The vision is blurry and rippling, a bit like looking up from underwater. I can hear people speak but not clearly, and my ears are more of a buzzer caused by a pressure imbalance, and the cochlear is like an electric shock. She put her finger in and poked it, and spun it around again, and the two frequencies went head-to-head, no match for each other. After a while, the audio-visual finally balanced and slowly returned to normal.

Xu Lan sat opposite her, dressed in casual clothes, the purpose of this dress was not to make the atmosphere too solemn, and at the same time, he also hoped to stand in another capacity to express his grief and condolences.

Song Yingchen sat on her left side, elbows on her knees, hands ready to hold her head at any time, looking very tired. From that stunned expression, it is difficult to tell what kind of mood he is in at the moment, heartbroken or discouraged, sad or frightened......

Either way, she can empathize effortlessly.

One day seventeen years ago, around this time, she experienced the most terrifying change in her life. At that time, the mother suddenly fell from a tall building, and the blood gushed like a broken water pipe from a faucet, soaking the green grass red. She thought that her grief would shatter her on the spot, but she was more sober than ever, and it was not until the end of the whole tragedy that she began to linger in her heart, until today.

So she thought that Song Yingchen should probably have a similar experience at this moment. The blow of fate stamped his bloodless cheeks, and the pain would follow him until the last moment of his life.

Yes, there will be hatred, hatred and pain are twin tumors, scrambling to grow crazy in the body.

She wished that the seed of hatred could be dug out of his heart, for no one knew better than she what a terrible man the seed would become, and the word devil could not be described.

“…… That's the way it is, if I had gone half an hour earlier, she probably wouldn't have done anything stupid. After stating the whole story, Xu Lan's straight shoulders collapsed, buried her head, and two tears fell vertically to the ground.

He comforted Song Yingchen with a muddy voice, but he didn't dare to face those stunned eyes.

"Yingchen, you must be strong, so that your mother can walk with peace of mind."

Song Yingchen didn't speak, it was more like she didn't hear it, and her appearance of not crying or making trouble was worrying.

"Chiba, persuade him well, it is easier for you young people to communicate, and he is willing to listen to you. No one expected this to end, but it has come to this point, and the days have to go on, right, you must cheer up. ”

The question raised was more like a plea for help, if she didn't speak up again, Xu Lan really didn't know what else to say next.

She blinked her eyes and came back to her senses, only to find that her chest was already wet and full of tears.

"Yingchen......" she called cautiously, and reached out to pull Song Yingchen's shirt. Song Yingchen turned his head sideways, stared at her for a long time, and actually smiled at her, that smile was not mixed with any haze, as bright as when he first saw it.

She and Xu Lan looked at each other, and they were both worried about Song Yingchen's performance.

"I don't know how to persuade you, but just like Uncle Xu said, you must cheer up, otherwise Aunt Lu will not feel at ease."

Song Yingchen shook his head, grabbed the death certificate on the coffee table and fanned it, complaining, "It's so hot." ”

Xu Lan hurriedly got up and pushed the window open, and followed his words and said: "This year's weather is a bit abnormal, and it is already twenty-seven or eight degrees before summer. Having said that, he couldn't help but shudder at Song Yingchen's abnormal behavior. This should not be the behavior of a son whose mother died suddenly, calm and almost numb.

"Yingchen ......" Chiba stopped Song Yingchen's hand fanning the death certificate and took the piece of paper.

Song Yingchen was slightly stunned, and then pouted childishly.

"He also said it was hot." He pointed at Xu Lan.

She hurriedly went to the kitchen to pour him a glass of water and added a few more ice cubes.

"Drink some ice water."

Song Yingchen took it and looked at it first, then put his nose together and sniffed it like a puppy, and then drank the water. Seeing the two of them looking at him at a loss, he raised his hand and said, "It's okay, you continue." ”

Xu Lan returned to her seat and added some additional explanations. He tried his best to make his tone sound less businesslike, who expected that Song Yingchen on the other side was far more casual than he imagined.

"The trial of the case will not stop because of this, and the court will also make a judgment against Mai Trin, during which the company and real estate in her name will be frozen, including some income from unknown sources......

Chiba was always worried about Song Yingchen and interrupted him: "Uncle Xu, do you want to talk about it at another time?" ”

Xu Lan looked at Song Yingchen.

"No, say." Song Yingchen grabbed the cup in front of him, and it was already empty.

Chiba hurriedly refilled another cup for him.

"Mai Trin gave a thorough explanation, and her confession greatly advanced the work of the police and helped us get more evidence about Elysium. In my experience, the court will take her guilty plea seriously, and will consider a lighter sentence in sentencing. What you feared before, I don't think it will happen. ”

Saying this, Xu Lan wanted to cry a little. Indeed, Song Yingchen was worried that Lu Meiqin would be sentenced to death, but now this worry can be alleviated, but the person is no longer there.

"Can Yingchen still live here?" Chiba asked.

"Not for the time being, I may have to come to put the seal tomorrow, as for whether I can keep it, I don't know until after the trial."

"Lose money." Song Yingchen said, and then yawned.

Xu Lan was puzzled.

"I didn't know that the house would be seized, but he wanted to sell it for cash and try to provide compensation to the victim's family." Chiba explained on his behalf.

"Hey......" Xu Lan's sigh contained too much, and when he looked at Song Yingchen again, he had already closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Chiba also found out and helped him lie down slowly. He was so tired that he kept holding on.

Song Yingchen gasped evenly, and his haggard face gradually melted. The long, curled eyelashes covered the eyes like a curtain, and the slender fingers covered the chest, falling with the breath.

Xu Lan motioned for her to move to the corridor and whispered a conversation.

"Heard Mai Trin say he touched something he shouldn't have touched lately?"

Chiba nodded.

"Yes, but not again, he promised himself."

Out of professional experience, Xu Lan was not gullible.

"Don't take it lightly, the addiction is terrible, and you can't quit by quitting. Especially now that there is such a thing, I am afraid that he will lose control of his emotions and go astray again. ”

"Uncle Xu, don't worry, I'll watch him."

"You can't just watch, you have to stay an inch!" Sensing that the tone of his voice was getting higher, Xu Lan stretched her neck nervously, and then lowered it, "The rest of his life will be handed over to you, and you are the pillar of his life." ”

Sadness was a little more than shame, and Chiba's eyes moistened again.

"This child is pitiful, he has no father since he was a child, so he relied on a mother to pull him up, and he has suffered a lot. Although his material life improved later, the loneliness in his heart never disappeared for a moment. I can see that he likes you, and you like him, and it's best if we can get together, and even if you can't, I hope you treat him like a brother and sister, and don't lose him. ”

Lu Meiqin also said that if it was before, Chiba would definitely be happy for the unrequited love to achieve a positive result, but at this moment she can only feel a heavy and unhesitating responsibility.

This may be the most primitive form of love, just like someone treats her.

"Don't worry, Uncle Xu, although my ability is limited, I will never leave him alone. I am also an orphan, and I know how lonely and sad it is for a person to live, and I will definitely guard him every step of the way until he fully accepts it. ”

Xu Lan patted her shoulder twice thickly, and then switched from the identity of a caring elder to a serious police officer.

"By the way, what did Mai Trin tell you? You have a certain understanding of Elysium before, did she reveal to you any details that the police don't know? ”

"She should have told you everything she knew, and it was precisely because she didn't want me and Yingchen to get involved that she confessed so much. Actually, I felt guilty, thinking about what she said, every sentence was like saying goodbye, why didn't I react at the time. Thinking of Lu Meiqin's last words and deeds, Chiba regretted it.

"If I want to say guilt, I am not. You're right, she already had the idea of committing suicide, so she vomited things cleanly, so as not to leave more trouble for Yingchen. She is very strong, and she wants to save face, and she doesn't want her son to see a rogue mother who quibbles in every way in order to steal her life, so she ...... Yingchen! ”

As she spoke, Xu Lan turned her gaze to the living room, only to see Song Yingchen get up from the sofa and walk towards the other end in despair.

The two hurriedly caught up, with the same worry in their hearts - afraid that Song Yingchen would repeat Lu Meiqin's mistakes.

"Why are you going?" Xu Lan grabbed him.

"Pee." Song Yingchen said flatly, rubbing his eyes.

Xu Lan let go of her hand and walked forward by him alone.

"It's not very optimistic to see him like this, it's normal to cry and make a fuss at this time."

"Let him calm down, the bad news is also leveled, this kind of thing when the sky falls will not immediately stimulate the nerves, and when he comes to his senses, it is the time for him to call the sky and grab the earth." Chiba said.

Her understanding of the process of pain on people made Xu Lan have confidence in her.

"Then I'll go first, and I'll talk about the rest when he recovers." Xu Lan took out a room card from her pocket and handed it to her, "I opened a room in the hotel opposite, and you can take him there before noon tomorrow." Later, take a good inventory of what important things you have with you, write down a list of what you can't take with you, and send it to me, and I'll deal with it then. This room has been open for a month, and I will live in it first, and then look back to see where I have settled. ”

"Aunt Lu wants him to leave Lucheng."

"Leaving Deer City?" Xu Lan was a little surprised, but not surprised, "It's also a way, it's not appropriate to stay for a long time when you're sad, and a change of environment may help him get out of the trauma." ”

With that, he departed.

The huge room was suddenly quiet, and remembering that the hostess was no longer alive, Chiba felt a burst of compassion again.

Song Yingchen, who said that she wanted a small solution, didn't come out for a long time, she subconsciously looked for it, but found that he had already fallen asleep on the bed in the bedroom, and the bedroom floor was full of urine, exuding the smell of metabolism.

Chiba burst into tears.
