"But Zhang Guanghui's fingerprints were wiped off." Huo Yan pointed out the most critical point.
Ning Shuyi is thoughtful.
"Thinking about it, there is another detail that is worth pondering." She was silent for a while and then said to Huo Yan, "Do you remember the unused cement piled up at the crime scene? There is a lot left!
If Chang Junchao originally wanted to kill two people, stuff them into the bathtub and fill it with cement, it seems that he did not need to buy so much, and he could not have expected in advance that a habitual thief would appear.
In the past two days, I also called my dad and asked him how much cement would be needed to build a new bathtub according to the dimensions of the crime scene.
The amount my dad estimated for me was much less than the one at the crime scene, and there was no need to use that high hardness.
Furthermore, it makes no sense for a person who wants to rebuild a pool to buy only cement instead of bricks.
So I'm thinking that the most reasonable explanation is that he originally planned to kill Deng Qingrong and bury the body with cement, which would naturally require more cement.
Unexpectedly, he was bumped into by a habitual thief who broke into houses, and he had no choice but to kill and silence him. It happened that the habitual thief also had scars on his back, which gave him the idea of pretending to destroy the family.
In this way, the bathtub that was originally filled with one person was now filled with two people. The habitual thief was originally lean, but recently gained weight, and his figure was more similar to Chang Junchao, so that after burying the two corpses, the cement was not used up. "
Huo Yan nodded, expressing his agreement with Ning Shuyi's speculation.
But Ning Shuyi still had a confused expression: "But why did Chang Junchao kill Deng Qingrong?
For so many years, he has always been submissive, taking care of Deng Qingrong and Chang Rong, and being a filial son. It can be confirmed from the mouths of the old neighbors at the two addresses that he has no rebellious feelings.
He is an adult male with the ability to live. Judging from the fact that he lived a normal life alone after Deng Qingrong left home, he has no physical or mental dependence on Deng Qingrong.
If it was because of his mother's extreme control that he felt suffocated, he could choose to separate, or do what many teenagers do - run away from home!
No matter which method is used, the cost is much lower than killing people, right?
What drove him to make such an extreme choice? "
"It's the kind of pain that comes from numb despair, when a glimmer of hope suddenly ignites, but then the hope is quickly shattered again," Huo Yan said.
His tone sounded very calm, but something seemed to be surging in his eyes.
It was a complex emotion. Ning Shuyi saw it and couldn't interpret it for a while, so he chose not to touch it.
"Tell me more about it." She nodded to Huo Yan.
"In the morning at Zhang Guanghui's house, Zhang Guanghui mentioned that when she went to argue with Deng Qingrong, some problems could be seen in Chang Junchao's behavior. It was obvious that over the years, in the face of Deng Qingrong's various tossings, he had used him as a pension tool. The move was very painful for him.
And Deng Qingrong himself does not seem to be particularly satisfied with his son. Otherwise, he would not have known that his biological daughter Zhang Guanghui, who had been abandoned for thirty years, was also in W City. He would have tried every means to harass him, hoping to get some from his biological daughter. Certain benefits.
She even verbally humiliated her son mercilessly in front of her own daughter. "
Ning Shuyi was also deeply impressed by this detail mentioned by Zhang Guanghui. Although she did not have this experience in the environment where she grew up, the feeling of being scolded by her parents in front of others, and that she had no future, is all the same when she thinks about it. Very depressing and painful.
"The woman we helped before who was domestically abused, Wang Hongzhen, also mentioned that after Chang Rong was seriously ill and Deng Qingrong packed up and left home alone, until Chang Rong passed away, Chang Junchao dealt with him alone. Chang Junchao was very calm throughout the whole process of his father's funeral.
From the beginning to the end, there was no resentment towards my mother's departure. It could even be said that everything was business as usual without being affected at all.
I don't think this is a sign of simple resignation. His ability to defend Zhang Guanghui and argue with his mother shows that he is not a person who is 100% submissive to Deng Qingrong's values and has his own ability to distinguish right from wrong.
In this case, Deng Qingrong abandoned her son and seriously ill husband and left alone for more than half a year. Chang Junchao did not experience any mood swings from beginning to end, and his life continued as usual, and he did not find anyone to inquire about Deng Qingrong's whereabouts. I think this It shows that he does not reject such a situation in his heart, and even likes it very much. "
Ning Shuyi sighed: "Deng Qingrong is at home, and he has to take care of two people. With Deng Qingrong gone, he only has to take care of a father who is seriously injured in bed and has no way to choose. Maybe he will feel a lot more relaxed.
Originally, he didn't seem to have received any care and attention from his mother, so no matter where Deng Qingrong went, as long as he left this home, it might be a relief for him?
After all, a mother who would take the initiative to tell neighbors about her son's physical defects...may indeed be considered a source of mental torture! "
"It's a pity that Deng Qingrong came back after that." Huo Yan exhaled slowly, as if something was accumulating in his chest, "Just when Chang Junchao rekindled the hope of living a good life, Deng Qingrong Back again.
His life suddenly returned to its previous state, which was most likely the turning point that led to his eventual collapse. "
"I could bear it for twenty or thirty years before, so why can't I stand it anymore after my mother ran away and came back?" Ning Shuyi was a little confused.
"Have you ever been hungry?" Huo Yan asked Ning Shuyi.
Ning Shuyi shrugged and shook his head.
For such an answer, Huo Yan was obviously not surprised at all. After all, he had been to Ning Shuyi's house. Regardless of her family's financial conditions or the care and love of Ning's father and mother for their children, it was absolutely impossible. He is the kind of person who lets his children starve and freeze because of poor care.
"Hungry is actually not a particularly difficult thing." Huo Yan's tone sounded very calm, without any emotion, "If you have been hungry from the beginning and have always maintained a state of enduring hunger, , people can bear it. As long as they are hungry, they will not collapse even if they are half hungry every day.
But if at this time, this person is suddenly given a full meal every meal every day, and after a while, the person who has adapted to eating and drinking every day is suddenly thrown back into an environment of starvation... …
Do you think he can hold on as well as he did before? "
