"Don't come here."

Tan Lu took a step back, resisting Zhang Yuxin's approach.

He is now completely confused and wonders if he really has a mental problem.

He clearly experienced everything himself and saw with his own eyes how Zhang Yuxin held the broken porcelain pieces and tried to kill him viciously.

But no one believed him.

He couldn't produce any evidence, and every word he said seemed to prove that he was lying.

The bloodstains on the sheets disappeared, and the broken porcelain pieces on the ground were also collected into the trash can.

According to Zhang Yuxin, she accidentally knocked over and broke the cup at noon.

Tan Lu didn't believe it. There was water in the cup. Even if the floor was wiped clean, what about the floor mat?

There was a foot mat placed next to the bed, just a few centimeters away from where the water cup fell, so there must be water marks on the foot mat.

Tan Lu squatted down and picked up the foot pad, eager to prove to the police that what he said was true.

But...no.

He felt it all over and found that the pad was clean without any water.

"How could this happen? Why did you do it?"

The police were speechless and felt more and more that Tan Lu was acting.

I have never seen someone of his age still behave like this. He would even involve them in a quarrel between a couple, and never tell the truth from beginning to end.

I'm afraid he didn't do that to the ear himself.

The police were not oblivious to what was happening outside. They knew something about the fact that Tan Lu was at the center of the storm.

Tan Lu said his wife wanted to kill him, then said there was blood on the bed, then said the foot mat was wet.

What happened? Where's the blood? Where's the water?

Zhang Yuxin came over and said, "It will be the beginning of summer in two days, and the weather will be warmer. What got wet at noon should be completely dry by now, right?"

noon?

How come it's noon?

It's obviously night...

Yes, but how could the mat be dry?

My ears and head hurt so much that I lost my balance and stumbled and fell.

Zhang Yuxin bent down to help him, and Tan Lu subconsciously dodged.

He was actually a little afraid of her now.

Zhang Yuxin apologized to the two policemen with a guilty look on her face: "I'm sorry to bother you. My husband...ah..."

She sighed, and said with sadness and helplessness: "He has been in a bad mood recently and can't sleep all night. So recently, he has to drink some wine every night to fall asleep.

Today....oh, maybe I drank a little too much, sorry, he's been having a hard time lately...

Of course, I know this is not an excuse to make a false police report, and I apologize to you on his behalf."

Zhang Yuxin looked very sincere and even bowed.

The police spoke to Tan Lu again and confirmed that he might have drunk a little, which led to the current situation.

For this, he criticized and persuaded her for a few words and then left.

what?

How to confirm that Tan Qi was drunk?

Of course, I would ask the person involved directly.

Tan Lu refused to admit it at first and kept saying that he was not drunk.

But when the police asked him if he had been drinking, he hesitated.

Because he actually drank it.

Zhang Yuxin did not lie.

Tan Lu originally had the habit of having a couple of drinks before going to bed. After all, he was over 50 years old, and he slept very little, so it was difficult for him to fall asleep.

A couple of drinks at night can help him fall asleep and have a slight sleeping effect.

I've been feeling upset lately and drinking more than before. Tonight I made up my mind and drank a whole bottle of red wine.

But he has a good alcohol tolerance. It's just red wine, not white wine. This amount really won't make him drunk, let alone drunk to the point of having hallucinations.

But he has no evidence.

He had indeed drunk alcohol, the foot mat beside the bed was dry, and the sheets and quilt covers were clean, without a trace of anything.

He...can't explain it.

He couldn't help but wonder if he really drank too much, or if he was under too much pressure in the past few days and had mental problems.

Could it be that...he really used the broken porcelain pieces to pierce his ears?

How can it be?

The police left, and Tan Lu felt very insecure. "You...you go to sleep. I'll sleep in the guest room."

He couldn't figure it out, so he could only run away temporarily.

After Tan Lu left, Zhang Yuxin stepped forward and closed the door tightly, still leaning her hand on the door, and let out a deep breath.

Time is too tight.

Almost, almost discovered.

They don't have a nanny at home, but they do hire a long-term part-time worker to help them with the cleanup.

Unlike a nanny, hourly workers do not have to stay in their employer's home for a long time. They can just clean up and leave. They will feel more comfortable at home.

But there are pros and cons. Part-time workers will not stay at your home all the time, so sometimes you still have to do some things yourself.

Tan Lu is a hands-off person and won't get involved in any household chores, including buying things for the house.

From top to bottom, from big to small, all the daily necessities in the house were bought by Zhang Yuxin.

Zhang Yuxin has a little obsessive-compulsive disorder, so the decoration of each room, including the bedding and the colors of the curtains, are all matched.

She doesn't like fancy things, so the bed sheets and quilt covers are all plain. Although the four sets of clothes in the same room are not of the same style, they are all of similar colors.

Men are not that sensitive to colors, and he was probably too nervous. He kept clamoring that the bloodstain was gone and he didn't notice that the four-piece set on the bed had been changed.

If he had been more careful and opened the dryer at home, he would have found the four-piece set that should have been on the bed.

Fortunately, she didn't buy a washer-dryer, so she could dry the foot pad while washing the sheets and quilt covers.

She had long guessed that Tan Lu would call the police.

The location of the car at home can be seen on the phone. Seeing that she was not far from home, the sheets were not completely dried yet, and there was no time left, so she could only unplug the dryer, turn off all the lights in the room, and pretend to be asleep.

She fell asleep, so she didn't know whether Tan Lu stabbed herself or not, nor did she know what happened.

Tan Lu thought Zhang Yuxin was crazy, and in fact she thought so too.

On the last day of recording "Marriage..." in the studio, she wrote one short essay after another in her heart.

She suspected that she had been depressed for so many years and might be mentally ill, so she went to see a doctor the next morning.

......

'squeak'

The subtle sound of the door opening seemed somewhat obvious in the quiet night.

Zhang Yuxin lay steadily without moving, her eyes fixed on the man who was lying on the ground and crawling forward cautiously like a turtle.

The person on the bed didn't move, and Tan Lu felt relieved. He climbed in carefully, worried that Zhang Yuxin would wake up, and didn't even dare to turn on the flashlight.

Instead, he turned on the screen of his mobile phone, pointed it at the trash can with the dim light from the screen, and picked out the fragments bit by bit with his gloved hand.

He put it in a sealed bag and was about to leave. When he turned around, he seemed to see something flash by in the faint light of his cell phone, but he didn't notice it.

He crawled out two steps, his body stiffened, and he slowly pointed the phone screen at the person on the bed.

When I met those bright eyes, my phone fell to the ground with a thud.

Without stopping, he grabbed his phone and ran out in a panic.

Those eyes...are so scary.

Or perhaps it could be said that Zhang Yuxin is too scary now.

After sharing the same bed for nearly 30 years, it was as if I didn't recognize her overnight.

Thinking about how she was desperate to kill him, it seemed like she had no idea what happened afterwards.

Maybe she has schizophrenia?

Three hours ago, Tan Lu suspected that he had a mental problem. He lay on the bed in the guest room, extremely nervous and unable to fall asleep.

An hour passed, then two hours passed, and the person who couldn't sleep and was full of wild thoughts seemed to have cleared the fog and realized that the one who was sick was not himself, but Zhang Yuxin.

Although he didn't know where the blood on the bed sheet and the water on the floor mat went and why they disappeared, the broken pieces of the water cup were still there.

He planned to use the broken porcelain pieces to check fingerprints, call the police, and prove that Zhang Yuxin really wanted to kill him.

He was discovered and panicked, but luckily he had already got the broken porcelain pieces. Tan Lu didn't dare to stay at home anymore, so he left with the broken porcelain pieces and planned to find a hotel to stay in first.

Seeing Tan Lu driving away from the window, Zhang Yuxin guessed what he was going to do, but she didn't care.

She was the one who cleaned up the broken porcelain pieces, so it makes sense even if there were her fingerprints.

In fact, the most important thing is the piece that was inserted into Tan Lu's ear.

But he went to the hospital for treatment, and there was no telling how many gloved hands had touched the porcelain tile, and the fingerprints must have been wiped clean long ago.

Moreover, it is not certain where the broken porcelain is, and Tan Lu is not that careful.
