After going down the mountain, in addition to the 500 yuan promised by Hong Laosi, I added an additional 300, which was counted as a red envelope. As soon as I got on the bus back to the provincial capital, I coughed a few dry coughs in the back seat of the car, and the young man who had been rejuvenated by the impermanence finally woke up.

"Liuzi, he's awake." Lin Qiao on the side called me, I went into the back seat and sat down, and the two police comrades who were driving looked at us in the rearview mirror and asked, "Eh, do you two know each other?" How is he, should he be taken to the hospital? ”

The young man looked at me in confusion, then at his surroundings, as if he hadn't reacted to what was happening for a moment. I replied, "No, what's your name?" ”

The young man shook his head vigorously and said two words in a weak voice: "... Holo. ”

After a pause, he shook suddenly, as if he remembered something, looked up at me, and touched himself in surprise: "You...... I...... What's going on? I still ......"

"Let's wait until the hospital." I didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and raised my hand to interrupt him. After a pause, I lowered my voice and asked, "Do you know this?" ”

As I spoke, I showed him a part of Emperor Wu's Gu Mirror. In front of the police, I didn't dare to show off the antique mirror in its entirety, otherwise it would be enough to accuse me of reselling cultural relics.

He Luo's eyes froze instantly, and then he raised his eyes to look at me. The aura on his body suddenly became vigilant, and it was rare to have such a reaction in such a mental and physical state.

He likewise whispered, "Who are you?" ”

"Out of the horse, Liu Jiayuan." I gave my name.

When He Luo heard this name, his pupils contracted obviously, a little surprised, a little surprised: "You are the one who came out of the horse?" You're a lot younger than I thought you were. ”

"You've heard of me?" This time it was my turn to be unexpected.

"I've heard a lot...... You're involved in this matter because of Yuanyuan, right? After He Luo's consciousness gradually sorted out the situation, he became very transparent, and through my name, he seemed to guess something, "Can you promise me one thing, don't tell Yuanyuan, about me?" ”

Again, this was a surprise to me.

I frowned and wondered, "Why?" ”

"You should have guessed what my job is." He Luo pulled out the pendant around his neck, and his pale and weak face was filled with a hint of tiredness and helplessness, "I don't want her to... Involved in danger. ”

That pendant, snake eyebrows and moon pupils, copper fish shape. It can be opened in the middle to have a space for a small thing.

I have seen the credit knife man open it, and I have also seen Qian Jiajia have a strap around his neck. The one on He Luo's neck is the third one I've ever seen, and it all means the same thing: an investigator from a relevant department.

I don't know exactly what this job is, but it is not difficult to see from Li Quanfeng, who died in the line of duty, the man who was born and died, and He Luo, who almost died in Jiming Temple, that this job is adjacent to death and danger.

I closed my eyes and thought about it, then nodded, "I can not tell her, but you have to tell me about you." In this way, I can have an explanation for Yuanyuan's commission. ”

I actually wanted to ask him, since it was near the provincial capital, why didn't he go and meet Chen Yuanyuan? Since you are inextricably linked, childhood sweethearts who have been interdependent since childhood, why don't you see each other until life and death part, and turn into an obsession?

He Luo hesitated slightly, and then he nodded: "I will tell you everything I can say." ”

There were no words all the way, and the policemen sitting in the front row couldn't understand the conversation between the two of us. Originally, the two of us had to record a confession, but we happened to meet the Wang team, and we saved ourselves from these troubles by helping to say a few words.

I asked about Xu Qing's situation by the way, after that kid broke his leg last time, the team gave him half a month of long leave to recuperate.

Team Wang scolded with a smile: "That little rabbit cub, the team gave him half a month to recuperate." He's good! You know what? Take him to climb the Yellow Mountain! Fuck, this monkey cub. Wait for him to come back, see if I don't arrange a 50-kilometer training for him, the practice won't kill him! ”

After fighting with the Wang team here, haha, He Luo over there also checked it out. There is nothing wrong with people, but they are a little anemic and sugar insufficient, and they simply have to eat something.

"Let's go, I'll take you to eat something, and tell your story by the way." I got up to say goodbye to the Wang team, and took He Luo to a barbecue stall that was open on the street.

I've been to this barbecue stall many times, and I came with Song Dabao and Xiao Sanye, two foodies. Not to mention, I had to go in every time I had to go in a few hundred to a thousand, so much so that the shopkeeper couldn't stop talking when he saw me coming.

We've missed a meal when we've been here, and we've only had a few tables. I ordered a dozen skewers, six beers, and grilled eggplant, and when the dishes were almost ready, I filled them both with a glass, then picked up the skewers and said, "Let's start talking." ”

"Let me think about where to start." He Luo picked up the wine glass and took a sip, looking up at the sky, "The sky of the provincial city is still like this......

The August wind blew, warm and cold, blowing up He Luo's past.

He Luo has loved to draw since he was a child, and his talent was shown at a very young age. But his family situation did not allow him to pursue his ideals, and the pressure from the two words of life made him bear the pressure of life early on his immature shoulders.

And the little girl who lived next door to his house at that time was the only light in his dark life. He yearns for her sunshine and bravery, for her courage to chase her dreams.

So when she chose to go to the provincial capital for development, he also followed silently.

He Luo didn't tell her that he wanted to use his own skills to break through this city full of opportunities, and wanted to make himself worthy of the girl in his heart.

Even if he is destined to face thorns, he is willing to go to the soup and go to the fire to walk again.

Now the little girl has grown up, grown into a beautiful girl, and has become beautiful. And he also encountered a head-on blow from life at that time, and he began to gradually realize that there was a crack and a ravine between the two, which was gradually widening the distance between the two.

Unlike the girl's modeling path, He Luo does not have a regular job in the provincial capital. Because of dropping out of school at an early age, his academic qualifications were frustrated everywhere, and he could only work in some restaurants and go to supermarkets part-time at night to earn expenses.

It was at this turning point in his life that he came into contact with the first dangerous distortion of consciousness.

"I was at a low point in my life, and it happened that there was a small ghost gate where I was. In just one month, there were twenty-one hangers in the building where I lived, and I almost became one of them. ”

He Luo said slowly and took another sip of beer.

I couldn't help but be shocked when I heard this, and gasped: "The incident that happened in that building on Honghaibin Road, it is said that there were twenty-two hanged people one after another at that time, and the last one was found and saved...... It's you? ”

He Luo nodded: "The one who saved me at that time was the investigator of the department responsible for dealing with the ghost gate incident there." It was also because of him that I joined the organization. ”
