An eye-catching silver off-road vehicle galloped by on the not spacious road, knocking over the stalls one after another, eggs and vegetable leaves scattered all over the place, and people screamed and fled around.
A black sedan followed closely behind the SUV.
Compared to the crazy off-road vehicle, the sedan is obviously a lot more cautious, so it is left behind by the off-road vehicle from time to time.
Passing through the most densely populated road in the city center, the off-road vehicle turned towards the southern suburbs. There was a loud roar from the engine, and the sturdy wheels rolled up thick mud. The car was in hot pursuit, and the distance between the two cars kept shrinking.
Mingshu held the steering wheel and stared at the off-road vehicle in front of him.
In the driver's seat of that car sat Xun Xiaoyun, an old classmate he hadn't seen for many years, a criminal he never expected.
Serial revenge, provoking the police, and finally, this person provoked him in front of him.
Xiangshan City is located in a remote mountainous area, and the police force is scarce. Xiao Yuan asked him to temporarily stay at the city bureau and not act rashly. However, Xun Xiaoyun suddenly appeared, and the photos of Xiang Lin bound on the roof were also transmitted to his mobile phone. He naturally refused. It may be ignored and wait for Xiao Yu'an and the special operations team to arrive.
Xiang Lin—Xiang Haoming’s father—has been missing for many days, but it turns out that he was already under the control of Xun Xiaoyun.
The off-road vehicle drove on the narrow winding mountain road only for two vehicles, and the speed hardly slowed down. The cliffs turned sharply, the gravel collapsed, and the screeching of the wheels pulling out from the ground severely stimulated people's nerves.
Mingshu's forehead and neck were covered in sweat, clenching his teeth, and his spirit was highly tense.
Here is the border, Xun Xiaoyun may want to cross the border. Once he was allowed to run away, it would be even more difficult to arrest him.
After climbing over three steep hills one after another, the silver off-road vehicle suddenly stopped on a slope. Mingshu took a closer look and saw that the off-road vehicle stepped back, leaving the mountain road and diving straight down the slope!
What does Xun Xiaoyun want to do
What's under the slope
Mingshu knew very well that what was waiting for him was most likely a trap, but he had to chase it even if he didn't, and he had to chase if he didn't!
"呲呲呲-"
The body bumped against the plants and stones, making a tingling sound that made the scalp tingling, and the scene in front of him shook violently.
Under the slope, a gray three-story building suddenly appeared.
The small building was very dilapidated, and only the frame was left on the third floor. A shrill roar came from the small building, and it could be heard that it was a man.
The off-road vehicle stopped outside the small building. Xun Xiaoyun got off the driver's seat and waved at Mingshu, "Old classmate, long time no see."
Mingshu looked at the man with a sinister smile through the windshield of the car.
Xun Xiaoyun was wearing a black T-shirt and camouflage pants, with a tactical vest hanging on the outside of the T-shirt, a pair of dark brown leather boots on his feet, and a pistol inserted into the tactical vest. rifle.
Although Mingshu was in a hurry, he was also wearing a tactical vest at this time, and there was no shortage of necessary combat equipment in the car.
The silence in the forest was unusual, and the man's pain was particularly harsh.
"Get out of the car." Xun Xiaoyun suddenly raised his hand and made a gesture of surrender, "You chased me so much, didn't you just want to arrest me? I didn't think about running away, I just wanted to catch up with my old classmates. , talk about what's happened over the years. I guess you're really interested in getting to know me by now."
Mingshu opened the door lock, maintaining complete calm and vigilance.
Xun Xiaoyun was different from what he remembered, not because of his appearance, but because of the paranoia and madness in his expression.
Mingshu is only unfamiliar with such an old classmate.
He never knew Xun Xiaoyun. But there is no doubt that Xun Xiaoyun has been staring at his every move like a ghost.
Xun Xiaoyun seemed very proud when she said "You must really want to know me now".
The view outside the car was wider, and Mingshu saw Xiang Lin hanging from the frame on the third floor.
Xiang Lin hissed for help, but in a place like this, even if a person broke his throat, no one would come to rescue him.
"Bang." Mingshu closed the door.
"You have a lot of things you want to ask me." Xun Xiaoyun swung her right hand inside, "Let's go in and talk?"
Mingshu's eyes are full of exploration.
Xun Xiaoyun smiled, put away the pistol and rifle, and swung forward with both hands close together, which means "to catch it", "Old classmate, you have no other choice. You are a criminal policeman, if you want to save people, you also want to arrest them. Suspect, my number one suspect is right in front of you, and I just want to chat with you a few words before you arrest me."
"Let Xiang Lin go." Ming Shu said.
"Of course." Xun Xiaoyun nodded, "After we finish talking, you can take him away."
The building was empty, with only a few sturdy pillars on the first floor. Mingshu leaned on a pillar, "Who is Duan Yun?"
Xun Xiaoyun's brows and eyes were in the shadows, but when he heard the word "Duan Yun", masseter muscles clearly appeared on his face.
"I thought the first thing you wanted to ask was, why am I targeting you." Xun Xiaoyun said with a hint of a smile, but this smile was very cold, "Old classmate, aren't you curious?"
Mingshu frowned, "I don't remember doing anything that you hate."
Xun Xiaoyun laughed, "Because the winner never sees the unwillingness of the loser, right?"
"loser?"
"You don't even know that I have been chasing you?"
Mingshu raised his chin slightly. In his memory, the intersection between him and Xun Xiaoyun was pitiful, and now he has almost forgotten about it.
"Sure enough, you disdain people who are not as good as you." Xun Xiaoyun said, "You don't even know that I have appeared at your workplace many times, right? Top student, you don't understand the pain of being a chaser. Brother Lu Yanzhou knows me, your apprentice Fang Yuanhang knows me, and even Teacher Lin from the Psychological Research Center knows me. You are the only one who knows nothing about my existence."
Xun Xiaoyun sneered, "Very good, now you have to face me."
Mingshu really didn't understand, he couldn't even figure out why Xun Xiaoyun was staring at him and when.
If it is a chaser, he is also a chaser. He is chasing Xiao Yuan, and he never knows that chasing is also a pain.
"When I was studying, I was pressed by you everywhere. No matter what project it was, even if it was just a basketball game, as long as you participated, I would be a loser." Thinking, constantly thinking, when will I be able to surpass you, even if there is only one item!"
Mingshu thought of the rusty badge. Bomb disposal is the only one that Xun Xiaoyun won during his college years, so he cherished it so much, and finally took it as a vow of revenge and buried it in the place where he met Duan Yun.
Xun Xiaoyun said: "In order to beat you, I specialized in criminal psychology and self-taught network security. When I was a senior, I won an award for participating in a cyber offensive and defensive confrontation, you know?"
Mingshu has no impression.
Xun Xiaoyun smiled wryly at himself, "It's not surprising, your eyes can't see me, and you have already started your internship at that time. Not only can't you see me, our teachers can't see me, what is my award? Criminal police officer Do you need this kind of nondescript award? Your photo is posted on the school's honor column, because you participated in solving serious cases early as a trainee police officer. My trophy certificate is placed in the dormitory and no one cares. And Criminal Minds, Back then, it was not recognized in China. Old classmate, I was just like this step by step, and I was forced into a desperate situation by you. "
Mingshu felt extremely absurd, Xun Xiaoyun was clearly struggling with a narrow desire to win, and had serious psychological problems, but he blamed it all.
He is just an imaginary enemy erected unilaterally by Xun Xiaoyun. If it weren't for him, it would be someone else, Yang Jing, Xueba, anyone!
But now, it is too late to pursue these matters.
"Seven years ago, did you come to Xiangshan City to relax after leaving the police force?" Mingshu asked.
Xun Xiaoyun was silent for a few minutes, "I was assigned to Gezhong Town, where there will not be any major cases for a year, five or ten years. My colleagues have nothing to do all day, on duty, patrolling, and the four seasons of the year go by like this. already."
Mingshu said, "Are you looking forward to a big case?"
"Don't lecture me, you don't like to listen." Xun Xiaoyun waved his hand impatiently, "When I wasted my life in Gezhong Town, what were you doing?"
Mingshu thought for a while, since he left the campus, he has never really been free. Even if there are no major cases in big cities, there are still small cases. If you take a step back, even if there are no small cases, new people will be detained. To study and organize backlogs.
"I hear your name all the time." Xun Xiaoyun said, "What case did Mingshu participate in to solve, and what contribution did Mingshu make... But what about me? I am so close to you, Ge Zhongzhen, but I do Do those jobs that don’t require investigative skills at all. Your future is the backbone of the criminal investigation and the person in charge of the serious crime team. Maybe you can fight for a director or something in the future. What about me? I don’t see a future.”
Mingshu said, "So you chose to resign?"
"I can't take it anymore!" Xun Xiaoyun gritted his teeth, "As long as I'm still wearing a police uniform, I can't let myself not compare with you! Every day I ask myself, why can't I catch up with you? I'm only a little worse than you, why is my situation? But it's so different?"
Xun Xiaoyun's right index finger is parallel to the thumb, with a distance of less than one centimeter between them, "Why am I so unlucky, I just want a chance to solve the case to prove myself, but Ge Zhongzhen is so peaceful that there is not even a murder case!"
"But it's fine now." Xun Xiaoyun put down his hands, "They all say that peace is a blessing, and there will be no major case in Ge Zhongzhen, so I will let it happen!"
Mingshu said, "Did you choose to kill He Yang in Gezhong Town because of your disappointment back then?"
"Isn't it? I want to let the big case happen there!" Xun Xiaoyun said sharply.
Mingshu shook his head slightly.
"Go back. I went to the psychiatrist, and the psychiatrist said that I need to self-regulate and jump out of my inherent circle. Maybe I should go to a place with a good climate." Xun Xiaoyun's eyes gradually softened, "So I came here. When I arrived in Xiangshan City, unfortunately, I got lost in the virgin forest and almost died inside."
Mingshu said, "Duan Yun saved you."
Xun Xiaoyun took a deep breath, "It seems that you have already checked it out. Yes, Duan Yun saved me, not only from the virgin forest, but also my life. He... "
Xun Xiaoyun seems to be trapped in the unique memories of his life, "He is my sun, what psychiatrists have not done, he has done."
"Yin Zhuo, why don't you laugh?" Duan Yun put the fresh vegetables in the sink, "The weather is so nice today, please smile. You must be handsome when you smile."
"Yin Zhuo, you are lucky!" Duan Yun took out the white and tender tofu from the pot, "You lost your way in the virgin forest and ended up running into me. God, how could anyone have such good luck? ? You should go buy a lottery ticket."
"Yin Zhuo, isn't the crispy fish you made too delicious?" Duan Yun was digging the rice with great appetite, "I've never eaten such delicious fish. Let's discuss it, I'll make it every day in the future. I'll bring you food, how about you cook for me every day? Promise, promise, I'll call you brother!"
"Yin Zhuo, you are amazing, you can do everything, teach me some tricks tomorrow? I'll learn self-defense!" Duan Yun was lying on the ground panting, sweating profusely, "I had two wishes when I was young, one is to read University, the second is to be a soldier, you have done it, you are my idol!"
"Yin Zhuo, you really like to laugh now!" Duan Yun showed her little white teeth, standing in the sun, her whole figure seemed to melt into the light, "That's right, life is actually quite beautiful, if there is a downturn , I'll be your ladder!"
"I didn't tell him the truth." Xun Xiaoyun's voice became hoarse, "I'm not Yin Zhuo, and I've never been a soldier. I'm just a failed former criminal police officer."
"How can a person be so kind? He can't see all of my darkness and flaws. His eyes seem to only find my goodness, and he always compliments me in different ways." Xun Xiaoyun said: " When I left Xiangshan City, I felt that I had come out, no longer obsessed with competing with you, and looking forward, I could see hope."
Ming Shu's fingertips were a little cold. In Ke Zheng's description, he already knew how bright Duan Yun was, and Xun Xiaoyun made it all clearer.
Duan Yun is the sun. Xun Xiaoyun once had it, but at a certain moment, he lost it forever.
"I started to use my advantages to start a business. Criminal police is not suitable for me. I found my value in the IT industry." Xun Xiaoyun said slowly: "I am devoted to my career. The company has developed into a leading company in the industry. I... I'm in the early stage, and I'm no worse than any of your old classmates!"
"I lied to Duan Yun back then, my identity was fake, and my experience as a soldier was made up. Before I made a name for myself, I didn't have the face to go to him." Xun Xiaoyun's voice suddenly trembled, "But when I can' When Homecoming', he's already…”
Sadness seemed to seep into the air, and Ming Shu tasted despair, suffocation, and pain that was difficult to resolve.
"Yin Zhen, He Yang, Jiang Xiyang, Yue Shuqing..." Xun Xiaoyun recited the names of the audience of the game three years ago, "there are actually such vicious people in the world, such cruel things. Why Duan Yun? Why my sun?"
After a long time, Xun Xiaoyun murmured: "The struggle of those few years was like a false dream. The dream suddenly woke up, and I was still the same person I used to be. As soon as Duan Yun left, he took everything I had with me. I want to give it to him. Revenge, but also... win over you."
Mingshu squeezed the corners of his lips.
Xun Xiaoyun smiled dryly, "Excellent old classmate, Team Ming, I have already defeated you!"
"When I was a police academy student and a criminal police officer, I always competed with you, and I couldn't compete. It was you who pushed me into a pit that I couldn't get up from. But being a murderer is very suitable for me. I committed crimes on your territory, You have instigated others to commit crimes on your territory, and all of them have succeeded! Have you been eyeing He Yang for a long time? But so what? I killed He Yang under your nose! And all you can do is find me The murderer!"
"That man upstairs." Xun Xiaoyun pointed up, "His son was killed by the little devil I 'taught', and he himself fell into my hands. What if you solved the case? Xiang Haoming has already Dead. Old classmate, I won this round of confrontation between us!"
Mingshu's face was solemn, and his fists were clenched.
Xun Xiaoyun laughed again: "Have you also experienced the feeling of being a loser? What is the biggest failure as a police officer? You just can't stop a murder from happening! But I can. The three of Zhou Lan are like the seedlings I nurtured. On the day of the 'Ninth Battlefield', I noticed them and noticed Xiang Haoming, who was being targeted by them."
Xun Xiaoyun seemed to be an arrogant winner, and his voice became louder, "Only I can stop that torture!"
Mingshu said solemnly: "But not only did you not stop it, but instead you imprisoned Xiang Haoming's father."
The laughter echoed in the empty building, and it was difficult for the listener to distinguish whether the laughter was joy or sorrow.
"I'm the murderer, not the police. Why should I stop it? I hope it's too late!"
If Mingshu just thought he didn't look like a former classmate, now to Mingshu, he is a complete stranger.
"Among those damned people, He Yang is the most difficult one to deal with. He is suspicious, cunning, and cruel. Do you know how I killed He Yang?" You must have thought of my modus operandi, right?"
"You and Cao Zhiya killed the foreigner Nishikawa Lingmei, and you let Cao Zhiya approach He Yang as Nishikawa Lingmei, and showed He Yang specific scenes in the 'Ninth Battlefield'. Ordinary people only because of those scenes Feeling uncomfortable, but the sociopath will feel excited, attracted, and the evil thoughts in their hearts will be further stimulated." Mingshu said: "I guess, those scenes are all designed by you."
Xun Xiaoyun nodded in satisfaction, "Continue."
"He Yang became interested in Nishikawa Lingmei. Nishikawa Lingmei told him that she would not only design a secret room, but also a real killing show." Mingshu said, "It is Lai Xiuliang who was presented to He Yang as a bug."
Xun Xiaoyun said, "That's right."
Mingshu's eyes were full of anger, but his tone was extremely restrained, "Nishikawa Lingmei has instilled a concept in He Yang many times that weak bugs are not worth killing, and playing with rich bugs is the pleasure of the superior. So rich, and Lai Xiuliang, who has a strong desire to rise, became the best candidate. On the day Lai Xiuliang disappeared, it was you or Nishikawa Suzumi who told him that Mr. He was invited."
Xun Xiaoyun gave him two rounds of applause, "That insatiable early-dead ghost, as soon as he heard that it was good, he took the initiative to follow me away from the Science and Technology Park."
"I have a question." Mingshu said, "Is He Yang really pleased by the game you prepared?"
"You know He Yang very well." Xun Xiaoyun smiled and said, "It's really hard to please people like He Yang."
"So you killed Lai Xiuliang just to make him more interested in Nishikawa Suzumi." Mingshu said: "The more interested he is, when he discovers Nishikawa Suzumi's true identity, his inner desire will be aroused even more. "You appear in front of He Yang again and tell him about the relationship between Cao Zhiya and Liang Xiaojun."
"Mr. He, this is a game I designed for you." Xun Xiaoyun half-squinted, "What's more fun than killing the Avengers with your own hands?"
Mingshu asked, "Is Cao Zhiya voluntary?"
"She is very grateful to me." Xun Xiaoyun hummed, "I told her the truth of Liang Xiaojun's death, and I took her to the place where Liang Xiaojun was killed. Of course, I didn't tell her until the end that if she wanted revenge, she had to do it for me. Die. I promise her that I will kill He Yang in the cruelest way."
Mingshu looked at Xun Xiaoyun, and suddenly felt that many reptiles were chewing between the bones.
A person with serious psychological problems found the sun in his life in the darkness. But when the only sun disappeared, he instantly became a more cruel devil than the devil.
"After killing Cao Zhiya, He Yang finally relaxed his vigilance. He believes that I am a better game designer than Zhou Shan. Only me can make him feel the ultimate gaming pleasure." Xun Xiaoyun's eyes flashed. All hatred, "He became my puppet, I asked him to wait for me in the basement, and he just waited there for me. You see, people are actually very manipulative, as long as you know what his greed is, and then' Prescribe the right medicine'."
Taking a long breath, Xun Xiaoyun and Mingshu met eyes, "Old classmate, do you admit it? You have completely lost to me! Even if you catch me now, what's the use? The people I want to kill are all She has already been killed by me, and your teammates are still guarding Kong Mingxuan in Chaocheng, right? But from the beginning, I never had any idea of her. The last person I wanted to kill was actually you!"
Mingshu's gun is already in his hand.
"Old classmate, if you want to blame those people for killing my sun." Xun Xiaoyun said, "My illness has been cured by Duan Yun, and I could have walked in the sunshine just like you. Others will only say , Don't be so serious about winning or losing, but I can't convince myself, after thinking about it, only by defeating you can I be free!"
Mingshu's heart trembled violently.
"In my junior year, I got a badge for the bomb disposal. That was the only time I ever beat you. I take that badge as my pride, the only gift I could give. I gave it to Duan Yun, vowed to avenge him." Xun Xiaoyun said: "Now, I have fulfilled my vow, and I look forward to meeting him again."
Mingshu finds that Xun Xiaoyun seems to be planning to end his life.
"But before that, I still want to play a game with you." Xun Xiaoyun smiled incomparably, "He Yang and Yin Zhen think that low-level people are bugs, but I, the bug, trampled them to death. I want to play the game of bugs. Xiang Lin has a bomb on his body, I set it up."
Mingshu's pupils immediately tightened.
Xun Xiaoyun smiled and said, "Setting up and dismantling bombs is the only thing I can do better than you. I know I'm not being kind. Old classmate, aren't you a good detective? It's your duty to save lives. People's lives are in front of you. , it depends on whether you dare to rescue."
