Chapter 17

"—don't move."

Just like the sesame seed in the story opened the door, the moment the spell landed, Jiang stopped all his movements.

Even his mind seemed to be frozen, and there was a brief blank for a moment.

- Immediately after, the entire row of railings overturned outward, and Yan Yu fell off the sixth floor!

“……!”

Everything happens in the same second, Applejack grabs the top of the railing while losing her center of gravity, slips, and climbs up; And Yan Yu couldn't see what was going on at all, so the whole person slipped out.

It is said that before a person dies, his subconscious mind will repeat all the important scenes in this life like a wandering eye, but at that moment, Yan Yu's brain was empty, there was nothing, and he didn't have time to think about anything.

Out of instinct, he grabbed desperately with both hands when he was weightless, and the tip of his right finger pressed the edge of the concrete floor of the roof, but he couldn't support the weight of his entire body at all; This grasp only made the fall pause slightly, and in that fleeting time, he grabbed the leaning railing with his right hand, sonorous!

The roof on the sixth floor, nearly 20 meters above the ground.

The hollow iron rod hit the concrete floor, bent into a dangerous arc, and hung Yan Yu, who was suspended with one hand, in mid-air.

Yan Yu's scream was stuck in his throat, and all the pores on his body were opened, and cold sweat poured out - at this moment, he finally knew that cold sweat was not just an adjective.

"What the ......"

All the feelings of dying and alive were condensed into these two short words, Yan Yu also groped with his other hand to grasp the iron rod, and was about to pull up to climb to the rooftop, when suddenly ten fingers crushed the severe pain, almost making him let go and fall-

Someone is trampling him to death!

That professional killer!

"I haven't seen you in a few years, how are you doing?"

Jiang froze in place, the muzzle of the gun gradually moving from the back of his head to the back of his ear, making a semicircle along the pinna, from the jawbone down his cheek, like a lover's finger tracing skin, against his temple.

The voice approached and whispered in his ear: "Are you afraid of death?" ”

Jiang Zhu's sideburns were soaked, and sweat pooled down his cheeks and chin to his chin.

And the demonic demagogy continued, asking, "Are you afraid that policeman will fall to death?" ”

Not far from the edge of the rooftop, Applejack stomped on Yan Yu's fingers on the soles of her shoes, then walked away a few steps and looked for a moment, bending down to pick up a sharp stone.

"He didn't have to die. If it weren't for you, the story would have started many years ago......"

Jiang stopped moving forward, but only heard the muzzle click, and the bullet was pushed into the load!

"I said you weren't allowed to move," the owner of the voice teased.

- At this time, a faint siren was sent in the distance of night, which gradually became clear in the wind, and reinforcements arrived!

“…… Then you shoot," Jiang Zhu said coldly, his chest rising and falling, exhaling a searing gas. He raised his finger inch by inch and grabbed the muzzle of the gun, and said word by word: "Shoot, don't be cowardly." ”

Then he pushed the muzzle of the gun away and rushed out!

The gunshots may or may not have gone off, but no one noticed in the moment of confusion. Applejack lifted the stone and smashed it down on Yan Yu's bloody fingers, and the next moment, the wind came behind him, and he was thrown out by Jiang Zhu!

At the normal level of a professional killer, he should not be touched by the people behind him at all. But Applejack didn't expect Jiang Zhu to pounce, and he was caught off guard for a moment, the two rolled and crashed into the corridor door a few steps away, the rusty lock couldn't stop such a big momentum, and with a bang, the iron door was bounced open, and Jiang Zhu rolled straight down the stairs by Applejack.

Yan Yu gritted his teeth and crawled back to the rooftop from outside the suspended sixth floor, rubbing his eyes desperately like crazy, while staggering up and chasing forward, just taking two steps and only listening - bang!

The bullet splattered a cloud of rubble and hit the ground right at his feet!

Yan Yu turned his head, and in the night, a figure stood a few meters away, holding a gun in his hand.

The muzzle of the gun was pointed precisely at him.

“……!” Applejack swears something in the middle of the roll, but she can't hear it at all. He was dragged down the stairs like a sandbag, and in a panic, he only had time to reach out against the back of Jiang Zhu's head, boom! With a loud bang, it slammed into the concrete wall around the corner.

Pieces of cement spilled down and scattered all over the ground.

The sirens are getting louder and louder, and the human ear is discernible as they are rapidly approaching. However, Jiang stopped hearing nothing, his ears seemed to be covered by deep water, his left elbow was tilted at an abnormal angle, and a few mouthfuls of blood foamed out of his throat.

In a trance, the ground was shaking, and someone was hurrying closer.

- Who is it?

Jiang stopped trying to see clearly, he tried his best to open his eyes, but all the scenes in the dim corridor shook violently in his vision. He shivered and gasped, his consciousness becoming more and more blurred, like an invisible giant hand engulfing his soul and falling into the abyss.

His hand slowly lowered, and finally he fell into the boundless darkness before he could see the comer.

……

In the midsummer evening, the sky is burning.

The little boy walks through the golden wilderness, the afterglow smeared on the tall mahogany doors of the theater. The ornate chandeliers are dim, the big red curtains are half-hanging, and the empty seats are cascading towards the end of the line; He carefully wrapped his tattered coat tightly and crouched behind the railing of the second-floor box, looking through the gap to the stage.

Behind the curtain is the silhouette of a fiddler, a boy of the same age as the voyeur.

I’veseentheworld,doneitwell

……

The fiddler's tuxedo and cowhide shoes gleamed in the lamplight, and he suddenly looked up at the second floor, accurately facing his little voyeur, and then smiled.

The melody swirls over the theater and fades away into the distance.

The little boy walked through the golden wilderness, and the ears of wheat fell back and on both sides like the sea parted by the rod of Moses. The wind whistled in his ears, and Chang Gengxing flashed a bright halo; His companion of the same age stood at the end of the cliff, stretching out his right arm in the wind, embracing his rushing body, and kissing him under the top print of his black hair.

The setting sun casts its afterglow from the touch of their figure, melting the cascading mountains into golden water.

"Say you will never betray me, and I will take you away."

"I will never betray you!"

The evening breeze swept away the vows, the twilight covered the sky, the dark clouds flowed rapidly, the golden red was gradually replaced by azure and blue, and the huge city lit up inch by inch at the end of the horizon.

WillyoustilllovemewhenI\'mnolongeryoungandbeautiful?

In the dream, Jiang stopped taller and grew older, and he opened his arms through the smoke of the explosion, allowing his body to fall freely to the earth.

WillyoustilllovemewhenIgotnothingbutmyachingsoul?

The figure on the cliff grew farther and farther away, more and more faint. Jiang Zhu saw him stretch out his hand in the direction of his fall, but the wind howling between heaven and earth blew through his fingers, and the background was a vast canopy illuminated by fire.

The melody is graceful and long, and the years are as short as a cloud of smoke. Jiang Zhu stared at him, raised the muzzle of the gun, and pulled the trigger on the rapidly shrinking figure above his head—

"Iknowyouwill—" He heard someone singing in the wind.

——YouwillstilllovemewhenI\'mnolongerbeautiful.

In the next moment, the bullet traveled back in time, piercing his own heart in blood!

"Ahem, ahem!"

"Wake up!" "Normal blood pressure, normal breathing." "Quick, notify the criminal investigation team!"

Jiang couldn't stop coughing, he was groggy, and when he wanted to get up, he was grabbed by someone. In the chaos, Yang Mei screamed: "Brother Jiang, how are you?" "Don't move, come on!" The sound cut through the noise and exploded clearly, until a pair of strong hands reached over and pressed Jiang Zhu back to the hospital bed.

"He's fine," Yan Yu said in a deep voice, "a little slight concussion, don't let him get up." ”

Jiang Zhu's mind tumbled in dreams and reality, his brain was torn in half, and while lying on the hospital bed, he fell from the high altitude to the cliff at the same time, and the severe high fall dizziness made him almost want to vomit, and he was immediately injected by the nurse.

The shot was quite effective, and the potion quickly pulled his confused soul back to reality. After a few minutes, as if his soul had finally fallen to the ground, Jiang Zhu suddenly exhaled this breath from his chest, and opened his eyes dimly.

“…… It's not too serious, but the patient's physical condition is too bad, pay attention to lying in bed for a few days......"

Jiang stopped moving his left hand, and it hurt so much that he was immediately held down by Yang Mei, so he had to turn around and pinch his eyebrows with his right hand, and barely squeezed out a sentence from his throat with pain: "Yan Yu? ”

Yang Mei didn't expect his first sentence to be this, and she immediately froze.

Yan Yu interrupted the doctor with a gesture, signaling that he understood, and then immediately came over and asked, "How are you?" ”

His eyes slowly focused, and Jiang Zhu saw clearly that he was lying in the ward, and it would be dark outside, and it might be the next day.

Yang Mei must have received a notice to come in the middle of the night, her eyes were slightly red at the moment, and she was obviously very worried, and several of her subordinates who were helping in her KTV were stopped outside the ward.

Yan Yu's eyes were urgently cleaned, and the ten fingers of his hands were wrapped in bandages, and the edges were faintly bloody.

"It's fine." As soon as Jiang Zhu spoke, he couldn't help coughing twice, nodded slightly to Yang Mei, and said hoarsely, "You go out first." ”

"But ......"

Jiang stopped by raising his hand to stop her.

Yang Mei was full of slander but didn't dare to say it, so she had to frown her willow eyebrows and glared at Yan Yu fiercely, and got up to say goodbye.

The doctor also left with the little nurse on duty, and with the click of the door, only the two of them were left in the ward.

Jiang Zhu's dislocated left arm had been connected and hung with a triangular bandage, and he leaned against the snow-white soft pillow at the head of the bed, the collar of the hospital gown was loose, because it was too wide, and the whole person seemed to be in good spirits, and very soft and thin.

Yan Yu asked, "Are you sure you won't sleep for a while?" ”

Jiang Zhu half-closed his eyes for a while and shook his head.

"Come on, if it weren't for you this time, I would have to confess there." Yan Yu pulled a chair and sat on the edge of the bed, with a little casual carelessness, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect your guess that the criminals tried to interfere with the focus of the police investigation turned out to be right, fortunately, we rushed to revisit Hu Weisheng's den and seized a large number of old drug-making tools, and now the city bureau is working overtime to interrogate the person surnamed Hu." Hey, you said that the two of us lived and died together, but I didn't expect ......"

Jiang stopped asking, "He ran away?" ”

Yan Yu's eyebrows jumped, and he noticed that Jiang Zhu's personal pronoun was - he.

Not them.

"It's not like I ran away." Yan Yu sighed and sighed: "It's me who underestimated the enemy, and I almost planted that grandson." After you knocked him down, I climbed up from the rooftop, only to find out that the suspect had an accomplice, and that man was still holding a gun, and a shuttle hit me at my feet, which was really dangerous. ”

Jiang Zhu was indeed sick, and his spirit was really poor, so he couldn't hide the subtle changes in his expression: "And then? ”

"And then it didn't matter, I confronted the accomplice for about half a minute, and reinforcements from the city bureau rushed to the scene with sirens. When the man heard the police car coming, he didn't fight, and took the gun and went into the corridor where you fell. ”

Yan Yu's tone did not change at all, and then he paused, and looked straight at Jiang Zhu:

"At that time, you were still confronting the killer in the corridor, and I was afraid that you would have something long and short, so I rushed in. The stairwell was dark, and I ran down a few steps and saw—"

Yan Yu deliberately narrated for a moment, and sure enough, Jiang Zhu immediately asked: "Are you ......?"

Then Yan Yu unexpectedly found that Jiang Zhu was not asking about this conversation, and he was not even interested in what was happening in the corridor at that time.

Jiang stopped asking, "Did you see his face?" ”
