Yang Wenbin looked at him fixedly, "What? ”

"He pulled the trigger and the kid died. He chose to pull a child on his back at the end before he was arrested. Yan Junli closed his eyes.

"That'...... It's not your fault. Yang Wenbin lowered his eyelids and said such a sentence for a long time.

"You're wrong, that's my fault." Yan Junli suddenly looked at Yang Wenbin with his eyes like a torch, "My fault is not that I rushed out impulsively to round up the criminals, but that I thought that I could solve all the problems alone, and I conceited the task on my head." ”

Yan Junli had something to say, Yang Wenbin looked at him, not knowing what to say.

"It's not that you can unload the burden in your heart in one day, I just say-" Yan Junli played with the plastic fork of eating pizza in his hand, seemingly absent-minded, but the words he said were to the point, "I know that you are a person who has a lot of things in mind, and this has nothing to do with your past, but because I know that you are that kind of person." You like to wrap yourself in a disguise and show yourself the most respectable, I respect your character and choices, but that can sometimes be tiring, trust me, I know. Yang Wenbin, you are a good person, a kind person - don't interrupt me, don't admit it. But you haven't touched the city for what it really is, and you don't know how dirty it is. You don't know how ugly people are, and what criminals can become, but I know very well. Many people think that the police are the sun, and as soon as the sun comes out, the dark clouds and haze are gone, but in fact, it is not like that at all. In fact, the policeman is at most a glow-in-the-dark stick, facing the dark abyss and jumping without hesitation, even he is dyed black, and then he can only illuminate the road a few steps ahead, and the rest is surrounded by darkness beyond your strength. ”

Yang Wenbin lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

"In this business, you have to deal with this darkness, and sometimes you have to avoid it again and again." Yan Junli paused, and didn't seem to want to say the rest of the words, "I'm thinking, maybe it was a wrong decision for me to choose to involve you in the first place. I know what a clean man you are, tenacious, shrewd, nimble, and skillful, and yet I'm going to pull you into the mud with my own hands and stain your spotless white coat. ”

"Don't talk about it." Yang Wenbin interrupted Yan Junli's emotion, and the expression on his face made the latter feel like they were back in Minghai Hospital for their first encounter. At that time, Yang Wenbin had such an expression, calm and indifferent, but firm and forbearing, as if even if the next second was the end of the world, he would not show the slightest timidity.

"I have always believed that the path of life is to be chosen by yourself. Fourteen years ago, when my parents died, I could have chosen to live in secret, but I didn't. After being adopted by Juber, I could also choose revenge, but I still didn't. Yang Wenbin said word by word, "So if I didn't want to go with you, I wouldn't have left if you asked the horse to drag me." I'm a doctor, doctors save lives, and I want to solve the case and catch the murderer as soon as possible

But for the same reason. No matter how deep the water is beneath the surface of the city, I'm willing to go down and find out. Not to mention ......"

Yang Wenbin made up his mind and said, "I'm not alone. What is there to be afraid of. ”

After hearing this, Yan Junli laughed and said, "Hey, look, it's all my fault for saying these messy things, and it's my fault if I don't talk about the case if I don't talk about it." ”

Yang Wenbin snorted from his nose, "If you keep your word, the sun will rise in the west." ”

Yan Junli smiled and asked, "Then since it's all already said, can I ask one more thing?" ”

Yang Wenbin raised his chin in acquiescence.

"In that case in Minghai Hospital, what did Gu Yan say to you before he died?" Yan Junli asked.

Yang Wenbin, who was asked this question, was a little surprised, "Do you still remember this incident?" ”

Yan Junli nodded, "I am very concerned about the end of that case, I always feel that Gu Yan's death is not the end, but our negligence has let the real murderer go." ”

Yang Wenbin nodded and said, "Originally, I also wanted to find a suitable time to tell you, but I never had the opportunity." Gu Yan mentioned a name to me before he died. ”

"Name?"

"Joker." "He said the name clown intermittently. ”

Yan Junli frowned when he heard this.

"Do you have an impression of the name?"

"No, not at all." Yan Junli shook his head, "That's why I feel weird." I've been a police officer in City C for more than ten years, whether it's a triad organization or a drug lord or something, I've heard it more or less, but I don't remember the name 'clown' at all. ”

"Not at all?" Yang Wenbin asked unwillingly.

Yan Junli shook his head and gave him a regretful expression, "Not at all." In any case, proceed with caution, if he is really the boss behind some huge criminal organization, it is unlikely that he will jump out and kill people directly. The top priority now is to solve Xie Fengming's case. ”

"Wrong, it's a priority now." Yang Wenbin stood up and stuffed the plates and cups into Yan Junli's arms, "It's you who hurry up and wash the dishes." ”

"Ah-" Yan Junli wailed, "No, why should I wash it." ”

"Then why are you eating at my house?" Yang Wenbin hugged his arms and said.

"It's done." Yan Junli compromised helplessly, and said, "I'll wash it, I'll wash it, you are really a little ancestor." ”

Yan Junli said and took the plates and bowls to the kitchen. Listening to the sound of rushing water from the kitchen, Yang Wenbin's mood became happy.

After a while, Yan Junli's voice came from the kitchen again.

"I washed the dishes for you, do you want to keep me overnight to thank you!"

"The beauty of thought!" Yang Wenbin shouted over there, "Wash your dishes, where are you going back and forth after washing!" Hey, wash the dishes cleanly, do you hear, if I see a little oil, I'll ask you! ”

Yan Junli's second wail came from the kitchen, and Yang Wenbin smiled and picked up the red wine and took a sip.

Then his face slowly sank.

He still didn't tell Yan Junli all about the "clown", he subconsciously felt that the existence of this clown was not so simple. The original words that Gu Yan said to him before he died were, "The clown will not let you go." I don't know if it's an illusion, Yang Wenbin always feels that Gu Yan has accented on that "you".

Why "you" and not "you"?

Outside the window, the night was thick, and the moonlight was just right.

The next morning it was a sunny day, and the sky was a high and distant blue common in autumn, with the occasional thin cloud, which also passed quickly overhead. This weather is perfect for people to go out for a walk or play, even busy office workers will be in a good mood in such good weather.

But it definitely does not include the criminal investigation captain Yan Junli.

Yan Junli felt his head swell when he thought that this unsolved case was still without eyebrows. Yan Junli smoked a cigarette in the car, called Yang Wenbin, and was ready to go to the police station to face the unknown mystery at a loss.

The skeleton found yesterday is now lying in the police station's coroner's room, awaiting DNA verification by the Technical Section. Maybe the corpse will be an important clue to the case, of course, maybe it has nothing to do with the case, it is just Xia Baiyan trying to clear his name.
