Neverland

The city bureau was in a mess, the ambulance stopped at the door, and the siren blared non-stop. Qin Huai's failed body was covered with a white cloth and parked in the ambulance, waiting for the next treatment.

While putting the applied gun into the holster, Zhang Yue hurried down the steps and strode out.

Xu Muzhou and Shen Shuang went to collect evidence and search today, and neither of them was equipped with a gun. If they confronted Lin Yi who was running away with a gun, they might suffer a big loss.

Zhang Yue was so anxious that he led the team to meet Xu Muzhou, who knew that he was stopped by Qi Yuan who entered before he could walk out of the gate of the Municipal Bureau.

It was raining outside, Qi Yuan's windbreaker was covered with a thin layer of water mist, his hairstyle was a little messy, a few strands of hair were softly wet by the rain, and stuck to his side face.

"I don't have the time to receive you." Zhang Yue gestured to push him away, and said coldly, "If you want to report the crime, please go straight to the reporting hall."

Qi Yuan blocked Zhang Yue's hand, smiled and said to her: "I surrender myself."

Zhang Yue was taken aback.

Several police officers behind her also froze on the spot.

Qi Yuan calmly straightened his clothes and dropped another bomb.

"I know where the fifth child has gone." Qi Yuan said.

Zhang Yue looked at him suspiciously, a little unsure if this was a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain or some other trap, but the clues came to his door, so Zhang Yue put away the gun with his backhand, and signaled the others behind him to support Xu Mu first. continent.

Seeing this, Qi Yuan stretched out his hand to Zhang Yue, and smiled: "...Can we go in and sit down and talk now?"

Zhang Yue subconsciously wanted to notify Xu Muzhou, but it was only when he took out his mobile phone that he remembered that Xu Muzhou had been on the phone with Yan Cen to monitor the situation, while Shen Shuang's call was connected to the technical investigation side who was doing real-time positioning. There is no free line to answer her message.

So she had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and sent a concise text message to Xu Muzhou, hoping that he would read the message in his busy schedule.

A new SMS alert popped up on Xu Muzhou's lit screen, Xu Muzhou glanced at it and found that it was from Zhang Yue.

The SMS reminder only displayed the first two lines, Xu Muzhou only saw the news that Qi Yuan had surrendered himself, and the rest of the content was omitted.

Just as Xu Muzhou was about to reach out to click on the text message, he heard a shout from the microphone.

"You nonsense!" Lin Yi shouted, "This should have ended long ago!"

Xu Muzhou shook his hand and accidentally clicked delete.

"Of course, in your eyes, as long as we are all dead, this matter will be over." Yan Cen said.

Yan Cen's voice sounded a bit fuzzy, as if the microphone had been flooded.Xu Muzhou didn't know exactly where he put the phone, but the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and they were outdoors, so it was hard to guarantee how long the phone would last.

Xu Muzhou gritted his teeth, and asked Shen Shuang in a low voice: "...Have you found it?"

Shen was holding a tablet in both hands, with earphones on his ears, and was trying to synchronize the operations on the technical detection side. Hearing this, he nodded: "Come on, you're just procrastinating for a while... Ah, it's alright!"

Xu Muzhou didn't care to ask him to pay attention to the volume, so he hurriedly asked, "Where is it?"

"In——at Qi Yuan's company." Shen Shuang quickly said, "It's located in Chengmu Building."

On the roof of Chengmu Building, there was heavy wind and rain, and the increasing rain made both of them feel chilly. Lin Yi held up his gun and confronted Yan Cen. His finger was on the trigger, but he didn't know why he didn't dare to press it. go down.

——Do you think my sister is dead? This is what Yan Cen said to him half a minute ago.

"My sister may not be dead yet." Yan Cen said to himself: "The Second Municipal People's Hospital is very close to the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and the ambulance won't be available for five minutes - not to mention that there are some in the Municipal Bureau who can give first aid, so , Maybe my sister is still alive."

Yan Cen sounded like he was trying to persuade Lin Yi to turn around, but his expression was very strange. He put one hand in his coat pocket, and his face was full of mocking smiles.He raised his chin slightly, pointed at the muzzle of Ji Dong's gun with a half-smile, and took two steps in Ji Dong's direction.

But Ji Dong, who was holding a gun in his hand, seemed to be afraid of something, and was forced by him to step back.

"Impossible!" Lin Yi yelled at him sternly: "She must be dead—I killed her with my own hands! She must be dead. If she died, then it must be—"

Ji Dong raised his voice higher and higher, not as if he was sure, but as if he was using this way of venting his emotions to cover up his uneasiness.

"Xiao Yi——" Yan Cen interrupted Lin Yi again, he sighed and asked softly in a very sad tone: "——Am I still your dearest relative?"

As soon as Yan Cen finished speaking, his fingers in his pocket moved slightly, and he manually hung up the ongoing call.

Xu Muzhou only heard a sizzling sound, and the call was cut off neatly. He didn't know whether the phone lost its functionality due to water, or the phone was discovered by Ji Dong.

He hastily called up the call log and tried to call back, but only heard the cold shutdown notification sound on the other side.

Xu Muzhou was so anxious that he stepped on the gas pedal and shifted up another gear.

As soon as his call line was connected, a new call came in. Shen Shuang answered it for him, and found that it was a team member who was going to join him.

They seemed to know that Lin Yi was in Chengmu Building earlier than Xu Muzhou, saying that they had already gone there.

Without waiting for Xu Muzhou's order, Shen Shuang has already pulled out the navigation map with quick eyes and hands, and pointed out the locations of the people on both sides to Xu Muzhou.Xu Muzhou and the other team members are about the same location from Chengmu Building, and they can get there within 10 minutes by walking the main road, so Xu Muzhou didn't plan to take a detour, and just said to meet downstairs in the building.

Xu Muzhou drove the car as if it was about to fly, while trying to sort out the thoughts in his mind, he also remembered Zhang Yue's text message by chance, and asked Shen Shuang to call back to try.

But Zhang Yue did not answer the call. The phone vibrated crazily in her trouser pocket for a while. Zhang Yue leaned back on the chair and looked down at the call record. After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and pressed the hang up button. broken.

Interrupting the rhythm for no reason is the most taboo during the interrogation process, not to mention someone like Qi Yuan - he said now that he wants to "surrender himself", maybe he will change his mind at any time, so he can't take this risk.

"You said just now that you knew about Xu Kang's case?" Zhang Yue asked again, "To what extent do you know?"

"Anywhere." Qi Yuan said: "Including who the murderer is, and why the murderer killed him—"

"Who is the murderer?" Zhang Yue pressed step by step: "You said you know, does it prove that the murderer is someone else-then what is your relationship?"

"Haven't you always been curious about how many murderers there are in the 125 extra-large serial murder case?" Qi Yuan did not answer Zhang Yue's question, but continued: "There is only one Ace of Spades, but every person who dies is murderer."

The man in the suit and leather shoes smiled and leaned casually on the back of the chair. The cold handcuffs were wrapped around his wrists, but he didn't care at all. The thin poker cards, I looked at the suits for a while before turning over the cards with satisfaction and showing them to Zhang Yue.

——It was a king of spades.

"And I am the only judge." Qi Yuan said.

On the other side, Yan Cen on the rooftop slowly took out his mobile phone from his pocket and threw it a few meters away.

The fragile smartphone was smashed hard on the rough concrete floor, the back case fell apart, and the battery fell several meters away. It looked very miserable.

Yan Cen, who was no longer listening in on the call, reached out and stroked his drenched forehead hair, and began to show a sharp aggressiveness.

"You can shoot." Yan Cen said with a smile: "But what if you shoot and the game is not over, huh?"

Ji Dong's hand holding the handle of the gun tightened. He knew that Yan Cen was trying to seduce him intellectually, but his restless emotions could not control the possibility of what Yan Cen said.

——If Qin Huai is indeed alive, if I didn't kill the wrong person.

Yan Cen didn't stop walking, he spread his hands and walked over like Lin Yi step by step.

"Take a step back, you really killed my sister - did you receive the reminder?" Yan Cen said: "How do you know, isn't the game over already?"

Ji Dong opened his mouth and said, "Big Brother, Big Brother——"

"Brother is under the control of the police." Yan Cen said: "I know about this - I am always with the deputy team of the second team, don't you believe me?"

Ji Dong had already been pushed to the edge of the rooftop by him, but Yan Cen still didn't stop. He spread his hands, signaling that he was harmless, and approached Ji Dong step by step until the black muzzle of the gun hit his chest .

"Old five." Yan Cen said: "What is the condition for the end of the game, do you remember?"

His attitude was too calm, and Lin Yi couldn't help being led by the nose.

"Yes—it is to find the killer." Lin Yi said, "Then kill the killer."

From the corner of his eye, Yan Cen glanced at the iron gate of the rooftop not far away, and suddenly smiled.

Ji Dong was so terrified by his laughter, he asked loudly, "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing. I won this game in the end." Yan Cen suddenly reached out and grabbed the barrel of the gun, and pulled hard on his wrist, pulling Lin Yi in front of him, and instantly changed his position.

He accidentally rubbed off the cement block at Yan Cen's feet, and rolled down the edge of the roof without leaving a sound.

The sound of the wind whispered in Yan Cen's ears, half a step behind him was ten thousand feet high, the wind lifted his clothes high, and the whole thing was stuck on the fragile fence.

All this happened too fast, Lin Yi gripped the gun tightly, and Yan Cen inevitably pulled him in front of him. Before he could withdraw his hand, he heard a loud noise behind him.

—The iron gate was knocked open.

Yan Cen didn't bother to look behind him at all - he was very close to Lin Yi, and he was tightly holding the barrel of the gun in his hand, his whole body was completely blocked by Lin Yi, and he couldn't see anything.

But he heard familiar footsteps, and Xu Muzhou took the lead, as if running in the front.

"Leave the hostages down, you've—"

Before the shouting was over, Yan Cen first bent his eyes and showed a nasty smile.

There was a second loud bang amidst the chaotic rain.

Yan Cen approached Ji Dong and said in a word: "I am the killer."

Ji Dong was furious immediately, and subconsciously wanted to pull the trigger, but later realized that he had lost control of his body. His finger was still on the trigger, but he couldn't pull it even after mobilizing all his strength. Make a move.

He lowered his head in disbelief, only to realize that at some point, a huge flower of blood was gradually blooming on his chest, dyeing most of his shirt through in an instant.

——When criminals pose a serious threat to the lives of hostages, the police have the right to shoot them dead on the spot.

Lin Yi raised his head to look at Yan Cen, his eyes were full of surprise and anger left over from just now.

Xu Muzhou shouted loudly in the sound of rain, Yan Cen sighed again, and took a step back under the cover of Ji Dong.

——then he relaxed his body and leaned back with his hands flat.

The fragile guardrail was not enough to support the weight of a grown man. The stainless steel guardrail made a harsh buzzing sound, and was brought down by the entire row. The buckles were pulled out of the cement, and fell down together with Yan Cen's movements.

Two steps away, Xu Muzhou's pupils suddenly constricted, and at that moment he clearly felt the crazily beating heart in his chest.

Blood was pumped all over his body suddenly, Xu Muzhou's mind went blank, and his eyes suddenly went dark.

In that moment of chaos, Xu Muzhou's mind jingled a circle of reminders that the task was completed, and the temporarily deprived memory returned to his body because of the end of the task.

Xu Muzhou didn't even have the time to listen to the notification. At that moment, relying on his instinct, he almost unleashed his life's potential. He tried his best to pounce forward, but still made nothing, and watched Yan Cen fall down helplessly.

The rough concrete floor scratched the palm of his hand, the notification sound in Xu Muzhou's mind was still chattering and noisy, he stared blankly at the direction downstairs, and his mind went blank in an instant.
