Original sin

Sister Lan let out a long sigh of relief, Liu Bai and Tao Min are fine, it seems that she is overthinking, maybe what she met was a boring drunk driver.However, Sister Lan was still angry. She asked the traffic police if they had caught that fat man, but the traffic police said they hadn't caught anyone, they just found the modified car.

The car is a black car, and it should have been scrapped for several years, but every part inside is new, even the engine, so the performance of this car is really good, even some cars worth 40 to [-] yuan Less than such performance.

The traffic policeman who was in charge of this matter said that this car was either played by an enthusiast, or it was deliberately built by someone with ulterior motives.

This made Sister Lan's relaxed mood tense up again. If it was the second type, then her guess just now was not wrong. The other party's purpose was to drive them away and then do something.I and the little policewoman came to protect Liu Bai and Tao Min's safety, and the purpose of sending them away was naturally to harm Liu Bai and his wife, but they didn't take any action, which made people a little confused.

"Sister Lan, do you want to tell Captain Fu?"

The little policewoman asked her, and she said, "If you say it, you must say it. You can see how the car has crashed. It's not okay if you don't say hello. Besides, I don't understand this matter now. "

It was already 40:[-] p.m. when Fu Hong received Sister Lan's call.

But he hadn't slept yet, he was still reading a book in the study, when the phone rang, he glanced at it was Sister Lan and quickly answered it.

"Oh? There is such a thing. Are you really sure that Liu Bai and Tao Min are okay? Oh, oh, that's good. In this way, keep an eye on it and remember it. No matter what happens in the future, don't worry about it. The task is to keep them safe for me, understand?"

Sister Lan knew that Fu Hong should attach great importance to the safety of Liu Bai and Tao Min, so she didn't dare to take it lightly, and hurriedly agreed.

After hanging up Sister Lan's phone, Fu Hong immediately called Huang Meng.

"Mengzi, you really hit the spot. The other party can't help but want to attack Liu Bai and his wife. Although they only played this game tentatively, I believe that once they decide on the action The plan will definitely come up again." Fu Hong talked about the matter roughly and then expressed his feelings.

After hearing this, Huang Meng said, "Captain Fu, I don't think they are probing. They should have already taken action. Otherwise, it would be meaningless to divert the tiger away from the mountain."

If the other party really turned the tiger away from the mountain, then they succeeded. They attracted the attention of Sister Lan and the little policewoman, and made Sister Lan and the others chase after the drunk driver, but did they attack Liu Bai? I don't know about it, I only know that Liu Bai and Tao Min are fine.

"Of course, this possibility cannot be ruled out. The other party doesn't really want that. If they really want to deal with Liu Bai, they probably want to negotiate with Liu Bai and reach a tacit understanding. Liu Bai will treat us. Conceal it." Huang Meng's thoughts became more and more delicate.

"Fine, you boy, now you have learned to analyze, not bad, not bad!" If Fu Hong were with Huang Meng at this moment, he would definitely raise his hand to pat Huang Meng on the head.

Before Fu Hong could finish speaking, Huang Meng added: "In the end, it's also very likely that Liu Bai had something in his heart. He clearly knew that the other party's target was himself, but he didn't dare to speak out."

"If it's really like what you said, then the other party will definitely attack again. Why don't I send more people to Sister Lan's side."

Huang Meng didn't speak, squinted his eyes and didn't know what was going on in his heart.

Fu Hong lit a cigarette: "Why, you should be happy, why are you frowning?"

Huang Meng said: "I was thinking, what method did Liu Bai use to avoid the danger, if the other party really wanted to kill him, how did he get out of the danger."

Judging from the other party's means, the other party should have planned and premeditated, so the possibility of the other party's miss is really small, but Liu Bai is actually fine.

Fu Hong was also questioned, and he realized that he had never thought about such a thing.

"What do you think?"

Huang Meng still didn't think it through, he could only shake his head: "I haven't figured it out yet."

At Liu Bai's house, he and Tao Min lay on the bed again, but this time neither of them could fall asleep.

Tao Min said softly, "This time it's a pass, what about the next time?"

Liu Bai shook his head, he didn't know what to do, he was a little scared now, he never thought of causing such consequences later.

"It's clearly aimed at Ye Qingzhu, who is this Ye Qingzhu?"

Tao Min asked in a low voice, Liu Bai still shook his head.

Seeing Liu Bai remained silent, Tao Min asked again: "Are you afraid?"

Liu Bai bit his lip, his face turned blue: "Are you going to report on me?"

Tao Min frowned: "What are you thinking? Am I that kind of person? I'm just worried about you, okay? And I don't even know what you have provoked. You can see that there should be a gang behind their actions. You say , could it be your teacher..."

Liu Bai said, "Impossible."

"Who could it be?" Tao Min knew it was useless to ask, and Liu Bai didn't know how to answer at all.

But Liu Bai turned sideways and looked at her: "I have a question I've always wanted to ask you."

Tao Min said softly, "You mean the dark room?"

Liu Bai nodded, and Tao Min said, "As I said, I'm a fan of old cameras."

"But the door of the darkroom shouldn't be designed like this."

Tao Min smiled wryly: "We were not together at the time, and I was the only woman in the house. At that time, I thought that if a thief broke into the house one day, I would have a safe hiding place."

Liu Bai didn't ask any more questions, but he still had doubts about Tao Min's rhetoric. He didn't think there was anything weird about this dark room before, but after today he really discovered the true beauty of this dark room, which is exactly what happened. , he began to re-examine the woman beside him.

"The night Ye Qingzhu died, did you drug me in the water?"

"En." Liu Bai didn't deny it, he knew Tao Min was very smart, and he could figure out some of the key points right away.

"I really didn't expect that you would be so impulsive."

"It's not impulsive. I have endured it for too long. I gave them a chance, but they didn't reflect on their own problems. They forced me to take this step in the end. I don't allow them to trample on my art like this again. Those works It's like my child, but every time they force my child to be born prematurely, let them have such and other defects, I really can't bear it."

There was a painful expression on Liu Bai's face, and Tao Min stretched out his hand to stroke his face: "Okay, it's okay now, you can pursue any kind of art you want, it's okay."

Liu Bai pursed his lips: "Is that dark room really that simple?"

he asked again, still obsessed with the dark room.

Tao Min smiled: "Okay, since you want to know, let me tell you, there is a story about that dark room, but this story can only be told in the future, promise me, don't be so impulsive in doing things in the future, think twice Okay, and also, you must create your favorite works. Didn’t you say that these works are your children? Then you should try your best to make each of your children outstanding. Blind their eyes."

Liu Bai was very moved in his heart, he felt that only Tao Min was the one who understood him best.

He nodded vigorously, and Tao Min patted him: "Go to sleep, let's talk about something tomorrow."

Early the next morning, when Liu Bai opened his eyes, he found that Tao Min beside him was gone, and there was an envelope on the bedside table, which read: Dear old Liu Qi.

Tao Min came to Fu Hong's office just after the Municipal Bureau began to work. Fu Hong already knew about it. Sister Lan reported to Tao Min when he left home.

"Ms. Tao, why are you here?" Fu Hong greeted her warmly, then welcomed her into his office, and poured her a glass of water himself.

Tao Min looked very serious. She took a sip of water and said to Fu Hong, "Captain Fu, I'm here to surrender."

Fu Hong's eyes widened all of a sudden: "What?"

"I came here to surrender. I killed Xie Changqing and Ye Qingzhu." Tao Min said calmly, and there was a poignant smile on her face.

Fu Hong came back to his senses: "Ms. Tao, this joke is not funny at all. It is so early in the morning, you are not here to tease me, are you?"

Fu Hong would never believe that Tao Min really turned himself in, but he also had some expectations in his heart. After all, he and Huang Meng were still talking about this case last night. At least they had locked their suspicions on Liu Bai's body.

"What I said is true." Tao Min still looked calm.

Fu Hong nodded slightly: "Are you serious?"

"Yes." Tao Min nodded vigorously in response.

Fu Hong took a deep breath, walked to the desk, picked up the intercom phone and called Huang Meng: "Mengzi, come here."

Fu Hong sat down on the sofa again, and said, "Ms. Tao, you should know what you are doing now, and I hope you can be responsible for your words and deeds."

Tao Min said softly, "I understand."

Liu Bai looked at the letter Tao Min left him, and his tears flowed down all at once.

He wanted to run away and chase Tao Min back, but he knew it was too late.

"Old Liu, I am very glad to have met you in this life. You let me know what love is, and what is human warmth. Aren't you always curious about that dark room? I grew up in a single-parent family and lived with my mother. Later, my mother remarried. Now, my stepfather is an alcoholic. He gets drunk all day long and beats and scolds my mother and me every time. Every time I get beaten, I think how much it would be if there was an empty house in this family that he doesn’t know about. Well, as long as I hide in the house as soon as he comes back, he will never be able to hit me again. Do you know where I like to hide most at that time? In the closet, but he will find it every time..."

"Old Liu, I really didn't expect you to be so brave for your art, to kill people. But Xie Changqing really deserves to die, he has been exploiting you, using you to get everything he wants, but never giving you real respect , you killed him for the sake of dignity. I don't think there is anything wrong with you. On the contrary, you are a real man in my heart. And that Ye Qingzhu, in fact, I really don't like her from the bottom of my heart. This is Professor Wang's woman, and she is working with Xie Changqing, but you don't know, there is no clear relationship between her and Xie Changqing, and the studio has been messed up by them..."

"Old Liu, when you read this letter, I have already gone to the police station. I am going to bear all the charges for you. In fact, all of us know very well that the police have never let go of their concern for Xie Changqing's death. Your suspicion is just that they haven't found evidence of your crime yet, but it will happen sooner or later. I know you have the habit of keeping a diary. Originally, your diary was in the bottom drawer of your desk. Suddenly one day , I found it was missing, I remembered later, you hid it every two days after Xie Changqing's accident, but this family is so big, and I know you very well, last night, I found out that In this diary, I have recorded in my heart the process of killing Xie Changqing and Ye Qingzhu, so I know how to respond to police inquiries. Also, forgive me, I burned the diary, you need freedom more than me, Because everything you do is for your art, so you must not ruin yourself because of me, then not only will you not be able to save me, but I will not forgive you either! Lao Liu, I love you, really I love you so much, but I just chose a way that I think can express my love for you, so you don’t have to feel guilty or sad. If there is an afterlife, I will wait for you at the beginning of life, and then walk with you into life The end of it. Your Xiao Min. (Burn it after reading it)”

Liu Bai finally couldn't help crying loudly.

He held the letter tightly to his face, and the tears soaked the letter paper. After a long time, he took out the lighter, lit the letter, watched it turn into ashes, and then poured the ashes into the In the bathroom toilet, run water to flush it away.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room again, his cell phone rang, and after a glance, it was Fu Hong calling, and he had saved the numbers of Fu Hong and Shen Chen.

"Mr. Liu, your wife Tao Min is here. She said she came to surrender herself. Do you know about this?"

Liu Bai didn't speak for a long time, and Fu Hong asked again, Liu Bai came back to his senses, took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and then resumed his usual voice: "Hey, Captain Fu, what are you doing?" What did you say just now, the signal here is not very good, so I can’t hear you very clearly, why surrender, who will surrender?”

Fu Hong was also a little puzzled, he didn't know whether Liu Bai really didn't hear clearly or pretended not to hear clearly, he cleared his throat and said: "Tao Min surrendered to our bureau, saying that she killed Xie Changqing and Ye Qingzhu. "

"Ah? How is it possible? How could she kill someone?" Liu Bai looked surprised. He had already made up his mind to do what Tao Min wanted.
