Chapter 38

A large amount of gold jewelry was found in the closet of Yao Xin's bedroom, and a key to a nail salon was also found, corresponding to the confession.

Uncleaned blood stains were found in the corners of the bathroom and on the door handle, and the bone-chopping knife in the kitchen was also put into the evidence bag.

The boy's body found at the bottom of the freezer did have impact injuries.

Several hip-hugging dresses worn by Yao Xin during the live broadcast were also rummaged through the closet and the elastic cord that strangled Feng Yaozhong was still tied to the back seat of the electric car.

During a new round of questioning of the cleaning staff at the Holiday Inn, it was learned that one of the cleaning staff had picked up a pair of sneakers on the B2 floor of the basement.After the cleaning staff took them out from under the dormitory bed, they could see the word "Hui Li" written on the inner insole of the off-white sneakers.

On Yao Xin's JD.com shopping platform, he found the purchase record of that mobile phone, and the date was correct.

Everything finally settled, but Zhuge Yang felt like there was a ball of cotton stuck in his heart, unable to get up or down.

When he came to the track where his master died, he ran wildly in an attempt to dispel the unhappiness in his heart.But in the end, I was sweating profusely and panting, and I still felt suffocated.

Holding one hand on his slightly uneven waist, he looked at the pile of rubble under the embankment from a distance.On the pile of rocks, a group of broken fishing nets looked like moss growing from the cracks in the rocks.

He understood that Yao Xin did not lie.The master's unexpected death had nothing to do with her.She was the one who saw the master for the last time.

But when the master pinched the blue thread, did he guess that the person wearing men's clothing and flower pot-soled shoes running away in panic might be related to the murderer?

The master who worked day and night had a brain attack on the morning when he met Yao Xin.There is no direct connection, but there is also an indirect relationship.

Zhuge Yang walked to the side of the road and sat on the pavement tiles.

He thought that Yao Xin's life trajectory had deviated from the moment he gave up going to college.Yao Xin is too resigned, and such a person seems destined not to become a policeman.

But when she should have resisted, she cowardly chose to endure, and suddenly her toughness led to violent murder.

Two extremes, happening to the same person.

Perhaps it was precisely because of the accumulation of forbearance that her state of mind was distorted and qualitatively changed.

She held back, saying it was for the sake of her children.She killed people, even poisoned children, saying it was for the sake of the children.But she didn't admit that saying "for the sake of the children" was just an excuse for her cowardly and selfish self.

So much so that when he stopped her from killing someone, she blamed him, saying that people like Zhou Shunfang shouldn't be alive.

All living beings are equal, and everyone has the right to live. Even if the crime is extremely heinous, she should not be judged or decided from the perspective of God.

Zhuge Yang slowly stood up and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

It was time to visit his aunt.

In the ward filled with the smell of disinfectant, there were patients lying on the three beds.On the bed near the window, Zhou Shunfang's small figure was huddled under the quilt.In a slightly hoarse voice, she whispered to Zhuge Li who was sitting beside the bed, "I want to drink water."

The 16-year-old Zhuge Li had two faint downy beards protruding from under his nose. He arched his mouth and did not move.

Zhou Shunfang wrapped several circles of gauze around her head, muttered something, and wanted to sit up and reach for the thermos cup on the bedside table.

At this time, the old man lying on the hospital bed near the door asked: "Who are you looking for?"

Zhou Shunfang subconsciously turned around to look. After seeing clearly that the person standing at the door was Zhuge Yang, she quickly got back into the quilt and covered half of her face.

Zhuge Li, who was sitting by the bed, was overjoyed. He put the mobile phone he was playing with into his loose overalls, jumped to the door and called out "Brother".

Before Zhuge Yang could say anything, he had already dragged him to the end of the corridor.

Zhuge Li's eyes were shining, and there was unconcealable excitement in his tone. "Brother, I heard from Sister Xiaojiang that my mother is being targeted by the anti-abuse organization. What happened this time scared my mother. You can take the opportunity to scare her again."

Zhuge Yang was half a head taller than this cousin, and his facial expression was completely opposite to his counterpart's.Staring at his cousin's gleaming eyes with a cold face, he asked word for word: "The wind of freedom is you." Although he was asking him, his tone was categorical and affirmative.Zhuge Li's single eyelid flashed, he took a step back, and stammered with guilt: "What does this have to do with me?"

Zhuge Yang didn't say anything, just looked at his cousin coldly.The pressure of years of interrogation instantly surrounded the young man in front of him.

Although Zhuge Li tilted his head to avoid looking at him, his hand in his trouser pocket nervously grasped the phone, loosened it, and then clenched it again.After several rounds, he was finally defeated.

At the moment when he was about to speak, Zhuge Yang said first, "Why didn't you come to me?"

Zhuge Li swallowed hard what he was about to say.He turned his head to see the nurse pushing the old man in the wheelchair into the elevator, and then replied dully: "On grandma's birthday, I heard what you and uncle said."

This sentence was meaningless, but it dragged Zhuge Yang to April 4th.

He was busy with the case and forgot about his grandma's birthday.His mother called him and said that his grandma was choking on eggs and asked him to go back.

When I arrived at my uncle's house, I discovered that it was my grandma's birthday.Grandma did choke on an egg this morning and is fine now.Seeing him, grandma took his hand and asked him if he was tired.

Grandma was so skinny that when she held his hand, he could clearly feel the structure and gaps of every finger bone.

Without saying a few words, grandma fell into a chaotic sleep.Amidst the even breathing, there was a hum coming from the chest and vibrating in the throat.

Outside the door where I was lying on my side, I could hear the sound of my aunt chopping pork stuffing.

"Mom, let's take grandma back to live for a while. I know you don't have time to take care of grandma. You can hire a nurse to take care of her at home. I will pay for it."

Mom shook her head gently and pulled the corner of the quilt. "I have mentioned this to your grandma a long time ago, but she disagrees. She said that all the things back then were given to your brother-in-law's house. No matter how good or bad she is, she will live here for her old age. You can't tolerate your grandma's temper. You know, I have been stubborn all my life.”

Zhuge Yang was anxious for a while and failed to control the volume: "You can't listen to grandma, I saw it last time." At this point, he realized that his voice was too loud, so he lowered his voice, leaned over and continued: "I saw it last time. Auntie beat and scolded grandma because of a blanket, but grandma didn't say a word. This is definitely not an accident. There must have been something more extreme when we didn't see it."

After he said this, he noticed that his parents sitting across the bed had something wrong with their expressions.They seem to have known about their aunt's behavior for a long time, and may have bumped into her before.

Then why choose to turn a blind eye and remain silent?
He looked at his father who pursed his lips tightly. "Dad, you know, why don't you care?"

The usually silent father rubbed his knees with his hands, but looked back at him sternly, telling him that this was a matter for his generation and asked him not to ask any more questions.

He stood up quickly, feeling anger rising to the top of his head. "I'm a police officer."

But my father said that it is difficult for an upright official to handle household affairs, even if it is the police.If they don't pursue the case, the police can't do anything about it.Zhuge Yang was so angry that he wanted to kick the chair next to him away.

Finally, his mother comforted him in a low voice, sat down, and told him more secrets.

At that time, my uncle was born prematurely, was weak, and suffered from many illnesses.Grandma felt sorry for her little son, so she naturally showed more care and love to her uncle.When my uncle was about to get married, he used his savings over the years to buy a building for his uncle.

After my uncle got married, he made a fuss about living with the newlyweds.

In this way, all grandma's things were moved into the building.Later, as I got older and weaker, not only could I not help my aunt take care of the children, but I also needed her to take care of them.Grandma felt uneasy, so she handed over her pension and let her aunt draw the money every month.

Grandma once grabbed my mother's hand and told her, I'm sorry, everyone, I'm partial.Grandma also said that she wanted to stay by her uncle's side and see him every day.

So, his mother shook her head at him and told him to leave it alone.

He can not interfere with grandma's choice, but he cannot ignore his aunt's abuse of grandma.

But what did my mother say? My mother said: "What can you do to your aunt? Arrest her and lock her up for how many days? When she comes back, all the grievances will be directed at your grandma. There is no filial son in bed for a long time, and your aunt serves you like this After many years, it is inevitable that my heart will be unbalanced. If those of us who have never served before continue to criticize her, think about it, can she accept it?"

After Zhuge Yang heard this, he could only become angry and stop talking.

He didn't know that at that time, Zhuge Li was at the door and listened to everything he had to say.
