EP2. The Temptation of Death Story (2)
2. Lost memory
Seeing that Lina calmed down, Tongxin’s mother laughed easily: “The car that takes Tongxin to be cremated will not come until noon. Let’s go inside and drink some tea first.” Everyone was very satisfied with Tongxin’s mother’s suggestion and discussed the tea in a low voice. The contents are moving towards inner chapters one after another. Fu Jun and Lina were about to go in with everyone, but they were stopped by someone.
“Two classmates from Beiling High School, please stay!” a bearded policeman shouted.
Fu Jun and Lina stopped, but did not dare to look back immediately, fearing that their pale faces and trembling lips would reveal the secrets in their hearts.
Tongxin’s mother quickly came to the policeman, bowed slightly, pointed to the inner hall and extended an invitation: “Mr. Policeman is really caring, and you are here to see Tongxin off. Please come to the inner hall for refreshments.”
The bearded policeman frowned and said roughly, “We are here to take away the body today .”
Tongxin’s mother was stunned for a moment, then shook her head desperately after realizing it: “No, absolutely not. Tongxin will be sent for cremation in the afternoon, how can you take the body away? Then the funeral can’t be carried out?”
The bearded policeman took out a warrant from his pocket. The bright red seal on it made the childlike mother speechless. She ran to her daughter’s body and cried: “Childlike innocence, poor child, his face was broken, and now he has to be cut into pieces!” The elders who were delayed in enjoying tea also complained: “Since it has been judged that it is Why do you commit suicide and do such unnecessary things?”
A young policeman hurriedly explained to the dissatisfied relatives and friends of the deceased : “We suspect that there were other people on the rooftop before Tong Xin fell from the building. Tong Xin may not have committed suicide , but was murdered.”
“Didn’t Tongxin commit suicide because he was bullied at school ?” Tongxin’s mother turned pale and excitedly grabbed the young policeman and asked, “Who killed Tongxin? Who killed my daughter?”
“The suicide note found at the scene was indeed left by Tong Xin. According to the confessions of Beiling High School students, we once thought that Tong Xin chose to commit suicide because of being bullied.” The bearded policeman said, turning to Fu Jun and Lina with a smile. He approached their pale faces without a smile and said, “Those students may not know Tongxin well enough. Since you two are here to attend the funeral , you must know Tongxin better than anyone else. Can you recall carefully and tell me in detail everything that happened in school before Tongxin’s death?” Something?”
The bearded policeman asked the young policeman to send Tongxin’s body for autopsy, while he swaggered into the inner hall and enjoyed tea while listening to Fu Jun and Lina reviewing Tongxin’s affairs at school .
Fu Jun and Lina met in their first year of high school and then in their second year of high school. Fu Jun scratched his head and smiled helplessly: “I can’t remember clearly what happened in my first year of high school. Anyway, my childlike innocence has always been rejected by others.”
“Oh? Why don’t you protect her and be her knight?” The bearded policeman stuffed a whole piece of pastry into his mouth and made an inarticulate sound while chewing.
Fu Jun raised his eyebrows unhappily, glanced at his childlike mother who was busy entertaining other guests, and explained in a low voice: “Lina and I came to the funeral out of sympathy. In order not to make the mother sad, we complied with her wish, claiming to be the best friend of childlike innocence.”
“Then the memory of childlike innocence is just the same between you and other students? No, if you didn’t participate in the bullying of childlike innocence, you might know less about childlike innocence than other students, right?” The bearded policeman took a big sip of green tea. , spoke clearly, but it shocked Lina. He turned to Lina keenly, “Where’s Lina, have you ever chatted with your childlike innocence? Don’t all girls like to talk about their favorite boys and favorite foods? Are you talking about something?” Seeing Lina’s panicked expression, her face getting uglier and uglier, the bearded policeman put away his smile and asked seriously, “Where were you and what were you doing between seven and seven-thirty on the night when Childlike Heart fell?”
Lina stared in horror and opened her mouth wide but couldn’t make a sound. Fu Jun reminded anxiously: “Why do you have so little memory? Didn’t we go to Yipin Cake Shop? Your favorite blueberry cake is there.” Then he He calmly met the sharp gaze of the bearded policeman, “Do you want an alibi? The clerk of Yipin store should remember us, because the blueberry cake was just sold out, so we were waiting there for the cake chef to make it on the spot. When we bought the cake and left, everyone It’s seven o’clock.”
Blueberry cake? The scene of that evening emerged in Lina’s mind. Childlike innocence lost her temper as usual and willfully asked to eat the blueberry cake from Yipidian. The blueberries on the cake fell to the ground, and blood dripped on the smooth cream. The moonlight made the childlike smile look particularly scary, as if it was approaching like a devil. The sweet scent of blueberry cake and blood filled the air, banishing all memories. Lina pulled her hair uncomfortably and shook her head desperately: “I can’t remember, I can’t remember anything, about childlike innocence, about that night. ”
The childlike mother came over with the freshly cut cake, placed the cake in front of the bearded policeman, sat down next to Lina, put her arms around her, and woke up the bearded policeman with a dissatisfied tone: “These two children are childlike friends. , it’s already very painful now, please don’t stimulate them any more and force them to recall their childlike innocence.”
“Then please tell me what kind of child Tongxin is.” The bearded policeman ate the cake with butter all over his beard. As he ate, he asked questions to Tongxin’s mother.
The childlike mother smiled awkwardly: “I don’t know, that child never tells me anything.”
The bearded policeman nodded and did not continue to ask. He stood up and walked directly to the photo of Tongxin. He stared at the girl in the photo for a long time and said to himself: “She smiled so happily, as if she had seen heaven.” Wan turned to Tongxin’s mother, “Tomorrow I will come with a search warrant to take away Tongxin’s belongings, especially books, notebooks, diaries and the like.”
Looking at the back of the bearded policeman walking away, Fu Jun and Lina were not sure what he noticed, but the childlike innocence in the photo was smiling proudly. She disappeared, and her wish finally came true, but it left an indelible memory scar in everyone’s heart.
