When Xu Lang and Ning Yanran fell into silence, Ning Yanran drove silently, but Xu Lang was thinking about another thing.

Xu Lang was in the dissection room, when he saw Wang Hong's corpse, he accidentally saw a familiar tattoo, it was a scorpion, the position of the tattoo was in the position of the tiger's mouth on the left hand, the shape of the scorpion tattoo was very weird, the two pliers of the scorpion were no different from the normal tattoo, the pliers were facing the position of the tiger's mouth, and the strange thing was that the tail of the scorpion was extraordinarily long, two-thirds larger than the entire body of the scorpion, and the tail of the scorpion was tattooed all over the back of the entire index finger of Wang Hong's left hand.

In today's era, tattoos are no longer a rare thing, in the past, when it comes to tattoos, the first thing that comes to people's minds is those who worship Guan Gong's old boys, gang members, and now, there are many people with tattoos on the body, what kind of tattoos are, in addition to the traditional over-the-shoulder dragon, downhill tiger, lone wolf, some other messy, different shapes of tattoos have appeared, and tattoos are not only men will tattoo, some women will also tattoo, in the past when solving cases, Some tattoos will be found on many corpses to a greater or lesser extent, and the police handling the case have long been accustomed to this.

The reason why Xu Lang noticed the scorpion tattoo on Wang Hong's left hand was mainly because not long ago, on the day of the 7.12 case, when Xu Lang was hijacked by Xu Qi, Xu Lang also saw an identical tattoo on the back of Xu Hong's left hand in the process of struggling, which was also a weird scorpion tattoo, but Wang Hong's is much smaller than Xu Hong's, and the color of Wang Hong's scorpion tattoo is also much lighter, which makes Xu Lang, who has always been quick-witted, have to think about more things.

Xu Lang sat in the car, a blood-red sunset shone on the earth, putting on a golden coat for this cold steel city, and the golden sunset sprinkled on Xu Lang's face, dyeing his pale face into a golden yellow, which looked particularly demonic.

Thinking of this tattoo, Xu Lang remembered the past many years ago.

This scorpion tattoo, Xu Lang is not the first time to see it.

Xu Lang's father, Xu Yuan, used to be a senior criminal policeman in S City, although Xu Yuan spent very little time with Xu Lang, but, in Xu Lang's home, Xu Yuan put a lot of books related to criminal investigation and solving cases, Xu Lang was very active and naughty when he was a child, Xu Yuan often worked overtime and was not at home, and his mother Zhang Lan was a surgeon, and overtime was inevitable, and when Xu Lang was young, he often turned things into a mess at home, and his sister Xu Chan was like a little nanny, following Xu Lang's back, Whenever Xu Lang turned things into a mess, she would carefully clean up in the back, in order to prevent her parents from coming back to see them, so as to blame Xu Lang.

Xu Lang remembered that once, he took advantage of Xu Yuan's absence, Zhang Lan worked overtime, and when his sister was doing her homework, Xu Lang sneaked into Xu Yuan's study, stepped on the bench, and messed up the study. Xu Lang was still young at the time, and when he saw a photo falling out of the book, he was naturally curious, but when he picked up the photo and looked at it, he only glanced at it, and Xu Lang was frightened, and Xu Lang cried on the spot.

When Xu Lang was scared to cry by the photo, it happened that Xu Yuan and Zhang Lan went home together, and as soon as the two of them opened the door, they heard Xu Lang's crying voice, which frightened Xu Lang's parents.

Although Xu Lang was naughty and active when he was a child, as a parent, he naturally knew best, Xu Lang cried very little from childhood to adulthood, whether it was Xu Lang doing something wrong, Xu Yuan deliberately reprimanded him with a straight face, or his sister Xu Chan had no way to be mischievous by Xu Lang, and when he beat him, Xu Lang never cried, so when Xu Yuan and his wife heard Xu Lang's crying, they immediately came in nervously.

When they followed the sound to the study and saw the messy and messy study, they found that the young Xu Lang was sitting slumped in the middle of a pile of famous books, holding a black and white photo tightly in his small hands, and a pink little face was full of tears.

The child cried, and the parents coaxed the child It was the most normal and basic reaction, so Xu Yuan and they began to coax the young Xu Lang at that time, and the photo was also taken away by Xu Yuan and I don't know where to put it.

Children are small and ignorant, especially boys, who have a big heart and think simply, the young Xu Lang was comforted by the kind words of his parents, and soon stopped crying, he lay in Zhang Lan's warm arms and fell asleep, but, since then, no matter how disorganized Xu Lang turned the house over, he never saw the black and white photo again, including later, after the accident of his parents, Xu Lang and his sister Xu Chan did not see the photo when they were sorting out their parents' relics.

If it weren't for the scorpion tattoo found on Wang Hong's corpse in the autopsy room today, many years ago, exactly the same tattoo as the scorpion tattoo on the black and white photo that his father put at home, Xu Lang might have forgotten this dusty matter in the depths of his memory.

A month ago, when Xu Lang was hijacked by Xu Yi in the cornfield outside Qijiazhuang, at that time, he accidentally saw the tattoo of a scorpion when he was struggling, the situation was urgent, Xu Lang was seriously injured again, he didn't care much, Xu Lang thought that the tattoo might just be a tattoo, and later, during the time Xu Lang was imprisoned, Xu Lang spent most of his time in a deep sleep, and every time he woke up, all he thought about was how to find a way to get out of that ghost place, I didn't think about the tattoo at all, and now, after listening to Ning Yanran's summary and analysis of their case during this time, when he saw a similar tattoo again, he had to make Xu Lang think about it more.

According to Ning Yanran's investigation results, Wang Hong was the number two person in Gao Chenghua's criminal gang back then, Master Chang, Wang Hong had a special scorpion tattoo on his left hand, and Bu Zimo told Ning Yanran before he died that Master Chang was not one person, but two people, one of whom was Wang Hong, and the other was Xu Lang, or Xu Qi, and Xu Qi also had the same scorpion tattoo on Xu Qi's left hand, is this a coincidence?

Xu Lang shook his head, thinking that it could not be a coincidence, if the two people were tattooed with common over-the-shoulder dragons, downhill tigers, etc., Xu Lang didn't think it was strange, but there were few people with scorpion tattoos, and they were tattooed on the left hand of the tiger's mouth, and the shape of the scorpion was so special, Xu Lang didn't think it was a coincidence.

If not a coincidence, then what is the point of this particular scorpion tattoo? Isn't this an ordinary tattoo, but a special mark? If a scorpion tattoo is a special mark, then what is it? What does it symbolize? Could it be a symbol of Master Chang's identity? However, if this is the case, there is still no way to fully explain it.

No matter what the identity and person of Xu Lang who looks very similar to himself is, he is just a man who is less than thirty years old after all, more than 20 years ago, Xu Lang was only four or five years old, just sensible, Xu Qi and Xu Lang are about the same age, at that time, Xu Qi should have been only four or five years old, at that time, this weird scorpion tattoo appeared in Xu Lang's home, what does this mean?

Xu Yuan, no matter whether he used to be a good policeman or a wife murderer, at least, for the family, although Xu Yuan is not a qualified father, but he is not bad, Xu Yuan is different from most parents, his mind is very open-minded, Xu Lang was very naughty when he was a child, he likes to mess around, if it is placed in an ordinary family, the child is so naughty and nonsense, after being found by his parents, he will definitely reprimand and scold, but Xu Yuan rarely criticizes Xu Lang, first, Xu Lang was still young at that time, and he was just sensible, Second, even if he criticized Xu Lang, Xu Lang was so young, he might not be able to understand this.

Before Xu Yuan had an accident, no matter how smoky and messy Xu Lang and Xu Chan's sisters and brothers made their home, Xu Yuan rarely talked about them, but there was still education, in Xu Lang's impression, since that time he was scared to cry when he turned out the black and white photo in Xu Yuan's study, Xu Lang found that the family has changed a lot since then, and some of the things he saw before have disappeared inexplicably. Xu Yuan never came back with a photo, and, since that incident, whenever his parents were not at home, Xu Chan would follow him inch by inch, although, Xu Chan was still the same as before, accompanying Xu Lang to mess around and clean up the mess with Xu Lang, but, whenever Xu Lang wanted to go to the study, Xu Chan would stop him from going, but, at that time, Xu Lang was still young, he didn't understand this, he didn't take it to heart, but, now that I think about it, many of them have been slowly blurred over time, and the dust is a memory in the depths of memory, It slowly became clear.

Thinking of this, Xu Lang felt more and more headaches.

Since the 7.12 case, Xu Lang has felt that everything he has experienced is indescribably weird.

First, on the day of the 7.12 incident, he saw with his own eyes a man who looked exactly like himself, who was Xu Yi? What does it have to do with yourself? Why did that person say that his sister Xu Chan died, he knew the truth?

Second, after the 7.12 case, he was held hostage by Xu Yi, the car overturned, and he should have died after being seriously injured, but when he woke up again, he was imprisoned in a closed environment, and met two people who seemed to know each other, who were these old and young, a man and a woman? What is their purpose in saving themselves?

Third, he disappeared inexplicably, and he came back inexplicably, he didn't know where he was when he disappeared, and when he came back, he didn't know how he came back, which made Xu Lang, who has always liked to control his own destiny, feel that his fate is no longer in his control for the first time.

Fourth, the 7.12 case and the Bu Zimo case are closely related to the Gao Chenghua case five years ago.

Fifth, why do Wang Hong and Xu Yi have a special scorpion tattoo on their left hands? And this tattoo is so similar to the scorpion tattoo on the black and white photo that Xu Yuan hid in the book more than 20 years ago? What's the connection?

Sixth, since Xu Lang resigned and left the public security system, after assisting Ning Yanran in cracking several cases with a criminal investigation consultant, Xu Lang heard from those people more than once that that person is back, in S City, right next to him, Xu Lang has never figured out who this person they are talking about, at first, Xu Lang thought that the person they were talking about would be the murderer of Xu Chan, but now, it seems that it is not so simple.

Xu Lang has too many questions to answer, but, The 7.12 case that happened now, and the Bu Zimo case, all the people related to the case are basically dead, and the case related to Gao Chenghua five years ago, in addition to Gao Chenghua's whereabouts are now unknown, the people in Gao Chenghua's criminal gang are all dead, and the only one who survives is Xie Yongjun, who has become a police special agent, but Xie Yongjun has now become a vegetative person, no different from a dead person, Xu Lang's questions have no way to be answered, if he wants to know the answer and know the truth, only by relying on himself step by step to solve these current questions can he get the answer he wants.

Bu Zimo case, he killed a total of 16 people, it is not impossible to say that he is a gangster in the 21st century, whether it is a taxi driver, or someone else in Gao Chenghua's criminal gang, or people like Zhu Pan, Qian Kunpeng, Liang Zihui and others who have some connection with Gao Chenghua, they are all dead, maybe they know something, maybe they don't know anything, at least what they know may have nothing to do with what Xu Lang wants to know, but now that people are dead, no matter what they know or not, Xu Lang has no way to know, and Bu Zimo, the culprit who created all this with his own hands, also chose to shoot himself before Xu Lang came back, and Xu Lang seems to have no way to get the truth.

Xu Lang wanted to see the woman named Pu Wen, not on the spur of the moment, in addition to suspecting that Pu Wen was Bu Zimo's sister Bu Xinwen, he also wanted to know why Bu Zimo embarked on the road of crime, only by figuring out this, Xu Lang could investigate the true identity of Master Chang and know what Bu Zimo knew.

In fact After the 7.12 case, Xu Lang's disappearance and reappearance, no one raised objections within the police, such as Zhao Gaoyang, the captain of the Chengdong Criminal Investigation Detachment, although at today's case summary and analysis meeting, after Xu Lang's explanation, Zhao Gaoyang did not continue to ask at that time, but Xu Lang believes that Zhao Gaoyang will definitely not give up the investigation of himself, doubting everything is a necessary quality for every criminal policeman, Xu Lang was the same before, and now, it is just that Xu Lang is in that position to be suspected.

Xu Lang wants to investigate the truth of Bu Zimo's case, unravel the secrets of the 7.12 case, and the Gao Chenghua case five years ago, he is not entirely for the police, for the country, he is also for himself, only by figuring out the truth of everything can he clear his suspicions, and can he completely shut up those who doubt him, instead of relying on Lu Ye to shut up these doubters like now, this is not what Xu Lang wants, nor what he wants to see.

Thinking of this, Xu Lang, whose eyes were still very sloppy, gradually brightened up at this moment, as if the previous Xu Lang had returned, but Xu Lang himself didn't notice it.

Although Ning Yanran had been looking ahead and driving quietly, the corner of her eyes had been paying attention to Xu Lang's changes.

Xu Lang's bizarre disappearance and sudden appearance are not only suspicious of Zhao Gaoyang and others, but also Ning Yanran, although Lu Ye and they have not done anything to Xu Lang for the time being, but Ning Yanran knows that no matter where Xu Lang appears now, there are people secretly monitoring Xu Lang, and these people may be people Xu Lang knows and is familiar with.

Ning Yanran stayed at Xu Lang's house last night, not without reason, in addition to her own emotional selfishness, she still wants to know some other things from Xu Lang's mouth, if it weren't for the fact that there are still a lot of things to do now, Ning Yanran will definitely go to Lu Ye and ask to follow Xu Lang 24 hours a day, now, Xu Lang takes the initiative to participate in the investigation of the case, no matter whether Xu Lang helps with the investigation of the case, at least, she can let Ning Yanran get some things she wants to know from Xu Lang openly.

Ning Yanran knew this in her heart, Ning Yanran believed that Xu Lang's EQ and IQ must also know, but neither of them said anything.

When Ning Yanran found out about Xu Lang's emotional changes, Ning Yanran felt both relieved and had an indescribable sense of danger, relieved because Ning Yanran had been in contact with Xu Lang for more than a year, she had become accustomed to the feeling of Xu Lang by her side, and felt dangerous that Ning Yanran felt that she couldn't understand Xu Lang before, but at least she could guess what Xu Lang was thinking, but after Xu Lang came back this time, Ning Yanran was surprised to find that she couldn't understand Xu Lang at all, and she didn't know what he was thinking. Just like when they first met, although this feeling of danger was very faint, it always lingered in Ning Yanran's heart and lingered.
