I stood by the window, lit a cigarette, and all this time kept weighing in my mind the feasibility of luring the snake out of the hole. In fact, it is very risky because it will involve the personal safety of some people. I don't have a good way to minimize that risk at the moment.

After a few moments, I snuffed out the cigarette in my hand and walked into the hospital room. I stood beside Gu Lin, but my eyes stayed on Wu Lei's body. I said to Gu Lin: "You say, if Wu Lei wakes up now, who is most afraid?" ”

My sudden question filled Gu Lin with surprise, she looked at me, and only asked me after a while, "What do you want to say to me?" ”

After I was silent for a while, I replied: "In the period after the fire in the piano shop, I had frequent contact with Wu Lei...... I remember him telling me that someone from above had pressured him to close the case with the results of the investigation into the accidental fire...... Also, if I'm not mistaken, he told me that someone had tempted him...... Although he didn't say anything more to me other than that, it was enough to prove that he might have some evidence of arson on his hands, otherwise the top wouldn't have put so much pressure on him...... I think all of this can constitute evidence for the whole case...... It's a pity that I was hit too hard at that time to be able to follow this direction...... For me at that time, if the piano store was really arson, I was able to protect myself, which was already a very fortunate thing. ”

Gu Lin looked at me, and then said: "Now that I think about it, the subsidence of the piano shop fire case seems to have been after Wu Lei's car accident...... However, after his car accident, I carefully investigated the driver's family and all the connections, and I determined that the accident was just an accident and could not be linked to the fire at the piano shop......"

I nodded and replied, "I also believe that Wu Lei's car accident was accidental, but it changed the direction of the whole incident...... I went to Shanghai shortly after, and everything in Nanjing, with my departure, quickly calmed down. ”

"Well, your choice back then may have been correct, you gave yourself time to cultivate and recuperate, and you didn't add any more senseless sacrifices...... However, there are two sides to everything, and while you protect yourself, it also increases the difficulty of overturning the case, because too much time has really passed! ”

My face was a little solemn, and after a period of silence, I said: "I also talked about this matter with Xiao Ai yesterday, and she said that she was basically sure that the fire case in the piano store was man-made, plus these corroborations left by Wu Lei...... Can we put aside the official results and characterize them as arson? ”

Gu Lin nodded, and then asked me, "What do you want to do?" ......" paused slightly, and she said: "The piano shop fire case is also a knot in my heart over the years, I always feel that this is a wish that Wu Lei has not been able to fulfill, but I am also ......powerless."

"Let's bet once, and we bet that there was really a lure relationship behind Wu Lei back then...... I want to spread the news that Wu Lei has woken up to the outside world after your wedding with Wu Lei...... If Wu Lei had indeed achieved results in the investigation back then, the suspects hidden behind him would definitely feel panic...... Therefore, in order to cover up the truth, it cannot be ruled out that there is still the possibility of committing a crime...... When his or her fox tail is revealed, it's time for us to overturn the case! ”

After I finished speaking, Gu Lin turned to look at Wu Lei, and after a long time, she said to me: "If he really woke up, how good it would be, not exist in our fantasies." ”

……

After another moment, Chen Yi also came to Wu Lei's ward, holding flowers in her left hand and a box of fruits in her right hand. She said to Gu Lin: "Officer Gu, it's been so many years, and it's the first time I've had the opportunity to come to see Wu Lei, I hope you will forgive me." ”

"I can't say that."

Chen Yi put the things down, and then asked softly, "How is Wu Lei?" ”

"It's always been like this, I can only wait for a miracle to be born."

Chen Yi looked regretful, and after a while, he sighed and replied: "As a woman, it is really not easy for you...... If it were someone else, it wouldn't last so many years...... If one day, Wu Lei really wakes up, it must be that you gave him hope to live, and the belief you gave him is really too important. ”

Gu Lin forced a smile, but the moment he looked at Wu Lei, his eyes were full of tenderness. Maybe, we all persuaded her like this, and she herself gradually believed that Wu Lei would wake up.

Chen Yi took Gu Lin's hand and whispered to her: "I was entrusted by Jiang Qiao to preside over your wedding with Wu Lei, so I may have to come to you often these days...... If you have any ideas, just let me know, I hope to have a perfect wedding for you...... Your wedding is much more than formal. For us, the inspiration is for a lifetime...... Because you did what we wanted to do but didn't dare to do...... In the end, you choose love over life! ”

……

When Chen Yi and I left the hospital, it was already 7 o'clock in the evening, but because it was summer, the sun had not yet completely set.

On the way to drive, we passed by a park, the chirping of birds and the lake dyed golden by the setting sun made us feel like we were in a fairy tale world, and those children running in the gentle breeze are the future princes and princesses, I also hope that the world after they take over, there will be no pain, no betrayal, no separation, and no lovesick wounds!

I slowed down the car, and then said to Chen Yi beside me: "Suddenly I want to go and see the Yangtze River, do you want to go together?" ”

Chen Yi looked at me with some surprise, and said to me for a while: "Do you believe it?" It's been almost four years since I've seen the Yangtze River and the Yangtze River Bridge, and I've just passed by every time. ”

"Me too."

Chen Yi smiled: "Then let's go......" As she said, she realized something, and said: "If you count the time, the last time I went to see the Yangtze River before, it should be the two of us together." ”

I nodded and replied, "I haven't been to see the ...... since."

This time, Chen Yi didn't answer my words, she chose to be silent. Because she knows that the Yangtze River, which crosses multiple cities, is an eternal pain in my heart. Back then, Zhao Chu and Zhao Mu's parents were here and sacrificed for life, so it was difficult for me to enjoy the scenery beyond the river with a calm heart.

But today I don't know why, I just want to check it out.

……

I parked my car next to a landscape strip under the second long bridge and followed the cobblestone path to the river. At this time, the scenery is just right, the whole river is sparkling, those boats that sail safely on the river, just like the embellishment of clothes, but also enjoy the benefits brought by the Yangtze River, after all, the cost of water transportation is much lower than 6.

I sat down on a rock, then lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then said to Chen Yi beside me with some self-deprecation: "Edamame always calls me the second bridge, and now I am sitting next to the second bridge of the Yangtze River, does it feel like two bridges are combined?" ”

Chen Yi smiled and replied, "You love nonsense." ”

I lowered my head and didn't speak for a long time. At this time, Chen Yi also sat down about fifty centimeters beside me. It's a delicate distance, a testament to the fact that we were once close and now we have to be aware of being separated.

When I was about to finish a cigarette, I opened my mouth again, and I asked Chen Yi: "In this world, is there such a person who can never be forgiven?" ”

Chen Yi replied with certainty: "Yes, it's like me to myself!" ”

I looked at her a little surprised, and after a moment asked, "You are not a heinous person, why do you say that you are an unforgivable person?" ”

Chen Yi was stunned, and a gust of wind blowing along the river instantly disrupted her length; The corners of her skirt were also blown to my side.

Only then did she reply: "It seems that saying this is a bit too much...... But sometimes, the direction of life is often just a thought. The so-called thought of becoming a demon is also reasonable......" After a slight pause, she added: "But this statement of becoming a demon does not apply to me, because even if I have many shortcomings in the dust of the world, I still have a bottom line in my heart...... I am willing to applaud those who insist on kindness, and hate those bastards who are dehumanized. ”

I clicked, and then, for some reason, I remembered a lot of people and a lot of things. Maybe it won't be long before my life changes again.

……

The sky gradually darkened, and the passing ships lit up one after another, and the surface of the river, which had just looked like a mirror, suddenly became like a black hole without a boundary, and the city and vehicles were reflected in the light waters on the river, which made people feel a little panicked.

I lit a cigarette again, then changed the subject and asked Chen Yi, "Do you have the contact information of the private detective who helped Qin Miao investigate Su Han last time?" ”

"What's wrong?"

I replied vaguely, "Something needs to be done?" ”

Chen Yi looked at me, and then said to me: "It's not easy to contact, because the private detective industry is not legal in our country, so he often changes his contact information and office location......" Speaking of this, Chen Yi's face became serious again, and she said to me again: "Is there something that can't be solved through the police, do you have to find a private detective?" ”

I gave Chen Yi a relaxed smile, and then said to her: "In a society governed by law, resolving social disputes through legal means is indeed the choice of rights protection. However, the procedure is more complex, the cost is also high, and the results are not necessarily good. If private detectives can provide more evidence and facts, they can not only serve the parties concerned and protect the legitimate interests of citizens, but also reduce the pressure on the public procuratorate and judicial organs to a large extent. What's more, private detectives are different from government behaviors, the government does not charge fees for serving citizens, while private detectives deal with social problems with commercial logic, so to some extent, private detectives may have a stronger willingness to serve and have better work efficiency......"

After a pause, I added, "From a market competition perspective, the rise of private detectives may also motivate the government to provide better services to the public." If we learn it properly, I think this industry can be completely legalized in our country, sooner or later...... Therefore, I am still willing to take such a way to defend my rights in these small disputes. ”

"You've talked to me so much, what are you trying to cover up?"

Of course, I didn't want to tell the truth about finding a detective, so I lied and said, "It's just that there is a little dispute between the hotel and the competitor, and evidence needs to be collected...... It's not too much of a deal. ”

Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said to me: "This kind of commercial dispute, it is indeed better to collect evidence privately...... Let me help you ask Qin Miao...... She often deals with this detective because sometimes she will find him, just like you, to help with business activism. ”

"What kind of rights protection...... It's intrigue! ”

As soon as I complained like this, the atmosphere instantly relaxed, and Chen Yi also completely relieved her doubts at this time, she took out her mobile phone from her pocket, and then called Qin Miao.

During the time she was on the phone with Qin Miao, I kept looking down at the river that was like a black hole below me, and I was a little frightened. Because while bravely pursuing the truth, it also means that humanity is at risk of being torn apart...... I don't want him to have anything to do with the fire at the piano shop.

If it was really confirmed that it was him, I would feel even more sorry for being buried in the Yangtze River, his parents...... My adoptive father and adoptive mother.

In the entanglement of self, Chen Yi put down the phone, she returned to my side, and then said to me: "Qin Miao and I are going to get his contact information." But only WeChat...... Here's the number, you add it. ”

As he spoke, Chen Yi handed the phone to me, and I sent a request to the private detective to add friends according to the WeChat number provided by Qin Miao......

The next moment, Chen Yi and I left the landscape belt under the Second Yangtze River Bridge, and after I dropped her off where she lived, I went to a teahouse on Tulip Road where business was very bleak.

Moments later, the private investigator with the WeChat name "Huohuo" accepted my friend request and sent me a question mark.

I got straight to the point and said to him, "I'm Qin Miao's friend, and you've worked with Qin Miao, so I think we can trust each other...... I am looking for you to ask you to follow up and investigate a person, and I want to know closely what kind of people he has come into contact with every day in addition to work in the next three months, and you will also provide me with information about these people he has come into contact with. ”

Huohuo quickly replied to the message: "Although this is a very untechnical thing, my fee will not be cheap...... If you are sure that you want to cooperate with me, make an advance payment of 100,000 yuan first. ”

"No problem, you provide an account number, and I'll transfer it to you now."

Soon, Huohuo came to an account, and I also transferred 100,000 yuan to him as soon as possible, and determined that after the end of three months, I would pay another 180,000 yuan for the service.

After doing that, he asked me to give him the information and photos of the subject of the investigation.

After I smoked two cigarettes in a row, I finally gave him Zhao Mu's personal information on WeChat...... And the next moment, I felt a heartache, I didn't expect that there would be such a day between us.

I had a strong hunch. If the arson case was really committed by Li Zishan, Zhao Mu would not be able to get rid of it, because in the past two years, the relationship between him and Li Zishan has become closer and closer, and there is even an improper relationship between men and women!
