Chapter 21 Four Unexpected Clues (7)
"What about me? What about Xiaoye? What about Du Qiangwei?" Zheng Yuan sighed: "Should we also pay for your stories?"

Perhaps it was the heaviness in that sigh that infected Wu Hui, and his expression disappeared again. "...I'm sorry." There was phlegm in his throat, which was the prelude to choking, "I heard that the death penalty is imminent."

Zheng Yuan was taken aback, he never thought it would be so soon. "It's useless to be sorry. Even if you plan to die, if you plan to die for another life, it's useless." His voice became bitter: "She won't come back, and I, I even the murderer is neither knows."

Wu Hui lowered his head and lowered his voice: "...I don't know, if this can make you feel better."

Zheng Yuan looked at the corners of his downturned lips, and confirmed that he was not lying: "But you have Du Qiangwei's backpack, and you told me not to check any further, you still know something, Yuan Jiashu is dead, why can't you say it? "

"Because it's dangerous... Besides, I owe it to him." Wu Hui raised his head, his eyes were a little wet: "Reporter Zheng, you know what it means to accomplish nothing, what I do, what I do is called doing nothing." For the rest of my life, I have no ability, no use, and I... I even harmed him." Wu Hui raised his hand and rubbed his face to cover up a tear: "I caused him to become what he is today. I I can't give him anything, I can't help him with anything... Now, I can pay back a little bit, I originally wanted him to live a good life, if I can't even do this, at least let him die in a good manner."

Zheng Yuan was stunned, going around for so long, this is the real reason why Wu Hui rejected him countless times.He has no way to call him ridiculous, who hasn't the right to be ridiculous once?But he can't condone this absurdity, he's not that stupid yet.

"But you know I won't stop." Zheng Yuan squeezed the black Marlboro box with a sullen face: "As long as I live, I will chase the answer, and one day the truth will be found, and I will also write: Yuan Jiashu is A drug addict, a murderer, maybe I will dig out other more embarrassing facts at that time, and I will write them down in black and white, and by then, will your concealment still make sense?"

Wu Hui showed his eyes from between his fingers: "You wouldn't do that."

"I can!"

"You won't, you might die before that day." Zheng Yuan didn't know if it was his own illusion, but Wu Hui's voice was filled with pity, "Don't mess with them, you have tasted that... "

That taste, what taste?The taste of two broken ribs, the feeling of the back of the head being smashed, the taste of a loved one being dismembered?what did he say?them?More than one person?

"You mean there is a gang?!" Zheng Yuan's mind quickly flashed through the relationship between the characters, and an insignificant clue suddenly lit up: "...it's Xu Ziqian, right? Xu Ziqian, Xu Xuesong, the only daughter, the file was destroyed ...That's right...all connected! Is it the Cedar Group and Xu Xuesong who instigated it behind? What else did they do? Did they kill Xiaoye too? Where is Du Qiangwei? Isn't it? Talk to me!"

The bell rang, the lock turned, and the visiting hour was over.

Wu Hui didn't say a word, his lips were tight.

"Say something more." Zheng Yuan closed his eyes and crossed his fingers. He didn't really believe in the existence of gods in the world, but if there were, he hoped that he could appear at this moment. "One more sentence, even one sentence is fine..."

Unfamiliar and rough palm prints covered the back of his hand, Zheng Yuan raised his eyelids, and it was Wu Hui who held his hand.

"Xu Ziqian, she is also our old acquaintance, me, and Yuan Jiashu." He leaned forward and paused every word, "So I said, don't chase after her any longer. Meeting her was the biggest mistake in my life."

Relief
In less than a week, Xu Ting's gossip has spread all over the school.

Gossip is the best glue for friendship. The girls went to the bathroom together for 10 minutes between classes, and they have already added oil and vinegar to exchange and analyze the cause and effect of the whole dialogue about the parties involved.The natural curiosity caused by sex and death made this story more and more outrageous and deformed. Later, even abortion, disease and forced marriage were signed, all of which were witnessed by "a friend of mine".Zheng Que was full of anxiety, no one came to ask him, he was not anyone's friend, but he knew more than anyone.

If he didn't say it, how did everyone know?

It was in this chaos that Xu Ting resumed class.Holding the stall she had come out of the cafeteria earlier, Zheng Que caught a glimpse of her stepping into the school gate with her schoolbag on her back.

I haven't seen her for a few days, she has lost weight, her small, round cheeks are much clearer, and there are suspicious red spots around her eyes.She no longer puts colorful little skirts under her school uniform, and her wide blue and white sweatpants cover all her curves.Seeing Zheng Que, she shook her head, quickened her pace and walked away, Zheng Que couldn't seize the opportunity to explain.

But the longer it drags on, the harder it is to speak.Later, the situation had developed to the point that whenever Xu Ting passed the corridor, the girls would spontaneously move to the sides, and if anyone was accidentally touched, they would make exaggerated tsk-tsk noises and mutter "so dirty" while brushing the corner of their clothes.At this time, as long as a naughty boy starts to boo, "The cunning girl! How disgusting! The name of the cunning girl is Xu Ting!" The chorus-like clapping and chorus will follow all the way, getting louder and louder.Zheng did see a limping Dadong among the leaders, and couldn't help but clenched on the railing, but before he rushed over, a female teacher poked her head out from the office at the end: "Blind!" What's the noise! ​​What about the quality!" The crowd dispersed like sparrows scrambling for food, and when they heard the commotion, they dispersed, and when they tried to find Xu Ting, her back disappeared at the corner of the stairs.

Zheng Que was anxious, and decided that after school today, he should make it clear to Xu Ting no matter what.He skipped class early and hid in the stationery store in front of the school, facing Xu Ting's classroom obliquely, if Zheng Zhen had better eyesight, he could even see her side face leaning against the window.As the evening approached, the air was extremely hot, there were no customers, and the boss didn't plan to turn on the fan. Zheng Zhen didn't care. He was sweating, counting the seconds, waiting for her.

The first wave of the army after school poured out.Zheng Que's gaze shuttled among the chaotic crowd, like a mackerel swimming against the current.

It's not her, it's not her, ah... this... it's not her.

The second wave, the third wave, until the end, even the students who were detained in the third year of high school left sparsely, and Xu Ting did not come out.Zheng Que stared at the extinguished fluorescent lights in the classroom, and his heart darkened.He hurriedly turned back the same way, and as expected, Xu Ting was blocked on the path between the teaching building and the bicycle shed.

The person who blocked her made Zheng Que stunned for a moment—it was the third child's girlfriend, the little sister.

She is quite tall, with a high ponytail combed, all the arrogant red highlights are exposed, and it looks like a fire is lit from behind.She pulled Xu Ting hard, cursing indistinctly.Zheng could not see Xu Ting's expression clearly, but he seemed to be struggling to hide. He hurried to speed up his pace, but before he could get close enough, a crisp "pop" sound penetrated the air. It was the girl who slapped Xu Ting. slap.

"What are you doing!" Zheng Que became anxious, and rushed over to push him away. Xu Ting staggered and bumped into his shoulder, half of her face was already red under her messy hair.

"What am I doing? Ask this slut what he has done!" The little girl's voice was sharp and high-pitched, "I warn you bitch, don't try to bully me, and don't pester my boyfriend, his brother is stupid, he You're not stupid, if you dare to think about it again, your leg will be broken next time!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Zheng Que became angry, "Don't shout and kill here, Xu Ting is pitiful enough, what else do you want from her?"

"How? Hmph, I wish she would die now!" The little girl gritted her teeth and stared at Zheng Que, and after a while she sneered, "Oh, I see, it's interesting to her, boy, I advise you to have some snacks, this is not something you can afford."

Before her words fell, Xu Ting broke in with a trembling cry: "I will give you what you want, come and get it tomorrow... Please... don't do this... I can't take it anymore..."

"You know you can't take it? Hahahaha, you're laughing so hard." The little girl reached out to pat Xu Ting's head, but Zheng Zhen waved it away. Just as she was about to explode, a security guard's voice came from behind: "Over there That! Who are you! Why don’t you wear a school uniform! Are you a classmate from this school!”

The little girl turned around and ran away, turned her head at the end, and gave Xu Ting a vicious smile: "Don't forget what you promised me."

Xu Ting nodded, Zheng Ke felt her body tremble suddenly.The security guard ran after Tai Mei and passed by, shouting and cursing louder and louder, Zheng Zhen had no time to take care of it, he supported her shoulders, gently helped her brush off her hair, wiped his tears from his fingertips, Zheng Zhen felt worse than himself It still hurts. "What did you promise her?" Zheng Que asked anxiously, "Don't be blackmailed by her, if not, call the police."

Xu Ting covered her face and shook her head, her voice was as soft as a feather: "It's useless...she just wants money, so I'll just give it to her."

"How can this be done! This... this is too much, you can't be bullied like this casually!" Zheng Queyi was filled with indignation, and after he finished speaking, he found Xu Ting looked up at him, and it was clearly written in his eyes: Let them bully me casually , is you.

Zheng can't argue with a hundred words.Of course he can repeat "I didn't say it" a hundred times, a thousand times, but what's the use?Who else would know this but him?
Xu Ting slowly left his arms and left him.

"If you feel sorry for me, do me a favor," she said.

"What... what are you busy with?"

"Help me put something away and put it where no one can find it." Seeing that Zheng Que didn't speak, Xu Ting smiled wryly, "It's fine if you don't want to help."

"No, no." Zheng Chue said eagerly, "I'll help! As long as it's your business, I will definitely help!"

Xu Ting nodded when she heard the words, pulled out a black plastic bag with a dead button from her schoolbag, and gently put it in Zheng Que's hand.Then she turned around and left, and Zheng Que was the only one left.

"If it's a birthday, would the wish be more effective?" Zheng Ke stood under the statue of the Virgin Mary, staring up at the face of the stone sculpture.

After helping Xu Ting that favor, she didn't come to class again, and the third child hasn't appeared since that day.Zheng Que dragged his schoolbag, wandered aimlessly, and unknowingly came to this place again—the compassionate woman with her arms open, as if she had been waiting for him.His heart moved and he closed his eyes.
