Chapter 20: Xie Jing
Theoretically, Xie Shuo's character is very simple, probably about the same level as the fishmonger and butcher who died before, no, he should be even more unpopular, he is considered a scum in society, and everyone avoids it. This kind of dead-skinned person is a necessary add-on to society, how can such a simple little person be mixed with a big conspiracy?
After thinking about it, I feel that some people are smaller than grasshoppers and have bigger hearts than tigers and wolves, and the little people usually accept less kindness, and there are more evil thoughts in their hearts, and it is really hard to say what they can do.
At present, Xie Shuo has two relationship lines, one is his sister, and the other is a person in Li Lao's restaurant. Under normal circumstances, these people should have scoffed at Xie Shuo and avoided it, knowing that he was dead, they would definitely beat gongs and drums to celebrate for a few days, and I don't know if they could get some useful information from them.
Chu Xiu chatted with a young man who led the way, and turned back to the group of people behind him
"Big guy, this road is still some distance from Li Lao's wine shop, but it is two alleys away from Xie Jing's house, let's go to Xie Jing's house first."
Xie Lingxu said with a sad face, "Hey...... Nearby, we should go to the restaurant in front of us first-eat. ”
Chu Xiu looked up at the sky, "Isn't this still early?" ”
"I've been hungry lately."
"When did you get hungry?"
Xie Lingxu thought for a while, "When you are brain-stricken, when your physical strength is high." ”
"Are there times when you're not hungry?"
"Oh when you sleep! But if I have complicated dreams, I also feel hungry very quickly. ”
Chu Xiu had an expression on his face that was about to kneel, "Grandpa, what kind of rare species are you here?" ”
Xie Lingxu pursed his lips helplessly, thinking that this is a disease, waiting for treatment.
"Hey...... I'm so hungry that I don't have the strength to do it, or you'll have to drag me away later. ”
Chu Xiu thought about it now, and now the brains of the boss and Lingxu can turn, if Lingxu's physical strength is not enough, and the boss doesn't speak, then the Underworld Army can only stare at the dead man and pick his head. Lian promised her
"Okay, okay, what your old man says, why don't I pack a table for you after the meal and replenish your energy at any time?"
Xie Lingxu's eyes lit up, "Good idea." ”
Passing through two narrow alleys, Xie Jing's home is in front of you.
Her home is a small house, presumably the living conditions are not bad, and an old acacia next to the main entrance grows crookedly, inexplicably adding some vicissitudes of life.
Walking into Xie Jing's house, Xie Lingxu found that she was wrong, looking at the layout and decoration of her home, it really can't be regarded as a good condition, the corners of the old tables and chairs have decayed a lot, and the wood has changed color over the years and there has been no new addition, as if every bit in the house is making do to support this home.
When everyone walked into Xie Jing's house, she was walking towards the main door, planning to go out, and when she saw the Underworld Army outside the door, her eyes flashed with a hint of horror, and she paused and asked
"Who are you, and what are you doing at my house?"
Xiao Qixin, who had just reconciled with Lingxu and the meeting, replied, "The Underworld Army is handling the case, and I am looking for you to ask some questions." ”
Xie Jing looked impatient, "I don't have time, I'm going to work in the dyeing workshop now." ”
Xiao Qixin stopped Xie Jing, who was walking straight towards the door: "Your brother Xie Shuo is dead, do you know?" ”
Xie Jing's expression darkened, and then she looked indifferent, "I heard about it, so what!" ”
Xie Lingxu saw that her expression was not a little sad and sad, and thought that the relationship between the two was really not very good.
Xiao Qixin: "I'll ask you now, how many people are in your family?" ”
"Me, my daughter."
Xiao Qixin: "What about your husband?" ”
Xie Jing glared at him fiercely: "It's dead." ”
"How did you die?"
"What's your business!" Xie Jing's expression was a little angry, and she pushed Xiao Qixin away and was about to walk out the door.
Xie Lingxu thought to himself about how the big man around him softened when he saw a woman, and even Chu Xiu, who pretended to be quite good at forcing in front of outsiders, stood still. It seems that at this time, there is only one way to be domineering in person.
Xie Lingxu walked in front of Xie Jing in three or two steps, and closed the door of her house with a muffled sound.
Xie Jing: "What are you doing?" ”
Xie Lingxu said with a cold face: "Make it clear, now that you are a suspect, we are interrogating you, I really think that I am a Bodhisattva and want to make offerings!" ”
Xie Jing was stunned: "You ......"
Xie Lingxu: "Honestly talk to us at home, if you have to go out, now immediately escort you to the Nine Governors' Gate, where you want to go, you choose!" ”
Xie Jing couldn't help but feel that her legs were weak, and she felt that the eyes of the person in front of her were like knives, and they were terrifyingly cold. She lowered her head, walked to a nearby chair and sat down, staring blankly at the ground in front of her.
Xiao Qixin carefully inquired about Xie Jing's situation with her brother, and Xie Lingxu felt meaningless when he heard their questions and answers, so he walked around the room.
The walls of the house are soaked with a lot of water stains, and cobwebs can be seen everywhere in the corners, which seems to be the owner's negligence. Xie Lingxu walked to a hanging cloth stained with oil and gas, and lifted the pitch-black hanging cloth, which was separated by a curtain.
Xie Lingxu looked at the utensils in the kitchen, most of the few bowls and utensils were cracked, large and small, looking at the color and shape of the kitchen board, it is estimated that it has not been changed all year round, Xie Lingxu thought to himself how many bacteria must be on it.
Looking at the dilapidated kitchen and the antique-like utensils inside, Xie Lingxu suddenly stopped in front of a kitchen knife hanging on the wall. Judging by the color and sharpness of this knife, it should have been bought not long ago, but there are inverted dents at the edge of the knife, and the blade surface is very unsmooth. Xie Lingxu thought to himself, this knife is used to cut bones, right?
I picked up the knife and sniffed closer, only to feel that there was no smell of minced meat or fruits and vegetables on the blade, but there was a faint smell of locust flowers stained with dust.
Chu Xiu, who was following behind Xie Lingxu, saw the person in front of him hunched over and sniffed the kitchen knife, and his eyes were about to fall out in surprise, so he stepped forward and asked
"Lingxu, you...... What are you doing? ”
Xie Lingxu straightened up and waved his hand at him, "Go out." ”
Back in the main hall, Xie Lingxu looked at Xie Jing, who was sitting listlessly in front of him, his face was like ashes, no different from a corpse, but his tone was still very tough when he answered Xiao Qixin, and he couldn't help but sigh and asked
"Xie Jing, you just bought a knife recently, right?"
Xie Jing raised her eyes, "What's the matter, the previous knife was blunt, and I bought a new one." ”
Xie Lingxu: "I see that the curtain outside the kitchen is stained with oil stains and has not been changed, you live a very frugal life." ”
Xie Jing was silent.
Xie Lingxu slipped outside the door, stretched out his hand to the staggered dents on the thick trunk of the old locust tree on the side of the door, and asked in an uncertain tone
"You bought a knife to chop wood?"
Xiao Qixin saw Xie Jing's expression obviously panicked, and fidgeted and pulled his sleeves restlessly.
Xie Lingxu stood with his arms crossed, "I guess, you are not chopping wood, you are practicing your hands." You want to kill. ”
Xie Jing stood up excitedly
"Yes, I wanted to kill him, didn't he deserve to die? Shouldn't someone like him deserve to die? ”
Xiao Qixin said, "Xie Jing, he is your brother." ”
"Hmph, he's not my brother...... He's not a human at all, he's a demon, he's an evil demon, he's a parasite attached to me that I can't shake off, a useless and shameless person like him...... He deserves to live in this world! ”
Xiao Qixin: "You hate him so much? ”
Xie Jing chewed tears and looked at Xiao Qixin: "What do you know!" Xie Shuo eats me, relies on me, do I owe him? Why did he do this to me? Just because I was born to him as a mother, do I have to raise him? is a good family, do you know what it looks like to be harmed by him! My husband...... I can't stand this sin, the year before last...... I left our mother and daughter the year before last, Yin Yin is only ten years old, do you know how I have lived all these years? Xie Shuo, if he still had the slightest conscience, he wouldn't still hold on to us! ”
Xie Lingxu thought to himself, this family was once able to buy a small mansion, it seems that the conditions in the past were still good, not even a family that has to live together, I think it is because of Xie Shuo that he has been dragged down to this point, and he is living so poorly.
Chu Xiu said to Xie Lingxu with a sigh on his face: "The family is unfortunate, I didn't expect that my sister would kill my brother." ”
"It's not."
Chu Xiu: "Huh? ”
Xie Lingxu looked at Chu Xiu, who was staring at Tongren's big eyes, and said
"She wanted to kill, but she shouldn't have done it. As I said, Xie Shuo was injured by a heavy object on the head, not by a knife. ”
Xie Jing: "I wanted to kill him, I dreamed of it, but ...... But on the day I was ready to do it, I relented, and he called me sister, and I ...... I remembered the old days. My parents died early, my brother and I have been dependent on each other since childhood, and I was bullied, but my brother protected me, and at that time, my brother ...... It's my reliance. But...... But what about now? He's not the same person he used to be, he's changed, he's just a ...... The demon who eats people and does not spit out bones is not a pity to die! ”
Xie Lingxu saw that Xie Jing's crying appearance was gone, and he silently lowered his head and didn't look at her
"It's me who is too cowardly...... endured for more than ten years, but in the end, he didn't have the courage to pick up a knife and fight against injustice. I have suffered the sins of half my life, and I thought that I could only live like this for the rest of my life, God has eyes...... God has eyes, Xie Shuo is finally dead, I don't have to be tortured anymore, I don't have to ...... anymore Tortured ......"
Xie Jing knelt on the ground with a thud, as if she couldn't cry anymore.
Xie Lingxu only felt that the woman in front of him had lived in the shadows like a puppet for half her life, and now Xie Shuo's death had nothing to do with her, and there was no need to entangle with her too much, so it might be the best choice to let her cry here alone for a few hours.
Leaving Xie Jing's house, Xie Lingxu saw that Chu Xiuliang hadn't recovered from the crying of the talented woman for a long time, and couldn't help but scold him
"Chu Xiu, are you used to staying in the military camp, haven't you seen people in the world? What is there to sigh about for a long time. ”
Chu Xiu: "Lingxu, why don't you feel a little emotional?" ”
"What's there to be emotional, isn't this something we take for granted?"
"Huh? What is taken for granted? ”
If you don't understand Chu Xiu, Xie Lingxu will have a hard time paying attention to him.
Xiao Qixin, who was behind him, secretly asked Youwangdao, "Boss, Qixin doesn't understand why Xie Lingxu knows so much about the investigation of the case." ”
King You looked at the thin back of the woman in front of him, and said in an indifferent tone
"Some people are born with the ability to see what others have not seen, hear what others have not heard, and understand what others have not known, and you don't need to ask more questions if you can't understand them."
