Chapter 245 Meeting Li Yiming
Taking into account the content and duration of the conversation, Xiao Fang arranged for Chi Xia and Li Yiming to meet in the reception room of the detention center.
"Old Luo said that the case you are investigating now may be related to Tu Guoan's suicide. I came to take a look. You can go in and talk to him later. I will stay outside."
When Xiao Fang saw Chi Xia, he was a little surprised at first, but then he quickly adjusted his mood: "Although the director of the detention center is my friend, we still have to control the time."
Chi Xia agreed, thanked him, and then entered the reception room.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Li Yiming looked up. The moment he saw Chi Xia, he smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It looks like you're having a good time here."
Chi Xia sat down and got straight to the point: "I roughly understand the purpose of your coming here. I want to know how it's going?"
Li Yiming didn't seem surprised by her attitude. He smiled and said, "You didn't bring me a gift."
Chi Xia got up and went out. After a while, he came back with a cup of coffee and handed it to him.
Li Yiming leaned close to the cup and took a deep sniff, his face full of enjoyment. He opened his eyes and said, "Some people laughed at me before, saying that I only knew how to drink instant coffee and was very old-fashioned."
Chi Xia didn't say anything.
He didn't care and continued, "I just like it. There's nothing I can do about it. In this life, the first thing we see is always the thing we remember the longest."
"There's no need to talk about this between us." Chi Xia said, "Time is running out, so let's get down to business."
"Xiao Zheng, go check this person out." Li Yiming said, "He left three days ago."
Chi Xia frowned: "Does going out mean being sentenced or not guilty?"
"Acquitted." Li Yiming said, "This is all I have found."
"For Xu Yang, you sent yourself in here just to investigate this?"
Chi Xia leaned back: "To be honest, I don't believe it."
"You'd be surprised if you believed me." Li Yiming smiled and said, "I said it was for atonement, do you believe me?"
Chi Xia stared at him for a while: "Probably."
"You can see I wasn't lying."
Li Yiming withdrew the smile on his face: "I know the damage I caused to you is irreparable, but I still..."
"no need."
Chi Xia interrupted him, "I don't accept it, and I don't need it. When you did those tests on me and hypnotized me like a guinea pig, causing me to almost cause irreparable consequences, you didn't think about me, let alone your parents who were almost killed by me. The three words "I'm sorry" can eliminate your accumulated guilt, but to me, they are just three light words that don't mean anything."
Li Yiming had already expected this answer. He was neither shocked nor regretful. He just said, " My parents are dead."
"Congratulations to you." Chi Xia said.
Li Yiming smiled and said, "Do you know how they died?"
"I'm not interested, but I think it has something to do with you."
"Junior sister, you know my dark side best."
Li Yiming laughed at himself: "That's what I have always wanted to do, even at the cost of using you, but when they really walked towards death step by step as I imagined, I suddenly realized that I didn't know what to do next."
"So here is actually your best destination." Chi Xia pointed at the table.
"Yes." Li Yiming said, "At least I found peace here."
Chi Xia responded with a sneer.
"But there is one thing."
She put on a gentle smile and said, "We can give me the sorry in another way. You continue your peace and I will investigate my case."
Li Yiming laughed: "I knew you wouldn't suffer any loss."
"071349, what does this number you told Luo Xun mean?" Chi Xia asked directly.
"It's a clue that's easy to miss but not hard to find."
Li Yiming said, "I don't want to be mysterious, but Chi Xia, if you look into this case, you will find that it is not that difficult."
"What about my level?" Chi Xia asked.
"You'll find out soon enough."
"What about the level of Luo Xun and his master?" Chi Xia even asked in a forced tone.
Li Yiming looked at him and smiled: "The crux of the problem lies precisely in Luo Xun and his master."
Chi Xia frowned slightly: "I know."
"I thought that when you came, the first thing you would ask me about my teacher." Li Yiming took a sip of coffee, savoring the taste.
"My memory has been restored." Chi Xia said, "Luo Xun is investigating my parents' case, and we are basically in sync."
Li Yiming's hand trembled, and the coffee spilled onto his hand.
"Chi Xia, there are some truths..."
Chi Xia interrupted him again: "It is my right and choice to know the truth. I don't need anyone to worry about it for me. Besides, the truth is basically hurtful. You just like to deceive yourself , but I just don't like it."
Li Yiming looked at her silently, then he sat back resigned to his fate and sighed, as if he had accepted the result helplessly.
"Just like you have been living under the pressure of your parents for a long time, you wanted to resist, but you turned your eyes to the innocent me because you found out that I was different. You used countless tests to verify my difference and tried to kill them by hypnotizing me. This way you could get away from their control and avoid being judged by the law."
She spoke of the past in a light-hearted manner, and Li Yiming discovered that there was hardly a trace of resentment or disgust in her eyes, as if she was talking about something insignificant.
Chi Xia took out a tissue and wiped the coffee stains on his hands: "I'm curious, when did you start feeling guilty?"
This time, Li Yiming was silent for a long time.
Just when Chi Xia thought he would stop talking, he suddenly looked up and said, "When you realize that no one loves you."
Chi Xia looked at him with clear eyes and didn't ask why.
"The harm I inflicted on you is enough to destroy a person's life. I know that."
"You knew this from the beginning, yet you still chose to take action," said Chi Xia.
"Yes." Li Yiming wiped off the coffee stains on his hands: "But I soon realized that what I brought to you and what you have experienced are just a drop in the ocean."
Chi Xia chuckled: "Most people would let themselves go for this reason and rationalize the harm they bring to others."
"Perhaps I still have some conscience?"
Li Yiming laughed at himself: "Perhaps there is another possibility. When people find that someone is living a worse life than themselves, sympathy will make them feel that they should be kind."
Chi Xia responded with a sneer.
"How much do you know about my parents' death?" Chi Xia did not dwell on the why in the question, but asked him this.
Li Yiming looked at her.
"I will believe it." Chi Xia looked at him and said, "I will believe what you say next."
Li Yiming took a deep breath and exerted a little force on the hand holding the cup. Chi Xia saw wrinkles appearing on the surface of the paper cup.
"I can probably guess a little bit." Chi Xia said, "The ones who can hurt me are my parents, right?"
Li Yiming tightened his grip again.
Things have come to this point, the outline of the answer is already before us, and Chi Xia doesn't want to know the answer anymore.
Chi Xia stood up and turned to leave. Just as he turned around, Li Yiming suddenly asked, "If someone saved you from the abyss and wanted to push you into the abyss, would you hate them?"
Chi Xia turned around and looked at him, and was silent for a few breaths.
"My father adopted me with a purpose."
"Same as me." Li Yiming smiled.
Chi Xia shook his head: "They are different from you."
Li Yiming looked at her doubtfully.
