After Han Qiang's mistress disappeared for more than three months, many people believed that she had been killed, but the body could not be found temporarily.
But when the police classified her disappearance as a murder case and investigated it, she unexpectedly reappeared the day before the old commander Han's birthday.
She showed up very unexpectedly. Han Yue was staying in the hotel that day, thinking about what to send to the birthday banquet tomorrow, when he suddenly received a call from the front desk, saying that a pregnant woman who called herself A Ling wanted to find him.
Han Yue shook his hand, and the microphone almost slipped out of his hand.
The woman didn't seem to be suffering much, but she looked more haggard than before. She didn't know what kind of stimulation she had received mentally, and her speech and movements were slower than before. She seemed to be avoiding someone. When Han Yue saw her, she found that her hair was disheveled, deliberately covering her face, and her clothes were extremely loose, deliberately covering her six- to seven-month-old belly.
Han Yue asked her what happened, but she was trembling all over, and kept repeating vague words such as "Ninth Office of National Security" and "Long Jiwei"; Tell Gao Liangqing to come over.
Gao Liangqing was the master of censorship back then, so he calmed down the woman's nerves, and then picked up a few more critical questions to ask: "Where have you been all this time? Who locked you up?" ?”
"...Pei, Pei Zhi..."
Gao Liangqing and Han Yue looked at each other in astonishment for a moment, but then A Ling changed her words and said tremblingly: "No, it's Long, Long Jiwei!"
"... Is it Pei Zhi or Long Jiwei? Where have you been all this time?"
A Ling began to tremble visibly, her body trembling like a fallen leaf in the wind. After a while, she suddenly grabbed Han Yue, and said in an extremely sharp voice, "Long Jiwei is dead! I just took the opportunity to run out! Don't take me back!"
Han Yue and Gao Liangqing were stunned, and Gao Liangqing asked, "Impossible, is it impossible for Long Jiwei to die?"
Han Yue decisively knocked A Ling unconscious with a palm, and pushed her into Gao Liangqing's arms: "Take care of her, and ask her carefully when she wakes up. I'll call the people from the Ninth Office to ask about Long Jiwei and Pei Zhi things."
A Ling was not in a coma for a long time, it can be seen that Han Yue paid attention to his strength when he knocked her unconscious.
She woke up after just a few minutes. Gao Liangqing put her in the inner room of the hotel room. He wanted to go in with Han Yue, but he didn't bother him first when he saw Han Yue kept calling outside.
As a matter of fact, Han Yue's phone call was not going well. The Ninth Office was originally at odds with the Han family, so of course he couldn't ask any inside information. During this period of time, Pei Zhi has been unable to get in touch. They all thought he was on a business trip abroad. Today was the first time they called him, but no one answered.
Later, Han Yue called an old comrade-in-arms of the old commander Han, and only then did he find out about Long Jiwei. It is said that the Nine Offices have already turned the world upside down. Yesterday, when several big bosses secretly met with Japanese dignitaries, Long Jiwei escorted them in the dark, but they didn't know what was going on, so they handed over in private. At that time, the fluctuations in the volume of a small venue stunned everyone on the 28th floor of the building. Vice Minister Yu urgently arranged for a rapid retreat. In the end, as a result, the opportunity to escape was delayed, and there was no retreat in the end. When Lao Yu went back to look for Long Jiwei later, it was said that the old dragon had grown to the point where a floor could not fit in. Several old men from the Japanese warlock family were eaten whole, and the things they brought were being eaten by the runaway old man. In front of the dragon, he couldn't even stop a high-frequency shock wave, and was directly burned into coke.
Old Yu knows it's not good at a glance. For things like old dragons, the weaker the owner is, the stronger it is. Once it senses that the owner's life wave is on the verge of disappearing, it will become violent uncontrollably. The owner who is still alive is eaten raw - it thinks that the things it likes are safe only if they are hidden in its stomach, but it doesn't know that once it is swallowed into the stomach, the owner is really over.
Deputy Minister Yu put on protective clothing and risked his life to find Long Jiwei at the corner of the ruined floor. Long Jiwei was also unique. When he was seriously injured, he gave himself an injection and forced himself into a deep sleep just like he did two years ago.
The old comrade-in-arms told Han Yue that it was said that Long Jiwei was covered in blood when he was transported to the Ninth Place. of. The buffer wave emanating from this thing has not completely disappeared, and everyone in Jiufang was stunned by it, and there are still a few people lying in the hospital who have not come out.
Han Yue was right when he thought about it. If A Ling was indeed imprisoned by Long Jiwei, then yesterday she was also buffered by the old dragon, and her thinking was a little disordered. But she still knew that she was going to escape, and maybe someone took advantage of the chaos to release her, and then she went directly to the Han family.
So the one who killed Han Qiang was Long Jiwei
That appalling way of killing, if it wasn't for the blood feud with Han Qiang, only a master like Long Jiwei who kills without batting an eyelid can do it...
"Han Yue Han Yue! I asked about a new situation!" Gao Liangqing rushed out of the room with a tense face: "Pei Zhi went to see A Ling the morning Han Qiang was killed, and tried to take her by force. Let's go, but it was Long Jiwei who caught Pei Zhi and A Ling together in the end! During this time, Long Jiwei kept Pei Zhi and A Ling locked up!"
Han Yue was startled: "Pei Zhi? Why is he taking A Ling away by force?"
"Because A Ling thought of an important clue later. Han Qiang had been entrusting a friend to help him look at the house for a few days, do you remember? At that time, because of the Han family's encounter with Long Jiwei, your father was in Taijiang, and you He was injured again and couldn’t go out. Han Qiang couldn’t go out to watch in a high-profile manner, so he entrusted a friend. When he was killed the morning he went out, he also told A Ling to go see something with a friend. He didn’t come back at noon. Contact him The mobile phone number that I contacted frequently, I think he went out that day to meet the friend who looked at the house! That friend is definitely suspected of committing a major crime!"
"... the friend who can be entrusted by Han Qiang to look at the house will not be Long Jiwei." A terrible thought vaguely flashed in Han Yue's mind, and his face changed in an instant. He forced a smile and said, "Could it be Pei Zhi?"
Without hesitation, Gao Liangqing said, "I'm going to contact the control immediately, and try to control Pei Zhi's whereabouts before tomorrow!"
Han Yue nodded and watched him run out while making a phone call like a wind.
Han Yue originally planned to arrange for A Ling, and then follow her to the Public Security Bureau. But how to arrange for A Ling has become a thorny issue.
After all, this woman is pregnant with Han Qiang's posthumous child, so it stands to reason that she should be sent to the Han family immediately. But Han Yue always had some fear in his heart that he didn't want to think about. He was afraid that if he sent A Ling to the Han family, what this woman would say in front of the Han family.
What he could guess, Old Commander Han would definitely be able to guess too.
In the end, he opened a room in the hotel and asked the woman not to go out casually, and then called a few of his men to come over and watch her.
Han Yue had just left the hotel and was about to drive to the police station when his cell phone rang suddenly, and he opened it to see that it was Lao Qian's phone.
He asked Lao Qian to find a tight-lipped subordinate to go to Guizhou to investigate the situation of Chu Ci's hometown, and it was almost time.
Sure enough, Lao Qian said on the phone: "I got all the materials for you, and I specially found a fast-moving, honest and honest guy. When do you think you can ask him to meet, so that he can give you the things in person?"
Han Yue almost blurted out the address of that hotel, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said slowly: "... Send it to my apartment outside the third ring road. I... I'll get it right away."
Han Yue hasn't been to this apartment for a long time since Chu Ci left.
Only one night when he was drunk, he drove to the door of the apartment in a daze, and kept knocking on the door to call Chu Ci. His roar was so loud that it finally turned into a choked sob, and the lights in the corridor were turned on and off by him, and then on and off. Finally, his voice gradually disappeared, and he fell asleep sitting in the doorway with his clothes closed.
That person is gone.
When he lived to be thirty, he suddenly became alone again, without even a home.
It's a piercing emptiness, the world is as cold as you can see, and you can't feel the slightest temperature.
Lao Qian's subordinates were really punctual, and stood at the door of the apartment waiting for Han Yue early in the morning. The young man introduced himself as Xiao Zhang, with a very ordinary appearance, the kind that would be drowned in the crowd in an instant. However, he acted very alertly and prudently, presumably because he had been doing intelligence work for a long time.
Han Yue let him in, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, this place hasn't been cleaned for a long time, and there is a little dust."
Xiao Zhang repeatedly waved his hands and said it was okay, then put the sealed kraft paper bag in his arms on the table, opened it and took out thick documents, and arranged them one by one for Han Yue: "These are the life records of the survey subjects in Guizhou, Including the family work of the parents, etc. The mother of the investigation subject died of dystocia long ago, and the relatives of that branch have long been out of contact, and there are not many things found.”
Han Yue picked up the stack of materials, feeling his hands trembling slightly.
Back then, he did entrust Pei Zhi to investigate Chu Ci's family, but what Pei Zhiyuan found was not so detailed. He just told Han Yue and Chuci in general that both of his parents died, he had no messy relatives, and he didn't even have a friend with a little background in his family.
At that time, Han Yue didn't ask any further questions, because he felt that these were enough. Anyway, what he wants is Chuci's people. He has everything he can talk about in his hands. Family and relatives are not important, and they cannot be an obstacle for him to get Chuci.
Who killed Han Qiang, why did Pei Zhi rush to take A Ling away that day, what role did Long Jiwei play in it, why did Chu Ci buy that phone card...
Each question was like a thick black mist, enveloping Han Yue tightly.
Obviously, with a wave of his hand, he could break through the fog that covered the truth, but Han Yue couldn't reach out for a long time. He was afraid that the truth behind the black mist was too hideous and terrifying, making him drip with blood as soon as he touched it, which was unbearable.
"The mother of the subject of the investigation is a middle school teacher, and his father was a soldier who served in the border guards. According to the investigation, he was stationed on the Vietnamese border for several years. He was quite famous in the army at that time. It is said that he was invited by the Vietnamese to be a Combat instructor."
Xiao Zhang took out a death certificate from the materials and said: "This is the proof that he died of gastric cancer in a hospital in Guizhou after treatment was ineffective. I also visited the neighbors in their hometown. The place seems not rich, some old people Recalling that their family's life was quite ordinary, and it became even more difficult after his father passed away, as if they had borrowed foreign debts for medical treatment."
Han Yue didn't know what it was like, so he nodded for a while and said, "...ah, that's it."
"However, the subject of the investigation should have been adopted by one of his high school teachers." Xiao Zhang found a stack of thin paper from the materials, opened it and pointed it to Han Yue: "It is said that the high school teacher's family status It was very difficult. She divorced her husband and has a son. It is said that she has a good relationship with the subject of the investigation. She should be regarded as a foster mother and adopted son in the local area. Because I didn't find out anything else. Oh, yes, her name is Li Weili, and this is a photo of her son before he was alive."
Han Yue nodded and said, "Oh... what?!" He grabbed the stack of papers violently, and his voice was so sharp that he almost changed his tone: "Li Weili?!"
Xiao Zhang was taken aback: "Second Young Master Han? What's wrong with you?"
"..." Han Yue's ears were buzzing, and his hands and feet felt cold. It took a while for him to force out a sentence through the gap between his teeth: "No... I'm fine, thank you for your hard work.... Ah, how about this, you keep the things first, I'll take a look at it myself..."
Xiao Zhang thought that he had encountered some private matter and didn't want others to know about it, and thought that these powerful and rich people were like this, so he nodded in understanding and left. Before leaving, he thoughtfully helped Han Yue close the door of the house.
Han Yue heard the click, and then silence returned to the living room.
He looked at Li Weili's photo on the paper, and then trembling his fingers, turned to the second photo to see her son Li Gaoyang. The action of turning the page exhausted all his energy, so that when he saw the time of death of the mother and child, he suddenly sat down on the sofa.
Impossible, impossible, impossible! This idea roared wildly in his mind over and over again, like a wild beast trapped in a cage, he had nowhere to go, which made him wish he could grab Chu Ci and ask him sharply, to hear him completely deny this matter.
However, for some reason, Han Yue could only sit on the sofa as if he had exhausted all his strength. His body was so heavy that he couldn't even lift a finger of his own.
The great panic of watching the dark scene of despair attack on his back, but unable to struggle and escape, grabbed Han Yue's heart like iron pincers. For a moment, due to the rapid impact of blood flow, his hands and feet were terribly numb, and he almost lost consciousness completely.
However, he could see his hand grasping the edge of the coffee table with such force that it almost snapped off his fingers. At the same time, he was trembling violently. The frequency could even be clearly seen with the naked eye.
At that moment, he thought of many things, and many details that he deliberately ignored, all passed through his mind one by one like a horse watching flowers.
On the night before Han Qiang was killed, Chu Ci's unusual initiative made him indulge in excitement and pleasure, and he didn't notice that the time slipped to two o'clock in the morning so quickly. Then he slept very soundly, it can be said that he rarely slept so soundly, even to the point where he completely lost the sense of time.
He used to wake up once in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, but he didn't that night because he was too fast asleep. However, under such circumstances, when he woke up, the clock showed ten o'clock in the morning.
When Han Yue woke up that morning to check the time, he had some doubts, but he didn't think about it at that time, or Chu Ci didn't make him think about it.
But now, with the ferment of time, that little doubt has created a huge doubt in Han Yue's mind.
He could clearly recall that when he woke up that morning, the curtains in the room were tightly drawn, no light could come in, and he couldn't see the sky outside the window at all. Then he went out to help Chu Ci make a cup of soy milk, and saw the sky outside the window in the kitchen...
He remembered. At that time, the sky outside the window was dark, so when he returned to the bedroom, he told Chu Ci that it might rain soon, why was the sky outside the window so cloudy
What did Chu Ci say at that time? It seems to echo...
A bolt of lightning struck Han Yue's mind. He always thought that it was a gloomy morning, at that time Han Qiang was killed, and Chu Ci was at home with him, so he had a perfect alibi.
But this evidence must be based on a premise, that is, when Han Yue woke up, it was indeed ten o'clock in the morning, not the afternoon when it was getting late!
This terrible realization made Han Yue's heart almost stop for a moment, but then, more detailed doubts flooded into his brain: when he brought the soy milk to Chu Ci, he was always true to him. The reticent Chu Ci actually asked him to "lay down with me for a while", and Han Yue, who supposedly had slept for several hours and was very energetic, fell asleep while lying down!
Han Yue's memory of the later events was even clearer: when he woke up, he received a text message from Han Qiang, but in fact Han Qiang should have been killed, and someone else sent the text message. Regardless of who sent the text message, he checked the time on his phone when he received the text message, and it was past ten o'clock in the evening.
Is it really possible for him to wake up at ten o'clock in the morning, fall asleep again soon, and sleep until after ten o'clock in the evening
As a professional soldier who has lived in the army for more than ten years and whose work and rest habits have been carved into his bones, is it really possible for him to disrupt his biological clock to such an extent because of a night of indulgence
Han Yue subconsciously rejected this possibility in his mind.
However, if he first woke up not at ten o'clock in the morning, but at four or five o'clock in the afternoon when it was getting late, then everything would be explained.
The gloomy sky he saw from the window was not actually a sign that it was going to rain, but because it was already so late; and the time he fell asleep for the second time was not twelve hours at all, just It just lasted from five or six in the afternoon to more than ten in the evening.
If explained in this way, everything makes sense.
In order to achieve this effect, Chu Ci may have adjusted the clock time in the morning, giving Han Yue the illusion that he was still at home at ten o'clock in the morning. In fact, it was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and no one knew what Chu Ci went out to do in the morning!
Trembling, Han Yue took out his phone and pressed Chu Ci's number, but he couldn't press the green call button.
He wanted to hear Chu Ci say no, wanted to hear him angrily question how he could suspect him, even wanted to hear Chu Ci snort dismissively, and then lazily asked him: Do you think it is possible
As long as Chu Ci says no, even if he doesn't explain anything or give any reason, Han Yue is willing to believe him firmly!
... However, when Han Yue was so eager, there was also a sober and terrifying voice in his heart, always reminding him coldly that if he made this call, the bloody truth might tear him apart in an instant.
Because Chu Ci would not deny it.
He is the kind of person who won't take the initiative to admit that he has done something, but if someone finds out, he will not hide it.
Han Yue remembered that when he first got Chu Ci a long time ago, he looked at him all day long, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him, wishing he could bite him and eat him. But seeing him coldly rejecting others thousands of miles away, and hating him so much, he couldn't help but do things that he knew would make Chu Ci suffer, but still couldn't help it.
He once handcuffed Chu Ci to the head of the bed, and didn't allow him to wear clothes. He didn't let him down until he finally couldn't stand it anymore and begged. He also once took Chu Ci out to show off to his buddies, but halfway through the show, he became jealous, kissed him in public and groped him.
Sometimes when he saw Chu Ci's embarrassment and pain, he felt a little remorse in his heart, but the thing had been done, the damage had been done, no matter how much he repented, he couldn't change it. Every time, he comforted himself to treat him better in the future, anyway, it will be a long time, a lifetime, and there will always be a chance to make up for it in the future. However, it was only today that he suddenly realized that he had already lost the chance to make up for it forever.
In his whole life, he only brought complete pain to Chu Ci, without any relief at all.
In the end, what Chu Ci returned to him was the bloody and unforgettable pain of bereavement.
Han Yue bit his hand desperately until the back of his hand was bitten bloody, and he could barely control himself from crying hoarsely.
The sky was getting dark, and he was sitting alone in the empty house, when suddenly his cell phone rang, which was very clear in the quiet living room.
"Hey, Han Yue! It's me, Gao Liangqing. I have good news for you. We have found Pei Zhi's whereabouts. He will definitely attend your old man's birthday banquet tomorrow. Then you can have a face-to-face interrogation... Hey, are you listening? Han Yue? What's wrong with you, Han Yue?"
Han Yue moved a little when he heard the word "shouyan", and vaguely remembered that he was looking forward to this birthday banquet, because the old commander Han told him that Chu Ci would also come.
He was so happy at that time, he couldn't restrain the restless longing in his heart, he was so old, but he still counted the days with his fingers like a child, wishing that the time would skip to the day of the birthday banquet.
"... Hey, Han Yue, are you still listening? What's wrong with you?" Gao Liangqing paused, and asked sensitively, "Did you find anything? Tell me if you have any clues!"
Han Yue opened his mouth, and after a while, he said in a hoarse voice, "...No, no."
"Huh? What did you say?"
"No." Han Yue said slowly, "I haven't found any clues..."
