Chapter 15: A Home to Never Go Back to
The old man was found by Xiaozhi in the university, and this is what Li Jing asked her to do just now. On the phone, the old man was still reciting the Quran, and at the moment when An Ru was stunned, the special police had rescued the frightened hostage and pounced on An Ru, An Ru's expression was still stunned, he was patiently listening to the Koran of the old man. With the recitation of the Quran, An Ru had fallen into a trance, he looked at the hostages around him who were comforted by the police, and his heart suddenly overflowed with sourness and sympathy, the hostage in front of him looked like he was in his twenties, looking at the hostage, he seemed to see himself more than ten years ago. He looked away, squirmed his lips, and was wheeled into the car by the police behind him.
In the afternoon, we accompanied Team Xiao to pack up the files and file the case, and I suddenly remembered the two children and asked Team Xiao: "Team Xiao, how are those two children now?" "Because An Ru is their guardian, if An Ru is not there, what will the two children do? If they were sent back to France for re-adoption, they would have been devastating to the two children, who would have been forced to leave their place of life at such a young age. When I grew up, my closest people did irreparable things because of the aftermath of the war. How can they be told so that they can understand this cruel world?
Seeing my doubts, Team Xiao said silently: "In terms of the case, we have no direct evidence to prove that Lauren was also involved in these murders, and An Ru also bears all the charges, so Lauren is going through the formalities now, and he should be able to leave in a while." However, there has been a formal approval for him to leave China within a deadline, and Lauren should be able to continue to adopt the children after they are sent back to France. ”
"That's why they only have one person directly involved in the murder every time. When one person leaves, there is one more person who can face the darkness of the world with a child. Li Jing added, "But the three of them will have a more difficult time in the future." ”
"Will he not be able to find a job in France?" Is it because you can't afford to live?
Li Jing shook his head, and Mr. Lu put the materials in his hand into the file box and sealed them, and sat opposite me: "Their difficulties do not come from life, but from psychology. That war had caused them too much damage, whether it was Anru, Lauren, or those two children. The stress disorder caused by the trauma of war has not been effectively relieved until now, although they have left the land of gunsmoke, they cannot forget the killing and bloodshed on the battlefield, the nightmare of war has left their souls on the scorched earth forever, and they have not returned from the battlefield. And those two children, because of the war, the war forcibly pulled their roots from the culture that nurtured them, and they can't go home. ”
I handed over the information I had sorted out in my hand to Team Xiao, and walked to the balcony of the corridor by myself, the sky had begun to gray, and after a while I felt that there was another person beside me, and I guessed that it was Li Jing, and I didn't turn my head.
"Lauren should go through the formalities to pick up the kids now." Li Jing said beside him, exhaling a haha that fogmed the window opposite, "Teacher Lu contacted an American psychiatrist who was on leave in France for them, hoping that Lauren and the children could get help from him." ”
"Hmm." I answered softly.
"Between 2003 and 2006, 655,000 Iraqis were killed as a result of the war in Iraq, and that's just an incomplete count. Since 2006, 100,000 people have committed suicide in the United States each year, 20 percent of whom are war veterans, many of whom have been stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq. Whatever the cause, the cost of war is just as heavy and a tool to increase hatred for each other. Hatred can be infinitely amplified and will last for a long, long time, even longer than human life, to heal the wounds in a person's heart. Some people don't get rid of it until they die, and most of the time, we can't do anything about war. ”
"A vicious circle?" I smiled wryly.
"Do you know what Anru said at the end?" Li Jing asked me.
I looked up at Li Jing curiously, and I saw his lips squirm with a shallow "I'm sorry." ”
