Chapter 773 He accelerated, contrary to common sense
"sorry……"
Luo Qiang opened his mouth but closed his eyes tightly. Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. The sound that came out of his mouth was choked with sobs and hoarse, and he seemed to be in extreme sorrow.
His mother lay on the pillow and cried.
Bai Qingxia turned her head away, and the bitterness that had accumulated for many years surged in her heart, and tears began to flow.
Everyone in the ward was silent. Old Song knew about Bai Qingxia's family situation as early as high school. He sighed and habitually touched the cigarette box in his pocket, but when he thought about being in the ward, he had to let go.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”
Luo Qiang closed his eyes and kept repeating these three words.
The proprietress, lying on the edge of the bed, clutched her son's hand and burst into tears. Lu Yuanqiu came to their house that day, and considering that Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia were a couple, she expressed it very vaguely. But in fact, before the car accident, Luo Qiang often mentioned the name "Bai Qingxia" at home.
Whenever there was a class photo, he would excitedly point out to her which one was Bai Qingxia. She had known for a long time that Luo Qiang liked Bai Qingxia, and it was precisely because of this pure love in childhood that he found it difficult to let go of the guilt in his heart.
But even she, as a mother, could not have imagined that Luo Qiang would inflict this sin on her for so many years and even think of committing suicide to atone for his sins.
How can you be so stupid, silly child.
"I forgive you." Bai Qingxia wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and said to the person on the bed.
After hearing this, Luo Qiang cried even louder, tears streaming down his face. He lay there venting his emotions, his saliva, tears and snot all mixed together, looking completely utterly disgraceful. The proprietress wiped his tears with a tissue while crying, while Bai Qingxia trotted over to Lu Yuanqiu and hugged him with open arms.
Lu Yuanqiu also opened his arms and held her in his arms.
Luo Qiang may have felt relieved at this moment.
Bai Qingxia now has a new family who loves her.
"Hello, the patient has just been released from the intensive care unit. Don't get too excited." The nurse frowned and couldn't help but push the door of the ward open a crack from the outside.
Captain Li nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, no rush, let's go out and wait, big sister, you just stay here and watch."
He instructed Luo Qiang's mother.
Arriving at the hospital corridor, Lu Yuanqiu took Bai Qingxia to sit alone on a chair, comforting her emotions, while Captain Li was whispering something with Lao Song and others on the other side.
At this time, Lu Yuanqiu noticed someone approaching, turned his head, and saw Captain Li sitting next to them.
"I want to ask, little girl, have you ever made any enemies before?"
Bai Qingxia's expression changed slightly.
Li Hua continued, "I'm not entirely sure how the investigation was conducted, but I did survey the scene. Honestly, given the alley's conditions, it's impossible for a normal car to drive through it at a speed high enough to kill someone."
"This isn't a movie. Who would drive so fast in an alley filled with so much clutter and so dimly lit?"
"Either he was drunk, speeding, or committing murder... But how could a junior high school student make enemies? So I want to ask if your parents have..." Captain Li looked at Bai Qingxia.
Lu Yuanqiu pinched Bai Qingxia's arm. He was not sure whether Li Hua was reliable.
Li Hua noticed Lu Yuanqiu's little move and explained, "This case is very difficult to investigate because it took so long and we have so little information. So, you must tell me everything you know."
Old Song walked over to the side and said to Lu Yuanqiu, "Don't worry, Xiaoqiu. Trust Captain Li."
Lu Yuanqiu looked at him. Li Hua was not sure, but Old Song was definitely reliable.
"Yes, the current president of Baixi, Zhang Zhisheng, I don't know if he counts."
Captain Li: "What do you mean?"
Lu Yuanqiu told Li Hua about Bai Songzhe's identity, the formula that Bai Qingxia had, and other things, and explained the interests involved very clearly.
"Okay." Li Hua stood up and led Old Song aside.
The two of them talked in low voices.
"That doesn't make sense." Li Hua said bluntly.
Old Song: "You mean, if you want to force her father to give out the formula, you won't kill his son?"
"Yes, to be frank, crippling his son would have been better than killing him. The former would have truly put the father and daughter in a desperate situation, given their poverty. Killing him would have been meaningless, and it might have attracted the attention of the police, leading to trouble."
Li Hua frowned after he finished speaking and habitually wanted to take out a cigarette, but like Lao Song, he had to give up.
He added, "However, based on my years of experience in handling cases, Zhang Zhisheng definitely had a motive for committing the crime. This is most likely related to Bai Xi. The key now is to find the driver and gather a complete chain of evidence to convict him."
Old Song nodded and turned to look at the door of the ward: "It depends on what the kid still remembers."
Seeing the two people over there finish their conversation and disperse, Lu Yuanqiu walked over to Old Song and asked quietly, "Uncle Song, how is it?"
Old Song told him the results of their recent conversation and then said, "This is just a reasonable suspicion, it can't be regarded as the final conclusion. Don't act rashly."
"certainly."
In fact, Lu Yuanqiu knew that this was what Zhang Zhisheng did. Even if he did not mix in subjective judgment, Liu Chengye's indirect reminder could explain everything.
It’s a pity that Liu Chengye is unwilling to get involved in this matter, otherwise if he joins, it would really be like having divine help.
By the afternoon, Luo Qiang's emotions had finally calmed down a bit. He took the initiative to ask his mother to describe to the police what happened at the scene of the car accident.
Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia were not supposed to be present, but Old Song opened a back door, and Luo Qiang also requested that Bai Qingxia be present.
In the private ward, Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia stood far away. Luo Qiang glanced over there, breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to feel a little relieved.
Li Hua: "Luo Qiang, you can tell me what happened in detail as long as you remember."
Luo Qiang nodded.
"That year, after her brother left my house, I... I chased him out and wanted to apologize."
Bai Qingxia looked a little strange when she heard this. Apologize?
Luo Qiang: "He was walking very fast, in a hurry. I didn't see his back until I reached the intersection. When I followed him to the entrance of the alley, a car drove in from beside me."
Li Hua suddenly interrupted: "This car is the one that hit Bai Ruoan, right?"
Luo Qiang nodded.
"What was his speed when he drove into the alley?"
"Not fast."
This means that the car started accelerating after entering the alley, but a normal vehicle should slow down when driving from a wide and bright place into a narrow and dark place.
Instead, he accelerated, going against common sense.
This is almost equivalent to "intentional homicide".
Li Hua: "Continue."
Luo Qiang: "After I moved out of the way, the car turned a corner and disappeared. Then I heard a sudden braking sound and a crash."
Bai Qingxia lowered her head when she heard this, and Lu Yuanqiu hugged her tightly with one hand.
