Floating Perfume Shop

When the muzzle of the black hole came in from the door, Zhou Tianhao was pressing Xiao Chongyun under him.He only glanced at it before rushing towards the gun.The trigger clicked, and a puff of blue smoke rose from the muzzle of the gun. Zhou Tianhao swayed, but did not fall down.He swiftly rushed to the gunman, pressed the gun body with his movable arm from the side, and relied on the huge inertia to press the gunman to the floor.

Suddenly there was a soft sound of bones breaking, but it was unclear whether it was from Zhou Tianhao or the gunman.

Zhou Tianhao bent his knees, rode tightly on the gunman, and shouted: "Senior Xiao, gun!"

Xiao Chongyun rushed over rolling and crawling, opened the palm of the suppressed person, and grabbed the pistol with all his strength.Zhou Tianhao took the gun with one hand, almost without looking at it, and shot through the man's shoulder blade.

The blood smeared from the shirt of the person below him, and then stained Zhou Tianhao's blood-stained clothes.

Xiao Chongyun suddenly discovered that this blood-stained coat had a deep red and dark spot on the abdomen, like a poppy blooming in the dark night.The gunman passed out. Zhou Tianhao looked at the corridor outside the viewing platform and found that no one turned back. He seemed relieved and slowly retracted his hand and pressed it on the crimson patch.

He was shot.

At first, when rushing towards the shooter, the bullet passed through his lower abdomen and stayed inside.During the whole fighting process, the high-speed rotating bullet was embedded deeper in the flesh and bone, causing more bleeding and more severe pain.It's just that during the whole process, Zhou Tianhao didn't say a word, he just held down the gun-wielding killer.

At this moment, he finally took a breath, his face was terribly pale: "Senior Xiao... don't be afraid, it's the anti-smuggling team..."

Xiao Chongyun didn't pay attention to the anti-smuggling team.The fight took all of Zhou Tianhao's strength, and his hand began to lose strength, and dark red blood overflowed from his fingers and flowed to the floor.Xiao Chongyun removed his hand, put it aside, and pressed his hands on the wound, trying to stop the bleeding.Big beads of sweat dripped from Zhou Tianhao's forehead, and his breathing became short of breath.

"Does it hurt?" Xiao Chongyun asked.

"pain."

"Be patient, the police will be here soon."

"Senior Xiao, give me a kiss... Maybe it won't hurt so much..."

Without even thinking about it, Xiao Chongyun leaned over and kissed Zhou Tianhao's forehead.If a gentle kiss can kiss away fine beads of sweat and uncontrollable pain, he is willing to keep kissing forever.

"No." Zhou Tianhao shook his head, "It's useless there."

Xiao Chongyun raised his head.

Zhou Tianhao opened his mouth with difficulty, almost unable to utter words: "...lips."

Xiao Chongyun was stunned.

He leaned over lightly, and kissed lightly on those blue-white lips.

"I can't ask for any more." Xiao Chongyun accused, "I'm helping you stop the bleeding."

Zhou Tianhao smiled.

Xiao Chongyun's hands were almost submerged in the sea of ​​blood, and this smile floated on Zhou Tianhao's bloodless face, which made him speechless with heartache.This is the first time that Xiao Chongyun really felt that no matter how hard he tried to save, his life was still like sand between his fingers, and quickly dispersed.

"Senior Xiao..." Zhou Tianhao looked at him tenderly, "Actually, there is nothing good in this country... the police are good... you pay the money and clues...they are willing to send the police..."

"In my tie, there is a miniature wiretapping device... As long as someone comes in, I can get evidence, and the private police will dispatch..."

Before coming to see Xiao Chongyun, Zhou Tianhao had already made some contact with the police system of country C, and even sponsored a large sum of money through other channels.He took the initiative to ask to enter the small building as an informant.Holding Wu Qi hostage was just a cheap plan Zhou Tianhao thought of.If this method can be used to take Xiao Chongyun out, everything will be fine.If he fails, his condition will be heard by the outside world.As soon as evidence emerges, the anti-smuggling police of country C will immediately dispatch to take down this smuggling den and do their best to save people.

That's why Zhou Tianhao walked in here as a spice dealer, and repeatedly bargained with the smugglers and talked about this topic.

Every word he said can be heard outside.

"Don't worry, after seeing you..." Zhou Tianhao narrowed his eyes, "I closed it..."

An unintelligible language sounded outside the door. Someone found them and shouted something outside.Uniformed police rushed in with stretchers.The doctor accompanying the team pulled Xiao Chongyun away and asked in stiff Chinese: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Xiao Chongyun staggered and was almost squeezed. Seeing Zhou Tianhao being carried on a stretcher, he ran with the stretcher.

"You!" the doctor shouted at him, "let go! let go!"

Xiao Chongyun lowered his head and found that it was not he who refused to let go, but Zhou Tianhao who grabbed his hand and did not let go.

Xiao Chongyun was anxious, and wanted to pull his hand back, but Zhou Tianhao, who had lost so much blood, actually interlocked with him as if desperately, and couldn't break it apart, as if his muscles were stiff.

"Let go." Xiao Chongyun shouted out of breath, "Zhou Tianhao, you..."

The stretcher team had no choice but to stop.Zhou Tianhao opened his mouth lightly, Xiao Chongyun leaned down, barely heard what he was saying.

"Senior Xiao, I'm afraid that as soon as I let go, you will disappear again...I'm sorry for you before...you just pretend to be me and die here...If I wake up, where will I find you?"

"At the place where you and I met for the first time." Xiao Chongyun said, "I'll wait for you there and never leave. Never leave!"

Zhou Tianhao nodded, and slowly, slowly removed the strength from his fingers.

His fingers were really frozen, and he finally let go with difficulty.

The stretcher team literally ran and boarded the nearest helicopter.Xiao Chongyun wanted to follow. A policeman from country C was behind him and patted him on the shoulder: "You, come with me later, and accept the investigation."

The emergency plane carrying Zhou Tianhao lifted off slowly and disappeared into the golden sunset.All the smugglers were hooked and confined in an open space.Except for the guarding police, the rest of the people walked around the ruins, searching for evidence, or picking up the corpses.

Wu Qi was not among those arrested, and no one found his body.This gloomy man disappeared quietly like the aroma of tea.

Xiao Chongyun waited for a while, then walked towards the lawn alone.

After the explosion, he never saw Zhang Wenshan again.

The lawn is the first place to be cleared.The corpses and stumps and arms had been removed, and the ground had only traces of chalk drawings and red marks left on the grass.These reds are intertwined with the rays of the setting sun, and the eyes only feel that they are brilliant and difficult to identify.

Xiao Chongyun walked along the edge of the white line, looking for the traces left by Zhang Wenshan.

He saw the white light of the explosion and heard the loud noise of the explosion, but he didn't believe that this man would just disappear like this.The policewoman who inspected the lawn told him in standard English that the deceased should be two Asians, one old and one relatively young.The explosive should be an improvised bomb stored in the cross-shaped ornament, and when the lanyard is pulled off, it will be automatically detonated.

The policewoman said, "I can't say anything more, unless you are a close relative."

"I'm a close relative." Xiao Chongyun nodded, "One of them may be my brother."

The female policeman was surprised: "—they said you are a hostage."

"Yes." Xiao Chongyun nodded, "I'm a hostage."

"You won't be able to identify the bodies until the investigation begins," the policeman told him sympathetically, "but then you shouldn't be able to identify anything, because the bomb was above the neck, too close to the head, and both of the dead—"

Xiao Chongyun didn't speak.

How could Zhang Wenshan die?

Even if he died, this man would live on, standing in the darkness, laughing at the whole world.

He stepped on something and looked down, it was a ring.

A plain silver ring with a platinum chain attached to it.The chain was clean and miraculously free of blood.Xiao Chongyun suddenly couldn't stand up anymore and knelt on the ground.

He held the ring in his hand, holding it until it got warm, and then slowly loosened it.Xiao Chongyun spread his left hand.There was a shallow mark on his ring finger, which was caused by wearing a ring that was difficult to remove for a long time.

Xiao Chongyun took the ring off the chain and slowly put it on his finger, perfectly covering the old mark.

Yes, he recognized it.

This is the ring between Zhang Wenshan and him.He took it out without warning after an intense sexual encounter, and put it on his left ring finger.And his own, with a platinum chain, has been hanging on his chest, under his buttoned shirt, which is rarely shown.Once Xiao Chongyun took off his pair of rings in private, and the next day Zhang Wenshan called a craftsman, and with his hand, he slightly adjusted the tightness of the ring, and it was difficult to take it off afterwards.

Even the process of trying to take it will be painful.

Later, Xiao Chongyun fled back to the mainland with the little ghost, and went to the fire brigade to take off the shackles with special tools.

He knelt on the ground and put the ringed finger on his chest.

"elder brother."

"elder brother."

"Goodbye." Xiao Chongyun whispered, "Brother."

He couldn't remember how long he knelt on this grass, until the sun went down, dusk fell, and the sky turned a cool blue like ink.The wind rose from an invisible place and swirled among the grass. The policewoman from before gently patted him on the back and pulled him up: "Let's go."

"What's the matter with you." The policeman asked him, "Are you uncomfortable?"

"No."

"Just now the ambulance team sent news that your friend, Mr. Zhou, is not injured as badly as it looks." She said, "He had a passport in his coat pocket. When the bullet passed through the passport, it slowed down a little. Injured internal organs."

"Think of something good." The policewoman smiled at him, "You survived, and the future will definitely be better than the present."

"I think," Xiao Chongyun said softly, "I have a little hallucination. I smell the fragrance of Guerlain's melancholy."

"No, it might not be a hallucination." The female policeman was dumbfounded. "'Melancholy' is my favorite perfume. I used it two days ago, on the weekend, and maybe there is still a little smell left on the shirt..."

"You must have a good nose. I can't smell it at all," she said. "You are suitable as a perfumer."

"Thank you." Xiao Chongyun said.

He sat in the police station for questioning and finally saw the passport.

That was Xiao Chongyun's own passport.The passport had a hole pierced by a bullet, and the inside pages seemed to have been soaked in blood, making it unusable for a long time.Xiao Chongyun carefully turned over a page, which happened to turn to the record of his first trip to Malaysia.

That was the record of him going abroad with the kid and participating in the perfume rookie show.He only left the country, but never entered the country. Since then, he has been using the false identity given to him by Zhang Wenshan. In the national system, he will never use Xiao Chongyun's real name again.This should have been in Zhang Wenshan's hands, but Zhou Tianhao took it with him.

Xiao Chongyun turned another page, and it turned out to be the exit record and a supplementary stamp.

There was a note in the passport, soaked in blood, it was hard to see clearly.Probably originally wanted to hand it over to him face to face along with the passport.Facing the light, Xiao Chongyun barely recognized Zhou Tianhao's handwriting: Senior Xiao, welcome home.
