Chapter 6: The Source of All Evil

Ah Lian didn't expect me to have a hand, she looked at me with a frown; "Do you really think she's going to help you?"

I shook my head: "I don't know if the little apprentice is willing to help me, but I know that she can't resist the condemnation of her conscience, and she will definitely help this child, so you still think about it before you start, you can still join forces to do bad things, I don't want you to rut yourself in, although a good person is not a good person, but you are not a bad person, think clearly about how to deal with us." "To be honest, I'm not sure in my heart if Zheng Min will come to save us, and what he said is just to embolden himself.

Ma Yongdi looked at us nervously, then at Ah Lian, and finally sighed and asked, "How are you going to help us?" ”

After the situation was temporarily eased, I also breathed a sigh of relief in my heart: "Send this child back first." ”

"I'm not going back." Su Baijia said behind me, "I want to avenge my father." ”

I was a little impatient: "My friend went to look for you, and now he has gone to the bad guy den who thinks he has you and wants to save you, now I can't contact him, and I can't contact him, if he doesn't see you when he is around, he won't take the initiative to choose to leave, he is very dangerous, I can't be distracted by your affairs." I don't object to you avenging your father, you can toss as much as you want, but I want to save my friend, my friend will die because of your nonsense, I think your father should have taught you how not to cause trouble to others, right? ”

"I won't trouble you, I'll go by myself." Su Baijia turned his head away, looking like he had made up his mind.

"Whatever you want, I can't stop anyone who wants to die in vain, I wish you and your father a speedy meeting in heaven. Ah, it may not be possible to go back, your father may be in heaven, but you, hehe, cause trouble to others and cause the child to go to hell. "Maybe I'm worried about Wei Kai, but I didn't realize until I finished speaking, that I had already begun to imagine a child's duality. Seeing the child standing in place with his back stiff, when I was hesitating whether to apologize, Ah Lian interjected: "I persuaded him, I didn't plan to use him from the beginning, my young child can't be small, otherwise I would have thrown him into the wolf's den, how can he mess around here." I can still watch him now, just to let his father's apprentice take risks, after all, the disappearance of one of his own people is more convenient for the media to make a big fuss. He wants to die so much, it seems that I am blindly worrying. ”

may have been hit by a series of critical attacks, Su Baijia is no longer as strong as just now, I squatted down and was about to persuade him again, but Su Baijia suddenly turned around, isn't this going to cry and run out like in the TV series? I complained in my heart, but this kid was quite well-behaved, and he just turned away from me. "How? Still thinking about going to death? I asked him.

He didn't speak, and wasting time was a waste of life, and in desperation, I turned her around, and caught a glimpse of the tears on the young man's face, which seemed to be crying by me and Ah Lian. Su Baijia saw me catch a glimpse of him in tears, and immediately turned her face to the other side.

I knew that he didn't want me to see his weak appearance, and I didn't feel sorry for him, but I softened my tone and said to him: "There is an old Chinese saying that if you stay in the green mountains, you are not afraid of running out of firewood." I know you want to avenge your dad, I know you love them, but now is not the time for you to protect them. Although it sounds like empty words, what your father wants to see is not that you avenge him in this way, watching you disappear into this world at such a young age, you still have a lot to do, a lot of life to experience, and your father must not want to see you in another world when you are still very young. You'll have more chances for revenge in the future. ”

"But he'll never come back, and if I don't catch the bad guy this time, I'll never get a chance to catch him again." Su Baijia took a handful of tears from her face.

Seeing that his mood eased, I earned the place where his face was rushing: "No." You see, this time I will help you catch the bad guys, and my sister knows a police uncle who helped send him to the judicial authorities to be punished. Although you can't help your father now, you can grow up well, and when you become stronger, you can catch more bad people while protecting yourself, and you can also prevent this tragedy from happening to more people. You say it's good or not. You don't even have the ability to protect yourself now, how are you going to avenge your father. Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, didn't he still think that he was too anxious, and he was found to be clues, and he didn't succeed in taking revenge in the end; When you were about the same age as you, you came to the king with a sword forged by your deceased father to seek revenge (1), and then you were used, even though you killed the king, and you died with the king, do you want to die with a bad person? I guess not. ”

After even coaxing and scareping, Su Baijia stopped talking, and no longer insisted on his own point of view, just muttering and not knowing what to say, and in the end, he raised his head and looked at me seriously: "Then sister, can you kill that person by breaking me?" ”

I gently tapped Su Baijia's head: "Children, don't keep thinking about fighting and killing. In this way, I promise you, help you find out the truth about your father's death, if it is really the same as you think, your father has nothing to do with the dark deal, then I will help you return your great hero a clean slate. I know a particularly powerful sister who can write a story about your father. Also, those bad people, I'm sure they'll be punished by themselves, but it's not me who kills, I can't break the law in order to stop a crime, right? But I'm sure he'll let him suffer for himself. I put my little finger in front of him," retracting the hook. ”

He reached for my little thumb and nodded, and then the first thief said with some embarrassment; "Sister, I'm sorry I got your companion involved."

Seeing that he wanted to open it, I didn't get angry, and helped him pout the place I knocked just now: "He is an adult who is experienced in finding death, and sending you back for the time being is the first priority." ”

"Can't I wait for you here?" Su Baijia looked at me pleadingly, "I won't act on my own, I want to see them punished with my own eyes." ”

I shook my head; "No, it's too dangerous for you to stay here, you haven't experienced the tension of your exam next year, and I won't let you miss the feeling of your heart beating fast and suddenly in the exam room. Tell me how many classes you've been to? ”

He didn't pay much attention to my question: "But Dad's innocence is more important than the exam." ”

"Your dad values you more than his own life, and you think he will make you live a life of murder and arson in order for you to prove his innocence? You just wait for my good news, now sit here honestly, and I'll find someone to pick you up. ”

After temporarily calming the child, I called the boss directly, and before I could speak, the boss blew up: "Xiaozhi, what's the matter with you, now the client said that your visit to school today has caused a very bad impact on them, and I only ask for an explanation." ”

I stuck out my tongue, thinking that the client was exaggerating, but if I were them, I would be very angry if I knew that there was a wanted criminal among the client, after all, it seemed more dangerous to be with a wanted criminal than the risk of running away from home with the child.

"We've found Su Baijia, boss, can you pick him up?" I replied after the boss had finished questioning.

When Lao Da heard that we had found Su Baijia, he finally lowered his voice, and he asked me in some surprise; "Why didn't you two come back with him?"

"The situation has changed, I and Weikai have separated for some reason, and now I need to rescue Akai as soon as I find this child." I'll briefly explain why.

The boss didn't embarrass me, but told me to be careful, and then agreed with me to bring the client to the café to pick up Su Baijia after an hour.

After talking on the phone, there was some time for me to decide to look for answers to some other questions. Because of the solution to the problem of commissioning, I was also half relieved, I took black tea and chocolate condensed milk on Ah Lian's locker, and simply made milk tea for myself to drink: "Okay, now the problem of the little hairy child has been solved." Let's talk about the cause of everything, after all, my friend broke into the tiger's den, thanks to your plan. Now, let's talk about the events of that year again. It just so happened that Su Baijia was there, and it was also an opportunity for him to get to know his father in a comprehensive way. ”

I handed Su Baijia a cup of milk tea; "Drink something sweet to ease your mood, you don't want your aunt and uncle to see that you're a little man, have you?"

Su Baijia nodded, obediently took the cup, and then looked up and asked me, "Will they say bad things about my father?" ”

I thought for a moment: "I don't know, but this is your chance to get to know your father, maybe they want to say with their own prejudices against your father, but these prejudices and personal feelings are also the facts they see, and their opinions, do you want to listen?" However, you have to promise me that you must face these people's opinions calmly, and you can't interrupt others, okay? "I know that time is precious now, and I have to take every time to understand the facts of the case.

Su Baijia lowered her head and thought for a few seconds, then looked up and told me that he had agreed to my quid pro quo.

I turned to look at Ah Lian and Ma Yongdi, and also brought them milk tea: "Can you tell me about the events of the year now?" Whether or not it is mixed with your personal opinions, I would like to hear what promises he has not kept with you. ”

By the time I said the word promise, I felt Su Baijia, who was sitting next to me, silently straighten his back, and I knew that he still cared a lot about what others said about his father.

At this time, Di Di finally spoke again, and the sadness slowly spread in the small attic: "I also blame myself for doting on this child too much, causing her to degenerate like that in the end." Because of my opposition to my divination business, Longbo's mother divorced me when he was very young and left the family with Longbo. Five years after her mother took the child, his mother sent the child back because she had remarried. It may be that he can't understand why he was abandoned by his mother, we haven't seen each other for five years, from five to ten years old, I missed this child's five years of childhood, I didn't take the initiative to contact their mother and son, but there will be some child support on a regular basis. I can't tell you but what I think, I'm always deliberately avoiding him, maybe in my own psychology, divination is an industry that will bring trouble to my family, my master has never married, I just think that this kind of thing that pierces the sky will bring misfortune to the family. I didn't believe in evil, I had to go to my girlfriend at the time, and then I didn't know how to experience Gao Ping'an, or God wanted to give me a chance to save my children, in short, our married life was not happy, and we finally chose to divorce. Five years after the divorce, Long Bo's mother struggled to live with a child, and although I paid the maintenance expenses on time, the money was still too insignificant for a woman. At that time, I didn't have this café, and I just went out every day, and my income was unstable, and it didn't bring better help to the two of them. After that, it may be that everyone saw that Long Bo's mother was living too hard, and he was still very beautiful at that time, so someone introduced him to a new husband, but they didn't want to raise Long Bo with her. Long Bo's mother came to me to discuss whether I could raise the child and let her pay for the child's support. His mother had been miserable since she was a child, and she was finally able to get a better life, and she had raised the child alone for five years wholeheartedly, and I felt that there was no reason to refuse her request, so I took the child to me. But I haven't seen and gobred for five years, and there is already a lack of some of the family affection between father and son between the child and me, plus he was paranoid that his mother abandoned him for a better life, so he was very aggrieved every day at that time. I tried to talk to him, but he refused to talk to me, and I didn't know how to talk to him, because we hadn't talked in a long time. After that, his classmates knew about it, and he became a digest among his classmates, and I tried to talk to the students who bullied him, but the effect was really bad, he still didn't have a good time, and my guilt grew bigger and bigger. At that time, in order to compensate for the guilt of this child, Long Bo's mother helped me buy this curtain and asked me to do some small business so that I could provide a better life for this child. I did the same. My master once said that I would come to work after the age of 345, and my master was very accurate, when Long Bo returned to me, I had just celebrated my 36th birthday, and then I began to slowly support the small business, and slowly made the business bigger and bigger, but because of making money, I neglected to discipline this child. Because I didn't know how to deal with this child's grievances and resentment, I chose to escape. I used money to make up for this child, but I never really talked to him about all the trauma he went through, and I always felt that all the ups and downs would be smoothed out over time. But I was wrong, what this child really longed for was the warmth and companionship from the family, but when his mother and I couldn't give him this, he received the bewitchment of the bad people outside, and the sweet words of those people gave him the illusion of warmth, but in fact those people were only staring at his forever stuffed purse, and then in order to squeeze more oil and water out of him, they began to tell her to peruse and sell him drugs. By the time I knew all this, it was too late, and he was addicted to drugs. ”

To tell the truth, although what Ma Yongdi said was similar to what I expected, I still felt extremely shocked when I heard it with my own ears. may have finally told the secret that had been pressed in his heart for so many years, Ma Yongdi drank the milk tea in the cup in one gulp, and then continued: "I was very anxious after I saw her contaminated with drugs, but I didn't want to take her to the drug rehabilitation center at that time, where would I register all the information of this child, he was not an adult at that time, and I didn't want his life to be stained." But I was wrong, if I had sent her to a drug rehabilitation center and isolated him from her depraved life, maybe he would still be able to see her alive today. But my selfish thoughts hurt him at that time, and I always felt that she should have a glamorous appearance, so I did not send him to where she should go, but locked him up at home, trying to help him get rid of drugs on my own, but as you can imagine, it did little to come, and he escaped from the house. He didn't have any money, but he wanted something that was addictive to him, so they asked him to help them go to nightclubs and things like that to help them sell these harmful things, and in return, they offered them to him. He stupidly listened to them and began to get into this dirty deal. During her first transaction, she bumped into your father, Su Jin. Ma Yongdi looked at Su Baijia sitting next to me.

When Su Baijia heard his father's name, he immediately became serious, he stared at Ma Yongdi tightly, and hesitated again and again before asking cautiously; "My father bought those things?"

Ma Yongdi shook his head: "No, I can't just wronged people, your father has never touched that harmful thing from beginning to end." ”

Hearing this, Su Baijia exhaled slightly, but still stared nervously at Ma Yongdi opposite.

Ma Yongdi sighed and said with some resentment: "But he caught evidence that Long Bo was selling non-drugs." But he didn't call the police at the time, but found me through his own network, and when he showed me the evidence he had obtained, he knew that I would choose to cooperate with him in order to protect my son's reputation. ”

"What to cooperate with," I asked Ma Yongdi eagerly.

Ma Yongdi smiled bitterly, frowned with a painful expression and said, "He said that he could not go to the police to accuse my son of drug use, but we must cooperate with him to wake her up with the report she wants." I chose to work with my son for the sake of his reputation, and then he said that he would introduce me to a private drug rehabilitation center that would not leave any five points in my life, so that my son could get rid of his addiction. I agreed to his terms, and then I followed my son to the location where he often picked up the goods, and brought my son home by the way. Then he was locked in the house, and every day I personally watched him at home. I was a child who fantasized that one day my son would be able to quit drugs in this way, but I was wrong, my son not only succeeded in quitting drugs, but also lost all his mind after the onset of drug addiction, and he was suspicious of the commotion at that time. I had no choice but to turn to your father for help. ”

"Didn't my father help you?" Su Baijia asked nervously.

Ma Yongdi looked at us distractedly and shook his head; "I'm sorry, I don't want to hurt your father's image in your heart. But he really didn't help me at the time, and he told me that I would definitely help him deal with the sniper gangs in the industrial area. Long Bo had lost all his mind at that time, and I really didn't want him to be like that, so I agreed to your father's request in a daze. But he gave me some prescription medication and he said it would ease my son's discomfort. ”

"Prescription drugs?" I was surprised, I remember that there were many prescription painkillers that contained ****** ingredients, how did Su Jin get it? I turned my head and asked, "Does your father have any health problems?" ”

Su Baijia shook his head blankly, he was obviously also frightened by those three words.

"It's his grandfather's medicine, and when his grandfather had cancer, your father can get a prescription for painkillers." Ma Yongdi is very honest, and I can feel that he is trying his best to restrain his negative evaluation of Su Jin. still wants to leave a positive father image for this child.

But Su Baijia obviously received a lot of shock; "Dad stole Grandpa's medicine and did something bad." He repeated the phrase somewhat incoherently.

Ma Yongdi was obviously also frightened by Su Baijia's reaction, and then when he was hesitating whether to continue, Su Baijia suddenly spoke: "Uncle, what happened later?" I want to know more things. ”

With the help of Su Baijia's questioning eyes, Ma Yongdi still continued, but his expression was even more painful than just now: "After that, Long Bo finally slept the only good sleep at that time, and it was also the last good sleep. After he had fallen asleep, and with the memories of his time at the time, I told my father what I had overheard, and that there was a deal that night involving the dark lines of the two largest gangs here. I took your father there as requested, but we were inexperienced, and while we were tracking, your father was discovered. Although we were far away and were able to run away in a hurry, you know that we two middle-aged people couldn't outrun the young people who used force every day, and when we were almost caught, my son rushed out of nowhere and diverted their attention. It was a secret deal, but my son's presence made them feel in crisis, and although they no longer suspected that someone was spying on them, they stopped the transaction in order for their deal to be leaked, and stabbed my son to death, and then abandoned his body and fled. (To be continued.) )
