Chapter 43: Testimony (4)
The anti-altitude sickness medicine prepared by Xia Bizhu was not used, but the dim sum had already been eaten by Ansu before it arrived in Lhasa. An Su only sighed that Bizhu had prepared too little for her. They stayed in Tibetan areas for more than 10 days, collecting wind during the day and working at their desks at night. Because the mobile phone signal is good and bad, Ansu basically uses the Internet to communicate with colleagues in the studio at night.
They went to large and small temples, turned the prayer cylinders countless times, followed the Tibetans in front of the temple and kowtowed. Yes, I was fortunate enough to receive the empowerment of the Living Buddha. Xia Bizhu is a materialist, but she silently accompanies An Su to do everything.
Ansu said, "I pray to meet him again in the next life. ”
Xia Bizhu said: "If there is really an afterlife, I pray to be the sister of the morning dew in the next life, to be your sister." ”
Whether there is really reincarnation and future lives, they don't know, but they hope that there is, give themselves a hope.
They also went to sacred mountains, sacred lakes, grasslands, and many other places. Ansu liked thangkas very much, collected several thangkas, and bought a bunch of embroideries that she thought were useful, but Xia Bizhu didn't buy anything, not even small souvenirs. Every day, she lived to the fullest and happier. Xia Bizhu also had a lot of fun, but every night when An Su was at work, she would look at her attentively.
Several times Ansu found Bizhu looking at herself intently, and she always smiled and said, "Haven't you seen what I look like at work? ”
Xia Bizhu always smiled and didn't say anything.
When they came back, they did not fly directly to G City, but chose to return from Chengdu, and went to Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong by the way, and stayed in Chengdu and Chongqing for a few days. By the time they returned to City G, it had been more than 20 days later.
When they arrived in G City, it was already early in the morning, and He Xiangnuan went to pick up people at the airport. On the way back to the city, He Xiangnuan told An Su Xianghui that he was arrested on suspicion of killing Tu Yunxi. But he didn't know that on the night of the crime, Xiang Hui was with her. An Su remembered that Ge Yuhong told her that Tu Yunxi died of an overdose of injecting drugs. What does this have to do with Xiang Hui? What she didn't know was that the case happened on the night Xiang Hui went to her house. Although she was puzzled, she did not say a word, but listened quietly. Xia Bizhu listened to the news, and even looked out the window bored.
This night, Xia Bizhu slept at Ansu's house. By the time the two of them finished washing and went to bed, it was already three o'clock.
In the past 20 days, I have been going out to play during the day and working overtime at night, although it is a trip, but it is actually not easy. When I get home, I can finally get a good night's sleep. If they weren't woken up by the doorbell, they would have slept until lunchtime.
The next morning, Ansu was woken up by a string of doorbells. It's ten o'clock, and it's time to get up.
When I opened the door, I saw a strange middle-aged woman standing in the doorway.
Zou Mingfang first introduced herself: "Ansu, hello! I am Xiang Hui's mother, Zou Mingfang. ”
Zou Mingfang's visit surprised Ansu. At this time, she should be busy saving her son, how could she find herself? Although Ansu has let go of her hatred, she doesn't have a good impression of this person. I don't understand why she came to her. Although she was reluctant, the other party was an elder after all, and out of politeness, she still invited her into the house.
Seeing her sick face, Ansu poured her a glass of water and waited for her to speak. If it was to ask the teacher for sin, she would not hesitate to kick her out.
Zou Mingfang took the cup, thanked him and asked, "May I ask, did Xiang Hui go to your house at night when he returned to his hometown last month?" ”
An Su sneered in his heart, sure enough, it was for this. Although I wanted to sarcastically say a few words to her, there was no need to rub salt in the wounds of my worried mother at this time. "Beating the Reservoir Dogs" has never been her style. But in order to dissociate herself from Xiang Hui, she said coldly: "That's right, it was your son who broke into my house in the middle of the night to disturb the people. ”
Zou Mingfang didn't care about her tone, and then asked, "Then do you remember what time he arrived at your house?" ”
An Su said impatiently: "I don't remember. I stayed with your son all night, but don't worry, nothing happened to us. ”
In the face of her impatience, Zou Mingfang breathed a sigh of relief. Although An Su said that she didn't remember the time, she admitted that she stayed with Xiang Hui for one night, so she could also testify for Xiang Hui. As long as she wants!
Zou Mingfang softened his tone: "I'm not here to question you, in fact, I'm here today to ask you, so please think about it." ”
Ansu looked at her inexplicably. Suddenly, a thought flashed through me. Could it be that Tu Yunxi was killed that night, so Xiang Hui was involved in this case?
Zou Mingfang said: "Do you remember what time Xiang Hui arrived at your house that night? Human life is at stake, please think about it! ”
Ansu seriously recalled what happened that night, remembering that his mobile phone was turned on at that time, and the screen showed half past eleven. She replied, "Half past eleven, probably a little earlier." ”
Zou Mingfang excitedly confirmed with her: "Are you sure? ”
Ansu nodded: "I was asleep at the time, and it was raining heavily outside, and he called the door for a while before I heard it." ”
Zou Mingfang asked again: "Then do you remember when he left?" ”
An Su shook his head: "I don't know the specific time, it should be after dawn." She thought for a moment and added, "We had a fight that day, and after the argument, we chatted for a long time, and then we fell asleep after talking. But nothing really happened to us. Of course she didn't dare to tell her mother, she arrested and beat her son. Otherwise, it's no wonder that people's mothers don't work hard with her.
Zou Mingfang nodded and pleaded, "Then can you please testify for Xiang Hui?" ”
Ansu understood. Tu Yunxi was indeed killed that night, but what testimony could she give to Xiang Hui?
Zou Mingfang told her that the night Xiang Hui went to her house, Tu Yunxi was killed. Xiang Hui had seen him before this, so he was suspected of killing Tu Yunxi.
An Su thought about it, Xiang Hui did tell her that night that he had seen Tu Yunxi before coming, and he was injured by Tu Yunxi. Although she thought it was unlikely, she couldn't rule out that Xiang Hui would kill Tu Yunxi before going to her house.
Zou Mingfang said: "Tu Yunxi's time of death was between twelve and two o'clock in the morning, and you just said that Xiang Hui arrived at your house at half past eleven and left at dawn. Then only you can prove that Xiang Hui was with you at your home at the time of the crime. He didn't kill Tu Yunxi. ”
An Su thought, everything in this world is really strange. Can you explain it in terms of simple cause and effect? So what exactly is a cause? What is Fruit? She had cursed him to go to hell, but now that he was going to hell, she asked her to reach out and save him. Isn't all this ridiculous? She really never dreamed that there would be such a day.
Seeing that An Su was silent, Zou Mingfang thought she was unwilling, and begged: "Only you can save Xiang Hui, I beg you!" As long as you are willing to save him, whatever you want me to do, I will agree. ”
An Su sneered in his heart when he heard this, his own son's life is life, and the life of other people's sons is not life? But how can she, who is not a mother, understand that this is also a mother's instinct to protect her son. She asked lightly, "What about your life?" ”
Zou Mingfang was obviously stunned for a moment, his face immediately became extremely serious, and he replied without hesitation: "No problem!" ”
An Su suddenly understood her mother's use of death to prevent her from overturning the case for Jingming. Probably every mother will be so desperate when she sees her child in distress. Thinking of this, she smiled and sighed, "What is the use of my life." ”
Zou Mingfang saw An Su smile, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, although she guessed that she was probably willing to testify, she still asked uncertainly: "Did you promise to testify for Xiang Hui?" ”
An Su never thought of not testifying for Xiang Hui. Since I don't hate him, I don't want to see him die in vain. It's just that although she forgave him, she didn't want to entangle with him anymore. She thought for a moment and said, "I can testify for him, but I have one condition. ”
You can't even want your life for the sake of your son, not to mention it's just a condition. Zou Mingfang immediately nodded: "You say." ”
"I hope Xiang Hui never comes to me again. I'm sure you don't want him to get tangled up with me. ”
Zou Mingfang nodded solemnly in agreement. That's what she's happy to see. It's just that what her dead-eyed son will do, she has to figure out a way.
"Although I promised to testify, the police didn't believe me, so I couldn't vouch."
Zou Mingfang nodded understandingly, showed his son's first smile since he was arrested, and thanked him repeatedly.
Ansu said: "I'll go to the criminal police team tomorrow. ”
Zou Mingfang nodded: "Then I'll pick you up tomorrow." ”
An Su shook his head: "No, you give me the address, and I'll go over by myself tomorrow." You wait for me over there. ”
Zou Mingfang left with a thousand thanks.
As soon as Zou Mingfang left with his front foot, He Xiangnuan came with his back foot. Seeing Xiang Nuan coming over with a bag of snacks, An Su smiled and shouted Xia Bizhu to the room. Xia Bizhu, who was in the room, had actually woken up, and she had heard the conversation between An Su and Zou Mingfang just now.
After the two finished grooming, they sat in the living room and ate snacks.
Xia Bizhu asked An Su: "Do you really want to testify for Xiang Hui?" ”
An Su asked rhetorically, "Didn't you hear that?" ”
Xia Bizhu didn't understand: "Didn't you keep watching him die before?" This is the best chance to fend for himself. ”
He Xiangnuan, who had been staying quietly on the side, objected to her statement: "That's not what he said, although he is guilty, he is not guilty to death." It's a life. ”
Xia Bizhu sneered: "His life is life, and other people's lives are not life." Murder pays for life, and it is justified. ”
He Xiangnuan's face sank rarely, and he was about to speak, but was interrupted by An Su.
"Well, you don't have to talk about it. Whether he is guilty or not, let the law judge, we can't make trouble for him. ”
They were both silent. Until Xia Bizhu left, the two didn't say a word.
Before leaving, Xia Bizhu asked An Su again: "You really decided to testify for Xiang Hui?" ”
Ansu nodded.
Xia Bizhu's face showed a disappointed expression. After a moment, she asked again, "Have you forgotten how Jingming died?" Don't you hate him anymore? ”
An Su was silent for a moment, sighed and said, "No matter how much you hate it, my little monk will not come back." Doing so should be a blessing, hoping that God will have mercy on me and let me get what I want. ”
Xia Bizhu didn't say anything anymore, just nodded lightly and dragged her suitcase away.
He Xiangnuan looked at the back of her leaving, picked up the car keys and followed out. (To be continued.) )
