Married for a long time

In mid-November, S City was like spring and autumn, not too cold, but the weather was still rainy and the temperature continued to drop to 14 degrees.

Due to physical reasons, Qiao Peiyu has been recuperating in Lianyun Villa during this period and has never stepped out of the Villa.

He didn't even have much energy to take care of the company's affairs, so he left them all to Jiang Jianlin.

Lianyun Villa is like his paradise. Although it is not carefree, it can isolate him from all news related to the outside world. He even turns off his mobile phone and locks it in the drawer of the study.

All contacts with the outside world are via the Villa's landline, and the butler is basically the one who comes forward for him.

After this year's ups and downs, the Qiao family's life has finally returned to its former peace.

But Yu Qingyuan would occasionally go to Su Li's room, sit on her bed, and touch the photos she had left behind.

The little girl in the photo is wearing a bachelor's uniform and holding two bouquets of flowers in her hands. One bouquet of stars includes a few sunflowers. This is a gift from her. She hopes that her gentle and reserved daughter can be like the stars in the sky from now on. Generally bright and dazzling, and born towards the sun.

There was also a bouquet of pink and white Roselle roses. In fact, she didn't know who sent them.

But after these things, she could guess that it was probably her son.

How could you not want to.

The girl I watched grow up, from the time she said timid 'Mom', she was my child.

Yu Qingyuan actually understood Su Li's departure. This child was too emotional, especially the family affection she had been missing since she was a child.

For a child whose childhood was not perfect and full of scars, the love given to her by the Qiao family was all redemption. It was the family love that she carefully held in the palm of her hand, cherished in her heart, and longed for for a long time.

Regardless of staying or leaving, Su Li is actually the saddest and most painful one.

Thinking of this, Yu Qingyuan couldn't help but blush. She put the photo frame in her hand back into the distance, and an unexpected phone ring suddenly rang.

It's a landline number with an area code added.

The place shown is Jingjun.

She thought it was a harassing call, so she hung up and walked out of the room.

It has been ten months since Su Li left. She has this room cleaned every week, and the layout has not changed.

When I was about to close the door, my phone rang again, and it was the same number as before.

She frowned, but picked up, "Hi."

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded like a middle-aged man's voice, "Are you Su Li's family member?"

When Yu Qingyuan heard the name, she was stunned. Suddenly, she wondered if it was a call from the hospital. Her heart was in her throat. She held the phone with both hands, "I...I am her mother, you are ?”

"This is the first-line criminal investigation police station in Huaxi City, Jing County. I am Zheng Yaowei, the leader of the criminal investigation team. Su Li is suspected of a criminal investigation case. I need your family members to come and understand the situation. The victim's family has called the police and has filed a case. We will follow up Prosecute her."

Yu Qingyuan was completely stunned.

In her impression, Su Li was gentle, soft and waxy. No matter how she thought about it, it was impossible to have anything to do with the criminal case.

Her voice trembled, "Is it... that I made a mistake? Ah Qi is so good, how could she..."

"If you make a mistake, I won't call you. Your family members should come to Jingjun as soon as possible. Su Li's current mental state... is not very good, and she has a lot of trouble figuring out the case. Influence."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Qingyuan shook her hands and wanted to call Lianyun Villa, but thinking about Qiao Peiyu's current physical condition, it was not suitable to be stimulated.

At least, she had to go there first to find out what was going on.

She called Qiao Yixing.

King County Police Department.

Su Li's hair was a little messy and his face was pale. He casually wrapped himself in a black down jacket and huddled in the corner of the detention room. The hand holding his legs was still covered with gauze. There was a scratch of about 10 centimeters on it, which had to be sewn several times. Needle.

It had been almost three or four days since she came in, and she voluntarily surrendered.

There was a policewoman accompanying her outside, fearing that she would do something to harm herself.

Zheng Yaowei came over and the policewoman shook her head at him, which meant that Su Li was in the same state as when she came in, trembling with fear. When he asked her why she hit Zhou Zimu's head with a vase, she just cried and spoke incoherently.

Zheng Yaowei walked to the door without opening the door and went in. He said through the iron fence, "I just contacted your family. They should come to Jingjun soon."

When Su Li mentioned her family, she was stunned for a moment and raised her eyes. Perhaps because she hadn't drank water or talked for a long time, her sweet voice was a little hoarse and became very soft.

"Family... Which of my family members did you... contact?"

"Your household registration information says that Qiao Yixing and Yu Qingyuan from City S are your adoptive mothers. The people I just contacted are..." "No, no, you can't contact them." Su Li suddenly rushed to the iron fence excitedly In front of him, with tears streaming down his face, he said, "I plead guilty, I plead guilty, I admit everything. I just hit him with the vase on purpose. There is no hidden reason, it's just... I just don't want him to pester me anymore. I feel annoyed, so... Please don't let them come, please, I don't want them to see..." I look like a ghost.

Zheng Yaowei has been a criminal police officer for 20 years. For criminal cases like this, you can get a rough guess by simply investigating the interpersonal relationships of the parties involved.

They also visited Su Li and Zhou Zimu's colleagues and friends in the past two days.

In addition, judging from the scene of the incident, Su Li may have been in self-defense or over-defense.

Zheng Yaowei didn't know why she became so emotional when she mentioned her adoptive parents. She just said, "Su Li, you are only 26 years old. You don't want to ruin your life because of this matter, do you? You put it If you tell us, we will investigate and verify that Zhou Zimu is not dead, but his brain was severely damaged and he is now comatose in the ICU. This case can only be regarded as intentional injury, not intentional homicide."

"But you have to understand that there are essential differences between intentional injury, intentional homicide, manslaughter, legitimate defense, and excessive defense."

This incident actually happened very suddenly, which Su Li did not expect.

After she broke up with Zhou Zimu, Zhou Zimu came to pester her several times, probably out of unwillingness.

Last week, he blocked her in the corridor and wanted to get back together. After being rejected by Su Li, he wanted to forcefully kiss her. Su Li was too scared, so she pushed him down the stairs with a little force.

But luckily the stairs were not high, and they only rolled up four or five steps. Su Li ran back into the house.

As for this time, she got off work at nine o'clock on Friday, and it was past ten o'clock when she came back from having a meal outside.

It was very cold in late autumn in Jing County. She didn't turn on the headlights when she got home, but only turned on a heating lamp. When she took off her coat and sweater to go to the bathroom to take a bath, Zhou Zimu suddenly hugged her from behind, scaring her. .

He wanted to get back together, but when he was rejected, he became angry and asked, "Then you sleep with me once, and I will agree to break up."

Su Li was so scared that when he wanted to kiss her and take off her skirt at the same time, she touched the vase in fear and despair and threw it at Zhou Zimu's head.

Zhou Zimu only paused for a moment before grabbing the vase in her hand. Soon, the vase was smashed. Zhou Zimu's eyes were red. The fragments in his hand accidentally scratched from her wrist to her arm, dripping with blood, and she didn't feel any pain.

Just because Zhou Zimu's intrusive actions didn't stop.

There was also a glass ashtray on the coffee table, which she bought for Zhou Zimu, but Zhou Zimu put the ashtray at her house.

What he said was that it would be more convenient for him to come to her house and smoke if he wanted to.

How could she care so much? As if she saw a savior when she saw the ashtray, she picked it up and hit Zhou Zimu on the head again and again.

After losing control of his emotions and reason, Zhou Zimu stopped his movements and fell on her body, his white gauze skirt stained red with blood.

Su Li cried uncontrollably, and the vase fell from her hands and broke into pieces. She pushed Zhou Zimu away from her body in fear, and quickly crawled to the end of the bed, looking at the pool of blood and the blood on her body and hands, and she was arrogant. cry.

He collapsed and shouted, "Why?! Why do you do this to me! I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I...I..."

He was questioning Zhou Zimu who was lying in a pool of blood, and he was also questioning his own fate.

Why is it so hard to start over?
Why don't you let her go?
Her mind went blank and she cried until she was deprived of oxygen. Panic and despair spread throughout her body. She did not dare to step forward to check Zhou Zimu's breathing. She took out her mobile phone from her bag with trembling hands, called 120, and choked out the address.

The silence in the room made it hard for her to breathe. She dialed 110 again, seeming to be desperate yet relieved, "I killed someone."

After being arrested and taken to the police station, her mental state was not very good. It was Zhou Zimu's parents who came to the police station to cause trouble.

That day, the police just finished interrogating her and were about to take her back to the detention room. However, they met Zhou Zimu's parents on the road, and they loudly called her a "bitch", "a beast born with parents but not taught by parents" and other unpleasant words.

Perhaps because he couldn't stand the silence with her lowered eyes, Zhou Zimu rushed up to her and slapped her twice, pointing at her and calling her a 'murderer'. She was in a daze for a moment, and the fear of that day climbed up her body again, and her instinctive reaction made her feel It should be defended.

She cried and shook her head, "No, it's not like that. I didn't mean it. It was him... he suddenly appeared in my house... suddenly..."

Zhou Zimu's mother thought she was trying to evade responsibility, so she grabbed her hair and tried to beat her again.

At that time, Su Li was in a trance with her hands cuffed, her eyes were empty, and her reaction was mechanical. She had no ability to resist and fight back. She had a soft temper and was not good at quarrels, so she only got beaten and scolded.

It was only the police's obstruction that prevented her from being further hurt.

In the past few days, Su Li has not explained the process, neither admitting guilt nor defending.

Just because the scene that day had so much impact on her, she didn't even dare to sleep, for fear of dreaming about the scene that day, so how could she dare to think about it.

She kept her eyes open and shed tears day and night, thinking that her unfortunate life would be better off as soon as possible.

She suddenly regretted surrendering and should have committed suicide.

If I had cut my wrist with a knife that day, or stabbed myself in the heart with a knife, it shouldn't have hurt that much.

In this way, she will not be afraid to sleep because she is afraid of nightmares, nor will she be unable to justify her helpless behavior because she is afraid to recall the scene that day.
