Ren Yi has been sitting in a daze for a day. Since he woke up in the hospital, he didn't say a word, didn't drink a sip of water, just in a daze.
Although, his brain is always spinning. His body and soul seemed to be separated by a brute force, one was rigid and the other was functioning, but they were incompatible and even mutually exclusive—because his heart didn't believe what his eyes saw.
He was shot, although the bullet was blocked by the body armor, but the shooting distance was relatively short, two ribs were cracked, and there was a large bruise on the lower rib, as if he had been poisoned, and it was spreading outward from here. Even the slightest movement of breathing can cause dull pain.
But these are insignificant at all, compared to everything he has experienced.
Qiu Yan is dead. He died at the scene after being shot and did not even make it to the hospital.
After waking up, the first question he asked was Qiu Yan, and the answer he received literally shot him right in the forehead, leaving him disoriented and in unbearable pain.
He couldn't believe it, couldn't believe what was happening now, couldn't believe that Gong Yingxian would disregard Qiu Yan and his life in order to catch Zi Yan.
He didn't believe that person was Gong Yingxian, he never believed it, never believed it!
Not long ago, he and Gong Yingxian were still talking about love, thinking about the future, the more dangerous the road ahead, the more precious their hopes, and all their hopes for the future rested on each other.
Is he the only one who thinks so? Did he overestimate his weight in Gong Yingxian's heart from the beginning to the end
Maybe Gong Yingxian didn't lie, liking is true, but it's also insignificant, at least compared to his obsession, he can give up at any time.
Really, Gong Yingxian, so you don't care about hurting me, you don't care about giving up on me...
But what about Qiu Yan, isn't Qiu Yan a family member to you? How can you watch her disappear
Gong Yingxian, what have you done? !
Ren Yi felt like an apple, with some color on the outside, but already full of moths inside, just like his pain spreading silently in his body, gnawing at his flesh and blood every second .
He didn't eat, drink, or sleep, just thinking about what happened that night over and over again, as if he was possessed, the struggle between reason and emotion almost tore him apart, and he couldn't even distinguish reality from illusion.
He knew that people had been coming to see him for the past two days. Those who care about him, such as Qu Yangbo, Yan Jue, and the squadron brothers, and those who care about the case, such as Captain Zhao and Zheng Pei, he can see their expressions and hear their words, but he can't respond, dare not, Unwilling and unwilling to respond, what should he say? How can he answer others that he can't even figure out
Why did Gong Yingxian do this.
Yes, why, why are these people still asking him why, he wants to know why more than anyone else in the world!
Why did Gong Yingxian allow bad guys to shoot Qiu Yan and himself
Why did Gong Yingxian disregard their lives in order to catch Zi Yan and revenge
Why can Gong Yingxian be ambiguous and emotional one moment, and callous and ruthless the next moment
All the complicated and chaotic plots and pictures gradually weakened, and in the end, only Gong Yingxian's eyes remained in his mind.
Those eyes have once been arrogant, shy, affectionate, cruel, cold, and crazy. Gong Yingxian has many faces. He thought he loved all the faces of this person, but now he realizes that the one who would shoot and kill without hesitation , A person who can swing a dagger neatly and cut his throat, in fact, has exceeded the scope of his cognition of the one he loves, and finally became a nightmare he cannot bear.
"Sorry."
These were the last words Gong Yingxian said to herself.
These were simply the harshest three words he had ever heard in his life.
It turns out that when the pain and fear are too great to face, people really just want to escape. Ren Yi "fleeed" into his own body, shrunk up, and cut off the connection with the outside world.
On the second day, Zheng Pei finally lost his patience and grabbed Ren Yi by the collar and yelled at him, trying to "wake him up".
Qu Yangbo rushed forward, if it wasn't for the dissuasion from someone nearby, he would almost have fought Zheng Pei.
A crack was shaken out of Ren Yi's protective shell, he finally looked directly at Zheng Pei, and with those dazed and cloudy eyes, he said extremely tiredly: "What do you want to ask."
Zheng Pei straightened his clothes and said angrily, "I thought you could pretend to be stupid for so long."
Ren Yi said in a deep voice, "Is there any... news about him?"
"That's exactly what I want to ask you." Zheng Pei said coldly, "You helped him evade the police, exchanged hostages, and finally helped him escape again. Don't you know where he is?"
"He went to find Zi Yan." Ren Yi murmured.
"Tell me exactly what happened that night."
Ren Yi glanced at Zheng Pei with swollen eyes, then at Qu Yangbo with a worried face, and realized that he couldn't go on like this anymore. He could hide for a while, but not for a lifetime. Sooner or later, he needed to confess that he wasn't like himself , is to the police.
He said in a hoarse voice, "Give me a glass of water."
Qu Yangbo poured a glass of water, fed Ren Yi to drink it, and left the ward voluntarily.
When only Zheng Pei and Ren Yi were left in the room, Zheng Pei stood at the head of the bed, looking down at Ren Yi—even though the chair was right beside him, Zheng Pei had no intention of sitting, but used his height to give Ren Yi invisible Putting pressure on: "Say it, if you don't open your mouth now, I'm afraid you won't have a chance in the future."
"What do you want to know." Ren Yi knew that he still wouldn't say anything to Zheng Pei, but this time it wasn't because of Gong Yingxian, but because he was also worried that Zheng Pei had other schemes, so he didn't know what to say or not. When you say it, at least hide your hole cards.
"All." Zheng Pei emphasized, "You know everything."
Ren Yi looked at Zheng Pei with a blank gaze, "I don't know where to start."
"How did Captain Qiu die?"
"..." Ren Yi didn't expect that Zheng Pei would stab him the hardest as soon as he came up, and he was suddenly at a loss, with pain and remorse appearing on his face.
Zheng Pei said coldly: "I'm very guilty, are you blaming yourself? You know in your heart that if you hadn't covered up and assisted Gong Yingxian, Captain Qiu should still be alive."
Ren Yi's body began to tremble, and guilt cut his heart back and forth like a knife. That's right, it was him, even Qiu Yan would appear in that warehouse, he was the one who took the initiative to look for it.
He pretends to be smart, he only thinks about Gong Yingxian, and ends up harming others and himself.
"If you don't want to make the same mistakes again, answer all my questions." Zheng Pei said sharply, "Answer my first question first, Captain Qiu, how did you sacrifice yourself?"
Zheng Pei didn't give Ren Yi a chance to breathe, and was so aggressive that Ren Yi had no choice but to answer with difficulty: "He was shot and killed by Huang Yan."
"Where's the bullet you hit? It's also Huang Yan?"
Ren Yi nodded, and briefly described what happened that night.
After listening, Zheng Pei was silent for a long time before he said, "You two were shot, but Huang Yan, Bai Yan and Gong Yingxian left. If it were you, how would you understand such an ending?"
"..."
"Why did Gong Yingxian leave with them?"
"I said, he went to see Zi Yan."
"Zi Yan is not mysterious, no one has seen his true face, has Bai Yan really contacted Zi Yan?"
"I don't know, even if it's a fake Ziyan, we can't tell the difference."
"How did those six people in the factory die?"
"... six?" Ren Yi was taken aback, and repeated in surprise.
"Yes, six, don't you know."
Ren Yi recalled, if there were six dead, then it proved that Zi Yan sent at least five people, plus two who pretended to be hostages and Huang Yan, there were eight in total, only Huang Yan and the one who was finally subdued by them That person is still alive.
Ren Yi said: "From what I saw, Gong Yingxian killed two and subdued one. I don't know about the other three. Maybe they were killed by... Captain Qiu." Do you have the strength to deal with so many people
"Which area of the warehouse were you mainly operating at?"
"Southwest."
"Except for the one body found in the storage area, several other people were scattered in different areas. The gangster who was captured alive said that they had five people in total. Judging from the scope of your activities, at least two people were killed by Captain Qiu. Zheng Pei narrowed his eyes, showing a thoughtful expression.
Ren Yi had mixed feelings in his heart.
"But Captain Qiu's gun was not found at the scene. Whose gun did she use? Her gun was handed in when she was suspended from duty."
"The gangsters, one of them pretended to be a hostage and was shot dead by Gong Yingxian first. Captain Qiu took his gun."
"That is the Smith 9mm pistol, they are all using this gun, but why this gun disappeared."
"...Maybe Huang Yan took it away."
"Huang Yan has already kidnapped her, there is no need to take away her gun, and the guns of other gangsters at the scene have not been taken away, so obviously he has no need to destroy the evidence, why did the gun used by Captain Duduqiu disappear?"
Zheng Pei kept mentioning Qiu Yan, Ren Yi should not keep thinking about Qiu Yan's death, he said wearily: "I don't know, is it important."
"Of course it's important. Any unreasonable place on the scene may be the key to the case." Zheng Pei stared at Ren Yi, "Is there something else you are hiding from me?"
Ren Yi looked at Zheng Pei expressionlessly, neither answering nor denying.
"It's already at this time, what are you still hiding from me?" Zheng Pei said in a deep voice, "Do you still believe in Gong Yingxian?"
"Even if I don't believe him, should I believe you?" Ren Yi whispered, "Why do you have to stop them from overturning the case?"
Zheng Pei took a deep breath and said calmly: "You have been brainwashed by Gong Yingxian. I don't have to stop them from overturning the case. I was sent to investigate all their possible dereliction of duty in the whole case. Whether the case nine years ago should be overturned is two different things. Gong Yingxian has been using you from beginning to end, over and over again. You have become his best helper and best defender. Why do you help him like this? , even if he puts your life and death at risk in order to achieve his goal, are you still defending him?"
"I didn't!" Ren Yi suddenly roared, "I want to know what he is thinking and what he is doing more than you!"
He wanted to know how true and false Gong Yingxian was. He wanted to know whether everything he believed in before was just an illusion. He wanted to know whether Gong Yingxian really only used him. !
