Top floor, familiar place. It was quiet at this time, and all the doors were closed. They went downstairs for a walk, didn't go out, and were watching TV at home.

There was no light from the windows of Cao Guisheng's house. Xu You's heart began to beat faster, and before going upstairs, he imagined it many times: after going upstairs, he saw the light on in the room, and the familiar person was sitting at the table, watching the news and drinking at the same time.

Open the door, enter the door, close the door. Xu You's movements were fast and light, trying not to make a sound. He stood inside the door for a few minutes to allow his eyes to adjust to the faint light inside. I can barely see something now.

There are leftovers on the table, and a rat is scurrying away from the scene of the crime. In Cao Guisheng's bedroom, the bedding on the bed is messy, this is not his habit, he likes to fold the quilt neatly. Xu You's room was the same as usual, and he rarely came back to live. The plastic bucket in the bathroom contained clothes, soaked in laundry detergent and water, and when I got closer, there was already a stench. Cao Guisheng's dirty clothes will not be let go overnight, no matter how late it is, he will wash and dry it before going to sleep.

Xu Yu sat heavily on the stool.

All signs indicate that Cao Guisheng has not returned home for several days. Moreover, his going out was not a planned thing, it was a temporary and hasty decision. So...... Xu You didn't dare to imagine that a few days ago, the body that was burned to charcoal in the school security room would be his only relative in this world-Cao Guisheng. He felt his body being hollowed out in an instant. He walked quickly to the bathroom, his chest and abdomen churning, and he opened his mouth and vomited.

Xu Yu sat on the floor of the bathroom.

He was wondering, was that charred corpse really Uncle Cao? So, how did Li Chuang escape the poison, and how could Cao Guisheng be killed by Li Chuang in the security room. What happened during this time?

Xu You felt that he killed Cao Guisheng.

He didn't regret killing Wu Chang'an, but he hated that he killed Wu Chang'an and was discovered by Li Chuang. Too careless. If it had been done seamlessly, Cao Guisheng would not have poisoned Li Chuang's tea because he protected him. It must have been noticed by Li Chuang, so he was poisoned by Li Chuang.

Xu You suddenly thought of something, he stood up, walked to his room, and moved the bedside table. There is a loose brick on the back wall. Xu You pulled out the brick vigorously, and there was indeed something inside, it was a letter.

From high school to college, Xu You didn't like to talk and rarely communicated with people, even if Cao Guisheng was born, Xu You didn't want to talk to him more. So Cao Guisheng thought of a way to open his heart knot for him through letters. Every time Cao Guisheng finished writing a letter, he would hide it behind this loose brick, and if Xu You replied to the letter, he would also put it inside, which was a secret that could not be said between Xu You and Cao Guisheng.

Xu Yu leaned to the window and opened the letter.

Son, allow me to call you that.

Although you and I are not related by blood, you were raised by me, so it is not too much to call you a child.

When you read this letter, I am no longer alive. Please forgive me for being selfish, henceforth, I can't take care of you anymore. Leaving you alone in this hurtful world, I can't rest assured, maybe I'll die blindly.

But son, the world is beautiful after all, and we can't completely deny her original truth, goodness and beauty because of the miserable situation of you and me. I hope you can let go of your hatred. You didn't have a happy childhood, you didn't have good memories, you didn't enjoy a minute of pampering from your parents, it's all my fault. I shouldn't tell you the truth, but I promised your mother back then that I would avenge her and be ashamed. She is the most beautiful and kind woman I have ever met, and at the same time the most pitiful woman. If she hadn't experienced those painful things, I think she would have wished you a happy life.

You should find a beautiful and kind girl, fall in love, get married, have children, and live a happy life with them, instead of being trapped by hatred. Revenge is a road of no return, and once you embark on this road, you will never recover.

Li Chuang didn't drink the cup of poisoned tea, he found out. I'm going to go to him, I can't let anyone hurt you. If I die, please don't grieve and hope you continue to live your life as usual. Don't avenge me, leave everything to the law. In addition, the house and property have been handed over to reliable people, and you do not have to accept it so that others will see through the relationship between you and me. Don't come back again. All the money I've saved up is in the hole in the wall, and you can take it as you please.

Father, Cao Guisheng

24 May 1995

Xu You felt that his eyes were hot, his nose was sour, and tears flowed out and dripped on Cao Guisheng's suicide note. Tears, this is a strange thing, although I have seen a lot in my life, but those are someone else's. It comes out of my eye sockets, very rarely, this is the second or third time.

From now on, there will be one more person on Xu Yu's revenge list - Li Chuang.

Xu You folded the suicide note, put it in his pocket, returned to the room, and found the money left by Cao Guisheng in the hole in the wall. When he got to the door, he turned around, and looked as hard as he could, one last time.

Walking out of this door, his heart will be even harder. Yes, a careless person, his heart, can no longer install anything related to gentleness.

The person who reported the case was the owner of the Muqiao Township Guest House. She lowered her voice very low, trembling a little, and seemed scared, "I'm going to report the crime, comrade policeman, the murderer you wanted, Li ...... Li Chuang, stay in our guest house......"

Wu Ping ordered a good soldier and set off immediately. Before leaving, he told Lu Qingqing to contact the Muqiao Township Police Station as soon as possible, and asked them to secretly fence off the guest house first, and then act when he arrived.

Muqiao Township is a relatively remote township in Simao County, 60 kilometers away from the county seat, there is only one township road to enter, the road surface has not been hardened, potholes, it is difficult to walk. Wu Ping urged the driver to speed up, the car was bumpy, and people were sitting in it, and their internal organs were about to be torn apart.

At half past five in the afternoon, the jeep stopped on the side of the road 100 meters away from the Muqiao Township Guest House. Wu Ping, Liu Debao, and two other criminal policemen jumped out of the car. Wu Ping signaled the driver to stand by in the car, not to turn off the engine, and to be ready to pursue at any time.

The police of the police station formed a circle around the guest house and crouched behind the shelter. Leading the team was Deputy Director Liu Weimin.

"How many of you?" Wu Ping asked Liu Weimin.

"Three. I, plus two assistant police officers. ”

"Only three? How can I hold it, what if the suspect runs away before I arrive. What are you good at? ”

"Martial team, there's no way. The director took people to the village early in the morning to go on a mission, but he couldn't be contacted and hasn't come back yet. people, he took them all. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about that. How's it going, what's going on now? ”

"According to your request, we don't dare to startle the snake, we have been closely monitoring, and we have not found anything abnormal for the time being."

"Are people still inside?"

"Yes."

"Good. You guard the perimeter, and we'll go in and arrest them. Wu Ping pulled out his pistol and made a gesture, and Liu Debao and they quickly followed.

The boss was a woman, tall and thin, and when Wu Ping entered the door, she was hiding under the counter and shivering.

"What are you hiding here, people, in which room?" Liu Debao pulled her up.

"Thank goodness you guys are finally here, and you scared the hell out of me." The female boss was covered in cold sweat and stammered a little, "Third floor, turn right to the last room." ”

Wu Ping grabbed Liu Debao and let him walk behind him. Every time he went out on an arrest mission, Liu Debao rushed to the front, but every time he was blocked by Wu Ping. The four of them walked quickly and lightly. There are three rooms on the third floor, one on the left and two on the right of the corridor, the door is closed, and it is very quiet.

Stopped at the door of the second room on the right, Wu Ping's fingers hooked three, and the two criminal policemen worked together to kick the door open, and Wu Ping and Liu Debao raised their guns and rushed to the room.

The room was empty.
