Chapter 54: The cruelty and viciousness of child abuse are conscientious,...
What is it for?
Xu Heye recollected the memory carefully. She looked outside. Lian Yushu was washing vegetables by the well. Lian Jiashu would alternately help him pump water and chatter around his brother.
Lian Yushu was not impatient. Seeing that Lian Jiashu wanted to help, he gave him a small green vegetable and asked him to wash it.
By the way, it seems to be because of Lian Jiashu.
Xu Heye remembered that the reason why the Guanyin devil killed people was to avenge his brother.
Xu Heye remembered the report saying the murderer had a younger brother, three years younger than him, who was mentally retarded. Fourteen or fifteen years old, he had the IQ of a five or six-year-old.
However, the murderer's family never gave up on this younger brother. On the contrary, they loved him very much.
But this mentally retarded child was brutally murdered.
His head was smashed, his spine was broken, his limbs were broken, his face was poured with water... Even after suffering so much damage, the child still tried to stay alive, but in the end he was buried alive.
His murderers were several teenagers who were younger than him, between the ages of ten and thirteen.
After the murder was solved, the police asked about the reasons for the murder. The reasons given by these children were both absurd and creepy.
They killed their companions in such a cruel way just because they found that earthworms could still survive after being cut into two pieces. So they wanted to know whether humans could regenerate like earthworms after being cut into several pieces and buried in the soil.
As for why they chose Lian Jiashu, it was because he was stupid and wouldn't complain. He wouldn't complain even if he was pelted with rocks or mud. Even if he was hurt, he would come over like a pug and play with them the moment they called him.
The police asked them if they had ever thought about how painful it would be for a human to have his head smashed, his limbs chopped off, his spine broken, or his face scalded with boiling water.
The children simply shrugged their shoulders and replied, "It hurts, so what? It's not me who's feeling the pain anyway."
Xu Heye still remembers the chill that shuddered when she first read the report. Sometimes, the cruelty and viciousness of children are beyond the imagination of conscientious and respectful adults.
If such a brutal killing had happened to an adult, they would have been executed immediately. However, due to their age, they were not even imprisoned. Instead, they were sent to a work-study school for juvenile offenders for three years.
Three years later, the victim's family has not yet healed from their pain, and the perpetrator has started a new life.
Then, the Guanyin Demonic Murder Case that shocked the nation occurred again. A young man in his early twenties brutally murdered six teenagers in the same brutal manner.
Xu Heye looked at the two brothers who were talking happily by the well. Apart from the red mole between his eyebrows, Lian Yushu had nothing in common with the callous and vicious murderer reported in the report.
They share the same features, but one is a gentle young man with a bright future ahead of him. Even though he's reserved, he's still positive, his eyes gleaming with tenderness. The other is a murderer facing the death penalty. Even though he's still young, his eyes are numb, and he exudes a faint air of despair and death.
There is also Lian Jiashu, who, although he has limited intelligence, has received a good education.
Children who are wrapped in love are kind and tolerant. So even if they are bullied, they will not use their height and long arms to bully those who are younger than them.
But sometimes, kindness and tolerance without sharp edges cannot change the conscience of the wicked. It will only make him become more aggressive and then suffer even more brutal humiliation.
Xu Heye tried hard to recall the two tragedies in her previous life.
Lian Jiashu's case was a closed trial because it involved minors, and not much information was released in the media, so she didn't remember exactly when it happened.
But she clearly remembered that Lian Yushu's case happened during the summer vacation of 1993.
It seemed like it had been exactly four years since Lian Jiashu's case.
She remembered that the report detailed Lian Yushu's motive for murder.
He said, my brother was tortured to death by those demons, but only four years have passed, my brother's body is still warm, and those murderers are about to start a new life.
How can we accept this?
Since the law cannot give us justice, I choose to seek it myself. In this equally passionate season, I send them down and atone for my sins to my brother.
Four years passed, and it was the same passionate season, so... Lian Jiashu was tortured and murdered during the summer vacation of 1989.
Xu Heye began to tremble all over.
During the summer vacation of 1989, she suddenly stood up and looked at Lian Jiashu in the yard. He was tortured and killed during this summer vacation?
Right now.
Xu Heye subconsciously raised her foot and walked out of the house. After taking two steps, she stopped.
What should she say?
He told Lian Yushu that his brother would be beaten and killed by a group of children of the same age or even slightly younger this summer vacation?
Or was it that during the summer vacation four years later, in order to avenge his brother, he killed six murderers at the cost of his own life, and in the end he couldn't escape death either?
Uncle Lu Jun believed her because the deceased Grandma Lu had already shown symptoms at the time and was being deceived by a scammer.
But there was no sign of what was happening to Lian Jiashu.
If she said this, would Lian Yushu believe it?
I'm afraid he just thinks she's crazy and is talking nonsense!
What should I do then?
Call the police?
There's no point calling the police.
Because nothing had happened yet, no one would believe her even if she called the police. But Xu Heye had a premonition that if she didn't intervene, everything would repeat itself.
So how can she stop this?
Xu Heye looked at the packed gifts and made a silent decision in her heart.
She won't go back to her hometown this summer vacation.
Even if it was a stranger, you couldn't just watch him being tortured and killed, let alone a neighbor or a friend.
Xu Heye thought about it and went to Aunt Liu's grocery store to call her hometown and ask someone to tell her parents that she would not be going home for the summer vacation. After coming out of the grocery store, Xu Heye took a steady look at the boys running around in the alley.
When they saw Xu Heye, they stuck out their tongues mischievously and ran away.
They were just naughty children now, their eyes clear and innocent, without any trace of numbness or cruelty.
How did I get to that point in my previous life?
Xu Heye returned to the rental house and began to think about the next step.
Of course, preventing Lian Jiashu from being killed is the most important thing.
But how?
Keep an eye on Lian Jiashu and prevent him from interacting with those bad boys? Or make up an excuse and ask the Lian family to take him to another place for medical treatment, so that he can stay away from this environment?
But soon, Xu Heye rejected this approach.
Because the root cause of this tragedy lies not with Lian Jiashu, but with those six cruel, vicious, ignorant, and fearless "murderers." If their evil intentions cannot be dispelled, even if Lian Jiashu doesn't exist, they will create another Zhao Jiashu, Li Jiashu...
When Dong Fuyun and Lu Jun came over, they saw Xu Heye sitting on a chair with a pile of unpacked luggage beside her.
"Uncle, Uncle Lu Jun, why are you here?" Xu Heye came back to her senses and asked. She knew that Dong Fuyun and his friends had been setting up stalls selling socks and that business was pretty good.
"We're here to take you home," Dong Fuyun said. "Didn't you say you were going back home for summer vacation? We're worried about you going back alone, so we might as well put our business aside and take you home."
Dong Fuyun said, lifting the large cloth bag in his hand, "I also bought some local specialties from Hucheng to take to your parents." My sister and brother-in-law are both from Hucheng. After twenty years away from home, they must miss these local specialties. The last time my sister left, he didn't have much money on hand, and he didn't pack any luggage for her to take back.
Xu Heye shook her head: "Uncle, I won't go back for the time being."
"Not going back?" Dong Fuyun frowned slightly. "What's the matter? Haven't you always wanted to go home after summer vacation?"
"Yes, there is something." Xu Heye was a little confused.
"What's the matter?" Dong Fuyun asked, "Tell your uncle, maybe I can solve it for you!"
"It's something that hasn't happened yet." If you tell someone something that has absolutely no basis, no one may believe it.
Dong Fuyun laughed: "Why are you worrying about something that hasn't happened yet?"
Lu Jun seemed to have noticed something: "He Ye, did you see it again?"
Dong Fuyun looked at his brother, then at his niece, and said in a broken voice, "He Ye, are you saying that you have figured it out again?"
"Yeah!" Xu Heye nodded and finally decided to speak out, "I saw the murder."
"Murder?" Dong Fuyun couldn't believe it.
"Yes." Xu Heye nodded, "It was a very brutal murder."
Dong Fuyun looked around warily, "Who is it?" Who is the murderer? Who is the victim?
Xu Heye lowered her voice and selectively told her uncle and Lu Jun what happened to Lian Jiashu.
Dong Fuyun was a little incredulous. "Are you saying that a few teenagers, about eleven or twelve years old, brutally tortured and buried a boy alive just because they wanted to prove whether humans could regenerate limbs like earthworms?"
