When Zhou Qingchun heard her voice, he raised his head and was a little stunned, and looked at her several times, always with an uncertain expression on his face.

After a while, he finally spoke with some hesitation: "Xiao Li? It's you? ”

Ling Li nodded, lowered her eyes and looked at the seven or eight cigarette butts scattered on the ground at his feet, and deduced in her heart that it seemed that Zhou Qingchun was here to find her, and she had probably been waiting for a long time.

As for his intention, Ling Li could probably guess it.

Her eyes drooped slightly, and she didn't look directly into his eyes, but said slowly: "Officer Zhou, do you have anything to do with coming to me?" ”

Zhou Qingchun pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "It's really a female college eighteen changes, Xiaoli, you have become beautiful, Uncle Zhou doesn't dare to recognize you." ”

He greeted him, but the reluctant smile on his face and the preoccupied expression made Ling Li's face sink as well.

Here it is again, every time.

When she needed someone to support her, almost everyone avoided her, for fear that her misfortune would affect their mood, and no one would take the initiative to reach out to her, looking at her with dodge in their eyes.

And when she thinks that everything is over and she has to look forward, someone will take the initiative to stand up and tell her that we are always paying attention to you, because you are miserable and weak enough, and everyone is waiting for you to cry.

Not so good luck is icing on the cake, for sending charcoal in the snow, she once had extravagant hopes, and now, she only hopes to be forgotten about the past and be an ordinary person.

Zhou Qingchun saw that she didn't speak, pinched off the half-smoked cigarette in his hand, and went straight to the point: "Zhong Chengheng has filed an application for state compensation, do you know?" ”

Really! Ling Li thought silently in her heart, lowered her eyes and looked at her toes, and whispered, "I know, I read the news today." ”

But he became emotional, smashed his fist on the wall, and said hatefully: "Thirty million, this kid really dares to mention it!" ”

The muffled sound of the bone joints colliding violently with the wall tiles shocked her ears, but Zhou Qingchun continued as if she didn't feel pain: "How can this person be so shameless. ”

Ling Li just wanted to get out of here quickly, but his face was still calm: "He mentioned him, no matter how the court decides, whether it is him or us, he can't be the master." ”

He raised his head again and smiled at him: "Officer Zhou, if there is nothing wrong, I will leave first, and I still have some things in my hand to go back and work overtime." ”

After saying that, he immediately turned around and walked into the rain, for fear that if he had one more second, his emotions would get out of control.

Her calm attitude made Zhou Qingchun a little stunned, and immediately chased after Ling Li and grabbed Ling Li: "Are you willing?" He poisoned your whole family! ”

Ling Li only felt that his arm was a little painful from being scratched by him, and frowned and said, "Officer Zhou, you scratched me." ”

Zhou Qingchun hurriedly let go of her when he heard this, took a few steps back, and was a little stunned: "Xiaoli, you have to know something, I have never tortured to extract a confession, Zhong Chengheng admitted that the murderer was him three times in a row."

Don't believe the court's bullshit verdict, they won't talk about letting the criminals go, and now they are still bored with being claimed 30 million, as the victim's family, what don't you want to do? ”

Ling Li took a deep breath to steady her breathing, stood up straight again, and said, "Officer Zhou, I've been very busy lately, and I don't have time to pay attention to Zhong Chengheng's affairs for the time being. As for whether the amount of his compensation is too high, it should be left to the court, not you and me. ”

By the end, she felt her voice grow hoarse.

didn't know where this sentence stimulated him, Zhou Qingchun suddenly lost control of his emotions.

His eyes were about to split, and he almost roared: "Xiao Li, do you have no heart?" What does it mean to have no time to pay attention, but you came late and only saw their breath in their throats. But I saw your dad convulsing all over his body, vomiting blood, scratching everywhere because of the pain, his fingernails were turned over and bleeding for a long time, and finally he died of respiratory failure. Your dad loves you so much, he died so miserably, and now you say that you are busy with work and have no time? ”

Ling Li couldn't help but tremble. In the next second, I only felt that the sour feeling in my heart rushed straight to my brain, and the pain that had been being pressed down was also spread out in wisps and spread to the entire body.

She didn't know how to answer this heart-wrenching question, only stunned. In the drizzle, her hair was stained with raindrops, and began to hang down one by one, and her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of rain and mist, and she gradually couldn't see clearly.

Suddenly, a cool and familiar voice sounded behind him: "Please leave immediately." ”

Ling Li turned her head when she heard the sound, but it was Zhu Jinchuan who came out of the building and was in the direction behind her.

He walked slowly with a dark blue umbrella and covered her with a hint of displeasure on his face.

Zhou Qingchun looked at the person in front of him, and said with some doubts: "Who are you?" ”

Ling Li was still hesitating whether she should introduce herself, but Zhu Jinchuan had already spoken: "You don't care who I am, the case has passed, Zhong Chengheng is not guilty in law, I hope you don't come to harass the victim's family again." ”

Zhou Qingchun was stung by his attitude, his eyes bulging and shouting: "What is harassment, I grew up watching Xiao Li, her family's blood and revenge have not been avenged, how can she live with peace of mind?" ”

His voice was so loud that he shouted like this, attracting sideways glances from passers-by.

Those eyes fell on Ling Li's body, or inquiry, curiosity, or pity, piercing her eyes painfully.

Zhu Jinchuan's voice sounded: "Now that it has been done, no matter whether the result is good or bad, she should start a new life again. Those of you who care about her so-called should take care of your extended hand too long, and don't use high-sounding excuses to interfere in her life again and again. ”

Zhou Qingchun opened his mouth, very unconvinced: "What is the result?" If there is no justice in this matter, I will not give up! ”

He took another step forward and stared at Ling Li: "Xiao Li, I'm going to retire next year, I'm afraid no one will care about this matter anymore." If we want to overturn the case, we have to hurry up. ”

Ling Li lowered her head, not wanting to attract the attention of others on this issue. She adjusted her breathing and was just about to speak, but Zhu Jinchuan stuffed the umbrella into her hand and silently blocked her in front of her, blocking Zhou Qingchun's sight.

After that, he said in a deep voice: "You are the policeman who undertook the case back then, right?" In fact, in the final analysis, you are just unwilling to be held accountable because of the initiation of the state compensation process. If you really want to be good for Ling Li, please put away the idea that you still want to trouble the defendant and really let her go. ”

I don't know if he was talking about Zhou Qingchun's thoughts, he opened and closed his mouth for a long time, and he didn't say a word.

After confronting Zhu Jinchuan for a while, Zhou Qingchun finally sighed deeply, and his voice softened: "Xiao Li, no matter whether you still pursue this matter or not, I will not give up." I swear that when I interrogated him, I really didn't torture him to extract a confession, and I didn't do anything wrong. Zhong Chengheng, he is really the murderer. ”

Leaving this sentence, Zhou Qingchun took a deep look at Ling Li's shadow behind Zhu Jinchuan, and then turned to leave.

Ling Li hung her head, only to feel that the wind blew the rain silk tilted, and the fine and dense raindrops rushed from under the umbrella to her feet, and the black upper of her shoes was instantly covered with a layer of mist.

Zhu Jinchuan quietly turned sideways in the direction where the wind was blowing, accompanied her to be silent for a while, turned his face and said, "Let's go, send you home." ”

Ling Li shook his head, and suddenly realized that his umbrella was in his hand, and hurriedly returned it to him: "I'll catch the subway by myself." ”

She didn't grasp the strength of her panicked movements, and her fingertips lightly swiped over his palm.

There was a tingling chill in the palm of her hand, except for the slight pain in her fingernails, which was amazingly cold to the touch.

Her eyes fell on her slightly shrunken shoulders and some pale lips in the drizzle and cold wind, Zhu Jinchuan frowned slightly, and her voice carried a firmness that she could not refuse: "Don't be reckless, if you get caught a cold, what will you do when the court is held?" ”

Ling Li didn't know how to follow Zhu Jinchuan to his car. Until she sat in the co-pilot, she was still a little stunned, laughing at herself in her heart, if Zhu Dazhuang wants to really convince someone, with her not very easy brain, she can't resist at all.

Zhu Jinchuan looked at her sideways, and his voice slowed down: "It's all over, don't think about it." ”

Ling Li nodded, inadvertently meeting his eyes, and suddenly his eyes swelled.

Why is there a thick grievance from the bottom of my heart? Why do you suddenly want to cry?

But what is there to cry about? I've been around for so many years, haven't I come here with such a person?

"No, it must be an illusion." She said to herself silently, tilting her head sideways and looking out the window, trying to bring back the tears.

But suddenly from the rearview mirror, I caught a glimpse of my pale face and frightened eyes, and the fragility in my eyes was unconcealed.

Probably in the eyes of others, she thought she was a seamless disguise, but in fact, it was broken with a slight poke, and it was so naïve that it made people laugh, right?

However, even if she is strong in self-deception, she really doesn't want to cry in front of others. In particular, he just committed stubbornness and bumped into Zhu Jinchuan, but at this time he wanted to cry in front of him, which was really embarrassing.

She tried to blink her eyes and tried to hold back her tears, but she only felt that she was about to hold it back, and she felt a pang of chagrin in her heart.

Zhu Jinchuan suddenly turned off the wipers, pulled the car door and stood outside the car, and said slowly: "I'm addicted to smoking, you wait for me for a while." ”

After saying that, he picked up the umbrella on the side of the car door, opened it and stood on the side of the road, and lit a cigarette.

Without the hard-working wipers, the rain fell on the windshield, and in a moment the road and people ahead were blurred.

Ling Li watched in a daze as the rain slowly slid down the car window, gradually converging into water droplets, adorned on the glass like crystal clear window flowers.

With this water curtain-like cover, she gradually relaxed the tight strings in her head, and let the pain that had been restrained in her heart for a long time spread.

The winter rain lingered softly, the car was well heated, and the female voice in the stereo sang in a low voice: "You gave me an umbrella to support the lonely ...... that poured down."

The voice swirled all the way to her heart, and gradually, blurred her eyes.
