Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Deputy Captain Qin often speaks like this...
Captain Chen glanced at Qin Zhanwu and saw that his eyes followed Su Yan as she walked away until she was out of sight at the corner of the corridor. He then retracted his gaze and asked in a nonchalant tone, "What case are you investigating here? Was that girl's things stolen? Why did you call her in so late at night to question and identify her?"
Captain Chen lit a cigarette and shook his head. "Last month, we apprehended a man who had committed murder. Inside his bag, we found this woman's university diploma. The inmate claimed he molested her. Today, we called her in for a routine questioning, but she's refusing to admit it. That's understandable; no woman would want to admit to such a thing, especially one with a good education and a good job."
After a few words, they started gossiping: "You kid still have no place to go? You're not a child anymore, it's time for you to get married. When I went back to my hometown last year, Uncle Qin even called me over to ask about you. Although he didn't say anything, he was still very worried. There's no overnight hatred between father and son. You should find some time to call back..."
Captain Chen, named Chen Xiaohu, was a fellow villager of Qin Zhanwu's. They had previously served in the same military before transferring to the Jiangzhou Public Security Bureau. Qin Zhanwu reconnected when he went to Jiangzhou to attend military school.
Qin Zhanwu listened to him absentmindedly, then suddenly put out his cigarette and said, "I want to go and take a look?"
Chen Xiaohu was chattering away when Qin Zhanwu's nonsensical remark stunned him: "You've thought it through and are willing to go home and take a look." Seeing Qin Zhanwu's gaze on the building behind him, he finally understood: "You know that girl?"
Qin Zhanwu nodded and uttered two words: "I know him!"
Su Yan was taken to the temporary detention center. There was a long corridor with two doors opened before she could enter. Wang Tieshu was handcuffed and shackled, unable to move. Someone turned on the headlights above his head: "Wang Tieshu, look up."
The man slowly raised his head. The light was too bright, and he squinted for a while before adjusting. He looked up and saw the policewoman outside the iron railings in front of him. She smiled and said, "Officer, are you here to bring me my last meal? I heard that the last meal must have meat. If I can have a meat meal before being shot, it's worth it."
The female officer took a wooden stick and knocked on the iron railings, warning, "Wang Tieshu, be quiet. You will definitely be sentenced to death, and how you live before death is not up to you."
Wang Tieshu didn't take it seriously. He turned his eyes and saw Su Yan. His eyes sparkled and he smiled creepily, "Hey, isn't this that college girl? We're a one-night stand, and you came to see me?"
Su Yan didn't know why, but she felt that the sound was extremely harsh, like her old cat playfully scratching glass with its nails. She felt so sick that she wanted to vomit. She said to the female police officer, "I don't know this person."
Wang Tieshu's voice became louder: "Hey, how can you say you don't recognize me? Have you forgotten that I pulled you under the bridge? You were so strong at the beginning that you kicked me over with one kick and I almost fell into the river. You little girl, you don't admit it now? Your skin is so smooth, so tender, and feels better than tofu. Hey, your whole body is red, and you have a butterfly birthmark on your stomach. Little girl, don't deny it, this is the fact. You are so handsome, how could I not recognize you?" He said while looking at Su Yan angrily
Su Yan shook her head and concluded in a low voice: "Shameless antisocial personality!"
Wang Tieshu chuckled coldly after hearing this and said, "What are you rebelling against? I'm not against revolution. If you hadn't been so violent, I wouldn't have stabbed you in the stomach and thrown you into the river. You're lucky to still be alive."
Su Yan didn't know what to do. She kept feeling a nauseating stench in the air, feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit. She asked the female police officer, "I see clearly, I don't recognize this person. Can I leave now?"
Su Yan felt a little dizzy and leaned against the wall. She was very angry just now. She didn't know when Qin Zhanwu came to her side and held her hand: "I'll take you home."
She didn't know how much of what Wang Tieshu said just now he heard. Su Yan only felt angry and sorry for the original Lu Yingzi. She remembered the dream she had, and the continuous plot was not a bunch of inexplicable fragments. At this time, she thought pessimistically, maybe the original Lu Yingzi had not been in trouble and had not been ruined by this person, then she would not have come here?
If Su Yan had not come here, she would not have to raise and take care of two children, would not have to live frugally every month, would not have to take out some meat from the space to cook, and would not have to be terrified of being discovered, and would not have been suppressed by the high-pressure political atmosphere to become silent and dare not say a word.
Before Wang Tieshu could say anything indecent, Captain Chen opened the iron gate, walked in, and struck him twice in the face with his baton: "You murderer, keep your mouth shut! You've come to a place where you're still acting like a wild beast..."
Wang Tieshu was beaten until his face was covered in blood, but he laughed heartily: "Hey, I've slept with college students too..."
Qin Zhanwu's face turned pale as he helped Su Yan out of the building and gradually lost his hearing.
Su Yan went outside and felt much better after a breeze. She stood for a while and felt that she was not too dizzy. She said, "This place is not far from my home. I can go back by myself. Thank you."
Qin Zhanwu didn't allow her to refuse. He drove over and opened the door: "Get in!"
Su Yan looked at his gloomy face, wondering what she had done to offend him, or was he angry at her for not telling him after hearing what Wang Tieshu had said? Su Yan thought to herself, isn't it just one night of sleeping together? Does he really think he's someone she cares about?
At this time, Captain Chen chased out, holding Lu Yingzi's graduation certificate in his hand: "Such an important thing, and you left it behind."
Qin Zhanwu took it and said to Chen Xiaohu, "I'll come to your house to find you tomorrow."
Then he turned to Su Yan and said, "Get in the car, I'll take you home."
Su Yan didn't want to make things too awkward, so she thanked Captain Chen and got in the car.
Qin Zhanwu drove very fast. After leaving the Public Security Bureau yard, he arrived at Xiaoheyan in just ten minutes.
The two of them didn't speak the whole way. Su Yan said thank you and got off the car with her university diploma.
Su Yan was just rummaging through her bag for her keys when she saw Qin Zhanwu push open the car door and get out. He asked bluntly, "You said you didn't want to get married, didn't want to marry me, is that why?"
Su Yan didn't stop and opened the big lock on the door. Then she looked into his eyes and said, "No, it has nothing to do with this."
Qin Zhanwu didn't believe it and pulled Su Yan's wrist: "Who do you think I am? You underestimate me too much. How could I care about this?"
Su Yan was silent for a moment, then denied, "I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know that Wang Tieshu."
Qin Zhanwu sighed, helpless: "Okay, if you say you don't know me, then I don't know you. Let's just pretend we've never met. I'll believe whatever you say. I'll go and file a marriage registration tomorrow, and we'll get married."
This was not a tone of negotiation. Su Yan felt her heart aching. She took a step back and leaned against the wall. There were no lights around at this moment. Only the hazy moonlight illuminated his hazy outline. This was exactly like Su Yan's impression of him, always a hazy mist. It was completely unclear when she got closer.
She finally spoke, her voice already a little hoarse: "Deputy Captain Qin, do you often say shocking things like this? I almost wonder how many girls you've said this to."
Qin Zhanwu's face was gloomy. At this moment, he couldn't understand Su Yan's joke.
Su Yan sighed, "Qin Zhanwu, what do you like about me? We've only met a few times and exchanged no more than a hundred sentences. You don't even know me, don't know what kind of person I am, so how can you say you like me? Honestly, I'm baffled by your persistent attitude."
Qin Zhanwu stopped her in her tracks: "I only know that you are a good girl that I cannot miss."
Su Yan smiled and shook her head: "There are many good girls in the world..."
Su Yan interrupted him: "But there is only one girl in a green dress at the ball!"
Qin Zhanwu looked at Su Yan, who lowered her head slightly, revealing her fair and slender neck. He couldn't help but take a step forward, put his arms around Su Yan's waist, and squeezed her gently: "Let's get married. I will take responsibility!"
Su Yan sighed slightly: "I'm so sorry."
Qin Zhanwu nodded: "I know that nothing in this world is born to belong to me." When he said this, his eyes passed through Su Yan and looked into the distance of the void, wondering what he was thinking.
Su Yan actually heard an infinite sadness in these words. She paused and said, "Can you help me find a doctor? I might be pregnant and I want to confirm it." In this era, Su Yan would never dare to go to the hospital alone. Not to mention that the doctor would ask whether she was married during the examination and register the records, getting pregnant before marriage was considered a hooliganism crime.
Qin Zhanwu's heart seemed to be gripped by something. Just as he was about to say something, Su Yan extinguished his hope: "I don't want to have children. If I really get pregnant, I want to abort it."
After saying that, Su Yan stopped looking at him and pushed the door open and went into the yard.
The room was dark. The two children were still at Aunt Xu's house. They were too busy today and had not been picked up yet. Su Yan did not turn on the lights. She pushed open the door to the inner room in the dark and lay on the bed. She used the two pregnancy test sticks this morning. Both of them showed positive results. She already knew that she was probably pregnant.
She lay on the bed for a while, then sat down at the desk, turned on the light, picked up a pen and started to sort out what had happened that day.
He would definitely advocate for the promotion of Director Lin's method of increasing grain production. If the secretary asked him about the study conference in Jiubei Village, he would just tell the truth. He probably wouldn't ask him to do it.
