The atmosphere became sluggish, I did not speak, he did not speak, he sat silently on the edge of the pool. I suddenly asked, "Can you give me a cigarette?" He was silent for a long time, then lost something, but said, "It's better for girls not to smoke." ”

I tugged at the corners of my lips: "Didn't you smoke before?" How did you suck it? I have the impression that he is a man who is almost stereotyped, and he has never seen him smoke, but in the silence just now he lit a cigarette and smoked it with skill.

After waiting for a while, I saw that he didn't answer me, and he didn't care, but took out one and stuffed a lighter in his cigarette case. I lit it and took a soft breath between my lips, and the smell of the smoke passed through my throat into my nose and slowly exhaled. I didn't choke on cigarettes like on TV, coughed until tears came out, that's too hypocritical, smoking is nothing more than that.

I didn't smoke it again, I just clipped it to my fingertips and watched the spark flicker, and when it was almost at the end of the burn, I said softly, "Tell me everything." He was silent for a moment before speaking, "If you want." ”

Then a low, cold voice flowed under the night sky, and I listened silently from beginning to end, as if listening to someone else's story. It's just that the person in the story is called A, which is the same as the childhood name in the picture in my dream.

When he stopped speaking, I lowered my eyes and asked softly: "So you knew that Xu Jianglun was the son of the leader?" And he is the one behind the islands? ”

He nodded: "Xu Jianglun is very good to start the investigation from the leader, even if the leader covers it tightly, there will always be clues, not to mention that there is a medical technology in this world called DNA testing, just take the hair of the two to match the answer." Those who can balance Xu Jianglun must be someone who is not inferior to him in psychology, academics, and resourcefulness, and Chu Gaocheng is the best choice. But his whereabouts are strange and uncertain, and several of his subordinates have come and gone without a trace, and he has been thrown off after several years of tracking. In the end, he had to wait for the rabbit, brake quietly, and formulate a perfect plan according to his temperament, before finally putting everything on track. ”

I understand what he means by "waiting for the rabbit", no matter how careful Gao Cheng is and how proficient he is in behavioral logic and psychological science, his roots are here. I heard him say earlier: I feel that the only place where I want to leave is safe. Every time I go on an adventure, I think about that Chu City. He used psycho-academic self-analysis to find that the hated place in his childhood impression was his root, and he could not forget it. So, no matter how far he goes, he will come back here, just like this time, he came to find the root of his demons, and he came to find the root for me.

Even though I was covered by two rounds of memories, I felt a sense of belonging to this place.

The matter has been spread out to this point, and finally some things have been laid on the table, and I bite lightly word by word: "So, the death of those people, you knew that the murderer behind it was Xu Jianglun, and then you tolerated the traitor and let your so-called plan run, is that so?" He replied, "If you want it to happen, you have to make a trade-off." ”

"your success!" I couldn't help but scream anymore, "That's a human life, you can obviously stop it, but you reckless your life for your own selfish desires, what's the difference with Xu Jianglun?" Even if you are more despicable than him, he at least dares to bear the charge of revealing it, but you only dare to hide behind your back and plot secretly. ”

The black shadow stood suddenly, with a deep anger and fierce aura, "A, everyone can say this about me, but you can't!" We are one, if we are a circle, you are the center of the circle, and all the brothers revolve around you! What's more, Xu Jianglun's psychological skills are hidden so deeply, every time the case occurs, it is impossible to prevent it. ”

"What about dungeons? They have been your colleague for many years, don't you have a little kindness and let them ......?"

"I can't help myself!" He interrupted me angrily, and an arrow rushed over, and the eyes that looked down in the darkness were full of flames: "How can you stop when you get to that step?" What's more, you are in the middle of it, and you have been in danger several times, and I have no time to stop it when I am around, and it will be too late by the time I arrive. ”

It was the first time I had seen him angry, and then there was a deep sadness hidden in his furious eyes. Suddenly, I felt that my aggressiveness was a bit excessive, and I couldn't help myself summed it up, and I was pushed to run the plan in ignorance, and he was a sober person, witnessing all this happening to the end, and could only watch, not participate.

I immediately threw off all my strength and buried my head, my eyes so dry that they hurt, and a thick sadness spread through my heart. In fact, if he was just that identity, I wouldn't be so excited, but he is...... G born from the same root as me! What does this mean? It means that I also have so many lives on my hands, because I am the bait! And to me here is he, or, they.

His head was gently stroked, and there was a rare gentleness in his usually cold voice: "A, don't be sad. In fact, your mission has been completed a long time ago, and the reason why I didn't let you recover your memory is because I don't want you to know the darkness in it. But you obviously remembered for yourself, and even then, you don't have to carry those many lives on your back, I will bear everything. ”

The nose was sore, the corners of the eyes suddenly trembled, and tears.

Leaned his head on his leg and said extremely uncomfortably: "I don't want to be A, I want to be Xia Zhu." ”

"Okay, you're Xia Zhu." He obeyed me.

"Don't be a g, just a ...... Is Zhang Ji good? ”

He didn't answer.

G, another disciple of the chief, my senior brother, Zhang Ji.

If it weren't for G, there wouldn't be so much darkness, and he's still just the upright captain of the criminal investigation team, and none of this has happened. I looked up, looked at the angular face in my blurred vision, and asked as if pleading, "Okay?" He stood quietly and looked at me for a long time, in a trance, and the tenderness in his eyes flashed, but he said, "Xia Zhu, I can't go back." ”

The blank world, the distorted space, Zhang Ji said: Xia Zhu, I can't go back.

He was right: I! Not us. He is excluding me from this dark circle, and he is going to bear this sin alone, and he is going to give me back the light. I cried loudly, holding his generous palm and couldn't suppress the sorrow in my heart, if the chief is my relative in this world, then Zhang Ji is the only one left. It was sad to know that he had made up his mind to die to put an end to this plan.

In childhood images, he appears very rarely. But I clearly remember the first test match, and when I stood next to him with a shudder, he seemed to have a glance in his eyes.

Why is it so hard? If the ultimate goal is to wipe out this leader-led organization, why not just start here and overthrow it? He pulled me to sit down and said it wasn't as simple as I thought. Although the organization is operated by the leader in secret, it has already grown like a tree that has grown up with various branches, and these branches have developed into small branches, how can the leader alone control the island remotely, how can it cover the sky with one hand?

Just like Yan Jiu, the leader of Heizhugou, the dungeon is Xu Jianglun, and later Huya Mountain is another stronghold he transferred, Zhou Jing and Qiuyue Bai sisters in the canyon. These are all subordinate to the organization, and if the base camp of this island is overturned, it is just a base for those who train ability, but it will not be moved elsewhere. On the contrary, it will only startle the snake, so that the leaders of those strongholds will hide themselves without leaking a drop under the premise of breaking away from the control of the headquarters. At that time, it is not difficult to describe to find them again.

When I first realized that it was him, I couldn't accept this fact at all, and I felt that the world was dark and sad, but when my emotions calmed down, I could hear him explain all this. Shoulder-to-shoulder with him, I asked the biggest question in my mind: "What about you?" ”

"What?" He didn't react for a moment.

"Who do you belong to? Or in other words, which organization do you and the chief belong to? ”

His shoulders paused slightly, and it took several seconds before he said three words lightly: "Special Punishment Group." I turned my head to stare at him, "The criminal detective's punishment?" He nodded. Something fluttered in my heart, "Then you belong to the police?" He shook his head, "This is an organization that is not known to the outside world, it doesn't matter which department it belongs to, even the police can't control it, it exists independently." However, if necessary, the case will be solved for the police, provided that it does not affect the overall situation and does not expose its own goals. ”

He raised his head, and there was a light of hope and nostalgia in his eyes: "I remember that when the chief asked me if I wanted to join, he warned me that once I joined, there was no turning back. You are invisible at all times and in all places, but you must do it for the task of the organization," he paused, and said eight words lightly: "Bow down and die." ”

My heart began to ache and ache, "So, is this what the chief sacrificed for these eight words?" ”

"Xia Zhu, you should have already guessed who the chief is."

I deflected my perspective, my eyes tingled, and I replied stubbornly, "I don't know." He sighed, "Silly girl, you are so smart." "yes, so smart, I'd rather be stupid.

Zhang Ji didn't let me escape, and said softly: "Do you know why the chief is always lenient to you?" He has been in the hinterland for many years and has been keeping a low profile, but for the first time you asked the leader to go to the outlying island to pick you up, and then invited you to teach you a skill, not because you are a girl, but because your temperament is like a person. He pinned almost all the lost emotions on you, and I would like to send my thoughts from afar. It's just that when he stepped up into this path, restraint became instinct. No matter how painful it is, you can't frown with a brow. ”

I lowered my head and asked in a voice that was too soft to ask, "When did he die?" ”

There was a long silence, and when I thought he wouldn't answer, I heard him say, "When your compass of destiny is activated." Shocked, I raised my eyes in disbelief, and when I got an affirmative answer from his eyes, my heart felt as if a hole had been torn open, and I had nowhere to live.

Close your eyes in pain, sir, for the cause you love, you will do everything you have, including...... Family, loved ones, and life. You've really done your best to die! <
