"You hate your own children?"
Peng Wan smiled wistfully: "You can't understand, police officer? - Oh, no wonder, you must have been born in a very good family, with very good parents... and you are a boy."
Wu Yu grabbed Bu Chonghua's icy hand and held it with all his strength.
The old moldy air in the cell seemed to freeze, and after a while, Bu Chonghua said lightly, "...My parents are indeed very good people."
"Boys don't understand this feeling." Peng Wan didn't notice the slight strangeness of Bu Chonghua, she gently stroked her son's young back, looking at the dust in the air, her voice was as soft as babbling: "Before, baby When I was breastfeeding in my arms, I looked at his face and wondered why all this , desperately gave birth to a boy? Why do everyone love him so much and are willing to give him all the attention and attention, and the stingy old Tao family is willing to pay the 440,000 for him?"
Tears flowed down her cheeks, but she smiled: "Even my father, who I haven't seen in 30 years, came back for him, why?"
The surroundings were frighteningly quiet, and Bu Chonghua was silent for a long time before he asked: "Wan Changwen came to contact you on the initiative?"
"Yes, he called me when he first returned to China, and he asked my child, but he didn't say where he was hiding. I don't know how he knew my phone address, maybe Qin Chuan told him Yes - but it doesn't matter anymore." Peng Wan stared straight at the void in front of him, and raised his eyebrows: "The moment I received his call, I realized that this was the only opportunity in my life, and there was no one else I could get out of this world. Chances of a fucking life. The only thing I need to think about is how to get out of the shell."
"So you pretended to be Tao Zhengqing and went to Ding Sheng?"
"No, it was Tao Zhengqing who came to Ding Sheng first. That idiot of my husband didn't even know that he had been explained to him by Zhang Fei." Peng Wan laughed sarcastically: "One night Ding Sheng was drunk and called my husband. , maybe trying to threaten him? Or scolding him for some money? Just as my husband was taking a shower, I hung up the phone and suddenly realized that I could use this relationship to make a perfect set. So the next day I registered a WeChat account with my husband’s mobile phone number, added Ding Sheng, and told him I was sorry for messing with his wife, but the family’s money is strictly controlled by my parents. I am willing to work with him to plan a fake kidnapping. , the ransom of 440,000 yuan will be divided into sixty-four cents."
Wu Yu asked: "Ding Sheng has no doubts?"
Peng Wan stammered: "Doubt what? A young man in his early twenties, who got a blank in the college entrance examination, never went to college, is flying leaves and laughing in the circle of friends all day long, desperate for money, and eager to die. He still has an IQ? That's it. The poor brain must have been beaten to a pulp by laughter."
—Although she is crazy, her eyesight is much more accurate than her husband's.
"I've been planning this for a long time, and I've spent many nights with my eyes open until dawn, thinking about every detail before and after, and even went to the ransom bin to investigate for a few days. I asked Ding Sheng to set the release of the 'hostage' at the back door of the amusement park, because I am very familiar with the surveillance blind spots there. , all the police will think that Tao Zhengqing colluded with his mistress and the whole family to kill his wife." Peng Wan smiled, looked at Wu Yu, and shook his head slowly: "I just didn't expect Jinhai to have a police officer like you, if I had known, if I knew that... things should be different now."
Wu Yu was silent for a while, and Bu Chonghua asked, "If I guessed right, the kidnappers on the river bank called the police late that night and asked to surrender themselves. You also caused it?"
Peng Wan suddenly became quiet. She is an ordinary person after all, and she still has lingering fears after experiencing life and death. After a long time, she reluctantly said, "Yes, because those two little idiots had no way out and wanted to tear up the vote."
Bu Chonghua guessed the follow-up development at that time. Although it is a question sentence, the ending is straight: "So you can only confess immediately?"
"...Yes, I have no other choice." Peng Wan forced himself to raise his head: "I told him that I was willing to surrender to the police, and all this was a prank I hired them to play with my in-law's family, so that they would not be considered a crime, No criminal responsibility."
"No! I have a way to help you, I have a way!!"
With a puff of blood, Peng Wan collapsed on the beach in the torrential rain, clutching his injured hand and screaming intermittently.
Ding Sheng and Deng Le looked at each other. After all, they had never killed anyone before, and they were a little timid when they saw the blood. They forcibly suppressed their beating hearts: "You, what did you say?"
"I did all this. I pretended to be Tao Zhengqing to find you. It was me from beginning to end! I used the software to change my voice to call you! I just want to win my husband's attention again!" The rhetoric that had been conceived was very natural and came out of Peng Wan's mouth: "I am willing to surrender to the police, just say this is a prank I hired you two to do, I was not kidnapped at all, I went with you of my own accord. Don't kill me! Kill me and you will go to jail!!"
The two kidnappers couldn't believe their ears, Ding Sheng blinked his eyes for a long time, and suddenly picked up Peng Wan's collar: "It's you?! It's you who came to me to discuss this matter from beginning to end?!—You are crazy. already?!"
Peng Wan burst into tears: "I'm just a poor woman abandoned by my husband. I can't help it. It's all my idea! I'm willing to admit it to the police!"
Ding Sheng was stunned: "I fuck your mother..."
"You can either kill me now and hide for the rest of your life and be wanted by the police. No matter how big China is, you can't hide until you die; or you can help me call the police and surrender." Peng Wan fought every word, but forced him to I stared at the kidnapper's fierce eyes every word: "First, I went with you voluntarily, so you didn't commit the crime of kidnapping, and second, you called the police on your own initiative, turning yourself in and making a report can be considered meritorious. It’s the most criticism and education, no breaking the law at all, let alone going to jail! But if you kill our mother and son, it’s over!!”
The two kidnappers looked at each other, speechless in shock.
"You must think clearly about which is more important and which is less important, and don't do stupid things!" Peng Wan grabbed Ding Sheng's hand and shouted hoarsely, "You are still young! Don't do stupid things!!"
…
"The two little idiots were stunned. After discussing a few words, they called you to surrender. At that time, I could hear clearly from the side, and I knew in my heart that this time my father was going to give up on me completely—from From the moment the kidnapping incident happened, he would no longer care about my life or death." Peng Wan took a deep breath and said, "I'll just wait on the beach, wait for the police car to come, and wait for me to be arrested. Handcuffed into the station... But I never imagined that it wasn't the police who came first."
Peng Wan buried his head, thrust his fingers into his hair, and pinched his scalp with his fingernails, so hard that the phalanx on the back of his hand burst out. Bu Chonghua frowned and asked, "How many murderers with guns?"
After a long while, Peng Wancai made a trembling voice, raised his pale and blue face, and said, "... No, it's my father's subordinate."
Wu Yu and Bu Chonghua had a meal at the same time.
"My father wanted me to die. He was afraid that I would fall into the hands of the police and he would explain it to him, so he kept me here... He wanted me to die."
Wu Yu subconsciously looked at Bu Chonghua, and met Bu Chonghua's equally suspicious gaze, and then the two turned to the child in Peng Wan's arms at the same time.
Are they all wrong
Could it be that for Wan Changwen, the only grandson born to his daughter is also a foreigner, and in order to save the trouble of dealing with children, he simply cut the grass and left no one behind
"Are you sure it's your father, Peng Wan?" Wu Yu hesitated, "According to the last information we got, the human bone helmet is still in the haunted house. If the other party is really your father's, why didn't he get it?"
This is actually a very delicate matter. Although Wu Yu mercilessly exposed the farce of the kidnapping case she directed and acted, Peng Wan's attitude towards him has been softened a little. During the conversation, she was never willing to look at Bu Chonghua. However, he looked at Wu Yu's face several times, as if he did not subconsciously put his resistance and disgust towards the police group into Wu Yu.
That may be the extreme sensitivity she has cultivated during her growing up. She can clearly feel the slightest difference in tone, attitude, and even eyes of others towards her.
"Because I didn't tell anyone, including my father, that the human bone helmet was in the haunted house." She smiled wryly: "Isn't it funny? Although I know I'm useless and I know my life is cheap, I can't help but want to be there. Take some 'handles' on these trivial places... Handles that nobody cares about and that doesn't really work at all."
As if this can give yourself some illusory sense of security.
As if in this way, you can muster the courage and step into the abyss where the golden light on the surface is alluring and there is no way back.
Bu Chonghua's hand around Wu Yu's shoulder tightened, Wu Yu also raised his head, both of them saw doubt and uncertainty in each other's eyes.
Was the person who sent Peng Wan here really Wan Changwen
Even if Wan Changwen was different from what the police imagined and didn't care about this grandson named Tao at all, why did he put Bu Chonghua and Wu Yu in the cell as well
Two adult criminal policemen are no weaker than Peng Wan. If you really want to kill them, you should do it sooner. Otherwise, there will be many dreams, and Wan Changwen, who has killed more than one policeman in his life, should know this very well.
So who is the other party, and what is the purpose of locking them up
"Baby, baby, baby..." The child in Peng Wan's arms was probably really uncomfortable, and began to cry hoarsely. She hurriedly shook and hugged a few times, and the child fell into a deep slumber in her arms.
Wu Yu had a fever. He leaned against Bu Chonghua's arms and looked at her mother and son weakly and quietly, as if through this scene he recalled fragmented and long fragments from a long, long time ago, and whispered for a long time, "You still love this child, right?"
Peng Wan patted the child's hand.
"...Love." She said lightly, "My mother has longed for a boy all her life, the true root of the three-generation single handed down of the old Tao family, how can you not love?"
Wu Yu looked at her, not knowing what to say.
"Did you know that my mother gave birth to a stillborn child, police officer?" Peng Wan suddenly became excited and said with a smile, "It's a full-term baby boy."
Now even Bu Chonghua didn't know what to say.
"My mother has hated me all her life, and sometimes I really think she hates me to the point of death. Since she was a child, she told me that there are many, many people who want to introduce her to men, but she didn't go to see her, for fear of finding a stepfather. It was not good for me; she was laid off later, saying that it was because I was not conscious and she had to take care of my studies, so the leaders felt that her work was not as good as others. When I first started working, she could beat me five or six times an hour. Ten missed calls, I hid in the company's bathroom and called back, and heard her furious on the other side of the phone that I was a white-eyed wolf, my wings were hard, and if I didn't answer her calls, I would be punished in the future; later I fell in love with Tao Zhengqing When she came home two hours late from work, she threw something at home and smashed the door to ridicule me, saying that I spent time and energy trying to please men, and I was afraid that I couldn't wait to be someone else's family - but maybe she forgot to urge me She was the one who got married on a blind date, and she was the one who said that a woman could not marry after twenty-five and it was useless to live."
Peng Wan smiled with tears in her eyes, staring at the hazy gray air: "I think she hates me, but she also loves me very much. When I was a child, I ate eggs at home, she ate egg whites, and saved the egg yolks for me. I bought a fish, I ate fish meat, she ate fish head and fish tail. When she grew up, she often told me how hard it was to bring up a child alone. In order to raise me, she was reluctant to eat and drink. She fell ill and suffered a lot in her life. The sins she suffered were all for me... Later, she fell ill, lying in the hospital bed and saying that she left all the things she saved in her life to me, that I was the continuation of her life, and as long as I was fine, she would be willing to die."
A series of tears fell to the ground from Peng Wan's chin, splashing small splashes in the dust.
"But in the last few days, the last few days when she was unconscious on the hospital bed, what she was talking about was the stillbirth, the precious little son who didn't survive... I just realized that she regretted it. Yes, at least the deepest part of my heart is regret. If she hadn't jumped off the boat to save me thirty years ago, if she hadn't walked in the cold water of the first month, if she had given birth to my father's only Zhenggen Boys…”
Wu Yu sighed hoarsely: "Peng Wan, you—"
"But since that's the case, why did you jump off the boat to save me in the first place? Why do you hate me after saving me?" Peng Wan's eyes widened, as if looking at a woman who didn't exist in the void, his face seemed to be crying It's like laughing again: "Why do you hate me in your heart and love me at the same time?!"
Wu Yu's throat seemed to be blocked by a hot and sour lump, so that he could not make a sound. At this time, the hand surrounded by Bu Chonghua patted his shoulder vigorously: "There is only a parent-child relationship in this world where there is only love and no hatred. Very few, Peng Wan."
This is the first time that Bu Chonghua called her by name instead of "you" in person.
"Some families love more than hate, some hate more than love, and some families have a mixture of love and hate, and it's hard to tell the difference. Even a family that looks happy on the surface may still have disappointments and injustices that are hard to see for outsiders. , but that will always be pressed at the bottom of the heart, and will never speak to others in a sober state." Bu Chonghua slowly shook his head: "Some parents use extreme pain and gnashing hatred to prove their love, There is no way to do this, and it is inexplicable to the children. We can only learn to relax by ourselves over a long period of time.”
"..." Peng Wanwo took a few convulsive breaths against the wall, and suddenly asked sharply, "Why do you say that? How do you know? You—"
"I know because I hated my parents too."
Peng Wan's anger suddenly stopped.
"But no matter how much you love and hate, it's useless now," Bu Chonghua was silent for a moment, his voice very low: "I can only let myself go forward with it. You and I can only go forward with it."
Peng Wan's dull eyes finally moved towards him little by little, and those pupils were dark and hollow.
After an unknown period of time, weeping slowly oozes out of the darkness, and then it turns into a howl that is extremely depressed and has nowhere to vent.
Wu Yu didn't look back at Bu Chonghua's expression at the moment, he just raised his hand and pulled his other arm, wrapping it tightly in front of him, like a silent hug close to the front and back.
"..." Bu Chonghua didn't make a sound. After a while, he finally buried his face in the back of his neck and exhaled a breath of exhausted and hot air.
- At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
The kidnapper is finally here!
Wu Yu's ears twitched and his muscles tightened. Just as he was about to get up, he was pulled back heavily by Bu Chonghua, blocking him: "You..."
Bu Chonghua made a stern gesture to Wu Yu with one hand that he was not allowed to come over, grabbed the brick with the other hand, hurried forward against the wall, stood in front of the closed iron door and held his breath.
Puff, puff, puff.
The air suddenly fell into a dead silence, Peng Wan widened his eyes and bit his hand tightly, Wu Yu clung to the wall and stared at the latch, and Bu Chonghua's arm holding the brick protruded with blue veins. In just a few seconds, it seemed like there was no end to it, and everyone's heart was squeezed to the top in this dead silence—
The next moment, half a piece of paper slipped through the crack of the door.
In an instant, everyone stared at the half-cut piece of paper, not knowing how to react.
What is this for? The kidnappers didn't plan to smash the door? What the hell is going to come in with a piece of paper
"... This..." Peng Wan just opened his mouth with a trembling, but Bu Chonghua stopped her immediately, and wrapped his fingers around the hem of his clothes to pinch the edge of the note, and immediately felt the other end of the kidnapper's hand release outside the door, and the whole piece of paper was pulled out immediately. Entering the cell, Bu Chonghua looked down.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Yu watched his face change drastically, and he was about to tear the note!
"What is that?" Wu Yu stepped forward and grabbed Bu Chonghua's hand before he could move: "Show me, let go!"
"Nothing, Wu Yu, don't-"
"open!"
Peng Wan wanted to come over but didn't dare at all, leaning against the wall and shaking into a ball. Wu Yu's burst of strength at this moment was simply amazing, he pulled away Bu Chonghua's hand and grabbed the note, almost stabbing it in half, and then took a closer look, and his mind was instantly shocked—
Two rows of red letters were clearly printed on the note.
[As long as one kills the other]
[You can all go out]
