River Breeze Night Sparrow

"Liu Juran and I actually had relationship problems eight years ago. However, because of the child and some random factors, we have not divorced." Cheng Qiuyuan paused, and said: "Actually, until today, we I don't plan to get a divorce anymore. Life is just like this, and it's not like I can't live on."

After Cheng Qiuyuan returned to the house, she had already changed into a high-necked home dress.But it was very intentional, she knew that Jiang Yi had probably seen it, so after thinking about it, she took the initiative to show him the pinch mark on her neck.

"Liu Juran is a little neurotic, possessive and controlling." Cheng Qiuyuan looked at Jiang Yi and said, "Tonight, because I said hello to Police Officer Jiang. We met before, but he didn't know, he He got angry with me. When I was still in Dongyue's room, he called me to go downstairs to find him. I asked Dongyue to take care of my two children and went downstairs. There was no one in the kitchen at the time. He was in the kitchen asking me what was going on."

A very sad look appeared on Cheng Qiuyuan's face: "Actually, Police Officer Jiang, the time I encountered that case and called the police, it was also Liu Juran who was drunk and domestically abused me. I finally waited for him to fall asleep, and took two children with him. I ran to my mother's house. I was afraid that if I mentioned this matter again, he would get angry again, so I lied to him and killed him, saying that I met him by chance before. Liu Juran finally believed it, so I went upstairs first. "

Jiang Yi remembered that in the police station before, Cheng Qiuyuan couldn't help trembling when she saw tall men. It can be seen that Liu Juran still caused a great psychological shadow on her.

"I didn't eat anything at night, and I was a little hungry, so I brought a piece of cake and three cups of hot milk into my room. Xiao Ming had tooth decay, and I was afraid that he would make trouble if he saw it, so I ate the cake first in the room. Then went to pick up the two children. The children fell asleep after drinking milk. Liu Juran came over and wanted to say hello to the children, but he didn't come in again when he saw that the children were asleep. But he was nervous and asked Did I deliberately let the child go to bed so early, so that he could not communicate with the children, saying that I let the children deliberately not get close to him."

Cheng Qiuyuan sighed, her eyes and nose were slightly red: "But he was afraid of disturbing the children, so he went back angrily. Not long after, he sent me a message, asking me to go out to find him and make it clear to him that I will not go out He came knocking on the door. So, around 09:30, I put on my clothes and went out to find him. He waited for me in an empty room on the second floor, hit me again without saying a word, and almost strangled me Die. But when I was struggling, I dropped a vase. Maybe Dongyue heard the movement and pushed the door in. Liu Juran stopped. I hurried out crying. Because I was afraid of going back to the room, the children would wake up suddenly, so I I stayed in the bathroom at the corner for 5 minutes. After crying enough, I washed my face before returning to the house. Fortunately, the children were still asleep. At that time, it was about ten o’clock. After returning to the house, I had a faint feeling I heard the pendulum clock ringing in the hall on the first floor."

"Then I was going to sleep too, but I never fell asleep. At about eleven o'clock, I suddenly received a message from Dongyue asking me to go out. As soon as I came out, I saw Juran fell downstairs, and my heart skipped a beat." I'm about to jump out. I thought Officer Jiang was here, so I came to find you right away."

Cheng Qiuyuan is a kind-hearted and pitiful woman, she has a gentle and loving maternal aura, even Lin Qiu unconsciously let her guard down.

Jiang Yi looked at his notes and asked, "You and Liu Dongyue seem to have a pretty good relationship. But she hasn't been back to China for long, so you probably haven't had much contact, right?"

Cheng Qiuyuan was silent.

"What? Did you guys know each other a long time ago?"

Originally, Jiang Yi was asking this question, but Cheng Qiuyuan's silence really made people have to pay attention.

Cheng Qiuyuan said: "I majored in art in college, and I was an art teacher for a while before, and I was a teacher of the type of interest class. However, Liu Juran didn't like me doing this kind of work very much, because I would be exposed to all kinds of things in the society. He thinks that I am showing my face like this. Moreover, he has always dismissed my paintings and thinks they are not promising. Eight years ago, I quit my job and did some simple art work at home, such as helping people design posters And so on. Since the year before last, I have taught some online art classes at home, but Liu Juran never knew about it.”

"Dongyue and I met before Juran returned to Liu's house. She studied painting with me for a while."

Jiang Yi asked: "Did she learn some of the landscape paintings she drew in her early years from you?"

Cheng Qiuyuan said, "Yes."

Jiang Yi nodded. "Has the relationship between Liu Juran and those two from the Liu family not been very good?"

Cheng Qiuyuan nodded. "Dongyue knew that Juran asked me to resign back then, so she has always had no good looks towards Juran."

Jiang Yi raised his eyes and asked, "Liu Juran has a bad temper with you. Didn't you have any conflicts because of this in the Liu family? For example, with Liu Dongyue and the others."

Cheng Qiuyuan thought for a while, then shook her head.Tears of grievance flashed in her eyes again, and she said, "Liu Juran just thinks that I'm easy to bully."

Jiang Yi and Lin Qiu exit Cheng Qiuyuan's room. "It seems that Cheng Qiuyuan doesn't know what Liu Xichao said. Now only Dongyue is left, let's ask directly, or should we straighten things out first?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiu looked at his watch and said, "It's early morning now, go ask first and let them rest for a while."

Jiang Yi looked out the window at the torrential rain that had not improved in the slightest, looked at the lush and mysterious large forest under the white light of lightning, then turned his head to look at Lin Qiu, and nodded.

"Please come in." Liu Dongyue's voice was not tired.

Jiang Yi pushed open the door and found that Liu Dongyue was wearing an apron, kneeling and sitting in front of a semi-finished painting, painting an oil painting.The room was brightly lit, and there was a peculiar smell of paint in the air.

The oil painting that Liu Dongyue was painting was very similar to the painting they saw before hanging at the end of the corridor in the dark night with a purple girl embracing fireworks.The whole painting uses dark blue as the base color, and the other uses are dark green and white. It can only be barely seen that the painting is about a man.

Jiang Yi and Lin Qiu sat down, Liu Dongyue stopped writing and sat opposite them.Liu Dongyue propped her head like this, stared at Lin Qiu for a while, then sighed suddenly, and turned her eyes back to Jiang Yi.

"Officer Jiang, you can ask."

Jiang Yi said: "Let's talk about tonight's timeline first."

"I stayed at home all the time today. It was about six o'clock, and everyone came one after another. There was an argument at the dinner table, and I went back to the room. Then Qiuyuan came to the room and talked to me for a while. She was called away by Liu Juran, and I helped her look after the child for a while. After she picked up the child, I started to prepare for painting. Before going to bed, my brother came to see me and asked about my grandfather’s recent physical condition , After we said good night to each other, I started painting in the room. This is the one I have been painting for a long time. It rained tonight, and I suddenly had some inspiration, so I continued to paint. "

Liu Dongyue looked back at the painting, with some emotion floating in her eyes.

"I don't know how long it took. I heard some noises. It was not the same as thunder. It seemed that something was broken. I was worried that the windows were not closed properly. If there were noises in the middle of the night, it would disturb Grandpa and the children." Not good, so I went out to have a look. It turned out that Liu Juran was beating Qiuyuan again. After Qiuyuan went back, I had an argument with Liu Juran. He only dared to show off in front of Qiuyuan and didn’t dare to provoke me, so he was called After scolding, I didn't dare to answer back. I stared at him and went back to my room door, and then I went back to my room. I sent a message to Qiuyuan and asked her to lock the door. Don't be afraid of her."

"I continued to paint. Then my brother came to knock on my door, and I found out that Liu Ju fell down and died."

"I don't remember the time very clearly, because the concept of time becomes blurred when painting is done. But if the monitoring is turned on, you should be able to see that I only went out a few times."

Jiang Yi and Lin Qiu didn't tell others that the monitoring was broken halfway.It seemed that everyone didn't know about the surveillance, only Liu Dongyue mentioned the surveillance.Indeed, in this house, Liu Dongyue should be the most familiar one.

"Do you think there is anything suspicious today?"

Liu Dongyue thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Yes. Today Liu Juran is very excited and very proud. Usually he pretends to be the grandson of my brother and me in front of the old man, but for some reason today, he straightened his back. Could it be Because of the Ruhewan project? I think, probably more than that. I don’t know if Grandpa or Dad promised him something.”

Jiang Yi and Lin Qiu looked at each other.

"The relationship between you and Liu Juran is particularly tense. Why?"

Liu Dongyue lowered her eyes and said, "There are many reasons. First, he is an illegitimate child, destroying my harmonious family. Second, you may also know that Qiuyuan is my first painting teacher. He not only domestically abused Qiuyuan, Moreover, restricting Qiuyuan's normal life caused me to lose a good teacher and good friend, and in the end, he was very annoying in appearance and personality, and I was disgusted with him."

Liu Dongyue was so outspoken, Jiang Yi turned his pen and said, "Then he died, are you happy?"

Liu Dongyue looked at Jiang Yi indifferently, and said, "At least I'm not sad."

"I heard that you had some trouble with him before you went abroad eight years ago. Can you tell me about it?"

Liu Dongyue sat on the sofa, hugged her hands unconsciously, and had an obvious defensive posture when she fell into memories.

There was silence. If it weren't for the sound of rain and muffled thunder outside the house, the universe would seem to have stopped functioning.They waited patiently. After a long time, Liu Dongyue said: "...I suspect that he sexually assaulted me."

Both Jiang Yi and Lin Qiu were surprised.Jiang Yi frowned: "Doubt?"

"Yes. But there is no such thing as surveillance. I went to the hospital for an examination, and I didn't have sex that day. So, maybe I disgusted him too much and had an even more disgusting dream."

There is no difference between what Liu Xichao and Cheng Qiuyuan said.At present, the statements of the four people can support each other, and there are no loopholes or doubts.

Before leaving Liu Dongyue's room, Jiang Yi paused, turned around and said to Liu Dongyue, "I'm sorry Dongyue. I'm not a very qualified friend."

Liu Dongyue was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses, lowered her head in silence for a while, then raised her head and said calmly: "It's okay, I don't blame you. It's because we have no fate."

Yes, just no fate.In this world, there are very few people who can be by your side just when they need help.Many long nights, originally only one person gritted his teeth and walked through.Through the dark moments, through the burning fire, through being deceived and abandoned, through depravity and struggle, towards the end of life.
