The snow is falling outside the window, the fireworks are over, and the New Year's bell from the tower of Jishan Temple can be heard from a distance.

"My parents met in college, and my dad is my mom's senior." Xiao Su rarely talked about his parents' past with others, but now he wanted to tell Rong Rui everything, "My mom just got a freshman. When I entered school, I fell in love with my dad at first sight, and my dad is the same."

Fang Huici was admitted to university at the age of 17, and met Xiao Su's father, Xiao Qin, during the orientation club activities. Since then, she has been out of control and fell in love with this handsome and cheerful senior brother who came from a poor background like lightning.

Academic pressure, family opposition, class differences... Hsiao Chin hesitated at the beginning, but in the end he couldn't let go of this youthfulness and chose to be with Fang Huici.

After Xiao Su was born, the two elders of the Fang family finally accepted their feelings.After graduating from university, Xiao Qin entered the Fang family to work. Fang Huici stayed at home to take care of her young son, who gave birth to Xiao Ran a few years later.

With a thriving career and a happy family, Hsiao Chin was proud of his life and tried his best to make the Fang family bigger and stronger. However, at the age of 32, he suddenly began to feel weak and had a low-grade fever, which eventually developed into dizziness and frequent falls.

After repeated examinations in several hospitals, the doctor diagnosed neuron abnormality, which is congenital and incurable.

What Hsiao Chin faced was not only his death three to five years later, but also his dreadful weakening during this period.

With the necrosis of efferent neurons, his motor function will be gradually lost, eventually leading to paralysis, difficulty breathing and swallowing.At the same time, his afferent neurons are also dying, and his five senses will gradually degenerate, and he will not be able to feel external stimuli, including taste, smell...

However, his brain is normal, so he will feel this hopeless deterioration all the time, and finally become a lonely soul trapped in a black box, unable to express, unable to feel, and sliding to the end of his life alone.

Anyone who faces such a fate will lose the courage to live, and Xiao Qin is the same.But Fang Huici does not accept this reality. She always believes that there is still hope. Medicine is advancing. Every year, new terminal illnesses are overcome. As long as you live, there will be miracles.

Fang Huici cried and begged Xiao Qin to persevere, for herself and for the two young children.

Xiao Qin agreed to her.

For three full years, he changed from a handsome man who was healthy, intelligent and full of vitality to a weak, dead and dying skeleton.He lost everything he once owned, lost the most basic dignity as a human being, and finally couldn't even breathe independently, and needed a machine to maintain it.

In the end, he reneged on his promise, the power of love could not withstand the cruel fate after all, he ended his life when he still had the ability to choose death.

"I was just 14 years old that year." Xiao Su looked at the snowflakes flying outside the window, and said lightly, "My father committed suicide... After his death, my mother completely collapsed. She always thought that my father would keep his promise and live on. , and support this family together with her, she didn't believe that he would leave him alone. She was crying in the bedroom that day, and I've never seen her so desperate...more desperate than her own death. "

Rong Rui leaned against the window, and slowly put his hand on his shoulder, giving him silent comfort.Xiao Su patted the back of his hand and said: "My father was with my mother when he was 20 years old. He died at the age of 35. He never blushed or lost his temper with her once. I was very naughty when I was a child. Every time I caused trouble, I always choose to go home when my mother is at home, because I know that my father can't help laughing whenever he sees my mother, and his temper becomes very good."

Thinking of his anti-human appearance when he was a child, Xiao Su sighed: "Children are the most sensitive. Whether adults have good feelings or not, the door is clear. I will always remember the way my father looked at my mother, from eyes to mouth corners. Laughing, so soft that it’s a mess—but in fact, he is a very strong, decisive man, and his temper is extremely tough in the business field.”

After a pause, he said firmly: "You can doubt everything else, but this is the only thing you don't need to doubt. Xiao Rui, my dad can't cheat. The only thing he has ever done to my mother in his life is to end it early. His own life, but... it's justifiable, I understand him."

The last four words were spoken softly, but very coldly, so cold that Rongrui's hands trembled.

"Maybe my mother has something to hide from me, but it should have nothing to do with my father." Xiao Su said, "There is no need to look for clues from this line of thought, it will lead you astray. I think it should be from business, or from my mother's earlier social circle. Let’s get it, she had a lot of friends when she was young, and now it’s Chinese New Year, I’ll find an opportunity to contact them.”

"Alright." Rong Rui said, he chose to trust Xiao Su's judgment on such matters.

Xiao Su pondered for a moment, and then said: "About Aze, if what Ding Tianyi said is true, your doubts are not unreasonable, but... there are still many things that don't make sense—why did he do this?"

Motivation is the biggest question, but Rongrui can't answer this question. After all, Fang Huize has only returned to China for a month. No one knows what he did before or what he experienced in the United States.

"I don't have much information about him, and it will take time to investigate from the beginning." Rong Rui said matter-of-factly, "Brother, the reason I told you this today is not to convict Fang Huize, but to remind you that the most important thing to him Be careful."

Xiao Su nodded.

In fact, Rong Rui still didn't say a word - if this matter was really planned by Fang Huize, then everything may have just begun, no matter what his motives are, he will never stop.

In the past half a month or so, Rong Rui reorganized the details of several related cases, trying to find the connection, but still couldn't figure it out.Lu Bai, You Gang, Zhang Chanjuan, Fang Huize, Lawyer Zhou...the five victims and three major cases are all related to anti-aging injections, but no matter how you investigate, there is no special connection between them.

The whole thing seems to be missing a key link, so they can't be buckled up.

If you buckle it up, you may be able to find out the real motive of the murderer.

Rong Rui looked at the time, it was almost two o'clock, and said, "Go home, it's too late."

Xiao Su habitually raised his left hand to look at his watch, only to realize that Fang Huize had already taken it away, and uncomfortably stretched his sleeves to cover the scar on his wrist: "Well... I don't know if the two of them snatched Touzhuxiang or not. "

"I got it, just now Xiao Ran posted a photo in Moments." Rong Rui turned off the headlights and turned on the night light, "It's snowing heavily, beware of catching a cold... Do you have a fever?"

"No, it's been fine recently." Xiao Su let him try his forehead, and wrapped the scarf around him, "Let's go."

It was snowing heavily outside, and the two walked through the garden through the thick snow, making a slight "creak" sound under their feet.

Calm and beautiful.

Rong Rui bowed his head and walked beside him, hesitated for a long time, and finally asked: "Brother, did you do it on purpose that day?"

Xiao Su paused, and understood what he was asking in a moment, smiled lightly in the dark, and said, "Yes."

They stood in the dark night, with dense snowflakes falling on their shoulders and feet.After a long time, Xiao Su said: "It's surprising, isn't it? I don't think that I am polite and have no strength to restrain a chicken, but I dare to kill people?"

Rongrui remained silent.Xiao Su sighed faintly, and said: "Rong Rui, I wasn't like this before. When I was young, my dad wanted to tie me up and whip me with a belt. At that time, I hated ghosts and was called a parent by the teacher every month. .”

"When I was 14 years old, my dad committed suicide, and his death almost destroyed my mother." Xiao Su whispered, "She locked herself and my dad's body in the bedroom, and no one was allowed to enter. They were crying like crazy inside. I was standing outside her door that day. I never knew that a person would suffer so much pain and despair because of the death of another person. They are like symbiotic bodies. One dies and the other dies. Not one will survive."

The scene of 13 years ago flashed before his eyes. In the darkness, Xiao Su saw his 14-year-old self, that rebellious and lawless boy, standing at the door of his parents' bedroom, holding his sister's hand, with a stubborn expression on his face.

Grandpa and grandma slammed on the bedroom door desperately, everyone was crying, only he had red eyes and didn't say a word.

Finally, they finally opened the door, and everyone rushed in. Xiao Su saw the collapsed mother in the chaotic space.Fang Huici fell on the carpet in front of the bed, her face was as pale as a dead person, her eyes were straight, as if she couldn't see or hear anything.

Grandma was crying hysterically, trying to hug her mother, but she couldn't do what she wanted.Xiao Su dragged Xiao Ran over, pushed aside the crowd, and slowly knelt beside Fang Huici, hugging her stiff body.

"Don't be sad, Mom." He said in a hoarse voice, "Daddy broke his oath, I won't, I won't be a coward like him, I will live... Mom, please and I Stay with me, okay? I don't want to die alone...alone."

Fang Huici's empty eyes slowly focused on his face, and a large tear rolled out of his dry eye socket. After a long time, she finally called him "A Su".

At that moment, Xiao Su completely accepted his fate and gave up the idea of ​​suicide.

He had to live, for his mother, to live.

Xiao Qin took more than half of Fang Huici's life away, if he dared to think this way again, it would be equivalent to taking away the other half of her life.

His life is short and as light as a feather, if he can support his mother and this family, he will not be in this world in vain.

"I swear to my mother that I will persist in living and never be a coward like my father. But it is really difficult to live." Xiao Su sighed lightly in the dark night, turned around and walked slowly to the parking lot, " No matter how I hinted at myself, I would still be afraid, I would be afraid... So, from then on, I was no longer the old me, I forced myself to be calm, to become indifferent, without extravagance, without desire... I became Me now."

Rong Rui quietly followed behind him, half a step away from him.Xiao Su said: "I thought I would go on like this forever, but that day, when I saw my mother lying unconscious on the bed, Ding Tianyi ran to the hospital to make trouble and beat Xiao Ran...I suddenly felt relieved, I I don’t have to keep my promises anymore, I don’t have to have no desires, I don’t have to force myself to play the perfect Mr. Xiao... I’ve been sick for almost a year, and I’ll be alive for a year or two at most, what else am I afraid of?”

He glanced sideways at Rong Rui, and the corner of his mouth curled up, his warm eyebrows suddenly revealed a sharp color under the dim sky: "So, that knife was intentional."

When the parking lot arrived, they stood in front of the car, but no one got in the car.

"Then I thought about it for a long time, what kind of person I am." Xiao Su said in a low voice while holding the door of the car, "Maybe I am a lawless lunatic from the bottom of my heart, just because of this illness and because of the promise to my mother." , has been playing the role of ordinary people."

"You are not acting, you are yourself." Rong Rui finally said, his cold voice sounded very firm in the snowy night, "Because of this disease, you suppressed yourself and changed yourself, but you are still you, you have not changed from A bad person becomes a good person, and you are a good person."

Xiao Su rolled his Adam's apple, lowered his head, and large flakes of snow fell on his head and body...

"You're not some lawless lunatic, it's just that you were impulsive at that moment." Rong Rui said word by word, "Brother, don't do this in the future, and don't give yourself such hints, huh?"

Xiao Su remained motionless, his thin body seemed to be frozen by the cold.

"Everything is up to me." Rong Rui said, "I won't let our mother lie in the hospital like this, I'm a policeman, you trust me, okay?"

Xiao Su let out a breath, and nodded almost imperceptibly.

Rong Rui opened the car door for him: "Go home."

The off-road vehicle was driving in the vast snowy night, Rongrui turned on the heater and turned on the stereo, and the brisk and joyful New Year's greeting song was played on FM, slowly diluting the gloomy atmosphere.

Suddenly, the phone rang, and the caller ID was "Rong Sihuan".

"Your father?" Seeing that he frowned and refused to answer, Xiao Su guessed the identity of the other party.

Sure enough, Rong Rui nodded.

"No answer? Xiao Su asked, "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. "

"It's hard to pick up the car." Rong Rui said, paused, and then said, "Call him when you get home."

"it is good."

The joyful New Year's greeting song continued to be sung on the stereo, and after a long time, Xiao Su suddenly said: "Are you still blaming him, blaming him for not saving your mother that day?"

Rong Rui remained silent, Xiao Su touched the cigarette, lit one for him, and said, "Xiao Rui, what would you do if it were you?"

Rong Rui was smoking a cigarette, his eyes slightly startled.

Xiao Su also lit a cigarette for himself, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "You said, you are a policeman, but your father is also a soldier."

"Actually, you two are the same person." He said, "If it were you, you would be the same as him."
