Chapter 75

"A Cong was only 12 years old, and it was difficult to find a job, so he went to Mu Tian for help. In those years, Mu Tian was studying abroad and couldn't take care of himself, so he entrusted A Cong to me."

Li Yiran: "Entrusted to you? You should be only 16 at that time, right?"

Xiaohe: "Yes, but at that time, Ah Meng and I had been orphans for many years. We had the ability to live independently and each had a job. We are also orphans. We empathize with Ah Cong's experience and are willing to take care of him. "

Xiaohe spoke very slowly, recalling as she spoke, as if she cherished that time very much.

In a remote village, several children depend on each other. The days they spend together are poor and difficult, but they also have their own warmth and happiness.

Jiang Wenchi: "According to the employee roster of the chemical plant, were you the first to work in the chemical plant?"

Xiaohe nodded: "Yes. When I was 16 years old, I was introduced by Mutian's sister Juxing to work in a chemical factory. At that time, Ah Meng was still doing odd jobs outside, and sometimes I would bring Ah Cong with me."

Li Yiran: "Why did you go to the chemical factory, but Ah Meng didn't?"

Xiaohe: "There have always been more female workers and fewer male workers in chemical factories. The tradition in our Haixi Village is that women support the family, and most of the men in the village are lazy. The inherent perception of the boss here is that teenage boys are uncertain. , Work is not as hard as girls, so girls are better at finding jobs."

Li Yiran: "How many years have passed like this? Why is it that almost no one in the village knows that you and A Cong have a good relationship?"

Xiaohe looked at him and smiled sarcastically: "Have you ever thought about a possibility: it's not that we don't want others to know, but that no one cares about us orphans at all? They avoid us like the plague, as if We really will depend on them!"

Jiang Wenchi: "If it was really because the chemical plant polluted the water source of Haixi Village by exceeding the standard, everyone in the village drank the same water, and almost every household had patients."

Xiaohe interrupted Jiang Wenchi: "What do you want to say?"

Jiang Wenchi: "They avoid you, maybe not because they are afraid that you will rely on them, but because they can't face their own conscience, because they can't help you, so they can only pretend not to see."

Xiaohe laughed suddenly: "I didn't expect that although you look more ruthless than that captain, you are also a virgin in your bones. But I'm really curious, if one day, when things happen to you, you can do the same." In other people's position', everything for the sake of others?"

Jiang Wenchi was taken aback, and suddenly remembered himself as an orphan in his previous life, and sighed silently: "Sometimes, 'standing in the position of others' is not 'considering others', but to let oneself 'let go of obsession' When you can understand that everyone has difficulties, you will not be attached to those who are indifferent and trapped in no one to care for you, because they are just ordinary people who are exhausted. Instead of placing hope on others, it is better to work hard Make yourself strong."

Xiaohe laughed loudly: "Ordinary people? Why do we have to do our best to get them just to live, and those people can get them easily? What you call 'ordinary people', in my eyes, are all The 'lucky ones' who are selfish and indifferent. They were not selected by pollution, and they were not troubled by tumors, so they can naturally act as 'ordinary people' and turn a blind eye to the suffering of others."

Jiang Wenchi realized that Xiaohe's obsession was too deep, so he stopped trying to persuade her.Instead, he continued to ask her: "How many years has A Cong lived with you? When did Mr. Zhai take him back?"

Xiaohe: "He has lived with us for a year and a half. Four years ago, Mrs. Zhai was ill. I wonder if Mrs. Zhai and his wife found out in conscience and wanted to take A Cong back. A Cong was unwilling at first, but I convinced him."

Jiang Wenchi: "A Cong listens to you very much?"

Xiaohe nodded: "A Cong is a child who knows how to repay his kindness. That's why he wants to use this method to help me get rid of the crime, but he has never participated in any of the things. This matter has nothing to do with him. "

Jiang Wenchi: "Really? Then why did he know that you poisoned Na Chun?"

Xiaohe was stunned, her eyes widened: "Impossible!"

Jiang Wenchi: "Perhaps you don't know yet, when we found Na Chun's body in the theater that day, we saw A Cong nearby."

Xiaohe's eyes turned red: "...it's impossible...when did he know...A Cong...it's impossible!"

Jiang Wenchi looked at Xiaohe's chaotic collapse, and sighed silently: "You don't let him participate because you want to protect him?"

Xiaohe nodded with red eyes, tears fell uncontrollably: "Why is he so stupid..."

Jiang Wenchi: "But in order to protect you, he left fingerprints on Nachun's body. In addition, we found the same soil composition as Li Jiaji's death scene in the fabric of Mutian's shoes."

Xiao He bit her lip, as if she was thinking about something rapidly.

Jiang Wenchi didn't give her a chance, and continued: "Ah Meng attacked the police today, causing our captain to be injured, and it is impossible to stay out of it. And you should know that even if you want to take all the blame on yourself, they and you are the same." The same idea, the end result is that none of you can escape."

Xiaohe let out a breath, as if she was about to give up.

Jiang Wenchi: "The clearer you explain, the clearer the judge's basis will be when defining the charges. At least, your original intention of keeping Ah Cong can be realized. If he really did not participate in the murder, he should not be sentenced severely. "

Xiaohe's shoulders slumped, she cried and laughed bitterly for a while, and said slowly: "Back then, after A Cong returned to his hometown in Zhai, we lived in peace for a few years until Juxing discovered the secret of sewage discharge in the factory. Juxing went to question Li Jiaji, but was beaten by Li Jiaji. It happened that Mutian came to the factory to find his sister, so he started a fight with Li Jiaji. I quickly went to Ah Meng for help. He even pulled out a gun to kill Mu Tian, ​​but when Ah Meng came, he knocked Li Jiaji unconscious from behind, and we took that gun away."

Li Yiran: "It was found that Li Jiaji had a gun. Why didn't you call the police for such a big matter?"

Jiang Wenchi: "According to the tradition in the village, when encountering problems, you will first go to the respected old villager to deal with it, so you didn't call the police, but went to the old villager. But you didn't expect that the old villager and Li Jiaji were in the same group ?”

Xiaohe nodded: "Yes. We never expected that after handing over the gun to Mr. Zhai, he would secretly return the gun to Li Jiaji. Fortunately, A Cong saw it."
