When he returned to the ward, he unexpectedly saw a person sitting here, talking to his grandmother He Xiaomei.
"Oh...you're back."
The person sitting here turned out to be Mr. Ma. Ma Houde turned around and took a look, smiled and said: "I was a little worried about Grandma He, so I came over to take a look again."
He Xiaomei nodded at this time and said kindly: "Jiahui, this Mr. Ma is really a good person and has a good heart."
"Yes...really." He nodded, "Grandma, you take a rest first, I'll talk to him about something."
With that said, he motioned for Ma Houde to come out.
The two of them were walking in the corridor away from this ward, and he said: "Officer, didn't I tell you to leave me alone? You... don't bother me anymore."
Ma Zir said, "I just care about the old man's health. Isn't this okay?"
He paused, took a deep breath and said: "Officer Ma, if you are really just here to visit, I welcome you. But if you are here because of my mother...that woman's affairs, please go back."
Ma Houde suddenly narrowed his eyes, nodded and said: "Okay, I won't be a lobbyist for the time being. You take good care of your grandma and go back."
He finally breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, turned and left.
"Wait a minute, you dropped something." Mahoude suddenly shouted this time.
He was stunned and turned around. He saw Ma Houde picking up a medicine bottle from the ground, stretching out his hand and saying, "Your medicine fell off."
"It's not mine." He just glanced at it casually, then lost his attention and said casually: "Maybe the nurse dropped it."
"Is it really not yours?" Ma Houde suddenly asked again.
But he seemed impatient: "I'm fine, I don't have any pain, I don't need to take medicine, is that okay?"
Ma Houde slapped his forehead at this moment and said as if he suddenly realized: "I think about it, this is indeed not your medicine. I just borrowed it from the doctor... But do you know who this medicine is prescribed to?
?”
"How do I know so much?"
"This is Liu Jiahui's medicine..." Ma Houde narrowed his eyes, "You would forget the medicine that was prescribed to you? It's really strange? Isn't it?"
He seemed to remember something all of a sudden, his face changed dramatically, he lowered his head and said, "I don't know what you said... You, don't come to me again!"
With that said, he quickly turned around and left.
Ma Houde stopped chasing this time and just shouted loudly: "Gu Jiajie, you are Gu Jiajie, right? The person who jumped down from your building that day was Liu Jiahui...your brother, right?"
"
He turned around suddenly!
It was difficult to conceal the shock and panic on his face.
When Ma Houde saw the other party stop, he looked at a loss. He was so experienced that he sighed secretly and walked slowly, "Before you come back, I have asked a doctor here. Liu Jiahui
I already know about his condition... Science and technology are very advanced nowadays. We only need to examine the body lying at the forensic doctor's office to know whether he was sick before his death... And you only need to do an examination.
That will tell you if you are sick."
He was approached step by step and backed away step by step.
Ma Houde said calmly and quickly: "Why did Liu Jiahui die downstairs in your house? Why are you here? What did you two do? Tell me! Is Liu Jiahui's death because of you?"
"No, no! Don't come here... don't come here... don't come here!"
"If you don't tell me, then I'm going to ask your grandma to see if she knows about this matter." Mahoude still had a sullen face... and used some adult despicableness to make the child surrender.
He didn't really intend to ask Miss He anything, he just intended to break the child's psychological defense.
Even though it's dirty, it's still something that can't be done.
"Don't! Don't tell grandma about this! Please, don't!" He immediately begged: "If grandma knows... what my brother did will be in vain."
"You... what on earth did you do?" Ma Houde frowned.
He... Gu Jiajie took a deep breath and smiled bitterly: "I don't know... I don't know why I agreed at that time. It's too late to regret it now."
Gu Jiajie looked at Ma Private and said with difficulty: "Two months ago, I came here to see a doctor and accidentally met someone who looked the same as me."
"He is Liu Jiahui, your brother?"
Gu Jiajie nodded: "I didn't expect that I would see my brother one day. Because, I remember hearing my mother say that my brother drowned when he was a child... Later, my brother and I recognized each other.
, I didn’t know what happened back then.”
Sitting on a stool in the hospital corridor, Gu Jiajie covered his face with his hands and told bit by bit what had happened in the past two months.
"Officer, you should know that my dad often beats me in private, right?"
"Well, Gu Feng did admit to this matter."
Gu Jiajie smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know why, but I have been unwilling to tell my mother about this... My father... Gu Feng always beats me in private, but in my eyes, there is no difference between my mother and him. She
He has been forcing me..."
He grabbed his collar and said painfully: "Sometimes, sometimes I even feel like I can't breathe. I want to leave this home, I want to leave these two people... My brother and I talked a lot
What happened after the separation. He knew my situation, so he suddenly told me that it was better to let him take my place. Anyway, we didn't seem to have anything different."
"You mean...you and Liu Jiahui have already switched identities?" Ma Houde said in surprise.
"Not often." Gu Jiajie shook his head and said, "Usually as long as my dad comes back that day, we will switch over."
Ma Houde nodded: "No wonder Gu Feng said that when he hit you last time, you suddenly resisted... It was actually your brother who resisted, right?"
Gu Jiajie nodded, he let out a long breath, and rested his head on the wall behind the chair, "I am actually a very cowardly person. Although I didn't experience it personally, I saw my brother's
After the wound...I suddenly really didn't want to go back to that home. At this time, my brother suddenly looked at me and said..."
"What did he say?"
Gu Jiajie stared blankly at the light on the ceiling and said softly: "He said...it's better to let him replace me and die."
"You...you agreed?"
Gu Jiajie closed his eyes and nodded, "I still don't know why I agreed. I've always been thinking... maybe it's because I want to take revenge on my mother and my father. Maybe I really
I want to leave and don’t want to live this kind of life anymore... Or maybe, I can’t bear to see my brother in such pain. Do you know? I once saw my brother fall next to me when he was sick, that kind of
Looks like pain."
Gu Jiajie shook his head: "My brother doesn't have many memories of me or my mother in his life. From childhood to adulthood, it was his grandma who took care of him. For my brother, only grandma is the most important thing.
, his only relative. He didn't want to leave her alone before his grandma, and leave her alone in this world. So, if Gu Jiajie died instead of Liu Jiahui, grandma would have someone to take care of her, and
...and I will be free."
Ma Houde wiped his face and couldn't believe how the two children could come up with such a method. He couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "It's ridiculous! I can't bear to make your grandma sad. Are you willing to see your mother sad?"
Have you been following her these days? Haven't you seen how sad she is?"
"I know! But what can I do? I didn't even know beforehand, but my brother jumped that day! He died that day! We hadn't even discussed the matter yet, and he had already made his own decision.
He didn't even get my consent...I can't help it!"
Gu Jiajie also became a little more excited: "How many times...how many times did I want to go up and tell her...Mom, I am Jiajie. But...but I can't do it! I can't...I can't
Dare to tell her that I...I lied to her like this. I...I shouldn't have promised my brother. He said that even if grandma recovers from the surgery, she won't have much time...as long as she can spend this time with her well.
Just keep her for a few years, and wait until she has passed her last days peacefully. At that time, it doesn't matter whether I appear in front of my mother as him or tell the truth."
"But that day...that day when I saw a group of people surrounding me downstairs and saw my mother unable to cry and collapsed on the ground...when I saw the white cloth covering my brother...
...I..." Gu Jiajie said tremblingly: "I...I regret it."
After listening, Ma Houde shook his head and fell silent for a while.
After working on cases for so many years, I have experienced weird cases, but this kind of case... Ma privater didn't know what he should say at this time.
It's not that he couldn't see the grief, fear and regret of the child in front of him.
"I...I didn't hide it from you on purpose, Officer Ma."
"I understand." Ma Houde nodded. He patted Gu Jiajie's shoulder and said with a wry smile: "But at least... this matter is not really a bad thing. But, do you think that if this continues,
Is it really good?"
"I don't know, I don't know what I should do."
Ma Houde shook his head, but suddenly asked: "By the way, there is one more thing I don't understand. Why do several strange text messages appear on your phone?"
Gu Jiajie said: "Are you talking about the teacher?"
Ma Private nodded.
Gu Jiajie said: "My brother said that it is best not to let anyone find out about this matter. The cram school incident happened just before, so he thought that even if the police had any suspicion, he would mislead you. The cram school has always been
There were rumors about this strange teacher, so we left this message on our phones..."
Ma Houde opened his mouth and was stunned for a moment.
He didn't mean to question Gu Jiajie's words, he was just curious...curious about what the dead Liu Jiahui, him...this child, had experienced.
This idea, this request... was just because he hoped that after his death, someone could take his place and take care of He Xiaomei in her last few years, and then by the way, Gu Jiajie, as his younger brother, could temporarily leave that family.
?
"By the way, Officer Ma, I..."
Gu Jiajie suddenly stopped talking. He wanted to say that he saw his brother, and he still seemed like a living person.
However, as soon as the words came to his lips, he endured them.
"Why, is there anything else missing?"
"No...I, I just want to say, can you not tell my mother about this first?"
Ma Houde sighed and said: "Are you going to keep this matter a secret? To put it bluntly, even if you pretend to be your brother to take care of your grandma, your grandma has lived with your brother for more than ten years after all... She
Is it true that you can’t recognize or feel it?”
"I don't know, I can only take it one step at a time." Gu Jiajie shook his head.
"Okay, I'll pretend I don't know about this for now...but I hope you can confess it to your mother yourself."
With a trace of melancholy, Ma Houde left the hospital.
…
On the road, looking at the people and cars reversing, Ma Zir suddenly thought, this kid Liu Jiahui has suffered so much, doesn't he feel uncomfortable in his heart?
Twins came into this world at almost the same time.
Their life trajectories are completely different.
"he……"
On the way, he stopped and Ma Houde suddenly realized, "He has resentment in his heart, very deep, very deep resentment!"
…
…
He revisited his old place again, starting from Riverside Park, looking back all the way without looking back, walking the same way he came, until finally he returned to the original place.
This amusement center.
It wasn't closing time yet, so the door to the amusement center was open. However, the coin seller at the front desk lowered his head and watched the video on his mobile phone, and didn't notice anyone walking in.
He didn't need to pay attention because he couldn't see anything.
He couldn't hear the music from the machines that were still running throughout the amusement center, because he was wearing earplugs... so he couldn't hear it, and one of the machines was turned on again.
That turtle-beating machine.
"about there."
Watching him silently as he picked up the hammer and struck it again and again, Luo Qiu slowly closed his eyes.
This walking corpse does indeed have no soul... not at first.
But there are some things left in this body that will last for a long time, and these things are like seeds, finally breaking out of the ground at this moment.
A new soul born from the remaining attachment.
For the first time, watching the birth of a new soul, Luo Qiu could no longer care about anything else.
As if waiting for the moment when the epiphyllum blooms in the middle of the night, Luo Qiu listened quietly, listening... to the sound of the first stirrings of soul rebirth.
But Boss Luo opened his eyes at this moment and said softly: "I thought you would not care about this matter anymore... Miss Heishui."
Behind him is black water.
And behind Black Water is Shen Meixuan. (To be continued.)
