I come from the abyss

"I, Cheng Bei, and Xiang Yang lived in the same orphanage for nearly five years. The orphanage was closed, and we were sent to the Qingshan Orphanage. Not long after, we were taken over by Cheng Wanke. The name was changed, and the past documents were destroyed. Then Huo Jingshan lost his eldest son, his wife was insane, and at that time he was doing some shady business with Cheng Wanke, and he adopted a child on a whim, and brought him back to comfort his wife's spirit."

"I was taken away."

"I had a good life, like a child in a wealthy family who was doted on by parents and elders, except that Huo Jingshan was a little lukewarm towards me, but he was injured in his early years and would not have any more children. In addition, I remember Xiangyang and Cheng Beijiao Those who have surpassed me never forget to imitate Huo Jingshan's dead son, and after a long time, he really treats me as his son."

"I haven't forgotten Sister Xiangyang and Brother Cheng Bei. I have been looking for a chance to come back to the orphanage to see them, but Huo Jingshan refused to let go, but I know that he has been in touch with Cheng Wanke and Qingshan Hongguan."

"When I was 15 years old, I hid in the trunk of Huo Jingshan's car and sneaked into the Qingshan Red Pavilion. I was discovered by Brother Cheng Bei and hid it. I witnessed the dirty and bloody truth with my own eyes. I returned to Hong Kong City in a daze, tried to report, and tried to save them. Instead, I was warned by Huo Jingshan that if I don’t obey, I will be sent back to the Red Pavilion, where the guests like my 15-year-old androgynous age—"

Huo Wenying paused for a few seconds, closed his eyes and endured some dark and disgusting memories: "Huo Jingshan has already regarded me as his heir at this time, so he just warned me, scared me, told me to be quiet, don't cause trouble, otherwise I won't be able to keep me I later investigated and found out that Mr. Song and Cheng Wanke knew that I called the police and wanted to get rid of me, and it was Huo Jingshan who paid a lot of money to keep me."

Li Zan's eyes fell on Huo Wenying's curled fingers, and he probably understood his complicated psychology. He couldn't accept Huo Jingshan's help and abuse, but Huo Jingshan did treat him well.

"Don't worry, I can figure it out." Huo Wenying showed a reluctant smile: "It's true that Huo Jingshan is kind to me, and it is also a fact that he stepped on other people's lives to rise to the top. In the first few years, Huo Jingshan helped Cheng Wanke and the others smuggle them, saying that they bought women When he came back, he developed a gallery store on Bolan Street in Hong Kong City, and he insisted not to accept minors, which is his bottom line of humanity."

"Later, to protect me, Huo Jingshan broke up with Cheng Wanke, Mr. Song and others. The hair salon on Bolan Street was also closed, and he concentrated on real estate business. I was forced to go abroad to study, and I tried my best to collect relevant information about the Red House. When she found out that the Red Hall was closed, she wept with joy, bought a plane ticket and sneaked back to Yuejiang City, and contacted Brother Cheng Bei to find out how tragic Miss Xiangyang’s death was.”

"Only Cheng Wanke is under the law, and Mr. Song is still at large. Brother Cheng Bei and I are not reconciled, but there is nothing we can do if we are not reconciled. We don't even know what he looks like, so how can we get revenge?"

Li Zan glanced at Huo Wenying and Cheng Bei: "Obviously you have found a way to get revenge in the end."

"We don't want money, we don't want power, we are at a loss, we can only dormant, and learn some survival skills that can save lives and kill others. Two or three years ago, I finished my studies and returned to China, and found in the safe of Huo Jingshan's study. A document about the property of the Church of Mary. Out of curiosity, I looked it up and found that it is an orphanage for women who lost their feet and abandoned babies."

Huo Wenying clasped his fingers tightly, his fingertips turned white, and his eyes were straight: "Women, abandoned babies, orphanages...any word is enough to evoke the darkest part of my memory, and it's hard for me not to doubt something."

He suddenly looked at Li Zan with sharp eyes: "You should have found out about the Church of Mary, and you have some doubts about that place." Huo Wenying said firmly, "Cheng Nan escaped from that church for women. The badge she left at the scene when she committed suicide is the same as that of Sister Xiangyang, the specifications are exactly the same, and it comes from a manuscript designed by the same person."

"I have a question. Did you put the doll's stump in the unfinished building?"

"...No." Huo Wenying looked a little gloomy and emotional: "We have been looking for Sister Xiangyang's body these years, but we have never been able to find it! Even if we find Sister Xiangyang's body, we will only let her go to the ground as soon as possible. Her stump was packed in a doll and thrown in an abandoned high-rise! How could you insult her like this?! Even if you want to take revenge, you will never use Xiangyang's body, not to mention that any case brought out is enough to make the police Paying attention to the Qingshanhongguan case back then, why bother?"

"The police probably haven't disclosed the case of the doll hiding the corpse in the unfinished building. Why do you know that the stump belongs to Xiangyang when I mention it?" Hold Huo Wenying's attention.

"We often pay attention to the police reports on homicides in Yuejiang City. When we see dolls, stumps and a few other information, we can basically be sure that it is Xiangyang." Cheng Bei said: "Because Xiangyang's stumps were put into her beloved Among the kitty dolls, they are collected by the perverted Mr. Song, and those kitty dolls are Xiangyang's birthday present every year."

Li Zan: "Sorry."

If it wasn't Huo Wenying and Cheng Bei, who would it be?

Who can take away this collection from Mr. Song's collection room, and send it to the unfinished building even thousands of miles away, who has this ability and is familiar with the Red Pavilion case back then?

"Is the bronze badge that Cheng Nan left at the crime scene unexpected or planned?"

"Unexpected. It is impossible for us to leave any evidence to attract the police's attention to Port City, lest the plan be destroyed."

Li Zan was thoughtful, he probably knew who did the doll in the unfinished building and the bronze badge at the scene of Cheng Nan's murder.

***

HK Central and Western District.

noon.

On Baijiadao in Taiping Mountain, the black car slowly drove into the garage of the half-mountain villa, the door was opened, Li Zan landed on both feet, with his arms on the roof of the car, he rushed towards Jiang Heng in the driver's seat to tease.

"I don't know when you still drive so gracefully, is it because you want to be a good baby when you go home?"

Jiang Heng slammed the car door, and admitted generously: "Ms. Liang likes gentlemen. Look at me, I changed my appearance today. Does it look like I'm going to a cultural gala tonight?"

Li Zan looked Jiang Heng up and down, and said sternly, "I think it's more like preparing to go to the streets to make a fuss."

Jiang Heng took out a gift from the back seat, and said clearly after hearing the words: "You want to sleep with me now."

Li Zan took the gift and walked in front.

Jiang Heng followed closely: "I'm teasing you, right? You want to sleep with me, or you want me to sleep with you dressed like this, without taking off any clothes... I don't mind, look at you Pick a time, and sometimes some situational play can help build the relationship."

Li Zan: "Are you worthy of today's well-prepared appearance?"

Jiang Heng spread his hands: "It's common for me to be inconsistent."

Li Zan absently responded to Jiang Heng, looking at the surrounding environment, surrounded by green plants, fresh air, and a wide view. The villa is halfway up the mountain, and there are only two villas occupying a large area of ​​land, so the environment is extraordinarily quiet, and the sound of birdsong can also be heard .

I heard that a lawn was built on the top of the villa, from which you can see the bustling city and beach at the foot of the mountain.

Just as he was thinking wildly, Jiang Heng held Li Zan's shoulder with his hand, and a familiar aura enveloped him. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Heng's gentle smile: "This is the house I used to live in before I was ten years old. I saw the crooked tree in front of me. Neck tree? It’s a small sapling I planted when I was six years old. I was playful and liked to climb the trunk, but the trunk was crushed, and without correction, it grew into what it is now.”

As expected, Li Zan was attracted to the crooked-neck tree, staring at the crooked-neck tree, and raised doubts: "Generally speaking, young saplings have unstable roots and fragile trunks. They must not be able to bear the weight of a six-year-old child. They should die early."

Jiang Heng: "Strictly speaking, it's not considered a sapling."

Li Zan: "Then it won't cause deformity due to climbing."

There was a moment of silence in the ears, Li Zan looked suspiciously, and saw Jiang Heng touching his nose, feeling uncomfortable: "I had a big appetite when I was young."

Li Zan suddenly realized that Jiang Heng was a fat man when he was a child.

Pushing his elbow against Jiang Heng's abdomen, Li Zan asked maliciously, "How much?"

"553 pounds."

"Hey, overweight!"

"Yes."

"...?"

Li Zan turned his head stiffly to look at the source of the sound, and saw that the door of the villa opened at some time, and a lady with black hair and green eyes in a tight-fitting black cheongsam, with delicate and soft features was looking at them with a gentle smile.

Jiang Heng: "Ms. Liang, good afternoon."

Li Zan straightened his back and subconsciously shouted: "Ms. Liang, good afternoon." After a moment of stupefaction, he realized something was wrong, and quickly changed his words: "Auntie, good afternoon, my name is Li Zan."

There was a gentle smile in Liang Gui's eyes: "Come in."

As soon as she entered the door, she pulled Li Zan to look at her and touched Li Zan's face. Ms. Liang Gui was particularly happy: "It doesn't look like Liang Mei, but I like it when I see it. The last time I heard Liang Mei talk about you and Xiao Chengzi, I always I want to see you, I urged Jiang Heng to bring you here quickly, I am always busy with things, and I am still thinking about going to your place for Chinese New Year this year."

Li Zan has always been unable to stand up to the enthusiastic ladies, so he sat down like a doll and let Ms. Liang Gui "knead flat and round".

"I've been trying to find a time to see you, too."

Liang Gui: "Have you eaten?"

The forgotten Jiang Heng interjected: "Neither of us."

Liang Gui: "I'll cook a bowl of noodles for you." After saying that, she got up and went to the kitchen.

Li Zan untimely thought of a common line in Hong Kong TV dramas "cook a bowl of noodles", which turned out to be not a stereotype.

"Ms. Liang can only cook noodles."

Li Zan was not surprised that Jiang Heng could see through him, so he just asked, "Auntie lives here alone?"

Jiang Heng sat down and put his arms around Li Zan: "She likes to be quiet." After a pause, he said, "Actually, I was carried away from Ms. Liang when I was born, and it was said that I lived here before I was ten years old. When I come back occasionally, I can always create the happiest memories. My parents and sister are here, and this is my home."

Li Zan held Jiang Heng's hand.

Jiang Heng smiled and said nothing.

The rustling leaves, mottled light and shadows, and crisp birdsong made the environment more tranquil. Li Zan and Jiang Heng enjoyed a rare and leisurely afternoon here when they first arrived in the port city.
