sunk in yesterday

The name of the man in the windbreaker was Zeng Ying, Xia Zhuo was no stranger to this, and it was also mentioned in the police interrogation records.

He is not a local, he only has a junior high school diploma, and his family guards a few acres of land for food. After receiving nine years of compulsory education, he has no money to continue his studies, so he left Dashan early and went to a nearby city to seek a living.

Zeng Ying’s employment period is very long. At the age of 15, he entered the museum as an apprentice and followed his master for professional training. Perhaps he is gifted. He quickly mastered knowledge, and a year later he went on stage to cooperate with the first dolphin show. At that time, there was an injured dolphin in the museum, and he was responsible for the daily life and training of the dolphin, and named the dolphin "sapphire".

He is hardworking and caring.In just one year, he recovered sapphire quickly with his own strength, and made sapphire the mascot of the museum through a solo performance, attracting more tourists to come here.But this kind of mentality did not last long. Since the age of 21, Zeng Ying has had no record of progress. Instead, there have been many criticism notices. She was caught repeatedly playing mobile games in the background during work hours. Arranged work items will be forgotten.But because his deeds outweighed his demerits, the person in charge turned a blind eye to him, and occasionally said him once, but there was no actual punishment.

This fueled his arrogance and laziness.

From the age of 15 to 24, he has stayed here for nearly ten years and knows everything in the museum like the back of his hand.

Xia Zhuo's eyes were fixed on the address of his hometown. If he came out from the mountains, would the hatchet held by the cleaner be his belongings?Even... it was the murder weapon back then?

It took a lot of time to integrate all the information. After reading all of Zeng Ying's experiences, he looked through the software again, but found no other valuable things.When he was about to shut down and leave, he suddenly found that the recycle bin was not empty. There was a document called performance schedule and an unnamed picture in it.

After the incident, due to the withdrawal of sapphire, the aquarium reorganized and drew up a new performance form, and the original one was invalidated.

He looked from top to bottom line by line and found the name of sapphire.

[Ocean Performance Hall-Sapphire Dolphin Show] Monday to Tuesday, Thursday to Sunday 14:00-14:30 (in case of special circumstances such as water quality, the project will be suspended)

Another picture is a report about Shuishan Aquarium in August 08.

[It is understood that the dolphin whose fins were injured by fishing nets in the bay two years ago has recovered after being carefully cared for by the Shuishan Aquarium, and has been transported to the sea this morning for release. [Image] [image]】

This made Xia Zhuo a little confused.

In Zeng Ying's records, it is clearly written that he was responsible for taking care of the dolphin's injuries, and he performed with it on stage after 08. Could it be that the sapphire was not the one that was rescued?

No, the smash hit sapphire and the rescued dolphin should be the same one, he trusted his intuition.

Xia Zhuo left the computer desk, got up and went back to the cabinet.

The case happened in 2013, when Zeng Ying was 24 years old.He started performing on stage with the adopted dolphins at the age of 19, that is, since 2008.He compared the accounts on both sides, and found that the income of the aquarium was mediocre before 08, and it often suffered losses in the off-season.However, this downward trend suddenly changed after the summer of 08. Since then, it has achieved unattainable performance for many aquariums until one or three years ago.

If it is true that rescued dolphins were recorded participating in follow-up performances, then this report is fooling the audience. The sapphire is the dolphin that was supposed to be released, but in the end it was stolen by the aquarium and stayed behind.

Dolphins raised in captivity were released into the wild, while dolphins raised in the wild were left behind.

This is really a good move called interests.

So this time the aquarium was seized not entirely innocent, and Xia Zhuo attributed it to what he deserved.

He suddenly felt that even if dolphins attacked humans one day, it must be the end of human beings' own fault and self-inflicted consequences.

Guan Yuzhou saw him go in happily to search, but came out angrily.

"What did you find?"

Xia Zhuo puffed her cheeks, full of displeasure: "I found out that the correct time to use the whistle is from 02:30 p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m. except on Wednesdays...if my guess is correct."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Seeing his round cheeks, Guan Yuzhou thought it was funny, and poked him lightly with his hand.

The information couldn't be brought out, so Xia Zhuo could only tell Guan Yuzhou roughly what he saw.

The two walked back while talking, Guan Yuzhou said: "In fact, after one or three years, dolphins did attack humans. In an aquarium, a dolphin killed three of its keepers."

Xia Zhuo was not surprised to hear that.

Guan Yuzhou said: "People who are locked up and stay in a small environment for a long time will sooner or later become mentally abnormal. Animals with high intelligence like dolphins are no exception. Obviously, they are not suitable for such a living environment and should be respected. and freedom."

Xia Zhuo froze for a moment: "Is locked up by...?"

Many fragments seemed to flash through his mind, but those fragments couldn't be grasped at all. When he thought about it carefully, there was only boundless blackness left.

During their operation, it was completely dark.Perhaps because he had just left such a bright room, his eyes were still a little unaccustomed to the darkness at this moment, the sense of fear that he hadn't felt for a long time suddenly rose up along the exposed skin, and cold sweat broke out little by little.

The light of the flashlight gradually dimmed in his eyes, and Guan Yuzhou's voice became more and more distant. Something heavy and invisible enveloped his soul in an instant, causing his thoughts to be tightly gripped by nameless fear. Consciousness also slowly became blurred.

Guan Yuzhou didn't notice his abnormality, and was chatting with him about animals.Xia Zhuo in Yu Guangli suddenly stopped, which made him pause. When he turned his head, Xia Zhuo had squatted down with his back to the wall, hugged his legs tightly, and buried his head between his knees .

"Little Zhuo?"

Xia Zhuo didn't respond, his whole body was tense like a full bowstring, his heart was beating violently, he didn't know why he did it, but he felt that only by doing this could he reduce the lingering fear.

"Xiaoyan? Xiaoyan. Miaomiao, what's the matter? What happened?" Guan Yuzhou was also confused. He had never been like this before when Xia Zhuo was ill. He raised his heart and knelt in front of Xia Zhuo and hugged him tightly. Hold him, the temperature under the palm of your hand is icy cold, the other party suddenly seems to have lost all signs of life, as cold as a dead person.

"Don't scare me." Guan Yuzhou wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead, and kissed him repeatedly with his lips.He wanted to raise Xia Zhuo's head, so that he would not get bored and let him look at himself, but he was worried that this kind of action would shock him, so he could only repeat over and over again: "It's okay, it's okay. Here's the flashlight Take it, look at me? It's all right."

"……you……"

It took a long time for the person in his arms to move, and his ethereal voice seemed to be collapsing at any moment, saying something softly.

Guan Yuzhou pressed against his cheek, warming him with body temperature over and over again, and finally heard Xia Zhuo saying: "...Where are you taking me?"

Guan Yuzhou coaxed and said, "Shall we go back? It's getting dark, and I'll take you back to rest."

Xia Zhuo felt that this was not the answer he wanted, and asked again: "Where are you taking me?"

His trembling infected Guan Yuzhou, and the man finally couldn't take it anymore, and reached out to hold his face.

There were tears on those faces, and there was no light in the empty eyes, which were smeared by the boundless black loneliness.Xia Zhuo looked at him, as if looking at someone behind him, and murmured softly: "Where are you taking me?"

"I won't take you away, let's take it easy here first, shall we?" Guan Yuzhou closed his eyes, tightly grasped Xia Zhuo's temperatureless hand, pressed his head against his head and began to recall.

What exactly did he say that made him suddenly have such a severe stress reaction?

Xia Zhuo's fear of the dark has almost disappeared, and he was fine when he left the duty room, but there was a sudden sudden change during their conversation on the way...

So, which word did he say that caused the current situation?

Killing keepers, insanity, freedom...what else?

Xia Zhuo's resistance is already obvious, this is his protection for himself.

Guan Yuzhou brushed away his sweaty hair, fully exposing that handsome face.This face is usually smiling, but now it is as pale as paper, with no obvious expression.He forcefully opened Xia Zhuo's clenched hand, because the nails were deeply embedded, leaving crescent-shaped dents of different shades in the palm, almost bleeding from it.

Guan Yuzhou frowned.

He took off his coat and put it on Xia Zhuo, creating a temporary safe space for him.

If leaning against the wall was due to extreme insecurity, then he hoped that this rough method would have some effect.He waited slowly, squeezed the palm of Xia Zhuo's hand to relieve the pain.

"...Where are you taking me?"

"Don't go anywhere, you're safe."

He kept chanting words like mantras in Xia Zhuo's ear.

After an unknown amount of time, the person in his arms gradually relaxed.Guan Yuzhou patted him on the back, discussing and throwing the question back: "Or you can tell me, where do you want to go? I will definitely take you there."

Xia Zhuo's eyes rolled around, his eyes finally got focus, and he looked at him blankly.

He seemed to be thinking hard, suddenly frowned, and made a whining sound in his throat, as if he was trying his best to restrain the surging pain.

Guan Yuzhou heard his pleading: "I won't go with you, don't lock me up..."
