Chapter Two Hundred and Four: Return to the Rain
Rainy mornings are the most troublesome thing, running around with an umbrella early in the morning, stepping on either rain or mud, and even more darkness that hides dirt and dirt. A large dark cloud overhead, the wind gusting, the impulse of rain falling like a wild dance, what kind of color clothes to wear today, determines what kind of mood.
If I'm wearing a black jacket, my black T-shirt, a black raincoat, and a black umbrella, does that mean I'm going to the funeral? Or just have no clothes to wear, just a set of black and dark clothes.
Hell yes, nothing good happens every time it rains. Yesterday was still a clear sky, and the night was still a dark night when you could see the starry sky, but today there was a heavy rainstorm, and the heavy dark clouds covered the sky in an instant, coming and going without a trace, adding a gray sense of space to this colorful city, and the art students were itchy when they saw it.
I don't know when it was the last time it rained, but there were dark clouds, funerals, flowers, and the end of the day.
The sleet rushed to Nanshi, and the rainwater on the streets flowed into the sewers, and the dark clouds that gathered together were like big sluices and desperately rained, and the sewers had no time to clean up the sewage, and the rainwater was muddy together. Crystal clear water droplets like pearls, falling from a height of 100 meters and smashing on the ground, smashing on the rooftop, on the ceiling, on the corners where there is no place to hide, and even the garbage heap sandwiched in the alley has traces of rain.
Early in the morning at this time, the original sun rose slowly, but today was kicked away, the owner of the breakfast shop will squat and wait for the common people to come to take care of the small business, today because of the heavy rain, the business is delayed, the boss and the proprietress can only sit in the seat, watching the rain outside, the steamer is steaming, the two of them fight each other on the seat landlord, the loser decides who cooks today.
Municipal trucks rush into the rain and fog, shuttle back and forth throughout the city to collect garbage, keep the city clean and beautified, and in order to ensure the best state of the city, the city government will spend human resources to tidy up the city. The owner of the breakfast shop watched the municipal cleaning truck work in the heavy rain, the man sitting in the passenger seat put his legs in front of him, listening to songs and humming boredly, only the man in the driver's seat was concentrating on driving, the rain in front of him was foggy, and the speed of the car hovered around twenty.
Garbage stations are parked in specific places, but there are always some people who like to throw garbage near the door of their homes, and they can't walk a few steps, but whenever there is a place where the garbage is full, some people will follow the pace of the public and throw the garbage over, which is the bullshit mass power.
The man sitting in the driver's seat looked at the foggy and rainy day outside the car, the car slowed down, the cleaning truck passed by a small alley, every time he passed by, the entrance of the alley would be full of garbage, the man looked at that side speechlessly, the car stopped outside the entrance of the alley, and woke up the man in the passenger seat.
"Hey, hey, don't rest, if you don't do well, you'll be deducted from your salary again this month." The man woke the man up, and the man in the passenger seat got up slowly, opened his eyes in a daze, and saw that it was raining in the mist outside the car, but he still recognized the small alley he had been to before.
He complained impatiently, "Nervous ones, didn't you warn them last time?" Even though we don't have the right to manage the alley, is it interesting for them to do that? Will you die if you take a few more steps? β
The man complained and complained, but he still wrapped his raincoat tightly and opened the door and got out of the car, and the man in the driver's seat smiled bitterly for him. Man No. 2 wrapped in a raincoat and rushed into the heavy rain in the mist on his body, in this misty moment that his eyes can't see clearly, he has to be spoiled by the heavy rain, it is really a deadly rhythm, he shuddered with every step, and the thought of resignation flashed in his mind.
If he has money, or wins the lottery of five million one day, he must walk up to the leader with great momentum, throw the resignation letter in his face, and say to him, "I won't do it." β
But after all, the fantasy is soaked in formalin on a rainy day to become a standard, and the fantasy that people watch is like an unrealizable dream, and the unrealizable dream is like an untouchable final daydream, and finally the daydream will be destroyed in an instant, leaving only ashes-like memories.
Man No. 2 walked to the entrance of the alley and looked at the pile of garbage, his warning was so unfounded that everyone heard it clearly, and as a result, the left ear listened and the right ear came out. It's useless. Man No. 2 picked up two bags of garbage, one on the left and one on the right, and he turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly saw a scarred arm in the garbage heap.
Man No. 2 was a little stunned, he put down the garbage heap in his hand and walked over slowly, looking at the arm buried by the garbage heap, Man No. 2 turned over the garbage heap, and found a body washed by the rain, the whole body was exposed to heavy rain, his vision was full of mist, and the surrounding area was full of the smell of garbage heaps and corpse decay.
He was stunned, he turned around and ran, and hurriedly told his companion.
"Potato, potato...... There's a corpse in that garbage heap! β
The corpse buried in the garbage heap is none other than Lin Return! His face was pale, his eyes were open, his whole body was scarred, he couldn't describe any of his current state, he was ...... He's dead. The boy who was once a hot-blooded teenager was treated by unknown people in the short days after he left during that time.
The heavy rain covered his face, and the crystal clear raindrops fell in the air, extinguishing the blood in the young man's heart, and his youth ended here......
You...... Always a teenager.
β¦β¦
Soon, the local police immediately cordoned off the scene of the crime, and the forensic doctor examined the body in the heavy rain, and after the police confirmed the identity of the deceased, they investigated the people who were interviewed. The crowd of onlookers grew, and the police could not drive the crowd away to investigate, and the owner of the breakfast shop also came to watch, and he looked at the corpse spread in the garbage heap, and immediately recognized the young man who had taken care of the shop.
The assistant Xiao Li came over and told the Yu team the information he was investigating, "Yu team, the deceased's name is Lin Huihui, male, about eighteen years old, studying at the Nanshi Old Town Vocational and Technical School. According to the results of the forensic autopsy, the deceased was brutalized before his death, and the last knife was fatal to the abdomen, and he died directly. We also found a large amount of snow inhaled in the body of the deceased, according to the investigation site, this is the first place to dump the body, the deceased died about three days ago, the forensic doctor investigated the traces of the corpse was washed by the rain, only the surface of the coat was wet, it did not rain a few days ago, and nearby residents piled up garbage in this alley every day, so the deceased was probably abandoned here two days ago. β
"Hmm." Team Yu nodded.
The assistant Xiao Li continued, "We also found a note on the deceased, which presumably was his last words. β
Xiao Li handed the note to Team Yu, who took the note and opened the note to see that half of the envelope paper in the twelve-column format was soaked by the rain, but the content was still clearly visible.
"Can you inform his parents?" Team Yu asked.
Assistant Xiao Li shook his head, "I can't be notified, no one answers." β
"Then you go to the school to investigate and inform the two people on the envelope." Team Yu continued.
"Okay." Assistant Xiao Li nodded.
Four days ago.
Old Town, cabaret hall at night.
Under the illusion of daytime, the cabaret looks like an ordinary tavern, but in fact it is not much different from the atmosphere of the night. The night is an all-night party with drinks and twinkling lights. During the day, it's a normal tavern, but there's a noisy casino underneath.
In the darkness of filth, people throw the chips in their hands and walk towards higher desires.
He stood in place, he was stunned? Or have all the souls flown away? He clutched a chip in his hand, which was his last bet. If this one goes down and the bet is successful, then he will be prosperous and rich, and his life will usher in the highest peak. So, what if you lose? If he loses the bet, he will be ruined, his wife will be separated, or worse.
The cacophony of the casino passed through his ears, but did not reach the depths of his soul. They had ugly faces, threw the chips in their hands, and gambled again and again. The fruits of the victory attracted them to bet again, to give their souls once more. The gambler's heart hovers at the edge of the soul, and under his feet is the endless abyss. Every pore on his body was tense and stretched, cold sweat slid down his rough skin, and the chips in his hands were about to shatter his only hope.
Why did he do that? Why take the bet approach to winning? Maybe you want to become a millionaire at the first time, want to sit on tens of millions of assets, have beautiful women around you, and countless luxury cars, this may be the fantasy that every gambler wants to have the most, and wants to win everything with the chips in his hand.
But sometimes "bet"! It also depends on luck.
He is very sober, if he loses the bet with this one chip, then all his illusions will be completely shattered, and even ...... More serious, not only hopeless, possibly ...... Not even the right to live...... Imprisoned in a casino for the rest of his life, at the mercy of others......
He is the embodiment of every gambler in the casino, some of them are very sober, and they know that they will accept it when they see it, and they will not be so lucky if they continue to gamble. Some continue to throw chips again and again, their eyes are completely blinded by desire, under the harvest of the scythe of death, the soul is taken away at any time, and it is useless to have an empty body, and they will still continue to bet like a walking corpse.
Everyone here is like this, wanting to become famous in one fell swoop, and return with a full load. If you want to use the fastest shortcut to win the first pot of gold in your life, with this first pot of gold alone, you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. Of course, everything has a fantasy side, and if fantasy can be realized, it will no longer be a pipe dream, dreams will come true, and you can wake up with a smile when you sleep. If it is not realized, no amount of daydreaming is useless, and after all, it will become the most beautiful bubble, which will burst at the first touch.
Lin Hui stood in the underground casino, carrying a gasoline can, his eyes swept around the entire underground casino, his eye sockets were dark, his face was pale, he was no longer able to turn back and touch those beautiful things, he turned around, locked the door of the past permanently, and carried everything alone, he went to the bottomless darkness, the black that could not be touched, the heart that could not be ignited, and the blood was slowly extinguished in his heart.
He didn't come here to bet, he came here to settle accounts, he had no chips to bet on, only his soul could fight, he would fight with his own life, he simply didn't want to die.
Why did he do this? Isn't it okay to apply for redemption? Is it bad to be alive? Isn't it okay to feel the embrace of the sun? No, no, no, no...... He can't go back, what other way can he go? Go to a drug rehabilitation center to save yourself? Or do you settle accounts with those who hurt him? He would rather choose the latter than go to a drug rehabilitation center.
Anyway, he has a short life, so before he dies, he will be enthusiastic and squander his remaining blood, he doesn't want to do nothing before leaving, and he will be burdened with the label of a coward and a drug addict. He wants to be the righteous boy again, a young man full of enthusiasm, and a young man with no regrets.
Baccarat stud in his eyes is a blank piece of paper, everyone on the stage desperately to bet, today even if he is a fire to burn here, with the soul as a companion, and dance with death, he also wants to let the demons in front of him die together, youth at this moment became his last shield.
He called a passerby and asked, "What would you do if today was your last day?" β
Passers-by drank beer and told him, "Then I must bet well, it's the last day anyway, if I don't bet now, will I bet again when I die?" Scold! Hey, hey, get out of the way, don't get in my way to play baccarat. β
Passers-by bumped Lin Huihui's shoulder, and Lin Huihui stood in place with a smile. The beautiful dealer in front of him is dealing cards, the dirty gambler is making a fortune, and he is angry at this moment. He poured the gasoline barrel in his hand to the ground openly, and the noise no one paid attention to him, but it still attracted the attention of the spectators.
"Hey! What are you doing! β
Lin Hui looked at him, he carried the oil drum and retreated to the gate, he blocked the last passage, this is an underground casino, but there are not so many escape routes for you, but he doesn't understand the structure of the underground casino, some people in order to leave a way back for themselves, the escape channels are often connected to the sewer. Only those in the know know this, how can a layman know so many secrets except for coming to bet.
At this time, Lin returned to dominate the casino, and he poured the gasoline canister on the ground, blocking their only way back. He pulled out his gasoline lighter, and the flames were ready to be on standby, as long as he threw the gasoline lighter on the ground, the flames spread instantly. Now the casino atmosphere is a mess, they no longer bet, stop the baccarat and stud in their hands, and beg Lin to return not to mess around.
At this moment, Lin Huihui suddenly felt that he was superior to others and controlled their fate like a god.
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing, kid, don't mess around! β
"Is this person insane? Chasing the dragon, right? β
"Is there anyone out there?! There's a psychotic mess in the casino! β
Their words are entwined, and they are not afraid of knotted tongues, but they are afraid that madmen will do crazy things. Lin Hui looked at them with a sneer, and he said something coldly.
"If you love to gamble, then you can bet even further down. I'm crazy, I'm addicted to chasing dragons, you all go to death. Lin Hui threw the gasoline lighter in his hand on the ground, the flame fell to the ground, instantly ignited the gasoline, and spread directly around, the fire was full of flames, the crowd panicked, Lin Hui looked at the gamblers who were trapped by the flames with mockery, he turned around and ran, running to the channel with light.
Suddenly, he bumped into a huge figure, directly blocking his way, Lin Hui looked at the passage of light was blocked by the black shadow, and the incomparably huge body blocked the door, Lin Hui panicked. Behind the huge black shadow was several managers in black suits, like bodyguards, following behind the black shadow.
The black shadow watched the exit of the underground casino locked by flames, and the cries for help of gamblers and dealers were heard inside, and the black shadow instantly understood something.
"What did you do to my casino?!" The black shadow grabbed Lin Hui's collar and lifted him high. The two approached, and Lin Hui finally saw clearly what the black shadow looked like, that fierce face, extremely powerful muscles all over his body, and his huge body was full of irritable aura, he didn't have any hair, and his shiny head should have made people feel ridiculous, but he was extremely fierce, his swollen body was supporting the whole white suit, and a cigar was burning in his mouth.
Lin Hui panicked, and the man with an incomparably huge body was choking his neck.
The next moment, he suddenly fell unconscious, and the person in front of him suddenly punched him in the last second, and his vision immediately went black. They pushed Lin Hui into the small room, beating him up and kicking him a few times. When he was still a little conscious, he found himself in a small cabin, the pain instantly spread all over his body, he touched his face, nosebleeds were flowing all over his mouth, he felt that he was beaten and his nose was swollen, he couldn't bear to look directly, it seemed that he had met the behind-the-scenes boss of an underground casino, including a dance hall.
His vision was blurry, and the huge man stood outside the door looking at him, smiling, he was happy to admire the way others were beaten, the cigar in his mouth was burning with life, and the white suit was bright and bright, only the bald head was more glamorous than the suit.
"Boss, do you want to continue beating this kid?" The manager next to him walked over and asked, and the boss held a cigar between his fingers and spat smoke on the manager's face and told him.
"What do you say? If you burn half of my underground casino, see if I beat you up. β
The manager swallowed his saliva and understood the boss's gesture, and he turned around and instructed everyone to continue beating the kid in front of him. The boss blocked the door, smoking a cigar with a smile on his face, watching the kid in front of him being beaten, and his stomach suddenly propped up his suit. Suddenly, a manager walked up to him with a folder and said to his boss.
"Boss, this kid spent a night in our cabaret a month ago, and then he was poisoned by our guys. He is in charge of Lu Zhi, for half a month, Lu Zhi gave this kid a lot of snow mountains (white face codename), in recent weeks Lu Zhi suddenly disappeared, no one is responsible for raising this kid, I guess, this is part of Lu Zhi's plan. Who knew that this kid wanted to take revenge on us, and looking at the way he is now, he should not live long. β
The boss nodded, waved his hand, and told his men to step back first.
"It's a customer, it's a sin. I really didn't expect Lu Yu to take care of you, that woman never obeyed my arrangement, she always had her own ideas, young people, love to think, that's why I like to stay with young people. In the face of conspiracy or murder, I usually give myself two choices, guess which one would I choose? The boss smoked a cigar and looked at the scarred Lin Hui and asked.
Lin Hui's eyes were tired, and he gasped and said, "I think...... You're like a big idiot, like that woman, who always likes to force people to do things. You are the ones who hurt me, you are the ones who make me lose my life. You're going to get ......"
"Poof!" The boss took out a Type 56 three-angular bayonet and covered Lin Huihui's mouth first, and then without saying a word, he held the bayonet and slammed it into Lin Huihui's abdomen, the boss smiled and looked at Lin Huihui, the young man in front of him struggled desperately, the surrounding managers held down his limbs, he was struggling, he was struggling, and finally he was powerless to struggle, he looked at the boss with two eyes, his eyes were bloodshot, his eye sockets were dark, his face was pale, and his mouth spit bright red blood.
The boss stood up and took a white cloth to wipe the blood from the bayonet, and he walked to the sink to wash the blood on the upper left. Then opened the counter, took out the goblet from it, and then took out a bottle of red wine, the boss poured a small half of red wine into the goblet, and then walked in front of Lin Huihui, squatted down, held the goblet in his hand, and stretched it to his mouth, the blood in Lin Huihui's mouth flowed into the red wine in the goblet, the red was dyed together, the two were mixed together, and the bright red color was even more bloody.
The boss shook the goblet gently, swaying the red wine, he took a small sip, and the boss smiled and was satisfied. The manager next to him stood still, watching the boss taste the glass of '82-year-old Lafite mixed with the blood of an eighteen-year-old, and the taste was known only to him.
"Throw the corpse at the intersection of Wenxiang Road, there is a garbage heap at the entrance of that alley, stuff the corpse into the garbage heap and then leave." The boss said.
"Yes." Managers get the idea.
Five hours ago.
Lin Huihui passed by a breakfast shop, he looked at the steamer in the faΓ§ade of the breakfast shop, there were freshly baked hot buns inside, with the warmth of winter, the traces of autumn, the embrace of summer, and the baptism of spring. The boy looked up at the endless blue sky, with a few white clouds rushing through my world, swimming the world above my sky.
The boy's stomach growled, he had no money to provide food and clothing, let alone travel the world, he didn't accept the pampering of the sea, standing on the horizon of no man's land, he was like a pitiful air that no one inhaled, like carbon dioxide spit out of someone's mouth, an abandoned newspaper, and a canned bottle after drinking an ice coke.
He took one last look at the breakfast shop, Lin Hui touched his stomach, and continued his confused path. Suddenly, the owner of the breakfast shop called him, and Lin Hui turned to look at the boss.
"Are you hungry? I happen to have unsold buns here, do you want them? Said the owner of the breakfast shop.
Lin Hui nodded, he sat in front of the breakfast shop and ate a few steamed buns given to him by the boss, fish-flavored shredded pork buns, and his favorite sauerkraut buns. He took out the phone and found Huang Tian's call record in the contact page, he wanted to dial the number, but he didn't know what kind of state to face him, because he had to deal with one thing today, and he wanted to take revenge on those who hurt him.
The idea of dialing the number rolled around in Lin Hui's mind, and in the end, he still felt that forget it, that guy would definitely say a lot of words to keep him, and he couldn't stand the sensational picture. In the end, I chose to use WeChat voice to tell Huang Tian, which should be regarded as the last word.
As for Achu...... He couldn't face Achu, he almost hurt Achu, and now he can't face him. Anyway, after telling Huang Tian, Huang Tian will also tell Ah Chu, just let them worry, worry, at least in their hearts, there is still my brother.
"I ...... I really don't know how to face you, I'm running out of options, I don't know what I'm living for...... I'm sorry Huang Tian, Achu, and Zhong Yu, are you all right? I'm living alone now...... It's not good at all, I miss you, I often miss the happy times we all had together, building Gundam together, nostalgic for the youth that is about to pass together, I'm sorry ......"
"I'm probably going to leave this world...... I can't fight with you guys for our future, I'm sorry for what I did before, I'm sorry...... Brothers can't be with you to meet the future...... I...... My youth ends here, thank you for accompanying me all the way, I am very happy, with you accompanying me, my youth will not be absurd past, my blood ...... Always in your heart, keep it forever, and I hope you can continue to keep your blood alive, because we are ...... Supe
supe

!β
"Goodbye Huang Tian, goodbye Achu, goodbye Zhong Yu...... I'm one step ahead, and our former brothers, Shanhai, are waiting for me...... Bye...... My youth, goodbye...... My blood, goodbye...... Thank you, all of you, for always being there for me. β
Lin Huihui sent this sixty-second voice to Huang Tian, and then he turned off the network, pulled out the mobile phone card, deleted WeChat, and handed the mobile phone to the owner of the breakfast shop, there were tears in the corners of the young man's eyes, and he smiled at the boss and said a word.
"Boss, I don't have any money for you, give you this phone." Remember to restore the factory settings when you use it, there is too much garbage in it, but there are youthful moments that belong to me and my brother...... It was a small regrettable memory......"
Lin Hui walked alone on the street, with his hands in his pockets, facing the sunny road ahead, a breeze blew, blowing the young man's black hair, the prosperous scenery stayed in his field of vision for a long time, the confusion of his youth, in exchange for only cherishing the time of youth more, he grew up, that teenager he grew up, he walked farther away.
