"So you just let the clown run away, and our plan went to waste. Another trip in vain. Yang Wenbin fell on the bed in despair.

"It's like it's my fault, what if I go after the clown?" Yan Junli said angrily, "Do you mean I should just let your voice goe?" ”

"That's better than letting the Joker run away!" Yang Wenbin retorted unceremoniously.

"Are you crazy?" Yan Junli looked at Yang Wenbin in disbelief, "Do you really think so?" ”

Yang Wenbin fell silent, as if realizing that he had said something he shouldn't have said.

“…… Yang Wenbin. Yan Junli took a deep breath and said, "You really wanted to shoot at that time, right?" ”

Yang Wenbin avoided Yan Junli's gaze.

"You really want to kill him, don't you?" Yan Junli propped one hand on the head of the bed and approached Yang Wenbin.

"I didn't!" Yang Wenbin immediately retorted.

"Lie! I see you pull the trigger! Yan Junli said sharply.

Yang Wenbin was startled, and immediately turned to Yan Junli, with panic in his eyes.

"I see you pull the trigger." Yan Junli repeated calmly, "Before the clown threw down the smoke bomb, you pulled the trigger. ”

"But why ......," Yang Wenbin asked incredulously.

Yan Junli picked up the gun from the bedside table and threw it to Yang Wenbin, "Open it yourself and take a look." ”

Yang Wenbin took the weapon thrown by Yan Junli and opened the magazine, which was empty, without a single bullet.

"There are no bullets in there." Yang Wenbin muttered.

"Do you think I'm really going to give you a gun with bullets?" Yan Junli suppressed his anger and said, "For me, I'd rather let the clown go than watch you kill!" ”

"How can you possibly understand my feelings!" Yang Wenbin threw the gun on the table and glared at Yan Junli angrily, "It's not your only relative who was killed!" ”

Yan Junli grabbed Yang Wenbin's wrist and forced him to look at him, "I don't know your mood, but at least I know that killing people is illegal!" It is true that both of my parents are alive, but I have seen countless deaths in front of me, including several of my own men, and I can only watch and do nothing. Is that enough to make up for your dissatisfaction? ”

Yang Wenbin tried to break free of Yan Junli's shackles, but was grabbed more tightly by Yan Junli.

"Wen Bin, you look me in the eye and tell me I don't understand your mood at all." Yan Junli pulled Yang Wenbin's chin, and his dark pupils looked directly at him.

Yang Wenbin had to look into Yan Junli's eyes, the latter's eyes were dark, but they were very calm and firm. Yang Wenbin turned his head away and avoided Yan Junli's eyes.

Yan Junli sighed and let go of Yang Wenbin.

"The one that I remember the most was probably two years ago." Yan Junli sat down on Yang Wenbin's hospital bed and said slowly, "It's just a very ordinary bank robbery, there are only two robbers, and no one cares." Another brother and I were subduing the robbers and talking about what to eat for lunch. Just as he was telling me, 'The new beef fried noodles across the street from the police station tasted good,' when the robber closest to him suddenly pulled out his gun, which hit him in the head and killed him instantly. One second he's joking with me, the next he's got a bullet in his head, and I'm just standing there, dumbfounded, unable to do anything. He had a beautiful young wife who was pregnant at the time. His wife almost went crazy when she heard the news, and she blamed me for not saving her husband and called me a cold-blooded animal. All I can tell her is that there are a lot of police officers who die on the job, and we can't avoid all the risks. Then she suddenly stopped all her movements, stared at me so hard that I can't forget the way she looked at me, and she said, 'Do you police treat human life as if it were a machine part?' If one dies, it only needs to be replaced. And I couldn't find any words to contradict her. ”

After Yan Junli finished speaking, there was a long silence in the ward. Yang Wenbin suddenly broke down, he buried his head in the white quilt, and took several deep breaths before he could find his voice.

"There is no substitute for Juber." Yang Wenbin choked up and said, "I can't ......"

"I know. But for me, you are also irreplaceable. Yan Junli grabbed Yang Wenbin's shoulder and patted his partner comfortingly, "That's why I gave you an empty gun." I know how much you hate that bastard, and I want to tear him to shreds with my own hands, put him in a meat grinder, roll him a hundred times, crush him into a can, and run him a hundred times on the train tracks. ”

Yang Wenbin accidentally laughed out loud.

"But you know, that's what the man was for. He wants you to hate him, he wants you to be murderous towards him, he wants to prove that even a good person like you would want to kill. He just wants you to save people with both hands to take up arms and kill people. Yan Junli put his hand on the back of Yang Wenbin's hand and said solemnly, "Once you do this, he will really win completely." No matter how deep the hatred is, we are not God or savior, and we have no right to decide whether anyone lives or dies, and such judgments must be left to the law. And it is our task to arrest the sinners and submit them to the law. ”

"I know, I know." Yang Wenbin sighed deeply and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, I promise that something like this will never happen again." ”

Yan Junli didn't say anything more, just patted Yang Wenbin's shoulder again and stood up. He glanced at the gun on the side, and when he was hesitating, Yang Wenbin opened his mouth:

"You take it away, I don't need it."

"But, to be honest, you should have a weapon to defend yourself in this situation-"

Yang Wenbin shook his head, "Take it." You're right, I'm a doctor, and my hands are supposed to be used to save people, not to hold guns. ”

Yan Junli nodded lightly, took the pistol on the bedside table, and gently closed the door for Yang Wenbin before walking out of the room.

"Rest well, Moonbin."

————————————————————————————

On the second day, it snowed in City C, and the sky was blue with goose feather-like snowflakes flying in the air. The sunlight shines on the white snow, and when you step on it, it makes a "creaking" sound.

"Two cups of hot milk tea, thank you boss."

"Okay, right away! Do you want to put pearls? ”

"Don't let go." Yang Wenbin took out his wallet from his coat, counted two banknotes and handed them to the owner of the stall, in exchange for two cups of steaming milk tea, and handed one to the man next to him.

"So rare? Invite me to drink milk tea? Yan Junli took it, lifted the lid and took a sip, and the hot water vapor rushed out.

"Even if it's an apology for what happened before." Yang Wenbin took a straw and poked him in the shoulder, "You are so easy to spill, use a straw." ”

Yan Junli had no choice but to take the straw over, and muttered while plugging it in, "What kind of straw do big men use, my mother is girly." ”

"Doctor Yang!" Li Hong ran over from the stall next door with a finger cake in his hand, "Have you two finished buying it?" Let's go! ”

Due to the heavy snowfall, the traffic was paralyzed, and Yan Junli's car only drove two streets away from the police station and did not dare to move, so he had to find a parking lot to stop the car and prepare to walk to the police station. It was at this time that I met Yang Wenbin, who had just been discharged from the hospital, and Li Hong, who was also trapped by the heavy snow.

"Doctor Yang, are you alright? Team Yan and I are worried about you. ”

"It's okay, I slept well last night." Yang Wenbin waved his hand.

"That's good, that's good......" Li Hong breathed a sigh of relief, "It's a pity that the clown ran away......"

"There's no way around that." Yang Wenbin lowered his head and took a sip of milk tea, the heat echoed in his stomach, making people feel very comfortable, "What's more, I don't think we won't have a chance to catch him anymore." ”

"What do you mean......" Li Hong hesitated.

"Before the clown ran away, he said a word to me." Yan Junli said, "He said, 'The game is not over yet'. ”

"Of course it's not over." Yang Wenbin said, "This meeting is just another provocation, and he is arrogant enough to think that he will win." ”

"Uh, you two wait a minute." Li Hong interrupted the two of them with a little headache, "Why don't I understand a little?" No one has died anymore, and the clown has also appeared, so the only thing left is to put the finishing touches on, right? ”

"No, this case is far from over, there are too many questions in it." Yang Wenbin shook his head, "Let's go through it from beginning to end, and you will understand." The first person to be killed was lawyer Chen Hongfu, who died in the public bathroom of his apartment from having his throat cut with a sharp object. Subsequently, we found the fingerprints on the murder weapon during the investigation, and it was assumed that the murderer was his boss Tang Yuankai. But when we found Tang Yuankai, he was also a corpse. He was dismembered by his boyfriend Tao Mingliang and put in the refrigerator. Then we tracked down Tao Mingliang and soon found him and Zhu Bo...... Died together. These serial events are so closely connected, and there are many clowns in the middle who deliberately make it difficult for us to solve the puzzles, so we don't have time to think about the details. But now, if you think about it, you can see that there are many loopholes. ”

Yan Junli nodded, "Let's not say whether there is really such an outrageous case in this world for the time being, let's just say that if this case is a 'chain of life and death', then the previous murderer must be the next victim." If Tao Mingliang was killed by Zhu Bo, who was Zhu Bo killed? Yang Wenbin was obviously framed, so the case was not established at all. If Zhu Bo was killed by Tao Mingming, it would not conform to the law of this serial case. ”
