dog cage

At two o'clock in the morning Eastern Time, a few inconspicuous dog barks suddenly came from a farm far from town in Florida, but then the silence returned, and only the vast sweet orange groves rustled in the night wind under the dark night sky .

Beside the doghouse in the front yard of the manor house, there was a flickering spark.

Qin Rui put the cigarette in his mouth close to the white powder in his palm and took a deep breath, then raised his face for a long time to feel the hot pleasure of the smoke in his mouth and nose, and finally slowly exhaled a lingering smoke ring.

After the last bit of heat melted into the night, he lifted the remaining powder into the air, bent down and pulled the twitching hind leg of Bian Mushang to lift it up, and plunged a sharp needle into its heart.

The dark red blood gradually filled the thick syringe, and Bian Mu's struggle finally calmed down.

Throwing the dog's carcass at his feet, Qin Rui turned around and walked into the retro-style farm house, and went straight down the open cellar door to the basement.

Pulling up a chair and sitting in front of the big wooden box in the middle of the basement, Qin Rui took out his mobile phone and dialed an international number.

"Hi~ dear mother." He greeted the other end of the phone with a cheerful tone, "I hope I didn't disturb your afternoon tea."

"Why are you calling at this time?" Qin Yue glanced at the electronic clock on the desk, knowing that it was early morning in the United States.

"Because I want to tell you some good news." Qin Rui smiled and looked at the middle-aged man tied to the wooden box, "I found Dr. Colin."

"What?!" Qin Yue stood up from the armchair all of a sudden, clutching her phone uneasily.

Qin Rui was very satisfied with his mother's reaction. He kicked the unconscious man's calf in front of him and said, "I really didn't expect him to hide in such a remote place after he was released on bail. Fortunately, I have always asked my friends to investigate, but I seem to put He is dizzy, and it may not be possible for him to catch up with you."

"Eric!" Qin Yue called out Qin Rui's nickname sharply, "What the hell are you trying to do? Are you taking drugs again?"

"Bingo! I've been very high recently!" Qin Rui replied loudly, waving his arms in extreme excitement, "Do you know why?! Because someone told me that Dr. Colin, who I admire the most, is actually my biological father. I was so excited that I almost lost control!"

Qin Yue only felt that her eyes were darkened, her body shook for a few times before she managed to regain her composure, and asked sharply, "Who is it? Who told you!"

Her voice suddenly lowered: "Could it be... Qin Yizhen?"

"It doesn't matter who told me." Qin Rui replied with a sly voice, "I only know that you divorced because of an affair with Colin, and you acquiesced to my biological father using me as a guinea pig for psychological experiments."

"No! This is all a misunderstanding!" Qin Yue shouted tremblingly, "Eric, calm down, don't be impulsive!

"I'm not impulsive. I just want to have a heart-to-heart talk with my biological father." Qin Rui shook the syringe in his hand and said, "It's a pity that he doesn't want to see me and says I'm a failure."

"It's so ridiculous, how could I be a failure like Qin Yizhen?" Qin Rui's tone gradually became crazy, "So I want to prove to him that I am a perfect controller!"

"What are you doing! Calm down!" Qin Yue reprimanded loudly, while sitting back in front of the computer and trying to contact her friends in the United States to help call 911.

"Mother, your lover will be redeemed soon, and he will be ours forever."

After Qin Rui finished speaking, he set the phone as hands-free and put it on the ground, then grabbed Colin's arm and slowly inserted the syringe into his vein.

Dogs are man's best companions, loyal, obedient, and protectors.

Human beings are just the opposite, hypocritical, arrogant, and cunning.

Humans have always taken dogs for granted, celebrating their bravery and enjoying their obedience.

So the ruler always likes to compare the dominated person to a dog.

"Doctor Colin, if I can turn you into a dog, will I have fulfilled your expectations?" Qin Rui narrowed his eyes and looked at the scarlet blood continuously pouring into the man's arm, his shoulders trembling with excitement.

Injecting a large amount of animal blood into the human body will produce a severe rejection reaction, so Colin quickly convulsed violently in a coma. On a face that was somewhat similar to Qin Rui, the convulsed facial muscles formed a stiff and weird expression, like a devil ridicule.

Qin Yue sat blankly in front of the computer, listening to the continuous crazy laughter and strange noises from the mobile phone, like falling into an ice cellar.

After a long time, she slowly raised her left hand, looked at the weird flame tattoo, and felt her heart start to burn.

Qin Yizhen's plan was successfully implemented, but he never expected that Qin Yue would not return to the United States to deal with his son's vicious murder case.

When he met Qin Yue at the company, he saw the undisguised hatred in each other's eyes, which was unimaginable in the past, after all, she had been trying her best to maintain the image of a good aunt in front of Qin Kaiyuan.

Qin Yizhen felt that Qin Yue might lose control.

Sure enough, within a few days, Qin's negative reports began to appear on the Internet and some street tabloids. Although they were all vague hints and eye-catching scandals, they tended to intensify.

"Who made these things!?" Qin Kaiyuan slapped the table angrily, because those reports accused him of cronyism, manipulating the market, and playing around the edges of the law.

Qin Yizhen pointed to a few places circled in red pen on the newspaper: "These are internal information of the company, and these... are all my privacy when I was in the United States, and there are many old accounts..."

"The only ones who know this are probably people who are very familiar with us..." He didn't continue, but touched the family portrait on Qin Kaiyuan's desk inadvertently.

Qin Kaiyuan smoked a cigarette for a long time and didn't speak for a long time. Qin Rui got into trouble in the United States a few days ago, Qin Yue didn't go back to help him find a defense lawyer, but stayed in the country without saying a word - did he want to do such a thing?

"Your aunt..." Qin Kaiyuan asked sadly, "What have you been doing recently?"

"It seems that she hasn't been in charge of the small company under her name for a long time." Qin Yizhen replied in a low voice, "I've been looking for Lin Luo, and I'm afraid it's because of this matter."

"No wonder she has been so persistent..." Qin Kaiyuan threw the half-smoked cigarette into the ashtray, "When she returned to China, I thought everything was over..."

"Actually, I'm not sure yet. Don't be too sad." Qin Yizhen looked at Qin Kaiyuan who was sighing while holding his forehead, and quietly pursed his lips.

"No, Yizhen, there is something I haven't told you all this time." Qin Kaiyuan suddenly sighed and said, "When your aunt got divorced, I tried to persuade her to return to China, but she just refused to obey, and she still had a big belly to talk to another girl. A man lived together, and I cut off financial support in a moment of impatience, trying to force her back."

"But she still didn't come back in the end, I don't know how she made it through, maybe it was because of that man?" Qin Kaiyuan picked up the old photos on the table and rubbed them, "Maybe she hated me then, I But I have been reluctant to think about it... I didn't even go into the matter of you in the United States, I am sorry for you and your aunt..."

Qin Yizhen listened to Mr. Qin's rare and fragile tone without changing his face, and there was no fluctuation in his heart.

After all, there are some things that he knows much better than Qin Kaiyuan.

Feelings are emotions, things still have to be dealt with.Qin Yue refused to admit that she leaked the news to the media, and Qin Kaiyuan was determined not to hurt his daughter, and after struggling for a while, he fell ill. Qin Yizhen could only use his relationship to delete the relevant reports first.

After a lot of tossing, the bad news about the company finally disappeared, but the news began to point at Qin Yizhen himself, all kinds of drug addicts, promiscuity, sodomy, and imprisonment of others all came out.

Although this kind of personal attack news cannot be published in the mainstream media, it often spreads quickly among the people. As a result, people soon began to discuss that the heir of the Qin Group is actually a violent homosexual.

Qin Yizhen not only had to pay attention to Qin Kaiyuan's condition, but also had to deal with reporters' entanglement, and was so overwhelmed for a while that he even fell asleep when he called Lin Luo.

Lin Luo quietly hung up the phone. Although he was bored in the room all day, he would also ask the delivery man to bring some newspapers and magazines when ordering ingredients and daily necessities. He still had some understanding of the recent commotion.

Flipping through the latest issue of the unknown tabloid, it has already begun to vividly describe the love and hatred between the son of the Qin family and "a young man surnamed Lin".

Ordinary people laugh at this kind of thing, but Lin Luo knows that once the image of a public figure collapses, it will be difficult to reverse it. If some more ancient things are exposed, Qin Yi will really be in more trouble.

Lin Luo fell into self-loathing again. If he hadn't appeared in the wisteria-blossoming courtyard back then, maybe nothing would have happened. There would be no blood, no crime, and no madness.

A sudden knock on the door brought Lin Luo back to reality. He walked over and glanced out of the cat's eye. It was a young community policeman.

The policeman has been here several times, and Lin Luo always pretended that there was no one in the house, and it was the same this time.

He leaned against the wall and counted silently with his head bowed. When he counted to 56, he finally heard footsteps leaving outside the door.

Everything returned to silence, like a pool of hopelessly stagnant water.

Lin Luo heard his gradually rapid heartbeat, and suddenly stretched out his hand to open the door a crack.

Hearing the noise, the young policeman turned his head immediately, ran back to the door of Lin Luo's apartment in a hurry, and took out a business card.

"Hi, I'm Ye Jun, a policeman who was just transferred last week. I'm in charge of security inspections in this area. We're registering door-to-door information recently. I've come to see you several times, but unfortunately you don't seem to be around. I finally met you today. I wonder if it is convenient for you to register now?"

Ye Jun finished speaking a long paragraph in one breath, but found that the other party did not intend to accept the business card.

"Excuse me, can you let me in?" He tried to look into the crack of the door, but he could only see the corner of the snow-white shirt.

"No."

"Ah...then is it convenient for you to come out and talk? I'll leave after checking the information." Ye Jun scratched his head in embarrassment.

"I can't go out."

Ye Jun felt that the other party might not trust him, so he tried his best to stuff the business card into the crack of the door and said, "If you are worried, you can talk in the room, but can you open the door wider?"

Lin Luo took the business card and glanced at it, and opened the door a little wider, just revealing his face.

Ye Jun was a little dazed when he saw Lin Luo's appearance clearly. The other party was obviously a young man about his own age, but he exuded a sickly charming aura all over his body, his melancholy and pale face was even more lifeless, and his snow-white neck was almost It blended with the white shirt on his body, only a red mark on the thin collarbone was faintly revealed.

However, it was such a ghostly person, but Ye Jun felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it a long time ago.

Seeing Ye Jun staring at him in a daze, Lin Luo raised his hand and knocked on the door frame.

Ye Jun blushed and coughed, quickly took out the registration form and asked, "Are you Mr. Zhao Mingyuan who lived in this apartment a month ago?"

"Yes." Lin Luo nodded, this is the identity Qin Yizhen helped him set up.

"Could you please show your ID card?" Ye Jun asked again.

Lin Luo turned and went back to the room, and quickly took the ID card that he had prepared in advance.

When Ye Jun took the ID card, he noticed that Lin Luo's fingers were as slender and pale as his own, except that the nails were abnormally red.

"Mr. Police, is this your cell phone number?"

Ye Jun was checking his ID card. Hearing this, he looked up and saw Lin Luo pointing at the business card he had just handed over.

"Yes. If you encounter any trouble, you can contact me. We will dispatch the police 24 hours a day." He quickly replied.

"Okay, thank you." Lin Luo stuffed the business card into his trouser pocket and stopped talking.

Ye Jun handed back his ID card after registering the information, and wanted to explain the safety precautions, but the other party had already closed the door with a "bang".

"I haven't finished asking yet..." He stared at the anti-theft door in front of him in distress, and was embarrassed to knock again, so he had to leave with a step and three turns.

Lin Luo waited for Ye Jun to disappear at the stairs before turning around and walking back to the living room. He sat on the sofa and waited for a while before the phone rang again.

"Luo, did I fall asleep just now?" Qin Yizhen asked sleepily on the other end of the phone.

"Yes, you are too tired." Lin Luo replied in a low voice, "Actually, there is no need to call again."

Qin Yizhen rubbed the base of his nose and said, "I'm fine, but you..."

"I'm fine." Lin Luo interrupted him, "I had a good meal."

"That's good, don't forget to take the medicine, I will send the prescription medicine regularly." Qin Yizhen instructed.

"Really, are you troubled recently?" Lin Luo asked as he flipped through the magazine in front of him, "I saw some bad news."

Qin Yizhen lowered his voice when he heard the words: "Don't look at those things if you have nothing to do."

"Hmm." Lin Luo immediately closed the magazine, "I was just thinking maybe everything was my fault."

"I shouldn't have let you take the blame in the first place, so you wouldn't go to the United States, and so many things wouldn't happen." He leaned back on the sofa and looked at the decorations on the ceiling. I can’t even pay it off, because what I’m escaping is the life debt.”

Qin Yizhen frowned instantly: "What nonsense are you talking about? I did it voluntarily."

"...I'm sorry, I thought too much." Lin Luo touched the business card in his pocket, "Forgive me, I won't make you angry again."

"I'm not angry." Qin Yizhen listened to Lin Luo's soft voice, imagined that he was leaning on his shoulder and whispering, and couldn't help closing his eyes, "Luo, I miss you very much, you must wait for me."

Lin Luo curled the corner of his mouth, how many times is this the first time?

What is the purpose of this endless waiting since childhood?

He doesn't know the answer.

"I miss you too." He could only answer like this, just like before, but no longer promised to wait.

After the call was over, Lin Luo got up and walked into the bedroom. He took out his medicine box from the bedside table, which contained the neurological drugs he took every day.

He picked up a box of white pills and stared at the sunlight coming in from the window for a long time, his empty eyes gradually congealed.

Then Lin Luo prepared, put on the outdoor shoes she hadn't worn for a long time, and opened the door of the apartment.

The moment he stepped out of the threshold, Lin Luo didn't feel the joy of regaining his freedom. His freedom had been deprived long ago. As long as he was alive, he would be in a cage.

Cages are everywhere until he pays for his sins.

So now, he's going to pay off the debt.
