Chapter 379: The Light Rain and the Sudden Subway Explosion in the Side Story
(Foreword)
The disappearance of life is like the mark of a meteor, although it is only for a moment, but it leaves a mark that is difficult to cut away. However, the meteor cannot be repeated, and no matter how much you try to force it, it will be gone.
What Xiaoyu wants to tell you today is a story about killing people and saving people.

I closed my eyes softly, and Dr. Xu described in my ear, leading me into a very peaceful field with low wooden houses, warm and sultry breezes, sweet scents of fruits and vegetables, and lively and cute rabbits...... My mother stood on my right hand and held my right hand tightly, and my brother stood on my left hand and pulled my left hand as well, and they smiled at me and walked slowly with me in the field.
My mother, perhaps tired, pulled me down on the steps of the cabin, and my brother sat down as well.
"Xiaoyu, look at this sun, no matter how dazzling it is, it will always fall, just like human life." Mom smiled and touched my head, her eyes looking ahead, "My life has stopped in the past, I can only live in your memory, and your life is still looking forward to the future, connected to the infinite possibilities." ”
"Mom, I'm ......" I was about to refute Mom's words, but she suddenly stretched out a finger and pointed high up there, "What do you see there?" ”
I looked at the sky in the direction of my mother's finger, but there was nothing.
Mom frowned and shook my brother's hand together, then put our two hands together and pointed to the sky together, "That's the future, 2050." And you, Xiaoyu, you are the 'queen', and you are connected with the hope of going through the future. ”
I snapped my eyes open, tears streaming down my cheeks.
I am the "Queen", the hope of the future through the ...... Although I didn't understand what my mother meant, this sentence was engraved in my heart like a brand.
"What do you see? Was it a sweet dream? Dr. Xu smiled and touched my head, her hand was similar to my mother's, and I nodded.
She then asked me a few questions about the dream, and I answered her half-truths. She looked at the case, walked over slowly, and held my hands, "Xiao Yao, have you noticed that the hypnosis in front of you is very effective, and your words are much smoother." ”
After being reminded by Dr. Xu, I suddenly realized that I had basically answered the few questions she had just asked me.
Thinking of this, I blushed and lowered my head very low.
"Xiao Yao, are you still okay? If I don't come out again, I'll fall asleep. Xiao Yao yawned widely, rubbed his eyes, opened the door and walked in.
"I'm alright, Dr. Xu, thank you." I simply thanked Dr. Xu and stood up and followed Xiao Yao.
"I'll tell you, if you don't come out again, I'll really fall asleep here."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." I apologized to Xiao Yao vigorously, and at the moment of closing, I accidentally glanced at the loneliness in Dr. Xu's eyes.
Am I too careful?
October 21, 2021 at 20:14
I huddled in the crowd and tried to stretch my neck to look at the dark "hole", but I was obscured by the tall crowd and couldn't see anything.
"What else would you like to see at our height?" Xiao Yao shook his head helplessly, took out a mirror from the cloth bag he was carrying and handed it to me, "Take it, use this to see." ”
"Xiaoyao, you are so smart!" I happily took the mirror from Xiao Yao's hand, stepped back a long way, and used the mirror's refraction to shine on the extension from the subway platform all the way in.
Suddenly, a huge explosion appeared in my mirror, followed by a violent blast from the depths of the platform.
"Be careful!" Before I could react, the little poop pounced on me, pressed my head, and knocked me down.
The flying dust made it difficult for me to see ahead, and it became difficult for me to breathe, making me cough vigorously.
"Little want, little want, how are you?" I suddenly remembered Xiao Yao, reached out and groped her on her back, turned her over, and shook her body, "Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao, are you okay?" Are you okay? ”
"Ahem...... Don't shake it anymore, shake it again, it's okay and you'll be shaken to death. Xiao Yao wiped the dust off his face with one hand and straightened up.
As the dust cleared, my vision became clearer and clearer, and I saw a subway at the end of the platform that was half bursting and shattering, and half of it was catching fire due to the extension of the flames.
The people on the platform fled in all directions screaming in terror, squeezed into the stairs, and even stampeded.
"That's not good, it's a big case!" Xiao Yao stood in place and watched this scene, but a slight light flashed in his eyes.
"Let's run away, what if it explodes again?" I grabbed Xiao Yao's hand and just wanted to drag her forward, but I saw a team of firefighters wearing orange firefighting suits quickly rushing over and running in the direction of the subway where the fire started.
I saw that they were divided into two sides, one on the left and one on the left, and sprayed the subway vigorously with fire extinguishing tools, and after the fire on the subway was extinguished, they sawed open the door on the subway.
October 21, 2021 20:54
In the second half of the subway, passengers were rescued one after another, and like us, there were a few passengers who had been standing on the platform and never left, seemingly waiting for the rescued people in the subway.
"I'm so scared, I won't dare to take the subway again!" A young woman with dyed brown hair curled in large waves threw herself into the arms of a young man waiting on the platform with a crying voice. The man hugged her tightly in his arms and kept comforting her.
Another old woman stared hard in the direction of the subway until a man in overalls walked out, leaving tears, "I just wanted to come and see you and see where you worked, but I didn't expect ...... Unexpectedly......" The man didn't seem to listen to the old woman's words, but his eyes were vacant, and he didn't know where to look.
"Oh, no, I'm on fire, the whole carriage is on fire! Help me! Help me! Yes! Yes! A backpacker boy who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old clasped his hands tightly on his face and roared vigorously.
"You're okay, you're okay, we've got you out, there's no fire on you!" No matter how much the firefighters on the side tried to persuade him, he had to hold his face with his hands as if he couldn't hear at all, and close his eyes tightly.
"Touch it and see what it is? This is the water on your clothes, the disaster has passed, and we are all saved. Dr. Xu stood next to the boy with a towel draped over his hand, touching the drops of water that had fallen on his clothes after the carriage had been extinguished.
The boy calmed down and slowly opened his eyes, looking at everything in front of him.
Dr. Xu smiled slightly, touched the boy's head, and walked away from him.
"Doctor Xu, why is she here? Did she take that subway too? I stared at Dr. Xu's face and just wanted to say hello to her, but was stopped by Xiao Yao.
"Don't startle the snake, everyone here can be a criminal."
"Criminals?! Are you saying that the passengers here detonated the subway? But you have to go through security checks when you enter the subway, how can it be them? "In the face of Xiaoyao's suspicion, I couldn't believe it.
"What about security? For some smart people, security is a no-brainer. ”
"But...... No, it was the front half of the subway that exploded, and they were completely trapped in the back half of the subway, and it was impossible to detonate it. "I directly rejected Xiaoyao's reasoning.
Xiao Yao smiled and looked at my face, "The fun of the case is to make the impossible possible. ”
She patted me on the shoulder and, after observing everyone present, left silently.
October 22, 2021 at 06:35
Sure enough, such a major explosion was in the news early the next morning. I looked at the huge death toll of 321 people on the news, and I couldn't help but frown and mourn for them.
"Jingle bell~" The phone rang, I know without asking, at this time it will call me, only Xiao Yao.
"Xiao Yao, there are some things I care about a little bit, I need you to accompany me to go for a while."
"I knew you would say that." I smiled slightly, wrote down the address to be reported to me in a note, and called Uncle De to drive me there.
October 22, 2021 at 07:40
I compared the address that Xiao Yao told me, and came to a dilapidated old-fashioned apartment, and saw Xiao Yao's figure in front of the tree in the apartment, "I asked Uncle Jiang Zhilang to send me the message of the uniformed worker." ”
"You suspect that uniformed subway worker?" My eyes widened.
"Yes, yes. At the moment, it seems, he is most likely. First of all, he is the staff inside, there is a staff passage, there is no need for security checks, and explosives can be easily brought in; Secondly, why did he walk out of that dark passage with the other passengers? Isn't he supposed to walk out of the employee tunnel? And his mother, as if she knew he was in the tunnel of the subway, kept her eyes on it instead of walking towards the staff tunnel to find his son. Of course, there's one last point, but that's also my gut feeling. ”
"Your intuition? What intuition? I asked.
"His eyes, his eyes are very hollow, revealing a bottomless cold......" Xiao Yao said and held his chin with his hand.
"Good, good~ My great detective. Since you are so suspicious of him, let's go up and ask him and see if we can find any clues. As I spoke, I pushed Xiao Yao up.
"Room 409, Puyushu. This is it. Xiao Yao was on the right side of the address, and just wanted to knock on the door, but found that the door was open with a crack.
With a frown, she slammed the door and rushed straight inside.
The sound of the faucet kept coming from the toilet, and I ran into the toilet after Xiao Yao, watching Puyushu's severed wrist left hand flow blood all over the ground.
Instinctively, I took a step back and slumped on the ground.
But Xiao Yao quickly ran to Pu Yushu's side, touched his pulse, and after confirming that there were no vital signs, she came to his bedroom again.
"Little ...... Small to. "I tried to get myself up and follow Xiao Yao. I saw Xiao Yao dig out a confession from Pu Yushu's bedside table, and it was clearly written that he had detonated the bomb and blown up half of the subway.
"No, no, it's not like that, it's too simple, it's never like that." Xiao Yao looked around, looking a little excited.
"What's wrong with you, little want? Didn't you reason earlier that he might be the murderer? Why is it now said that this is not possible? ”
Xiao Yao pointed to the wall with one hand, "You see the color here is different from the one next to it, there should be something hanging here." ”
"Hanging something? What will it be hanging on? I muttered to myself.
"If it were you, what would you usually hang on?" Little wants to ask me.
"Posters? Photo? Calendar? ”
"I think it's a photo." Xiao Yao's eyes were fixed on the wall, "Only photos are the easiest to expose the relationship between people, and the easiest to hide something." I think we need to ask his mother. ”
I said "yes", followed Xiao Yao's gaze, and also looked at the wall.
October 22, 2021 at 13:23
When Jiang Zhilang took me and Xiao Yao to Pu Yushu's mother's house and told her everything, she cried vigorously, as if she wanted to finish crying all her life's tears.
"Alright!! If you want your son to clear your name, you have to cooperate!! Xiao Yao's yelling completely startled her, and she slowly put down the tissue in her hand and looked at us.
"I've always had a good feeling, especially with my son. In the past few days, he has been in the wrong state, as if he wants to explain the aftermath to me. Yesterday, he also specifically told me not to take the subway at night, especially where he works, which made me even more nervous, so I went there instead. ”
Pu Yushu's mother said, and came into the house and brought a memo and put it in front of us.
"This is what he pulled with me last week, maybe you can find a clue from this."
thanked Pu Yushu's mother and said goodbye to Uncle Jiang Zhilang. Xiao Yao and I found a dessert shop and opened this memo.
To be honest, this memo doesn't record anything, just some ordinary store names, but in recent weeks, we found "Xu Jia Psychological Counseling".
"Isn't this Dr. Xu's shop?" I felt a wave of consternation, followed by a wave of uneasiness, "How could it be, this must be a coincidence." ”
"Whether it's a coincidence, we've just asked, and I've never seen anyone who was suddenly involved in a disaster so calm as her." Xiao Yao looked me in the eye and said.
I knew that what Xiao was going to say was reasonable, and I couldn't argue with her, but deep down I still couldn't believe that Dr. Xu, who was smiling and touching my head like this, would actually kill someone......
October 22, 2021 at 16:00
The twilight sun shone on my face, and it shone with a blood-red glow, making it impossible to see the road ahead.
"When you arrive, I know the torment in your heart, but if you don't verify some things, you will never know the truth." Xiao Yao's words seemed to be said to me, but it was also said to herself.
I, walked in.
When Dr. Xu saw me, he touched my head as usual, while I knocked on the side.
"Doctor Xu, were you involved in the subway bombing yesterday?"
Dr. Xu stopped writing, looked at me, and then smiled and said, "Yes, sometimes bad luck comes, and I really can't stop it." ”
"Actually, I'm there too, I see you."
"Oh, is it? It turns out that you are also there, I really didn't expect that I was still pulling the handrail and looking at the electronic screen outside, and suddenly I encountered an explosion...... So many people died in one day, but luckily I was lucky. She shook her head with a wry smile.
I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued to ask, "Then do you know Puyushu?" ”
"Puyushu ......" When I mentioned this name, it was obvious that the smile on Dr. Xu's face was gone, but in an instant she regained her composure, "Yes, he is my patient here, and he has always had a serious depression, what's wrong?" Do you know him too? ”
"I ...... Not an acquaintance, but he ...... Dead today. I was very careful when I said this, but Dr. Xu's pen rolled straight out of her palm.
"He's dead? Even he died......" Dr. Xu touched the tears in the corners of his eyes.
Xiao Yao pushed the door in and asked directly: "Doctor Xu, according to my observation, you have been driving your own car all along, why did you suddenly think of taking the subway yesterday?" ”
Dr. Xu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said calmly: "There are times when you are tired of driving, is there anything wrong with taking the subway occasionally?" ”
"But this station is very remote, and it's a new station, if it weren't for the fact that there is a comic con there, there must not be many people going there, right?"
"yes, this is the first time I've been there, and I haven't been there before." Dr. Xu replied.
"Is the celebrity endorsement on the electronic screen SHV or LELE?" Xiao Yao continued to ask.
"It's not SHV, it's not LELE, it's N......" Dr. Xu's eyes suddenly widened and he swallowed the words.
"What? Didn't you tell me the correct answer? Or does this answer expose you as soon as it is said? A smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Yao's mouth.
"Xiao Yao, what do you mean by that?" I was puzzled.
Xiao Yao explained: "Dr. Xu said earlier that it was the first time she went to that station, and she also saw the electronic screen. However, according to my investigation, the electronic screen is located close to the platform, which means that you can only see it when you stand in the first half of the subway car that exploded. And she also wants to say that the celebrity endorsement on the electronic screen is Novo, but the Novo advertisement was just replaced by the subway an hour before the explosion. She could see it at the time, unless she was outside the carriage or when she had seen it through the staff passage inside. ”
"That's enough, don't say any more, I've seen that, so what? Pu Yushu and I are a couple, and we used to kiss in that staff passage. Physician Xu's face was visibly filled with anger.
"Oh~~ It turned out to be a couple, so he took advantage of his position to help you bring the bomb in, install it under the track of the platform, and kill people for you."
"You're a bloody squirt! Why did he kill for me? And why did I kill so many people? Dr. Xu's expression was distorted with anger.
"Because of your child, your child died. So you joined the Reincarnation Sect, and there is a legend of the Reincarnation Sect, which is to sacrifice 300 lives to bring back a person's soul and make her immortal. ”
Dr. Xu was suddenly stunned, her expression looking very shocked.
Xiao Yao smiled slightly, "You must be wondering how I know, right?" In fact, when I first saw you touch Xiaoyao's head, I vaguely felt that you should have children too. But if you never mention your child, it's easy to think that your child might be dead. Of course, I also have to credit for my uncle Jiang Zhilang, who is a police officer, so it is easy to ask him to check your information. ”
"Even if that's the case, that doesn't prove that the explosion has anything to do with me." The kindness in Dr. Xu's eyes was completely gone, replaced by an incomparably cold one.
Xiao Yao also looked into her eyes and placed the memo on her desk, "I originally thought it was just a very ordinary memo, but it wasn't until I concatenated the initials of every store that Pu Yushu went to just now that I discovered the secret: XUJIA, the initials of every store he went to have the pinyin of your name." And his last place was here. I think he must not want you to be involved, he doesn't want you to get involved in the murder of the child, so he must have told you that he sent the bomb in for you, put it under the track, and then gave you the remote control, and when you saw his flashlight come on, you pressed the switch. But what you don't know is that the remote control he gave you was fake from the beginning, and he was going to carry it all on his own from the beginning. That's why you're so mindful of the outside and you're paying attention to the screen, because you've been practicing, letting your eyes try to find the light outside. ”
"Nonsense! Nonsense! Nonsense! It's all your stuff! No way! Dr. Xu's emotions were completely broken, and she slammed open the drawer, took out a remote control from it, and pressed it again and again.
"Now the evidence is conclusive." Xiao Yao looked at Doctor Xu coldly.
"You're boxing me?" Dr. Xu burst out laughing and ruffled his hair.
"No, I didn't frame you. I learned from Jiang Zhilang that this bomb was not remote-controlled at all, but timed. That's why I went to Puyushu's house when I was the first to suspect you. Because you are in the carriage, you can only use the remote control. It's a pity that he tried his best to protect you, but you couldn't wait for him to choose suicide, but killed him. ”
"Kill him?! Didn't Puyushu commit suicide? "My eyes widened.
Xiao Yao put the autopsy report sent by Jiang Zhilang in front of Dr. Xu, "He has taken poison, but he finally died of cutting his wrists." Why do you say that? ”
"What do you mean...... He had already taken poison, but he was killed by Dr. Xu's wrists? "I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
If that's the case, it's too cruel.
"You killed the last person in this world who loved you deeply, and you also ruined your last chance to live. Heaven will still take revenge on you in the fairest way. ”
After Xiao Yao spit out the last word, Dr. Xu was completely broken, holding his head and shouting, "No, it's not my fault, it's not my fault, I just want Xiaobao back, I just want Xiaobao back!! ”
Looking at Dr. Xu like this, I couldn't help but silently shed tears.
Heaven will take revenge on you in the fairest way, and I think it will love you in the fairest way, provided you love the world, right?
