Original sin

Liao Yuancheng was in his room. His room didn't look like a hospital ward at all. It was made like a hotel room by Long Xuejun.

He is sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette.

Shen Chen narrowed his eyes, he remembered that Liao Yuancheng seemed to say that he had quit smoking, and now he started smoking again, it seemed that he really had something on his mind.

Seeing that Shen Chen came, a smile appeared on Liao Yuancheng's face: "Why are you free today?"

Shen Chen sat down, and Long Xuejun exited the room. He felt that it might be better for Shen Chen and Liao Yuancheng to talk alone at this time, although he and Liao Yuancheng seemed to get along well during this time, and even when they were taking Liao Yuancheng back to Lincheng In the process, he almost took his own life, but he still couldn't fully gain Liao Yuancheng's trust.

Long Xuejun could feel that Liao Yuancheng was much more guarded than he showed.Perhaps this has something to do with Liao Yuancheng's long-term experience. Liao Yuancheng used to be Shen He's informant. Potentially smash yourself to pieces.

So he can understand Liao Yuancheng's caution.

"Your complexion doesn't look very good." Shen Shen looked at Liao Yuancheng, picked up the cigarette on the table, and lit one too.

Liao Yuancheng said: "I heard from Long Xuejun that you only smoke hard Zhonghua. Are you used to my cigarettes?"

Shen Chen was stunned for a moment: "To be honest, I'm not really used to it. I'm still used to the fragrance in China."

Liao Yuancheng nodded: "Actually speaking, the quality of tobacco is almost the same. There is not much difference between any brand. Its taste is all about the blending of flavors. Your father used to like hard Chinese. I think you should be affected by it." His influence?"

Shen Chen didn't speak, it was a tacit agreement.

"If you're not used to smoking, don't waste it, smoke your own." Liao Yuancheng smiled.

Naturally, Shen Chen couldn't put out the cigarette he just lit, he was still smoking.

"Long Xuejun asked you to come, right?" Liao Yuancheng naturally guessed why Shen Chen appeared here at this time.

Shen Chen asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

Liao Yuancheng rolled his eyes: "Can you not be around the corner?"

When he said this, Shen Chen felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "I didn't go around the corner, because I was hungry, and now it's meal time, and I haven't eaten yet. I think you should be tired of the food here, how about Shall we go out to eat?"

Liao Yuancheng nodded again, Shen Chen was really right, he was really tired of the food here, and wanted to change it for a long time.

The two walked towards the outside of the house, and Liao Yuancheng said: "Call Shanglong Xuejun, I think he must have been suffocated in the past two days."

Shen Chen heard the meaning in his words: "So, you did it on purpose?"

Liao Yuancheng smiled and did not answer his question.

After the three of them left the mental hospital, Liao Yuancheng took a deep breath: "The air outside is still comfortable."

Long Xuejun was a little dissatisfied: "Pretentious, I didn't put you under house arrest. If you want to breathe the air outside, just say so. At worst, I'll accompany you."

Liao Yuancheng patted him on the shoulder: "Actually, you are very good, really, just like your father."

Liao Yuancheng got into the car after speaking, Long Xuejun stood there in a daze, Shen Chen touched him lightly: "Why are you so dazed, get in the car."

They got on Shen Shen's small polo, Long Xuejun sat in the co-pilot seat, Liao Yuancheng sat in the back row, Shen Shen was naturally the driver.

"Are you familiar with my father?" Long Xuejun turned his head to look at Liao Yuancheng.

Liao Yuancheng also took a look at him: "Your father and his father knew each other because I was connected."

The two fathers he was talking about were naturally Shen Shen's father and Long Xuejun's father.

When he said this, not only Long Xuejun, but also Shen Shen was shocked.

From Shen Chen's point of view, his father and Long Xuejun's father met because of that so-called transaction, but he never thought that they had known each other for a long time, and the person who introduced them was Liao Yuancheng.

Liao Yuancheng sighed, he knew that his words would definitely shock these two young people, he continued: "The case that Shen Shen's father was investigating at that time was because of a report letter from your father, that report letter It was taken by Shen Chen's father, but the whistleblower in the report letter did not leave any contact information, even the name was fake, so I was responsible for finding out who wrote the report letter."

Long Xuejun said: "So you found out my father?"

"Well, it was a very accidental opportunity. I finally found some clues. I found out that the report letter was written by your father, so I went to your father. Your father didn't believe me at first, until he was in danger. I helped him to gain his trust, but he still had doubts, so I asked him to meet Shen Shen's father directly. My behavior was also scolded by Shen Shen's father, who said that I This is irresponsible to your father. It is very easy for the other party to know about your father's report letter, which will bring danger to your father. After all, Shen Shen's father had a good reputation in Lincheng at that time, and he was a member of the Lincheng Bureau. Notoriously desperate Saburo, and there were many criminals who fell into his hands back then."

Liao Yuancheng said this, and then took a look at Shen Chen: "But you are also very good, maybe this is because the tiger father has no dogs." Shen Chen was a little embarrassed, he never dared to compare himself with his father, in his life In his heart, his father is a mountain, a mountain that he will never be able to climb.

Liao Yuancheng knew what he was thinking: "You don't have to belittle yourself, your father is not as good as you when you are young, you are already out of blue."

Shen Shen said embarrassingly: "I am able to achieve what I am today more because of the care of these uncles."

Liao Yuancheng shook his head: "You can't say that. The help of these uncles is important, but my talent and hard work are more important. In fact, although I am in other provinces, I have been paying attention to you silently. You have done a lot in Lincheng. Big cases are all beautiful. Think about it, if you don’t have the skills, uncles and uncles will not be able to help you no matter how much you want. Not everyone can eat the bowl of criminal investigation. Even if you can eat it, it’s even better if you can eat well not enough."

Long Xuejun said: "I just realized that I actually don't know my father."

Liao Yuancheng said softly: "He also said the same thing. He said that he knew too little about your son. It wasn't that he didn't want to understand you, but that he and your thinking seemed to be on the same channel forever. You have been very Being assertive, you can make up your own mind about a lot of things, which makes your mother feel uneasy, because they dare not imagine what a different kind of person will be like in the future. But your father taught her to trust you, your father said you He must be a capable person in the future."

Long Xuejun's eye sockets were a little moist. To be honest, he didn't communicate much with his father since he was a child.

As Liao Yuancheng said, how much do I know about my father?

"You must think that I don't trust you, right? You must also think it's not worth the risk to bring me back to Lincheng, right?" He asked Long Xuejun this question.

Long Xuejun didn't speak, his face was a little embarrassed, he didn't even dare to turn his head.

Liao Yuancheng said: "Actually, I didn't disbelieve you, but I haven't figured out what I should do next! According to the agreement, I have to wait now, but this kind of waiting is very tormenting for me. This kind of torment is yours. Incomprehensible and incomprehensible.”

Shen Chen squinted his eyes, waiting and suffering?What is Liao Yuancheng waiting for?Why this kind of waiting is such a torment, Shen Shen can't figure it out.

Shen Shen said, "Are you waiting for my father?"

When Shen Chen said this, both Liao Yuancheng and Long Xuejun were taken aback. Long Xuejun asked first: "Your father is really alive? The old beggar is really your father, right?"

"Is your father still alive?" This is what Liao Yuancheng asked.

Shen Chen didn't know how to explain it, he said, "I just said that casually, can you not react so much? I almost lost my grip on the steering wheel."

Long Xuejun is very stupid: "No, you should know something, tell me quickly, is your father still alive, is he that old beggar?" Long Xuejun had such doubts before, don't It seems that what he and Shen Chen said in the first time was just a joke, but at that time he really thought so in his heart.

Shen Shen sighed: "I don't know. Of course, from my heart, I hope he is still alive. I'm not sure if he is still alive. Now I only know that the person who died back then was not my father. And Uncle Gangzi made a fake death certificate at the behest of my dad. In other words, the funeral my mom and I held for my dad, and the person buried in the cemetery is not my dad at all."

Liao Yuancheng became a little excited when he heard the words: "No wonder!"

Shen Shen asked: "No wonder what?"

Long Xuejun replied for Liao Yuancheng: "No wonder your father asked him to wait. The person he has been waiting for may really be your father." .

Sitting beside him, Shen Chen naturally noticed this slight change: "What's wrong with you?"

"If your father is still alive, then my father who didn't know what to do may be dead. Maybe the man you buried in the cemetery is my father." Long Xuejun is a straight man. But he never detours, and he will speak directly when he has something to say.

It has to be said that Long Xuejun's idea is really possible.

Long Xuejun turned his head and pondered: "Tell me, if that's the case, did my father die for your father?"

This question made Shen Chen also dumb.

When the car arrived at the dining place, the three of them didn't say anything at the moment, and the atmosphere became a little dull.

Shen Chen knew that if his father was really alive, the last person who came into contact with his father at that time should be Long Xuejun's father, and Long Xuejun's father had disappeared since that time, no matter how Long Xuejun searched, he could not find him His traces, now it seems that it is really possible that the person who died was Long Xuejun's father, and he may even have died in place of Shen Shen's father.

But Shen Chen is unwilling to accept such a thing, because if this is the case, there is one thing he can't accept emotionally, that is, his father not only faked his death, but also made arrangements in advance to let Liao Yuancheng leave his hometown, and then One day, he called Liao Yuancheng back and asked Liao Yuancheng to wait for his appearance. In this way, the death of Long Xuejun's father was also part of the plan!

He didn't believe that his father would let someone else die for him!

After sitting down, it was Liao Yuancheng who ordered the dishes. He smiled and said to the two of them that what he ordered was what he liked, and he didn't take care of their tastes.

But where did Shen Chen and Long Xuejun have the mood to think about what to eat, at this time they were all thinking about it.

Liao Yuancheng didn't expect this to happen, and he was also a little worried. The relationship between Shen Chen and Long Xuejun had become very close, like brothers.If there is a gap between the two people because of this matter, then it is obviously not a good thing for either of them.

Liao Yuancheng coughed twice, successfully attracting their attention.

Liao Yuancheng said: "Everything is just our guess now, maybe it is not the case. So, Shenzi, Xiaolong, I hope you don't think so much for the time being, you have to believe that even if it is as we guessed, they must have The reason for doing this, whether it is Shen Zi's father or Xiaolong's father, their starting point is the same, and the purpose of doing this is also the same, do you understand what I said?"

Neither of them spoke.

Liao Yuancheng sighed again: "Many times, there are always people who have to sacrifice, isn't it? Just like me, if Shen Zi's father is really gone, then I will always have to live the life I have now."

Both of them looked at Liao Yuancheng, they didn't quite understand why Liao Yuancheng said that.

Liao Yuancheng smiled wryly: "You should have watched "Infernal Affairs", right? In fact, I am the same as the male protagonist. I am not an ordinary informant. I, my real identity is a policeman, but the only people who can confirm my identity now are There is no one else for Shen Chen's father."

Shen Chen didn't expect that Liao Yuancheng was actually a policeman.

And he could tell that Liao Yuancheng hadn't lied, and it seemed that even Tan Ke and Huang Xinfa didn't know about it.

Long Xuejun said: "These years, when you knew his father was dead, did you feel very hopeless?"

Liao Yuancheng thought for a while: "I did have this feeling at first, but I quickly adjusted my mentality, and I knew that I still had a mission to complete. I must complete the mission that Lao Shen entrusted to me. Only in this way can I not feel sorry for Lao Shen. Of course, if there is no Lao Shen, I will not be where I am now."
