Mystery Hunter

When Mr. Shao heard his name, he was suddenly overjoyed, as if the kindergarten children were praised by their parents. This feeling has not appeared for a long time. Shao Lao is known to everyone in the criminal police, and even the police academy uses his books as teaching materials.

He often encounters unfamiliar people and discusses some psychological issues with himself, and has also been mentioned by countless people about his book. But now, Shao Lao has such an unusual feeling in his heart.

The grandmother was still chattering, while Shao Lao was observing the house intentionally or not. There were only two pairs of slippers at the door, and only the old man's clothes were hung on the hangers. There is only one water cup on the coffee table, and the rest of the water glasses are upside down in the compartment of the coffee table. In the photo frames standing beside the TV cabinet, there is only one person's photo.

At about ten o'clock last night, the old man alone heard the sound of a quarrel coming from the opposite door.

"Have you been living alone?" Elder Shao wiped his hands with a handkerchief.

"Eat fat pigs?" the old grandmother said. "The doctor said that I can't eat too much fat. It's not good for my health."

Shao Lao shook his head: "You live alone?"

The old grandmother understood: "Yes, I live alone."

"What about your children?" Shao Lao was very strange, because he didn't see anyone else in the photo frame, and judging from the objects in the house, she seemed to have always lived alone.

"I've never been married." The grandmother said with a smile, "so I don't have a son or a daughter."

"Have you never been married?" Living to the age of Shao Lao, other people's children have children, but Shao Lao still insists on being alone. Looking back at the thirty years since he was thirty years old, it is not that no one has confessed to him, and it is not that no one wants to have a child with him, but since that person left, no one has walked in. past his heart.

When he woke up early from his dream alone, when he saw a particularly funny joke, he always thought, if only he was not alone. But when he saw the photo of the woman by the bed, he thought, if it wasn't for her, he would rather be alone.

"Hee hee." The old man said mysteriously: "I'm not the kind of leftover girl that no one looks down on and no one chases after me! When I was young, the boys who were chasing me queued up from the east end of the village to the west end of the village. Open your eyes, this pick, I didn't pick it well, I don't think anyone can match me, and I have never been married."

"But oh!" The old man said in a dignified manner: "I was fifteen years old when I first fell in love. At that time, it was not as good as you are now. At that time, whoever dared to fall in love early would be a big taboo. No, but you will be stabbed in the spine and scolded for the rest of your life."

Shao Lao said helplessly: "Old sister, you are talking about now, at that time we can't fall in love early..."

The old grandmother snorted: "Who cares about him? I just fall in love if I want to fall in love! Then guess what? Then they asked me to get married early! I was only nineteen years old at the time, and I didn't get married. Besides, the matchmaker introduced me to it. What is that thing, how can I see him."

"My mother said that I fell in love when I was young, and I didn't get married when I was young." The grandmother laughed when she thought about it: "I care about them? I said that if I don't get married, I won't get married. I spent a lot of time trying to go to university back then."

Shao Lao nodded. There were very few people who could go to university in those days, and even fewer girls.

"Don't talk about this." The grandmother looked at Lao Shao: "I see that you are much younger than me, how is it, have you hugged your grandson yet?"

Shao Lao shook his head: "Like you, I have always come here alone. But I'm not as smart as you. I've been in love once in my life."

The old grandmother nodded: "Then you're less frequent, why didn't you have a first love? She married someone else?"

Shao Lao thought of the year when he was 30 years old, which was the best age for him and her. At that time, he made a lot of mistakes emotionally, but he also did things that are wonderful in retrospect. At that time, they were noisy, on and off, and he always felt that he should go to old age with her.

"Something happened." Shao Lao pointed to his head: "She became a vegetable, and then she never woke up and just left."

The old grandmother heard Shao Lao's words, nodded and said: "Look, there is nothing wrong with this. If you are with someone because you like her, it is the best. But if you are with someone just because of loneliness Being alone is not good for anyone. Once you have been passionate, you will be content!"

Shao Lao realized that the old lady in front of her was definitely not an ordinary person. She has the open-mindedness that others do not have, and the wisdom of life that others cannot feel. As an old man of this age, he has always been asked by others about his life experience. But only Mr. Shao understands that one age group is confused by another, and Mr. Shao has no answers to some questions.

At this moment, Shao Lao realized that maybe this old man could give him the answer.

Shao Lao asked, "What did you study in university?"

The grandmother said, "Philosophy. You know, we all lived in that age, and we all went through a huge, destructive movement. Everyone who came from that age was lost. The three most important questions of philosophy, Who am I, where did I come from, and where did I go, no one could answer me at that time, I had to find it myself."

"Is there an answer to these three questions?" Shao Lao asked, "Your answer."

The grandmother shook her head and said, "No, philosophy has different meanings for everyone, and naturally there is no fixed answer for everyone. It takes us a lifetime to find it."

Shao Lao nodded, and he said, "There are three stages in my life. When I was young, I thought it was justice to catch the bad guys and find the truth. When I was middle-aged, I felt that if I could catch the bad guys, I didn't need the truth, I didn't need to tell people the truth, so I hurt someone who trusted me a lot."

"It's getting old." Shao Lao sighed: "Old and old, I feel that justice is only the meaning of the majority, and the truth is just an excuse for their hypocrisy."

"I'm really a little confused. You said, what is justice?" Shao Lao asked.

The grandmother nodded and said to Shao Lao: "There is a definition in philosophy called the principle of cosmic justice, which is the place where all beings are born and return. All animals live here, and as time goes by, they will naturally be punished accordingly. Destruction of the environment will naturally be counterattacked by it, and other animals will be extinct, and the last animal will naturally become extinct."

"You said that in the 15 billion years that the universe exists, you and I are just dust in the universe. What you want to do will not have any effect on the universe. Your own justice will not be outside the universe. So you think Do the right thing, and bear the consequences of doing it."

"If someone thinks the truth is important, you tell him. If someone doesn't want to see the truth, you hide it. If you think it's just, you do it. If you think it's unjust, you don't do it." The grandmother said: " People are the sum of all societies, and what you have become is already in the expectations of those you love."

The grandmother said, "Like I like dessert, I just eat it, and don't care if I die of diabetes and high blood pressure. You see, it's that simple."

"You don't have to look for justice." The grandmother pointed to Lao Shao's heart: "Because it's already in everyone's heart."

Shao Lao nodded.

The grandmother added: "Zi Ziyi is a good boy, I live alone, she often comes to see me and help me. So for me, finding the **** who killed her and taking his head off for me, this It's my justice!"

"You all know?" Shao Lao asked.

The old grandmother said, "I know, you police are noisy, how could I not know. You see, life is such a fragile thing. I lived eighty-two years old, and I saw it all. It's like I live alone, saying If I fall asleep, I won't wake up, but I'm not worried or afraid, what to do, that's the meaning of life. Do what you love the most and bear the consequences of it."

"Look, I like sweets, so when I was fifty, all my teeth fell out! Hee hee!" The grandmother pursed her lips and laughed.

Mr. Shao took the old man's words in his heart, and he understood a little that justice is not found, and there is no fixed standard for justice. Perhaps for a murderer, murder is his justice, but he needs to bear the consequences of murder. And Shao Lao is responsible for catching him and making him bear his own consequences.

Shao Lao stood up and said, "Understood, old sister. Now, I'm going to investigate."

The grandmother nodded and said, "Don't worry, I cooked sweet porridge today, and I have cooked it since the morning. I have no teeth, so I can only eat these rotten ones, but don't look bad, they are delicious. I plan to open a restaurant outside in a year or two to cook for the elderly!"

Saying that, the old grandmother walked to the kitchen with a cane, and after a while she brought out a small bowl.

She hurriedly put the small bowl on the table, and the sweet porridge inside was still steaming. The old grandmother said with a smile while blowing on her scalded hands: "Hee hee, eat quickly, try it."

Shao Lao took a sip. Indeed, it was almost the best porridge he had ever eaten in his life. But who knows? I am only 60 years old this year, and I still have a lot of time to eat good food in the future.

A person is very lonely and lonely, but if he can make his soul interesting, Shao Lao thought, maybe he doesn't need to be a person who is not sad, happy, lonely and confused like Jiang He, but he can also live a dashing, unrestrained life. Come on.

On the TV cabinet, there is a photo of the old grandmother when she was young. Even with the eyes of the time, it is really not beautiful, very ordinary. But Mr. Shao never doubted that she was a trend-setter at that time, and that people who liked her could queue from the east to the west of the village.

Because interesting souls are always deeper and more likable than skins.

"Sweet, it's so delicious, I'll cook another pot later!" The grandmother's laughter came from the kitchen.
