Chapter 186 A Road
When Chi Xia returned home, Ge Jingyi was cleaning up the leftovers on the table.
Seeing Chi Xia coming, she joked: "Wow, Officer Chi won Captain Luo's heart so quickly? Luo Xun's willpower is not good enough, who confessed first?"
"I."
Chi Xia couldn't help laughing: "But Captain Luo said that he was the first to fall in love. I think with my charm, it would be hard for him not to be moved."
She casually lifted her hair and looked at Ge Jingyi's long hair: "My beauty has been reduced by at least 50 points because of this short hair."
"Give your Luo team some chance to survive."
Ge Jingyi tied a knot in the garbage bag and put it aside: "This is the boy's first time falling in love. If you give him another 50 minutes, he will be lost."
Chi Xia took out two more cans of beer from the refrigerator: "I think you're right, so I'll restrain myself for now."
"Silly you, of course you have to restrain yourself."
Ge Jingyi sat down and opened a beer: "Let him be fascinated little by little, but don't give away everything about yourself too early. Let the man figure it out on his own. You are only responsible for the mystery."
Chi Xia sat opposite her: "You don't know, I am also fascinated by myself now."
Ge Jingyi looked at her, feeling a little distressed. She touched Chi Xia's beer and said, "You must have had a hard time in the past few years. Although memory can be good or bad, and sometimes it can torture people to the point of wanting to die, the confusion and curiosity that come from nowhere are even more tormenting. I know what kind of torture people will suffer because of the three words ' why '..."
She took a sip of beer. "Why me? Why this? Why that? I can't find the answer, and no one will tell you the answer. I know how painful it is, not to mention memory."
Chi Xia smiled bitterly and touched him in the air: "Yes, the more you can't get an answer, the more you want to live clearly, but maybe when I sealed my memory, I also had my own wishes."
She drank a large can of beer in one breath: "Okay, let's move forward step by step. Let's talk about your business. You told me about Nie Haishu's disappearance last time. I asked you to check his brother. Did you find anything?"
"have."
Ge Jingyi immediately became serious; "Nie Haishu's brother is called Nie Haijun. Unlike Nie Haishu, who is a poor student, he has been a good student since he was young. He is not just an ordinary student. He studied in a school in the countryside of Dongzhou before he entered junior high school. I went to ask around, and the teacher who taught him told me that although he had good grades, he had a very dull and weird personality. In general, he was not very popular in school."
"Strange?" Chi Xia asked, "Any examples ?"
" The teacher told me that once several students ganged up on him and locked him in the school toilet for a night. He said nothing the next day, as if nothing had happened. He did not fight back when those people provoked him. But when the students were on holiday, those students were locked up from Friday night to Sunday. When they were found, they were so scared that two of them took half a year to recover."
"Even if it's a holiday, there should be people on duty at school." Chi Xia said, "Didn't those students ask for help?"
"That's what's strange about it!"
Ge Jingyi opened another can of beer: "I asked, and the teacher said that they later asked those students why they didn't call for help. Guess what those students said? They told the teacher that it was Nie Haijun who didn't let them shout. He didn't know what kind of spell he cast on them. They couldn't speak! They themselves didn't know why they didn't call for help!"
Chi Xia's face darkened.
She thought for a while: "What about Nie Haijun's death? How did he die? Did the police investigate?"
"I tried to find his mother, but couldn't find her. Nie Haijun was taken away by his mother after he graduated from junior high school. Nie Haishu's grandmother doesn't know where the mother and son went or where they lived. I asked my brothers to check, but there are still no clues."
"Who told his grandmother about Nie Haijun's death?" Chi Xia asked, "Did you ask his grandmother?"
Ge Jingyi stood up: "Wait a minute."
She ran over to get her bag and took out a letter from it: "This letter should be from Nie Haishu's mother to his grandmother. His grandmother is illiterate. She told me that Nie Haishu left after reading the letter and did not return until two days later. That was when Nie Haishu returned to Dongzhou and left without saying goodbye."
Chi Xia looked at the address on the envelope: "Have you checked here?"
Ge Jingyi smiled bitterly: "I went to look for it, but found nothing. It must be a fake address."
"Ge Jingyi, tell me objectively, what kind of person is Nie Haishu?"
Chi Xia looked at Ge Jingyi seriously and asked.
Ge Jingyi's expression changed several times, her eyes showed disdain, but her tone was serious: "To be honest, he is a very loyal person. He looks like a jerk, but he has his own bottom line. When he was fifteen, his father died in a car accident. The perpetrator paid a large sum of money, and within two days his mother took the money and ran away."
"His grandmother was still in the hospital at the time, and his mother didn't leave them a penny, so Nie Haishu hated his mother very much. Later, he stopped going to school and went out to find a job. He did all kinds of work. After his life finally got better, he disappeared..."
"He was desperate for family life."
Ge Jingyi finished her beer in one gulp: "Chi Xia, did I tell you that we just got our marriage certificate half a month before he disappeared?"
Chi Xia was startled. She didn't expect that they were already married.
Ge Jingyi laughed until tears came out of her eyes: "That bastard is so old-fashioned. We've even got the marriage certificate, but he won't sleep with me. He insists that it won't count until we have a wedding banquet. I'm still a virgin, and I'm a widow for no reason. I even have to take care of his grandmother for him."
Chi Xia could feel the sadness and grievance overflowing from her. She finished her beer, walked over and gently hugged Ge Jingyi: "Ge Jingyi, we have to find out the cause of his brother's death first."
Ge Jingyi raised her head and held back the tears that had just come out: "I thought you would at least comfort me that tomorrow will be better. Chi Xia, you have no heart."
Chi Xia smiled: "My focus now is on his younger brother. From what you said, Nie Haijun might be a genius, and he might have special talents in hypnosis, induction or brainwashing. If that's true..."
When Chi Xia said this, she suddenly remembered something. She let go of Ge Jingyi and called Luo Xun.
Luo Xun quickly answered the phone, but Chi Xia said, "Luo Xun, let Heizi answer the phone. I have something to ask him."
When the call reached Heizi, Chi Xia just said, "Heizi, I'm going to ask you a question. Just answer it with "yes" or "no."
She paused. “Does Hammer have unusual sensitivity in some way? In other words, does Hammer have any violent or criminal tendencies?”
There was a pause on the other end, and Chi Xia heard Heizi say, "Yes."
"I understand." Chi Xia hung up the phone.
Ge Jingyi was puzzled: "What does this have to do with Heizi?"
"Maybe it matters a lot." Chi Xia said.
On Luo Xun's side, Heizi returned the phone to Luo Xun after answering the call, and Luo Xun didn't even ask him anything.
The car drove for quite a while, and he couldn't help but ask guiltily: "Brother Xun... why don't you ask me... I feel guilty if you don't ask me..."
Luo Xun asked: "About the hammer?"
"Ah..." Heizi affirmed.
"You hid it from me."
Luo Xun said: "Last time Chi Xia asked me to warm you up, and I thought about it later. She should have seen that you definitely haven't let go of the hammer issue, right?"
"Yes." Heizi said firmly: "Brother Xun, Hammer was killed by someone."
“So you knew about this back then.”
Luo Xun snorted and laughed: "Chi Xia called you, is this matter related to Nie Haishu's matter?"
Heizi shook his head, "I don't know. She just asked me if Hammer had any violent or criminal tendencies or something like that."
"Does he have one?"
Heizi nodded: "Yes, sometimes he gets crazy and it's scary. I almost got killed once."
Luo Xun concentrated, as if he realized the purpose of Chi Xia's asking this question.
After a long while, he sighed : "Heizi, you called me brother, today I will talk to you as your brother."
"Brother Xun, you speak, I will listen to you."
Luo Xun said: "I understand that everyone needs an answer, including myself , but when things come to a critical moment, you must remember that there is only one right way to punish criminals."
"What?"
“Bring them to justice.”
Luo Xun said in a serious tone: "So, if you dare to risk your life or take an unconventional approach, we will go our separate ways now."
Heizi was silent for a while.
"I won't."
Heizi smiled and said, "Brother Xun, I still have a good life to live. We all have to live a good life."
