Abyss of ignorance

Chapter 17 The Goat
"Bureau Chen, the lawyer Jiang Wanchao hired for Jiang Xu has arrived." Yue Jianfeng was somewhat relaxed when he said this, "However, Jiang Xu has recruited basically everything here."

"He wants to say everything before the lawyer arrives." Chen Yu said with a sullen face.

"Looking at it this way, it's not easy for Jiang Wanchao. There is such a troublesome son at home. I saw him so angry this morning, and now I have to find a lawyer for Jiang Xu."

"Jiang Wanchao just doesn't want to get involved in scandals." Chen Yu hit the nail on the head.

"It's really incomprehensible why this Jiang Xu is targeting his father so much." Yue Jianfeng said in confusion.

Chen Yu stood in front of the one-way glass with his hands behind his back, staring at Jiang Xu next door, without saying a word, what came to mind was the 17-year-old boy with a bright smile on his back, who appeared at the door with his schoolbag on his back and enthusiastically called Chen Yu uncle.

At this time, Jiang Xu stared at the one-way glass with a belated youthful expression, not knowing whether he was looking at himself in the mirror, or knowing that Chen Yu was behind the mirror, and suddenly smiled, horribly .

In a nursing home more than ten kilometers away from this dark interrogation room, Lin Xiaodong and Ye Mimi sat on a bench under a camphor tree, surrounded by sunshine, and the years were quiet.

"Do you think I will believe your reason for this elementary school math problem?" Lin Xiaodong put one hand on the back of the bench, looked ahead and said to Ye Mimi beside him.

"I don't care if you believe it or not. I just think that you're lost again. From the beginning to the end, you shouldn't focus on me."

"You started again." Lin Xiaodong smiled wryly.

"what?"

"Start brainwashing me."

"I just say what I want to say, and your own thinking will be messed up. You don't need me to brainwash you."

"Thinking confused? I can be regarded as an excellent people's policeman who has made first-class meritorious service. You can't question my professional ability like this."

"In the valley, once, I found the footprints of a wild goat. It passed the same trail every day. I took it for granted that I set up traps where it passed, thinking that this way I could eat fresh mutton. I thought it was right The ground made a noose out of vines, and as long as its hoof touched the mechanism, the noose would tie it, and the more it struggled, the tighter it became, and it was impossible to escape. However, when I went to check with confidence the next day, I saw The trap was empty, and the goat had no shadow. On the second day and the third day, it was still the same. The wild goat seemed to have sensed the danger, and never passed this road again. I don't believe that the goat can have such wisdom, there must be What details I didn't care about. I was determined to figure out what went wrong."

"How did you do it?" Lin Xiaodong was not distracted by Ye Mimi's "changing the topic", on the contrary, he listened very carefully, because he knew that every time Ye Mimi told him about his experience of surviving in the wild, he Overtones are always heard.

"I retraced the path that the goat walked, and found nothing. Its footprint ended in a swift stream, and there were only a few big rocks out of the water that the goat could jump over. It was dangerous to wade through, but I knew that, If I don’t understand this failure, I still won’t be able to catch goats next time. In the wild, failure is death. Survival is the ultimate principle of every decision I make. I waited for five consecutive sunny days, the stream water The current was not so urgent, I stepped out of the scope of my observation and went to the opposite bank. Sure enough, I found the answer there.

There is a small grassland on the opposite bank, and the alfalfa on the ground has been eaten away.It passes that route every day to go to the opposite bank to look for food, and when I set the trap, the grass has been eaten up, so it will naturally not come again.The reason for everything is that I didn't extend the line of observation long enough, I only saw a part of it, and thought that this was the whole truth.

Because I wanted to catch goats so much, I later learned that in addition to observing the route of the prey, I also need to know its destination, why it walked like this, and figure out its desire and fear. Only in this way can I eat it. Delicious protein, fat, get the trace elements my body needs to survive.

Before I fell into the abyss, I was just a middle school student, a girl with nothing to do. I am not a natural hunter. A skilled hunter has to go through countless actual battles and accumulate experience over the years.Goat, not my first kill, nor my last. "

"So, you are not Gao Hanyu's first assassination target, nor will you be the last." Lin Xiaodong listened attentively and continued.

"I'm just talking about goats." Ye Mimi brushed her long hair that was blown a little messy by the wind, and then stood up, "You and I have talked for long enough, Captain Lin, an excellent people's policeman, Can you spare your precious time today to go in and chat with grandma for a while?"

"Tsk, I said, what's the matter with you always caring about my affairs with grandma?"

"Because your grandma misses you so much, and I want her to be happy, that's all."

"You are trying to make up for the guilt of using my grandma."

"I have never felt guilty in my twenty-odd years of life, and I believe you are the same now, and I hope you will always be in the future." Ye Mimi said, turned around and walked out gracefully.

Lin Xiaodong looked at her back, still thinking about what she said just now, some of which he understood, some of which he didn't.

Seeing Lin Xiaodong who had gone back and forth, Grandma Zhang had a happy smile on her wrinkled face, but she said, "Xiaodong, why haven't you returned to the Public Security Bureau yet?"

"Today is a day off, I will accompany you." Lin Xiaodong sat down beside Grandma Zhang and said affectionately with his arms around her shoulders.

Grandma Zhang patted the back of Lin Xiaodong's hand lightly with her old hand: "Grandma doesn't need to accompany her, work is important."

Lin Xiaodong's eye sockets were hot and moist.The days of running around and setbacks were broken by grandma's loving understanding at this moment.

"I'll peel an orange for you." He hurriedly picked up the orange on the coffee table, hiding his gaffe.

"Speaking of which, I think you and Xiaoye have been chatting outside for so long, what have you talked about?" Grandma Zhang asked expectantly, and Lin Xiaodong knew she must have misunderstood it.

"Grandma, it's impossible between me and her."

"What's the matter, Xiaoye is really a good girl. Grandma has lived for more than [-] years, so she still has a good eye for people. You should have some snacks. You have to take the initiative in this kind of thing. I think Xiaoye is alone. It was not easy in Linzhou. I told me today that I had to apologize to her when I encountered a mental illness before Chinese New Year, saying that he killed her and pestered her for a long time, saying that that person insisted on telling her what she was. Mrs. Chen, talking nonsense, scared the little girl quite a lot. At that time, if she had a boyfriend like you who was a policeman by her side, wouldn't it be okay? "

"What?" Lin Xiaodong stopped peeling the orange, "Grandma, what else did she tell you?"
