There are many reasons why the exploration plan must include Xie Xing. For information transmission, Xie Xing is an intermediate channel. For Hu Liangan, Xie Xing is an indispensable safety lock, and for Ah Gui, it is a trap. Chains around his throat, and by the time he realizes how hard it is to get the chains off his neck, it's too late.
"Two three six five nine—someone visiting!"
It was the first day of Xie Xing's imprisonment. Agui sat shaking in the visiting room, staring at him. The familiar eyes on the opposite side had been deeply sunken, but there was a strange and bright light flashing in the bottom of them.
"What do you do with this kind of thing? What do you do with such a thing when you study well?!"
"I came here to find you, and I said that one day I will pull you out of this hell!"
With a loud snap, Xie Xing was knocked over on the chair by a slap, and blood splattered from the corners of his lips on the spot. Before he could regain his senses from his dizziness, Ah Gui had already rudely dragged him up, stripped off his prison clothes, and took off his own clothes.
"You, what are you doing?!"
Agui ignored him at all, knelt on the ground and changed the shoes of the two of them, Xie Xing finally realized his intention in disbelief: "You can't be so messy! You—"
"Someone will take you out. You are not allowed to talk or look around on the road. After you go out, a car will take you to a town in Shan State, where there are houses and people that I have arranged in advance. Contact Zhang after you go out. Bo Ming, tell him that things in the detention center are not for him to care about, shrimp, shrimp, crabs and crabs, and I have everything in place."
Xie Xing was completely shocked, and asked in a very low voice: "What about the arranged plan?!"
"Plan." Agui almost sneered: "—How long does Zhang Boming plan to let you stay in prison?"
"…Three months."
"Why didn't the surnamed Zhang come and see what it's like to be in prison for three months!"
Xie Xing wanted to explain, but was scolded by him so he couldn't open his mouth. He saw that Agui's anger still remained, and he clapped his hands outside. The door opened in response, and a prison staff came in and gave a tacit wink, then closed the door and backed out. go out.
Agui turned to Xie Xing, whose cheeks were still red and swollen, and said coldly, "I don't care what your plan is. When you reach the border, you have to follow my plan. If you want to survive, you have to follow my plan—and more."
"No matter how they taught you to be a good spy, they will all be forgotten by me from now on. First of all, I will teach you how to be a spy who can survive."
Agui is right. Xie Xing is indeed very talented and has a strong learning ability, but being a good undercover agent cannot rely solely on learning. The temperament given by time, the consciousness created by experience, the instinct of life and death experience, these most subtle details cannot be obtained from the rigorous training session of the special investigation team, which is also the beginning of the special investigation team. One of the important reasons for the sand.
Agui used all the energy and connections he had accumulated at the border to exchange Xie Xing from the detention center. Although this was in line with Hu Liangan and Zhang Boming's psychological characterization and behavioral analysis of Agui, it was indeed disruptive. The exploration plan has already arranged the action steps.
But at that time, Hu Liangan didn't have time to worry about this with Agui. As the head of the special investigation team, he released hundreds of lines in his hand, and the exploration was just a trivial one. Considering that Xie Xing would not be enough to pose a threat of leaks even if he turned against the water, he decided to first withdraw his own people from the Jinkang District Detention Center and watch their next move from afar.
What happened was not as Hu Liangan expected. It didn't take long for a Burmese armed military vehicle to cross the border and snatched Agui from the detention center.
"Miss!" "Miss, slow down—"
Ma Yin hurriedly pushed open the door and strode into the room, only to see Ah Guizheng struggling to sit up from the bed, without saying a word, "Clap!" It was a loud slap, which made his cheek suddenly turn to one side and float up a few times. Dow print.
"Miss is here!" "Miss!"…
Agui lowered his head and waved his hands, and the little ponies hurried away in fright, not even daring to look back.
"I said why did you go back to your hometown to go to the grave as if you were dead, and thought you were hiding from me to get married and have children, and then I found out that you were actually caught in jail?! And you still volunteered to replace others?!" Ma Yin pointed at Ah Gui's nose with one hand on his hips and the other, and a sharp roar resounded outside the house: "What the hell are you doing behind my back, do you know how worried I am?! Who is that person, tell me!"
Agui said hoarsely, "I'm sorry, Miss, the time was urgent, I'm afraid you won't agree..."
"Know that I don't agree, but dare to go! You!" Ma Yin raised his hand to strike again, and suddenly saw Ah Gui's upper body covered with bloody bandages, and his handsome face was pale and bloodless, and the slap could not be slapped. He patted the table angrily: "—Who is that person? What is the relationship between the two of you!"
"... It's the little brother of my relative from the same town." Agui swallowed his saliva and lowered his head. "This man has been unsatisfactory since he was a child. For a few small money, he ran to bring fans to Brother Qiang and the others in Mushan, and was caught by the scorpion. He got it right. He listened to Tiaozi's deceit and sold Brother Qiang for leniency. I was afraid that he would be killed when he went in, so he was in a hurry... "
"I said, why did Mu Shan's group suddenly enter? It's because of your brother's blessing." Ma Yin was about to laugh angrily, and after thinking for a few seconds, her eyes rolled: "It's really your brother from the same town? Why not? Did you mention it?"
"What I mentioned to you, you forgot—he was studying at the 'line'." Agui laughed at himself: "I don't even bother to contact someone like me, I haven't studied for a few years. When I had to read it, and I wanted to make money, I started to learn from other people and mixed with Taoism, going back and forth…”
"OK OK!"
In the drug gang, Ma Yin has heard of the same kind of story. There are no one thousand and eight hundred. Nine out of ten people at the bottom of the gang join in this way. The room was quiet for a moment, and I saw her face changing as she stood there. She didn't know what thoughts were spinning in her mind, and suddenly asked: "—Where is that person hidden by you now?"
"In the town at the foot of the mountain." As if afraid of her being overbearing, Agui immediately explained: "I plan to give him some money and then drive him away. Don't worry, Miss, I will never let him get involved in our affairs... "
If he tried to get his brother up the mountain, he would definitely make Ma Yin's instinctive suspicion as the eldest lady of the poison gang, but his diametrically opposite behavior now aroused another kind of rebellious psychology of Ma Yin: "Wait. Wait, drive away? Drive away for what?"
Agui was stunned.
"Come to Ming and bring it to me to see, what kind of 'brother' is the relationship between, so that you are willing to be beaten and imprisoned for others." Ma Yin sneered charmingly, looking up and down Agui, her eyes flickered with undisguised jealousy He Doubt: "Don't try to hide your name from me, I have to see if that person is your real brother, cousin, or 'god brother'!"
Agui said helplessly, "Miss..."
Ma Yin snorted, turned and walked away.
Ma Yin asked Xie Xing to dress up on the day she came to see her, and even wore gold bracelets and gems all over her hands, walking like a tinkling poppy flower. However, all this tossing was in vain the moment she saw Xie Xing. She looked at this cowardly and submissive tuberculosis in disbelief, and her first reaction was to back away in disgust: "Agui, your brother is not Can you eat noodles?"
Agui seemed a little embarrassed: "I have forced him to quit."
Ma Yinxin said that there are ghosts if you can quit, and she looked at it thoughtfully for a moment, and new doubts arose:
"You two look a bit alike, relatives from the same country? Are you really not brothers?"
Agui sighed, "It's definitely not a blood brother, there should be a blood relationship. It's just that in those years, everyone fled around and ran out. Parents and brothers haven't seen each other for decades, and now even the villagers are dead. How can you tell who is whose child?"
Ma Yin thought to himself what nonsense are you talking about, if it wasn't for your father's secret birth or your mother's birth with a wild man, or you would be beaten and imprisoned for this white-pink ghost
If it was someone else, Ma Yin must have said it on the spot, but in front of the room full of subordinates, she didn't want to embarrass Ah Gui like this. After thinking about it, she rolled her eyes and kissed Ah Gui affectionately. Hand: "So you survived thanks to me, you are mine for the rest of your life, aren't you?"
Agui said calmly, "I will remember the kindness of the eldest miss for the rest of my life."
If Mahin is her father Thayer, and his confidants are willing to go to jail for another "little brother" of unknown origin, he will not bother to suspect or verify such a strange thing at all. There will be no more doubts. But Ma Yin was still young at the time, and a little girl under 20 had limited "power". She just asked people to carefully check the background information of "Jie Qianshan", and found that the first one could match what Ah Gui said. Second, he was able to match the confession of Brother Mou Shanqiang's gang of unfortunate ghosts, and after two verifications, he believed the statement of "Xie Qianshan".
In fact, all the information she found was carefully designed and prepared by Zhang Boming in advance, and many of her reactions and psychological states were completely within the expected range of Ah Gui.
Agui sent Xie Xing to the Poppy Garden to see the garden. This was an idea that Ma Yin came up with—or she thought it was an idea that she came up with. In fact, this position is very good for the special investigation team, because the first solution has a lot of alone time and opportunities, otherwise it is too easy to pretend to have a drug addiction in front of everyone every now and then; second, he can also In this way, it can go deep into the bottom layer of the poison gang, obtain a large amount of fragmented information, and then transmit it through various pre-arranged methods.
In the first year of the undercover operation, it was more difficult to pass information, because the anonymous communication method was not mature, and there was no place to pull the network cable to find the equipment on the hilltop of the drug gang. Fortunately, as a low-level pony, Xie Xing has a lot of free time. He can go shopping in towns, hang out in black casinos, have the opportunity to drink with other ponys, and connect with the intelligence network spread out by the special intelligence team at the border. Some of the information from the inquiries was passed on to the contact person.
Ah Gui seldom visits Xie Xing in the Poppy Garden. First, it is because Ma Yin is not allowed, and he is afraid that he will be infected by the "white powder ghost" and become addicted to drugs. The second is that if he goes too much, he may arouse suspicion among the bottom horses. Later, every time he got the opportunity to go to the poppy garden, he would seize the time to stage a good show of forced detoxification and ghost crying with Xie Xing in front of other subordinates, and made a lot of preparations and preparations for Xie Xing's "successful detoxification" in the second year.
"Jie Qianshan" was rapidly transformed by frontier life.
If Ah Gui was still a young, rash and immature boy when he saw him in the detention center, then in the first year he joined the Poison Gang, he changed his face from the inside out, and in the second year he transformed into a complete junior high school Graduated punks. His temperament, speech, and demeanor have all undergone tremendous changes. Those naive traits that were enough to expose him back then have all been polished away, replaced by cunning, sophisticated, petty cheap, and ruffian. The horses got along like a duck in water, and even learned to speak the Shan dialect shockingly, and Ah Gui didn't have to bother to cover up for him any more.
Only in front of Ah Gui will Xie Xing reveal his deeply hidden side, which is enthusiastic, optimistic, patient and full of hope. At that time, Ma Yin lived a life of spending money and singing every night. Sometimes she deliberately didn't ask Ah Gui to accompany him, so he could sneak into the poppy garden. The two brothers were lying on the grassy slope filled with the stars. The fragrance of the earth blew through the moist night wind. Xie Xinghui will babble about the happy life after the mission, imagine that Zhang Boming will help them win a big credit, and imagine that the special love team will help Ah Gui to settle down in a bustling big city; he misses more of his former college days "I don't know where Jiang Ting went after graduation?" "I wonder if I can go back to school?" "If possible, let's go to study together! At least you can come to the big class to observe!"
Agui had a general impression of Zhang Boming, so he always poured cold water on him, saying that it's better not to have high expectations for meritorious deeds. Xie Xing wasn't angry either, he kept making wishes for him and drawing big cakes, so that Agui didn't believe it, but he couldn't help but be fascinated inside, as if there was always a white and shining feather scratching on the tip of his heart.
"When did you get this tattoo?" Xie Xing was lying beside him one time and asked curiously at the tattoo on his shoulder.
"When you go down to boxing at the age of eleven."
"Why do you have to get tattoos?"
"Everyone has tattoos."
"Then why tattoo a bird?"
"Can birds fly?"
Xie Xing nodded and said casually: "Huma is based on the north wind, and the south branch of the bird's nest."
Agui turned his head and asked, "What do you mean?"
"The Huma comes from the north, so it is attached to the north wind, and the Yuebird comes from the south, so it builds its nest on the branches of the south. It is a metaphor for people who miss their homeland." Xie Xing touched his back and said, "Why don't I go too? Get a horse tattoo, bless us all successfully complete our mission and return to the north in the future, how about it?"
Agui said: "The tattoo is very painful, and it cannot be washed off if it is too large. You will not take the test in the future... Have you not taken the police medical examination?"
"Fuck it—" Xie Xing suddenly remembered: "Then I'll take the exam and get tattoos again! Who cares about this after the physical examination!"
Agui laughed dumbly, turned his brother on his elbow, and Xie Xing burst out laughing.
It would have been better if he had been tattooed at first, Wu Yu thought many years later.
Huma relies on the north wind, and the south branch of the Yue Bird's Nest. Those years of misery shining bright, those innocent and happy laughter and slapstick, in fact, have already laid the foreshadowing of tragedy in the dark.
The poppy fields were burned to the ground, and green shoots of crops grew in the fertile soil the next year. The boy stayed in that land forever and never returned to his hometown in the North Wind.
"It's him! He did it!" "Is he a note?!" "They saw him taking the note's money! He took the note's money!"
"Use him as a meat shield to go down the mountain!!" "Kill him, kill him!!"
…
The artillery boomed outside, the ground trembled faintly, and the Burmese army had already attacked. In the shadow of the swaying torches in the torture chamber, a terrifying light shot out from under Thayer's drooping eyelids, and every word was soaked with poison:
"Give Sliver a shot, pry his mouth open with a shot, and take him down the mountain in front of him."
"—Agui, you go."
Those suspicious, ferocious, greedy and bloody gazes flickered in all directions, like wild wolves staring at each other. Agui stood there, all the pictures in front of him were shaking, the light spots flickered wildly on the retina, and the eardrums rumbled like a rainstorm.
In the chaotic world, only the drop of blood left in front of him.
It was his blood brother, his bonfire of faith, his brightest, most precious and proud soul.
"Master! Master! The eldest lady is here!"
"I knew it was him... I knew it was him!! Dad! You can't let this kid die so easily, bring it to me!—"
"... Miss," Agui heard his own trembling voice say.
He looked at the cold needle of the syringe in Ma Yin's hand, all his emotions were suppressed by a more decisive and terrifying force at that moment, and he was terribly calm: "Miss."
Those three words seemed to be the god of death flapping his black wings to announce his arrival.
All the memories after that were messed up, in countless upside-down days and nights, in countless bloody nightmares that were suffocated and awakened, like a knife that slowed his brain and heart all the time.
"Let me take him away! Or I'll kill her!!"
There was a loud bang in front, the only exit of the tunnel was collapsed by the Burmese military artillery fire, the gravel and sand splashed, and the people on the back spit out large streams of blood.
"...you betrayed me for him, and you all have to die..." The girl with a dagger stuck in her chest staggered back, her dying roar tore her throat: "None of you can run away, you all have to die. !!"
The grenade threw an arc in Ah Gui Juejue's pupils, and the tunnel collapsed and exploded in the next second, burying Thayer and the chasing soldiers in the blink of an eye, and chunks of broken bricks and bricks fell on his back and shoulders like a torrential rain.
"... It's going to collapse soon, you go quickly," Xie Xing's blood gurgled dyed the fronts of the two of them red, and panted with the last of his strength: "Quick, don't mind me, you hurry up..."
"I'm not leaving." Agui sat beside the tunnel wall where the aftershocks kept shaking, hugged his only brother tightly in the dark, and said hoarsely: "There is no place for me to go, I only have you."
- Zhang Boming chose to abandon them, which means that he did not intend to keep his promise to help Agui clean up once he caught Thayer. But now that I think about it, the promise that was so cherished by them was actually an understatement from the very beginning, and it was not even said by anyone in the special affairs team at all. Paper can be exposed to the sun.
Lies weave the only hanging wire they crawl from hell back to the world, and the hanging wire is doomed to break, and they can only fall back to the abyss.
"Let's sit here for a while, and then we can go home together." Agui pressed against the cold cheek in his arms and murmured, "Aren't you going to take me home?"
"...No, Agui," Xie Xing gasped in despair, struggling to say word by word, "You can't stay, you have to move forward..."
You have to go forward.
Agui's throat twitched violently, Xie Xing grabbed his hand with all his might, and the hot blood of the two brothers fused together along the seam of the palm.
"As long as you live in my name, don't avenge me, don't avenge anyone, just keep going—"
"As long as you never look back and move forward—"
The big tears in the darkness hit the back of the hand drop by drop, merged with the blood, and swept into the turbulent ground.
As long as you don't look back, no one will know that there is a name called Ah Gui and a body called Xie Xing buried in the ground; as long as you go forward forever, you can take my soul through death and hell, Returning to the distant homeland thousands of miles away—
Your name is forever engraved in the ground, and my soul lives to the death.
One day we will all have eternal light and freedom.
