Chapter 76 How to Live
If it was just a simple fire, what private matter was Chi Xia investigating? Why did she go to the prison to see Tu Guoan, who happened to be the murderer of her neighbor's family?
Besides, when Chi Xia’s adoptive parents got into trouble, Chi Xia had just graduated. Why is she now joining the task force as an intern?
Where was she and what was she doing during these five years? How true was her statement of taking a leave of absence?
As for the information that Chang Youwei gave him, Luo Xun knew at a glance that it contained too many things.
The most important thing is what Li Yiming said to him at the end.
The words Li Yiming said in the interrogation room were almost like grabbing his ears and shouting at him, "Chi Xia, this woman, has many secrets. Go check her out! If you don't check her out, you don't deserve to be a policeman!"
Did Lin Yushan and Yang Shujun really die in the fire? Luo Xun didn't believe it.
Also, what was Chi Xia like before she was adopted? Has she looked for her biological parents in these years? None of this was revealed in the information that Mr. Ba gave him.
Luo Xun was thinking this and unknowingly arrived at the police station. Chi Xia's voice called him, "Captain Luo, good morning."
Luo Xun looked up and found that he had arrived at the office door. Chi Xia was holding a broom and dustpan in his hands.
"Why are you here so early?" Luo Xun walked in: "Are you sweeping the floor?"
"Just scan it casually." Chi Xia put the things in his hand back to where they were: "Captain Luo, is Xu Yang still in the police station?"
"Yeah." Luo Xun sat on the chair: "It's been left alone all night, let him empty his mind. I'll go check it out later. Do you want to come with me?"
"I won't go." Chi Xia got a glass of water: "I'm going to find Director Chang."
"What do you want to see him for?" Luo Xun looked over.
In the morning light, Chi Xia smiled at him: "Private matter."
Luo Xun snorted and suddenly asked her, "Chi Xia, your visit to the prison to see Tu Guoan, is it related to your parents?"
Chi Xia looked at him, his eyes suddenly turned colder: "Captain Luo, check me."
"You clearly know I will check, why are you still pretending here?" Luo Xun said nonchalantly: "I didn't find much, so I asked you."
Chi Xia stood up: "It doesn't matter much."
She walked past Luo Xun's table and heard Luo Xun say, "Really? I don't believe it."
Chi Xia gave up and said, "Believe it or not."
Luo Xun was silent for a long while, then suddenly jumped up from his chair and looked at the door in disbelief. Was that woman just giving up? She didn't even pretend? Why was she so arrogant?
When Luo Xun chased out, Chi Xia had disappeared, and he instead threw himself into Lin Wenjue's arms.
"What are you doing? Why don't you look at people when you walk?"
Lin Wenjue rubbed his shoulders and said, "It just so happens that Xu Yang has confessed everything. Just like what we inferred , he is not even a supporting character. We can only let him go now."
Luo Xun collected his thoughts and suppressed the matter of Chi Xia in his mind. He straightened his mind and said, "Since Li Yiming has decided to help him, he will not let the illegal side touch this child. It's a pity that no matter how clean it looks on the surface, this child's hands are still stained with blood."
Lin Wenjue had a serious expression, even with a hint of worry: "Luo Xun, if a child like this returns to society, do you think he will still be a pure child?"
No, he had seen human nature long before other boys of his age, and even witnessed . What kind of seeds were planted in his heart, whether good or evil, no one knew except the child himself.
"Let's take it one step at a time." Luo Xun sighed: "Is he still in the interrogation room? I'll go check."
Lin Wenjue was feeling a little depressed, and went to make himself some tea with a bitter face: "He should still be there, you can still see him if you go over now."
Luo Xun went to find Xu Yang. He had stayed in the police station for a night. He looked tired. When he saw Luo Xun, his eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed again.
"What will happen to Brother Yiming?" he asked Luo Xun: "Will he be sentenced to death? Can I see him?"
"What will happen to him depends on the judgment of the law. As for whether you can see him, you may be able to see him after he is sentenced, but the prerequisite is whether he wants to see you."
Luo Xun finished speaking and waved his hand: "I'll take you out."
The two of them were speechless until they left the building. Luo Xun asked him, "Xu Yang, do you regret it? Do you regret everything you have done?"
When his eyes first came into contact with the sunlight, Xu Yang squinted his eyes and blocked the light with his arms: "No regrets."
"are you sure?"
Luo Xun stopped and hid him in the shadows: "From now on, your life will always be followed by a stain. This stain is not on paper, not in your file, but in your heart all the time. No matter what, you can't deny that you hold a life in your hands. She is bad, but also innocent, and your hands should not be stained with these."
After his eyes adjusted to the light, Xu Yang put down his arms, stepped back, and walked out of the shadow blocked by Luo Xun into the sunlight.
The sun shone on him, and the boy smiled and asked Luo Xun: "Innocent? Captain Luo, what do you think is evil in this world? What is good?"
Luo Xun remained silent, his dark eyes fixed on the young man in front of him. He clearly saw that the child was in the sunshine, but he felt that he had already stepped into the boundless cool river.
His eyes were calm and solemn.
Xu Yang spoke.
He said, "Evil is ignorance, selfishness, nobleness, and arrogance. I have failed to protect my mother. I at least want to know who harmed her. Brother Luo, you are so sensible, so rational and restrained. Can you also protect the people you care about? If you can't even protect the people you care about, what qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson?"
"Xu Yang."
Luo Xun walked over, raised his hand, and covered Xu Yang's eyes with his palm, feeling his eyelashes brushing against his palm gently: "There are thousands of ways to live in this world, don't take the most difficult one."
There was a drop of burning tear in his palm, and the boy's Adam's apple moved slightly, but he said nothing.
"The road to success is right before you."
Luo Xun used a little force to wipe Xu Yang's eyes with his palm. The tear melted into his palm. He looked into the boy's eyes and said, "Don't let yourself down."
Xu Yang looked at him. He tried to see through the man in front of him just as Li Yiming saw through him, but unfortunately, he only saw unfathomable depth in his eyes.
Don't let others see what's in your eyes.
This is what Li Yiming said when he first met him. That day, he almost couldn't control his anger and pounced on Liang Ruqing. It was Li Yiming's hand that reached out from behind him and covered his eyes like the man in front of him.
"Don't let others see what's in your eyes." He once said in his ear.
Xu Yang looked up at the sky. The dazzling light made him squint his eyes, and his pupils hurt slightly.
"Go back." Luo Xun waved his hand: "Take good care of grandma."
He walked out of the police station, crossed the bustling traffic, walked through the crisscrossing traffic lights, and returned to the noisy and lively market, passing by Li Yiming's closed greenhouse.
He pushed open the door of the bun shop, looked in the direction of the police station, and suddenly revealed a sinister and cold smile.
His father's name is Liu Jinming, his name is Liu Zitao; his mother's name is Xu Cuixiang, his name is Xu Yang.
There are some evils in this world that cannot be restrained.
