He hasn't been a sister-in-law for many years

"Huh? What did you say?" The child's mother suspected that she had heard wrong, and asked her father suspiciously, "Dad, what did you say to die?"

The old man refused to say any more.

For a while in the dim bookstore, there was only the sound of electric fans and radios mixed with current.

The sky outside is becoming more and more gloomy, thick black clouds are rolling in from the sky, gathering above the head of the small county town, a heavy rain is imminent.

Lu Xingzhou sat on the ponytail, looked at the dark sky, and said casually, "Since damn it, he must have done something unforgivable...it happened 20 years ago, I didn't expect anyone to remember it."

"of course I remember."

Lu Xingzhou turned his head and saw a grey-haired old man standing up from behind the cash register. Under the dim light, he couldn't see his face clearly, only his face was full of wrinkles, with different shades and deep vertical and horizontal lines.

"Why should that security guard die?"

"Because he's a beast."

The child's mother came to her senses and shouted: "Dad, you said that about Lian Xiaolan? Didn't you all say it was a lie? Even Lian Xiaolan's father denied it, saying that even Xiaolan was not raped, it was her false accusation... "

"Lian Xiaolan?" Lu Xingzhou was stunned when he heard the name, and suddenly remembered that the king of hell called Lian Yi angrily called Lian Xiaolan, so he gasped, "Lian Yi? The school security raped Lian Yi?"

"It's just a rumor." Remembering that the man in front of her was a loyal fan of Lian Yi, the child's mother quickly waved her hands and said, "Don't take it to heart, Lian Yi was pretty at that time, loved to dress up, had an outgoing personality, and had a lot of gossip. It's all lies."

Lu Xingzhou: "You just said false accusation..."

"that……"

"It's true, it's not a false accusation," the old man said seriously. "That security guard is a social scum. He has committed crimes since he was a child. He found connections and joined the school as a security guard. He often touches female students."

The child's mother nodded: "I also heard from my classmates, but he never touched me, I thought everyone was exaggerating..."

The old man looked at his daughter and smiled: "In the years when you were in school, I went to the school gate every day when I had nothing to do. I deliberately made a fierce look. When he saw me, he didn't dare to move your crooked thoughts."

"Dad..." the child's mother murmured.

"I'm not patriarchal, but I also want to say that raising a daughter is more tiring than raising a son," the old man said with resounding indignation, "There are too many animals in this society!"

"You are an excellent father." Lu Xingzhou praised sincerely.

The old man waved his hand: "A normal father would do this."

Lu Xingzhou felt that there was something in his words, and tried to continue: "But there are also abnormal fathers, such as... Lian Yi, that is, Lian Xiaolan's father?"

"He's not fit to be a father."

The child's mother smiled and said, "Dad, look at what you said? They have cultivated a big star like Lian Yi, how can he not be worthy of being a father?"

"Did Lian Yi be brought up by him? Lian Xiaolan's mother died early, and the young child would run wildly in the streets all day long. Fortunately, there were fewer cars on the road at that time, and there were not so many child abductors."

"But in every era there are beasts who prey on little girls." Lu Xingzhou said softly, he already knew why Lian Yi's personal information did not include any experience before the age of 16.

Because the life of those ten years was not only lackluster, but even full of haze.

A child's growth path is the parent's path of creation. A young girl without parental discipline is like a piece of exquisite rice paper blown to the road by the wind. footprint.

The heavy rain that had been foretold for the day finally came, without any transition, the big raindrops fell directly, and it became pouring in a few seconds. The eaves outside the bookstore were like a waterfall, and the dense rain curtain completely covered Hold the line of sight.

Worried about the rain splashing on the books, the old man and the child's mother closed the doors and windows of the bookstore together.

Lu Xingzhou got up and was about to say goodbye. Before leaving, he asked the old man, "Master, did Lian Yi report to the police?"

"If you don't call the police, others won't know about it," the old man stood at the door, holding a hook, and pulled down the shutter door half a meter. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "It's only when I called the police that I was pointed at." , In the end, I couldn’t even go to school.”

"Thank you for letting me know." Lu Xingzhou nodded in greeting.

The old man smiled: "Aren't you teachers? It's almost the same as cheating on my daughter. I think you look like police officers."

"We are not police officers either." Lu Xingzhou took out his work ID card, "We are from the special investigation team of Baiye City, and we are investigating another case involving Lian Yi."

"Didn't Lian Xiaolan commit a crime?"

"Probably not."

"This child was pitiful since he was a child. Now that he has grown up, I hope he can live a better life for a few more days."

"And we hope so."

The old man pulled the shutter door to the end, and the broken copper and iron made a loud crash, completely isolating the bookstore from the sound of the rain outside.

Lu Xingzhou turned his head to look at the overwhelming rain curtain outside the eaves, then turned his head to look at Shi Yinyu: "How to say?"

"I'm hungry."

"My lord," Lu Xingzhou smiled, "Is this what you felt after hearing a tragic story?"

"The security guard is horrible, Lian Yi is pitiful." Shi Yinyu immediately changed his words.

Lu Xingzhou raised his eyebrows, thinking that this guy should never end.

Sure enough, Shi Yinyu continued: "I'm hungry."

"Heartless little monster." Lu Xingzhou pinched his cheeks, "Let's go, go to the store next door to buy an umbrella, and find a place to finish eating."

The two bought an umbrella next door, walked into the rain curtain, the largest umbrella could not completely cover the two tall men, Shi Yinyu was almost half body in the rain.

Lu Xingzhou was helpless: "I said I should buy two."

"Buy two and there is no discount." Shi Yinyu said, "If the clothes are wet, they can be dried, and the money will be gone."

"Bullshit!"

On a rainy day, there were no customers in the fly restaurant by the side of the road. The two entered, ordered two dishes and one soup, and sat down at the table near the door.

The cool wind blows into the door with moisture, and it is much cooler without turning on the fan.

The food was served quickly. The taste of Qianshan County is salty and spicy. A plate of spicy chicken is full of red peppers.

Shi Yinyu picked up a pepper and threw it into his mouth, chewing.

Lu Xingzhou looked at him curiously: "Is it spicy?"

"Not as spicy as you."

"Tsk..." Lu Xingzhou picked up a piece of chicken and stuffed it into his mouth, his lips parted slightly under Shi Yinyu's expectant eyes, "Tenderer than you."

Shi Yinyu slapped the table angrily: "Boss, I don't want this plate of spicy chicken!"

Lu Xingzhou laughed out loud.

The boss came out of the back kitchen in a daze: "What did you say about the spicy chicken?"

"It's nothing," Lu Xingzhou smiled, "Boss, take two bottles of beer."

Shi Yinyu: "One bottle will do."

"Suddenly saving so much?" Lu Xingzhou mocked, "Aren't you all homeowners?"

Shi Yinyu smiled: "I quit drinking."

"real or fake?"

"Why lie to you?" Shi Yinyu said to the boss, "A bottle of beer."

"Okay, wait a moment."

A bottle of cold beer was opened, Lu Xingzhou took a sip directly from the bottle, and asked Shi Yinyu, "How did you stop drinking? I remember you loved this sip."

"It's a mistake to drink."

"Ok?"

Shi Yinyu said helplessly: "If I hadn't been drunk on the night of the wedding, we would have bridal chamber long ago. Damn, my beloved wife is so delicious, I didn't eat it until nine years later!"

"...You are really promising." Lu Xingzhou praised sincerely.

The two of them had been exhausted for a day, and they were indeed hungry. They ate cleanly, sat at the table, and looked at the rain scene outside the door.

Lu Xingzhou said: "Do you think that security guard is punished by God?"

"Do you think there is divine punishment?" Shi Yinyu asked back.

Lu Xingzhou froze for a moment, then laughed. It is said that there are seven realms in the world, gods, immortals, Buddhas, humans, demons, ghosts, and spirits. It was directly falsified by some scholars.

There is no god in this world at all, where is the punishment from God?

People always feel that there should be a heaven on everyone's head. He guards all sentient beings. When sentient beings make mistakes, he will send down divine punishment. When sentient beings are wronged, he will help them in need.

It's a pity that the way of heaven has failed the pious beings time and time again.

"In the hearts of our monsters, there is no god to worship," Shi Yinyu said, "We don't believe in any divine punishment either. Instead of pinning our hopes on these illusory things, I am more inclined to avenge revenge and retaliate against grievances, and do it myself. .”

Lu Xingzhou: "Do you think there is something strange about the security guard's death?"

"Then who knows? It's been 20 years since this happened. It's been too long, and there's no monitoring. It's estimated that even witnesses can't be found."

Lu Xingzhou suddenly laughed: "Who said there were no witnesses?"

"Ok?"

"Land, buildings, trees, flowers and birds... are all witnesses. If you want people to know, you have to do nothing."

It was raining slightly outside, Lu Xingzhou and Shi Yinyu finished paying for the meal, and walked into the rain under the same umbrella.

It was completely dark, and there were few pedestrians on the street. Shi Yinyu held an umbrella in one hand, and forcibly held Lu Xingzhou in his arms with the other hand. Looking from behind, it was quite romantic to walk on the street in a rainy night.

However, Lu Xingzhou didn't feel the romance, he just wanted to scold this little monster for something wrong, why must he squeeze under one umbrella when two umbrellas can solve the problem?

Don't I feel bad when you get wet? ? ?
