Piano Song Killing Eve [Short Story]

01 Prologue

In the desolate night, a piece of piano music with grievances and low voices stretches invisible tentacles in the air.

Just like the moonlight projected by the bright moon over the city, it quietly teases people's senses.

Loneliness and emptiness, even if accompanied by someone, still spread and spread into the body until it melted into the hollow bones.

It, like weeping and complaining, broke the loneliness of the night, and also made the loneliness of the night complete.

Cheng Dazhi walked into the school auditorium following the melody of the music. Lu Ke sat in front of the piano, and Beethoven's "Moonlight" flowed sadly between his fingers.

"Lu Ke, uncle didn't admit his mistake this time." The deep voice was sad and helpless.

Lu Ke didn't seem to hear it, and he swayed his body in accordance with the movement of the playing and the melody of the music. In the dark, his back showed an upside-down triangle shape, and through the folds of his clothes, the two blades loomed gracefully. contour.

"Lu Ke, go with uncle, give me a chance, and give yourself a chance."

The music has come to an end, Lu Ke's thoughts drift away from the melody, he quietly replied:

"Uncle, I'm not leaving, I want to be with Cheng Hai."

Act One

a month ago.

It was very late, and Cheng Hai was still practicing piano in his room.While doing trivial housework in the room, Cheng Dazhi pricked up his ears and listened proudly.

Beethoven's "Moonlight", he can also hum the whole melody, because this is a song that his son has practiced repeatedly every night for more than half a month.

Although it's summer vacation now, Cheng Hai hasn't relaxed for a day. In a few days, it will be the day of the City Middle School Student Piano Talent Grand Prix. Cheng Hai is determined to win the honor of champion.

But it was really late, and Cheng Dazhi was worried that the neighbors would protest, so he knocked on Cheng Hai's door tremblingly.

"Son, just go to bed when you're done practicing."

His tone and decibels were careful enough, but Cheng Hai was still angry.The sound of the piano stopped suddenly, and before Cheng Dazhi could react, there was only a blunt sound, followed by the sound of the car alarm from downstairs.

Someone yelled at the window of his house: "Who smashed my car? Don't you want to live?"

Cheng Dazhi hurried downstairs.

In the parking lot facing the window of his house, a car was smashed by a flower pot and its front windshield was damaged. Under the dim street lights, a group of onlookers soon gathered, and it was noisy after a while.

A middle-aged man was standing in front of the car and yelling.He is the owner of the car, and Cheng Dazhi recognized it at a glance. Although everyone is not familiar with him, look down and see him.

As soon as the middle-aged man saw Cheng Dazhi, he pointed to his nose and shouted, "Is this your flower pot? You threw it, right? Are the police so overbearing these days?"

Cheng Dazhi ignored it, but out of professional habits, he calmly investigated the scene. The flower pot was thrown from Cheng Hai's bedroom, which is beyond doubt.

"Hey, what about you! Are you deaf?" the owner continued to shout.

Cheng Dazhi apologized to the car owner calmly and humbly.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to."

"It's over if it's not on purpose? Do you think I'm afraid of you because you're a policeman?"

Cheng Dazhi dealt with the abuse from the car owner and the comments from the onlookers, but these were no longer the point of the problem.

In the chaos, Cheng Dazhi raised his head to look at Cheng Hai's window, and found that Cheng Hai had already stood in front of the window, like an expert who created troubles, watching the ordinary people disturbing themselves.

Due to the dim light, Cheng Dazhi couldn't see his son's face clearly. He only saw Cheng Hai's right hand touching his ear. At the same time, his cell phone rang, and it turned out that his son was calling him on the cell phone.

He looked at his son in front of the window and picked up the phone.

"Dad, what are those bastards doing?" As soon as the call was connected, Cheng Hai's voice almost broke Cheng Dazhi's eardrums.

"Why did you hit someone..."

"Let them go, don't interfere with my piano practice!"

After Cheng Hai finished speaking, he hung up the phone and walked away from the window.

Cheng Dazhi was surprised, he stood in the middle of the crowd like a robot that lost power, all the noise was assimilated into one frequency, retreated out of consciousness, he only thought about one thing: he really can't control this child anymore.

After Cheng Dazhi calmed down the turmoil and returned home, Cheng Hai stopped practicing the piano. Cheng Dazhi heard the sound of walking in his room, and after a while, the light went out.

Cheng Dazhi really wanted to kick open his door, drag him out of the bed and scold him again, but he didn't dare. Having been a policeman for more than [-] years, he was not afraid of anything except his son hating him.

In desperation, he crossed his hips and looked around, vaguely feeling some strange atmosphere in the house, but he was still angry and had no way to vent, so he didn't care about it.

Second act

In the middle of the night, Cheng Dazhi was soundly asleep. He vaguely heard the slight sound of footsteps and the rustling of clothes rubbing against his clothes in the living room. With his years of experience in investigating crimes, he immediately recognized that the source of this sound was something of a stranger. .He put on a coat and walked out of the bedroom.

"Who is it?" Cheng Dazhi roared, and at the same time turned on the light in the living room.

Standing in front of them were two shirtless boys wearing only underwear, one of them was his son, and the other, Cheng Dazhi also knew, was Cheng Hai's classmate Lu Ke.

Their tiptoe forward movements froze there, and both of them looked at Cheng Dazhi in horror.

"You, you guys are..."

Cheng Dazhi was even more terrified than them. He had heard rumors about his son and Lu Ke a long time ago. Even the head teacher had talked to him and told him bluntly that the relationship between Cheng Hai and Lu Ke had gone beyond ordinary friends. It is very likely that they are engaging in homosexuality.

Cheng Dazhi, who has been busy with work, remembered that he hadn't paid attention to his son's life for a long time, and felt that adolescent children were really difficult to get along with.

He wanted to talk to his son about this issue, but he couldn't say it, his emotional intelligence was really a big problem.Whenever this time, he will miss his wife who has passed away very much.

"Uncle! It's not what you think!" After Lu Ke finished speaking, he turned his face to the side and choked up repeatedly.

"Lu Ke, leave him alone, let him think as he wants." Cheng Hai took Lu Ke's hand, trying to drag him back to the bedroom, but Lu Ke still stood still.

"Can you...can you speak clearly?"

"You don't care!" Cheng Hai yelled, Lu Ke looked at him with whirling eyes, and he instantly softened.

Lu Ke looked at Cheng Dazhi again, his embarrassed and aggrieved expression made Cheng Dazhi feel unbearable.Lu Ke sighed deeply, and said, "Uncle, it was Cheng Hai who saved me."

"Lu Ke, don't say it!"

Cheng Hai was so nervous that his body collapsed, but Lu Ke shook his head frankly, and decided to explain everything to Cheng Dazhi.

Act Three

When Lu Ke's father was still there, his family was very prosperous and his life was carefree.Later, his father died in a car accident, and his life with his mother Gao Qi plummeted.

Although it is said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, Gao Qi, who is used to being a rich wife, is unwilling to live in poverty like this, so she soon falls in love with a rich second generation.

When they met, this rich second generation was only 35 years old, two years younger than Gao Qi at the time. At first, even Gao Qi didn't understand why the playboy Zhao Chenyang fell in love with her, a half-babe with a son. old milfs.

After they dated for a month, Zhao Chenyang finally expressed his ulterior motives.What he really wants is Gao Qi's son Lu Ke.

At first, Gao Qi refused, but Zhao Chenyang's noisy proposal ceremony and the bombardment of money strategy, Gao Qi finally agreed to marry him - of course, it was only a physical marriage, and he was actually sent to Mrs. Zhao's bed The person in question is Lu Ke.

Hearing that his mother made such a request to him just now, Lu Ke was shocked, and felt as chilled as falling into a frozen river. He never thought that his biological mother would use him as a bargaining chip to exchange for a rich life.But does he have the right to refuse?

"Do you think you are rich? The most important thing is to have enough food! Do you have the heart to watch your mother go to the restaurant as a waiter and go to the supermarket to sell things? Then we will not be laughed out of our teeth? We must re-live the upper class life! Do you understand?"

Lu Ke didn't understand. He thought it might be because he was too young. At that time, he was only 12 years old.

One of Gao Qi's wealthy families collapsed, and she married into another wealthy family, and she also carried a "oil bottle", which is simply a legend in the history of women's struggle.

After three years like this, Lu Ke has gotten used to this kind of life in disguise, until he got to know Cheng Hai after entering high school.

Standing together, the two of them are a very eye-catching combination, which will make people crazy. There is also an even better coincidence, they are both well-known piano princes.

At first, they always avoided each other deliberately to avoid overwhelming screams and mutual embarrassment. Gradually, the stories fabricated by their supporters more or less affected the mood of the parties involved, and they got closer. After a while, they became inseparable friends.

In fact, Cheng Hai had already discovered that something was wrong with Lu Ke. When they were together, even if they were doing the happiest things, Lu Ke's smile seemed to be covered by a dark cloud.

Until one day, Cheng Hai found that there was a strawberry-like swelling on Lu Ke's neck, and he thought who pinched it, so he kept asking.

Lu Ke held back his tears and dodged, and he felt the seriousness of the problem. In a hurry, he accidentally tore Lu Ke's T-shirt. When he saw Lu Ke's body, he hugged Lu Ke tightly, Both eyes were red.

Lu Ke told Cheng Hai what happened to him, but Cheng Hai had nothing to do except grief and anger.

In the past six months, Zhao Chenyang went abroad to take care of the family business, Lu Ke was temporarily out of the clutches, and Cheng Hai finally saw Lu Ke's brightest smile.

But heaven is just a holiday, and hell is beyond redemption. Zhao Chenyang is back, and Lu Ke will be back under the claws of the devil again.

But Cheng Hai refused to let him go without saying anything. They planned that on this evening, Lu Ke would escape from home and stay overnight in Cheng Hai's room. The next morning, they would leave here by train. .

Cheng Hai threw the flower pot downstairs just to lure Cheng Dazhi downstairs. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Ke sneaked into their house.But in the middle of the night, Lu Ke was so hungry that his stomach hurt, so Cheng Hai walked out of the room with him to find something to eat, and then Cheng Dazhi found out.

Having said that, Lu Ke started to sob again, and Cheng Dazhi's heart softened a long time ago. He patted Lu Ke on the shoulder and told him to take him to legal aid after dawn.Lu Ke suddenly raised his head, but cried even more sadly.

"Uncle, don't do this! Don't let outsiders know my family's secrets! Mom will be very miserable!"

Shocked, Cheng Dazhi felt even more sympathetic to the child who only cared about his mother. He sighed and said, "Go back to sleep first, and figure out a solution tomorrow."

Act Four

Early the next morning, Cheng Dazhi received a call from the bureau. This call unexpectedly solved the problem he had been thinking about for a long time, but the price of such a solution was too heavy.

Last night, Zhao Chenyang and Gao Qi died at home.

Cheng Dazhi had to suspect that Lu Ke was the murderer, so he woke up the two boys who were sleeping soundly on the same bed, and brought Lu Ke into the bureau without any explanation.

Cheng Hai also followed. He protested against his father's actions all the way, and asked his father to speak clearly.

Cheng Dazhi temporarily locked Lu Ke in an interrogation room, and then asked his assistant about the situation.

When he heard that the time of death was ten o'clock last night, Cheng Dazhi breathed a sigh of relief.

The murder weapon was an ice pick.

Zhao Chenyang died naked on the bed. He was stabbed by ice picks in more than a dozen places on his body, and the fatal injury was three times in the heart.

But Gao Qi's death was much simpler, the ice pick pierced into the heart, and the blow was fatal.She was lying on the floor at the end of the bed. When the body was found, the ice pick was still stuck in her heart, and her right hand was still holding the handle of the ice pick.

Judging from the investigation results at the scene, the police officers have reason to believe that it was Gao Qi who killed Zhao Chenyang and then committed suicide, because only Gao Qi's fingerprints were on the ice pick. It was as if the dead man had pierced it himself.

Moreover, according to the information provided by the 110 call center, at 23:46:[-] last night, a woman called, claiming that she was Gao Qi, who had killed her husband Zhao Chenyang and was about to commit suicide. The number of the caller , indeed belongs to Gao Qi himself.

But Cheng Dazhi found a suspicious point, if Gao Qi stabbed Zhao Chenyang to death, why didn't Zhao Chenyang's blood splatter on her clothes?

If she killed herself and changed into clean clothes before committing suicide, why can't she find the changed clothes everywhere?

Don't say that it was destroyed by Gao Qi. For a person who is determined to kill and then commit suicide, why is there any need to hide the evidence of the murder?

As for the call to the police, because they had never heard Gao Qi's own voice, they couldn't rule out the possibility that the call was the murderer's disguise.

After asking Lu Ke, another doubtful point also appeared.

Cheng Dazhi and his assistant walked into the interrogation room together. Lu Ke, who was sitting in the middle of the room, stared at them with frightened eyes. His innocent and helpless expression made Cheng Dazhi's heart tighten again.

He specifically asked not to tell Lu Ke the news of Zhao Chenyang and Gao Qi's death.

"Uncle, what do you... want me to do?"

"It's nothing important. I want to know something. If we ask you something, you can answer it truthfully." Cheng Dazhi's tone could not hear any emotion.

Under Cheng Dazhi's questioning, Lu Ke explained his whereabouts last night in detail.

Because yesterday was Friday, the servants of the Zhao family villa finished their work and left at [-]:[-] pm to return to their respective homes for the weekend.

Zhao Chenyang had a social event that night and would come back around 09:30. As for Gao Qi, in order to get her to leave home too, Lu Ke bought her a movie ticket and asked her to watch a recently popular movie.

He packed up his things and fled the house around 08:30, and came downstairs to Cheng's house at the time he agreed with Cheng Hai.

Cheng Hai threw down the flowerpot and smashed the neighbor's car, firstly to distract Cheng Dazhi, and secondly to signal to Lu Ke, Lu Ke took advantage of the noise and slipped away to Cheng Cheng's house.

Another team of police officers investigating Gao Qi's whereabouts last night also found that Gao Qi left the movie studio early at [-]:[-] last night, walked out of the theater and drove home. The evidence is the surveillance of the movie theater and parking lot video.

Doubts arose like this.

The time of Zhao Chenyang's death was around ten o'clock in the evening. Gao Qi drove home from the movie theater, and it took 15 minutes at the fastest. That is to say, Gao Qi would arrive home at 55:[-] o'clock at the earliest. , picked up the ice pick and stabbed Zhao Chenyang to death?No matter how ruthless a professional killer is, it will take a while to prepare his mind.

Even if Gao Qi's psychological quality is very high, and she wanted to kill Zhao Chenyang for a long time, then why did she go to watch a half-time movie before coming back to kill?

The most important point of doubt is that if Gao Qi had wanted to kill people that night, she could not have known that Zhao Chenyang, who had just returned from abroad, would definitely want Lu Ke terribly, and he would definitely drag Lu Ke to the bed. Lu Ke didn't tell Gao Qi that he was going to elope that night. Could it be that Gao Qi wanted to kill and then commit suicide in front of Lu Ke?Very unlikely.

"Uncle, what's the matter? Is something wrong with my mother?" Lu Ke, who had felt uneasy for a long time, asked Cheng Dazhi in a begging tone.

Cheng Dazhi and his assistant looked at each other, thought for a while, and then replied: "Yes, your mother and stepfather were killed last night."

After a brief silence, Lu Ke cried hoarsely.

Act Five

While Cheng Dazhi was interrogating Lu Ke, two other colleagues were interrogating Cheng Hai in another interrogation room.

"After nine o'clock, I threw flower pots downstairs, smashed other people's cars, and caused some confusion so that Lu Ke could come in. After that, Lu Ke hid in my room until midnight when my dad found him. What's the problem?"

The police officers looked at each other without answering.There really isn't much of a problem.

Looking at Cheng Hai's call records, his mobile phone made a call to Cheng Dazhi's mobile phone at 36:[-] last night. The call lasted only [-] seconds, which also matched the situation described by Cheng Hai.

In addition, after Cheng Dazhi calmed down the incident of car smashing and returned home, he was indeed sensitive to the signs of strangers coming in and out.

Of course, just relying on intuition is not enough. Cheng Dazhi later recalled that the appearance of that sign was that when he walked out of the house, he closed the security door, but when he came back, the security door was concealed. Looking back now, there must be someone Taking advantage of the chaos and entering the house, he didn't close the door properly in a hurry.

Cheng Hai is Lu Ke's alibi, and Cheng Dazhi also believes that his son will not lie.However, he always felt that something was wrong, so he had to suspect Lu Ke, who had the most murderous motive.

Is there no such possibility?

Lu deliberately dismissed his mother on the grounds that he could watch a movie. When it was only him and Zhao Chenyang at home, he took advantage of Zhao Chenyang's unbearable defense against him, and took out the ice pick hidden on his body to stab at the nearest place to him. Zhao Chenyang died. Unexpectedly, his mother came home early and happened to meet him. He pierced the ice pick into his mother's heart again. After the mother fell to the ground, he wiped off his fingerprints, put his mother's hand on the ice pick, and acted like a mother. The illusion of suicide by grasping the ice pick.

Anyway, he has a motive, he hates Zhao Chenyang, and at the same time hates his mother who pushed him into the fire pit.

But how did he do it in terms of time?If Cheng Hai was helping him to perjure himself, would his own feelings and the false security door also lie?

So he deliberately said this in front of Lu Ke: After collecting evidence, Gao Qi was disguised as a suicide by the murderer. The murderer wanted to create the illusion that Gao Qi killed Zhao Chenyang and committed suicide in fear of crime, but the police would not be fooled.

Originally, I wanted to verify whether Lu Ke would feel guilty when he heard the news, but Lu Ke's behavior did not seem like he knew his mother's death long ago.His grief-stricken face suddenly darkened. He seemed to have thought of something terrible. It was so terrible that the little hope he had left in his life was instantly wiped out. He fell into complete despair, and then he beat his chest and cried loudly. noisy.

"Kill me! I killed my mother!"

Cheng Dazhi thought that Lu Ke was going to plead guilty, but when he continued to question, Lu Ke regained some sense, and he shook his head in pain, and didn't say a word.

Act [-]

Although doubting his son and the poor-looking Lu Ke would make him feel painful, Cheng Dazhi couldn't abandon the terrible guess: Lu Ke should be the murderer, and his son Cheng Hai couldn't get away with it either.

So Cheng Dazhi, with the determination to kill his relatives with righteousness, used a trick of trying to catch.

He told the grief-stricken Lu Ke that they found the murderer, who should have been a few thieves who slipped through the door and picked the lock, who were killed by Zhao Chenyang and Gao Qi after they discovered it.

Lu Ke's mood didn't change after hearing the news. He didn't seem to believe it at all. To be precise, he knew the whole story long ago, and instead laughed at Cheng Dazhi's trick in his heart.

Both Lu Ke and Cheng Hai were released.

In order to avoid suspicion, Cheng Dazhi dispatched other police officers to secretly monitor Lu Ke and his son.

On a summer afternoon, the sun diffuses into waves like water on the asphalt road, and the air is rippling with a lazy climax.The two boys walked side by side on the street, aimlessly, and finally stopped in a park in the middle of the street.They walked to the swing stand where the two swings were hung, and then sat down, swinging freely on the swing like children.

"Kissing you is like being on a swing."

The police officers heard Lu Ke's first words after he walked out of the police station through the bug placed on Lu Ke's body.

Cheng Hai chuckled lightly, two blushes appeared on his face.He was so focused on remembering the good times with Lu Ke that he didn't notice Lu Ke's despair.

"You really paid a lot for me." Lu Ke deliberately spoke slowly to avoid revealing his grief and indignation prematurely.

"It's nothing, as long as I can set you free, I will do anything." Cheng Haihan said bravely.

Lu Ke: "Even if you killed one more person?"

Cheng Hai was stunned, looking at Lu Ke with suspicion in his eyes.

Lu Ke turned his head slowly, looked straight at Cheng Hai, and added, "Even if it means killing my only relative in this world?"

There was a moment of silence, as if tens of thousands of light years had passed, Cheng Hai suddenly stood up from the swing, and said anxiously: "Lu Ke, I... I knew you would doubt me! I didn't... Sigh! You... ...Are you stupid!"

Cheng Hai took off his white shirt, and rummaged through the shirt without caring about his bare upper body. Finally, he undid the cuff of the collar and pulled out the bug from inside.

There was a harsh noise, and the police officers ambushing at the side were caught off guard.

Cheng Hai didn't want to say anything, so he grabbed Lu Ke's collar again, and pulled off Lu Ke's bug at the same position.The police officers had no way of knowing the content of the conversation between the two people afterwards.

"Lu Ke, don't you know my dad's tactics? He must be suspicious of us!" Cheng Hai half-kneeled on the ground, looked up at Lu Ke who was still swinging on the swing, "You are so smart, You should have thought that they couldn't let us out easily, and you wouldn't have thought that they would install bugs on us, right? Are you trying to kill me on purpose?"

"Cheng Hai, the feeling of kissing you is like swinging on a swing." Lu Ke was still repeating what he said just now, his expression was in a trance, and his eyes began to slack. Cheng Hai was very anxious and didn't know what to do.

Suddenly, Lu Ke burst into tears, slid from the swing to the ground, threw himself into Cheng Hai's arms, and beat him like crazy.

"Cheng Hai, we could have gone far away, why did we destroy my only hope!"

02

Act [-]

Cheng Hai committed suicide. He took an overdose of sleeping pills and fell asleep in the school hall forever.

When people found him, he was lying flat on the grand piano, wearing a tuxedo, holding a rose in his hand, with a calm expression, but there were still water stains from the corners of his eyes.

When he was facing death alone, he must be recalling the scene where he and Lu Ke performed on the same stage for the first time here.

They sat side by side and played Beethoven's "Moonlight" together. The teachers and students in the audience all shook their crystal eyes, staring at this pair of young men who looked like fairies descending to earth.

They played together tacitly, and the melody was like a gentle touch, comforting two lonely souls.They could hear each other's tense heartbeats and slightly heavy breathing, and only they knew that this was not the tension of being on stage, but the joy of knowing each other from now on.

Lu Ke's body was stiff, like a walking corpse, and he walked into the school auditorium. Tears had already slid down his cheeks, but he didn't wipe them, and kept his hands hanging on his sides.As soon as he saw Cheng Hai, he began to sob violently, but his crying was still silent, and he went straight to the piano, almost tripping over several times on the way.

He threw himself on the piano, lifted the white cloth covering Cheng Hai's body with trembling hands, stared at the closed eyes, hoping for a moment that as long as he called out softly, those eyes would slowly open, and then become confused. After blinking a few times, he could see Cheng Hai's smile, the smile that made him hopeful again after being tortured so much.

"Cheng Hai, why?"

He was crying, like a kitten with nowhere to go on a rainy night.

Act [-]

Cheng Hai recorded a video before committing suicide. Cheng Dazhi had watched it once, and he felt the need to watch it again with Lu Ke.

In the reception room of the Public Security Bureau, only Cheng Dazhi, Lu Ke, and detective Xiao Zhang were sitting in the huge room.

Xiao Zhang turned on the TV in the middle of the reception room, and Cheng Hai appeared on the screen with a smile. As soon as Lu Ke saw him, his body collapsed, and tears flowed down like a bursting embankment.

"Dad, I didn't expect that your son would be the murderer." Cheng Hai on the screen smiled shamelessly, "Dad, I... I'm sorry for you. After my mother died, you worked so hard to raise me. In fact, I love you very much." You..." Cheng Hai's eyes were obviously moist, Cheng Dazhi covered his face, his shoulders trembled slightly. "Dad, I'm leaving, you have to take good care of yourself and don't miss me."

Then, Cheng Hai described the murder process.

That night, after Lu Ke walked into Cheng Hai's room, he was so exhausted that he collapsed, Cheng Hai let him lie on his bed, and not long after, Lu Ke fell asleep.

But Lu Ke kept having nightmares, and was still sobbing softly in the dream. Cheng Hai felt distressed, and hated those two people who hurt Lu Ke even more. In a fit of anger, he sneaked out while Cheng Dazhi was taking a shower in the bathroom.

He rushed to Zhao Chenyang's villa and killed him with an ice pick from his kitchen. Before he could escape, Lu Ke's mother Gao Qi came back.

Cheng Hai thought she came back just in time, so he hid behind the door of Zhao Chenyang's bedroom. When Gao Qi opened the door, he pierced the ice pick into Gao Qi's heart, and then pretended that Gao Qi committed suicide.

Speaking of killing Lu Ke's mother with his own hands, Cheng Hai's face was distorted in pain, and every word he uttered felt like a colic that affected the internal organs.

Only Cheng Dazhi knew how much grief his son was enduring.

"Dad, you shouldn't doubt Lu Ke. He is such a kind boy. How could he kill someone? Even if he did, he wouldn't kill his own mother. Dad, I am the murderer. In this case, we should Can it be over?"

Cheng Dazhi wiped his face, wiped away the tears on his face, he looked at his urgent son on the screen, suddenly became angry, and coughed violently as if he was choking, he really didn't know if he should just leave it like this Case closed.

The last paragraph, Cheng Hai said to Lu Ke.

"Lu Ke, do you know how much I love you? For you, I am willing to do anything, and I can endure anything. The saddest thing for me is..." Cheng Hai, who was smiling humbly, suddenly She cried out, "The saddest thing for me is that I killed your mother and committed a crime that you will never forgive me."

"No——! Cheng Hai, I forgive you! I never hated you!" Lu Ke threw himself in front of the TV and beat the screen hard, "Come back soon! Don't abandon me! I don't hate you! The damned person is me!"

Cheng Dazhi burst into tears again, and his assistant stepped forward to help Lu Ke up.

"Lu Ke, be my father's godson, help me take care of my father, my father will also take good care of you, he will treat you as his own son, he will, you replace me... Live happily. Lu Ke, I hope that one day... you can forgive me and believe me, everything I do is for you."

After saying this, Cheng Hai lowered his head, choked up silently for a while, then raised his head resolutely, leaned forward, and acted to turn off the camera.The image disappeared in an instant, and the screen turned into a ruthless and indifferent darkness.

"No! Cheng Hai, come back! Don't go!"

Lu Ke rushed towards the TV screen again, but was stopped by Cheng Dazhi on the way.

"Uncle, it's not what Cheng Hai said, I also killed people! I'm the murderer!" Lu Ke held Cheng Dazhi's arm tightly, crying hysterically, "Uncle, kill me, I'm the murderer!" Human spirit, if it weren't for me, Cheng Hai wouldn't kill people, wouldn't kill my mother, and I wouldn't say such heartless words to him! I killed him!"

The intense grief had exhausted Lu Ke. He gradually collapsed to the ground in Cheng Dazhi's arms. Cheng Dazhi, who was also distraught, suddenly became serious. He lifted Lu Ke up and put him on the chair On the table, he bent over, with both hands resting on the armrests of the chair.

"You don't need to say, I also know my son's temperament, and I also know that this matter is not as simple as my son said. Moreover, I am not such a simple person. If someone walks around the door of my house while I am taking a shower, I can definitely feel it. My son's suicide, and his lies, are to hide the truth of the case forever, and his wish is for you to live."

Cheng Dazhi's voice trembled violently.

Lu Ke was still sobbing violently, unable to speak, he could only nod his head.

"But Lu Ke, I can't make up my mind now, whether to help my son fulfill his last wish, or continue to dig out the truth."

"uncle……"

"Don't talk now, and you have to think about it carefully. You can't easily disappoint my son's wishes, and you can't disappoint your mother's wishes."

"What, what?"

Looking at Lu Ke's suspicious gaze, Cheng Dazhi couldn't imagine how Lu Ke could bear what he was about to tell Lu Ke.

"I ordered to conceal part of the truth from you. Your mother probably committed suicide. She once called 110 to call the police. She told the police that she killed Zhao Chenyang and was about to commit suicide."

"How... lie to me! You lie to me!"

Lu Ke raised his head, stared into Cheng Dazhi's eyes, and roared like crazy.

At this time, Xiao Zhang started to operate the computer again, and the recording of Gao Qi's call to 110 came out from the speaker.

"Hi, my name is Gao Qi, I live at No. XX in XX villa area, I'm Lu Ke's mother..."

The calm voice is a kind of detachment from despair to hopelessness after being ready to abandon everything.

"Lu Ke, you are most familiar with your mother's voice."

Cheng Dazhi asked the question in the tone of interrogating a prisoner, but Lu Ke had no time to pay attention to it. He quietly listened to the last words of the only relative he loved and hated before he passed away.

"I... just killed my husband. The motive for the murder was that he...he had a woman outside. I am... going to commit suicide now, my son... is not at home tonight, I don’t know where he went, you guys Help me find him, help me... and say sorry to him. Son, don't hate your mother when she's gone."

"mom--"

Crying at the top of his lungs again, Lu Ke fell to his knees on the ground, with his forehead pressed against the ground, sobbing in pain until he slowly collapsed.

Act [-]

The police sent the fainted Lu Ke to the hospital, but Lu Ke escaped secretly after waking up.

Cheng Dazhi knew where Lu Ke had gone.

When he came to the school auditorium and looked at the young background in a tuxedo sitting in front of the piano, he was in a trance for a moment and almost called out his son's name.

But that young man was not Cheng Hai, if he could have recognized that murderous night a month ago, maybe the tragedy would not have happened.

"Lu Ke, uncle didn't admit his mistake this time."

Lu Ke was still playing the piano, and that melody seemed to connect his soul with Cheng Hai's.

"Lu Ke, go with uncle, give me a chance, and give yourself a chance."
