Chapter.16 Waiting for nothing but regretting

"Actually, I saw him that day."

"Who?"

"Purple Shadow."

"..."

The open door was knocked three times, Huo Ya turned his head, Fang Leng was standing outside the door, his hands were trembling.

"Then why didn't you catch him?"

Huo Ya didn't like Fang Leng's tone. "Oh, what about you. Why didn't you do it then?"

You Haoxian was a little at a loss sitting in the back.He is still just a guest in this family, and what these two people are talking about seems to involve family affairs, so he can't get in his mouth.

Fang Leng's eyes suddenly became dazed, and he turned around lightly like a ghost and walked towards the stairs, which should be the attic where Fang Leng has been staying since You Haoxian came to Qingyi's house for so many days.Qingyi's house is a duplex, and Fang Leng was already there when You Haoxian moved in, but he seldom sees each other, and Qing's family pays attention to eating without talking, and if You Haoxian doesn't speak at the dinner table, there is no chance to listen to Fang Leng. After all, this seemed to be the first time Fang Leng said such a long sentence in front of him.

He heard Qingxuan roughly tell him something about Fang Leng.Fang Leng is an orphan. For some reason, he was adopted by Qing Yi since he was a child. He has the best relationship with Qing Yi's youngest son, Qing Shun. , now that the mission is over, he will come back to recuperate after the necessary security review, Qing Yi also arranged psychological counseling for him, but it has not been very effective, at least 24 hours out of 22 hours a day, he locked himself in the attic that It was originally in Qingshun's room.

You Haoxian asked Qingxuan, why did he do this, did the mission fail?Qingxuan said no, the mission was a success.

why?

Because he didn't bring Xiao Shun back.

You Haoxian didn't dare to ask further questions.He didn't know the details of the mission, and presumably Yuan wouldn't know either, but seeing Yuan's cold attitude on the other side, he could infer some past events, past events that no one dared to speak out easily.

And Huo Ya only came home in the middle of the night the day before yesterday, the familiar smell woke You Haoxian from his sleep, You Haoxian couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality for a while.He jumped out of bed and opened the door, stood at the door of the bedroom blankly and looked at the man in the living room. The man took off his coat and smiled at him, "Aren't you wearing shoes? You'll catch a cold." Then he walked over in three steps at a time. He picked him up and turned around, "Hey, it's lighter."

"Huo Ya..." You Haoxian hugged Huo Ya's neck, suddenly wanted to cry.Everyone in this family is very kind to him, the strong Qingyi, the gentle sister Yuan, the seasoned Qingxuan... But for some reason, the atmosphere in the family is always heavy, You Haoxian feels uncomfortable, like glue, He didn't even dare to breathe hard, now Huo Ya's return is like a driftwood handed from afar in the flood, he grabbed it with all his strength and didn't want to let go.

"Well, I'm back."

You Haoxian thought, there would be no better thing in the world than Huo Ya still by his side.

Fang Leng had already left, You Haoxian lowered his voice and asked, "Did you really see Ziying?"

"Probably so." Huo Ya recalled carefully, "With his hair color, Dana and Cang Li were also left behind to deal with the aftermath, who else but Ziying?"

"Then he..."

"Run away, we missed. Dana was shot."

Huo Ya said it lightly, You Haoxian was thrilled to hear it. "Did your mission succeed?"

"It's a success... We caught Cangli, he didn't have time to run away, and my mother said that he's waiting for the trial now."

"Oh..." You Haoxian tried his best to recall, and the figure of the young man who seemed to have a distant tone between his brows but was gentle gradually emerged. "He—did he stay on purpose?"

Huo Ya looked at him in surprise, "You are quite familiar with Cang Li."

"Is it acquaintance?" You Haoxian didn't know how to explain it, a few acquaintances, a nodding acquaintance may not be enough. "Is he all right now?"

"Not very good." Huo Ya paused, "I mean, the situation here is not very good. Maybe he feels at ease in his heart."

The north wind is howling.Qing Xuan, who had just come out of the detention center, tightened his collar, and called Qing Yi as soon as he got in the car.

"Cang Li really came prepared..."

"How to say?"

"He wants to apply for recusal on the grounds that I have grievances with him, which may affect the fair handling of the case."

"What, what kind of grievances do you have with him, and you want to avoid the prosecutor?" Qing Yi snorted coldly, "What about your chief prosecutor's opinion?"

"Probably because I don't want to create side effects, I have already signed and agreed."

"Old fox..." Qing Yi scolded, "Cang Li is determined to drag it to the end."

"Probably so. How did you persuade Xiao Fang?"

"He doesn't want to appear in court, I can't force him with a gun."

"Mom..." Qingxuan called out in a low tone, and the driver was startled. Prosecutor Qing, who is usually unsmiling, turned out to have such a gentle attitude towards his mother. "Don't say that. Xiao Fang has a problem. You should clear up his interests. He is not a person who doesn't understand things."

"Okay, I know." Qing Yi took the soft but not the tough, and she wouldn't put on a meaningless gesture after being begged so nicely by her son. "I will try my best."

Cangli's defense lawyer raised a dispute with the court—whether there was any "secret service lure" during the investigation, in order to question the legality of the evidence presented by the prosecution.For various reasons, the prosecution cannot use "statements" to replace investigators' appearance in court, so Fang Leng's appearance in court becomes very important, and can even influence the choice of judges, thereby affecting the final judgment of the court.

"Temporarily replace the public prosecutor?" Going back to Qingxuan at night, he told You Haoxian about this. You Haoxian, who had no experience in judicial practice, was shocked at the time, "Is it too sudden? The court will start in a few days!"

"His defense lawyer filed an application for recusal in today's pre-trial meeting." Qingxuan smiled helplessly, "You should have learned Article [-] of the "Criminal Prosecution Opinions". He can apply in court, Bringing it up now is already the result of taking a step back."

Qingxuan went to the detention center to meet with Cangli and ask about it. Of course, it's another matter if the latter didn't give a clear reply.

"Then Article No. 16 of the "Criminal Prosecution Opinion". If personal information cannot be disclosed in the face of personal safety risks, Fang Leng can also choose not to go to court." It stipulates that the evidence collected through technical investigation means is under the obligation of confidentiality in out-of-court meetings. Didn’t we meet these two conditions at the same time?”

"This is two different things, how do you read the book." Qingxuan knocked You Haoxian on the head, "The opposing lawyer proposed 'special service temptation', in order to achieve the effect of changing the death penalty to death with reprieve or indefinitely to a fixed term. No. 20 five articles,' Situational statement 'cannot appear in court in place of investigators, that is to say, Fang Leng may have concerns, but those concerns have to be resolved in other ways; In a sense, we lost."

He sighed, "After paying so much, don't you want to see them locked up for a few years?"

You Haoxian blinked, and from the corner of his eye, Fang Leng was standing behind them, and he didn't know how much they had listened to.

"Brother..." You Haoxian persuaded in a low voice, "Is it too...?"

"What's wrong?" Qingxuan turned his eyes away, and Fang Leng went to the attic. "You think we're going too far?"

"He actually—"

"Yes, he's actually right." Qingxuan cut him off, "We were the ones who vented our anger. He successfully completed the task. Your Aunt Qing shouldn't say that about him, and Sister Yuan should treat him well; but everything I said It is the truth, if he does not participate in the trial, things will have many more variables."

You Haoxian saw that his attitude was firm, and he had no position to persuade him, so he had nothing to say.

Qing Yi didn't come back for dinner in the evening, she was often away from home in the past two days, and she was used to it at home.This time Fang Leng didn't even eat the meal, Yuan asked You Haoxian to go up to the attic to shout, the door upstairs was closed, and there was no response when he knocked, so he simply ignored it, the four of them sat around and ate hastily, who was in the room? Didn't say anything.

Qing Yi came back early the next morning, You Haoxian smelled the familiar white orchid fragrance in half-dream and half-awake, raised his hand to push Huo Ya, saying that your mother is back.

Huo Ya fell into a drowsy sleep, and asked if you were dreaming, she was very busy, she came back early in the morning to spread hysteria.

You Haoxian was so angry that he slapped him hard on the shoulder, thinking that what else can you smell with your nose, it would be good if you could smell me.At least it woke him up, the two of them simply washed up and went to say hello to Qing Yi.Qing Yi was not in the living room, You Haoxian glanced at it, the door of the study was ajar.

There are several study rooms in the Qing family, but there is only one called "study room" by default, and it is basically used by Qing Yi as an office room. There are many professional books and materials in it, and no one comes in or out at will unless permitted.It was still early, and the house was terribly quiet, You Haoxian approached lightly, Qing Yi was facing him through the open door, keenly felt the mild mint smell of You Haoxian's approaching, raised his eyes and glanced, You Haoxian didn't Dare to knock on the door.

Huo Ya yawned, walked over and raised his foot to go in, You Haoxian quickly reached out to grab him, put his index finger to his lips to signal him to keep silent.

What's the matter?Huo Ya was puzzled, You Haoxian pointed inside and made a mouth shape.

square, cold.

"Tell me." Qing Yi leaned over to get the cigarette case on the table. "Don't keep your mouth shut."

"..." Fang Leng was silent for a while, then said, "Can you give me one?"

"Take it yourself, do you want me to serve you?"

You Haoxian who was outside the door quietly pinched his nose, two crisp sounds of a lighter, the whole study was suddenly shrouded in clouds and mist.

"It's not for yourself." Qing Yi dusted off the cigarette, "I watched you grow up, you shouldn't be such a person."

What a big hat, You Haoxian thought.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you." Fang Leng took a deep puff on the cigarette with his thumb and index finger, and Qing Yi frowned. . "I'm selfish."

He is selfish because he promised Qingshun that in the future... he will live a good life.

"Really?" Qing Yi was noncommittal. "Have you ever hated me?"

"You fed me, fed me, and sent me to study. I have nothing to hate."

Qing Yi laughed twice, "I, I probably hated it... Maybe I hated it, who knows. I raised you up, but in the end, a cub who didn't take care of me killed me, I am responsible I understand, but you will definitely become the object of my anger - so you don't hate me?"

"If Xiao Shun comes back, when he grows up, will you let him stay with me?"

"will not."

Qing Yi answered quickly and steadily, Fang coldly raised the corners of his lips, "It means you love him—so I don't hate him."

"You love him, and so do I, but I'm not qualified..." He said softly, "I want to live, is it hard to understand?"

"It's not like you." Qing Yi still said the same thing.

"Actually, we all know that it is very dangerous to testify in court." Fang Leng lowered his head, "Director Qing, there is nothing to say about this, we cannot prevent it."

You Haoxian was shocked by Fang Leng's tone of voice, he had never spoken to Qing Yi like this before.Unexpectedly, Qing Yi was no longer so aggressive, as if she had been poked at a sore spot, and seemed to have hit her heart that she wanted to be honest with each other.

"That's right." She stared at Fang Leng, and the blue smoke slowly surrounded her, as if she was intimidated by her and did not dare to approach. "So you have to think carefully about whether you want to go or not—I have given you enough time. The court is approaching, and the list of witnesses must be submitted as soon as possible. I think I should make it very clear."

Fang coldly lowered his eyes, he knew that Qing Yi didn't believe his excuses at all.

"It was you who acquiesced to Xiaoshun's 'voluntary'." He said.

Qing Yi shivered, the thin smoke rising from her fingertips trembled slightly.

"When he comes, I have a very bad feeling that this task will be ruined, and I will stay there forever." Fang Leng smiled with difficulty, "But you see, I am back. The price is that I failed to bring Let's go to Xiaoshun."

"I didn't do it on purpose, Aunt Qing." He covered most of his face with one hand, his voice choked up, "I should stop him, he is still so young, how can he do it well? I made a big mistake, it was me fault..."

Qing Yi frowned: "Stop talking."

"He just opened his eyes and died in front of me. I can't do anything, even take him away...I can't do it. I don't know how I survived, He//Luo//In? Really Good stuff..."

"Quit//drug//didn't stay enough? Talking nonsense again!" Qing Yi was furious, and slapped You Haoxian who was eavesdropping outside the door in fright, and fell back into Huo Ya's arms.Huo Ya hugged him lightly, Qing Yi who was inside the door cast a cold gaze towards this side, even Huo Ya didn't dare to answer, and quietly stepped aside again.

Fang Leng didn't hide, and laughed exaggeratedly, "Am I wrong? Without those things, I wouldn't be able to survive now! He knows I don't want him to cry, so he has to die laughing; I know little Shun wants me to live, so I have to live! It's fair, I promised him, I have to do it!"

He shouted at the top of his lungs, compared to Qing Yi who seemed much calmer - or rather, indifferent.

"Xiao Wu is Xiao Wu, you are you." She crushed the nearly burnt cigarette into the ashtray, "I can't control Xiao Wu, but you, I can still control you. I will give you time You procrastinate, this weekend at the latest, give me an answer if you want to go or not."

She got up and went straight out, You Haoxian quickly left Huo Ya's arms and stood up.Qing Yi didn't even look at them when she walked past them, You Haoxian couldn't help it, and stretched out his hand to grab Qing Yi's clothes.

"What's wrong?" Qing Yi caressed You Haoxian's cheek, Huo Ya turned away unhappily.

"If Fang Leng is unwilling—"

"He will go." Qing Yi smiled, but looked very tired.

"What if?"

"You," she rubbed You Haoxian's head, "He Xi, he really... raised you very well."

Qing Yi was right, Fang Leng finally agreed to appear in court as an investigator to explain the situation.You Haoxian sat in the auditorium waiting for the announcement of the opening of the court, and next to him was Qingxuan who took off his uniform and simply dressed.He lowered his head slightly, feeling a bit like falling into a dream, he couldn't believe that he was at the scene of the trial, and the suspect who was about to be tried was Ziying's accomplice.

The other party deserved what he deserved, but what about him, did he get revenge?

"Don't think too much." Qingxuan held the hand on his knee, which was cold. "It's all in the trial process, it's okay."

Qingxuan thought that he had guessed You Haoxian's mind, and thought that perhaps the matter of You's father and You's mother had left a shadow on the elementary school boy, so that he felt such fear when the court was about to start.You Haoxian tried his best to smile, "I'm fine. I'm afraid that if something goes wrong, they will get away with it."

Qingxuan curled the corners of his mouth in a steady manner, looking very confident, "At most it's just a delay, you can relax."

You Haoxian hummed, but he didn't get the slightest comfort from his senior brother.

He always felt that today's trial might not go well.

Everything went smoothly according to the procedure. When Cang Li was summoned to appear in court, You Haoxian took a closer look. It was not clear from a distance, but the calmness on Cang Li's face was very clear, as if he was laughing at his confusion and nervousness.He didn't know what kind of confidence Cang Li had to look so calm, he only knew that he had acquired a strange indifference, a sinful leisurely leisure, why did he panic?

He is not Qing Yi, who does not have all kinds of entangled and ambiguous helpless regrets about the past; he is not He Xi, who does not have a clear concept of what kind of life he should live these years; he just has a little bit of implicated and subtle regret , to Ziying, to the past, to the things he had missed, to those things that had the opportunity to grasp but eventually passed away.

In the final analysis, it is hate.A little is enough, enough for him to sit here, listen to the judge's sentence, and give those people the punishment they deserve.

When Fang Leng appeared in court, You Haoxian heard Qingxuan sighed very lightly.He looked at Qingxuan, who showed him a complicated smile, initially guilty, but finally relieved.

No noise was allowed during the trial, You Haoxian did not ask him in a low voice, maybe there would be no answer if asked.

"He doesn't have to come." Qingxuan explained, paused, and added: "He can even leave at any time."

You Haoxian looked at Fang Leng who was presenting the case investigation statement, and suddenly felt a little sad for him.

What kind of mood should this person be standing there, standing opposite Cangli, to justify himself for being detained as a "secret service lure"?

Facing Fang Leng's request to appear in court, Cang Li and his defense lawyer did not panic at all, and responded calmly, obviously coming prepared.When it came to the court debate, after the public prosecutor spoke, it was Cangli's turn. Cangli raised his hand to signal the judge to suspend the trial, and then refused his current defense lawyer to defend him again in court, requesting to appoint another defense lawyer.

There was an uproar.

The judge in the middle tapped the gavel, "Silence!"

The adjournment was held.

You Haoxian was a little unresponsive, "Brother...will the collegial panel agree?"

"There is no reason to refuse." Qingxuan frowned, and did not expect Cangli to come out like this. Who is this delaying for?

Cang Li glanced at You Haoxian from a distance, as if smiling.

All the judges returned to the seat, and the collegial panel agreed to Cangli's request, and at the same time announced that the trial of the case would be postponed, and the trial would continue after Cangli entrusted a defense lawyer.

The people who participated in the observation began to leave the venue in an orderly manner. Qingxuan went directly to his colleague from the procuratorate who was familiar with him and served as the public prosecutor this time. You Haoxian followed the people who left the venue and walked outside the court. For some reason, his heart relaxed , not witnessing the result this time didn't seem to be a bad thing for him.

Can those old things really be completely pronounced with a gavel?

Walking down the long steps of the Provincial High School, he looked back at the national emblem shining in the sun, stood and looked at it for a while, then took a step back, as if afraid of its strictness and dignity, he turned and left quickly.

On the way back, I received a call from an unfamiliar number, and You Haoxian swipe to answer it. The scenery outside the taxi window flew by, like all kinds of grotesques in a dream, gorgeous, broken, and irreversible.

"I'm leaving."

You Haoxian was silent for a long time, "Where are you going?"

——He, why would he call himself at this time?

"Caring about me." The other side actually laughed, "Didn't you say that they parted ways?"

"... Purple Shadow."

"I don't know where I'm going. It's just... I probably won't be coming back."

You Haoxian was at a loss for a while, knowing that it was impossible, he asked him cautiously: "Are you going to surrender?"

"I'm not guilty, so why turn yourself in." Zi Ying could hear that she wanted to laugh, but she didn't do it for a long time.

"Let's say goodbye," he said, "Goodbye, You Haoxian."

The phone was hung up.

You Haoxian stared blankly at the black screen of the phone that had not been operated for a long time, and suddenly raised his voice to the driver's seat: "Master, please go to the airport as soon as possible, okay?"

I heard people say that I am most afraid of suddenly understanding a song.

Ziying didn't understand before, but now she seems to understand a little bit.The male voice in the earphones sang slowly, and he waited in line to change his boarding pass, ready to embark on a journey to a foreign country.

It was thanks to Mo Xing that he was able to escape this time - to be precise, it was thanks to the favor owed by Mo Xing for helping Mo Lv win the right to meet with Zuo and the follow-up matters.Originally, he thought of taking the opportunity to get on the line to have further cooperation and development, but he had to use this opportunity on himself, so that he could completely get rid of the family business, and then successfully escaped under the noses of the police.

Once you board a plane that leaves this land, you can never come back.

[I heard your voice, and I also hide a heart that I dare not see. 】

It seems... is it like this?

He didn't know what time it was, he just hoped the flight could be delayed for whatever reason.The sky, which was still bright just now, was groggy, and the clouds were clumped together as if they were about to be pressed down, crumbling.

He broke into the waiting hall from an unknown direction, and there was a turbulent flow of people. Everyone seemed to be pushing him, preventing him from moving forward.

I have to find that person.Thinking of this, his footsteps became more and more impatient, and there was only one thought in his mind——

find that person.The one who said hello and was about to leave.

Thinking about it, he started running, and there seemed to be various roaring sounds in his ears, and he couldn't tell which was the sound of taking off and which was the warning of landing.He just felt that it was going to be too late, and the more anxious he became, the more flustered he was, running around like headless chickens, and it took him a while to remember to ask the staff.

——Don't go, I still have something to say.

The pointer in his heart clicked, time passed, and his thoughts were disturbed.

I'm going to find him, stop him--and tell him--what?

Obviously there is nothing to say, and when we meet again, we shouldn't even exchange pleasantries.

You Haoxian stood in the waiting hall where people came and went, feeling that the place was too empty.

"Sir, the boarding pass will be checked soon."

Ziying was at the end of the line, "Yes."

His eyes swept across the waiting hall behind him blankly.

did not come.

"Let's go."

The sky was overcast and falling, and the plane slowly slid across the runway, getting faster and faster, and finally broke away from the ground, put away its legs and rushed towards the sky.

He lay on his stomach and stared blankly at the floor-to-ceiling window, a sudden and sharp needle pierced into the bottom of his heart, squeezing out a trace of inexplicable pain.

An inexplicable premonition told him that he would never see that person again.

Never again.

"he's gone."

In the blink of an eye, You Haoxian saw Huo Ya standing straight behind him with no expression on his face.

"You already knew?"

Huo Ya hummed.After You Haoxian asked, he thought he was a little stupid, if Huo Ya didn't release the water, would Ziying be able to leave here smoothly.

"Not coming back, is it?"

Huo Ya didn't say anything.

You Haoxian lowered his head and smiled, "I know, he won't come back."

The backside was suddenly bright, and the sun jumped out from the stacked clouds, suddenly grand and contrasting, and instantly gave birth to infinite warmth.

Turning around suddenly, the plane has long been flying to nowhere.
