July 5, 10:00 p.m

It was late at night, and there were fewer vehicles and pedestrians on the streets. The sound of insects in the small courtyard reached Wei Donghe's ears through the window, and he stayed quietly in a corner of the room, the stuffy air made him sweat like rain, but he didn't realize it.

After Du Li's death, the house remained empty and the water and electricity were fully connected. Two or three hours ago, it had just been visited by the police. Wei Donghe knew that his infiltration was risky.

He didn't dare to turn on the lights, let alone turn on the air conditioner.

He lay on the floor of the study by the window, and opened the window in a narrow gap, and there was no wind, and the air of the sultry summer night was stagnant, without a trace of waves.

Wei Donghe had been in this steamer-like house for an hour.

After Lao Wang also closed the door of the grocery store and went home in a hurry, Wei Donghe quietly pried open the door of Du Li's house while there was no one left and right.

The most dangerous place is the safest place, and from that point of view, there is really no better place for a fugitive.

What's more, he had a hunch that someone would be here tonight.

Wei Donghe pillowed his hands behind his head, squinting his eyes, his thoughts were chaotic. One moment is the conversation with Wei Ruhai at the Luya Tea House today, one moment jumps to the fight with Nie Yu a few months ago, the day he was arrested, and the other is this afternoon, Nie Yu said to him that there may be a mole in the public security bureau across the wall, and then he listened to the voice of Gao Cheng on the mobile phone, he said that Su Xi returned to the nursing home alone, and there, he was attacked by two unknown men, one with a gun...... She was almost shot dead!

That Su Xi!

He couldn't guess the woman's reason for doing it for him.

His thoughts were tumbling and his mind was restless.

Fifteen years ago, before he was arrested for the first time, he was just a hairy kid who only knew boxing and basketball, and the girls he knew could count on two hands.

Five years later, after his release from prison, his mother entrusted him with a job at the juvenile sports school, and every day he saw some hormonal leather boys. Later, the news leaked out, and some parents came to the door, saying that they didn't want to have a murderer next to their child, who knows if this person will lose control of his emotions again, at that time, the unlucky one is the child. How do schools keep their students safe? At first, it was one or two parents who made a fuss, and then a dozen parents joined forces to make a fuss.

Wei Donghe didn't embarrass the principal, he took the initiative to resign.

In the next few years, he wandered from one school to another, and even stayed in work-study schools, whether it was a physical education teacher or a school team sparring position, he didn't do it for long.

Until one day, he saw that the Mayat Fitness Center at his door was recruiting fitness coaches, so he went to apply, and it was the manager Du Li who recruited him.

Once his job is stable, the next thing is his life's work. His life's events can make his mother sad, almost a girl, as soon as they heard that he had been in prison and had killed someone, they immediately turned around and left. After he turned thirty, his mother was desperate, and began to introduce him to country girls, but the girls in his hometown also had requirements, and some people were willing to go on a blind date with him, but after the blind date was over, no one was willing to contact him again.

Until three years ago.

Three years ago, in front of a supermarket, a young girl accidentally bumped into him, and the ice cream in her hand happened to be buttoned onto his T-shirt. The girl refused to let him go, insisted on buying him a new T-shirt, and out of embarrassment, Wei Donghe invited her to dinner. The girl, when she laughed, had beautiful crescent-shaped eyes. It was this girl, half a year later, who asked him if he would like to be his boyfriend. After another year, she climbed the mountain with him, and when she came down the mountain, she broke her foot, and he carried her all the way, and she lay on his back, and leaned into his ear, and asked him if he would like to marry her...... It was she who offered to him to fall in love, and it was she who offered to marry him...... It was also she who offered to break up with him.

She said she couldn't hold on anymore.

Jenny, both in the past and now, is the only girl in Wei Donghe's life.

However, that Su Xi ......

And what about that inexplicable familiarity he felt with her?

Could it be, it was all designed by Jenny......

The thought popped into his head, and he quickly threw it out of his mind.

No, it won't be Janie.

Jenny was the most simple and kind person he had ever met. She was an orphan, but she never complained. In the film studio, she specializes in dubbing the little girls in those cartoons, whether they are brutal or gloomy, they are cute and sincere in Wei Donghe's eyes. She always chuckled gently, spoke softly, and never got into an argument. She only gets angry with Wei Donghe, and when she is angry, she drinks water desperately, and every time he sees her gulping water, he is very distressed, so he apologizes every time.

She can't change light bulbs, can't open mineral water bottles, can't do ten push-ups, and chokes on water when she swims...... But she can cook, she can iron clothes, she will tear down old sweaters and weave them into small carpets, and she will also take the initiative to help neighbors pick up and drop off their children to and from kindergarten......

She is the kind of woman who becomes home wherever she is.

Wei Donghe's heart ached for a while.

He missed her. I've always missed her.

He didn't want to break up.

The word breakup is like a sharp blade, deeply inserted in his heart.

Too painful.

He suddenly discovers the truth, the truth about why he would sacrifice his life to escape from prison - he can't bear to lose her! He's going to find her! Call him selfish or crazy, he must find her!

All the happiness he fantasized about was to be with her: he thought that when they were old, and when she was angry, he would take the glass of water and stand by it, and wait for her to drink it before filling it for her; He would learn the art of cooking from her, and from time to time he would push her out of the kitchen and show her a hand, making her smile wrinkled...... Oh, yes, there will be children until they are old, and he must have a meek and kind daughter like Jenny, not a silly boy like him who loves to get into trouble and worry about people, he will hold his daughter in one hand and her in the other, kissing her on the left and her on the right; When he went out shopping, he stood in the middle, pulling his daughter on one side and her on the other, and the three of them were talking and laughing......

Perhaps, there is still a chance.

He opened his eyes slightly, looking at the moonlight and stars outside the window.

When all the truth is revealed and he is free.

Hopefully it's not too late.

Wait for me, Jenny.

The chirping of insects stopped suddenly.

Sure enough, it came!

Wei Donghe got up alertly, he carefully hid behind the curtains, holding his breath and waiting for someone to come.

Who could it be?

The faint sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, Wei Donghe heard the sound of picking out the key and unlocking it, and then, the door clicked and opened, and a person walked in and closed the door again.

After that, everything seemed to freeze, and there was no more sound.

The impatient bug continued to scream.

Was it just a hallucination?

No, no, there is a man who comes in, and as soon as this person comes in, he stays in a certain place, just like him.

Wei Donghe's heart quickly calculated.

If this person is here to arrest him, Wei Donghe will be restrained in the small room, no matter how good he is, if this person has a weapon in his hand, it is enough to subdue him. On the contrary, it is better to lure this person outside, unless the outside is full of heavily armed police officers with guns ready to fire.

Unlikely.

He knew that the police were going to make such a one-man arrest.

Wei Donghe is still waiting.

The people in the room didn't move either.

It was very hot in the house, and it was even hotter when he hid behind the curtains, and after a while, sweat wet Wei Donghe's forehead. His hand moved, and he touched the phone in his trouser pocket.

Wei Donghe's mind moved, he unlocked the phone and pressed the call button.

The last call was made to Nie Yu half an hour ago, but he hung up before he could get through.

There was a buzzing phone vibrating sound in the room, very close to him.

It's Nie Yu!

Wei Donghe walked out from behind the curtain. Nie Yu was right in front of him, holding a gun in his hand, the muzzle of which was pointed at him.

"Is that you?" Nie Yu was stunned for a moment, immediately turned the gun head, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, glanced at it, and hung up.

Wei Donghe leaned against the wall and looked at Nie Yu vigilantly: "You didn't come to me?" ”

Nie Yu put the gun away: "No. I didn't know you were here. ”

He looked at Wei Donghe: "You really found a good place to hide." If it weren't for the thread I was stuck on the door earlier, I really didn't expect someone to be here. ”

"What were you looking for here?"

The moonlight shone on Nie Yu's face. The night sky is cloudy, and the moon passes through the clouds. The flickering light made Nie Yu's expression strange and illusory.

"This."

Nie Yu flipped through the Bogu shelf on his side and took out a heart-shaped glass ornament.
