shadow of crime

In the twilight, the lights of thousands of families dispel the darkness, and red lanterns are hung everywhere in the cold steel forest, creating an illusion of excitement.It was raining heavily and there were not many pedestrians on the road. Holding a black umbrella, Jiangnan walked from Wangjiang Park to a residential area.

He's been here before.

More than ten years ago, the south bank of the Funan River was still desolate, and there was a small village that was not considered rich. He forgot when he came here, anyway, his mother brought him here.

Jiangnan vaguely remembered that it was winter when he first came here, and his mother wrapped him in a blanket. At that time, his mother was still normal and knew that children should not catch cold.Jiang Nan peeled off a corner of the blanket, revealing beautiful eyes and looking timidly at the villagers on both sides of the road.

In fact, his mother was born beautiful, with fair skin and a plump body, and the bloated old cotton clothes couldn't hide her fucking charm.Those yellow-faced aunts showed contempt in their eyes and talked in low voices, while the rough guys were very happy, baring their big yellow teeth full of smoke stains and couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear.

That was the first time Jiangnan felt sick.

His mother is not like other people, who have to work in the fields to have food.The rice bowl in their house is always full, and there are pork and malted milk on the stove. Their life is better than that of Aunt Wang who works hard every day next door.

At that time, Jiang Nan felt that his mother was really capable, beautiful and capable, and there was endless rice just sitting at home.But the walls of the houses in the country are thin, and rumors and rumors spread to Jiangnan's ears through the cracks in the walls. He thought, his mother is really "capable"!

But this is not a long-term solution. His mother was beaten by those village women, her delicate face was covered with red color, and the scar left after the wound healed never disappeared.His mother is not beautiful anymore, the worm-like scars are trapped in her ugly crow's feet, and when she smiles, the worm comes alive.

His mother is no longer "competent", she spends all day drinking at home, her body loses weight rapidly, and her skin is like a piece of crumpled white paper.The woman changed completely, and she yelled at Jiangnan with her bulging eyes: "Get out, get out and work! I gave birth to you and raised you, now it's your turn to raise me!"

Jiangnan's small hands and shoulders couldn't lift it up, and his mother sat aside and taught him like crazy: "You are so useless! Why are you not as good as the kid next door?! I shouldn't have you in the first place. I should want your brother! Quick! Work quickly! Or you will starve to death."

The young Jiangnan didn't cry, but looked sideways at the child next door who was playing with a spinning top.

"Don't be lazy!" His mother jumped behind her and kicked away the wine bottles all over the floor. Like a mad dog, she rushed forward and grabbed Jiang Nan's ear, and pinched red marks on his white skin with the other hand, "I'll let you do it!" Live, you are so useless! I want...I want to find your brother, you useless bastard!"

Jiang Nan quietly followed his mother to an orphanage, and saw the child who was exactly like him.The child is dressed in beautiful clothes, playing from slide to seesaw, like a lively little fox.

Jiangnan understands, the two brothers are a fucking gamble, his mother can't afford to raise two cubs, so she chooses one of them to take with her, in a vain attempt to water a big tree with a glass of water, so that she will have no worries for the rest of her life .

But the fucking bet was lost.

Jiang Nan was not very surprised when he saw the child, but a bold idea came to his mind - to replace him!

His mother was crazy, but she didn't seem to be crazy. When she saw the child's innocent face, the woman ran away without taking the child home.But his mother started going to church, to bless her other son, may he always be innocent and happy.

In the days to come, Jiang Nan was sure his mother was crazy and terminally ill.The woman poked his head with her sharp nails and yelled, "Laugh! Why can't you laugh like your brother?! Why can't you go out and play with others like your brother?! You want to do it like this For whom? Like a ghost, why are you like a ghost? You useless debt collector!"

The woman put a label on Jiangnan—a bad guy, a debt collector.Jiang Nan thinks what his mother said is right, because he has a ghost mother, his mother is soaked in the smelly sweat of men, and she rots along with him, and eventually grows into what his mother calls "bad things".

He is the most fucking failure.He thinks his mother is really a fortune teller, and he is right!

Looking at her little sapling rotting in the soil, Shenzhu became more and more anxious, pulling her hair with fingers like dead branches, and screaming hysterically: "Laugh! Laugh! Don't be like a ghost!"

His mother firmly believes that dutiful sons come out of sticks, and hurriedly went back to the house to get the guy.Jiang Nan squatted in the corner with his back to his mother. Just before the stick fell, he turned around and showed his mother what was in his hand.

It was a kitten, lying bloodied in the palm of Jiangnan's hand, and there was another kitten that was exactly the same on the ground, meowing in a milky voice.

The stick fell in response, the fucking chest heaved violently, and the widened bull's eyes shot out a frightening cold light from the initial panic to the end.

"Go to hell, go to hell! Go to hell! Ghost kid!"

It was raining, and his mother strangled Jiangnan's neck and strangled him to death.The villagers heard the movement and braved the heavy rain to watch the excitement, as if the mother and son were a good dish for dinner.

——The son of a bad woman is a bad boy, and a bad boy has to be taught a lesson, otherwise he will be like his mother in the future.

Everyone thinks so.

His mother stopped under the gaze of everyone.Yes, no body can be left, or she will be caught!She picked up Jiangnan's collar and dragged it across the muddy path to the bank of Funan River where the sewage was rushing.

Right here, no one will notice.

The heavy rain ruined her fucking sanity, she continued to pinch Jiangnan's neck: "Go to hell!"

Jiang Nan laughed amidst his mother's curses like sharp knives, the laughter was intermittently pinched by his mother's hand.

"Ghost kid, it's my fault, it's all my fault..." The rain covered his mother's face, and the scars at the end of her eyes squirmed disgustingly with her expression, "My fault, let's go together... "

Before Jiang Nan realized what his mother meant by "together", his thoughts were interrupted by a whirl, and then dirty and smelly sewage was poured into his lungs unscrupulously.

Then he heard the sound of falling into the water, it was his mother.

He doesn't want to die with his mother!

Jiangnan held on tightly to the aquatic plants on the bank to prevent himself from being washed away by the water.After waiting for a long time, or a short time, he welcomed a big kind hand.

"Don't be afraid, give me your hand." The visitor said.

Jiang Nan tried his best to open his eyes and saw the big brother clearly.He felt that his big brother was the one who could pull him out of the gutter, and from then on, he would be as happy as that little fox.

But the sky failed, and the big brother failed to catch him after all...

The torrential rain slammed on the black umbrella, and there was no one under it.The umbrella that no one was holding was rolled all over the ground by the wind, stained with mud, and the umbrella surface fell off, leaving only the iron umbrella stand. Anyone who came here without paying attention would get their legs scratched.

Ten p.m.

There are countless bright flashlights swimming in Wangjiang Park, making it impossible for mice hiding in dark corners to hide.The search and rescue team searched the park several times. The police dogs sniffed every place, but they refused to bark.

"Team Jiang, the heavy rain has severely damaged the scene. Even if there is a smell, it will probably be washed away..." The search and rescue team didn't continue, but everyone present understood—if they couldn't find it, Lin An either didn't. been here, or...

No one dared to think about the latter hypothesis.

Jiang Bei turned his eyes away from the dark river, strode towards the black SUV on the side of the road with the bitter winter wind in his arms, and pushed open the door: "Old Li, has the surveillance analysis been found?"

"It's difficult." The light from the computer screen reflected Lao Li's face blue, "The surveillance camera's shooting effect is not good. When it rains, it will be blurred like nothing. Zooming in is useless!"

Wang Zhipeng, who had no work, sat on the sidelines and worried: "Are you not good enough in business? If you can't do it, replace it!"

"I can't do it, and no one in this game can do it! You who pick up people's fingerprints and footprints every day don't understand, so don't talk nonsense, get out of here, and don't disturb my work!"

These two old slickers quarreled and refused to let anyone else go. Wu Zichuan in the back seat cried anxiously, wiping away tears, and said, "Stop arguing, Brother Lin is still alive or dead?"

"Isn't there a 'life' in 'life and death'?" Wang Zhipeng couldn't see the big man crying, "put away those useless tears of yours, you are not dead yet, why don't you cry here?"

Wu Zichuan immediately stopped crying, and watched Lao Li analyze the surveillance video with his eyes flushed.It's okay if you don't watch it, but when you watch it, your heart will be chilled. The video seems to be broadcast from an old TV, densely covered with snowflakes.

"It can't be done," Lao Li rubbed his sore neck, "The rain fell suddenly, and the air humidity and temperature difference caused water mist inside the camera. Lao Jiang, let the search and rescue team look carefully."

Jiang Bei pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice: "I have searched many times..."

Lao Li also had no choice but to comfort him: "The monitoring on the bus confirmed that the suspect got off at the Wangjiang Park Station. Let's look for it again, and we will definitely find it."

Can you find it?Jiang Bei thought, didn't he also fail to catch the child back then?So the kid was punishing him.

"When I catch that brat, I'll have to unload him!" Wang Zhipeng slammed the car door, and when he got angry, he spoke without thinking, "That brat chose this day on purpose! On the 27th, rainy day, It's exactly the same time and scene as the drowning case! What does he want to do? To reappear the style of a drowning dog? Or do he want to wait for Jiang to save him? If he doesn't just collapse, he will give him face!"

After Wang Zhipeng had finished speaking, Lao Li reminded him, "Don't say any more." By the way, he glanced at Jiang Bei's dark face, and came to comfort him as an afterthought: "Old Jiang, don't take it to heart, Lao Wang has garlic for dinner. Mouth stinks."

"No, Lao Wang is right," Jiang Bei looked at the hazy rain curtain, "He is replaying the past, trying to make me regret it, and he is still waiting for me to 'save' him. He hid Lin An, If I don't look for him, I may never see Lin An again."

"Old Jiang, calm down, we have so many police officers, it is impossible to find them."

"But he fooled everyone's eyes and fooled everyone! If he hadn't gone crazy and killed Cheng Ye, everyone would still think that the murderer was someone else! He is a born criminal, you believe he will leave clues Shall we find Lin An?"

The atmosphere in the car suddenly became heavy, and no one spoke anymore, because what Jiang Bei said was right, the suspect had tricked everyone, and it wouldn't hurt to do it again.

It was a bad breed that grew from bad to big.

"You keep guarding here, and notify me immediately if there is any situation." Jiang Bei took up the gun, "Lao Li, I will call you now, you can triangulate me, and if you find something abnormal, bring someone to me."

Wang Zhipeng's heart moved: "Where are you going?"

Lao Li looked at the back that quickly disappeared into the rain, and said, "Can't you see it? I've gone to find someone."

"Where is he going to look for it? I think he is looking for death. He is a murderer! No, I'm going to bring him back."

Lao Li hurriedly stopped him: "Calm down for a while. Do you know why sister-in-law is dissatisfied with you?"

Wang Zhipeng was taken aback: "Why?"

"Because you really are an elm head!"

-

The torrential rain poured down, and was soon tormented by the wind into "huge waves", and the trees on both sides of the bank suddenly tilted.Jiang Bei ran along the bank of the river, stepping on a puddle of water. The drenched windbreaker stuck to his body, outlining powerful but not exaggerated muscle lines.

His ears were almost soaked by the rain, and he even had auditory hallucinations. He heard a weak cry for help through the noisy rain.Jiang Bei trembled all over and stopped in his tracks.

He did hear it, the phrase "Help me" was mixed in the rain, piercing his body like a sharp arrow.

The remote control car screamed behind him with a tape recorder, and then circled around Jiang Bei's feet. The camera hole at the top seemed to be watching whether he brought anyone. After confirming that there was no one, he turned around and drove slowly into the rain.

Jiang Bei followed the car for an unknown amount of time before walking onto a promenade that spanned both sides of the river.The car was still moving forward, Jiang Bei clenched the gun tightly in his hand, and as soon as he took a step, the cold muzzle of the gun silently pressed against the back of his head.

With a little joy, the familiar voice whispered in his ear: "You are here."
