Chapter 34: Teenager's Elegy 12 I Can Still Protect You

Chapter 12

Lu Changfeng's tone was sad, accompanied by sighs, which was very able to stir people's emotions.

Yue Fanglin always felt that Lu Changfeng was a person with great talent for public speaking. He was very good at understanding other people's psychology, making people willing to calm down and listen to him, and their emotions were controlled by him.

"The children are now at their best age and should have a bright future, but they have become cold corpses for no apparent reason. We cannot bring them back to life, but we must do our best to catch the murderer and make him pay the price."

The parent, who had originally controlled his emotions, began sobbing again after hearing what he said.

Lu Changfeng winked at Jing Jue on the opposite side, and Jing Jue immediately stood up and began to distribute tissues to everyone, asking them to wipe their tears.

Lu Changfeng also patiently waited until they had almost finished crying before continuing: "I want to know, has your child offended anyone at school?"

Even though Lu Changfeng knew that the judge must have determined that the deceased had done something bad to kill someone, the police did not have solid evidence at that time. Lu Changfeng tried his best to consider the issue from the perspective of the deceased's family.

"I hope everyone can help think about whether the children have offended anyone? Or have you offended anyone, causing your children to be retaliated against?"

The family members began to think about this issue seriously.

If they are placed on the side of the perpetrators, most of their family members will resist, but if they are placed on the side of the victims, most of their family members will not resist.

The members of the serious crime squad carefully observed the expressions on each family member's face.

After waiting for a long time, there was no answer to Lu Changfeng's question.

Lu Changfeng spoke at the right time, "I hope everyone will think about it carefully. If the clues provided are useful, at least justice can be given to the child."

Ma Shanping's mother wanted to say something, but after raising her head and looking at the person opposite her, she quickly lowered her head and began to sob.

At this time, Lu Changfeng winked at Jing Jue again, and Jing Jue stood up and began to distribute mineral water to the family members.

Jing Jue is only 23 years old this year. Even though he is a little tanned, he can't hide his youthfulness. The reason why he was chosen to behave in various ways in front of his family members is that the family members will see Jing Jue and associate him with their own children, thus breaking through their psychological defenses.

"Everyone, drink some water and think about it slowly. For example, have you ever offended any senior students in school before? Or have you ever accidentally offended other children or adults in town?"

He said with understanding: "Boys at this age are impulsive, and it is normal for them to fight with others. Maybe the child had a conflict with someone and the person held a grudge against him so he took revenge."

The family members shed tears, drank water, and sat in the conference room for half an hour, but still said nothing.

Lu Changfeng has far more tricks than these. In a team, there is always a leader and a guiding figure. It is impossible for all five people to be dominant and have strong opinions and have highly consistent thoughts. Even twins cannot do that.

Then their parents cannot be of one mind.

Lu Changfeng didn't intend to use this conversation to stir up the resentment in their hearts and cause them to fall apart at the table.

After waiting for a while, Lu Changfeng signaled Jing Jue that he could start the next step.

Jing Jue took the sticky notes he had prepared in advance and distributed them to each family member.

Lu Changfeng said: "Here is my and Captain Yue's contact information. If you think of anything next, you can call us at any time."

Yue Fanglin raised his hand and said, "Even if it's the middle of the night, you can still call us."

After Jing Jue's stickers were distributed, Lu Changfeng and Yue Fanglin stood up and said to the family members, "Everyone can go back and prepare for the funeral. You can contact the funeral home at any time within seven days, and the funeral home will arrange a funeral car to help you transport the body back."

Jing Jue was responsible for seeing these people off.

After returning to the office, he asked Lu Changfeng: "Will this work?"

Lu Changfeng took a sip of tea, leaned on the table and said, "Whether it will work or not depends on whether they feel that their son deserves to die when they see his body. As long as one person feels unbalanced and thinks that someone else's son has implicated their own son, the balance between them will definitely be broken. Once this emotion takes root in the heart, it will grow over time."

Lu Changfeng put down the teacup and went to the bathroom.

Inside the house, Yue Fanglin asked Jing Jue, "Do you know why your master was so keen on letting the family take the body back and dispose of it themselves?"

Jing Jue guessed: "Are you worried that the family members will cause trouble?"

Yue Fanglin shook his head and said to Jing Jue, "When a loved one dies, most people are confused and pushed around by events in the first few days. They don't have time to grieve. When they calm down and truly realize that their family has passed away, that's when the sadness begins. They are gradually swallowed up by this emotion until it spreads to every cell in their body. It feels like a perfect cake that has suddenly had a piece cut off and is no longer complete. The most painful process is not witnessing the death of a loved one, but accepting the death of a loved one. This process will drag people back into this pain over and over again until they are completely numb."

"Now that the first few days have passed, they have begun to gradually accept the fact that their child has died. At this time, they are asked to take the body back for burial. The body is a physical entity, while the ashes are light and floating. Facing the body of the deceased directly is different from holding a jar of ashes. The psychological pain caused is different. According to traditional customs, the spirit is usually placed in the coffin for three days, and the coffin is sealed on the last day. Before that, the body lies quietly in the coffin, motionless, and no matter how you shout, it will not give any response..."

Jing Jue felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. He saw the bodies of his parents and was taken back to the police station. It was Lu Changfeng who accompanied him, put thick clothes on him, and waited with him for the results of the investigation. Lu Changfeng helped him deal with all the funeral matters.

He had no immediate family members alive, so the bureau contacted his distant relatives and asked who was willing to take care of him and become his guardian. Those relatives all made excuses and no one was willing to take care of him. He suddenly had no home and didn't know where to go. The only person he could think of was Lu Changfeng, so he found Lu Changfeng and asked if Lu Changfeng could take him to live with him. He didn't want to live with those distant relatives. When he grew up, he would make money and pay it back to Lu Changfeng, and he could write an IOU.

When they learned that he would receive compensation and that his family still had some savings, and that vehicles and other things could be sold for living expenses, those unfamiliar relatives gathered around him, expressing their willingness to take care of him, completely disregarding his feelings, and pulling his arms in the police station.

Jing Jue is not stupid. He knows that those people are after money. He doesn't want to live with them. He chooses to be with Lu Changfeng. He is willing to give all his money to Lu Changfeng.

Later, Lu Changfeng worked hard to become his guardian and took care of him until he came of age, at which time their guardianship relationship was automatically terminated.

When Lu Changfeng came back, he saw Jing Jue's face was pale. He just went to the bathroom. "Jing Jue, are you feeling unwell?"

Yue Fanglin then noticed that Jing Jue looked unhappy. He suddenly thought of the relationship between Jing Jue and Lu Changfeng and what Lu Changfeng had told him. He immediately realized that it was his words that made Jing Jue uncomfortable. "Xiao Jing, I'm sorry."

Lu Changfeng didn't understand why Yue Fanglin apologized at this time.

Jing Jue is no longer the kid he was back then. He has experienced a lot now and has become more resilient. Regarding Yue Fanglin's apology, he said, "It's okay, Captain Yue, you don't have to apologize."

He looked at Lu Changfeng in front of him with a worried look on his face and smiled at him, but the smile was too stiff and not really nice.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

Lu Changfeng watched Jing Jue go out and asked Yue Fanglin what was going on.

Yue Fanglin said something briefly and Lu Changfeng quickly chased after him.

Jing Jue splashed cold water on his face to calm himself down.

Lu Changfeng came up to him and patted him on the back a few times.

I took the paper next to me and handed it to him to wipe his face.

Jing Jue took it, wiped the water off his face and hands, and said to Lu Changfeng, "I'm fine."

Lu Changfeng nodded, "I know you are very strong."

Jing Jue smiled.

The two came out of the toilet together and returned to the office. Jing Jue didn't seem to be affected too much.

Yue Fanglin no longer continued the topic and even stopped talking to reduce his presence.

The family of the deceased saw the child's body. Although the autopsy will try its best to ensure the integrity of the body, the sutures will not disappear after the autopsy. The body surgeon at the funeral home will try his best to repair the body of the deceased so that the deceased can go in a more decent manner.

After Wang Qi came back from Chengdu, the two sides met, but there was no new progress. Even though they knew that the collective resignation of teachers was problematic, there was no way to get any useful information from them.

The case has reached this point. If we want to continue investigating, the difficulties we face will not be too easy.

Lu Changfeng meant to wait for two days, and when the five deceased were buried, they would take people to Bailong Town in the name of mourning, to mourn the deceased and see if they could get any useful information.

When someone dies in the town, neighbors will inevitably go to pay their respects. This kind of thing cannot but put people under psychological pressure. Only when people feel that death is particularly close to them will they have a strong will to survive. If someone knew why the deceased was poisoned, they might not be able to withstand such great pressure, but perhaps they could find a breakthrough.

There is a saying that goes, if you have done nothing wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door.

Only those who feel guilty will be afraid of ghosts coming to their door.

At night, after Jing Jue had rubbed medicinal wine on Lu Changfeng and was about to go back to rest, Lu Changfeng stopped him.

"You stay and sleep with me tonight."

Facing Lu Changfeng's invitation, Jing Jue refused for the first time, "I'm going back to my room to sleep."

"You're not in a good state today. I'm afraid you'll have a nightmare tonight. Stay here with me. If you really have a nightmare, I can still protect you."

Jing Jue stayed in Lu Changfeng's room and slept with him.

As Lu Changfeng expected, he really had a nightmare in the middle of the night.

He was completely possessed, and Lu Changfeng had to work very hard to wake him up from the nightmare.

After Jing Jue saw Lu Changfeng's face clearly, he hugged him in his arms. Lu Changfeng was so strong that he felt like he was going to break his ribs.

He patted Jing Jue's back gently, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm with you."

After a while, I heard sobbing.

Lu Changfeng hugged him gently and stroked his back to comfort him, "I'm here, it's okay."

Even though more than a decade had passed, Jing Jue still hadn't completely gotten over the murder of his parents.

On the day his parents were killed, he was at a classmate's house. When he got home, he saw blood everywhere in the house, from the living room to the bedroom, everything was bright red. His parents were lying on the ground motionless. If he had been at home, he would have been hacked to death as well.

The death of his parents kept lingering in Jing Jue's mind. Later, he often had nightmares and could not sleep well at night. He was often frightened awake or possessed by nightmares and could not wake up.

It was Lu Changfeng who stayed by his side and gave him all his love and care. With Lu Changfeng's care, he gradually stopped having nightmares and could sleep soundly at night. Later, he could sleep alone without having nightmares.

Only with Lu Changfeng by his side could Jing Jue calm down quickly after having a nightmare.

After Jing Jue's emotions stabilized, Lu Changfeng helped him lie down and let him rest his head on his arm.

Looking at Jing Jue, whose eyes were red from crying, Lu Changfeng traced Jing Jue's eyes with his fingers, then touched Jing Jue's face, gently stroked it, and said softly, "Go to sleep."
