*There are some things that even if you know that you will be sorry to some people, you still need someone to do it.
In Jiang Qi's memory, the night when Jiang Quan died was the shortest dark night.
It seemed that the day came very quickly, and it didn't take much longer for the sun to shine in through the window.
That was the happiest night in Jiang Qi's heart.
He watched Jiang Quan's body cool down bit by bit, the smile on the corner of his lips seemed to disappear, and the blood was dry and sticky, and his slender fingers were playing with the knife in his hand.
Not long after, the police came.
He 'turned himself in'.
Inside the police station, Jiang Qi was as bored as a shut-up gourd.
The policeman who was in charge of interrogating him would nod when he asked him anything, looking like a marionette with a lost soul.
When the policeman asked 'why the murder', the boy hesitated for a moment, and the light in his eyes dimmed.
But he was silent for a while, and still raised his head and said in a hoarse voice: "He was the one who wanted to kill me first."
The few policemen in the room were a little speechless. After all, Jiang Qi's neck was already bruised and bruised, and the scars on his body were all obvious.
It stands to reason that after Jiang Qi turned himself in, there would be no need for this matter, and the case could be resolved directly. However, according to the forensic examination, there was a doubt—the injury of the deceased Jiang Quan was on the back, and according to the police and forensic personnel, the reconstruction In the original scene, Jiang Qi was restrained and abused by Jiang Quan in front of him. How did he stab someone to death from behind? Human arms are probably unable to make such twisted movements.
But several policemen interrogated him several times, asking if there were any other suspicious persons, but Jiang Qi only had one sentence: He killed the person.
"No one else." The boy lowered his eyes: "It's me."
The motive of the murder, the fingerprints on the murder weapon, the surrender, the confession, everything is solid evidence... the police can only close the case.
But why Jiang Quan's fatal wound was on his back, and the messy footprints on the ground after the fight have become unsolved mysteries.
The forensic doctor also identified the injuries on Jiang Qi's body, and found that there were countless old injuries and new injuries, and some traces could be traced back to a few years ago. It can be said that this young man has been abused for a long time.
In addition, he is underage and Jiang Quan is a recidivist with a previous conviction, and the boy has a mental illness certificate from the hospital... In the end, under the defense of the lawyer, Jiang Qi was sentenced to three years in prison for the crime of 'death due to excessive self-defense' .
The 'crime' he committed is not serious, and it is unknown if he can reduce his sentence if he behaves well in prison.
But what Jiang Qi did in prison in the later period would be good if he didn't have to be punished-fortunately, it was all based on the excuse of being a "minor".
Everyone in this world thought that Jiang Qi was the murderer, but only he knew that he was not the one who killed Jiang Quan.
He used to think that he would bring this secret to the coffin, and he would not tell anyone... But now he told Zhi Qi and listened.
The light bulb in the dilapidated house was crumbling, Zhi Qi looked at Jiang Qi in a daze under the dim light, and said in a hoarse voice, "So, so...so you didn't commit a crime at all?"
So Jiang Qilian's crime of 'excessive defense' doesn't even count? But spent three years in prison
Zhiqi felt a little dizzy for a moment, her mind went blank, and she couldn't help but stagger a bit—fortunately, Jiang Qi grabbed her arm.
"Why?" The girl stared at him with black eyes, almost gritted her teeth and asked, "Why didn't you say you were wronged?"
Seeing Zhiqi's expression, Jiang Qi closed his eyes and smiled wryly.
He knew that what he feared most was still to come.
Why has he been refusing to tell Zhiqi the so-called truth? He was afraid that Zhiqi would think it was too ridiculous, that he would be too irresponsible and self-willed, and violated their oath.
It's just that in this world, there are some things that even if you know that you will be sorry to some people, someone still needs to do it.
Jiang Qi is such a person.
He raised his eyes to look at the girl who was obviously unwilling, and just said lightly: "Because, there is nothing wronged."
Zhiqi was startled.
"Even if the uncle next door doesn't come, I will kill him." Jiang Qi sat on the wire bed, leaning his elbows on his knees and muttering to himself: "He kept my hands from getting blood, I put him in prison for a few years, which was fair."
To be honest, he was really fair.
Unless it's a desperate situation, who wants to kill others and become a real 'murderer'
He was once only one step away from hell, but it was the old man who pulled him out.
Jiang Qi didn't know the surname of the uncle who sold the cakes next door, but he knew that he was over seventy years old, and now he was not sure whether he was alive or not, so he surrendered himself to jail, he was willing.
Besides, he didn't go to jail for the old man, he was atonement for himself.
Because when he saw Jiang Quan's body, Jiang Qi was extremely happy - this is the devil's idea, and he will pay the price for it.
"But..." Zhi Qi was still a little confused when she heard it, her head was aching and confused, and she rubbed her temples unconsciously with her fingers: "But why did that old man kill your father?"
Jiang Qi looked down at the ground, and a sternness flashed in his eyes: "Because of my daughter."
This was the name that the old man kept muttering after he killed Jiang Quan and left.
Jiang Qi knew why.
When Jiang Quan was a minor, he was imprisoned for manslaughter after robbery, and it was this uncle's daughter who was robbed.
Because of being a minor, Jiang Quan was released after only ten years in prison, and continued to eat, drink, prostitute, and gamble all kinds of crimes, but the former victims could only wait for death alone.
Jiang Qi has been neighbors with this old man who sells hair cakes for more than ten years, all he knows is that the old man is haunted, dull and silent.
It was only by accident that he found out that he had these pasts with Jiang Quan.
The old man has been a neighbor with his sworn enemy for decades, and he has endured so much hardship, all for revenge.
That's right, revenge—because the old man felt that Jiang Quan's more than ten years in prison was not a punishment at all, so why should a person who ruined someone else's family be happy
Ten years is not enough.
What the old man wants is Jiang Quan's life.
In the past ten years, Jiang Qi has also heard the "warning" given to him by the old man many times, for example, the broken voice of "Fa Cake—Fa Cake—" is actually telling Jiang Qi that Jiang Quan is back .
So in the year when he graduated from elementary school, Zhiqi came to him, and after hearing the hint from the old man, he rushed the girl away.
For so many years, in fact, the old man has always been kind to him.
Besides, revenge is a matter of course, so Jiang Qi will not say it, he will let the old man live a stable old age that gets what he wants.
Anyway, he is still young, and he will be given a lighter sentence if he is a minor, and it is nothing to go to jail.
The young man looks cold and indifferent, but in fact he has always been a person who knows that "the kindness of a drop of water will be repaid by a spring". It may be that he has received too little kindness since he was a child. Jiang Qi always wants to repay the kindness others have given him. Go back very much.
So he can film "Jiao Si" for Shen Lei's kindness.
So he can give Jiang Shi and Guan Yue after earning money.
However, the only person Jiang Qi felt sorry for was Zhi Qi.
The little girl was the best person in the whole world to him, but instead of repaying him, he would leave again and again, even... separated without needing to separate.
He slowly cleared up the mystery of the incident a few years ago, revealing the most original, real, and even bloody face.
The truth is like a hedgehog jumping out suddenly, stabbing the little girl's soft body with cuts and bruises, but no blood is seen.
"Jiang Qi, what am I?" Zhixi's eyes were red, and he asked him unconsciously, "Have you ever thought about me?"
Four years ago, for her, she couldn't see Jiang Qi on an ordinary school morning, and couldn't find him no matter how hard she searched. She was afraid that he would commit suicide when she knew he was sick.
It wasn't until almost a month later that Zhi Qi's already slender body lost a whole circle of weight before he got the news from Jiang Qi.
Among the ambiguous rumors, it is said that Jiang Qi committed a crime and went to jail.
She naturally didn't believe it, so she went home and begged Zhiminglin, Mei Ran, and Zhiyu to help her find out the news. She even went to the doctor in a hurry to find Jiang Qi's uncle, and even asked the classmates who were close to each other in the class for help. …
But it didn't work, everything didn't work.
Zhi Qi couldn't see Jiang Shi, nor could he get any news from Jiang Qi.
Even Zhiminglin and Mei Ran were afraid that she would be affected, so they forced her to transfer to another school—the No. 3 Middle School was located in Lin Lan's East District, while Mei Ran transferred her to the West District to accompany the girl in the third year of high school, and forcefully transferred her to another school. Blocked all her contact with the outside world.
The despair at that time is still vivid when I think about it now.
Because a person can be confused, but not helpless, but at that time she was helpless, insignificant and incompetent, so that it was so difficult to know the news about a person, and it was difficult to reach the sky.
Later, when she went to university, she grew up and had some 'ideas'.
Zhiqi inquired about the place where Jiang Shi sells vegetables, but she still couldn't get a word about where Jiang Qi was from the taciturn man. She only vaguely knew that Jiang Qi was indeed in jail and sentenced to three years. sentence.
It wasn't until that time that Zhi Qi finally gave up.
But giving up does not mean despair, on the contrary, she feels that she has a clear 'hope'.
Isn't it just three years? One year has passed by then, and she just has to wait for the rest.
The wait is not terrible, the terrible thing is not knowing whether the wait is worth it.
Until today, Zhiqi has shaken the "faith" she has always believed in.
It turned out that Jiang Qi didn't need to be imprisoned back then, and he didn't need to be separated from her, but he didn't even say hello, and left as decisively as when he was thirteen years old... So what is she
"I'm sorry for you." Jiang Qi's eyes fluctuated to avoid her question, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, his light-colored eyes were obscure: "Qiqi, you can miss the appointment."
Although the girl will be his spiritual support every time he feels that he can't hold on anymore, but he doesn't deserve her.
The immature promises made when I was young were already simple and stupid, and I was sorry for her.
Therefore, he will abide by the agreement and only like little girls in this life... But Zhiqi can miss the appointment.
Jiang Qi feels that he is a person who should be revenged, just like his name, life is a mistake.
And if the girl is completely disappointed in him, it will be the cruelest 'revenge'.
