Chapter 46: The Strange Light in the Fruit Shop
In the eyes of Gao Yue and He Bin, Ah Tian has a major suspicion.
But this is just speculation, and there is no evidence whatsoever. They went to the traffic police department to check the relevant circumstances of Lawyer Tang's accident that day, but they were also closed.
These days, they have discussed many times, thought of many ways, but they can't find a suitable way to expose Ah Tian's crimes, and most importantly, no one will believe their speculation.
"However, I feel that it is not necessarily Ah Tian who did it alone, such a complicated thing is extremely evil, how capable can he be as an auxiliary policeman? I think there are still people manipulating behind this......" Gao Yue said to He Bin.
"Yes, I also think that if you give him a lot of courage, you don't dare to do these things. So, who would put so much effort into doing such a hurtful thing? It's foggy! Hey...... Big brother, I thought of a good idea! He Bin said suddenly.
"Tell me about it!" Gao Yue immediately asked,
"Let's go get a private detective! Now that the industry is very developed, their technological means are also very advanced, as long as they can pay a high price, they will definitely be able to find the answer! He Bin said excitedly.
"yes. It makes sense, we still have to do something, otherwise, if we find another lawyer to intervene, I am afraid that we will also be ...... Alas! Gao Yue sighed.
"You have a lot of options, you take the time to look for which private detective company is the best, and then we will discuss it. Be careful, always keep it confidential. Gao Yue continued.
"Good. It must be done! He Bin's voice was deep and powerful.
"It's almost the New Year, you go back first, and then come back to work on this matter when the New Year is over. During this time, you are also volunteering to help, it's not easy, brother, thank you for your hard work! Gao Yue patted him on the shoulder.
"Big brother, what is our relationship? Don't talk about this, anyway, my current business is also on track, and there is time...... Well, I'll do this after the New Year, after all, no one will go to work after the New Year. He Bin smiled.
"Let's go, let's go have a drink! I've been really depressed lately, and I'm very hesitant...... Especially after going to Tianyue Mansion, I felt a sense of trepidation all over my body......" Gao Yue put his arm on his shoulder.
The two walked to the food stall across the community.
As he passed Xiao Yong's fruit shop, Gao Yue stopped. He found that there was a light inside! It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and the surrounding shops were closed, so the glimmer of light through the crack in the door of the fruit store was very dazzling.
Could it be that Xiaoxue is back?! Wasn't she sent to a psychiatric hospital?
The two of them looked at each other.
Do you want to knock on the door and take a look? He Bin gave Gao Yue a look.
Gao Yue took out a cigarette and lit it. He had to think about it.
After two minutes, Gao Yue threw away the cigarette butt and nodded to He Bin. They walked to the side of the sliding gate, He Bin slapped it a few times, and shouted, "Is there anyone?" ”
There was no sound inside.
Gao Yue shouted a few more words, his voice was louder, but he still didn't respond.
They slapped a few more times, but there was still no response. He stopped, turned and walked away. When he walked to the zebra crossing, Gao Yue looked back and found that the light inside the sliding gate was suddenly turned off!
Gao Yue's expression changed drastically.
He Bin also noticed it, and he was also surprised.
"Big brother, there must be someone inside." He said.
"Well, if it's someone, it must be Xiaoxue! But when did she return? Why not open the door? Gao Yue's face was full of doubts.
"It's been almost a month since Ah Qin's accident last time. Got out of a psychiatric hospital so quickly? He Bin also felt strange.
"Big brother, I think this Xiaoxue is also a little strange...... It's also a bit suspicious! He Bin continued.
"Alas! Forget it, she's pretty pitiful. Don't think about it so much. Let's go have a drink. Now my whole mind is bloated, drink a few more drinks and get a good night's sleep! Gao Yue said.
The food stalls are still bustling with people.
Looking at the bursts of oil smoke rising from those stalls, and the crowd shouting and laughing, Gao Yue seemed to have found the breath of life, and the gloomy images in his mind slowly dissipated.
Alcohol anesthetizes people, makes people forget unhappiness and depressed emotions, and a man really can't do without wine all his life. Gao Yue raised his glass and drank it in a big gulp. He probably wanted to get drunk and rest, and He Bin had to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman.
"It's the New Year, brother, you go back tomorrow, tonight's supper is a dinner for our brothers to celebrate the New Year!" Gao Yue raised his wine glass and touched it vigorously with He Bin.
"I wish you a prosperous business and a younger life! Find a wife and have a son as soon as possible! Gao Yue said loudly.
"Hahaha...... Big brother, I wish you ...... too Happy every day, less trouble, come, Happy New Year! We've had this drink! He Bin's interest also soared.
……
"Alas, looking back on this year, it was really wonderful. In this life, I have lived until now, and it is the first time I have encountered so many bizarre, bloody and terrifying things! And...... In the following days, I didn't know how to deal with it...... Oh, actually, these bird things, what is my business? He Bin, you say, isn't it?! If it weren't for Ah Qin being involved, I wouldn't have been fucking lazy! This Xiaoyong, I don't know what's wrong now? It looks like it's going to be the New Year in the detention center, alas! I just have a soft heart sometimes...... Is that right? Gao Yue began to talk more.
"Big brother, I've always said that you are too good-hearted and soft-hearted, and you don't believe it. Sometimes, people have to be hard-hearted so that they don't get into too much unnecessary trouble! He Bin said loudly.
"Alas. The character is like this, the country is easy to change. Here, toast! Gao Yue raised his glass again.
"It's rare to get drunk a few times in life! Good! Done! He Binhao was angry.
After eating a few bites of food, He Bin suddenly asked:
"Big brother, how is Ah Qin doing? I haven't seen her in days. ”
"She. Every day is sad and worried, worried about Xiaoyong. No, it's almost the New Year, she is even more anxious, and asks me every day to find a way to go to the trust relationship, so that Xiaoyong can come out for the New Year as soon as possible. A few days ago, Xiaoyong's parents also came over, and Ah Qin also took leave to accompany them for two or three days, as if she was already their daughter-in-law, alas! This girl, what an infatuation! Gao Yue sighed lightly.
He Bin listened, and a trace of unhappiness flashed on his face.
"You kid, haven't you put it down yet? Or do you like Aqin? Gao Yue glared at him, "But...... To be honest, if Ah Qin follows you, maybe your life will be happier in the future! Now this Xiaoyong, I don't know if I can come out, although we all think he is innocent, but there is no evidence, so we can only hang it there, alas......"
He Bin smiled bitterly and didn't say anything.
"Brother, how can everything go well in life? Come on, have a drink! Gao Yue raised his glass again.
"Oh yes, what's wrong with Han Bing? Big brother, have you been to see her recently? He Bin asked.
"These days are busy, and we have to catch up with the performance at the end of the year...... Didn't go. Gao Yue replied.
"Tomorrow morning, after the meeting, I'll go see her. After all, it's almost the New Year, and this year, she is going to spend it in the ward, alas, it feels ...... when you think about it," Gao Yue continued.
"Then when you celebrate the New Year, you can also go to see her more, I feel that with your appearance, her mental state is much better and she recovers faster!" He Bin laughed.
……
Gao Yue was drunk.
He Bin's condition was fine, and he helped Gao Yue back to the community.
It was pitch black all around, and when he passed by the fruit store, the careful He Bin found that the light that had been extinguished just now was on again.
A strange and incomparably cold feeling slowly climbed up from He Bin's spine.
In a blink of an eye, a year is about to pass.
In the afternoon, Gao Yue sat quietly in the office, staring out the window. Sunlight shines through the windows and into the room, casting oval-shaped patches of light on the ground. …… Gao Yue suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he always liked to step on the light spot, the purpose was to block the light spot and prevent it from shining in, however, at this time, the light spot had crawled all over his body, but he didn't know it, and he smirked proudly...... At the moment, the adults are always snickering behind their backs.
Oh, yes...... When I was a child, I was always afraid of the sun and longed for the Spring Festival, but now? Always longing for the warm sun, afraid of the Spring Festival...... It's just that the days that Gao Yue misses are actually not much that are really worth commemorating...... Those memories, those people who had been together, all went their separate ways, and when he thought of this, he was so sad that it was as if the world had turned to ashes, and all around him was a bustling desert...... Although I don't have much friendship with many people, and I don't even talk much when I'm really together, as long as I think of the stories and voices in those memories, their backgrounds still haven't changed...... Looking at a few old photos on the desk in the office, the people in the former paintings are already close to the end of the world, and perhaps, even if they meet, there is only a suppressed silence...... As soon as he thought of this, Gao Yue began to feel sad again......
The sunlight awakened his contemplation, Gao Yue raised his head, looked at the clear blue sky with grateful eyes, he stood up, walked to the window, and lit a cigarette.
Gao Yue calculated that he hadn't been to the hospital to see Han Bing for a whole week. I wonder how she's recovering now? I haven't been there for so long, she must have cursed me to death in her heart...... Gao Yue thought to himself.
He walked out of the company and went to the boutique to buy a music box, wrapped it and gave it as a New Year's gift.
When he arrived at the hospital, Gao Yue gently pushed open the door and found a man sitting inside.
The man sat on the edge of the bed, very close, he chatted happily with Han Bing, and laughed from time to time.
How can there be a man? Because his back was to the door, Gao Yue couldn't see his appearance clearly.
There is talk and laughter, is it her boyfriend? Gao Yue muttered in his heart.
He thought about it and didn't go in. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Han Bing's voice came:
"Big brother, you're here! Come on in. ”
"Yes, you have guests, so I won't bother......" Gao Yue hurriedly said.
"It's okay, big brother, come in quickly." Han Bing hurriedly said.
"Come, big brother, let me introduce you, this is me...... The real big brother, Han Ting. Han Bing said, "Brother, this is Gao Yue that I often talk about, Brother Gao." ”
Gao Yue saw a young man with a lofty spirit, with a cool hairstyle, from the temples up, those hairs stood up firmly, looking very energetic. He turned his head and held out his hand enthusiastically.
"Brother Gao, hello! I'm Han Ting, and it's an honor to meet you! He looked very modest and clenched Gao Yue's hand.
Gao Yue smiled, and suddenly had a good impression of this young man.
"It's a blessing. Wow, Han Bing, your brother is so handsome! Gao Yue smiled.
"Where, Brother Gao, fortunately you are here, otherwise, my sister's accident this time would be even more troublesome! Thank you so much! Han Ting also laughed.
Gao Yue suddenly felt that his smile was very warm, very similar to the male protagonist in a Korean drama.
"Big brother, don't praise my brother, we are genetically as strong. I'm so beautiful, can't my brother be handsome? Han Bing grinned.
"Haha, yes, yes." Gao Yue said with a smile.
"Big brother, sit down. I'll pour you a glass of water. "Han Ting is very welcoming.
"You're welcome...... Han Bing, I bought you a New Year's gift, I think you should like it, because my daughter likes this very much...... Hee-hee. Gao Yue handed the gift to Han Bing.
"Big brother, thank you." Han Bing couldn't wait to open the flower paper, and was very happy to see the colorful music box.
"I like it, I like it." She hurriedly opened the button behind her, and the music immediately started, "It's so stuffy in the ward, just enough to listen to this, it's great." ”
"Oh yes, big brother, thank you for the tweed. Change a batch every three days, the mail comes over, it's beautiful, I like it every time! She pointed to the flowers on the countertop.
Gao Yue then remembered the flower package she ordered online last week.
"If you like it...... I'm worried that you're too stuffy......" Gao Yue said.
"Big brother, I also call you big brother, right? …… You're so good. Han Ting looked at Gao Yue and said.
"Yes, Brother Gao is my best friend. Of course you can call it Big Brother. Han Bing said loudly.
"Oh yes, didn't you say your brother was in Australia last time?" Gao Yue asked.
"He came back for the holiday, he knew about my injury last month and was about to come back, I said I'd better wait for the Spring Festival to go back together." Han Bing replied.
"Oh, alas...... This year, you are going to spend the Spring Festival in the ward. Gao Yue sighed.
"It's fine. It's a different experience. Han Bing grimaced.
……
"Okay, you guys keep talking, I'm going to see a patient again...... It also happens to be in this hospital. Gao Yue got up and prepared to leave.
"Oh? What patient? Han Bing asked curiously.
"Hmm...... It's a lawyer friend, he's seriously injured, and he's still in a coma, and the doctor says he might turn into a vegetative state...... Alas! Gao Yue sighed heavily.
"So miserable, still vegetative?!" Han Bing was taken aback.
"Alas...... Do not say. Gao Yue replied.
"Big brother, how can you say half of it, don't say half of it." Han Bing asked.
"It's the lawyer who helped Xiaoyong represent the case, and he is very serious and responsible, but it's a pity that he ...... There was an accident in the tunnel of the outer ring road and the car overturned...... Alas! What a young, handsome and talented lawyer. What a pity! Gao Yue became sad.
"Big brother, don't be sad. Life is impermanent, and there are many things that we can't control...... Oh yes, you say, he represented Xiaoyong's case? Is it the same lawyer Tang you asked him to dinner last time to discuss the case? Han Bing asked.
"Yes......" Gao Yue replied.
"You still don't think Xiao Yong is a murderer?" Han Bing continued to ask.
"Of course, I firmly believe that Xiaoyong will not be a murderer. The murderer was someone else. Han Bing, you have to believe me, alas...... Maybe you'll understand later! Gao Yue said,
Han Bing listened and was silent.
