Dangerous Personality

"This doesn't seem to be the way to school..."

This is a small school bus that is driving at high speed. There are stick figures on the body with the school's label and a piece of sunshine and green grass stickers. It looks very warm, but the scene inside the car has nothing to do with the word "warm" .

There was chaos in the car.

"Uncle, who are you? Where are you taking us?"

"Wow-"

Someone burst into tears.

Just 10 minutes ago, the elementary school bus just stopped at the station. The students lined up in advance and got on the bus one by one. The last one walking was a very short little boy carrying a small yellow schoolbag. The little boy was struggling to get on one leg. , suddenly the whole person volleyed in the air for a moment, and was picked up by the collar from behind.

The little boy kicked his legs in the air, and he couldn't turn his head. At first, he thought it was some prank: "Put me down—quickly put me down!"

"It's so noisy," the voice behind him whispered like a demon, "Be quiet, or I will strangle you."

Then the man raised his chin slightly, took out a pocket knife from his sleeve, put the tip of the knife on the child's neck, and said to the school bus driver in front, "Get off your seat."

It was already late when Ji Mingrui arrived at the station.

He didn't count the school bus at all. He thought that the chances of arresting him near the community would be greatly increased, but he didn't expect that he ran all the way out of the community, just in time to see the school bus door closing.

Through the window glass, he saw a man in a black hat sitting in the driver's seat.

The man's hair is a bit long, and from the side, he can only vaguely see that his cheeks are extremely thin, with an unhealthy feeling of thinness.

At the same time that "he wants to hijack the school bus and escape" flashed in Ji Mingrui's mind, the screen of his mobile phone lit up, and like a supernatural event, Chi Qing, the deceased whose body had been sent to the crematorium for cremation, sent him a message.

There are only four words on the message.

Chi Qing: Be careful with the school bus.

……

It's too late.

Even if he knew that a real support team would arrive within 5 minutes and several police cars would catch up, it was useless because the carload of children were all hostages. No matter what demands "he" made, they had nothing to do with him.

Because these children will lose their lives at any time because of their words and actions.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, all the police cars that came to support stopped at the gate of Tianxin Community. The lights of the police cars kept flashing, but none of the police cars dared to leave the gate of the community.

"He just called 110," Su Xiaolan said, "and put forward two conditions. First, you are not allowed to chase, and second, you are not allowed to follow. Just counted, there were 17 students in the car, and one elementary school student woke up late because of a cold." I missed the car, otherwise there should be 18 people."

the other side.

Chi Qing tried hard to find that voice amidst the wailing.

[My child is in that car! 】

【my child--】

[Why don't you go after him? !What are you doing in a daze, why don't you chase after him? ! ! 】

【…】

There are too many voices from the parents, Chi Qing distinguishes them very carefully, and barely hears a sentence from these miscellaneous voices: 【...he is not my friend. 】

He heard this sentence because the word "friend" was so crucial in this case, so when the word "friend" came out, he caught it right away.

Chi Qing thought in her heart.

He was thinking, where is he going?

Can you hear his next plan.

Chi Qing endured the constant crying from all directions, and continued to chase "his" voice.

He heard a sentence: [I have to kill a child...]

Kill a child?

But at the next moment-

The distorted sounds resounding in Chi Qing's ears subsided suddenly like the tide suddenly receding, and then those weird distorted sounds were completely pulled away from his ears, and the sounds that belonged to the real world returned.

"Didi—" the car beeped.

"Why are there so many police cars parked here?" A passerby asked.

There is also the sound of wind, footsteps, and knocking noises.

The last thing that rang in his ears was Jie Lin's voice: "What's wrong?"

"I can't hear you anymore," Chi Qing said, looking at the crowded road, "...the wine has expired."

The General Administration is already too busy.

"The list of all the tenants in Tianxin Community, count it immediately!" The director put his hands on the table in the conference room, "We must find out where he lives."

"One minute later, one more child may die. No one can predict what kind of madness he will have next-he is completely irritated now, and it is not surprising to do anything. We are now The only task is to find him as soon as possible."

Compared with the chief who was tense and full of strategic arrangements on the stage, the other people in the conference room obviously couldn't be as focused as him.

Because in the conference room, apart from a few groups of criminal police who had been following up on the church case, there were also two people who shouldn't be here.

No, they're not just supposed to be here.

It can be said that these two should not continue to appear in this world.

At the end of the conference table, two men in black clothes sat quietly in the corner. They were not wearing police uniforms. It will be spring soon, and the weather will still be slightly cool. The man with white skin is almost sickly. Wearing a large sweater, with his hands tucked in the sleeves, he carefully opened the documents in front of him through the sweater fabric.

The man's too deep pupils looked at the highest-level file without blinking.

A criminal policeman said in a daze, "I... just attended his funeral a few days ago."

"Who isn't?" another policeman said, "I bought the white chrysanthemums specially and put them on the coffin lid with my own hands. I even shed a few tears that day."

"........."

Can a dead person be resurrected?

What is this, scammer?

Don't blame these detectives, anyone who just attended someone's funeral, from picking up the body to issuing the death notice, to watching the person's burial, this series of operations told them "Chi Qing is dead", at this moment the deity But it appeared in front of them without warning.

"It's actually like this. Assistant Chi has a twin brother who lives outside," another man in the corner was also flipping through the information, and his movements seemed to be much more casual. He put one hand on the armrest of the seat and only used one hand Turning the page, turning slightly while speaking, smiling and looking at the criminal policemen who were whispering just now, "The two look exactly alike, and what you see now is his younger brother, Chi Lan."

Chi Qing's hand that turned the page stopped, and he rolled his eyes in his heart, thinking that someone would believe such a stupid thing.

However, in the next second, the person who secretly talked about him just now exclaimed:

"younger brother?"

"It really looks exactly the same."

Chi Qing: "..."

Xie Lin continued to talk nonsense: "Like it, I didn't tell you guys before."

The detective nodded, then looked at Xie Lin: "But you..." What's going on with you? !

Didn't he kill someone?

Are you on the run?

Are they sitting in a meeting with a wanted man now?

Facing this sharp question, Xie Lin pondered for two seconds before replying, "If I said that Xie Lin is my brother, would you still believe it?"

"........."

There is no time to explain too much, and everyone quickly received their respective tasks to carefully check the rental housing in Tianxin Community.

"But it's very strange," a criminal policeman quickly reported, "There are a total of [-] houses for rent in Tianxin Community, but there are no qualified tenants."

Xie Lin: "His personality will not live in one place for a long time. It is not very likely that he is the original resident of the community. Have you checked all the people who rent with you? Is it possible to use a false identity to secretly rent with others? The number of tenants is strictly limited, and they are afraid that their house will become a group rental house, but for tenants, they are more willing to take risks and find some co-renters in private behind the landlord's back."

"No," the criminal policeman replied firmly, "everything has been checked, and there are not even eligible co-tenants."

This doesn't make sense.

Chi Qing frowned.

"Let's go through the list of the original residents of the community again. This is easy. The information has been registered with the neighborhood committee. Don't just sit around in the meeting room, you two, help go through the personnel information."

There was only one list, and Xie Lin was in charge of flipping through it, while his other hand habitually reached under the table to touch Chi Qing's hand.

He deftly picked apart the opponent's sweater cuff with his fingertips, and then caught his knuckles.

Chi Qing shrank her fingers and reminded: "I can't hear it anymore."

Xie Lin: "I know, it doesn't matter whether I can hear you or not, I just want to hold you."

The list of personnel in Tianxin Community is thick and stacked.

13 buildings.

Room 101, Feng Deyi (father, 45 years old), Feng Aiguo (son, 21 years old).

Room 102, Tao Zheng (husband, 33 years old), Xu Jinghe (wife, 26 years old).

……

One by one ordinary ID photos were turned over.

Every household is a family.

The above simply records their occupation, family resident population, and income.

Xie Lin turned over and pressed Chi Qing's hand.

Chi Qing suddenly remembered the sentence he heard before the alcohol expired, but he couldn't tell anyone in the police station. Now only him, Xie Lin and another criminal policeman who stayed to help were left in the conference room , he whispered: "I heard a sentence at that time."

Xie Lin swipe at his palm to show that he is listening: "What are you talking about?"

Chi Qing said calmly, "I have to kill a child."

"Have to kill a child?" Xie Lin repeated.

"Ah."

Xie Lin raised his head and asked the criminal police next to him: "How many children are there in the car?"

The criminal policeman was also looking through the information of the residents in Tianxin Community, stopped the action of looking through, and replied: "17."

"17..."

Kill one and there are 16 left.

Why do you have to kill one?

What is the most obvious difference between 17 and 16?

Xie Lin and Chi Qing were thinking in their minds at the same time.

Then two people thought at the same time that the most obvious difference between these two adjacent numbers is obviously: from singular to plural.

Xie Lin stopped turning the pages, picked up a pen and wrote down the numbers 16 and 17 on the white paper beside him, then turned his head and asked Chi Qing: "...do you think it's a bit familiar?" Xie Lin paused He also said, "Besides, on the 13th floor, he was the one who told me on the phone that my brother's death ten years ago was not an accident. He knew the case very well. Although the case once caused a sensation in the city, the files were always encrypted. , it is impossible for him to know the internal details."

More than familiar.

All are children, and the number must be plural.

Chi Qing almost immediately thought of that scream: "Ah!"

Followed by the words heard ten years ago:

——"It's really troublesome, one person is missing."

Although it has been a full ten years, Chi Qing recalled these two sentences, as if he was in an ice cellar, but what made him feel even colder at this moment was that what "that person" said in his heart unexpectedly overlapped with the words ten years ago .

It's as if... the case from ten years ago, after a reincarnation that no one noticed, swept back again.

The case of ten years ago seems to be reproduced today.

Just as Xie Lin and Chi Qing were making guesses, the phone in Xie Lin's pocket suddenly vibrated a few times.

The phone vibrates very faintly.

In order to prevent missing that person's news when he went out, he also hung the social account used to contact "him" on his mobile phone

number.

Xie Lin swipe open the phone, there are several unread messages on it.

z: I'm very angry.

Z: I thought we would be friends.

After a while, the last message came from the other side.

Z: Let me play a game with them, a game you are very familiar with.
