dead innocent

Yang Kaitai didn't know what happened, Chu Xingyun suddenly changed the established route, and once again drove his new car out of a courting posture.

The mobile phone in his pocket kept ringing along the way, Chu Xingyun stared at the congested road ahead, grinding his back molars with a look of impatience.When the phone rang for the third time, he took out the phone with one hand and pressed the speakerphone, then threw it on the driving platform.

The first sentence Chen Zhiyang opened his mouth almost made him unable to stop the car and rear-end a car in front of him.

"That car belongs to Zhou Shiyang!"

"Which car?"

Although he asked this question, he had already guessed which case Chen Zhiyang was talking about.

Sure enough, Chen Zhiyang said: "We have checked almost all the blue sharp roads in the city. It is the car that picked up Fang Yu, and the owner is Zhou Shiyang!"

"Without a license plate number, how can you be sure?"

"This car has not been on the market for a long time. We have checked all the owners. Only Zhou Shiyang's car appeared near Baifu Grand View Garden on September [-]st. And we found the owner of the supermarket opposite Baifu Grand View Garden. The boss had seen the car before. Waited on the side of the road for about ten minutes, and left after picking up a girl. According to his description, the driver was a young man, and there was no one else except Zhou Shiyang!"

Chu Xingyun was inexplicably annoyed, Zhou Shiyang's face, Fang Yu's face printed on the white paper, and Zhou Quliang's stoic and sad face quickly flashed across his eyes...

Unexpectedly, Zhou Shiyang would have a relationship with Fang Yu, and he was the suspect involved in Fang Yu's disappearance.

Chen Zhiyang added: "Fang Yu and Zhou Shiyang should have known each other for a long time. We also checked the mobile phone you brought back. Fang Yu basically stored all the information in the memory card, and only stored Zhou Shiyang's mobile phone number in the mobile phone. The two of them The relationship between them is definitely not simple.”

Even if Zhou Shiyang is really related to Fang Yu's disappearance, but now that Zhou Shiyang is dead, the clue of Zhou Shiyang has been broken, but——Chu Xingyun soon realized that the lead of Zhou Shiyang's murder may surface.

Fang Yu's disappearance involved the dead Zhou Shiyang, so is Zhou Shiyang's death related to Fang Yu's disappearance?

"Have you found Zhou Shiyang's Dongfeng Ruitu?"

Chen Zhiyang said: "On the way to Zhou Shiyang's house."

There were too many noises in Chu Xingyun's mind, so he had to temporarily park the car on the side of the road, staring at the crowds and traffic in front of him with a sinking face, and said in a deep voice: "We must find that car, and take September [-] No. All Zhou Shiyang's whereabouts have been retrieved, if he really took Fang Yu away and caused Fang Yu's disappearance, then I have reason to suspect that his death came from revenge or silence."

"What's the matter? Isn't Qin Xiao the murderer?"

Chen Zhiyang asked.

Chu Xingyun pinched his brows irritably: "There is not enough evidence. In short, we have to mix together now. You should check Zhou Shiyang first, and investigate all his social relations from the bottom up. Fang Yu's social relations cannot be let go. , since Fang Yu and Zhou Shiyang know each other, they must have common acquaintances or friends."

Chen Zhiyang was silent for a moment, and asked, "Do you think Fang Yu is still alive?"

Chu Xingyun shot cold stars in his eyes, looking at the traffic crowd in front of him with the sound of sirens under the warm sunshine, there was a moment of wandering and trance in his eyes, and he spit out a sentence: "It's too bad, it's not good."

Missed for more than ten days, and did not receive a blackmail call, which shows that the other party's plan is not for money, but for life.Even if Fang Yu could be found, he would probably be a corpse.

On the way to the Ark Building again, Chu Xingyun used his dual-purpose skills to the extreme, focusing on the scene of Zhou Shiyang's death while also taking care of the traffic lights along the way.So much so that he forgot the purpose of this trip, until he parked the car in the open-air parking lot of the Ark Building, he suddenly remembered, yes, for He Cheng.

"team leader."

Yang Kaitai stood beside the car and suddenly called out to him.

Chu Xingyun was in a hurry, frowning and looking back at him.

"I'm not going up."

Yang Kaitai paused, and said: "I'll help Captain Chen find Zhou Shiyang's car."

His expression was resolute and decisive, and there was no doubt and uneasiness in his eyes. It seemed that he had found Zhou Shiyang's car and evidence that Zhou Shiyang had nothing to do with the crime.

The stubbornness in his eyes and the emotional bias he showed were too obvious, so obvious that Chu Xingyun felt that if he participated in the investigation of Zhou Shiyang's case with this mentality, it would definitely cause disaster.

Chu Xingyun walked up to him and pinched his shoulders, looked into his eyes solemnly and said: "Put aside your personal relationship with Zhou Shiyang, you are a policeman, and now you are investigating the case. Apart from finding out the truth, other Nothing can be done, understand?"

Yang Kaitai's eyebrows and eyes were supported to the extreme by the compelling aura he exuded from his whole body, showing that he was so focused and devoted to a case for the first time since he was a police officer.Because of the unshakable persistence hidden in the overly dark eyes, there is a bit of murderous intent.Since Qin Xiao was released on bail, he has shown the perseverance and will to move forward like a dead man.It seems that he knows who the murderer is, and the target is clear. At this time, the desire for revenge in his eyes is so obvious that he does not look like a criminal policeman, but more like a general who is always ready to charge and conquer the city. soldiers.

A criminal police officer doesn't really need much hatred for crime or murderer.They need to maintain a fair and calm state of mind at all times, keep a distance from any blood and death, and remember that they are just a bystander, not a participant in a crime.

But Yang Kaitai, seems to have been involved.

"Don't worry, captain."

Yang Kaitai's gaze loosened slightly, but he quickly regained his persistence and said to Chu Xingyun, "I know what I should do."

Watching Yang Kaitai leave by taxi, Chu Xingyun turned and walked into the Ark Building.

Several people surrounded the president's office, besides Xiao Shu and He Yunshu, there were two department executives.

Seeing him coming out of the elevator, Xiao Shu hurriedly stepped forward to meet him.

"what happened?"

Chu Xingyun walked towards the president's office with the door closed.

"About half an hour ago, sir received an anonymous package."

Chu Xingyun tried to push the door and found that the office door was locked from the inside.

"What package?"

he asked while turning the doorknob.

Xiao Shudao: "A white bear, there is nothing wrong with it, but after seeing that white bear, sir, he was very—"

While talking, Xiao Shu stopped.

Chu Xingyun looked back at him, anxiously said: "Say?"

Deep worry and uneasiness appeared on Xiao Shu's face, and he said, "He seems to have been frightened."

Chu Xingyun was stunned for a moment, and an inexplicable palpitation climbed up his back, which made him flustered for a moment, and then he clenched his fist and hammered on the door panel: "He Cheng?! Open the door!"

At this time, He Yunshu hurried into the secretary's room, returned after a while with a key, and handed it to Chu Xingyun: "This is the key to the office."

Chu Xingyun opened the door of the office and saw the back of the man sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

He Cheng sat on the single sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, with his back to the door, his quiet and dead eyes staring at the bright sun outside the window, the sky, and the creatures wandering in the world.

Those people, those puppets surrounded by steel and concrete high-rise buildings, they are irrelevant individuals, but they have established a ridiculous and huge social system.They use blood to establish relationships, use emotions to connect others, and use life and death to distinguish spirit from flesh.

They were born in this world, grew up in this world, and will die in this world later.This world can give them nothing but unsatisfied desires and pain that will eventually sink into it.But they are desperately trying to get in touch with this world, trying in vain to let the world remember them. All they do is to delay their own death and save their own loneliness. This is such a humble and low-level wish.But even with such a humble and low-level wish, how many people can achieve it, and are they really loved?Does anyone care?If tomorrow is the end of the world, would anyone be willing to hug them and go to hell together?

No, absolutely not.

If not, then why are they struggling?Why work hard?Since it is so painful and lonely, then simply, go to die——

He Cheng looked at the crowd on the ground with an indifferent and contemptuous look on his face, his cold eyes were like a ghost.

That ghostly figure shuttles, wanders, and lingers all day long among the tall buildings, in the besieged city, in the city where kindness and warmth are being destroyed day by day, and darkness and evil will eventually take root.If human society is a vast ocean, then this kind of ghost is the essence of cruising in the abyss, wandering for thousands of years, and never changing.Moaning and kissing on the calm and dirty sea, like a ghost roaring.

For a moment, He Cheng felt a sense of weightlessness from within his body, as if the entire Ark Building collapsed with his soul, falling on the crowd of people who were born and died——

The sound of the door opening and closing behind him did not attract his attention, and his soul wandered in the abyss, rushing and rushing, unable to find the exit.

Chu Xingyun closed the door, walked towards him quickly, squatted in front of him, and suddenly grabbed his right hand resting on the armrest of the sofa, his fingers hanging down weakly, pointing to the center of the earth, on the verge of death.

Touching his body temperature, Chu Xingyun realized that his whole body was as cold as ice.

He went to touch He Cheng's face, and found that He Cheng's eyes didn't fall on him at all, but passed through his body, through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, and even through Yinjiang City, and he didn't know where he followed his thoughts.

"He Cheng? Can you see me? He Cheng?!"

Chu Xingyun suddenly grasped the back of He Cheng's neck forcefully, perhaps the force was too great and hurt He Cheng, which made his distracted eyes come back from the sky, as if taking back a kite that had been let fly.

Just now, Chu Xingyun really thought he had left.Although He Cheng was sitting on this single sofa at this moment, an invisible barrier blocked them, separating them in different spaces.He Cheng was in the dark, and he was in the light, but He Cheng, who was in the dark, was sitting in the sunlight, and the sunlight almost melted him.

The frozen color in He Cheng's eyes gradually warmed up, and his eyes showed exhaustion and bewilderment. It seemed that his soul had traveled through the abyss, the hidden reefs of the strait, and exhaustedly returned to the starting point of breaking away from reality and falling into an illusion.

"Brother Xingyun—"

His voice was too low, too soft, his tone trembling and weak, as if he was tempted and unbelievable, Chu Xingyun even saw in his eyes the creatures that were longer than the dark night struggling for a long time before he was able to tear through the darkness and see the light of the sky Surprised and moved.

Chu Xingyun suddenly stood up, put He Cheng in his arms, and hugged him tightly.

"it's me."

He Cheng raised his arms and hugged his waist tightly, like a drowning person hugging the only driftwood floating on the sea.

"what happened to you?"

Chu Xingyun gently touched the back of his neck with his hand and asked in a low voice.

He Cheng said: "I saw something that disappeared for a long time"

"what?"

He Cheng let go of him, bent down to pick up the white bear from the floor, his cold and pale fingertips were almost the same color tone as the lifeless plush toy.

Chu Xingyun took the white bear from his hand, looked back and forth, and found nothing special, except that the white bear's hands and feet were tied with ropes.

"This is the courier you received? Who sent it?"

he asked.

He Cheng took off his glasses, revealing the faintly red eye sockets, closed his eyes and rubbed the center of his brows, and said wearily, "That person."

Although He Cheng's pointing was unclear, Chu Xingyun almost immediately understood who He Cheng was referring to as 'that person'.

During these few seconds of being stunned, he seemed to have suffered several catastrophes, the blood on his face faded, his body temperature lost, and the inexplicable anger burned in his brain like a raging fire.

"Impossible, that bastard is already dead!"

Mentioning the kidnapping 13 years ago and that demon was torture for them, a past they desperately wanted to forget.

Like comforting He Cheng, more like convincing himself, Chu Xingyun bent down and grabbed He Cheng's shoulder, looked at him with red eyes, his teeth chattered uncontrollably, tried to calm down and said: "Listen, He Cheng , he is dead, he died 13 years ago, have you forgotten? He Ying went to the scene when he was executed, if you are worried, we will call He Ying, and we will ask him for confirmation—”

As he said that, he took out his mobile phone to find He Ying's number, but his hands were shaking all the time, and he almost couldn't hold the phone steadily.

Compared with him, He Cheng was much calmer. Perhaps the shock and fear had dissipated, so he stopped Chu Xingyun from calling He Ying, grabbed his wrist and looked into his eyes, with a deep and calm tone, said : "It's him, he's back, come back to me. Do you know what this white bear represents? It's me."

He Cheng didn't say the rest, because he could see that Chu Xingyun was on the verge of extreme anger and collapse.

After 13 years, the shadow of a comeback and the rising tide of anger and guilt weighed on his heart, making him lose all his strength and courage. If He Cheng said one more word, he would fall into madness.

Chu Xingyun returned to that year's New Year's Eve, and became a teenager who faced a cruel choice between two choices.

Not only He Cheng, but he was also forced into a desperate situation, and even his desperate situation was more irreversible than He Cheng's, and there was no turning back.

He picked up the white bear whose hands and feet were tied up and slammed it against the office door. With red eyes, he turned around in a circle anxiously, like a wild animal trapped in a cage with no way out, boiling all over his body. He was full of anger and murderous intent, but he couldn't find the enemy, so he could only rage at himself in a daze and frustration.

Suddenly, he grabbed He Cheng's shoulder again, and his bewitching pupils that were as red as blood were firmly nailed into He Cheng's eyes, and his fingers seemed to penetrate his shoulder bones, suppressing the strong anger , almost gritted his teeth and said: "You have come back, no one can take you away again, no one can!"

Now recalling the catastrophe, He Cheng would not vent his anger on him at all, he just didn't tell Chu Xingyun that he had already forgiven him.Because the love for him is deeper, the grievance and hatred are simply insignificant and not worth mentioning.

He Cheng smiled slowly, and asked, "Will you protect me?"

Chu Xingyun suddenly saw the shadow of the little He Cheng on his face, the innocent and bright He Cheng who believed in him without reservation and relied on him.

"I can."

Chu Xingyun looked into his eyes, and solemnly said word by word like an oath: "I promise you with my life, He Cheng, I will protect you. No matter what method is used or what price is paid, from now on I will absolutely I will never leave you again, please believe me."

The phosphorescence burning in the dark night flashed in He Cheng's eyes, a very innocent and simple smile appeared on his face, and he asked softly, "So, you love me?"

Chu Xingyun's throat choked, and a layer of violently trembling water appeared in his eyes as if they were smoked. He stroked his face and said, "Yes, I love you very much."

He Cheng raised his hand to press the palm on the side of his face, closed his eyes, sighed lowly, and said, "Me too, I love you very much."

Since you love me, you can still miss me in this world.
