Boom ——!

Waves of air rushed in the face with sparks, and debris burned and exploded in the explosion. The load-bearing wall could not hold on, and a new round of collapse came from far and near, and the remnants of the wall fell overhead like a torrential rain in the flames, isolating the flickering police lights and boiling voices in the distance:

"Command Center Request Reinforcements Request Reinforcements!"

"What about the Jiang team, what about the Jiang team?!"

"Oh no, Team Jiang rushed in! Hurry up and hurry up!! ……”

……

Purgatory turned into mottled and distorted patches of color, and the noise receded like a tide; The palms of the hands supporting the wall were burned, and the blood flowing from the ends of the five fingers was quickly evaporated by the flames. But he was in no pain, he could not hear anything, no matter how many times the same scene was repeated in his dreams, and the whole world only heard his own hot and hoarse gasp, and then he raised his gun to the figure of the devil who was gradually coming out of the fire—

Bang!

The figure is getting closer.

Bang!

Bang bang!

The bullet sank into the illusory shadow, as if through the air, silently into the fire.

As soon as he let go of his hand, the ninety-two fell in front of him, making an insignificant click in the sea of fire.

"I'm here," he heard a viper-like voice behind him, leaning lightly into his ear with a cold smile, and then a hand touched his cheek and said, "Jiang stop, I'm here." ”

For the thousandth and first time, he turned back from his dream, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see the backlight in the nightmare.

"Go to hell, with me." The figure smiled and said, "It's all over for you...... It's over forever. ”

He closed his eyes, and with the last shred of consciousness he heard the fire roaring and sirens approaching from afar. But the surging flames engulfed everything, the earth trembled and burned, and countless demonic claws stretched out, dragging him alive into the abyss that did not see the light of day......

·

Three years later, the city of Jianning.

Jiang Zhu opened his eyes.

The sunlight poured into the ward through the gauze curtains, the snow-white and clean walls reflected the halo, the bouquet of white roses in front of the bed still left the dew, exuding a faint fragrance, and the nurse's soft voice drifted in through the cracks in the hidden door:

"Bed 538 will be discharged today, you tell the director, and prepare to make a list for the family......"

"I've been in a coma for several years, and I can still wake up and be discharged from the hospital! It can be seen that people are really ......"

"Shh The head nurse whispered, "Do your job!" ”

The footsteps gradually walked away, and Jiang stopped not responding.

He remained in a newly awakened position, leaning back in the chaise longue in front of the window, his pupils deep with the indifference of the nightmares, reflecting the lush trees and the blue sky beyond.

After a few moments, the door to the ward was gently pushed open, and someone approached cautiously. Jiang Zhu didn't look back, and the person who came didn't stop until he was on his side, and said softly, "Brother Jiang." ”

Yang Mei had carefully permed and dyed curly hair, a black dress, red nails, a platinum bag, and a large envelope just brought out of the doctor's office under her arm. The formalities are all done, the car is downstairs, let's go. ”

Jiang Zhu was silent, and nodded after a moment.

This is a private sanatorium in Jianning with excellent conditions, even if it is just hanging equipment to maintain life, it costs a lot, not to mention that he woke up in good physical condition, and he has been taken care of quite carefully in the past few years.

But in any case, after three years of being unconscious, it is still physiologically difficult to return to normal immediately.

"Have you heard, that 538 bed who has been in a coma for three years is her fiancé!"

"It's a good end that a white rich beauty is so infatuated......"

"If you are young, you will also create evil, so you won't be able to stand up in the future, right?"

……

Yang Mei personally pushed the wheelchair into the elevator, and the door slowly closed, isolating the whispers in the air.

The elevator began to descend, and Jiang Zhu's expressionless face was reflected on the metal door, but Yang Mei behind him was a little sneering, and coughed: "When I was transferred to the hospital here, the nurse asked me to fill out the form, which asked about the relationship between the family, and I was also anxious and confused for a while......"

Jiang Zhu said: "If it weren't for you back then, I would have died." ”

"How can you say that? If it weren't for Brother Jiang, I wouldn't know where to go to prison now, and I'm all you-"

"But those people didn't give up on me." Jiang Zhu interrupted her, "I have difficulty moving, and my life is at risk, you be careful not to be dragged down by me." ”

Yang Mei wanted to say something, but when she saw the reflection on the elevator door, Jiang Zhu had already closed her eyes, so she had to hold back.

·

The lanterns have not yet fallen, and the neon lights of the KTV of the Nightless Palace have been lit up early. A big Ben Shula stopped at the back door, Yang Mei got out of the car and hurriedly opened the door of the back seat, and was just about to go with the driver to help, Jiang stopped raising his hand to stop her.

Jiang Zhu grabbed the car door, exerted force, let out an inconspicuous muffled snort, and slowly stood up after a while.

"Ouch, big brother, slow down!" The driver subconsciously stretched out his hand, but saw that Yang Mei was one step faster than him, so he grabbed the person first and walked towards the back door entrance of KTV.

Jiang Zhu has been awakened for less than a month now, and his daily walking is not good, Yang Mei is wearing high heels again, and the two of them swayed onto the sidewalk, Jiang Zhu said, "It's still open." ”

He was referring to this KTV, and Yang Mei said: "Well, you solved the contract dispute at the beginning." With this store open, you can know a little bit about the news of the three religions and nine streams, but it is safer - what are you looking at? ”

She looked along Jiang Zhu's line of sight, and not far from the deserted back door of the KTV, a young boy with a schoolbag was standing on the curb of the road, seemingly waiting for someone. As soon as the two eyes made contact, the boy quickly lowered his head and walked away in a hurry.

"It's fine." Jiang Zhu retracted his gaze, "Let's go in." ”

"The first and second floors are all private rooms, and the third floor is an office and dormitory, where I usually live. The conditions are average, you will settle for it first. Hey, Xiao Zhang! What are you doing in a daze, pour water for Brother Jiang! ”

The waiter was busy walking out, but was stopped by Jiang Zhu: "Busy you go." ”

The sound insulation of the dormitory is quite good, and the noise of the KTV downstairs can hardly be heard. Yang Mei has arranged it in advance, the window is facing the back alley, and the tables, chairs and beds are all furnished, just like a small hotel suite.

"It's not convenient to have a lot of people in the store, so I'll go buy a house and settle down in a few days, so I can have a place to hide. The gang in Gongzhou can't find me here, it's been a few years, they must think you're dead, and if there is no movement in another two years, I'll close the store, let's go away......"

Yang Mei chattered, and the slender figure walked around to pack up her things and close the curtains.

Jiang Zhu's gaze fell on the dressing mirror, the dim light reflected his face, and the eyelashes and the bridge of his nose cast extremely three-dimensional shadows, hiding the cold eye sockets and the corners of his lips in the darkness.

Yang Mei said: "China is so big, if you go to Guangxi and Yunnan, you can't find ghosts...... Hey Brother Jiang, I'll put you here for your toiletries. ”

As soon as she turned around, she saw Jiang stop sitting under the lamp, the light and shadow outlined the straight lines of her body, her slender ten fingers crossed, and her fingertips glowed with subtle light.

No matter how beautiful the face given by God is, it can't survive the disease, and the tragic car accident and three years of unconsciousness are enough to transform the beautiful skin. But at that moment, Yang Mei looked at Jiang Zhu under the table lamp, but felt that he hadn't changed much, and some of the soul-stirring things that flowed out of his bones were no different from when they first met a few years ago.

Yang Mei didn't dare to disturb him loudly. After a long time, Jiang stopped and said in a deep voice: "After a while, I will be able to move easily, so I will go back to Gongzhou, and you can pack up your things and go back to your hometown to avoid the limelight." ”

"-What?" Yang Mei was very unexpected: "No, Brother Jiang, those people are doing things to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, if they find out that you are not dead, they will definitely come to kill you!" And it's not just them, it's the man, the more terrible-"

Yang Mei's voice stopped as if she was choked.

There was an even more terrifying being, and the fact that she didn't even need to mention her name made her so frightened that she couldn't speak.

"I know," Mr. Jiang said, "but when the plastic factory exploded, the people in my team were inside, and the lead sounded and filled more than a dozen lives." I'll have to give them an account. ”

Yang Mei choked, and Jiang stopped waving her hand, which meant that she didn't need to say more.

"Prepare me a set of identity documents, mobile phone and computer, and buy a few more non-real-name mobile phone cards. Go ahead. ”

Yang Mei slumped for a moment, let out a long sigh, turned around and went out.

·

At this time, the KTV has already begun to open, the lanterns decorated in the corridor of the box are changing, the music with a strong sense of rhythm comes from the hall, and young people dressed in trendy clothes pass by in groups. Yang Mei instructed Jiang Zhu's words to the assistant, explained that she should do it carefully immediately, and then went downstairs absentmindedly to inspect around.

She came out of the crystal elevator and turned a corner, and suddenly the door of a box in front of her opened, and a tall man strode out with a ghost crying wolf howling "love when you die", and went straight to the wine bar, and slammed the glass in front of the bartender with the momentum of Changhong:

"What are you selling here?!"

Yang Mei couldn't help but pause, only to see the bartender look at it for a moment: "Long Island Iced Tea, dear." ”

"Try it yourself, does this iced tea have a bit of alcohol?"

"There is no wine smell, our family sells iced tea."

"No, aren't you consumer fraud?"

The bartender immediately turned his face and said confidently: "I don't like to listen to handsome guys when you say this." Its name is Long Island Iced Tea, which is blended with fresh black tea and lemon, and it is clearly a high-quality and excellent iced tea, how can it be called fraud? ”

The three views of the "......" man were obviously subverted, and he said with a sigh of surprise: "Then I'll order a Bloody Mary, and you will cut your wrists and sprinkle a scoop of black dog blood into it for me now?" ”

Yang Mei: "......"

This person is about thirty years old, his face is really good, and even the changing color light like a KTV dyeing workshop has not been able to drown out his profound and upright facial features. The hair was stunned uncomfortably, pulling the height of more than 1.8 meters to 1.9 meters, the T-shirt under the leather jacket stretched out the thin and lean lines, and even the side of the neck showed a clear muscle outline when he turned his head to speak.

Bartender: "Oh, you're laughing handsome, Bloody Mary, don't worry, I'll cut you a tomato first!" ”

Syllable!

The bartender was stunned for a moment, only to see the handsome guy pull out a Swiss Army knife from the waistband of his pants and slam it on the bar, and said coldly: "Do you come by yourself, or will I help you?" ”

Yang Mei's eyebrows jumped suddenly. She had been on the road for a long time, and at a glance she could see a little bit of gangsterism between the man's handsome and unruly eyebrows.

"You, you," the bartender muttered, and hurriedly ducked back, "How do you say you talk!" ……”

"I'm sorry for this handsome guy." Yang Mei strode forward and said with a loud smile: "I am the owner here, and for safety reasons, the small shop does not sell blended wine with an alcohol content of more than 40, so I made Changdao Iced Tea into Iced Tea." If you want to order a cocktail, would you like us to remake it for you? Xiao Liu! ”

The bartender, who had the name tag on his chest written in English and Chinese, said "Agaza Don Francisco Tony" immediately called out in a soft voice.

"Adjust the beach sunset for the handsome guy," Yang Mei smiled at the man: "I'm invited." ”

The man looked her up and down, then slowly put away the folding knife and snorted: "It's quite conscious to standardize the operation." ”

Yang Mei laughed and said: "It's easy to say, but our waiter didn't make it clear." You see, Long Island Iced Tea is written on the list of 'non-alcoholic beverages', and I'm sorry to misunderstand. ”

However, it was okay that she didn't explain, and as soon as she explained, the man's three views were subverted again: "-Misunderstanding? He pointed to the wine glass and said incredulously: "You sell two hundred and eight of this Kang|Master Ice Tea, and I'm embarrassed to say that I have a misunderstanding, when I'm blind or when I'm stupid?" ”

Yang Mei: "......"

The handsome guy turned around and went back to the box, obviously calling a friend to come out to comment. Yang Mei was about to catch up, but suddenly a chef stumbled in the direction of the back kitchen, and pulled her like a life-saving straw: "Yang, Sister Yang is not good!" Kitchen, kitchen freezer ......"

As soon as Yang Mei lowered her head, the chef's pale face was half blue and half blue under the lighting, and her whole body trembled as if she was convulsed:

"A thief got into the freezer, and it was freezing and freezing, as if it were freezing to death!"

·

Yang Mei stood in front of the open large freezer, unable to pronounce a single syllable.

The hustle and bustle of the nightclub seems to be far away, and there is a dead silence in the huge back kitchen. The back door of the kitchen, which connected to the garbage bin in the alley, was ajar, and the wind blew through the hall like the breath of a dead man blowing into the ears of a living person.

The little helpers, waiters, and bartenders hid behind, so quiet that they could hear each other's legs trembling. In the middle of the night, the bartender was about to cry and whispered, "Die, die...... Dead? ”

A boy in his twenties fell to the ground on his back, his face was bruised, his eyes were open, his mouth and nose were bleeding, his naked upper body was covered with frost, and he still maintained the posture of his two arms slightly open before he died.

"......" Yang Mei's chest continued to rise and fall, and she slowly squatted down for a long time, trembling her hands to probe her nose.

Suddenly, her hand was held down.

"Ahh Yang Mei's whole person jumped up in shock, and when she turned her head to look, she saw that it was Jiang Zhu: "Brother Jiang Jiang!" ”

Jiang stopped without saying a word, and motioned for her to go behind. Yang Mei staggered back half a step, only to see him half-kneeling, took out the latex gloves in the back kitchen and put them on, first probed the boy's neck, then rolled his eyelids, groaned for a moment, and shook his head.

The little waiter fell to his knees.

Yang Mei almost weakened her knees, but she had seen a big battle, so she finally stabilized: "This, what's the going on?" Which thief with no eyes was chased and hid in the refrigerator, or who killed him and threw him into our freezer with smoke? Isn't the back door of the kitchen closed today, manager?! Give me Lao Zhao-"

Jiang stopped her, "Call the police." ”

Yang Mei was immediately choked by the neck: "Brother Jiang, this ...... It's not appropriate. ”

During the three years that Jiang was in a coma, she tried to minimize her dealings with the police, and she didn't even dare to drive over the speed limit, let alone leave any records in the public security system. But Jiang stopped standing up against the wall, took a breath, and raised his chin at the corpse:

"There are no signs of blows on the head, front and back of the heart, no smell of alcohol, no external injuries. The upper body nipples and heads are contracted, with obvious erythema and purple-red swelling, which is frostbite formed before death, and forms a clear dividing line with the waistband of the trousers. He was either beaten to death and thrown here, or he froze to death in the freezer. ”

The little waitress and bartender Tony hugged each other tightly and shivered, Yang Mei's eyes were straight and her mind was confused.

Jiang Zhu sighed: "Call the police." ”

The metropolis with a population of more than 10 million people is constantly bustling with traffic. Rows of high-rise buildings and huge advertising screens intertwine with each other, lighting up the bustling city at night.

At the end of the street, at the main entrance of the Public Security Bureau of Fuyang District, Jianning City, several cars flashing red and blue police lights rushed onto the main road, instantly merging into the traffic that returned late.

"Brother Yan, you are talking nonsense to them, go directly to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to say hello. This is especially Master Kang's iced tea, and it will be a Lipton to death, and the brothers have never drunk a thousand or eight hundred bottles since they were children, can they still not recognize it......"

The lights in the box were dim and roaring, seven or eight young people were spraying a microphone shoulder to shoulder, Ma Xiang was lying in Yan Yu's ear and shouting, and was suddenly interrupted by the mobile phone ring.

As soon as Yan Yu looked at the caller ID, he immediately stopped him, picked it up and said, "Hey, Wei Bureau?" ”

The word Wei Ju is like a magic spell, just don't hear it, Ma Xiang was stunned when he landed on the side, and he saw Yan Yu sticking to his mobile phone "Uh-huh" twice, and as expected, his expression sank:

"The Fuyang branch is already on the way? Well, okay, okay...... Got it, I'll take someone to see it. ”

"Love when you're dead—not dripping and not happy—"

Sonor! Sonorous ——!

The music stopped abruptly with the colorful light, and the young people who were dancing like demons suddenly stopped their voices and stared at the past with wide eyes.

Yan Yu turned on the light with a snap, casually threw away the beer bottle he used to knock on the table just now, and said in a deep voice: "There is news from the command center that the masses reported that someone died near Fuyang Road, and the cars of the police station and sub-bureau in the jurisdiction are already on the road, and the Wei Bureau asked us to go to the scene to have a look." ”

Everyone immediately mourned: "No, Deputy Yan!" "What about giving us half a day off after the case is done?" "Where is the scene? Ouch, our car is still parked in the city bureau......"

"You don't need a car," Yan Yu said slowly, "in the back kitchen of this KTV, the informant is the boss here." ”

Everyone: ".................."

Yan Yu turned around and pushed the door open, sighing: "Let's go, you guys - this is the fastest scene ever produced by the city bureau." Hey waiter! Come here, where are you going in the back kitchen? ”

The door of the back kitchen was closed, and the unknown chef and waiter were locked outside the door, and then forcibly evacuated. Yan Yu ignored the surrounding discussions, strode forward and slammed the door: "Open the door!" The police! ”

The door squeaked open, Yang Mei raised her head, and when her eyes touched Yan Yu's handsome face, she instantly petrified, and said tremblingly: "You, you ......"

"What are you, iced black tea sells for two hundred and eight, and you have run into a ghost when you open a black shop." Yan Yu took out his documents from the inner pocket of his jacket and lit them up, and the words of the public security almost blinded everyone's 24K titanium alloy dog eyes: "Yan Yu of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, get out of the way and block the scene, give me two shoe covers, where is the body?" ”
