Taoist temple in the mountains

Chapter 665, stay innocent

"Why did I wander into the Taoist temple?"

On the way home, Xu Changshan asked himself this question more than once, but he couldn't figure out why he was attracted by the Taoist temple.

Obviously, I was looking for books on criminal investigation.
With this in mind, he returned home to an ordinary residential area and an ordinary high-rise residence. This is the best thing left by Xu Changshan's father.

"I'm going home."

A simple living room, a sofa, a TV, a computer, and cans and beverage bottles scattered on the ground, and a large box of beer catechu to imitate alcoholic beverages.

No one was there—except for a man and a woman on a coffin at the door.
Looking at the parents in the gray and white photo, Xu Changshan smiled: "I don't know what's wrong with the Fa today, but it's really true that I went to the Taoist temple."

Xu Changshan confided silently, as if his parents were still alive, the 'parents' on the spiritual seat also acted as qualified listeners, silently supporting Xu Changshan's complaints.

There is only Xu Changshan left in this family. From the death of his father ten years ago, to the death of Xu Changshan's mother five years ago because of excessive sadness, there is only one person now.
He habitually boiled water, and started to eat the sauerkraut beef noodles bought at a discount in front of him.

It still tastes familiar, it’s not tasty, it chokes your nose, it’s not nutritious, and it’s easy to get angry, but it can refresh your mind and fill your stomach, so you don’t need to waste time.

With the drink of the above-class beer, within a short while, Xu Changshan was full of vigor and energy.

"Sure enough, Laotan sauerkraut noodles are more useful than coffee." Xu Changshan turned on his laptop, searched for criminal investigation books on the Internet, and habitually opened his own Weibo.

There were quite a few replies, more than a dozen of them, but they were all the same, and Xu Changshan didn't know what expression to use to face them—he might as well give a wry smile.

【Son of a murderer.】

[Sure enough, the son of a murderer is the son of a murderer, a dog can't change eating shit, a gangster is a gangster.]

[Justice may be late, but it will never be absent. 】

[One day you will be caught too, I believe in justice]

"Tsk, it's been ten years, and he still misses us. This troll's combat effectiveness is too low. He just keeps saying a few f*cking words over and over again. He's really weak." Xu Changshan looked at the reply in front of him, and he couldn't help but despise him. What does it mean to retort, let them gossip, and at the same time feel a little helpless to myself. The tattoos I got because I was greedy for handsomeness and insecure before have become the main way for the justice messengers to gossip.

The self-righteous justice messenger attacked him, the child who inherited the [criminal factor], with his self-righteous voice of justice.

As for the refutation, Xu Changshan had already done it ten years ago. Whether it was on Weibo or in the news media, he made his own voice, but these voices will eventually disappear.

At that time, facing hundreds of thousands of troll attacks on Weibo, Xu Changshan would not back down, he would swear back. No matter how ugly the other party said, he would re-spray back with a hundred times more ugly words, and he would never back down.

But I don’t know when it started. Xu Changshan was tired. He felt that his rebuttal was meaningless. No matter what rational angle he used to rebut, he only got contempt in the end, and his voice would only be drowned in the louder voice. .

No one can hear Xu Changshan's voice, or no one wants to listen to his voice. It is very subjective to think that what he said is bragging, with special effects added, and that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.

But they don't even know if the upper beam is crooked or not.
Even though witnesses and evidences are gathered, until now, Xu Changshan still feels that his father, whose highest purpose in life is "carrying virtue, teaching and educating people", would not kill people, and would not kill his own children in such a cruel way. student.

He was wronged, witnessed by people, and wronged by physical evidence. Zong Xu Changshan felt that his father was definitely a noob in educating his children, but on the other hand, he was definitely a really good teacher.

After simply ignoring these [envoys of justice], Xu Changshan started his own study, learned about criminal investigation, and worked hard to improve his posture, intending to find the reason for his father's innocence from the clues of the year.

Xu Changshan doesn't think he's smart enough to do his best, but there are some things that he has to do. If he doesn't do it, he will feel uneasy.

"Why. Why did that child say that it was my father that he saw that night?"

One thing Xu Changshan didn't understand was the child who corrected his father back then.

That child, whom Xu Changshan knew, was from a poor family and had poor grades. He was a real scumbag just like himself. However, even if he was a scumbag, his father did not give up and went to save the child and tutor her.

Facts have proved that it has worked. The grades of that scumbag girl have improved. She used to be a person who couldn't even meet the most basic passing line, but she actually got a good grade in the exam.

Coincidentally, that night, my father was going to give her a make-up lesson, and then he was charged with this crime for no apparent reason, leaving the seemingly pale rebuttal of "Innocence in the world" and hastily passed away.

Her father saved her, but it was this young girl who destroyed her father and pushed her father into the abyss as the only witness at the scene.

It is difficult for Xu Changshan to recall what kind of mood he felt when he saw his father's body that day, and what kind of mood his mother felt.

I don't want to remember that kind of thing.

Until now do not want to.

While thinking about life, Xu Changshan found that someone was sitting next to the bookshelf where he kept criminal investigation books, and a man in a blue and white Taoist robe was sitting on top of the pile of books.

Xu Changshan knew the person in front of him. Before, he was still ignorant. He had been to his Taoist temple, and he foolishly entered the scripture storage pavilion of the Taoist priest's house, looking for books on criminal investigation.

"Wait. You. Why did you appear in my house." Xu Changshan was shocked after he realized it. The balcony door was closed all the time, and the door was intact. He couldn't figure out how the person in front of him came in.

Li Yun looked at the criminal investigation books in front of him and said.

"Frankly speaking, Pindao doesn't think that Detective Conan and Boy Kindaichi can be classified in criminal investigation books."

"But I can't find other books." Xu Changshan replied subconsciously.

Li Yun said to Xu Changshan: "You want to prove that your father is innocent."

"I want to. Of course I want to." Maybe it's been a long time since I had a normal communication with anyone. Now that Li Yun is in front of him, Xu Changshan said unexpectedly: "I've been thinking about proving my father's innocence in my dreams. I don't want to suffer any more. I don’t want other people’s eyes to look at our house like this, and I don’t want my father to bear these things.”

"Relatives, friends, I've lost everything...but I don't care."

"I just want my father to remain innocent in the world, and to leave behind his dignity as a teacher and a man."

Li Yun silently closed Detective Conan in front of him.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for accepting Xu Changshan's 'fate'."

"Mission objective: to stay innocent in the world?"

"mission rewards:???"

"Failure penalty: none."

Demon teacher.

Scum.

Scum and scum.

The devil on earth.

These are the evaluations of Xu Changqing, that is, Xu Changshan's father, from the outside world.

There are more and more nicknames, which can be found in popular science forums and public communities such as Hupu. Anyway, they are very disgusting and disgusting.

From their point of view, having such aversion to this heinous criminal is hatred, justice, and nothing wrong with it.

After reading it, Li Yun basically made a conclusion, and he firmly believed that the criminal was Xu Changqing.

"Are you so convinced that your father is innocent?" Li Yun looked at Xu Changshan and said, "Do you really understand him?"

Facing Li Yun's question, Xu Changshan said firmly: "I believe, I believe that my father is innocent. As for whether I understand him or not. I think I understand him."

Li Yun sat on the chair casually with a smile on his face, he didn't look like an intruder at all.

"I didn't understand before, but after I grew up, I knew what kind of person he was"

"He is a rigid middle-aged man who wears glasses, is strict with his own children, and is strict with everyone. He scolds people at every turn. He is a lively and violent teacher. I used to hate him very much. I hate this rigid-minded person. Someone who respects my hobbies, back then I liked hip-hop, smoking and drinking, they were all controlled by him, I was rebellious, I didn’t want to follow the rules.”

Li Yun understands the nature of rebellious teenagers. At that age, the more parents force something, the more teenagers will do it. Passionate about things.

Some things, the harder you push them, the more they bounce back.
"Very ordinary parents."

"Well, very ordinary parents." Xu Changshan looked lost in memory, and said: "At that time, he hated the things I liked, and I also hated the things he liked, such as responsibility, such as a water-tight character, for example, dedicating to every student. My hard work, these are the traits I hate the most, it turns out that in the end, he was cheated by his own students, the students he helped."

"But I think he doesn't regret it, just like I once framed my father in front of my mother. He has a concubine outside, and after the almost divorced thing, he didn't regret treating me so harshly. After I apologized, still The attitude is as usual." A smile appeared on Xu Changshan's face.

Regarding this, Li Yun really wanted to complain, Xu Changshan used to be such a brat.
"He is a person who is strict with others, and he is also very strict with himself. I believe that he will never do anything detestable. This is not only because of my son's trust in his father, but more What's more... I trust my father, he's not like that."

Xu Changshan's eyes are full of firmness, which is a determination made a long time ago.

Wash away the grievances for my father, and the determination to wash away the grievances for the teacher who is strict with himself and others.

"Well, Pindao also believes that your father was wronged." Li Yun said with a smile.

Xu Changshan was stunned.

Really stunned.

Suddenly there is a sour feeling.

It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this way. It’s a feeling of “moving.” The last time I experienced it was the Teletubbies toy that my father bought for me when he was alive.

At the same time, this is the first time, the first time someone has said to him, "I believe in you", to a son of a murderer who looks like a punk and rejects people thousands of miles away.

Even her own mother had a little bit of suspicion before she died. In fact, her extremely strict husband turned into a murderer under pressure.

"Do you really believe me?" Xu Changshan asked again in disbelief.

"Well, I believe that based on my poor personal judgment, I know that your father is not the real murderer, but was framed." Li Yun smiled and said, "Even if the conclusion has been sealed, there will always be only one truth." , the murderer is not your father, but someone else."

After finishing speaking, Li Yun walked out of the room directly, Xu Changshan behind him hesitated for a moment, and followed directly.

Keep up with the only person in front of him who trusts him.

Wandering around in the community, Xu Changshan immediately acted like a protagonist, attracting the attention of almost all the neighbors present, who all pointed at him.

These neighbors didn't show disgust very conspicuously, but their eyes kept flashing here intentionally or unintentionally.

"Let's...don't go together." Xu Changshan followed behind Li Yun, always a little uncomfortable, afraid that Li Yun would be blamed for this, and he didn't want others to bear what he should bear.

It's not that he is uncomfortable with Li Yun, but that the eyes of the neighbors behind him are staring at him uncomfortablely. Obviously, he never cared about such gazes before.
At the same time, Li Yun was also overwhelmed by the same gaze, and was categorized as "the friend of the murderer's child" by the surrounding aunts and uncles.

Li Yun saw through Xu Changshan's thoughts and said, "Don't think that the poor will care about the thoughts of the people around you."

Xu Changshan nodded embarrassingly, and finally raised his head and chest, and walked side by side with Li Yun, no longer caring about other people's eyes.

"Well, I found it, the singularity here."

Suddenly, the space began to distort, and Xu Changshan felt that the surrounding air was becoming thicker, and the boundaries between spaces began to blur.

This is obviously my own community.

"What's going on here?" Xu Changshan murmured looking at the surrounding scene, the space began to blend, and the places that belonged here and the places that didn't belong here were all connected together.

Words can no longer describe such a wonderful touch.

When he realized it, this place was no longer a community, but a place he was familiar with.
For a moment, he was still at home just now, and now he appeared in a place N miles away. Xu Changshan felt that either he was crazy or the world was crazy.

"Who are you?"
