"It's you, you're the kid who went to the bun shop and then went to Xiaoxi Village!"

Remove the tape.

Zhao Laoshi didn't call for help, didn't curse, but looked at Gu Xiu with a strange look, his eyes full of surprise.

"It's me."

Gu Xiu nodded, Zhao Laoshi was looking at him, and he was also up and down, looking at Zhao Laoshi in front of him.

I haven't seen you for most of the year.

Zhao Laoshi in front of him is a little older than the old man in the bun shop.

The gray hair turned into silver hair.

The clothes on his body were tattered and unkempt, and he looked like a beggar on the street.

"I didn't expect it to be you."

"When I met you for the first time in the bun shop, I really didn't expect that because of you, it would become such a situation in the end."

"It seems ......"

"It's really fate."

Zhao honestly sighed with emotion.

Gu Xiu was noncommittal.

Fate?

The ugliness of Xiaoxicun in the previous life has not been exposed, and no one even knows that there is a place like Xiaoxicun in the world.

In this life, because of his own intervention, all this has changed.

It is said that it is fate, but it is not.

"Zhao Laoshi, you are a wanted criminal, why did you come back to follow my Aunt Zhang's family?" Shaking his head, Gu Xiu asked.

"I ...... I have nowhere to go, I want to hide here. Zhao replied honestly.

"Hide?" Gu Xiu scoffed: "Do you want to come back and snatch the child, and snatch Sister Rong Rong away again?" ”

"It's not! I definitely didn't have that idea! Zhao Laoshi replied almost subconsciously.

"Really?"

"Really, I really didn't think about snatching the child, I have done enough wrong things, I definitely didn't think about snatching Tongtong back."

"I am ......"

"I just want to see more, I want to see that kid a few more times......"

Zhao honestly muttered to himself.

It's like explaining to Gu Xiu, and it's like explaining it to yourself.

Gu Xiu saw all this in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, but after being silent for a while, he opened his mouth and said:

"You should know that once you are discovered, you are likely to go to prison for the rest of your life, and you may not even be able to get out for the rest of your life."

"I know." Zhao honestly nodded.

I don't know if it's an illusion.

In Zhao Laoshi's eyes, Gu Xiu actually saw a look of relief, as if he had already been mentally prepared in his heart.

Zhao Laoshi actually calmed down and smiled miserably:

"I didn't hurt anyone back then."

"But I also did a lot of bad things that lost my conscience, and my end was destined to be a bad end."

"Actually, when I came back this time, I just wanted to see Zhao Tongtong again, ask about something by the way, and then plan to turn myself in."

"I've had it from the beginning."

"I didn't plan to come back alive from prison."

This is said plainly, without even the slightest emotion, as if he is talking about an extremely normal little thing.

Gu Xiu thought of it.

Zhao Laoshi in Zhou Rong's description at the beginning.

lost his son in his later years, found his conscience, and even confronted other villagers in Xiaoxi Village to protect Zhou Rong.

Unconsciously, Gu Xiu thought again.

Past.

Zhao Laoshi finally died at the hands of the people in Xiaoxi Village?

Shaking his head, Gu Xiu shook off this thought: "You said you asked about something, what did you inquire about?" ”

"Nothing." Zhao honestly shook his head.

Gu Xiu frowned, but he still didn't ask any more questions, but asked another thing:

"May I ask, how did your son die?"

"My son?" Zhao Laoshi was stunned, and looked at Gu Xiu with some surprise, but finally thought of something:

"Tongtong told you, right?"

Gu Xiu nodded.

Zhao Laoshi sighed, and his tone was a little low:

"My son ......"

"He died in a foreign country, he died while abducting and selling children, he was beaten to death."

"You deserve it."

"I don't know if this counts as his own atonement."

So many years.

The old man seemed to have seen a lot, no unwillingness, no anger.

Some.

There is only a faint sadness.

A white-haired man for himself sends the sorrow of a black-haired man.

"Where did you die?" Gu Xiu asked again.

"Why do you ask this?" Zhao Laoshi was a little strange, but seeing that Gu Xiu didn't answer, he still said:

"Died in Longyun Town."

Really!

Hearing this place name, Gu Xiu was secretly excited.

Zhao honestly confirmed it personally, which means that the private detective he found was indeed in the right place.

I just don't know.

Next, will they make other discoveries in that place.

Zhao Laoshi in front of him naturally couldn't let it go.

Next, Gu Xiu asked a lot of news about Longyun Town.

But alas.

Zhao Laoshi suffered the pain of losing his son at the beginning, and he was not interested in everything, let alone being entangled in Zhou Rong's affairs at that time.

For that place in Longyun Town, there wasn't much attention.

But.

In the end, Zhao Laoshi thought for a while and said:

"Speaking of which, it's not that there are no other discoveries, on the night before I found out that Tongtong was found, there was a big incident in the town, even the people wearing military hats were dispatched, and I heard that there were dead people."

"Dead?" Gu Xiu narrowed his eyes.

Zhao Laoshi nodded: "Well, I didn't have the heart to pay attention to this at the time, I just remember that there was a commotion on the street at that time, and I didn't think much about it." ”

Gu Xiu was strange.

According to the timeline, when Zhao Laoshi found Zhou Rong, it was the day after his mother disappeared.

That......

What happened that night.

Could it have anything to do with this?

However, even those wearing military hats are dispatched, which is not normal, after all, even if there is really any public security problem, it should be the police.

Pity.

Zhao Laoshi only knew about this.

As for the rest, he didn't know, and Gu Xiu didn't get any useful clues if he asked again.

"Afterlife."

After chatting a lot, Zhao Laoshi looked at Zhan Wu who was sitting in the driver's seat:

"Are you going to take me to the police station now?"

Zhan Wu didn't answer, but just looked at Gu Xiu, which made Zhao Laoshi feel a little strange in his heart, but saw Gu Xiu nodding:

"Send it."

Gu Xiu's previous words were not a joke.

No matter what Zhao Laoshi is, once he is discovered, he will not be able to escape the punishment of the law in the end.

Gu Xiu wouldn't open up to him because of what he said or did, and it was impossible for him to let him go secretly.

Maybe he is really good to Zhang Rong, and even treats Zhang Rong as his own daughter.

But......

It's all there.

can't hide the evil he participated in in Konishi Village in the early years.

Since he became a human trafficker, he should bear the burden of facing his trial, and he has no right or qualification to let Zhao Laoshi go.

At least, he is not qualified to replace the families who were harmed by Zhao Laoshi in the first place to make up for those pains.

Zhao Laoshi was not surprised by this reply, although he was surprised why Zhan Wu, an adult, wanted to listen to this child's words, but he still nodded.

I saw him groping in his arms for a while, took out a silver hairpin, and handed it to Gu Xiu:

"Excuse me, give this to Tongtong."

Gu Xiu didn't answer.

Just frowning.

"This is what I bought in Jiangcheng during the Chinese New Year, and I was going to give it to Tongtong, but then something happened and I never gave it to her."

"It's useless for me to carry it, you can help and give her this hairpin."

Seeing Gu Xiu's hesitation, Zhao Laoshi said again:

"If you're afraid that I'm going to affect her life, then don't tell her that I gave her this hairpin."

"I just hope."

"What can I do for her in this last little time......"
