Chapter 246 Will Be Sad
Chi Xia took a deep breath and said, "To my dad, I am indeed a very good research sample, but he has never hurt me. He has given me a shelter, fed me, clothed me, and educated me, and I even live better than ordinary people. His research on me is out of kindness and understanding. In essence, you two have nothing in common."
"no!"
Li Yiming stood up: "Do you know why they died? Because your existence has threatened them! For their own sake, they chose to sacrifice you!"
Chi Xia felt her heart skip a beat and there was a loud bang in her ears. For a few seconds, she could not hear any sound.
"It's good to leave some things where they are." Li Yiming sat back down: "Hate what should be hated, love what should be loved, isn't that good?"
Chi Xia heard what he said after she returned to normal.
"I have no right to hate them."
She told Li Yiming: "If it weren't for me, they would still be alive and well. The threats and harm they suffered were caused by me, so I should bear the consequences."
"Do you really think so?"
Li Yiming shook his head: "Chi Xia, if people have feelings, they can't just take it lightly. It's because of what you've been through that the warmth they gave you was enough to make you grateful, so you found a suitable excuse for them in such a short time. In the final analysis, they didn't treat you as their daughter, and you didn't treat them as your parents."
Chi Xia frowned.
Li Yiming continued, "A real family will hate each other because of hurting each other, but will be touched by occasional care, torture each other and resent each other. A real family will be resentful because of betrayal, and will be painful because of loss, instead of accepting it all so calmly like you do."
"Acceptance is inevitable." Chi Xia turned around: "I don't need to be sad in front of you even if I'm sad."
"Chi Xia!" Seeing her leave, Li Yiming shouted, "I'm sorry."
Chi Xia didn't even turn her head. As soon as she went out, someone came in and took Li Yiming away.
When Xiao Fang saw her coming out, he immediately came forward and said, "Officer Xiao Chi, how is it?"
"Warden Xiao, I need your help with something. The detention center released a man named Xiao Zheng three days ago. I want to know about his situation."
"This..." Xiao Fang was a little embarrassed, but still said: "Okay, wait for me for a while, I'll go find someone."
Chi Xia returned to the reception room. The paper cups on the table were empty and there was a faint smell of coffee in the air.
She sat down, feeling depressed and uncomfortable.
As Li Yiming said, if there is affection, it is impossible to accept the truth lightly the moment you know it.
After waiting for a long time, Xiao Fang came back.
Chi Xia left the detention center with him, and on the way she told her, "This Xiao Zheng was sent here three months ago. It seems that he was involved in a theft and murder case, but now the evidence chain is not conclusive, and the police can't produce any new evidence, so they have no choice but to release him. In particular, this Xiao Zheng is a bit crazy, and the detention center even did a mental evaluation on him."
"What is the result of the appraisal?"
"Moderate mental damage."
Xiao Fang said: "I was not allowed to bring out the specific materials, but I have read the evidence chain and it is clear that Xiao Zheng is not a murder suspect. It is very likely that the person was killed when he entered the place, but the time he entered was too coincidental, and he admitted to the murder when he was caught."
After Xiao Fang finished speaking, he asked, "Officer Xiao Chi, is this Xiao Zheng related to the case you are investigating?"
"It's not clear at the moment." Chi Xia wanted to continue chatting with him, but Xiao Fang received a call.
Xiao Fang hung up the phone and said to Chi Xia very embarrassedly: "Officer Chi, I'm really sorry, there is something going on at the prison, so I... "
"It's okay, go ahead."
Chi Xia thanked him again and said, "If there is any progress in Tu Guoan's case, I will also let you know. You helped me today, and I will also cover for you. Tu Guoan's suicide in prison should not have any major twists and turns. No matter what the final result is, the prison will not be in trouble."
Xiao Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and spoke to her in a more familiar manner: "It would have been great if that brat Luo Xun had told me this earlier. He made me live in fear every day even after the matter was settled!"
Chi Xia smiled and said, "Now you don't have to worry."
When Xiao Fang left, he felt refreshed.
As soon as he left, Chi Xia took a deep breath and looked up at the sun .
A few months ago, around this time, she went to see Tu Guoan.
Their conversation didn't give her any clues, and she looked up at the sky when she came out.
The weather has obviously gotten cooler, but the sun today is much scorching than that day.
She felt a little uncomfortable, with a headache, nausea, and stomachache. It seemed that she had all the symptoms, and yet it seemed that she had no symptoms at all. She only knew that an uncomfortable feeling was flowing through her body.
She looked around and saw a simple convenience store across the empty street.
Chi Xia walked over with a dazed mind and bought a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.
"Girls shouldn't smoke, it's bad for your health." The old lady selling cigarettes didn't seem to like her very much, and her face looked sour when she spoke.
Chi Xia looked at her and said, "Why? Don't all men smoke?"
"He was smoked to death."
The old lady waved her hand and staggered to sit on the bamboo chair inside. Her bony hands rested on both sides of the worn bamboo chair: "They are all smoked out. They are all dead."
Chi Xia was removing the plastic from the cigarette box as she walked towards the car, but the plastic seemed to be against her and she couldn't tear it apart no matter how hard she tried. She became inexplicably angry.
Even the cigarette box bullied her.
Thinking of what the old lady had just said, she took a few deep breaths, finally put the box of cigarettes in her pocket and got in the car.
When I was leaning back in my chair with my eyes closed, Luo Xun called.
She picked up the phone and heard Luo Xun say, "Lao Xiao said you were in a bad mood, so I called to comfort you."
Chi Xia pulled the corner of his mouth, lowered the back of his chair, and curled up: "Li Yiming said that my parents were threatened before they were killed, and it might have something to do with me. They chose to give up on me at that time."
Luo Xun was silent for a few breaths: "There's no need for him to lie to you, right?"
Chi Xia choked up a bit and hummed in a muffled voice: "He said that the reason he felt guilty towards me was because he realized that no one in this world loved me."
“Nonsense.”
Luo Xun quickly said, "Your senior sister, Su He, Gui Lai, Qiu Lao, Qu Bai, me, Shi Tianyi, Ge Jingyi, Hei Zi, so many people love you and like you without any utilitarianism. How could you believe what he said?"
"I don't believe it." Chi Xia said, "I understand people's instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. There is no need for them to sacrifice their lives for me."
"What makes you even more sad is that they made their choice but still couldn't escape death, right?" Luo Xun's voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't slept all night.
Chi Xia hummed again: "Compared to giving up emotionally..."
She paused here and sighed, "Forget it. I don't want to lie to myself. Although I can understand, I am really sad. But I also feel that they have given me love without reservation. I don't even have the right to hate them."
"Love and hurt are not contradictory." Luo Xun said: "You can hate them briefly and love them for a long time."
“I know they are just ordinary people after all.”
There was a little room for breathing in the heavy heart: "In front of some forces, they may not have any choice."
"Open the storage compartment in your car." Luo Xun said... "You and your parents are both victims. Just remember this."
Chi Xia opened it puzzledly and saw it was full of candy.
"Don't smoke, eat candy." Luo Xun's voice came again.
Chi Xia laughed: "Have you seen what I gave you?"
"I have seen it." Luo Xun said, "Did you give it to the provincial department?"
"Given it, I'm waiting for news."
Chi Xia suppressed his emotions and told him about Xiao Zheng's situation.
Luo Xun listened and said, "Don't you think this is a bit too coincidental?"
"yes."
Chi Xia said: "So I think that the whole series of events, including accidentally entering the scene of the burglary, admitting to the murder and being arrested, and finally undergoing a mental evaluation, were all planned by Xiao Zheng. He also faked his mental problems. As for his purpose, I think it was to avoid being hunted down by Lao K."
"If that's the case, it will be difficult for us to find his whereabouts." Luo Xun said solemnly: "Unless he takes the initiative to contact his superiors."
Chi Xia was silent, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"You can eat sugar, but eat less." Luo Xun reminded her again: "I will be back as soon as possible, just bear with it for now."
Chi Xia smiled and said, "I'll try my best to bear it."
Lin Wenjue's voice came from the other end of the phone, and Chi Xia asked again: "Where are you?"
"The Tu family's old house."
Chi Xia suddenly thought of what Li Yiming said at an inappropriate time. The crux of the problem lies precisely with Luo Xun and his master.
She wanted to ask Luo Xun something but didn't know what to ask specifically, so she opened her mouth and just said, "Okay, I'll hang up first."
Yu Ji, Luo Xun hung up the phone and looked at Lin Wenjue: "What's wrong?"
"The body was found."
Lin Wenjue's face was heavy: "More than one."
