At 8:30 the next morning, Jiang Jianzhou received a call, and the teacher in charge of Zhuosi Education informed him that Mr. Zheng's house has some business temporarily, and he may be half an hour late.
Usually, Jiang Jianzhou would go out after Teacher Zheng came, but this time the teacher was late. He had met him a few times before, so he didn't care. He asked Chenxing to wait and pay attention to the door, and he went to buy food first.
The boy agreed to come down, after the old man left, he waited in the living room alone, at 9:15, the doorbell rang, morning star through the video phone, saw the girl standing outside, wearing a peaked cap, face buried in the shadow, look unclear.
"Hey, who are you?"
"it's me."
Morningstar heard the familiar voice, relieved and opened the door.
The girl entered the room and walked straight towards the second bedroom. Chen Xing followed behind her, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. The girl's back looked a little unfamiliar.
He followed into the room, and saw the girl took off her cap, revealing a "new" face.
Chen Xing froze in place, not knowing how to react, his fingers curled up unconsciously.
Chu Yu looked at him, touched the recorder in his pocket, and smiled slightly: "Why, do you think I'm Xiaohan?"
"Sorry, I thought you were the teacher of Zhuosi Education."
Chu Yu didn't refute or struggle with this question. She looked around and looked at his room. She wanted to check it the last time she came. Now, it looks pretty neat. There aren't many things in the room, mainly toys. , has toy cars, cards, yo-yos, looks new, but doesn't look like something he can play with. It seems that Grandpa Jiang bought it blindly.
"I need you to come with me."
Chen Xing took out his mobile phone: "You leave immediately, or I will call the police."
Chu Yu smiled, his expression, body movements, and tone of voice were all relaxed, like chatting between acquaintances: "You won't call the police."
The boy was a little flustered, but he tried his best to keep his composure, staring at Chu Yu motionless, holding the phone in his hand, as if he wanted to call Jiang Jianzhou.
"I should talk with you for a long time, so we should find another place, otherwise, when Grandpa Jiang comes back, the conversation will not be easy to continue."
The boy seemed to remember something, and his eyes moved: "You are a policeman!"
Chu Yu was noncommittal: "To be precise, I am someone who wants to help Xiaohan."
"I'm sorry, you've been talking nonsense since you came in. Should I call 120?"
Chu Yu didn't look impatient, she took out her mobile phone, Xia Yihan's copycat phone, flipped out the text message, and shook it in front of the boy: "You sent it."
The boy looked at the text message, didn't respond, didn't speak, like an emotionless robot.
"I know it's inconvenient for you to speak because you have concerns, but you can rest assured that since I dare to investigate this matter, I have the ability to protect the person concerned, and will not let the person who provided me with the information be hurt because of it."
In fact, from getting along with Xia Yihan and collecting information piecemeal, Chu Yu realized that things are not simple. For example, Xia Yihan said that she washed her hair with dish soap; , whether it's distance fighting or long-distance tracking, it's all good at it - obviously professionally trained, and the training is tough and rigorous, otherwise she won't be able to reach the level of killing professionals in seconds.
As for the degree of hardship, Chu Yu pondered and feared that the dishes she cooked were so virtuous that Xia Yihan ate them with relish. Did she experience a "famine period" and refuse food
This time, she will focus on Chenxing instead of Jiang Jianzhou, because according to the information currently available, it is Chenxing, not Jiang Jianzhou, who sends the text message. Although the latter is Xia Yihan's biological grandfather, he never appeared in Xia Yihan's early life.
Although Xia Yihan used his bank card and Alipay account, Chu Yu was still not sure about the intimacy and depth of understanding between the two, that is, he was not sure that Jiang Jianzhou knew about it.
So the only thing she is sure about now is that the text message Chenxing sent to Xiaohan, the sentence "Xiaohan I am here", contains too many things. From this inference, he should also know Xiaohan's past, and the tenacity shown by Xia Yihan can also be seen in him.
But at this moment, Chen Xing, an insider, obviously did not want to cooperate.
"It's really inconvenient for me to speak, because a stranger broke into my house and said something inexplicable. What should I say? I can only ask you to leave."
Chu Yu has always been unhurried and tepid. It was obviously a tit-for-tat confrontation, but she was adjusted into daily communication by her.
"Let me explain, I'm here for Xiaohan, I came to investigate Jiang Jianzhou a few days ago, and it's also for Xiaohan, Xiaohan is Huai Phantom, you should know this, and you know, she is arrested and she will face trial I came to you, not to produce relevant criminal evidence, but to help Xiaohan. She is in very bad condition and refuses to communicate with the outside world. You may think this is a good thing, but if she doesn't speak, then The sentence will be aggravated, because she refuses to plead guilty and has a bad attitude, and she will even be more miserable in prison in the future. Do you think this is a good thing for Xiaohan and you?"
10 minutes later, Chu Yu and Chen Xing were sitting in the city garden. The location was relatively remote. Song Qingyang and Fang Datuo inspected in advance and confirmed that there were no monitoring and surveillance equipment around. But now, Song Qingyang is watching Jiang Jianzhou to ensure that his every move is under control and will not find any abnormality.
The blue sky is like a wash, the early winter is cold, and the leaves in the park are swept aside and piled up into leaf mounds.
Chu Yu and Chen Xing looked at the front, the carp in the pool was carefree, they sensed someone and swam towards them, as if they wanted to beg for bread, but this time Chen Xing didn't bring anything. on the thigh.
There is a branch on Chu Yu's head, which is still very lush in winter, casting a shadow on her face.
"Can we start now?"
Chen Xing sighed silently, he lowered his eyes, looking indifferent: "You said that you came to see me, just for Xiaohan, to reduce her sentence, let her talk, and make her better, but I feel that you are just for the sake of Xiaohan. Your career, for your merits, if the entire public security bureau can't do anything about her, you can get her confession and find out her past, so that you can be rewarded by your superiors, and it is considered a merit, isn't it? ?"
The corners of Chu Yu's lips rose slightly, looking like he was smiling, but with a bit of self-deprecation. She didn't explain, but instead asked, "Does it mean that in your heart, the police only have business affairs, and have no human feelings at all?"
Morningstar did not answer, it was taken as a default.
Chu Yu turned to look at him, "Let me guess, what are you thinking about now? You must be thinking: What does this person know? What is her purpose? What is she trying to get out of me? Then I'll answer your question. I know a lot of things. I know Xiaohan's past and her character. I also know why she committed crimes and why she became the Phantom of Sophora japonica. I know you know her and care about her. , you want her to live better. I know she has no relatives in this world, but fortunately, she still has a friend of you. "
Chen Xing's lips moved slightly, her eyelashes lifted, and her eyes wandered.
"Since you know so much, why are you asking me?"
"I want to know what happened to her during the years you were with her."
Chen Xing didn't answer for a while, Chu Yu felt that he still had concerns, and was always on the edge of whether to say it or not. When he promised to come out with her, he originally planned to say it, but now he regrets it.
"I'm sorry, you said you wanted to help Xiaohan, you wanted to make her better, but I believe Xiaohan doesn't want others to know her past, she won't get better because of it, now she doesn't want to talk, that's her Your choice, you have no right to disturb her. You and her are not related or related, you are not her relative or friend, to put it bluntly, you and her are hostile, it is you who arrested her and locked her up Get up, then what right do you have to know about her past?"
Chu Yu's eyes were light, and his voice was low and steady, like a soothing piano sound: "I am her future girlfriend."
Chen Xing's obvious tiger body was shocked. Although he always tried to cover up his emotions, he was still relatively young. The more he hid, the more he wanted to hide it.
"So don't take me as a policeman, take me as a friend, I'm Xiaohan's girlfriend, I will do my best to be good for her, I will protect her, you are her friend, I will also protect you, to prevent you from being hurt ."
"Evidence," the boy was still stubborn, but his eyes showed some trust, "do you have any evidence to prove your relationship with him?"
Chu Yu took out his mobile phone and flipped out the treasured photo.
"You should be familiar with the photos on the police's wanted list. You should have seen them all over the country. In your impression, has Xiaohan ever laughed like this?"
Chen Xing looked at the picture with a smile like a flower, and was fascinated.
"But that day, she saw me and she smiled. Later, I went to ask her relatives, and they didn't recognize her, which means that not only has she changed, but she has never laughed, or rather, never laughed. So carefree."
Chen Xing looked away from the photo, his face became heavy, from perfunctory at the beginning, he became serious, and he looked more anxious than when Chu Yu entered the room before.
"If you know Xiaohan's past, are you sure you can make her better?"
"I'm sure," Chu Yu paused for a moment, afraid that he would be worried, and then added, "If it involves sensitive parts, or the parts that she doesn't want others to know, I will keep it secret, and I want to know everything only, yes In order to be targeted, psychological counseling and the right medicine for her, the more I know, the more I understand how to protect her and how to bring her back."
Chen Xing nodded, looked up at Chu Yu's profile, her temperament was gentle and resolute, and her profile was even more peaceful, making people want to trust and rely on her.
"What do you want to know?"
"Xiaohan has been missing for four years, where has she been for these four years?"
"She's in Liangdu."
Chu Yu's heart trembled. Sure enough, she did not look back at the river, nor stayed in Chenyang, but went to her mother, the hometown of her grandmother.
"Xiaohan was only 13 or 14 years old when she disappeared. How did she solve the problem of food and accommodation?"
"She doesn't need to worry about it because someone has arranged it."
"Oh? She lives in someone else's house?"
"She lives with me in an orphanage. The orphanage is so big that I still don't know how many branches it has. If you go in and visit it, you will see an orderly 'big family, someone Distributed food for us, washed our sheets, and taught us talents. The room was neat and tidy. Every day someone cleaned the house, took care of our food and daily life, and taught us to read and write. We all live together, but Xiaohan has some When you don't live with us, in another place."
Chu Yu's eyes turned to Chen Xing's leg involuntarily - was he abandoned by his parents because of a natural disability, and was adopted by an orphanage
"Are there mainly children who can't find their parents?"
"There are orphans, and there are children who are separated from their parents, but they are not local. They are all healthy, but after entering the orphanage, they are not so whole.
Chu Yu's back felt cold, she felt it, what would he say later.
"To be admitted to an orphanage, to be adopted and to be educated, there is one condition, it must be disabled, because we need to use our body to make money, people will see our body, the more disabled, the more pitiful we are, the more we can't live , the more they will give alms, the more they will give us money, and this money, we will give it to the orphanage, they need our body to make money."
Chu Yu fell silent, exhaling a little hot.
"What about Xiaohan?"
Why didn't she see Xia Yihan's disability
"Xiaohan..." The boy looked at the carp in the lake with a pain in his eyes, "They don't use her body, they use her life."
