I had known Lao Yan since seven years ago, when I was just a high school student.

In his words, from the first time we met, he saw a strange light in my eyes. And the same look he had only seen in the eyes of the most heinous death row inmates of the past.

Since then, Lao Yan has almost dared to confirm that I am definitely not a simple person.

In the future, he will either become an outstanding people's policeman and dedicate his youth to the country and the people. Either become the most dangerous prisoner and be the culprit. However, judging from the current situation, I am still developing in a good direction for the time being.

Everything in the world, all living beings, everyone is as small as a grain of sand, and most people in this world are ordinary.

This is an ordinary world, and stars and heroes are always only a few.

But even so, every ordinary life contains some different things. There are some people and some things that you are destined to never forget in this life.

I was born in an ordinary family, and my mother opened a grocery store downstairs, selling firewood, rice, oil and salt to support our mother.

I have the impression that my mother doesn't care much about me, and she doesn't care about her son like ordinary mothers, thinking about their future and career.

My mom just prepares three meals a day, and when she reaches a certain age, she sends me to school. It seems that in her opinion, giving birth to me and raising me is just a job, and she only needs to complete the content of the work, and as for the rest, she doesn't care.

When I was nine years old, I got into a fight with a senior student and broke an arm.

When I dragged my severed hand back home, my mother just glanced at me, and then coldly threw me 300 yuan and went into the house.

To this day, I still vividly remember that it was raining sporadically, and I dragged my severed hand, took the cash, and slowly walked to the clinic alone to pick up the severed hand.

During the whole process, I didn't shed a single tear.

To be honest, I haven't seen my dad much since I was born, and my mom almost single-handedly brought me up.

My dad always wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and he looked like a scholar, and he was suave. But he would only go home once every two or three years, and only for four or five days at a time, and then he would leave in a hurry.

So until now, I still haven't figured out what kind of work he's doing.

I just vaguely remember that when my father was at home, he would often stand on the balcony, looking at the sky in a silent daze, and sometimes when he looked at it, tears flowed out unconsciously.

I remember he once said to me, "It would be great if humans could fly freely like birds。。。。。 ”

For as long as I can remember, I know that my family lives in a place similar to the junction of urban and rural areas, there are casinos and KTV halls on the ground floor of the corridor, and there are even more underworld markets in the whole block.

During the day, the streets are deserted, and occasionally you can see a few aunts and uncles selling melons, fruits and vegetables along the street.

But when night falls, the whole neighborhood comes alive, and the police can see people with various tattoos roaming the streets, and when they are lucky, they can also see scantily clad women standing on the edge of the KTV to solicit customers.

I grew up in this environment since I was a child, so when I was five years old, I dared to ask someone to block others at the school gate, and when I was ten years old, I was already familiar with the meaning of various tattoos in the underworld, and my ability to pick the lock was also learned from an uncle on the other side of the corridor at that time.

That uncle's surname is Ji, and he has a very high IQ, but his actions are very low-key.

He was the one who taught me how to see what a person was thinking in their expressions and eyes, and how to use two paper clips to open different locks. After only two years of living, the uncle moved to Hong Kong, and it is said that he committed several big cases and became famous in Hong Kong.

But in the end, he could not escape the fate of being arrested and brought to justice.

If you want to say that Lao Yan and I were able to meet, it was all because of a serial murder case seven years ago.

That case, in the area where I lived in high school, caused an uproar.

Even now, that serial murder case is a boulder that has been weighing on my heart. How many midnights have I been awakened by the nightmare case.

Seven years ago, the body of a woman was found in an alley near my house, the deceased's hands and feet were clearly tied, and her lips and eyelids were sewn together with needles and threads.

The woman died as a result of mechanical asphyxiation. The murderer strangled the poor woman with her panties. The police also found multiple contusions and bruises on her body, and it seems that the woman had been subjected to inhuman torture by the other party before her death.

Although there are often murders in my neighborhood, most of them are caused by gang fighting, and this is the first time such a brutal murder has occurred.

There were many people in the downtown area, and the news soon spread, along with the school where I studied, and there was a lot of uproar. It is said that a psychopathic killer has been mixed into our area, picking on a single woman, and after grabbing it, he first tortures her, then brutally kills her, and then throws her body into the wilderness.

For the sake of the safety of students, the school has cancelled the morning and evening self-study, and hopes that students can go home to school together and pay more attention to safety on the road。。。。。

As soon as the notice came out, it was further confirmed that the rumored murder case was true.

What's worse is that things have reached such a point that many uncles and aunts on the street are speculating that there may be more than one deceased, and the police have nothing to learn about the murderer's situation, otherwise, the impact of the case will not rise to this point.

As a result, rumors about the case spread even more, and various versions were published one after another. For a while, people were panicked, everyone was in danger, and many female classmates even directly asked for leave to study at home, and they couldn't even take care of the upcoming college entrance examination.

The remaining students who remain in school, close to their homes, either go to and from school in groups of three or five, or are picked up by their parents every day.

However, I am the only exception. During that time, my dad happened to finish working outside and came home for a few days, because there was not enough space in the room, so I had to go to the Internet café or KTV for one night every day. However, I have long been accustomed to this kind of thing.

A few days later, it was rumored that the body of another murdered woman had been found, and for a while, the turmoil became even worse. A few kind old teachers advised me to pay attention to my safety and not to wander around outside every day, because murderers like to pick on guys like me.

I didn't pay attention to those kind reminders.

To be honest, I was completely dismissive of this serial murder case at the time.

As soon as the other party picks on women, I, a big man, have no need to worry at all.

Second, every time the other party moves, he must first use a rope to control the victim to prevent him from struggling, according to the previous point that the guy only picked women to attack, which shows that the murderer is not very strong.

With my youth and vigor in high school, and the frequency of group fights once a month, when I met such a guy, I might beat him up and send him to the police station to receive a bounty.

So in the days when everyone was in danger, I still maintained my usual style and went alone.

Every day, I go out alone before dawn and go to the street to do odd jobs. Every day after dark, I had to go to the neighborhood twice to find a few lonely junior students to collect protection money as pocket money.

It went on like this for a whole week, and one evening, when it was my turn to be on duty, when I was cleaning up the classroom and about to close the door and go back, I was suddenly stopped by someone.

The person who stopped me was the school committee member of our class, Liu Dan.

Liu Dan's girl actually looks pretty good, and her development is good, and she is still relatively conspicuous among her peers.

But because he was so focused on studying, he cut his hair short, and he didn't have time to dress up. Otherwise, with her foundation, it is more than enough to compete for the name of the class flower with the few female gangsters in the class who dress up every day.

However, I have the impression that I have never intersected with this kind of person who studies well, so for a while, I couldn't understand what she suddenly called me.

"Hey... Goofy. Liu Dan just stood in front of me, looking timidly, his fair face instantly turned red.

"What's the matter?"

I replied coldly while sorting out my school bag. At the time, it seemed that replying to a girl's question like this seemed particularly handsome.

After about thirty seconds, Liu Dan seemed to regain his courage and slowly spoke: "I heard that your family lives in Ziyun Lane in the east of the city?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?"

"What a coincidence. My family just moved there recently。。。。。 ”

"Oh...

The so-called awkward chat, but that's it。。。。。

I glanced at my watch and found that it was less than ten minutes before the end of school at the city's No. 2 Middle School.

Thinking of this, he unconsciously sped up the speed in his hand, and then put down a sentence: "What, it's not early, you go home early, if there is anything to go to school tomorrow, this area is not safe recently, you should pay more attention to yourself." ”

"Wait!" Seeing that I was about to leave, Liu Dan suddenly became anxious and rushed over directly and grabbed me.

It was summer, and both men were wearing short sleeves. In addition, she moved too fast and rushed quickly, causing my arm to rub directly against her chest, which made both of us very embarrassed for a while.

I was a little speechless by this girl: "What the hell is the matter with you?" ”

When I said this, Liu Dan's face turned even redder, and two crystal tears squeezed out of his eyes: "A little sister who lived near my house was killed a while ago, I saw it with my own eyes, and she died a miserable death... ”

"What does this have to do with me?"

At this moment, Liu Dan seemed to have mustered up enough courage, finally raised his head, looked at me timidly and said, "So, I want to say, can you send me back?" ”
