Chapter 212
At 9:30 in the morning, Wu Dongyan received a call from Ran Manman, in which she said that she accidentally injured Wei Liang.
Ran Manman was sobbing on the phone and couldn't even speak clearly. Lin Shuyue happened to be with Wu Dongyan, and when she heard what was going on, she walked towards the community where Ran Manman rented.
When they arrived, Ran Manman was sitting in the living room, and Wei Liang was tied to a stool with a rag stuffed in his mouth.
After looking around and not seeing any bloodstains, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Ran Manman was still sitting on the sofa in a daze. Half of her face was swollen, the corner of her mouth was also swollen, and there were traces of tears on her face.
“Ran Manman?”
Wu Dongyan's cry brought Ran Manman back to her senses. She looked at Wu Dongyan and others in police uniforms, and tears suddenly flowed down her cheeks.
"I was cleaning the house in the morning, and Wei Liang came in pretending to be a water meter reader. As soon as he came in, he started to choke me." Ran Manman looked at Wei Liang, hatred pouring from her eyes.
She really didn't expect that the man who begged her not to divorce yesterday and sent her messages talking about love at night would come to her house this morning and beat her up.
The feeling of suffocation is still fresh in Ran Manman's memory even now. She unconsciously touched her neck, and the dryness and pain in her throat became more obvious.
She said, "If my brother hadn't arrived in time, I would have been strangled to death by him."
Ran Manman never hid the fact that she wanted a divorce from her family. She called home last night and her brother came over this morning.
They all knew the Wei family too well. Except for Wei Yu, they were all cold-hearted. Wei Liang seemed okay on weekdays, but he knew that she had filed for divorce before and that the Wei family had put pressure on her family.
As a husband, he never fought for her at all. She had long understood that all those things he had said before, that he was moving to her dowry house for her and coming to Pengcheng to work for her, were just because he wanted a legitimate reason to do those things.
So during all the years she was with Wei Liang, her reputation was always bad no matter where she went. She saw it clearly, so she no longer cared about it.
But today's Wei Liang still made her feel frightened. He was too scary. This man was too scary.
It was at this moment that she was absolutely certain that Xing Yueya and Wei Rongzhen knew exactly what they had done to Wei Yu.
But because she was not the one who was hurt, no matter how Xing Yueya and Wei Rongzhen treated Wei Yu, it did not harm his interests, so he turned a blind eye to it. He pretended to know nothing and worked for Wei Yu with a clear conscience and no guilt. He contacted Wei Yu several times, trying to kidnap Wei Yu by using the small favors he had done to Wei Yu. What was his ultimate purpose?
This morning, Ran Manman didn't dare to think too much about it. He didn't even dare to think about the time when Xinxin was brought to Wei Rongzhen, and not long after that, the extra money in Wei Liang's card was used to show that he was suddenly promoted from a front-line worker at the hydropower station to a member of the office logistics team.
There are many people, little work, and good benefits. It is much better than the previous front-line staff.
For the first time, Ran Manman discovered that the person sleeping next to her was so shameless and despicable! At this moment, she was especially grateful to Wei Yu. If Wei Yu had not reminded her that year to beware of the Wei family, she might have been sold out and had to pay money to the Wei family.
Ran Manman's hands were trembling, and her story made Wei Liang struggle hard while sitting on the stool.
Wu Dongyan and the other man looked at him and asked, "Where's your brother?"
"The teacher at the nursery called and said Xinxin was crying a lot at school, so I asked my brother to pick her up."
Wei Xinxin went to a kindergarten near Ran Manman's rented house. It only took ten minutes to go there and back. As she was talking, the sound of conversation outside came into the house.
"Uncle, I want an Ultraman. All the kids in my class have one. Last time my mother gave me money to buy one, but later I met my father. He took my money and told me that Ultraman is a toy for boys and girls can't play with it." Xinxin's voice was strong and soft, but the content of her words made Ran Manman feel sad.
Just as Wei Rongzhen did not treat his daughter as a human being, in Wei Liang's eyes, his daughter was not a human being either. It’s just that Wei Liang disguised himself because of the general environment.
However, no matter how much a person pretends, he cannot pretend to be good at details. For example, as Xinxin said, he even needs a child's pocket money. ▓
Wei Liang is also a man with a proper job and his monthly salary is not low. He even takes away the one or two yuan pocket money of the children. Is he dead poor?
Xinxin walked into the house holding the hand of Ran Manman's brother. When the uncle and nephew saw the police, they paused at the same time. Xinxin ran to Ran Manman and buried herself in her arms, while Ran Manman's brother was taken aside by Wu Dongyan for questioning.
Everyone was present, Wei Liang was untied, and the rag on his mouth was removed. He moved his hands, which were numb and swollen from being tied up, and said, "Comrade police, we just had a small quarrel. There's no need for you to come to my house, right?"
Wei Liang had already figured out how to escape when he was subdued by Ran Manman's brother. Under the national conditions of China for thousands of years, a fight between a couple, or a unilateral beating of one by one, would be considered a family matter after just a few words.
It is a proverb that has been passed down for thousands of years that even an honest judge finds it difficult to judge family disputes. Wei Liang has learned a lot of essentials from his father's words and deeds since he was a child.
Besides, just because Ran Manman said he would break into a house and kill someone, did he do that? Who has evidence?
Wei Liang was certain that the police had no way to do anything to him. Ran Manman didn't have any injuries on her body, and the appraisal showed that they were not even minor injuries. If the police arrested him, they would at most give him a verbal education.
Lin Shuyue listened to Wei Liang's shameless words, but her eyes fell on a black bulge on the chest of drawers in the corner.
Ran Manman curled the corners of her mouth and sneered. She had known what kind of person Wei Liang was, but every time, Wei Liang could refresh the bottom line of the impression he made on her.
"I installed surveillance." Ran Manman's words made Wei Liang's face darken.
"Are you sick? Why are you putting surveillance cameras at home?"
"If I didn't put up the surveillance camera, how would I know you were such a beast?" Ran Manman installed the surveillance camera to prevent any possible trouble. And it had only been installed for a few days. When Xing Yueya entered the Hot Spring Villa Sanatorium, Ran Manman was planning to divorce Wei Liang.
But before she could get the divorce, Xing Yueya got into trouble.
The couple started arguing. The policeman who came with Wu Dongyan tried to persuade them but failed. Wu Dongyan then followed Ran Manman's brother to the second bedroom, where there was a computer. After watching the morning surveillance video, Wu Dongyan handcuffed Wei Liang personally.
Judging from Wei Liang's attitude and words when he rushed in, he would not be able to escape the charge of intentional homicide as long as Ran Manman did not change her confession and let him go.
Ran Manman and her brother took little Xinxin with them. Xinxin was not very curious about her father being arrested. She was even looking around with great interest in Ran Manman's brother's arms.
Lin Shuyue did not go back to the Public Security Bureau with them. She watched Wu Dongyan and others walk away.
The wind blew her hair, and Lin Shuyue thought that Wei Xinxin was much luckier than Wei Yu because her mother loved and protected her. In addition, she was still young when Wei Rongzhen molested her, so those things had little impact on her.
Lin Shuyue didn't drive, nor was she in a hurry to leave. Instead, she walked slowly along the roadside.
It is already the middle of the twelfth lunar month, and the festive atmosphere on the streets is even stronger. Some shops have already started playing New Year songs.
There are many stalls selling chrysanthemums and orange trees on the street. Some people have already started selling lanterns and couplets. There are also many beggars and performers.
People selling various small commodities are also waiting to make the last profit before the New Year. Lin Shuyue caught several pickpockets along the way and handed them over to the patrolling police nearby. By the afternoon, she had earned more than 700 points.
Just as she was about to make further progress, she received a call from Lou Fengqin. Lin Shuyue heard that her tone was not very good, so she decided to call it a day and go home.
As soon as she reached the door, she could hear the voice broadcast of the good and evil discrimination system.
[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for helping the police solve the "Nursing Home Murder Case". This mission rewards 30 years of life and RMBX6000.
Points x30000. 】
The system, which has been upgraded for the fourth time, no longer gives each case a name as before. Instead, it directly marks the crime value of the suspect to indicate the opening of the case.
The murderer in the case was caught and confessed, which meant that the mission was over.
This unusual system voice broadcast made Lin Shuyue stop in her tracks.
To be honest, this case is not a particularly big case. It cannot be compared with many previous cases and is particularly easy to solve. She did not actually play a big role in this case.
The reward of RMB 6,000 was nothing, but the thirty years of life and thirty thousand points were something Lin Shuyue had not expected.
[System, you have a bug? 】This was the only thought that came to Lin Shuyue’s mind after she heard about choosing this reward.
She no longer needs to worry about her life value. Her life value has reached more than ten years now. Adding the thirty years of the system, she has a life span of more than forty years.
She is twenty-one years old now, and with more than forty years of life left, she can live to over sixty years old. Lin Shuyue's heart skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling.
【Ding~The system is self-checking. Ding~The self-checking is completed. Everything is normal in this system. 】
Since the system is normal, then...
[System, are you leaving?] 】
[Yes, host. Since this system has been bound to you, it has solved many cases and rescued many people. Part of the merits have been returned to you, and part of them are nutrients for the system. To date, the energy pool of this system has been filled with 97% of the energy value. When the energy value is full, this system will be separated from the host. 】
After hearing the system's confirmation, Lin Shuyue couldn't tell what she felt for a moment.
She has been bound to the system until now, and in Lin Shuyue's heart, the system has become her best partner.
Lin Shuyue had thought that she would leave, but she didn't expect that this day would come so soon. She was reluctant to leave. How could she describe this feeling? It was like a comrade-in-arms who was particularly good to her was about to leave. The sadness and reluctance made her particularly uncomfortable.
The good and evil discrimination system sensed the host's mental fluctuations and took the initiative to say: [Host, don't worry. When the system leaves, it will leave a stand-alone version for the host. The host can manually operate this system in the future. 】
This sentence did not bring much comfort to Lin Shuyue, who was still very sad.
Lin Shuxing came out carrying the trash and saw her standing stupidly at the door. He came up and touched Lin Shuyue's forehead: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
After Lin Shuxing's pregnancy reaction ended, her belly swelled up like a balloon. She didn't gain much weight, but she became much rounder than before.
"I'm fine, where's mom?"
"Inside the house, I've made some bone soup. We're going to have hot pot later. Ayang and his friends picked a lot of cauliflower when they came back today. They're delicious with hot pot."
"Okay." Ayang and his classmates have finished their exams and are officially on holiday today.
When Lin Shuyue entered the house, she saw her grandmother Lu Xiangcao and her aunt. They were sitting in the yard, and her aunt was peeling fruit for Lu Xiangcao.
After Lin Shuyue greeted them, she went into the kitchen. Lou Fengqin was cutting radishes. When she saw Lin Shuyue, she said, "Your grandma and your aunt have been living with us for a while. The environment and services of the nursing home are good, but it is too unsafe."
"You know, the deceased Xing Yueya, her daughter dressed up as a nurse and walked into her ward to give her an injection." Lou Fengqin went to the sanatorium early yesterday morning after receiving the news.
Wei Yu's actions were also discovered. Fan Damei had sent a message to Wei Yu before she was discovered by Lin Shuyue and others.
Wei Yu went straight to the sanatorium early in the morning. With the help of Fan Damei, he put on the clothes of a nursing staff in the sanatorium and hid himself.
After Fan Damei was arrested, she found an opportunity and went up to give Xing Yueya an injection.
After the beating, she climbed over the wall and escaped. It is precisely because of this that even if Xing Yueya did not die in the sanatorium, the people who originally lived in the sanatorium no longer trusted the sanatorium’s security.
Who can guarantee that he doesn’t have one or two enemies? Lou Fengqin's family didn't want Lu Xiangcao to live there anymore.
Since there are many rooms at home, just let Lu Xiangcao and my aunt live here directly.
No one in my aunt's family objected. They have even decided to rent a house in Pingsha Village in a few days and move in directly when the demolition occurs.
"It's better to live at home. It's more lively here with more people."
Lin Shuyue's words touched Lou Fengqin's heart. A lot of things happened last year, but Lin Jianxin went to prison, her son Ayang was found, her eldest daughter got married and her grandson was about to be born. She had a companion who could accompany her until old age, and she also had two more daughters.
Now her mother has also arrived, and her eldest brother, who is very kind to her, and his family are about to move into this village. Lou Fengqin felt that after living for so many years, this year was the most fulfilling.
We must have a good time this New Year.
Lin Shuyue talked to Lou Fengqin for a while and then returned to the room. She passed by the living room, which was very lively. Zeng Xiaoyi and Bai Pingping each played a harmonica slowly according to the music score. If they didn't understand something, they would stop to discuss it.
Zhou Bingrong and Ah Hao came. Ah Hao and Ah Yang held game controllers and sat on the mats on the ground to play video games. Zhou Bingrong watched the game on the side and gave advice to Ah Yang and Ah Hao from time to time.
When they saw Lin Shuyue, everyone happily called her "Second Sister".
Ah Hao and Zhou Bingrong often come to Lin Shuyue's house and have already regarded Lin Shuyue's house as their second home. Lin Shuyue is not polite to them and goes back to her room after saying a few words.
When she got to the room, she lay on the bed, feeling listless. Knowing that she had to separate from the good and evil system, she felt very uncomfortable.
[System, when will you leave? 】
[You can leave the energy pool once the energy reaches 100%.] 】
Lin Shuyue hummed and said nothing more. She was carefully thinking over what the system said today. To fill up the energy pool, you need merit.
As for merit, she needs to prevent the case from happening and save the innocent victims who died later in the case.
Things that Lin Shuyue had not figured out before, she now understood. She said that since she had bound the system, all the cases she discovered were major cases. It turned out that it was all because of this, because of merit.
I guess her health value is also due to this merit, right? After all, judging from what she learned at her brother-in-law's house, she should have died the moment she awakened her memories of her previous life and was bound to the system.
Now that the system's energy pool is almost full, it gave her that much health. When Lin Shuyue thought of this, she suddenly felt relieved.
"Second sister, it's time for dinner." While Lin Shuyue was analyzing, Ayang's voice came from outside the house.
Lin Shuyue got up, put on her furry slippers and went out. There were two large round tables in the living room. My uncle and his two children, as well as Lin Shuyue's cousins, had all arrived. The whole family was smiling and looked very friendly when talking to Lin Shuyue and the others.
After dinner, the family watched TV together. The movie on TV was "The Monkey King". This movie is shown every year and every month, but the ratings have never been low.
At 8:30 in the evening, Lin Shuyue's cell phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Hang Jiabai calling.
Lin Shuyue picked up the call: "Abai?"
"Well, I'm here, please come out for a moment." Hang Jiabai's voice was low and magnetic.
Lin Shuyue's face lit up: "You're back?"
As she spoke, she ran outside without even putting on her coat and opened the door. The street light at the entrance was dim and a young man was standing under the light. He was wearing a jacket that was dyed a warm yellow by the dim light and he was holding a bouquet of red roses in his hands.
Lin Shuyue hung up the phone and ran towards him. He opened his arms and Lin Shuyue ran into his arms.
The familiar scent of soap entered her nose, bringing with it a sense of security that Lin Shuyue couldn't describe, and the two hugged each other tightly.
Lou Fengqin saw Lin Shuyue go out after answering the phone call without wearing a coat. Fearing that she would catch a cold, she followed her out. When she saw the two people hugging each other tightly outside, she thought for a moment, turned around, went home, and started chopping ginger in the kitchen.
Lin Shuyue and Hang Jiabai seemed unaware and waited for an unknown amount of time before they separated. The wind was a bit chilly tonight and Lin Shuyue was wearing a long-sleeved base layer. Before she felt cold, Hang Jiabai had already placed the flowers on the ground and took off his coat.
The familiar warm breath wrapped around her body, and Lin Shuyue coughed: "When did you come back?"
Hang Jiabai squatted down and picked up the flowers, and Lin Shuyue naturally reached out to take them.
"I finished the exam in the morning and had a flight at 5pm. I came here after dropping my things at the residence." Hang Jiabai hadn't seen Lin Shuyue for more than half a month. A lot of things had happened during the months when they were apart, and Hang Jiabai had heard about them. He looked at Lin Shuyue carefully, and was relieved to see that she had no injuries on her body.
"Why didn't you tell me this morning? You even lied to me and said you had a closed class to attend." Lin Shuyue had been in constant contact with Hang Jiabai today. Hang Jiabai was really tight-lipped and he didn't reveal anything about him coming back. ┆┆
Lin Shuyue now thought about it and gave Hang Jiabai a coquettish look.
Hang Jiabai smiled as he looked at Lin Shuyue, whose beauty was enhanced by the roses under the street lights. He felt his chest soft and warm.
"I wanted to give you a surprise."
Lin Shuyue smiled: "It's really a surprise. Have you eaten?"
Hang Jiabai shook his head. Lin Shuyue pulled Hang Jiabai into the house. Lou Fengqin was standing at the kitchen door. When she saw them coming in, she hurriedly said, "Xiao Hang is here too? Come and have some ginger soup. Have you eaten? I made some bone soup. Can I cook you some rice noodles?"
There are many children in my family, and they are all in their teens, which is the age when they can eat. We always have rice noodles and other things at home, and there is never any leftover every day.
Sometimes in the middle of the night, when Lou Fengqin got up to go to the bathroom, she could still hear Ayang and the others shouting and yelling for supper.
Hang Jiabai was not afraid to see Lou Fengqin. He thanked Lou Fengqin with a smile on his face and said frankly, "Thank you, Auntie."
Lou Fengqin was very satisfied with Hang Jiabai. She said to Lin Shuyue, "Take Xiao Hang into the living room and return the clothes to him. You went out without clothes. You might catch a cold."
Lin Shuyue had long been accustomed to Lou Fengqin's nagging. She perfunctorily responded while pulling Hang Jiabai into the house. Everyone in the house turned around to look, and Hang Jiabai paused.
Lin Shuyue introduced her family to him. After her introduction, Hang Jiabai greeted everyone very politely.
Bai Wenhua was already very familiar with him, so he called him over and poured him a cup of tea. Lin Shuyue put the flowers in her hands on the cabinet next to the TV, took off her coat and gave it to her, put on her own coat, and went to the kitchen to help Lou Fengqin.
When she came back with the ginger tea, Hang Jiabai, Bai Wenhua, Luo Zhengjun, their uncle and their cousin were already chatting animatedly.
In such a lively family, Hang Jiabai drank a bowl of spicy and pungent ginger soup and ate a bowl of rice noodles with big bone soup. At ten o'clock, he was already exhausted and was left to live in the room bought by Bai Wenhua.
When I woke up, it was already broad daylight. Except for my aunt and Lu Xiangcao, everyone in my uncle's family had left. Bai Wenhua and Lou Fengqin went to help out in the store. Lin Shuxing and Luo Zhengjun had also left. Bai Pingping and the other two also went to Ah Hao's house to play, so they left early.
Only Lin Shuyue and Hang Jiabai were at home.
The two of them were intimate in Lin Shuyue's room for a long time. When they came out of Lin Shuyue's room, Lin Shuyue's body was soft and her lips were red. Occasionally, she glanced at Hang Jiabai, and her eyes were like hooks, making Hang Jiabai's heart beat like a drum.
Hang Jiabai ran ten kilometers and never felt his heart beating so fast.
"Let's go." Lin Shuyue didn't drive over. The two took a taxi to Xijiang Apartment. Lin Shuyue drove and took Hang Jiabai to his house.
He did not live with his grandmother Liu Wushuang, but instead lived in a residential area not far from the Public Security Bureau.
The community is very old and there are some mold spots on the exterior walls due to wind and sun.
There was no parking lot in the community, so Lin Shuyue parked her car outside the community and walked into the community hand in hand with Hang Jiabai.
The community is not big, with the gate as the dividing line. There are two six-story buildings on each side. There are six units on each floor, and each unit has two households.
The room Hang Jiabai bought was 203 on the second floor of a three-unit building. He took out his key and opened the door. He was greeted by a scent of soap that was exactly the same as the scent on Hang Jiabai's body.
Lin Shuyue walked in and Hang Jiabai closed the door behind her.
"I bought this house with my salary when I just started working because the owner was in a hurry to sell it. So the price was not expensive, plus it was a lot of
It’s an old community, so the price is 80,000 yuan. ”
"In order to buy this house, I borrowed a lot of money from my colleagues. When I paid it back, I couldn't even afford to eat instant noodles in a bucket, let alone cigarettes."
The room has two bedrooms and a living room. The kitchen is directly opposite the door. To the left of the kitchen is the second bedroom, and to the right is the living room. The master bedroom and bathroom are both next to the living room.
The window in the living room was very large and closed. Hang Jiabai went to open the window, and a cold breeze blew in, blowing away the smell in the room.
Lin Shuyue was sitting on a brown leather chair in the living room. The off-white tiles on the floor were spotless.
"Isn't Teacher Liu your grandmother? Don't they give you money?"
Hang Jiabai placed an unopened bucket of water on the water dispenser in the living room, turned on the heating function, and then took out a bag of tea from the drawer of the TV cabinet.
“They gave me a house and land when I came of age, but I always feel that a house bought with my own money is different.”
Lin Shuyue agreed with this point.
The two of them stayed in the room for a while, and after drinking two cups of tea brewed by Hang Jiabai, Lin Shuyue and the other person went out.
Hang Jiabai will not report until tomorrow, so the two of them plan to go to the movies today.
There is a small shopping mall directly opposite this community, and there is a cinema on the fourth floor of the mall.
The two did not drive, but walked hand in hand. Just as they arrived at the entrance of the shopping mall, a girl of seven or eight years old blocked their way.
"Brother, your girlfriend is so pretty, how about buying her a flower? One dollar a flower, not expensive."
The two men looked down and saw that the little girl was wearing a red cotton coat that didn't fit her well. The sleeves were black and stiff, her pants had a hole in them, and the shoes she was wearing were obviously ill-fitting.
Her hair was messy and she was very thin, so her eyes looked particularly big. Because she was exposed to the wind and sun all year round, her face had varying degrees of redness and cracking.
Hang Jiabai took out his wallet, took out fifty yuan and handed it to the little girl, and said to her seriously: "Sell them all to me, no need to give me the change. Thank you for your compliment, I also think she is very beautiful, and your flowers are also very beautiful."
The little girl looked at the green fifty-dollar bill and smiled happily, blood immediately oozing out from the cracks on her lips.
She seemed not to feel the pain, and auspicious words came out one after another: "Thank you, big brother and big sister, I wish you a happy marriage and a son soon."
She took out all the flowers from the basket. There were ten red roses in total. The flower heads were wrapped in plastic bags and the stems were very thin. She carefully handed it to Hang Jiabai, then skipped away.
Hang Jiabai gave the flower to Lin Shuyue and said, "Let's go. Are you hungry?"
"Not hungry, just thirsty."
"Then let's go buy some water."
There are some snack shops at the front of the square. Every household has a refrigerator with some drinks. Lin Shuyue is drinking the Vitasoy bought by Hang Jiabai while waiting for him to pay.
Turning her head, she saw a little girl selling flowers standing in front of a short man in the corner of the square, and the basket that had just been empty was filled with flowers again.
The extra money that Hang Jiabai had just given was snatched away by the man. The little girl lowered her head, and the man tapped her head with his hand and walked away.
The little girl wiped her tears with her fingers, then struggled to pick up the flowers in the basket and continued to look for customers on the side of the road.
Some people would stop and listen to what she said, some would just ignore her, and some would even push her away with an impatient tone and walk away.
The little girl was used to being rejected. No matter how she was treated, her expression did not change and she continued to look for the next person.
Next to her was a stall selling grilled tofu. Today was not the weekend nor was it time to get off work, so there were not many customers.
Seeing that Hang Jiabai was holding flowers and looking at the girl selling flowers, she asked, "Pretty girls, are the flowers you bought from that girl?"
Lin Shuyue turned to look at her, but before she could say anything, the proprietress continued, "You are kind-hearted. But it would be better if you didn't buy it."
"The girl only sold 20 flowers a day. If she didn't sell them, she would be beaten and have no food to eat. But if she did, she would have to sell half as many flowers that day. If she didn't sell them, she would still be beaten."
"Poor thing." The lady boss secretly pointed at a disabled beggar who was kneeling on the ground and whispered, "See? He's also in the same group as the flower seller."
