love story

Cheng Yan looked into the distance, recalling the past many years ago, with a look of regret in his eyes.

He opened his mouth and said slowly: "When I first met Tang Jianhui, he was a taciturn boy who had no friends in class. He was very similar to me. I was an orphan, and he grew up in a single-parent family, so he was a taciturn boy in class. None of the classmates would approach us. At that time, he worked very hard and worked very hard. Later, I took the initiative to approach him, and then we became acquainted and became friends like this.”

Lin Xin and Yang Cong sat quietly by the side, listening carefully and attentively to Cheng Yan's slow talk.

"Tang Jianhui is a smart boy. He would help me when I encountered difficulties in schoolwork, but he was too gloomy. However, we were all children at that time, so although he was not as sunny as other children , but I didn’t think too much about it, anyway, we don’t have any friends, so it’s good for the two of us to make do with each other.”

"Only, one thing I found out was that he was always wearing tight long pants, even on a hot day. I asked him: 'Isn't it hot?', and he didn't say anything, he just said to me He is used to it. Moreover, he also said that long clothes and trousers can prevent mosquito bites. We all lived in rural areas at that time, so there must be mosquitoes, and I didn’t pay attention to what he said.”

"It's just that until one day, I accidentally discovered the scars on his arm. Those scars were not ordinary bruises, but bloody scars. I asked him what happened, and he just said that he accidentally injured Yes. Then I think we were all naughty back then, so it was normal to accidentally get hurt."

Lin Xin nodded and asked, "What happened next?"

"I didn't pay much attention to these little things afterwards. It's just that one day, for some reason, there was a sudden craze for jigsaw puzzles in our village, and even many adults liked to use them to gamble. From there, I also knew Tang Jianhui I like puzzles, because sometimes I see him bring puzzles to school secretly, I think he loves puzzles. And because of his love, I joined in, and then we both would do puzzles together after school, and even started Contest."

"But gradually, his love and enthusiasm for puzzles gradually faded away. Many times I asked him to work together, but he was always unmotivated. Until one day, he seemed to start to regain his interest in puzzles , he even brought three thousand pieces or even five thousand pieces of jigsaw puzzles from home. We were very young at the time, so it was very difficult to put together so many pieces at once, but he seemed crazy and insisted on finishing it, even if It’s all about working hard in one day.”

"I was very curious at the time, why he suddenly worked so hard. When I asked him, he just said that he wanted to exercise his speed, but I found out that there were more and more scars on his arms. The old scars were still there If it didn’t heal, he added new scars, even scars on his body, but he didn’t say what was going on.”

Speaking of this, Lin Xin and Yang Cong looked at each other, and they both guessed the source of the scar.Except for Tang Jianhui's father, no one would abuse a child like this.

Sure enough, they heard Cheng Yan say: "One day, I thought we would stay in the classroom after school to do puzzles as usual, but that day Tang Jianhui said that he had to go home and that his father was waiting for him to have lunch together. Because I didn't want to He returned to the orphanage so soon, so I followed him quietly."

Speaking of this, Cheng Yan smiled and said: "I don't know what prompted me to follow him, but I always felt something was wrong. I was thinking at that time, if I could have lunch with my parents, it must be a happy thing , but Tang Jianhui didn't look happy at all, so I just followed him like this."

"If it wasn't for that day, I wouldn't know that Tang Jianhui's family is so complicated. His father looks like a gentle man on the outside, but when I saw him punching and kicking Tang Jianhui, I instantly felt that he was a devil, and Tang Jianhui's body That's where the scars came from. I still remember when he was beaten by his father, the heart-piercing cries made me terrified, but I didn't dare to rush to stop him, I could only watch secretly outside his house."

Lin Xin asked, "Didn't the crying alarm the others?"

Cheng Yan shook his head, and said, "Tang Jianhui was crying, but not long after, his father stuffed a strip of cloth into his mouth, and even tied Tang Jianhui to the table with a rope, then pulled out the belt and slammed him. I remember when he was beating, he kept saying that he lost money on the jigsaw puzzle and blamed Tang Jianhui for bringing him bad luck. From his mouth, I knew that his father was a gambler. He was addicted to gambling. Following the example of the people in the village, they began to gamble with puzzles."

"Then, after he had been beaten for a long time, he gave Tang Jianhui a jigsaw puzzle and asked him to finish it in a short time. If he didn't finish it, he would continue to beat him. Tang Jianhui was covered in scars at that time. The jigsaw puzzle started on the ground, and his father also went out at this time. I rushed into the house immediately when I saw me. When he saw me coming in, he pushed me away and told me to go back. If I don’t go back, he will never be with him in the future. I'm friends now."

"Since I followed him back that day, I took the opportunity to follow him home several times, and I saw him being beaten. His father even wanted Tang Jianhui to drop out of school crazily, and then asked him to learn how to gamble and do puzzles by himself. That's why Tang Jianhui was asked to work on the puzzle day and night, and even restricted him to finish it in a very short time."

Speaking of this, Lin Xin already understood, she said: "Tang Jianhui's father is addicted to gambling, even children's toys like jigsaw puzzles can be gambled for him, the minds of these gamblers are really unpredictable , No matter what it is, you can gamble. Tang Jianhui’s psychological trauma presumably came from his father, so he hated the jigsaw puzzle, and even because of the shadow of his childhood, he chose children to kill him in the end.”

Cheng Yan said: "Thinking about it, it should be. Moreover, he has never mentioned such things to anyone, even if it is me, he kept silent, and until he was promoted to junior high school, he came to the school in the city with excellent grades. , got rid of his father. Moreover, Tang Jianhui also started to work part-time at that time, so that he didn't need to take money from his father, and he rarely went back to the village. I thought he let it go, but, with this murder case The occurrence of the incident, presumably his psychological shadow has never been eliminated."

Lin Xin asked, "Then what about building blocks? Tang Jianhui loves building blocks?"

Cheng Yan said: "Until he went to college, everyone had a lot of homework at that time, and then his roommate got a bunch of building blocks from nowhere, and Tang Jianhui's interest in building blocks started there. He even worked harder to make money , and then used all the money he got to buy building blocks. His enthusiasm for building blocks is also a fact that everyone in the university knows, and since he has building blocks, he is more cheerful than before, but I feel that his enthusiasm is a bit wrong. He was trying to hide something with the blocks, but I'm not sure what he was trying to hide."

Lin Xin said: "Probably trying to cover up his unhappy childhood, and also the pain that puzzles have brought to him. He tried to use this method to forget those things, or let himself be obsessed with some things to divert his attention. Let yourself stop thinking about it, but it seems that he is a bit obsessed. He is very extreme, and his mental distortion is very serious."

So Lin Xin told Cheng Yan what she saw at Tang Jianhui's house.

After Dr. Cheng heard this, he was immediately petrified.He thought that after leaving his father, Tang Jianhui lived a happier life because he saw the sunshine on his face. Could it be that all this was just pretending?

Sometimes I could faintly see the scar on his arm. Although the wound had already healed, could it be that Tang Jianhui still couldn't forget that painful past?

Cheng Yan murmured: "I didn't expect him to remember it all the time. Originally, with his father's death, he should let it go even more, but he couldn't let it go."

Lin Xin asked, "His father passed away?"

Cheng Yan nodded and said, "Well, it's been many years since I passed away. It's just that I heard that I had a sudden onset of illness and passed away within a short period of time."

Lin Xin asked, "What illness did his father die of?"

Cheng Yan said: "I don't know very well, I only know that Tang Jianhui often went back to take care of his father when he was ill, but he still died."

Lin Xin was a little curious about this point. If Tang Jianhui had been relieved of his father's abuse of him back then, and could even run back and forth to take care of him, why did his psychological shadow still exist?

Why does he still watch these children suffer?

And want to kill them?

After Lin Xin got the news, she bid farewell to Cheng Yan, and walked to the gate of the hospital with Yang Cong.

Yang Cong looked at the street with people coming and going outside the hospital, and said: "I didn't expect Tang Jianhui to have such a story behind him, but his psychology is extremely twisted, and he should be ashamed to tell anyone about this past, so such extremes will gradually change with time. It has become more and more serious day by day, and has evolved to the point where it is now out of control."

Lin Xin gave a "hmm" and said, "You're right, but I never understood why he did his best to his father after his illness, but still couldn't let go of the past. Could it be that when he was taking care of his father, What happened again?"

Just when the two of them talked about it, Lin Xin received a call from the forensic department. The forensic doctor said, "Officer Lin, we found a poison similar to arsenic in Sun Zhijian's body. The arsenic is not much. But it can cause diarrhea in children."

Lin Xin heard this and said, "Arsenic cream?"

The forensic doctor said: "Yes."

She immediately remembered one thing. Sun Zhijian originally had a common fever, but he also developed diarrhea later. Could it be that Tang Jianhui did something when he came to see a doctor?

In order to find out the terrain of Sun's home, he used arsenic to make the child have repeated diarrhea, so that he could carry out his kidnapping operation smoothly?

He could have used arsenic on a child, so did his father. . .

When thinking of this, Lin Xin's heart cleared.

Yes, it must be so!
