The mobile phone news was telling about a murder case that had been buried for more than 40 years. A yellowed and old family photo in the reporter's hand attracted the attention of Su Mai, who was eating noodles in a noodle shop.
The reporter said that according to police investigation, except for the adopted daughter who ran away from home and is missing, all the people in this photo are no longer alive.
This photo comes from the murder victim Jin Meiyu, who was about 20 years old when she died.
According to neighbors of Jin Meiyu's family at that time, in the winter of 1972, Su Mai, the adopted daughter of the Jin family, ran away from home in anger because she was dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by her adoptive father for her. The Jin family went out to search to no avail, and the whereabouts of the eldest daughter Jin Meiyu has been unknown since then.
The male master of the Jin family went to the front line the next year and unfortunately died. The hostess Cheng Xianglan could not bear the blow of losing her husband and daughter, and became ill.
Since then, the eldest son, a doctor, has been taking care of the mistress in the hospital.
Unexpectedly, the condition of the hostess improved. When the eldest son took her home, he encountered an out-of-control transport truck and both mother and son lost their lives.
The second son of the Jin family could not bear the blow and went to the countryside to become an educated youth. In the summer of 1975, there was a flood in the place where he went to the countryside. The second son of the Jin family jumped into the flood to save others and was drowned.
The lonely and helpless youngest daughter of the Jin family was also falsely accused and bullied by her colleagues in the spring of 1977, and she hanged herself at home in depression.
Dead, all dead. Su Mai was so stimulated by the news that his whole body twitched and then fell to the ground.
As she was dying, a voice seemed to be asking her: "Su Mai, if you had a chance to go back to the past, would you still choose to escape marriage, run away from home, and sneak to Xiangjiang?"
Intention: I haven't thought about it yet
