It was raining lightly outside, the light rain in late autumn and the light wind blew me a little shivering, I regretted not wearing an extra piece of clothing when I came, and after making the call, I staggered back to my residence with Song Fei, not that I was in a mood all of a sudden, but it was really too cold, and I could make myself a little warmer. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Song Fei was wearing a thick turtleneck sweater with thick needles, and a tweed coat, and she pulled the neckline up slightly, not like me who was so embarrassed in the light rain. "Otherwise, I'll give you my eldest sister, right?" Song Fei saw that I was really uncomfortable, so she made a gesture to give me the coat.

I stopped her: "No, I'm going back soon, I'll be fine if I run two steps, I'll just drink some ginger syrup when I go home." "I'm used to having Wei Kai answer every time I finish a task, so I didn't notice how uncomfortable the weather change would be. But I think sometimes, I really have the function of prophecy, and just as we were about to step into the community, I suddenly caught a glimpse of Wei Kai at the gate. Thinking of what I read today, I took two steps back. Song Fei noticed my strange appearance, turned her head and just wanted to ask me, I put my index finger in front of my mouth, signaled her not to speak yet, and then slowly left the place with her.

Walking a little farther away and seeing that no one was coming, I was completely relaxed: "I'm sorry, I've had to let you and I wander outside for a long time today, or" I tilted my head and thought for a moment, "Otherwise, you can go back by yourself, it's too cold outside, and it's really a shame for you to stay with me in the rain like this." "The two of us stopped in front of a small convenience store.

Song Fei frowned and rejected me again: "No, I really can't worry about leaving you outside alone in this weather." What's more, Li Jing said to me that you are now entangled in some not-so-good relationships. I could tell that Song Fei was considering her own words.

I bought a glass of ginger cola at the convenience store, and then stretched out my hand to Song Fei: "That's right, but I'm at a convenience store, and if there is danger in this place, it's convenient for me to call the police." And, to tell you the truth, the person I was hiding just now was not a bad person, it happened to be a relative who was very good to me, but I couldn't see him for some reasons for the time being. So don't worry, I'm safe here too, I'll call you like I did just now if there's a problem. And I slept at noon, and you didn't rest all the time, running around with me, which is enough to make me feel embarrassed, and I can't let you stay here with me anymore if I'm not hungry. Okay, I'll leave my coat and go back to rest. "I took the coat in his hand, then pushed the door and sent her out.

When I turned around and went back to the store, the uncle who was standing at the front desk was looking at me with a strange look. I turned around and shook the half-drunk empty glass in my hand and said, "What?" Poisoned in it? ”

The uncle smiled: "You have a lawyer by your side who can call the police and provide witnesses at any time, why don't you dare to risk poisoning you in front of her?" The uncle picked a few oden and put them in a paper cup, "Let's eat it while people are eating, I feel cold when I look at you." ”

"Hmm, thank you." I unceremoniously took the paper cup, and the paper cup transmitted the temperature of the oden from your fingertips to all parts of your body, and instantly felt much warmer than just holding the warm ginger cola. I sat at a makeshift table at a convenience store and ate oden, and halfway through my meal, I went to get instant noodles again.

"How much can you eat when you're hungry little girl?" The convenience store uncle looked at me with some surprise.

I nodded: "The rain came all the way, it's too cold, it consumes too many calories, don't worry, I'll pay you in a while anyway." "The thought of wanting to fill my stomach as soon as possible made me not even bother to lift my eyelids when I spoke.

"It's not about the money." The uncle muttered, "What did you say you were running, now you're so depressed." ”

After eating, I wiped my mouth, threw the instant noodle bowl and the paper cup containing the oden into the trash, and then took two more chewing gums from the front desk: "Ah, I'm full." "Well, but it's better to be down now than to be captured and killed by you." "Maybe it's because I'm full and warm, but I've actually recovered a lot more than just now.

"I know it all, and the organization is monitoring everyone's affairs every day." I looked into my uncle's eyes, and he was speechless for a moment, and he didn't say anything to refute it.

Now that it's the dead of night and the weather is so bad, there won't be any other customers in this world except for the occasional passer-by who passes by to take shelter from the rain. I sat back in the position I had just placed, thinking that when Wei Kai should see Song Fei go back alone, he understood that I would not go back. It's time to go home.

I smiled and looked at the uncle who was looking at me with a tangled face, and said with a little sarcasm: "Uncle, in order to arrest me back, the organization has gone to great lengths, and it has made a fuss about letting you deliberately dress up as a clerk to arrest me." ”

"They don't necessarily command me." When the uncle heard me say this, he suddenly laughed, and his tone was like laughing at an ignorant child.

"Then what are you doing here? Did you simply change careers and open a convenience store? It's really the opposite of your previous style. "That's it, this uncle is a well-known 'ghost killer' in the organization, and he rarely appears in front of everyone, I was able to meet him, and it was also when Xiaozhi was on a mission that I found out that he seemed to be plotting something with the boss. Xiaozhi's unintentional intrusion made the situation a little frozen at that time, and the boss didn't want Xiaozhi to know about this ghost killer at the time, but because Xiaozhi had done his homework on the members of the organization at the beginning of the mission, and took a general look, it was the ghost killer he had never met, so he paid attention to it at that time. Ostensibly retreated, in fact, he put a bugging device on the outer doorknob, with the clear purpose of wanting to know what the boss thought would have something to do with the ghost killer and meet secretly. But the other two have worked hard for many years, and they are not vegetarians, and they seem to have guessed that Xiaozhi will not easily give up to find out the news, and the subsequent conversations almost did not involve any core issues, and finally, after the ghost killer left the meeting, he also specially stopped at the door to let the opinion meeting, and laughed at the outdated eavesdropping method of Xiaozhi. It was at that time that Xiaozhi and I were entangled in a feeling called "ghost killer" about this man called the 'ghost killer'. After all, when I came into contact with him, it was the second year of secondary school between me and Xiaozhi, and I couldn't like a person who talked about your shortcomings and hit your self-confidence anyway.

The uncle seemed to know that I didn't like him, and he didn't have any reproach for my impoliteness, but asked casually, "See Wei Kai?" ”

Although his voice sounded casual, Wei Kai was mentioned in his words, which made me vigilant, and I looked at him: "I just came here to find something to eat." "The answer is not what I asked, and by the way, there are some worries about Wei Kai.

The uncle smiled: "I arranged for him to stand there, with his current ability, it is impossible to find you so quickly." ”

I slammed up from my seat and asked nervously, "What do you mean?" ”

The uncle waved at me, walked up to me, and pressed me back to his seat: "As I said earlier, even if it is a task assigned by the organization, it is up to me to decide whether to carry it out or not. ”

Feeling something in his words, I tried to calm myself down; "So you mean, you haven't decided whether to help them or not?"

The uncle pulled a chair and sat in front of me, shook his head, and looked at me quite seriously: "I didn't think about whether to help you or not." After that, he threw out a recording of a conversation between him and the boss, who asked him to help me find a safe place to hide for the time being, to be precise, to protect me for a while. Because he is a ghost killer, he is always haunted, unless it is his reason, it is difficult for people to find his traces, and he protects me, so that no one in the organization can find out my whereabouts for the time being. I recalled the information that Banque had given me just now, and there was indeed no information about the Ghost Slayer in the information. It seems that the boss is fighting hard to protect Xiaozhi and stop me from doing anything wrong. I believe that this sentence is not a free transaction, and I don't know what kind of quid pro quo he proposed to the boss.

In order not to cause more trouble, I flatly rejected the boss's kindness, and I looked at the uncle and said seriously; "I don't accept any kind of help, so please relay this to the boss."

"If I don't help you, I'll have to automatically stand on the side of the stop and take you away." Uncle scared me viciously, but there was a gentle expression on his face.

"Don't smile so cutely at my war, I think it will be heartwarming." After knowing in my heart that this person was not a threat, I boldly pinched my uncle's face, "This kind of expression doesn't look like it's going to dismantle me for a reward." ”

Uncle embarrassed not to overdo it; "Okay, I've brought the words, and they're all worried about you." Turning his face, the uncle said.

I didn't know that the boss and his personal relationship were so good, good enough that the clan could go to the boss's side during this special period, but I knew that even if the personal relationship was very good, the 'ghost killer' would not easily do a loss-making business, I looked at the uncle and asked worriedly, "Uncle, I want to know what the quid pro quo between the boss and you is?" ”

"Since the deal hasn't been made, there's no need to negotiate quid pro quo, right?" Big Numbers obviously didn't want to tell me the truth.

I was silent for a few seconds and then said, "I'm worried about them too, you should know what I mean, most people in the organization should smell the change of wind and clouds now, so anyone with some ability will hold as many beats as possible in their hands, and use it as a shield to protect themselves at the most critical moment." Before something happens, it's definitely not easy to show your cards. That's my reason for rejecting you, I don't want the boss to show my hole cards because it's too big for him, he has other kids to protect. I'm not kind, but I don't want the boss to use his trump card for nothing. That's also the explanation I want you to bring back to the boss. I have the ability to protect myself, so let him not worry. ”

"But you know, I don't do a money-losing business, and if I have too much contact with your boss now, it will also be dangerous for me to act as my own agent." Uncle looked at me with ulterior motives and said.

I laughed, and it seemed that the deal could still be negotiated. I stretched out two fingers, like a 'v' word: "Give two conditions to the effort, use the first condition in exchange for letting you bring flowers to the boss, and use the second condition in exchange for the benefits that the boss wants to give you in my favor." ”

The uncle nodded with satisfaction; "I've grown a lot, and I know that you've negotiated terms with me, and I can't tell you not to underestimate you. But I'd like to hear your terms before I consider whether or not to trade with you. ”

"The first condition." I glanced at him and said, "The progress of the case." To put it bluntly, what I am investigating now is directly related to the organization, I know that I am playing with fire, and I also know that the day the truth of the case is revealed, it will involve the interests of the organization, that is to say, it will also be related to your personal interests. Don't tell me you're not involved in the organization's business. Although it is impossible for me to halt the investigation of this case, I can keep you informed of the progress of this case so that you can find the right time to separate your interests and retreat early. I was thinking that the conditions were attractive enough for you to help me pass the word to the boss. Everyone loves superfilms, doesn't they? ”

The uncle nodded: "This condition sounds enough for someone, and I agree to repeat your explanation to your boss as it is." What about the second condition? ”

"The second condition." I laughed, "It's more tempting than the first condition, I'm sure you'll help my boss, in addition to the favor of you, the conditions he put forward are also the most in your interests." Since the boss can give you something, I want to bring you the same with me who has been with him for so long. So my second condition, which is that I will help you look at the second condition, is that you tell me exactly what the boss said to you and what you want to exchange. ”

The uncle leaned back in his chair; "You're talking to me."

"But as long as you say it, I'll help you make it happen." I looked into the other person's eyes, but I couldn't read the emotion in them, which made me feel a little irritated.

"I'm sorry." The man spread his hands, "I think you may be able to complete this little quid pro quo." The man said with a somewhat regretful expression.

I said indifferently, "But as you said, it's hard, not impossible." So, I know in your heart you think I can do it, but it's a little bit harder, isn't it? ”

The uncle struggled for a moment before he said, "I promised you one condition, then I will complete the first transaction first." You have to do it one step at a time, don't you? ”

It can be seen that the uncle is avoiding this issue, and I did not dwell on it; "Okay, after this case is done, let's talk about the second condition."

"By the way, uncle, I still have something to ask you." I put it this way.

was handed a cup of hot tea by the uncle: "After the tea is drunk, your problem is over, don't talk to people about your meeting with me today." In exchange, you can answer a question for free, and ask again when you think about it. ”

"Uncle, have you been until Xuanfeng's wife?" I looked at my uncle and asked.

The uncle's pupils widened for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure: "Xuan Feng is not married, to be precise, although he held a ceremony with the woman next to him, there is no such constraint between the two. ”

"Why?" I asked, tilting my head.

"That's already the second question." But he looked at me and said, but he didn't mean to refuse.

"But you didn't answer me a single question in both places, I asked about Xuanfeng's wife's situation, but you shifted the topic to Whirlwind's marital status, which is not commensurate with my question, so I can naturally ask more questions." I say it for granted.

Uncle breathed a sigh of salt, as if he had nothing to do with me; "Just like your dad. Well, let's talk about what questions you want to take off about Xuanfeng's wife. "Uncle was completely defeated, but perhaps considering that the matter in my mind this time was involved in his interests within the organization, he didn't say anything and helped me as much as possible.

"All the things in every aspect, including why they didn't go and sign that engagement." I mean it, although I don't know why Whirlwind changed his actions seventeen years ago, I am sure that that woman must have something to do with Xuan Feng stopping his massacre. Two months after Xuan Feng stopped the massacre, he appeared in our profile. The organization will not allow anyone to simply use this as a safe haven and continue to cause trouble outside, leaving the entire organization in crisis. It seems that the incorporation of Xuan Feng is also because he is sure that he will not make trouble outside, so he is relieved to let him enter our territory. He took this woman with him at that time, and I think this woman has the best idea of what happened at that time.

"Are you in the tea whirlwind, or are you checking on that woman again?" The uncle asked this sentence with a very serious expression.

"Uncle asked a question, if according to the logic of the countdown, is it only fair that I am hungry to ask more questions?" I smiled slyly, and the county's little abacus crackled.

The uncle was probably completely confused by my question, so he could only smile bitterly and said: "Okay, I won't make a deal with you in this matter, and when it comes to my problem, I will know everything and say everything." ”

I nodded: "Okay, anyway, it may involve your interests, so I'll be honest." I'm both looking it up. "I want to know what provoked Xuan Feng to go on a killing spree, and then stopped killing, after all, there was no intention of the Shanghainese when he robbed the bank." The man in the back has almost nothing to do with love, as if he wants to kill someone. ”

"There are two reasons for killing." The uncle looked at me and said in a deep voice, "One is for money, and the other is for love." Professional killers are for money, and the rest are mostly for love, no matter what it is. ”

"Do you think Xuan Feng and his wife were in love before?" I looked at my uncle and asked, "I haven't experienced feelings, so I don't know what kind of feelings they have." ”

"I don't know much about other people's housework." The uncle was a little helpless when he said this, "And our style of acting is not the same, I can't draw conclusions to you on the side." ”

"Are they intimate?" I then asked, in fact, I raised my own question in disguise, "I know that every year Xuanfeng will go to the grassland by himself for a week during the summer solstice. I believe that even if Xuan Feng told his wife, that woman would notice that her husband would disappear regularly for a period of time every year, which is very strange to think about. If his wife wasn't suspicious at all, it meant he knew a lot about the past, but I checked it. Neither of Xuan Feng's parents died during that time, and I can't find the meaning of him leaving alone to go to the grassland. However, I can be sure that he is honoring a person, alone in memory of a person who is very important to him. ”

Uncle looked at me with a complicated look in his eyes; "His wife must have known, but I haven't heard of two people having a falling out over it. You know, there were people around us who were watching us, so at first the organization was very concerned about his annual itinerary, and I was afraid that it was an undercover agent sent by the police. So after he left, someone would go out of his way to visit it, or see if there were any secret codes or anything like that he had left in the place where he stayed. But nothing came of it. ”

"It's because he has nothing that it makes people even more suspicious, did the organization find someone to check his past, or torture him to extract a confession? Surely he got some tricks, right? "I know Jin Hao's father's style of doing things too well, and I am suspicious, if it weren't for the boss personally pushing him to that position, he would definitely do something excessive to us, the boss's 'children'.

The man didn't speak, but through his silence, I knew I had guessed correctly, and I cautiously asked, "Did he say it himself, or did the traitor next to him say it?" ”

The uncle glanced at me, and then shook his head expressionlessly: "No, it was the woman next to him who said it." ”

Hearing this answer, I couldn't help but be a little surprised, and suppressed the urge to call out, I pretended to be calm and asked; "Torture to extract confessions?"

"No, I just scared two sentences, and I confessed." The uncle replied very calmly, "I brushed my heart and let that girl fall for the trick." But it didn't particularly scare her, at that time, she was still a little girl, Xuan Feng protected her very well, she had never been in contact with things in the organization, she was simply fatal, even more basic than Xiaozhi, and others would believe whatever they said. So when the organization sent someone to show her a fake photo of Xuan Feng being punished, and scared her into killing Xuan Feng without telling the reason why Xuan Feng left alone, she told the truth without even thinking about it. But for some reason, she wanted Xuan Feng to survive. Finally, after the organization learned about the situation, they threatened her to never tell her about it, even to the whirlwind, and then let her go. That girl can be regarded as keeping her promise, Xuan Feng still doesn't know that he has been investigated very cleanly, anyway, he has not made trouble for this matter. Moreover, this kind of top-secret file, except for a few high-level officials, basically has no written record. So I'm sure you didn't find any clues about this. "What did she say?" I asked, "What secrets does Xuan Feng's past hide, and what does that woman have to do with him?" If it is because of the deep sins of the past, I am afraid that I will be found out and implicate others, but in fact, what you said and what I used to think are different things. Now tell me, what did that girl say? ”

The uncle looked at me and hesitated for a moment before replying: "You are right, every year when you go to the vegetable garden during the summer solstice of Xuanfeng, you just miss someone, a person he will never meet again." ”

"His lover?" I suddenly had such a guess.

"That's right." The uncle nodded, "His deceased lover." Maybe that's the answer you want, I can't reveal any more details, and if I say anything more, I'll have to charge. Given that this is a top-secret file that can threaten Xuan Feng, I think I will charge an outrageous price. So. "Uncle made a gesture of please, and I knew it meant to let me go.

I paid for the instant noodles and oden, and bought some snacks and bread for supper, if Song Fei waited for me, the two of us could eat together, and if she rested first, it would be considered an early tomorrow. I didn't expect her to wait for me to come home, after all, no matter how similar my personality and her brother's personality were, we were two different people after all. While waiting for my uncle to find me change, I asked him, "Can you tell me the name of my lover?" ”

The uncle shook his head: "I can't comment on this, but I think you can pay attention to a case, which also happened 17 years ago, in a small county near the grassland where he frequented, there was an extraordinary murder, and the dead were three people." That's all I can give you. You have to be careful about the rest of the road. "My uncle didn't look at me, but read the newspaper again.

"I will." My super uncle nodded, "Also, I think the next time we meet, you can give me a positive answer, I hope you can let me fulfill your wish." ”

The uncle's eyes never left the newspaper on his mobile phone, and I didn't delay any longer, so I put on my coat and pushed open the door of the convenience store and walked out. The rain has stopped, and there is no wind, maybe I ate at the convenience store, or my coat blocked some of the cold, but it was late at night, but I didn't feel as cold as I had just now. Taking advantage of the heat that had not yet dissipated, I wrapped my coat tightly and trotted towards where I lived. but accidentally bumped into the oncoming man. As I bumped into him on my left shoulder, I heard him whisper in my ear, "Don't worry, I'll always be behind your back to protect you." ”

Hearing Wei Kai's voice, I couldn't help but sigh, but at the same time, I also felt the chill from the other party, not only a little distressed. couldn't stop sighing in his heart: "I'll be handsome." Can't help but reach out and rub his hair, and quickly turn sideways and flee there at the moment when he was stunned.

When I subconsciously put my hand in my coat pocket, I felt a piece of paper folded into a heart shape like tin foil wrapped in chewing gum. At first, I thought it was Song Fei's thing, so I didn't pay much attention to it, but when I walked into the community, I suddenly remembered that when I was pretending to be Wei Kai just now, it was my left shoulder that came into contact with him, and I found that the position of the note happened to be the left pocket of the coat. I took out the heart-shaped origami, and after some psychological construction, although I was afraid that it was Song Fei's personal belongings, I still opened the origami, and there was a series of numbers written on the white side of the tin foil. Just looking at the handwriting, I recognized that it was Wei Kai's genuine handwriting, 11 digits, which should be the contact information of his heart left for me. I carefully folded the slip of paper and put it in my pants pocket, checked the other pockets on my coat, and when I found that there was really no such thing as a note, I walked into the unit building with confidence.

When I opened the door, I found that the light in the living room was on, and Song Fei was sitting on the sofa with a laptop on her lap. When he saw me coming back, he put his notebook on the sofa next to him and beckoned me to sit down.

"Haven't slept yet?" Knowing that she was waiting for me, I was a little embarrassed.

She put the notebook on my lap and said, "You really guessed right, the biggest thing the victims' families have in common is that they married the adopted girl to their son. Some of them were reluctant, and I found a local police record that several of the girls in the victims' families had reported to the police that they had been raped in the adoptive family. And, you see. Song Fei pointed to the group of people she had divided into separately and said, "These are the people who were not harmed in those cases, except for one who had an accident before the murder, and the rest are still alive." The killer seems to have known when they would leave their homes and chose to go to their homes when they were not there, but allowed them to escape. ”

I looked closely at the profiles of those who had survived, and found that they were all adopted girls.

"Can you find out how the man who had the accident before the murder died?" I asked Song Fei.

"Suicide." Song Fei replied in the affirmative, "I checked the local records, and it was a suicide case. Although the girl was diagnosed as suicidal, her body showed multiple scars, she was supposed to have been violently attacked before committing suicide, and she had reported to the police that she had been raped by her stepfather and brother. But then it seemed to be gone, and not long after, she married the brother of the family, a person she had called the police to say that she had raped her, and then committed suicide not long after. The forensic exam says like I believe in developmental judgments, so you can imagine how much pain she suffered. Although there are no photos, just looking at the report is enough to make people gnash their teeth with hatred. Song Fei's back molars clucked.

Looking at the list of victims, I suddenly had a terrible thought: "I think the murderer seems to be protecting these girls." (To be continued.) )
