chasing the dark

Chapter 126
Anyone with a little medical knowledge knows that once cancer metastasizes, it means that the situation is more serious.Especially in the absence of viable treatment options, the patient's chances of survival are greatly reduced.

Li Jun wiped his face, and continued: "My mother passed away in less than two years. At the end, she was in great pain, with a big lump on her shoulder, and she couldn't sleep for the whole night due to the pain. "

"She doesn't want us to know, but when it hurts, sweat is all over her head and face, and the quilt can be soaked in winter. How could we not know?"

In fact, what he said had nothing to do with the case, but neither Ye Zhanzhou nor Jiang Yu interrupted.At times like this, listening is the best comfort.

"She didn't want to drag us down anymore, so she took the few painkillers she had secretly saved. She just left, leaving us siblings behind. At that time, I was nineteen and Shen Xing was seventeen. We became fatherless and motherless." orphans."

Li Jun buried his face in his hands, this time he didn't make a sound, but it was not difficult to see from the shrugged shoulders that he was crying.

At this time, no amount of comfort is futile, it is better to let him vent.

Neither Ye Zhanzhou nor Jiang Yu made a sound, just waiting for him to come out of his grief.

After about ten minutes, Li Jun finally raised his head, grabbed the cigarette case on the table, and lit a cigarette.Start to continue talking.

"With the funeral expenses from the acrobatic troupe, we settled my mother's funeral affairs. The two of us have almost nothing except this house. My mother has been ill for nearly two years, and the family's money has been used up. This house is her life and death. We stayed because we were willing to sell it. Even if we have no money, we can’t sell it.”

"Those years were very difficult. The money I earned from part-time jobs was barely enough to make ends meet, let alone continue to study. Shen Xing also wanted to go out to make money, but she was still so young and couldn't see, so no one would use her. I told She, as long as she stays at home well and doesn't let me worry about it, she doesn't care about anything else. "

"Later, life gradually got better, and Shen Xing grew up. She made some friends online, and they were all people who liked music. At first, I thought it was pretty good, at least she wouldn't be too boring."

"If you knew that things would develop like that later, you couldn't let her go online at the beginning."

"Why?" Ye Zhanzhou finally spoke.

Biting his lip, Li Juncai said: "They are the ones who urged Chen Xing to go out and sing."

If he didn't know these netizens, Li Chenxing would not know that there is a career as a resident singer.If it weren't for netizens, she would not have found such a job.If she hadn't become a resident singer in a bar, she wouldn't have known those beasts, let alone...

These, needless to him, the other two people present can also think of it.

"Who introduced the job to Li Chenxing?" Ye Zhanzhou asked.

"I don't know the real name of the person named Xiaobaihu on Yirenwang."

"Male and female?"

"Female, I met her during video chat with Shen Xing. She is quite young, a little younger than Shen Xing."

"what do you do?"

"Shen Xing said that she is a student of the Conservatory of Music."

The owner of Extreme Night Bar, Zhong Lingjun, said that the girl who introduced Li Chenxing to him was a girl who used to sell drinks in his shop, and the basic situation was similar to what Li Jun said.

"Besides this little white fox, does Li Chenxing have any close friends?"

Someone has already investigated this person, and what Ye Zhanzhou wants to know is someone they didn't know before.

Li Jun pursed his lips: "Shen Xing doesn't have many friends in real life. After all, she... doesn't go out very much. I don't ask much about friends on the Internet."

He looked a little annoyed, as if he was regretting his previous negligence.

"It's not your fault." Jiang Yu comforted, "Shen Xing has grown up, if you, a brother, interfere too much, it will make her feel uncomfortable."

Li Jun scratched his hair: "It's because I feel so relieved about her, that's why..."

"It's not your fault, don't blame yourself too much." Ye Zhanzhou patted him on the shoulder, "I have to trouble you to lend us Li Chenxing's mobile phone, computer, tablet and other electronic products."

"What are you doing?" Li Jun asked suspiciously.

Ye Zhanzhou took his hand back: "We need to know her social relationship. Since you can't provide accurate information, we can only check through these things."

Li Jun frowned, thinking for a moment, he said "wait a moment", got up and opened the door of the inner room that had been closed all along.

Ye Zhanzhou and Jiang Yu met each other's eyes, and they also followed.

"This is Shen Xing's room, right? Can I go in and have a look?" Jiang Yu asked.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Jun nodded.

This room is as simple as the outer room, with a bed, a table, a wardrobe, and a bookshelf.The style is very old, but it is spotless.

The only difference is that the bedding and curtains are relatively pastel colours.

There are not many books on the bookshelf, almost only two floors, most of which are books for the blind.The rest of the space is filled with sundries, plush dolls, hairpins and other things for girls.

There is a computer on the desk, an assembled desktop.The headset is placed next to it, as if waiting for the owner to use it at any time.

A guitar bag stands by the table, and there is a small pendant with a bell hanging on the bag.

Li Jun opened the drawer and took out a mobile phone from it.

After brushing off the dust that didn't exist on it, he handed the phone to Jiang Yu.

Seeing him being so careful, Jiang Yu said, "I'll write you a list of items, and I'll return them to you when they're used up."

After exiting the room and sitting down again, Ye Zhanzhou said, "Also..."

He paused for a moment before continuing: "Tell me about what happened to Li Chenxing."

Knowing that this question is undoubtedly exposing people's scars, but in order to investigate the case, I have to ask.

Sure enough, Li Jun fell into pain again, and even his breathing became heavier.

"The store was busy that day, so I sent a message to tell Shen Xing that I would not be coming back at night. The next morning, the neighbor called... saying that something happened at home and asked me to come back quickly. When I got home, Officer Chen told me , the ambulance has left."

Li Jun lowered his head, tears streaming down uncontrollably again.He whimpered and said, "Shen Xing is lying in the kitchen with her head next to the gas stove. Her heart is so cruel that she doesn't even think about her leaving. What should I do?"

Ye Zhanzhou handed him the towel that he had thrown at the end of the bed after wiping his face just now: "Before that, didn't you notice anything unusual about her?"

"It's just that I've had a cold for a while." Li Jun wiped his eyes vigorously with a towel, "We are all old buildings here, and the heating is not good in winter."

The few open buildings are not even counted as residential areas.The pipeline is aging, and it is far away from the heat exchange station, so the heating cannot be very good.

"I really thought she had a cold, so I bought medicine and told her to take it on time."
