Chapter 156: The Girl Named Tao Tao
Shouldn't Qin Nanxun be in the detention center, how can it be...... After reacting, Qiu Xuan pushed him away almost reflexively and turned around and walked out. Ignoring the fuss of Ah Lian, who was passively attracted, "What happened, shouldn't you be at school at this time", she walked with her head bored and took out her mobile phone.
Jiang Yu had already sent her a number of message notifications before this, and the ringtone rang continuously at the moment she took out her mobile phone, Qiu Xuan connected the phone, and Jiang Yu's anxious voice came from the other end.
"Qin Nanxun is released on bail! And the girl's family didn't know what was going on, and suddenly they said they couldn't attend the trial. His lawyer came this morning and said that there was insufficient evidence and that the coercive measures needed to be changed. ”
"By the way, I had something to do with Yan Hui last night, so I didn't go, I heard that Sang Wanning went to look for you? How are you? ”
"It's not a big deal."
"Qin Nanxun's animal/I am really speechless." It seemed that he was really angry, and after Jiang Yu calmed down, he still couldn't restrain himself and scolded two more sentences. Later, it was barely stopped in the presence of minors and not to swear. "But it's okay, it's just bail, but I guess most of the family was bribed. The girl you know, their family conditions are not very good, after that kind of thing...... Alas. ”
Qiu Xuan listened silently, and suddenly asked, "Is their home in this city, or if you give me the address, I'll ask." ”
Jiang Yu was obviously taken aback. "Are you going to ask, you don't have to go to school...... Oh yes, that's fine, we're going to have to make a trip anyway, so you should go and find a way. Be careful yourself, and call me if you have something. ”
I glanced at the location that I sent over, and found that it was a little out of the way near the suburbs. Qiu Xuan stood at the intersection to take a taxi, she held her mobile phone and breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking that when she went to see Qin Nanxun in the prison room, he really said that he would go to a lawyer and relevant people to solve it.
But of course Qiu Xuan couldn't help him, Jiang Yu and Yan Hui were even more impossible, and according to Ah Lian, the old lady and the housekeeper hadn't been out at all in the past few days. Therefore, the people who came to visit the prison were either those "connections" of Qin Nanxun before, or they were ......
Du Ruo and Qin Xiao.
She seemed to wake up and stood alone at the intersection pondering, not even noticing that the taxi driver was approaching, but still came back to her senses in the master's successive voices.
"Let me see, this place is not ...... It's a little bit off, little girl, what are you doing in the suburbs alone, without an adult? ”
The taxi driver is very familiar and warm-hearted, Qiu Xuan has never been very good at getting along with this kind of person, so she had to make a few perfunctory words to fool the past.
I thought that he would give up if he showed that he didn't want to talk, but I didn't expect that after all, I underestimated the degree of the master's words in the long driving trip.
"Eh, you look like you're still a student, why don't you have to go to school at this point in time?"
The thoughts about Qin Xiao and Du Ruo that had just come to mind were interrupted, Qiu Xuan looked up at him helplessly, and said, "I'm on sick leave." ”
"Ah, how can this be. Did you go to the hospital and did you take any medicine? Alas, like my son, you young people are like this, and you don't care for your body because you are strong, and you will know when you live to my age......"
Qin Xiao may be understandable, but in her conversation with Du Ruo before, it is not difficult to see that Du Ruo does not have much affection for Qin Nanxun, and it can even be said that he is disgusted and heartbroken. Then how could she help Qin Nanxun......
"By the way, little girl, the address you gave me, I said it was so familiar, I remembered it!" The master's mouth didn't stop for a moment, and then he exclaimed: "Few people go there, do you want to find someone, because the houses there are all old-fashioned bungalows similar to the rows, so they are familiar with each other." There used to be a little girl in that family who often took a taxi home, I said that this address is familiar, the little sister seems to go to school in the city and then take a taxi home every month, several times I have driven her! ”
Qiu Xuan paused, and suddenly she didn't blame the master's mouth like a BB machine, she sat up a little straighter, and asked, "Is that girl about ten years old, with a twisted braid with a pink hair rope?" ”
"Oh, yes, yes, that's her! I'll just say you must know each other, are you going to her house now? But I haven't seen her for a long, long time, so I guess she's in her twenties now, right? Alas, time flies really fast. Well? By the way, how do you know what she looked like more than ten years ago? ”
Because her years had stopped there forever. Qiu Xuan was silent for a moment, and finally said, "I looked at the old photos." ”
"Oh, oh, that's right," the noisy master was also quite emotional at the moment, "Then remember to say hello to me when you see her later." ”
"Yes."
But that's not right. Thankfully, the master seemed to be thirsty and tired, and the cramped taxi booth fell silent in the second half of the race. Qiu Xuan leaned against the window of the back seat to look at the beating meter, and now the bright red number was about to jump to 200, not to mention that it was only halfway through the trip.
Taking a taxi from the city center is by no means a cheap price, but Jiang Yu said that the girl's family conditions called "Tao Tao" are not very good. In fact, this "not too good" is only an implicit statement, and from the archives that have been returned, the family's life has always been quite poor, almost poor.
And in this way, how could she spend a taxi fare that was quite expensive for her to go home every month?
Qiu Xuan consciously touched a little surface, and then leaned out slightly and asked the driver, "Do you remember when you first received that girl?" ”
"Ah, how could I possibly remember that, but...... Hmm, let me think about it, it seems like more than ten years ago? She was supposed to be in the sixth grade at the time, I think I heard her classmates talk about that. ”
"But speaking of which, alas, I feel that little girl is a little autistic? Ah, don't get me wrong, I don't mean to be offended! I just think it's a little weird, because it stands to reason that a child at this age wouldn't behave so much to her, even if she is introverted...... Alas, I can't say it well, but I feel like she is living in her own world, and she can't get out by herself and others can't get in. ”
"And...... She's weird. ”
"What's strange?"
"I don't know if I should talk about it...... But if you know each other, you should already know it. The master pondered for a long time and said, "That little girl looks very thin, very thin, and even a little malnourished. But she was still wearing cotton clothes in the summer, can you believe it, and her limbs and face were so thin, but her body seemed to be very bloated. ”
"I checked it when I went back and found that it seemed to be a kind of edema? Alas, hopefully she's better by now. ”
Qiu Xuan opened the file that Jiang Yu passed to her and found the column of incident records of Tao Tao's sixth grade, and she suddenly had a ridiculous idea in her heart.
An hour later, the car slowly drove into a desolate place on the edge of a critical suburb, which was very dilapidated and full of undeveloped wasteland bungalows, and it was almost like entering a different world along the way.
Qiu Xuan paid the money to say goodbye to the driver, and touched all the way according to the location in the address, feeling that this was simply a test of her ability to recognize the way. Fortunately, soon, along the bungalow, she found Tao Tao's residence.
It took a long time for someone to open the door after knocking on the door, and it was a young man who looked to be in his twenties, about the same height as Qiu Xuan, and his face was full of acne pits and oil, and he looked a little abstract.
"I said our family wouldn't attend, don't come back...... Who are you? ”
The young man's arrogant attitude choked up, and he seemed to be a little stunned when he looked at her, and then changed to a slightly obscene and greasy smile. "Who is the little sister looking for, so come at this time?"
"Is Li Qin (Tao Tao's mother) here?"
"Mom? She went out, she went to the market to buy vegetables, what are you looking for her? ”
"You're Tao Tao's younger brother, so it's okay to look for you, do you mind if I go in?"
"Ha, of course I don't mind, come in, you don't have to take off your shoes."
She was led to sit down on the couch and politely refused the young man named Tao Shan who insisted on pouring water for her. She was silent for a while, knowing that judging from the Tao family's previous attitude towards this matter, if she directly asked, "What happened, why are you unwilling to testify in court", she will definitely be kicked out on the spot.
So Qiu Xuan pondered for a while, and suddenly said in the mood that the young man in front of him was waiting a little impatiently: "I am Tao Tao's daughter." ”
“……”
“……”
"Iniquity/Animal! How dare you come back?! ”
In a long, suffocating silence, the wooden door panel on the other side was suddenly pushed open with a force. A middle-aged man with a messy beard strode out, his broad palm slamming against the old wall.
You guessed it. Qiu Xuan thought like this, and turned her head to look at him expressionlessly: "Why don't I dare to come back, what are you afraid of?" ”
"Afraid? Fear! Hehehe, we'll be scared?! The man who looked like a wanted murderer limped along, and Qiu Xuan realized that there seemed to be something wrong with his right leg. He walked straight up to Qiu Xuan, panting and staring at her viciously with a heavy smell of alcohol.
"Haven't you already climbed the high branches of the rich and noble, why, you still want to come back from our little broken place? Hehehe, it's late! It's just a mongrel/species, and it's also worthy of returning to the Tao family? ”
So Tao Tao is indeed pregnant, and her child seems to have been sent away. Qiu Xuan quickly updated the script in her heart, and suddenly, there was another sound of the door opening, and a plainly dressed woman walked in.
"Lao Tao, didn't I tell you that my legs and feet are not good, don't go to the ground...... Yo, who is this? ”
The man snorted coldly. "It's not a little bastard born to your good daughter."
"What did you say?!" The woman put down the basket in her hand, walked quickly, and after seeing Qiu Xuan's face clearly, her expression darkened for a moment.
"How dare you come back?" She said, "It's not shameful enough for our family, is it?" ”
"Lose, people." Qiu Xuan laughed, and her eyes only looked at the table covered with old dirt, as if a flower had bloomed on it. She suddenly said, "How much money did Qin Nanxun give you?" ”
"What did you say?"
"How much money did Qin Nanxun give you so that you don't testify in court?" She suddenly stood up and said sharply in front of the three people: "It's cowardly enough not to choose to call the police at the time of the crime, but now when everyone is dead, do you still take the abuser's money and choose to be silent?!" Can you understand it, the only person who is wrong in this matter is Qin Nanxun, and it has always been only the one who is at fault with the bystanders! Aren't you her family, blood relatives, what did you do when she was in pain and despair! ”
"Let an eleven-year-old girl have a baby alone! After the child is born, ignore it and send it away! Take the offender's money and keep silent! Ignore the sins of the daylight! ”
"I keep saying 'I am devastated by my daughter/sister's death,' but do you know that you drove her to death with your own hands! What's the difference between you/your mother and Qin Nanxun's dog?! Yes!! ”
She remembered the young and restrained smiling face of the little girl on the file, and combined with the taxi driver's few words, she sketched the girl wearing a cotton coat and holding her stomach in the hot summer, only to feel a cold chill spreading uncontrollably from the soles of her feet.
She stared at the three people in front of her, her body trembling with excessive emotions, just as angry and sad as when she learned of Lu Zhaokun's death.
In this world, there are always people who are carrying heavy loads, and there are always people who use their bodies to block the darkness behind them. But what is chilling is that there are more people hiding in the dark, thinking about how to destroy this hard-won light.
For a moment, she held a grudge against the ruler who was called "Darkness". Not only because he was chosen as this bullshit executioner, but also because of "it's" indifference and ignorance. Even she knew that the act itself was a form of anger.
Father Tao came back to his senses, and his face immediately turned red with anger.
"Where did you come from, get out of here! You are not welcome in our house! ”
"Heh, I hope you can be so hard when you look at your daughter's bones." She didn't want to talk any more nonsense, so as soon as she opened the door, she raised her feet and walked out, and by the way, she sent this recording to Jiang Yu, asking him to help find out where Tao Tao's real daughter was.
The scorching sun of October exudes a bone-chilling coldness.
Qiu Xuan raised her head and felt her eyes stinged with the scorching light. She stood there for a moment, then walked back down the road.
"Wait a minute!"
A female voice behind her stopped her, and Qiu Xuan turned around. Seeing Tao Tao's mother, the woman named Li Qin, was turning back to the door and saying, "I forgot to buy an egg and go out again!" Then he walked briskly towards himself.
