When Lin Shuyue and the other two came out of the newspaper office, Li Weisheng couldn't wait to say, "I know about this project. It was initiated by the capital. Each city will have a relatively representative female criminal. The news came a week ago. As far as I know, the city TV station is going crazy to grab this opportunity."
Although Li Weisheng had been away for half a month, his network of connections was not broken. He had met several people with the help of his uncle, so he did have a network of connections. On the first day he came back, Li Weisheng's friend called him.
However, Li Weisheng did not expect that the Women's Federation would directly give the interview task to Lin Shuyue.
You should know that this documentary will not only be broadcast on the city TV station's legal channel, but will also be selected to be broadcast in the capital and become an episode in the series of documentaries on the central TV station. Under normal circumstances, such a task with the "national" label is not the turn of outside newspapers, and the reporters of the city TV station alone are not enough.
Huang Qiang was not surprised by this: "It is easy to understand. Most of the news Ah Yue reported during this period spoke for women and children. Many of her reports are worth pondering. Especially those reports triggered by the wrongful convictions. This is consistent with the Women's Federation's philosophy of 'propaganda and implementation of the Law on the Protection of Women's Rights and Interests, and use legal weapons to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of women and children.'"
"It's normal for the Women's Federation to give this opportunity to Ah Yue. Let's not talk about the Women's Federation, isn't the Public Security Bureau also very good to Ah Yue?"
Huang Qiang said this with some emotion. The Public Security Bureau, especially the Criminal Investigation Team, has always been not very fond of the media, especially private companies like theirs. Especially when it comes to criminal cases, if they don't hold a case announcement meeting, they rarely know the details of the case.
But since Lin Shuyue established a relationship with the criminal investigation team of the Public Security Bureau, their newspaper has reported a lot more legal news, and they know many details very clearly. This kind of criminal case has the best sales, and one more detail can lead to more reports.
Nowadays, when people in Pengcheng want to read legal news, they subconsciously look for Pengcheng Metropolitan Daily first.
Not only that, when their company's reporters went to interview and encountered the police handling a case, they would look much better and be willing to talk to them more when they knew they were reporters from Pengcheng Metropolis Daily. This was something that benefited the entire newspaper, and for this reason alone, it was worth it for Wang Mingzheng to focus on training her.
Now that the unit's news department is vacant, no matter who takes the position in the department, they have to provide for Lin Shuyue.
It is impossible for someone like Zhao Bing to appear.
Lin Shuyue also thought of this, and she was still very happy, because as a journalist who changed careers halfway through her career, it was her honor to be able to participate in a documentary jointly produced by the Central TV Station, the Municipal TV Station and the Women's Federation.
The three of them went downstairs while talking. At the door, Lin Shuyue saw Zhong Jiali, who lived next door and had two faces towards men and women, got into the car of the foreigner that Lin Shuyue had seen before.
Lin Shuyue and the other two were riding in Lin Shuyue's car. As soon as they got in, Huang Qiang and Li Weisheng started to discuss the matter.
Although they all have cars, no man can resist the temptation of a new car.
The two of them chatted with each other and carefully studied Lin Shuyue's car from inside to outside.
Lin Shuyue listened with a smile. She got into this car yesterday, but she hasn't returned home yet.
The three of them arrived at the Public Security Bureau. Lin Shuyue and the other two got out of the car and happened to meet Hang Jiabai who had arrested Li Tiangong from Huicheng.
Ye Xueyu followed behind him and waved to Lin Shuyue. Li Tiangong's eyes fell on the car behind Lin Shuyue, and then he suddenly realized.
Hang Jiabai pushed him and said, "Hurry up and leave."
Lin Shuyue and the other two also followed him up. Li Tiangong was taken into the interrogation room, while Lin Shuyue and the other two surrounded Ye Xueyu and talked to her.
Ye Xueyu said: "When I went to Li Tiangong's home with the Hangzhou team and colleagues from Huicheng, he was purifying heavy water in the laboratory at the reservoir."
Catching him purifying heavy water was enough evidence. Li Tiangong was very surprised when he was caught. Until they said that he poisoned Ma Yanmin, Li Tiangong still calmly argued.
"He surrendered only after we threw evidence of his murder in front of him. When we came down from the mountain, his mother burst into tears when she saw him handcuffed. When our colleagues from Huicheng came over to see, they found out that his mother was not paralyzed at all, but her legs were broken and her tongue was cut off by him."
When Lin Shuyue, Huang Qiang and Li Weisheng heard Ye Xueyu say this, their eyes widened.
"Isn't this Li Tiangong said to be very filial? Didn't he say that because his father was sick, he didn't even go to the good unit assigned by the school."
Ye Xueyu had already received the answer from the police in Huicheng regarding Lin Shuyue's question: "People in Huicheng interviewed villagers in Li Tiangong's village. Li Tiangong's father has two sons, one is Li Tiangong, and the other is Li Tiangong's brother, Li Chenggong. Compared to Li Tiangong, Li Chenggong is his father's pride. But later, Li Tiangong's eldest brother died of illness, and Li Tiangong's father was very strict with him."
"He was strict with Li Tiangong in his studies and in his life. He was so strict that if Li Tiangong's test score was less than 100, he would be beaten. If he made a mistake in writing a word during homework, he would be punished by not being allowed to eat for the whole night."
"Oh, Li Tiangong's father is a teacher." Ye Xueyu sighed.
There are many parents in this world who want their children to be successful, and there are also many extreme parents like Li Tiangong's father.
Most children who grow up in such families will have a bad relationship with their parents.
"According to Li Tiangong's mother, Li Tiangong killed Li Tiangong's father. Li Tiangong cut her tongue and broke her legs."
Li Weisheng took a deep breath and said, "Hiss~ Isn't this too cruel?"
"Perverted thoughts, who knows."
Lin Shuyue said: "Living under high pressure for a long time, he has become abnormal."
"Then Li Tiangong's mother didn't say why Li Tiangong treated her like that?" Lin Shuyue asked.
Ye Xueyu said: "I asked, and Li Tiangong's mother said that the reason why Li Tiangong treated her like this was because she chose to remain silent when her husband was teaching their second son. Sometimes she couldn't stand the atmosphere and would go outside to work and hide."
Huang Qiang sighed, "Just from your words, I can tell that Li Tiangong's family was ruled by his father. In a couple's life, one is more dominant and the other is more submissive. It's understandable that his mother doesn't dare to confront his father head-on."
Li Weisheng discovered a brilliant point: "His mother's tongue was cut off, so how did she say these words?"
"It's written. Are people not allowed to learn to write?" Ye Xueyu retorted to Li Weisheng. Hang Jiabai called her from above, so she waved to Lin Shuyue and went to get busy.
Lin Shuyue and the other two were staying in the reception hall on the first floor. He Yuling poured them a glass of water.
Half an hour later, Hang Jiabai came down and the three of them gave him a brief interview.
After the interview, Lin Shuyue and the other two left the Public Security Bureau.
The three of them went to a food stall and ordered five pounds of crayfish, and Huang Qiang treated them.
Every time you eat the garlic-flavored crayfish and the spicy-flavored crayfish, you will find that its taste becomes more delicious.
The three of them talked and ate, and there were a lot of shrimp shells on the table. Crayfish and beer are a perfect match, but Lin Shuyue drove tonight, so she could only watch Huang Qiang and Li Weisheng sip beer with envy.
After eating the crayfish, Lin Shuyue sent the two home, then thought for a while and drove to Xiasha Village.
It was past six o'clock, and the fast food restaurant was very busy. Luo Zhengjun's cooking skills were good and the portions were generous, so many people liked to eat at his restaurant. Lin Shuxing was busy serving food and collecting plates.
Lin Shuyue got out of the car, walked over and collected the empty bowls on the table outside.
Lin Shuxing didn't look up, and when she saw someone coming over with an empty bowl, she immediately said, "You don't need to collect the bowls after you finish eating, just put them on the table and I'll do it."
"It's okay, I'll help you."
Lin Shuxing heard the familiar voice, raised her head, saw Lin Shuyue, and laughed: "Why are you here? Are you back from work?"
Lin Shuxing and Luo Zhengjun opened a fast food restaurant. Sometimes when she was busy, Lin Shuxing would not go back to sleep. But every day when she was not busy, she would call Lou Fengqin. Lin Shuxing also knew that Lin Shuyue did not go back to sleep last night.
"I'm done with my work. I just sent my colleague home and came to see you on the way." Lin Shuyue took the rag beside her and helped her wipe the table. Lin Shuxing smiled, wiped the sweat off her own face, and served food to the new customers.
Almost half an hour later, Luo Zhengjun came back pushing a tricycle. Lin Shuyue called him brother-in-law. Luo Zhengjun smiled shyly and took out a bag of mangoes from the tricycle.
"Your sister called me and said you liked it and asked me to bring you some when I come back."
"Thank you, brother-in-law." Lin Shuyue glanced at Lin Shuxing and thanked him with a smile.
Luo Zhengjun waved his hand, followed her into the house, took over the work from Lin Shuxing and started working.
Clear the dishes and clean up.
Lin Shuxing finally had time to chat with Lin Shuyue. At this time, there were fewer people coming to eat, so the two of them sat at the table at the door.
Lin Shuxing poured Lin Shuyue a cup of tea from the table. The tea tasted light and was very cold, but it was just right to drink a cup of it in the hot night with the breeze blowing gently.
"Sister, did you see that car?" Lin Shuyue peeled a mango and pointed towards the river across the street.
Lin Shuxing had already seen the car: "I saw it, what's wrong?"
Lin Shuyue smiled proudly at Lin Shuxing: "Our newspaper gave it to me as a reward."
Lin Shuxing widened her eyes, stopped drinking her tea, and ran quickly towards the car.
"Sister, you are awesome. How come you are so good!" She praised loudly while running.
After hearing what the two said, Luo Zhengjun also walked out of the store, gave Lin Shuyue a thumbs up, and walked over to walk around the car.
Both of them were very happy for Lin Shuyue.
Lin Shuyue sat outside the store and watched with a smile on her face. When a customer finished his meal and left, Lin Shuyue went to collect the bowls and put them in the sink.
When Lin Shuxing and Luo Zhengjun came back, the last customer who had dined in the restaurant had also left.
Lin Shuxing was busy again, so Lin Shuyue followed her to the sink behind the store to wash dishes. There was a door next to the sink. Going a little further inside this door was the residence of Lin Shuxing and Luo Zhengjun.
The two of them divided the work, one washed the first time, and the other washed the second time. Since sitting down to wash, Lin Shuxing's mouth has not stopped, and eight out of ten sentences are about how good her sister is.
The smile on Lin Shuyue's face never fell. There is no one who doesn't like to be praised.
After putting the dishes into the sterilizer, Lin Shuyue took out a bank card and put it into Lin Shuxing's hand.
Lin Shuxing was stunned when she saw what was in her hand, and then asked: "Why did you give me the bank card?"
When Lin Shuxing bought a house, Lin Shuyue wanted to hand this bank card to Lin Shuxing, but unfortunately she was on a secret visit at that time. When she came back, Lin Shuxing had already bought the house. In addition, Bai Xuanting's incident happened, so Lin Shuyue didn't have time.
She was out yesterday and didn't go home, so she just gave it to her today. She also saved all her bonuses during this period to make it a whole number. There is a total of 20,000 yuan in this card.
"A gift for your wedding and new house." Lin Shuyue said with a smile.
Lin Shuxing was unwilling to take it: "My store is doing well, and your brother-in-law gave me all the money to manage. I have no shortage of money, you can take it back and buy more nice clothes. If you really can't afford it, you can save it and buy a house after a while."
"The money in your hand is yours, and the money I give you is a token of my appreciation. Sis, your sister is amazing. The company has awarded me a car as a reward. If I works harder, I'll probably have a house, too. You don't have to worry about me."
Lin Shuxing looked at the bank card in her hand, then at Lin Shuyue. She thought about it and took it. Her sister was an intern before, and although she was now a full-time employee, she was buying cosmetics and equipment, so there probably wasn't much money in the card, so she put it in her pocket.
"The password is your birthday." Lin Shuyue said with a smile.
"I know, I know."
While the two sisters were talking, Luo Zhengjun had already cleaned the store. Luo Zhengjun locked the door, and the three of them went out together. Lin Shuyue was going to drive her new car to take them home.
Sitting in this car, Lin Shuxing had a different feeling. She felt that the night view of Pengcheng was really beautiful.
Luo Zhengjun looked at his wife's profile and felt that he should also buy a car. With a car it would be convenient to go anywhere.
It was already eight o'clock when they got home. Zeng Xiaoyi and Lin Shuyang were still doing their homework. Bai Xuanting didn't leave either. She was watching from the side.
She stopped going to school at the age of fifteen. Now if she wants to continue her studies, she has to start from junior high school. Lin Shuyang and Zeng Xiaoyi have been giving her extra lessons during this period.
When Lin Shuyue came back, Bai Xuanting walked up to her and said to her in a friendly manner, "Second sister, my father took me to transfer my household registration today. I will no longer be called Bai Xuanting in the future."
The name Bai Xuanting was given to her by Bai Wenwu. Bai Xuanting didn't like it very much. She liked the name Pingping very much, especially when people called her that, she felt warm all over.
"Hello Pingping, welcome home." Lin Shuyue reached out and held her hand, saying it with care.
Bai Pingping's face was a little red, but her eyes were sparkling.
Lin Shuxing came in from outside: "Mom and Uncle Bai haven't come back yet?"
"Uncle Bai bought the house next door, and mom and Uncle Bai are cleaning it out." Lin Shuyang replied.
The house next door is the home of Grandma Zhang, who once wanted to alienate Lin Shuyue and Lin Shuxing.
"Why is her family selling the house?"
Lin Shuxing knew: "Her son is dating the widow Liu who runs a mahjong parlor in the village. The widow Liu wants to live in an apartment in the city. If he wants to marry her, he has to spend some money, right?"
Widow Liu in the village was a native of Pingsha Village. Her husband died less than two years after she got married to Pingsha Village. She never remarried and opened a mahjong hall with her son.
She have a rich love history, but she have a principle: 'I only date men who are single. I am in my forties now, and I bought a house for my son last year with my savings. Now I have no money left, and my son has married, so I am ready to find a man to keep him company.'
Although the situation at the neighboring family of Grandma Zhang was complicated, her son was very easy on the ears, and Widow Liu didn't have to do anything to persuade him. He took the initiative to say that he would take care of Widow Liu for the rest of her life. In order to let Widow Liu be closer to her son, she sold the house despite Grandma Zhang's objections.
No matter how much Grandma Zhang made a fuss, it was of no use because before her husband died, the house was directly transferred to her son's name, and she couldn't stop him from selling it.
Bai Wenhua paid the house price in the morning and went to check the household registration in the afternoon. He also moved Bai Pingping's household registration and changed her name.
After Lin Shuyue learned about this, she sincerely admired him: "Uncle Bai is indeed a military man, his efficiency is so fast."
Bai Pingping was very excited. She was leaving Bai Wenwu and Qian Shouyun and no longer had to please others around men. No matter what she did, even if she had to eat coarse food, she felt it was a good life. What's more, her father was so good, and Aunt Lou's family was so good too.
"Dad and Aunt Lou were discussing it today. They said they wanted to build the side wall of the courtyard. This way, it will be more convenient for our family to come and go in the future."
Grandma Zhang's house is much bigger than Lin Shuyue's. Grandma Zhang knows how to manage her life. There are two vegetable plots in the yard. With these two vegetable plots, she doesn't have to go out to buy vegetables all year round.
In the past, Grandma Zhang had shown off in front of Lin Shuyue and her mother and daughter more than once. Now this thing has become theirs.
Lin Shuxing was very happy.
After washing up, Lin Shuyue went to her room to write a manuscript. Bai Pingping and the others knew that she had to work, so they tactfully did not disturb her.
Lin Shuyue was writing Li Tiangong's manuscript, and she used the words "Deadly Water Delivery Worker" in the article.
In terms of content, she started with Ma Yanmin's illness and brought Li Tiangong's actions over the years to the public's attention.
After finishing writing, Lin Shuyue connected the camera and uploaded the footage of Li Tiangong's water delivery vehicle and his arrest to the computer, and sent them to Wang Mingzheng.
The email received a reply quickly. Lin Shuyue looked at the time displayed on the computer and it was already eleven o'clock.
Editor-in-chief Wang Mingzheng really works all year round!
Bai Pingping is sleeping tonight in the newly purchased house next door. She is sleeping alone tonight.
Before going to bed, Lin Shuyue opened the good and evil discrimination system, wrote Lin Jianxin's name in it, and then clicked on Bai Wenwu's name in the list of the realm of reincarnation.
The good and evil discrimination system quickly revealed Bai Wenwu's appearance in the realm of reincarnation.
Bai Wenwu had changed his appearance at this moment. He was only about three or four years old and was hidden in a small cellar. He was the only one around him. He curled up on the straw-covered ground, with cockroaches crawling past him.
With a creak, the cellar lid was opened, and a young man in his twenties or thirties walked down the ladder with a box of lunch in his hand. Standing under the light, the young man's face finally appeared.
He looked exactly like Bai Wenwu when he was young.
Bai Wenwu looked at himself, who was exceptionally tall and strong, and didn't understand why he was still here.
Last night he had clearly escaped from the cage he had built for those kids when he was young.
Bai Wenwu has pinched his thighs and slapped himself before. He felt pain and cried. The temperature in the cellar was icy cold. He was not dreaming!
Bai Wenwu, who was in his twenties, threw the lunch box in front of him and said, "Eat quickly, don't think about running away, you can't run away. Someone will come to take you away soon. I tell you, they are not as easy to talk to as I am!"
Bai Wenwu was very familiar with this sentence. During the two years when he was the third in a gang of kidnapped children, he often said this to the children he had hidden.
Bai Wenwu once thought that he was a particularly kind person. After all, compared with other people, he did not beat or scold those children, and he would often chat with them and comfort them. He was already a rare good person.
But when the roles were reversed and he became one of the children he had hidden when he was young, he realized how hateful he was when he was young...
Lin Shuyue took out a bottle of water from her backpack and drank it, then took out a small trash box that she had folded when she was bored at work, and watched Bai Wenwu's performance while cracking melon seeds.
She watched Bai Wenwu find various opportunities to escape from the cellar after he left when he was young, but no matter how he escaped, he would still be caught. She watched Bai Wenwu tormented until he was exhausted, beaten by the people who came to "pick up the goods", put into the iron box under the cart selling fried dough twists, and was fed sleeping pills and sent away in a daze.
When he woke up again, he was sold to the mountains and became the son of an old bachelor. The old bachelor spent his life savings to buy him to prepare for his old age. He would beat him if he didn't obey, but since he was not his own child, he didn't feel sorry for beating him.
If he ran away, he would be caught by the old bachelor and tied up with an iron chain and beaten three times a day. Gradually, Bai Wenwu was beaten more and more, and his character became cowardly, and he almost forgot his past life.
He grew up slowly in the mountain village, and saw his old man to his death. Without any survival skills, and because of the restrictions of the reincarnation realm, Bai Wenwu could not leave the mountain village, nor could he marry a wife. In the end, he was killed by a rock falling from the mountain while farming.
The dead Bai Wenwu thought he was finally free, but when he opened his eyes again, he was in the same small cellar again. The only difference this time was that he had turned into a woman. He tried to escape again, but was caught again. This time, he was sold to the same small mountain village.
The only difference from before was that this time he became a fool's child bride. From the moment he entered the door, he was tied with a rope and could never go out except that shabby home.
When he was twelve years old, he was slept with by a fool. The next year, he became pregnant and gave birth to a son. But before he could even take a second look at the child, his miserable life began.
He was still locked in that room. Even though he was still in confinement, there were men coming into his room every day. For a piece of fruit and a handful of rice, they would sleep with him.
He couldn't even die, he gradually went crazy, and finally ended his life with an iron chain. When he woke up again, he was still in the cellar...
•••••
Lin Shuyue had stopped eating melon seeds without realizing it. Bai Wenwu's reincarnations were extremely miserable.
In each of his lives, he experienced the sufferings of the children of this world. Although Lin Shuyue felt relieved about Bai Wenwu's life in prison, she felt more sad for the children who were abducted.
No matter how miserable Bai Wenwu's life is in the realm of reincarnation, he can never bring back the childhood of those children whose lives were ruined by them.
"Boom..." There was a loud thunder outside, lighting up half of the sky. Lin Shuyue heard footsteps. It was Lou Fengqin who got up to collect the things in the yard that couldn't be exposed to the rain.
Lin Shuyue took a sip of water, sorted herself out, and clicked Qian Shouyun's name.
This is Qian Shouyun's first life in the realm of reincarnation.
She was born into a wealthy family. She had parents who loved her, brothers and sisters who loved her. She was loved by everyone. She had whatever she wanted and could eat whatever she wanted.
Qian Shouyun felt extremely happy. She felt that her life was very good now. She was extremely satisfied and smiled happily every day.
Then suddenly one day, she was kidnapped, right on the street, in the arms of her mother in this life.
Qian Shouyun's expression changed drastically and she cried incessantly. Then her ears were twisted. She raised her head and suddenly found that the person who kidnapped her was very familiar. It was herself in the previous life.
No one knows her better than herself. Qian Shouyun sweetly calls her sister in the previous life, and obediently says that she will obey her and begs her to send her back. However, she in the previous life is unmoved.
She was locked up in the cellar where Bai Wenwu once imprisoned children. After three days, she was sold and became the daughter of a family that did not have much money.
From the moment she entered that family, no matter how well-behaved or cute she was, no one liked her anymore. She did the most tiring work and ate the least meals. She tried to escape countless times but could never escape from that village.
No matter how many ways she tried to leave, she would eventually be found. When she was of marriageable age, she got married to a man in his fifties because the parents who bought her had a son who was also getting married and needed a dowry.
She gave birth to a son for the old man, but before she could do anything, the old man felt that he had no money to raise a child, so he sold her to another old man.
She became a reproductive tool for those old men, because she was fertile and cheap, more and more old men bought her, and she finally died in childbirth.
When she opened her eyes again, she was reborn. This time, she became a boy, the child of a powerful family. From the moment she was born, she had an aunt who took care of her.
She had the memories of her previous life, so she was very careful. She would stay at home if possible and remembered as many phone numbers, names and addresses of her family members as possible.
Because she was young and smart, she was particularly liked by others. Her grandfather, a high-ranking official, would hold her on his lap when eating.
But no matter how she defended herself, she was still kidnapped and ended up in Bai Wenwu's cellar again.
She escaped at night and called her parents and grandfather in this life from a phone booth. Then she was discovered, her hands and feet were broken, and she was sent to a beggar group, becoming a beggar in subway stations and on the streets.
During this period, she even wanted to climb up the social ladder, but she failed every time. In the end, because she was old, she could no longer beg for money, and she froze to death on the street on a cold winter night.
She thought death would be the end and a relief, but when she opened her eyes again, she welcomed her second life... It was still a happy beginning, but ended with a painful life after being kidnapped by human traffickers.
•••••
Lin Shuyue closed the realm of reincarnation. The feeling she had when she watched Qian Shouyun in the realm of reincarnation was the same as when she watched Bai Wenwu in the realm of reincarnation.
She feel happy but also painful.
It was raining outside, heavy rain pouring down, accompanied by rumbling thunder, making people feel more and more irritated.
But she slept surprisingly well. When Lin Shuyue opened her eyes the next day, as expected, there was a newspaper from the future next to her pillow.
Before she could take a closer look, the phone she had placed next to her pillow for charging rang. Lin Shuyue picked it up and saw that it was a call from Huang Qiang.
"Ah Yue, hurry to Wangsan Village in the western suburbs. Someone was burned to death here last night."
