CH.3 Returning Home

At six o'clock in the evening, the sun gradually sets and the sunset falls. The sky transitions from bright blue to golden yellow, and then from golden yellow to purple red, like an infinitely long and changing tapestry. The clouds are rendered by the gorgeous glow, spreading out the brilliant and warm sunset, and the city is embellished with the colorful satin of the setting sun, pulling out the afterglow hidden in the crowd.

At this time of the day, people's work is often over, and the bustle of the night market has just begun. As night falls, the fluorescent streets begin to show their flecks of light, and flying night lights roam around the city, drawing people to the bustling places.

The automatic doors of the shops opened one after the other, as if to pull the curtain on a carnival show. Crowds of people come out of their homes, workplaces, schools, and hotels to the night market to laugh and eat and drink.

The coolness of beer and the spicy aroma of barbecue take away the fatigue of office workers; The rhythm of the music and the dynamics of the dance release the pressure of the student party to prepare for the exam; The cups collided together, and the crunch woke up the sleeping soul; The topic fits in one place, and the fraternity of friendship is connected by talking and laughing.

Under the starry sky, the city is like a huge firefly, and the place it touches shines brightly; Where it is not reached, the undercurrent surges.

…………………………

A flying car with a blue tail flame streaked over the city, and the destination was the outskirts of the city, which was remote and lonely, and few residents visited even if the natural scenery was beautiful. At this time, the speed of the air flight increased significantly, and it was about to drive out of the city boundary.

"Whoaβ€”"

The window on the right side of the back seat of the airplane slowly lowered, and a melancholy-looking man poked his head out of the window and looked back at the bustling night market in the distance.

"The people there look so happy, and I want to go over and have a drink with them." The man said wistfully.

"yes, who wouldn't? For a police officer who doesn't have much free time, this kind of excitement is really quite precious. The woman who was sitting in front of her and driving sighed softly.

"This kind of excitement is not only precious, it is simply expensive, it costs 87,654 yuan!" The little girl sitting on the left side of the back seat shouted impatiently.

"Yes, eighty-seven thousand six hundred and fifty-four dots, but it's not money for fun, it's money for fighting."

The woman driving the car added with a smile.

"I know I know, Officer Liu, I'll pay, but in installments." The man in the back seat of the car took over the conversation bitterly.

"It's good to know, so that I don't bother. There are cameras everywhere in the city, and as long as you are in the city, I can find you wherever you flee, I hope you understand this, Mr. Gu Yingjun. ”

When Officer Liu Yanqing said this, she couldn't find a more suitable word to describe the expression on her face except that she was bound to win.

Gu Yingjun's face became even more melancholy, he gently patted the little girl sitting next to him, and muttered in a low voice, "Xiaomeng, why did you run away just now?" If you don't run, you may ......."

"Maybe you won't even be able to get a ride on her! We'll have to walk back! Gu Mengjia scolded her father angrily.

"Children, now is not the time to be angry, if you are good at math, help Dad calculate the family's property, I'll talk to my colleagues first, and I won't talk to you."

Liu Yanqing happily picked up the walkie-talkie, adjusted the air flight to automatic driving mode, and began to talk to colleagues.

Gu Yingjun was in a complicated mood, he opened the car window to the maximum, and released his emotional pressure by enjoying the scenery, Gu Mengjia simply fell down and fell asleep. Her small backpack had skyrocketed after removing the dangerous weapons, and she was now sitting quietly and obediently between the two of them like a lady.

After two minutes, Liu Yanqing ended the conversation, and she began to laugh less happily.

"What's wrong? You seemed to be quite happy just now, did something bad happen? Gu Yingjun asked with concern.

"Alas, a piece of bad news and a piece of news that I don't know if it's good or bad," Liu Yanqing said, "it's all about that bombing." The bad news is that the technical department personnel found that the surveillance network near the office building at the time of the crime was all out of power, and we checked all the cameras and found no trace of the suspect.

"The good news is that one of the victims of the bombing survived, but he is currently lying in the ICU, his vital signs are not very stable, and he is currently in a state of aphasia, and he cannot provide us with any useful clues for the time being."

"That means you don't have any information about the bombing at the moment, right?"

"Yes, we only know where the bombing occurred, and we don't even know the specific time, so we can only vaguely guess the approximate situation - early in the morning, as for what time it is, it depends on the creation of the brother lying on the bed.

"I hope that he usually pays attention to health, does not smoke and drink and other vices, and it is best to watch less than the second dimension, so as to ensure that his body is hard enough to survive this catastrophe."

"In this way, the time is late enough, there are few witnesses, his own technical ability is excellent, and the time and place are favorable, this perpetrator is really a prison material."

"In fact, this kind of thing has happened not once or twice, with the development of the economy, the city's security problems are becoming more and more prominent, the most famous of which is the gangster organization AIR, I don't know if you have heard of them? Possessing state-of-the-art technology that even the Academy of Sciences would have astonished, this organization has a criminal network that spreads all over the world, with an untold number of members and bases.

"The number of criminal activities of this group of people is quite frequent, and out of the more than 300 criminal cases in the city every year, 250 or 60 are committed by their people, which can be said to be quite a terrifying proportion.

"And that's just the percentage of crimes committed in one of our cities, there are still recorded cases, and the number of crimes committed by the organization in other cities and even in other countries is unimaginable. The existence of AIR has had an extremely bad impact on China's international image, and the police in many places hope to completely eradicate this organization as soon as possible and restore the safety of the people. ”

"And have you ever caught any of their members? What happens if you catch it? ”

"Of course I did, but, but ......" Liu Yanqing's voice began to tremble.

"But how?"

"Mr. Gu! You don't understand! Those guys are just a bunch of crazy people! They've got bombs all on them! Once caught by the police, they will immediately detonate the bomb on their bodies and die with the police! Because of this group of scum, many colleagues have been sacrificed in the bureau!

"The wife of our director is said to have been killed by this group of guys, and her body has not been found until now! In order to protect his only son, the director hid his office elsewhere, and every once in a while he used a pseudonym to send us news about the activities of the AIR organization!

"Of course, do you think that these are the only victims of AIR? My parents are one of them! As police officers, they were shot dead by members of AIR when I was in high school! I will never forget the bullet holes in my parents' bodies when I claimed them! It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a hornet's nest! My dad's face was beaten into a patty, and my mother's leg was shot into a puddle of meat! I don't want to talk about the rest of the minced meat and blood!

"I originally wanted to be a flight attendant, but their death made me change my mind – I was going to be a police officer! In any case, I must meet the true face of the leader of the AIR organization! I'm going to finish him with my own hands! I'm going to watch him get killed! ”

The more Liu Yanqing spoke, the more excited she became, she turned around, her hands clasped the back of the seat, her body trembled violently uncontrollably, her handsome facial features became hideous and distorted because of hatred, Gu Yingjun could even hear the crying from the words of this police officer.

In order to better let Liu Yanqing vent her emotions, Gu Yingjun leaned forward slightly, looked at her with gentle eyes, listened carefully to her shouting and cursing, and at the same time silently counted seconds in her heartβ€”1, 2, 3, 4......

By the time he counted to the 33rd second, Liu Yanqing's facial expression was obviously much softer, her voice was not so harsh, and she even slowly began to smile, all of which showed that her mood was improving.

"I'm done," Liu Yanqing gasped, "I'm sorry to let you listen to my nonsense for so long, I shouldn't have passed on negative emotions to others, but I still couldn't help but say, I'm very sorry." ”

"It doesn't matter, after all, no one can bear the revenge of killing relatives, as a policeman, what you did just now can already be said to be quite calm and reasonable, if it is someone else, maybe you will start beating people." Gu Yingjun comforted softly in his voice.

Liu Yanqing looked at the young father in front of her gratefully, and she suddenly found that Gu Yingjun's eyes and voice had a special magic, a magic that could calm people's hearts.

Although he has passed the age of standing, his eyes and voice have a very peculiar sense of youth, lively and warm, giving people a quite comfortable feeling, making people always want to get close to him unnaturally. Thinking of this, Liu Yanqing suddenly blushed, and she found that this man had a kind of damn before-

Lovely!!!

Damn it!!! What's going on!! Am I tempted by an old man!! This, this, this!! That's impossible!!! When pigs fly!!!

Liu Yanqing looked calm on the surface, but in fact, she was panicked in her heart.

"Dididi-"

The chime of the horn pulls her back from her fantasy to reality – the suburbs have arrived.

The air began to land slowly, and a feeling of falling that was not violent hit the soles of the feet. Outside the window, the clouds said goodbye to them, and the bright moon slowly rose in people's field of vision, followed by endless mountains and forests.

At first, the scene on the ground seemed to them to be just a small black dot; Slowly, the small black dots began to grow more and more; Then, the black dots joined together to form a black line; Later, the black threads weaved into a black mist; Finally, with a muffled "bang", the car landed completely, and the three of them were completely surrounded by black fog.

"We're here, let's get off."

Liu Yanqing got up and opened the car door, she walked from the front car to the back car, and opened the door for the father and daughter.

"Come down." She urged.

"I can come down, but the kid is really hard to say." Gu Yingjun smiled awkwardly and pointed at Gu Mengjia.

Liu Yanqing realized that the child had fallen asleep, she looked up at Gu Yingjun, and found that the man's expression was quite tired, as if he hadn't closed his eyes for a few days.

"She's asleep, can you help me get the bag off? I carried her back. ”

Gu Yingjun picked up his bag as he spoke, opened the car door and got out of the car, Liu Yanqing noticed that he was staggering when he walked, and his steps were quite unstable, this man really needed to rest.

"No need Mr. Gu, take it, I'll take the child and go."

"Huh? How embarrassing is this......"

"Don't talk back to the police! Whatever I say is what it is! ”

Liu Yanqing glared at him, turned around and bent down into the car, scooped Gu Mengjia up from the seat with both hands, and let the child rest his head on his shoulders and put his legs on his arms.

When she did this, her movements were quite skillful and smooth, and the elegant and gentlemanly princess hugged her hand, and the movement she made was very small, Gu Mengjia was not awakened at all, and was still sleeping quietly in her arms.

"That's amazing! That's too professional, isn't it? Gu Yingjun exclaimed in a low voice.

"Well, in fact, it's nothing, I used to go to the scene of the crime to rescue injured colleagues, sometimes the stretcher is not enough, I hold it with my own hands, and the princess hugging this matter is just a sentence for me - no other, only familiar with my hands."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked one after the other into the forest. Gu Yingjun led the way in front with his bag, and Liu Yanqing followed behind with Gu Mengjia in his arms.

The forest at night is quiet and mysterious. The towering ancient trees hang their heads and sleep, like a contemplative old man reminiscing about the past, and the breeze of travel sleeps among the leaves, and the rustling of dreams rings in the ears. Swarms of fireflies flutter in the darkness, like shattered starlight, dotting the forest into a dark green Milky Way; The chubby owl stalked over the branches, like a dutiful guard, lighting a long lamp of awe for nature.

While crossing a small stream, Liu Yanqing stood on a small wooden bridge and looked at the source of the stream, which was a small hill that was not very high, with the moon perched on its head and the stars reflected in the lake at the top of the mountain. The laketop is connected to a mountain ditch, and the water of the lake is covered with stars and moons, and the water flows down the top of the mountain, into the foot of the mountain, through the forest, and finally into the stream at her feet.

After stopping for a while, she continued to follow Gu Yingjun forward. After walking for less than ten minutes, they had completely crossed the forest and came to a small cabin.

"Here it is."

After Gu Yingjun finished speaking, he took out the key from his daughter's backpack and opened the door.

…………………………

Smart City, Future People's Hospital, in an ICU ward.

"Hah-yaw-"

The little nurse sitting in the chair yawned deeply, she looked up at the clock, and saw that it was already 12 o'clock in the morning, and she looked back at the patient on the bed, and saw that the man was trying to move his fingers, as if trying to say something.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine, don't move around all the time, your skin will be torn. Besides, you're the only survivor of the bombing, and the police are hoping that you'll wake up early so they can ask for clues. Oops, I said don't move, why are you still moving? ……”

The little nurse was comforting the patient, and the automatic door of the ward suddenly opened slowly, and a tall nurse walked in from the door. The nurse wore a mask of the largest model on her face, which covered most of her face and showed only a pair of eyes. Her hair was curled up high, all hidden under the nurse's hat, not a single strand of hair was exposed, and the whole person looked serious and indifferent.

"I'm here for a shift change, you can go."

The big nurse's voice was rather dull, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

The little nurse wanted to ask a few words, but when she saw the cold appearance of the shift change, she couldn't help but feel a little frightened, so she swallowed the words that had just come to her lips and got up and left the ward.

…………………………

Water...... I want to drink water...... Nurse...... Give me water...... I'm so thirsty......

The patient on the bed moved her fingers desperately, trying to ask the nurse next to her for water, but the young nurse didn't understand what he meant, and after a few words of nonsense, she turned away, followed by a tall nurse on shift.

The patient looked desperately at the departing nurse and the new nurse, the burning sensation in his throat made him feel like he was in hell, and the sharp pain from the tearing skin and the dull pain caused by the anti-inflammatory potion in his body made him want to die immediately! He really can't understand why God wants to keep him in the ICU!! I don't understand why the hospital has to assign him a nurse who can't understand human speech!!

Thirsty, he turned his gaze to the big nurse with the last bit of hope, and struggled to move his fingers while making a "drink" gesture with his mouth that could not speak.

To his great surprise, the nurse seemed to understand his words at once, and she turned to the medicine cabinet, where she walked towards him with a special drinking bottle containing liquid. The man watched as the nurse's figure approached, and then his mouth was stuffed with a glassy, cold thing.

The nectar-like liquid flowed down the slender mouth of the bottle into the patient's throat, and the patient frantically sucked on the mouth of the bottle to get more, and he felt the strange smell of the water fed to him by the nurse, which made him feel quite comfortable, and he closed his eyes and silently enjoyed all this, and his heart was much more relieved.

But soon, not long after drinking the water, the patient suddenly felt a strong tingling sensation coming from his body, he felt that his internal organs were being twisted into a ball and kneaded violently, and his vision, which had been finally recovered, quickly blurred, and the whole person was convulsed in pain, as if he was sitting in an electric chair and being tortured.

The big nurse on the side looked at all this coldly, and she looked at the heart rate machine next to her from time to time. At first, the lines of the heart rate machine were relatively stable, then, the lines began to fluctuate, and then, the lines began to go up and down like a roller coaster, and finally, with the sound of "drop", the heart rate lines completely became a straight line, and the corners of the big nurse's mouth hooked up a weird smile.

After confirming that the patient was completely dead, the nurse opened the window, jumped down from a height of more than ten meters, and landed on the ground softly and sensitively like a black cat, and then she immediately got up and fled the hospital quickly after confirming that there was no one around.
