"My dad left, but my mom didn't last for two years, so she also followed. My brother and sister-in-law felt that our mother and two were dead stars, so they cut off contact with us. It can be said that Pingping and I are really dependent on each other." Ma Hongmei paused. After a while, he said: "Although life has been hard, Pingping is a sensible and hard-working child. From elementary school to high school, her grades are top-notch in the school. That year, after Pingping's college entrance examination results, she said that she wanted to go to Huacheng University. I didn’t agree with the journalism department at first, and wanted her to study at Lancheng University, which is close to home, so I can take care of her. But she said that the journalism department of Huacheng University is among the best in the country, and she went there to study, and after graduation Looking for a job is also better than an ordinary university student. I hesitated for a long time, but for Pingping's future life, I agreed. If I had known what happened in the future, even if the store was closed, I would accompany her there. "
Ma Hongmei's voice was a little choked. Ling Huaan didn't know the facts, so she couldn't say anything. She just fumbled to find a tissue on the table and handed it to her, saying, "What happened after that?"
"Thank you." Ma Hongmei took out a tissue, wiped the corners of her eyes, and said, "At that time, I rented a store in the county town and sold some hand-made snacks. The business was good. Our mothers depended on it for all expenses, so I can't accompany her to Hwaseong. Pingping is very good. Every night at 6 o'clock, she will make a video call to me on time, tell me what happened to her in the day, chat with me, and let me know that she can do it alone. She took good care of herself. She also introduced me to her new classmates and her best friend."
"This friend is Lin Fanglu, right?"
"Yes. At that time, the relationship between Pingping and Lin Fanglu was really good, and they really regarded her as a good friend. In addition, Lin Fanglu's family conditions were excellent, and she usually took great care of Pingping. I was also very grateful to her. When school starts, I will ask her to bring more snacks to Lin Fanglu, and I almost treat her as another daughter."
Seeing Ma Hongmei stop, Ling Huaan asked aloud, "The relationship between them broke down in the second semester of their senior year. What's the reason?"
"Because of the graduation thesis." Ma Hongmei's tone was full of resentment, and said: "As graduation is approaching, Lin Fanglu has no time to write her graduation thesis because she is busy in love. Seeing that time is running out, she has not yet conceived, and Pingping But she had already finished writing it. She submitted Pingping's graduation thesis without saying a word. After submitting, she felt uneasy and told Pingping about it. Pingping was very angry, but she remembered her past affection and told Pingping about it. It was concealed. Fortunately, when Pingping wrote her graduation thesis, she wrote two different entry points, but it did not cause any consequences. It was just because of this incident that the relationship between the two broke up. "
"Then?"
"The two graduated successfully, Pingping chose to work, and Lin Fanglu chose to study, and the two completely cut off contact. After that, Pingping became an entertainment reporter in a media company. Although she was not happy, she wanted to make my life better. Well, she still does it for two years. One day after two years, Pingping called me and said that Hwaseong TV was recruiting journalists and she wanted to try it. I know that being a journalist has always been Pingping's She has a dream, so I support her very much. Pingping submitted a letter of resignation to the original company, and after half a month, she concentrated on preparing for the interview."
"These Jiang teams told me that because there were too many interviews at that time, Hwaseong TV station prepared a special program to record the selection process, and the person who finally won the championship would be eligible to join the TV station. And the popular candidates at that time were Ma Qiuping and Lin Fanglu, right?"
"Yes. Pingping said that there were hundreds of people who participated in the interview at the time. She and Lin Fanglu were top-notch. They had already decided to choose them from the two of them, but the deputy director of the TV station at that time deliberately made this recruitment a success for the sake of ratings. A brand new variety show. Calling those who were eliminated back to record the show and giving them a chance to show their faces in front of the public, in fact, they all know in their hearts that Pingping and Lin Fanglu are their default candidates."
"It is said that Lin Fanglu suddenly withdrew from the competition in the final. What happened?"
"Because of the graduation thesis, Lin Fanglu has a guilty conscience and is afraid of being exposed by Pingping, then her image will be finished, not to mention Huacheng TV, even those small TV stations will not use her, so she retired during the finals. game."
"Ma Qiuping won the competition and successfully joined Huacheng TV Station. She was supposed to be very popular at the time, and she should be reused by the TV station. Why did she resign after less than half a year?" Ling Huaan raised his doubts.
"After the show, under the deliberate packaging of the TV station, Pingping really became popular for a while, taking endorsements, shooting commercials, and even participating in various variety shows. Most of the occasions were banquets held by the rich, and I gradually understood some unspoken rules in this circle. Those bright and bright stars, in the eyes of the powerful and rich, are tricks that can be played at will. Ping Ping is a good girl with a clean body. She refuses to accept this kind of deal, and she also dislikes this kind of work atmosphere very much. After she made it clear that she would not accept it, her work gradually decreased, and even in just one month, she She lost her job, and the TV station picked up a new star again. At that time, Pingping knew that she had been given up. She told me all these things, and I affirmed her choice and persuaded her to resign, even if Going home and running a small shop with me is better than being wronged there."
"And then, what happened?"
"Later Pingping decided to resign, and said that she would go home in at most half a month, but..." Ma Hongmei's voice was a little choked, she took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "On January 24, 3014, that day I I remember clearly, I got up early to buy breakfast, and when I opened the door, I found a person sitting on the stairs at the door. I looked closely and it was Pingping. She raised her head and looked at me with tears in her eyes... The corners of her eyes and mouth were bruised, and both cheeks were bruised. There are obvious slap prints, and the whole face is swollen."
Ma Hongmei stopped again, choked up again, Ling Huaan didn't speak, she just waited quietly.
Ma Hongmei wiped her tears, and after a while, she continued: "I was terrified at the time, so I took her home and asked her what was going on, but she just cried, but didn't speak, I was so anxious, I cried with her. After a while, she stood up and said she was going to take a bath. When I saw her calm down, I put the water in for her to wash. As soon as she entered, she locked the door. I waited for a long time without seeing her come out. I panicked, took the key and opened the door, and found she was wearing clothes, squatting under the shower and crying. I rushed forward to turn off the shower and hugged her tightly, then I vaguely guessed that What happened. But when I saw Pingping's injuries, my whole body collapsed... My daughter, I grew up as a baby and raised my daughter, and was bullied like that..."
Ma Hongmei was emotionally broken and burst into tears. She still can't accept that her daughter will be treated like that.
Ling Huaan sighed, but didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only sit on the side quietly and listen to her express her resentment and grievances.
Ma Hongmei cried for a while before she slowly regained her composure. Ling Huaan asked at the right time, "Why didn't you call the police at that time?"
"I said at the time that I would call the police, but Pingping said no. They not only bullied Pingping, but also took a video and threatened her that if she dared to call the police, the video would be uploaded online."
"Then why did you choose to call the police a month later?"
"Ever since Pingping came home, her spirits have been getting worse day by day. She has been lying on the bed nervously every day, not going anywhere, and not letting anyone approach me except me. Later, it became more and more serious. I know that it has always been a problem. It was her heart disease, which had to be resolved if she wanted to be cured, so I went to report to the police. But at that time, Pingping's mind was no longer sober, and the police couldn't record her statement, and there was no evidence after a month, so she even filed a case. No case was filed."
"Did Ma Qiuping tell you who bullied her?"
"I said it. At that time, Pingping had already offered to resign, but Li Minghui said that she would be allowed to participate in the last activity. Pingping would rather pay the liquidated damages and refused. In the afternoon, Pingping received a call from Lin Fanglu, saying that she had something to tell her, Pingping didn't want to go, but thinking about leaving Huacheng soon, she decided to meet her, but who knew that this one would ruin her life."
"You mean that Lin Fanglu was involved?"
"Yes. If it wasn't for her wanting to rise to the top and curry favor with those scumbags, Pingping would not have been bullied, nor would she have left me so early. The most damning person is Lin Fanglu!"
"Who are those people?"
"Li Minghui, deputy director of the TV station, Wang Yang, vice president of DA luxury goods company C country branch, and Gao Yong, the son of the chairman of Guanghua Industrial, are the three scumbags who bullied Pingping." Ma Hongmei said gritted her teeth, and she could hear her feelings for these. Human resentment.
"Why did you want to avenge Ma Qiuping after seven years?"
"I'm a woman, and I have too many enemies. It's not easy to get revenge. I have to observe them, understand them, and kill them."
"The reason why you killed Lin Fanglu at the gate of the police station is to attract the police's attention and let them find you, so that the death of Ma Qiuping seven years ago will attract the police's attention, right?"
"Yes, I want revenge, and I want to let the events of the past come out, otherwise they will always be victims, and people will not understand the true colors of these scumbags."
"You did it when the criminal investigation team called out to the police just now. Who did you kill?"
"Mr. Ling, you are really smart! That's right, before I came to you, I dealt with Li Minghui with my own hands and sent their husband and wife to meet on Huangquan Road." Ma Hongmei's tone was very complicated, with some resentment towards the enemy, and some after revenge. Excited, and a little bit of fear she didn't even notice.
"Your revenge hasn't finished yet, but you don't hesitate to expose yourself and come to me. What's your purpose?"
"Mr. Ling, I want you to help me, no, it's to help Pingping."
"Let me help you?" Ling Huaan said with a wry smile: "Ma Hongmei, you think too highly of me. Seven years have passed since this case, when the Xuancheng police were powerless, what can I do as a blind man? , even if what you said is true, what can you do with those people?"
"I have evidence."
