heart poison

In the library and archives of No. [-] Middle School in Los Angeles, the police officers found the letter that Shan Nonghan said.

There were four letters in total, and they were locked in a small cabinet dedicated to Shan Nonghan.The letter is filled with the sadness of a distraught mother, and the pain of losing her son in old age is filled between the lines.She begged Shan Nonghan to avenge Man Xiaocheng, and swore that Man Xiaocheng was Shen Nonghan's flesh and blood.

——You blame me for not forgiving you, but how can I forgive you?I was defiled by you before I was about to get married, and my life was completely changed by you. I couldn't get over the hurdle in my heart.

——My days are numbered, I don't have the ability to kill those who killed Xiaocheng.When he was young, I didn't dare to get too close to him, because when I saw him, I would think of what you did to me.I have been regretting all these years, regretting giving birth to him, regretting not having the heart to kill him.But now, he died innocently and tragically, but I am seriously ill, and I don't even have the ability to avenge him.I am not fit to be a mother.but you can!Xiaocheng is your son, and you gave him his life.Didn't you always want me to forgive you?You avenge him!As long as you avenge him, I will forgive you!In my next life, I will serve you like an ox or a horse to Yunfang!

——When necessary, you can ask Man Guojun for help.Don't you think I'm joking.Man Guojun hates me, Xiaocheng, and you even more.But I can see that he still has feelings for Xiaocheng, and he also wants to avenge Xiaocheng.It's just that he was born cowardly, and even more cowardly after being hit, he has no courage.Go to him, he will be a good helper.

——Xiao Shen, thank you.

——As long as you kill those people, I will forgive you, I can only count on you!

……

The letter has been handed over to the Trace Inspection Division for handwriting identification, and everyone who has read the contents sighs.

Sporadic words, together with the confessions of Shen Nonghan and Man Guojun, are enough to outline Xiang Yunfang's painful and depressed life.

What Shen Nonghan did back then can be said to have ruined the life of Xiang Yunfang, an ordinary female worker.

If there is no Shen Nonghan, Xiang Yunfang will be like all girls waiting to be married, happily waiting for her lover Man Guojun to marry her.After the lively wedding, they moved into the small house allocated by the factory together.Xiang Yunfang was pregnant with a child, and Man Guojun worked harder.After the child is born, the family of three will lead a life no different from that of ordinary dual-earner families.Husband and wife may quarrel over trivial matters, live from eight to six, follow the rules, not rich, but there is no need to worry about daily necessities.The child is naughty and makes a lot of trouble at home, but after nightfall, the family gathers around a table for dinner, which is quite enjoyable.

But all these seemingly ordinary things that ordinary people can have have all become Xiang Yunfang's unattainable dreams.

She kindly delivered food and medicine to her sick friends, but before she got married, she encountered unexpected disasters.

The place where she was raped was in the home of a single man, and the man was a friend who she took care of as a younger brother.

Shannon Han is a teacher, an "engineer of the human soul".

How do teachers make mistakes?

Can she ask for help?Can she talk about it?

What are the consequences?

Not to mention more than 30 years ago, even now, there must be someone pointing at her.

"Look! It's that woman who was raped before she got married! Where is the face of her husband's family? Can a raped woman marry back home? I think it's better not to get married. , Oh, sorry!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, do you believe her when she said she was raped? I think it's an affair, she's cheap, she's coquettish! If she's neither coquettish nor coquettish, will she be raped? There are so many people living in that single dormitory." Man, why don't you see other girls being raped? Just her being raped? If you don't know how to love yourself, can you blame others? I heard that she took the initiative to go to Teacher Shen's house at that time! Every girl ran away from a male teacher What are you going to do at home? I don’t even believe that there is no ghost. The lonely man and widow are in the same room, it’s like a dry fire! Anyway, I don’t believe that she was raped. I must be empty and itchy.”

"That's right! She must have voluntarily done it, and she regretted it after it was over, or she didn't agree on any conditions, so she suddenly made a fuss. Hey, this teacher Shen is also unlucky enough to have such a coquettish and cheap lunatic on the stand People have gone to his house to seduce him. It is not normal for him not to give any reaction, but once this reaction is given, it will be a big game. Hey, this way, I don’t think he can even be a teacher, right? It's a pity, the future has been ruined by Xiang Yunfang."

"Do you know that if a woman really wants to resist, it's impossible for a man to attack her. My aunts and aunts all say that! Xiang Yunfang, let's take a step back, even if it's Teacher Shen Conspiring against her, thinking about her, she didn't make up her mind to resist. I understand this kind of woman's thoughts best!"

"The worst thing is her in-law's family. If I were her mother-in-law, I would never let my son marry her. It's too embarrassing, and the ancestors will be pissed off!"

"Man Guojun shouldn't be willing, right? Such a good young man, down-to-earth, diligent, and has been a production model for several years in a row. There are many girls who are willing to date him. If I were him, I would immediately send Xiang Yunfang Refunded. Who is willing to marry a wife who has been 'unsealed' and go home?"

"This woman, it's better to do her duty. Xiang Yunfang doesn't love herself very much. I often see her chatting with men, and they are so happy."

"She is mean, she is coquettish, she deserves it!"

I can't face the cold eyes and harsh words of others, let alone imagine what will happen to Man Guojun when he knows the truth.Xiang Yunfang did not dare to confide, did not dare to show a trace of abnormality, and only prayed that she would not conceive a child.

If there is no child, and Shannon Han doesn't bother her anymore, she can still pretend that nothing happened.

But a month later, she found that she didn't have her period.

She was terrified to the extreme, and she was reluctant to kill the child.

After all, it was her flesh and blood that grew in her body.

What if the child belongs to Guojun—this is her last hope.

But after the child was born, her last hope was also dashed.

Back then, people had never heard of paternity testing, and even checking blood types was very rare.She didn't dare to ask the doctors and nurses she knew in the factory hospital. She only dared to check quietly by herself. After reading a lot of books, she finally found that the child's blood type did not match Man Guojun's.

Matched, it is Shannon Han.

This child is a debt left to her by Shannon Han.

She seemed to have fallen into an abyss, bruised all over by guilt and fear.

There were many moments when she even wanted to strangle the baby in swaddling.

Every night, she was crying quietly.

Shan Nonghan didn't continue to pester her - no one wanted to burn jade and stone together, Shan Nonghan still had a career, and he was more unwilling to let the secret be exposed than she was.She buried everything in her heart and carried a heavy psychological burden on her back.Because she knew she was sorry for Man Guojun and the whole Man family, she treated Man Guojun almost every way, took care of all the housework, and served him wholeheartedly.

Man Guojun can be regarded as a good husband, he loves her dearly, and wants to share housework with her, but she refuses to let him.Man Guojun had no choice but to spend the spare energy on his son Man Xiaocheng.

Sometimes Xiang Yunfang can't face Man Xiaocheng, but she longs to get close to Man Xiaocheng.Man Xiaocheng was almost brought up by Man Guojun.It is better for Man Xiao to marry Man Guojun than to marry Yunfang.

However, Man Xiaocheng is more sensible than many children of the same age, has excellent grades, never wastes money, and helps with housework when he returns home.

Every year on Xiang Yunfang's birthday, he would put his arms around Xiang Yunfang and say "Happy Birthday Mom, Dad and I love you".

Every word of "love" from the son is like a punch to the head.

Every day, Xiang Yunfang lives in anxiety and anxiety. On the one hand, guilt is about to overwhelm her, and on the other hand, she is afraid that Man Guojun will know that Man Xiao is not her own.

But life is still moving forward, and life has to go on no matter how difficult it is.

Not everyone has the courage to break with the past.

Not everyone has the courage to choose death and give up.

After all, she is just a weak, lonely, ordinary wife and mother.

Later, Man Guojun was seriously injured and had to retire from the production position. She took over Man Guojun's shift, carrying heavy work and the whole family on one shoulder.

After being injured, Man Guojun's temperament changed drastically, and she followed Man Guojun in everything, not letting Man Guojun do any housework, let alone letting Man Guojun get angry.

The employees in the measuring tool factory said that she and Man Guojun were simply a model couple.

But is this really the case?

Shouldn't the life of a model couple be sweet and happy?

Why is her life only depression and pain?

Love can't stand wasted time, she took care of Man Guojun all her life, not because of love, but because of shame.

As for Shan Nonghan, she only had hatred from the beginning to the end, and she avoided it in fear.

But the tragic death of her only son, the grief and despair of being a mother even suppressed her hatred for Shan Nonghan.

—Please, avenge our son.

——If you take revenge, I will forgive you.

In the last letter, Xiang Yunfang thanked Shen Nonghan.

"It's hard to imagine how she spent her life, it's so pitiful." Liu Zhiqin shook his head, "After decades of keeping a secret that made her feel ashamed and scared, she was finally seriously ill and sent away by someone with white hair. The black-haired man also asked the man who ruined her life to help her fulfill her wish."

"Shen Nonghan still claims to be righteous, and until now he doesn't think he did anything wrong." Hua Chong said, "Among the three of them, he is the most sinful one, but he has lived a good life for decades."

"So, in fact, Man Guojun is also very miserable." Zhang Mao sighed straight, "He is the most innocent, right? He was deceived by Xiang Yunfang for so many years, and he couldn't let go of his feelings for his son. In the end, he endured it for revenge. Humiliation and hatred, he was in the same boat as Shannon Han. Shannon Han still used Xiao Chaogang to control him, no matter how much he hated Shannon Han, he had to buy time for Shannon Han. Hey!"

"Shen Nonghan promised to kill four people, but the last one was not Xiao Chaogang, but Man Guojun." Hua Chong said, "This man is too insidious, how can an honest man like Man Guojun fight against him."

"By the way." Liu Zhiqin asked: "When Feng Xuemin was killed, how did Shen Nonghan lure him to the garbage dump?"

"Shen Nonghan confessed that he was really not ready to kill Feng Xuemin that day." Hua Chong lit a cigarette, holding two fingers, "Stalking is stalking, but he still wants to find a better opportunity. Seeing Feng Xuemin walking towards the hotel, he almost gave up committing the crime, but Feng Xuemin lost his wallet and had to return to the alley."

"Shen Nonghan found the wallet?"

"No, he just saw Feng Xuemin looking for something along the way, as if he had lost something." Hua Chong exhaled smoke, his voice a little hoarse, "He thought it was an opportunity, so he put his wallet on the ground and pretended to pick it up. .”

"Feng Xuemin was fooled." Liu Zhiqin could already imagine the situation at that time, "Shen Nonghan picked up the wallet and ran to the old community, Feng Xuemin chased all the way to the garbage dump. The boy who played the game heard The sound of running came from them, and then Shen Nonghan used an electric shock tool to knock Feng Xuemin down."

Zhang Mao expressed emotion, "So, Feng Xuemin's life should have been a calamity. He didn't lose his wallet sooner or later, but he lost it that night. The next day we found him and Manchurian If Xiaocheng’s relationship is established, we will protect him. If he hadn’t had a car accident during the day, played mahjong on Fengchao South Road at night, or lost his wallet, he wouldn’t have been killed.”

"You can't say that, no one's life 'deserves' a disaster. He was targeted by criminals, he didn't deserve his bad luck." Liu Zhiqin said: "Besides, things in the world are linked together. Isn't it the same for Cheng's accident? Luo Xingshan, Lu Ke, Feng Xuemin, whoever is absent from the established facts, the falling glass will not hit Man Xiaocheng."

After Hua Chong finished smoking, he let out a sigh of relief, turned his head and said, "Brother Xiaoliu."

"Ok?"

"Go eat, come back to work after eating. Yin Ziqiao is still waiting for us to find his murderer."

??

In the alley opposite the Municipal Bureau, the bosses are very good at doing business. The same facade sells different things in summer and winter.

The restaurant that sells crayfish in summer has now sold mutton soup pot.The stall that sold cold shrimp with ice powder in summer is now selling fried chestnuts with sugar.

The owner of the egg bakery has not yet closed the stall, soliciting business with a smile.

Hua Chong had already walked to the door of a mutton soup pot restaurant, smelled the aroma of egg baked cakes, took a look, and turned his steps.

"Flower team?" Liu Zhiqin turned around.

"The egg cake you bought at that stall?" Hua Chong pointed.

Liu Zhiqin saw it, "Well, do you want to eat now?"

"Didn't Cao Han and Zhang Mao eat all the things you bought for me?" Hua Chong smiled, "I only ate one."

Liu Zhi understood, "I'll go buy it for you right now."

"Young man, I remember you! How about it, you won't forget the egg cakes from my old Huang's family after you eat them? Hahaha, let me tell you, my family is the most authentic in the whole of Los Angeles. Others', tsk, It’s not as delicious as mine!” The boss is a fat uncle in his fifties, and he talks a lot, “Do you want dozens of them this time? Are you going to do them all again?”

Liu Zhiqin rubbed the bridge of his nose, "Let's forget about dozens, I can't eat so many."

"Hey! Why can't you eat it? Didn't you eat dozens of them last time?" The boss rolled up his sleeves, "You young people are hardworking, working hard, and under great pressure. You should eat more. My egg cake Ah, everyone from far and near agrees that girls will become more beautiful after eating, and boys will become more handsome after eating!"

"Come four." Hua Chong couldn't listen any longer, and looked at Liu Zhiqin after speaking, "There are two of us."

"Okay." Liu Zhiqin asked: "You choose the taste."

"If there are two for one person, how about two creamy meat floss and two beef cowpeas?" The boss said, "These two are my family's signatures, one is sweet and the other is salty, eat salty first and then sweet, life is as happy as a fairy .”

Hua Chong turned his head and laughed softly: "I'm a little embarrassed to hear him talk."

Liu Zhiqin also whispered: "Me too."

"I'm not embarrassed, why are you two embarrassed?" The boss actually heard it, "There is a life that is salty and sweet, isn't it a life like a fairy? We little people don't want to be successful or get rich overnight. It’s good to be smooth and stable. You see, I push a cart to sell egg baked cakes. I don’t actually make a lot of money a day, but I rely on this craft to support my family. Do you think I should feel happy?”

Before Hua Chong and Liu Zhiqin could answer, the boss had already answered, "Well! Hahaha!"

Hearing the boss's hearty laughter and seeing the boss's wrinkled face, Hua Chong felt a lot more relieved.

Being in the serious crime team of the criminal investigation detachment, one must be accompanied by distortion and crime.Normal people will not be taken to the interrogation room of the Serious Crime Squad, and almost all the perpetrators brought there are psychopaths and brutal criminals.

The job of the serious crime police is to deal with these people, analyze their sinister hearts, and even bring themselves into their roles, feel their psychological state before and after committing a crime, and play games with them. Every minute and every second is a fierce confrontation .

Finding Shan Nonghan and finding his criminal evidence was exhausting, and the interrogation process was a tough battle that had to be fought.Logical reasoning and on-the-spot response are indispensable.Shannon Han was too cunning, at first he was as calm as a machine, if he wanted to tear off his skin, he had to use his logic.But while using his logic, it is very easy to be pulled into his orbit.In a confrontation, it can be said that every step of the way is like walking on thin ice, and there is a trace of luck.

When Hua Chong came out of the interrogation room, Hua Chong seemed to be calm, but in fact, his mind had fallen into a brief blank.

Dealing with the case for several days, physical and mental exhaustion is second, and the psychological impact is even more terrifying.

——This is an unclean world.

——This is a world where everyone commits crimes.

But when he walked out of the city bureau, he met the optimistic and cheerful owner of the cake bakery.

Just because he was self-reliant and supported his family with his hard-earned money, the boss smiled so happily, and even made up a doggerel with egg baked cakes.

In the late autumn night, the boss's smile is like a cluster of burning fire.

Hua Chong shook his head lightly, and his hearing suddenly became very clear.The surroundings are full of lively city life, some people are chasing and running, some are whispering sweet words with a low laugh, some are sitting on the side of the road drinking beer and bragging...

Most people in this world have never committed any crimes or harmed anyone. They are just like the cake baker who lives in an ordinary way and enjoys ordinary happiness.

These people deserve to be protected.

Feeling the touch from his fingertips, Hua Chong looked back and saw Liu Zhiqin looking at him.

"In fact, my family has four kinds of signatures." The boss continued, "In addition to creamy pork floss and beef cowpea, there are mustard kelp shreds and brown sugar pork floss. But if you only need two flavors, I will make the best-selling two for you. Planted!"

"Wait!" Hua Chong said, "Then let's make one."

The boss raised his eyes, "But there are two of you, and the cakes are too small to share."

"Yeah." Hua Chong nodded, "You can do it, four signature flavors, one of the same."

Liu Zhiqin stood aside and smiled silently.

After a few minutes, the egg cake is ready.

The freshly baked egg cake is the most delicious, steaming hot, the outer skin is soft and waxy, and the aroma of the inside penetrates into the egg skin, and it is full of fragrance when you bite into it.

Hua Chong was not in a hurry to eat, he walked into the mutton soup pot restaurant with a paper bag, ordered the pot, and divided the four egg cakes into two halves one by one.

"Here, try it." After dividing, he first handed the brown sugar meat floss to Liu Zhiqin, and put the remaining half into his mouth.

Liu Zhiqin took it, but didn't eat it right away, and said with a smile, "Just now when you said you wanted all four signature flavors, I thought you would bite off half and give me the other half."

Hua Chong was almost choked, raised his eyebrows and said, "I have such..."

"Huh? What?"

"So..." Hua Chong got stuck for a moment, not knowing what to say after "so".

I'm so sick?

I am so perverted?

How can sharing food with Liu Zhiqin be described as "disgusting" or "perverted"?

Hua Chong frowned slightly, and didn't think of what to say until he put half of the beef and cowpea cake into his mouth.

Liu Zhiqin had consciously taken the remaining half, and said, "You pushed Shan Nonghan to the point of no return, but you lost to a cake."

"I'm using my brain too much." Hua Chong argued.

"You want to say 'disgusting' and 'perverted', right?" Liu Zhiqin read his thoughts almost effortlessly, "But you think, eating egg cakes together is not disgusting at all, nor is it perverted." .So you don’t know what to pick up later.”

Hua Chong handed the Butter Meat Floss Egg Cake to Liu Zhiqin's mouth, "Eat."

I still can't keep your mouth shut?

Liu Zhiqin was as good as he was good, took the egg cake from his mouth, and smiled with wide eyes.

Hua Chong got some cream on his fingers, didn't think too much, and licked it reflexively after taking it back.

After licking, he realized that his fingertips just touched Liu Zhiqin's lips.

Liu Zhiqin's eyes were gentle, with a smile on his face, without revealing, he just said, "Thank you, Flower Team."

At this time, the mutton soup pot was served, and the white mist briefly blocked each other's sight.

When the fog cleared, Liu Zhiqin suddenly said, "Flower team."

Hua Chong just picked up the chopsticks, and raised his head when he heard the words, "Huh?"

Liu Zhiqin's eyes were so deep that he wanted to suck the person in front of him into his pupils, "Did I ask you last time—after all these things are over, would you consider staying with me?"

Hua Chong's heart skipped a beat, and the tails of his eyes lifted upwards.

He didn't avoid Liu Zhiqin's gaze, but instead looked more intently at this man with whom he had a deep connection.

"Now I have some regrets." Liu Zhiqin said seriously, "I don't want to wait until everything is over. I can't wait."

Hua Chong's fingers trembled, and the chopsticks were quietly placed on the bowl.

Liu Zhiqin said: "I want to be with you right now."

"Flower team, are you willing?"
