"Those people asked my mother-in-law to match them."
Wang Xuechan looked at Zhou Zhimo and said, "What if she fails to match?"
"Will my husband and Jiaojiao need to go to the hospital for matching soon after?"
"How did they find out about their origins?"
"Isn't it because I went to the hospital to get a matching match that I found out that I wasn't my biological child?"
Wang Xuechan shed tears, regained her composure, and continued: "I won't let Jiaojiao match them."
Zhou Zhimo couldn't understand her thinking: "If you really don't want your daughter to save people, you don't have to go."
"Why would you risk killing your mother-in-law?"
"Even if she is gone, Yang Chenxi's family may still find your husband and daughter and beg them to save her."
Wang Xuechan covered her face in pain, lowered her head and cried.
After a moment, she raised her head: "I won't let Jiaojiao go."
"If she goes, she won't succeed."
"I can't let my daughter suffer the same injustice as I did. If the truth comes out, Jiaojiao will be tortured to death by my mother-in-law."
"I won't let her have the chance to do this to my daughter..."
After crying, Wang Xuechan sat on the chair in a daze, calmed down, and continued to talk.
"When I first married Tang Shouren, my mother-in-law didn't look down on me at all and felt that I was superior to her family."
"I've been keeping a low profile, hoping to gain her approval."
"I've been married for a year and my stomach still hasn't moved."
"I'm not popular to begin with, but my mother-in-law doesn't like me even more."
"My father-in-law has been obedient to her all his life, and the most he has done is fight with her."
"Tang Shouren is also a filial person, so naturally he doesn't dare to contradict his mother."
"Just like that, I became more and more frightened."
"Tang Shouren's unit has the opportunity to go out to study. After half a year, the salary can be raised after returning."
"My parents-in-law supported him to go. After he left, I was even more afraid of going home from get off work."
"If I don't speak, my mother-in-law thinks I'm not enthusiastic about them."
"I spoke, but I was picked on everywhere."
Wang Xuechan straightened her hair on her forehead and continued: "It was at that time that I met He Yanchang."
Zhou Zhimo searched in his mind: This name is so familiar!
Wang Xuechan said: "He is humorous, chic and decent, and can always easily stir people's hearts."
"He Yanchang was doing business in the mines and made a lot of money, and he was very generous."
“Back then, cabaret was popular, with singing and dancing.”
"I gradually got together with him, and after get off work, I was no longer in a hurry to go home and please my parents-in-law."
"Later, I found that I fell in love with that kind of life, full of passion and happiness."
"At that time, Tang Shouren went out to study, which ended early, and he came back."
"After careful consideration, I still returned to my family and was reluctant to divorce."
"He Yanchang is rich, but he is also very carefree."
"In comparison, Tang Shouren is more stable. The biggest conflict between us is my mother-in-law, but she will always grow old."
Wang Xuechan swallowed her saliva and continued: "Soon after, I was found to be pregnant."
"My mother-in-law finally smiled and stopped being picky about me."
"But I feel very uneasy. I don't know whether that child is Tang Shouren's or He Yanchang's."
"I wanted to abort the child, but I was worried that if I couldn't get pregnant again, I would have to go back to my old life."
"Just like that, day by day passed."
"Tang Shouren is back, and I am pregnant, so I will not go to the dance hall or see He Yanchang."
"One day, he suddenly appeared in the unit and asked me to come out."
"I was afraid that more people would know about it and it would reach my mother-in-law's ears, so I hurriedly followed him and left."
"He took me to his home, and when we got to the room, he asked me: Whose child is it?"
"I told him vigilantly not to act recklessly."
"He touched his slightly swollen belly and said that was his child and he would take it back."
"I was very scared, but he found it very interesting, like a cat and a mouse."
"I couldn't stand it anymore, so I drugged the wine he drank while he was taking a shower."
"He fainted quickly, and I decided to cut off his head..."
Wang Xuechan raised her head slightly, closed her eyes, pursed her lips tightly, and stopped talking.
After hearing this, Zhou Zhimo finally remembered where he had seen this name, He Yanchang.
He stood up and whispered to his colleagues: "You guys watch, I'm going out for a while."
Zhou Zhimo was impatient and wanted to look through the previous information.
He searched on the computer and finally found He Yanchang's case among the old cases. It had been more than 20 years ago.
In the reference room, the thick stack of information was all yellowed and the footers were rolled up.
Zhou Zhimo didn't care much and returned to the office with the information. The desk was full of documents.
"On the afternoon of August 13, 1999, He Yanchang was found dead in his newly purchased house in the city."
"The head of the deceased was cut off, and the body was wrapped in sheets and thrown under the bed."
"After many searches, the head of the deceased was never found."
The following information is about the clues that have been investigated over the years.
Zhou Zhimo looked through it carefully and found that it matched what Wang Xuechan said. He Yanchang's head was cut off and his whereabouts have never been found.
This incident once spread panic in the small town.
He Yanchang's hometown is in Maple Bay, where bamboo is abundant.
A few days after the incident, news reached my hometown that someone saw a bamboo in the bamboo forest with words carved on it: "He Yanchang died on August 11, 1999."
Everyone began to spread rumors: "He Yanchang is rich and romantic. Someone wants to kill him for revenge. It was predicted in advance."
There is also a rumor that: "When a person dies, the last person he saw will be left in his eyes, and the murderer can be seen."
Zhou Zhimo is a local, and he happened to be at home during the summer vacation at that time, so he still has memories of this matter.
According to the information, the women who interviewed He Yanchang at that time were all ruled out as suspects.
There was only one woman from her hometown, Li Yunxiu, who had a bold style. Every time she rode a borrowed bicycle into the city, she would go to He Yanchang and store the bike at his residence.
After being taken away by the police, Li Yunxiu admitted that she had indeed stored her bicycle on the 10th.
At that time, there was no surveillance and no further clues could be found.
The medical examiner is not very sure about He Yanchang's time of death.
However, there was a "prophecy" from the bamboo forest in her hometown, and Li Yunxiu went to He Yanchang's house again, so she became very suspicious.
However, after repeated investigations, Li Yunxiu was detained for five days without food or water, and did not admit that he had committed the murder.
Later, he was released.
Zhou Zhimo looked through the information, recalled the incident, and finally got it right.
The He Yanchang that Wang Xuechan was talking about just now is this unsolved case from more than 20 years ago...
