Zhang Ze adjusted the temperature of the shower to the coldest, and then turned on the switch on the man, and the man sat up excitedly, looking at Fang Fan with palpitations. Fang Fan put away the power of the nightmare and leaned against the sink to smoke leisurely, and a cloud of blue smoke drifted out under the yellow light.

"Wake up. Do you think of something? ”

Fang Fan took another puff of cigarette, then took the cigarette from his mouth with his right hand, and his upturned thumb slid over the raised eyebrows.

"No, no. No... I don't know anything. ”

The man was a little incoherent, Fang Fan threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the man's face, and Zhang Ze frowned when he saw this move. Fang Fan squatted beside the man, grabbed his wrist, and asked.

"What's your name?"

"Gu Sheng."

Fang Fan felt that Gu Sheng's pulse was very steady, so he continued to ask.

"What do you have to do with the dead?"

"No, no, it doesn't matter."

At this time, Fang Fan found that Gu Sheng's pulse was beating very fast, and his tone was slightly flustered.

"You're lying."

Fang Fan's hand clenched Gu Sheng's wrist harder and harder, and Gu Sheng screamed like killing a pig.

"I don't know."

Fang Fan looked calm and calm, but the strength in his hand increased a little more, and suddenly there was a sound of broken bones from Gu Sheng's wrist, and Gu Sheng fainted with a loud scream. Zhang Ze hurriedly stepped forward to pull Fang Fan away and checked Gu Sheng's situation. Luckily, it wasn't a big deal, but I passed out because of the excessive pain.

"Lao Fang, what are you doing?"

Fang Fan said coldly.

"What's wrong with me?"

Zhang Ze suddenly felt that Fang Fan was very unfamiliar, and he pointed to Gu Sheng, who had fainted, and said.

"You're never like that."

"To get a suspect to confess, you always need some necessary means."

"It's a little too much, isn't it?"

Suddenly, Fang Fan turned around and stepped forward to grab Zhang Ze's collar and pressed Zhang Ze heavily against the wall, Fang Fan said in a gloomy tone.

"Excessive? When those criminals sinned, did anyone tell them what was excessive? When those criminals calculate others, does anyone tell them what is excessive? When those people killed Yuehan, did anyone tell them what was excessive? ”

When Zhang Ze found that Fang Fan said these words, a trace of red light flashed in his eyes. Zhang Ze pushed hard, and Fang Fan staggered back a few steps. The current Fang Fan is not only unfamiliar, but even a little terrifying.

"I know you haven't come out of Yuehan's death yet..."

Fang Fan interrupted Zhang Ze's words and suddenly yelled.

"You are not allowed to mention Yuehan, she is not dead, she is not dead."

Zhang Ze couldn't say anything, and sighed. Looking at each other, it seemed as if someone had poured a large vat of liquid nitrogen into the air, and the two of them were like two frozen sculptures at this time. Fang Fan turned around and walked out of the bathroom, Zhang Ze heard the sound of a lighter outside, followed by a puff of smoke.

"I was so excited, I'm sorry."

"No... It's nothing... It's just a little too sudden. ”

Fang Fan was smoking cigarette after cigarette outside. Zhang Ze splashed Gu Sheng up with water in the bathroom, and after Gu Sheng woke up, he still looked like he was grinning, Zhang Ze whispered to him.

"You'd better tell me everything you know, and I'll call you an ambulance. Otherwise, if you don't operate on this hand in time, I'm afraid it will be useless in the future. ”

"Can you give me a cigarette?"

Zhang Ze lit a cigarette and handed it to Gu Sheng.

"The deceased is Zhao Li, whom I met at a friend's drinking party. He is good at everything, but he is lustful, so I introduced him to this hotel, first, for his convenience, and secondly, I can also earn a little money. ”

Gu Sheng took a hard sip of his cigarette and continued.

"Yesterday, Zhao Li came to me and asked me to find him a little sister. There is business to the door, naturally there is no reason to extrapolate, I found a little sister to introduce to him, but I didn't expect him to die yesterday. ”

Fang Fan leaned against the door frame of the bathroom and said.

"What time was yesterday?"

As soon as Gu Sheng saw that it was Fang Fan who asked the question, he was afraid of three points at that time, and said tremblingly.

"It's about 9 a.m."

Fang Fan thought about it for a while, it was almost 1 o'clock in the afternoon when he received the letter yesterday, and according to the time, it was quite reasonable.

"You take us to the woman."

"Officer, can you let me see a doctor first?"

Fang Fan and Zhang Ze took Gu Sheng to the hospital, and his arm was wrapped in a plaster cast and hung around his neck.

"Let's go, can you take us there now?"

"Yes, yes..."

"If you cooperate with the work early, why suffer this sin."

The three of them came to a three-way area called the Hotbed, which is close to Zhonghai City, but not under the jurisdiction of the Zhonghai Municipal Government. The hotbed is full of pornography, gambling and drugs, fights and brawls are common, and the darker ones are often hidden beneath the surface. Gu Sheng was born here since he was a child, his father is a mystery, but his mother has a lot. Many women here choose to secretly go to Zhonghai City to give birth after pregnancy, and the child is abandoned in the hospital or sent to an orphanage, which may be a good idea for the future of the child, but there will still be a wound that cannot be healed forever and grow with the growth of the child. Gu Sheng's biological mother Ah Hui is a stubborn woman, no matter what others say after she is pregnant, she is unwilling to give birth to a child in Zhonghai City, she would rather have such a drag oil bottle in her future life, she also has to accompany the child, as for the name Gu Sheng, Ah Hui was given according to the surname of the first guest she received after confinement.

Gu Sheng's birth has a purifying effect on that small living environment to a certain extent, especially his naturally loud cry has brought a lot of vitality there, those women love Gu Sheng very much, it can be said that Gu Sheng grew up eating Baijia milk, and when he grew up, he called every woman to add a mother after her surname. As time went on, the vice penetrated into Gu Sheng's bone marrow like a cold cold, and Ah Hui gradually couldn't control what Gu Sheng did, but as a mother, she always hoped that Gu Sheng could live upright. That time, Gu Sheng was blocked by the creditor in a woman's room, the creditor smashed the door with a bang, and in a hurry, Gu Sheng jumped from the third floor, fortunately, there were a lot of waste cartons below. Gu Sheng ran home in a panic, and Ah Hui took out all her savings and stuffed them into Gu Sheng's hands.

"You go, don't come back in this life and this life."

From that day on, Gu Sheng went to Zhonghai City to make a living, experienced a life that he did not want to look back at all his life, and finally achieved the position of housekeeping manager at the Holiday Inn, which can be said to be a level higher than his previous life. The first thing Gu Sheng did was to return to the place where he was born, pay off his gambling debts, and take Ah Hui to live in Zhonghai City.

Vices can sometimes be like a stubborn illness with a person for a lifetime, and after Gu Sheng returned to the hotbed again, he met many new desperate women. After being coaxed, they were introduced to Zhonghai City to start a skin and meat business, and the person in charge of these women was Qin's mother, who had fed Gu Sheng at the beginning. Fang Fan and Zhang Ze took Gu Sheng to Qin's mother's house, but Qin's mother was much more enthusiastic than she imagined. There was no smell in the house, it was neatly tied, and the sunlight poured in through the window, refracting on the green flowers and leaves to other places, leaving a few dark gray shadows on the ground.

"Kid, how did you get that hand?"

"I accidentally fell. Qin's mother, these are my two colleagues, they are here to pick two little sisters. ”

"Oh, well, tell me what you like."

Gu Sheng didn't say the true identities of Fang Fan and Zhang Ze, there were many people here, and it was inevitable that they would collide with some secret forces. Mother Qin handed Fang Fan and Zhang Ze a tablet, which contained a lot of basic information about women, and Zhang Ze whispered.

"It feels like choosing a blind date."

Zhang Ze looked at it quite seriously, Fang Fan looked at Gu Sheng and said.

"The one you introduced to Lao Zhao a few days ago is good, so I'll choose her."

"Oh... Oh... Got it. ”

Gu Sheng turned to Qin's mother and said.

"Is the little sister who was introduced to Gu Sheng a few days ago still there?"

Mother Qin thought about it carefully, patted her thigh, and said emotionally.

"Ahem, if you don't say I forgot about her. That fucking little Nizi didn't come back after she left. ”

Fang Fan then asked.

"How long has this woman been with you?"

"How long? Just that time, but that time I asked her for a sky-high price, but I didn't expect this little girl to run away. ”

"Can you show us the picture?"

Qin's mother took the tablet, took out one of the deleted photos, and handed it back to Zhang Ze. The woman in the photo is scantily dressed, with a charming expression and a provocative figure. But this did not arouse Zhang Ze's slightest interest, and he handed the photo to Fang Fan.

"This..."

"You think it's weird, don't you?"

It was not someone else in the photo, but Song Fei, Fang Fan pointed to the person in the photo and asked Gu Sheng.

"This is the woman you introduced to Lao Zhao that day?"

Gu Sheng looked at it and said.

"Yes, it's her, it seems to be called Yueyue."

Zhang Ze took a picture of it, and after a few people said goodbye to Qin's mother, they walked out, and Gu Sheng asked timidly.

"Nothing to do with me, can I go?"

Fang Fan glared at Gu Sheng out of the corner of his eye, Gu Sheng immediately didn't dare to breathe, Fang Fan snorted and said.

"Let's go, but I promise to turn on the machine 24 hours a day, and I'll look for you if there's anything in the future."

"Understood, understood."

Fang Fan and Zhang Ze had just walked out not far away, and suddenly heard someone shouting Gu Sheng.

"Gu Sheng, I didn't expect you to be here. Let's go, the hyenas have something to do with you. ”

The two of them stopped when they heard the sound, and when they looked back, Gu Sheng and the person who called him had already walked a long way. Fang Fan and Zhang Ze took the photo back to the police station first, this is too strange, Song Fei was already in a different place when Zhao Li died, how could she become a door-to-door service lady again? After arriving at the police station, Fang Fan went directly to the serious crime team.

"Lao Liu, where are Chu Qian and Ma Fei locked up now?"

"Prison."

"Take me there, I have something to ask Chu Qian."

Lao Liu took Fang Fan and Zhang Ze to Zhonghai City Prison, and the sound of shackles rubbing against the ground came from the corridor to the interview room. Chu Qian's face was full of sadness, her hair was scattered in front of her, blocking her gray and godless eyes, her eye sockets were deeply sunken, and there were heavy dark circles around her, it seemed that she was tormented by the inner demonic barrier. Seeing that it was Fang Fan and Zhang Ze coming, Chu Qian became emotional, her eyes widened, and her lips trembled slightly. Suddenly, Chu Qian ran towards Fang Fan, the shackles under her feet rattled, her hands full of mud grabbed Fang Fan, and she half-knelt in front of Fang Fan, the prison guard behind her wanted to pull her away, but Fang Fan stopped her.

"She's coming, she's coming, she says she's in pain."

"Who's coming?"

"Song Fei, she said she was in so much pain, help me."

Fang Fan let out a long sigh and stopped talking. Then Zhang Ze took out a photo and put it in front of Chu Qian, Chu Qian screamed when she saw it, took a few steps back, curled up in the corner and trembled, Zhang Ze squatted beside Chu Qian and whispered.

"It's okay, don't be afraid. Did you know that Song Fei has twin sisters? ”

Chu Qian was still trembling, staring at Zhang Ze with frightened eyes. Suddenly, Chu Qian slowly approached Zhang Ze's ear and said in a trembling voice.

"There's... She's everywhere. ”

Then Chu Qian laughed loudly, and the prison guard hurriedly stepped forward and took Chu Qian back to the cell from Zhang Ze's side.

"Zhang Ze, what did she say?"

"She said yes, and Song Fei's twin sisters are everywhere."

"Let's ask Ma Fei again."

Later, a few people came to the men's prison, and Ma Fei's mental condition looked much better than Chu Qian's, his face was ruddy, his eyes were bright, but his face was slightly sloppy. It's a pity that Song Fei was in love with him at the beginning, love is indeed an unfathomable transaction, the investment and return are never proportional, the loss is more and the profit is less, until the final insistence on negative equity before having to apply to fate for bankruptcy.

"What are you looking for me?"

Ma Fei asked in a deep voice.

"Let's ask you, does Song Fei have twin sisters?"

"No, she's an orphan."

Fang Fan handed the photo to Ma Fei.

"Do you see if this is her?"

Ma Fei glanced at it casually and said.

"It's not her or who."

Suddenly, Fang Fan was furious, grabbed Ma Fei's hair and pressed him heavily on the table.

"You show me carefully, is this Song Fei who gave everything for you, but was let down by you with a wolf heart."

Zhang Ze and Lao Liu hurriedly stepped forward to pull Fang Fan away, and the prison guard put his hand on the electric baton on his waist while pulling Ma Fei away. Fang Fan broke free from Lao Liu and Zhang Ze, pointed at Ma Fei, whose face was covered in blood, and continued to scold.

"You're a fucking scumbag, Song Fei is blind and loves you so much, not only do you not cherish it, but you also killed her, you should die."

Fang Fan's emotions were out of control repeatedly, and Zhang Ze and Lao Liu had no choice but to pull him out. Fang Fan gasped for breath on the side, and finally punched the cold and hard wall. His heart was sour, and tears slid down the corners of his eyes and dripped on the shirt that Yuehan gave him. Zhang Ze sent Lao Liu out first, he stood beside Fang Fan and guarded without saying a word, and after a while, he took out one from the cigarette case, lit it and handed it to Fang Fan. Fang Fan turned his head and wiped his tears on his shoulder, and took the cigarette in Zhang Ze's hand.

"Let's go."

On the way back, the three of them invited Lao Liu to have a meal, which was regarded as a thank you for following him. After returning to the police station, Zhang Ze asked.

"Old Fang, who is telling the truth, Chu Qian or Ma Fei?"

"Ma Fei."

"Why?"

Chu Qian's spirit has been tortured a little abnormal, and the Song Fei she saw was probably a demon born of guilt in her heart. And Ma Fei thinks normally, speaks normally, and when he sees Song Fei's photo..."

Speaking of which, Fang Fan took a deep breath and continued.

"There was no guilt when he saw Song Fei's photo, which means that his emotions did not fluctuate, so he was telling the truth."

"Oh, that's right. Lao Fang, why don't you go home and rest? We stayed up for a few days in a row, and the iron man couldn't stand it. ”

"If I don't find the murderer who killed Yuehan for a day, I won't rest for a day."

Fang Fan stared at the information on the table, and the ashtray emitted a refreshing stench of nicotine. In this way, the skinning case and the necklace theft case can be combined and investigated, and now Fang Fan still has a key in his hand from the skinned man's corpse, and the next clue may be in the cabinet of that photo. Now the only question is 'the pink bear is only excited about steel', the pink bear is a skinned male corpse, so what is the meaning of steel?

Thinking about it, Fang Fan leaned back in his chair and fell asleep, in his dream there was a desolate and endless artemisia meadow, and the passing wind set off waves. In the distance, on a stone table in the center of a pavilion sat a wordless scroll, the yellowed paper strewn with marks.

"Lawson, Lawson."

Fang Fan shouted loudly at the Artemisia Grass, and suddenly a faint voice appeared behind him.

"What are you looking for me?"

"Here... How can this be the case here? ”

"Is it desolate?"

"Hmm."

Lawson said with a smile.

"It's just a loss of color."

"Why is this happening?"

"Then ask yourself. If you hadn't sealed the nightmare in your body in the first place, would you still have the results you have now? ”

Fang Fan was speechless when asked, and Lawson continued.

"When Yueshuang left, my heart was the same."

"Did you also seal the Nightmare into your body?"

Luo Sen looked at Fang Fan with a smile and said nothing, Fang Fan excitedly stepped forward and grabbed Luo Sen by the collar and shouted.

"You knew it was going to be like this, didn't you? You already knew that Yuehan was going to die, didn't you? ”

Suddenly, Luo Sen turned into a phantom and broke free from Fang Fan's restraints, and he reappeared as an entity standing a little far away from Fang Fan, and said.

"I just live here, and you are the creator here, so why do you question me about everything? There is a temple ahead, you might as well go there and check it out. ”

Suddenly, Fang Fan felt a strong shaking, and he opened his eyes to see Zhang Ze pushing himself.

"Old Fang, wake up."

"What's wrong?"

"I know what steel means in the second half of 'Pink Bear is only excited about steel'?"

"What do you mean?"

"Look what I've found."

Zhang Ze handed a card to Fang Fan.

"Leap Fitness Club?"

"Well, this gym is next door to us, and the owner of this membership card is Yang Yue."

"Where did you find that?"

"Su Kang gave it to me, he and Yang Yue have been working out there, Yang Yue handed over the fitness card to Su Kang for safekeeping before he disappeared, Su Kang has always carried it closely, and it fell out of his wallet just now when we were eating together. Then I suddenly thought about whether the steel in that sentence would refer to the meaning of iron that fitness people often say. ”

"Let's go, let's take a look."

Fang Fan and Zhang Ze came to the gym, but the cabinet was in the women's locker room. Zhang Ze negotiated with the staff for a long time to get consent, and was once regarded as a blatant pervert. Fang Fan and Zhang Ze entered the locker room and found the No. 9 wardrobe, which looked exactly the same as in the photo. Zhang Ze couldn't wait to step forward and open the wardrobe, which contained a cowhide envelope and a roll of DV videotape. After taking these things, the two hurriedly left the gym, although it was the police who handled the case, but they always felt awkward when they stayed in the women's locker room.

Fang Fan poured the contents of the envelope into his hand, and it was actually the necklace of the real Holy Child. Fang Fan picked up the DV tape and stuffed it into the DV, first the screen was full of snowflakes, and Yang Yue's face slowly appeared.

"If you find this tape, come to me in the basement of the Zhonghai City Psychiatric Hospital..."

The picture stopped abruptly, obviously Yang Yue hadn't finished speaking, and there must have been something that forced her to stop shooting, but now there is a clue that is the basement of Zhonghai City Mental Hospital.

"Lao Fang, what do you think?"

"Let's go."

A speeding sedan pierced the quiet midnight.
