rotten love

Trouble, trouble, what a boring life.

In the dim room, Su Mubing sat on the dusty floor, her tone seemed low and weak, then she fiddled with her long and slender hair, and looked at the small living room.Because it is located on the first floor, some places where the wallpaper is affected by moisture can be seen to be peeling or moldy, and the interior furnishings are simple, with only a small single sofa and a glass coffee table.

"Trouble?" The woman standing in front of Su Mubing was called Chu Xia, looking at Su Mubing who was sitting on the ground without a thought, she asked in puzzlement, "Aren't we, as correction officers, just dealing with these things?"

Looking at the fixed line of corpse traces on the floor of the living room, Su Mubing sighed, "Yes, we are dealing with troubles, but this city called 'Modu' is divided into three, six, and nine grades by a taboo wall, which itself is It is a kind of trouble. The Modu Mansion does not act, and the correctional bureaus in various districts are lax, and the crimes that breed can be seen everywhere, but we turn a blind eye. As correction officers who guard the law and order, we exist to deal with our own troubles."

Seeing Su Mubing's negative mood, Chu Xia didn't know how to comfort him.

"Modu is divided into three classes, Chuxi, Hanchuan, and Manhui, respectively, are upper-class people, countrymen, and low-class people. Hanchuan has steep mountains, difficult development, and barren land is looked down upon by people, while Manhui is regarded by a group of high-ranking people. The taboo wall of about 20 meters is completely isolated, like livestock in captivity, without any law and order, everyone has the right to execute anyone, and only we Chuxi people are noble, but even so noble, it is also divided into 13 A block, the larger the number, the closer to the taboo wall, and the closer the marked block, the more it resembles a block." Looking up at Chu Xia, Su Mubing said indifferently: "This month is already the number of homicide cases in our 13th district. ?”

Pursing her lips, although she didn't want to admit it, Chu Xia still said it: "The seventh time."

"Seven times." Su Mubing couldn't help sighing, "It's my lucky number." Then Su Mubing got up, glanced at the fixed lines of the two corpse traces on the ground, "the young girl was defiled by her adoptive father, at a good age Bearing the sins, he couldn't bear to kill his adoptive father in the end, but committed suicide because of his own guilt." With a slight arc on the corner of his mouth, Su Mubing shook his head, "What a boring life..."

"Then, what do you think? The case is over, and there is no one else in Zi'an's family." The Zi'an mentioned by Chu Xia is the owner of this room and the criminal in this case. "She has already killed her." Shen Yiyan, her adoptive father, also ended her suffering. All we correction officers can do is to investigate the truth of the matter. Now that the truth has emerged, what else can we do? You became a correction officer at the age of 17, and now Ten years, this kind of thing, get used to it, just fine~"

Snapped!

"It's a correctional officer who can't fucking get used to it!" Su Mubing couldn't restrain his emotions and roared, kicking the sofa with his side leg.

The overturned single sofa fell to the ground, and at the base of the sofa, there was a notebook tightly taped.Seeing this scene, Su Mubing also calmed down, then tore off the tape, and opened the slightly wrinkled black notebook.

Chu Xia also moved forward curiously.

The white page was filled with distorted words, exuding a strong aura of hatred.

Shen Yiyan die!

Shen Yiyan die!

Shen Yiyan die!

…………

And a coated paper card about fifteen centimeters long and seven centimeters wide fell from the notebook to the ground.After Su Mubing picked it up, he saw that it was a Gothic painting. It was a demon squatting on the ground, lying on his chest with his arms crossed, and sharp nails pierced his arms, spilling red blood.

The card is reversed, with a gray base, and a black rose flower is engraved on the back, with the fallen petals floating downward.

And when Su Mubing looked at this rose, a crack called fear appeared in the memory that had been frozen for a long time deep in his heart.

"Dark Rose."

Muttering the name.Su Mubing turned her head and looked at the fixed line of corpse traces on the ground again, as if she understood something from Zian's murder and suicide.

In District 13 of Chuxi, there is a private two-story residential house at the end of an unnamed alley. Most of the surrounding residential houses have been renovated, and it seems that only here remains the same.The black iron gate is facing the back door of the house in front, and there is a long bluestone floor in the middle.

It's the end of autumn, and the dry leaves are filled with cracks in the bluestone that can be glimpsed.

Some luxuriant flowers and plants are placed in the courtyard of the house, while a lace-shaped flower pond is attached to the wall outside the courtyard. The chaotic Guanyin grass in the courtyard is in sharp contrast with the courtyard.

The first floor has two bedrooms, one living room, one bathroom and one kitchen, and the same is true for the second floor. The furnishings in the home are simple. The living room only has an old sofa, surrounded by a new glass coffee table, and a radio is placed on it.Other than that, there isn't much furniture.

"Ling Jue, after watching for so long, what did you see?"

It was late at night, and the youthful Leng Ruochen stood in front of the balcony of the living room on the second floor, looking at Ling Jue, who was seven years older than him, and then through the lit window, he saw a family inside. .

A young couple in the room leaned forward to hug each other, the woman caressed the man's face, her gentle eyes turned into a beautiful crescent moon, looking from afar, they were very much in love with each other.Just when the woman was about to kiss the man, she seemed to have noticed Ling Jue and the two of them. She stretched out her hand and pulled down the curtain, and the dim light went out.

But Ling Jue, who was at the side, was still looking at the dark window, then took a sip of the water in his glass, as if sighing, "I see sadness."

"They are very happy, why are they sad?" Leng Ruochen looked at Ling Jue who was going downstairs.

Looking back, Ling Jue was indifferent, but seemed to be regretting, "I'm talking about the ending."

"Then how do you know the ending is sad?"

"As you said, they are too happy."

Pausing his steps, Leng Ruochen looked at Ling Jue's black back, and said nothing.Turning around and gently opening the bedroom door, I saw an 11-year-old girl lying on the bed and falling asleep soundly in the room with the lights off.After closing the door, he walked downstairs.

In the living room on the first floor, Ling Jue sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette. When he saw Leng Ruochen approaching, he said, "I'm going to make preparations in the next few days. If he asks for it next time, I'm going to perform the baptism. Your mission is almost over, too."

Leng Ruochen glanced at the newspaper on the coffee table, the date has been over a month now, and the headline published a news item, "The Case of the Young Girl's Patricide", and then nodded in response: "Understood."

"What, are you afraid?"

With a long sigh, Leng Ruochen said calmly: "I have lived in Chuxi with you for seven years. Although the two districts are blocked by a high hunting wall, in comparison, there is nothing like Manhui here. difference."

"Chuxi is managed by the Modu Mansion, the Punishment Bureau has security, good transportation, and a bustling market, but Manhui is a land of no one, killing, looting, and gangs. Without strong support, it is still difficult. Survival, how can there be no difference." Ling Jue said calmly.

"It's just on the surface, it looks like the same chaos to me, but the people here are dressed in shiny fur."

With a slight grin on the corner of his mouth, Ling Jue seemed to feel a little joy, and asked softly, "So, are you afraid?"

Looking down at Ling Jue sitting on the sofa with indifferent eyes, Leng Ruochen looked a little disdainful, "That's what you think." After saying that, he turned and walked to the second floor.

After Leng Ruochen went upstairs, a woman, about 25 years old, named Anima, walked out of the bedroom next to the kitchen on the first floor. She was wearing a black one-piece skirt, just like Leng Ruochen, both with short black hair. , but Leng Ruochen's hair naturally bends down to her shoulders, while Anima's is straight and shoulder-length.

"Lord Ling Jue, it's ready, and it can be carried out tomorrow." Anima's cold face showed no emotion.

After lighting a cigarette, Ling Jue nodded thoughtfully.

The black night sky was covered by dark clouds, and the rain followed the howling wind and soaked the entire Modu. The cold feeling seemed to have abandoned the late autumn and entered the cold winter.

The dim street lamps on the side of the street illuminated a long street. It was late at night, and the 13th district fell into a deep sleep in Chuxi.

The clean clothes could not escape the sudden heavy rain, Su Mubing held the coat above his head with both hands, quickly jumped the steps from the wet street, and stood under the eaves of a closed shop.

Having just returned from working overtime at the Corrections Bureau, Su Mubing looked towards the end of the street, about one kilometer away from home, and the pouring rain did not seem to give him a chance to escape.

boom! ——

Suddenly a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, the instant light and the huge thunder shocked Su Mubing's nerves, and through the flickering vision, Su Mubing saw the evil.

In the dark alley diagonally opposite, two masked men were robbing a girl with knives.

Four eyes facing each other.

The girl's terrified eyes seemed to catch hope.

"Save me! Save me!"

Then a crisp slap was heard.

Su Mubing threw away his coat, pulled out the penis from his waist, and shouted loudly: "Let her go!"

Seeing no one responded, Su Mubing carefully moved forward holding the gun in both hands.

The dark night sky blocked the line of sight, and the sound of the heavy rain made it difficult to hear what was going on inside.

boom! ——

Lightning flashed, and thunder resounded. At this moment, Su Mubing saw the girl collapsed on the ground, her body trembling unceasingly, and her eyes full of fear also looked at Su Mubing.

The two criminals have disappeared.

Wearing Su Mubing's loose bathrobe, the girl came out of the bathroom wiping her hair with a towel in her hand, and immediately saw Su Mubing standing in the kitchen making noodles.Unconsciously looking around, the house is not big, one bedroom and one study room, a low glass coffee table is placed in the living room, a gray sofa is attached to the wall, and through the half-closed study door, one can see the An easel, and an unfinished landscape watercolor at the drawing board.

Seeing the girl walking out, Su Mubing hurriedly picked up a cup of hot water and handed it over, and asked with concern: "How are you? Are you all right?"

Pursing her lips lightly, the girl sat on the sofa and nodded. After taking the water cup, she held the cup with both hands and blew the hot air gently, then raised her eyes to look at Su Mubing, "Thank you, I'm thanks to you tonight."

"It's okay, but you, why haven't you come home so late?"

Unconsciously, she lowered her head, and the hair of the girl's shawl also covered her side face, and then she murmured: "I don't have a home, and because I don't have a security card, I haven't been able to find a job. I was kicked out by the landlord when I was discovered by the landlord tonight. "

"Is the security card lost? Have you contacted your parents?"

The security card is an identity card issued for the Modu Prefecture. It is enjoyed by the people of Chuxi and Hanchuan. It is also used to distinguish the Hui people and prevent them from crossing the border.

Turning her head away, the girl said reluctantly: "I am from Manhui. I have no family. I ran out." Seeing the uniform of a correctional officer hanging on the hanger at the entrance, the girl's voice was crying, "Are you Punishment Officer, I know that people who cross the border without permission will be exiled, and I don’t want to cause you any trouble, so send me to the Punishment Bureau early tomorrow morning.”

"Uh..." Hearing the girl's words, Su Mubing didn't know what to say for a moment, then got up and put the noodles made in the kitchen on the coffee table, "I live alone, and I don't usually pay much attention to food, I hope you don't mind."

Brushing her hair behind her ears, the girl stared at Su Mubing in a daze, choked her throat, and asked hesitantly, "Why?"

"Why?" Su Mubing looked a little puzzled.

"Why are you so kind to me?" Tears welled up in the girl's eyes, she pursed her lips and suppressed crying, "I'm from Manhui, even if you kill me now... no one will care..."

"I won't do anything to you, and I won't send you to the Punishment Bureau." Su Mubing stood up and walked to the study, then pointed to the bedroom, "You sleep in my bedroom tonight, I sleep in the study, the bedroom door The key is in the lock, you can lock it back." After saying that, Su Mubing walked into the study, and then closed the door.

Reaching out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, the girl couldn't help showing a refreshing smile.

Dong dong dong

In the cramped study room, Su Mubing was lying on a single bed, other than that, there was only a wooden easel, and the walls were covered with Su Mubing's paintings.

Hearing the sound of the door, Su Mubing got up and opened the door lightly, and saw the girl wearing Su Mubing's large white bathrobe, with her hands covering the loose neckline.

"What's wrong?" Su Mubing asked.

Opening her mouth, the girl seemed to muster up a lot of courage, "You...what's your name? You saved me, I..."

"Su Mubing."

Hearing Su Mubing's gentle tone, the girl also relaxed a lot, and then smiled, "Lu Xiaoyu."
