I come from the abyss

"It's also called Cheng Bei? What a coincidence." Li Zan put back the plastic fork and wiped his hands with a damp paper towel: "Did you notice it when you touched them?"

Jiang Heng straightened his cuffs and said: "As far as I know, prostitutes who are popular in Hong Kong City are generally led by chicken heads, and they will develop a relationship between family and family, big and small. Nightclubs, hair salons, bathing centers and other places are backed by H gangs. Besides, there are some prostitutes who have no fixed place and are hooked up by chicken heads, and they also need to pay a small amount of protection money to the h gang in the area where they usually gather."

"In other words, it is impossible for the most well-informed H gang to not know about the fact that the St. Mary's Women's Church is supposed to house teenage girls but is actually a place to force women into prostitution. It is more likely that the H gang is also involved Among them. Even if you don’t directly intervene, you will ask for a share.”

Li Zan: "I remember you said that Huo Wenying's father once played 14K, and he was still at the level of a big boss with double bonuses in the hall. But, didn't he wash his hands long ago?"

Jiang Heng: "Doing real estate in Hong Kong City without any background?"

Li Zan: "The relationship is inextricably linked. It just so happened that Huo Wenying and Cheng Bei went to the orphanage to donate Kitty dolls, and they happened to be interested in the Qingshan Project. I didn't expect so much. After all, I am interested in the Qingshan Project. I went to explore the terrain. The welfare home’s donation of materials is not only a matter of convenience, but also for the people above to see, and the behavior is indeed reasonable, which is a pity.”

Jiang Heng added his unfinished words: "It's a pity that Huo Wenying and the people around him happen to be named Cheng, and they happen to be called Cheng Bei. Their appearance, temperament, and posture are too similar to a certain type of people who have been trained."

Li Zan: "I thought tonight would be Lou Ji's stage, but I didn't expect him to be the oriole just sitting and watching." I just don't know how many things he did to fuel the flames and what his purpose was.

Jiang Heng: "You know Lou Ji very well? I'm sure he will come tonight."

Weird.Li Zan glanced at Jiang Heng, and raised his left eyebrow: "I saw Zhao Yanli wandering downstairs in the hotel at noon, she was not in a hurry, but in the afternoon, she was in a hurry to sneak in, and she knew that Lou Ji had tipped off the news, so it wasn't that there was big news tonight , she will try her best to drill in?"

Jiang Heng was satisfied: "Is the support enough?"

Li Zan gave a thumbs up: "It's all this."

As soon as the voice fell, a sudden change occurred, the doors and windows were closed tightly, and the banquet hall became an urn, and all the guests inside became hostages in an instant. A dozen gangsters took off their disguises and stood in the center of the stage, aiming their dark guns at the place where the crowd gathered .

"We're going to demand a blood debt from someone."

"We need a reporter, a group of media, we need a voice."

The big hall echoed the broadcast request, and all the guests looked ashen, and obeyed the order to stand in line. Someone in the venue seemed to recognize some faces on the stage.

"The end of disobedience is to shut up forever, understand?"

The female guests covered their mouths tightly, with tears in their eyes, and the male guests squatted down with their heads in their hands. Some timid men were frightened and fainted.

The gun warning will only make people fearful. Only when they see blood or dead people will they be truly afraid, and then they will be obedient. The discipline in the hall is as strict as military discipline for a moment. , separated on the left and right.

Li Zan and Jiang Heng squatted in the crowd on the left with their heads in their arms, and turned their heads to look at the crowd on the right. Some people showed expressions of guilt and fear, while others were frightened and dazed. They didn't understand why they were divided into two groups, wondering if they would die Tonight, there are also people who are trembling and their heads are blank.

Yu Hongying, Huo Wenying and others were in the right circle, and even Zhao Xi was also in the right circle.

Zhao Xi wanted to cry, but when he found that the people around him were either rich or noble, he immediately guessed that the purpose of these gangsters was kidnapping.

Of course, only Zhao Xi was the most innocent. Yu Hongying's heart was beating fast and her kidneys were convulsed with panic. She could clearly hear the words 'to ask for a blood debt'.

If you are asking for money, you don't have to make such a big noise, but you have to be seen by the public, and you have to look for the media to show your true face clearly, making it clear that they don't want to get rid of the crime, making it clear that they are here to seek revenge.

People who regard death as home are the most terrifying. They will bite their enemies to death and will not let go. They are not afraid of dying together. Any threats or temptations will be ineffective.

Yu Hongying, who had done a lot of bad things, started to get scared, and quietly searched for a way to survive, but she didn't realize that Huo Wenying and Cheng Bei beside her were too calm.

At this time, the projection screen on the stage lights up, showing the floor plan of the restaurant.

The structure map is covered with dense red dots, and the red dots keep flashing, which indicates ominous.

In the middle is a woman in her thirties who wears a master of ceremonies gown. Her hair is meticulous, her temperament is dignified, and her appearance is bright. She is always admired by Chinese people for her generosity and beauty.

The woman said: "The signal on this floor has been cut off, but I know that many of you can restore the signal and connect to the outside world. It doesn't matter, since we are here, we already know the consequences."

"Damn people will not be let go. Innocent people, we will not kill by mistake. I think everyone knows who is innocent and who is guilty."

The crowd looked at each other, and after a while, someone silently cast their eyes to the right.

"Don't try to resist, because there are not only guns in front of you, but also dense bombs."

As soon as the woman finished speaking, the red dot behind her made a life-threatening beep sound as if responding, instantly pushing the tense atmosphere to its peak.

"Please cooperate with us for two hours."

Jiang Heng had long legs and squatted crookedly, making him very uncomfortable. He asked in Li Zan's ear, "The support you brought is starting to be dismantled now, can it be dismantled in two hours?"

Li Zan frowned: "Half an hour ago, I arranged for people to check whether the high explosives were installed outside. I didn't expect to miss so much."

Although the supporters are armed police leaders who have experienced many battles, they are not bomb disposal experts. It is estimated that they did not expect to install the entire hotel, and they are all installed in an extremely hidden location. It can be seen that the gangsters began to infiltrate the hotel a long time ago, just for today's The scene was successfully staged.

"A sniper has been arranged in the building opposite the hotel, we should call the police now, and more support can be mobilized soon, but we have to spread the news that there is a bomb in the hotel." Li Zan felt that it was difficult: "The problem is how to restore the blocked signal? "

It would be great if Wang Dangdang was here.

"We don't need to do it."

"Say."

"They want a voice channel."

Since they want to speak out, it shows what information they want to convey to the outside world. Whether it is revenge or the pursuit of the truth, it is an opportunity for them to convey information.

Li Zan and Jiang Heng looked at each other, seeing a tacit understanding from each other's eyes.

Jiang Heng stood up suddenly, and quickly aimed his gun at his face.

Jiang Heng raised his hands and said, "I'm numb."

He has a dark outline, gray-green eyes, and can easily be mistaken for a foreign friend who looks like an Asian. It is almost universally recognized that foreigners do not know how to squat in Asia, so they are not suspected. They only signal him to stand against the wall and warn others. play tricks.

Leaning against a pillar, Jiang Heng stood out from the crowd and was quite eye-catching. He walked through the crowd and looked at Huo Wenying and smiled. The latter was expressionless and thoughtful.

Zhao Yanli hid in the middle of the crowd without daring to breathe. After a moment of blankness, she slowly regained consciousness and resumed her thinking, but the sticky cold sweat on her palms and weak legs and feet made her unable to maintain her composure.

She came here for the big news tonight, and the development of the matter was absolutely sensational news as she expected, but she didn't expect to be a hostage.

Is Lou Ji playing so big?

Guns, bombs, if it's a film and television drama, she will call it exciting, but this is the reality, the reality that if you are not careful, you will die!

Zhao Yanli didn't realize that she was not that brave until she faced the real gun and the vicious murderer. She was so frightened that her hands and feet went limp, and her mind was full of the tragic death of Xiang Changrong's family and Lin Chengtao, wondering if she would die here tonight.

Just when she was thinking wildly and Jiang Heng attracted the attention of the murderer, Li Zan sneaked up behind her and suddenly grabbed Zhao Yanli's wrist.

"what!"

Zhao Yanli screamed in fright, and immediately attracted the attention of the murderer. Before she could excuse her numbness, she was pushed out of the crowd, and she heard Li Zan's familiar voice say, "She is a well-known reporter in Yuejiang City!"

Zhao Yanli stared at Li Zan with his eyes wide open, his lips trembling, and he couldn't utter any words of denial when the murderer questioned him.

Someone came down from the stage, stood in front of Zhao Yanli, looked carefully for a few seconds, and then said to the person above: "She is a reporter from the Yuejiang People's Livelihood column, and she was the first to follow up on the murders of Xiang Changrong and Lin Chengtao." and publish."

"Bring it up."

The gun in the man's hand pointed at Zhao Yanli: "Come with us."

Zhao Yanli couldn't move, he was almost being dragged away, suddenly pointed to Li Zan in the crowd and said, "He is my assistant! If you want me to help you report grievances, bring him here! I need He helps!"

The murderer only thought for two or three seconds before agreeing to bring Li Zan along.

Li Zan stood up without any resistance, and followed Zhao Yanli. A dozen murderers dispersed and looked at the crowd. Four of them stayed in the center of the stage and opened the curtain on the left to reveal the camera and other shooting equipment.

The murderer took away everyone's mobile phones and restored the blocked signal.

The woman came to Li Zan and Zhao Yanli and said, "We will broadcast live. You are a professional reporter. I remember that you have a VX column and can directly edit the bib account of Minsheng Channel. Use your account to log in."

Zhao Yanli swallowed nervously, nodded with a forced smile, "No, no problem."

The woman said again: "As for you, Captain Li, I hope that you are just like investigating smuggling in seaports and human trafficking on the high seas. I don't ask you to be jealous, but at least do your duty."

Li Zan: "Tell me, how do you want me to cooperate?"

The woman smiled: "Captain Li knows current affairs, so please stand beside Zhao Ji and help us convey our needs as a policeman. Don't be petty, otherwise I don't mind bringing everyone here to be buried with us."

Li Zan: "It's easy to kill innocent people, have you forgotten what you just said?"

Woman: "I also said to be obedient and cooperative. As long as my premise is met, I will not attack innocent people. Well, maybe I would like to open my heart to chat with you, but not now. Even if not for those people, for Your friend, please cooperate with us."

Li Zan: "You know me, you know me well, did you investigate in advance?"

Woman: "In the past."

Li Zan and the woman looked at each other, and could only see the firm determination in the other's calm eyes. He knew that he could not be moved by a few words, so he turned and walked towards the shooting equipment.

After walking two or three steps, Li Zan suddenly turned around and said, "My investigation is progressing very quickly, and the Qingshan Red Pavilion case is expected to be re-examined."

The woman sneered: "Without us, how could there be a chance for reexamination?"

This is tantamount to admitting that the doll hid the corpse, that Xiang Changrong's entire family was wiped out, and that Lin Chengtao was murdered. Although Li Zan had some guesses, he was still shocked and had mixed feelings when he heard it.

He stood still, subconsciously rubbed the fingers hanging by his side, and moved his lips, as if he was organizing words, and felt that any language seemed pale in front of people who were always deep in the abyss of despair.

"I promise, I can uproot the evil."

The woman remained expressionless and did not speak, which meant she refused to believe Li Zan.

Maybe they used to believe it, but they don't believe it now, and it is impossible to believe it in the future.

Li Zan couldn't bear to watch them go to a dead end, but he couldn't help it at the moment. He turned his eyes around the meeting hall, tapped his fingers without a trace, and signaled the armed police personnel hiding in the crowd to stay still.

Zhao Yanli sat in the main seat, tremblingly operated the mobile phone, and asked the woman: "I, I have already logged into the column account."

The woman said: "We have a video here, you post it with the title of the real culprit who killed Xiang Changrong and Lin Chengtao."

Zhao Yanli was taken aback when he heard the words, they were the real culprits who killed Xiang Changrong's family and Lin Chengtao?Not Wu Yongwang, Cheng Nan, or Lou Ji?

She looked at Li Zan suddenly, but found that the other party was the same, obviously had expected the real culprit, and even lied to her that the real culprit was Lou Ji!

Li Zan knocked on the table: "Send the video and your demands, at least let me know, so that I can help you."

The woman stared deeply at Li Zan, and after a while she signaled others to send the video: "If you are indeed as smart as the rumors say, you will know what we want."

The video was sent to Zhao Yanli's mobile phone, and she uploaded it to the bib number of the People's Livelihood First column, and hung up the required title and the room number of the live broadcast. After finishing everything, Zhao Yanli accidentally clicked on the video, and the voice in the video instantly put out.

"My surname is Cheng, and my name is Cheng Keyi. I am female. I was born in 1993. I am the No. 89 adopted child of the Qingshan Welfare Institute and a victim of the Qingshan Hongguan case."

"My name is Cheng Tong, male, born in 1998, an adopted child of Qingshan Welfare Yuan No. 303, and a victim of the Qingshan Hongguan case."

"My name is Cheng Xin, female..."

There is no redundant content in the video, only the self-introduction of one victim after another. The names and appearances of more than a dozen murderers in the hall appear in the video, including women.

A woman named Cheng Keyi, born in 89, was one of the earliest victims.

As the names were read out, there were hundreds of people. The people squatting on the right finally remembered that they were more or less the perpetrators of the Qingshan Hongguan case, and now they were seeking revenge. Heart panic.

Yu Hongying sat paralyzed on the ground, bowed her head and was speechless.

Zhao Xi looked bewildered, and asked his assistant in a low voice what the Qingshan Hongguan case was. After being popularized, he became even more confused: "But I had never been to Yuejiang City at that time, so how did I become one of the perpetrators?"

The assistant couldn't bear to look directly at him, and gently reminded him that he still had a cousin who was in charge of the Qingshan Project back then, and he might be involved in it.

Zhao Xi felt deeply wronged, and wanted to raise his hand to explain, but his assistant held his mouth tightly.

Zhao Yanli on the stage only had a superficial understanding of the Qingshan Red Pavilion case, but he didn’t know exactly how tragic it was. But seeing the people in the video were born in millennia, and thinking about the Red Pavilion’s existence in 20052013-13, even if it was the latest to receive customers He was only [-] years old, and suddenly felt a cluster of flames burning in his chest.

Li Zan remained calm: "You are not satisfied with the verdict."

Cheng Keyi: "Do you think we should be satisfied?"

Li Zan lowered his eyes and said softly, "Is it worth the rest of your life?"

Among this group of people, the oldest is only 30 years old, which is the most brilliant and beautiful age in life. Why do you want to spend the rest of your life as a murderer?

Obviously there is a better way, you don't have to die to get revenge——

These thoughts are stirring in Li Zan's chest, his thoughts are quite chaotic, and there is also a kind of "persuading others to be kind without suffering from others", but for Li Zan, life is more important, and life is the source of all hope .

When they put the doll containing Cheng Katie's body in the abandoned building in Qingshan, the police had already noticed the abnormality of the Qingshan Red Pavilion case. Even without this man-made 'accident', the police never gave up on the Red Pavilion case.

Things were complicated back then, and the Red Pavilion case was closed hastily, but it was not actually stored in the file as a case. When Li Zan called up the file in the database, he discovered this. The police did not give up continuing to investigate the Red Pavilion case, but temporarily sealed it up. , When the time is right, the case investigation will be launched again.

So there's no need to burn jade and stone together, and there's no need to lose the rest of your life——

Perhaps Xiang Changrong, his wife and Lin Chengtao deserved to die, but should Xiang Changrong's parents and children deserve to die?Should he be tortured?

Is Cheng Nan worth the rest of her life, her womb, her child and her life, to take revenge on the guilty?

The price is too great.

Cheng Keyi looked at Li Zan, suddenly showed a sarcastic smile, and then put it away: "If you meet the murderer who killed your parents and your teachers and friends back then, and there is no way to bring them to justice, would you still ask me?" does it worth?"

"Do you think we have a choice? Do you think we don't want to start over?" Cheng Ke leaned close to Li Zan, looked straight at Li Zan, his eyes were full of bloody eyes: "Those people, don't let us go."

"It's them who clean us up like garbage."
