Chapter 121 Night Talk
"In the case of a murder of a family, this kitten carving is not important."
Luo Xun stroked the kitten carving with his fingers: "Can you tell me now what you talked about with Tu Guoan later?"
Chi Xia motioned for him to sit down, and sat down himself. "Actually, I got nothing. I'm sure he's not the murderer of my parents. I just want to learn as much as possible from him about the situation at my home at that time. Maybe there are details that I missed."
"But his death made you sure that he was involved in this matter." Luo Xun said: "Someone is anxious and can't wait even a day."
"Yes, but I have never had any idea what role he played in this case."
Chi Xia took the kitten carving and put it in the box: "But I am sure of Tu Guoan's motive for committing the crime."
"cat."
Luo Xun continued: "At that time, the police found a small box in his home, which contained many similar carvings. Each cat was vivid and lifelike , which shows his love for cats."
"I asked about his neighbors and colleagues at that time. He rarely got close to anyone, but it was different with cats." Chi Xia looked at him.
Luo Xun: "He likes cats very much, but he never keeps one. After his parents divorced, he was left to his father, a father with violent tendencies and a criminal record. You can imagine his living environment. When he was thirteen, his father accidentally beat his grandfather to death. Later, his father was sent to prison for the second time, and not long after that, he got liver cancer, in the late stage."
Chi Xia sneered: "This is probably retribution."
She continued the previous topic: "Cats are the only things that can make Tu Guoan feel warm. When the Zhou family's youngest son brought a stray cat home, he felt that he had met a fellow cat, so he gave him the kitten carving. It was his way of expressing his love and closeness."
Luo Xun searched the record in the file in his mind: "The Zhou family's father and daughter are allergic to cat hair, so if the youngest son brings a cat here, it may cause the family to expel the cat, or even use more cruel methods to deal with it..."
There was a sound of rain outside the window. The two looked at each other and fell silent.
There was a muffled thunder in the distance, the sound was not loud, and there was a flash of lightning outside the window. Chi Xia said, "The Zhou family must have done something to the cat to make him crazy and kill the family. The so-called theft was discovered by the owner, so he could just kill the person and then disguise it."
Luo Xun suddenly thought of something, his eyes sharp: "Chi Xia, I may be a little bold, I want to say, what if Tu Guoan is also affected? Like Zhou Yanchen and Yu Jia, don't forget that his psychological problems are also very serious."
Chi Xia smiled knowingly, but did not answer Luo Xun's question. Instead, he said, "Someone came into my house a few days ago."
Luo Xun's heart moved, his expression became stern: "Do you suspect it's someone behind this?"
"My house was ransacked, but the restoration was very successful. Another point is that I don't have any medicine today because I found out someone had touched my medicine. Just to be on the safe side, my sister took all of it back. The new medicine hasn't been delivered to me yet."
Chi Xia stood up, walked to the window and opened it. A cool breeze blew in with raindrops, and the air was filled with the smell of leaves and soil. A flash of lightning struck in the distance.
She turned and looked at Luo Xun: "I told you about the memory I recalled today. You should have realized that the environment where I was at that time was very complicated, especially those children outside the cage, the death of my parents, my memories, your sister, and all the things we encountered recently..."
She pointed to a book on the table and said, "Nothing can escape psychology. To be more precise, it's criminal psychology."
Luo Xun also stood up and walked over to close the window: "Don't be so arrogant, your clothes are all wet."
Chi Xia choked and walked to the table.
Luo Xun walked back: "I assume that behind us is a criminal group that has members with serious mental defects. They are not like regular criminal groups that put themselves at the commanding heights of fairness and justice and claim to be judges."
The two of them fell silent at the same time, and thought of the memory of Chi Xia at the same time.
"Maybe." Chi Xia said slowly: "They just want to create a perfect criminal business empire. Killing is just a game, just like this time."
"And you." Luo Xun looked at her: "You were probably that seed back then. Everything you've gone through was for this result. Their goal is to create criminals. Those children outside the cage may be the same as you."
"It's still different." Chi Xia shook his head.
Luo Xun frowned: "What?"
"I'm wearing a nice skirt, but they don't." Chi Xia said seriously.
Luo Xun: ...
Silence lingered between the two people again, and Luo Xun suddenly felt a little depressed.
When he was about to say something, Chi Xia chuckled and spoke.
She said: "I used to think my memory loss was only related to my adoptive parents, but after they died my memory started to come back in pieces, and now I think my memory may have been damaged before I met them."
"If you escape from that kind of environment, it will be difficult for you to integrate into this society. Perhaps this is the purpose of your adoptive parents choosing to hypnotize your memory." Luo Xun asked her: "Is that so?"
"Yes." Chi Xia frowned: "Before doing this, they must have asked for my opinion, and I must have agreed. That's why the hypnosis effect was so successful. Maybe it's not just hypnosis, but also drugs."
"Do you remember how you left there?" Luo Xun asked her.
Chi Xia's eyes were blank for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said, "From the memory I recovered, it seems that someone rescued me. He was a little older than me, and we had a good relationship."
"It's really good." Chi Xia repeated, "The kind of good where we depend on each other for life."
"He is the person you miss very much, right?" Luo Xun said.
Chi Xia smiled and said, "Besides my adoptive parents, he is probably the only one left. My senior sisters are all living well. I can see them anytime I want and hear their voices. But as for this person, I can't remember his face, his name, or whether he is still alive."
Chi Xia sighed, feeling a little annoyed.
Luo Xun diverted her attention and said, "My friend in prison said that the higher-ups are planning to classify Tu Guoan's death as suicide, but I want to find someone about Tu Guoan to see if I can get some clues from him."
Chi Xia thought of something: "Tu Guolin?"
Tu Guolin, the twin brother of Tu Guoan.
Luo Xun walked to the wall of cases and looked at the photos of Chi Xia's adoptive parents, Lin Yushan and Yang Shujun. "Chi Xia, it seems that my sister's case is probably related to this criminal group."
"They admitted this in disguise when they tied us together with a few roses."
Chi Xia also looked at the case wall: "We must first find out what the connection is between my adoptive father and your sister, and who sent the bouquet of flowers five years ago."
The red lines seemed to be tangled into a mess before them. Luo Xun's eyes darkened. "I have a wall like this at home. For the sake of courtesy, you can also take a look at it when you have time."
"Okay." Chi Xia agreed.
Suddenly, a cell phone rang in the bedroom. The two people looked at each other. Chi Xia paused for a moment before realizing that it was Luo Xun's phone ringing.
"Yours. I'll get it."
She quickly returned to the house , took out her cell phone, and saw only one word on the screen: Mom.
"My mom." Luo Xun picked up the phone and answered it, then turned around and stood in front of the window: "Mom, why are you calling so late?"
Before the sound came from the other side, Chi Xia avoided it and went to the bedroom.
Soon Luo Xun's voice rang out from the living room: "Chi Xia, I have to go."
When Chi Xia came out, she was holding an umbrella and a bag. "Captain Luo, the rain is getting heavier. Take an umbrella before you go. There are also these medicines. Mr. Ba said you can use them. Apply them on your shoulders and arms. You will get better soon."
Luo Xun took them all without hesitation, leaning over to pick up the garbage bag that had been prepared in front of him: "I'll help you throw away the garbage, you go to bed early, ah, there's more."
He pointed at Chi Xia's door and window: "I just observed that the lock of one of your balcony windows is a little loose. You need to change it later. And your door, since someone has entered the house, have you changed the lock?"
"It's not too late." Chi Xia said, "I wanted to leave them a loophole, but so far they haven't come back a second time."
Luo Xun frowned and said in an unhappy tone: "Your behavior is very risky, you must change it as soon as possible."
Chi Xia raised her finger and said, "Captain Luo, I will change it tomorrow. I promise."
Luo Xun sneered, opened the door and went out, then quickly poked his head in: "No need to come out."
He slammed the door shut. Chi Xia stood inside the door. She was stunned for a moment and suddenly laughed.
