But she suddenly laughed, "Okay, okay! What you said is as if a party member is criticizing himself at a meeting. Haha! We won't talk about this anymore. But I hope you will be more aware of the things around you in the future.
Think about it, this may be more helpful to you."
I said: "Yes, I will definitely do that."
She said: "We recently cracked a case. We arrested a criminal suspect for more than half a year after he escaped, but we couldn't find him. Feng Xiao, do you know where we caught him later?"
I don't understand why she suddenly mentioned this matter, "Where?"
"It's right opposite one of our police stations. This man actually put on makeup and set up a cigarette stall there. If it hadn't rained heavily that day and caused flaws in the makeup on his face, we might not have caught him until now.
Here he is," she said.
I couldn't help being surprised, "Isn't this person too courageous?"
She smiled and said: "Of course he is bold, and he is also very smart. Do you know what this is called? It's called 'darkness under the light'! Because each of us has such a misunderstanding in thinking, that is, we often don't
Pay attention to the things around you, even when a person feels that something around him is abnormal, he always ignores it, and may even find some reasons to explain the abnormality. "
I suddenly became panicked: Could she be hinting at me about Liu Meng? So I hurriedly said: "That makes sense."
She looked at me and sighed, "Feng Xiao, I have other things to do. I hope you can have fun for a while after going abroad. Maybe in such an environment, you can better understand some things."
"
After she left, I still had her worried look in my mind. Her look worried me for a long time, but then I felt relieved: Didn't she already say it? The case has been closed, so to speak.
It doesn't have anything to do with me anymore.
In fact, I have been thinking about this matter recently. To be precise, although the case is somewhat related to me, I have not been involved in the crime. Tong Yao just said it right. I have never had the idea of committing a crime.
Let alone do such a thing.
But in my heart I have always felt a deep guilt for Liu Meng, and now, I have transferred that guilt towards her to her parents. However, I cannot find them. Several times tonight I
I was going to tell Tong Yao to ask her to give me the home address of Liu Meng’s parents, but every time the words came to my lips, I swallowed them back forcefully.
One thing I have to firmly believe: Yu Min will never give that money to Liu Meng’s parents. Because she told me this very clearly last time. From this, I have a feeling for this woman.
Deep disgust.
And Tang Zi actually had the same idea as Yu Min. Of course, I think I can understand Tang Zi to a certain extent. After all, it was Liu Meng's man who blackmailed her uncle that caused such consequences, so she hated Liu Meng for this.
That makes sense.
Yu Min and Liu Meng used to be such good friends, but because of money, she still hated Liu Meng even after her death. I really don't understand, is money so important to Yu Min?
I felt that I should find Liu Meng's parents as soon as possible, maybe only in this way can the uneasiness in my heart be truly released. So, although I kept telling myself not to go to Tong Yao, I couldn't hold back my feelings in the end.
Impulsively, I finally sent her a text message: I want to visit Liu Meng’s parents. Can you tell me their address?
This text message was sent before I went to bed, and I immediately regretted it after sending it. Because I really didn’t know what kind of thoughts and reactions Tong Yao had after reading my text message. Feeling uneasy, I turned off the message.
Got the phone call.
However, when I woke up the next morning and turned on the phone, I found that she had already texted me a reply. The time was last night, an hour after I sent the text message. Her reply was an address.
There is also a landline number. Other than that, there is nothing else.
I can only understand her reply as her acquiescence to my action. Therefore, I no longer reply to her text messages, because the words of thanks are already in my heart. I believe she will know it too.
After finishing my daily routine work, I took out the money from the drawer that my colleagues in the department had collected, and then drove to the bank to apply for a card. After thinking about it, I deposited some more money into it and made up ten dollars.
Then I drove to the place Tong Yao gave me.
This is a newly built community. I guess it was the house that Liu Meng bought for her parents before she was alive.
After finding the house number, I knocked on the door. At this moment, I felt very uneasy in my heart, and suddenly I had the urge to turn around and run away: What will I say about this when I see them later?
The door opened. An old lady who was close to sixty years old appeared at the door. There was a vague shadow of Liu Meng on her face. "Who are you looking for?" she asked me, her face full of doubts.
I asked: "Excuse me, are you Liu Meng's mother?"
She suddenly became alert, "Who are you? What are you looking for me for?"
I hurriedly said: "I am Liu Meng's classmate. I just came back from abroad. I only found out about her from other classmates. I went to the place where you lived before and couldn't find you. Your neighbor said that you had moved. This
No? I just went to the police station and found your current address. I made a special trip to see you and Liu Meng's father to see if I could help you with anything."
The old lady's face softened, and she immediately shed tears, "Come in and sit down. What's your name?"
I said nonsense: "My name is Ma Tian."
"Xiao Ma, why haven't I heard Liu Meng talk about you before?" the old lady asked while going to make tea for me.
I said: "I was her classmate in college. After graduating from graduate school, I went to study abroad. Auntie, please stop making me tea. I will leave in a moment. I have other things to do."
The old lady said: "Liu Meng's father has gone shopping for groceries. Just wait for him. He will be very happy if he knows that Liu Meng and his classmates are coming to see us."
I hurriedly said: "Auntie, I have to go to the airport to take a flight right away. I just came to see you. It's like this. I borrowed some money from Liu Meng when I went abroad, and I came back to pay her back this time. But I didn't expect it.
I am really sad that something like this happened to her. Auntie, I also hope you can express your condolences. I will visit you often if I have time in the future."
In fact, I have been talking incoherently. Maybe the old lady thought I was acting like this because I was feeling uncomfortable? So she was not suspicious. But I really didn’t want to sit here anymore because I had a deep feeling for her in my heart.
I felt guilty and had a huge psychological pressure because of it. So I quickly took out the card from my body and said, "Auntie, this is the money I borrowed from Liu Meng. The password is five zeros. I have to
Let's go, I will come to visit you two old people when I have time in the future."
"This... Liu Meng has never told us about this matter." The old lady said.
I smiled and said: "I borrowed this from her. If she hadn't helped me at that time, how could I be where I am today? So I have always been grateful to her in my heart. Auntie, I'm leaving."
After saying that, I immediately walked towards her door. I wanted to escape immediately.
"There are still good people in this world. They still have to pay back the money even after they die." The old lady sighed.
Feeling even more ashamed, I said goodbye to her again and left quickly.
When I was waiting for the elevator to arrive, my heart was still pounding. I found that I felt even more uneasy now.
The elevator door opened, and an old man walked out of it. He had white hair and was wearing a black bloated down jacket. The shadow of Liu Meng was very obvious on his face. He was holding a vegetable basket in his hand.
It was all green. When he got off the elevator, he glanced at me and then walked inside. I stepped into the elevator in one step, and only after entering did I find that the elevator was still going up.
At this moment, my tears began to fall uncontrollably.
Zeng Yufang called me and told me that the air tickets had been booked and we would leave in three days.
"Feng Chu, let me treat you to a meal tonight. By the way, we can discuss the specific itinerary." Then she said to me.
"Okay. Let me treat you. You have worked hard during this time." I said, this is a sincere statement. And I myself feel that the disgust towards her is very unfair to her, and I think that we have to be together after all.
When we go abroad, we have to stay together for such a long time even on the plane, so it is even more necessary to try to get used to seeing her. Besides, I also thought of the idea Kang Demao had for me that day.
Although until now I still haven't really considered doing what Kang Demao said, but I think it is still a method that is not a solution, at least it can be used as a last resort.
But what I didn't expect was that less than half an hour after this call, I suddenly received another call, from Chang Bailing, "Feng Xiao, I want to see you tonight."
I didn't expect her to call me, and she was using a landline. She probably knew that if she called me from a mobile phone, I would probably hang up immediately. Of course I could hear her voice.
, but I felt particularly sick in my heart, and I felt that this woman didn’t feel good about herself. Didn’t you once say that you would no longer have contact with me? Could it be that I am someone who comes and goes as soon as you call her?
?
"Who are you?" I asked calmly, trying my best to resist the urge to hang up her phone immediately.
"I'm Chang Bailing. Have you forgotten me?" she said with a smile on the phone.
"Did you dial the wrong number? I don't know this person." I said and hung up the phone immediately. (To be continued)
