Chapter 41 Chapter 41: Everything Turns into Ashes

People are lifeless, and the blood is still flowing, as if it will never stop. Ju Nian stood still, Han Shu's lips opened and closed beside him, he didn't know what to say, but it didn't matter. It seems that she asked: "Don't you look at him?" Ju Nian shook his head. No matter whether she looked forward or looked back, there was only a smear of blood red, and the rest was gray. The ambulance came, the police also came, and everything that should come... Someone surrounded Wu Yu, and after a while, his body was put on a stretcher, and when the white cloth covered him The redness of the face has also disappeared.The world of the Year of the Orange was completely darkened.

Both she and Han Shu were taken to the police station in the jurisdiction.The questioning started with Han Shu. He was taken into another room. Seeing that Ju Nian was in a trance, a policewoman poured her a glass of water. Ju Nian drank until there was no drop left, and then realized that she was extremely thirsty. almost imagined. Not long after, a graceful middle-aged woman rushed over. It seemed that she didn't recognize Ju Nian, but Ju Nian did recognize her. She was Prosecutor Cai.When she was still living in the family compound of the Municipal Procuratorate, Prosecutor Cai was the ideal of all little girls, not only because she was a well-known female elite in the G municipal law system, but also because of her unforgettable beauty and arrogance when she was young.In Ju Nian's memory, Prosecutor Cai was a plump and tall woman. Now she has gained weight, but her outline is still there.

Prosecutor Cai and the Han family have always had a close relationship, presumably Han Shu caused trouble, he did not dare to disturb the old man easily, so he had to ask her for help. Sure enough, Prosecutor Cai entered the big room where Ju Nian was, but he couldn't see the person he was looking for, so he went outside and made a phone call.It seemed that she was very familiar with many management personnel in the police station, and most of the police officers who came and went greeted her.After a while, a man who looked like a leader led her into the room where Han Shu was, and soon she led Han Shu out smoothly, and shook hands with the leader of the police station politely and enthusiastically.

Ju Nian sat silently in the original position, watching Han Shu wait patiently for Prosecutor Cai to finish talking about the past, hurriedly pulled her to the corner, whispered a few words anxiously, and pointed his hand in the direction where Ju Nian was, Prosecutor Cai Following his gesture, he glanced over and shook his head.Han Shu's voice became louder, "I don't care, I'll go with her." "Little Ancestor, you should wait until this side finishes the procedure, and finish asking what you need to ask." Prosecutor Cai comforted him. "Then I'll wait for her." Han Shu said this to Prosecutor Cai, but his eyes were on Ju Nian.

This is, the policewoman signaled Ju Nian to enter the small room that Han Shu had just walked out of to take notes.The door of the small room was closed after she entered. It was a room less than 10 square meters, with only a bare long square table and two chairs, one of which sat a male policeman in his early forties, thin and Lean and lean, with deep nasolabial folds on her cheeks. Even though it was daytime, the curtains in the room were closed, the headlights were not turned on, and only the light circle of a desk lamp enveloped the long table. Ju Nian sat down, and the policewoman walked out.

Probably Ju Nian kept his head down, and the middle-aged policeman comforted him: "Don't be nervous, because the person who died under the steps may be a suspect in one of our cases, and you and the boy just now are the only two." witnesses present, so there are things I need to know from you." Ju Nian didn't speak, but when he heard the word "death", he trembled imperceptibly. "Tell me what you saw." Ju Nian was silent. That was an experienced policeman, probably because he had seen too many strange people and things, and in front of him was just a timid little girl who had just witnessed a tragedy with her own eyes, so it was normal to be frightened and clueless.

"Don't be afraid, he is dead. My surname is Huang, and I am the police officer in charge of this case. You just need to cooperate with me and answer a few questions before leaving. I have learned something from your classmate Han Shu just now. Things, I just want to know, before Han Shu arrived, that is, when the deceased tried to hurt you, did he say anything to you, or did he behave strangely." Officer Huang was very satisfied to see that his amiable attitude had an effect, and the girl slowly raised her head. "He didn't hurt me." "What?" Officer Huang didn't understand at once.

"He didn't hurt me, he was my friend." The girl's voice was thin and weak, but very clear. "You mean, you knew the deceased?" Police officer Huang showed a look of surprise on his face. Ju Nian said, "His name is Wu Yu." She refused to call the boy with whom she had walked through the ages by the hand dead. Officer Huang's pen quickly jotted down in the notebook for a while, "You mean, what Han Shu said is not the truth, you and death...Wu Yu knew each other, and he didn't hurt you at that time." Ju Nian hesitated for a moment.

"Why don't you answer?" "I didn't say that what Han Shu said was not the truth. What he saw was different from what I saw." "What's the difference?" "..." After Ju Nian entered the room for a long time, Police Officer Huang finally looked at the girl in front of him seriously. She gave people a very gentle impression at first, so that he, who is rich in cases, didn't notice the white socks on her ankles in the first place. finger marks of blood. "Your name is Ju Nian, right? Are you injured?" Officer Huang asked calmly.

Ju Nian shook his head. "Did you go to the Martyrs Cemetery with Han Shu to breathe fresh air?" Ju Nian was startled, but still shook his head. "Then why did you appear in that place? Could it be a coincidence... I hope you can answer my question clearly. Let me ask you again, why did you appear in that place? , you are friends with the deceased, did he make an appointment with you to meet at a certain place?" Ju Nian shook his head halfway, remembering the other party's warning, and was about to answer when Officer Huang's cell phone rang. "Wait a minute, I'll answer the phone." Officer Huang walked out of the small room.

This wait is nearly an hour. When Police Officer Huang sat across from Ju Nian again, his face was obviously more dignified than last time. "Do you know that Wu Yu killed someone?" He asked straight to the point. Ju Nian's eyelashes trembled a few times. "Lin Henggui is dead?" "You know Lin Henggui?" Officer Huang's eyes became sharp. "I lived in that generation for a few years and I know a lot of people in the neighborhood." "Then do you know where Lin Henggui lives? Around 7:20 this morning, a nearby hospital received an anonymous call asking for an ambulance to be dispatched. Did you pass by his residence during that time, and what did you see?" Ju Nian finally raised her head to face the person opposite, and she had roughly guessed the meaning of the other person's words. "Yes, it was me who called." "How did you find Lin Henggui who was injured? According to our inquiries with nearby residents, at 7 o'clock you passed the door of his shop on the right. If you didn't go close to the door and observe carefully, you would not have discovered this. You don't have close contacts with Lin Henggui, why did you go to pull his door early in the morning?" Officer Huang's doubts were not unreasonable, and Ju Nian knew that he could only tell the truth. "I went to find my friend Wu Yu, I was worried that he would have a conflict with Lin Henggui." "That means you know that Wu Yu robbed Lin Henggui?" "He didn't..." She wanted to say that Wu Yu was not a robber, he just took back what belonged to him. However, in the eyes of an outsider, in the eyes of a policeman, he robbed Lin Henggui, even Kill him, that's the truth.Just like what a prostitute sells herself for, it doesn't matter, what matters is that she becomes Others don't need to know the bitter antecedents and irreversible difficulties, they just want the result. "I don't know, Wu Yu never told me what he was going to do." "Then where did you learn about his plan?" "......My guess." Officer Huang let out a laugh.Like a disdain for a bad lie. "Did you guess? You guessed that he was going to rob, and you guessed who the target of the robbery was and where it was, and then you guessed accurately that Lin Henggui was bleeding to death behind the door, and you guessed that Wu Yu was hiding above the martyrs' cemetery? " She knew she couldn't convince anyone.However, this is the truth, the only tacit understanding between her and Wu Yu.Without him, who else in the world would believe in this ridiculous telepathy. "I know him. He has a feud with Lin Henggui, and he needs money. Lin Henggui is not a good person. He cheated Wu Yu of money by despicable means." Ju Nian said softly. Officer Huang looked at Ju Nian carefully again.At first, he thought she was a weak and timid girl, a girl who could make her tremble with a little trouble, but from the first question he asked, she was always soft-spoken and didn't say much, but every word she said was right. Quite clear and not confused.No panic, no anger, no waves, no tears.In the face of a series of tragedies, she even showed a bit of indifference, except for the moment when he mentioned Wu Yu's nickname for the "dead", most of the time, she seemed to be telling other people's ordinary experiences. "Okay, even if I take you as 'guessing' what happened, why didn't you call the police after you knew Wu Yu's plan, especially after you witnessed Lin Henggui's injury? Not only that, but you are still in his hiding place Meet with him, if Han Shu doesn't show up, is he going to run away, and you will help him because you are friends? You are a student, you should have the most basic legal knowledge, and do not report, cover up and harbor criminal suspicions Man is also a crime." Ju Nian didn't speak any more, she had nothing to say.If it was possible, if it happened again, she knew it was a crime, but she would still help Wu Yu go far away. From this moment on, no matter what questions Officer Huang raised, she would remain silent most of the time, and the conversation reached a stalemate for a while. Ju Nian had a burning pain in her throat, which was a reminder that she was still alive. The policewoman who poured water for her before knocked on the door and came in, and whispered a few words in Officer Huang's ear. Officer Huang was startled and left Ju Nian alone again.This time, they were closing the door outside, and Ju Nian heard the sound of it being locked. Time passed by, and it was already noon, and there were several other police officers who came in at the same time as Officer Huang. "Xie Ju Nian, I want you to answer me clearly, where are you around five o'clock in the morning today?" He got his wish and observed the cracks in Ju Nian's indifference. "I contacted your parents based on the phone number you provided before. They are looking for you anxiously. That is to say, you didn't return all night last night. Say, where were you and what were you doing?" Five o'clock in the morning...Ju Nian's eyes protruded from the floating sand like that strange body, the smell of sweat could be clearly heard, every inch of his body was tactile, and the musty-smelling bed sheet under his body, he was sweaty and wet Powerful legs and even a curled up position.She gasped and closed her eyes with difficulty. "Answer me!" Officer Huang yelled, his expression was no longer that of an insider, but that of a real criminal. "I was drunk last night..." "Are you still lying? Lin Henggui has woken up in the hospital. He clearly told the police that the person who robbed and injured him was not only Wu Yu, but also a girl. It was not yet dawn, so he could only see Wu Yu clearly, but he It is very certain that the other person is. Only you are often with Wu Yu, and you once had a dispute with him a few years ago, when you smashed his head with a soda bottle, didn't you!" "Impossible. I was definitely not there at the time. If Lin Henggui didn't even see that person's face clearly, what evidence is there to assert that it was me? If it was me, why should I go to save him?" Ju Nian stood up from where he had been sitting, and was quickly pushed down by the policewoman beside him. "I hate Lin Henggui, he...he used to...but if I knew that Wu Yu would do something stupid last night, if I had time, I would definitely stop him!" "The bloody handprint on your right sock is Lin Henggui's. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it. You are very smart. Maybe you know that your fingerprints and footprints were left at the crime scene, so you went back two hours ago with a You made a phone call with the attitude of a rescuer, you didn't expect Lin Henggui to survive so badly; it may also be that you feel regret for what you have done, and your conscience realizes that you want to make amends..." "These are all your guesses. In fact, I didn't do that!" Misfortunes followed one after another, and nightmares came one after another.Ju Nian still couldn't accept Wu Yu's death, but she was surprised to find that she had become one of the suspects of the murderer. Rao was completely ashamed in her heart. Can you not be surprised? "People are doing it, and the sky is watching. You think that the clothes are perfect, but in fact they are full of flaws. Before five o'clock, an early-rising vegetable farmer saw Wu Yu dragging a girl to appear on the path near Lin Henggui's house. This proves that Lin Henggui is not I'm not lying, Wu Yu is not the only one who committed the crime. Not long ago, our people found the vegetable farmer. He still remembers you. Although he can't be sure, he said that the girl's hair reaches her waist, and her back looks like yours. very similar." Ju Nian was startled when he heard the words, "She..." How could she not know who that person was? She didn't expect that Wu Yu would also take her with him at that time, and he kept saying that he didn't want Ju Nian to take risks with her , but can she? "Her? Who is she?!" No one knows about Wu Yu and Chen Jiejie. Only Ju Nian knows about their backlit love affair. Of course, there is also Han Shu who knows little about it.It was Ju Nian who helped them hide it painstakingly and pass it on vividly. "Officer Huang, you have also said that, including Lin Henggui, no one can prove that the girl was me at that time. Lin Henggui had a dispute with me, and he would naturally say that I am a girl without seeing the other party clearly. As for the long hair, there are many girls with long hair, and there are not a few girls who are similar to me..." Officer Huang exchanged a look of "Look, I told you she was cunning" with the people around her.He said unhurriedly: "Could it be that there is another person who has long hair reaching to the waist, a back figure similar to yours, a friend with Wu Yu, and Lin Henggui who wants to die?" Ju Nian opened his mouth to speak, but couldn't make a sound. "You have to know that even though these are indirect evidence, the fingerprints and footprints you left in Lin Henggui's store will be the most direct evidence. Based on the chain of evidence formed by a series of things, it is not difficult to convict you, so , you'd better tell me, where were you last night?" Ju Nian's nails penetrated into the flesh of the palm, which is the blueprint for what kind of absurd novel. "Tian Mi, the hotel I stayed at last night is called Tian Mi. It's near the South Gate of G University. I came out from there at about seven o'clock this morning. If you don't believe me, you can check." Her head gradually drooped, almost To cling to her chest, that is her shame, a memory she does not want to reveal. Han Shu waited outside for several hours, like ants on a hot pan.Finally, he finally waited for Prosecutor Cai, who was teased by him to inquire about the situation, to come back. He couldn't wait to go up to him and asked, "What's the matter, godmother, why is she in there for so long? Didn't you say that there is no problem? Say hello!" You can go after saying hello?" Prosecutor Cai frowned and said, "Why are you yelling, kid?" She lowered her voice as she spoke, "That female classmate is very close to you? She can't leave. Just now I asked the deputy captain of the criminal investigation team, She is very likely to be related to a robbery and murder case near the martyr's cemetery in the early hours of this morning. You should stay away from her from now on. The older you are, the more ignorant you will be, and you will keep in touch with people who don't know..." "What?" Han Shu laughed in disbelief, "Godmother, did you hear me wrong?" "Can this be a joke? The person who was robbed almost died. She was the one who committed the crime with the suspect you bumped into this morning. Do you know how dangerous you were at that time? Thank God nothing happened." Han Shu began to realize the seriousness of the matter, "Impossible, absolutely impossible, she was with me last night, she was by my side all night..." "What did you say?" Prosecutor Cai was taken aback, looked around quickly, then quickly dragged Han Shu to a relatively secluded corner of the corridor, and softly reprimanded: "What nonsense are you talking about, how could you do that last night?" With her, you can't talk nonsense!" "Really, godmother, I didn't lie to you, she is indeed with me." Han Shu's eyes were red, "Go and tell the policemen that they suspect the wrong person, and no one can be her." , if they don’t believe it, I can testify to her.” "You don't go home at night, what are you doing with a girl...you, you..." Prosecutor Cai's face changed color, and You couldn't believe it. Han Shu turned his face away and did not deny it. The reddened ears proved her guess. "Just the two of you...Han Shu, okay you, how old are you, and you're messing around with those dubious girls, you..." "She's not a naughty girl." "If she is clean and self-respecting, she will be with you at a young age... Oh my God, how can I say it..." "She drank too much, I insisted...I insisted...she refused..." Han Shu's voice became weaker and weaker, his thin skin almost He was about to bleed, biting his lower lip repeatedly with his teeth. Prosecutor Cai was stunned for three seconds. After comprehending the meaning of his words, he was trembling with anger, and with the small leather bag in his hand, he hit the baby's godson without thinking, "You son of a bitch... ....You really want to piss me off...I don't have children, so I treat you as my own. It seems wrong. Three adults spoiled you...How do you To do such a thing..." Han Shu hid in embarrassment, not daring to make too much noise. "I can't control you anymore, if your father finds out about this..." "Don't, godmother." Han Shu panicked and grabbed Prosecutor Cai's small purse, "Godmother, you are the best for me, you can't just ignore it." It took a long time for Prosecutor Cai to calm down. After all, she is not a mediocre woman. After a brief shock and gaffe, her professionalism forced her to calm down. "Han Shu, let me ask you again, what you said is true." Han Shu knew the importance of this matter, even though he wanted to save face, he had to hem and haw to repeat what happened last night to his godmother after omitting some "details". "She was literally by my side all night and I kept her in my arms. It was almost seven in the morning and she couldn't be a suspect for the police." Prosecutor Cai spat, "I said Han Shu, Han Shu, who are you? You are Han Shewen's son. It's alright for other children to be legally illiterate, but you can also be so stupid? Let's not talk about the inside things. The girl escaped. You can't escape the relationship, but if you want to be more serious, you are... breaking the law." No matter how iron-fisted and ruthless he is in his daily work, he hates evil like a vengeance, and facing his godson who treats him as if he was his own, Prosecutor Cai can't say the word "rape". Han Shu said: "I know I did something wrong, but I really like her. Godmother, I will marry her in the future, and she can't have any accidents. You tell me, how I want to testify for her, I will do whatever I want. of." "You are willing, before you say a word, your dad will have to take your skin off! He can have nothing in his life, except for a face that cannot be smeared by others. You have forgotten how he usually teaches Yours. You tell me first, is that girl interested in you...don't play tricks on me...don't know...you...if she sues you , no matter whether you can succeed or not, you just wait for your father to beat you to death before he dies of anger, and leave your mother to hang herself." "I can't control this now, I have to let her avoid the dirty water first." "You can't testify!" "Why? You want me to stand by for the sake of me and my dad? Then I'm still human." "What do you know? You don't want to lose face. Can the girl not want it? She didn't want to spend the night with you. Once this matter is revealed, what dignity do you give her? She is an eighteen-year-old girl. Han Shu, have you thought about this? Just now you said that she is Xie Maohua's eldest daughter, who was sent away when she was a child? Xie Maohua, I remember, who is he... He can tolerate such a daughter. .....Your father can tolerate... It's messy, in a word, Han Shu, to prove that she is not at the scene, you don't have to testify in person, you have to consider her even if you don't think about yourself , I will talk to her, and then think of a way..." "Godmother, you have to help us." "You?" Prosecutor Cai smiled helplessly, "Sure enough, you have a daughter-in-law who forgot your mother. Why did I get involved in your matter?"
