Although he was fully prepared to get into trouble, Xie Lanshan would never have imagined before returning to China that his world would be turned upside down and changed beyond recognition just after a trip to Thailand.

Because of Kang Tai's initial instigation by email, Peng Ting was outraged, and Liu Mingfang's deliberate dissemination, everyone in the city bureau knew the secret of the transplant operation.

"Sharpshooter" Tu Lang reported to Peng Ting again at this time, saying that Ling Yun completely lost contact after leaving the key information about the traitor.

Xie Lanshan was interrogated until midnight for three consecutive days, saying that he did not enter the judicial process, and just chatted about some issues internally, but the situation was similar to that of three tribunals. The leaders of the bureau, including Liu Yanbo, came. .

They used the bright light used to interrogate prisoners to shine directly into his eyes, and they repeated the two questions over and over again, why did they torture Jinya with such a cruel method? And, where did Ling Yun go

Xie Lanshan wanted to laugh when he heard it. At first, he said something, but then he got really tired of it, so he didn't cooperate on purpose and didn't say a word.

When the leaders asked questions, their expressions were very unpredictable and complicated, and they all avoided mentioning the operation. Because the above has not given instructions on this, and they have no experience in dealing with such absurd events. The ship of Theseus is an eternal philosophical paradox. Who is Xie Lanshan in front of him, and who can unswervingly give the answer

Finally, the leaders were tired, and once again the end of the mid-night inquiry, Xie Lanshan walked out of the city bureau's inquiry room.

There is still light in the office of the serious crime team, Xie Lanshan walked towards the only and thin light source like a firefly.

In front of the water dispenser in the office, Ding Li was making coffee with her mobile phone and flashlight. Girls in the police force usually don't have to work night shifts, but she hid in the lounge to chase American dramas, and she caught up so late without noticing. She knew that the leader was interrogating Xie Lanshan recently, and she left too late. She was afraid that they would ask her why she stayed until this time, so she did everything quietly, and did not dare to open the light generously.

Holding the phone between the creaking nests, Ding Li tore the bag and prepared to make coffee, while humming an out-of-tune classic movie song, twisting her waist and moving her hips, shaking her head.

This is a Cantonese song. Ding Li has no sense of music but has a talent for language. After listening to it a few times, she can sing the words accurately. She was intoxicated by her unpleasant singing voice, completely unaware that a man was quietly approaching her in the darkness.

"Obviously I have worked hard to get on the road every day, and I don't die to live well..."

The brown powder of the instant coffee was poured into the coffee cup. Ding Li was about to press the button to rush into the hot water. She turned her head at will, and suddenly saw the person approaching her. In the panic, she moved her arm, and the phone that was originally clipped fell off.

Xie Lanshan reacted very quickly, bent down and stretched his arms in time, and firmly connected the mobile phone in his hand.

He stood up and wanted to hand the phone back to Ding Li, but after seeing his face clearly, Ding Li let out a harsh scream and took a step back in panic.

This civilian girl already knew that she was not facing her senior brother Xie, but a cruel and perverted murderer. This man not only brutally murdered a family of young and old, but also peeled off part of the human skin of the two female deceased before and after.

Xiao Liang was on duty today. Hearing Ding Li's cry, he rushed out of the duty room and turned on the light. When he saw Xie Lanshan, his footsteps were obviously stagnant, and then he showed an extremely complicated and unpredictable expression.

They all looked at him silently. Xie Lanshan could clearly see the kind of alienation, fear and even disgust in their eyes. This is not the look in the eyes of a comrade-in-arms, or even an ordinary person.

It has been three days since he came back, but it is almost rare to see his colleagues who used to share life and death. Occasionally, he hurried to take a photo at the police station, and those who passed by would hurriedly step up their steps, avoiding him like a plague.

Needless to say, the way these people looked at him explained the situation. His secrets had been discovered, and he had become an anecdote and a laughing stock in people's mouths.

The attitude of the younger brother and the younger sister deeply stabbed Xie Lanshan. His eyes were red with anger, but they were too dry to shed a single tear, and he let out a mocking laugh or two from his throat that was also hoarse from the burn.

Funny enough. He laughs at himself dedicating everything to his mission and beliefs, but these people stuffed him into a monster's body without his permission, forcibly squeezed his last value, and turned his face with this extremely disgusting look. Attitude forced him to die—

one more time.

It's the same Buddhist saying that among all the sufferings, the suffering of the Uninterrupted Hell is the most unbearable.

Xie Lanshan once thought that those years by Mu Kun's side were the limit of all suffering, but it was hard to imagine that one day he would become a monster as loathsome as Mu Kun, and his soul would be trapped in the endless hell forever. The flames burn, and there is no pardon until death.

Stiff and silent for a while, Xiao Liang tried to ease the awkward atmosphere and adjusted his expression hard. He swallowed and said, "Senior Brother Xie, we all believe in you, it must not be the teammate you betrayed."

Unfortunately, it's too fake.

This manipulative emotion hurts more than it is to hide it at all, destroying the last bit of his sanity. Xie Lanshan's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he walked out of the office with his head down.

However, before they went far, he turned back again, blocking the way of the two people in the house.

Ding Li and Xiao Liang stared at each other with frightened eyes. I don’t know if it’s because the city bureau’s lamps are too old. Every time the light above his head flickers erratically, this handsome face becomes more and more hideous. In just a few dozen seconds, the man’s eyes collide. It's completely different from the Xie Lanshan they knew.

"Why is everything I do wrong?! Why do you never believe me?!" The angry question that broke through his throat finally turned into the most mournful plea, Xie Lanshan said with tears, "Please don't... Please don't. see me as a monster..."

The Blue Fox elite gathers together, and the people are fine but not mixed. Although it is a detachment treatment, it is a squadron establishment. Counting the captain Sui Hong, there are 22 people. Now that Lingyun was lost, Sui Hong got permission from Peng Ting and returned to the team.

There was a lot of haze in the provincial hall, and everyone in the blue fox looked sad, and the news of the captain's reinstatement lifted everyone's spirits a little. Without making any other arrangements, Sui Hong first gathered the 20 team members for a meeting, and the first one asked Chi Jin at the meeting, "Shouldn't Lingyun come back with you?"

It's too late for Chi Jin to regret it now. Out of the instinct of self-preservation, it was impossible to see that Sui Hong was disappointed in him, so he had to push the boat along the way and attribute all the mistakes to Xie Lanshan. He calmed down and tried his best not to reveal anything, but said, "We parted ways before going to the airport. He told me that he had something to find out. I asked him the details, and he said he was not sure yet. , and let me not ask and say nothing—"

Tu Lang interjected: "Before A Ling disappeared, we were still talking about games, and he told me the same in his voice."

Sui Hong frowned slightly and fell into thought. Although Ling Yun was the youngest member of the team, he never acted rashly. To make him so hesitant, things must be no trivial matter, and the person he was going to investigate must also be closely related to him, even so close that he couldn't bear to reveal the truth. to the point of. How could this person be Xie Lanshan, who only knew him in general

Seeing Sui Hong's hesitation, Chi Jin's heart was beating like thunder, but his face remained calm. He deliberately asked, "The captain still doesn't believe that Xie Lanshan is a traitor?"

Sui Hong really didn't believe it, so he coughed lightly and said, "A Lan... he's not such a person."

The snake hits seven inches, Xie Lanshan's Achilles heel is his current identity as Ye Shen, Chi Jin raised his voice: "But he is no longer Xie Lanshan! He is a wolf in sheep's clothing, he is a man who has been injected with some The monster remembered by the special police, his current mental state is very dangerous, and he is on the verge of losing control!"

Chi Jin has never dealt with Xie Lanshan, and Sui Hong knows this, so he specifically asked the other two team members who went to Thailand for advice: "Tell me, what did Xie Lanshan do in Thailand?"

One of the team members answered truthfully: "He refused to act with us. He lingered in local porn bars, chatting with strippers, and the sex workers in the entire bar street seemed to be familiar with him."

Another team member continued: "Although the murderer who killed Jinya was finally identified as Han Guangming, Jinya was brutally abused before his death. He suffered multiple fractures all over his body and bruised his internal organs. He was tortured beyond recognition. The jaw was twisted and dislocated."

These words are true. Jinya's autopsy report and body photos were sent to the provincial office by Kangtai, and Xie Lanshan himself also confessed to it.

Tu Lang has been in the team for a long time, and he also had a short-term friendship with Xie Lanshan, he said: "Captain, you always support Xie Lanshan unconditionally, saying that he will always be one of us, but I didn't see it anyway. , where does he still retain even a trace of the temperament of a blue fox."

Sui Hong fell silent again. After a while, he coughed twice and said, "I'm not partial to Xie Lanshan, but Xiaoling has disappeared, and his mobile phone may have fallen into the hands of the enemy. The information he left before his disappearance may not have been sent by him. Thailand What news?"

A Blue Fox team member said: "The local police are still cooperative, but their action is not enough. Although a reward has been offered to collect clues, there is no news at all."

Tu Lang quickly answered: "According to the report, Mu Kun has returned. If Mu Kun is behind all this, then I'm afraid Xiao Ling..."

"I'm not afraid." Sui Hong was firm.

"I mean in case..." Chi Jinxin jumped again and added carefully.

"There's nothing in case." Sui Hong coughed again. He has been very bad recently, but his eyes and tone are very firm when he speaks, "Lanhu people will never betray their comrades in arms, as long as there is a chance, none of them can be missed. !"

"Then Xie Lanshan..." Chi Jin not only felt sorry for the captain's illness, but also regretted what he had done. However, until now, it is difficult to ride a tiger, and he and Xie Lanshan must die.

After thinking about it, he could only bite the bullet and force Sui Hong to express his position again. Chi Jin said: "Peng Ting is already very dissatisfied with Xie Lanshan. At present, the Municipal Bureau is only asking him about the situation and has not taken any compulsory measures. Their Deputy Bureau Liu I keep asking, what should I do with Xie Lanshan?"

An eerie silence. The conference room was brightly lit, but there were shadows on everyone's faces, and the twenty young Blue Fox team members froze and simmered, waiting for an order from their captain.

With a "bang", the conference room was pushed away with a force.

"Captain Sui, I didn't ask you to come back to the team because you were indecisive or a woman's kindness." Peng Huaili was the one who pushed in the door, with sharp eyes and a grim expression, "I heard everything you said just now."

Obviously, he no longer believed that the man with Xie Lanshan's memory was still Xie Lanshan himself. He gave an order to all the team members, his voice was loud and generous, like a banging gong: "You can't let a death row prisoner like Ye Shen escape legal punishment any more, he must be arrested and brought to justice immediately!"

"Peng Ting..." Sui Hong wanted to try to argue for the subordinate he once trusted the most. But when the words came to his mouth, he felt that it was difficult to say, and after all, he swallowed with that trace of doubt. He was not sure whether this person was still Xie Lanshan.

"But..." Chi Jin groaned, then touched his lower lip with his upper lip, and then said what he was thinking, "Ye Shen now has the skills of a special police officer, I am afraid it will not be so easy to get back..."

"Aren't you also special police? Even so many people can't catch him?" Peng Huaili interrupted Chi Jin's words, glanced at Sui Hong again, and ordered sharply, "Protecting the lives and safety of the people is our primary responsibility. Ye Shen should not be obstructed by any personal emotions, Ye Shen is a criminal who seriously endangers social order, and if he resists arrest, he will be shot to death on the spot!"
