Mystery Hunter - Chapter 314

[Chapter 314 His Life]

That night Jiang He listened to Mr. Shao tell his story. It was a story that spanned a lot of time. Mr. Shao started telling it when he was thirty years old and went on to his sixty years old. For Shao Lao himself, these 60 years are destined to be extraordinary years, and he has devoted his whole life to his work.

Mr. Shao had never told anyone these words, Jiang He didn’t know why Mr. Shao would tell him these things. Although Jiang He knew that Shao Lao was unmarried all his life and had no girlfriend, but Jiang He knew for the first time today that Shao Lao had a fiancée when he was young.

Shao Lao’s fiancee, Yang Xiaojuan, blocked a bullet for Shao Lao and became a vegetable. She couldn’t speak, or even make a sound, she couldn’t move, not even move one of her little fingers. During the eight years when Yang Xiaojuan became a vegetative person, Shao Lao took care of her meticulously, and even for a while, Shao Lao once thought of committing suicide.

“What happened later?” Jiang He looked at the old man and couldn’t help but ask. If it was the previous Jiang He, he probably wouldn’t be interested in this matter.

“Later, I pulled the tube out myself.” Mr. Shao didn’t look at Jiang He, but at the few stars in the gray sky: “The doctor said he could live for a long time. For a vegetative person, Eight years is nothing. But you say that a person who lives by the tubes all over the body has no thoughts, no feelings, just a physical body that is barely alive, is she still alive?”

This is a philosophical question, What Jiang He disliked the most were these philosophical questions.

“I don’t know.” Jiang He told the truth: “However, technology is always improving, maybe one day a vegetative person can wake up.”

Shao Shao shook his head: “For eight years, she has been lying down, and there are many places on her body. Bedsore, it looks like a decaying corpse. When I met her, she was a beauty lover, and if she knew she would become like this, she would not accept it.”

“People are always growing. When I was your age, I was actually a very indecisive person.” Shao Lao finally looked at Jiang He: “She told me many times about getting married, but I was always afraid that there would be no way. Give her an explanation, I always feel that I am not ready. However, many things do not need to be prepared. People often say that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. In fact, it is not. Everything happens suddenly, you don’t need to prepare. , you just need to grab it.”

“The night I sent her to the cremation, I went to see Shi Huacheng.” Shao Lao took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, which were very old versions of cigarettes: “Shi Huacheng , the captain of the criminal police team, my former master, and the founder of the Tianyu Organization, it was his shot that made Juanjuan become a vegetable.”

Shao Lao looked at the cigarette in his hand: “I look at my beloved When the man turned into ashes, at that moment I wanted to kill Shi Huacheng. I didn’t say anything along the way, there was only one thought in my heart. But when I saw him, my anger disappeared. ”

Why?” Jiang He asked.

Shao Lao took out a lighter and lightly lit the cigarette: “Shi Huacheng’s daughter, Xiao Shishi, has leukemia, and the most advanced treatment methods can only prolong her life for a few years. In order to find a way to treat her daughter, he The Tianyu Organization was established to conduct experiments with living people.”

“Wei Demian is one of them,” Jiang He said.

Shao Lao took a puff of cigarette and kept coughing: “Yes, Wei Demian is one of them. Shi Huacheng has been a front-line criminal policeman for more than ten years, and he knows and knows various criminal organizations. He deceived all of us with fake death. , and then devoted himself to doing illegal experiments.”

“What about his daughter?” Jiang He asked while patting Old Shao on the back.

Shao Lao finally stopped coughing: “After Shi Huacheng was arrested, her daughter was handed over to me to take care of. Unfortunately, after five years, her daughter left because of the spread of cancer cells. I think from that time, his heart He died. Since some members of the Tianyu Organization escaped, in order to catch everyone, the police left his life, but after that day, he didn’t say a word.”

“I was on this side of the iron fence that day, and he was on the other side.” Shao Lao put the cigarette on his mouth again: “We both looked at each other and didn’t speak. He is much older, and he is no longer the one I knew. I could kill him at any time that day.”

Shao Lao looked at his hand: “But I didn’t do that, because if I did, I would be no different from him. I know he suffered, his only daughter , his beloved daughter has only a few years to live, and she may die at any time, which is unacceptable to any father. But his own pain is not the reason for others to suffer, those who were caught by him for experiments, those who were killed , is probably someone else’s daughter, someone else’s heart.”

“I understood at that time that death is not a terrible thing, the terrible thing is that you don’t know why you are alive.” Shao Lao shook his head: “Shi Huacheng is still alive. , but he is already dead, because he does not know why he is alive. I know why I am alive.”

Old Shao smoked a cigarette: “At that time, I knew that Shi Huacheng had an adopted daughter who escaped, and that girl was named Zhao Mingkun. She is a killer. I know she doesn’t want to kill in her heart, but Shi Huacheng raised her and she will do anything for Shi Huacheng. I have to catch her, that’s my only purpose.”

“At that time Wei Demian was detected with He is mentally ill and is locked in the Yuzhou City Mental Hospital. I sometimes go to the mental hospital to ask the doctor about Wei Demian’s mental condition, so that he can be transferred to prison. That is, in those two years, I met a genius mental patient, he He has a strong criminal profiling ability, which can help me catch Zhao Mingkun.”

The cigarette on Shao’s hand was more than half lit, and the ash was still on the cigarette, not scattered: “I was forty years old at that time, and Juanjuan had already left. It’s been two years for me. I want to capture all the members of the Tianyu organization, and do whatever it takes to do so.”

“Actually, I know that the helper I found is unusual. This person is called Wu Meng. The reason why he entered The mental hospital is because he arrested himself. At a murder scene where he could not appear, he thought he was the murderer. I have seen that case, and the method is very similar to the style of the Tianyu organization. I know that he is a key person. So I pulled him out of the mental hospital.”

Shao Lao lowered his head, his eyes were a little wet: “He is indeed very smart and a natural policeman. With his help, I captured Wu Zui, his twin brother, I captured Zhao Mingkun, Shi Huacheng’s adopted daughter, I I know that the Tianyu Organization has been completely destroyed at that moment.”

“I just missed a little, Wu Meng is a living person, he is a person with feelings.” Shao Lao rubbed his eyes with his other hand. , looked at Jiang He: “Wu Meng is a smart man, he immediately understood that I knew from the very beginning that his identity was unusual, but I never told him that he was an orphan and was always looking for his own life. But I didn’t tell him the clues I knew at the beginning.” The

smoke almost burned to Shao Lao’s finger: “Wu Meng almost collapsed, he regarded me as his relative, but I deceived him. In the end, he He chose to die with his own brother. In fact, with his smart IQ, he must have known that Wu Zui couldn’t escape, but he still chose to do it.” The

cigarette butt burned Lao Shao, and he hurriedly threw it on the ground: “I know that his death has nothing to do with me. That night, I was suddenly afraid of death. I was afraid to see him after I died, how should I tell him. Justice cannot be based on a person’s pain, otherwise That’s not justice.”

“I thought about it for a long time after that day, and to this day, I have been thinking about what justice is.” Shao Lao stomped on the cigarette butt on the ground: “Until that day, I was with someone older than me. When the old man was chatting, I learned what justice is.”

“What is justice?” Jiang He hurriedly asked.

Shao Lao shook his head, waved his hand and said to Jiang He, “I can’t describe it in words, it’s a feeling, maybe you’ll find it later. After that, I retreated to the second-tier, I went to teach at the university, and I published information about Criminal minds books. When I was about to go to France to find my old friend at the age of sixty, I found that black card in my pocket, which was left to me by Wei Demian.”

“I knew I couldn’t go, So he stayed and set up a task force and found you.” Elder Shao suddenly patted Jiang He’s shoulder: “I said, you have all lost your relatives, and you will no longer have the pain of relatives leaving, because of this pain you It has already happened.”

“There is no pain in the world that can defeat you. This is your armor and your weakness.” Shao Lao said: “You are sensitive, withdrawn, introverted, and you are like a freak in the crowd.”

Shao Lao sighed: ” Just like me. I have lived for so many years, and I have no so-called life experience. Life is just an experience, good or bad, what you like or not. I am sixty years old, and I will be caught with a crime. Advisor, I should leave now, but you are still young, and there is still a lot to do.”

“We are the police.” Elder Shao looked at Jiang He seriously: “So we are destined to see a lot of darkness and suffer a lot of pain, but also Because we are police officers, we have been pursuing truth and justice.”

Jiang He looked at Lao Shao, and he could no longer regard this person and the young police officer who carried him away from the fire as one person. But there was such a dazed moment, Jiang He felt that Shao Lao had not changed at all, he was still the young one, hugged himself tightly in his arms, and told himself not to be afraid of the police.

During the first meeting, Mr. Shao once asked Jiang He why he wanted to be a police officer, but Jiang He could not answer. But at this time, Jiang He faintly had an answer in his heart.
