like a dog

Ten o'clock in the morning, TV station.

Zhang Qiong hurried into the news department, pointed to the desk with green plants under the window and asked, "Where is Old Zheng?"

Zhou Qian poked his head out from behind the computer and said, "Director? I just went to the city hall. What's the matter, Miss Zhang, is there something urgent?"

Zhou Gan has been in the news department for five or six years, and he is still a temporary worker, belonging to the bench level.Zhang Qiong entered the TV station almost like him, but he is already a new star in the special group, and he is so busy every day that he does not touch the ground.

"The next issue will be a special topic on juvenile delinquency. I'll ask your director to get some materials." The cell phone in Zhang Qiong's pocket rang, and she brushed her hair to answer the phone, "Hey, Xiao Wang... didn't bring a tripod? What's going on, Forget it, I'll find someone to bring it over..."

Zhang Qiong turned her eyes to Zhou Gan, Zhou Gan pointed to the computer screen, waved her hands repeatedly, and mouthed: "Catch the manuscript!" Said: "Hey, wait!"

The young man just came out of the bathroom, wiped his hands with a tissue, stopped and pointed at himself, "Me?"

"that……"

Zhang Qiong looked at his face and couldn't remember the name for a while.The two intern girls in the office always talked about this guy.They got together during their lunch break, talking and laughing while looking at the photos secretly taken on their mobile phones.

"Fu Rui." Fu Rui reminded with a smile.

Zhang Qiong nodded and said, "Oh, Xiaofu, take a tripod and send it to Beijie Park. Teacher Wang wants to use it, so send it there now."

"Okay." Fu Rui rubbed the tissue and threw it into the trash can, then walked towards the office at the end of the corridor.

Zhang Qiong turned around and went back to the office of the news department. Zhou Gan stood in front of Lao Zheng's desk, connected the hard drive and said, "I contacted the director, and he said that he had roughly picked out all the available materials and put them in a folder. That's it. Sister Zhang, can you take a look?"

Zhang Qiong pulled the swivel chair and sat down, roughly scanned the list, selected seven or eight copies and made a copy.The file was quite large. Taking advantage of the time to copy it, Zhang Qiong clicked on a few folders to take a look at it first, browsed through a press release and said, "This is what Lao Zheng did before he entered Taiwan, right?"

Zhou Gan also sat down on the side, and he leaned closer to the screen for a few glances and said: "Really, why did the director put this in? Can this work... However, this seems to be the first time the director ran the news by himself. Right. I told us a few years ago that we couldn’t even meet anyone we wanted to interview. Unconvicted criminals were not allowed to see anyone except lawyers. It took a lot of effort to get into the detention center The interview took less than 10 minutes."

Zhou Qian still had a fresh memory of Lao Zheng's description of drinking.It's not how attractive things are. In their line of work, they know all kinds of things in the world.It's just that when Lao Zheng talked about the past when he was a fledgling, he became emotional. He almost sighed after speaking a few words that day, and his words were full of regret.

That person was very young, still a junior high school student.Smells like an Omega, but was imprisoned in the Alpha prison, one can imagine the abuse.Skinny and skinny, with injuries everywhere he could see.He has a life on his back, and he is already over 14 years old. When the verdict comes down, he doesn't know how many years he will stay in such a dark place.

Old Zheng described him like this at that time, except that he can breathe, he is no different from a dead person.

"That person's mental condition was very poor, and the time was short, so he didn't ask any valuable content. In the end, the interview was not used, saying that the channel was not good enough, and it could not be broadcast. I also have the impression that the news is that underage murder, killing It was the teacher at my school." Zhou Gan gestured on his neck, "A pencil was stuck in the neck, and the pen was broken, and the whole room was full of blood. It is said that the carotid artery was pierced, and a large amount of the ceiling was splashed. "

Zhang Qiong was not interested in knowing more about the bloodshed of the murder scene, so he interrupted Zhou Qiandao: "In the end, how many years was the sentence?"

Zhou Qian shook his head.

"No sentence?" Zhang Qiong frowned, "Can this level of crime be exonerated?"

"He committed suicide before the verdict was issued." Zhou Gan sighed, "The director helped him find a lawyer afterwards, but the lawyer didn't get in touch with him, and there was news that he was gone. After two months in the detention center It was fine, but after seeing the director, he suddenly collapsed and committed suicide within a few days."

Zhou Gan shrugged his shoulders as he said, "If I were him, I would definitely die first. Since it's all a result, wouldn't it be a pain to live for two months before dying?"

"Zhou Gan, your thinking is very dangerous." Zhang Qiong gave him a white look.

"I'll just talk about it." Zhou Gan laughed and laughed.

Zhang Qiong closed the file, propped her chin and looked at the progress bar of file copying, and said, "Why don't I have any impression of this..."

"Sister Zhang, were you taking the college entrance examination at that time? I remember that it happened seven or eight years ago, what date was it in June..." Zhou Qian took the mouse and clicked to scan and backup Zheng Zhuo's notes. There was even a page with only the number eight written horizontally, "Oh, June [-]th, West Bridge No. [-] Middle School."

Zhang Qiong went on to read other materials.Zhou Gan got up and went to the desk to get a cup, and went out to soak in boiling water.

"Why are you still here?" Zhou Gan was taken aback by Fu Rui standing in the corridor as soon as Zhou Gan left the office.Zhou Gan looked back at the office, and said in a low voice, "Go over quickly, Teacher Wang will call to remind you later."

Fu Rui supported the tripod, and it took him a long time to cast his gaze on Zhou Gan's face.Zhou Gan was stunned by his stare. He and Fu Rui hadn't met face to face a few times, and the few times they passed by, he was also attracted to look back.People are never created equal, some people are ordinary, and some people are different.

Fu Rui belongs to the latter category.

Zhou Gan took the tripod in his hand and whispered, "Are you feeling unwell? Why don't you take a rest and I'll send it over."

"It's okay, thank you." Fu Rui smiled, but his face was pale, and his eyes were faintly bloodshot.He took the tripod back and headed for the elevator.

Fu Rui pressed the button and stood in front of the elevator quietly waiting for it to come down from the top floor.

Layer by layer, falling quickly.

……

"The domain of this function is from zero to positive infinity, so the graph of the second quadrant is not considered..."

Fu Rui pushed open the classroom door, Lin Xun explained the exercises of the last chapter to Zhong Yue, he glanced up at him, smiled and continued to calculate on the draft paper.

"Mr. Lin, can't you? The whole school is on vacation, and you even arrested him to make up lessons."

Fu Rui took Lin Xun's shoulders, and Zhong Yue sat opposite the desk. She was not tall, she was only 1.5 meters tall in the second year of junior high school, she was light in weight, and her movements were poor. Lin Xun noticed the injury and put a band-aid on him.

Because of a large birthmark on her face, Zhong Yue bowed her head in low self-esteem most of the time, and spoke very carefully.After chatting with Lin for a long time, I became more sunny and smiled more.

Fu Rui took the English class in Xiqiao No. 26 Middle School. Those in the class who could memorize all [-] letters in upper and lower case could count on one hand, not to mention the words and pronunciation.Fu Rui had a headache from teaching, and after a week or two, he started talking nonsense.A little bit of astronomy and geography, and a little bit of physical hygiene, but the effect is outstanding, and the three classes love him so much.

In the past few days of the college entrance examination, several teachers in the school have been transferred to Anchi Middle School to invigilate the exam, and the students are also on vacation.The whole school was empty, except for a teacher on duty, Liu Yun, who was left with Lin Xun.

"Mr. Jiang, I asked Lin Xun... Teacher, not Teacher Lin..." Zhong Yue hurriedly explained, her face flushed a little in a hurry.

"Don't pay attention to him, Mr. Jiang is joking with you," Lin Xun said to Zhong Yue with a smile, then turned cold and pushed Fu Rui out of the classroom, "Didn't you say to get the medicine yesterday? Why are you still there?" Honest people are being bullied here. Hurry up and take me to the hospital, I don’t care about you if you’re in heat at night.”

"Damn Lin Xun, you forget your righteousness when you see sex. Which one should you care about? Come on, let's figure it out, why do I want you to worry about it?" Fu Rui stood in the corridor outside the door, elbowing Lin Xun's chest hit.

Lin Xun grabbed Fu Rui's head and rubbed it, making his hair as messy as a bird's nest.

"Okay, if you want to figure it out, tell me what happened at the dinner party in the freshman literature and art department? With so many people, I was caught having sex after drinking, kissing and touching, so that the whole department thought we were two It's a couple. I've been single for four years in college, how do you calculate it, tell me?"

"Lin Xun, you are so narrow-minded, Chen Zhima rotten millet, and you can talk about it!" Fu Rui smoothed his hair with a stinky face, "This peach blossom depends on the timing. Your timing didn't come then, so it's blooming now. very good?"

Lin Xun subconsciously glanced at Zhong Yue who was looking down at the question in the classroom, then glared at Fu Rui and said, "What nonsense."

"Then what are you looking at?" Fu Rui approached Lin Xun with a smile.

Lin Xun pushed his face away and said, "Too young, I'm not yet an adult, and I'm not a beast."

"Didn't he say that he will come to you in the future, and he will be an adult by then." Fu Rui smiled and tilted his head in the direction of the classroom, "How about it, Teacher Lin Xun, do you want to wait for him? Waiting for someone Very hard."

"Speak as if you've been waiting for someone."

"Why, you don't have a peach blossom yourself, and you are not allowed to have one with me?" Fu Rui pinched Lin Xun's face with both hands, and his cheeks turned red, "The one that bloomed on me is the most dazzling flower in the world. One."

"Listen to you." Lin Xun covered his face and grinned, "You have someone you like, can you hold back and not talk about it every day?"

"Of course you have to say it if you like it, and you have to keep it in your heart when you love it." Fu Rui smiled and winked at Lin Xun. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was serious or joking.

"It's quite affectionate." Lin Xun laughed, "Who stole our teacher Jiang Wu's heart."

"Your Teacher Jiang Wu has a big heart, but no one wants it." Fu Rui patted his chest, took advantage of Lin Xun's unpreparedness, and suddenly rubbed his hair into a mess, smiled and said, " I'm gone, and I'll be back in the afternoon. There's a movie tonight, do you want to watch it? Let Xiao Zhongyue take two seats for us."

Lin Xun nodded in agreement, and added another sentence: "Don't tease Zhong Yue next time, he has a thin skin."

"Okay, I won't bully the person you like."

Fu Rui smiled and walked towards the stairs, but he failed to come back in the afternoon.It was already evening when he came out of the hospital.

On the way back, it was raining heavily, and he didn't hold an umbrella.

The sky was overcast, and Fu Rui walked back from the bus station to Xiqiao No. [-] Middle School. The school had classrooms and offices below the third floor, and the teachers' dormitory on the fourth floor. There were stairs on the east and west sides. He went upstairs from the east side.He is not used to the smell on his body, just being marked, and his senses have become more acute. The smell on his body entangled his lungs, making his breathing difficult.

Fu Rui sniffed the rainwater on his hands and the remnants of the kiss, the silence seemed to exhaust all his strength.Holding on to the banister of the stairs, he dragged his heavy steps to the fourth floor.It's raining, and the movies are probably gone. Lin Xun should be in the dormitory on the fourth floor. I don't know if he is asleep or awake.Luckily he's a Beta, so he doesn't notice it.Otherwise, if he asked him how to go out, he would be marked, and how should he explain it.

He hadn't even thought of an excuse yet.

Fu Rui smiled wryly and shook his head.When he reached the third floor, he smelled blood coming from the room at the end of the corridor.He turned into the third floor, passed the empty classrooms, and stopped at the door of the office.He pushed open the half-covered door, and Liu Yun fell on the desk, his head hanging upside down on the edge of the desk, his pupils dilated, and his eyes were facing the door without focus. There was a deep hole in blood on his neck, like a knife that had been hooked through his throat. Dead fish, lying on the shore, not breathing, still bleeding.

Blood flowed all over the floor, and the room was filled with a strong smell of blood.A few bloody handprints could be vaguely seen on the clothes on the table, as if someone had wiped them back and forth.

Zhong Yue stood in a pool of blood, holding a pencil sharpener with blood stains on his throat, seeing Fu Rui coming in, his hands couldn't stop shaking.

"Zhong Yue, what happened?" Fu Rui approached Zhong Yue step by step, stretched out his hand and said, "Put down the knife, you don't have to do this, Zhong Yue, put down the knife first."

"No, that's the end...it's all over." Zhong Yue shook his head, blood and tears mixed together on his face, in a dark room, he held a small knife in despair, as if holding a relief The key to all fear.

"Think about Lin Xun, Zhong Yue, think about him, you like him, right? I heard from Lin Xun that you promised him that you would go to him in the future. If you stab the knife in now, you want How to meet him?" Fu Rui approached Zhong Yue slowly, looked into Zhong Yue's eyes and advised.

When Zhong Yue heard Lin Xun's name, his eyes became more shaken, and finally his hands moved away from his neck.Fu Rui held his hand carefully and drew out the knife.Zhong Yue seemed to have been pulled out of the support, and collapsed to the ground.

"What should I do... I have no other way, Mr. Liu, he suddenly... I'm scared, I'm really scared..." Zhong Yue trembled all over, clutching the neckline tightly.It was only then that Fu Rui noticed that his clothes were disheveled, there were bruises on his neck, and under the blood stains, there were a few scratches on his face.

Fu Rui glanced at the gradually chilling corpse on the desk, took a deep breath and said, "Listen to me, Zhong Yue, you are still young, and everything is in time. It was Liu Yun who wanted to force you, so you resisted, right?"

Zhong Yue looked up at Fu Rui in a trance, nodded with a stiff neck.

"You killed him because your life was threatened. This is not the same as someone casually rushing in and stabbing a person. You are protecting yourself for a valid reason. I will testify for you, But I have to call the police first..."

"No...you can't call the police."

Zhong Yue hurriedly grabbed Fu Rui's hand, the blood on his hand was already cold, sticking to the back of Fu Rui's hand wet and sticky, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

"Zhong Yue, it's useless to escape. There are only a few of us in the school, and the traces here can't be erased by the two of us. It's only a matter of time before they find out that Liu Yun is dead. They will find out who killed someone when they investigate. Only surrender is the best choice." Fu Ruiqiang suppressed the panic, took the back of Zhong Yue's hand and withdrew it, "Trust me, I will testify for you, you didn't intend to kill him, and nothing will happen."

The room was in a mess, the landline fell to the ground, and the telephone line was ripped off.Fu Rui walked to the window and picked up the telephone wire among the scattered piles of books.When Fu Rui got up, there was a flash of thunder outside the window, and two people were reflected on the glass.Zhong Yue stood behind him at some point, under the blood stains, the black and blue birthmark on his face seemed to be stained scarlet.

"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry."

The moment Fu Rui turned his head, Zhong Yue pushed him to the window.He slammed into the glass hard, and the glass shattered behind him with lightning and thunder.He fell out of a third-story window, and the rain poured down on him, colder than he had ever been on the way back.

Almost at the same time, he heard an extremely familiar voice calling him hoarsely.

"Fu Rui!"

Lin Xun rushed to the window, desperately reaching out to catch him.He leaned out almost his entire upper body, his face was soaked by the heavy rain, and he pressed one hand on the remaining shards of glass, and was stabbed bloody.

Fu Rui also wanted to hold his hand, but just like that evening when he passed by his small building, he saw him, playing drums on the other side of the river, as if a fire was burning, as if he could reach it with his hand.

But in fact, they are separated by a whole river, and no one can catch the other.

Fu Rui didn't have time to close his eyes, nor did he have time to open his mouth to say anything.Lin Xun called out his name desperately, and tried to open his hands. Fu Rui gave him one last look, and fell in the rainstorm.

Layer by layer, falling quickly.

……

"Ding."

The elevator opened in front of Fu Rui, and he walked into the elevator with a tripod.He lowered his head expressionlessly, touched the back of his neck and moved his neck.After the elevator door closed, Fu Rui looked up at the face reflected in the elevator door, and pressed his fingers on the corner of his mouth to pull it up.

"Laugh."

Fu Rui nodded towards the smiling face, and walked out briskly when the elevator reached the first floor.
