Upon hearing this, the man's lips moved as if he wanted to say something more, "Her father was very great; he saved many people."
"What does it have to do with her?" Mo Yan retorted coldly. "Her father is exceptionally outstanding, her father is respected by many, her father saved your father, so is that a reason for me to die?!"
Is that a reason?
Is this the reason why the original owner was killed?
Is this the source of Lin Beibei's confidence to kill?
"I'm so glad I forgot my past memories, otherwise I would feel like I lived in a particularly filthy environment, and I can probably imagine what kind of girl that was."
She can't have what she likes. She has to give everything she likes to Lin Beibei because Lin Beibei's father saved her father.
She cannot cry, she cannot argue, she cannot fight.
She was the one who was always ignored, and even her death was deserved. Right?
Why did the original owner forget that memory? Perhaps it was too heavy, too painful, so she made herself forget it and never want to remember it again.
Even in death, she never thought of coming back; all she wanted was to take care of those three girls. She didn't want her identity, nor did she want her so-called family.
"That's not what I meant. Nobody wants you to die."
The man quickly explained that they could never have wanted her dead. They were more heartbroken than anyone else at that time, and even his mother often went back to that place, hoping to find her.
Mo Yan, however, did not believe it and continued walking while dragging Lin Beibei along.
Soon Tao Zhengyi arrived with the police. "Officer, she killed me."
Police officer: "???" Weren't you perfectly fine?
"No, no, I just... I just wanted to give you a push. I didn't expect you to actually fall." Lin Beibei kept shaking her head. "I didn't want you to die. You died on your own. Please don't haunt me."
Looking at Lin Beibei's delirious state, Mo Yan felt no sympathy whatsoever.
"Come back with us first, and we'll see what's going on."
The police took them all back to the police station.
The man then produced his identification, saying, "These are my identification documents. They are both my sisters. Can we resolve this ourselves?"
Seeing the man's state, the police officers were at a loss for words. "I'm sorry, since someone has called the police and there is a victim, we must handle this matter impartially. Your identity is not important. What's important is that we need to take a statement now. Could you please leave for a moment?"
man:"……"
Mo Yan led Tao Zhengyi to sit in front of the police. To be honest, Tao Zhengyi was a little nervous because this was the usual way to discipline children in their village.
"You brat, if you don't behave, I'll call the police to arrest you and lock you up."
"You naughty child, if you don't behave, I'll have the doctor give you a shot."
After hearing it so many times, I developed a bit of a phobia.
That's why I get nervous when I see the police.
"Alright, we can begin. Could you please explain the situation first?" [Well, I haven't taken a statement yet, so just read it as is.]
“I don’t remember anything from the past. I was rescued from a cliff eight years ago. In their words, they had to empty their house to save me.”
Later, I settled down in that village. This time, I came to find his father, to see if he had died out there. Just as I arrived at the door, I saw Lin Beibei and Tao Ju together. They had actually become boyfriend and girlfriend, and were even getting married.
At this point, Mo Yan looked at the police officer very seriously. "Officer, does this count as bigamy?"
"That doesn't count. They didn't live together under the guise of marriage. At most, it's just that your husband cheated on you."
Mo Yan felt a little regretful after hearing this, but it was still acceptable.
"Okay, Lin Beibei acted like she'd seen a ghost when she saw me, so I dragged Tao Ju over and threw him in the trash. He said he wanted to be with Lin Beibei because he'd have money in the future. Tell me, is that even human language? I just threw him in the trash."
Because of Lin Beibei's unusual behavior, I thought I'd come and see what was going on, and that's when I saw the siblings.
Lin Beibei immediately admitted that she killed me back then. My head is throbbing right now, and many images are flashing through my mind.
Of course, there's another problem: that man outside keeps threatening me.
Mo Yan didn't forget to mention this.
"How was it threatened?"
He said Lin Beibei's father was a hero, that her father was very great, so I couldn't pursue the matter.
Because his father saved someone, I cannot investigate further.
I just don't understand. Her father is her father, and she is her. Does her father's achievements become a shield for her to kill without breaking the law?
I know that the children of heroes should be treated well, but does that mean the children of heroes can kill people at will?
No matter what I did in the past that upset her, that's no excuse for pushing me off a cliff, is it?
Or does this mean that anyone whose father is a hero doesn't need to obey the law and can kill anyone they want?
Mo Yan's rhetorical questions made the police officers' faces darken, not at Mo Yan, but at the man who said those words, even though he was wearing a military uniform.
"That's impossible. We will definitely give you justice. It's just that you've lost your memory, so we need to investigate thoroughly. You might not be able to leave Yundu for a while. Do you have a place to stay?"
"No, we're here to find Tao Ju. But if you want to investigate, stay here. We'll go out and look for a place to rent a house later."
Mo Yan explained her situation directly, "You can also check in the village; everyone there knows what's going on."
"Of course, we'll investigate. I can help you deliver a message about your son..." Do you want us to help you send it back?
"No need, he'll just stay with me."
Mo Yan took Tao Zhengyi out to write a letter, explaining the situation and telling the old lady to take good care of herself and to look after the tofu shop, assuring her precious child that everything was alright.
The last policewoman helped them rent a house. They paid a discount because she was a young woman with a child and they heard that she had lost her memory.
Mo Yan looked at the stone mill and thought about selling tofu again. As for Tao Zhengyi's school, she looked around and finally found one. Only then could she truly settle down, but that's a story for later.
Lin Beibei was detained at the time and made to explain what happened back then.
Lin Beibei initially thought she was seeing a ghost and assumed that Mo Yan was seeking revenge. When she regained consciousness, she found herself in the police station.
She was thinking of just making things up, but for some reason, the truth just came out of her mouth.
“I was very young at that time and I didn’t think about her dying. I just had one thought: I hoped she would disappear forever so that I could be seen in Mo’s mother’s eyes. We were climbing a mountain there when I pushed her and she fell down.”
As she said this, a smug, sinister smile played on her lips.
