Bailian's stand-in has collapsed [Transmigration Book]

Lin Jianqiu and Da Huzi passed by the gate of the community.

It was getting late, Zhong Xinyue and Nan Nan, two girls, one big and one small, were not safe to walk outside, and the two men next to them naturally wanted to send them home.

Nan Nan hugged Lin Jianqiu's thigh and refused to let go, so the bearded man could only take a step forward, walking side by side with Zhong Xinyue, so that they would have someone to talk to, so that it wouldn't be so embarrassing.

After walking a short distance, the nervousness of being run over by them disappeared without a trace.

Nan Nan took Lin Jianqiu's hand, and looked at the two people in front of him and secretly smiled, as if he was happy to see the result.

There was no more clapping or joking.

Lin Jianqiu looked funny,? Nan Nan is only so young, but she seems to already know the tricks between the two adults.

"See Brother Qiu,? Let me tell you a secret."

"What secret?"

Nan Nan waved to Lin Jianqiu.

Lin Jianqiu picked her up, and the child lay on his shoulder, whispering into his ear.

"Actually, it's not impossible to let Uncle Beard be my father."

Nan Nan struggled with her fingers for a while, stretched out her hand for a short distance, and then said: "If he really likes his mother,? I am willing to give him some of my mother - but there can only be so much." ,? You can’t take them all away.”

She emphasized "so much" with her childish fingers.

Tong Yan Wuji, his serious appearance also revealed a bit of innocence and cuteness.

Lin Jianqiu suppressed a smile, glanced at the ignorant bearded man in front of him, then lowered his voice and asked Nan Nan: "Do you like Uncle Beard very much?"

"Well, Uncle Beard is very nice." Nan Nan nodded, then shortened the distance between her fingers a bit, and added, "But I still like to see Brother Qiu the most, it's so much worse .”

The child raised his head, with a little pride on his face, eagerly begging for praise.

Lin Jianqiu couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth, and praised her earnestly.

Satisfied, Nan Nan struggled to get down. She was not used to being hugged, so she walked beside Lin Jianqiu, holding his hand to prevent getting lost.

Lin Jianqiu could somewhat understand her mental journey.

Compared with children of the same age, Nan Nan is much more sensible.

Perhaps because of the lack of the role of a father, she has seen her mother's hard work since she was a child.

Familiar people can't help but feel distressed when they see it.

Lin Jianqiu had also heard about Zhong Xinyue.

It was during the previous film and television city case.

Zhong Xinyue would not usually mention her past to outsiders, and it was only by chance in that case that part of her past was discovered.

It's not because it's a secret that can't be known, she just feels that there is nothing to say, and she doesn't want others to talk about her past behind her back.

She conceived before she was 20 years old.

At that time, I was young, lacking awareness and experience, and it was too late when I found out.

Due to physical reasons, she could only give birth to that child.

As for the child's father, she didn't know where he was.

When they broke up, they didn't know that they had children, and they completely cut off contact after they broke up.

It was many years later that she vaguely heard that the other party seemed to have died in a car accident.

She didn't go to verify the truth, anyway, she just regarded the man as dead since then, and has been raising her daughter alone.

Although she didn't voluntarily keep this child at the beginning, after giving birth to Nan Nan, she became a real mother, and the relationship between mother and daughter was very deep because they depended on each other for many years.

In order to bring Nan Nan by her side, and worried that outsiders would treat Nan Nan badly, Zhong Xinyue had long since given up the idea of ​​falling in love and getting married.

In return, Nan Nan has always been sensible.

But not having a father is still an irreparable regret and injury for young children.

In addition, Zhong Xinyue often works overtime for work, so she can't stay by Nan Nan's side all the time. In fact, Nan Nan is often very lonely.

Because of the repressed desire in his bones, facing the beard with gentleness and kindness, the child fell easily.

It would be nice to have such a father.

She imagined it so straightforwardly and innocently.

Fortunately, Big Beard really has intentions and is full of kindness towards Nan Nan. Even without Zhong Xinyue, he would still be kind to children.

Lin Jianqiu didn't try to puncture Nan Nan's fantasy.

Big Beard and Lin Jianqiu kept sending Zhong Xinyue and Nan Nan to the door.

Nan Nan finally stood at the door and waved goodbye to them.

"See Brother Qiu, goodbye, and Uncle Beard—"

She looked at the bearded man expectantly.

The bearded man nodded towards her: "I'll take you to catch dolls this weekend."

This is something he promised Nan Nan before, of course he didn't forget it.

Nan Nan cheered and happily said "see you tomorrow".

If I don't see you tomorrow, I will see you the day after tomorrow.

Lin Jianqiu followed behind and waved to Nan Nan. The smile on his face faded a little until the mother and daughter closed the door.

The bearded man noticed his abnormality and couldn't help asking: "Is work not going well?"

Lin Jianqiu shook his head, he had just sent Nan Nan away, and he didn't want to talk about the case of Dai's father and daughter to confuse the bearded man.

"Are you with Sister Zhong and Nan Nan all this time?" Lin Jianqiu changed the subject.

"It's just a coincidence, a coincidence!" The bearded man blushed and argued, "I didn't deliberately block their door."

Lin Jianqiu glanced at him: "Brother Lu, have you heard of an allusion?"

Bearded man: "What?"

Lin Jianqiu: "There is no 300 taels of silver here."

Bearded man: "..."

He looked away in embarrassment: "I just think that what happened just now, I don't want them to have any more mental or psychological problems."

As he spoke, he sighed, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Nan Nan is actually very poor. She has been with her mother all the time, and she doesn't have many friends of the same age. Last time I went to see her, I saw other children laughing at her for not having a father, and saying that her mother is... Anyway, it's all bad. nice words."

The bearded man just saw it by chance, and felt panicked.

But for Nan Nan, it was just a part of daily life, and she was used to it.

It's just that deep down in my heart, I probably can't help but have some desires.

"In the past two days, I just gave her a box of candy and made her a paper pinwheel. She was so happy that she said that she would treasure it for the rest of her life and take her out to play. I only picked free ones from nearby parks. place."

"At this age, one should be pampered, not considerate of adults."

Lin Jianqiu couldn't help thinking of Dai Li'an.

Dai Li'an's parents are both alive. Although they are divorced, both parents still love her very much and have been paying attention to her silently.

It's just that for a little girl, the divorce of her parents is a huge harm in itself.

Even if she remarries in the future, or finds a stepparent who loves her more, it will be difficult to make up for it.

Even if they are stepfathers and stepmothers, even if they are more powerful than their own parents, they are still separated by a layer after all.

Dai Li'an naturally prefers that his parents can reconcile as before.

It's a pity that she didn't wait for that opportunity...

Lin Jianqiu was stunned for a moment.

The piecemeal puzzle in his mind was fleeting, so fast that he couldn't grasp it.

Why did you kill Dai Li'an?

Why hide Dai Lian?

Why treat the little girl's body so cruelly?

The scene of Mr. Dai's murder can be said to have been arranged by the murderer for the purpose of imitation, but Dai Li'an was definitely not part of the imitation.

But more personal emotions like disgust, anger, hatred...

Lin Jianqiu couldn't think more clearly.

They had already walked back to the gate of the community, and the bearded man was telling him what happened before.

"I used to have a neighbor who was a bit like Nan Nan. She was also a single mother who raised her daughter alone."

"However, she is not as lucky as Nan Nan. Her mother has a very bad temper. She beat and scolded her when things went wrong. She often suppressed her with words, saying that she was useless and trash. I'm sorry for myself."

"Later our family moved out, and then I heard that she stabbed her mother to death with a knife, and then hanged herself in the old warehouse outside."

"Does she hate her mother?"

"It should be. I heard that after stabbing more than a dozen times in a row, I couldn't see the human form in the end."

"What about herself?"

"I don't know. But I heard from a former neighbor that she had become abnormal a year before the accident. She was originally a very quiet girl, but then she gradually became irritable and often quarreled with others for no reason. And burst into tears again."

"Why did you suddenly kill her mother?"

"The neighbor said that she heard her mother beating and scolding her again that night. It seemed that she was a classmate in the same community because she failed the exam. When she came home from get off work in the middle of the night, she dragged her out of bed and beat her, and then..."

The bearded man didn't go on talking, and what happened after that can be imagined.

"I originally thought that the tragedy of their family was due to an incomplete family, but I realized it wasn't when I grew up."

There are those who are so grumpy and like to use their children to vent the pressure of life, and there are also those like Zhong Xinyue who always try their best to show the good side in front of their children.

In a sense, Zhong Xinyue is really remarkable.

The story told by the bearded man happened many years ago. The police have already closed the case, so there is no doubt. At that time, the Internet was not as developed as it is now. Except for the neighbors who are close to each other occasionally remembering it and sighing twice, no one remembers it anymore. up.

He also felt it after seeing the way Zhong Xinyue's mother and daughter get along.

Lin Jianqiu looked thoughtful.

There is always an opportunity in everything.

Even a mentally ill person is unlikely to start going crazy directly in the air.

"Are you going to walk the dog tomorrow?" The bearded man asked again from the side.

"There are other things..." Lin Jianqiu paused, he was busy with the case today, but he almost forgot about Li Chengxin's affairs.

He looked the beard up and down.

He looks stronger than him, and he has been running around all over the world for the past two years, so his physical strength should not be bad.

The bearded man looked hairy, and subconsciously touched his arm.

"What are you looking at?" He desperately resisted the urge to back away.

"I have something to ask for your help." Lin Jianqiu showed him a gentle smile.

The bearded man trembled, always feeling that there was a pit in front of him waiting for him to jump down.

The bearded man went back to boil water to prepare dinner, while Lin Jianqiu turned to the newsstand outside.

He was going to call Officer Gao.

But he didn't want the bearded man to know about Dai Li'an, and his phone was out of battery, so he went outside to find a public phone.

The old man in the newsstand had gray hair and deafness, and he had to raise his voice and raise his voice when talking to him.

Lin Jianqiu pointed to the landline outside, and it took him a while to realize that he was calling.

The old man nodded and muttered that the donkey's head was wrong, but he still agreed.

Lin Jianqiu broadcast Officer Gao's call directly.

Officer Gao was not surprised at all: "I was just about to call you."

Lin Jianqiu asked, "Have you found any new clues?"

Officer Gao said "hmm": "On the opposite side of the building where the incident occurred, someone installed a camera on the balcony. It was originally to monitor the cats at home, but the angle just happened to be able to capture the downstairs opposite. Although it was not perfectly aimed, but It can be roughly judged whether there are strangers entering or leaving the building that day."

Lin Jianqiu: "The result?"

Officer Gao: "Still watching."

"Mr. Dai left the house in the afternoon. He took his daughter home in the evening, carrying the things he bought at the West City Mall, and did not follow anyone else."

"From the morning of that day to the time when it was dark at seven or eight o'clock after he returned home in the evening, there was no sign of outsiders entering or leaving."

"Afterwards, because the sky was too dark, and the family who installed the surveillance system used to draw the curtains at night, they couldn't see clearly."

It happened to be stuck some time before the incident.

But this can be regarded as an important new clue, which further helped them narrow down the scope of the investigation.

"According to the testimony of the community security, for the sake of safety, the other doors of the community will be closed after seven o'clock, leaving only the door with monitoring."

"People have also checked the other doors, and there are no traces of being climbed, and the possibility of purposely entering is also very low."

The monitoring at the entrance of the community did not capture any outsiders related to Mr. Dai entering or leaving.

It is more and more likely that the murderer is a resident of the same community or even the same building.

Officer Gao: "The rest is still under investigation, and there is nothing new for the time being—have you found anything?"

Lin Jianqiu: "Are there any other divorced families or single women in that building?"

Officer Gao asked the colleague next to him.

The latter is the key investigation target of the police, so it is easy to find the results of the investigation.

"Including Mr. Dai, there are a total of [-] households. There are three single women, two of whom have been married but have no children, and one household is shared by three young girls who work nearby and are not present for overtime work that day. Proof, and they just moved here not long ago, and they are not familiar with Mr. Dai."

As for divorced families...

Officer Gao paused.

"I remember that the two families on the second and fifth floors are divorced families. The second floor is a single father with a son. The son is only three years old. His ex-wife passed away due to illness. The fifth floor is a single mother with a daughter. The daughter is about eight years old. It is said that she is divorced. .”

"There is also the fourth floor. Although I heard that there is no divorce, it seems that the hostess has been away for a long time, and the hostess lives with her parents and son."

"I have contacted these few before, and I don't know if there are others."

Except for a few people who were not married or divorced shortly after marriage, almost all of them had children in this whole building, so they were so panicked that they moved out immediately after the incident.

They are all more afraid that their children will also suffer accidents.

Generally speaking, parents who have children and care about their children are concerned, and the possibility of committing a crime is relatively low, so the police are currently focusing on investigating those single women.

And a certain single man.

"I will find a way to look at the investigation records over there." Officer Gao said, "However, what is the reason?"

Lin Jianqiu unconsciously tapped the edge of the table with his fingertips, slowly sorting out his words.

"Although 'a single woman's courtship can't be revenge by killing her father and daughter because of love and hatred' sounds logical, but it is so 'normal' that it seems even more abnormal."

"It's not necessary to kill two people at the same time because of the hatred of emotional entanglement, but also to imitate the method of serial murder."

"The most abnormal thing is the malice towards the little girl. If it is just a simple imitation of the crime, you can put the corpse upstairs together, and you can avoid leaving more evidence."

"Doing so can only show that the murderer really hates the little girl."

"But it's abnormal, you can't use ordinary people's psychology to speculate, there may not be any clear grievances, maybe it's simply dislike, or boredom, jealousy..."

"The premise is that there is something on Dai Li'an that stimulates the murderer."

Appearance, money, status, these are things that children will not have, so they are naturally excluded.

Apart from this, perhaps because the noise and noise are annoying, the rest can only be family factors, such as emotional needs.

"It's not just based on those children who are still in school, including their parents, whether they were born in a divorced single-parent family, or have encountered any major changes. It is best to pay a little attention."

Lin Jianqiu paused, and added: "Of course, including those children themselves."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jianqiu walked back, a little absent-minded.

Now that the clues are limited, he can't do much.

Everything I saw and heard was replayed repeatedly in my mind, and every bit of ink on the wall was constantly enlarged and flipped.

He knew it wasn't going to help, but it had become his instinct.

While thinking about it, he wanted to reach out for the notebook that he carried with him, but he didn't remember that the notebook was not with him until he stretched halfway.

He reached out and patted his forehead to wake himself up.

When he walked back to the gate of the community, he saw a car parked on the side of the road.

Originally, he just glanced over it unintentionally, but when he saw the license plate number, he couldn't help but pause, and his gaze stayed for a moment longer.

It seemed to be Ye Huaishuang's car.

The author has something to say: This chapter should actually be regarded as an update from last night

As I was writing, I found it seemed a bit long, and then I decided to squint for a while before getting up and posting it.

And when I woke up again, it was already dawn

silence

(I'm writing today)
