Chapter 183: Fear of Guilt and Self-Judgment

Seeing Chiba coming out of the gate, he rushed forward with an arrow step, so fast that he almost fell on his head.

"What's going on, what did my mom tell you?" After grabbing Chiba's arm, he indirectly realized that he had been shivering.

Chiba inhaled sharply, and was about to spit it out in the same way, but then relaxed his throat, like a leaky balloon, exhaling evenly and densely.

"I'm a little thirsty and want to drink saliva first."

"I'm going to buy ......"

"Wait!"

Chiba stepped forward and took the initiative to take his arm, and the friendship conveyed by his movements was similar to that of relatives in the same boat.

"Let's come together, when I came, I saw that there was a coffee shop at the intersection in front of me, and it just so happened that you didn't have breakfast, so let's go and sit down."

Her seemingly calm but unusual behavior aroused his suspicions, but the slightly evasive trait of her personality played tricks on him, and she tacitly agreed not to ask anything, just giving her time to think and consider.

But even if he walked around Deer City for a whole circle, Chiba didn't know how to speak. Lu Meiqin hopes that she will persuade Song Yingchen to leave Lucheng and no longer pursue the progress of the case, in other words, and stop pursuing what kind of outcome she will face, which is more difficult for Song Yingchen than ascending to the sky.

But she couldn't tell Song Yingchen the real reason, because even she didn't know much about it. Lu Meiqin's resolute attitude proves that the danger hidden behind the incident is so great that it is irresistible, and only by avoiding it can Song Yingchen not fall into the quagmire.

The two of them walked forward silently, their steps surprisingly in unison. Chiba hopes that this road will never end, and that it can go on forever, without asking about the future, and without looking back.

But the coffee shop quickly appeared in front of her, and there was a fire in her throat.

It's an industrial-style storefront with a grey metal door that's more than three meters high. The exterior area is located in a garden at the back of the store, and you have to pass through the store to sit there.

Seeing that there were a lot of guests in the hall, Song Yingchen said to her: "Sit outside, I'll order first." ”

Chiba deliberately ordered "Vienna", which was relatively complicated in the production process, and went to the back garden alone.

There are four tables in the garden, arranged diagonally and with parasols on top of each table. As soon as she sat down, a blue cat in the store paced towards her, light but cautious.

The blue cat first tentatively probed at her feet, and then spread out on all fours, meowing out. On weekdays, she would definitely have fun with the cute little guy, but today she didn't have that interest at all.

She was dead.

The blue cat shook its tail in amusement and disappointment, and when Song Yingchen came over with the tray, he had already run away.

After putting the tray, "Vienna" was placed in front of him, and Song Yingchen also sat down. She knew that the time for her to think was over, and she had to convince him to leave Deer City.

"What are you not eating?" Seeing that there was no food in the tray, she asked with concern.

"Not hungry...... No appetite. Song Yingchen interpreted his state twice.

She slowly lifted the cup, and a layer of white cream sprinkled with colored rice was shiny, looking very attractive. She took a sip, obviously a cup of coffee with a very layered and emotional taste, but it was tasteless at the moment, so there was no expression on her face.

"Doesn't it taste good?" Song Yingchen sensitively captured this detail and asked sideways.

"Oh, no, it's good." She hurriedly licked the cream from her lips and wiped it with her head.

"What did my mother tell you, why did she name and want to see you?"

Before the sweetness of the cream spreads in the mouth, the question of helplessness is thrown. She couldn't easily avoid it like the cunning blue cat, on the contrary, she needed to head on.

"Aunt Lu wants you to leave Lucheng, it's best not to come back."

When she doesn't know what to say, expressing her heart truthfully may be the most reliable way, but despite this, she still has a lot of waves in her heart.

"Heh......" Unexpectedly, Song Yingchen laughed dryly, hugged the back of his head and leaned back, as if he was not surprised by this, "Where are you going?" Back to the United States? ”

"You can do it anywhere, as long as it's not here."

"What are you kidding, how can I leave when it's over, crazy her."

"I also know it's impossible to convince you, but Aunt Lu does mean that, and I hope you will do it."

"Why?" His body staggered forward, slamming the table and spilling coffee. However, he didn't mean to apologize for his reckless behavior, but just stared at her, afraid of missing any of the secretive expressions.

Chiba was also staring at his elk-like eyes, still so beautiful and simple, so in need of protection and love. She suddenly had a determination, hoping that she could fulfill Lu Meiqin's wish, because out of consideration for Song Yingchen's safety, they stood on the same side.

"She doesn't want you to see her trial, it's more painful than killing her."

She didn't know if this was a perfect excuse, but Song Yingchen's obviously frozen expression proved that this sentence made him think about it carefully.

He knows his mother very well and knows Lu Meiqin's character. As a woman or a mother, all of Lu Meiqin's face and self-esteem only appear noble and unshakable in front of him. So in his early years, he chose to be alone, just to prevent him from carrying any talk and infamy when he was still a child, even if he later became friendly with Lei Wan, he resolutely denied it, and he was almost harsh and dedicated to his role. She wants to be a good mother, and so far, at least to some extent, she has been doing so.

"Then when the trial is over, I can always see her, right?"

Chiba clenched her lower lip and let the pain grow determination and courage.

"She won't see you anytime soon, she can't do it, so I hope you leave quickly, and we'll talk about it later."

Song Yingchen buried his head sadly, and two silver threads flashed above his head.

"How can I leave her alone, why is she ...... like this"

She felt very guilty, she felt that she didn't have the face to see you, and she was afraid that if you stayed in Lucheng, she would unconsciously think of these things, so she ...... Or you can give her some time, and after serving a certain period of time, maybe she will have the courage to face you. ”

Chiba blushed because she felt that her excuse was losing its original utility as she made it up, and it was so false that it could be broken at the first poke.

"What if it's a death penalty?" Song Yingchen asked lightly, as if he had been mentally prepared.

……

The cup of tea in my hand is already the third dish that has been changed in a day, and now the tea soup tends to be clear again, and the aroma has long been lost.

Xu Lan shook the teacup clockwise, poured the tea into the pool, and then flushed it under the hose and returned to the office.

In the past few days, he has been spinning and turning, and he has basically not closed his eyes, and there is still a round of interrogation to be done, and he must cheer up. So he grabbed the tea leaves and stuffed them into the teacup, and after pouring the boiling water into it, there was a burst of hot steam, and the tea leaves floated and sank in the cup and dispersed.

If the woman she has loved for many years commits a crime, she will be imprisoned and become a prisoner if she is optimistic, and if she is not optimistic, she will be sentenced to death and punished on the spot...... Thinking about this, he felt extremely incompetent.

I have been a police officer for decades and have arrested countless thieves and thieves, but it is the first time I have experienced such a big case. The police are not facing a murderer, but a gang, and as a very important member of it, Lu Meiqin is destined to be killed.

He wanted to help her as much as he had done at the beginning. At that time, Lu Meiqin pulled Song Yingchen alone, and she had to get up early and work in the dark and take care of housework in every detail. He can always show up at a critical moment, even if it is just the inconspicuous work of changing the light bulb and repairing the water pipes, it is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow for the mother and son.

But this time there was really nothing he could do but open the three locks on the door and let her out. However, the reality is very cruel, and even this method is ineffective. The case not only attracted the attention of the city, but also attracted the attention of the province and even the central government.

He inserted his fingers deep into his hair, deliberately pushing hard when touching his scalp, so that the headache would be relieved a little.

Looking at the time, there was still about half an hour left in the next round of interrogation, and he decided to go to see Lu Meiqin again. When the confession is presented and the court begins to hear it, goodbye is not so easy.

The room where Lu Meiqin was being held was near the end of the hallway, and when he reached the door, he tidied up his clothes slightly. Lu Meiqin praised him in front of Yang Qianye today, she should have been happy, but she only felt sad.

If you miss it, you won't come back, this is really a universal truth, but in addition to the cruelty of time, it also has its warm side. With the passage of time, those regrets that cannot be sought, perseverance and persistence will all lose their meaning, as long as the beloved object is healthy, calm and smooth, it is the best gift of love.

Opening the lock, he knocked on the door, not like he was going to inspect the suspect, but more like a visit.

There are two high and low beds in the house, and there are only two suspects, Hui Dongqing and Lu Meiqin. They slept on their lower bunks, all facing the wall with their backs facing outward.

Hearing the movement, Hui Dongqing turned around and immediately sat up.

"Officer."

He raised his hand, indicating that nothing important to her.

"I'll look for her, you sleep with yours."

During the conversation between the two, Lu Meiqin never turned around.

"Lu Meiqin." He screamed.

Still no response.

"Lu Meiqin!" He raised his voice, and suddenly had a bad premonition.

Lu Meiqin, who was lying on her side with her back to her, was always motionless, not like she was asleep......

He quickly turned on the light and rushed up with an arrow step, turning Lu Meiqin over. Hui Dongqing also realized something and hurriedly followed.

The scene in front of them made the two panic, and Hui Dongqing screamed even more.

Lu Meiqin's eyes were round, her pupils were dilated, and there was a hard object in her mouth.

He sniffed and felt the pulse on his neck, which was just a corpse that was still warm and stiffening. Xu Lan shook her body as a stream of blood flowed out of her mouth.

"Mai Trina, Mai Triham! Why are you so stupid......"

Hot tears poured out of her eyes, and Xu Lan could no longer control her collapsed emotions and knelt down in front of the bed.

Lu Meiqin ended her life in an extremely cruel way and took away her hatred completely. She failed to take revenge, and revenge in turn devoured her.
