Chapter 153: Changing Lives
Zhou's mother hugged the photo of her son, tears fell down in strings, her expression was dull, and she kept muttering: "Jing, Jing, why did you leave your mother behind, why are you so ruthless...... My Jing, what can you do for the rest of your mother's life? ”
The Zhou family is the most ordinary peasant family in the northwest countryside, and they live on the little income in the fields every year. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the people in the village were broken, saying that the two of them were purely crazy, and the son was more squeamish than the daughter, and he studied at home all day long.
Their village is far from the city, poor and isolated, family planning is not strictly controlled, and every family has two or three or more babies. Zhou's mother injured her body when she gave birth to Zhou Jing, and she was destined to have only such a son in this life. Zhou Jing was not in good health when he was a child, he was sick at both ends in three days, and he was not as strong as other people's girls, Zhou's father was so worried, Zhou's mother, who was strong by nature, made a decision at that time, smashed the pot and sold iron, and let her son study, and in the future, he would be admitted to university, become a big official, and earn money while sitting in the office.
Zhou's father worked in the county, and he was very envious of those city people who could earn money by sitting comfortably in the office with an iron rice bowl.
He pondered that this method was feasible, so he tried his best to start reading for his son, although he didn't know how to read two baskets, and it was not ambiguous at all to supervise Zhou Jing's reading and homework. And Zhou Jing is also very competitive, since he went to school and studied, he has not taken the second place, and the teachers praised him again and again. lived up to expectations, Zhou Jing was admitted to the key universities in the imperial capital all the way, and became a golden phoenix flying out of the mountain nest.
The people in the village who were originally not optimistic about Zhou Jing began to say sour things again, why Zhou Jing became a city man in the future, and then married a city daughter-in-law, maybe he forgot Zhou Lao and his wife to the edge of the sky. Some people say that it is not certain how much it will cost to study in the imperial capital, and how much famine will be caused by the Zhou Laosan family in the future. Some people say that what happens if they are admitted to university, and now college students can't find a job......
However, the slap in the face came too quickly, and after Zhou Jing went to college, not only did he not ask his family for a penny, but also sent money to his family, and he even carried large bags and small bags to his home during the Chinese New Year. can envy those who say sour things, Zhou's mother has a straight waist, and she is very proud, "What if some people give birth to ten or eight, it is better to have one Wu Cuihua than me." ”
The only son, the son who pinned his life's hopes and pride, happily talked on the phone the day before, saying that he would send money to the family to turn over the house and change his father's new motorcycle after the summer vacation, and suddenly left.
How can Wu Cuihua accept it?
At that time, when she received a call from the police, Wu Cuihua only felt that the sky had fallen, and she could not accept the bad news until she saw her son's crushed and tattered corpse with her own eyes, Wu Cuihua rolled her eyes and passed out.
A few days have passed, Wu Cuihua still can't accept this fact, she always feels that Zhou Jing has not left, her son is by her side, Wu Cuihua is either holding Zhou Jing's photo every day to wash her face with tears, or talking to the air nervously.
Wu Cuihua is crazy.
Father Zhou is an honest man, if it weren't for Zhou Jing's death, the farthest place he would have gone in his life would be the county seat. When Zhou Jing called him a few days ago, he also said that when he saved some money next semester, he would buy them train tickets and pick them up to come to the imperial capital to have a good time. Later, when he saved more money, he bought them plane tickets so that they could also feel the taste of flying. He trained his son in his mouth to tell him not to spend money indiscriminately, but his heart was beautiful.
The words are still in their ears, they did not wait for their son to buy them train tickets and plane tickets, but when they waited, it was their son's cold corpse.
Father Zhou has been poor for most of his life, he doesn't care how much money the person who crushed his son to pay, he just wants that person to pay for his son's life!
But the police told him that the man who crushed his son had run away, and there was no clue at all.
Did his son die in vain? Do the police really have no clues? It must be a lie, doesn't it say on TV that the current criminal investigation technology is very developed, and the unsolved cases more than ten years ago can be solved, why is there no clue to his son? The imperial capital is full of rich people, and there are officials everywhere, maybe someone is making trouble in the middle and shielding the person who killed his son......
Father Zhou felt that he was probably going crazy, he was like a lost dog, embarrassed and helpless squatting at the door of the police station, he was secretly ruthless in his heart, if the police didn't help him find out the murderer who killed his son, he would go to find it himself, anyway, he was bored alive, it was a big deal to put this old life in! Anyway, the man who killed his son must not be allowed to have a good time!
Just when Zhou's father's mood became more and more collapsed, and his thoughts became more and more negative and gloomy, an eyewitness finally stood up and reported the case.
The witness was a woman in her thirties, who had been working late that night, and had witnessed the accident on her way home, and she didn't see what had happened at first, but when she saw it, the sports car was rapidly falling backwards, running over the man who was lying in a pool of blood, and then back again, and finally running over the man and running away.
She was a little far away at the time, no one was around, no one noticed her, she subconsciously picked up her phone and took some pictures. The person who can afford to drive a sports car worth tens of millions is definitely not an ordinary person, she witnessed the other party killing people, and the witnesses were afraid that their lives would not be guaranteed, so they kept hiding in the shadows, until someone passed by and found Zhou Jing's body and called the police, she pretended to be nothing and walked out. When passing by the scene, she couldn't help but look at Zhou Jing's corpse, and then, she was awakened by nightmares every day, and she couldn't help but subconsciously pay attention to this unusual car accident.
In the process of this concern, she heard that there was a problem not only with the surveillance of the accident site that night, but also with the surveillance of several adjacent streets, and she could not find any information about the vehicle that caused the accident.
How is that possible?
Like Father Zhou, she couldn't help but have conspiracy theories.
If the other party knew that she witnessed almost the whole process and took pictures, would they let her go?
She is just an ordinary little white-collar worker who can't be ordinary anymore, she is almost thirty years old and has no home of her own, and it is estimated that it is easier for the other party to crush her than to crush an ant.
But every day when she walked through the intersection where the accident happened, and saw the photos of sometimes Zhou's mother and sometimes Zhou's father holding her son, begging witnesses to help them, she couldn't help but think, if she had an accident, would her parents beg passers-by for her like this?
The answer is no.
Her parents will only care about her younger brother, and they will only care about how much money she gives them during the New Year's holidays, and even if they come to beg, I'm afraid they are just running for compensation.
Maybe it was because she couldn't bear the pain and fear in her heart, or maybe it was because she was pitiful to Zhou's father and mother, she finally stood up and handed over the photos that she wanted to delete countless times but always couldn't do to the police station.
Because of the distance, the lights were dim, and the photos were a little blurry, but the police quickly traced the specific information of the vehicle that caused the accident based on these photos.
Tao Yuxin's illness was just better, and he was arrested by the police for intentional homicide.
There are all human and material evidence, and Tao Yuxin can't quibble at all. Tao Yuxin was originally a useless coward, after being arrested by the police, it happened to be a drug addiction, and he was uncomfortable, as soon as the police asked, he honestly confessed the matter, and just begged the police to give him something addictive.
Something so big happened, how could Tao Zhicheng not know? At this moment, Tao Mu was completely panicked, where else could she come up with any good way?
Tao Zhicheng only has a son like Tao Yuxin, even if Tao Yuxin is not angry, he can't really ignore him.
However, during this period of time, because of the company's accident, the relationship that he had bothered to manage before, he couldn't wait to clear up the relationship with him, Tao Yuxin's crime was not small, the human and material evidence were there, and he also confessed to the crimes he committed, who dared to wade into the troubled waters of the Tao family at this juncture
The lawyer gave Tao Zhicheng a trick and asked him to find a way to start with Zhou Jing's parents, satisfy them materially as much as possible, and strive to obtain the family's understanding so that he could be relieved. Also, if you can, it's a good idea to ask the witnesses to say something in their favor.
Things have come to this point, and the method said by the lawyer is a good way, but both Zhou Jing's parents and witnesses are the main ones who do not enter the oil and salt.
No matter how high the chips Tao Zhicheng offered, Zhou Jing's parents wanted Tao Yuxin to pay for their son's life. Witnesses didn't know what was going on, no matter how much they coerced and lured, and even promised a lot of money for her parents to come forward, she still insisted on not letting go.
Seeing that there was no room for maneuver in the matter, Tao Mu finally couldn't help but dial the familiar number again.
"Big brother, you must help Yuxin this time no matter what, I only have such a son, I can't watch him die." Whether it is Lu Tao or Zhou Jing, in the eyes of Tao's mother, probably only her son's life is fate.
There was a silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and an unusually old and hoarse voice came: "...... This is the last time. ”
"Good, good!" Tao Mu cried with joy.
"You come out, at nine o'clock in the evening, we will meet at the old place."
"Good!"
Tao Mu's heart that had been hanging was put down for most of it.
She didn't notice that the shadow behind her swayed slightly, and slipped behind the curtain as if it had grown its own legs.
