Chapter 37

"Why did Shang Lili choose to help you take the blame?"

The answer Zhuge Yang wanted to hear was not that Shang Lili chose to be charged with murder because she knew she was suffering from cancer.What he wanted to know was what past interactions Yao Xin and Shang Lili had.

Fellow countryman?This reason alone is obviously not convincing.

Yao Xin's fingertips pressed on the back of the finger that had been broken by herself, and she frowned slightly. "I helped her."

"What did you help?" Zhuge Yang asked tightly.

"I can't say what specific things I helped her with. You can ask Lili. If she wants to say something, she should tell you. I still hope to see her."

The interrogation room was silent.

After a while, Zhuge Yang closed his notebook and turned to look at Xiao Liang. "I've asked you all, do you have anything else you want to ask?"

Xiao Liang didn't pay attention to Zhuge Yang's face. He looked at Yao Xin with a smile and asked, "I would like to know how you chose those two children's songs to correspond to the situation at the murder scene."

Yao Xin lowered his head to look at his right arm wrapped in gauze, and his frown deepened. "The first Five Fingers Song came to me on the spot after listening to a child memorize it. As for the Little Snail song played by Fu Mingyang, I think the phrase 'hide in my room' in it is very touching. It's like, I The strong can protect the weak under their wings. Tsk. I think it is commemorative." At the end of the sentence, she laughed at herself.

Xiao Liang pouted at this but said nothing.

The door of the interrogation room was knocked twice, Zhuge Yang shouted to come in, and Yin Zihe walked in holding a laptop.

While interrogating Yao Xin, Shang Lili was also interrogated.

What Yin Zihe sent over was Shang Lili's latest transcript.

Yao Xin sat in the chair, sweating on his forehead.She stared at the gauze on her arm and slowly bit her lip.

Zhuge Yang quickly read through Shang Lili's transcript, and it generally matched what Yao Xin confessed.Moreover, after Shang Lili learned that Yao Xin was arrested, she also explained how deep the relationship between her and Yao Xin was.

Speaking of the intersection between Shang Lili and Yao Xin, it happened in junior high school.

They both went to middle school in the same village and didn't know each other at first.In the summer, on the way home from school, Shang Lili met a bad person.It was a grown man who dragged her into the cornfield.

Shang Lili struggled and shouted, but Yao Xin heard her passing by.Yao Xin held a stone and smashed the man's head, and the two girls ran away hand in hand.

At that time, Shang Lili was in the third grade of junior high school and Yao Xin was in the second grade of junior high school.Shang Lili called this experience a fateful friendship.Therefore, Shang Lili always felt that she owed her life to Yao Xin.

But after Shang Lili was admitted to high school, the two never saw each other again.

The two met again in Beidaihe, after Yao Xin rented a supermarket.I didn't recognize her at first, but I realized they were old acquaintances when we struck up a conversation when Shang Lili was shopping at a supermarket.

Shang Lili said that if it weren't for Yao Xin's rescue, she would have died long ago.Her parents divorced when she was in high school and started their own families.She studied beauty and hairdressing before finishing high school. After dating a partner, she came to QHD to work. After several breakups, she completely gave up hope on marriage.

She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a year ago. She was not married and had no children. She felt that if she could help Yao Xin, it would be a well-deserved death.

Shang Lili hated Yao Xin's domestic violence by her husband and believed that Cao Gang deserved to die and Yao Xin did nothing wrong.

When Yin Zihe told Shang Lili that Yao Xin had done something to her daughter, Shang Lili felt that Yao Xin had done something wrong.He yelled that he wanted to see Yao Xin and wanted to wake her up.

Yin Zihe leaned over Zhuge Yang's ear and whispered: "Shang Lili fainted again due to excitement and has been sent to the hospital for rescue."

Zhuge Yang glared at Yin Zihe.

Yao Xin should not have told Shang Lili about giving medicine to Cao Ying.

Yin Zihe left the interrogation room with the computer in his arms and closed the door.Inside the house, it was still quiet.

Yao Xin just vaguely heard Shang Lili's name, but didn't dare to ask.

Zhuge Yang lowered his head and fiddled with his phone, typing and sending messages quickly with his thumbs.He sighed before speaking leisurely: "Yao Xin, Cao Ying came back from rescue and has woken up."

Yao Xin gritted his teeth and endured the bursts of pain in his arm. When he suddenly heard these words, his whole body trembled.She asked uncertainly: "Yingying is okay. Is Yingying awake?"

Zhuge Yang picked up the pink hair rope again. "Do you know what Cao Ying said when she woke up?"

"The first thing she said when she woke up was mom."

Yao Xin laughed and cried at the same time. She put her head on the table and her suppressed cries filled the interrogation room.

After her voice gradually disappeared, Zhuge Yang spoke again.

"I know that all your experiences from childhood to adulthood are indeed unfortunate. But you should not use your misfortune as a reason for committing a crime, let alone choose her life for Cao Ying. Have you ever asked Cao Ying if she has What is her wish? Does she want to see what the future world will be like? Cao Ying has not grown up yet and has not taken a good look at the various beauties of this world. You have to take it upon yourself to obliterate her and end her short life for her. Yao Xin, you have been blaming your parents for controlling your life, what about you?"

"Of course she knows that you gave her the medicine, and that you want to wipe out her life. But even so, the first thing she thought about, looked for, and relied on when she opened her eyes was you, her mother. "

Yao Xin sat there dejectedly, like a soulless puppet.

She stopped crying, and the tears on her cheeks slowly dried.

Xiao Liang patted Zhuge Yang on the shoulder and walked out.

Zhuge Yang and Yao Xin were the only two people left in the interrogation room.

Zhuge Yang stood up from his seat and walked to stand in front of Yao Xin.He lowered his head to look at her, and finally sighed deeply.Following Xiao Liang's example just now, he also raised his hand and patted Yao Xin on the shoulder.

"Besides killing Cao Gang, you have other ways to go."

"When he domestically abused you for the first time, if you had called the police for help, instead of enduring it over and over until your emotions finally exploded, leading to irreversible consequences. Although I don't want to say this, you are after all. One wrong step, every wrong step.”

Yao Xin's dried tears fell from his eyes again.One drop after another, they hit the small table and splashed into the air.

She looked up at this old classmate she hadn't seen in ten years and choked with sobs. "If I had met you earlier, if I had heard you advise me not to tolerate domestic violence earlier, if I had known earlier that there are only zero and countless times of domestic violence, maybe I would not have come to this point."

"Actually, I had a dream after I met you and saw you and that beautiful female police officer together. It was the most beautiful dream among many nightmares."

The tears on Yao Xin's chin clattered on the back of her hand, and she smiled.

She said that she dreamed that she successfully entered BJ Public Security University ten years ago and was on the same campus as Zhuge Yang.

They attended classes together, participated in training together, and sat in the cafeteria to eat together.Zhuge Yang would give her the chicken legs and braised pork on the dinner plate, and would also put a bottle of peach-flavored Nutrition Express on her table.

They graduated successfully, put on police uniforms at the Beidaihe Public Security Bureau, and fought side by side.

They go on a mission together to catch thieves and murderers.

She took the initiative to propose to Zhuge Yang. She said: Zhuge Yang, I like you. I have liked you for a long, long time.I want to marry you, can you marry me?

Zhuge Yang stretched out his hand to pinch her face and called her a fool.

"I really want to live in that dream forever and never wake up." These words were so soft that they seemed inaudible in the empty interrogation room.
