Chapter 146: The Hunter's Trap
Lu Xi handed me a bag of Wen Jiàn, and then said, "Yifan asked me to hand it over to you." ”
I took the bag, Lu Xi took a sip of coffee, and then looked at me and asked, "Why did he let me hand it over to you, is there something wrong between you?"
I shook my head, I thought, he didn't come to send me a bag of Wen Jiàn himself, it should be Lin Yan who told him everything.
"He must be too busy. I said.
Lu Xi didn't think so, obviously didn't believe my answer, but she didn't dig any further, and when she saw that I opened the Wen Jiàn bag, she changed her tone and said: "What is in the Wen Jiàn bag is the recent capital record of the driver who caused the accident, as you can see, there is no problem." ”
"You mean, he didn't take instigation?" I asked.
"There is no evidence that he was murdered with intent at this time. Lu Xi sighed, and then said: "The crime of hit-and-run is far less serious than the crime of intentional homicide, and he will never admit the facts of the crime without evidence." ”
"However, Ru Qin admitted to me that she deliberately found someone to kill my mother, so it is impossible that there is no trace left, right?" I asked, grabbing Lu Xi's arm.
"Don't get excited, Yifan has been trying his best to investigate. Lu Xi patted the back of my hand comfortingly and comforted me, and then said: "It's just that the driver who caused the accident found a lawyer, and he admitted the fact that he had hit and run, and his attitude of admitting guilt was also very good, saying that he was willing to bear all the responsibility." ”
I was stunned.
"The cabin that kidnapped you last time was the same, when Yifan looked for it, the cabin had been burned down, and there was no trace left at the scene, and the village not far from the cabin also went to inquire. The villagers said that a child accidentally burned it when he was playing with fire there. Lu Xi said again.
"What about the little one?" I asked hurriedly.
"The child is a deaf and dumb child in the village, illiterate and unable to read or speak sign language, and cannot communicate at all. The local police station also fined the family some money. ”
I shook my head: "It can't be that coincidental!"
"Why is it that a deaf kid set a fire? Those people would drive to the town to eat, someone has seen that car, right? What about the surveillance? Isn't there surveillance along the way?"
Lu Xi bit his lower lip, sighed again and said: "No, so far, we don't even know what kind of car they are driving, there are occasional strange vehicles passing by after the road is repaired, there is no way to find out, and it is very likely that they are driving a black car." Finding it doesn't prove anything. ”
"Then that's all there is to it?" I smiled bitterly, Ru Qin was right, I couldn't do anything.
"Although there is no evidence, the hospital has your medical report, as long as you can find those people, there will always be a way. Lu Xi comforted me and said.
"I know a name. Thinking of that person, my stomach churned again, and I looked at Lu Xi. said slowly: "Shan Wei, it seems that that person still has a criminal record." Ru Qin mentioned it. ”
"Let's start with this person, but Xiao Chao, conviction and sentencing are not based on confession, there is no evidence, and just relying on your testimony, you can't be guilty at all. Xiao Chao, you remember, you must calm down, even if you find evidence in the future, if you can't bring down Ru Qin. That's useless, if those people under her hand take the crime themselves, and insist that it has nothing to do with Ru Qin, it won't help, you know?"
"Don't worry, I can bear it, I will definitely be able to bear it. I gritted my teeth and replied, looking at Lu Xi's worried gaze, I smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about me, I'm fine, and I believe that the wind will leave traces, it is impossible to have no evidence!"
Lu Xi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, she picked up the coffee in front of her and took a sip.
Tang Xiayi came over with two cheesecakes, he handed the mousse to me and Lu Xi, smiled at me and said, "Treat you." ”
"So good?" Lu Xi smiled and picked up the fork in the plate, forked a small piece and put it in his mouth, then squinted his eyes in enjoyment, and praised Tang Xiayi's hospitality.
"You don't look good. Tang Xiayi sat down opposite me, next to Lu Xi, and said.
"Really?" I touched my face unconsciously, then smiled indifferently and said, "You too, it doesn't look good." ”
Tang Xiayi smiled, and then said with a worried face: "What about Lin Ke, is she okay?"
"Didn't she contact you? I haven't heard from her. "The main thing is to avoid Lin Yue.
"No ......" sighed, he looked at me and said, "You are free, go and help me see her, you enlighten her more, she is dead." ”
"If you're so worried about her, why don't you go to her yourself. Lu Xi interjected.
Tang Xiayi smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said, "It's impossible for him to let me see her." ”
I looked at Tang Xiayi and couldn't help but ask him, "That...... What about your intentions? Have you figured it out? What kind of feelings do you have for Lin Ke? Why did you let her fall in love with you when you knew her relationship with Lin Yue?"
When Tang Xiayi heard this, she raised her face to look at me, and then said in a calm tone: "I didn't know that she would fall in love with me, to be honest, I thought about it, but I couldn't bear to push her away, you also saw it, she has changed from a paranoid and autistic daughter to an optimistic little girl, from living in a wheelchair to now walking around on crutches, I don't have time to think about it, her world has changed dramatically......"
"I watched her change little by little,...... Tang Xiayi's face showed a look of pride, paused, and said: "Looking at her happy and innocent appearance, I even forgot that I was once a dirty bad person." Tang Xiayi smiled and said: "Being by her side will make me feel that I am needed, and this feeling I have only experienced in Long Shuyi." ”
This should be a feeling of sympathy extending out, right? Did Zhang Xingchen start with sympathy for Chu Mingmin, or for me?
"So, have you figured out your mind now?" I asked.
Lu Xi was concentrating on eating the cheesecake, looking very comfortable, as if he hadn't listened to the heavy conversation between me and Tang Xiayi.
Tang Xiayi smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"You know what? Lin Ke just likes you simply, what she wants is your love, the love that is equal to her. She doesn't need a savior, it is her brave heart and faith for love that can save her, not you. My eyes were sour, and I thought of Zhang Xingchen again for no reason, "I can save her." It's the love she has for you in her heart, it's not you, she's in love with anyone, she can change if she wants to, you know?"
Tang Xiayi stared at me intently, and then smiled: "Are you too?"
"It's not Zhang Xingchen who changed you, but your love for Zhang Xingchen that changed you?" Tang Xiayi asked.
I groaned for a moment. sighed and said: "I haven't changed, I'm not as brave as Lin Ke, after so many years, I'm still so cowardly, shallow, selfish, and still that coward." ”
After coming out of Tang Xiayi's coffee shop, Lu Xi and I separated. She said that she had something to do and wanted to go back to the office, and said that she would send me home first. I refused, took a taxi myself, and planned to go to Lin Ke.
Standing under the wall of her house, I remembered the wall covered with dead vines, and at that time, Lin Yue asked me to come to see Lin Ke, but I obviously refused. At the moment, he sent it to the door.
Lin Ke's mobile phone was turned off, I rang the doorbell, and waited outside the door nervously, thinking that Lin Yue should go to the company, but I was still afraid of running into him.
See Lin Yue. I can't help but feel some contempt for myself in my heart, I don't understand the world, I don't understand the races that live in this world, I don't even want to give them warmth, I'm just a clown.
Even more than these, some of the cruel facts that suffocated me more will appear in my mind, and at the end of the picture, there will be subtitles: Blame yourself.
is unwilling to face Lin Yue, or is unwilling to face his own stupidity, and chooses to forgive Lin Yue, or just indulges himself to forgive his ignorance at the beginning...... As I thought about it, I felt like I was having trouble breathing.
I shook my head, saw that there was no sound in the video, and rang the doorbell a few more times.
"Who?" said an unfamiliar voice.
"Who are you?" I asked alarmedly.
"I'm the babysitter of this house, who are you looking for?" replied the voice inside.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Is Chairman Lin at home?"
"Chairman Lin?" the other party pondered for a moment, and then replied, "No." ”
I finally let go of my hanging heart, and when I heard her say let me come back another day, I quickly said, "I'm sorry, I'm here to find Lin Ke!"
"Second Miss, she doesn't see guests, you can go. She gave the order to evict the guest.
"Please help me sue her, just say that Lu Xiaochao is looking for her, if she still doesn't see, I'll just leave again." I said patiently.
“…… Well, then you wait. ”
After a while, the door opened.
I thought about Lin Ke in my heart, thinking that I should leave before Lin Yue got off work, and my steps became hurried.
The nanny opened the door for me, I changed my slippers, followed her into the living room, and asked as I walked, "Is Lin Ke in her room?"
"Lin Ke, are you okay?" I heard footsteps in the living room, and I immediately walked past the nanny.
But the person standing in the living room made me stunned, and he smiled and beckoned to me: "I haven't seen you for a few days, you have lost weight again, why don't you eat every day? Zhang Xingchen, does he care about you?"
I turned around and asked the nanny, "Didn't you say that Chairman Lin wasn't at home?"
The nanny looked innocent, "I thought you were asking Chairman Lin Xuanlin." ”
I rolled my eyes, ignored Lin Yue, and said to the caregiver with a smile: "Please take me to Lin Ke's room, thank you." ”
"But ......," the nanny glanced at Lin Yue.
Lin Yue walked over to me with a playful smile, "Lin Ke is not a guest, who she wants to see, she must get my consent." ”
I glared at Lin Yue, feeling that my anger was about to burn the hair on the top of my head.
"Lin Ke is your sister, she has her own freedom, why are you putting her under house arrest?" I yelled.
Lin Yue said noncommittally: "This is an extraordinary time, as long as the alarm is lifted, I will definitely not interfere with my second sister in the slightest." ”
"You're a tyrant, why are you? When do you think the alarm will be lifted? Wait until Tang Xiayi dies of old age? Or wait for the day when your second sister has gray hair?"
Lin Yue laughed out loud: "You overestimate the shelf life of love, do you think my second sister will always like that Tang Xiayi?"
"Your sister told me that it is a lifetime for her to fall in love with someone. I glared at Lin Yue and said.
Lin Yue sneered, then stared straight at me for a while before speaking: "What about you?
"It's none of your business. ”
I looked around, Lin Ke's room should be on the first floor, I have been to the direction of the bathroom, on the other side is the kitchen and living room, and the remaining door should be Lin Ke's room.
With that in mind, I walked straight to the room.
Lin Yue didn't stop me, just walked after me.
"Are you still afraid that I will bring Tang Xiayi secretly. I muttered to myself, then opened the door and walked in.
The furnishings in the room are very simple, the color and layout are also, not like a girl's room, there is no one in the room, and the quilt on the bed is also neatly spread.
I turned around and was about to go out, but I saw Lin Yue also enter the room, he came in, and locked the door of the room. (To be continued......)
