Chapter 11 Han Shu, this is my business (1)
11 years, he is cowardly, he would rather choose to forget than take the initiative to come to her and ask for forgiveness, but as long as she is willing to speak, he is willing to accept any conditions, pay any price, and give any compensation - any form It will be all right.

In the evening, when the lights came on, there was a smell of dampness after the sprinkler truck passed by in the air, and there was no wind, which was not far from Han Shu’s ideal state. In the chic tea restaurant, the taste of lemon tea was as good as ever , the girl in the restaurant has a sweet smile, but today's Han Shu is puzzled.His body was hot and cold, and his legs were under the somewhat narrow table, shaking uncontrollably.

Han Shu tried his best not to think about the scene that was like an atomic bomb explosion to him just now, there were no children, nothing terrible.He kept poking the lemon slices in the cup with the straw in his hand, and there were several seeds in the bright yellow fresh flesh. The scary thing was that just such a word "zi" reminded him of the word "child" again. Phrase, imagination is a scary thing.Child, child, child... It seemed that someone kept chanting this magic spell in his ear.That girl——Han Shu hoped that she was just a neighbor's little sister, maybe the youngest daughter of the owner of the small shop, but he clearly saw her enter the broken iron gate in the yard with Xie Junian, a whole Hours didn't show up again.

While waiting, Han Shu used his position shamefully to call the neighborhood committee of Xie Junian's community to inquire about her situation on the grounds of assisting in the investigation. The cooperation of the aunt on duty in the neighborhood committee was beyond his imagination. He didn't even ask Han Shu which procuratorate he belonged to, why the case came, and just told everything she knew about Xie Junian, and added a lot of content beyond the needs of handling the case. .

It is precisely because of this aunt's enthusiasm that Han Shu now knows at least the following: Xie Ju Nian is currently single in the marital status column. He came back here to rent an apartment almost eight years ago, and changed jobs several times. The longest one is I have been working in this fabric shop for almost four years, and it is not easy for me to become the store manager from a young clerk.Her daily work and rest time is almost the same as what Han Shu found. She doesn't have any particularly close friends, no relatives, and no particularly close men appear near her residence.She lives with a girl who is ten years old and is in fourth grade at a nearby elementary school. The child takes her surname Xie and calls her aunt, but her household registration is not with her.

According to Ju Nian herself, this is the child of a cousin of hers, who has no fixed residence all year round, so she is temporarily taking care of the child.This "temporary" time has not been short so far, and the old residents nearby know that this little doll who was just learning to walk appeared next to her not long after she moved here, and the cousin she was talking about was basically no one to see. Pass.The aunt of the neighborhood committee told Han Shu on the other end of the phone mysteriously: "If she was not young, many people would think that the girl was born by herself. There are no parents who never care about their children and rarely even visit them. That Who knows if my cousin exists."

After finding Han Shu's silence for a long time, the old aunt who is enthusiastic about public welfare asked with concern: "Comrade prosecutor, did Ju Nian commit another crime? We know that she has a criminal record, and we have always paid more attention to her. But She has lived nearby for so long, and she seems to have always kept herself safe. Although she doesn't like to socialize very much, she gets along very well with her neighbors. The landlord also said that she can't tell that she has been in prison. But ah By the way, I heard that recently there was a young man who was always driving around where she lived. It was very suspicious. We will pay attention to it. If assistance is needed, we will definitely report her actions in time. report."

The aunt of the neighborhood committee treated Xie Junian as a potential criminal, as if someone had slapped Han Shu hard on the face, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable, and almost forgot that he asked the neighborhood committee to assist in the investigation. In the name of shamelessly prying into her privacy.He highly praised the "legal concept" of the old aunt, hung up the phone, and became more and more confused. The more facts he knew and the closer he was to her, the more he felt that the answer was ready to come out.

Han Shu touched his arm with his cold fingers after holding the frozen teacup, feeling the skin there, as well as the flesh and blood under the skin, the hot liquid flowing from the flesh and blood.That girl should be so warm, just like his flesh and blood copy, this thought is enough to make Han Shu's brain freeze, he can't even cry, laughing feels far-fetched, and there is nowhere to express his fear.He is 29 years old this year, and there are still a few months before his thirties. He loves to be crazy, loves to play, loves to be lively, loves to be free, and loves to enjoy himself. Indifferent, maybe subconsciously, he still regards himself as a big boy.However, a ten-year-old girl was born out of the sky on a hot wheel like Nezha, how could he not be shocked to leave his position.

Is Xie Ju Nian the child's mother? If so, who is the child's father and how likely is it?Even a chance of one in ten thousand is enough to make Han Shu restless, what's more, the chance is definitely more than one in ten thousand, he knows it in his heart.

"What are you looking at, there is a monster in the cup?" Zhu Xiaobei's voice with a smile startled Han Shu.She opened the stool and sat down, maybe it was because she was in a hurry when she went out, and her hair was a little messy, but Han Shu was not in the mood to laugh at her, just like a terminally ill person who is not in the mood to laugh at a patient with facial paralysis.

"I thought you would say something like 'I prefer to say hello when you say hello'." After Zhu Xiaobei finished speaking, he found that Han Shu was still silent. He really looked a little strange today. "Han Shu, what hit you, tell me?" A good girlfriend should be so understanding.

Han Shu lowered his head, looking troubled, but when he finally looked at Zhu Xiaobei and clasped his hands tightly, Zhu Xiaobei realized that something might have happened.

"Xiao Bei, I think something is wrong with me."

"Haha, Han Shu, you don't mean to tell me that your ex-girlfriend is pregnant, and the child has already been a month old." Zhu Xiaobei tried to defuse the tense atmosphere.She and Han Shu were always relaxed and happy, and she was not used to this scene, but after saying this joke, Han Shu's face turned pale immediately.

"Uh, it looks like you don't agree with my sense of humor today." Zhu Xiaobei laughed dryly, "I take back what I said just now, go ahead, Han Shu, I'm mentally prepared."

Han Shu took a deep breath, hooked his fingers, hinted to Zhu Xiaobei to come closer, and Zhu Xiaobei listened cooperatively.Han Shu lowered his voice and said with difficulty: "Xiaobei, I think I really have a child, no...but it's not a month, it's ten years old..."

After Zhu Xiaobei listened, she stayed for three seconds, glanced at Han Shu, and slowly leaned on the back of the chair: "The child... is ten years old?" She half-closed one eye, half-turned her head, and kept her lips closed. With a slightly opened arc, he looked at the person opposite him again with suspicious and terrifying eyes.But her panic was not caused by the fact of "child", but because of Han Shu, her boyfriend said an unbelievable thing.

"I'm sorry, I know it's hard to believe, trust me, I'm stunned too, but I'm not kidding. Bei, I'm serious, I might have a kid around ten years old, girl!"

Zhu Xiaobei's reaction was expected by Han Shu, he thought, since the matter has come to this point, it will be more dirty to cover up, if it is the cause he planted, he will definitely taste the fruit.

Zhu Xiaobei finally came to his senses: "Han Shu, you are so awesome, ten-year-old child, how old were you when you were a child? Eighteen? Nineteen? Damn, did I ever say that I admire you? Is the elite so different? You just found out about the existence of children today?"

Han Shu spread his hands in frustration: "I think so." He felt that he was about to be shocked to death by this crazy incident, and if no one talked to him, he would be schizophrenic, "That kid looks very beautiful in primary school , yes, just like you said, I was only a little older, so I was also petrified."

"Is the child's mother your former little girlfriend? It took more than ten years to bring the child to the door to recognize the ancestors? Damn, why is this plot so familiar? She asked you to take responsibility? Did you go for a DNA test? Like TV Played in the movie, the child looks like a copy of you? The child rushed to call you dad?"

Under Zhu Xiaobei's barrage of questions, every answer Han Shu gave was negative.

"Neither? Then how do you know it's your child, so you're not afraid of being framed? In my old mother's words, this society is far more complicated than you imagined. Also, as a legal worker, you are not vigilant at all." No?"

"No, oh, how should I put it, she didn't come to me at all, I went to see her secretly. I'm sorry Xiaobei, I didn't tell you this, I have no other intentions, just want to see if she is doing well , As a result, I saw the child next to her. I didn't even go up to ask." Han Shu himself felt a little ridiculous, and didn't know what to say.

"Stop! Han Shu, you don't mean to say that you saw a girl walking beside the woman you 'sneaked at', and that girl didn't look exactly like you, so you thought it was your kind ?” After Han Shu nodded, Zhu Xiaobei slapped the table with one hand, “Damn it, I asked you so many professional questions just now, dare you guess all of these wishful thinking? Han Shu, I usually look at you You're so smart, if you lose the chain at a critical moment, you're not sick, you know your relatives indiscriminately on the street!"
