Chapter 23

Just let her come?
The township officials didn't believe it.They tried all kinds of methods but to no avail. Ran Feize followed Su Xiaopei's method before, but it still didn't work.Let her come now?There was a turmoil outside, if you don't release people quickly, I'm afraid it won't be easy to settle in the future.

The township official subconsciously looked at Ran Feize, who was also turning to look at him.That look made the town official somehow change his words to: "I'll take the girl there."

So the township official led the way, and Ran Feize accompanied Su Xiaopei to the outside of the house where Tang Lian was imprisoned.

Along the way, he also talked to Su Xiaopei about the current situation: "The place here is too small and there is nothing wrong with it, so there is no prison. Those who are guilty and serve their sentences need to be locked up in the county prison in Yingnan County. Tang Lian already knew Her relatives and neighbors were making a fuss outside, just now Inspector Liu quickly threatened her with this matter, saying that if she doesn't explain, how can she look up in front of her relatives." He thought about it, and it seemed that there was nothing missing.

At this time, everyone was standing still in front of the house, Ran Feize asked: "What else do you need to know?"

Su Xiaopei shook his head, but said, "I want to meet that salesman first."

The shopkeeper and Tang Lian were not in the same room, so the township official led Su Xiaopei to a small room on the other side.

Everyone stood still, Su Xiaopei nodded, and the township official stepped forward and opened the door.

Seeing that the door was open, the salesman looked over and saw Su Xiaopei standing at the door froze, but his surprised and flustered expression was quickly covered up, and he turned his head to the room, ignoring the door.

But Su Xiaopei had already seen his appearance and the expression on his face, she nodded again, turned around and walked towards Tang Lian's room without entering the room.

The township official was surprised, but he quickly locked the door and followed.

Su Xiaopei said to Ran Feize: "He recognizes me, he was terrified. He must be right."

The township official wondered, are you frightened?Why didn't he feel it.So he hurriedly said: "Girl, guessing is not enough, we still have to have real evidence."

Su Xiaopei nodded: "Miss Tang Lian is the witness."

After hearing this, the town official shook his head again and again, he really didn't have much confidence.

Everyone stood still in front of Tang Lian's gate again, Su Xiaopei suddenly said: "Please prepare some hot water and cups, sir."

The township officials didn't understand, so Su Xiaopei explained: "Give Miss Tang Lian some hot water to calm her down."

"Calm down? Isn't she so calm, the more she refuses to say anything?"

"No, the calmer she is, the more she can figure it out. Thank you, Mrs. Lao."

The township official looked at Ran Feize and agreed.Turn around and send someone to fetch hot water quickly.

After a while, the water was brought, Su Xiaopei took the tray, and then nodded to the village official.

The township official opened Tang Lian's door.

Tang Lian lowered her head and didn't look at the door when she heard the movement. She sat by a broken table and stared at the table in a daze.

Su Xiaopei walked over and put the tray on her desk.

Tang Lian looked at the kettle and the cup, frowned, and slowly looked up. Then, her eyes widened, she couldn't believe it: "You..."

"Did he tell you that I was dead?" Su Xiaopei smiled. In fact, she was also a little nervous, but she hid it well.

Tang Lian stared at her, but she still couldn't get out of the shock.

Su Xiaopei laughed again: "The complexity of your expressions now can be put into textbooks."

"What?" Tang Lian finally came to her senses, it was Su Xiaopei who spoke so strangely that people could not understand.

Su Xiaopei didn't reply, she and Tang Lian looked at me and I looked at you, and no one moved for a while.

The township official watched anxiously and wanted to go in, but was held back by Ran Fize.The township official looked at him, Ran Feize shook his head lightly at him, the township official sighed, and finally did not move.

At this moment, Su Xiaopei moved.She went to the door and closed it.

The township official's face changed, he didn't intend to let these two people be alone.Ran Feize patted him lightly, stopping his shouting.When the door panel was about to touch the door frame, he stretched out his arm to block it lightly, preventing the door from closing tightly.

Su Xiaopei just needed an independent space to talk. Of course, she knew that the township official was worried, and she also understood what Ran Feize meant by blocking the door. The door was left open, and everyone took a step back.

So the door was closed like this, Su Xiaopei turned back to the table, sat down, and sat opposite Tang Lian.

Tang Lian kept staring at her. Su Xiaopei poured her a glass of water and said, "Drink a glass of water first, and calm down. I fell into the water yesterday. Later, strong man Ran went up the mountain and rescued me again."

Tang Lian opened her mouth and closed it again.

The man obviously told her that after Su Xiaopei fell into the water, he stared at her for a long time, and he had no choice but to leave when she sank and never got up again.

But she can't say these things, she can't miss a single word, maybe even if Su Xiaopei wants to trick her like this, it may not be true.

Tang Lian drank a cup of hot water, and she felt more at ease in her heart.Su Xiaopei remained silent for a long time, but she lost her composure, so she said first: "Did they ask me instead of you? But I don't know anything. I really can't remember the things about being robbed up the mountain before." .I don’t know what that bandit looks like. It’s my fault today. I just saw a peddler coming over and wanted to buy some gadgets. It’s my fault. Hua'er. But I really don't know the peddler, and it's the first time I've seen him. No matter who asks, how many times, the fact is like this, and I can only answer like this."

"Don't worry." Su Xiaopei said, "I'm not here to ask you these things. I'm here to tell you a story."

"tell a story?"

Tang Lian in the room and the town officials outside were surprised, and even Ran Feize couldn't help but frowned.

"Yes, let me tell a story. So don't worry, don't be afraid, drink another glass of water and listen to me slowly." Su Xiaopei's tone was steady and gentle, Tang Lian subconsciously followed, and she drank another A cup of water.

"This story is like this." Su Xiaopei saw that Tang Lian looked at her after drinking the water, listening intently, so she continued. "In a place far, far away, there is a city with a strange name, Stockholm."

The name of the city is really strange, Tang Lian frowned, not knowing what Su Xiaopei wanted to say.

"One day, two vicious thieves planned to rob the biggest bank in the city, but their plan failed. The police quickly rushed over and surrounded them. So the two thieves hijacked the bank in the bank. The four clerks, I mean, the four guys. They took the four guys hostage and got into a stalemate with the detectives. The guys were terrified, but they couldn't get away. They were stuck in the hands of the thieves. Six days. These six days are very long, and the arresters surrounded the bank layer by layer, determined to rescue the guys and catch the thieves."

Tang Lian lowered her head and stared at the cup in her hand.

"The two thieves took hostages and were trapped in the bank for six days. They had no way out. Finally, the policemen finally broke in and captured them all. The four men were all safe and sound."

Su Xiaopei paused while talking, but Tang Lian didn't raise her head, she just said: "That's really happy for everyone."

Su Xiaopei nodded and continued: "The main point I want to say has just begun. After this incident, the government planned to interrogate the two thieves and sentence them to death, but no one expected that it had been several months However, the four kidnapped guys still had sympathy and pity for the two thieves. They refused to help the government identify the two thieves, and even raised money for them, trying to help them get rid of the crime. They said they didn't hate The two thieves even said that the thieves did not harm them and took good care of them, and they were very grateful. They in turn hated the police who rescued them, and hated the government that brought the thieves to justice. The most bizarre thing is, One of the four men fell in love with one of the thieves and wanted to marry him."

Tang Lian's face changed when she heard this, she raised her head suddenly, gritted her teeth and interrupted Su Xiaopei: "What does this have to do with me? Girl, because I was robbed, and because I talked to a salesman today, you just make up Is this story intended to be a crime?"

"I didn't make this up, it's a real thing." Su Xiaopei continued unhurriedly, "Everyone thinks this is too strange, how is it possible, the abducted person was obviously hurt, how could he fall in love with What about the people who harmed them? So some learned people wanted to explore the reason, and later they found that this is a very normal manifestation of human nature and emotion."

Su Xiaopei covered his heart with his hands, and strengthened his tone: "This is beyond my control, and it happened naturally. This kind of psychological reaction was later called Stockholm Syndrome, also called hostage complex."

Tang Lian opened her mouth wide and her eyes widened, unable to speak.

"Miss Tang, I know what happened to you, I fully understand."

Tang Lian stared and began to shake her head.

"He hijacked you to the mountain, and you were locked in a dark place, where you were told not to respond every day, and the earth was not working. No one could save you. He killed small animals in front of you, and he Let you know that he can also take your life at any time. You know what happened to the girl he kidnapped before, and you are very scared, very scared. But he didn't kill you after all, he gave you food and smiled at you He hit you, raped you, but he also told you that he didn't want to hit you, didn't want to hurt you, and he wanted you to be obedient. So you were obedient, and he really stopped beating you, and you thought it was a gift. He accompanied you Talking, bringing you food, you start to think, in fact, he is really good."

Tang Lian was stunned, tears filled her eyes: "You, how do you...know...."

"In those days, there was only him in your life, and you found that you were no longer afraid of him, and you even missed him after he left you. You hoped that he would come back soon, because you were afraid of being alone. If he Now, on the contrary, you will feel more at ease. After such a long time, no one came to rescue you, and you also feel that you can’t go home, so it’s good to stay there, isn’t it? Even, there is no father to call you , you don’t have to be afraid that he will let you marry to fill a house in an outer city, right?”

Tang Lian bit her lips, struggling especially: "You, you don't have to make up guesses based on what I talked to you."

"Miss Tang, what I want to tell you is that these feelings, these thoughts, your timidity, your obedience, these are not your fault. I know how desperate you were at that time, I really do. People like that In a desperate situation, there will be an instinct for survival and self-comfort. As long as he shows you a little favor, you will immediately accept it. You don’t even notice it yourself. You ignore his cruelty and evil deeds and magnify his favor for you. Well, this is your own encouragement to yourself, you have to live."

Tang Lian's tears finally fell down: "He is a good man, he is not as bad as you imagined."

"You survived, you fell in love with him, there is nothing wrong with you, it's just that your heart is sick."
