Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 153 Rainbow

After the case was closed, Chen Jin remarked with feigned seriousness, "Although we were led through so many circles by these two bastards, the whole process, from identifying the target to the arrest, was very quick and without any obstacles. It felt quite easy."

Wei Qingsong took a sip of water, raised her eyes slightly, glanced at him lightly, and said indifferently, "That's because Yin Xiheng himself didn't expect the police to notice him so quickly, so he was completely unprepared."

Ultimately, he was just being too clever for his own good.

Throughout history, those who think they can manipulate people's hearts have rarely met a good end.

Chen Jin touched his nose: "That seems to be true. When our team caught him, he was calmly strolling in the park, not even thinking of hiding or showing off."

“After all, the extreme behaviors of those victims are usually considered voluntary, and no one would suspect that someone instigated them. It was only because Li Lirong loved her daughter so much that she insisted on taking it seriously that the police took notice of this matter.” At this point, Wei Qingsong’s gaze darkened and his tone became slightly serious.

“We really have to thank Li Lirong for being so persistent, otherwise who knows how many young men and women would have been brainwashed by Yin Xiheng. You may think that it only took a few days to catch him, but in fact, he has already killed more than a dozen people and has been at large for nearly two months. When you think about it like that, you don’t feel so relieved.”

Evil is not terrible; when it fights justice, evil has no chance of winning.

But if evil is hidden in a corner that no one knows about, that is enough to make people shudder.

Upon careful consideration, Chen Jin realized that this made perfect sense, and he stood there stunned, a chill running down his spine.

After a long pause, he suddenly blurted out, "This Yin Xiheng is no human being. Those victims were so young, with such vibrant lives, and he just ruined them like that."

Wei Qingsong nodded in agreement, then frowned with regret and said, "Most of these victims are spiritually empty. Although their family conditions and environments are different, they all have one thing in common: they lack companionship and care."

Some of them come from wealthy families, but their parents are busy with business and are often away from home. Although they are materially well-off, their spiritual lives are extremely impoverished.

Others come from impoverished families, with their parents working away from home. They are left-behind children in villages and towns, having no presence at school and being ignored wherever they go.

Some families are broken and on the verge of collapse, with parents who are only superficially harmonious but actually estranged, arguing all day long and never caring about their children's feelings.

There are also single-parent families like Li Linlu's, where parents have to choose between companionship and survival.

Some people use their childhood to heal their entire lives, while others spend their entire lives healing from their childhood.

The profound impact of family environment on adolescents is a topic that the whole society needs to explore.

If possible, Wei Qingsong really doesn't want similar tragedies to happen again. This world shouldn't be gray; it's just that some colors are no longer visible to them.

She was lucky; her childhood was happy. Although Wei Sihua and Yun Peilan were busy with work, they always took one day a week for the whole family to do parent-child activities together.

Sometimes it's a picnic, sometimes it's a trip to an amusement park. Even on rainy days when we can't go out, the family stays at home, cooking together and cleaning the house together. These little moments of happiness are warm and wonderful.

But not everyone in this world is so lucky. There are many unknown people who yearn for attention but are always ignored. Their small wishes are submerged in the long river of time, and time cannot erase the pain in their hearts.

The group strolled slowly down the corridor. Chen Jin leaned close to Lu Jingming and whispered, "Sister Wei seems a little unhappy."

Lu Jingming returned his gaze with a cold look.

Chen Jin awkwardly stepped back. He thought that Captain Lu's look probably meant: Do you need to tell me?

Yes, he really understands Captain Lu better and better now.

He is the expert in eyesight, a true master of the Lu team.

Lu Jingming remained silent, standing a step behind her, gazing at her tenderly.

Suddenly, a melodious ringtone sounded, and Wei Qingsong came back to his senses. He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Qin Danping calling.

Thinking something had happened, she asked anxiously, "Aunt Qin, is there something you need me for?"

On the other end of the phone, Qin Danping's voice was excited and full of joy: "Ms. Wei, I'm calling specifically to thank you. Sun Hao's mother contacted me today."

In a few words, Qin Danping recounted what had happened.

Sun's mother told Qin Danping, "I have already lost my son. Even if Jiang Yinian dies, my Hao Hao will not come back to life."

After hearing about Jiang Yinian and Yin Hailan's story and learning about Qin Danping's current situation, she hesitated and thought it over repeatedly before expressing her willingness to issue a letter of understanding.

Two mothers, separated by a phone call, wept uncontrollably on opposite ends of the line.

Jiang Yinian was also a child who lacked attention and love. His biological parents did not care about him, and out of his instinctive longing for love and warmth, he loved to run to the Yin family since he was a child.

For Yin Zhijie and Qin Danping, Jiang Yinian had long been regarded as half a son.

Since Jiang Yinian's incident, his biological parents have only made a few public appearances. After all, they have each started new families. It seems that after their relationship broke down, even this child became a burden, while the child they had with their current partners was their precious treasure.

Qin Danping's joy was palpable: "I've consulted a lawyer. With this letter of understanding, plus the complex grudges and emotions involved, even the worst outcome will be life imprisonment, not the death penalty!"

According to existing laws, even those sentenced to life imprisonment can have a chance to see the light of day again if they behave well and receive a reduction in their sentence.

Jiang Yinian is not a bad person at heart; it's just that his yearning for love and warmth makes him obsessive.

Wei Qingsong didn't have much sympathy for Jiang Yinian, since it was only right to pay for a life for a murderer. However, if Jiang Yinian could take care of the lonely and helpless Qin Danping in her old age and see her off in death, it would be a way of atonement.

So, after thinking for a moment, she said with a smile, "That's great, Aunt Qin, you don't have to worry about him anymore."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, I hung up the phone.

Wei Qingsong put her phone back in her pocket and suddenly smiled with relief.

There was a light rain this afternoon, and now the sky has cleared up, with a faint rainbow in the distance.

This world is not gray.

There is pain, jealousy, resentment, and darkness, but correspondingly, there is also tolerance, understanding, gratitude, and enthusiasm—a vibrant tapestry of colors.

Looking at her bright smile, Lu Jingming also smiled faintly, his gaze softening.

Chen Jin and Xiao Song exchanged a glance and walked away silently.

Although it is autumn now, every day for Captain Lu has felt like spring since Sister Wei came to the Criminal Investigation Brigade.

Oh, of course, Lu's beaming smile was only visible to Wei Qingsong.

In their presence, Captain Lu remained the same aloof and ruthless Captain Lu, as cruel as autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, though he seemed to have gained a little more humanity compared to before.
