Chapter 11: Meet Chen Ziqi again as the evil sect Zi Xi
This is a seemingly impossible secret room crime. The person who did this must not want to be charged with stealing a body, so he came up with this method. However, his wishful thinking was betrayed by the uncle and the others.
Such a meddling failed. The next day, the people who came to carry the body found that the body was missing and there were signs of prying on the iron lock on the door. They reported it immediately. So they looked forward to political achievements, but in the end it was just a dream.
The official in charge launched a city-wide manhunt after realizing a dream.
The police were not vegetarians. They believed that the person who stole the body must be someone who had seen the abnormal appearance of the body, that is, a guy near Lin's house. It was not difficult to find a master lockpicker among these people. In that era, people were scrambling to be the first.
People are proud to tell the truth.
So, the "lock-picking master" was found. He was said to be a master, but in fact he was just a little kid who knew a few things. He was about the same age as the uncle, in his teens and twenties. Although he was young, once he entered, he was waiting for him
I'm afraid the treatment will not be much lower than the treatment in the Gonghexin Road Railway Prison. This is because he is considered an "active counterrevolutionary".
After the trial, considering his young age, he was sent to reeducation through labor. This reform lasted eight years.
The uncle felt very guilty about this, because he knew that the pain this man went through was all to force him to tell the truth and his accomplices.
However, the uncle did not dare to surrender. Because he is already a "descendant of capitalist cancer". If the current counter-revolution is added to the mix, a gun will penetrate his head in minutes, and the executioner will also look for his family.
Asking for five cents for bullets.
The uncle was frightened and entangled, and was woken up from nightmares countless times. He dreamed that his friend was shot, and he dreamed that he was confessed, and was pushed to the rostrum for criticism, wearing a tall hat.
, hanging on his chest is a sign with a cross drawn on it...
The master lockpicker stayed in the labor camp for eight years, and the uncle also spent eight years in guilt and suffering. When the guy was released in human form, the police still couldn't dig out a single name from his mouth. The uncle
When I went to see him, he had completely changed.
He just immersed himself in eating in silence, smoking when he could and drinking when he could. He didn't curse or complain, as if he had endless things on his mind, or as if someone had given him dumb medicine and made him mute.
Not saying a word, the silence was terrifying.
No one knows what a nightmare prison life he has experienced in the past eight years. After he was released, under the arrangement of his family, he married a deaf-mute woman and gave birth to a child. Unfortunately, he met again
Three years of natural disasters, a family of three almost starved to death during the famine.
The uncle is a descendant of a capitalist. He has no chance to work, so he cannot get work points. It is even harder to survive in times of famine. Fortunately, Fang Yan, Lin Yinru and others are all workers' children with upright roots, and they often share a little food to support
Uncle. The uncle couldn't bear to eat it, so he gave it to the man and his family. The child had no milk to eat, so the uncle went to the brigade's dairy farm to steal milk for him. This man never said a word of thanks, and never complained that the uncle didn't stand up.
Come out and admit your "crime".
The uncle may have done these things with a mentality of atonement. You must know that in those days, if you gave your rations to others, you would probably not be able to survive. Especially for a "descendant of cancer". In fact,
, even if the uncle admits his "crime", it is just one more person going to jail to suffer.
However, no matter what the uncle did, this guy who became like a boring gourd never thanked him, but became more and more alienated from the uncle. Every time the uncle went to his house, he felt that the atmosphere was particularly depressing, not only for this person, but also for his family.
The child did not have the liveliness and agility that a child should have. He was silent all day long and stared at the uncle with dead eyes, which made people feel creepy.
After a while, the man suddenly moved away and disappeared without a trace. The uncle sighed for several days, but there was nothing he could do.
When the Cultural Revolution was about to end, my uncle heard from people that this man had moved to the suburbs of Shanghai and lived in a small building, acting like an uncle, but no one took care of him. But not long after, this man and his wife lived together.
His deaf-mute wife suffered a murderous attack, and although his body could not be found, his only son was also missing.
These words may be the most written part in this notebook. Although the uncle said only a few words, he poured out all the depression, guilt, hesitation and helplessness in his heart. However, when I saw this, I suddenly woke up:
This uncle's former "comrade-in-arms", this "lock-picking master", this kind and righteous man who had not confessed to his uncle after eight years of labor reform, this guy who came out of prison was a completely different person...
Although the uncle did not name this person, isn't this person Chen Ziqi?
He used to be one of the friends near Linjiazhai. In 1956, when the Linjiazhai No. 37 incident occurred, he was in his teens. He was arrested around 1958 and 1959, and was released through labor reform for eight years, probably in 1967.
.Then he got married and had children, almost 2 years later, in 1969. At the end of the Cultural Revolution in 1975, he was "killed" by the green-faced and mustachioed Right Banner Commander organized by Dadula. The orphan Chen Xulin was exactly 5 or 6 years old.
When he was about 18 years old, he was adopted by the Zuoqi envoy...
All time points can be matched.
I broke out in a cold sweat. Chen Ziqi actually had such a past? The "night trip to the funeral parlor" that I participated in with my uncle actually changed his entire life and turned him into...
A freak.
It was not only Chen Ziqi who was changed, but also his son, Chen Xulin, a dark and thin guy who looked like he had autism. It turned out that his character originated from the repressive family atmosphere in his childhood.
Having a "current counter-revolutionary" father who is confused and silent all day long, it is natural that the children will be affected, and it is reasonable...
For a moment, I didn’t know how I should feel. Chen Ziqi has such a relationship with his uncle. Does he hate his uncle’s silence, or is he grateful for his life-saving help?
If Mrs. Yin can tell from my words and deeds that I am very similar to my uncle, then...can Chen Ziqi also tell? Could it be that he already knew my identity and just deliberately didn't reveal it?
What exactly did he want to do to me? Use me and then take revenge on me so that I can repay the "debt" of the previous generation? Could it be that by seducing me into falling into drugs and beauty, he was secretly enjoying his "debt"?
The pleasure of "nephew compensation"?
I almost don't dare to think about it anymore.
However, Mrs. Yin should be aware of the grievances between Chen Ziqi and my uncle. From this point of view, Mrs. Yin does not know Chen Ziqi’s true identity. Otherwise, she would not have let me, a "former
The eldest nephew of her "former sweetheart" would go to die with an enemy of her "former sweetheart"?
But what if Mrs. Yin knew Chen Ziqi’s true identity but she didn’t tell me? Then I was almost buried up to my neck. If that was the case, I wouldn’t be surprised. Mrs. Yin
Perhaps a large part of everything I enjoy now is the property left by my uncle. According to Liu Qing, my grandma is the sole heir of my uncle’s property. It is reasonable for me to take over the property. According to this
, Mrs. Yin wants to kill me with the help of Chen Ziqi, and my death will not be unjust at all.
My hair suddenly stood up.
I bought a watch last year! What kind of evil have I done in my life? Why did I get into such a mess and everyone wants to point the finger at me?
I secretly told myself to be calm. Now that Mrs. Yin’s position is unclear, I can’t make this judgment easily. I’ll just have to be more careful in the future.
Thinking about this, I have already turned two pages of my notes.
Just as he was about to look down, the hotel phone rang. The front desk lady's voice came: "Hello, distinguished guest, there is a lady named 'Guang' looking for you. Would you like to help you come in?"
I don’t know the lady named Guang. But as soon as I heard the name, I knew it was made up by Mingying. Guang, Ming, luckily she could figure it out. I immediately said: "Oh, okay, help me get her in."
Sure enough, Mingying's voice sounded, saying: "There is news about the Chen Pei you asked me to check."
"It was found out so quickly? That's okay!"
Mingying said calmly: "In the medical world, it's not that difficult to check something."
I nodded silently in my mind. Mingying originally worked in the hospital and was an insider. It was not surprising that she had some connections. Suddenly I was startled and said, "Medical circle? Is this Chen Pei in the hospital?"
"No. He is in a nursing home. He is a widowed old man. Where else can he go at such an old age?"
"Which nursing home?"
"Caojiadu Aihua Nursing Home. The address is... No. 485, Jiaozhou Road, Jing'an District, near Kangding Road."
I praised Mingying a few words, hung up the phone, stood upright from the bed, got dressed, put away my notebook, and went to check out.
Although I have deduced the general situation of the Linjiazhai incident on the 37th through my uncle's notes, there are still some details that I would like to ask the person involved. I hope that this Chen Pei does not have Alzheimer's disease or anything, and his brain is still intact.
Be clear.
However, after so many years, Chen Pei has been slandered as a mental patient. Maybe he has accepted this fact and really thinks that he is a mental patient.
I can't help but sigh when I think of this. Mental illness is actually different from the vast majority of people, so it is not accepted by others. As long as most people say you are mentally ill, you are mentally ill, and you are not. There are many academic and cultural giants with superhuman wisdom.
, how many adventurers who had extraordinary experiences were not accepted by the society at that time, and were eventually stamped with "mental illness" or "witchcraft" and then thrown into the fire and burned to death.
I drove all the way from the S20 Outer Ring Road to the Yan'an Road Elevated Road, got off the ramp near Jing'an Temple, turned left at Jiaozhou Road, and drove to the nursing home where Chen Pei lived.
When I arrived at the intersection of Jiaozhou Road and Beijing West Road, I stopped at a red light and looked up at the old buildings around me out of boredom.
Suddenly, I was stunned.
No, I should say, I froze.
Even though the red light turned green and the car behind me honked impatiently, I was still frozen in place.
