On the bank of the Tonghui River in the east of the capital, there is a brand new luxury villa complex. At night, from a distance, countless ginkgo biloba and aspen trees over 20 years old surround a cluster of villas. This villa occupies a lot of land, but at this time there are only three or four houses with lights on, and the wind whins through the treetops. During the day, it looks gorgeous Western-style architecture, but at night it has the ghost of Mori because of its lack of popularity.

Rigor jumped into the courtyard from the wall, and under the cover of four or five winds, the movement of the landing was no louder than the sound of one or two fallen leaves, so light that the two German border herders who were guarding the door only half stood up, turned their ears around, and then lazily lay down again. In the middle of the courtyard is a swimming pool in a sunroom, a pool of sparkling blue water, through the glass roof, reflecting the white stone on the front of the villa in light blue.

Feng Weixing swam in circles in the pool. The heating in the sunroom is not particularly good, the temperature is a bit low, and people can only swim in the pool constantly to maintain their body temperature. As he swam along, he suddenly felt something strange around him, and suddenly jumped out of the water, wiping the water stains on his face while stepping on the water, and then he saw a man, dressed in black clothes and wearing a black baseball cap on his head, as if suddenly out of the ground, was squatting on the edge of the pool, looking at him quietly.

Feng Weixing sank with a "grunt", and in a panic, he even drank a few sips of water. When he came out again, he was already on the other side of the pool more than ten meters away. He looked around and found that the two bodyguards who had been sitting by the pool were gone, while the man in black on the other side was still looking at him, but he had pushed the brim of his hat upwards, revealing half of his face that had been covered by shadows, with a hint of sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Feng Weixing climbed out of the pool and stood on the edge of the pool wearing only a pair of swimming trunks, not knowing for a moment whether it was safer to walk over or stop still. A cool breeze squeezed through the crack in the door of the conservatory, causing goosebumps to rise on his skin. The man finally stood up, picked up the towel from the beach chair, rolled it into a sturdy towel roll with his hand, pulled away and threw it straight over.

The towel roll crossed the pool and smashed right into his arms without being biased. Feng Weixing unfolded the bath towel and draped it over his shoulders and smiled bitterly. After all, he is a person who has been mixed up on the road, and he understands what it means to fall down and not fall, especially when he saw that the two bodyguards were lying at the feet of the man, motionless and uncertain, life and death were unknown, and he instantly broke out in a cold sweat. With the determination that he could not avoid a blessing or a curse, he walked towards the man.

"Yanzi," he stood in front of him, although he was forced to calm down, his face still couldn't hide the uneasiness and fear, "If you want to come, come here, what is this?" My brother is old, but he can't withstand a few frightes. ”

took off his hat rigorously, and his posture and tone were more like a master than Feng Weixing: "Brother Feng, long time no see." ”

Feng Weixing had already seen the news of Rigor escaping from the detention center on TV in the afternoon, so when he suddenly saw him appear in his villa, he was so panicked that he lost his temper for a while. At this time, seeing that he didn't have any anger around him, it was obviously not like he had come to find trouble for himself, so he let go of half of his heart. He pressed the bell, and several capable young men rushed in, and suddenly saw two companions fall to the ground, and there was another stranger by the pool.

Feng Weixing patted Yan Yan on the shoulder and said to them, "Okay, don't embarrass me." He used to be a special forces, a senior in your industry, and if you really make a move, you are not his opponent combined. ”

Rigorous smiled and said: "By the way, there are still two lying at the gate, you can go and take a look." Don't be too anxious, I didn't pay much attention to them, poured a glass of cold water and woke up. ”

Feng Weixing sneered: "Yan Zi, your kung fu can be seen to have grown!" I spent a lot of money on this whole villa to hire someone to install a protective system imported from Germany on the periphery, but I didn't expect you to stop cooking. While he was talking, he put on his yukata, picked up the hardwood cigarette case on the coffee table and threw it to Rigor Rigorous, "Smoke one, it's suffocating in it, right?" ”

Yan Yan took it in his hand and looked at it: "Yo, it's still the blue and soft Hibiscus King, high-end!" He took one out of his lips directly, and then put the whole box of cigarettes into his pocket, "I smoked a box of 'Evergrande' for three yuan a day, and I almost forgot what good cigarettes tasted like." ”

Feng Weixing sighed: "I know you have suffered inside. What do you want, just ask. Although I don't have the convenience to have it recently, I can still get 1.8 million yuan. ”

Rigorously lit a cigarette, the child sipped milk, greedily and anxiously took a few big puffs, and then smiled: "Brother Feng, I took so much effort to come out of it, just for your 1.8 million yuan?" You're underestimating your brother! ”

Feng Weixing's face changed: "Then you say, what do you want me to do?" ”

Rigor did not answer him immediately. Instead, he stretched out his limbs and lay on a beach chair. Then he brought the cigarette to his mouth, took a deep breath, and exhaled two long cigarettes from his nostrils. The smoke is slender, the fingers are slender, and even the green smoke that is swaying up is slender, he lazily raised his face and sighed softly to himself: "Comfortable!" ”

Far from the light pollution of the city, you can clearly see the bright stars on the deep blue sky through the glass roof. While admiring the starry sky, he said slowly: "Look, how blue it is!" I remember when I was on a mission, I could often see the night sky like this. After going back to Beijing for so many years, it seems that there is never time to lie down and look at the stars in the sky like this. ”

Feng Weixing smiled awkwardly and didn't answer.

After smoking most of the cigarette rigorously, he pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray next to him, and Fang said lightly: "Give Liu Wei to me." ”

Feng Weixing seemed to have been burned by a cigarette butt, and his whole body trembled, "What do you want him to do?" ”

"What for?" Rigor sneered, "You know better than me, why did he abscond?" ”

Feng Weixing was silent, he stared at the sparkling water and hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "That's right, I let him run, but I promise you that KK was definitely not killed by him." ”

"What I need is not your guarantee, whether he killed KK or not, it doesn't matter if you say it, I want the conclusion of the task force."

His tone was so serious that Feng Weixing looked embarrassed, "Yanzi, I know that you are aggrieved in it, and my brother also knows that you are by no means a person who can do such a lack of morality." You listen to me tell you, Dawei has been following me for many years, fighting the world in the past few years, he has done everything that should be done and what should not be done, if he wants to make a person disappear, there are many ways, and he will not use such a stupid method as dividing the corpse. Moreover, even if the body is divided, let the police find clothes and other evidence together, for fear that the police will not be able to find the source of the body, this can only be done by a novice who kills people for the first time, you know? David isn't that stupid! ”

"That's hard to say. How do you know that the murderer didn't make a deliberate mistake to lead the detection in the wrong direction? You see, now, haven't you succeeded in burning the fire on me? This person must be very aware of my relationship with KK, so he deliberately put the lighter under KK with his clothes. ”

"You're right." Feng Weixing nodded, "But Dawei doesn't need to pull you into the water!" I've heard something, I don't know if you know. It is said that the body was cut very professionally, so the task force suspected that the murderer may have been a butcher or surgeon, or, there is a possibility ......"

looked at him rigorously, but the other party deliberately pursed his lips to create suspense. Rigorous smiled, and then picked up the second half of his sentence: "The murderer may have learned human anatomy." ”

Feng Weixing had a surprised expression on his face: "You know? ”

"Yesterday's arraignment by the task force in the detention center was just to ask this question, and they asked me if I had studied human structural anatomy when I was in the army."

"Huh? How do you answer? ”

"Tell me the truth." Rigorously replied lightly, as if talking about something that had nothing to do with him, "I told them that I was not only proficient in human anatomy, but also that when I was in the special forces, I had countless souls under gunfire." ”

Feng Weixing opened his mouth wide in shock: "Are you crazy? How do you talk like that? ”

Rigorous replied simply: "Because I didn't kill anyone!" ”

"Anyway, Dawei definitely has nothing to do with this."

"Since it's okay, why are you so weak and let him run?"

Feng Weixing sighed: "Yan Zi, he is different from you. You are a person with a background, and no one dares to mess around with you when you go in. Dawei may not be able to go in. I'm afraid that he won't be able to endure hardship when he enters it, in case he talks nonsense and shakes out all the previous things, your brother and I will suffer for more than ten years in vain. ”

"Don't worry, I'm covering him when he goes in, and I won't let him say anything more. All I want now is for him to come with me. ”

"It's my brother who can't stand you. But where David is now, I really don't know. ”

An impatient look appeared on his face, and he suddenly made a move, and two fingers pinched his throat like a vice: "My hand is working hard, compressing the vagus nerve, and the heart is stopped, and the forensic doctor will not be able to detect the cause of death at that time." Think about it before you speak! ”

Feng Weixing wanted to swallow his saliva dryly, but his throat was tight and he couldn't swallow it, so he choked his neck: "Yanzi, this is the answer if you kill me." I gave him two million and a plane ticket to take refuge in Guangdong, but he didn't take that flight at all, and he didn't know where he went. He hasn't been in touch with me for two months since before the Chinese New Year. ”

Staring at him rigorously, Feng Weixing's helplessness seemed to be real, and there was no sign of lying, he slowly let go of his hand, "Then why are you hiding too?" Who are you hiding? ”

"'Little Beauty.'"

"Haven't you two been working together?"

"When doing business, there will inevitably be a time when the conversation will collapse."

looked at Feng Weixing rigorously and steadily. The sparkling waves reflected on Feng Weixing's face, and the beating light and shadow rendered that face into a mask of undulating ravines. As if seeing Satan's eyes suddenly open, he suddenly woke up.

From the night before yesterday to twenty minutes ago, he had been looking forward to the moment when the two met, thinking that as long as he saw Feng Weixing, he would be able to find Liu Wei and clear his suspicion of murder. It was only then that he fully understood. It turned out that it was always his misjudgment.

Rigor lowered his arm, only to feel that his mouth was full of bitterness, I don't know if it was the reason for the cigarette, he came with hope, but at the moment he was full of disappointment.

He smiled wryly, got up and walked towards the door.

Feng Weixing asked behind his back: "You...... Where do you want to go next? Brother has brothers in several countries, and it is a matter of asking people for money. ”

"I'm not going anywhere."

"Then you ......"

"Go to the Public Security Bureau and turn yourself in."

"Brother, are you really crazy? If you go back like this, they won't kill you? ”

The rigorous pace did not stop: "Love whoever you want." ”

"Little Thirteen!" Feng Weixing shouted his nickname from more than ten years ago behind his back, and he was in a trance, and his feet were suddenly nailed to the ground. This shout seemed to penetrate the years, and he heard the sound of the wind whirring in the depths of his ears, which was the sound of the pine waves and forests in his ears as he hid among the branches and leaves and waited for the target to appear. He turned slowly.

Feng Weixing looked at him from a distance: "Thirteen, I'm sorry. ”

Stern and forgiving, he opened the door and did not reveal his insincere apology.

"You've got to find someone to watch over your 'third,' and the manager of your store isn't very reliable." The little beauty's fancy will not let go easily. ”

The rigorous footsteps did not stop, but he heard every word Feng Weixing said clearly.

The old Honda was still waiting for him not far from the villa. As soon as he got into the car, he said to the driver, "Ask what 'third' is all about?" ”

The driver dialed his mobile phone, and when the call went through, he immediately switched to a hands-free call, and the voice of the store manager came from the speaker. Listening to the conversation between the two people, the more rigorous his face became. It turned out that ten days ago, a very influential evening newspaper in Tianjin published a news that the evening newspaper reporter went undercover as a waiter for half a month, revealing the secret of one of the largest male sex trading places in Tianjin. Subsequently, the local TV station followed up and followed up for three consecutive days, resulting in "one-third" being jointly seized by the Public Security Bureau and the Taxation Bureau. In the end, although it was able to reopen after paying a fine due to lack of evidence, business plummeted, and the famous seafood restaurant that was once a busy restaurant is now full of people.

Rigor just listened, and never made a sound. The driver hung up the phone, glanced in the rearview mirror, and saw that his face was so heavy that he could drip water, so he said cautiously: "Or, I'll go to Tianjin tomorrow?" ”

Rigor shook his head: "Someone is intent on making trouble, and wants to poach the "third" when I can't take care of things, and it's useless for you to go." ”

"That'...... So what to do? ”

When it comes to the fate of "one-third", there is real anxiety on the face of rigor. In the catering industry in Beijing, many people know that Cheng Cheng owns four famous restaurants in the Beijing-Tianjin area under his name, but he does not pay much attention to the daily operation and management of the restaurant, and basically leaves it to the restaurant manager to take care of it. His motto is: Let professional people concentrate on doing professional things. So the other three, including "a café", he would only show up once in a month or two. Only "one-third", he regularly patrols at least once a week when there are no special guests. Others are puzzled, only know that he attaches great importance to the "one-third" business, and only a few of the most intimate people around him know the meaning of "one-third" to him.

Gazing rigorously at the night outside the window, the street lamps on both sides of the highway reflected in his eyes from time to time, passing by the lights of the car or illuminating his face, and then the light would disappear and the shadow would return to his face. He was silent for a long time, and finally replied briefly: "I'll take care of it." ”

The old-fashioned table clock in the hall had already struck twelve times. Ji Xiaoou sat in front of the computer and kept refreshing the web page. Although she had no sleep all night last night, so that her body was sore and weak throughout the day, she still had no sleepiness at the moment.

Since the news of Rigor Cheng's escape from the detention center was made public in the afternoon, the comments on the Internet have been like a nest, especially the Weibo of "Zhan Yu's father", which posted a very simple text at 16:34, just seven words: "Is it to escape or release?" By the time Ji Xiaoou saw this Weibo at around 8 o'clock in the evening, the comments on the Weibo had reached 30,000, and the number of retweets was even more terrifying, exceeding six figures. She roughly flipped through the comments and forwards, and like other similar incidents, the content of the comments could not escape several types: scolding the government, scolding the system, scolding the police, and then, scolding the rigorous, scolding the Yan family, young and old.

The screen was full of insults and curses, and every word was like a small *, bombarding her eyeballs. Ji Xiaoou pressed her heart, and that place was like a thousand catties of boulders, making it difficult for her to breathe. From the exposure of the Zhan Yu case, whether it is netizens or the Yan family and the Zhan family, they all have their own distinct positions in this matter, I am afraid that no one is in a dilemma like her, no matter which side they lean, they will feel sorry for the other side. She turned off the computer and went to bed, who knew that the feeling of lying down sleepless was even more uncomfortable, her heart was beating fast and heavy, she held her hands coldly with each other, waiting for something with her eyes wide open in the dark. At first she didn't understand what she was waiting for, but when she finally figured it out, she sat up.

She subconsciously believed that Rigor would return, so she was waiting for him to appear.

After a day of noisy community, together with the people who fell asleep, sank into the deepest silence, only the occasional car passing on the road outside the door, temporarily breaking the silence of the midnight.

Ji Xiaoou buried his face in his knees, trying to stop his cranky thoughts. She maintained this position until she heard a crisp "snap". The voice was so clear, it seemed to come from deep within her eardrums. She tilted her face in shock, the room still dark, unusual.

She wanted to lie down, but her body didn't listen, as if another mysterious force in her body manipulated her arm and pulled the curtain open.

The yellow wind that blew for a day caused the temperature outside to drop by ten degrees in one day, but it sent a clear night sky. Looking through the small north window, the deep clear sky outside the window seemed to be a well, and above the windowsill hung two pots of lush spider plants, and the vines coiled into a green net. When she opened the net, she saw a person standing five or six meters away from the window. A quiet black silhouette with a little red fire flickering on and off.

Like being punched head-on, Ji Xiaoou had no premonition about his tears. She didn't dare to imagine that rigor could really appear in front of her again, and tears suddenly flowed out. She grabbed a coat and draped it over her pajamas and ran out of the door, not daring to blink her eyes all the way, for fear that tears would burst out of control in front of him.

When he stood outside the window, he didn't see any lights in the house, and he thought that Ji Xiaoou had gone home. The loss in my heart turned into green smoke that was blown away from my lips. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned his head suddenly, and unexpectedly saw Ji Xiaoou appear in his field of vision and ran towards him. The cigarette in his hand fell to the ground in consternation.

Ji Xiaoou stood a few steps away from him, and the two looked at each other quietly for a while, and she suddenly threw herself into his arms. Rigor seemed to be frightened, and hesitated for a long time before opening his arms and gently hugging her. I don't know if it was because of the cold or the excitement, her body kept shivering, and her teeth chattered. The voice made Rigor feel distressed, and he couldn't help but tighten his arms. Ji Xiaoou has obviously lost weight, his originally slender waist is becoming more and more difficult to grasp, and the warm and soft feeling that has been unfamiliar for several months has made his eyes begin to swell, but he still maintains vigilance against the surrounding environment, and bows his head and whispers: "Let's go in and talk." ”

The eyes of the two were less than ten centimeters apart at the moment, and Rigor instantly saw the tears on her face. He was stunned for a moment, bent over, and actually picked her up horizontally.

At the moment when her feet left the ground, Ji Xiaoou had a moment of illusion, as if everything that had happened in the past two months was a nightmare, she opened her eyes, and time still resided in the heavy snow at the beginning of the year.

Rigor carried her into the room and placed her on the bed, pulling the quilt over to cover her bare calves. Ji Xiaoou was still holding his shoulders and trembling. He gently unchipped her arm, unzipped her down jacket, and swept her frozen hands into his arms.

Ji Xiaoou kept her head down, and she couldn't see her face, she could only see one huge droplet after another smashing on the quilt, sneaking in silently, and disappearing without a trace. He reached out to wipe her tears, but she grabbed his hand and buried her face in his palm.

Rigor felt the wetness of his palms, and heard her staccato voice come out of a deep hole: "What if...... These things...... None of this happened...... It's good that it didn't happen......"

Rigor looked at her, but smiled unexpectedly: "What stupid thing to say?" Look at me, I've never dreamed. No matter what happens, you have to be honest with it, right? ”

All of Ji Xiaoou's small movements suddenly stopped. After a long while, she let go of her strict hands, opened her bow left and right to wipe away her tears, and raised her head again, the expression on her face had regained her composure. It wasn't until then that she realized that she didn't have a good image in her head. lifted the quilt and got out of bed, the hem of the nightdress could only cover the middle of her thighs, and her two long bare legs were unscrupulously exposed in front of the rigorous eyes.

Rigorous eyes couldn't be taken off for a moment. He smiled and said: "I have been in the detention center for two months, and all the people I see in my eyes are men, and I suspect that even the rats in there are men, and you are dressed like this and dangling in front of my eyes, aren't you forcing me to make mistakes?" ”

Ji Xiaoou was originally a little shy, so when he said this, he calmed down, picked up a sportswear and walked in front of him with bare legs. In the bathroom, she washed her face with cold water, and straightened her long hair into braids. When she got dressed and walked out, although there was no makeup on her face, she was pink and white, like a peach blossom in full bloom, which made Rigor lose his mind for a moment.

She sat down beside him, took his left hand, and pressed the back of it to her cheek: "Have you found the person you're looking for?" ”

Rigor didn't answer immediately, but took out a box of cigarettes with his movable right hand, picked up one and asked, "Is it okay?" ”

Ji Xiaoou has always hated people smoking, even if she likes to watch the way she smokes, it is limited to the outdoors. Once someone smokes indoors, especially her beauty shop full of cotton fabrics, the smell of stinky e-liquid may not dissipate for half a month. But she turned her head to look at Rigor and there were rare traces of annoyance on his face. The two looked at each other for a moment, and she knew the answer to that question by heart.

She took the lighter from his hand, pressed it and brought it to him, let him light a cigarette in her hand, watched him take a deep breath, and then slowly spit it out, before asking, "What about that......?" Are you going to go back? ”

"Where are you going?"

"Detention center."

"Return, of course."

"But ......"

Yan Yan immediately pressed her mouth: "Don't say it, don't say it!" As soon as you say this, if I really run away, you are not only shielding, but also instigating crimes, understand? If I want to run, it's too easy. But if I really run away, not only will the old man and the old lady of our family be unlucky, but I am afraid you will also be implicated. Don't think the police are so stupid, they are just slow to react, and when they react and follow the roots, they will always come to you. ”

Ji Xiaoou's mouth was covered and he couldn't make a sound, so he could only glance at him with big eyes.

"But don't be afraid, as long as I go back, no one will trouble you again."

"I'm not afraid!" Ji Xiaoou finally made a voice under the cover of his palm, "If I were afraid, I wouldn't have left you last night." ”

Rigorous hands moved away from her mouth, fingers caressing her cheeks: "Thank you, it proves that I didn't believe the wrong person with a vicious look." Xiaoou, there is something I want to entrust to you. ”

"You say."

"Remember 'a third'?"

"Of course I do." Ji Xiaoou nodded, "It's not so easy to forget." I saw the first time I saw such a splendid duck shop, and I was impressed. ”

Rigorous chuckled: "Okay, I can still tell jokes now, it's really good, follow me!" ”

"If you put gold on your face, I'll be ashamed of you. What's the matter, go on! ”

"It's very simple, when I go back to the detention center, you go to meet the old man and the old lady of our family, and tell them that I can't manage so much in it, 'there is a café' and several other shops are at their disposal, and if you want to keep it and want to sell it, whatever you want, only 'one-third', absolutely absolutely can't be moved."

"Why? Why leave only the 'third'? Ji Xiaoou stared at him, and at this moment she understood the true purpose of his trip. She wondered how special the "third" was that he could risk another trip before turning himself in.

Rigorously puff up a cigarette and "tell you a story." ”

"Say it."

"Once upon a time, there were three stupid boys who bowed to each other, and three of them knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying that they did not want to be born in the same year and the same month, but only to die in the same year and month. They thought that if they kowtowed, they could really live and die together in the future. Later, many years passed, one of the three went first, and the other did not dare to see him before he left, thinking that he could pretend that he was still alive without watching him go. Over the years, he hasn't even deleted his phone number, and every time he changes to a new phone, he takes that number seriously, pretending that he has always been there, pretending that he has always been on the other end of the phone......

Rigor looked up at the ceiling. The freshly renovated ceiling is pure and immaculate, nothing to look at. But he craned his neck and looked at it for a long time. What Ji Xiaoou saw was his suddenly flushed eyes.

"So that store is called a third, because one of them is missing?"

"Yes."

"The person who hasn't deleted the phone call has been you?"

"Yes."

"The other of the two who are alive is Brother Ruimin?"

"Yes."

Ji Xiaoou lowered his head and thought about it, and smiled reluctantly: "A touching story of brotherly love, let you tell it so badly, you are really not a storyteller." ”

Yan Yan stroked her braids, "If I have the opportunity in the future, I will tell you well from beginning to end, but I don't have time now." Listen, this is an important matter, whether I can come out in the future or not, I plan to hand over the 'third' to you, and then I will write you a formal power of attorney, and you will run it for me. ”

Ji Xiaoou was taken aback: "Give it to me?" I've never done a restaurant business, so you can leave it to me for such a big one? Are you still talking nonsense with a fever? ”

Rigor shook his head: "No way, let's pull out the big one among the short ones." The few members of our family have been spoiled in the system, and there is no one who is suitable for business. ”

"What about Brother Ruimin? Why don't you entrust it to Brother Ruimin? ”

"Him?" Rigorous smiled, "He reads too much, and he has long been stupid in reading people." His set of gangsters in foreign companies is okay, but he really can't mix in society. ”

"Then you believe me?"

Rigor held her face and looked into her eyes from a very close distance: "People can only understand many things when they are unlucky, who is true and who is false, my heart is transparent." ”

Ji Xiaoou also looked at him intently, and a layer of damp mist gradually appeared on his eyeballs, once he left, the mountains and rivers would be far away in the future, and no one knew if it would be life and death.

"When are you leaving?"

"Now."

"But now it's dark and cold outside."

"It's okay, I'll find a police station to go in, squat casually overnight, and I'll go back to the detention center early tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll wait for you, I know you'll definitely come back!"

The strict thick eyebrows raised subtly: "If I am really sentenced to death, will you still believe me?" ”

"Yes, I will always believe in you." Ji Xiaoou's lips were tightly pursed, almost in a straight line, and her face was as cold as if she was resigned to her fate at the moment, "However, I will never let you be sentenced to death." I will pray to God that I am willing to prove your innocence at the cost of everything I have now. ”

At this moment, the wind outside the window is blowing more and more tightly, as if the whole world is shaking upside down, which more and more sets off the fragile silence and closure of the room. Yan looked at her quietly for dozens of seconds, and then opened his arms, "Come, come to me." ”

Rigor just wanted to hug her. But she did get closer, and he was overwhelmed by the smell of her. It's not a perfume, it's not a shower gel, it's a clean body fragrance that smells like fresh milk before it starts to ferment, and the sweet fragrance still has a hint of acidity, which is very intoxicating.

He finally pressed his lips to hers, and even through many layers of clothing, he could feel the delicate young flesh in his arms. Her body was a little stiff and cautious at first, but slowly, it became soft and submissive, and some of the reserved reserves she had just had had disappeared.

He kissed her hard, hugged her as if he were going to crush her into his own body, and the unspeakable physical pleasures of the past were mobilized within him, tempting him to go to Elysium through a strange secret path.

The two of them fell on the bed, Ji Xiaoou closed his eyes, his body trembled, and his heart was pounding. She could clearly feel the changes in her body, the desire that seemed to be on fire, as if every inch of her skin had turned into an organ to release her passion. She allowed herself to relax, telling herself that no matter what happened, she had to let it be. No amount of doubt or reason can change the pleasure of the soul and the body at this moment. The mountains and rivers are far away, and the good luck is uncertain, so it is also like a parting of life and death.

But suddenly, Rigor pushed her away, bounced off the bed, and rushed into the bathroom.

Ji Xiaoou was lying on the bed, his eyes were blank, and he didn't know what this sudden messy accident was for. Until she heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom, she stood up, straightened up the scattered clothes, and gently pushed open the bathroom door, which made her stop in surprise.

Rigor is sticking his whole head under the faucet of the sink and letting the cold water pour over his head.

Ji Xiaoou leaned against the door frame and looked at it for a while, and finally understood what he was doing. He is trying to extinguish his heart with cold water*, interrupting the rhythm of the two emotions.

A helpless smile appeared on her face: "As for it? ”

Rigor turned off the faucet, picked up the towel by the sink and wiped his face, and looked at himself in the mirror, he replied, "I can't touch you." ”

"Why?"

"Because I know, you women are very strange, men's feelings are all faint after going to bed, women are just the opposite, once they promise each other, they will always be remembered."

"You're trying to say that if something really happened to us today, I'll always remember you?"

"Yes, all the time."

"So what?"

Rigor turned around and returned to his usual expression: "Don't be careful." Actually, I think it's not easy for the two of us to let you down, so we must not finish the matter in a daze, always find a longer period of time without being disturbed, and enjoy the process especially calmly and happily. ”

Ji Xiaoou kept looking at him, wanting to speak but didn't insert it, and when she heard the end, she suddenly laughed, then didn't say a word, turned around and left the bathroom.

Strictly chased out, but saw her sitting on the edge of the bed, holding the lighter he left behind, leaning into her mouth and lighting a cigarette. The cigarette was lit, and she took a big breath, and spat out a long puff of green smoke without a teacher, and her posture was skillful, as if she had done this action a thousand times.

Rigor sat beside her, looking for something to say, but he didn't know how to open his mouth to resolve this sudden cold scene.

"Say something." Ji Xiaoou didn't want the embarrassment between the two to last too long.

"Say what?"

"Tell me...... Tell me about your time in the Special Forces. ”

Strictly turned his face away, watching the light outside the window squeeze in through the top of the curtain, scattering into a bright fan on the ceiling, Ji Xiaoou's white face floated clearly on this glimmer of light. He couldn't say the word "no" in front of this face.

The stories that lingered in his memory, he never told anyone. The reason why I don't say it is, firstly, because of "discipline", if you talk too much, you will leak secrets, and if you say half and leave half, you will hang people's appetites, which is too unkind; The second is because there are some things that you will never believe if you have not experienced them, so it is better not to say them. The hardships I endured at those times, such as being tied to the back of a jeep and dragged away for long-distance training, and the sides of my thighs were ground to a bloody blur, * that is, even the blood of the belt was torn down; In the river water, the skin on the tips of the fingers is soaked so that a layer of skin can be peeled off with a slight stroke; The survival training in the field was really like the Red Army crossing the grassland back then, and after running out of ammunition and food, the belt was boiled and drunk. When I was on a mission for the first time, my brain was blank after hitting the target, and when I cried when I remembered it when I returned to the station, the whole person was going to collapse, but no one sympathized with me, and I would not gain the comfort of many people like in the TV series, but I needed to face the contempt and indifference of my comrades. These stories, if told to these friends today, will only be described by them as "stupid hats" and ridiculed, and they will never understand the secret pride of himself as the protector of the republic when he walked down the street in civilian clothes, looking at the pedestrians hurrying by, and would not understand what is truly unforgettable, what is dedication at all costs.

Ji Xiaoou waited for a moment, but didn't see him respond, so he said, "If you don't want to mention it, forget it." I'm sorry when I didn't say anything just now. ”

Rigorous coughed: "It's not that I don't want to mention it, but I really don't have anything to say." What would you like to hear? ”

"I want to hear it, and you don't want to say it. Rigorous, I want to ask you, have you ever cried? It's from ...... Did you ever cry when you fell off a helicopter and were judged by the doctor to be unable to stand up? ”

"Beware of this guy...... Why does she tell you everything? Did you two bow down? ”

"Answer seriously, don't change the subject!"

"Do you really want to hear it?" Rigor sighed, "You don't necessarily believe what I said." In my life, I don't cry much, but it's not a lot. And as soon as I started crying, it would go on and on for a long time. However, when you've experienced a real heartbreak, some things don't matter. ”

"Can you tell me? Your past story ......"

"Stories from the past? Special forces? ”

"Yes."

Rigor laughed and said, "I know you like to watch special forces TV series, but let me tell you, the real special forces are not as cool as you think, and they are not as romantic as they are on TV." There are only two kinds of people on the battlefield, the dead and the living, and there will never be a god-man. When faced with life and death, there is only killing and being killed, and there is not so much nonsense. You're really not fit to listen to this, it's too violent. ”

Ji Xiaoou hesitated for a moment: "That...... What about the heartbreaking point you just mentioned? Is it suitable for me to listen to? ”

Rigorous and silent for a long time, so silent that Ji Xiaoou thought that he had asked another extremely inappropriate question, but he opened his mouth unexpectedly.

"On one mission, because I was careless, I made a particularly low-level mistake and my partner's secondary shooter was injured. I carried him to the evacuation point, and he lay on my back and said, "Damn, I haven't touched a woman yet, it's a shame to die like this." I was the only one of the brothers who had ever touched a woman, and I was afraid that he would fall asleep, so I kept talking to him and telling him what a woman was like until he was bleeding dry and closed his eyes...... At the time of his death, he had just passed his twentieth birthday. Later, when I returned to Beijing, I ate, drank, prostituted, gambled, and did all kinds of evil, but I felt that those comrades-in-arms, they were too much of a loss, and they lived too badly! I have to come back for them. ”

Ji Xiaoou turned sideways. The light was dim and she couldn't see the expression on his face, and she reached out and gently stroked his face. Her fingers moved over his cheeks as if they were gliding over a rough rock. The rough hawthorn pricked her fingers and stabbed her heart.

"There are many ways to bring them back to life, but you choose the worst," she said. ”

Hearing this, he lowered his eyes and smiled, and after laughing, he sighed and touched her hair: "You don't understand, if you have the opportunity in the future, I will tell you slowly." ”

Ji Xiaoou understood the subtext in his tone, and knew that no matter how reluctant he was, he couldn't keep him. She looked up and told herself to smile, looking at Rigor as tears rolled in her eyes, she still managed to the corners of her mouth and show the upper and lower rows of white teeth.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

Her brave smile made Rigorous's eyes heat up, and she reached out and patted her on the back of the head. This shot took out the tears in Ji Xiaoou's eyes. Several large tears rolled down her cheeks, down her nose, and into the corners of her mouth.

Rigorously guessed that the taste of the tears must be sour and bitter, at this moment he really wanted to take her away and fly away, as for what to go to the country and leave home, what to displace, what to have a home and difficult to return, wait until he has enjoyed the tenderness and sweetness between his rich lips. However, all he could do at the moment was to gather his mind and zip up his coat. He was going to stand up.

Just then, the phone at the front desk rang suddenly.

The phone is placed on a table on the south side near the gate. Afraid of alarming customers on weekdays, Ji Xiaoou deliberately turned the bell to the lowest. But the soft and beautiful sound during the day, in the middle of the night, through the dark and dreary store, is very terrifying, like a midnight bell. Ji Xiaoou suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, as if something bad was about to befall him. She held her strict hand, and her palms were full of cold sweat.

Rigor was just startled, and then calmed down.

"It's okay!" He said to Ji Xiaoou, "Go and pick it up, maybe it's the kind of harassing call with a child crying and a woman screaming, don't be scared." ”

Ji Xiaoou couldn't help but shudder, he took her hand: "I'll accompany you?" ”

Ji Xiaoou shook his head, let go of his hand, and mustered up the courage to walk out.

On the side of the beauty salon facing the road, all the glass windows were covered with thick velvet curtains, and the whole room was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers, except for the caller ID light on the phone, which lit up a small area around it in flickers and flickers.

Ji Xiaoou groped his way to the front desk, hesitated a few times, and didn't pick up the microphone. For no apparent reason, she just didn't want to answer the call, but the phone rang persistently and firmly, and kept ringing. She put her hand on the stem of the microphone, and her fingers could feel the continuous, faint vibration inside the phone, as if an electric current was being transmitted directly through her arm to her heart, and her heart was pounding.

Leng Buding crossed her hand over her shoulder and lifted the microphone to her ear. She turned her head suddenly, and the owner of her hand was actually strict, and he was not at ease after all, so he followed her. After years of training, once he lifted his heels and walked, his huge size and weight seemed to lose the influence of gravity and became as silent as a cat. Her cheek accidentally rubbed against Rigue's chin, and although she was stung by his thick hawthorn, she found enough security. When her heartbeat finally calmed down, she took a long breath and fed the microphone, no one answered on the phone, but she heard a strange movement, as if someone was gulping into the earpiece, and the sound of snorting was almost like it was coming from under the base of her ear. Her body shook and she couldn't help but take a half step back. Rigorous's arms reached over and wrapped around her chest, wrapping tightly around her. The body temperature from her back gave her the courage to speak again.

"Hello? Who are you? Please speak! ”

There was silence on the phone, and even the sound of breathing was gone. Ji Xiaoou's heart suddenly relaxed, maybe it was really as Yan Yan said, this was a boring midnight harassing call. She removed the microphone from her ear and was about to put it back on the landline when a voice suddenly came from the phone, a man's voice.

"Are you Ji Xiaoou?"

"I am. You ......"

"Tell him to let him go!"

"Hey ......"

There was a beep in the receiver, and the phone was hung up rudely.

Ji Xiaoou held the microphone as if holding a piece of hot pig iron. The whole body seems to be on the top of an iceberg, and the joints are completely stiff. The voice just now, mellow and mellow, is the one that makes people unforgettable once they hear it. Even if he wouldn't name him, she knew who he was.

Rigor took the microphone from her hand, gently buckled it on the landline, and then asked softly, "Who is it?" ”

"Fat Xu."

A rigorous and calm voice suddenly made waves: "Who? ”

"Brother Xu Zi."

"What did he say?"

He ...... He...... He told you to go! ”

In the dark, Ji Xiaoou suddenly became short when she heard the sound of rigorous breathing, and she became afraid: "What does he mean?" Are you alright? ”

Yan Yan didn't answer, stood silent for a moment, he picked up Ji Xiaoou and walked to the back bedroom.

In the bedroom, there is only a small lamp at the head of the bed, and the hazy light and shadow make the person's facial features into strange outlines. Rigor walked to the side of the bed, sat down, and then patted the position next to him, and said to Ji Xiaoou: "Come, you also sit down." ”

Ji Xiaoou stood still and did not move. Rigor pulled her over to sit on her lap, then slowly unzipped her blouse. Ji Xiaoou didn't know what he was going to do, staring at his hands in a daze, watching him slowly take off his shirt. The temperature in the room was still a little low, and she tried to save trouble quickly, and the collarless and sleeveless cotton pajamas were directly put on the tracksuit, and the excess hem was tucked into the waistband of her pants. I saw a layer of goosebumps on my shoulders float clearly. Rigorous hands fell on her shoulders and arms, moving gently, fingertips seemingly filled with pity.

Ji Xiaoou held his hand: "Rigorous, this is not a good time......"

Rigor didn't seem to hear it, and coldly, he pushed Ji Xiaoou away, raised his hand, and slapped her hard.

Ji Xiaoou made a "boom" sound in the depths of his eardrums, and before he could react, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the joints of his two shoulders, and his eyes were dark, and the person had been pressed face down on the bed, and his arms were cut behind him. Then I heard a cracking sound of "stabbing", my back was cold, the pajamas on my upper body had been torn, and my upper body was completely exposed to the air. The base of her skin is really white, and the delicate skin on her back is like a piece of crystal mutton fat jade in the dim halo of the bedside lamp.

Ji Xiaoou panicked all of a sudden, and his voice was forked: "Are you crazy?" ”

Rigor didn't make a sound, just pressed the back of her head and back hard. Ji Xiaoou's face was pressed into the pillow, breathing gradually became difficult, and her survival instinct made her start to struggle desperately. Her upper body could barely move, and the slightest movement of her shoulder was like a tearing pain, and she could only use all her strength to kick both legs, but it was useless. The rigor was so strong that she despaired. She couldn't get in or out of her breath, and her consciousness began to blur for a while. Just when she thought she was about to take a break, Rigorous's hand suddenly let go.

A burst of fresh air came in, she choked unconsciously while breathing heavily, after the catastrophe, crying seemed to be a human instinct, and at some point, the tears unconsciously blurred her face, sticking her long scattered hair to her face one by one.

A rigorous voice sounded above his head, but his tone was surprisingly gentle: "Xiaoou, I'm going to tie you up with this pajamas, I'll tie it tightly, and my arms will hurt a lot later, and then I will be numb, but don't be afraid, someone will untie it for you soon, and after unraveling, you remember to live blood immediately, and there will be no problem." ”

Ji Xiaoou felt something tie his two wrists tightly together. Sure enough, as he said, the feeling of fire burning started from the wrist and spread little by little to the forearm. She endured the severe pain and struggled to twist her upper body: "...... the hell you"

She wanted to ask Rigor if you were a human or a ghost? But she couldn't finish the sentence, a ball of cloth quickly shoved into her mouth, and then her sweatpants were taken off and tossed aside, leaving only a pair of panties on her lower body. Both ankles were tied to the bedside posts, completely incapacitating her legs. Ji Xiaoou wanted to make a sound, but the mass of cloth was so hard against her tongue that she could only make a whining sound. In the midst of her struggle, she saw Rigor stand up and walk around the room.

On the computer desk was the envelope containing the banknotes, which he picked up and put in his pocket. There was a slender glass vase full of water on the small coffee table at the bedside, and a few budding lilies were inserted in it, and he swept it to the floor, and the vase shattered, splashing everywhere, and one or two drops of water even splashed on Ji Xiaoou's face. The bedding was messy, and the traces of struggle and resistance could not be more realistic, and the quilt was kicked to the side of the bed, half of which was dragged to the ground, and he deliberately walked back and forth several times, leaving a few obvious dirty footprints on the white floral quilt cover.

After doing all this, he walked to the side of the bed and squatted down, his eyes met, Ji Xiaoou's black and white eyes looked at him through the gap in his hair, and fear, doubt, and grievance all converged in her eyes. The slap was too heavy, half of her face was swollen at the moment, four eye-catching finger prints, embedded in the white background like a relief, and there was a little blood on the lips that had not yet dried up, I don't know if the teeth touched the tongue when she was beaten, or the corners of the mouth were cracked.

Rigor stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch her face, but stopped in front of her eyes. The hand that hit someone, which used to be able to pull the trigger four hundred and seventy times in a minute, looked so strange now. He had never beaten a woman in his life, this was the first time, and it was still the woman he loved.

"I'm sorry!" He said guiltily: "I don't know if something went wrong, or if it bothered you." ”

Ji Xiaoou raised her head with difficulty, looking at her rigorous eyes, she understood everything. Forgetting all the pain and pain in her flesh, she began to feel herself falling, deeper and darker.

"Xiaoou, take a good look at the 'third' for me, and when the old man and the old lady inherit the inheritance, I can transfer the ownership to you."

This is like confessing her last words, Ji Xiaoou wanted to scold him as a "bastard", but the muscles on her face no longer obeyed her, and she couldn't control the big tears oozing out.

"In the office of the 'third', there is a safe, and all the ledgers and materials of the 'third' are in it. The password to the safe was 040812, the day my brother died. It doesn't matter if you really forget, you go and ask Cheng Xiaoyi, he must remember that day......"

The rigorous voice suddenly stopped, and at this time, not only him, but even Ji Xiaoou heard the faint sound of vehicle braking outside the gate, and he didn't know how many cars were parked outside the door.

Rigor stood up: "No matter what the scene is later, don't make a sound." Turn around and ask the police, you must have bitten you to death, I coerced you, don't be stupid! You can't protect me, and the police won't believe you, so you can't both fold in. ”

The scene behind was very chaotic, and Ji Xiaoou recalled the scene a few days later, and still felt that his memory was fragmented. All she could remember was two loud bangs, the door was kicked open, a few powerful flashlights lit up the room, the tearing pain in her arm had extended to her shoulder, she could not look up, and she could only sweep the corner of her eye to countless feet in leather boots moving rapidly in front of her, dazzling her. She later learned that it was some riot police. Because of the strict identity of the former special forces, almost all of the special police officers were dispatched. But the whole arrest process was unexpectedly smooth, and Rigor only resisted a few times weakly, and was handcuffed to the floor and arrested.

When he was taken away, Ji Xiaoou finally turned his face away with difficulty. She saw rigor. He was dragged from the floor with his arms cuffed behind his back, several black holes in the muzzles of his head pointed at him. His head and face were covered in blood—the gruff boots not only kicked through the flesh on the top of his head, but also cut a hole in his right eyelid, and the blood gushing out of it obscured his vision, making it impossible for him to see anything in front of him again.

Before leaving, he turned his head rigorously and looked in the direction of Ji Xiaoou, and the muscles on his face moved. Because his arms were cuffed, the price of this action was the unbearable pain in his entire back as if he had been slashed. But he still desperately turned his head. What others saw was a hideous expression under the mess of dirty blood, but what Ji Xiaoou saw was an unspeakable admonition from the heart, as well as unspeakable apologies and comforts.

Later, a policewoman helped Ji Xiaoou untie her hands and feet, helped her up, and put on long pants and a coat. After a brief examination, which proved that there were no serious external injuries on her body, she was taken into a police car.

Ji Xiaoou sat in the middle of the back seat, his head hanging deeply, his eyes only staring at the two dark red fresh bruises on his wrists. Two policewomen in navy blue uniforms held her one on the left and one on the right. In addition to the driver, there was also a male policeman sitting in the passenger seat, and no one spoke to her, and they did not talk to each other. In the suffocating silence of this narrow space, her memory replayed to her exactly what Fang had just said and his expression, sentence by sentence, bit by bit, with unmistakable accuracy.

She closed her eyes, there were no tears in her eyes, only a fire in her heart that made her mouth dry.

Ji Xiaoou was taken into a windowless room. It was very small, less than eight square meters, and a fluorescent lamp overhead was reflected by the four white walls, and the excess light reflected everyone's face in the room was white.

She sat in a chair, an old wooden chair with a backrest, set against the two lightweight black leather-backed chairs opposite the long table, which made one passive and disadvantaged when she sat down.

Ji Xiaoou pressed his hand under his thigh, in order to control his hands from trembling involuntarily. The bound arm had not yet fully recovered its blood, and it was sore, like an ant crawling over, but the recovery of consciousness had gradually begun from the fingertips. She could feel the up-facing part of the chair feel rough to the touch, covered in scratches. It was the hands of those who were embarrassed and restless, hands that could do anything, dirty nails scratching at the chair, accompanied by lies and quibbles spitting out of their mouths. She didn't know how many thefts, murders, robberies, rapes, and drug traffickers had been seated in the chair under her, or if she would have any more scratches on it.

Two people pushed the door in, the young man in a police uniform, with a pretended mature seriousness on his baby face; The older one was dressed in civilian clothes, black and thin, and his appearance was extremely ordinary, but he had a pair of eyes that seemed to see everything.

"My surname is Zhao, Zhao Tinghui."

This is how the interrogation began, starting with the self-introduction of Zhao Tinghui, a criminal policeman of the "12.29" task force, and his tone was gentle to Ji Xiaoou's surprise. She raised her head and didn't see any superfluous expression on Zhao Tinghui's face, but she saw undisguised pity in the eyes of the young policeman.

When following the police out of the beauty shop, Ji Xiaoou saw his image in front of the big mirror at the door: long hair was scattered, half of his face was pale, half of his face was puffy, and his lips were bloodless, like he had applied that kind of pale lipstick, even if he was so embarrassed, but the soft nature of a young woman could not be concealed. She wasn't sure if the policeman had been to the scene or seen her jade body in an embarrassed manner, but his eyes quickly awakened her gender consciousness and made her understand why Rigor deliberately arranged a scene that looked like *. He knows men too well, and that kind of scene will quickly stimulate the adrenaline rush of men, squeezing out a man's sympathy to the maximum, so that his judgment of the truth will be tilted in her favor. Anyone who sees this ragged girl will probably feel pity for her, and will be willing to believe her innocence, rather than embarrass her.

Knowing this, she immediately adjusted her emotions and positioning, and spoke softly: "Officer Zhao." ”

"Did you know Rigor before?"

"Acquaintance."

"How did you meet?"

"I met in a hotel, and he chased me for a while, but I didn't agree."

"And then?"

Ji Xiaoou's mind was racing, and he recalled the process of dating Yan Yan, confirming that he and he had never been in and out of public as lovers, so he replied: "No." We rarely saw each other after that. ”

Hearing this answer, Zhao Tinghui raised his eyelids and glanced at her, and Ji Xiaoou couldn't help but shiver. But he didn't continue to ask, but took out a file folder, opened it, and swept it down from left to right, one by one, and then he closed the file folder, pressed his two forearms on it, and looked directly at Ji Xiaoou, the middle finger and index finger of his right hand flicked gently on the table, starting with a rhythm, and then the rhythm became faster and faster, and the atmosphere in the room gradually changed with the speed of his fingers. The silence was not long, only a few dozen seconds, but the effect he wanted was there, and he wanted her to sit on pins and needles.

Ji Xiaoou really didn't dare to move like a pins and needles, and his nails almost dug deep into the wood. Then she cried unexpectedly. Ji Xiaoou's crying was silent, he sat straight on the chair, looking at the person opposite with big eyes, and there seemed to be two strings of transparent beads with broken threads in his eyes, falling down in strings, falling quickly and quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the desktop in front of him fell into water, like a miniature shower.

The two policemen, old and young, looked at each other, and were at a loss for a while by her unique crying method. The young policeman took out a crumpled pack of napkins from his pocket, with the logo of a certain restaurant on them, and hesitantly handed it over: "You...... Wipe your tears! ”

When her crying finally came to an end and calmed down a little, Zhao Tinghui adjusted his posture and changed the subject: "When did you see the suspect strictly?" How did he get into your room? ”

Ji Xiaoou lowered her head and wiped her tears, in fact, she was thinking about whether anyone would see his first whereabouts before he came back for the second time. Instinctively, she thought that Rigor would never mention the previous day and night, so she decided to take a risk: "I don't know. I was sleeping, and when I opened my eyes, he was standing in front of my bed. ”

"What's next?"

"I'm going to shout, and he's slapping me and tying me up until you guys come." Ji Xiaoou carefully chose the words and tried his best to be simple. The less you say, the fewer loopholes, and the more room for manoeuvre later on. She couldn't let her rigorous hard work come to naught.

"So, he ...... Did he ......" Zhao Tinghui looked at her, then looked at the young policeman next to him, hesitated for a moment before continuing to ask, "Did he sexually assault you?" ”

Ji Xiaoou hurriedly shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no!" ”

"Are you sure?"

"Confirmed. Not really. ”

"And what is his purpose in looking for you?"

This time, Ji Xiaoou replied without hesitation: "He took some money." After a pause, she added, "It's the flow of my store today." ”

"Did a call come to your landline a few hours ago?"

Ji Xiaoou hesitated. As a police officer, Xu Zhiqun reported to the fugitives on the eve of their arrest, which should be a serious violation of discipline. Once the truth is revealed, maybe his career and future will be over, biting her lip, she replied: "Yes." ”

"Who called? What to say? ”

"I don't know who it is. I answered, no one spoke, I thought it was a harassing call, and hung up. ”

Zhao Tinghui raised his eyes again and looked at her carefully for a while, his eyes narrowing involuntarily. Then he stood up and said to the young policeman, "Get someone to come and make up for her." ”

Leaving the interrogation room, Zhao Tinghui and the two stood outside the interrogation room, observing the fugitives in the interrogation room through the one-way perspective glass. Rigor sat in the special wooden circle chair, lying on the small table in front of him, his head and face buried deep in the crook of his arm, he didn't move for a long time, as if he was asleep, and his tall figure lined the chair narrow and cramped. The wound on his head had been treated simply and was covered with white gauze. In the face of the white and bright fluorescent lights, you can also see large patches of dried blood on the black down jacket.

Zhao Tinghui looked at it for a while, then turned around and asked the young policeman: "He said everything?" ”

"That's it. How he escaped, what he did after he came out, why he went to find the girl, he told it all. He said that he escaped in order to find the real culprit, and planned to turn himself in after finding it, but he pounced on the air and found no one, and when he wanted to run, he found that we had already deployed on land, water and air, so he had to turn back. ”

"Why did he go to the girl?"

"He said he knew that the girl had a habit of leaving the business money in the store overnight, and he was short of money."

"Lack of money?" Zhao Tinghui snorted, "The experience of counter-interrogation is not bad. People like them have fake passports around them, and they want to run early. He did not leave Beijing, and there must be something else hidden in it. ”

"But what he said, as well as what the girl said, plus the situation at the scene, are basically correct, and I didn't find too many loopholes. What about you? Especially what the girl said, do you believe it? ”

"I don't believe a word."

"Then why did you let her go?"

"What about the evidence? Do you have proof that she lied? ”

"Why don't you scare her? If you are scared, you may be scared out of the truth. ”

Zhao Tinghui smiled: "Don't worry. Skynet is magnificent and leaky, and the truth will come to light in due course. By the way, did you find the source of that phone call? ”

"Not yet. The caller must have used the number change software, and the number shown in the call log was an empty number. ”

"Hurry up and check."

"Yes." The young policeman agreed, and looked at Yan Yan again: "Then what should he do?" ”

"Send them back to the office first. However, he must be given a change of detention center. ”

"Why?"

"Why don't you use your brain?" Zhao Tinghui walked out with his hands behind his back, and replied impatiently, "It turns out that the detention center, from the director to the relevant police officers, because he has been pushed to the end, he wants to go back, do you think he can still have a life?" ”
