Chapter 93 The Truth
Before the words "blood debt, blood repayment" were still stuck in her throat, Chen Jingyi's mother grabbed her hand tightly and shook her head desperately.
This made Chen Jingyi extremely puzzled. She finally found a way to avenge her mother. As long as her mother revealed the characteristics of the murderer, she could bring the murderer to justice and let him pay with blood. But she never imagined that her own
My mother actually showed such resistance.
This was completely incomprehensible to her, so much so that she suddenly became emotional. She couldn't help but grab her mother's hand and started to question her loudly.
"Why, grandma, why! It was not easy for me to find the opportunity to find out that beast, and it was not easy for me to find a way to avenge you. Do you know how long I have been thinking about this day? I have been thinking about it for eighteen years.
Eighteen years! Now I have finally waited for this day, but why are you unwilling to say it? Tell me!"
Chen Jingyi's questioning made her mother's dead soul shake its head in pain, and two lines of tears of blood slowly shed from her gloomy eyes. But even so, she was still shaking her head, refusing to reveal even the slightest clue.
She has her own reasons.
Cao Wei had already seen the difficulty at this moment. So, seeing that Chen Jingyi was becoming more and more confused and about to push her too much, he decisively stretched out his hand to dissuade Chen Jingyi.
"Let me talk to my aunt?"
Cao Wei's intervention made Chen Jingyi calm down a little. After all, Chen Jingyi still trusted him enough. So although she still held her mother tightly in her hand, she somewhat slowed down her pressing pace.
.
And taking advantage of the moment when she was quiet, Cao Wei spoke directly to Chen's mother.
"Auntie, I am Ayi's friend. I can guess a little bit about the difficulties in your heart. Are you afraid that the murderer will hurt Ayi?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Mother Chen couldn't help but tremble, and then she shook her head desperately.
This desperate attempt to deny confirmed her guilty conscience. Seeing her actions like this, Chen Jingyi's heart was filled with ups and downs, and she immediately bit her lips hard.
"Mom, don't be afraid! I'm a policeman. I have a way to deal with that beast. You have to believe that I have this ability. As long as you tell me who that beast is, what he looks like, and what characteristics he has.
.I will definitely be able to catch him and avenge you with my own hands. Isn’t it good to do this?"
Mother Chen hesitated for a moment, but still shook her head.
But seeing that her attitude was no longer as firm as it was at the beginning, Cao Wei simply struck while the iron was hot.
"Aunt, Ayi is right. Besides, it's not just Ayi who has to deal with that beast, but also me, Uncle Feng, and the two eldest brothers of the Yin Division, Day Travel God and Night Travel God. There are police officers who are looking for this murderer.
There will be ghosts and gods helping you in the dark. As long as you are willing to speak out, this beast in human skin will definitely die."
"And if you refuse to tell, you will put Ayi in danger. After all, Ayi will definitely not give up avenging you. And if she continues to investigate like this, sooner or later she will find clues about this person. I believe you have heard of it, aunt.
The principle of alerting the enemy is that if that person notices something in advance, and A-Yi does not have time to pay attention to it. In such a situation where one is in the light and the other is in the dark, A-Yi may fall into his hands."
"I think Auntie, you definitely don't want this to happen. So..."
Cao Wei's words made Chen's mother stunned for a moment, and then she suddenly screamed and pulled Chen Jingyi into her arms.
This made Lin Feng subconsciously scream, but just as he was about to take action, Cao Wei stopped him with a look.
He didn't believe that any mother in the world was willing to harm her daughter, so in the face of this unexpected situation, he decisively chose to stand still.
Although Chen Jingyi was also surprised by her mother's sudden action, she also did not think that her mother would hurt her. So she let her mother do what she wanted, and her mother just held her tightly in her arms at the moment.
inside.
Just like when he was a child, his mother would always be the first to hug him tightly when encountering any danger, as if she had to bear any danger first.
Although she was very naughty when she was a child, which always made her mother unhappy, and her mother would sometimes beat and scold her. However, no matter what happened, her mother would always protect her in her arms immediately.
Yes, mothers always want to protect themselves.
She suddenly recalled the day she least wanted to recall.
The mother's body fell to the ground, her head still facing the direction of the door. Was she looking at the murderer who killed her? No, she couldn't see anything because she was blindfolded. Then she was
She didn't give up hope for help until the last moment? No, even with her tongue cut off, she couldn't make any sound at all.
Looking back now, she probably had only one thought at that time, which was that her mother's instinct was making her pray and sincerely hope that her little daughter could stay away from all this, that she could live forever.
Don't come back through the door that represents home.
She was trying to protect herself until the last moment, but she...
Seeing her mother clearly no longer able to protect her in her arms as she did when she was a child, but still hugging her tightly. Chen Jingyi couldn't help but burst into tears, stretched out her hands and hugged her tightly.
.
"Mom, I have grown up. I am no longer a child who needs you to protect me! Now I no longer need you to protect me. Now is the time for me to protect you."
"I didn't have this ability when I was young, but now I finally have it... So, grandma, help me, let me prove that I can protect you, prove that I can avenge you... okay?"
The frantic screams slowly calmed down. Although Mother Chen could not clearly see her daughter's current appearance, she still stared at her daughter with her hazy eyes and touched her daughter with her hands over and over again.
her cheeks.
Maybe she was imagining, using her hands to help her mentally outline her daughter's appearance at the moment. And maybe she didn't want to admit it, but she had to admit that her daughter had really grown up.
.
She is no longer the little girl she once was, but is now a real big girl. She is taller and more beautiful than herself.
With her like this, she can no longer hold her in her arms. Now she can only be held by her daughter, just like she was when she was a child.
As a mother, this is probably the biggest wish. So when she touched the warm tears on her daughter's face, she still hesitated and nodded.
"Uncle Feng, paper and pen!"
Finally, Chen's mother let go. While Chen Jingyi couldn't help but hug her mother tightly again, Cao Wei directly handed over the pen and paper.
Holding paper and pen in hand, Mother Chen pondered for a while before writing in Juanxiu's handwriting.
"I don't remember much about that person. Looking back now, he only has two characteristics. One is that he is a policeman."
As soon as these words were said, several people present were quite shocked. Especially Lin Feng and Chen Jingyi, they never thought of the possibility that the murderer was a policeman.
And this precisely explains why there has been no clue for more than ten years, and no matter how hard she searches, she can't find any trace of the murderer.
Because only the police can avoid her eyes and ears. And only the police can prevent her from taking the initiative to suspect and hide herself every time she searches for information.
Thinking about it now, maybe the murderer was secretly watching him, watching his every move. And the reason why he didn't do anything to him was probably because he was afraid of exposing himself, but he also had a cat-and-mouse attitude.
Toying and teasing.
It is entirely possible for a policeman who likes to torture and kill women to do so. And thinking about it, Chen Jingyi was so filled with hatred that she almost broke her teeth.
But she did not have an attack, but asked further amid the calm expressions of the people around her.
"Then grandma, what is his second characteristic."
"young."
"young?"
"Yes, I am young. Because I am living alone with Ayi, I often have to deal with rumors. And in order to prevent Ayi from being affected, I usually do not have contact with men alone."
This sentence made Chen Jingyi think back. It seemed that her mother had never had much contact with men. Except for her father, whose memory was completely blurred, the men she had the most contact with her mother only met and talked.
It's just a matter of a few sentences.
It seems almost impossible now to let a strange man walk into your home. Even if he is a policeman.
And since this kind of thing really happened, it can only mean that this policeman has a trait that can make the mother let down her guard, and being young is the biggest possibility.
In Hong Kong in the 1960s and 1970s, being a police officer was not a very demanding job. If you had the connections, you could wear a military police uniform at the age of fifteen or sixteen. And this age is just right for most people.
They are still in the category of children. If he is really that young, it is not impossible that his mother will let her guard down and let him into the house.
Chen Jingyi inferred this, and her mother's statement also confirmed her inference.
"That day he knocked on the door and said he wanted to borrow a drink of water. I saw that he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, so I let him in. Who knew..."
Chen Jingyi didn't want to listen to the tragedy that followed. But in order to find out the real murderer, she had to force herself to read her mother's handwriting word by word.
