what the murderer wants to do
Chapter 1 When he arrived in the living room, he saw his boss leaning on the sofa alone.
It's time to ask the fourth child about it.
But the fourth child said that he heard these things from A Dao.It wasn't until Ah Dao had an accident that he realized that something was wrong, and then he thought about sending a message to the branch office.
But Ah Dao is dead, and it is not easy to find out from a dead person who asked him to bully Chu Chengcheng.
"It's okay, it's okay." Chu Chengcheng cried so hard that Wang Zhiheng couldn't stand it, "Don't run around these two days, stay with Xue Huai obediently, pay attention to safety, what can I do for you? Call up."
But his consolation was useless. I don't know if it was his illusion. After hearing his words, Chu Chengcheng seemed to cry even harder.
"Cheng Cheng!"
Seeing Chu Chengcheng come out of the interrogation room, Xue Huai, who had finally calmed down, rushed up directly: "What did he do to you?!"
"How do you talk, kid!" Wang Zhiheng stared, if it wasn't for Xu Xiao's face, he would definitely beat this guy to death until the other party learned to speak!
Chu Chengcheng seemed to be completely terrified, and regardless of whether there were other people in the police station, he threw himself into Xue Huai's arms, buried his face in front of Xue Huai's chest, and was unwilling to raise his head no matter what.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Xue Huai hugged him, patted his back lightly, but looked at Wang Zhiheng.
what happened?He also stared boldly at Wang.
"Someone died." Wang Zhiheng didn't intend to hide it from Xue Huai, "It might have something to do with Chu Chengcheng."
"You know the bullying that day..." Xue Huai sneered before he finished speaking.
"Good death!" If it weren't for the evidence of surveillance, Wang Zhiheng would definitely arrest this guy, "I'll beat him up if I don't mind!"
"Okay, okay!" The brain circuit of the other party is different from that of normal people, Wang boldly didn't want to say a word, "You take good care of him these two days, don't make any mistakes."
"You don't need to worry about it." Xue Huai rolled his eyes, and directly hugged Chu Chengcheng, "You don't come to make trouble, I will be thankful!"
Looking at his back, Xiao Chu and Xiao Fang looked at each other, and they both saw the exclamation of "talent!" in each other's eyes.
------------
After being questioned for several hours, the fourth child was finally able to go home temporarily.
He recalled the back and forth with the police just now, and sighed heavily.
Ah Dao is dead, so it's not a big deal to push the matter on the other party.
He thought for a while, stared at the phone for a while, and dialed a number.
"Hello?" The phone went through, "I'm looking for Lin Jixiang."
"Who knows where he died! Stop beating!" A female voice came out sharply from the loudspeaker, "Beat me every day, tell you he's not at home these days, kill me!"
After yelling a sentence, the other party hangs up the phone neatly.
The fourth child held his mobile phone and stood there, thoughtful.
☆, day and night (15)
"Uncle Xu."
Xue Huai lowered his eyebrows and looked down, and sat obediently on the sofa.A head of red hair was attached softly to the back of his head, making his eyebrows and eyes more and more profound.
"It's rare." Unexpectedly, Xue Huai would take the initiative to come to the door, Xu Xiao was a little surprised.
But after all, he was the one who watched him grow up day after day since he was a child, so he couldn't block people at the door to prevent them from entering.
Furthermore, Xu Xiao was also curious, what could make Xue Huai come to him in person.
"..." Pei Jiuchuan still found this kid not pleasing to the eye, because of his boss's face, and he couldn't show his dislike too clearly, so he could only change his position silently.
Xu Xiao was surprised, and Xue Huai was even more surprised.He came here today to find out from Xu Xiao, but he didn't expect that there was someone in the other's family.
He glanced calmly at the young master who was looking at him with his chin down, and after some thought in his heart, he took his gaze back.
"Do you remember the last time I was called to the police station?" Xue Huai looked at Xu Xiao again.
"What?" Xu Xiao frowned. "Don't tell me you really got involved?"
He knew Xue Huai's temper, he was aggressive, and he rarely committed offense at critical moments.Besides, what happened last time has nothing to do with the other party in terms of evidence. What is the reason for bringing this up now?
"It's not me." Xue Huai's face was not very good-looking, he pursed his lips, "Yesterday Cheng Cheng was called over."
Xu Xiao paused for a moment: "Chu Chengcheng?"
"Yeah." Xue Huai scratched his head, "I heard from Cheng Cheng that another one of those people died."
His words were very flat, and only when he mentioned his lover's name did he feel a little cautious, as if he would smash Chu Chengcheng into pieces if he spoke a little louder.
"What does it have to do with him?" Xu Xiao couldn't help but look at Xue Huai more.
Xue Huai said nothing, he was silent for a while, but looked at Pei Jiuchuan.
"It's okay." Sensing Xue Huai's hesitation, Xu Xiao nodded at him, "You explain the matter clearly first, no one here will speak out."
After getting the guarantee, Xue Huai still frowned, seeming very unhappy.
He took a deep breath for a long time, suppressed the fire in his heart, and then said word by word: "That day, Cheng Cheng and I had a little disagreement, so I left him at home alone and went back by myself."
Mentioning this matter, the boy's face showed obvious annoyance and frustration, and the hands on his knees were unconsciously clenched, and the nails sank into the palm of his hand, leaving a deep mark.
"Then..." Xue Huai's voice dropped, "He was bullied by those people again."
The expressions on Xu Xiao and Pei Jiuchuan's faces froze.
Xue Huai didn't pay attention to the expressions of the adults. He clenched his fists and continued, "I asked him which ones they were, but he refused to tell me. I didn't know that someone died there until I was called by the police yesterday."
"..." Xu Xiao didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while, and after thinking about it, he asked, "Where's your alibi?"
"Cheng Cheng and I stay at home, and there are surveillance cameras in the community." However, Xue Huai didn't care about this matter, and he was a bit perfunctory when answering.
His hands loosened and tightened, as if hesitating for something.
Xu Xiao didn't urge him. Seeing this, Xue Huai seemed to have something else he couldn't talk about.
After hesitating for a long time, fine sweat dripped from his forehead, and finally, Xue Huai closed his eyes: "I heard from the police, it seems that someone ordered them to bully Cheng Cheng, and then that person took the bully Cheng Cheng killed."
"Eh?" Pei Jiuchuan originally planned to be a silent observer, but Xue Huai's words made him unable to understand, "What did you say?"
Is the other party full?
Xue Huai opened his eyes again, and saw Xu Xiao's expression was exactly the same as that of the little policeman.Apparently neither of them understood what he was talking about.
"He..." Xue Huai didn't know how to express it, his tongue was almost twisted in one place.
"That one is dead." The boy closed his eyes wearily, "He...did some rather excessive things to Cheng Cheng."
Pei Jiuchuan glanced at Xu Xiao.
"...Huh?" Xu Xiao could only look at Xue Huai again.
Xue Huai bit her lip, using a lot of strength, a little blood oozing faintly.
Xu Xiao had never seen Xue Huai like this.
"You..." He said a little worriedly.
"I'm fine." Xue Huai swallowed the fishy sweetness in his throat, and after a while, he said, "That person probably... likes Cheng Cheng."
What he said was ambiguous, but the two adults understood immediately.
"Cheng Cheng was terrified." Xue Huai lowered his head, crossed his hands together, and twisted vigorously, "I don't know what to do."
If there was any dissatisfaction with Xue Huai before, after hearing these words, Pei Jiuchuan would not care about competing with Xue Huai.
"Don't worry." Xu Xiao didn't expect to come out like this, the most urgent thing is to appease Xue Huai first, "Does Chu Chengcheng know who it is...?"
Xue Huai shook his head: "If he knew, he would have told me a long time ago, it is impossible to hide it from me."
That's true, judging from Chu Chengcheng's dependence on Xue Huai, he would definitely tell him as soon as he encountered such a thing.
He continued: "Uncle Xu...I...what should I do."
The rebellious young man showed a rare expression of bewilderment, and even the color of his hair seemed to have dimmed a lot.
The matter was suddenly difficult, and for a while, Xu Xiao didn't dare to make any promises to the other party.
He lowered his head and thought for a while: "You should stay with him now, and leave the rest to the police."
Hearing this, Xue Huai pursed her lips.
"Chu Chengcheng is at home alone when you come to us?" Pei Jiuchuan suddenly thought of this, "That person won't..."
"I locked the door with a key from the outside before I came out, it's fine." Xue Huai's shoulders were stiffened, and the gloomy look between his brows was not less than half, "At this time, I'm sure..."
"You should spend more time with him." Xu Xiao and Wang Zhiheng had the same opinion before, "Don't run around these few days, if you need anything, you can contact Team Wang or me. Don't let Chu Chengcheng go out by himself. "
Xue Huai nodded.
There was really nothing to say, and the atmosphere in the living room was a little stiff.
"That's right." Seeing that the boss didn't speak, Pei Jiuchuan smiled at Xue Huai for the first time, "How did you and Chu Chengcheng get together?"
He had been pondering this question for a long time in private, and no matter how he thought about it, he never thought about how the two people got in touch.
Mentioning this matter, Xue Huai relaxed a lot, his tensed shoulders slowly collapsed, and there was a gleam in his eyes.
"We..." He touched his head a little shyly, "At that time, I was wandering in the street and suddenly bumped into him and was blocked by a gangster, and then we knew each other."
The corner of Xue Huai's mouth twitched into a smile, as if he was immersed in the moment when he protected the young man behind his back when they first met.
------------
Counting today, the fourth child has not seen Lin Jixiang for almost a week.
Today's temperature is not as high as the previous few days, and the clouds are rolling in the sky, and it looks like it will rain at any time.
Although he promised the sub-bureau not to run around outside, but thinking about Lin Jixiang's side, the fourth child still took a while to go out.
He knew little about Lim Kit Siang's family situation, only that the parents didn't care much about their children.Although he and Lin Jixiang have been in the relationship between the perpetrator and the victim for a long time, from this point of view, the two people are connected.
Standing in front of the anti-theft door, the fourth child thought about the words he had prepared before knocking on the door.
After knocking several times, he heard a little movement.
Five minutes later, the small window on the security door was opened.
A pair of hangover eyes popped out, circling around the fourth child: "Who are you?"
"Hello, Uncle." The fourth child smiled at the man, "I'm Jixiang's classmate, and I'm here to give him his homework."
"Throw it at the door." Hearing the second part of his words, the man lost all interest. He put down three words and closed the small window without waiting for the fourth child to respond.
"..." The fourth child was still holding up his blank summer homework, but with just a few words, he got his nose dusted.
He didn't feel too bad about being turned away.After thinking about it, he tiptoed downstairs, took out his cell phone, and sat down in the gazebo downstairs.
He was playing a game in his hand, but the fourth brother was staring at the corridor entrance from the corner of his eye.
A few hours later, Lin Jixiang's father came out crookedly from the unit door. Looking at his disheveled appearance, he probably got drunk at home.
As he was walking, he made a phone call: "Old Zhang! Go... go to Lao Wang's house for a drink! Hurry up! I'm missing you!"
The man's footsteps were sloppy, and he took two steps sideways. Obviously, the alcohol had gone to his head.
The fourth child held his breath, waited for the man to walk for a while, and then got into the corridor.
I don't know if I should say he was lucky, but this time, the small window opened again.
"Don't buy things that are on sale!" The eyes rolled up by themselves, but the voice changed into a sharp female voice.
"Auntie!" This time, the fourth child uttered before the small window closed, "I'm the one who called a few days ago!"
"Troublemaker, it's you." Half of the eyebrows were raised, "Why? If Lin Jixiang owes you money, you can ask him for it! Don't ask me! I have no money!"
"..." Now, the fourth child finally understood why Lin Jixiang would rather run out than go home when he was directly downstairs.
"No." He waved his hands hastily, "I'm here to ask auspicious homework questions."
After finishing speaking, he raised the blank summer homework again.
The woman snorted coldly: "He hasn't come back for several days! Go ask the ghost!"
"Hey!" Sensing that the woman wanted to close the door, the fourth child was a little anxious, "Auntie! Your son hasn't been seen for such a long time, aren't you worried about him?"
"What does it have to do with me?" The woman frowned in surprise, "For a man of his age, could he die outside?"
The fourth child couldn't believe that this was what the other party said. He was taken aback for a moment, and the woman seized this opportunity and slammed the small window shut.
The cicada on the tree sang twice, as if mocking the ignorance of the fourth child.
Lim Kit Siang... He sat on the stairs and stroked his hair.
Are you still alive?
He faintly looked forward to it, but along with the expectation, there was a deeper fear.
The author has something to say: When love is in excess, it brings sa man no honor or worthiness.

☆, day and night (16)
"You don't even know what I've been living these two days!"
Wang Zhiheng grabbed Xu Xiao's shoulder, and Pei Jiuchuan frowned: "It's life-threatening!"
Mengmeng preliminarily judged that the time of A Dao's death should be between [-]:[-] pm and [-]:[-] pm.The footprints at the scene have been artificially destroyed, and it is impossible to find effective evidence from the traces left behind.
Similarly, the murder weapon was not left at the scene, and valid fingerprints were not extracted from Ah Dao's clothing.
For a while, the sub-bureau could only figure out A Dao's interpersonal relationship while trying to find some clues from the surrounding surveillance.
"Could you give advice to the municipal government at the next meeting, quickly tear down these abandoned buildings, and install more cameras!" Wang Zhiheng raised his head and took a big sip of tea, "What's the use of just staring at the main road! No! Do you know that this kind of broken alley is the high incidence of cases!"
"...you drank too much" Xu Xiao glanced at the tea in the opponent's hand, without changing his face.
"I'd rather be that I drank too much." Wang Zhiheng slammed the cup on the table unwillingly, and Niannian, who was watching the animation, was so frightened that he looked at them several times, "When I wake up, there will be no such case. How nice!"
"..." Pei Jiuchuan decided to play dead.
"Where's Chu Chengcheng?" Xu Xiao had long been used to Wang Zhiheng's temper, so he didn't move his eyebrows, "Still don't know anything?"
"The child is almost scared to death, what can I ask?" Wang boldly took another sip of tea, "Let's talk..."
What the fourth child offered was only a possibility, and it was impossible for the police to put all their chips on this possibility.
Of course, Wang Zhiheng also asked people to investigate Chu Chengcheng's interpersonal relationship, and then came back empty-handed, and was scolded bloody by him.
Chu Chengcheng's life is the same as that of all good students, and there is nothing particularly worthy of attention.Go to and from school regularly every day and study hard.
The only surprise might be the inexplicably extra Xue Huai.
"No way?" After hearing Wang Zhiheng's words, Xu Xiao was a little surprised, "Is there anything wrong?"
"Really, why would I lie to you." Wang boldly grimaced, "That kid is so obedient, I can't find anything wrong with him."
Xu Xiao paused: "I heard from Xue Huai that the first time the two of them met was when he happened to meet Chu Chengcheng and was bullied."
Calculated in this way, at least Chu Chengcheng had been bullied at least three times.Normal people have to think about who they offended when they meet each other once. Why is it that Chu Chengcheng is still not enlightened at all after three times in a row?
"..." Wang Zhiheng couldn't answer this question, he scratched his head, "How about I ask him again?"
"Forget it." Xu Xiao looked at the other party's fierce expression, "Go ahead and check yours, and I'll help you here."
"I knew you were the best for me!" Wang Zhiheng slapped the table, "Hey, what I told you last time is to live with a partner..."
"Captain Wang!" Pei Jiuchuan snatched the tea from his hand, "You're drunk!"
"...Who is it?" The dazed Wang boldly touched his nose after being pushed out of the door, "Oh no! Pei Jiuchuan! How can you stay at his house! Open the door for me! !!"
------------
"I said..." Pei Jiuchuan slowed down the car a little, "Do you really think that... the pervert did it?"
Although this is not unreasonable, the young master still feels that this reason is too far-fetched.In particular, there is also a boss who is pierced into a candlestick by steel bars in front.
"Who knows." Xu Xiao shrugged.
He made this trip only to worry about Xue Huai.
After accidentally thinking about something wrong with Chu Chengcheng that day, the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt.
If it was said before, Chu Chengcheng chose to remain silent out of fear.Then, after a life may be involved, isn't he worried about his personal safety?Even in the face of the police, still make up your mind not to say anything?
"I just think..." After a moment of silence, Xu Xiao added, "Wang Zhiheng's investigation is a bit narrow."
"Eh?" Pei Jiuchuan was still waiting for his boss to say something about Chu Chengcheng, but he didn't expect such a sentence at last.
"The place where Ah Dao died is still that abandoned building." Xu Xiao tapped on the car window lightly, "I didn't hear Wang Zhiheng say that there were traces of the corpse being transported, that is to say..."
The action of the man knocking on the car window misunderstood the young master, thinking that he felt hot: "Turn on the air conditioner."
"I'll just...knock." Xu Xiao glanced at his subordinate speechlessly, "Listen to me."
Pei Jiuchuan nodded obediently.
"The abandoned building is too strange." He continued, "No matter what, it shouldn't be in that building."
"Why?" The young master didn't understand, "Choose to abandon the building, either the two cases were done by one murderer, or the second murderer wanted the police to think that the two cases were written by the same person, it's not difficult to understand, right? "
"What you said makes sense." Probably Wang Zhiheng thought the same way, so he didn't follow the old four's way completely, but checked on both sides.
"But you know a place where people died not long ago, so would you go there rashly?" Xu Xiao turned to look at Pei Jiuchuan, "Isn't that justified?"
The boss died in the abandoned building, as long as Ah Dao had a little brain, he shouldn't have stepped in there easily.
"Also..." Pei Jiuchuan had to admit that he really didn't expect how Ah Dao would take the initiative to run to the abandoned building.
Unable to figure it out, the young master simply stopped thinking: "It's here."
Xu Xiao had already called Xue Huai's grandparents, asking them to find an excuse to call their grandson home.
After all, if Xue Huai was present, if Chu Chengcheng really had something to hide from everyone, he would definitely not speak up.
"Uncle Xu."
After knocking for a long time, Chu Chengcheng opened the door.
He poured good tea for the two of them with some unease, and then stood aside awkwardly, as if this was not his home, and he was the guest who was forcibly invited to be a guest.
"Don't be afraid." Xu Xiao smiled at him, "Sit."
Obviously, the man's words did not comfort Chu Chengcheng at all.He tremblingly chose the place farthest from them, and sat up straight while holding his voice.
Sensing the boy's faint resistance, Xu Xiao looked directly into the other's eyes: "How have you been these two days?"
"It's...not bad." I don't understand why Xu Xiao came to the door suddenly, Chu Chengcheng stumbled and said several times before he could finish the sentence, like a frightened deer.
"I heard from Xue Huai." Xu Xiao said softly, "People often bully you, don't they?"
"No, no!" Hearing this, Chu Chengcheng shuddered suddenly, and widened his eyes in panic, his black and white pupils were shining brightly, "Not often!"
"Cheng Cheng." Seeing his terrified appearance, Xu Xiao slowed down his tone again, "Don't be afraid, if you have anything to say, Xue Huai can protect you, and so can we."
"Really not!" Hearing his lover's name, Chu Chengcheng trembled again, his eyelashes fluttering up and down, "I really don't know who it is, I already said it last time! I didn't lie!"
The corners of the young man's eyes were stained with a visible crimson color, and there was a faint glimmer of water, looking extremely aggrieved.
"Cheng Cheng." Pei Jiuchuan was afraid that his boss would really make people cry in the end, so he hurriedly cut off the conversation before Xu Xiao spoke again, "Are you..."
"Threatened?" After thinking about it, the young master felt that his words were not too light.
Sure enough, Chu Chengcheng burst into tears.
He shook his head while crying: "I don't...I don't know anything, don't ask me..."
The harder he cried, the more the two adults felt that he was hiding something.But looking at the other party's choking appearance, he will not be able to stop for a while.
"It was Ah Dao who died this time. We are not sure whether it has anything to do with the person who bullied you." Amidst Chu Chengcheng's sobs, Xu Xiao calmly said, "But if it really has something to do with him, next time he What should I do to you?"
Chu Chengcheng didn't respond to his words, and kept crying in a low voice.
Seeing that this sentence didn't work, after thinking for a while, Xu Xiao decided to be ruthless.
"He has never touched Xue Huai. Even if you don't think about yourself, why should you think about Xue Huai?" He looked at the crying boy, "What if he hurts Xue Huai?"
Chu Chengcheng choked.
He raised his head and glanced at Xu Xiao with his red eyes.
"No." Chu Chengcheng said in a low voice, but very firmly, "It has nothing to do with him."
------------
Facing the sun that can roast people to death, Xiao Fang took people to find people who had been bullied by Ah Dao one by one, and those who had trouble with Ah Dao.
"The last one." Standing downstairs in Lin Jixiang's house, he took off his hat and felt that his whole body was smoking.
"I said Brother Fang." The little policeman who was brought out came over and muttered, "What if this is okay?"
"Cold salad!" Xiao Fang patted the back of the other party's sweat-drenched head, "We'll go eat after we find this!"
"I told you that Lin Jixiang is not at home!" Just after knocking on the door twice, a woman's roar came from inside, "It's so annoying! I'm in a hurry to reincarnate! There's no end to it!"
Xiao Fang's hand knocking on the door was still raised in the air. Are the citizens so cooperative with the police?
He just wanted to laugh, but the smile stuck in the corner of his mouth before he could come out in time.
"Open the door! Open the door!" He slapped the anti-theft door vigorously, "Police!"
From the mouth of the woman who was so drunk and her eyes were staring straight, Xiao Fang managed to find out that Lin Jixiang hadn't been home for a week.
At the same time, he also learned that a young man called Lin Jixiang's house every day, and even came to find him.
After getting the phone number of the other party, he somehow felt familiar.
"I'll go!" With a slap on the forehead, Xiao Fang remembered, "Isn't this the fourth child!"
"Hurry up!" He pushed his colleague out of the door, "Hurry up and find someone!"
However, like Lin Jixiang, the police did not find the shadow of the fourth child in the other party's house.
☆, day and night (17)
When the police from the sub-bureau looked for him, the fourth child was wobbly walking on the field ridge in the suburbs with a grass root in his mouth.
The setting sun elongated the boy's figure and folded it in half on the field ridge.The shadow is long and thin, like a magnified stickman.
He raised his hand slightly, and the stickman followed his movement, raised his hand stiffly, and then suddenly collapsed into floating ash on the ground.
"What should we do?" He looked at the pile of ashes, "You are going to die."
Of course Ashes couldn't answer him.
The evening wind blew by, whirling slightly, rolled up the ashes, and threw them on the fourth child.
He took a step back, but even so, a little dust fell into his eyes, which made him burn with pain.
There was a small river flowing beside the field ridge. The fourth child touched his pocket and took out two different models of mobile phones. After thinking for a while, he threw the new one into the river.
As soon as he raised his hand, the wide-screen mobile phone fell in response, and a faint splash appeared on the river surface, and then calm was restored.
Where will Lim Kit Siang go?
He stuffed the remaining mobile phone back and licked his chapped lips.
"Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai"
The fourth child was too lazy to pay attention to the other party. He didn't even cast a superfluous look at him. He took a little bit of a step and jumped across the field ridge.
After all, he was still young, and the abuse behind him gradually disappeared in his ears, only the sound of the wind hitting his face was real and harsh.
But the sound of the wind was very strange, like it was squeezed in from the gap of the abandoned building, whimpering.
The fourth child shuddered.
The twilight is falling, and there is still some burnt color on the horizon, but there are very few things that can be seen clearly in the field of vision.The dense leaves of the crops rustled in the night wind, covering up the boy's footsteps.
"Hiss..." After being scraped by the leaves of an unknown crop, the fourth child felt an obvious tingling sensation on his cheek.
He stopped and reached out to touch his face.
Being touched, the wound shrank sensitively.But the fourth child felt that what he touched was a high and swollen cheek, as if someone had slapped him in the face.
Looking around, the last bit of light also disappeared at the end of the sky.
The stars were scattered in the sky, I don't know if it was a coincidence or an illusion, there was only this piece of night sky above his head, not a single star.It can't even penetrate the moonlight, and as soon as it gets close, it will be engulfed by boundless darkness.
Convinced that this place is temporarily safe, the tense muscles of the fourth child relax slightly.
He didn't pay much attention to it, he just kicked down a few crops at random to make room for himself, and sat down carelessly.
The damp breath emerged from the ground and slowly climbed up his back.
The temperature gradually dropped at night, even though it was midsummer, it made him shiver a little.
In the distance, a few dogs barked from the temporary bungalows outside the farmland, and there were faint human voices.
The fourth child's heart suddenly rose.
But the noise soon disappeared, leaving behind only the rustling of the leaves, and the drum-like heartbeat that the young man could hear.
"Damn." After making sure that he was safe for the time being, the fourth child heaved a sigh of relief.
He took out the mobile phone that was left behind.
The phone was old and didn't look like a model for a kid their age.There are several buttons that don't work very well and require a lot of effort to respond.
After being poked a few times, the screen flickered on weakly.
The fourth child pressed a few numbers, halfway through, hesitated for a while, and exited the interface again.
No... no, he said to himself.
Since he could find out that Lin Jixiang was not there, it was only a matter of time before the police found out about Lin Jixiang.
When Lin Jixiang is found, he will follow the clues to find him who has been looking for Lin Jixiang.
At that time, regardless of whether Lin Jixiang could be found or not, at least the fourth child was sure that his life would be difficult.
Perfect plans hardly exist in reality, and nothing can stand up to extremely rigorous scrutiny and analysis.Now, he only has a slight, almost negligible advantage.
If the police found Lin Jixiang first, then he would lose even this last advantage.
"Where did you go?" Thinking of this, the fourth child frowned.
He took this road not entirely out of the desire to avoid the police, but to find Lin Kitxiang first.
It's a bit funny to say, compared to Lin Jixiang's parents, he is a gangster who bullies each other every day, but he knows better than them where Lin Jixiang might be.
There are not many places for Lin Jixiang to hide. Last week, he took advantage of the night to walk around the abandoned buildings and construction sites in the city.The homeless man had met quite a few, but none of them was the person he was looking for.
But why did Lin Jixiang run away?
The fourth child frowned even tighter.
After hearing the news of Ah Dao's death, did the other party regret it?
No, no, right away, he vetoed his idea.
It has been a week since Lin Jixiang could not be contacted, and Ah Dao died not long ago.
Remembering how the other party called him tremblingly that day, the fourth child couldn't help but sneered.
"Feng Jinxing!"
Lin Jixiang grinned his teeth, covered his kicked legs, and stood up straight with great effort.
"I..." Tears welled up in his eyes from the pain, but he still looked at the fourth child tremblingly, "I have something to tell you..."
The moment the other party called out his name, the fourth child was taken aback for a moment.
Almost no one calls him that now, everyone calls him the old four.Whether he likes it or not, he is always fourth in the order of things.
Over time, no one would call him by his real name except on extremely formal occasions.
"What more formal occasions do you want, kid?" That's what the boss said at the time, "One time in prison, one time out of prison, and it's all done! How formal!"
The crowd roared with laughter, just like the one Lim Kit Siang eavesdropped on, and everyone thought the joke was hilarious.
The fourth child also followed everyone and laughed together.
"Let's talk." Although he didn't know what trick Lin Jixiang was playing, but seeing that the other party called his name was still sincere, the fourth child reluctantly went to a slightly remote corner with the other party.
He felt that the current scene was very delicate, he had never looked directly at Lin Jixiang.In his vague impression, this is just a coward who won't fight back even if he is beaten. Apart from running away and curling himself into a ball, there is nothing special about him.
But Lin Jixiang really doesn't need to be special. The fourth child can guarantee that in the eyes of the rest of the people, this boy who is half a head shorter than him is especially favored by them precisely because he is not special at all.
After all, the cost of bullying someone who no one cares about is the lowest.
"Say it quickly." The fourth child folded his arms, a little impatiently.
As expected, Lin Jixiang was still timid as always, he didn't even dare to look him in the eyes, he just stood in front of him, trembling all the time.
It was an instinctive fear, an acquired reaction after being beaten countless times.
The fourth child didn't have the ability to read minds, so naturally he didn't know what Lin Jixiang was thinking when he was shaking all the time. Looking at the pitiful appearance of the other party, he guessed that Lin Jixiang probably wanted to beg him to let him go in the future.
The boss died, and for a while, no one took the lead temporarily, so it was normal for Lin Jixiang to find him.
But the fourth child was only half right. Lin Jixiang really wanted to keep him away from him, but he didn't have any thoughts of begging.
When a person has a bargaining chip in his hand, he can certainly stand upright without looking forward and backward.
"Damn it!"
Thinking of this, the fourth child couldn't help kicking the soft ground angrily.
For some reason, he could tolerate being beaten by red hair, but when he was threatened by Lin Jixiang, he always felt angry.
The sudden uptake of a gun by a hunted animal surprises and annoys any hunter.
But it is unwise to act rashly when the gun is aimed.
What's more... the fourth child licked his chapped lips again. The long-term lack of water made him a little dizzy. This prey that suddenly opened its teeth and claws seemed to be targeting more than one person.
Compared to myself who was hesitant to make a decision, the other hunter was obviously more decisive.
He remembered the night when Ah Dao tied Chu Chengcheng, the dim light in the factory was so big that it took up half of the room.
But the fourth child said that he heard these things from A Dao.It wasn't until Ah Dao had an accident that he realized that something was wrong, and then he thought about sending a message to the branch office.
But Ah Dao is dead, and it is not easy to find out from a dead person who asked him to bully Chu Chengcheng.
"It's okay, it's okay." Chu Chengcheng cried so hard that Wang Zhiheng couldn't stand it, "Don't run around these two days, stay with Xue Huai obediently, pay attention to safety, what can I do for you? Call up."
But his consolation was useless. I don't know if it was his illusion. After hearing his words, Chu Chengcheng seemed to cry even harder.
"Cheng Cheng!"
Seeing Chu Chengcheng come out of the interrogation room, Xue Huai, who had finally calmed down, rushed up directly: "What did he do to you?!"
"How do you talk, kid!" Wang Zhiheng stared, if it wasn't for Xu Xiao's face, he would definitely beat this guy to death until the other party learned to speak!
Chu Chengcheng seemed to be completely terrified, and regardless of whether there were other people in the police station, he threw himself into Xue Huai's arms, buried his face in front of Xue Huai's chest, and was unwilling to raise his head no matter what.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Xue Huai hugged him, patted his back lightly, but looked at Wang Zhiheng.
what happened?He also stared boldly at Wang.
"Someone died." Wang Zhiheng didn't intend to hide it from Xue Huai, "It might have something to do with Chu Chengcheng."
"You know the bullying that day..." Xue Huai sneered before he finished speaking.
"Good death!" If it weren't for the evidence of surveillance, Wang Zhiheng would definitely arrest this guy, "I'll beat him up if I don't mind!"
"Okay, okay!" The brain circuit of the other party is different from that of normal people, Wang boldly didn't want to say a word, "You take good care of him these two days, don't make any mistakes."
"You don't need to worry about it." Xue Huai rolled his eyes, and directly hugged Chu Chengcheng, "You don't come to make trouble, I will be thankful!"
Looking at his back, Xiao Chu and Xiao Fang looked at each other, and they both saw the exclamation of "talent!" in each other's eyes.
------------
After being questioned for several hours, the fourth child was finally able to go home temporarily.
He recalled the back and forth with the police just now, and sighed heavily.
Ah Dao is dead, so it's not a big deal to push the matter on the other party.
He thought for a while, stared at the phone for a while, and dialed a number.
"Hello?" The phone went through, "I'm looking for Lin Jixiang."
"Who knows where he died! Stop beating!" A female voice came out sharply from the loudspeaker, "Beat me every day, tell you he's not at home these days, kill me!"
After yelling a sentence, the other party hangs up the phone neatly.
The fourth child held his mobile phone and stood there, thoughtful.
☆, day and night (15)
"Uncle Xu."
Xue Huai lowered his eyebrows and looked down, and sat obediently on the sofa.A head of red hair was attached softly to the back of his head, making his eyebrows and eyes more and more profound.
"It's rare." Unexpectedly, Xue Huai would take the initiative to come to the door, Xu Xiao was a little surprised.
But after all, he was the one who watched him grow up day after day since he was a child, so he couldn't block people at the door to prevent them from entering.
Furthermore, Xu Xiao was also curious, what could make Xue Huai come to him in person.
"..." Pei Jiuchuan still found this kid not pleasing to the eye, because of his boss's face, and he couldn't show his dislike too clearly, so he could only change his position silently.
Xu Xiao was surprised, and Xue Huai was even more surprised.He came here today to find out from Xu Xiao, but he didn't expect that there was someone in the other's family.
He glanced calmly at the young master who was looking at him with his chin down, and after some thought in his heart, he took his gaze back.
"Do you remember the last time I was called to the police station?" Xue Huai looked at Xu Xiao again.
"What?" Xu Xiao frowned. "Don't tell me you really got involved?"
He knew Xue Huai's temper, he was aggressive, and he rarely committed offense at critical moments.Besides, what happened last time has nothing to do with the other party in terms of evidence. What is the reason for bringing this up now?
"It's not me." Xue Huai's face was not very good-looking, he pursed his lips, "Yesterday Cheng Cheng was called over."
Xu Xiao paused for a moment: "Chu Chengcheng?"
"Yeah." Xue Huai scratched his head, "I heard from Cheng Cheng that another one of those people died."
His words were very flat, and only when he mentioned his lover's name did he feel a little cautious, as if he would smash Chu Chengcheng into pieces if he spoke a little louder.
"What does it have to do with him?" Xu Xiao couldn't help but look at Xue Huai more.
Xue Huai said nothing, he was silent for a while, but looked at Pei Jiuchuan.
"It's okay." Sensing Xue Huai's hesitation, Xu Xiao nodded at him, "You explain the matter clearly first, no one here will speak out."
After getting the guarantee, Xue Huai still frowned, seeming very unhappy.
He took a deep breath for a long time, suppressed the fire in his heart, and then said word by word: "That day, Cheng Cheng and I had a little disagreement, so I left him at home alone and went back by myself."
Mentioning this matter, the boy's face showed obvious annoyance and frustration, and the hands on his knees were unconsciously clenched, and the nails sank into the palm of his hand, leaving a deep mark.
"Then..." Xue Huai's voice dropped, "He was bullied by those people again."
The expressions on Xu Xiao and Pei Jiuchuan's faces froze.
Xue Huai didn't pay attention to the expressions of the adults. He clenched his fists and continued, "I asked him which ones they were, but he refused to tell me. I didn't know that someone died there until I was called by the police yesterday."
"..." Xu Xiao didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while, and after thinking about it, he asked, "Where's your alibi?"
"Cheng Cheng and I stay at home, and there are surveillance cameras in the community." However, Xue Huai didn't care about this matter, and he was a bit perfunctory when answering.
His hands loosened and tightened, as if hesitating for something.
Xu Xiao didn't urge him. Seeing this, Xue Huai seemed to have something else he couldn't talk about.
After hesitating for a long time, fine sweat dripped from his forehead, and finally, Xue Huai closed his eyes: "I heard from the police, it seems that someone ordered them to bully Cheng Cheng, and then that person took the bully Cheng Cheng killed."
"Eh?" Pei Jiuchuan originally planned to be a silent observer, but Xue Huai's words made him unable to understand, "What did you say?"
Is the other party full?
Xue Huai opened his eyes again, and saw Xu Xiao's expression was exactly the same as that of the little policeman.Apparently neither of them understood what he was talking about.
"He..." Xue Huai didn't know how to express it, his tongue was almost twisted in one place.
"That one is dead." The boy closed his eyes wearily, "He...did some rather excessive things to Cheng Cheng."
Pei Jiuchuan glanced at Xu Xiao.
"...Huh?" Xu Xiao could only look at Xue Huai again.
Xue Huai bit her lip, using a lot of strength, a little blood oozing faintly.
Xu Xiao had never seen Xue Huai like this.
"You..." He said a little worriedly.
"I'm fine." Xue Huai swallowed the fishy sweetness in his throat, and after a while, he said, "That person probably... likes Cheng Cheng."
What he said was ambiguous, but the two adults understood immediately.
"Cheng Cheng was terrified." Xue Huai lowered his head, crossed his hands together, and twisted vigorously, "I don't know what to do."
If there was any dissatisfaction with Xue Huai before, after hearing these words, Pei Jiuchuan would not care about competing with Xue Huai.
"Don't worry." Xu Xiao didn't expect to come out like this, the most urgent thing is to appease Xue Huai first, "Does Chu Chengcheng know who it is...?"
Xue Huai shook his head: "If he knew, he would have told me a long time ago, it is impossible to hide it from me."
That's true, judging from Chu Chengcheng's dependence on Xue Huai, he would definitely tell him as soon as he encountered such a thing.
He continued: "Uncle Xu...I...what should I do."
The rebellious young man showed a rare expression of bewilderment, and even the color of his hair seemed to have dimmed a lot.
The matter was suddenly difficult, and for a while, Xu Xiao didn't dare to make any promises to the other party.
He lowered his head and thought for a while: "You should stay with him now, and leave the rest to the police."
Hearing this, Xue Huai pursed her lips.
"Chu Chengcheng is at home alone when you come to us?" Pei Jiuchuan suddenly thought of this, "That person won't..."
"I locked the door with a key from the outside before I came out, it's fine." Xue Huai's shoulders were stiffened, and the gloomy look between his brows was not less than half, "At this time, I'm sure..."
"You should spend more time with him." Xu Xiao and Wang Zhiheng had the same opinion before, "Don't run around these few days, if you need anything, you can contact Team Wang or me. Don't let Chu Chengcheng go out by himself. "
Xue Huai nodded.
There was really nothing to say, and the atmosphere in the living room was a little stiff.
"That's right." Seeing that the boss didn't speak, Pei Jiuchuan smiled at Xue Huai for the first time, "How did you and Chu Chengcheng get together?"
He had been pondering this question for a long time in private, and no matter how he thought about it, he never thought about how the two people got in touch.
Mentioning this matter, Xue Huai relaxed a lot, his tensed shoulders slowly collapsed, and there was a gleam in his eyes.
"We..." He touched his head a little shyly, "At that time, I was wandering in the street and suddenly bumped into him and was blocked by a gangster, and then we knew each other."
The corner of Xue Huai's mouth twitched into a smile, as if he was immersed in the moment when he protected the young man behind his back when they first met.
------------
Counting today, the fourth child has not seen Lin Jixiang for almost a week.
Today's temperature is not as high as the previous few days, and the clouds are rolling in the sky, and it looks like it will rain at any time.
Although he promised the sub-bureau not to run around outside, but thinking about Lin Jixiang's side, the fourth child still took a while to go out.
He knew little about Lim Kit Siang's family situation, only that the parents didn't care much about their children.Although he and Lin Jixiang have been in the relationship between the perpetrator and the victim for a long time, from this point of view, the two people are connected.
Standing in front of the anti-theft door, the fourth child thought about the words he had prepared before knocking on the door.
After knocking several times, he heard a little movement.
Five minutes later, the small window on the security door was opened.
A pair of hangover eyes popped out, circling around the fourth child: "Who are you?"
"Hello, Uncle." The fourth child smiled at the man, "I'm Jixiang's classmate, and I'm here to give him his homework."
"Throw it at the door." Hearing the second part of his words, the man lost all interest. He put down three words and closed the small window without waiting for the fourth child to respond.
"..." The fourth child was still holding up his blank summer homework, but with just a few words, he got his nose dusted.
He didn't feel too bad about being turned away.After thinking about it, he tiptoed downstairs, took out his cell phone, and sat down in the gazebo downstairs.
He was playing a game in his hand, but the fourth brother was staring at the corridor entrance from the corner of his eye.
A few hours later, Lin Jixiang's father came out crookedly from the unit door. Looking at his disheveled appearance, he probably got drunk at home.
As he was walking, he made a phone call: "Old Zhang! Go... go to Lao Wang's house for a drink! Hurry up! I'm missing you!"
The man's footsteps were sloppy, and he took two steps sideways. Obviously, the alcohol had gone to his head.
The fourth child held his breath, waited for the man to walk for a while, and then got into the corridor.
I don't know if I should say he was lucky, but this time, the small window opened again.
"Don't buy things that are on sale!" The eyes rolled up by themselves, but the voice changed into a sharp female voice.
"Auntie!" This time, the fourth child uttered before the small window closed, "I'm the one who called a few days ago!"
"Troublemaker, it's you." Half of the eyebrows were raised, "Why? If Lin Jixiang owes you money, you can ask him for it! Don't ask me! I have no money!"
"..." Now, the fourth child finally understood why Lin Jixiang would rather run out than go home when he was directly downstairs.
"No." He waved his hands hastily, "I'm here to ask auspicious homework questions."
After finishing speaking, he raised the blank summer homework again.
The woman snorted coldly: "He hasn't come back for several days! Go ask the ghost!"
"Hey!" Sensing that the woman wanted to close the door, the fourth child was a little anxious, "Auntie! Your son hasn't been seen for such a long time, aren't you worried about him?"
"What does it have to do with me?" The woman frowned in surprise, "For a man of his age, could he die outside?"
The fourth child couldn't believe that this was what the other party said. He was taken aback for a moment, and the woman seized this opportunity and slammed the small window shut.
The cicada on the tree sang twice, as if mocking the ignorance of the fourth child.
Lim Kit Siang... He sat on the stairs and stroked his hair.
Are you still alive?
He faintly looked forward to it, but along with the expectation, there was a deeper fear.
The author has something to say: When love is in excess, it brings sa man no honor or worthiness.
——Euripides
☆, day and night (16)
"You don't even know what I've been living these two days!"
Wang Zhiheng grabbed Xu Xiao's shoulder, and Pei Jiuchuan frowned: "It's life-threatening!"
Mengmeng preliminarily judged that the time of A Dao's death should be between [-]:[-] pm and [-]:[-] pm.The footprints at the scene have been artificially destroyed, and it is impossible to find effective evidence from the traces left behind.
Similarly, the murder weapon was not left at the scene, and valid fingerprints were not extracted from Ah Dao's clothing.
For a while, the sub-bureau could only figure out A Dao's interpersonal relationship while trying to find some clues from the surrounding surveillance.
"Could you give advice to the municipal government at the next meeting, quickly tear down these abandoned buildings, and install more cameras!" Wang Zhiheng raised his head and took a big sip of tea, "What's the use of just staring at the main road! No! Do you know that this kind of broken alley is the high incidence of cases!"
"...you drank too much" Xu Xiao glanced at the tea in the opponent's hand, without changing his face.
"I'd rather be that I drank too much." Wang Zhiheng slammed the cup on the table unwillingly, and Niannian, who was watching the animation, was so frightened that he looked at them several times, "When I wake up, there will be no such case. How nice!"
"..." Pei Jiuchuan decided to play dead.
"Where's Chu Chengcheng?" Xu Xiao had long been used to Wang Zhiheng's temper, so he didn't move his eyebrows, "Still don't know anything?"
"The child is almost scared to death, what can I ask?" Wang boldly took another sip of tea, "Let's talk..."
What the fourth child offered was only a possibility, and it was impossible for the police to put all their chips on this possibility.
Of course, Wang Zhiheng also asked people to investigate Chu Chengcheng's interpersonal relationship, and then came back empty-handed, and was scolded bloody by him.
Chu Chengcheng's life is the same as that of all good students, and there is nothing particularly worthy of attention.Go to and from school regularly every day and study hard.
The only surprise might be the inexplicably extra Xue Huai.
"No way?" After hearing Wang Zhiheng's words, Xu Xiao was a little surprised, "Is there anything wrong?"
"Really, why would I lie to you." Wang boldly grimaced, "That kid is so obedient, I can't find anything wrong with him."
Xu Xiao paused: "I heard from Xue Huai that the first time the two of them met was when he happened to meet Chu Chengcheng and was bullied."
Calculated in this way, at least Chu Chengcheng had been bullied at least three times.Normal people have to think about who they offended when they meet each other once. Why is it that Chu Chengcheng is still not enlightened at all after three times in a row?
"..." Wang Zhiheng couldn't answer this question, he scratched his head, "How about I ask him again?"
"Forget it." Xu Xiao looked at the other party's fierce expression, "Go ahead and check yours, and I'll help you here."
"I knew you were the best for me!" Wang Zhiheng slapped the table, "Hey, what I told you last time is to live with a partner..."
"Captain Wang!" Pei Jiuchuan snatched the tea from his hand, "You're drunk!"
"...Who is it?" The dazed Wang boldly touched his nose after being pushed out of the door, "Oh no! Pei Jiuchuan! How can you stay at his house! Open the door for me! !!"
------------
"I said..." Pei Jiuchuan slowed down the car a little, "Do you really think that... the pervert did it?"
Although this is not unreasonable, the young master still feels that this reason is too far-fetched.In particular, there is also a boss who is pierced into a candlestick by steel bars in front.
"Who knows." Xu Xiao shrugged.
He made this trip only to worry about Xue Huai.
After accidentally thinking about something wrong with Chu Chengcheng that day, the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt.
If it was said before, Chu Chengcheng chose to remain silent out of fear.Then, after a life may be involved, isn't he worried about his personal safety?Even in the face of the police, still make up your mind not to say anything?
"I just think..." After a moment of silence, Xu Xiao added, "Wang Zhiheng's investigation is a bit narrow."
"Eh?" Pei Jiuchuan was still waiting for his boss to say something about Chu Chengcheng, but he didn't expect such a sentence at last.
"The place where Ah Dao died is still that abandoned building." Xu Xiao tapped on the car window lightly, "I didn't hear Wang Zhiheng say that there were traces of the corpse being transported, that is to say..."
The action of the man knocking on the car window misunderstood the young master, thinking that he felt hot: "Turn on the air conditioner."
"I'll just...knock." Xu Xiao glanced at his subordinate speechlessly, "Listen to me."
Pei Jiuchuan nodded obediently.
"The abandoned building is too strange." He continued, "No matter what, it shouldn't be in that building."
"Why?" The young master didn't understand, "Choose to abandon the building, either the two cases were done by one murderer, or the second murderer wanted the police to think that the two cases were written by the same person, it's not difficult to understand, right? "
"What you said makes sense." Probably Wang Zhiheng thought the same way, so he didn't follow the old four's way completely, but checked on both sides.
"But you know a place where people died not long ago, so would you go there rashly?" Xu Xiao turned to look at Pei Jiuchuan, "Isn't that justified?"
The boss died in the abandoned building, as long as Ah Dao had a little brain, he shouldn't have stepped in there easily.
"Also..." Pei Jiuchuan had to admit that he really didn't expect how Ah Dao would take the initiative to run to the abandoned building.
Unable to figure it out, the young master simply stopped thinking: "It's here."
Xu Xiao had already called Xue Huai's grandparents, asking them to find an excuse to call their grandson home.
After all, if Xue Huai was present, if Chu Chengcheng really had something to hide from everyone, he would definitely not speak up.
"Uncle Xu."
After knocking for a long time, Chu Chengcheng opened the door.
He poured good tea for the two of them with some unease, and then stood aside awkwardly, as if this was not his home, and he was the guest who was forcibly invited to be a guest.
"Don't be afraid." Xu Xiao smiled at him, "Sit."
Obviously, the man's words did not comfort Chu Chengcheng at all.He tremblingly chose the place farthest from them, and sat up straight while holding his voice.
Sensing the boy's faint resistance, Xu Xiao looked directly into the other's eyes: "How have you been these two days?"
"It's...not bad." I don't understand why Xu Xiao came to the door suddenly, Chu Chengcheng stumbled and said several times before he could finish the sentence, like a frightened deer.
"I heard from Xue Huai." Xu Xiao said softly, "People often bully you, don't they?"
"No, no!" Hearing this, Chu Chengcheng shuddered suddenly, and widened his eyes in panic, his black and white pupils were shining brightly, "Not often!"
"Cheng Cheng." Seeing his terrified appearance, Xu Xiao slowed down his tone again, "Don't be afraid, if you have anything to say, Xue Huai can protect you, and so can we."
"Really not!" Hearing his lover's name, Chu Chengcheng trembled again, his eyelashes fluttering up and down, "I really don't know who it is, I already said it last time! I didn't lie!"
The corners of the young man's eyes were stained with a visible crimson color, and there was a faint glimmer of water, looking extremely aggrieved.
"Cheng Cheng." Pei Jiuchuan was afraid that his boss would really make people cry in the end, so he hurriedly cut off the conversation before Xu Xiao spoke again, "Are you..."
"Threatened?" After thinking about it, the young master felt that his words were not too light.
Sure enough, Chu Chengcheng burst into tears.
He shook his head while crying: "I don't...I don't know anything, don't ask me..."
The harder he cried, the more the two adults felt that he was hiding something.But looking at the other party's choking appearance, he will not be able to stop for a while.
"It was Ah Dao who died this time. We are not sure whether it has anything to do with the person who bullied you." Amidst Chu Chengcheng's sobs, Xu Xiao calmly said, "But if it really has something to do with him, next time he What should I do to you?"
Chu Chengcheng didn't respond to his words, and kept crying in a low voice.
Seeing that this sentence didn't work, after thinking for a while, Xu Xiao decided to be ruthless.
"He has never touched Xue Huai. Even if you don't think about yourself, why should you think about Xue Huai?" He looked at the crying boy, "What if he hurts Xue Huai?"
Chu Chengcheng choked.
He raised his head and glanced at Xu Xiao with his red eyes.
"No." Chu Chengcheng said in a low voice, but very firmly, "It has nothing to do with him."
------------
Facing the sun that can roast people to death, Xiao Fang took people to find people who had been bullied by Ah Dao one by one, and those who had trouble with Ah Dao.
"The last one." Standing downstairs in Lin Jixiang's house, he took off his hat and felt that his whole body was smoking.
"I said Brother Fang." The little policeman who was brought out came over and muttered, "What if this is okay?"
"Cold salad!" Xiao Fang patted the back of the other party's sweat-drenched head, "We'll go eat after we find this!"
"I told you that Lin Jixiang is not at home!" Just after knocking on the door twice, a woman's roar came from inside, "It's so annoying! I'm in a hurry to reincarnate! There's no end to it!"
Xiao Fang's hand knocking on the door was still raised in the air. Are the citizens so cooperative with the police?
He just wanted to laugh, but the smile stuck in the corner of his mouth before he could come out in time.
"Open the door! Open the door!" He slapped the anti-theft door vigorously, "Police!"
From the mouth of the woman who was so drunk and her eyes were staring straight, Xiao Fang managed to find out that Lin Jixiang hadn't been home for a week.
At the same time, he also learned that a young man called Lin Jixiang's house every day, and even came to find him.
After getting the phone number of the other party, he somehow felt familiar.
"I'll go!" With a slap on the forehead, Xiao Fang remembered, "Isn't this the fourth child!"
"Hurry up!" He pushed his colleague out of the door, "Hurry up and find someone!"
However, like Lin Jixiang, the police did not find the shadow of the fourth child in the other party's house.
☆, day and night (17)
When the police from the sub-bureau looked for him, the fourth child was wobbly walking on the field ridge in the suburbs with a grass root in his mouth.
The setting sun elongated the boy's figure and folded it in half on the field ridge.The shadow is long and thin, like a magnified stickman.
He raised his hand slightly, and the stickman followed his movement, raised his hand stiffly, and then suddenly collapsed into floating ash on the ground.
"What should we do?" He looked at the pile of ashes, "You are going to die."
Of course Ashes couldn't answer him.
The evening wind blew by, whirling slightly, rolled up the ashes, and threw them on the fourth child.
He took a step back, but even so, a little dust fell into his eyes, which made him burn with pain.
There was a small river flowing beside the field ridge. The fourth child touched his pocket and took out two different models of mobile phones. After thinking for a while, he threw the new one into the river.
As soon as he raised his hand, the wide-screen mobile phone fell in response, and a faint splash appeared on the river surface, and then calm was restored.
Where will Lim Kit Siang go?
He stuffed the remaining mobile phone back and licked his chapped lips.
"Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai"
The fourth child was too lazy to pay attention to the other party. He didn't even cast a superfluous look at him. He took a little bit of a step and jumped across the field ridge.
After all, he was still young, and the abuse behind him gradually disappeared in his ears, only the sound of the wind hitting his face was real and harsh.
But the sound of the wind was very strange, like it was squeezed in from the gap of the abandoned building, whimpering.
The fourth child shuddered.
The twilight is falling, and there is still some burnt color on the horizon, but there are very few things that can be seen clearly in the field of vision.The dense leaves of the crops rustled in the night wind, covering up the boy's footsteps.
"Hiss..." After being scraped by the leaves of an unknown crop, the fourth child felt an obvious tingling sensation on his cheek.
He stopped and reached out to touch his face.
Being touched, the wound shrank sensitively.But the fourth child felt that what he touched was a high and swollen cheek, as if someone had slapped him in the face.
Looking around, the last bit of light also disappeared at the end of the sky.
The stars were scattered in the sky, I don't know if it was a coincidence or an illusion, there was only this piece of night sky above his head, not a single star.It can't even penetrate the moonlight, and as soon as it gets close, it will be engulfed by boundless darkness.
Convinced that this place is temporarily safe, the tense muscles of the fourth child relax slightly.
He didn't pay much attention to it, he just kicked down a few crops at random to make room for himself, and sat down carelessly.
The damp breath emerged from the ground and slowly climbed up his back.
The temperature gradually dropped at night, even though it was midsummer, it made him shiver a little.
In the distance, a few dogs barked from the temporary bungalows outside the farmland, and there were faint human voices.
The fourth child's heart suddenly rose.
But the noise soon disappeared, leaving behind only the rustling of the leaves, and the drum-like heartbeat that the young man could hear.
"Damn." After making sure that he was safe for the time being, the fourth child heaved a sigh of relief.
He took out the mobile phone that was left behind.
The phone was old and didn't look like a model for a kid their age.There are several buttons that don't work very well and require a lot of effort to respond.
After being poked a few times, the screen flickered on weakly.
The fourth child pressed a few numbers, halfway through, hesitated for a while, and exited the interface again.
No... no, he said to himself.
Since he could find out that Lin Jixiang was not there, it was only a matter of time before the police found out about Lin Jixiang.
When Lin Jixiang is found, he will follow the clues to find him who has been looking for Lin Jixiang.
At that time, regardless of whether Lin Jixiang could be found or not, at least the fourth child was sure that his life would be difficult.
Perfect plans hardly exist in reality, and nothing can stand up to extremely rigorous scrutiny and analysis.Now, he only has a slight, almost negligible advantage.
If the police found Lin Jixiang first, then he would lose even this last advantage.
"Where did you go?" Thinking of this, the fourth child frowned.
He took this road not entirely out of the desire to avoid the police, but to find Lin Kitxiang first.
It's a bit funny to say, compared to Lin Jixiang's parents, he is a gangster who bullies each other every day, but he knows better than them where Lin Jixiang might be.
There are not many places for Lin Jixiang to hide. Last week, he took advantage of the night to walk around the abandoned buildings and construction sites in the city.The homeless man had met quite a few, but none of them was the person he was looking for.
But why did Lin Jixiang run away?
The fourth child frowned even tighter.
After hearing the news of Ah Dao's death, did the other party regret it?
No, no, right away, he vetoed his idea.
It has been a week since Lin Jixiang could not be contacted, and Ah Dao died not long ago.
Remembering how the other party called him tremblingly that day, the fourth child couldn't help but sneered.
"Feng Jinxing!"
Lin Jixiang grinned his teeth, covered his kicked legs, and stood up straight with great effort.
"I..." Tears welled up in his eyes from the pain, but he still looked at the fourth child tremblingly, "I have something to tell you..."
The moment the other party called out his name, the fourth child was taken aback for a moment.
Almost no one calls him that now, everyone calls him the old four.Whether he likes it or not, he is always fourth in the order of things.
Over time, no one would call him by his real name except on extremely formal occasions.
"What more formal occasions do you want, kid?" That's what the boss said at the time, "One time in prison, one time out of prison, and it's all done! How formal!"
The crowd roared with laughter, just like the one Lim Kit Siang eavesdropped on, and everyone thought the joke was hilarious.
The fourth child also followed everyone and laughed together.
"Let's talk." Although he didn't know what trick Lin Jixiang was playing, but seeing that the other party called his name was still sincere, the fourth child reluctantly went to a slightly remote corner with the other party.
He felt that the current scene was very delicate, he had never looked directly at Lin Jixiang.In his vague impression, this is just a coward who won't fight back even if he is beaten. Apart from running away and curling himself into a ball, there is nothing special about him.
But Lin Jixiang really doesn't need to be special. The fourth child can guarantee that in the eyes of the rest of the people, this boy who is half a head shorter than him is especially favored by them precisely because he is not special at all.
After all, the cost of bullying someone who no one cares about is the lowest.
"Say it quickly." The fourth child folded his arms, a little impatiently.
As expected, Lin Jixiang was still timid as always, he didn't even dare to look him in the eyes, he just stood in front of him, trembling all the time.
It was an instinctive fear, an acquired reaction after being beaten countless times.
The fourth child didn't have the ability to read minds, so naturally he didn't know what Lin Jixiang was thinking when he was shaking all the time. Looking at the pitiful appearance of the other party, he guessed that Lin Jixiang probably wanted to beg him to let him go in the future.
The boss died, and for a while, no one took the lead temporarily, so it was normal for Lin Jixiang to find him.
But the fourth child was only half right. Lin Jixiang really wanted to keep him away from him, but he didn't have any thoughts of begging.
When a person has a bargaining chip in his hand, he can certainly stand upright without looking forward and backward.
"Damn it!"
Thinking of this, the fourth child couldn't help kicking the soft ground angrily.
For some reason, he could tolerate being beaten by red hair, but when he was threatened by Lin Jixiang, he always felt angry.
The sudden uptake of a gun by a hunted animal surprises and annoys any hunter.
But it is unwise to act rashly when the gun is aimed.
What's more... the fourth child licked his chapped lips again. The long-term lack of water made him a little dizzy. This prey that suddenly opened its teeth and claws seemed to be targeting more than one person.
Compared to myself who was hesitant to make a decision, the other hunter was obviously more decisive.
He remembered the night when Ah Dao tied Chu Chengcheng, the dim light in the factory was so big that it took up half of the room.
