Having his brain invaded, Wang Shi had to release some of his memories. But he still had control, and all he chose were black memories.
His mother was bullied, and her suppressed crying could be heard through the thin door, but he could do nothing but copy words over and over again. His father was tyrannical and selfish, and he would beat and scold him at any time
. He glanced at him with cold and ruthless eyes, and only when he brought back an excellent report card did he reluctantly admit that he was his son. As
the days went by, the neighbors around him couldn't help but point fingers and murmur behind his back.
"There are always men coming to the house and staying for hours. Something is wrong."
"The woman keeps crying and her body is covered with bruises."
"If a man beats his wife, there must be a reason. He must have cheated on her."
"Don't say it, the Wang family boy doesn't look like his father."
Then, gossips also spread in the school.
"Don't talk to him, his mother is a whore."
"Is it true?"
"I heard from my aunt that her mother was having an affair with someone and was pregnant before getting married."
"His father is a cuckold, with a green head, hehe."
These unbearable past events are like a huge quagmire that drags people into it.
I want to struggle, I want to call for help, I want to escape.
But no one hears, no one cares, no one lends a helping hand.
He finally understands why his mother never tells others about her misfortune. Perhaps, she had expected that people would not pity her or sympathize with her, but would only blame her and insult her.
Rather than being criticized by thousands of people, it is better to keep a glimmer of illusion of happiness.
However, one day, the dream seemed to come true.
That day, the father was conscious and bought a few veggies and cakes. The mother wore a new skirt and cooked a table of fragrant home-cooked dishes, all of which were his favorites.
The family of three sat at the dinner table, as if the dispute of the past two years was a dream.
The man said: "If nothing unexpected happens, I will be the manager of this external transfer. When the time comes, you two will go together and find a better junior high school for the child."
The last sentence was specifically for the woman.
The woman cried with joy.
Everyone here knows her scandal, and the men who come to take advantage of her one after another are a nightmare that she can't wake up from.
But if she can be transferred to another place, no one will know her past, no one will gossip about her, and she can start over with her husband and children and live a peaceful and happy life.
All the patience is worth it.
"I'm sorry for putting you through these years." The man nodded to the woman, full of energy, "I finally made it."
Little Wang Shi looked at their happy faces and wondered if it was a dream.
But this time, it was real.
The transfer notice came down, the man had to go to another place to open up the market, and the woman was busy packing her luggage. She didn't pack much of her own things, but only carefully packed her son's things, folding and wrapping the clothes, and arranging the books neatly in the cardboard box.
While packing, she said, "Everything will be fine in the future, it will be fine." She also earnestly told him, "Don't blame mom, mom has suffered from the pain of not having a man in the family. If your grandpa hadn't died early, how dare they...how dare they..."
The memories pierced the biggest wound in her heart, and blood was dripping.
She held back her tears and repeated, "As long as you still have your father, you are his biological son, and no one will laugh at you..."
Wang Shi listened silently and slowly hugged the woman.
As the moving day approached, her complexion improved at a visible speed, her face was rosy and shiny, and she looked more mature.
As you can imagine, the neighbors' words became even more unpleasant.
But they tried not to care, and they endured and waited, and finally got on the departing truck.
A new life began.
In big cities, neighbors don't know each other so well, and they seldom meet and talk much. The classmates in the new school knew nothing about him and were very friendly to him.
His father was busy with work, and his mother was even nicer to him to make up for him.
Those days were as beautiful as a dream.
He began to believe that maybe the future would not be so bad, and maybe everything would get better slowly.
But later events proved that they were all too naive.
Probably only a month later, the man returned home with a gloomy face again. He opened the bottle and gulped down most of the bottle of beer, with a dark look in his eyes.
The woman served him carefully, fearing that he would return to his old ways and slap her again.
She was destined to be disappointed.
A man who is a domestic abuser will never repent, and a man who makes money by selling out his wife will never be willing to give up the shortcut to success.
He didn't even make excuses like before, and simply ordered: "Mr. Fei will come to our house for dinner tomorrow, you should get ready."
The woman's breathing stopped instantly.
She burst into tears and begged him: "You said you would not do it anymore, you said so."
"The work is not going well, I can't help it." The man was merciless, "If the work is not done well, we have to go back. What, who can't you let go of, do you really want to go back? Ah? Who can't you let go of? Director Liu? Director Qian? Or who? You tell me!"
It was murderous and heartbreaking.
The man knew how to control her, and with just a few words, she didn't even dare to refute, but just cried.
In an instant, the bubble of happiness was shattered, ushering in a more terrible hell.
She gradually lost weight, became numb, and gradually lost the most basic dignity of a person.
Jian Jing saw with her own eyes how this beautiful woman gradually turned into a walking corpse, a skeleton that could not cry or feel pain.
She fell ill, and suddenly became very ill, and began to vomit blood.
At first, the man thought she was faking her illness, and beat her even harder. Her face was terribly swollen, and she vomited blood, and there were pools of blood on the floor.
The man panicked, bought her medicine, and tried to calm her down, but it was all in vain.
The disease came like a mountain, and she became more and more seriously ill, and could hardly get up. The man didn't want to be in the same room with her, so he simply didn't go home all day.
One evening, the setting sun filled the sky.
Wang Shi returned home and walked into the bedroom as usual. The woman struggled to sit up, her eyes sparkling, and she desperately held his hand: "I'm sorry, forgive... forgive Mom."
He lowered his eyelids and asked: "Why?"
Didn't you say it would be fine?
The woman's eyes were filled with tears, and she murmured: "I'm sorry..."
He asked: "Why?"
Aren't you going to be happy?
Tears flowed across her cheeks and wet the pillow. Her lips moved slightly, and she no longer had the strength to speak. She just looked at him sadly and reluctantly, looking at her child.
He was not a child who was expected to be born.
His existence made her suffer from her husband's bullying.
She tried not to give up on him, but now... she had to leave him behind and go first.
The woman clenched her fingers as if to hold a child's hand, but she could not move. This body was already at the end of its strength and had used up all its vitality.
She could no longer drive this flesh and blood. Every breath she took required all her strength.
It was too painful.
Her bones ached, her vagina ached, and every inch of her skin was in excruciating pain.
She really couldn't hold on any longer.
Then, the light in her eyes dissipated, like a firefly leaving a summer night, which gave off a moment of beauty before returning to the land of decay and silence.
She closed her eyes and stopped breathing.
Wang Shi stared at her blankly, staring at her chest that no longer rose and fell. He clenched his fists as if in a convulsion and grasped her skinny fingers.
The residual heat of the corpse was transmitted to his hands, crushing his last bit of sanity.
"Why?" He repeated mechanically, "Why, why?!"
Why did you give birth to me? Why did you abandon me? Why don't you love me anymore?
I only have you, mother.
The air echoed with cracking sounds, and the scene was like a glass curtain, cracking into broken lines. The world shook, shaking the ceiling, shattering the furniture, and shaking the whole world into pieces.
Then, all the scenery collapsed at the same time, with a loud bang, and turned into powder on the ground.
Jian Jing saw the man's body lying on the sofa, his mouth and nose blocked by vomit, his face turned purple, and his skin was covered with purple corpse spots.
He was dead.
Wang Shi closed the door and walked into the night expressionlessly.
Three o'clock in the morning, in the office of the Public Security Bureau.
Ji Feng sat on the table, smoking to refresh himself while staring at the whiteboard full of clues.
So far, the police have mainly divided the investigation into two lines:
1. Kidnapping case
The key to the investigation is how the suspect took Jian Jing away, and which line is his real route of action?
Hypothesis 1: Kidnap Jian Jing - leave in a taxi - change transportation in the park - use Jiang Baiyan's car - abandon the car and transfer her to the detention place;
Hypothesis 2: Kidnap Jian Jing - create the illusion of leaving in a taxi, but in fact Jian Jing is still at the venue - leave with many guests - take her directly to the detention place; Hypothesis 3
: Synchronize with 2, but after leaving, use Jiang Baiyan's car for transfer, and then destroy the body and the traces.
This line is difficult to investigate, mainly because there are too many interference factors. After dozens of hours of surveillance, people are dizzy and it is extremely difficult to distinguish.
Moreover, Wang Shi has multiple identities, and the license plate obtained by the new identity is not suspicious at all.
2. Serial murder case
The DNA of Xue's relatives has been proven to be a mockery, and all clues are cut off.
Wang Shi, a psychologist who graduated from the University of Edinburgh, a fake identity
To be honest, this identity does not seem to be fabricated out of thin air, and the resume is complete. Except for the fake academic qualifications, everything else can be traced. In 2013, Wang Shi went abroad to study, which happened to be the beginning of the real-name system in China.
Ji Feng suspected that the other party borrowed the identity information of the real Wang Shi and made a real disguise.
So, what is his real identity?
If he used his real identity to find the place of detention, how could he find it? As
soon as the question came up, countless thoughts suddenly surged in his mind, squeezing his brain to the point of exploding.
Ji Feng pinched the bridge of his nose and decided to use the old method.
Do the subtraction method.
Although the location of the kidnapping case is very important, he hesitated and tried not to think too much. Jian Jing is not an ordinary girl who is helpless. She is smart and agile, and may not be much worse than him.
The best strategy is to treat her as a partner and do their own work.
He drove away the worries and uneasiness in his heart and focused all his attention on the whiteboard. After thinking for a moment, he circled the DNA line with a red pen.
This is something he has personally experienced, and it is also the most obvious line with conclusive evidence.
The other party pretended to attack him, no, he really attacked him, and left a blood sample at the same time. Doing so directly achieved two goals.
Give a simple response and mislead the direction of the investigation.
Considering that his own injuries were not serious, the latter should be more important - it is really a move that is not very harmful but extremely insulting.
But... the owner of the blood is not a missing person, but a drug addict who may be caught by the police for sampling at any time.
The time for misleading is very limited.
Since everything has been done, why not find a missing person? If he can't find out, he will always think that the owner of the blood is himself.
But he chose someone who is easy to find, which proves that he hopes they will find it.
Is it a joke? But provoking the police will have serious consequences, which is in stark contrast to the caution he showed during the kidnapping. This is what frustrated Ji Feng the most. He clearly committed the kidnapping, but he left no clues related to that year, and there was no way to prove the connection.
In other words, he did not want the police to reopen the investigation of the serial case.
It was unreasonable for such a meticulous person to make these arrangements just for fun.
So what was his purpose?
Ji Feng touched his chin and pulled out a thread from the complicated ball of thread.
Did he want them to think that he was a person who was very good at hiding himself?
Looking at the many photos posted on the whiteboard, there was a word that was circled: real identity? ?
Wang Siji's pseudonym in the 2009 case.
The DNA sample of Xue, the drug addict in the attack case.
Wang Shi, a graduate of the University of Edinburgh and a fake psychiatrist.
He created many fake identities, he carefully hid his past, and he was very likely to have more hidden vests.
This was the idea he implanted in their minds.
At this moment, Ji Feng still believed it firmly, and believed it too much, and doubted it in turn-could this also be a cover-up?
DNA cannot be falsified, but what about Wang Shi?
His academic qualifications were fake, and his real appearance was also inconsistent with the photos in the file. Therefore, they guessed that this was a borrowed real fake identity.
Is this his real purpose?
To use a fake identity to prove the reliability of his real identity?
"Old Gao." He kicked the chair next to him to wake up the dozing officer Gao, "Quick, let's investigate Wang Shi again."
