Chapter 118 The Root of Misfortune
◎He said that the fourth child was the root of trouble◎
After leaving the interrogation room, Zhu Feipeng looked at the thick file in Zhao Xiangwan's hand and asked in confusion, "In just one day, you have all the evidence against Lu Hui?"
Zhao Xiangwan glanced at him and said nothing.
Zhu Kang knocked Zhu Feipeng hard on the head and said, "Soldiers are not afraid of deception. Do you understand?"
Zhu Feipeng jumped up and said, "Hey, don't hit my head."
Zhao Xiangwan said solemnly, "Stop making a fuss. What Sun Youmin said is not very helpful to us. She did not admit that Lu Shangwu killed someone when he was 16 years old. She is just trying to distance herself from Lu Hui's actions and Lu Shangwen."
Zhu Feipeng nodded: "Yes, Sun Youmin is very cunning and calm. With a mother like this, I'm afraid Lu Shangwu will have a hard time dealing with her."
Zhu Kang was unsure and sighed: "Those two people have been in the public security system for so many years, their psychological quality must be very good. It's difficult to make them confess willingly."
Zhu Feipeng also sighed: "To be honest, I am also unsure. I have been a criminal policeman for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen people like Gong Youlin and Lu Hui who hold high positions in the public security system and have blood on their hands. After committing a murder case that wiped out a family, a 16-year-old boy not only did not have a mental breakdown, but dared to enter the public security system and become a policeman. Such a transformation is really terrifying. They wear uniforms and face the solemn police badge every day. Have they completely forgotten the oath they took when they joined the police force?"
Yes, we must pledge our loyalty to the Party, the motherland, the people and the law; we must strictly observe discipline and enforce the law impartially; we must be honest and upright and perform our duties conscientiously; and we must serve the people wholeheartedly.
Have you forgotten all these vows?
Zhao Xiangwan sneered: "For them, any oath is just a pretense. What they really want in their hearts is just fame and fortune, right? The evil in their hearts was released at the moment of murder, and there is no going back."
Zhu Kang looked at Zhao Xiangwan and said, "Xiangwan, they are too powerful. How about we replace them with someone else?"
Zhao Xiangwan: "Who should go up next?"
Zhu Kang spread his hands and said, "Let Director Xu take charge. He is the leader, shouldn't he be the one handling such a major case?"
Zhao Xiangwan felt relieved. Yes, why should she carry such a heavy burden alone?
Thinking of this, Zhao Xiangwan relaxed and smiled, "That makes sense. No matter what, we, the soldiers, will go ahead and let Director Xu and the people from the provincial government handle the rest."
Now that I've relaxed, no longer concerned about winning or losing, and have no pressure, I might as well go meet these two people.
Lu Hui, Zhao Xiangwan had met him before.
But Gong Youlin and Zhao Xiangwan never had the chance to meet each other.
Gong Youlin, 36 years old, is tall and handsome, and you can tell he was once a handsome guy. But unfortunately, he was greedy and didn't exercise, so he got fat and is no longer handsome.
Seeing three young men walking into the interrogation room, Gong Youlin sneered: "What? You can't even send a decent policeman? You brought me here for no reason, made such a big scene, and sent three little shrimps to see me?"
Zhao Xiangwan had already calmed down and did not intend to convict him after a single interrogation, so his attitude was naturally amiable.
"Director Gong, I've heard of him for a long time."
Gong Youlin didn't know his parents were already here. He didn't even look at Zhao Xiangwan. He snorted coldly, "It's always been easier to invite a god than to send him away. You summoned me to the police station. What crime did you frame me for?"
Zhao Xiangwan said, "It's an old case from 20 years ago."
Gong Youlin's heart skipped a beat, and he finally turned around and looked at Zhao Xiangwan.
[Which case? It can’t be… no, no, no! Ah Qiang died a long time ago. I have sent people to destroy the case files. Even the place where the six bodies were buried has been razed to the ground. The entire Xiaowan Village no longer exists. That case has been brought to nothing in this world.]
After hearing his thoughts, Zhao Xiangwan felt relieved.
Very good, so many years of smooth sailing have made Gong Youlin gradually arrogant, and I can hear what he is thinking without any stimulation.
Zhao Xiangwan continued, "When we were investigating a street stabbing case, we caught a criminal who used a controlled knife, so our bureau investigated a group of small business owners who were illegally selling knives."
Gong Youlin listened to her babble about machetes, knives, and businessmen, and said impatiently, "This is your Xing City's business. What does it have to do with me?"
Zhao Xiangwan leisurely lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then politely asked Gong Youlin: "Director Gong, would you like some tea?"
It can be seen that Gong Youlin has a rather bad temper.
Since you are irritable, don't be impatient.
As long as you are neither too hasty nor too slow, the other party will reveal their flaws.
Gong Youlin threw his hands away: "No!"
【What good tea can there be in this shabby place?】
[I drink Shifeng Longjing, a top-grade green tea that costs hundreds of yuan per pound. Who wants to drink the tea foam you have here?]
Zhao Xiangwan smiled: "It seems that Chief Gong doesn't like the tea of our Xing City Public Security Bureau. It's true, we are a humble government office, and we can't compare to the bus station police station. Backed by Sancun Bay, there are casinos, kilns, and trafficking dens. Just by collecting protection fees, Chief Gong must have made a lot of money, right?"
Gong Youlin was furious when he heard her sarcastic remarks: "You are lying! You are also a police officer. Don't talk nonsense without evidence. I will sue you for defamation."
The smile on Zhao Xiangwan's face gradually turned into a mockery: "Go ahead and sue me!"
She pointed at the police badge on her body and said, "Come on, remember it? If you are worthy of the oath you made as a police officer, then go and sue me! If you are truly honest, fair and law-abiding, then go and sue me! If you truly serve the people wholeheartedly, then go and sue me!"
Gong Youlin was invited to have tea in the tea room of the Four Seasons Hotel. He usually lived a life of luxury and received bribes from casino owners and kidnappers. How could he have the confidence to sue Zhao Xiangwan?
Zhao Xiangwan's series of rhetorical questions made him feel guilty, and his arrogance was dampened. He turned around and cursed, "You ignorant kid."
Zhao Xiangwan lowered his head again and drank tea to moisten his throat.
From morning to afternoon, she talked a lot, her throat was already smoking. It was rare that she was relaxed and free now, not seeking to achieve anything, just to get some information out, anyway, she had to wait for the results of the DNA test, and in the end the director would always take action, it didn't matter. Even if she was sitting here and irritating Gong Youlin, watching him jump up and down, it was a pleasant thing.
Sure enough, Gong Youlin couldn't help it.
"Hey, you just said, investigate the illegal sale of knives, then what?"
Zhao Xiangwan raised his eyebrows: "I thought you were not interested."
Gong Youlin gritted his teeth.
[This little policewoman's words are really annoying. If she were my subordinate, she would have been exiled to the countryside eight hundred years ago.]
Before Gong Youlin lost his temper, Zhao Xiangwan slowly said, "Actually, this matter is really related to you. Otherwise, we wouldn't have disturbed your elegant pleasure of 'meeting and studying' in a five-star hotel."
Zhu Feipeng and Zhu Kang looked at each other.
This time, Zhao Xiangwan's words were not like knives, but like needles.
The needles poked Gong Youlin's sore spot one by one, which felt numb but did not draw blood, making it difficult for him to get angry.
Gong Youlin knew that he could not escape the blame for his "dereliction of duty" for enjoying himself in class today. Zhao Xiangwan made a few sarcastic remarks from time to time, but he had no way to refute him. He could only reply, "Speak quickly."
Gong Youlin is a man with high energy and a narrow mind. After being taken to the summons room today, he hated everyone. If he doesn't figure out who sued him and who is behind it, he will definitely not be able to sleep well.
Could it be that there were three rookies here? Gong Youlin decided to lower his profile and chat with them for a while to see if he could find out something.
Zhao Xiangwan continued to talk about the process of capturing Lu Fuqiang.
"The boss who sold the knife to the suspect is called Aqiang. He is not tall and thin. Just look at him, he is just an inconspicuous boss."
"Originally, we just wanted to teach him a lesson and then let him go. But when he saw our colleague, he was like he saw a ghost. He shouted, 'Uncle Dazhuang, don't turn into a ghost to catch me.' It was obvious that he had something to hide, so we re-interrogated him."
Gong Youlin leaned forward when he heard this and asked, "Which colleague of yours?"
Zhao Xiangwan pointed at Zhu Kang, who was lowering his head to take notes: "Him."
Zhu Kang raised his head and made eye contact with Gong Youlin.
Gong Youlin's pupils shrank, and he fell backwards, hitting the back of a chair with a muffled sound.
Gong Youlin stared at Zhu Kang blankly, his heart beating faster and faster.
【Uncle Dazhuang? 】
【He really looks like Uncle Dazhuang! 】
[Exactly the same eyebrows and eyes, exactly the same body shape and height. ]
[Even the look of contempt is exactly the same! ]
Zhao Xiangwan smiled, but there was a fire in his smile: "Are they similar?"
Gong Youlin was frightened and answered unconsciously: "Like..."
"Like whom?"
"Uncle Dazhuang."
"Where are the others?"
Gong Youlin suddenly came to his senses and looked at Zhao Xiangwan warily.
Zhao Xiangwan asked, "Your uncle Dazhuang is dead, right? He was murdered, and his family of six was wiped out, right?"
Gong Youlin felt a chill on his back.
His throat tightened a little, but he forced himself to calm down: "These are all old things. No one mentions them anymore."
Zhao Xiangwan asked: "Why don't you mention it again?"
Gong Youlin closed his mouth and said nothing.
At this moment, Gong Youlin realized that the policeman in front of him was not a rookie at all, but a very experienced interrogation expert.
Zhu Kang pushed the transcript to Zhu Feipeng and began to ask questions: "Gong Youlin, the tragic case of the 1975 massacre may be forgotten by others, but you will never forget it, right?"
龔有霖審視着祝康的面容，眯起雙眼：“你是誰？”
祝康沒有說話，與他目光對視，眼中有仇恨之光。
龔有霖腦中閃過一絲明悟：“你，是龔勇？”
他轉過臉，忽然開始呵斥趙向晚：“當事人能夠進入審訊室嗎？你們這是在搞什麽鬼！”
趙向晚聳聳肩：“看清楚了，他不是龔勇，只是長得像一個你害怕的人罷了。”
祝康姓祝，不姓龔。
龔有霖将信将疑。
【那件事之後，我從小灣村回到家，村民們一說起龔大壯家，都是六口滅門，只有我爸說勇伢子還活着。問他，他卻不肯說了。怎麽？怕我滅口？切！這就是我爸，膽小怕事的人。】
【我想問個清楚，為什麽說勇伢子還活着，那被殺的小男孩子是誰，卻被我爸喝止。他把我關在家裏不準出門，他好像知道了什麽，還要找道士來收我的魂，真是可笑！】
趙向晚的語速很慢，聲音卻很清晰：“據說，死于非命的人都會怨氣不散。這股怨氣遮住兇手的眼，所以……你看誰都像你殺過的人吧”
龔有霖大怒，霍地從椅中站起，惡狠狠地盯着趙向晚：“小警察，注意你的措辭！我沒有殺過人，也不怕什麽怨氣！我是警察，是派出所所長，我經得起組織的考驗，不是你可以肆意安放罪名的人！”
龔有霖眼中兇光畢露，祝康下意識地站起，橫跨一步，擋在趙向晚身前。
祝康迎上龔有霖的目光，絲毫不懼：“龔有霖，注意你的态度！這裏是審訊室，不是你嚣張跋扈的地盤！”
祝康這張面孔，刺痛了龔有霖的眼睛，他不得不敗下陣來，轉過臉去，态度也随之和緩下來：“大家都是警察，有話好好說，有證據擺證據，有事實說事實，不要無中生有。”
趙向晚點頭道：“行！那我們就擺事實，講道理。”
趙向晚拿起盧富強的證詞：“阿強，本名盧富強，羅縣蔡旗鄉小灣村人，1959年出生，于1977年離家，輾轉流浪多處，在星市火車站小商店市場開了一家刀具店。自述長年失眠，患有夢游症，只要一睡着就會拿刀砍人。”
說到這裏，趙向晚觀察着龔有霖的表情：“盧富強，你認識嗎？”
龔有霖眼睛微眯，不發一語。
【媽的！這狗東西不是已經死了嗎？】
【十幾年沒有和家裏人聯系，我和老盧都以為他死了！】
【真他媽陰魂不散。】
趙向晚繼續問：“龔有霖，盧富強你認識嗎？”
龔有霖不得不回話：“不認識。”
趙向晚：“怎麽會不認識呢？你不是原名龔四喜嗎？你和他是小學、初中同學，怎麽會不認識？”
龔有霖擡眸與趙向晚目光相對：“誰告訴你，我是龔四喜？”
【我換了名字，就是防着這小子出纰漏。】
【我75年讀高中的時候就遷了戶口，警察怎麽找到我的？】
趙向晚笑了：“16歲之前，你一直就是龔四喜，怎麽讀個高中，就連名字都不要了？”
龔有霖不置可否，依然追問：“誰告訴你，我是龔四喜？”
趙向晚：“還能有誰？你覺得能是誰？你以為改個名字，遷出戶口，就再也沒人知道你是龔四喜了？跟你一起在四季大酒店的龔一夏、龔二秋不是你親兄弟嗎？你父親龔大利不是還健在嗎？随便做個DNA檢測不就能證明了？”
趙向晚一字一句地說：“躲，是躲不過去的！”
【我爸說的？大哥、二哥承認了？真的是！】
龔有霖萬萬沒想到，千防萬防，家裏人卻拖了他的後腿。
其實，龔有霖一開始也沒想到在體制內混。他原本想着改個名字讀高中，然後遠走高飛再不回來，卻沒想到高中三年讀下來，他因為害怕兇殺案暴露而在圖書館翻看了許多刑偵書籍，理想竟變成了将來當一個警察。
只要當上警察，就能為自己布一道安全防線。只要盧富強或者盧尚武有什麽動靜，他第一時間就會知道，到時候是躲還是跑，反應最快。
後來時間一久，權利越來越大，再加上盧尚武當上局長，官運亨通，龔有霖膽子越來越壯，早就把二十年前的殺人案抛于腦後。
沒想到，在他差點遺忘掉龔四喜這個名字之後，盧富強竟然在異地被抓。
【這小子竟然真忍得住，十幾年不回老家看看。】
【他只要敢回，老子就敢弄死他！】
聽到這裏，趙向晚的眼中閃過寒芒：“龔四喜，你認識盧富強嗎？”
一想到家裏人都健在，DNA檢測做不得假，龔有霖的銳氣被挫，只得甕聲甕氣地回了一句：“認得。”
趙向晚：“發小吧？”
龔有霖的目光轉向左方：“小學、初中同學。”
趙向晚：“聽說你們同氣連枝，結拜為兄弟？”
龔有霖：“有這事？我不記得了。”
趙向晚輕輕一笑，笑聲似佛塔上挂着的鈴铛，明明清悠悅耳，卻令龔有霖心頭一震：她笑什麽？她為什麽要笑？難道阿強什麽都說了？
趙向晚說：“阿強說，你們當年的誓言是，不求同年同月生，但求同年同月死，是不是？”
龔有霖皺眉：“胡說八道。”
【老子活得有滋有味，誰要和你一起死？】
【三個人，就他膽子最小，屁用沒有。】
趙向晚看情緒醞釀得差不多了，這才揭開謎底：“盧富強承認1975年3月，犯下殺人大案，一起殺人的，還有三刀會的另外兩位兄弟，龔四喜、盧尚武。”
龔有霖沒有動。
他整個人僵在椅中，連眉毛眼睛都沒有動一下，仿佛被凍住的冰雕。
【他說了？他真的都說了？】
【老盧那邊不知道什麽情況。】
【媽的！死東西。】
一秒之後，龔有霖搖搖頭：“他是不是腦子不清白？完全是一派胡言！估計是一個人長期在外地生活，瘋了吧？警察同志，你們就憑他一句話，懷疑我？”
趙向晚忽然壓低了聲音：“為什麽選擇龔大壯？阿強說，是你出的主意，是你定的殺人對象。”
龔有霖根本不上她的當，大聲道：“你們信一個盲流，卻不信一個警察的話？他長期不和家裏人聯系，報失蹤多年銷了戶，法律上已經宣告死亡，這樣的人，說話有幾分可信度？他說是他殺的人，那他去償命，別拖其他人下水。我和他十幾年沒見，以前關系也一般，我可沒有參與殺人，別誣陷我。”
【想詐我？沒門！】
【為什麽殺龔大壯？誰叫他不借錢給我讀高中，還勸我安心在家裏種地，說什麽反正現在也沒辦法考大學，讀書沒有用。】
【要是讀書沒有用，他為什麽送柔妹子讀小學？為什麽要買買圖畫書給勇伢子？我呸！不就是怕我用了他的錢嗎？我讀書能花幾個錢？他有錢買收音機，卻沒錢送我讀書？他為富不仁，就該殺！】
【殺他一個有什麽意思？要殺，就得滅門。書上不是說過嗎？斬草除根。全家死光光，連個苦主都沒有，誰會為他申冤？】
原本趙向晚只是想側面了解一下龔大壯的犯罪心理，為下一步審訊做準備。可是當聽到他絲毫忏悔都沒有，殺人的原因只不過是為了對方不借錢，而滅門的原因只是為了斬草除根，趙向晚怒向膽邊生，恨不得一拳頭砸過去！
視人命如草芥，這樣的人也配當警察？！
趙向晚霍地站起：“龔四喜！”
她的聲音裏挾着雷電，蘊含着極強的能量，帶着濃濃的威懾力，龔有霖內心一個激靈，擡頭看向這個面容沉靜、雙目閃亮的小女警。
趙向晚走到鐵栅欄前，隔着欄杆，看着這個殺了人之後逍遙自在二十年、渾忘了身後屍身血海的龔四喜。
“人這一生，會做很多事，會犯很多錯。”
“有些錯，犯過了，改正就好。”
“有些錯，犯過了，卻是萬劫不複！”
略顯昏暗的審訊室裏，趙向晚眸光閃耀，龔四喜感覺自己仿佛被這道光捕捉，他想閉上眼睛，卻閉不上；他想挪開腳步，卻全身僵硬，難逃半步。
龔四喜掙紮着回應：“我，我不知道你在說什麽。”
趙向晚嘴角一勾，鳳眼微眯：“不！你知道我在說什麽。”
趙向晚翻開筆錄本，紙上密密麻麻都是字，她舉到栅欄之前：“看到了嗎？這是你父親的證詞。他說龔大壯滅門之後，他惶惶不可終日，就怕龔大壯一家冤魂索命。你父親告訴我們，二十年前年案發之後，你表現異常，你爺爺曾說要找道士驅鬼，是你親口承認，龔大壯一家是你所殺。”
龔四喜牙槽緊咬，跟着站起，擡起手狠狠捶打在鐵椅椅背之上。
【我爸是不是瘋了？】
【他告訴警察龔大壯一家是我殺的？】
【父告子，他可真行！】
發洩之後，龔四喜擡頭定定地看着趙向晚：“我爸說的這些我不知道，可能我當時被吓壞了，所以行為舉止異常，也是有的。我爸信迷信，所以才找道士來驅鬼。”
趙向晚目光閃動：“龔大利說，75年3月之後，你母親從你枕頭底下搜出一疊子錢，錢上還有血。”
“砰！”龔四喜擡腳踹了一腳椅子，“沒有，沒有這事。”
【蠢貨！一群蠢貨！把我送進牢裏，他們能有好日子過？】
“龔大利說，你連續做了一個星期拿刀砍人的嚴夢，直到盧尚武、盧富強來找你，你們仨在屋裏嘀咕了很長時間，你的情況才漸漸好轉。”
“砰！”龔四喜擡起腳，再一次踹了一腳椅子，“沒有，我不記得有這事。”
朱飛鵬大聲道：“龔四喜，你要是再動手動腳，我就以破壞公物為由逮捕你！”
龔四喜咬了咬牙，看一眼朱飛鵬，再看看門口面無表情的公安幹警，悻悻然坐回椅中。
【老子反正不承認。二十年前的事情了，誰能說得清楚？】
【死無對證的事，誰怕啊。】
雖然這麽安慰自己，但龔四喜的情緒還是被龔大利的絕然所牽動，恨得牙癢癢。
【我只要弄到一點好東西，都往家送。我爸抽的好煙、喝的好酒，哪一樣不是我送的呢？他吃我的、穿我的、用我的，竟然反水告我？死東西！】
【我們家六個，我是老四，總是被他們忽視。大哥是頂門戶、養老的，二哥是勤快的、做農活的，三姐是第一個女兒，做飯喂雞樣樣行，我媽離不開她。後面兩個妹妹是雙胞胎，模樣漂亮，我媽疼她倆疼得不行，只有我，他們一直不待見我。】
【明明我最有出息，為什麽有一點風吹草動，他們總是第一個放棄我？為什麽？】
終于探聽到一絲龔四喜的內心異動，趙向晚冷笑一聲：“龔四喜，你有兩個哥哥、一個姐姐、兩個妹妹，這麽多兄弟姐妹，為什麽還要組建一個三刀會？真是因為江湖義氣嗎？”
龔四喜沒有說話，雙手交叉置于胸前，雙腿前伸，一身的憊懶之氣。他用身體語言告訴趙向晚：你只管說，我反正不聽、不理、不回應。
趙向晚繼續說話：“因為親兄弟姐妹之間，也要争奪父母的關愛，結拜兄弟卻不需要，是不是？”
龔四喜感覺自己的內心最隐秘的那一道傷疤被撕開，血淋淋地，很痛。他那一直嚣張的臉色，終于有了變化，開始變得蒼白。
“結拜兄弟同氣連枝，歃血為盟，承載三刀會榮耀與責任，共建大業。”趙向晚念完他們的誓詞，停頓片刻，這才接着往下，“還記得你十六歲與盧尚武、盧富強一起說過的話嗎？”
龔四喜的臉色，更白了。
“即使是這樣，你依然不放心。你拉着他們和你一起，犯下滔天大案，一來平了你的心頭之恨，二來将你們三個牢牢捆綁在一起，誰也不會背叛誰，是不是？”
趙向晚将封存在證物袋中、二十年終見天日、寫在作業本上的幼稚誓言高高舉起，展示給龔四喜看：“多好的結拜兄弟，雖然有福沒有同享，但是有難同當，是不是？”
龔四喜被迫看向那個證物袋，整個人像屁股上安了彈簧一樣跳了起來，他快步如飛，奔到栅欄旁，死死地盯着那幹涸的血跡，那發黑的指紋，整個人似篩糠一般抖動起來。
趙向晚後退兩步，離龔四喜遠了一點，防止他暴起奪物。
“嗬嗬……”
龔四喜喉嚨裏忽然發出一陣奇怪的笑聲：“狗東西，竟然還把這玩意兒留着。”
【媽的！】
【有了這東西，躲不過了。】
【難怪今天又是取指紋，又是抽血，原來證據在這裏。】
祝康道：“老天有眼，是不是？”
“呸！”
龔四喜忽然轉過頭，往地上啐了一口濃痰。
在衆人嫌惡的表情中，龔四喜忽然說了一句與案件全然無關的話：“你們知道，我有幾個孩子？”
他也不在乎別人是否知道，徑直給出答案：“一個。”
趙向晚卻知道他在想什麽，故意說：“你是國家幹部，計劃生育政策要求的嘛。”
龔四喜搖搖頭，隔着栅欄與趙向晚目光相對：“計劃生育政策對我而言，什麽約束力都沒有，我想弄一張準生證，易如反掌。偷偷在外面再生兩個，讓我父母、兄弟幫着撫養，也不是難事。”
趙向晚問：“你的孩子是男是女？”
龔四喜道：“女兒。我只有一個女兒，龔dan。你們以為是丹鳳朝陽的丹嗎？不不不，就是單雙的單。我只生一個，把所有的父母之愛都給她。是男是女，并不重要。”
龔四喜的執念，是父母的關注與偏愛。
趙向晚順着他的話，故意刺激：“你做到了偏愛，可是你的父母呢？我看未必吧？你爸偏心老大，因為在農村大兒子是頂梁柱，是父母将來養老的倚仗；你媽偏心老五、老六，因為她們最小、最可愛，又是女孩子。你沒有二哥會幹農活，沒有三姐會做家務，除了會讀書，你什麽都不如，根本得不到父母的關注，是不是？”
龔四喜怔怔地看着趙向晚。
【她是誰？她為什麽這麽懂我？】
【從來沒有一個人，知道我心裏的痛！我唯一可以驕傲的東西，卻在初中畢業之後被無情地毀滅了！爸媽說沒有錢，不讓我再讀書。我只能找大壯叔借。】
【大壯叔家裏多好，他爹媽只有他一個兒子，他又只生了一兒一女，家裏人口少，吃的糧食就少，大壯叔還在縣城工廠當工人，有錢得很。】
【可是，他不肯借！他讓我腳踏實地，他讓我認命，就當一個農民。】
趙向晚的話語還在繼續：“然後呢？你得不到父母的關注，你必須不斷和兄弟姐妹争搶，所以你搞了個三刀會，所以你要幹掉讓你一直嫉妒的龔大壯？”
第一次有人直指內心，龔四喜整個人心神為之所奪，不由自主地跟着趙向晚的思路開始回答問題。
“嫉妒？我是嫉妒嗎？”
“也許，是嫉妒。”
“憑什麽我們家那麽窮，他們家那麽闊氣？”
“農村人都說什麽多子多福，我從來就不這樣認為！我覺得就是生多了，張嘴吃飯的人太多，所以才會越過越窮！”
“你看我家，生了六個，三兒三女，多少人都羨慕我爸媽。龔大壯家裏只有一兒一女，旁人都說他家人太少，将來要受欺負。可是呢？我們家住茅草屋，他們家蓋青瓦房。我們家天天吃粥，他們家頓頓大米飯；我們家只有過年才能吃上肉，他們家卻隔兩天廚房裏就飄出肉香味。”
趙向晚打斷他的話：“可是，那個時候大集體，大家日子過得都難，你爸媽能夠把你們六個養活已經很不容易。”
龔四喜說：“是！我知道我爸媽不容易，所以我不敢埋怨他們，但我卻還是看不慣龔大壯家啊。明明他們家有錢，明明只要借給我二十塊錢，我就能繼續讀高中，為什麽他不肯？他少買幾次肉、少給柔妹子做新衣裳，錢不就省出來了嗎？”
祝康聽得腦瓜子嗡嗡地響：“為什麽呢？他為什麽一定要借給你錢呢？那是他的錢！他有權力決定這個錢該借還是不該借。”
龔四喜冷笑一聲：“我看他就是故意的。他自己讀了高中，進城當工人，就看不得村裏人比他強，恨不得所有人都當文盲。龔大壯這個人，獨生子，獨得很！”
朱飛鵬搖頭嘆息：就因為不借錢，所以你要殺他全家？可怕！
龔四喜獰笑起來，在心中暗罵了一句：辱我者，必殺之！
趙向晚沒有追問細節，以免打斷他的思路：“然後，你就有錢讀書了？從龔大壯家的床頭櫃拿了錢，交了學費。進了高中之後，你的自信心重新找了回來，你爸媽看到你這麽會讀書，是不是經常誇你？當你考上警校的時候，你爸媽是不是特別開心？”
龔四喜整個人被眼前這張沾着血的誓詞所懾，陷入了一種奇怪的狀态。
他的理智要告誡他，不要再說話了，不要再說話了。
可是他的情感卻在不斷地催促他：再說一點，再多說一點。眼前這個女警才是最懂他的人，只是她懂得他想要的是什麽。
龔四喜的臉上有了真誠的笑意：“是，龔大壯家裏真有錢，我高中三年的學費都不愁了。我的成績不錯，年年都是前十名，考上警校的那一年，我爸媽笑開了花，他們誇我有出息，我大哥、二哥、三姐都很羨慕地看着我，那個時候，我覺得自己真的真的很高興。”
趙向晚臉上浮現出一個嘲諷的笑：“然後呢？警校畢業為什麽要回來？為了繼續顯擺自己？”
Gong Sixi glared at her and said, "How can you say I'm showing off? In ancient times, the top scholar in the imperial examination had to ride a horse and parade through the streets. I'm a police officer and I'm wearing a uniform. It's such a glorious thing that I have to let everyone see it, right?"
Zhao Xiangwan actually asked and answered him: "I saw it, so what? Can't people be more low-key?"
Gong Sixi said: "Walking at night in gorgeous clothes is the most painful thing in life. You are still young and don't understand."
Zhao Xiangwan smiled slightly, and suddenly changed his tone. In an instant, the interrogation room was filled with thunder and lightning.
"But... people's joys and sorrows are not the same."
"You care about it, but your parents don't."
"You want to show off, but your brothers and sisters are not happy about it."
"You probably don't know, right? When they knew we had evidence and Lu Fuqiang had pointed out that you were the murderer of Gong Dazhuang's family of six, your parents immediately confessed in the interrogation room, and told us with tears in their eyes that you were possessed by an ungrateful spirit and that you were a murderer."
Gong Sixi stared at Zhao Xiangwan blankly.
What was it for which he had fought all his life and achieved the glory of success?
He wants his parents to be proud of him!
No matter how much wealth he has, it can't make up for the emptiness in his heart.
He served his parents with good food and drink, and he led his brothers and sisters to make money, just because he wanted his family to be proud of him, and just because he wanted his parents to say: My fourth son, you are the most promising of my six children!
But what is the result?
Zhao Xiangwan looked at him and said, "Do you know? When your parents found out that you and your older brother were doing something illegal and that they would be arrested by the police and put in jail, what did your father say when he cried?"
Gong Sixi's eyes widened: "What did you say?"
Zhao Xiangwan laughed sarcastically: "He said that Si'er is the root of trouble. He became a policeman, but he is a black-hearted policeman. This is all Si'er's fault, and the eldest and second brothers cannot be blamed..."
It was as if a thousand sharp arrows were flying at him, piercing him like a hedgehog.
Gong Sixi just stood there, watching Zhao Xiangwan's mouth opening and closing, his mind went blank and his heart felt like it had fallen into an icy cave.
