Chapter 88: Heartbreak
◎He could have really possessed all of this!◎
Gou Weiping couldn't understand why he was captured so quickly, but Zhao Xiangwan knew it very well.
Since arriving in Kyoto, Zhao Xiangwan has been pushing the case forward step by step at his own pace.
The first step is to enter the crime scene, recreate the crime process, and find places that match the details provided by Zhao Chenyang;
The second step is to join the serious crime team to familiarize yourself with the cases, quickly integrate into the team with a strong attitude, and participate in criminal portrait work;
The third step was to induce the only eyewitness, Feng Jianlie, to enter a hypnotic state and reproduce the memory scenes, so that Ji Zhao could complete the portrait.
The fourth step is to participate in the investigation of the serious crime team, cleverly insert the details provided by Zhao Chenyang into the task arrangement, lead Sun Xiu to find important evidence, narrow the scope of investigation, find the suspect's place of work, and finally quickly arrest the murderer because of the very rare surname "Guan".
With the solving of this case, the profession of criminal portrait painter officially entered the public eye.
Previously, people did not know much about criminal portraits. The norms and standards for portraits of wanted criminals did not take artistic quality into consideration, so not many people paid attention to them.
However, in this case of Gou Weiping, from the wanted warrants published in newspapers to the cooperation orders posted everywhere, Ji Zhao's works are so artistic and appealing that they make people feel breathless at first sight. Whether one knows Gou Weiping or not, they all have a deep impression in their minds.
No matter who you are, when you see this kind of painting, you can't help but say: "Oh my god! Is this a high-definition photo? It's so well drawn."
When they see Gou Weiping, everyone will open their mouths and eyes wide and say: Damn! They look so similar.
Some studios even kept Ji Zhao's portraits as examples for students to imitate and learn from.
The reporter reprinted Gou Weiping's portrait, with the title: "Heaven's Net" and the caption: The net of heaven is vast and wide, nothing can escape it.
There is also a picture title: "A Glimpse", with a caption: Just a glance in the crowd and you're thrown into jail.
There were even newspapers that publicly solicited entries for prizes, attracting countless readers to submit their works.
For a while, Ning Qingning, a criminal portrait artist from the Xishan District Public Security Bureau, was pushed to the forefront.
Ning Qingning was speechless. Facing the media's praise, he hurriedly explained: It was not drawn by me, it was...
But the leader interrupted him with a smile: Lao Ning, you are too modest. Lao Ning is a rare talent in our system. He works hard and is self-taught. He has made innumerable contributions to the field of criminal investigation and portraiture.
Ning Qingning wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qin Yongbing. After Qin Yongbing whispered a few words into her ear, Ning Qingning sat down obediently and said nothing more.
Qin Yongbing said: "I asked the Hunan Provincial Department, Miao Hui said that Ji Zhao is just a specially appointed expert, not a staff member, and should not be publicized. Ji Zhao himself is also unwilling to show up. You just have to accept this credit."
Ning Qingning was a straightforward person. After claiming the credit for Ji Zhao, she felt guilty and asked blankly, "No position? He is so awesome, then give him a position. How can our Ministry of Public Security let such an outstanding criminal portrait artist go? Is it difficult to give him a position?"
Isn't it said that special cases should be handled specially? Such an outstanding criminal portrait artist, even if he has personality defects and language barriers, should be retained by all means. Not only should he be given a regular position, but also conditions such as high salary and flexible working hours can be negotiated.
Qin Yongbing sighed: "I know that too. I also wanted to recruit Ji Zhao, but Miao Hui refused to give in."
Sun Xiu had a good impression of Zhao Xiangwan and urged, "Captain Qin, dig Zhao Xiangwan here as well. This girl is not only able to communicate with Ji Zhao, but is also calm and generous, and she is also a lucky general. If she hadn't mentioned the small forest, I wouldn't have been able to find the forest near the Xiang'an Road bus station, find Wen Qianyu's schoolbag, narrow the scope of the investigation, and find out his last name is Guan so quickly!"
Fan Wenguang also smiled and said, "Yes, Zhao Xiangwan is indeed a lucky general. I heard from Sun Xiu that it was she who hypnotized Feng Jianlie and made him say that his hair looked like it had just been cut. That's when I thought of tracing the barber shop. How many psychologists in our police force have the ability to hypnotize? Tsk tsk tsk... Talent, if we don't grab such talent, I'm afraid the Hunan Province won't let go."
Qin Yongbing smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I don't want to? Zhao Xiangwan is a very tight-lipped girl. If I hadn't asked Miao Hui, I wouldn't have known that she was just a sophomore at the Public Security University! She's still studying, how can we dig her out?"
Sun Xiu stood up immediately and said in disbelief: "She is so young? This is too amazing. When I was a sophomore, I only knew how to play basketball all day and didn't know anything else."
Xiao Hai shook his head: "This kid is not something that can be found in a pond. We may not be able to dig him out."
Li Ji said slowly, "We'll talk about whether to dig or not later. Right now we still have some funds in our bureau, so let's apply for a bonus for them. After all, they made this trip, it's not easy."
Ouyang Ding squeezed his eyes and said, "Do you know where they stayed when they were in Kyoto? Four Seasons Hotel! I'm afraid they wouldn't be interested in our small bonus."
Li Ji said: "Don't worry about whether they have money or not, we just need to do what we should do."
After much discussion, everyone came to a conclusion: send the bonus first, build a good relationship, and then think about the rest later. If you encounter a difficult case, you might as well ask Zhao Xiangwan and Ji Zhao to take over and help.
Gou Weiping is arrested. His fingerprints, shoe prints and DNA tests all match. The case has been solved and what awaits him is trial and execution.
Zhao Xiangwan retired after completing her mission and came to say goodbye. Qin Yongbing handed Zhao Xiangwan two envelopes filled with thick bonuses and warmly invited her and Ji Zhao to stay for a few more days to have a good time in Kyoto.
Zhao Xiangwan took the envelope and made a request: "I would like to ask Captain Qin to arrange for me to meet Gou Weiping."
Rao Xiang and Jiang Tinglan both wanted to confront Gou Weiping in person, wanting to know why he had brutalized Wen Qianyu and to hear him say sorry in person. Although the person has passed away, the living people still can't get over it. It seems that only by figuring out what happened that night can they truly let go of the past and live bravely.
This has become their inner obsession.
But they couldn't see him, so they came to beg Zhao Xiangwan. Zhao Xiangwan had been an intern in the serious crime team for a year, and of course he knew that it was still the investigation stage and the victim's family could not see the suspect.
They cannot see him, but Zhao Xiangwan, as an investigator, can see him.
Qin Yongbing glanced at her and said, "Alas! The suspect's attitude is very uncooperative. We have all been very angry recently. Wouldn't it be a waste of time for you to get involved?"
Zhao Xiangwan shook his head: "It is still in the investigation stage. Although all the evidence has been collected, we still need the suspect's confession to understand all the details of the crime. Let me meet Guan Weiping and let him hear what the deceased's family thinks. Let him know that the Wen Qianyu he killed was not just a living life, but she was also a college student with a bright future and the hope of her parents. Maybe it can arouse his conscience and make him plead guilty."
In Zhao Xiangwan's opinion, it would be too easy for such a vicious and cruel criminal to be killed by just shooting.
It is essential to comfort his heart and make him repent.
Qin Yongbing thought about it and nodded: "Okay, I'll arrange it."
That afternoon, Zhao Xiangwan met the murder suspect Gou Weiping through the iron fence.
After being arrested, Gou Weiping actually relaxed a lot. He ate well and slept well, which was better than hiding in the mountains and sleeping in the open air. His face gained some weight.
He knew that he had no way out since he was caught, so he became self-destructive. No matter what the police asked him, he kept silent and was full of rebelliousness, as if he was shouting: If you want to kill me, just kill me. After I die, I will be a good man again in 18 years.
When the police brought him to the interrogation room again, handcuffed him to an iron chair, Gou Weiping lowered his head and closed his eyes, ignoring everything in front of him. In his opinion, interrogation was bullshit, and he would die anyway, so he might as well be single for once.
On the other side of the iron fence, Zhao Xiangwan sat behind a square table. Rao Xiang's old face, whose eyes had been weeping dry, flashed through his mind.
Rao Xiang cried to Zhao Xiangwan: "I waited all day just to see him walk out of the police car in handcuffs. It was that man who killed my child. My child just turned 20 this year. She studied hard to learn skills abroad and planned to come back to work in international trade, but... her life came to an abrupt end just like that."
There was silence in the interrogation room and no one spoke.
Zhao Xiangwan looked at Gou Weiping quietly, and Zhao Chenyang's words flashed through his mind: This man was not arrested until more than 20 years later. He opened a shop and made a lot of money. He got married, had children, and raised two dogs. He had a good reputation in the local area.
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Zhao Xiangwan pursed his lips. Very good, your life ends here, and you will never have a career, a family, or offspring.
The sound of breathing could be heard. After waiting for a long time with no one asking any questions, Gou Weiping finally lost his patience, raised his head and opened his eyes.
He was a little surprised. In addition to a familiar-looking young policeman, there was also a beautiful young woman sitting opposite him.
Zhao Xiangwan wore a snow-white shirt and a light blue pleated skirt, looking cool and beautiful.
Her style is different from that of Wen Qianyu, whom he killed.
At this moment, Gou Weiping suddenly realized that there were countless beautiful women in this world. He had the opportunity to meet a gentle and beautiful girl, fall in love with her, get married, have two smart and lovely children, listen to them calling him dad, and enjoy the happiness of family life.
But he destroyed all of this by himself.
妻子、兒子、女兒、家庭、事業……對他這個将死之人而言，一切都不可能存在。
缑未平終于開始後悔。
等的就是這一刻！
趙向晚慢慢開口：“缑未平？”
缑未平機械性回答：“是。”
趙向晚問他：“為什麽殺害聞倩語？”
缑未平沒有回答，轉過頭看向鐵窗之外。那裏什麽也沒有，沒有藍天、沒有白雲，也沒有小鳥飛翔。
【這什麽殺人？我也不知道為什麽。】
【我活到二十五歲，從來沒有嘗過女人的滋味，在軍隊裏素了幾年，根本壓抑不住那股子沖動，偷偷出去嫖了一回，媽的，那滋味可真好。只是可惜，後來被人舉報抓了個正着，被部隊除了名。】
【開除就開除呗，男子漢大丈夫，到哪裏不能活？我沒臉回家，打算到京都見識一番，琢磨琢磨能夠幹點什麽。随便找了家工地，幹了一段時間，賺了一點錢，又找了兩回女人，媽的，太貴了！】
聽到這裏，趙向晚雙手捏拳，內心壓抑不住的憤怒，讓她呼吸不由自主地加快。
【京都真好，到處都是漂亮的女人，最最好看的，還是那些滿臉是笑、走路輕快、抱着書本從工地旁邊走過去的大學生。她們有文化、有修養，她們什麽都懂，說起話來像黃雀兒一樣清脆，只要看到她們，我的骨頭縫裏都恨不得鑽出蟲子來，癢得渾身難受。】
【我就想着，到附近大學轉轉，說不定能夠哄住些單純的小姑娘，交個女朋友？】
【那天下雨，簡陋的工棚讓人難受，拿把傘我就出了門。來到公交車站，看着站牌上的名字，找到一個大學名，就上了車。】
【京都對外經貿大學？這個名字一聽就很高級，在這裏面讀書的女生，怕都是高貴的有錢人吧。雨越下越大，我打着傘進了學校，根本沒有人管我是誰，走過那條悠靜的路，我看到一棟亮着燈的大樓，那裏，應該就是大學生讀書的地方吧？】
随着缑未平的心聲流淌，趙向晚仿佛看到了那一段畫面。
【透過玻璃窗，亮着燈的教室看得好清楚。黑板、講臺、粉筆、整齊的座位，一個戴着耳機的女生安靜地靠窗坐着。她頭微微低下，露出一截雪白的脖子，像天鵝一樣美麗。我看了一陣，身邊一個人都沒有，大雨讓大家都躲在屋裏。我忽然膽子就大了起來——機會就在眼前，怎麽就不能試一試？】
【我看到她起身，收拾書包，怕她走掉，便趕緊走進教學樓。保安室正對着入口，不過我看裏頭有個人趴在桌上睡覺，估計他什麽都不知道。我輕手輕腳走過保安室，左轉進了走廊，推開教室門。】
【她正站着，背着書包要離開，我倆面對面站着，她的眼睛裏閃過一絲慌亂。我笑着向她問好，說要不要交個朋友，她罵我是神經病，從我身邊揚長而過。】
【窗外雨真大，雨點打在窗戶上，很響。我看到她那雪白的後頸，再也克制不住內心的沖動，猛地一擡手，一記手刀劈過去，她便昏了過去，軟綿綿倒在我懷裏。】
【教室裏頭太亮，外面只要有人經過，就能看到我在做什麽。所以我把她抱起，帶到樓梯間那個雜物間。我在來教室的路上就留意到了，那裏沒有上鎖，隐蔽、安全。】
【事後，那丫頭清醒過來，被我拿起書包裏砸下去，書包裏的書真重，砸得她鮮血直流，我再用兩只手狠狠掐住她脖子，直到她氣息都沒有了，才放開手。看到她死了，心裏有點慌，也沒了興致。我身上穿的這件夾克是最近才買的新衣服，下擺沾了很多血，我怕等下洗不幹淨，所以起身到廁所，沒想到被保安看到，我只好跑了。】
【跑了一半，我淋了個透濕，忽然就清醒過來。如果今晚被人發現我殺了人，只怕火車站、汽車站都會封鎖，到時候我就跑不脫了。所以，我又轉回去，把屍體抱出來扔進下水道，礙事的書包被我無意識地拿在手裏，不知道往哪裏扔。】
聽到這裏，趙向晚已經明白了整個案發過程。
她捏了捏拳頭，鳳眼裏寒光凜冽：“知道嗎？其實你把她塞進下道的時候，她并沒有死，只是昏迷。”
缑未平呆呆地看着趙向晚：“不可能，當時我明明已經把她砸死了！”
趙向晚的聲音冷冰冰，似秋雨打在缑未平的臉上：“法醫檢查結果顯示，她死于溺亡。”
缑未平“啊”了一聲，呆呆地看着趙向晚。
【她沒死嗎？我以為她死了。唉！早知道她當時沒死，我何必吓到把她扔進下水道？人沒死，強.奸罪判刑，在監獄裏待個十幾年就能放出來，那個時候我還沒老，重新開始，低下姿态，娶個普通女人過完下半輩子，也不是不可以。唉！我聰明一時、糊塗一時啊。】
缑未平的聲音有些幹澀：“我真以為，她當時死了。我是第一次幹這樣的事，心裏還是怕的。看到她眼皮一動，知道她會醒過來，想到她見過我的臉，要是放任她活着，我肯定得坐牢。我還沒活夠呢，我剛從那個紀律嚴明、管理嚴格的軍營出來，我不想再進監獄，我想賺大錢，過好日子。”
趙向晚：“所以呢？因為害怕失去自由，所以選擇失去生命？”
缑未平被她這一句話噎住，半天不知道應該說什麽。
是啊，就因為害怕進監獄，所以現在得吃槍子兒，這這這……越想越懊惱，缑未平的話突然變得多了起來。
“當時我把她扔進下水道的時候，以為她已經死了，我其實也不想殺她的，只怪她長得太好看，只怪她太高傲，不怪我，真的不怪我。”
不怕你話多，就怕你不說話。
不怕你花言巧語，就怕你一心求死。
只有讓你産生希望，再慢慢地、一點點地将這點希望之火掐滅，這個時候你的忏悔，才是真正的忏悔！
趙向晚聽到缑未平的話開始變多，雙眼熠熠生輝，整個人進入高度集中的狀态。
“我聽說，你回到偃縣之後打算盤一家店面，做建材生意？”
缑未平聽她與自己拉家常，一根緊繃的神經突然便放松了下來：“是。”
“國家大搞經濟建設，未來老百姓想要住房都要從市場上買，你這個決策非常有遠見，不到五年你就能成為縣城有錢人，十年之後你應該會把建材生意做到省城，腰纏萬貫下揚州，不是夢。你在缑姓家族中，将揚名立萬。”
聽到趙向晚的話，缑未平的腰杆漸漸挺直：“對吧？我就是這樣想的。雖然軍隊把我開除，但我當工程兵這麽多年，對建築行業并不陌生。京都這三個月我在幾個工地打工，看到了很多，也學到了很多，我有信心，将來一定能夠成為有錢人。”
趙向晚點了點頭：“的确是這樣。我們的人生，只要方向準确，勤奮努力就一定會有個好結果。你是個聰明人，善于觀察、膽子大、有魅力、敢闖敢幹，我們秦隊曾經說過，你這樣的人才，不管在哪個行業，只要肯努力，就一定能夠出人頭地。”
缑未平的臉上有了笑意，眼睛裏也多了一絲光彩：“對吧？我也是這樣覺得。我是鎮上也有過當兵入伍的人，他們複員回來之後分配到縣城政府單位，吃上了公家飯，我讀書不行，高中還沒畢業就動了當兵的念頭。我身體好、有文化，到了軍隊當上工程兵，原本也有機會考軍校當軍官，只是我守不住寂寞，違反了部隊紀律，被開除了。”
說到曾經的過往，缑未平有滔滔不絕之勢。
趙向晚恰到好處地詢問：“然後呢？”
往事如風，缑未平略有些惆悵地搖了搖頭：“開除了，我的前途在哪裏？其實當時我心裏還是挺難受的。我沒臉回家，索性來到京都，想要找一找未來的路。”
趙向晚道：“你的眼光很準，做建材生意這條路，非常對。我有個朋友做房地産開發，剛一起步就賺了八百多萬，這一行真的很賺錢。”
缑未平眼睛一亮：“八百萬？！這一行果然賺錢！”
【只要有了錢，什麽女人找不到？清純的、妖豔的、有文化的、懂風情的，任老子挑。】
趙向晚眉毛微挑，這貨心心念念的，一直是女人。
趙向晚道：“只要沿着這條路做下去，依你的能力，賺錢根本不是問題。鎮上女人漂亮嗎？喜歡你的人一定不少吧？”
秦勇兵推開審訊室的門，負責筆錄的孫岫忙站了起來。秦勇兵示意他坐下，自己則站在一旁準備旁聽，看看趙向晚這小丫頭到底想審問些什麽。
沒想到一進來就聽到這一句“鎮上女人漂亮嗎？”秦勇兵不由得打量着這個鳳眼秀眉的姑娘。現在的年輕人真有意思，審訊兇犯用的是什麽招？
缑未平根本沒有留意有人進來，他的心思都被趙向晚的話語牽動：“我剛回家，就有人來找我媽打聽，正打算相親去。我們鎮的女人可能沒有京都女人那麽有見識，但勝在純樸、溫柔。我那天在鎮上轉了一圈，看到了好幾個眉眼漂亮的。”
趙向晚道：“是啊，找一個懂事、溫柔的老婆，生兩個聽話的孩子，等賺了錢……”
缑未平接過她的話，開始暢想未來：“再找兩個漂亮情人，走到風月場所，大把的鈔票撒下去，要什麽女人沒有？”
趙向晚突然閉上嘴，擡眸與缑未平目光相對。
缑未平剛剛想得歡樂，突然趙向晚不說話了，這讓他有一種拉屎拉了一半被人叫起來的憋屈感，臉色一下子難看起來，催促道：“你怎麽不說話了？”
趙向晚目光似電，緊緊盯着缑未平，眼中燃起熊熊火焰，燒得缑未平突然不知所措起來：“我，我怎麽了？”
【我說錯了話嗎？我只不過是在回憶過去，暢想未來，沒有錯啊。】
【她為什麽這樣看着我，我做錯了什麽？】
【哦，對了，我殺了人……】
趙向晚繼續等待。
【我殺了人，我被抓起來了，這一切都成了夢。】
【什麽賺錢，什麽老婆、孩子，什麽漂亮情人，這一切都只是想想而已。】
如果剛才缑未平的懊惱只是一閃念，那現在的悔恨卻是真真實實、深刻無比。他的過去，趙向晚認真傾聽、溫柔鼓勵，他對未來的決策，趙向晚參與謀劃、真心誇贊，他對美好将來的暢想，趙向晚比他還要積極，描述出無比美好的畫面。
就仿佛時間突然撥了快進鍵，殺人的那一段被揭過不提，缑未平已經創業成功、家庭幸福、家裏紅旗不倒、家外彩旗飄飄……
畫面太美，卻被突然按下關機鍵，不管是誰，都會覺得難受。
缑未平的手開始顫抖，帶動雙肩抽動起來。有一種尖銳的疼痛感從心髒處傳來，刺得他整個人都開始哆嗦。
趁你病，要你命！
趙向晚終于開口說話。
她的聲音冷似鐵、硬如冰，仿佛鋒利的尖刀剜着缑未平那顆本就因為懊惱、悔恨而疼痛的心。
“可惜啊，一切都不存在了。”
“如果你沒有沖動殺人，也許現在你已經在鎮上盤下了一家店，接受父輩們的安排開始相親。”
“相到喜歡的女孩，她有一張紅撲撲的臉蛋，或許不夠文雅，但她崇拜你、喜歡你，挽着你的胳膊走在大街上，心裏美滋滋的。在她心裏，你高大威猛、有能力、有擔當，是個值得托付終生的男子漢。她的心裏、眼裏只有你，她會溫柔地吻你，将自己的一切奉獻給你。”
“這個女孩有着健美的身段，和你的身體無比契合，你們倆結婚後，你會感覺自己是全世界最幸福的男人，因為她愛你，她渴望你，她誇贊你，她說你是全世界最好的男人。”
缑未平痛得無法呼吸，他原本，真的可以擁有這一切！
“一年後，你們的大兒子出生，看着襁褓中的嬰兒，那張酷似你的臉蛋，你覺得這一切都是值得的。”
“你的事業越做越大，你有了更多的朋友，缑姓家族的人以你為榮，只要有節日、慶典，一定要請你坐最前面的一桌。”
“你成為創業明星，你上了電視，你有過很多女人，可是你還是最愛你的妻子。她在家裏操持家務，為你又生了一個女兒，幫你贍養父母，家裏家外處理得周周到到。雖然臉上有了風霜，但是
她的眼睛裏只有你，她覺得你是她的天，你是她的全世界。”
缑未平額角青筋暴露，猛地擡起下巴，雙手瘋了一樣砸着鐵椅扶手，吼叫道：“別說了！我求求你，別說了！”
趙向晚冷笑：“美好嗎？可惜啊，這一切都不屬于你。”
“啊啊啊——”
缑未平開始哀嚎，他想伸出手挽回那原本應該屬于他的一切，可是……他的手被牢牢束縛在鐵椅上，手铐砸在椅上發出巨大的聲響。
“哐！哐！哐！”
每一記聲響，都仿佛重重砸在他的心上。
痛不可抑。
時間無法重回，失去的便永遠失去了！
趙向晚拿出聞倩語的照片，高高舉起，面向缑未平。
“睜開狗眼，好好看看！這就是你殺的人，她的名字，叫聞，倩，語！”
趙向晚的聲音裏，帶着凜然正氣，讓缑未平的內心産生出有一種無處逃遁的慌亂，逼迫着他不得不擡頭看向那張照片。
這是一張聞倩語十八歲時拍攝的藝術照，饒湘坐着，笑得溫柔，聞倩語站着，手放在母親肩膀上。母女倆相依相偎，幸福感滿滿。
“看到了沒？她也是爹生媽養，她也應該有美好的前途！”
“你想開一家建材店，趁着城市大搞建設賺錢；她想出國留學，學好國際貿易專業知識，将來和外國人做生意，賺外國人的錢。”
“你有夢想，她也有！你想找一個愛你的女人結婚，生兩個孩子，成為缑姓家族的榮耀；她也想一生一世一雙人，生一個漂亮的寶寶，成為父母的驕傲。”
宛如被一支利箭身穿胸膛，缑未平終于感覺到了愧疚。
先前殺人的時候，只知道逞一時之快，只想着奸了也就奸了，不能讓她發現不能讓她事後報警，不能讓她毀了自己的人生。
可是他從來沒有想過，那也是一條活生生的人命。
她叫聞倩語？真的是個非常好聽的名字。
她母親，照片上的母親看着保養得非常好，溫婉慈愛。可是那天在公安局門口看到的，卻是個面容蒼老、頭發全白的老婦人。是因為女兒死了，所以難過傷心嗎？當時下雨，下得還不小，這個老婦人沒有帶傘，頭發被打濕，好像聽到她在罵。她罵的是什麽？
缑未平在腦海裏努力回想，好像是罵他不得好死？
不用她咒罵，現在的他，還能活嗎？殺了人，抛屍下水道，逃逸，他難道還能活下去？
趙向晚繼續往他心上紮刀子：“聞倩語原本是打算和室友一起回宿舍的，之所以留在自習室，是因為她還有一套聽力測試卷沒有做完。這樣一個刻苦努力、目标明确的人，是不是和你很像？原本，你和她都将成為社會的佼佼者，可是這一切，都被你毀了。”
“啊啊啊，嗚嗚嗚……”
缑未平嚎啕大哭起來，哭聲嗚咽。
審訊室所有公安幹警面露鄙夷：現在哭有什麽用？早幹什麽去了！
趙向晚終于站了起來，站到鐵栅欄旁，拉近與缑未平的距離，高高舉起那張照片，句句誅心。
“原本你應該家庭事業雙豐收，原本你應該前途美好人人稱贊。”
“原本聞倩語應該和同齡的女孩子一起讀書，一起歡笑。”
“原本你的父母應該以你為榮。”
“原本聞倩語的父母應該為女兒驕傲。”
“可是這一切，這一切美好，都被你毀了！”
“人生只有這一段，永遠沒辦法重來。”
“你這個無恥的殺人犯，到地獄裏去忏悔吧！”
明明心髒處尖銳的疼痛不斷在提醒缑未平，不要再聽，不要再想，做了就做了，沒辦法後悔。
可是趙向晚的聲音卻仿佛帶着冰冷的殺意，逼得他不敢不擡頭，不得不看着那張照片。
淚眼模糊裏，缑未平仿佛回到那個雨夜。
如果他只是遠遠欣賞一下大學校園裏苦讀的學子，不要靠近呢？
如果他推開門見到聞倩語，客客氣氣說幾句話，哪怕被她拒絕也不要生氣呢？
如果他看到那美麗的身段，聞到那少女的馨香，能夠壓住體內不斷叫嚣的沖動呢？
或許，一切都會不一樣。
他會在偃縣開一家小店。
聞倩語會在大學繼續讀書、自習。
他會通過相親認識一個好姑娘。
聞倩語會在校園談一場戀愛。
原本就是兩條永不相交的人生線，為什麽自己非要犯罪？
缑未平低下頭，佝偻着肩，将臉埋進那雙因為被铐住而不能擡高的雙手裏，喃喃道：“我認罪，我認罪……”
趙向晚看向負責做筆錄的孫岫：“剩下的事，就交給你了。”
說罷，她轉身離開。
兇手雖然抓獲，雖然認罪，可是被他殺害的人，卻再也活不回來了。
白衫藍裙。
宛如芙蕖綻放，清冷裏飄散着悠香。
走出西山區公安局的大門，見到等在門口的饒湘，趙向晚內心的悲傷終于找到安放的地方，伸臂抱住她，輕聲道：“我幫您，幫聞倩語出了一口惡氣。”
饒湘緊緊抱着趙向晚：“謝謝，謝謝，你是一個好姑娘。”
蔣汀蘭淚如雨下：“向晚，謝謝你。”
書包找到，蔣汀蘭終于知道為什麽聞倩語會突然起興周六晚上回家。因為她說冷，想到她只有一件外套，聞倩語打算回家給蔣汀蘭找兩件舊衣服。
聞倩語怕自己忘記，在英語聽力測試卷旁邊寫了一行字。
——Remember to bring Tinglan’s coat.
Zhao Xiangwan quickly adjusted her emotions and said to Rao Xiang, "No life can be repeated. Auntie, do you want to live this life in sorrow, or fulfill Wen Qianyu's dream on her behalf?"
Rao Xiang stared at Zhao Xiangwan blankly: "Qianqian wants to study abroad and work in foreign trade."
Zhao Xiangwan said, "You are only forty-five years old." If a person can live to eighty, Rao Xiang still has thirty-five years.
Rao Xiang's eyes suddenly shone with an extremely bright light: "Can I? Can I really do it?"
Zhao Xiangwan nodded: "As long as you want, everything is in time."
Rao Xiang's state of despair finally changed, and he began to think about this possibility. Zhao Xiangwan heard her thoughts, smiled, straightened up, and looked at Jiang Tinglan.
Jiang Tinglan seemed to understand something, and she straightened her back and said with tears in her eyes, "Don't worry, Xiangwan." Jiang Tinglan did not say the rest.
Some things are more powerful if kept in mind than spoken out.
Leaving Kyoto with Ji Zhao, sitting in the sleeper car of the train, looking at the telephone poles moving backwards outside the window, Zhao Xiangwan's heavy heart became relaxed.
An unsolved case that would have taken more than 20 years to be solved was quickly solved due to the intervention of himself and Ji Zhao.
Gou Weiping will not have a chance to enjoy life, he will be punished by law.
Wen Qianyu's mother would not have waited for more than 20 years for justice. She would have let go of her hatred and lived a good life.
As soon as Zhao Xiangwan and Ji Zhao got off the train, they were taken to the serious crime team by Xu Songling. As soon as they entered the office, they were warmly welcomed by everyone.
"The hero returns!"
"It brings honor to our Hunan Provincial Public Security Chief."
"The Ministry of Public Security has heard about Ji Zhao's ability to paint portraits. Director Xu's phone is about to explode!"
"Ha ha ha ha--"
The laughter and cheers were about to blow the roof off.
Returning to the familiar environment and seeing the familiar smiling faces, Zhao Xiangwan felt warm in his heart and said, "Don't worry, the Kyoto police can't poach me and Ji Zhao."
Xu Songling was waiting for this sentence, and laughed: "Not bad, not bad, I said it, how could Qin Yongbing dig up the apprentice I cultivated with great difficulty just by opening his mouth?"
A childish voice sounded at the side: "Great!"
Zhao Xiangwan quickly turned his head and saw a three-year-old little girl with a flowery hairstyle, big eyes, and a pink mouth. When she spoke, her two rabbit teeth were exposed. She was so cute.
Zhao Xiangwan was a little surprised and looked at Liu Liangju: "Senior Brother Liu, is this your Liu Lizi?"
Liu Liangju picked up the cute little girl and smiled until his eyes narrowed into a line: "Isn't it my baby Liu Lizi? Come, say hello to Sister Zhao."
Liu Lizi leaned in her father's arms, grinned, and waved to Zhao Xiangwan: "Hello, Sister Zhao."
Zhao Xiangwan smiled and joked: "Your father is my senior brother, you have to call me aunt."
Liu Lizi twisted her waist and said, "It's my sister!"
Zhao Xiangwan took out a candied haws from her bag, unwrapped it and handed it to her: "Good girl, I'll treat you to a candied haws."
Kyoto's Tanghulu is a specialty. Zhao Xiangwan likes the small-packaged ones, so he bought a big bag to give as gifts. A toothpick strung two hawthorns in candied sugar, bright red, juicy, sour and sweet, very delicious.
As soon as Liu Lizi saw the candied haws, he immediately smiled with his eyes narrowed and held them in his mouth happily.
Zhao Xiangwan asked casually, "Senior Brother Liu, why did you bring Li Zi to work today? Don't you usually send him to kindergarten?"
Unexpectedly, this question brought out Liu Liangju's deepest thoughts.
"Hey, isn't my wife a teacher at Santai Road Primary School? Usually, she sends Liu Lizi to the nearby Santai Road Kindergarten. This time, a murder occurred in the dormitory building of Santai Road Primary School. The school was suspended for a day and all teachers were questioned. No one was taking care of Liu Lizi, so I had to bring her back."
Zhao Xiangwan asked: "If elementary schools are closed, kindergartens should open."
Liu Liangju sighed: "The child of the family where the murder occurred also attends the Santai Road kindergarten. The Santai Road police station has filed a case and the kindergarten teacher is also under investigation. I was afraid that no one would take care of Li Zi, so I brought her here."
Zhao Xiangwan said "Oh".
After hearing about the murder, the others became interested: "Brother Liu, come on, tell us about it."
He Mingyu rolled his eyes at them and said, "Are you workaholics? You all get all worked up when you hear about a murder case. We have a rare moment of leisure today, so we mainly want to welcome Xiang Wan and Ji Zhao, welcome them, clean up the mess, and celebrate their success. Let's not discuss the case at this time, okay?"
Liu Liangju laughed when he heard this: "Yes, yes, I shouldn't have said these things. Anyway, the case is now taken over by the Santai Road Police Station. It's not my responsibility, so I can relax. Today, let's celebrate for Junior Sister Xiang Wan!"
Zhao Xiangwan waved his hands and said, "It's nothing. The main reason this time is that Ji Zhao showed up. With his portrait, everything becomes much easier when looking for clues and finding people. The Xishan District Public Security Bureau is also generous. They put a reward of 10,000 in the newspaper and posted tens of thousands of copies of the portrait. Gou Weiping's portrait can be recognized at a glance. Wherever he goes, there are crowds of eyes staring at him. The human wave tactic works."
As he was introducing his experience of the trip to Kyoto, someone knocked on the door and came in. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xu Songling: "Director Xu, there was a murder on Santai Road. Please ask for support from the police station."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Liangju's face.
