Chapter 11 10. Faced with too many doubts, Yu Xiaoman chose to escape
Yu Xiaoman went to Jiang Meiduo when she was desperate.
When the frightening night fell suddenly, she immediately woke up from the mess Liu Liping had left her.At the same time, Yao Xiuhua's huge, bloodless face was elongated and flattened like a devil's mask, changing back and forth before her eyes.Wherever her eyes turned, the mask pursued her, on the walls, on the ceiling, on the sofa, it was everywhere.
Yu Xiaoman waved her hands in horror, and shouted loudly: "Get out! Get out!" Seeing her panic-stricken appearance, the mask actually grinned with bloody mouth. Suddenly, the whole small building It was filled with Yao Xiuhua's hoarse and strange laughter.
"Hahahaha——" the mask danced and danced amidst the laughter, as proud as it could be.
Yu Xiaoman trembled all over, covered her ears with her hands, and rushed out of the house frantically.
When the anti-theft door behind her was slammed shut, all fear was also locked in the room, and she couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.However, standing in the dark corridor, she soon found that she had nowhere to go.
Yu Xiaoman just came to the yard aimlessly.She looked blankly at the lights of Wanjia in the villas, and at this moment, she suddenly found a ray of light coming out of the windows of Jiang Meiduo's house.As if the drowning man had grabbed a straw, Yu Xiaoman ran towards Youguang without even thinking about it.
The doorbell only rang once, and Jiang Meiduo's footsteps and questioning voice came from inside the room: "Who is it?"
Hearing Jiang Meiduo's kind voice, Yu Xiaoman felt an indescribable relief. "It's me, Jiang Meiduo, it's me, Yu Xiaoman!" She said incoherently.
Jiang Meiduo opened the door immediately.
Jiang Meiduo was actually wearing a cape-style light gray windbreaker.She seemed to have just come back from the outside, but also seemed to be about to go out.Seeing this scene, Yu Xiaoman's heart sank suddenly, and the comfort she had just now was wiped away.
She walked into the door dejectedly, ready to hear Jiang Meiduo say: I'm sorry, I'm going out right now, come back another day!
However, Jiang Meiduo took her hand with concern and asked, "What's the matter with you? What happened?"
Only then did Yu Xiaoman raise her head, and asked uneasily, "Are you going out?"
"No, I just came back from outside."
Yu Xiaoman's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "Can you stay with me for one night? I'll go out to look for a house tomorrow."
Jiang Meiduo found a pair of slippers from the bathroom and asked her to put them on, then pulled her to sit on the sofa, and asked again with concern: "Tell me, what happened?"
"I am afraid!"
"What are you afraid of? Where's your aunt?"
"Dead!"
"Dead?"
Looking at Jiang Meiduo's shocked expression, Yu Xiaoman realized that Jiang Meiduo actually knew nothing about what happened to her master.In other words, Jiang Meiduo had nothing to do with Yao Xiuhua's death.So, with guilt, she began to talk intermittently about Yao Xiuhua's disappearance and drowning, and Wang Jingfang's murder.
"Then you can stay with me, no matter how many days you want." After listening to Yu Xiaoman's narration, Jiang Meiduo immediately said, "It's really hard for you, poor little guy, what have you been doing these days?" Made it through. Why didn't you come to me sooner? I'll help you, at least not leave you alone in that horrible house."
"I..." Yu Xiaoman muttered, but swallowed back what she almost said.She can't say that she came to find Jiang Meiduo, let alone let Jiang Meiduo know that she found her whereabouts in an alley.So, after a moment of hesitation, she changed her words: "The police won't let me go out. They told me to stay at home until the case is cleared up. I can stay with you at night, but I still have to stay at home during the day, ready for the police to come anytime." Ask me." What she said was the truth, so after she finished speaking, she didn't feel embarrassed by telling a lie.
Jiang Meiduo looked at her more and more pitifully: "How do you live these days? The master is dead, who will give you money for food?"
"The more than 1,000 yuan I saved to return to you was gone. The police only found my empty wallet on my aunt. I had to borrow 100 yuan from the policeman."
"What? Your aunt stole your money?"
"After she was drowned, the police found my wallet from her body. However, it is still not certain whether she stole the money." Yu Xiaoman said in a crying voice.
"God! This is really incomprehensible. Xiaoman, don't think about those bad things anymore. I have long forgotten the little money you borrowed, and I gave you the money, which helped you a little Busy, don't mention the matter of paying back the money again, okay?"
"But……"
Jiang Meiduo repeatedly waved her hands and said, "Stop! Stop!" Yu Xiaoman was amused by her exaggerated gesture.
"Have you had dinner?" Jiang Meiduo asked again.
"have eaten."
"Well, you go take a shower first and have a good sleep. I'll clean up your room right away. By the way, how about you sleep upstairs?"
"I can sleep anywhere!" Yu Xiaoman said gratefully.She looked at Jiang Meiduo's beautiful and affectionate face with tears in her eyes, and the former angel was resurrected in her heart.At the same time, an indescribable regret also appeared in her heart.Really, for such a beautiful and kind woman, Yu Xiaoman shouldn't doubt her character, at least, she shouldn't tell the police what happened that night.Who can be sure that it was not a misunderstanding!Besides, Jiang Meiduo is a single woman, she may fall in love with a married man, and go to a tryst in an alley in the middle of the night, what's wrong with that?As for the flashing shadow of Wang Liang in the alley, Yu Xiaoman is more willing to believe that it is just her own hallucination. No matter how you say it, Wang Liang and Jiang Meiduo are not related, they are strangers to each other of two people.But that day in front of the police, I really lost my head and talked nonsense. Afterwards, I felt very relieved.Alas, I hope I don't cause Jiang Meiduo any trouble because of my narrow-mindedness and talkativeness.Although an innocent person cannot be smeared, if the police want to intervene in the investigation, even if Jiang Meiduo is only dating a married man, her reputation will be damaged if the investigation finds out, let alone her What about the top ten youths in the city...
Yu Xiaoman stood under the shower head in the bathroom, the remorse in her heart was rushing like rushing water.For a while, she stood there in a daze, shaking her head again and again, not knowing how to make up for this mistake.People, why are you always willing to think badly about your relatives and benefactors?At this moment, she really wanted to give herself a slap in the face.
When Yu Xiaoman came out of the bathroom wearing the soft and warm pink nightgown that Jiang Meiduo gave her, Jiang Meiduo had already made the bed for her.She brought Yu Xiaoman to the upstairs, which was decorated in a very different style from the downstairs—it could be described as resplendent and magnificent. She opened the gold handle of a carved imported oak door, and let Yu Xiaoman go in first. Then, she pointed to the The large double bed is also composed of carvings and gold decorations and asked: "Do you like the color of this quilt?" Yu Xiaoman then moved her novel eyes away from the exquisite furnishings in the room, and looked intently at the white cotton bed cover The hand-embroidered red rose on it corresponds to the title of a book: blood red and snow white.The background of the quilt cover is dazzlingly white. This blood-red rose blooms in the middle of the quilt cover. Sexy, giving people a lifelike feeling.
Yu Xiaoman was stunned by this masterpiece, this is not a quilt, it is a real work of art!
"It's so beautiful, so beautiful!" After a long time, Yu Xiaoman said in amazement, "Change me to an ordinary bed cover! It's a pity that I will cover it."
"Look at you, why are you being polite! As long as you like it." Jiang Meiduo said with a smile.She urged Yu Xiaoman to go to bed early.When Yu Xiaoman obediently and carefully got into the thin and warm silk quilt, Jiang Meiduo stood on the floor and looked at her lovingly.
Lying in the gentle hometown, Yu Xiaoman showed a happy smile on her face.For the first time in many days, she smiled so happily.
"Thank you!" she said sincerely.
Jiang Meiduo seemed to be moved by a child's innocence. She sat on the side of the bed, leaned her head towards Yu Xiaoman, and kissed her forehead affectionately: "Sleep, little guy, have a good dream!" Said Then, he tucked the quilt for her again, and turned off the bedside lamp.
Tears welled up in Yu Xiaoman's eyes.Oh, the angel is resurrected, Yu Xiaoman remembers that no one has ever treated her so well when she grows up.But Jiang Meiduo had no relationship with her, yet cared for her so deeply.At that moment, her heart was soaked by this deep affection, happiness and joy almost overflowed.Yes, she no longer had to fear being homeless on the streets.With angels helping her, what else had she to worry about?It's just that she really shouldn't have told the police about Jiang Meiduo, why is she so stupid, and even took the police to identify the location of the alley.
Hearing Jiang Meiduo's gentle footsteps going downstairs, Yu Xiaoman felt guilty again.Maybe she should explain all this to Jiang Meiduo, and tell her that she had no choice but to tell the police.Then, ask her forgiveness, and at the same time, remind her to be careful when dating, so that no one will find out.She thought that as long as she could tell what happened, Jiang Meiduo would forgive her, and she would be relieved, so she no longer had to worry about it.Otherwise, seeing Jiang Meiduo ruined and ruined, and more importantly, the person who betrayed her and made her look ugly was a girl with a bad conscience who was still living in her house with her best help, how sad she would be!And what face does Yu Xiaoman have to face Jiang Meiduo's angelic kind face...
When Yu Xiaoman decided to tell Jiang Meiduo everything, she also thought of another remedy: if she could see the two policemen tomorrow, she must clear Jiang Meiduo's "crime" and say that she was actually It seems that I misjudged the person, think about it carefully, that woman is just a bit like Jiang Meiduo, she is not Jiang Meiduo at all...
Yu Xiaoman didn't want to delay any longer.She had to tell everything before falling asleep.So, she hurriedly got up and walked downstairs with her slippers on.
At this time, the light in the living room was turned off, and Jiang Meiduo, who was wearing a long lake blue nightgown, was leaning on the bedside in the bedroom and talking with someone on her mobile phone.
When Yu Xiaoman gently pushed open the half-hidden door, Jiang Meiduo was startled first, then turned off her cell phone, and looked at Yu Xiaoman with a surprised expression: "Why haven't you slept yet?"
"I... I want to thank you!" Yu Xiaoman said a little excitedly.
Jiang Meiduo laughed: "Little guy, you have already said that."
"There is one more thing I want to tell you." After saying this, Yu Xiaoman's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she couldn't help becoming nervous.
Jiang Meiduo was still smiling: "What do you want to tell me? Come on, little guy, sit here and talk slowly!" She patted an empty space at the head of the bed, while pushing aside the corner of the quilt for Yu Xiaoman Say.
Yu Xiaoman's nervous heart was melted by this tenderness again.As soon as she sat on the head of the bed, Jiang Meiduo immediately put her arms around her shoulders.
Yu Xiaoman put her slender neck on Jiang Meiduo's arm, and rubbed her face against Jiang Meiduo's shoulder. She could feel Jiang Meiduo's body temperature and smell a faint fragrance.Her mood began to become relaxed and peaceful.It's like a child snuggling in its mother's arms, so warm and sweet.
"There is one thing I must let you know. But after listening to me, you must forgive me." Yu Xiaoman said in a coquettish voice.She pouted her mouth involuntarily, even she herself was surprised that she would act coquettishly in front of Jiang Meiduo.This voice sounded so strange. Now that I think about it, she only spoke in such a delicate voice when her father was alive.
"Speak, little fellow! I say forgive you now! Even if you have done a terrible thing, I will forgive you. You are still a child! God will forgive a child if she does something wrong. "Jiang Meiduo also said in a naughty tone.
Her words that sounded a little careless gave Yu Xiaoman courage again: "The night before yesterday, I went to Heping Road for errands, and when I passed by a small alley, I saw you..." When she told this story, she was still After doing some processing, I didn't say that I was there to follow, and at the same time, I didn't mention Wang Liang's name.
"God, you are not dreaming! How could I go to Heping Road." Jiang Meiduo laughed unexpectedly.
Hearing Jiang Meiduo's smile, Yu Xiaoman immediately became less confident: "So I really misjudged the person?"
"Isn't that right? What am I doing at Heping Road in the middle of the night?" Although Yu Xiaoman couldn't see Jiang Meiduo's face, she could feel that Jiang Meiduo was still smiling.So, I made a joke: "I thought you were going on a tryst with someone!"
"How come? I want to have a tryst, and I can stay at my own home. Is there any need to hide?"
"Yes! I thought so too." Yu Xiaoman actually echoed. "You came here to beg me to forgive you for this?"
"Not at all. Now that I think about it, I really regret it. How stupid I was to tell the police about it..."
Yu Xiaoman felt Jiang Meiduo's arm tremble suddenly.She immediately stopped talking, and raised her face worriedly to look at Jiang Meiduo.But Jiang Meiduo raised her head very high, her eyes were looking away, so no matter how long Yu Xiaoman's neck stretched, she couldn't see her face clearly.
"Are you angry?" Yu Xiaoman asked cautiously.
"No. I'm listening!" Jiang Meiduo's voice sounded normal.
"How did they force you?"
"They asked me where I was at night? What happened to me?"
"You said you met me?"
"Seeing their serious expressions, I told them all about what I saw."
"What did the police say?"
"They didn't say anything. Oh, by the way, they told me you were one of the top ten young men in the city."
Jiang Meiduo laughed out loud: "Interesting."
"Well, I'm stupid, aren't I?"
"It's a bit silly. Remember in the future, you have to be careful when dealing with the police. You can't talk about what you shouldn't. If you talk too much, you will get into trouble. For example, if you live with me at night, you can't talk to the police. Tell me, do you understand?"
"Understood! You can't say what you shouldn't say! I remember everything, and I will never forget it in my life! As long as you don't get angry with me, that's fine!"
Jiang Meiduo laughed again, "Okay, are you done talking? It's time to go to bed!"
At this time, Yu Xiaoman asked worriedly: "Will you forgive me?"
"Aside from being a little stupid, you didn't do anything to apologize to me!"
"But I told the police..."
"What does that matter! The police always ask detailed questions, but not everything is useful to them. Don't take this matter to heart, I'm afraid the police won't remember what you said." In turn, Jiang Meiduo began to comfort Yu Xiaoman.
"So you forgive me!"
"Of course, little guy, go to sleep! Come on, I'll take you upstairs." Jiang Meiduo patted her on the back affectionately and said.
In this way, Yu Xiaoman spent a week in Jiang Meiduo's gentle hometown, leaving early and returning late.Jiang Meiduo always took care of this poor little girl with motherly love, which made Yu Xiaoman so grateful that she didn't know how to repay her.
Just last night, when she and Jiang Meiduo were sitting in the living room discussing her future, Jiang Meiduo gave her a "small gift" - a beautiful emerald ring. "A friend of mine brought this back from South Africa, the place of origin. It's exquisitely crafted. It suits you very well." Jiang Meiduo took out the ring from the silver jewelry box and put it on Yu Xiaoman's left hand. on the middle finger.
Yu Xiaoman stared blankly at this shining green art treasure, took off the ring as if afraid of burning her hands, and put it back into the jewelry box: "I can't accept it! This gift is too expensive!"
"Look at what you said, isn't it just a ring? Compared with friendship, how expensive is it?" Jiang Meiduo looked at Yu Xiaoman affectionately, "I just hope that on the day you get married, If you can wear it on your hand, you can think of me and our friendship. I know that once you leave Baiyun, the day when we will meet again is far away. If this little gift can remind you of me, then it It's worth the money."
What else could Yu Xiaoman say?For the sake of friendship, she could only accept this small gift obediently.
"When I think that we will be separated, I feel very uncomfortable. I originally wanted to let you stay by my side and do something you like after the matter of your master is finished. But now, it seems that you chose to leave Baiyun. That's right, the farther away you are, the better, as you said, this city doesn't leave you with any good memories." Jiang Meiduo said while smoothing Yu Xiaoman's ponytail with her hands.She also seemed to be disappointed and tired of the city of Baiyun. When Yu Xiaoman proposed to fly away, she didn't say a word to keep her.
"Except for you! No matter where I go, I will miss you!" Yu Xiaoman's eyes glistened with tears.
"I will miss you too. I really envy you. If I were still as young as you, I would choose again and start over." Jiang Meiduo's tone was mixed with rare sadness.Yu Xiaoman couldn't help looking up at her.
"By the way, when are you going to leave?" Jiang Meiduo asked with concern.
Yu Xiaoman thought for a while and said, "Probably have to wait until the case is fully investigated! That's what the police said. I can't go anywhere until the case is clarified."
"That may take a long time! Many criminals now have high IQs. They use high-tech crime methods, and their anti-detection capabilities are many times stronger than those of the police. Therefore, it is not so easy to detect such murders. It may take more than ten years, and it may become a case without a case.”
"My God, if that's the case, won't I be dragged into an old woman?"
"Just wait and see! If you still don't have any clues, just run away!" Jiang Meiduo said in a joking tone.
"The police will bring me back."
"Why did they arrest you? You are not a suspect!"
"But I'm still worried..."
"What do you have to worry about, you are completely free now!" Jiang Meiduo thought for a while, then asked, "Have you figured out where you are going?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. In fact, it's the same when I go to Qiang. Anyway, I have no relatives. Maybe I will go to Anhui to find Ah Hui."
"Is it your nanny friend? That's a good idea. However, if you think of Shenzhen or Guangzhou, I can introduce you to some friends there."
"How to take this step is very important to me, and I have to seriously think about it."
"Of course! Once you've figured out where you're going, just tell me. I've prepared travel expenses and pocket money for you."
"Jiang Meiduo, you are so kind to me!" Yu Xiaoman said sincerely.She knew very well in her heart that she didn't need Jiang Meiduo's support at all, but she didn't want to tell about Liu Liping leaving her a huge sum of money.So far, she hasn't figured out what to do with the money.
"Look, you're here again!" Jiang Meiduo patted her on the shoulder affectionately, not letting her continue.
As Jiang Meiduo said, the two police officers probably forgot what happened in the alley long ago, and never mentioned it to Xiao Man again.When Liu Kai and Ma Sen came, they only told her about Yao Xiuhua's case.They said that through investigation, they found that no one kidnapped Yao Xiuhua, but she ran away by herself.Some people saw her walking on the street in the county town of her hometown, and some people saw her at the long-distance station in Baiyun.It is estimated that her nerves were a little deranged, and when she ran to the pond, she shouted: Killing!When many people heard her yelling, they took her for a crazy woman.
Liu Kai returned Yu Xiaoman's wallet to her.He also said that it has been found out that the wallet was indeed stolen by Yao Xiuhua.
Yu Xiaoman was shocked that Yao Xiuhua actually stole her wallet and ran away from home.
"You never found out that her body has recovered?" Liu Kai also asked Yu Xiaoman curiously.
"No. Usually she is alone upstairs, and I don't go upstairs to sleep at night. And when I go upstairs, she always lies in bed and snores. However, during this period, two small things happened. One was that she I moved my lipstick, and another time she ate the food in my bedroom. But it doesn't mean anything. Her illness did improve after I came. She crawled to the bathroom at first, but later You can lean on the wall and walk."
"She also went to the Rose Garden - where her husband Wang Jingfang lives now - before she died. Her fingerprints were all over the room," Masson added.
"So she killed her husband?" Yu Xiaoman asked.
"We can't draw conclusions yet," Liu Kai said. "This case is quite complicated, and there are too many clues."
"When can I leave here?" Yu Xiaoman asked again.
Liu Kai pondered for a moment before saying: "It's not enough right now, we'll let you know when the investigation becomes clear." As he spoke, he took out another 100 yuan from his jacket pocket and handed it to Yu Xiaoman, "You can pay for this money." Use it first, and when you can leave, we will help you find other ways." Yu Xiaoman didn't want to take the money at first, but she was afraid that Liu Kai would find out his flaws, so she took the money away.Now, in front of the two police officers, she not only concealed the fact that Liu Liping left behind the letter and money, but also concealed that she lived at Jiang Meiduo's house at night, and Jiang Meiduo provided all the food and clothing. a fact.
As time passed, Yu Xiaoman became more and more mature and natural when dealing with the two police officers.When Liu Kai and Ma Sen asked questions, she always chose her words carefully, said what should be said, and kept silent about what should not be said.When dealing with the questioning of the two police officers, he often appeared absent-minded, and completely lacked the conscious and active cooperation of the past.
The two police officers mentioned Wang Liang's name when Yu Xiaoman was defenseless.
This morning, when Liu Kai and Ma Sen walked in the door, they looked very excited.
"Xiao Man, you've done a great job this time." Liu Kai's face was brimming with joy, changing from his previous serious appearance.
"I—have made meritorious service?" Yu Xiaoman was told that Monk Zhang Er was puzzled.
Mason also continued: "Really, you really helped us a lot."
Yu Xiaoman became more and more confused, and just stared blankly at the two police officers.
"The thing is like this." Liu Kai said, "We found the alley you mentioned last time—Qinjiaxiang. After hearing what you said, we suspected that there were ulterior secret transactions going on there from the very beginning. So, our people set up an ambush in Qinjiaxiang, and just last night, Wang Liang was caught by us..."
As if someone had stabbed her back with a knife, Yu Xiaoman suddenly felt a bone-piercing pain in her spine.Now, she still doesn't know why the police arrested Wang Liang.But one thing she understood was that what Wang Liang did violated the law.
"Wang Liang, he..." Her whole body trembled violently, her voice trembled, and she was unable to speak.
"Do you know Rainbow Mountain? It's more than 80 kilometers away from Baiyun. The mountain is deserted and remote except for trees," Mason said.
Yu Xiaoman shook her head after a while. At this moment, her thinking seemed to be frozen, and her reaction was slow and mechanical.
"Several foreigners opened a methamphetamine factory in the jungle of Rainbow Mountain. They smuggled the methamphetamine to Qinjia Lane in Baiyun in various ways, and Wang Liang was in charge of hiding the methamphetamine in Qinjia Lane in the dead of night. I sent the methamphetamine to the train station and handed it over to a train conductor nicknamed Lao Diao on the train bound for Baotou..."
"My God! Drug trafficking is a capital crime." Yu Xiaoman couldn't help shouting, with a look of horror on her face at the same time.
In order to calm her down, the two police officers fell silent at the same time.
"You... who else did you catch in Qinjiaxiang?" After a while, Yu Xiaoman asked as if waking up from a dream.
"There are two other men in the same case, who are harboring criminals." Ma Sen then raised his voice and said, "The important thing is that we took away their drug-making lair, and Rainbow Mountain let us turn it upside down. Xiaoman, You really did a great job."
"By the way, Xiaoman, there is one thing I would like to ask you to explain in detail." Liu Kai's usual serious expression appeared again, "Did you really meet Jiang Meiduo in Qinjiaxiang? "
Suddenly, Yu Xiaoman's thinking became active, and her voice was no longer trembling. On the contrary, her tone sounded sophisticated and mature: "I wanted to tell you a few days ago that I admitted the wrong person that night. I think The woman who arrived was not Jiang Meiduo at all, she was just a woman who looked a bit like Jiang Meiduo."
"Oh, how did you find out that you saw the wrong person?" Liu Kai and Ma Sen asked almost at the same time.
Yu Xiaoman blinked her eyes and tried to pretend that nothing had happened: "It's not easy. I saw the real Jiang Meiduo in the yard that day, and only then did I realize that they were completely two people."
"Oh, so that's the case. Things will be cleared up eventually." Liu Kai said thoughtfully.
"What are you going to do to Wang Liang?" Later, Yu Xiaoman asked vigorously. When she thought of her good friend Wang Bo and Wang Liang's parents who were struggling on the poverty line in Zhaihua Village, Yu Xiaoman felt like a knife was twisting her heart. .What kind of expectations did they have for college student Wang Liang, but what they saw in the end was his son going to the guillotine...
"In the preliminary investigation, Wang Liang was also suspected of killing Wang Jingfang. On the day Wang Jingfang was killed, someone saw Wang Liang coming out of the rose garden. But at the scene, we only got the fingerprints of Liu Liping and Yao Xiuhua. Therefore, further investigation and evidence collection are needed. .”
"Wang Liang killed Wang Jingfang?" Yu Xiaoman shook her head in disbelief. They didn't know each other at all, so how could they be related!
"The case is indeed very complicated, unimaginably complicated. A transnational criminal gang is involved behind this case. This gang does all kinds of crimes, including drug production, drug trafficking, murder and robbery, and cultural relics smuggling... and Wang Jingfang was also dragged into the water by this criminal gang. , he used his power to transfer a large amount of funds to the name of this gang, and this gang opened a bank account for him abroad, saved a large amount of dollars, bought a villa, and issued passports for him and his mistress to go abroad. In fact, Only one step away, he will go abroad with his mistress Liu Liping..."
"What, you said Liu Liping is Wang Jingfang's mistress?"
"Don't you know anything about them?"
"Liu Liping keeps telling me that Wang Jingfang is her cousin and Yao Xiuhua is her cousin."
"Women are sometimes better at disguising than men. No wonder."
Yu Xiaoman was stunned for a while, then suddenly asked: "Have you caught the leader of that gang?"
"Not yet. We want to open the gap from Wang Liang, but he insists that he has never heard the name of the gang leader, let alone met him. He said that he only had one-line contact with the two harboring criminals. Outside of his internal mission, he was told not to inquire about anything not related to him. We analyzed that there are two possibilities. One is that Wang Liang is telling the truth. Come to the front desk; second, there is a regulation within the gang, once caught, no one is allowed to betray anyone, otherwise, the whole family's life will be lost. Wang Liang concealed the truth because of this cruel and inhuman regulation."
"Can you tell me who pushed Wang Liang into the pit of fire?" Yu Xiaoman wanted to know too many things.
"It should be said that he himself. He confessed like this: On the eve of graduation, in order to stay in Baiyun, he went to the railway station to work as a porter. Arrived at Lao Diao. Seeing that he was eager to make money, Lao Diao said that he would introduce him to a business with a lot of money, so he followed what Lao Diao said, and went to Qinjiaxiang..."
Hearing the words of the two police officers, a stone in Yu Xiaoman's heart fell to the ground.So Wang Liang did not mention Jiang Meiduo's name, that is to say, Jiang Meiduo had nothing to do with this matter.However, for some reason, Jiang Meiduo's figure was always swaying in front of her eyes. That figure was moving in the dark Qinjia Lane, unable to get out of her sight for a long time.So she was right. Since the police arrested Wang Liang in Qinjiaxiang, the other person she saw must be Jiang Meiduo.While thinking like this, the scene of Wang Liang coming to Jinyu Villa for the first time flashed in Yu Xiaoman's mind. At that time, she and Wang Liang were walking in the courtyard one after the other, but Jiang Meiduo stopped She asked her about Wang Liang's situation with great interest... At that moment, Jiang Meiduo was talking to her on the surface, but her eyes were always on Wang Liang... Are Jiang Meiduo and Wang Liang the same kind? What's the matter?Maybe they just maintain a lover relationship... Really, Jiang Meiduo has plenty of money, she doesn't need to take risks like the poor boy Wang Liang.And it is very likely that after Wang Liang established a lover relationship with Jiang Meiduo, he would insist on the dignity of a man and never reach out to take Jiang Meiduo's money... I hope that the relationship between Jiang Meiduo and Wang Liang is not more than a lover Jiang Meiduo knew nothing about Wang Liang's criminal behavior.However, why did Jiang Meiduo show up in Qin's Lane that night?As she said, she can have a tryst with whomever she wants, and she can definitely go to Jinyu Villa... Yu Xiaoman didn't dare to think about it anymore, she tried her best to bring her thoughts back, and continued to listen to the two police officers about the case.
"Maybe Wang Liang is telling the truth. I know him well. If he knows who the leader of the gang is, he won't hide it." Yu Xiaoman said suddenly during the interval between the two police officers.Even she didn't understand why she said this, and the two police officers seemed to look at each other in surprise.
The two officers stood up and took their leave.
After the two police officers left, Yu Xiaoman suddenly became nervous.Now, she has no mind to think about Liu Liping and Wang Jingfang, she must calm down and think about her own situation.This time she knew very well that she was lying, and she no longer doubted her eyes—yes, even though she repeatedly denied her guess and wanted to return Jiang Meiduo's innocence, Jiang Meiduo could really escape ?However, she calmed down, and after thinking about it, she still made up her mind never to report Jiang Meiduo to the police. Because of her talkativeness, Wang Liang was already in jail, and Jiang Meiduo would be destroyed because of her again. If the disaster happened, could she live a stable life for the rest of her life?After all, Jiang Meiduo is her benefactor and her best friend in this world. Jiang Meiduo not only extended a helping hand to her when she needed help, but also gave her friendship and maternal love.Since Yu Xiaoman's life, there has never been a woman who has loved and cared about her like this.Therefore, no matter what, she can't avenge her kindness!What's more, she didn't know what Jiang Meiduo did, she just acted on guesswork, she had already made a mistake in front of the police last time, and she must not make a second mistake.She firmly remembered Jiang Meiduo's advice: Be careful when dealing with the police, and don't talk about what you shouldn't. If you talk too much, you will get into trouble.
But what about the police?Yu Xiaoman was in trouble.She knows how powerful the police are. On the surface, the two police officers seem to have given up on questioning her, but in fact they just left her a space to think. The subtext is: Think about it, little girl, and lie to the police. Giving false testimony is also a crime!Also, once the police officers become stern and determined to chase after the end, how long can her endurance last?Could she really grit her teeth and keep her mouth shut?No, she can't do it. She is still young and has never experienced such a complicated thing. Therefore, she can't guarantee whether she can stand up to the facts...
Yu Xiaoman finally thought of running away.She is well aware of her current situation: as long as she is not careful, she will get into big trouble.Therefore, she had to flee Baiyun City before the two police officers questioned her again.
After making this decision, Yu Xiaoman thought of Jiang Meiduo again.Maybe she should inform Jiang Meiduo that Wang Liang has been taken away by the police.Maybe she should remind Jiang Meiduo to go out to avoid the limelight too... But she quickly gave up this idea.It's not that she is worried about the risks of doing so, and she will be charged with "tipping off".It's because she doesn't have any reason to do so.First of all, Jiang Meiduo never admitted any connection with Wang Liang, and secondly, Jiang Meiduo never admitted that she belonged to a certain criminal gang.Just last night, Jiang Meiduo was still living happily.Therefore, what right does Yu Xiaoman have to talk nonsense to Jiang Meiduo based on her own guess?
Yes, there is no need for Yu Xiaoman to tell Jiang Meiduo something that Jiang Meiduo thinks has nothing to do with her.There is no need to reveal the secret of her escape to Jiang Meiduo. In this matter, she does not want to involve anyone. Even if there is any accident, let her bear everything by herself!
However, before she escaped, she had to do one more thing: go to see Qian Chunyang and persuade him to take up the responsibility of taking care of her son.
事不宜迟，当“逃走”这两个字在于小蔓的脑海里一闪现，她的所有注意力便都放在了这上面。她必须想出一个周密的逃跑计划。首先，她把逃走的时间定在今天夜里；逃往的目的地是寨花村，虽然对这个穷乡僻壤她毫无眷恋，但那儿毕竟是她的故乡，有着父母给她留下的三间破草房。凭着对寨花村一草一木的熟悉，万一警察追了来，在自家的地面上，也好周旋。另外，那里还有她最好的朋友王波。去年，她离开故乡时，曾向王波保证还要回到故乡去的。没想到这么快，她就要实现自己的诺言了。她要用这笔钱帮王波完成学业——在王亮身陷囹圄之后，他的家庭也就面临着跟于小蔓当年一样的贫穷窘境了，而在学校里念书的王波的处境比她于小蔓还要艰难得多。因为王波除了背上贫穷的包袱之外，还有一个罪犯哥哥……因此，于小蔓是惟一能帮助王波的人了。末了，于小蔓开始考虑最现实的问题：逃跑的工具。她决定坐出租车逃离此地的想法，来自于阿慧讲的“故事”带给她的灵感。那“故事”中说，一个在夜总会卖淫的妓女挣下了二百万元现钞。当夜总会因开地下赌场被取缔时，这位妓女决定回到自己远在南方的故乡。但如何才能把这二百万元现钞完好无损地带回家，成了一大难题。按说，乘飞机是最安全省时的，可必须要通过安检这一关。一旦在安检时受到怀疑，后果是不堪设想的；而坐火车的麻烦就更大了，她一个弱女子，本来就招人耳目，再提着满满一皮箱钱……考虑到携带巨款的安全性，这位聪明的妓女终于想出了一个周全的办法：选一个可靠的出租车司机，用二万元包租了一辆出租车送她回家。这样一来，除了出租车司机之外，她可以不同任何人打交道，也就不用为那满满一皮箱钱担惊受怕了……于小蔓很快地从抽屉里翻出了不久前出租车司机标兵大李师傅送给她的名片，又记起了去年秋天阿慧带她去法宝超市时，经过的那个荒草丛生的国贸商厦后门。于是，她便在大李师傅的传呼机上留言：请于十二点零五分到国贸商厦后门的广告牌下去见一个人。
在做完这些事情之后，于小蔓靠在沙发上休息了一会儿，便又开始忙碌起来。她懒得上楼去收拾那些旧衣服，再说，这样的仓皇逃走，带着大包小包的，也不方便。她惟一想带走的便是那只放在沙发下面的小红皮箱。
她从沙发下面拖出那只小红皮箱，从中取出二十捆钞票，用一张旧报纸包好了，放进平时用来买菜的尼龙袋里——这是她留给超超的生活费。尔后，她拨通了钱春阳家的电话。
因刘丽萍的案子，同样被警方限制外出的钱春阳在电话响过三声之后，就拿起了话筒。
“喂，钱哥，我是于小蔓。”
“哦，是你。有什么事吗？”电话那边传来钱春阳一如既往地慵懒的且冷冷的声音。
“我想去你那儿一趟。”
“你到我这儿来干什么？”
“有一件事我必须当面跟你说清楚。”
“你和我之间能有什么事？”
于小蔓见他的态度如此冷淡，就不得不挑明了：“是关于你儿子超超的事情。”
“我儿子超——超？滚他妈的蛋，那个刘丽萍跟王景方生下的野种和我有什么关系！”
电话“啪”地一声给挂上了。
于小蔓这才如梦方醒。原来可怜的超超是刘丽萍和王景方的私生子啊！难怪刘丽萍要在镇上的小医院生下这个孩子？难怪她要把这个孩子放在没有血缘关系的姐姐家抚养？
在明白了事情的真相后，于小蔓随之打定主意，等自己在寨花村那边安顿好后，就到福阳镇把超超接走，像刘丽萍希望的那样，担负起照顾这个孩子的责任。是的，他的父母有罪，可孩子是没有罪的，在这个世界上，除了她于小蔓，恐怕没有第二个人会真心对待这个孩子了。
what else can we do?于小蔓只好把那二十万元现钞重新装进小红皮箱里。在准备关上皮箱盖的那一刻，出于分门别类的缘故，她把江梅朵送她的那枚戒指也放在了箱内，却从中取出了刘丽萍留给她的那封信。她满怀深情地将信重读了一遍，然后装进了贴身的衣袋里。她把小红皮箱按原样盖好，放在手里掂了掂，又放回到沙发下面。尔后，她用眼睛搜索着整个屋子，看还落下了什么重要的东西。猛地，她记起了吴婧送给她的那张贺年卡。这些天来，在恐惧中度过的她，还是第一次想起这张贺年卡，可当她的目光落在茶几上时，却发现那上面已经空了。
“该死的，又是姚秀花干的好事！”她不假思索地在心里骂了一句。
接下来的时间过得飞快。十二时零五分，于小蔓按时赶到国贸大厦后门的广告牌下去同出租车司机大李师傅谈判。
回到家里后，整整一个下午，她都一动不动地偎在沙发上。有好几次，她听见田姐在楼外的脚步声，她很想走出门对田姐说点什么。她是应该向田姐告个别的，在来白云市的一年多里，田姐是她最可信赖的人，这个普普通通的城市女人，尽管没有在物质上给予于小蔓半点帮助，但她却给了于小蔓平等和尊重，让于小蔓这个乡下女孩从她那里找到了自信。于小蔓这一走，也许今生今世都不能再和田姐见面了。可她不能去跟田姐告别，她不想因为自己给田姐增添不必要的麻烦。与警察打交道的这些日子里，让她深知了警察的厉害，毫无疑问，她逃走后，警察肯定要找田姐和门口的保安问话。而对一个毫不知情的人，警察也就没有必要浪费口舌了。
在这一刻，她还想到了那两个警官——刘凯和马森。尽管，从某种意义上说，他们应该算是她的对立面，他们之间是警察和嫌疑人的关系。可于小蔓仍不得不承认这两个人是好人，是真心想帮助她的人。现在，她就这么不明不白地走了，的确有些对不住他们，然而，除了这条路，她是别无选择的。
晚上七点整——比平日去江梅朵家睡觉的时间提前了半个小时，于小蔓提着那只装有巨款、戒指的小红皮箱，坐上了大李师傅的出租车……
