Original sin

Hearing Shen Shen ask Wang Xiangkun about cigarettes, Qi Guangcai said with a smile: "I bought the cigarettes, since I'm here to visit friends, I can't be empty-handed, so I bought a pack of cigarettes and two catties of tea leaves."

Shen Shen narrowed his eyes, and Wang Xiangkun also took out a cigarette from the locker beside him at this moment. It really was of this brand, and it should have just been unsealed. There was only one pack missing.

After Qi Guangcai explained, he sat down, Wang Xiangkun put the cigarette back, and everyone sat down again.

Wang Xiangkun asked curiously: "What's so special about this smoke?"

Shen Chen didn't answer, he didn't speak, so naturally Wang Lu wouldn't say anything either.

Shen Shen looked at Qi Guangcai with a playful look: "Mr. Qi's gift is really special."

Shen Chen said that because this cigarette is very common in the market, and the price is not expensive, most people probably would not choose this brand as a gift.

Qi Guangcai pursed his lips: "Then what kind of cigarettes should I give according to Captain Shen?"

Shen Chen was stopped by his question, and Shen Chen knew that no matter what answer he gave, he was wrong.

Qi Guangcai didn't want to listen to Shen Shen's answer, he said: "Xiang Kun and I are fellow villagers, and we just have a very simple communication between fellow villagers. As for what cigarettes to give, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that I have the heart. Not to mention the cigarettes, the tea is not too expensive, 70 yuan a catty of Yunwu old tree tea."

When Qi Guangcai talked about this, it made people feel that Shen Shen was inferior.

The way Wang Lu looked at Qi Guangcai also changed. She found that although she had contact with Qi Guangcai before, the Qi Guangcai she saw today was really different from the Qi Guangcai she saw last time.

Wang Xiangkun said quickly: "Brother Qi is right, we are fellow villagers, and it would be great if he could come to see me. As the saying goes, if you send a goose feather from a thousand miles, the gift is less than the affection, isn't it? Besides, I am not an official or a boss. I didn’t enjoy the fate of those high-end products, but the cigarettes and tea are very good, very good.”

Shen Chen found that Wang Xiangkun's forehead was already dripping with sweat.

"By the way, since you are familiar with Mr. Qi, you should not be unfamiliar with Qi Hua, right?"

"Qi Hua? Who is Qi Hua?" Wang Xiangkun looked at Shen Shen in a daze, and then at Qi Guangcai.

Qi Guangcai sighed: "Qi Hua is my nephew. This child has suffered a lot since he was a child. His mother died of dystocia when giving birth to him. It was his father. My cousin dragged him up with shit and piss." , this kid is also filial, knows how to be grateful, only one thing, he just doesn't seek to make progress, he likes to hang out with those messy people all day long. He wandered in the society without going to high school, and later became a security guard, which can be regarded as walking the right path .”

Wang Xiangkun said "Oh".

Qi Guangcai explained for him again: "Xiao Wang and Guang Yu don't know each other at home."

There is nothing wrong with him calling Wang Xiangkun Xiaowang, he is indeed much older than Wang Xiangkun, and he himself told Shen Chen and the others while chatting that he and Wang Xiangkun are friends who have forgotten their age.

Wang Lu noticed that Wang Xiangkun's eyes always glanced at the clock hanging on the wall inadvertently when talking with Shen Shen. She looked at the phone, and the clock was quite accurate.

She had already seen that Wang Xiangkun should have something else to do, or he might be waiting for someone.

But she didn't say anything, just sat there quietly and listened to their chat.

Of course, she believed that Shen Shen would not be aimless, Shen Shen must have wanted to get some information from them.

Suddenly asked deeply: "Mr. Qi, have you heard about Qi Guangyu?"

Qi Guangcai sighed softly when he heard the words: "I heard, I heard that he surrendered himself to the police and admitted that he was the murderer of a serial murder case. Oh, how did my cousin do such a thing? I have long I reminded him that he is already quite old, so don't be impulsive when doing something, but he just doesn't listen."

"Is he easily impulsive?" Shen Shen asked.

"Isn't that right? His temper is so twisted that he won't even listen to what my elder brother says when he commits a crime. He just thinks too radically sometimes. When things go wrong, he feels that the whole world belongs to him. Enemies, I can't wait to get rid of these enemies." Qi Guangcai had an expression of hating iron but not steel.

Shen Shen interjected: "Just like he killed that doctor because of his father's misdiagnosis more than 30 years ago?"

Qi Guangcai's eyes widened, and he looked at Shen Shen in shock. After a few seconds, he asked, "Is there such a thing?"

Shen Chen smiled: "This time the monkey killing has been widely spread in Lin City, Mr. Qi should have heard of it, right?"

Qi Guangcai nodded, there should be many people in Lincheng who know about this matter.

Shen Shen put away his smile: "You didn't know anything about the case of Lin Zhi being killed by a monkey 30 years ago? Although the information back then was not as developed as it is now, I believe that the case of Lin Zhi should have caused quite a stir in Lin City. Bar?"

Qi Guangcai's face became a little ugly: "I did hear some rumors. Later, the police didn't say that those were probably the fantasies of the doctor's wife. Even the police didn't believe that monkeys could kill people."

Shen Shen shook his head and said: "Ordinary people would not believe what Lin Zhi's wife said, but Mr. Qi, you are different. You are also an expert in this field. You should be able to understand this kind of trick at a glance. , isn't it?"

Qi Guangcai stopped talking, and Wang Xiangkun was confused. It was normal for him not to understand. He was not an adult 30 years ago.

About half a minute later, Qi Guangcai also spoke slowly: "Yes, I immediately thought of him. I went to him and asked him what was going on, but he didn't say anything. I asked When he used such means to kill people, he also denied it. I asked him again and he would be anxious with me. I am such a relative in Lincheng, and his situation is still very bad. I really have doubts in my heart. In the end, I didn’t care about it.”

A look of guilt appeared on Qi Guanghua's face.

He went on to say: "If I had told the police about this at that time, these things would not have happened today, and so many people would not have died because of him. Officer Shen, do I know that I did not report it?"

Shen Shen did not speak, and lit a cigarette. He re-examined the man named Qi Guangcai in front of him in his heart. This is a man with rich life experience, and he speaks impeccably. Is there any secret hidden in him? Woolen cloth?

Wang Lu smiled and asked, "Mr. Qi, how did you and Wang Xiangkun meet?" She didn't ask Wang Xiangkun, but Qi Guangcai.

Qi Guangcai also smiled: "We met by chance. He was at the Transportation Management Office, and my family had a car that was dedicated to running the line from Lincheng to Qiaocheng. Fellow villagers, we got to know each other after we came and went. We hit it off very well, and a few fellow villagers from time to time will often get together. We have only a few people from southern Henan. We hug each other and meet each other We can take care of each other when we encounter difficulties.”

Wang Lu nodded thoughtfully.

Shen Chen changed the topic again: "Mr. Qi, Qi Guangyu committed suicide."

Qi Guangcai, who was originally smiling, froze suddenly: "What?"

"Qi Guangyu committed suicide." Shen Chen said it again.

Qi Guangcai showed sadness on his face: "I didn't think about him, but he turned out to be a prophecy."

Shen Chen frowned: "What is a prophecy?"

"I remember the last time I went to see him, he said that maybe one day he would be like his father and follow his father's old path. I know that he has been tortured by the disease for a long time these years. Even if he doesn't die, in the end he will die." You can only lie on the bed like a vegetable, and you will lose consciousness all over your body.”

Wang Lu asked again: "Where was his ALS diagnosed?"

Qi Guangcai replied: "I accompanied him to a big hospital in the capital. But I felt strange in my heart. His father was misdiagnosed with ALS. How could he really suffer from this disease? "

"When was it diagnosed?" Wang Lu followed this question closely.

Qi Guangcai thought for a while: "It's been almost five years. At the beginning, he felt that his leg was not working well, so he went to the provincial doctor to see it. The result given by the provincial doctor was frostbite. Surprised, so under my mobilization, I accompanied him to the hospital in the capital, but the result was the same. After he came back, he was so depressed that he lay on the bed not long after. When I went to see him, I talked about him. Move or move more, maybe that can slow down the onset of the disease, but he doesn't listen, his posture seems to want to die."

Shen Shen asked Wang Lu: "Is this disease hereditary?"

Wang Lu smiled wryly: "It's hard to say. ALS does have a genetic tendency, but the main cause of inheritance is gene mutation." Speaking of this, she looked up at Shen Shen: "You suspect that his father had no Misdiagnosis, but really ALS?"

That's what Shen Chen thought. At that time, the experts in the capital didn't really conduct a rigorous demonstration on Qi Guangyu's father's condition.

Wang Lu was a little angry: "How can these experts speak irresponsibly?"

Shen Shen smiled helplessly, Qi Guangcai also understood what they were talking about, Qi Guangcai said: "No wonder!"

Both Shen Chen and Wang Lu looked at him, and then he explained: "Actually, when I went to see him for the last time, he told me something that I didn't understand at the time. He said he regretted it, and he shouldn't just listen to it. Yu, his heart is full of guilt, and he should not pass on his inner hatred to Qi Hua, so that Qi Hua has lived under his shadow since he was a child."

Shen Chen and Wang Lu looked at each other, and they seemed to understand a little bit.

Qi Guangyu should also know that ALS is hereditary, and his own disease may be more genetic. If that is the case, he must have killed Lin Zhi by mistake. Lin Zhi is innocent.

"Okay, we still have something to do, so don't bother me." Shen Shen stood up and led Wang Lu away. Wang Xiangkun and Qi Guangcai sent them to the door.

After going downstairs, the two didn't leave immediately, but found a secluded place in the community, quietly looking in the direction of Wang Hekun's house, Qi Hua must still be around here, and had seen Wang Xiangkun and Qi Guangcai before. Afterwards, Shen Chen almost concluded that Qi Hua and Wang Xiangkun must have known each other and had some kind of connection.

Qi Hua's coming here must have something to do with Wang Xiangkun, but Qi Guangcai was an unexpected gain.

"You said, Qi Guangcai really just wanted to see fellow villagers today?" Wang Lu asked.

Shen Chen pursed his lips: "Wang Xiangkun asked for sick leave today. He said on the phone that he wanted to meet a very important guest. Is this guest Qi Guangcai or Qi Hua? What is the relationship between him and Qi Hua? I am like this I wondered if he knew that Qi Hua would come to him today, and there was some kind of conflict between him and Qi Hua, so he asked Qi Guangcai to be a peacemaker. Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Qi Hua The glory was found by Qi Hua."
