Chapter 128 Relieved.
Jiang Nan did go to see a movie, but fell asleep from the beginning to the end. As for the plot, he didn't know anything about it. If the aunt who came to clean up before the movie ended woke him up, otherwise he would still be able to sleep.
He originally wanted to take advantage of the two hours of the movie to think about whether to go see his mother, after all, today is the anniversary of his mother's death, but as soon as his butt touched the chair, Zhou Gongfei dragged him on a date, and even thought about it.
After spending tens of dollars to sleep, thinking about the blood loss, Jiang Nan took an untouched buttered popcorn and cool sweet milk before leaving, thinking that spending money should not be wasted.
As night fell, the temperature dropped sharply. After coming out of the well-heated movie theater, Jiangnan was not used to the temperature outside, and the intersection at the station was as cold as a quail.
He looked left and right, thinking about which way to go, and his intuition told him that he should go to the mall to buy vegetables, go home and cook a meal, wait for Jiang Bei to come back, and earnestly be a househusband, but his conscience told him that he should Go see mom.
While he was struggling, a labor taxi stopped in front of him, and the driver poked his head out and asked, "Where are you going, young man? I'll get off work after one more order. It's cheaper for you."
Jiang Nan hadn't decided where to go yet, but the bitter winter wind forced him to get into the car. After a while, Siyu said the name of the place: "Go to Wangjiang Park."
Wangjiang Park was only built in recent years. The expansion of the city has turned this once desolate land into a high-tech talent gathering area. The housing price alone is much more expensive than other areas.Row upon row of high-rise buildings covered the original dilapidated bungalows, and also changed the familiar roads. The only thing that remained unchanged was the river.
The river cannot be filled, so that it can be preserved in the process of rapid urban development. In order to maximize the benefits, the relevant departments have built a park around it and built a residential area around it. The price of any house that can see the river is even higher. A rising tide lifts all boats, this sales model is exactly the same as that of a sea view house, it all depends on blowing.
If it is summer, the park at this point is still very lively, and people who come out to enjoy the shade and dance in the square can be seen everywhere, but when winter comes, no one is willing to go out against the winter wind, and they all stay at home. Lazy, hiding in the security booth to warm up by the fire, the whole park has few people and no popularity.
Jiangnan entered the park without any effort, came to the riverside with ease, walked up the promenade across the two banks, and stood still on the viewing pavilion.
He looked at the heavy river, how to put it, when he was a child, he thought that this river was wide and wide, if he fell, he would definitely die, but when he really rolled in the river, he felt that the river was nothing more than that, even so, The river still swallowed his only support in childhood.
Jiangnan didn't buy any sacrifices, not even a little white flower, but put the popcorn and sweet milk in his hand on the ground as sacrifices, with the words on his face "Do you want love, don't pull it down, it's good to see you "I'm impatient.
He felt that he was crazy to come to this place, and was about to escape, when the words Jiang Bei once said to him suddenly sounded in his mind - you were born to be loved.
"I came to see you, you should thank..." Jiang Nan was thinking about how to introduce Jiang Bei to his mother, "... thank you... thank you for my love, it has nothing to do with you. He told me not to blame you, I will listen to him. "
Jiang Nan took out a hundred-yuan bill and pressed it under the milk bottle. Thinking this was the first time he came to pay homage to his mother, he should give her some living expenses anyway: "It's just so much money, you share it with your other son, it doesn't matter if it's too little Way, why did you always scold me in the past? I hold a grudge very much. You, in your next life, keep your eyes bright, a scumbag is not worth it."
After entrusting his thoughts and feelings of "You are blind, you deserve it", Jiangnan stood by the river for a while, wondering where did the woman who was afraid of strangers and trapped herself in a cone come from, daring to face the strong wind? Jumping into the piercing river on a rainy night?It doesn't count if she doesn't want to live, but she still wants to give her a back. Now, her other son is going to accompany her, and she won't be alone anymore.
As if it were an illusion, Jiangnan felt that the river wind that was originally chilling his skin became gentler at this moment, stroking his hair and skin longingly.
It may be true as Jiang Bei said, he was loved from birth, but that love was catalyzed by time into a kind of almost paranoid shackles, locking his supposedly bright childhood, even so, he did not It is necessary to argue with a crazy woman with a fragile nerve.
The surroundings were completely silent, and Jiangnan stood for a quarter of an hour. Under the guidance of Jiang Bei's patient comfort and mature psychology day after day, he let go of the past at this moment, and now, he is going home, going back to wait for his future .
It's not too late, after buying groceries and going home to make a meal, maybe they can just wait until Jiang Bei gets off work, they will sit under the dim light and have a warm dinner, then take a hot bath and tuck into the soft blanket Jiang Bei would probably tell him to be quiet impatiently, but in the end he would coax him to sleep, and always pay attention to whether it was raining. If it did, he would be comforted more gently.
If there is no accident, this will be the most peaceful and happy time in his whole day. Just thinking about it makes a warm current flow through his heart.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind him.
The footsteps were very light, as if he was afraid of disturbing Jiangnan, but the creaking sound when he stepped on the wooden bridge revealed his position. The sound was very clear in the silent night, and Jiangnan immediately caught it. Looking sideways , a black shadow was standing directly in front of him.
Jiang Nan couldn't see his face clearly, but somehow he seemed to know who he was.
The other party was wearing a well-crafted suit and a long overcoat. His gestures were careless. He seemed to be visiting a park, and he even said hello to Jiangnan:
"Hello, brat."
At the same time, the interrogation room of the Municipal Bureau.
A strange silence spread in the small room, and Qiu Zongfu was in a state of confusion, guessing how much Jiang Bei knew, and still balancing what he should say to avoid risks and strive for a lighter punishment.He thought for a long time, until Jiang Bei threw out a group photo of the amusement park, and his shaky psychological defense completely collapsed, and he said a word mockingly: "How many years has Jiang Bei's investigation been going forward? Why? Have you found this thing too?"
"24 years, from the moment Cheng Yejin entered the orphanage," Jiang Bei said, "Of course, you can also start from 24 years ago. We have plenty of time."
For some reason, Qiu Zongfu's mocking smile deepened, as if laughing at Jiang Bei's wrong words: "Yes, I have plenty of time, but Vice Jiang's detachment may not have it."
"what?"
Jiang Bei was thinking a lot, feeling inexplicably agitated, but before he could think about the meaning of this sentence, Qiu Zongfu spoke again:
"24 years ago... I picked up a little doll at the gate of the orphanage one morning. Well, it was Cheng Ye."
Jiang Bei was forced to pull back his thoughts, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and said, "You don't seem to have the habit of calling the police."
Qiu Zongfu let out a "huh": "At that time, what could be found? Report to the police for registration and then use it to press the bottom of the box. Why should I do anything extra, anyway, it is a child that no one wants."
Jiang Bei asked: "And then? If I remember correctly, your orphanage had just opened at that time, and raising a child of unknown origin would be a burden for you."
"Well, indeed," Qiu Zongfu said honestly, "At that time, I was just starting out, and I didn't have any sponsors. When I was young, I was afraid of poverty. The first goal of doing things was to make money. I didn't feel much about raising children to do good things. So when I found out that I couldn't make any money, I started to deduct their subsidies, and Cheng Ye was just an 'income' to me."
Qiu Zongfu stated without any waves, as if deducting subsidies is as simple as eating three meals a day, which makes people feel annoyed.
"However, there were not many subsidies at that time, plus the necessary expenses, even if I took in [-] children, I would not be able to earn a lot of money." Qiu Zongfu straightened his messy hair and tried his best to look like a dog. He went on to say, "And during that time, there was news that an orphanage in other places bought dolls from human traffickers in order to defraud subsidies. The matter suddenly became a big deal, and we suffered. .”
Jiang Bei roughly guessed what was going to happen next, and took the words: "After you found out that the way of subsidy deduction was not going to work, you thought of other ways, such as adoption."
Unexpectedly, Qiu Zongfu denied it: "No, it's not what I thought - in fact, to adopt a child, the orphanage can require the adopter to pay a sum of maintenance fee, but there are regulations on this amount, and it is not much more than the subsidy I deducted, so I can't get it back Ben. I did think of other ways, and when I found out that it didn’t work, I even had the idea of giving up the orphanage until—”
Qiu Zongfu said, his eyes slowly fell on the group photo on the table: "It wasn't until I met someone that I gave up my thoughts."
Jiang Bei followed his gaze: "Oh, you met a sponsor who has been investing money in the orphanage, and even helped you think of other ways to make money. Because of this, you came back to life. When the amusement park held love activities, you even invited I missed him, but because of his special status, he didn't appear in the group photo."
Qiu Zongfu wanted to praise Jiang Bei for his rich imagination, and he was right: "That's right. About the third year...or four years after Cheng Ye came to the orphanage, a young man suddenly came to visit and asked me if I had taken him in. A pair of twins, I said no, he didn't believe it, he ran to the yard to look for it, and then saw Cheng Ye."
"Cheng Ye is a very beautiful kid. Everyone likes to tease him when they see him, but the look in the young man's eyes is not love, it's more like a madness after revenge. He said earlier that he was looking for a boy, I was afraid that he would cause trouble in the orphanage and lie to him that Cheng Ye was a girl, not the person he was looking for, and he couldn't take it off. He didn't do it, so he said with absolute certainty, "Cheng Ye is a boy, it can't be wrong." , but there is still one', and he left after speaking, inexplicably."
Jiang Bei traced the timeline. When the twins were three or four years old, Han Wenzhou had already learned about the whereabouts of the twins through a private office. He was about to pick up his own son and go home. He didn't want to have an accident on the way. A bizarre car accident was about to happen. His fate, therefore, the young man that Qiu Zongfu said was looking for twins could not be Han Wenzhou, let alone the elderly Han Cheng at that time. There was only one possibility—the young man ran away from the Han family. juvenile.
Maybe he heard the gossip quietly from Han Wenzhou, and when Han Wenzhou died, he couldn't wait to find the twins who took everything from him. Whether it was revenge or venting his anger, he had to do something.
"Deputy Jiang's detachment has been investigating for 20 years, so they should be able to guess who that person is," Qiu Zongfu knew that his handle was in the hands of others, so he didn't plan to struggle anymore. "I'm not interested in other people's family affairs. I really knew him when Cheng Ye was six years old. I received the first funding that year. Two months after the funds were in place, he came to the orphanage again. Then Only then did I know that the sponsor was him. He was too young, and I didn’t know where he got the money for the sponsorship, so I asked a few more questions out of curiosity.”
Jiang Bei: "Did he tell you?"
"Not at that time," Qiu Zongfu shook his head. "The young man told me that he wanted me to give Cheng Ye to him. I think the age difference between him and Cheng Ye is only a dozen years. There are clear regulations on adopting children, and the age difference is at least You have to be 30 years old, although I don't follow the rules, but I'm not crazy enough to give away a child without going through the process, I refused, and he didn't say anything."
"But you have always been thinking about his way of getting rich, so when Cheng Qiong said that he wanted to adopt Cheng Ye, you refused, and you were reluctant to part with that money tree," Jiang Bei added, and asked, "Later, why did you let Cheng Ye adopt Cheng Ye?" Did Joan adopt Cheng Ye?"
"Because he agreed," Qiu Zongfu said slowly, "he seemed to have figured it out. He wanted Cheng Ye to go to a normal family, but the condition was that he had to choose the adopter. After a long time, he chose Cheng Ye, who seemed the most honest. Joan. Actually, as a funder, he has no right to intervene in the operation of the orphanage. To show his sincerity, he proposed cooperation to me."
At this point in the conversation, it was finally time to open Pandora's Box. Jiang Bei exhaled and asked, "What is the content of the cooperation?"
Qiu Zongfu raised his eyelids to look at Jiang Bei, and replied: "It's very simple, adoption, but the 'adopter' is introduced by him, and his people are responsible for the procedures. I just have to look at the 'adopter' pretendingly as usual." "The information is fine, because there is no trace of it, no one will find out about it, and I have become more courageous. And I have paid a certain price for doing so. I no longer have the right to manage the orphanage. Everyone from All the children who go out of the orphanage have to be approved by him, not only that, to ensure nothing goes wrong, he also sent someone to check the ledger regularly to avoid surprise inspections from above to find clues."
Jiang Bei: "You said before that adoption can't make money, so why did you agree to cooperate with him?"
"What I'm talking about is that the child support can't be paid back. For example, a serious adopter like Cheng Qiong never gave me a dime." Qiu Zongfu showed a slightly bloody smile, "but he introduced' Adopters' are different, they're willing to pay a premium for a child."
Jiang Bei's fingertips trembled slightly: "What's the reason for the high price?"
"Well...Actually, I didn't know at first, let alone ask, I just want to make money," Qiu Zongfu's smile gradually deepened, "But you know, a pervert always has...unbelievable thoughts and behaviors, let's cooperate After a period of time, he told me that "people are actually very valuable, just like commodities, the prices of wholesale and retail are different, and 'retail' means that you can earn more price difference", otherwise you think Gu Qing How did the little girl find Ma Wei?"
Jiang Bei seemed to be poisoned by Qiu Zongfu's bloody smile, and a bloody smell suddenly surged up in his chest, which lingered for a long time.Although he had already guessed that those missing children would not end well, but hearing Qiu Zongfu's confession with his own ears, his heart still shook violently.
"Ah~ I remembered why he said these things to me. The other day he said that he found another 'Cheng Ye' and he looked very excited." Qiu Zongfu liked Jiang Bei's shocked expression and couldn't help but want to give him a The more shocking secret, "I think he was too excited to talk nonsense to me. He thought the twins were a fun toy that could be used to deceive others, so he started using Cheng Ye... Did I tell you? Actually He has always been in contact with Cheng Ye, as you should have guessed, even if Cheng Ye is caught doing bad things, it doesn't matter, after all, he has a younger brother who shares the same set of DNA. I guess he has a lot to do with the twins, but I don't care, I just Wanting to make money, I've always had the mentality of watching his lunatic behavior, how can I put it, he is...an unpredictable lunatic."
