Chapter Twenty-Eight: No Evil
The night is as cool as water. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info dim street lamps, swaying tree shadows, dark night sky, not a single star in sight, as if there are countless eyes, watching everything on the ground. And every move of everyone living on the earth cannot escape their fierce gaze.
Ever since the thought came to me, the weird thought has been lingering in my mind.
The boundary between life and death seems to have become blurred at this moment, the dead are clearly dead, but they are alive unscathed, and the living people don't know when they will meet their parting.
He who rises from the dead ...
An idea drilled into Xiao Wen's consciousness like lightning, the kidnapper.
According to Xiao Wen's memory, he had been killed twice, but he still appeared where he should have appeared for the third time. This should show that everything after he has traveled through time and space will be the same as the previous time, the kidnappers will still flee to Fuchun Road, the lottery will only draw the same numbers, and the cold rainstorm will never be late... Everything is going according to plan, whether it is nature or people and animals, they will start again, and their memories are the same, no one will remember what Xiao Wen did in the past two days, what he said to them, except... Xiao Wen himself. Because of his appearance, many things that should have happened have been forcibly modified.
Thinking about this did not make Xiao Wen feel relieved. The two crossings are like Pandora's box, once opened, no one knows what is inside, whether it is a better world or a more terrible disaster, what will happen next, what kind of butterfly effect will be produced, there is no way to know.
And Xiao Wen is the colorful butterfly that instigated its wings in the American jungle.
"None of this says anything, I just know that according to the common sense of criminal investigation, you are now very likely to be one of the accomplices of the criminals in this kidnapping case, and the surveillance at the intersection also photographed you did appear on Fuchun Road in the morning, about this... I don't need to say more, right? ”
Zhou Yawen was shocked, but also secretly observed the changes in the expressions of the two, Xiao Wen was calm and relaxed at first, but then suddenly began to lose his mind a little, he should have thought of something important; On the other hand, Liu Xinwan doesn't seem to know everything, all her worries, apprehensions, and shocks don't seem to be disguised.
Xiao Wen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly. He forgot that the city is not like a few years ago, almost every road is equipped with pervasive cameras, all kinds of high-definition ****, and some even the acne on your face can be clearly photographed.
"It was a misunderstanding, a few drunks, and a little skirmish."
"Skirmishes? One of them has a crooked nose bridge from you, and they're going to sue you now, but they haven't found you yet. ”
"Sue me? Obviously, they provoked it first, and I was just defending myself. Xiao Wen said disapprovingly, this is indeed the case.
"Really? But the monitoring clearly shows that you first put Wu Qiqi to the ground. ”
Eh, Xiao Wen couldn't help but regret his impulse in the morning, and actually forgot about this stubble: "It was he who rushed over first and wanted to do something with me, I just pushed him, who knew that he couldn't stand on his feet after drinking too much, and I could be blamed for this?" ”
Having said that, Xiao Wen's tone was a little less confident.
"Do you know what evidence is? That's it! According to the current video materials, people have decided that you didn't run away," Zhou Yawen's expression was calm, and her words changed: "However, it's not impossible to solve it, as long as you tell the truth honestly, don't, well, don't prevaricate me with nonsense like crossing." ”
Why is this woman more difficult to deal with than last time, Xiao Wen secretly thought, could it be that omitting the link that saved her also made her mentality change, and she became more rational and difficult to accept this strange reason?
After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Wen said: "I can't fully prove the truth of what I said now, but you suspect that I am not in a hurry this day, tomorrow, you will know the truth of my words." Now drive, I'll take you somewhere. ”
"That's it." Xiao Wen motioned for Zhou Yawen to stop.
"Is there anything special going to happen here tomorrow?" Liu Xinwan followed Xiao Wen out of the car and looked around, but she couldn't see anything special here, just an ordinary road.
Zhou Yawen also folded her arms to her chest, waiting for Xiao Wen's explanation.
"Tomorrow afternoon, the city of N will receive what may be the heaviest heavy rainfall in recent decades. The whole city can almost be said to have been transformed into a sea of oceans. There are many places where there will be severe flooding, and many people will go missing and need rescue. I don't know much, except that a few places will suffer from very serious flooding, and I still heard this from Officer Zhou's phone call with the bureau. ”
Xiao Wen reported several place names, which naturally included the old street where Liu Xinwan lived.
One of the important purposes for him to do these things is naturally for his Xiaowan.
"You mean, all of these places will be flooded? Half of the first floor of her house will be submerged in water? Zhou Yawen looked up at the sky with a look of disbelief: "How much rain does this have to be?" According to you, this is simply a flood! ”
"It's almost, anyway, Xiao Wan can't go back to live tonight, although I can run out early in the morning, but I don't want to take the risk." Xiao Wen pointed to the manhole cover not far away, and said, "Tomorrow, one of your colleagues will fall into here, I saved him last time, but he didn't wake up until I crossed again." So, for the sake of your colleague's life, you can finally save him in advance. What is his name Wu, oh yes, his name is Wu Qiang. ”
"Wu Qiang? How could he be here tomorrow? Zhou Yawen asked puzzled.
"Why are your colleagues here, why are you asking me what I'm doing?" Xiao Wen glanced at Zhou Yawen and said disdainfully: "Most of them are performing some tasks." You can choose to arrange for him to go somewhere else in advance, but then there will be no way to prove what I say. ”
Zhou Yawen was silent, this is indeed an irreconcilable contradiction, if Wu Qiang really appears near here tomorrow and really falls into the water, it will naturally explain everything, after all, the rainstorm that occurs once in decades and falls into the well impartially, this can never be arranged in advance.
In fact, Xiao Wen didn't realize that the reason why Wu Qiang appeared here was because he accepted the task arranged by An Kai to spy on him, and now that this mission has not appeared, Wu Qiang naturally cannot appear here again.
It's just that he didn't know this, and simply thought that Wu Qiang might have accepted some rescue work.
"Well, since you're so sure, I'll trust you for the time being. But of course, it is impossible to put my colleagues at risk, and if there is a rainstorm tomorrow, I will choose to believe you. ”
"Xiao Wen, if it's really like you said, we must inform the neighbors there to leave early, otherwise once the water floods tomorrow, the wires will be short-circuited or something, it's too dangerous!"
"Xiaowan, you still don't want to go back today." Xiao Wen said to Liu Xinwan.
"But where do I live?" Liu Xinwan looked confused.
Looking at the appearance of the two, it seems that they have not yet developed to that point, Zhou Yawen said: "If you don't mind, Miss Liu can go to live with me, anyway, there is an empty room." ”
is just one Liu Xinwan, Zhou Yawen believes that she can't figure out any tricks, even if they are really "husband and wife thieves", she is confident to subdue the little beauty in front of her who can't even unscrew the bottle cap.
In fact, in her heart, she had already chosen to believe Xiao Wen's words, but she couldn't accept this strange fact for a while.
notified all the neighbors, and in line with the idea that they would rather believe what they have than what they don't have, Zhou Yawen also joined them.
"We look like cultists are preaching the end of the world." The faces of those residents were full of suspicion, but many chose to believe her identity as a police officer, some chose to simply pack up and move their families to a nearby hotel, while others said that they would see the situation after dawn before deciding whether to leave.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yawen looked depressed: "Xiao Wen, I have put the face of my deputy captain of the criminal police on you, if there is no rainstorm as you said tomorrow, then my deputy captain will not have to do it." ”
Xiao Wen was also very depressed, his original intention was just to take Liu Xinwan away, but he didn't expect to make a temporary cameo appearance as the aunt of the neighborhood committee: "If it doesn't rain so heavily tomorrow, you will arrest me, in addition to accusing me of crooked noses, betraying my accomplices, and doing all the bad things, I also spread rumors by the way, which is simply evil." ”
"In my experience, you can't go wrong. The kidnapper who was captured in the morning has been killed twice by you before. ”
Xiao Wen, who returned home, although he didn't bring the color home like last time, was also exhausted after a busy night's work, and fell asleep.
There was no word until noon the next day, when the prophesied rainstorm came as scheduled, from the first few drops of soybean raindrops to the intensity of the rain, and in an instant, it was like a flash flood, and the whole city instantly turned into a vast ocean.
