Since the 921 case, it has been raining in S City.

S city is located in the south of Huaxia, it was originally a rainy place, now it is already summer, autumn has just arrived in the season, it is said that the autumn tiger autumn tiger, although the summer is hot, but there is an air-conditioned watermelon, as long as you don't go out, you won't feel uncomfortable, and autumn is dry and hot, especially in coastal cities like S City, it's just that, with the continuous autumn rain down, people realize that autumn is coming.

In the villa in S City, which represents the identity of a rich man, the old guy in a thick military coat is still the same as before, sitting on a chair and watching the continuous autumn rain outside through the balcony.

"Ahem, cough, cough"

An uncomfortable-sounding, even irritating, cough came from the mouth of the old fellow who looked like he was going to die at any moment.

The old man's real age is actually not very old, about the same age as Lu Ye, and even a few years younger than Lu Ye, but he looks even older than Lu Ye, like an old man in his sixties and seventies.

The man may be really old, after he stopped coughing, he tightened the military coat on his body, his eyes were a little wandering, I don't know what he was thinking, maybe he coughed too much just now, which affected his lungs, maybe because it had been raining, he suffered from the cold, the old man stretched out a dry palm and gently touched his chest.

No one knows that under the layers of clothes, where the old man's palm touches, there is a very hideous scar, even if more than 20 years have passed, the scar is still so hideous and terrifying, every time it rains, there will be a faint pain everywhere, it seems to remind this old man who is not an old man.

Today, there was only the old man on the second floor of the villa, and the woman who had been following the old man did not know where she had gone.

After a period of silence, the old man coughed a few more times, slowly put down the hand on his chest, he looked at the rain curtain outside in a daze, and muttered to himself: "After so many years, you still have to walk on our old road after all, I don't know if you should be happy that there is a successor, or should you feel sad?" I hope you don't disappoint us old immortals."

The man, perhaps really old, began to talk to himself in a low, inaudible voice, not knowing what he was saying there alone.

After a long, long time, the door of the man's room was pushed open, and the woman entered, and when she entered, she quickly closed the door, and stood behind the old man, without saying a word.

The man had already stopped talking to himself, and his confused eyes gradually became sharper, and he slowly asked, "Has he started to investigate Xu Yi's affairs?" ”

"Yes." The woman said slowly.

The old man's withered fingers tapped his knees lightly, making a dull sound.

The woman standing behind the old man, looking at the back of this man who will die at any time, her eyes are extremely complicated, she can't see through what this man wants to do, let alone what this man is thinking, she only knows that if she is not careful, she will die, for this, she has never doubted, and what makes her puzzled is that she doesn't understand why this man pays attention to the young man named Xu Lang, and she doesn't understand why he let himself appear in front of Xu Lang a year ago, let alone understand, In the previous case, why did the man in front of her save Xu Lang, she didn't understand, so she didn't understand.

The man nestled in the chair didn't know what the woman behind him was thinking, maybe he knew, but he didn't care, and after a long time, the man's dull and hoarse voice sounded, "Since he wants to know, let him know, pay attention to proportion, don't make it too obvious." ”

"Okay."

The woman didn't ask anything, and turned to leave the room, which looked luxurious, but was actually very deserted.

After the woman left, the old man hooked up a smile on the corner of his mouth, not knowing whether it was mockery or relief, and continued to half-squint at the rain curtain outside the window.

Half a month after the end of Bu Zimo's case, Sun Wenyao, the forensic director of the H Provincial Public Security Department, suddenly submitted an application for resignation, everyone was surprised and puzzled, and they didn't understand why this person who was about the same age as Lu Ye chose to resign at this time, with his age far from the age of retirement, and with Sun Wenyao's experience and technology, the superior leaders should not approve his resignation, but what surprised everyone was that for Sun Wenyao's resignation, the superiors did not keep him, and the resignation procedures went very smoothly, everything goes according to the process again.

After Sun Wenyao submitted his resignation report, it quickly spread in the circle, and since then, Sun Wenyao began to slowly reduce the number of times he went to work, until a month later, after Sun Wenyao's formalities were completed, the man and the new forensic director handed over the work, and he never appeared in everyone's field of vision again, he left H Province, returned to his hometown in S City, and began to enjoy his retirement life.

The new director of the forensic medicine department of the provincial public security department was not promoted from below, but was directly transferred from other cities, which made more people puzzled by the reason.

After Sun Wenyao's resignation, several people from the originally inconspicuous forensic medicine department submitted resignation reports one after another, and no one cared too much about their departure, after all, everyone was very busy, especially for the criminal investigation department, and the positions of those forensic doctors who left were quickly replaced by new people, and everything seemed to return to its usual calm.

After the 921 case, Sun Wenyao, who was supposed to cultivate himself and recuperate in his hometown in S City, suddenly disappeared without attracting anyone's attention, especially after the batch of arms was searched, after the weapons expert Hou Debao rushed from Yanjing to S City, no one noticed this old forensic doctor who had retired early.

It's still that room, it's still that living room, a man and a woman sitting on two sofas.

The woman was beautiful, her face radiated with a motherly glow, and she reached out and gently stroked her bulging belly with a gentle look in her eyes.

Xu Yi sat on the other sofa, not looking at Shu Yue with a big belly, at this moment, he frowned, thinking about something, yes, he was thinking about things.

The incident at the Chengxi Orphanage was beyond his expectations, and although he knew that it would happen sooner or later, he was still surprised and surprised.

This man, who was supposed to leave S City a long time ago, chose to stay in S City for some reason, hiding in a corner of the city, looking at everything that was happening in front of him with indifferent eyes.

He is not Xu Lang, and he doesn't have so many superfluous emotions, because he grew up in a cannibalistic environment since he was a child, although he knows that all this is arranged by the man who has been dead for many years, and he has already accepted this, but he is still unwilling to go down that road, especially, for so many years, he has watched the man who looks exactly like himself, step by step to the current stage, Xu Yi's heart is very angry and unwilling, Why did he do it himself, and why wasn't he?

When Niu Honghe's case happened, Xu Yi knew that the rest of the things would happen, he had thought about stopping all this, and he had also thought about telling these things to the man who made his heart very complicated, but he didn't, he just chose to watch coldly.

It's not all right to say that he is a cold bystander, some time ago, he once called Xu Lang and said some things, originally, he thought that with Xu Lang's cleverness, he would understand what he wanted to express, but what he didn't expect was that what made him angry was that a person who was so smart on weekdays couldn't figure out what he meant, and actually let the next thing happen, and let the woman escape.

Every time he thought of this, Xu Yi was very annoyed by what Xu Lang had done before, but he knew that he shouldn't blame him for anything, after all, there were too many things, too many secrets, and he didn't know yet, so he chose the most conservative way, if he was standing in Xu Lang's position, maybe his choice would be the same as him, Xu Yi asked himself in his heart.

He knew about the orphanage, because he came out of there, and knew what had happened inside, the secret of the orphanage was discovered, it was a matter of time, and he would have wanted to destroy it a long time ago, if it weren't for some reason, the orphanage in the west of the city would have ceased to exist, but, what he didn't expect was that he stayed there for so long, and he didn't find out that a small orphanage actually stored arms, and it was a powerful weapon, which made him very surprised and surprised.

Now, Xu Lang did not interfere in the police investigation, but returned to the countryside, he knew what Xu Lang wanted to do, he also knew what Xu Lang wanted to think, he also knew that Xu Lang would know everything sooner or later, but he didn't know what kind of mentality, he didn't want Xu Lang to know all this, because once Xu Lang knew all this, that guy would do something crazy and irrational, and he didn't know.

No one knows what was going on in the mind of the man who looked scruffy and sloppy like a prodigal.

Xu Yi was hesitating, hesitating to stop him from knowing what things he knew, but, after thinking about it, a helpless wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, what if he didn't want him to know, someone wanted him to know, and he couldn't stop it from happening, this, in the cornfield three months ago, he knew the result.

Xu Yi thought a lot, and in the end, he still chose to watch all this coldly.

Xu Yi raised his head and looked at the woman with a big belly sitting not far away, his eyes looked at the woman's bulging belly, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face, he knew that the woman in front of him was Xu Lang's woman, and the child in his belly was also that guy's, if it wasn't for this accident, he wouldn't have stayed here at all, watching all this happen.

Zhang Lei woke up, he woke up the day after Xu Lang left the hospital.

This big boy who usually laughs and laughs, every big boy who walks right, fell silent after waking up.

He opened his eyes every day and looked at the white ceiling, as if there was something interesting on it, and his mother was with him all day, and his father often visited him in the hospital, but he chose to remain silent.

As soon as Zhang Lei woke up, the police got the news that the second criminal investigation team and relevant leaders came to the hospital to visit and comfort him, in addition to condolences, they still wanted to know from Zhang Lei's mouth what happened in the hotel room on September 21, but no matter how they asked, Zhang Lei chose to remain silent and did not say a word.

At the beginning, everyone thought that after Zhang Lei was seriously injured, his vocal cords were traumatized, and he couldn't speak, so he found Zhang Lei's attending doctor and carefully examined Zhang Lei, and the result of the examination was naturally that the vocal cords were not damaged, but he refused to speak.

There was an endless stream of people who came to inquire about the situation that day, including Li Lei, deputy captain of the second criminal investigation team, Ning Yanran, captain of the second criminal investigation team, Wu Yong of the first criminal investigation team, Lu Ye, director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and He Yongzhi, the captain of the criminal investigation team of the Provincial Public Security Department, and even Du Yongnian, director of the Provincial Public Security Department, also came, but Zhang Lei still didn't say a word, which made everyone feel tricky.

In addition to these people, people from the internal investigation department of the public security system also came to ask Zhang Lei a lot of questions, and the response to them was still silent, deathly silent.

At the end of September, a week after Zhang Lei woke up, Ning Yanran came to the hospital again to visit Zhang Lei.

In the ward of the single room, there are only two people, Ning Yanran and Zhu Xumei, and Zhang Lei who is lying on the hospital bed, as for Zhang Lei's mother, she is not here.

Ning Yanran came with a mission, she had to figure out what happened on September 21st, not only did she want to know, everyone wanted to know, but after Zhang Lei woke up, he refused to say anything, which made the police very embarrassed.

During this time, in addition to Zhang Lei waking up, the children who had been staying in the intensive care unit were also out of danger of life, and woke up one after another, and the police had also asked them for questioning, I don't know if it was because the things they experienced that day hit them too hard, or because their physical trauma was too serious, none of these children were willing to speak, because they were all half-grown children, all minors, without relatives and parents, and Shangguan Jing and others, as their guardians, have now become wanted criminals, The police didn't want to ask too much, after all, they were still children, and no matter how eager the police were to know what happened that day, they couldn't ask anything in the face of these children who were trembling on the hospital bed, so they pinned all their hopes on Zhang Lei.

Originally, everyone thought that since Zhang Lei was a policeman, and he was also an old criminal policeman who had worked in the Second Criminal Investigation Team for many years, after he woke up, he would definitely tell the truth, tell what happened that day, and assist the police in solving the case as soon as possible, but no one thought that he would choose to remain silent.

Ning Yanran sat on the chair on the side of the hospital bed, she looked at Zhang Lei, who was still very pale on the hospital bed, her eyes were complicated, and she didn't know how to speak.

Why Zhang Lei chose to be silent, Ning Yanran knew more or less, because that woman was Shangguan Jing.

Ning Yanran admitted that Shangguan Jing is indeed a very beautiful and likable woman, Zhang Lei will like her, Ning Yanran doesn't think it's strange, in the past two years, Zhang Lei often went to the orphanage to help the children in the orphanage, Ning Yanran knew after the 921 case, but Ning Yanran still couldn't figure out why Zhang Lei chose to be silent.

Ning Yanran has been in the second criminal investigation team for more than a year and almost two years, she deals with Zhang Lei every day, knows what kind of person Zhang Lei is, she knows that Zhang Lei is a very principled person, and should not be so embarrassed in the face of the person he likes and the issue of principle, everyone who is a policeman knows that he is telling the truth now, not harming Shangguan Jing, but helping Shangguan Jing, only to arrest Shangguan Jing one day earlier, as long as Shangguan Jing is arrested, take the initiative to confess, and have an explanation to everyone.

Ning Yanran couldn't figure it out, and neither could the others, and it was precisely because they couldn't figure it out that they didn't know how to make Zhang Lei speak.

I don't know how long he was silent, Zhang Lei suddenly turned his head, no longer looking at the ceiling, but at Ning Yanran, who wanted to speak and stopped, grinned, and spoke, his voice was very hoarse.

"Where's Brother Lang?"

Hearing this voice, Ning Yanran and Zhu Xumei both looked at Zhang Lei in surprise, they didn't expect Zhang Lei to actually speak, and what surprised them even more was that the first sentence Zhang Lei opened his mouth was to ask Xu Lang.

Although Ning Yanran didn't know why Zhang Lei asked Xu Lang, as long as Zhang Lei spoke, then it would not be far from him to tell what happened on September 21st, so Ning Yanran said without thinking: "Xu Lang came to the hospital to see you once when you were injured and unconscious, and then I don't know where I went, but it seems that he returned to his grandmother's house in the countryside, what's wrong?" Do you have something to do with Xu Lang? ”

After listening to Ning Yanran's explanation, Zhang Lei turned his head slightly, not looking at Ning Yanran, but at the drizzle outside the window, and after a long time, he said softly: "I want to see Brother Lang, he didn't come, I won't say it." ”

Ning Yanran frowned, she looked at Zhang Lei's side face, and said with some annoyance: "Zhang Lei, do you know that if you do this, you will bring a lot of trouble to yourself and even your family, and now the internal investigation has begun on you." ”

"I know." Zhang Lei's voice was very low, and he couldn't hear the change in mood, as if he had heard something that had nothing to do with him at all.

Ning Yanran looked at Zhang Lei's brows and furrowed a little, and continued: "Since you know, why do you want to do this? ”

Zhang Lei turned his head, did not look at Ning Yanran, but looked at the ceiling, and then slowly closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Ning Yanran said a few more words, and found that Zhang Lei seemed to be asleep, she felt very annoyed and helpless, and finally got up and left the ward.

After Ning Yanran and Zhu Xumei left, Zhang Lei opened his eyes, glanced at the location of the door of the ward, closed his eyes again, and said nothing.
