When people choose to do a wrong thing, they always habitually find a reason or excuse for themselves, no matter how absurd the reason is, no matter how fragile the excuse is, as long as there is a reason and excuse, they will subconsciously think that everything they have done is right, however, this is just a psychological comfort to cover their ears and deceive themselves.

After Xu Lang listened to Shangguan Watson's words, a look of ridicule and disdain gradually appeared on his calm face, yes, it is ridicule and contempt, who is Shangguan Watson, Xu Lang knows very well in his heart, and most of the people present know very well in their hearts, Xu Lang does not think that instigating a teenage child to commit a crime is really for the good of this child.

Perhaps, for Liu Siya, who has suffered from the ravages of life since she was a child, revenge and living are the driving force for her to live, perhaps, Shangguan Jing and Shangguan Huasheng, the father and daughter, have given Liu Siya some help, a harbor to rely on, a reason to live, maybe, for a thirteen-year-old girl, Shangguan Jing and their father and daughter are her biggest spiritual pillars, these things, Xu Lang will not deny anything in his heart, but Xu Lang knows a little more in his heart, Maybe Shangguan Jing really likes Liu Siya, a little girl, but Shangguan Huasheng definitely doesn't think so, if he really likes Liu Siya, he won't instruct her to commit crimes, if he really likes Liu Siya, she won't let a minor's hands be stained with blood that can never be washed off, and if she really likes Liu Siya, she won't instill the idea of revenge.

Thinking about this clearly, the expression of mockery and disdain on Xu Lang's face became more and more intense.

Xu Lang turned his back to Ning Yanran, Cao Zhiyi and others, they couldn't see the expression on Xu Lang's face clearly, but there was one person who saw it very clearly, this person was Shangguan Huasheng, when he saw the sarcastic expression on Xu Lang's face, he didn't know if it was because of Xu Lang's silence, or because Xu Lang's sarcastic expression stabbed the old man who had lived sixty or seventy years old, his original light and calm expression gradually disappeared, and the expression on his face became angry and hideous, he took two puffs of cigarette fiercely, and exhaled a puff of smoke that was so thick that it couldn't be dissolved, yelled at Xu Lang: "What kind of expression are you?" Do you think I'm lying? ”

With Shangguan Watson's hysterical roar, everyone present was stunned, they looked at each other, and they didn't understand what expression Xu Lang made, which made this old man so angry.

The corners of Xu Lang's mouth hooked up with a disdainful smile, and he slowly spoke: "You said that you didn't lie, you know it in your own heart, and I know it very well in my heart, so there is no need to dwell on this, in fact, compared to the motive for instigating Liu Siya to commit the crime, I am more interested in who the people who killed Qi Lang and Gong Liqin in the first place." ”

Shangguan Huasheng looked at Xu Lang and didn't speak for a long time, the angry expression on his face gradually disappeared, and he returned to calm again, as if the roar just now was not from him.

Ning Yanran and they saw the change in Shangguan Huasheng's expression, and their hearts became more and more solemn, they have always attached great importance to this old man since they learned that Shangguan Huasheng appeared, but when they came into contact with Shangguan Huasheng head-on, they suddenly found that they still underestimated this old man who had lived a Jiazi, they looked at Shangguan Huasheng, and there was a faint ominous premonition in their hearts, because Shangguan Huasheng was too calm, and he was not like a criminal who was about to be arrested, Ning Yanran and they were beating drums in their hearts, I don't know what this old man is going to do next, they just need to pin their hopes on Xu Lang for the time being, hoping that he can uncover the mystery of all this.

No matter how slow the cigarette is, there is a moment when it burns out, Shangguan Huasheng's cigarette has been smoked, he stared at Xu Lang for a long time, or he looked at Xu Lang for a long time, he slowly retracted his gaze, looking at the cigarette with only one cigarette butt left, the cigarette had already been extinguished, he took out the cigarette case again, put the cigarette butt into the cigarette case, took out another one from it, and put it in his mouth, and then, he glanced at Xu Lang, stretched out the cigarette case, and said to Xu Lang with a smile: "Do you want one?" ”

Xu Lang squinted his eyes, he just hesitated slightly, then strode in front of Shangguan Watson, stretched out his hand to take the cigarette case, took out a cigarette from it, put it in his mouth, and then returned the cigarette case to Shangguan Watson, he took out the lighter from his pocket, held the lighter in one hand, blocked the lighter with the other, stretched out in front of Shangguan Watson, and gently pressed the lighter with the hand holding the lighter.

With a snap, the yellowing flames in the blue instantly burst out and lit the cigarette.

And at this time, Ning Yanran and Cao Zhiyi, who had been standing in the distance, glanced at each other and nodded secretly, and then, they made a gesture to the special police and criminal police who were surrounding Shangguan Huasheng, they wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to capture Shangguan Huasheng in one fell swoop, they didn't want to talk to Shangguan Huasheng about these issues in this orphanage, they planned to take Shangguan Huasheng to the interrogation room of the Public Security Bureau to inquire about the situation.

However, at this time, Shangguan Watson, who bowed his head slightly, suddenly took out something in his left hand, which seemed to be a lighter and a remote control, and he raised his left hand slightly.

Ning Yanran and the others were stunned when they saw this scene, and subconsciously stopped and looked at the old man.

The opportunity was fleeting, as everyone's footsteps stopped, Shangguan Huasheng's cigarette had already been lit, he raised his head, turned his head slightly, looked at Ning Yanran and Cao Zhiyi at the door, smiled, and said: "You better not move, I know what you want to do, and I also know what my own fate will be, but I want to stay in this place for a while longer and chat with this little friend." ”

Ning Yanran and Cao Zhiyi's faces were very solemn, they didn't retreat, the hand holding the pistol subconsciously tightened a little, and the knuckles looked a little pale because they had maintained a movement for a long time.

As if sensing everyone's thoughts, Shangguan Huasheng shook the gadget in his hand, smiled, and said: "I put a lot of explosives in this yard, as long as you come over, I will press the switch in my hand, the consequences you know, I am an old man buried in loess to the neck, it doesn't matter, but what about you?" You're still young, so it doesn't seem very cost-effective to die with me. ”

Hearing this, Ning Yanran and Cao Zhiyi's faces sank, they had already seen that what Shangguan Huasheng was holding in his hand was indeed the remote control of explosives, they did not have the slightest suspicion, Shangguan Huasheng was telling a lie, the two of them looked at each other again, and then Ning Yanran waved her hand to everyone, slowly retreated to the back, and returned to the position where they stood at the beginning.

After they stood still, Ning Yanran whispered something to Cao Zhiyi who was standing beside him, Cao Zhiyi's face was very solemn, he took a deep look at Ning Yanran and Xu Lang not far away, and then nodded heavily, he withdrew his pistol, turned around and left here, and after a while, Cao Zhiyi took the criminal police guarding outside and began to look around in the orphanage, obviously, they were looking for the explosives that Shangguan Huasheng hid in the orphanage.

Once the explosives really explode, many people will die, Shangguan Huasheng will die, Xu Lang will die, Ning Yanran will die, those special police and criminal police in the courtyard will die, and the crowd who stayed outside the cordon to watch the excitement may also die, Ning Yanran didn't dare to risk everyone's lives, so he asked Cao Zhiyi to take people to search for explosives, and Shangguan Huasheng saw all this in his eyes, he did not stop Cao Zhiyi's actions, but took a deep look at Ning Yan, and it was just a glance.

Xu Lang didn't leave after lighting a cigarette for Shangguan Huasheng, he sat at the other end of the bench, smoking with a flat expression, he didn't seem to have seen the scene just now.

In fact, the reason why Xu Lang accepted Shangguan Watson's cigarettes just now and came over was very simple, that is, he was ready to find an opportunity to subdue Shangguan Watson, and when he took the cigarette and lit a cigarette for Shangguan Watson, Shangguan Watson whispered in Xu Lang's ear: "I have a bomb on me." ”

It was precisely because of such a simple sentence that Xu Lang gave up his initial plan, he chose to stand still, fortunately, Ning Yanran did not make a stupid decision, otherwise, everything might really be like Shangguan Watson said, he would really detonate the bomb.

The scene was quiet again, except for the sound of Cao Zhiyi leading people to rummage through animals in the yard, the scene was quiet and scary.

"You are really good, even better than I imagined, I didn't expect that among the children back then, you were the best one and the most promising, and you actually became a criminal investigation consultant." Shangguan Huasheng looked at Xu Lang and continued to pull the routine, as if he didn't pay attention to the actions of Cao Zhiyi and the others.

Xu Lang tilted his head sideways, leaned lazily on the bench, put one hand on the back of the chair, looked at Shangguan Huasheng, and asked expressionlessly: "When Qi Lang died, I was at the scene, at that time, who was the black shadow I saw on the roof of the building?" Is it the killer who died in the hospital, or Gong Liqin's lawyer, or the person who died with Gong Liqin? ”

"His name is Zhang Huai, he is a lawyer, and he is also an orphan, and he walked out of this courtyard in the first place." Shangguan Watson patiently explained.

Xu Lang knew the answer, and he continued to ask, "What about the other two?" What are they called? ”

"The person who died in the hospital was called Syngman Rhee, a gangster, but he was mixed in the Northeast, and the mix was average, as for the last person you mentioned, his name was Zhou Qi, he was a truck driver, they were all orphans, and they were all children who walked out of this yard."

Xu Lang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are they all 'Master Chang' people?" ”

Hearing Xu Lang ask, Shangguan Huasheng was stunned, his smoking action paused slightly, he glanced at Xu Lang with deep meaning, as if he wanted to see through the inner thoughts of the young man in front of him, however, he didn't see anything except for a young and expressionless face, so he sighed and said: "Hey, they can only be regarded as half, or rather, they once had the opportunity to join the organization, but unfortunately, they didn't succeed, they were just the remnants of the eliminated, if it weren't for the pity of me." , they are long dead. ”

Xu Lang hadn't taken a puff since the cigarette was lit, just sandwiched it between his fingers and let the cigarette burn slowly on its own.

"Niu Hong and them are also the defective products that have been eliminated?" Xu Lang asked.

Shangguan Huasheng nodded and said, "Yes, but after they were eliminated, they knew that they would die, so they united and fled." ”

Speaking of this, the corners of Shangguan Watson's mouth flashed a sarcastic arc, and he continued: "They thought they could escape from here, it was their luck, hehe didn't want to think about it, who was in charge here in the first place, when they fled, I watched them silently in that place." ”

Shangguan Watson turned his head as he spoke, stretching out his finger and pointing in the direction of the dark third-floor archives.

Xu Lang looked in the direction of Shangguan Huasheng's finger, he only glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze, continued to look at Shangguan Huasheng and asked, "Since they are all defective products that have been eliminated, then why do you want to keep them?" Aren't you afraid that they'll go out and leak your organization's secrets? ”

"Your organization? Xu Yi, have you been a police officer for too long and have forgotten your identity? You are one of us, what is your organization? It's our organization. Shangguan Huasheng looked at Xu Lang with a smile.

Xu Lang was silent and didn't answer, he knew who Shangguan Huasheng was talking about, he was talking about Xu Qi, not himself, it seems that Shangguan Huasheng didn't seem to know the relationship between himself and Xu Qi, which made Xu Lang feel a little strange, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood the key.

Xu Yi and himself are twin brothers, except for a few people who know, few people know, even Xu Lang has just knew, as to why Shangguan Watson doesn't know, Xu Lang quickly seemed to understand.

Maybe it was seeing that Xu Lang was silent, a confident smile appeared on the corner of Shangguan Watson's mouth, and he slowly explained: "People are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless, raise a cat, raise a dog, raise a dog for a long time, there will be feelings, not to mention a few people, these people, I watched them grow up, they failed to enter the organization, I am very disappointed, very disappointed, before, at the beginning, the people who were eliminated would die, I didn't care, after all, for the safety of the organization, what is the death of some people?" Just, later"

"Hey"

Shangguan Watson said this, sighed, and then continued: "Later, maybe it's because of age, when they get old, their hearts will soften, and they don't want to lose their lives when they see them at a young age, so I let them go behind the organization's back and let them fend for themselves." ”

"Will the organization promise to let them go?" Xu Lang asked puzzled.

Shangguan Huasheng shook his head and said: "At first, I didn't agree, it's just that I have helped the organization do a lot of things and made a lot of contributions over the years, so for the sake of my face, they temporarily let those people go, but they want me to keep an eye on these children all the time, once they leak the secrets of the organization, they will die." ”

"In other words, they didn't really flee the organization, but were taken in by you for your own use, right?"

Shangguan Huasheng nodded and said, "So to speak. ”

"So, when you need them, they're going to do things for you, right?"

"Yes."

"To help you, even at the cost of your life?"

"If it weren't for me, they would have died a long time ago, and it's enough to keep them alive for so many years." Shangguan Watson seemed to be saying something that was right, as if at this moment, he was the God who controlled everything.

Xu Lang fell silent. Shangguan Watson also fell silent, and the scene was silent again, and Cao Zhiyi and others had already searched for several explosives, but no one knew how many explosives Shangguan Watson, a madman, had hidden in this small orphanage, and now the explosives that Cao Zhiyi searched out were enough to raze the building to the ground, which made the police's mood particularly solemn.

After being silent for a while, Xu Lang thought for a while and asked a crucial question, "Why are you doing this?" If you left here more than a decade ago, why are you coming back now? ”

The cigarette had already burned out, Shangguan Watson did not continue to smoke, he looked at Xu Lang, hesitated, like an old man, sighed, and said: "Hey, I'm old, I don't know when I'm going to die, the future belongs to you young people, I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid of what to do with my children after I die, the eldest died not long after he was born, the second is now living well in the organization, I am also very relieved, the only thing that worries me is Xiaojing's girl, I can't rest assured of her." ”

Hearing Shangguan Huasheng say this, Xu Lang frowned, he looked at the other party and asked, "Shangguan Jing is not a person in the organization?" ”

This time, Shangguan Huasheng did not look at Xu Lang, but looked at the clear blue sky, and a complicated and dazed expression appeared on his face, although this expression appeared very briefly, but Xu Lang still saw it.

"I've been busy with that organization all my life, and so have my two sons, as for Xiaojing, I don't know if she's a member of the organization, I don't know, I hope she is, because, as long as I live, her second brother lives, and you live, she can live well, but I don't want her to be."

"Why?" Xu Lang asked with a frown.

"Do you know what the organization of 'Master Chang' exists for?" Shangguan Watson did not directly answer Xu Lang's question, but asked rhetorically.
