People, from birth are role-playing, when you are young, you are a son and daughter, after school, you are a student, after graduation, you are an employee, after falling in love, you are the other party's boyfriend and girlfriend, after marriage, you are a husband and wife, after having children, you are a father and mother, when you work, right, you are an employee, right, you are a leader, after retirement, you are both a father and mother, possibly a grandparents, until the moment you die, you really remove all the masks, you are just a dead person, It's tiring to sleep for a long, long time, because it's comfortable to die for a long, long time.

At night, it was already deep, Xu Lang stood next to the window of the ward, standing for a long, long time, watching the lights of each household outside from on to out, the streets outside from bustling and noisy, to silent, the lively and prosperous city during the day, with the deepening of the night, gradually returned to calm, most of them had rested, and all the members of the CY, including the comrades of the various public security bureaus, were still sticking to their respective posts.

Ten minutes ago, Xu Lang received a phone call, it was Lai Pi who told Xu Lang a good news, and at the same time, also told Xu Lang a bad news.

The good news is that Sun Jianying was rescued and arrested, and he is still alive; The bad news is that Sun Jianying's kidnappers have escaped capture and are missing.

When he heard the news, Xu Lang was both happy and frustrated, after all, he didn't catch the two people who were most hidden, Xu Lang's heart was more or less regretful, but the result was still good after all, at least, Sun Jianying was arrested.

If it was in the past, Xu Lang would definitely return to CY for a surprise interrogation of Sun Jianying as soon as he knew the news, however, Xu Lang did not do this, he just told Lai Pi on the phone and asked him to bring Sun Jianying back to CY and immediately launch a surprise interrogation, while Xu Lang continued to stay in the ward, waiting for Wang Wenruo to wake up.

Time passed minute by minute, during the day, the noisy hospital at this time, also fell into silence, the silence was terrible, the silence made people unable to breathe, no one spoke, the corridor could occasionally hear the slight footsteps of the nurse inspecting the ward, the sound was not very loud, but at this time it seemed so clear.

Xu Lang is still standing by the window, looking at the dark night outside, here, looking at the sky, the place as far as the eye can see is pitch black, no moon, no stars, Xu Lang looked at the night, he thought of when he was a child, when he lived in his grandmother's house, at that time, he was still very young, snuggled in his grandmother's arms, sat in the yard with his sister, looked up at the sky, and counted the stars in the sky, and his grandmother held Xu Lang while telling the two children some stories that had been passed down for a long time, those stories were old and lost their teeth, but, Xu Lang and Xu Chan listened to it with relish.

Once upon a time, Xu Lang had left Zhangjiazhuang for a long time, he had not appreciated the stars in the sky for many years, his grandmother died, his sister also died, Xu Lang lived alone for a long time, he felt so tired, fortunately, at that time, Shu Yue accompanied him, accompanied him through countless lonely nights, after the incident six years ago, Shu Yue also left himself, his cheap twin brother also left him, they completely left themselves, He left a baby in his infancy for himself.

Six years ago, Xu Lang chose to leave the city with Xiao Yueyue and go to live in Zhuxi County, where for nearly six years, Xu Lang also told Xiao Yueyue the stories of those old lost teeth like his grandmother when he was a child, perhaps, this is the transmission of life and the inheritance of culture.

"Hmph"

Just as Xu Lang was looking at the night sky outside, a painful groan sounded behind him.

Xu Lang instantly retracted his thoughts, turned his head, and looked at Wang Wenruo, who had woken up from the hospital bed, and Wang Wenruo also looked at Xu Lang.

"Where am I?"

After Wang Wenruo and Xu Lang looked at each other for a few seconds, he shifted his gaze, looked around, and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Hospital." Xu Lang said lightly.

"Oh."

Hearing Xu Lang say this, Wang Wenruo looked at the snow-white ceiling, his expression was complicated, he didn't know what he was thinking, maybe, he was glad that he was still alive, maybe, he was regretting that he didn't die, as for what he was thinking, only he knew.

Xu Lang stared at Wang Wenruo who was stunned and stared at the ceiling, Xu Lang didn't immediately ask Wang Wenruo anything, he walked to Wang Wenruo's bedside, stretched out his hand and rang the pager at the bedside, and then, Xu Lang pulled a chair, sat down on the side of the bed, and looked at Wang Wenruo.

After hearing the ringing of the pager, the nurse at the nurse station came over not long after, followed by a doctor on duty, after they carefully examined Wang Wenruo, the doctor said to Xu Lang, "It's no big deal, you can be discharged after a few days of rest in the hospital." ”

Xu Lang nodded, thanked the medical staff, and sent them out of the ward.

After the medical staff left, Xu Lang closed the door, returned to the bedside and sat down again, looking at Wang Wenruo, there were only two people left in the ward.

As Xu Lang closed the door and walked to him and sat down, Wang Wenruo did not look at the ceiling blankly, but turned his head to look at Xu Lang, two men who were actually not much different in age, looking at each other, however, although Wang Wenruo was only thirty-eight years old

The young man looks like he is in his forties, nearly fifty, and Xu Lang, although he has long snow-white hair, looks like a man who is not yet thirty years old.

The two looked at each other for a long time, no one took the lead in speaking, there are too many things happening today, Xu Lang has too many questions in his heart that Wang Wenruo needs to answer, now, Wang Wenruo is awake, but Xu Lang doesn't know where to start for a while, in the end, it was Wang Wenruo who took the lead in speaking, and his first sentence made Xu Lang frown.

"Xu Lang, Officer Xu, we finally met."

Xu Lang frowned and looked at Wang Wenruo, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Do you know me?"

Wang Wenruo looked at Xu Lang, smiled, and said slowly, "The ancients, knowing oneself and knowing that the other side are invincible, and I don't know your opponent, so how can I do it, I not only know you, but also know you very well." ”

"Oh yes, tell me, how much do you know about me?"

Xu Lang looked at Wang Wenruo with interest and asked, on the surface, Xu Lang was not shocked, but his thoughts began to surge in his heart.

As if to prove that what he said was true, Wang Wenruo said slowly, "Xu Lang, male, from the city, is now two years old Chinese New Year's Eve, his father Xu Yuan used to be a policeman, his mother Zhang Lan is a surgeon in the Third Hospital, you also have a sister who is three years older than you, and a twin brother, when you were five years old, both parents died, when you were fifteen years old, your sister was killed, in the same year, the grandmother who raised your sister and brother also died, when you were twenty-eight years old, your brother and girlfriend died, and you now have a six-year-old daughter, It should be called Xu Yueyue."

"After you took the college entrance examination, you chose the police academy, at the age of nineteen, you received an undercover mission, undercover to a criminal group, and finally, successfully completed the task, the criminal gang was wiped out, afterwards, you returned to the police academy to continue your studies, after graduation, under the recommendation of Lu Ye, the former director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, served as the captain of the second criminal investigation team, three years later, was suspended for beating a prisoner, and soon after, you resigned and established a detective agency, called Lang Ge Detective Agency, in the same year, You also served as a criminal investigation consultant of the Public Security Bureau, assisting the public security organs to crack countless cases, two years later, there was a shooting case that shocked the whole country, you were seriously injured in that case, your girlfriend and twin brother were killed because they saved you, half a year later, you left the city with your daughter and went to settle in Zhuxi County, Beihu Province, more than a month ago, Ning Yanran, deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, went to look for you, you returned to the city from Zhuxi County, and after coming back, the train murder case was solved, and soon after, CY was established, You serve as the leader of the CY criminal investigation team, and you have solved the perfect suicide case and the perfect murder case one after another. ”

In the end, Wang Wenruo looked at Xu Lang and asked, "Officer Xu, am I right?"

Hearing Wang Wenruo say this, Xu Lang didn't answer, although he didn't admit this, but his expression told Wang Wenruo that Wang Wenruo was right, in just a few words, he told Xu Lang's experience in the first thirty years, it seems that Wang Wenruo and Xu Lang have known each other for a long time, and they have a very good relationship, unlike two people who have not met, Xu Lang's face is very gloomy, his eyes narrowed into a slit, flashing with a dangerous light.

After Wang Wenruo finished saying this, an expression appeared on his face, and he looked at Xu Lang with interest and did not speak again.

Silence, another suffocating silence, Xu Lang's body exuded an extremely dangerous aura, his eyes looked at Wang Wenruo became more and more unfriendly, but Wang Wenruo didn't seem to notice it, just looked at Xu Lang, the corners of his mouth hooked a curvature.

"How do you know this, can you know things outside when you are in prison" Xu Lang squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Wenruo, and asked in a deep voice.

Wang Wenruo looked at Xu Lang, he was sure that Xu Lang must be very angry in his heart at this moment, and he wanted to kill himself, but Xu Lang didn't make any moves, he just looked at himself.

Wang Wenruo was a little disappointed, his goal was not achieved, but he was not too disappointed, at least, he succeeded in angering Xu Lang.

"I only learned about this after I was released from prison, and it was only after I came to the city that I really got to know you, to be honest, you are a very good policeman, at least, you are very capable, I admire you." Wang Wenruo said lightly.

"Why do you want to know me," Xu Lang asked as he looked at Wang Wenruo.

"As I just said, you're my opponent, I don't know who I know."

"After you get out of prison, you're ready to commit crimes," Xu Lang asked again.

Wang Wenruo didn't look at Xu Lang, but turned his head, looked at the ceiling above his head, thought about it, nodded, and said, "Yes." ”

"So, Zhang Jinzhong and Sun Qihang were both killed by you."

Wang Wenruo nodded again and said, "Yes." ”

"Why do you want to do this?"

Wang Wenruo turned his head to look at Xu Lang, showing a mocking smile, he grinned and laughed, the smile was very ugly, and the smile was very bitter.

"Haha"

"Why, hehe, you ask me why"

Wang Wenruo's eyes were moist, tears flowed down the corners of his eyes, he looked at Xu Lang and said slowly, "You lose."

Have loved one, more than one, you chose the police profession in order to avenge your relatives, and I, like you, have also lost relatives, you have a clean background, and you have connections, you can become a policeman, and I am just a person with a criminal record, destined not to be a policeman, I don't know what I did wrong, why my relatives left me one by one, I don't understand what I did wrong"

"I was born in the countryside, since I was a child, my parents have high expectations of me, I also know that it is not easy for my parents, so I chose to study hard, study harder than others, I thought, as long as I am admitted to college, after graduating from college, I can change the status quo, in college, I met her, she is so beautiful, so moving, I couldn't help but fall in love with her when I saw her for the first time."

Xu Lang knew who Wang Wenruo was talking about, it was Wang Wenruo's fiancée Li Jingqi.

"For her, I gave up my plan to return to my hometown immediately, and stayed in the city, in this strange city, I have no relatives, no friends, the only thing I have is her and her family, but"

Speaking of this, Wang Wenruo closed his eyes, his chest rose and fell violently, his tone became choked, and tears flowed out again.

"Do you know that before she had a car accident, we were ready to get married, but, just before she got married, she died, and she was hit to death, when I saw her cold corpse, my first thought was to kill the bastard who killed him, that bastard was caught, but he was only sentenced to seven years, seven years, only seven years, Li Jingqi's mother raised her for more than 20 years, and she died like this, and the culprit was only sentenced to seven years, is this fair and unfair."

Speaking of this, Wang Wenruo looked at Xu Lang and said excitedly.

Xu Lang was silent, Wang Wenruo lost the person he loved the most, Xu Lang had experienced it, when Shu Yue was killed, Xu Lang's thoughts at that time were actually the same as Wang Wenruo's, he couldn't wait to kill those bastards, but Xu Lang didn't do it, and reality didn't allow him to do it, maybe he had the same experience, maybe it was sympathy, Xu Lang had a trace of sympathy and pity for Wang Wenruo.

Wang Wenruo continued.

"Actually, I really wanted to kill that bastard and avenge her, but her mother was sick at that time and needed a lot of money, and we didn't have that much money, and when it came to reality, I had to bow my head and accept the compensation that made me feel ashamed, and watching him go to prison, I didn't want to live in this city anymore, so we went back to our hometown and prepared to start a new life."

"A new life began, I married her sister and had my own son, originally, I thought that my life could really start again, but those bastards hurt them, they not only raped my wife, but also killed my son, my son was less than a year old when he died, how could they be so ruthless to do it"

Wang Wenruo closed his eyes again, and a painful look appeared on his face.

Wang Wenruo closed his eyes, opened them again, and closed them again, and so on several times before he continued, "Yes, those bastards were caught and sentenced, but except for one of them who was sentenced to death, the others were still alive and only sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment, why, they killed people, committed crimes, and can still live, and I, just for revenge, also have to go to jail Is this the so-called law, is this the so-called fairness?"

Wang Wenruo sneered.

"So, at this time, you had the idea of killing," Xu Lang asked.

Wang Wenruo nodded and said, "Yes, when I was serving my sentence in prison, I thought, when I get out, I must kill all these bastards, since the law can't judge them and can't give me justice, then I'll do it myself." ”

When Xu Lang heard this, he frowned and said, "According to our investigation, after you were released from prison, you didn't hurt their relatives."

Wang Wenruo looked at Xu Lang with an idiot look, and said angrily, "It was they who committed the crime, and it was not their family that committed the crime, the ancients also said, the disaster is not for the family, I am not a psychopath, who hurt me, I will have to pay the price, of course, I have not had such thoughts, after I was released from prison, I once quietly went to see their parents, and saw that they were the same as my father and my mother-in-law, they were all poor people, so I gave up." ”

"Then you came to the city from Xingchuan City to kill Sun Qihang, who once killed your fiancée," Xu Lang asked again.

Wang Wenruo nodded and said, "Yes, I know that he was released from prison, and I also know that he is living a very good life, not only took over the company, but also married a wife and had children, hehe, the reality is so ridiculous, he killed someone, but only went to prison for seven years, and I hurt someone, but I have to go to prison for several years, is this fair, why can he live a normal life after he is released from prison, and after I am released from prison, everyone sees me as if he sees a plague god, why is it because his family has money?"

Hearing Wang Wenruo ask himself many times why, Xu Lang didn't know how to explain these to Wang Wenruo, the trial of Sun Qihang and others by the law was all based on the law, and there was no insider, and it was not because of the question of whether Sun Qihang's family had money.
