slip through the net [criminal investigation]

, go back quickly, or you will get sick, and I won't have time to take care of you. "

Jiang also shut up obediently, stuffed the bento bag through the crack of the door, turned and left the city bureau.Instead of returning home, however, he went in the opposite direction.

He will rescue the applicant.at all costs.

35. Drink ice

There are only a few places where people can hide in the city bureau, Gu Yuzhe seized the time to sneak around one by one, and like a chicken, he carried Xiao Chen who had run away from his post and returned to his post. Erdi rushed back to the criminal investigation office to help.

The office is running around in a hurry, but the division of labor is clear.Those who watch the video watch the video, and those who check the running water check the running water. It is as lively as a vegetable market.

Only Wang Yu was leisurely supervising the work leaning on the door. Everyone here didn't know that his family tree had been pulled out, and he was looking up the eighteen generations of his ancestors backwards.

Xie Linren had already arrived at the hospital, took a look at Lu Weiwei, told her she was safe, brought Qin Yile back, and talked side-by-side with the injured "enthusiastic citizens" one by one, not to mention how difficult and dangerous the process was up.

Qin Yile also ran around for a day. Originally, Xie Lin asked him to go home to rest. Who knew that when he heard that something happened to the boss, he rushed back to the city bureau without saying a word, and joined the army of watching videos.

Before Xie Lin left, he ordered a little brother surnamed Lu to go to Ying Cheng's house to watch Jiang Huan. Naturally, he felt that it was nothing serious, and continued to be busy overturning Ying Cheng's case, leaving Jiang Huan out of the blue, and didn't even notice when he left the city bureau.

Lancheng has been hot and dry for a month, and the temperature only rises but does not fall. After days of sunny days, it is finally looking forward to the heavy rain of this day. Of course, it falls very happily, as if it is going to wipe off all the water that has accumulated for a month on this night. .

Jiang Huan's pitiful umbrella was useless in such a rainy day, and his left and right bodies were drenched, so he simply threw the umbrella away, one foot deep and the other shallow, and stumbled towards an abandoned warehouse in the west of the city. ——Located in Chenjia Lane, the place at the end of Zheng Yuanfeng's escape.

He didn't tell Yingcheng that not long ago, he met the person he least wanted to meet in this warehouse.

Therefore, he knew everything, he knew that Zheng Yuanfeng would come here in the end, he knew which sewer Ying Cheng and the others would be trapped in, and he also knew that if he didn't go, the only thing waiting for Ying Cheng was death.

——At the beginning of the game, he got the script of this conspiracy and had to participate in it.

He walked into the dark old warehouse, only to feel the cold belatedly. It was so cold that his blood vessels seemed to be frozen. When he moved, his joints made a "rustling" sound, which was mixed with the sound of the rain outside. Together, they form an eerie duo.

"Where are you! I'm coming! Come out!"

No one responded.

Only the water was dripping, and someone had a blurry figure in the dark night, like a water ghost, quietly jumped down from the window, landed silently, dragging a large raincoat, completely submerged into the darkness.

He fumbled a few steps forward and continued to shout: "I know you are here! You must be here! Come out! Don't you want to see me? I'm coming! Come out!"

Still no response.

"I said, come to me if you have something to do, don't respond! What do you want! Come out and see me!"

In the old abandoned warehouse, there was silence.

He tripped over something, staggered and fell to his knees with a "boom", and got up again with difficulty, ignoring the pain, but continued to shout: "I'm sorry... I was wrong! I know Wrong! It was I who betrayed you, it was my fault! I am willing to atone for my sins, and I can do whatever you want, just don’t move... Please, please let the application pass!"

Except for the heavy rain outside, the surroundings were still silent, as if the world had been compressed into a ball, and he was the only one left in this crystal clear ball.Isolated from the world, lonely forever.

The abandoned wooden boxes in the warehouse were piled up to a height of more than two meters, isolating one independent area after another. He used his hands and feet in the dark, whispering again and again, apologizing and repenting, but no matter how many times he said it, he couldn't help it. No one responded to his bottomless regret and despair.

However, when he turned another corner, the deep ocean in his pupils reflected the brilliance of the morning sun.

I saw a small open space in the center of the warehouse. There was a low table with a few candles lit. It was dim and faint. I was used to the bright lights of modern cities, so it was hard to notice. On the table, there was a handful of candles. A knife, a glass, and a flat panel on a stand. On the pitch-black screen, two large white characters suddenly popped up - "Kneel down".

He obediently knelt down in front of the low table, straightened: "You can see me." There was no answer on the screen.

"Let me see you, I want to see you."

He seemed to hear someone laughing in the darkness.Then, the person on the other side of the screen answered his words: "You don't deserve it."

"You're mad at me. I know you'll never forgive me, but I can apologize to you..."

Two more words popped up on the screen - "Atonement".

He laughed, and suddenly felt dark in front of his eyes, extremely tired, even his bones were sore, and his eyelids were so heavy that it was difficult for him to open his eyes. He had to work hard to insist on saying: "Okay. If you want I atone, so I will. Give me a chance, I can do anything."

"For whom".

"For you. You're mad at me, I just want to... let us be the same as before, you're the irreplaceable one, and I don't want you to be mad at me again."

"fraud!"

The two words were followed by a long series of exclamation points, and he could almost feel the unstoppable anger of the person behind the screen, but he saw that the other party immediately sent back a sentence of "liar children are not good", without any punctuation marks, It made people feel his quick calmness, as if it was heralding the coming of a storm.

There was a thunder outside the warehouse, almost purple lightning surrounded by dazzling white light, which made him tremble for a while, and then he quickly recovered, and continued to persuade: "I didn't lie to you. When we were young, we secretly ate together. , climbed to the roof together, made a wish on the shooting star together, we said that we will never be separated for the rest of our lives, do you remember?"

There was a brief silence on the other side of the screen, and then said: "You betrayed me".

He was about to say something, when Ying Cheng's photo suddenly popped up on the screen that had been completely black all along, it was the one that was placed at the door of Ying Cheng's house at that time!

On the photo, in bright red letters, it was written on the most prominent part of his face - "for him".

He suddenly tensed up, grabbed the tablet, almost got burned by those candles, and then put the tablet back belatedly, shaking his head: "No, it has nothing to do with Ying Cheng, the wrong person is me, you want Revenge, if you want to vent your anger, you should also come to me, please... Let Ying Cheng go... You asked me to go, didn't you? You asked me to go to his side, why..."

"No," said the screen, "I gave you a choice, and you chose him."

- "You didn't choose me".

"You betrayed me".

"This is punishment."

Many thoughts in his heart were entangled, blocking his throat and making him unable to speak, while the heaviness in his body became heavier and heavier, his mind became dizzy, and the world in front of him began to spin upside down—he knew clearly that he Must be sick.

Roaming makes his body as tough as a wild dog, and the fine clothes and food after being adopted by Yingcheng make him incomparably tougher, but it's not too late, but at this time...

He coughed before he could speak: "Then you punish me, I can do whatever you want... let Ying Cheng go..."

"Can".

He was taken aback.In the next second, another line of words jumped out on the screen——

"Let's play a game."

"Okay. As long as you can let go of the application, I will play any game with you."

"Undress".

He didn't care about the other party's intentions at all, he didn't even care about his own dignity or honor, he just knelt in front of the screen and obediently took off his shirt, revealing those old scars.

The tablet computer seemed to be offline for a while, and then the word "retribution" was typed out.

"Yes. My retribution. I deserve it. What's next?"

"Put a knife between the fourth and fifth ribs."

He wasn't surprised, nor backed away, just as if confirming the content, he asked flatly: "There is the heart, do you want me to die?"

"No".

"Three centimeters".

He reached for the knife, only to see a red line drawn on the blade, about three centimeters off, and then smiled.Three centimeters... just a tiny bit away from stabbing the heart.really cruel...

"Are you going to let Ying Cheng go as long as I stab myself once?"

"yes".

"Next, I want your blood."

He glanced at the cup on the table again, and instantly understood the purpose of the cup, nodded and said yes: "You always do what you say, and this time it will be the same, right?"

"hurry up".

"Okay. As you wish, I will give you whatever you want."

He raised his head and looked at the ceiling illuminated by the dim candlelight. As the candle shadow swayed, his shadow swayed left and right. He raised the knife, and the sharp blade touched the left half of his chest. It was even colder to the bone, making his hands tremble. , can't help but think of many past times, this month, he walked out of a long life in a trance, he once owned a home, and also had an application, no matter the final outcome, this "zeng" alone is life and death. It's all worth it.

He has committed numerous crimes and carried many wronged souls. Every step he takes is on the cornerstone of lies. The world is not worth it, and he is not worth it, but he should
