Chapter 8 fourth quarter

On the cement floor in front of the Xiaozhuo store, there was an old man with dirty work clothes and white hair sweeping the floor, with a gloomy expression.As I approached, he stopped and looked at me.I first apologized for the surprise visit, and then asked: "is the boss around?" In a few seconds, the other party narrowed his eyes, and exhaled a powerless breath from his half-open mouth. "There is no boss or boss... There is no one else here except me." Hearing this sentence, my heart beat wildly.The first discoverer of the murder case, the heir of a small builder, was a plasterer who was nearly thirty years old at the time.

"I just disturbed □□'s house, and saw the toolbox with Guibao number on the entrance." "Oh, today and tomorrow, I'm going over there to repair the door frame." The old man looked straight at me with a look of "what's wrong with this".Although he was small, he had thick half-white eyebrows and a straight nose. He must have been quite handsome when he was young. "Was that family your customer before?" "Yes, they have taken great care of us from the previous generation." "Forty-three years ago too?" The old man did not answer, but his face was tense, and his eyes became as if he was looking at kitchen waste.His attitude startled me, and my heart skipped a beat inside my rib cage.

"Could it be that you are..." "Young man, although I don't know who you are," the old gentleman interrupted me flatly, "but I won't reveal anything." The old man lowered his head and swept the floor again.Sure enough, it was obvious that I shot at the bird indiscriminately, so as not to die, I hit the red heart.Hard as it is to believe, it seems true.He was the first discoverer of the tragedy 43 years ago, the one who broke the window of the living room to stop S from committing suicide. "There's something I want you to look at." It wouldn't be a joke if we were shut down like before, so I cut to the chase and took the chair legs out of the backpack.I was so excited that my breath was short of breath, and my fingertips trembled slightly.

"This is a message left by Mr. S when he was serving his sentence. I happened to find it this morning." The old man turned his head at an astonishing speed, and lowered his eyes slightly to stare at the foot of the chair.I handed out the chair leg, and the old man took it with one hand, staring at the section with his mouth tightly pressed.When he read somewhere, he hissed instantly and took a short breath.But as if he didn't want to be discovered by me, he coughed a few times deliberately to clear phlegm. "Father is... corpse... mother is... big." For a while, the old gentleman stared at those words for nearly thirty seconds, no, about a minute.There was a faint sound of breathing like feather insects flapping from the back of his throat, and finally he breathed out impatiently, and pushed the leg of the chair to me with a puzzled expression.

"Just random scribbling." However, I didn't take it. "That word is not 'big'." The old man stared at me with "what else?" eyes. "It says 'dog'." This was just discovered in front of Koukou's house.When I looked at the section of the chair leg from various angles, I saw things that I hadn't seen before. There is a point to the upper right of "big".Because the chair has been used for a long time, the section is worn by the weight of the human body, making it difficult to see that point. Dog, bitch は dog (mother is a dog).

Having said that, I'm still at a loss as to what the word "dog" stands for. The old gentleman looked down at the leg of the chair in his hand for a long time.The light from the lightbulb hanging from the ceiling made him look like a tree that had grown there long ago.Finally, the old gentleman said without raising his head: "This...can you give it to me?" I hesitated, but nodded in agreement.So, the old man also nodded to me.I imagined the moment when the old gentleman thanked him and explained the meaning of the message.Unexpectedly, the development of the situation was beyond my expectation.

"May I ask you to go back?" The old man continued with his back to me. "I'm sorry to trouble you to make this trip." "Hey, please wait a minute." It's too much, how can I just go back like this.Even if you drive me away, I won't leave, I don't want to. "What is the purpose of this message? What does 'the father is a corpse and the mother is a dog' imply? What exactly did I find?" "If you figure it out...you can't do anything about it." Compared to the voice, it was more like words sounding from the depths of the throat.The old man knows, he must know the meaning of the message I found.

"Old man, you are the person related to the S family's murder case. I checked on the Internet, and you are the first person who discovered the Tsubaki tragedy." The answer to me was a deflated snort.The old man turned his back halfway to me, slowly stroking the section of the chair leg.Rope-like veins emerged from the bony backs of his hands. "As I mentioned just now, I just visited Mr. S's house. I saw Mr. S's younger sister. She is the younger sister who survived the murder forty-three years ago, right? She is very thin and sits in a wheelchair..." "There's... bad stuff in her head."

The old gentleman responded suddenly. "It's natural, poor thing. She's been that way since she was little." I can't help but speechless.It turns out that S's younger sister was born with a brain defect? "Maybe the kid carried it all." The old man's tone was extremely tired. "Burden...carry what?" I asked, but the old gentleman didn't look up.Even so, he still replied softly. "The sin of a dog." sin of dogs. dog.The mother is a dog. I took a step closer to the old gentleman's back. "Please tell me. Please tell me what is going on? I think it is fate, my fate."

"destiny?" The old man turned his head slightly, as if he was confused when he heard an unfamiliar word.I couldn't think of any other way, so I had to express my true heart. "Yes. This morning, I happened to overturn with the chair at home, like a German tumble. I found a message on the foot of the chair that fell off. This chair made by Mr. S when he was in prison caught my attention. , I checked a lot of information on the Internet, and then came here alone. Although I don’t know how to explain it, I feel that I must figure it out. If you don’t find out the crime committed by Mr. S, you can’t go back.”

The old man probably couldn't understand my mood.It's no wonder that even I don't quite understand myself.Nevertheless, the old gentleman finally spoke.Whether it was my incoherent entreaties that moved him, or whether he was determined to send me away, is unknown. The old gentleman's explanation was not long.No, that's not really an explanation at all, it's just fragmented and vague words. "That's because, boy, that person..." The old gentleman turned suddenly to me. "That person behaves like a dog." He held his cheeks as if he was barely twisting a hard object, and then his upper body twitched like a lung lobe, laughing silently.Only a pair of pus-like pupils looked at me without the slightest smile, with sticky tears dripping from the corners of the eyes.In an instant, the background disappeared, and the old man stood in front of me as if he had been cut out alone. "From the time she got married...I discovered...only I discovered...her purpose..." He seemed to be deliberately suppressing his emotions, and his breath was heavy. "Purpose?" At the moment, a sentence on the website suddenly appeared in my mind: S is a famous boy.In the next second, something buzzed in his mind.I stared at the leg of the chair held by the old man with one hand, carefully reading every word. The right half of the word "妹" in the second line is a bit different, not the original "Wei", the bottom end of the vertical line is slightly raised, and there is a diagonal line on the right side of the upper horizontal line connecting to the central part.Why is that?Why does this word become like that?I just want to come up with an answer. After engraving S: I changed my mind and changed it to "sister".Thinking about it again, I felt something was wrong when I first saw this line. Calling "my sister" always feels a bit unnatural.Wouldn't it be good to say "sister"?So, which word was engraved originally? What is written under "sister"?Re-examined with this idea in mind, the answer soon appeared "zi".The first engraved is "zi".Son, I が son (my son). The father's remarried object gave birth to a baby, which S called "my son". The father is a corpse and the mother is a dog. Doesn't the meaning of corpse mean no opinion?Isn't it the father who knows everything but keeps silent?With no job and dependent on his new wife, his father was silent.No, perhaps more than economic considerations.Yes, and the body.Physiology is also one of the reasons, right? S's father suffered a lower body injury in a boiler accident. Could it be that he has lost his masculine instincts, even to an obvious degree?That's why S destroyed part of the body to avoid the exposure of his father's flaws after the incident.Otherwise, what will be the consequences?The fact that he was not the baby's biological father would come to light. Yes, the baby is S's daughter.The House of the Dog, the House of the Beast. From the very beginning, Mrs. Y coveted the young and handsome S before marrying his father.She took a fancy to S's body, and she knew very well that even if her husband noticed it, she would not dare to say anything. What kind of mood did S have when he had sex with his father's marriage partner?From the sentence "a mother is a dog", it can be seen that S is forced, and one can imagine how painful and troubled he is.The other party was married to his biological father, and it was only natural that S was unwilling.But S couldn't refuse, because there was still life to take care of.If he refused, he, his grandmother and his father would all be on the streets. After that, the stepmother became pregnant, and the baby was born with a poor brain disability.In S's eyes, it must be the birth mark of having a relationship with a dog, and his heart finally broke down.The small collapses that had been accumulating in his mind before caused a huge collapse on a winter morning forty-three years ago, making him completely lose his mind. S kills his mother who looks like a dog and his father who looks like a corpse.According to the police investigation, S first attacked the grandmother.Elderly grandmother, frail grandmother. S is probably unwilling to raise his grandmother who grew up, witnessing the purgatory he is about to describe. "She... tired of me..." The old man's lower eyelid trembled on one side, his eyes were as empty as if covered with a film, and he muttered to himself.Every time a word is uttered, the strength seems to be gradually lost. I see. Before Mrs. Y got married, the old man had a relationship with her.When he came in and out of her mother's house. "I couldn't believe that she would marry someone like that...but, as soon as I saw that son, I knew right away. He looks...really beautiful..." The old gentleman has long known that Mrs. Y prefers young men. "That was a long time ago... a long, long time ago..." Halfway through the speech, the old gentleman turned his faint eyes to me. "Forget it." Then, gently picking up the chair legs, he asked if I could burn them.I answer it doesn't matter.
