Chapter 433 Goodbye, Friend
Later that day, Lin Si introduced other aspects of his life here to his brother, took him for a walk up the mountain, let his brother stay with him at the educated youth site for one night, and sent him away the next day.
When others saw Lin Si's brother, they felt a little envious, especially Chen Xiaohua.
Chen Xiaohua has been sending money home all these years, but she rarely receives replies. She originally thought that her parents didn't care about her. However, some time ago, a police comrade told the educated youth everything that the post office had done over the years. Only then did Chen Xiaohua realize that all her money had been taken away by that group of people in the post office.
Chen Xiaohua burst into tears on the spot, crying so hard that he was out of breath and almost vomited.
Seeing her like this, the police sighed and asked her if she remembered how much money she had sent out over the years. If she knew, they would definitely make that group of people spit it out and give it back to her.
Then Chen Xiaohua became rich overnight. A few days later, the police returned Chen Xiaohua's money to her, a total of 650 yuan.
Chen Xiaohua held the money, tears streaming down her face. She felt mixed emotions. She didn't know whether she should be glad that the money was not lost, or resent the people at the post office for making her feel uneasy for so many years, and for not knowing what to do with so much money.
"The money has been returned, Chen Zhiqing, but we still have to remind you that there are certain risks in mailing money directly. You'd better deposit the money in the bank. No matter whether you can return to the city in the future, having this money for self-defense is the most important thing." The old policeman who spoke was also a father. He had a daughter who was about the same age as Chen Xiaohua. That girl was very independent-minded. She never gave her salary to her family, but kept it all in the bank. Now that I think about it, it made sense. Life is not easy for girls, so it's good for them to save more money to support themselves.
Chen Xiaohua nodded randomly with tears in her eyes. As for what she would do with the money in the end, it was up to her to decide.
The investigation into the educated youth case was nearing its end. All the main culprits who had dragged the troublemaker of the educated youth into the mountains had been escorted to the commune police station. Of course, Lin Zhiqiu, who killed all the members of the Zheng family, also had to wait for the verdict.
On the day Lin Zhiqiu was taken away by the police, all the educated youth in the brigade went to see her off.
The young girl with a bright face had long lost the vigor and vitality she had when she first went to the countryside. She hung her head, her hair was disheveled, and she was still wearing the bloodstained clothes. When she heard Fang Qianqian calling her, she slightly raised her head and looked over.
Several female educated youth tried hard to hold back their tears, their eyes as red as rabbits.
"Why are you here? I don't have any good news here. Let's go." Lin Zhiqiu's voice was hoarse. No one knew how much suffering she had been going through these days. She looked very haggard.
Perhaps in her plan, she should die in that mountain, and from then on be accompanied by green hills and clear waters, watching birds singing and flowers blooming in spring, and listening to snow falling in winter. It seems not bad to end such a sloppy life here?
But now, she could no longer make the decision. Her grievances had been heard, so she was willing to face the final outcome with dignity.
It’s just a pity for her parents. They were so reluctant to part with each other at the train station that year, but it turned out to be the last time they saw each other in their lives.
Fang Qianqian took off her coat and put it on her shoulders. "How can it not be a good thing? You have completely woken up from the nightmare and shattered it with your own hands. You are a hero. Not only did you save yourself, you also saved us. Thank you, Lin Zhiqiu, you are the bravest girl I have ever seen!"
"Thank you, Lin Zhiqiu!" others also said sincerely.
"Lin Zhiqiu, don't be afraid, take big steps forward. The darkness in your life has completely disappeared!" He Yuanchao waved his fist vigorously.
Lin Zhiqiu smiled when he heard this, feeling a little relieved and also a little bit grateful for surviving the disaster.
Yes, maybe my ending is not that bad? But even if I need to die in the end, the Zheng family has already died before me, so the few extra days I live are all gains! I can still see the blue sky and feel the sunlight. I am still alive, so I win!
"Got it. I will move forward unwaveringly, and so will you." Lin Zhiqiu put on the coat Fang Qianqian gave her, barely covering the black blood spots on her upper body. She smiled and waved to everyone, "I hope we can all get rid of the darkness and have a bright future ahead. Goodbye, my friends."
Those long-awaited tears finally slid down the young faces. With tearful eyes, they watched Lin Zhiqiu being taken onto the minibus. She sat by the window, still waving at them.
The others also quickly raised their hands and waved them continuously. This might be a farewell forever, but it doesn’t matter. Lin Zhiqiu, everything you have done, we will always remember in our hearts.
The remains of the missing educated youth were brought back by the police comrades when the murderer pointed out the scene.
There are a total of 4 bodies, with white skeletons placed on the ground. These are young lives, buried forever in this land. All the people in the construction team must be held responsible for their deaths, not just the people who killed them.
On the day the verdict came out, Wu Jiesheng turned on the brigade's radio and summoned everyone to gather in the open space at the brigade headquarters.
The eight people headed by Old Man Wang had their hands tied and knelt in the middle of the open space with their heads down, waiting for their own verdict.
The families of the eight people were forced to be present. They stood crowded together in front of the prisoners. Some of them remained silent, while others talked in low voices.
The educated youth stood on the other side, staring at the murderers, waiting to hear their final outcome.
"Quiet!" Wu Jiesheng came out holding a piece of paper.
Everyone present immediately shut up. Even the crying relatives of the prisoners covered their mouths and dared not make a sound.
"Do you know why we brought them back and want to sentence them in front of all of you?" Wu Jiesheng's gaze slowly passed over all the villagers, and he only stopped when some of them lowered their heads and avoided him.
No one answered, but Wu Jiesheng didn't want to get their reply. Not talking showed that they had not completely lost their conscience, which was a good thing. "You all know why we arrested these people. When we brought back four corpses that day, many people saw it, right? They were the educated youths killed by them. Do you remember how old those children were? Does anyone remember? They were only seventeen or eighteen years old. Their lives had just begun, but because of your evil deeds, they died at such a beautiful age. Think about your own children. If they were killed, could you accept it?"
