COLD RAIN

CHAPTER 17

Every second a new life is born in the world, another life comes to an end.

On the day Pon's case opened, Sailub arrived early. He sat down in the corner of the back row and listened to the words "the deceased" coming out of the mouths of the judges, lawyers and others again and again, stubbornly unwilling to equate these two words with Pon.

The case went on for a long time, but the three defendants were not sentenced in court because the motive for the murder was not clear and the investigation had to be continued.

Since this was S City, Sailub intended to clear the way to meet with those three people and get some information from them.

He was so preoccupied with beating them up that day that he didn't have time to ask them anything.

And the court only analysed the events of the case and no one mentioned Pon warmly, which was not what Sailub wanted to hear.

Hate was hate, but those three people were the last people Pon had contact with before he was gone.

Say didn't want to miss anything about Pon.

After the trial was over, he rushed to the detention center.

He had already made the arrangements in advance but he still couldn't meet anyone.

After he asked, it turned out someone else had stepped in first.

At first, Sailub didn't know who it would be but when he walked outside the detention center and saw a man, then did he know that it was Ping inside.

The man was shorter than him and wore a mask like him, obviously not to prevent dust but for fear of being recognized by passers-by.

Sailub, as a colleague, recognized Ping's legal spouse, Pon's sister-in-law.

He walked over to say hello, "P'Film."

Film Thanapat was startled at first hearing the voice, but when he saw that it was Sailub, he ignored him, turned his head and walked away.

Sailub hurriedly stepped forward and took off his mask, "P'Film, it's me, Sailub."

Film stopped, glanced at him lightly and said, "I know."

The implication was "I'm leaving because I know it is you."

Sailub heard the impatience and disgust in his tone. Normally, with his temper, he wouldn't tolerate being snubbed while showing his good intentions but now there was no other way, so he had to bite the bullet, "I have a few things I want to ask you..."

He didn't expect Film not even to have the patience to finish listening and say directly, "I don't have time."

Sailub was repeatedly choked but after adjusting his mentality, he said in a low voice,"It will only take five minutes."

Film sneered through his mask, "Five minutes? Now, you are asking me for five minutes? PonPon waited for you for so long but you couldn't even bear to give him five minutes!"

Sailub was startled by the sudden reminder. He opened his mouth, but made no sound.

Film was also quick-tempered, either he didn't say anything, or once he did, he couldn't stop, "His heart was filled with you, learning to draw for you, learning to text, learning to bake cakes, learning not to rely on others, learning to swallow his anger. Even though it was difficult for him to go out, he thought about buying you gifts. He slept with his mobile phone, for fear that you would not find him when you went home... He treated you so well and liked you so much, even if you didn't like him, why were you so mean to him!"
