his mermaid

"The relics have been sorted out smoothly."

When they met at the hospital, Yuhan had no choice but to answer: "I've already made arrangements."

However, regarding the contents of those diaries, she still brooded and couldn't let go.

Does Brother Yao know all this?

Since his mother and father reunited, Yaochen rarely came to visit him. He has a relatively indifferent personality, and he has never been close to himself or his father. It is impossible to see that he has secrets in his arms.

It was because he worked in a company after college that he got in touch with brother Yaochen more.

Now is not the time to talk about those past events.

The reason they gathered at the hospital was because the police had formally issued a search warrant against Jiang Dewen for kidnapping. Although the two men he hired hadn't revealed his name for a long time, the victim insisted that Jiang Dewen carried out the kidnapping.Fortunately, after the two victims escaped, they met the police at the gate and were sent to the hospital.

By interrogating the kidnappers, they confessed that another accomplice behind Jiang Dewen was a woman.

Now the police are collecting evidence, and before the official results come out, they are still the first suspects.

"I've already asked someone to send it to the funeral home. How's it going here?" Yuhan asked.

"Pan Nian made a statement, and he produced evidence of cooperation with Jiang Dewen, so the police will control Jiang Dewen."

"Is there still a need for his confession?"

Yuhan looked at the glass window of the ward, and was injured through a layer of glass——Chu Quan, whose head was wrapped in gauze, was lying there.He passed out when it arrived and hadn't been able to speak to the police yet.

If he wakes up, everything will come to light.The doctor also said that Chu Quan was not seriously injured, and he is still sleeping because he was too tired and was trapped in that place for several days.He will wake up soon.

"Shall we go in and see him?"

"No need." Yaochen turned around and went back to rest on the corridor.

In the ward, Yue Guo had already visited him. After all, he was a friend of Yue Guo and had nothing to do with him.But when he heard that Chu Quan was in danger, even if he stayed with Pan Nian, he still helped him.Just disappointed Pan Nian, Yaochen contacted the police for support without hesitation.

Pan Nian's decision to run away is also in vain, and even more things he has done will be exposed.

Just before the visit was over, the police called.

"Excuse me, are you a friend of Mr. Chu Quan?"

The male police officer said quickly.

"He left one thing at the police station, please come and get it, and confirm it by the way."

"What is it?"

"It's his voice recorder. We have made a backup of the content inside, but we still need Chu Quan himself to confirm its authenticity. Please come and pick it up and return it to him. By the way, let him come as soon as possible after he recovers." The police confirmed the statement."

What was recorded in the recorder?Even the police have backup.This aroused Yaochen's curiosity. Without hesitation, he set off to the police station to get back the recording pen. When he returned to the hospital, it was already late at night, and he saw Chu Quan wake up from a distance through the glass window. Talking to Yue Guo.

After coming and going for more than an hour, Yue Guo has been in the ward, still waiting for him to come and pick him up.

Unfortunately, I have something important to talk about, so I still have to disturb the two of them to talk about the past.

"This is your recorder." Yaochen pushed open the door.

The conversation between the two stopped, and Yueguo shyly slid the wheelchair away, not wanting to get too close to the hospital bed.It was hard for Yaochen not to be jealous over trivial matters, and he couldn't let his old illness relapse again.

The recorder was packed in a transparent pocket, and fingerprints must have been collected before it was returned.Of course, now that it is back in Chu Quan's own hands, the police will not attack him again.

"It turned out that the police took it away. It contained the content I recorded before I was kidnapped." Chu Quan opened the bag, pressed the recording pen, and the blue light screen lit up.There is still electricity, Chu Quan is about to turn it on and play it immediately, "Aren't you avoiding it?"

"I was just about to ask if I could listen to it too." Yaochen stood beside the bed.

Since it was criminal evidence about Jiang Dewen, he must know it.

"The police said that the content has been backed up, and I hope you will go to the police station to confirm as soon as possible."

This means that the content of the recording pen is very important, and it recorded the situation for nearly an hour after being kidnapped.

Chu Quan pressed play.

First, after getting in the car, he turned on the recorder. After a few seconds of delay, Jiang Dewen was already talking.

He discussed with Chu Quan not to further investigate the cause of his father's suicide, but Chu Quan refused to give up. Jiang Dewen's tone showed impatience.

The car door was opened, and judging from the chaotic audio, two more men came, they were Jiang Dewen's bodyguards.

Chu Quan yelled, but it had no effect. Soon after a loud noise, Chu Quan was stunned by those two people.

The following content should be unknown to Chu Quan.He deliberately reminded Yaochen: "It's here, I fainted."

"He died?"

"I'm dizzy...but I'm not dead."

"Of course I can't die. He really wanted to know about his father's relationship with me. It's a pity that he just died like this."

In the voice from the recorder, Jiang Dewen slowed down his speech: "Hey, listen, your father is an out-and-out criminal."

at this time.

Chu Quan pressed the pause button.

"I don't know why, I feel a little uncomfortable hearing this, and I don't really want to know the content now."

"Don't think too much, just keep listening."

"If you want to know the content, you can take it first, I want to go to the police station to talk about it." Chu Quan handed over the recording pen, and the || pause button was still on on the screen.

"Then I won't be impolite, I plan to listen to what follows." Yaochen put away the recording pen, then went outside the ward, and finished listening to the recording in the empty corridor.Afterwards, he went back to the room and pushed Yueguo's wheelchair away: "Take care of yourself here, I'll take him home early."

The words were spoken to Chu Quan, and they left the hospital first.

After Jiang Dewen was arrested by the police that day, Yueguo breathed a sigh of relief.

But in the car, Yaochen still had a sad face, as if he was not happy about this matter, nor did he let go of his burden.

"what happened to you?"

"It's nothing, but the police probably haven't discovered why Jiang Dewen attacked your family. If you don't find that evidence, you won't be able to convict."

"It should be investigated..." Yue Guo lowered his head, "I don't know either."

"The recording is here, do you want to listen too?" Yao Chen freed up one hand and put the recording pen into the hand of the co-pilot.

This is the recording after Xiao Chu was kidnapped...

Yue Guo then pressed the play button, pondered for a while, adjusted to the beginning and listened again.

……

"Listen, your father is a real criminal."

"Twenty-five years ago, he used his fake accident technology to drive a truck into a car. He wanted to kill the owner of the car, but he missed it. The end result was that the man was paraplegic and he escaped. success."

Yue Guo frowned.

"You must be wondering why he did this. At that time, your father was working in the car owner's family, and his wife, your mother, was working as a servant there. One day, his wife fell from upstairs , died of brain congestion. At that time they had just given birth to a son, and that child was you, Xiao Chuquan."

"Your mother was undoubtedly pushed downstairs. Your father took revenge, quit his job, and brought you up alone. I always knew that he did it. If it was exposed, even after For more than 20 years, he may not end well, so he obeys me."

"Now that he is dead, let's take it as atonement for his evil deeds."

Looking at Yaochen's expression, he was so indifferent that he didn't seem to care about the content of the recording.Yueguo turned off the recording, feeling uncomfortable in his stomach, looking at the asphalt road and neon lights outside the window.The colorful lights flickered until they became fewer and fewer and became quiet because the car had already driven to the villa area by the sea.

***

Jiang Dewen's accusations also included various pranks that were previously suspicious. After Yue Guo and Yaochen proved, more and more evidence could point to Jiang Dewen.

But as Yaochen expected, there is no evidence that he directly committed a crime.

"Thank you very much for your investigation." The police officer sitting in front of him was very confident, "Although Jiang Dewen can't argue with his mouth, I think it is inevitable."

"Did he reveal the motive of his crime?" Yaochen asked, "That is, the motive of intimidating you to hand over the things. We don't know what the things are until now."

"He refuses to say now, we will continue to investigate, by the way, you can go to see Ban Nian and find out what's going on."

Now Pan Nian is also staying in the detention center and may be formally prosecuted at any time.According to the testimony of Jiang Dewen and several of his associates, Pan Nian is indeed one of the suspects.

Without further ado, Yueguo applied for a visitation, but he hadn't figured out what to say in person, until Bannian entered the visiting room with his face covered and dirty, Yueguo almost didn't recognize him.

Pan Nian didn't expect Gao Yuehui to visit him, and thought it was Yaochen who applied to the police station.

But I also know that such an opportunity should be left to the parties involved.

"I have a question to ask..." Yue Guo said.

"Just ask."

"Why... Uncle will stare at our family?"

"I don't know." Pan Nian didn't even look at him.

"You know what he is looking for, right? If you cooperate with the investigation, even if you are prosecuted, your sentence will be reduced as appropriate. You should know..."

"Yes, I know what he is looking for." Finally, Ban Nian turned his face to look at Yue Guo, "But why should I tell you?"

"Why don't you say it? You're not that bad. You even helped Chu Quan escape together, and even contacted Yaochen to help you... You actually knew that you would be arrested. Without you, Xiao Chu wouldn't be able to escape..."

"Don't say such irrelevant things."

"Then please, help us."

Gao Yueguo was so nervous that he was afraid that he would not be able to ask any questions when the visiting hours were over.

Ban Nian looked at him for a while.

"Can't you walk yet?"

"I didn't bring a cane today, so I can actually go now." Yue Guo said hesitantly, he came in in a wheelchair.

Pan Nian both sympathized with him and envied him.Obviously unfortunately encountered a disaster, but fortunately survived, life is getting better and better, and even got a private love for life.

Of course, if he hadn't encountered this car accident, I'm afraid he would have nothing to say.

"Are you working now?"

"not yet……"

"That's right, with Yaochen taking care of you, you don't have to work."

"After a while, I will apply for the job."

"Where do you apply for a job?"

"Not yet determined."

"Isn't it great that you don't have to work by yourself." Pan Nian asked, "If you had a choice, would you like the current life, or would you rather go back to the time when you were not injured but had to work by yourself?"

"Of course back to when I wasn't injured."

"Even if you can't be with Yaochen?"

Gao Yueguo nodded.

"Don't you like him?"

Not knowing whether to shake his head or nod, Yue Guo remained silent.

After confronting each other for a long time, Yueguo knew that Pan Nian would not answer the questions he wanted to ask again.He originally planned to talk about the matter between himself and his sister, but it was too obvious to win the sympathy of the other party, which would cause counterproductive effects. He didn't dare to do this, so he simply didn't say anything.

Until the visiting time was about to end, Yueguo turned around, probably hopelessly returning, but a voice of Niannian sounded behind him:

"It's a video shot on a mobile phone, it should be on a computer or a USB flash drive."

Yue Guo also suddenly turned his head and asked, "Video? Jiang Dewen... what film is he looking for?"

"How do I know? Leave it to me to look for it, but I can't find it either."

"The visiting hours are over," the person in the detention room reminded.

"I'm just cooperating with the investigation of the criminal case!" Bannian resisted, making the two police officers who wanted to press him and take him away dare not come up easily, and he shouted at Yueguo, "Go find it yourself, Jiang Dewen." I said it must be in your hands."

At the end of this sentence, Pan Nian was taken back to the detention room by the police.

Film?

What Jiang Dewen wanted was a video.I don't know where it is or what it's about, but it must be Jiang Dewen's trick, otherwise he wouldn't be so obsessed with recovering that film.

No wonder the burglar only took away his old notebook. Xiaohui had also used that notebook during his lifetime, and Yueguo didn't know what was stored in it.Maybe it's not in the notebook anymore, after all, Jiang Dewen still asked for it after that, but Yueguo never used a USB flash drive.

What exactly is the container that displays it?Jiang Dewen even insisted that Yue Kingdom must own it.

Yueguo left the visiting room, trying hard to recall the day of the car accident along the way, and all the things that happened before that.

He must have missed something.

Soon, as if suddenly realizing it, Yueguo slid the wheelchair vigorously.

Yes, Xiaohui did give him that video.

***

On the night before the car accident, Yueguo was in the room preparing materials for the interview.

Yue Hui entered the room and said mysteriously: "Brother, you are going to an interview, right? This is a secret weapon, you can take it."

"what is this?"

"Your lecture video."

"How do you..."

"When I went to your class before, I used my mobile phone to record the video, and I saved it. I pasted it in this book, so as not to break it, remember to bring it."

"What is this for... The interviewer won't read it."

"Believe me, why don't they read it? You must bring it on the day of the interview, and you hook me up."

"Don't be so exaggerated." Yue Guo laughed awkwardly.

"Hey, you hooked up with me. I'm doing this for your own good. I really want you to find a good job quickly."

There is a small CD in the book, which Yuehui specially made.

She claimed that she must show it to the interviewer, and they would see her brother's teaching experience and admit him.Although what she said was reasonable, Yue Guo didn't take it seriously, and forgot to take it out the next day.

The night before, Yaochen called and asked him to go to the concert, but Xiaohui didn't want him to go, and refused for him on the grounds that the interview was very important, Yueguo didn't care.

After that, Xiaohui went to the concert instead of him, and he also went to the interview location as planned.

Yueguo never imagined that Xiaohui was already threatened by Jiang Dewen at that time.

Half a year ago, Yue Hui ran into Ou Che at a high school reunion.

They chatted very speculatively, and the two made an appointment to go to the bar for a drink.Yue Hui bumped into the scene where Ou Che and Jiang Dewen's subordinates were trading DP, and they mentioned Jiang Dewen's name.She recorded it with her mobile phone and threatened Ou Che to give him money. Soon Jiang Dewen also found out about it, and negotiated with Yuehui in person, but Yuehui was not satisfied.

Yuehui told Jiang Dewen that she knew his son and was dating, and reassured Jiang Dewen that she would never betray him.He also used the film as an excuse to ask Jiang Dewen to secretly transfer money to her. In the past six months, Yuehui bought many luxury goods precisely because she secretly blackmailed Jiang Dewen.

But her lie was too clumsy, and it didn't take long before she was seen through under Jiang Dewen's tracking.

She and Yaochen were not boyfriend and girlfriend, which made Jiang Dewen furious.

Jiang Dewen recorded her whereabouts for half a year, and recorded her phone calls when she and Yaochen went out on a date as evidence, and asked her to hand over the video as soon as possible.

If she calls the police, the fact that she threatened Jiang Dewen to send money will also be revealed, and she has spent all the money.

In desperation, Yuehui chose to delay the time.

That day happened to be the deadline given by Jiang Dewen.She claimed that she had given the video to her brother and had nothing to do with her, so she asked Jiang Dewen to find Yueguo.

She wanted to use Yue Guo's hand to publish the video, but also pretend it was unintentional, that's the only way.

When he got in the car, Yueguo realized that he forgot to take the secret weapon that Xiaohui gave him, so he had to call to let him know.

"Xiaohui, I seem to have forgotten the CD you gave me yesterday at home. It should be all right? The interviewer won't watch those videos."

"What? You forgot to bring the materials? Didn't I tell you that today's interview is very important, and you know it yourself, how could you forget to bring that book."

At this time, Yuehui was standing beside Yaochen, she couldn't let Yaochen know about the disc and video, but she just yelled at her brother angrily.

"Sorry, I really forgot. Are you home now? Can you bring it over for me?"

Absolutely can't let him go home, and of course it's even more impossible for him to go home, and he can't let dad go home.They are all Jiang Dewen's targets now, so none of them can go home.

If there is anyone else who can help, Yuehui can only think of one person.

"Why don't you let Lian Shijie send him there? He's usually free, right?"

"I've already fallen out with him, it's inconvenient for him to help me..."

"If it's inconvenient, I'll help you contact him. He's really used to bullying you, obviously he should send you off."

If it was Lian Shijie who went to his house to get it, he could just use the spare key downstairs, and he would not be targeted by Jiang Dewen.

After listening to the concert, Yuehui wandered around her home.

I saw Lian Shijie's car appearing nearby, carrying his brother.She followed up and eavesdropped on their conversation. She wanted to make sure that Yueguo really noticed something wrong with the video, but unexpectedly heard that Lian Shijie wanted to break up with Yueguo.If Jiang Dewen silenced Yueguo, the money Yueguo lent to Lian Shijie would be lost, and Yuehui couldn't help rushing up to quarrel.

The car accident she encountered afterwards was a fate that had been arranged for her long ago.

Jiang Dewen would not end with this, he wanted to ask where the video was, and he was even more worried that Gao Yueguo watched the video and told Yaochen all this, which would make Yaochen so estranged from him during the six months he returned to China.

He tempted in every possible way, hoping that Yueguo would take the initiative to negotiate with him, but he never waited for that opportunity.What he didn't expect was that Yue Guo didn't know anything about it.If it wasn't for Jiang Dewen's desire to pester her, perhaps this secret would have been sealed forever.

Originally, Yueguo should be able to get that new job.

It's just that he didn't perform very well that day. After the secret weapon was handed over to the interviewer, the interviewer just said: "This is your lecture video? Actually, we don't understand it a bit. If you don't mind, we want to stay and give it to The leader will decide after seeing it.”

Something happened to Yueguo that day, and that school contacted him, but Yaochen rejected him on the grounds that he had a car accident.Not long after, this matter was also left behind by Yue Guo.

When it comes to video recording, that is the only thing Yue Guo can think of.

Was what Jiang Dewen was looking for hidden in the CD at that time?

With a gamble in his heart, Yue Guo went to the school he interviewed at the beginning, accompanied by Yaochen and the police of course.

With the cooperation of the school, I found the resume and materials he submitted at that time.

As expected, there is a video of the transaction scene recorded under dim lights.

Xiaohui wanted to use his hands to expose the video, but she didn't get her wish until today.No matter whether her original intention was to blame her or ask for help, Yue Guo didn't want to pursue it any further.

At this point, the police finally had conclusive evidence of Jiang Dewen's crime.

***

Three months later, when I saw Brother Yaochen and Yueguo again, Yaochen had already gone to the branch office in London and rented a house there. It is said that the house to buy is still under discussion.What kind of house does Yueguo like?Without his approval, brother Yaochen probably wouldn't make a decision easily.

This time, they had to come back because of the Qingming Festival.Even more coincidentally, Jiang Dewen's first trial verdict was also today.

When we met in the cemetery and Yueguo, he was more sunny than before, wearing proper prosthetics and not using crutches.

However, wheelchairs and crutches are always kept in the car and may be used at any time.

They polished the black marble, then saluted and set down the bouquet.

"Jiang Dewen's matter will be judged in the first instance this afternoon. Why don't you visit him?"

"No. Promised to travel to Windermere for a few days."

Brother Yaochen's eyes fell on Yue Guo in the distance.

"Don't you care about the result..." Yuhan lowered her head.

"The court will make a fair judgment. Besides, you will definitely go to the scene, so I don't care. After the end, the major news will also broadcast this matter."

"Too……"

The news agency kept up with the progress, and the news was faster than Yuhan's text message.

I have to say that Yuhan really planned to go to the scene to hear the verdict.

Although there is no hatred with Jiang Dewen, I also want to witness the final verdict, although it has only progressed to the first trial.

After hesitating for a while, Yuhan said, "Brother Yaochen, there is something I've always wanted to ask you."

"If Jiang Dewen wasn't your biological father, would you..."

She sighed and said, "I think it's because you didn't regard him as a father that you dealt with him with unscrupulous determination."

Yaochen was slightly stunned, and soon, the surprise in his eyes had already flashed.

"Why do you ask such a strange question?"

"You don't seem to care, it's because I'm thinking too much." Yuhan smiled wryly.It is no longer necessary for them to state the truth now.Because the real parents are far away, even if you know the truth, the fact will not change in any way, but it will make people uncomfortable.

Standing quietly in front of the tombstone like this seems to have answered their doubts.

"Committed an unforgivable crime, even if it is my own life, I will not hesitate to accuse him."

Did brother Yaochen really not know before?

Did he accuse Jiang Dewen as his biological father?

Soon, her peripheral vision was attracted again.

"Brother Yaochen, when did you wear the ring...?"

She saw Brother Yaochen had an extra ring on his left ring finger, he hadn't worn it three months ago.

That is to say, he and Yue Guo have already decided...

However, Brother Yaochen didn't answer her directly, but instead put his hands into his pants.

"Let's go and listen to the court sentence."

"Aren't you going?"

Only then did he realize that it must be Yue Guo who wanted to go.

Yuhan stood in front of the tombstone and laughed.

It seems that I have to wait a little longer to tell brother Yaochen about the things in my mother's diary, that's fine
