spirits in throat
Chapter 123 The End (2)
The houses are like small castles. Through the carved fences, you can see the roses and roses blooming in the courtyard walls of each family.
When the roses bloom all over the wall in May next year, it will be a beautiful scene in the world again.
When Rong Zhao returned home, the wedding planner and workers had already arrived.
Workers were building ladders and making shelves, and by the morning of the wedding, these arched shelves were all adorned with the freshest flowers.
The wedding planner saw Rong Zhao, came over with a notebook in his arms, smiled and said, "Morning, Mr. Rong." After speaking, he showed Rong Zhao the renderings on his computer.
While explaining: "The guests use pure white chairs, leaving a two-meter-wide aisle in the middle for laying the red carpet."
"Of course, we won't use a real red carpet. It doesn't match a lawn wedding. Instead, we will use big red rose petals. From the gate to the ceremony stage, we will lay a road full of red makeup. What do you think?"
Rong Zhao smiled slightly and nodded: "You have worked hard."
Not long after, Ye Qian came. She was on vacation today and came here specially to see Rong Zhao.
Rong Zhao asked Ye Qian for help, communicated with the wedding planner about other details, walked to the middle of the yard by himself, and helped the workers set up a shelf.
Like Ye Qian, this wedding planner is a senior rotten girl. The two had a good chat, covering their mouths and secretly laughing from time to time.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Rong Zhao went back to the study, took out a pocket spring knife from a small cabinet, put it in his pocket, turned around and walked out of the room.
Rong Zhao went downstairs and said to Aunt Zhao that she was going out by herself and would not eat lunch at home, so she asked her to entertain Ye Qian and the other guests.
Aunt Zhao stopped Rong Zhao at the door of the living room: "Are you having dinner at home?"
After Rong Zhao changed his shoes, he stood there for a moment, then turned his head and smiled, "It depends."
Aunt Zhao still wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to spoil the surprise marriage proposal that the elder master had prepared for the younger master, so she kept her mouth shut.
Rong Zhao walked out of the yard, glanced at the lawn wedding under construction, paused for a while on the big "囍" character in the middle of the lawn, turned and walked out the door.
After confirming the protection plan and action plan with Lin Hongze again and again, Rong Zhao took out his mobile phone and called Su Jiaze: "I have thought about it, and I am willing to accept your proposal."
"I don't want the video in your hand to fall into the hands of the police. You give me the video, and I will go with you."
What Rong Zhao was talking about was the video on Su Jiaze's cell phone that he stabbed Xu Yunliang in the heart with a knife on a rainy night six years ago.
Rong Zhao knew that Xu Yunliang's death had nothing to do with him, but Su Jiaze didn't.
No matter what Su Jiaze thinks about him, it doesn't matter whether he is afraid of murder and going to jail, or because he wants to get the evidence in his hands, Rong Zhao's purpose is to get close to him and get the evidence.
Su Jiaze was very happy when he heard Rong Zhao's words: "Where are you, I'll pick you up."
In fact, he knew very well in his heart that Rong Zhao was willing to go with him, probably because of the evidence in his hand.
It doesn't matter, as long as Rong Zhao is taken abroad, he will never let him back.
Su Jiaze hid the criminal evidence, like holding a knife hanging over his head, but he had to do it, this is a knife, but also a piece of bait, a piece of bait to catch Rong Zhao out and take away.
After giving the address, Rong Zhao hung up the phone, checked the location tracker on his body, and even asked Lin Hongze for a body armor to wear under his sweater to protect himself well.
Soon, a black Cayenne stopped at the entrance of the rose garden, Rong Zhao opened the door and got on the car.
Seeing Rong Zhao, Su Jiaze saw that he was wearing a black down jacket, and smiled slightly: "You used to be the most beautiful, and you were the one who cared about demeanor but not warmth, so I haven't seen you wearing a down jacket."
Rong Zhao hummed, but did not answer Su Jiaze's words.
When the car left the Rose Garden, Rong Zhao said, "I'm going with you because I don't want to be arrested by the police and go to jail. I haven't promised or promised you anything. Please understand that."
Su Jiaze said in a deep voice while driving, "I know, I won't force you."
If he wanted to force him, he would have taken him away six years ago. What he wanted was for him to become the same person as him, so that they could be together forever, and no one could do without the other.
"Just leave like this, aren't you afraid that that lunatic Zhou Ye will come after you?"
Rong Zhao looked out the car window: "I chose to go with you because I didn't want him to know that I killed someone. I didn't want him to be disappointed in me. Compared to leaving him, I'm more afraid that he won't like me anymore."
Su Jiaze's face darkened: "You really like him very much."
Rong Zhao didn't deny it, and everyone knew a lot of things.
While waiting for the red light, Su Jiaze turned to look at Rong Zhao, with deep greed in his eyes: "I will make you forget him."
The car drove straight forward, and soon drove out of Dongyu City.Rong Zhao asked, "Where are you taking me?"
Su Jiaze said while speeding up, "You'll know when you get there."
He glanced at the rearview mirror: "There are policemen following behind, get rid of them later."
Rong Zhao looked at Su Jiaze: "Aren't you going back to the hotel to pack your things?"
Su Jiaze shook his head: "Those are useless things, you don't need them." His luggage has already been packed, but it's not here.
Rong Zhao didn't ask any more questions.
The car quickly drove out of Dongyu City. At noon, Su Jiaze parked the car at the expressway service area, got out and bought a few bottles of mineral water, and brought Rong Zhao a cup of milk tea: "Do you want strawberry cake or a box lunch? It's all ready."
Rong Zhao: "Cake."
Su Jiaze sat in the driver's seat and watched Rong Zhao eat, but he didn't eat. He just kept looking at Rong Zhao, as if he couldn't get enough of it.
Rong Zhao didn't care about Su Jiaze, he should eat and drink, and conserve his energy so that he could deal with Su Jiaze slowly.
Su Jiaze drank some water and started the car.
The car was driving very fast on the expressway, already exceeding the speed limit, Rong Zhao didn't want to kill Su Jiaze before he got the evidence from Su Jiaze, married Zhou Ye, and died in a car accident first: "Slow down."
Su Jiaze looked in the rearview mirror: "Wait until I get rid of the policeman behind." After speaking, he stepped on the gas pedal again.
As long as Rong Zhao is by his side, Su Jiaze is not afraid of death, even if he dies, it is his honor to die with Rong Zhao.
Rong Zhao didn't want to go crazy with Su Jiaze, he couldn't let himself die here, so he could only say: "Stop in front, I'll drive."
"I used to be a policeman. I know the way they stalk people best. I know how to get rid of them."
--
Zhou Ye was interrogating the suspect. He was a hard nut to crack. He interrogated the suspect for two or three hours.
Once out of the interrogation room, Fan Yao handed over Zhou Ye's cell phone: "Several calls came in just now."
Zhou Ye glanced at it, it was someone from Zhou's family whom he sent out to monitor Su Jiaze, saying that Rong Zhao had gotten into Su Jiaze's car and was nowhere to be seen now.
Zhou Ye made a phone call to Rong Zhao, and it showed that the phone was turned off.
Since the last kennel incident, Rong Zhao has never turned off his mobile phone. Even when he is sleeping in the middle of the night, or going out for a walk after dinner, Rong Zhao always turns on his mobile phone, for fear that Zhou Ye will be anxious if he can't find him.
Zhou Ye frowned, thought for a moment, then turned and went to the office of the Second Criminal Investigation Team.
Lin Hongze was sitting in front of three computers, one of which displayed the tracker on Rong Zhao's body. The red markers kept flashing on the traffic map, and the progress was extremely fast.
The other two computers are highway monitoring screens. The deputy team pointed to the screens and said anxiously: "Su Jiaze drove out from the highway. Look at the direction you're heading. It's not good for our tracking."
Lin Hongze leaned back in his chair, staring at the computer screen: "It's not Su Jiaze who drives, it's Rong Zhao."
The only one who could get rid of the police under strict surveillance was Rong Zhao who knew the "invisibility technique", Su Jiaze didn't have that ability.
Wang Jinghua stood up from the chair: "What should I do, should I send someone to intercept it in front?"
Deputy team: "Fortunately, Rong Zhao has a tracker on him." They just need Su Jiaze to arrive at the foothold, receive a signal from Rong Zhao, and take down the person and the evidence in one fell swoop.
Zhou Ye kicked open the door of the office of the second team, walked in front of Lin Hongze with a sullen face, grabbed him from the chair, and asked loudly, "Whose plan?"
Lin Hongze tidied up the clothes messed up by Zhou Ye: "Rong Zhao asked for it."
Zhou Ye turned around and looked at the computer screen, his face getting worse and worse, and the people around him didn't dare to say anything at all.
"I'm going there in person, are you going?" Lin Hongze tried to comfort Zhou Ye, "Rong Zhao has performed more dangerous tasks than this before, you have to trust him."
Zhou Ye turned his head and looked at Lin Hongze. The anger in his eyes had not dissipated. He clenched his fist and slammed it on the table with a "bang" sound: "Su Jiaze is a lunatic."
The whole office fell into silence.
Lin Hongze stepped forward: "Do you know why he is going?"
Lin Hongze walked to the computer screen and looked at the moving location tracker that was constantly flashing on the screen: "He said, he wants to marry you properly, and he wants to live a stable and peaceful life."
Zhou Ye felt a pain in his heart. He should have been the one to do the dangerous thing of clearing obstacles, and he should have been the one to protect and guard him.
Rong Zhao has suffered too much.
These days, Su Jiaze was followed by not only the police, but also people sent by Zhou Ye from the Zhou family. He originally thought that when he was busy with the case at hand, he would spare time to clean up Su Jiaze.
He was still one step behind Rong Zhao.
Zhou Ye got into the car, holding a laptop in his hand, watching the flickering tracker, with a few maps of the city and neighboring cities scattered in his hand.
Lin Hongze drove the car himself, followed by three police cars, and drove out of the city bureau gate together.
"We suspect that Su Jiaze is going to take Rong Zhao to smuggle to Germany by waterway," Lin Hongze said while driving, "There is a small fishing village at the junction of Dongyu City and Linyang City. Many people like to smuggle from there, and there are many snakeheads , has formed a considerable industrial chain.”
Zhou Ye watched the tracker on the screen head towards the fishing village. He took out his mobile phone and contacted the local police station in the fishing village and the nearby water police.
Su Jiaze stopped the car suddenly, turned to look at Rong Zhao: "I'm afraid that the police will install a tracker on you, let me check it for you and remove it, so that they won't disturb us."
"I'll do it myself." Rong Zhao touched himself, found a button-sized tracker from the interlayer of the down jacket pocket, raised his hand and threw it out the window.
He had communicated with Lin Hongze before meeting Su Jiaze, and guessed that Su Jiaze would bring him to the fishing village to smuggle him. Even if he lost the tracker, Lin Hongze would still be able to find him.
It was some distance away from the fishing village, and it took another hour to arrive by car.
Su Jiaze parked the car in the fishing village, opened the door for Rong Zhao, looked down at the time and said, "If you hurry up, you can leave tonight."
It's already five o'clock in the afternoon, and it gets dark early in winter, and the sky looks like it's going to get dark.
The sky was cloudy, with many clouds, but it was not dull. A gust of evening wind blew over, and it blew the windows of someone nearby.
This is called drawer wind, which is caused by unstable air flow and is a sign before snowfall.
Rong Zhao zipped up his down jacket and put his hands in his pockets to keep himself warm.
It would be bad if it snowed today. Last time he told Zhou Ye that he must be with him on the first snow of this year, watch snow, have snowball fights, and make snowmen with him.
It seldom snows in Jiangnan. If it really snowed after all, and he was not with Zhou Ye, it would be a pity to think about it.
Rong Zhao looked around, the fishing village in front of him was not too big, most of the houses were old and built along the coast.Fishing nets and other fishing tools are hung in front of and behind the house.
There are large and small boats parked on the shore in the distance, some are smaller wooden ones, some are made of high-tech materials, and there are one or two luxurious ones.
Su Jiaze walked Rong Zhao into the fishing village, and said, "When we get to Germany, let's go fishing together."
Rong Zhao didn't speak, and Su Jiaze didn't mind. He continued on his own, "We'll have dinner here. I've ordered someone to prepare it in advance. After eating, pack up your things and get on the boat around ten o'clock in the evening."
When they arrived at the door of a fisherman's house, Su Jiaze knocked on the door. A middle-aged woman came and opened the door. Seeing Su Jiaze and Rong Zhao, she looked around again before letting them in.
With a cautious and sneaky appearance, it can be seen that he is engaged in smuggling business.
Su Jiaze brought Rong Zhao into the side room connected to the main house, told him to sit down and rest, then asked the woman just now for a charcoal stove, and put it in the middle of the room to warm Rong Zhao's hands.
Su Jiaze sat beside Rong Zhao, warming himself by the fire, looked at Rong Zhao and said, "I remember one winter, you gave me a pair of gloves, smoke gray, with a black hook line, do you remember?"
Rong Zhao shook his head, with no emotion on his face: "I don't remember."
Su Jiaze was not embarrassed either, he smiled and said, "I'll show it to you later, and you'll definitely remember it."
Rong Zhao turned his head and looked at the room.The room is not big, about fifteen or six square meters, with two single beds side by side next to the wall, and two simple wardrobes next to the bed, which are usually used by stowaways.
Su Jiaze's luggage is not here, but it is well hidden.
"Bang bang bang", there was a knock on the door, and the woman who let them in before pushed the door open and looked inside, "It's time to eat."
Su Jiaze took Rong Zhao out and came to the main house.
The dining table was placed in the middle of the main room. A dozen dishes were placed on a dark red round table. There were already several people sitting at the table, mostly young men.
The woman watched Su Jiaze and Rong Zhao sit down, and at the same time called to the kitchen inside: "Girl, bring two more sets of bowls and chopsticks."
A little girl came out of the kitchen. She had short hair and was wearing a handmade floral padded jacket. Her cheeks were flushed by the winter sea breeze. She looked only seven or eight years old and looked very good.
A guest sneezed accidentally, the little girl handed him a pack of tissues, then ran to the inner room with a thump, came back with a pack of cold medicine in her hand, handed it to the guest and left, don’t bother money.
Rong Zhao looked at the meals on the table, most of them were seafood, mixed with some vegetables and beef and mutton, all served on large plates.
After dinner, everyone dispersed, Su Jiaze took Rong Zhao back to the original room, and the two sat in front of the charcoal stove to warm up.
Rong Zhao finally waited until Su Jiaze stood up and said to him: "I'll go and get my luggage, you wait here for me, don't wander around, we should be leaving in two hours or so."
Su Jiaze had been away for a long time this time, and he came back an hour later. When he came back and saw Rong Zhao, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes, as if he had found some extremely precious treasure after losing it.
Su Jiaze was on guard against Rong Zhao, but also wanted him to stay by his side willingly.
Rong Zhao didn't leave, whether it was because he didn't want to leave or because he didn't get what he wanted, as long as this person was still there, he was very happy.
Su Jiaze didn't have much luggage, only a black travel bag.
He opened the door and came in, and a gust of cold wind blew in, with a few snow particles caught in the wind.
Rong Zhao raised his eyes and glanced at Su Jiaze, and saw him put his travel bag on the table next to him.
Rong Zhao noticed that a small reed feather had fallen behind Su Jiaze's shoulder.It is guessed that the stronghold he used to put things needs to pass through a reed field.
"Is it cold?" Su Jiaze sat by the fire and warmed his hands. He stood up again after not sitting for 2 minutes. "I'm going to get some hot water. You warm your hands with it, and it will make you feel better while drinking."
Rong Zhao hummed, but still didn't say much, he didn't talk much, especially with Su Jiaze.
Not long after, Su Jiaze came back holding a glass, the water in the glass was steaming: "It's snowing."
Rong Zhao took the water glass and warmed it in his hand.
Su Jiaze: "I'll go out for a while and leave in 10 minutes. You stay indoors and don't go anywhere."
After Su Jiaze opened the door and went out, Rong Zhao got up and put the glass on the table, and saw Su Jiaze walking out of the yard through the crack of the door.
He turned around and walked to the table, and unzipped the travel bag. Inside were a few changes of underwear, a few packs of disposable ones, probably for him, and a few packs of fruit candies, probably as well. For him.
At the bottom of the travel bag was a small iron box about [-] centimeters long and [-] centimeters wide, which was locked.
If Su Jiaze hid something, he could only put it in this iron box.
Rong Zhao was so focused on looking for something that he didn't notice a pair of gloomy eyes staring at him behind his back.
Su Jiaze didn't intend to go out at all, he turned back early, and he has been looking at Rong Zhao.
Rong Zhao picked up the iron box and was about to leave, when he turned around and saw Su Jiaze opened the door and walked in.
Su Jiaze closed the door and walked towards Rong Zhao step by step, with a trace of resentment flashing in his eyes: "I didn't want to do anything to you, but you let me down so much."
……
Zhou Ye and the others parked their car outside the fishing village. When they got out of the car, a layer of white had already accumulated on the ground, and snowflakes were falling down one after another.
The tracker on Rong Zhao's body was removed, so they could only hide in the dark and search one by one.
Many people in this village are in the smuggling business, and they will cover up each other, and will report if they find something wrong.
Zhou Ye and a police officer pretended to be people who wanted to smuggle out of the country, and knocked on the door of a house.
The person who opened the door was an old man with a gray beard and a cane in his hand. He looked very old: "Who are you looking for?"
Zhou Ye was holding a bag in his hand, and said anxiously, "Old man, is there a boat going out tonight?"
The old man looked at Zhou Ye. He had lived here for a long time, and he was used to seeing this kind of people sneaking over in the middle of the night. Most of them had committed crimes and wanted to escape overnight, or they wanted to work abroad.
The old man asked vigilantly, "Didn't you contact me in advance?"
Zhou Ye: "I contacted a person named Wang Liu before, but for some reason, I suddenly couldn't get in touch, and I was trapped here, and I couldn't leave even if I wanted to."
On the way here, Zhou Ye got some information about the snakeheads from the police station here. This man named Wang Liu was arrested by the police two days ago, and he happened to be used here.
When the old man heard the name of a familiar person, most of the vigilance in his eyes faded away. He didn't say anything about Wang Liu being taken away, but said, "There is something wrong with Wang Liu's family and he can't leave. Go back."
Zhou Ye turned his head and looked around, wiped off the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and said in an anxious tone: "Could you please contact someone else, it's best to leave tonight, I'll pay three times the price .”
After speaking, he took out 1000 yuan from his pocket and secretly stuffed it into the old man's hand.
The old man put the money into his pocket, hesitated and said, "Let me ask for you."
The old man closed the door, locked Zhou Ye and the others out, and talked on the phone in the yard by himself. After a while, he opened the door and said, "You guys are lucky, there are two ships going to Germany, but only There is only one seat left, and only one person can go."
The little police officer was very clever, and immediately said to Zhou Ye: "Boss, you go first, I will take the boat tomorrow, and I will look for you as soon as I arrive at the place."
The old man glanced at the time: "The boat departs at ten o'clock, hurry up, there are still 10 minutes left, and you can still catch up if you run quickly."
As he spoke, he pointed towards the seaside: "I saw the lights over there, let's go."
Zhou Ye threw the travel bag in his hand to the little policeman, turned around, and quickly ran towards the light.He ran to the place in only 5 minutes, but the boat left ahead of schedule.
The sea was calm and calm, and there was not even a shadow of a boat in sight.
Zhou Ye tried his best to calm himself down, took out his mobile phone and called the marine police. The person in charge said that the smuggling boat had been stopped and was being arrested.
Zhou Ye stood on the shore and looked at the sea level in the distance. The lighthouse on the sea surface was shining brightly, illuminating the water surface with sparkling light.
Snowflakes fell one after another, and were swallowed by the boundless sea in an instant.
With the marine police around, Zhou Ye wasn't worried that the boat would go out to sea. He was afraid that Su Jiaze would jump over the wall and drag Rong Zhao to his death.
If he were Su Jiaze, when he was desperate, he would definitely drag Rong Zhao down, if he couldn't live, if he couldn't live together, he would drag Rong Zhao to die together.
How could Su Jiaze not like dying in the same sea with the person he loved the most on a snowy night.
Zhou Ye stood on the shore, his thoughts gradually being engulfed in gray, he clenched his teeth tightly, clenched his hands into fists, and looked at the distant sea with red eyes.
The mobile phone finally rang, and the marine police called, saying that all the people on the two boats were under control, and no one was missing or injured. However, Su Jiaze and Rong Zhao were not found on board.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ye turned around and looked at the small fishing village behind him. Lin Hongze called and said that he had led people to surround the whole fishing village: "Su Jiaze's car was found at the entrance of the fishing village, he should still be in the village .”
The police sealed off the village on land, and the marine police rounded it up in the sea, so Su Jiaze couldn't escape.
Zhou Ye was most worried about Rong Zhao, as long as Rong Zhao was still with Su Jiaze, he would not be able to relax.
From going to work in the morning to parting with Rong Zhao, it has only been fourteen hours, but he feels like three months have passed, and every minute and every second is very difficult.
Zhou Ye gripped the gun on his waist, his dark eyes sank, he turned and walked into the fishing village.
A woman opened the gate of the yard, poked her head out and looked outside, and saw the police cordoning off the edge of the fishing village. She was familiar with this scene. There were so many stowaways here, it was not surprising that the police would come.
Her family has never fished, and they rely on those stowaways to come to eat and house to make money. Many people here are like this. Therefore, they don't like the police coming, and they don't actively cooperate. They feel that they are disturbing their lives and cutting off their lives. money.
Behind the woman stood a short-haired little girl about seven or eight years old. The little girl's face was flushed by the wind, and she also looked out through the crack of the door. The woman pulled her back and whispered, "Don't look, go back to sleep. "
The little girl raised her head: "Mom, I want to go out and play."
The woman closed the door and scolded: "It's so chaotic outside, what are you playing, come in!"
The little girl was locked in the house. She looked into the main room and saw that her mother was cleaning up the house and the kitchen, and her father was not at home, so she went back to her room, closed the door, and climbed out of the window.
The little girl ran around the house and hit a person as she ran outside the cordon, nearly falling to the ground.
She looked up, and was startled by the gloomy expression on this adult's face, and hurried forward.
Zhou Ye carried the little girl over, took out his phone, and put Rong Zhao's photo in front of her eyes: "Have you seen this person?"
The little girl looked up at Zhou Ye, her big eyes rolled around, as if she was sizing up and hesitating about something.
Zhou Ye could see that this little girl must have seen Rong Zhao.
"I'm a policeman, not a bad guy. I'm here to save people. Where have you seen this uncle?"
The little girl confirmed that Zhou Ye was not a bad person, and took out half a reed feather from her pocket and handed it over: "It was left by that uncle, don't tell my mother that I gave it to you, or she will beat me up." After speaking, she turned and ran away. up.
An hour ago, Su Jiaze discovered that Rong Zhao was going through his travel bag, knowing that Rong Zhao would never go on board with him anyway, so he asked someone to tie him up.
Rong Zhao's current situation made Su Jiaze have to suspect that the police were already on their way, and the waterway would not be safe.
Before being kidnapped, Rong Zhao threw half a reed feather that he had taken from Su Jiaze on the ground, and his eyes collided with the little girl who was playing with snow in the yard.
He bet she was a kind and sensible child.
Zhou Ye watched the back of the little girl disappearing into the night.
There are indeed bad people in this world, just because one person is bad does not mean that all people are bad.Where there is a dirty and despicable heart, there will naturally be a pure and kind one.
Zhou Ye returned to Lin Hongze and the others, telling them to pay attention to the reeds by the sea and river.
There is a small river where it meets the sea. The small river is the most suitable place for reeds to grow. Zhou Ye led people to rush there.
There are reeds growing along the river, extending for two to 300 meters along the river.
A police officer handed over a pair of long black rubber shoes, but Zhou Ye didn't take them. The rubber shoes were waterproof and frostproof, but they were too clumsy to get in the way.
Zhou Ye jumped off the embankment and waded into the bitterly cold water in December, holding a flashlight in one hand and an electric baton in the other, and searched among the reeds.
The reeds were thick and dense, taller than a person, and Zhou Ye's face was scratched with bloodstains, but he didn't realize it.
Finally, Zhou Ye found a hole behind a clump of reeds, just enough for a person to pass through.
He squatted down and shined the ground with a flashlight. There were two pairs of footprints, one of which belonged to Rong Zhao. He recognized the patterns on the soles of that pair of shoes, which were exactly the same as those on his feet. They were lovers' shoes.
The tunnel was very long, so Zhou Ye quickened his pace and ran for more than ten minutes before reaching the exit, which was already outside the fishing village.
Su Jiaze has already escaped from the fishing village with Rong Zhao.
"I found it," a police officer shouted while shining a flashlight on the ground, "it's blood."
There was a layer of white snow on the ground, and a large piece of blood on it was particularly eye-catching, and a few drops of blood were sprinkled intermittently in front of it.
Zhou Ye squatted down and took a look: "They shouldn't have gone far."
Wang Jinghua followed Zhou Ye all the time, and said worriedly: "Brother Rong is going to be okay after bleeding so much?"
As Zhou Ye walked forward, he picked up the flashlight and shone it on the ground: "How do you know it's not Su Jiaze's?"
Wang Jinghua could tell that Zhou Ye wasn't blaming her for talking nonsense, he really believed in Rong Zhao.
Worrying but still believing.
Wang Jinghua hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Brother Rong is so powerful, he will definitely be fine."
After walking forward for more than ten meters, the bloodstains disappeared, and the footprints on the ground were covered with snow, so everyone moved in groups of two and continued to search.
Zhou Ye kept going forward. His hands and feet were soaked in cold water and stepped on the snow. He was almost frozen to death. The wound on his face that was blown by the reed branches and leaves was blown by the wind, as if he had sprinkled salt on it. , It should have hurt, but he didn't feel it.
Zhou Ye stood in the middle of a snowy field, the sky and the ground were white, the snowflakes fluttered one after another, falling on the people's heads and clothes, the surrounding voices gradually disappeared, the sky and the ground were silent, only the vast and lonely white remained.
After another half an hour, Zhou Ye had already separated from the search team, and even his mobile phone had no signal, and it automatically shut down at low temperature.
Zhou Ye put the mobile phone under his clothes and covered it. The down jacket is not enough, so he needs to put it under the sweater.
The black wool vest on his body was given to him by Rong Zhao this morning.
Zhou Ye tried to turn on the phone, but still couldn't.
He threw his phone to the ground, he didn't want to contact anyone, he just missed Rong Zhao too much, and wanted to see his photo.
He bent down again and picked up the phone. There were many photos of Rong Zhao in it, so he couldn't bear to throw it away.
Zhou Ye picked up the phone and looked up, and saw a figure walking towards him in the snow, calling his name: "Zhou Ye."
The black down jacket on Rong Zhao was gone, and the white sweater was stained with a lot of blood. He seemed to have little strength, and his steps were strenuous.
Zhou Ye ran towards Rong Zhao and said hoarsely, "Stay there and don't move."
When there was only two or three meters between them, Rong Zhao smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not injured." The blood on his body belonged to Su Jiaze.
Zhou Ye hugged Rong Zhao tightly. Only by holding him in his arms can he feel at ease and believe that he has really returned safely.
Rong Zhao thumped Zhou Ye's back: "The hug is too tight, I can't breathe."
Zhou Ye took off his down jacket, put it on for Rong Zhao, held his face, and tremblingly said, "I'm sorry."
He once said, don't let him suffer any more.
Rong Zhao smiled, and raised his hand to stroke the snowflakes off Zhou Ye's hair: "It's me who insisted on running out, which made you worry."
Zhou Ye grabbed a handful of snow from the ground, rubbed Rong Zhao's hands with the snow, and wiped off the blood on his hands.
"Su Jiaze asked someone to tie me up," Rong Zhao said as he followed Zhou Ye forward, "After we came out of the reed cave, there were only two of us left."
"I cut the rope with the spring knife hidden on my body, injured his leg, and took away the evidence he carried with him."
Although Rong Zhao was very tired and weak, his voice was clear and clear, his eyes were shining brightly, his chin was slightly raised, like a little general who had won a battle.
Zhou Ye turned his head to look at Rong Zhao, and remembered the high-spirited Rong Zhao he saw in the photo six years ago.
Looking at the person in front of him, the picture scroll appeared in Zhou Ye's mind again.
The boy in white got on his horse, the wind and snow stained his clothes, and the muddy water splashed his shoes, but he didn't care at all.Galloping across the mountains, rivers and plains, the young man stopped his horse, his long and narrow eyes were bent, and he smiled at the person: "There is wine, the strongest kind."
The snow wasn't as heavy as before, but the wind picked up. Rong Zhao shrank into Zhou Ye's arms and continued, "Unfortunately, Su Jiaze has a gun on him. I have no choice but to go with him."
"Even if there is a gun, he is still not my opponent. I snatched his gun when he was unprepared." Rong Zhao took a gun out of his pocket, "This is it, I will let the physical evidence later." Let’s check whether it has appeared in previous crime scenes.”
Zhou Ye: "Meet Lin Hongze as soon as possible, and let him send someone to take Su Jiaze away."
Rong Zhao nodded, and looked up at Zhou Ye as he walked, "I thought I couldn't watch the first snow this winter with you."
"Fortunately, we caught up," Rong Zhao looked at the crystal clear ice edges falling from the treetops on the roadside, knelt down and held a handful of snow, which formed a snowball, and smiled slightly, "There are still eleven Today is the wedding."
The snow stopped slowly, and the whole world was still a vast expanse of whiteness, but it was silent but no longer lonely.
The last flake of snow fell on Rong Zhao's eyelashes, and quickly turned into a drop of water. Zhou Ye lowered his head and kissed the drop of water away, and took out a small black box from his pocket.
He took out a ring from the box, half-kneeled on the snow, held Rong Zhao's left hand, and looked up into his eyes: "Marry me."
Seeing that Rong Zhao didn't speak, Zhou Ye explained anxiously: "It's my fault. I should have proposed to you earlier. The ring was only brought back yesterday. Don't be angry."
There are no flowers or candlelight dinners here, only the wind blowing harder and harder, Zhou Ye scratched his head anxiously, and said like a bandit: "You are already in my bed, you have to marry if you don't marry."
The voice softened again: "Then...or else, please, I beg you to marry me, is that okay?"
Gritting her teeth again, she said in a low voice, "Next time, let you be on top next time, I promise to keep my word."
Zhou Ye grabbed Rong Zhao's hand, put the ring on his left ring finger, put it on his lips and kissed it: "Whether it's this life or the next life, you are mine forever."
Rong Zhao helped Zhou Ye up from the snow, his ears were slightly red: "What's the rush, I didn't say I won't marry you."
Zhou Ye got up from the snow, raised his eyes, and suddenly pushed Rong Zhao away forcefully.
With a "bang", the gunshot shattered the tranquility of the snowy ground. In the distance, Su Jiaze held a gun in his hand.
He knew he couldn't survive, he didn't want to die alone, he didn't want to go to hell alone.
He had to take Rong Zhao away, if he couldn't take away alive, he would take away the dead.It was his wish to die with Rong Zhao.
Su Jiaze raised the gun again and pulled the trigger.
It's a pity that he has no chance, Zhou Ye is one step ahead of him.
With a "bang", Su Jiaze fell down, blood stained the snow on the ground red, like a large expanse of blooming poppies, he took one last look at Rong Zhao, and couldn't close his eyes until he died.
Rong Zhao held Zhou Ye in his arms, and felt a bloodstain behind his back.
Su Jiaze's first shot at him was blocked by Zhou Ye.
Rong Zhao sat on the ground and hugged Zhou Ye, looked down at the blood on his hand, trembling, wanted to blame and question him, but was reluctant to explode: "Lin Hongze didn't tell you that I
When the roses bloom all over the wall in May next year, it will be a beautiful scene in the world again.
When Rong Zhao returned home, the wedding planner and workers had already arrived.
Workers were building ladders and making shelves, and by the morning of the wedding, these arched shelves were all adorned with the freshest flowers.
The wedding planner saw Rong Zhao, came over with a notebook in his arms, smiled and said, "Morning, Mr. Rong." After speaking, he showed Rong Zhao the renderings on his computer.
While explaining: "The guests use pure white chairs, leaving a two-meter-wide aisle in the middle for laying the red carpet."
"Of course, we won't use a real red carpet. It doesn't match a lawn wedding. Instead, we will use big red rose petals. From the gate to the ceremony stage, we will lay a road full of red makeup. What do you think?"
Rong Zhao smiled slightly and nodded: "You have worked hard."
Not long after, Ye Qian came. She was on vacation today and came here specially to see Rong Zhao.
Rong Zhao asked Ye Qian for help, communicated with the wedding planner about other details, walked to the middle of the yard by himself, and helped the workers set up a shelf.
Like Ye Qian, this wedding planner is a senior rotten girl. The two had a good chat, covering their mouths and secretly laughing from time to time.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Rong Zhao went back to the study, took out a pocket spring knife from a small cabinet, put it in his pocket, turned around and walked out of the room.
Rong Zhao went downstairs and said to Aunt Zhao that she was going out by herself and would not eat lunch at home, so she asked her to entertain Ye Qian and the other guests.
Aunt Zhao stopped Rong Zhao at the door of the living room: "Are you having dinner at home?"
After Rong Zhao changed his shoes, he stood there for a moment, then turned his head and smiled, "It depends."
Aunt Zhao still wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to spoil the surprise marriage proposal that the elder master had prepared for the younger master, so she kept her mouth shut.
Rong Zhao walked out of the yard, glanced at the lawn wedding under construction, paused for a while on the big "囍" character in the middle of the lawn, turned and walked out the door.
After confirming the protection plan and action plan with Lin Hongze again and again, Rong Zhao took out his mobile phone and called Su Jiaze: "I have thought about it, and I am willing to accept your proposal."
"I don't want the video in your hand to fall into the hands of the police. You give me the video, and I will go with you."
What Rong Zhao was talking about was the video on Su Jiaze's cell phone that he stabbed Xu Yunliang in the heart with a knife on a rainy night six years ago.
Rong Zhao knew that Xu Yunliang's death had nothing to do with him, but Su Jiaze didn't.
No matter what Su Jiaze thinks about him, it doesn't matter whether he is afraid of murder and going to jail, or because he wants to get the evidence in his hands, Rong Zhao's purpose is to get close to him and get the evidence.
Su Jiaze was very happy when he heard Rong Zhao's words: "Where are you, I'll pick you up."
In fact, he knew very well in his heart that Rong Zhao was willing to go with him, probably because of the evidence in his hand.
It doesn't matter, as long as Rong Zhao is taken abroad, he will never let him back.
Su Jiaze hid the criminal evidence, like holding a knife hanging over his head, but he had to do it, this is a knife, but also a piece of bait, a piece of bait to catch Rong Zhao out and take away.
After giving the address, Rong Zhao hung up the phone, checked the location tracker on his body, and even asked Lin Hongze for a body armor to wear under his sweater to protect himself well.
Soon, a black Cayenne stopped at the entrance of the rose garden, Rong Zhao opened the door and got on the car.
Seeing Rong Zhao, Su Jiaze saw that he was wearing a black down jacket, and smiled slightly: "You used to be the most beautiful, and you were the one who cared about demeanor but not warmth, so I haven't seen you wearing a down jacket."
Rong Zhao hummed, but did not answer Su Jiaze's words.
When the car left the Rose Garden, Rong Zhao said, "I'm going with you because I don't want to be arrested by the police and go to jail. I haven't promised or promised you anything. Please understand that."
Su Jiaze said in a deep voice while driving, "I know, I won't force you."
If he wanted to force him, he would have taken him away six years ago. What he wanted was for him to become the same person as him, so that they could be together forever, and no one could do without the other.
"Just leave like this, aren't you afraid that that lunatic Zhou Ye will come after you?"
Rong Zhao looked out the car window: "I chose to go with you because I didn't want him to know that I killed someone. I didn't want him to be disappointed in me. Compared to leaving him, I'm more afraid that he won't like me anymore."
Su Jiaze's face darkened: "You really like him very much."
Rong Zhao didn't deny it, and everyone knew a lot of things.
While waiting for the red light, Su Jiaze turned to look at Rong Zhao, with deep greed in his eyes: "I will make you forget him."
The car drove straight forward, and soon drove out of Dongyu City.Rong Zhao asked, "Where are you taking me?"
Su Jiaze said while speeding up, "You'll know when you get there."
He glanced at the rearview mirror: "There are policemen following behind, get rid of them later."
Rong Zhao looked at Su Jiaze: "Aren't you going back to the hotel to pack your things?"
Su Jiaze shook his head: "Those are useless things, you don't need them." His luggage has already been packed, but it's not here.
Rong Zhao didn't ask any more questions.
The car quickly drove out of Dongyu City. At noon, Su Jiaze parked the car at the expressway service area, got out and bought a few bottles of mineral water, and brought Rong Zhao a cup of milk tea: "Do you want strawberry cake or a box lunch? It's all ready."
Rong Zhao: "Cake."
Su Jiaze sat in the driver's seat and watched Rong Zhao eat, but he didn't eat. He just kept looking at Rong Zhao, as if he couldn't get enough of it.
Rong Zhao didn't care about Su Jiaze, he should eat and drink, and conserve his energy so that he could deal with Su Jiaze slowly.
Su Jiaze drank some water and started the car.
The car was driving very fast on the expressway, already exceeding the speed limit, Rong Zhao didn't want to kill Su Jiaze before he got the evidence from Su Jiaze, married Zhou Ye, and died in a car accident first: "Slow down."
Su Jiaze looked in the rearview mirror: "Wait until I get rid of the policeman behind." After speaking, he stepped on the gas pedal again.
As long as Rong Zhao is by his side, Su Jiaze is not afraid of death, even if he dies, it is his honor to die with Rong Zhao.
Rong Zhao didn't want to go crazy with Su Jiaze, he couldn't let himself die here, so he could only say: "Stop in front, I'll drive."
"I used to be a policeman. I know the way they stalk people best. I know how to get rid of them."
--
Zhou Ye was interrogating the suspect. He was a hard nut to crack. He interrogated the suspect for two or three hours.
Once out of the interrogation room, Fan Yao handed over Zhou Ye's cell phone: "Several calls came in just now."
Zhou Ye glanced at it, it was someone from Zhou's family whom he sent out to monitor Su Jiaze, saying that Rong Zhao had gotten into Su Jiaze's car and was nowhere to be seen now.
Zhou Ye made a phone call to Rong Zhao, and it showed that the phone was turned off.
Since the last kennel incident, Rong Zhao has never turned off his mobile phone. Even when he is sleeping in the middle of the night, or going out for a walk after dinner, Rong Zhao always turns on his mobile phone, for fear that Zhou Ye will be anxious if he can't find him.
Zhou Ye frowned, thought for a moment, then turned and went to the office of the Second Criminal Investigation Team.
Lin Hongze was sitting in front of three computers, one of which displayed the tracker on Rong Zhao's body. The red markers kept flashing on the traffic map, and the progress was extremely fast.
The other two computers are highway monitoring screens. The deputy team pointed to the screens and said anxiously: "Su Jiaze drove out from the highway. Look at the direction you're heading. It's not good for our tracking."
Lin Hongze leaned back in his chair, staring at the computer screen: "It's not Su Jiaze who drives, it's Rong Zhao."
The only one who could get rid of the police under strict surveillance was Rong Zhao who knew the "invisibility technique", Su Jiaze didn't have that ability.
Wang Jinghua stood up from the chair: "What should I do, should I send someone to intercept it in front?"
Deputy team: "Fortunately, Rong Zhao has a tracker on him." They just need Su Jiaze to arrive at the foothold, receive a signal from Rong Zhao, and take down the person and the evidence in one fell swoop.
Zhou Ye kicked open the door of the office of the second team, walked in front of Lin Hongze with a sullen face, grabbed him from the chair, and asked loudly, "Whose plan?"
Lin Hongze tidied up the clothes messed up by Zhou Ye: "Rong Zhao asked for it."
Zhou Ye turned around and looked at the computer screen, his face getting worse and worse, and the people around him didn't dare to say anything at all.
"I'm going there in person, are you going?" Lin Hongze tried to comfort Zhou Ye, "Rong Zhao has performed more dangerous tasks than this before, you have to trust him."
Zhou Ye turned his head and looked at Lin Hongze. The anger in his eyes had not dissipated. He clenched his fist and slammed it on the table with a "bang" sound: "Su Jiaze is a lunatic."
The whole office fell into silence.
Lin Hongze stepped forward: "Do you know why he is going?"
Lin Hongze walked to the computer screen and looked at the moving location tracker that was constantly flashing on the screen: "He said, he wants to marry you properly, and he wants to live a stable and peaceful life."
Zhou Ye felt a pain in his heart. He should have been the one to do the dangerous thing of clearing obstacles, and he should have been the one to protect and guard him.
Rong Zhao has suffered too much.
These days, Su Jiaze was followed by not only the police, but also people sent by Zhou Ye from the Zhou family. He originally thought that when he was busy with the case at hand, he would spare time to clean up Su Jiaze.
He was still one step behind Rong Zhao.
Zhou Ye got into the car, holding a laptop in his hand, watching the flickering tracker, with a few maps of the city and neighboring cities scattered in his hand.
Lin Hongze drove the car himself, followed by three police cars, and drove out of the city bureau gate together.
"We suspect that Su Jiaze is going to take Rong Zhao to smuggle to Germany by waterway," Lin Hongze said while driving, "There is a small fishing village at the junction of Dongyu City and Linyang City. Many people like to smuggle from there, and there are many snakeheads , has formed a considerable industrial chain.”
Zhou Ye watched the tracker on the screen head towards the fishing village. He took out his mobile phone and contacted the local police station in the fishing village and the nearby water police.
Su Jiaze stopped the car suddenly, turned to look at Rong Zhao: "I'm afraid that the police will install a tracker on you, let me check it for you and remove it, so that they won't disturb us."
"I'll do it myself." Rong Zhao touched himself, found a button-sized tracker from the interlayer of the down jacket pocket, raised his hand and threw it out the window.
He had communicated with Lin Hongze before meeting Su Jiaze, and guessed that Su Jiaze would bring him to the fishing village to smuggle him. Even if he lost the tracker, Lin Hongze would still be able to find him.
It was some distance away from the fishing village, and it took another hour to arrive by car.
Su Jiaze parked the car in the fishing village, opened the door for Rong Zhao, looked down at the time and said, "If you hurry up, you can leave tonight."
It's already five o'clock in the afternoon, and it gets dark early in winter, and the sky looks like it's going to get dark.
The sky was cloudy, with many clouds, but it was not dull. A gust of evening wind blew over, and it blew the windows of someone nearby.
This is called drawer wind, which is caused by unstable air flow and is a sign before snowfall.
Rong Zhao zipped up his down jacket and put his hands in his pockets to keep himself warm.
It would be bad if it snowed today. Last time he told Zhou Ye that he must be with him on the first snow of this year, watch snow, have snowball fights, and make snowmen with him.
It seldom snows in Jiangnan. If it really snowed after all, and he was not with Zhou Ye, it would be a pity to think about it.
Rong Zhao looked around, the fishing village in front of him was not too big, most of the houses were old and built along the coast.Fishing nets and other fishing tools are hung in front of and behind the house.
There are large and small boats parked on the shore in the distance, some are smaller wooden ones, some are made of high-tech materials, and there are one or two luxurious ones.
Su Jiaze walked Rong Zhao into the fishing village, and said, "When we get to Germany, let's go fishing together."
Rong Zhao didn't speak, and Su Jiaze didn't mind. He continued on his own, "We'll have dinner here. I've ordered someone to prepare it in advance. After eating, pack up your things and get on the boat around ten o'clock in the evening."
When they arrived at the door of a fisherman's house, Su Jiaze knocked on the door. A middle-aged woman came and opened the door. Seeing Su Jiaze and Rong Zhao, she looked around again before letting them in.
With a cautious and sneaky appearance, it can be seen that he is engaged in smuggling business.
Su Jiaze brought Rong Zhao into the side room connected to the main house, told him to sit down and rest, then asked the woman just now for a charcoal stove, and put it in the middle of the room to warm Rong Zhao's hands.
Su Jiaze sat beside Rong Zhao, warming himself by the fire, looked at Rong Zhao and said, "I remember one winter, you gave me a pair of gloves, smoke gray, with a black hook line, do you remember?"
Rong Zhao shook his head, with no emotion on his face: "I don't remember."
Su Jiaze was not embarrassed either, he smiled and said, "I'll show it to you later, and you'll definitely remember it."
Rong Zhao turned his head and looked at the room.The room is not big, about fifteen or six square meters, with two single beds side by side next to the wall, and two simple wardrobes next to the bed, which are usually used by stowaways.
Su Jiaze's luggage is not here, but it is well hidden.
"Bang bang bang", there was a knock on the door, and the woman who let them in before pushed the door open and looked inside, "It's time to eat."
Su Jiaze took Rong Zhao out and came to the main house.
The dining table was placed in the middle of the main room. A dozen dishes were placed on a dark red round table. There were already several people sitting at the table, mostly young men.
The woman watched Su Jiaze and Rong Zhao sit down, and at the same time called to the kitchen inside: "Girl, bring two more sets of bowls and chopsticks."
A little girl came out of the kitchen. She had short hair and was wearing a handmade floral padded jacket. Her cheeks were flushed by the winter sea breeze. She looked only seven or eight years old and looked very good.
A guest sneezed accidentally, the little girl handed him a pack of tissues, then ran to the inner room with a thump, came back with a pack of cold medicine in her hand, handed it to the guest and left, don’t bother money.
Rong Zhao looked at the meals on the table, most of them were seafood, mixed with some vegetables and beef and mutton, all served on large plates.
After dinner, everyone dispersed, Su Jiaze took Rong Zhao back to the original room, and the two sat in front of the charcoal stove to warm up.
Rong Zhao finally waited until Su Jiaze stood up and said to him: "I'll go and get my luggage, you wait here for me, don't wander around, we should be leaving in two hours or so."
Su Jiaze had been away for a long time this time, and he came back an hour later. When he came back and saw Rong Zhao, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes, as if he had found some extremely precious treasure after losing it.
Su Jiaze was on guard against Rong Zhao, but also wanted him to stay by his side willingly.
Rong Zhao didn't leave, whether it was because he didn't want to leave or because he didn't get what he wanted, as long as this person was still there, he was very happy.
Su Jiaze didn't have much luggage, only a black travel bag.
He opened the door and came in, and a gust of cold wind blew in, with a few snow particles caught in the wind.
Rong Zhao raised his eyes and glanced at Su Jiaze, and saw him put his travel bag on the table next to him.
Rong Zhao noticed that a small reed feather had fallen behind Su Jiaze's shoulder.It is guessed that the stronghold he used to put things needs to pass through a reed field.
"Is it cold?" Su Jiaze sat by the fire and warmed his hands. He stood up again after not sitting for 2 minutes. "I'm going to get some hot water. You warm your hands with it, and it will make you feel better while drinking."
Rong Zhao hummed, but still didn't say much, he didn't talk much, especially with Su Jiaze.
Not long after, Su Jiaze came back holding a glass, the water in the glass was steaming: "It's snowing."
Rong Zhao took the water glass and warmed it in his hand.
Su Jiaze: "I'll go out for a while and leave in 10 minutes. You stay indoors and don't go anywhere."
After Su Jiaze opened the door and went out, Rong Zhao got up and put the glass on the table, and saw Su Jiaze walking out of the yard through the crack of the door.
He turned around and walked to the table, and unzipped the travel bag. Inside were a few changes of underwear, a few packs of disposable ones, probably for him, and a few packs of fruit candies, probably as well. For him.
At the bottom of the travel bag was a small iron box about [-] centimeters long and [-] centimeters wide, which was locked.
If Su Jiaze hid something, he could only put it in this iron box.
Rong Zhao was so focused on looking for something that he didn't notice a pair of gloomy eyes staring at him behind his back.
Su Jiaze didn't intend to go out at all, he turned back early, and he has been looking at Rong Zhao.
Rong Zhao picked up the iron box and was about to leave, when he turned around and saw Su Jiaze opened the door and walked in.
Su Jiaze closed the door and walked towards Rong Zhao step by step, with a trace of resentment flashing in his eyes: "I didn't want to do anything to you, but you let me down so much."
……
Zhou Ye and the others parked their car outside the fishing village. When they got out of the car, a layer of white had already accumulated on the ground, and snowflakes were falling down one after another.
The tracker on Rong Zhao's body was removed, so they could only hide in the dark and search one by one.
Many people in this village are in the smuggling business, and they will cover up each other, and will report if they find something wrong.
Zhou Ye and a police officer pretended to be people who wanted to smuggle out of the country, and knocked on the door of a house.
The person who opened the door was an old man with a gray beard and a cane in his hand. He looked very old: "Who are you looking for?"
Zhou Ye was holding a bag in his hand, and said anxiously, "Old man, is there a boat going out tonight?"
The old man looked at Zhou Ye. He had lived here for a long time, and he was used to seeing this kind of people sneaking over in the middle of the night. Most of them had committed crimes and wanted to escape overnight, or they wanted to work abroad.
The old man asked vigilantly, "Didn't you contact me in advance?"
Zhou Ye: "I contacted a person named Wang Liu before, but for some reason, I suddenly couldn't get in touch, and I was trapped here, and I couldn't leave even if I wanted to."
On the way here, Zhou Ye got some information about the snakeheads from the police station here. This man named Wang Liu was arrested by the police two days ago, and he happened to be used here.
When the old man heard the name of a familiar person, most of the vigilance in his eyes faded away. He didn't say anything about Wang Liu being taken away, but said, "There is something wrong with Wang Liu's family and he can't leave. Go back."
Zhou Ye turned his head and looked around, wiped off the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and said in an anxious tone: "Could you please contact someone else, it's best to leave tonight, I'll pay three times the price .”
After speaking, he took out 1000 yuan from his pocket and secretly stuffed it into the old man's hand.
The old man put the money into his pocket, hesitated and said, "Let me ask for you."
The old man closed the door, locked Zhou Ye and the others out, and talked on the phone in the yard by himself. After a while, he opened the door and said, "You guys are lucky, there are two ships going to Germany, but only There is only one seat left, and only one person can go."
The little police officer was very clever, and immediately said to Zhou Ye: "Boss, you go first, I will take the boat tomorrow, and I will look for you as soon as I arrive at the place."
The old man glanced at the time: "The boat departs at ten o'clock, hurry up, there are still 10 minutes left, and you can still catch up if you run quickly."
As he spoke, he pointed towards the seaside: "I saw the lights over there, let's go."
Zhou Ye threw the travel bag in his hand to the little policeman, turned around, and quickly ran towards the light.He ran to the place in only 5 minutes, but the boat left ahead of schedule.
The sea was calm and calm, and there was not even a shadow of a boat in sight.
Zhou Ye tried his best to calm himself down, took out his mobile phone and called the marine police. The person in charge said that the smuggling boat had been stopped and was being arrested.
Zhou Ye stood on the shore and looked at the sea level in the distance. The lighthouse on the sea surface was shining brightly, illuminating the water surface with sparkling light.
Snowflakes fell one after another, and were swallowed by the boundless sea in an instant.
With the marine police around, Zhou Ye wasn't worried that the boat would go out to sea. He was afraid that Su Jiaze would jump over the wall and drag Rong Zhao to his death.
If he were Su Jiaze, when he was desperate, he would definitely drag Rong Zhao down, if he couldn't live, if he couldn't live together, he would drag Rong Zhao to die together.
How could Su Jiaze not like dying in the same sea with the person he loved the most on a snowy night.
Zhou Ye stood on the shore, his thoughts gradually being engulfed in gray, he clenched his teeth tightly, clenched his hands into fists, and looked at the distant sea with red eyes.
The mobile phone finally rang, and the marine police called, saying that all the people on the two boats were under control, and no one was missing or injured. However, Su Jiaze and Rong Zhao were not found on board.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ye turned around and looked at the small fishing village behind him. Lin Hongze called and said that he had led people to surround the whole fishing village: "Su Jiaze's car was found at the entrance of the fishing village, he should still be in the village .”
The police sealed off the village on land, and the marine police rounded it up in the sea, so Su Jiaze couldn't escape.
Zhou Ye was most worried about Rong Zhao, as long as Rong Zhao was still with Su Jiaze, he would not be able to relax.
From going to work in the morning to parting with Rong Zhao, it has only been fourteen hours, but he feels like three months have passed, and every minute and every second is very difficult.
Zhou Ye gripped the gun on his waist, his dark eyes sank, he turned and walked into the fishing village.
A woman opened the gate of the yard, poked her head out and looked outside, and saw the police cordoning off the edge of the fishing village. She was familiar with this scene. There were so many stowaways here, it was not surprising that the police would come.
Her family has never fished, and they rely on those stowaways to come to eat and house to make money. Many people here are like this. Therefore, they don't like the police coming, and they don't actively cooperate. They feel that they are disturbing their lives and cutting off their lives. money.
Behind the woman stood a short-haired little girl about seven or eight years old. The little girl's face was flushed by the wind, and she also looked out through the crack of the door. The woman pulled her back and whispered, "Don't look, go back to sleep. "
The little girl raised her head: "Mom, I want to go out and play."
The woman closed the door and scolded: "It's so chaotic outside, what are you playing, come in!"
The little girl was locked in the house. She looked into the main room and saw that her mother was cleaning up the house and the kitchen, and her father was not at home, so she went back to her room, closed the door, and climbed out of the window.
The little girl ran around the house and hit a person as she ran outside the cordon, nearly falling to the ground.
She looked up, and was startled by the gloomy expression on this adult's face, and hurried forward.
Zhou Ye carried the little girl over, took out his phone, and put Rong Zhao's photo in front of her eyes: "Have you seen this person?"
The little girl looked up at Zhou Ye, her big eyes rolled around, as if she was sizing up and hesitating about something.
Zhou Ye could see that this little girl must have seen Rong Zhao.
"I'm a policeman, not a bad guy. I'm here to save people. Where have you seen this uncle?"
The little girl confirmed that Zhou Ye was not a bad person, and took out half a reed feather from her pocket and handed it over: "It was left by that uncle, don't tell my mother that I gave it to you, or she will beat me up." After speaking, she turned and ran away. up.
An hour ago, Su Jiaze discovered that Rong Zhao was going through his travel bag, knowing that Rong Zhao would never go on board with him anyway, so he asked someone to tie him up.
Rong Zhao's current situation made Su Jiaze have to suspect that the police were already on their way, and the waterway would not be safe.
Before being kidnapped, Rong Zhao threw half a reed feather that he had taken from Su Jiaze on the ground, and his eyes collided with the little girl who was playing with snow in the yard.
He bet she was a kind and sensible child.
Zhou Ye watched the back of the little girl disappearing into the night.
There are indeed bad people in this world, just because one person is bad does not mean that all people are bad.Where there is a dirty and despicable heart, there will naturally be a pure and kind one.
Zhou Ye returned to Lin Hongze and the others, telling them to pay attention to the reeds by the sea and river.
There is a small river where it meets the sea. The small river is the most suitable place for reeds to grow. Zhou Ye led people to rush there.
There are reeds growing along the river, extending for two to 300 meters along the river.
A police officer handed over a pair of long black rubber shoes, but Zhou Ye didn't take them. The rubber shoes were waterproof and frostproof, but they were too clumsy to get in the way.
Zhou Ye jumped off the embankment and waded into the bitterly cold water in December, holding a flashlight in one hand and an electric baton in the other, and searched among the reeds.
The reeds were thick and dense, taller than a person, and Zhou Ye's face was scratched with bloodstains, but he didn't realize it.
Finally, Zhou Ye found a hole behind a clump of reeds, just enough for a person to pass through.
He squatted down and shined the ground with a flashlight. There were two pairs of footprints, one of which belonged to Rong Zhao. He recognized the patterns on the soles of that pair of shoes, which were exactly the same as those on his feet. They were lovers' shoes.
The tunnel was very long, so Zhou Ye quickened his pace and ran for more than ten minutes before reaching the exit, which was already outside the fishing village.
Su Jiaze has already escaped from the fishing village with Rong Zhao.
"I found it," a police officer shouted while shining a flashlight on the ground, "it's blood."
There was a layer of white snow on the ground, and a large piece of blood on it was particularly eye-catching, and a few drops of blood were sprinkled intermittently in front of it.
Zhou Ye squatted down and took a look: "They shouldn't have gone far."
Wang Jinghua followed Zhou Ye all the time, and said worriedly: "Brother Rong is going to be okay after bleeding so much?"
As Zhou Ye walked forward, he picked up the flashlight and shone it on the ground: "How do you know it's not Su Jiaze's?"
Wang Jinghua could tell that Zhou Ye wasn't blaming her for talking nonsense, he really believed in Rong Zhao.
Worrying but still believing.
Wang Jinghua hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Brother Rong is so powerful, he will definitely be fine."
After walking forward for more than ten meters, the bloodstains disappeared, and the footprints on the ground were covered with snow, so everyone moved in groups of two and continued to search.
Zhou Ye kept going forward. His hands and feet were soaked in cold water and stepped on the snow. He was almost frozen to death. The wound on his face that was blown by the reed branches and leaves was blown by the wind, as if he had sprinkled salt on it. , It should have hurt, but he didn't feel it.
Zhou Ye stood in the middle of a snowy field, the sky and the ground were white, the snowflakes fluttered one after another, falling on the people's heads and clothes, the surrounding voices gradually disappeared, the sky and the ground were silent, only the vast and lonely white remained.
After another half an hour, Zhou Ye had already separated from the search team, and even his mobile phone had no signal, and it automatically shut down at low temperature.
Zhou Ye put the mobile phone under his clothes and covered it. The down jacket is not enough, so he needs to put it under the sweater.
The black wool vest on his body was given to him by Rong Zhao this morning.
Zhou Ye tried to turn on the phone, but still couldn't.
He threw his phone to the ground, he didn't want to contact anyone, he just missed Rong Zhao too much, and wanted to see his photo.
He bent down again and picked up the phone. There were many photos of Rong Zhao in it, so he couldn't bear to throw it away.
Zhou Ye picked up the phone and looked up, and saw a figure walking towards him in the snow, calling his name: "Zhou Ye."
The black down jacket on Rong Zhao was gone, and the white sweater was stained with a lot of blood. He seemed to have little strength, and his steps were strenuous.
Zhou Ye ran towards Rong Zhao and said hoarsely, "Stay there and don't move."
When there was only two or three meters between them, Rong Zhao smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not injured." The blood on his body belonged to Su Jiaze.
Zhou Ye hugged Rong Zhao tightly. Only by holding him in his arms can he feel at ease and believe that he has really returned safely.
Rong Zhao thumped Zhou Ye's back: "The hug is too tight, I can't breathe."
Zhou Ye took off his down jacket, put it on for Rong Zhao, held his face, and tremblingly said, "I'm sorry."
He once said, don't let him suffer any more.
Rong Zhao smiled, and raised his hand to stroke the snowflakes off Zhou Ye's hair: "It's me who insisted on running out, which made you worry."
Zhou Ye grabbed a handful of snow from the ground, rubbed Rong Zhao's hands with the snow, and wiped off the blood on his hands.
"Su Jiaze asked someone to tie me up," Rong Zhao said as he followed Zhou Ye forward, "After we came out of the reed cave, there were only two of us left."
"I cut the rope with the spring knife hidden on my body, injured his leg, and took away the evidence he carried with him."
Although Rong Zhao was very tired and weak, his voice was clear and clear, his eyes were shining brightly, his chin was slightly raised, like a little general who had won a battle.
Zhou Ye turned his head to look at Rong Zhao, and remembered the high-spirited Rong Zhao he saw in the photo six years ago.
Looking at the person in front of him, the picture scroll appeared in Zhou Ye's mind again.
The boy in white got on his horse, the wind and snow stained his clothes, and the muddy water splashed his shoes, but he didn't care at all.Galloping across the mountains, rivers and plains, the young man stopped his horse, his long and narrow eyes were bent, and he smiled at the person: "There is wine, the strongest kind."
The snow wasn't as heavy as before, but the wind picked up. Rong Zhao shrank into Zhou Ye's arms and continued, "Unfortunately, Su Jiaze has a gun on him. I have no choice but to go with him."
"Even if there is a gun, he is still not my opponent. I snatched his gun when he was unprepared." Rong Zhao took a gun out of his pocket, "This is it, I will let the physical evidence later." Let’s check whether it has appeared in previous crime scenes.”
Zhou Ye: "Meet Lin Hongze as soon as possible, and let him send someone to take Su Jiaze away."
Rong Zhao nodded, and looked up at Zhou Ye as he walked, "I thought I couldn't watch the first snow this winter with you."
"Fortunately, we caught up," Rong Zhao looked at the crystal clear ice edges falling from the treetops on the roadside, knelt down and held a handful of snow, which formed a snowball, and smiled slightly, "There are still eleven Today is the wedding."
The snow stopped slowly, and the whole world was still a vast expanse of whiteness, but it was silent but no longer lonely.
The last flake of snow fell on Rong Zhao's eyelashes, and quickly turned into a drop of water. Zhou Ye lowered his head and kissed the drop of water away, and took out a small black box from his pocket.
He took out a ring from the box, half-kneeled on the snow, held Rong Zhao's left hand, and looked up into his eyes: "Marry me."
Seeing that Rong Zhao didn't speak, Zhou Ye explained anxiously: "It's my fault. I should have proposed to you earlier. The ring was only brought back yesterday. Don't be angry."
There are no flowers or candlelight dinners here, only the wind blowing harder and harder, Zhou Ye scratched his head anxiously, and said like a bandit: "You are already in my bed, you have to marry if you don't marry."
The voice softened again: "Then...or else, please, I beg you to marry me, is that okay?"
Gritting her teeth again, she said in a low voice, "Next time, let you be on top next time, I promise to keep my word."
Zhou Ye grabbed Rong Zhao's hand, put the ring on his left ring finger, put it on his lips and kissed it: "Whether it's this life or the next life, you are mine forever."
Rong Zhao helped Zhou Ye up from the snow, his ears were slightly red: "What's the rush, I didn't say I won't marry you."
Zhou Ye got up from the snow, raised his eyes, and suddenly pushed Rong Zhao away forcefully.
With a "bang", the gunshot shattered the tranquility of the snowy ground. In the distance, Su Jiaze held a gun in his hand.
He knew he couldn't survive, he didn't want to die alone, he didn't want to go to hell alone.
He had to take Rong Zhao away, if he couldn't take away alive, he would take away the dead.It was his wish to die with Rong Zhao.
Su Jiaze raised the gun again and pulled the trigger.
It's a pity that he has no chance, Zhou Ye is one step ahead of him.
With a "bang", Su Jiaze fell down, blood stained the snow on the ground red, like a large expanse of blooming poppies, he took one last look at Rong Zhao, and couldn't close his eyes until he died.
Rong Zhao held Zhou Ye in his arms, and felt a bloodstain behind his back.
Su Jiaze's first shot at him was blocked by Zhou Ye.
Rong Zhao sat on the ground and hugged Zhou Ye, looked down at the blood on his hand, trembling, wanted to blame and question him, but was reluctant to explode: "Lin Hongze didn't tell you that I
