riddle

After Gu Ci's birthday, Jin Ke seemed to have evaporated from the world. He did not appear as Gu Ci said, and the police could not find his location either.

As a semi-disabled patient, Gu Ci seemed to be of little help in this situation, so he consciously lowered his sense of existence, and at the same time did not go anywhere, so as to save some time for the police officers who followed him. effort.

However, since Han Nuoshang discovered the hidden knife that day, he seemed to have been in a state of stress, wanting to stare at him anytime and anywhere, always on guard against whom he would cheat from for dangerous items.

Gu Ci only has two daily activities now, either playing with his mobile phone on the bed, or sitting on the balcony in a daze.

When Han Nuoshang came in carrying his lunch, he saw him sitting on the balcony in a daze with his mobile phone in his arms.

"What are you thinking?" Han Nuoshang lightly flicked his ear.

"Nothing, this is my lunch?"

Han Nuoshang nodded, took out all the lunches and put them on the table: "The weather is good today."

"Ok!"

"Let's go out for a walk later, it must be boring to stay in the ward every day."

"Huh?" Gu Ci raised his head and looked at him in surprise, "I don't feel bored."

"But I think you're bored." Han Nuoshang began to use his rascal skills again, "So you still have to go out."

"..." He was speechless.

Han Nuoshang smiled at him, and put vegetables in his bowl: "Eat more, just to replenish."

Gu Ci poked at the food he picked up, thought for a while, and said, "I can't seem to walk! I can't get out, so it's better to stay in the ward!"

"It's okay, there's that."

Gu Ci looked in the direction of his finger, and then the disgust showed on his face.

Going out in a wheelchair is too damaging to the image, Gu Ci euphemistically expressed that he didn't want to use a wheelchair.

Unexpectedly, Han Nuoshang just glanced at him, and threw him a sentence: "Either go out in a wheelchair, or I will carry you out, you choose."

"……"do not want to talk.

After lunch, Han Nuoshang pushed Gu Ci to the lawn.

The winter sun is particularly soft and warm, lightly shining on the two of them.

Han Nuoshang felt dazed for a moment, looked at the person who was basking in the sun with half-closed eyes, and sighed silently in his heart.

He put his hand on Gu Ci's face.

I finally know the deepest secret in this man's heart, and understand his unknown past, but I still can't see through his mind.

And sometimes, I always feel that this person may disappear in the blink of an eye.

"What's wrong?" Gu Ci pulled Han Nuoshang's hand from his face, and looked at him suspiciously.

"No." Han Nuoshang took a few steps forward, squatted in front of Gu Ci and looked up at him, "Gu Ci, I love you!"

"..." Gu Ci was taken aback by his sudden confession, "Yeah! I know."

"Just know it?"

Gu Ci looked at him suspiciously - what else?What else?

Han Nuoshang shook his head helplessly, and stretched out his hand to caress his face: "Gu Ci, promise me, no matter what happens, don't leave me, okay?"

Gu Ci lowered his eyes, wondering what he was thinking, and Han Nuoshang's heart sank immediately.

"You also know that there are many unknown accidents that will happen in this world, just like this car accident... I can't guarantee that I will always have such good luck." Gu Ci saw that Han Nuoshang's face was gradually stained. She took some frost and said with a smile, "However, I will try my best to keep myself alive, because you are here."

Han Nuoshang's expression finally eased, and he showed him a warm smile.

"Where do you want to go, I..."

Before Han Nuoshang finished speaking, he was interrupted by a rush of cell phone ringtones.

Gu Ci flipped over his phone and saw it was an unfamiliar number.

He calmly pressed the answer button and turned on the loudspeaker.

"Little Gu, are you feeling better?" Jin Zihe's voice came from the phone, it was still a familiar voice, but it was not a familiar person anymore!

"Teacher Jin, I thought you wouldn't come to me anymore!" Gu Ci's tone was indifferent, without any fluctuations in it.

"How could it be!" Jin Zihe laughed, "I just have some things to do, and I've been delayed for a while!"

Gu Ci remained silent, waiting for what he would say next.

"Xiao Zi misses you very much, do you want to come and see her?"

"Of course we can't disappoint her." Gu Ci said, "What about the location?"

"In the cemetery behind the orphanage, you will see me when you come here." Jin Zihe thought for a while, then continued, "Don't bring other people up, Xiaozi doesn't like to see strangers."

"it is good!"

Jin Zihe hung up the phone, Gu Ci also put away the phone, and looked at Han Nuoshang.

"It seems that I still have to rely on a wheelchair to go out! People who don't know will definitely feel sorry for me." Gu Ci winked at him.

Han Nuoshang was a little helpless, he could still joke at this time, I really don't know what he was thinking.

"I will lead people to guard the perimeter, and the snipers will be ready for you, and bring the communication equipment." Han Nuoshang thought for a while, and added, "The most important thing is to protect yourself. Come back well, I'll wait for you."

"Um!"

Indeed, as Jin Zihe said, as soon as Gu Ci entered the cemetery, he saw a person standing in the distance, wearing a long red dress. If it was the past, Gu Ci would definitely praise him!

Jin Zihe pulled Qinzi to the side, watched Gu Ci slowly approaching, and smiled at him.

Only then did Gu Ci see clearly that Jin Zihe's knife was on Qin Zi's neck, and it was only a little bit close to slashing her throat, and Qin Zi's young life would probably disappear in this world.

"Miss Jin, that's still a child, can you be more careful."

"You're finally here." Jin Zihe's eyes darkened, he glanced at Qinzi, and was about to make the next move.

There was a "tick", which was the sound of the gun being loaded.

Jin Zihe saw the gun in his hand and smiled: "What? You want to kill me, but Xiao Zi is still in my hand. No matter how fast your gun is, it will be easy for me to kill her."

"Heh..." Gu Ci turned his head to look at the girl in Jin Zihe's hand. He was looking at him with teary eyes, but he didn't speak.

He moved the fingers of his left hand. Although he just supported the gun when he loaded it just now, he was still reluctant in the end, and a faint sense of powerlessness came from his left hand.

"Of course I know, so this gun..." Gu Ci spun the gun in a circle, and the muzzle suddenly touched his head, "It's for me."

Jin Zihe's eyes darkened, and the people who were watching the situation inside also felt tense.

Han Nuoshang looked at the situation inside through the computer screen, and frowned: "Where did you get the gun?"

Hearing Han Nuoshang's question, Gu Ci's mouth curled slightly: "Mr. Jin, you really want to kill me yourself, so you have to be careful, if you accidentally hurt the child in your hand, you can only watch Here comes my dead body."

"Brother..." Seeing Gu Ci's actions like this, Qin Zi burst into tears, "...I'm sorry..."

The knife in Jin Zihe's hand moved a little closer to Qin Zi, and Gu Ci's grip on the trigger tightened a bit, and he quickly moved the knife away from some girls' necks.

"So, let's talk." Gu Ci raised an eyebrow at him in satisfaction.

Jin Zihe frowned: "What are you talking about?"

He originally wanted to wait for Gu Ci to come over and do it directly, but now he can't do anything, because he overestimated how much Gu Ci cared about his life.

"Talk about...the people in the cemetery behind you." Gu Ci raised his chin and looked at the tombstones behind him. "Tell me, what kind of people are they?"

It turns out that Jin Zihe buried his family here! It's really close enough to him.

"They..." Jin Zihe smiled, "They are the most beautiful people in this world."

Seeing that he was lost in memory, Gu Ci didn't bother him. Anyway, with his current situation, it was also impossible to get close to him.

"Zi He likes the red dress the most."

"..." Gu Ci didn't speak, he finally understood why Jin Zihe appeared here in this dress.

"Anyway, you're going to die no matter what." Jin Zihe looked at Gu Ci quietly, "Why don't you die in my hands, it's my wish fulfilled."

Hearing Jin Zihe's words, Han Nuoshang's hands tightened suddenly after monitoring.

What does it mean to die no matter what?

Who do you think you are, and why do you decide Gu Ci's life and death?

"Your wish has been fulfilled?" Gu Ci smiled, "You and I had no grievances and no enmity. You killed my family for no reason. Obviously, I want to kill you more for revenge. Why don't you Let me make my wish first?"

When Gu Ci said this, his tone was very flat, and the hand holding the trigger was still so steady, but those who watched from the sidelines couldn't calm down at all.

"We can make a deal. I can commit suicide after you die, so that you can still avenge your family." Jin Zihe said, "And I know that once I die first, you will definitely not die. Don't worry , I keep my word."

"Why do you have to pull me together?" Gu Ci only thought it was ridiculous for him to say this.

"They waited so hard underground, we should all go down to accompany them!" Jin Zihe smiled, "My family is tired of waiting, I should go to accompany them, your family is also tired of waiting, you should also go to accompany them .”

Gu Ci looked past him at the tombstone behind him. The tombstone Jin Zihe erected for his family was not a joint burial monument. Apart from Jin Zihe's wife and children, there was an unnamed monument among the three.

That was not the monument that Jin Zihe erected for himself, and erecting an anonymous monument was meaningless to him at all.

Gu Ci hooked the corner of his mouth, and there was a vague guess in his heart, he seemed to understand something.

"My family isn't waiting for me. They're gone. We're all heading in two different directions. They... probably won't recognize me." Gu Ci met his gaze, "Your family also The same is not waiting for you, these are all your own fantasies."

"Impossible..." Jin Zihe's face changed, but he quickly recovered. "What? Xiao Gu, are you afraid of death?"

"Afraid of death?" Gu Ci opened his eyes indifferently, "Maybe! If it was more than a month ago, I would definitely have fought you hard, and I'm not in the mood to chat with you here."

"Is there any difference between now and more than a month ago?"

"Yes." Gu Ci bent his eyes and smiled, "The person I care about doesn't want me to die, and I don't want to make him sad."

Hearing this, Han Nuoshang couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, and his tensed hands relaxed a little.

"Is that person more important than your family? You just abandoned your family like this?" Jin Zihe was a little angry. In his mind, family was more important than anything else.

"Then the person behind you is more important than your family? You listen to him!" Gu Ci blinked, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, "You have been hiding for so many years and haven't looked for your family, no Is it also because of that person!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's not because of you that I haven't gone to them yet." Jin Zihe said angrily.

Because Gu Ci is not dead yet, his mission has not been completed, so he has to take Gu Ci away before he can leave.

"Because of me? Then you are really great." Gu Ci slowly put his eyes on Qin Zi and winked at her.

Qin Zi is a very smart child. She looked at Gu Ci, then at the knife beside her neck, and pursed her lips.

"Mr. Jin...or Professor Jin Ke, have you ever wondered why that person knows who the murderer of your family is?"

"What do you mean?"

"Look! First find a student who is dissatisfied with you, and repeatedly instill in him how inhuman you are, how damn you are, and after the student is convinced of this, let him know that a murderer The method, guess what, that student will choose to do?"

Seeing that Jin Zihe's face gradually turned cold, Gu Ci licked the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.

Just this is not enough!

"But that student was too scared. He was about to collapse after killing someone, so it was meaningless to that person. It was you—Jin Ke who had just lost an important family member, who aroused his interest even more..."

"You're talking nonsense." Jin Zihe interrupted Gu Ci and roared, "He is not such a person, don't try to slander him."

Qin Zi tremblingly looked at the small knife that was suddenly near and far away.

"Is it really nonsense? Then why does he know so many things? Do you really think he is a god?" Gu Ci's voice was still steady, speaking these words like a machine.

Jin Zihe's eyes turned red, and he looked at Gu Ci fiercely.

"He just thinks it's fun to use you to kill people, and you are just a toy of his, but you always think about how important you are." Gu Ci sneered, "I also don't know that the person I have always respected is The person who really killed his own family is really stupid!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Jin Zihe was still stubborn.

Gu Ci knew that he had already started to waver, and he should have figured out everything that happened between him and that person.

"Mr. Jin, Xiaoqing just turned eight years old that year." Gu Ci's eyes also turned red unconsciously, "When she was crying and begging you to let her go, did you ever feel a little bit in your heart when you let her parents go?" hesitate?"

"What qualifications do you have to say about me." Jin Zihe said through gritted teeth, "Didn't you just watch them die in front of you without doing anything?"

"Yeah! I'm really not qualified to say you." Gu Ci smiled again, his eyes were full of chills, "But when you attacked Xiaoqing, did you think about the unborn child in Hu Zihe's stomach? girl?"

"I……"

"If she was born safely, she should be as cute as Xiaoqing... But for such a cute child, you destroyed her without hesitation." Gu Ci's eyes were icy, his mouth The words spoken in are equally cold and biting, "If that is your own daughter, can you do such a murderous thing? You can even do something to your own family for that person! This is the case, and you are still defending him. ?”

"No, it's not..." Jin Zihe's emotions had already begun to be affected by Gu Ci.

At this moment, Qin Zi, who had been held by him all this time, suddenly exerted strength, pushed Jin Zihe away, and ran towards Gu Ci.

Jin Zihe was startled, knowing that he had been tricked, and furious, he picked up the knife in his hand and rushed towards Gu Ci.

The sniper in the distance saw that something was wrong and shot Jin Zihe decisively.

Jin Zihe was shot in the head just after taking two steps, and blood splashed towards them in an instant.

Gu Ci's eyes dimmed, and he pulled Qin Zi into his arms with one hand, and pressed her head to prevent her from seeing such a bloody scene.

"Pa" the gun in his hand also fell to the ground with his movements.

Qin Zi, who has always been very strong, finally couldn't help but burst into Gu Ci's arms and burst into tears. After all, she was just a child.

"It's okay, my brother is here..."

Gu Ci gently patted her on the back, comforting her.

After crying, Qin Zi slowly calmed down, feeling some wetness on her neck, she wanted to reach out to touch it.

"Don't move around, those are my brother's tears, I don't want you to see my brother crying." Gu Ci looked at the blood on Qin Zi's neck, talking nonsense expressionlessly.

"Oh!" Although her brother's voice didn't sound like he was crying, she chose to believe what he said.

"are you tired!"

"Hmm!" She really hasn't slept soundly in the past few days.

"Go to sleep when you're tired, and you'll see your sister when you wake up." Gu Ci's voice was so seductive that Qin Zi couldn't help but want to close her eyes, "Go to sleep, Xiao Ling is very worried about you and is still waiting for you to go back !"

Qin Zi nodded, and fell asleep in Gu Ci's arms. She had to go back to take care of her sister! Fortunately, it was just a false alarm, and she's fine now...

Gu Ci looked at her little face, and his heart that had been hanging all this time finally relaxed--fortunately, this child is fine!
