CHAPTER XXIV
Nian thought that since that day, Su Jinshi would not come to her, and in the past few days, Su Jinshi has indeed looked for her in the future, and the family next door still sends things to him, but they are all sent by the Zhao family.
After not seeing him for a few days, Nian Su was a little unaccustomed to it at first, and then he got used to it, but a sense of loss in his heart has been lingering.
Now, Su Jinshi came to her, holding a string of sugar gourds and speaking in a low voice.
"When I saw this today, I thought you might not have eaten it, so I bought a bunch of them, and if you don't want to eat them, give them to the beans." Su Jinshi's tone was a little cautious.
When Nian Su heard this, her heart softened, she took the sugar gourd in her hand, and said: "I know that Nian Qiang has a problem, but I don't want to admit it, since I was a child, I have always been reluctant to admit that Nian Qiang is different from other children, even if he has never called me sister, I treat him as my only brother." ”
Nian Su's confession made Su Jinshi stunned, and then she gently hugged Nian Su and comforted: "Now you still have Xiaodouzi, you still have me, you are not alone." ”
Nian Su didn't speak, leaned on Su Jinshi's shoulder, and pinched the sugar gourd very tightly.
"Su Jinshi, if you find that your life is dark, and you can't even see a glimmer of light, how can you keep yourself going?"
Nian Su's voice was very soft, as if it was drifting with the wind from a long distance, Su Jinshi didn't want to answer this question, she also had a dark time in her life, she didn't want to recall that time.
Nian Su didn't speak when he saw Su Jinshi, so he said: "My method is to lie to myself, weave a lie for myself, and tell myself that it is all good." ”
Su Jinshi's heart twitched fiercely, and she suddenly understood why Nian Su was like that before.
It turned out that she had punctured all the lies she had worked so hard to weave.
"Susu." This is the first time she has called her that, but she unexpectedly said, "Your life has changed, you are no longer the young man in that village, now you are Xiaodouzi's mother, you are my friend, and your life will no longer be dark." ”
"The past will dissipate into the years, and all you have left is the present and the future."
**
Coming out of Nian Su's house, Su Jinshi's mood was a little heavy, she didn't know if she understood what she said, she was like her previous self, which made her want to help her escape from the whirlpool that stumbled her.
After returning home, Su Jinshi saw that Su Huaijin was already at home, and he didn't care about the previous matter, so he went directly to him.
When the two came to Su Jinshi's room, Su Huaijin's smile was a little meaningless, but Su Jinshi didn't want to investigate whether he had seen through his identity, so he went straight to the road:
"I don't know how your investigation is, I want to tell you that Gu Shengyun knows Nian Qiang."
Su Huaijin didn't show a surprised expression, raised his eyebrows and said, "How did you know?" ”
When Su Jinshi saw him like this, he also understood that he had already investigated this matter, but he had been silent, and he had not been depressed recently, and he was not very close to that Gu Shengyun.
"Today, my mother asked me to go to the street to buy rouge, and I bumped into Gu Shengyun to buy sugar gourds for Nian Qiang to eat." Su Jinshi observed Su Huaijin's expression while speaking, and saw that he was not half surprised, so he knew that he had also seen it.
"I've seen it many times at this time, are you suspecting that Gu Shengyun is the man in black now?" The corners of Su Huaijin's mouth raised slightly, and a playful smile appeared.
Su Jinshi saw him like this, and felt a little angry in her heart, she is a straightforward person, she has never liked others to say half to her, and asked her to analyze it with an unclear expression, so she studied psychology, but she couldn't be a psychiatrist.
"The man in black must be a cautious person, Nian Su once said that she had seen Nian Qiang meet that person, that person had been wearing a mask, unknown, but now Gu Shengyun is standing in front of Nian Qiang with his truest identity, which is too ostentatious." Su Jinshi slowly analyzed.
Su Huaijin nodded and said, "What you said is very likely, I also hope that Gu Shengyun has nothing to do with this matter, but after these few days of investigation, I found that Gu Shengyun would buy sugar gourds for Nian Qiang to eat every day, but Nian Qiang never spoke, if the two did not know each other, such a move would be too strange." ”
"You know Gu Shengyun, tell me what kind of person he is?" Su Jinshi sat down.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that Gu Shengyun would have anything to do with this matter, on weekdays, he was gentle and polite in the academy, respected his teachers, and was fine with his classmates." Su Huaijin said with a frown.
His expression was a little incredulous, Su Jinshi also believed his words, she had read a report in the newspaper in modern times, that is, people with mental illness randomly selected people to kill people, but Gu Shengyun did not look like the kind of person with psychological defects.
If he had killed those people, she really couldn't find out what benefit he would get.
"Brother, do you know the situation in Gu Shengyun's family, I mean, the relationship between Gu Shengyun and his parents and other relatives." Su Jinshi asked.
Su Huaijin frowned, and thought for a while before saying, "I don't know about this, Gu Shengyun doesn't like others to mention his family, and others only think he is modest, and he hasn't asked more." ”
Su Jinshi nodded, and continued to ask, "Have you ever seen him injured?" ”
Su Huaijin was stunned for a moment, but his mind naturally remembered a winter a few years ago, "I remember one winter, he seemed to be injured, he used his right hand that day, he has been using his left hand, and his legs and feet are not very flexible, he was not in a good mood that day, some classmates talked to him, he was perfunctory, when I asked about his hands and legs, he only said that it was fine, and he accidentally fell and injured himself." ”
"I didn't believe him, but I didn't speak again, because I could feel that he was seriously injured, especially his hand, which was so bad that he couldn't hold the pen."
After listening to him, Su Jinshi fell silent, and after Su Huaijin finished speaking, he thought about it again, and said in disbelief: "Do you suspect that he was abused at home?" That's why you hate people who abuse their wives and children so much? ”
Su Jinshi thought to himself for a while, stroked his forehead and said: "This matter can't be concluded yet, Gu Shengyun's identity is not simple, it is not easy for us to investigate him, this case is full of suspicions, and we need to investigate it in depth." ”
"Why don't I go to the Gu Mansion tomorrow to have a look?" Su Huaijin said.
Su Jinshi was quiet for a few seconds, she looked at Su Huaijin quietly, and asked, "Are you suspicious of me about something?" ”
Her eyes are sharp, with a scrutinizing gaze, such Su Jinshi is unfamiliar, Su Huaijin has never seen her like this, in her impression, although his sister is out of the way, she is also an innocent girl, but in front of her, she is guarded, wise, and knows no less than him.
Su Huaijin's face sank, his several temptations had confused Su Jinshi, even so, his suspicion of her was getting heavier and heavier, he believed that the person in front of him was her sister, but he didn't understand why she had become another person in just one month.
"We are working together on a case, if we can't trust each other, you have something to hide from me, it is very bad for us, and now that this case has become a little clearer, I think we should talk about the relationship of trust between us."
Su Jinshi's voice was indifferent, not at all like he was talking to a relative, but like he was talking to a work partner.
Su Huaijin stared at her for a long time, the corners of her lips were hooked, but there was no smile in her eyes, "You are not my sister." ”
Su Jinshi shrugged and did not deny it, but Su Huaijin's eyes turned cold, and he analyzed: "My sister seems to have changed a person since a month ago, although her personality has not changed much, but she treats people a lot worse than before, I only have one question, where did my sister go." ”
"I'm ......" Su Jinshi paused, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, "I don't know where she went, maybe she has ...... like before I came here"
"Already dead."
"I'm sorry."
Hearing Su Jinshi say this, Su Huaijin was taken aback even if he had prepared before, he looked at the familiar face in front of him, but there was an unfamiliar smell.
Su Huaijin suddenly got up to leave, and when he walked to the door, his voice was cold, "Do you think I can trust you?" ”
