Chapter 12 The Gentle Tide Rises and Falls

"...... Dezhu, come to my house....."

Ding Ding Ding –

Pressing the bell on three wheels to pull the goods from the street where the crowd came and went, splashing in the dirty water, Xia Yi's face turned pale, and he hung up the phone after saying a weak word, one hand quietly stretched out in his clothes, pressed the wound, scanned the surroundings left and right, walked back to the rental room quickly, opened the door without saying a word, closed it with his backhand after entering, and immediately secreted a layer of sweat beads on his face.

".......That man has a gun, is he one of those outside the chemical plant that day?" Xia Yi sat on the edge of the bed with his wound pressed against it, looking at the floor with a gloomy gaze.

Blood spilled down his fingers, staining the white short-sleeved T-shirt inside with a large patch of crimson, and his head buzzed, quickly analyzing it, trying to sort out the ins and outs.

"There's no way they're going to find me...... But today the man obviously stopped me, and that action couldn't be asking for directions, so what's the problem?"

He muttered and watched as the red fell to the ground one by one, blooming red petals, and sketched the figure of the gun-wielding man in his mind little by little, ordinary clothes, and the height of ordinary people, but the speed of pulling out the gun was obviously very professional, and the reaction was very fast, but it was too professional, so that he couldn't feel the direction.

The person Chang Wu found? No way, in terms of time, the other party is not so fast, and holding a gun is a big crime, and it is not something he can afford to resist at all. Marlene's woman, it's even more unlikely, neither time nor motive, there is no reason to use it to the point of shooting.

The police?

It wouldn't be, if it was the latter, he would be able to come to the door and arrest people directly, and Xia Yi would have no chance to leave at all.

I have combed through the people who have offended after being released from prison, and the people who may have offended, but after all, there are no clues, even the three gangsters who taught the lesson that day have been added, and those three people cannot have such determination and courage.

In the house, the alarm clock ticked and ticked, and the hour hand lasted until eleven o'clock.

There was the sound of a key turning a lock at the door.

Xia Yi raised his head and looked over, the obese Zhao Dezhu was looking in, and when he saw the pale brother, he hurriedly ran closer, and when he saw a pool of blood on the ground, he almost screamed, turned around and ran to the cabinet, and then went into the bathroom again, rummaging through the cabinets everywhere.

"Where's the medical kit?!"

"Where's the bandage and disinfectant?!" the fat man's voice came anxiously from inside.

Xia Yi's voice was hoarse: "I've run out of it..... help me go to the store and buy some back." ”

"Then you have to hold on....." The fat man hurriedly opened the door, and as soon as he walked out of the door, he turned around, "Otherwise, let's go to the hospital, don't save that money." ”

Xia Yi, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, just shook his head.

"I just had a flesh wound, I couldn't go to the hospital, and I would be fine if the bleeding stopped. ”

"Then you wait, I'll go. ”

Zhao Dezhu closed the door and ran downstairs, squeezed away the pedestrians who were in the way, heard the greeting of the girl in the grocery store, he answered a sentence while running, and then went to a pharmacy on the opposite side of the street to buy white medicine, gauze, and disinfectant, and ran back upstairs in a hurry.

The woman in the grocery store looked at the fat man who disappeared in the corridor with melon seeds, and spit out the melon seed shell: "What did this fat man do when he went to the pharmacy to buy such a thing?"

Xiao Yu's face behind the counter was tense.

"Auntie, could it be Brother Yi who is injured?"

"...... you still care about your dad. The woman snorted, and her tone was quite complaining: "I can't see anyone all day long, so I left you blind man to take care of me, and I slipped back in the middle of the night until the third watch, which provoked the old lady, slapped my ass and left, and let the father and daughter go by themselves." ”

Then, he threw away the melon seeds in his hand, turned around and walked into the store, and went to watch TV.

.......

Call.....

Whew......

The fat man who returned upstairs gasped heavily, opened the door, and hurriedly helped Xia Yi undress, revealing a finger-long wound, a bloody patch, his whole round face was frightened white, and his drugged hands were trembling.

"Old and ...... What are you doing, you have nothing to do with a knife to dig meat. ”

Zhao Dezhu's voice trembled a little and poured the disinfectant on it.

Hiss –

Fingers clutched the sheets, Xia Yi frowned, endured the hot pain caused by the disinfectant water, his cheeks were high and bulging and tightened, his eyes were almost bloodshot, and he still struggled to squeeze out the voice between his teeth: "...... As a sparring partner for the disciples in the hall, I was accidentally injured by the equipment, but fortunately, I also changed an application form, don't worry, I can bear it. ”

"If you want money, we have to die first......"

After applying the white medicine, the fat man was talking while wrapping the bandage, when there was a slight noise in the corridor outside the door on the other side.

Knock knock.

"Brother Yi, Brother Fat Tiger?" Xiao Yu's voice came in outside the door.

Xia Yi and the fat man glanced at each other, the latter got up and went over to open the door, coughed dryly, and said, "You can't see how to run up, and you're not afraid of knocking or touching." ”

Xiao Yu stood at the door and didn't come in, her nose naturally smelled the smell of disinfectant water, and her blank eyes swept over the room, with worry on her face.

"Just now my aunt said that you bought a lot of bandages....... so I came over to see if Brother Yi was injured?"

"Lao Yina accidentally fell on the ground and was scratched a little, but it was all skin trauma. Zhao Dezhu waved his hand again and again, thinking that the other party couldn't see it at all, so he put it down a little embarrassed.

"By the way, we're going to participate in that ...... soon. It's just that there are advertised competitions everywhere, and he even got the application form. ”

The fat man turned around and went in, took the list from Xia Yi's hand, and let Xiao Yu pinch it in his hand, the girl rubbed the paper with a faint ink fragrance, and looked confused: "What kind of competition?"

Then, she laughed anyway, showed two dimples, and returned the application form with both hands.

"I don't know what it is, but it feels amazing...... Since Brother Yi is fine, then ...... I'll go back first. ”

Xia Yi wanted to get up and go out to see her off, but he pulled the wound, so he had to sit back and tell the fat man next to the door: "Dezhu, please send Xiaoyu back, you don't have to come up, go on your own." ”

The door gradually closed, as if the world was divided in two, isolated.

After the girl was supported by the fat man back to the grocery store, she supported her chin, and occasionally raised her eyes that couldn't see anything to look at the residential building opposite, in fact, she knew what the fat man just said about the competition, and there was such a propaganda on the radio, but she didn't say it, because she didn't want to hit Xia Yi's confidence.

....... anyway, in her mind, Xia Yi's image should be that tall, thin, and very weak.

On the other side of the city, there are also people who imagine what the murderer looks like.

"The forehead of a person is not fragile, on the contrary, it is one of the strongest places in the human body, and the outline of the wound is obviously caused by a sharp weapon such as a knife, but to pierce a person's forehead with a knife, one's own strength is a necessary condition....... this person's physique is definitely larger than ordinary people. ”

“....... The scene of the murder is the closest to the Zhenxing Martial Arts Hall, and they are all people who practice martial arts, so I suggest pulling the net to investigate. ”

"The nearby urban villages are also mixed, and there is also a need to investigate suspicious people. ”

After the meeting that lasted for more than an hour, Fang Zhi and a group of policemen rushed out of the meeting in twos and threes, the heavy official duties made him a little breathless, standing behind the window at the corner of the corridor on the second floor, the red light of the setting sun was shining on this serious face, and for a moment, he took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of a person who didn't want to see him.

"Xiao Yi, what are you doing?"

"....... there was a murder on your side today, and the murderer is on the run, so you should pay more attention when you go out. ”

After a few words, he turned downstairs and left the police station, drove to a certain hospital, pushed open the door of a certain room, and under the dim light, a corpse covered with a white cloth lay quietly on the iron bed, next to it, was Dongfang Xu, who was sitting on the ground and smoking, surrounded by cigarette butts.

Fang Zhi walked over and waved his hand to refuse the cigarettes that were handed over.

"The meeting has been completed, and the police department will fully cooperate with your work. ”

The cigarette lit up with sparks, and Dongfang Xu took a hard breath, "Reinforcements from the Commuter Bureau will come over soon." He threw away the cigarette butt, got up and walked to the corpse covered with a white cloth, and said softly: "Lao Zhao, don't worry, I will catch the murderer, bring him over, and kowtow to you three times, so that you can walk on the Huangquan Road with your chest straight and your head up." ”

The setting sun swept in like a tidal wave.

Xia Yi sat on the balcony wearing a coat, watching the building opposite dyed red in the residual sun, and the noisy street market gradually deserted, he received a call from his brother-in-law Fang Zhi before, and the police had already begun to investigate, but fortunately he left no traces, and the place where he walked avoided the range of the camera, which should be safe.

Soon it was getting dark, and there was a soft knock on the door.

In the next second, an envelope was stuffed into the crack of the door, and I heard Xiao Yu's voice sounding outside: "...... want to go to the competition, always eat some good food, and keep your body strong..... this money is what I secretly saved on weekdays, and my father and aunt don't know it, so I should borrow it from you, and I have to pay it back." ”

Xia Yi walked over and opened the door, Xiao Yu's figure had already walked into the next room, he opened the envelope on the ground, there were only more than a thousand yuan in it, most of them were change, a thick stack.

There is also a small note inside, with a few crooked small words written: Brother Yi, come on!

In the blank space, an ugly smiling face was also drawn.

Closing the door, Xia Yi leaned against the door, looking at these small words and smiling faces, his originally gloomy expression suddenly opened and he laughed, and the previous gloom finally dissipated.

"This stupid chick ......"

He clutched the note for a moment, then his eyes fell on the race application form on the bed.

“...... Let the horses come. ”

Outside the window, the night wind whimpered and ran by, and the flood wave was about to rise.
