heart poison

Chapter 66 Confidant

Yi Linlang was dead, and committed suicide by drinking a bullet at her home in Canada.Before he died, he left a suicide note, apologizing to those who loved him, and complaining bitterly about the unbearable cyber violence he had suffered in the past few days.

"I never participated in slandering Lin Xiaofei from the beginning to the end. I was not the one who made the 'color palette', nor was it I who made the 'human flesh' Lin Xiaofei, and it was not me who killed the five Zheng Qis!"

"Why am I the one who should go to hell the most?"

"Do you dare to say that you were not the one who insulted Lin Xiaofei five years ago? You scolded Lin Xiaofei to death, and now you are pushing me to death. I did what you wished. My death today is thanks to you keyboard warriors!"

Yi Linlang's death pushed this "plagiarism" storm to its final climax.Some of the fans who had really liked him for many years cried bitterly, some of them kept their mouths shut temporarily, while others continued to taunt and abuse him, berating him for being a coward, refusing to apologize to Lin Xiaofei until their death, and trying to shirk responsibility until their death.

——How do you apologize to your fans?Isn't Lin Xiaofei the one you're most sorry for?

——As expected of a 'great god' who relied on marketing, he had to show off his presence and win the sympathy of his fans before he died.The tears of brainless fans are easy to earn!

——Yigou, you owe Lin Xiaofei an apology.Don't you just pretend to die, right?

"Fuck, I have to take my time." Zhang Mao stood by the seat and wiped the sweat from his forehead.He was sitting just now, but when he saw the instant news that popped up on his mobile phone, he suddenly jumped up. After reading the whole news, he still felt that it was too sudden.

Yi Linlang died just like that?Died from the overwhelming abuse, and died from thousands of "Go to hell, scum".

Died from a cyberbullying.

"Five years ago, when he acquiesced to his team spreading rumors about Lin Xiaofei and his fans to inflicting online violence on Lin Xiaofei, he must have never imagined that the knife would suddenly turn around in the future and be inserted into his own chest." Hua Chong finished watching Canada The notification issued by the police sighed softly, "This is the ultimate goal of the hackers - to kill Yi Linlang with cyber violence."

"Yi Linlang is hypocritical and cowardly." Because he went to Lin Xiaofei's house, saw the paint splashed on the outside of the door, and saw Lin's mother's weather-beaten face, Xu Kan didn't like Yi Linlang at all, and learned that he was dead. , I have no regrets at all, I just feel that the old saying has finally come true-it's not that I don't report, the time has not yet come.

"The scale of cyber violence against Yi Linlang is much larger than the one five years ago." Liu Zhiqin said: "It's really unbearable for a person to be cursed and scolded for so many days."

"I just feel that I deserve it." Xu Kan snorted, "Yi Linlang was born well, high above the others, and Lin Xiaofei was like an ant to him, if he trampled to death, he would be trampled to death. But why? Who is not raised by his parents? Lin Xiaofei deserves to be He stepped into the mud?"

Hua Chong shook his head and said softly: "But online violence, no matter when, no matter who it is targeted at, is not advisable."

"That needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis." Qu Zhi joined the discussion, "I think the violence was good this time, otherwise, how can Yi Linlang be punished? Isn't he still quibbling in the suicide note? He said 'plagiarism' The incident was planned by his team, and he did not participate in it. He did not participate in the 'human flesh', nor did he kill the person. What punishment will he get? Can the Canadian law cure him? Maybe he will be silent for a year or two. He came out to make money again. Taking a step back, he can no longer make money from writing, but his family is rich, one of the rich second generation, so what if he doesn’t write books? His family’s wealth is enough for him to spend a lifetime of money.”

Liu Zhiqin didn't stand on either side, and seemed a little indifferent, "I can only say that I hope this incident can be a wake-up call to those marketing teams and individuals who have misunderstood their brains. Even if the Internet is still a lawless place, the law is still Don’t blame everyone, but at some point in the future, people will definitely pay the price for what they have done and what they have said.”

Zhang Mao listened to everyone's words without saying a word, watching the media reports silently.

The servants of Yi's family said that Yi Linlang's spirit has been out of order these past few days. She shut herself at home and didn't dare to step out of the door, even dared to go to the garden at home. She kept saying that someone was going to kill him outside. He also said that someone at home was watching him.

"I don't know what's going on outside, but the family is full of people who have served in Yi's house for many years. How can they monitor him?" The old housekeeper said: "The young master is under too much pressure. He often stares at the camera and says there are people inside."

There was a lot of scolding on the Internet, and netizens picked out the key points in the housekeeper's words-"young master" and "mental illness", and they ridiculed: "Young master is actually a mental illness? Are we doing meritorious deeds? After all, mental illness does not punish criminals. Well, if you are not forced to commit suicide by us, who can punish you? It is not nonsense to say who is staring at you, the whole world is staring at you, we just want to see, when will you go die!"

"It feels quite sensitive, but it's a pity why you didn't notice it before, and I've been staring at you?" The man said to himself with a cigarette in his mouth, half-closed his eyes.

He was probably the only one who witnessed Yi Linlang committing suicide.In the past few days, he seldom sleeps, sitting in front of the computer and looking at it for most of the day.

On the screen, there was Yi Linlang who kept crying, banging his head against the wall, sitting there trembling, and screaming manically.He originally wanted to open a live broadcast account for everyone to watch together.Think about it for a moment, but give up.Because when he escaped a few days ago, he was almost caught by a "white hat". If he had not made sufficient preparations, the network of "meat machines" was huge, and he had already been locked.

Couldn't risk it again, just had to enjoy it alone.

Yi Linlang's mental state was deteriorating every day.The ignited netizens are like AI. After it is activated, it can organize attacks spontaneously and upgrade itself without manipulation.He laughed out loud watching it, and applauded happily when Yi Linlang was crying and roaring.

Behold, how easy it is to destroy a man.

Earlier today, Yi Linlang sat in the corner like a log, motionless, as if dead.The man wanted to catch up on his sleep, but Yi Linlang suddenly stood up, ran to another room, turned on the computer, and stared at the screen with bloodshot eyes.

The man manipulated the camera that came with the computer to see his expression clearly.

His pains and fears bring man supreme pleasure.

He opened a document and started typing on the keyboard.

The man looked at it and raised his eyebrows slightly.

It turned out to be a suicide note.

Finally can't take it anymore?

Do you finally want to end it all with death?

The man didn't read the content of the suicide note for the time being, but just stared at Yi Linlang's face with great interest.The expression on this face is too vivid, far more vivid than the novels he wrote as the author of "Great God".

The vivid ferocity is simply mesmerizing.

About an hour later, the suicide note was written.Yi Linlang sat for a long time, hatred and resentment gradually brewed in her eyes.

"What right do you have to be unhappy?" The man said to himself, "You deserve it too?"

Yi Linlang stood up, and suddenly burst into tears again.

The man stopped looking at him, and briefly scanned the content of the suicide note, his face darkened, "When you are about to die, you still have to fuck yourself. Is it so difficult to say 'I'm sorry'?"

After a while, the man smiled self-deprecatingly, "Forget it, a scum like you is not worthy of apologizing to Brother Xiaofei."

Yi Linlang's cries attracted a group of servants. He screamed and scolded the servants away, walked to the top floor of the villa step by step, took out a gun, and aimed it at his temple.

A sudden gunshot brought an end to everything.

"Not bad, die simply." The man looked at the blood spreading on the ground, looked at the panicked servants, and listened to the siren from far and near, his eyes flickered.

The upsurge of condemnation on the Internet gradually subsided with Yi Linlang's death, but the serial murders that happened in reality are still under further investigation.Chu Jiao revealed that he was being manipulated, and various facts also proved that there was indeed a "trader" behind this series of cases.

But no one could find a trace of him.

The cameras around the murder scene had been hacked, but the traces could not be traced; Chu Jiao's communication records had been modified, but the traces were also untraceable.That person provided a lot of help to Chu Jiao in committing the crime, but he hid in darkness from the beginning to the end.

Chu Jiao was taken to the capital, and the serious crime team no longer had to take responsibility for the case.Whether to track down the black hands behind the scenes, and how to track down, is already a matter for the Ministry of Public Security.

But Hua Chong and Liu Zhiqin were not idle.

"I want to go to Zecheng again." Hua Chong took the draft that Xu Kan sent, and turned to a page with strange handwriting, "We must have missed something last time. That post said Fu Dacheng's Nephew and Lin Xiaofei have a very good relationship, this may be a breakthrough."

"Grandma Chen didn't mention this person, did she forget about it, or deliberately conceal it?" Liu Zhiqin frowned and thought.

"I guess I forgot. After all, the other party didn't seem to have lived in the chemical plant's family area for too long, and he was just a child at the time." Hua Chong said: "And the police at the police station didn't mention him, so they didn't need to hide it."

Liu Zhiqin nodded, "When are we going to leave?"

Hua Chong looked at the time, it was already afternoon, "Why don't we go now? It will be night when we get there, sleep up and go to Lin's house tomorrow morning."

"Do you want to stay overnight?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't stay, then go back tomorrow on the same day."

Liu Zhiqin thought for a while, "Let's go today, it's too hasty to squeeze into a day. This time is not like last time, there is no need to hurry."

Hua Chongxiao, "Yeah, this time is not like last time, last time I stayed in a guest house arranged, this time I have to pay for the accommodation myself."

Liu Zhiqin was taken aback, "Then shall we go to a hotel?"

"A little more luxurious?"

"You decide, I can do it."

He left as he said, and half an hour later, the two of them were already blocked on the way out of the city.

Hua Chong was driving, and Liu Zhiqin was sitting in the passenger seat flipping through Lin Xiaofei's draft.The paper has turned yellow, and it can be seen that it has been used for many years. The handwriting is neat and neat, and it seems that it must have been written by Lin Xiaofei.The other kind of handwriting is much uglier, there are only two places, no wonder I didn't notice it before.However, although these two handwritings are ugly, the content is related to "The Shining Place of Eternal Night". It can't be that someone randomly scribbled on it, but someone must have written it down while discussing the plot with Lin Xiaofei.

"Could it be Fu Dacheng's nephew?" Liu Zhiqin asked.

It was a half sentence, but Hua Chong understood, "I'm also thinking about this question. If, as mentioned in the post, Lin Xiaofei took good care of Fu Dacheng's nephew, and this nephew discussed "The Shining Place of Eternal Night" with Lin Xiaofei , Then five years ago, "Eternal Night" was rumored, did he know? If he knew, how would he react?"

"It's hard to say." Liu Zhiqin said: "After all, for him, the days in the family area of ​​the chemical factory were a memory of his childhood. His reaction has something to do with Lin Xiaofei's position in his heart."

"If, I mean if he is that hacker." Hua Chong said, "Will he be too young?"

"Young? No." Liu Zhiqin shook his head, "Many geniuses in the field of network security showed their sharpness before they were 20 years old."

Hua Chong raised his eyebrows inadvertently, "What about when you were 20?"

"Me?" Liu Zhiqin paused, "When I was 20 years old..."

Fall in love with someone.

"Huh?" Hua Chong glanced at him.

He smiled and said, "Still a bastard."

"I don't believe it." Hua Chong said: "If you are still a bastard at the age of 20, how can you get into the information warfare team?"

Liu Zhiqin looked out the window, and did not continue the topic, "By the way, how is the publication of "The Shining Place of Eternal Night" going with Xu Kan? I heard that many publishing houses are vying for it."

"Xu Kan has a wide network and is very concerned about this matter. He will definitely find the most suitable one."

"That's good, Lin Xiaofei's wish has finally come true."

"But it's a pity after all." Hua Chong's voice sank, "When a person dies, nothing happens. Only we, the bystanders, will be comforted. He doesn't know anything anymore."

Zecheng's economy is not as good as that of Los Angeles, but the city center is still brightly lit at night.Because the road was blocked, it was past dinner time when Hua Chong and Liu Zhiqin arrived.The two changed seats on the way, Liu Zhiqin drove, Hua Chong leaned on the passenger seat to book a hotel.

It is said that they want to book a luxurious room, but it should not be too extravagant and wasteful. The key is that looking at the entire Zecheng, there is no room rate above 500 yuan.Hua Chong looked around and asked, "Shall we book two double-bed rooms or one standard room?"

"Let's book a room." Liu Zhiqin said.

Hua Chong poked the screen, "That's what I mean too."

The hotel I booked was in the city center. Hua Chong opened the door and sighed, "It would be great if there is such a treatment for public-funded accommodation."

Liu Zhiqin smiled: "It's a beautiful idea."

The two didn't bring any luggage, so they didn't need to pack up. After taking a breath, they went straight to the nearby night market food stall.

Summer is the season to eat crayfish. Hua Chong ordered three large plates, plus a variety of grilled seafood and stewed meat. After sitting down, he thought of Le Ran and said regretfully: "I also told Le Le that after the work is over, let Team Chen treat you to dinner. I want to eat Whatever. He and Team Shen went back before he could catch up."

"It's okay." Liu Zhiqin poured peanut butter into two glasses, "What does he want to eat, can Team Shen still short him?"

It's fine not to mention this stubble, but Hua Chong suddenly became interested when he mentioned it, "The relationship between the two of them is unusual, relative?"

"Almost." Liu Zhiqin pushed the cup in front of Hua Chong.

"What do you mean 'almost'? Yes, yes, no, no."

"They're family."

Hua Chongwei opened his mouth, was stunned for three seconds, and understood, "You mean...they are a couple?"

"Well. Been together a few years ago."

Hua Chong patted his thigh, "I'll just say it! Lele looked at Dui Shen in the eyes, and Dui Shen talked to Lele in the tone, tsk tsk tsk!"

Liu Zhiqin's eyes were deep, and he asked tentatively, "Don't you think it's strange?"

"What's so strange?" Hua Chong peeled the edamame and tossed it into his mouth, "I'll go, Brother Xiaoliu, do you think it's strange?"

"I haven't." Liu Zhiqin said softly, "I've known Captain Shen for a long time, why would I find it strange?"

"Then you still ask me?"

"I was worried that you would find it strange."

"What's the matter?" Hua Chong continued to peel the edamame, "It's other people's freedom to like whoever they like. Dui Shen doesn't steal or snatch Lele, they just like each other, and they don't hinder us onlookers, why should we think it's strange?"

At this time, fried crayfish, garlic crayfish, and spicy crayfish were brought up together. Hua Chong greeted Liu Zhiqin while wearing gloves, "Come here, eat quickly, if you don't have enough, add more."

The business of the food stall gets better in the evening, after eating, Hua Chong really thinks it's not enough, so he can barely enjoy it after adding two more dishes.

Because they had business to do the next day, neither of them drank any alcohol, and they didn't dare to eat too late, so they paid the bill and left around 10 o'clock.But before returning to the hotel, Hua Chong also packed two roasted pig's trotters.

Liu Zhiqin said: "Is one of them for me?"

"Yes."

"Do you like to eat pig's trotters?"

"Huh?" Hua Chong thought for a while, "Generally, if you see the fragrance, you will buy it and try it."

"I have eaten pig's trotters with you several times. It used to be trotter soup, but now it's roasted trotters."

Hua Chongle said, "It's true. Otherwise, I'll buy some later, and you come to my house to burn? We haven't had a business at home for a long time."

"Okay." Liu Zhiqin pressed the up button of the elevator, leaned against the door slightly, and let Hua Chong in.

Hua Chong gave him a sideways glance, "Gentleman Brother Xiaoliu."

Liu Zhiqin stood aside with a smile, "serve the leader."

Living in a hotel worth 500 yuan is indeed more comfortable than a guest house worth tens of yuan. Hua Chong fell asleep when he lay down, but dreamed of his sacrificed teammates halfway.

In the middle of the night, he woke up suddenly, clutching his forehead and panting lightly.

Over the years, serious and important cases have been solved one after another, but the most wanted answer has always been in the clouds.

He sat for a while, looking at a bed next to him.

Liu Zhiqin was facing his back, sleeping soundly.

He looked at it for a long time and lay down again, but he couldn't fall asleep again.

At dawn, the city center came out from the luxury, like a young girl full of vigor and vigor.

Hua Chong and Liu Zhiqin rushed to the family area of ​​the chemical factory on the edge of the city, just in time to meet Lin's mother to buy vegetables and go home.

"You guys are here again." She smiled and said, "Come in and sit down."

Over the past few days, many media have flocked to this dilapidated family area. The old man is unwilling to accept interviews and has not gone out for a long time.In the past two days, the reporters saw that they couldn't get any news, and the police station was always watching, so they left in groups.

"I don't know what happened five years ago." Mother Lin said, "I don't know why so many people came to my house to scold me and Xiaofei back then, and why so many people come to interview me now. I only know that my son is a Good man, he didn't do anything to hurt anyone."

Hua Chong put the temporarily bought fruit and milk on the table, listened to Lin's mother talk for a while, and asked casually, "Grandma Chen, do you still remember Brother Lin's friend Fu Dacheng?"

"Dacheng? Of course I remember. Xiaofei went to the subway station to sell books to raise money for him." Mother Lin couldn't stop sighing as she spoke, "It's a pity, both of them have bad lives."

Hua Chong asked again: "Does Fu Dacheng have a nephew who comes to play with Brother Lin whenever he has something to do?"

Lin's mother thought for a long time, her cloudy eyes brightened slightly, "You mean Xiao Huan?"

Hua Chong turned his head and glanced at Liu Zhiqin. Liu Zhiqin said calmly, "We heard that Brother Lin likes children, and Xiao Huan often comes to your house for dinner."

Mother Lin smiled, "Yes. That child is pitiful. His father committed a crime and served his sentence in prison, and his mother didn't care about him. Dacheng and his wife took him over to live with him and let him go to school. But they are busy, sometimes a day All three meals are settled in the factory, and Xiao Huan eats noodles at home. Xiao Fei sees that Xiao Huan is a thin monkey, so he invites him to come to eat with us at home."

Hua Chong said like La Jiachang: "Why didn't I hear you mention him last time?"

"I'm confused. How many years has Xiao Huan been picked up by his mother, I am forgetful, and I almost can't remember this child." Mother Lin shook her head, "His mother doesn't like Dacheng's family. Never came back."

"His name is Fu Huan or Fu Huan?"

"I don't know, I can't remember, Xiaofei and Dacheng call him Xiaohuan." Lin's mother said, "He likes to read Xiaofei's novels. Xiaofei is busy with work and writes slowly. He often reminds Xiaofei fly."

"Brother Lin treats him differently from other kids nearby?" Hua Chong asked.

"Xiaofei and him get along better. By the way, when Dacheng first picked him up, Xiaofei bought him a computer, and Dacheng even quarreled with Xiaofei."

"Buy a computer?" Liu Zhiqin asked hurriedly, "Why do you think of giving the children a computer?"

"Xiaofei said that Xiaohuan is very talented in that. If there is no computer at home, it will really delay the child." Mother Lin thought for a while, "The computer is not new, Xiaofei seems to have bought it from an acquaintance, tell me I spent hundreds of dollars, and I didn't care."

Liu Zhiqin said: "Brother Lin, did you say that Xiao Huan is very talented in programming?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lin's mother said, "As soon as you said it, I remembered it. Xiaohuan often showed Xiaofei the programs she made, and was very happy. I couldn't understand, so I always heard Xiaofei praise him. .”

Liu Zhiqin knew it in his mind.

Lin's mother is getting old, her memory is not very good, and she can't recall more details about Xiao Huan. Hua Chong planned to go to the Municipal Bureau to ask acquaintances to help check the files, so she changed the topic, told the old man to pay attention to her health, and then It is said that Lin Xiaofei's book will be published soon.

Mother Lin was taken aback for a moment, then shed tears of relief, thanked her repeatedly, and kept saying "good people are rewarded".

Hua Chong comforted her, and was about to leave, when she suddenly heard her say: "I, I think of something."

Liu Zhiqin stepped forward and supported the old man, "What's the matter? Please speak slowly."

"The place where the Eternal Night Shines" can be published?" Mother Lin asked tremblingly.

"Correct."

"If you don't come today, I might never remember it again." Mother Lin blamed herself, "If I really forgot, how can I see Xiaofei in the future!"

Hua Chong said: "Don't worry, speak slowly."

"When Xiao Fei was seriously ill, he wrote a letter, saying that if there is a chance in the future, he would give it to Xiao Huan." Lin's mother said anxiously, "Say, tell him that "The Shining Place of Eternal Night" has been finished, it's a pity Unable to publish..."

Hua Chong and Liu Zhiqin looked at each other, and they both knew that this trip was the right one!

"Wait a minute, I'll look for that letter." Mother Lin tremblingly walked into the back room, saying as she walked, "It can be published, it can be published!"

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Liu Zhiqin's lips, and he sighed softly.

Ten minutes later, Mother Lin came out with a cowhide envelope, "Here, this is the letter Xiaofei wrote to Xiaohuan. I haven't read it, and I can't find Xiaohuan. If "The Shining Place of Eternal Night" can be published, Can I trouble you to do Xiaofei another favor?"

"Did you find Xiao Huan?" Hua Chong said.

Mother Lin nodded with tears in her eyes, "Xiao Fei was still thinking about Xiao Huan before he left, maybe this novel is also very important to Xiao Huan. I am old and useless, so I can't find Xiao Huan for him. You... "

"Don't worry." Hua Chong took the envelope, "We will try our best to find Xiao Huan and give him this letter."

Back in the car, Liu Zhiqin's finger rested on the seal of the envelope.

It wasn't glued in there, and no one took the letter out for five years.

"Want to see it?" Liu Zhiqin asked.

"Of course you have to watch it." After Hua Chong finished speaking, he added: "We are criminal police."

A letter with crooked handwriting revealed a dusty past.

The recipient's name is Fu Xuhuan, who should be the owner of the two ugly handwriting on the draft.

Probably when writing the letter, Lin Xiaofei was already in a very bad state. The letter was not long, and the paper was wrinkled.The gist of the letter was that I was suffering from lung cancer, and it was already at an advanced stage when I was diagnosed. I am afraid that I will not have the chance to meet again in this life. In my lifetime, "The Shining Place of Eternal Night" that I conceived together will not be published...

"But before I could no longer write, I did my best to finish it, not a single word was perfunctory.

Xiaohuan, thank you for your inspiration and advice.There is no doubt that it is the best work I have been writing for more than ten years, and I am proud and satisfied to be able to write it.

The world is impermanent, and I didn't expect that I would get sick at this age.The disease came too suddenly and disrupted all my future plans.

I have no future.

If God gives me some more time, I will definitely do my best to get "Eternal Night" published.Because it is not my work alone, it is done by both of us.

I'm sorry, Xiao Huan, my days are numbered, and I can't give you "Eternal Night" with my own hands.

How about you, how are you?Have you become a great hacker like you promised me when you were a kid?

If you read this letter in the future, you can ask my mother for all the texts of "Where the Night Shines".It belongs to me and it belongs to you.If you are able to get it published, please put both of our names on it.

It is a very special and very happy thing for me to know you.

My little confidant, I wish you a happy and safe life. "

After reading the letter, Hua Chong was speechless for a long time, Liu Zhiqin read it again from the beginning to the end, and said softly: "He... didn't mention the matter of being framed, he didn't say a word."

"This novel gave him pride and pride, and the dirty water from the outside world couldn't shake him a bit. He didn't even have a little self-pity." Hua Chongwei raised his face and murmured: "Lin Xiaofei, It turned out to be such a person."

"We probably all misunderstood it." Liu Zhiqin said: "We all thought he was a victim of cyber violence, but he himself didn't seem to think so."

"Internet violence left him covered in bruises, but he was not defeated. He continued to write and continue to treat until cancer took his life." Hua Chong said in a low voice, "If he hadn't been sick..."

"Then he can't fall down." Liu Zhiqin squeezed his fingers, "He will do his best to get "The Shining Place of Eternal Night" published and defend this novel that he is proud of. Flower team, do you still remember that sneak shot?" In the video, what did a member of Yi Linlang's team say?"

"Remember." Hua Chong said: "They said that people like him are very tenacious."

"Shameless sarcastic remarks." Liu Zhiqin said: "But in fact, he is indeed more tenacious than all of us imagined."

"Frankly speaking, I once wondered if he hadn't been sick, would he have chosen to commit suicide because he couldn't bear the curse from the outside world—just like Yi Linlang." Hua Chong took a deep breath, "I underestimated him .”

Liu Zhiqin looked ahead, "We underestimated the mind and perseverance of an ordinary person in the face of suffering."

The car was quiet for a while, Hua Chong said, "Are you still going to the Municipal Bureau?"

"Go." Liu Zhiqin started the car.

It is not difficult to find a person with a name and surname. Soon, the police from the Zecheng City Bureau found Fu Xuhuan.

"Has passed away?" Hua Chong frowned, "How is that possible?"

"That's what's written in the electronic file," said the policeman.

Liu Zhiqin said in a low voice: "He has hacked into the system, and modifying files is a piece of cake for a hacker of his level."

Hua Chong looked at the childish man in the photo, and didn't say a word for a long time.

Leaving the Municipal Bureau, Liu Zhiqin asked: "Do we need to report this discovery?"

Hua Chong nodded, "Should I call Captain Shen or you should call him."

"Go ahead. You're the boss."

Hua Chong took out his phone, hesitated for a few seconds, and then put it back.

Liu Zhiqin: "Huh?"

"Let's talk about it when we get back." Hua Chong said, "I still have to report to Lao Chen."

The car parked a little far away, and the two walked forward unhappily.

Liu Zhiqin said, "Should we still investigate later?"

"Do you still want to check?"

"This person, even if we find him and lock him down, we may not be able to do anything about him."

Hua Chong said: "It is true. He left us clues, but clues are not evidence."

"Besides, he is in West Asia, and there are diplomatic problems in apprehending him."

"That's what Team Shen and the others should worry about. We've done everything we can."

"But I still want to find Fu Xuhuan, at least give him Lin Xiaofei's letter. Let him know that Lin Xiaofei was not defeated by cyber violence, and that Lin Xiaofei is not a coward like Yi Linlang. As for the others..." Liu Zhiqin's tone changed slightly, "The Shen team will deal with them."

Hua Chong sighed, "It's not easy to find him."

"Try your best." Liu Zhiqin opened the car door, "He is also a terminally ill person, otherwise he would not retaliate crazily. This letter is probably the only medicine that can cure him."

Country X is not his hometown, but his hometown has long since lost his relatives.

In this sense, every corner of the world is the same.

Fu Xuhuan erased the traces of Yijia's monitoring program, deleted the bloody photos and videos together, turned off the computer, and stood in a daze in front of the black screen.

On each screen, there is his blurred, lonely, thin figure.

The room was large, the largest in the mansion.He regards it as his own workshop, where he is placed among the cold machines, earns a huge amount of wealth easily, and executes his revenge plan in an orderly manner.

Brother Xiaofei once praised him with a smile - Xiao Huan, you are the smartest kid I have ever seen, you are a genius.

He really deserves the name of a genius.

He has lived here for many years, and there is only one person from beginning to end.

In the past, he never felt that the villa was empty, but today he found that it was surprisingly deserted.

He looked around, and for a moment, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Before Yi Linlang committed suicide, his life was filled with hatred. Even in the vast and boundless world, he probably wouldn't feel empty.But now that Yi Linlang was dead, the hatred that had supported him until now dissipated in an instant.

In this world, the only person he loves is Lin Xiaofei, but Lin Xiaofei has already passed away; he hates many people, with Yi Linlang as the head, but they are almost dead.

No more love, no more hate.He suddenly felt drained, as if his life was gradually withering.

He walked out of the studio, went into the study, opened the drawer, and took out a notebook.

Turn over, every page is written with dense words.

In the past five years, he has read the unfinished "The Shining Place of Eternal Night" countless times, and often sees Lin Xiaofei in his dreams.

He asked eagerly, Brother Xiaofei, why didn't you finish writing it?

Lin Xiaofei smiled and said nothing.

Every time he wakes up, he opens his notebook and writes something down.

In literature, he has no accomplishments at all, and it takes a few days to write hundreds of words.Grinding so slowly, it actually added an ending to "The Place where the Eternal Night Shines".

He found a lighter, took the notebook and walked out of the house.

The weather in country X is dry and the wind and sand are extremely strong, so the fire is easy to ignite.

He squatted on the ground, tearing off the pages one by one, and the ashes were rolled into the pale sky in an instant, disappearing without a trace.

"Brother Xiaofei, I've avenged you." He murmured while burning the paper, "I added an ending to "Eternal Night". It's definitely not as good as yours. You just make do with it."

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and when the last page was burned, his fingertips were touched by the rising fire.

"Hiss..." He withdrew his hand and frowned.

In an instant, the memory flashed back to the past, when Lin Xiaofei was still very young and bought him a bag of popcorn.He took a sip and said, "It's not good."

Lin Xiaofei was delighted, "Then take it home and feed it to your uncle and aunt."

"Why don't you eat it yourself?" he asked.

"I don't like to eat." Lin Xiaofei said.

He wondered: "Why do you buy it if you don't like it?"

"I thought you liked it."

"You lied to me!" He was not fooled.

Lin Xiaofei pulled him aside and said in a low voice, "The old man selling popcorn is a lonely old man, it's not easy."

He was stunned for a long time, grabbed Lin Xiaofei's clothes, "Brother Xiaofei, you are so kind."

Lin Xiaofei shook his head with a smile, "This is not kindness. People live in this world and either choose to be evil or not to be evil. As for me, I just 'not to be evil', and I am still far away from true kindness."

He thought for a while, "Then I also want to be like you, a person who 'doesn't do evil'."

"Xiao Huan, be good." Lin Xiaofei patted his head, "Let's go, hurry back, I'll hurry up and write more tonight."

Looking at the fingers burned by the fire, Fu Xuhuan said to himself in a daze: "You think I did something wrong, don't you?"

Ashes were flying in the sky.

His voice was crying, "You think I've done something evil, don't you?"

In the wind and sand, in the ashes, the man's trembling shoulders looked extraordinarily thin.

Back in Los Angeles, Hua Chong transferred all the clues at hand to the special operations team of the Ministry of Public Security.

Shen Xun said on the phone: "This clue can be found by you and Zhiqin. The combination of 'Liu Yinhuaming' deserves its reputation, and Zhiqin transferred your serious crime team to be regarded as the right one."

Hua Chongxiao: "The burden is left to you, Team Shen, let's try to solve the case as soon as possible."

"Flower Team, you don't really want to 'solve the case', do you?" Shen Xun said.

"Where is it?" Hua Chong said, "Which policeman doesn't want to solve the case?"

"If you really want to, you and Zhi Qin will continue to investigate."

Hua Chong was silent.

"Then let me put it another way." Shen Xun said again: "This case has actually been solved in your heart."

"Captain Shen was joking."

Shen Xun smiled, "But it's okay, this is the case of our special operations team. Flower team, if you have any clues in the future, just report it in time."

"Of course." Hua Chong said: "Thank you for your hard work, tell Le Ran for me, next time I come to Los Angeles, I will definitely treat him to dinner."

"Okay, I'll tell him in a moment."

Putting down the phone, Hua Chong heard a cough.

He turned around and saw Xu Kan waving at him.

"The publication of "The Shining Place of Eternal Night" has been finalized, and publicity will begin soon. The manuscript fee and other proceeds will all be given to Lin Xiaofei's mother." Xu Kan leaned against the wall, watching Hua Chong tossing about the coffee machine that was about to break down.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Hua Chong said, "There is one more thing you need to communicate with the publishing house."

"what?"

"In addition to Fengfei 78, add another name to the signature."

Xu Kan was puzzled, "Who to add? Why?"

Hua Chong didn't go into detail about the letter, but said: "Brother Xiaoliu and I went to Zecheng again. Lin Xiaofei's mother said that "Eternal Night" was completed by Lin Xiaofei and a person named 'Xiao Huan'. Lin Xiaofei During his lifetime, he said that if this novel had a chance to be published in the future, he would add 'Xiaohuan' after his pseudonym."

"I see." Xu Kan sighed, "Okay, let me handle it."

"Thanks for your hard work."

After Xu Kan left, Hua Chong walked to the window with his coffee in hand, staring outside in a daze.

Suddenly, there was a gentle pat on the shoulder.He turned his head and was not surprised to see Liu Zhiqin.

The Office of the Serious Crime Squad returned to the calm when there was no case. Some people sat in their seats and read the files, and some went to help other teams of the Criminal Investigation Detachment.

"Team Chen granted us a few days off." Liu Zhiqin said, "We can take a good rest."

"How do you arrange it?" Hua Chong asked.

"The German shepherd you rescued is currently being adopted by the owner of the pet shop. No one is willing to take it in. It is related to a murder case. I guess, no one will take it in in the future. The boss thinks it is unlucky, and it is not very good. I want it. After a while, it may be disposed of." Liu Zhiqin suggested: "How about we go and have a look at it?"
