"Jiang You...... Jiangyou ......"

The call from far and near sounded in his ears, and in a hazy way, Ning Yuan's appearance gradually became clear.

She stood on the side of the road with a ponytail, a fitted khaki trench coat and an umbrella. Seeing Jiang You, she waved her hand excitedly, not caring that half of her body on her right was exposed to the fluttering snowflakes. When he looked at her, she smiled happily and trotted over to him.

Click, click

The sound of the heels of her heels hitting the ground, as she walked, resounded ethereally......

Suddenly, there seemed to be a huge black curtain that enveloped everything, falling from top to bottom. It's like a TV picture with a power outage, so that the vividness in front of you comes to an abrupt end! Accompanied by this instantaneous black curtain was a loud rumbling sound!

……

Jiang You was awakened in a dream, and it was raining outside, mixed with rumbling thunder. The contrast between the outside world and the silence in the dimly lit room is stark.

He got up from the couch in a daze, kicked down several beer bottles that had been placed on the floor, and didn't care.

Apparently I don't know when I was drunk, and I don't know how long I was drunk. He sat on the sofa with his hands on his head for a while, not thinking about the dream he had just had, nor caring about the mess in the room, as if all this was a kind of normal.

Awakened, he rubbed his forehead and stood up and moved around the room. When he reached the wall cabinet, he stopped. The gaze fell on a picture frame......

Ning Yuan in the photo, just like her in the dream just now, is beautiful, tranquil, always hanging in the smile on her face, and seems to hide infinite tenderness......

Jiang You, who was originally expressionless, seemed to be gradually melting the indifference on his face. His brows furrowed slightly, and there seemed to be a touch of moisture in his eyes, which seemed to be looking at nothing without emotion.

His finger lightly swiped over Ning Yuan's timeless smile on the photo. As if afraid that he would fall into endless grief and struggle again, he looked away with some difficulty, and turned away from the ark.

After washing up casually, he walked out of the bathroom, took a black denim jacket from the armrest of the sofa, carried a black umbrella, and went out in silence......

Shixi District, Baigang City.

A car-wide messy street with dim street lights. In the west of the city, where development is relatively lagging behind, such intricate old streets and alleys can be seen everywhere.

Xia Duo was standing under the shed of the roadside store at this time to hide from the rain. It's a little late after school today, and the rainstorm in early summer is coming, which she didn't expect. The coolness of the rainstorm made her feel a little cold, and she wrapped one hand around her arm and held half a can of Coke in the other, and drank it slowly.

The warm yellow light of the kiosk sprinkled on the street, giving her a sense of security more than the dim street lamp. The old woman shopkeeper, who seemed to be accompanied by a shabby black-and-white TV all day long, ignored the child who was sheltering from the rain in front of his door, and watched the TV by himself.

Jiang You slowly walked to the commissary and saw Xia Duo who was sheltering from the rain, and Xia Duo also saw him......

The two made eye contact, and as soon as the polite smile on Xia Duo's face was halfway up, Jiang You looked away indifferently and quickly walked into the commissary.

He took the umbrella, dropped the 20 yuan, and tapped his finger on the top of the worn glass counter, as if pointing to a pack of cigarettes on the counter. The old woman glanced at Jiang You, took a pack of blue seven stars and change and put it on the counter, then ignored Jiang You and moved her gaze back to the TV. It's so skillful that it seems to happen every day.

Xia Duo, who was outside the house, turned his head and secretly glanced at Jiang You and stuck out his tongue. She didn't care about Jiang You's indifference, and the surrounding residents stayed away from this taciturn neighbor uncle who kept a straight face all day long. But Xia Duo was not afraid of him, and always felt that under his cold appearance, there was an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

Suddenly, the black shadow flashed, and Jiang You had already walked out of the commissary and into the rain...... Xia Duo watched in a daze as he pulled up the hat of his coat and disappeared into the night, not reacting for a while.

She was stunned for a moment before she looked at her feet. There was an extra black umbrella leaning against the wall. The rainwater slowly flowed down the umbrella cloth to the ground, forming a puddle of ever-expanding water stains.

Xia Duo smiled sweetly, picked up the umbrella and walked in the opposite direction where Jiang You disappeared........

Country C, downtown of White Harbor.

The rain was about to stop, and only a sporadic drizzle fell on Jiang You's broad shoulders. The city is brightly lit, and countless cars shuttle through the wet ground, making a rustling sound of friction, from far and near.

He stood on the roof of a seven- or eight-story building, smoking a cigarette and silently watching the scene of the street below. He had been here more than once, and had gazed at the street below more than once.

It was on the opposite street that Ning Yuan died unexpectedly! Since then, Jiang You's world seems to have lost color, and the bustle and noise of the city seem to be incompatible with him, and it has nothing to do with him.

Her departure seems to have taken away the vitality of the whole world......

Jiang You finished smoking the last cigarette, threw it on the ground and stepped on it with his foot, leaving a lot of half-trampled cigarette butts on the ground. Apparently he had been standing here for a long time and had smoked several cigarettes.

Looking at the cigarette butts in one place, a picture flashed in his mind: it was still a cigarette butt in one place, and it was still this white-mouthed Seven Star brand cigarette. It's just that the end of all cigarette butts has no traces of burning, as if it was cut off and discarded on the ground......

"After receiving a report from Mr. Wang, a citizen, there was a suspected burglary in the building opposite his house, with three suspects, and the location of the crime was on the left on the 4th floor of Building 8, Yuelin Apartment, West District. Please check it out with the nearby police on duty! Note that the gangsters are armed, Mr. Wang is maintaining communication with us, observing the situation on the other side, please go to the police to keep the police channel open! ”

Jiang You has a headset hanging in one ear, and what is playing in it is a warning radio station that is illegally received without permission!

At this time, a pleasant female voice from the headphones interrupted his thoughts. The law and order in White Harbor has always been good, and in this era, blatant robbery has rarely occurred, and there are strange things......

Jiang You took a deep breath, as if he wanted to eliminate the image that would never linger in his mind just now...... After a few moments, he silently turned around and left the roof......

A corner in the southwest corner of the Yuelin apartment complex that cannot be illuminated by street lights. A screeching sound of brakes echoed through the quiet darkness.

Jiang You jumped out of the car and ran quickly into the alley to the south of the community.

"The gangsters climbed over the wall and fled to the south! We're on the hunt! After the sound of electricity, a male voice that was clearly running rang out. Apparently the officer was chasing the three "burglars".

"Roger! There is no security monitoring in the lane of Changhuali in the south of Yuelin Apartment. The perimeter surveillance footage is ready. Please keep the communication," the pleasant female voice just now said calmly.

"Huhu...... Call...... Hurry up! …… The police are here! ”

In a narrow alley in Changhuali Alley, three gangsters ran out of breath, and those who ran ahead urged their lagging companions from time to time.

Just as they passed an intersection, a black shadow suddenly flew out of the alleyway on the left.

The gangster who ran at the front happened to collide with the black shadow, and then ...... He was kicked by the shadow and flew sideways, then slammed into the telephone pole at the crossing.

The black shadow stretched out in the air, kicked the gangster, and stood in the middle of the alley as steady as Mount Tai.

The two gangsters who were left behind quickly stopped, and the soles of their shoes made a rustling sound against the ground.

The two looked in horror at their kicked companion, who was already curled up under a telephone pole, rolling on the ground with his stomach in his arms and moaning.

When their eyes moved to the person in the middle of the alleyway, they found that the other party was not wearing a police officer, and they were shocked for a moment. Can't figure out who it's coming?

Of course, the person who came was Jiang You!

He didn't stop long, and rushed directly towards the two of them. In less than 15 seconds, the two bandits were easily subdued between three punches and two feet.

"Big brother! Who are you! We're just collecting the bills for people! What's the matter, if you don't pay back the money you owe, you still beat people? ”

Accounts receivable? It turned out that it was not a burglary...... Not the man he was looking for.

Jiang You silently put away his fists, looked up and saw that there was already a flashlight light flashing at the end of the alley, and the sound of footsteps and the beeping of the walkie-talkie could already be faintly heard......

When the two policemen hurriedly ran from the alley to the intersection, they saw only three gangsters who fell to the ground and couldn't get up. There was no one else around.

They looked around, and one of the policemen said into the walkie-talkie on his shoulder: "The gangsters have been caught...... Well, subdued by unknown people. Please pay attention to the nearby surveillance to see if there are any suspicious people entering or leaving......"

Another policeman waited for his colleagues to finish the briefing, and while he was busy handcuffing several gangsters, he asked, "What do you think?" That 'Batman' again? It's useless, the surveillance can't shoot this person at all! ”

"Who knows?" The policeman raised an eyebrow.

This seems to have happened more than once in White Harbor......

20 minutes later, on a certain road in Shibei District.

There were a lot of people on the side of the road, and a social vehicle and police car were parked on the side of the road, apparently there was a traffic accident.

At this time, Jiang You wore a hat and appeared in the crowd.

"Eh, it's really miserable!"

"yes, what's going on?"

"Drunk driving! Fortunately, no one died! ”

"Yes, yes! Huh! Now these drivers are really irresponsible......."

……

The people around were talking, and Jiang You raised his eyes to look at the drunk driver who was detained by the traffic police. Silently turned away and headed for the next location......

For two years, he appeared at the scene of a crime that he thought was suspicious, shuttling around the city, sometimes helping if things were wrong, but it was just a matter of time. He walked around the world at night, not to do chivalrous justice, but to find a truth, the truth about his wife's death......
