Grocery Store No.514

"My father left, and my mother did not last for two years, so she also followed. My brother and sister-in-law thought that our mother and daughter were dead stars, so they broke up with us. It can be said that I and Pingping It’s really dependent on each other.” Ma Hongmei paused for a while and said, “Although life has been hard, Pingping is a sensible and hard-working child. From elementary school to high school, her grades are top-notch in the school. That year, Pingping’s college entrance examination results were down. Later, she said that she wanted to study journalism at Hwaseong University, but I disagreed at first, and wanted her to study at Lancheng University, which was close to home, so I could take care of her easily. But she said that Hwaseong University's journalism department is among the best in the country , she went to study there, and after graduation, she was better than students in ordinary universities. I hesitated for a long time, but for Pingping's future life, I still agreed. If I had known what happened in the future, even if the store was closed, I would have I'll go with her."

Ma Hongmei's voice was a little choked, Ling Huaan didn't know the facts, so she couldn't say anything, she just found the tissue on the table and handed it to her, saying, "What happened after that?"

"Thank you." Ma Hongmei took out a tissue, wiped the corners of her eyes, and said, "At that time, I rented a store in the county town and sold some hand-made snacks. The business was good. All the expenses depend on it, so I can't accompany her to Hwaseong. Pingping is very good. Every night at 6 o'clock, she will make a video call to me on time, tell me what happened to her in the day, and chat with me. Let me know that she can take good care of herself. She also introduced me to her new classmates and her best friend."

"This friend is Lin Fanglu, right?"

"Yes. At that time, the relationship between Pingping and Lin Fanglu was really good, and they really regarded her as a good friend. In addition, Lin Fanglu's family conditions were superior, and she usually took great care of Pingping. I also I am very grateful to her, every time Pingping starts school, I will ask her to bring more snacks to Lin Fanglu, and I almost regard her as another daughter."

Seeing that Ma Hongmei stopped, Ling Huaan asked aloud, "The relationship between them broke down in the second semester of their senior year. What's the reason?"

"Because of the graduation thesis." Ma Hongmei's tone was full of resentment, and said: "As graduation is approaching, Lin Fanglu has no time to write her graduation thesis because she is busy in love. She hadn't conceived yet, but Pingping had already written it. She silently submitted Pingping's graduation thesis, and after submitting it, she felt uneasy and told Pingping about it. The relationship between the two of them concealed this matter. Fortunately, when Pingping wrote her graduation thesis, she wrote two different entry points, but it did not cause any consequences. It was just because of this incident that the relationship between the two broke up. ."

"And then?"

"The two graduated successfully, Pingping chose to work, and Lin Fanglu chose to study, and the two completely cut off contact. After that, Pingping became an entertainment reporter in a media company, although she was not happy. , but in order to make my life better, she still did it for two years. One day two years later, Pingping called me and said that Hwaseong TV was recruiting journalists and she wanted to try it. I know how to do it. It has always been Pingping's dream to be a journalist, so I support her very much. Pingping submitted a letter of resignation to the original company, and after half a month, she concentrated on preparing for the interview."

"These Jiang teams told me that because there were too many interviews at that time, Hwaseong TV station prepared a special program to record the selection process, and the person who finally won the championship, Then you have the qualification to join the TV station. And the popular candidates at that time were Ma Qiuping and Lin Fanglu, right?"

"Yes. Pingping said that there were hundreds of people who participated in the interview at that time. She and Lin Fanglu were top-notch. They had already decided to choose from them, but the deputy director of the TV station at that time was for the ratings , deliberately made this recruitment into a brand new variety show. They called those who were eliminated back to record the show and gave them a chance to show their faces in front of the public. In fact, they all knew in their hearts that Pingping and Lin Fanglu were them. default choice."

"It is said that Lin Fanglu suddenly withdrew from the competition during the finals. What's going on?"

"Because of the graduation thesis, Lin Fanglu has a guilty conscience and is afraid that she will be exposed by Pingping, then her image will be finished, not to mention Huacheng TV station, even those small TV stations will not use her either. That's why she withdrew in the final."

"Ma Qiuping won the competition and successfully joined Hwaseong TV Station. She was supposed to be very popular at the time, so she should be reused by the TV station. Why did she resign after less than half a year?" Ling Huaan asked in his mind doubts.

"After the show, under the deliberate packaging of the TV station, Pingping did become popular for a while, taking endorsements, shooting commercials, and even participating in various variety shows. In this way, Pingping became more and more popular. There are more and more occasions, and most of the occasions attended are banquets held by the rich, and they have gradually understood some unspoken rules in this circle. Those who look bright and beautiful stars, in the eyes of the powerful and rich, It is a play that can be played at will. Pingping is a good girl with a clean body. She refuses to accept this kind of deal, and she also dislikes this kind of work atmosphere very much. After she made it clear that she would not accept it, her work gradually decreased. Even in just one month, she lost her job, and the TV station picked up a new star again. At that time, Pingping knew that she had been abandoned. She told me these things exactly, and I affirmed her It was better to persuade her to resign, even if she went home to run a small shop with me, rather than being wronged there.”

"And then what happened?"

"Later Pingping decided to resign, and said she would go home in half a month at most, but..." Ma Hongmei's voice was a little choked, she took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "3014 On January 24th, I remember clearly that day. I got up early to buy breakfast, and when I opened the door, I found a person sitting on the stairs at the door. When I looked closely, it was actually Pingping. She raised her head and looked at me with tears in her eyes... the corner of her eyes, The corners of the mouth were bruised, there were obvious slap prints on both cheeks, and the whole face was swollen."

Ma Hongmei choked again and stopped, Ling Huaan didn't speak, just waited quietly.

Ma Hongmei wiped away her tears, then continued after a while: "I was terrified at the time, so I took her home and asked her what was going on, but she just cried, didn't When I spoke, I was so anxious that I cried with her. After a while, she stood up and said she was going to take a bath. When I saw her calm down, I put the water in for her to wash. As soon as she entered, she locked the door and I waited. I didn't see her come out for a long time. I panicked and took the key to open the door. I found that she was wearing clothes, squatting under the shower and crying. I rushed forward to turn off the shower and hugged her tightly. At that time, I vaguely guessed what happened. But when I saw the injury on Pingping's body, my whole body collapsed... My daughter, the daughter I raised as a baby, was bullied into that look..."

Ma Hongmei broke down and cried, she still can't accept that her daughter will be treated like that.

Ling Huaan sighed, but didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only sit quietly and listen to her grievances and grievances.

Ma Hongmei cried for a while, then slowly regained her calm, Ling Huaan asked at the right time, "Why didn't you call the police at that time?"

"I said at the time that I would call the police, but Pingping said no. They not only bullied Pingping, but also took a video and threatened her that if she dared to call the police, the video would be uploaded to the Internet."

"Then why did you choose to call the police a month later?"

"Since Pingping returned home, her spirits were not as good as day by day. She lay on the bed nervously every day, not going anywhere, and not letting anyone approach me except me, and it became more and more serious later on. , I knew that the matter had always been her heart disease, and she had to solve it if she wanted to be cured, so I went to report to the police. But at that time, Pingping's sanity was no longer clear, and the police couldn't record her statement, and the incident happened one after another. There is no evidence for the month, and no case is even filed."

"Did Ma Qiuping tell you who bullied her?"

"Said. At that time, Pingping had already offered to resign, but Li Minghui said to let her participate in the last event, Pingping would rather pay the liquidated damages and refused. In the afternoon, Pingping received a call from Lin Fanglu, Saying that she had something to tell her, Pingping didn't want to go, but thinking about leaving Huacheng soon, she decided to meet her, but who knew that this one would ruin her life."

"You mean Lin Fanglu was involved?"

"Yes. If it wasn't for her wanting to rise to the top and please those scumbags, Pingping would not have been bullied, nor would she have left me so early. The most damning person is Lin Fanglu!"

"Who are those people?"

"Li Minghui, deputy director of the TV station, Wang Yang, vice president of DA luxury goods company C branch, and Gao Yong, the son of the chairman of Guanghua Industrial, are the three scumbags who bullied Pingping." Ma Hongmei said gritted teeth. , you can hear her resentment towards these people.

"Why did you want to avenge Ma Qiuping after seven years?"

"I'm a woman, and I have too many enemies. It's not easy to get revenge. I have to observe them, understand them, and kill them."

"The reason why you killed Lin Fanglu at the gate of the police station was to attract the police's attention, so that they could find you, so that the death of Ma Qiuping seven years ago attracted the attention of the police, right?"

"Yes, I want revenge, and I want to let the events of the past come out, otherwise they will always be victims, and people will not understand the true colors of these scumbags."

"The criminal investigation team called out the police just now, and you did it too. Who did you kill?"

"Mr. Ling, you are really smart! That's right, before I came to you, I personally solved Li Minghui and sent their husband and wife to meet on Huangquan Road." Ma Hongmei's tone was very complicated, right The hatred of the enemy, the excitement after revenge, and the fear she didn't even notice.

"Mr. Ling, I want you to help me, no, to help Pingping to avenge her grievance."

"Let me help you?" Ling Huaan said with a wry smile: "Ma Hongmei, you think too highly of me. Seven years have passed since this case, when the Xuancheng police were powerless, I was blind. What? What's more, there is no evidence, even if what you said is true, what can you do with those people?"

"I have proof."
