The old man followed behind Ye Linyun, hesitant to speak several times.

His hesitation was so obvious that Ye Linyun couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to. After picking up a few branches, he finally couldn't help asking him: "What's wrong?"

The old man shook his head cautiously.

Ye Linyun was a little impatient: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly,? Now we are just grasshoppers tied to a rope,? You don't need to always be so secretive."

The old man wiped his palms on the corner of his clothes, looked back again, and saw that no one was following, so he lowered his voice and talked about Xiao Tan.

"It's...it's nothing, just a little uneasy...Your friend,? I always feel, I always feel..." The old man stammered for a while before he managed to think of a slightly more euphemistic description, "I feel a little uneasy ,? I feel a little uneasy."

He also felt that there was something wrong with Xiao Tan.

But what exactly is wrong, but he can't tell a specific logic.

"It's not that I have any opinion on your friend." The old man said again, "Just, just... I don't think he's telling the truth."

Ye Linyun stopped, stared at the old man for a moment, and asked, "What do you say?"

Seeing that he was not angry, the old man dared to continue, but his voice was lowered: "Yesterday he said he was stabbed,? But I saw that the blood on his clothes didn't look like his own."

As he spoke, he pointed to the hem of his clothes, and slowly moved it down: "It seems that someone else's blood was splashed on it. It splashed from this place,? It will be like this."

But according to Xiao Tan,? He was attacked in his sleep? Then he fled all the way. How could he be stained with other people's blood?

Ye Linyun asked him back, "What do you think is going on?"

The old man thought for a while, and whispered with uncertainty: "I wondered if he regarded me as a bad person, so he concealed something?"

He was optimistic.

Xiao Tan and Ye Linyun are old acquaintances, but the old man is not,? He just narrowly escaped death, the wound on his body cannot be faked, and it is reasonable to be wary of strangers.

"How about..." The old man paused, glanced at their grandson, and continued, "I'll leave first, anyway, I'm an old man, maybe I'm not here, he is willing to leave You took it out."

The old man took his grandson's hand, and looked at Ye Linyun earnestly with some embarrassment.

"I just hope you can take Xiaoyu out." The old man said, "It doesn't matter what I do, anyway, an old bone is getting old, sooner or later... But Xiaoyu is still young and doesn't know anything, Take him, maybe it doesn't matter."

Ye Linyun realized what he meant, but was speechless for a while.

Are you serious?

Ye Linyun really wanted to ask this question, but the old man's expression didn't look like he was joking.

"Stop talking about these useless things, you are a policeman for nothing, of course you have to rescue us together." Ye Linyun blocked the old man's words, "Okay, stop talking nonsense and pick up more branches, maybe It can be seen sooner.”

The old man closed his mouth embarrassingly, and was a little moved, so he didn't have time to think about other things.

When Ye Linyun bent down to pick up the branches, his heart sank uncontrollably.

The old man is used to thinking of the good of people, but he can't.

But in such a situation, it is never a good idea to make enemies for yourself by acting rashly.

After thinking about it, the best way to get out of trouble right now is to stay where they are and wait for rescue. No one knows how many dangers there will be waiting for them in the deep mountains.

The only thing Ye Linyun never doubted was that his family and Qi Yueze would find a way to save him.

"Are you okay?" The old man turned his head inadvertently, and saw another figure, "Is the wound hurting again?"

Xiao Tan didn't know when he finally followed up, walking quietly.

But he walked very slowly, and his legs and feet seemed to be a little stiff. No wonder the old man was worried that his wound would deteriorate again.

The old man said and took two steps forward, trying to help him.

"Wait—" Ye Linyun reached out subconsciously, and grabbed the corner of the old man's clothes.

The action was too fast and violent, almost dragging the old man to the ground.

Ye Linyun's face turned pale.

As soon as the uncontrollable instinct came out, he had a bad premonition.

Xiao Tan stopped not far away.

"I just said that Second Young Master wouldn't be that stupid." Xiao Tan smiled at Ye Linyun, "He's also Teacher Ye's younger brother after all."

His tone really sounded like he was praising Ye Linyun.

However, Ye Linyun began to feel a little cold in his hands and feet.

"What are you talking about?" Ye Linyun forced himself to be calm, trying his best to maintain a calm tone.

"Didn't you already guess it?" Xiao Tan did not follow Ye Linyun's words.

He got a little impatient.

"It was interesting to see you panicked, but I didn't expect that someone would be willing to help you." Xiao Tan said regretfully, "It seems that some people are born to be young masters, and it's the same everywhere."

"What do you want to do?" Ye Linyun asked him.

"I didn't want to do anything, I was just curious." Xiao Tan didn't want to say more, "But that has nothing to do with you."

"I don't seem to have provoked you before." Ye Linyun said while scanning the side with his peripheral vision.

Xiaoyu was the closest to him, and the old man was still dazed, but he didn't dare to go any further.

Ye Linyun slowly walked forward a few steps, bypassing the old man.

Xiao Tan is thinner and weaker than him, and he stays in the laboratory all year round. If he fights alone, Xiao Tan is definitely not his opponent.

What's more, he was injured.

—he was still wounded.

Ye Linyun took only two steps before he stopped suddenly.

Xiao Tan took out a gun from behind.

The black muzzle of the gun was aimed at Ye Linyun's head.

"Anyway, it's useless for a person like you to live. It's better to reincarnate early and be a good person in the next life."

"boom--"

"Boom-"

Lin Jianqiu bumped his head against the window glass.

He woke up from his sleep in an instant and turned his head to look out the window.

It was already full light outside.

The car drove to the suburbs, the road was desolate on both sides, and there were no people in sight. Ye Huaishuang was in charge of driving, and when he heard the movement, he glanced to the side, feeling a little worried.

"There is still more than half an hour to go, you can sleep for a while."

He thought Lin Jianqiu was too sleepy.

Lin Jianqiu hadn't had a good rest for two nights in a row, and he stayed up all night yesterday. Everyone else changed shifts and slept for a while. Only Lin Jianqiu kept his eyes open until dawn, without resting for a moment.

It wasn't that other people deliberately oppressed him, he really couldn't sleep, even though his eyes were bloodshot, and the dark circles under his eyes were as heavy as a panda.

After getting into the car, during the nearly two-hour journey, he couldn't bear to close his eyes for a while.

Even for a short while he slept restlessly.

After waking up, he dared not close his eyes again.

Ye Huaishuang asked him: "Did you have a nightmare?"

The dark and gloomy alley flashed before his eyes again, and Lin Jianqiu's field of vision went black for a while, and there seemed to be gunshots echoing in his ears, or it might be an auditory hallucination caused by tinnitus.

The hand next to him reached out and touched Lin Jianqiu's forehead. The cool temperature made him wake up a little.

Lin Jianqiu rubbed his brows wearily: "...it seems so."

The phone rang suddenly, and Lin Jianqiu raised his hand subconsciously, but he couldn't hold the phone firmly, and it fell on his leg.

The screen of the phone was facing up, and the caller ID was Team Liang's name.

Lin Jianqiu rubbed his numb hand, picked up the phone and answered the phone, said "hmm" and quickly hung up the phone, then turned to explain to Ye Huaishuang.

"The people who went to the southwest have returned, and all the monitoring over there has been adjusted. No one has come and gone in the past week, and no suspicious cars or people have been seen in the north for the time being."

"We are the only one left here." Ye Huaishuang continued.

"The people in the southwest have all withdrawn, follow up immediately." Lin Jianqiu glanced at the car behind.

After a night of investigation, the scope was finally narrowed down to three places.

An abandoned factory area, which has been idle for more than three years, is comparable to a maze. Another is an old school area. Because of chemical pollution, the school was relocated, and the surrounding residents were also moved out one after another. It has long become a no-man's land.

A western mountain forest remains, which was initially considered the least likely.

The reason why it is considered to be the least likely is also very simple. The area is too wide and the terrain is too dangerous. The side of the mountain forest is facing the river, and the side close to the city is a large forest. It is very inconvenient to enter and exit.

There used to be a village inside, but after suffering from floods and mudslides about ten years ago, the entire village was moved away, and occasionally explorers would come here to climb mountains or hunt for treasure.

But in midsummer, there are almost no people here, especially when it is close to the rainy season, the number of people who have been trapped in distress due to heavy rain in the past ten years cannot be counted on one hand.

So the number of people who followed this direction was also the least, two cars, six people, including two non-staff people Lin Jianqiu and Ye Huaishuang.

"Team Liang asked us to find a hidden place outside the forest and wait for them. Don't act rashly for now."

Lin Jianqiu told Ye Huaishuang truthfully that he was not a reckless person in this respect.

"The results of the monitoring comparison over there are out."

Officer Gao who was sitting in the back row woke up at some point, and interrupted abruptly: "The two cars that appeared in the monitoring of this section of road are indeed the same as those in the disappearance case."

"In the first report, the same car appeared near the bar where the missing girl worked, near the school where the female college student worked, and near the hospital where the nurse worked, and the frequency was more than twice. a..."

Officer Gao obtained much more detailed information than Lin Jianqiu. He had read it from beginning to end, and he spoke in an orderly manner.

Although in fact Lin Jianqiu didn't need him to broadcast it again - those were the clues he found first, they just got confirmed.

While the two sides were exchanging information, Lin Jianqiu received another text message from Xue Che.

Lin Jianqiu looked at the phone screen for a long time without saying a word, and the other two naturally noticed his abnormality.

Officer Gao stopped and asked him, "What's wrong?"

Lin Jianqiu replied: "Xue Che has also found out that the person who has been in frequent contact with Xiao Tan is indeed the same person."

Ye Huaishuang frowned subconsciously: "That was at least three months ago."

Officer Gao asked Lin Jianqiu, "Is that really your reader?"

Lin Jianqiu said "hmm": "But it may not be that I really like my book."

Officer Gao guessed, "Is that because of that case?"

Lin Jianqiu nodded: "[-]% yes."

Officer Gao sighed, and also began to feel a headache.

More than three months ago, Lin Jianqiu assisted the police in cracking a rather special case.

A young man in the west of the city was found to have died suddenly at home by his neighbors. The initial investigation found that food poisoning had caused a heart problem. In addition, the young man stayed up late all year round and had a weak constitution. It was not surprising that he died suddenly at home.

The things on the table are all home-cooked dishes, but they are not cooked well and have deteriorated overnight, which is not surprising for a dead house.

After the police came to the door, they found nothing unusual, so they prepared to close the case by accident.

But something happened when the family members were notified to identify the dead body.

The deceased was a foreigner, and the police contacted his grandmother in the countryside of a certain city in a neighboring province. The old man followed the police to Yuncheng, shed tears outside the police station, and blurted out a sentence that was "a good death".

The old man hated the grandson deeply, and after taking a look to make sure he was dead, he left without looking back.

After all, she was old and trembling when she walked, and the police could not force her to do so, so she had to contact other relatives to discuss how to deal with the funeral, and at the same time, she learned the real situation of the deceased.

The deceased was a scum through and through. He didn't learn well when he was young. His only advantage was his good-looking face. In junior high school, he made a female classmate's belly bigger, causing her to drop out of school with depression. Not bogey.

He didn't study well, was lazy, dropped out of school after graduating from junior high school, and didn't go out to work, all relying on his face to walk among a bunch of lovers asking for money. He was really a soft-boiled boy with no sense of responsibility and responsibility.

Not only for his lover, but also for his family members.

The parents of the deceased had been working outside the home for many years and had no time to discipline their children, so they left their son to their grandparents. The elderly were soft-hearted and spoiled their eldest grandson blindly, reluctant to beat and scold them, giving them whatever they wanted. Some parents of the victim came to the house Sometimes, they also blindly defend their grandson with mud, and if it doesn't work, they deduct their pension savings and spend money to solve it.

Such bottomless doting quickly made them taste the bad results.

There was a girl in the city who was pregnant with this scumbag's child, and when she wanted to drag him into marriage, she unexpectedly discovered that she was just one of many small boats, and when she went to the hospital for an examination, she was already infected with the disease.

The girl couldn't think about it for a while, and jumped directly from upstairs.

That scumbag showed no heartache, let alone any introspection. The families of the victimized girls approached her door one by one, some asking for an explanation, and some taking the opportunity to demand compensation.

The scum pushed the old man out, took all the money in the family and fled.

Afterwards, he went to his parents, pretended to be an information messenger, and sold the rolls obediently. Not to mention the money, he even sent his own sister who was with his parents to the local snake's bed in exchange for travel expenses.

His parents didn't know it, and when they came to ask for an explanation for their daughter, they were seriously injured by local snakes.

Although the coward ended up in jail, the parents finally knew about the good deeds their son had done. They were already in poor health, and they died of anger when they didn't get up.

The underage sister is also missing.

When the news spread back to his hometown, this scumbag was completely notorious, and even his relatives were shameless, and he dared not show his face outside for a long time.

The culprit had already slipped away, and took the money to Yuncheng to temporarily settle down.

When he arrived in the new place, he kept a low profile, but secretly he was also a pimp. Just a week before his death, he tricked a young girl who had just come to work in Yuncheng to sell herself.

The little girl originally dreamed of being an actress, but when she woke up, she was turned into a plaything by a pile of nude photos.

He did these things fairly cautiously, and the police did not investigate until the murderer was found.

——This is also the killer's biggest motive for killing him.

But at that time, no one realized that the good-natured neighbor downstairs would be the murderer.

The neighbor seemed to be honest and kind, he could even be said to be a bully, doing simple physical work, but in fact he was proficient in chemical pharmacology and carefully planned a plan to poison the deceased.

By the time the body was found and sent for testing, the poison that actually caused the death was almost impossible to detect.

Lin Jianqiu happened to pass by that time, and when he heard about the case, he dropped by to join in the fun.

The little food waste left in the trash can made him feel that it was against the law, so he took it seriously, and walked around the surrounding area to inquire about news from time to time.

By the time he found the pharmaceutical waste that the murderer had thrown away at the time when he stepped on the garbage truck to recycle, the dead man's scumbag behavior had already been cast aside by the whole city—the media always ran extremely fast at such times.

The difficulty in solving a case lies in confirming that it is a murder and locking the range of suspects.

After determining the direction, finding evidence is not difficult at all.

It was the first murder for the murderer, and he didn't know to destroy all the evidence at home, including the photos that hinted at the grievances between him and the deceased.

There is also the row of professional books and experimental tools in his home, and even the killing props that he has not destroyed.

After the murderer was arrested and brought to justice, many people still felt sorry, because the scum of the deceased did not deserve to die.

But public opinion has nothing to do with Lin Jianqiu.

He was not mentioned in that report, and only a few insiders knew that he was also involved, and he almost turned the nature of the case on his own.

To Lin Jianqiu, this case was just one of countless homicide cases whose truth came to light.

At that time, a reader sent him a private message and asked him why in this world, the bad guys always go unpunished while the good guys get punished.

Lin Jianqiu never replied to private messages, but occasionally he would go online and take a look.

He wasn't ready to return, but the other party was unrelenting. Not long after, he sent news about the case again, asking him if he thought those who stood up for the heavens should be punished so severely.

"He could have gotten away with it."

Readers seem to feel wronged for the murderer.

But what he said was true. If Lin Jianqiu hadn't been busy during that time and worked overtime to guard outside, maybe the murderer would have escaped.

Or as long as he is more selfish and gives up the investigation after knowing what kind of person the deceased is, even if he turns a blind eye, the punishment will not fall on that honest and honest man.

Lin Jianqiu could have ignored these remarks that were gradually becoming extreme, but he finally replied.

To kill is to kill. Except for the law, no one has the qualifications to act on behalf of the sky.

It took a long time for that reader to reply with an ambiguous sentence.

"Can you promise that you will never waver?"

After that, the avatar of that account was completely pressed down, and there was no more movement.

More than three months later, Lin Jianqiu saw the same words in those letters from readers that contained hints and warnings.

The author has something to say:

I'm sorry that my wife was stuck two days ago, and I couldn't log in to the backstage at all. I just got stuck and checked the news. It's better to climb up today.

This period is too difficult. I hope that all the friends in Henan are safe, and the back row reminds that there is a typhoon recently. People in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai should stock up on food, water, and electricity. Instant noodles, pure water, and power banks are the best. Prepare in advance, just in case, hope you can get through this time safely
