76. The author is too competent (6)
The man had a strange feeling for him this morning, and he had been restless all day.
Cheng Mu's hand speed in controlling the computer became faster and faster, and he was a little excited in his heart, and he no longer had the same calm and relaxed as before.
His eyes were fixed on the computer screen.
The results are coming out.
The tracking and positioning shows that this person is within 20 meters of him!
Cheng Mu's hand shook, and the mouse almost fell to the ground.
Within 20 meters...... It's him!
Cheng Mu calmed down, this person was by his side, and things were more interesting.
23:01。 Today's update has been posted?
When I clicked on the tee ball avatar, this message popped up.
After knowing that the author of "Someone Behind" was Cheng Mu, he really didn't ease up for a long time.
As soon as he posted today's latest chapter, he subconsciously glanced at the comments.
Cheng Mu was not there.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he sent a message......
Shi Yuan looked at this sentence and didn't know how to reply, he already knew Cheng Mu's identity, but Cheng Mu didn't know him.
He's going to pretend, yes, pretend he doesn't know.
23:03。 Well. You want...... Why? Is there anything wrong with this late hour?
Cheng Mu looked at this reply, imagining the man's expression, and suddenly smiled.
He didn't know why he was sending him a message, but he always felt a little flustered if he didn't talk to him.
Cheng Mu was thinking about how to reply to him, when he heard a deafening knock on the door outside, which made people inexplicably a little scared in this quiet night.
The knock was a little far away, it shouldn't have been knocking on his door, and there was no one he knew nearby, so no one would come looking for him at such a late hour.
He got up in a hurry, the chat window was still open, and he hadn't replied yet.
Shi Yuan listened to the sudden knock on the door outside, and immediately got up from the computer, otherwise he was afraid that he would wake up Shi Cheng for a while, and he would have class tomorrow.
Quickly opened the door, Shi Yuan saw a ten-year-old child looking at him with tears on his face, his snot was about to flow to his mouth, there was still a little blood on the left corner of his mouth, there was dust on his clothes, and his feet in small slippers were dirty.
Shi Yuan immediately squatted down and pulled him in front of him, and directly wiped his tears and snot with his hands.
"Tell your uncle, what's wrong with you."
The child was comforted and cried even more, as if he had finally found a harbor after being confused for a long time.
"I ...... Huh...... My dad drinks and spanks my mom and my mom cries ...... Woo......"
Shi Yuan's brows furrowed, he probably knew the situation, it was estimated that his mother asked the child to come to him.
"Would you like to take your uncle to your house?"
Shi Yuan couldn't change his clothes, so he went back to the house, took the key, locked the door, picked up the child and left.
"I'll go with you."
Shi Yuan's footsteps down the stairs paused, and when he turned around, he saw Cheng Mu who was dressed neatly shrouded in the corridor lights.
Without saying much, Shi Yuan nodded slightly and continued to walk.
The child pointed the way and led him down to the first floor and out of the building, and it seemed that his house was in another unit building.
Out of the building, the evening breeze blows in the face, Shi Yuan involuntarily shivered, more tightly protected the child in his arms, the spring breeze in March seems to be mixed with the slightest coldness of winter, the sky is not warm.
Suddenly, a trench coat was draped over his shoulders, and his body instantly became much more comfortable.
Shi Yuan's footsteps did not stop, but he subconsciously looked at the back of his body.
"Wear it, I'm fine."
As he spoke, he was about to free one hand to take off the clothes off his shoulders.
But the man didn't reply, he took two steps forward and took the child from his arms, and then strode forward.
Shi Yuan paused and took off his hand, and put it on his body after a second.
Buttoning the button as he walked, Shi Yuan looked up at the person in front of him who was braving the evening breeze and walked in the slightest, and his heart was very warm.
Why do you think that this wind is suddenly much weaker?
Shi Yuan shook his head and shook away the chaotic thoughts in his head, and strode to follow.
Finally, the child's finger was on the door on the right side of the fourth floor, struggling to get down.
Cheng Mu squatted down and let him down, and followed him in.
Because the door is not closed, you can still see the light leaking from the outside.
As soon as he entered and suddenly saw the situation inside, Cheng Mu immediately half-bent down and stretched out his hand to cover the eyes of the child in front of him, no matter how hard he struggled, he didn't move his hand.
Shi Yuanjian, who was unknown behind him, stopped and sensed that something was wrong, and walked from next to him to the front.
The next second, he covered his mouth violently, his eyes widening.
The blood on the ground was dazzling in the light, and a woman lay motionless in a pool of blood, her eyes wide open, her face fixed with a frightened expression.
“110。”
Cheng Mu's voice sounded in his ears, Shi Yuan came to his senses, and hurriedly rummaged on his body, but he came out in pajamas and didn't bring a mobile phone at all.
"I've got it in my trouser pocket, take it out."
Shi Yuan felt in the pockets on both sides of Cheng Mu, and after feeling the shape of the mobile phone, he stuffed his hand into it.
Three simple numbers, Shi Yuan was stunned to find it for a long time, and his hands were shaking when he clicked it.
Cheng Mu covered the child's eyes tightly with one hand, and patted Shi Yuan on the shoulder with one free hand.
Soon, the police came.
After the scene was cordoned off, a series of treatments such as taking pictures were carried out, and the woman was carried away.
Shi Yuan and Cheng Mu were questioned by the police about some information, but these were useless, they didn't see anything, and they didn't know anything about the situation at that time.
The child was temporarily left at Shi Yuan's house, and Shi Yuan choked up several times when the child asked where his mother was.
Early the next morning, news came from the police that the child's father had turned himself in.
Shi Yuan didn't have much feeling about this news, what if he turned himself in, the person was already dead.
He thought that even if this person turned himself in, he should let everyone know the true face of this kind of person, but he didn't expect that someone would tell him not to publicize this matter, for fear of causing panic among the residents.
Shi Yuan's heart was cold, what does this mean.
Do you want to let that woman, that mother die inexplicably like that!
However, the paper could not contain the fire after all, and the incident was finally exposed by the woman's family five days later.
They were angry, saddened and even hated because the police reported that the man had drunk and was delirious and that the woman had beaten and scratched him, so he had killed someone by mistake, and the doctor had determined that he might be suffering from acute transient mental disorder.
It's normal for that person to act like a dog when he doesn't drink, but now after killing someone, he says that he has a nervous disorder, which makes it hard for anyone to believe.
The families of the victims simply do not accept this argument and they just want a fair outcome.
Debts to pay off money, murder to pay for life.
During the trial, Shi Yuan and Cheng Mu also went to observe.
But as the defendants' lawyers became more and more defensive, it became clear that they had the upper hand. Maybe this murderer won't die, and he won't even be in prison for long.
In the auditorium, the victim's family members cried loudly, and Cheng Mu held Shi Yuan's arm tightly, because Shi Yuan's eyes were so red that he couldn't control his feelings.
Shi Yuan was really angry and sad, he wanted to stand up and ask the murderer, did he really feel no guilt! Is it really cold-blooded? It's a husband and wife, how can you do it!
Ten years of repair can be crossed in the same boat, and a hundred years of repair can be slept together. This rare fate ended up like this.
Shi Yuan closed his eyes and wanted to force himself to calm down, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he didn't know that the dirty clothes and the ashes on his feet after a few falls on the road that night when the child was wearing slippers, and even the little blood at the corner of his mouth was infinitely magnified in his mind, and then, the scene of the woman falling in a pool of blood lingered.
Shi Yuan's body trembled violently, and the people next to him had already noticed him.
Cheng Mu looked at him distressedly, turned around abruptly and hugged him tightly in his arms, so that no one next to him could see the scared and sad look on his face again.
"Don't be afraid."
Cheng Mu kept repeating these two words in his ear, and other than that, he didn't know what else he could say.
Cheng Mu knew in his heart that if there was no evidence in favor of the victim, the lawsuit would undoubtedly be lost, and the punishment for the mentally ill would not be too heavy at all.
He knew that this man must have a backer behind him.
As time passed, the feelings of the victim's family almost collapsed, because all the words were to justify the murderer, the daughter of the old couple, the sister with deep feelings, and the mother of the child were about to die innocently!
Suddenly, a man stood up in the auditorium.
As soon as he got up, everyone's eyes instantly stopped on him.
If anyone had noticed, they would have noticed that the man in the dock had panic and fear in his eyes the moment he stood up.
This scene was clearly seen by Cheng Mu.
Because the moment the man stood up, he felt that someone must react differently from the others.
Because that person has been sitting quietly in his seat with his head down from the beginning, saying that he is a family member of the victim, which is not right, because his feelings are wrong.
Therefore, his sudden standing up is certainly not an angry accusation or abuse of the defendant, but something he knows, and perhaps what evidence he has.
Some people may say that maybe he just listened and finally moved, so he couldn't help but stand up, but obviously not, if he was just generally moved or even angry, he would definitely scold directly, and maybe even start scolding before he stood up, and he wouldn't stand up like he does now.
This only proves one thing about what evidence he has.
Therefore, he did not speak out immediately after standing up, and he needed to speak solemnly after everyone paid attention to him.
The atmosphere froze in an instant, and Cheng Mu clearly saw that the man who stood up was constantly rubbing his fists.
He was nervous, he was scared, he was thinking about whether he should say the next thing or not.
Cheng Mu secretly shouted in his heart, say it, say it quickly, if you don't say it, I'm afraid it will be too late.
As if to corroborate Cheng Mu's words, the defendant's lawyer spoke before the man spoke.
Request for an adjournment.
The judge agreed.
Cheng Mu's eyes narrowed, and he saw that the man instantly softened and sat on the seat.
Now, can he still have the courage to get up again?
Cheng Mu's brain was running quickly, and within three seconds, he let go of Shi Yuan and got up and walked towards the man.
