With Gu Shao's instructions, Wang Wu and the others did not bring Song Shishan to City B, but only invited people to the county town where Luo Zang Township is located, a clubhouse with a fairly clean environment and sufficient tranquility.
When Gu Shao arrived, Song Shishan was sitting stooped in a corner, holding a cup of tea tightly in his hands, his figure shrunken.
Sensing that someone was walking in front of him, Song Shishan's body trembled, and a lot of tea was sprinkled in his hand.
"Someone will clean up." Gu Shao said, preventing Song Shishan from leaning down to wipe the water stains on the ground.
After that, Gu Shao sat down opposite Song Shishan.
Seeing the person in front of him, Song Shishan's eyes flashed with horror.
"you… "
"I'm Gu Shao." Gu Shao briefly introduced himself.
"I-I know, I saw you last time at the entrance of the village, with Lin Xi." Song Shishan opened his mouth and said.
However, Gu Shao seriously emphasized: "She is now called Gu Xi."
"Gu Xi..." Song Shishan murmured the name, then nodded, and said submissively, "It's very, very good."
"What's the matter with you coming here to find me?" Song Shishan asked carefully.
Even if he knew that the person in front of him was Gu Xi's biological father, he was barely related to him. He probably didn't want to hurt himself or wanted to do something to himself, but facing Gu Shao, Song Shishan couldn't help feeling sad. fear.
Even though he didn't feel any malice in Gu Shao's expression and attitude at the moment, sitting in front of him like this would easily bring a lot of pressure to people.
Gu Shao didn't speak, he took a document from Wang Wu behind him and handed it to Song Shishan.
Looking at what was handed over, Song Shishan muttered in his heart, not knowing what was inside, but had a bad feeling.
Song Shishan shook his head, pushed back and said, "I don't even know a few words—"
Before Song Shishan could finish speaking, Gu Shao interrupted him and said, "If you don't know the words, you can look at the pictures."
Hearing this, Song Shishan knew that he couldn't escape, so he had to bite the bullet and took the document from Gu Shao's hand, and opened the document with trembling hands.
Song Shishan didn't know much about the characters above, but he could understand the pictures.
The pictures should have been taken from abnormal perspectives such as public surveillance, but they are not the same as the current high-definition surveillance pictures—these pictures are still black and white and somewhat blurred.
Song Shishan stared at a few photos and studied it over and over again. Suddenly, his eyes widened, as if he was frightened, and he threw the 'hot' document in his hand.
"This, this is..." Song Shishan's lips trembled, his face full of horror.
—This is the restaurant he went to when he went to B City to find the Lin family.
Song Shishan still remembers the appearance of this restaurant even after more than ten years: if it hadn't happened that day, he wouldn't have to hide in Songjia Village for more than ten years and would not dare to go out.
In the corner of the photo, Song Shishan really saw his original figure - in the photo, he was rushing out of the restaurant with a bag of things.
Song Shishan subconsciously wanted to run, but was pushed back to the seat by the people brought by Gu Shao.
"I don't know or recognize these things." Song Shishan denied it.
And Gu Shao just glanced at the other party lightly, and said, "If I hadn't mastered some directional clues, I wouldn't have found you."
After that, Gu Shao leaned over again, clicked on a few photos on the materials, and said slowly: "The place on the photo is a restaurant called Baiyelin."
"On the day shown above, there was a serious violence in this private room, right?"
Gu Shao looked sharply at Song Shishan, saw the other party shaking his head and said nothing, and continued: "In that violent incident, not only were some people injured, but two people were stabbed to the core, and there were no vital signs on the spot. "
"It's just that after the incident, someone spent money to seal up everyone's mouths, and gave a large sum of money to the families of the two deceased, so that the other party agreed to be private. Death forged as an accidental death and finally silenced the whole thing..."
Gu Shao's words fell into Song Shishan's heart word by word, and what happened at that time flashed in Song Shishan's mind constantly, as if he could vividly remember it.
Gu Shao looked at Song Shishan quietly, and threw out another sentence: "Killing for life."
With a 'bang', Song Shishan was so frightened that he dropped the cup in his hand.
Just listen to Gu Shao and continue: "And most of the evidence that can be found so far points to you."
Gu Shao's words became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Song Shishan suddenly fell from the chair and sat on the ground, shaking his head madly, and kept saying, "It's not me."
"It's not me, I really didn't do it, I didn't kill anyone!"
"Who is that?" Gu Shao asked in a deep voice. The calm voice seemed to know the truth.
"I-I don't know, I don't know anything."
Song Shishan still wanted to pretend to be stupid, but he heard Gu Shao sneer again: "It has not been more than 20 years since the original incident, and it is still in the prosecution period. Once you are prosecuted, you still can't escape."
"Besides," after a pause, Gu Shao said again, "Do you think intentional murder can be private?"
Song Shishan was completely frightened by Gu Shao's words, and he told the truth while crying: "It's not me, it's Lin Yize, he deliberately framed me, he killed someone and asked me to top it!"
"Evidence?" Gu Shao asked.
"I-I don't have any evidence..." Song Shishan showed despair: it wasn't that he didn't want to find evidence, but the real evidence had already been destroyed, and now all the forged evidence pointed to him.
Song Shishan suddenly looked at Gu Shao, but it seemed like he saw a life-saving straw.
Song Shishan came up to grab Gu Shao, but Gu Shao avoided him, but the man pleaded eagerly: "It's really that Lin Lin, he did everything, please help me. "
"I can help you." Gu Shao said.
Hearing this, Song Shishan looked at Gu Shao in surprise.
"Really? You believe me?" Song Shishan asked excitedly.
Gu Shao was noncommittal—he didn't believe in Song Shishan, but in what he had investigated. Besides, just relying on Song Shishan, he didn't have the ability to cost those two lives.
So, Gu Shao said again: "If you want me to help you, then you have to tell the truth."
Hearing this, Song Shishan nodded sharply: "I said, I said..."
"What should I say?" Song Shishan asked.
"Say you know."
"Okay." Song Shishan nodded and began to recall what had happened.
—
Song Shishan used to gamble because he owed a lot of money to others.
Later, Song Kexin went to the city to catch up with the rich man Lin Yize, and then returned to the village to pull Zhang Cui and Song Shishan for a divorce, and cut off relations with him.
At first Song Shishan disagreed, but the Lin family didn't know what to do with a group of people who locked up Song Shishan and beat him, and even broke his leg.
Song Shishan was afraid and had no choice but to sign the divorce agreement.
In order not to let Song Shishan go to City B to make trouble and affect the reputation of the Lin family, Song Kexin agreed that after his divorce from Zhang Cui, he would pay him a living allowance every three months.
At first, it was on time, but later, Song Kexin's living expenses gradually became untimely. Song Shishan would go to Lin's house or a place attended by Lin Yize to ask for it, and if he didn't give it, he would be a scoundrel.
This trick works great.
Once again, Song Shishan was cornered by the debt collectors, so he had to go to City B again.
From the servants of the Lin family, Song Shishan found out that Lin Yize was in a certain restaurant and went there.
When he got to the place, Lin Yize's men didn't chase him away, just let him wait.
Lin Yize was talking with another group of people.
At that time, the Lin family was not as good as the current Lin family. If Lin Yize wanted to make the Lin family prosper quickly, he would inevitably get involved in some unclean activities.
It was probably because the matter did not come to an end, the people on both sides fought.
Song Shishan peeked outside—he was a countryman, he had never read or seen anything in the world. He had seen the battle there, and Song Shishan was immediately taken aback.
"That's right! Lin Yize did the two who died!" Song Shishan said: At that time, everyone in the private room was red-eyed. In the chaos, several of the other side's younger brothers took the guys and prepared to attack Lin Yize, while Song Shishan saw it with his own eyes. Watching Lin Yize expressionlessly stabbed the approaching people several times, the knife was fatal.
The fighting gradually subsided, and all the people at the scene were locked in the private rooms of the hotel.
Song Shishan wanted to run, but was stopped and brought in front of Lin Yize.
Lin Yize pointed to the two motionless 'people' on the ground and let Song Shishan admit that he did it by mistake.
Of course Song Shishan didn't want to admit it, but he was beaten up by Lin Yize's people.
Lam Yize is both a threat and an inducement.
At that time, Song Shishan had long been frightened, and he was terrified of Lin Yize's ruthlessness, and his brain was not bright at all. Hearing Lin Yize's remarks, guaranteeing that he would be fine, and that he would help him repay his debts, Song Shishan nodded confusedly, walked around the scene a few times as the other party said, and took the other party's hands again. The things that were given to him, and finally, holding a bag, he fled from the hotel in a hurry.
All subsequent operations were done by Lin Yize.
He sealed his mouth with money, cleaned up the real on-site evidence, and concocted a so-called 'accident' and picked himself up.
As for making Song Shi Shan Shan Bao, it was a back-up that Lin Yize left behind.
- To be on the safe side, he forged evidence pointing to Song Shishan. Even if this matter is overturned and clues are found in the future, only Song Shishan will be found to be the murderer, not Lin Yize.
Lin Yize's methods are so good that the truth of this matter has been buried for many years without being discovered.
However, Song Shishan has been living in fear and fear, for fear that one day he will be caught and eaten peanuts. Therefore, Song Shishan has been hiding in the Song Village all these years and dare not go out.
"It's all done by Lin Yize, please, help me." Song Shishan begged to Gu Shao.
"Yes." Gu Shao responded and said again: "However, I need your cooperation to testify against Lin Yize."
Hearing this, Song Shishan hesitated for a moment, but backed away.
Lin Yize's ruthlessness when he killed people still makes Song Shishan terrified and timid - he didn't dare to provoke that devil easily, let alone confront him in court.
Besides, that incident has not actually been discovered since then. If Gu Shao didn't say it, he could still hide in the village and live in peace.
It's been so much of his life, for better or worse, Song Shishan just wants to live now.
Seemingly seeing Song Shishan's thoughts, Gu Shao narrowed his eyes and said nothing more.
Gu Shao took the tea cup in front of him and wanted to take a sip of tea, but seeing the cup that 'felt not very clean', Gu Shao gave up.
Putting the teacup back silently, Gu Shao stood up and glanced at Song Shishan lightly.
"15 days, how to choose, you can think about it slowly." After that, Gu Shao turned around and left.
—
After leaving Luoming County, Gu Shao returned to City B.
As soon as Gu Shao returned home, he saw Gu Xi staring at him eagerly, as if there were countless questions in his eyes.
Gu Shao's eyes flashed helpless, he entered the room and looked at Gu Xi again.
"What do you want to know?" Gu Shao sighed inwardly and asked.
Hearing this, Gu Xi blinked twice: "A lot, um, I want to know."
"Sit down." Gu Shao asked Gu Xi to sit on the sofa opposite him.
Seeing Gu Xi sitting obediently in front of him, Gu Shao's expression became a little serious, and he opened his mouth to explain to Gu Xi.
"Because of Grandpa's identity in the past, and because the existence of the Gu family in the past affected the interests of certain people, therefore, the Gu family does have some potential enemies..."
Gu Shao explained to Gu Xi the situation of the Gu family and the identities of Xie Hongbo and Gu Yaobai in the simplest way possible.
"As for the Lin family..."
"Is it because of me?" Gu Xi asked.
"no."
"That's because of the accident at the beginning, Lin Yize felt that his own people were with you... , so he was twisted and wanted to take revenge on you?" Gu Xi said blankly.
As soon as the words fell, Gu Shao glared at him.
"Don't think about those messy things in your head." Gu Shao said to Gu Xi.
Hearing this, Gu Xi shrank her neck guiltily, and felt a little aggrieved: it's not that she is unhealthy and talking nonsense, but that's exactly what it's written in the novel.
Although this is written in the novel to emphasize the male protagonist's deep love for the female protagonist.
"That person was originally a pervert..." Gu Xi whispered.
"Xi Xi."
"Well, I won't tell you." Gu Xi covered her mouth symbolically and looked at Gu Shao obediently.
Gu Shao glanced at Gu Xi with a headache.
He never told Gu Xi about these things, just because there were some things involved, Gu Shao felt that it was not suitable to tell Gu Xi now, but he couldn't avoid it or jump over it.
"The Lin family's dealing with the Gu family has a relationship with Gu Yaobai, business interests, and some revenge..." Gu Shao slipped this part as concisely as possible.
"The above are some of the situations our family is facing now." After a pause, Gu Shao said again, "I'm telling you this, I just don't want you to think about it in your head all day, not to let you worry about it."
"Whether it's an enemy you can see or can't see, don't be afraid. I, grandpa, uncle, and uncle will solve it."
Seeing Gu Xi nodding, Gu Shao continued to tell her about Song Kexin.
The reason why Song Kexin abnormally asked Gu Xi to go back to the Lin family several times, and the reason why Zhang Cui attacked Gu Xi, was only for one purpose, that is to ask Gu Xi to provide Song Kexin with organs.
Gu Shao didn't want Gu Xi to see such a dark side at this age, and he didn't want Gu Xi to doubt other family relationships because of Song Kexin and Zhang Cui's unbearableness.
It's just that some things can't be hidden. Knowing this, Gu Xi can protect yourself.
After Gu Shao finished speaking, he glanced at Gu Xi nervously. Fortunately, apart from a trace of surprise on Gu Xi's face, Gu Shao did not see sadness or despair.
—
Hearing from Gu Shao that Song Kexin was ill, Gu Xi was puzzled.
After all, in the part of the novel she had read, Song Kexin had no serious illness, except that he had been sick once before, which made the male protagonist love her even more.
Is reality different from fiction
"Or does this part actually exist, but it was skipped in the novel and not written?" Gu Xi lowered her eyes and muttered in her heart.
After all, novels are just novels, and most of the content described is for the plot. It is impossible to write down everything in detail. Therefore, it is possible to skip the 'not very sweet' plot of Song Kexin's relapse of an old illness.
If so, how did Song Kexin recover later
In this regard, Gu Xi was still full of doubts.
Gu Xi recalled every detail in the novel as much as possible.
It's just that there are too few hints for her in the novel - apart from the sweet love story of the hero and heroine, there are very few other things.
In the novel, the dark history of the hero and heroine 'Lin Xi' is rarely written.
But it seems that there was indeed a certain plot that mentioned 'Lin Xi'...
Gu Xi's mind flashed, and just when she was about to think of something, her thoughts were interrupted by someone.
—
After dealing with the follow-up to yesterday's accident, Gu Xuan came along with Cui Min and Gu Chenyi.
As soon as she entered the room, Cui Min ran up to Gu Xi nervously: "Xi Xi was frightened yesterday, come, auntie, take a look."
Although, I had repeatedly confirmed on the phone last night that Gu Xi was alright, Cui Min couldn't help but nervously pulled Gu Xi up and down to check it, as if she was afraid that there was something on Gu Xi's body that was 'concealed and not reported'.
"I'm really fine." Gu Xi said to Cui Min with a smile.
Although what happened yesterday was thrilling, Gu Xi was definitely not injured at all.
"It's okay to be okay." Cui Min took Gu Xi into her arms and patted Gu Xi's back while speaking to comfort.
Gu Chenyi on the side also intends to come over.
As a result, as soon as Gu Chenyi came over, he let Cui Min slap him back.
"What to say, don't do anything." Cui Min glanced at Gu Chenyi and said.
At this time, Gu Chenyi was stunned and aggrieved: "I just want to comfort her..." What's wrong with Hug
"Xixi is a girl, you are a boy, what are you doing?" Cui Min said.
"We two are cousins and brothers."
"That's not OK."
"Hand, hands off."
Gu Chenyi: "..." Who is not a baby anymore, the baby feels aggrieved.
…
"Don't look at Cui Min's 'unrestrained' running abroad in recent years. In fact, he is still very traditional in his bones."
Gu Shao and Gu Xuan sat aside, watching the interaction between the three, Gu Xuan smiled and said.
After a pause, Gu Xuan said again: "I didn't want to tell them, but I got a call at night and didn't hide it."
And the old man is also there, if you want to hide it or not.
Hearing that Gu Xi almost had an accident, and that it was Song Kexin and Zhang Cui's plan, Mr. Gu was very angry.
However, elderly people can't stand the emotional toss--the old man Gu hadn't beat the guy to Lin's house, but he was almost overwhelmed by the sudden increase in blood pressure.
"The eldest and sister-in-law are trying to persuade them at home..."
If it wasn't for Gu Feng and his wife to stop the old man there, it is estimated that the old man would have gone to the Lin house with a blood pressure monitor.
