When Xie Lanshan went to see Captain Lao Tao, Captain Xiao Tao in the city bureau received a notice from the province and immediately arrested Xie Lanshan. Once he resisted arrest, he was allowed to shoot him on the spot.

This is an operation that requires guns. The City Bureau's bullets are managed separately, and the serious crime team has to go to the equipment warehouse to fetch it.

Xiaoliang followed Tao Longyue to fetch the gun, muttering in his heart along the way. After graduation, he came to the city bureau to work. He was transferred to the major crime team because of his outstanding performance. Although he solved major cases such as murder and drug trafficking, there were not many opportunities to use a gun on weekdays. The most recent one was to hunt down Qiao Hui a few months ago, but after all, he was facing a vicious serial perverted killer. So until he found the real gun, he didn't believe that the arrest was going to be accompanied by a gun, so he was stunned, and decided to ask Tao Longyue: "Tao team, what is this for? Aren't we going to ask Senior Brother Xie to come back to ask questions, what is the match? Gun?"

"Do you think I want to bring a gun?" Tao Longyue's face was ashen, as if he had been painted with a layer of indigo ink. "As mentioned above, if you resist arrest, you will be warned. If you don't listen to the warning, you will be shot."

"Ah? Hit... kill? But he's not... not exactly the murderer?" Xiao Liang was shocked. Legally speaking, if a death row prisoner with serious social harm escapes from prison and resists arrest, it should be shot to death. But in the end, he is a comrade-in-arms who has worked together for three years. Although Xiaoliang's feelings when he sees Xie Lanshan are a bit complicated, he does not want him to die in front of his eyes.

Seeming to dislike Xiao Liang's noise, Tao Long Yuehu frowned, no longer uttering a word, but solemnly loading his own gun with ammunition. The police type 92 has a much more beautiful appearance than the outdated Type 54. The sound of the warning shot is louder, and the bullets are more powerful. In short, it is very suitable for front-line police. Tao Longyue still remembered how excited he was when he had just put on a new gun, a hero had to be equipped with a weapon in his hand, and Yang Guo, who didn't have a black iron sword, couldn't be more handsome. But he never thought that one day he would point this gun at his iron porcelain, Xie Lanshan.

In the attic of the Tao family's old house, the dim yellow light was like a rain of rain. Both of them were immersed in the rain.

The old criminal policeman stood up straight, raised his head slightly, and looked at the boy he had brought up with one hand. For the first time, he realized that the other party was already an adult man. He was handsome and fierce, and his deep facial features and sharp eyes were full of strength.

Then, Tao Jun sighed, took a step towards Xie Lanshan, and nodded very calmly: "I knew back then that you would come and ask me one day."

Is this an admission? Xie Lanshan was taken aback, he was prepared for the opponent to die.

Although his heart was stinging like a bee sting, this suspicion has been around for a long time, and he can still force himself not to fall. Xie Lanshan no longer hides it, and asks straight to the point: "So you are a disciple?"

Tao Jun shook his head, his cloudy old eyes looked very sincere: "No, I'm not a disciple."

Xie Lanshan squinted his eyes in distrust, and asked again, "Could it be Liu Yanbo?"

Tao Jun shook his head again: "It's not Lao Liu either."

"Who else could that be?" Xie Lanshan's thoughts were blocked for a while, but it took him a while to react. He was dumbfounded and incoherent, "You, you... you mean... you mean my father?"

Tao Jun sighed again and confessed everything: "Lao Xie is a disciple, and I fired a shot behind him back then."

"You lied to me!" The script was completely different from what he imagined. Xie Lanshan couldn't accept the fact. He trembled violently, and even a handsome face twisted weirdly. But I thought, "Impossible... My dad can't be a disciple!"

"At that time, Lao Liu and I found out that Lao Xie was a disciple. Lao Liu was fighting with him, and other drug dealers wanted to intervene. The situation was too critical, so I shot him in the back..." Tao Jun said. With a sad look, he shook his head again and again, "Before he died, he told me that he was confused for a while, that your mother was wronged by marrying him, and he wanted her and you to live a better life..."

Recalling it carefully, it seems that before Lao Xie's accident, the situation at home has indeed improved. Gao Zhuyin's face is less resentful and more joyful. Lao Xie said that it was a bonus for meritorious service, but he didn't realize it until he also made meritorious deeds. , where did so many bonuses come from

"After all, we are brothers who have been born and died together for so many years. We can't bear to have his reputation ruined in one go, and he will be called a 'traitor' when he dies. I don't want to make your mother sad, let alone make you lose your faith and friendship. role model, so we decided to hide the truth as if he was killed in the anti-drug mission..."

Xie Lanshan didn't speak, even motionless, without blinking. His soul has been separated from his body, and he is left with an empty skin and a walking corpse.

"Director Peng also knows about this. We will give him some evidence when we come back. If you don't believe it, you can ask him..." Tao Jun added, "I have always regretted shooting your father. After all, he once He is my best brother... Your mother has a mental problem over your father's affairs, so I have always been under heavy psychological pressure for this. Later, I crashed a car while performing a mission, and I fell back to the second line because of this. "

This is the old criminal policeman Zhu Mingwu's evaluation of him, "irreparable, hurting others and hurting yourself"

"You lied to me... You lied to me... My dad always taught me to be a good man and a good policeman, he wouldn't... He couldn't be a disciple..." All his beliefs collapsed at this moment. Although Xie Lanshan was still standing in front of this man, he knew that if he moved, he would be shattered and weathered. He shook his head mechanically and repeatedly, muttering words in his mouth, "Because he died, you poured sewage on him, ruined his innocence, and put all the faults on him..."

In an instant, that terrifying headache broke out again. He was shaking like a sieve, and he began to hallucinate and hear auditory hallucinations. His eyes were full of shaking figures, and his ears were full of sharp noises. Xie Lanshan held the head that was about to explode with both hands, and then roared out from the depths of his heart, making a terrible, desperate and completely inhuman cry.

Then he picked up the fruit knife on the cabinet, slammed Tao Jun against the wall with all his might, and pressed the knife against his neck. His eyes were blood red, and his expression was ferocious, and he fought in vain for the last time: "Quickly say that you lied to me! Quickly say that my dad is a good man!"

Tao Longyue rushed to the attic with someone at this time. He was shocked by the sight in front of him and immediately fired a warning shot. After a violent explosion, he yelled at Xie Lanshan: "Xie Lanshan, put down the knife!"

"You don't know what's going on... Your dad is a dirty liar..." Xie Lanshan turned his face towards Tao Long, and the sharp blade in his hand pressed against Tao Jun even harder, pulling a bloody cut on his neck. " He lied to me, lied to you, lied to everyone—"

"Bang" and the gun went off.

Tao Longyue really didn't think about hurting Xie Lanshan, but he couldn't let the other party attack his own father, so he decided to shoot, not to hit the key points, but to wipe the flesh.

However, shooting at such a close range, even if the bullet just swiped across the shoulder, the high temperature still scorched Xie Lanshan's shirt, and the powerful impulse ripped off a large piece of his flesh, almost to the bone.

The sharp knife in his hand fell to the ground, and the violent vibration of his arm and chest almost made him unsteady, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Xie Lanshan clutched his bloody shoulders, his mouth full of sweet and greasy smell, and looked at Tao Longyue in shock, as if he didn't expect the other party to shoot him.

He still remembered how he cut off ten nails and rescued the boy from the rubble of the earthquake. The other party cried and swore that he would be his good brother for the rest of his life.

Soon, he realized that these are just memories stored in the cerebral cortex, not his memories.

The dark muzzles of the guns were all facing him, Xie Lanshan let go of Tao Jun, wiped his face with his bloody hands, and then quietly watched Tao Longyue and everyone.

His eyes were completely crazy just now, but at this moment, it was strangely quiet, which made people shudder.

From the moment he knew about this ridiculous operation, he tried his best to guard the bottom line of that kindness. Humans are born with original sin. Religion says that human beings are separated from God at birth, Darwin said that the fittest survives, a sperm can only get the chance to escape from the mother's womb after killing thousands of compatriots, so human nature is complicated and dark, climbing up is so difficult, falling down is unusual It's easy, so his persistence is very hard and very painful.

However, at this moment, he finally understood that it was too painful to be Xie Lanshan, and it was too painful to be a good person, and when he no longer adhered to that illusory bottom line, all the pain would be resolved in an instant.

After such extreme pain as drowning, he felt that he had broken free from his mother's umbilical cord and amniotic fluid and was reborn.

After looking at each other for a moment, Tao Longyue found that not only the man's demeanor had changed, but his whole person had also changed. Xie Lanshan's eyes gradually became clearer and enchanting, his eyebrows were full of love and a smile, so charming that he was completely different from the original.

"Captain Tao, officers, are you looking for Ye Shen?" Xie Lanshan raised his blood-stained hands, obviously in a gesture of surrender, but elegantly as if he was on stage preparing to call the audience a curtain call.

Not waiting for the stunned crowd to give an answer, he smiled and said, "I am."
