Life is like a cloth made of silk threads of good and evil, our good deeds must be scourged by our faults, and our sins depend on our good deeds to cover them. Shakespeare

On the evening of April 14th, the sky was drizzling, and in a cemetery in the west of the city, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, holding a black umbrella in one hand and a bunch of white chrysanthemums in the other, walked in front of many tombstones.

Because it was evening, and it was raining, no one came to the cemetery to commemorate the deceased relatives, and the man walked and shuttled among them, which was particularly abrupt and eye-catching, of course, no one was paying tribute here, and naturally no one would notice the existence of the man, as for the old man who was in charge of taking care of the cemetery, he was in his small room at the moment, comfortably nesting on the sofa, watching TV series, drinking wine, and he didn't care much about the appearance of men.

The sky is getting darker and darker, the light is getting darker and darker, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, the man holds flowers in his hand, and after shuttling in front of the many tombstones, he stops in front of a tombstone that looks ordinary, but is very clean, the man stands in front of the tombstone, slowly squats down, puts the flowers in his hand in front of the tombstone, and then, raising his head, looking at the photos and names on the tombstone, looking peaceful.

On the tombstone is a photo of a man who looks like he is in the prime of life, and under the photo, is the man's name, Zhou Guangji, and the man squatting in front of the tombstone is none other than Shen Kaiwen, who the police are looking for.

"Dad, the real murderer who killed you is dead, and that old bastard is unconscious now, maybe he won't wake up in this life, you can rest in peace."

Shen Kaiwen stretched out a hand, gently stroked the cold tombstone, and muttered to himself, he seemed to be saying it to Zhou Guangji, and as if he was talking to himself.

Shen Kaiwen's voice was not loud, it seemed insignificant in the silent cemetery, and as soon as his voice came out, he was swept away by the ubiquitous wind and disappeared into the air, as if Shen Kaiwen did not speak.

The raindrops slapped on the cold tombstone, converging into a drop of water along the tombstone, and then converging into a stream of water, slowly flowing down along the uneven tombstone, Shen Kaiwen's fingers were soon wet by the rain, but he didn't care at all, and took the trouble to wipe the tombstone over and over again.

"Since you left, Xiaoru has not had a good time over the years, she often has nightmares, often crying alone, I have persuaded her many times, she still can't get out, I have sent her abroad, maybe, leaving this city, her mood will be better, originally, after you left the company, seeing your sullen appearance, I also discussed with Xiaoru, ready to have a child, let you help take the child, enjoy the joy of family, but"

When Shen Kaiwen said this, his eyes were slightly red, his voice was a little choked and hoarse, and he didn't say the rest of the words.

After Shen Kaiwen was silent for a while, he continued, "Over the years, we have also made a lot of money, I have deposited all the money in Xiaoru's name, and now, I don't have a penny of property in my name, I'm sorry Dad, I may not be able to continue to take care of Xiaoru instead of you, but this money should be enough for her to live for the rest of her life." ”

"Smack"

Shen Kaiwen took out a box of cigarettes from his jacket pocket, took out one, lit it, and after inhaling it hard, he spit out a faint smoke, and after hesitating, he looked at the photo of Zhou Guangji on the tombstone and said, "Dad, tell you one thing, Xiaoru and I are going to divorce, Xiaoru should receive the divorce agreement soon, but"

Shen Kaiwen paused and continued, "However, by the time Xiaoru receives the divorce agreement, I will be gone, I hope she can take care of herself, Dad, don't blame me, in the future, only Xiaoru will come to see you." ”

No one answered Shen Kaiwen's question, only the sound of the fine raindrops hitting the ground, and the sound of the wind roaring, and Zhou Guangji, who had turned into a box of ashes, it was impossible for Natural Moon to answer Shen Kaiwen's question.

After smoking a cigarette, Shen Kaiwen threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground, then put the remaining box of cigarettes in front of the tombstone and slowly stood up.

After standing up, Shen Kaiwen looked at the tombstone and said slowly, "Dad, I want to do one thing, a very important thing, your grievances have been washed away, but I still owe someone a promise, a promise that was ten years late, and now it's time to fulfill it." ”

After saying this, Shen Kaiwen took a deep look at Zhou Guangji's tombstone, turned around and strode away.

Whether it is Shen Kaiwen's arrival or his departure, it seems that it has not brought any impact on this cemetery, nor has it brought any changes, except for the white chrysanthemums that are gradually broken by the rain, and the box of cigarettes quietly placed in front of the tombstone, there is no change here.

When Shen Kaiwen walked out of the cemetery, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, and this cemetery, under the cover of night, looked particularly gloomy and terrifying, Shen Kaiwen held an umbrella and walked in the rain, and soon, his figure was shrouded in darkness until it completely disappeared.

On the road outside the cemetery, a private car was parked, Shen Kaiwen sat in the driver's seat, leaning on the seat with a tired expression, he closed his eyes, and was not in a hurry to start the car.

Shen Kaiwen doesn't know whether what he did was right or not, if he looked at it as a lawyer, it was wrong, it was illegal, and it was also a crime, but as a son-in-law and father-in-law

In terms of the identity of the husband, he did the right thing to do, in the face of the law and family affection, he finally chose the latter, in fact, Shen Kaiwen didn't feel that he did this, so he was sorry for the law he studied.

"Jingle Bell"

I don't know how long it took, but the mobile phone in Shen Kaiwen's pocket rang.

Shen Kaiwen opened his eyes, took out his mobile phone, only glanced at it, and connected the phone, although the caller number was an unfamiliar number, but he knew who called.

After the phone was connected, Shen Kaiwen did not speak, but waited for the other party to speak.

"Are you ready?"

On the other end of the line, a woman's voice rang.

"No preparation required." Shen Kaiwen was silent for a while, and said casually.

"You seem tired," the woman asked.

"We're all tired, aren't we?"

“”

After a few seconds of silence, the woman said, "You're scared."

"Nope."

Shen Kaiwen replied neatly and neatly, without the slightest thought.

"Then why haven't you acted yet," the woman asked.

"I'll do it."

There was another silence.

"Are you really sure about doing this" The woman didn't know if she was speechless, or wanted to confirm Shen Kaiwen's final decision, so she asked.

"Is there anything else?"

Shen Kaiwen did not answer this question, but asked rhetorically.

"Nope."

"It's okay to hang up."

"Okay, I'm waiting for your news."

"Hmm"

When Shen Kaiwen put down the phone, he suddenly remembered something, put the phone to his ear again, just wanted to say something, thought about it, or swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

"What's wrong?" the woman asked.

"Nothing."

After speaking, Shen Kaiwen hung up the phone, and then, opened the car window, threw the phone out of the window, and the rain poured in from the open window in an instant under the strong wind, and in an instant, it wet Shen Kaiwen's hair.

After Shen Kaiwen threw out his mobile phone, he directly started the car and drove towards the city center.

As the car started, black tires ran over the brand-new phone, and when the car left, all that was left was a pile of broken parts, lying alone on the cold, damp ground, silent.

In Xu Lang's office, Xu Lang sat on the office chair with a gloomy face, he locked it every day, holding a cigarette in his hand, but chewing gum in his mouth, the cigarette was not lit, but he pinched it in his hand, the fragile cigarette shuttled back and forth between Xu Lang's five fingers, and people were dazzled when they watched.

Opposite Xu Lang, there were Ding Haoqiong and Du Ziqiao, and their faces were also very ugly.

Four days have passed since Xu Lang asked them to search for Shen Kaiwen and others in the whole city, but the result of the search was nothing, and the investigation of the case has completely reached a deadlock.

Shen Kaiwen and the others seemed to have evaporated from the world, no matter how the police searched, they couldn't find the slightest trace, it seemed that there had never been Shen Kaiwen and a few of them in this world.

Just now, Tian Yongchun called to inquire about the progress of the investigation of the case, and after Xu Lang finished talking about the specific situation, Tian Yongchun was silent for a long time and didn't say anything, just asked Xu Lang and them to hurry up and solve the case.

Although Tian Yongchun didn't say anything to blame, Xu Lang still heard deep exhaustion and pressure from his tone.

Since Sun Qihang was killed to Tan Yanxue's accident, as well as Sun Shihao's encounter, those pervasive media reporters, I don't know where to get the news, began to report it hype, now, there is a lot of discussion on the Internet about these cases, and there is a lot of pressure from public opinion, for the pressure of these public opinions, Xu Lang can choose to turn a blind eye and listen to it, but Tian Yongchun, as the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, he can't not care, and the leader is not so easy to do, he needs to deal with and solve this problem, Give Xu Lang a good environment for them to solve the case.

Judging from Tian Yongchun's call to Xu Lang, how much pressure Tian Yongchun is under, Tian Yongchun feels a lot of pressure, how can Xu Lang not be, especially in the search and arrest of Shen Kaiwen and others, there is no result, which makes Xu Lang feel irritable for a while, the family of the deceased needs an explanation, the superior leaders need a result, and Xu Lang They need a truth, but if Shen Kaiwen and others are not caught, there is no way to know, how can Xu Lang not be irritable.

The silence in the office was terrible, except for the sound of raindrops hitting the windows.

Xu Lang turned his head and looked at the dark window, what he saw was not the night scene outside, but his bearded face, from this face, Xu Lang saw helplessness and uneasiness, when Xu Lang looked at the shadow, the shadow was also looking at him, it seemed that he was laughing at Xu Lang's incompetence.

After a long time, Xu Lang threw the cigarette in his hand on the table and asked slowly, "Is the search still fruitless?"

Ding Haoqiong and Du Ziqiao glanced at each other, shook their heads slowly, and said, "Not yet." ”

Xu Lang was silent, without the fury that Du Ziqiao and they imagined, Xu Lang was very calm, he seemed to have accepted this fact.

After a few silences

After a few seconds, Xu Lang slowly turned his head, looked at Du Ziqiao and Ding Haoqiong with tired faces, and said, "Let the brothers below work harder." ”

Du Ziqiao didn't speak, just nodded.

Ding Haoqiong and Du Ziqiao sat for a while, and seeing that Xu Lang didn't mean to speak, they glanced at each other, then stood up and left the office, leaving Xu Lang to sit alone in the office.

With the current police investigation of Shen Kaiwen and others, they can already be called well aware of their situation, their properties in the city have been investigated one by one, and their relatives and friends have also been investigated by the police one by one, and the whereabouts of Shen Kaiwen and others have not been found, Xu Lang is really anxious, because, the later they find Shen Kaiwen and them, the more likely they are to escape from the city, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to the police, but now, in addition to waiting for the results of the search, There is no better way.

The wait is long and the most torturous, and Xu Lang is exactly like this at the moment.

Just when Xu Lang was sitting behind his desk, thinking about any other way to find Shen Kaiwen and the others, the door that had just been closed by Du Ziqiao and them was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

The door was slammed against the wall, making a muffled bang, interrupting Xu Lang's thoughts, he raised his head and looked towards the door, and saw Du Ziqiao standing at the door with a mixture of excitement and anxiety.

"What's the matter, did you find Shen Kaiwen and them," Xu Lang hurriedly asked.

Du Ziqiao nodded and said, "Yes, Shen Kaiwen appeared." ”

After Xu Lang heard the news, he suddenly got up from his chair, walked around the desk, walked quickly to Du Ziqiao, and hurriedly asked, "Where did a few people appear and where were they found?"

Facing Xu Lang's excited face and anxious tone, Du Ziqiao did not show excitement, but frowned, looked at Xu Lang with complicated eyes, and said, "At present, only Shen Kaiwen has been found. ”

"Where is a man?"

Xu Lang looked at Du Ziqiao's face, was slightly stunned, and asked.

"At the entrance of the Municipal Intermediate Court."

"How could Shen Kaiwen appear at the door of the court?"

When Xu Lang learned that Shen Kaiwen appeared at the door of the Municipal Intermediate Court, this question came up for the first time, but now is not the time to think about this problem, since Shen Kaiwen appeared, it means that he has no intention of leaving the city, these days, the police have been in full swing in the search and arrest of Shen Kaiwen and others, as long as you pay a little attention, you will notice, Shen Kaiwen, as a party, it is impossible not to know, according to common sense, after ordinary people are found by the police to commit another crime, the first thing they want to think about is to escape, The farther away the better, after several days of fruitless searching, Xu Lang also began to wonder if Shen Kaiwen and the others had already left the city, but now they see that Shen Kaiwen did not leave.

"Who found it," Xu Lang asked.

"Oh, it's a colleague who works in the court, because he left something in the office, when he went back to pick it up, he found Shen Kaiwen and immediately contacted me." Du Ziqiao explained.

Hearing this, Xu Lang didn't ask any more, and immediately said, "Gather people and go to the Intermediate Court immediately, I want to see what Shen Kaiwen wants to do."

Xu Lang walked out of the office as he spoke, and Du Ziqiao followed closely behind.

When Xu Lang walked out of the office, he found that Ding Haoqiong and they were all ready, waiting for Xu Lang to come out, seeing the excitement on their faces, Xu Lang didn't say anything, and walked directly to the outside of CY.

When Xu Lang and the others walked out of CY, they found that the rain outside had stopped, it seemed that God also knew that Shen Kaiwen had appeared, and it was finally time for the case to end, Xu Lang didn't think much about it, and got into a police car directly, Du Ziqiao got into the co-pilot, Xu Lang drove, and drove straight towards the court.

On the way to the court, Xu Lang asked "what happened at the scene"

Du Ziqiao shook his head and said, "I don't know what the specific situation is at the scene, but the comrades nearby have already rushed over." ”

Hearing Du Ziqiao say this, Xu Lang's hanging heart suddenly relaxed, Shen Kaiwen's appearance made Xu Lang feel a long-lost excitement, Xu Lang himself didn't know how long he hadn't been excited by the appearance of a criminal suspect, and he didn't remember how long he hadn't been so passive in a case, however, none of this mattered now.

Just when Xu Lang was thinking about how to deploy to arrest Shen Kaiwen for a while, and how to interrogate him after he was caught, Du Ziqiao spoke again.

"According to colleagues in the court, Shen Kaiwen appeared this time, as if he appeared on purpose, he had been holding a black umbrella, standing at the door of the court, looking at the sign of the court, not moving, as if waiting for us to pass."

Du Ziqiao's words made Xu Lang's mood just get better, and suddenly became complicated and dignified again.

Shen Kaiwen's sudden appearance, and he also appeared at the door of the court, what did he want to do Xu Lang also wanted to know, Shen Kaiwen did this, there must be his purpose, so, what is the purpose After seeing Shen Kaiwen later, what will happen Xu Lang doesn't know, he can't think about it so much now, he just wants to see Shen Kaiwen earlier and ask him why he did it.

Thinking of this, Xu Lang stepped on the accelerator and drove in the direction of the court.
