The calm tone of the statement made the girl on the other end of the phone seem to have pressed the pause button. The hangup button was just under her thumb, but she couldn't press it for a long time.

"Do you want to talk to him?"

Shen Xingge looked at the man lying on the table with red eyes due to emotion, "This is your last chance to talk."

The girl murmured, "Where is he...?"

Shen Xingge handed the phone to the man's ear.The man's lips trembled, but no sound came out.

After 30 seconds of silence, a small "Brother?" came from the phone.

The man finally opened his mouth, his voice hoarse like an old blower, making a "hehe" sound.

Finally, he shouted out two words with difficulty, "Lingling."

"I am here..."

Hearing his sister's voice, the man suddenly calmed down, and he couldn't feel any pain on his body. The slim appearance of his sister appeared in his mind, and the people around him seemed to have disappeared, like the brother and sister. People chatted as usual: "Pan Wei...is that boy good to you?"

The girl could no longer think about how her brother, who had not seen her for nearly 10 years, learned her boyfriend's name. She nodded blankly, "It's good."

"Have everyone in his family seen him?"

"I've seen it."

"Are you easy to get along with?"

"good...."

"If his family bullies you, you tell..." As soon as the words left his mouth, the man fell silent and immediately changed his topic, "I paid a sum of money to the school account where you went to college... If you encounter him in the future What..." The man swallowed back what he said, "It's unlucky to say this. Don't worry, the money is clean. I earned it when I was fishing."

The girl nodded, "Okay..."

At this point, the man wanted to say something else, but when he opened his mouth, he found that the words he wanted to say were meaningless.

"Take care of yourself...I will be sorry for you as my brother in this life."

The girl shook her head and nodded. Her brother had almost lost all contact with her since he went abroad. There were only occasional inexplicable extra accounts in the bank account. She knew that her brother was not doing a serious business, but she didn't She had the courage to report and pretended to be deaf and mute. She never dared to use the money, as if she had never had such a relative. But now she heard the hoarse breathing on the phone, and the memories of her childhood dependence were drowning her like a tide. .If I had been braver back then, my brother, as my only relative in the world, wouldn't have been like this. "In the future...brother, can you please stop doing these bad things in the future?"

The man was silent for a while, "Yeah. I won't do it anymore. I won't do it anymore." But he knew he had no future.

Shen Xingge took the phone back and said, "The humanistic care is over. Now you can think about it and see if there is anything else that you have forgotten."

"Brother! You told me when I was a kid, you can correct your mistakes if you know them..." The girl shouted forcefully before hanging up the phone.

The man moved his fingers and looked at the ceiling blankly, "If I tell you, can you guarantee my sister's safety?"

"It is the people behind you who are killing innocent people, not us. Only our victory will mean that your sister is eligible for security, so the value of your information is the prerequisite for your sister's security."

The man closed his eyes and was silent for a while again, "When I was young, the man who gave birth to my sister and me was a scumbag and often abused her at home. Finally, the woman who gave birth to my sister and me couldn't bear it anymore, so she secretly left me and my sister alone. After he ran away and without the woman, that scumbag became even more violent towards my sister and me. One day he was drunk... I went out to pick up trash, and my sister was the only one at home... ...When I came back, I saw my sister tied to the bed by him. If I came back a little later..."

The man spoke very calmly, but his facial muscles were faintly trembling.

Shen Xingge did not interrupt these irrelevant memories, but immediately asked, "Then what?"

"Then...Then I killed him, using his favorite wine bottle, slit his throat, not just his throat...Every cut made me feel happy. Just seeing him It looked so miserable that my whole body was covered in blood, and I knew that with the blood of this kind of scum flowing in my body, I couldn't get better."

When the man said this, under his calm mask, it seemed as if a swarm of ants had gathered in his chest, eating at his heart.

"After I was released from prison, I couldn't find a job, so I smuggled myself to an island country, where I fished and worked as a coolie. One day when I was out at sea, the boat was intercepted, and I and several other fellow villagers were arrested. In order to save our lives, we Those people asked us to help them do things, and at the beginning they were just buying simple goods, some fake antiques and the like."

Shen Xingge nodded: "Continue."

"I said these antiques are all to deceive those island people. As long as we sell goods honestly, we can make money safely. Later, we were indeed given very generous rewards. When I was a child, I was really scared of poverty. When I got so much money I thought it was okay to just sell some fake stuff to deceive foreigners. I thought about helping these officials and going back after making a little money. Just when I was about to give the money back to my sister, I learned that A fellow villager was arrested, and after asking around, I found out that he was caught in the bank when he was sending money home because all the money was counterfeit."
