Feelings and the law
I held Zhang Yi's notebook and went to Yi Xu's house.
It was already dark, and looking through the window of the living room, the vast night, the cars on the street were turning on their lights, flowing like a river, and like shooting stars in the sky. This house, with such a large area, has lost its popularity and looks exceptionally empty. I lit a dozen candles and turned the living room into a paradise. Sitting on the sofa flipping through the notebook, imagining what it would be like for Yi Xu to speak PPT in English to the sales of the whole company, he was full of spirits.
The mobile phone received a text message, and the bank account received 10,000 yuan. It can't be Zhong Pei, he doesn't just owe me that, and it can't be Soeren, he doesn't owe that much.
But I was afraid that Soeren had made a mistake, so I called him and asked.
"It's me! The money of the past, and the money of wine. He said.
"Wine money?"
"Your dad returned all the wine we stole from your boyfriend, and there were a few bottles of wine I don't remember what it was...... He spent a lot of money! I felt like I needed to pay for the alcohol I drank...... Don't you know? β
I held the candle up to the wine cabinet and saw a dozen new bottles of wine lying there.
"I know now." I said, "So my dad came to Yi Xu's house?" β
"Nope. He asked me to send it. He said that going too many people was rude to the host. He went to buy furniture, and he said that he would buy it quickly, and your heart would be more comfortable. β
My heart was sour, but also warm. "Have you changed your ticket?"
"Hmm." He replied, "Do you want to go to Hamburg?" β
"You ask again."
"I mean, if your boyfriend doesn't love you, or he doesn't come out."
My eyes suddenly stared at a light coming from the refrigerator in the corner of the restaurant, which I hadn't noticed, there was an angel on the refrigerator, the light came out of her two eyes, the light was actually very faint, one was a little brighter, and the other had to be half a meter closer to see.
I don't know if Soeren has been exposed to it, but this subtle detail can also touch my nerves.
"Soeren, you're right, Allergutendingesinddrei, I think I've found a third!"
βWiebitteβ
Turn on the video call and let Soeren see, "What is this?" He asked.
"Will there be a camera?" I said nervously and excitedly.
"What's there?"
βcamara!β
The refrigerator is almost the only appliance in a family that is powered on 24 hours a day, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter. If you need the camera to work all the time, it's a great choice to keep in the fridge.
I checked the fridge wire, and it was in the jack on the wall.
If it's really a camera, Yi Xu's "disappeared neighbor" is easy to explain, there is no neighbor who has a good relationship with his aunt at all, Yi Xu doesn't go home, what time does he go home, it's all explained in one of his aunt's computers. If this idea holds, then the power on of the camera is only a technical problem, and any electrician can bury the camera's wire in this refrigerator.
I quickly found the toolbox, and I am now more familiar with the Yi Xu family than with my family. I followed the steps that Soeren taught me step by step, and unpacked the case of the air conditioner, and the back of the case was indeed glued to the camera, and the two eyes of the angel were two cameras. This must have been installed by the aunt, and to be on the safe side, almost at the same angle, two cameras were also used. And from this angle, as long as the door of the refrigerator freezer is closed, you can see the situation in the entire living room. There were also some lines around the camera and parts that I couldn't see and that Soeren didn't recognize.
"Yi Xu will definitely be able to come out safely!" I jumped for joy and walked lonely and desperately in the vast desert for more than two months before finally seeing the oasis!
"Holy!" I yelled into my phone, "I'm going to teach you the most awesome Chinese - 'If you have the intention to arrange flowers and flowers, you will not have the intention to plant willows and willows'!" β
Time flies.
Flying to a certain park, Yi Xu and I climbed over the wall, and he said that this is my "specialty";
Flying to Huanghua Airport that year, I bravely, with a backpack on my back, flew to a foreign country alone;
Flying to my house, my parents hung my Go award certificate on the wall of the living room;
Flying to Zhong Pei's dormitory, I heard Yi Xu reading poems, saw him drawing, and the puzzle pieces, and suddenly flooded with warm and sweet memories of his hometown, and I cried with happiness;
Flying to Funny's house, I said sorry to the real estate agent with a strong heart, and I decided not to move;
When I flew to the class meeting of my freshman year, I asked the whole class for advice on how to make a good girlfriend, and it turned out that the class meeting in college was so lively;
Now I know, no. It's not just universities that are buzzing. Elementary school and junior high school must have been more lively than that time, isn't it that the younger the child, the more uncontrollable, the smaller the more noisy it is? It's just that I'm always a bystander, or a daze next to me. The bustle outside of the body is noisy. The noise involved is hilarious. After moving to Changsha for ten years, I had the courage to take the initiative to participate in the class meeting for the first time.
Time finally flew back to the present, and I was like a detective, whose heart was thinner than a needle, and found such an important clue;
Time flapped its wings so chaotically and quickly, fanning the wind to tell me what kind of influence and energy the person I love has given me!
I excitedly called the city lawyer, who was finishing his meal and ran over after losing his chopsticks.
Before the city lawyer arrived, I called Zhang Yi and told her that Yi Xu had a very important new situation here, and I couldn't go to the hospital tomorrow. He hung up. I hit again, and she turned off.
Lawyer Ma brought the webmaster of his law firm. After checking it, the network administrator said: "The wireless camera has built a network bridge, and the monitoring range is within 50 kilometers. β
I offered to inform the police immediately, but the city lawyer refused.
He said, "Even if you know your boyfriend well. The third possibility cannot be ruled out, what if the male deceased tried to use sleeping pills to make the female deceased and Yi Xu fall asleep first, but the sleeping pills did not have any effect on Yi Xu, so he saw the male deceased kill his mother, and on impulse, killed the male deceased? We can only find the video ourselves, and if we tell the police, it may cut off Yi Xu's life! β
I hated that he had such a negative view of Yi Xu, and that he so calmly extinguished the burning flame of hope in me. But I still suppressed my temper and asked, "How do we find it?" β
"Exclusion method. It can't be here, it's impossible for the male deceased to live. β
The male deceased moved to Changsha four years ago, and we were already in our third year. Yi Xu's mom used a camera to monitor his time home from our junior high school days. The police did not find out about the presence of the cameras for two possible reasons:
1: My aunt rented a house outside, and many rental contracts in Changsha, the landlord will not register with the government department in order to avoid taxes or other reasons.
2: The police must have investigated the whereabouts of the aunt in front of her. Since our junior high school or even earlier, my aunt has had a computer in that rented house, and in recent years, because of love, I rarely go to rent a house again. I haven't been there in the past few months.
This also brings out another hopeless possibility: when I fell in love four years ago, the house was not rented, and the computer was collected, but the camera was forgotten to be removed.
"It's not hopeless." The city lawyer said calmly: "The female deceased was preparing for psychotherapy before she died, and her mental illness should have some connection with this camera. β
The network manager measured it with the instrument he brought and said, "The terminal still has a wireless signal." β
The city lawyer immediately decided: "We have to hurry, it has been more than two months since the case happened, in case the rent is paid every month, and the landlord breaks into the door before we find it, deletes all the things in the computer, takes it for himself, or even sells it, then it will be troublesome!" β
Xiao Mao in the detention center or Xiao Tian said that he has a buddy who works in the traffic management bureau. There is monitoring everywhere on the streets and alleys of Changsha, we can adjust the monitoring data to see, Auntie always has to rent a house once a quarter, right? Cleaning and cleaning, and the computer memory must be cleaned, right?
However, the city lawyer said that if the people in the detention center knew, the administrative brigade knew. He'll solve the problem of looking at the surveillance. However, the coverage of the monitoring network is also limited, and in order to prevent loopholes, it is necessary to buy time, and at the same time, it is necessary to use another method to find at least 30 reliable and strict-mouthed people and conduct a carpet search in Changsha.
"Yi Xu has a lot of old classmates who play football together."
"None of them are reliable. You go to a private detective agency and only tell them that they want to find the house that this person rents and sign a non-disclosure agreement. β
"Okay, how much? I'll pick it up! β
"You go to the private detective agency yourself, you take the money yourself, give it yourself, and it doesn't go through my hands or into my account, it has nothing to do with me." The city lawyer showed a completely different style from lawyer Ma, saying, "I am responsible for collecting information at the traffic management bureau, and you are responsible for searching people on the ground." β
Going out of Yi Xu's house, I called Zhang Yi again, and she turned on the phone. I said that I will take my ID card to the hospital by car now, and she said that she is not in the hospital either, and asked me to send it over at 10 o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow. I said okay.
In view of my previous major failure to find lawyer Ma, this time I sought the help of my father, who knew a lot of people, had a wide range of contacts, had rich life experience, and was more accurate in seeing people.
With the help of an old colleague of his, we found a private detective agency, and they promised to send 30 people to turn Changsha over in five days. According to the standard charge, it should be 75,000, he was introduced by an acquaintance, and he gave a discount, 60,000.
It's 60,000 again, even if it's easy to renew the money, I feel painful! I still blame the city lawyer a little bit in my heart, if he believes in Yi Xu as much as I do, does not maintain his almost mean sanity, and agrees to call the police, the police will definitely complete this matter more quickly and effectively, at least the video data will be transferred more smoothly, and the citizens will be more cooperative, and there will be no need to spend so much money! Easy money didn't fall from the sky!
I pulled the bank card out of my wallet, and it was only halfway! Looking at the other two, it's only half a cut! Drew three half-cut cards in a row, and the staff of the detective agency laughed.
I'm panicking, Soeren is cutting my card again?
Look at my dad again, he has already swiped his card calmly.
Walking out of the detective agency, my dad said, "You don't have any psychological pressure, that's the money that was originally prepared for you." Dad has saved money for you since your freshman year. If you earn half of your living expenses from a part-time job, you will save almost 50,000 yuan. In the two years that you have been out, I have prepared a dowry for you in the future, and I have saved 50,000 yuan. In fact, there was more than that, this time I went out to travel with your mother, took her to eat and have a good time, she went abroad for the first time in her life, I can't hold on to her, she is also someone else's daughter, isn't it? β
I understood: "Dad, you cut the card?" β
"Yes." My dad said, "You're going to save your boyfriend, I'm going to save my daughter." β
"Help me?"
My dad patted me on the back of the head and said, "I've already returned the 60,000 yuan you used up from his card, and the dozen or so bottles of wine you took from his house." His phone, wallet, and computer, I'll hand it over to that city lawyer tomorrow. Dad wants you to be clear-headed, feelings can't be above the law, and it's illegal for you to use his money and use his things. I don't mind if you sell my wine, sell my mother's jewelry, sell the furniture in the seller, even if you sell the house, we can rent a house at most, where can we live? But if you want to go to prison one day, I don't mind! Children, the family can be tilted, the property can be ruined, and people can't bring about their own destruction! β
I remembered the old man.
Once I went to the detention center, I saw from a distance that the thin old man was carrying a big bag and hobbling this way. Finally I decided to help him.
"I'll help you!" I ran over and said.
He wore a thin gray coarse cloth hat, the brim of which had been worn white, the wrinkles and spots on his face were dense, his coat was old, and the veins on the back of his hands were high and protruding, as if the wind could blow them a little harder, and every part of his body had been cruelly left by the years. His eyes didn't hide from me, but he was also godless, and his lips trembled and said, "It's risky." β
He refused without hesitation, and I was not reluctant, so I walked slowly with him. The bones of two fingers in his right hand have been deformed, and I don't know if it was because he had been injured, or because he was old and had osteoporosis but worked hard.
"I've seen you a few times, who are you here to deliver?"
He sighed and said, "Grandson".
I couldn't bear to ask him what was going on, so I had to comfort him: "Don't worry too much, your grandson will come out soon!" β
"It's a good grandson!" He bent his shoulders and tossed the big bag upside down, saying, "My son is good too!" The first place in the exam, the first place in the whole school! The salary is also high, and it's not been more than ten years since I entered it, I don't know what's going on, I'm obviously the smartest and most well-behaved person in the family! The police said that he committed the beating law, and I don't believe it now, but if I don't believe it, what's the use of ghosts? It's not more than ten years! β
I stopped unconsciously, watched him move forward step by step, and sighed. He, me, and the people queuing in front of the detention center are the saddest sight of this winter. The trees on both sides of the street have lost their leaves, but they are not as desolate as our hearts. The sky was suddenly drizzling, and the humid air was filled with the cold smell of the high walls, and there were even helpless sighs of people queuing outside the high walls.
Feelings and laws, cognition and facts, pierced my heart like a sharp awl. The other people queuing up outside the detention center, are they like me, like the old man with a big bag on his back, how can they not believe that their relatives are criminals, even if the court verdict is laid out in black and white? That's why so many people appealed and appealed. In the past, I listened to other people's cases as stories, and if things didn't happen to me, I wouldn't know the "facts" as a personal pain. Without the sanity and calmness of my dad and the city lawyer, would my naΓ―ve romance really cause trouble? How much trouble will it cause? Will it hurt yourself, will it still harm you?
When I went home, I met my mother who was playing cards and was telling her neighbors how she had just lost the money, and instilling the aesthetics of the new era: black is health, and health is beauty.
I had that dream again, and I saw the white clouds in the gray sky again! My vision widened, and beneath that sky there were embankments, houses, and rape fields from my hometown! I was so shocked that I grabbed a camera and took a picture of it. The photo slipped out of the camera, I put it in the envelope, and wrote "Easy to Renew" on the envelope, only to find out that I didn't know his address and zip code! I broke down in an instant, clutched the envelope to my chest, crouched down, tears falling to my knees, and cried aloud. How many years have passed, I finally saw the sky of my hometown again, and I wanted to show you, but I couldn't send it!
