Chapter 24 The Truth

"Selling sugar cakes! Delicious sugar cakes!" A limping man was pushing a cart on the street.

A servant girl tugged at the boy beside her, and said softly, "The sugar cakes at that house are sweet and glutinous, so delicious."

"Then why don't you buy it?" the boy asked.

The servant girl looked at the gorgeous cheongsam in front of her, which vividly outlined the woman's figure, "Why don't you go shopping with Madam."

Jiang Xiaofeng was also a little greedy because of the smell of the sugar cake, so he walked over, "Give me some of your sugar cake."

The lame man wiped the sweat off his face, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry madam, please wait a moment, I'll finish the pancake I have, and I'll make it for you right away."

The man looked up and saw Jiang Xiaofeng's exquisite face. The face that was originally full of smiles suddenly darkened, mixed with sullenness. Without saying a word, he pursed his lips, lifted the cart and wanted to leave .

Jiang Xiaofeng was also taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Why don't you even say hello when you see someone you know? Boss Qian."

"Heh, what's there to say, you are my wife now, and I'm just a lame poor man who sells sugar cakes." Qian Yi put down the board and said through gritted teeth, "I can't afford it!"

Jiang Xiaofeng stepped on the ground with his heels, stepped forward step by step and said: "Now that you know that you can't climb high, then stay away from me when you see me in the future."

"Don't forget that you scolded me at the beginning. In fact, you are not the same as me. After liking someone for so many years, she died and tried to find out who killed her." hair, said.

"But what did you get in the end? Who is cheaper than the other! Wouldn't it be good to be your salt boss? Why are you meddling in my business! Spoiling my business!"

Jiang Xiaofeng leaned into Qian Yi's ear and said, "If I see you on this street again, be careful of your other leg!"

After thinking for a while, Jiang Xiaofeng said: "Oh~ By the way, I forgot that you seem to have an old mother in your hometown, right?"

"You dare to touch my mother, I'll strangle you to death!" Qian Yi's eyes were red with anger, and he looked at Jiang Xiaofeng ferociously, that look seemed to kill the woman in front of him.

Jiang Xiaofeng ticked off lightly, and said: "As long as you are obedient, I will not touch you and your mother." After speaking, she turned around and left.

Qian Yi looked at Jiang Xiaofeng's back and punched the wooden cart hard.

A tired woman sat in front of a wooden door, constantly looking at the door that had been locked.

The door full of hope in the woman's eyes finally opened. A woman with her hair tied up in a bun looked a little young but said in a hoarse voice, "Come in!"

Chen Yimin's mother finally heard what she had been waiting for for nearly three days, and hurriedly got up and followed in.

The woman with her hair in a bun walked in, sat on a stone bench in the yard, and poured a cup of tea for Chen Yimin's mother.

"Thank you."

The two were silent for a while, and the woman with her hair in a bun said: "My child is different from other children when she is born. She didn't learn to walk until she was three years old, and she learned to talk when she was five years old. Now she is eight years old. I and her Father doesn't ask for anything, but only asks her to live happily for the rest of her life."

"But do you know? After she went to play by the river that day, she kept screaming when she came back. She screamed whatever I said, and kept repeating the murderer in her mouth." The voice of the woman speaking All trembling.

"I really don't want to know what happened. As long as she doesn't see you now, she will be the same as before. As long as she doesn't remember what happened that day, she will be the same as before." The woman knelt down as she spoke, her tone full of Pleading, "So I beg you, don't come again, really don't remind her again. It's really cruel to her."

Chen Yimin's mother's eyes were full of disappointment. She understood the mother's psychology, so why not herself?

Her tone was a little weak, as if she was whispering, "I just want to change my son out, he is still so young, he can't stay in prison for the rest of his life."

Chen Yimin stood up and bowed heavily to the woman kneeling in front of him, "I'm sorry." Then he turned and left.

The woman kneeling on the ground looked at the woman who had gone away and covered her face and wept.

That figure is lonely and helpless, the helplessness of a mother who cannot save her child. . .

Zhang San knocked on the door, held a few pieces of paper in his hand and said, "Master, this is all the funds transactions under He Rensheng Casino."

Zhong Chengyi looked at the above amount, and found that since three years ago, there were always a few months that were blank, with no expenditure amount and no income amount.

Zhong Chengyi frowned, and said to Zhang San: "Can I find out the amount of transactions in the past few months?"

Zhang San said with some embarrassment: "Master, these amounts are He Rensheng's transactions with Chengtian Bank, but the amount of these blank months is really impossible to find out, probably only He Rensheng himself knows."

"But any student..."

Although He Rensheng was just a businessman in Shanghai, he was still a respectable person. If he was really involved in the smuggling of opium, he still had to have accurate evidence.

But in Zhong Chengyi's heart, this matter must have something to do with He Rensheng, it's just a matter of time, that old fox will show his fox tail one day.

And that Miao merchant, what role does he play in this matter?

. . .

After dinner, Lin Xinshu and Zhong Chengyi took a walk along the street. A spotted kitten kept circling Lin Xinshu's feet, making Lin Xinshu stumble when he walked.

Lin Xinshu knelt down helplessly and stroked the soft fur of the kitten, and the kitten obediently rubbed the back of Lin Xinshu's hand with the tip of its nose.

Lin Xinshu lightly tapped the kitten's wet nose, and said in a doting tone, "Monster, didn't you just finish eating? What's wrong? Are you hungry again?"

Zhong Chengyi lowered his head and looked at Lin Xinshu with a smile.

A monster?the name. . .

. . . .

"Brother Ayi, what do you think we should call this kitten?" The little boy asked, gently stroking the kitten's fur.

Another boy with a cropped head thought for a while and said, "How about calling me a monster?"

"A monster?" The little boy tasted these two words lightly, then looked at the piebald kitten, smiled and said to the boy beside him, "Okay, let's call it a monster."

"Guai, do you like this name? Brother Ayi gave you this name." The little boy scratched the kitten's chin with his fingertips and asked.

The kitten narrowed its eyes comfortably, made a "purring" sound in its throat, and happily "meowed".

The little boy was pleasantly surprised to hear the kitten respond to him, "Brother Ayi, it likes this name."

The boy on the side smiled and said: "It's good that it likes it, and we will take good care of it in the future. As long as I have a mouthful of food, there will be a mouthful of food for Ah Guai!"

"it is good!"

. . . . .

Zhong Chengyi came back to his senses, looked at Lin Xinshu, and shouted out of nowhere, "Xiaoshu."

Lin Xinshu also followed the trend and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhong Chengyi knelt down and said, "How did this kitten get here?"

"This one, in fact, it was originally a stray cat. It was raining heavily that day."

"I originally wanted to move the flowers in the yard into the house, but I happened to see it wandering around the door of my house. I was already hungry and suffocated, and it was very thin, so I fed it some food.

"Over time, it got used to looking for me in the yard, and I got used to leaving a door for it, so that it would have a place to hide when it rained." Lin Xinshu's words were full of tenderness, but it seemed to be in a gentle tone You can taste some loneliness.

Zhong Chengyi looked at Lin Xinshu's delicate eyebrows and eyes, to the tip of his nose, and then to that soft-looking lips, his eyes were burning and distant.

Zhong Chengyi knew that the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance he smelled at the beginning pulled his heart, he couldn't escape, he couldn't escape, he was willing to fall into it, unable to extricate himself.

Lin Xinshu stood up and said, "It's getting late, let's go back."

"it is good."

The Patrol Station was always very busy these days, and the busy letters coming and going at the door and some trivial matters made Zhang San very headache.

"Third brother, there is a woman with a child at the door." A small patrolman knocked on the door and said.

Zhang San took down the newspaper covering his face, and said impatiently: "What's the matter? Could it be that the man in the family went to the Zuixiangyuan again? How many times have I said this? We don't care about this kind of thing." ! Are we busy every day?"

The little patrolman scratched his head and said, "Her man is here too..."

"So what's the matter?" Zhang San put down Erlang's legs that were on the table and walked out the door.

Seeing Zhang San coming out, the woman stepped forward and said, "I brought my child here as a witness in Chen Yimin's case."

Zhang San looked at the woman with deep eyes.

It was really hit by the general, God!

Zhang San nodded and said, "Come in."

The woman took her child's hand, knelt down and comforted her and said, "Ah Zhi, wait a minute and tell that uncle in police uniform what you told your mother yesterday, okay?"

The little girl blew on the windmill in her hand, turned her head and smiled at the woman and said, "Okay, mother, I'm done talking, can you buy me candied haws?"

The woman smiled at the girl and said, "Okay, mother will not only buy candied haws for you, but also take you to eat other things."

The girl's eyes were full of smiles, she walked into the interrogation room holding her mother's hand, and said, "Then I still want to eat steamed buns, dried tofu and a lot of sugar."

"it is good."

In the interrogation room, the little girl sat on the woman's lap, looked at the serious Zhang San in police uniform, pulled the woman's clothes and said, "Mother, he is so scary."

The woman stroked the girl's back and said, "Azhi, don't be afraid, mother is here."

Zhang San coughed in embarrassment, and put on a kind smile on his face. In fact, no matter what expression a bearded man made, he was not so kind.

Zhang San asked: "Little girl, tell uncle what you saw that day?"

The little girl seemed to be remembering, her fingers were tightly clutching the woman's clothes, but she still spoke out under the comfort of the woman, "I went to the river to play that day, and saw an aunt washing clothes, and a brother washing clothes. Next to it, a man came over after a while."

"He looks so scary, his face is so yellow, his eyes are big, it feels like the eyeballs inside are about to fall out, and his body is very thin, very thin." The little girl worried that Zhang San would not understand and gestured with her hand.

"Then the woman and the man got into an argument."

"What are they arguing about?" Zhang San asked.

The little girl shook her head and said, "I don't know, I was standing a little far away, I couldn't hear clearly, and I was very, very scared, that man made me feel so scared, I wanted to go home, but I didn't expect that I stepped on it when I left. Branches on the ground."

"Then that man rushed over and wanted to grab me. I was so scared and wanted to run, but my legs were so frightened that I couldn't stand up at all. I kept crying and crying."

The little girl's mood was a little unstable, and the woman beside her kept comforting her and said, "Mother is here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

After calming down for a while, the little girl continued: "Later, that brother ran over and grabbed my hand, pulled me up, told me to run quickly, and then I ran as hard as I could, running as hard as I could."

"After running far, far away, I found that the safety knot my mother gave me was gone. I wanted to go back and look for it, but I was afraid. I hesitated for a long time before deciding to go back. Unexpectedly, I saw that brother sitting On the ground, the woman stands by the lake and looks at the lake."

"The woman turned around and hugged her brother, patting him on the back. I waited for a long time for the two people to leave. Then I walked over and saw the terrible man lying in the river just now, surrounded by blood. blood, I was so scared, I ran back quickly." The little girl's tears fell down in big drops, "Mother has a lot of blood, a lot of blood."

The woman comforted the little girl distressedly, her voice was a little choked, and she forcefully forced back her tears, only repeating, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, mother is here."

Zhang San frowned, took out a photo from his pocket, pointed to the woman on it and asked, "Is that her?"

The little girl turned her head to look at the woman in the photo, and her originally unstable emotions immediately burst out, but this time she didn't scream, but kept crying and nodded.

"Then how do you say she is a murderer?" Zhang San asked doubtfully.

The little girl's crying stopped abruptly, and only the woman's comforting voice remained in the quiet interrogation room.

After a long time, the little girl lowered her head and replied. "Because her expression and eyes at that time were like those of the dead man, it made me afraid, afraid."
