misplaced survival

Song Zhou took Tao Yiran and drove to Dong Hui's hometown. The residential area was very quiet, and their arrival broke the tranquility here.

"Young man, did you find the wrong place?" The old man bent over and asked as he walked out of the house.

Song Zhou glanced at the location and was sure it was this location, "Mother-in-law, we are here to find someone."

The old man moved over in small steps and asked, "Who are you looking for? We are going to change the scenic spot at the end of the year, and there are no people living here."

"Grandma, do you know Dong Hui from the Dong family?" Tao Yiran bent over, at the same height as the old man.

The old man's reaction speed is slower, and after a while, she slowly responded: "Ah, I heard, the house on the corner in front, but no one has lived in it for a long time, and the son of the Dong family moved out a few years ago." Go live in Jiangxin."

As she spoke, she leaned against the wall and slowly sat on the small stool in front of the door, fanning herself with a cattail fan.

Tao Yiran heard the words, and whispered to the team leader: "Dong Hui's parents did give birth to another son, named Dong Jiayao."

Song Zhou nodded, he knew about it.Because of an accident when he was a child, the young Dong Hui was severely burned and lost his fertility. Although Dong Hui's parents felt guilty, they gave birth to another child within a few years.

The police in charge of this case had investigated this matter before, and after Dong Jiayao was born, Dong Hui became more and more unpopular at home.After that, Dong Hui didn't go home very often until he left his original family.

After the incident, Dong Hui started a fugitive life and never contacted his family again.A few years ago, his parents died of illness one after another, and the police rushed to control the funeral scene. As soon as Dong Hui appeared, he was arrested immediately, but Dong Hui did not show up from the beginning to the end.

The old man said slowly: "The Dong family is also unlucky to give birth to such a monster. Fortunately, the daughter-in-law of the Dong family was upbeat and gave birth to a boy, otherwise she will definitely be punished by the king of hell!"

Hearing this, Song Zhou raised his eyebrows in surprise, then squatted halfway beside the old man, and asked, "Grandmother, can you explain in detail? If you can't give birth to a son, you will be punished by Lord Yama?"

He has never believed in these things, but the older generation is quite evil about this kind of feudal superstition, nailing people into a frame with Gangchang ethics|principles, and even using some absurd remarks as spiritual guidance.

When the old man saw the young man asking, he said solemnly: "Women have Yin energy, while men have Yang energy. There is no male in the family, and Yin and Yang are out of balance. This is creating evil for the family. After death, you will go to the eighteenth level of hell." The neighbor gave birth to a daughter and refused to ask for another boy. After two years, she was gone! This is all retribution!"

Tao Yiran left quietly, and came back after asking around, explaining in a low voice: "The hostess of the neighbor has already had hepatitis, but because she is pregnant, she can't take chemotherapy and medicine. She actively cooperated with the treatment after giving birth, but she still didn't suffer. live."

This is not a monster at all, it's just a coincidence.

Song Zhouyi nodded and asked the old man, "The Dong family gave birth to two sons in a row. What happened? Mother-in-law, whether the children are male or female has nothing to do with family happiness."

Seeing that his words were being refuted, the old man immediately had no good impression of the two young people in front of him, and yelled at them to leave quickly.

Tao Yiran was very puzzled by this strange thought, and wondered, "Where did such unreliable rumors come from?"

"Calculating, Dong Hui is 56 years old this year. When he was born, the environment was relatively harsh. In the eyes of many people, a male is more valuable as a labor force in the family." Song Zhou put his hands in his pockets, slowly step forward.

At that time, it was because of the environment that the rights of men and women were unbalanced, and patriarchal thinking was serious.

Now is no longer the time to suffer from hunger, but some feudal ideas are still preserved to this day.

As they spoke, they walked outside Dong's house, only to see that the door was also covered with dust. It seemed that no one had been back for a long time.

They did not have a search warrant and could not enter the door directly. They could only stand outside the house and look in through the glass window.I saw three Bodhisattvas in the alcove, candlesticks and trays on the incense table, and various Bodhisattva statues on the wall. Those who didn't know it thought it was a Buddhist hall.

"Captain, do I need to apply for a search warrant?" Tao Yiran asked.

Song Zhou shook his head. He still believed in Jiang Xiyan's ability. The police had checked here before. Since they found nothing, there was no need for them to investigate again.

Now it seems that Dong Hui grew up under the poison of this feudal ideology, so he is particularly obsessed with the matter of offspring, but because he is unable to have children, he has his eyes on other people's children.

It seems that this is the reason why Xu Xiaoming disappeared.

It's just that he doesn't understand that Dong Hui has been hiding for many years, but suddenly appeared recently. Is it because of Xu Xiaoming, or something happened to him?

Regardless of the reason, they must hurry up and find Dong Hui.

"Let's go, let's meet this Dong Jiayao." Song Zhou took out the key from his pocket and walked towards the parking space.

"Send it!" Tian Ye's voice resounded through the office of Criminal Investigation Team [-] of Jianglong City Public Security Bureau.

Suddenly his desk was crowded with people, all staring at him to open the video.

Tian Ye skipped some temporarily useless information, and started to play it after capturing Pan Yuanshan.

In the video, Pan Yuanshan is standing on the side of the road and is talking back and forth on the side of the road with her phone. Judging from her expression, she should be arguing with someone.

After she hung up the phone, she dropped her schoolbag on the ground, stomped her feet in frustration, and then covered her face and burst into tears as if feeling aggrieved.

But her emotions passed quickly, and she adjusted her mood and stood up again.But she was still spinning around in place, looking preoccupied.

Afterwards, she was able to match what the taxi driver said. Pan Yuanshan rejected the driver and chose to leave alone.

The driver didn't force it, and turned around and drove away.

"Who is the little girl arguing with?" Tian Ye wondered.

Li Pei turned to the physical evidence and asked, "Among the physical evidence you brought back, is there the deceased's mobile phone?"

Jiang Xiyan nodded and said, "Yes, the deceased's schoolbag and mobile phone are on the side of the road 200 meters away from the crime scene. The deceased should have been dragged away by the muzzle."

Yi Cheng went on to say: "We have extracted the fingerprints on the phone together, and they have been handed over to the technical department to restore the call records."

A voice came from the corner of the office, "Hurry up, hurry up, there is nothing wrong with the phone, but it is out of battery, and it will be turned on immediately."

Li Pei nodded in response, checked the video again, went back after watching it, and watched it several times. His gaze shifted from Pan Yuanshan to her surroundings.

The place she is in is relatively remote and there are not many pedestrians.So after watching it several times, Li Pei was distracted to pay attention to the movements of other people on the road.

Suddenly, when the driver was turning a corner, the driving recorder captured a suspicious figure.The man limped across the road and seemed to be walking in Pan Yuanshan's direction.

But the driver didn't stay long, turned around and drove away.

Li Pei immediately called the police from the technical department, "Gao Fang, come here!"

Gao Fang just turned on the cell phone of the deceased and heard the captain urging him. While checking the phone records, he walked towards the captain and argued aggrievedly: "Captain, it's because the phone is slow. Stop urging me, I'm adjusting!"

He really couldn't do anything with Pan Yuanshan's mobile phone. It looked like a smart phone, but it was stuck. It took 10 minutes to start it up. There were only a few functions in the phone, and it couldn't even save a few photos. The mobile phone should be specially used for Pan Yuanshan to answer the phone.

But for a little money, you can buy a mobile phone with better performance, which is not even suitable for the elderly.

"That's not why I called you." Li Pei pointed at the figure crossing the road and asked, "Can you zoom in on this picture and make it clearer?"

Gao Fang raised the frame of his glasses, shook his head and said, "The pixels are too bad, it's difficult."

He looked away, pointed to another car at the intersection and said, "Hey, this car is close, so there should be more pictures. I'll contact the driver of this car."

Gao Fang's voice fell, and he was just about to return to his work station. After walking two steps, he remembered that he was holding the cell phone of the deceased in his hand.

"Captain, this video captures Pan Yuanshan on the phone. The person talking to her should be her mother." He put the phone on the table knowingly, and pointed to the call record on the screen. It is "Mom", and the time is the same as the time of the driving recorder.

"Did you call Pan Yuanshan's family members to come over to identify the body?" Li Pei glanced at the time, "I think they will be here soon, and the investigation team will visit their house later."

Kuai Lian responded, "Okay!"

Yi Cheng noticed something wrong with Jiang Xiyan's expression, and asked in a low voice with concern, "Are you okay?"

He didn't know exactly what happened between Jiang Xiyan and his family, but as a college roommate, he felt that Jiang Xiyan didn't have a particularly good relationship with his family.

Just now when he heard that the deceased's last phone call was to his mother, Jiang Xiyan's expression changed instantly.

Jiang Xiyan sighed heavily, and said hoarsely, "I'm fine."

Even though almost five years have passed, he still can't forget what happened back then.After all, there is a blood relationship, and no matter how bad his heart is, he will still talk kindly to his parents and be a good son, but he still can't get over that hurdle in his heart.

No matter how many times he told himself, don't mind it, but when he heard about Pan Yuanshan, he still couldn't help but feel chilled.

When Lian Xia arrived at the police station, she saw that her daughter was no longer angry, and her body was covered with bruises. She couldn't calm down for a while, and almost passed out. She knelt down on the ground and cried in grief.

Pan Xiang turned his head away, unwilling to look any further, and sighed heavily.

Li Pei walked up to Lian Xia, gave a few words of relief, and then said, "Ms. Lian, the police still have some questions about the details of your daughter's case and need your help."

Lian Xia was immersed in grief and had no time to take into account the police's interrogation.

Seeing that Lian Xia was still crying, Li Pei asked patiently: "Ms. Lian, the last call from your daughter was to you. Have you ever had a fight? How is the relationship?"

Lian Xia looked at her daughter's dead body, shed tears of grief, and sobbed, "We had a quarrel, but... how could I know that a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child is so fragile, just a few words..."

Kuai Lian took the house key given to him by the deceased's father, opened the door, put on protective equipment at the door, and walked slowly into Pan Yuanshan's house.

The moment she pushed open the door of her room, everyone froze.
