cry of a butterfly

Sunlight sprinkled the ground like pennies as a bus snaked its way through a winter-blighted landscape.There were not many people in the car, and the combination of three men with oriental faces and a little girl with blond hair was particularly eye-catching.

The destination of the bus is a nursing home called "Deer Tree", which has become the only nursing home for the elderly in the local area after being remodeled by a mysterious funder.But before the reconstruction, it was the largest mental hospital in the country.At its peak, there were more than [-] patients.

Can you imagine 1 people shouting or crying at the same time?

It was hell on earth.

The young police detective tried to find out more information about the nursing home, but he soon discovered that all relevant information had been artificially erased.It seems that very few people still remember how filthy this place that seemed to be full of warmth and love was once.

And these people believe that "deer tree" and "hell" are really synonymous.

"Look, I didn't lie to you, he's prettier than you, isn't he?" Marilyn sat beside Xiang Di, chatting with him as enthusiastically and directly as a small animal.Even on a sunny day, her pupils are still as bright as stars, and her face is as white and beautiful as moonlight.

Xiang Di cast a glance in the direction of Chu Hua, then nodded with a smile, "Yes, he is very beautiful."

He generously agreed with the little girl's words, and immediately got her cries of joy.

"You are so kind!" She wrapped her arms around his neck very affectionately, pecked and kissed him hard on the cheek, and ran to the front of the carriage in the blink of an eye.

The Yingying fruit has already left the branches, and the vines are nodding and bowing beside the road, accompanied by a babbling song in the wind.If it weren't for winter, this seemingly peaceful place would be even more beautiful. For Xiang Di, who is covered with injuries, it is the best place to relax.But for this very lively little blond girl, it was the first time for her to ride a big steel bird that could fly on this trip, and it was as happy as an outing.

"Hey, here it is."

Tu Yuming took out the bottled drink and handed it to Xiang Di, and the other party said "thank you" to him very politely - before he could reach out to pick it up, Chu Hua raised his hand and intercepted it.

Facing the widened eyes of his partner, Mr. Detective unscrewed the cap of the bottle and took a sip, then squinted his eyes prettily, "I'm thirsty."

The scar-faced detective glared at his clueless partner, then took out a hot dog wrapped in greaseproof paper from a plastic bag, and handed it to Xiang Di.She even avoided the other party's gaze, and said shyly, "I don't know if you like this or not."

As a result, it was intercepted midway again——

Quickly tore off the greaseproof paper and took a bite, Chu Hua blinked, puffed her cheeks and said vaguely, "He doesn't love it, I do!"

"Are you fucking on purpose!" Tu Yuming, who couldn't bear it any longer, immediately raised his fist, and hit Chu Hua face to face, causing the opponent to raise his arms to block while pleading for mercy.

"Damn it, if I can't beat you to death, I'll choke you to death!"

Before the words finished, Chu Hua really choked.He stared at the other party with wide eyes, patted his chest with the palm of his hand a few times, and waved his arms back and forth indiscriminately, as if he was about to be out of breath.

Tu Yuming was so frightened that he immediately slapped him on the back in a hurry. The slap was not tight, but he found blood seeping from his shirt sleeve.

"What's wrong with your hand?!" Grabbing Chu Hua's arm, he rolled up his sleeves and looked - the whole arm was wrapped in white gauze, which was already stained red.Tu Yuming yelled again and again, "Is it Han Xiao?! Is that bastard?!"

The arm still hurts, and the wound that tore a large piece of flesh cannot heal so quickly.Chu Hua didn't say a word, but turned his attention to his little sister.

Marilyn was leaning over beside the bus driver with her little head held high, her little red mouth opening and closing, singing a cheerful song with a clear and melodious childlike voice.The smiling bus driver looked at her sideways from time to time, and the eyes of the passengers were all attracted by this incomparably beautiful Angel.

After a song was sung, all the people in the car applauded enthusiastically, and the cheers continued one after another.The blond-haired little girl turned her face away, lifted the corner of her skirt generously, and bowed to everyone with slightly bent knees.She looked left and right from time to time, and said with a sweet smile, "Thank you, thank you."

"My God! She's so cute!" a passenger yelled, and everyone immediately echoed in unison.

"What the hell are you going to do?! Han Xiao is far more gloomy and terrifying than you imagined. I'm afraid you will have to be careful in everything in the police station in the future."

Chu Hua turned his head and lay down in front of the car window, staring intently at the scenery along the way.After a long silence, he said, "I'm not worried about Han Xiao, I'm more worried about Marilyn now..."

"Get out, or I'll kill you." Looking directly into his lover's eyes, the young police detective was unexpectedly calm, and he said, "We're done. It's completely over."

The two men were panting and confronted each other quietly, one of them suddenly laughed loudly, took a step forward and said, "You bastard is doomed... Without my protection, you will be dismembered by Fan Tangsheng, you will There is no dead body..."

"Get out." Unmoved by the other party's threats, Chu Hua waved the knife in his hand, and said with a corner of his mouth, "If you don't get out, you will be the one who will die without a whole body."

Mr. Chief Superintendent put on his trousers, adjusted his suit, and finally wrapped his tie around his neck again, restoring his incomparable elite appearance.She smiled complicatedly at the man who was no longer her lover, then turned and left.

As soon as Han Xiao left, Chu Hua immediately stepped forward and hugged Marilyn, who was shivering on the ground, into his arms.Pushing the messy blond hair away from the little girl's eyes, he kept kissing her sweaty forehead and teary cheeks, and said to her softly, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you..."

The body that was stiff due to excessive fright gradually recovered in the warm embrace, the little girl let go of the arms that were holding her tightly together, instead she looked at the man in front of her seriously and said, "Chu Hua, don't be afraid, Marilyn will protect you. "

The young police detective laughed so hard that his white teeth and pear dimples were exposed, and he felt the sharp pain in his arm when he let go of the little girl in his arms, and he couldn't help frowning again, moaning and cursing.

"I know you hurt so much... My mother told me before that as long as I kiss the injured place, it won't hurt anymore..." Holding Chu Hua's blood-dripping wrist, Marilyn buried her face in her mouth and kissed again. Looking into his eyes, he asked timidly, "Marilyn will kiss for you, will you?"

With those pitiful eyes, no one could say "no" cruelly, Chu Huazhong smiled again, and then joked to the little girl that as long as she didn't make herself too itchy, she could kiss anywhere.

"Then close your eyes..."

Mr. Detective closed his eyes obediently, and felt the girl lying on his knee with a smile on his face, and the soft little tongue gently licked the back of his hand.

Marilyn's mouth was full of blood, and Marilyn stopped licking and kissing Chu Hua's arm, and suddenly looked at his face in a daze—with her eyes closed, her drunken face seemed lazy, and her eyelashes looked Long and soft, the straight and slender bridge of the nose and the rounded and sharpened chin all look so appropriate.

The little girl quickly thought of the scene she saw just now, so she lowered her face and poked out the tip of her tongue towards his crotch, which was only separated from her by a pair of underwear...

"What the hell are you doing?!" The front of the genitals suddenly became hot, and a tingling sensation like an electric current passing through immediately rushed to the lower abdomen.Chu Hua opened his eyes in shock, swears instinctively, and instinctively pushes away Marilyn who is lying between her legs.

"That's what I saw Han Xiao do...but now that he's gone, someone has to do it for you in the future..." The little girl who fell to the ground burst into tears full of grievances, her big blue eyes filled with crystal clear tears , sobbing, "Chu Hua, did Marilyn do something wrong? Huh... Chu Hua, don't be angry with Marilyn..."

"No, I'm not angry..." Filled with anger to dispel the heartbreaking eyes of the little girl, Chu Hua wanted to reach out to hug her but stopped suddenly, only shook his head and said, "But you have to promise me, you Never, never do it again!"

The young police detective waited patiently in the waiting room for a long time, and glanced out of the window from time to time: his little sister and two big men were playing in the garden, and the old people in the garden were all taken away by this young and fresh life. He looked away, as if laughing and laughing with her would make him look younger.This place is so big that it really makes people sigh, it is very neat and beautiful, even the wind of the post is filled with a sweet fragrance of grass and trees, and even the details of the corners and corners are extremely elegant.

Dormant flowers in winter can be seen everywhere, and this is a paradise for lilies of the valley.

"Forgive me for keeping you waiting." Chu Hua, who was standing in front of the window, turned his head when he heard the sound of someone pushing the door open.The one who came in was an elderly woman with some light makeup on, her silver hair neatly coiled behind her head, and the wrinkles on her face were neatly arranged like the teeth of a comb.The body is not too loose and plump, but not too skinny, and the exquisite and graceful waist and slender neck perfectly match the navy blue satin cheongsam she is wearing.

Chu Hua was originally full of thoughts, but when he saw the woman in front of him, he immediately put everything behind him.This seemingly weather-beaten woman still has the charming charm of a beauty at first sight, just like a lily swaying.

She is the head of the Deer Tree Nursing Home, and he heard others call her "Mrs. May".

"Please forgive me," the old woman said with a warm smile to the young man in front of her, "It is inevitable that people who are too old will have difficulty moving."

"Older?" Chu Hua narrowed his charming crescent eyes, and put on a cute and lovely smile, "But you only look 25 years old."

"This kind of compliment is not very clever, look at my creases and age spots," Mrs. May laughed as she sat down gracefully, "I am 76 years old."

After some courtesies, the young police detective expressed his intentions, "A friend of mine has received psychiatric treatment here for a period of time. For some reasons that are inconvenient to explain, I need to know about the conditions of his treatment here... "

"As you can see along the way, there are only elderly people who can't take care of themselves. The materials of those mental patients were burned in a fire a few years ago, and there is nothing left." After a pause, she said, "You come here late."

"Is that so?" Chu Hua couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, and asked after thinking for a while, "Have you ever been a staff member of this mental hospital?"

The old woman nodded, "I used to be the head nurse of this mental hospital. Although my position is not high, everyone respects me because I am the dean's aunt."

The young police detective's eyes lit up, "So, you may have an impression of some patients?"

"There used to be 1 patients here." Mrs. Mei showed another elegant smile, her denial was very obvious.

"Maybe if I tell you his name, you will have an impression?" Chu Hua still refused to give up. "His name is Compo. He was convicted of murder due to schizophrenia. He was only 16 years old when he was admitted to the hospital."

The elegant and calm face that was as frozen as ice began to melt. The old woman raised her eyes and looked at the young man directly. Her unwavering gaze was like water overflowing.After a long period of silence, she slowly opened her mouth, "You mean... Compo?"

Chu Hua asked eagerly, "Do you remember him?"

"Of course. Converting the mental hospital into a nursing home for the elderly is what he means, and he is the funder here."

Chu Hua decided to cut to the chase, "My name is Chu Hua, I'm a police detective, and at the same time... and Compo's friend..."

"I know who you are," interrupted the young man gently.After a short period of loss of consciousness, her face began to stretch, and that kind of spring-like smile returned to her face again, and she said, "I have been waiting for you."

"He told you I would come?"

"Yes, he told me a long time ago," Mrs. May stood up, and smiled vaguely at the bewildered detective, "It's earlier than you think." Then she walked to the door and put her hand on the On the doorknob, he looked back and invited the other party to go with him, "Do you want to go to the place where he lived at that time?"

The two walked slowly side by side, the dry and monotonous incandescent lights followed their footsteps, and the silence away from the hustle and bustle taught people to be willing to be lonely in it.

Mrs. May said, "Those psychiatric wards like cells have been remodeled, but according to Compaq's intention, only the one he used to live in was kept."

"Could it be, to wait for me?"

Chu Hua just made random guesses and asked, but he didn't expect the other party to smile and nod, "To wait for you."

I don't know if it's true or not.

"I heard people say that in order to escape legal sanctions, he deliberately pretended to be a mentally ill person in order to hide the truth?"

"It was true that he had no mental problems when he was admitted to the hospital, but later on. His condition deteriorated, and he began to indulge in the world he deconstructed and reconstructed, refusing to talk to anyone." The old woman looked sideways at the young policeman. Glancing over, he continued, "He's the most beautiful boy I've ever seen, very smart and polite. He told me that the murder was an accident and that pretending to be a schizophrenic was a mistake. He also told me I regretted it, and if he had another chance to choose, he would rather sit in the electric chair to get redemption. We talked a lot at that time, about his crazy and reckless life before he was admitted to the hospital, and about the woman he murdered."

"Do you have any information about that woman?"

Mrs. Mei took another look at Chu Hua, then looked away, and shook her head, "Unfortunately, no."

When Chu Hua was about to ask questions, the woman beside him stopped suddenly.

"It's here."

He saw a rusty iron door.There are no windows through the door.
