There was obviously deep meaning in Officer Xu's words, but the woman didn't hear it. She just looked at Chen Xiao with an ugly expression: "What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing." Chen Xiao shook his head, concealed a smile, and then said seriously: "By the way, does An Qi know what happened today?"
"She... I have sent her to her grandmother's house now." The woman said sadly: "When he wakes up, I will get a divorce. Although I am very disappointed in him, he is the father of the child after all, so... I was in the police just now In front of me, thank you for helping me cover up."
Chen Xiao nodded silently. He couldn't help but be touched by this woman's kindness. In fact, she could sue her husband for this. After all, intentionally hitting someone with a car was enough to constitute a serious crime.
"I just want to get a divorce and leave him with the children." The woman's face suddenly became a little embarrassed: "However, Chen Xiao, maybe I can't continue to hire you as An Qi's tutor. After these things happened, The situation in our home will be very chaotic and inconvenient recently... Moreover, during the divorce, I will let An Qi live in her grandmother's house. After the divorce, we will also move out of the original house... So... "
"It's okay, I understand." Chen Xiao didn't take it to heart at all, and kindly comforted him: "After all, it's just an acquaintance. If you have any difficulties..."
After a pause, he smiled - Chen Xiao's smile was inherently friendly and warm: "Although I'm just a poor student, I can't help you much. But after all, you and An Qi are two women. If there is anything you need help with, I am a man after all, I can do some hard work, or run errands for you."
The woman smiled, her eyes touched: "No matter what, thank you."
Anyway, there were no injuries on his body. Chen Xiao was full of worries, so he immediately went through the formalities and left the hospital. As soon as he walked to the hospital lobby, the woman behind him had already caught up, stopped Chen Xiao, and stuffed a letter into his body. Chen Xiao's hand: "I'm sorry, I forgot about it just now, this is your salary."
Chen Xiao was a little surprised. She had only given her daughter one lesson, but the envelope in her hand was not thin...
"This..." Chen Xiao was about to refuse, but the woman immediately said: "Speaking of which, if it weren't for you today, I'm afraid I would..." Thinking of her husband crashing into her with a car, a trace of pain flashed in the woman's eyes, and then she forced a smile. : "Just the salary and some of my thoughts."
Chen Xiao frowned: "Mrs. An..."
"No need to call me Mrs. An." The woman's voice was a little bitter: "Oh, you don't know my name yet. My surname is Lu. You can call me Sister Lu. Please accept the money no matter what, otherwise I will feel guilty Very unsettling.”
Then she smiled bitterly: "Actually, I couldn't afford such a small amount at first, but after such a change in my family, I can't afford more money for the time being, so please don't mind. "
Now that the words have come to this, Chen Xiao knows that if he doesn't take it, he can't shirk it. Moreover, Chen Xiao was not the kind of hypocritical person. He thought about it and put it in his pocket solemnly: "Okay, then I'll accept it. If you need anything, you can always come to me."
After saying goodbye and leaving the hospital, I saw a police car parked at the gate. The police officer named Xu was standing next to the car, holding a cigarette in his hand and watching Chen Xiao walk out with a smile.
At night, the cigarette butt in Officer Xu's hand flickered like a spark.
As soon as he saw the other party's playful smile and eyes, Chen Xiao felt a little nervous.
"Get in the car. It's too late to catch a taxi. I'll give you a ride." Officer Xu threw away the cigarette butt with a smile and opened the door.
The police "invite" you to get into the police car. Can you refuse
Chen Xiao smiled bitterly and got in the car. After the car started, Chen Xiao was mentally prepared, knowing that the policeman must have something to ask him, but he simply felt confused and thought to himself: I don't understand many things myself. If you ask me, I won't do anything. do not know either.
Thinking about it this way, he felt calm.
"Do you smoke?" Officer Xu took out a box of cigarettes.
"No." Chen Xiao shook his head - in fact, he can smoke. When his parents died two years ago, he learned to smoke when he was depressed, but he hasn't smoked it for a long time.
"It's a good habit not to smoke." Officer Xu smiled and put away the cigarette case. As he drove, looking at the road ahead, he asked lightly: "Are all the injuries you suffered in the past few days healed?"
"..." Chen Xiao was speechless.
This question was the one he couldn't answer the most.
The injuries he suffered before, after he was taken away by Hei San and Lei Hu, he didn't know what they did to him. After he woke up, all the injuries on his body were miraculously healed, without even leaving any scars.
If it were anyone else, who would believe it? No matter how good your physical fitness is and how strong your recovery ability is - but the so-called "breaking a muscle and breaking a bone for a hundred days" doesn't make sense for recovery in just three days? What's more, with so many wounds, even if they heal, it's impossible not to leave any scars.
Seeing that Chen Xiao didn't speak, Officer Xu seemed to smile: "Don't you think you can answer?"
There was a profound meaning in his tone: "Actually, I have always had doubts about the robber's case. During the on-site investigation that day, it was found that the robber's car was knocked over by a powerful impact. To cause such a powerful impact, unless It has to be a heavy-duty truck. But... there was no truck passing by at all. Moreover, afterwards, I specifically checked the surveillance video of the nearby road section, only to find that during the ten minutes when the incident occurred, the nearby surveillance camera seemed to be blocked. Something interfered and left nothing behind.”
He finally turned to look at Chen Xiao and asked coldly: "You were in the robber's car at the time. Can you answer these questions of mine?"
Chen Xiao was silent for a while, then finally sighed and said with a wry smile: "Officer Xu, if I say that there really is a 'Superman' in this world, would you believe it?"
"Superman?" Officer Xu raised his eyebrows and seemed to smile: "You mean the one in the movie? Superman? Batman? Spider-Man?"
Chen Xiao sighed: "That's probably what it means." But then he became a little frustrated: "I know you won't believe it. You are a police officer, how can you believe such ridiculous things."
Crunch! ! !
Officer Xu suddenly stepped on the brakes! The car suddenly stopped in the middle of the road!
It was already late at night, and the road was not busy. As far as the eye could see, there were no passers-by or vehicles in front or behind. The police car stopped in the middle of the road. Officer Xu held the steering wheel tightly with both hands and took a deep breath. Then he took out the cigarette case and lit a cigarette for himself. He took several puffs before saying in a deep voice. One sentence.
"If, I told you, I believe it. What would you say?"
Chen Xiao: "Huh?? Do you believe it?"
"Yes, if you met other police officers today, they would definitely scold you for talking nonsense... But, I believe it!"
Officer Xu's face was a little gloomy. He took a few puffs of the cigarette and seemed a little irritated. He opened the car window and threw the cigarette butt far away.
His eyes were cloudy and uncertain, as if some memories were evoked in his heart.
The car was filled with the strong smell of tobacco. After a long silence, Officer Xu spoke with a wry smile.
"Actually, I'm not a native of K city. Nine years ago, I was in a city on the eastern coast, and I served as a special agent in a certain police department there. I can't tell you the specific organization. Nine years ago One day, I and several colleagues in the same group were ordered to protect two foreign businessmen from Japan. Because the other party said that someone was threatening their lives, so... My colleagues and I were ordered to protect the foreign businessmen for 20 years while they were staying in the country. Protect them for four hours until they leave..."
Chen Xiao's heart moved. Hearing Officer Xu's somewhat bitter tone, he couldn't help but feel something in his heart. This was probably some past event that he couldn't let go of.
"... I remember, that day was January 6th. It was a very rare heavy snowfall in winter that year - haha, as you know, it rarely snows heavily in the south. But that day, it snowed very hard. We were a group of four colleagues, as well as two Japanese foreign businessmen and six bodyguards, a total of ten people, guarding the room where the foreign businessmen lived. It was in a hotel, and the surrounding rooms and the entrances and exits of the floor were all our people, so strict Protection, I was confident that even a fly would find it difficult to fly in... But it just happened... "
When he said this, he suddenly paused and turned to look at Chen Xiao: "What happened that time almost overturned many of my beliefs."
Chen Xiao understood something in his heart and asked tentatively: "The target you are protecting is dead?"
"Dead." Officer Xu's face looked a little ugly: "Right under my nose!"
