspects of children. At that time, the kindergarten was a place where the children were stored, and as long as nothing major happened, the children could do whatever they liked, and the teachers didn't care. ”

Hearing this, Guan Zengbin shook his head and said softly: "It's really sad." ”

The old village chief moved his neck and smiled bitterly: "How can I say it, anyway, this child has been subjected to domestic violence for three years, and he has broken everything in his ears, so he must be able to see the traces of domestic violence on his face." It is estimated that the teachers are all doing ~ things with the attitude that more things are better than less things, so no one has wanted to investigate this matter clearly in the past three years. ”

"In the past three years, Wang Meizhi has not only been unable to hear anything, but has also not 'communicated' with the rest of the people," the old village chief looked at the snow outside the window and continued: "Then when I am seven years old, I will go to elementary school, and their city will give primary school students free physical examinations. At this time, the doctor found the wound on Wang Meizhi's body. ”

"What a brute. As he spoke, the old village chief became angry: "Even the doctor felt shocked when he saw the wound, and I don't know how this kid endured it." They asked left and right, but the child just wouldn't speak. A doctor noticed something was wrong and checked her hearing. ”

"Alas. Sighing, the old village chief continued: "After they checked, they found that Wang Meizhi's eardrums had been ruptured, and the ossicles were broken, and this girl couldn't hear anything at all. Wang Meizhi actually learned to speak when she was three years old, and she had no problem 'communicating' with others before. ”

The old village chief sighed again: "But in the past three years, she has very little 'communication' with people, and she has hearing problems again." Gradually, his language skills deteriorated. By the time the doctor found out, she didn't know how to speak. ”

"What happened later?" asked Guan Zengbin.

"Later. The old village chief said: "Later, because of domestic violence, Wang Meizhi was sentenced to her mother. But in fact, her mother may not be much better than her father. At that time, Wang Meizhi's mother had remarried someone else and already had a two-year-old baby. ”

The old village chief continued: "Her mother has a new family, and her mother saw her as her life three years ago, but three years later, there is a replacement. And under her father's domestic violence, Wang Meizhi is thin and thin, covered with scars, which is very ugly. Her new family has no way to integrate this deaf and dumb Wang Meizhi. ”

"The day after that. As the old village chief spoke, he kept shaking his head, his face full of expressions mixed with anger and sympathy: "Her mother also knows that Wang Meizhi has become deaf and dumb, and she can't say anything. So that afternoon, under the pretext of taking her out to play, her mother abandoned her in the small town of Elm City, and then left by herself. ”

Guan Zengbin's tears rolled in his eyes: "If you can't fulfill your responsibilities as a parent, don't have children!"

The old village chief 'rubbed' his eyes with his hands: "Who says it's not? When Wang Meizhi got off the merry-go-round, her mother was gone. She waited in the amusement park for a day and a night, and her mother would never come back. Six-year-old Wang Meizhi even cried dry tears, she didn't do anything wrong, but she was born to suffer. ”

Hearing the words of the old village chief, a sour feeling arose in my heart, as if I had knocked over a bottle of old vinegar in my heart, and the sour person wanted to shed tears. We don't know that on that night, Wang Meizhi stood alone next to the merry-go-round, waiting all night. We won't know what Wang Meizhi was thinking about that night.

It's a strange world where some people are born with smooth sailing and a life of luxury and enjoyment. But some people seem to be born to atone for their sins, and they have suffered all the torture and pain of the world.

The old village chief said slowly: "At that time, the management was not as strict as it is now, and no one took care of Wang Meizhi's affairs. But in this world, there are still well-wishers. In the afternoon of the next day, an old man found Wang Meizhi standing quietly under the merry-go-round. ”

"That old man is an old man from Tougouzi Village, Yumu City. The old village chief thought back and said, "At that time, I was still a little kid in Tougouzi Village. At that time, the old man took Wang Meizhi back to the village, and since then he has raised Wang Meizhi as his own granddaughter. ”

The old village chief smiled again when he thought of this: "Under the care of the old man, Wang Meizhi's injuries have also healed. It can be regarded as a ~ water hibiscus, and she has become a beautiful little girl. Under the care of the old man, Wang Meizhi slowly became able to say something. ”

"But. The old village chief's eyes dimmed: "The old man was already very old at that time, and when Wang Meizhi was fourteen or fifteen years old, the old man died. After the old man died, Wang Meizhi still lived in the village, and she made money by weaving some handicrafts for others, embroidering some 'bed' sheets and quilts for others. ”

The old village chief said: "After the old man died, Wang Meizhi never said a word again. Others tried to make her speak, but to no avail. After the age of eighteen, there are many people who say goodbye, but Wang Meizhi does not agree. After a lifetime like this, Wang Meizhi became Mrs. Wang, and since the age of fourteen, she has lived alone for more than fifty years. Now, it's even more difficult to 'communicate' with her. ”

This is a story of a man's silence and 'woman' tears, and Guan Zengbin has secretly wiped his tears.

The old village chief continued: "It is said that Wang Meizhi is not her original name, because the old man who raised her is surnamed Wang, so she is called Wang Meizhi. These are things that I have heard from the old people in the village, a long time ago. Now, those little kids of the past have become bad old men, and not many people know about these things. ”

"In the eyes of others. The old village chief lowered his head and said slowly: "Mrs. Wang may be a deaf, dumb and withdrawn old woman. None of them have seen Wang Meizhi at the age of fourteen, so that's what makes her look good......"
