Two days later, Wen's father hurried to the Public Security Bureau, used his connections and gave gifts, and things went very smoothly, with his eldest daughter's household registration being cancelled on the grounds that she had died of illness.
Wen Jiale happily signed up his son for the military, waiting to send him to the army. For a place like the military logistics department, one could not get in without connections. Everyone in the Wen family was very happy, holding their heads high and showing off everywhere. In this era, being able to join the army was a very honorable thing. They had long forgotten that they had a daughter whose life or death was unknown.
Once the household registration is cancelled, there will no longer be a living Wen Xin in the archives of this world. There will only be Wei Xin, who looks exactly like Wen Xin and is far away in Longcheng.
…
Yan Zeyang answered the phone and said calmly: "Okay, I got it. Let's have dinner together when we have time. Okay." Then he hung up the phone.
Just after the handover of his work was completed, he received a call from the Public Security Bureau, saying that Wenxin's household registration had been successfully cancelled. This was just a small trick and not worth mentioning.
He sat on the chair in the office with a serious look on his face. The marriage examination report he had folded was placed on the table.
He picked it up and looked at it, and the complexity and joy on his face no longer existed as when he first saw it.
To be honest, when he first saw the checklist, he was in disbelief, shocked and then delighted. If he said that he didn't care that Wen Xin had a secret past with a man before marriage, he would be deceiving himself. Although he buried all this deep in his heart, he felt a lump in his throat every time he thought about it.
Now that he knew everything, after his joy and happiness, he was filled with deep regret and anger.
She regretted that he had not investigated the matter thoroughly, which made Wen Xin leave Kyoto in tears. No wonder she said that all she had left here were sad memories, and she kept telling him that she didn't want to come back in the short term.
Only then did Yan Zeyang realize that she had been framed, neglected, and left the city in tears after going to the hospital for a check-up. He felt a dull pain in his heart for all the grievances and pain she had endured, and he was definitely heartbroken.
And for him, that diary was also his sad memory. If losing her had not been a hundred times darker and more painful than her experience, he might have allowed himself to forget it completely. If he had not decided to go south to see her, then they might not have had the opportunity to meet and uncover the truth.
If you have not gone through the process of struggling, giving up and finally accepting, then even if you get this test report now, you will probably remain calm.
Everything points to Shi Lian, the man who wrote this diary. If this incident had not happened, he and Wen Xin might have been married long ago. But now, it makes both of them miserable and makes Wen Xin say that she only wants to be with him but doesn't want to get married.
After Yan Zeyang felt heartbroken, he naturally felt angry, which made him find Shi Lian again.
That’s right! He found him again.
Yan Zeyang stood up and walked to the window. Outside, there seemed to be constant whistles coming from the training ground, and loud slogans from nearly a thousand soldiers during training, but he took a cigarette from the drawer, took out one and put it to his lips.
Yes, he found Shi Lian again, and in anger, besides beating him up to vent his anger, he also wanted to know why he lied.
Yan Zeyang had experience in torturing traitors and spies, so he knew how to make the enemy tell the truth. His techniques for prying open the enemy's mouths were dark and beyond the imagination of outsiders.
Shi Lian wailed miserably and cried bitterly. During his repeated interrogations, he confessed everything that was recorded in the diaries. It was exactly the same as last time and there was no discrepancy between what was written in the diaries.
Yan Zeyang used the method of forcing a confession, and finally, his heart sank. His experience and intuition told him that this man had never lied and everything he said was true.
Yan Zeyang extracted from Shi Lian all the experiences that Wen Xin had before she was eighteen years old. Shi Lian said that she was often beaten by that weird aunt and that she had several old scars on her body. She was very depressed and didn't like to talk. She had a very weird personality and she never smiled. He even told him about several moles on her body.
Shi Lian was bleeding from his mouth and was still talking when he was unconscious: "... I'll tell you everything. Don't kill me, don't kill me. I was young and I didn't know. She must have been pregnant that year! Otherwise, her aunt wouldn't know about us. She was lying on the bed like dead. She looked like a woman who had her baby aborted. That's why her aunt said I was a beast and found out about us. What I said is all true, all true..."
Yan Zeyang later checked with Wen Xin's classmates and neighbors, and all of them gave the same description as Shi Lian. In the month before she returned to the Wen family, she was a gloomy, silent girl who stayed in the house all day, wore gray old clothes, and was introverted and numb.
She was so numb that she didn't even shed a tear when her great aunt died.
If Shi Lian was the only one saying this, he might not believe it, but if everyone around him said the same thing, he would have to believe it.
It also makes people doubt everything about her.
How did she quickly become a cheerful, cheerful, lively and outgoing girl who always went outside, liked to wear nice clothes, liked brightly colored materials, and was warm, open and had a bright smile during the one month she stayed in the Wen family?
Her personality was completely different from what everyone who knew her had described her to be.
It turned out that the neighbor of Wenxin’s old house clearly described it: "That girl had a hard life. She worked hard every day and got burns on her arms. There was a big scar..." She saw it with her own eyes.
The location of the scar is consistent with what Shi Lian said, and their testimonies are consistent.
But Yan Zeyang was very sure, no!
He knew best whether Wen Xin had any scars on her body. Her whole body was as smooth and moist as egg white. Not to mention scars, even moles are rare.
So is the Wen Xin mentioned by these people the same person as the Wen Xin he knows?
If what Shi Lian revealed under torture was the truth, then what about this inspection report?
The cigarette soon burned to its butt. Yan Zeyang frowned, lit another one, and bit it tightly in his mouth.
His mind went back to the first time he rescued Wen Xin by the river, the revealing skirt, the strange box, and the kiss she took after she saw him for the first time. It was also that kiss that he clearly imprinted her in his eyes and remembered her in his heart.
Afterwards, she entered the Yan family. She was well-behaved but lively. She got to know the people in the compound as quickly as possible. She gave hugs, her sweet smile, those irresistible seductions, and she even ran to his room and took off her clothes.
All of this is very unusual.
But at that time, he was so obsessed with his emotions that he just thought she liked him, and liked him so much that she threw away her feminine shyness. But now it seems that her target is very clear, which is him.
Afterwards, she left the capital, left a checklist, and took a train south, where she happened to stay at the home of a squad leader in his regiment. She also became good friends with Gu Qingtong.
Gu Qingtong, a person who had long been included in the internal list of key spy observation targets.
When he found her and stepped into the hall that looked like a brothel, her defenselessness and innocence made him unable to control his anger. At that time, he only thought that she was naive and gullible, but now it seems that there seems to be another meaning.
But no matter what, Yan Zeyang didn't want to believe that she was not really Wen Xin, and didn't want to believe that she approached him for a purpose. After he calmed down and reasoned and analyzed with heartache, he thought that the conclusions he came to were impossible.
Because in his opinion.
She has a simple and innocent mind, likes to cry but is afraid of pain. How could she be a spy? He even felt that he was pretending. With Yan Zeyang's more than ten years of experience in judging people, he didn't believe that he would be wrong.
But how to explain all the confusion and contradictions in her now?
Is it possible that there can be two kinds of warmth in this world?
"Knock knock knock." There was a knock on the office door. Political Commissar Ye walked in with some documents. He saw Yan Zeyang standing in front of the window motionless with a bitter look on his face, smoking a cigarette, and several cigarette butts in the ashtray.
Political Commissar Ye shook his head. Young people must have pioneering spirit. What future can they achieve if they stay in one regiment all the time? Reorganizing a field army is such an exciting thing. Yet this kid is frowning here and looking worried. Well, the commander is right in this move. He must be given more training.
"Ze Yang, the transfer order has come down. When are you going to leave?"
Yan Zeyang finally came back to his senses from his thoughts. He silently squeezed the cigarette butt in his hand and threw it into the ashtray.
He turned around, walked to the desk, and said, "The sooner we leave, the better. Let's do it in the next two days."
Political Commissar Ye thought that he would be leaving in two days. There was no family building in the barracks. His wife and children were upset with him these days. They wouldn't be able to see each other for several months. It seemed that he would have to build the family building first when he arrived. So he said, "I have brought you the new base information. You can take a look at it when you have time. We have to make a plan for the entire camp first. We need to build the barracks and family building area facilities within three months. The time is still quite tight. By the way, the regiment has organized a farewell party for you tonight. As the regiment commander, you have to show up. Your soldiers will be reluctant to leave you." Ye Jianzhou put the information on the table and said.
"Farewell party?" He snorted lightly, "Don't think they can slack off after I leave. I have already arranged a six-month training plan. Ask the deputy regiment commander to strictly implement it." There will be no weak soldiers under a strong general. Why keep them if you can't train strong soldiers?
…
"Son, who did you offend? You were hospitalized again right after being discharged from the hospital, and you were beaten like this. I have to go to the police station. My son was beaten like this, I have to sue them..." Shi Lian's mother cried in the hospital.
Shi Lian's injuries were not serious this time. Although he lost a lot of blood, his hands and feet were not broken. It was just that this kind of injury was extremely painful. The doctor frowned after a quick examination. This kind of injury was obviously caused by an expert, and it was specially used to deal with wounds caused by torture of spies.
No matter how strong a man is, he cannot withstand such torture. Judging from the way the person who carried out the torture was, he was definitely not a simple person. His method was clean and neat and could cause great pain.
The doctor knew what was going on, but he kept silent. In this world, whoever gets involved in such a thing will be unlucky. So he pretended to know nothing, finished the examination, asked the nurse to bandage the wound, and called it a day.
Shi Lian stared blankly at the roof of the hospital. When she heard that her mother was going to the police station to file a complaint, she shuddered with fear and grabbed her mother, "Mom, don't go. If you go, your son will be finished..."
"Is it over? Son, tell me honestly, who did you offend? They beat you every other day as if they have a grudge against you. What did you do wrong?" Shi Lian's mother asked her son nervously.
"I..." Until now, Shi Lian didn't know what had happened.
He only knew that the diary was the cause of the trouble.
But he clearly put the diary in that pile of newspapers, so why did it get lost?
He remembered his mother saying that several soldiers came to buy newspapers and specifically asked for that stack. Thinking about it now, it was really suspicious.
If they hadn't bought the diary and it hadn't leaked out, how could he have offended the evil spirit? How could he be beaten twice, and the reason for being beaten was because of the woman he wrote about in his diary...
"Mom..." His throat was very dry because of screaming, he asked: "Those soldiers who came to our house to buy newspapers..."
His mother immediately became alert: "Did those soldiers beat you? You're going to die. Why did they beat you? I thought, you were so generous. You came in and asked for a meal under the pretext of drinking water. They also gave you a lot of money and food coupons. Mom was blinded by the money and coupons, so she went into the kitchen to cook for them. Why did they beat you? We have no grudges against them."
Only then did Shi Lian realize that this was all a trap.
A soldier was almost killed because a woman beat him twice, so, did the female classmate in his diary marry the soldier? Are you afraid he'll find out?
No wonder!
Those soldiers were not just passing by to have a meal, they had a purpose. They clearly sent their mother away, and under the cover of several people, they searched the entire room swiftly. They also had a purpose in buying those newspapers.
Maybe my mother had already prepared dinner and she didn’t have time to look through the newspaper, so she just bought it all at once.
They must have found some clues about him and his female classmates at school, so they came here specifically to investigate and collect evidence.
After getting the diary, the man knew everything, including the woman's infidelity and military marriage, which was why he...
"Mom, do you still remember that there was a girl in my class named Wen Xin? When I was back home, that weird old lady from the palace, her niece, please do me a favor and go back and ask someone about her now, how is she doing now..."
Shi Lian's mother soon found out.
"Son, the female classmate you mentioned, she...she is dead."
"What? When did he die?" Shi Lian almost jumped up when he heard it.
"Just two days ago, someone died of illness and his household registration was cancelled..."
Shi Lian was lying on the hospital bed, his eyes wide open with fear in them, and he was gasping for breath.
It must be the devil who tortured him, it must be him! He was the one who killed the person!
If he kills all the women who betrayed him, then isn't he doomed as well?
Thinking of this, thinking of his methods, thinking that he would be the next one, he was so scared that he almost lost control of his bladder, and cried out: "Mom, mom, please get me discharged from the hospital quickly, I want to leave here, I can't stay here any longer, I will die, that madman, that madman will kill me..."
At this time, Yan Motou, who was called a madman, reached out and picked up the hat, put it on his head, looked back at the office, and finally walked out solemnly, leaving the group where he had stayed for four years.
