Chapter 2: Death and Birthday Gifts
"Amazing night view. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
On the rooftop of the Shengye Building, Wang Ye took off his sunglasses, held a purple gem in his hand, and stood on the edge of the rooftop overlooking the city.
Colorful neon lights and busy traffic lines illuminate this city that never sleeps. "Auction Capital" and "Prosperous City", the beauty of the night scene of D City is worthy of its title of drunken gold fans.
Pity......
Wang Ye coughed heavily, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the railing.
Yesterday, his attending physician gave him an ultimatum, and if nothing else, his life would be within these three days. This was outside of his plan, he had planned for the last theft to be scheduled for two days later, but time was running out, so he had to bring it forward to today. His time is running out......
Half a year ago, when he learned that he had terminal lung cancer, he finally realized that he had been doing something so boring all his life.
What is the top student in the city's college entrance examination, what is the top student of Beijing University, what is the first prize of the physics competition, what is the champion of the national darts competition, and what is the youngest person in charge of the technical department of a multinational enterprise......
He has gained a lot of fame, spent all his time on so-called "meaningful" things, and never even talked about a young love.
But looking back, all this vain fame seemed so small and worthless in front of death.
One day three months ago, he finally figured it out.
Before the end of your life, at least do something that you didn't dare to think about or do before.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a policewoman with a few special police officers kicked open the door of the rooftop, pulling Wang Ye's thoughts back.
He put on his sunglasses and turned his head, and greeted the beautiful policewoman with a smile:
"Yo, Yuzi, it's fast. ”
"You know me?"
Gao Yuzi was stunned for a moment, the man in front of him was well-proportioned, although he was wearing thick sunglasses, he could vaguely see a young and handsome face, but his face was a little pale. She has been handling cases for so many years, and she has seen all the fierce and vicious gangsters, but it is the first time she has seen an elegant and demure gangster like the man in front of her.
What's more, she found that the man didn't seem to have a gun, nor did he take any hostages, but just stood alone on the rooftop, as if he was tired, and came here to blow the evening breeze and look at the scenery.
However, Gao Yuzi knew in his heart that no matter what the person in front of him was, he was a suspect and the culprit of a series of major larcenies. Without thinking much about it, Gao Yuzi, Captain Li and the other special police officers all raised their guns one after another and aimed them at Wang Ye.
"You are already surrounded, and I advise you to surrender as soon as possible. Gao Yuzi said. For a suspect who did not have a hostage escort, they could have shot and killed if necessary.
However, Wang Ye's expression did not fluctuate, he just smiled slightly, and showed his two hands so that everyone could see it clearly.
"Wow. Wang Ye pointed to his left hand, which was a beautiful purple gem, which was the "Purple Moon Love" that was stolen tonight.
And in his right hand, a trigger is tightly held in his hand, and the trigger button is pressed by his thumb.
All the police officers recognized it at a glance, it was the remote control of the trigger-type bomb, and once Wang Ye's finger was released, the bomb would explode.
Captain Li and a few special police officers who came with him broke out in a cold sweat, and they slowly looked around, only to see that no less than five bombs were being planted near the entrance of the rooftop, surrounding them tightly.
Only Gao Yuzi did not move, still staring closely at Wang Ye's eyes, and said:
"You can't fool me, the bomb is fake, you let go. ”
As he spoke, he unfastened the pistol's insurance.
"Oh?" Wang Ye smiled, and before he could reply, several police officers behind Gao Yuzi, including Captain Li, were anxious.
"Don't don't, don't let go!" Captain Li shouted first, and hurriedly pressed down Gao Yuzi's gun hand.
"Let him loose! The bomb is fake!" Gao Yuzi glared at Captain Li through gritted teeth, but Captain Li didn't dare to make this bet at all.
"No, Officer Gao, it's okay if it's fake, if it's true, it's all over!" Captain Li exclaimed in a cold sweat.
"You...... Alas!" Gao Yuzi didn't have a point, she glanced at the several police officers behind her, one yard was the special police under Captain Li, she wouldn't listen to anything. She really regretted that she hadn't seen the meaning of the letter K on the front of the card earlier, and if she had thought that K was hinting at the rooftop above the 12th floor, she would have been able to arrest people with her subordinates from the Crime Squad earlier.
Wang Yexiao watched them infighting, slowly walked backwards to the edge of the rooftop, and said:
"Since you don't shoot, I'll go. ”
As he spoke, Wang Ye suddenly leaned back and planted straight down from the rooftop.
"Ahh
"Run, run!" Gao Yuzi stomped her feet angrily, she picked up a so-called "bomb" and threw it in front of Captain Li: "Take a closer look at what it is!"
Captain Li was frightened, but when he looked closely, he saw that the "bomb" had fallen out of many brick slags, which were actually bricks wrapped in silver paper.
"Tema's! dare to lie to Lao Tzu!" Captain Li kicked the "bomb" and led a few of his men to quickly run to the edge of the rooftop to look down.
I saw that the suspect had fallen to his death on the ground at the bottom of the building, and his body was lying on the ground.
"It's fine. Captain Li snorted, turned his head to Gao Yuzi and said, "The suspect has committed suicide." ”
"Suicide!" Gao Yuzi rolled his eyes angrily: "The one at the bottom of the building is a puppet!
Gao Yuzi guessed correctly.
When Wang Ye planted it from the roof of the building just now, he had already slid into the 12th floor along the air cushion he had prepared on the balcony on the 12th floor, and then threw a puppet prepared in advance from the window, in order to confuse the public.
At this time, he was wearing a SWAT suit and a SWAT mask, walking leisurely out of the back door of the building, then taking off his mask and getting into a taxi.
"Let's go, master. ”
Wang Yesai gave the driver a stack of money, which was tens of thousands of yuan, and he was stunned when he saw it.
"Anywhere, take me for a ride around the city, and if you're fast enough, add another stack later." ”
"Good! good!" the driver nodded repeatedly, and with one foot on the accelerator, the taxi sped out, no less fast than a race car. Lo and behold, everyone has potential, it's just that a lot of times it's not exciting enough.
On the rooftop of the Shengye Building, Gao Yuzi noticed the high-speed taxi from afar. But it was too fast for the police to catch up with it now. What's more, it was just her instinct, and she wasn't sure it was the car the suspect was in.
"Let's search each floor again. Gao Yuzi raised the walkie-talkie: "If there is no one, call it a day." ”
"Yes......" came a sparse response over the intercom.
It's no wonder that who would want to work overtime overnight at night.
......
On the third day after the theft of Purple Moon Love, Gao Yuzi ushered in her 25th birthday.
But she is obsessed with handling cases, and she has never had the concept of a birthday in her mind, and all she thinks about is the series of gem theft cases.
The suspect's motive?
This is always what Gao Yuzi can't figure out the most. Because every time a gem is stolen, there are auctions that are more valuable than stolen gems, and there are a lot of large amounts of cash deposited by buyers. If it's for money, it doesn't make sense to just take that gemstone.
Other than that......
Gao Yuzi deeply remembered that when he inspected the scene two days ago, he found a trace of blood on the railing of the roof of the Shengye Building, as if someone had sprayed it on it. However, the suspect did not take the hostages at that time, could it be the bloodstain......
"Officer Gao, your courier. ”
Just as he was thinking, a courier boy in yellow clothes and a red hat suddenly handed over an envelope.
Courier?
I have received all kinds of confession letters, but this time the envelope gave her a strange feeling.
She hurriedly signed and opened the envelope with great ease, only to see that there was nothing but a card in the envelope.
It's solitaire again.
In the last Midnight Mansion, after the suspect stole Purple Moon Love, he didn't leave the cards like the previous times. Unexpectedly, it was sent to Gao Yuzi in the form of a courier, as if it was a naked provocation.
The cards are drawn, and the front of the card is a gray clown. Grey Joker, the king of 54 cards.
Turning it to the back, I saw that this time it was not written the time, but it was written like this:
"Ending, Room 701, Building 3, Gucheng Community, I hope you come alone. ”
Coming alone?
Gao Yuzi was not frightened, she picked up the cards and didn't shoot them, and rushed out of the police station alone. Got on a taxi and went straight to the Gucheng community.
Gucheng Community is an old community in D City, which is very old, and the building is a little dilapidated.
Gao Yuzi checked the cards and touched all the way to Room 701 of Building 3.
When she reached the door, she was sure that she was not mistaken, because the door of room 701 was hidden, as if waiting for someone.
She took a deep breath, pulled out her gun, held it in her hand, and cautiously pushed the door in. But as soon as I entered the door, I didn't encounter any traps, nor did I have any ambush gangsters. Only a white hospital bed was placed on the side of the room, and next to the bed were ventilators and ECG monitors.
On the ECG monitor, the green ECG beats weakly, emitting a faint and rhythmic "beep...... Honk...... Honk...... Toot ......"
On the hospital bed, a haggard man lay weakly. Seeing Gao Yuzi, he seemed to want to say something, but with a breathing mask on his mouth, he could only see bursts of white haze on the hood.
"Is that you?"
Gao Yuzi gasped and stood there, the gun in his hand falling to the ground with a "ding-dong". She knew the man on the hospital bed, it was her classmate in high school, Wang Ye, a boy who had been sitting across the aisle for three years in high school. Judging from the shape of his face, she recognized him at a glance as the suspect who appeared on the roof of the Midnight Mansion at that time.
For a while, all kinds of memories from high school, a series of thefts in recent months, the blood found on the rooftop railing, and the scene in front of her were strung together, and she finally understood...... Understood all this......
She saw Wang Ye on the hospital bed smile at her, and stretched out a weak finger to point to a desk in the room.
I saw a delicate birthday cake standing tall above the desk.
At the top of the cake, there is a card inserted. The colorful clown, the ace of poker.
On the back of the card, simple English letters are written, and it is still a slightly exaggerated font:
"HappyBirthday, voice. ”
On the surface of the cake, Carmen Red Night, Kumquat Cat's Eye, Tiffany Yellow Diamond, Emerald Heart, Orlov Green Gem, Oriental Water Jade, Purple Moon Love, and seven precious gems are arranged in a crooked heart shape.
This is the most unique birthday gift Gao Yuzi has ever received in her life.
Two lines of tears flowed down the stream.
There was a sleeping "dripping .................." from the ECG monitor
