dead innocent

Having not seen him for more than ten years, when He Cheng saw this person again, he didn't feel strange at all, just like when he met him for the first time when he was a child, he couldn't help feeling a sense of familiarity.He Cheng stared intently at his face illuminated by the light, calmly as if looking at himself in the mirror.

It was only today that He Cheng finally understood where the familiarity with him came from, and why it was always so easy to trust him.In the past, they were ignorant and obstinate when they were young, and they couldn't think clearly, but now they are all grown up.Only then did He Cheng realize that he never regarded He Qing as a 'person' with flesh and blood, with his own body and soul.He has always regarded He Qing as a shadow born from himself.Even if He Qing is standing in front of him now, he still doesn't treat him as a living person, as if standing in front of him is a ghost, a ghost who has been pranking since childhood.

He suddenly had an intuition that he regarded He Qing as a shadow, presumably He Qing also regarded him as a shadow.The two of them are like two souls separated from one body, and one of them is always wandering and wandering.They are completely different, but they are in step with each other, and they all regard each other as the one who was exiled.

Now that things have happened, He Cheng has to admit that he and his soul are similar, always repelling each other and attracting each other, that is the familiarity and intimacy that only exists between blood relatives.It was as if they had never been separated, and had always been firmly locked by the same strong bond, with him at one end and He Qing at the other end.This bond may have existed since they were conceived together in the mother's womb, making the connection between them far different from ordinary people, close and intimate.

So He Cheng didn't reject or resist him, but just hated him.

"So, you blew up the State Guest Building."

"Actually, I was just looking for an opportunity to pass on a token to you. Our damn elder brother did a stupid thing. He actually made you forget me. I miss you so much, how can you forget me?"

Although He Qing put on a smiling face on purpose, He Cheng could tell that there was undisguised indifference and hatred in his eyes.

I used to be too young, when this person smiled at him, he just smiled back. He never seriously considered why He Qing always smiled at him so weirdly, like a hypocritical and indifferent smile that wanted to chew him up .

He Qing hated him, although he still didn't know the reason, but they could always see through each other, so He Cheng could clearly sense that He Qing hated him.

Coincidentally, he hated him too.So He Cheng didn't even want to say a word of unnecessary nonsense to him, he just laughed lazily and said, "Do you want me to think of you, or Min Xiaozhou?"

He Qing's dark and deep eyes suddenly sparkled, and he said with a smile, "Min Xiaozhou is such a beautiful memory, how can you forget it?"

"...It's your memory, not mine."

"Did you forget? You pushed him into the water with your own hands."

As he said that, He Qing's face suddenly changed color, and he said with a gloomy face, "You pushed him into the water, but they only punished me. They made up lies about my death, erased my files, and sent me to Abroad. Tell me, isn’t it unfair?”

He Cheng closed his eyes, pinched the center of his brows impatiently, and said, "I'm not interested in your life these years, I just want to know why you came back."

He Qing laughed again, and said loudly: "The He family is sorry for me, I want to destroy them all."

He Cheng was silent, slowly raised his eyes to look at him for a moment, and said with a slight smile, "Really? Then please go ahead."

After speaking, he turned around and squatted in front of the driver's car door again, glanced at the pale man who was stuck in the seat, and his breathing was weakening, then stretched his hand to the other end of the seat and twisted the stuck adjustment button, saying: "If you're not in a hurry to destroy the He family right now, come and help."

He Cheng stretched his hand from behind the man's waist, and along the seat belt on his waist, he quietly touched the gun holster tied around his waist. The man knew what he wanted to do, so he rolled his eyes to look at him with difficulty, and kept Silence cooperates with him.

The seat belt is too tight, and it becomes difficult to move a hand when it is inserted.He Cheng secretly groped for his holster, his wrist felt like a layer of skin had been taken away. At the same time, he heard He Qing walking behind him slowly, saying: "You think I can't do it?" arrive?"

He Cheng gently opened the holster with his fingertips, and finally hooked his fingers to the barrel of the gun. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said calmly, "You can do whatever you want, I don't care."

He Qing also squatted down behind him, and said with a smile: "The He family gave you wealth and status, how can you not care?"

He Cheng sneered: "Do you want it? Give it to you."

Finally turning the cold barrel of the gun around, He Cheng was holding the gun, and was about to release the safety, when a gun hit the back of his head.

He Qing held the gun against the back of his head, sighed helplessly, and lazily said, "Take out the gun and throw it on the ground."

He Cheng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and threw the gun into the rocks as he said.

He Qing searched the pockets of his shirt and suit pants, but found no other weapons, then removed the muzzle of the gun from the back of his head, and said with a sneer, "You're still so good at guessing, my dear brother."

As he said that, he took a step forward and squatted down beside He Cheng, raised his arms around his shoulders, and squeezed together in front of the car door with him, the muzzle of the gun with the suppressor in his hand was shaking casually, looking at the gun that was stuck between the seat and the driver's platform. The man who was still struggling and writhing curled his lips in a distasteful manner, and said, "You want to save him?"

"...Could it be that I just watched him die?"

"Why not? Look at him, he's covered in rotten flesh, what's the difference from a wriggling worm? You still want to save a worm?"

He Cheng suddenly turned his head to look directly at him, pursed the corners of his lips a few times as if trying to suppress his emotions, and said in a low and angry voice, "He Qing, you are a lunatic."

He Qing flicked the holster on his fingers childishly, tilted his head and looked at him with a bright smile: "It is because I am a lunatic that you accept me. Admit it, everyone avoided me back then." , only you get close to me, because you find that I am the same as you, or the same as the He Cheng in your heart. We are the same kind of people, otherwise you would not push Min Xiaozhou into the water. "

He Cheng also smiled: "Don't mention Min Xiaozhou again, he was killed by you, not me. At that time I was killed by you—"

"Controlled by me?"

He Qing laughed, put his arms around his shoulders and shook vigorously: "Don't be stupid, if your subconscious wants to resist, how can I control you? It's just that if you want to do that, just do it."

He Cheng suddenly snatched the gun from his hand, strangled him by the neck and pushed him against the door frame. The muzzle of the gun pressed against his chin and forced him to raise his head. There was incomparable hatred in his eyes, and he said ruthlessly: "Let me tell you, He Qing, it doesn't matter what you are to me, and it doesn't matter who I am. I'm no longer the stupid kid who was easily controlled by you back then, so don't lie to me again!"

As he said that, he suddenly leaned towards He Qing, with a sly smile on his lips, "Or, I can avenge Min Xiaozhou now, and then I'll be free."

He Qing was tightly strangled by his neck, his face turned red quickly, looked at him and smiled, and made a hoarse voice from his throat with difficulty: "Brother, you look exactly like me now."

He Cheng looked at him, his face gradually condensed into ice, only the murderous look in his eyes became more and more violent, and the corners of his eyes gradually became blood red.Then, he shifted the muzzle of the gun to He Qing's temple, and pulled the trigger without hesitation...

The moment he pulled the trigger, He Cheng seemed to be awakened suddenly from the illusion, his eyes were wide open, his face was dazed, and the shirt behind his back was instantly soaked in cold sweat.

There was no gunshot, but instead he heard He Qing's weird laughter.

"There are no bullets in the gun!"

He Qing howled suddenly, then bent his elbow and slammed it hard on He Cheng's chest.

He Cheng seemed to be hit by a boulder, lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground, and then saw He Qing pick up the gun, load the clip, and squat down beside him on one knee.

He Qing put the muzzle of the gun against his forehead, raised his lips and smiled, and said, "Now there is."

The sharp rocks on the ground almost pierced the flesh, He Cheng supported the ground with his hands and slowly sat up, buried his head and gasped for a few breaths, and said angrily and helplessly, "What exactly do you want to do?"

He Qing glanced at the watch on his wrist, and with a sudden force on his hand, the muzzle of the gun pressed his forehead back a few centimeters, and said with a smile: "I have a lot of things I want to do, why don't you give me the USB drive first, I will I'll tell you slowly."

"...U disk?"

"I heard you talking to that policeman in the car, you go to his house to get the USB drive. Where is the USB drive?"

Looking into his dark eyes, He Cheng shook his head and smiled as if he had suddenly figured out something.Ignoring the muzzle of the gun on his head, he bent one leg and adjusted a comfortable sitting position, and said, "Didn't you go find it yourself?"

"I didn't look for it. I just burned the house down and waited for you to go in and look for it."

"Sorry, I didn't find it either. The fire you set was too big to find it in time."

He Qing looked at him silently, then suddenly removed the muzzle of the gun from his forehead, and casually fired at the man trapped in the driver's seat.

"what!"

The shot hit the thigh artery, and the blood flowed continuously. The man's scream was more horrific than the sound of the gunshot.

As if he didn't hear the man's howl, He Qing pressed his forehead again, shrugged innocently: "If you don't give it to me, then I will have to shoot him next time." Saying that, he Smiling, he tapped He Cheng's forehead with the muzzle of the gun in his hand.

He Cheng glanced at the struggling and screaming man, looked at him calmly and said, "I don't have it on me, you can search it."

He Qing twitched his lips impatiently: "You were dizzy when you came out of that policeman's house. If it wasn't on you, where would it be?"

He Cheng couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, thankfully he didn't notice Song Linlin.

"What do you want that USB flash drive for? What's in it that you need? Tell me, maybe I can help you."

He Qing sneered: "Can you help me deal with the bad old men of the He family?"

"What's wrong? They didn't treat me very kindly. They didn't allow me to be involved in politics. They only let me manage a broken company that didn't make much money. I'm still working for them. My life is not what you think. so good."

He Qing frowned suddenly, pulled back a few centimeters of the gun, and then glanced at the dark and deserted highway: "Are you delaying time?"

He Cheng nodded, and generously admitted: "Yes."

As soon as the words fell, there was a faint, intermittent siren sound from a corner of the night.

He Cheng tilted his head slightly and listened to the sirens that were getting closer and clearer. He turned his head and smiled and said, "Maybe you are smart enough to calculate that He Ying will send me out of the city, but there are people smarter than you."

He Qing suddenly grabbed his collar and sneered: "Then you can go with me."

He Cheng smiled calmly: "Unless you shoot me to death, I can't go with you. Moreover, if you take me away, those policemen will follow you until they catch you. Hurry up Make a choice, they're getting closer."

In just a few words, the lights of the cars got closer and closer in the dark night, and the sound of the police siren seemed to be so close at hand.

"You think I won't kill you?"

"If your purpose is to kill me, you can just choose a place to shoot secretly, why wait until now?"

He Qing looked at him deeply for a moment, then suddenly smiled, and said: "My brother, your smart face is still so annoying, I really can't understand you more and more. But you are right, I will not kill you now , I want you to do something more interesting."

With that said, he stood up, raised two fingers and gave a suave military salute on his forehead, blinked at He Cheng, and said, "Goodbye."

He Qing ran towards the car parked on the side of the road, looked at the police car a few hundred meters away, turned around and waved to He Cheng, and got into the car.

He Cheng watched the car pierce the night like a sharp arrow on the road and rapidly drove into a deeper darkness until it was completely submerged in the darkness.

Soon, two police cars stopped next to the broken fence one after the other. Several men got off from the front car. The broken car that went down the slope ran down.

He Cheng watched the man lead a few people approaching quickly, reached out to block the light shining on his face, and then heard the man ask him: "Are you He Cheng?"

He Cheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the face of the man standing outside the aperture through his fingers: "Are you from Chu Xingyun?"

Chen Zhiyang removed the flashlight and said, "It's not his person, it's his friend."

He Cheng pointed to the broken car that was still standing upside down, and said, "There are still two people."

Chen Zhiyang asked someone to saw off the steering wheel, and quickly dragged the man stuck in the car out, and carried the man who was lying on the ground and still asleep to the car, and finally walked to He Cheng's side, and with the help of the flashlight from the corner of his eye, he He looked at it twice before asking, "The car that drove away just now is not a drug dealer, is it?"

He Cheng walked towards the police car parked by the side of the road, and said flatly, "No."

Chen Zhiyang scolded me, and said: "I know that Chu Xingyun used me as a gunman and chased me for more than two hours in vain."

More than two hours, that is to say, less than half an hour after he was taken away by He Ying's people, Chu Xingyun tricked him into hijacking the car.No wonder it came so timely, so fast.

He Cheng's face loosened slightly, and a very faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he said, "It's not in vain." He pointed to the direction where He Qing disappeared: "That person is the one who bombed the Guobin Building."

Chen Zhiyang was taken aback, and quickly used the walkie-talkie to instruct his subordinates who were chasing the car.

A police car loaded with five big men and two wounded patients was unprecedentedly crowded.Several police officers in the back seat wished they could lie on the ground and fold them up.Chen Zhiyang took care of the second young master of the He family, gave up the precious co-pilot seat to He Cheng, and then drove to the city.

In the car, Chen Zhiyang couldn't help but called Chu Xingyun and scolded him: "Where is the drug dealer you let me rob? Your family's second... He Cheng is a drug dealer? You bum with a mouth full of sores!"

He Cheng was facing the night wind outside the window and looking out the window thoughtfully, when he heard sporadic voices from his mobile phone, he turned his head and glanced at him, but didn't say anything.

Chen Zhiyang was furious, ignored his request to talk to He Cheng, cursed a few more words and then cut off the phone.Throwing the phone away, there was another complaint: "Toss around all night."

There were a lot of people in the car, and several buddies in the back seat were sitting one on top of the other, constantly urging Chen Zhiyang to hurry up, saying that his lungs would be squeezed out soon.

Chen Zhiyang drove the car like an arrow, rushing out of the night at the same time as dawn.

The sky gradually became brighter, and the night had faded several layers, leaving only a thin layer of gloom in the sky.

He Cheng propped his forehead and gradually fell asleep, but the sleep was very shallow. He clearly noticed that the car stopped suddenly, and then heard Chen Zhiyang say: "Go down and take Captain Chu's car."

He Cheng opened his eyes, and saw a police car without lights parked on the opposite side of the road, Chu Xingyun got out of the car and slammed the door, put his hands on the holster tied around his waist, and strode towards this direction come.

Everyone in the car got out of the car, and Chen Zhiyang also got out of the car. He stood by the front of the car and pointed at Chu Xingyun angrily, about to speak. He suddenly caught a glimpse of He Cheng getting off the car, and walked straight towards Chu Xingyun. .

Chu Xingyun stopped in the middle of the empty road, looked at He Cheng, and opened his arms slightly.

He Cheng hugged him violently, as if he wanted to rub him into his body.

"I saw him."

He clearly noticed that He Cheng's heartbeat was disordered, his breath trembled, and his body temperature was frighteningly cold.

Chu Xingyun held his waist, gently stroked the back of his neck, and asked in a low voice: "What did he tell you?"

He Cheng shook his head, hugged him tighter, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "He is the shadow that escaped from my body, next time, next time I will kill him with my own hands!"

Chu Xingyun's heart sank, he suddenly pushed him away, put his hands on his shoulders, looked into his eyes and said, "He Cheng, look at me."

The madness and confusion that was on the verge of losing control appeared in He Cheng's eyes again, his fists were clenched tightly, and his chest heaved violently.It took a long time for the scattered and messy eyes to condense on Chu Xingyun's face, and a layer of blood red gushed out of the corners of his eyes.

Chu Xingyun grabbed his shoulder hard, forcing him to focus on himself, looked into his eyes, and said solemnly: "You are not him, he is not you, and he is not something that ran out of your body Something. You are He Cheng, you are completely different from him, but if you kill him, you are no different from him, you know?"

The red blood in the corner of He Cheng's eyes quickly filled the entire eye socket, and his angry body was trembling: "He used me to kill Min Xiaozhou, he deserves to die!"

Chu Xingyun suppressed his shoulders with all his strength, as if if he relaxed a little, He Cheng would transform into some terrifying devil.

"Yes, he deserves to die. Are you going to kill him? There are so many damn people in the world, do you want to kill them all? Can you kill them?!"

"I don't care about others, I just want to kill him! Otherwise, he will use me to do something I don't want to do at all, I must kill him!"

Chu Xingyun suddenly hugged his neck tightly and forced him to lower his head, almost touching his forehead, took a deep breath, and said, "Then let me ask you, do you want to be with me?"

He Cheng's eyes trembled, and he regained his composure: "Think."

"How long have you been together?"

"forever."

Chu Xingyun gave a low laugh, loosened his hands a little, rubbed his hair roots with his fingers, and said: "Since you want to be with me, you can't kill people. I'm a policeman, and I can't be with a murderer In the rest of my life, if you kill someone, all I can do is send you to prison."

She raised her eyes to look at him and asked softly, "Do you understand?"

He Cheng closed his eyes, as if he was trying to suppress something, and after a long time he said: "I——understand."

"So you promised me? Don't kill people."

"...Well, I promise you."

Chu Xingyun breathed a sigh of relief, took him into his arms and hugged him again, and then said to him: "You get in the car first."

Chen Zhiyang and a few police officers in the Dongcheng District looked stupid for a long time. Seeing Chu Xingyun leaving He Cheng and walking towards him, Chen Zhiyang immediately turned around and slammed forward like a duck, saying: "There are all, turn back !"

Chu Xingyun walked behind him, looked at the back of his head, and smiled: "The play is over, let's enjoy the role."

Chen Zhiyang turned around, smiled and said: "If I had known that you two had such a relationship, I would have driven a special car to pick up your second young master."

"Let's not talk about this first." Chu Xingyun said: "Where is the person I let you rob?"

Chen Zhiyang raised his hand and pointed around the open and boundless road behind him: "I'm running away, I'm chasing." Then he asked, "Who the hell is it? You fucking told me he was a drug dealer."

Chu Xingyun glanced sullenly at the end of the road covered with a layer of autumn frost mist in the distance, and said coldly: "I am not qualified to chew the root of this tongue, you may go back and ask Chief He, maybe you will know."

"No, I'll wait for you to tell me."

Chu Xingyun dragged him to the front of the car, avoided the police officers who were watching them, leaned on the front of the car with his arms folded, and said seriously: "I talked to He Ying, and now he allows me to participate in the investigation of the shooting case and bombing. I have a USB flash drive, I will give it to you later, you can take it back and study it carefully, but He Cheng must follow up with you at the same time, he knows more. There is also a clue about the shooting case, I told Qiao Shishi, go back and ask her to explain it to you in detail. If you have done a good job, these two cases will be closed." As he spoke, he changed the subject and smiled: "But I didn't provide you with these clues for nothing, you I have no objection to letting Qiao Shishi participate in the investigation, or letting her lead the team."

Chen Zhiyang narrowed his eyes and glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, with a look of vigilance and suspicion: "How do you know so much? Is it a USB flash drive and a clue?"

Chu Xingyun smiled lazily: "If you don't need it, I will take it back for internal digestion."

Chen Zhiyang thought about it for a while, thinking that he was a quiet and capable person, so he compromised: "Okay, we will do as you said, what about things?"

"What's the rush, I'll give it to you later."

After finishing speaking, Chu Xingyun lifted his feet to leave, and suddenly saw a few police officers getting into the car, crowded in the car, and said with a tusk: "You fucking brought a circus? Come down and sit in my car with two people .”

Chu Xingyun took a few police officers into the police car he drove over, turned around on the spot, and drove back to the city.

He Cheng was once again forcefully pulled back from the brink of losing control by him, and now he is calm. Sitting in the co-pilot, he tore a pack of wet tissues and wiped his hands covered with dust and dirt carefully, but he was too hard, the back of his hand and ten fingers were all numb. Reddened by his rubbing.

Chu Xingyun glanced at him while driving the car, holding the steering wheel with one hand, freed one hand to remove the wet tissue that had been rubbed by him, and then held his cold and wet fingers in his hand, saying: "Later, you go with Chen Zhiyang and help him identify the clues in the USB flash drive."

He Cheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, his whole body instantly relaxed, leaned back in the chair, and said in a tired voice, "Did Song Linlin leave it to you?"

"Well, on me."

He Cheng turned his head and glanced at the police car following them through the rearview mirror, and said calmly, "Has He Ying told you everything about us?"

Chu Xingyun glanced at him, squeezed his hand tighter, and didn't speak.

He Cheng was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "It's very strange, he is also looking for a USB flash drive."

Chu Xingyun knew who the 'he' he was talking about, thought for a while, and said: "The U disk is left by Jiang Zhaonan. No one knows the contents of the U disk except you and me. We only mentioned Zou Yuheng. He What are you doing with a USB flash drive that you don’t know the contents of?”

He Cheng was very clear, and said: "He really doesn't know what's in the USB flash drive, but he knows that the USB flash drive involves Zou Yuheng."

Chu Xingyun quickly understood what he meant: "Do you think he has something to do with Zou Yuheng?"

He Cheng turned to look at him, and said, "There is no other explanation."

Chu Xingyun suddenly let go of his hand and pressed it on the steering wheel. He was silent for a while with a dark face, and said with a sneer: "Look at the group of people around you!"

After getting off the highway, it was already daylight, and the awakened city was as busy as the previous morning.Following Chen Zhiyang's car all the way to the Dongcheng branch, Chu Xingyun parked the car at the gate of the police station, and when he got off the car, he saw He Ying standing at the gate, waiting for a long time.

He Cheng got out of the car, and He Ying swept him over, and saw that he was a complete person except for the slightly messy shirt on his body.

The secret that had been covered up for many years was revealed, and they suddenly had a lot of things in their hearts, so the eyes they looked at each other couldn't help but feel a little heavy and complicated.

He Ying raised his finger and pointed at Chu Xingyun, and said with a smile to He Cheng, "We have formed an alliance."

Chu Xingyun held He Cheng's hand and took him two steps forward, stopped in front of He Ying, and said: "The alliance is concluded, but the Liangzi is also concluded." He said with a dull smile : "Fortunately, He Cheng has been found, otherwise your old He family would have to figure out how to compensate me for another young master."

Although this sentence stunned He Ying, He Cheng was not very comfortable listening to it. He frowned and turned to look at him, and asked, "If you can't find it, I will compensate you again? Then what should I do?"

Chu Xingyun lost all energy, and smiled dryly: "No, don't take it seriously, I'm joking with your brother."

Seeing the sudden reversal of the wind direction, He Ying rubbed his chin and smiled badly in line with the beautiful vision of watching the excitement when he was in trouble, "Are you kidding me? Why do I feel threatened by you? Who else do you like in our family? Just say it."

The corner of Chu Xingyun's eyes twitched, and he gritted his teeth secretly.He knew that He Ying was shameless, but he never thought that He Ying was so shameless, and he didn't forget to push him into the pit at this juncture.Unwilling to be defeated by him, he stepped forward and put his hand on He Ying's shoulder, pretending to be intimate and smiling: "I have my eyes on you."

He Ying narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile not to be outdone: "Although I don't like men, but you--" You glanced at him with a meaningful look in your eyes: "I can think about it."

Although he knew they were talking nonsense, He Cheng still couldn't bear it, and hurriedly stepped forward to separate them, and said to Chu Xingyun, "Aren't you busy, why don't you leave?"

Chu Xingyun and He Ying exchanged unyielding eyes for a while, and then took another look at He Cheng before driving away.

When his car was gone, He Cheng turned his gaze back and placed it on He Ying who was standing next to him. Suddenly there was a lot of hostility in his eyes, and he said coldly, "Are you serious?"

He Yingshang was immersed in the secret joy of the narrow victory against Chu Xingyun, and when he heard He Cheng's question, he was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "It's fake, it's fake, don't take it seriously."

He Cheng looked at him suspiciously for a while with a cold expression on his face, then turned around and walked towards the gate of the police station, saying, "Go to business, the USB drive is on me."
