There's always an unknown ahead, and there's always something unthinkable behind it, but some things are endless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The drum belly was peaceful, and the sound outside the door was endless, but the room was quiet. The man held a cup of hot tea and gently placed it on the coffee table in Qiu Yan's hand, he whispered thank you, and then fell silent. Neither of them seemed to have the idea of talking, one reading a book and the other looking out the window. As night fell, the scene outside the window turned from blurry to pitch black. The man turned his head just in time to meet Qiu Yan's gaze raised from the book.

The man smiled softly, fiddled with the cigarette case on the table, and took out one and handed it to Qiu Yan.

"My family is strange and it seems to me that the union of my parents was a mistake. My father was a merchant and my mother was a salesman in a shop. When I was very young, I knew that my father was having affairs with other women. My mother knew in her heart, but she had no choice but to endure it. For a woman, this is a great shame. The man's fingers gradually clenched into fists, and he took a sharp mouthful of green silk. "Then he didn't say goodbye, and my mother and I were the only ones left at home. Many times, I couldn't get into the house after school because he locked the door with the women, and I could only crouch in the doorway, bored looking at the women's shoes, guessing what kind of people they were. ā€

The man burst out laughing. "At that time, I had a special skill, and when those women came out, I found that my guesses were actually inseparable, hehe. ā€

Qiu Yan also echoed and laughed, although she was a little bitter in her heart. "No wonder you're a police officer, a criminal squad. ā€

It seemed like a ridiculous remark, and the squad looked up to the sky and laughed, almost to tears.

"Tell me about you. He finally stopped laughing. "I barely know about you. ā€

"There's not much to understand. Qiu Yan said lightly. "My name is Liang Qiuyan and I am a doctor. You know that's enough. ā€

"So, may I ask you something?"

"You ask. ā€

"When did you start to doubt me? Don't be surprised, I've lived on this street for decades and am familiar with it. Suddenly, there were a few unfamiliar 'whistles', how could they not be noticed. ā€

Qiu Yan paused for a moment, then stretched his brows and snorted. "At first, I didn't know, in my opinion, Kong Yue'er and Liu Man are familiar with each other, and what she wants to destroy is not Liu Man's body, but her future. She is only a pawn in this matter, and the difference between her and the male suspect over the purpose of the kidnapping is the most special place. At that time, I was thinking, what this disagreement was, until I saw that tape. ā€

"Oh, what do you say?" the squad grinned and lit another cigarette.

Qiu Yan lowered her eyes and flipped the pages. "The purpose of a woman is not to let Liu Man die painfully, but to let Liu Man live painfully, this is already true. And the man's purpose is clear, death. But the ransom is used for another purpose. ā€

"As everyone knows, I didn't kill her. The squad snorted through his nose.

"Yes, you didn't kill her with your own hands. Qiu Yan put down the book and took out a page and a photo from the inner pocket of his coat. "I think you still know him, right? His name is Sun Qi, thirty-three years old, terminal cancer. He had nothing to do with it, but when he came out of the hospital that day with his medical check-up sheet, when he felt that the sky was about to fall, when he remembered his elderly parents and unweaned children at home, a strange man approached him and made a deal with him, a deal that would give his wife and children peace of mind for the rest of their lives. ā€

The squad frowned, turned and walked over to the couch and sat down. "It's exciting, but what about the motivation?"

"It goes back to the hatred that grew in the heart of a young boy a long time ago. After many years, the little boy was admitted to the police academy with excellent grades, and after graduation, he solved several major cases soon after entering the police department, and everything went so smoothly. But one day, an event resurfaced his hatred that was about to dissipate.

Suddenly, he heard a 'click' behind him. Although it was slight, Qiu Yan immediately recognized that it was the safety sound of pulling a firearm. He looked back and saw a police pistol pointed straight at his forehead.

Go on. The criminal squad stared at Qiu Yan deadly, and his whole body trembled. The cranial cavity seemed to be completely hollowed out, and there was only madness in his eyes.

Qiu Yan could feel the aura of hatred emanating from the criminal squad, like a giant snake wrapped around him, ready to devour everything around him at any time.

The boy stumbled upon news of his long-disappeared father, who had died of illness. If this is the ending, it must be beautiful, but God is not beautiful, he left two half-sisters with you, Zhang Nuan and Liu Man. Your hatred comes not only from your father, but from others. ā€

"He deserves it, he deserves to die!" the squad shouted hysterically with red eyes. "When he was having affairs with other women, did he think about my feelings with my mother? He was the one who broke this family apart! He left us orphans and widows! And they weren't my sisters, no!"

Listening to the other party's breathing and heartbeat, there was no way to figure it out or trust, and after a long time, Qiu Yan broke the silence. "In this world, there are things that cannot be carved into stone, but in our hearts, there is a place that cannot be locked. ā€

"Liang Qiuyan, how seamless all this is, but you are the alternative point of this game of chess. The squad gritted their teeth and said gloomily, the fingers holding the gun gradually turning white.

"There is a providence in the dark, and it is you who chose me. ā€

The door was pushed open, and the light in the hallway poured down on the man, splitting the thick, black cocoon like a sharp sword. Qiu Yan subconsciously looked towards the door, and under the dazzling lights, she saw a tearful woman staggering to the front of the criminal squad.

"Son, for many years, why can't you let go of the obsession in your heart, although he is at fault, it is not her who is at fault. ā€

The squad ignored the woman and whispered. "It's come to this, the damned, the undeserved, are all dead now. You also know in your heart that without evidence, you have no way to take me. Go back to where you should be, I'm a policeman, my every move will be under my control, and if you get into trouble again, I'll kill you with my own hands!"

'Smack' continuous crisp slap sound.

"This slap is your obsession!"

"This slap is your indiscriminate killing of innocents!"

"This slap is your official misconduct!"

The woman's face turned from flushed to pale, and her long hair stuck to her cheeks, and she looked very weak. Her breathing calmed down, and then, with a long breath, she straightened up her languishing body, slowly raising her palm and calling it down her cheek.

"This slap is my godson!"

.....

Qiu Yan slowly closed his eyes, brushed aside his forehead, pulled the deadbolt of the door, and left.

After a while, the roaring police cars wrapped around the courtyard. The squad sat motionless on the ground, quietly feeling the textured darkness.

Lost, well, a defeat.
