When he returned to the ward, he was surprised to see that someone was already sitting there, talking to his grandmother, He Xiaomei.
"Oh … You're back."
The person who was sitting there was none other than Ma Yiran. Ma Houde turned around and smiled, "I'm a little worried about Granny He, so I came to have a look."
At this time, He Xiaomei nodded and said kindly, "Jiahui, this Mr. Ma is really a good person. He is very considerate."
"Is … is that so?" He nodded. "Grandma, take a rest first. I have something to discuss with him."
As he spoke, he signaled for Ma Houde to come out.
The two of them walked down the corridor away from the ward. He opened his mouth and said, "Officer, didn't I tell you to let me be alone for a while? You … Don't bother me anymore. "
Ma Yili said, "I'm just concerned about your health. Can't I?"
He stamped his feet and took a deep breath. "Officer Ma, if you're really here to visit a patient, I welcome you. But if you're here because of my mom … that woman, please go back. "
Ma Houde narrowed his eyes and nodded, "Well, I won't persuade you for the time being. Take good care of your grandma. Go back. "
He sighed, nodded and turned to leave.
"Wait, you dropped something." Ma Houde suddenly shouted.
He was stunned for a moment before he turned around. Ma Houde picked up a medicine bottle from the ground and stretched out his hand, "You dropped your medicine."
"It's not mine." He just glanced at it casually and didn't pay attention to it, "Maybe the nurse dropped it."
"It's really not yours?" Ma Houde suddenly asked again.
He seemed to be impatient, "I'm fine. It's not painful. I don't need to take medicine, okay?"
Ma Houde patted his forehead as if he suddenly realized something, "I remember now, this is indeed not your medicine. I borrowed it from the doctor … But, do you know who this medicine is for? "
"How do I know so much?"
"It's for Liu Jiahui …" Ma Houde narrowed his eyes, "It's for yourself. How can you forget it? It's really strange. Am I right? "
He seemed to remember something, and his face changed dramatically. He lowered his head, "I don't know what you're talking about … You, don't come to me again!"
With that, he quickly turned around and left.
Ma Houde didn't chase him this time, but shouted, "Gu Jiajie, you're Gu Jiajie, right? The one who jumped down from your house that day was Liu Jiahui … your brother, right? "
He suddenly turned around!
It was hard to hide the shock and panic on his face.
Ma Houde sighed in his heart when he saw the man stopped and didn't know what to do. He walked towards him slowly, "Before you came back, I've asked a doctor here about your condition. I already know Liu Jiahui's condition … Now science and technology are very advanced. We only need to check the body lying in the coroner's office to know whether he was sick or not … And you, we only need to do a check to know whether you're sick or not. "
He was forced to retreat step by step.
Ma Houde lowered his voice and said quickly, "Why did Liu Jiahui die downstairs? Why are you here? What did the two of you do? Tell me! Liu Jiahui's death, is it because of you? "
"No, no! Don't come here … Don't come here … Don't! "
"If you don't tell me, then I'll ask your grandmother to see if she knows about this matter." Ma Houde still had a sullen face … He used some of the despicable adults to make this child yield.
He didn't really want to ask He Xiaomei anything, he just wanted to break this child's psychological defense.
Although it was dirty, there was nothing he could do about it.
"Don't! Don't tell grandmother about this matter! I beg you, don't! " He immediately begged, "If Grandma finds out … what Big Brother did will be in vain."
"You … what did you do?" Ma Houde frowned.
He … Gu Jiajie took a deep breath and said with a bitter smile, "I don't know … I don't know why I agreed at that time. It's too late to regret now."
Gu Jiajie looked at Ma Houde and said with difficulty, "Two months ago, I came here to see a doctor and accidentally met someone who looked like me."
"He was Liu Jiahui, your brother?"
Gu Jiajie nodded, "I didn't expect that I would see my brother one day. Because I heard from my mother that my brother was drowned when he was a child … Later, I recognized my brother and then I knew what had happened that year. "
Sitting on the stool in the corridor, Gu Jiajie covered his face with his hands and said what had happened in the past two months bit by bit.
"Officer, you should know that my father often beat me in private, right?"
"Yes, Gu Feng did admit it."
Gu Jiajie smiled bitterly, "I don't know why, but I didn't want to tell my mother about it … My father … Gu Feng always beat me in private, but in my eyes, there was no difference between my mother and him. She also forced me to do it … "
He grabbed his collar and said painfully, "Sometimes, sometimes I even felt that I couldn't breathe. I wanted to leave this family, I wanted to leave these two people … I talked a lot with my brother after we separated. He knew my situation, so he suddenly told me that it was better to let him replace me. Anyway, we didn't look different. "
"You mean … you and Liu Jiahui have already exchanged identities?" Ma Houde was surprised.
"Not often." Gu Jiajie shook his head, "Usually, only when my father came back that day, we would exchange identities."
Ma Houde nodded, "No wonder Gu Feng said that you suddenly resisted when he beat you last time … It was actually your brother who resisted, right?"
Gu Jiajie nodded and sighed deeply, resting his head on the wall behind the chair, "I'm actually a very cowardly person. Although I didn't experience it personally, after I saw my brother's wound … I suddenly didn't want to go back to that family. At this time, my brother suddenly looked at me, and he said … "
"What did he say?"
Gu Jiajie stared blankly at the ceiling light and said softly, "He said … it was better to let him replace me and die."
"You … You agreed?"
Gu Jiajie closed his eyes and nodded, "Until now, I don't know why I agreed. I've been thinking … Maybe, it's because I want to take revenge on my mother and father, or maybe I really want to leave and don't want to live this kind of life … Or maybe, I can't bear to see my brother in such pain. You know? I've seen with my own eyes when my brother fell ill, lying next to me, that kind of painful appearance. "
Gu Jiajie shook his head, "My brother didn't have many memories with me, and also didn't have many memories about my mother. Since he was young, it was my grandmother who took care of him. For my brother, my grandmother was the most important, the only family member. He didn't want to leave his grandmother behind and leave her alone in this world. So, if the one who died was Gu Jiajie and not Liu Jiahui, my grandmother would have someone to take care of her, and … And I would be free. "
Ma Houde wiped his face, not daring to believe that these two children would come up with this idea, and couldn't help but said in a deep voice, "Ridiculous! You can't bear to see your grandmother sad, but are you willing to see your mother sad? You've been following her all this time, right? Didn't you see how sad she was? "
"I know! But what can I do? I didn't even know beforehand, but my brother jumped down that day! He died that day! We haven't even finished discussing this matter, and he had already made the decision by himself. He didn't even get my consent … I can't do anything about it! "
Gu Jiajie also became more agitated, "How many times … How many times have I wanted to go up and tell her … Mom, I'm Jiajie. But … But I can't do it! I can't do it … I don't dare to tell her, I … I lied to her like this. I … I shouldn't have promised my brother. He said, even if my grandmother recovered after the operation, she wouldn't have many days left … As long as I can accompany her during this period, a few years will be enough, and wait for her to live her last days peacefully. At that time, it doesn't matter if I appear in front of my mother as him, or if I tell the truth, it's all fine. "
"But that day … That day, when I saw a group of people gathering downstairs, when I saw my mother crying without making a sound, and when I saw the white cloth covering my brother … I …" Gu Jiajie said with a trembling voice, "I … I regret it."
After Ma Houde heard this, he shook his head and fell silent.
After handling cases for so many years, it wasn't that he hadn't experienced strange cases, but this kind of case … Ma Yi didn't know what he should say at this time.
It wasn't that he couldn't see the pain, fear, and regret of the child in front of him at this time.
"I … I didn't mean to hide it from you, Officer Ma."
"I know." Ma Houde nodded, he patted Gu Jiajie's shoulder and said with a bitter smile, "But at least … This matter isn't really bad. But do you think it's really good to continue like this? "
"I don't know, I don't know what I should do."
Ma Houde shook his head, but suddenly asked, "By the way, there's one more thing I don't understand. Why are there some strange messages on your mobile phone? "
Gu Jiajie said, "You mean the thing about the teacher?"
Ma Yi nodded.
Gu Jiajie said, "My brother said that it's better not to let others know about this matter. Since the cram school happened before, he thought that even if the police had any doubts, it would be better to mislead you. There's always a rumor about this strange teacher in the cram school, so we left such messages on our mobile phones … "
Ma Houde opened his mouth and was stunned for a moment.
He didn't mean to question Gu Jiajie's words, but he was just curious … curious about what the dead Liu Jiahui had experienced.
Putting forward such an idea, such a request … Was it just because he hoped that after he died, there would be someone who could take care of He Xiaomei for the last few years in his place, and then let Gu Jiajie, as his younger brother, be able to temporarily leave that family?
"By the way, Officer Ma, I …"
Gu Jiajie suddenly stopped himself. He wanted to say that he saw his brother and he still looked like a living person.
However, just as the words reached his mouth, he swallowed them back.
"What? Is there anything I missed?"
"No … I, I just want to say, can you not tell my mother about this matter?"
Ma Houde sighed and said, "Are you going to keep this matter a secret? To be honest, even if you pretend to be your brother to take care of your grandma, your grandma has lived with your brother for more than ten years … Can't she recognize and feel it? "
"I don't know, I can only take one step at a time." Gu Jiajie shook his head.
"Well, I'll pretend that I don't know about this matter for the time being … But I hope you can confess to your mother."
With a trace of melancholy, Ma Houde left the hospital.
…
On the way, looking at the people and cars, Ma Yi suddenly thought that Liu Jiahui had suffered so much. Didn't he feel sad?
The twins came to this world at almost the same time.
Their life trajectories were completely different.
"He …"
On the way, he stopped. Ma Houde suddenly realized, "He has resentment in his heart, deep, very deep resentment!"
…
…
He revisited the old place again. Starting from the riverside park, he didn't look back. Walking back the way he came, he finally returned to the original place.
This amusement center.
It wasn't time to close yet, so the door of the amusement center was open. But the cashier at the front desk was looking down at the video on his mobile phone and didn't notice someone coming in.
He didn't need to pay attention because he couldn't see anything.
He couldn't hear the music from the machines in the amusement center because he was wearing earplugs … So he couldn't hear anything. One of the machines was turned on again.
It was the machine that hit the tortoise.
"It's almost time."
Silently watching him grab the hammer and hit it again and again, Luoqiu slowly closed his eyes.
This undead indeed didn't have a soul … At the beginning, it didn't.
But something was left in this body, which didn't disappear for a long time. And this thing was like a seed, finally breaking out of the soil at this moment.
A newborn soul that was born from the remnants of longing.
For the first time, seeing the birth of a new soul, Luoqiu couldn't care about anything else.
Like waiting for the moment when the Epiphyllum bloomed in the middle of the night, Luoqiu quietly listened to … the sound of the new soul.
But Boss Luo opened his eyes at this moment, saying softly, "I thought you wouldn't care about this matter … Miss Black Water."
Black Water was behind him.
