Dazed

It was still a gray scene, and the wind and clouds were surging between the sky and the earth, covering the only light in the sky. Qi Zheng found himself standing in a straw field surrounded by dry rice more than two meters high. It covered his entire body, surrounded by densely packed poles, and when he looked up at the sky, he could only see a little gray the size of a fingernail, and he couldn't see the rest clearly.

The north wind was blowing, Qi Zheng was wearing a sweater and padded jacket, surrounded by a towel, with his mouth half-opened, panting heavily, as if he was not afraid of the cold standing in the straw field.

No, it's winter now, how could there be rice in winter, a strange feeling flashed in Qi Zheng's mind, suddenly, he heard a slight sound in his ears, as if someone was calling for help, but it didn't seem to be, the sparse straw shook around and made a sound. There was a rustling sound, and another gust of cold wind hit. In the icy air, Qi Zheng seemed to smell a faint smell of blood on the tip of his nose.

Dazed, as if attracted by something, Qi Zheng suddenly opened a gap in the dense straw bushes in front of him, a pair of staring eyes, bloodshot eyes were exposed from the gap, his head should be broken Now, the blood flowed down the forehead that was blocked from being seen, and flowed through the eyes, the black eyelashes were covered with blood beads, his eyes were bloodshot, staring straight at the straw that was separated by a piece of straw, and Qi Zheng, who was staring at him firmly, had a lot hidden in his eyes, which were very complicated, and seemed to be calm and nothing.

Qi Zheng stared blankly at the scene in front of him, and there seemed to be some hard objects hitting the flesh hard in his ears, making the sound of hammering meatballs, which was often made by the pork seller next door, accompanied by the sound of The heavy panting sound due to exertion - "hum", "hum", "hum"!

Not knowing how to deal with the situation in front of him, maybe because he instinctively sensed the danger, Qi Zheng was so frightened that he fell to the ground, his thin figure was hidden in the straw, but his face was still facing the pair of eyes that were looking through the grass. His eyes are hard to move away.

At this time, there was a sound in the grass, and Qi Zheng looked up subconsciously, and saw an impossibly tall middle-aged man, who was panting heavily, holding a brick in his left hand that was dripping with blood and glowing coldly, with blue veins The violent left hand was twisted into a tangled posture. After a while, as if to check whether the target was really dead, he bent down again, lowered his head, and carefully looked at the unlucky ghost in the grass. At that moment, Qi Zheng saw his face that was not fierce, and a shallow scar on his face was unforgettable.

With a click, Qi Zheng's eyes widened immediately. That face was older than his teens and twenties, with half a white beard on it, a pair of presbyopic glasses, and his waist bent, taking a breath after speaking a word. It's the same as it is now.

At this time, Qi Zheng suddenly heard a familiar voice, "Ao Zai!" "Ao Zai!" Unable to call her grandson back, Grandma Qi couldn't help calling Qi Zheng's name, "Qi Zheng! Qi Zheng!" "Where did the little brat go?"

Qi Zheng subconsciously turned his head to respond to her, but he didn't expect his eyes to stop, and met those bloodshot and already cold eyes. His eyes full of blood and obsession passed through a piece of grass, and broke into Qi Zheng's eyes. In Zheng's mind, at that moment, his mind went blank, his whole body seemed to be floating between the sky and the earth, he couldn't touch the edge, and only heard an inevitable sigh in his ear-"You are mine now. "

Immediately, Qi Zheng fell into infinite darkness, floating in the vast world, and all he could see was a decaying area, with half-drooped withered tree trunks all over his eyes, Qi Zheng felt that the scene in front of him seemed familiar, but it was so real. Can't remember where, when he was confused, suddenly there was a familiar call in his ear——

"Qi Zheng!"

Qi Zheng who was lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, his hair was half wet with cold sweat, Cao Jingxing's familiar face appeared in front of his eyes, and he said with a smile, "Why are you asleep?"

Qi Zheng's Adam's apple moved, and he opened his mouth to answer, but his throat was so dry that he couldn't even make a sound. Moreover, the moment he opened his mouth, he forgot what he wanted to say, and there was something in his eyes. , just those eyes that looked extremely familiar.

"Come on, come on, hurry up!"

At ten o'clock in the morning, three or four police officers were waving tools in the yard. They were digging a vegetable field, and the crooked Chinese cabbage next to them were uprooted and thrown aside randomly. The pit had already been dug half a meter deep. There was a patch of dirt in the pit, and nothing could be seen buried under it.

Wearing a shabby cotton jacket, Zhou Xianlei stood beside him expressionlessly, watching the group of people digging up his yard into a mess, without a single complaint, just standing beside him without any objection, letting them toss, the breeze swept him away. The corners of the clothes full of threads fluttered slightly, his complexion was gray and wandering, as if he was about to die soon.

Liu Peisheng was also standing beside him. Although his face was a little pale because of the days of running around, he still had some energy. Looking at the hot scene in front of him, he had a look of determination on his face. With so many days of tracking and so many years Zhou Xianlei is the number one suspect and has not run away. There are still some mysteries about Zhou Xianlei's brother, but every yard counts. Liu Peisheng has doubts in his heart, but he understands very well that as long as Liang Siyue is involved If he can break through his defensive line, let alone Zhou Zhengqi, I am afraid that even Duan Kouzhi's case will be revealed.

Success or failure depends on today's move. Liu Peisheng only hopes that his treasure is not wrong, and that something can be dug out from the bottom of this cabbage pit. Otherwise, their work these days will be nothing but a bamboo basket.

Just as the north was whistling and Liu Peisheng was spinning various ideas in his mind, the people at the bottom of the pit suddenly let out a soft cry.

Liu Peisheng stepped forward and looked, good guy, Zhang Qishen was holding a few broken bones in his hand and was looking at them, while Aaron was still digging in the mud over there, obviously there were more than one or two bones in the pit.

"Aaron, Xiao Zhang, you two continue to dig here, collect the bones, and send them to the laboratory to see what the bones are. For the rest, escort Zhou Xianlei back to the bureau."

After roaring vigorously and vigorously, Liu Peisheng didn't even look at Zhou Xianlei, and strode ahead. A few policemen behind took out handcuffs and handcuffed Zhou Xianlei, saying: "Please go to the police station to accept it." trial."

The scar on Zhou Xianlei's face twitched slightly, his eyes flashed fiercely, but he still suppressed his expression, hesitated for a long time, and finally stretched out his hand to be handcuffed by those people. When he passed the cabbage pit, he turned his head and took a look. He didn't say anything, and continued to walk forward unhurriedly.

Xiao Suo's back was frozen in the gloomy air, and some people at the door watched curiously as their neighbors who had been for several years were taken away by a police car.

"Are you okay? Had a nightmare?" Cao Jingxing sat on the chair in front of the table beside the bed, turned his head, and asked with a smile. The sunlight outside the window just shone on half of his face, making it look a bit translucent.

Qi Zheng propped his right elbow on the bed, frowned and shook his heavy head, and said, "What time is it?"

"At three o'clock in the afternoon, you slept for a full five hours and lay down when you returned to the dormitory. Are you too tired recently?" Cao Jingxing asked gently, then reached out and poured a glass of steaming water, and handed it to everyone Zheng bedside, said: "Drink some water."

Qi Zheng reached out to catch it, but put it on the bedside without drinking, and said sternly, "I seem to have dreamed of Zhou Xianlei just now."

After the night visit to Zhou's house, Qi Zheng began to reject Cao Jingxing's approach with a vagueness. Cao Jingxing saw it in his eyes, but there was no reaction on his face, and asked curiously: "Zhou Xianlei?"

Qi Zheng frowned, with a bit of annoyance on his face, "But I forgot the specifics."

"Can't remember everything?" Cao Jingxing looked at him gently and asked softly.

It seems that there are some vague shadows, he still remembered them when he first opened his eyes, but he was in a daze just now, but he forgot them instead.

"Okay." Cao Jingxing seemed a little discouraged, and comforted him: "Just forget it if you can't remember it, maybe you will remember it someday."

"I don't know what's going on with the police." Qi Zheng looked at the sunny sky outside the window, and the weather has cleared up again these days, wondering if it's a good sign.

Cao Jingxing blinked his eyes and said, "At this time, I can only trust them." After speaking, he changed the subject and asked, "Aren't you hungry? You must be hungry after sleeping for so long."

"It's okay." Qi Zheng replied casually, turned over and got off the bed, leaned out, looked at the sun outside the window, and said, "You should eat."

"I have eaten at noon, you go and eat." Cao Jingxing returned.

"I'll make instant noodles." Qi Zheng said, and he rummaged through the boxes and cabinets as he spoke, but he didn't expect that since Cao Jingxing came to his nest, instant noodles, a kind of instant food, had disappeared in the dormitory. No, it seems that I have to borrow a bag next door."

Cao Jingxing persuaded lightly behind his back: "Eating this kind of junk food is not good for your health."

"It took me so long to eat such a bag, I can't die." Qi Zheng said indifferently, then opened the door, walked to Fang Yankun's dormitory next door, knocked on the door, and entered the dormitory of Siyanzi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. There were quite a few people in the same class, and they were fighting landlords. The room was smoky and filled with all kinds of smoke smells. Qi Zheng waved it unluckily, and asked inside: "Fang Yankun, do you have instant noodles here? Give me a pack. "

Fang Yankun has a lot of good cards in this hand, and he has all the double king bombs in his hand. He was in high spirits, when he heard Qi Zheng's question mark, he replied absent-mindedly: "There is a box in the corner, you go and get it yourself."

It's almost winter vacation now, and this bunch of juniors are still crowded here to do these things. Qi Zheng couldn't help but feel that these students really looked like they were just waiting to die, but he didn't bother to say anything. Avoiding the dirty clothes that fell all over the floor in the house, walked into the house, took the bag and unified, and wanted to leave.

At this time, another classmate, Pei Yu, who was sitting next to him watching the battle, looked at Qi Zheng curiously, and couldn't help but ask, "Qi Zheng, the murderer of Duan Kouzhi's case has been caught, do you know who it is?"

Qi Zheng's eyelids twitched, and he asked, "Who is it?"

"You're from our school. You can't guess it. You know people and faces but you don't know what you're thinking. If you say it, it will frighten your jaw." Pei Yu shook his head, with a secretive look on his face.

When Qi Zheng heard this, a person popped up in his mind and asked, "Could it be old man Zhou?"

Pei Yu opened his mouth wide in surprise, and said in admiration, "How did you know that I wiped Qi Zheng? You don't know what □□, do you?"

"Don't talk nonsense, how do you know that old man Zhou is the murderer?" Qi Zheng asked impatiently.

"Just yesterday, the police dug up a pile of bones in Old Man Zhou's yard, which seemed to be Duan Kouzhi's. Then he was handcuffed and taken away yesterday. Isn't this the murderer?"

"Why do you know what happened yesterday?" Qi Zheng asked suspiciously.

Pei Yu looked casual, and said: "X City is only this big in total, and if there is a murderer, it must not take half a day to spread the word."

Listening to the man's words, Qi Zheng suddenly remembered one thing. Duan Kouzhi's body was obviously found in the pile of garbage clothes that Zhou Xianlei and Liang Siyue smuggled, how could it turn into bones in Zhou Xianlei's yard again, unless it was...

Thinking of this, Qi Zheng gasped for breath and his forehead was about to explode. He immediately threw down the instant noodles, turned around and rushed out of Fang Yankun's dormitory, not even responding to the calls from the students behind him.

"Liang Siyue's bones seem to be found!" Qi Zheng, who returned to the dormitory, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and said to Cao Jingxing.

Hearing this, Cao Jingxing raised his head and took a look at Qi Zheng, immediately put down the things in his hands, picked up his coat and put it on his body, then quickly put on his shoes, and said, "What you hear now may not necessarily be Really, the only way to know is if we go to the police station right now."

"What if it's true?" Qi Zheng froze there, refusing to move, lowered his eyelids, and asked softly.

Cao Jingxing sighed silently, stepped forward, stretched out his right hand, and wanted to pat him on the head, but in the middle of the road, he changed his mind, stretched his hand around Qi Zheng's shoulder, and patted the back of his neck. Firmly said: "If it is true, then we will not let the murderer go."

Qi Zheng still frowned and didn't move. Cao Jingxing's eyes sank, and he said, "Then I'll buy another dozen wines, and have a good drink with you. Cheer up, Qi Zheng."

"Let's go." Qi Zheng turned his head and walked out, his back looked extremely lonely in the gradually thinning sunlight.

"Liang Siyue, Liang Siyue," Cao Jingxing put the name in his mouth and mulled it softly, then suddenly, he showed a satisfied smile and sighed, "I can't wait any longer, what should I do?"
