At 08:30 the next morning, Jiang Jianzhou received a call, and the teacher in charge of Zhuosi Education notified: Mr. Zheng has something to do at home, and he may be half an hour late.

Usually, after Teacher Zheng came, Jiang Jianzhou would go out again, but this time the teacher was late, and he had encountered it a few times before, so he didn't care. He asked Chenxing to wait for the door to open, and he went to buy vegetables first.

The boy agreed to come down, and after the old man left, he waited alone in the living room. At [-]:[-], the doorbell rang, and Morningstar saw a girl standing outside, wearing a peaked cap, her face buried in the shadows, through the videophone. unclear.

"Hello, who are you?"

"it's me."

Chen Xing was relieved to hear the familiar voice, and opened the door.

The girl entered the room and walked straight to the second bedroom. Chen Xing followed her, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. The girl's back looked a little strange.

He followed into the room, and saw the girl take off her peaked cap, revealing a "brand new" face.

Chen Xing froze in place, not knowing how to react, her fingers curled up unconsciously.

Chu Yu looked at him, touched the recording pen in his pocket, and smiled slightly: "Why, do you think I'm Xiaohan?"

"Sorry, I thought you were the teacher of Zhuosi Education."

Chu Yu didn't refute, and didn't get entangled in this question. She looked around and looked at his room. She wanted to check it out last time when she came to him. Now that she saw it, it was quite tidy. There were not many things in the room, mainly toys. , there are toy cars, cards, yo-yos, it looks new, but it doesn't look like something he can play with.It seems that Grandpa Jiang bought it blindly.

"I need you to come with me."

Chenxing took out her mobile phone: "You leave immediately, or I will call the police."

Chu Yu smiled, from expression, body movements to tone, all relaxed and at ease, like chatting among acquaintances: "You won't call the police."

The boy was a little flustered, but he tried his best to remain calm. He looked at Chu Yu without moving, holding the phone in his hand, as if he wanted to call Jiang Jianzhou.

"I should talk to you for a long time, so let's find another place, otherwise, when Grandpa Jiang comes back, it will be difficult to continue the conversation."

The boy seemed to remember something, his eyes moved: "You are a policeman!"

Chu Yu was noncommittal: "To be precise, I am the one who wants to help Xiaohan."

"Sorry, you've been talking nonsense since you came in, should I call 120?"

Chu Yu showed no sign of impatience, she took out her mobile phone, Xia Yihan's copycat phone, found out the text message, and shook it in front of the boy: "You sent it, right?"

The boy looked at the text message without responding or speaking, like an emotionless robot.

"I know it's inconvenient for you to speak because you have concerns, but you can rest assured that since I dare to investigate this matter, I have the ability to protect the person concerned, and will not let the person who provided me the information be harmed."

In fact, from getting along with Xia Yihan and collecting information piecemeal, Chu Yu realized that things were not simple. For example, Xia Yihan said that she washed her hair with dish soap; , Whether it is long-distance fighting or long-distance tracking, they are all good at it-obviously after professional training, and the training is arduous and rigorous, otherwise she would not be able to reach the level of instant killing professionals.

As for the degree of hardship, Chu Yu was terrified when he thought about it - the dishes she cooked were so virtuous that Xia Yihan ate them with great relish. Could it be that she had experienced the "famine period" and would not refuse food to anyone who came?

This time, she focused on Chen Xing instead of Jiang Jianzhou, because based on the information she has so far, it was Chen Xing who sent the text message, not Jiang Jianzhou.Although the latter is Xia Yihan's biological grandfather, he never appeared in Xia Yihan's early life.

Although Xia Yihan used his bank card and Alipay account, Chu Yu still wasn't sure about the intimacy and depth of understanding between the two, that is, he couldn't be sure that Jiang Jianzhou knew about it.

So the only thing she is sure about now is the text message Chenxing sent to Xiaohan, the sentence "Xiaohan I am here" contains too many things.Inferring from this, he should also know Xiaohan's past, and the tenacity shown in Xia Yihan can also be seen in him.

But at this moment, the insider, Chen Xing, obviously didn't want to cooperate.

"It's really inconvenient for me to talk, because a stranger broke into my house and said something inexplicable. What should I say? I can only ask you to leave."

Chu Yu has always been unhurried and lukewarm. It was obviously a tit-for-tat confrontation, but she adjusted it to a daily communication.

"Let me explain. I came here for Xiaohan. I came to investigate Jiang Jianzhou a few days ago, and it was also for Xiaohan. Xiaohan is Huai Phantom. You should know this, and you also know that she was arrested and she will face trial. .I came to you not to extract relevant criminal evidence, but to help Xiaohan. She is in a very bad situation and refuses to communicate with the outside world. You may think this is a good thing, but if she does not speak, then The sentence will be aggravated, because she refuses to plead guilty and has a bad attitude, and she will be even more miserable in prison in the future. Do you think this is a good thing for Xiaohan and you?"

Ten minutes later, Chu Yu and Chen Xing were sitting in the city garden. The location was relatively remote. Song Qingyang and Fang Datuo had checked in advance to confirm that there were no monitoring or monitoring equipment around.But now, Song Qingyang is following Jiang Jianzhou to ensure that his every move is under control and that no abnormalities will be found.

The blue sky was like washing, and the wind was cold in early winter. The leaves in the park were all over the place, and they were swept aside and piled up into leaf mounds.

Chu Yu and Chen Xing looked ahead. The carp in the pool was carefree. They sensed someone and swam towards them, as if they wanted to beg for bread. But this time, Chen Xing didn't bring anything. on the thigh.

There was a branch on Chu Yu's head, and the branches and leaves were still very lush in winter, casting a cluster of shadows on her face.

"Can we start now?"

Chen Xing sighed silently, he lowered his eyes, and seemed indifferent: "You said that you came to see me only for Xiaohan, to reduce her sentence, let her speak, and make her better, but I think you only came to see me for Xiaohan. For your career, for your meritorious deeds, if the entire Public Security Bureau can't do anything about her, you can get her statement and find out her past, so you can be rewarded by your superiors, which is considered meritorious service, isn't it? ?”

The corners of Chu Yu's lips rose slightly, as if he was smiling, but with a hint of self-mockery.She didn't explain, but asked rhetorically, "Is it in your heart that the police only see business as usual, and there is no favor at all?"

Chen Xing didn't answer, so it was the default.

Chu Yu turned his head and looked at him, "Let me guess, what are you thinking in your heart now. You must be thinking: what does she know about this person? What is her purpose? What is she trying to get out of me?" Then let me answer your question, I know a lot of things, I know Xiaohan’s past, I know her character, I also know why she committed a crime, why she became the Phantom of Sophora japonica. I know you know her and care about her , you want her to live a better life. I know she has no relatives to speak of in this world, but fortunately, she still has a friend like you. "

Chen Xing's lips moved slightly, his eyelashes raised, and his eyes drifted away.

"Since you know so much, why do you still ask me?"

"I want to know what she went through during the years you were with her."

Chen Xing didn't answer for a while, and Chu Yu felt that he still had concerns, always hovering on the edge of whether to say or not to say - when he just agreed to come out with her, he originally planned to speak out, but now he has regretted it.

"Sorry, you said you wanted to help Xiaohan, you wanted to make her better, but I believe Xiaohan didn't want others to know about her past, she wouldn't get better because of it, now she doesn't want to talk, that's her Your own choice, you have no right to disturb her. You and her are neither relatives nor friends. To put it bluntly, you and her are in a hostile relationship. You arrested her and locked her up. Get up, then what right have you to know about her past?"

Chu Yu's eyes were pale, and his voice was low and steady, like a soothing piano sound: "I am her future girlfriend."

Chen Xing's visibly visceral body shook, although he always tried to cover up his emotions, but he was young after all, the more he hid it, the more he wanted to cover it up, and Chu could figure out his reaction without much effort.

"So don't think of me as a policeman, think of me as a friend, I am Xiaohan's girlfriend, I will do my best for her, I will protect her, you are her friend, and I will protect you from harm .”

"Evidence," the boy was still stubborn, but his eyes showed some trust, "Do you have any evidence to prove your relationship with him?"

Chu Yu took out his mobile phone and turned out the treasured photo.

"You should be familiar with the photos on the police arrest warrant. They have been spread all over the country. You should have seen them too. In your impression, has Xiaohan ever smiled like this?"

Chen Xing looked at the photo with a smile like a flower, and was in a daze.

"But that day, she saw me, and she smiled. Later, I asked her relatives, but they didn't recognize her. This shows that she has not only changed, but also never liked to smile, or, in other words, never smiled very much. So carefree."

Chen Xing looked away from the photo, his complexion became heavy, from being perfunctory at the beginning, he became serious, and he looked even more anxious than when Chu Yu entered the room before.

"If you know Xiaohan's past, are you sure you can make her better?"

"I'm sure." Chu Yu paused for a moment, afraid that he would be worried, and added, "If it involves sensitive parts, or parts that she doesn't want others to know, I will keep it secret, and I just want to know everything, yes In order to be targeted, psychologically counsel her and prescribe the right medicine, the more I know, the more I understand how to protect her and how to bring her back."

Chen Xing nodded, and raised her eyes to look at Chu Yu's side face. She has a warm and courageous temperament, and her side face looks more peaceful, making people want to trust and rely on her.

"What do you want to know?"

"Xiao Han has been missing for four years, where has she been these four years?"

"She's in Liangdu."

Chu Yu's heart trembled.Sure enough, she did not look back at Jiang, nor did she stay in Chenyang, but went to her mother, her grandmother's hometown.

"Xiaohan was only 13 or 14 years old when she disappeared. How did she solve the problem of food and accommodation?"

"She doesn't need to worry about these, because someone has arranged for it."

"Oh? She lives in someone else's house?"

"She lives with me in an orphanage. The orphanage is so big that I don't even know how many branches there are. If you go in and visit it, you will see a big and orderly family. Someone Distributing food to us, washing our sheets, and teaching us talents, the room is neat and tidy, cleaned every day, taking care of our daily life, teaching us to read and write. We all live together, but Xiaohan has some Time doesn't live with us, it's in another place."

Chu Yu's gaze unconsciously turned to Chen Xing's legs—was he abandoned by his parents because of a birth disability and adopted by an orphanage?

"Are there mainly children who can't find their parents?"

"There are orphans, and there are children separated from their parents, but they are not local. They are all healthy, but after entering the orphanage, they are not so whole.

Chu Yu's back felt cold, she felt it, what would he say next.

"To live in an orphanage, to be adopted and educated, there is a condition that we must be disabled, because we need to use our body to make money, and people will see our body. The more disabled we are, the more pitiful we are, and the more we cannot survive. , the more they know how to give alms, they will give us money, and we will hand over the money to the orphanage, they need our body to make money."

Chu Yu fell silent, his exhaled breath was burning hot.

"What about Xiao Han?"

Why didn't she see any disability on Xia Yihan's body?

"Xiaohan..." The boy looked at the carp in the lake with pain in his eyes, "They don't use her body, they use her life."
