"Are you answering the phone?" In the apartment, Xu Huanyang stood by the window, his handsome face was darkened by the night, and the reflection of something unknown fell on his face, flickering, he was talking Pull up the curtains to block the view of people outside the window.
The person on the other side of the phone smiled softly: "What do you need from me?"
Rao Xu Huanyang himself, every time he hears this voice—this voice that is no different from himself, he can't help but stand on end, as if he is talking to himself: "I..."
He was about to say something when he heard a child crying on the other end of the phone.
There was a lot of trouble.
It's a girl. The immature voice of the child was already hoarse from crying, and the voice was heartbroken, calling 'Daddy' and 'Mom' again, it sounded heartbreaking.
"..."
All the words were spinning on the tip of his tongue, but in the end he couldn't say it out, Xu Huanyang's back was covered with a thin layer of cold sweat: "You still tied people to the house this time?!"
The man didn't answer him, just said: "Don't bother me if you have nothing else to do, get out."
Xu Huanyang said tremblingly, "Stop it, okay? If this goes on like this, you won't be able to turn back."
"I can't turn back anymore—" the voice suddenly rose, "Even if you want to die, you have to die with me."
Like a curse from hell.
Like a viper salivating and spitting, it is slowly approaching him. It has a slender body, climbing from the ankle all the way up to the throat, winding and tightening. Its line of sight was at the same level as his, and its cold-blooded little eyes did not blink, making one's whole body chill.
Xu Huanyang never knew that his voice could have such an effect.
"Identity, status, flowers, and applause are all yours. Now I just collected a little interest from you, so don't be so nervous."
"We are one, you are me and I am your shadow."
"Do not… "
Xu Huanyang shook his head, suddenly unable to support himself, he slid down: "No—"
"This is the last game," the voice said incomprehensible words, "the last game."
Xu Huanyang was stunned.
Call dropped.
Just a bunch of busy tones.
Xu Huanyang sat on the floor without moving for a long time, until ten minutes later, when Zhu Li called in, he barely moved a few times.
Zhu Li got straight to the point: "Have you explained it clearly to him?"
He is very anxious, he has earned enough what he should have earned in these years, and now he thinks more about how to end it. Money and fame are good things, but life is obviously more important. He even thought about announcing his retirement when the album was released.
The God of Songs retired, if it spread, it would be a good story.
And relying on those previous albums, it is enough to eat, so I don't have to worry about it for the rest of my life.
Zhu Li's tone was irritable, and Xu Huanyang was also very annoyed: "Do you think you can explain clearly? He is not stupid, he can come and go as soon as he wants? Besides, he has committed so many things now, why would he agree to have sex with us twice?" scattered."
Zhu Li: "..."
"Listen to me, we have to terminate the contract. He is too dangerous. If this continues, there are nine out of ten chances that we will finish playing together." Zhu Li has become more and more anxious recently, maybe because he is getting older, he also Nearing forty years old, the more things he has, the less decisive he is in doing things, "We have to get rid of him."
Xu Huanyang was silent for a few moments: "How?"
Wang Dui put his arms on the edge of the table, leaned over and asked, "Have you recorded it?"
In a small office, everyone is working, they wear monitor headphones, surrounded by a mess of wires and machines. With these instruments, they can easily intercept other people's calls here and eavesdrop on the content of the suspect's calls.
Xu Huanyang's number, they had already monitored it several days ago, but the things they monitored were work matters, and there was nothing related to the case.
But according to his many years of experience in the police force, it is impossible for him to sit still during this period of time.
Sure enough, within a few days, he couldn't hold back anymore and discussed with his manager how to get out.
Regardless of whether the police found him or not, the interrogation that day was a reminder to him: he had to think of a wise way to protect himself as soon as possible, and he had to protect himself.
"That was Gu Sheng's voice just now?" They played the recording and intercepted a part of it. The children's crying voice became clearer after the noise reduction process.
Gu Yanzhou rolled his Adam's apple up and down twice, and confirmed: "Yes."
dad.
Mother.
…
Shao Si stood beside him without saying a word, he just held Gu Yanzhou's hand, and only after holding it did he realize that his hand was extremely cold.
But Gu Yanzhou didn't think about it, and when he came across something, he grabbed it tightly.
Shao Si was in pain, but he didn't make a sound to remind him, allowing him to hold on like this.
Until Team Wang interrupted the silence: "Don't worry, he will definitely contact you again. Why don't you wait in the lounge first, and we will notify you as soon as we have news."
This time, the murderer did not hide it, he drove blatantly, and did not hide from various monitoring along the way. Although this is abnormal, it is extremely beneficial to them. Road monitoring is being adjusted, and I believe there will be news soon.
Just as Wang Dui finished speaking, Gu Yanzhou came back to his senses, let go of his hand, and saw the back of Shao Si's hand turn red: "I'm sorry, does it hurt?"
Shao Si moved his knuckles twice, not paying much attention: "It's okay, how about you, are you feeling better?"
"I...maybe not well."
Gu Yanzhou rubbed his temples, and continued: "I can't adjust my mood for a while. It's very late, why don't you go back first, and I'll ask the driver to drive over to pick you up."
"I won't go back," Shao Si pushed open the door of the lounge, picked a seat and sat down, "I'll be with you."
Although Gu Yanzhou spoke in a normal tone, his eyes were red and bloodshot. The man clasped his hands together, his nails almost digging into the flesh.
Shao Si reached out and fumbled in his coat pocket for a long time, and took out a pack of cigarettes, smoked one, lit it with a lighter, smoked it himself, and handed it to him: "Smoking?"
Gu Yanzhou took it.
[In this situation, it is useless to rush. ] The system said, [Since that person wants to play games with him, he must tell him the rules of the game. ]
How to win or lose.
Shao Si said: [This kind of lunatic may not give rules. ]
System: [He will. Not only is he crazy, but most of all, he's vain. ]
[Why do you seem to know him very well at this time? ]
[No, I just read a lot of psychology books in the past two days and got some inspiration. ]
Shao Si's mind is also very messed up now, and he doesn't have time to talk about this with the system: [If you have a clue, tell it, if you don't, get out. ]
System: [… no. ]
The system said again: [I'm just worried about you... ]
Shao Si: [Get out. ]
[…]
"Is the Cage of Desire script still available?" Gu Yanzhou cut it off halfway through the cigarette, threw it in the ashtray, and turned to ask, "The electronic version is also fine."
The man calmed down quite quickly. Gu Yanzhou has always been good at dealing with those useless emotions. Although his whole body is smelled of cigarettes, his thoughts are very clear.
Shao Si said: "Yes, I will look for it."
In the work group he joined before, Shao Si found the group file marked with the word 'script' and downloaded it again.
This work group has been silent for a long time, and the last one was sent by Director Fang: Take care, everyone.
The displayed time is more than half a month ago.
There were only the two of them in the living room. Although there is no need to say much, each can feel the existence of the other. Gu Yanzhou watched the scenes related to "Caesar" - that is, the last unit, from beginning to end, from character actions, language to psychological activities and monologues.
For this role, Gu Yanzhou has never been interested in it before, and there is no special reason, but it doesn't fit well.
However, because Shao Si wanted to try this role before, he hastily flipped through it twice, but that was when Shao Si asked him to act as a rehearsal, and he didn't think about it carefully.
If the other party insists on playing this with him.
…
The loser doesn't know who it will be.
It's past one o'clock in the morning.
Gu Yanzhou received another text message: No. 170 Xiangshan Road, come by yourself, right now, right now. Didn't see you at two o'clock, I'm not sure what's going to happen.
"Xiangshan Road?" Dui Wang said, "It's not much different from the place we've tracked so far. It shouldn't be a falsely reported address."
After Wang Dui finished speaking, he turned his head and ordered: "Go and find out, what is this number 170?"
From the moment Shao Si saw the address on the text message, he felt vaguely impressed, but couldn't figure out where it was for a while: "Xiangshan Road... No. 170. Is it a tavern?... No, it seems to be underground bar."
He remembered correctly, it was indeed a bar.
Moreover, this place has been abandoned many years ago. The boss moved away and left in a hurry. The store has not even found another one to take over, and it has been empty all the time.
"you've been to?"
Shao Si rubbed his nose: "When I was in school, I skipped class with my friends." But he just entered the door, and was smoked by the smoky and vulgar scene inside.
There is smoke and wine, alternating red and purple lighting effects, and bodies that are clinging together and twisting each other.
"I'll go alone." After getting the address, Gu Yanzhou took his coat and got up to leave.
It's not easy for Team Wang to ask them to follow. If they find that the police are following, the prisoner may do something.
They can't take the risk.
In the end, a miniature communicator was installed in Gu Yanzhou's ear, which was the same as the one they had used before. It was hidden in the ear so that it would not be discovered, and it would also allow them to know the situation inside in time.
It was already 1:06 when Gu Yanzhou set off.
2:00 is the death line, and there is no delay for a minute or a second.
Shao Si didn't delay him, he wanted to say too much, in the end he clenched his fists and let go, and only said: "Be careful."
Gu Yanzhou lowered his head and branded a kiss on his lips. It was windy outside and the temperature was low at night. There was no warmth on his lips, but the words in his mouth were indeed extremely wild: "I have a little confidence in your man, I have never lost. But he, who dared to touch me, became impatient."
