Volume XVIII
Thirty-five go home
Sakura's face flushed with blush. It's just that. At this time. No matter how delicate and beautiful Sakura's face is. The layers of redness could not hide the face that was a little distorted and a little terrible. And to see the fruit of this face. But inexplicably lowered his head guiltily. Subconsciously dodged at the same time. Seeing all this, Tang Peng couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart. He glanced at Sakura, whose face was ugly, and Fruit, who bowed her head and was silent. He turned his head and looked at it, as if he didn't notice it in the slightest. Cheng Shuai, who is still immersed in his pride. Quippy question:
"I said. Aren't you fool afraid of retribution?"
"Retribution. Hahahaha." Cheng Shuai suddenly burst into a burst of laughter. Then he smugly pointed at himself with his thumb." It's not Lao Tzu boasting. Lao Tzu lives in retribution every day. It's been numb for a long time."
“”
"And. My body has also acquired a mysterious and accurate ability to predict danger just like it does now. My body tells me. After 0.8 seconds, my head will be smashed by a UFO thrown at a 45-degree angle from behind me."
The voice did not fall. Cheng Shuai suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Then he fell straight down on the table. Back of the head. Sticking a high heel in his hand
Behind. Sakura is barefoot. His face was as black as a grim reaper:
"Slippery hands."
Tang Peng looked speechlessly at Cheng Shuai, who was lying on the table and constantly twitching. There was a hint of sympathy for this idiot in the depths of my heart." I say. Sakura. Are you starting slightly"
"Yes." Sakura's eyes swept over. Tang Peng immediately didn't dare to speak again. What do you want to say?"
"Nothing." Tang Peng glanced at Cheng Shuai. replied decisively. I just think you could do it a little harder."
"Damn. You bastard and you don't have a conscience." On the table. Hearing Tang Peng's Cheng Shuai, who fell into the well like this. I jumped up in anger. Towards Tang Peng, he was about to pounce.
Tang Peng pulled out the high heels behind Cheng Shuai's head without changing his face. A "spur" of blood spurted out from the back of Cheng Shuai's head. Then Cheng Shuai rolled his eyes. Fainted directly
Beside. Guozi looked coldly at Cheng Shuai, who fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth. Expressionless, he walked over and felt out the camera. Smash it hard. Then search for the photos. Tear to shreds with force. Then. kicked Cheng Shuai several times again. Finally stand up. calmly stared at Cheng Shuai, who was already unrecognizable:
"He is worthy of being a man who lives in retribution every day. It didn't die."
Sakura glanced at Cheng Shuai. Glancing at the fruit again. His face darkened. She suddenly turned her head to Tang Peng and said:
"Tang Peng. I'm sorry about my request for leave from you to go home tomorrow. I've changed my mind."
"It's fine. I didn't take you seriously."
"I am now officially resigning. I want to leave for home right away."
Tang Peng and Guozi were stunned for a moment. The two looked at Sakura in amazement. Apparently. They both know why Sakura said that. But looking at Sakura's resolute expression. Both of them gave up on the idea of persuasion
The helpless fruit had to look at Tang Peng quietly. Hopefully he can say something. But Tang Peng just lowered his head. Clam up. The anxious fruit hurriedly stepped forward to stop Sakura, who was about to go back to the room to pack her things:
"That Sakura-chan sister, don't be impulsive. This. This thing (referring to the photo of her and Cheng Shuai) is not what you think. We"
"It's none of your business. Sister Guozi. Don't worry about it, I just feel like I've been away from home for so long. It's time to go back. And. Staying here won't help you with anything. It's just going to cause trouble. Again. I've been aware of it since Sister Liu Min was kidnapped. Someday. I will be a burden to all of you. Leave now. Good for everybody." After speaking. Sakura bypasses the fruit. A man walked quietly back to his room. Can. Before closing. But he said it in a voice so small that no one could hear it." Sister Guozi. That idiot who took good care of us after the trouble"
The moment the door closes. The fruit is distinct from the dimly lit room. I saw a crystal clear teardrop slip down Sakura's delicate and charming face
"What. You want Cheng Shuai, this idiot, to be with Sakura's sister." on the couch. The fruit stood up at once. shouted at Tang Peng at the top of his voice. Absolutely not. I firmly disagree, old lady."
Look at the fruit with a vinegary look. Tang Peng pursed his lips and held back a smile. Asked:
"Why not. And also. Why with your consent."
The fruit was stunned. His face turned red. I was stunned for a long time. Can't say a whole sentence. Finally, put your heart sideways:
"The old lady doesn't care. In short, no, it just doesn't work."
"Don't make a fuss. Fruit. Calm down." Tang Peng smiled and shook his head. Stretch out your hand and signal the fruit to sit down first." I asked Cheng Shuai to go home with Sakura for a purpose. It's a big deal. You can't mess around with personal feelings."
"What an important big thing. Who messed around with private feelings. The old lady doesn't care about you. If you want to go together, you will go together. The old lady also goes. By the way, supervise this idiot on the road. I'm afraid that Sakura's sister will be"
"Sakura's hometown town is located near the 'XX Dam'. And the 'XX dam' thing. You should more or less know a few. Right?" Suddenly. Tang Peng sank his face. He looked at the fruit with a serious face." Before, you 'No Shadow' were more concentrated in the area of Sakura's hometown town. And Cheng Shuai has been living there in seclusion for the past five years (the plot of the third case of the sequel).I believe it has something to do with it.,Right?"
The fruit is wooden. His face became gloomy. The body also twitched slightly:
"Original. Original. You've always doubted me. I've always been treated as a 'shadowless' person. Also right. After all, my identity is there. Whatever I do. In your eyes, you have always been a 'poison envoy' without a shadow, but Tang Peng. The old lady told you. Lady"
"Fruit. You are mistaken. I didn't mean that. It's just"
"What do you mean by 'you have no shadow,' and what does your tone of disdain mean?"
"Uh, I'm wrong, okay" Tang Peng was stunned. Hurriedly admit his mistake." A moment of negligence. Don't be angry. Don't be angry. I'm just used to it."
"Habit. Hehe. Also right. Mother, I deserve to be called 'you have no shadow' in a tone of contempt and disgust. Sorry.' The God of Reasoning 'Sir.' I'm stepping on the floor of your Ssangyong Detective Agency and dirty your floor. Pollute your eyeballs. I'm sorry. I'm going to disappear. No, you can't."
"Suddenly. Tang Peng's face became ugly. He stared at the fruit. After a long time. He spoke slowly. Now that that's it. Then I don't have to hide my true thoughts anymore. I'm right to you. This act of standing in front of me now is barbaric. Likes to play pranks and be jealous. But the kind-hearted girl doesn't have any resentment. I have always regarded her as a member of our detective agency. For the 'poisoner' with his hands covered in blood."
XXXVI. Atonement
Moment. It was as if something in his chest had shattered his originally flushed face. Suddenly it became dead white and there was no refutation. Nor can it be refuted. Nothing alive. I can't get angry and the fruit stands there dumbfounded. It's as if the whole person has been ruthlessly emptied. Only empty shadows remain. The little remaining soul that hung there in a daze struggled to support her body. Let her not collapse although Tang Peng's words were not finished. But it was enough to crush her whole world indeed. No matter how it changes now. It has never changed, but the hands that were once stained with blood have been dripping with remorse and humiliation. Wet the floor of the Ssangyong Detective Agency with a large piece of fruit and look up. Whimpering and speechless. Open mouth desperately trying to say something. But I couldn't say it. In the end, there are only three words left:
"I'm sorry"
Suddenly. Tang Peng fell silent. Realizing that he had lost his words, he couldn't help but regret it a little. After all. The fruit is good in nature. And now I'm trying to keep myself up to date. Completely draw a line with 'no shadow'. There really is a right and wrong in this world. Good or evil, I have been thinking about this question more than once in the past five years. Dr. Ye Qingfeng (the doctor who cured Tang Peng's eyes. I once had a 'right and wrong' with Tang Peng.' The argument between right and wrong) echoed in my mind repeatedly. It made him a little confused, 'Whoever it is. Poor people who are equal in the face of sickness and death. There is no such thing as a good guy or a villain. There's no right or wrong. It's just that the two have different ideas, and the so-called right and wrong are just labels that we impose on things. People who think differently live in this world. He died for a different reason. Some things you think are wrong, but others say they are right. What you think is right will be told that is wrong. And how can there be anything wrong or right? We are doctors. I'm used to seeing these partings of life and death. Right and wrong, good and evil' yes. Think about it. We humans speak of the earth and nature. It's just a virus that knows how to blindly destroy, claim, and multiply endlessly. In Tao Ran and Shadowless worldview. They are nothing more than helping the earth clean up a batch of viruses. And to create a harmonious and healthy new area just thought of here. Tang Peng couldn't help but shed a cold sweat. He hurriedly shook his head. Bring yourself to your senses in time. Do not continue to degenerate into the dark side of thought, but when you look up and see the pale face of the fruit. The deep self-blame made it difficult for him to extricate himself. But he didn't know what to say to alleviate it. I had to say helplessly:
"The prodigal son does not change his money. No matter how it used to be. It's good to be rehabilitated and now you're fighting side by side with us. Trying to save countless lives. It can be regarded as a way to offset the work. Don't care. On the road ahead. I have to continue to ask you, sister-in-law."
Consciousness has been blurred fruit. Suddenly, it froze. She shook her head. looked at Tang Peng with a look of surprise:
"Sister-in-law. Sister-in-law."
"Ahem. I don't want to admit this though. But Cheng Shuai's stupid age is indeed ten minutes older than me (the two were born in the same hospital in the same year, same month, same day, same hour), so"
It's as if autumn has come early. Extreme summer heat. The bitter cold of last winter. It's all gone. Only the golden warmth remained, and the face of the fruit turned red in an instant. She hurriedly turned her face sideways. But there was no refutation. just muttered and cursed:
"God. Neuropathy."
"Look at the fruit with a shy and angry expression. Tang Peng couldn't help but laugh quietly. The mood is also much better. He turned his head to look at Cheng Shuai, who was still lying unconscious on the ground. Said something meaningful." I think. In the future, those members of the singles club may tear this goods alive."
"That's right, Tang Peng. About the 'XX Dam' you mentioned" here. The fruit seemed to remember something." I do seem to vaguely remember people talking about making sure that things go smoothly and that nothing in the 'XX Dam' is damaged, but I was depressed for five years. So you didn't get me involved too much. I don't know the exact details. And. Everyone has been doing what the dark god tells them to do. There are a lot of secrets that we don't know. Even at one point, we didn't even know the identity of the Dark God (the plot of the last two cases of the first part) I'm sorry. I'd love to try to help you out, but I don't know much information, what's the matter, is this case related to the 'XX Dam'?"
"It's not." Tang Peng shook his head. His complexion became very solemn. Soon. But he said jokingly to the fruit. How. If you call it 'sister-in-law', it will be 'sunny after the rain'."
"you." The fruit cursed angrily. But he still refuses to turn his face away." Now is not the time for jokes. What the hell is going on?"
Tang Peng's brows furrowed. Hesitate for a moment. In the end, he told Guozi about his speculation about "Noah's Second Coming" and "XX Dam" and Tao Ran's plans for the past five years.
Although the fruit is also a person who has experienced a lot of bloody storms. But after listening to Tang Peng's story. Still couldn't help but gasp:
"It turned out. What we've been working on is such a terrible plan"
"This is not until there is conclusive evidence. It's all just our guesses. Although I have also conducted a lot of research secretly in the past five years. But the information and evidence obtained is pitiful. Even if you add the information that Cheng Shuai got when he lived in seclusion there. There is simply no way to have a definite conclusion about everything. It's just a guess," he said. Tang Peng's face sank. The whole world seems to be quiet." So I want to take advantage of Sakura's home this time. Let Cheng Shuai, this idiot, go over and investigate it again. Although it has been hidden deep over there before. But this incident (referring to the hunting of the 'Shadowless Reserve') may make them show some of their feet."
"I see," the fruit breathed a long sigh of relief. But he resolutely demanded." That. I'll go too. I might be able to use my previous identity to help you come up with some useful information."
Look at the determined expression of the fruit. Tang Peng shook his head. Looking out the window blankly:
"If you must help. Just about. I have an urgent and important thing for you to do. Would you like to help?"
"But," the fruit wanted to refuse. But what was revealed in Tang Peng's eyes forced her to swallow the words back into those deep and clear eyes. At the moment, I am full of confusion. Helpless. Disappointed. Sorrowful. Sad fruit understood. Tang Peng asked himself to do it. It's a thing that makes him very painful for himself, "What do you want me to help with?"
"Chen Xi, he should be near his house at the moment. This is the address of his home. Excuse me," Tang Peng paused. His face was pale. He continued in a feeble tone. Please kidnap him as 'Shadowless'. Then leave a text message to Chen Weiwei."
"What." The fruit was stunned. Lost his voice and cried out. He looked at Tang Peng repeatedly. I want to make sure it's not him who said it. Even. She also subconsciously made a defensive posture to prevent it. This person is impersonating "you. Say it again."
Tang Peng raised his head and looked at the fruit that had been put on a posture. Tilting his head gloomily:
"Don't make a fuss. I'm not in the mood to mess around with fruit right now. I know you're sure to have a lot of questions right now. But trust me. Make this decision. I was also forced to do so. If you can. I'd rather believe that none of this is true. Yes"
Tang Peng didn't say anything more. The gloomy look explained everything for a long time. The fruit calmed down. She wanted to ask something. But I know in my heart that even if I ask. Tang Peng won't say anything in the end. She just asked indifferently:
"What's the text message?"
Tang Peng didn't reply. Just looked ugly and handed over a note.
The fruit took the note. Spread it out and take a look. Suddenly. Pale face:
"What. This. Is this true?"
