Qin Songyuan came back from outside not long after. He was probably staying near his home. He didn't dare to come out. He must have a way of communicating with his wife. He didn't show up timidly until his wife confirmed through a telegram that the danger was over. When he saw Cheng Ran and the other two, he naturally looked at them warily after calming down a little.
This scene is also very sad. Just imagine that at this time, a wealthy man with a net worth of millions, or even tens of millions, should be considered to have a respected status and be surrounded by people in front of and behind people, but now he ends up being harassed by evil spirits and is paranoid. He is no longer the same as before. He is just a middle-aged man who has suffered a setback in his career, his family's safety is threatened, and he is timid.
Qin Songyuan nodded to them and walked to his wife. Qin Qian's mother whispered, "I saw the work ID. It's from the Shanhai City Public Security Bureau. They said it's the special case team of the Public Security Department."
In fact, if it were a local police, Qin Songyuan might not dare to show up. It was precisely because of his identity as a member of the special task force and the fact that he was dispatched from a different place that people could feel a little more at ease. It was possible that this was not an insignificant "inquiry" but a truly targeted and serious one.
Qin Songyuan looked at Zhao Qing, "Where's he?"
Gu Xiaojun said, "Our recorder."
Qin Songyuan looked at Cheng Ran again, "Why is he here?"
Gu Xiaojun said, "You may not know that you are not just victims. Now Lei Wei and his gang are targeting Cheng Feiyang's family. His son has also been harmed and coerced at school. We asked him to come here to dispel your concerns. Please trust us. This is not a trap deliberately set up by evil forces."
Qin Songyuan nodded to Cheng Ran, "Your father is a real man. I, I don't regret it..."
Then Qin Songyuan looked at Gu Xiaojun again, "Officer, I'm sorry to disappoint you. This is Qin Songyuan's personal business problem. It has nothing to do with others. I have nothing to report..."
Gu Xiaojun and Cheng Ran looked at each other, as if they had already expected such a situation.
Then Gu Xiaojun and Zhao Qing did some ideological work on Qin Songyuan and his wife, while Cheng Ran was on the balcony, looking at the street outside the yard.
The city lights are bright. This is a normal day for many people, but for some people, it is a difficult and tormenting day, counting hours or minutes. Deep in the forest of reinforced concrete buildings, the dark side of human hearts is also hidden, implicated in a web. Those who fall into the web will be entangled more and more tightly, and their lives will be worse than death. They can only face the spider made of darkness on the web, with its huge legs and mouthparts that are ready to eat people.
In the room behind him, the sound continued. Under the attack of Gu Xiaojun and Zhao Qing, Qin Songyuan had actually collapsed a lot, but in the end, his rationality still locked him down.
He murmured, "... Officer Gu, Officer Zhao, who do you want me to testify against? I hope you understand that he can handle both the black and white worlds. I dare not say it. Don't force me..."
Gu Xiaojun and Zhao Qing were both furious, but they were also helpless. Facing such a victim, they tried to persuade him with great principles and laws, but he just kept shaking his head and refused to speak. His wife was still crying beside him, but she didn't dare to say a word.
It was as if some huge and invisible black hand had completely defeated and firmly controlled these two people in the room, who were obviously an excellent couple and normal adults. In fact, they were struggling against such a black hand that was playing with their destiny.
The imprisonment and control of human hearts is the greatest shackle in the world.
"Even if the other party used illegal or even violent means to take away the factory that your family depends on for their livelihood, destroyed your business, and harmed your body, you are unwilling to stand up?" Gu Xiaojun said.
Qin Songyuan raised his head and said with a sympathetic and innocent expression, "If I tell him, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive this, and my family's lives will be threatened. He did destroy my factory, and used some tricks to make me continue working, but I worked for them in vain... But at least, we are still fine now... So, officer, I believe in you, I hope you bring them to justice more than anyone else, but I'm sorry, I can't testify for you, please forgive us. But please make sure to catch them."
"Shit! You are the idiots who can never be awakened. This is what I'm talking about! You are the killers. It's people like you who created Lei Wei!" The balcony door opened and Cheng Ran walked in. Qin Songyuan and his wife looked up and glanced at Cheng Ran. However, Cheng Ran's curse, which might make ordinary people furious, did not make them angry. They even felt better.
I feel that he is just a naive teenager who has never seen the world.
"Look at you. You are being led by Lei Wei by the nose. Your family's debts are getting bigger and bigger. Do you think that after a few years, there will be an end? Yes, it may be like this. He is merciful and lets you go. This is just a possibility. It happened that at that time, he was willing to let you go, a fat sheep that could make money for him. Of course, it is also possible that he will control you in a different way because he knows that you can no longer resist. The fear he has planted in your heart is enough to control you, and even make you do illegal and criminal things together, tying you to a boat, and you will never be able to escape from their control. Your daughter and your wife will become tools to threaten you, and they will not have a normal life. Maybe you and your wife don't care. You have come to this point and don't have too many pursuits in life, but what about your daughter?"
Cheng Ran pointed at the dim lights and Qin Qian's mother, as well as the commemorative photo of Qin Qian placed on top of the stereo in the living room. It was a photo of her doing splits in a black swan gauze dress during a troupe performance. "She still has a future life, a lot of pursuits, and wants to see the world with hope... But now, is this what you call, you are all right now? What's the difference between you and the walking dead who can hope for a smoother tomorrow? I'm your daughter's classmate, and I know how she's been doing lately."
"There is only a fine line between depravity and giving up on one's own life. In the past ten years, she has been excellent and walked into the clouds, but because of your weakness, in the next life, or the life after that, she will always remember the scene of the backbone of her family being broken and her self-esteem falling into the dust. She can't raise her head, and she may never be able to raise it again."
After a pause, Cheng Ran took out a business card and placed it on the table. "Your daughter is with me. Out of friendship, I will do my best to take care of her. But, just for now, I can't be responsible for her future. That should be your responsibility."
Cheng Ran stood up, looked at Gu Xiaojun and Zhao Qing, and the three of them left Qin Qian's house.
He drove out in a police car and parked it in a parking lot. Chen Wenguang drove a Santana to pick up the three people and parked the car opposite Qin Qian's house.
Chen Wenguang was in the driver's seat, Zhao Qing was in the passenger seat, Gu Xiaojun and Cheng Ran were in the back seat of the car.
Gu Xiaojun hesitated and asked, "Are you sure he will go? When I was handling cases in the past, I actually saw many such people. The one that impressed me the most was when I went to investigate the phenomenon of village bullies in Mogan Village in Ning County. The other party was the village elder. The village has always been very closed. There is no law, only village rules and ancestral temples. Even when some villagers commit crimes, the elders of the ancestral temple can directly execute people without going through the law, chopping off their hands and feet. Over time, the elder's family has become very powerful and has the final say in the local area. They even bully the people and control the villagers tightly. However, due to the other party's family's The power was so great that the victims in the whole village were so secretive that they could not even say anything bad about them, let alone stand up to testify. The police investigation team worked there for a month and finally had to withdraw. The village remained the same, and even regarded it as a victory that the laws of the outside world were not as important as the village rules. The status quo is still maintained today, and those girls who wanted to freely fall in love with outsiders and were broken their legs and imprisoned at home by their families, and those women who were once considered to have committed adultery and were beaten to death with bricks by hundreds of people under their leadership, have all become a mess because they cannot provide evidence and trace back. "
“There are too many such things.”
"I also..." Cheng Ran shook his head, "... I don't know."
The atmosphere in the car was silent.
It seems that this is the iron unspoken rule of society, shrouding this seemingly warm and affectionate world.
After a moment, Zhao Qing suddenly said, "It's out!"
In fact, Gu Xiaojun had already discovered it but remained calm. He had stopped talking to Cheng Ran and locked eyes with him.
In early winter, Qin Songyuan, wrapped in a coat, wearing sunglasses and a hat on his head, hurried out of the courtyard gate.
"Follow him."
Chen Wenguang started the engine, the car started, and slid into the night after him.
