"Report Deputy Liao, Deputy Liao, we are about to arrive at the Xinxiang Broken Bridge! The Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Bureau and the local county government have notified them one by one. The Ninghe County Hospital has dispatched an ambulance, and the firetruck is on its way. We are expected to be there in ten minutes…”
The siren galloped down the highway, and the rushing voice of the police came from the walkie-talkie, but Liao Gang turned a deaf ear. From just now until now, he dialed the mobile number that Bu Chonghua was carrying for the 18th time, and he was almost desperate. .
beep —
Meanwhile, the highway bridge.
As soon as Bu Chonghua exerted his strength, Wu Yu jumped over the bridge railing and fell to the ground, panting and raising his head to look at him. But Bu Chonghua didn't respond. He lowered his eyes with a sullen face, grabbed Wu Yu's arm with one hand and answered the call from the Bluetooth headset: "Hello, Liao Gang?"
"That's great, team, you finally answered the phone! How's the situation over there? The fire trucks and ambulances are on their way, and we have ten minutes to do..."
"Understood. Bu Chonghua interrupted him in a deep voice, raised his head to look around, took the flaming frame and the corpse of the drug dealer's horse into his eyes, and said, "Wu Yu was seriously injured, and the ambulance was too late. I'll take him to Ninghe County Hospital first, and I'll talk about other things later. "
"But… "
Bu Chonghua didn't listen any more, he kept his half-kneeling posture, cut off the call, and turned to Wu Yu.
Wu Yu could no longer support his entire body weight, and most of them were leaning against the bridge railings, curled up on the blood-mud-dappled asphalt road. In this way, he looked very thin, his shirt was stained with blood and mud, and the blood dripped from his black temples across his cheeks and fell into the appalling white collar.
He just stared at Bu Chonghua in a daze, his dry lips parted, as if he wanted to kiss him but didn't dare.
Bu Chonghua didn't seem to see this subtle movement, and asked every word: "Who is Ah Gui?"
The moment he heard these two words, Wu Yu's face lost all blood, as if he had been immobilized, and after a while he murmured a word:
"you… "
"It takes 40 minutes to drive from here to Ninghe County Hospital. You can choose to come up with a rhetoric to deal with me within these 40 minutes, or you can say nothing and face Jin alone after 40 minutes. The Maritime Bureau and the Ministry of Public Security."
Bu Chonghua leaned over Wu Yu's ear, every word was cold and clear:
"If they decide to give up on you, then the last thing I will do for you is to send you back to Yundian with my own hands."
"Wu Yu, you choose."
Wu Yu opened his eyes slightly, tears mixed with blood solidified in the corners of his eyes, reflecting the vaguely interlaced red and blue police lights in the distant wilderness. After an unknown time, his choked voice finally oozes out of the wind: "...I don't want to go back to Yundian..."
The end sound was hoarse to the extreme, with an indescribable whimper in a trance.
He bowed his head deeply, like a bruised chick trying his best to indent into his wings, blindly seeking the trace of shelter that didn't exist, but he had nothing to gain except to tug on the wound and cause more severe pain. Electric tremors covered his whole body, as if after a long time, he seemed to realize that there was no room for evasion today, and finally squeezed out the last bit of courage from his chest, and asked desperately:
"…Can you kiss me again?"
"As long as you kiss me again, I'll tell you, I'll… tell you everything."
Bu Chonghua's hand finally lifted up.
His fingers were still trembling slightly—because shooting at close range to kill was a huge psychological impact even for Bu Chonghua, although this was not the first time in his life that he had exercised the legal right to kill, even though Ma Yin was a man who attacked a police officer with a gun and was full of evil. drug dealer. The next moment, Wu Yu felt that his cheeks were pressed against the hot palms. They sat in the fire and smoke, approaching each other, and kissed each other's cold lips.
With a whistle, the night wind grew stronger, sending billowing black smoke into the sky and disappearing over the boundless wilderness.
"... I'm sorry I lied to you, Agui is my benefactor."
Wu Yu lowered his head and rubbed his face vigorously, before raising his red eyes after a long while. There seemed to be a hot and sour lump in his throat, and every word was suppressed to the point of changing the tone:
"Ten years ago in Liangji Mountain on the Sino-Myanmar border, he bombed the Hongshan torture chamber to save me and buried himself in the tunnel, but I couldn't let anyone know of his existence."
"Because he's a drug dealer."
Although Bu Chonghua was mentally prepared, when he actually heard it, his heart sank heavily—drug dealer.
"...How did you meet him?"
"In the second year of my sophomore year, I was an intern, and I carried out an arrest mission with the anti-drug team." Wu Yu said hoarsely: "The first time I met him, he saved my life."
—The flames crackled and burned, like a long and mournful elegy, whistling across the mountains and rivers, passing the silent sirens in the distance.
The past that no one knows, the green and secret years, gradually disappeared in the rapid flashing red and blue light.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-
A police car surrounded the KTV, and roars came from the walkie-talkie: "Report to the command center to report to the command center, action information leaked, must be arrested in advance!" "Both sides of the transaction found us! A5 team outflanked the third stronghold! "No, the two sellers broke through the encirclement and ran away from the fire escape!!"
The young Xie Xing squatted outside the fire corridor, tightly holding the 54-style with only one bullet in his hand, no one could hear his breathing clearer and more trembling; The sound of footsteps, two swaying figures rushed out one after another, the target drug dealer!
"Stand-uh!"
Before the warning could exit, he was blocked by a sudden force behind him. Xie Xing only felt that someone covered his mouth, so that he was dragged into the bushes before he could even struggle, and countless tiny branches and leaves were slamming in front of him: "Don't move, don't make a sound."
The voice was unexpectedly very light, and what was even lighter was the razor blade in the throat, which was flashing a sharp and subtle cold light, reflecting the cold sweat that slowly slipped from Xie Xing's chin.
"Do you want to die, little policeman?" The man leaned into his ear like that, with an inaudible sneer: "Didn't those two see the grenades in their trouser pockets?"
Xie Xing's eyes suddenly widened, and he watched the two drug dealers quickly disappear into the dark back alley, then suddenly broke free with a back elbow, and turned back sharply—
The uninvited guest in the dimness stepped back half a step, the two looked at each other, and he saw a pair of young and quiet eyes.
It was Xie Xing's first encounter with Agui, but it was only an encounter, because the other party quickly evacuated from the arrest scene, and was as agile as a wild cheetah, unable to make any sound.
At that time, he did not know why this young man of his own age was in that place at that time, nor did he know what role the other party played in the gang of drug dealers; because no one blamed him for not stopping him after the mission was over. Two armed drug dealers, so he didn't mention the hasty adventure to anyone.
Although he didn't know what odd motive for concealing it.
What he didn't even know was that the second chance encounter came so unexpectedly just half a month later.
"All the suspects are escorted into the car, hurry up and inform the people from the drug control center to 'order the goods'..." "Fuck it, at least two kilograms, the index for this season is stable!" "Are the scene cleaned up, are you sure you've caught it all?" "Hey! Hey, a few interns! Take a look again!"
…
Footsteps came and went outside the warehouse, and there was a lot of voices, and the traffic of the Public Security Bureau, Procuratorate, and Drug Control Institute couldn't get through. The warehouses that have been captured are full of mess, and several flashlights swept back and forth on the dusty ground and the walls covered with cobwebs.
"Almost understand Xiaojie! Let's go!"
"Hey!"
Xie Xing turned around, and suddenly saw a piece of oilcloth covered with discarded wood in the corner, and suddenly a strange feeling came to his heart, and he walked over with a slap and opened it, throwing up dust that was half a person's height. .
The next moment he was stunned.
The messy light of the scene was projected from outside the door, extending a light band. At the end of the band of light was the bloodstained young man curled up in the corner. He covered his bleeding flank with one hand, raised his dark eyes and looked at Xie Xing, his face pale and bloodless, his lips tightly pursed. Sudden and deep shadows.
Every second suddenly became incomparably stalemate and long, and after an unknown amount of time, the young man finally waved his hand gently—dang!
A black thing was thrown at Xie Xing's feet, a gun.
"Xiao Xie!" Someone called him in the distance, "Have you found anything? Get ready to go!"
Xie Xing closed his eyes, and in that short moment, made a decision that would overturn the fate of the two of them.
He leaned over to pick up the gun, unloaded the unloaded bullet into his pocket, threw the gun back to the young man, turned and put down the tarpaulin and strode out.
"I didn't find it!" he said loudly, "Wait for me, here I come!"
"—Because of this? Just because he saved you once during an arrest, and you risk fingerprinting the drug dealer's gun and keeping the bullets exposed, and let go of an unidentified person who showed up at the scene of the transaction ?"
The big silver G was speeding along the highway. Wu Yu was leaning against the co-pilot in his clothes. From the side mirror, he saw the broken high-speed bridge surrounded by police lights in the distance. The fire truck was spraying water urgently at the burning jeep. He is getting further and further away.
"Yes," he said wearily, "just because of that."
Bu Chonghua turned his head while driving, only to see Wu Yuxiao's pale cheeks.
"… Then what?" he asked after a moment of silence.
"He later became my informant."
Bu Chonghua was startled.
"There is no record, no approval, or even time to make a paper record. There is nothing that can be used as evidence." Wu Yu closed his eyes and said, "I regret it for many years."
The drizzle of the cow drizzled, the wet eaves on both sides of the hutong became black and shiny, and the ground was covered with slippery moss. Xie Xing pushed open the dilapidated courtyard in the deepest part of the narrow alley. During the daytime, the room was as dark as evening. There were scattered medicine bottles and medicine boards under the light like beans at the head of the bed. piled to the bottom of the bed.
The young man was leaning against the head of the bed, topless, holding up half a bottle of spirits and pouring it over the wound on his abdomen, he gritted his teeth and tried his best to lean back, exposing his blue-veined throat.
But there was no sound between his teeth, everything seemed like a suppressed pantomime, only the dull sound of his feet kicking on the bedboard during severe pain.
The rain fell from the tiles, hitting the bluestone slab drop by drop, leaving dents that have been etched over the years.
…
"Last night there was a riot of mice in the back of the house. The cat next door knocked over the flower pot opposite the door. This morning, the two aunties blocked the alley and scolded each other for a long time." A piece of roast chicken smiled in the warm air and said, "The girl at the end of the alley is secretly falling in love with the boy from the opposite door, but I don't see it very long. In all likelihood, it will dissipate soon... Hey, don't you eat it?"
Xie Xing put the anti-inflammatory medicine he brought on the cabinet like drinking water, and shook his head: "I bought it for you, I don't eat animal meat."
The young man was thoughtful and said nothing.
"You shouldn't go to the hospital, you will get infected if you go on like this."
"You shouldn't go to class either, or you will fail the class."
Xie Xing turned his head, the young man avoided his gaze and looked at the drizzle outside the window lattice.
"...I think I'll take the time to report your case." Xie Xing sighed, continued to organize the bottles, and said, "Now there is no one who knows, it would be too dangerous if something happened. I have A senior named Zhang…”
"Don't worry, the votes will be bigger."
With a bang, Xie Xing slammed the medicine bottle on the table, "How big is it? How big do you want it to be? What should I do if something goes wrong? How can I save you, and what can I say?"
"… "
The suffocating silence once again enveloped the entire courtyard, no one uttered a word, only the long and short breathing of each other was heard in the room.
After a long time, Xie Xing finally reluctantly suppressed his emotions and spit out a few words: "Agui, listen to me..."
But then he was interrupted by the young man: "No."
"you… "
"They won't believe me, the value of catching me is greater than believing me." The young man put down his chopsticks, rubbed his face with his palms, and said in a low voice, "Xie Xing, you think you can explain things that are difficult in this world. In fact, everyone in this world thinks that other people's hardships are as light as a feather, and only their own feelings are as heavy as a feather. You still have a future, and I don't want to implicate you. Let's talk about it when you have the confidence to make a big vote next time. "
A sour and angry Xing Xing rushed to his heart: "But you can't always hope for the next time! You—"
The answer to him was always silence and avoidance.
"I don't think you will ever be able to build up this confidence!" Xie Xing couldn't bear to drop a sentence, pushed the door and strode out of the small courtyard shrouded in gloomy water vapor, leaving only the young man sitting alone in the shadows.
…
"Why do you say that catching him is worth more than believing him?"
"Because he was already famous at that time." Wu Yu said lightly, "The Golden Triangle drug lord Thayer's, Ma Yin's confidant, outstanding subordinate, can even be sent to the northern city to escort the drug dealers to open up new routes. Catch him. It's a great achievement, but if you don't catch it, you have to gamble with a suit of clothes, not everyone dares to take such a risk."
In fact, what Agui said back then was that he was far more sober than Xie Xing who had been fighting for his life on the border for so many years—the praise Xie Xing received was definitely not enough to be any bargaining chip, let alone convince the organization to pay attention to Myanmar. Ji's Agui bet the slightest trust.
Forbearance, saving chips, and betting at the last moment is the best solution for Agui to break the game.
But what no one thought was that before they could get the chance to gamble, the drug net lurking in this area found him first.
"Hu, hu... Hu..." Xie Xing ran fast in the alley in the dark night, stopped suddenly, and quickly turned to hide in the corner. Through the cracks in the bricks, he saw the lights on the road. Three or four people were bringing Ah Gui into the car, and one of them whispered, "Miss knows that you are trapped here and can't get out, and you are very worried. Let's take advantage of these few days. The wind is quiet, hurry up and leave the country via Yundian…”
Xie Xing's eyes widened and he gritted his teeth tightly, unable to make a sound.
Agui was wrapped in a black hoodie, jeans and high-top boots, and only one side of his pale face was exposed under the brim of his hat. He stopped in front of the open car door, as if he suddenly remembered something, and as if he was waiting for a footstep that was destined to never come again, he just stood there quietly, looking at the endless stone road in the dark night under his feet.
Those few people stopped one after another: "What?" "What's wrong?"
…
Severe pain pierced into the nerve center from Xie Xing's ten fingers. That was because he was digging hard at the wall, and there were even tiny bloodshots oozing from the slits of his fingernails.
They can feel each other's closeness, but they can never look back and give each other another look.
"...It's nothing," Ah Gui lowered his head and said hoarsely, leaning over and getting into the car door.
The red taillights gradually faded away, disappearing into the depths of the night. No one knows the shabby and dilapidated courtyard deep in the alley after the smoke has cleared, the black tiles in the drizzle and the stone steps covered with moss; no one knows how the strange fateful encounter that autumn will change completely. The rest of their lives.
"That was the last time we saw each other that year. Later, I went back to school and lost any news of him. The following year, Zhang Boming was selected into a special intelligence team under the Ministry of Public Security, planning to infiltrate and infiltrate border drug trafficking networks. To strike, they need to select a group of low-level lurkers who have no background and can be modified and shaped at will like blank paper, and I recommended myself to him."
The highway in the dark night gradually came to an end. In the distance, it was the Ninghe County Hospital.
"They portrayed you as a junior high school graduate under the pseudonym Xie Qianshan, and sent you to the Jinkang District Detention Center, where you met Ah Gui again?" Bu Chonghua asked in a deep voice.
"Yes." Wu Yu was wrapped in Bu Chonghua's police uniform jacket, his whole body was so light that he seemed to have no weight, as if he would be submerged in the spacious co-pilot at any time, "I went in in the name of assisting drug transport, Jinkang District. It was close to the border, so Agui soon heard the news. He knew that I was there to find him, so he wanted to endure until I couldn’t stand it any longer, so he reported that he was off duty and went back to school, but he didn’t expect Liu Dong to have a high financial year in prison. Those old inmates did it first. In the end, he had no choice but to bring people across the border to rob the prison and take me to the site of Thayer, the Golden Triangle drug lord, where he also met Mahin."
Wu Yu had already lost a lot of blood, and the last few words were hoarse. He leaned his head against the car window, the blood-stained jawbone was dazzling white in the brighter and brighter streetlights, shaking feebly as the vehicle jolted rapidly.
呲 - Bu Chonghua's face was sinking like water, he slammed on the brakes and turned on the lights, the big G turned into a silver afterimage and rushed through the intersection. The emergency channel of the hospital in the distance was opened, flashing a rapid red light.
"I spent three years there until Arthur Hodgson was invited by Thayer to Mount Liangji. Agui and I both felt that if we could take this opportunity to catch the Sharks' safety chief and destroy Thayer's entire Drug gangs, that should be the best chance to put an end to this kind of life... lurking in the enemy's territory, one day, two days, one month, two months, one year, two years, all your beliefs in justice, all The passion for sacrifice wears out quickly, and at the end of the day you just want to end it as soon as possible... whatever happens, you just want to end it as soon as possible."
Wu Yu closed his eyes, his eyelashes covered the blue-gray eyelids. For several seconds, his consciousness was in a trance, and his soul flew up gently, as if he was about to fall into a deep sleep.
"You know what happened next." He murmured like that, "Actually, there is so much luck in this world. When I sent out the location of Hodgson's helicopter, I exposed it directly in front of Thayer. I The only luck is that someone is willing to die to save me."
"...Agui...Agui! Agui!!..."
"Come on, go, I can't help you..."
"Hold on a little longer, please! Please!!"
The dying gasp was shorter than the one, and the tunnel in the distance continued to collapse. Through the piles of bricks and earth, there was a sound that was getting closer and closer.
Xie Xing couldn't move anymore, he couldn't even see the familiar face in his arms and the eyes that were getting more and more scattered. He grasped that hand in vain, feeling the blood overflowing from the seams of the palms that were attached to each other, dropping drop by drop into the ground, penetrating the lush mountains and peaks, and disappearing in the vast and boundless land.
"You have to live, go forward and never look back..."
You have to pass through the blazing villages, across the devastated land, you have to avoid ghosts and ghosts and the vast sea of people, until the last moment of the journey, standing in the sun to embrace eternal liberation and freedom.
…
G65 stopped abruptly, and Bu Chonghua picked up Wu Yu and rushed towards the stretcher.
The emergency red light flashed so hard that people couldn't open their eyes, the boiling voices turned into a blurred distant background, and there was silence except for the whirring of the wind.
"—Wu Yu, you are the most brilliant narrator I've ever seen," he ran following the stretcher in the silence, and whispered softly against Wu Yu's ear, "I don't believe this story."
Wu Yu closed his eyes, his mind was dizzy, and blood fell silently to the ground from between Bu Chonghua's fingers.
"You describe the story as a tragedy full of ambiguity and hints of fate, but you can't justify it in the most critical logic. Why did Ah Gui appear in that place at that time and randomly stop a trainee police officer who happened to be ambushing there. ;Why do you block him behind you the second you see him, even at the risk of being discovered and fired or even deceived to death? Zhang Boming is among hundreds of older and more experienced candidates He is not afraid that a police officer who is not in the world will be lured or even turned against by drug dealers? He sent you to the chaotic and violent border detention center thirteen years ago. What makes him sure that someone will make a desperate attempt to cross the border to sacrifice his life Prison?"
"Behind all the ambiguous plots that you want to talk about is the most sober and cruel logic chain. There is something stronger between you and Agui, which is enough to win each other's trust at the first sight of each other, and even enough to convince Zhang Boming. Bet your fortune and wealth on this twelve-year-long game, and make a mistake and pay the abyss's huge gamble."
The heavy iron wheels of the stretcher rolled over the ground, the medical staff hurriedly ran, and the emergency equipment beeped.
The night wind swirled straight up with a roar, and disappeared above the dimly lit sky.
Bu Chonghua stood still, white light shone from the operating room, sketching his cold and deep face on one side, while the other side was hidden in the thick shadow of the night outside the door. A drop of scarlet slowly condensed.
"But that's okay," he said almost silently, "I still love you."
Even though we both have some secrets to hide from each other, I still love you.
I will go to the long night alone, to find the justice and fairness hidden behind the years.
