The weather in early summer is always changing, and the sky was clear just now, and when I came out of the office building, it was pouring rain.

Zhu Jinchuan's car came out of the underground parking lot and stopped in front of the building, staring at Ling Li in the dark sky.

On the way home to send Ling Li, he basically didn't say a word, and handed his umbrella to Ling Li before getting out of the car.

Ling Li woke up like a dream and shook her head: "No need, I have it." ”

Zhu Jinchuan stared at her, his eyes were deep.

He was silent for a long time, until he opened his mouth, Ling Li thought that he was going to talk about Tang Aoxue, but he didn't expect him to mention another matter.

"The result of the national compensation in Qin Xinghai's case has come down, you accompany him to the court tomorrow to go through the formalities and receive the money, and the case will be closed."

Ling Li was stunned, lowered her eyes and nodded.

The wind and rain were heavy, and Ling Li held a small umbrella from the door to the front of the building for more than a hundred meters, and most of her body was already wet by the slanted rain.

This unexpected rain also made her see an unexpected person.

The slender girl leaned against the door frame, her hair dripping with water, her eyes slightly red, and her eyes were misty.

Seeing Ling Li appear, Zhong Zhuowen hooked the corners of her mouth and curled her eyebrows, and her voice was crisp: "Hi, Ling Li." ”

————

Ling Li poured a glass of water for Zhong Zhuowen, looking at Zhong Zhuowen, who she hadn't seen for several months, with a thoughtful look in her eyebrows.

It seems that I haven't seen this girl for a long time, maybe it's because she's too busy since school started, maybe it's because Zhong Chengheng has been released from surveillance and is now living like a normal person, so this little girl has returned to the right path, and she no longer pesters Ling Li at every turn.

She seems to have grown taller again, her clothes are soaked and she is now drying in the washing machine, wearing Ling Li's pajamas that are obviously much shorter, at this time she retracted into the sofa with a cup, with a bath towel on her head, and drank a sip of tea in her mouth from time to time, looking very satisfied.

Ling Li knew that Zhong Zhuowen must have some kind of moth, otherwise how could she still touch it here after she moved out.

I glanced at the time, half past seven. Judging from Zhong Zhuowen's appearance of falling soup chicken just now, combined with the time of rain, Ling Li speculated that she probably came here after school.

"It's so big!" Zhong Zhuowen sighed, "Or is it still this girlish style?" I didn't expect the cool and handsome Tian Daniu to be this aesthetic style. ”

There was a lot of stuff in her hand, Ling Li didn't have the heart to go around with her, and went straight to the point: "What are you looking for me for?" ”

Zhong Zhuowen didn't care, raised her little face and smiled sweetly: "Can't I come to see you?" ”

"I have a lot of things on my hands at the moment, so let's talk about it directly, or you can take care of yourself and leave when your clothes are dry." Ling Li said lightly.

Zhong Zhuowen finally put away the indifferent smile on her face, and there was a little temptation in her eyes: "Do you know that your family is sick?" ”

Ling Li closed her eyes slightly, there was no expression on her face, but she seemed to be pinched in her heart, and she was fierce.

After a long time, she asked Zhong Zhuowen, "Where did you know about it?" ”

"Do you know this?" Zhong Zhuowen had a puzzled expression, "I knew it from my parents last night. ”

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Ling Li's head.

Zhu Jinchuan knew that Ling Ling was sick back then, so as the "actor" of the year, Zhong Chengheng must know better. Will Zhong Zhuowen's trip bring her some different information?

Seeing that Ling Li was deep in thought, Zhong Zhuowen pursed her lips and continued: "Yesterday, a police officer came to my house, said a few words to my father and left. After the police left, my dad and my mom had a big fight, and I vaguely heard a few words. That means, it seems that my father knows that your family has been sick, and if he said it back then, he probably wouldn't have to go to jail. ”

Speaking of this, her dark eyes were a little pleading: "Ling Li, do you know? What kind of illness did your family have that could have an impact on the outcome of the case? ”

Ling Li lowered her eyes and shook her head gently: "I don't know about this matter, so I ......"

Before she finished speaking, Zhong Zhuowen's eyes suddenly lit up: "Then can you go for a comprehensive physical examination, I listen to the meaning of my mother's words, it seems to be ......"

She hesitated for a few seconds and said, "It seems that there is some kind of genetic disease, maybe genetic screening can give some results?" ”

Suddenly, Ling Li remembered the inexplicable physical examination the day before, and an extra expensive item.

It seems that the name of the project does have something to do with genes.

She couldn't help but think about it anymore. Zhu Jinchuan, he must already know something.

But why did you hide it from her?

Confused for a while, Ling Li took a deep breath to stabilize her emotions and looked at Zhong Zhuowen: "You can go to your parents for verification, you don't have to do some useless work here with me." I won't go for a physical examination or something. ”

Zhong Zhuowen still wanted to plead, but suddenly saw the bruises left by the blood draw between her arms, and her round eyes exclaimed: "You have already drawn blood, so ......"

Before she could finish speaking, Ling Li had already interrupted in a cold voice: "I'll say it again, and it's the last time, I won't do a physical examination to verify your guess in your heart, if you want the result, you can persuade your parents to let you participate in this matter." I also want to know what happened back then, and if you have an answer, please let me know. ”

Zhong Zhuowen still didn't give up, and pleaded: "Ling Li, the result is already in front of you, and it must be a disease that will have an important result in the case." But my dad wouldn't say it, and my mom wouldn't say anything when she quarreled with him like that. He always treated me like a child, so how could he tell me? Please, Ling Li, Sister Ling, I need your help. ”

Clenching his palms to suppress the emotions in his heart, Ling Li took a while before he spoke: "Your father has been cleared of suspicion, and now the police have restarted the investigation, what are you worried about?" If the case has been filed and investigated, there is no statute of limitations, even if you wait another eight years, if there is another real culprit, as long as the police find out, the procuratorate will prosecute, and there are public authorities to support your whole family, why do you bother me? ”

After saying this, she stood up, lowered her head and said in a cold voice: "It's time for you to go home, if you don't leave again, I'll notify your parents to come and pick up someone." ”

Zhong Zhuowen was anxious, and then stood up and her voice was a little sharp: "The statute of limitations will not expire, but what if the suspect is dead and not investigated for criminal responsibility?" If you don't stand up, my dad won't say it, and the police won't investigate, then the stigma on his head won't be washed away for the rest of his life! ”

Suddenly dizzy, Ling Li only heard a noisy buzzing sound in his ears, and could no longer hear the sounds around him.

She stood firmly on the back of the sofa chair, her face turned pale, and she clenched her teeth: "What are you talking about?" ”

Realizing that she said something she shouldn't have said, Zhong Zhuowen hurriedly covered her mouth and was a little panicked: "No, I guessed blindly." ”

There was still a sharp whistling sound in her ears, and Ling Li only saw her mouth moving, but she still couldn't hear clearly. She closed her eyes and felt her hearing return.

The wind on the eighteenth floor was a little strong, and the damp wind stirred the crystal lamps overhead.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that the light of the chandelier was refracted with colorful light, and the room was full of fragments of light and shadow, and the scene in front of her was like a shadow.

It seems that she can't see the face of the tall girl in front of her clearly, but the words she said in a hurry just now are in her heart, and every word is bloody.

When Zhong Zhuowen left, it was close to nine o'clock in the evening.

She changed into dry clothes and looked a little worried before leaving the door.

After changing her clothes, she looked back at Ling Li, who was pale, and finally said, "No matter what, let's go check and check." I listened to the police, it would be very painful and long-lasting. If...... If you have one, it's better to treat it early. ”

Ling Li didn't look at her, and heard her almost inaudible low sighs, the sound of closing the door and leaving, and the footsteps of the distance.

The room gradually quieted down, but her state of mind could no longer be quiet.

Since she learned from Li Guo and Zhu Jinchuan about some past events that she had not been in contact with before, these days, Ling Li has been working hard to seal her suspicions, keeping her energy focused on the current case, not thinking too much about lest she get into the horns again and not being able to get out, and she is also waiting for someone to tell her with certainty that her suspicions are wrong, and the foundation that has supported her not to fall over the years is not so easy to collapse.

Unexpectedly, a person pressed up, one thing after another, and she was forced to face all this.

What Zhong Zhuowen said inadvertently just now is actually basically the same as the answer hinted at by Zhu Jinchuan that night. They all suspected that the case was because his father was suffering from a very painful illness, which caused him to be depressed and unable to think about it, so he bought rat poison.

As for what rat poison is for, it is unknown. But Ling Li knew that with her shrewd and capable mother housekeeper, she had never had a rat infestation at home, and occasionally one or two lucky people who jumped into the house could be caught quickly.

So, those rat poisons are definitely not bought because of rats at home.

I didn't dare to think about it anymore, but I couldn't help but think about it. Ling Li shrunk on the sofa in the living room alone, pulled a thin blanket to cover her cold feet, and the temperature in her heart became lower and lower.

How nice it would be if there really were Tinker Bell in this world? Even if you can't go back to prevent the tragedy from happening, you can figure out who is behind the scenes.

A drama that made her tortured for eight years, turned her life upside down again and again, and made her life worse than death.

She sat for an unknown amount of time, a mess of images in her head, forgetting the time, forgetting her hunger, until the doorbell rang for several minutes, and she woke up from a dream.

Why are you still here? Why do you still have to pester her?

Ling Li frowned, and a resentment suddenly appeared in her heart.

can't even be quiet by herself, what is Zhong Zhuowen going to force her to?

She was barefoot on the ground, angrily opened the door, and was about to blurt out the accusatory words, but found that it was not Zhong Zhuowen outside the door.

Wei Wei looked at her and greeted her with a smile: "Sister Pink, can I go in?" ”

She is still in her usual sportswear, hot pants, tight T-shirt, the lines are flawless, and her exposed skin is not fair enough, but it exudes a moist luster.

The only blemish was a slight bruise on her neck near the base of her ear.
