Mother Wei shook her head, her eyes a little confused, as if she had not yet been able to fully understand and accept the current situation.
"I never thought that my son would end up like this... a little unexpected." She moved her lips and said what she wanted to express most at this moment with a breath.
Seeing her like this, Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but feel a little sad. She stood up and sat next to Wei's mother, gently stroking her back and comforting her, saying: "No one can predict this kind of thing. Since it has already happened, we can only look at it more openly. We will definitely bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible and give you an explanation."Gu Xiaofan said this very sincerely, without any formulaic perfunctory words. Although she has not been in the industry for a long time, she is not a rookie after all. Whether she is in charge of the investigation personally or helping with some auxiliary work, she has heard and seen quite a few cases. There is a truth that she is very clear. Not every victim is flawless and recognized as a "good person" by everyone, and not every perpetrator is a born bandit with a face full of flesh. Perhaps some victims have criticisms and flaws, but it does not mean that they do not deserve fair treatment when they become victims of crime. On the other hand, even if a very good person does something that infringes on the right to survival of others, his sins cannot be offset by many previous benefits. Therefore, no matter what kind of criminal record Wei Pengcheng had before, for Gu Xiaofan and Zhong Han, he was just like the victims of other cases and needed the law to preside over a justice.After listening to Gu Xiaofan's words, Wei's mother's originally dry eyes were immediately covered with a layer of mist. She nodded, sniffed, and said: "Girl, thank you, and I also thank you on behalf of my son's father. In fact, as a mother, I know what kind of child Pengcheng is. His father and I know it. We old couple have made psychological preparations long ago. We think this child is too troublesome and has a bad temper. When he was studying before, he often caused trouble outside. So we made psychological preparations early, thinking that maybe one day, Pengcheng will be arrested again for something. It would be a lie to say that we are not worried, but we have to be mentally prepared for such a child. Unexpectedly..."Wei's mother choked up. She took a deep breath: "If he really beat someone up or something, and had to pay money and go to jail, that would be fine. After all, he is still alive and well in jail. But now he is the one who got into trouble..."Gu Xiaofan didn't know what to say. When people are sad, words of comfort sound like scratching the surface, so she could only pat the back of Wei's mother's hand gently to show that she understood her inner feelings at this moment."Auntie, can you tell me about Wei Pengcheng's personal situation? For example, what kind of person is he?" Gu Xiaofan paused for a while, and waited for Wei's mother to calm down a little bit before speaking again.Wei's mother sighed. She said, "I am a mother, Pengcheng is my son, how can a mother look down on her son! Others may think I am protecting him, but I don't think my son is a bad boy. Pengcheng was very well behaved when he was young. He was a little bit naughty, and everyone liked him. Except for being a little naughty, there was nothing wrong with him. Little boys are naughty. Later, when he was older and went to middle school, he didn't receive good guidance. It was also his father and I who were busy making money to support the family and didn't care so much. When we found out, the child had become very irritable and would fight with others at any time. His father and I asked him not to do this, but he said we didn't understand. He was just being loyal to the underworld. If he didn't keep his loyalty, others would look down on him in the future."Gu Xiaofan already knew that Wei Pengcheng had been convicted of a crime for injuring someone in middle school, so he didn't think it was surprising. He simply didn't interrupt and let Wei's mother continue.Mother Wei sniffed and continued, "Although Pengcheng likes to fight, he never bullies those who are weaker than himself. Once he got hurt in a fight and was sent to the hospital for more than a dozen stitches. His father and I were angry and distressed. He also said with confidence that of course you have to knock down the person who is stronger than you in a fight. That's what makes you a hero. Bullying the weaker is a joke. His father and I said privately that the child is not such a bad person. He still has some thoughts of helping the weak, but his method is wrong. In this era, we don't need people who fight and make trouble all day long. We have to persuade him well in the future." . ""Did you try to persuade him later? Was it effective?"Wei's mother smiled bitterly and shook her head: "If it was effective, would we still have to worry about Pengcheng going to jail again for fighting and making trouble in the future? If he wasn't young, he wouldn't have been sentenced so lightly. We thought that this child would learn a lesson after going through such a big hurdle, but he was still the same. After he was released from prison, he met a lot of bad people. We saw that we couldn't control him, so we gave up. ""Then, do you know what hobbies Wei Pengcheng has?" Gu Xiaofan asked."Hobbies..." When asked this question, Wei's mother hesitated for a moment, a little unsure, "I don't know what you young people like to do now. My son... I know he likes to surf the Internet. He especially liked it when he was in middle school. He skipped classes to go to the Internet cafe and sneaked out of the house in the middle of the night to play. Later, we both locked the door, and his bed sheet slipped out through the window, and we couldn't stop it. We thought, this is not a big deal, there is no other way, the child's father used the money to buy a computer, so that he can go online at home. After all, this way, he can play at home under our noses, which is better than him running to the Internet cafe in the middle of the night. , who knows who he will meet. ""Then do you know what he does on the Internet?""I don't know. He always closes the door and doesn't let us in. Later, the child's grandparents were in poor health, so we went back to our hometown to take care of the elderly. We knew even less about Pengcheng's affairs."While Gu Xiaofan was talking to Wei's mother, Zhong Han came back with Wei's father. Wei's father's eyes were still red, and he must have cried before. He nodded to Wei's mother and said, "I signed the consent form. Now we have to trust the police. They will give us an explanation."Wei's mother's eyes flowed with tears again. She wiped them and nodded to her husband."Do you know Wei Pengcheng's girlfriend Xiaofeng?" Gu Xiaofan waited for Wei Pengcheng's parents to finish speaking, and then continued to ask.Father Wei looked at Mother Wei, his face was not very good, and he said to his wife: "I am a grown man, so what can I say if I don't like that woman? Tell these two young comrades what you should say!""You two don't have a good impression of Wei Pengcheng's girlfriend?" Although Zhong Han did not hear the topic that Gu Xiaofan and Mother Wei talked about before, the expressions on the faces of the couple can fully explain the problem."I don't like her. Pengcheng brought her home twice. Once they were together for a short time, and once they were together for more than half a year. The first time I endured it and didn't say it, because I think young people sometimes have no long-term, maybe they will break up in a few days, so I didn't care. As a result, more than half a year later, she was brought back again. I told my son clearly that I didn't like that woman and asked him to break up with her. Although our Wei family is not a famous family, we definitely don't look for a daughter-in-law like that." Mother Wei still looked unhappy when she mentioned Xiao Feng."Did Wei Pengcheng agree?" Zhong Han asked.Mother Wei shook her head: "No, my son is very stubborn and never listens. He said he can find any wife he wants, as long as she won't be bad to me and his father in the future, we don't need to worry about anything else, we can't control her. Later, he probably knew that we didn't like that woman, so he never brought her home again.""Then I would like to ask, why don't you like Wei Pengcheng's girlfriend?" Zhong Han looked puzzled, "We met that girl once, and she looked quite normal."He was very calm when he said this, as if the woman with heavy makeup and tears on her face earlier today was not Xiao Feng.Mother Wei's expression was a little more disdainful. She looked at Father Wei and said, "I asked my son how the two met. He said that he met the woman in a nightclub when he helped her fight. You can say that I am old-fashioned. Anyway, I think that the daughter of a good family should not go to a nightclub to fool around at night. Even if she went, she would not cause trouble and have any conflicts with others. In addition, when the woman came to our house, the makeup on her face was like a clown face. Anyway, it was obvious that she was not a serious girl, so I didn't like her very much.""Besides this, is there any other reason?" Gu Xiaofan nodded, indicating that he could understand Mother Wei's opinion, and then continued to ask.This time it was Wei's father who spoke up: "Also, we both feel that the girl's motives for being with my son are not very pure. Our family doesn't have a lot of money, but we did some business in our early years and saved up a little. I don't know if she heard anything from my son, but the first time she came to our house, she asked me in a roundabout way, wanting to know how much savings and property our family had. So I felt very uncomfortable and didn't pay much attention to her. Maybe she thought it was meaningless and stopped asking."
