Chapter 35 No One Will Wrongly Accuse You
At night, everything is silent.
After the beginning of autumn, the weather has gradually become cooler.
The cold wind blew, and the empty road became so quiet that it made people feel uneasy.
A bicycle creaked in the night.
"Comrade Xiangbei, I'm lucky to have met you today, otherwise I don't know if I can come back."
I went to the Public Security Bureau today, and unexpectedly I happened to see them investigating a major case.
There were only a few people from the entire Public Security Bureau present, and the remaining young men were unable to make decisions.
It was not until late in the evening that an old policeman came back.
After learning more about it, he said he would go and find out about the situation tomorrow.
By the time she left the police station and rushed to the bus station, there were no buses back home.
It's definitely impossible to walk back since it's such a long way.
But without a letter of introduction, you can't stay in a guesthouse.
After thinking it over, she decided to go back to the police station, at least it was safe there.
But he didn't expect that when he turned around, he ran into Qin Xiangbei.
He just happened to be getting ready to go home.
Knowing that Shen Qingran had no car, he invited her to sit in the back and took her back.
Although it was a bit inappropriate to sit in the back compared to having nowhere to go at night, she still agreed.
A man of integrity fears no crooked shadow.
Besides, not many people saw it at night.
When they are almost at the military area, she can just come down early and walk in.
The two chatted along the way.
"Comrade Qingran, what you did today was right. Those who reported it knew that you would not dare to make a big fuss. Don't worry, there will definitely be gains tomorrow."
Shen Qingran curled the corners of his lips and a smile appeared on his face.
"It just failed Grandpa Qin's hard work."
Qin Xiangbei was just about to speak when the headlights of an oncoming car dazzled his eyes.
The vehicle jolted and shook.
Shen Qingran instinctively grabbed the hem of Qin Xiangbei's clothes.
Huo Tingxiao didn't expect to see this scene when he came out.
In the dark night.
A man was riding a bicycle with a woman on his back. The night wind blew and the woman's hair fluttered.
The woman behind the car had a bright smile that was like the warm sun in winter, dazzling the eyes.
Such a beautiful picture came to an abrupt end.
The sound of a car braking stretched out in the darkness.
Under the light of the car, Shen Qingran saw the man's slender finger bones leaning against the window sill, the blue veins on the back of his hand bulging, and the blue blood vessels sinking into his shirt.
Looking at Huo Tingxiao's narrow and cold eyes, there was coldness in them.
Following the other person's gaze, she glanced at her own hands.
He reacted immediately, but was not panicked.
Instead, he withdrew his hand naturally.
"Get in the car." The tone of command left no room for negotiation.
Shen Qingran pursed her lips and jumped off the back seat of the bicycle.
He turned around and thanked Qin Xiangbei.
"Comrade Xiangbei, I'm sorry to bother you today. I'll treat you to a meal later."
Qin Xiangbei smiled like a big white goose, "Comrade Qingran, you are too polite. Then you can get in the car. Brother Tingxiao, I am leaving now!"
Watching him leave, Shen Qingran slowly climbed into the green car.
Huo Tingxiao did not drive immediately. Instead, he took out a cigarette, lit it, and held it out of the window. The faint smell of tobacco filled the air between the two of them.
"Shen Qingran, remember what you said before."
Shen Qingran was stunned, wondering what she had done to offend him again.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, he asked, "Did you call the village today?"
Huo Tingxiao nodded and said, "Yes, the old patriarch broke his leg."
Shen Qingran: What a coincidence, your leg is broken?
However, the old man is old and his bones are fragile.
And since Shen Chaoxi doesn't know about this, there shouldn't be any problem.
So, I didn't ask any more questions.
There was silence wherever the light reached.
He waited until the cigarette butt at Huo Tingxiao's fingertips burned out and then he put it out.
Huo Tingxiao turned his head and stared at Shen Qingran, his eyes filled with deep darkness.
The voice was low and a little hoarse, "Shen Qingran, you didn't do it, no one will wrongly accuse you."
If something happens to her, she would rather go to a neighbor than to herself.
Am I so untrustworthy, or is she really attracted to Qin Xiangbei?
Thinking back to the way she grabbed Qin Xiangbei's shirt just now, those little hands seemed to be around his waist.
Only lovers can be so intimate. Doesn't she know that?
Or are you pretending not to know?
Huo Tingxiao looked at her profile.
Finally, start the car.
Turn around and go back to the military area.
After they returned home, Huo Tingxiao drove away again.
Shen Qingran felt that he was like the ancient Dayu.
He passed by his home three times without entering.
——
The next day.
Huo Tingxiao was busy in the office all night.
I took a sip of tea to refresh myself, and then I heard a knock on the door.
"Report to the head of the group, Political Commissar Yu wants to see you in his office."
Huo Tingxiao immediately understood what it was about.
He put on his military uniform and walked quickly towards the door.
There is an innate dignity in his every gesture.
——
Political Commissar's Office.
Yu Hewei saw him come in, put down the pen in his hand, and said, "Sit down."
As she spoke, she walked out from behind the desk and sat opposite him.
There was not much change in his expression as he took a sip of tea.
"Did you stay up all night last night?"
Huo Tingxiao nodded, "There are some things that haven't been dealt with yet."
Yu Hewei nodded and lit a cigarette, "Do you know about your lover's incident?"
"Know."
"The report letter has been sent to me. What do you think?"
Huo Tingxiao's face was serious and his voice was calm.
"I have already asked her about this matter, and I believe it is not what is written in the report letter."
Yu Hewei smiled and said, "Everything must be based on evidence. The image of the organization cannot be tarnished. It's useless for you to believe her. Evidence is needed."
Huo Tingxiao's eyes froze slightly and he paused for a second.
"The relevant evidence has been collected. I..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard a knock on the door.
Yu Hewei frowned, "What's going on?"
"Political Commissar, something bad has happened. Someone from somewhere in the family compound has started a commotion. They want to kick out Captain Huo's lover, saying she is a murderer!"
Yu Hewei's face changed and he spat.
"I'll go see who is so bold! How dare they come to our place to cause trouble? It seems they haven't been educated enough."
I saw Huo Tingxiao already walking towards the door.
This boy seems to like his new wife quite a lot, so why are there such rumors spreading?
——
There were quite a few people standing in the family compound, shouting and yelling.
But upon closer inspection, the people speaking were unfamiliar faces.
"Murderer!"
"Do you have evidence for what you said? Don't wrongly accuse others."
"How can this be false? Who dares to talk about murder?"
"Yeah, she won't kill us, right?"
Those people gathered together and said some very unpleasant things.
Shen Qingran looked at the people blocking her door with a bad expression.
Chen Hong and several sisters-in-law stopped in front, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence. Have you forgotten the lesson from the political commissar last time?"
"Yes, we have been together for more than a month. When have you ever seen her get angry with anyone?"
"We can't allow a murderer to stay in our compound. He's a rat's shit!"
Everyone was arguing with each other.
Behind the crowd, Wang Mei clenched her fists nervously. If Shen Qingran left the compound, she would be successful.
"Get her away!"
Where someone takes the lead, others will follow.
Huo Tingxiao ran home quickly and looked at the group of people gathered at the door.
The cold air came out of my body.
The powerful aura instantly made many people shut up.
He scanned the crowd with cold eyes and said in a firm voice, "Ask me directly if you have anything."
Shen Qingran looked at his broad shoulders blocking her way.
A little shocked.
Is he defending himself?
"Captain Huo, your wife has killed someone and cannot stay in the compound."
Looking at the woman who was speaking, Huo Tingxiao's sharp eyes swept over.
"Who are you? What evidence do you have?"
The woman choked up, "It doesn't matter who I am, but why did the hospital fire her?"
"Yes, give us an explanation!"
Just then, there was a noise at the door.
"The police are coming! The police are coming!"
Everyone looked at Shen Qingran in the yard.
Oh my God, she can't really be a murderer!
"Look, the police have come to arrest her, how can this be fake?"
