Don't move the old man's bounty

"Xiao Shi, you will never understand my despair. Forever."

This is Jiang Juan's opening remarks.

His mind was so chaotic, it was difficult to sort out the context, so he simply let his temper go, and said whatever came to his mind.

"There is a video widely circulated on the dark web, which is the data I most want to erase in my life. It is like a sharp knife hanging over my head all the time, and it can destroy my reputation at any time. It is the powerful against the betrayer The punishment imposed is eternal punishment and torment."

Jiang Juan's mood gradually stabilized, and he patted Xiao Shi's shoulder, motioning him to get out of the way, then got up, staggered back to the corner of the wall that gave him a little peace of mind, and slumped down.

Xiao Shi picked up the phone, held the ray of light and stopped in front of Jiang Juan.

He found that the man hugged his knees and turned his face to the side of the wall. He didn't want to look at him, and he didn't want to look directly at the bright light. He simply turned off the light and sat beside him.

"I know you feel uncomfortable. For so many years, you have been holding back and refusing to speak. After finally opening your mouth, tell all the pain in your heart, and you will be relieved if you speak out. I waited for this day, and I waited for it For a long time."

"You shouldn't wait, and you shouldn't expect it. You won't want to know the answer." Jiang Juan asserted, "After hearing it, you will only despise me and...hate me even more."

"How come? Why do you think I hate you?" Xiao Shi panicked, "Don't remember the stupid things I said when I was young. I was an asshole at that time. I just wanted to find someone to vent my anger on. But that person shouldn't be you , Many years ago, I was punished."

"It's not that matter, it has nothing to do with my brother."

Jiang Juan blocked his eyes clumsily with the backs of his two wounded hands. He couldn't see anything, but he struggled in vain, trying to sink himself into the ground.

"...It has nothing to do with my brother, it's me. Xiao Shi, I'm dirtier than you think. After you know what I have done before, you will definitely hate me."

Xiao Shi licked his lips, "I'll give you some time to feel better, so let me treat your wound, okay?"

Knowing that he couldn't see, Jiang Juan nodded slightly.

"Last year, Xiao Xun and Song Yuzhi were involved in a hunting game. The game was called 'Paradise', and the hunting ground was located at the former site of the amusement park in Lingge Mountain. It was an amusement facility first developed in the 90s, and it attracted a lot of people when it first opened. The tourists made a lot of money for this. But the good times didn’t last long. Due to frequent accidents, people panicked and the number of tourists plummeted. It didn’t take long before the operating company went bankrupt. Cheng Sanshi took the opportunity to buy this land. It is planned to develop a rich area with mountain-view houses, but the plan has been postponed and failed to be implemented. Rumor has it that the souls of the dead who had an accident in the paradise are entrenched in Lingge Mountain and refuse to leave. Even if the master is invited to do it, the resentment cannot be resolved. The Cheng family was afraid of accidents, so they could only put it on hold. These words are all nonsense. If Cheng Sanshi wants to do something, how can he give up if he doesn't achieve his goal? He is just covering people's eyes and ears, sitting on this land and doing shady things .”

It can be heard that Jiang Juan really hates Cheng Sanshi, even in front of his illegitimate son, he is still not soft-spoken.

He didn't want to stimulate Xiao Shi, but he was just trying to hide his intense emotion.

Xiao Shi said: "I heard Song Yuzhi mention that in recent years Lingge Mountain still has frequent cases, such as the disappearance of mountain climbers, suicide holy places, and outrageous things like the anchor's live broadcast adventure being frightened by ghosts. Thinking about it this way ..."

Why does it feel somewhat similar to Fengming Mountain?

After the "ghost domain", private search teams and expedition organizations have gone deep into the Fengming Mountains many times, and there are many cases of disappearances and deaths.The case of Zhang Tingjun killing his parents should also be included.

"I know what you want to say. Your guess is close to ten. These locations, including the '6.23' chemical plant bombing that Xiao Xun encountered ten years ago, are all related to Bai Lishu and his '17'. The place where Sanshi conducted underground transactions with this organization."

Jiang Juan inserted his five fingers into his hair and hugged himself even tighter.

Xiao Shi pressed it over, and his body temperature penetrated through the thin clothes. This compactness gave Jiang Juan a little peace of mind.

"12 years ago... At that time, I was 22 years old, and under the arrangement of Deputy Yu, I entered the '17' undercover. My brother and I had to go deep into the tiger's den. The reason for being selected was... I was a different kind."

These words were like a sharp knife piercing deeply into Xiao Shi's chest, stirring his lungs, and the pain made him suffocate.

Jiang Juan didn't stop talking, and continued to tell the story of his past.

"More than ten years ago, the society was not open enough at that time, and people's tolerance for heterogeneous people with different sexual orientations was far less than it is now. Homosexuality was no different from pornography, gambling and drugs at that time. People regarded such people as marginal people and avoided them. No, it seems to be more poisonous than marijuana, worse than the plague, it will be contagious if you touch it, and you can’t quit it even if you quit.”

He smiled wryly: "At that time, Xiao Xun and I lived together as good brothers, and the close friends around us would still see something strange, and if we didn't say it, it couldn't change the repulsion in our hearts. Such a taboo secret couldn't be kept secret." , Therefore, I, a 'marginal person', is more suitable than a righteous brother with a bright future to go deep into the dirty and chaotic sea of ​​swords and flames. In other words, I can simply play tricks to the point where I can't even tell the truth from the truth, and become one of them. member."

Xiao Shi said deeply: "I don't understand, why put you two young people who haven't left school in danger, they are so short of people?"

"I dare not say that everyone in the police team has such awareness. I hope that there are not a few warriors of the Republic who sacrifice themselves to defend their homes and the common people. The reason we were selected is simply because we He is the son of Jiang Xun."

Jiang Juan raised his hand and wiped the blood on his head lightly. The sticky red was almost dried up, and it condensed on his fingertips, blooming brilliantly.

"My father fought drugs on the border of Yunnan in the early years, and made a lot of contributions. As soon as he got ahead, there were many right and wrong. He was involved in the conspiracy of '17' and had to return to Yanxi. He thought he would be able to live in peace by leaving the front line. But in fact, he never escaped from the claws of '17', so in the end...he died tragically in Chaoge Mountain, and was blown to nothing."

Whenever he mentioned the past of his father and brother, he always had difficulty controlling his emotions, and this moment was no exception.

When he felt the tip of his nose sore, he stopped in time: "If there is a chance, I will tell your father's old case. Not now."

Xiao Shi nodded and said: "You don't want me to know, I won't ask more."

The man was a little irritable, and he straightened his messy forehead hair carelessly, and the more he straightened it, the more messy it became.

"In short, this is the background. I did inappropriate things at such an inappropriate time. From the beginning, Deputy Yu did not expect me to really advance intelligence work. People in the organization knew who I was and what I was holding. I approached them for my purpose, but they didn't kill me because they needed an outlet to demonstrate to the police and make the police lose face."

Speaking of this, he choked up for a moment, and the following words were broken: "It's in the basement of Lingge Mountain Paradise, they...they...the days when they messed with them, I really thought, just die, What's the point of living like this? Those videos are spreading wildly on the dark web. I have long since lost my face. When I walk on the street, people may point their noses and say: Look, that person went into the sea before, almost Being killed by someone, it's so exciting to play..."

In an instant, the cruel truth shattered all the luck left in Xiao Shi's heart. It was as if his internal organs were being torn apart like skin and bone, which made him feel so painful that he would not want to live.

He didn't know how to react, every drop of blood in his body rushed with great pain, as if he was about to burst blood vessels, tear his body shell, and he was about to come out.

He hugged Jiang Juan and pressed the man in his arms. Apart from the tighter embrace and the hot body temperature, he had nothing left to give him.

Xiao Shi thought that everything he had was given by Jiang Juan, but now, he couldn't give anything in return.

That person's sincerity was ruined by him, his body was bruised and bruised, and even his self-esteem was stepped on the ground by him, shattered like dust.

But the man said: I don't hate you.

Why……

How can he...

Jiang Juan broke down in tears: "Xiao Shi, I also want face...how come no one treats me as a person? Why..."

He couldn't figure it out, really couldn't figure it out, why was he the only one who couldn't get out of the whirlpool?Why!

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you... sorry, sorry..."

Xiao Shi seemed to have lost the ability to speak, repeating his apology again and again.

In the past many years, he has never regretted and tortured for the bastard things he has done in the past.But at this moment, self-blame, heartache, grief... These emotions crushed him suddenly, causing him to be defeated.

His Ah Juan... What kind of past has he experienced?

In those heinous evil deeds, he himself was also an executioner and swung a butcher knife at him.

When the blade fell on him, he seemed to have cried out in pain.Xiao Shi thought.

But only that once.

Perhaps for such a short moment, I was lucky to be Jiang Juan's only connection with this world.

But when this bond bites back, causing him to be injured and bleeding, he is completely cut off from the world, isolated, and will no longer take half a step out of his closed heart.

"It's my fault, I failed you... If I could understand this earlier, you wouldn't...don't have to go this far."

Xiao Shi clenched his fists tightly, his joints creaking.

He wanted to wake himself up with a wave of his palm, but both wrists were tightly grasped by the man, making it difficult to move.

"Xiao Shi, I'm afraid, Xiao Shi... So many things happened in that basement that I dare not recall. There is a tiger's den, a snake's den, and I will be buried there for the rest of my life..."

With just this sentence, Xiao Shi's last fortress also fell apart.

Snake Cave... Those wounds on his body that looked like tooth marks were indeed bitten by snakes!

What does it feel like to be wrapped tightly around the body of a cold-blooded animal, with sharp teeth penetrating into the flesh, blood flowing across the body, and venom soaking the body?

Xiao Shi had seen drug lords' methods of torturing people before, and they used all kinds of methods, but he never thought about what it would be like when the victim was Jiang Juan.

More precisely, he dared not.

He didn't dare to think at all, what happened to Jiang Juan in that unbearable past?

Jiang Juan spoke incoherently, covering his ears and crying: "... I'm afraid, I can't see the dark, I can't stay in a closed place, but Xiao Shi, I have to learn... learn to face it, sooner or later, I will also be in the dark." Death and death, being trapped in that dark, narrow box forever... just like my brother. They always say that they don't know anything after death, that they are not afraid or hurt anymore, they are all lying to me! After death Know everything... know everything!"

Xiao Shi understood that after experiencing such bone-piercing pain, the courage needed to survive is far more than death.

But Jiang Juan, who had sunk into the abyss, still dragged his boneless body, pushed aside the fog that surrounded him, walked through the long road full of thorns, and returned to the world.

"Xiao Shi..."

Jiang Juan, who seemed to have withered, knelt on the ground, his voice was exhausted, his eyes were dim and blurred, as if he wanted to find a ray of dawn from this endless darkness.

"...I stayed here for you."

The author has something to say:

Zhang Tingjun's case is actually not over yet, and this case will be mentioned later.
