Dressed as a scum who abandoned his wife and daughter

Lin Xi told Chu Muqing all the clues she had obtained, including Chu Muyun's experience in that village, and what the Chu family did when she was kidnapped and the kidnapper asked for a ransom. choice.

After she finished speaking, Chu Muqing remained silent for a long time.

Her eyes were very empty, Lin Xi didn't know what she was thinking.

At this moment, no amount of words of comfort might have any effect on her. Lin Xi held her hand with very light strength, trying to give her some strength with the heat of his palm.

"I'm a little cold, Lin Xi." Chu Muqing said suddenly.

Lin Xi turned around and took her coat, then walked back to her, wrapping her tightly.

Lin Xi looked at Chu Muqing quietly, and after a long silence, crystal clear liquid fell silently from her eye sockets.

She also clearly knew what kind of blow Chu Muyun's death once caused to her.

Especially before Chu Muyun died, he went through such a desperate experience, in such a backward village, where the literary name was close to extinction, and suffered such a miserable experience, for Chu Muqing, it must be difficult to accept .

Lin Xi exhaled, held her hand again, and said in a hoarse voice: "The police's next investigation will start with the kidnappers who fled and committed crimes back then, and the school where Chu Muyun studied before he was alive. The investigation of Jiashao Village Hand it over to the police, I won't find anything if I stay here, I want to go to the school where Chu Muyun studied."

Chu Muqing was silent for a long time, her mind was very confused at the moment, after a while, she took the tissue that Lin Xi handed over, wiped away the tears on her face, then lowered her eyes, and replied: "I'm with you go."

Lin Xi nodded: "Okay." She said puzzledly: "I always feel that something is not right. According to the confession of the Chu family back then, Mrs. Chu insisted that Chu Muyun eloped with someone, a freshman A student who eloped with someone and died in an inexplicable village. She had limited contact with people. The person she loved was most likely someone in the school, or someone she could usually contact. Why didn't the police investigate Who is that person who came out?"

Chu Muqing raised her eyes to look at her, her voice was still choked with sobs: "In everyone's eyes, she is an optimistic, lively and cheerful person with excellent grades. It is impossible for her to interact with people when she was a student. Pregnant, temporarily suspended from school, but she never told us who was the one who made her pregnant."

Lin Xi sighed: "She really likes that person, she would rather bear it alone, but that person directly abandoned her after being kidnapped."

Chu Muqing then smiled wryly. She had asked Chu Muyun in private back then why she did such a thing.

But Chu Muyun's eyes were full of firmness, telling her that she was fed up with everything from the Chu family, she was fed up with being treated like a commodity by Mrs. Chu, who trained her only for the future, and she wanted to live for herself , live for love.

"After returning to the capital, can you accompany me to see grandma?" Chu Muqing looked at Lin Xi and asked softly.

"But..." Lin Xi frowned, and looked at Chu Muqing puzzledly: "Her temper is meaningless after seeing her, right? Maybe she is the same as those people in Jiashao Village, and they don't know each other at all. I feel that I was wrong. However, if she had chosen to call the police back then, it might have been another one who took over."

"I know." Chu Muqing frowned, "But I have something to ask her."

Lin Xi turned his head and looked at the weather outside the window. Outside the transparent glass window, the entire sky was gloomy.

She turned her head and walked to the window, looking at the street below. The snow on the ground had almost been cleared. Lin Xi looked at the time on his watch and said, "Then go to the hospital to see Mrs. Chu tonight."

"Ah."

Lin Xi went straight to the side to pack her things, but she didn't bring a salute when she came to Dongguan County, and Chu Muqing also came by car, neither of them brought anything.

Chu Muqing was not in good condition, and when she returned, Lin Xi planned to drive herself and let her take a good rest in the car.

"Oh, by the way, do the Chu family still have the relics of Chu Muyun at that time?" Lin Xi asked.

Perhaps from those things, they can find relevant clues. After all, it is impossible for a girl who is in love to have a crush on someone without leaving any evidence.

Chu Muqing shook her head, frowned and said: "After my sister passed away, they burned everything about her, and everything in her room was gone."

Lin Xi's face darkened.

This also means that it is unlikely to be able to find clues.

Lin Xi looked at her pale face, and didn't ask any more questions. She walked into the bathroom, turned on the tap, and washed her face with cold water. After her buzzing mind cleared up, she called You En in the bathroom.

The other end of the phone was quickly picked up, and the other party remained silent in the same Eun-style speaking style as before.

Lin Xi got straight to the point: "I'm currently in Dongguan County, and you've read the hot searches. Regarding the death of your other cousin, Chu Muyun, I need your help now."

Lin Xi briefly explained the process to You En, and You En was short of breath, and asked, "What do you want me to investigate?"

Lin Xidao: "Can you find out all the information that Chu Muyun left on the Internet before his death?" She also emphasized: "It is all, including those sent by the same IP address."

Eun was silent for a while: "I will try my best."

Lin Xi responded.

You En said the word as far as possible, which shows that it is still difficult.Times have changed, and network technology has been upgraded at a rapid pace. Things from the past have to be investigated again, and after so many years, no one can guarantee that they will be able to find anything.

"Please, Eun."

Eun paused, then asked again: "Is sister with you?"

Lin Xi thought about it and said, "Yes, don't worry, she will be fine with me here."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xi felt more and more that the person who fell in love with Chu Muyun was a bit shameless. That person first ran away, and then acted like a normal person. After hiding for so many years, he hid himself very well and hid himself from all the police. out of sight.

Doesn't he have nightmares?

When he dreamed back at midnight, wouldn't he dream of the innocent woman who was abandoned by him?

Why didn't he call the police?

Why didn't he choose to call the police after he escaped from the kidnappers alone.

Lin Xi couldn't understand all this at the moment.

Professor Luo is a well-known professor. She has assisted the police in solving many well-known cases and is a famous expert in criminal psychology.On the way back to the hotel, Lin Xi searched for the professor's information on the Internet.

A statement made by Professor Luo left a deep impression on her.

If humanity can be trusted, it is not human nature.

Lin Xi couldn't waste any more time. The weather forecast said that it would snow again. In order to prevent the road from becoming congested again, she and Chu Muqing immediately left Dongguan County.

Lin Xi was driving the car in front, and Chu Muqing was resting in the back seat.

Once out of Dongguan County, Lin Xi's dullness seemed to have finally eased as his field of vision gradually broadened.

Jiashao Village really had a great impact on her, not only to her, since the incident was brought up on the Internet, the trending searches have not come down.

Everyone really doesn't understand.

In today's age, there is still such a backward village with such a group of ignorant and foolish people who are doing illegal things without knowing it.

Fortunately, we now have sound laws, just police officers, and upright people.

None of us will allow such a thing to exist again, and none of us will allow such a thing to happen again.

When turning at the intersection ahead, Chu Muqing, who was half asleep, slowly opened her eyes.

"Lin Xi, where are you?" She murmured, looking at the large open fields on both sides of the road.

Lin Xi reminded her: "It's still early, you should take a good rest."

Chu Muqing didn't listen to her and continued to rest, but suddenly asked her: "Why don't those people feel that they are at fault?"

Lin Xi paused.

Yeah, why don't they feel that they are at fault for doing such a thing?

Is it just that they are ignorant and do not understand the law, so they feel that they are not wrong?

"When everyone around you is doing one thing, when you have received that kind of education since birth, under the influence of your ears and eyes, maybe everything will become numb and take it for granted."

After Lin Xi finished speaking, he continued: "Actually, it is very difficult for anyone to get out of such a situation. Family of origin is an eternal topic. Do you know that before I came to this world, the village where I lived Later, my classmates were also repeating the occupations that their parents had done. Some farmed and grew vegetables, and then took them to the city to sell, and some got married when they were old. Few people can leave, but at least ...they did not break the law."

"There is a thing that has been tormenting me. I haven't told you. There was a girl in our class back then. She had no father, only a mother. She was always bullied by boys in the class, but she had a good friend. That boy always Good for her, played with her when she was isolated, but then one day, that girl got kicked and punched by bad boys—”

Lin Xi said this and took a deep breath.

Chu Muqing asked: "And then?"

"Then, the boy with whom she had a good relationship passed by her. She looked at him with begging eyes, longing for him to come and help her." Lin Xi said, "The boy stood still and waited for her to be bullied." It's over, let's go."

"He raised his foot and kicked the girl viciously on the stomach. Under the surprised eyes of the girl, the boy asked her:"

"Why are you not afraid of me? Why are you afraid of them, but not me?"

Chu Muqing frowned tightly.

"Environment can change people." Lin Xidao: "Those people in Jiashao Village, everyone tells them that you have broken the law, and they will think that we did this kind of thing, and everyone is doing it like this. They will feel that everyone is wrong and they are wronged."

Lin Xi sneered, and said coldly: "But if you tell them that if you do this, your children will be pointed at for the rest of their lives, and their future will be ruined because of you, and they will feel fear, fear."

Chu Muqing paused, and asked, "Lin Xi, what kind of role did you play when that female classmate was being bullied?"

Lin Xi closed his eyes and said in a regretful tone, "I'm sorry, I'm a bystander."

Chu Muqing was silent.

Her lips moved, but she didn't know what to say.

"You know... I told you that I was worse than her at that time. I didn't have parents. In that environment, being bullied by people in my class was even worse. If I stood up and helped that girl, I will end up in the same way." Lin Xi took a deep breath: "No matter how long it has passed, I will always remember it, it is like an eternal stain, and it has been reminding me afterwards, don't be like that girl In the same way, when you encounter someone who dares not resist bullying, don’t be a villain like that boy, don’t be influenced by the external environment, have your own judgment on good and evil, and never be a cold-eyed bystander.”

"That's the one thing I regret the most."

Lin Xi took a deep breath, and said slowly: "But when I found that girl later, when I mentioned my regrets to her, she didn't remember anything, even the people who bullied her at that time."

Chu Muqing was stunned for a few seconds: "Did you forget?"

"Yes."

Lin Xi smiled wryly.

"The mistakes I made will always be with me, and I will never be forgiven by her."

"I think it's an invisible revenge... because of her forgetting, I can't get rid of it for the rest of my life, and I will always live in self-condemnation."

"So, I hope those villagers, those accomplices, they can live."

"If they live, they can meet their retribution."

"The present newspaper to welcome them."

"A current report that lasts a lifetime."

"If that's the case, it's far better than them being dead."

,

It was late at night when the vehicle arrived at the hospital.

The corridors of the entire hospital were quiet. Most of the patients in the inpatient department had already rested. Occasionally, I saw a few nurses passing by, and they deliberately kept their voices very soft when they walked.

When they came to the door of a ward, a nurse called them to stop: "Two ladies, are you here to see a patient?"

Lin Xi and Chu Muqing stopped together.

Lin Xi didn't say a word, Chu Muqing spoke first: "En."

"It's very late now, and all the patients need to rest. If you don't have any urgent matters, I suggest you come back tomorrow?"

The nurse kindly reminded her, and even her voice became very quiet in order not to affect the rest of the patients in the ward.

Lin Xi pointedly said to her: "Don't worry, we are not seeing patients."

The nurse was startled, but then immediately understood.

She naturally understood. To be exact, all the nurses in the inpatient department knew about that stubborn old lady of the Chu family.

Her story has long been known.

When I first came to the hospital, I was injured on my forehead. It was a wound caused by a heavy object, and the skin was broken.

She came to the hospital crying and crying, saying that she was dizzy and might have a concussion, and insisted on being hospitalized.

In fact, according to the news that came out later, the old lady of the Chu family hit the wound on purpose, maybe she hit the wall on purpose.

But when she hit the wall, she didn't want to use her strength deliberately, so she only rubbed a layer of skin.

Even though the doctor clearly told her that she was only slightly injured and did not need to be hospitalized, the old lady still insisted that she was dizzy.

So, the person stayed in the hospital.

Unlike others, the old lady treats the nurse who takes care of her like a servant.

One day she said she wanted to eat abalone, and the next day she said she wanted to drink shark fin soup. According to her appetite, she didn't seem to be seriously ill enough to need to be hospitalized.

When everyone mentioned this old lady, they all frowned and shook their heads.

Fortunately, things like buying shark fin soup do not belong to their job scope, so one night, a fierce quarrel broke out between the old lady and her second son.

She wanted Uncle Chu who came to buy shark fin soup for her, but Uncle Chu refused, and the two quarreled over it.

In everyone's eyes, it seems that a conclusion has been formed tacitly.

This wealthy family is indeed "a loving mother and a filial son".

Later, when the police came several times, they realized that maybe the old lady had committed something.

Came in hiding in the hospital.

"Sorry, you go in." The nurse was a little puzzled.

The two women who came to see Mrs. Chu were not evil no matter in terms of their clothes or appearance.

It's completely different from the old lady Chu with a fierce face, and it doesn't look like a family.

Without thinking about it, she turned around and went back to work.

Lin Xi and Chu Muqing pushed open the door of the ward, and what they saw was the brightly lit ward.

The old lady Chu looked more fat on her face than before, and her whole face was oily and smooth, which shows that the food in the hospital seems to be good.

Chu Muqing closed the door and stood there without moving.

The old lady was still asleep, but Lin Xi didn't care about it, and walked directly to the old lady Chu's bed, lifted the quilt on her body, touched her arm lightly, and shouted: "Wake up!" .”

As soon as she finished speaking, the person on the bed shivered, but his eyes were still closed.

The old lady Chu muttered: "I've said everything I need to say. Even if you are the police, you can't harass good citizens."

Lin Xi sneered: "You can't even hear my voice? I'm Lin Xi."

The old lady Chu still had her eyes closed, but quickly shrank back under the quilt.

It seems that as long as she shrinks in again, she can avoid seeing Lin Xi.

Lin Xi turned around, exchanged a glance with Chu Muqing, and said, "If you have anything to ask, just ask."

Chu Muqing came closer and asked the old lady Chu who was still pretending to sleep with her eyes closed: "Is it true that Chu Muyun was kidnapped?"

The old lady Chu refused to say anything, and even turned her back to them.

It's like you can't hear it.

Seeing this, Lin Xi said, "I think it's fake, right? She should be deceiving the police and affecting their progress in handling the case. I'll find Officer Luo's phone number and tell him that this person gave a false statement. "

As soon as she spoke, Mrs. Chu opened her eyes.

Even though she was old, she moved very nimbly and sat up from the bed. She didn't care about Lin Xi's identity at the moment, stared at her and Chu Muqing with great resentment and said, "Are you trying to force me to death? The police are going to force me to die." Me, you want to force me too?"

Chu Muqing shook her head: "No one wants to force you. We came here just to ask you a few questions. That was the first one just now."

The old lady Chu's eyes were still resentful: "She eloped with someone and was kidnapped in that village in the end, which is retribution!"

Chu Muqing clenched her fists in her cuffs, and her nails sank into her flesh: "The second question, why didn't you call the police when the kidnapper called?"

"Call the police? Why call the police?" Mrs. Chu took it for granted, "I called the police, and the police would definitely advise the Chu family to pay the ransom first. Why should I call the police?"

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment: "Why are you so sure that the police will ask the Chu family to pay first? Instead of the police directly deploying in front of Dongguan County?"

The old lady Chu muttered: "This is always done in TV dramas."

Lin Xi: ...

That's how it's done in TV shows...

She really didn't expect that an old lady from a rich family, such an old lady who was so arbitrary, said one thing in the Chu family, and had such a desire to control.

To say such a thing.

Chu Muqing was also speechless and shocked, she didn't know what to say for a while.

Fortunately, seeing that she was not in the right state, Lin Xi stretched out his hand to wrap her shoulders, and at the same time patted her on the back reassuringly.

Chu Muqing exchanged glances with her, and then asked her third question: "When the kidnappers called, how much ransom did they ask for?"

According to the clues that the police interrogated the villagers in Jiashao Village.

After Chu Muyun was kidnapped by the kidnappers, the Chu family refused to pay the ransom because the kidnappers demanded too much money, and chose to give her up directly.

This undoubtedly indirectly led to Chu Muyun's death, including the cannibalistic village, the Chu family and them were all the people who finally contributed to Chu Muyun's death, and these people were not innocent.

Therefore, Lin Xi also particularly wanted to know what kind of huge sum it was that made Mrs. Chu choose to hide it when she received the call.

Facing the gazes of Lin Xi and Chu Muqing, the old lady Chu said bitterly, "They're so loud, they want [-], that damn girl didn't even spend that much money on her studies!"

Chu Muqing was silent for a long time.

She lowered her eyebrows and closed her eyes slowly: "Yes, she has always had a scholarship."
