X sleeps in the bedroom.The window is half open, and the sea breeze is mixed with drizzle.

It was raining in the dream, and there was a wet breath on the face. On the old street, a puddle of water reflected the old residential buildings. A child after school ran past...

slap.

The little gray shoes stepped on the rain pit, and the splash of water shattered the reflection of the old building.

In the hazy rain, the little boy ran into the building.

,

In the dark corridor, when Xiao Yu climbed to the third floor, he heard fierce beating and scolding upstairs.

Dad is back!

Xiao Yu immediately rushed to Room 404, the mottled green iron door closed hell.

"You dare to ask me for a divorce? If I hadn't covered you up when you stole on the bus, you wouldn't have known which prison you would have died in! Shall I get a divorce?"

"I knew you were such a beast! I might as well stay in prison for a few years and get out!"

"Snapped--"

Loud slap.

"Tell me again? If you don't tickle your skin for a day, will you? What a fucking bitch!"

Bang bang bang!

The sound of the head being hit against the wall one after another, the sound of the glass being smashed, the sound of being dragged, and then the scream of the mother...

Xiao Yu rushed in to stop his father who was 1.9 meters tall:

"Don't hit mom!"

He stood in front of the carriage like a glutinous rice dumpling and was kicked away:

"Go away!"

The toe of the shoe was kicked into the stomach, and Xiao Yu was kicked away and hit the corner of the table.The mother who was bleeding from her forehead immediately struggled to get up from the ground:

"Why are you beating the child!"

"He is my son, if you don't hit him, who will you hit?"

The big hand picked up Xiao Yu, punched and kicked and threw it on the ground,

Xiao Yu fell to the corner of the wall with his head in his arms, and the porcelain piece of the cup that was broken just now pierced his back. The father who is 1.9 meters tall is like a mountain that cannot be crossed in front of him.

"Xie Shiyu... Xie Shiyu...!!"

There was something warm flowing down from his head, Xiao Yu slightly loosened his hand holding his head, blood was stained on his thin white palm.

Mom rushed over and hugged him:

"How can you beat him like this! Who are you to beat such a small child! Ah—"

Mom was pulled by her hair, pulled over, and then beaten:

"So what if I beat you? If you dare, go to the police? Do you dare? Let the police see how much stolen goods you have in your house. Go! Damn woman, if you dare to divorce me in the future, see if I don't beat you to death." you!"

The tearing cries and beatings exploded in Xiaoyu's ears, the sound of throwing things, broken glass teacups, overturned tables and chairs...

Mother hugged Xiao Yu in her arms and curled up into a ball.

"It's so noisy——"

Outside Xie Shiyu's house in room 404, the door of 403 opened, and the drunken man opened the door and shouted:

"Keep your voice down! If you can't live on, go get a fucking divorce! It's sick to disturb the people here!"

The aunt in Room 401 is walking leisurely in the corridor with a handful of sunflower seeds in her hand:

"Ouch, husband and wife quarreled, and the quarrel at the end of the bed ended." The aunt knocked a melon seed, and looked at the door of Xiao Yu's house as if watching a play:

"Look at the beating and scolding people, haven't they been living well for so many years?"

,

"Did you let the neighbors know about the divorce?"

The husband of 1.9 meters has a terrible haze on his face.

After being beaten to the point of bleeding, her body trembled conditionedly.

"It's impossible not to teach you a lesson today!"

He turned to the belt.

In utter desperation, Xie Shiyu's mother looked at the kitchen knife on the kitchen chopping board.

"Mother."

Xiao Yu felt something, and immediately pulled his mother.

The mother who is less than 1.6 meters tall and has been beaten to death, and the little him, even if they work together, it is impossible to beat the father who is only 1.9 meters tall in his prime.If he took the knife at this time, he might be killed by his father directly.

[Children under the age of 14 will not be held criminally responsible]

The law popularization books that I saw by chance in the library are engraved in Xiaoyu's mind like a brand, even if I want to do it...

Don't involve your mother either.

The belt he was waving was torn apart, and the drug-addicted father seemed to be suffering from a drug addiction, becoming more and more irritable, and the terrible hell was so long that it made people want to die.

The bruised Xiao Yu was kicked to the corner again. He fell to the ground clutching his stomach. The tungsten lamp at home was dimly lit. He blinked and looked at the knife on the kitchen chopping board. The blood clotted on his head on his eyelashes.

The bright blade of the knife was stuck on the chopping board, reflecting a scene in the living room where a woman was beaten by her hair.

bang——

After beating the mother and son, the father took away all the money in the family and slammed the door away.

,

X woke up from the dream.

On the window sill, the succulents he planted fell down, and the porcelain pot shattered into several petals.The rainy sea breeze lifted the curtains.

X got up, sat in the wheelchair, turned around, and closed the window.

His head ached.The buildings and scenes that were clearly seen in the dream, but he couldn't remember them clearly when he woke up, but the endless beating and scolding made him feel uncomfortable even thinking about it now.

It seems that my childhood...was not good.

X originally conceived that a little boy who was full of curiosity about nature, from a relatively ordinary family, would observe swallows with his good friends downstairs at home, such a beautiful childhood.

X found a piece of paper and tried to write down the fragments that he could still remember from his dream. He could communicate with a psychiatrist at that time, and maybe he could recover a little more.

He couldn't remember many things in the dream when he woke up. He only remembered: his father domestically abused his mother, who was very weak and was beaten badly. At that time, he was very young and couldn't fight back.

and also……

When he was beaten, his mother rushed over to protect him and called his name:

"..."

X is holding a pen with the nib pointed at the paper, like a candidate writing an ancient poem on a Chinese paper. He has clearly memorized it, but he can't remember the last sentence.

His mother called him:

"……Jade"

It seems to be three words, what jade.

X wrote on the paper: Jade...

Maybe it's Yu?This word is often used by boys too...

If it could be the third sound, Nayu and Yu are also possible.

X drew a question mark next to the word "Yu" in the third sound, and he silently read it a few times in his heart... It seemed that something was wrong, and "Yu" was more like it.

He circled the word "yu", turned on the input method, and began to search for all the characters in the four-tone language:

Desire, encounter, prison, depression, recovery...

speaking,

X suddenly thought that the name of Chu Feng's dead husband was: Xie Shiyu.

It happens to be three characters too, with four tones ending.

- What a coincidence.

,

"If you don't eat it, you'll be cold."

Raindrops splashed on the window, making a rustling sound.Chu Feng, who was sitting by the piano, came back to his senses.

"What are you doing in a daze?"

In the game, the 13-year-old Xiao Xie who came back from washing his hands stood cutely in front of Chu Feng, much shorter than him.

The 29-year-old Chu Feng looked at Xie Shiyu's hands.

A 13-year-old cute boy, still in school, wearing the blue and white school uniform of the first year of junior high school, his freshly washed hands, with slender fingers and white palms, are extremely clean.No one can imagine...

Chu Feng thought of Xie Shiyu's graffiti on the ugly rabbit book in junior high school: Zhengzhengzhengzhengzheng

37 roads, and a picture of a knife.

It is generally guessed that it may have been stabbed 37 times...

But when Chu Feng saw Xie Shiyu in front of him, he suddenly came up with a more terrifying hypothesis.

Xie Shiyu started it on the day he came to play at his house. As soon as it was over, when he received a call from him, he hurried over to play with him in the rainstorm.

After 16 years, Chu Feng was no longer able to determine what day Xie Shiyu came to play at his house.

That kind of rainy weather, in the city where he lived since he was a child, is usually at the turn of spring and summer, and it is possible from April to June.

Chu Feng remembered that on the first day of junior high school, he was forced by his mother to participate in the Provincial Piano Competition on Children's Day, so the piano teacher was giving him extra lessons. It happened that the rainstorm teacher didn't come that day, so he went to call Xie Shiyu. If you look at it this way, Things must happen before 6.1.

That day, my mother was away on a business trip, and my father was in school, so the rainstorm simply lived in the school.His parents don't work overtime on weekends, so they will definitely watch him at home.So exclude and then exclude the weekend two days.

16 years ago, when May Day was still a seven-day holiday, 5.1-5.7 was also excluded.On Qingming Festival, relatives from all walks of life in the Chu family will go to visit the grave together, so Qingming Festival is also excluded.

One day during the remaining four or five months, Xie Shiyu...

,

"Chu Feng."

"Ok?"

"Is my egg fried rice not good?" Xiao Xie, a 13-year-old character, suddenly approached, "You've been in a daze."

Chu Feng came back to his senses, Xie Shiyu's magnified face in front of him, Xiao Xie stretched out his hand and rubbed it from the corner of his mouth:

"Rice grains."

Chu Feng: "..."

Xiao Xie: "Do you want me to eat it?"

"do not want!"

"Oh." Xiao Xie silently put the rice grains on the table, and cast a teasing look at Chu Feng, "How can such a big person blush? Aren't we all married?"

Chu Feng: "Getting married is a matter of the future. They were just friends in junior high school."

Xiao Xie: "Oh, more than AUO, but not enough lovers?"

"..." Chu Feng took a small bite of egg fried rice with his chopsticks:

"I'm thinking about something very important right now, don't interrupt my train of thought."

Xie Shiyu: "What do you want?"

Chu Feng chewed slowly and tasted the taste that he could no longer taste in reality, and sighed softly:

"...what else can I think of."

——I just miss you.

,

"May I ask if there was a particularly serious... case 16 years ago?"

Chopsticks picked up a small mouthful of rice. Outside the game, Chu Feng was holding the phone, eating Yangzhou egg fried rice from Lin Lan's takeaway.

This time he called the Municipal Criminal Police Archives Office and asked to see the criminal cases in the city 16 years ago.

Although it is very old, these materials are not too important, but if you want to read this material, you still need something related.

Chu Feng had no one in the public security system. Although Lin Lan knew some seniors who were policemen, it was still a bit embarrassing for an outsider to see the information of the Municipal Bureau.

As a last resort, Chu Feng went to find his grandfather, the former director of the Finance Bureau of the municipal government. His grandfather had a good relationship with the director of the Public Security Bureau.

Grandpa quietly picked up the phone, listened to a few words, and yelled at his grandson:

"Aren't you in charge of the company Xiaoxie left behind?"

Chu Feng: "Yes."

"What, Xiao Xie's company is not big enough? Not enough for you to manage? I see that the CEO is too busy every day, but you are doing nothing, and want to change your career to become a criminal police officer? Are you still in charge of the case from 16 years ago?"

"I……"

"Okay! I'm so old, I don't want to care about what you're doing. But, Chu Feng, people still have to look forward. You know what grandpa means."

Chu Feng: "...um."

"If you like men, you like men. Find an honest man with a better personality and live a good life. Don't think about it all day long. It will make us elders worry about it."

"…Um."

Grandpa: "I heard that your mother has found several partners?"

Chu Feng immediately said: "None of them are suitable."

"Fart! Your mother said you wouldn't even see me!"

Chu Feng took the phone a little further away.Grandpa is cranky online:

"You don't see each other, get along, how do you know if it's suitable? I think your mother is still worrying about you. If you want information, I'll just call, but next time your mother introduces you, you should at least meet One side. Do you hear me?"

Chu Feng: "..."

"This is the condition. Grandpa, I am not foolish."

Chu Feng: "... Got it."

"Oh, Chu Feng, it's not that we insist on forcing you to go on a blind date. If you can live well by yourself, we have no objections. But look at how you have taken care of yourself in the past two years since Xiao Xie left. gone?"

Chu Feng was speechless.

After a while, grandpa sent him a call and asked him to call directly to ask.

City Criminal Police Archives Manager:

"Uh...you want 16 years ago...they are all paper files, too old. What case do you want to investigate? Extraordinary cases...does it mean drug trafficking? Smuggling? Or..."

Chu Feng paused for a moment: "The murder case."

"Murder cases, there are quite a lot of them... Is it convenient for you to come here? Because these paper documents are sealed, it is not convenient for us to scan them into electronic documents and send them to you. You can come and look for them yourself."

"Okay, thank you, I'll be there tomorrow." Chu Feng paused again, and still asked the terrifying conjecture in his heart:

"Sixteen years ago, was there... a murder and dismemberment case?"

,

"Oh! If you mentioned the dismemberment case, then I knew about it! That case...was quite terrifying, and there were very few clues. At that time, I was afraid to let the media report it."

Chu Feng: "Have you... caught the murderer?"

"I caught it! Of course I caught it! At that time, I thought it must be an unsolved case, and the murderer's tactics were too clean. I didn't expect to find a key piece of evidence in the end and solve the case directly! The criminal police in charge have been promoted several levels, and now they are transferred to the province... ..."

The administrator of the archives room thought that Chu Feng, who was opposite him, would definitely ask him: Who is the murderer?

He got up to find the murderer's information, and was about to read it to him, but unexpectedly, on the other end of the phone——

Chu Feng no longer cared about who the captured murderer was, and only said:

"I want to ask, how many pieces... the victim's body was cut into?"

The administrator on the opposite side was taken aback.

He didn't expect Chu Feng to ask such a question, and the murderer's information in his hand was immediately useless:

"Uh, wait, I'll take a look... um..."

Chu Feng gripped the phone tightly, and there was a scalding temperature in his palm.

After a while, the other side replied:

"Twenty dollars."
