Chapter 22 The Wild Lily of Sorrow (22) News is a commodity
In recent years, Meng's mother didn't know which "friend" introduced her to meet a stinky man with sharp beaks and monkey cheeks. The feeling that Meng Tao felt when he saw the man for the first time www.biquge.info pen "Fun" Pavilion was that some extremely bad words floated out of his head - "pickpocket", "burglary", and "bus pervert". Therefore, she told her mother decisively in private, telling her not to associate with the man.
But how could Meng Mu listen to her, but on the surface she was still perfunctory and obedient. Meng Tao only knew that the person's "nickname" was "Little Er'er", and Meng's mother asked her to call that person "Second Uncle". Put the thinking of an adult and think about it, how can a person who is more than half a hundred years old in a normal year still not have a proper behavior, and all day long put "XXX I know, that is the carrying handle of our era" (carrying the handle, Northeast dialect: similar to the meaning of saying the big brother of the underworld), "are all bastards", "social people", this kind of words hang on the lips. and proud of squatting, feeling that he is a "cow 13 character", how could Meng Tao, who has received higher education, allow his mother to be in the company of such a person?
However, Meng's mother is like a demon, but she likes to listen to the rhetoric of the "second uncle", he said that he wasted the years when he was young and frivolous, and when he was old, he wanted to find a woman who did his duty, and spent the rest of his life together in peace. As soon as she heard about the "woman who deserves her duty", Meng Mu was like hearing her name, and the two immediately "fell in love" happily.
Lu Yao knows that the horsepower has been in the hearts of the people for a long time, this sentence is not false at all, after getting along for a long time, the true face of the "second uncle" will be revealed. He has no pension insurance, he was basically "fighting crimes" when he was young, and he didn't have any savings. usually likes to play with money, and Meng's mother's extremely meager pension insurance is not enough for him to squander, so he hit Meng Tao with his idea. No, because Meng's mother didn't dare to ask Meng Tao for money, she was beaten by the "second uncle" with a blue face.
"You can't live with some dignity!" Meng Tao roared at his mother with a crying voice, people say that parents hate their children who can't make iron, but they didn't expect that now, Meng Tao actually hates his mother and doesn't love himself.
"Woo woo woo ......" Meng Mu began to whine and wail again, as if Meng Tao, as a daughter, had done something rebellious to her. Meng Tao stroked his forehead weakly, tears dripping down in large strings, and his heart was full of sour grievances, which was indescribable.
"Da ~~~" A string of melodious melodies bloomed quietly, which was the piano music of "Sky City", which was the mobile phone ringtone set by Meng Tao. She once said that every time she hears this melody, there will always be a kind of sadness that has been suppressed for a long time in her heart, which is suddenly released in an instant, although she will still burst into tears, but the tears are dry, as if those sad emotions can also be evaporated together.
"Hey!" Meng Tao sorted out his emotions and connected the phone in a calm tone.
"I'm Dai Min!" The other party directly reported to herself, and after Meng Tao was stunned for a short time, she quickly remembered the "policewoman" who picked up her wallet at the church. Needless to say, Dai Min must have asked her about the newly released fourth victim.
Sure enough, Dai Min immediately mentioned this matter and hoped to meet her, but there were some words that could not be said clearly on the phone. So, Meng Tao simply made an appointment with the other party at the bubble tea shop last time.
Hanging up the phone, Meng Tao searched the room with red eyes, and Meng's mother, who was crying more sadly than her, actually took advantage of the time when she answered the phone. Meng Tao really couldn't cry or laugh, it was really difficult for her to be old, and she had to practice her agile skills, and she had to learn the ability to cry and laugh when she met people.
In the milk tea shop near the church, Dai Min and Meng Tao sat face to face, and there was a cup of fruit-flavored milk tea in front of each of them. Your ......" she wants to say, what about your boyfriend? Because it doesn't look like the two of them really look like policemen, especially Zhanpeng.
"He has a mission today, and I don't want to do the same." Dai Min smiled slightly, Meng Tao shrugged his shoulders indifferently, waiting for the other party to open his mouth to enter today's "theme".
Regarding the matter of the fourth victim Xiaomi, Dai Min briefly told Meng Tao, and the expected Meng Tao knew all the details she said, and I have to say that the current news reporter has a really wide range of ways.
"The outside world now speculates that the police officer named Zheng Yi is the Lily Killer, or his accomplice." Meng Tao said lightly.
"Yes, but we know that Zheng Yi was on duty that day, and the murderer could not be him at all." Although Dai Min is a little disgusted with Zheng Yi's words and deeds, she is not enough to judge whether a person is suspicious or not just because of her personal preferences.
"Don't you understand!" Meng Tao shook his head, "As public opinion, what everyone really cares about is not whether the murderer is him, but public opinion itself!" ”
Hearing this statement for the first time, Dai Min was a little surprised, Meng Tao thought that she didn't understand what she meant, and patiently explained, "Let's put it this way, a police officer who was supposed to represent the eradication of rape and evil became a criminal suspect all of a sudden, you know how explosive news this is." ”
"The truth doesn't matter!" Dai Min was a little emotional, "The deceased has been wronged, but the public only cares about the conversation after dinner, is this too much!" and Zheng Yi, does he deserve to be called a criminal suspect and be wronged so indifferently? ”
Dai Min's upright words surprised Meng Tao a little, but he didn't expect that this seemingly weak girl still had such a true temperament. But unfortunately, this is the reality, and the melon-eating masses who like to hear gossip can't understand her mood.
At this level, Dai Min didn't think that "those who don't know are not to blame, and I can barely understand the feelings of the masses who don't know the inside story, but as a media person who reports the facts, isn't there an obligation to present the truth to everyone?" "If it weren't for the media's rumors, things wouldn't have evolved into the chaotic state they are today, which has seriously reduced the trust of the police in the hearts of citizens.
For this point, Meng Tao is also very helpless in his heart, "News is a commodity, and the viewer is the buyer, do you think from the position of the merchant, he will pay more attention to the benefits brought by the sale of goods, or?" ......" Although Meng Tao's words were only half spoken, Dai Min's heart had already fallen into a deep cold. Yes, any newspaper or media is more concerned about whether it can attract the attention of the onlookers rather than the authenticity of the news itself. This is also one of the important reasons why fake news has been rampant on the Internet in recent years.
Meng Tao saw Dai Min's lonely face, a little unbearable, which couldn't help but evoke the innocence she had at the beginning of her career, at that time, she was also full of enthusiasm to report the most real news, not just for the economic value created behind the news. "Say it! What can I do to help you! ”
"I want to prove Zheng Yi's innocence." Dai Min said, Meng Tao raised his eyebrows, a little curious, "Does the relationship between Zheng Yi and you seem to be extraordinary?" ”
Dai Min wanted to eat a fly, and his face was full of disgust, "The ghost has something to do with that bastard." ”
"Oh?" This made Meng Tao even more strange, since the relationship was not good, why should he care about the life or death of that person?
Dai Min said firmly, "I just don't want the murderer to get away with it, and give justice to the deceased!" The perseverance in her eyes, and the upright blood in her heart, inadvertently resonated in Meng Tao's heart.
"Alright! I want to think of a way to see if I can create something in public opinion, so that your colleague does not stand on the cusp of the storm first. I'll tell you all the details if I can find out about them later. Is that okay? Meng Tao said.
Dai Min was very moved: "Thank you! A big journalist with integrity. Meng Tao smiled knowingly.
