Thirteen prisons

Chapter 26 Genetics
Yan Yi stopped here, picked up the teacup and drank slowly.

Lao Hu glanced at him, and couldn't help asking: "This Li Aihua, just disappeared?"

Yan Yi nodded slowly: "It did disappear, because since then, no one has seen her again, and..."

After saying this, he looked at Zhou Yuan with a complicated expression: "The key lies next to the corpse with the heaviest blood. We found a strange thing on the floor."

Zhou Yuan's heart rose, and he heard Yan Yi say word by word: "It's a black mark, as if it had been burned."

Zhou Yuan was still thinking about the scene in this story. After hearing this sentence, the first reaction in his mind was an irrelevant thought: This old man is really powerful.It was almost the same thing, but I was almost scared to collapse at the scene.

At the same time, Zhou Yuan felt a sense of relief in his heart. At this point in the story, at least he finally understood what it had to do with his strange illness.So I asked the question in my heart: "Spontaneous combustion?"

Lu Ming also understood, he was more calm and rational, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "Who are Lin He's parents?"

Yan Yi showed a wry smile: "Lin Jing and Lin He's mother is Li Hongxia, Li Aihua's younger sister."

Zhou Yuanxin said that it was no wonder, as expected, there was a reason for what happened, and the root cause of Lin Jing and Lin He's illness turned out to be here.It seems that the disease is likely to be genetic.But Li Aihua didn't spontaneously combust like Lin He, and how to explain so much blood left where she disappeared?But before the story was finished, he resisted the urge to ask questions and continued to listen.

After escaping from the small building, Yan Yi and Li Hongxia were temporarily out of crisis.But Yan Yi found that he was immediately faced with another difficult problem: how to deal with this matter?
After all, so many people died, and it ended in that weird way.Both he and Li Hongxia were terrified, so he dealt with it simply, that is, to avoid this problem and find a secluded place to hide.This is not difficult. It is easy for the two of them to hide in the vast factory area, and to survive in the mountains, food is not a big problem.

But that nightmarish scene full of blood would appear in their dreams almost every day.Worse, as the days go by, they have to formalize the issue, how to explain to others what happened?Although there is no social order now, Yan Yi intuitively judges that this kind of life will not last long.

[-] was the climax of the fighting, but it was also because it developed so exaggeratedly and cruelly that no one could bear it, so a few months later, when the policy changed, the nationwide fighting quickly It calmed down quickly.

Then there is a large-scale inventory.Yesterday, the high-spirited rebel leader may become a murderer today. This kind of counter-offensive counts, and everyone is in danger.Yan Yi and Li Hongxia were locked up and examined for two consecutive weeks, because their previous behavior could barely be regarded as "carefree", and they did not do any extreme behavior, and there was nothing wrong with them.

But the key is that night in Xiaolou.

The guns in the hands of the "Jinggangshan" people were snatched by them storming the camp of the garrison troops.Snatching guns, no matter in any era, is an extremely serious and vicious case. This incident aroused great repercussions at the time, and a special task force was assigned to interrogate it. If the explanation is not clear, the problem will become very serious.

During the period of hiding, Yan Yi has been thinking about this question.In the face of this real crisis, Li Aihua's strange disappearance was not so important. In the end, he could only think of a helpless solution: denying the presence of the two of them, insisting that it had nothing to do with this incident.

As to whether it would be useful to do so, he actually had no idea at all, because to put it bluntly, it was nothing more than denying it to death.Because there is really no way to cover up the traces of the scene, and Li Hongxia and Li Aihua are sisters, and most of the people in the special case team were knocked down during the fighting. They may be credulous, and they may be judged severely on the grounds of "resisting strictness".

But Yan Yi knew that even if he admitted that he was there, he still couldn't explain what happened later, so he gritted his teeth and insisted that he hid in another place that day.This was also discussed with Li Hongxia. Originally, Yan Yi wanted to say that the two of them went to another place together that day, but Li Hongxia raised an objection. At that time and situation, two people suddenly disappeared and appeared in the same place at the same time. questionable.Yan Yi understood what she meant, the two young men and women hid on the eve of the fighting, they could only be in love.It seems that this is not a problem at all, but under the main theme of class struggle at that time, the consequences of this kind of thing are very serious.

From the perspective of the task force, the most important thing is not to conduct a detailed investigation of the specific process of the whole incident, but how to characterize it. The "Jinggangshan" rebels are undoubtedly the culprit. After all, they have done more evil deeds, including snatching guns from the base garrison company!And even at the climax of the fighting, such a thing is still impossible to be tolerated.

This is a good thing for Yan Yi, because in the eyes of the task force, Yan Yi is just an insignificant person involved.Two weeks later, the case quickly came to an end. Seven of the remaining members of the "Jinggangshan" were shot, and the rest were given heavy sentences.Yan Yi was only in a labor camp for one year, and this result was completely beyond his expectations, and it was better than the luckiest situation he had expected before.But another item in the verdict surprised him: Li Hongxia was sentenced to three years in prison.

After the clever Yan Yi thought about it, he immediately understood what was going on: Li Hongxia didn't need to confess as they agreed before, after all, everyone knew that she and Li Aihua were sisters, and they had a very good relationship , always inseparable.With little chance of fully extricating herself from the affair, she simply admitted her involvement.Compared with Yan Yi's punishment, the result was much lighter, and it must be Li Hongxia who was trying to shirk it for him.

The case was finally determined to be a fight between the rebels, which means that Li Aihua and other dead accomplices were still criminals after death.This made Yan Yi very disappointed, but he was powerless to change all this.The only thing that made him feel at ease was that no one cared about that strange death and Li Aihua's "disappearance".

Disappearance and death, at that time, were synonymous.

When Yan Yi said this, he stopped, his face turned pale.Zhou Yuan could see that he was deep in memory, so he didn't ask any more questions, until he took a deep breath, and then continued: "After this incident, I have always felt guilty in my heart. And the subsequent incidents made me feel even more guilty. A lifetime of uneasy conscience."

After the verdict was pronounced, Yan Yi was depressed for a long time.After he was released from the labor camp, he also thought about going to the prison to see Li Hongxia, but the panic in his heart was greater than his guilt. He was afraid that someone would discover his lies and become a prisoner again. Every day he worried that his home would suddenly break into a stranger. people.At the same time, he also held an attitude of reverence for Li Aihua's disappearance in his heart.

Yan Yi has witnessed everything and knows the secret, but he doesn't understand why it happened. His doubts are getting bigger and bigger, and finally even bigger than his panic, so he finally starts to try to find the truth.However, given his age at the time, it was naturally impossible to find out anything. The warehouse where the accident happened was sealed up by the local government.He also sneaked into that warehouse to investigate, but after entering, he found that all the traces of that time were gone.

This result was actually predictable, but he was still very frustrated.It was only after two years that he accidentally learned that Li Hongxia had been released early, but she chose to leave her hometown instead of looking for Yan Yi after she came out.He had searched everywhere for her whereabouts, but to no avail, Li Hongxia seemed to have disappeared.

"Maybe, she is hiding from me on purpose." Yan Yi said with a wry smile.

Zhou Yuan and the others did not answer the call.Whether there is love between Yan Yi and Li Hongxia, most of them can't even tell. In the chaotic age, human nature is complex and sensitive, and love is naturally more ethereal and illusory at that time.

A few more years later, the fortunes of the country began to change, the Gang of Four fell and the movement ended.Everything is waiting to be done. For Yan Yi, the biggest turning point is the restoration of the college entrance examination system.

"Later, I studied hard and passed the medical major of Peking University." Yan Yi said, wiping his face, "Later, as the country's first batch of exchange students, I went to the United States."

"You have reached the sky in one step. Old gentleman." Zhou Yuan praised sincerely. Although Yan Yi just said it in one sentence, Zhou Yuan knew how difficult it was.

"From an economic point of view, it can be said that." Yan Yi's face suddenly had a certain brilliance, obviously that experience was a kind of pride for him.

"Excuse me, Mr. Yan, what medical major did you apply for at first?" Lu Ming asked suddenly.

"Applied Psychology."

Lu Ming asked: "Do you want to learn this to prove that you have no mental problems? I know that in those days, some young people were psychologically devastated, and there were many people who were psychologically distorted or abnormal. A relative in my hometown was one of them. Has an extreme hatred for life, so he's in a mental hospital now."

This question was a bit too sharp, but Yan Yi smiled, and seemed not uncomfortable with this question, but said frankly: "You are right, I really thought so at the time. But through later study and life experience After getting rich, I'm sure it wasn't my fantasy."

The next time soon came to the 90s. Yan Yi had already achieved success in his studies and started working in a large hospital in the United States. It was the golden stage of his life. It is not an exaggeration to say that he gained both fame and fortune. At this time, the domestic situation began to loosen. , like most people, he also has plans to return to China.

When Li Aihua disappeared back then, he felt more and more at a loss. The strange scene of her disappearance was deeply imprinted in his memory, becoming an indelible trace.He also tried to use modern medicine to explain the situation, but there is too little information and no real evidence, so everything is still at the stage of suspicion.

This confused him for a while.And more than half of the reasons why he returned to China also came from this.Of course, his greatest wish is to find Li Hongxia from back then. After all, he still has a lot of guilt for this girl.For him, if she was still alive, he hoped that he could make some amends to her.At this time, his ability is naturally not the same as before going abroad, so this search will soon bear fruit.

Unfortunately, the result was not what he expected, because Li Hongxia was already dead.

"How did she die?" Zhou Yuan was a little surprised, because Li Hongxia was at most 40 years old at that time.
"It's kidney failure, and the root cause of the disease was in prison." Yan Yi sighed softly, "It's all my fault. If I had found her earlier, maybe it wouldn't have been like this."

Zhou Yuan knew that this was Yan Yi's guilt towards Li Hongxia, so he couldn't help but feel a little bit sorry for the teasing of fate.Yan Yi changed her fate because of her own efforts, but for Li Hongxia, she didn't even have the chance to change her fate with her own efforts like Yan Yi. In that era, the identity of a prisoner had completely blocked her way up.

For Li Hongxia's death, Yan Yi was naturally extremely guilty, so he transferred this guilt to the two children left behind by Li Hongxia, namely Lin He and Lin Jing.He decided to help the two children and let them go abroad to receive a better education and environment.

In terms of ability, it was not difficult. Money showed its power at this time. Although there were some twists and turns in the process, the result was as he wished. He persuaded the father of the two to transfer the custody of the two children to him, but Just when he was almost done with all the formalities, Lin He disappeared.
