Chapter 12 The Correct Meaning of Choice

"Who's that?" I asked Hu Gu.

Hu Gu began to fall silent again, but the smile on her face grew bigger as the minute hand turned. Suddenly, he raised his head and stared at me as if he wanted to see me through a hole: "Suddenly I want to tell you something." ”

"What's the matter?" His sudden change in attitude reminded me of a tragedy that could have happened.

"Is that kid going to keep you trying to get me to tell me what you want to know, and then that kid is out there on standby at all times, so that the moment I say it, he tries to stop our plans, right?" He leaned back into the back of his chair.

I knew he was now thinking we couldn't stop the catastrophe, I glanced at my watch, and now the time was 9:15, and I felt a 'pop' in my heart, and my heart beat faster, and I knew that what he was trying to say now meant that the big bang might happen in the next ten minutes. Li Jing has already arrived in L City by plane, and now it should be on the way to L City, the mobile phone has been hung up a few hours ago, and now there is a sudden call reminder, I know that it is Li Jing's signal to get off the plane, and I secretly answered his call in my trouser pocket. I am still insisting, insisting on not letting the tragedy that happened to Ban Que back then befall Li Jing.

While praying silently, I cautiously confirmed to Hu Gu: "It's about to start?" ”

Hu Gu smiled, smiling very easily, but did not return to my question, he still leaned back in his chair relaxedly: "Let's make a deal, okay?" ”

"What deal?" I knew in his heart that our fate was certain to death, but I still didn't give up hope and wanted to know more answers.

"Find out the answer, make it public, and I'll tell you where the bomb was placed?" The man opposite wiped the water stains left on his beard because of drinking water with his handcuffed hands.

"We've found out that the bomb was placed at the headquarters of the Mulan Company." I still didn't tell him the truth.

The man shook his head: "Little girl, you really don't know us, do you think we can really be found out by you so easily, you are still too young." Do you really think you found out our plan yourself? If it weren't for our deliberate exposure, you wouldn't have been able to find the answer no matter how long you searched. ”

"The explosion in City C that you deliberately created? Just so that we can investigate the Mulan Company? ”

The man was noncommittal: "It's a bit of a brain, otherwise you think you can find our purpose by going through one of the cases, this is a trap we deliberately designed, so that you can enter and be at our mercy." However, the plan went smoothly, and you have been helping us according to our plan since you took the bait, including the fairy tale that you have been secretly with your partner, and we are also clear. The man's eyes curved and he smiled comically but terrifyingly.

"Alright." The man sat up straight and said, "I don't play hide and seek with you, you can't stop it from happening, whatever questions you want to ask, I can answer you other questions except where to put the bomb." ”

"Who smuggled that shipment?" Being seen through by others, but without the tension I felt just now, I simply took my phone out of my trouser pocket.

"What?" The man didn't seem to hear my question clearly.

"Me and the guy on the phone want to know who stole that shipment?" I guess he must not have expected me to dwell on this issue.

The man looked at me with a frown: "Why do you want to know this answer?" ”

"I said I was going to help you, your brother." After thinking about it, I added, "Whether we can stop the future or not." ”

"Why?" Disbelief was written all over the man's face.

I put down the information in my hand, just looked at the man in front of me with a different face, and said sincerely: "The souls of the dead need the sacrifice of the truth, so that they can have knowledge and rest in peace. So, since you have denied my previous speculation, I want to know the truth about the facility, who embezzled that batch of goods and planted it to your brother, causing the tragedy in L City last year. ”

The man closed his eyes, biting his lip with his teeth in pain, and the minutes passed, and when the time was about to reach halfway, the man opened his eyes, glanced at the watch on my wrist and said, "Finally we can take revenge." He gritted his teeth, but tears were streaming down his face. As soon as I realized what was happening, there was a loud 'bang' sound on my phone, followed by a busy 'doo-doo' sound on my phone.

In an instant, my whole body turned yellow, I got up from my chair and handed over all the materials on the table to the man opposite: "Why? Why are you doing this? ”

But Hu Gu on the other side was obviously stunned, and kept nagging: "Impossible, impossible." ”

"What can't be?" I screamed and grabbed Hu Gu's shoulder, "Where's my boyfriend!" I shook the man's shoulders violently, I even grabbed his hair and screamed blindly, the explosion reminded me of the last and most painful memory of the self-seal, the lingering nightmarish memory in which Banque's bloody smile reappeared in my mind. I slapped Hu Gu on the other side frantically, and I knew I was crazy. Seeing this, the policeman who was usually in charge of guarding Hugu dragged me outside the reception room.

Because he also heard the last explosion on his phone, he also looked overwhelmed as he watched me sit outside the door and cry. He was clearly a little distracted by the explosion and even looked even more upset than I was.

There were windows open in the corridor, and the night after the rain was exceptionally cool, perhaps because of the cold touch of the wind in the hall, the moment I entered the corridor, my mind was sober, I apologized to the policeman who came out and said thank you, and then prepared to enter the reception room again, after all, the things entrusted to me by Li Jing have not been clarified.

When I sorted out my situation and was about to enter again, the policeman who had just brought me out stopped me with a worried face, probably afraid that I would get excited again. I coaxed him into a smile and reassured him that I wouldn't be in trouble again.

"After all, this is what I have been entrusted with." I pushed the door open and said.

The man's gaze followed me as I pushed the door, but his gaze became a little dull now, I don't know if it was because I was frightened by the love just now. I was still sitting across from him, and I didn't have the good temper I had just now: "Say it." I asked him hoarsely as I looked at the tips of my fingers.

"Say what?" The man's puzzled voice reached my ears.

"I just asked you a question." I said impatiently.

"Don't you care about your partner anymore?" Not only did the man not answer, but he kept asking me rhetorical questions.

"Shut up for me." I raised my head and stared at my red eyes and scolded, "Lao Tzu****** now I want to ask you for your life." I jumped in front of him again and grabbed the collar of his clothes, "Give me an honest answer, I don't want to talk nonsense with you now." Also, don't use your stinky mouth to mention Li Jing's name. ”

The policeman next to me pulled me away and married me to calm down.

I shook off his hand and sat back on the chair opposite: "How can I calm down, the brute opposite, Li Jing." My eyes turned red as I spoke.

Hu Gu changed his attitude just now, but laughed instead: "I'm really sorry, your boyfriend's incident should be an accident." ”

"Shut up." I yelled at him, "It's not an accident at all, it's your bomb, it's your revenge that killed my boyfriend." He wants me to help you before he leaves. But what about you? What's the difference between you and the villains of Mulan Company who are careless about people's lives, Li Jing didn't do anything, and he was indeed killed by you. "I became excited again, even if I suppressed my feelings, but when it came to the explosion, I was more like a bomb now.

"But we really didn't want to kill him." The man wanted to make a gesture of spreading his hands, but he had to give up because of the handcuffs, and he smiled helplessly, "I only know our final plan, but I don't know that the final plan includes the headquarters of this bastard company." We just wanted to be able to avenge our brother in their new business location, but we didn't expect others to want to take revenge on them completely. Maybe it's because they saw you arrest me, so they want to make things bigger. However, in the initial plan, it was true that there was no arrangement to plant a bomb at the headquarters of City B, so it can only be said that the plan has changed, and your boyfriend's luck is too unlucky. ”

"Murderous demons, you feel that if your brother had knowledge, he would not be comforted by what you have done, but will feel deeper despair because you have become the kind of criminal they are ashamed of. You are a demon. No, you are demons. "I gritted my teeth and told him that by the time they decided to take revenge with human lives, they had become the demons they had feared, and I finally understood what Li Jing said yesterday as the 'right decision'.

The man did not get angry at my scolding, but looked at me with a sad expression: "You know this pain, I have endured this pain for a whole year, who can understand me, who can help me." ”

I didn't speak, just stared at him angrily.

He shook his head indifferently: "If you want to blame, you can only blame your friend for bad luck." ”

"Then your brother is also unlucky?" I said the other way around.

He slammed the table angrily: "They're different, they're killed." ”

"Li Jing didn't commit suicide either." I still ignored his anger.

The man finally couldn't take it anymore, and he yelled at me; "It's different, they were locked up and burned to death!"

The man opened his mouth, and finally continued: "When they were working in the factory in L City, they chatted with each other and knew that the final process was generally the most secret, and no worker had touched the last process. Even the technical guidance like Du Feng and his girlfriend didn't know, so everyone was curious. It is said that the last process is just assembly and sealing, and there are no trade secrets involved, so why does the last process have to be carried out secretly in the basement. As the saying goes, curiosity kills cats, and although I'm a bastard, I've talked about the world after all, and it's best to pretend to be stupid and not explore some things. But there are people in the factory who just don't understand, so they have to find answers. As a result, the next day, all the hot people knew the secret of the factory, and the factory, under the pretense of manufacturing accessories, packed those terrible powders into the machine and sealed them, and sent them to the so-called docking company, which sent this harmful thing to underground markets all over the country. As a result, the factory exploded at that time, and it would have been okay if everyone had secretly opened it at that time, but at that time, this matter was too powerful in the factory, and the leaders of the factory knew about it, and that night, the factory suddenly caught fire. As I told you, as soon as the gate was closed, the factory was like a prison, and no one could get out at all, and at that time, someone sprinkled gasoline in the factory and set it on fire, and all the people were burned to death. ”

After that, the man choked up and couldn't go on, and after a while, the man said, "As soon as the fire touched the gasoline, it burned so badly that everyone was locked in the factory and couldn't get out." ”

"But you escaped." I looked at Hu Gu and asked, "How did you escape?" ”

Hu Gu smiled bitterly: "Me? I'm smart, but after the news spread, I saw that the leaders in the factory had left the factory, and I felt that something was wrong, and it was said that one or two of these people would stay in the factory to watch, but the first time they all withdrew from the factory, I felt that something was wrong. I reminded my brothers that they should find a way to leave as soon as possible. But no one listened to me, my stupid brothers, who thought that they could save their lives by holding on to the so-called handles without saying anything, and there were people who wanted to use these tricks to control those people for hush money, and felt that there would be nothing to do and insisted on staying there. I was greedy for life and afraid of death, so I found an opportunity to dig out of the factory with some other people, but in the surveillance of the factory, I found that there were men with the size of bodyguards standing outside the fence, and it seemed that they were all burned to death at the fort gate. After I told the big guys about the things in the surveillance, everyone believed me. But it was already late, and there was a sprinkler-like thing outside the factory that suddenly began to sprinkle gasoline into the factory, and something like a torch was thrown in for a long time, and the factory was instantly ignited. ”

"Didn't you call the police?" If I had called the police at that time, I would have been able to save some people.

The man shook his head with red eyes: "There is no signal on the mobile phone, and the phone line is cut off." Later, Du Feng told me that the factory should have blocked the mobile phone signal, and wanted to kill us. We tried a lot of tricks, even to open the water pipes in the hope of peace or confrontation, but to no avail. ”

The man's answer explained the reason for the sudden increase in the water consumption of the Mulan company in L City at that time. But it was not found or reported, so did it not report to the police in the end?

"When I thought I was going to die, someone suddenly remembered that there should be another way out of the basement. Then we ran to the basement, where the stumbling crowd and many were trampled to death in the chaos or engulfed in the fire. But continuing to run for my life, I didn't even care about the brothers who had been taking care of me, and I just wanted to run out as hard as I could. ”

"So you left them inside." I looked at the man and said. Although the man's behavior is not righteous, he is indeed instructed by the survival **, but I can't blame him too much.

The man covered his face: "I'm sorry. The man's voice was tinged with tears, "After we escaped, when we returned to L City, it was almost burned inside. It may be that the leaders of the factory thought that they did not block the secret exit from the basement, and when they arrived, we had already escaped. The exit leads to the city, so they can't do anything to us in the city, we are deadlocked, we want to go to the police, but there is no evidence, at most it can only be said that it is a fire. In the end, under their intimidation, we compromised their plan. They knew that we would not have the face to go home again, that I was the only one alive in the village, how could we explain to the families of our brothers and sisters who had died. Those brutes knew that it was easier for us to control when we were cornered, but they were afraid that we and futures would resist, so they scattered us in factories all over the country, ostensibly to give us appreciation and salary increases, but in fact they arranged us in positions that were more monitored and could not communicate with each other. ”

"But you're still taking revenge collectively."

Hu Gu nodded: "Because among the people who successfully escaped at that time were a few high-achieving university students, they designed a communication system that would not be easily discovered, and planned an explosion that seemed to have nothing in common at all for the initial test. Then we chose City C, the easiest place to find out the target of revenge, as a bait to attract the attention of the police, so that the police can send someone to investigate the Mulan Company after they are aware of it, of course, the Mulan Company is very cunning, they will not let people find out their handles. Therefore, the previous bombings are even more critical, and there will always be people who find out the connection between these bombings. After that, we can carry out the final plan of revenge. It took us a year to find their new manufacturing location. Some of us found the phone number of the main person in charge, and after listening to their calls, we found that they were still using the basement in L City, and then we decided to retaliate against them in a-for-tat way, but the power of the puppets was still not enough, so we had to continue to use more powerful bombs to let them go underground to atone for my brother. It should now

I suddenly realized the man's next move: "Can't let him keep his mouth shut." I yelled.

The guards on both sides immediately understood my words, and hurriedly opened Hu Gu's mouth, but it was too late, Hu Gu bit the poison hidden in his teeth, and he smiled weakly. One of the policemen, seeing this, immediately called an ambulance.

Hu Gu said 'I'm sorry' with his mouth at me.

"I'm the one who should say I'm sorry. Or maybe it's me who should say thank you. I picked up the mobile phone on the ground, and the screen showed that Ran was on the call, Hu Gu's eyes had begun to drift, but he seemed to understand something.

"I lied to you. I turned my watch forward by an hour, so it's not even nine o'clock now, and Li Jing didn't return to City B at all, we made two speculations before, because City B didn't have anyone who was transferred from City L at that time, and the security in City B was very strict, and it was impossible to bring a bomb in, so we made a bold guess that you would go back to City L and make a move. So I turned the watch up an hour faster, and I knew that you would show a different kind of excitement when the explosion was about to begin, so that I would put on a play in front of you, as if your plan had really succeeded, and let you let your guard down and tell the truth and the truth. And now. ”

I turned on the speakerphone, and Li Jing's voice came out of the phone: "We have arrived at the location of the factory before L City, the SWAT team has already found the basement again, and managers have also been arranged at various intersections in the city to increase the search." Tell Hu Gu that whether it is the explosion or the drug dealers who killed his brother in Huangquan, we will arrest and bring them to justice. ”

The ambulance horn sounded outside the building, and the paramedics carried Hu Gu out, who was unconscious, and I saw tears streaming down his eyes, and he seemed to be looking in my direction all the time, and his voice was muffled as if to say 'thank you'. (To be continued.) )
