Chapter 68: A clear conscience

 "Comrade Li Xuewu, please come and sit down."

Li Xuewu nodded, walked to the desk and sat next to Liu Guoyou.

At this time, it is best to be cautious in your words and deeds. The less words you say, the better. If you can't say anything, don't say it.

The cadre in Chinese tunic uniform glanced at Li Xuewu and tapped the notebook on the table with the pen in his hand. ??

"Comrade Li Xuewu, I work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. My surname is Zhou. This is Director Liu. We now have some information that we need to know from you. Please answer our questions truthfully."

"yes"

"Were you involved in the accident that happened to the train you were escorting the night before yesterday?"

Li Xuewu saw everyone in the room looking at him, as if they were waiting for his answer.

"Yes, I'm here"

"Did you find any identifying characteristics of the deceased when you looked under the train?"

"No, it's dark, there's only one flashlight, and"

The cadres knew what Li Xuewu meant, and the deceased's head had been crushed.

Director Liu asked, "We know your resume. Based on your experience in the reconnaissance camp, why did the deceased hit the train?"

Li Xuewu carefully recalled the scene at that time and replied, "The time was urgent at the time. I didn't check the scene carefully. I thought it was just an accident, but judging from the state of the deceased under the car,"

At this point, Li Xuewu carefully recalled the man's body posture and stopped talking.

Director Liu and Cadre Zhou both stared into Li Xuewu's eyes, as if a wrong word would cause a panic.

Even Liu Guoyou, who was sitting next to him, looked at Li Xuewu with pale faces.

Li Xuewu squinted his eyes and recalled, but was not affected by them. After checking again, he said with certainty, "I think it was an accident. The deceased was lying between the two railway tracks, protecting the child in his arms.

There are no traces of restraint on the body, and there is no forced passive death.”

"Let me just say, our car was added temporarily, and the time is uncertain. The villagers don't know if there is a car passing by." Li Xuewu heard

If so, Liu Guoyou confirmed excitedly by slapping his thigh.

Cadre Zhou and others breathed a sigh of relief and glanced towards the sofa.

Li Xuewu continued, "On the other hand, the woman seemed to have been tied up by a sling. There were no injuries on her body, only a hole in her head from a stone on the roadbed."

Liu Guoyou and Han Dache both nodded in agreement.

Cadre Zhou nodded to Li Xuewu and asked, "Can you see any conflict or contradiction between the two of them?"

Li Xuewu smiled bitterly and replied, "I am in the reconnaissance battalion, not the investigation team. I have never done any criminal investigation. I really can't tell. I can't talk nonsense about things I can't be sure of. But what I can be sure of is that the train got off the train."

The man loves children very much, and so does that woman.”

Cadre Zhou and Director Liu looked at each other and nodded.

Director Liu asked, "How did you find the child?"

"Habit"

"Habit?"

"Yes, it is a habit developed on the battlefield. Every time, you have to check whether your comrades lying on the ground still have vital signs."

Director Liu who asked the question and Cadre Zhou who was sitting next to him did not expect that the young guard in front of them would answer like this, and they couldn't help but feel solemn in their hearts.

Director Liu paused and asked again, "Have you seen the child's appearance and physical signs clearly?"

Li Xuewu was stunned for a moment. He didn’t know why Director Liu asked that, but he still replied matter-of-factly: “There wasn’t one at the time. The attendant discovered it when I was handing over to the attendant at the station. Chief Liu also said that it might be the child of a brother from a minority ethnic group.

"

Hearing Li Xuewu's words, Liu Guoyou grinned awkwardly.

Cadre Zhou looked at Liu Guoyou and continued to ask Li Xuewudao, "Did you take the child out? Did you find anything?"

Li Xuewu looked at Cadre Zhou who asked the question in confusion and said

"It was me. I didn't find anything. I just took the child out of the deceased's hands. Captain Liu and others were also there at the time."

The cadre narrowed his eyes and glanced at Liu Guoyou and Han Dache while looking at Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu guessed that it might be the hand of the deceased holding the child. Liu Guoyou and Liu Guoyou talked about it, but Li Xuewu couldn't admit it. He couldn't talk about such strange things at this time.

"Did you see Comrade Liu Guoyou when he was dealing with the deceased on the roadside?"

"Saw"

"Can you tell me a little bit?"

Li Xuewu did not look at Liu Guoyou and told the truth about Liu Guoyou's actions, but did not tell what Liu Guoyou said in the car.

After hearing Li Xuewu finish speaking, Liu Guoyou was obviously relieved.

Li Xuewu certainly knows what can and cannot be said.

Cadre Zhou nodded, glanced at the bedroom, and asked, "Why did you put a note and money in the child's package in the station duty room?"

Li Xuewu was silent for a moment before replying, "I took the child out from under the car, and the child didn't cry. He looked sweet when I was coaxing him. It reminded me of my younger siblings when they were young. I was

I intuitively judged that the child’s parents might be gone, and I was afraid that there might be something wrong with the child, so I put the note and money away.”

The two people who asked the questions were noncommittal about Li Xuewu's answers and the emotions behind his words.

"When did you put the note and money?"

“At the time of handover at the station”

"After discovering the child's characteristics?"

"Yes, but the note was written in the car."

The officer was silent for a moment and asked solemnly, "Are you sure you didn't know the nationality of the person under the car when you were handling the accident?"

"I never thought about the nationality issue when I rescued people, let alone the deceased. The deceased is the most important, so I will help if I can."

"Where is the child?

Have you never thought that you were a special child who did that?"

Li Xuewu turned his head silently and stared at the foreigner who suddenly interrupted and asked him something. This man's Chinese was a little off-tone.

The foreign affairs officer, who was wearing a suit and tie with an inquiring expression on his face, was not afraid of Li Xuewu's gaze and looked straight at Li Xuewu with his blue eyes blinking.

"I have a clear conscience"

The two foreign affairs officers who looked at Li Xuewu did not expect that Li Xuewu would say this.

Cadre Zhou nodded and asked to Director Liu, the foreign diplomat on the sofa and the two couples beside him, "The last on-site person in charge has already told how he handled the matter. His character is what he has endured."

He has passed the test and we believe what he said. Do you have anything else to ask?"

The foreigners on the sofa looked at each other and were all silent.

The middle-aged man opposite frowned and said hoarsely, "There's nothing to ask. All those who shouldn't have been saved have been saved, and those who should have been saved are gone. What else is there to say?"

"We know who this is? We only know that my sister is gone, what does that man Mao have to do with our family? Besides, my sister is like that, will these two big brothers compensate her?" sat next to her.

The young man standing there raised his neck and asked.

This family is really strange. The young woman has a cold face. Only when the young man mentioned compensation did he look at the foreign affairs officer and Zhou cadres sitting on the sofa.

The woman wearing a square scarf just wiped her tears and cried, but the look she looked at Li Xuewu was complicated, thank you? Or something else.

Li Xuewu didn't know the identities of these people, but he had nothing to say about saving the child. Should he let that little life freeze on the railway tracks?

Although I was confused and depressed, it was difficult to say anything at this time, so I could only frown and remain silent.

Officer Liang, who brought Li Xuewu in, then took Li Xuewu and Liu Guoyou out of the house at the instruction of Officer Zhou to the room opposite.
