One summer evening in
2014, at ten o’clock. Dong Yi, a police officer of Banshan Street Police Station in Tongliang District of
Chongqing, found a child under the bridge hole. The child did not say a word and seemed to be mute.
When Dong Yi and Xiao Li, a probationary police officer, took the child back to the duty room of the police station and prepared to collect fingerprints, they were even more surprised to find that the ends of the child’s ten fingers all seemed to have been corroded by something, scarred and scabby, completely unable to collect fingerprints.
That’s strange. Dong Yi and Xiao Li looked at each other speechless and were considering what to do when the child suddenly spoke. I
‘m from Liaoning. I ran away from home. Police uncle, can I contact them by myself? I don’t want them to get a call from the police. I’m afraid I’ll scare them. The child doesn’t have the accent of Chongqing, but he doesn’t have the accent of the northeast. Maybe he has been away from home for a long time, and he feels like a mixture of southern and northern accents. All right
, are you hungry? Uncle, go and buy you a loaf of bread. It’s quite late and there’s nowhere to order something to eat. Dong Yi looked back at Xiao Li, Xiao Li hurried to go out, and then later the shop may be closed.
“By the way, what’s your name?”
Uncle.. I’m tired and I want to sleep for a while. “Well, you can make do with the sofa against the wall in this office tonight, and your uncle will help you contact your family at dawn tomorrow.” Dong Yi finished and went out. The kind-hearted policemen did not pay much attention to
a very common case of missing persons until many years later, when they recalled the mystery and conspiracy hidden in the case, they still had a lingering fear. At one o’clock
that night, the public security bureaus of all cities in Liaoning Province received a call from Chongqing Municipality. The person on the other end of the
phone said that his name was Yu Song, a police officer from a police station in Tongliang District, Chongqing. He said that there was a child who had been lost in Liaoning for four years and needed to be confirmed. The public security departments that received calls in all cities of
Liaoning began to work overtime to confirm. In
the early morning, a police officer in Fushun finally found the file of the missing child.
The child, Wu Wenteng, mysteriously disappeared one day four years ago and has not been heard from since. When the police officer found out, he immediately pressed the call back.
The phone was picked up after only half a ring, and the opposite side was obviously in a hurry. Police officer Yu Song, who
answered the phone, could not hide his excitement when he heard that he had found it: “Please fax me the relevant information about this child right away.”. Thank you, thank you!
Five minutes later, police officer Yu Song got the form, which contained the photo and registration information of missing teenager Wu Wenteng, home address, contact person and other information. The camera zoomed in on officer Yu Song’s face, and it turned out to be the mysterious child with scarred fingers just now. There was a strange smile on his face at the moment.
The next morning, the police station received several calls from all parts of Liaoning Province, all asking about last night’s contact. Yin Yong, director of the
police station, was very angry. What are you doing? Contact the local Abduction Office directly, or contact his family directly the next day. How can you contact so many units repeatedly? What kind of idiot is this? He checked last night’s duty schedule, immediately called the past, and scolded Dong Yi, who was sleeping after work.
Dong Yizhang and King Kong couldn’t make head or tail of it and explained in a confused way. “I didn’t make a phone call. I left the boy to let the colleague on duty today contact him during the day. It was written on my handover form.”
“Hey?” Director Yin hung up the phone suspiciously.
Later, after questioning, I learned that the caller last night was Yu Song, and Director Yin was even more puzzled. Officer
Yu Song accidentally broke his arm when he was on duty last night. He hasn’t been to work for several days. How could he come here in the middle of the night to make a phone call? Who the hell is making
this call? Before the police at the
police station could figure it out, the Fushun City Public Security Bureau called again, saying that it had found the child named Wu Wenteng, who was indeed missing in the city four years ago, and had now contacted his family. Director Yin asked the other party to fax the photos of the missing child so that the final verification could be made here.
In the afternoon, a missing person registration form with a photo was faxed over, and several people in the Institute, including Director Yin, took the photo and compared it with the child.
Some people say that it is not like, some people say that it is, after all, several years, the child is developing, there must be some changes in all aspects.
Fortunately, the result was good, and the missing child found his parents smoothly. As for the phone call. Director Yin patted his head. He really couldn’t think of it, and he didn’t want to study it any more.
They never expected that the phone call was made by the so-called Wu Wenteng himself.
That night he was half lying on the sofa in a daze, thinking about how to prove his identity, when he suddenly saw a police bulletin wall on the wall of the office, with the photos and names of all the policemen hanging on it. Then he turned over the address book of the national police units on his desk and dialed the telephone numbers of the public security bureaus in Liaoning Province in the name of police officer Yu Song according to the telephone numbers on it. After
getting the fax information, he sat and thought for a while, considering what else was not comprehensive.
Right! There is another important link!
If the family doesn’t recognize me, the police will suspect my identity. I have to get in touch with the family so that they won’t be surprised when the police find them tomorrow. Yes, it’s perfect, and you can get a glimpse of it from the tone of the family
.
So he dialed Wu Wenteng’s brother’s mobile phone according to the contact information on the form.
Hello? Who is it? What time is it? A man’s voice came from the opposite side.
“Are you Wu Wen-teng’s family?” There was
silence for 10 seconds, and there was a voice of doubt.
Yes.. Who are you?
“May I ask who you are?” Wu Wenteng continued to ask.
I’m his brother, Wu Bin. Who the hell are you?
This is the Tongliang District Police Station in Chongqing. I’m police officer Yu Song. We found
a lost teenager here. He said his name was Wu Wenteng. Is that your brother? There was a dead silence on the other side of the
phone.
He seems to have been very frightened and doesn’t communicate with anyone. There are still
a lot of scars on his body. It should be that he was injured during his wandering. When we asked him again and again, he seemed to have a vague memory
, and the only thing he said was that he remembered you. Yes, he said his brother’s name was Wu
Bin. It was
quiet for a while, and then Wu Bin’s voice trembled: “I want to hear his
voice.” The boy put the phone away from his body and uttered a few words in a very weak voice: “Brother, it’s me.”
Then he took the phone and listened to it. The
elder brother cried over there, “Wen Teng, I’ll come and take you home right away.”
Putting down the phone, he took a long breath and lay down on the sofa to sleep peacefully.
And now in the house over there, three people are looking at each other.
Wu Wenteng’s father, Wu Dong, and his mother, Hu Shuanghua, looked pale and frightened, unable to say a word to each other.
“Could it be..” At the same time, they felt a chill in their backs, and a trace of cold sweat seeped from their skin.
For police officers, it is a difficult task to rescue children who have been abducted and sold or lost. Now, a teenager who has been missing for more than four years has been rescued by police officers in Chongqing, thousands of miles away, and almost all the public security systems in all cities of the province are aware of this. After careful consideration, the leaders of the provincial public security department decided to intensify publicity efforts to give a shot in the arm to the vast number of police officers working in the front line. Zhu Jianhua, deputy director of the
Public Security Bureau, personally met with Wu Dong and Hu Shuanghua to comfort them for years of expectation and waiting. At the same time, he also showed them a recent photo of the child sent by Chongqing. They stared at the picture for a long time, and their hands began to tremble slightly, and finally they trembled more and more, and they could hardly hold it. It must have been a long time. The parents are so excited. The child misses you very much. I sent him your photos in the morning, and he recognized you at a glance. It is indeed a matter for congratulation, and we are sincerely happy for you. Deputy Director Zhu was overflowing with joy. Yeah, who can’t be happy when your baby son is back!
At this moment, the parents’ faces are constantly changing. You look at me, and I look at you. When they heard that their son still remembered them and recognized them immediately, Hu Shuanghua could not help covering his chest, and Wu Dong pressed his forehead with one hand, as if in great pain.
The leader lost no time in adding, “The child has suffered a lot these years!”! I heard from my colleagues over there that he has a lot of injuries. When he goes back, he must take good care of him, accompany him more, and make up for the trauma of the child’s soul! If you have any difficulties, you can go to the local public security comrades, and we have already told them to go down and answer every request!
Wu Dong nodded with difficulty.
“When are you going to pick him up?” Deputy Director Zhu asked.
“His brother has already booked the tickets. We’ll go tomorrow. We’ll just wait at home..” Hu Shuanghua murmured. Wu Wenteng, who was waiting for his family to pick him up in
Chongqing, was extremely irritable and restless at the moment.
That night he was proud of his cleverness, but as he calmed down, he began to regret it. It was still late when he received the faxed registration form
that day, and he was afraid that people outside would hear him when he called, so he only turned on a small desk lamp. In the dim light, he felt at a glance that he would take it out and look at it when he was free. In the bright sunshine, he found a fatal problem: Wu Wenteng in the photo had a mole on his mouth, but not on his face! The difference is so obvious, how can relatives not see it? Once
the family arrived at the scene and recognized at a glance that they were not Wu Wenteng himself, they would immediately be exposed, which was really a cocoon of their own. My own past.. He dared not think any more.
He was looking for a chance to run away, but by now he had been taken to the shelter, where the door was guarded 24 hours a day. And when he came, the comrades of the Public Security Bureau repeatedly told him to take good care of him, because his family would come to pick him up in a day or two.
He can’t get away now in any case. Staring at the clock on the wall,
he felt a sense of despair as the end came. He is waiting, waiting for the verdict of fate. At 1:30 on the afternoon of the
third day, Dong Yi arrived with Wu Bin. As soon as he entered the door, he called out happily, “Wu Wenteng, look who’s here.”
Dong Yi looks particularly brilliant. In order to praise this deed, the leader of the sub-bureau specially assigned him to take Wu Bin to recognize his relatives.
Yes, what a glorious and proud thing it is to reunite a long-lost family with one’s own hands! I have handled many cases in my career in the police force, all of which make me meditate and reflect, but this time I am happy.
Wu Bin and Wu Wenteng are finally face to face at this moment. Wu Bin’s eyes were staring straight at him. Wu Wenteng sat there, his eyes not daring to take Wu Bin’s line of sight. The anxiety in his heart gradually turned into a wild beating. He seemed to be able to hear the beating sound of his heart, as if he was about to squeeze out of his chest.
Time seems to stand still.
Suddenly, Wu Bin shouted, “Brother!” Then he stepped forward and hugged him excitedly.
Wu Wenteng’s hands were hanging down, and he had not yet recovered.
Things are changing so fast that the few solutions I have imagined in my mind are completely useless at the moment.
More importantly, his mind was even more frightened than before, and he silently read in his heart: “I go!”!
The alias Wu Wenteng, whose real name is Lin Sen, is 24 years old this year. His hometown was originally a rural suburb of Danzhou, Hainan Province. When he was
born, his father looked at the forest in front of his house and gave him this name, hoping that he would grow into a pillar like a towering tree in the future.
But although he was smart and eager to learn from an early age, he was very naughty by nature. He caught chickens and dogs all day long, and often fought with the children in the village, which made the neighbors uneasy. The villagers shook their heads when they saw the child. At the age of
fourteen, he went to the sea to play. When he returned home, he had a high fever. From then on, his height stayed where it was, and he never grew taller than inch. After many examinations, the doctor believed that he had a problem with his pituitary gland, which caused his growth to slow down or stop, and suggested that his parents take him to a big hospital in Guangdong to have a look. After all, the local medical technology and equipment could not be compared with the international metropolis across the Qiongzhou Strait.
Finally, he said, be prepared, this disease can not be cured by a little money.
His father is a native farmer, who has been working day and night for generations in order to harvest some low-value crops in exchange for meager income. The family is still suffering, struggling up and down in the poverty threshold.
He did not want to cure the child’s illness and let the child grow up healthily, but he really could not afford it. Watching the children around him grow taller day by day, with youthful laughter on his face, and then thinking that he has lived too much in his life, even the only seedling has no money to treat. A fire rose, and one night after a year, he had a heart attack after drinking and left the suffering world in his sleep.
Lin Sen and his mother buried their father in grief, the family lost its pillar, and the sky collapsed in an instant.
Mother was originally a farmer who could not read, but now she can only do the work that her father used to do. She works hard in the fields every day. The crops in Hainan are three crops a year. Farmers have no time to rest at all. Orphans and widows are bullied all day. One night, his mother looked at his hands full of calluses and cracks, and then looked at the sleeping Lin Sen beside him, thinking of the child’s incurable disease, feeling extremely desperate and helpless.
She was so nostalgic for the world, but she felt like living in purgatory now, and the darkness ahead would never see the end. So she silently unscrewed a bottle of tetramine, the mouth of which flashed eerily in the dim light. She wanted to put it in the dish at dinner, eat it with the child, and then both leave this world, so that the child would not suffer in this world. But when the time came, she couldn’t do it after all.
Goodbye, my son.. She drank up the bottle of pesticide and died. After
Lin Sen buried his mother, the house was already bare. Kind-hearted neighbors often brought him some food to eat when they saw his pity. But after all, the villagers are not rich, steep add a mouth, no one can bear. From then on, he began to live a hungry and full life, and he could not go to school.
Fortunately, the weather in Hainan is not cold, and he has suffered less. If he had been born in the northeast, he would have died of hunger and cold.
As the children in the village grew taller and taller, the children who had been bullied by him began to bully him in turn. Often, he ran to his parents’graves black and blue, holding the raised mounds of earth and crying, and sleeping in the graveyard when he was tired. More than
a year later, he felt that he would starve to death sooner or later, so he went to Sanya alone and wanted to live by doing odd jobs.
The locals saw him as short and baby-faced, and always thought he was a child, and refused to hire him. After several days on the street, he was finally taken in by a northeasterner. Zheng Dashan,
a northeasterner from Shenyang, Liaoning Province, opened a northeast dumpling restaurant in Sanya. Zheng Dashan was enthusiastic and forthright, and when he saw Lin Sen’s pitiful appearance when he came to ask about his work, he brought him a plate of dumplings to let him eat first. Lin Sen has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world for more than a year. He has never seen anyone treat him like this. At that moment, he cried bitterly and told Brother Zheng all about his experience. After hearing this, the eldest brother was moved and accepted him as a handyman, and promised to give him 500 yuan a month as a salary. From then on,
Lin Sen stayed in Brother Zheng’s dumpling restaurant and began to work with peace of mind. Day by day, he was influenced by Big Brother Zheng, and even learned a poor Northeastern dialect, which often made everyone laugh.
Unfortunately, the flowers were not red for a hundred days, and Lin Sen soon got into trouble.
Due to the government’s vigorous promotion of tourism industry, the number of Northeast people coming to Sanya for winter has been increasing in recent years, especially in Heilongjiang. When winter comes, Sanya can almost be said to be the world of half of the Northeast people. Walking on the road, you can hear the Northeast accent everywhere. You almost want to have the illusion that Hangzhou is Bianzhou.
One night, three big men from the northeast came to Brother Zheng’s dumpling restaurant and drank for four hours. At 11:30, there were more and more beer bottles on the ground, but they still had no intention of leaving.
Lin Sen went over to clean up the bottles for fear that they would trip when they got up to go to the toilet. As soon as he bent down to pick it up, he felt a chill in his buttocks.
A big drunk man reached out and pulled his pants down.
“Oh, I thought it was a woman, but it turned out to be a man.” The man laughed lewdly, and so did the other two.
Lin Sen pulled up his pants in a hurry, tears rolling in his eyes, staring at the man bitterly, and he felt humiliated. “Oh, you little brat, how dare you stare at me?” With the strength of the wine, the man raised his hand and gave him a loud slap.
“What is it, what is it?” When Brother Zheng heard the noise outside, he quickly put down his work and came out of the inner room. “Oh, you’re drunk, brother. He’s a child. Why did you hit him?”
“Oh, *** me, I’ll get the *** back with you!” The man raised his hand and gave Brother Zheng a slap in the face. Seeing this,
the other two men jumped up at the same time and punched Big Brother Zheng. Zheng eldest brother was defeated, was knocked down to the ground, several people began to kick around him.
Lin Sen could not bear it any longer. He flew into the kitchen, picked up a sharp knife, took advantage of the chaos to approach the guy who pulled down his pants, and stabbed him desperately.
This knife carries his years of resentment, grievance and resentment against all kinds of injustice in the world. You can imagine how hard he is and how he leaves no room.
“Ah..” The man covered his chest, stared at Lin Sen in disbelief, and fell slowly to the ground.
Blood, red blood, gushed out of his chest and turned the ground red in an instant. Seeing this,
the other two men immediately stayed in the local area, and when they saw Lin Sen pulling out his knife and glaring at them, they turned around and ran out in a panic.
Brother Zheng got up from the ground, dirty like a mud monkey, with blood flowing from the corners of his mouth. He looked dully at the big man who had fallen to the ground, feeling that his life was following him as he pulled Lin Sen and took out a stack of crumpled bills from his trousers pocket, a hundred yuan, a ten yuan, a five yuan, and stuffed them into Lin Sen’s bloody hands.
Child, you go quickly. When the police come, I won’t be able to protect you. Brother Zheng said to Lin Sen with tears streaming down his face and trembling.
Lin Sen was stunned for a few seconds, turned around and ran out of the shop, ran like crazy, and disappeared into the darkness.
He ran for a while until he could not run any more, and then he lay down on the grass beside the road and gasped for breath. His mother’s loving face appeared in the starry sky, and he lay there motionless with silent tears.
At daybreak, he had decided to leave Hainan Island. If you kill someone, you can’t stay on this island. So he took a bus straight to Haikou and arrived in Guangdong Province by boat on the same day.
Although separated by a vast sea, he still felt that the distance was too close and not safe enough. He picked up a truck at the freight station and shook it in a daze all night. It was almost noon the next day when the car stopped and he climbed down quietly. Walking along the roadside, he knew from the shop signs on the roadside that he had now arrived in Yongzhou, Hunan.
From then on, he began to wander around.
At the beginning, he tried to do some illegal work, but people saw that he was short and seemed to be a minor child. Regular shops did not dare to hire him, and some dared to use him to deduct his wages and often bully him. He had no choice but to swallow his pride. After such a thing happened twice, he no longer wanted to be wronged. He simply became a vagrant and lived a precarious life by petty theft.
Fortunately, when he worked as a handyman in a print shop, he learned some skills of using computers, photocopiers and sending and receiving faxes by virtue of his intelligence and quick mind to accept new things. Unexpectedly, it really came in handy.
As for fingerprints, it was because he remembered that the knife left at the scene was covered with his own bloody handprints, and he was afraid that one day there would be a mistake because of this, so he used a small bottle of oxalic acid to clean toilet during the time he worked in the shop, and soaked it at night when no one was there, until a few fingertips were finally bloody. Only then did he feel relieved.
A few days ago, he repeated his old trick and picked up a truck to Tongliang District, Chongqing. Unexpectedly, the night patrol of the security joint defense team here was very frequent. He knew that once he was stopped by the police officer in charge, the consequences would be unimaginable, so he decided to find a culvert to endure for another night and find a way to leave here tomorrow.
Half asleep and half awake, in a dazzling light, he seemed to see the kind faces of his parents again, smiling gently at him. Then someone shook him, and he woke up with a start, and saw a police officer crouching in front of him, and the bright light just now was the police officer’s flashlight shining in his face.
This police officer is naturally Dong Yi.
He panicked and thought it was over. So when Dong Yi asked him about his identity and address, he did not dare to answer a word, fearing that if he accidentally revealed a flaw, it would not be far from being shot. When he arrived at the police station, he was still silent. In fact, his mind was spinning fast, thinking about how to deal with the current crisis. Can not be delayed too long, or tomorrow morning, they put their information on the Internet to check, the truth will immediately come to light.
It was not until he caught a glimpse of a missing person’s registration form on a desk that he immediately came up with a plan.
Why not take advantage of your short stature and pretend to be a runaway child? This will at least solve the urgent need. Once they are mistaken by anxious parents, they can break away from the control of the public security, so it is much more convenient to find a chance to escape halfway.
He remembered that day when Zheng, the eldest brother of the dumpling restaurant, mentioned that in the northeast, he often heard that children around him had been abducted and bought these years, and he happened to have some Northeastern dialect, and in a flash of lightning, he had already thought of an idea.
As a result, the scene of that night was staged.
Unexpectedly, the flash of inspiration in my mind has evolved into what it is now, and the plot has become more and more outrageous.
Not only did he make a few random phone calls to find Wu Wenteng, who looked exactly like him, but his brother didn’t recognize the fake and recognized himself directly! In that case..
As long as I pretend that my brain has been stimulated and I can’t remember the past, is there a reasonable explanation for my past experience? Will his parents also regard me as the real Wu Wenteng? Then I’ll have a home from now on. Home! This temptation is too great for Lin Sen. These days of displacement, hunger and cold struggle made him feel that if he could live a happy life with a home and love for only one month, it would be worthwhile to die. Once
the devilish idea spreads, people can’t stop. He wanted to gamble that his previous luck was too bad, and this time, he bet on himself to win.
Seeing the excitement of the two brothers, Dong Yi, a policeman, retreated and let them enjoy themselves. This kind of luck is not something everyone can meet. Sitting beside Wu Wenteng,
Wu Bin said with concern, “I heard from the police officer that you seem to have been a little irritated, and you can’t remember a lot of things from the past.”
Wu Wenteng nodded in silence, he still did not dare to speak, other passes temporarily muddled through, his accent. I guess I have to reveal the truth as soon as I open my mouth.
Wu Bin took his backpack and took out a photo album from it. “Look, our family and relatives are all here. Look at the photos and I’ll help you remember.”
This brother is too thoughtful, even the album has been brought here. Wu Wenteng was confused for a while, but he still looked at the photo album opened by Wu Bin one by one.
“This is my father, this is my mother, this is my second aunt, and this is my third aunt.” Wu Bin earnestly taught Wu Wenteng to recognize people. “This is the third aunt, and this is the youngest aunt.” There are so many relatives
in his family, Wu Wenteng thought. Receiving so much information at once, he really couldn’t remember it, so he picked up several close relatives who repeatedly asked for their identities, and Wu Bin repeatedly gave him advice and corrections. “Mom and Dad miss you so much. You suddenly disappeared, and their eyes were almost blind from crying.” On the plane back, Wu Bin said to Wu Wenteng. Seeing that he did not speak, I thought he was a little afraid of taking a plane for the first time, so I stopped talking and fell asleep in a daze. He was really a little tired these two days.
At this moment, Wu Wenteng was meditating with the temporary identity certificate issued to him by the police station.
With this thing, I can handle my ID card and registered permanent residence smoothly in the northeast. From then on, I am really him.
Looking at Wu Bin’s concern for himself and listening to his description of his parents, they should also be a pair of kind and loving old people. Is it really good for me to deceive them like this? God won’t punish me, right?
But then he found an excuse to comfort himself that their child had been lost for so many years, and that it was the greatest blessing for them to find it, and that it would do them no good to tell them that they were impostors at the moment, which would only rub salt into their wounds. As long as they are good to themselves, there is nothing wrong for me to treat them as my biological parents. I should show filial piety to them and provide for their old age. Being a child is nothing more than that. At the gate
of Taoxian Airport, reporters from TV stations and major newspapers were already waiting at the gate.
They received a notice from the Public Security Bureau that a teenager who had been missing for four years had recently been successfully recovered with the cooperation of the police in Chongqing and Liaoning. This is exciting news and has a strong positive significance in public opinion. First, it can inspire the determination and confidence of the vast number of public security police officers in the anti-abduction work; second, it can encourage those who have lost their loved ones to see some hope in the midst of difficulties. Society needs too much positive energy in this area to carry out publicity and guidance. As soon as
Wu Bin and Wu Wenteng came out, they were surrounded by the crowd. The flashlights flashed, and many reporters crowded up and stretched out their microphones, hoping that they could say a few words from the bottom of their hearts. Although
Wu Bin was very nervous, he still said a few simple words as taught by the police officer who followed them on the way back. He thanked the relevant government departments and the public security organs for helping us find our lost relatives. Then he pulled Wu Wenteng onto the van waiting at the gate. Wu Wenteng didn’t say a word in the whole process.
Because he realized one more thing in this heated scene, and it seemed to be a big deal. What if the real Wu Wenteng comes back one day? The people who greeted me, and his family.. And those cops, they’re not gonna eat me alive? A chill came up, and he dared not show a little of his half-baked northeastern accent, so he frowned all the way and was speechless all the way. After
arriving home, Deputy Director Zhu personally sent Wu Wenteng to his parents. As soon as Wu Wenteng entered the door, Wu Dong and Hu Shuanghua stood up. They all stood stiffly in place, looking at each other with several pairs of eyes, like wood carvings and clay sculptures. The
air froze, and the room of so many people was eerily quiet for a moment.
Wu Binlian pulled Wu Wenteng to his parents: “Wenteng, hurry up. Mom and Dad miss you badly.” Then he took his mother by the hand and said, “Mom and Dad, why don’t you speak? Your younger brother, whom you have been longing for day and night, has come back. Look how excited you are.” Wu Dong looked at Wu Wenteng in front of him, then looked at Deputy Director Zhu and the police officer holding the camera beside him, and then turned his eyes to Wu Wenteng.
“Sit..” After
Wu Wenteng sat down, the police officer quickly took out his camera and took a few pictures. Deputy Director Zhu looked at the scene in front of him and did not notice anything unusual. Everyone’s reaction to
sudden great joy and great sorrow is different. Some people will be ecstatic, some people will laugh, and some people will suddenly become silent. Psychologically, this is related to each person’s experience and psychological endurance, which is called stress response.
He has been engaged in police work for many years, and has risen to this position bit by bit from the grass-roots level by virtue of his achievements and struggles. During this period, he has seen too many joys and sorrows, so he has long been familiar with them.
It’s almost time to leave. Let the family enjoy the time of reunion. He thought as he smoothed things over: The child has been outside for so long and has gone through a lot of hardships, and you have missed him for so long, so it’s hard to avoid being a little overwhelmed for a while. You can have a good chat, and we’ll go first.
Wu Dong and Wu Bin quickly stood up and shook hands with Deputy Director Zhu to say goodbye, saying thank you repeatedly. Holding Wu Dong’s hand, Deputy Director Chu said, Tomorrow morning I will send someone to pick up the child and make a record, mainly about the child’s experience over the past few years, so that we can improve the case file. Also, you have to go there, and we have to collect some blood samples for DNA testing, so that the whole process is over. When
Wu Bin heard this, he was stunned. He hurried over and said, “Director Zhu, it’s not necessary to have a DNA test, is it?”? This whole family has recognized each other. What could possibly go wrong? Deputy Director Zhu turned to him and said, “This is the prescribed procedure. Only with this report can case be considered completely closed.”. Let’s not talk about it. I won’t disturb your family reunion. Then he turned and went out.
Wu Dong and Wu Bin looked at each other, Wu Dong looked back at Wu Wenteng, and saw that Wu Wenteng was also looking at himself. Looking at each other for a
long time.
Then Hu Shuanghua came over and took Wu Wenteng by the hand. “My child, it’s all right if you come back. Our whole family misses you very much.”. Maybe I’m too happy. You see, I don’t know what to say when we meet.
Wu Bin hurriedly added, “Yes, yes, Mom, please take him to his room to have a rest.”. Let’s cook and celebrate tonight. Wen Teng, drink some, too. Then he turned around and said, “Dad, Wen Teng has been under some stress over the past few years. The police officer said it might have an effect on his brain. He can’t remember a lot of things. Let him rest. Maybe he’ll recover in a few days.”
Wu Dong still stared at Wu Wenteng and nodded silently.
Wu Wenteng lay on the bed and quickly reorganized today’s events in his mind to see if there were any obvious flaws. Because
I hardly speak here, I should not. What about the
family’s reaction? Apart from his brother Wu Bin, who already believed it, the reaction of his parents when he first entered the door was obviously problematic. Should not recognize, at least the eyes are full of doubt. Later, the mother took the initiative to come over and hold her hand, which should have lowered her doubts. After all, everyone knows that the appearance of a teenager will change after so many years of leaving home. Then she should have no problem for the time being.
Only the father’s reaction has been wrong, he should see that he is not himself, at least from beginning to end he did not believe that this is his own son.
Of course!
From the moment he stepped into the house, Wu Dong saw at a glance that the child was definitely not his son Wu Wenteng! What father doesn’t know his own son?
Hu Shuanghua is the same.
But they were very cooperative to finish the scene, and now the three of them sat on the sofa in relative silence, and the living room fell into a dead silence.
The next day, Wu Wenteng and his family were taken to the office by the police officer who came to pick him up to make a statement. He described his experience in the past few years almost perfectly.
He first ran away from home and wanted to go to Beijing to play. He met a foreigner on a bench in the waiting room of the railway station and was abducted and sold to a remote mountain village in Shaanxi Province. It was covered with loess, inaccessible, surrounded by desolate hillsides, with no discernible reference, and he had escaped aimlessly at night, so he could not recall the place.
Then he was tricked into going to Hunan at the station, where several children of the same age were forced to beg, and the fingerprints on their hands were burned by bad people. Finally, he escaped again and got into a truck on the side of the road and was pulled all the way to Tongliang District in Chongqing. The latter part is half true. After all, he is an adult in his 20s, and he is thoughtful. He had expected that he would be investigated for his whereabouts in the past few years, so he had repeatedly deliberated over the past few days and had made up the process impeccably. In addition, he still said that his mind was stimulated to lose part of his memory, and when he took notes, he sometimes understood and sometimes confused to play the edge ball on many details. Moreover, the investigators were happy for the reunion of their family. In addition, they saw many scars on his body and felt sympathy. They did not hold the mentality of interrogating criminals to make a record for him. After all, it was a mere formality. He managed to muddle through the part of the transcript.
When it came to providing blood for DNA comparison, it aroused great opposition from Wu Wenteng’s family, especially Hu Shuanghua’s words, which were once very fierce. The
child has already suffered so much physically and mentally, leaving an indelible shadow, so don’t use this cruel way to stimulate him again. At the same time, our family can’t accept any doubt. Will the parents of their children admit their mistakes?
Please don’t rub any more salt into our wounds!
The staff had no choice but to ask Deputy Director Zhu for instructions. Deputy Director Zhu also felt that the case had come to the end of some perfect procedures. Since the family members and I were very conflicted in a certain link, let’s put it aside. After all, we have done it on the basis of facts. DNA testing involves ethical issues, and the psychological pressure of the identified person is great. Since the family members and I have no objection, there is no need for us to insist too much. Forget it, don’t toss about, just do it like this!
The family sat in the van. Deputy Director Zhu stood in front of the window, looking at the car that had gone away. He breathed a long sigh of relief. The matter was over. In the evening, the news that they were welcomed back at the airport appeared on TV, and the general public showed great interest in this kind of documentary subject. The next day, the major newspapers also reported one after another, and the incident became a hot topic in the streets and lanes for a time. Day
three at noon.
City Public Security Bureau Criminal Police Brigade Office. Wei Zhen, the captain of the
criminal police, was sitting in his office, holding a missing person registration form and a newspaper in his hand, and was watching it carefully. He went to Jilin Province to investigate a case
a few days ago and just returned to work in the team this morning.
This incident caused a big battle, and he even heard about it in Jilin. As soon as he came back, he took the file and read it with great interest.
He has nearly 30 years of criminal investigation experience, has participated in the detection of numerous cases, and has analyzed numerous scene photos. His professional sensitivity makes him see at a glance that the child on the registration form is obviously different from Wu Wenteng in reality. The
first one is the mole at the corner of the mouth. Did he have cosmetic surgery to remove the mole when he was lost? This is obviously not reasonable. The child on the registration form is a flapping ear. In reality, Wu Wenteng’s two ears are obediently attached to the back of his head. The child is growing, and the face may change, but these lifelong features will certainly not change.
What’s wrong? Is everyone clumsy? Some people in our public security system may be eager to render meritorious service without paying attention to details, which is barely justified, but what about his family? I didn’t even see the obvious difference! This is incredible! Wei Zhen’s back oozed cold sweat, and his intuition told him that it was not right!
He hastened to find Deputy Director Zhu, who was in charge of the case. After listening to his doubts, Deputy Director Zhu was silent.
“What is your opinion now?” Deputy Director Zhu asked Wei Zhen.
“I suggest we check it again in detail.”
“But his family all recognized him, the report was issued, the media reported it, and now they’re investigating. Isn’t this a slap in the face?”. Deputy Director Zhu felt that some of the questions raised by Wei Zhen were very reasonable, but he was in charge of the overall work and had to consider more. Let’s
find a psychologist and ask his family for permission on the grounds of helping Wu Wen-teng with psychological counseling. In this way, they should not reject him. Besides, the child is confused and confused, and it should be good for him to get in touch with a psychologist. Deputy Director Zhu came up with a solution.
“Well, OK, I agree.” Wei Zhen nodded his head.
Two days later, Wei Zhen visited a psychology professor at a university and explained the purpose of his visit. The professor examined the case file in detail, listened to the doubts raised by Wei Zhen, and twisted his brows into a ball.
“Captain Wei, your doubts are indeed justified, and I am willing to help you.” On
the third day, Wei Zhen went to find Wu Dong and Hu Shuanghua. They heard that it was the psychological counseling and counseling services provided by the Public Security Bureau, and they readily agreed that Wei Zhen took Wu Wenteng away. Wei Zhen did not take Wu Wenteng to the Public Security Bureau, but took him to a quiet teahouse room, which was the professor’s suggestion.
The professor and Wu Wenteng chatted alone for about an hour. After Wu Wenteng left, Wei Zhen went into the private room and was about to ask the professor how he was. He was surprised by what he saw.
The professor’s face was pale and he was still in shock.
Wei Zhen quickly sat down beside him and asked what had happened. The professor took out his handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said slowly.
The professor is a well-known expert in psychology, and he is also very accomplished in linguistics. At the beginning,
Wu Wenteng was always nervous and cramped, and never liked to talk. Later, he gradually relaxed in his persuasive way of chatting, and tried to communicate with the professor.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, the professor, who had kept the case file in mind, was immediately clever and his hair stood up all over his body. There is a theory in
linguistics that if a person leaves his hometown before he becomes an adult, his accent will never reach the level of his mother tongue.
Wu Wenteng’s Northeastern dialect, which is neither native nor foreign, proves that he is absolutely not a child born in the northeast, which is an absolutely indisputable fact!
Moreover, in his confused words, the professor vaguely recognized that this should be the accent of the coastal areas of Guangdong Province or Hainan Province. This man is not Wu Wenteng! Although Wei Zhen had doubts, he was still surprised at the moment. After saying goodbye to the professor, he hurried back to report the matter to Deputy Director Zhu. Deputy Director
Zhu slumped back in his chair with mixed feelings. There is only one step between
showing your face and showing your eyes. Now you have lost a lot! But things have come to this point, the situation is already difficult to dismount. The most important thing is that everyone in their family does not agree to use the most authoritative DNA testing method to verify, which can not be forced from a legal point of view. What can I do? Let’s
slow down for a while and wait for things to cool down a little before we investigate. Now is the time of the storm, once there is any mistake, the situation is too ugly. Don’t put the matter aside on your side, but secretly investigate and collect materials. After a while we’ll continue to follow up on this matter, and we must get to the bottom of it! Deputy Director Zhu patted the table lightly with his hand, and the doubts and shame in his heart made him extremely uncomfortable.
“Yes!” Wei Zhen wisely withdrew from the director’s office.
Time passed day by day, and half a month later.
On this side of Wu Dong’s home, the surface is calm, everyone is harmonious, no one mentions the past, as if they want to put an end to the painful yesterday and say goodbye to it completely.
Brother Wu Bin and mother Hu Shuanghua also took good care of Wu Wenteng in life. They not only bought him a lot of new clothes, but also often cooked some delicious meals and told him that they were his favorite food before he left home. Wu Wenteng has been wandering outside for a long time, and he feels delicious when he sees any food. However, under the surface calm, there is an undercurrent surging. Apart from sitting together for a short meal, the rest of the family spent most of their time in their own rooms thinking about themselves, or having their own evil intentions.
Wu Dong looked at them together seemingly harmonious, the heart felt boundless chill, nest in the study of the sofa at night, the past scenes appeared in front of him. When
Wu Wenteng was 10 years old, his biological mother died in a traffic accident. People
around him advised him to take another step. A man without a wife is like a house without a beam. When he was in the prime of life, he also felt that he could not spend the rest of his life alone. Two years later, he took Hu Shuanghua into his home.
Wu Bin was brought over by Hu Shuanghua. Because Hu Shuanghua got married earlier, he was six years older than Wu Wenteng. He was the son of Hu Shuanghua and her ex-husband. His original name was Zhang Bin. Later, he changed his surname to Wu with his stepfather.
At the beginning, he considered Wu Wenteng’s young age and paid attention to it when choosing a spouse, hoping that his stepmother would treat him well. When he found that Hu Shuanghua alone took care of Wu Bin very healthy and lively, he immediately put down half of his worries. When
Hu Shuanghua was in contact with him, he also took good care of Wu Wenteng. Every time he came, he brought the child something to eat and play. He kept praising the child’s cleverness in front of Wu Dong and said that he liked the child very much.
So Wu Dong put down his worries and formally married Hu Shuanghua and became his second wife. Unexpectedly, in less than half a year, Hu Shuanghua’s true colors were revealed. She often spoke ill of Wu Wenteng in front of Wu Dong, and sometimes Wu Dong, who had looked at the leader’s face all day, could not help beating and scolding Wu Wenteng. How could the young Wu Wenteng be the opponent of the sophisticated Hu Shuanghua? Children can only cry alone at night with pillows in their arms, missing their mother who is far away in heaven.
Recalling that Wu Wenteng often found his pillow towel wet when he woke him up in the morning, Wu Dong could not help closing his eyes and feeling sad like a knife.
Wu Dong’s forbearance made Hu Shuanghua even worse. As long as there was a meat dish at every meal, it must be placed in front of his son Wu Bin. Wu Wenteng did not dare to reach out enough, so he could only drool greedily. As time went on, he grew thinner and weaker. Once Wu Wenteng wanted to eat some chili oil appetizer, Wu Dong asked Hu Shuanghua to do it, Hu Shuanghua actually poured raw soybean oil directly into the bowl of chili powder for Wu Wenteng to eat, and told him that chili oil was originally done like this! Seeing that Wu Wenteng refused to eat, Hu Shuanghua was furious, and Wu Dong was so exhausted that he did not know how to deal with it.
Evil spirits will eventually eat people. Finally, one day, Wu Dong, who had been on a business trip for three days, returned home. At eight or nine o’clock in the evening, he panicked when Wu Wenteng did not come back.
He asked Hu Shuanghua and Wu Bin where their children had gone, and they looked flustered and evasive. No matter how to ask, they are all about him, just said Wu Wenteng has not come back for two days.
A shadow shrouded in Wu Dong’s mind, he faintly felt that the event was not good, he was not at home these days, the child may have something to do.
He drove the unit’s car overnight to search the streets, railway stations and bus stations, and called Wu Wenteng’s classmate’s home phone in the phone book, but found nothing. At daybreak, as soon as he stepped into the house with his exhausted body, he saw Hu Shuanghua and Wu Binniang eating a sumptuous breakfast slowly, talking and laughing.
He managed to eat a few mouthfuls of breakfast and returned downstairs as if nothing had happened. He chatted with the guard and finally turned the conversation to the child.
“The day before yesterday, at noon, I saw his mother take him out and say hello to me when she passed by the door.”
At this moment, his hair stood on end and he understood something in his heart.
He sat there all day without food or water. This Niang two unexpectedly also did not come over to ask him, in his heart more affirmed own guess. What
am I supposed to do? Just when he wanted to report the case, an idea suppressed him.
Wu Dong is the director of a certain department in the Municipal Transportation Commission. Now it is the rising period of his career. A while ago, the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee talked to him and basically confirmed that he could be promoted to a deputy bureau-level cadre by the end of the year.
I have no special background relationship, all rely on many years as cattle and horses, conscientious, do all the work that others do not like to do, dislike hardship and tiredness. Now the hair is half white, isn’t it just for a future? This kind of scandal must not be exposed at this critical juncture! Otherwise, your career will be over.
Thinking over and over again, Wu Dong actually with years of patience in the organs and units, forcibly swallowed the bitter fruit, only to make a missing report of Wu Wenteng’s unknown whereabouts.
I hope my child can understand my difficulty and forgive his cowardice.
Half a year later, he was successfully promoted to the deputy Bureau level, and a year later, he used his connections to help Wu Bin get a driving job in the telecommunications Bureau. The life of the family of three seems to be getting better and better. From then on,
Wu Dong slept with the devil, and he often woke up from his dreams and was soaked to the skin. He dreamed that his son Wu Wenteng, who should have been in heaven, looked at him helplessly and wept, and his heart was filled with shame and regret. But when he woke up in the morning, he still went to work as usual in his old clothes, sitting in the seat of the deputy director, unable to extricate himself.
Yes, he was more afraid of losing everything in front of him.
Of course, he had a hard time these years. Hu Shuanghua never cared about him. Even if he was sick, he would go to the kitchen to eat a bowl of noodles by himself. Hu Shuanghua only had his son Wu Bin in his eyes. When he had a little opinion about Wu Bin, she made a lot of noise and kept going all night.
Wu Dong, who has swallowed his pride, is much older than his peers. He is only in his fifties, but he looks like he is in his seventies. In fact, his heart is older, as old as a weathered stone, hard and broken at a touch.
The child who claimed to be Wu Wenteng suddenly appeared, and Wu Dongben turned pale with fright. At the first sight of the child, he knew that it was definitely not his own son. But he did not dare to break out, did not dare to expose, because he was afraid that once the past was brought up again, it would turn out that Wu Wenteng was missing. Now the means of criminal investigation are changing with each passing day, which is quite different from a few years ago. Once the truth is found out, then these years. No, this life’s work is all over. I would have stayed up for a few more years and then retired to the second line two years ahead of schedule. I would have retired with the salary of a Bureau officer, and my old age would have been settled. This is the time to travel a hundred miles and half ninety, must not make a mistake ah. After thinking about it, he decided to continue to hold back this time. Hu Shuanghua and Wu Bin
over there had the same idea, and they were also trembling when they saw the momentum of the matter in front of them. The matter of Wu Wenteng’s disappearance
four years ago had already entered the freezing period, and when the dust settled, no one mentioned it. Their hearts had just been put down, and now they were hanging in their throats. If it gets out, and the police bring back a previous missing person’s case, they’re at stake.
Faced with such a risk, they would rather recognize the fake Wu Wenteng in front of them and give him something to eat and drink. Now the family conditions are not bad, and they don’t care about his food. It’s better than being exposed!
But Wu Bin still did not give up. One night, he secretly gave Hu Shuanghua an idea. Mom, when I went to pick up this kid, he looked a little silly, and his brain didn’t seem to be very bright. At that time, I thought that you could just give him a huge life insurance in the name of the guardian.
Hu Shuanghua trembled all over, and when she saw her son’s mysterious eyes, she understood what he wanted to do.
“You have to wait for this storm to pass. Now everyone is watching closely. If you buy insurance at this time, I’m afraid..”
Both of them smiled knowingly, and their eyes showed evil and cold light at the same time. Wu Wenteng is also on pins and needles here. These days, he feels more and more that something is wrong.
He recalled that the first time Wu Bin saw him, he had carried a heavy photo album all the way with him and taught himself to recognize his relatives tirelessly, which was really unusual! How did he know in advance that I lost my memory?
These days he knew that Hu Shuanghua was his stepmother, and that his caring brother was not his own brother. Recalling the time spent with them these days, their expressions always seemed to be smiling, and he was in a constant state of anxiety.
Thinking of his father’s cold eyes from beginning to end, he had not said a serious word to himself for more than half a month. He should know that he is not the real Wu Wenteng, but why does he refuse to say it?
These doubts were knotted up in his mind, and he felt more and more frightened.
Yes, they all knew from the beginning that I was not Wu Wenteng, and the family was all faking it!
But why would they do that?
He racked his brain for the answer and finally seemed to understand something.
I was worried that Wu Wenteng would never come back. He is no longer alive, so his family will make a mistake and admit that I am him, so what is the purpose of doing so?
The more you try to hide it, the more you try to cover it up. They did it because they knew Wu Wenteng was dead, so why did they report it as missing? Was Wu Wenteng killed by this family? They accept that I just want to cover up the fact that the real Wu Wenteng is no longer alive?
No, I have to get out of here. It’s too dangerous!
But then he hesitated again, how to run? Where to run?
Their photos have been published on TV and newspapers, and even people in Hainan Island may see them on the Internet in the near future. Now these things are like wanted posters hanging over their heads, and their body characteristics are so obvious, before the absconding is because they are a nobody, it is extremely easy to hide, now their photos are everywhere, it is too easy to catch themselves according to the map.
He pulled out the missing person’s register, which had become crumpled after days of rubbing, but the picture of the child on it was still legible.
He tried to tear it off, but as soon as he tried, he stopped. Under
the moonlight, the child’s slightly melancholy eyes in the photo seemed to be looking at him bitterly. He touched it gently with his hand, as if he was gradually merging with Wu Wenteng in the photo. Yeah, he’s an outcast of fate, and I.. The same. Maybe we are the same person, living in a parallel world, but reaching the same goal by different routes.
Wu Wenteng, you are gone, and now I am living in this world for you. Please help me greet my parents in heaven, they will be happy to see you, they will love you, because you look like me. I also help you in the world-alas, according to my present situation, it seems that it is easier to help you live. At dinner, Wu Dong took advantage of the rare time for the family to sit together and made a decision to let Wu Wenteng go to the middle school for the children of the aluminum factory.
Hu Shuanghua stared at her husband with approving eyes, thinking that the decision was so brilliant that he and his son felt unable to hold back these days, and that they had never done so much to Wu Wenteng himself in the past.
Only Wu Wenteng was silent. Go to junior high school at
your own age? But he could not find a suitable reason to refuse, so he had to bow his head to eat and express his reluctance in silence.
“Then it’s settled.” Of course, Wu Dong saw that he was not happy, but at the moment he was certainly too lazy to pay attention to it. I’m not here to ask your permission! It’s not easy to come up with a safer way, but don’t create complications.
Wen Teng, the middle school for the children of the aluminum factory is a key school in the district, and the quality of teaching is also quite good. In order to make you feel at ease, I even asked someone to set up a residence for you. It’s very difficult to live and study here. Their school’s dormitories are already full, and they have to squeeze other people out–you have to cherish this opportunity! Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Hu Shuanghua, who was smiling.
He was also quite satisfied, only to find that it was the first time he had said so much to the child since he entered the house.
“Oh, yes,” he suddenly wanted to take this achievement a step further. “Aluminum Middle School is far away from home, and the school has one day off a week. In order not to delay your studies, and to minimize the time you spend running back and forth on the road, you can live there when you have a rest. Shuanghua, don’t you have a welfare house in the compound of the aluminum factory? It’s useless to leave it empty all the time. Let Wen Teng go and live there.
He glanced at Hu Shuanghua again, thinking that you had laughed like that just now, but now you can’t laugh like that?
Unexpectedly, he was surprised to find that Hu Shuanghua’s face changed greatly, as ugly as death.
The next morning, after Wu Dong left for work, Wu Bin hurried into his mother’s room and closed the door.
“Mom, look at you. Your expression was so unnatural last night.”
“I didn’t know the old man would suddenly bring up the house. What should I do now?”
“Just say it’s rented out.”
Do you think he’s stupid? It’s rented out. It’s been years. Where’s the money?
“That’s right. Or should I say I lent it to a friend?”
That’s even worse! I know him. The more you stop him, the more he suspects that something is wrong. The old man must go to see it. A scholar has a lot of ideas. He might suspect that I sold the house behind his back and gave you the money.
“What can I do..” Wu Bin rubbed his hands.
If you really can’t, go. What can he, a dull little boy, find? Didn’t we clean up pretty well at the beginning?
“Well, to be on the safe side, I’ll check it again after work in the evening. You give me the key.” Two days before the start of
school, Wu Bin sent Wu Wenteng to the house outside the aluminum company.
This is a one-room house.
Lin Sen sat quietly on the sofa, and the night gradually fell.
He was relieved, too. It was too depressing to be
with that family, and there was a kind of inexplicable fear in the air all the time, as if there were eyes staring at me everywhere. Although it is deserted
here, it is very quiet. In the watery night, the moonlight pours down, just like his mother’s gentle eyes on his face. Mother’s face appeared again in the sky, and her father smiled lovingly and honestly beside her. Then there is a face behind, he looked carefully, is Wu Wenteng!
He was looking at himself with his still bitter eyes. When
a cool breeze blew, he could not help glancing at the room, and somehow he always felt gloomy.
As soon as he was cold, he had the desire to urinate, and then he felt uncomfortable in his stomach, so he hurried into the toilet and squatted down. He was still thinking that it was not safe to live on his own and eat their food every day. I had a cramp in my stomach. Maybe I really ate something dirty. Bored, he squatted and looked around.
Eyes swept a circle, he was about to get up, hey? Wait He didn’t pay much attention to it when he glanced at it
just now, but he felt as if he had seen something unusual. Look
carefully again, there are some speckled things at the tile seams near the ground. When he was working
in a restaurant, he hid in the toilet and burned his fingers with oxalic acid. The pain made him shake his hands, and some blood was thrown on the walls and cracks in the walls. He was afraid that the restaurant owner would find out and wipe it off, but when he went to the toilet every other day, he could still see some blood spots in the cracks of the wall, but they had dried up and changed color.
In retrospect, isn’t this the dried blood that you see now?
He couldn’t help but get excited and quickly pulled up his pants and ran out of the toilet. He was stunned for a long time. Damn, he forgot to wipe his ass!
On the third day, when he came out of school, he was even more upset.
This is so funny! I’m in my 20s, and I’m not really going to spend a few years here with middle school students, am I? Then I might as well go to the restaurant to work illegally!
Anyway, no one is staring at me now. I still have the living expenses given by Wu Bingang in my hand. I’ll buy a ticket and run away. Not good, this family obviously has a ghost in their heart, or I hit them hard and then go? So I’ll have money to find a place to hide for a while. They are always muttering in the room, not knowing whether they are studying how to deal with themselves and whether blackmailing them is not worth the loss? Don’t put your life on the line.
“Wu Wenteng.”
Yeah, it’s calling me. He was stunned for a moment before he realized it. Following the sound, I saw a jeep parked on the side of the road, and Wei Zhen poked half of his head out of it.
No, I haven’t formed a conditioned reflex to the name.
Hello, Captain Wei, this.. What a coincidence.
“It’s no coincidence. I’ve been waiting for you here for most of the day.” Wei Zhen yawned.
You.. How did you know I was here? He suddenly became nervous. Who said no one was staring at me? Thinking that he had not responded to his greeting just now, he began to stammer. Just
make a phone call and ask Wu Tung. Do you have a minute? I want to talk to you about something.
It looks like an inquiry, but it’s actually an order. What can I do? He looked around helplessly and got into Wei Zhen’s car.
The car drove to a quiet place and stopped. He looked at the police cap placed under the front windshield and suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.
In the days when he was tired of running around, it used to be something he avoided with all his strength. But now looking at the shining national emblem above, as well as the heroic and strong Wei Zhen around him, he suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of security. He turned his head and saw Wei Zhen staring at him with his eagle-sharp eyes, slowly spitting out a sentence that sounded like thunder in his ears.
“Who are you?”
Lin Sen trembled slightly.
Wei Zhen observed quietly and could see that he was struggling: “Do you know there is a thing called DNA testing?”
It’s another big hit.
“Or will you hear me out and then decide whether to tell me?” Lin Sen, who
was extremely entangled, seemed to see that the other side was charging but suddenly sounded the retreat, and he nodded subconsciously in urgent need of calming his mood.
Wei Zhen in the mind a bright, dark degree Chen Cang works! That’s the default.
Lin Sen nodded and immediately regretted it. It’s over! In the end, I caught his way. Because Wu Wenteng originally is his present identity, does not need to prove again additionally, oneself this nod, was does not hit confesses.
Son, before I talk about this, I’ll give you a reassuring pill. Our purpose is not you, at best, you just use other people’s identity, which is not even written into the Criminal Law. Have you ever heard of the Resident Identity Card Act? Adults should be fined a few hundred yuan in this case. As for you, the most you can do is to criticize and educate. Wei Zhen looked at his face and said, “What I want to find out is the whereabouts of the real Wu Wen-teng.”. If you always replace this identity and hinder our law enforcement, you will have to bear the corresponding legal responsibility in the future. What do you think your chances are after being targeted by the police? Lin Sen seems to have come to the crossroads of life, and now he must make a choice.
There was no doubt that I was being targeted and that the family was being targeted.
Death resistance must be a common sinking, even their own can see that the family has a problem, not to mention the eyes of the captain in front of the torch? And even if they can get through it, all they get is to go to junior high school at the age of 24 and live in fear in that shabby cabin.
A few days ago, he took the opportunity to go out and slipped into the Internet bar. He searched his case on the computer, but he couldn’t find any information on the Internet. Searched again the keyword such as self-defense, excessive defense, the view is different. But the conclusion is that he should not be sentenced to death in this matter, and if there are circumstances of surrender, he may be treated leniently. How lenient is leniency?
Or. Can I make a condition? But can I trust him? If you promise me and then don’t admit it, it will be very bad.
He thought for a long time and finally made up his mind.
“Uncle Wei, I want two conditions from you.”
Hearing him call himself “Uncle Wei” instead of “Captain Wei,” Wei Zhen’s heart heats up. In the final analysis, he is just a child! I’m trying to figure out if my mind is a little too heavy. Good! Tell me about it.
See Wei Zhen’s eyes reveal a trace of warmth, Lin Sen heart secretly pleased, playing the emotional card works!
This is to turn back some of the situation. “The first condition is that I need you to provide one thing.” After Wu Bin sent him the day before yesterday, he did not come again. Yesterday, Lin Sen checked a lot of information in the Internet bar. “Biological Specimen Analyzer.”
“What do you want that for?” Wei Zhen stared at him, but then the tiger body shook, the child is found something?
“Or I’ll give you something first, and you can go back and test it, and then decide whether to give it to me or not?”
Looking at Wei Zhen hesitantly taking the small plastic bag with the wall, Lin Sen looked away, afraid that his proud appearance would be seen by him.
If you give me multiple choice questions, I will be your army now!
A day later, here again, Wei Zhen pulled out something like a flashlight. The thing
you want is really not available. It’s only available in Shenyang, but you have to borrow it, and the procedure is troublesome. But our forensic doctor has made a simple one for you temporarily. This is an ultraviolet flashlight for checking banknotes. It’s coated with a kind of fluorescamine, which can also show old blood. He stretched out half of his hand and drew it back. “Where did you get that piece of wall?” The result of
forensic identification was human blood, which made Wei Zhen extremely excited.
“Uncle Wei, you’ll know when the time comes. Don’t forget there’s another condition.” Lin Sen took the flashlight and got out of the car.
Looking at his back, Wei Zhen was a little angry and bumped up. Damn, I was led by the nose by a child. With the flashlight turned on, the horrible scene finally appeared. Under the
faint blue fluorescence, splashing spots can be seen everywhere on the walls, and there are large traces of liquid smearing on the ground. He turned off the flashlight, and the toilet was instantly restored to its original appearance, which was exactly the same as usual. The moment he
turned off the flashlight was the moment when Lin Sen’s hair stood on end, because there was an invisible murder hidden under the calm. His hair stood on end.
“Looks like this toilet doesn’t work.” He talked to himself.
Seeing that the flashlight still had electricity, he took it everywhere in the room, and soon found traces of similar liquid being wiped on the saw in the toolbox. On closer inspection, there seems to be some tiny residue like something on the sawtooth. He shivered again, did not dare to touch it, and quickly closed the toolbox.
He felt sad that the child, who looked exactly like himself, should really be dead and die miserably.
“Dang Dang Dang.” Someone knocks at the door.
He quickly shoved the flashlight into his pants pocket. “Who?”
“Me, your brother.” It’s Wu Bin.
“What do you think I brought you?” Wu Bin came in with a smile on his face and took out something like a document and handed it to Lin Sen.
“I need you to sign this.” He took out his pen and handed it to Lin Sen.
“This is..”
“Mom bought you a life insurance policy. You have to sign it before it takes effect.”
Lin Sen’s head buzzed, “*** your uncle, can’t you hold back so soon?”? How short of money are you? Why did you
buy him? The school bought it for us, so we don’t have to spend any more money. He subconsciously pushed the thing back, knowing that the light pieces of paper were his own life!
Wu Bin’s face twitched, and he could see that he was restrained, but he was obviously unhappy. It’s for your own good, too. The little bit of insurance at school isn’t even enough. You have been away from home for so many years, and your family has spent a lot of money to find you. Now you can’t afford to take too much risk. We have paid the insurance premium, and you just sign it. Why are you still dilly-dallying? It’s not easy for Mom and Dad.
Lin Sen wanted to look at the regulations in detail, and Wu Bin was even more impatient. At what level of education can you understand? Insurance companies have a lot of rules and regulations! If you don’t see a word clearly, they won’t admit it when the claim is settled, and we will close it for you. If you look at it this way, you won’t be able to finish it in a month. Hurry up, I have something to do. Then he handed the pen to Lin Sen.
The other side first occupied the moral high ground, and then criticized his own level is not good, is to push him into a corner. Let’s get rid of him first. At least I won’t disappear mysteriously, because the insurance company won’t admit it. But I’ll have to be more careful in the future, and he said he would teach me how to swim. Now that I think about his malicious smile, I don’t think I’ve got any good farts! As soon as Lin Sen gritted his teeth, he took the pen and signed “Ten..” He stopped his pen. Oh, no, he was so angry that he subconsciously wanted to sign his original name!
I’ll tell you what. You can’t even write Wu characters, and you still look at the regulations for your level of education? You write again, don’t write side by side, start another line at the bottom.. Yes, down there.
Perhaps Wu Bin is now anxious to go back and hand in the contract, and in addition, he is blinded by profit, and he has not considered what the cross is going on at all; or perhaps what he wants is just a result-it will be OK if Wu Wenteng’s name finally appears on the contract.
“I’ve been busy these two days. In a couple of days, I’ll take you swimming and grilling fish.” Before going out, Wu Bin resumed his smiling appearance.
“Good.” Shit! It doesn’t necessarily mean that someone will drown in the water!
Lin Sen closed the door and leaned heavily against it.
From now on, no time or place is safe. The shadow of
death is like a shadow.
Hold on tight, he thought.
“Are these your findings?” The first time Wei Zhen came to this house, he also felt gloomy. Lin Sen took him to the toilet with a flashlight and showed him the saw. He was surprised and happy for a moment, and finally made a little progress, but then he looked sad again.
“Still not.” Is there blood in the
toilet and the saw? How could there be so much blood under normal circumstances? Even human tissue has fingerprints on the
saw, so the suspect has to admit it. Otherwise, who doesn’t have a saw? That thing is a tool, and it’s normal for anyone to take it. Even if the toilet tests positive for human blood, it still can’t prove who did it. Do you understand? Wei Zhen said.
You probably don’t understand the procedures of our case, and now I highly suspect that this is the scene of a murder, and it is very likely that the body was dismembered. But at present, what you have is only material evidence. Without witnesses and confessions, it is still useless. The procuratorate will not agree to file a case.
“What if I had a way to get you a witness and a statement?”
“What?” Wei Zhen was happy again, but what appeared on his face immediately was anger. These days, I was fooled by this little bastard. I was happy for a while and disappointed for a while. I was so angry that I almost died.
“Uncle Wei, I’m going to say the second condition now.”
Wu Bin was very happy these two days, and he also went to the 4S shop of Audi.
“I’ll buy this one in a few days. It’s the same model as the one I drive at work. In the future, the maintenance and replacement of parts will be included in the account of the public car.”
I’m a genius. Thinking of this, he wanted to laugh again, and his cell phone rang suddenly.
“Brother, it’s me. Can you come over?”
Hmm? What’s going on? Can I help you? Putting down the phone, Wu Bin’s heart was in his throat.
Did he find something? Absolutely impossible, repeated cleaning, cleaning many times, and after so many years, before he moved in, I also reviewed, should be foolproof ah!
The deputy director wanted to use the car, but he blocked it. He said that he had eaten something bad and had abdominal pain, so he had to go to the hospital immediately. In less than half an hour, he rushed over.
As soon as he entered the door, he smelled a strange smell, although not strong, but faintly like a nail attached to the bone around the nasal cavity, lasting for a long time.
Wu Wenteng took him to the toilet and pointed to something on the ground and told him the whole story.
Wu Wenteng said that he spent little time in the room, so the toilet was naturally not used much, but when he got up this morning, he found that it was blocked. He found someone from the small advertisement posted in the corridor to dredge it. As a result, the machine turned for a while and some things like bones came up. He felt very afraid, so he called his brother to come and see.
Wu Bin squatted down, endured nausea and looked at it carefully, then fiddled with a stick, and saw something like half of a child’s foot, with two things on it that seemed to be toes. These objects have been in a semi-dissolved state due to long-term immersion. There are some very interesting cases in
criminal psychology: when seeing an unknown object, the observer will generally make up for it according to his own experience. For example, once he killed a chicken, he would naturally guess what part of the chicken’s skeleton it was? And Wu Bin, the first thing he thought of was. He felt his back covered with cold sweat and his scalp exploding. After he casually found some excuses to prevaricate Wu Wenteng, he went home out of his mind and fell into bed.
When he told Hu Shuanghua about it, she was shocked and could not believe it. Because the cleaning of the scene was mainly done by her, she admitted that she had always been careful, and it was impossible for her to make such a big mistake.
Perhaps with evil intentions, perhaps prompted by curiosity, after several days of repeated suffering, Wu Bin told Hu Shuanghua to go and see if there were any missing parts, in order to feel at ease. Hu Shuanghua also devilishly nodded in agreement. Late
one night, an Audi car drove out of the community and headed for Dahe Town in the suburbs.
Forty minutes later, the car drove off the county road and continued on a bumpy dirt road. The bright xenon headlights flickered on and off the dark road ahead with the shaking of the car body.
The road was so dark and the Audi’s chassis was so low that it wasn’t much faster than walking. About fifteen minutes later, the Audi stopped at the edge of a field that had seemed deserted for years. It was Wu Bin who got out of the car. He opened the trunk and took out a shovel and a pick.
Wu Bin did not turn off the engine and wandered around in the field by the light of the headlights, as if looking for a place. After a while, he seemed to find it and began to dig with a shovel. In the
open field, the wind is blowing, like crying, like complaining. Not a farm worker after all. His movements were slow and clumsy. After digging for twenty minutes, Wu Bin began to squat down and put things one by one with his hands.
“Don’t move!” Suddenly there was a thunderclap in the silent field, and several bright and dazzling flashlight beams were instantly focused on Wu Bin’s face.
Under the strong light, his eyes were blank and he could not see anything.
After two days of interrogation, seeing that his son Wu Bin had already confessed, and that he had no way to put up a desperate fight, Hu Shuanghua finally opened his mouth. At about two o’clock
that afternoon, Hu Shuanghua took Wu Wenteng to the dilapidated house. In the hot weather, she deliberately slowed down and did not buy water for her children along the way. After entering the room, she handed Wu Wenteng a bottle of juice.
The kind-hearted and innocent Wu Wenteng was not familiar with the world, and his thirst was unbearable, so he took over and drank most of the bottle without thinking. In
this bottle of fruit juice drink, Wu Bin, who had just left, had been mixed with colorless and tasteless fluoroacetamide, a highly toxic rodenticide, which could hardly be cured.
She quietly looked at the child who had fallen to the ground twitching and foaming at the mouth, with a grim smile on her lips.
Then Wu Bin returned, and the mother and son had a clear division of labor. Hu Shuanghua was responsible for cleaning the vomit and washing the toilet, while Wu Bin used saws and axes to dismember the child’s body in the toilet and put it into a bag. He doesn’t know anything about anatomy or the structure of the human body. He just slashes and saws. No wonder he was stunned when he found the bone. As the child was small and thin, the work was done quickly. Listening to her calm statement of these frightening crimes, the old criminal policeman in charge of interrogation, even though he had countless experiences, was extremely shocked, and the policewoman who made the statement shed tears on the spot.
What kind of woman can be so calm after such a cold-blooded and cruel killing of a young and helpless child.
Now the witnesses, material evidence and confessions are all available, and the irrefutable evidence is like a mountain, waiting for the mother and son to be severely punished by law.
“Wu Wen-teng, oh no, I’m going to call you Lin Sen.” In the office, Wei Zhen looked at Lin Sen sitting beside him. “I have to say that your idea is really brilliant, but the imitation bone took a lot of effort from our forensic doctor.”
The two of them smiled at each other.
Your second condition has also been fulfilled. We have contacted the Sanya police. The man you stabbed didn’t die. He just had a hemopneumothorax. He was rescued in the hospital later.
Lin Sen breathed a long sigh of relief.
“But you still have to bear legal responsibility. After all, you’ve hurt someone, and it’s a serious injury.” Wei Zhen saw that Lin Sen’s reaction was not intense, and his heart relaxed a lot. Fortunately, the owner of the restaurant did his best to testify for you, and the police considered your age at the time, and that you had performed a major meritorious service in the case of Wu Wen-teng, so you should be exempted from criminal responsibility. As for civil compensation, we can provide you with free legal aid. “Thank you, Uncle Wei.”
Lin Sen’s eyes showed tears, as if after a long night of suffering, finally
saw the dawn. “Fate is fair after all..”
Wei Zhen was silent for a long time. He patted Lin Sen on the shoulder.
“There is no such thing as fate. Everything is just a test, compensation, or punishment
.” A cemetery in
the outer suburbs.
Wu Tung placed a bunch of flowers in front of his son’s tomb. The inscription on the tombstone reads “Tomb of
my beloved son Wu Wen-teng,” and
the inscription reads “Love you forever and miss your father Wu Tung.”.
He turned and hobbled away, his lonely figure gradually becoming blurred. The inscription on the back of
the tombstone reads:
Thank you for your company
, but unfortunately I have nothing
to exchange.
