Chapter 4 Devil Special Training 3564
Is there Aunt Zhang?I saw her coughing for days. "
Jia Fang, a migrant girl who rents here, also echoed: "Yes, yes, I should ask Aunt Zhang to come and see. She has been coughing very badly recently, and her lungs are about to be coughed out. Every night, I can hear her from upstairs." Coughing. She has been ill for so long, and she has no relatives to take care of her, it's really pitiful."
Hearing what Jia Fang said, an old lady with gray hair and wearing a yellow vest shook her head and sighed, "Aunt Zhang is really suffering. After her daughter jumped off the building, she became a little crazy, and her husband left her alone. .”
An old man waving a cattail fan asked in surprise, "Aunt Zhang has a daughter? Why haven't I heard of it? Why did you jump off the building?"
"That's right! What's going on, Mama Wang, tell everyone quickly."
Wang Ma has lived in Plum Village for more than 40 years, and she likes to talk about things about the family and the family when she has nothing to do. Seeing that the neighbors in the neighborhood are so interested in listening to the stories, she also became energetic and chatted with everyone about some old things: "That happened about ten years ago. Aunt Zhang had a daughter who was studying in City No. [-] Middle School. She heard that she was dumped when she fell in love at school, so she jumped off the building at school. I heard that she died on the spot."
The middle-aged woman who was holding the child interjected: "It's so miserable! Oh, I said that it's bad for children to fall in love early."
Wang Ma pointed to her head and continued: "Aunt Zhang was stimulated by this. This place became a little unclear. For a while, she kept yelling that her daughter was killed by someone."
"Isn't it!" Jia Fang showed a terrified expression, and said mysteriously to everyone: "Let me tell you, not long ago in the corridor, I went upstairs, and Aunt Zhang went downstairs. The news pictures that came out suddenly went crazy, pointing at my mobile phone, saying something like 'daughter...the murderer', and trying to grab my mobile phone."
Jia Fang patted her heart: "Fortunately, I ran fast. Her appearance scared me badly. I didn't dare to pass her house for several days. Later, I went home and looked at the news photo. Not a murderer at all, just a student who cheated on an exam, but it seems to be from Changzhou..."
Xiao Wei was busy writing the instructions for taking the medicine, the pen suddenly paused, only to realize that he had made a typo, so he quickly crossed out and rewritten.
Wang Ma turned to Xiao Li from the street office and said, "Comrade Xiao Li, why don't you go upstairs and ask Aunt Zhang to come down to see a doctor. Anyway, it doesn't cost money."
After hearing Jia Fang's words, Xiao Li was afraid that Aunt Zhang would go crazy, so he hesitated and said, "I think... let's forget it. Aunt Zhang has rheumatism, and her legs and feet are not good... There is no one in our building. It's not convenient for her to take the elevator."
Xiao Wei saw Xiao Li's embarrassment, and suggested very empathetically: "How about this, Mr. Li, please show me the way, and I will come to see the patient."
Now that this point has been said, Xiao Li is too embarrassed to shirk, so he bites his head and takes Xiao Wei to knock on the door of Aunt Zhang's house.
Xiao Li has also worked in the street office for several years, and usually shows his face in various publicity and household investigations. Aunt Zhang has naturally seen him. After explaining his purpose, Aunt Zhang politely greeted the two Please come in.
In order to save electricity bills, the lights were not turned on in the house.Walking into Aunt Zhang's house, even though Xiao Wei's nose has been poisoned by alcohol disinfectant for many years and his sense of smell is not very sensitive, he can still smell a strange musty smell.
Aunt Zhang's face was unhealthy sallow, her eyes were swollen, and her lips were bloodless.I don't know if it's because of the dim light in the room, Xiao Li always feels a little panicky.
Xiao Wei didn't want Xiao Li to stay here and get in the way, so he found a reason to let Xiao Li go first.
Xiao Li was eager to leave as soon as possible, and exchanged some polite words with Xiao Wei, but he left Aunt Zhang's house as quickly as if his feet had been oiled.
☆、Dangerous situation
Early in the morning on the weekend, it began to rain lightly.
The sewer in the toilet was once again foul-smelling, but Jia Fang had no time to complain. She got up late this morning, washed up, put on makeup and changed clothes in a hurry, and went out with an umbrella and bag before even having breakfast.
Jia Fang works in a shopping mall in the city center, with a monthly salary of just over 2000 yuan. If she does full attendance for a month without being late, she can get a bonus of 300 yuan.For many people, it may be the price of a meal, but three hundred yuan is enough for her to pay for water, electricity and telephone bills for a month.
"Oh, you don't have eyes when you walk!"
Passing by the door of Aunt Zhang's house, I didn't expect someone to push the door and come out.Jia Fang dashed down the steps, couldn't stop, and just hit the man's back shoulder with her nose.Jia Fang was so knocked into tears that she was about to shed tears. Regardless of whether she made sense or not, she just scolded.
The man turned his head to look at Jia Fang, said softly: "Sorry!", then turned around and walked downstairs quickly with his head down.That way, he looks more in a hurry than someone like Jia Fang who is late for work.
If you run so fast, you can't be a thief, right?
Jia Fang thought about it, the people living in Plum Village were all poor, and no one wanted to sell second-hand scraps of copper and iron at home, so there was no thief who would not want to come here to steal things.
Jia Fang shook her head, got rid of these messy thoughts, and stepped on her high-heeled shoes to rush to work.
----
In the evening, Gao Cheng called Gu Tao: "The fish has been hooked, so be careful."
Gu Tao: "Well, remember to take care of the aftermath on your side."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Tao stood in front of the window expressionlessly.
It was raining lightly outside the house, and the rain fell on the windows with the wind, and then gathered into water droplets and slowly slid down the windows. The window glass vaguely reflected Gu Tao's figure against the background of the night, and was then distorted and deformed by the rain .
After a while, Gu Tao got out of this fugue state, and when he came back to his senses completely, he found that he had dialed Xu Jinghan's phone by accident.
"What are you doing, dear? Did you miss me?" It took only a moment for him to switch back to his energetic state, and said on the phone in a somewhat ambiguous and ruffian voice.
Hearing Gu Tao's familiar tone, Xu Jinghan's facial expression became relaxed, and the originally depressed mood became blue and clear like the sky washed by a shower.
Being ordered by the boss to work overtime on weekends, changing the materials for a day, only to find out that the key was left in the office when I walked to the door... After receiving Gu Tao's call, these bad things suddenly became insignificant.
"What if I say I don't want to?" Under Gu Tao's deliberate pampering and training, Xu Jinghan would occasionally reveal a boyish naughty side.
"Oh, then I'm sad, maybe I'll drive to Rongcheng right away to find some comfort." Even though he knew that Xu Jinghan couldn't see him at this time, Gu Tao still made a heart-warming expression.
Xu Jinghan was worried that Gu Tao, an activist, would really get mad and drove to Rongcheng at night, so he begged for mercy with a smile: "No, don't mess around so late. I have to go to work tomorrow morning, and I don't have the energy to mess with you toss."
"You know I'm afraid! Then do you miss me now?" Gu Tao is like a child who wants candy, playing rascal without any scruples.
Xu Jinghan originally wanted to coax him to follow Gu Tao's intentions, but he didn't expect the words to come out of his mouth, and his heart beat faster: "I miss you very much, Gu Tao."
"..."
Perhaps it was because of a tacit understanding, Gu Tao, who was thousands of miles away, was taken aback for a moment, put away his playful expression, and said in a very serious tone: "I miss you very much, Jing Han. Things on my side will soon come to an end." There is a conclusion, waiting for me."
----
Changzhou Plum Village.
Jia Fang recently got a windfall. Taking advantage of the shopping mall's activities, she gritted her teeth and bought a set of cosmetics worth more than 500 yuan for herself. She even invited a few friends to eat hot pot.Seeing that Iron Rooster is so generous, her friends stared straight at her, and asked her repeatedly if she had met any benefactors.Jia Fang smiled smugly, and only said that she did a little favor for her friend and made some extra money.
Returning home from get off work in the evening, Jia Fang saw several neighbors in the building moving things from Aunt Zhang's house.Thinking of the past few days, Jia Fang grabbed Wang Ma who came out with a casserole in her arms.
"Aunt Wang, is this aunt moving?"
Wang Ma smiled happier than when she snatched two bags of discounted rice in the supermarket before, and the wrinkles on her face deepened a bit.
"Your Aunt Zhang's nephew is going to pick her up to live in the provincial capital. I'm afraid the pots and pans at home won't be needed, so Aunt Zhang asked the big guys to see if there is anything that can be used, even if it's divided. I won't tell you, I'll have to take this casserole home and put it away, and then I'll see what else is good."
After finishing speaking, Wang Ma turned around and walked down the stairs briskly, shaking the flesh on her waist.
Jia Fang glanced at Aunt Zhang's house through the half-open door. There were several people in the house picking things up, even the plastic stools in Wang Ma's house. Compare.
Uncle Feng, who lived on the seventh floor, held a half barrel of oil in his left hand and a bundle of hangers in his right. He thanked Aunt Zhang and said a few flattering words like "I envy her that she will go to the provincial capital to enjoy happiness" before laughing. Then I left Aunt Zhang's house.
Aunt Zhang was sitting alone in the corner of the sofa, her head was half down, her eyes were a little dull.When others talked to her, she didn't answer much, just nodded slightly.
Looking at Aunt Zhang's appearance, Jia Fang felt a little uneasy in her heart.She tiptoed to avoid all kinds of sundries on the ground, ignoring those who were still rummaging through boxes and cabinets, walked straight to Aunt Zhang, bent down and asked Aunt Zhang softly: "I heard that Aunt Zhang is going to the provincial capital tomorrow. that--"
Jia Fang didn't know what to say for a while.
In fact, she and Aunt Zhang did not have a deep relationship, except that they sometimes met in the stairwell, and occasionally came to Aunt Zhang to borrow some small things such as candles and needles and thread for emergency.
"Is your relative driving to pick you up? Or do you take the high-speed rail yourself, or should I take a taxi to pick you up?"
"..." Aunt Zhang still didn't respond. After a while, Jia Fang thought that Aunt Zhang would not talk to her anymore, but saw Aunt Zhang shook her head, then took her hand and patted it gently: "Good boy, my daughter If you are still alive, you will be as old as you, so take good care of yourself."
As she said that, Aunt Zhang's eyes turned red, and she took out a handkerchief from her pocket, and silently wiped away the tears that fell down.After that, no matter what Jia Fang said, she stopped talking.
Jia Fang had no choice but to sigh, turned and left Aunt Zhang's house.
----
Since Xu Jinghan went to Rongcheng, Gu Tao has returned to living alone, but even without the pressure of the public exam, he still maintains the habit of going to bed early and getting up early.
Recently, Gu Tao went back to the book café near his home every afternoon. In addition to reading books on finance and economics that he was interested in, he also started to look through the bestsellers on humanities and social sciences.In particular, Xu Jinghan wrote reading notes on Weibo, even if he didn't have much interest, he would browse through them roughly, and whenever he had insights, he would call Xu Jinghan to share with Xu Jinghan at night, which also expanded a lot of chat topics for the two of them.
After the lunch break, Gu Tao walked into the book cafe with a newly opened book on time like clocking in at work, went to the front desk and ordered a cup of snow top coffee, and then sat in his usual corner.Gu Tao read a dozen or so pages of the book at a stretch, until he became more and more sleepy and yawned several times, then stood up, stretched his waist, and decided to go home early to rest.
"Oh——" Gu Tao couldn't help but yawned again.
You obviously took a nap, why are you still so sleepy?He stuffed the book into his backpack, put the backpack on his shoulder with his backhand, and walked out of the book cafe.
At this time, he didn't notice that a thin figure was slowly approaching him along the wall of the book cafe.
Gu Tao took out the folding umbrella and shook it. Just as he was about to open it, a man jumped out from his side and stabbed him with a gleaming sharp knife in his hand.
Gu Tao's body, which has been bouncing around in the gym all year round, showed agility that was significantly better than that of a dead house at a critical moment. He turned sideways and blocked the sudden blow with the backpack on his shoulder.
The perpetrator did not give up, roaring and pounced on him again.
Gu Tao took a few steps back, narrowly dodged it, and at the same time saw that the person who came was just a five or sixty-year-old old woman, and he suddenly felt confident.
He reached out to snatch the sharp knife from the opponent's hand, but at this moment, he found that his vision became blurred, his brain was dizzy like drunk, and his body gradually lost control.
Gu Tao was startled suddenly: Oops, it's probably drugged!
The old woman waved the knife in her hand indiscriminately. Gu Tao couldn't exert any strength, so he could barely resist it with the umbrella in his hand, but his arms were still scratched several times, and blood dripped down the arms to the ground, and screams, cries.
The severe pain stimulated Gu Tao to wake up a little bit. He gritted his teeth, exerted all his strength, kicked the old woman to the ground, and then took the opportunity to retreat into the bookstore and pull the glass door shut.
Before closing his eyes, Gu Tao seemed to see a male clerk running over and putting an iron lock on the doorknob for the last time.
Gu Tao felt his whole body was heavy, as if he was covered with a thick blanket in winter, making it hard to breathe.
There was a grotesque scene in front of him, red and blue lights flickering, which made people's eyes hurt. He subconsciously wanted to cover the annoying glare with his hands, but his hands seemed to be uncontrollable.I seem to be in a crowded market, with noisy and chaotic voices and car horns.I don't know how long it took, but the surrounding area became much quieter, and the glare of the glare finally dissipated.
The scene changed suddenly, Gu Tao looked around, he seemed to be in a school.As if there was some guidance somewhere, Gu Tao walked across the playground, bypassed the science and technology building directly in front of the flag-raising square, and came to a teaching building.
He remembered, this is Changzhou No. [-] Middle School.
The students stepped on the desks curiously, and lay down by the window to watch the excitement.Gu Tao stood at the door of the classroom with a dazed expression. Four burly security guards dragged Bai Jingyi's mother's hands and feet outward.
Zhang Xuemei's eyes were red, and she shouted hoarsely: "You killed my daughter, you are a murderer..."
Gu Tao didn't have the courage to keep silent like he did back then, and he didn't know where he came from. He shouted to Zhang Xuemei, "I'm not a murderer! You know in your heart that Bai Jingyi jumped off the building by herself."
For some reason, the surrounding scene suddenly became unreal, and a man covered in blood walked towards him step by step, muttering in his mouth: "Why do you want to kill me...why do you want to kill me..."
This scene was Gu Tao's lingering nightmare for many years, waking him up from his peaceful sleep night after night.Gu Tao still remembers that every time he saw this scene in his dream, he would turn his head and run away.
But this time he didn't move, and even reached out to touch Bai Jingyi's bloody face: "I know this is a dream, and those who killed you are those who spread rumors. In the final analysis, your heart is too fragile. And I am no longer afraid of the past, You are no longer a nightmare."
It seemed that someone was talking vaguely around, and the blood on Bai Jingyi's body disappeared all of a sudden, and she resumed her attire when she was alone carrying water in the Flag Raising Square, with a hazy halo on her face, which made it hard to see her eyebrows and eyes clearly. The halo gradually expanded, and the image of Bai Jingyi slowly dissipated.
☆, previous cause and effect
"The patient lost too much blood..."
"Woooooo... I don't care if I'm sick or not, I'm just such a son... I must pay for my life"
"A crazy woman who suddenly came to seek revenge after more than ten years?... I haven't retreated to the second line, so don't use the outside world to perfuse me"
……
Gu Tao struggled and barely opened his eyes.I moved my fingers lightly, and found that the infusion needle was pricking the back of my hand.
The small movement suddenly alarmed Huang Xin who was sitting by the hospital bed and dozed off.
"Son, you're awake!" Huang Xin stood up excitedly from the chair, walked to the door of the ward and asked the nurse to call the doctor quickly, and then returned to the bedside again.
"Is there any discomfort in my son? The anesthetic is over now, is the wound a little painful?" Huang Xin asked about Gu Tao's situation, while reaching out to touch Gu Tao's forehead, and found that Gu Tao did not have a fever again, so he breathed a sigh of relief .
Gu Tao saw his mother's hair was pulled back greasyly, her eyes were red and swollen, she looked like she had cried, the foundation on her face had long since taken off her makeup, and she looked very haggard, a feeling of guilt suddenly arose in her heart.He silently said "I'm sorry!" to his mother in his heart.
The doctor came soon, checked the data of the equipment briefly, asked Gu Tao a few more questions, and assured Huang Xin that the patient's condition was all right before leaving.
Gu Tao's injury was not life-threatening. Firstly, Zhang Xuemei's body was weak and her strength was limited even if she went crazy. Second, Gu Tao didn't hurt her vitals.He was in a coma for a day and a night mainly due to drugs.
Even so, Gu Tao stayed in the hospital for two full weeks under Huang Xin's strong request.During the period, the police came twice and asked in detail about the details of the incident.
The elders of the Gu family also came to visit him from Changzhou, but they only told him to cultivate well, but they never mentioned the attack.
Gu Tao's heart is like a bright mirror.This matter involved Bai Jingyi's tragedy more than ten years ago, and he almost had a nervous breakdown because of it, so the elders kept this secret, fearing that it would arouse his knot again.
Time may really be the best healing medicine in the world. When Gu Tao faced the crazy Zhang Xuemei holding a sharp knife again after more than ten years, he no longer had the slightest fear in his heart.After returning home, I slept peacefully for several days without having any more nightmares.
Gu Tao took out the sleeping pills and antidepressants hidden in the drawer beside the bed, turned around and threw them into the trash can - now he no longer needs these.
When Wang Yi, Xu Rui and other friends got the news, Gu Tao had already gone to the hospital to remove the stitches. The doctor said that his wound was recovering well, and there was no caterpillar-like wound, but the newly grown skin was still slightly different from the surrounding skin. .
Fan Xiaoxue looked at Gu Tao's wound: "Brother Tao, do you want to have laser scar removal? I have a friend who is in aesthetic medicine, so I can ask you."
Xu Rui still looked heartless: "Xiaoxue, you don't understand, scars are men's medals, have you noticed that Gu Tao has become more manly?"
Fan Xiaoxue gave Xu Rui a white look: "If you are envious, why don't you go and give yourself two knives and leave a medal?" She didn't forget to wave her hand and make two gestures in the air.
Xu Rui quickly shook his head and said: "Don't, don't, I'm afraid of pain, this medal is not worth it."
"Brother Tao can actually get a tattoo to cover it up. It's been very popular in the past two years, and now the civil service exam is not limited to this." He Xudong looked at the five to six centimeter wound on the outside of Gu Tao's right arm and suggested.
Gu Tao didn't care much about the scars on his body, but he didn't want Xu Jinghan to worry, so he followed Fan Xiaoxue's suggestion to repair the scars.Other places are fine, but the repair effect of the cut on the right arm is not good.
Gu Tao finally decided to use tattoos to cover up the scars. He selected several designs from the tattoo studio, took photos and sent them to Xu Jinghan on WeChat.
Gu Tao: "[Picture] [Picture] [Picture]"
"?" Xu Jinghan looked confused after seeing the message after get off work.
Gu Tao: "Jing Han helped me choose a style, and I plan to get one tattooed on my right arm. Recently, a friend I met in the gym tried to pull me to get a tattoo, but I couldn't resist, so I agreed."
Xu Jinghan had no doubt about him, and replied, "Let me take a look first, and get back to you tomorrow."
Said to take a look, thinking that these patterns are likely to stay on Gu Tao's body for a long time, Xu Jinghan showed a cautious attitude of scientific research, searched various information about tattoos on the Internet, and listed tattoo dyes, precautions, bad The consequences have been studied.Then organize the data into a document and send it to Gu Tao.
Gu Tao: "..." Darling, I just let you pick a pattern, okay?
Looking at a dozen or so pages of written material that looked like a thesis, Gu Tao simply didn't know what to say.
Xu Jinghan: "This is like a minor surgery. There are more or less risks. It may cause infection and allergies. I suggest you not to get tattoos. If you really want to get tattoos, choose the second one. It's simpler."
Gu Tao: "Then I'll think about it!"
Because Xu Jinghan didn't approve of his own tattoo, Gu Tao decided to go for another course of scar removal to see the effect.
----
In order to avoid suspicion, Gu Tao didn't want to come forward directly to inquire about the progress of the case. It was not until Gao Cheng came to visit him that he brought more news.
"Zhang Xuemei insisted that she was the only one who injured someone with a knife this time, and she also had sufficient motives for committing the crime. It's a pity that Zhang Xuemei had been ill for a long time and was too weak, so someone had to give her a stimulant in advance, and also Buy off the part-time students in the book cafe to drug you. This is what left the leak."
Gu Tao, who had just finished laser scar removal, still had an itchy wound, he gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that he really wants to kill me, and I still haven't figured out where the enmity between him and me came from. "
But since even Gao Cheng knew the inside story, his father and uncle must have taken action, and he didn't need to intervene in the following matters.
"By the way, how is Zhang Xuemei doing now?" Gu Tao asked worriedly.
Although Bai Jingyi's death was not his fault, but it was more or less caused by him, so he still felt a little guilty.He didn't quite agree with Gao Cheng's plan to use Zhang Xuemei to lure Xiao Wei at first.
It's just that Gao Cheng couldn't hold back his repeated persuasion——
"Zhang Xuemei became crazy long after her daughter's accident. Considering her mental state, the court is more likely to send her to a mental hospital instead of a prison. At that time, I will find a relationship and send her to the best mental hospital in Yuzhou for treatment." At least there are people there to take care of her, it's better than she is now alone in the village in the city to fend for herself."
As a well-known lawyer, Gao Cheng has seen many second-generation officials and second-generation rich people.Some of them have fully explained what it means to be "better than you were born and work harder than you", and they are sure to become winners in life; Drug-addicted social scum; of course, more of them are mediocre people who rely on their families to dawdle.
And Gu Tao is undoubtedly a very special one.
He obviously has a lot of scheming and means, and he has played a lot of legal sidelines when doing business.There is no mercy to business rivals, and it is also possible for people to lose their homes and wives.But on the other hand, Gu Tao has a kind of sympathy for the disadvantaged, and occasionally has a certain sense of justice.
Just like what happened to Zhang Xuemei this time, not long after Gu Tao woke up in the hospital, he secretly called to remind him to be the guarantor.
"Don't worry, the psychiatric medical appraisal has come out, and other procedures have to wait. I have already reserved a bed in Nanshan Mental Hospital."
Gao Cheng suddenly thought of another thing.
"By the way, the police found Xiaoxue's house a few days ago. I'm afraid they can't hide the fact that Xiao Wei poisoned Zhao Qin."
Gu Tao looked at Gao Cheng, with a teasing look on his face: "That's fine, Xiaoxue is probably in a bad mood these days, and it's inconvenient for me as a wounded and sick person, so I'm going to trouble Lawyer Gao a lot." .”
Gao Cheng's smile finally became more sincere: "I will do my best."
Gu Tao saw Xiao Wei again in the detention center.
This place is the same as a university, and its transformation of human image is comparable to a plastic surgery hospital, but the effect of the two is just the opposite.No matter how you usually look like a dog, if you stay here for a few days, your image and temperament will not be much different from those who pick up junk by the roadside.Even some celebrities who committed crimes can't stand it, not to mention that Xiao Wei is not as good-looking as some male celebrities.
Xiao Wei was sitting on a chair in handcuffs. His hair, which was not combed enough, is now fluffy and messy, and there is a small twist of hair on the back of his neck that is turned outward. His eyes are blue and purple and swollen, as if he has been up for several nights. The lips are also unshaven, making him look even more decadent.
Gu Tao sat down behind the bars: "You are not surprised to see me coming."
Xiao Wei snorted coldly: "With your father's current position, it's not difficult for you to meet someone in the detention center. What's the surprise?"
Gu Tao ignored the sarcasm in Xiao Wei's words, as a winner, he should naturally have some grace.
"You are not surprised that I am here, but I am surprised why you?"
Xiao Wei was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing, with a somewhat crazy look on his face: "You condescended to come here to ask this! You don't even know... Hahaha... That's right, that Gu Yaoguo How could a hypocrite tell his own son about the ugly things he did."
How could it involve my father?What is it?Gu Tao looked as usual, but he didn't know what to do in his heart.
Xiao Wei clenched his fists, propped his forearms on the table, leaned forward slightly, his eyes were bloodthirsty, and stared closely at Gu Tao.
Rao is Gu Tao's courage, and at this moment his heart is also trembling, wondering what trick Xiao Wei is trying to play again.
"Your dad didn't tell you, so let me tell you about it. More than ten years ago, your dad was the director of the Water Conservancy Bureau, and my dad was the cashier of the Water Conservancy Bureau. Gu Yaoguo embezzled public funds by himself, but after the incident happened Push my dad out to take the blame. Later, my dad was sentenced, went to prison, and committed suicide in prison."
Xiao Wei became more and more emotional as he spoke, and his voice raised his voice a few times unconsciously: "Gu Yaoguo's official career has risen steadily all these years, and he wants a social scum like you to also go into an official career. How can I let you get what you want!"
Originally, he thought that Xiao Wei would reveal some earth-shattering secret, but Gu Tao was really nervous at first.But after Xiao Wei confessed, although he was a little surprised, his tense nerves suddenly relaxed again.
Unexpectedly, it was his father that Xiao Wei really wanted to take revenge on, but it was a pity that this coward was unable to directly attack his father, so he had to settle for the next best thing and trouble him.
At the same time, Gu Tao is sure that his father will never do stupid things like embezzling public funds.Gu Yaoguo valued his political life more than anything else, so he would not plant hidden dangers for his official career for a little money. Even when Gu Tao was in business, Gu Yaoguo did not allow him to have anything to do with Changzhou.
"Don't think that just making up a story about revenge for your father can clear up your crimes! For now, it doesn't matter whether what you say is true or not. You know that Xue's mother has a bad heart, and adding it to her traditional Chinese medicine may cause heart failure. What do you think you care about? Zhang Xuemei was already weak and sick at an early age, and you gave her stimulants to kill people with a knife. You are like a beast. There is also the candidate who failed the exam and Qin Siyu earlier. "
Amidst Gu Tao's accusations, Xiao Wei regained some sanity. He leaned back in his chair with a smug smile on his face: "Gu Tao is now a society ruled by law, so don't talk nonsense without evidence. Don't think that you Dad is the secretary of the Changzhou Political and Legal Committee, so he can slander me. This is Yuzhou."
When Gu Tao heard this, his heart tightened. Could it be that the police haven't caught this kid yet?
Dong dong dong, there were several knocks on the door in the inquiry room. Gu Tao knew that the time was up, so he got up and prepared to open the door. Before leaving, he did not forget to reply to Xiao Wei and said: "In a society ruled by law, you should count the crimes and punish them for several years. Bar!"
☆, looking for the truth
After leaving the detention center, Gu Tao sat in the driver's seat, always feeling uneasy, so he immediately took out his mobile phone and called Gao Cheng.Gao Cheng was appearing in court to defend, but did not answer.
Gu Tao pondered for a while, then dialed his uncle's number to see if he could get some news.
"What are you doing asking about this? The scar is healed and the pain is forgotten, and you have to worry about it. Take good care of it. Your parents are also getting old and can't stand being scared. As for the kid named Xiao—don't worry, I have you Father and uncle are here, he thinks he wants to get rid of the crime by finding a pregnant woman, and he looks down on the people's police too much. That's it, I have a meeting soon, hang up!"
"Uncle, I... hello..."
beep --
Seeing that his uncle couldn't get through this way, Gu Tao put his palm on his forehead, stroked back his already somewhat long bangs with his fingers, and sighed a long time. It seems that this time he will have to trouble Su Jiancheng, who is a policeman in Yuzhou. I don't know if Su Jiancheng can get the news.
It may be that God sees that Gu Tao's water has been retrograde these days, it's really pitiful, so he finally forgives him.This case happened to be under the jurisdiction of Su Jiancheng.
Under the temptation of Gu Tao's hot pot meal, Su Jiancheng resolutely abandoned the canteen of his work unit and a group of meal friends, and got into Gu Tao's car.
After the waiter finished serving the dishes, Su Jiancheng closed the door of the private room, and then got to the point: "These things were originally forbidden to talk about. I didn't say anything when Xiaoyue asked Fan Xiaoxue. But brother, you got four knives this time. Some time ago He has suffered so much injustice, and as a victim, he has the right to know about the situation. The day after the person surnamed Xiao went to the case, his girlfriend Yang Jie went to the nearby police station with a big belly, saying that she wanted to surrender."
----
Yang Jie choked up in the interrogation room and said, "My boyfriend was wronged. I bought those medicines, and I mixed them into traditional Chinese medicine. It has nothing to do with him."
"Then what is your motive for committing the crime?"
"I hate Fan Xiaoxue. She robbed me of a man. Isn't it just that the family has a few stinky money? What's the big deal. Fan Xiaoxue took her mother to the city hospital for treatment. I knew her mother had a bad heart, so I bought hypoglycemic drugs and added it. In those Chinese medicines."
"Yang Jie, you have to think about it clearly, you will be held criminally responsible for perjury." The policeman reminded.
Yang Jie was a little excited: "I'm not lying, you have to believe me. Xiao Wei was very busy those few days, so I went to help catch these Chinese medicines...you can ask...ask that Chinese medicine doctor, and I'm still excited I also stole the medicine and anesthetic from the hospital... The guy surnamed Gu injured Xiao Wei, so of course I wish he could die. I...uh..."
Yang Jie clutched her stomach, showing a painful expression.
The two policemen interrogating each other looked at each other.
"Could it be pretending?" One of them murmured while covering his mouth.
Another middle-aged policeman stood up and gave the silly boy a white look: "You see she's sweating all over her head, can you act so realistically? Send her to the hospital quickly, if something happens, she'll be in big trouble."
……
Su Jiancheng spread his hands: "That's the way it is. It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and we can't stop them from having children, so we're delaying it now."
Gu Tao frowned and said, "Jiancheng, do you think it will really let Xiao Wei get away like this?"
Su Jiancheng patted Gu Tao's shoulder with a smile: "I said brother, don't be misled by those criminal investigation dramas on TV. Prisoners are sometimes difficult to catch, but once they enter the interrogation stage, most of the trouble is not that the prisoner does not confess. , but talking too much without talking about the point, wasting time in vain. Ordinary people think that they can deceive the world by making up a story with a nose and eyes, and that is really necessary for the plot.”
Gu Tao absently took a piece of beef and rinsed it in the pot.
Seeing his appearance, Su Jiancheng hesitated for a while, then lowered his voice and said, "Let me tell you in a low voice, Zhao Qin's case was not easy to investigate after a long time, but Yang Jie came here to make a fuss, and instead gave it to you." The police provided a lot of clues. She may not know much about Zhang Xuemei this time, and many details cannot withstand interrogation. You have to seek justice for your brother."
Already heard a second policeman reassure him today.Well, then simply trust the people's police once.
After lunch, the people's policeman Su Jiancheng continued to stick to his post despite the smell of hot pot all over his body.
Gu Tao started the car to go home, and recalled Xiao Wei yelling frantically in the detention center: "Your father embezzled public funds but pushed my father to take the blame..."
Those eyes seemed to be poisoned, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you are acting.
"Fuck-"
The car slammed on the brakes at the intersection, then turned around sharply, and drove towards Changzhou.
At [-] o'clock in the evening, Gu Yaoguo and his wife were eating, and the same melody of the news network broadcast for many years was played on the TV.Gu Yaoguo suddenly remembered that he hadn't collected the points for today's study power, so he got up and picked up the phone on the coffee table, clicked a random video to play, and then returned to the dining table.
At this moment, Gu Tao took the key and opened the door: "Mom, I'm back."
When Gu Yaoguo and his wife heard that their son had returned, they were a little surprised.
Huang Xin put down the bowls and chopsticks, walked to the entrance, and asked Gu Tao who was bending over to change shoes: "Why did my son come back suddenly? What happened? Have you eaten yet?"
After changing his shoes, Gu Tao raised his head and gave his mother a consoling smile: "I haven't eaten yet! A friend in Changzhou is getting married and asked me to have a wedding tomorrow."
Jia Fang, a migrant girl who rents here, also echoed: "Yes, yes, I should ask Aunt Zhang to come and see. She has been coughing very badly recently, and her lungs are about to be coughed out. Every night, I can hear her from upstairs." Coughing. She has been ill for so long, and she has no relatives to take care of her, it's really pitiful."
Hearing what Jia Fang said, an old lady with gray hair and wearing a yellow vest shook her head and sighed, "Aunt Zhang is really suffering. After her daughter jumped off the building, she became a little crazy, and her husband left her alone. .”
An old man waving a cattail fan asked in surprise, "Aunt Zhang has a daughter? Why haven't I heard of it? Why did you jump off the building?"
"That's right! What's going on, Mama Wang, tell everyone quickly."
Wang Ma has lived in Plum Village for more than 40 years, and she likes to talk about things about the family and the family when she has nothing to do. Seeing that the neighbors in the neighborhood are so interested in listening to the stories, she also became energetic and chatted with everyone about some old things: "That happened about ten years ago. Aunt Zhang had a daughter who was studying in City No. [-] Middle School. She heard that she was dumped when she fell in love at school, so she jumped off the building at school. I heard that she died on the spot."
The middle-aged woman who was holding the child interjected: "It's so miserable! Oh, I said that it's bad for children to fall in love early."
Wang Ma pointed to her head and continued: "Aunt Zhang was stimulated by this. This place became a little unclear. For a while, she kept yelling that her daughter was killed by someone."
"Isn't it!" Jia Fang showed a terrified expression, and said mysteriously to everyone: "Let me tell you, not long ago in the corridor, I went upstairs, and Aunt Zhang went downstairs. The news pictures that came out suddenly went crazy, pointing at my mobile phone, saying something like 'daughter...the murderer', and trying to grab my mobile phone."
Jia Fang patted her heart: "Fortunately, I ran fast. Her appearance scared me badly. I didn't dare to pass her house for several days. Later, I went home and looked at the news photo. Not a murderer at all, just a student who cheated on an exam, but it seems to be from Changzhou..."
Xiao Wei was busy writing the instructions for taking the medicine, the pen suddenly paused, only to realize that he had made a typo, so he quickly crossed out and rewritten.
Wang Ma turned to Xiao Li from the street office and said, "Comrade Xiao Li, why don't you go upstairs and ask Aunt Zhang to come down to see a doctor. Anyway, it doesn't cost money."
After hearing Jia Fang's words, Xiao Li was afraid that Aunt Zhang would go crazy, so he hesitated and said, "I think... let's forget it. Aunt Zhang has rheumatism, and her legs and feet are not good... There is no one in our building. It's not convenient for her to take the elevator."
Xiao Wei saw Xiao Li's embarrassment, and suggested very empathetically: "How about this, Mr. Li, please show me the way, and I will come to see the patient."
Now that this point has been said, Xiao Li is too embarrassed to shirk, so he bites his head and takes Xiao Wei to knock on the door of Aunt Zhang's house.
Xiao Li has also worked in the street office for several years, and usually shows his face in various publicity and household investigations. Aunt Zhang has naturally seen him. After explaining his purpose, Aunt Zhang politely greeted the two Please come in.
In order to save electricity bills, the lights were not turned on in the house.Walking into Aunt Zhang's house, even though Xiao Wei's nose has been poisoned by alcohol disinfectant for many years and his sense of smell is not very sensitive, he can still smell a strange musty smell.
Aunt Zhang's face was unhealthy sallow, her eyes were swollen, and her lips were bloodless.I don't know if it's because of the dim light in the room, Xiao Li always feels a little panicky.
Xiao Wei didn't want Xiao Li to stay here and get in the way, so he found a reason to let Xiao Li go first.
Xiao Li was eager to leave as soon as possible, and exchanged some polite words with Xiao Wei, but he left Aunt Zhang's house as quickly as if his feet had been oiled.
☆、Dangerous situation
Early in the morning on the weekend, it began to rain lightly.
The sewer in the toilet was once again foul-smelling, but Jia Fang had no time to complain. She got up late this morning, washed up, put on makeup and changed clothes in a hurry, and went out with an umbrella and bag before even having breakfast.
Jia Fang works in a shopping mall in the city center, with a monthly salary of just over 2000 yuan. If she does full attendance for a month without being late, she can get a bonus of 300 yuan.For many people, it may be the price of a meal, but three hundred yuan is enough for her to pay for water, electricity and telephone bills for a month.
"Oh, you don't have eyes when you walk!"
Passing by the door of Aunt Zhang's house, I didn't expect someone to push the door and come out.Jia Fang dashed down the steps, couldn't stop, and just hit the man's back shoulder with her nose.Jia Fang was so knocked into tears that she was about to shed tears. Regardless of whether she made sense or not, she just scolded.
The man turned his head to look at Jia Fang, said softly: "Sorry!", then turned around and walked downstairs quickly with his head down.That way, he looks more in a hurry than someone like Jia Fang who is late for work.
If you run so fast, you can't be a thief, right?
Jia Fang thought about it, the people living in Plum Village were all poor, and no one wanted to sell second-hand scraps of copper and iron at home, so there was no thief who would not want to come here to steal things.
Jia Fang shook her head, got rid of these messy thoughts, and stepped on her high-heeled shoes to rush to work.
----
In the evening, Gao Cheng called Gu Tao: "The fish has been hooked, so be careful."
Gu Tao: "Well, remember to take care of the aftermath on your side."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Tao stood in front of the window expressionlessly.
It was raining lightly outside the house, and the rain fell on the windows with the wind, and then gathered into water droplets and slowly slid down the windows. The window glass vaguely reflected Gu Tao's figure against the background of the night, and was then distorted and deformed by the rain .
After a while, Gu Tao got out of this fugue state, and when he came back to his senses completely, he found that he had dialed Xu Jinghan's phone by accident.
"What are you doing, dear? Did you miss me?" It took only a moment for him to switch back to his energetic state, and said on the phone in a somewhat ambiguous and ruffian voice.
Hearing Gu Tao's familiar tone, Xu Jinghan's facial expression became relaxed, and the originally depressed mood became blue and clear like the sky washed by a shower.
Being ordered by the boss to work overtime on weekends, changing the materials for a day, only to find out that the key was left in the office when I walked to the door... After receiving Gu Tao's call, these bad things suddenly became insignificant.
"What if I say I don't want to?" Under Gu Tao's deliberate pampering and training, Xu Jinghan would occasionally reveal a boyish naughty side.
"Oh, then I'm sad, maybe I'll drive to Rongcheng right away to find some comfort." Even though he knew that Xu Jinghan couldn't see him at this time, Gu Tao still made a heart-warming expression.
Xu Jinghan was worried that Gu Tao, an activist, would really get mad and drove to Rongcheng at night, so he begged for mercy with a smile: "No, don't mess around so late. I have to go to work tomorrow morning, and I don't have the energy to mess with you toss."
"You know I'm afraid! Then do you miss me now?" Gu Tao is like a child who wants candy, playing rascal without any scruples.
Xu Jinghan originally wanted to coax him to follow Gu Tao's intentions, but he didn't expect the words to come out of his mouth, and his heart beat faster: "I miss you very much, Gu Tao."
"..."
Perhaps it was because of a tacit understanding, Gu Tao, who was thousands of miles away, was taken aback for a moment, put away his playful expression, and said in a very serious tone: "I miss you very much, Jing Han. Things on my side will soon come to an end." There is a conclusion, waiting for me."
----
Changzhou Plum Village.
Jia Fang recently got a windfall. Taking advantage of the shopping mall's activities, she gritted her teeth and bought a set of cosmetics worth more than 500 yuan for herself. She even invited a few friends to eat hot pot.Seeing that Iron Rooster is so generous, her friends stared straight at her, and asked her repeatedly if she had met any benefactors.Jia Fang smiled smugly, and only said that she did a little favor for her friend and made some extra money.
Returning home from get off work in the evening, Jia Fang saw several neighbors in the building moving things from Aunt Zhang's house.Thinking of the past few days, Jia Fang grabbed Wang Ma who came out with a casserole in her arms.
"Aunt Wang, is this aunt moving?"
Wang Ma smiled happier than when she snatched two bags of discounted rice in the supermarket before, and the wrinkles on her face deepened a bit.
"Your Aunt Zhang's nephew is going to pick her up to live in the provincial capital. I'm afraid the pots and pans at home won't be needed, so Aunt Zhang asked the big guys to see if there is anything that can be used, even if it's divided. I won't tell you, I'll have to take this casserole home and put it away, and then I'll see what else is good."
After finishing speaking, Wang Ma turned around and walked down the stairs briskly, shaking the flesh on her waist.
Jia Fang glanced at Aunt Zhang's house through the half-open door. There were several people in the house picking things up, even the plastic stools in Wang Ma's house. Compare.
Uncle Feng, who lived on the seventh floor, held a half barrel of oil in his left hand and a bundle of hangers in his right. He thanked Aunt Zhang and said a few flattering words like "I envy her that she will go to the provincial capital to enjoy happiness" before laughing. Then I left Aunt Zhang's house.
Aunt Zhang was sitting alone in the corner of the sofa, her head was half down, her eyes were a little dull.When others talked to her, she didn't answer much, just nodded slightly.
Looking at Aunt Zhang's appearance, Jia Fang felt a little uneasy in her heart.She tiptoed to avoid all kinds of sundries on the ground, ignoring those who were still rummaging through boxes and cabinets, walked straight to Aunt Zhang, bent down and asked Aunt Zhang softly: "I heard that Aunt Zhang is going to the provincial capital tomorrow. that--"
Jia Fang didn't know what to say for a while.
In fact, she and Aunt Zhang did not have a deep relationship, except that they sometimes met in the stairwell, and occasionally came to Aunt Zhang to borrow some small things such as candles and needles and thread for emergency.
"Is your relative driving to pick you up? Or do you take the high-speed rail yourself, or should I take a taxi to pick you up?"
"..." Aunt Zhang still didn't respond. After a while, Jia Fang thought that Aunt Zhang would not talk to her anymore, but saw Aunt Zhang shook her head, then took her hand and patted it gently: "Good boy, my daughter If you are still alive, you will be as old as you, so take good care of yourself."
As she said that, Aunt Zhang's eyes turned red, and she took out a handkerchief from her pocket, and silently wiped away the tears that fell down.After that, no matter what Jia Fang said, she stopped talking.
Jia Fang had no choice but to sigh, turned and left Aunt Zhang's house.
----
Since Xu Jinghan went to Rongcheng, Gu Tao has returned to living alone, but even without the pressure of the public exam, he still maintains the habit of going to bed early and getting up early.
Recently, Gu Tao went back to the book café near his home every afternoon. In addition to reading books on finance and economics that he was interested in, he also started to look through the bestsellers on humanities and social sciences.In particular, Xu Jinghan wrote reading notes on Weibo, even if he didn't have much interest, he would browse through them roughly, and whenever he had insights, he would call Xu Jinghan to share with Xu Jinghan at night, which also expanded a lot of chat topics for the two of them.
After the lunch break, Gu Tao walked into the book cafe with a newly opened book on time like clocking in at work, went to the front desk and ordered a cup of snow top coffee, and then sat in his usual corner.Gu Tao read a dozen or so pages of the book at a stretch, until he became more and more sleepy and yawned several times, then stood up, stretched his waist, and decided to go home early to rest.
"Oh——" Gu Tao couldn't help but yawned again.
You obviously took a nap, why are you still so sleepy?He stuffed the book into his backpack, put the backpack on his shoulder with his backhand, and walked out of the book cafe.
At this time, he didn't notice that a thin figure was slowly approaching him along the wall of the book cafe.
Gu Tao took out the folding umbrella and shook it. Just as he was about to open it, a man jumped out from his side and stabbed him with a gleaming sharp knife in his hand.
Gu Tao's body, which has been bouncing around in the gym all year round, showed agility that was significantly better than that of a dead house at a critical moment. He turned sideways and blocked the sudden blow with the backpack on his shoulder.
The perpetrator did not give up, roaring and pounced on him again.
Gu Tao took a few steps back, narrowly dodged it, and at the same time saw that the person who came was just a five or sixty-year-old old woman, and he suddenly felt confident.
He reached out to snatch the sharp knife from the opponent's hand, but at this moment, he found that his vision became blurred, his brain was dizzy like drunk, and his body gradually lost control.
Gu Tao was startled suddenly: Oops, it's probably drugged!
The old woman waved the knife in her hand indiscriminately. Gu Tao couldn't exert any strength, so he could barely resist it with the umbrella in his hand, but his arms were still scratched several times, and blood dripped down the arms to the ground, and screams, cries.
The severe pain stimulated Gu Tao to wake up a little bit. He gritted his teeth, exerted all his strength, kicked the old woman to the ground, and then took the opportunity to retreat into the bookstore and pull the glass door shut.
Before closing his eyes, Gu Tao seemed to see a male clerk running over and putting an iron lock on the doorknob for the last time.
Gu Tao felt his whole body was heavy, as if he was covered with a thick blanket in winter, making it hard to breathe.
There was a grotesque scene in front of him, red and blue lights flickering, which made people's eyes hurt. He subconsciously wanted to cover the annoying glare with his hands, but his hands seemed to be uncontrollable.I seem to be in a crowded market, with noisy and chaotic voices and car horns.I don't know how long it took, but the surrounding area became much quieter, and the glare of the glare finally dissipated.
The scene changed suddenly, Gu Tao looked around, he seemed to be in a school.As if there was some guidance somewhere, Gu Tao walked across the playground, bypassed the science and technology building directly in front of the flag-raising square, and came to a teaching building.
He remembered, this is Changzhou No. [-] Middle School.
The students stepped on the desks curiously, and lay down by the window to watch the excitement.Gu Tao stood at the door of the classroom with a dazed expression. Four burly security guards dragged Bai Jingyi's mother's hands and feet outward.
Zhang Xuemei's eyes were red, and she shouted hoarsely: "You killed my daughter, you are a murderer..."
Gu Tao didn't have the courage to keep silent like he did back then, and he didn't know where he came from. He shouted to Zhang Xuemei, "I'm not a murderer! You know in your heart that Bai Jingyi jumped off the building by herself."
For some reason, the surrounding scene suddenly became unreal, and a man covered in blood walked towards him step by step, muttering in his mouth: "Why do you want to kill me...why do you want to kill me..."
This scene was Gu Tao's lingering nightmare for many years, waking him up from his peaceful sleep night after night.Gu Tao still remembers that every time he saw this scene in his dream, he would turn his head and run away.
But this time he didn't move, and even reached out to touch Bai Jingyi's bloody face: "I know this is a dream, and those who killed you are those who spread rumors. In the final analysis, your heart is too fragile. And I am no longer afraid of the past, You are no longer a nightmare."
It seemed that someone was talking vaguely around, and the blood on Bai Jingyi's body disappeared all of a sudden, and she resumed her attire when she was alone carrying water in the Flag Raising Square, with a hazy halo on her face, which made it hard to see her eyebrows and eyes clearly. The halo gradually expanded, and the image of Bai Jingyi slowly dissipated.
☆, previous cause and effect
"The patient lost too much blood..."
"Woooooo... I don't care if I'm sick or not, I'm just such a son... I must pay for my life"
"A crazy woman who suddenly came to seek revenge after more than ten years?... I haven't retreated to the second line, so don't use the outside world to perfuse me"
……
Gu Tao struggled and barely opened his eyes.I moved my fingers lightly, and found that the infusion needle was pricking the back of my hand.
The small movement suddenly alarmed Huang Xin who was sitting by the hospital bed and dozed off.
"Son, you're awake!" Huang Xin stood up excitedly from the chair, walked to the door of the ward and asked the nurse to call the doctor quickly, and then returned to the bedside again.
"Is there any discomfort in my son? The anesthetic is over now, is the wound a little painful?" Huang Xin asked about Gu Tao's situation, while reaching out to touch Gu Tao's forehead, and found that Gu Tao did not have a fever again, so he breathed a sigh of relief .
Gu Tao saw his mother's hair was pulled back greasyly, her eyes were red and swollen, she looked like she had cried, the foundation on her face had long since taken off her makeup, and she looked very haggard, a feeling of guilt suddenly arose in her heart.He silently said "I'm sorry!" to his mother in his heart.
The doctor came soon, checked the data of the equipment briefly, asked Gu Tao a few more questions, and assured Huang Xin that the patient's condition was all right before leaving.
Gu Tao's injury was not life-threatening. Firstly, Zhang Xuemei's body was weak and her strength was limited even if she went crazy. Second, Gu Tao didn't hurt her vitals.He was in a coma for a day and a night mainly due to drugs.
Even so, Gu Tao stayed in the hospital for two full weeks under Huang Xin's strong request.During the period, the police came twice and asked in detail about the details of the incident.
The elders of the Gu family also came to visit him from Changzhou, but they only told him to cultivate well, but they never mentioned the attack.
Gu Tao's heart is like a bright mirror.This matter involved Bai Jingyi's tragedy more than ten years ago, and he almost had a nervous breakdown because of it, so the elders kept this secret, fearing that it would arouse his knot again.
Time may really be the best healing medicine in the world. When Gu Tao faced the crazy Zhang Xuemei holding a sharp knife again after more than ten years, he no longer had the slightest fear in his heart.After returning home, I slept peacefully for several days without having any more nightmares.
Gu Tao took out the sleeping pills and antidepressants hidden in the drawer beside the bed, turned around and threw them into the trash can - now he no longer needs these.
When Wang Yi, Xu Rui and other friends got the news, Gu Tao had already gone to the hospital to remove the stitches. The doctor said that his wound was recovering well, and there was no caterpillar-like wound, but the newly grown skin was still slightly different from the surrounding skin. .
Fan Xiaoxue looked at Gu Tao's wound: "Brother Tao, do you want to have laser scar removal? I have a friend who is in aesthetic medicine, so I can ask you."
Xu Rui still looked heartless: "Xiaoxue, you don't understand, scars are men's medals, have you noticed that Gu Tao has become more manly?"
Fan Xiaoxue gave Xu Rui a white look: "If you are envious, why don't you go and give yourself two knives and leave a medal?" She didn't forget to wave her hand and make two gestures in the air.
Xu Rui quickly shook his head and said: "Don't, don't, I'm afraid of pain, this medal is not worth it."
"Brother Tao can actually get a tattoo to cover it up. It's been very popular in the past two years, and now the civil service exam is not limited to this." He Xudong looked at the five to six centimeter wound on the outside of Gu Tao's right arm and suggested.
Gu Tao didn't care much about the scars on his body, but he didn't want Xu Jinghan to worry, so he followed Fan Xiaoxue's suggestion to repair the scars.Other places are fine, but the repair effect of the cut on the right arm is not good.
Gu Tao finally decided to use tattoos to cover up the scars. He selected several designs from the tattoo studio, took photos and sent them to Xu Jinghan on WeChat.
Gu Tao: "[Picture] [Picture] [Picture]"
"?" Xu Jinghan looked confused after seeing the message after get off work.
Gu Tao: "Jing Han helped me choose a style, and I plan to get one tattooed on my right arm. Recently, a friend I met in the gym tried to pull me to get a tattoo, but I couldn't resist, so I agreed."
Xu Jinghan had no doubt about him, and replied, "Let me take a look first, and get back to you tomorrow."
Said to take a look, thinking that these patterns are likely to stay on Gu Tao's body for a long time, Xu Jinghan showed a cautious attitude of scientific research, searched various information about tattoos on the Internet, and listed tattoo dyes, precautions, bad The consequences have been studied.Then organize the data into a document and send it to Gu Tao.
Gu Tao: "..." Darling, I just let you pick a pattern, okay?
Looking at a dozen or so pages of written material that looked like a thesis, Gu Tao simply didn't know what to say.
Xu Jinghan: "This is like a minor surgery. There are more or less risks. It may cause infection and allergies. I suggest you not to get tattoos. If you really want to get tattoos, choose the second one. It's simpler."
Gu Tao: "Then I'll think about it!"
Because Xu Jinghan didn't approve of his own tattoo, Gu Tao decided to go for another course of scar removal to see the effect.
----
In order to avoid suspicion, Gu Tao didn't want to come forward directly to inquire about the progress of the case. It was not until Gao Cheng came to visit him that he brought more news.
"Zhang Xuemei insisted that she was the only one who injured someone with a knife this time, and she also had sufficient motives for committing the crime. It's a pity that Zhang Xuemei had been ill for a long time and was too weak, so someone had to give her a stimulant in advance, and also Buy off the part-time students in the book cafe to drug you. This is what left the leak."
Gu Tao, who had just finished laser scar removal, still had an itchy wound, he gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that he really wants to kill me, and I still haven't figured out where the enmity between him and me came from. "
But since even Gao Cheng knew the inside story, his father and uncle must have taken action, and he didn't need to intervene in the following matters.
"By the way, how is Zhang Xuemei doing now?" Gu Tao asked worriedly.
Although Bai Jingyi's death was not his fault, but it was more or less caused by him, so he still felt a little guilty.He didn't quite agree with Gao Cheng's plan to use Zhang Xuemei to lure Xiao Wei at first.
It's just that Gao Cheng couldn't hold back his repeated persuasion——
"Zhang Xuemei became crazy long after her daughter's accident. Considering her mental state, the court is more likely to send her to a mental hospital instead of a prison. At that time, I will find a relationship and send her to the best mental hospital in Yuzhou for treatment." At least there are people there to take care of her, it's better than she is now alone in the village in the city to fend for herself."
As a well-known lawyer, Gao Cheng has seen many second-generation officials and second-generation rich people.Some of them have fully explained what it means to be "better than you were born and work harder than you", and they are sure to become winners in life; Drug-addicted social scum; of course, more of them are mediocre people who rely on their families to dawdle.
And Gu Tao is undoubtedly a very special one.
He obviously has a lot of scheming and means, and he has played a lot of legal sidelines when doing business.There is no mercy to business rivals, and it is also possible for people to lose their homes and wives.But on the other hand, Gu Tao has a kind of sympathy for the disadvantaged, and occasionally has a certain sense of justice.
Just like what happened to Zhang Xuemei this time, not long after Gu Tao woke up in the hospital, he secretly called to remind him to be the guarantor.
"Don't worry, the psychiatric medical appraisal has come out, and other procedures have to wait. I have already reserved a bed in Nanshan Mental Hospital."
Gao Cheng suddenly thought of another thing.
"By the way, the police found Xiaoxue's house a few days ago. I'm afraid they can't hide the fact that Xiao Wei poisoned Zhao Qin."
Gu Tao looked at Gao Cheng, with a teasing look on his face: "That's fine, Xiaoxue is probably in a bad mood these days, and it's inconvenient for me as a wounded and sick person, so I'm going to trouble Lawyer Gao a lot." .”
Gao Cheng's smile finally became more sincere: "I will do my best."
Gu Tao saw Xiao Wei again in the detention center.
This place is the same as a university, and its transformation of human image is comparable to a plastic surgery hospital, but the effect of the two is just the opposite.No matter how you usually look like a dog, if you stay here for a few days, your image and temperament will not be much different from those who pick up junk by the roadside.Even some celebrities who committed crimes can't stand it, not to mention that Xiao Wei is not as good-looking as some male celebrities.
Xiao Wei was sitting on a chair in handcuffs. His hair, which was not combed enough, is now fluffy and messy, and there is a small twist of hair on the back of his neck that is turned outward. His eyes are blue and purple and swollen, as if he has been up for several nights. The lips are also unshaven, making him look even more decadent.
Gu Tao sat down behind the bars: "You are not surprised to see me coming."
Xiao Wei snorted coldly: "With your father's current position, it's not difficult for you to meet someone in the detention center. What's the surprise?"
Gu Tao ignored the sarcasm in Xiao Wei's words, as a winner, he should naturally have some grace.
"You are not surprised that I am here, but I am surprised why you?"
Xiao Wei was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing, with a somewhat crazy look on his face: "You condescended to come here to ask this! You don't even know... Hahaha... That's right, that Gu Yaoguo How could a hypocrite tell his own son about the ugly things he did."
How could it involve my father?What is it?Gu Tao looked as usual, but he didn't know what to do in his heart.
Xiao Wei clenched his fists, propped his forearms on the table, leaned forward slightly, his eyes were bloodthirsty, and stared closely at Gu Tao.
Rao is Gu Tao's courage, and at this moment his heart is also trembling, wondering what trick Xiao Wei is trying to play again.
"Your dad didn't tell you, so let me tell you about it. More than ten years ago, your dad was the director of the Water Conservancy Bureau, and my dad was the cashier of the Water Conservancy Bureau. Gu Yaoguo embezzled public funds by himself, but after the incident happened Push my dad out to take the blame. Later, my dad was sentenced, went to prison, and committed suicide in prison."
Xiao Wei became more and more emotional as he spoke, and his voice raised his voice a few times unconsciously: "Gu Yaoguo's official career has risen steadily all these years, and he wants a social scum like you to also go into an official career. How can I let you get what you want!"
Originally, he thought that Xiao Wei would reveal some earth-shattering secret, but Gu Tao was really nervous at first.But after Xiao Wei confessed, although he was a little surprised, his tense nerves suddenly relaxed again.
Unexpectedly, it was his father that Xiao Wei really wanted to take revenge on, but it was a pity that this coward was unable to directly attack his father, so he had to settle for the next best thing and trouble him.
At the same time, Gu Tao is sure that his father will never do stupid things like embezzling public funds.Gu Yaoguo valued his political life more than anything else, so he would not plant hidden dangers for his official career for a little money. Even when Gu Tao was in business, Gu Yaoguo did not allow him to have anything to do with Changzhou.
"Don't think that just making up a story about revenge for your father can clear up your crimes! For now, it doesn't matter whether what you say is true or not. You know that Xue's mother has a bad heart, and adding it to her traditional Chinese medicine may cause heart failure. What do you think you care about? Zhang Xuemei was already weak and sick at an early age, and you gave her stimulants to kill people with a knife. You are like a beast. There is also the candidate who failed the exam and Qin Siyu earlier. "
Amidst Gu Tao's accusations, Xiao Wei regained some sanity. He leaned back in his chair with a smug smile on his face: "Gu Tao is now a society ruled by law, so don't talk nonsense without evidence. Don't think that you Dad is the secretary of the Changzhou Political and Legal Committee, so he can slander me. This is Yuzhou."
When Gu Tao heard this, his heart tightened. Could it be that the police haven't caught this kid yet?
Dong dong dong, there were several knocks on the door in the inquiry room. Gu Tao knew that the time was up, so he got up and prepared to open the door. Before leaving, he did not forget to reply to Xiao Wei and said: "In a society ruled by law, you should count the crimes and punish them for several years. Bar!"
☆, looking for the truth
After leaving the detention center, Gu Tao sat in the driver's seat, always feeling uneasy, so he immediately took out his mobile phone and called Gao Cheng.Gao Cheng was appearing in court to defend, but did not answer.
Gu Tao pondered for a while, then dialed his uncle's number to see if he could get some news.
"What are you doing asking about this? The scar is healed and the pain is forgotten, and you have to worry about it. Take good care of it. Your parents are also getting old and can't stand being scared. As for the kid named Xiao—don't worry, I have you Father and uncle are here, he thinks he wants to get rid of the crime by finding a pregnant woman, and he looks down on the people's police too much. That's it, I have a meeting soon, hang up!"
"Uncle, I... hello..."
beep --
Seeing that his uncle couldn't get through this way, Gu Tao put his palm on his forehead, stroked back his already somewhat long bangs with his fingers, and sighed a long time. It seems that this time he will have to trouble Su Jiancheng, who is a policeman in Yuzhou. I don't know if Su Jiancheng can get the news.
It may be that God sees that Gu Tao's water has been retrograde these days, it's really pitiful, so he finally forgives him.This case happened to be under the jurisdiction of Su Jiancheng.
Under the temptation of Gu Tao's hot pot meal, Su Jiancheng resolutely abandoned the canteen of his work unit and a group of meal friends, and got into Gu Tao's car.
After the waiter finished serving the dishes, Su Jiancheng closed the door of the private room, and then got to the point: "These things were originally forbidden to talk about. I didn't say anything when Xiaoyue asked Fan Xiaoxue. But brother, you got four knives this time. Some time ago He has suffered so much injustice, and as a victim, he has the right to know about the situation. The day after the person surnamed Xiao went to the case, his girlfriend Yang Jie went to the nearby police station with a big belly, saying that she wanted to surrender."
----
Yang Jie choked up in the interrogation room and said, "My boyfriend was wronged. I bought those medicines, and I mixed them into traditional Chinese medicine. It has nothing to do with him."
"Then what is your motive for committing the crime?"
"I hate Fan Xiaoxue. She robbed me of a man. Isn't it just that the family has a few stinky money? What's the big deal. Fan Xiaoxue took her mother to the city hospital for treatment. I knew her mother had a bad heart, so I bought hypoglycemic drugs and added it. In those Chinese medicines."
"Yang Jie, you have to think about it clearly, you will be held criminally responsible for perjury." The policeman reminded.
Yang Jie was a little excited: "I'm not lying, you have to believe me. Xiao Wei was very busy those few days, so I went to help catch these Chinese medicines...you can ask...ask that Chinese medicine doctor, and I'm still excited I also stole the medicine and anesthetic from the hospital... The guy surnamed Gu injured Xiao Wei, so of course I wish he could die. I...uh..."
Yang Jie clutched her stomach, showing a painful expression.
The two policemen interrogating each other looked at each other.
"Could it be pretending?" One of them murmured while covering his mouth.
Another middle-aged policeman stood up and gave the silly boy a white look: "You see she's sweating all over her head, can you act so realistically? Send her to the hospital quickly, if something happens, she'll be in big trouble."
……
Su Jiancheng spread his hands: "That's the way it is. It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and we can't stop them from having children, so we're delaying it now."
Gu Tao frowned and said, "Jiancheng, do you think it will really let Xiao Wei get away like this?"
Su Jiancheng patted Gu Tao's shoulder with a smile: "I said brother, don't be misled by those criminal investigation dramas on TV. Prisoners are sometimes difficult to catch, but once they enter the interrogation stage, most of the trouble is not that the prisoner does not confess. , but talking too much without talking about the point, wasting time in vain. Ordinary people think that they can deceive the world by making up a story with a nose and eyes, and that is really necessary for the plot.”
Gu Tao absently took a piece of beef and rinsed it in the pot.
Seeing his appearance, Su Jiancheng hesitated for a while, then lowered his voice and said, "Let me tell you in a low voice, Zhao Qin's case was not easy to investigate after a long time, but Yang Jie came here to make a fuss, and instead gave it to you." The police provided a lot of clues. She may not know much about Zhang Xuemei this time, and many details cannot withstand interrogation. You have to seek justice for your brother."
Already heard a second policeman reassure him today.Well, then simply trust the people's police once.
After lunch, the people's policeman Su Jiancheng continued to stick to his post despite the smell of hot pot all over his body.
Gu Tao started the car to go home, and recalled Xiao Wei yelling frantically in the detention center: "Your father embezzled public funds but pushed my father to take the blame..."
Those eyes seemed to be poisoned, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you are acting.
"Fuck-"
The car slammed on the brakes at the intersection, then turned around sharply, and drove towards Changzhou.
At [-] o'clock in the evening, Gu Yaoguo and his wife were eating, and the same melody of the news network broadcast for many years was played on the TV.Gu Yaoguo suddenly remembered that he hadn't collected the points for today's study power, so he got up and picked up the phone on the coffee table, clicked a random video to play, and then returned to the dining table.
At this moment, Gu Tao took the key and opened the door: "Mom, I'm back."
When Gu Yaoguo and his wife heard that their son had returned, they were a little surprised.
Huang Xin put down the bowls and chopsticks, walked to the entrance, and asked Gu Tao who was bending over to change shoes: "Why did my son come back suddenly? What happened? Have you eaten yet?"
After changing his shoes, Gu Tao raised his head and gave his mother a consoling smile: "I haven't eaten yet! A friend in Changzhou is getting married and asked me to have a wedding tomorrow."
