Chapter 75 Hug

Click. Click.

Ji Lin's wrists and ankles were locked with electronic handcuffs and electronic anklets by the police.

"Ji Lin, although you have been acquitted, you still have the obligation to cooperate with our investigation during this period."

Officer Liu looked at Ji Lin who had installed the electronic tracking device and instructed:

"You can move freely during this period, but the range is limited to Donghai City. If you go beyond the range, these electronic anklets with positioning systems will automatically alarm, and we always know where you are."

"So, don't run around, just stay within the scope of Donghai City. We won't interfere too much in your life. I still hope that if you have anything to explain or provide any clues, please contact our staff in time."

Then, Ji Lin stood up, yawned, and stretched.

Go out.

His driver had been waiting at the door for a long time. After opening the door for him, he drove away from the Donghai Public Security Bureau.

...

The next day.

The Donghai Public Security Bureau issued multiple notices, announcing that the 00:42 serial murder case was completely solved and the mastermind behind it was finally caught.

The people of Donghai City cheered and were excited.

Chu Shanhe sat in his living room, reading the Donghai Daily that had just been delivered in the morning...

On the front page of the news, a black and white photo of Ji Xinshui was printed, and a series of his crimes were listed in detail.

Including the murder of Xu Yun, Tang Xin, Dr. Ponsmai and other unknown cases.

The hypocrisy of Academician Lyon was also completely revealed, and everyone was shocked. This respected great inventor was actually the same as Ji Xinshui, with many bad behaviors of academic fraud, academic fraud, and academic theft.

Also exposed was the crime of Sergeant Sam, who was the executor of the murder.

According to the notice of the Donghai police, this trio is the culprit of a series of recent murders of scientists.

Only these three people were exposed.

Chu Shanhe looked at the report and fell into deep thought...

Ji Lin and Zhou Duanyun's crimes were not mentioned in the external reports.

This was Lin Xian's intention.

He and Officer Liu didn't know the meaning of Lin Xian's doing this, but they both chose to believe Lin Xian.

This smart young man must have his unknown plan.

All they can do.

is to wait silently... wait for Lin Xian to surprise this society and this world again.

"Sure enough, there are talented people in every generation."

Chu Shanhe shook his head and smiled, and continued to turn to the next page of the newspaper:

"It's really not possible to refuse to admit that you are old. In the future, this world will still rely on young people..."

On the second page, a huge photo was published in the upper part -

Lin Xian's handsome formal photo.

The entire page was reporting Lin Xian's "great achievements", telling about what he did when he was seconded to the Donghai Public Security Bureau, from chasing the murderer's taxi alone to designing an ambush to arrest Ji Xinshui, it was simply to blow Lin Xian into the reincarnation of Sherlock Holmes, the real James Bond!

At the end of the report, it was written that the Donghai City government was considering holding a special commendation meeting for Lin Xian, granting him corresponding honors, and holding a city-wide spiritual study meeting.

Chu Shanhe nodded with satisfaction.

That's right.

He had long felt that it should be so, and this was the honor that Lin Xian deserved.

It was just that Lin Xian had always been very resistant to this and declined several times, so the Donghai City government had no choice.

After this incident, Lin Xian finally accepted it with great reluctance.

"Donghai City needs more role models like you."

This is what Chu Shanhe told Lin Xian.

Every man has a responsibility for the rise and fall of the world. It should also be an unshirkable obligation to promote some positive energy for the society and establish some positive images for the majority of young people to learn from.

However...

These things will only be considered after Ji Xinshui's case is completely over and the final plan mentioned by Lin Xian is successful.

Chu Shanhe closed the newspaper and put it on the coffee table.

Then he leaned back, crossed his arms, leaned against the soft sofa, and frowned slightly:

"What is Lin Xian's final plan...what is it going to do?"

"Hasn't he already let Ji Lin go? Is there any other trick?"

...

MX Company, 20th floor, Lin Xian's office.

On Lin Xian's desk, there was also this morning's Donghai Daily.

He looked at the front-page news and Ji Xinshui's photo.

At present, Ji Xinshui's death sentence is a foregone conclusion, and he has no objection or desire to appeal, so the death penalty will be executed immediately. At most, he will be executed by injection in ten days or half a month.

In this report, not only Zhou Duanyun's name and crimes were completely erased, but Zheng Chenghe's name was not mentioned at all.

Because first of all, Zheng Chenghe did not commit any crime, and because the tires had obvious signs of braking and avoiding, no substantial casualties were caused.

What's more, Zheng Chenghe had no criminal record and was law-abiding. Even Ji Xinshui did not explain any evidence of his involvement in the crime. After many considerations, and also considering the pitiful life experiences of the siblings and Zheng Xiangyue's unstable health condition, the report did not mention Zheng Chenghe at all. As for the fact that he did have a motive to kill in the beginning, it was not pursued.

"Good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil."

Lin Xian muttered to himself the words that Zheng Chenghe often said to Zheng Xiangyue:

"Perhaps this is a reward for your good deeds."

Close the newspaper.

The humble, polite and gentle man appeared in front of Lin Xian's eyes.

Although the entire right side of his face is covered with ferocious scars, he doesn't feel scary at all. He really looks like a reliable and gentle big brother.

Lin Xian guessed...

Ji Xinshui must have thought that Zheng Chenghe had experienced such a miserable childhood, and had seen his parents beaten to death, and was bitten by a dog to protect his sister... Then such a person must be cynical, resentful, world-weary and Grumpy.

That's why he took Zheng Chenghe as his subordinate and raised him as a dead soldier.

Such a desperado with a miserable life and weaknesses should be the best tool and the most loyal lackey. He will do anything that violates moral laws for his sister.

Ji Xinshui must have believed so.

That’s why he gave Zheng Chenghe a title that symbolized ruthless violence among the seven deadly sins——

fury】.

Think according to common sense.

Zheng Chengha is indeed the most suitable person to become an angry person. His life, his experience,

His ordeal destined him to be an angry man.

even……

Everyone could accept and understand his rage. Even if he really picked up the hammer and was filled with rage to avenge the blood of his dead parents, it was within Lin Xian's expectation.

Unfortunately.

After all, Ji Xinshui underestimated human nature, and Zheng Chenghe also underestimated his inner conscience.

The unfortunate person who should be the most angry becomes kind and calm under the gentle influence of this world. 】

Perhaps this is the power of being friendly.

Zheng Xiangyue's smiling face, Xu Yun's usual care for their brother and sister, and the Rhine cat he gave to Zheng Xiangyue on his birthday... all became the holy water that purified Zheng Chenghe.

Lin Xian was very happy with this outcome.

At least... in Zheng Xiangyue's mind, his favorite brother is still the indomitable hero.

Now, recalling that Huang Que specially led her to the hospital to see Zheng Chenghe, what was her purpose?

Do you want to tell yourself that Zheng Chenghe is the murderer who is about to kill him?

Or……

Zheng Chenghe is the only good person with conscience among the seven deadly sins? Hinting that if he wants to win this cat-and-mouse game, he can start with Zheng Chenghe?

Lin Xian scratched his head.

From the perspective of God and hindsight, it seems that if we had realized this earlier, this cat-and-mouse game could have been won more easily and more beautifully.

but!

"You always make such a Riddler, who can guess it!"

Lin Xian couldn't help but complain about Huang Que.

Sister, can you be more direct if you want to do good things in the future?

Inexplicably, it almost led me astray.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell—

At this time, the phone rang.

Caller ID, Donghai City Funeral Home.

After answering the phone, the staff there told him that he could come to collect Zheng Chenghe's ashes. The deceased's body had been burned and placed in an urn.

Lin Xian hung up the phone, went downstairs, and took a taxi to the Donghai City Funeral Home.

In the past six months, this was Lin Xian's third visit to this place. He had said goodbye to so many old friends and relatives that he had become accustomed to and insensitive to the unique smell of oil smoke in the funeral home.

The first time he came here was to attend Xu Yun's memorial service. He felt uncomfortable with the smell and cries in the entire funeral home.

The second time he came here was to collect Tang Xin's ashes with Tang Xin's parents and brother. He was very angry at the time... but he no longer felt anything special about the smell or the cry.

And this third time.

Lin Xian got out of the taxi, took the familiar route to the ashes storage and collection area, completed various procedures skillfully, and walked out holding Zheng Chenghe's gentle urn...

Feel nothing.

With ease.

It's like coming home.

"So light..."

Lin Xian held Zheng Chenghe's urn in both hands, but it was indeed very light, far less than what Lin Xian thought was the weight of life.

This was the first time in his life that he held an urn.

Recalling Zheng Chenghe's strong body, the muscles he had developed to protect his sister, his broad shoulders, and his thick build.

And now...

But it was just a handful of ashes.

The weight of life turns out to be only a little bit.

Lin Xian originally planned to bring Zheng Xiangyue with him, hoping to let her see the last side of her brother.

However, the attending physician at Tunghai University Affiliated Hospital refused, saying that Zheng Xiangyue could not bear such a big stimulus and her heart could not bear it.

"So, don't tell her such detailed things. Even if she is a child, she won't be able to understand. Just tell her that her brother died in a car accident. It will be easier to accept."

That's what the doctor said.

Lin Xian originally wanted to spend money to buy a cemetery for Zheng Chenghe to bury, but Zheng Xiangyue disagreed. She must put her brother's urn in the ward and beside the bed:

"I don't want to be so far away from my brother..."

Zheng Xiangyue, who had always been strong, burst into tears at that time. She bit her lips and looked at Lin Xian with tears in her eyes:

"If you bury him... I'll never see him again."

Later, the doctor agreed.

After all, for patients with heart problems like Zheng Xiangyue, emotional stability is more important than anything else, so Lin Xian was allowed to send Zheng Chenghe's urn to Zheng Xiangyue's ward.

Came to the inpatient department.

Press the elevator on the 17th floor.

Lin Xian came to Zheng Xiangyue's ward and carefully placed the urn, which felt a lot heavier at the moment, on Zheng Xiangyue's bed.

Zheng Xiangyue didn't say a word, squatted down and hugged the urn in front of her tightly.

She didn't cry.

Lin Xian had heard that when people are excessively sad, they cannot cry but become very calm. This is a stress protection mechanism of the brain.

Everyone thinks that Zheng

A little girl of Xiangyue's age doesn't understand anything.

But actually...

Lin Xian doesn't think so.

He felt that Zheng Xiangyue actually understood everything.

She is very smart.

She knows everything.

The reason why she acted like she didn't understand anything, and acted childishly and innocently, seemed to be just to prevent others from worrying about her.

Her well-behavedness comes from her sensibleness.

Zheng Xiangyue got off the bed, tidied up the bedside table next to her, and emptied everything on it.

Then her delicate hands held the urn on the bed and wanted to put it on the bedside table.

However……

A forceful one.

The urn remained motionless, not lifted.

Zheng Xiangyue raised her head and looked at Lin Xian, her tears could no longer be held back and fell down:

"Brother Lin Xian, it's so heavy..."

Lin Xian was about to step forward to help, but Zheng Xiangyue shook her head.

She gritted her teeth, held her breath, picked up the urn with all her strength, and placed it tremblingly on the bedside table.

Carefully put it right.

Then he turned around, wiped his tears, and forced out a smile:

"look……"

"I can hug my brother now."
