Chapter 228: Doubt

When a person is alive, we tend to ignore his existence and not pay too much attention to their lives, however, when they die, we often explore what he has experienced, done, and said in his life, and then collect all the information that can be collected, take pictures and collect evidence, record it, and compile it into a book, hoping that it can be used as evidence in the future trial, and finally, after the case is over, these things will be packaged and sorted out, put on the shelf, and accumulate dust in adulthood. No one is ever interested in a dead person anymore, and although this information and information are rarely used at the end of the case or in the trial, the police will still work tirelessly to prove that he has been in this world.

There is no way to know what Zhang Minhao experienced during his lifetime, at least as far as the current investigation is concerned, and what he did during his lifetime, before he came to the police force, it is impossible to know, but what he did after entering the police force, people who know him know, no one would have thought that such a person who seems to be full of vigor and vitality, and who seems to be jealous and hateful, would become a criminal from the police.

Xu Lang was lying on the hospital bed, looking at the snow-white ceiling, his nose smelled the ubiquitous disinfectant water in the hospital, he didn't understand why Zhang Minhao chose to do this, what was his motive, and what was his purpose?

Eight years ago, Lu Jianwei, he resigned from a policeman, step by step on the road of crime, in addition to his own character, more or more he felt that whether it was a soldier or a policeman, he could not really punish the crime, so he chose to use his own methods to punish criminals, it is true that those who were killed by Lu Jianwei did do a lot of bad things, they may not be a good son, a good husband, a good wife, a good teacher, a good leader, but they are not guilty to death, however, In Lu Jianwei's opinion, they all deserved to die, so he killed them with his own hands.

Someone once said that if you want to understand the truth, you have to keep getting close to it, understanding it, and even becoming it, Lu Jianwei got close to these criminals, and also understood these criminals, and it was precisely because of being close to them and understanding them that Lu Jianwei felt more and more that their sins were unforgivable, so Lu Jianwei chose to become them.

Punisher.

This pronoun, this nickname was made by Lu Jianwei, and the person who gave him this title was not himself, but those people who ate melons, Lu Jianwei thought that he represented the law to punish these people, and the price he paid was everything for himself, including his honor, his faith, and even his own life.

Before arresting Wang Wenruo, Shen Kaiwen appeared, and committed suicide, what he said to Xu Lang is still fresh in Xu Lang's memory.

Lu Jianwei died, and the punisher disappeared, the original frightened people once again became unscrupulous, and Shen Kaiwen, as a lawyer, a lawyer with a conscience and a sense of justice, after helping so many vulnerable groups, he felt deep exhaustion, and at the same time, he also felt powerless and helpless, he felt that his friend Lu Jianwei did nothing wrong back then, or rather, he thought that the punisher should exist and must exist.

So, Shen Kaiwen chose Wang Wenruo to help him kill Sun Qihang and Zhang Jinzhong, and at the same time, he also joined forces with Li Zhaojing, they let the name of the punisher appear in everyone's field of vision again, they used the corpses of Zhang Jinzhong, Sun Qihang, and Tan Yanxue's tragic experience to tell everyone that the punisher is back, they have always existed, and in the end, Shen Kaiwen died calmly for his ideals, he died very painfully, but it was also very vigorous, because too many people witnessed his death, Until the moment he died, he was still chanting the name of the Punisher, as if to tell everyone that the Punisher was back and that he was watching you.

Shen Kaiwen and Li Zhaojing's goal was achieved, after Zhang Jinzhong and Sun Qihang died one after another, when their bodies appeared at the door of the Public Security Bureau, those news about the punisher, overwhelmingly appeared, people on the Internet, in private, have discussed the deeds of the punisher, some people think that the appearance of the punisher is a good thing, at least for some people, and some people feel panicked, they don't know if the next object of the punisher is themselves, and more people are just silent, Watching all this happen with a cold eye.

In the heated discussion between the news media and the melon-eating masses, the punisher was pushed to the forefront and everyone knew about its existence.

For Shen Kaiwen and Li Zhaojing, this is undoubtedly a good thing, a thing worth their excitement, and for the police, this is undoubtedly a bad thing, not only because of the appearance of the punisher, naked-naked slapping the police in the face, but more importantly, the appearance of the punisher will trigger the emergence of many imitators, the emergence of new crimes, and this has also appeared before, as it was eight years ago.

Xu Lang felt deeply tired, and so did Du Ziqiao, the appearance of the punisher made the security of S City unstable, many uncertain factors were converging, and what made Xu Lang even more anxious was the existence of the organization 'Master Chang'.

'Master Chang' They seem to be everywhere, they have been like this since many years ago, and they have been active in the first-tier city of S City, and from time to time they will give the security of S City a little bit, and disrupt the situation that has finally settled down again, what do they want to do? What do you want to get?

Money?

Xu Lang didn't think that people who could run such a big criminal organization would be short of money, not to mention anything else, just Li Zhaojing, she used to be just a very ordinary

After the accident, her father died, and her mother became a vegetative person, and she needed to lie on the hospital bed all year round, which required money, and Li Zhaojing turned herself into another person Ji Xueling after plastic surgery, which also needs money, and it is a large amount of money, how does this money come from? It is impossible to rely on Li Zhaojing's struggle alone, someone must have funded her, so who will this person be? Except for 'Master Chang', Xu Lang couldn't think of anyone else.

For power?

Whether it is Sun Wenyao, or Bu Zimo, or Zhang Minhao and others, if they have not embarked on the road of crime, their achievements will not be low, such as Sun Wenyao, he has become the director of the forensic department of the Provincial Public Security Department, and his power is not low, and Bu Zimo, Lu Jianwei and Zhang Minhao, although they are just ordinary policemen, but, with their ability, it is not impossible to sit in a high position in the future, especially Zhang Minhao, he is still so young, only in his early twenties, and the road ahead is still very long, but, They have all chosen the opposite path of their profession.

For the sake of fame?

So far, although there are many people who know about the criminal organization of 'Master Chang', most of them are police insiders, and there are some people who have dealt with people in this organization, and even the news media don't know about the organization, and the masses naturally can't know about it, and they obviously don't do it for the sake of fame.

Xu Lang has confessed countless times with the people of 'Master Chang', whether it is a head-to-head confrontation or an undercurrent, every time Xu Lang understands the other party, he feels more and more that this organization is powerful and mysterious, but for their purpose and motives, Xu Lang has not figured out so far, and those people in the 'Master Chang' organization have died with the most decisive attitude when many cases are about to end.

Before they died, they left only a few words, and they did not give an answer as to why they did this, and after they died, these answers were only speculated by the police through the investigation of their past, and no one knew whether the truth was so.

————

After Du Ziqiao and the others finished telling Xu Lang about the case, Xu Lang couldn't give more and better suggestions, and they could only continue to investigate in the current way, hoping to find some other clues.

Du Ziqiao and Ding Haoqiong left the hospital after telling Xu Lang a few words and letting him rest well, there are still many things they need to do, and there are still many clues that they need to investigate, they all hope to end this case as soon as possible and calm the current chaos.

After Du Ziqiao and the others left, Xu Lang thought about a lot of things alone, however, most of these things had no clue, Xu Lang was already seriously injured, his body was still very weak, and he needed to recuperate, he was so tired after waking up, and soon felt a deep exhaustion coming, he felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and finally, Xu Lang fell asleep in a mess of thoughts.

Xu Lang fell asleep this time, he didn't sleep well, all kinds of familiar or unfamiliar faces appeared in Xu Lang's dreams one after another, Xu Lang saw himself when he was a child in the dream again, when he looked at himself when he was a child, the other party was also looking at him, Xu Lang of different ages looked at Xu Lang differently, which made Xu Lang feel very puzzled.

In the end, Xu Lang saw Shen Kaiwen, his whole body was full of raging flames, and his eyes were about to be engulfed by the fire, but he looked at Xu Lang extremely calmly, and kept muttering: "Actually, you are the same as me, you are the same as me......."

After Shen Kaiwen said this, he rushed towards him, as if he wanted to die with him.

Xu Lang woke up from the dream suddenly, he opened his eyes and saw a dazzling white light, which made Xu Lang squint his eyes subconsciously, and only after his eyes gradually adapted to this light did Xu Lang completely open his eyes.

When Xu Lang came to his senses, he found that it was already dark outside, and the light Xu Lang saw was just the light of an incandescent lamp.

Xu Lang turned his head slightly, he didn't see Xiao Yueyue's figure, nor did he see Ning Yanran, out of the little nurse who was sitting on duty at the nurse's desk opposite, there were only two policemen sitting outside who were a little bored.

Xu Lang let out a long breath, and he asked himself in his heart, what is wrong with him? Why do dreams always show up like people who have died? Is it because you think about it day and dream about it at night?

After pondering and meditating to no avail, Xu Lang chose to give up, he looked at the ceiling above his head with his eyes open, and chose not to think about anything, just lying quietly.

I don't know how long it took, but Ning Yanran, who was in a hurry, came to the hospital with a dinner.

When Ning Yanran walked into the ward and saw Xu Lang's eyes open, she said apologetically: "I'm sorry, there are a few meetings in the bureau to attend today, so I'm late." ”

Hearing Ning Yanran's voice, Xu Lang came back to his senses, looking at Ning Yanran who was faintly sweating on his forehead, he smiled, shook his head gently, and didn't say anything.

"Hungry, aren't you?"

Ning Yanran first put the dinner in her hand on the cabinet, and then went to shake the hospital bed, let Xu Lang lean slightly on the bed, and then set up the dining table on the hospital bed

, and then brought the dinner.

Dinner was simple, it was still white rice porridge, and in addition to that, there was a bowl of fragrant soup.

Xu Lang took a sip and found that this was chicken soup, which tasted very good, and it had been boiled for a long time at first glance.

After eating, Xu Lang looked at Ning Yanran, who was wiping the corners of his mouth with a tissue, and asked, "What about Xiao Yueyue?" Why didn't she come? ”

"Oh, Xiao Yueyue is a little uncomfortable today, she has diarrhea, I asked her to wait for me at home, I came alone." Ning Yanran explained.

Xu Lang nodded and didn't say anything.

————

In the living room of a house not far from Xu Lang's house, there were two women, one big and one small, among which the little girl was Xiao Yueyue, who was supposed to stay at home and do her homework, and that woman was the woman who took Xiao Yueyue away from Zhang Minhao that day.

Xiao Yueyue was barefoot, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, watching TV with relish, it looked like a child of her age, full of great interest in cartoons, however, Xiao Yueyue watched not any cartoons, nor soap operas, or those variety shows that fooled people, but movies.

The curtains were drawn in the room, and the light in the room was dim, highlighting the TV screen, and at this time, the TV screen was a foreigner, holding a turning chainsaw, chasing a woman.

The woman screamed and ran desperately, but the man with the chainsaw always followed behind, and it didn't take long for the woman to fall to the ground and was chased by the man, and after the man caught up with the woman, he didn't say anything, he directly raised the chainsaw, and waved it at the woman, and the screams rang out, blood splattered, and scarlet blood splattered on the man's face, making the man look particularly hideous and terrifying.

This is a foreign-restricted film that most adults dare not watch, but Xiao Yueyue, who is only six years old, watched it with relish, and it can even be seen that when Xiao Yueyue saw the man raise the chainsaw and wave it at the woman, Xiao Yueyue's eyes widened suddenly, and there was a nervous and excited expression on her face, which was completely unimaginable that this expression would appear on the face of a little girl who was only six years old.

Isn't she afraid?

From Xiao Yueyue's face, there was no trace of fear, only excitement, which was incomprehensible.

The woman was wearing a set of white home clothes, sitting next to Xiao Yueyue, she was concentrating on making tea, her movements were very skillful, and she looked like a tea ceremony master.

The age of the woman is not very old, about twenty-seven or eighteen, and there are even some younger, however, how much is the real age of the woman, it is estimated that only she knows, after all, a woman is a very strange animal, some women are already thirty or forty years old, and they still look like they are in their early twenties, and some women are actually very young, but they look like a middle-aged aunt, and the age of the woman has always been a big mystery.

The woman did not watch the bloody scene on TV, but concentrated on making tea, occasionally raising her head and looking at the little girl sitting next to her, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

After the tea was brewed, the woman poured two cups, pushed one of them in front of the little girl, and then picked up one cup herself, first put it under her nose and smelled it, and then took a sip gently, and let the tea turn a few times in her mouth before swallowing it, the woman frowned slightly, it seemed that the tea brewed this time did not achieve the effect she expected, and she was a little dissatisfied.

Putting down the cup in her hand, the woman had no desire to pour tea anymore, but turned her head to look at the little girl beside her, the woman's eyes were gentle, and she looked at the little girl as if she were her own child, full of maternal brilliance.

Xiao Yueyue, who was stared at by the woman like this and paid attention to the TV, quickly noticed it, she turned her head, looked at the woman and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" Is there anything dirty on my face? ”

The woman smiled, shook her head, and said softly: "No, it's just that our Xiao Yueyue is too good-looking, I want to see it for a while." ”

"Oh."

Xiao Yueyue sighed, then turned her head and continued to watch the TV, completely ignoring the woman's scrutiny.

Not long after, the film ended, Xiao Yueyue moved her gaze from the TV screen to the woman's face again, and asked, "What time is it?" ”

The woman raised her wrist, looked at the old watch on her wrist, and said, "It's half past eight." ”

Xiao Yueyue put down her crossed legs, jumped off the sofa, and began to put on her shoes, while putting on her shoes, she said, "It's too late, I should go back, otherwise Aunt Ning will definitely say that I am going out alone." ”

The woman smiled and did not stop the little girl's movements.

When the little girl put on her shoes and walked to the door, the woman stood up and came to the door, she looked at Xiao Yueyue's side face and asked, "What do you want to do when you grow up?" ”

"The policeman, like Xu Lang, became a policeman." The little girl said without thinking.

The woman smiled again, she looked at Xiao Yueyue, stretched out her hand and rubbed Xiao Yueyue's head, and said, "Think about it again, think about it, and tell me when you come next time." ”

"Okay, then I'll go."

Xiao Yueyue waved at the woman, opened the door and left alone, while the woman stood at the door, watching Xiao Yueyue's voice disappearing into the elevator, the corners of her mouth were full of smiles, she looked so beautiful.
