The old lady took her last breath.
She also had only one last wish.
Lu Chenxi hugged her and nodded vigorously, "No, he is not a thief. Those bad guys are just talking nonsense. They are wrongly accusing Yangyang."
"I knew it... I knew it, my Yangyang is the best..."
After he finished speaking, he held Lu Chenxi's hand tightly, and then let it fall down weakly.
Lu Chenxi couldn't hold back any longer, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Grandma Guo..."
The person guarding the door heard the noise inside and turned around and walked in.
Seeing Lu Chenxi kneeling in a pool of blood, holding the slowly cooling corpse, they couldn't help but sigh.
"Comrade Lu..."
"Have you called 120?"
Lu Chenxi asked with a confused look.
"Yes."
"Oh, yes, thank you."
She answered softly, and slowly put Grandma Guo down from her arms, letting her lie flat on the ground.
She took out her cell phone and called Liu Bin.
"Xiao Lu..."
"Captain Liu, where are your men? I understand why Guo Yang was allowed to walk out last night, claiming it was an accident. But what about today? Where are the people protecting the Guo family today? They watched helplessly as criminals broke into their home and killed people. Where are your men?"
"Xiao Lu, listen to me..."
"Don't say anything more. Nothing more can save their lives."
Lu Chenxi interrupted Liu Bin in a cold tone, "It's my fault. If I hadn't brought Guo Yang to see you last night, maybe the grandfather and grandson would still be fine. It's all my fault. It's my fault."
"Xiao Lu..."
Liu Bin wanted to say something, but Lu Chenxi hung up the phone.
Not long after, Zhao Gang came over with his men.
Looking at Lu Chenxi sitting in the corridor, covered in blood, he asked the rest of his colleagues to do their work and walked forward himself.
"Captain Zhao."
Lu Chenxi looked into the distance and said in a faint voice, "Do you think I did something wrong?"
If she pretended not to notice the powder Guo Yang brought and did not take him to the police station to find Liu Bin, would things be completely different?
"Xiao Lu."
Zhao Gang is in his forties and almost fifty. Having worked in criminal investigation for his entire life, he knows that Lu Chenxi is unable to get over the hurdle in her heart.
He sighed and squatted in front of her, "It's not your fault."
"Any citizen who discovers the powder has an obligation to call the police. You are simply fulfilling your civic duty."
"As for what happened to Guo Yang and Grandma Guo, that was a lapse in our internal management. We cannot deny your correct actions just because of the mistakes in internal management."
They take their time to find and fill in the gaps in their work.
Now I am trying to improve little by little and change those things that are wrong.
If anyone encounters a situation like theirs in the future, there is no need to repeat their mistakes.
After Zhao Gang finished speaking, he extended his hand towards Lu Chenxi.
"Stand up, there is work that needs you."
Lu Chenxi looked at the hand in front of her, and at Zhao Gang in the backlight, and she slowly stretched out her hand.
Zhao Gang pulled the man up.
The new and old generations of people in the bureau seemed to have completed a kind of handover and relay at this moment.
Lu Chenxi entered the house again.
She had collected herself and become professional.
Cooperated with the brothers from the criminal investigation team to search the house.
Nothing suspicious was found.
Comrades from the funeral home came over and carried the old lady's body downstairs.
The criminal investigation team was also preparing to call it a day.
Lu Chenxi was the last one to walk.
She closed the windows of the old lady and Guo Yang's room. This room would never wait for its owners...
The moment Lu Chenxi closed the door, she caught a glimpse of a glowing bottle at the foot of Guo Yang's bed.
That was the sunlight falling on the bottle, and the light reflected by the five-pointed star in the bottle.
She thought of the five-pointed star that Guo Yang held in his palm until his death.
Lu Chenxi walked forward doubtfully.
Is there something wrong with this star?
She picked up the bottle and poured the pentagram inside onto the table.
Among this pile of five-pointed stars, she saw a five-pointed star that was a little different.
Lu Chenxi slowly picked up the star, his hands trembling slightly as he opened the five-pointed star.
A small memory card, stored in the Pentagram...
For a moment, Lu Chenxi couldn't hold back her tears again.
Grandma Guo once told her that Guo Yang liked five-pointed stars, and the five-pointed stars he made were very beautiful.
Because she told her grandson that as long as he filled the bottle with little stars, his mother would come back to see him.
Guo Yang didn't know that he was abandoned, nor did he know that the bottle beside his bed would never be full.
Even if he folded a five-pointed star and put it in the bottle every day, the old lady would secretly take out some when the bottle was almost full...
This cycle repeated itself over and over again, and Guo Yang never doubted it.
He still stacks stars day after day, hoping that his mother will come back to see him soon...
He may never know that his wish will never come true.
Lu Chenxi looked at the memory card in his hand with a slightly serious expression.
Was this star folded by Guo Yang yesterday?
How did he know to hide the memory card in there?
Lu Chenxi had a lot of questions, but the specific ones would have to wait until the contents of the memory card were read out.
She packed up her things and quickly left the Guo family.
Lu Chenxi brought his four "cousins" back to the bureau.
