A charming and dangerous character

The police car that made the noise was actually just a vehicle on routine patrol.

Now it is almost late at night and the shift time is coming to an end. The two police officers who were sitting in the car were very sleepy - one was dozing off in the co-pilot, and the other was worried that he was driving tired, so he parked the car in a certain place. The side of a deserted street.

The police officer sitting in the driver's seat yawned tiredly. He just took out his mobile phone to check whether it was time for the shift. He just rubbed his eyes to refresh himself, when he heard a loud glass shattering sound.

There was a lot of commotion in the night, and the source of the sound seemed to be the neighborhood not far in front.

The other who just fell asleep was also awakened quickly. The two looked at each other, and immediately ruled out the possibility that they had auditory hallucinations from the blank eyes of the other party who was also awakened—then the police officer driving the vehicle immediately let go. Turn on the handbrake, step on the gas pedal with your right foot, and soon start the stalled car again.

Then, the other picked up the radio on the center console and made a routine report to nearby radio stations:

"Call center, call center... The alarm number 071546 found something abnormal in the community ahead. It should be that the glass of the residents on a certain floor of the residential building suddenly burst. It is initially suspected that there is an accident on the scene. We are going to go and have a look..."

However, it was a coincidence that Song Zhengrong, who was also on his way back to his residence at this time, happened to drive past the area covered by the radio.

Just when he was about to turn around at the crossroads, he suddenly heard the rustling of the radio in his hand, and then he heard the specific location of the suspected fighting area from the man:

"...The neighborhood where the accident happened is 50 meters in front of the Xiacheng Park. The name is Anle Community."

Counting it, it has been many years since Song Zhengrong moved to City S. Although he is not as familiar with the terrain as a native like Lin Ze, he also happens to know that the address of this community is in the same place as the one who saw the "suspect" Qiu Chuyi before. Areas covered by 24-hour pharmacies.

Song Zhengrong glanced at the dark night outside the car window, as if he was thinking seriously in his mind.

After the green light at the intersection ahead turned on, the black Volvo made a temporary U-turn, and then, like a sharp sword, drove towards the Anle community mentioned in the radio without hesitation.

The empty and uninhabited streets were unimpeded. When Song Zhengrong drove quickly to the gate of Anle Community, the two police officers who patrolled daily would also arrive at the gate.

The two saw a black Volvo that was obviously speeding and parked in front of their police car like a provocation. One of them said "Hey", wondering if the owner of the car was tired of working and dared to stand in front of the police speeding.

So he strode over, knocked hard on the window, and motioned for the man to shake down the glass: "Sir, please show your driver's license, you were suspected of speeding inside the urban road just now..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the police officer's ID card handed out from inside, and the owner of the ID card seemed familiar—star eyebrows and sharp eyes, and there was an upright temperament in his eyes—while the other person looked at it. The driver who got into the car yelled directly.

"You are..." He seemed to be unable to believe his eyes: "Song Zhengrong, Deputy Director Song?"

His tone was full of disbelief, as if he couldn't believe his eyes or his luck, that he could meet the idol of the young policeman of S City here in the middle of the night.

This time Song Zhengrong nodded with a sullen face, which was a response.

Then he put away his documents and opened the car door, and quickly stepped out of the cab with his slender legs.Not wanting to deal with the flattery that the two were about to blurt out, Song Zhengrong got to the point neatly, and asked the two first, "You guys reported that something unusual happened here just now?"

Before the two had time to express their excitement about meeting their idol, they nodded subconsciously when they heard the question: "Yes! This is here. Just now we were patrolling nearby and heard the sound of glass breaking in one of the residential buildings, but we didn't hear anything Arguing, it doesn't feel like an ordinary family conflict, so I reported it and planned to come and have a look, I didn't expect...I didn't expect to meet you here..."

Ignoring the second half of the two sentences, Song Zhengrong, with his excellent night vision, saw the house standing in the dark night without the entire balcony glass.

The curtains in the house were blown out of the unobstructed window by the wind, swaying violently in the moonlight—but there was no quarrel or noise coming from the house, except for the sound of glass breaking just now, the whole neighborhood was eerily quiet at the moment.

These two people should have guessed well, the situation in front of them cannot be explained by simple family conflicts anyway.

"How long has it been since it happened?" Song Zhengrong asked immediately.

"It's only a few minutes. We are close, and we will come as soon as we hear it." One of them replied.

Song Zhengrong asked again: "Apart from the gate here, is there any other way out of this community?"

"There seems to be a small gate at the back of the Anle community. I don't usually use cars..." It was the policeman's answer, but he reacted quickly and guessed what Song Zhengrong meant, so he hurriedly said: "I'm here now. Go to the back door and block it!" After speaking, he quickly ran towards the back door.

Song Zhengrong stood in the night, took a deep look at the seemingly peaceful and quiet residential building, and then walked over with the rest of the people, with a not bad face but not a good face either.

Because the Anle Community is an early building in the old city, no elevators were installed during construction, and each residential building only has stairs for people to go up and down, and there is only one fire exit.

So when Qiu Chuyi discovered that the police car flashing red and blue lights not far away on the street did not drive past here, but drove to the main road outside, but finally stepped on the brakes and stopped at the gate of this community, he was very upset. It quickly became apparent that something was wrong.

Maybe it was because the sound of the broken glass was too loud, and it sounded abrupt at night, or there might be some other reason that he didn't know. In short, he deliberately hid behind the curtain and could see the police car coming out of it through the night. Two police officers, what's more, another black car stopped behind the two police officers.

It is no longer clear which side the visitor belongs to. The "uninvited guest" who took the initiative to visit just now was beyond Qiu Chuyi's expectation. No matter who is behind the current situation, he only knows himself Some action must be taken, not just sitting around like this.

So Qiu Chuyi carefully put down the curtains in his hands, tried his best to hide his figure in the night, and while making sure that the movements of his feet and hands did not make any noise, he hurried back to the house and hugged Qiu Chuchu, who had not been woken up by them on the bed, in his arms. I reached out and touched that immature face a few times, but the usually lively and cheerful little girl woke up leisurely.

Obviously Qiu Chuchu should have been drugged by the man in black, but now there is no time for him to wake up the poor little girl.

Qiu Chuyi hugged Qiu Chuchu in his arms and brought several necessities. After confirming again that the gun was firmly fastened to his waist, he came to the living room and prepared to leave before making other plans.

However, what he didn't know was that at the moment he just stepped out of the door, Song Zhengrong and the remaining policeman also happened to walk to the door of the unit of this residential building.

The old iron door made a lot of noise when it was pushed open. The creaking sound was very clear in the already silent night. Qiu Chuyi, who had just come out of the house, was still holding Qiu Chuchu in his arms. , and the turbid air he was about to exhale from his mouth was suddenly blocked in his lungs by this series of noises.

Although it is the middle and late November, the temperature in this small northern city at night is definitely not friendly. The cold wind comes in from the window that is missing a corner, and blows on Qiu Chuyi's tense expression face, Beads of sweat kept oozing from his forehead for a moment, and then slowly flowed down his cheeks.

The footsteps evenly going up the stairs became more and more clear in the dark and silent corridor, and sometimes it was so clear that it felt as if it was close to the ear.It's like those bad plots and old routines that appear repeatedly in horror movies. Every time when the protagonist thinks that he is about to escape from birth, the demons and ghosts who like to play with humans can always appear unexpectedly, bringing the protagonist and the world together. The audience outside the screen was scared out of their wits.

Hugging Qiu Chuchu, who was still in a coma, tightly in her arms, even in such a tense and dangerous situation, the little girl never woke up. This kind of worsening situation is inevitably more worrying.

He looked at the little girl who was sleeping soundly without being disturbed by the outside world, and felt the girl's weak but regular breathing. The gentle frequency was like a small hand brushing against Qiu Chuyi's chest like a feather, which made him Some confused mind instantly calmed down.

Although he knew in his heart that he was not Chu Chu's biological father in the true sense of the word, but this child was brought up by him personally, and Qiu Chuchu trusted and relied on him 100% - therefore, the more difficult the time , the more he can't back down.Even if the innocence really collapses, before any harm is done to Chuchu, he will stand in front of this poor child without hesitation and bear everything for her.

Qiu Chuyi thought to himself: If his father were here at this time, he would support him in doing this, right?

So when he raised his eyes again, Qiu Chuyi stared at the stairs, as if he was thinking about where the two people's real "way of life" would be.

Because of the need to take care of the child, it would be most irrational to choose to go down and fight the policemen at this time—then should he adapt to the situation and flee to the higher level now, or should he go back to the house quietly and hide himself?

When Song Zhengrong and another policeman rushed to the residential building where the noise came from, they were about to reach the floor where the incident occurred when Song Zhengrong's heart skipped a beat for some reason.

So he immediately stopped at the same spot, and silently gestured to the man, indicating that the two of them stopped at the stairs on this floor first, but he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

The environment full of debris in the corridor made Song Zhengrong inevitably recall the environment he lived in when he was a child, and inexplicably gave him a complex feeling of familiarity and kindness—but the reason in his head told him, Everything has changed, and it is impossible for someone to stay in place so stupidly and stagnate.

So after taking another deep breath, the expression on Song Zhengrong's face suddenly became more determined, and he gestured for the man to go to the upper floor to guard in order to prevent anyone from escaping upwards, and then he planned to be alone Enter the room where the suspicious "thing" happened.

I saw him with a serious face, but his footsteps came to the anti-theft door on the left very gently. Just as he stretched out his hand to knock on the door first, the uncomfortable feeling in his heart became more and more intense at this time—I don’t know why. Because I was worried that no one would come to answer after knocking on the door, or because this blue iron door was very similar to Qiu Chuyi's house in the past and was also a Panpan brand.

"Dangdang..."

The knock on the door was particularly abrupt at night. Song Zhengrong politely asked the room where there was probably no one there: "Excuse me, is anyone at home? I just heard that the glass in your house was broken. I don't know if anyone was injured." ?”

After the questioning, Song Zhengrong and the policeman on the upper floor held their breaths and concentrated. However, apart from the echo produced by the silence, the two of them could no longer hear the second voice in their ears.

It was really troublesome to encounter such a situation where no one answered. Song Zhengrong was about to knock on the door again to confirm, but he seemed to find something suddenly. He stretched out his hand and tentatively pulled the door out, and opened the iron door so easily. .

This anti-theft door seemed to have just been repaired. When Song Zhengrong opened the door, he didn't hear the strange creaking sound that the old furniture should have made. Perhaps it had been carefully coated with lubricating oil not long ago.

Although the probability of knowing that there are still people hiding in the house is extremely low, after quickly searching the whole house and finding nothing, Song Zhengrong was inevitably a little frustrated. On the balcony, the curtains hanging there are still being blown out of the window by the cold wind.

The moonlight seems to be getting darker.

The policeman who was waiting on the next floor was squatting on the steps of the corridor, and suddenly saw Song Zhengrong running out of the house in a hurry, with an even more anxious expression on his face, and he said anxiously to himself:

"Quick! Go upstairs and look for it! You shouldn't have walked too far!"

Song Zhengrong, who was Qiu Chuyi's child, guessed right.

When they entered the building, Qiu Chuyi didn't choose to go back to hide in the house, because in his opinion, no matter where the narrow room was hidden, once the police entered, it would be like "painting himself and Chuchu into a prison." ", almost in disguise.

So going up with the trend has become the best choice, as long as you can be outdoors, you will have more freedom of movement than indoors that are restricted by various conditions-but where to hide upwards has become a big problem.

Qiu Chuyi can't ask any residents in the building for help, firstly because they don't have any contact with each other, and also because in this situation, no matter which door he knocks on, the people inside will regard him as a bad person, and the next second Immediately reported to the police who were asking door to door.

Almost at the same time that Song Zhengrong and the policeman arrived on the floor where he was before, Qiu Chuyi carried Qiu Chuchu, who was still asleep, to the highest floor of the building, but the original iron gate connecting the roof was nowhere to be seen. He was completely locked up with an iron chain.

It is by no means safe to just stay here, even Qiu Chuyi is still passive, but after searching carefully in the corridor for two times, Qiu Chuyi still did not find any other way to the rooftop.

In addition to the three families on this floor, there is a window that can be opened at the end of the corridor. If Qiu Chuyi did not take Qiu Chuchu to escape with him, maybe he could take the risk and try to find the side of the building from the window. the water pipe, and then climbed up to the roof along it.But since Qiu Chuchu is still there, he can't hastily make such a potentially dangerous move.

However, time is like fireworks that have been ignited, passing quickly before anyone can react.After hearing the loud "Go upstairs!", Qiu Chuyi recognized Song Zhengrong's voice immediately!

Unexpectedly, he would appear here at this time!

While being extremely shocked and puzzled, Qiu Chuyi forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, and after he calmed down, he could even hear footsteps coming from the corridor that seemed to be approaching him like a murderous soul!

The sound of shoe soles rubbing against the steps became clearer and clearer, and Qiu Chuyi estimated in his mind that there were about two or three people going upstairs.

Moreover, one of the police officers closest to him seemed to have arrived at his next floor, and might reach the highest floor at any time—the situation was at a critical point, Qiu Chuyi looked at the little girl in his arms who was still immersed in a dream , Heart skipped a beat, and the next moment he stretched out his hand and slammed open the window.

The biting cold wind blowing in from the window was even more whistling in Qiu Chuyi's ears.He took off his coat neatly, spread the sleeping little girl's hands apart, and tied the clothes tightly to his chest. After confirming that the knot was tight and would not be taken off easily, Qiu Chuyi finally stood on the window frame above.

Looking up and looking down, the distance between the floor and the ground was about tens of meters, and the autumn wind and fallen leaves passed by the two of them whirling and whirling.

Unexpectedly, the policeman downstairs seemed to have a premonition, and suddenly quickened his pace, and the sound of "dong dong dong" made by the soles of his shoes on the concrete stairs became heavier and heavier.

At the same time that Qiu Chuyi hugged Qiu Chuchu tightly and stepped out of the window, the policeman who was closest to him also rushed to the highest floor!

Qiu Chuyi didn't even think about it this time, and got out without hesitation.

But because of the anxious situation, he didn't find a good foothold in advance. After Qiu Chuyi put his body completely out of the window, he realized that he was still a long way from the water pipe in his memory.

That is to say, now Qiu Chuyi can only move his body slowly towards the water pipe with his hands, and he has to free up a hand from time to time to ensure that Qiu Chuchu is still safe and sound in his arms-you must know that in this tens of meters In such a high-altitude environment, if he makes a half-step mistake, he may plunge the two of them into a situation where there is no end to redemption!

Every time Qiu Chuyi moves his body, he feels that he is fighting against the gravity of the earth.

If you look at it from the perspective of God, you will find that his two arms are already muscled, and the veins and arteries are like earthworms bursting wantonly on the surface of the arms.

Relying on her tenacious will and extraordinary physical strength, Qiu Chuyi traveled quite a distance in a few seconds, and the cold but bright enough moonlight shone on the world, and the halo reflected by the water pipe did not know who was lost eyes.

All of a sudden, it seems that as long as you reach out your hand, you can grasp the hope of life, and even the moon in the sky is not as far away as usual, as if it is within reach.

But this kind of situation is irresistibly reminiscent of the Icarus whose wings were finally tanned by the sun-how can human beings touch the high sun?

The fight just now caused Qiu Chuyi to lose most of his strength, so just when he was about to touch the water pipe and win life for the two of them immediately, his arm twitched irresistibly.

To make matters worse, Qiu Chuyi suddenly felt a lightness in his chest, looked down in horror and found that it was Qiu Chuchu who was sliding down from his arms little by little.

"neat……"

He was chanting the little girl's name in mid-air, gnashing his teeth like a beast, his voice was low and angry but full of powerlessness at the same time.

It's a pity that the little girl still didn't respond in any way-whether mentally or physically.

Qiu Chuyi stretched out a hand, trying to pull the girl back into his arms again, but he missed the best time to catch the sleeping little girl because of another muscle twitch.

He watched the little girl slip out of his arms, and this feeling was more like taking all his life force away.

And Qiu Chuchu was still unconscious at this moment, and she didn't know the tragic end of her falling to the ground tens of meters below.

However, she seemed to be having a good time in her sleep, her pink lips kept moving, and the corners of her mouth kept turning upwards, Qiu Chuchu unconsciously kept repeating two words around her mouth.

"Mom..." she murmured dreamily.

The poor little girl may not know that she will only be able to see her long-missed mother who has passed away for many days only subconsciously.
