Watching Ms. Du's red BMW disappear into the vast night, Qi Ruonan's mood was complicated. Although the boy's body was not harmed in any way, witnessing such a bloody and cruel atrocity must have caused an indelible wound in the boy's heart.

Ms. Du was anxious to protect her son and did not want the boy to assist the police in the investigation, for fear that her son would relive the terrible scene at the scene of the crime and suffer further psychological stimulation. Qi Ruonan can understand what the mother did, but can escaping solve the problem?

Through Ms. Du's speech and demeanor and the way she educates her children, Qi Ruonan does not feel that Ms. Du has the ability to help her children get out of the shadow caused by the shooting. Whether it's from the perspective of solving the case, or from the perspective of helping children recover their mental health, this matter can't just be left at that.

"Eh, what do you want?" Gu Song gently pushed the stunned Ruonan, pointed to a police car on the side of the road and said, "Let's go, I'll send you home." ”

Qi Ruonan turned his head, looked at Gu Song stunned for a few seconds, and replied, "I'm not going home." ”

"Not going home?" Gu Song was a little surprised, looked at his watch, it was already more than 2 o'clock in the morning. Although many colleagues are still sticking to their jobs and doing their best to search for the whereabouts of the suspects, the two of them have nothing to do at the moment. "In the middle of the night, where do you want to go? Do you work overtime in the bureau? ”

"I'm going to your house." Qi Ruonan said as he walked towards the car on the side of the road, opened the co-pilot's door and sat in. Gu Song felt inexplicable, so he hurriedly followed, and said half-jokingly: "Senior sister, this is not appropriate, right?" You're a boyfriend now, so you have to clean yourself. ”

"What do you want?" Qi Ruonan glanced at Gu Song and said angrily, "My birthday cake is still in your house, and I haven't touched a bite." There is also such a big table of delicious food, I won't help you solve it, how can you finish it by yourself. ”

"It's been a long time, that's what you're thinking about?" Gu Song shook his head with a smile, and said in his heart that the earthlings can't stop you from being greedy. But after thinking about it, he also felt that Ruonan was quite pitiful. Finally, I had a lively birthday, but when I made a wish, I was interrupted by the damn shooting. For that birthday dinner in the evening, Ruonan had been hungry all day, and now it's strange that he doesn't want to eat.

At 2:17 a.m., in the underground parking garage of Huguang Community, Ms. Du absentmindedly parked her car in her parking space. He Weiqi sat in the back seat without saying a word, and in the face of his mother's almost incessant nagging along the way, he felt that his head was about to explode.

When he returned home, He Weiqi didn't want to listen to his mother's chanting anymore, so he took off his shoes in the entrance and went into his bedroom with his schoolbag and locked the door. The noise in my ears disappeared in an instant, and the world finally returned to quiet.

He took out his dead phone from his schoolbag and plugged it into the charging cable at the bedside to charge it. When the brutal man broke into the convenience store, he tried to use the phone to call the police, but who knew that as soon as he pressed the word "1", the phone turned off. If I hadn't talked to my mother on that phone before, the remaining power might have lasted for a while.

But if you think about it, what if you call the police? No matter how fast the police arrived at the scene of the crime, they couldn't get as fast as the man's bullet. In the blink of an eye, several living lives passed quietly in front of him. The deafening sound of gunfire, trembling begs for mercy, screams of fear echoed in my mind from time to time. And the bright red picture of his eyes, the painful struggle, the unblinking eyes, all the details are deeply ingrained in his memory.

He didn't expect to forget it all. Because at some point, he seems to have lost the ability to forget.

"Wei Qi, are you sleeping?" After a few minutes of silence, the mother's tired and worried voice sounded outside the door. "I'll help you ask the teacher for a leave in the morning, don't go to school these days."

"Hmm......" He Weiqi lay motionless on the bed, his eyes fixed on the chandelier on the ceiling, and answered coldly.

"You really don't feel unwell at all, don't you need me to take you to the hospital for a check-up?"

This time, He Weiqi did not answer.

After a while, a low sobbing voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Wei Qi, can you tell me, what did you do last night?" Did you really go to the convenience store where the shooting took place? What was going on back then? What did the two policemen from the Municipal Public Security Bureau tell you? You ......"

"Mom." Before her mother could finish speaking, He Weiqi interrupted her in a pleading tone, "Don't ask anything, let me be quiet for a while, okay?" ”

"Okay, I won't ask, I won't ask......" The mother sighed helplessly, and asked distressedly, "You rest early, and you can call me if you have something." ”

It wasn't until his mother left the bedroom door that there was a sound of kicking and stomping footsteps in the living room that He Weiqi breathed a long sigh of relief. He grabbed his mobile phone from the bedside, clicked on the mobile phone album, and pulled out a photo taken a few months ago, and looked at it carefully and carefully.

It was a group photo taken at the dessert shop in front of the school. In the photo, he has a shy expression and a shy smile, while the woman next to him gently puts her arm around his shoulder, beautiful and charming, smiling like a flower.

To this day, he didn't even know the woman's name, but he didn't want to see her again. In such a sleepless night, the longing became even stronger. He put his phone to his chest and slowly closed his eyes, trying to replace the pain of the killing with fond memories.

If I ever see her again, I will definitely ......

At the same time, in an old house on the outskirts of the city that has been uninhabited for many years, the girl no longer knows how long she has been imprisoned. The room was pitch black, except for the faint glow of the dusty window.

That strange uncle didn't show up for a long time. The girl had been hungry all day, thirsty to death, and sick to her stomach.

Because her hands and feet were tied with ropes, the girl couldn't move, and after holding it for more than ten hours, she couldn't help but pee her pants after she had always loved cleanliness and beauty. The damp and cold sensation made her uncomfortable, annoying, and even humiliated. She misses her parents, that warm and comfortable home, her friends at school, and the freedom she once had......

A fat, large rat suddenly emerged from the room. It smelled the smell of food scraps, and sprang up to the girl, enjoying its dinner as if no one was around.

By the dim light, the girl saw the fat and ugly outline of the mouse. She was terrified and writhed desperately, but the cold wall behind her was a cruel reminder that she had nowhere to run.

In a state of extreme fear, the girl struggled for only a moment before falling unconscious.

When she woke up again, it was already bright outside the window, and she was forgotten in this dark and dilapidated corner, waiting for death to approach her.
