what's in the depths

Zhu Yuhan kept that movement motionless, despite the numbness of his limbs, he was afraid that a little movement would disturb Chu Rong.

Chu Rong sleeps very lightly, and often wakes up in the middle of the night for no reason, and sometimes talks in his sleep. As for what he said, Zhu Yuhan really couldn't hear clearly, but once or twice, he would hear him laughing in his dream, that kind of Suddenly, it even makes people feel a little scared.

But this time, Chu Rong was very quiet.

He is not like Fu Huaiyu, who only knows how to be beautiful every day, and tries every means to make himself smell good without using perfume. Chu Rong can wear perfume, but it is the kind of perfume that is not even considered a fragrance--the fragrance of the underworld. Road, the kind of smell that makes people feel depressed.

Captain Yang was still wriggling over there, trying to break free from the shackles. Zhu Yuhan stared at him, afraid that the chicken thief would sneak away, so he didn't dare to sleep, and planned to wait until Huo Sang and the others came over.

As for Huo Sang, the situation was similar to that of Chu Rong. He couldn't get a taxi, and there was no one to see him off. Haw Sang looked around and saw an old-fashioned bicycle parked in front of the house...

But Hawthorne didn’t have the perseverance, so he rode out of the village with great difficulty, and happened to hitch a ride to pick up an order. He left his bicycle in the wilderness and got on the ride.

The driver was a bald man, who said he had a conflict with his family and that the year was over, so he was going back to the city in a fit of anger.

Hawthorne sat in the back, listening to the uncle chatting about his family's affairs with a blank expression, which made him drowsy.

"Young man, what are you doing at the county police station so late?" The uncle changed the subject.

"Something." Hawthorne opened his misty eyes and replied casually.

"Of course I know you have something to do. Whoever goes to the police station if it's nothing, can you tell me what happened, is it somewhere..." The uncle continued to chatter, completely ignoring Hawthorne's increasingly stinky face.

This time, Hawthorne simply ignored him.

"Young man, don't be afraid, just tell me if you need anything, I can help you." The uncle took care of everything, and the cowhide was about to blow to the sky.

The corners of Hawthorne's mouth twitched: "Brother, it's a red light, drive hard and don't talk."

"You guys really have a personality, I like it! But to be honest, big brother, the police station in the county town, it's better to forget it. If you really have something to do, you might as well come to me, maybe I can solve it for you. .”

"Brother, listen to what you said, you have a lot of background."

It was originally a sarcastic remark, but it was unexpected, but the uncle took it seriously.

"Don't look at my short hair, it's because I was tired from studying before, otherwise I wouldn't have climbed into the procuratorate today." The uncle smiled, opened the playlist, and played a soothing light music.

The bullshit I heard from the driver when I took a taxi emotionally is all true.

This time, Hawthorne didn't put on a cold face, but smiled like a flower and walked over——

------------

The weather in Yong'an is always unstable. It just cleared up one day, and then it began to rain lightly at night.

The sound of the rain gradually became louder, and the force of the rain gradually became unstoppable. A thunderous sound woke up Chu Rong, who was resting on Zhu Yuhan's shoulder.

He looked at Zhu Yuhan, who was also asleep beside him, and Captain Yang, who was still struggling, and realized that he had arrived at the county police station.

At this time, there was a rapid knock on the door outside, Chu Rong paused, went to look at Zhu Yuhan, saw that he was still fast asleep, and walked lightly to the door.

"Who."

"I, Hawthorne."

Chu Rong tidied up a bit, and opened the door. Hawthorne, who was already drenched all over, and a bald uncle with a big belly stood at the door.

At this time, Captain Yang had already moved to the corner by himself, and he couldn't see it unless he looked carefully.

"This is it." Seeing the uncle who didn't look like a good guy, Chu Rong instantly became alert.

"Let me introduce you. This is Prosecutor Song from the General Bureau of the Procuratorate. He just hit him a ride. Prosecutor Song also came to see if there is anything he can do to help us."

This sentence made Chu Rong suspicious again. He looked at this man with a bad face vigilantly, as if he couldn't believe it.

Seeing him like this, Hawthorne hurriedly pulled him aside, lowered his voice and said:

"Actually, Prosecutor Song also said that they have been eyeing the police station in Yong'an County for a long time, but they have not had enough evidence, and the police station has a huge force behind them. The case this time is a good starting point, it helped us, and he could help himself as well."

Seeing that Chu Rong was still full of hesitation, he said again:

"Although he doesn't look like a good guy, he is warm-hearted. Just now in the car, the fight with his wife was revealed to me. Now we are trying our best, so let's trust him once."

After thinking for a long time, Chu Rong reluctantly nodded, not forgetting to remind Hawthorne not to tell the whole story, and to leave a way out for himself.

Hawthorne nodded and made a gesture of "understanding".

"In this way, you go back to the base first, autopsy the body, and find out the real cause of Lu Mingyi's death as soon as possible. Captain Zhu and I will stay here to take charge of the investigation. Speaking of which, where is Captain Zhu?"

Chu Rong looked back and whispered: "He's still sleeping, he's tired too, don't wake him up, can we wait for the trial after dawn?"

Hawsang looked at Chu Rong in surprise, but seeing his resolute face, he had no choice but to agree.

"By the way, where's Fu Huaiyu." At five o'clock in the morning, Fu Huaiyu, who was supposed to arrive at the scene at the first time, did not show up for a long time, which was incredible.

"I don't know." Chu Rong bypassed Huo Sang and walked straight to the door, and finally said, "Don't wake him up."

Huo Sang promised well, but just as Chu Rong left the house, he heard Zhu Yuhan shout dissatisfiedly inside:

"Brother, can you stop pretending to be a ghost, my fragile little heart is scared ten or eight times a day, I can't survive."

Chu Rong smiled, shook his head, and walked slowly towards the main city road in the heavy rain.

------------

The muffled thunder rumbled, and the lightning was like a silver snake, illuminating the ward like daytime.

Xue Fei woke up suddenly, covered in cold sweat, the pain on his mouth clearly stimulated him, at this moment in the silent ward, only his heavy snorting could be heard.

Xue Mingyuan, who was drowsy on the side, was completely awake by the movement of his younger sister. Seeing that his younger sister was looking around in a panic, he quickly got up and walked over to hug her, stroked her hair and comforted her:

"Don't be afraid, it's just thunder."

The sound of sobbing echoed infinitely in the silent ward, and each sound was like a heavy hammer hitting Xue Mingyuan's heart.

"Let's go back today, okay? My brother will take you abroad and he will definitely fix it for you. Don't worry, it's over when we go home." After Xue Mingyuan finished speaking, he bit his lips tightly, trying to restrain his thoughts. desire to cry.

But Xue Fei in his arms shook his head.

She took Xue Mingyuan's hand, and gently wrote three words on his palm:

"Where is Ah Chao?"

It was these three words that completely angered Xue Mingyuan, and his heart burst into flames, as if he was frustrated.

He turned on the light, ignoring that Xue Fei couldn't open his eyes under the glare of the light, he picked up the mirror by the bedside and threw it over, fell on Xue Fei's bed, pointed at Xue Fei's nose and cursed angrily:

"Take a good look at what you are now! Think about who made you like this! I don't care how deep your relationship with him is, and I don't care what he has done for you. I tell you, I won't let He's had a good time, whether you hate me or blame me, I'll leave the words here today."

Xue Fei was stunned, and then slowly took the mirror.

The self in the mirror has changed beyond recognition.

The delicate and beautiful face of the past no longer exists, and what remains is only a broken face, just like his own broken heart.

She clutched the mirror tightly, lowered her head, and her thin shoulders trembled slightly.

"Where is Ah Chao!" The wound on his lip was torn open again, and Xue Fei felt no pain at all, just wailed the name.

Xue Mingyuan's chest heaved violently, and anger spread all over his body.

He rang the call bell next to the hospital bed, and a bunch of nurses came in unison.

"Take care of her." Throwing these words, Xue Mingyuan turned and left the ward.

Hurriedly downstairs, there were two thugs standing at the door, seeing Xue Mingyuan hurried over to hold an umbrella for him.

"Go to the police station." Xue Mingyuan got into the car and slammed the door vigorously, causing the whole car to shake.

Another thug got into the car and handed over a suit: "Boss Xue, clothes."

Without further ado, Xue Mingyuan took off his shirt in the car, put on his shirt, and the veins in his tie-wearing hands popped out.

The car went straight to the police station, and Xue Mingyuan got out of the car before it stopped. He vigorously pushed open the gate of the police station, and the police officers on duty couldn't help being shocked when they saw him.

That black image is like a ghost climbing up from hell, full of resentment, coming for revenge——

"Sir, what's the matter?" A little policeman came over tremblingly.

"Where is Lu Shichao?" Xue Mingyuan said coldly.

"I'm sorry, it's still under trial, please go to the side and wait patiently." The little police officer said.

"No, I'm here to release him on bail." Xue Mingyuan interrupted him, "I've decided to withdraw the charge."

The little policeman looked a bit embarrassed, his whole body felt as uncomfortable as lice, and he kept scratching: "Well, he...I see, I'll ask the section chief first."

This little policeman is also convinced. I have been a policeman for so many years, and it is the first time I have seen such a request. He is released on bail after hurting his own sister like that, and it doesn't look like he is short of the two compensations. Yes, this kind of person is either insane or mentally abnormal.

The little police officer walked into the interrogation room, looked in twice, saw Lu Shichao's face was livid and pale, he thought to himself, "You're lucky, boy", then knocked on the door, and walked in.

The person who is interrogating Lu Shichao is Section Chief Liu of the Criminal Police Section of the County Public Security Bureau. After hearing the news that the family of the victim agreed to withdraw the complaint, he hesitated a little. Ben fell and cursed:

"What the hell is this called? After a night of interrogation, the charges were withdrawn and the charges were withdrawn. Are you using us police as monkeys?"

When Lu Shichao was brought out, he only took one look at Xue Mingyuan, and quickly lowered his head.

Xue Mingyuan sneered: "Get in the car."

"Go...where to go."

Xue Mingyuan ignored him and got into the car, while Lu Shichao was escorted into the car by two thugs, acting extremely rough.

It was only when the car stopped at the entrance of the hospital that Lu Shichao realized that something was wrong. He who had been silent all this time suddenly blushed and vigorously resisted, refusing to get out of the car.

But with his body like a white chicken, he was easily dragged out of the car by two strong thugs, and taken to the hospital like a prisoner.

Xue Fei was sitting on the hospital bed, staring at the heavy rain outside the window in a daze, when he suddenly heard the sound of chaotic footsteps coming from the corridor.

She subconsciously turned her head and looked at the door of the ward in confusion.

The door of the room was pushed open abruptly, and it was his elder brother who came in first, followed by two muscular thugs, and the boyfriend, Ah Chao, who made him think about it for a long time day and night.

Lu Shichao didn't dare to look up from the beginning to the end, and shrank aside.

Xue Fei looked at her, his eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it.

"Brother?" Her voice sounded hollow.

Xue Mingyuan waved to the two thugs behind him, signaling them to wait outside the door first.

As soon as the two left, there were only the embarrassing three people left in the ward.

Of course, only Lu Shichao was embarrassed.

And he hadn't slept all night, his face was pale, and his two dark circles were about to fall out of his eye sockets.

Xue Mingyuan took off his coat, reached out and pulled Lu Shichao's hair and dragged him to Xue Fei's hospital bed, and said sternly:

"Tell me why you did this."

Xue Fei touched his stinging lips, and wanted to get out of bed, but Xue Mingyuan pressed him on the bed: "You sit down."

Lu Shichao didn't say a word, just lowered his head and let Xue Mingyuan pull his hair vigorously.

"The rubbish should go back to your rubbish dump. You guys are really capable when you come out to imitate others. Do you know who this is? Do you know what our family's status is in China? Even Xiao Fei you Dare to move, I see you are seriously ill!"

As he said that, Xue Mingyuan pulled Lu Shichao's hair and slammed him against the wall.

Lu Shichao's forehead hit the corner of the table, and blood flowed profusely immediately.

He covered his head in pain, knelt on the ground, motionless, and didn't even cry out for pain.

"Damn you!" Xue Mingyuan picked up the fruit supplements on the table, and threw them all at Lu Shichao, still not relieved, and stepped forward to kick him.

Seeing that Xue Mingyuan's temper could not be restrained, Xue Fei staggered down from the bed to prevent the situation from getting worse, ran to Lu Shichao's side barefoot, covered him tightly with his body, cried and shook his head, full of wounds. The word "don't" came out hoarsely.

Xue Mingyuan, who was completely dazzled by anger, could not hear anything, only the three words "Kill him" kept shouting in his heart.

He picked up the fruit knife on the table, walked to the two of them, pointed at Xue Fei, and said coldly:

"You get out of the way."

Xue Fei kept shaking his head, tears kept flowing, the wound on his mouth opened again due to his excessive movement, and blood flowed down his chin, staining his clothes red.

She even knelt in front of her brother, hugged his leg, and hoarsely shouted "Please, don't do this, brother, he's going to die".

Xue Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, then slowly squatted down, took a tissue to wipe Xue Fei's blood with distress, and tried to keep his voice as soft as possible:

"Xiaofei, do you know that if the police hadn't notified us in time, we might not have seen you now. He ruined your face like this, and even asked you to marry a stranger you have never met, Tell me, are you willing?"

"What..." Xue Fei opened her fleshy lips and looked at Lu Shichao in disbelief.

"Really, Ah Chao, you want to...give me to someone else?"

At that moment, Xue Mingyuan pulled Xue Fei up from the ground and pressed him on the bed: "Okay, you want to see him, I let you see him for the last time, you understand, I didn't know he told you What, however, is the fact that he has been lying to you."

Xue Mingyuan looked at Xue Fei with dull eyes: "Be obedient, come home with me obediently."

"Ah Chao, is it true? Do you have any difficulties? Tell me, let's find a solution together..." Xue Fei avoided her brother, and leaned forward without giving up.

Seeing Xue Fei's posture, Xue Mingyuan felt terribly disappointed. Just as he was about to say something, Lu Shichao fell to the side and spoke first:

"Yes, your brother is right, I have been using you all the time, and I tell you the truth, I dislike you very much, I am annoyed by your self-righteous attitude, you spend money every day trying to make me a nobleman, I can't stand it From now on, it’s not uncommon, go back to your big city and be your daughter.”

In Xue Fei's impression, Lu Shichao has always been the kind of taciturn person who utters single words when he speaks. This may be the first time I have heard him utter so many words at once since I have been in love with him for four years.

But in the past four years, Xue Fei felt that he was happy even if he slurred words.

He was finally willing to speak, but told her such an answer.

"Fuck you!" Xue Mingyuan pulled Lu Shichao up from the ground and pressed him against the wall, holding up the fruit knife in his hand——

"Brother! Forget it!" Xue Fei exclaimed, almost rolling over and grabbing Xue Mingyuan's hand, weeping and shaking his head, "For this kind of person to ruin... my bright future, not worth it……"

That's what he said, but it didn't seem to be what he thought.

Xue Fei buried her head in her brother's arms and whispered, "Go home... let's go home..."

------------

The plane streaked across the sky, leaving a long white tail behind.

The rain is getting lighter, the sky is still gray, and the tide in the air spreads all over the body. Several people in the abandoned warehouse feel sticky all over, and they can't wait to rush into the rain to take a shower.

Prosecutor Song's wife called one after another. Prosecutor Song only said that he was busy with work, and now was the critical moment, so he told her not to make any more calls.

His wife became angry when she heard it, and scolded her head and face:

"Work? Which vixen's bed are you working on?! I think you belong to the top, so you don't want to smoke!"

"Bah! A woman's opinion!" Prosecutor Song hung up the phone angrily and turned off the phone.

Zhu Yuhan didn't mean to listen, but Prosecutor Song's knockoff phone leaked so much that he could hear it clearly from a long distance away.

Now, Zhu Yuhan is willing to believe that Prosecutor Song is really a good and honest official.

Look at his push-button mobile phone whose back shell is almost worn out, and the old-fashioned Santana parked at the door, and then look at Prosecutor Song's outfit, how shabby it is, how shabby it is, you tell people on the street that this is an official , Others really can't believe it.

Looking at Captain Yang who was tied up like a dead pig by Huo Sang on the ground, Zhu Yuhan smiled so proudly that his mouth almost reached his ears, but he also understood that now is not the time to laugh, after all, who can laugh at the end, Still an unknown.

Prosecutor Song took out the recording pen from the car, prepared the notebook, and wiped the dusty round table with his sleeve.

After wiping, I feel wrong again. What is the difference between this and directly arching upwards.

He sat upright, with a serious face:

"Yang Limin, isn't it? Chief Chief of Criminal Investigation Section [-] of Yong'an County Police Station, tsk, I have to say, Yong'an is a good place, with beautiful mountains and rivers, and abundant supplies, but it's the folk customs...it's really unflattering."

Yang Limin sneered and turned his head away.

"Tell me, what is the purpose of you binding Xiao Zhu here."

When Captain Yang heard this, he stared like a bull with his eyes: "Why don't you ask him, what's the purpose of trying to steal the corpse?"

Zhu Yuhan spread his hands: "In order to reveal your ugly face, otherwise, what else can I do, I am not like the people here, and I even have a ghost marriage and joint burial. What's the matter, there is a royal throne at home?"

"Dark marriage is not illegal, right? It's your turn to take care of what people think?" Captain Yang spat, and was spitting on Zhu Yuhan's shoes.

Zhu Yuhan squatted down and pulled Captain Yang's coat and wiped his shoes, saying:

"Don't be so stubborn with me. Just the little things in your heart. We already knew that Lu Mingyi's body has been transported back to the base. Our family's forensic doctor is doing an autopsy. It won't be long before the truth will be revealed to the world. I advise you It's better to recruit early, die early and surpass... No, confession is lenient, and resistance is strict."

Captain Yang pursed his lips tightly, as if he would rather die than surrender.

"You don't have to say anything, I'll tell you." Zhu Yuhan stood up.

"Yes, ghost marriage is indeed not illegal. It is a good thing for two children to die and be buried together to pay homage to the dead and bring comfort to the family. But stealing and selling corpses, or even burying them together with living people, come on, we represent the rule of law and the law. The righteous police officer Yang said, so, how should I be sentenced?"

Captain Yang still didn't say a word, his face was stuck to the concrete floor, which was very dirty.

"We have already done a preliminary autopsy on Lu Mingyi's body. Except for the back of the head, the rest of the body has no trauma. A car accident? Why, can this car fly into the sky?"

Prosecutor Song opened the briefcase, took out a stack of documents, and looked at them one by one.

Time passed by bit by bit, and it was almost noon.

Chu Rong finally called.

"Just now I dissected Lu Mingyi's body. His throat was black. It was preliminarily estimated to be caused by poison, but because there is no equipment here, the exact composition cannot be determined. Furthermore, I checked Lu Mingyi's whole body, except for the back of the head. , and no other fatal injuries were found, so the real cause of Lu Mingyi's death was the wound on the back of the head, which was probably caused by a blunt instrument, judging from the size, the blunt instrument was about three or four centimeters long and wide."

"Three or four centimeters, a hammer?" Zhu Yuhan asked.

"Probably, but there is another very important point. Both fingertips of the deceased had injuries of varying degrees, which may have been caused by violent struggle during his lifetime, and I found a little dark blue fiber in the nails of the deceased. In fact, it is a bit For the material of the police uniform, I will ask a private inspection center to compare it with the police uniform according to the degree of fiber peaks in the afternoon. If the peaks are the same, there is only one reason."

Zhu Yuhan froze for a moment, then slowly looked at Captain Yang who was lying on the ground——
