Raindrops were dripping from the sky, and the clear sky was covered by clouds. It was about to rain, so the physical education teacher temporarily transferred the physical education class to the indoor physical education classroom. The physical education teacher, who had a figure comparable to that of a bodybuilder, led the students to do warm-up exercises, and
The students were asked to run around the stadium a few times, and then a large box of light ball sports equipment was moved out and allowed the students to move around freely.
Wenbo rejected several boys' invitations to play ball, picked up a badminton racket from the frame and started playing badminton with a girl in his class. He was not very good at sports, but he was good at badminton. He was tall and thin, and his hands
With long legs, he runs like the wind on the court, and his movements are agile and precise.
The girl opposite accidentally missed the ball, and the badminton flew toward the auditorium on the left side of the stadium, hitting Yao Mulan who was sitting on the steps.
"Ah, I'm sorry!" the girl apologized.
Wenbo walked over, bent down to pick up the badminton that had fallen to the ground, looked at Yao Mulan and asked in a low voice: "Did I hit you?"
Yao Mulan smoothed the messy hair on the side of her face and shook her head.
Wenbo went back and continued to play until his opponent was exhausted and defeated. Then he left the center of the venue and sat on the steps next to him. His back was touched by something, and he turned around to see Yao Mulan handing him a bottle.
Water and a pack of paper towels. He caught the water and paper towels and said thank you.
Yao Mulan sat behind him on the steps one level above him. She looked around first to make sure no one was paying attention to them, and then she said softly: "The head teacher talked to me today."
Wenbo's voice was also very low: "What did she say?"
Yao Mulan: "She asked me which university I wanted to go to. She was about to be a senior and asked me to find my goal as soon as possible."
Wenbo: "She also looked for me."
Yao Mulan looked at the thin, white back of his neck outside the collar of his school uniform and asked nervously, "What did you say?"
Wenbo shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet. I like places with warm climates, and I also want to go further, maybe to the south."
In fact, Yao Mulan had already guessed that he would choose a distant and warm place, so she was already prepared: "What about...Singapore?"
Wenbo paused: "Singapore?"
Yao Mulan: "Study in Singapore, do you want to go?"
Wenbo's heart skipped a beat, then quickly returned to reality: "I can't go, I have to take care of Wenxin and I can't leave her behind."
Yao Mulan couldn't wait to say: "The three of us will go together, you, me, and Wen Xin, let's go together. As long as you are willing to go, I will figure out other things. Last year, my mother bought a house in Senxiangshui River and hung it on
Under my name, I checked the current market price of that house, which is enough for our tuition and living expenses to study abroad. I want to sell that house, take the money, go far away, and never come back."
The future she outlined was very beautiful, but Wenbo was not moved either, but felt extremely sad.
Yao Mulan saw that he was drowning in sadness again and said: "You must leave here, otherwise you will never get out."
Wenbo was touched by these words. Yao Mulan was right. He couldn't stay in Yucheng. The city was dead in his heart. He couldn't spend the life he had not yet started guarding a pile of ruins.
At this time, the get out of class bell rang, and students walked out of the venue one after another. Wenbo said: "I will discuss it with Wenxin."
He also walked out with everyone. Yao Mulan followed him not far or close, keeping her distance from him as always. Returning to the teaching building, Wenbo went to the third floor where the liberal arts class was located. Before he reached Wenxin's classroom,
Wen Xin's class teacher was seen walking out of the classroom, followed closely by Wen Xin.
Wenbo: "Wenxin?"
Wen Xin turned around and saw him, with a fragile and helpless look on her face: "Brother."
The head teacher also saw Wenbo: "Wenbo, your teacher Gong has been looking for you for a long time, come and follow me." He made a mistake and saw Yao Mulan behind Wenbo, "Yao Mulan is here too, all three of you are here."
Come with me."
When he arrived at the office, Wenbo recognized two familiar faces and remembered that they were police officers. One was named Gu and the other was Qi.
Teacher Gong said: "Wenbo Wenxin, your grandmother is at the Public Security Bureau. And Yao Mulan, your mother is also at the Public Security Bureau. The police uncle is here to pick you up."
Gu Hai and Qi Tianlei took the three students out of the school and drove them back to the police station. They drove a seven-seater business car, and the three students sat together. Qi Tianlei turned the seat in front of him backwards and sat face to face with them.
Wenbo looked at the policemen sitting in front of him, knowing in his heart that Qi Tianlei was watching them to prevent "collusion in confessions". It was the police's precautions that gave him a premonition that something big might happen today.
"Officer, why did you take us to the Public Security Bureau?" he asked.
Qi Tianlei smiled and said: "You will know when we get there. Don't tense up, you guys, relax."
Wenbo felt Wen Xin's nervousness, so he held the back of Wen Xin's hand: "My sister is timid. Can she not go in when we get to the Public Security Bureau later?"
Qi Tianlei: "No, I have to ask you about something. Don't worry, your grandma is here too."
When they arrived at the Public Security Bureau, Wenbo and Wenxin were led by Gu Hai and Qi Tianlei to a conference room on the third floor. As soon as they walked in, Wenxin was hugged tightly by her grandmother, who rubbed her head and face back and forth distressedly: "My poor grandson
Sun! It’s my daughter’s fault for passing away early, and you two motherless children have suffered!”
She pulled Wenbo into her arms again and hugged him, crying non-stop.
Wenbo wondered: "Grandma, what happened?"
Han Feilu and Mu Xuecheng walked in, and then the conference room was closed. Apart from their grandfather and grandson, there were only two police officers, Han Feilu and Mu Xuecheng. Yao Mulan was taken to the next room by Gu Hai and Qi Tianlei.
Han Feilu pointed to the chair on one side of the long table and said, "Sit down and talk."
Grandma pulled Wenbo and Wenxin to sit down and held their hands tightly.
Han Feilu saw doubts and uneasiness on the faces of Wen Bo and Wen Xin, and said, "Just now your grandma discovered this thing when she was washing clothes at home."
He pushed a small evidence bag to the center of the long table. Wenbo took a closer look, and there was a buzz in his head, and he froze instantly - it was an exquisite women's platinum ring, the color was 90% new.
Han Feilu saw Wenbo's expression change, stared at him and asked: "Wenbo, whose ring is this?"
Wenbo felt as if he was being blown by a strong wind. He couldn't help but tremble in the wind, his body was swaying, and the wild howling wind was in his ears. He couldn't hear the sound and couldn't think.
Han Feilu asked again: "Whose ring is this?"
When Wenbo felt that he could no longer hold on and was about to collapse, he heard Wenxin say: "It's mine."
Han Feilu looked at Wen Xin, his eyes were cold, but seemed to contain a fire: "Yours?"
Wen Xin lowered her head, kneaded her fingers shyly, and said in a low voice, "Dad gave it to me."
When grandma heard this, she couldn't help but wailed again: "I knew it! I knew it was a good thing he did! Comrade police, you must shoot him!"
Han Feilu was worried that she would have an accident if she was overly emotional, so he asked Mu Xuecheng to comfort her, then picked up the ring in the evidence bag and asked Wen Xin: "Are you sure this was given to you by Wen Zaizhou?"
?”
Wen Xin timidly pointed to the inside of the ring: "It has my initials inside."
Yes, the two letters wx are indeed engraved on the inside of the ring, followed by another string of English letters: love.
Han Feilu asked again: "Why did Wen Zaizhou give you this ring?"
Wen Xin: "He said that I have grown up and this ring represents my transformation from a girl to a woman."
Han Feilu: "When did he give it to you?"
Wen Xin: "It's my mother's birthday."
Han Feilu: "Why did he give you a gift on your mother's birthday?"
Wen Xin's face turned red with embarrassment, as if it was hard to say: "He said that I look more and more like my mother, as if I were carved from the same mold. He can think of my mother every time he sees me."
Grandma stroked her heart to calm herself down. When she heard Wen Xin's words, she couldn't help but curse: "Xin Xin does look similar to my daughter, but no matter how much she looks like, she is not her mother! Wen Zaizhou is a bastard who can kill a thousand people."
, how dare you regard Xinxin as my daughter! Oh, oh, oh, oh, damn, damn!"
Han Feilu waited patiently for his grandmother to finish venting, and then asked Wen Xin: "Do you like this ring?"
Wen Xin shook his head.
Han Feilu: "Why don't you like it?"
Wen Xin: "It's strange. He is my father. He shouldn't give me this kind of thing. I just feel so ashamed."
Han Feilu asked Wenbo again: "Do you know about it?"
Wenbo still didn't speak, and Wenxin answered for him: "My brother knows, I told him. He was very angry and had a quarrel with his father."
Han Feilu thought it was necessary to find out whether Wen Zaizhou had violated Wen Xin, but this question was very private and not suitable for a man to ask, so he gave Mu Xuecheng a look, and Mu Xuecheng immediately took Wen Xin away.
I went out, found a quiet and unoccupied office, and asked her carefully.
After Wen Xin went out, Han Feilu looked at Wen Bo. Wen Bo's face was still very bad, and the pain that was trying to be suppressed came out of his eyes. Han Feilu thought about the scene where he was hiding in the stairwell and crying.
The cry he made was unbearable to hear. It was a kind of sadness that would crush your heart, liver, spleen, and lungs inch by inch, and the pain was like a dull knife grinding on your bones.
Looking at Wen Bo's face, Han Feilu felt pity, so he let him go for the time being and asked his grandmother: "How did you find this ring?"
Grandma said: "I was cleaning at home and was going to wash out the sheets, quilts and dirty clothes from the two children's rooms, but the washing machine kept ringing, so I checked to see if there was anything in it, and found this ring.
."
Han Feilu: "Which piece of clothing did the ring fall out of?"
Grandma: "The laundry inside is almost all Wen Xin's clothes. They fell out of Wen Xin's clothes. Comrade police, if Wen Zaizhou does something worse than a beast, you must punish him severely!"
Han Feilu glanced at Wen Bo intentionally and said: "If Wen Zaizhou is convicted of sexually molesting an underage girl, plus manslaughter, and punished for several crimes concurrently, he will be sentenced to at least ten years."
Wenbo suddenly shuddered, raised his head with a blank expression, and suddenly met Han Feilu's eyes, and realized that Han Feilu had been staring at him. He quickly turned his head away from Han Feilu.
gaze.
Han Feilu called a police officer in to accompany them, and then left the conference room with the ring. He stopped a passing police officer and asked him to take the ring to the forensic room for examination. In fact, the ring was stirred several times in the drum of the washing machine and washed.
There will basically not be any trace substances left behind, but for the sake of rigor, it is still necessary to take it for inspection.
Then Han Feilu turned into the office next door, where sat Gu Hai, Qi Tianlei, and Yao Zichen and Yao Mulan. They sat opposite each other, with a long table in between. On the table were the dirty rabbit doll and
An inspection report. The neck joint of the rabbit doll was bitten by Golden Retriever, exposing the cotton wool inside. The forensic doctor was able to find a trace of blood inside the cotton wool. After testing, it was Shi Wei's blood.
Yao Zichen sat next to Yao Mulan, with a look of exhaustion and helplessness on her face, and a layer of tears in her eyes. Han Feilu suddenly came in and startled her, and she immediately shed tears.
Han Feilu sat down next to Gu Hai, took the notebook in Gu Hai's hand and looked at it. There was nothing written on it, which showed that Yao Mulan didn't say anything. He put down the notebook and looked at Yao Mulan. Yao Mulan was cold.
He lowered his eyes and twitched a barb on his finger.
Han Feilu pointed to the doll on the table: "Yao Mulan, where did this come from?"
Yao Mulan: "I don't know."
Han Feilu: "This is something I took out from your bedroom. How dare you say you don't know?"
Yao Mulan: "I made it very clear just now, that rabbit was picked up by Liangliang."
Han Feilu: "Speak clearly."
Yao Mulan: "Liangliang is my dog. I go downstairs to walk it every day. It likes to pick up some rags and bring them home. That rabbit was picked up by it."
Han Feilu: "When did you pick it up?"
Yao Mulan: "Forgot."
Han Feilu: "Let me remind you, it was May 2nd. You asked for leave that day and did not go to school. Why did you ask for leave?"
Yao Mulan: "I have a cold, can't I recuperate at home?"
Han Feilu: "Yes, of course. But I checked your family's consumption bill and found that 18,000 yuan was spent on April 29th, and the payee was Blue Sky Pet Hospital. Your golden retriever Liangliang was born on April 29th.
I had gastrointestinal surgery and stayed in the hospital for a few days after the surgery. I was discharged on May 4th. Your dog was not at home on May 2nd, so how could you walk it?"
Yao Mulan paused while tearing off the barbs, and said without changing her expression: "I remembered wrongly, it was not May 2, but around May 6. That evening I went downstairs to walk my dog, and Liangliang picked it up from the bushes.
Here comes the rabbit."
Han Feilu: "Where are the bushes?"
Yao Mulan: "The small square next to Block A."
Han Feilu smiled coldly: "After Shi Wei's accident, more than a dozen police officers inspected the scene. Are you saying that they were all blind and did not find a stuffed toy that fell in the bushes? Yao Mulan, you seem to imagine the police
That's too stupid. I have detailed survey records and photos of the scene that day, do you want me to take them out and confront you?"
Yao Mulan remained silent.
Han Feilu added: "And you seem to have forgotten that all the cameras in the community returned to normal operation on May 6. Three cameras were installed around the small square in Block A, which can be said to be all-round and without blind spots. We have adjusted the surveillance video
When it comes out, do I need to play it again in front of you?"
Yao Zichen became more and more panicked and grabbed Yao Mulan's hand anxiously: "Tell the truth quickly and don't lie."
Yao Mulan coldly pushed her hand away, then looked at Han Feilu and sneered: "Okay, I admit it."
Han Feilu: "Admit what?"
Yao Mulan: "I admit that I picked up this rabbit."
Han Feilu: "Explain."
Yao Mulan held her chin with one hand and raised the corners of her lips, as if recalling an interesting incident: "I saw it."
Han Feilu: "What did you see?"
Yao Mulan: "I saw that child fall off the swing."
Han Feilu: "...Is it Shi Wei?"
Yao Mulan: "Yes, I didn't know her name until later."
Han Feilu: "Where were you when Shi Wei fell from the swing?"
Yao Mulan: "I was sitting on a chair under a tree next to the square to enjoy the cool air. I saw her climbing on the swing, holding a branch with her hands to shake herself up, and she kept shaking..." Her eyes moved slightly, as if she was caught by the wind.
A leaf fell, "She failed to hold on to the swing and fell off."
Looking at her face, Han Feilu couldn't help but feel chilled: "Then what?"
Yao Mulan: "Her head hit the ground and made a loud sound, like a watermelon being smashed. She lay motionless on the ground, and the blood quickly flowed out, and the flow became more and more——"
Han Feilu: "You just watched and didn't do anything?"
Yao Mulan looked puzzled: "What do I need to do?"
Han Feilu: "You can call an ambulance for her, or call others for help."
Yao Mulan was even more puzzled: "But, what does it have to do with me?"
Han Feilu was angry: "So you just watched her die?"
Yao Mulan smiled and said: "I just don't want to meddle in other people's business. Is this wrong?"
It's very sad. She is right. She does not need to bear legal responsibility if she refuses to save her.
Han Feilu: "Why did you take away this doll?"
Yao Mulan thought seriously for a while, then shook her head: "I don't know, for me, it is a souvenir."
Han Feilu: "What souvenir?"
Yao Mulan smiled and said: "A souvenir to commemorate that child."
