Chapter 2: Don't Fear Yourself?
Ye Zhidi didn't speak, he just held his girlfriend Haibing's left hand tightly, Zhang Haibing saw his firm eyes, and seemed to be of the same heart and mind as him, only to see the ten fingers they held each other more and more tightly interlocked.
Ye Xin observed their reactions, and saw that their attitude together was so firm, and said, "I heard that you are planning to get engaged." As one of your elders, I would like to give you one last piece of advice for those of you who are juniors: there is an essential difference between love and marriage itself. In love, you can swear, be passionate, forget yourself, and be willing to give everything you have for the sake of your beloved her (him); Marriage is different, some people say that marriage is the grave of love, although it is a bit excessive, but there is also some truth, because once you step into the palace of marriage, it means that everything will return to the plain, love may change to family affection, the world of two people who originally belonged to each other, has become the integration between two big families, especially after having children, you are more focused on the small family, the relationship between husband and wife gradually fades, from love to responsibility. Therefore, although love is free, once you want to enter marriage, you must think twice, this is a lifelong event, related to the happiness of most of your life. The first thing you have to face is the family conditions of both parties, which is very sensitive, but inevitable. Don't excuse yourself with the phrase "I only care about the other party's character, not the wealth of the other party's family", because when you really go from love to marriage, you are destined to return to reality, everything is realistic, don't be too idealistic. Here I particularly emphasize the family conditions, not the economic conditions of the other party, because the integration of the family is an extremely important part of the marriage, and when entering the marriage, you must take into account the feelings and thoughts of both family members, not simply the emotional problems of the two people. ”
Ye Xin said what was in his heart without reservation, and he glanced at his son Zhidi, but his son still didn't speak.
At this time, Zhang Haibing presented a cup of tea to Uncle Ye very intimately and said, "Uncle Ye, please drink tea." ”
Ye Xin said so many words just now, and now he also felt thirsty, but he took the cup of tea from Zhang Haibing's hand expressionlessly, and drank it all again.
"Uncle Ye, please rest assured! Although I grew up in a welfare home, and I am just an ordinary female employee working in a listed company, my conditions are indeed very different from those of Zhidi. However, I love Zhidi from the bottom of my heart, and I am willing to do my best to build a happy home with him in the second half of my life, and I will do my best to make you accept me! Zhang Haibing, who had been silent for a long time, now said what was in his heart with tears in his eyes.
"Dad, I've thought it through, I've decided to be with Hai Bing, we're planning to hold an engagement ceremony in the near future, I hope you can bless us, and I implore you to help us set a good day." Ye Zhidi finally spoke with a smile.
"It's really a definite number in the dark! Now that you've made up your mind, Daddy won't stop you from being with her. Ye Xin leaned back on the sofa, half-squinted his eyes, sighed heavily, and then continued, "I'm old...... The date of your engagement is up to you young people to decide. ”
The remnants of the tea soup are poured on the tea pet, splashing a shallow mist and curling hot. The floor-to-ceiling windows behind him sprinkled warm sun, and Ye Zhidi and Zhang Haibing's backlit faces couldn't see their expressions clearly.
But you can vaguely feel the happy smiles on the faces of the two of them, blooming with comfort and comfort......
After careful consideration, Yaliang, who lives in City A, finally believes that her friend Zhang Haibing's previous advice to her is right: she should boldly testify against the suspect. So, she came to the police station with a nervous heart.
"Tea, please." A policeman saw that Arrya's face seemed to be a little abnormal, so he handed her a glass of warm water, and then continued, "Did you meet that bad guy again recently?" ”
Although it had been five minutes since she sat down, Ara was still a little nervous, and now she was still worried that if she told the whole story in front of the police, then she might be involved in her boyfriend Ah Kun, which was something she didn't want to see.
However, if the murderer is not arrested one day earlier, then her good friend Ah Tao will die an unknown death, so that she will not be able to see it! Moreover, their personal safety will be threatened and harmed at any time. Ara didn't want to be like his best friend Ah Tao and die without knowing what to do.
She took a deep breath and said, "No." I...... I came to the police station today to tell you a clue, and I hope it will help you in your investigation of that case. ”
The policeman immediately took out a voice recorder and said directly: "Say, don't be afraid, we will give a certain degree of confidentiality and protection to the citizens who provide clues to the case." ”
"The last time a colleague of yours asked me to come to the police station to identify four suspects, one of them seemed to me to have seen him somewhere, and I still couldn't remember how hard I tried to think about it that day, so in the end I had to tell him that I hadn't seen these four suspects." At this time, Arala swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily in his throat, then looked at the policeman opposite with a panicked gaze, and finally continued, "Two days ago, I talked to a friend of mine about this matter, and as I talked, I inadvertently remembered where I had seen that suspect...... May I ask Mr. Policeman, do I count my behavior as a crime of harboring criminals? ”
After hearing this, the policeman smiled and said: "You didn't mean it, if you have a troubled conscience, then now you can tell me everything you know, and it can be regarded as making up for it." ”
“……”
It took about twenty minutes for Aryan to tell the policeman everything he knew and what he wanted to say.
After hearing this, Mr. Police saw him think for a while, and then asked, "Have you had a holiday with that suspect?" ”
Yaliang hurriedly waved his hand: "Absolutely not!" I only crossed paths with him once, in a fancy bar, and he borrowed money from my boyfriend Ah Kun, but Ah Kun unceremoniously refused to lend him money that night, and he kept begging Ah Kun to lend him money so that he could solve his needs...... In the end, Ah Kun still couldn't stand his stalking, so he relented and impatiently lent him money. At that moment, I felt very disappointed, and I casually scolded him with a few swear words! Will this provoke him to murder me and my best friend Tao? Besides, she doesn't know anything about him! ”
"Where's your boyfriend, Ah Kun?" Mr. Policeman pressed again.
Aral's expression darkened for a moment, but then returned to normal. She struggled to recall the bits and pieces of her date with Ah Kun, except for that time in the bar, when the suspect appeared, Ara had not seen this person again, as for whether her boyfriend Ah Kun had contacted him again, and whether they had a conflict, it was unknown. Besides, if there is a follow-up economic dispute because of that borrowing money, this is a personal enmity between Ah Kun and him, and Ah Liang believes that this has nothing to do with himself and her best friend Ah Tao, so that borrowing money will not constitute the suspect's criminal motive for Ah Tao and her to kill her.
After pondering for a while, Aryan replied helplessly, "I don't know. ”
"What's going on, has he had any contact with the suspect?" Mr. Policeman put down the recorder, he leaned back in his chair, and looked at Ara with suspicious eyes.
"I still don't know, since I was discharged from the hospital, I have only seen him once, until now about half a year has passed, every time he talks to me on the phone, he says that he is out on business, and he is still nowhere to be seen, and he has not returned to City A, usually we only occasionally talk on the phone to contact feelings......" In the end, Aralan's expression changed from sadness to sadness.
"Well, you can go back, and we'll let you know as soon as there's any progress in this case." The policeman thought that Aryan had no more clues to offer, so he told her to go back.
"Mr. Policeman, is this case related to my boyfriend?" Before leaving, Aryan still couldn't help the curiosity and worry in her heart, so she simply asked the police officer for clarification, hoping to get a positive answer.
"I have no comment, until evidence is found, and I have no comment." Mr. Policeman replied solemnly.
"Oh...... I hope Mr. Police can solve this case as soon as possible, thank you! Aryan said politely.
"You're welcome, it's my job, and I should do it." The policeman said to her in a friendly tone.
Leaving the police station, on the way home, Ara still kept thinking about the question that the police husband had asked her just now, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her boyfriend Ah Kun had something to do with that incident, but she was not sure. Aliang thinks that what Mr. Policeman just said is very reasonable: Evidence is needed to make a conclusion.
When he was in school, Ah Liang used to read some extracurricular reading publications such as classic mystery novels and suspense mystery books. For example, the Sherlock Holmes described in the classic mystery novel "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes" almost accompanied the growth of Aliang, a lover of mystery novels. Conan Doyle was not the most prominent detective novelist in history. But his Sherlock Holmes is known to everyone. Bizarre plot, gripping suspense, the smartest detective in the world, and the most mysterious case in the world...... Sherlock Holmes not only gave the criminals nowhere to hide, but also made Aral's brain cells excited.
In addition, the recent hot suspense mystery book "I Have Been to the World" described: red shroud, strangulation, burial pit...... Based on real events, restart the cold case and arrest the culprit. After reading it a few times, this made Aryan feel a little strange: Is there anything more terrible than her husband's cheating? Some; Is there anything more terrible than a husband killing someone? Some! The first time I read it, my heart was cold and congested, and the second time I read it, the temperature seeped out of the cold. The suspense is overwhelming, and the ending is beyond imagination! Full of stamina, the sense of loneliness, abyss, and consternation is indescribable! Even, the sentence in Aliang's review of the book at that time: "It's okay, it's okay, he just killed people, and he didn't love me." "It's quite impressive, it's a surprise. However, having been persecuted by gangsters not long ago, Ara is now a little afraid of the storylines of these mystery books.
Moreover, Arang, who is now entering social work, is less and less enthusiastic about mystery books as he was at the beginning. At present, she prefers to read the novels of the domineering president Tian Abuse Cinderella Liang. Because in real life, Aliang's search for the Diamond King Lao Wu has repeatedly hit a wall, so reading this kind of book can be regarded as comforting to his soul.
However, the knowledge brought by the love of reading mystery novels made Yaliang full of strong curiosity and desire to detective the case of his best friend Ah Tao being killed for no reason, but he felt panicked and scared because she was also one of the victims of the case, and she was just a little luckier than her best friend Ah Tao at the time of the crime, and met Mr. He Haiyang, the righteous man who saved her. Otherwise, she and her best friend A Tao would have died on the road to Huangquan and died exactly the same.
At this time, a burst of incoming calls rang from her mobile phone, pulling the imaginative Yaliang back to reality.
"Xiaoliang, why did you borrow a loan shark?! Is it to buy expensive and high-end bags, clothes and hand accessories, so I borrowed usury! Although it can solve the problem of shortage of funds in a short period of time and satisfy your desires, its interest is very high, causing itself to be overburdened, and some illegal usury with extremely high interest rates, often the borrower's income growth is not enough to pay the loan interest, if you can't repay the loan in time, it will cause family problems, or the wife will be separated, and the family will be ruined...... "It was a call from the mother, and before Yaliang could speak first, the mother on the other end of the phone scolded Yaliang with a face. But the more Aryan listened, the more confused he became, and he felt stunned.
"Mom, I didn't borrow loan sharks!" Aliang, who came to his senses after a while, immediately replied simply to his mother's series of questions.
"If you didn't borrow from a loan shark, why did four or five people surround me this morning and tell your dad that you owe money to pay your debts! Xiaoliang, now that it's happened, you have to tell the truth! Don't cheat on me and your dad anymore! Aunt Liu's voice began to be a little hoarse, and I saw that she couldn't help crying and spoke sadly to Yaliang.
"I'm telling the truth! I didn't deceive you! I've never borrowed from a loan shark! …… Mom, are you and Dad okay now? The word "containment" suddenly came to Arang's mind, and the terrifying drawings of the people pointing knives at the parties on the TV immediately appeared in front of Arang's eyes, so she immediately asked her mother in a concerned tone.
At this time, Aunt Liu wiped the tears on her face, and then continued to say in an admonishing tone: "Yaliang, just now your father and I were fortunate to meet lawyer He Haiyang, who flexibly used his professional knowledge to rescue me and your father!" Rest assured, your father and I are safe and sound. So don't be too anxious, be careful about hitchhiking home, and then we'll take a long-term view. ”
"Well, I see, goodbye!" After Ara hung up the phone, her heart was still terrified!
Back downstairs in the old town, Aliang involuntarily sat down on a bench in the park and began to sort out his thoughts. She desperately recalled two or three strange things that had happened to her recently......
After pondering for a moment, Yaliang immediately called his friend Hai Bing: "Hey, Hai Bing, it's me, Ya Liang." ”
"Aryan, what's wrong with you? I can hear that something is wrong with your voice. Zhang Haibing asked with concern.
So, Aryan told her in detail about the two or three strange things.
