Zhao Yi.
When he first heard this name, Wen Yiting's heart was still in a mess.
The father in his mind is his adoptive father who has always been modest and elegant, and his mother, who is a teacher, also makes him feel like he has grown up in an ivory tower since he was a child. When he first entered the society, he even felt ignorant and unaccustomed. But in the concept of family alone, the father seems to be a mature and stable person who can bear heavy burdens.
It’s just that Zhao Yi is completely different.
After saying this name, Mother Wen seemed to temporarily return to her senses, becoming more like an ordinary person, and finally recognized the child in front of her on her own - although the real reason may lie in Wen Yiting's countless perseverances before this. , and finally left a deep mark on her already confused brain.
According to her, Zhao Yi is a very special person. To a confused and innocent girl, he is a mature man who is extremely attractive and can be as cool as a boy at the same time.
A complex mystery and a loyal helper.
An accidental help led them to meet. Compared with the experienced and less enthusiastic Zhao Yi, a young girl's first love is always eager and sincere. Except when the man knows nothing about another special situation, Zhao Yi... He broke up and left suddenly with the same "work transfer reason" as always. This man will always be an almost perfect boyfriend in the eyes of the old girl.
But Wen Yiting didn't understand, and found it strange that he was pretending to go along with it just to reassure his biological mother who was intoxicated in memories. Instead, what emerged in her heart was anger and resentment - both before and now.
What he was annoyed about was not his mother's lack of action and lack of planning for her life that led to such a tragic end - the tragic situation he had witnessed intermittently for many years had made it difficult for him to have any negative feedback on this lonely and sad middle-aged woman, just like facing A disabled person with no arms and legs, no matter how much he or she howls in pain, will find it difficult to have emotions other than sadness.
The other puzzling party in the incident is Zhao Yi, who left suddenly.
His departure indirectly led to all the disasters. Although according to the mother's still defensive statement, this man knew nothing about the facts and his departure was only due to work, but the results and incentives were indeed the same.
Of course, the doubts are clearer now. At first, he didn't know what this man meant and whether the job transfer was a lie. But now Zhao Yi himself said that leaving was just a habit like settling in or leaving in time during the journey.
Although it is difficult to imagine, it is indeed a unique way of life and can be explained.
"So it was because of this that you decided to contact him." Liang An clarified the situation, "And then for some reason, you decided to use such a special situation to understand and even seek revenge on him? The reason is... "
"When I think about it now, I was plotted from the beginning." Wen Yiting smiled bitterly, "What kind of experiment, what kind of small society, according to the moral standards of today's society, it is nonsense to be approved to do such a thing and involve children. .”
Liang An smacked his lips, feeling that this person might have thought more than he thought, and there were no fewer steps to consider.
It's just that the people he faced gave more and more comprehensive reasons.
It was even enough for Wen Yiting, who had thought so carefully and thoughtfully, to believe it from the beginning and choose to cooperate with unknown people on a small scale until he realized that contact was cut off and he was mixed in the crowd. It was a stabilizer that had to continue to cope with the situation, and it was also a situation. The embarrassing "ghost".
...Or according to Liang An's more rigorous perspective, he should be one of the insiders.
"Later I started to look for Zhao Yi. I just tried it myself and asked on the ground, but there was no result. Later, I didn't have much free time, so I probably hired a few people to search online, and used other excuses to find a person named Zhao Yi. people."
"What excuse?" Since he mentioned it like this, Liang An asked casually.
"I won't pay back the money I owe."
...Explained from the perspective of alimony, this can really be regarded as the truth.
Even if Wen Yiting's biological mother did not do anything and did not dare to come forward, her parents were still worried about her. Naturally, they traveled all over the country and asked everywhere in order to find their daughter's boyfriend whom they had never met. But this was of no help. Zhao Yi's habits meant that he left no trace. Even his closest girlfriend only knew his name and the place where they dated at that time, let alone others.
And they also have concerns. Pregnancy before marriage is, after all, a fact that poor families who already live a hard life dare not disclose. The girl who is about to be a mother has also lived in this community for more than a year. Although she has to move back to live with her parents because of her child, she also begs her parents not to tell the truth when asked, because she does not want her scandal to spread among her friends and this community. Community.
So in the eyes of most close friends, the girl who left just changed her job and went to another place - which happened to be very similar to Zhao Yi's excuse for leaving, and her parents' suspicious questions were just minor episode.
Decades later, even if they could open up and raise the topic more accurately, they wouldn't quite remember the story of that girl and her boyfriend.
Time is the most stubborn tool for committing crimes. It consumes a person and leaves the building empty, and it also manipulates the memory.
"This is another mistake." Wen Yiting raised the corner of his mouth, "Even if the person involved is not my biological mother, I will feel that such a compromise will not have good results, especially after hearing what Zhao Yi said. If they had told the landlord back then Once we know the facts clearly and ask him to pay attention to whether the previous tenant will come back and leave his mailing address, maybe this matter will not go unsolved."
But it was too late.
"Then, what happened to you?" Liang An narrowed his eyes.
This is the real topic.
"A man came to me and said that he knew a man named Zhao Yi who had been to the place I mentioned. He said that Zhao Yi was his experimental subject. He signed an agreement a few years ago and had such an experiment to do."
"Male or female?"
Wen Yiting shook his head, "The voice sounds like a man's, and his attitude is very sincere and professional, but unfortunately, based on his voice and even his appearance, he doesn't sound like anyone on the island."
Another unknown accomplice who may not even be on the island?
Liang An frowned, this was an unexpected part.
Not being on the island means that he is not under the observation of others, which means he can make other actions, including discovering what he is doing now.
But he has also confirmed that at least there is no high-tech monitoring equipment on the island now. Without circuit layout, no one can grasp the overall situation through remote technological means.
"Then I was pulled onto the pirate ship. Now that I think about it, the big reason is that he took advantage of my guilt." Wen Yiting was very sober and sighed, "After he understood the truth about what I said, he felt very embarrassed. Because we have waited several years for the steps of signing the agreement not to affect the experimental results, we cannot have contact with the experimental subjects beforehand."
"When was that?"
Wen Yiting thought about it for a moment and hesitated, "Actually, it was a while ago... about half a month before my mother died. I was actually quite busy at that time, not only with work, but also because she was critically ill and needed to take as much time as possible. Time will at least accompany her through the last journey of her life. If it weren’t for her physical condition not allowing it, I would at least find an excuse to contact her and meet her.”
