Chapter 4: The Perpetrator in the Shadows
"Please, will you let me go? I still have a wife and children, as long as you let me live, whatever you want, as long as I have it, I will give you ......"
"Slap", but it was a resounding slap in the face that greeted the bitter pleading.
In the dim light, a man in black squatted in front of a balding middle-aged man who made a pleading sound.
The smoke of the cigar in his left hand made his face even more invisible.
After a slap, he didn't make much of a move, as if he just wanted to soak up the intoxicated taste of the cigar.
It feels like the man in front of him who is lying on his side on the ground with his hands tied behind him with water-soaked hemp rope and bruises all over his body has nothing to do with him.
"Please, as long as you can spare ...... Ah!", before he could finish his begging for mercy, the burning cigarette butt was pressed hard against his face again, and the sudden pain caused him to let out a wail again.
After a heavy gasp, his face twitched and he cried out hysterically, "I don't know you at all, you madman! Why do you do this to me?"
The man in black seemed to hear his words this time, and took out a mobile phone from his inner pocket, on which there was an incoming call, and after connecting, a male voice came out: "Then do you know me?"
As soon as the man lying on the ground heard this voice, his pupils immediately dilated, and his face was full of disbelief.
"How can you still be alive? I saw you buried alive with my own eyes, you little wretch, I knew that I would have chopped you up directly! I left you a scourge to this day, and I still bite Lao Tzu back......
The man should have known that there was no room for tactfulness, so he changed his pleading appearance just now, and scolded loudly, scolding and scolding, but his voice became smaller and smaller.
Only staccato and helpless whimpering echoed through the room.
The bald man, who had recognized the reality, knew that it was useless to speak quickly at this moment, and he still had the last glimmer of hope, and asked earnestly: "Whatever you want to do with me, but can you spare my wife and children?"
"Remember what you said with a smile on your cigar when I begged you to let my sister go? With that, the call was hung up.
The hopeless man twisted and lay flat on the ground, looking at the blurred light, tears streaming down his face.
The lights went out suddenly, leaving him with nothing but endless darkness and the fear of the stranger beside him.
On the other end of the phone, a man in a black coat, wearing a mask and a hat, wrapped himself tightly, looked at the other two screens in the same miserable situation, calmly connected the headset, and said, "Pick off your hands and feet, buried alive." ”
After doing all this, the man was relieved and took out a photo from his arms, the girl in the photo was beautiful and cute, and people couldn't help but like it.
The man took off his gloves and gently stroked the girl in the photo over and over again, not caring that the tears had become a puddle of water on the table.

The other side.
Fang Liuge turned on the audio left by his parents in his room.
"Son, I know that your mother and I care too little about you, far less than other parents, but from the bottom of our hearts, we really love you. ”
"Do you remember when you were a child, your favorite chivalrous in TV dramas? I asked you why you liked it, and you said that because they eliminated violence and peace, and served justice for the common people. ”
"The world has actually been in chaos for a long time, and what happened eight years ago is destined to be ten years at most, and the whole world will be completely torn apart by people that illusion of peace. ”
"If you join Kang Shen Si, I hope that all you do is not to investigate the cause of our deaths. ”
"We have other things left for you in the association besides points, and you will know when the time comes. ”
The voice stopped here, and then it became a choked female voice.
"I'm sorry that every time we meet, we talk about it. ”
"Xiaoge, you must live well, live with exhaustion and live without heart, your father and I hope you choose the latter. ”
"I used to say that I would help you take care of the child in the future, I'm sorry, my mother broke her promise. ”
"I wish I could cook another meal for you, your favorite braised pork. ”
"Xiaoge, you must work hard, you will definitely meet someone, you like her, and she likes you. Treat her well and protect her. ”
That's the end of the audio.
In the small dormitory, Fang Liuge sat on the ground with his back against the cabinet, staring at the front with blank eyes, smiling for a while, expressionless for a while, and finally laughing and muttering to himself: "These two people can really be sensational." ”
He pursed his lips, looked out the window at the sunny sky, and then lowered his head to look at his hands. Clench, open, clench, open, thumb rubbing hard, not knowing what to think.
It wasn't until his legs felt numb that Fang Liuge stood up with the cabinet, walked to the bathroom, and smiled in the mirror: "How can the suave little Langjun be so sinking, I am determined to become a man who dreams of thousands of girls." ”
He washed his face, slowly brought his face to the mirror, looked at himself in the mirror carefully, and then blinked, showing the same smile as usual.
After staring at it for more than ten seconds, he turned around and began to clean up the house, his mobile phone still playing the songs he had loved since childhood.
————————————————————————
The fifth floor of the Cons Tower.
The introduction is a canteen, but it should also be said to be an alternative food area, with a pastry coffee area, a Japanese food area, a bar counter, and even a major traditional Chinese cuisine area.
"Tsk, it's really ...... to be rich. It's so cool. Fang Liuge, who recalled the instant noodle years, sighed with bright eyes.
Just as he was blinded by the dazzling array of delicacies, a young man with bruises on his face came over and grinned: "Hello, my name is Liu Bai, I am on the same team as you, you can call me Brother Bai as a descendant, and there are only three of us in the four teams."
"I heard that you were introduced by the Ding Bureau, and I have never heard that he stuffed people into the office, what good things did the young man do to make him appreciate you so much. ”
"Is he my godfather?" Fang Liuge asked with a sincere expression.
"Ahem, I take back the words and deeds that were not decent just now, please allow me to introduce myself again, hello, my name is Liu Bai, you can call me Xiaobai. Liu Bai also replied with a serious face.
Not far away, a two-meter-tall bald man walked over and stretched out a broad palm: "Hello, Xiaofang, I'm Wu Shuang, I used to work under your father for a few years. ”
Fang Liuge shook hands while carefully looking at the strong man in front of him, more precisely, the word strong man is not enough to describe him, and the word "macho man" should be more appropriate.
The muscles he worked so were as different from him as B-cup and D-cup.
Dad should also be a fierce man, otherwise why would this kind of humanoid bulldozer follow him, Fang Liuge thought.
At this time, a beautiful woman with elegant manners next to her opened her mouth and said: "The two of you, let's find a chance to talk about it in private, and don't mention some sad things at this time." ”。
Fang Liuge's gaze shifted to the woman who spoke, and just after he entered the cafeteria, this person immediately attracted his attention.
It's not her charming face and her graceful figure that is hard to hide, but her clothes.
In the hot summer, even if the air conditioner is turned on, you don't want to wear a woolen sweater and close-fitting trousers.
"Yo, Xiao Fang has arrived, this person talking to you is called Liu Yan, and Wu Shuang are in the third team, except for the four of us in the action group, the rest of the idlers who have no task have gone home from work. Captain Zhou walked in and said.
Fang Liuge asked in surprise, "Isn't there a staff dormitory in the institute?"
Liu Bai said expressionlessly: "If you have a girlfriend, will you live in the dormitory?"
Fang Liuge thought deeply: "Indeed, it is indeed not convenient at night. ”
Seeing that Fang Liuge had blended into the atmosphere so quickly, Zhou Jun turned around and shouted to a dumbfounded-looking girl at the bar: "Xiaoxiao, the welcome banquet for ten people, please let Uncle Li cook it himself." ”
When the girl heard this, she smiled shyly, and began to order food on the screen in front of her.
"Uncle Li used to be a chef in a two-Michelin-starred restaurant, but his wife was killed by a stranger, and Uncle Li worked for four years to find the murderer. ”
"But at that time, the law against the supernatural was not as complete as it is now, and the conviction was delayed. Liu Bai drank the juice and whispered, as if he was afraid that Xiaoxiao would hear it.
"Later, the murderer actually wanted to kill Uncle Li late one night, and was disabled on the spot by my sister, that is, Secretary Zhou. Therefore, Uncle Li took his daughter Li Xiaoxiao to apply and join our firm. Zhou Jun added on the side.
"In this world, there are pitiful people in every eye. Fang Liuge sighed, then changed his words and asked curiously, "Is Secretary Zhou's combat power very strong?"
The remaining four people at the table glanced at each other, and they all showed meaningful smiles, Liu Bai said: "I suggest you go to challenge, don't worry, Secretary Zhou is very measured." ”
"Yes, the hospitalization time is generally controlled within half a month. Zhou Jun tugged at the corners of his mouth, as if he had some bad memories.
Fang Liuge was not a fool, so he rejected the proposal with a smile, and then talked about other topics.
The four of them all seemed very enthusiastic, and after talking, a big meal was served.
It is said to be a meal for ten people, but it is comparable to the normal meal of fifteen people in a restaurant outside Kyoto, after all, it is common sense in today's society that people with abnormal abilities need more energy than ordinary people.
After feasting, several people were laughing and talking about interesting things that had happened recently, when Zhou Jun suddenly got up and walked not far away to answer a phone call.
When he came back, he looked solemn. said to everyone present: "There is a case of suspected strangers in Area A, and the director arranges for the fourth team to undertake it alone, and Wu Da'er and Liu Yan can move on their own." ”
After confirming that Liu Bai and Fang Liuge both had the identity cards of the firm, they drove the two out in a hurry.
The silver moon looms in the sky among the black clouds, indicating that this will be an extraordinary night.
