Chapter 313: The Coward and the Murderer
Rushing forward, followed by a 'drill' punch that even the master of the technique could not guard against, and using these two movements alone or in combination six or seven times, Zhang Lisheng put down all the black youths who robbed the road.
After that, he stepped on the ankle-length rain, walked over to the two men and a woman who seemed to be out of danger, looked at the frightened and shivering Asian girl's delicate face, frowned, took off his coat, and draped it over the girl's body.
After that, the young man shouted at Guo Caiying, who was stunned with wide eyes next to the RV: "Senior sister, I'm not very good at comforting people, you can take Senior Sister Chuhe on the bus, she looks frightened." ”
"Chu He, Chu He, there's nothing to do, there's nothing to do..."Hearing this shout, Guo Caiying suddenly came to her senses, hurriedly ran to her friend's side, hugged her and whispered comfort.
"Cai Ying, it's you, is it you, Cai Ying, I, I, I..." Seeing Guo Caiying's face close at hand, Ai Chuhe touched it as if he didn't believe it, and after knowing that everything in front of him was not an illusion, he suddenly couldn't help himself and buried his head on the shoulder of his close friend and cried.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, if you cry, there will be nothing to do, and if you cry, there will be no trouble..."Guo Caiying gently patted her friend's back and comforted her in a low voice.
As she spoke, she looked at the faces of the two male companions beside Ai Chuhe, who looked like chickens that were drenched in soup and looked like wooden chickens, and her body suddenly stiffened.
After being silent for a while, the girl turned her gaze to Zhang Lisheng, who was standing in the rain with a calm and calm expression from beginning to end, as if she wanted to say something.
But in the end, I felt that the most important thing in front of me was to calm my friend. So as not to leave a psychological wound that is difficult to heal, all did not speak, but said, "Chu He, it's too cold, don't catch a cold, let's get in the car first." He walked towards the SUV with his friend in his arms.
Looking at the backs of the two girls gradually moving away, the taller of the two young men who were robbed in the rain seemed to be suddenly awakened by the cold rain. Trembling on the ground, he felt his tattered glasses with broken lenses hanging on the bridge of his nose. After a few steps, he opened his mouth and explained in a low voice: "Our car was walking and walking, and the window suddenly ..."
"Don't say it. Let Chu He calm down for a while. Guo Caiying interrupted the embarrassed man behind her without looking back.
"Me. I. It's not that Xiaobao and I don't want to do it, but we can't beat them. There are many of them, and they are armed with knives..."
"Don't say it, I understand. Feeling that her friend's shoulders began to tremble again, Guo Caiying yelled irritably and helped Ai Chuhe into the RV.
At this time, Zhang Lisheng had already sat in the car first, and after handing the two hot coffees to the two girls, he looked at the depressed young man outside the car door, and suddenly said: "Senior Bingya is actually doing the right thing, he wants to do his best but can't do anything, you can't let him go to death." ”
"Then he can watch the girls he knows being bullied," Guo Caiying suddenly burst out: "This girl is still in danger if she is pulled hard by him!"
Zhang Lisheng paused for a moment, waved his hand helplessly, and said, "I just said that according to logical analysis...
Forget it, I made the mistake of arguing with women again, when I didn't say anything, senior, do I need to turn up the heater?"
The young man had already given in, but the girl's mood was even more upset, looking at Luo Bingya who was stunned in the rain outside the car, the irrepressible disappointment in her heart forced her to yell at Zhang Lisheng uncontrollably: "What's wrong with women, is it reasonable to divide men and women, don't pretend to be a good person."
I'll let you say, tell you the truth, if you meet a girlfriend or, or a girl with a very good relationship, who is bullied by a hooligan robber, what will you do before you are beaten down?"
Zhang Lisheng turned his head pretending not to hear and did not speak, while Luo Bingya outside the car door trembled slightly in the night rain.
"Let me ask you Zhang Lisheng, what do you say, if it were you, what would you do?" Seeing the painful appearance of the man outside the car, Guo Caiying also felt a pain in her heart and felt an inexplicable relief, gritted her teeth and asked toughly.
Being questioned like this made Zhang Lisheng's face finally gloomy, he turned his head again, smiled coldly and said: "Senior sister, when encountering this kind of thing, everyone's choice is different, and it is difficult to tell whether it is right or wrong, my choice may not be much better than others." ”
"But you're not going to be a coward at the very least, are you?"
"But a murderer is not necessarily better than a coward," many thoughts flashed through the young man's heart, and finally he made up his mind and replied calmly: "To be honest, my personality is very extreme, and when I encounter people I don't know and are bullied by gangsters, I generally don't care about their life or death;
And when someone I know is bullied, I will send those gangsters to death. ”
"Ha, it's really terrible, I know you, Chu He also knows you, why don't you let those robbers die?"
"There is twenty centimeters of water on the ground, and the seven black men have fallen face down on the ground for more than..."Zhang Lisheng looked at the watch on the car, stared at Guo Caiying's eyes and smiled, "It's been ten minutes, do you think they are still alive?"
This bland sentence carried a creepy cold wind drifting through Guo Caiying's ears, causing the girl's body to stiffen, and the inexplicable anger in her heart disappeared in an instant.
And Ai Chuhe, who was hugging her, suddenly raised her head and widened her eyes, looking at the young man in front of her in amazement.
"Don't worry, smashing the windows of a driving car and blatantly robbing it is a crime of first-degree murder according to the laws of any state in the United States, not to mention that although the cause of the death of these gangsters is that they faint due to being hit by an external force, the main cause is drowning.
In the case of a lawyer team composed of the best criminal prosecution lawyers in the United States, the district attorney in California will never prosecute a 'good citizen' who has acted bravely to stop crime. Facing the frightened eyes of the two girls, Zhang Lisheng explained calmly.
And what happened after that turned out was just as the youth had expected, a few orphans who were born and were violently stopped by righteous and courageous people when they committed crimes of attempted murder, robbery and attempted rape, and thus accidentally drowned, in the eyes of the California District Attorney, are not worth wasting too much judicial cost.
Except for the thrilling nature of the incident, which attracted the attention of some websites and tabloid reporters, Zhang Lisheng had to dilute it through his gradually plumping wings, and only delayed for a few hours at the police station to record a confession, and the young man handed over everything else to his own lawyer team, and easily got out of trouble.
In the days that followed, he casually haunted the classrooms and major libraries of Stanford University where there were basic biology courses, and even walked on the road holding a tablet, watching biology lectures on the campus LAN, relying on the absolute calm state spawned by witchcraft to gradually make up for the shortcomings of the slightly insufficient biological theoretical foundation.
In the blink of an eye, the Christmas holiday has arrived, because the tribal expansion on the 'shrimp B1 island' is imminent, and he has already made up his mind, Zhang Lisheng, who will not go home this Christmas, directly called his mother on the grounds that the double pressure of schoolwork and laboratory work is too great, and told her his plans.
"Mom, my supervisor and I have made a critical development in research recently, the experiment must not be left behind, and if you want to get your PhD next year, you must make up for the basic knowledge of biology that you owe before, otherwise you may encounter trouble in the defense, in short, my time is too tight now, and I may not be able to go home this Christmas. ”
"It's okay baby," Lili was inevitably gloomy after receiving such a call from her son, but after being silent for a while, she still pretended to be relaxed and agreed, "But pay attention to rest, don't be too tired, you must sleep for eight hours a day..."
In the early winter, the temperature in Stanford City, California has dropped sharply to below zero, Zhang Lisheng wears gray clothes all day, patiently listens to his mother's chatter in the empty campus, and whispers from time to time: "Yes, don't worry, Mom." ”
After talking about sleep, talking about eating, talking about keeping warm... Lili was like a son or a child on the other side of the phone, and she didn't stop for more than ten minutes before she reluctantly hung up the phone.
After ending the phone call with his mother, the young man let out a long sigh of relief and dialed his girlfriend's number again.
In the previous calls, Tina had already understood Zhang Lisheng's thoughts, so as soon as the phone was connected, she said regretfully: "Honey, don't you really plan to go back to New York for Christmas?"
"Yes, but isn't Mr. Dubidy going to take your family on a round-the-world trip aboard the St. Louis this Christmas, and what does it matter if I can't go back to New York?"
"Of course, at least I'll be able to see you before I leave New York Harbor. ”
"Oh, okay, I'll adjust the time and meet you at the port before heading back to Shrimp Island B1. ”
"Baby, you're getting more and more intimate now, but I'm a girl who doesn't know how to be satisfied, and if I can see each other, I'd better do something else. ”
Zhang Lisheng paused for a moment, and was about to answer, when he suddenly felt someone approaching behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw two girls of similar height, one with long hair and a shawl, and one with short hair and ears, who were hesitantly walking towards him, and when he saw the young man suddenly turn around, he was obviously startled.
The two girls are Guo Caiying and Ai Chuhe, and they have not been in contact with Zhang Lisheng since that thrilling rainy night.
"Senior Sister Cai Ying, Senior Sister Chu He, is there something wrong?" Seeing the panicked looks of the two, the young man smiled and asked casually.
"Of course, of course, it's too cold on the road, let's go to the café and talk. Seeing the calm smile on Zhang Lisheng's face, thinking of his cold shot in the drizzle that night, Guo Caiying's heart trembled, and she opened her mouth silently for a while before pointing to a campus coffee shop that was still open on the side of the road and said.
