Chapter 002: Mysterious APP
The light in the interrogation room was dim and frightening, Jiang Ning raised his head, and the dim light made him a little distracted.
Lin Qiang poured him a cup of hot water, and then sat down in front of him.
"When was the last time your brother contacted you?" Lin Qiang spread out the notebook in front of him and asked.
"The Chinese New Year's Eve. Jiang Ning said. "I contacted him. β
The pen in Lin Qiang's hand paused: "Are you really brothers? I haven't been in touch for more than half a year, and the last time I contacted was actually the Chinese New Year." β
He ...... It's busy, I'm busy. Jiang Ning said.
"Has he given you any clues in the past two days that may have his whereabouts? Lin Qiang continued to ask. "Or, when something so big happened, he didn't mention it to you? Any text messages, phone calls, count. β
"Nope. Jiang Ning shook his head. "My brother can't kill anyone, he must have been wronged. β
"You don't think so. Lin Qiang continued to take notes and glanced up at him. "What kind of person is Jiang Liping?"
Jiang Ning had that incomparably familiar face in his mind...... For a while, he didn't know what kind of words to find to describe Jiang Li.
"Kindness. Jiang Ning said.
Lin Qiang said: "His teammates also said the same. β
Jiang Ning said: "He is from the First Criminal Police Brigade, if you ask me this, you may know more directly from his teammates." β
"I asked, and to my surprise, everyone in the 1st Criminal Police Brigade evaluated him surprisingly uniformly, gently, and kindly...... I heard that once he arrested a habitual thief, who was still a minor child, and ran away from home to Liushi. He gave the boy a persuasion, and finally sent him home out of his own pocket. β
"To be honest, it's a pity to be a criminal policeman with such a character like him. β
Jiang Ning was silent.
"You and your brother...... Isn't the relationship good?" Lin Qiang asked tentatively when he saw his appearance.
"No, it's just that there's little contact. Jiang Ning said. "Can you tell me what happened to my brother?"
Jiang Ning sat in the police car returning home.
He didn't bring any money when he came out, let alone a taxi, and he couldn't even afford to sit on the bus...... Fortunately, after Lin Qiang made a record for him, he also arranged for someone to send him back, otherwise, Jiang Ning would not know how to go home from the police station.
The night is getting deeper, the trees and fences outside the window are rapidly receding, and the neon lights at night shine on the car window, imprinting Jiang Ning's melancholy face.
It's time for the nightlife to really begin.
He leaned against the car window and recalled what Lin Qiang had just said.
"On April 21, we discovered a small drug trafficking gang in the city, the scale is not large, but drugs, as you know, no matter how small the scale is, it is a big deal. β
"The First Criminal Investigation Brigade and the First Criminal Police Brigade have been following this small group for more than a month, and they are ready to officially close the net on May 30, and the First Criminal Police Brigade is responsible for the operation, and Jiang Li is also in that operation. β
"When he missed a fugitive during the arrest, Jiang Li took the lead in chasing him, but waited until the other team members arrived...... The man was already dead, a gunshot wound, a wound in the forehead, a shot killed. β
"What does this mean?" Jiang Ning asked at the time. "It's possible that the fugitive fought back, and he just defended himself with a gun and ended up killing someone by mistake. β
"If that's the case, then wouldn't it be the best thing for him to wait for someone else to come and investigate and clear his innocence?" Lin Qiang glanced at him. When the others arrived, Jiang Li had already disappeared from the scene, leaving only a corpse, no one knew why, and the only explanation could only be that he absconded in fear of crime. β
"Fear of sin, fear of what. β
"There has always been a saying that the scale of this drug trafficking gang is not large, but the police have been helpless against them because the bureau has their internal response. Lin Qiang said. Therefore, Jiang Li did not rule out a possibility...... He is the inner ghost, he is a thief, so he kills people and kills his mouth, and afterwards he feels that he still can't escape how to investigate, so he simply plays missing. β
Jiang Li can't be such a person.
Jiang Ning was brought up by Jiang Li, he knew best what kind of character his brother was, he couldn't do this kind of unconscionable thing, let alone collusion with criminals, even if he didn't defend himself as a last resort, he wouldn't use a gun to kill people.
So, there must be something going on in between.
However, the police investigation itself could not intervene, and Jiang Li's whereabouts are now unknown...... How to prove my brother's innocence?
The driver interrupted his thoughts and reminded him that it was time to get out of the car.
Jiang Ning glanced out the window and was already at the door of his community.
"Thank you. He opened the door and thanked him.
Jiang Ning took out his mobile phone and tried to call the number that he hadn't called for a long time.
"Sorry, the call you made is turned off......"
Sure enough, I still think too good.
There was still some distance from the building where he lived, Jiang Ning heard the noise coming from downstairs of his house, he quickened his pace, thinking that Jiang Li had come back to make a noise, and when he ran over to take a look, dozens of people surrounded the downstairs of their house, and some people pulled banners with the words 'Unscrupulous police, return my relatives', shouting while holding banners.
"Unscrupulous policemen, whose conscience was eaten by dogs, colluded with criminals themselves, and ended up killing people and destroying ......"
"Unscrupulous policeman, return my son'......"
Jiang Ning saw that some of them were still holding Jiang Li's black and white photos in their hands.
With his fists clenched, Jiang Ning stood in place for three seconds, and then rushed towards the person holding Jiang Li's black and white photo, knocked him down, snatched the black and white photo from his hand, and slammed it on the ground.
With a snap, the glass shattered to the ground.
"My brother didn't kill anyone!" Jiang Ning glared at those people and roared. "You, you people who come here to slander and spread rumors without distinguishing between black and white, my brother can't kill anyone...... Your own family is the first to sell drugs, and you have to blame the arresting police in turn. β
"He is Jiang Li's younger brother. Someone in the crowd shouted.
"Even if it's drug trafficking, then there is a law to convict him, the police, can the police kill people at will?!" said a woman holding a banner, looking like she was supposed to be the mother of the deceased.
"The results of the investigation have not yet come out, why are you spewing blood here. Jiang Ning is alone against a group, without the slightest intention of backing down. "My brother is innocent. β
His words were tantamount to self-identification, and there were several shouts from the crowd.
"He is Jiang Li's younger brother. β
"Father's debts are repaid by the son, and the debts of the brother are repaid!"
"If you can't catch Jiang Li, arrest his brother first......"
A ball suddenly flew in the crowd, Jiang Ning didn't have time to dodge, and smashed it on his forehead, and suddenly a sharp pain hit, and a sticky liquid slid down his hair little by little.
It was an egg thrown over.
"Smash him!"
Jiang Ning subconsciously reached out to block it, and after blocking one or two, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his leg, and he was immediately knocked down.
The first reaction to fall down was to protect his head and curl up in a ball, which was completely subconscious, and it was also taught by Jiang Li, when he was beaten by the crowd, he first protected his head to protect himself, and then found an opportunity to catch one and beat him to death.
It's a pity that Jiang Ning couldn't implement the second step, and when he was knocked down, the group of people rushed up like bees, punching and kicking him.
"Kill him and let him pay for my son's life......"
"Alas, what are you doing!" Zhang Xuemei, who lived next door to Jiang Ning's house, heard the commotion coming from downstairs and opened the window upstairs. "Stop, why are you guys, call me to the police again!"
The middle-aged woman holding the banner glanced up at her and hurried away with the crowd, leaving Jiang Ning who fell to the ground and was injured.
"Xiao Ning......" Zhang Xuemei was so frightened that she ran down from the upstairs and helped Jiang Ning who fell to the ground up.
"Aunt Zhang, I'm fine. Jiang Ning comforted.
"It's all right. Zhang Xuemei said distressedly. "Or, call the police, who are these people, such a heavy hand can go down......"
"No need...... Aunt Zhang, the key to my house is still with you, right?" Jiang Ning patted the ash on his body.
"In. Zhang Xuemei said. "You wait, I'll go upstairs and get it to you. β
Jiang Ning is a loser character, when he was young, he often forgot to bring the key to go out, and Jiang Li would return late at any time. Fortunately, Zhang Xuemei is a simple, kind-hearted neighbor, and Jiang Li also put a key in her.
The two returned upstairs, Zhang Xuemei handed over the key to Jiang Ning, and asked, "Have you eaten......?"
"No need. Jiang Ning shook his head. "Aunt Zhang, I want to be alone. β
"Alas......" Zhang Xuemei sighed faintly. "Well, if you have something, feel free to tell your aunt. β
"Hmm. β
Jiang Ning opened the door and did not turn on the light. The curtains were not closed, and the moonlight outside the window shone obliquely into the room, imprinting the illusory shadow of a person.
Jiang Ning sighed.
He also imagined that when he opened the door, would the house be brightly lit and the smell wafting from the kitchen, Jiang Li came out of the kitchen and called him to eat...... Obviously, some are fantasies.
He grabbed a can of beer he had bought and sat down by the window.
The silence in the room was terrifying, and Jiang Ning's heart was numb.
As I recalled today's events in my mind, a panic that I had never felt before came to my heart...... When he went through these things, he was calm and strong, but when he calmed down and remembered, he felt helpless.
He has never been helpless, even if he failed to start a business and was penniless at the moment, he was not as desperate as he was at this moment.
Jiang Ning cried.
It's not a glorious thing for a 23-year-old man to cry...... Before coming back today, he had imagined many scenes of meeting Jiang Li again, one of which was to hug him and cry...... Outside he needs to be strong, but at home, he doesn't.
"Brother, what should I do......" Jiang Ning hid his face and cried bitterly, like a helpless child.
He really has nothing, and he once thought that returning home was a return to a safe haven, but the relatives he thought he could rely on are missing at the moment.
"Zizi ......"
The phone vibrated for a moment, and Jiang Ning took it out with great anticipation to see if it was Jiang Li who sent him a message. He clicked on the screen, and a text message came.
"Congratulations on being chosen by the god of luck, hurry up and click the link to download the APP and become a player"
A simple word, with a link.
A spam text message.
Jiang Ning smiled bitterly.
He put down his phone, but the screen of the phone automatically lit up, automatically unlocked, and entered a download interface.
γAPP downloading...... The download is complete and the installation is being automatically carried out for you...... Installation Completeγ
A cold female voice came from the phone.
γHello, welcome to the human gameγ
