After delivering the last balloon of the day, Allen sat slumped on a bench in the amusement park and looked at the sky.

He also has a job in the afternoon to do a chocolate promotion at the store's door.But at the moment he is so tired that he really doesn't want to move - he has been working three jobs a day for more than a year.He once wanted to use this method to make himself have no time to think, no energy to be sentimental, no energy to recall.But when he gradually adapted to the current life, he felt endlessly tired.

This kind of exhaustion does not come from the body, but only torments his mind. He sometimes thinks back to the time before everything happened. At that time, even the air was so beautiful, but now, it is like a suffocating neck collar.

He held his breath, not wanting to smell the cold and sweet smell of ice cream in the air, nor the smell of happiness permeating between lovers. He seemed to smell the stench of his own rotting soul, which couldn't be blocked by his skin.

He once had a boyfriend.

At that time, people's thinking was far less open than it is now, and same-sex romances were more like plagues, viruses, they were wrong and bad.But the coming of love is unstoppable. He and another him fell in love on a campus full of heterosexuals.

The two can only hold hands secretly, hook shoulders and backs like good brothers, and even kiss can only be hidden behind the curtains, let alone make love.

They turned the school drama into a spy movie, meeting all day like a secret agent meeting, and the two boys enjoyed it.

Until a girl fell in love with his boyfriend, from that moment on, things were like a skateboard out of control, they fell directly from the snow mountain into the cold valley.

"Hahaha, I want you to accompany me to sit there." A couple passed by in front of the bench. The girl in a floral dress was holding the hand of her boyfriend next to her, smiling wantonly and happily in the sun.

He patted the ashes off his pants.

It's time for him to go to work.

Will wakes up with soreness.

His calf muscles were twitching, and his whole body was stiff, as if he had just gone on a long hike yesterday.

He sat on the bed in a daze for a while, his head was filled with lead, his thoughts could not be gradually solidified in the mercury, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Winston whimpered and pressed his nose against his hand, and he rubbed its head, struggling to get up.

He didn't know how long he had slept and how long Winston and the other dogs hadn't eaten. He was a little anxious and staggered out of the bedroom.

A few fluffy ones rushed forward immediately, rubbing against him affectionately.Will marked out a clearing in the sea of ​​dogs, and saw from a distance that there was still dog food in the food bowl—it ​​was obviously newly added, and scattered on the surrounding ground.

With doubts, Will refilled the water basin and food bowl, coughing dryly, and went to the kitchen to look for food.

His kitchen usually has nothing to eat, a few bags of convenience food, eggs, milk in the refrigerator, and the only vegetables that Hannibal added last time.He really didn't have any cooking skills, and he just dealt with it casually at home, and sometimes he didn't eat as well as Winston.Dogs are a huge part of his life, his silent family and friends.

Will was going to eat some instant noodles, which was quick and convenient. The only thing missing was nutrition, so he decided to crack an egg for himself.

The refrigerator was still empty, and the vegetables and eggs didn’t take up much space, not to mention that they had changed into another form—someone cooked a meal for him, and the meal was carefully wrapped in plastic wrap. The fragrance is complete.Such an old-fashioned and caring style only reminded him of one person.

"Hello? Will, are you feeling better?"

Will was eating the food prepared by the man when he received a call, "Well, it's okay."

"That's good, can you come to BSU now? New progress has been made in the investigation of the case." The voice over there was as gentle and polite as ever.

"Well, I'll go now." Will ate the last bite of scrambled eggs with toast, "Well, that, I mean thank you."

"Thank you?" The person on the other end of the receiver asked in surprise.

"Thank you for the breakfast, and..." Will looked down at the floor, even though there was no one in front of him, he still felt a little awkward, "I don't remember much about yesterday, but thank you, Hanni pull."

BSU office building.

"We found out the details of the six corpses before, and every pair, without exception, was gay." Jack led Will into the forensic room, "This case is too involved now, we can't do it again Procrastinate. Will, try your abilities again."

He stood on the other side of the dissecting table and leaned forward, "I can't do anything about the other corpses, only this pair can be applied for investigation." He opened the body bag, "These two corpses are relatively well preserved, I hope You can make new discoveries."

These are the bodies of two men.

The cold air was still escaping upwards from the corpse, and the wound on the chest was cut open and stitched up, and the treatment was done neatly, which was the masterpiece of a skilled forensic doctor.Apart from gunshot wounds, the two had no extra trauma.

Will stood where he was, and Hannibal stood behind him, "Control your emotions, Will." Hannibal's eyes revealed trust, "Don't indulge too much in the murderer's sensory world, separate yourself, use from the perspective of a third party.”

Will didn't answer, he silently stared at the two dead bodies in front of him——

sad.

It was a sadness about the extreme despair of the world.

death.

It is an eternal haven from the cruel reality.

I clenched the gun tightly in my hand, my hand was trembling, but the muzzle of the gun was pressed tightly against his chest, I was crying, I was telling him sorry, sorry to kill you, it wasn't anyone's fault, It's me who wants to be free, and I can't bear it.

Will assumed the murderer's vision, and he vaguely felt the gaze of a third person beside him, that gaze was quiet and sad, as if urging him and trying to stop him.

It hurts so much, maybe death will help you stop this same pain.

Will's eye sockets began to turn red, his heart was twisted and squeezed, and painful juice flowed out, he began to tremble, he clenched his teeth desperately to calm himself down, the tense masseter muscles pulled his scalp, he felt bursts of pain dizziness.

The whole world in front of him began to look strange, like a huge mirror was broken.

The man's face is covered by a shattered lens, and Will sees the face of the mushroom breeder.

"You're excited, right? Killing makes you feel excited..."

Another lens floating in the air blocking the view is Hobbs, "You should be able to understand me, you know why I did this... Do you think Jiang is a monster? No, the person who is the monster is obviously you."

He held down the arm holding the gun and tried to press down, trying to make the front sight of the gun point to the ground, but he couldn't do it, he couldn't control his hand, his arm seemed to be suspended in the air by an invisible bandage, and he couldn't move—the only What can move is the index finger on the trigger.

"Don't be nervous." An arm stretched out from behind him, sticking to his arm, covering his right hand with his palm, and covering his index finger with his index finger. He smelled a faint breath of mint tobacco, and the voice seemed to be sticking On the top of his head, calm and at ease, "If they are dead, I must have shot them."

Under this familiar voice, he vaguely and unprecedentedly realized that he had hallucinations again, not the world of empathy, but a real hallucination.

He opened his eyes under Jack's worried gaze, failing to catch Hannibal's scrutiny.

"That Hopestone, she has a problem."

"Mrs. Stone has been participating in activities to support LGBT groups over the years." Brian finally relied on the first-hand information from the police station, and brazenly became Jiang Yuenian's partner again. "She started contacting these four years ago. It’s only been active for the past two years.”

Jiang Yuenian stared at the phone, turned off the screen for a while, and unlocked it with the fingerprint lock for a while, "Continue."

"When she has no activities, she will chat with some LGBT groups on the forum, and she has become a veteran figure in the past few years." Brian lowered his head and flicked through the information, and the pages were rattling, "She has been in several There are comments under this post, and she also said that she has opened a chat room, hoping that people with the same aspirations can join in.”

"Chat room?" Jiang Yuenian swiped his fingertips on the screen a few times, and finally put the phone back into his pocket, "What are they talking about?"

"I don't know, we haven't found out yet." Brian shrugged, and then immediately became excited again, "But there is a piece of news that must surprise you!"

"what?"

"The people in our information group screened all the posts that Hopestone left, and found an amazing coincidence." Brian covered his mouth with his hands, and leaned mysteriously beside Jiang Yuenian, "Those dead homosexuals , all of them have been posted on the Internet, and... there are all comments from Hopestone below!"

"Oh." Jiang Yuenian still walked forward with a blank expression, "Is there any other information?"

With a surprised expression of "you are not surprised by this", Brian trotted two steps to catch up with Jiang Yuenian.

"Hopstone's husband died of lung cancer when their son was still in elementary school." Brian handed the information to the absent-minded Jiang Yuenian, "Her son committed suicide five years ago, and she has been living alone since then .”

"Suicide?" Jiang Yuenian stopped in his tracks.

"Yes, as you guessed, her son is gay. He committed suicide because he couldn't bear the discrimination and pressure of society. I guess this is why she later supported the LGBT group." Jiang Yuenian flipped through the information. After making a noise, I finally saw a photo near the end.

The boy in the photo is dressed as a student, with slightly long black hair, the ends of which reach his shoulders, a thin upper body covered with a white shirt, empty, with a straight collarbone looming at the neckline.There was a hint of melancholy at the end of his eyebrows, his eyes were deep and bright, shining with a light called happiness, he was obviously smiling, but Jiang Yuenian somehow felt that the corners of his mouth were bent downward.

Contradictory people.

After Jiang Yuenian finished his conclusion, he continued to bring his thoughts back to the case, "How did he die?"

Brian paused for a moment, turning his head to look at Jiang Yuenian's reaction.

"Drink the bullet and kill yourself."

Jiang Yuenian continued to look down, and the boy's name was written in a line of small characters next to it——

He finally stopped and frowned slowly.

2. I saw a little cutie asking what is the relationship between the fruity green beetle at the end of the last chapter and Hopestone's support for LGBT.

Let me answer here. Jiang Yue met Mrs. Stone before. When he saw a person, he only had a vague feeling of deja vu. When he saw a car, he was completely sure. The specific plot is in Chapter 22.

3. In fact, on that day, Jiang Yuenian met the four most important people in this case at the same time: Ona and Marilyn, Alan Wake, and Hopestone.
