Three months later, Mobei Intermediate People's Court.
There are still the last 30 minutes before the trial starts, but the trial court with nearly 400 auditorium seats is already full. Today, countless media people, police officers, victims’ families and auditors gathered here.
In order to be able to witness with my own eyes this most serious and most heinous serial murder case in Mobei City in recent years.
There were only 10 minutes left before the trial started, but Xu Tiannan ignored the urging of Murong Shui and others and still waited outside the court and refused to go in, as if he was waiting for someone.
After a long time, when the door of the trial court was about to close, Xiao Yanran finally arrived here with her daughter.
They walked very lightly and lowered their heads. No one knew that they were the wife and daughter of today's defendant, and no one noticed them.
The two of them arrived outside the trial court without saying a word, but Xiao Yanran finally stopped. Until now, she cannot make up her mind to enter this door.
She didn't want to see Chen Liangshan unshackled in prison at this moment, nor did she want to see the scene of today's trial.
However, Nannan is different. She seems to have grown up a lot in these three months. She no longer has the childishness she once had. At the same time, she is no longer the same person who always asked her mother how to do everything.
Little girl.
At this moment, Nannan saw Xiao Yanran's hesitation, so she held her mother's hand and led her little by little to a rest area nearby, comforting her: "Mom, if you don't want to go in, just wait for me here, okay?"
good?"
Xiao Yanran slowly raised her head, but it was as if she had lost her soul.
Until now, she didn't know how to face it, because on that day three months ago, a police officer named Meng stopped her taxi. When she learned that what Chen Liangshan had done was actually
When she was killed in order to set up a trap, her whole body collapsed at that moment.
Perhaps, there had long been a rift in the relationship between myself and the man I once loved most, but no one wanted to admit it.
Xiao Yanran gradually became more and more afraid of Chen Liangshan, but she never thought that after getting used to using violence to solve problems, he would eventually target her.
Therefore, Xiao Yanran never wanted to face or see that man again. She hoped that her memory could stay at the last moment, but these were not the reasons for her to stop her daughter from seeing her father.
So, Xiao Yanran let out a long sigh, buried her head again and said, "Nanny, go ahead and see your father. I'll just listen outside..."
Of course Nannan knew the pain her mother was suffering, so she hugged her mother gently, then stood up and walked towards the courtroom alone and strong.
But when Nannan walked to the door, she happened to meet Xu Tiannan, and their eyes met at that moment.
After Nannan experienced three months of recovery, she had already accepted all of this calmly. At this time, she could even look at each other calmly with Xu Tiannan, and her eyes no longer had the original hatred and blame.
In the past few months, Xu Tiannan had rehearsed this scene countless times, and even came up with dozens of ways to explain to Nannan, "I captured your father."
But when this moment came, Xu Tiannan's brain suddenly became like a ball of paste, his mouth suddenly became clumsy for some reason, and his whole body felt as uncomfortable as if it was crawling with ants. He hesitated for a long time, but he still couldn't speak a word.
No words can come out.
But what is supposed to come will always come. Xu Tiannan finally squatted down slowly, met Nannan's eyes and whispered: "Nanny, all this time, uncle has never had time to say sorry to you. After all, between me and your father...
...There are still differences. He has people he wants to protect, and I...I also have my responsibilities."
On the other hand, Nannan's reaction at this time was surprisingly calm. She was not in a hurry to answer, but suddenly looked at the back of Xu Tiannan's neck.
In the explosion that day, Xu Tiannan suffered extensive burns on his back. The scars were almost all over the back of his body and extended to his neck.
Even if he puts on clothes at this time, a small scar will still be exposed on his collar.
Nannan stepped forward, as if she was afraid of hurting the other person, and gently put her hand on Xu Tiannan's neck, and asked: "Uncle, are the injuries here caused when you rescued me that day?"
"No, this injury, well..."
Xu Tiannan originally wanted to use the usual tricks to deceive children, telling the other party that this was a scar caused by his parents who didn't study hard when he was a child. But then he thought about it, and even Murong Shui might not believe this level of deception, so
After stumbling for a while, he finally nodded and admitted, "Well, I got burned a little that day. It's okay."
But who would have thought that as soon as Xu Tiannan finished speaking, Nannan took the initiative to step forward and hug him. The other person's little hands trembled, carefully stroking the large, rugged and scary scar, and whispered: "Thank you, uncle... thank you.
You saved me."
Faced with Nannan's sensible response, Xu Tiannan suddenly lost control. His head seemed to be short-circuited, and he hesitated: "But...but your father..."
"No, uncle."
Nannan shook her head and explained again: "I did hate you at the beginning, and I hated you for catching my dad, but later... I figured it out, no matter what happened between you and my dad, it can't change you. Save
I learned the truth, and..."
When Nannan said this, sparkling tears flashed from the corners of her eyes.
"Now I finally know why my father told me that if one day he is gone, you will be the only one in the world who will be kind to me except my mother."
"Really?"
This sentence was like redemption for Xu Tiannan. He looked at Nannan in disbelief and asked again: "Did your father really... say that?"
Nannan finally smiled and nodded vigorously, "Well, really, dad really said that!"
Xu Tiannan could no longer suppress his emotions. He hugged his daughter tightly into his arms, and at this time, the two of them kept repeating their words to each other.
"Nanny, I'm sorry..."
"Uncle, thank you..."
