Chapter 57 Unfair



Chapter 57 Unfair

◎Good people don’t live long, but bad people live a thousand years?◎

The members of the serious crime squad put down their wine bottles and chopsticks at the same time.

They all sat upright with bright eyes, staring at the middle-aged fat man who was staggering over.

The fat man was drunk and didn't notice anything unusual. He still walked towards this side with his legs spread wide and his eyes blurry.

The further we walked, the more lustful the fat man's eyes became.

[Damn, this boy is so handsome. Even when he's not smiling or talking, he's like a painting just sitting there. He's so damn handsome!] Zhao Xiangwan didn't have to listen carefully to tell what he was thinking from his eyes.

As soon as the fat man approached, Zhu Feipeng stood up and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Close to you guys..." The fat man burped, and the strong smell of alcohol made everyone frown.

Taking advantage of the alcohol, the fat man looked at Ji Zhao with squinted eyes and stretched out his right hand, heading straight for Ji Zhao's face.

The wind began to blow in Ji Zhao's world.

Before Zhu Feipeng moved, Ji Zhao's hand moved.

A pair of wooden chopsticks, as fast as lightning, stabbed straight into the fat man's hand.

Accurate and fast.

"Ah——" A cry of pain was heard, and the fat man shook his hands and took a step back.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Ji Zhao.

There was surprise in Zhu Feipeng's eyes.

——My goodness, Ji Zhao is really fast!

Zhao Xiangwan also saw this scene and his eyes lit up.

——Ji Zhao’s concentration and observation skills are different from ordinary people. If he were to learn shooting, he would definitely be a top-notch level!

The fat man held the beer glass in his left hand and looked down at his right hand. Two red and swollen marks on the back of his hand reminded him: this pretty girl actually hit him.

Although Ji Zhao's technique was fast, his strength was not strong. The fat man didn't feel much pain, but he felt very embarrassed. He immediately smashed the beer cup to the ground and said with a twisted mouth: "Shame on you!"

"Bang!" There was a crisp sound, the glass shattered, and the wine splashed everywhere.

Hearing this, the others at the next table all stood up, shouting incoherently: "Dare to make a move? You are stirring up trouble! This is evil!"

The guys in the serious crime squad were all excited. Zhu Feipeng laughed: "Why? Throwing the cup as a signal, are you going to fight?"

Liu Liangju almost died of laughter: "Come on, come on, give it a try."

Zhu Kang rubbed his hands, moved his ankles, and secretly glanced at Xu Songling, thinking to himself, after practicing for so long, the boxing and kicking skills can finally come in handy! Captain Xu was also here today, and he could see clearly that it was the other side who started the fight first, and we were just defending.

The hot pot shop owner was so scared that he ran over, clasping his fists and bowing: "Everyone, everyone, harmony brings wealth, let's talk it out nicely." He pointed across the street and said, "Our shop is right across from the Public Security Bureau. If anything happens, the police will come very quickly."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Feipeng knew that there would be no fight today.

Sure enough, the four people who were so arrogant just now suddenly turned their eyes to the leader Brother Fan, and their attitude became cautious.

Brother Fan stood up from his chair, smiling, and slowly walked to Xu Songling's table. His eyes lingered on Ji Zhao's face, with an indescribable evil in his eyes.

Brother Fan came over, his hands behind his back, calm and composed, and took out a business card and handed it to Ji Zhao: "This little brother is very talented, I wonder where he got his job? I'm Fan Hongwei from the Demolition Office of the Municipal Urban Construction Bureau. Is there a chance we can sit down and have some tea together?"

Without even raising his eyes, Ji Zhao threw the chopsticks in his hand to the ground willfully.

[It's dirty! ]

There was undisguised disgust in the boy's voice.

It was the first time someone threw chopsticks in front of him. Fan Hongwei's facial muscles twitched. He obviously didn't expect Ji Zhao to be so disrespectful. The four big men standing behind him also started shouting.

"What? You don't even give face to my brother Fan!"

"Boy, don't be shameless."

"If it weren't for your talent, why would Brother Fan come over to talk to you? You probably don't know Brother Fan's reputation in this industry, right?"

Zhu Feipeng stood up, took the business card from Fan Hongwei, glanced at it, and asked with a smile: "Hey, Director of the Demolition Office of the Urban Construction Bureau, Director Fan has great authority! From what your subordinates said, Director Fan has a great reputation in the underworld? I wonder which underworld?"

The four men who were shouting fiercely just now looked at Fan Hongwei and were stunned at the same time. What? The Public Security Bureau is just across the street. Who dares to call himself a gangster?

[Damn, who suggested eating hot pot opposite the Public Security Bureau? It's so fucking unpleasant! I really want to pick up a bottle of wine and fight them! Our Brother Fan has kung fu skills, and ten of them are no match for him. In the past few years of following Brother Fan, I have a formal organization, a salary, benefits, and can fight openly without anyone pursuing me. It's so cool.]

The fat man's inner voice was loud and clear, and could be heard clearly from two meters away. Zhao Xiangwan narrowed his eyes. This group of people turned from black to white, thinking that they could cover the sky with one hand and were extremely arrogant.

Fan Hongwei's eyes swept across the faces of the people at the table and met Xu Songling's stern, slightly dark face. His pupils shrank and he immediately recognized him. He quickly stretched out his hands and smiled.

"Oh, it's Captain Xu. This is really a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple. Family members don't recognize each other. I'm Fan Hongwei, you can just call me Old Fan."

Xu Songling extended his hand and shook his, with a half-smile on his face: "Director Fan, you are a cadre of the Party, you should not engage in underworld tricks."

Fan Hongwei was not embarrassed at all, and continued to smile freely and easily: "I was drunk, and the brothers were just joking. There is no such thing as the underworld or the road."

Seeing Fan Hongwei's attitude become so humble, the fat man asked in confusion, "Brother Fan, who is this person?"

Fan Hongwei raised his hand and slapped him hard on the arm: "Behave yourself! This is the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Officer Xu Songling."

The fat man and the other three men shrank their necks, and thought, "Oh my god, we have met an evil star." Xu Heimian's name is well-known in the underworld. Today, he went out without checking the almanac, and he met a real god.

Gao Guangqiang, who was sitting next to Xu Songling, raised his eyelids and snorted coldly: "Fan Hongwei, Cao Deren, do you two still recognize me?"

The fat man's name was Cao Deren, and he was Fan Hongwei's loyal follower. When he heard the other party call out his name accurately, he squinted at Gao Guangqiang, trying to identify this middle-aged man with a fat body and wrinkled face.

After a while, Cao Deren asked hesitantly, "Gao, Officer Gao?"

Fan Hongwei stared at Gao Guangqiang, his pupils shrank, and his face twitched: "Gao, Officer Gao?"

[Damn, how did this guy get into the serious crime squad? He knows all about my shameful past. It's fucking unlucky to meet him at this time.]

Gao Guangqiang said coldly: "You are a forgetful person. It seems Director Fan has forgotten all about the past."

Although Gao Guangqiang has only been in the Serious Crime Unit for a short time, he is kind and calm, and has the demeanor of an elder, so he quickly got along well with everyone. No one has ever heard him speak to others in such a gloomy tone, which makes everyone feel a little strange.

Fan Hongwei's eyes sparkled, he laughed, motioned his younger brother to bring a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp: "We are old friends, I'll drink first as a sign of respect."

After drinking, Fan Hongwei didn't say another word and left with his men after paying the bill.

Inside the hot pot restaurant, the atmosphere in the serious crime squad was a little heavy.

Zhu Feipeng looked at Gao Guangqiang, who had a gloomy face. "Old Gao, are you familiar with these people? Why do you look so different when you see them?"

The others nodded as well. Yes, Gao Guangqiang is a generous person who never cares about personal gains and losses. He has the best relationships with people in the entire Public Security Bureau. Why did he become a little weird when he saw this guy named Fan?

Xu Songling poured Gao Guangqiang some wine and consoled him, "There's no need to get angry with people who have nothing to do with each other. Old Gao, come on, let's drink."

Gao Guangqiang picked up his wine glass and sighed: "Ten years ago, Fan Hongwei and Cao Deren were truck drivers at the city transportation company. They were taken to the police station for fighting. I worked at the Wufulu Police Station at the time and handled the fight with Cai Chang. Fan Hongwei had practiced martial arts and was ruthless. He beat the other party one against three and sent them to the hospital. If the other party insisted on suing him, he and Cao Deren would inevitably go to jail.

Tsai Chang, Fan Hongwei and Cao Deren were elementary school classmates. Fan Hongwei's father knelt down to plead for mercy, begging him to mediate. Tsai Chang softened his heart and took Fan Hongwei's father to the hospital to plead for mercy. There were three people on the other side, and their injuries were serious. Fan Hongwei was a ruthless guy. One of them broke two ribs, a second-degree minor injury; one of them had severe vision loss in his left eye, a first-degree minor injury; and another had a ruptured spleen capsule, a first-degree minor injury.

According to the regulations, the crime of intentional injury is punishable by one year. I don't know what Tsai Chang was thinking, but after his mediation, the other party reached a compensation agreement and no case was filed. The Fan family paid the money, but neither Fan Hongwei nor Cao Deren had a criminal record. Because of this incident, Tsai Chang and I had a few arguments.

I remember that Tsai Chang told me at the time that if a fight like this were to be investigated, sent to court, and go through the entire litigation process, it would be a complete waste of social resources and unnecessary. As long as one party sincerely repented, paid money, and received forgiveness, the offender could be given a chance to reform. Fan Hongwei and Cao Deren were only in their twenties, and were full of vigor and vitality. If they were sent to prison, their lives would be over. It would be better to reconcile. "

Gao Guangqiang drank the wine in his hand in one gulp and sighed: "I disagreed with Cai Chang at the time. I thought that evil people like Fan Hongwei should be sent to prison for reform, but Cai Chang insisted at the time, and I didn't say much. Cai Chang and I have worked together for many years. He is kind-hearted and always considerate of others. He is really a very, very good person."

Xu Songling glanced at him and said, "Cai Chang? The deputy director of Wufulu Police Station?"

Recalling the past, Gao Guangqiang's eyes turned red: "Yeah."

五福路派出所?趙向晚立刻想到行李箱藏人案,當時湛曉蘭失蹤,湛萍與賈俊楠報案的派出所就是五福路派出所,當時負責的兩名警官一個是趙向晚的師兄黃毅,另一個是未老頭先白的姚國誠。

重案組所有人交換了一個眼神。

【原來是蔡副所長被殺的舊案,唉!這件事……當年轟動全市,只可惜什麽也沒查出來。】

趙向晚一頭霧水。蔡副所長被殺案,她怎麽不知道?如果是轟動全市的案了,為什麽她在公安大學的課堂上沒有聽教授們提及?

趙向晚擡頭看向許嵩嶺:“師父,什麽情況?”

許嵩嶺看一眼高廣強,似乎是怕觸動他的傷心事。

高廣強性格溫和,見趙向晚好奇,便耐心地解釋:“那是十年前的舊事。我調來公安局重案組之前,一直在五福路派出所當刑警,和蔡暢出生入死,情同兄弟。82年2月,蔡暢當上副所長,我打心眼裏為他高興,兩人一起吃飯、喝酒,然後分手。第二天,他的屍體在回家的那條巷子裏被發現……”

喉頭一陣哽咽,高廣強根本說不下去。

聽到蔡暢二字,重案組所有人都知道是怎麽回事。這個案子,是對星市公安系統的挑釁,也是銘刻在星市公安幹警心頭上的痛。

——蔡暢副所長,在一個寒冷的冬夜被人殘忍殺害,配槍被奪。此案一出,震驚全市,公安幹警全力偵查,卻一全所獲。三個月後,星市第三人民醫院胡琳珍醫生全家被殺,用的正是蔡暢配的五四式手.槍,兩案并一,至今未破。

許嵩嶺拍了拍高廣強的肩膀,長嘆一聲,目光掃過桌上所有人,語重心長地說道:“蔡暢一案,影響重大。自此市局規範了配槍規定,出警時申請,簽字後方可領取,完成任務之後歸還,同樣也要簽字。國家對槍支管理十分嚴格,就是怕被犯罪分子利用。你們想想,如果誰都可以拿到槍,這世上人命案會多多少!”

朱飛鵬撓撓頭,點頭道:“我懂!所以……雖然有時候我會覺得麻煩,但從來都沒有違反過規定。”

桌上忽然就陷入沉默。

警察被殺、配槍被劫,十年未破,這是公安系統的奇恥大辱。因此每年刑警入職教育,都會提一遍,但也僅限于內部教育,從來不曾寫進教科書,也不會被行外人提及。

所以,這個案子重案組的每個人都知道,但是還在讀書的趙向晚卻不清楚。

高廣強咬着牙,含着淚:“蔡暢是個好人,看樊弘偉、曹得仁年輕,認罪态度良好,出面調解,獲得被打那一方的諒解,口頭教育一番,便把他們放了,沒有留下案底。但是你看,十年過去,樊弘偉、曹得仁變好了嗎?呵呵……”

最後這一聲“呵呵”滿是辛酸,說不盡的惆悵。

聽到這裏,趙向晚低頭喝了一口汽水。桔子味的冰汽水滑過喉嚨,涼意沁人。

剛才樊弘偉、曹得仁走過來和衆人打招呼時,趙向晚想要探聽二人心聲,卻只聽到他們對季昭容貌的驚豔、各種绮念。似乎這就是兩個酒色之徒,膽大包天,看到美人就想調戲。

可是聽完高廣強的話,趙向晚對樊弘偉産生了一絲疑惑:一個運輸公司的貨車司機,一個因為打架鬥毆差點留下案底的混混,是怎麽混進城建局、獲得正規編制,成為拆遷辦主任的?

高廣強整個人陷入回憶之中,心情很是沉重。

“十年了,蔡暢犧牲已經十年,可是到底是誰殺了他,到現在也不知道。蔡暢是家中獨子,新婚不久,他這一走,妻子改嫁,父母先後去世,每年清明上墳,冷冷清清。可是你看,十年時間過去,樊弘偉卻當上了國家機關幹部。好人不長命,壞人活千年啊,唉!”

高廣強的眼神裏滿是渴望,灼燒着重案組所有成員的心:“十年了,這件事壓在我心頭十年,沉甸甸的。蔡暢是個好人,心地善良、為人熱情,只要轄區居民有需要,他都盡心盡力地幫忙,可是……那晚我不該放他一個人回去,我根本沒想到會有人敢對警察下手!”

朱飛鵬是個熱心腸,最愛破案,尤其是懸案、疑案,越難越覺有興致,再加上喝了點酒,熱血沸騰,當下便一拍桌子:“老高,我幫你!”

許嵩嶺沉吟不語。

這件案子當年轟動全市,整個公安系統的力量都投入進來,該查的、該問的、該審的,都查了個遍。時隔十年,所有線索都難以追查,現在重啓,難度太大太大。

蔡暢是工農兵大學生,根正苗紅,科班出身,能夠在二十八歲就當上派出所副所長,與他出色的刑偵能力、為人處世水平是分不開的。

可惜,剛當上副所長不久,就在深夜被人打死在小巷,配槍被奪。排除了情殺、仇殺、劫財這些選項之後,只剩下一條——犯罪分子看中了他身上的槍,想要幹一票大案。

這樣一來,牽扯的人就多了。

三個月之後,三醫院家屬樓滅門慘案發生,家中財物被搶,配槍被發現,這個判斷更是得到驗證:犯罪分子殺人是為了搶槍,搶槍的目的是為了入室搶劫。

二案合一,市局重案組當年查了個底朝天,偏偏什麽也沒有查出來。1982年的刑偵手段有限,留下的證據很少。茫茫人海,怎麽查?

想到這裏,許嵩嶺看向高廣強:“老高,你的心情我能理解,但此案牽太大,又已經過了十年,查起來難度太大。”何況,公安局查案也有流程要走,并不能随心所欲,想查什麽就查什麽,想查誰就查誰。

高廣強有些郁悶地垂下頭,長嘆一聲,轉過臉去。

朱飛鵬看許隊不同意重啓蔡暢被殺案,安慰高廣強:“老高,莫氣餒。天理昭昭,或許會出現轉機。”

衆人都紛紛出言安慰。

“是啊,老高,別氣餒,這個案子大家都記在心上,只等兇手露出馬腳。”

“對,醫院副院長一家被殺,現場留下三個腳印、一個模糊的指紋,現在還存在檔案裏呢。”

“現在咱們一點線索都沒有,啓動舊案偵查時機不成熟,你別急。”

這麽多同事寬慰,高廣強內心的沉痛漸漸消散,只是吃飯的心思卻沒有了,一杯接一杯地喝着酒。

酒飽飯足,衆人起身走出火鍋店。

重案組這一波人馬,除高廣強、許嵩嶺、劉良駒成了家,其餘都是單身漢,住單位宿舍。一起往宿舍樓走過去的路上,朱飛鵬看許嵩嶺不在,忽然開口說:“向晚,我們要不要查一查蔡暢被殺案?”

在朱飛鵬眼中,趙向晚就是重案一組的福将,只要是她想查的案子,就沒有查不出來的。當時沉寂八年的校園投毒案,就是因為趙向晚想要查徐俊才,這才無意間找到這份檔案,進一步重啓此案,最終查了個水落石出。

趙向晚雖然年紀小,但運籌帷幄、冷靜強大,展現出超強的邏輯推理能力。像周荊容這麽隐蔽的投毒手法,馮莉莉那麽強大的心理素質,不是也被她想辦法逼兩人說出真相嗎?

會不會……有沒有可能……這一樁十年前集所有公安力量都沒有偵破的懸案,能被她偵破?

趙向晚聽到朱飛鵬的心聲,既沒有說查,也沒有說查。

半晌,她擡頭看一眼圍牆邊盛開的夾竹桃,夜色下繁茂而美麗,隐約飄過來一陣花香。

趙向晚的聲音有些悠悠的:“你們有沒有覺得,這個世道有時候并不公平。”

朱飛鵬沒有聽明白:“不公平?什麽不公平?”

季昭沒有打擾他們閑聊,安靜地傾聽着。

趙向晚說:“樊弘偉一個當年受了蔡暢恩惠的小混混,十年後當上城建局拆遷辦主任,帶着一群狐朋狗友、吆五喝六,喝小酒,調戲美人,日子過得滋潤得很。可是當年幫助過他們的蔡暢呢?英年早逝,家人皆亡,只剩一座孤墳、一份卷宗、一聲喟嘆。公平嗎?不公平!”

夜風吹來,這一群血氣方剛的年輕人忽然就激動起來。

平時最溫和的何明玉,咬着牙把剛才就想說的話說了出來:“蔡暢被殺案我入行的時候就聽領導說了,那個時候吧,我就是覺得以前配槍外出一定要慎之又慎,哪怕拼着性命不要,也不能丢了槍。可是今晚聽老高說起蔡暢,一個活生生的人就仿佛站在面前,心裏很不是滋味,那是我們同行,是一個優秀警察,卻因為配槍被兇手殺害。而兇手拿着槍,犯下滅門慘案,四條人命啊,到現在都沒有找到兇手蹤跡,這是我們星市公安系統的恥辱!”

朱飛鵬重重擊掌:“蔡暢被殺,可是當年他幫助過的小混混卻飛黃騰達,用老高的原話說,好人命不長,壞人活千年,不公平!”

個子瘦小的祝康也恨恨地跟了一句:“媽的,不公平!”

書生氣十足的黃元德嘆了一聲:“要不是蔡暢幫忙,樊弘偉肯定會留下案底,哪裏還有機會重新做人,進入政府機關,切!”

高大強壯的艾輝虎着臉:“以後千萬別幫助那些惡人,必須痛打落水狗!”

想到剛才樊弘偉、曹得仁試圖調戲季昭,趙向晚冷笑一聲:“查不了蔡暢舊案,難道我們查不了樊弘偉這個拆遷辦主任?我就不信了,像這種打架鬥毆打斷他人手腳的人,像這種當街調戲人的爛人,還能當上國家幹部?肯定有問題!”

朱飛鵬躍躍欲試:“對!我剛才就想和他們打一架的。要不是有紀律要求,要不是有許隊盯着,就沖他們敢調戲季昭,我已經動手了。”

季昭聽到自己的名字,目光突然轉向朱飛鵬。

朱飛鵬對上他的眼神,不自覺地被那墨玉般的眸子所吸引,嘆道:“季昭啊,季昭,你這張臉實在是太漂亮,走出去不安全啊。”

季昭眉頭微蹙,似乎有些苦惱。

趙向晚瞪了朱飛鵬一眼:“季昭生得好又不是他的錯,錯的是那些思想肮髒的人!電影裏、電視裏漂亮的男女多了去了,難道為了躲避那些色狼,都躲在家裏不出去嗎?”

朱飛鵬領教到趙向晚對季昭的維護,嘿嘿一笑:“你對,你對。”

祝康還記得趙向晚剛才說的話:“向晚,你的意思是不是要我們悄悄查一查樊弘偉這個拆遷辦主任的底細?像原本我們查徐俊才一樣?”

趙向晚點頭:“對。”

直覺告訴她,樊弘偉絕非善類。敢觊觎季昭,那就等着被查吧!

何明玉有些興奮地搓了搓手:“那,我明天就去檔案室查一查,看看有沒有和樊弘偉相關的卷宗。”

朱飛鵬也來了興致:“我明天去城建局轉轉,打聽打聽拆遷辦是什麽來頭。”

祝康等人也跟着說:“行,明天正好沒什麽事,我們把精力集中在樊弘偉這邊。”

世道若不公,那我們就來把這世道管一管!

這幫子年輕人在趙向晚的鼓動之下,達成某種協議。

而此刻,城市的某一個角落裏,樊弘偉哼着小曲回到家。

走到三樓,樊弘偉拿出鑰匙打開門。三房兩廳的單位宿舍裝修得富麗堂皇,玉蘭花的牆紙、真皮沙發、全房歐式家具,亮晶晶的水晶吊燈、彩色大理石地磚,和樓梯間的樸素陳舊形成鮮明對比。

屋裏一絲聲音都沒有。

樊弘偉皺了皺眉,将鑰匙往門邊櫃子上一砸,發出“咚!”地一聲,醉意十足地喊了一聲:“人呢?死哪去了?”

一個身穿棉質睡裙的女人從屋裏匆匆跑出,滿臉驚恐,壓低聲音道:“兒子睡着了,你別吵着他。”

樊弘偉斜着眼睛看一眼妻子顧文嬌,腦中閃過季昭那張漂亮得像仙子一般的臉龐,腹中邪火直冒,快步上前,一把将女人攬入懷中,推倒在沙發,便想要行男女之事。

顧文嬌眼中閃過痛苦,強忍着內心的嫌惡,哀求道:“兒子剛睡着,莫吵醒了他,你想要,那就進屋去做。”

樊弘偉一只手扣住她肩膀,另一只捏住她下巴,強行将她的頭擡起,雙目微微眯起,審視着顧文嬌的眼睛。

酒氣濃重,熏得顧文嬌有些喘不過氣來,她偏過頭,正露出頸脖間青紫的指印。

——這是被手掐出來的痕跡。

一看到這青紫痕跡,樊弘偉的眼睛裏忽然閃過瘋狂,帶着嗜血的渴望,扣住顧文嬌肩膀的手力量忽然加重。

顧文嬌太熟悉他的反應,察覺到樊弘偉漸漸粗重的呼吸,肩膀處的疼痛越來越劇烈,開始掙紮。她不敢尖叫,害怕動靜太大驚醒孩子,但肌肉緊繃,進入全面戒備狀态。

看到手底下顧文嬌沉默的掙紮、柔弱的恐懼,樊弘偉內心興奮達到頂點,一把将她摁倒在沙發,右手揮起、落下。

一下、兩下、三下。

沉悶的皮肉擊打之聲,在客廳回響。

顧文嬌力氣小,根本掙脫不了,只能抱住頭,默默承受着樊弘偉的毆打,死死咬住雙唇,眼中淚水落下。

時間過得特別慢。

顧文嬌躺在沙發上,像條死魚一般。她看着天花板,那一盞水晶吊燈很亮,亮得刺眼,垂下來的璎珞在微微晃動着,晃得頭暈。

左邊胳膊痛得已經沒有知覺了,右邊胳膊還在一下一下地承受着抽打,不過好在雙手抱頭護住了臉,不至于明天出去見不了人。

這樣的日子,何時是個頭啊……

不知道過了多少時候,樊弘偉看顧文嬌一幅死人樣,不掙紮、不反抗,頓時覺得索然無味,轉了轉發酸的右手,從她身上站起來,居高臨下看着她,呸了一口:“起來!給老子倒杯茶。”

顧文嬌慢慢坐起,将喉嚨口那股帶着血腥味的唾沫咽下,擡手将散亂的頭發挽到耳後,熟練地檢查自己的身體狀況。

胳膊巨痛無比,估計青紫、紅腫少不了。不過手、腳還能動,看來骨頭沒有斷;

臉頰因為被胳膊護住,應該沒有傷痕,但因為震動沖擊,依然有些疼痛;

胸口、腰腹都沒有被打,沒有疼痛感。

最終顧文嬌得出結論:樊弘偉沒有朝要害處下手,她今晚算是渡過了一劫。

顧文嬌站起身,拖鞋早就不知道被甩到哪裏,她也不敢尋找拖鞋,赤着腳,像個游魂一樣向廚房走去。

樊弘偉悻悻然再一次呸了一口:“無趣!”一開始打她,顧文嬌還會反抗,一邊尖叫一邊奮力反擊的模樣實在是可愛之極。可是越到後來,越沒意思,顧文嬌不動不叫不反抗,像一條放在砧板上任他宰割的魚,一點成就感都沒有,讓他越來越沒有興趣。

顧文嬌忍着痛,到廚房倒了一杯茶,看着玻璃杯裏暗紅的涼茶茶水,她嘴角扯了扯,往杯子裏吐了一口唾沫。

唾沫帶着血沫,很快就與涼茶融為一體,什麽也看不出來。

顧文嬌端着茶送到樊弘偉手中,眼裏不自覺帶出絲興奮。

樊弘偉警覺地看了她一眼,右手一擡,一杯茶盡數潑在她臉上:“賤貨!”

樊弘偉的臉色陰沉得可怕,一拳頭過去,徑直擂向顧文嬌的前胸。顧文嬌胸口一陣劇痛,引發咳嗽,一股鹹腥味湧上來,“嘔……”地一聲,她吐了。

嘔吐物裏夾雜着一些血沫,看着很吓人。可是顧文嬌卻不哭不喊,迅速雙手抱住身體,蜷縮成一團,蹲在嘔吐物旁邊。結婚六年,她太了解樊弘偉,越反抗他越起勁,不如以靜制動,或許還能早點結束這個過程。

樊弘偉果然住了手,他居高臨下看着顧文嬌,厲聲呵斥道:“倒杯茶都倒不好,我還要你這個老婆做什麽?”

顧文嬌沒有說話。

樊弘偉看她沒有反應,心中那股邪火又升了上來,他冷哼一聲:“你就是個沒用的東西,是個眼睜睜看着自己媽媽被殺而不知道反抗的廢物,除了我,誰還會要你?!”

不堪的往事、痛苦的回憶湧入腦海,成功激怒原本已經失去鬥志的顧文嬌,她猛地擡頭:“我沒有不反抗!我只是不知道她會被人殺害,我不知道——”

樊弘偉嫌惡地看一眼客廳地板上的嘔吐物,操起手中玻璃杯,狠狠砸向顧文嬌:“你就是個慫貨,沒用的慫貨!”

肩膀被玻璃杯砸中,顧文嬌的身體晃了晃。

“砰!呲——”

杯子砸在地面,玻璃碎片四散迸裂。

卧室房門突然打開,一個五歲左右的小男孩穿着棉綢睡衣,赤腳站在地面,帶着哭腔喊:“媽媽,爸爸……”

樊弘偉停止毆打,橫了顧文嬌一眼,丢下一屋子狼狽,跨過地面玻璃渣子,抱起兒子,滿臉堆笑:“天寶,來,爸爸抱,不怕不怕,爸媽鬧着玩呢。”

顧文嬌抱臂蹲在地面,看着地面碎裂的玻璃碎片,眼中淚水終于落下,嘴裏喃喃自語:“媽媽,媽媽……”

生活是怎麽變成這樣的呢?

顧文嬌的人生原本一切順利。

1982年5月,顧文嬌二十歲,還在大專讀護理專業,在身為護士長的媽媽周金鳳的安排下,進入第三人民醫院婦産科當實習護士,眼看着五月底實習一結束,就能順利畢業,分配進三醫院接母親的班,這就是她清晰的人生軌跡。

顧文嬌的父親在五福路郵政局工作,因為母親所在的三醫院住房條件不錯,就在母親這邊申請了住房。七十年代末蓋的新樓房,兩房一廳,五樓磚混結構,顧文嬌現在都記得,當時全家人搬進四樓新房的時候,看着窗明幾淨、寬敞舒适的房子,歡喜得跳了起來。

The suite, two bedrooms and one living room, was over 70 square meters, which was an extremely superior housing condition in the 1980s. If Zhou Jinfeng had not been a head nurse, had high qualifications, strong professional skills, and good interpersonal relationships, she would not have been able to get one. However, on May 15th, everything changed.

That day, her father was away on a business trip, so Gu Wenjiao and her mother worked the day shift together. After taking a shower at nine o'clock in the evening, the mother and daughter sat happily on the sofa watching TV.

The hit TV series "Huo Yuanjia" was being played on the black and white TV. The mother and daughter were so engrossed in watching it that suddenly a loud noise came from upstairs.

"Bang!"

Zhou Jinfeng was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the balcony, frowned and asked: "What's going on in your Aunt Hu's family?"

At the critical moment, Gu Wenjiao waved her hand nonchalantly: "Ignore them, look, Huo Yuanjia is about to go on stage!"

Zhou Jinfeng pricked up his ears and listened. Every household was watching TV, and the same music and dialogue were coming from outside.

The loud noise just now seemed like an auditory hallucination and had never appeared.

At the end of the second episode, the ending theme song "Who Knows My Heart" began playing on TV.

"Floating with the wind, the road ahead is long. Life must be fought, so there will be no less worries.

Sharing the joys and sorrows, who cares how much the joys and sorrows are. Now that I have you by my side, who cares about the road ahead.

Endless, ominous..."

The mother and daughter listened attentively, and were immersed in the plot and could hardly extricate themselves.

"Zhao Qiannan is so pitiful."

"Yes, even Huo Yuanjia, as a great hero, has his moments of helplessness."

"Bang!"

Suddenly, there was another loud noise from upstairs. Gu Wenjiao and Zhou Jinfeng looked at each other and turned their gaze from the TV to the door.

"What's going on?"

"Did Aunt Hu's cabinet upstairs fall over? It made such a loud noise."

"Let me take a look. Why did the cabinet fall over? Could it be that the couple had a fight?"

Upstairs is the top floor of the fifth floor, where Zhou Jinfeng's good friend, Dr. Hu Linzhen, lives. Hu Linzhen's husband, Xiong Tao, is the director of a savings bank. Like Zhou Jinfeng's family, he has only one daughter, and the family conditions are not bad. In the past two years, for some reason, the couple has always quarreled and has not been at peace.

Hearing this loud noise, Zhou Jinfeng thought that Hu Linzhen and Xiong Tao were fighting again, and hesitated whether to go up and persuade them to stop fighting.

Gu Wenjiao didn't like Xiong Tao. She always felt that he was arrogant after he had some money. When they met him in the corridor, he liked to show off the international brand handbag under his arm and the brand gold watch on his wrist. He would occasionally ridicule her.

"Your mother is a nurse, why does she want you to be a nurse? Listen to your uncle Xiong's advice, nurses are just serving people, the salary is low, the work is tiring, and the night shift lasts all night, and you can't even take care of the family. As a woman, you just need to take care of the family, why bother yourself so much!"

But Xiong Tao was the elder, so Gu Wenjiao could not talk back and could only respond with a few random words. Later, whenever she saw Xiong Tao, Gu Wenjiao would consciously avoid him, so as not to be dazzled by the gold watch on his wrist and hurt by his smug and boastful face.

Seeing her mother was about to go up to meddle in other people's business, Gu Wenjiao curled her lips and said, "Mom, don't bother with them. They fight when a couple fights, but they make up at the foot of the bed. If you go over there, you'll be annoying."

Zhou Jinfeng hesitated for a moment: "Okay..."

"Boom!" Before he finished speaking, there was another loud noise.
