Chapter 64 Stepdaughter (1)
Back home, Shen Yue lay on the bed tossing and turning, the long-lost insomnia came again, but he didn't feel any pain.Kang Ruxin's smiling face kept flashing clearly in his mind. She is so beautiful that people can ignore all her shortcomings.

Goodness is not the same as pain.Pain is extremely difficult to regulate, and it keeps a person sleepless.But beauty can make a person put down temporarily, because it has endless aftertaste space.Shen Yue forced himself to stop thinking about the beautiful picture when he was with Kang Ruxin, and shifted his attention to Lu Wenhua's case.He began to think about such a question: Lu Wenhua, what kind of person is he?
So far, at least one important thing about Lu Wenhua's personality has been clarified, that is, there is a huge and completely different contrast between his own assessment of his ability and others' views.What kind of behavior would a person with such personality traits exhibit?He probably knows what others think of him, but he doesn't agree with others' judgment of him in his heart, because he is confident that he is capable, and this confidence comes from the fact that he has easily defeated Cheng Jie.Or, Lu Wenhua chose to marry the deputy director's daughter to prove his excellence.A loser in love, a person who has great confidence in his ability, he must prove himself.This was his best choice, that's why he was so desperate, and he didn't even feel any guilt after indirectly causing Cheng Jie's death.This has been very obvious from the matter of his quarrel with Cheng Lei.

Obviously, Lu Wenhua's love for Lin Xiaodong is sincere, even strong and unforgettable, even if he is unrequited love.Because of this, after more than 20 years, he still transferred his hatred of Cheng Jie to Cheng Lei in his heart, which is the so-called deep love and deep hatred.Thinking of this, Shen Yue suddenly had a terrible thought: Maybe Lu Wenhua threw down that flower pot on purpose!

Shen Yue was taken aback by this thought of his own, and sat up in a "bass".Lu Wenhua, would he do that?Hard to say.Still the same sentence: the depth of love, the depth of hate.It is a pity that Lu Wenhua is dead, and such a thing can no longer be verified.No, maybe it can be confirmed...

Thinking of this, Shen Yue suddenly felt even more excited.He had a feeling that he had touched the edge of Lu Wenhua's soul.

He has always believed that everyone's real self is very complicated, but many people are used to simply using good and bad to judge others.But as a psychologist, he shouldn't be like that.In addition, everyone's purposeful behavior is the projection of inner motives. Therefore, to find the murderer in this case, one must first explore his inner motives, and such motives must have been caused by Lu Wenhua. Therefore, in today's In the case of an extreme lack of clues, the only way to find the answer is from Lu Wenhua.

The next morning, Shen Yue went directly to Lu Wenhua's house, where his son was at home.Only then did Shen Yue call Kang Ruxin: "You go directly to Lu Wenhua's house, I'm already here."

Kang Ruxin was a little unhappy: "Why don't you go with me? I've already gone downstairs to your house."

Shen Yue explained: "I'm worried that Lu Wenhua's son is not at home. In that case, we will have to go to the funeral home to look for him. By the way, have you had breakfast? If not, go to my house to eat."

It was the first time for Kang Ruxin to receive such care from him, and the unhappiness in her heart disappeared immediately.She said, "I've eaten, I'll be right there."

Lu Wenhua's son is called Lu Zhan. He is 23 years old this year. He is tall and has a slightly hunchbacked back. There is a trace of fear in his eyes behind his glasses.When Shen Yue told him why he came, his body trembled.There is a portrait of Lu Wenhua on the wall, and the person on the portrait does not have a smile.Shen Yue noticed in particular that the corner of the mouth on the right side of the person in the photo was slightly upturned, which was a typical contemptuous expression.Maybe at the moment when the cameraman pressed the shutter, Lu Wenhua was thinking about something or someone.This photo freezes Lu Wenhua's disdain and contempt for something or someone at that moment.

The furnishings in the house in front of him didn't look like the home of a deputy factory manager at all.The furniture was worn out and the only electrical appliance in the living room was a 20s style TV.Shen Yue didn't need to go to other rooms to imagine that the situation inside was similar.At this moment, he somewhat understood the reason why Lu Wenhua never invited others to drink at home.A person who is criticized by others but is very confident in his heart often has stronger self-esteem than ordinary people.

At this time, Kang Ruxin arrived. After she came in and took a look, she asked in surprise, "Is this Lu Wenhua's home?"

This is where Shen Yue felt strange and puzzled.The workshop director is a middle-level cadre in the factory, not to mention that he later became the deputy factory director, and his wife is not unemployed. Although they have to raise two children, this family should not be like this anyway.

Lu Zhan has not spoken since Shen Yue came in. Shen Yue noticed that this young man who has just graduated from university seems a little timid. He has been in a state of helplessness, giving people a lonely, helpless and weak feeling.

Shen Yue walked to the sofa and sat down. The uneven springs under his buttocks made him feel very uncomfortable.He pointed to a stool next to him, and said to Lu Zhan, "Sit down too, don't be nervous, we're just here to get some information."

Lu Zhan sat down, clenched his hands together, his knuckles were tense, showing white.He lowered his head, his feet were tucked under the legs of the stool, and he looked nervous and bewildered.

Shen Yue made his tone as gentle and relaxed as possible: "I heard that you just graduated from university this year, where do you work now?"

Lu Zhan still hooked his head, and replied in a low voice: "Yes. I went to university in Hunan, and now I am doing sales."

Kang Ruxin asked in surprise, "Are you doing sales?"

Shen Yue glanced at Kang Ruxin and reminded her not to ask the other party in such a way.Kang Ruxin quickly stopped speaking, but she couldn't help showing surprise on her face.

Shen Yue smiled slightly at Lu Zhan and said, "I'm sure that your sales performance must be good. Is that so?"

Lu Zhan suddenly raised his head, looked at him in surprise, and asked, "How do you know?"

Shen Yue smiled at him again, and said: "I can feel that your father used to be very strict with you, and you were very afraid of him. Even though he is gone now, you still feel scared when you come back here, because this family Everywhere is filled with the breath of your father when he was alive. You don’t want to come back after graduating from university, but you actually want to escape from this family. You have studied in Hunan for four years, you are familiar with it, and more importantly, you are in that place I feel free. Because without your father by your side, your heart is relaxed, and you hope to prove your excellence in front of your father through your own achievements, so you have to work harder."

Lu Zhan's eyes flickered with horror behind his glasses.Shen Yue waved his hand at him and said: "Don't be afraid, I didn't know you before, but I know something about your father. I am a psychologist, and it is not difficult to analyze your mentality. Lu Zhan, I Believe that you will succeed, you will."

However, Lu Zhan shook his head and said, "But, my dad, he's gone..."

Shen Yue immediately understood the meaning of his words, and said, "Lu Zhan, you must always remember that a person does not live for others. No matter how strict your father was with you before, he always hoped You can be better than him. Maybe he is not satisfied with his life, so he pins his hope on you, because you are the continuation of his life. But for you, your life has just begun, So you should not live under the shadow of your father, but should live more sunny. You don't need to prove anything to your father, because you are already on the way to success, and your future achievements will surely surpass you father. Of course, this must be based on the fact that you want to return to your true self."

A painful expression appeared on Lu Zhan's face, and he asked, "What should I do now?"

Shen Yue smiled and said: "It's very simple, straighten your waist, and then face me neither humble nor overbearing. Each of us is equal, you and me, like Police Officer Kang, our souls should be free. "

Lu Zhan's eyes lit up.Although a thick shadow is shrouded in his heart, he also has a strong desire for freedom in his heart.From the perspective of psychotherapy, he is young after all, and his heart is not complicated. As long as he can touch the most sensitive part of his heart, it will be very easy to help him get rid of the psychological shackles.Listening to Shen Yue's words, Lu Zhan's waist couldn't help straightening up.He looked at Shen Yue and said sincerely, "Thank you."

Shen Yue stood up, put a low stool in front of Lu Zhan, sat down, and said with a smile: "We talk like this, so it's not so formal. I can ask casually, and you tell me the truth, that's fine. Okay?" ?”

Lu Zhan hunched back again, but at this time he was already in a relaxed state.He nodded and said, "Okay, you can ask."

Shen Yue looked around and asked, "Has your family always been like this? Your parents' income should not be low. Why is this house like this? Have you found the passbook left by your father? Did he leave it for you?" A lot of money?"

Lu Zhan froze for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "A lot of money? I never found out that our family had money since I was a child. When I was young, the clothes I wore were the oldest among my classmates. After I went to college, my living expenses were The least in the class. I found my bank card at home, and I just went to the bank to check it yesterday... It’s really troublesome to say, the factory issued a certificate, and I had to go to the police station to get a stamp. After I went to the bank, I couldn’t laugh or cry. , the sum of all the money in my father’s account is less than 2000 yuan.”

Shen Yue felt that this was really unbelievable, and thought: Lu Wenhua must have used the money elsewhere.He asked: "When your mother was alive, did she and your father quarrel over money?"

Lu Zhan shook his head and said, "I don't know, anyway, I haven't seen them quarreling. My mother is very afraid of my father, and let him do everything."

This is very strange.Although the woman named Song Mei married Lu Wenhua with her child at the time, after all, Lu Wenhua obtained the position of workshop director through such a relationship... But it is hard to say, the relationship between a man and a woman is inherently complicated , It is impossible to simply use the relationship of interests to guess the status of two people in the family.Shen Yue thought for a while, then asked again: "Is your father treating your sister well?"

Lu Zhan said: "He is so kind to my sister, much better than me. He buys what my sister wants, and her living expenses when she was in college were higher than mine."

Shen Yue asked in surprise: "You never give advice to your father?"

Lu Zhan's expression dimmed, and he said in a low voice, "I dare not..."

At that moment just now, Lu Zhan seemed to have gotten rid of the shadow caused by his father's overly strict treatment of him since he was a child, and his voice was clear and logical when answering questions.At this time, he seems to have returned to the state at the beginning.At this moment, Shen Yue had no choice but to guess: Did Lu Wenhua give all his money to his daughter?In this day and age, feeding two kids to college is no easy feat.But...he thought for a while and asked, "Since your father was so kind to your sister, why didn't she come back to attend your father's funeral?"

Lu Zhan snorted coldly, and said, "An unfamiliar dog!"

Shen Yue looked at him: "Actually, you never liked your sister since childhood, did you?"

Lu Zhan nodded: "I've never liked her. In this family, it seems that she was born to my parents, but I seem to be picked up by them from outside. Why?"

Shen Yue reached out and patted his shoulder, saying: "Perhaps, one day you will understand when you really fall in love with a woman."

After finishing speaking, Shen Yue walked towards the door. At this time, Kang Ruxin had also stood up, but at this moment, Shen Yue suddenly turned around and asked: "Your father likes to go fishing on weekends, have you ever followed him?" ?”

Lu Zhan shook his head.Shen Yue asked again: "So, do you know where he likes to go fishing?"

Still shaking his head, he said, "I don't know. He never said it."

Shen Yue smiled at him and said: "You will succeed, you will become a very good person. You must believe my words."

Lu Zhan's waist straightened instantly, and he looked at Shen Yue, his face flushed with excitement.

Shen Yue and Kang Ruxin walked downstairs, and suddenly heard heart-piercing crying from the room behind them: "Dad..."

After all, Kang Ruxin is a woman, and the most detestable thing to hear is this kind of crying. At that moment, her eye circles suddenly turned red, but she saw Shen Yue who was walking in front handing her a tissue.Kang Ruxin didn't reach out to pick it up, she felt an inexplicable annoyance of being seen through, and said loudly, "I don't need it!"

Shen Yue froze for a moment, not understanding why she was angry, shook her head, and continued to walk downstairs.

"I'm sorry." After arriving downstairs, Shen Yue heard Kang Ruxin behind him apologizing softly.He could only smile bitterly in his heart: As a doctor of psychology, he really couldn't understand a woman's mind.Why was she angry just now, and why is she apologizing now?Shen Yue is most afraid to think about such questions, especially when this case has not progressed.Therefore, he decided to temporarily put aside this troublesome question and let his thoughts return to Lu Wenhua's case.

He waved his hand towards Kang Ruxin and said, "Maybe, we should visit Lu Wenhua's daughter."

Kang Ruxin asked in surprise: "Is this necessary?"

Shen Yue thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't know. I just think there are too many strange things in Lu Wenhua's personality, and I have to figure it out."

Kang Ruxin walked up to him quickly, followed his walking speed and frequency, and said: "I know, what you said to Lu Zhan just now is actually to let him escape from the shadow that Lu Wenhua cast on him. , but I don't understand, does Lu Wenhua really love his wife? Also, Lu Zhan is two years younger than his sister, that is to say, there is a two-year difference between the two siblings entering college, which doesn't mean To put such a heavy burden on the family's finances, but in that home that I just saw ... it's really weird."

Shen Yue nodded and said: "This is exactly what I was thinking about. From the matter of Lu Wenhua's treatment of Cheng Lei, I can be sure that Lu Wenhua has not let go of the past for so many years. Maybe he has long since lost his love for Lin Xiaodong. The feeling of the past, but the inner frustration must still exist, and may even become more and more intense as time goes by. But this does not affect him to like another woman. His wife gave birth to him A son, that's enough to make him happy. Even if Lu Wenhua's heart is not like this, even if he doesn't love his wife, but I can only say that in front of Lu Zhan. He is still young, we have to give him hope, and It’s not to add another smear of darkness to his already full of shadows. Besides, Lu Wenhua’s home... I don’t know why it is like that, but I believe that one day it will be clear, including the whole picture of Lu Wenhua’s inner world .”

The biggest advantage of this person is self-confidence, Kang Ruxin thought so.Then she heard Shen Yue continue to say: "Actually, up to now, I already have a partial understanding of Lu Wenhua's inner world, especially when it comes to his treatment of his son's education, which fully shows his seriousness." It's conflicting inside."

"contradiction?"
