Open the door.
Zhou Ze and Bai Yingying walked out together.
Outside,
The sky has brightened, it should be the next morning.
The clothes on my body were still torn in the right places, and even the nail on my little finger was still bleeding.
The shadow in the book once said that in this world, not everything is true or false;
Now, Zhou Ze experienced this feeling. After all, if it was fake, if it was exactly the same as the illusion he had experienced before, then when he came out, there would be no injuries on his body, not even the slightest trace.
Bai Yingying grabbed her boss's hand, blew carefully on the wound on the nail, and comforted him:
"Boss, it doesn't hurt, huhu, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt."
"It's okay, it will grow back."
Zhou Ze looked at his other hand, which previously held a pen, but when he walked out, the pen was gone.
Shadow said it was fake because the work was not finished and was abandoned;
So a fake pen is left here, but the real pen is not here.
So,
Where is the real pen
Is it the judge's pen
Zhou Ze thought of the female writer who committed suicide by taking poison with her children. She was the one who wrote the story, and she was the one who couldn't stand it in the end. She was already dead. Would the pen be treated as her relic? Or was it collected
After I go back and take a shower, I will ask the Taoist priest and the little loli to investigate this matter. The pen is indeed scary, but it would be even scarier if it were left lost outside.
Perhaps, a similar tragedy will occur in the second act.
Open the door of the entrance hall.
Zhou Ze saw Zhang Yanfeng's car parked outside. Officer Zhang was leaning against the car door smoking a cigarette. When he saw the door open, Officer Zhang immediately came over, looked at Zhou Ze's miserable appearance, and said:
"I couldn't get through to you on the phone. I wanted to go in, but now I think I'd better wait for you to come out."
"It's a good thing you didn't come in."
Zhou Ze was somewhat thankful. If Officer Zhang had gone in before, he would probably have gone into the book as well. By then, Zhou Ze and Bai Yingying, who had already come out, didn't want to go into that story again.
After getting in the car, Zhang Yanfeng actually prepared breakfast for us.
"Is the matter resolved?"
"What do you want to know?" Zhou Ze asked.
"I just want to know whether it was man-made or due to some other reason. Did my sister really commit suicide?"
"It wasn't man-made. Your sister must have really committed suicide." Zhou Ze replied.
"Has that thing been solved?"
"I'll take care of it. By the way, how did you deal with your sister's belongings?"
"My family received some of it, and my brother-in-law's family also received some of it."
"Give me the contact address of your brother-in-law's family. I'll ask someone to check it out."
"good."
"Okay, that's it. Yingying and I will take a taxi back and won't disturb you from work. As for this villa, you'd better not go in without permission. Do you understand?"
Although this story is over,
If the old Taoist priest had not pasted the talisman paper when he was in the toilet,
There won’t be so many subsequent events.
But to be on the safe side, it is better not to come to this villa for the time being. Even Zhou Ze has decided not to live in it again before finding the pen. If he encounters something that triggers something again, it would be really unbearable to go there again.
After getting out of the car and waving to Officer Zhang's car, Zhou Ze watched Officer Zhang's car disappear from his sight. Suddenly, he thought of a question and fell into deep thought.
"Boss, what's the matter?"
"I wonder if that person is still in my body."
Zhou Ze thought of the mirror.
And the one in the mirror,
In the story, he is separated from him.
Now that I have come out,
So,
What about him
If he were gone, I would feel more relaxed physically and mentally, and wouldn't have to worry about being replaced one day.
But why do I feel a little uneasy
Especially this time, I was not able to use my invincibility in the story, which made me feel really uncomfortable.
At this time,
Boss Zhou feels that he is a bit too lazy.
Just like those older girls who want to hook up with rich men but are shy and say it’s their first time and it hurts.
But it seems that if we can find that pen, does it mean there is a way to suppress him
The days when you can cheat without any worries,
It’s beautiful just thinking about it.
Yingying walked in front of Zhou Ze.
Reaching out and tapping Zhou Ze's chest gently,
Zhou Ze was a little confused.
"Hey, are you still in there?"
Yingying shouted at Zhou Ze’s chest.
“… …” Zhou Ze.
Like I can't hear it.
Yingying took the initiative to put her ear on Zhou Ze's chest.
This action,
It's like a girl throwing herself into your arms.
He reached out and tapped Zhou Ze's chest gently.
"Please reply if you hear me."
Zhou Ze smiled.
One hand naturally hugged the girl in front of him.
Yingying was also stunned for a moment.
He stuck out his tongue.
Pretend you know nothing.
… …
Zhang Yanfeng did not return to the bureau, but drove directly to Tongcheng Prison in Guanyin Mountain. He had made an appointment to visit the prison yesterday.
Originally, he wanted to find his brother-in-law to inquire about the situation according to Zhou Ze's needs. Since Zhou Ze said that his sister did commit suicide and the incident was indeed not man-made, the original visit turned into a condolence.
Zhang Yanfeng's heart was very complicated.
He originally felt that his brother-in-law was wronged.
Now it has been confirmed by Zhou Ze.
My brother-in-law is so pitiful. His wife and children are dead, but I was mistakenly identified as the abuser and thrown into prison.
As for how to exonerate the brother-in-law and give him freedom, it is difficult, really difficult. Could he let Zhang Yanfeng take the initiative to tell the judge that it was not his brother-in-law who committed the violence, but a ghost
Sitting outside the glass partition,
My brother-in-law, dressed in prison clothes, walked in accompanied by guards.
My brother-in-law is tall and thin. After several years in prison, he has become even thinner, but his overall mental state seems to be fine and he doesn't seem to have given up on himself.
"Brother-in-law."
Pick up the phone and start communicating.
"How are you doing lately?"
"I'm fine."
Zhang Yanfeng nodded and consoled him: "Don't give up hope in life, ever."
Officer Zhang is always so stiff when comforting people, and it was the same when he was "comforting" Zhou Ze in the detention center. But it is precisely this stiffness that makes it easy for people to feel the sincerity in it.
The brother-in-law nodded and even smiled at Zhang Yanfeng.
"Brother-in-law, I know.
The circle is gone.
My two children are gone too.
But I always feel that they are still by my side, accompanying me and watching over me.
I plan to travel after I am released from prison, taking their photos with me and going around to see the world. In the past, I was busy with factory work and had little time to spend with them.
When I get out, I will take them on a family trip."
Zhang Yanfeng let out a long sigh and said, "I'll pick you up when you're released from prison."
"Okay, brother-in-law."
The two men were silent for a long time.
There is not much time for visiting prisoners, and Zhang Yanfeng is not here to interrogate the prisoner.
At last, when time was almost up,
The brother-in-law said with some disappointment: "Brother-in-law, thank you for still believing in me."
Zhang Yanfeng was speechless for a moment.
In the final analysis,
He was sorry for him.
As a police officer, there is no way to clear someone's name.
"It's time, Officer Zhang." An accompanying prison director came over and reminded.
"Okay, thank you."
Zhang Yanfeng nodded and watched his brother-in-law being taken away from the visiting room.
Of course it is impossible for an ordinary person to be accompanied by a leader when visiting a prisoner, but this director and Zhang Yanfeng have indeed been friends for a long time. They met because of work, and later they had similar personalities and occasionally got together for a drink or something.
The two walked out side by side, chatting casually.
"Old Zhang, do you really believe that he was wronged?"
Zhang Yanfeng nodded.
"Forget it. This is your family affair. I won't say much. In fact, I also think he may have been wrongly accused. His attitude and behavior in prison are very good. He has set a good example. He has been successfully commuted several times. I estimate that he will be released in another year."
There is a honor roll next to the aisle.
At first, it was a column for commending advanced party members and workers in prisons.
Behind is the transformation pioneer column,
The photo of my brother-in-law topped the list.
"In prison, he often counselled and encouraged other prisoners to actively participate in reform, which was a great help to us.
In addition, he wrote and published a book, which had a strong influence. "
"Oh, writing a book?" Zhang Yanfeng asked curiously.
"Yes, he wrote a book called 'The Road to Redemption'. The protagonist is a prisoner, and the background is our Tongcheng Prison. It tells the story of a prisoner's mental journey from committing a crime to accepting legal punishment.
How did they go from being confused and resisting at first to actively accepting and recognizing their mistakes and correcting them
Actively accept reform and strive to obtain sentence reduction,
Strive to return to society as soon as possible, be a useful person to society, and face prison life and future life with a positive attitude.
I've read the book, it's really well written."
“That’s great.”
Zhang Yanfeng nodded, very satisfied.
"I have a few more in my office. Would you like to take one home and read it?"
"Hey, Old Chen, are you handing out a copy to everyone you see, using this book as promotional material for your prison?"
"Hey, you don't appreciate it when I give it to you, right? No, go to the bookstore and buy it yourself."
The two continued to walk forward while bickering.
"Does he write books every day?"
Zhang Yanfeng remembered that his sister seemed to have told him before that they met online because they were writing novels together, and then they fell in love.
However, at that time, both of them had relatively low incomes, and my brother-in-law's family was not well off, so he became a son-in-law and took over the Zhang family's mooncake workshop. After my sister gave birth to a child, she concentrated on creating at home, and later published many books in succession.
So,
My brother-in-law also gave up his dream for love.
Think about it,
It’s really not easy.
Now,
He can only display his talents in prison.
"Let me tell you, our prison has its own computer room, and I originally approved him to go to the computer room to write after daily reform activities.
Don't today's writers all use computers and keyboards to write stories
But he didn't want to.
He said he just liked to take his pen and write stories on paper.
He said that stories written this way are more down-to-earth.
More real. ”
