19 upheaval

After Bi Guofeng left the Quansheng Gymnasium, his mood was difficult to calm down for a long time. Zhang Xian may have played an important role in this case, or he may be the murderer, but all his own control has been broken up until now. On the phone just now, Chang Zhi told him that the test report of Zhang Xian's vomit had come out, and it did not contain the ingredients of the "green plum wine" in Zhou Xi's house, only a large amount of beer and liquor. In other words, on the evening of December 18, Zhang Xian was very likely to really drink a lot of wine with his friend Liu Hewen.

Because, if Zhang Xian didn't meet Liu Hewen, but went directly to 1302, then Zhang Xian's stomach must also have the kind of green plum wine that Zhou Xi drank. However, if Zhang Xian deliberately didn't drink the wine that Zhou Xi prepared for him, then what? Assuming that these were tricks set up by Zhang Xian to get rid of his crimes, then why didn't he just sneak away after killing Zhou Xi, but instead stayed at the scene and disguised himself as the first discoverer of the corpse? The surveillance footage of Golden View Garden had been destroyed, and if he had chosen to escape, there would have been no one to ...... Wrong! If it was Zhang Xian himself who was the one who broke the surveillance, wouldn't he be able to control his own whereabouts?

What made Zhang Xian feel that it was better to stay at the scene as the first discoverer of the body than to flee the scene and stay out of the situation? Bi Guofeng's head ached for a while, and he felt that he couldn't think about it anymore.

He cleared his throat and spat out the car window, then took out the pack of Lianhe cigarettes that Hao Liye gave him in the storage compartment, and smoked it. It has been half a month since Zhou Xi was killed to this day. But Bi Guofeng found that he didn't even touch the threshold of this case now. If Zhang Xian is not the murderer of Zhou Xi, then who will be the real murderer? Countless boundless speculations rushed to Bi Guofeng, and he subconsciously remembered that He Gui, who is still in the detention center, is the "Ma Dao" in that mouth, fabricated out of thin air, or is there really someone else? Under a large number of chaotic thoughts, it was difficult for him to clarify his mind, Bi Guofeng felt that the more he thought about it, the more chaotic it became, and the more complicated he became, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

Before he knew it, Bi Guofeng's Santana had come to the vicinity of the Lianhe Bridge. There weren't many people skating on the Lianhe River tonight, but there were quite a few people around the bridge. Bi Guofeng looked through the car window from a distance and saw the fire from a pile of cigarettes. Bi Guofeng had seen this group of homeless people when he went to Zhang Xian's house a few days ago, but he had no way to confirm whether it was the same group of people.

When Bi Guofeng's car drove over the bridge, he deliberately slowed down. In the end, he pretended that the tires were slipping, slammed the steering wheel, and stopped on the side of the road. A handful of people on the side of the bridge saw this scene and whispered for a while, then one of the tall men raised his chin and said, "Go and see." A group of people gathered around with ill intentions.

"What's wrong, big brother? The car broke down, do you want to help? The tall man bent down and said to Bi Guofeng.

Bi Guofeng didn't answer, just closed the car door and looked at him. After the tall man asked, he stopped moving, turned around and lit a cigarette, and then went around to the back of the car. At this time, a yellow-haired man suddenly walked around the door of the cab, and asked while pulling the doorknob: "Big brother came down to see the car!" Your car broke down, aren't you in a hurry? ”

Bi Guofeng turned his head and glared at the man, still silent.

When the yellow-haired man saw Bi Guofeng glaring at him, he suddenly became angry, and he kicked on the tire and scolded, "What do you see? Do you have a kind of practice? ”

Bi Guofeng felt that the roots of his teeth were itching, thinking that his toothache was about to attack again, but after waiting patiently for a while, his mouth stopped again. His eyes wandered over the face of the little man outside the car, and his mind rehearsed what it would look like to hit him with his right fist in the jawbone, then pull his thumb over his hand, roll his arm to his back, and then fall to the ground with a heavy blow. Bi Guofeng secretly pondered in his heart: These annoying guys may have really beaten Zhang Xian.

Bi Guofeng didn't want to see the situation continue to escalate, so he honked the siren and started the car again, and the people around the car were shocked when they saw this scene, and then quickly got out of the way. A few thugs sitting on the hood of the engine ran down from it almost with a roll on the ground. Bi Guofeng smiled coldly, and then stepped on the accelerator and left.

On the way back to the Criminal Police Brigade, Chang Zhi called Bi Guofeng and told Bi Guofeng that He Gui said that he wanted to see him no matter what. Bi Guofeng was a little surprised when he heard the news. He just thought of He Gui, and he was about to see him in a blink of an eye, and it was too much of a coincidence.

In Bi Guofeng's eyes, He Gui once had countless reasons to exonerate himself, but at the time that was most beneficial to him, he chose to say a bunch of crazy things in front of him. Now I propose to meet myself, and I don't know what new story I have to make up. Thinking of this, Bi Guofeng couldn't help but get irritable, if the psychiatric experts could come faster, he wouldn't have to waste so much time on this person. For any case, the longer it drags on, the lower the chance of detection. Bi Guofeng has been carried away by Zhou Xi's case, and he can't tell whether this He Gui is deliberately delaying time like Zhang Xian, or setting a new trap for the police.

At the same time, He Gui, who was being held in the detention center, was sweating profusely and sat on a chair with a sallow face. He may never have expected more trust from others than he does now. The day and night of being locked up in the detention center made it rare for He Gui to calm down and think carefully about his situation.

He fantasized that his mother would drag her sick body and come to Changlu City to see him, but in a blink of an eye, he timidly put away this thought. He Gui said silently in his heart: Don't come, don't come, I can't let you see me like this, absolutely not.

He Gui inserted his fingers into his hair and scratched it vigorously, remembering his mother's loving face over and over again in his mind. His eyes moved back and forth between the bars of the cage, the confined space forcing him to breathe. What should I do now?

Just when He Gui felt that he was deeply in a helpless panic, a guard walked into the detention center, unlocked the door, and whispered, "You have someone to see." ”

"Yes...... Who is it? He Gui stood up, his mind was in a mess, was the prayer in his heart heard by God? His mother...... No, it can't be her, and it can't be her!

He Gui was handcuffed by the guards and followed into a small room. This room was smaller than the previous interrogation room, except that the seats had changed from hard to soft.

It didn't take long for the door to open and a middle-aged balding man with thick glasses walked in. He Gui had seen a lot of bald people before, but most of them were either old or short and fat. It's the first time I've seen a tall and thin bald man like this. He wondered: he didn't know this person, why did he see him?

While He Gui carefully looked at the visitor, the visitor was also looking at He Gui. Half a minute later, the person who came put the briefcase in his hand on the table, and then introduced himself: "My name is Lin Cheng, Lin of the woods, honest Cheng." I think the police should have read to you your rights, you can hire a lawyer yourself, and if you don't have enough money to support it, then the police will assign one for you. And I am the lawyer who has been entrusted to defend you in the future. ”

When He Gui was arrested, the police naturally read his rights to him. But at that time, He Gui was so frightened by Liu Ruhong's death that the three souls and seven spirits flew away, where did he hear these words in his ears. Therefore, when Lin Cheng and He Gui met, his first reaction was: This is a new trap set by the police, and the bald man in front of him was pretended by the police to make his confession!

Lin Cheng saw that He Gui didn't speak, and he couldn't guess what he was thinking, so he continued: "Let's talk about your case now." ”

"The case...... What case? He Guise shrank, his eyes didn't dare to look directly at Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng looked at He Gui strangely: "Of course it's your case of killing Liu Ruhong." ”

"I didn't kill her, I didn't!" He Gui suddenly jumped up.

"Okay, okay, you calm down first, you first tell me what happened from beginning to end, okay?" Lin Cheng pressed down with both hands in the air, trying to calm He Gui down. What he was most tired of was that in front of each client, they chattered to himself about how innocent they were and how they were wronged. Doing so doesn't help at all except to extend your own working hours. And as soon as He Gui opened his mouth, it was this nonsense, which made Lin Cheng shake his head secretly: It seems that he is busy again today.

"Who are you? Why should I trust you? He Gui stared at Lin Cheng suspiciously, Lin Cheng's bare head and thin and straight figure made He Gui feel very uncomfortable.

Lin Cheng pulled over the chair and sat opposite He Gui: "I have already said, I am your entrusted lawyer, and I will be in charge of the litigation of this case." I think we should ...... now."

"Heh......" He Gui interrupted Lin Cheng with a piercing dry laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Lin Cheng learned in advance that the police had arranged a psychological evaluation for He Gui, so he was somewhat mentally prepared for his strange behavior. However, looking at the nervous thin man in front of him smiling at himself inexplicably, Lin Cheng's heart was still a little creepy.

"You're lying, you're not a lawyer at all, you're a policeman, the police sent you!" He Gui slapped the table vigorously and stared at Lin Cheng aggressively, obviously full of vigilance against him.

Lin Cheng was a little dazed after listening to He Gui's words, he couldn't be sure whether the man in front of him was a normal person or if he was just a madman. Lin Cheng wanted to leave this room a little, but his professionalism forced his body to hold on, forcing him to continue according to the procedure. Lin Cheng told himself that even if the suspect was really a madman, he still had the right to get his help.

"I am indeed a lawyer, and the police should have read to you about your civil rights when they arrested you. You can choose a lawyer of your choice, and if you don't have financial support, the police will assign one for you free of charge. I am the lawyer who has been entrusted with your case. Lin Cheng once again emphasized his identity, then looked for it from his briefcase for a while, took out his lawyer's card and handed it to He Gui.

He Gui took Lin Cheng's lawyer's card and looked at it carefully, at this time he had slowly relaxed, but his eyes were still flickering. He Gui opened his mouth, and there seemed to be endless doubts in his heart, but he refused to talk to Lin Cheng in front of him.

Lin Cheng also noticed that He Gui was letting down the guard in his heart, so he struck while the iron was hot and said: "Now your situation is not optimistic, let me help you, the only person you can trust is me." ”

Hearing Lin Cheng say this, He Gui remembered to re-examine his current situation. It is true that he is now like a survivor who has fallen into the river, but everything he can hold on to is gone. And Lin Cheng is like a life-saving straw that suddenly appeared. He's here to save his life!

Since Liu Ruhong's death, the grievances, fears, and anger that she has endured for such a long time have all surged into He Gui's heart, vying to pour it out. As soon as He Gui grabbed Lin Cheng's hand, tears welled up: "Lawyer Lin, you help me, you help me!" I don't believe anyone anymore, I just believe in you. ”

Lin Cheng was disturbed by He Gui's uncertain emotions, and he suddenly held his hand, and his heart was also suddenly shocked, but he still stubbornly said: "I'm here to help you, you can tell me the story of the case from beginning to end now, okay, don't miss any details." ”

He Gui snorted and tears for a long time, and it took a long time to restrain his rushing emotions. Then he nodded heavily, and began to recount the events of that night. Lin Cheng turned on his voice recorder and notebook, and took notes while listening to it, occasionally interrupting He Gui to ask a few words. As time passed, Lin Cheng slowly frowned. He found that the man in front of him was really a big idiot.

After He Gui completely recounted the circumstances of the case, Lin Cheng analyzed: "If nothing else, the police should have found the 300,000 cash you said from Jin Rumeng's room 403 by now." In the future, in court, the police will use this money as a starting point to prosecute you. ”

"Yes...... But that's not true, the 300,000 yuan is like a rainbow entrusted to me for safekeeping. He Gui suddenly found that although the bald lawyer in front of him was a few years younger than him, he revealed a calm and sophisticated that did not match his age, and he couldn't help but deepen his trust in him a little.

"Regardless of whether the 300,000 yuan was entrusted to you by Liu Ruhong for safekeeping, you must understand that things are not under your control now. All you have to do now is, keep your mouth shut. In the future, when facing the police, I will try my best to let me say that I will not be able to catch unfavorable evidence by the police. As for the person you just mentioned, 'Ma Dao', you must not mention it in front of the police again in the future. ”

But why is that? Obviously, that 'Ma Dao' is the real murderer, how can I ......"

"Don't worry." Lin Cheng interrupted He Gui's words, "I know from what you just said that Liu Ruhong committed suicide that night, right?" ”

"Right...... That's right. But it's the director......"

"You listen to me when I'm done." Lin Cheng interjected, "Since Liu Ruhong committed suicide by jumping off the building, how can you say that there is a murderer in this case?" It's a complete suicide case. ”

"Self-...... Suicide cases. He Gui swallowed hard.

Lin Cheng shook his head and secretly cursed the stupid man in his heart, and then said: "The more you tell the police that the murderer is a person named 'Ma Dao', but the police can't find that person, or if they find it, they don't have enough evidence to convict that person." Then the more the police will feel that you are the real murderer of Liu Ruhong, and everything you say and do now is a lie made up to escape the punishment of the law. ”

He Gui was taken aback, and he suddenly realized what stupid things he had said in front of the police before. He lowered his head and stared at his handcuffs for a long time without speaking, and his heart was already full of regret. As Lin Cheng said, Liu Ruhong killed himself, although the culprit was "Ma Dao", but what he said and did from beginning to end, except for the two of them, no one can prove it. How can I tell the police that the person who killed Liu Ruhong was "Ma Dao"?

Lin Cheng on the side saw that He Gui had understood his words, and continued: "What do you want to say to me about Zhou Xi and Sun Qili?" ”

"I know Zhou Xi, but I don't know Sun Qili, what's the matter? Do you think I killed these two people? He Gui secretly felt that he had been drawn into the whirlpool of a huge case, and now all the unfavorable evidence pointed to him.

Lin Cheng pondered for a moment before saying, "Before December 23rd, did you already arrive in Changlu City?" ”

"Nope." He Gui's answer was brief.

"Is there anyone to prove it?"

"Maybe the surveillance near where I live may capture me, and then the cashier at the convenience store downstairs and the vegetable market can also prove it." He Gui thought for a while and added, "And Zhou Xi, I contacted her before the 23rd......"

"You wait a while, you said that you contacted Zhou Xi before the 23rd?" Lin Cheng asked.

"It's been contacted, what's wrong?"

"In other words, you still have a record of contacting Zhou Xi in your mobile phone, right?"

"Keep it is to keep it, but Zhou Xi should use another mobile phone, after all, the things I said to her were private after all." He Gui secretly admired Lin Cheng at this time for being so keen to discover so many details that he hadn't noticed, and couldn't help but be glad that he was a bald man. If it weren't for his superior thinking and good use of his brain, then his hair wouldn't have fallen out.

Lin Cheng asked He Gui again: "When you contacted Zhou Xi, did you have any disputes?" ”

"No, we didn't actually say a few words."

"So, did you agree to meet?"

"That's not it, she just said that she wanted to introduce me to the 'horse guide' to me, and I brought Ruhong to Changlu because of this. But when I met the director, he was cold to me, as if no one had introduced us. ”

Lin Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "When did you meet that director?" ”

"It was the night of the 23rd, probably ...... It's probably about 7 p.m. He Gui raised his head and thought hard and said.

Lin Cheng nodded: "In other words, you only met after Zhou Xi was killed." ”

"Yes."

"Then why did you meet you again at the Golden Dream Hotel?"

"This ......," He Gui was speechless for a while, "I don't know about this." ”

Lin Cheng asked: "Could it be that he has already investigated you and Liu Ruhong in advance?" He is deliberately trying to destroy you and Liu Ruhong? ”

Hearing this, He Gui's mind suddenly exploded. He recalled what Ma Datou said to him in the hotel, and thought about it carefully, wasn't it exactly as Lin Cheng said, it had been planned in advance!

Just when He Gui hadn't figured out his clue, Lin Cheng said again: "Do you think that Zhou Xi's death at this juncture is very suspicious?" ”

A thunderbolt fell into He Gui's heart, and he trembled and asked, "You mean Zhou Xi is the director......

Lin Cheng nodded: "It seems that your case is much more complicated than I imagined." ”

He Gui snorted, feeling that he was hit in the chest by a sledgehammer. He never expected that he felt that his case had a turn for the better just now, and in the blink of an eye, two other cases were involved. Now I am like a fish on a board, a lamb that has been slaughtered, and I don't even have half a room to struggle.

He Guigan glared at Lin Cheng, and his originally haggard face looked terrified. He said tremblingly: "Lawyer Lin, you must help me, I am really desperate now." ”

Lin Cheng waved his hand, his expression was a little grim: "Judging from the evidence obtained by the police at this stage, it is actually not enough to support that you are the murderer of Liu Ruhong, and the other two cases have little to do with you." As long as you do what I say, I can still be sure to help you get away with it. In the future, in front of the police, no matter whether "Ma Dao" is indeed a person or not, you can no longer mention him. Because the existence of this "Ma Dao" can neither exonerate you nor convict you, but will also bring you unnecessary suspicion. ”

He Gui nodded in agreement, but he couldn't help but burn a wave of anger in his chest. When this director harmed them to such a situation, he could only swallow his anger. But this anger lasted only a moment, and then it was completely settled. He can't even protect himself now, let alone the "horse guide" who doesn't know where people are.

Lin Cheng looked at He Gui, who was silent, and knew that he must have cursed the "horse guide" in his heart at this time, so he explained: "The most important thing now is to exonerate you, and other things, you still don't think about it for the time being, do you understand?" ”

He Gui listened to Lin Cheng's words and did not answer, how could Lin Cheng understand his mood at this moment. A day ago, he thought he was on the threshold of success. thought that "Ma Dao" was the leader who took him and Liu Ruhong on the Avenue of Stars. But in a blink of an eye, Li Ruhong died, and he was imprisoned with him. Who would know this feeling of falling from heaven to hell? The most infuriating thing is that the initiator of this huge trap is still at large. I'm suffering on that person's behalf!

He Gui has been trying to make others believe in himself all his life. Let her mother believe that she can find a way to cure her illness after all, let Manager Wang believe that her performance will rise above the horizontal line, and let Liu Ruhong believe that she will take her to become popular. But the thirst for trust was far less intense than it is today. This is not just because Lin Cheng is now in control of his life and death, but he feels from the bottom of his heart that Liu Ruhong's death is not worth it. If you want to say that the most unbearable thing in the rest of his life, then one of them is Liu Ruhong's death. He was ashamed of her, and it was because he looked away that he made a big mistake. And the other thing is that the director is still alive in this world. He Gui longs for him to die, from the bottom of his heart.

After continuing to negotiate with He Gui for half an hour, Lin Cheng finally grasped the core part of the case. Although He Gui's encounter was a huge tragedy, it could not arouse Lin Cheng's pity. He even felt that a large part of the responsibility for Liu Ruhong's death came from He Gui.

On the evening of January 2, when the lawyer left the detention cell, he said to He Gui: "Mr. He, the police have arranged a psychiatric evaluation for you, no matter what the result is, you must insist on not mentioning 'Ma Dao' in the subsequent questioning, understand?" ”

Lin Cheng's words are an insurance supplement to He Gui's mental state of distrust. When he saw He Gui sincerely agree, Lin Cheng breathed a sigh of relief in his chest. But he didn't know that what he said was the intention of the speaker and the listener.

While listening to these words, Bi Guofeng's phantom suddenly appeared in front of He Gui's eyes, and he found that he was biting Bi Guofeng's throat, and blood gushed into his mouth, making him truly crazy. It turned out that the man who kept saying that he believed him during his interrogation was lying to him.

Psychiatric evaluation? He Gui found this word so harsh, he told the truth, but he was treated as a madman. It's like someone wondering if he's a real man and forcing him to take off his pants to prove it. But when he did take off his pants, everyone said that his man's symbol was a prosthesis.

"If you don't believe me, I don't care anymore." He Gui muttered to himself quietly, "The first thing I did after I went out was to destroy that man." Wherever he hides to the ends of the earth, I will find him. At this time, He Gui had already unconsciously bred a terrible idea in his mind.

Thirty minutes later, He Gui proposed to Chang Zhi that he wanted to see Bi Guofeng. Chang Zhi first said to him: "I have already told you just now, our team leader is not here. He'll be back in a while, and you'll tell me the same if you have anything. But He Gui disagreed, and he was clamoring to see Bi Guofeng. Chang Zhi had no choice but to call Bi Guofeng to urge him.

Originally, Chang Zhi thought that he was expensive because he met a lawyer, and after receiving some enlightenment, he had a tendency to admit guilt. But the truth was not what he imagined, He Gui unexpectedly did not ask for a lawyer to accompany him to meet Bi Guofeng. Chang Zhi thought to himself: After dragging on for so long, this case is really going in more and more strange directions.

Not long after, they didn't expect Bi Guofeng to come back, but a man came who wanted to visit He Gui. The person who came was a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a round belly and horizontal flesh hanging from his face. Suits and leather shoes are expensive custom models, which look very good on his fat figure. His expression has always been full of friendliness since he came in, and he is quite cultivated in his gestures.

Chang Zhi shook hands with the well-dressed fat man, and mentioned that He Gui was on bail pending trial, and if he wanted to visit, the time would only be 15 minutes. The visitor smiled and nodded yes, and wrote his name and identification number on the visitor form. Chang Zhi stretched out his head to take a look, and only saw three words: Wang Jikang.

Chang Zhi asked casually, "Mr. Wang, what is your relationship with the suspect?" ”

"Hmm......" Wang Jikang smiled, "Is this out of work needs or personal interest?" ”

"Does it make a difference?"

"Yes, of course." Wang Jikang suddenly became serious, "If it is out of the needs of work, then we, as citizens, naturally have to cooperate." ”

Chang Zhi crossed his hands on his chest, stared at Wang Jikang and said, "In other words, if my question is from a person, you don't need to answer it, right?" ”

Wang Jikangpi grinned without smiling: "No, how can there be such a thing, whether it is public or private, I am willing to cooperate, you see you smoke a cigarette first?" Saying that, Wang Jikang took out a pack of Lianhe cigarettes from his bag, took out one and stuffed it into Chang Zhi's hand.

In a few words, Chang Zhi had already seen that Wang Jikang was a person who was good at flattery. He pressed Wang Jikang's hand, and then raised his chin: "There is monitoring here, you should forget it." ”

Wang Jikang skimmed the ceiling, and suddenly realized, and easily put the cigarette on his ear. Then he whispered: "I am He Gui's top boss, he has this kind of thing, and the company sent me to see him." ”

Chang Zhi nodded and said, "Take your belongings and store them, and then go through the security check later, and I will take you to meet people." ”

"Okay officer, right...... I have a question I want to ask, I don't know ......" Wang Jikang looked at Chang Zhi with a smile, his eyes shining with a strange light.

"Hurry up and ask."

"Oh, yes. I heard that the Lianhe fish in Changlu City is famous for its deliciousness, I don't know if you know the police officer, which stores are more authentic? ”

Chang Zhi was a little surprised by this problem, and the price of Lianhe fish has been rising in recent years, breaking records repeatedly. Lianhe fish itself is not only a food, but also a luxury. Even the locals of Changlu City, few can afford to eat. Wang Jikang, an outsider, actually asked where to eat Lianhe fish as soon as he came, which can be said to be very wealthy.

Wang Jikang saw that Chang Zhi was stunned and didn't speak, and suddenly knew that he had asked the wrong person, so he laughed twice to hide his embarrassment: "I didn't ask." Then, as Chang Zhi said, I went to store my things and went through the security check.

After passing many checkpoints, Wang Jikang finally saw He Gui in the visitation room. And at this time, he had unconsciously changed into another face. He sat in front of He Gui and wrinkled his fat nose: "It's really yours, He Gui." ”

"Wang ...... Manager Wang! After such a long time, a person familiar to him finally appeared in front of him. He Gui felt that his tears had almost squeezed around his eye sockets, and they were about to fall. He's here to help me, right? Have I flattered him well on a daily basis? Are there any short gifts for the holidays? He Gui's brain seemed to be out of touch, and it became one by one.

"Hmph, look at your current virtue, you can really do it." Wang Jikang took out a handkerchief from his pocket and covered his mouth and nose.

He Gui helped his glasses, and his head lowered unconsciously. He has always been afraid of Wang Jikang, and on weekdays, he never dared to look at Wang Jikang's eyes, and he became even more timid when he committed such a big thing at this time. He Gui couldn't help but think of the words Xu Shang said when he came in to find him and Liu Ruhong, and secretly wondered in his heart: If he chose to listen to his arrangement at that time and let Xu Shang go in and be responsible for Ruhong, would things not have turned out to be what they are now?

"Hey, hey, what are you thinking?" Wang Jikang slapped the table dissatisfied, and pulled He Gui, who was thinking wildly, back to reality, "When I talk to you, you dare to be absent-minded, don't you know what your current situation is?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." He Gui hurriedly agreed, and the whole person suddenly became nervous.

Wang Jikang snorted coldly and continued: "Do you know which person you offended this time? ”

"Huh?"

"Tsk, every time I see you look stupid, I get annoyed." Wang Jikang stood up from his chair and shouted, "You are in big trouble this time, you have offended Director Ma!" Do you understand? ”

"Yes, of course I do!" He Gui didn't know where he got the courage, stood up and roared back, "It was that bastard who killed Ruhong, I will never forget it in my life!" ”

The guard outside the door heard the noise coming from the visitation room and pushed the door in. Seeing the red-faced two people looking at each other nervously, he knocked on the wall and reminded: "Don't make small moves, settle down." ”

Wang Jikang hurriedly smiled: "Yes, yes, I'm sorry, I didn't control my temper." ”

The guard glanced at He Gui uneasily: "Sit back in your seat, do you hear?" ”

He Gui glanced at the guard, like a deflated ball, and sat down softly in his chair. The guard outside the door looked at the time and said, "You still have ten minutes, hurry up, today's visit time is almost over." With a thud, the door to the visitation room was closed again.

Wang Jikang in the room looked at He Gui and sat back in his place. After a few minutes, he pouted his fat lips and said, "What do you think about the way you look now?" Can someone be brought down by a small agent of yours? It's a dream. I don't need to talk more about the truth of the grasshopper shaking the tree, right? ”

He Gui glanced at Wang Jikang, his eyes were lowered, and his heart was full of desire to rush up and strangle him. But his hands were handcuffed to his chair, and he couldn't take a single step out of this square inch. He Gui sat dejectedly, and Liu Ruhong's figure was once again reflected in his heart. What happened before she died is still vivid in my mind. How can he not hate that man?

Wang Jikang was silent on the side, he had almost seen through what He Gui was thinking about now, so he set aside a lot of time for He Gui to think about it himself. The reason why He Gui is still unwilling to bow his head now is completely because of his shame for Liu Ruhong. As long as there is enough push behind his back, he can cross this threshold.

The time of the visit passed minute by minute, and the scales in He Gui's mind kept sliding back and forth, but he could never find that balance point. The terms life, wealth, fame and fortune kept flashing in his mind. But at the same time, the heart-warming laughter that Liu Ruhong made before her death is still ringing in her ears. He Gui suddenly regretted that he didn't listen to his mother's words and went back to accompany her. If I had given up the idea of chasing fame and fortune earlier, then none of this would have happened.

Finally, as if freed from a great struggle, He Gui spoke with a painful expression: "Manager Wang, you said that I can still return to the entertainment industry if I let go of all this now?" ”

"This ......" Wang Jikang was a little undecided, since He Gui took the initiative to ask about this matter, it meant that his heart had been shaken. So he reassured: "Now that the file of your personnel department is still detained with me, I will not kick you out for the time being." As long as you promise me that you won't trouble the horse guide after you come out, it is not impossible to start from scratch. ”

"That's ......" He Gui pondered for a moment and asked cautiously, "Can I ask, you...... How much did you charge that director? ”

"What?" Wang Jikang snorted and laughed, "I said you, after so many years in the circle, don't you know how to weigh the pros and cons?" How could I be bribed by a horse guide? ”

He Gui didn't understand this, and he asked, "Then why do you want to exonerate this bastard!" ”

"Tsk." Wang Jikang once again showed impatience with He Gui's stupid words, and he whispered, "Now that his handle is in our hands, with his power in the entertainment industry, are we afraid that there will be fewer opportunities to 'cooperate' with him in the future?" ”

What a poisonous plan! He Gui secretly said that turning Ruhong's death into a bargaining chip for the company to hack the entertainment industry was the ultimate goal of this group of snobs. He Gui covered his head, feeling the biting coldness of falling into a cold pool. What a good deal this is, not only Ruhong, but even him and the director, all of them are weights on the scales in the eyes of these people. They will leverage and put the most lucrative benefits into their pockets. He Gui felt his naivety for the first time, in this dirty and dark entertainment industry for so many years, he had never seen clearly the truth of the law of the jungle and the supremacy of interests.

Wang Jikang looked at He Gui's painful and tangled appearance, and secretly sneered in his heart. Unless He Gui takes the method of killing him in front of the police, Liu Ruhong's death will not have an impact on Director Ma now. But at that time, He Gui may not be able to get out of the way. If he was smart enough, he should have let go of his stupid thoughts of revenge and put an end to this case sooner.

Maybe Wang Jikang overestimated He Gui, and when the visiting time was about to end, He Gui still did not clearly state his attitude. This made Wang Jikang very angry, and felt that he was wasting time by coming to Changlu City. He tugged at his bow tie and stood up to leave. I hoped that my move would stimulate He Gui to make his decision quickly. Because, both of them knew that as long as he walked out of this room, there would be no possibility of meeting again.

He Gui's sunken eyes revealed infinite exhaustion, and when he heard the sound of Wang Jikang getting up, his heart chuckled. It was as if something had broken slightly, and when he hurried to pick it up again, he couldn't touch it again.

"Manager Wang......"

"How?" Wang Jikang's heart showed a hint of joy, and the hand that stretched out to pull the doorknob stopped in mid-air.

I saw He Gui slowly raise his head, with a resentful look on his face, and he scolded viciously: "Fuck your damn dog bastard, you all go to hell for me!" ”

Seeing this scene, Wang Jikang was not half surprised, as if he had read a script that already knew the ending in advance, he sneered and then leaned into He Gui's ear and said, "I don't know what kind of expression your mother will have when she sees you like this now?" No, that's not right...... I forgot to tell you that your mom passed away in the hospital yesterday. ”

"What?" He Gui's eyes widened, and his blood was swelling, "You're lying to me!" You're lying to me, aren't you! ”

Wang Jikang scratched his chin and added leisurely: "It was a brain shock caused by a stroke, and the time of his death was at noon today, after we told her about you." ”

He Gui's tears burst out of his eyes, and he asked with trembling lips, "How dare you...... How dare you tell her that you are clearly ...... You know she can't...... She couldn't hear that! ”

Wang Jikang covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief in annoyance: "You have always been like this, it's really disgusting." With that, he opened the door and walked out.

He Gui stayed in the visiting room, frantically pulling the handcuffs, the steel embedded in his skin inch by inch, and the blood marks were scraped out in just a few rounds. He wanted to break free from the handcuffs, he wanted to see his mother, and he wanted to fulfill his promise that he had not promised his mother and return to the basket to be with her.

"Let me out! Brute...... Brute! You brutes, vampires, cannibals...... Ah, I'll strangle you, Wang Jikang, you're a pervert, you're a monster......" He Gui shouted frantically, cursing words that even he couldn't understand.

Seeing this, the guard at the door hurriedly rushed into the room and pressed him down on the table: "Shut up, don't make trouble!" Do you hear that? ”

He Gui resisted desperately, but even if he exerted the strength of his whole body, it still had no effect. The guard was like this, pressing He Gui until he had exhausted all his strength, and finally collapsed completely on the table.

He Gui had never felt so powerless as he did now, he had nothing now, and even the last glimmer of desire to survive had disappeared with the news of his mother's death.

The guards escorted the weakened He Gui out of the visitation room and threw him back into his original detention cell. He Gui lowered his head, the saliva at the corner of his mouth slowly flowed to the ground, he touched his crotch in surprise, and found that his lower body was actually firm.

"Come on, it's time......"

"Who?" He Gui turned his head suddenly.

"Come on, it's time......" The same tone, the same tone was repeated again, but He Gui didn't see anyone behind him. He Gui's eyes glared in horror, and he wondered if he was having auditory hallucinations.

"Come on...... Come on......" is like a hypnotic song, haunting He Gui's ears.

He Gui slowly stood up, his eyes half-closed, and he felt like he was back to the scene when he was a child lying on his mother's lap and fell asleep. The whole person suddenly spun around and swayed from side to side.

"Come on...... Come on......"

He Gui smiled and stroked his mother's cheek, and he responded softly: "Mom, I'm here......"

This night was as long as every night in this winter, but for He Gui, it was so short that it ended in just a few moments.

15 minutes after Wang Jikang left the Criminal Police Brigade in Nanshan District, Changlu City, Bi Guofeng finally returned to the bureau. At this time, rain suddenly began to fall in the sky without warning. Bi Guofeng ran into the office building with a tired face, and Chang Zhi walked towards him head-on, and stuffed a pile of materials in his hand into his hand. Bi Guofeng looked at it roughly, and the information in his hand was what he asked Chang Zhi to help check a few days ago, Liu Chang's personal information. He didn't expect that there would be so many printouts.

Bi Guofeng threw the information back on his office desk and asked, "What about that guy?" ”

"He's in prison, and someone just came to see him." Chang Zhi replied.

"Visiting?" Bi Guofeng frowned, thinking: How could it be so coincidental to come to visit at this time.

Chang Zhi added: "Yes, the person who came is called Wang Jikang, and he said that he was He Gui's boss. It's funny to say, that person is obviously the first time to come to Changlu, but as soon as we met, he asked me which store to eat Lianhe fish to. ”

"Oh? I didn't know you had eaten Lianhe fish too. Bi Guofeng said with interest.

"Team leader, just spare me, how can I have eaten, with my salary, I can't lose my life if I eat this thing."

"As I said, my family lived on the edge of the Lianhe River when I was a child, and I would go fishing on the river in winter. The fish tasted ......" Bi Guofeng's mind was flooded with the scene when his mother took her to the Lianhe River to fish wild when he was a child, and his chest suddenly became sore.

Chang Zhi looked at Bi Guofeng when he mentioned the Lianhe fish, his expression changed, so he hurriedly asked: "Is this Lianhe fish really that delicious?" What does it smell like? ”

Bi Guofeng slapped Chang Zhi's head: "Go, go, isn't it the taste of fish?" Hurry up and take me to see He Gui, this point, I'm tired if you're not tired. ”

Chang Zhi snorted, and hurriedly took Bi Guofeng towards He Gui's cell. But when the two came to He Gui's cell, they were dumbfounded by the scene in front of them.

He Gui's belt wrapped around his neck, and the whole person hung under the window on the back wall of the cell. A swollen purple tongue hung diagonally over her lips, and those eyes were staring straight at the ground. The body, which was already dry and thin, hung there like a strip of dehydrated dried meat.

Bi Guofeng stood there stunned, until a huge thunderclap sounded outside the window, which pulled his thoughts back. Chang Zhi looked at the corpse and then at Bi Guofeng: "Team leader, this ......"

Bi Guofeng pointed to He Gui's corpse and said, "You just said, what is the name of the person he saw before?" ”
