Chapter 20: A couple quarreled and murdered each other (20) The truth...
Sun Bingyuan closed his eyes and said resignedly: "This all started four years ago--"
"Four years ago, my sister was admitted to university. On the day she received the admission letter, my parents were not happy. Instead, the atmosphere at home was very heavy. Going to university requires money. My family is from the countryside, and it is very difficult to come up with such a large sum of money. So my parents started to discuss it behind my sister's back."
"That day my parents were discussing in the big bedroom, and my sister was wiping tears in the small bedroom. She probably knew her parents wouldn't let her go to college. I went into the big bedroom and chatted with my parents. My father said that since she was a girl, she would get married in the future. So what if she went to college? Wouldn't it be training talents for other families? It would be better to save the money and use it to marry me in the future."
"My mother kept sighing. She said that fate was a trick of hers. Her son, who should have been admitted to university, turned out to be a naughty boy, while her daughter, who should not have been admitted to university, did. It would be great if the fates of the two could be switched."
"After she finished speaking, she started staring at my face for a long, long time. We are twins, a boy and a girl. My sister and I look exactly the same. Because our family was poor and we didn't have much meat to eat, I grew up very thin, with slender hands and feet. Adults always laughed at me for looking like a girl."
"Then my mother asked me to wait in the house while she went out. After a while, she got a woman's wig from somewhere and forced me to put it on. I put it on reluctantly, and then she pulled me in front of the mirror and kept looking at myself in the mirror, saying that I looked too much like my sister."
"I had already vaguely guessed what she wanted to do, but I didn't dare to say anything. My mother let go of my hand and went to my sister's room happily. She told my sister that she was willing to pay for the tuition. My sister was overjoyed and knelt on the ground. She said she was grateful for my mother's kindness and that she would definitely honor my mother when she made money in the future."
"But my mother immediately said that the tuition fee could be paid, but it was not my sister who would go to college, but me. I would dress up as a woman and go to college in her place."
"My sister couldn't believe it at all. She rolled on the ground like a madman, crying and making a fuss. My parents picked her up and locked her in the master bedroom and tried to persuade her for a long time. I don't know what they said, but my sister finally gave in and agreed with my mother's idea."
"After the summer vacation, my sister and I went to the city together. My sister went to the university to complete the entrance physical examination first, and then I took her place and entered the university. During these four years, I wore a wig, women's clothes, and sometimes makeup. In order to prevent others from seeing, I also wore a pair of fake breasts. It was extremely hot every summer."
Hearing this, Ma Shi Tu also asked the question: "When you normally speak, can't others tell that you are a man?"
Sun Bingyuan blushed slightly: "I can use falsetto, which means I can make a woman's voice, but I usually only say one or two words to others. I'm afraid I'll be exposed if I say too much."
Ma Shi Tu opened his eyes wide: "Can you show us now?"
The nosy Yuan Xiaohu squeezed in from the door, and Captain Liao also came over. Sun Bingyuan cleared his throat awkwardly and said in a woman's voice:
"Hello, officers."
The voice he pretended to be was so soft and tender that even Sang Luo felt his bones tingling, not to mention the other men at the scene. Yuan Xiaohu muttered to himself, "Oh my god, no wonder Du Lingfeng is so obsessed with it. If I heard this voice, I would be fooled too. It's too scary..."
After showing off his fake voice, Sun Bingyuan himself felt very embarrassed: "I didn't want to be neither male nor female. It's all my mom's fault. She made me look like this! I used to be a normal man, but in college I pretended to be a woman every day. Even when I looked in the mirror, I felt disgusted!"
"I have had girls I like in the past few years, but I didn't dare to confess my feelings. Even if they took the initiative to be friends with me, I would refuse because I was afraid. I was afraid of being exposed! I didn't dare to make friends or participate in group activities. My classmates said I was a loner, but I actually had my own reasons!"
"So, what's the story behind your relationship with Du Lingfeng?" Sang Luo asked.
Sun Bingyuan was somewhat disdainful: "Him? That's not even love, it's just exploitation."
"I had no choice. I was forced to do so. I'm a man. How could I live in a female dormitory? So I had to rent a house by myself. But my family was so poor that they could only afford my tuition. They couldn't afford the rent. I rented a house during my freshman year. When I was a sophomore, my mother told me that our family had no money and I had to find a way to pay for the rent myself."
"It just so happens that I have quite a few suitors. It's funny to say that these men, as long as a woman is pretty, they will pounce on her, regardless of anything else. I picked the richest one among them, Du Lingfeng, and asked him to pay for my rent and future living expenses, and he agreed."
Sang Luo nodded. It seemed that Sun Bingyuan only approached Du Lingfeng for money. He had no feelings for Du Lingfeng. Du Lingfeng did not meet a "gold digger" but a "gold digger". It turned out that men understand men best.
"Du Lingfeng comes from a wealthy family and is not very cunning, so he is easily deceived," Sun Bingyuan said with a proud look on his face as he recalled the past. "In short, he was my scapegoat for several years, and during this time he never knew that I was a man."
"During the time we were together, he sometimes touched me. Later, I made a rule for him that we couldn't have any intimate contact before marriage. He thought I was chaste, so he agreed."
"Although my voice is very feminine, I didn't dare to talk too much for fear of being exposed, so I told Du Lingfeng that I like to communicate through letters and hoped that we would write more letters and talk less in the future. Du Lingfeng thought I was being romantic and agreed."
Ma Shi Tu couldn't help but ask: "There are so many doubts about you, has Du Lingfeng never asked about it?"
Sun Bingyuan waved his hand: "Not even once. As I said before, as long as you are pretty enough, men can ignore everything."
Sang Luo asked a question: "According to your high school level, you should not be able to complete college. How did you graduate?"
"Of course I still rely on my admirers," Sun Bingyuan said without feeling ashamed, "They wrote my notes for me in class. They sat on my left and right during the final exams. I could copy anyone I wanted. They even wrote my graduation thesis for me. I just had to copy it."
Ma Shi Tu shook his head and sighed. Sang Luo asked the key point: "So how did you and Du Lingfeng end up like that?"
Sun Bingyuan's face turned pale: "It's all his fault for barging in that day without telling me in advance!"
"Which day?" Sang Luo asked.
Sun Bingyuan said awkwardly: "It was just a few days before the incident, probably on the 25th or 26th. I had forbidden Du Lingfeng to have any intimate contact with me before, but now we are engaged, Du Lingfeng has repeatedly made requests, and I can't find a reason to refuse him. I also know that this day is only a matter of time-"
"Sooner or later, he will sleep with me. I can't take off my clothes and let him see a man's body, right? So I called my sister from the village. When we sleep together, I plan to let my sister take my place. After all, we look exactly the same."
Sang Luo frowned: "You asked her to go to bed with a man she has never met, and she would agree to do that?"
Sun Bingyuan shrugged: "What's the big deal? My sister is always like this, she does whatever I tell her to do, and she's very easy to use."
Sang Luo cursed inwardly, but still listened to him patiently. Sun Bingyuan continued:
"I asked my sister to go to the grain and oil family building in advance, and planned to have her go on a date for me at the right time. During this period, the two of us lived in that house together, but to my surprise, Du Lingfeng came over without even saying hello that day."
"That day was probably the 25th. My sister and I were having dinner at home when we suddenly heard the sound of a key opening the door. The grain and oil family building was the Du family's house. The person who came was either Du Lingfeng or his father. We were both scared. I hurriedly asked my sister to hide, but it was too late——"
"Before my sister got into the closet, Du Lingfeng opened the door. He was holding a bouquet of flowers and said he wanted to give me a surprise. The three of us were stunned. At the time, I was only wearing a vest and no fake breasts. My sister's skin color was completely different from mine. Du Lingfeng took a few glances and understood what was going on."
"That day he was like crazy, smashing a lot of things in the house, yelling and cursing at me, telling me to get out, and saying he would call the police to arrest me and break off the engagement. I begged for mercy again and again, even kneeling down for him, but it was no use. In the end, he left in a rage, leaving the two of us alone in the house."
"I'm really scared. I don't know what to do. If he calls the police, I will be charged with fraud and need to return the money. But I have spent all the money in the past. How can I return it to him?"
"He never contacted me after he left. I waited for news of him in fear in the family building. My sister was also worried. On the one hand, I was afraid that he would call the police and I wanted to run away. But on the other hand, I hoped that he still had some feelings for me. After all, we had been together for several years."
"I waited for a few days like this. On the afternoon of the 28th, I received a call from Du Lingfeng. He asked me to meet him again to talk about this matter. I thought there was still hope. Maybe he wanted to talk to me about getting back together, so I dressed up carefully and went for the appointment."
"But after we met, he started to curse me. He cursed me very badly and even hit me. I couldn't stand it anymore. After all, I am a man. How could I let him bully me like this? So I started to fight back. Then he picked up a knife. I killed him to save my life. If I didn't kill him, he would definitely kill me."
These were roughly consistent with Sang Luo's speculation, so Sang Luo asked the question that concerned him the most: "Then you ran to the grain and oil family building, killed your sister, and then disguised it as if she had hanged herself. How did you hang her up?"
Sun Bingyuan looked terrified: "I didn't kill her, she really committed suicide!"
"I was very scared at the time. I knew I had killed someone, so I immediately thought of looking for my sister. From childhood to adulthood, no matter how big a mess I made, it was always my mother and sister who helped me solve it. So I ran back to the grain and oil family building, where my sister was. After she listened to what happened, she assured me that she would take all the blame."
"I agreed. It's not my fault. I really can't go to jail. I've been spoiled since I was a child and I haven't even done housework. I can't bear the hardship of jail. Let my sister go to jail. She has thick skin and maybe she can bear it.?"
"She asked me to take off the bloody clothes and put on clean clothes. When I came out after changing, she had already put on my bloody clothes. Then she wiped the handle of the fruit knife and printed her fingerprints on the handle. Then she took out a sewing needle and used it to pick out the blood and flesh from my fingernails and stuffed it into her fingernails. She said that the blood and flesh could be tested for something N or A."
"I was completely panicked and did everything she said. After I finished, she told me to run as fast as I could. I was about to leave when I suddenly remembered that the gold jewelry was still at home. I had endured humiliation and hardship to get those gold jewelry, so I couldn't just give them up. So I put the gold jewelry in my pocket, and that's when they were probably stained with blood."
Even in such a panic, she still didn't forget the gold jewelry. She is really obsessed with money, Sang Luo silently complained in his heart.
Sun Bingyuan covered his face with his hands. "Just when I closed the door, I heard a thump in the house. I didn't realize it at the time, but now I think about it, it was the sound of my sister kicking over a stool. Woohoo, she hanged herself for me! Woohoo, I thought she might go to jail, but I didn't expect she would die..."
He pretended to cry, but Sang Luo interrupted him impatiently: "Come on, stop acting. If you really cared about her life or death, you wouldn't let her take the blame. There's no one here to watch you perform, so why bother pretending to cry! Let's get back to the case. Where did you go later?"
Sun Bingyuan put down his hand in dismay. "Later, I walked out of the grain and oil family building. There were a few people outside watching the excitement. Since I was dressed as a man at the time and I took off my wig, revealing my bald head, no one noticed me. I slipped away openly. Later, I found a car and returned to Gaoliang Village. I thought that the location was remote and transportation was inconvenient, so you might not come to find me. I didn't expect that you would catch me anyway."
At this point, he said angrily, "It's all that broken ring's fault. I clearly rinsed it with water after I took it home, but it just wouldn't come out clean. There's always some blood stains on the corners of the word '囍' that I can't get rid of. It's so annoying! When I was choosing the ring, I only saw that it was the heaviest in the store. I didn't expect it would bring me such trouble. If I had known this would happen, I would have chosen a simple design!"
"Even if there is no ring, the police will find other evidence," Sang Luo said seriously, "The law is long and wide, and nothing can escape it. As long as it is something you have done, there will always be traces left!"
Sun Bingyuan was speechless. Ma Shi Tu sighed and said, "Since your original purpose was just to pay for the rent, you could have just broken up after graduation. Why did you get engaged? That way you wouldn't have to worry about rooming together, and this tragedy wouldn't have happened."
Sun Bingyuan opened his mouth and was silent for a long time before he said, "At first it was for the rent, but later... I have completely gotten used to this kind of life of being supported by others. It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. If we really break up, my living standard will plummet. How can I accept it?"
"Besides, Du Lingfeng's family is in business. If I marry him, it will be good for me. Maybe he will inherit the family property in the future. In this case, I can also get a share of it. Why would I need to look for a job?"
Sun Bingyuan spoke with great confidence. Sang Luo sighed in his heart at his shamelessness. Ma Shi Tu asked again: "Even if you cheated that night, what are you going to do in the future? Are you going to let your sister take your place every night?"
Sun Bingyuan shook his head: "I don't know either. I'll just take it one step at a time. I also want to take a gamble. What if I can really get away with it?"
"In fact, when it comes down to it, I'm just unlucky. If Du Lingfeng hadn't barged in unexpectedly that day, maybe we would have been married. Maybe I would be a rich wife in the Du family now..."
Ma Shi Tu also shook his head. You can cheat for a while, but not for a lifetime. Sun Bingyuan has too strong a gambler mentality. This case is actually inevitable.
