Chapter 178: The Man Who Wants to Be
"Let him be alone. ”
Wang Yanyan was about to go out, but Bai Liuyi suddenly said.
Wang couldn't help but glance at her, and after thinking for a few seconds, he nodded, and there were a few strands of loneliness on his fat face.
......
The city was plunged into a muddy swamp by a heavy rain, and a thick curtain of rain covered the sleeping and peaceful houses with a transparent robe.
Han's black coat was full of rain and mist, and his eyes soon became difficult to see clearly because the rain curtain was opened, so he could only lower his head and let the rain pour down the back of his neck and into his back, without blocking his vision.
The coldness of the rainstorm made his body feel different kind of heaviness and coldness, but he liked the ruthlessness of the blow on his body, because it made him feel as if he had been washed again.
Some people in the alley woke up to collect their clothes, and some "women" shouted for their husbands to quickly collect the dried radishes hanging on the top floor, and the advertisements posted on the walls and the list of this year's college entrance examination were washed away by the rain and floated on the ground. Han continued to step through the muddy road with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and braved the heavy rain to come to the familiar ruins of the eight-story building.
The originally flat land turned into a deep pit five or six meters deep, and a large area was a dark ruin, and the heavy rain rushed into this ruined place, and there was a loach-like stream of water from the road surface against the pit wall into the pit, and the clean rain poured the black rubble into the coal, leaving a pool of water at the bottom of the pothole.
One by one, the obese toads crawled out of their holes and ran to the deserted and wet road, quietly enjoying the nourishment of this barbarism.
Standing on the edge of the giant pit, Han continued to hold the golden "colored" card firmly in the palm of his hand.
He seemed to see the light and shadow of his life here for so many years, and the rain on his eyelashes kept falling as he trembled and blinked, as if he remembered the things that had passed, and the tears left by the disillusionment of time appeared.
Only when the curfew is ten points does he dare to really appear here, and in the rainstorm, he is really like a mouse, **, gray.
The rain flowed into his mouth, the cold taste, like the taste that this world had given him for so many years, and Han continued to raise his head deeply, letting the torrential rain wash over his face.
Ten years is like a dream, ten years, turning into nothing.
Just as he was completely still, quietly accepting the rainstorm and letting go of it, there was a sudden sound of wet footsteps behind him, and Han Xu suddenly turned around vigilantly, and a two-star Xuanka was suspended in his hand.
The rain dripped from the card, and Han Xu's eyes narrowed, but he didn't make a move.
"So you're such a sensitive. Zhang Liu was wearing a big raincoat and threw the umbrella in his hand to Han Xu, and there was no sharpness on his body, but solemnity, "I have something to talk to you about." ”
......
In a unfinished building in the Xuming slum area, which was originally designed to be built with ten floors but only progressed to the eighth floor, the low-ranking people who originally lived in it were evacuated because of the imminent demolition, and only some low-ranking people at the bottom still ventured to live, and at this time they were all asleep in the pleasant sound of the rain, and they didn't have to think about the heavy work and the same heavy life the next day, but everything was like a plantain beaten by the rain outside, and it was good to rise and fall in a dream.
The two climbed to the seventh floor of the unfinished building.
Standing on the edge and looking at the slums washed by the torrential rain, a large scorched black area on the east and west sides, poked a hole in the hearts of both of them that only they could experience.
Han Xu brushed his hair back, frowned and looked at Zhang Liu, not letting his guard down.
He and this genius police inspector had a total of three head-on collisions, one was the killing of black poles and white flags, one was a chance encounter during the battle of the three peaks, and one was the siege not long ago, and the rest of the cases were even more numerous. In the eyes of the world, Zhang Liu should be his biggest opponent, after all, the relationship between police and bandits is the relationship between cats and mice. However, Zhang Liu let himself go last time, and this time he met with him, obviously not using that police identity.
And I haven't seen him for a few days, I don't know if he has experienced any major changes, he seems to have aged a lot, and for some reason in his eyes, he has lost the previous fierceness and pride.
Zhang Liu took off the drenched raincoat from his body, even if he was covered by this shirt, his whole body was still wet, and a pair of leather shoes were full of rain.
"Recently, Wanyu City has been very 'chaotic', much more 'chaotic' than before. Zhang Liu folded the raincoat, then took off his shoes and socks, put them aside and said, "Although the Tianhuo Society did not make it clear that they were attacking the World Exterminator, I can guess, I think most people can guess it." ”
Han Xu kicked a cement ball down, "Then how do you know I'm still alive?"
The torrential rain had muffled their voices and added to the cold smell, and their tones were slow and deep, clearly not in a relaxed mood. Han Xu understood his reasons, but he didn't understand why Zhang Liu was.
"The Skyfire Society is still secretly looking for you, there are many corpses of members of the Skyfire Society on the streets that have been burned, but the bodies of some people cannot be found, and the fact that you are still alive is not as high as a fool can guess for me, a policeman. ”
"How did you know I was here?"
Zhang Liu gently turned his blistered white feet into the ash on the ground, and became dry again, he smiled and said slowly, "I guess." ”
A guess made Han Xu think a lot of things, he squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Liu vigilantly, and said slowly: "You can guess to this extent, I must also know that the person who died there means a lot to me, then you should know more than a ......little bit about this matter."
"You gave our information to the Skyfire Society?"
Han Xu's body turned slightly, and the cold voice was like a sword stabbing at him.
The rainwater from the concrete ceiling on the roof crackled against a piece of plywood.
Zhang Liu smiled bitterly and said, "To be able to think of this step so quickly, it seems that your mind has not become stupid because of this accident." Nothing to do with me, though. ”
Han Xu didn't retract the fireball card that popped up in his hand at this moment, but the edge in his eyes slowly converged in the appearance of Zhang Liu's last sentence. Not to mention that with what he knew about his "sexuality", assuming that Zhang Liu really betrayed his information to the people of the Tianhuo Society, then there was no need for him to see himself. So Han Xu himself actually doesn't believe in the fact that he speculates.
"Hu Dou, Hu Dou is a member of the Heavenly Fire Society. ”
"Hu Dou?"
Han Xu narrowed his eyes, he could recall the appearance of this policeman, in Han Xu's memory, Hu Dou still had a police position in the police station, and he had a great relationship with Zhang Liu.
Han Xu didn't dare to imagine that such an organization could still arrange people to serve in the police station.
"You must be thinking that Skyfire would be too terrifying to be able to do this. Zhang Liu looked at the rain outside, and the big locust tree in front of him looked like leaves like a little girl who was wet by the rain, "In fact, the heavenly fire will be even more terrifying than this." ”
Han Xu followed his gaze to look at the dark night rendered by the torrential rain outside, as the lights disappeared, there was endless darkness in the distance, only the shadow of the tall protective wall, the feeling of being swallowed up, with Zhang Liu's words, Han Xu's heart couldn't help but feel empty.
Han Xu knows more than Zhang Liu in his judgment, but Han Xu still has a sense of unease about the conversation in their relationship at the moment, and he is always on both sides of the opposite side, so what does he mean by telling himself?
"What do you mean by telling me?"
Zhang Liu put his hand in his trouser pocket, 'touched' the lighter and the wet cigarette, and lit it several times, he said in a long voice: "Han Xu, others don't know what I think, you have calculated my mind so many times, and used the 'justice' card to attack my heart, and I will let you go if you calculate it again last time...... You're still pretending to know nothing?"
He "touched" the "justice" card that Han Xu threw to him during the night chase battle from his arms and threw it back to Han Xu.
Han continued to take the card. Although the card is "damp" and wet, there is still a warmth from the body temperature.
The Inspector is one of the greatest opponents of the World Destroyer, and after every crime, the Inspector will come to deal with them and engage in a battle of wits. Knowing that the other side can win a hundred battles, when Zhang Liu came to Wanyu City, Wang Yanyan tried hard to check his background, knowing that he seemed to be a person who was jealous and hateful to the extreme, and with several fights, Han Xu could also feel that he seemed to have an opinion about the Lord of World Destroyer that the rest of the people did not have, so he would have the heart of this "justice" card.
However, in fact, they are not very clear about what the past of this police inspector is, and if they do, they will not use it as a lever to blackmail this police inspector, then when they committed crimes before, it will undoubtedly be much easier.
Zhang Liu spat out a cigarette, took a deep breath, and told about his little-known past, and said: "Before I came to Diling Province, I was a policeman in Donghang Province.
A noble child with royal blood and a group of family members drunk on the street *** a girl, I know the girl, so I came to deal with this case, but this case ended up because of their background, in fact, it could not be filed, and I even almost lost my position because of my attachment to this case. Unable to punish the wicked, the girl suffered from depression, and after that, the girl committed suicide. ”
He exhaled the cigarette for a long time, his voice trembling slightly, and the ash shook off a drop, "Then, that girl, that's my girlfriend." ”
Han Xu looked at him in surprise, unable to imagine that he actually had such an experience, and he would actually tell himself such a thing. Han Xu's fierce gaze couldn't help but soften, he thought of Liu Qianwen, thought of Liu Qianwen's smile at his pear blossom rain at the last moment, sympathy flooded out of his heart, and he listened to him silently.
The torrential rain knocked old memories out of the ground, and the pain of sludge and earthworms beneath the surface.
"We were supposed to get married in two months, but ......
I've fantasized countless times that I can pick up a knife and kill those people, really, especially thinking, I've dreamed countless times that my hands are full of blood, and I've chopped those bastards to pieces, and I've broken those beasts into pieces...... However, I can't do it, they are the children of the nobility and I can't get close to them, in fact, I don't have the courage to pick up a gun and point it at these noble children, I don't have the courage to kill them all in this way. It's funny, because in the end, what I'm afraid of is killing myself, I'm afraid that I'm ruining my life because of my hands, I'm afraid that they have a huge background and I'm not an opponent at all, I'm afraid, I'm afraid too much. ”
He laughed self-deprecatingly, took another deep puff of his cigarette, and spat out all the pain and blame again.
For those who think that they are middle-level or even high-level, they may not have to pay any price at all for hurting a low-level citizen, but if they hurt the children of nobles, the price they need to pay will be something that they are unwilling to face in a thousand reincarnations. It is not that Han Xu is unable to understand his fear, which is an instinct created by the class relations of this world, and it is also the reality itself.
"I slowly realized that my dream was no longer their blood, but Xiaowen's blood, and I had her blood all over my hands, it was me, it was I who killed her.
It was my cowardice that killed her, and it was I who was afraid that everything I would ruin so much that I didn't dare to avenge her. The law can't do justice to her, but I can, if I had ended up with those bastards before she took her own life, just like you, and did justice to her in the way you did, she might not have died. But...... Nothing makes sense anymore. ”
Ben Lei rolled over, and his voice slowed down, "Their family is worried that this matter will become a stain, so they secretly sent those noble children to other places to start a new life, I can't take revenge in my life, in fact, I have also thought countless times, maybe now that they appear in front of me, I may not have the courage to take revenge." ”
Zhang Liu looked at his hands, his hands were full of blood, and Xiaowen's broken face was the most moving in his heart.
"My boss is a good man, he transferred me to the Diling Province to keep me away from the source of pain, I started to work like crazy, I swore that all the wicked people will be judged, so after I came to Wanyu City, I have been longing to destroy the Heavenly Fire Society, and I have been eager to wash this hell city clean, and you ......"
He paused and looked at Han Xu, "When I saw you, I thought of myself in my dream. You said, if I were you at that time, how good it would be, Xiaowen would not have died, and she could enjoy her happiness happily now.
Like you said, you did what I wanted to do but didn't dare to do, and you were the people I longed for but couldn't be. ”
In the midst of Han Xu's gaze, he looked up at the dark sky filled with dense rain lines, and said in a deep voice: "How much courage and strength does it take to become a person like you? ”
Only then did Han Xu fully understand why he was different from the rest of the police, and why he would be willing to let him go. Although he had some speculations before, but it was just speculation, but he didn't expect the truth to be so ironic and bloody, and Han Xu could also guess that more details hidden in his simple words must have made him suffer more torture and transformation.
When cowardice and incompetence come together, it becomes a source of sustenance.
"So you're seeing me today to help me?"
Zhang Liu curled the corners of his mouth and bowed his head.
"Sect Leader of the Heavenly Fire Society, can you guess who it is?" Zhang turned his head to look at Han Xu.
Han continued: "Since the police are related, it is not impossible to guess that it is someone from the federal 'government'. ”
Zhang Liu nodded, let himself come out of his emotions, and said, "I have carefully checked these days, and I can confirm that the Tianhuo Sect Master is the Governor of Wanyu City.
In fact, it can also be said that the sect leader of the Heavenly Fire Society is the entire Diling Province, and he is the one of the entire seven royal families - Wang Liu. ”
Han Xu's eyes widened, and he suddenly turned his head to look at him in disbelief.
The figures of the two suddenly seemed to be submerged in the torrential rain, and the mud and rolling turbidity waves made them like fish and shrimp, and they could not recover.
