"Recently, when the police in Guangzhou were chasing and solving a major criminal case, they exchanged fire with criminals on the high seas, resulting in a large number of casualties. The number of casualties has now reached 43, and 4 others are missing. This case..."
That's what's playing on the radio.
It was already the third day after the naval battle.
Xie Qingcheng fulfilled the dream related to the amusement park for three consecutive days.
In the dream, as before, he was trapped in the rag doll bear, standing blankly, holding a colorful ball in his hand, watching a person walking down the Ferris wheel.
His parents, Lao Qin, Xie Xue...
The Ferris wheel turned, turned, and finally stopped slowly, and the laughter and light sources around it also dimmed. From the stationary Ferris wheel, a familiar figure came down.
He Yu came to him, with a look similar to sadness, stopped and looked at Xie Qingcheng without saying a word.
Then he said, "Brother, why are you cheating on me?"
"… "
Xie Qingcheng wanted to talk to him, but there was no sound coming out of his throat.
The boy just looked at him like that: "I really like you. Such a clumsy lie, only I will be fooled because I care too much about you... But you lied to me."
"… you lied to me."
"… "
"Brother Xie, I'm leaving now."
"… "
"I'm going far away and never come back."
"… "
"I have been in this world for 20 years and worked hard for 20 years. In the end, I still haven't gotten the sincerity of even one person. I really failed."
"Xie Qingcheng... I'm leaving, before I leave, can you... "
He stopped suddenly. He didn't say any more, there was blood in his eyes, and he looked very sad and hated.
The young man did not make any more demands on the man, nor did he come forward to hug the tattered bear puppet. He just stared at him silently, the neon lights of the playground flickering strangely behind him.
- Can you hug me
This sentence he had said many times, this time, he did not say it again.
He was silent, he used all his life and energy to love someone, to win someone's love, but still could not get any response.
The flame on the tail of the little fire dragon finally burned to the point where the lamp was dead, and he could no longer piece together some strength from his body to ask for one last hug of the same kind.
He took a deep look at him at last, turned around, and walked alone on the road where Xie Qingcheng's parents and Qin Ciyan left. The figure gradually drifted away... until it disappeared...
Xie Qingcheng wanted to call his name and ask him to stop, but he couldn't make a sound... He couldn't say anything...
He Yu…
He Yu! ! !
"Hey!"
Xie Qingcheng woke up suddenly!
He sat up from the bed, his chest heaving rapidly.
What catches the eye is a paleness.
At this moment, he is not at his own house. Xie Qingcheng has not come home for the past few days. He is at the public security side, where there is a place for temporary cooperators to rest.
The radio on the table was still ringing, detailing the naval battle three days ago—
That was the first confrontation between the police and Duan Wen's men. No one thought that Duan Wen's weapons would be so advanced. When the police landed on the He's ship and were about to arrest the suspect He Yu, the Mandela completed its deployment in the warehouse and suddenly turned back. The military/police on the ship launched a suicide/suicide attack.
In an instant, the already clear battle situation was completely reversed, rain of blood, smoke of gunpowder, corpses...
The entire sea has lost its calm, and the sea has been stained bright red with blood.
Chen slow was not dead, but was seriously injured.
During the search and rescue, the Marine Police reinforcements found him lying in the rubble of the warehouse. The warehouse should have been directly attacked by some kind of weapon, and it had completely collapsed. They were already dead, and some were still burning when the rescue arrived, almost to the point of being burned, and even the corpses were unrecognizable.
Such a tragic incident has aroused nationwide attention, and it has directly risen to a major criminal case. The He Group was thoroughly investigated, and all relevant personnel were interrogated in accordance with the law. All the companies, real estate, and real estate under the He's name were banned by the heavy police overnight. The He's old house was dug three feet into the ground to search for evidence.
The matter has gotten so big that many things can no longer be kept secret. Xie Qingcheng doesn't know how many secrets the police have known, and he has no time to manage it. These days, he has been cooperating with the investigation, looking at the identities of the deceased one after another. It was confirmed that his heart was very numb, and perhaps it was because of this that he had the nightmare just now.
Xie Qingcheng stretched out his hand tremblingly, trying his best to calm himself down.
"Dong dong." There was a knock on the door.
Xie Qingcheng: "...Please come in."
The person who came in was Wei Er.
There were many police officers behind Wei Er, the light in the room was very dim, and Xie Qingcheng didn't wear glasses, so he couldn't see what their expressions were at the moment.
But he could feel an unusual aura, extremely depressed and weird, as if all the people who came were worried that he would go crazy and lose his mind.
Xie Qingcheng had a vague premonition of something, his heart palpitated, and he was sweating profusely.
"… what's wrong," he asked.
Wei Er came in and sat down beside his bed with a portfolio in his hand.
"I have two pieces of news, one that you don't want to hear, and the other that someone doesn't want to tell you. But I think you must know." Wei Er said, "This case is too big, It is too big to accommodate any personal emotion. Everything must be based on the overall situation, and before this overall situation, there is no longer whether you want to or not, whether you want to hear it or not. Can you understand what I mean?"
He seemed to be trying his best to make some psychological preparations for Xie Qingcheng, and wanted to explain the truth to him first.
Xie Qingcheng: "you tell me what I don't want to hear first."
Wei Er was silent for a few seconds and said, "A new batch of naval battle death lists have been confirmed today."
"… "
"He's in there."
"… "
Who is he? Who is on the list
Wei Er didn't say it, as if he was sure that Xie Qingcheng would know.
"he died."
"… "
Wei Er stared at Xie Qingcheng's face.
"… "
"He Yu is dead."
"… "
Still silent. Quiet enough to hear the needle drop.
Time passed by minute by minute... Xie Qingcheng's morbid face showed no expression at all, as if he had never had a heart, and even a heavy stone would not cause him any disturbance.
He didn't lose his temper.
No shock.
Even... even... no reaction at all, terribly calm.
No one could see his heart.
"..." Wei Er was slightly startled, so he tried and continued, "The ship is completely in ruins. The forensic doctor has detected a severed limb, which is his after DNA comparison. Among the survivors rescued today, there are also people. To corroborate this, he said that he saw He Yu was directly hit by an explosion/explosive/object at the time. It is certain that he was dead."
Xie Qingcheng's eyelashes remained motionless, hanging there.
Wei Er: "... Xie Qingcheng, are you all right?"
Actually... is this result unexpected
Not surprisingly, the survivors were almost rescued on the first day, and there were only one or two survivors from time to time in the next two days. In addition, news of death came one after another.
Xie Qingcheng seemed to see the neon lights of the amusement park flashing in front of him.
He's not at all… not surprised.
Not at all surprising...
The young man in the dream had a sad look as if he was in front of him. The young man said to him:
"I have been in this world for 20 years and worked hard for 20 years. In the end, I still haven't gotten the sincerity of even a single person. I really failed."
"Xie Qingcheng... I'm leaving, before I leave, can you... "
Is it a dream
Or is there really a soul in this world
He complained that he lied to him, and was unwilling to leave without a good word, so he came to his dream? tonight? Before Wei Er came to find him
heartbroken.
Wei Er: "Xie Qingcheng?"
"…It's fine. I'm fine."
After a long time, Xie Qingcheng was almost stiff and dumb: "The second thing, what is it. Tell me."
Wei Er's expression became more difficult to understand, he hesitated for a moment, and handed the file to Xie Qingcheng: "This is what the police found when they searched the old house of the He family. Just see for yourself."
Xie Qingcheng opened the portfolio, which contained some materials and a copy of—
suicide note.
He Yu's suicide note.
But it is very strange that the suicide note was not written to any individual. The beginning of the suicide note turned out to be: Dear police officers and comrades...
Xie Qingcheng's hand trembled slightly, and he tried his best to stabilize himself.
His face was pale, his fingers were sunken, and his fingernails were pierced into flesh. He took the suicide note and read it slowly, page by page.
The suicide note is very long, but it hardly explains any personal funeral. It is more like a note to help the police investigate the case and explain the whole story.
He Yu wrote in the letter: "Actually, I don't want this suicide note to really come in handy, because I'm only twenty years old, I have someone I like, and I don't want to die yet. But there are some things I have to do. Do it, some people have waited too long for a truth, and I finally have this opportunity to get close, so I can only take risks."
He Yu's handwriting is very delicate, not as rigid as Xie Qingcheng, but he has his own character in it.
"As we all know, my father, He Jiwei, died of illness not long ago. He suffered from depression, took paraquat, his lungs gradually became fibrotic, he endured extreme pain, and then passed away. Almost everyone thinks that he suffered from This kind of mental illness is because the pressure of the company is too great, and he can’t support it, even Lu Zhishu, who has been sleeping with him for 20 years, thinks so.”
"But the truth of the matter, it's not really like that."
"After my father was rescued, he lived for another seven days. During those seven days, we had a chance to be alone. He was very sober and determined to tell me a past event he had investigated. He knew how many times the past event had been. For months, he has been tormented by this, and even ashamed to face it."
"And this incident that tortured him to death has something to do with my mother."
"My mother, Lu Zhishu, studied in my father's laboratory more than 20 years ago. At that time, the two of them were very young, but they had already decided that each other was the love of their life, and they soon had me. At that time, they Not even officially married yet. Later, when my mother was staring at the lab, an accident happened…”
Xie Qingcheng turned down a page. In his suicide note, He Yu briefly explained his experience of suffering from mental Ebola disease, and how his mother, in order to protect herself, went from a gentle and kind-hearted woman to receiving drugs because of drug treatment. The impact of side effects, how to become unrecognizable.
—
"My father thought at the time that she had been stimulated too much, and the gradual distortion of her appearance made her feel remorse and fear, she had been treated too much differently from before, plus postpartum anxiety and depression, this happened. Big change... So he forgives all her oddities. He even persuaded me once to try and take her well."
"But he was not without doubts in his heart, and that doubts piled up year after year, and he sensed her strangeness in the details of his life. Finally, he became determined to investigate her secrets."
"The truth revealed by the investigation... made him collapse in an instant, because he finally knew that the woman who had been by his side for 20 years, this Lu Zhishu, was not the one who fell in love with him in the first place! She was not Endure the pain to protect their child, the woman who gave birth to me. She is not."
"This 'Lu Zhi Shu' is fake. Her real name is 'Wei Rong'."
"!!" Xie Qingcheng's pupils suddenly closed, and the hand holding the letter was trembling slightly.
The appalling truth still unfolds silently on the paper:
"More than 20 years ago, Wei Rong loved my father very much. She believed that she was from a wealthy family and believed that a young and promising entrepreneur like my father would definitely choose to accompany her for life. She confidently told him Confession, but I didn't expect to be rejected by my father."
"My father told Wei Rong that he was already dating Vivian (my mother, the English name of the real Lu Zhishu) who was with the research institute, and that Vivian already had his child. Although he was too young to get a certificate, he had already After negotiating with her, they will keep the child and get married when the father is of legal age."
"My father didn't know at the time that Wei Rong would hate my mother so much because of this—she looked down on her, she thought my mother was just an ordinary student, and she confuses many people with her beauty. She hated her kindness and innocence. And after learning that my father and her were actually married, Wei Rong's heart was completely swallowed by jealousy."
"We have no way of knowing now whether Wei Rong tried to save her soul at that time. She agreed to a family marriage soon after, married the husband her parents arranged for her, and even invited my parents to come. At her wedding, my parents had absolutely no concerns about her. Maybe this marriage was her attempt to find her own life, or maybe it was just a disguise, no one knew."
The handwriting on the stationery was here, slightly distorted, and the strokes of a few words cut through the paper. It is self-evident how He Yu was feeling when he wrote this paragraph.
"Not long after, my mother was accidentally infected when she went to her laboratory. It seems that this incident was designed by Wei Rong."
"Because of being infected with this virus, my mother suffered a lot, but she refused to give up my life. At that time, she had a female intuition and realized that Wei Rong wanted to harm her, but unfortunately she did not have any evidence. She told people about it, and people thought she was too anxious, even her father was just trying to appease her and didn't believe that anyone would dare to break the law in broad daylight."
"The mother was very anxious and fled from Shanghai, and wanted to go to a place where no one could easily find her and give birth to the child. She really had some psychological problems at that time. She was so reckless and ran alone. When she arrived in Yanzhou, she didn't know where she lived, she didn't even have enough money, and she tried desperately to avoid those who tried to find her, hurt the child in her womb, made herself tired, hungry, dirty, and had a fever. … When she had nowhere to go, she met two policemen working in Yangong.”
Xie Qingcheng suddenly saw two familiar names—
"Xie Ping, Zhou Muying."
He Yu wrote these words stroke by stroke, and the handwriting was more correct than the previous ones.
"I mention the names of these two police officers here in the hope that after my death, you will be able to use the evidence in your hands to carefully investigate the past. The person who can correct their name and overturn the case. Yes, I am here to identify, Xie Ping, Zhou Muying, and my biological mother Vivian, who designed to frame them to death, is the vice president of the He Group - Lu Zhishu. , Wei Rong!"
