Chapter 136: The Secret of Summer Time

Gu Song ...... was silent for a moment, Xia Shi's expression became much more relaxed, as if some heavy burden in his heart had finally been removed. You already know what's going on in my house, right? About Xia Jinyu......"

"Hmm." Gu Song nodded and said, "I've already checked the files of the year." To be honest, I didn't expect it to be like this. I ...... now," Gu Song looked at Xia Shi and showed a warm smile, "I don't seem to hate you anymore." If I had known about these things earlier, I think I would have dealt with you in a different way. In that case, our relationship would be much better than it is now, right? ”

"Who knows." Xia Shi shrugged his shoulders and asked, "Do you have smoke?" Give me a pick-me-up. ”

Gu Song took out a box of Chinese cigarettes that Brother Yu had given him before from his pocket, lit one and stuffed it into Xia Shi's mouth. "Can you tell me about the story between you and Xia Jinyu. It is entirely because of him that you have become the focus of the police's suspicion this time, and when it comes to hatred of human traffickers, no one in the entire task force can compare to you. ”

Xia Shi smiled noncommittally and said, "Indeed, I have been full of unforgettable hatred for those people since many years ago, and I even dreamed of breaking those damn guys into pieces. If I hadn't become a police officer, maybe I would have done something I couldn't even have imagined. But since I'm wearing this dress now, I have to take responsibility for who I am and what I do. I will not use my ability to take the lives of others casually, let alone do things that violate the law and discipline in the name of justice. ”

"You became a policeman for Xia Jinyu, right?"

"That's right."

"In order to find the person who hurt Xia Jinyu back then?"

"Yes, finding him, catching him, and watching him walk to the execution ground with my own eyes is the greatest wish of my heart." Xia Shi exhaled a puff of cigarette, and his gaze became distant and deep......

In September 2001, on a sunny and sunny day, a young couple took their four-year-old baby son to play in a park in R City.

Because it's a Sunday, the children's playground is crowded and lively, and there are long queues in front of the ticket windows for many rides. The woman walked slowly behind with the boy by the hand, while the man walked in front with a backpack and a water bottle, turning his head from time to time to laugh with his wife.

As he walked, the boy suddenly took the woman's hand, pointed to an amusement project not far away, and said loudly: "Mom, Mom, I want to take a small train in the forest." ”

The woman looked in the direction of the boy's finger, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Baby, let's take the little train again another day, you see how many people queue up there!" ”

"No, no, I'm going to sit today......" The boy stood coquettishly in place, staring at the man with a pair of big watery eyes, turning his head and saying, "Dad, I want to take the little train." ”

The man laughed helplessly a few times, and stroked the boy's hair lovingly, "Okay, okay, Dad will go to the queue to buy tickets." After speaking, he handed the kettle in his hand to his wife and instructed, "I'll go buy a ticket, you wait for me here for a while, don't walk around." ”

"Okay, then you can go." The woman looked around, pointed to an empty bench under the tree, and said, "We'll sit there and wait for you." ”

Seven or eight minutes later, the man squeezed out of the queue with his ticket. When he came to the bench under the tree with a happy mood humming a song, he found that his wife and son were not there. At that time, mobile phones were not very popular, and it was not very convenient to find people. The man was afraid that he would be separated from his wife, so he did not dare to run around, so he had to sit on a bench and wait quietly for them to return.

I don't know how long it has been, and the man's heart gradually panicked. It wasn't until a police officer approached him and asked him if he was Yin Yu's father that he realized that something might have happened to his son.

It turned out that when the man went to line up to buy a ticket, the wife took her son to the public restroom in the park playground. Because her son was still young, his wife was worried about letting his son go to the men's toilet alone, so she took her son into the women's toilet. After the son finished peeing, his wife asked him to wait obediently by the sink, but when his wife came out of the bathroom, the son was gone.

At first, the wife thought that her son was naughty for a while, and she ran somewhere to play. But after looking for a long time in the vicinity, his wife couldn't find her son. In desperation, she could only call the police and seek help from the police.

It was a happy and beautiful day, but no one expected that a cute and beautiful boy would disappear into the crowded playground like this. Since then, a young couple has lost the most important treasure in their lives, and a whole family has become fragmented. Life fell from heaven to hell in an instant, and they struggled to survive long days and days in remorse and self-blame, just to see their son's innocent smiling face again one day.

In the summer of 2005, the Shandong Provincial Police accidentally rescued a child when they solved a tragic murder. The child's father, mother, grandfather, and grandmother were all killed in that case, and the issue of raising the child is still to be resolved. However, the victim's close relatives have their own reasons and difficulties, and none of them want to accept the poor child. The police had no choice but to temporarily hand the child over to the care of a local welfare home.

Later, when the police were investigating the tragic case, they learned from a close relative that the child had been bought from traffickers by the family who killed him. Because the couple was infertile, and the two old men had been anxious to hold their grandson, the family bought a little boy after discussion.

After learning the news, the Shandong police quickly launched an investigation and searched for the child's biological parents across the country. The hard work paid off, and they finally found the couple who lost their child in a playground four years ago in R City, Sichuan Province. However, God, who is always uneasy about playing tricks, played a cruel joke with them at this time.

Although the child's biological parents were found, not long ago, the injured couple had passed away by suicide.

Because of excessive self-blame, the woman suffered from severe depression from the day the child was lost, and tried to die at home several times, but fortunately, her family found out and stopped it in time. Men have always been by the woman's side, but no matter what method is used, it can't cure the woman's heart disease.

Relatives and friends around them all persuaded them to want to open up a little, take advantage of their youth to have another child, and strive to come out of the shadow of losing their son as soon as possible. But this kind of thing is not something that can be done. Children may be able to regenerate, but painful memories are so ingrained in the mind that it is easier said than done.

Onlookers always think things are simple. Their hearts are good, and the one who can bear the pain is themselves after all. The person who leaves tears for no reason is himself, the person who is so sad that he can't breathe is himself, and the person who is awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night is himself. And how can people who have not experienced the same thing really appreciate the pain of losing a child?

A month ago, a woman turned on the gas while the man was not at home and locked herself in the kitchen. By the time the man returned home, the woman had already lost her vital signs.

Without a son and a wife, the man's heart finally collapsed. In fact, he couldn't stand it for a long time, but he worked tirelessly to save his wife. Now that his wife has chosen to leave him, what else can he do by himself?

A week after his wife's death, the man jumped to his death from a seventh-floor window. The cruel thing is that only twenty days later, their son was sent back to R City by the Shandong police, but it was too late.

For an eight-year-old, such a thing is too cruel.

If it weren't for those damn traffickers, how could a good family say no, no? How can a good child become an orphan all of a sudden?

At that time, Xia Hongming was the deputy director of the R City Public Security Bureau. When he heard about it, he immediately made a decision. He was going to adopt the child and give the wounded soul a place to live and never be hurt again.

At around 6 p.m. on August 24, 2005, 14-year-old Xia Shi came home from school. As soon as he entered the house, he saw a thin, weak, shabby-dressed boy sitting on the floor of the living room, holding his favorite remote-controlled car.

"Hey, who are you?" Xia Shi threw off his shoes, walked quickly towards the living room, and shouted at the boy, "Put my things down, I won't spare you if you break them." ”

The little boy raised his head and looked at Xia Shi in a daze, pursed his lips and did not speak, the expression on his face could not tell whether he was aggrieved or afraid. Xia Shi continued to ask, "Whose child are you?" Who told you to touch my stuff? ”

The boy looked at him, still not answering. Seeing him like this, Xia Shi became angry, snatched the remote-controlled car from the boy's hand, and said to him in a threatening tone: "If you dare to touch my things again, I will ......"

"What are you doing in the summer?" Before Xia Shi could finish speaking, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron suddenly walked out of the kitchen, "How do you talk to your brother?" Who taught you to be so rude? ”

Xia Shi turned his head to look at the woman and complained angrily: "Mom, this is a birthday gift that Uncle Li (then director of the Public Security Bureau) bought for me, it's expensive." ”

"What's wrong with borrowing my brother to play?" The woman said as she snatched the remote-controlled car in Xia Shi's hand and stuffed it back into the boy's hand. "It's broken, I'll buy you a new one. You're already a big kid, can you know how to be humble? ”

"It's okay to be humble, but the question is, who is this rustic child?"

The woman glanced at Xia Shi and introduced, "His name is Xiao Yu." From today onwards, this child will be your little brother. ”

"What do you mean?" Xia Shi didn't understand his mother's words, and asked teasingly, "Is this the illegitimate child that my father brought back?" ”

"Summer time!" The woman shouted angrily, "Don't be rude! ”

"Humph!" Xia Shi glanced coldly at the malnourished, stupid child beside him, and said disdainfully, "I don't want a younger brother, let him go back where he came from." There's no place for him in our house. ”

"Summer, shut up for me!" The woman finally couldn't bear it anymore, raised her hand and slapped Xia Shi fiercely. This slap came unexpectedly, and Xia Shi was stunned in an instant. He has never been beaten by his mother when he is so old, and now he is suffering such a loss for a child of unknown origin, of course he can't swallow this breath in his heart.

Frozen for a moment, he put on his shoes, picked up his school bag, left his trembling mother and bewildered boy, and slammed the door.
