Daqing Criminal Division

At this moment, it is the climax of the moon.

There was no one at the entrance of the dark alley, Fu Yu and Duan Xiao sat alone on the stone steps where a little snow fell from the doorway, lowered their heads and looked at the snow field not far away, Duan Xiao, who was narrating the case in his mouth, had one arm resting on his shoulders. on his own knees.

On top of one of his legs was his hand with clear palm lines, which was a bit cold no matter how much he covered it.

A black cloak is still half-draped on one shoulder slanted forward, and a pen is held forward in his hand, with the tip of the pen pointing down, and he draws with it, using it to draw a picture on the snow in front of him. The composition of key interests of Tongtiansou's internal interests.

This chain of clues constitutes all the cases that the two of them have personally experienced since they came from Songyang this year.

Starting from the Stone Bodhisattva case, to an attack in Shuntian that almost caused a commotion in the city the day before yesterday, all of them are closely linked, but they also point to a key puzzle that the two have been pursuing along the way.

Before that, the two of them rarely talked about their past so seriously.

It was also at this time that Fu Yu and Duan Xiao were able to bury their heads and chat about private affairs other than their personal affairs, taking advantage of the fact that no one could appear to distract them.

As for why Fu Yu lived in Songyang County incognito by himself at that time.

Or why Duan Xiao ran around the country alone as a co-author at the beginning, they didn't mention it explicitly.

But it is also in this situation that some secrets hidden deep in their hearts will be willing to mention some of them on the premise that they are the most unreserved.

"At that time, I was still maintaining my eyes and the old wounds left by the ammunition in my skull, but the wounds didn't improve, and I was in a bad mood. Then, Master Haiwang asked me to go to Songyang to find someone. "

Standing next to him at a distance, Fu Yu, with one gray eye gleaming dimly, leaned against the masonry wall behind him, recalling himself at that time, and told Duan Xiao the truth about what happened in the past. .

He has always been a person who counts wherever he goes, and it is okay to say that he has a distance from this world, and it is okay to say that his nature is like this.

But when Fu Yu and Duan Xiao talked about these things in person, a long black braid hung down their shoulders, leaving the front of the clothes open, and a hand with a black fingertip fell on his knee, but it also brought After rubbing it thoughtfully, he raised his eyes and looked at the night sky, showing a trace of the expression in his memory.

"Who are you looking for?"

Knowing that his injury was serious at one time, and even affected Fu Yu's actions, Duan Xiao, who was able to walk and other normal abilities, asked him thoughtfully next to his shoulder, which had now fully recovered to health and vitality.

"For a long time, I didn't understand it, because it was said at the time that it was a person who was probably not dead but alive in the world. This is also a secret that has not been solved by itself."

"Later, I searched for this person in Songyang for a long time."

"Until one day, you happened to come to Songyang and came before my eyes again. Then, I saw the arhat money on the red line on Yuanbao beside you."

With arms crossed and Fu Yu resting on the back of his head, he paused slightly as he spoke.

The Luohanqian under the red line is the pause point of his sentence to remind the key points. He looked at the lively and active pony tied to the door not far away, and then he paused before continuing.

"Brother Bao, maybe it's the person Hai Dongqing asked me to find at the beginning."

"So, when I first saw you in Songyang, I knew he was not your son."

"He may be a survivor in this series of previous cases, and he may be a witness who may be helpful to everything, but he is with you, and I also want to see who you are, but later, I found out that you In fact, we are also investigating the matter of spiders, and you also know about other matters after that."

"Our case in Chuzhou was a turning point. It wasn't just Yang Qingbing, who was born as a Jinshi, who brought us the clues of Ma Ye for the first time. In fact, the existence of Fu Sunxian, the murderer, is also very special. Remember, In his original confession, did he say that he was employed by a Taizhou businessman for a long time, and he drew many weird and terrifying pictures of spring boudoirs for him, and he didn't know where to sell them?"

It has been a long time since this case, but Fu Yu's words are not groundless at this moment.

Because before that, that is, on the [-]th of this month, after Yu Donglai's testimony was received, Duan Xiao also went to see Boss Tingyu once by himself.

Since returning to Shuntian, this is the first time Duan Xiao met his real immediate boss.

The relationship between the two as upper and lower officials, they had a lot of contact five years ago, and even when Duan Xiao left the capital, there was an old man who secretly helped him. Boss Tingyu is just like the rumors, he is a strange person who has been very capable for half his life. There are many folk rumors about him, which spread his reputation as a god.

This is also the reason why he was able to appoint the flamboyant Wang Jie in the previous five years, and he could also hand over the big job to Duan Xiao again. Those who benefit the country and the world are the ones that the old man should choose.

Now he is old and has not been on the mountain for a long time, but this time the two of them met alone at the teahouse overlooking the entire Forbidden City and facing the Dabaoen Temple.

Boss Tingyu, who came out specially to meet him once, was only wearing regular clothes, with full hair, but he could be seen to be in high spirits, and he would find Duan Xiao, because he wanted to tell an old case.

"Boss Tingyu."

Facing such an old man, Duan Xiao knew that no matter how thoughtful he was, he didn't need to play in front of him, so he just greeted him in the most respectful language.

"Well, Yuheng, sit down."

Seeing him coming up from the wooden spiral staircase below, the veteran of the three dynasties retracted his light brown eyes and nodded thoughtfully, and motioned for him to sit down before pouring a cup of tea. The two talked carefully.

"I know that the fourth spider, Yu Donglai, who has been lurking in the Nanjun plane for many years, has been arrested. I also know that you have been waiting for an opportunity for five years. Now that the living Buddha's entry into Beijing has come to an end, everything is waiting for the truth to be revealed."

"Now, I also want to show you something."

At that moment, dozens of unsightly scrolls were spread out in front of Duan Xiao, including pictures of people raping animals, pictures of severed heads, and various scrolls of unknown origin. It is a fabrication, but it seems that the painter recorded some tragedies that actually happened.

Duan Xiao didn't know what Zhang Tingyu meant when he faced these scrolls, but immediately after, the old man told him the true origin of these scrolls.

"Half a month before you returned to Beijing, that is, on the third day of junior high school, a Zhang Jing who came from other places handed over these four cases together to Shuntian Mansion."

——So, on the streets of Shuntian that day, there was indeed a Southern Army Ji Zhangjing who traveled thousands of miles to Beijing and brought a secret report.

"Four cases?"

Duan Xiao noticed something was wrong and asked.

"Yes, the four cases occurred in different provinces across the country, but the only clues they left point to the same place - Shuntian, what is drawn in the scroll is this dark web transaction. Four clues to the victim, this time after the three-day fixed rest between North Korea and China after the snow, the Southern Military Aircraft and all parties will start a formal investigation into this case."

"At that time, I want you to represent me and be the top leader in the Southern Army's aircraft meeting."

"This is the first time you have officially appeared in front of everyone since you came back. This case is very important to the Nanjun aircraft and to yourself."

"At that time, you must take care of it and protect yourself."

At that moment, Boss Tingyu, who couldn't deal with this matter, gave a very clear hint.

How to handle it, how to solve the final case this time, depends on Duan Xiao himself.

"So, a dark thread in the Chuzhou case may also involve the dark web transactions of those spiders inside Tongtiansou."

But at the moment, before the end of the memory of the conversation with the old man in his mind, Duan Xiao returned to Fu Yu to continue the words.

"Yes."

He was chatting with him about the previous case, and Fu Yu nodded as he spoke.

"Brother Bao, as a witness, doesn't remember anything. He is just a very ordinary and smart child now. It is impossible for Hai Dongqing to say anything more from him, so he grows up well, and what is really going on in his life? I can't think of it, maybe it should be a very good thing for him."

This is the first time that Fu Yu has taken the initiative to talk about this matter to Duan Xiao.

Arhat money represents the hidden forces behind the Five Pigs case.

Duan Xiao has always known that the source behind the investigation of the two of them is actually the same thing, but after the case of the Living Buddha entered Beijing, when the last bit of the truth was revealed, Duan Xiao took the initiative to bring up a matter about his past with Fu Yu. thing.

"Have you heard of the fish maw case?"

Having said that, looking at Fu Yu in front of him, if they hadn't seen each other recovering to a state of health, with clear eyes, it would be hard for them to believe that someone like the other would have such a long period of low ebb.

But there are some things in this world that are just like that.

Both he and Fu Yu had their own low tides and losses, when they were confused or gave up on themselves for a long time, but they also experienced such a long winter time together, and finally came to this point, being able to face together what is important to the two people's past lives. the most important stage.

"Well, I've heard that Duan Yuheng's famous case has been admired for a long time."

Sitting in front of him and talking to him every sentence, Fu Yu propped his chin, leaned forward and looked back at him like this.

"Many people say that I tortured that cruel official for personal revenge, but in fact, the case itself was not considered solved back then. Do you know why?"

Duan Xiao also raised his eyes and asked Fu Yu this question.

This is a strange-sounding statement.

In fact, Duan Xiao is a rare person who would take the initiative to expose his old scars so ruthlessly.

He is a very cold and ruthless person who requires extreme perfection in everything and is very strict with himself. He hates to expose his scars and old wounds for others to see. It made him feel insecure that others would find his weaknesses in his self-esteem and pride.

But facing Fu Yu.

The deepest and darkest secret he hides in his heart is not something he can't say.

Because both Fu Yu and him have come out of that period of insecurity, and are able to rationally and perfectly face this question about their past.

So even though the two were just sitting and talking together, Duan Xiao said slowly in a tone that only getting close to Fu Yu could gain a little strength in his heart,

"The 'fish' that killed Aqiao and many people, whom I hated to the core and was already dead, finally said some strange things to me in prison."

"And many years after that, in the case of the five pigs, the last murderer, that is, the fifth person since Cui Huagu, Cui Dongting, Baltu, and Yu Donglai—Yizhu also told me Exactly the same words."

"They all said to me, Duan Yuheng, do you still remember what I said to you back then?"

"Human life in this world is not in your eyes. You are smarter and colder than ordinary people. Regarding the matter of life, the longer time passes, the more indifferent you will feel."

"In the beginning, you will feel that killing others is not a particularly cruel thing. People are like cattle and sheep, and you have no fluctuations. Gradually, you will also like the feeling of killing a person."

"Just like your father, on the surface he looks like a great Confucian, but he is also a cannibal in the true sense. You have inherited all the flesh and blood in his body, so you are naturally an out-and-out natural monster."

"This is your...destination that you will never turn back in this life."

The conversation in the memory accompanied by the dark night and the severe pain once again filled Duan Xiao's mind. Although a long time has passed, he still remembers every word, including the meaning behind that sentence clearly. Chu.

After Duan Xiao finished speaking, he even felt his palms were cold, so he subconsciously wiped his palms, looked at the same piece of snow in front of himself and Fu Yu, and then continued the previous words in a very calm tone,

"My father died of a family disease. I was beaten by him for a long time. After that, some symptoms similar to his appeared. Few people know about it, but these people seem to be very familiar with it. my past."

"There are only two possibilities. One, the person who said this is my close relative, but my close relative has died long ago, and it is impossible to bring him back to life. Then there is only the second possibility. This group of people knows Duan Yuheng better than anyone else in the world. In other words, they hold many people's information, origins and secrets."

"It's really my greatest weakness."

"The existence of that world cannot be touched by me at the moment, and no one will even believe what I say."

"That's why I left the capital and went to Yanzhou, Datong, and Songyang in the past five years, and later I went to many places in Jiangning and Lin'an with you. During this process, we saw so many cases. , fake copper coins, and hemp leaf transactions, in fact, there has always been a dark thread operating all of this.”

"Outsiders have never seen through it. It was not until after the Five Pigs case, when I tried to solve the mystery, that I discovered that I had inadvertently come into contact with a mysterious and unpredictable world."

"This dark thread is like the white spider silk of spiders. Spiders can complete their internal connections through this, including what we monitor.

"And according to my guess, this is—Tongtiansou."

Having said this, a very important question arises.

What exactly is Tongtiansou?

According to the clues given by Boss Tingyu that day, and the descriptions of many related parties who have personally experienced similar cases in the previous dynasty in their own words afterwards, it should be a special network for special sales, transactions and criminal contacts.

There was once such a saying among the people of this dynasty.

Everyone who has a way to enter the world of Tongtianshou will have a special identity. After you have it, you can have another identity in the world of Tongtiansou besides ordinary people.

If ordinary people have doubts in their minds, they can get answers to any questions through Tongtiansou.

Over time, not only in Shuntian Mansion, but also in the yamen of every prefecture, everyone knows the name Tongtiansou.

It is not a single person, or a few meddlesome people, but a huge, mysterious underground organization, completely composed of illusory and unknowable forces.

In Tongtiansou's dark web world, you can easily check your personal household registration in the government and modify your previous illegal records.

And draw out your own information world, but there will also be people lurking in it to commit unknown crimes. You can buy and sell people, hire and kill people, embezzle and accept bribes, and publish your evil deeds on Tongtianshou.

Every day, countless innocent people disappear from Tongtianshou and die in vain.

But ordinary people can't find out what kind of world it is. In this world, there are countless Tongtianshou who hide outside the world of ordinary people.

"I went to Yanzhou Prefecture back then, before I became a patriarch."

"I have seen a series of bizarre cases with my own eyes. There was a local businessman with a daughter named Baoqing."

"One day, she disappeared mysteriously in her own boudoir. The family members reported to the officials, but after searching the whole city, no one was found. Seven days later, someone claimed that the beheaded head of the young lady who had left the house was found in Tongtian old man. The price is [-] taels for auction."

"The rest of her body has disappeared, been sold piecemeal, or disposed of by murderers, but no one knows how she fell into the hands of the spider in the first place, or how the head was finally sold But this incident was the beginning of the Tongtiansou incident being known to the court."

"Well, so, to find out who the last spider is, and how all this has anything to do with Tong Tianshou, we can only find a way to solve this doubt."

Both of them agree with this conclusion.

But the specific case of Tong Tiansou has to wait until the public discussion of all parties tomorrow, so after that, the two of them put aside the matter of the case for the time being, and chatted a few other words.

Among them, somehow, they talked about the memory of the year when they were eighteen or nineteen years old and still swayed freedom for their personal ambitions.

"The first time I met Shizong back then, I was disowned."

As Duan Xiao said, he also glanced at the side who seemed to be in smooth sailing, but he also said something to Fu Yu, who finally got together with him.

"Everyone thinks that I, a humble kid with no background, will never be able to become a master in the Forbidden City."

"why."

Fu Yu leaned against the wall behind him together, and the two talked about their aspirations and ideals one after the other, but they didn't feel that this moment was too long.

"Because fate is the original sin, they think my fate should be like this, but I don't believe in fate, Fu Yu."

"Those court officials who are as frivolous and conceited as Wang Jie and others have not been tested by the outside world for a long time, let me dance a dance in front of everyone like a palace lady for their entertainment, but since they wanted me to dance, I danced, not only that , I deliberately pretended to be drunk and made trouble and beat someone."

"Oh, what about after getting drunk and making trouble in public on purpose?"

I can fully imagine how the tough-tempered, insidious and cunning young Duan Junji would openly "perform" with confidence. Hearing what he said, Fu Yu's mouth turned up, but he also held one of his hands, deeply I am deeply fascinated by such a confident person.

Duan Xiao didn't really want to talk about this question, but there was actually one person who had the right to speak.

This person is Dahasu, an insider of Duan Junji's various past deeds——

"What else can I do, the lady in the capital, the princess in the palace is going to marry Duan Yuheng now, but he is a monk who is too famous for not marrying, so forget about these things later, but the young Jinshi drunk Qionghua, but So famous haha."

Every time Dahasu mentions this matter now, he always talks about it with great interest, as if if he is given another ten years, he will never forget that this man surnamed Duan was the only "boy" at the Qionghua Banquet. frivolous' that time.

But at the moment, Fu Yu, who was playing with him here, actually asked Duan Xiao to come and show him again, but as expected, Duan Junji, who was more arrogant than anyone else in his family, immediately rejected this request.

"Do you really want to see it?"

"Yeah, I can't be the only one who hasn't seen it."

Fu Yu also said happily.

Duan Xiao squinted his eyes as if you were asking the question knowingly again, but the next move of Duan Xiao, who was obviously bigger than anyone else, was quite cute.

Because, immediately after, our adult Duan Junji actually stood up so seriously, and gave Fu Yu a real dance by himself on this night when there were only the two of them facing the moon and stars.

What is the difference between the young Duan Junji who became interested after drinking and the Duan Junji who is now.

That probably faded away the youthful spirit of the past, leaving behind an inexplicable mature character and courage. Not only is Duan Xiao not ugly at all, but it is unique, and only Fu Yu can see it, or will be able to see it. Remember the chicness of a lifetime.

——This time, the title of the song will be drinking.

【"You don't see me."】

【"The water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns."】

【"You don't see me."】

【"Gaotang Mingjing's sad and white hair, like blue silk in the morning and snow in the evening."】

【"Life is proud to be thoroughly enjoyed themselves."】

【"Don't make the golden cup empty to the moon."】

【"I am born to be useful,"】

【"When all the gold is gone, it will come back."】

This is not the way a woman communicates love to a man.

More like Fu Yu and Duan Xiao.

These two indomitable men, who were also alive, walked all the way from the other side of the mountains and rivers, and their friendship, heart, and ambition were clearly swayed by Duan Ou's way.

The cloak in the snow fluttered with the wind, Duan Xiao's black braids were scattered on his shoulders when he turned his back to him, Fu Yu's hand on his lap, and his eyes that had been staring at him all the time stopped for a moment.

If it is said that the young Jinshi back then was one of the few officials at the Qionglin Banquet who was not afraid of power and dignitaries, it was like 200 years of glory.

Now Duan Xiao danced in the snow with the alcoholic dance of the two with their hearts open.

But the real sharpness is revealed, like the snow on the blade, full of strength, dazzling than mountains and rivers, shoulder to shoulder with the sun and the moon, really a peerless talent, unparalleled in the world.

The relationship between the two of them is not as simple as one person's competitors.

Leveraging strength to ascend the heavens and cross the Forbidden City, this time is not only to find out the truth, but also a great opportunity to break through the predicament and climb to the top again.

So, in time for tomorrow, the next battle seems inevitable, until the people who drink, sing and dance for him under the moon finally stop,

"Fu Yu."

"It is impossible for me to serve the king for anyone in this life, but you have to understand that in this life, my heart is only for the heavy snow that you stay in the Forbidden City alone."

"I believe that I will not lose to my life, I am no different from everyone else."

"You also have to believe in yourself. You have a pair of eyes that are brighter than anyone else in the world and can see everything clearly."

"Well, good, Duan Yuheng."

Looking into his eyes, as if returning to the moment when the two met for the first time, Fu Yu also answered him firmly.

"We two, have nothing to fear."

"Everything, the future will last forever."

1740

Suncheon

This night, as if to meet the many business affairs that were destined to be busy in the future, two people who were supposed to be the busiest in the capital stayed together until midnight.

The two didn't do anything after that, they just held hands and watched the snow together under the eaves for a while, because Fu Yu and Duan Xiao actually knew that no matter who wins the next round, they will have to play here. It's about winning or losing.

At night, the capital fell into a kind of silence as usual, and the air of cold winter entered the Forbidden City.

The next day, with the dawn of the sky, Fu Yu and Duan Xiao went out on time early in the morning to report to Haidongqing and Nanjun respectively.

Today is the first day of the end of the North Korea-China Muxiu.

Before going out to the Hall of Supreme Harmony with the official sedan chair that was waiting early at the door, Duan Xiao took out the bright red court beads from the warm pavilion on the bed at home, and took out the new official uniform for the top wear.

Since the first public meeting between the court and the central government since the Living Buddha came to Beijing was not as usual, the dress requirements for everyone attending the meeting were much stricter than usual.

It is rare for Duan Xiao to dress so deliberately in front of people that he wants to overwhelm them.

But today, the hair on the sideburns is very in line with the ritual system, and there is a sense of coldness and austerity. He is wearing a dark blue court dress with a top hat, bright court beads against his complexion, and after he puts on a gray-white fox fur cloak, his whole person really begins to have a sense of calmness. A sense of sternness that is not angry and majestic.

"Duan Junji."

Seeing him come out, he personally opened the sedan door for the man who was about to take over as the top leader of the Nanjunji. After seeing Duan Xiaoduan sat down, his chief follower and the newly appointed Zhang Jing asked respectfully outside the sedan chair.

"Well, let's go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

Duan Xiao sat in the sedan chair and closed his eyes without speaking, but his eyes had completely lost their personal emotions, leaving only the original clarity.

At this moment, there is no Duan Owl in the world.

There is only one Duan Yuheng, who is about to show his talents again, and is in the Forbidden City.

And his opponent was waiting for him at the other end.

"Yes."

"Yes, get up the sedan chair and send your lord to court—"

The author has something to say: I'm sorry, because this is the plot chapter of the last unit, I want to write it in a rounded way in all aspects, not anticlimactic, so this chapter took a long time to think about the transition.

The good news is that I have written both the ending and the climax.

What is missing now is the plot filling that has been set in the middle. In the past two days, I will try to update as much as possible, and then we will usher in a perfect ending in one go. Absolutely, absolutely no regrets!grateful!
