Volume I: Chapter 49: Imprisoned (3)
The reception room of the Linglu Bureau Mengde is luxuriously decorated, with modern dΓ©cor with retro tones, and the sedate furniture is paired with technological products, which makes people feel bright. However, the two men sitting in the reception room were not in the mood to watch this. Chen Xuan was wearing the most modest clothes and no makeup, losing his original radiant image, just sitting quietly and anxiously on the sofa and waiting. But Xiahou Yuan couldn't sit still, he walked back and forth in the reception room, and looked in the direction of the door from time to time.
At this time, the door opened, Chen Xuan stood up from the sofa, Xiahou Yuan also stopped walking, and the two looked over and saw that it was Guo Jia and Cao Ren who walked in from outside the door. Guo Jia glanced at Xiahou Yuan, then at Chen Xuan behind him, and sighed softly, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.
Cao Ren also stood on the side in a daze, he had a very close relationship with the Xiahou brothers, but the more at this time, the more difficult it was for the people who were close to him to speak, and, after all, he acted with Xiahou Tang that day, and when such a thing happened, Cao Ren also felt a little guilty in his heart.
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Xiahou Yuan spoke: "Who can give me an explanation?" β
"Xiahou, don't worry." Guo Jia didn't dare to look at Xiahou Yuan, so he had to put his eyes on the vase on the coffee table on the side, "If something like this happens, we can't do anything about it." β
"That's it, isn't it?" Xiahou Yuan slapped on the tall cabinet on the side and shouted, "I came all the way from Yandu just to listen to you let out this fart?" β
"Brother Yuan, don't be angry." Cao Ren stepped forward and said to Xiahou Yuan.
"Don't be angry?" Xiahou Yuan smiled bitterly, his voice trembling a little, "Why don't I get angry?" My brother was framed and is now locked up in the interrogation room, and he will be handed over to the council tomorrow, and it is very likely that he will not be able to come back. My sister-in-law is now pregnant, and my sister doesn't know about it, but you can tell me so calmly that I don't get angry! β
"Xiao Yuan, don't be in a hurry with others." At this time, Chen Xuan walked over, although her expression was sad, she patted Xiahou Yuan's back to give him comfort, and at the same time, she held back her tears and said to Guo Jia: "Just now, a chief with glasses has come in to explain the matter clearly, I know that you are also embarrassed, I just want to see my lover." β
"This ......" Guo Jia glanced at Cao Ren with some difficulty, then looked at Chen Xuan, and said: "According to the rules, it should be in the council, but you will definitely not be able to see him today, and they will not give instructions until tomorrow after Xiahoudun is sent to the council, and decide not to let you see him." β
"Is it ......" Chen Xuan's tears finally flowed. From the moment she received the news, she has never been able to recover from this sudden disaster. The reason why I want to follow Xiahou Yuan over, in addition to having the obligation to preside over this family as the eldest sister-in-law, the most important thing is that I hope to come here to see my lover with my own eyes, see if he is good, whether he has suffered any crimes, and have a concept in his heart. And now, there may not be such an opportunity to meet the last one, Chen Xuan's heart is completely broken.
"I'm sorry, Xiahoudun is a fighting spirit, and everything about him must be subject to the management body of the fighting spirit, that is, the council of the Spirit Recording Bureau." Guo Jia explained, with a look of helplessness and guilt on his face.
"Let them meet." Suddenly, with a voice outside the door, Xun Yu walked in from outside, with a nonchalant expression on his face, "Even if the council lets them meet, they may not be able to see it." β
Cao Ren saw that it was Xun Yu who came in, and thought that Xun Yu just ignored Xiahoudun's safety and only wanted to protect himself, so he couldn't help but sneer, twisted his head to the side, and ignored him.
"What do you mean by that?" Guo Jia asked in surprise when he heard Xun Yu say this.
"Nothing." Na Xun Yu smiled disdainfully, shrugged his shoulders, and then said, "I'm afraid that he won't survive the meeting." β
"What did you say!" After hearing this, Xiahou Yuan stepped forward and grabbed Xun Yu's collar, and shouted, "You tell me again!" β
Xun Yu opened Xiahou Yuan's hand and said, "Why are they all so rude!" β
"Obuchi!" Chen Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to grab Xiahou Yuan, and hurriedly apologized to Xun Yu, "I'm sorry, it's my brother who is too rude, I'm really sorry." Is there any way you can take us to my lover? β
Guo Jia also asked, "Yes, Xun Yu, how can you have a way to let the two of them see Xiahoudun?" β
"Of course there is a way." Xun Yu smiled proudly, glanced at Guo Jia, and then took out a card from his arms and handed it to Chen Xuan, "This is a one-time entry card." β
"W-where did you get this?" Guo Jia looked at the card with a surprised expression, "Isn't this something that only the people of the council have?" β
"Yes," Xun Yu nodded slightly, put his hands in his pockets, and then leaned against the cabinet next to him, "I just asked Li Wei for it, I said that I wanted to ask Xiahou Dun." β
As soon as Cao Ren heard this, he glanced at the single-entry card, and then at Xun Yu, and thought suspiciously, what kind of medicine is sold in this Xun Yu gourd? Just now, he was still cursing Xiahoudun there, but now he is beginning to care about Xiahoudun's relatives again.
Chen Xuan took the card and said excitedly: "Thank you, thank you so much." β
Xiahou Yuan saw that Xun Yu had indeed come up with a way to help them, and he also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was reckless just now. β
"Alright, I don't need you to apologize." Xun Yu smiled at Xiahou Yuan, and said to Cao Ren on the side: "Team Leader Cao, can you please take his uncle and sister-in-law to the interrogation room for you?" β
"Huh?" Cao Ren was still speculating about Xun Yu's psychology on the side, but at this time, Xun Yu gave an order, and reacted for a while before saying, "Oh, okay." With that, he took Xiahou Yuan and Chen Xuan out.
Guo Jia looked back and saw that Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, and Chen Xuan had all left the reception room, so he gave Xun Yu a look. Xun Yu nodded, stepped forward and patted Guo Jia's left shoulder, and removed the small flickering light spot that originally had there there from his left shoulder. Xun Yu threw the small dot of light on the ground, and then trampled on it with his foot.
"It turned out to be a voice bearer," Guo Jia coughed twice, and then asked Xun Yu, "That's good?" β
"It's enough for him to think about it for half a night." Xun Yu smiled smugly and replied.
"You say, is Xiahoudun demonized?" Guo Jia sighed and asked.
"Of course it's demonized!" Xun Yu said categorically, "I also went to the scene to see it, whether it is the autopsy results or the on-site magic obstacle detection, the conclusion is that Xiahoudun killed people after demonization, this is a conclusive conclusion and cannot be disputed, so as long as Xiahoudun is handed over to the council, the council will definitely seal Xiahoudun's fighting spirit." Then he took out a bank card from his pocket, handed it to Guo Jia, and said, "By the way, you go back and help me give this card to Xiahou Yuan, I have deposited some money in this card, which is my personal meaning." β
"Uh-oh." Guo Jia took the card, thinking that he was praising Xun Yu and saying that he valued love and righteousness, but at this time, the more he said this, the more uncomfortable it would be. So Guo Jia changed his words and said, "Oh, do you still have a small treasury?" β
"What! That's a small treasury? Let's go to the ball. After listening to Guo Jia's words, Xun Yu pushed his eyes with his hand, "This is what I wanted to do with my daughter-in-law yesterday, and my daughter-in-law almost let me sleep on the street." β
Guo Jia couldn't help laughing after hearing this, then looked at the bank card in his hand, and asked with a serious face: "By the way, I forgot to ask you just now, there was such a big event, why didn't you come in person?" β
"In person? When did you see him deal with things himself? Xun Yu heard Guo Jia ask, and his expression suddenly showed a hint of disgust, "He said that he hadn't finished handling his affairs, why did he come in person?" β
With that, Xun Yu left.
Chen Xuan and Xiahou Yuan followed Cao Ren to the lobby of the investigation building, and under Cao Ren's guidance, Chen Xuan walked to the elevator door that led to the underground interrogation room.
"Sister-in-law, I'll send you here." Xiahou Yuan stood behind Chen Xuan, looked at Chen Xuan's back, took a deep breath, looked at Chen Xuan with a sad face and said.
Chen Xuan turned around, looked at Xiahou Yuan, walked in front of Xiahou Yuan again, thought for a while, and then asked, "Xiao Yuan, do you have anything you want to say to your brother?" β
Xiahou Yuan's mind was a mess at this time, he worked hard to sort out his thoughts, and then controlled his emotions and said to Chen Xuan: "Just say it to my sister-in-law, what my sister-in-law said is what Xiaoling and I want to say." β
Chen Xuan listened, nodded, then took out the card given by Xun Yu before, looked at Cao Ren and said, "Please tell me how to get in." β
Cao Ren nodded, stepped forward, pointed to the card slot next to the elevator and said, "You swipe this card, and the elevator door will open." β
"Okay." Chen Xuan replied weakly, did as Cao Ren said, and got on the elevator.
"It won't take more than ten minutes, and then the security guard at the door will come in and call you." Cao Ren said.
Chen Xuan didn't answer, just nodded, glanced at Xiahou Yuan again, and pressed the closing button of the elevator.
Seeing that the elevator door was closed, Cao Ren turned his head to look at Xiahou Yuan and said, "I have wronged you." β
"Grievances, not only grievances." Xiahou Yuan didn't look at Cao Ren, his eyes were still on the elevator door that had just closed.
Cao Ren stretched out his hand and wanted to pat Xiahou Yuan's shoulder, but he felt that this action was a little redundant at this time, so he had to say with some guilt: "I'm sorry, we also want to save Xiahou Yuan, but we can't do anything." β
"Let me ask you," Xiahou Yuan's gaze finally moved to Cao Ren, "Did my brother kill anyone?" β
Cao Ren looked at Xiahou Yuan's angry gaze, took a long breath, and replied, "Kill." β
"Why kill? You all know my brother wouldn't do that kind of thing. Xiahou Yuan continued.
"I don't know." Cao Ren shook his head, "The situation was so sudden that none of us reacted. β
"Didn't react?" Xiahou Yuan's expression became even more angry, "You just want to perfunctory me with this sentence?" My brother was on duty with you, and when such a situation happened, you didn't even know anything! β
Cao Ren didn't dare to look at Xiahou Yuan's eyes again, he really didn't know why Xiahou Yuan did that kind of thing that night. But at the time of the incident, he was indeed by Xiahoudun's side. This made Cao Ren extremely guilty, he knew Xiahoudun's family situation, and he also knew the weight of Xiahoudun in the family, if Xiahoudun couldn't go back, then this would be a devastating blow to the family. So Cao Ren didn't say much, but silently walked out of the hall and lit a cigar.
