The 554th round of the group rises up and attacks
At night, in the only bar in the small town of Nahante.
Welby, the owner of the advertising agency, was now on a billiard cue, staggering.
Dwarf James lies on the billiard table, expertly hits the ball, and hole-in-one.
Dixon took a bottle of beer and drunkenly walked up to Welby, and he angrily shouted at Welby: "It's all because of you, if it weren't for your TM's instigation of Yu Jing to do this......"
Welby retorted, "I'm not inciting anything, Dixon. ”
Dixon clung to Welby and growled, "You know, I've always disliked you, Welby. Ever since you were a runny little kid, I didn't like you. Why do you still look like a runny little kid now? ”
Welby sneered and replied, "Unfortunately, I've always thought you're okay. ”
With that, he dodged the drunken Dixon and stepped aside.
Dixon was still staring at him and asked loudly, "Sheriff Peng is a good man." He only has one month left to live, so why do you bother him with such a thing?!"
Welby asked, somewhat surprised, "What are you talking about, what last month?"
Dixon looked at him and replied, "You don't know? Yes, Sheriff Peng was found to have pancreatic cancer." ”
Welby listened, and suddenly didn't know what to say, he regretted it a little, but he didn't know how to solve it.
Yu Jing suddenly stood in front of the billiard table, stared at the two men, and said indifferently: "I'll play in the next round." You're like an old lady, always rambling. ”
Both Dixon and Welby were startled by Yu Jing's indifferent eyes.
The two men quickly left the bar separately.
……
The night was dark, and it was pitch black, covering the whole town.
Yu Jing walked back to the house, opened the door and entered the house, and said to her son, "Hey, Robin......? Father Montgomery?"
Only then did she discover that her son, Robin, was sitting at a table in her dining room with the only priest in town.
Yu Jing instantly guessed the priest's intention, but she didn't say anything, and after putting the key away, she walked towards the two.
Father Montgomery saw Yu Jing coming back, and said with a smile: "Yu Jing, I'm sorry to disturb you so late, but I must say that Robin is really a hospitable host. But he just told me that he didn't have a good time studying today. ”
Yu Jing immediately looked at her son, and Robin hurriedly explained: "It's not a big deal, it's just that some people in the team are talking nonsense." ”
Yu Jing leaned against the wall and asked coldly, "What nonsense are they talking about?"
The priest took over and said, "It's about those billboards!" Yu Jing, I came here today to talk to you about this. ”
Yu Jing sat on the edge of the dining table and said indifferently: "You say, I'll listen." ”
The priest persuaded with compassion: "Yu Jing, I know that you are very painful in your heart. The past few years have been painful for everyone. If you need any help, we're here to help. But the people in the town also know what kind of person Sheriff Peng Yichen is, and the people in the town don't approve of the billboards you made. ”
Yu Jing stared closely into the priest's eyes and asked, "You said that everyone in the town disapproves of my behavior? Have you investigated, Priest?"
The priest nodded confidently and said, "You know, Yu Jing, if you come to the church often, you will know that most of the people in the town have a deep affection for each other. A lot of people come to me every Sunday. So, I did look into it. Everybody's behind you about finding out who hurt Angela, but no one is behind you for making these billboards. ”
Yu Jing was silent for a moment, took a sip of beer, as if telling a long-ago story, and said slowly, indifferently:
"Father, do you know what I'm thinking right now? I'm thinking about the gangs on the streets of Los Angeles.
I remember it was around 1980 that the government enacted a lot of laws to crack down on gangs on the streets of New York.
If I remember correctly, in these laws, if you join any street gang, you are a grasshopper on a rope with them. If one night you are walking down the street and you don't know anything, and your accomplice stabs someone or breaks the law. Even if you don't know anything, even if you're just walking, these laws will convict you.
Just because you're part of a gang, you're guilty. ”
As Yu Jing's story slowly deepened, the priest at the table was completely frightened by the momentum on this woman's body.
Yu Jing approached the priest and continued in a low voice that was almost roaring:
"Father, I'm inspired by the gang affair in New York. It's not like as long as there is a priest in the church and the boys play a game. Then all your priests will not be clean.
You see, you have a uniform uniform, you have a unified venue for the church, and you're like, how to put it better, it's like a gang.
If you are reading the Bible devotionally in church, but your accomplices are playing with their children-in-waiting. Then Father, like the gang members on the streets of New York, you are also guilty because you joined this gang!
I don't care if you've done it, seen it, or even heard that bullshit, you're guilty of joining this gang.
Now that you have become a criminal because of your accomplices. Then you have lost the right to come to my house, to stand on the moral high ground, to talk to me about my life, my daughter, and my billboards. So, Mr. Priest, why don't you finish your tea and get out of my kitchen right away!"
After Yu Jing finished speaking, she went back to her room.
Father Montgomery, having completely lost the ability to speak, could only stand up and stumble away from Yu Jing's house.
……
Peng Yichen sits in the town's only hospital, where his attending physician is injecting him with chemotherapy drugs to suppress the cancer cells in his body and devour him completely.
The doctor looked at his painful face and couldn't help asking, "How are you feeling, Peng?"
Peng Yichen endured the pain caused by chemotherapy and replied with a smile: "It's like all the organs in my body have cancer." ”
The doctor smiled slightly, and then said seriously: "Okay, I just want you to know that we are all on your side in Yu Jingyu's affairs."
When Peng Yichen heard this, a kind of anger suddenly surged up in his heart.
He's not angry with the doctor, he's not angry with the quiet, he's angry with God.
Why can't he solve this case, why didn't God give him time to let that innocent girl get her wrongs.
He wants to know too much why, but the world just doesn't give him answers.
Peng Yichen angrily pulled out the needle on his arm and shouted at the doctor: "If I don't want to hear anyone talk about this anymore......
After Peng Yichen finished speaking, he snatched the needle and threw it on the wall, the blood in the reflux syringe in his veins splashed on the white wall, like a blooming rose.
Then, he held down his bleeding arm and said to the attending physician: "My TM is dead, I can't waste my life here anymore!"
After saying that, he angrily walked out of the hospital and drove back to the police station.
