Chapter 61 Cat Stuff
◎Let's go eat potato pancakes◎
Xu Songling stood up slowly, his eyes becoming determined.
He picked up a piece of yellow chalk from his chalk box and drew a line between the names of Fan Hongwei and Yang Xugang: "There must be a connection of interests between these two people."
"Yes! There is definitely cat pee."
"If there was no connection, why would Yang Xugang let Fan Hongwei, a hooligans who was fired from his unit for fighting, drive for him?"
"Check how they knew each other before Fan Hongwei came to the Urban Construction Bureau?"
"Captain Xu is right. If there was no connection, Yang Xugang would not have been so ruthless in promoting and protecting Fan Hongwei."
He Mingyu had just circled Yang Xugang's name, and now seeing Xu Songling connecting him with Fan Hongwei, his thoughts became clearer.
When the Serious Case Team discusses a case, they always speak freely. He Mingyu stood on the right side of the blackboard, glanced at Zhao Xiangwan, and circled Fan Hongwei's name with chalk: "Xiangwan just said that he suspected that Cai Chang's murder and the three hospital riots were all done by him, but we haven't found the motive for the murder. Now I have a new idea..."
Gao Guangqiang and Liu Liangju entered the room when Xu Songling mentioned Yang Xugang. They did not hear the doubts mentioned earlier and were unable to react for a while.
——Captain Xu just said he wanted to investigate an old case, and the murderer already has a suspect? Isn't Zhao Xiangwan's speed too fast?
Gao Guangqiang shook his head: "No, Tsai Chang once helped Fan Hongwei and had no motive to kill." In his opinion, is it still human to kill someone who has done him a favor?
Liu Liangju frowned in thought, speaking slowly as he thought, "He has practiced martial arts, is good at fighting, and is ruthless. He was in his twenties ten years ago. His height and weight are in line with the situation. It's possible. But Xiangwan only met Fan Hongwei once at the hot pot restaurant last night. How did you accurately identify him as a suspect?"
Zhao Xiangwan has just answered this question, using the word "cleverly".
We met by chance at the hot pot restaurant, it was a coincidence.
It was a coincidence that Fan Hongwei and Cao Deren were drunk and lustful, so they came over to tease Ji Zhao.
It was a coincidence that Gao Guangqiang recognized them and brought up the old case of Tsai Chang.
Fan Hongwei's abnormal promotion path successfully aroused the anger of everyone in the Serious Crime Unit 1 against the injustice of the world. Isn't that a coincidence?
Putting all the coincidences together, maybe God couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to help the Serious Crime Unit solve the case.
After listening to Zhao Xiangwan's words, Gao Guangqiang, who was a little superstitious to begin with, nodded repeatedly, his eyes brightened. "Yes, yes, yes, I've been a criminal policeman for so many years, I believe this. You can say it's a coincidence or a gut feeling, but since Fan Hongwei and Cao Deren have the audacity to come to us, wouldn't it be unfair to this coincidence if we don't investigate? Xiao Zhu said that Xiangwan is a lucky star for our serious crime team, so let's listen to her."
Zhao Xiangwan smiled and said, “Lucky general” or something like that, he had to thank the art of mind reading.
But this time, Fan Hongwei was identified as a suspect not because of mind reading, but because of a special intuition. The more you observe people and read their minds, the better you will know who is a good person and who is a bad person at a glance.
You can tell at first glance that this kind of person has a dirty bottom, just like Xu Juncai, he cannot withstand any investigation, and once investigated, you will find out the truth.
After identifying the suspect, everyone began to brainstorm the motive for the murder.
"From the timeline, Tsai Chang was killed when Fan Hongwei was unemployed."
"Could it be that Fan Hongwei felt that even though he had no criminal record, he was still forced to resign from his job, and that his attempts to offer gifts and plead for leniency were in vain, so he decided to kill him?"
"Yeah, could it be that he thinks Tsai Chang has accepted too many gifts, so Fan Hongwei is unwilling to accept this and wants to teach him a lesson?"
"If you are dissatisfied with Tsai Chang's behavior of accepting gifts to do things, it is reasonable to teach her a lesson..."
Gao Guangqiang felt something was wrong the more he listened, and raised his hand to stop them from continuing: "What are you talking about? How could Tsai Chang accept bribes to do things? He was simply too kind-hearted, so he stepped in to mediate and allowed the two sides to reach a settlement. At that time, in addition to paying all medical expenses, the Fan and Cao families each paid 2,000 yuan, and the other party gave up and did not sue them. If they really brought a public prosecution, they would have to spend a year and a half in prison, and the future of Fan Hongwei and Cao Deren would be over. Tsai Chang is a good person, he did not accept bribes!"
Everyone shut up and stared at Xu Songling.
Xu Songling looked at Gao Guangqiang, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
"Tsai Chang was a good man and he died unjustly" has become Gao Guangqiang's inherent thinking. If this illusion is broken, he will probably be very sad, right?
Gao Guangqiang had an uncertain feeling. He looked at everyone nervously, then stared at Xu Songling: "Captain Xu, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Xu Songling let out a long sigh and told the whole truth.
The more Gao Guangqiang listened, the paler his face became, and his hands began to tremble.
[Tsai Chang and I are like brothers. I never knew that he would accept bribes and use his power for his own personal gain! No wonder he looked so ugly when I argued with him and told him that he shouldn't be soft-hearted towards evil and shouldn't think that filing a case is a waste of legal resources. It turns out... he has so many things hidden in his heart. Brother, brother, you are wrong! You are wrong——]
Hearing Gao Guangqiang's inner monologue, Zhao Xiangwan did not disturb him, but said softly: "Captain Xu, let's continue." Some things have to be figured out by yourself; some pains have to be borne by yourself, and others can never replace them.
Xu Songling nodded, skipped Gao Guangqiang, and signaled everyone to continue analyzing the case.
Zhu Kang said: "From the timeline, there is a possibility. Yang Xu had just had a feud with Tsai Chang and wanted to find someone to teach him a lesson. He happened to find Fan Hongwei who was unemployed at home, and he used his job as a price to let Fan Hongwei take action."
Zhu Feipeng directly refuted: "It doesn't make sense. First, Tsai Chang not only did not have any grudges with Yang Xugang, but was actually grateful to him. Why did Yang Xugang teach him a lesson? Second, whether it was being caught soliciting prostitution or fighting and almost being sentenced to prison, even if Tsai Chang used his position to do something that made the other party angry, he would not have lost his life because of it."
Zhu Kang thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he just wanted to teach someone a lesson, but ended up killing someone by accident?"
Thinking of the forensic findings on the case file, Huang Yuande shook his head: "Impossible, the hammer hit his head, the knife stabbed his heart, this was a one-shot kill, he was going to die, there was no such thing as a small lesson."
What kind of hatred or resentment made him want to kill Tsai Chang directly?
Everyone looked at each other, finding it unbelievable.
Zhao Xiangwan spoke up, "Master is right. When conducting criminal psychology analysis, we cannot judge others by our own standards. We think like normal people, but criminals do not. We think that people kill because of deep hatred, but some people are born bad and take killing lightly. Maybe they just can't get used to it, maybe it's just because they had a quarrel, or there may be no reason at all, but they just want to prove that they are brave, so they may kill. Our top priority now is to control Fan Hongwei and don't let him run away. As for why he killed people, there is no rush to discuss it."
Xu Songling glanced at Zhao Xiangwan approvingly: "Yes. Criminal psychology is varied, and the motives for murder are sometimes simply bizarre. For example, in the case of Tan Xueru who was just solved, who would have known that Tan Xueru killed people because he saw traces of intimacy on Wei Qingwan's body and asked her who she was with, which led to the tragedy? Now that we assume that Fan Hongwei is a suspect, we must first find a way to keep an eye on him."
Zhu Feipeng was the smartest one, and he came up with an idea at that time: "How is the progress of the identification of the body by Group 3? If the identity of the deceased can be confirmed and he is related to the Demolition Office, we can call Fan Hongwei and Cao Deren."
Xu Songling shook his head: "The body was not wearing any clothes and had long been rotten and deformed. We can only identify that it was a male in his twenties. We can't see his features clearly at all. The forensic team is conducting a deep autopsy. Today, three teams visited the vicinity of the reservoir and issued a missing person notice. It is estimated that there will be no results in the short term."
He Mingyu suddenly had an idea: "Xiang Wan and I investigated at the Third Hospital this morning and met the family of the victim of the tragic case, Gu Wenjiao, the daughter of Zhou Jinfeng. She is Fan Hongwei's wife. I saw marks of beating on her body. We can ask her to call the police, and we can control Fan Hongwei and take his fingerprints for comparison. If they match, we will apply for an arrest warrant immediately!"
Liu Liangju hesitated: "Gu Wenjiao is Fan Hongwei's wife. Is she willing to call the police?"
He Mingyu said: "Gu Wenjiao is the only one who has been tracking down the murderer of the family murder case. I heard that she goes to the Wufulu Police Station every month to inquire about the progress of the case. If she knew that Fan Hongwei might be the murderer of her mother, she would definitely be willing to cooperate."
Zhu Feipeng sighed, "If Fan Hongwei was the murderer of Zhou Jinfeng, then wouldn't Gu Wenjiao be too pitiful? How could there be such a shameless murderer? He killed my mother and dared to marry her daughter! Isn't he afraid of having nightmares? Doesn't his conscience hurt?"
Zhao Xiangwan said calmly: "He has no conscience, how could he feel pain?"
"Alas——" Everyone sighed at the same time.
After a brief sigh, everyone returned to the topic.
Zhu Feipeng said, "In the murder case, only half of the fingerprint of the right index finger was left. Whether it can be matched or not is not the point for now. There are three perpetrators. What's the point of matching only Fan Hongwei?"
Liu Liangju is a married man after all, so he is more careful in his actions: "What if, I mean what if, what if Fan Hongwei is not the murderer, and we let Gu Wenjiao call the police to arrest him, will he take revenge on Gu Wenjiao after he returns? Then wouldn't we have harmed her?"
He Mingyu and Zhao Xiangwan looked at each other and shut up at the same time.
It is indeed possible.
Xiang Wan guessed that the murderer was Fan Hongwei. There was no solid evidence and no clear logic for the crime. She just used the word "coincidentally".
如果不是呢？豈不是害了顧文嬌？
季昭忽然從鐵皮櫃遮擋的區域走出來，将手中一幅圖畫擺在桌上。
【火鍋店那五個人的穿着打扮詳圖，在這裏了。向晚你看，畫得對嗎？】
趙向晚接過圖畫，贊了一句：“畫得好！”
季昭眼睛微彎，眸光潋滟，這美麗的畫面終于将剛才的沉悶與陰霾沖淡。
朱飛鵬湊過來看，發出“哇哦~”一聲。
劉良駒也湊過來看，發出“哇哦~”一聲。
緊接着，是祝康、艾輝、黃元德……
何明玉還站在小黑板前呢，看着這幾個大腦袋都湊在季昭畫的畫面前驚呼，好奇心起，将粉筆一放，繞過會議桌，跑過去扒拉朱飛鵬的肩膀：“讓讓，給我看看。”
一只溫熱的手掌貼在肩頭，何明玉的臉龐也靠近過來，朱飛鵬感覺全身上下仿佛有電流通過，急急向右一閃，整張臉忽然就紅了。
何明玉的目光落在那幅圖畫之上，頓時被那精妙的人物肖像所折服，同樣發出一聲：“哇哦~”說完這句話之後，忽然覺得右手發燙，這才轉過頭對上朱飛鵬的臉。
何明玉愣愣地問了一句：“你怎麽了？”問完話，她忽然明白過來，側目看着還扶在朱飛鵬肩膀上的右手，臉刷的一下就紅了。
兩人視線相對，何明玉慌忙收回手，紅通通的臉蛋，亮晶晶的眼睛，朱飛鵬傻乎乎地看着她，忽然冒出一句：“何明玉，我請你吃飯吧？”
一群人虎視耽耽，何明玉想拒絕，可是又舍不得，轉回頭來看了他一眼，終于還是遵從本心：“好。”
“一言為定！”
朱飛鵬咧開嘴笑了，越看她越覺得好看。同事這麽多年，怎麽以前沒發現何明玉這麽可愛呢？臉一紅的樣子，簡直太漂亮。
旁邊劉良駒第一個起哄：“我也要吃飯。”
祝康、艾輝、黃元德這三個看戲不怕臺高，拉的拉胳膊，箍的箍他脖子，把朱飛鵬一身衣服弄得跟腌菜一樣：“喂，是不是兄弟？啊，是不是兄弟？我們也要吃！”
被一群人圍攻，朱飛鵬瞅到空看一眼何明玉。何明玉臉頰紅暈還沒有消，嘴角上揚，笑得燦爛無比。
朱飛鵬心中歡喜，擡起雙手大叫：“請請請，都請！大家一起吃飯。”
衆人看着朱飛鵬、何明玉臉頰紅紅，眼睛裏滿是笑容，對視時一股子纏綿喜悅的勁兒，都拍桌子起哄：“吃飯，這可是好事，必須吃飯。”
許嵩嶺心知肚明，看着這一對共事三、四年的年輕男女，想到何明玉藏在心底的暗戀，終于等來朱飛鵬開竅，不由得笑了起來：“朱飛鵬，上次你想請客沒請成，這一回恭喜你得償所願。”
意有所指，聽得何明玉一顆心砰砰直跳，抿着唇低下頭去。
趙向晚也挺開心的。先前還擔心朱飛鵬看上周如蘭，沒想到何明玉守得雲開終得月，暗戀有了結果——朱飛鵬喜歡上了陪伴左右的何明玉，還學會了表白。雖然只是請吃飯，但也是邁出了重要的一步是不是？
朱飛鵬熱情、堅定，何明玉溫柔、聰敏，兩人又是同事，挺般配的。
趙向晚擡眸看向季昭。
季昭眼眸清澈，似一潭深水，悠然而沉靜。
【你也想要我請你吃飯嗎？】
少年清潤的嗓音在腦海中響起，趙向晚的心情更好了，點頭道：“好。”
【你喜歡吃什麽？】
趙向晚回了句：“土豆絲餅。”
趙向晚是農村娃，對四季大酒店的奢華晚宴、米其林大廚興趣不濃，反而對三醫院門口小飯館裏的土豆餅念念不忘。
季昭依舊嘴角帶笑。
【好，你帶我去。】
自從明白眼睛裏看到的是真實世界之後，季昭開始觀察周邊人群與環境，整個人通透了許多。他不會說話，不知道如何和別人打交道，能夠為趙向晚做的事情并不多。只要是趙向晚說喜歡的，他就願意陪着。
趙向晚微笑點頭，兩人視線相接，旖旎風光無限。
許嵩嶺看看這一對，再看看那一對，甜蜜的戀愛氣息彌散開來，原本還挺大的重案組辦公室，忽然就顯得逼仄起來。
“梆！梆！”
許嵩嶺拿起粉筆擦，在黑板上重重敲了兩下。
粉筆擦一面絨毛，另一面是堅硬的鐵皮板。鐵皮板子與黑板相碰，發出的聲音有些刺耳，成功讓這一群分神分到十萬八千裏的年輕人都停下手中動作，看向許嵩嶺。
“吃飯還早呢，莫慌。咱們先讨論案件。”
許嵩嶺說完這句話，所有人都歸位坐下，趙向晚将季昭畫的肖像圖、火鍋店場景還原圖遞交給他：“許隊，這是季昭畫的。”
許嵩嶺一看，瞳孔一縮，脫口而出：“好家夥！”向晚這是物盡其用啊。
因為親身體驗過，許嵩嶺第一時間便發現季昭繪制的場景還原圖真實到可怕，很多一眼看過去、根本沒有人會留意的細節，都被季昭畫了出來。比如，樊弘偉腕上的金表、曹得仁腰上的皮帶、桌上随意擺放的打火機、車鑰匙……一看就價值不菲。
許嵩嶺再一看肖像圖，不由得笑了，将圖遞給朱飛鵬：“來來來，咱們重案組就你對這些高檔貨有研究，你估算一下，樊弘偉他們這一身值幾多錢？”
朱飛鵬接過圖，仔細研究了一番：“樊弘偉的衣服看着倒是不起眼，但他手上這款金表是勞力士最新款，起步價一萬六。曹得仁身上穿的襯衫、皮帶、褲子、皮鞋，應該都是在華僑商店買的進口貨，我估計啊，沒個三、五千拿不下來。”
許嵩嶺沖劉良駒使了個眼色：“你去和經偵科對接一下，直接搞個舉報信，讓經偵科接手貪腐案，我們重案組打輔助。”
朱飛鵬一拍大腿：“妙啊！”果然姜還是老的辣，刑事案件沒證據沒辦法拘捕，那換個角度從經濟案來查，再順藤摸瓜，這個主意好。
劉良駒心領神會，比劃了一個“好”的手勢。
确定了下一步工作計劃之後，重案組一天的工作也基本結束。
朱飛鵬振臂一呼：“走！四季大酒店。”
重案組幾個年輕人開始簇擁着何明玉起哄，鬧得何明玉臉紅心跳。
趙向晚微笑：“你們去吧，我和季昭去吃土豆絲餅。”
朱飛鵬猶豫了一下：“要不，我們也和你們一起去？”
何明玉拖了他一把，使了個眼色。
朱飛鵬這才反應過來，嘿嘿一笑，沖着趙向晚擠眉弄眼：“行行行，你們兩個單獨行動，我不打擾你們二人世界。”
趙向晚看了他一眼：“你還知道二人世界？”明眸清亮，映得朱飛鵬有點心虛，瞬間閉嘴。
旁邊幾個起哄的，不知道為什麽忽然就冷靜下來。
高廣強站起身，搖了搖頭：“我老喽，不跟你們年輕人混。”
劉良駒跟着起身整理辦公桌上的資料：“我家小妞妞還等我回家陪她玩呢，就不跟你們去吃大餐了。”
祝康、黃元德、艾輝這三個單身漢你看看你、我看看你，忽然就洩了氣，擡手摸了摸一頭的短發，第一次感覺到單身的挫敗感。哼！連朱飛鵬都開始談戀愛約會了，怎麽我們連個暗戀對象都沒有？
這麽一想，蹭飯吃的快樂瞬間消失，三個人拿起飯盆就往外走：“算了算了，我們還是到食堂喝免費的綠豆湯去，消暑、清火……”
忽拉拉，偌大的辦公室裏只剩下許嵩嶺和兩對年輕人。
朱飛鵬無辜地伸出手，哀嚎道：“喂——你們，吃飯都不積極的啊，還是不是朋友啊？四季大酒店的飯都不肯吃了嗎？”
許嵩嶺覺得眼前場景實在是太好笑，忍不住笑了起來。
一邊笑，許嵩嶺一邊往外走。
“哈哈哈哈……”
走廊裏回響着許隊那響亮的笑聲。
兩邊辦公室的門接二連三地打開，衆人好奇地探出頭來，議論紛紛。
“許隊這是撿了錢？笑這麽開心。”
“升官也不用這麽嚣張吧？啧啧啧。”
“難得見到許黑臉這麽高興，肯定是重案組又立了大功。”
聽到這熱鬧的笑聲與議論聲，趙向晚抿着嘴笑了起來，拉了季昭一把：“走，吃土豆餅去。”
黃昏，霞光漫天。
趙向晚第一次與季昭單獨走在大街上，感覺很新鮮。
趙向晚穿着很樸素，短袖圓領淺藍色襯衫、卡其色長褲、白色運動鞋，從上到大唯一的配飾是一個紮頭發用的黑色發圈，發圈一側挂着兩顆亮晶晶的彩色石頭，是她和章亞岚逛夜市的時候順手買的，便宜得很，才幾毛錢。
季昭穿的都是季錦茂為他準備的，雪白的短袖襯衫、黑色長褲、黑色皮鞋，腰間一條黑色皮帶，零亂的劉海遮住半邊眉毛，可卻掩不住昳麗之色。霞光仿佛全都灑在他一個人身上，雖然是黑白兩色的打扮，卻很耀眼。
兩人都是高挑之人，并肩而行，一個清俊貴氣、一個清冷秀美，路人不自覺地被吸引，感慨了一句：年輕，真好啊。
趙向晚走在左側，讓季昭走在道路的內側。季昭現在雖然開始打開內心，用眼睛觀察這個世界，但在外面依然略顯呆板。連小朋友都知道的：“過馬路要小心，一停二看三通過”都不懂，她不放心讓他一個人走路。
不知道為什麽，趙向晚忽然腦中閃過周巧秀說過的話：男人應該保護女人，季昭這個樣子，你怎麽指望他保護你？
趙向晚伸出右手，輕輕牽起季昭的左手。
季昭的手柔軟而纖長，骨節分明，皮膚溫熱而細嫩，觸感綿軟，趙向晚剛剛拉起他的手，季昭便像個歡喜的孩子一般，手掌一張一扣，将她的五指包裹進自己掌心，緊密而溫柔。
季昭轉過臉看着趙向晚，看到她額角有汗水流下，不知道為什麽胸口悶悶的。他在家的時候，如果感覺到熱，還不等他開口，父母就會安排好一切，電扇、冰塊、冷飲……只要是能夠降溫的物件，一切都會送到他面前。可是趙向晚呢？她要是感覺到熱，應該怎麽辦？
旁邊有家副食店，店老板站在店門口，穿着件洗脫了色的藍背心，手拿把蒲扇扇風，他的身後，擺放着一個大大的冰箱。
季昭眼睛一亮，拉着趙向晚快走幾步，趕到店老板面前。
店老板是個四十來歲的中年男人，笑眯眯地看着季昭漂亮的臉蛋：“小夥子，你要買什麽？”
【買冰汽水，給你喝。】
季昭從口袋裏拿出錢包，拉了拉趙向晚的手，第一次感覺到了語言交流的重要性。如果他能說話，就可以直接表達自己的想法，不必一定要趙向晚代為轉達。
趙向晚對店老板說：“有冰汽水嗎？”
老板哈哈一笑，自豪地側身，指着身後那個大大的冰箱說：“別說冰汽水，我這裏還有老冰棍、玉米棒雪糕、白雪冰磚賣，要不要？”
季昭重重點頭，将錢包交到趙向晚手中。
【都買。】
趙向晚正想說她來買，店老板卻笑得合不攏嘴：“談戀愛嘛，男孩子就應該給女孩子買東西，來來來，我推薦這一款白雪冰磚，香草口味，奶香十足，好吃得咧~”
【錢包給你，你用。】
季昭對錢沒有什麽概念，這個錢包還是季錦茂把他送到市局單身宿舍住的時候，塞進他口袋的。季錦茂囑咐過他：你住在那裏，有什麽需要花錢的只管用，不夠找我要，絕對不能讓趙向晚花錢。
趙向晚打開錢包，被那厚厚一疊子一百塊閃花了眼。真的是，季錦茂準備這麽多錢，不怕季昭被人打劫嗎？
老板眼睛尖，一眼看到錢包裏厚厚的票子，頓時喜得瞪大了眼睛：“來來來，我這裏有零錢找，不怕不怕。”
【這小夥子看來是個有錢人啊，錢包裏裝了至少有兩千塊，頂我兩個月的流水，啧啧啧，雖然好像不能說話，但這怕什麽，有錢就行！】
經歷過八十年代的市場經濟發展，華國市場呈現出欣欣向榮的景象。人人都知道錢是好東西，人人都在努力掙錢，但同時也滋生出“一切向錢看”的思想。男女戀愛，只要有錢，年齡不是問題、身高不是距離、性別都沒有關系了。
趙向晚看了店老板一眼。
老板被趙向晚這麽一看，感覺自己的小心思無所遁形，縮了縮脖子，嘿嘿一笑，打開冰箱，拿出兩塊冰得硬硬的冰磚遞過去：“這大熱的天，吃冰磚正好！拿在手上正好解暑。”
趙向晚付了錢，兩人拿着冰磚，一邊吃一邊走。
冰磚太冷，拿在手上時間長了凍得手都沒有知覺。一般人吃呢，撕開外邊的包裝紙，得兩只手輪流托着往嘴裏送。可是趙向晚與季昭舍不得松開手，便一只手拿着冰磚，另一只手牽着。過一分鐘手凍得扛不住了，再換只手牽。
換手相牽的那一剎那，冰冰涼涼、還帶着點滑滑膩膩的觸感，兩個人也不嫌棄對方手上粘了融化的冰淇淋，相視而笑。
店老板看着這兩人的背影，搖了搖頭：呵，戀愛，真好。
季昭只要和趙向晚在一起，心裏、眼裏都只有她，看趙向晚笑得開心，也樂得開了花，小世界裏早已是鮮花滿地，美得如仙境一般。
小雲雀在枝頭歡叫，恨不得讓全世界都感受到它的快樂。
季昭的喜悅也成功地感染給了趙向晚。
今天在外面調查了一整天，看到顧文嬌身上的傷痕，聽到她內心的傷痛，對趙向晚的影響是巨大的。
莫名的憤怒情緒，讓趙向晚拳頭捏得緊緊的。
記挂母親周金鳳，執着地想要追尋她被殺的真相，難道錯了嗎？
不願忘懷過去，堅定報仇的意願，難道不對嗎？
怎麽別人都能甩開過去，活得幸福快樂，顧文嬌卻不斷反刍回憶，把日子過得一團糟？
真的是因為顧文嬌不願意忘懷，所以才過得苦？
趙向晚覺得不是這樣的。
顧文嬌之所以過得不好，是因為她嫁給了樊弘偉這個畜生！
哪怕顧文嬌暈血、暈針，沒辦法當一名護士，但她在藥房工作，認真負責，工資收入能夠養活自己。
如果她嫁給一位善良熱心的醫生，或者其他任何一個知書達禮、溫柔體貼的男人，懂得她的苦、了解她的痛，陪她一起回憶，一起追兇，化解她內心的憤怒委屈，那顧文嬌也能走出陰霾，開始新的生活。
退一萬步講，不需要有這麽一個知心愛人，顧文嬌保持單身。她一邊工作、一邊懷念母親，日子過得清靜悠閑，難道不是一種幸福？
偏偏她找了個三觀完全不合的樊弘偉。
樊弘偉是個江湖氣息濃厚的混混，一步步靠着兩張面孔走上權力之路，這與顧文嬌的恬淡無争相悖。
樊弘偉習慣用武力解決問題，打打殺殺是常态，可顧文嬌是在父母呵護下長大，講究以理服人。
權、錢、色，樊弘偉無比渴望。顧文嬌卻只想要找到殺害母親的兇手，除此之外，什麽功名利，她沒有任何要求。
何況，樊弘偉對她只有利用，沒有愛。甚至，如果趙向晚的懷疑是對的，那他完全就是心理變态，享受着征服與摧毀顧文嬌的快感。
這種憤怒，讓趙向晚一整天都不快樂。
她想快點将樊弘偉繩之以法，但現在沒辦法與樊弘偉面對面交流，趙向晚聽不到他的心聲，也沒辦法找出漏洞，定他的罪。一切都只是她的推理，什麽證據都沒有，只能徐徐圖之。
現在和季昭單獨相處，他的簡單、純粹，仿佛一股清風吹進浮躁趙向晚的內心，趙向晚長籲一口氣，終于感覺舒服輕松起來。
兩人手牽着手，一起來到省三醫院對面。胡愛玉開的如意小館，就在那一條熱鬧的臨街鋪面上。
老板娘胡愛玉正在忙碌地接待客人，擺桌、收錢、找零、開飲料、開酒……夫妻倆開的是小飯館，夫妻店，舍不得花錢請小工，丈夫老劉在後廚炒菜，妻子胡愛玉在前面收錢接待，一到傍晚時分，七、八桌客人一坐下，真是忙得不可開交。
看到趙向晚，胡愛玉眼睛一亮，擡手擦了擦汗，在靠牆的位置收拾出一張小桌子，安排他倆坐下，近距離看到季昭的臉，胡愛玉愣了半秒，一臉姨母笑：“唉喲，小姑娘你這對象長得真好，比電影裏的明星還好看。”
季昭不怒不笑不理睬，目光從胡愛玉臉上掠過，徑直落在她身後牆面，那裏貼着一張打印出來的菜單，菜名、價錢寫得清晰明了。
土豆絲餅，三元，排在第一位。
【你想吃土豆絲餅，就是這個？】
進了店，季昭依然沒有放開趙向晚的手，兩人姿态自在随性，有一種說不出來的親昵。
季昭不理人，胡愛玉倒沒有覺得被冷落，只是覺得季昭這樣的美少年實在少見，忍不住多看了兩眼。
愛美之心人皆有之嘛。
趙向晚拉着季昭坐下，對胡愛玉說：“今天中午吃的土豆絲餅太好吃，我晚上特地帶他來吃的，做一個土豆絲餅，再來西紅柿炒蛋、青椒炒肉，兩碗飯，就行。”
胡愛玉應了一聲，麻利地在兩人面前擺上碗筷。
小店翻臺率高，桌面用抹布匆匆擦過，沒有清理幹淨，還留着上一桌客人吃過的油漬，季昭一坐下，手剛放上桌子，袖口便沾上一大塊印記。
胡愛玉心裏喊了一聲“罪過”，忙賠笑着拿過來一塊幹淨抹布，把桌子再擦了一遍：“不好意思，不好意思，小店忙，桌子沒擦幹淨。”
【這是食堂的味兒。】
油煙氣，是季昭以前不熟悉的。因為他有自閉症，季錦茂把他保護得太好。出門都有保镖随行，臨時居住的酒店頂樓豪宅裏光是廚師就配了四個，過着衣來伸手、飯來張口的生活。
Walking into a small restaurant with Zhao Xiangwan was a new thing for Ji Zhao. As for the dirty marks on his cuffs, he didn't care at all.
Zhao Xiangwan smiled at Hu Aiyu and comforted her, "It's okay, just go home and wash up."
Hu Aiyu felt relieved, and quickly took out two bottles of iced soda from the ice bucket, opened the lid and handed them over: "Sorry, sorry, I'll treat you to soda."
Having run the shop for more than ten years, Hu Aiyu has seen a lot. She thought she was used to the situation and would not be afraid of anyone she met. However, she did not expect that when she met someone as noble as Ji Zhao, she became a little timid. She dared not even breathe, for fear that her breathing was too loud and would blow him back to heaven.
Before the dishes were served, a man walked in from outside. He was tall and fat, his belt buckle gleamed with gold, and he walked with his feet turned outward. It was Cao Deren.
When Zhao Xiangwan saw it, his pupils shrank: Why is he here?
