Death Progress Bar

In city B, Mr. Lian had indeed tracked down Li Jiuzheng, and through Shi Weichong's phone call, he located Li Jiuzheng's location.

Gua Jiu stopped typing on the keyboard, and said: "The location displayed on the target's mobile phone is on a road near the border of City L, and it is moving rapidly. The target turned off after making the call, and cannot continue to track it."

When Shi Weichong heard this, he raised his hand and wiped his face, the last bit of luck in his heart disappeared, and he leaned on the sofa in a slightly dejected manner.

Li Jiuzheng said on the phone that he had been staying in Rongcheng during this time and had never left. He also said that although he received a call from Shi Jin last night, he had no communication with Shi Jin, and Shi Jin was silent the whole time.Now Lian Jun's subordinates have located that Li Jiuzheng is in L City, which is not far from B City. Judging from the direction of action, it seems that he has just left City B and is heading towards L City. The situation is completely different from what Li Jiuzheng said on the phone. different.

Moreover, not long after Lian Jun called up Shijin's call records last night, he got the call recording of the last call restored from Shijin's mobile phone. The recording shows that Shijin spoke after the call was connected. Not only asked for help, but also reported his location in detail.

A large number of surveillance videos retrieved later also showed that a black car stopped on that street for a short time last night, and the time of the stop perfectly coincided with the time when Shi Jin hung up the phone.

The most important thing is that Lian Jun's subordinates found all of Shi Jin's personal belongings in a trash can, and after calling the nearby surveillance video, it was determined that the person who threw the things and the driver of the black car captured by the surveillance were the same one.

All the clues point to Li Jiuzheng. Before Shi Weichong was able to comfort himself with the words "There is no definite evidence that Li Jiuzheng is related to the black car, so we can't directly suspect that it is Shi Jin who was taken away by Li Jiuzheng". He had been hammered to death, and he could no longer deceive himself—his youngest brother was actually taken away by the fifth brother who he thought was the most honest, and deliberately concealed his whereabouts.

He couldn't figure out why Li Jiuzheng would do this. After all, Li Jiuzheng had never shown any obvious malice towards Shi Jin.

"Maybe Jiuzheng just wanted to help Xiaojin heal..." He found a reluctant reason for Li Jiuzheng's deceitful behavior that he didn't even believe.

Lian Jun slid his wheelchair out and said, "There is no need to hide people to treat injuries. Hexagram [-], book a ticket to Rongcheng, and send people to track Li Jiuzheng's location at various highway intersections."

"Yes." Gua nodded and said yes, then turned around and went to do it.

Shi Weichong frowned and said, "Even if Xiao Jin was really taken away by Jiuzheng, he certainly wouldn't really hurt—"

"Are you sure that Li Jiuzheng has absolutely no malice toward Shi Jin?" Lian Jun interrupted him, pointing straight to the point.

Shi Weichong was speechless - no, he couldn't be sure, everyone in the Shi family, including himself, had absolutely no kindness towards Shi Jin before seeing the changed Shi Jin.

Shijin in the past was really an eyesore. The negative emotions accumulated over the long ten years cannot be easily covered up with a "maybe".He knew why everyone didn't show any malice towards Shi Jin before.Although Li Jiuzheng never showed anything on the surface, no one really could tell what he was thinking in his heart.

Seeing that he could not answer, Lianjun twitched the corner of his mouth into a sneer, and said, "You brothers are really more ridiculous than each other. How can Shi Jin apologize to you?" After speaking, he slid the wheelchair and left, his head shaking no reply.

Gua Er and others hurriedly followed.

In a blink of an eye, Shi Weichong was the only one left in the study room. He pinched his mobile phone, thinking about what Lian Jun left behind, and flipped out the New Year greeting text message Shi Jin sent last night. He strode out of the study.

……

Shi Jin was injured, and kept bumping in the car, didn't have a good rest, his consciousness was forced to wake up for a while, and then he couldn't help being confused again, and after a while, he developed a high fever, let alone looking for opportunities After escaping and reporting to the outside world, it became very difficult to even stay awake.

Li Jiuzheng quickly realized what was wrong with him, looked at him sideways, moved his fingers, and chose to ignore him.

Unknowingly, a few hours passed, and when the sun was at its thinnest in the afternoon, the car finally stopped——Li Jiuzheng's destination had arrived.

Shi Jin was forced to wake up, got out of the car limply, and looked forward with his swollen and drowsy brain under the reminder of Xiao Shi, his heart almost stopped beating in fright—Li Jiuzheng actually brought him to the cemetery, What is this for, to kill people?Destroy corpses and wipe out traces?

"The first day of the new year is a good day to worship." Li Jiuzheng said in a calm tone, waved his hand to signal the driver to wait outside the cemetery, and dragged Shi Jin into the cemetery.

"Fifth Brother, what did you bring me here for..." Shi Jin was pulled forward, his throat hurt and his eyes were blurred, and he stumbled. If Li Jiuzheng hadn't been pulling him, he would probably have slipped to the ground.

Hearing his hoarse voice, Li Jiuzheng turned his head to look at him, stopped and removed a few pills, fed them to his mouth, and said, "Take it, you can't pass out now."

Shi Jin didn't hold back, he obediently opened his mouth and swallowed the medicine dry, took a deep breath to pull himself together, and asked again: "Fifth Brother, where is this place?"

Li Jiuzheng continued to drag him forward, and replied, "The place where my mother is buried."

"What? Bury your mother...cough cough cough cough." Shi Jin spoke too hastily, accidentally choked on the tablet stuck in his throat, and immediately bent over and coughed non-stop.

Li Jiuzheng was forced to stop, looked back at him, the hand holding his arm slowly tightened, and his expression became a little scary.

"Come in, the progress bar has gone up again, 910." Xiao Si panicked, feeling that something was wrong with Li Jiuzheng.

Hearing this, Shi Jin hurriedly suppressed his breath and coughed, his throat got stuck several times in discomfort, he raised his eyes to look at Li Jiuzheng, and signaled that he could go on and not worry about himself.

I have to say that Shi Jin's current appearance is really pitiful, his complexion is terrible, his lips are bloodless, his cheeks are sickly red due to the high heat, his hair is limp and limp, and the hospital gown he casually put on last night is very uncomfortable. Fitted and hung loosely, the coat was messed up, and there was blood on it, and the exposed wrists were full of traces of frozen blood vessels, just by looking at it, you could tell it was cold.

Looking at his current appearance, Li Jiuzheng's eyes were in a daze for a moment. After regaining his senses, his expression suddenly sank. He stopped talking and grabbed him to stride towards a certain corner of the cemetery.

Shi Jin staggered to follow, but he didn't dare to talk to Li Jiuzheng again, and only communicated with Xinxin in his heart: "Li Jiuzheng's mother died? Why didn't this be mentioned in the original plot!"

Xiao Shi was also surprised by this, and replied hesitantly: "Probably because the original plot was written from the perspective of the original owner, and the original owner didn't know about it, so it was not mentioned in the plot."

Shi Jin felt bitter when he heard it, and said painfully: "I don't mention such important information, the plot is too boring, no wonder why I just asked Li Jiuzheng last night why he was not at home to accompany his family during the Chinese New Year, and the progress bar suddenly stopped. After a while, it turned out that his most important family member had passed away, and my question was heart-pounding."

Xiao Shi was very anxious, more worried about his physical condition than the plot, and said: "Jin Jin, you need follow-up treatment and a good rest, you can't drag on like this any longer."

"Of course I know, but now we don't have the conditions for treatment and rest..." Shi Jin glanced at Li Jiuzheng who was striding forward and dragging himself forward, barely gathered his thoughts, and said, "And Li Jiuzheng's attitude is really weird , I always feel that I can learn something from him... Let's see the situation first, I can still hold on."

Xiao Shi had no choice but to add a bunch of buffs to him, hoping that he would feel better and persist for a while, secretly praying that Lian Jun would come soon.

The two dragged one another, and walked for a while before arriving at Li Jiuzheng's mother's cemetery. After that, Li Jiuzheng pressed Shi Jin's tombstone, which was still very new, touched the photo on the tombstone, and said, "Look at the tombstone. She, take a good look."

Shi Jin was pressed so hard that he almost bumped into the tombstone, and he barely managed to stabilize his body with his hands on the ground, and rubbed his knee on the ground, the pain was burning, and his skin should have been broken.

He frowned to hold back the pain, and changed his posture to sit in front of the tombstone instead of kneeling. He looked up at the photo Li Jiuzheng was pointing at, and then froze - Li Jiuzheng's mother didn't look like Li Jiuzheng at all, but resembled him The eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar.

No, it's not that they don't look the same at all. If you look carefully, Li Jiuzheng's mother and Li Jiuzheng still have similarities, such as the outline of the face and the shape of the lips, but it's the eyebrows...

"It doesn't look like it, does it?" Li Jiuzheng bent down, pressed Shi Jin's shoulder with one hand, touched the photo on the tombstone with the other, looked at the gentle and beautiful woman in the photo with Shi Jin, and whispered, "Obviously I am her." But I don’t look like her at all, but you... She wants a child who looks like her in her dreams, you say I will give you to her, okay? "

...what a fart! ! !

Shi Jin was startled by this sentence, and was full of random words. It turned out that Li Jiuzheng's deep killing intent towards the original owner came from such a damn reason. Who would have thought that Li Jiuzheng's mother would look like the original owner!

But isn't the original owner's face very similar to the original owner's mother? Why is it also similar to Li Jiuzheng's mother?Obviously both Xu Chuan and Rong Zhouzhong said that the original owner looks like his mother... Wait!The original owner and the original owner's mother look alike, and the original owner is somewhat similar to Li Jiuzheng's mother's eyebrows and eyes, so does this explain from the side, the original owner's mother and Li Jiuzheng's mother's eyebrows and eyes also look alike...

There is some very important information that is about to jump out of his mind. Shi Jin is about to think about it, but suddenly his neck hurts. Looking down, he finds that Li Jiuzheng has actually pulled out a scalpel and put it on his neck , and gently rubbed a small opening, and immediately no thoughts in my mind.

——This time I am really going to die!

Little Death broke down and screamed: "Come in! The progress bar has risen to 990! Do something!"

Shi Jin was also about to collapse.Do something, what can he do in such a situation that even ghosts can't figure out!It's better to kill yourself with a knife like this and forget it!Li Jiuzheng is simply a lunatic, why can such a dangerous person be a doctor who heals diseases and saves lives!

wait, doctor?

Shi Jin had a flash of inspiration, blessed to his heart, raised his hand to hold Li Jiuzheng's hand holding the scalpel with desperate thoughts, and said seriously: "Brother, don't use this, and don't stay here, the scalpel is used to save people. Don't get your hands dirty because of me."

Li Jiuzheng's hands froze, his tone suddenly became more serious, and he said coldly: "Do you think that I will let you go?"

"I just hope you can let yourself go!" Shi Jin quickly replied, trying to relax his body and leaning against him, glanced at the time of Li Jiuzheng's mother's death on the tombstone, had an idea in his mind, and said softly, "Brother, it's been so many years , you had countless chances to kill me, but you never did it, you don't want to kill me, right?"

Li Jiuzheng didn't speak, nor did he push him away. He looked at the tombstone with deep emotions in his eyes, making it hard to distinguish.

The wound was a little uncomfortable, Shi Jin frowned, but still tried to stabilize his tone, slowly turned sideways, and tentatively stretched out his arms to hug Li Jiuzheng's waist, letting Xiao Si add a bunch of buffs to himself, his voice became lower and lower : "Brother, I know you just lost your mother just now, and you feel very sad, so you were impulsive... This year, you obviously could spend the New Year with her, but you suddenly lost her a year ago, and you lost the New Year with her forever." Chance."

Li Jiuzheng's hand on his shoulder tightened suddenly, and his body tensed up.

Shi Jin hurriedly bumped himself into his arms, hugged him tightly, squeezed away the scalpel in his hand, and followed his back comfortingly, and continued: "Brother, I am the same as you. I am also alone, and after so many years, I don't even know what my mother looks like, where she is buried, and I don't even have a little memory of her in my mind, bro, I only have you guys..."

Li Jiuzheng didn't speak, but tightened his hand holding the scalpel, and then slowly relaxed, his lips were tightly pursed.

"Brother, let me accompany you, we will celebrate the New Year together like before, we will pass, it's okay, it's okay already." Shi Jin continued to comfort him, making Xiao Si maximize the effects of various buffs.

"...What are you?" After a long time, Li Jiuzheng finally spoke, his voice was very low, sarcasm, but the hand holding the scalpel slowly dropped, his body relaxed, and he sat down on the ground as if he had lost all strength.

Xiaosi surprised and reminded: "It's down, the progress bar has dropped to 950!"

Shi Jin heaved a sigh of relief, seeing that the plan of selling misery to seek approval worked, he hurriedly fell into Li Jiuzheng's arms, rubbed his head on Li Jiuzheng's shoulder comfortingly, and continued: "Brother, if you are really uncomfortable, just cry Let's go, I'll accompany you."

Scientific research shows that hugging and venting emotions can quickly soothe the emotions of those who have been emotionally hurt. Shi Jin only hopes that after venting like this, Li Jiuzheng can reduce his murderous intentions towards himself a little.

However, Li Jiuzheng didn't cooperate with him. Although he didn't push away his hug, his emotions gradually calmed down, and the initial alienation and indifference appeared in his eyes again, and he said: "Only trash cries, I'm not trash."

"..." Shi Jin suddenly regretted that he didn't watch more emotional talk shows before, and imitated the tear-jerking skills of other hosts.

The progress bar is still very dangerous. Li Jiuzheng's murderous intentions have obviously not completely dissipated. Shi Jin weighed the current situation and said sweetly and sweetly: "Then let me cry for you. I'm not good at all anyway. My mother I was too young when I passed away, so I don’t know if I have cried, but now we are brothers and sisters, if you can’t cry, then I will come, it’s okay, my brother will always be my brother’s caring little cotton padded jacket.” After finishing speaking, let Xiaoshi add to himself After a bit of buff, he burst into tears as soon as his nose twitched. The tears flowed as if he didn't need money, and soon wet Li Jiuzheng's shoulders.

Li Jiuzheng: "..."

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..

Li Jiuzheng, who was a bit of a clean freak, froze for a moment, raised his hand and pushed him away in disgust.

Shi Jin was crying sadly, how could he let him push himself away, stretched out his hand and directly strangled his neck and hugged him even tighter, howling and poking Xiao Si in his heart: "What the hell are you doing?" buff, why do I feel so uncomfortable in my heart, I wish I could cry down on the Great Wall to vent."

Xiaosi said weakly: "I, what I added to you is the buff that Meng Jiangnu cried down the Great Wall..."

Shi Jin: "... woo woo woo woo."

The north wind was blowing, and the sun was gradually setting.

The two brothers sat in front of the tombstone, one with both hands hanging down, looking at the tombstone expressionlessly, with slightly frowned eyebrows, and restrained eyes filled with forbearance; one hugged the other and cried until the sky collapsed, as if the sky would collapse before giving up.

Some grave-sweepers saw this scene, couldn't help but imagined a bloody scene of life and death, sighed a few times, shook their heads and left.

After more than an hour, Shi Jin's crying finally weakened. Dehydration, high fever and hunger, all kinds of negative conditions entangled his body, and his consciousness gradually became a little blurred. into Li Jiuzheng's arms.

"When she met Shi Xingrui, she was just a naive girl under 20 years old."

Li Jiuzheng spoke suddenly, his voice was soft but without emotion.Shi Jin's drowsy consciousness was pulled back a little, and he tilted his head and rubbed against his chest, showing that he was listening.

"She was the last woman Shi Xingrui provoked... before your mother appeared. Although Shi Xingrui abandoned her immediately after I was born, she still had illusions in her heart—look, your father Still thinking about you, he didn't look for another woman, maybe he will turn back at any time... It's these ridiculous thoughts that make her mend those virtual fantasies more and more perfect, and then gradually indulge in them. "

Shi Jin opened his eyes, a little dazed.

"But fantasies are just fantasies after all. When your mother appeared, her fantasies were shattered... Then she concocted another dream—look, that woman looks a lot like me. Your father just wants to be young It’s all about my body, it doesn’t matter, when she gives birth to a child like me, and her figure changes, your father will realize who is the best one... But your mother is special, and you are also special.”

Shi Jinqiang propped up his body and looked up at Li Jiuzheng's expression.

Li Jiuzheng looked down at him, with a blank expression, and raised his hand to touch his face: "Then she went crazy, in the real sense. She woke up from a dream at first, not believing that she had been abandoned, ignoring the existence of your mother, Wishful thinking that you are also his child, and blamed Shi Xingrui for not coming to see her all on me - because I don't look like her, nor like Shi Xingrui, so Shi Xingrui hates me, She even abandoned her. Later, she even suspected that I was hugged wrongly. Do you think it's ridiculous, I'm right in front of her eyes, but she thinks that you, whom she has never seen before, are her child. "

"Brother..." Shi Jin felt uncomfortable when he heard it, and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say.

"Genes are such a strange thing. There were many things I couldn't understand back then, so I studied medicine." Li Jiuzheng blocked the lower half of Shi Jin's face, only looked at his eyebrows and eyes, his eyes gradually blurred, "Later I understood I learned a lot, and I know why I am not like my parents, and I know that her dream like that is actually a physical problem. I tried my best to treat her and carefully maintain her mental state... Then Shi Xingrui died, and he finally died I thought she could finally wake up from her dream..."

"Brother, stop talking." Shi Jin raised his hand to hold his hand, trying to stop him from speaking.

Li Jiuzheng put down his hand, completely expressionless: "But she died, woke up from the dream, and she didn't even have the last bit of will to live. No matter how I tried to keep her, she still died, right in front of me. She even He blamed me until he died, saying why I don't look like her."

Shi Jin hurriedly grabbed his hand again, and said, "It's not your fault, she's just sick, brother, it's all Shi Xingrui's fault, your mother is just sick, and you're not to blame."

"I almost made the same mistakes as hers, had the same dreams as hers - if only you hadn't been born, if you were really her child...but what does it have to do with you , you are just a child who lost his mother..." Li Jiuzheng slowly withdrew his hand, and thick walls were built in his eyes, hiding all his emotions inside and preventing others from entering, "Shi Jin, you let's go."

Xiaosheng exclaimed: "Down! Jinjin, your progress bar has directly dropped to 500! It's unbelievable!"

Shi Jin was taken aback for a moment, then frowned fiercely, looked at Li Jiuzheng and said, "Fifth brother, I won't leave, don't think wildly, life will get better."

"You go." Li Jiuzheng stopped looking at him, picked up the scalpel on the ground, suddenly looked at the path not far away, and said, "That person is here to pick you up, right? This way... let's go, I don't want to see you again."

Shi Jin was taken aback for a moment, and looked in the direction he was looking, and saw a familiar figure in a wheelchair approaching the end of the path, his eyes lit up, and he instinctively got up to meet him, but he just took a step , quickly took it back, bent down and snatched the scalpel in Li Jiuzheng's hand, pulled him up from the ground, and said, "We worshiped our ancestors on the first day of the new year. Now that we're done worshiping, it's time to go back and continue celebrating the new year."

Li Jiuzheng frowned, got up and reached out to grab the scalpel in his hand, and said, "Give me back the knife."

"No, it's mine." Shi Jin simply stuffed the scalpel into his pocket, grabbed Li Jiuzheng's hand, and said while pulling him towards Lianjun, "I told you I want to stay with you." , our two brothers have lost their parents, so it’s good to celebrate the New Year together, let’s go, go home, I’ll make dumplings for you.”

Li Jiuzheng stood still: "Rongcheng doesn't eat dumplings during Chinese New Year."
