Chapter 220
Gao Jin's voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear him clearly.
To everyone's surprise, Jiang Xun, who got the news, was not as overjoyed and sad as expected, and even reacted rather indifferently, but responded lightly: "Well, I see, just follow the procedure, don't worry about it." I."
Gao Jin on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, "...don't you come back and take a look?"
"First, I didn't kill the person. Although I have a motive for killing, I also have an alibi. After investigating this point, I will know that I am innocent. Second, even if I go back, he will not be able to come back from the dead. My relationship with him is not so good that I am anxious to see him for the last time. I am now suspended for review, and I cannot interfere in matters related to him. This is also to avoid suspicion, so it is best for me not to participate in any accidents. "
"You boy... I didn't come to you to tell you this! The murderer has been found."
"I can guess."
"It's Yin." Gao Jin sighed, "Last night, he suddenly told the task force that he had something to explain, but he had to see Jiang Yu, a vegetable, and a half-paralyzed man. The higher-ups felt that he couldn't make any trouble, so they agreed. He agreed to his request, but no one thought that he would secretly unplug Jiang Yu, and he was not found out until he died in the middle of the night."
"What about Yin Gu?"
"Still being rescued. During interrogation this morning, his asthma relapsed, bronchospasm, respiratory failure, pulmonary circulation congestion, and left heart failure. The hospital issued a critical illness notice. He may not be able to survive."
Yin Gu's feelings for Jiang Yu turned sour, and he took the most extreme way, which did not surprise Jiang Xun. As early as when he pulled Jiang Yu to jump to the ruins that were about to collapse, Jiang Xun guessed that sooner or later they would have such a day, It's just that even though Jiang Yu had become a living dead, Yin Gu still didn't let him go.
If Jiang Yu was conscious, what would he be thinking when Yin Gu pulled out his oxygen tube?
Jiang Xun shook his head. He never wanted to put himself in the shoes of the two criminals to understand the thoughts of the two criminals. After thinking about it for a long time, he only responded with "Got it" and hung up the phone.
Song Yuzhi looked at him worriedly, "Are you really not going back?"
"At least not now."
Together, Jiang Xun and Xiao Shi carried Jiang Juan, who was physically handicapped, to the wheelchair, moved his injured leg, which could not be bent, to the bracket and put it in place, then walked around to Jiang Juan's right side, and said to Song Yuzhi in an inaudible voice: "I'm here to atone for him, and it's only fair that he have to taste the consequences."
Song Yuzhi respected his choice, and covered Jiang Juan's lower body with a thin blanket. The latter looked at him, and suddenly said for no reason: "The peach tree in the backyard bears fruit, Xiao Xun, you and Xiao Shi go pick it." A few."
It was obvious that they wanted to drive them away. The two of them saw the truth, and went out together. Only Song Yuzhi and Jiang Juan, two former love rivals, were left in the room. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
Song Yuzhi couldn't help coughing twice, and looked up at him cautiously. When he met Shangjiang Juan's eyes, the tense feeling made him a little uncomfortable.
"That wound was very painful." Jiang Juan touched his shoulder, opened the neckline, and revealed a dot-shaped scar. The wound was not big, but it was enough to penetrate the body.
He still has a fresh memory of the scene when Song Yuzhi stabbed him. The eyes that wished to swallow him alive had appeared in his nightmares several times, making him fall into deep fear.
"Brother Jiang, I'm sorry."
"You don't need to apologize. If I were you, I would definitely do something worse. Thinking about my revenge on him at that time, it was really despicable and disgusting. After I calmed down, I really regretted it, but I Unable to change what has happened, I have been blaming myself and suffering for it all the time. After knowing the truth, Xiao Xun always felt guilty towards me and dared not face me. From that moment on, I knew that in the days to come , the chances of us meeting again are numbered."
Song Yuzhi was noncommittal, "If you can't let go of the grievances and the past of the two generations, as well as the feelings and nostalgia you once had, maybe we won't see each other, it's good for you both."
Jiang Juan turned his head away, clenched his hands into fists, and bit his lower lip tightly to suppress his agitated mood.
"We were very young when we met." Jiang Juan said after he calmed down a bit, "He lacked family affection since he was a child, and only his mother grew up with him, which made him cold-tempered. He is not a heartless person , It is precisely because the feelings hidden deep in his heart yearn for a destination that he dare not abuse his feelings, dare not give his heart easily, for fear of being let down. Now he wants to trust someone wholeheartedly, and he does not know how long it will take , but at that time, his mind was still very simple, he had no concept of pain, and would always actively follow behind me, yelling 'Brother' one after another, making people not annoying."
When recalling the past, Jiang Juan's eyes showed a tender look that Song Yuzhi had never seen before.
In my impression, this man either had to pretend to be himself with a casual and relaxed attitude, or his temperament changed drastically under the double torment of spirit and heart. He was ruthless and decisive. Song Yuzhi suddenly realized that this moment is Jiang Juan's truest appearance. It was also the person Jiang Xun knew the most and loved the most.
"When we were together, we were all poor students. We all had to worry about our tuition fees and livelihood. We did odd jobs outside of class. During the holidays, we were reluctant to eat a piece of lunch meat. In the past, in order to save money, he always Skipping breakfast and dinner ruined his body. Once he fainted due to stomach cramps. Since then, I have forced him to eat three meals a day and made soup for him every day. It took him more than a year to restore his body. When you are with him in the future, you can make more soup for him, he is very picky, he only likes to eat things with strong flavor, fish soup, chicken soup, beef bone soup, he likes to drink..."
As he spoke, Jiang Juan choked up and covered his mouth, tears could not stop falling, "He never told me, but I know that after the bombing, he lost his sense of taste and couldn't taste anything he ate. , you have to let him eat those spicy things, don't let him always stimulate his sense of taste, this will only cause secondary damage to the body. His lungs are injured, he must quit smoking, and it may be wet and seasonal in the future It causes discomfort, and coughing must not be ignored. He is a man with a hard mouth and a soft heart, and he will always say something against his will to hurt others, but that is not his original intention. If you indulge him, don't spoil him, otherwise He will suffer. He has a lot of bad habits, you are more tolerant of him, take care of him, don't let him harm yourself..."
Up to this point, he was sobbing. Letting go of the relationship of so many years is not easy, it is no different from pulling away from the heart.
The tearing pain made his soul groan. After saying this, he felt that his bone marrow was empty, leaving only a broken body like a walking dead, and the last light in his eyes was also dimmed.
Song Yuzhi covered the back of his veined hand with his palm, and stretched out his five fingers, "Brother Jiang, don't worry, as long as I live, the rest of his life will be as you wish."
"I received your answer the moment you came down from Lingge Mountain. Jiang Xun is a person blessed by a heroic spirit. If you treat him well, you will never suffer."
At this time, there were footsteps outside the door, and both of them stopped talking. Jiang Juan wiped the tears on his face, and looked clear and cold again.
Jiang Xun came in with a fruit plate, forked a piece of peach and brought it to Jiang Juan's mouth, "Jian, this peach tree in your house is really amazing, the peaches are as big as a fist, pink and tender , sweet and crunchy, try a piece."
Xiao Shi kicked him behind him, "He's controlling his diet, so stop feeding him and give him your own food!"
Jiang Xun gave him a white look, then looked at Jiang Juan, and seeing the man shaking his head helplessly, he knew that the words were true, and he couldn't force it, so he could only stuff the piece of fruit into Song Yuzhi's mouth.
Jiang Juan said: "Pick some more and take them home before you leave. My dad took my brother and I to plant this tree when I was young. I didn't expect it to bloom and bear fruit after so many years without anyone taking care of it. Take one to see my brother later, he doesn’t like to waste, it’s fine if he wants to, don’t need to prepare too many offerings, just let him have a taste..."
Thinking of the peach tree in the martyr's cemetery, which still stands next to Jiangzhu's tomb and wordless stele, everyone was abnormally silent.
It was Jiang Juan who spoke first, "Xiao Shi, get ready, it's almost time, let's go see my brother together." He paused, his voice was heavy and hoarse, "Today is my brother's birthday."
After Jiang Zhu passed away, Jiang Juan had to reject the bureau's offer to let Jiang Zhu be buried in the martyr's cemetery in order to take over his brother's identity and go back to his hometown alone. places I know.
The mountain road was rugged, and the car and wheelchair had to stop at the foot of the mountain. Everyone took turns carrying Jiang Juan and sent him up the mountain step by step.
In the summer season, asters are blooming all over the mountains, and on the top of the mountain, under a tall ginkgo tree, stands a tombstone quietly.
After approaching, Jiang Juan couldn't wait to bend down, put his palm on the stele, and slid his fingertips through the grooves engraved with words, feeling the cool touch.
In Jiangzhu's real burial place, his name is clearly written on his stele, and he does not need to be buried in the ground as anyone's substitute, he is just himself.
In the past ten years, it was only here that Jiang Juan could truly let go of his disguise and be himself.
"Brother, I took them to see you." He called softly, "Let me introduce you, this is Song Yuzhi, Xiao Xun's lover, a very reliable person, regardless of his youth, he is more mature than Xiao Xun in many ways , is much better than him, Xiao Xun is with him, I feel at ease. They are getting married soon, and they all come to see you together today, before they open their mouths, let me ask you for blessings."
Hearing that he was crying again, Xiao Shi interjected at the right time, breaking the heavy atmosphere: "I wish them an early birth."
"Fuck you..." Jiang Xun kicked him.
Xiao Shi took out a tissue, dipped it in water and handed it to Song Yuzhi, and the two wiped Jiang Zhu's tombstone together, Jiang Juan said again: "Brother, although this bastard surnamed Xiao has changed a lot, you don't need me to remind you, you must still remember it." He... In the days to come, I will have him to accompany me, if he treats me badly, you can take him away together. "
Xiao Shi smiled, and the eyes he was looking at each other contained some rare and unfamiliar emotions. Jiang Juan knew that it was love—although before that, that person had never bothered to give him this unique emotion, but He recognized the look.
"Jiang Zhu, listen to what your brother said, it's really getting more and more ruthless, I dare not say some things in front of him, when are you free, remember to entrust me with a dream, I have to tell you well This condition, if you don’t care about it, no one will be able to cure him in the future.”
Everyone was amused by these words, and even Jiang Juan raised the corners of his mouth slightly. This was the only other emotion he showed besides sadness and pain these days.
"There is also a small punishment." Jiang Juan looked up at Jiang Xun, smiled at the tombstone, "It's been ten years, I should describe our relationship in a different way, he is my... former lover , is also your other younger brother."
Jiang Zhu stretched out his arms, embraced the cold tombstone, and said with tears in his eyes: "I know you have been guarding him, I know, whether it is the encounter with Song Yuzhi, or his survival in danger again and again, it is you Help him secretly, if he is in danger in the future, you have to protect him like you protect me, you know."
The breeze blows, blowing off the green fans on the branches.
Jiang Xun took off the ginkgo leaves that fell on Jiang Juan's head, pressed the lighter that Jiang Zhu had given him before his death, and put them together in front of Jiang Zhu's stele, pressed the back of the man's hand that was covering the stele, and clasped his hand. With five fingers, said hoarsely:
"Jiang Zhu, I will return the lighter to you. Your younger brother will not return it. He has someone better to take care of him. He can't ask me for it in the future, but I can help you look after him so that his grandson surnamed Xiao won't bully him. he."
