Chapter 64: Jade Heartbreak
Xu You felt a little relieved and a little lost. He bore all the blame and did not consult Cao Guisheng and Liu Baochang before this, because he knew that once Cao Guisheng was told, the plan would not be implemented. According to the time calculation, Gao Ge should have talked to Cao Guisheng and Liu Baochang, and the content of the conversation must be the content of Xu You's confession. So far, not receiving any news is the best outcome. From this point of view, Cao Guisheng and Liu Baochang did not argue with the police about Xu You's voluntary surrender, and they followed Xu You's train of thought to fulfill his responsibility as a murderer.
Even if he had prepared in advance, this was originally part of the plan, but Xu You still felt a little lost, as if he had been thrown away by someone closest to him.
What is there to be disappointed, Xu You thought like this again, and he couldn't blame Cao Guisheng and Liu Baochang at all. Xu You didn't know Liu Baochang very well, but he knew Cao Guisheng. Cao Guisheng is not a reckless person, he is cautious and steady, when he knows that Xu You has taken all the responsibility, he will definitely not easily refute or tell the truth of the matter, it is meaningless to do so, it will only make him and Xu You unable to get out. Therefore, according to Cao Guisheng's style of doing things, he must have fulfilled Xu You, in order to try to rescue him again in the future.
Xu You made the above speculation and felt some comfort in his heart.
Let's go back to the matter: when Cao Guisheng learned that Lei Yingtian and Zheng Qian died in prison, he was uneasy, he thought about it and decided to go to Liu Baochang immediately. So after the person who was watching fell asleep in the car, he quietly found out of the dormitory building of the Education Bureau and rushed to Zixian County by bicycle overnight.
When I got older, my eyes were not good, but fortunately there was moonlight that night, but even so, I couldn't see the road very clearly. Cao Guisheng tied the flashlight to the front of the car and rode forward. When I encountered a pothole, I didn't grasp the right direction several times, fell down and got up and rode again. The palms of the hands, the knees, and many places were scratched. The cold, coupled with the pain of rubbing his skin, forced Cao Guisheng's tears out. He gritted his teeth and endured it, for the sake of Xu You, he could endure anything.
After riding for more than six hours, Cao Guisheng finally saw Liu Baochang's dilapidated home halfway up the mountainside, Cao Guisheng leaned his bicycle on the ridge, covered it with straw, and hurriedly climbed up the winding sheep intestine road.
Liu Baochang was still asleep, and he was frightened by Cao Guisheng's sudden visit, "What are you doing here so early?" "Yes, it's morning.
Cao Guisheng didn't talk nonsense to him, and directly told him about the deaths of Lei Yingtian and Zheng Gan.
"Lei Yingtian and Zheng Qian are dead?" Liu Baochang rubbed his face violently with his hand, so he was much more sober.
"Nonsense. I think their death must have something to do with Lu Weiyuan, and the Eight Achievements were killed by Lu Weiyuan. Cao Guisheng said.
"Extinguish?"
Cao Guisheng nodded.
"So what?" Liu Baochang asked.
"He's going to kill Xu You."
"Xu You, what did he do when he killed Xu You?" Liu Baochang couldn't think of why Lu Weiyuan would kill Xu You.
Facing Liu Baochang, Cao Guisheng was really helpless, "You have been pretending to be stupid for 20 years, have you really become a fool?" In the past twenty years, Lu Weiyuan has not killed Lei Yingtian and Zheng Qian, why did he suddenly kill them now? ”
"Why?"
"Because Xu Yu found out about him."
"This ...... That's terrible, what are you going to do? Liu Baochang walked back and forth on the ground barefoot, he pretended to be stupid and had been barefoot all these years, he was used to it, and he was not afraid of the cold.
"The people Lu Weiyuan wants to kill, he can't hide, and if he can hide for a while, he can't hide for a lifetime. I think it's better to take the initiative to catch up. Cao Guisheng said.
"What do you mean?"
"I'll tell you another thing first, a few days ago, Xu Yu suddenly came to me in broad daylight, he knew that someone was spying on me, but he still did it, I was worried about one thing."
"What's the matter?" Liu Baochang rarely takes the initiative to think about questions, always likes to ask, and he knows that Cao Guisheng already has the answer.
"He wants the people who are watching to know about my relationship with him."
"Why, didn't he remind him not to expose his relationship with us?"
"Yes. There is only one explanation for what he is doing now, and he wants to take the guilt of killing Wu Chang'an, Wei Chi Revolution and others on his own. Cao Guisheng's voice began to be astringent.
"Why did he do this, I already told him last time, tell him to live a normal life and stop thinking about revenge." Liu Baochang was even more anxious.
"To save us." Cao Guisheng's eyes were already full of tears.
Liu Baochang stopped walking around and sat down on the bed with a heavy butt, "What should I do?" ”
"Sending him to jail is the best protection for now." Cao Guisheng said firmly.
"Sent to jail? You can figure it out, Lei Yingtian is not in prison? What about Zheng Qian? Didn't they all be killed by Lu Weiyuan in prison? This time, Liu Baochang got to the point.
"That's different."
"What's the difference."
"The deaths of Shi Jing and Liu Yang, the murderers were not punished as they should be, this is the result of Lu Weiyuan's manipulation behind the scenes. Regarding this, except for the murderer, you, and me, no one else knows, and Xu You should have found some clues. Once Xu You is imprisoned, we will immediately spread the news in society that Lu Weiyuan is the mastermind behind the intellectuals case and that Xu You has already mastered some of the evidence, so that he will not dare to let Xu You die in prison. ”
"If Xu Yu dies, others will say that this is Lu Weiyuan killing people." Liu Baochang added.
"Exactly."
"That's a good idea, but how can we help him?"
"If I'm not mistaken, within a few days, Gao Ge will send someone to ask us, and the content of the question is: Is Xu You a murderer?"
"And how do we answer?"
"Xu Yu is the murderer."
"Won't that hurt him?" Liu Baochang is still worried.
Cao Guisheng sighed, he was very sure, and he was a little worried when Liu Baochang asked him like this, but he was much more assertive than Liu Baochang, "The child is so smart, he won't fight uncertain battles, he must have thought of countermeasures, so he decided to bear the crime of murder for us." Moreover, you and I both know his character, and he has decided that ten cows will not be able to pull it back. Only by cooperating with him can we get out of this dead end. ”
"What if we think wrong?"
"There is one more person who can save him, and he will definitely save him."
"Who?"
"Lu Weiyuan's niece, Lu Qingqing."
"Why? The premise of Xu You's imprisonment is to admit that he killed Wu Changan and others, and among the dead people is Lu Anzhi, will Lu Qingqing save her father-killing enemy? Liu Baochang asked the point again.
"Because she loves Xu You. And her intelligence is not inferior to Xu You, I believe she will soon see that Xu You is not a murderer. ”
"I hope you're right." When it comes to love, this reason is stronger than anything else, and Liu Baochang immediately decided not to argue anymore. Love, isn't this thing enough of a stinky fart? Didn't he and Cao Guisheng put their whole lives into it because of love?
Several days have passed, and Xu You's case is still stuck in the county criminal police brigade and has not been immediately reported to the city bureau, which is because of another very important reason - Wu Ping.
Wu Ping is back, and he is back as good as ever.
It was Wu Ping who found Meng Moming and asked him to do his best to suppress the case for a period of time on the grounds that the evidence was not sufficient. Meng Moming asked him the reason, and Wu Ping's answer was surprising: I woke up a long time ago, in the first month after the operation. The meaning of this sentence is that for such a long time, Wu Ping has been pretending to be unconscious.
What is Wu Ping's intentions?
In the county detention center, Lu Qingqing sat outside and Xu You sat inside, the first time they had met since they parted that night.
It's like a thousand years apart.
Xu You's face looked a little haggard, and his beard grew up, but it didn't give people a dirty feeling, but it was more manly.
"Aren't you going to tell me the truth?" Lu Qingqing's clear and bright eyes stared at Xu You's face.
"Honestly, what do you mean?"
"Xu You, do you remember that day when it snowed? We built a snowman in the square below the brigade dormitory, and you kissed me. Thinking of the scene at that time, Lu Qingqing felt so satisfied and happy in her heart, and a layer of blush appeared on her face.
"I don't remember, I'm your father's killer, I didn't expect you to tell me this." Xu You's tone was cold and hard, rejecting people thousands of miles away.
Lu Qingqing's tears dripped from the corners of her eyes and landed on the platform, she turned her face away, stayed for a while, and then turned to look at Xu You, "Don't think you can fool me if you are smart, impossible, let me tell you, I don't believe you are a murderer at all." If you want to stay inside, stay there, in short, if you don't come out for the rest of your life, I'll wait for you for the rest of your life. ”
It is a bit strange to confess your heart to your beloved lover in such a situation. Lu Qingqing has imagined many romantic scenes, but now Xu You's life is at stake, and she can't stand the wait, she hopes that she can use her true feelings to arouse Xu You's pursuit of life.
"Wait for me for the rest of my life?" The corners of Xu You's mouth deliberately showed a disdainful smile, and his nose snorted coldly, "Lu Qingqing, it turns out that I just think you are stupid, and now, I still think you are cold-blooded." ”
"Am I stupid? Am I cold-blooded? Hearing Xu You say this about her, Lu Qingqing's mood began to ripple.
"Yes. Stupid, you know that I am unkind and indiscriminate, pulling both you and Wei Chili, and even interested in Dr. Song from the city hospital, you still want to be close to me, are you not stupid? Xu You squinted at Lu Qingqing, saying these words to anger her, his own heart was dripping blood, "I killed your father, not only do you not hate me, but you also want to come to see me, you are not cold-blooded?" At this point, Yu Chili is better than you, and people at least know that I am her father-killing enemy. ”
No matter how gentle Lu Qingqing is, he can't afford such an insult from his lover, just forget what others say, doesn't he Xu Yu understand her thoughts? It's infuriating.
Lu Qingqing's beautiful face turned red, and tears flowed endlessly.
Seeing Lu Qingqing's reaction, Xu You felt that his goal had been achieved, and she would soon be angry and leave. But he felt that his heart was strangely painful.
Wrong.
Lu Qingqing quickly put her qi away, how smart she was, she quickly understood Xu You's true intentions. Don't be angry, you want to drive me away, I'll go, but don't think I don't know what you want to do. Lu Qingqing looked at Xu You, she wiped away her tears and stood up.
"That's it." Lu Qingqing left.
On the way back, Lu Qingqing thought about it many times, the reason why Xu You had to bear the responsibility was because there was someone he wanted to protect in this world, and at present, that person should be Cao Guisheng. He wants to exchange his death for Cao Guisheng's life, which is unfair. It is unfair to Xu Yu himself, to the deceased, to Wei Chili and Lu Qingqing.
Lu Qingqing vowed never to let Xu You die, she wanted to return his innocence, to find the real murderer of his father Lu Anzhi with him, and to deal with his uncle Lu Weiyuan with him to return justice to the world. (End of Volume I)
