How could he be a murderer!
Seeing that Mu Qiu didn't believe it, the police had to say, "Why do you think your mother had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage? She heard about this today and was anxious and angry!"
"How could this be..." Mu Qiu couldn't believe it was true, but the policeman in front of her was a stranger to her, so there was really no need for him to lie to her.
The lofty image of his father in Mu Qiu's mind collapsed in an instant!
She let go of the policeman's arm and banged on the door, crying and shouting, "Mu Mian! Mu Mian, come out! Mom is dying, she's holding on for you to see her!"
"Dad, come with me to see her!"
In the detention center, many people were awakened by Mu Qiu's shouting. No one said anything. Firstly, discipline forbade them from talking in the middle of the night, secondly, they wanted to hear some gossip, and thirdly, they felt that this girl was too pitiful.
After returning to the detention room from the interrogation room, Mu Mian was always worried about Du Tingting's condition and couldn't sleep all night. When Mu Qiu called out for the first time, Mu Mian heard it.
He suddenly jumped up from the bed, lay on the gate, and shouted to the corridor: "Let me out!"
"My daughter is outside, let me out!"
"Captain Lin, you promised me that you would let me go see my lover!"
Captain Lin was a police officer from the police station. He would not come to the detention center unless he was interrogating a prisoner. Captain Lin could not hear Mu Mian's shouting.
The noise Mu Mian made was so loud that it woke up the police officer on duty in the detention center.
Two policemen came over and asked Mu Mian angrily, "Criminal Mu Mian, what are you yelling about? Don't you know that you can't make noises at bedtime?"
Mu Mian quickly said to the police, "Comrade police, please be kind and take me to the hospital. My wife is dying. My daughter is calling me outside. I have to go see my wife for the last time!"
"No! That's not the rule! You can't see your family or go out before you're sentenced. No matter what the circumstances!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Mian was dumbfounded.
The detention center was very quiet. Mu Qiu's shouts reached Mu Mian's ears from a distance of dozens of meters, and each shout was filled with despair.
"Dad, Mom is dying. Come with me to see her. She loves you so much. She won't be at peace if she doesn't see you!"
After hearing Mu Qiu's words, Mu Mian grabbed the iron railing tightly. The flesh on his arms was tense, his neck was stiff, and the blue veins on it were throbbing wildly.
"Mu Qiu!" Mu Mian roared at the top of his lungs, "Mu Qiu, I'm sorry for your mother. I don't have the face to see her!"
"Mu Qiu, go back, go back quickly, don't let her go alone!"
Mu Qiu seemed to have heard Mu Mian's words. She was stunned for a moment, then slowly slid down the iron gate and sat on the ground. The police officer on duty couldn't bear to watch her any longer and advised her, "Little girl, go back. Your mother is still waiting for you."
Mu Qiu woke up as if from a dream. She supported herself on the iron gate and stood up, then stumbled into the taxi and drove away.
-
In an isolated ward, Du Tingting's life was drawing to a close. She could only breathe out but not in, staring at the ceiling with tears in her eyes.
Her breath was getting weaker and weaker, but she still held on, waiting for someone who would never come.
Two nurses stood by her bed, monitoring her vital signs.
Boom boom boom——
The running footsteps were getting closer and closer. The nurse looked up and saw Mu Qiu returning.
Mu Qiu came to Du Tingting's bedside, held her hand, and said to her, "Mom, I went to find Dad, but they won't let him out."
The tears in Du Tingting's eyes grew brighter and brighter, eventually forming two tears that rolled out from the corners of her eyes.
Mu Qiu wiped away Du Tingting's tears while crying. "Don't be afraid, Mom. Qiu'er is with you."
Du Tingting's fingers suddenly lifted up with difficulty.
The nurses were amazed at how a dying person could actually lift her hands. They saw Du Tingting's hand pointing to the bag on the bedside table.
Du Tingting's mouth trembled, as if she wanted to say something, but she had lost the ability to speak and could not make any sound.
Her eyelids grew heavier, and Du Tingting, like someone who had worked too long, suddenly stood up, stretched out her arms, and sighed, "Ah!"
After a sigh, Du Tingting stopped breathing.
Mu Qiu buried her head in tears and didn't even notice that Du Tingting had passed away. It was the nurse who noticed and reminded her: "Ms. Mu, Ms. Du is gone."
Mu Qiu stopped crying.
She slowly raised her head and saw that Du Tingting's mouth was slightly open and she was not breathing out. She reached out her hand and touched Du Tingting's mouth and nose without giving up.
I really wasn't breathing.
Mu Qiu's heart ached. "Mom! Don't leave!" No matter how much Mu Qiu yelled, Du Tingting wouldn't respond. Even after her death, she kept her eyes open, unable to close them.
Mu Qiu reached out to close Du Tingting's eyes, but she seemed to be obsessed with it and refused to close them. Mu Qiu tried several times but still couldn't close her mother's eyes. She finally broke down and lay on Du Tingting's body, crying.
The young nurse asked the older nurse, "What did Ms. Du's gesture mean just now?"
The older nurse walked around the foot of the bed to the bedside table and opened Du Tingting's bag. The younger nurse also came over, and the two of them took a look inside the bag before emptying everything out.
On the counter there is a makeup mirror, lipstick, BB cream, mobile phone, keys, wallet... and a neatly folded A4 paper document.
