heart poison

"Grandpa lived in my house and was taken care of by my mother when his illness just developed to the severe stage of dementia. At that time, his condition was a little better than now, unlike now where he is not awake all day long." Ji Can's voice was very sharp. Low, very stuffy, with a crying voice, like mosquitoes in the late summer, "Wang Xiaoning is actually right. Grandpa doesn't like her very much. He loves Wang Nuoqiang and my mother the most. Maybe it's because she didn't have children after marriage. "

Ji Can paused, wiping away tears, "My mother is very dedicated to taking care of my grandfather, at least better than Wang Nuoqiang's wife. During that time, my grandfather's condition did not deteriorate significantly. However, the situation of our family does not allow me to take care of my grandfather." Mom has been watching over him. My mom has to go out to work. I was living at school, but because I had to help take care of my grandfather, I moved back home. I fed him, wiped his face and hands, but..."

Hua Chong looked at Ji Can's red eyes, saw her pursing her lips with difficulty, thought for a while, and understood what she was hard to say.

"But he won't let me, won't let me..." Ji Can frowned fiercely, "He said I'm a girl, I can't do that kind of thing."

Hua Chong raised his hand to signal that he understood.

What is an old man who can't take care of himself and is incontinent, and insists on not letting his granddaughter do?

Serve the toilet and clean the diapers.

Hua Chong didn't point it out, and asked: "Did he stop you when he was awake?"

Ji Can nodded, "He always said that living like this is meaningless, he suffers, has no dignity, and drags down his family. He feels sorry for my mother, saying that my mother has done a lot to take care of him, and also feels sorry for me, saying that it caused me to delay When my mother was away, I would enlighten him, but he said, we don’t understand his pain.”

"When did he explicitly mention that he didn't want to live anymore?" Hua Chong asked again.

Ji Can lowered his head and clenched his hands tightly into fists, "After being picked up by Wang Nuoqiang."

Hua Chong reminded at the right time: "Relax."

"The economic conditions of our three families simply cannot afford to hire a nurse. Wang Nuoqiang left grandpa to Zhu Zhao to take care of him. Zhu Zhao knew that he was already in the severe stage of dementia, so he was very rude to him." Ji Can sniffed, "Grandpa's It was at that time that the condition deteriorated significantly, and we were less and less awake. My mother and I would go to Wang Nuoqiang's house whenever we had time. Grandpa couldn't speak, so he just looked at us. I knew he must I wanted to say something to me. Finally, one time, I pushed my grandfather for a walk in the park, and my grandfather was more awake than before, and pulled my sleeve to let me listen to him.”

Ji Can raised his head, looked at the ceiling with eyes full of tears, and said after a long time: "He said he couldn't live anymore and wanted to die. I was very scared and kept comforting him. But he didn't listen at all, and kept pulling my sleeves. Fang, it’s difficult to say, it’s too miserable for me to live like this, like an old vampire.”

"Immortal vampire?" Hua Chong was a little surprised, even if the average old man knew that his life was a burden to his family, he would not say it so bluntly.

"Zhu Zhao said that!" Ji Can said excitedly, "She thought grandpa was completely stupid. Although he never hit him, he often insulted him. Grandpa is listening! Grandpa knows it!"

Hua Chong couldn't help but sigh.For an old man who doesn't have much desire to live, and faces the curses of his relatives every day, life is really worse than death.

"Besides, it is Wang Nuoqiang who my grandfather wants to change his diapers. He really has no face to let his daughter-in-law do this for him." Ji Can trembled, "But Wang Nuoqiang is not willing, let Zhu Zhao do everything Grandpa said that day that he really couldn't take it anymore and wanted to be relieved, and he didn't want to live to be humiliated and drag his family down."

The interrogation room fell silent, except for Ji Can's intermittent sobs.

Hua Chong left for a few minutes, giving her time to calm down.When she returned to the interrogation room, her face and hands were wet.

"Who killed Wang Zhangbing?" Hua Chong put a pack of paper on the table.

Ji Can covered the upper half of his face with a tissue, "I don't know him."

Hua Chong's eyes became colder, "You don't know him, so you cooperate with him to kill your grandfather?"

"It's not like this!" Ji Can said, "He can help grandpa get rid of it!"

"Relief?" Hua Chongxi said: "Don't make such a high-sounding excuse for crime. What you do is to kill people. You keep saying that you feel sorry for your grandfather, but have you ever understood that death by strangulation is a kind of An extremely painful way to die?"

Ji Can panicked: "He said it, he said strangulation is the least easy to expose, I, I..."

"You said your mother, uncle, and aunt were hypocritical, what about you?" Hua Chong said, "Your hypocrisy is far better than them. You 'kindly' freed your grandfather, but because you didn't want to face the punishment of murder, you wanted to To escape, choose to put your grandfather under strangulation. What right do you have to mock them?"

Ji Can's face turned green and white, and he lowered his head and said softly: "You, don't say that about me. I am also thinking about grandpa, it is him..."

"Who is he?" Hua Chong repeated the previous question, "When and why did you hook up?"

Ji Can is young after all. Although he is an adult, he has always been protected by his mother. He has not yet understood the complexity of society. Until I push grandpa for a walk."

"Where did he find you?"

"School."

"He sees you often?" Hua Chong squinted his eyes, "Is it near your house? When did he first look for you?"

"At the beginning of September, Grandpa's situation was already very bad." Ji Can said: "Grandpa said 'I don't want to live anymore' It was July, and I have been thinking about how to help Grandpa. Can anyone tell, I really don't know what to do..."

Hua Chong propped his forehead in thought.

According to Ji Can's description, the murderer must have been haunting Wang Chuning's house from time to time, knowing Wang Zhangbing's situation, and even the entire Wang family's situation.Also, his knowledge of Alzheimer's disease is very deep.

"What did he say to you that made you believe he could 'help' Wang Zhangbing?" Hua Chong asked.

Ji Can has already piled up a lot of tissue balls, "He said..."

??

The tightly wrapped man took off his mask and said in a low voice, "You love your grandpa very much, otherwise you wouldn't take care of him with your mother. But do you know that your care and concern just made him more pain?"

Ji Can was nervous and shocked, his eyes flickered, and he remembered how his grandfather begged him two months ago, "What do you mean? Who are you?"

"Me? Like your grandfather, the elders in my family also suffered from Alzheimer's disease many years ago." The man said calmly, "But he is luckier than your grandfather and didn't suffer too much pain."

Ji Can asked anxiously, "Why?"

The man smiled, "Because I helped him escape.

"You..." Ji Can retreated involuntarily, "The 'liberation' you mentioned means..."

"Of course, let him escape from the sea of ​​suffering."

"That is to say, you, you killed him?"

The man shook his head, "How can you say that? He begged me to let him no longer suffer from the disease. Xiaocan, you and your grandfather have such a good relationship. Hasn't he made a similar request to you?"

Ji Can trembled all over, with fear and strange excitement rushing through his blood, "I..."

"It seems that he begged you." The man said softly, "But you failed. Are you... afraid?"

The scene of his grandfather grabbing his sleeve appeared in Ji Can's mind, and he shook his head vigorously, with cold sweat pouring out of his forehead.

"I guess so." The man sighed, "You know, a person who can't stand the pain will ask the closest person for help. Because apart from this person, he can't ask others to help him. Xiaocan, Alzheimer's disease is An irreversible disease, you have also seen how painful your grandfather is living. Has he begged you or anyone else? Besides you, can he still beg your aunt and aunt? You are his most trusted The person in question is his precious granddaughter."

Ji Can bit her lip, her mind gradually becoming confused.

"He won't ask them." The man said again: "He only believes in you. He hopes that his beloved granddaughter can help him escape."

Ji Can breathed heavily and broke out in a cold sweat.

"But you don't seem to be able to help him." The man pressed on step by step, "Are you afraid? Are you afraid that helping grandpa will take responsibility?"

Ji Can subconsciously denied, "No, no, I'm not afraid!"

"Then why don't you help him? When you were young, he must have loved you very much, right? Now that you have grown up, he is old, too old to move, and he doesn't even have the right to choose 'death'." The man smiled wryly, " He was in such pain, wanted to end this pain, and asked you for help with a glimmer of hope, but you cruelly rejected him."

"I didn't!" Ji Can's voice trembled, "I just..."

"Huh? Are you just what?"

Ji Can stroked his hair randomly, "I just don't know what to do!"

"You know, but you don't have the courage." The man said bluntly, "There are many ways to help the elderly get out of the sea of ​​suffering, and you have thought about it. But no matter which one, you dare not. In the end, you still don't love you enough Grandpa, you are unwilling to take responsibility for him, you are afraid of facing the police."

Ji Can's face became paler and he was speechless.

"I understand you." The man said again: "Before I started, I also experienced a few months of struggle. Ordinary people, who is not afraid of taking responsibility, who is willing to deal with the police? But then..."

Ji Can asked nervously, "What happened next?"

The man sighed long, his eyes were melancholy, "Afterwards, filial piety probably defeated fear. I really don't want to see the person who loved me so much in the past suffer in his old age."

Ji Can's pupils constricted, he stared at the man, his heart was overwhelmed, "Then you, you haven't been caught by the police..."

"I ran away." The man spread his hands, "I lived incognito for half my life."

Ji Can looked at him, he looked so ordinary, wearing a hat, and initially covered his face with a mask.

"You don't have to be afraid, I just want to help you and your grandpa." The man said kindly, "Do you think I committed a crime?"

Ji Can nodded, then shook his head again.

"I didn't commit a crime, I just did my family a favor," the man said. "But I had to pay the price, leave my hometown, and no longer have my own business and family."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Ji Can saw a trace of resentment and unwillingness in the man's eyes.

She swallowed, and wiped the sweat from her palms vigilantly.

"But it's all worth it." The man smiled again, and said relaxedly: "They raised me, and I have an obligation to help them fulfill their wishes. I deserve this life of hiding now."

The two looked at each other for a while, and Ji Can asked, "Then what do you want to do when you come to see me today?"

"Your grandfather is already very pitiful, aren't you sad?" The man said, "I saw him near Wang Nuoqiang's house a few days ago, and he looked at me too. His eyes, how to say, I am too familiar with." In the last days of my parents, they always looked at me with that kind of eyes. He was saying——please, help me out."

"Stop it!" Ji Can shouted.

The man looked pitifully, "I understand you. I struggled for a long time before I made up my mind. You are a little girl, and it is normal for you to be weaker than me."

Ji Can is so strong, "I'm not weak."

The man shook his head, "But it is indeed too cruel to ask you to kill your relatives."

After another silence, the man said, "I can help you."

Ji Can's scalp was numb, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, "What did you say?"

"I can help you." The man said calmly, "If you trust me and give me your love for your grandfather, I can guarantee that you will let your grandfather end this difficult life as soon as possible, and you don't have to bear any responsibility. .”

"Why?" Ji Can said in shock: "I don't know you at all, and neither does my grandfather!"

"But we are the same people. Your grandfather suffered from the same disease as my elders. You, like me, wanted to help them, but were terribly afraid. We are all poor people." Man Said: "I have experienced the pain of you and your grandfather, and I can empathize with you!"

Ji Can was dumbfounded, and a rush of blood rushed straight into his brain.

"Families who have lost their only child and whose child suffers from autism can still hold together for warmth. Why can't we?" The man continued: "I can help you do what you dare not do—anyway, I have done it more than once. Once."

"Besides your elders, you... have you killed... helped other people?" Ji Can asked tremblingly.

"Yeah." The man sighed again and smiled, "If you can help others, why don't you help. Life is in the world, and it's better to do something meaningful."

"you……"

"It was their family who found me and asked me for help, so I helped." The man explained: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not a murderer. Do you think I look like a murderer?"

Ji Can frowned, knowing that the man in front of him had killed someone, and more than one, but the fear in his heart faded strangely.

Maybe it's what this person said - we should hug each other for warmth.

"Go and see your grandfather again. I won't urge you to make a decision." The man said, "I will come to your school occasionally. If you decide, just wait for me here."

??

After listening to Ji Can's narration, Hua Chong only had one word in his heart.

absurd!

"I've been struggling. I can't bear my grandfather, but I also don't want to see him suffer again." Ji Can continued, "After a month, that man came again. I told him, I've made up my mind."

"You asked him to help you kill Wang Zhangbing?"

"Ah."

Hua Chong wished he could wake up the foolish girl in front of him who had been bewitched by others.

"He asked me to wait for the opportunity, and asked me... whether my family treated my grandfather badly." Ji Can tore a tissue blankly, wondering if he understood that he had made a big mistake. "He told me that people who are not filial Everyone should pay the price. When we help grandpa, we should also let those people taste the bitter fruit."

"No filial piety?" Hua Chong shook his head, "So you told him that your whole family, except you and Wang Songsong, has no filial piety?"

Ji Can opened his mouth, "Isn't it? Wang Nuoqiang threw his grandfather to Zhu Zhao, and Wang Xiaoning didn't want to take him to live with him at all. My mother couldn't afford the money. Do you think they are filial piety?"

Hua Chong didn't want to argue with her anymore, and asked, "Did he ask you to steal Wang Xiaoning's belt?"

Ji Can hesitated for a while, then looked away, "He didn't specifically say whose things to take. Just, just let me pay attention to my grandfather's situation, tell him when I have the opportunity, and get a piece of paper that can 'set the blame' on unfilial family members." With this thing, people who have no filial piety can be punished. He and I can also avoid the police's interrogation. I asked him if he could use other methods to let grandpa 'go', he shook his head and said The neck is the easiest way to deceive the police."

Hua Chong felt a chill.

A girl like Ji Can may not be an exception. There are many young people like her who are not young, but have extremely poor judgment ability, hate family members, obey strangers, and do things clearly Vicious and naive, and a self-proclaimed hero.

The family members have no conscience, but she alone has a conscience.

Her conscience is to kill her grandfather, blame her relatives, and disrupt the whole family.

"I originally wanted to take Zhu Zhao's things, but I didn't have a chance. Zhu Zhao is very suspicious and sensitive. If he loses something, he may be aware of it right away. No, it's not like Wang Xiaoning." Ji Can said: "That day in the shopping mall, I saw Wang Xiaoning by chance. She, she was also bad for Grandpa! She deserved what she deserved!"

"The murderer taught you what you said last time?" Hua Chong asked.

Ji Can seemed to want to deny it, but finally nodded, "Yes."

"You don't know who he is, and I guess you don't know where he's hiding." Hua Chong said, "But you always know what he looks like, tall and thin, right?"

"I……"

"Why, until now, you still want to protect him?"

"No!" Ji Can blinked in panic, "If you catch him, what will you do to him?"

"I have no obligation to tell you." Hua Chong said coldly: "But I can tell you another thing - if you don't help us catch him, you will bear the corresponding legal responsibility."

After a moment of silence, Ji Can suddenly screamed loudly.

Hua Chong's eardrums trembled, feeling a little disgusted.

She called out "Mom".

He humiliated his mother with a cold face before, and now he is crying and calling for his mother. He is about to be 20 years old, but he is still childish and cowardly, wearing a kind skin and doing vicious things.

Hua Chong stood up, pushed the door and went out.When I returned to the serious crime team, I suddenly remembered the case in Hefu Town, a flash of light flashed in my mind, and I immediately returned to the same way.

In front of Ji Can was a photo of Lu Zhouan.

Hua Chong asked, "Have you seen this man?"

??

Men have been very idle recently, which can be called doing nothing.

The sky in winter is always gloomy. He wore a gray-black dress and walked among the crowd with an umbrella. He couldn't see anything unusual.

He stopped at the entrance of the Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital, looked inside, and pulled up his scarf to cover the lower half of his face.

A mother with a child in her arms hurried past him and bumped into his shoulder.His eyes darkened, and he looked at the other party.

The young mother hurriedly said, "Sorry, sorry."

He smiled coldly, his voice was as young as his appearance, "It's okay."

There were people coming and going around, lively and busy, he squinted, stood for a moment, turned and left, the prey in his eyes was hidden in the shadow of the hood.

There are always so many patients in this hospital, newborns and dying.Doctors and nurses are busy for these patients, some are admired, some are not given a good death.

Gee.
