12. Chapter XII
Ling Xiao came back late tonight, and the case was a little tricky, which was already an unprecedented case in H City.
The death toll was 58, all of them unnatural deaths, and the death was extremely horrific, with residual drugs found in the body and limbs damaged. The truck driver committed suicide on the spot, and the car was also a license plate. Just checking the identity of the deceased took a month, and the result was that the identity of the deceased basically had nothing in common, if you have to say the commonality, that is, they were all between 18 and 35 years old. It's more like a well-regulated killing game than murder, or is it a real yΓ n with humans as real yΓ n!?
Ling Xiao's heart was turbulent, but his face became more and more calm, I am afraid that this matter is too involved and cannot be good. If this is a real thing, the high value of the residue found can already be determined, and it must cost a lot of money to get it, and there are people who dare to do it or have the ability to do it. Ling Xiao remembered the medicine he got in the town last time, but in the end he found out that it came from a gangster, how could a gang have such a thing? It was impossible for reason to tell Ling Xiao that things were so simple, so he stopped and did not investigate openly, but only secretly sent people to infiltrate, but there were no relevant clues so far.
Before he knew it, he had reached the elevator entrance, and he just wanted to press the button when he saw the elevator door open, and the old man inside was full of anxiety.
Ling Xiao knew this old man, she was Wang Ren's grandmother.
So he asked, "Grandma, why did you come out so late?" β
Grandma Wang hadn't seen Ling Xiao, but because she was too worried about her grandson, she asked anxiously: "Young man, my grandson hasn't come back yet, have you seen it?" He's so tallβ" he said, gesturing with his hand, and then said, "Fifteen or sixteen years old... We stayed on the 6th floor."
Ling Xiao immediately became serious: "Grandma, don't worry, your grandson is Wang Ren, I know him on the fifth floor where I live, where did he go, do you know?" β
Grandma said, "He said he was going to celebrate his classmate's birthday... It's eleven o'clock, why haven't I come home yet....I'll wait for him at the door..."
Ling Xiao said: "I'll go with you." β
So the two went to the gate of the community to wait for Wang Ren, and waited for about ten minutes, but no one came back, at this time Ling Xiao was a little anxious, so he said to Grandma Wang: "Grandma, why don't you go back first, I am familiar with Wang Ren, I will go to find him." β
Grandma Wang wanted to follow her to find it, and just as Ling Xiao was about to persuade her, a Mercedes-Benz stopped at the entrance of the community, and Wang Ren walked out of the car.
Ling Xiao stared at the smiling man in the driver's seat, this person he knew, deputy director of a bureau in H City, surnamed Zhu.
As soon as Wang Ren got out of the car, the Mercedes-Benz stopped stopping and drove away immediately. At this time, Wang Ren saw two people standing at the entrance of the community, grandma and Ling Xiao.
Wang Ren's eyes were flustered for a moment, and he immediately changed his smile, and he asked, "Grandma, Brother Ling, why are you two here?" β
Ling Xiao didn't speak, and grandma scolded: "Don't you look at how late it is!" Grandma is worried! β
Wang Ren felt guilty, so he said in a good voice: "Everyone is playing harder, I didn't pay attention for a while, and it was very late when I came back to my senses, grandma I'm sorry, next time I won't do this." β
Hearing this, my grandmother also softened, and said in a soft tone: "Remember next time!" And... We want to thank this young man, who waited for you at my old man's house at night, alas, the young man's grandmother still doesn't know your name! β
Ling Xiao stared at Wang Ren as if he hadn't heard, so Wang Ren replied for him: "This is Ling Xiao, who lives on the fifth floor in the same building with us... I was taught basketball by Brother Ling...", and then thanked Ling Xiao again: "Brother Ling is in trouble today, and he is still waiting for me with my grandmother so late..."
As if he hadn't heard this, Ling Xiao opened his mouth and asked, "Who sent you back just now?" β
At this time, grandma also noticed, and looked at Wang Ren with questioning eyes, Wang Ren's face was as usual, and he said in a gentle voice: "It's too late, I didn't get a ride, but fortunately, this kind uncle sent me back." β
Grandma's tone was a little reproachful: "It's just that you're playing so late!" I'm usually afraid that you'll be bored when I read at home, who knew that you were so crazy to play and the same as when you were a child, what if you met a bad guy? β
Wang Ren coaxed his grandmother in a good voice, the elevator had reached the fifth floor, and then he heard Ling Xiao say: "Wang Ren, come out, I have something to say." β
Wang Ren said to his grandmother that he would go back later, and he followed Ling Xiao out of the elevator.
The elevator door closed slowly, Ling Xiao turned his back to Wang Ren, looking a kind of silent coldness, he turned around, the light in the corridor was a little dim, and his eyes couldn't see it really, but he faintly felt that his whole face contained a sense of anger.
Ling Xiao's eyes were fixed on Wang Ren, and his voice was as cold as ice slag: "Why did he send you back." β
He got closer again, Wang Ren felt a huge sense of oppression, almost out of breath, he looked away so as not to look at Ling Xiao, and said in a faint voice: "Didn't you say it just now, the passerby who kindly sent me back." β
Ling Xiao suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched Wang Ren's chin, forcing him to look at him, his movements were very rough, the young man frowned painfully, but Ling Xiao stared at the other party's eyes as if he didn't see it, and his tone was deliberate and hard: "Do you know, it's the man just now, how many boys were destroyed in his hands?" Some of those boys are voluntary, some are forced, but what about you? He forced you!? β
It was Wang Ren who answered him, and he broke free of his hand with all his might, and this way carried a kind of decisiveness and alienation, and Ling Xiao even saw a trace of hostility in Wang Ren's eyes. Ling Xiao suddenly felt as if his heart was empty, and then it was filled with poison, which rushed out of his mouth along the limbs where the blood flowed, as if the thread of reason was suddenly broken, and then he saw himself violently pressing the other party against the wall, and one hand imprisoned his resisting hands.
The young man was as weak as a kitten with tender paws stretched out, and his struggle was almost invincible to the force of his blow, he was close to Wang Ren's ear, his movements were very ambiguous, and his voice was low and hoarse but with quenching cruelty: "So....you are voluntary? Don't sue me that the disgusting smell of tobacco and alcohol on your body is contaminated by your classmates' birthday party?! What do you want? Money or fame? β¦ Will it buy you in this way? What do you want... I can give it to you..."Saying that, he gently licked the young man's earlobe, just like this, it made his whole body steam, he was immersed in that soft and delicate touch, and suddenly felt that his lower body was kicked by the other party heavily, and then the severe pain made his scalp numb, and as soon as his hands and feet were loosened, he was broken free by the other party.
When he came back to his senses, he saw Wang Ren's face pale, squatting in pain next to the trash can and vomiting.
Ling Xiao immediately felt that something was wrong, and asked in a panic, "Are you okay?" He stretched out his hand and just wanted to give the other party a smooth breath, but he was vigorously thrown away.
Then he saw the other's eyes, with a cold hostility of disgust.
Ling Xiao was suddenly flustered and at a loss, almost didn't know how to form sentences, and said in an anxious tone: "Ah... No, no, Ah Ren! You listen to me...", he stretched out his hand to soothe the other party's cold face, wanting him to stop being so cold and stinging.
The moment he was about to touch the other party, he was pushed away by the other party, Wang Ren's face was as white as paper, and his voice was so sharp that he said: "Fuck you!" Who are you! Don't touch me!! He wiped the corners of his mouth with his hand, stared at Ling Xiao with slanted eyes, retreated step by step, and then turned around like a terrifying jackal, stumbling to the staircase.
Ling Xiao stood in place, falling into the ice cave, unable to move his hands and feet, and watched Wang Ren escape with his eyes open, the young man's back was thin and cold, full of distrust.
He gradually squatted down against the corner of the wall, he was too tired recently, his eyes drooped tiredly, he recalled the scene just now, and when he recalled those cold eyes, his heart seemed to be hollowed out, did he hate me? Ling Xiao questioned in his heart. Is it because I misunderstood him that he hated me? I must have misunderstood him! What the hell is that guy surnamed Zhu?
Then he remembered that just now, the boy was pressed in his arms and could not move, warm and soft, and his body was forced to open to him, as if he couldn't resist what he did, and wanted to make him cry! Ling Xiao crossed one dark thought after another in his heart, and returned to the house on the fifth floor with the tent that had already been erected high under him.
When Wang Ren returned home, the light was still on in the living room, and his grandmother was sitting on the sofa waiting for him. So long? That young man is good, he looks like a decent person, so he lives downstairs with us, and he will have a care in the future..."
Wang Ren said lightly, "Hmm." After saying a word, he went back to his room.
When he returned to the room, he immediately went to take a shower, the clothes he was wearing today were already intended, the water was a little hot, and he lay in the bathtub, only his nose and eyes were exposed, and his eyes were staring at the ethereal fog in a daze. The hot water pierced the skin with a slight pain, but this pain made people feel comfortable and sober, his heart gradually hardened, the past swayed in front of him one by one, the sorrow of the previous life still lingered in his ears, is grandma's death really nothing strange? And can you really study in peace and stability in this life as you think, and you can get through it safely without taking the initiative to get involved in the things of your life? What a naivety! Trouble always takes the initiative to find the door, the last life died in an unknown way, if you don't take the initiative in this life, it still seems like you can't see anything clearly in the fog, so how can you ensure peace and security? What was it in the last life? It's like a brewing danger that completely erupted at the moment of his death, and it seems that this matter must be clarified! Also, some of the evils should have been removed.
Wang Ren came out of the bathroom, and the mist diffused out, as if he was hiding in the fog, his black and white eyes gradually revealed, like a stunning ghost.
He put on a bathrobe, revealing a small slender calf, the delicate collarbone loomed, and he lay on the bed in a large font, the screen window was open, the wind outside the window blew in, lifted the curtains, and Wang Ren's hair was also blown scattered, in fact, the night wind was already cool, but Wang Ren didn't seem to care at all or didn't feel it at all, he stared straight at the ceiling, thinking of Ling Xiao.
The feeling of such a cold and rigid oppression makes people feel... It's scary!
