Lu Qiang said what everyone wanted to say. In fact, everyone had already suspected Lao Mumu.
After all, his original explanations now seemed a bit too far-fetched.
And now Lao Mumu is injured and hospitalized, and is almost about to be brutally killed. But at this time, Lao Mumu is still tight-lipped and doesn't seem to want to explain anything.
He even considered himself an innocent victim.
But all this seemed too funny to Gu Chen.
But thinking that Lao Mumu refused to cooperate with the police even when he was about to die, Gu Chen's suspicion of Lao Mumu became even more profound.
"Old principal." Seeing that the old boy still refused to answer, Lu Weiwei also said seriously:
"I know you have your own difficulties now, but if you hide this kind of thing now, have you ever thought about it in the future?"
Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Lao Mu's eyes trembled slightly as he was lying on the hospital bed.
It seemed that Lu Weiwei's words made him start to think again.
So Lu Weiwei continued to explain: "Think about it, you know who the murderer is, but you deliberately don't say it."
"Even if we don't catch the murderer this time and let the murderer get away with it, what about next time? What about the next time?"
"You've always heard that you can't hide from the first grade of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth grade, right?"
"Even if you are discharged from the hospital safely this time, they may attack you one after another."
"By injuring you like this, I obviously have murderous intentions towards you, but even now, you are still hesitating here."
Having said this, Lu Weiwei sighed heavily, looked to the left and right, and quickly said:
"Did you know? In order to protect your safety, there are so many police officers in our room, and there are also police officers on duty outside the door."
"Even in the monitoring duty room of the hospital, there are our police officers on duty. For your safety, we have arranged so many police officers inside and outside. What is it for? It is not your life safety."
"But the way you are acting now is like letting our hard work go to waste. You have not considered our efforts at all."
"I just wish I could keep the secret secret, but what can you gain by hiding the secret?"
"Want to get the murderer's forgiveness? This is obviously impossible, okay?"
Lu Weiwei was also emotional at this moment, and she blurted out this sermon.
With a sad and angry tone, Lao Mumu, who was lying on the hospital bed, felt uncomfortable.
It was also under Lu Weiwei's repeated scolding that Lao Mu seemed to begin to waver.
He closed his eyes and sighed heavily, seeming to feel ashamed of his behavior.
Seeing this situation, Gu Chen comforted him and said, "Old principal, we have said that people will always make mistakes, but as an educator, don't you have the courage to bear the consequences of your mistakes?"
"Yanzi is your student, and the students who graduated from Baisuifeng Town Central Primary School all follow your example. Could it be that as a principal, you really don't dare to take responsibility?"
"You know who the criminal is, but you want to deliberately hide it? Do you think doing this can really make your conscience better?"
After being lectured by Gu Chen, it seemed that the last bit of pride in Lao Mumu was ruthlessly torn off by Gu Chen.
Sighing heavily, Lao Mumu said with tears in his eyes:
"I know that I will definitely receive retribution. I just didn't expect that this retribution would come so late."
"Wouldn't it be better if I died? Why is it so many years late? Why?"
Speaking of this, Lao Mu seemed to be very emotional.
Although he is now lying in a critical illness bed, his body is still very weak.
However, in the process of communicating with Gu Chen and others, Lao Mumu gradually revealed his tendency to hide the truth.
This was gradually discovered by Gu Chen and others.
After hearing what the old man said, everyone looked at each other.
It can be said that when Lao Mu said this, it was basically confirmed that he was hiding the truth.
So, Gu Chen slowly asked him: "Old principal, do you know who the person who hurt you is?"
"I don't know." Lao Mu said.
Hearing what Lao Mu said, Officer Wang was not angry at all. He pointed at Lao Mu and scolded: "Let me tell you, what on earth do you think?"
"Do you want those murderers to kill you a second time? I can tell you, you are lucky this time to meet people like us and send you to the hospital."
"But next time, I'm afraid I won't be so lucky. It's up to you to decide. It's really... I don't even want to talk about you anymore."
Officer Wang was extremely angry with Lao Mu.
I originally thought that after everyone's earnest words, Lao Mumu would be able to feel something and then inform everyone of the situation.
But you give sincerely, but you still don’t get a sincere answer from the old wood.
Officer Wang now feels that this guy is simply a stubborn old man who is just wasting everyone's time.
If he didn't urgently need to get the whereabouts of Yuan Shasha and Yanzi from Lao Mu, Officer Wang wouldn't have to spend time with him here.
"Senior Brother Wang." Seeing that Officer Wang was in a mood at this moment, Gu Chen quickly reminded him.
"Leave it to you." Officer Wang waved his right hand and sat down on the seat next to him in anger.
Gu Chen glanced at him, took the initiative to walk to the bedside, and continued to communicate with Lao Mu:
"Old principal, do you really not know who the murderer is?"
"I really don't know." Lao Mu said in denial.
"Then can you guess who these people are? Are they from the village?" Gu Chen asked again.
This time, Lao Mumu hesitated for a few seconds, but still gave the answer:
"I estimate that people in the village may have been involved, but the person who attacked me and wanted to kill me seems to be someone else."
"Is there someone else?" Lu Qiang didn't quite understand when he heard this, and continued to ask Lao Mu:
"Old Mumu, you are talking about someone else. Could it be that you know something?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I don't know."
"Hey!" Upon hearing the old wood's answer, Lu Qiang said angrily, "Why are you so stubborn?"
"I really don't know." Breathing heavily, Lao Mumu continued: "But I know one thing, that is, the person who attacked me may be related to someone Yanzi knows."
"Is it related to someone Yanzi knows? Aren't you talking nonsense?" Officer Wang, who was sitting in the back seat drinking water, couldn't help but interject:
"Everyone of us knows that the murderer must have something to do with Yanzi, but the key question is, what does it matter?"
"Besides, you should also be hiding many secrets from us. You haven't told us all the truth."
After a pause, Officer Wang continued: "What you said is quite nice. I feel like I can't get along with the people in the village, but in fact, you..."
"Actually, I am Yanzi's father."
Before Officer Wang finished speaking, Lao Mumu, who was lying on the hospital bed, said something, instantly shocking everyone present.
Lu Weiwei opened her mouth wide and said in disbelief: "You...what did you say? Are you Yanzi's father?"
"Yeah." After hearing Lu Weiwei's words, the old man nodded silently.
"Biological? Or that kind of goddaughter?" Lu Weiwei asked again.
"My dear one," Lao Mumu replied again.
Now everyone was not calm.
It is obvious that Yanzi is an orphan. It is obvious that Yanzi was Gujing Fat who was abandoned by his parents at the entrance of Hemu Village. He was picked up by an old woman in the village and adopted as a child.
But now, Lao Mu said that Yanzi was his biological daughter and that the melon was indeed a bit big for Lu Weiwei to eat.
When Gu Chen heard this, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Do the people in the village know about this?"
"I don't know. Not even the grandmother who adopted Yan Zi knows about this." Lao Mu said with difficulty.
Gu Chen frowned and asked Lao Mumo again: "What is your situation? Can you explain it to us in detail?"
It feels like there are still many unknown secrets hidden in Lao Mu now. At least no one knows it. It turns out that Yanzi's biological father has always been by her side, and he even belongs to Hemu Village.
But he is obviously Yanzi's father, but why? Why doesn't Lao Mumu want to recognize Yanzi?
Thinking of this, Gu Chen was also eager to know the result.
When he saw everyone looking at him with astonished expressions, Lao Mu, who was lying on the hospital bed, seemed relieved.
He sighed heavily and said slowly: "Actually, this matter is a long story."
"At that time, I was still the principal of the Central Primary School in the town of Baisui Peak."
"At that time, our town, Baisui Peak, had a relatively large population. After all, the transportation was not very convenient, and we were in a mountainous area."
"Perhaps the only place that is easily accessible to everyone is Baisui Peak Town. At that time, due to the uneven distribution of educational resources, our central primary school had very few qualified teachers."
After coughing twice, Lao Mumu continued to explain: "Later, the city's Education Bureau sent three teachers from the city to help our Baisui Peak Town Central Primary School solve the teacher problem."
"Swallow's mother is one of them, right?" Gu Chen seemed to have guessed the result after hearing this.
Lao Mumu chuckled twice and said in acquiescence: "Yes, Yanzi's mother is one of the teachers."
"What happened next?" Officer Wang heard this and couldn't wait to ask.
"Later?" Lao Mumu hesitated for a moment, tried hard to remember, and then said again:
"Later, the other two teachers couldn't stand the harsh conditions here, so they just ran away with their buckets. They felt like they were suffering here."
"Originally, Yanzi's mother also wanted to leave, but after my persuasion, she finally reluctantly agreed and stayed temporarily."
"Later, just like this, we educated the students of the central primary school with only a few teachers."
"Those days should be my happiest and happiest time, right?"
Seeing Lao Mumu recalling those events back then, he was still able to smile.
Lu Qiang on the side sighed heavily and continued to ask: "What happened next? How did you and Yanzi's mother get together? Don't you have a family?"
"Yes, I have a family." Seeing Lu Qiang ask about it, Lao Mu said with sadness and anger:
"My wife and I actually have no feelings at all. I was originally from a family of intellectuals, but later on, my family encountered many changes and I was transferred to Centennial Peak."
"At that time, I was also very aggrieved. I was helpless here, but I met my lover. She is from Hemu Village."
"Then you are considered a wife-in-law?" After hearing what Lao Mu said, the quick-tongued Lu Weiwei also blurted out.
But Lao Mumu grinned and took the initiative to admit:
"That's right, I was a bride-in-law at that time, because the huge changes in my family caught me by surprise, and I was assigned to live in such a ravine with no relatives or friends."
"Later, my lover's father was the principal of this central primary school, so after a while, my father-in-law brought us together."
With a faint sigh, Lao Mumu continued: "But actually, I don't like her at all."
"It's ridiculous." After hearing what Lao Mu said, Lu Weiwei said in a bad mood:
"Since you don't like your lover, why do you want to be together again? Aren't you torturing people?"
"You scolded me well." Seeing Lu Weiwei's somewhat indignant mood, Lao Mumu also took the initiative to admit:
"I didn't have much idea at the time. I just felt that when I reached the age, I should get married and have children."
"In addition, the old principal at the time was a nice person and treated me very well. His daughter also treated me well. The atmosphere was so good that marriage became a matter of course."
"However, I later discovered that there was a huge ideological gap between my lover and I. She had a particularly bad temper. The days after our marriage were basically spent in quarrels."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Speaking of this, Lao Mumu's eyes seemed to be full of regret.
Gu Chen nodded slightly and asked: "What happened next? What happened next?"
"Later?" After a brief pause, Lao Mumu adjusted his breathing rhythm and then said again:
"Later, my father-in-law passed away due to illness, and I became the principal of this central primary school. At that time, I almost always spoke in the school. I felt that this small right could bring you endless satisfaction."
"At that time, I had been being stepped on, but suddenly I stood up and my mind began to expand."
With a heavy sigh, Lao Mumu looked at Gu Chen and continued to explain:
"Later, I used the power and connections I had when I was the principal to help find my lover a job in the county and transferred her away from Baisuifeng Town."
"But in Baisui Peak Town, I was still the principal who was loved by everyone. At that time, I was very proud of myself."
"Everyone admires me. They call me principal when I go out. Everyone wants to invite me to their home for dinner."
After a brief pause, Lao Mumu looked at Gu Chen and the others, and said slowly:
"Do you know? At that time, I suddenly felt that it was great to have some power in my hands."
"Didn't the Education Bureau send three teachers here before? One male and two female."
"The man and woman who left have good conditions at home and don't care about this kind of work at all."
"But Yanzi's mother is different. Her family's conditions are very difficult. I can see that she desperately needs this job."
"However, Baisui Peak Town left her with no hope. She even felt that she might have to stay in this ravine forever. This huge gap made her feel sad, ahem."
Having said this, Old Wood continued to cough twice, and then said:
"When I saw Yanzi's mother, it was like seeing me back then. The helplessness and the huge gap made me very psychologically unbalanced."
"At the beginning, it was because my father-in-law gave me a lot of comfort that I got out of the most difficult period during that period."
"So, I understand very well how Yanzi's mother feels. Therefore, I take special care of Yanzi's mother. She can't get used to the food in the school cafeteria, so I ask the cafeteria chef to cook more meals that Yanzi likes."
"When she is sick, I will go to the clinic and pharmacy to buy her medicine. If she wants to go shopping in the city, I will drive her there."
"In this way, after going back and forth, the two of us became friends who talked about everything."
Sighing softly, Lao Mumu thought of those little things at the beginning and sighed helplessly:
"We are very good partners at work, and we are also friends who help each other in life. Gradually, we talk about everything and even get along like buddies."
After saying this, Lao Mumu hesitated for a moment, as if the unpleasantness at the beginning made him hesitant.
When Officer Wang saw this, he quickly asked: "What happened next?"
"Later? Later we all made mistakes." After saying this, Lao Mumu said with tears in his eyes and choked with sobs:
"One day, it was raining heavily outside, and at that time, it happened to be the holiday period."
"I remember that Yanzi's mother stayed alone in the dormitory, and the conditions of the dormitory at that time were also very poor."
"It's that kind of old house, an old house with tiles. The wind was blowing hard and it was raining heavily. Her room started to leak."
"I helped her repair the roof, and I got soaked all over."
"In order to repay me, Yanzi planned to cook me some delicious food in the dormitory. I also went to a nearby shop to buy some drinks on a whim."
"We revealed our anguish and unwillingness while eating, until we both got so drunk that we passed out."
"But when I woke up the next day, I discovered that Yanzi's mother and I were hugging each other and lying on her bed."
After saying this, Lao Mumu choked up and said with sobs:
"I really don't know, how could this be the case? I have always regarded her as my sister."
"Not necessarily?" Officer Wang heard this and couldn't help but said:
"Does it mean that you don't have any feelings for Yanzi's mother?"
"Emotions?" Lao Mumu, who was lying on the hospital bed for a moment, seemed to be thinking about this question as well.
After a moment's pause, he breathed heavily and replied:
"To be honest, there are feelings, but everyone understands it tacitly."
"Perhaps it was because that night, everyone was very excited and drank a lot of wine, so the two lonely hearts found each other to rely on."
"But after this incident, Yanzi's mother knew that she had caused a big disaster, because she knew that I was a family man."
"Moreover, my wife is a very strong person. She even saw her slap her face in front of other people."
Taking a breath, Lao Mumu also choked and replied: "Mother Yanzi knows that once my lover knows about my affair with her, my lover's violent temper will definitely ruin her reputation."
"She started to get scared, so I told her not to be scared and I would handle everything."
With a heavy sigh, Lao Mumu's mood seemed to have reached the peak of sadness at this moment, and he began to cry, even holding his hands and becoming speechless.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei quickly took out a tissue and dipped it around Lao Mu's eye sockets.
Lao Mumu looked at Gu Chen and the others and said with grief and anger: "I hurt Yanzi's mother, but I have to let Yanzi's mother bear the consequences alone."
"I originally thought that this matter would just go away, but later on we often got together and did a lot of things we shouldn't have done."
"It wasn't until one day that Yanzi's mother started to feel unwell and she went to the town's clinic for a check-up that she discovered that she was pregnant."
"Pregnant with a swallow?" Lu Weiwei also blurted out after hearing this.
Lao Mumu did not deny it and replied directly:
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Yes, she is pregnant with swallows. Since she went to the clinic in the town for a checkup, you also know that the place is so big, and the people in the town
, if you don’t see me when you lower your head, you will see you when you raise your head.”
"The news about Yanzi's mother's pregnancy quickly spread everywhere, which made the teachers in the primary school very curious. Who is her man?"
"Yanzi's mother was panicked. She didn't know how to answer? Especially when my lover came back to see me and heard about Yanzi's mother's pregnancy, he also gave her some tips on pregnancy. This scared Yanzi's mother.
"
"Because she knows that once my lover finds out that she is pregnant with her husband's child, then my lover will definitely peel off her skin."
"She began to be afraid, terrified, especially because people in the town were gossiping and asking who Yanzi's mother's husband was? Why didn't everyone know it before?"
With a faint sigh, Lao Mumu said helplessly: "Yanzi's mother was overwhelmed, so she made the excuse that the child's father is one of her classmates who works out of town."
"In this way, the matter of Yanzi's mother's pregnancy gradually subsided."
"However, things will not be hidden for too long after all. As Yanzi's mother's belly grew bigger day by day, one day, she finally found me and said she wanted to leave here."
"I thought she was joking. I even told her that I could support her after the baby was born, but she knew that I couldn't get over the hurdle of being my lover."
Sighing heavily, Lao Mumu also looked frustrated and said helplessly:
"Just like that, one day, Yanzi's mother left quietly."
"My world suddenly became quiet. I tried to find her, but everything seemed to be a thing of the past."
"No one knew the news about Yanzi's mother. Since Yanzi left without saying hello and casually, various rumors soon spread in the town, saying that Yanzi's mother might have been abandoned by her husband."
"But I don't have the courage to say anything. I'm afraid that I will be suspected."
"Just like that, it was also a rainy day and a holiday night. After checking all the classroom doors and windows, I was about to return to the dormitory to rest. But as soon as I arrived at the door, I found a woman's figure appearing in the corner of the corridor."
"I took a closer look and found that this person was Yanzi's mother who had been missing for many days. I was so happy that I was about to ask her where she had been these days. But I found that Yanzi's mother was holding a baby in her hands.
"
"That baby is a swallow?" Lu Qiang said.
Lao Mumu took the initiative to admit: "Yes, that baby girl is Yanzi."
"And Yanzi's mother came back to me because she wanted to give her child to me to raise, because she really couldn't bear the pain."
"She knew that she couldn't be with me, but the child was mine and she couldn't raise it. In desperation, she had no choice but to go back to the Central Primary School in Baisuifeng Town, come to me secretly, and hand the child over to me.
, and left in a hurry, disappearing into the rainy night."
"What?" After hearing this, Lu Weiwei said in disbelief:
"You mean, after Yanzi's mother handed Yanzi over to you, she left just like that?"
"Yes." said the old man who was breathing heavily.
Lu Weiwei frowned and continued to ask: "What happened next? Yanzi's mother never showed up again? Did she just ignore Yanzi?"
"No matter what, it's hard to feed myself, how can I feed the swallows? And carrying the swallows is a burden, which brings a lot of inconvenience to her," Lao Mu said.
Lu Weiwei nodded silently: "That's right. If you let an unmarried woman take care of a child without saying anything else, what do Yanzi's family think? What should she do?"
With a heavy sigh, Lu Weiwei said in a bad mood: "This is all the evil you planted."
"That's right." Faced with Lu Weiwei's scolding, Lao Mumu did not shirk the blame and directly admitted:
"All of these are the evil consequences I planted. I also regret that I hurt Yanzi's mother."
"However, at that time, I was still the principal of the Central Primary School. I knew that Yanzi could not be a burden to me no matter what."
"If people know that this child is mine, then all the resources I have managed in Baisui Peak will be wasted. I can't bear to part with these things, so I have to make a choice."
"So you left the swallow by the ancient well at the entrance of Hemu Village?" Officer Wang asked with raised eyebrows.
Lao Mumu sighed softly: "There is nothing we can do about it. When things get to this point, I have no other choice."
"However, Yan Zi is my biological flesh and blood after all. I can't bear to abandon her like this and let her fend for herself."
"I'm a little reluctant to give it to other people. I'm afraid I won't be able to see Yanzi. After all, Yanzi is my daughter."
The old man with a sad face sniffed and choked with sobs as he said:
"So, I had no other choice, so I chose to go up the mountain all night. Taking advantage of the dark and windy night, I secretly drove Yanzi to a place some distance away from our Hemu Village."
"I didn't dare to drive back to the village, so I secretly held Yanzi and placed her next to the ancient well at the end of the village."
"Because there was a simple little pavilion next to the ancient well at the entrance of the village to keep out the rain, so I put her there and hid in the grass nearby."
"Haha, you are really capable." After hearing this, Lu Weiwei's eyes were moist and she said angrily:
"Your daughter, are you so patient? You have to know that she is still so young. If you do this, she will most likely die there?"
"I know, cough, I know everything." When he said this, Lao Mumu suddenly became emotional. After coughing a few times, he said with a sad and angry look:
"I feel sorry for her more than anyone else, but I have no choice, I have no way to support her, and I can't admit that she is my child."
"So, I could only use this inhumane method to throw the swallow at the entrance of Hemu Village, then hide in the dark and watch her being picked up by an old lady from our Hemu Village."
After sighing all kinds of things, Lao Mumu also sobbed and said: "The moment I saw the swallow being picked up, I cried very sadly. It's because I don't have the ability to make her life better."
"So, when I saw the swallows being picked up by the villagers in our village, I felt relieved and went down the mountain on a rainy night and returned to school."
"It is precisely because the villagers in Hemu Village adopted the swallows that I can feel at ease. Even the old lady who picked up the swallows said that she encountered some difficulties when she wanted to adopt the swallows."
"I led the villagers in Hemu Village to help her handle these formalities, because I didn't want to see Yanzi sent to the orphanage. I wanted to watch her grow up."
With a faint sigh, Lao Mumu continued: "So, when Yanzi was in elementary school and I saw her being bullied by those children, I would immediately stand up for Yanzi."
"I know that what Yanzi has endured is all caused by me, and I must make it up to her."
"Therefore, when Yanzi was in primary school, she was boarding at school. I took special care of her and even often cooked food for Yanzi myself."
"Although we are actually a father-daughter relationship, we cannot recognize each other. I can only be her primary school teacher and her principal."
After sniffing, Lao Mumo's sad emotions welled up in his heart, and he continued to choke and say:
"That feeling is really uncomfortable. I even thought about it, why don't I admit it? But thinking that everything I own will be ruined because of the swallow and my reputation, I still hesitate."
"Until I see Yanzi leave Baisui Peak Town and study elsewhere after graduating from elementary school, I will take the time to visit her."
"That's why Yanzi has such a good relationship with you in Hemu Village, right?" Listening to what Lao Mu said, Officer Wang couldn't help but say.
Lao Mumu did not deny it, but also took the initiative to admit it: "Yes, I have been Yanzi's first teacher and Yanzi's first principal."
"In addition, during the days when Yanzi was in primary school, I always took good care of her, and Yanzi has always been very grateful to me."
"So, it is inevitable that we have a good relationship."
"This is why Yanzi always visits me every time she returns to Hemu Village. But this time, she seems to know something? Her attitude towards me doesn't seem to be the same as before."
