Chapter 55: His Confession Hurts Me Deeply
Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
I didn't listen to a word of the interrogation that followed, only that it would be over soon. It wasn't until I sat in Han Muzhi's car that the wind outside blew that I seemed to come back to my senses. Han Muzhi pursed his lips tightly, and looked at me nervously from time to time: "Ke Qiao, take a deep breath and don't think about anything else." ”
I was finally able to smile: "Makiyuki, it doesn't matter. By the way, how did you know about Meng Xiangchen-"
"Okay, Ke Qiao, how can you listen to your current state, even if I tell you?" Han Muyi's face was sad, "Since you have made your choice, why can't he make you believe in your choice?" He should make you happy and make you trust, not just a word from someone who makes you breathe like a stranded fish. ”
Han Muzhi's words hit my heart again. Why don't I trust him? Is it my fault? But when did he give me a firm promise? Never, he only had ambiguity with me, not even a serious word. Maybe I've always been self-inflicted, Meng Xiangchen is right, why should I be worthy of him? I'm such an inconspicuous person, growing up, with only countless excellent suitors lining up behind my sister, when will it be my turn? When did I get this confidence? I raised my eyes to look at Han Muzhi, and my voice was sad: "Muzhi, am I very annoying?" Not likable at all? ”
The car stopped abruptly on the side of the road, and under the dim street lamp, I only saw Han Muzhi's deep eyes, which contained heartache and forbearance, he gently wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes, and his voice was very gentle: "Don't judge yourself by other people's eyes." You are weak and strong, and you are distressing. You asked Meng Xiangchen if he loved Xiao Min, his psychology was so deformed, is his love meaningful and valuable? But Joe, don't talk about love with someone you don't love. ”
Han Muzhi's warm words made my heart throb for a while, almost unable to breathe. My inferiority complex was ignited to swell by Meng Xiangchen's words, and then all my self-esteem exploded, and Han Muzhi was the man who put my broken self-esteem together little by little every time. Han Muzhi gently put my head on his shoulder and patted me on the back: "Don't worry, go back and think about it, it's not necessarily right what Meng Xiangchen said, wait until you come back to your senses, judge for yourself." Either way, I'm here. ”
I am here, this sentence is like a straw that I firmly grasped when I drowned, I leaned on Han Muzhi's body, a little hypoxic and drowsy. In the confusion, there seemed to be a light touch on the hair and a shallow and rapid breathing, and then left. I'm still blank.
Han Muzhi sent me home, and I fell asleep quickly while lying on the bed. The dream was more complicated and tired than ever, and almost all the unhappiness from childhood to adulthood was repeated in my mind, until the bloody face. I woke up screaming.
The next morning, I went out early. Nancheng had not yet woken up, and the sea level shrouded in the morning fog was dimly invisible. This world, perhaps, is hazy, but I stubbornly think that it is very clear, and I have to fight for clarity. But there are a lot of things that you can figure out if you calm down, right?
I walked along the plank road around the sea for a long time, and when it was almost nine o'clock, I sent a WeChat message to Lu Zenghan: "Do you have time to come out and chat?" ”
Lu Zenghan's phone call came quickly, and his voice was still sleepy: "Got up so early? Yo, it's not early, you worked overtime until 4 a.m. last night, where were you? ”
I looked up at the front of me, a big sign, and I said firmly, "Flower House Coffee." Plank road around the sea. Hanging up, I headed for the coffee shop. There were a few strings of wind chimes hanging from the door, tinkling in the sea breeze, it was wonderful, I sat quietly outside on the booth with a white parasol, letting the sea breeze blow every inch of my skin, waiting for the people in the coffee shop to open the door, I guess they had never seen such a keen guest as me.
Half an hour later, Lu Zenghan appeared in front of me with wet hair and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for three days, so you think about it so urgently?" ”
I looked at him quietly and didn't speak. THE SMILE ON LU ZENGHAN'S FACE SUBSIDED, BECKONED THE WAITER TO ASK FOR A GLASS OF ESPRESSO, LOOKED AT ME AND HOOKED HIS LIPS AND SAID, "WHAT'S WRONG?" So serious? ”
I TOOK A SIP OF THE LATTE AND SAID IN A SAD TONE: "HOW CAN SOMEONE WHO LIKES ESPRESSO LIKE A LATTE?" ”
Lu Zenghan looked at my expression inquiringly, didn't speak again, and only drank coffee in silence.
I said slowly, "You didn't appear in Yiqiao to heal yourself, did you?" I guess, you should have heard that the police are going to ask me to do psychological treatment for He Xiaomin, and come to find out my truth in advance, right? ”
Lu Zenghan raised his eyes and glanced at me sharply, and for a moment, I almost suspected that I had read it wrong. The hint of sharpness quickly turned into a sneer: "So what? Yu Kai cares about He Xiaomin, and I can only help him. ”
I continued, "You asked me to go to the clinic to secretly induce me to get closer to the truth, didn't you?" Lu Zenghan hooked his lips and looked at me deeply.
My heart ached, and I wished he would scold me, scold me for being persecuted or scold me for talking nonsense, or jokingly hurt me a few words as usual. But he was just silent, he was acquiescing. His bottomless eyes made me cover my heart in pain, but I continued: "After Xiao Min jumped off the building, you deliberately stimulated me with bad words, saying and sarcastically killing Xiao Min, which inspired my determination to meddle in Xiao Min's case. Only if I am involved, you can get the information you want to send to the police in a timely manner. Is it? ”
Lu Zenghan's eyes looked deeper at me, and a hint of chill faintly oozed from me.
I said quietly: "You have succeeded, and I am determined to clear my name." I persuaded Min's mother to agree to an autopsy to find the remaining drugs. Prove that Xiao Min is not a suicide. As it stands, this is the end of my duties. ”
A slight smile appeared on Lu Zenghan's lips, and the coldness just now gradually dissipated, and he began to listen to me with interest. I said, "But you're not satisfied. Your goal is to guide the police to catch Meng Xiangchen as soon as possible. So you asked me to go to Yazhu, and I was deliberately half an hour late, just to let me go to see the painting painted by Meng Xiangchen again in boredom. In fact, you have hinted once before, when you went to see Zou Yukai, you deliberately took me around the painting of Meng Xiangchen, which was completely consistent with the composition of the painting drawn by Xiao Min before the accident, you had already hinted that Meng Xiangchen was a murderer, but unfortunately I was too stupid and didn't realize it for the first time. I guessed it the second time. "I stopped, I couldn't speak, my heart was tingling, and the pain made me feel a little sleepy. I was so happy that he gave me a watch, even though I thought it was a copycat watch, I still happily ran out and bought him a band-aid, why is my heart so cheap? Why was he crushed so hard?
Lu Zenghan's fingertips tapped lightly on the tabletop, his face was as pale as ever, and he looked at me with his eyebrows hooked and said, "Go on." ”
"After that, I was puzzled by how Xiaomin jumped off the building directly after taking poison, and you hinted at me again and sent me a song. I realized that it was music that kills. Mr. Lu, thank you, every breakthrough in solving the case is hinted to me by you. Actually, I should have noticed it a long time ago, I remember the second time you went to Yiqiao, and you saw a patient who was addicted to a third party, and you mentioned it repeatedly, which also hinted at my Xiaomin's identity, right? It's a pity that I have a limited IQ in this area, and I didn't figure it out until today. ”
"Do you have a limited IQ?" Lu Zenghan looked at me playfully and asked.
My face suddenly turned pale, Lu Zenghan, why are you so hard. If I hadn't been shaken and pounded by your rhetoric from the beginning, how could I have fallen into a chess game step by step without knowing it? Still think you've found love? My whole body was trembling slightly, this man sitting across from me was so cruel, he stirred up my originally calm heart, but laughed at me and made me dizzy?
Han Muzhi is right, don't talk about love with someone you don't love. "Can you tell me why you did that?" I asked in a low voice, enduring the intense heartache.
"Are you sure you want to listen?" Lu Zenghan asked, "Leave yourself a little leeway, isn't it?" ”
Looking at his indifferent expression, I suddenly felt that I had never known this man. Give yourself some leeway? He meant that he never liked me, so why tear his face, right? But I'm a stubborn stubborn cow, and I nodded: "I don't need to leave those worthless feelings and leeway." The truth is the most deserving exposure to the sun. ”
Lu Zenghan sneered: "The truth? You-" Lu Zenghan almost blurted out something, but stopped, "Forget it." On this matter, in fact, my personal relationship with Lao Meng is okay, I have no background to enter the voyage, he is the uncle who has no ambition to sail, and he has cooperated in the real estate department for a period of time before, and they have a good impression of each other. Later, I transferred to the ship, he went to the hotel, and I helped him come up with an idea for a marketing plan, which Mr. Zou appreciated. But he is a man who does not follow the right path. Lu Zenghan's voice became colder and colder, "I actually joined forces with other companies to eat inside and out." Mr. Zou reprimanded him, thinking that he could repent. He also stopped for a while, but he caught up with He Xiaomin outside. One step at a time, one step at a time. I wanted to pass the letter to the police, nothing else, because he was starting to hit me with ideas. Don't talk about the calculations before, the time I was broken recently, he also colluded with Xiao Yanbing, when I was hospitalized, he made fake accounts to hedge, and almost ran away with the money, but fortunately, the speed of the police was fast enough. ”
His voice didn't fluctuate, he spoke very calmly, and he was really a master of business warfare, and I asked, "Actually, you deliberately stayed in the hospital for so long, didn't you?" Lu Zenghan was stunned for a moment, raised his eyebrows and looked at me, and I continued, "You just let him relax his vigilance and show his feet, so that Zou Shizhao will completely dislike him, otherwise, with Zou Shizhao's energy, Zou Yukai can be released on bail if he is not cleared, but for Meng Xiangchen, he just found a lawyer, it is estimated that Zou Yuqing begged for it, right?" Lu Zenghan was silent, this is the acquiescence. My voice trembled slightly: "You have to kick Meng Xiangchen out of the voyage, he is in your way." ”
Lu Zenghan's expression did not change: "In the business field, it is normal. Where is there so much friendship to speak of? ”
"Why didn't you tell Zou Yukai or Zou Shizhao about him?" I asked.
"They'll think I'm sowing discord." Lu Zenghan smiled lightly on his lips, as if I asked a very mentally retarded question, too, from his standpoint, he must stay away from the infighting of Zou Shizhao's family.
"Then why didn't you just tell the police?" I asked again.
"What do you say?" Lu Zenghan's eyes were surprised, this question was a hundred times more stupid in his eyes than the one just now, "I don't want to die ugly yet." "Zou Shizhao will not let him go, so even if he reminds me, he will remind me without a trace, so that I have no trace of evidence. Even if Meng Xiangchen also noticed that it was him who did it, Meng Xiangchen had no evidence to bite him back. He threaded the needle in Xiaomin's case, and set up suspicions in the business of the voyage, so that Meng Xiangchen was caught in the abdomen and back, how could he not be troubled?
