The first thing I did when I returned to school was to call Yu Xiaowei to report the good news. After all, she had played a major role in this matter, and I also hoped that she and Uncle Le would also say so. After finishing, I called Song Yang again, reported on the progress here, and thanked him emphatically for his help in this matter. Song Yang seemed to be very busy, and he kept saying "um" vaguely, so I had to hang up the phone and prepare to go to the KTV to thank him in person another day. I also knew that there would be an interrogation process after Cao Ye was arrested, so I held it in until I called Wu Haisheng the next day and asked him about the current situation. Wu Haisheng's answer shocked me. It turned out that among the twenty or so students who were interrogated yesterday, some did go to the rooftop on the night of Li Xu's death, and indeed saw Cao Ye and Li Xu boarding the rooftop together. However, Cao Ye later removed the people on the rooftop. Everyone rushed off. In other words, no one saw what exactly happened between Cao Ye and Li Xu on the rooftop, and the so-called witnesses at the scene had nothing to say. However, it can at least be proven that Li Xu was with Cao Ye before his death. Of course, Cao Ye was a serious suspect, so the police took him away for questioning legally. Wu Haisheng originally thought that with the police interrogation experience and the evidence and testimonies currently available, he would be able to deal with students like Cao Ye. However, Wu Haisheng said that he had far underestimated Cao Ye's anti-interrogation ability. This guy is like an iron bucket. He was invulnerable and bit him to death. He just had a heart-to-heart talk with Li Xu because of Yuanyuan's problem. Later, things didn't work out. He did get a little rough with Li Xu, but he didn't push him off the rooftop. Instead, he left Li Xu behind. Xu left the rooftop alone. He had no idea that Li Xu had fallen down or that Li Xu had died. He thought he had really transferred school. "Damn, this bastard, what he said is true." Wu Haisheng gritted his teeth on the phone. I asked worriedly: "If he doesn't admit it, there's nothing we can do against him?" "Not necessarily. Li Xu has the motive for murder and the time of committing the crime. Even if he doesn't admit it, we can prosecute him according to law. It will be up to the court then. "Why? I think the chance of being sentenced is quite high." "That's good." I breathed a sigh of relief, even if Cao Ye can resist, after all, the legal network is wide and open. Later, news came out that Cao Ye had been detained, and the news that he had killed Li Xu also spread between the two schools. Moreover, because this case was handled very tightly, I heard that a public trial would be held soon. . The technical secondary school lost its boss, Xie Zi, Zhang Liao and others were still hospitalized. The existing Li Wei, Jin Lin and others could not control the situation, so the school fell into chaos again. New gangs and forces kept emerging, and every day Beat, beat, beat, sometimes you can still hear the sound of shouting and killing over there in No. 1 Middle School. After Cao Ye was arrested, my case was naturally cleared up. I asked Wu Haisheng if I could go and see Cao Ye. He agreed, so on a weekend morning, Ye Yun, Dongzi and I came to the detention center and met Cao Ye in the reception room. I haven't seen him for more than half a month, and Cao Ye seems to have aged more than ten years. Not only because of his unkempt appearance, but also because his energy and spirit have basically been worn away. When Cao Ye looked at me, his eyes were terrifyingly calm, as if his heart was dead, but I knew there was a murderous intention underneath. "You can't blame me." I said, "It's natural to pay for life. If you kill Li Xu, you have to pay for his life." Cao Ye looked at me and said word by word: "I didn't kill Li Xu. "Go and talk to the police." I left a cigarette and two bottles of wine and asked the police officer to take care of him before leaving the detention center. After all, after fighting for so long, he is about to die, so I feel pity for him. I have never dared to see Yuanyuan, and I have no idea about her current condition. One afternoon, she suddenly called me and asked me to meet at a typhoon shelter outside the school. I hesitated for a while and then went. Yuanyuan was sitting in the corner with a glass of juice in front of her, but the expression on her face was extremely calm. I sat down and looked at her without saying a word, "You already knew that, right?" I nodded. Yuanyuan breathed out, looked at the ceiling as if she was lost in memories, and said slowly: "Actually, I should have guessed it a long time ago. With Li Xu's character, he wouldn't have stopped contacting me for so long. I was just deceiving myself, thinking that one day he would You will contact me." I couldn't help but say: "I still hope you can come out. Li Xu also hopes that you can be happy in heaven." It's a very old-fashioned comforting saying. In fact, I learned it from TV, but now I do. Apart from these, there is nothing more to say. Yuanyuan didn¡¯t speak for a long time, staring at the strawberry juice in front of her without moving. "Li Xu and I grew up together, and we agreed to be together forever, but now he has left me alone. It's okay, Wu Tao, you don't have to worry about me, I'm just expressing my feelings, these days I I have cried enough, and suddenly I found that I was relieved. The days of waiting this year were also very difficult. Many times I would hide under the quilt and scold him secretly. Why hasn't he contacted me for so long? It's inevitable. Random thoughts, has he fallen in love with another girl again?Not coming back? This heartless man, Chen Shimei, I don¡¯t want him anymore. Now he¡¯s fine. I know he¡¯s dead, so that¡¯s why he didn¡¯t contact me. All the confusion, doubts, and hatred have disappeared. I love him and he loves me, and that has never changed. It's okay, Wu Tao, don't look at me with that look. I will definitely live a good life in the future. I will study hard, graduate hard, work hard, and marry a good husband. Li Xu will also bless me, right? ? "I nodded desperately. It's great that Yuanyuan can think like this. This girl is far stronger than I thought. No wonder she can bear the humiliation and bear the burden by Cao Ye's side for so long. "I found out about Li Xu's grave. Do you want to go and see it with me? "I nodded, stood up and walked out of the typhoon shelter. "Li Xu's father was a promiscuous gambler. After receiving his son's body and a large sum of compensation, he happened to have a gambling addiction and was anxious to go to the card table, so he hastily removed his son After sending it to the crematorium to burn it, I gave the staff of the funeral home some money and asked them to help buy a cemetery to bury my son, and then hurried back home to gamble. Xiaoshulin bought a cemetery near mountains and rivers, and asked a craftsman to build a good tombstone, and then buried Li Xu's ashes underground. From last year to now, no one has ever visited Li Xu. The two sides of the cemetery were already overgrown with grass. It took Yuanyuan and I an hour to clear away the grass on both sides. The photo of Li Xu on the tombstone is still beautiful and sunny, and he and the beautiful Yuanyuan are a match made in heaven. But now. There are two parts of the world, one is sleeping underground, and the other is living in sorrow for a long time. When we came here, we only brought a bouquet of flowers, a large bouquet of white calla lilies placed in front of the tombstone. The sky was gloomy and a little floating. The light snow was a bit of a boost to the atmosphere, but after all it didn¡¯t form a climate, and the ground wasn¡¯t even whitened. This winter was finally coming to an end. The two of us were sitting in front of the tombstone. Yuanyuan asked me if I was in a hurry to go back, and I said I wasn¡¯t in a hurry. Then she started telling the story about her and Li Xu. Actually, it was nothing. They were just a pair of childhood sweethearts who had been together since junior high school. She gave him water when he was playing basketball, and he talked up to the teacher when she was criticized. , the final result was that both their studies declined, so they were admitted to the unsatisfactory technical secondary school. Yuanyuan said: "If we study hard and get into a better school, it won't happen." These things? ¡± I didn¡¯t answer, because ¡°if¡± is meaningless, and even if it is a good school, there will still be campus violence. We stayed until dark before leaving. On the way back, I said I was going somewhere else and said goodbye to her. I took a taxi. I was going to go to the KTV at 0:00. It¡¯s been more than a month since I left the club, and I haven¡¯t been there even once. I called Song Yang a few days ago and he didn¡¯t answer. I didn¡¯t know where the store was. What's going on now? When the lights first came on, I got off the bus on the side of the road. I was in the busiest and most prosperous street in Wenshui County. The arrival of dark night made both sides of the street ablaze with lights, flashing high beams and low beams. There is an endless stream of traffic lights. In this world made of light that looks like daylight, the darkness here is undoubtedly out of place. The whole building is black and lifeless, like a lonely widow who is approaching his twilight years. Old man. My heart suddenly tightened. I walked over step by step, hoping that it was just a temporary power outage. This situation has happened before, and it only takes time to turn on another set of switches. It never took more than thirty seconds. But during the period from when I got off the car to crossing the street, Zero Point KTV was still dark, and there was not a car or a security guard at the door. After all, I walked over. My heart was completely pounded, and even breathing felt very laborious. The door was locked, and there was a piece of white paper on the door with four big words written on it: The store is for sale, and there is a phone number below it. It is closed at 0:00. , and I had no idea that my body started to tremble, and I suspected that it had something to do with me. I took out my phone tremblingly, and wanted to call Song Yang, but my hands were shaking and I couldn't even pick up the phone. ¡°Hey, Wu Tao, why are you here? " I turned around, and it was Sister Lan, the madam of a hair washing shop in the alley opposite. "I, I came to see Brother Yang" "They are closed, don't you know? " "Do not know what's going on? " "Huh? Not for you? They said that you smashed a school and injured several students. In addition to paying the money, you also had to clear the police station. This was an extremely huge expense, so they had to sell the store"
