Chapter 108 What Happened

After interviewing the forensic doctor, Captain Pan checked the time and found that it was already lunch time. He warmly invited the three of Lu Beicen to have a working meal in the canteen of the criminal police team.

Lu Beicen naturally wished for it, because this is not just a matter of a meal, but more opportunities for communication and communication. After all, according to her current understanding, the column does not have a fixed line reporter in the Blue Lake District. If she can seize the opportunity and establish a long-term connection with this place, it means that there will be an additional source of subject matter.

Sure enough, while they were eating, a few policemen in casual clothes came in from outside. They all had just washed their faces, but the dripping water couldn't cover up the tiredness on their faces and the smell of sweat on their bodies.

Captain Pan reached out his hand to greet them: "How is it, have you cleared everything?"

A black-faced crew cut wiped the water from his face: "Well, it's all gone."

"Okay, you have worked hard, eat quickly, and take a rest after eating. By the way, Cai Zhihua, you can grab a meal and sit down. These are TV reporters. I will interview you later." Captain Pan greeted another hair A little curly big tall guy.

"Oh, okay, I'll be right over." The policeman named Cai Zhihua responded immediately.

Lu Beicen naturally found a topic: "Team Pan, you have worked hard."

"That's right, I caught someone back in the middle of the night yesterday and had a sudden interrogation overnight, and now." Captain Pan nodded, thought for a while and said, "Actually, I think this case is quite unique. It's not easy to solve this case. gone."

Lu Beicen suddenly became interested: "What kind of case is it? Can you tell me?"

"It was also a vicious homicide case, but in order to find the murderer, it can be said that it took a lot of effort, and it also benefited from the effective cooperation of our public security internal work. Let us sort out the specifics of the case. I personally think this is the case. This case is interesting to report." It has to be said that Captain Pan is not only a master at whetting the appetite, but also has a good sense of proportion.

Lu Beicen couldn't keep asking, and he had to express his understanding: "That's okay, when Team Pan thinks the time is right, then contact me."

Cai Zhihua came over with a meal, and first greeted Lu Beicen and the others. It was obvious that he was really hungry. After eating a meal, he smiled and said, "Guide Lu, you see that you have interviewed our captain and the others. As a forensic doctor, what I know is similar to what they know, so I don’t need to say any more, right?”

Lu Beicen quickly explained with a smile: "Officer Cai, our first episode lasts about [-] minutes. Whether it is the pictures or the interviewees, we hope to be richer, and we can also complement each other when making the film, but it still takes trouble." Please support us in our work."

Seeing that Lu Beicen's explanation was so specific, Cai Zhihua was a little embarrassed, and rubbed the back of his head: "Since the road guide said so, I must support it. Then I'll take a shower first and change into the police uniform."

"That's fine, you go, and later in the afternoon, you see who you take with you, and guide them to the detention center for interrogation with Lu."

Captain Pan explained the work to Cai Zhihua, then looked at the three of Lu Beicen and asked, "Are you going to take a break at noon? Our team has a reception room, so you can lean in for a while."

Lu Beicen hesitated for a moment, Xue Feng asked with experience: "Team Pan, is the detention center far from our team?"

"It's not very far, let's drive for half an hour."

Lu Beicen immediately understood Xue Feng's meaning, and immediately said: "Then we should bother Team Pan at noon and continue to finish the interview, otherwise it will be too late to go to the detention center in the afternoon, and I'm afraid it will be too late."

Team Pan smiled and nodded: "That's fine, just follow your arrangements!"

"Team Pan is too polite. The main reason is that you are also busy with work. Let us speed up the progress so as not to always disturb your work."

"You can't say that. You are here to help us with our propaganda work. We definitely welcome you and fully cooperate."

The interview continued. In the first half of the case, because the police had obtained the chat records of Zhang Hui and Qingye, the police knew it very well. However, the situation since Zhang Hui came to the provincial capital, Huxia City, only had some key points in time and The plot is over.

It was only after Lu Beicen met Zhang Hui in the detention center that he roughly recovered what happened afterwards.

In the summer four years ago, Zhang Hui took the first train full of joy and came to Huxia, looking for his long-cherished girlfriend, but it was a fashionable middle-aged woman who came to greet him.

After confirming Zhang Hui's identity, the woman introduced herself: "Hi Xiao Zhang, I am Xia Yu, Ye Zi's godmother. You can call me Aunt Xia. Ye Zi asked me to pick you up."

Zhang Hui was very disappointed, and naturally he was in a bad mood: "Why didn't she come by herself?"

"Yezi quarreled with her parents last night because of you. She suddenly had appendicitis in the middle of the night and was sent to the hospital. She asked me to pick you up. I apologize to you by the way. I just came from the hospital and I left. At that time, she had just been pushed into the operating room, so she probably hasn't come out yet." Aunt Xia's tone was gentle and she spoke very firmly, which made Zhang Hui relax his vigilance immediately.

Seeing Zhang Hui standing still, Xia Yu took the luggage from his hand and said, "Let's go Xiao Zhang, let's find a place to eat first."

"Then when can I see Ye Zi?" Zhang Hui followed Xia Yu and left the station with the crowd.

Xia Yu sighed, with a regretful expression on her face: "Auntie, tell the truth, don't you don't like to hear it, the conditions between you and Ye Zi are too far apart, her parents were furious when they heard about your relationship , When I went to see her today, they even confiscated her mobile phone."

Zhang Hui stopped for a while, Xia Yu turned and looked at him: "Go, why don't you go?"

Zhang Hui was in a complicated mood and also very depressed: "Then I won't be able to see her, so I might as well go back first."

"Look at you child, it wasn't your aunt who said you, you retreated like this, how dare you say that you really like our leaves?"

"Auntie, what do you think I should do?"

"If it were me, I would have to gain a firm foothold in Huxia first, and then make a good appearance so that I could stand upright in front of her parents."

When Zhang Hui heard it, he also felt that it made sense: "Auntie, how can I gain a firm foothold?"

"Are you going to stand here and talk? Why don't you go and eat something with your aunt first."

Zhang Hui followed Xia Yu's pace again: "Auntie, will you object to the matter between me and Ye Zi?"

Xia Yu smiled very gently and kindly: "If Auntie is such a vulgar person, would she help Ye Zi to pick you up? The old saying goes well, don't bully the young and poor. Ye Zi has kissed me since she was a child, and often mentions you in front of me. Saying that you have ideals and understand romance, I have long wanted to meet you."

Xia Yu took Zhang Hui to a Cantonese-style tea restaurant near the station, and had a very sumptuous breakfast. Zhang Hui was dazzled by the exquisite dishes and snacks. It was a poor boy who entered the city and opened his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Yu took Zhang Hui to a nearby shopping mall, bought some new clothes, and joked with him: "Young man is handsome, but no one dresses you up."

Zhang Hui ate the Cantonese-style morning tea that he had never eaten before, and wore new clothes that did not dare to look at the price of the tag, and finally shivered in an unworldly manner: "Auntie, you are so kind to me, I really don't know how to return it." Your kindness."

"Auntie just likes Ye Zi, and also likes to see you together. Auntie's child has gone abroad, and Auntie divorced a long time ago. Thanks to Ye Zi, she often comes to accompany me. You will do the same in the future. Treat Auntie's house as your own. Settling down at the aunt's house, and then the aunt will help you find a job, and when Ye Zi recovers from her illness, she will be able to come and see you after a while, do you think this is good?"

Zhang Hui has never seen a middle-aged woman speak so softly, touchingly, and considerately. In the environment he lives in, women of this age are like his mother. When they open their voices, the whole street can hear them .

In addition, when he first arrived in a completely unfamiliar environment, whether he had met the girlfriend he wanted to see, Xia Yu's every move greatly calmed his inner anxiety, and he accepted Xia Yu's offer almost without resistance. Suggested, follow her back home.

Xia Yu's family lives in a staff dormitory in a unit community. When leading him home, Xia Yu kept saying hello to the acquaintances he met in the community, and introduced Zhang Hui to them as a child of a relative who came to Huxia to find a job.

Xia Yu's home is a structure of three bedrooms and two halls, and there are indeed only traces of one person's life. After living in Zhang Hui for half a month, the loss of not seeing his girlfriend became more and more obvious. In addition to taking care of him every day, Xia Yu made him feel at ease. In addition, she was indeed helping him find a job. Just when his emotions were on the verge of breaking out, Xia Yu found him a job in time, working as a security guard in a community.

Zhang Hui moved to the dormitory of the security guard in the community, started a new city life, and gradually began to get in touch with the world outside the small county.At the same time, Qing Ye recovered from her illness and started to go online, and resumed her online chat with Zhang Hui.

Aoba apologized and comforted Zhang Hui, besides telling him about those illusory poems and distant places, there was one more person in their conversation: Xia Yu.

Xingchen Dahai (Zhang Hui's screen name): Auntie Xia is very kind to me, I am very grateful to her, but I think she is quite lonely living alone, so we can visit her more in the future.

Aoba: Okay, okay, I also like my godmother the most, she even praised me that you are handsome, and she listened to my advice.Don't think my godmother is getting old, but her mentality is really not old, and she can understand us young people very well. I think I can tell her what I can't say to my mother.

Xingchen Dahai: Well, I also think that her words are nice and reasonable. I have seen women of their age before, and they either speak coldly or roar like a lion, which is scary.

Aoba: Hahahahaha, why are you so hurtful, you didn’t talk like that before.

Xingchen Dahai: This is called no harm without comparison. By the way, I only found out after I arrived in Huxia that I knew very little before. How could you fall in love with me?
Aoba: Yeah, yeah, my Brother Xingchen also feels inferior?Let's not care about those external things, okay?That's because you haven't seen their ugly souls, hugs!
Xingchenhai: I have nothing to be ashamed of, I have never lied to you, I am me, I can show you what I am, but I really miss you and want to see you.

Aoba: I miss you too, but I don’t dare to move a single step now. My mother said that if I do something wrong, my legs will be broken. After I graduate from university, I will be free. If you want I'm dead, so I went to my godmother's house to have a look, there are flowers I raised and dolls I like there.Also, you have to wait for me...

Zhang Hui's heart was softened into a puddle of water by the green leaves. For him, such a life didn't seem to be very difficult. Anyway, they were just online dating in the past. They had never met each other. It didn't matter what they got. , Naturally, there is no pain of gain and loss, but only full of affectionate imagination about the future.

From then on, Zhang Hui would go to Xia Yu's house whenever he was on vacation. Gradually, when he talked with his colleagues, he unconsciously said that going to Xia Yu's house meant going home, because Xia Yu was so kind to him From summer to autumn, from autumn to winter, the clothes for the four seasons are carefully prepared for him. He has never enjoyed this kind of treatment.

Before the Spring Festival, the manager arranged shifts for the security guards. Because Zhang Hui was the youngest and came the latest, he arranged shifts for the [-]th and the first and second grades of junior high school. Zhang Hui felt that he was being bullied and had a big argument with the manager. In a fit of rage, he went to Xia Yu's house again. After Xia Yu heard what had happened, not only did he not say anything about him, but he also hugged him very gently: "Say, what do you want, auntie to help you vent your anger? "

Zhang Hui said bitterly: "This job has no future, I don't want to do it anymore."

Xia Yu said indifferently: "If you don't do it, then don't do it. Then Auntie will take you to resign now and move your things back. Let's look for a job after the Chinese New Year. There are more opportunities for recruitment in the spring."

After that, Xia Yu not only bought a ticket for Zhang Hui to go home, but also bought many gifts.

The night before leaving, Xia Yu cooked a hearty meal at home and brought out a bottle of red wine, saying that she wanted to practice it for Zhang Hui.

Zhang Hui felt that he had never been valued so much before, and was very moved. Then, the two of them held wine glasses and started talking from Qingye.

The more he drank, the more Xia Yu started to cry when his drunken eyes were blurred: "I don't want you to leave, I'm so lonely after you leave, and I want to celebrate the New Year alone, Ye Zi could come to accompany me before , now because of you, her parents blame me too, and they won't let her come to my place anymore."

Zhang Hui was also a little stupefied. Thinking of Xia Yu being such a good person, it was really sad to be alone, so he couldn't bear to wipe her tears.

Xia Yu caught her parents like a drowning person, leaning half in Zhang Hui's arms, her words were very desolate: "Don't look at me always laughing, in fact, I am very bitter in my heart, let me tell you, I am not actually divorced, It was my husband who had a mistress outside, and he wanted to divorce me, but for my son and to keep his property, I killed Buli, so he simply didn't go home and lived with that woman in Shanghai... "

At this point, Zhang Hui's emotions seemed to start to break down, and he waved his hands irritably and shouted: "Don't make me say anything, I've said everything I want to say, just shoot me, I'll wait to be shot..."

Several people in the interrogation room were stunned. Zhang Hui's emotions were suddenly so agitated. What happened that night?
