Whether it was out of defense for everyone, or he never had the courage to admit that he killed Shi Jingming, Xiang Hui did not tell Fei Qingya the truth of the matter. He didn't have the courage to admit his feelings for Ansu, but as they said at the police station, he was just a witness.

Yes, he's just a witness, always a witness. This is what Tu Yunxi told him, and he remembered it firmly. He had succeeded in forgetting many details of what happened that day, but now those qiē that he had deliberately forgotten had clearly returned to his memory.

That day, the two of them looked at Shi Jingming in a panic and closed their eyes with a smile. He froze in place, staring blankly. Tu Yunxi boldly stepped forward and squatted down, putting his hand on Shi Jingming's nose. When his hand approached, he retracted violently as if it had been burned with coals, and said tremblingly, "He...... He...... Die...... Finish. ”

The two of them had never seen brawls and bloody scenes during the days when they followed the fourth child, and they had never been so panicked. Maybe a brawl and a death are two different things, or maybe the knife was inserted into the chest of his classmate, no matter what the reason is, the two teenagers couldn't help but tremble at this moment.

Xiang Hui sat on the ground and looked at Shi Jingming lying there in disbelief.

What did he do?

Xiang Hui hugged his head and pulled his hair violently.

After a while, he heard the sound of a cloth tearing, and when he looked up, he saw Tu Yunxi tearing a large piece from his clothes, and then ran to Shi Jingming's side, wiped the fingerprints off the handle of the knife, and then pulled out the knife and threw it aside. Xiang Hui watched him calmly do that series of movements, without a trace of panic. After doing this, he came to Xiang Hui, put his hands on his shoulders, and said seriously: "Ah Hui, listen, Shi Jingming was killed by me, and it has nothing to do with you." You remember! ”

Although the weather was cold, the two of them were already drenched in cold sweat, and after listening to Tu Yunxi's words, Xiang Hui shook his head blankly. Sweat flowed down his forehead into Tu Yunxi's eyes, he wiped it fiercely, held his face, and said word by word: "I killed the person, it has nothing to do with you." Anyone asks, you answer that. Remember? ”

Xiang Hui looked at him distractedly, without any reaction.

Tu Yunxi shook him violently and shouted, "Remember? Remember? Remember? ”

Xiang Hui's tears fell and he nodded.

Tu Yunxi raised his hand to wipe his sweat secretly, and dragged Xiang Hui away from the scene.

When he returned home and faced his mother's interrogation, Xiang Hui couldn't help but cry and repeated Tu Yunxi's words to his mother. However, who Zou Mingfang is, he quickly discovered the flaw, and asked Xiang Hui to confess it in three clicks and two clicks.

After listening to her son's story, she slapped her hard. This is the first time she has done it to her son, and she can't help crying, what kind of son did she have? But soon, she calmed down again. The priority was to keep her son, and she couldn't send him to jail, which was her instinctive reaction as a mother. She immediately thought of what her son had just said that Tu Yunxi taught him. In this way, it can be judged that Tu Yunxi voluntarily took on a qiē for Xiang Hui. She immediately called her husband, who had just been transferred to the province, to call home. She didn't dare to say more on the phone, and said that there was a 100,000 urgent event in her family. Let him be back soon. Then, he called Tu Yunxi again and asked him to come to his house immediately.

Tu Yunxi, who returned home, panicked and kept walking around the house, thinking about whether to pack up his things and run away or turn himself in. At this moment, he urgently needs someone to come up with ideas for him. After receiving a call from Zou Mingfang, he almost didn't want to go out.

Xiang Peihong rushed home in the afternoon, and after listening to what happened, he was so angry that he took off his shoes and slapped his son a few times. If it weren't for his wife to stop him, he really wanted to beat this rebel to death. When the son was beaten, the fire was also released, and like his wife, the first thing he thought about was how to keep his son. After all, after a few years in officialdom, he considered the problem carefully, and he found Peng Dongjun and Ge Yuhong together. Peng Dongjun and Ge Yuhong didn't expect to die, and they were so frightened that they didn't know what to do.

First of all, because the perpetrator is a minor, he will definitely not be sentenced to death. What can I do to avoid penalty? That's the key. Xiang Peihong thought about it for a long time, and only justified defense. But the three boys were present, and they said that legitimate defense could not be concealed. In the end, we can only take advantage of the loopholes of the law. That is excessive defense, so that although you will be sentenced, you will not be sentenced too severely. And he can get the güò connections and reduce the punishment as much as possible. Tu Yunxi was the first to propose support for this construction, and the others hesitated.

Regarding Tu Yunxi's initiative to confess and let them commit perjury, Peng Dongjun had no objection, but Ge Yuhong remained silent. Her attitude is crucial, if she is unwilling to testify, then Xiang Hui is bound to go to jail. At this time, Ge Yuhong had calmed down, and she looked at the two parents in front of her with a cold heart, why were they willing to sacrifice other people's sons to protect their own sons? She likes Xiang Hui without pretense, but it is really difficult for her to make this decision to sacrifice her good friends to protect her beloved. She looked at Tu Yunxi, and Tu Yunxi also looked at her, and finally saw him nod his head to her gently, just like in the 1500-meter race at the school sports meeting. His nod convinced her. If this is a decision made by Yunxi, she supports it. can not only fulfill Yunxi, but also protect Xiang Hui, she seems to have no reason to disagree.

Xiang Hui has become a puppeteer, he doesn't have any way of thinking at all, no matter what the people around him say or do, he can't listen to it. All he could think of was the image of Shi Jingming lying on the ground with a smile, and that smile was not only not weird, but had a sense of compassion.

There is also a key figure, and that is Ansule. After discussing with his wife, Xiang Peihong invited Liu Hui over alone. They knew that Liu Hui was an understanding person and knew the seriousness of the matter, so they decided not to hide it from her. Besides, you need her cooperation, and you can't hide it from her.

Although Liu Hui, who was taking care of her daughter in the hospital, didn't know what was going on, Zou Mingfang came to the hospital to find her in person, so she naturally understood that it would not be a trivial matter. Although she was not at ease, she still left her daughter in the hospital and hurried to Xiang's house. Liu Hui was speechless for a long time when she heard the news of Jingming's death, but quickly calmed down again. This is about her daughter, what is she going to do about it? Faced with the proposal to Peihong and his wife, she quickly accepted. Her thoughts are very simple, and she also wants to protect her daughter and not let her be involved. Therefore, on the same day, she obeyed Xiang Peihong's arrangement and transferred her daughter to a big hospital in G City. She knew she had to do it for both her daughter and her stepdaughter. Otherwise, Ge Yuhong shielded Xiang Hui, and the law will also investigate it.

In this way, Tu Yunxi took the initiative to surrender to the police station, and Xiang Hui became a witness.

Although Xiang Hui also objected to his parents' approach, he succumbed to the arrangement in the midst of his parents' fierce voices. Xiang Peihong was just transferred to the province, and when his career was in full swing, he couldn't have a murderer's son. This was the first thing Xiang Hui thought of. But as parents, the first thing they think of is to protect their sons.

Seeing his friend go to jail for him and not speak out, whether it was because of cowardice or something else, Xiang Hui himself still hasn't figured it out to this day. Maybe he never thought about figuring it out in his heart.

So what? It is impossible to change the fact that it has been decided.

He just had to remember what Yunxi said, he was just a witness. But when others say you're a witness, are you just a witness? He still remembers that before the case was closed, he was sent to another place by his father. During that year, he was afraid to go out. As soon as he went out, it seemed that the pedestrians on the road pointed at him and scolded him as a "murderer". He was afraid to sleep, and when he closed his eyes, the day played out like a movie. He was afraid to dream because it always ended with him standing in the courtroom and the sound of gunshots. He didn't dare to go anywhere but to school. For the first six months, he was terrified to even go to school, for fear that the police car would whine into the schoolyard. Sometimes, even the sight of the traffic police can't help but be afraid.

During the years when Tu Yunxi was in prison, he never visited, and he had no face to go. I only heard sporadic news about him from Peng Dongjun, such as: in the first year, he cleaned up the cell boss and became the eldest brother himself; The following year, his sentence was reduced by one year for his third year in prison for his good performance......

He will always remember that after coming out of the police station, Ge Yuhong glanced at him and left without looking back. Her eyes were so determined.

After many years, recalling it, he no longer has the fear he had back then, but the guilt is as deep as day by day.

Fei Qingya couldn't understand, "Then it doesn't mean that you killed Shi Jingming?" ”

Xiang Hui laughed miserably, "Why don't you count, we all have a share in killing him." ”

Seeing his classmates die and his good friend in prison, Fei Qingya can't imagine how big the impact on a teenager's heart is. She could only understand Xiang Hui's pain as guilt. If he had stopped it in time, the tragedy might not have happened. But this qiē happened too suddenly, can a teenager control it? But when she thought about it, she quickly realized the problem.

An Su likes Shi Jingming, Shi Jingming likes Ge Yuhong, and Tu Yunxi also likes Ge Yuhong, so Tu Yunxi killed Shi Jingming by mistake because of jealousy. This has nothing to do with Xiang Hui! He was just an eyewitness, so why was he in pain? Why do you feel guilty about Ansule? Unless there is another hidden story in this case, or Xiang Hui has another relationship with An Su.

Faced with Fei Qingya's question, Xiang Hui was silent for a long time.

Such silence frightened Fei Qingya. But as time went on, the more timid she had with which her conjectures were confirmed. If Xiang Hui and An Su do have another relationship, then what role does he play in this case? The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she began to regret her questioning.

"I used to love her."

Hearing this, Fei Qingya lost the fear she had been a few seconds ago. People's inner torment is often in the process of waiting for the answer, and after knowing the answer, they are relieved. Is this the so-called "what you have come, what you have done" mentality?

Who has not loved before? But Xiang Hui's current cousin is just once loved? It's not terrible to have loved once, it's terrible to feel guilty all the time. Will guilt revive lost feelings? She wasn't sure about that. Just looking at Xiang Hui's appearance in the days when Ansu had an accident, it is really worrying.

It's true that she loves Xiang Hui, but she is also a realistic woman. In her emotional world, there is absolutely no tolerance for a third person. It should be said that no woman can tolerate it, but some women will compromise, but she Fei Qingya will definitely not. This woman, who decided a few days ago to "not think about the past, but only look at the future", began to hesitate. If she was just a ten-year-old girl, she might not care about love, but now she is a mature woman. She is emotional, but more rational. Although love may not be able to subvert her world, her current Qiē is built by her hands and feet. In the eyes of everyone, the success of the career is not an accidental success, nor does it depend on the parents, it all depends on the hard work of their own hands, and the hard work can not be seen by outsiders.

Xiang Hui said: "You don't have to guess anymore, I can't get rid of what happened back then." ”

In fact, this sentence was what scared Fei Qingya the most, although she didn't know how much Xiang Hui had to do with that incident, but her intuition was enough to affect the relationship between the two. She remembered her mother's urging her to get married, and learned from her mother that Xiang Hui's parents were also urging the two to get married as soon as possible. Xiang Hui didn't say a word about this matter, I'm afraid it has a lot to do with An Su. Whether the relationship is love or shame, she can't accept it. What a sad and terrible thing it is to think of someone who has spent her life with another woman in mind. She never allowed herself to get into a deplorable situation. However, although it is clear that cutting through the mess quickly is the best solution, once you invest in the emotion and cut it off, your heart will still hurt.

"Qingya, I'm a sinner, but I'm not worthy of you!"

This was the last thing Xiang Hui said to Fei Qingya before leaving.
