Chapter 20 Strangling Yourself

It was a beautiful woman with a pair of gray-blue eyes. She was leading a child and running away in the boundless wilderness.

Behind them, many vicious wolves were chasing, their teeth gleaming sharply, and their fur wet with foul-smelling saliva.

"Run, Yan Su!" The woman yelled sadly and desperately: "Run, baby!"

"Mom..." The child didn't have time to respond, and was pushed away by the woman.

A bullet pierced through the air, the child stiffened and fell to his knees, and the woman fell down.

"Mom..." The child leaned against the woman's side with trembling hands, but couldn't shed tears.

Someone walked up to him and pinched his jaw, his voice was hoarse like a ghost: "Mother, you are a role model for your children."

"Is it... Yan..."

The wilderness was upside down, the boundless desert, Yan Su knelt under the star river, his eyes widened, and he saw the yellow sand filled the air.

The sky was pale, and the sanitation workers were sweeping the street, mopping the floor with brooms, and there was a sound of scrubbing.

Yan Su woke up suddenly, sweating profusely, he fell back as if exhausted, stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.

A mother is a role model for children.

Yan Su seemed to have figured something out. He stretched out his arms to grab the cell phone on the bedside table, but when he didn't get it, the cell phone fell to the ground and made two muffled thuds.

Yan Su sat up and muttered to himself, "I don't have his phone number..."

Before the words finished, there was a gentle knock on the door, Yan Su glanced at the time, it was 05:30 in the morning.

Who is it so early.Yan Su got out of bed, pulled on his slippers to open the door.

Yan Yan carried the breakfast he made himself, including oatmeal cakes, soy milk, vegetable and fruit salad, and fried eggs, and greeted him with a smile: "Morning, Boss Yan."

Yan Su remained expressionless, and let him in sideways.

Yan Yan didn't expect to come so early. After leaving Yan Su's house last night, he went to find his colleagues to investigate the case. He ran around and stayed up all night. After returning home, he couldn't sleep. He simply got something to eat and then made breakfast. Drive to Wanxin Community.

He also tentatively knocked lightly on the door, unexpectedly Yan Su heard it and came to open the door for him.

Yan Su looked at him suspiciously: "Are you asleep?"

"No." Yan Yan said, he is physically strong, and he used to stay up all night doing tasks, so staying up all night has little effect.

People who don't sleep are alive and well, and those who sleep are sick.

Yan Su felt unbalanced, looked at the hot breakfast in Yan Yan's hand, and said flatly, "What are you doing here so early?"

"I have a discovery." As if returning to his own home, Yan Yan rushed into the kitchen with ease, put the breakfast in the dishes, and put it on the table. He supported the table with one hand, and looked at Yan Su with one hand on his hip: "Tell you Say, you're right."

"What?" Yan Su intuited that it was related to the case.

"The girl in the Blue Shark Internet Cafe, I have someone check her name is Hou Yuping. She has just worked there not long ago, and she doesn't know the three victims. It's normal." Yan Yan gently tapped the table with his index finger.

"but……"

After the turning point is the point, Yan Su pricked up his ears.

"According to the owner of Blue Shark Internet Café, Hou Yuping has been working in Blue Shark Internet Café for less than a week. Before that, her brother was on duty."

"Her brother?"

"Hou Yulei." Yan Yan took out the phone and handed it to him: "This is what Kezi found, some of his information."

Hou Yulei, male, 26 years old, 66 years old, unmarried, lives with his mother Zhou Qiaolian and younger sister Hou Yuping, at No. [-] Shacao Street, West District. Suffering from pancreatic cancer, advanced stage.

"Wait until ten o'clock, and the results of the police interview will come out." Yan Yan stared into Yan Su's eyes: "Do you think this person..."

"When did he detect pancreatic cancer?" Yan Su asked anxiously.

Yan Yan thought for a while, his eyes revealed a sudden realization, and he looked at Yan Su: "According to the hospital records, a month ago, just a few days before Xue Lingling was killed!"

The huge stimulus became the fuse that ignited the murderer's desire to kill.

Turning around, the suspect finally has a clue!

Before seven o'clock, Yan Yan rushed back to the city bureau with Yan Su.

The two waited restlessly, while Yan Yan told the police on duty to keep an eye on Hou's house while waiting for the results of the visit.

It was less than ten o'clock, and the results of the visit came back.

Shen Jia rushed into the big office and said out of breath, "Boss, yes, yes! The area around Shacao Street is full of old houses, where the residents have lived for more than ten years. There is an old lady who is very familiar with the Hou family. She watched the two brothers and sisters grow up. She said that the Hou brothers and sisters were often abused by their mother Zhou Qiaolian when they were young."

Zhou Qiaolian, female, 42 years old, dropped out of school at the age of 16 and went to Hou Yulei. She was often subjected to domestic violence by Hou Yulei's father.

Afterwards, Zhou Qiaolian often vented her anger on Hou Yulei, beating, scolding and insulting her son.Later, Zhou Qiaolian sold her body to make a living. When Hou Yulei was ten years old, she gave birth to Hou Yuping, whose biological father was unknown.

After giving birth to Hou Yuping, Zhou Qiaolian became old and decrepit, and gradually no one cared about her. She smoked, drank, played cards, and beat her son and daughter when she was unhappy.In order to hide from Zhou Qiaolian, the brothers and sisters of the Hou family often ran to the old lady's house to hide, so Zhou Qiaolian often quarreled with the old lady.

Zhou Qiaolian was over 30 years old. One day, she suddenly changed her gender. She went to a psychiatric hospital for treatment and started taking medicine. She gradually became normal and found a job as a sweeper.

Everyone thought she had gotten better, but Zhou Qiaolian became addicted to drugs and spent all her family's money on fans.

"Do you have the recording of the interview?" Yan Su asked.

Shen Jia nodded, looked at Zhang Ke, Zhang Ke understood, and clicked to play the recording——

"Cough cough," the old lady's voice was hoarse and soft. After coughing for a long time, she asked tremblingly, "What's wrong, something happened to Yulei?"

"No," Shen Jia said, "We just ask about your situation."

"Ah, that's good," the old lady sighed vigorously, "It would be great if you could help this poor couple."

"You said that the mother of the brothers and sisters abused them. What happened? How did you scold them? Can you tell me?" Shen Jia asked straightforwardly.

The old lady didn't care about her sudden visit to disturb her, and murmured with memories in her tone: "I remember that time, the most violent time, Yulei's father, a few days after the beast disappeared, Yulei's mother, He took his silk scarf and strangled Yulei's neck, scolding him, kicking him and beating him."

"It's in the garden outside. Yulei's mother went crazy and called Yulei a beast. He deserved to die." The old lady sighed, "How can a mother scold her son like that? At least a piece of flesh fell from her body!"

"That baby Yulei was smart and smart since she was a child, and she did well in her studies. Later, when the money for going to school was gone, he stopped studying."

Shen Jia grasped the point and asked: "You said Zhou Qiaolian strangled him with a silk scarf, what color?"

"Ah...this..." The old lady thought for a long time, hesitated: "It seems...it seems...red."

The recording stopped abruptly.

Red silk scarf, the silk scarf tied around Xue Lingling's neck is red!

"Where is Zhou Qiaolian?" Yan Su asked suddenly.

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, and Ke Zi stepped forward and said, "I have been in the drug rehabilitation center for two years, and I was just released two days ago."

"The person who tied the bell has to be untied. If he is about to die, the last person he will kill must be the root of everything." Yan Su looked at Yan Yan.

Yan Yan understood, nodded solemnly, and ordered in a deep voice: "Shen Jia looks for Zhou Qiaolian, protect her, and the others round up the major suspect Hou Yulei!"

"Yes!" In the office, the excited policemen said in unison.

A search and rescue operation was launched at the same time.

Shen Jia led people into Zhou Qiaolian's house, Hou Yuping opened the door, Shen Jia showed her police ID, Hou Yuping was startled, and hid back in the house, not daring to speak.

Shen Jia looked at the little girl's thin arms and legs, and remembered that she was often beaten and scolded by her biological mother when she was a child, so she tried her best to soften her tone, stepped forward to hold Hou Yuping's thin wrist, and said slowly: "Sister is here to save you of."

Hou Yuping was in a daze and didn't speak.

"Tell my sister." Shen Jia stroked her withered and yellow hair due to malnutrition, "Where are mom and brother?"

Hou Yuping opened her mouth and her eyes flickered. She stood in the dark living room with no light on all sides.

"My brother took my mother out this morning."

After the little girl said this sentence, she tightly shut her mouth and said nothing more.
