shadow of crime

"--You came."

The scorching breath penetrated into the ear canal and burned along the sensitive nerves all the way to the brain, causing Jiang Bei's thinking to go blank for a while.

The devilish whisper was still biting his ears: "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

As soon as Jiang Beifu raised his hand, the muzzle of the gun on the back of his head was pushed hard, and the dull pain hit instantly.

"I advise you not to move around, if you want to save Lin An," Jiang Nan's voice became wet in the rain, "I put him in a good place, I will tell you where he is when I am happy, if he Dead, you should be very sad, right? We can't let this kind of tragedy happen, come on, give me the gun."

"Are you threatening me?"

"Well," Jiang Nan said honestly, "Of course, you can also kill me."

Jiang Bei froze in place, the hand behind him slid across his waist vaguely, his cold fingertips lightly touched his joints, gently snatched the gun from his hand, and threw it into the rushing river.

"Where's the phone? Do you take it out yourself or should I help you?"

Jiang Bei exhaled foul air, the cloth couldn't block any touch, the hand stirred in his pocket, as if teasing a cat, and then slid along the bone to the ear inch by inch, drawing a semicircle around the pinna , Gently took off his headset.

"Okay," Jiang Nan put down his gun and said, "You can look back at me now."

"...Where's Lin An?" Jiang Bei didn't look back, and even took a few steps forward, "I'm here, tell me where Lin An is."

Jiang Nan was a little disappointed. He sat on the fence with his eyes downcast. Behind him was the flowing river, and he would fall if he was not careful.He didn't answer Jiang Bei's question directly. He edited a text message with his mobile phone and said, "Do you know where this river will eventually flow? Not all rivers will go to the sea. Most of them die halfway. The Nanjiang River. It splits into two tributaries downstream, one leads to the crematorium, and the other turns into a stinking ditch."

The hot anger accumulated in his chest, Jiang Bei could no longer listen to his nonsense, stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Nan by the collar, forcing Jiang Nan to fall backwards: "I ask you, where is Lin An?!"

With half of his body hanging outside, Jiangnan suddenly thought of his mother and laughed unscrupulously.He looked directly into Jiang Bei's eyes, and the other party's extremely oppressive breath hit his face, teasing his sensitive nerves.

"Let go, don't be cowardly."

The neckline tightened suddenly, Jiangnan's breathing was blocked, and the metal zipper cut through the flesh of his neck. When the pain reached the top, the misty feeling of dying turned into a pleasure like a knife.When Jiang Nan heard Jiang Bei's knuckles creaking, he was so happy that he was dying, but at the same time, he was afraid that he would let go.

He squeezed out a few sobs in the lingering sound of laughter, and looked at Jiang Bei greedily and sadly: "...Where is he? I've already told you the answer."

He took out the phone, and the screen was on. Jiang Bei was about to grab it, but Jiang Nan loosened it with two fingers, and the phone instantly sank into the river.

"You should come with me."

"You are a lunatic," Jiang Bei said from the back of his teeth, his hands unconsciously choked Jiang Nan's neck, "You crawled out of the gutter... a maggot."

-

At the same time, Wangjiang Park.

Wang Zhipeng was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, grabbed Lao Li by the collar and asked, "What about the triangulation you did? Why did you lose Lao Jiang? Did you accidentally hang up the phone? Lin An hasn't Find it, and lose another one!"

Lao Li's face turned red, and he slapped Wang Zhipeng on the forehead. After breaking free from his claws, he coughed violently, and then said: "...how do I know? I guess he encountered a signal jammer. point."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I'm not crazy!" Lao Li was furious, "Hurry up, call Lao Jiang and see if he can get through."

Before the phone was dialed, the text message came. Wang Zhipeng was shocked, and even the hairs were serious: "Lao Jiang sent a text message, saying that Lin An was put on a boat by the suspect and thrown into the river! Such heavy rain , it is estimated that they have all rushed out of Ning'an City at this moment, no wonder no one can be found! Quick, search and rescue team!"

After finally waiting for the clue, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time cheered up.Water rescue is very difficult, and the rescue target is in a moving state, so it is impossible to determine the location. This is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

As for another possibility, no one thought about it.

"Use aerial photography."

A steady and powerful voice came, Xu Zhengyuan walked out of the rain with an umbrella, his left trouser leg was wet, and he walked with a limp."As soon as you spot a suspicious vessel, contact your local rescue team immediately," he said.

Wang Zhipeng opened the car door and wanted to help the old man into the car.Xu Zhengyuan waved his hand, and only asked: "A text message from Xiao Jiang?"

"Yes, SMS."

All the people present were silent for a moment, and they all knew that the premise of positioning was to make a phone call.Jiang Bei would not make such a low-level mistake, unless he couldn't make a phone call, or the text message was not sent by him at all.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhipeng broke into a cold sweat, and hurriedly dialed Jiang Bei's number, but the cold mechanical voice gave him a blow.

[Sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off. 】

"What to do, turn off the phone."

Xu Zhengyuan's face sank: "Old Li, which direction did Xiao Jiang go, and where is the last place?"

"Ten kilometers away!"

Xu Zhengyuan threw the umbrella and put on the raincoat handed over by Wang Zhipeng, "The remaining personnel search along the river! Pay attention to safety, the suspect is likely to be carrying a gun, and don't make too much noise so as not to alert the suspect, do you understand?!"

In the windy and stormy night, the lights in the distance went out one by one, and many people had fallen asleep. However, on the banks of the Funan River, the atmosphere was like a river, hidden and turbulent.Criminal police and search and rescue personnel conducted a blanket search, and when they saw passing mice, they couldn't help but want to arrest them for questioning.

"An investigation team did not find it."

"The third detective team has no clues here."

……

The icy and heavy breath diffused among the crowd, Xu Zhengyuan's eyes deeply sunken in wrinkles could not see any emotion, only his mouth was helplessly pursed into a sharp line.After a while, he said: "Expand the search scope and complete the search as quickly as possible!"

-

Bang-!

The two people who were inseparable from each other fell on the bridge at the same time. With blood in his mouth, Jiang Bei turned over to pick up the gun that fell a few meters away, and quickly aimed at Jiang Nan's eyebrows and pulled the trigger.

However, the expected bloody scene did not happen. Jiang Jiang wiped the blood from his face and said regretfully: "Ah~ I forgot to tell you, I took out the bullet, and you were cheated again."

Jiang Bei cursed secretly, and slammed down with the hard butt of the gun.The movements trained by the system are fast, precise and ruthless, but Jiangnan has been in the market since he was a child, and has already learned all kinds of crooked ways and peerless magic skills. He turned sideways, turned his elbow and hit the opponent's front door!

Jiang Bei raised his arm to block, holding Jiang Nan's arm and was about to fall over his shoulder. At the moment when he was about to jump up, Jiang Bei bent his knees and hooked Jiang Bei's right foot. With force, both sides fell to the ground with a crash.

The splashing water dazzled his eyes, and just as Jiang Bei got up, a huge force wrapped around his neck from behind, locking his next move firmly.

"Damn it." Jiang Bei scolded, the other party was hanging on his back like brown candy, and the two long legs were still tightly twisted around his legs, unable to use it at all.

"I have kept my promise, so you should follow me." Jiang Nan tightened his strength, thinking whether to knock Jiang Bei unconscious and drag him away, or break his leg directly.

Unable to break free, Jiang Bei simply fell backwards.

Bang!

A corner of the wooden fence was damaged by the huge impact, and the broken part pierced into the flesh like a sharp knife. Jiang Nan's half body was suspended in the air, and his hands finally let go of the clamp. Roll back to the bridge together.

Jiang Bei was full of hostility, like a wild beast that had been stimulated, with red eyes, he picked up the wooden stick at his feet, and smashed it down on his head and face!

Boom!

A force as heavy as a thousand catties struck, and the severe pain exploded on the arm Jiang Nan used to block, as if his bones were broken.He tried his best to raise his legs and twisted Jiang Bei's slender waist, tilted his head slightly, and the wooden stick fell on the place where he had just been lying on his ear, and broke with the sound.

Jiang Nan twisted Jiang Bei's head, and led them to roll around a few times, wrestling together.Two adult men of equal strength fought each other to the flesh, like untamed beasts, staged a scene where the weak preyed on the strong, and they would never stop dying.Jiang Bei held back his breath of blood, and slammed Jiang Nan's cervical spine hard. At the same time, his own neck was drawn into a strange arc, and his bones creaked.

With a muffled snort, Jiang Nan suddenly raised his leg and kicked Jiang Bei's abdomen. He quickly got up and spat out blood, and moved his shoulders and neck while holding his neck.The rain dilutes the blood on his face, and there are several wounds on Jiangnan's pale skin, making his eyebrows and eyes even more bewitching and unruly.

Panting for breath, he looked down at Jiang Bei who couldn't afford to cover his belly, raised half of his mouth, and said, "Why bother? The result is the same anyway."

Jiang Bei didn't answer, but frowned and gasped a few times.

"Are you OK?"

Jiang Nan's eyes froze, and he quickly stepped forward to help Jiang Bei, but just as he stretched out his hand, the half-dead man on the ground jumped up and kicked, and swept Jiang Nan's face aside heavily.

The smell of rust filled his mouth, and Jiang Nan staggered a few times, standing still with his hands on the railing, laughing silently.Bloodshots crawled all over the gaps between the white teeth, and he raised his black eyes in this ferocious posture.Jiang Bei's figure flashed quickly in his pupils, before he could see clearly, a strong force grabbed his waist and forced him to crash into the railing behind him.

boom!

The fence couldn't withstand the gravity of several hundred kilograms, and it broke at the middle. Jiangnan's center of gravity was unstable, and he turned over and fell down in an instant.Almost at the same time, that bad species grabbed the edge of the stone bridge.

The wind and rain did not stop, the river was rushing, and the scene of that year was staged again.Jiang Nan was hanging in mid-air, only relying on one arm to support the weight of his whole body. He didn't care what the dirty water was under him. He just raised his face to look at Jiang Bei's sharp jaw, and flapped his lips:

"help me......"

The spell sounded, and Jiang Bei was like a puppet manipulated by a thread, and the poor child 13 years ago who was trying to survive appeared in front of his eyes.

"There is a child in the water, he is still alive, he wants to live so much!" He shouted to the rescue team at that time, but after a night of search and rescue, only the bodies of two adults were recovered, and the child was gone.Afterwards, everyone told Jiang Bei that the child might just be his hallucination.There were so many people talking about it, Jiang Bei himself believed it—the child must have run away halfway, and had never been to the river at all. His mother was the only one who jumped into the river, and he didn't look for the child anymore.

But now the child was in front of him, speaking exactly the same words as that night.Jiang Bei took a step forward uncontrollably, staring at Jiang Nan's hand. The little hand that he failed to grasp at the beginning clung to the edge of the bridge, as if giving him a second chance.

"help me......"

Jiang Bei raised his eyes, the cold light in his eyes was colder than the winter wind: "You should have died 13 years ago."

As soon as these words came out, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, Jiang Bei's tense body gradually stretched out, and then he picked up a wooden stick with a sharpened end, pointed it at Jiang Nan's hair, and said coldly: "Go die."

Jiang Nan was not afraid, and a smile appeared in the fox's eyes: "Let's go together."

The hand protruding from hell grabbed Jiang Bei's ankle at the last moment.

The heavy rain washed away the bridge deck, and the rainwater flowed down with blood, and the smell of blood wafted in the wind.The night was heavy and there was no one around, only the damaged fence proved that someone had been here.
