Say goodbye

After receiving the newspaper handed over by the newsboy on the street, Shen Ciwan felt a tingle in his heart when he saw the news on it.

Ai Chaochao on the side was entertaining himself with a cup of hot milk tea and was drinking it vigorously. The bright face of the young man under the warm sun made Shen Ciwan feel as if he had passed away.

Having been with Ai Chaochao for nearly two years, he was healed completely, and gradually regained the ability to love without knowing it. Now he has a sense of security and happiness, and the lonely and cold iceberg in the past is together. It melts a little bit, which is obviously a good thing.

But why does he still recall the past seven years ago?

This kind of reminiscence of the past with some groans is undoubtedly hypocritical, but it is also a past that no one can share with him, and it belongs to him alone.Even though Ai Chaochao and him now like each other, have gone through ups and downs together, and vowed to each other, but they will never feel the same as Shen Ciwan, who was 16 years old when he was [-] years old.

He couldn't respond to Ruan Li's liking.

It's like he doesn't understand why he likes Ai Chaochao so much.

But that didn't affect him being moved.

Not for Ruan Li, but for the self at that time, the later self, the self who has not met Ai Chaochao yet.

It turned out that during these seven years of isolation and loneliness, he was once the favorite of others.

Of course he doesn't want to go back to that lonely time, but he can recall it slowly with a bit of complacent hypocrisy.

"I'm done drinking, let's go, Wanwan, you can't be late for the court session!" Ai Chaochao held Shen Ciwan's hand, smiling brightly.

"Hmm." Shen Ciwan put the newspaper on the bench by the roadside, and then tightly held Ai Chaochao's hand.

The headlines on the front page of today's Pingcheng that caught the attention of the newspaper read:

"Ruan Li committed suicide by jumping into the river last night. People in Pingcheng City are now discussing this. Some people say that Ruan Li is not wrong, some say that Ruan Li is a sinner, and some say that he is at least a good police officer."

Pingcheng Local People's Court.

As members of the "Mir Truth Investigation Team", Ai Chaochao and Shen Ciwan should attend this court that many people are paying attention to.

There were no crowds of onlookers in front of the court, but only policemen maintaining order. Zheng Qiqi and Zheng Tao were escorted here. One was still very arrogant, while the other, Zheng Tao, the president of White Sunshine, was calm and strolling. Go up the steps.

When passing in front of Shen Ciwan and Ai Chaochao, Zheng Tao stopped, and said with a little emotion: "It is indeed the two most powerful chess pieces of Qidu kid."

Ai Chaochao frowned, but out of respect for the adults' politeness, he didn't reply.

Sun Zhongxu walked after him, without looking at anyone, only watching his own toes walking forward.

Qi Du also drove to the place at this time, still dressed in black, elegant and calm, making people feel like spring breeze.

He nodded with Shen Ciwan, smiled at Ai Chaochao, then turned and left.

A few reporters from Pingcheng Daily were also present. Ai Chaochao knew them. They were all younger generations that Yan Qing had trained.

After exchanging pleasantries, greetings, and courtesies one by one, the people who should attend the court finally arrived one after another. The snow outside the court was getting heavier and heavier. It was indeed a relatively cold winter.

After simple trial preparations, the presiding judge announced the opening of the trial.

The plaintiff is the representative of the Mir shipwreck, and the family members have already begun to be filled with righteous indignation. If there were no police officers to maintain order in the middle, I am afraid that the three brothers Zheng Tao and Sun Zhongxu would be torn apart by the crowd.

Jin Nan and his younger sister Jin Hua sat in an inconspicuous seat at the back.

"Brother... Sister Qi Wen... Can you finally rest in peace this time?"

"must be able to."

"Actually... I am sorry for Sister Qi Wen, we are all sorry for Sister Qi Wen..." Jin Hua began to sob.

"No noise is allowed in the courtroom. As a prisoner serving a sentence, I have taken care of you by bringing you here to watch the court session. Please try to make as little noise as possible." The police guarding Jinhua said coldly.

"understood……"

"The two brothers, Zheng Tao and Zheng Qiqi, used money to bribe the governor of Pingcheng, colluded with government and businessmen, illegally overhauled the ship, which led to the shipwreck of the Mir, and used family affection to force Ruan Li to assassinate the former mayor Shen Shen...etc. , the evidence is conclusive and indistinguishable!"

"Now, Zheng Tao is sentenced for intentional homicide, and Zheng Qiqi and his brother are sentenced to death, with a one-week reprieve and execution immediately thereafter."

Ai Chaozhao looked at the crowd representing the family members of the Mir, most of them were already crying, but they just clenched Shen Ciwan's hand even more tightly.

"Mayor Sun Zhongxu... read that during his tenure as mayor, he had no record of major crimes other than collecting money, so he was pardoned for 20 years in prison and suspended for half a year."

"What! Don't you know that these three people are all murderers! Why am I pardoning him!" Ai Chaochao stood up and raised his voice.

A young judge hurried over, and said to Ai Chaochao's ear: "This...an order from above, Sun Zhongxu is still very prestigious in the country...you can ask in a low voice, besides, this is not a sentence for him 20 years in prison."

Qi Du, who was sitting quietly behind Ai Chaochao, also heard all the judge's words clearly. At this moment, he suddenly smiled very softly. The seaside told him that he was determined to work in white daylight!

Qi Du put away the smile on his face, put his hands on Wu Zhi's shoulders, stared at Wu Zhi for a couple of seconds, and then stood up.

Seeing this, Wu Zhi also stood up instantly.

Everyone at the scene was stunned, Qi Du took the gun that a policeman wanted to see, and Wu Zhi who followed him also took the gun from another policeman next to him.

Then, the two pulled the trigger at the same time, one first and one behind, aiming at Sun Zhongxu.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

One shot to the head, one shot to the chest.

Sun Zhongxu fell down slowly.

There were screams from the crowd in the courthouse.

Qi Du seemed to have just realized it, and pointed at the gun in Wu Zhi's hand, in disbelief.

But Wu Zhi just looked back at Qi Du forcefully.

Seeing the policeman who was approaching to control them, Qi Du gritted his teeth, grabbed Wu Zhi's arm, pointed the gun in Wu Zhi's hand at himself, backhanded, and pulled the trigger.

Another "bang" sound.

The police who came were also stunned.

Wu Zhi supported Qi Du with one hand, felt something strange with the other, raised his hand, and saw blood on it.

Ai Chaochao also froze, the familiar smell of blood filled the air.

"None of the people who killed my sister can live... Zhi Zhi, you want to take revenge with me, but you are innocent after all... So, I let you pretend to kill me and make up for it, and they will... will I pardon you."

The policeman next to him wanted to step forward and pull the two of them away: "You two! Accept the control honestly!"

Hearing the sound, Wu Zhi turned around, his bloodless face was even more sinister at the moment, and the policeman who spoke could not help but tremble: "You, you, you... are you human, you..."

Qi Du didn't care about the outside world, but moved a little closer to Wu Zhi's ear, exhausted all his strength, but his voice was still small and weak: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry, your ambition to become a big star, I have already given up on you." I know, my hatred, but you only know it now, sorry."

With that said, Qi Du moved away from Wu Zhi's ear, barely stood up straight, and said to everyone present, "I am the younger brother of Martyr Qi Wen."

The crowd was in an uproar.

Jin Hua was held tightly by Jin Nan so that he could not step forward to take a look at Qi Du.

"That's Sister Qi Wen's only relative in the world! He's going to die anyway! The siblings haven't done anything bad! They haven't done anything bad! Why are they all dying! Why, why!" Jin Hua said loudly Weeping blood, he shouted in the direction of Qidu ahead.

The court had no choice but to suspend the trial and resentence at another day. Wuzhi and Qidu were first sent to the police station for detention, and the situation was clarified before sentencing.

Chaos, confusion.

Everyone, accusations, abuse, anger, praise, surprise, disdain from different positions...

Everyone has emotions.

But no one thought about it, if it were you, would you be more ruthless than the bloody Qi Du just now.

Ai Chaochao felt that his mind was in chaos, and Qi Du's blood gushing from his body seemed to be right in front of his eyes.

He had to hold on to Shen Ciwan, and the people around him, so tightly that he couldn't let go.
