Chapter 0003: Daddy, go all the way
When I opened my eyes again, my mother, my sister, and the passenger's family members were no longer there, and the companion by the bed was a familiar face to me, that my brother Lin Zhen, who grew up wearing a pair of pants, valued affection, could fight, could do things, and dominated the third middle school with me, but after the third year of junior high school, I didn't mix, and began to concentrate on studying, after graduation, he didn't plan to go to school again, and was ready to step into the society in advance.
I asked, confused, "Ah Zhen, why are you here, Fluttershy and my mother?"
Lin Zhen replied, "I've gone to the funeral home." ”
"Take me!"
After finishing speaking, I sat up from the bed with a pout, lifted the quilt and jumped out, Lin Zhen followed without saying anything, ran to me and said to me, "I'm ready to get the car, let's fly." ”
Running downstairs, Lin Zhen got on the motorcycle, I jumped up, it was still pouring rain outside, he pressed the accelerator to the maximum, like a gust of wind through the rain, this rain is very cold, but it is also sober.
Looking at the backward scenery around me, the car stopped at the door of the funeral home in the eastern suburbs, I stood silently here, and I didn't have the courage to take the first step, Lin Zhen seemed to understand my mood at the moment, took out a cigarette, lit it for me, and lit it myself.
He patted me on the shoulder, neither of us spoke, just took a sip of cigarette, and finally I threw away the butt of the cigarette and took a step, some things, I have to face after all......
I stood in front of my father's body, and this time I stopped crying, I just wanted to look quietly, quietly, and carve this weathered face deeply, deeply into my mind.
My thoughts were like playing a movie, and the images related to this man flashed in my memory, when I was a child riding a small car and overturned, he didn't help me, just taught me where to fall and where to get up.
I was bullied by the older kids in the yard, I cried and found him hoping that he could be angry for me and help me fight back, he just taught me that someone else punched me once, and I returned him ten punches.
That winter, I was in pain in the middle of the night because I ate bad snacks, and he had a high fever of 39 degrees, so he got out of bed and took me to the hospital.
Every time I came home from vacation, he would open good wine, stir-fry good food, and we would talk to father and son, and he would never ask me about my studies, but only cared about whether I ate well, dressed well, and even joked if I had a girlfriend......
As these dusty memories came to mind, I realized how precious those ordinary daily lives were, and my father's body was about to be cremated.
Moments before entering the furnace, I fell to my knees, knocked my head three times, and made three vows that I would fight for in the rest of my life: "Dad, Zhuang Feng made three vows today, the first is to become a man who stands up to the sky, work hard to build his own business, support this family, and let Mom and Fluttershy live happily." ”
"Second, find a woman with a good character and a virtuous housekeeper to be with you for a lifetime, and third, if this matter is your responsibility, I will take the responsibility of my son, and the father will pay the debt to the son, if this matter is not your responsibility, I will definitely let those who harm you like this pay for the blood debt!!"
The stove was turned off, the fire was blazing, I stood up and walked to Lin Zhen, it was time to figure out what was going on.
It turned out that Lin Zhen had a cousin who worked at the police station, and when he heard about it, he was very worried and immediately inquired and rushed over, after I was knocked unconscious, Lin Zhen rushed to stop the person who wanted to continue the violence, Lin Zhen said very plainly, and I didn't show too much gratitude, because everything between me and Lin Zhen was silent.
Thinking of the question of responsibility for the accident, I asked Lin Zhen nervously: "Ah Zhen, you should have heard the cause of the accident." ”
At this moment, I clearly heard my heartbeat and breathing, for fear of hearing something bad, but Lin Zhen patted me on the shoulder and said gently: " Don't worry, Fengzi, my brother has told me the result, the slightly injured people unanimously said that the brakes on the bus failed, the driver stepped on the brakes and reminded the passengers to grab the handrail, and honked wildly, I also learned that the bus was originally an old car, it is said that the repair has been reported several times, the repairers are your father, so it is the responsibility of the bus company, your father is a good driver, he is an innocent victim, Fengzi!"
This voice is the greatest comfort to me at this moment, I breathed a sigh of relief, my eyes were red again, I looked at the sky outside and whispered: "Dad, I knew that you must be innocent, in this case, I will not let go of anyone who harms you like this......"
After dealing with my father's funeral, our family came to the scene of the report, because there were too many people who died, and it was a bus, so the county government had to come forward to issue an investigation report, and here it will be decided whether my father is a sinner or a victim.
When we arrived, the middle-aged woman pointed to us that day, and the angry family members rushed up, because maybe the investigation would prove my father's innocence, and they needed a point to vent their emotions and wanted to take the opportunity to release this emotion at us.
I instinctively stood in front of my mother and sister, ready to meet their trampling, but at this time more people stood in front of us, and the leader was Lin Zhen, who stood in front like a door god, although he didn't hold a stick in his hand, and he didn't say a word, but the meaning was obvious, if you want to do it, kill me first, this kind of momentum of being a husband and wife, even those who were carried away by anger did not consciously stop.
"I'll wait for the results to be announced, I'll see how you protect the murderer!" the middle-aged woman shouted viciously, in her eyes our family is no longer the family of the murderer, but the murderer, what a terrible logic, this is human beings.
While anxiously waiting, a group of people in suits and leather shoes with oily faces walked out with papers in their hands, assistants holding umbrellas behind them, and they took their seats and drank tea water before they began to speak unhurriedly.
"First of all, on behalf of the Qingyun County Government, I welcome the media from all walks of life to ...... such a serious and heavy occasion, and they can still take care of playing the official tone?
"That's enough!!We're going to hear the results!!The result that the driver is a murderer!!!" the middle-aged woman shouted, glancing viciously in my direction.
"Ahem, I announce the results of the investigation into the 615 bus fatal traffic accident, after our professionals have conducted a fair, open, comprehensive and thorough investigation, and finally came to an authoritative conclusion, the bus driver Zhuang Jianguo drove the license plate number XXX6 bus to Chenqiao Road when maliciously running the red light, resulting in a normal license plate number XXX concrete mixer truck crashed into the side of the bus, causing a tragic traffic accident, 31 passengers on the bus, a total of 19 people died, 7 people were seriously injured, the rest were slightly injured, the driver died after being sent to the hospital for rescue, all the responsibility for the incident was caused by the driver Zhuang Jianguo, the bus company and the Transportation Bureau, the construction party mixer truck is not at fault, the above is ......"
With his calm statement, my heart sank into the ice cellar, hehe, ridiculous, extremely ridiculous, why can it be so grandiose to distort the facts, so brazenly and calmly stated, so standard, unforgivable, unforgivable!!
I couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily: "Shut up!! The fact is that the bus is in disrepair and the brakes are out of order, and anyone who is alive can testify!!"
"That's the investigation of this accident," I protested...... did not interrupt his statement.
"Everyone who is alive can testify!!You are talking nonsense with your eyes open!!" At this moment, I could only shout like a repeater.
"This is the end of this press conference, and all other matters will be handled in accordance with normal legal procedures, please accept the facts and do not make unnecessary ......defenses," the spokesman said calmly as he sorted out the documents, but the last sentence was a naked mockery in the eyes.
Lin Zhen, who was in front of me, put down the phone in his hand, with frustration and unwillingness on his face, shook his head at me, and said weakly: "Witness, all changed their ......"
I was dumbfounded, completely dumbfounded, I finally knew what it meant to be sinister, what it meant to reverse right and wrong, I felt a huge stone pressing on my chest, I was breathless, looking at the official who was about to turn around and leave, I tried to remember, finally, I grabbed the last straw, I shouted hoarsely: "Monitor!!s!!
The official stopped, showed a disgusting smirk, and said something worthy of this sneer: "The monitor, unfortunately, broke ......"
