match in black

When Lin Qian recovered, City C had already entered the cool autumn.

On the day he came home, the Gu family seemed to be celebrating a festival, and there was a joyful atmosphere everywhere.Although he is not Gu Shenzhi's child, he has been in the Gu family for five years, plus he is smart and polite since he was a child, so everyone in the Gu family likes him very much.Rong's mother specially made Lin Qian's favorite candied jujube steamed cake, and even Gu Shenzhi, who usually keeps his face secret, softened his expression a lot.Gu Jingxi remained expressionless as usual, but after getting along for a long time, Lin Qian gradually understood that this was just his usual little awkwardness.

The meal was peaceful, Lin Qian thought silently, it seemed that he hadn't eaten such a meal for a long time.In the past five years, Lin Qian has unknowingly become an indispensable part of the Gu family, he blended into the Gu family very naturally, and the Gu family readily accepted him.

"Speaking of which, it has been five years since Qian'er came to Gu's family." After the meal, Ye Lan wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and suddenly said, "Time flies, I still remember when you just came here When I was young, I was small, but now I have grown so much taller."

"Jing Xi has grown up too." Ye Lan looked at Gu Jingxi again. Her complexion in the past two days was much better than when she went to the hospital to visit Lin Qian, and her cheeks were more rosy. I'll definitely take good care of him."

She didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional when she said this, but Lin Qian remembered the night talk with Gu Shenzhi in the hospital, so he couldn't help but look up at her more.Ye Lan's expression was normal, Gu Shenzhi smiled, and softened his tone as if trying to make Ye Lan happy, but Lin Qian could hear the carelessness hidden in his voice:

"You are still young, so there is no need to rush this kind of thing."

With a sound of "boom", Gu Jingxi put down the knife and fork in his hand, wiped his mouth, and said expressionlessly: "I'm full, let's go upstairs first." After that, regardless of Gu Shenzhi's consent, he turned and walked up the stairs. building.

Ye Lan's complexion changed a few times, she was about to speak and held back several times, but in the end she couldn't swallow the breath, she just raised her head and gave Gu Shenzhi a forced smile:

"Be careful, I'm not feeling well, so I'm going back to my room first."

Gu Shenzhi, however, acted as if the little episode brought by Gu Jingxi just now had never existed, and nodded lightly, agreeing.Ye Lan went upstairs, only Lin Qian and Gu Shenzhi were left at the table, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.Lin Qian hesitated for a moment, but still put down the tableware in his hand, raised his head and looked at Gu Shenzhi inquiringly, as if silently asking himself if he could go back too.

Gu Shenzhi saw through Lin Qian's thoughts at a glance, smiled, and said as if he didn't care about the farce just now:

"Don't go back in a hurry, I'll take you to a place."

Since Lin Qian followed Gu Shen into the black Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle, it has been more than an hour on the road, but he still hasn't reached his destination.Gu Shenzhi didn't tell Lin Qian where they were going, and Lin Qian didn't ask, because he knew that if Gu Shenzhi wanted to tell him, he would speak directly; if he didn't want him to know, it would be useless for him to ask.

It was already dark, and Lin Qian could only tell from the scenery outside the window that they were driving on a small road to the suburbs.Because of the remoteness of the place, there are only trees that have turned black in the night, and there is no shadow of a passerby.And there are no street lights on the small road, only the headlights of commercial vehicles lighting up a small area ahead in vain in the dark.

Gu Shenzhi didn't speak a word all the way, just tapped on the window frame as if thinking about something.For some reason, Lin Qian intuitively felt that the closer they were to their destination, the more unspeakably anxious Gu Shenzhi became.Until the car stopped in front of a huge black Chinese-style hollow gate, the anxiety on Gu Shenzhi's body almost solidified, making Lin Qian a little out of breath.

"Get out of the car." As if wanting to ease the atmosphere, Gu Shenzhi patted Lin Qian on the head.

Lin Qian pushed open the car door, and a gust of cool wind rushed towards his face, bringing a slight chill in the autumn night.A black building came into view. This building has about two or three floors. It is not high, but it looks very grand for some reason.The outer layer of the building is a circle of layers of reliefs, which are indistinct under the dim light. Those windows are made of unknown materials, and it is pitch black without a trace of reflection.

Lin Qian stared at the building hidden in the night. For some reason, he felt that the building was like a living beast, ready to move in the darkness.

The iron door closed slowly behind them, and Gu Shenzhi's unwavering voice sounded from behind:

"Welcome to prison number four."

<<

The Gu family has four bases, Warehouse No. [-], Warehouse No. [-], Yard No. [-], and Prison No. [-].Warehouse No. [-] is the most common, and it is the stocking warehouse of the Gu family’s Baidao business; Warehouse No. [-] is the arsenal of the Gu family, which stores all kinds of guns and ammunition, and is maintained by dedicated personnel every day, so all the weapons in it can be used at any time; No. [-] The hospital is the general name of the private hospitals of the Gu family scattered all over the country. These hospitals provide medical services for ordinary citizens on weekdays. However, once they encounter serious casualties, they will be completely locked up and only receive the wounded for the Gu family; Prison No. [-] is just like its name , is the place where the Gu family permanently imprisoned some important people.

The Gu family has undergone several generations of changes, but the traditions of these four bases have been carried on by successive owners. It can be said that they are the foundation for the Gu family to live and work, and Prison No. [-] is the most mysterious one among them.

Lin Qian, who has gradually started to understand the Gu family's business in the past few years, has already heard about the former No. [-] base, but Gu Shenzhi has always kept the No. [-] prison secret, and every time he mentions it, he just ignores it lightly, as if unwilling Talk more.Lin Qian only knew that Prison No. [-] was a magical extrajudicial place, and those who were generally detained here were people who had posed a great threat to the Gu family. From the moment these people entered Prison No. [-], their names had been removed from this world. Since then, they have been just a ray of wandering spirits in this building.

Gu Shenzhi led Lin Qian into the elevator, and Lin Qian saw the floor buttons in the elevator, from the third floor all the way down to the negative tenth floor, it seems that the main body of this building is actually all underground.The security measures here are very strict, below the fifth floor, the fingerprints and iris recognition of high-level personnel are required to enter. Gu Shenzhi scanned his fingerprint and iris, and then pressed the sixth floor.

The elevator made a soft "ding" sound, and the elevator door opened slowly. Unlike Lin Qian's imagination, the light here is very bright, and a long corridor separates this floor into left and right sides.There are rooms of the same size side by side on the left and right. The glass of the rooms is transparent. You can see that some of them are empty, and some of them have people lying in them. These people are dressed in uniform white clothes like hospital gowns. They have different looks and shapes. The similarity is the same numb expression on the face.

"They..." Lin Qian hesitated to speak.

Gu Shenzhi glanced at him, as if he had guessed what he wanted to say, he patted his head:

"Don't worry, the Gu family generally don't use lynching casually. Xu Li made them look like this, and he is better at it."

Xu Li is the person in charge of Prison No. [-]. According to rumors, he is a very cold-blooded man.

Gu Shenzhi had already gotten used to the environment here, and led Lin Qian straight to the end of the corridor without stopping.At the end of the corridor, there is a room that is isolated separately. Unlike other rooms that can be seen from the outside at a glance, the glass of this room is not transparent.Gu Shenzhi opened the door, and Lin Qian saw that the room was divided into front and back like a police interrogation room. Behind the glass wall was a haggard man sitting with his head down, unable to see the expression on his face clearly; On their side sat a very handsome man, wearing a neat suit, holding a ballpoint pen up and down in his right hand.

Seeing Gu Shenzhi coming in, the man stood up from his seat and bowed slightly.

"As you ordered, the final question is reserved for your retrial."

Gu Shenzhi waved his hands, grabbed Lin Qian's shoulders and pushed him in front of the man: "No hurry, let you meet my son Lin Qian first."

The man nodded and stretched out his hand towards Lin Qian, without any surprise on his face: "Hello, I'm Xu Li."

Lin Qian held that hand and felt that the man's palm was not as cold as his expression, but was slightly warm.

Gu Shenzhi looked at the two with a satisfied expression, and finally picked up the topic just now.

"Have you found the basic information?"

Xu Li agreed, and read a passage like an endorsement: "Zhao Ping, a native of C City, his parents died early, and there is a ten-year-old younger sister at home, who usually handles low-end business on the black road. This time, the person who ambushed the Gu family The task was received with a reward, and the reward was very high. He said that the group of people who ambushed with him did not know each other, and he did not know who the employer was, but I judged that he should have contacted the employer, and he was the only one in the group Someone who might have information about an employer."

Xu Li dragged a chair for Gu Shenzhi and Lin Qian: "I'm only asking these questions so far, you and Young Master Lin will come with you for the next questions."

Gu Shenzhi sat on the chair, his posture was very loose, but his eyes were as sharp as knives.

"I'll just ask you a question, who asked you to do this?"

Gu Shenzhi's voice was not loud, but Zhao Ping's body suddenly trembled. He slowly raised his face, and Lin Qian saw that his eyes were black and blue, and his eyes were red and bloodshot. From a distance, he looked like an evil spirit. .But at this moment, his expression was actually very frightened, as if Gu Shenzhi asked some untouchable question, he just kept shaking his head, shaking like chaff.

"I can't say... I can't say this person's name. If I say it, I will die! I will die! I will die!"

Gu Shenzhi seemed to be very patient, and after the man calmed down, he spoke again.

"You will die if you say his name. If you don't say his name, I will let your sister die with you."

Zhao Ping was taken aback for a moment, and then yelled like crazy: "Are you crazy?! My sister is innocent! She doesn't know anything! Don't do anything to her!!"

"The dead don't have the right to negotiate." Gu Shenzhi interrupted him coldly, his eyes were ice-cold.

Zhao Ping screamed and spit out a mouthful of blood in a "wow": "I...I can't say it! I can't say it!"

Time passed by, Gu Shenzhi's face sank like water, and for a while, only Zhao Ping's heavy breathing was left in the room.

"If you make it clear, Gu Jiabao will protect your sister until she reaches adulthood."

Lin Qian, who had been sitting by the side without making a sound, suddenly spoke. His voice was still a childish voice. For the first time, Zhao Ping noticed this child who had been sitting next to him but hadn't spoken much. He was stunned. It was miraculously calmed down.

"Should... Seriously?"

"You are not joking." Gu Shenzhi agreed.

Zhao Ping stared at Lin Qian for a long while, thinking of someone, suddenly a soft look flashed across his eyes, making his expression less vicious.

He said something in a low voice, but Lin Qian didn't hear clearly, but Gu Shenzhi's complexion suddenly changed.Lin Qian wanted to ask another question, but heard a slight cracking sound, as if something had broken.

In the next second, Zhao Ping's rarely softened expression froze on his face, and a smear of blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth.

The author has something to say: Lin Qian: Xu Li is not the perverted uncle I imagined.

Gu Jingxi: Although he is not an uncle, he is a pervert.

Xu Li (smiling): I will lock you both in the dark room
