"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?" Li Sumiao's face was hidden in the shadows behind the tree, obscure.

"If you set the fire, why did you save me? I know that you called Mu Mian and just wanted to ask you for an answer. Xiao Se frowned slightly, and his face was a little depressed.

"Because I don't think it's necessary to kill someone, it's enough to teach you a lesson, after all, you are not the murderer who directly killed Yang Qing. But my dad didn't listen, he had to do that kind of murderous crime. At first, I didn't know about it, but when I came home some time ago, I saw that my dad was not quite right, and he was highly nervous all day, so I asked again and again, and he said that he had set fire to and killed two people. ”

Li Sumiao did not hide the quibble, he seemed to be telling someone else's matter, and his tone was surprisingly flat, "Back then, my father abandoned his ex-wife and married my mother, but the two later had conflicts and always quarreled, my father began to think about his ex-wife's good, and often took care of his ex-wife and daughter. Because our respective mothers hate each other, Yang Qing and I rarely interact with each other even though we are in the same school. But she still cares about me very much, and often asks her best classmates to send me some study and daily necessities. She is very good and my dad's pride. My dad is an old stubborn, he feels sorry for his ex-wife and daughter, and he wants to get justice for his daughter. My dad knew that he had been targeted by the police, and I persuaded him to turn himself in and get leniency, but he refused to listen and insisted on continuing to kill the third person.

I was very surprised to learn that the third person was you. Although I think you're a playboy and don't have a good impression of you, but after a good acquaintance, I don't want you to die at the hands of my dad, so I offered to be familiar with you, and I can do it for you. My dad was also worried that if he did it again, he would be caught by the police if he didn't succeed. And it was not easy for him to get close to you, so I agreed that I would do it, and imitate his technique to light the fire at the point he had stepped on beforehand. Of course, I can't let you go in vain, I always have to teach you a lesson, and I also have an explanation to my dad, so I made such a play. My dad probably knew that the matter was not successful, and he was afraid that the police would find me, so he voluntarily surrendered. ”

"Why did it take six years for the revenge operation to begin?" Xiao Se asked.

"It's really a coincidence, my dad is a driver, driving passengers and pulling goods, some time ago I happened to pull Jiang Ming and Li Hao, and the next day happened to be Yang Qing's death day, those two actually remembered that they talked about six years ago in the car, and discussed going to Yang Qing's grave." Li Sumiao said truthfully, "At that time, my dad talked to them, and those two guys told him everything, including how the warehouse caught fire, and said that you investigated it." My dad asked you who you were, and they said too, including that you are the son of the wealthy Xiao Pengcheng. It's easy to deal with those two people, but it's harder to attack you, so my dad will leave you at the end, deal with that person first, and then find a way to deal with you. ”

He paused slightly, and then continued: "Just now I saw you enter the dressing room and close the door again, I knew that you had already suspected Yu Meng's head, since you suspected Yu Meng, it would be easy to know who her accomplice was." I think I'm very clever at playing the time difference, but I didn't expect to be seen through by you. ”

"Yu Meng didn't say anything, it was me who found out it was you." Xiao Se explained his reasoning and the basis of the investigation to Li Sumiao in detail.

"I know that Yu Meng will not divulge secrets, she is very trustworthy. You're quite smart, it's not like you can only pick up girls and drink, it seems that I underestimated you. A sycamore leaf fell to the ground, Li Sumiao bent down to pick it up, looked at the heart-shaped leaf contemplatively, looked at Xiao Se, and then looked up at the sycamore tree.

"It turns out that the sycamore leaves are heart-shaped, and I never noticed it." I was inexplicably touched by the heart-shaped leaf in his hand.

"This is the same reason for people, some people have a true heart, but that heart is not noticed." His expression was a little depressed.

"What do you want to say?" I know he has something to say.

"I know Yu Meng hates me, I admit that I am mean, I shouldn't take advantage of her, and I shouldn't ......" He paused, his brows furrowed, his eyes gloomy, and his whole person seemed to be shrouded in a layer of frost, and he opened his mouth again after a moment, "Please help me give this leaf to Yu Meng." ”

I took the heart-shaped leaf, and my heart was filled with mixed emotions. "That's it? Nothing to convey? ”

"No, it's useless to say it." He smiled a little bleakly, "Straight down to business, Xiao Se, what are you going to do with me and hand me over to the police?" ”

"Your act of arson did not and did not endanger public safety, the warehouse was abandoned in the first place, and the fire was quickly extinguished without causing any property damage. Leaving you to the police is not a big crime, so why should I do it. Besides, your father has turned himself in and taken responsibility for the crimes he has committed. Xiao Se said earnestly, "When Yang Qing died, the three of us did bear an unshirkable responsibility, in the past six years, I have been tormented by conscience, Jiang Ming and Li Hao must be the same as me, so they will discuss going to Yang Qing's grave." You are Yang Qing's younger brother, please take her place and accept my apology. ”

He took two steps back and bowed solemnly and deeply to Li Sumiao.

Li Sumiao looked at Xiao Se's humble posture, and tears gradually flashed in her deep eyes. "When is the time for retribution?" He sighed, "My sister must not want my father to kill and go to prison in order to avenge her, not to mention that the cause of the fire was purely accidental." My sister is a kind-hearted person, and if she had a spirit in heaven, she would forgive you. As for me, I can't afford to get along with you anymore. You don't have to bow anymore and you can walk upright. ”

Xiao Se slowly straightened up, and a thousand words turned into a long sigh.

Yu Meng locked herself in the dormitory, with no sound, no music and no lights, and she was drowned in a dark world alone, isolated for a day and a night. The next night she finally stepped out of that world and came to my dorm.

"I'm going to go through the resignation procedures tomorrow before I get terminated, so that I can save a little bit of dignity." Yu Meng looked at me, her dark eyes gradually wet with tears, "I've also thought about how to go next." I want to go to university, but in my current state, it is impossible to study with peace of mind. I told you before that if you don't dance one day, you would open a bakery, which was a joke at the time, but for now, it seems like I'm going to have to make a living from that. In addition to dancing, I am also good at making pastries, and I lack the funds to open a bakery, so I can't achieve it, so I can only try to open an online store first to see how it works. ”

"But what about your life, you can't continue to live in a dormitory after leaving the dance company, renting a house outside is a big expense, what if you can't make money by opening an online store?" I didn't know anything about starting an online store, and I didn't know if it was a viable path.

Her eyes were filled with tears, like two clear pools, rippling with water. "The current life is not a problem, Qin Feng still has a newly bought house outside that is vacant, I can live there temporarily, and he will also give ...... for my living expenses"

"Do you want to continue to entangle with Qin Feng?" I couldn't control my emotions and became excited, "He has already harmed you like this, and you haven't woken up yet!" What are you like this, his adopted lover? ”

"What can I do, I can't reach out to my mother for money without relying on her. I didn't dare tell her how disappointed she would be in me if she knew...... You can only hide it first, and you can hide it for a day. She sobbed and said, "I also know that I shouldn't continue to entangle with Qin Feng, but I have no other choice." Besides, I've been with him for so long, it doesn't matter if I have more time, I'm just breaking the jar......"

"Don't say that!" The sentence "broken jar broken" made me feel painful, "Don't belittle yourself like this, you are just confused for a while, and you were deceived by Qin Feng." It's still too late! ”

"It's too late, my dreams have been completely shattered, and the children I lost will never come back." Yu Meng's trembling and suppressed sobs were particularly shocking.

"Lost children?" I was shocked and asked, "What kid?" ”

"I went to the hospital to have a baby." She pressed her forehead against the table, her head tossing and turning in pain on the table, "After Li Sumiao left that day, my lower abdomen hurt badly, and I went to the infirmary for an examination to find out that I was pregnant." It was impossible for me to leave the child, Qin Feng asked me to ask for leave, lied that my relatives were coming to accompany me, went to the hospital to beat the child, and then recuperated with him for two days...... My heart and body were so damaged that I could no longer repair them. ”

I hugged her in pain, and she immediately hugged me with her slender arms and buried her head in my chest and wept bitterly. Her tears soaked through my clothes, and her voice choked in my chest: "When I have the ability to support myself, I will leave Qin Feng, but for now I still have to rely on him, and besides, I am reluctant...... I need a mental transition, just take one step at a time. ”

Later, I remembered the sycamore leaf that Li Sumiao asked me to hand over, and took it out of the drawer and handed it to Yu Meng.

She took it, staring at the leaf in amazement.

"Does this leaf mean anything?" I think back to Li Sumiao's words, some people have a true heart, but that heart is not noticed.

Yu Meng raised her head, a pair of jet-black eyes shining in the mist. "One time I met him under that plane tree, and he was reading a love poem, and I laughed at him, and the big man looked at that. He said very seriously that love is the eternal theme of human beings. I asked him if he had ever experienced love, and he didn't answer, but looked up at the sycamore tree and said that the leaves of the sycamore tree are heart-shaped, just like the human heart, and if one day he falls in love with a girl, he will pick a sycamore leaf and give it to her, and that leaf is a piece of his true heart. ”
