Born in the dark, Ended in the dawn

The man named Han Zhao looked around cautiously. The people passing by were very chaotic. He signaled Wei Lan to lower his voice, this is not the place to talk.Wei Lan had no choice but to suppress her shock and take good care of Lu Yang first.

"What's going on here? Why are the police here." Recognizing the other party's identity, Wei Lan felt at ease, and her tone became more familiar.

Han Zhao raised his chin and glanced at the elevator room, "The elevator accident, fell from the tenth floor, and killed a woman."

"What does that have to do with Lu Yang fainting?"

"Wei Lan." Han Zhao paused, hesitating what to say, "Do you still not believe in ghosts?"

This question really stumped Wei Lan. He really didn’t believe it before, and felt that ghosts and gods were all nonsense used to scare people. It's so weird, how can you confidently say that you don't believe it? "Now I don't even have the confidence to say that I don't believe it. Tell me, what's going on."

"Before the accident, I saw him once. He and the girl were waiting for the elevator on the tenth floor. When the elevator door opened, he refused to go in. His face suddenly became ugly, and he persuaded the girl to go up the stairs with him."

Wei Lan stood up and looked in the direction of the elevator. There were policemen and doctors walking around there, "The girl didn't listen to him, or did she choose to take the elevator, and then something happened?" Wei Lan could even imagine the girl looking at Lu Yang Yang's eyes must be full of contempt, as if looking at a psychopath.

"That's right." Han Zhao confirmed Wei Lan's guess, "When I heard the loud noise running down, he had already collapsed in front of the elevator door. He was holding a mobile phone in his hand, and he seemed to be calling you." Phone, your name is quite special, it’s not easy to meet someone with the same name, I’m still guessing if it’s you.”

"Yeah, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here. Take care of Lu Yang for me first, and I'll go to the elevator to see if I can help." With that, Wei Lan walked towards the elevator.

The fallen elevator has been deformed, stuck halfway up and down, and the girl's body is still lying twisted at the bottom of the elevator, the slender and sharp heel pierced into the abdomen, and blood splattered everywhere.After the staff locked the spare cable, the police could rescue without obstacles.Wei Lan jumped into the half-exposed elevator cabin, asked for a pair of rubber gloves to put on, and helped the North District police officers carry out the girl's body.

With a soft slap, a small silver-gray object fell to the floor of the elevator cabin, bounced and slid towards the gap in the elevator door. Wei Lan bent over and pressed the small object to prevent it from continuing to slide.

He picked it up and saw that it was a small USB flash drive. He put the USB flash drive into the evidence bag, handed it to Li Anran who was standing nearby, and instructed in a low voice, "Before it is determined that it is not a man-made accident, all these things must be listed. Within the scope of evidence, it cannot be returned to the family of the deceased.”

"I know." In terms of professional acumen, Li Anran absolutely convinced Wei Lan. During her tenure at the West District Police Station, she witnessed many cases solved because of Wei Lan's whim. With meticulous and rigorous thinking logic, it is not surprising that the first criminal investigation team can achieve fabulous results.

Li Anran withdrew his infatuated gaze, "Brother Wei, do you think this is artificial?"

"I can't make a conclusion about this kind of thing, but it's better to be prepared." Wei Lan stared at the elevator, but couldn't see anything wrong. Did Lu Yang see something that could scare him who was used to seeing ghosts? faint?

A series of accidents happened in the North District, but they were closely related to the West District. He was always drawn to the scene by various factors, which made Wei Lan feel a strong feeling A sense of disobedience, as if these things were meant to be shown to him.

"Han Zhao, are you free?" Wei Lan returned to Lu Yang, handed Han Zhao a cigarette, and took out the Zippo in his pocket to help Han Zhao light a cigarette. Unable to light it, Wei Lan smiled awkwardly, put the lighter and cigarettes back into his pocket, "Get off work early, help me carry Lu Yang back, and, I also want to talk to you."

Dapi's warm welcome gave Wei Lan a warm feeling that he had finally returned home, saying that he asked Han Zhao to help him carry Lu Yang back, but in fact it was the tall and tall Han Zhao who carried Lu Yang into the door alone.

After Lu Yang settled down, Wei Lan pulled Han Zhao into her room, poured two glasses of cold boiled water, and asked straight to the point, "Are you released from prison early?"

"Yeah." Han Zhao's tone was a little uncomfortable, "Two years ahead of schedule."

"Sorry, I still haven't been able to find the real culprit." Wei Lan looked at Han Zhao with complicated eyes.

The tall man in front of him is a senior who is two years older than himself. He could have become a criminal policeman like himself, but an incident happened eight years ago when he was still in the police academy. A boy was fighting with Han Zhaoda Not long after the fight broke up, he was found dead in the school's artificial lake. The cause of death was organ failure, and Han Zhao was also charged with manslaughter and sentenced. Fortunately, someone proved that the boy and Han Zhao fought , uttered false words and maliciously provoked Han Zhao to be given a lighter sentence.

But Wei Lan knew in his heart that Han Zhao was a well-known fighting genius in school, and he knew how to measure his fights, making people hurt but not hurt. How could he kill people with ruthless hands? There must be other reasons for this, but this reason I couldn't find it for a long time, so many years have passed in a flash.

"Don't think so much. It's not your fault. I know you've tried your best. I have to thank brother Xiao for his help if I can get a lighter punishment." Han Zhao patted Wei Lan's shoulder heavily, "Take me to another day Brother Xiao's home, I have to thank him very much."

Wei Lan's eyes dimmed suddenly, "Let's take it easy to thank you."

"What's wrong? Is it inconvenient?"

"Brother Xiao is no different from a vegetable now."

"What?" Han Zhao couldn't help exclaiming. Seeing Wei Lan's frustrated expression, he didn't seem to be lying, and no one would make fun of such unlucky words, "What happened?"

"To be honest, I don't remember much. I only know that I caused Brother Xiao to be like that because of some stupid mission."

Taking a deep breath of the cigarette, Han Zhao twirled the cigarette butt in the ashtray until he exhaled the smoke in his lungs before saying, "I always feel that this is a series of conspiracies, and you and I were both involved. Poor worm in a conspiracy."

Han Zhao's words can be said to awaken the dreamer with one word. The sense of disobedience that Wei Lan felt came from this. Something was pulling them deeper and deeper. He thought it all started after waking up from a coma. Yes, but I didn't think about it. Maybe it had already started six years ago when Han Zhao was imprisoned.

Powerlessness and frustration swept over Wei Lan. He felt like a puppet, walking forward step by step according to the script written by the black hand behind the scenes. He couldn't break free and couldn't change. It doesn't matter, please don't implicate the people around you.While spurning himself who would have such thoughts, he prayed devoutly.

"What...is your relationship with him?" Han Zhao suddenly said, with a nervous and tentative tone.

"Who? What does it matter?" Wei Lan was confused by Han Zhao's inexplicable question and couldn't react for a while.

Han Zhao tilted his head and glanced at the opposite bedroom.

"You mean Lu Yang?" Seeing Han Zhao's nervous look, Wei Lan laughed out loud, "Han Zhao, you don't think my buddy is crooked, do you? Don't worry, I'm straight, he is I'm just a roommate, I just graduated from college and live here, it's too boring to be alone, you also know that I'm lazy, I don't like to clean up, so I hired a co-renter at a cheap price, just as a companion."

"Who cares if you're straight or bent." Han Zhao glanced at Wei Lan sideways, but he didn't see how sharp his gaze was, but it was mostly embarrassment.

Now Wei Lan was a little dumbfounded, the atmosphere was not right, and then looked at the faint blush on Han Zhao's cold face, and instantly guessed some clues, "Don't tell me you fell in love with him at first sight, although I don't mind My buddy's love life is different, but I remember you are straight, you fought that boy back then, it was because of your classmate. Besides, Lu Yang has a girlfriend."

"A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory. Who said I fell in love at first sight. I just think he looks very familiar. I seem to have met him somewhere. Not only have I met him, but I should be very familiar with him, but I can't remember knowing such a person."

"Cough." Wei Lan stopped teasing Han Zhao, for fear of igniting his temper, "Don't talk about it, I don't care about your affairs, but Lu Yang is an honest man, so don't bully him."

Han Zhao glared at Wei Lan and said nothing.

"How long have you been out? Where do you live now? Do you live with Aunt Han?"

"Soon, more than two months." Han Zhao lit another cigarette, "I don't plan to go back and live with my mother. Xu An, the boss of Xu's Real Estate, somehow got on good terms with my mother..."

"Xu An? That person's background is not very clean, he seems to have been laundered by the underworld."

Han Zhao nodded, "I know, so I'm not happy, but this time I was able to get out of prison early this time because Xu An resorted to tricks to please my mother."

"This is really embarrassing. If you have no place to live, you can live with me first. There is still a study room available. I can buy you a bed to sleep in." Wei Lan picked up a cigarette and glanced at the table The Zippo in the corner turned to reach out to grab the one-yuan lighter that Han Zhao casually threw aside.

Kacha Kacha, the flames shot up so high, just as Wei Lan held up the lighter and let the flames get close to the cigarette, a cool wind blew out the orange flames.Wei Lan started the fire again without giving up, but the flame was blown out again, try again!The lighter simply flashed sparks, but no more flames came out.

Wei Lan frowned and stared at the lighter, while Han Zhao looked at Wei Lan with raised eyebrows.

"Did you provoke something unclean?"

He doesn't know if it's clean or not, but he seems to have provoked something terrible, which is always with him, just like now, the clothes that were originally soaked with thin sweat stick to his back, through the thin fabric, the cold The air clings to him as if it has an entity, giving him the illusion of being hugged by the cold air from behind.

Just as he was about to say something, the cell phone by the table rang suddenly, causing Wei Lan to tremble in shock, and quickly picked up the phone. Before he could speak, Yin Hang on the opposite side was already swearing.

"Brother Wei, since you've been discharged from the hospital, don't give yourself a vacation. Come back quickly. Something happened in our jurisdiction. I'll wait for you at the front desk of the NC International Hotel on Thirteenth Street."

Thirteenth Street in the West District, the most prosperous place in Huicheng, this time, the disaster no longer draws you close, but comes directly to the door?

There was no surprise, no fear, Wei Lan's face showed a trembling smile with excitement.

Irresponsible Character Analysis One

Chen Yanhua: Don't worry, everyone. You should be fine. It doesn't matter if you stop until tomorrow morning. I just brought some biscuits and snacks today, so everyone can share them.

Wei Lan: I heard that sleeping can prevent you from feeling hungry. (Single-celled primitive animal already lying under the quilt for sleep at the time of speaking.)

Xiao Zixian: I have already called the power supply bureau, and the power supply will be restored at [-] o'clock in the evening.

At 07:30, the power was restored and everyone was finally freed from the cage.
