"I said you are really good at making things happen. You let a high school student lead the investigation." Shao Zi, who had just returned, had a headache. "That's what you did. How do you want me to go on?"
The air conditioner in the office was turned on very low, but it was early in the morning, when the Yang energy was at its strongest, so a group of young and energetic young men didn't have much objection.
Liang An took a sip of coffee and said calmly: "I think there is nothing wrong with it. When I was young, if adults could take my words more seriously, maybe they would have less trouble. I have been wasting my efforts on their behalf. I feel deeply regretful and still do.”
The information in Shao Zi's hands and the messages that Lu Yao sent in real time in the group chat, which are still being updated up to now, sighed.
"It's not a matter of feasibility. You either don't leave the task of writing the report to me...forget it." Shao Zi looked around, "Is Jiang Qiu here?"
"Don't look, I'm not here. You actually asked about him?" Liang Anqi asked, "Why didn't I know when you became interested in him?"
Shao Zi was helpless: "I've always been curious about why you had to drag him into the water. Just because I don't ask doesn't mean I don't want to know."
"That's good, I suggest you keep it up." Liang An gave him a thumbs up.
Shao Zi finally knew that he couldn't get any information out of Liang's mouth, so he gave up simply, but he still said angrily: "Then you should explain, when did you know that Song Qiaoyu is Captain Song's son?" I know. Don't tell me that you brought him here because of this."
"I thought you guys would understand after seeing that guy's monster-like fighting power." Liang An shrugged, "Isn't it your fault? None of you can use your imagination. I'm very disappointed in you. In this world How many bloodlines can be so awesome? Besides, there's that face... maybe it's a bit similar, right?" He opened his mouth to say the last sentence, but he felt guilty halfway through.
Shao Zi waved his hand, feeling that his blood pressure would rise by 20 to 30% if he continued to press the question.
Not worth it, really not worth it.
"I've also been asked out. We'd better stop talking nonsense and think more about what happens next." Liang An looked at his watch, "It's the little girl from yesterday, the daughter of the victim. It's such a tragedy for a child. She called her in the middle of the night and said she had something to explain, and even made arrangements to ask for leave. She originally said she would bring her mother over to see the body in the morning, but it turned out that the mother was said to have been miserable all night and had some health problems early in the morning. The emergency room I was sent to just told me to come from the hospital now."
Shao Zi took a breath: "Aren't you going to help? He is still a minor and there are no other elders." He had already seen the relationship between the characters and sympathized with Zhu Li.
"I didn't see the news until I woke up." Liang An gave a very formulaic smile, "It was already three o'clock in the morning after I answered her call. I am also human."
"Then why don't you go to the hospital?"
Liang An sighed: "Because she didn't give me a chance. I didn't tell her the name of the hospital. I was afraid that something serious had happened to her mother. Instead, she called her and caused trouble to her without asking. Then just now, she sent a text message saying that she Already on the way.”
Zhu Li arrived quickly, perhaps because the hospital was indeed near the police station. At this time, although there was still some lingering redness around her eyes, her condition was obviously much better than last night, and she could even go out by herself.
The inquiry last night didn't last too long. At that time, although Zhu Li suppressed her sadness and insisted on answering properly, she could tell that she was on the verge of a complete emotional breakdown. Not only did she not care about her image, but she also spoke out the words she thought out, which made her even more angry. It's so confusing that it's almost impossible to come up with a complete meaning.
She had been worrying about her father's disappearance for many days in a row, but she became strong for her mother, who was more mentally fragile. She took care of her mother while persisting in her studies, and even wanted to find her missing father by herself. But all the negative emotions were completely detonated the moment he faced his father's body. This was indeed an unbearable pain for a seventeen-year-old child.
But fortunately, Yang Lexin, who has been with her all the time, is by her side. Yang Lexin was obviously made to be a psychiatrist. He not only alleviated Zhu Li's anxiety to a certain extent, but also sorted out the general situation of the matter, and only then gave the most complete context of the matter at the first time. In this way, Zhu Li next to her only had to choose a yes answer, which relieved a lot of pressure.
"My dad has a secret." Zhu Li took a deep breath and seemed to have made up his mind. "I... I actually know that he has something on his mind, but I can't say for sure. I actually have a hunch... I didn't dare to do anything more before. I thought, but something happened to him, and I...understood something."
Shao Zi turned the pen in his hand and looked at Liang An, who was sitting quietly opposite Zhu Li. From this point of view, Zhu Li might not just be adding something to what he described last night.
Liang An didn't seem surprised. He didn't say anything extra and just motioned for Zhu Li to continue talking.
"Actually, we have been going to that place regularly for many years." Zhu Li bit her lip, "My dad said that because there are few people who know about it and the parking spaces are free, it is more suitable for my mother to bask in the sun. But I know In fact, it’s not like that. Because he has never really been there to relax with us. He is very cautious every time and leaves for a period of time every time. I suspect that he may have put something there. "
"That's why you are so sensitive to that location, right?" Liang An looked at her deeply.
Zhu Li nodded. Then she smoothed her hair on her forehead and continued to speak with more difficulty.
"And...I know that I am not my father's biological daughter."
Both people present already knew this fact, but Liang An still showed a little bit of surprise.
"Is that so?"
Zhu Li seemed to be still firming up her determination to speak out, and did not notice Liang An's rather perfunctory performance: "They all treat me as their biological daughter... I came to their home before going to preschool. My biological father... He handed me over to my father and then left. I thought it was just for a while at first, and I cried for a long time when I realized I was left behind, but then I got used to it. But I knew they wanted to be good to me, so I don’t want to mention this hurtful fact anymore, they thought I had forgotten it from the beginning.”
"But you remember it clearly, right? Have you ever thought about finding your biological father?" Shao Zi asked from behind.
Zhu Li shook her head instead: "Actually, I like this situation very much... Even if it's a bit bitter and difficult... I... I thought, since he abandoned me, I won't look for him. My parents are very good to me. Okay, that's enough." She raised her head, her eyes a little confused.
But the situation changed, it was such a drastic change, and she didn't know what to do.
"What did you mean by the beginning?" Liang An finally spoke.
Zhu Li seemed to have expected it. His expression was complicated, and he lowered his head slightly, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, she organized her speech before continuing to speak.
"This is also the purpose of my visit this time. Before my father disappeared, after we went on an outing, my father suddenly became very strange... I said this. But there is another thing... One night, he suddenly came to talk to me , I thought at first he wanted to see my grades, but he actually wanted to tell me about my biological father."
Shao Zi was very surprised: "He thought you didn't know, but he still took the initiative to tell you?"
"I was surprised at the time. Not because I knew I was not his biological child, but why he told me this." Zhu Li finally couldn't help but choked up, but still swallowed her tears. "His expression was very serious at that time. , but also very haggard. I even thought for a moment that his abnormality was because my biological father came to the door. But his reaction scared me more than this. He told me that they were not my biological parents, but he actually Beg me...please tell me, if something happens to me, can you help take care of my mother..."
Shao Zi was a little unbelievable: "Please..."
What was the tone of voice at that time that made Zhu Li feel this way.
"I didn't dare to answer. I told him not to make such jokes anymore. I've always been scared...so after he disappeared, I reported the case as soon as possible." Zhu Li closed her eyes in pain.
Liang An looked at her expression: "But you didn't explain to the police at the time that your father had such a reaction before. Why?"
"I just said that he was in a very bad state before the accident." Zhu Li shook his head vigorously, as if squeezing out his description through his teeth, "I really can't say it... When I reported him missing, My mother was not that fragile. She followed me to the police station. If I said this to her face, it would be hard for me to imagine... She really treats me like her own daughter. If she knew that my father actually Looking at our relationship this way, I don’t know what she will do..."
Even after she rejected Liang An's offer to send her back at the door, Zhu Li restrained herself from being too rude.
"My most respected father actually begged me to take care of my mother. This is more than just a collapse of my image." Shao Zi sighed with emotion, "Especially for such a filial daughter who is already very good at taking care of others. It doesn't matter if she is not her biological child. She is the father she relies on the most. And she showed such a humble attitude. No wonder she is under so much pressure."
Zhu Li seems to have been wearing the invisible shackles given to her by her father. She not only walks in suffering, but also struggles with the emotions of gain and loss. The original pillar of her heart collapsed completely, and before she even had time to express her final emotions, she was separated forever.
She would definitely take on the responsibility of taking care of her mother, because in Zhu Li's eyes, these are her closest parents. But Zhu Youjun's words were like a thunderbolt, making her even more confused about what to do.
In addition to the struggle of misery and worry every day and night, there is also a collapse of faith - not only because of her father's physical disappearance or death, but also because of the low profile of her trusted father, who made her try to use the good things of the past to To dispel his negative emotions, he still couldn't help but think of the absurd father's plea to his daughter.
Liang An sighed.
"You feel pitiful too?" Shao Zi turned to look at him.
Zhu Li got into a taxi and was on the road not far away.
"I think the little girls nowadays are actually quite difficult to take care of," Liang An turned his head, "like this one. It's a good thing to care about your classmates. There's no need to be secretive - although there's no need to skip school, don't you think?"
Behind the stone lion in the corner, another girl with a somewhat embarrassed expression walked out.
It was Yang Lexin.
