Chapter 6 — At Cu Meet Sai Lang

The baby in my arms stirred, its small mouth pursed. I lowered my head to look at my child, my chest hurt, but I was more alert than a few days ago. My mother pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing me holding the child, her eyes turned red again. "Is Thua An gone?" I nodded. "I'm gone, Mom." She sat down next to me, reaching out to caress the baby's small face. "Your father is awake." "He said he wanted to see you." I handed the child to the nanny, then went to the hospital room. My father leaned against the headboard, his face still pale. Seeing me, the first thing he said was: "Don't be afraid." My nose stung. "Dad, I'm not afraid anymore." He struggled to lift his hand and hold my wrist. "That year you got married, I couldn't ask any more questions." "Dad always thought that when a girl gets married, she has to keep face for her husband's family." "Now I know, there are some things that show off your face." Tears immediately fell from my eyes. He sighed. "This time, I won't let you hold back anymore." "If they deserve to apologize, they must apologize." "If they deserve to make amends, they must make amends." "If they deserve to go to jail, they must go to jail." I nodded forcefully. At this moment, Trinh Nghien's phone rang. He walked to the window to answer the phone. A few seconds later, he turned his head to look at me. "The police station called you over to add documents." "Luc Thua Khang changed his statement." I frowned. "What did he say?" Trinh Nghien's face darkened. "He said my father did it first." "And he said my mother fell because I pushed her."08 When I arrived at the police station, it was already light. In the hallway, there were three members of the Luc family sitting. Ma Cai Anh's hair was messy, her eyes were swollen into a line. Luc Ve Dan leaned against the wall, unable to smoke tobacco, his face as black as the bottom of a pot. Luc Thua An stood in the corner, saw me walking in and immediately turned around. "Tri Y, don't get excited." I pushed past him. "Get out of the way." He lowered his voice. "The words Thua Khang just said were instigated by your parents." "He's just too scared." I stopped walking. "Are you asking for forgiveness for him, or are you taking the responsibility off your parents?" Luc Thua An's face was stiff. I don't care about him anymore. After greeting the police handling the case, Trinh Nghien placed the file bag on the table. Inside there is a recording of the criminal report. There is a hospital diagnosis. There is an application to extract hallway cameras. There are pictures of my parents' clothes at that time. And also copies of documents suspected of being clipped in to fake signatures. When the police officer flipped through the file, his expression was much more serious than yesterday. "Tham Tri Y, please describe the situation that day again." I started from the moment Ma Cai Anh brought a bowl of white porridge into the room. Until my father came home. Mentioning the story of Luc Ve Dan smoking drugs next to the baby. Until Luc Thua Khang rushed out. Count the first, second, and third kicks. I didn't add any salt or fish sauce. Try to stay calm in each sentence. But when it came to the part where my mother jumped up to block the attack for my father, my hands still trembled a beat. Trinh Nghien pushed a cup of warm water to my hand. "Speak slowly." I took a sip of water, then told the rest. The policeman asked again. "Luc Thua Khang said your father acted first. Are there any related details?" I raised my head. "No." "My father always speaks reason." "The only step he took forward was to ask Luc Weimin why he smoked drugs next to pregnant women and babies." "If this is also called acting first, then the Luc family wants everyone to keep their mouths shut and take the beating." Ma Cai Ying. heard from outside the door, immediately shouted. "You're lying!" "Your father came to cause trouble!" The policeman knocked on the table. "Be quiet." Ma Cai Ying shut up in fear. Trinh Nghien suddenly spoke up. "We would like to request to extract the camera from the corridor of the Luc family's apartment complex." "Did Ms. Tham's parents bring dangerous weapons with them when they left? What was the state of their injuries when they left?"

can prove part of it." "In addition, if the Luc family's living room does not have a camera, we can also collect the neighbors' testimony." Luc Ve Min could no longer sit still outside the door. "What can the neighbors prove?" Trinh Nghien turned to look at him. "It can prove that that day your family was arguing so loudly that the whole building heard it." "It can also prove how long the baby cried." Luc Ve Min's face became even more ugly. Ma Cai Ying Frantically wringing his fingers. "We're all family, what's the point of making it so obvious?" I looked at her. "When you beat people, you didn't consider my father as family." "When you snatched my phone, you didn't consider me family." "Now that you have to take responsibility, are you starting to be family again?" Ma Cai Anh's lips trembled. She suddenly rushed towards Luc Thua An. "Say something!" "He wants to You're killing your little brother!" Luc Thua An looked at me, his voice hoarse. "Tri Y, Thua Khang was scared to death." I asked him. "My father wasn't scared?" "My mom wasn't scared?" "My ten-day-old child wasn't scared?" His eyes darkened and he continued to be silent. At this moment, Director Phung walked in from outside. In his hand he held a gun. file bag.
