Case File Compendium

Slowly, he recalled some things related to Li Yun——

When Duan Wen was in the police academy, because he pretended to be too upright, he offended many people anyway. Among his roommates, the only one who got closer to him was Li Yun, who was also not very popular.

It's just that Duan Wen is because he looks too upright, and he feels the same about living a clean world.

And Li Yun is because she looks too evil and arrogant, so she gets more and more jealous.

Both of them were somewhat out of tune with the group, so they made do with each other and became meal buddies when they were in college, and they often went to Junk Street to have dinner together.

The street is chaotic, and fire protection has not been in place.On the day before Labor Day in freshman year, Duan Wen and Li Yun went to a barbecue restaurant for supper after class. Not long after they sat down, there was an accident there. exploded.

Li Yun and him were sitting outside at a small open-air table. When the explosion happened, Li Yun was standing up to take two bottles of soda from the refrigerator next to him.The violent explosion spread to all the surrounding shops, and the air wave rushed to their side, overturning the huge neon sign outside the shop, and Duan Wen happened to be standing under the sign.

Li Yun looked at a lazy and selfish person, and suddenly rushed over and grabbed Duan Wen to protect him. As a result, the neon sign crashed, and the iron frame hit him hard on the back. A sharp horn pierced Li Yun's leg.

At that position, if Li Yun hadn't pushed him away and the sharp corner of the iron frame fell down, it would have hit the back of Duan Wen's head.

Duan Wen, who was still Chen Lisheng at the time, was stunned. Seeing Li Yun laying on his body pale in pain, with blood continuously gushing out, he said, "You...why are you...?"

"Nonsense... Isn't this fucking instinct?"

He remembered what Li Yun said to him at that time.

instinct?

But his instinct is to avoid it by himself, and he won't care about anyone's life or death.Duan Wen knew that if he stood in that position, he would never protect Li Yun, he would definitely leave Li Yun behind and hide by himself.

For the so-called sense of justice, it is enough to pretend that it is not necessary to really use one's own life to protect another person, that would be too stupid.

"It hurts..." Li Yun gasped softly on him, and said angrily before passing out, "Chen Lisheng, tell me...will I just be limping like this...?"

Of course he didn't cripple in the end, luckily he didn't hurt his vitals, but after a hundred days of injury, Li Yun had to put on a plaster cast for a long time. The medicine was also helped by Duan Wen himself.

I always pretend to feel sorry for my roommate.

Duan Wen thought so.

He also thought at that time, why is it that Li Yun, who usually looks ruthless and arrogant, is so afraid of pain, and when changing the medicine is a bit heavier, she will frown and lean on the bed and hum softly, the voice is like a cat. Yes, very soft.

"Chen Lisheng...you fucking take it easy, it hurts."

"……Feel sorry."

Why does he have such a soft and lazy voice, yet he can curse so fiercely?

Duan Wen thought again, but still had no answer.

But after this incident, they gradually got closer and closer.Although the two of them have a little bland personality, and it is just an ordinary relationship in the eyes of outsiders, but to them, it is indeed a rare thing.

They studied together, practiced together, and later joined a police station to work together, and even worked with the same teacher...

They are always together.

Until the teacher Xie Ping died.

Until, finally, Duan Wen could no longer continue to live under the identity of Chen Lisheng, and left in feigned death.

After both Chen Lisheng and Xie Ping died, the young police officer Li Yun still never gave up on finding the truth. With such a little fire in my heart, I will go to the end of a dark road.In the end, in the box of a nightclub, he intercepted the man behind the scenes who had just met with Huang Zhilong alone.

At that time, Duan Wen was no longer Chen Lisheng.

He had already done facial plastic surgery, and he couldn't see the shadow of Chen Lisheng in the past at all. Only some details on the biometric verification had not been completed, such as fingerprints.

On that summer night, Li Yun succeeded in ambushing him. He captured Duan Wen and locked him in the box with his chest heaving, staring closely at Duan Wen's face.

Duan Wen had a very subtle feeling at the time. He felt that looking at Li Yun's expression, it seemed that the policeman had a vague suspicion in his heart that he didn't want to face.

At that time, Li Yun had a fingerprint library verification machine, which could compare the extracted fingerprint models with all the police stations in the public security database.Li Yun stared into his eyes, and the first thing she did was to forcibly press his thumb on the verification machine.

And at the same time that the verification machine jumped out the green light indicating that the search was successful, Duan Wen's subordinates also rushed over. After a fierce fight, Li Yun was finally overwhelmed with both fists and four hands, and was pressed to the ground by those people, bleeding from the head .

Duan Wen smashed the fingerprint comparison machine, raised his hand to wipe off the blood dripping from the corner of his lips during the fight, lowered his dark eyes, and stared at the policeman who fell at his feet.

Li Yun at that moment seemed very numb.

That is the numbness that normal people must show when facing the betrayal of an intimate relationship.

Duan Wen is very familiar with this expression, he has seen it countless times on his mother's face since he was a child...

The light and shadow in the box cut Li Yun's face into two halves.Half is bright, half is dark.

Duan Wen saw that half of his face in the light lifted up, and looked towards himself from the intertwined legs and feet of those subordinates.

Then he heard Li Yun calling him:

"Chen Lisheng."

The voice is naturally soft, like a wounded milk cat.

-

That was the last time he heard Li Yun call his name like that.

"I took him away later." After Duan Wen narrated these things, he continued, "I brought him back to this island and locked him in a room."

"I didn't want his life, so I asked him if he would like to be recruited. After all, he is a very capable person, and Mandela can open the door to any kind of talent. In fact, he has a very low moral bottom line in the police. The low one, do you understand? He can break the rules in order to achieve the purpose of handling the case, he can be immoral, and even dare to hang out with prostitutes. On the one hand. But after I captured him, I used all the methods I could think of to him - I promised him money, power, fame and sex in the world, and offered him the benefits that those people are chasing after, but he was unmoved I have tried threats, torture, torture, and even injected him with obedient water, but the policeman is still not willing to bow to me."

Duan Wen looked at Xie Qingcheng indifferently: "He never even called me Chen Lisheng so softly again."

"I asked him why he was so persistent. Justice in this world is not absolute. There is no great change that is not accompanied by sacrifice and bloodshed. What's more, he didn't always walk between black and white. He even told me about many gangsters when he was studying. Do you have any ideas? How can he be so stubborn."

"Then what did he say?"

"He said..." Duan Wen was quiet, and sneered, "What he said was what your father told him—heroes are not heroes all the time, but right and wrong, great good and great evil, sometimes just in a single thought. The key is whether to keep it or not. He said that he already has no bottom line. He is a person who guards the dead line. This thought is his final boundary. After crossing this line, he is no longer a policeman. So he doesn't do it."

"I locked him up for more than 40 days... He didn't eat or drink for more than 40 days, and he lived on infusion of nutrient solution, and soon lost his shape... At this time, Zoya told me that this person must stay. I can't stand it. Why don't you hand him over to her and make a violent killing? With such a complete body, still alive, you can definitely make a perfect copy. I didn't agree to her right away, I was still hesitating , I haven’t completely given up on Zhao’an, what I don’t know is that he overheard my conversation with Zoya outside the door.”

At this point the conversation stopped again.

After a while, Duan Wen said, "He chose death."

"..." Even though he already knew this was the result, Xie Qingcheng's heart sank when he heard this.

"I went to see him that night as usual. I pushed into the room... I don't know where he got the sharp object. When I saw him, there was nothing left for him to save. I thought he was afraid of pain In the past, when he changed the medicine on his thigh in the dormitory, he would feel pain. I would not have any serious problems if I kept it like this. But that day he cut his own neck with his own hands, and the blood flowed all over the ground..."

Duan Wen didn't describe it in detail.

He picked up the last cigarette that he was supposed to present to Xie Qing, and lit it, a faint flame lit up in the prison cell in the tower.

Duan Wen said: "He... is still too naive, thinking that he can be saved from harm after death, but he doesn't know that as long as there is such a complete and undamaged brain of his, we can still use his corpse for experiments. "

"When he was dying, he only begged me for one thing - let me not do anything to Master's son. He said he knew it would be useless to ask me too much, just this, and asked me if I could do it."

"I looked into his dying eyes with such a strong light, and I thought maybe I got something wrong. Maybe that all-encompassing technology is not the most powerful thing, the concept of immortality has convinced all our collaborators , but Li Yun was unmoved. There must be something in his heart that allowed him to defeat the technological power that my grandmother once described to me as the pinnacle of strength. I really wanted to know, so I asked him why."

"He told me that if I can agree to his request and always remember this promise, maybe one day I will be able to experience that kind of power." Duan Wen said, "So after you were rescued by Qin Ciyan, even though I I wanted to cut off future troubles, but because of Li Yun's dying request, I never took the initiative to take your life, and I will not kill you unless I have to—you have always caused such a big threat to us, I still stay You are in this world. Twenty years later, I still remember that oath."

Xie Qingcheng was silent for a while after listening to his narration, and asked: "So now do you think you have realized what is the strength that makes him unyielding?"

After a while, he replied: "It's love."

"Do you know what love is?"

"I think I know." Duan Wen said, "at least better than many people on the island."

"You don't know." Xie Qingcheng said, "All your knowledge is superficial, and you have never experienced what true love is. You don't have to compare with the people on the island, in a class that failed all the exams Here, even if you get 59 points, it doesn’t mean you have passed. Duan Wen, you didn’t look back, which means you still don’t know anything about what he told you back then.”

"..." Duan Wen took a puff of cigarette forcefully, and said, "Actually, it's not necessarily me who is ignorant, maybe it's you, Xie Qingcheng."

"Li Yun and I used to be very good companions, but he was too constrained by the justice of this world, so he stood opposite me. After so many years of trying, I analyzed his brain thinking, and finally succeeded in making an identical I kept all of his thoughts, except for his beliefs, and covered his beliefs with mine. So he became my closest partner again."

Duan Wendao: "Facts have proved that he can be less persistent, and he doesn't have to die if he changes his mind. Sometimes people are harmed by their own inherent ideas-and you are the same."

Xie Qingcheng raised his eyes: "...What do you mean?"

Duan Wen said: "Do you still remember that night, when I invited you to talk, I repeatedly invited you to drink a cup of tea? But because you are going to work for the dream breaker the next day, you are afraid that the tea may be poisonous. , so you insisted on refusing."

"..."

"The tea is actually an antidote." Duan Wen said, "The incense on my table is the latest generation of Tinghua Water—or Tinghua Incense."

"!!"

"After being inhaled at close range, the effect of the medicine can reach 24 hours. During these 24 hours, as long as the person holding the controller in his hand gives you an order, you will not be able to resist. However, this incense also has its flaws, the effect is too great , the human body will be immune after only one use.”

Duan Wen paused, then continued: "Actually, if you were not guilty at the time and drank the tea, Li Yun would not be able to control you. But you refused my tea, and He Yu had the same situation when he was with the grandmother. , he also refused the tea from the grandma. This is the result of you being harmed by stereotypes."

"..."

"Li Yun was willing to block falling steel plates and explosions for me, but in the end he ended up with that ending because of his inherent ideas. I don't want to see the same thing happen to you and He Yu again."

"You really don't have to be as stubborn as Li Yun, Xie Qingcheng. Justice is never absolute."

Xie Qingcheng remained silent for a moment, then said: "Do you know that if it wasn't for his justice, he wouldn't have protected you when the steel plate fell down. You wouldn't have stood in front of me and said these words. "

"I know." Duan Wen said, "That should be the thing he regrets the most. Go back in time, if the same explosion happened and the steel plate fell down, he would definitely not help me again."

He lowered his eyelashes, and said lightly, "He hated me so much in the end."

Just after he finished saying this, a voice suddenly came from the headset he had been wearing all the time. It was Duan Cuizhen who was sick and suffering and needed him to go over.

Duan Wen's brows were slightly frowned. Duan Cuizhen's condition was already very bad. This was something he was very worried about in recent days. Using Vivienne's body to perform a third brain transplant on her, but Vivienne's body is really not a good choice...

His face was slightly gloomy, and he was going to check on the situation of the grandma immediately.

Li Yun's perfect replica has just been made... He waited for so long, and he didn't want any accidents to happen at this time.

Therefore, the island's energy supply must never be stopped, and he must do his best to protect Duan Cuizhen's safety.

"Xie Qingcheng, you are different from Li Yun, you still have other options. Think about it carefully, you don't have to vote secretly, after the Dream Breaker is defeated, I will come to ask you again to see if you are willing to join us camp."

At this point, what he wanted to say was almost finished, Duan Wen got up, called Lu Yuzhu's clone in, and told her to be more careful about Xie Qingcheng.

But before he left, he suddenly thought of something, so he stopped: "That's right."

He took something out of the windbreaker pocket, and gently placed it on the desk next to Xie Qingcheng.

that……

It was a small Charmander in good condition!

Xie Qingcheng suddenly looked up at Duan Wen.

Duan Wen said: "This is the last thing He Yu wants to give you. He went to the laboratory the day before your plan was implemented, and used special materials from the island to restore it to its original state. I think he has been looking for a chance for you."

He looked at the little dragon that could barely see any broken marks, and put his hand back into the pocket of the windbreaker.

"Xie Qingcheng, you once said to He Yu that if he chooses darkness, you will definitely stand against him... I don't know if you have changed your mind after these three years, and you are willing to stand up to him that side of the

"Wait a minute..." Xie Qingcheng's heart was still aching because of the lost fire dragon, but he suddenly realized something in the next second, his face gradually paled, and it was difficult to breathe. He raised his red eyes and looked at Duan smell--

"How do you know that I said this to him?!"

"It's like Anthony knows the past of you two." Duan Wen said, "Don't you know? During the treatment of He Yu, Anthony hypnotized him over and over again, so he told a lot about your past." private matter."

"!!"

"It's a pity that you really thought that he hated you too much, so you voluntarily told Anthony."

"..."

"He Yu has never done this before." Duan Wen said, "Even the hypnosis was very difficult for Anthony. When He Yu recovered a little bit of self-consciousness, Anthony couldn't get anything out of his mouth. Yes. Even when he was most disappointed with you and hated you the most, he never thought of betraying you. Therefore, I think highly of him and respect him."

Duan Wen's words were like a sharp weapon for soul-stirring, Xie Qingcheng felt his limbs were stiff and his bones were frozen.

He thought of He Yu's seemingly extremely cold and indifferent face when he reunited with He Yu.

Beneath that face was actually the tenderness of yesterday lingering on his dying lips, even if he died once, that tenderness was still hidden deep in his body, like a brand mark.

But I couldn't see it at that time.

"I hope you can take pity on him once." Duan Wenshui looked at the dignified man in the police uniform who was in a distressed situation. For some reason, his eyes gradually became a little dazed, and finally he said softly, "Put your hands down." Take a stand, stand by his side."

"If you are missing among those righteous people, others will naturally make up for it. But if some people lose you, there is nothing to fill the gap in their hearts."

As Duan Wen said, he finally bent his knuckles and pushed the little Charmander to the edge of the table, closer to Xie Qingcheng.His voice was calm, even gentle.

"Think about it, I'll give you time. I hope you don't let us down in the end, Skylark."
