Chapter 354: Memories of the Survivors
There is a clear and strict line between thought and action, like a knife edge. Criminals - this is the kind of person who crosses this line. - [Sue] Andrei Dribbe

With a slight sound of the door opening, the door of the ward was pushed open from the outside, and Zhang Lei and Li Taiping looked at the door.
Two people walked in from the open door, a man and a woman, these two people Zhang Lei and Li Taiping are very familiar, the man is Xu Lang, and the woman is the girl who has been taking care of Li Taiping recently, the girl's name is Jiang Xiaozhen, and she is the elder sister of the pair of sisters and brothers.
The girl is very thin, not tall, no different from ordinary girls, the girl has long black hair, and a simple ponytail is tied with a rubber band, the girl looks average, not beautiful or ugly, belongs to the very popular kind, but, her eyes are exceptionally clear, Jiang Xiaozhen's face is not white, but a little dark, at first glance, it is because of the perennial exposure to the sun, the clothes worn by the girl are very ordinary, they are all bargains that can be bought for dozens of dollars on the night market stalls.
Jiang Xiaozhen was carrying a kettle in her hand, after she walked in, she put the kettle next to the bed, took out a few cups, poured three glasses of water, and then looked at the medicine bottle on the bedside, and found that there was still a third of the liquid in the medicine bottle, she lowered her head again, bent down, stretched out her hand and touched Li Taiping's forehead, and then lifted the quilt and looked at the gauze on Li Taiping's body, and found that there was no blood, so she breathed a sigh of relief and asked softly: "How do you feel today?" ”
Li Taiping looked at Jiang Xiaozhen, squeezed out a smile that was not very good-looking, and said softly: "Sister Xiaozhen, I feel much better." ”
Jiang Xiaozhen showed a moving smile, two dimples appeared on her cheeks, she looked at the little boy with pity, and said gently: "Rest well, don't think too much." ”
"Hmm."
Li Taiping nodded slightly.
Jiang Xiaozhen glanced at Zhang Lei, who was sitting next to the hospital bed, nodded at him, and then left the ward and closed the door.
After Xu Lang entered the ward, he did not come directly, but walked to the window as before and looked at the scenery outside.
After Jiang Xiaozhen left, the ward fell silent again, only the sound of the liquid ticking gently knocked on the hearts of the three men.
"Brother Zhang Lei, Brother Xu Lang, you are all policemen, have you seen my uncle? What kind of person is my uncle? I don't know how long it took, the little boy Li Taiping was the first to ask.
When Li Taiping said this, he didn't look at Zhang Lei, but turned his head sideways to look at Xu Lang who was standing by the window.
Zhang Lei put the apple and fruit knife in his hand on the bedside table, he looked at Li Taiping in surprise, hesitated, shook his head, he hadn't seen Li Taiping's uncle, but he had heard of it, he knew that Li Taiping's uncle was called Li Jianjun, an auxiliary police officer of the S City Public Security Bureau, who died in a mission a few years ago, and that's all he knew, Zhang Lei didn't know why Li Taiping suddenly asked about this, so he turned his head and looked at Xu Lang who was standing by the window.
"I've met Li Jianjun twice, and he's a good cop." Xu Lang didn't look back, still looking at the scenery outside the window, and said lightly.
After Li Taiping heard this answer, he smiled a little happily, but maybe because of the big mood swings, which affected the wound on his chest, his originally ruddy and immature face suddenly turned a little white.
Xu Lang knew that Li Jianjun was a person, Li Jianjun was on a mission, and encountered a member of Li Taiping's father's criminal gang, Li Jianjun had a gun in his hand at the time, and the other party also had a gun in his hand, the place where the two sides encountered was in a narrow alley, Li Jianjun knew that person, that person had followed his brother, that is, Li Taiping's father, to their house, when Li Jianjun knew what Li Taiping's father did, he always wanted to arrest his brother and let him be a new person, Unexpectedly, at that time, in that narrow alley, the two sides encountered.
The gun went off, and as a result, someone died, Li Jianjun died, and that person died.
Since Xu Lang knew that Li Taiping was the only survivor in the basement, he paid special attention to this child's things, he knew Li Taiping's family situation very well, Li Taiping's father was a criminal, a murderer, Li Taiping had no mother when he was a child, of course, it was not his mother who died, but because he couldn't stand the beating and torture of Li Taiping's father, not long after giving birth to Li Taiping, he secretly ran away alone, and he didn't come back to visit Li Taiping all these years.
And Li Taiping's father is not at home all the year round because of his own affairs, and the young Li Taiping has always been raised by his uncle Li Jianjun, Li Jianjun has never been married in his life, so he has always regarded this Li Taiping as his own son, but, the good times did not last long, Li Taiping's father was sentenced to death, and Li Taiping's uncle Li Jianjun also died in the mission, and Li Taiping became an orphan, and finally, went to live in an orphanage in the west of the city.
Among the thirteen children in the orphanage, except for Liu Siya's experience, Li Taiping's experience is the most different, and Xu Lang feels that Li Taiping is different from other children, so he pays special attention to Li Taiping's situation.
"If you become a police officer, can you catch the bad guys?" Li Taiping looked at Xu Lang's back and asked.
"Yes."
"I want to be a police officer when I grow up, to catch the bad guys."
"Okay, when you grow up, you'll be a police officer."
Lee Tae-pyeong smiled again, he was happy, and then the room fell silent again.
I don't know how long it took, the little boy spoke again, and he said, "Brother Xu Lang, I heard that you are very powerful, right?" ”
"I'm not great, your uncle is very good."
Li Taiping's eyes were a little gloomy, he was silent for a while, and said: "I know you are very powerful, you are a famous police detective in S City, and you are the boss of Brother Zhang Lei, and my uncle is just an auxiliary policeman, an ordinary policeman." ”
Xu Lang turned around, looked at Li Taiping's eyes, and said with a very serious expression: "Your uncle is a great policeman, he is our hero, an eternal hero." ”
Li Taiping didn't speak, he stared at Xu Lang's eyes, children's eyes are always the cleanest, and they are also the most direct, he looked at it for a long time and knew that Xu Lang was telling the truth, so he rolled his eyes slightly, looked out the window beside Xu Lang, and said slowly: "I know you all want to know what happened at that time." ”
Xu Lang and Zhang Lei glanced at each other, did not speak, and looked at this little boy with a big ghost.
"That basement I stumbled upon by accident." Li Taiping continued.
Next, Li Taiping's voice was not loud and his tone was slow, but he told Xu Lang and Zhang Lei everything he knew.
Li Taiping went to the Chengxi Orphanage more than four years ago, at that time, he was only eight years old, every child will be panicked when he arrives in a strange environment, although Li Taiping has an uncle who is a policeman, but after all, he is still a child, especially when his most respected uncle died, he became even more silent, during his time in the orphanage, at first, he watched the children in the yard playing on the grass, painting in the room, playing with toys, he just watched, watched from afar, He didn't want to be near these kids his age.
During this period, he found that in addition to his reluctance to get close to those children, there was a little girl about the same age as him who was also unwilling to get close to those children, and this little girl was none other than Liu Siya.
Li Taiping found that the little girl's eyes on those children were not at all like the eyes of her peers looking at her friends, but a little indifferent and hateful, especially when those children surrounded the beautiful sister, he could always feel the little girl's anger, jealousy and hatred, compared to those children, and the gentle and beautiful sister, Li Taiping was more afraid of getting close to the little girl named Liu Siya, although he didn't understand why the girl looked at them like that, but, Lee Tae-pyeong was always instinctively scared.
When Li Taiping went to the orphanage, there were not only thirteen children in the orphanage, but almost twenty children, among them, five or six children were older than them, and these children were not willing to get close to them, they always sat far away, looking at them indifferently, and their eyes were full of pity that Li Taiping did not understand.
More than a year later, those older children suddenly disappeared, and no one knew where they went, because those children were reluctant to get close to them on weekdays, so the disappearance of these children did not cause much fluctuation, and the same was true of Li Taiping at that time.
After more than a year of getting along, Li Taiping began to slowly adapt and accept this environment, he became a part of the orphanage, during this period, in addition to mingling with those children, he was always reluctant to get close to the little girl named Liu Siya, and did not dare to get too close to Shangguan Jing, maybe this is a child's instinct to avoid.
More than half a year has passed, Zhang Lei suddenly appeared in the orphanage, he always brings a lot of delicious and fun things every once in a while, the children like him very much, Li Taiping is the same, other children may be because Zhang Lei brought them delicious food, fun, and also accompanied them to play, so, they like Zhang Lei, but Li Taiping is different, he also likes this hip-hop, there is no adult Zhang Lei, except for Zhang Lei's kindness and pro, The bigger reason may be that Zhang Lei is wearing a police uniform.
Liu Siya also liked Zhang Lei at first, but later, when Zhang Lei always got too close to Shangguan Jing, Liu Siya began to alienate Zhang Lei, and was not very willing to get close to Zhang Lei, Zhang Lei didn't understand why, and Li Taiping didn't understand it very well, but he knew that it must be because Zhang Lei always liked to walk with Shangguan Jing.
When Teacher's Day came this year, Zhang Lei took Xu Lang to the orphanage that night, Li Taiping ate a lot of good things during the day, and his stomach was uncomfortable, so he quietly got up to go to the toilet, and on the way back from the toilet, he accidentally found that Shangguan Jing took Liu Siya and left the orphanage quietly, and he didn't know where he went.
The next day, Shangguan Jing and Liu Siya did not appear in the orphanage, he was very curious and strange, but after all, he was just a child and didn't think too much, because this was not the first time he saw Shangguan Jing take Liu Siya out in the middle of the night, and he got used to it after a long time.
Later, after Niu Honghe's case, on the day of Yao Wenlin's death, Li Taiping found that Shangguan Jing was not in the orphanage again, but Liu Siya was there, this time, it was Li Taiping's turn to feel strange, because Shangguan Jing would take Liu Siya every time she went out, I don't know why, this time Shangguan Jing did not take Liu Siya, so, that day, he paid special attention to Liu Siya's movements, so he found that Liu Siya left the orphanage alone at noon that day, and he originally planned to quietly follow Liu Siya out to have a look, Let's see what Liu Siya is going to do.
Just when he was about to quietly leave the orphanage, Aunt Wang, that is, Wang Yalan, appeared in front of him and took him back, Li Taiping couldn't go out, just when he was thinking about where Liu Siya went, he found that Wang Yalan didn't know when she was no longer in the orphanage, but no one found out.
Li Taiping began to look around, and finally in that warehouse, he found a basement, he was bolder than the average child, and heard some strange movements below the door of the basement, as if someone was wailing and calling for help below, which made Li Taiping particularly surprised and scared, just when he was about to open the door of the basement, he suddenly heard that the back door of the orphanage was opened from the outside, Li Taiping was afraid of being discovered, so he left quietly.
When Li Taiping left the warehouse, he found that Liu Siya came back with Wang Yalan, Liu Siya was wearing a very sexy set of clothes, which was sexier than ordinary adults, which made Li Taiping extremely curious, he didn't understand, Liu Siya was only a few months older than himself, why did he wear such strange clothes, he was afraid that Liu Siya would know that he knew about the existence of the basement, so he didn't say anything.
That night, after Li Taiping fell asleep with the other children and Wang Yalan also left the children's room, Li Taiping crept up and quietly came to the warehouse.
When he came to the warehouse, he found that the door of the warehouse had been opened, which made Li Taiping feel both frightened and curious, so he quietly went down the stairs to the basement, and then, he saw an amazing scene.
Li Taiping saw that the children who suddenly disappeared more than two years ago were actually locked in a narrow cage like dogs, and in front of the cage, there were three people standing, one is Wang Yalan, one is Shangguan Jing, and the other is Liu Siya.
In the narrow iron cage, there were five people locked up, these people had already had no movement, he didn't know why Shangguan Jing, who looked gentle and beautiful, did this, and he didn't understand why these missing big brothers and sisters were locked inside, he was very scared, he was afraid of Wang Yalan, afraid of Shangguan Jing, and afraid of Liu Siya, so he didn't think about going back from the place where he came down, but because he was too scared, he fell down when he went up, and there was a noise.
The basement, which was already dark and silent, attracted the attention of several people inside because of this sound, and he was so frightened that he wanted to escape, desperate to escape, and quickly left this basement, left this orphanage, and never wanted to come back.
The idea was good, but the reality was cruel, he was discovered, and then, he was grabbed by three people and tied to the rusty iron shelf bed.
He was so frightened that he begged for mercy and began to howl and weep, but he was answered only with indifference and without any words.
The beatings and torture became his whole life for the next few days, he didn't know how many times he was beaten, all the nails of his fingers were stripped off, he passed out again and again because of the pain, and woke up again and again because of the pain.
At first, he wanted to shout in the hope of attracting the attention of the people above him, however, he was disappointed, no matter how much he yelled, no sound was heard, and no one came down to save him, only the three women would come down from time to time, and after feeding him, they began to torture him.
Howling, crying, begging for mercy, to no avail, he began to become desperate, under the torture of the painful bone marrow again and again, he felt that he was about to die, whenever the torture was over, he saw the iron cage not far away from the corner of his eye, and saw the five people locked in it who were already too thin to look like men, their eyes were already empty, the five people were like plasticine, piled together, they looked at all this expressionlessly, if it weren't for their occasional blink, it meant that they were still alive, Lee Tae-pyeong really thought they were dead.
However, on the third day of Li Taiping's down, the five people in the iron cage all died one after another, yes, they died, they were starved to death, Li Taiping smelled the smell of the corpse rotting, he was no longer afraid, no longer afraid, he desperately waited for his death to come.
In this way, he was sometimes unconscious, sometimes awake, and he didn't know how long it was, he thought he was going to die, especially when he was in a coma for longer and longer, he really thought he was dead, and when he woke up again, he found that he was no longer in that cold, damp and dark basement, but in a ward, and what he smelled in his nose was not the smell of rotting corpses, but the smell of disinfectant water, and what he heard in his ears was the voice of strangers, and he began to doubt, Did you go to heaven after you died?
It wasn't until many days later that he didn't know he was alive, yes, he did, but every time he remembered the horrible scene he had experienced, he felt a chill and fear, from the depths of his heart, from the fear in his bones.
