eighteen years ago...
The knife was stuck in the left chest, on the main artery closest to Chen Jianting's heart, and the bleeding speed was faster than the disappearance of thoughts. When Chen Jianting lowered his head, blood gushed out from his chest, and when he looked up, he saw an immature but hideous face At that time, he should have a feeling of regret, and a minute of arrogance at the price of death will only give him this feeling.
In a few seconds, he crashed to the ground, twitching, his whole body arched like a shrimp. Where he lay down, a pool of blood quickly gathered.
Wu Xiaolei was dumbfounded. After being angry and happy, seeing death was so shocking, his mind went blank, he stayed where he was, watching the convulsions getting weaker and weaker, and seeing the pool of blood getting bigger and bigger, his whole body trembled , the hand holding the knife kept shaking, and it clicked off; he saw the crowd in chaos, and he heard the shouts one after another, and at this moment, it seemed that the soul was out of the shell, the body did not belong to him, and his mind fell into a dark place. In the black hole of fear and fear, all struggles are futile.
"Go...Xiao Wu." Someone was pulling him, it was Liu Jizu who was kicked on the ground and got up.
He was still in a daze, Liu Jizu pulled and dragged, and after walking a few steps, he regained his composure, and followed Liu Jizu into the small alley of the Food Bureau, climbed the alley that was as tall as a person, and then into the backyard of the department store. It got out from under the isolation net of the side door and went to the edge of the river dam outside the street. The two little friends ran, ran, ran down the river bank, crossed the small river, and almost lost their direction at night, they ran into the orchard on Bifeng Mountain.
The Artemisia bushes as tall as a person and the continuous fruit trees are natural barriers. It is the first choice for a group of friends to play when they skip class. The two of them got into the grass, gasping for breath, only feeling that their throats were hot, and the wine they drank turned into cold sweat, and their backs and chests were wet.
"What to do? I killed someone, I killed someone..." Sitting in the grass, Wu Xiaolei repeated hysterically. After a while, I got up all of a sudden: "I have to go home, what should I do?"
"Don't...don't go back, murder pays for life, you will be shot." Liu Jizu was anxious, hugged him, and pushed him into the grass.
At this time, when he heard the sound of police sirens piercing the night sky, Wu Xiaolei's spirit that had just been gathered was weakened for a moment. He pulled Liu Jizu, trembling: "What should I do? I killed someone, what should I do? The police are going to shoot me, What should I do... I can't go back, what can I do?"
Trembling and crying, he thought of the scene of Nanhetan shooting prisoners every year, and the scene of all tied up and death cards became the only image in his mind at this time. He wept uncontrollably, holding Liu Jizu tightly, as if he was afraid that the last friend would disappear.
"Run... run as far away as you can see across the world, run to a place where the police can't find..." Liu Jizu persuaded, it is better to run away than to be arrested.
"How do I run? I..." Wu Xiaolei lost his mind, and in the darkness, there was fear in his voice.
"Wait a minute... just stay here and don't move. I'll find you some dry food... and money... just wait..."
Liu Jizu comforted his little friend. He remembered that the plots of running away in Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas are all done like this. The whole money is sent to the brother on the road, and he will kill him one day.
Comforting Wu Xiaolei, Liu Jizu went down the short hill in the dark. He didn't dare to go to the scene of the crime, and ran to Wu Xiaolei's house quietly, but a police car parked in front of the door scared him so much that he didn't dare to show his face in the alley, so he went back When I got home, I took out the change I usually saved, and some money from the pockets of my parents who were already asleep. I took two boxes of pastries that were about to expire, packed them into bags, and went back to the mountain in the dark.
Dry food, two packs of pastries.
Money, a total of 85 yuan.
He stuffed all his brains into Wu Xiaolei's hands, and said what he had seen and heard in horror, don't go back, the police have taken your parents away, maybe they have already started looking for me. Go away quickly, if you go far away, if you are caught by the police, you will definitely be shot.
"Jizu, then you... you must take care of my parents, and my grandma, my grandma is the closest to me... I, I..." Wu Xiaolei broke down in tears and wiped his tears.
"I see, don't cry, now is not the time to cry... let's go, I don't want to watch you die." Liu Jizu couldn't help it all at once.
The two little friends hugged each other and cried, one was reluctant to leave, the other chased him away, Yiyi shed tears to bid farewell, Wu Xiaolei looked back at the county town where he was born and grew up, wiped his tears, cried, and disappeared into the night inside.
Since that night, it has been eighteen years since I left.
It wasn't until dawn that night that the criminal police team found Liu Jizu, who was trembling under the pier of the county town, and was brought into the criminal police team. He spoke incoherently, trembling all over, and bluffed at the criminal police who occasionally slapped the table, so frightened that he lost control of his urine several times. This cowardly act dispelled the criminal policeman's suspicion of him, and he successfully concealed the truth from those criminal policemen who were devastated by the murder case.
The money was stolen from the family. After the family knew the truth, they didn't dare to ask their son.
A year later, Liu Jizu's desire to be a soldier failed the political review because of this matter, so he left Qinyuan and studied in a chef class in Taiyuan City. After graduation, he worked in the provincial capital as a master chef.
Six years later, he married a waiter in the restaurant. The two had been working part-time in the provincial capital to make ends meet, so they planned to return to their hometown to open a small restaurant with their skills.
After more than two years, this wish was finally realized, but money was tight, and I couldn't afford a decent facade in the county. At this time, the couple of the Wu family whom he visited during the holidays showed up. Li Huilan and Wu Xiangqian approached him and borrowed money from him to open the shop.
Thirty thousand yuan was a huge sum of money at the time. With this money, the couple finally opened a decent restaurant, which has gone through ups and downs until today. During the period, he was summoned by the police many times, but no one doubted this coward that even his wife was afraid of.
…
This is all Liu Jizu's confession. He asked several times throughout the night, and he remembered every detail clearly. He knew that he couldn't hide it anymore. The recording was hidden in the money box, but after he said it, he had a relieved expression. Maybe this big stone had been in his heart for long enough.
In the picture, Liu Jizu in the interrogation room was frozen, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a resolute expression. If he wasn't so fat, he must be a handsome man.
Yu Zui rested his feet on the table and looked at the cover-up suspect as if he had settled down. Next to him was a pile of open case files, bloody photos, and the murder weapon, as if he had been brought back to eighteen years ago. After experiencing that heart-piercing night once, how many people's lives were changed that night.
Meng Qingchao and Zhang Suwen from Taiyuan, the constant door-to-door investigations ruined their normal life. Even Liu Jizu, who seems to be a good man, has suffered a lot of psychological pressure these years. After he confessed, facing the impending prison disaster, he had an expression of relief instead.
Even if this person is not worthy of sympathy, the other people, on the cross street, the retired parents who are still working hard to earn money; Did not see the grandson back.
How many people need to pay for a sinful crime
Yu Zui regretted taking this case a little bit, he didn't know how many more things to torture his conscience would be.
Suddenly, the door rang, Yuan Liang pushed the door open and entered, the room smelled of smoke, he hummed, opened the door and window, and asked Yu Zui if he hadn't slept all night? Yu Zui also asked back, but he didn't sleep all night.
Then another man came in, a square-faced man with a high salary and a police uniform. Yu Zui looked familiar, and his thoughts suddenly disappeared from the case. He was very familiar but didn't remember it. coming."
"Oh..." Yu Zui retracted his legs in a panic, stood up, and saluted. Unexpectedly, he was thinking wildly that night, his clothes were rubbed, and the opening of his trousers was still open. Director Gu laughed out loud, and shook hands without hesitation. Thinking about it, you can dig out the clues that have been buried for so long."
"It's a bit of luck, but the value is still not big enough." Yu Zui said modestly.
It's not big enough, it can only prove that he assisted in the escape, but it can't prove that he was hiding and hiding, and he didn't know the whereabouts of the suspect, but Director Gu didn't mind and said: "Skynet is fully restored, and it's not leaking. There will always be times when he is caught." ... I don't think this time will be very long. How about it, Director Yu, you are the one to handle this case. The county criminal police team will fully cooperate and inter-provincial coordination is needed. The bureau will help you to come forward. As long as he can be arrested, I will personally ask for credit for you."
Originally, the matter of revealing the list of heroes was treated coldly in the county. No one in this small temple in the county expected to have a real Buddha, at most there was a joke like Li Yifeng. But yesterday, an important insider was suddenly found out, which suddenly rekindled the hope of the leadership of the county bureau to solve the case.
Seeing the leader's expectant eyes, Yu Zui felt embarrassed instead, he said awkwardly: "Director Gu, this case has been buried for too long, I really dare not guarantee it."
"Humility... is not a virtue in our line of work. I got angry with instructor Wang Bin, and he strongly recommended you. This case has been pressing us for a long time, so you don't have to consider other factors. I'll take care of anything." Gu The director patted the young man on the shoulder in the usual way of encouragement.
"I'll do my best." Yu Zui said with a smile.
"It's not about doing your best, it's about having to." Director Gu emphasized.
"This is too difficult." Yu Zui was a little panicked.
"It's because of the difficulty that you prove your excellence." Chief Gu said, emphasizing his tone: "I repeat, you must, no matter what, you must be brought to justice."
"This... is really too difficult..." Yu Zui was still hesitating.
Yuan Liang sneered, and Director Gu also realized that he was a bit domineering in an instant. He laughed, embraced Yu Zui, encouraged and encouraged him, went around, and tried his best to pay Yu Zui back.
Sending the director downstairs, the young director seemed to be very optimistic about Yu Zui, and he praised Yu Zui without hesitation. Yu Zui couldn't stand such a thick skin. Fortunately, there is someone thicker than him. Li Yifeng was already waiting for the bureau leader in front of the car. He stood respectfully in front of the chief's car and snatched the driver's door opening job. As soon as Chief Gu came up, he opened the door and saluted , and then roared sonorously: "Don't worry, Director Gu, we will overcome all difficulties, not be afraid of sacrifice, and bring the murderer to justice!"
Oh my god, Director Gu was taken aback. Seeing Li Yifeng smiled, his expression changed, and he pointed at Li Yifeng and said, "This is how the reserve cadres of our county bureau should look like... Thank you for your hard work, Yifeng."
"Don't work hard, solve problems for the superiors, and share the worries for the leaders." Li Yifeng opened the car door, flattering to the point of nakedness.
Director Gu got into the car with a big smile and left. As soon as he left, Yuan Liang's suppressed smile burst out, his brows and eyes were wide open, Yu Zui pursed his lips and smiled, but Li Yifeng smiled smugly. Er ran up and asked Yu Zui, "Director, what should we do next?"
"Aren't you going to share the leader's worries? You ask me?" Yu Zui looked at him dissatisfied.
"Tsk tsk, your attitude is wrong. The purpose of your work is mainly for the leaders to see. If the leaders can't see it, why do you have the strength to do it? Right, Captain Yuan...Hey, director, don't leave, what should I do? Nirvana? Director Gu has already said that I will soon be included in the list of reserve cadres. With my party, military and service years, I am definitely a young and promising cadre... hey, don’t leave.”
Li Yifeng chased after him, and Yuan Liang watched with a smile on the spot. He reckoned that with such a guy chasing him more than a dozen times a day, the case would have to continue.
After a while, Yu Zui came out of the building, followed by Li Yifeng carrying a box, he was going to deliver "props", Yuan Liang waved his hand and sent the two away.
…
After getting up, washing, and folding the quilt neatly, Wang Shenxiu rubbed his eyes and looked out of the window from time to time. He didn't sleep well all night and had nightmares again.
The task of seducing the young woman was successfully completed, but he was a little uncomfortable. He kept thinking about Yuan Xiangshan's appearance, maybe he didn't become a policeman, and his heart was really not that solid, so he couldn't bear this kind of trouble.
When he was washing his face for the third time, he heard the sound of a horn. He packed up his belongings and went downstairs. Yu Zui was already waiting at the front desk. After paying the bill, he got into the car. Yu Zui gave him the props intact. I want to emphasize that you don’t need to return the bag, let’s put money in it for you.
The bag was specially processed, and there was a wiretapped recording in the interlayer, but it must have been taken. Wang Shenxiu ignored this, and Yu Zui looked at the traitor brother's expression a little sluggish, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with the traitor? Why do you use such melancholy eyes?" look at me?"
"Just being seduced, and not going to bed, can you not be depressed?" Li Yifeng said it for him, Wang Shenxiu's eyes bulged out of anger, Yu Zui told him to get out, Li Yifeng saw that Yu Zui was angry, and hurried back to the car.
It seemed that there was something to say, and Wang Shenxiu spit it out after he left, and said to Yu Zui earnestly, "Yu Er, why can't you be a good policeman and insist on dealing with cases and suspects in such a contradictory and entangled way? "
"Is there?!" Yu Zui was stunned for a moment, not knowing why.
"Look, Wu Xiaolei's murder is an unforgivable crime; Liu Jizu deserves to be punished for harboring him; but after thinking about it, I shouldn't have done this. His wife and children are innocent. It's really fucking unreasonable to start this matter from his family." Wang Shenxiu said that he had done it and knew the consequences, so he felt very unreasonable, and he knew about the case last night, and felt that the insider could be forgiven.
"You really don't feel pain in your back while sitting and talking. How do you think you can break through the suspect's psychological defense, relying on being coquettish or handsome? There is never any means in this contest." Yu Zui said.
"You justify yourself like this, which only proves that you, a policeman, have a dark heart and despicable behavior." Wang Shenxiu was a little bit resentful, and blamed all the remaining crimes.
"You are wrong. If they are innocent, this will only be a farce. The reason why it is a tragedy now is because he planted a curse... We just put money in front of her. Do you think this matter has no bottom line?" Yu Zui said, as long as the good guys are not wronged, no one in the police would mind pretending to be a bad guy.
"Forget it, I won't argue with you anymore." Wang Shenxiu twisted the key and was about to leave.
"I didn't argue with you. There are many suspects worthy of sympathy. You have only seen a few. Thank you, brother." Yu Zui said, "click" opened the car door, and looked back at Wang Shenxiu. From a poor student to a small boss with a prosperous shop, the strangeness of this may be more difficult to solve than the case. A thought flashed through Yu Zui, and he asked suddenly: "You are so disgusted, why did you agree to do it? It's not just because you didn't become a policeman, you want to try it?"
"I said I want to help you, maybe I will need you sometime, do you believe me?" Wang Shenxiu said calmly without turning his head.
"If you don't believe me, if you don't help me, you won't be polite when it's time to find me." Yu Zui said.
"Then what's the reason?" Wang Shenxiu said, looking back at Yu Zui who was about to get off the car.
The moment they met each other, Yu Zui smiled and said with a smile: "That's because you also feel that the murderer should be punished by law, no matter how extenuating he is, traitor, you don't look like a profiteer... I doubt what you are doing There's a problem, no matter how handsome your face is, it won't be so handsome that you can change it back to a prosperous shop? It won't change so much that you don't have any contact with your classmates in the city, right? Let's go There won’t be any tricks in the recruiting team in Guangzhou.”
"Get out!" Wang Shenxiu turned his head and stepped on the gas pedal.
Yu Zui glanced suspiciously, and slammed on the car door, Wang Shenxiu directional, and left straight away, the filmed car window couldn't see the facial expression, but it cast an opaque layer on Yu Zui's heart.
"Boss, what's the matter, brother Wang is not happy." Li Yifeng approached again.
"It's okay, just seduced and didn't go to bed, can you not be depressed? By the way, don't look for him in the future, and don't look for him in the city." Yu Zui said with a smile, hiding his true expression in the blink of an eye.
"Why? I'm trying to be friends with this local tyrant?" Li Yifeng asked in puzzlement.
"Tsk, listen to my brother, that's right... There is something wrong with his sexual orientation. He hinted at me just now. He said he likes you a little bit. Let me tell you in private. Can I go back to the city and take you with me, as long as you want, He took care of you... Do you know what that means?" Yu Zui came up with a low nature, and casually gave a disgusting reason, Li Yifeng was covered in pockmarks, shook his head hurriedly, and said nervously, "Oh, sir, you didn't say it earlier, it's disgusting to death . I don't mind dedicating myself to a career, but I can't lose my life to a man.
Frightened Li Yifeng away, Yu Zui drove back to the criminal police team, his mind was a little distracted, the more he thought about it, the more chaotic, the past came like a tide, although he couldn't be sure, but he didn't know why, but he had a deep worry...
