female catcher

Chapter 61

Su Zhen didn't realize what the meaning of "returned" meant for a while, and he was stunned for a moment before he suddenly remembered that he told Xia Chu that he had gone out the last time we met, so he nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I just came back."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly remembered that their hands were still holding each other, so they quickly let go, and bowed their hands to each other as a salute.Su Zhen looked at the clothes on Xia Chu's body, and said with a smile, "These are very energetic clothes?"

"It's a headhunter."

"Oh yes, Xia Butou, sorry for your disrespect."

"Why are you here?" the two asked in unison.

"I'm here to investigate the case." Xia Chu glanced at the cliff and said with a wry smile: "I almost became a case in the end, and I have to thank Mr. Huang for the timely rescue. Isn't one meal not enough now?"

Su Zhen smiled and said, "Is your monthly money still enough?"

"If you don't have enough this month, you can ask for it next month." Xia Chu secretly rubbed his palms, trying to erase the feeling of Su Zhen pulling her just now.She has never held hands with other men in such a big age, so why does the feeling in the palm of her hand be so strange?

"Twisted your hand?"

"No." Xia Chu shook his hand, "Why did you come up the mountain from here?"

"It's quiet here." Su Zhen looked at her, "Fortunately, he came from here."

Xia Chu scratched embarrassingly, "I made Mr. Huang laugh! Why, did Mr. Huang come to the mountain for a green trip? Or to worship Buddha?"

"Not at all." Su Zhen was silent, "Today is my mother's birthday."

Xia Chu gave a silent 'oh', and walked slowly forward together with him, the shoes stepped on the gravel, making a fine and rough sound of clicking.

"Why don't you go to Yunjing Temple?" Xia Chu asked out of words.

"When my mother was not married, she liked to come to Wanfo Temple every year on the Shangsi Festival, to celebrate her birthday with her handkerchief, to go outing, and then kneel in front of the Buddha to make a new year's wish."

"Then what she promised later must be that you are safe and happy." Xia Chu smiled at him.

Su Zhen also smiled lightly, but shook his head, "She hasn't been here since she got married."

"That doesn't matter." Xia Chu looked up at the blue sky, suddenly a little sad, after a moment of silence, he said slowly: "I remember my mother took me to a temple when I was young."

Su Zhen walked slowly and listened quietly.

"At that time, I didn't understand anything. When I entered the dark hall and saw a huge person sitting, I was so frightened that I burst into tears." Xia Chu was immersed in the memory and laughed at himself.

"My mother took me out, wiped my tears, and told me that the huge man was the Buddha, the most compassionate and the best person in the world. She also said that she had already told the Buddha that Xiachu was the best and most beautiful person. Good boy, the Buddha will love me very much and make me safe and happy."

Su Zhen turned to look at Xia Chu, "Your mother is very kind to you."

"How can a mother treat her child badly?" Xia Chu narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and let it out slowly, "I don't know if the Buddha loves me or not, but I know that my mother loves me very much. She is the Buddha in my heart, although she is no longer by my side, she must hope that I am safe and happy."

"Really..." Su Zhen looked down at the gravel on the road, as if asking himself.

"Yes. Mr. Huang, even if Lingtang doesn't come to Wanfo Temple, she definitely wants you to be safe and happy. Mothers are like this." Xia Chu smiled lightly, and his tone was warm and light like the wind in early March.

There was a clear sound of chime and bowl from Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, Su Zhen looked at Chu Xia and didn't speak.

After walking this short distance, I quickly returned to the small gate.The door had already been opened at some point, Xia Chu and Su Zhen approached, seeing An Liang poking his head out, and seeing Xia Chu was also quite surprised.

"Master Xia? Why are you here?"

"Investigate the case." Xia Chu said with a smile, "I said why I didn't see you today, so you were hiding here."

"It's not hiding! Hey, Mr. Xia looks really good in the clothes of the policeman."

"It's a headhunter." Before Xia Chu could speak, Su Zhen spoke for her first.

Xia Chu couldn't help laughing out loud, and waved his hand at Su Zhen, "There are still many things to ask about the case, Mr. Huang, remember to come to me when you are free, and I will treat you to dinner."

"Okay." Su Zhen nodded, watching Xia Chu run to the temple.

An Liang glanced at Su Zhen in surprise, "Did the slave hear me wrong? Please eat?"

"something wrong?"

"The slave is talking too much." An Liang bowed his head to get out of the way, "Master Yunkong is already waiting for you in the Zen garden."

The grass in the Zen courtyard of Wanfo Temple has turned green, and water from the Zhuo spring has been diverted from the courtyard into a small pond.The soft sound of running water is the keynote, the courtyard is full of tranquility, occasionally a small carp jumps out of the water and splashes small splashes, like a wrong sound in a song, bringing Su Zhen back to his senses.

"The benefactor is not calm." Master Yunkong said.

"This is my mother's first birthday." Su Zhen turned his head, "I can't remember what I was doing on her birthday last year. I blamed her when she was alive, and now I regret that I missed it." During those times, it seemed that I had done nothing for her."

Yun Kong chuckled, "The Buddha said that love is parting, but after parting you know it is love."

Su Zhen was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "On the way here, I was still thinking, I am not a good son, and I don't know if the mother is a good mother. It seems that we have never had the opportunity to understand each other. The fate of mother and child I just finished it in a hurry. If my mother is still there, I would like to know if what I did is what she expected..."

"Almsgiver, all your mother desires is your peace."

Su Zhen shook his head, smiled wryly, "Master doesn't understand my mother..."

"I understand." Yun Kong interrupted him, and then smiled quietly, "Mothers in the world are all of one mind."

Su Zhen was startled for a while, as if the sound of the chime bowl just now came back to him leisurely, hitting his heart, and suddenly made him feel a little sad.The sadness is not strong, as if the spring water is soaked in old tea, which slowly takes on a bitter color and releases an astringent taste.

He is used to being called Concubine Mu and Queen Mother, and also used to her power and majesty in governing the harem, used to be in awe, used to speculate, and used to the barrier between them.It was because he thought too much, but he lacked pure admiration.

Xia Chu said: "You must be safe and happy in Lingtang. Mothers are like this."

Yun Kong said: "Mothers in the world are all of one mind."

In fact, no matter what she did, it was only his mother, and in the end she saved his mother with her life.

After looking at the place where the body was dumped at the beginning of Xia, he felt that Liu Ying's medical examination had to be discussed, so he went straight to Mrs. Liu's room after returning from the monastery.

Mr. Liu and Liu Song, the son of the Liu family, had rushed over after hearing the bad news, and were sitting in Mrs. Liu's room. When Xia Chu came in, Liu Song got up to greet him.

Xia Chu returned the salute with him, and then bowed his hands to Master Liu, "Master Liu, the young Xia Chu is the head arrester of the government office."

Liu Zhong glanced at her, his eyes full of distrust, "Are you a headhunter?"

"Exactly."

Liu Zhong snorted coldly, "Is there no one in the government office? Find a boy with no teeth to be a head catcher."

Xia Chu was very upset when he heard this, and replied with a serious face: "The former Catcher Zhao has all his teeth, but he made unjust prisons and arrested people indiscriminately, and finally asked to be executed after autumn. Mr. Liu, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. , is this time to assess whether the officials will not succeed?"

"Presumptuous!" Liu Zhong slapped the table and stood up, "Only you can investigate the case?! My daughter has been dead for almost two days now, have you caught anyone yet?! What do government officials do for food! "

It's unreasonable!

Xia Chu also became angry, and sarcastically said in a cold voice: "Why don't you tie me up and send me to the government office? Since you don't care who is the real murderer, as long as you catch someone, then arresting someone is not arresting."

"Bastard! Such a thing should be said by a policeman!"

"What should the policeman say? Master Liu, have you given me a chance to speak since I entered the door?

Liu Song saw that the little catcher was very aggressive, so he hurried forward to start a fight, persuaded his father and then persuaded Xia Chu, "Don't be surprised by the catcher Xia, anyone who has such a thing in the family will feel uncomfortable, and lose his temper for a while. There are some things you can’t hold back, you just have to bear with it.”

Knowing that what he said was right, Xia Chu's anger went down a lot. Thinking of the medical examination, he felt that Liu Zhong couldn't just suppress it, otherwise it would never be done.

"Mr. Liu is a sensible person, so let me ask you, what is your father's anger? Is it because our government has not arrested people until now, or we have been passive and sabotaged and failed to investigate the case? Is it doubting my lack of ability, or is it because I think I am young?" Small? Please give me a good word, so I can see how to solve it."

"This..." Liu Song smiled wryly, and thought to himself, how can I ask you this!

Liu Zhong also heard it from the side. Although he was still angry, he really couldn't answer Xia Chu's question, so he was stunned for a long time without saying a word, and then said coldly: "What are you going to say? ?”

Xia Chu cleared his throat, "It is our duty to investigate the case. But the cooperation of the victim's family is also very important to us. If you don't cooperate, we will be powerless. I don't know if you have any doubts ?”

Liu Zhong didn't speak, Liu Song looked at his father's expression, and said: "Of course there is no doubt. What do you need to ask, what do you need us to do, Xia Butou, you can say yes, of course we will fully cooperate."

"Well, you must have seen the condition of Ling'ai's corpse. We suspect that Ling'ai was violated before she died, but it's just a suspicion and cannot be confirmed. Because there is no autopsy."

Liu Zhong frowned and looked at Xia Chu, "Didn't you already experience it?"

"The most critical link is missing." Xia Chu finished speaking and looked at Liu Zhong. Liu Zhong didn't understand for a while, and after thinking about it for a while, he realized what Xia Chu said, and couldn't help but violently said, "It's unreasonable! Don't even think about it! "

Xia Chu was not annoyed, and said kindly: "I understand that as a parent, it is difficult to accept emotionally. But I also ask Mr. Liu to think about it. The deceased is gone. Is it important for those so-called innocence, or is it still important?" Justice for the dead is more important."

After finishing speaking, she turned to Mrs. Liu again, "Since Madam has practiced Buddhism, she should understand what the Buddhists say. The body is nothing but the soul of this life. If it makes your love's soul restless, what's the point of keeping a skin empty?" ? That skin is empty, in fact, it is not your daughter anymore."

Early Xia pretended to look at the ceiling, "Your love is probably watching too..."

Mrs. Liu also raised her head, was stunned for a while, and cried again, "Daughter..."

After a lot of all-round lobbying from psychology to metaphysics, from pressure to comfort, the Liu family finally agreed to the autopsy, but they did not agree to the male Yang Wuzuo to do it.

Xia Chu felt that this concession was enough, so he asked Wu Sanjin to go back to the city quickly, and went to the Planting Flower Hall to find the woman who was in charge of the physical examination of the girl in the building.
