"It's true that this is Qiulan, but how can she age so fast?! Her hair is all white! She is not even fifty years old! She is two years younger than me!" Someone behind the village chief questioned.
"Haven't you heard the story about how her hair turned gray overnight? Qiulan was already very sick, and I didn't see how strong she was. La Gen and Xiao Xia met with accidents at the same time. She couldn't bear the blow and went crazy. It's not surprising that her hair would turn gray like this. "The village chief sighed as he looked at Rao Qiulan's photo.
"Are you sure she is Rao Qiulan, the mother of Ling Xiaodong and Ling Xiaoxia?" Mu Yu was still distraught until she reached the Yellow River.
"You still doubt that our eyes are good?" A man glared at Mu Yu angrily, "Her family and I are neighbors, and we have seen each other for more than 20 years!"
"There is a black mole at the end of Qiulan's left eyebrow. Look." In comparison, the village chief seemed much more easy-going. He was not unhappy at all about Mu Yu's doubts. Instead, he patiently explained to her, "Actually, I don't care about this mole." , we can also recognize Qiulan at a glance. She only has gray hair and a lot of wrinkles on her face, but her facial features have not changed much. By the way, where are Qiulan, Xiaodong and her son now? Okay?"
"Yes, where are they now? Will they return to Lingjiazhuang?"
"His house is almost falling down. If he comes back, we can help them repair it in advance."
The other two villagers immediately followed and asked, obviously caring about the two women very much.
"They..." Rong Jian hesitated before continuing, "They are no longer here."
He didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, so he lied.
"What?! Dead?!"
"How did you die?!"
"When did you die?!"
The village chief and others asked in great shock.
Rong Jian pointed to the photo and explained: "This is a photo provided by a nursing home last year. After the old man in the photo died of illness, her son also committed suicide. At that time, many people sympathized with the mother and son and donated a lot of money. The nursing home was unable to I contacted the relatives of the mother and son, but could not handle the money, so I entrusted our police to help find people. Unexpectedly, they were Ling Xiaodong and his mother whom I had been looking for. I thought they were dead long ago. "
After he finished speaking, he secretly wiped his sweat to apologize for his lie.
"Oh." The village chief's face was full of regret, and then he looked at Rong Jian with a troubled expression, "There is no one in Qiulan's natal family, and the Lagen family is only the sixth or seventh generation. Although Xiaodong calls us uncles, we are actually related by blood. It’s very sparse, so who should give this money?”
In fact, Rong Jian had known such a result for a long time. He deliberately pretended to be embarrassed and thought for a while before saying that he would donate it to the village for public expenses. Then he brought the topic back to the topic: "But I want to raise this money." We need to go through a lot of legal procedures, and it is estimated that the money will not arrive in a year and a half, so I ask you to help conceal this matter for the time being, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble if you have planned the use of the money but the money does not arrive in the village for a while. The trouble would be embarrassing and might make the villagers distrustful of the police, which would defeat our original intention.”
"I understand, I understand." The village chief nodded repeatedly, and then sternly told the three men behind him, "Did you hear what the police comrades said?"
"I heard it, we won't talk nonsense." The three men nodded repeatedly.
The village chief thought for a moment and then asked: "Where are the ashes of Qiulan and his wife now? I want to take them back to Lingjiazhuang."
"When I apply for the money for you, I will send their ashes back together." Rong Jian laughed again and warned the village chief and villagers again before leaving Ling with Min Suo, Mu Yu and others. Homestead.
On the way, Rong Jian told Min Suo to keep this matter secret.
Min Suo was a policeman, so he could naturally hear the deception in Rong Jian's words just now. At this time, Rong Jian didn't tell him the reason. He also understood the discipline involved, so he didn't ask any more questions and immediately expressed his understanding.
Qin Jinhuan and Mu Yu also understood Rong Jian's painstaking efforts, so they didn't say anything and just asked Bian Zijun to arrange the arrangements for returning to Ancheng.
Early the next morning, they returned to Ancheng.
Rong Jian was as excited as a clockwork. After arriving in Ancheng, he handed Mu Yu to Qin Jinhuan, ignored Mu Yu's pleas, and drove out of the airport in a hurry.
"I want to see Xiao Nian'er." After getting in the car, Mu Yu said to Qin Jinhuan.
"No!" Qin Jinhuan objected immediately, "Do you want to scare the snake away?"
"I just want to see Nian'er, I won't talk to Brother Yihan or anything else."
"If you really want to go see Nian'er, you can do it later. The time is not right now. Go back and rest first."
He raised his hand and looked at his watch, and saw that it was indeed only around three o'clock in the morning. Mu Yu was speechless.
When Qin Jinhuan returned home and caught up on his sleep, Mu Yu was not sleepy at all and kept looking at the ceiling with his eyes open.
Xin Yihan first appeared at her home seven years ago, and she didn't even have the courage to look up at him when the shadow of Luo Mingan's murder of his wife was still shrouded in the shadow.
She didn't remember that a few months later, he stepped into her home again and began to provide her with psychological counseling and help her with all her missed homework.
His magnetic voice attracted her. After completing the full course of junior high school, she finally dared to look up at him. She memorized this clear-cut profile; after completing the full course of high school, she had stepped out of the shadows. At the same time, he was deeply engraved in his heart, and he was out of control from then on.
On deserted nights, she had imagined countless times walking along the boulevard holding his hand, and countless times fantasizing about him leading her into the church.
She always goes to sleep with a longing for happiness and wakes up with a sweet smile.
The sky at that time was always extremely blue, as clear as her young girl's heart when she was in love.
On the ceiling, Ling Xiaodong's extremely thin face and Xin Yihan's always smiling face suddenly appeared alternately.
Slowly, the two faces merged into one face, making it difficult for her to tell who was who, and also brought her back to the cruel reality from her memories.
She wanted to cry, but she couldn't.
Only then did she realize that Zhang Yiming's previous suspicion of Xin Yihan was true. Her brother Yihan was the top student who Zhang Yiming admired.
No wonder Brother Yihan was able to help her make up for all her homework in just two or three years, and even sent her to Anseong University.
It turns out that she had been hovering on the edge of this game of cheating, but she missed the truth because of her absolute trust in her brother Yihan.
I think back then, she felt extremely guilty because of her doubts about him. Thinking about it now, she was still too emotional.
She thought about the college entrance examination that year again.
Because of his words, "You must be a person who can uphold social justice as much as possible", she tried her best to apply for the police academy. However, due to physical reasons, she failed to apply, so she changed her application to the forensic medicine major without hesitation.
But she didn't expect that she, who was studying forensic medicine, would discover his true identity in the end.
Maybe she'll still be the one to bring him to justice.
Life played a big joke on her.
He also made a big joke.
"I want to go to the detention center to see Yin Xiaotian. Captain Rong asked me to go." When Qin Jinhuan got up, Mu Yu also got up.
Qin Jinhuan turned to look at her, hesitated, and nodded.
An hour later, Mu Yu met Yin Xiaotian in the detention center.
"You, are you Sister Xiaotian?!" Mu Yu looked at the skinny woman in front of him in shock.
After being imprisoned, Yin Xiaoxing's weight plummeted. However, after she was sent to Boai to wait for delivery, under the careful care of Xin Yihan and medical staff, her weight slowly increased. After giving birth to Nian'er, she wanted to breastfeed Nian'er. Eat as hard as you can to replenish yourself with nutrients. The last time Mu Yu saw her, although she was not very fat, she was much rounder than before.
In just a few days, Yin Xiaotian lost weight even more than before she went to Boai to wait for childbirth!
The sunken eye sockets, pale face, dull expression, and stiff limbs were not the same as the Yin Xiaotian in Mu Yu's impression, so she subconsciously became suspicious of the woman in front of her.
If Yin Xiaotian looked like this, walking on the road in the middle of the night, she would definitely scare a group of people into tears.
"She is Yin Xiaotian!" The prison guard confirmed to Mu Yu in a helpless tone. "When she came back from the hospital, she still ate two mouthfuls of food every day. Since she requested an early execution, she
She just started not getting enough food and didn't listen to advice. Maybe she was already dead... "
Suddenly realizing that he couldn't talk nonsense, the prison guard paused.
Mu Yu understood what she meant and motioned for her to go out first: "I'll talk to her."
"Okay, I'll be right outside. If you need anything, please call me." The prison guard knew Mu Yu's identity and was very polite.
When the prison guards went out, Mu Yu immediately walked up to Yin Xiaotian and tried to help her sit down, but Yin Xiaotian threw her away.
"What are you doing here?!" Yin Xiaotian asked hoarsely.
Her voice was not loud, but she obviously used a lot of effort, and she started panting as soon as she finished speaking.
Mu Yu looked at her steadily and responded softly: "I'm here to see you."
"Are you looking at my jokes? Have you seen enough? Get out of here." Yin Xiaotian gritted her teeth and spoke out word by word. The gap between her teeth was full of hatred for Mu Yu, and her twisted face made her Even more ferocious.
"Is it worth risking your life to take the blame for him?"
Yin Xiaotian's whole body suddenly trembled, and then she looked at Mu Yu and asked, "What did you say?"
Mu Yu stared at her solemnly, and deliberately paused for five or six seconds before speaking slowly: "The real culprit in the serial murder case is not you at all. You are just taking the blame for others. The real culprit is actually..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Yin Xiaotian suddenly rushed forward and pushed Mu Yu hard.
"what are you doing?!"
"Stop! It's none of your business! Go away!" Mu Yu, who staggered and almost fell, immediately shouted sharply when he knew that Huang Bo was going to deal with Yin Xiaotian.
"Young mistress..."
"Go away!"
It was rare to see Mu Yu's voice sound so stern, Huang Bo immediately stopped. Although he was worried, he still took two steps back and stared at Yin Xiaotian with a vigilant face to prevent her from attacking again.
"How dare you play a dying man with an impossible truth? Are you still worthy of being a forensic doctor? Do you still have humanity?!" Yin Xiaotian yelled and scolded her.
She tried her best to change the topic and continue to hide it, but her ashen face and crumbling body betrayed her original intention to Mu Yu.
Although Mu Yu was very confused at this time, he tried his best to pretend to be as calm as water, and said slowly: "Aren't you afraid that you will sacrifice your life to protect a man who will marry a wife and have children after you die, and forget about you completely? , and then abandon or let your stepmother abuse your little Nian'er
"This is impossible! It's impossible for Yihan to marry again." Yin Xiaotian interrupted her confidently.
"Really? It seems that you don't know that Brother Yihan found a stepmother for Xiao Nian'er." Mu Yu said coldly, "I came here today to tell you that that woman made a suggestion to Brother Yihan Request: Let her give him a child, and she will not care about his homosexuality. Brother Yihan agreed. "
Yin Xiaotian was surprised: "You, how do you know he is gay?"
Mu Yu didn't answer her words, but said in a powerless tone: "That woman's methods are very powerful. Xiao Nian'er is helpless and no one will support him. From now on, he can only grit his teeth and endure the stepmother's needle pricks and blows." Beat him with an iron rod, scald him with boiling water, scratch him with a knife..."
"Do you think I will believe you?" Yin Xiaotian looked at her coldly, "Boring."
After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave the interview room.
"Alas, Brother Yihan's guess was correct. You will definitely not admit to taking the blame for him." Mu Yu deliberately lamented behind her, "It's a pity that he failed you. After hearing the news of your request for early execution, he Entrust Nian'er to me and surrender."
"What?!" Yin Xiaotian trembled and turned around as if she was struck by lightning, "What did you say?!"
"Brother Yihan surrendered. He told me that he was gay and that you took the blame for him. He said that he couldn't watch you take the blame for him. He said that he had a guilty conscience after you died. If he can't live the rest of his life in peace, he might as well die. Look, this is his confession." Mu Yu handed her a confession.
Yin Xiaotian immediately collapsed after seeing Xin Yihan's signature. She tore up the confession like crazy and said hysterically: "Why is he so stupid?! I already said I was willing!"
"So, you admitted that he was the real murderer." Mu Yu grabbed her arm fiercely.
