Zhao Pingsheng was deeply surprised by Lao Han's appearance.Seeing the look of "I want to talk to you" flashing in the other party's eyes, he finished talking with Lin Jiaqi, went downstairs with Lao Han and found a nearby grocery store to sit down.

In fact, both of them had eaten, and originally wanted to go to the drink shop next door, but when they went to the door and saw that there were young people sitting inside, they were embarrassed to go in.Besides, one year passed half a century, and one year of good hearing, the two old guys could basically only understand half of the drink names on the menu.For example, that so-and-so black tea macchiato, black tea knows, but what is a macchiato?What dirty fresh milk is there? How do you drink the dirty milk?

It is also a grocery store suitable for the elderly, the price is affordable and the environment is clean.One cup of black-bone chicken stewed with Cordyceps flower per person, and a fried plate of sixty-year-old vegetables.

After everything was ready, Lao Han lowered his head and picked up the steaming soup can, hesitantly said: "I just went to see Ronaldinho and heard him mention Lin Kairu, so I wanted to ask you what's going on? "

Zhao Pingsheng frowned: "I don't know, people's heartbeats are flickering in the ICU, how dare I ask... Oh, my younger brother and sister used to have a good relationship with her, I called to ask, but she said that since Lin Kairu broke up with Lao Chen I lost contact after that, and after so many years, I didn't even know that she had a son."

Thinking of the young man he saw on the ICU floor, Lao Han asked again, "Is that her son just now?"

"Well, he is a very promising young man. He studied at a teacher's school. He is a graduate student. He is also filial. These days, he runs between the hospital and the school." Zhao Pingsheng said, and suddenly smiled at himself. It’s so big in the blink of an eye, so worry-free.”

——If it's really your son, your family will have to kill someone.

When the words came to his lips, Lao Han swallowed the hot soup.As far as Fade Chen's temper is concerned, it is anxious at best, but muddled at worst.If Zhao Pingsheng really had an affair with his girlfriend back then, he would definitely have dug a pit with the surname Zhao at the gate of the Municipal Bureau and buried him alive.

Of course, Zhao Pingsheng just thought about it casually, and didn't dare to mention it to Fade Chen.There must be a story in which the father picked him up. Fortunately, DNA proved his innocence, otherwise Fade Chen would have shot him into a sieve with a gun.

The two old men made up their minds, and then they met the hero who had seen the same line of sight, and heard Lao Han say: "My life, I don't know if I should say something or not. If you think it is useful, just chase after it." It’s useless to look down, since I didn’t say it.”

"I probably know what you want to say." Zhao Pingsheng paused for a moment, and then his tone sank, "I thought about it, she might have been bullied at the time, and her reputation would be ruined if such things were spread in those days Oh, hey, don’t talk about that time, the ratio of rape reports is far below [-]%.”

Old Han nodded silently, and sighed: "If this is the case, the obstacle that prevents her from bringing the criminal to justice is not only her reputation, but also Fade Chen... In my life, I didn't say bad things about Fade Chen. Fade Chen knows, especially the young and energetic Fade Chen, can you imagine what will happen?"

Zhao Pingsheng shook his head with a wry smile.you still need to ask?If things were really as he and Lao Han had speculated, it would be strange if Fade Chen didn't rush out to kill the grandson immediately after he found out.

"But there is one thing I don't understand," Zhao Pingsheng frowned. "Why is she willing to keep the rapist's child?"

The chopsticks reaching out to sixties paused for a while, and Lao Han thought for a while and said, "Don't tell me, this kind of thing really happens... In the year I just retired, I received a woman from the forensic clinic, and I drank with clients when I was on a business trip." She drank too much and was raped by a male colleague when she was unconscious. She didn't know it. She didn't have her period for two months and went to the hospital for an examination. When she found out that she was pregnant, she suspected that man and came to me for amniotic fluid DNA. , so I can sue that man."

This kind of thing is not new to Zhao Pingsheng, what is new is the victim's choice: "Did she decide to keep the child?"

Lao Han nodded: "Yes, what she told me at the time was that she felt that she might never get married in her life, but she didn't want to be alone forever, so having a child would be considered a companion."

"Then she doesn't respond to that child?" Zhao Pingsheng frowned even tighter.

Old Han smiled and sighed: "Oh, this woman thinks differently from the man. She has motherhood, do you have it?"

"..."

This is really not the case, Zhao Pingsheng admitted.Sometimes it's fun to look at other people's children, can you let him raise them?Not that patient at all.He felt that all his patience in this life had been given to Fade Chen, and no one could take it away.

Lao Han said: "Of course, the above is purely guesswork, but I think Lin Kairu chose you as a cheap father without telling the truth to the child, and set up the image of the child as a glorious and great martyr because of the real reason. "

"Yes, so I am not in a hurry to ask now. If the facts are as you and I think, it will be a fatal blow to Lin Jiaqi. Who wants to be the child of a rapist, don't you think so?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Pingsheng shook his head regretfully, "It's best that we were wrong, otherwise it would be too unbearable for that child."

After hearing this, Lao Han smiled knowingly: "Hey, is this still emotional?"

It was Zhao Pingsheng who put on a happy smile: "The main reason is that Jiaqi's child is in pain. I heard that I have bad lungs. He specially bought a cotton vest and said that the temperature has dropped. He told me to keep warm and not catch a cold. "

After thinking for a while, Lao Han said: "I think he may really regard you as his father, or in other words, it coincides with the image of his imagined father, and he is willing to get close to you... and you have lived for most of your life. If you are filial, you will be flattered all of a sudden."

What Lao Han said was right, Zhao Pingsheng was really flattered by the care and consideration from the younger generation.All these years outside the family, he was the only one who worried about Fade Chen's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and expected that rough guy to be meticulous and considerate?forget it.It has been almost 30 years since I met him. If I asked Fade Chen what size shoes his old Zhao wears, he might not be able to answer.

But to be honest, he has never met anyone who is more proud than Fade Chen, and such a person can be his "wife" willingly, one can imagine how many psychological barriers he has to overcome, let alone give up all his pride .So even with such an unbalanced way of getting along, Zhao Pingsheng felt that his life was not in vain——

As long as he can look at Fade Chen closer than anyone else, it is a supreme privilege.



After eating and chatting with Lao Han, Zhao Pingsheng checked that it was less than nine o'clock, and thought about going to see Luo Jianan again.But when he got to the corridor of the ward, he saw that the window on the door of Luo Jianan's ward was dark, thinking that Qi Ming was there, he immediately turned back and ran towards the elevator.

Don't be so blind, right?

Going downstairs and getting into the car, he called Fade Chen to ask where he was.The other party is still working overtime in the bureau, and it is very likely that he will not be able to go home today.Although he had already left the serious crime team, Zhao Pingsheng kept up with the progress of every case over there.Recently, this burglary and homicide case was solved quickly, but the interrogation of the suspect involved the possibility of paying for the murder, so the director asked him to bother to keep an eye on it.

Turning on the in-vehicle communication system, he said to Fade Chen on the other end of the phone while driving: "I'm going back to the station now, it's okay to go home anyway."

"It's up to you, old bastard." The sound over there is smoking, but Zhao Pingsheng is not in front of him, as long as he is not caught, Fade Chen will not admit it, "How is Lin Kairu?"

"The situation is basically stable, and I should be able to transfer back to the general ward in two days."

"That's good, damn it scared me to death that day."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Zhao Pingsheng sighed: "Old Chen, if you want me to tell you, don't ask, she must have her own difficulties in deceiving children like that. It's been more than 20 years, so why—"

Fade Chen interrupted him with a snort: "Brother, you are a policeman. If you want to find out the truth, you have to ask the person concerned? Besides, from what I know about her, she is not the kind of person who doesn't know right from wrong. There must be something wrong with this matter." ...Hey, let's be blunt, I thought she was bullied back then, but I dare not tell me, I wanted to hide it from the child for the rest of my life, but unfortunately, by mistake, the child came to find his father by himself. "

There was another silence, and Fade Chen asked impatiently, "Did you hear me?"

"I heard you, Old Chen..." Zhao Pingsheng weighed it for a while, and finally decided to clarify the words: "Then you know, why didn't she tell you back then?"

This time it was Chen Fei's turn to be silent, and it took a while to hear a heavy sigh from the other side: "It's not because of my violent temper, she is afraid that something will happen to me."

——Well, good to know.

Zhao Pingsheng breathed a sigh of relief.As the saying goes, at fifty you will know your destiny, and at sixty your ears will be right.This person, as he grows older, the edges and corners are gradually smoothed, he is no longer impulsive when encountering things, and he is no longer one-sided in thinking about problems.If everything is as they speculated, Lin Kairu was bullied back then, but did not tell Fade Chen the truth for various reasons, then it can be said that her decision saved Fade Chen's life.

Then Fade Chen said firmly: "So, she thinks so much about me, I have to give her justice anyway, otherwise am I still a fucking man?"

"I didn't ask you to give her justice, but I thought about it..." After a pause, Zhao Pingsheng frowned and sighed, "The truth may be cruel, especially for that child Lin Jiaqi."

"..."

A suffocating silence fermented in the small space in the car.Under the night, the city is still bustling.As the car merged into the river, Zhao Pingsheng's dignified expression reflected in the rearview mirror was illuminated by street lights from time to time.Right now, apart from exchanging sighs, they don't know what to say to each other.

In the end, Fade Chen broke the silence: "Try not to let him know, and investigate quietly, after all, such cases have already..."

"The statute of limitations has passed."

"Ah."

"But you can't let that bastard get away with it."

"Correct."

Chen Fei's steadfastness is faith in Zhao Pingsheng: "Okay, I understand, Lao Chen, you can work on the case at hand, I will investigate this matter."

"You check it yourself?"

They were quite surprised there, not because they questioned Zhao Pingsheng's professional level. After all, after working in the serious crime team for so many years, the experience of Luo Jianan and his juniors in handling cases was not enough for Zhao Pingsheng.It's just that Zhao Pingsheng is now a political commissar. Although he is in charge of the entire city bureau, except for the young girls and boys in the secretariat, he has no soldiers who have worked on the front line.

Hearing the other party's tone seemed to be quite disdainful, Zhao Pingsheng was dissatisfied and said, "Can't you trust me?"

Fade Chen quickly explained: "No, but who do you use? Will your old lungs bleed if you run by yourself?"

For outsiders to listen to, what Chen Fei said was contemptuous of others, but Zhao Pingsheng knew in his heart that this was the performance of Chen Fei caring about himself, and he was very useful: "I have been looking for Lin Dong and the others for more than 20 years, and let the unsolved case team handle it." It's more suitable, they have experience."

"Indeed, but are you able to move them? They are subordinate units now, and this matter is our speculation from the beginning to the end, without any real evidence."

"Hey, you don't know Lin Dong, but you never shirk anything that makes the leader owe you favors."

"That's right, you should drive steadily first, and wait for the bureau to meet and talk about it in detail."

The phone hung up just in time for a red light. After stopping, Zhao Pingsheng tapped the steering wheel with his fingers, thought for a moment and dialed a number.

"Political Commissar Zhao?" Lin Dong's voice came out steadily after the connection, "Call me so late, is there something urgent?"

"Are you at the bureau or at home?"

"at home."

"Is it convenient to come to the bureau? I have something to discuss with you."

"Okay, I'll be there in half an hour."

Without any hesitation, Lin Dong responded immediately, and following Zhao Pingsheng, he heard Tang Zhexue's howling of wolves, mixed with barking of dogs——

"You just came back from a business trip today and have to work overtime? I've been sleeping alone for half a month!"
