Banquet

Beijing time, ten o'clock in the morning.

Ming Guoqiang met with defense lawyer Gu Xun in the reception room.

Five minutes after the meeting, Ming Guoqiang and the lawyer were poisoned at the same time. Ming Guoqiang was finally pronounced dead because the poison penetrated into the heart too quickly and the rescue failed.

Gu Xun, a lawyer who was poisoned at the same time as him, was rescued immediately, out of danger, and then recuperated in the intensive care unit.

"Ming Guoqiang is a first-class criminal, how could he be killed in the police station?" Shen Yu asked, "Have you seen the surveillance video?"

Gu Yan turned on the phone and clicked on the copied video.

After reading it, Shen Yu said to Gu Yan, "There is a problem."

Gu Yan nodded and said, "You mean the bag of peanuts?"

"The peanuts on the table were found to be non-poisonous."

Shen Yu watched the video, suddenly reached out and pointed at one place: "This lawyer took peanuts from his bag."

Gu Yan said: "Lawyers are not allowed to bring outside food into the police station, but this bag of peanuts was bought from the automatic coin-operated snack machine in the police station, and the entire purchase process was also carried out by other police officers, so there can be no problem. "

Shen Yu said lightly: "The peanuts in the snack machine are indeed not poisonous, but I'm talking about the peanuts in the bag."

Gu Yan stared at the package in the video: "You mean 'package trick'."

Shen Yu then denied it: "No, maybe it's more subtle. There were two bags of peanuts in the bag, and the one out was poisonous. The poisoner pre-set the dose, so Ming Guoqiang was poisoned and died."

Gu Yan shook his head, and said slowly: "There won't be such an accurate dose, after all, no one forced Ming Guoqiang to take a few pills."

"But you reminded me of one thing."

"Since the tested peanuts are not poisonous, they all got poisoned after eating peanuts."

"Then the inspected peanuts are likely to be repackaged." Shen Yu continued.

"There is a ghost in the police station." Gu Yan paused every word.

Ming Guoqiang is suspected of corruption, bribery, intentional homicide, dereliction of duty and many other crimes, which are unforgivable.

At first, Ming Guoqiang suspected that Zhao Changan and Ming Che had heard his secret, and secretly killed the other two prosecutors who were also involved in the case.

These two are also the fathers of Zhao and Ming.

Later, when the young girl and son were isolated and helpless, they drove Ming Che crazy, and then Zhao Chang'an took Ming Che to escape, and they were displaced until the Jiuqu case happened.

But for Shen Yu, he also has a crucial identity, that is, the public prosecutor of Jiang Zetao's second trial case.

Now Ming Guoqiang is dead without proof, and the old case he committed is left in the dust, and he only bears a punishment for violating discipline, which makes people hate him.

"Go and rest."

"You haven't rested for more than two weeks on this case, let's talk about it later." Gu Yan looked at his dark eye circles and said in a low voice.

Can't say the reason, but Shen Yu feels that today's Gu Yan is different from the past.

His tone was still calm, and his analysis of the case was still calm and calm, but inexplicably, Shen Yu felt that he was showing forbearance and restraint, he was enduring.

Shen Yu nodded, said good night, and turned to leave.

"Jiang Chengyan."

Gu Yan suddenly shouted.

Shen Yu turned to look at him.

"Next time you see me, can you take the initiative to come to me and don't make me wait too long."

He stood outside the range illuminated by the street lights, his face couldn't be seen clearly.

Municipal People's Hospital.

In the intensive care unit.

Overwhelmed by the waves, there were gasps and exclamations from inside from time to time.

After a long time, a jade hand was lazily poked out, and then a curvy woman slowly poked out her body.

She was lying on the outside of the quilt, and the towering jade peaks were delicate and charming, resting softly on the outside, rubbing against the quilt.

The person in the quilt gave a low laugh, then pulled her hard suddenly, and fell into her lying position.

The woman lay on the bed, panting coquettishly, "I can't do it anymore."

The voice didn't reply, and it took a while to lazily say: "I didn't say stop."

Then the woman's protest turned into a gasp, and she was soon drowned in the bed.

The woman clung to his tight shoulders, her delicate and beautiful body undulating like a fish in water.

The intense pleasure swept through her entire consciousness, she threw her head back and screamed, then went limp.

The quilt was lifted casually, revealing a strong and powerful body.

The body is vigorous and strong, like a vigorous jaguar.

The only fly in the ointment is the scars and bullet marks on his body.

The man picked up the shirt and trousers on the chair and put them on, then pushed open the door of the ward.

He put his suit jacket on his shoulders, and before he could take a few steps, he was stopped by a young nurse.

The little nurse stood at the door of the ward, holding the medicine in her hand, and stammeringly said to the patient who left without authorization: "Sir, your health is not well yet."

The man looked satisfied, and his body was full of laziness, not at all like the patients sent to the intensive care unit.

"My body?"

"The head nurse inside has already checked."

His voice is very strange, and the tone of voice and intonation are different from ordinary people, giving people a feeling of deliberately doing it.

The little nurse thought it was her own carelessness.

She poked her head in doubt, but was startled by the smell of sandalwood in the whole room.

The little nurse is too young to understand.

But when she saw the head nurse in the quilt, she was startled. Seeing that the patient was about to leave, she hurriedly said, "Glasses, you forgot your glasses."

The man smiled lightly, and said in a casual tone, "No need, I'm just playing around."

Seeing him leaving the intensive care unit, the little nurse hastily opened the medical record.

Gu Xun, at 45:[-] a.m., was sent to the hospital due to food poisoning.

The glasses with gold wire frame were thrown aside casually, no one noticed.

Gu Xun walked very slowly, it could be called stopping while walking.

Busy streets, row upon row of high-rise buildings, and passersby chatting happily.

Too many places have changed, Gu Xun sighed slightly.

This place was originally his hometown, but now he has become a visitor like everyone else.

Every scene, every person, he will stop with great interest when he meets someone he likes.

When passing by a bookstore, Gu Xun rarely stopped for a long time.

This kind of hesitation only appeared in Gu Xun three times in his whole life.

These three times, which can be counted on one's fingers, are all related to a woman.

The hesitation this time was also because of her.It's just the second time.

After all, Gu Xun still didn't go in.

He backed away slowly, with the same cold expression as before, and turned to leave.

It was dusk when he arrived at Babao Mountain.

This isolated remnant hill is low and gentle, extending northeastward.

In ancient times, because there were many precious ores in the hills, it had the reputation of "Eight Treasures Mountain".

Different in recent years, Shanyuan has been transformed into a people's cemetery. Many national leaders were buried before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it has gradually faded from the public's sight.

Shanyuan is located on the high part of the West Mountain, and it is dyed red by the sunset at this time.

Gu Xun looked calm and walked up the stone steps slowly.

There are two parts to Babao Mountain. Whether it is for sightseeing or paying homage to ancestors, there are people's voices along the road.

But the road that Gu Xun took was different from the previous one. Along the way, the road was silent and quiet, only the sound of walking was left.

There is a soldier three or five steps away on both sides of the road. They stand upright like metasequoia, and this place seems to be an important guard.

"Outsiders are forbidden to enter."

The soldiers blocked the way and performed their duties.

Gu Xun suddenly smiled, that smile was extremely arrogant and contemptuous.

Such a smile coupled with that bland face makes people shudder, as if the expression shouldn't be produced by him, or this face is not his.

Gu Xun sighed: "It's been a long time since anyone talked to me like this."

The soldier blocking the way was punched and fell to the ground, and then the soldiers in charge of guarding surrounded him, and they were about to arrest Gu Xun.

Gu Xun was not afraid at all, and said coldly: "See who I am."

He slowly pulled out a skin-like thing from under the pinna, and then tore open the entire face vigorously.

Amidst everyone's surprise and doubt, an extremely handsome face was slowly revealed, that kind of beauty, between femininity and handsomeness, was an indistinguishable beauty.

It was only half of his face. Gu Xun's shoulder-length hair was scattered casually, and he stretched out his hand to cover the other half of his face. Under the long hair, whether it was beautiful or terrifying, no one knew, nor could it No living person has ever seen it.

Then he took out a silver metal mask from his pocket, tilted his head slightly to cover the half of his face, and said calmly to everyone, "Get lost."

He casually threw the impression on the ground.

The soldiers exchanged glances with each other, confirming that this was the person who had been told to pass through.

They quickly helped up the partner who had just fallen, and whispered respectfully: "Yes."

Gu Xun glanced at the soldier blocking the way, and suddenly raised his lips and smiled.

He stepped on the previous soldier, and then strode forward.

The fallen soldier hugged his body and curled up, Gu Xun walked past him like a bloodthirsty emperor without mercy.

At the end of the road is a stone arch bridge with gurgling water flowing under the arch bridge.

There is a pavilion across the bridge, and there is a stone table in the pavilion.

At this time, autumn is deep, and the flowers and plants around the pavilion are withered and lifeless.

The dust accumulated under this round stone table is very thick, as if a layer of quilt has been laid on the stone table.

Gu Xun walked to the arch bridge and dipped his hands in the running water.

Then, he reached out and wrote two words on the stone table.

After he left, someone reached out and brushed the words away.

The crows return, and the mountains and forests are desolate.

Twilight fell again, and after that came Night of the Dead.
