Fengqi Nancheng

In the middle of the night, at the entrance of the alley outside the old house area in the north of the city, a cat meowed twice.

The watchdogs raised by several families not far away heard the barking and responded for a while, barking back and forth for ten minutes before the area gradually returned to calm.

This is the old city in the north of the city, and it is also the so-called "slum area" among most of the population.Contrary to the high-rise buildings in the city center, apart from the original residents here, this area is already a few kilometers away where few people come and go. Although there are still more than a dozen families living here, they are tightly packed together to form several secret alleys. , but compared to the bustling outside, it is a bit too deserted.

The alley is not long, about 500 meters.There are four or five families on both sides, with a single courtyard. They are all houses built with red mud brick walls. A lot of sundries are piled up at the door, which makes the not-so-spacious alley even more congested.

There is a big banyan tree at the crossroads at the entrance of the alley. The canopy of the tree is wide open, covering a large area.Below the left side of the banyan tree is a red mud brick wall of a family. A lamp is hung on the brick wall. The light is very dim, but it is the only light source in the whole alley.

Lin Heng was hiding in a corner deep in the alley at this time. He hid himself behind a pile of thick cardboard boxes. Through the gaps in the cardboard boxes, his eyes were fixed on the front without blinking Under the semi-dark big banyan tree.

He's been staring at this place for four or ten minutes.

He is waiting for someone.

Maintaining the same posture for a long time made Lin Heng, who is not physically strong, feel a little overwhelmed.His body was already stiff, but he didn't dare to move at all. He gritted his teeth to resist the numbness gradually spreading in his legs, held his breath and continued to wait patiently.

According to the plan they made before they acted, if nothing else happened, that person would appear soon.

Sure enough, about ten minutes later, Lin Heng heard a burst of loose and crisp footsteps coming from the end of the alley.

The footsteps came very slowly, each step was very steady, but the sound spread far away, at first it sounded like the crisp sound of a pair of wooden clogs stepping on a stone slab.

As soon as Lin Heng heard it, his whole body tensed up immediately.He opened his eyes wide and looked under the banyan tree without blinking.

Slowly, he saw a black figure gradually protruding from the shadow behind the banyan tree.

—It was a very thin man.

He is less than 1.6 meters tall and surprisingly thin. If Lin Heng didn't know his identity and kept a high degree of attention, in such a blurred light, at first glance, he might just think he was floating in the dark a ray of wandering spirit.

He watched this person slowly walking in his direction. The excessive tension made him feel chills all over his body, but his thinking became extremely clear. He even felt that even his own vision seemed to be highly focused. Much better than before.

He clearly saw that person gradually walking into the area covered by the lights——

At this moment, a sudden change happened!

As soon as that person's body was exposed to the light, a strange change occurred immediately!

His whole body shrank suddenly, as if his skin had been burned by the light, he staggered and wanted to hide.Lin Heng saw that a large expanse of white smoke quickly appeared on the exposed skin of that person, as if his whole body was suddenly on fire, and the smoke continued to rise, and soon, his whole body was covered by thick smoke. Wrapped, and the withered and yellow arm that was exposed outside turned into a charcoal black color!

Lin Heng's eyes froze, he clenched the things in his hands and was about to rush up, suddenly!He heard a piercing scream from behind the big banyan tree directly in front of him!

The voice was very short, Lin Heng was startled, and heard Nan Yucheng's deep voice in the earphone: "The plan has changed, you hide here and don't move."

After finishing speaking, they actually cut off the contact, leaving Lin Heng huddled behind a pile of cardboard boxes.

Lin Heng was anxious in his heart, but he couldn't show it. He could only continue to stare at that person's figure.The man looked in extreme pain, his hands were constantly waving in the air, as if he wanted to block those invisible rays of light, he was so painful that he curled up and lay down on the ground, but he didn't make any sound, his body It was also impossible to see the specific injury situation under the dense fog.

And after the scream just now, the figure rolling on the ground seemed to have received a huge stimulus suddenly, and suddenly began to twitch violently.All of a sudden, his limbs were fully opened, shaking up and down uncontrollably. After about three or four minutes, his movements gradually slowed down, and slowly, there was no movement at all.

Lin Heng hid not far away and watched all these changes, feeling that the matter was about to end soon, and was about to poke his head out, when suddenly a hand stretched out from behind and pulled him back.

Lin Heng squatted for a long time, his limbs were so numb, he couldn't control himself and fell to the side when he was pulled by the person behind him. The person behind him obviously didn't expect him to have such a reaction, and he didn't have time to stabilize Lin Heng. Hearing a series of noises, the cardboard boxes piled up on the side were smashed into pieces by Lin Heng, and all the piles of things slid to the center of the alley at once, and the two people with the cat here instantly became extremely conspicuous.

At this moment, from the corner of his eye, Lin Heng saw another figure appearing from under the banyan tree not far away. It seemed that he was about to move towards the person on the ground. When he saw the movement from Lin Heng's side, , Immediately, like a frightened rabbit, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"You!" The person behind him obviously also saw this scene, seeing the murderer who had worked so hard to track down for half a month slipping away from under his nose, he suddenly became angry and cursed at Lin Heng : "What's the use of you other than to make trouble?! Tell you not to walk around, where are you going?!"

Lin Heng rubbed his numb legs, and then turned to look at the person behind him with complicated eyes.

This person is one of Nan Yucheng's right-hand men. His name is Cao Wei. He is 29 years old this year. He has been following Nan Yucheng since he graduated from university. It has been almost five years now. Among them, the one who has been with you for the longest time.People in the bureau joked that Cao Wei was Nan Yucheng's imperial forensic doctor, and Nan Yucheng himself was noncommittal about this.

But this is not what makes Lin Heng feel uncomfortable—in fact, when he first arrived at the police station, Lin Heng had expectations and good feelings for everyone, not just because he himself hoped to get the support of his new colleagues. Agreed, and more importantly, these people are all "comrades" who have experienced many hardships with Nanyucheng. He hopes that his existence can be accepted and recognized by them, so that they can feel that he is worthy of Nanyucheng this person.

However, this cautious expectation was completely broken on the first day I met Cao Wei.

When they met for the first time, Lin Heng could tell that this famous forensic doctor in a white coat who looked like a young college student disliked him very, very much.

Cao Wei looked at his own eyes, as if looking at some kind of extremely low and weak creature, especially when Lin Heng stood beside Nan Yucheng, that emotion almost reached a certain critical point. When his eyes met, he thought that this person could not help but kill himself.

Regarding this inexplicable hostility, Lin Heng was at a loss at first, but after inquiring about it with Yang Yang, Lin Heng finally found out: because the department they belong to in Nanyucheng is a relatively special department in the police station. People in the department are also quite open-minded and accepting when dealing with the phenomenon of strange power and chaos.From very early on, everyone has noticed Cao Wei's feelings for Nan Yucheng, and everyone agrees that the two are a good match, and secretly did a lot of things to match the two. Unexpectedly, Lin Heng suddenly appeared in the end , Hengkong took all of Nanyucheng's attention, which naturally made Cao Wei very upset.

Therefore, after knowing these truths, Lin Heng always has a very complicated feeling every time he faces Cao Wei.

There was some inexplicable guilt, some anger, and even a little fear. All kinds of feelings were tangled together, coupled with the situation in front of him, Lin Heng didn't know what to say for a while.

If he doesn't speak, it doesn't mean that Cao Wei doesn't speak.

Cao Wei was obviously holding back his anger and just took the opportunity to explode.Seeing that Lin Heng was still in a daze, refusing to move, he said, "Your family opened the police station? We worked so hard for so long, and finally got a clue to track it down here. It's because of you, Now everything is lost, are you happy?! Satisfied?! Is the young master still having fun?!"

"What's the noise?"

Just as Lin Heng was being scolded bloody, thinking about whether to defend himself, he heard Nan Yucheng come out from the place where he had been ambush before, and said indifferently: "There was a temporary change just now, I didn't have time to follow up with you." He made it clear, if you want to blame, blame me."

After speaking, he walked to Lin Heng, helped him up, and said softly, "Are you all right?"

Lin Heng shook his head, and with Nan Yucheng's support, he moved his limbs and felt the blood slowly filling his whole body. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Cao Wei with an ugly face, and said awkwardly: "I'm sorry. , to cause trouble for you. But I didn't mean it, anyway, there was one caught there, right?" As he spoke, he pointed to the man lying on the ground not far away, and smiled dryly.

Nan Yucheng smiled cooperatively: "Well, not bad. Officer Lin."

Lin Heng was about to say a few more words, when Cao Wei said coldly: "Then what should we do now, we managed to catch one, but we didn't expect that there was someone behind him. If I catch it again, I don’t know what year and month I will have to wait.”

"If it wasn't for today's release, we wouldn't know that there is someone behind him, which is a kind of harvest." Nan Yucheng didn't care, and instead ordered: "Go and see that person, if he is still alive Carry it back. Yang Yang and the others are guarding at the entrance of the alley, go over and ask them to help you."

Cao Wei looked at Lin Heng with a bad expression, and then he went reluctantly.

As soon as he left, Lin Heng breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on Nan Yucheng.

Nan Yucheng immediately hugged him and said with a smile, "Why, are you afraid?"

"Yeah." Lin Heng nodded weakly, then shook his head again: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I'm nervous. I didn't expect to mess it up in the end."

"It's not a mess." Nan Yucheng said: "Actually, I thought you wouldn't be able to hold the murderer out."

Lin Heng: "..."

"You really look up to me."

"En." Nan Yucheng nodded calmly: "Let's go, go home and sleep."
