Chapter 71: Questions and Answers
Huai Shi opened her eyes and saw the snow-white ceiling, the steel railing, and the bits hanging beside her, as well as the steel positioning ring fastened to her feet.
Obviously, he was lying in prison.
To be precise, in the detention room of the Special Affairs Department, there were no long guns and short cannons aimed at him, and he did not even prohibit his soul ability.
No, today's Director Fu should wish he had quietly escaped from prison, right?
So that he could shoot himself heartily for five minutes......
He slowly moved his hands and feet, feeling his weakness and hunger.
"How long did I sleep?"
"Two days. Outside the cage, the girl in a wheelchair reading a book replied without raising her head.
"Oh. ”
Huai Shi nodded slowly, yawned, and got up from the bed with her body propped up. When he finally woke up after a long sleep, he felt an indescribable tiredness and sleepiness.
Dizzy.
Just as he was gradually sobering up, he heard screaming voices from the cell next door: "Let me out! Let me out! I am innocent, I don't know anything!"
He was stunned for a moment, and looked curiously at the wall next to him: "Who is next door?"
"Qi Wen's son, Qi Yuan. A waste who was frightened after knowing that his father was dead, with a little means, confessed everything. ”
Even though Qi Yuan was next to him, Ai Qing's words were not polite at all. She glanced at Huai Shi deeply and added, "Thanks to you, although there were some unpleasant episodes in the clean-up of the Qi family, it was generally very smooth. ”
"No thanks. Huai Shi smiled innocently, "This is what I should do." ”
"Do you hear what I'm thanking you for?"
Ai Qing asked indifferently: "If you really have a little appreciation, you shouldn't have killed Qi Wen in another way after putting down the gun."
Assaults on secret service staff, looting weapons depots, and carrying out assaults in public places seriously endangered public safety, killing sixteen ordinary people and one sublimator, and lynching to death after torture and ravaging of an unconvicted suspect...... Even if the crime he committed was later confirmed by the presentation of evidence, it was still a serious ultra vires and violation.
Either one of these is enough for you to serve in Trench Prison until you die.
And when you were doing these things, you were still nominally an employee of the Astronomical Society, and now the Jinling Office has been quarreled over your affairs...... Do you know how much trouble you've thrown me over?"
"Uh......"
Huai Shi was speechless, and after a long time, he sighed and bowed his head: "I'm sorry." ”
"That's the most sincere apology you've ever apologized for. ”
Ai Qing let out a heartfelt 'admiration', closed the book in her hand, and asked mockingly: "So, tell me: after revenge at all costs, did you get anything?"
Huai Shi was silent for a long time and scratched her face in embarrassment.
"I'm tempted to say that revenge won't get anything, but ...... I'm so happy to be honest. After speaking, he couldn't help but fold his hands again and say to him: "I'm sorry, I accidentally became perverted." ”
He felt like he was perverted.
Aren't ordinary people empty in their hearts after revenge is over?
Why do you feel so happy?
That's not right......
"It's not perverted, shouldn't it be natural to rejoice in revenge?" Ai Qing glanced at him, "If it were me, I'm afraid I would laugh so much that tears came down, maybe it was worse than you." ”
Without waiting for Huai Shi to breathe a sigh of relief, she continued: "It's just that a well-equipped mercenary team, a second-order sublimator, is really amazing, no, it should be said that it is scary......
As your current hapless chief, should I be pleasantly surprised by your skill?" she emphatically said, "Mr. 'Little Page on Huaihai Road'." ”
“......”
Huai Shi was speechless, not knowing whether she should continue to be sorry this time, and in the end, she could only shrug her shoulders.
"I know what you're trying to say, and you don't need to apologize for such frivolous things, after all, we've always been hiding something from each other, haven't we?"
Ai Qing paused for a moment, and suddenly said, "However, you really should feel sorry for this. ”
"Huh?"
"Qi Wen is just a glove that is thrown away after use, a dog that can't even decide who to bite. ”
Ai Qing took a deep breath and said bluntly: "The person who really pushed the Huai family into the fire pit back then should be the current head of the Yin family, my great-grandfather, Yin Shape.
In other words, I am also one of the enemies who ruined your family. ”
Huai Shi was stunned for a moment, looked at her a little stunned, and nodded slightly for a long time.
There was no anger or shock.
On the contrary, it was a bit like a sudden realization.
"Is that so?"
He scratched his head, finally understood something, and immediately, his eyes widened in shock: "Wait, it turns out that you really don't have the surname Ai?"
“......”
So that's the point?
"Don't you feel sorry for not killing me at all?"
"Then do you regret now that you didn't cut the grass and eradicate the roots?"
Huai Shi calmly asked: "Although I don't know exactly what happened, you and your great-grandfather are not the same thing at all, right?"
Besides, I've only killed a boss, and you tell me that there are still two weeks, and I don't have any real feelings. Why don't we go back and take a closer look?"
“......”
Ai Qing didn't answer, didn't try to explain anything again, just sighed softly after a long silence.
"There's no point in saying anything now, Huaishi. She shook her head slowly: "Originally, with the convenience provided by the Astronomical Society, you can become stronger, strong enough to settle all this...... Now it seems that I may have made the wrong decision from the beginning. I thought I could control your fate, but I can't even control my own fate.
Now it seems that it is time for this ridiculous delusion to come to an end. ”
She no longer talked about the topic just now, but returned to Huai Shi's self, like a lawyer: "Although you have the righteousness of blood revenge, your previous actions are still crimes."
Fortunately, the Jinling branch has not yet made a determination of this matter, and the Social Security Bureau has not strictly pursued it. I'm afraid that the trial will not begin until the matter of the Purified People is over?
In the meantime, I will try to help you get your sentence commuted.
If the situation is not good, you can switch to the Social Security Bureau, and according to your talent and potential, they will probably not take your mistakes seriously. ”
As if he was in a hurry to leave, he finished all the next things in one breath, "As for Director Fu, although he is angry, he is actually just shouting.
There are no longer a few people who sympathize with you in the special affairs department, and most of the time, they will appropriately open up the net to let you retain some freedom during this period of time, and I hope you can rest here with peace of mind. ”
"Is there anything else you need?" she asked, "and if it's not too much, I can bring it for you." ”
"Hmmm......"
Huai Shi pondered for a long time, and asked embarrassedly: "Is it okay to play the piano? If I don't practice for too long, I'm afraid that I will give birth to my hands." ”
"That's all?"
"That's all. ”
So, Ai Qing bowed her head.
It's time for her to go.
Just before turning the wheelchair, she suddenly said, "I have another question." ”
You ask. ”
"Why did you choose to stay in the Astronomical Society?" she looked into Huai Shi's eyes and asked solemnly, "You should know more or less in your heart, even if you don't have me, you won't have anything to do, right?"
"I don't know. ”
Huai Shi replied bluntly, but Ai Qing obviously did not accept this answer, and still looked at him calmly, until he scratched his head and thought hard for a long time before finally coming to a conclusion.
"If there's one reason, it's you. ”
"Me?" Ai Qing was almost amused by this answer, "Born and died because you fell in love with a female lame? Is there something wrong with your aesthetics? Or is it that your favorite gameplay is more special?"
"No, no, no......"
Huai Shi hurriedly waved her hand, "I'm just...... I envy you. ”
He looked at the girl outside the cage and said seriously, "Because you look courageous." ”
In the silence, Ai Qing didn't speak, as if she was stunned.
Just looked at her with a complicated look.
After a long time, he shook his head slowly.
"No, Huaishi. She turned away, "I've never had anything so extravagant. ”
.
.
When Ai Qing left the detention control room, she saw Director Fu smoking at the door.
It seems that his road to quitting smoking is not easy, and there are always bumps.
"Is the little bastard still alive?" he asked.
Ai Qing pointed behind him: "He's locked up here, you can go and see whatever you want at any time." ”
"Forget it, lest I accidentally take a gun and kill him. ”
After writing dozens of reports in the past two days, Director Fu stayed up until his eyes were red: "The above also said that it will be temporarily supervised, and it is estimated that the trial will start when this matter is over, right?"
"In Xinhai, I represent the Astronomical Society. ”
Ai Qing replied bluntly: "He is my employee, how about this attitude?"
Director Fu looked at her in amazement: "Are you crazy?
"Why not?" Ai Qing asked rhetorically, "Am I not a female madman in your hearts?"
“......”
Director Fu looked at her stunned for a long time, stepped on the cigarette butt, sighed, and turned to leave.
Only Ai Qing sat quietly in a wheelchair, staring at the sunlight reflected on the earth in the distance.
For some reason, I remembered memories of the past.
Those happy childhoods, sudden disasters and gloomy wards, the loss of both legs, and the teenager who accompanied him and played with him.
It's been a long time.
Memories fade and fade away.
It is no longer even possible to distinguish between what is true and what is a lie that he has fabricated to escape...... Maybe from the beginning, I and he were never in the same world, right?
She pushed her wheelchair away.
Then in the bushes, a ghostly crow popped out a head.
