Chapter 24 Twenty-fourth psychological consultation

I know I've had a dismal day, but trust me, doctor, when you hear how I got through this week, you'll understand, and you'll understand why I asked for an extension of today's session. As I was driving home from my last session, I saw a new sign on the side of the road advertising the beachfront apartment complex I had mentioned.The place where the billboard appeared was near the interchange of my aunt's house, so I remembered that my mother used to make Auntie Val upset when she mentioned the Seaside Mansion.Thinking of this, I found out how my aunt has stopped bragging about how good her daughter Tammela's real estate performance is recently.

As soon as I got home, I went to Cousin Tammy's website.A few of the houses she was selling were in good condition, but the number was far from what it used to be.By the way, I googled her name and found that her name appears on the real estate board's website and is in the judgment section.Turns out, my perfect cousin was suspended for ninety days last year.She represented a company named after numbers (Annotation: Canada often uses companies named after Arabic numerals, some are tentative names, some are head companies, some are subsidiaries of large companies.) to buy a large commercial land, but concealed that she was the boss of that company.Not wise enough.

Apparently my mother didn't know about it, otherwise I would have heard about it and it would have made a big fuss.As luck would have it for Auntie, I disappeared shortly before the Real Estate Board's monthly bulletin announced Tammy Rah's suspension.I suddenly realized one thing. Half an hour later, Gary called and I told him right away.I know who the person going to meet the psycho might be. Gary was silent for a moment, then said: Please. I just found out that shortly after I was kidnapped, my cousin was suspended from the real estate board, but she should have known about it long before she was punished, and my aunt didn't say a word about it.My mother and her sister loved to say goodbye to each other, and I was about to win a marketing case for a building

anne You listen to me first.Didn't you say that it was a woman wearing big sunglasses who went to see the pervert? yes, but After my mom started wearing those big shades, my aunt soon followed suit.Mom likes to wear big sunglasses because she thinks she looks like a Hollywood star.Later, my aunt also wore a pair, wow, it made my mother so angry.The two sisters are very similar in appearance, and the aunt is a little taller, but from a distance, they look exactly the same.Moreover, the person who often visited the prison in the past was the aunt who sent the photo to her.Didn't I almost get carried away last week?Auntie arrives within minutes

Our information shows that your mother did visit your uncle in prison. Impossible!When her uncle's name was mentioned, she changed her face. Annie, your mother's signature is in the visitation book, and we have surveillance tapes. It is possible for my aunt to dress up like her or forge her handwriting.My mother's handwriting is childish Gary sighed and said: We will consider the possibility you offer, okay?Now I want to ask you a few things.When you were locked in the hut, did you see any unusual things, such as photos and other items? That damn place makes me want to vomit.What do you ask this for?

Think about it again, whether there is something abrupt in the room, you may not find it strange when you saw it at the time. I've described it to you, Gary. Sometimes, being startled can bring back memories.You recall the scene inside the cabin again. Nothing is nothing. That thing might be in the studio, or maybe in the cellar How many times do you have to tell me before you are willing?Inside was a suitcase, a gun, my clothes, a roll of bills and a Pink, yes pink.I take a lung full of air. well.Neither of us could speak. Do you remember?Gary asked after a long time. The pervert hides a roll of banknotes, which he holds in a pink stretch scrunchie.I went to my mom's house the other day and found the same scrunchies in her bathroom drawer, also pink, that I used to tie my own hair.However, my aunt she

Did you keep it? yes but i told you We need to compare hair loops. How do you tell about the pink hair band?Confused.I'm so nauseous. Gary's voice sounded like a world away.He said: Can you think of anything else? My mother's stepbrother, he might be a suspect too.I can talk to Wayne, maybe he knows the inside story.My mom may have told him she was annoying Never go to Wayne.Remember, we can't be sure your mom is involved yet. Let's hope we're wrong about her. However, if she is involved, your rash actions may destroy the layout of the case.The safest thing to do is, never say anything to anyone, okay?I didn't answer right away, and he said in a policeman's tone: I'm not joking.

What's your next move? Tomorrow morning, we may have the court clearance, but it will take a few days for the bank to pass on the account information to us.Now we'll try to find evidence.If you interview your mother too early, you may startle the snake, fearing that she will destroy the evidence or run away. She has nothing to talk about, she has done nothing wrong. He softened his tone and said: I know, this matter must be overwhelming for a while, but I promise you, as soon as there is a result, I will notify you immediately.You try to keep your distance from everyone until you are sure.I'm really sorry for you, Anne.

After putting the receiver back, I was about to walk away when the phone rang again.I thought it was Gary again and picked up without looking at the caller ID. Thank goodness, I was so worried about you, Annie Bear.I left you a message a few hours ago, and my mother paused to catch her breath at the thought of recent events, and my throat locked when I tried to interject. are you still thereAnnie? Sorry for not returning your call sooner. I wanted to warn her that she was being targeted by Gary, but what should I say?Gary thinks you're involved in my kidnapping, but I think it's your sister?No, Gary might be mistaken, and if I tell her, she'll be devastated.I have to keep it a secret.I gripped the microphone so tightly that it hurt my hand.I leaned against the wall and slid down the wall.Emma, ​​who was hiding, ran over and buried her face in my chest.

Do the police have any further leads on the bad guy?my mother asked. Yes, there are a lot of them, more than I want to know. There are no new clues. The investigation has hit a bottleneck.You don't know how well the police in our town handle cases. They probably can't even find their own keys.I collapsed and lay on my side on the floor.My breath blows fallen dog hair into tumbleweed in a western. That's fine, what you need most is to concentrate on resting.Why don't you go on vacation? Hot tears accumulated in my eyes, and I closed my eyelids tightly so as not to burst out.I bit my tongue hard.

That's a good idea.I could take Emma camping for a few days. See, mom knows her daughter's heart best.Don't forget to keep in touch, though, and keep us safe.We are all worried about you, Annie Bear. After hanging up the phone, I looked around my home and saw dust everywhere.I rearranged the bookshelves alphabetically and washed the walls with bleach.The next night I knelt on the floor and scrubbed the floors, not sparing an inch of the room.My body is busy cleaning, and my mind is trying to find excuses for all the evidence. Even though the pervert has a history as a hitman, it doesn't mean someone was behind my case. Maybe the woman who went to the motel to find him was just a friend.The overlap with my uncle's prison time does not necessarily mean that they know each other, because there are too many prisoners in the same prison.Even if they did know each other, maybe it was because my uncle had posted pictures of our family on the wall, and the pervert had a crush on me when he saw it.Why didn't Auntie mention Tammy Rah's suspension?Because she was still waiting for the committee's verdict, and then I disappeared, and everything seemed insignificant by comparison.Luckily the police are looking at my mom's bank account details, because when nothing comes out, the police will focus on tracking down the pervert's real partner, if he has one.I told myself not to worry about it anymore. When I finally finished cleaning at 7:00 the next morning, I realized that my knuckles were frayed and I hadn't eaten for more than a day.I barely chewed on the dried toast, drank my tea and swallowed it. That same evening, Gary called to say he was coming to get the stretch scrunchie and the photo I had brought back from the cabin, and I relayed to him my conversation with my mother, including my nonsense camping plans.I explained that I should call her at least once in case she got suspicious.Gary said it was okay, just keep it short. He also advised me to lie to Christina and Luke with the same lie, lest they inadvertently sabotage my ruse.Then he told me to hide in a motel for a while, and I didn't want my mood to be messed up enough that forcing me to leave the house would make me even more helpless.The agreement I reached with him was that I could hide the car in the backyard and hide at home from people.After I was almost kidnapped again, Luke and Christina called to greet me every day. Christina said that I have tried my best not to push you too hard, and asked me to stay at her house for a few days.I refused her kindness, she was dumb for a moment after hearing this, took a deep breath, and said: Well, whatever you want.But I know she is very sad.If I didn't hear from them, they would be worried, so I emailed them both, reporting that I was going out to play for two days, and I didn't inform in advance because I don't want to talk to people right now. Sorry, the emotional ups and downs have been too big recently. Not covered. For the past few days, I have been hiding at home, only daring to light candles at night.I can't hide in the closet, because I can't even close my eyes.I even skipped walks, and spent most of my time just holding Emma and crying with my nose buried in her hair. One time, I got in my car, let the engine whir, and called my mom on the phone, making a lot of rustling noises.I told her that I was fine and I was driving, and the reception was not very good, so it is not convenient to talk about it.At least the last sentence is the truth. Even saying hello, I choked up and lost my voice because I was holding back too many thoughts. I checked my e-mail and saw that Christina had written back saying that she hoped that my vacation would be fun and that I would be in a better mood when I got home.She wrote: "I will miss you.She ended up replacing the signature with XXX and OOO, with a smiley face attached. The next day, I saw her car pull into our driveway, and I put my hand over Emma's mouth to keep her from barking.Christina walked outside for two or three minutes, then drove away.I poked my head out to look, only to realize that she had helped me pick up all the newspapers scattered on the doorstep.I feel like I owe a beating. Gary called to tell me that the investigation was still ongoing and thanked me for my cooperation.The bad guy is about to be caught, I wonder if he will dance around?No wonder he became a cop. I'm hiding one thing from him.I'm going to see a psychiatrist today as usual and he would have told me to cancel if he knew and I'm glad I didn't.At eight o'clock this morning, Gary called again, saying that the police had finally found another cleaner at the hotel.She did remember the woman wearing big sunglasses. The woman was petite but drove a big car. After pushing for a long time, the door opened. I know what you're thinking, Gary, but there must be something nasty about this, so let me sort out what I want to talk about first. I'm really sorry for you, Annie, but all the evidence points to your mother being the accomplice.As soon as the information from the bank comes in, we will ask her to come to the case to explain.At this stage, we But, how can you be sure that it's her who went to the hotel?There are many petite women, but not necessarily It's a petite blonde woman, Anne.The cleaner didn't see the license plate, but she saw that the car was bronze, matching your stepfather's car, and the cleaner recognized your mother's photo. The blood is surging in my ears. But, I told you clearly that my aunt looks a lot like her. My aunt drives a Lincoln, and the color is very similar to that of my stepfather's Cadillac.Maybe my aunt and my uncle colluded, and it was my uncle who wanted to take me away that day.Auntie may have been intimidated by him, I don't know.The problem is, my uncle is still at large.If you guys can interview Wayne, he can show my mom is absolutely innocent. When we're ready, we'll have an interview with Wayne. Ready?What are the police waiting for?Wait until I evaporate again? Annie, I know how frustrated you are Fuck you, I'm not discouraged, I'm pissed off.You police are totally looking for the wrong person.If you don't want to get down to business, I'm going to ask Wayne myself to find out, and then Hurt yourself?A disservice? Wayne will not hurt me. Although he is an idiot, there is not a single cruel cell in his body.If you are worried, install a bug on me. This isn't French Open, Anne.We have never installed bugs on the people, and you have not received relevant training. If you say a wrong sentence, it may destroy the layout of our case. The case you are eager to solve will never be solved. Please, Gary, I was imprisoned in the mountains for a whole year, trying to save myself but unable to do anything.I must help solve the case.I know Wayne's personality well, and if my mother had told him about my uncle, I'd be sure to get the secret out of him. Sorry, there is no room for compromise on this matter.You just have to be patient and wait.It's time for me to go to court and talk about it later. well. I look at the clock, it's eight fifteen in the morning.In two hours, Wayne would be sitting alone in a fast food restaurant.When he was unemployed, he would report to the fast food restaurant every morning and he was unemployed all year round.Mom never followed because she was usually too hungover to get out of bed in the morning.Well, Gary, I'll be patient, but I can only last about an hour and forty-five minutes. When I came to this fast food restaurant, the crowd of people rushing to work had dispersed, but when I walked in quietly, the smell of greasy bacon still permeated the whole restaurant. I chose to sit in the window seat.The waitress came with a pen and paper, the pencil was covered with bite marks, and her nails were bitten to the point of bleeding, just like me.I don't know what's so nervous about her. What do you want? Just a cup of coffee first. Oh, I know you. You're Wayne's daughter Anne, right?How are you? The tape recorder was hot in my pocket.What the hell am I doing here?What if Gary was right and I screwed up the case-handling procedure? I'm fine, thank you for your concern. Wayne should be here soon.I'll tell him you're sitting here, okay? Very good. She brought the coffee and turned away when I heard a jingle at the door.Unless I stood up to look or looked back around the parapet of the booth, I couldn't see who it was, but I knew it by the sound. How is the prettiest waiter in town, Jenny? It's okay, handsome guy.Guess who's one step ahead of you? The stepfather came around the corner of the booth. No way, Anne, why did you come here?Your mother said, didn't you go on vacation? The waiter came over with another cup of coffee.Wayne sat down across from me. I said: The police came looking for me again, so I came back early. He nodded and stirred the coffee. The police transferred further information on the kidnappers.The stirring action stopped suddenly. Yeah?What kind of information? Let's go out for some air, I said.It's hot in here!Would you like to ask the restaurant to let us grab coffee and let's go sit in the park? Well, your mother is about to wake up, she asked me to buy a pack of cigarettes for her to go home. Don't have to sit all day, I just don't want to go home yet.Do you have your playing cards with you? want to play? Of course, let's go to the park to play again.It looks like the toast is burnt, it stinks, I want to get out of here. I paid the bill for both of us, and Jenny helped us pack two more cups of coffee to take away, and we crossed the road to the park together.I found a picnic table in the shade, some distance from the other tables.Wayne shuffled the cards.How long ago was the last time it was just us father and daughter playing cards?I keep remembering. Honestly, Wayne, I didn't just run into you by chance.The hand he was about to deal stopped.I want to ask you a few things. What's up? I kicked Gary's exhortation out of my mind and fought hard.The police think Mom may have something to do with my kidnapping.Someone saw your Cadillac at the gangster's hotel, but I think The kind of car I drive can be seen everywhere. I know, but it is said that the cleaners describe The police got it wrong. I watch him.He stared at the playing cards. Look at me, Wayne. you don't want to play Just look at me.He slowly raised his head to meet my gaze. Do you know the inside story? He shook his head. Wayne, the court approved the police application, and the police are checking account records with the mother's bank. His face turned pale. My tone was flat, but my ears were rumbling. Does mom have anything to do with this case? He tried to make eye contact with me for about five seconds, then his head fell into his hands, and I could see his hands shaking. Wayne.What is going on, you must tell me. Fucked up, all screwed up.He faltered.Damn, it's a mess. Wayne! With his head still in his hands, he shook it violently from side to side. Tell me now, Wayne, or I'll call the police and make you explain it to them yourself. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we didn't know he abused girls I swear I didn't.He looked at me with despairing eyes.If I had known earlier, I would have stopped her, and I would, but unfortunately I only found out later. What did you find? It's your mother.She asked that man to take you away. Impossible, impossible, impossible, impossible. On the other side of the park, there was a baby sitting on a swing, being pushed and played by a young mother. The little girl was smiling and screaming from time to time, and the sound was drowned out by my rumbling ears.Wayne's lips moved up and down, but I heard only broken words and fragmented sentences.I want to concentrate on listening, but I keep thinking about the tape recorder in my pocket and the little wheels turning and turning inside. He stared at my face.Damn it, Anne, you look wow. I stared at him too, shaking my head slowly.You two, it's you two He bent forward and began to plead anxiously.You'll hear me, Anne, it's all screwed up.Still, I didn't know beforehand, and I swear I didn't know beforehand.After you were taken away, your mother seemed to be surprisingly calm. I think something is wrong, she should be anxious like an ant in a hot pot.However, after a week, you still haven't come home, she started to pace at night, drinking like drinking boiled water.In the second week, she visited your uncle three or four times, so I asked her directly: what trouble did you get in, Laura?She kept saying: It's not my fault.Wayne chewed and cleared his throat. What is not her fault?You haven't told me everything she did! The original idea was that you would only disappear for a week or so, but the plan went wrong. Something went wrong.As simple as that, something went wrong.I didn't know whether to laugh or scream. Big mistake.Why on earth did you kidnap me?Was it Uncle Dewitt being terrorized by a psychopath?Or is my uncle threatening my mother?Does she visit prison often?Wayne, what the hell is going on? I don't know what's going on between her and DeWitt!Every time I ask, she gets weird.She was not intimidated by anyone, but she saw a movie one day, the main character was a girl who was kidnapped for two days, and at the end of the movie she interviewed the family members of the person involved, as you know, when she came up with an idea, it was like biting a steak Like a dog, if you don't let it go, you won't let it go. I understand the connection before and after by myself.Mom Kidnapped Me was inspired by the movie? Roland said, you are much prettier than the person concerned, and as long as you disappear for a whole week, the value will be even higher. I was confused for a few seconds before I understood what Wayne said.Will the value be higher?Fuck you, you mean, she had me kidnapped for money? It was she who first heard that you might not get that sale.It was discovered by your aunt. If your mother didn't die, it's because of the rivalry between the two sisters. You know it best.However, if you become famous, your aunt will never be able to hold her head up for the rest of her life. Don't you know my mother's plan? Of course not!I swear, I didn't know anything at first.She told your uncle that he knew a cellmate in prison and that he could ask him for help.Your uncle also said that he knew a loan shark who could lend her 35,000 (US dollars). I was also kept a secret for a long time. Damn, thirty-five thousand?It was this number that ruined my life.This kind of relative is worse than shit. Your mother didn't mean to hurt you.The man originally made an appointment to call her to report to her after the incident, but he never called, so it took a week before she started to worry.Your uncle went to find out the whereabouts of that man, but unfortunately no one knows where you were taken by him. But, seeing that I haven't come home for a long time, why didn't she call the police?Why didn't you move?You two got me locked up there.My throat is broken. As soon as I found out the truth, I advised her to tell the police as soon as possible, but the loan shark warned her that if she dared to call the police, the police would definitely find him on the head, and then he would use a knife to disfigure her and interrupt my conversation leg.The loan shark also said that he can ask his cellmates to kill your Uncle Dewitt in prison.We told the loan shark that we could tell the police that we paid the thugs with our own money, but the loan shark still clamored for us to pay back the money quickly. If the police call the police, your mother and I will be locked up, and the money he borrowed will never be recovered. .And, if we do go to jail, the loan shark says he'll ask his cellmates to settle accounts with us. I suddenly understood that this was probably the longest conversation between my stepfather and me, and it was the first time we had a real relationship. The content of the conversation turned out to be how my mother asked someone to kidnap and rape me. Don't you worry about me getting hurt?Aren't you worried that I'm going to die? His face turned sad.I worry about it day and night, but I really can't figure it out.If I try to save you, it will be Roland who will suffer.During the days when you disappeared, loan sharks were pressing hard. In order to buy time, she sold your things and discussed with others about making a movie, but the negotiation failed.If you come home a few days later, we will be at the end of our rope. He takes a deep breath.The first time I went to see you in the hospital, I couldn't take it anymore, but Luo Lan said that the thing has been done, and it is useless to regret it later, and I should be strong for you.What's more, the loan sharks kept urging us to pay back the money.Roland told him that when you sell your experience, you will have money to pay him back, but you have been refusing to discuss with her about making a movie.In order for the media to continue to pay attention to your case, she is going all out to fight.What popped into my mind was how the reporter was so powerful, always knew where I was, and could get the inside story from the beginning. We use all the money given by the media to deal with loan sharks.However, about a month ago, the loan shark urged that if we didn't pay off all the money, he would come to us to settle the account. wait a minute.The guy in the white van trying to get me, was he a loan shark or Uncle Dewitt? Wayne looked down at his feet. Is it too much?You two have someone trying to kidnap me again? no.His volume was reduced to the point where I could barely hear him.it's me. you?God, Wayne, you almost scared me to death.I fell and got hurt all over my body. He turned to face me, speaking faster.I know, I know, I'm sorry for you.I did not do it on purpose.I didn't know you would resist so fiercely that you would fall down by accident.Your mother said that the media has almost lost interest in you.We can't think of any other way, it's miserable, Anne. Are you miserable?Wayne, right?The sad thing is that I was raped almost every night.The bad thing is that he was forced to struggle and cry, so that he could finish his work quickly.The bad thing is that you have to urinate according to a schedule.Do you know how he will punish me if he catches me peeing secretly?He forced me to drink water from the toilet.Toilet water, Wayne.Most people don't even allow the family dog ​​to go to the toilet to lick the water.That would be so miserable. With tears in his eyes, he nodded frequently. My daughter is dead, Wayne.I reached over, took his hand, and opened his palm.Her head is not even much bigger than the palm of your hand. Now that she is dead, you tell me that the person who led this matter is your family?You two should be the people I trust the most, but you two Then I heard my own voice, which flared up. I bent down and hugged my legs, I only felt a huge pressure on my chest, and my whole head seemed to be clamped by pliers.I gasped for breath, and Wayne patted me on the back, apologizing to me repeatedly, with a crying sound in his words.The edges of my vision went black and I felt my body slide forward. Wayne quickly put his arm around me so I didn't fall.Oh, Anne, don't faint. After a few minutes, I managed to control my breathing, but I was still shivering all over.I looked up, shrugged, and shook Wayne's hand.I took another deep breath, then stood up and walked back and forth in front of the bench, wrapping my arms around myself. The person who broke through the empty door was also you two? Yes, your mother would have followed me in, but when I went into your bedroom and you weren't in, the alarm went off, I got nervous and jumped out the window to escape.Later, your mother went to your house to stay with you overnight, and you told her that you run at a fixed time in the morning every day.That night, Mom brought bear biscuits and my photo.I sit back on the bench. We just sat and looked at each other, unable to speak for a long time.Without saying a word, he can understand everything.At least I can understand.Finally I broke the silence. Are you going to surrender yourself? meeting. We stared at the children's play area and there was not a single child in sight.The sun hid behind a cloud, and it was cool under the shade of a tree. A light breeze swayed the swing back and forth. The regular creaking sound of the swing chains came with the wind, and I smelled the breath of a storm. I really love your mom, you know that? I know. He took a deep breath and put the cards back in the box.I wanted to stop him and say, let's play one last time.But it was too late, everything was too late. I will accompany you to surrender. Gary had just gone to court to get his warrant, and Wayne and I walked into the police station looking unhappy.But when Wayne said he wanted to come clean, Gary pointed at me and said: Don't go.Then take Wayne away. For the next two hours, I walked around the police station, flipping through magazines, staring at the walls, counting cracks and stains.Being betrayed by my own family was worse than being abused by a psycho who hurt me so deeply that he couldn't touch it.I want to escape this pain as soon as possible. Gary is finally back. You shouldn't be talking to him, Anne.if something goes wrong I handed him the tape.It turned out that nothing happened. we can't use this It's useless, is it?I said.I don't want to apologize. He shook his head, and then told me that Wayne and the lawyer had researched it and decided to tell the whole case, and decided to confront my mom in exchange for a lighter sentence.He has been taken into custody on charges of assisting kidnapping, extortion, and negligent wounding, and cannot leave until the bail court is held. Gary said the bank's records would arrive this evening or tomorrow morning.The police didn't really need the money transfer information to arrest my mom, but he wanted to check Wayne's statement before interviewing my mom.Police are also awaiting the forensic results of the retractable hair band, and a formal report may not be released until morning.The police don't think my mother is in danger of fleeing. She doesn't even have her own car and she doesn't pose a threat to the public, so unless the situation changes, they will take her into the police station tomorrow morning. The police asked Wayne to call my mother, saying that there was a company in the north that was going to sell the management rights, and the profits were very high. He wanted to talk about it.If it drags on for too long, and it is too late to drive home overnight, he will go to a friend's house to borrow a night.Then he mentioned that he happened to meet me in case anyone told her.Wayne added that I left my vacation early, but I was exhausted from driving and went straight home to rest.She listened. Afterwards, Gary walked me to my car. He said: Are you okay?This kind of thing is definitely hard for you to accept, right? I don't know what I've become.It's too much I don't know.I shake my head.Have you ever heard of a mother who would do such a thing? Doing bad things to loved ones is common all over the world.Every form of crime you can imagine has happened at least once. I didn't feel more comfortable listening. I'll let you know as soon as I bring her back to the bureau.Would you like to observe the interrogation process? God, I don't know if I can listen to it or not. I know she is your mother, it must be hard for you to understand what she did, but I hope you will be strong.You can't talk to her until the interrogation is over, okay? All right. I'm not kidding, Annie.I want you to go straight home.I can’t tell you a single thing I just told you, but I’ve been hiding the progress of the case before, so I’m very sorry.I'm worried that you won't be able to resist warning your mother, but I'm sure you won't mess around.Don't let me down.Remember how she treated you. Do I still need your reminder? Well, Gary's request, I only half-complied. I did drive away, but I didn't go home and went straight to your clinic.I don't care if anyone sees me.I threw away all rationality and just kept hoping that this whole thing would be an ooze.
