The sky is getting dark, and the countdown to the lives of the two children is entering. Several police cars are speeding towards Huanshan Park, racing against time to rescue them.

At this moment, under the cover of night, the Huanshan Park is not as clean as the day, but more ethereal and weird. In the lush forests of the back mountain, a dim light was hidden inside, and the sound of people talking could be faintly heard from a seemingly dilapidated log cabin.

"That's all you say, why hasn't the 'master' come yet?" A large man paced back and forth in the room with some trepidation.

Another middle-aged woman handed him a cigarette and told him to be restless, "You think he's just like us, just sitting and waiting to die." The more capable people are, they must be very busy. ”

"That's it, that's it!" The rest chimed in.

Because it is far from the city and has been abandoned for a long time, there is no electricity in this small cabin, so it can only be lit by candles. And in the very center of the room, the two children were tied back to back, it was the missing Lu Xiaoshi and Sha Xiaowu.

They were taped with tape around them, surrounded by strange candles, and the two men were watching in horror as the people sitting around them, weak and helpless like two lambs to the slaughter.

The middle-aged woman saw Lu Xiaoshi's fear, she deliberately walked over with a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then spit all the smoke on her face. The little girl was so uncomfortable with the smell of smoke that she wanted to cough but couldn't cough it out, and her whole face was flushed.

And the woman seemed to be enjoying this moment, she reached out and pinched Lu Xiaoshi's face, and said softly, "Little girl, don't be afraid. You must know that it is your honor, and we will all remember you two in the future. Later, if you feel pain, close your eyes. Close your eyes and it won't hurt. ”

Lu Xiaoshi shook her head from side to side, trying to break her face out of the man's hand. However, where is she the opponent of that person when she is bound, she can only be slaughtered obediently.

"Hey, you're okay, the above explained, you can't talk to these two dolls. Don't wrap yourself in for a while, and then you won't be able to do it. The accomplice on the side reminded her.

"Oops, I see. It's true, but it's just that the above asked you to organize us, and you really used yourself as a character. The woman retreated to her place, muttering somewhat unconvinced.

The others also had this scruple in their hearts, and to be honest, no one knew how many 'pills' they would be able to get after the sacrifice. What if the wolves have more meat and less meat, and they don't have enough points.

For a while, there was an invisible smoke in the cabin, and everyone hoped that everyone else would disappear so that they could have more 'pills'. There was only one man, sitting in the corner, watching coldly, as if the strife in the house had nothing to do with him.

People, once they have greedy thoughts, they will give rise to evil thoughts. These people, who were originally on the same front, now have their own ghosts, thinking about how to get rid of the others.

"Knock knock", the knock on the door sounded, it was agreed by them in advance, two heavy and one light. In an instant, everyone's eyes were on the door. The big man walked over and opened the door, but he froze there.

I saw him hold his hands high above his head and slowly retreat into the house. For a while, the heavily armed policemen rushed in under the leadership of Xiao Rongzheng.

The people in the room were terminally ill, and they were only desperate to live longer. So, it didn't take long to be subdued.

Cheng Han stood at the door, as if waiting for someone. Watching the haggard prisoners being escorted out, I couldn't help but sigh people's desire for survival. A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes and an elegant windbreaker appeared in front of her, and Cheng Han smiled slightly, "Mr. Ah Liang, we meet again." ”

The two children finally returned to their parents, and Lu Zhongren and his wife hugged their lost daughter with great emotion in their hearts. When he saw Zhou Chuyuan, who also came to the police station, he thought that he subconsciously doubted him at the beginning, and couldn't help but feel that he was too narrow-minded. Moreover, after hearing that Zhou Chuyuan had provided a lot of help in the investigation of the case, he was even more ashamed.

He walked to Zhou Chuyuan's side and bowed solemnly, "Brother Zhou, I'm here to thank you for my child." This matter is something I did wrong, and it should have caused a lot of trouble to Brother Zhou. Otherwise, when my children are recuperated, I will be the boss and let the children thank you in person. ”

For Zhou Chu, this kind of thing was just a gesture, and he just wanted to refuse, but seeing Lu Zhongren's sincere attitude, it was not easy to disappoint his interest, "It's just a small matter, everything is still based on children." You should pay attention to the psychology of your children, and don't leave any shadows. ”

"That's for sure." Lu Zhongren thanked him again before returning to his wife and children.

Because this case involved the police forces of the two cities of AB, Xu Benli, as the director of the department, was also present in person. He saw Zhou Chuyuan's figure from a distance, and wanted to call him but held back, and finally just opened his mouth.

And Zhou Chuyuan also noticed Xu Benli, his former boss, who had not seen him for many years, but his spirit was still the same. He shook his head at Xu Benli, then smiled, and quietly disappeared into the crowd while everyone was not paying attention.

At this moment, Peng Bu, who was also hidden in the crowd, looked at Lu Xiaoshi, who was curled up in the arms of his parents and cried bitterly, and couldn't bear it, raised his feet, and wanted to step forward and apologize to her. But no matter what, it can't take this step. Eventually, he left the scene in silence without leaving a word.

"You, you guessed it in the first place?" Even with handcuffs on his hands, Ah Liang's butler still sat up straight. He looked at Cheng Han with an indifferent face, and thought to himself that he had underestimated this girl.

Cheng Han shook his head, "That's not it, I suspected Mr. Cui himself at first." However, when I found out that you value that bottle of medicine so much, I felt that something was wrong. ”

"This matter, please, has nothing to do with Mr., it's all my own opinion. If there is any punishment, I will bear it alone, and don't implicate him. When he said this, Ah Liang looked worried, this is the first time that this perfect butler has taken off the perfect mask, and his true feelings are revealed.

"Don't worry, of course we know that this has nothing to do with Mr. Cui. But ......" Cheng Han paused deliberately, "You have done so much for him, don't you want him to know at all?" ”

Ah Liang rubbed his eyebrows and shook his head a little tiredly, "What is there to say about this, it's just that it didn't succeed with good intentions, why bother saying it with such fanfare." ”

"Do you want to hide it from your own father?"

"What did you say!" Ah Liang's mask cracked a little.

Cheng Han took a post-birth certificate and put it in front of him, "This is your birth certificate, your mother is Mr. Cui's girlfriend a long time ago." You have been by your biological father's side for so many years, don't you have the slightest intention of recognizing your ancestors and returning to your ancestors? ”

"What's there to say about that," Ah Liang sighed, "he has long been married and had children, and he may have forgotten what my mother looked like." My mother said on her deathbed that people should look forward and not know that I am not his fault, so that I should not be greedy and not hold a grudge against him.

Therefore, I worked as a housekeeper by his side for more than ten years. I'm really not greedy, just accompany him and take care of him, and I'll be content. However, I really didn't expect his health to be so bad. ”

Ah Liang covered his eyes in pain, not wanting to cry in front of so many people, "I'm not a superstitious person, but all the doctors say that there is no hope, so I can only give it a go." ”

"Didn't you think that it was illegal for you to participate in such a thing?"

"Know, know from the beginning. But so what. This is my only hope, even if it says I want my life, I will give it, what is it. ”

Cheng Han sighed, it seemed that all the participants in this case had their own hardships. Survival is the instinct of human survival, and no one will feel that they have done something wrong.

However, their lives were not based on the loss of their lives. Sacrificing others for oneself is just a selfish dream.

"You're not him, how do you know what he wants." As soon as Cheng Han's voice fell, Cui Jieyi's voice came through the microphone.

"Ah Liang, I always knew that you were my child, so I kept you by my side, just to try my best to compensate you. Hey, you're a good boy too, and you're doing all this for me. However, all I want is to be able to be with you in the last period of my life, watching the sunrise, watching the sunset, and drinking coffee. That's it, that's it. ”

At this moment, Cui Jay is in the next room under the support of Cui Shunyu, watching everything that happens here. Ah Liang raised his head, looking around for his father's voice. However, in front of them was a one-way mirror, and the people inside could not see the outside.

"I want you, sir, to live a long life and be blessed. You see, isn't that medicine already working? His eyes were red and his voice choked.

"Silly boy, my body, I still know. At this age, all the parts are broken and cannot be repaired. That bottle of medicine is just the spiritual pillar you gave me, and when the time comes, I still have to leave. ”

"Sir! You won't, you won't. Ah Liang didn't want to accept this fact, and kept shaking his head and denying it.

Cui Jie Yi looked at him with kind eyes, "What is your name, Mr., since you know everything, you still don't change your words?" ”

Ah Liang didn't know how to speak for a while, and after a while, he stumbled and said, "Father, father." ”

"Hey~" Cui Jay agreed, and his eyes turned red. This is a father who is more than forty years late, and both of them have mixed feelings in their hearts.

"Ah Liang, life and death have a fixed decision, don't hurt others because of me. Okay, I'll be waiting for you at home. After saying these words, he couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he left tremblingly with Cui Shunyu's support.

Ah Liang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, looked directly into Cheng Han's eyes and said, "Peng Shitong is not the real mastermind behind the scenes, I told him this idea." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Xu Ranran on the side was a little puzzled.

"Since my husband was seriously ill, I began to look up some ancient remedies and wanted to treat him. Until I found a way to continue my life, but I was not proficient in that technique, and there was no way to carry out the plan.

Therefore, I found Peng Shitong and asked him to help configure the potion I needed, and deliberately exaggerated the method of prolonging life, saying that it was superb, so that Peng Shitong was selfish.

He is a proud person, but also eager for quick success, and he wants to get ahead. Now that such a good opportunity is put in front of him, he will definitely not refuse.

As long as he does everything well, I only have to kill them all, and I can reap the benefits of the fisherman. That's why you've found a sharp knife on me, not for those two high school students, but for all of them. Without the burden in his heart, Steward Ah Liang didn't care about the consequences, so he told all his plans.

Xiao Rongzheng looked at him and said, "Do you know the consequences of what you say? ”

"I don't know, but I don't want to know. Again, everything I do, I bear it myself. ”

Coming out of the interrogation room, Cheng Han saw Cui Shunyu standing there, as if waiting for her. Xiao Rongzheng also saw it, and his face turned black in an instant, but Cheng Han also told him that this time it was Cui Shunyu who reminded them, otherwise, they would not have found the two children so smoothly.

"Don't delay too long, I'll be waiting for you in the office." After Xiao Rongzheng finished speaking, he walked into the office quickly, for fear that he would not be able to help but regret it in the next second. Cheng Han looked at the back of him leaving, pursed his lips, and laughed.

"You have a good career and love." Cui Shunyu stepped forward and looked at Cheng Han with raised eyebrows.

Cheng Han didn't deny it, "Yes, there are not many people like Officer Xiao who are as good, responsible and handsome as Officer Xiao, so you have to grasp it when you see it." ”

"Aren't you curious why I'm telling you these things?"

"You are just the psychology of a spectator, you know the secrets of everyone in your family, but you don't want to interfere with anything, so you provide us with information and use our hands to achieve your goals. Last time, it was like that, and it's the same this time. Cheng Han slowly lost his smile.

Cui Shunyu does not deny that due to the half-race relationship, his eyebrows and eyes are very deep, but such eyes hide too many things. And Cheng Han doesn't like such a person who can't see clearly at a glance, it's too complicated, and it's too tiring to guess.

"Aren't you angry?"

"Angry? What is there to be angry about. Cheng Han shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Let's just take what we need, what you want is the result, we need clues." And you have given so much useful and truthful information, what can we say! ”

"Haha", Cui Shunyu laughed in a low voice, "In this way, I think too much about myself!" That's right, you've never been different from everyone else, so how can I guess what you're thinking. ”

Cheng Han was obviously a little uncomfortable with his ambiguous words, she didn't want to continue this meaningless conversation, "Mr. Cui, go back quickly, your father is still waiting for you in the car." I still have some things to take care of, so I'll go first. ”

Without waiting for Cui Shunyu to say anything, Cheng Han turned around and left. Cui Shunyu looked at Cheng Han's back and just laughed self-deprecatingly. I thought that my psychological tactics were superb, but as a result, people had already seen through all the tricks and fooled themselves to play.

It was already half past one o'clock in the morning after all the aftermath work, and everyone who had been spinning for several days said goodnight to each other and went home to catch up on sleep. Cheng Han slowly packed her things, and waited until everyone was gone before she walked out of the police station.

"I thought you were going to sleep here today." Xiao Rongzheng snuggled in the car and teased her.

Cheng Han walked over, stretched out his hand to pick up Xiao Rongzheng's chin, and said in a light tone, "It's not impossible, but when I think of a beautiful woman waiting for me outside, I don't want to live up to his infatuation." ”

"Hmph", Xiao Rongzheng turned his face to the side and said sourly, "I don't know which beauty it is!" There are so many beautiful women in you, you are busy! ”

Looking at Xiao Rongzheng's childish and slightly aggrieved appearance, Cheng Han felt a little funny, put his arms around his neck, and gently pulled him down, "What, are we Officer Xiao jealous now?" ”

She leaned into Xiao Rongzheng's ear and laughed softly. Cheng Han's breathing made Xiao Rongzheng's ears itch, and he secretly complained in his heart, didn't this woman see that she was angry, and laughed.

angrily blocked Cheng Han's laughter with a kiss, and Cheng Han was not surprised, but just responded to him. The hot hearts of the two people seemed to warm the night of early winter.

It wasn't until both of them were having trouble breathing that they let go of each other. Xiao Rongzheng hugged Cheng Han in his arms and kissed her hair, "I'm still angry!" ”

Such soft words, coming out of Xiao Rongzheng's mouth, had a slight sense of disobedience. Cheng Han looked up at him and said with a smile, "Then, what compensation do you want?" ”

Xiao Rongzheng's face was flushed thinking about those shy pictures, and even the roots of his ears became hot. However, somehow, the picture of Cheng Han leaving alone suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Hanhan, are you angry? Because I didn't believe your word for it the first time? When he asked this, his heart was very worried.

Cheng Han was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "No, what am I doing when I'm angry?" ”

"It's just that I've heard that other people's girlfriends think it's wrong for their boyfriend not to be on their side, so I thought......" He didn't say any more.

"You also said that it's someone else's girlfriend, so am I someone else's?"

Xiao Rongzheng shook his head firmly.

"Isn't that it. The two of us have different starting points, but they are both for the progress of the case, and it is understandable that we have different views. Am I going to waste so much of my precious time trying to convince you?

Besides, both of us fell in love for the first time when we were old, and if we still play some tricks on their children, wouldn't it be in vain to delay our precious time together?

After this case, I really deeply realized how fragile the human body is, and no matter how hard we try, we can't compete with birth, old age, sickness and death. We never know what tomorrow will bring, and instead of spending it in a quarrel, it is better to grasp the present and cherish the people in front of us. ”。

She smiled sweetly, her eyes were crooked, and Xiao Rongzheng felt as if her heart had melted into her smiling eyes. He hugged Cheng Han tightly, yes, cherished the people in front of him.
