The weather in Xiangcheng is much hotter than in Tibet. It was June and the sun was hot but not scorching. The haze has also shrunk in this season, the sky is blue and the clouds are white, and the Xiangjiang River is clear and blue. It is a rare good weather.
You Mingxu, wearing only a short-sleeved shirt, got off the plane with his colleagues, and was also escorted by Gu Tiancheng. Having been on the road for the past two days, You Mingxu had only met him from a distance and had never spoken to him. The man was silent all the way, but also very calm, without any sign of panic or distress after being caught. A person like him has probably already stayed in his own world and given up everything outside.
A group of policemen got into the police car and rushed back to the police station. Several police officers from Tibet are also accompanying them and will interrogate the suspect together.
This series of cases occurred in a short period of time and the methods used to commit the crimes were cruel and covert. Although only less than a few weeks had passed, it had a huge impact in Xiangcheng, Tibet and even the whole country. Fortunately, the case was solved quickly. At this time, the policemen were sitting in the car, chatting and laughing. The atmosphere was relaxed. Some even said that You Mingxu would treat them because they might be able to make a contribution this time.
You Mingxu smiled faintly and said, "Okay, if you give me credit, I'll allow you to have a feast."
The brothers laughed. Fan Jia said, "Sister You, Sister You, I want to eat crayfish."
You Mingxu: "No problem."
The brothers in the criminal police team have complicated feelings about this branch of Yueshan Police Station. On the one hand, You Mingxu is indeed beautiful, fair but not gaudy, thin but not skinny, graceful and exquisite, and is no worse than those female stars, okay? On the other hand, this flower is so fierce. He is usually very arrogant and will say something to you from time to time. She always looks at you with those almond-shaped eyes, which makes you feel uneasy. She also won championship in a provincial public security competition and is said to have practiced judo for more than ten years. In other words, she is the best fighter in the entire police station. So you want to pursue her? Think about it first, can you control it? Are you worthy of it?
Of course, there were people from other teams who were ready to make a move, but for those who were reserved, You Mingxu simply said, "I'm not interested in you." For those who kept pestering her, she just said one word, "Get lost."
Gradually, the man began to feel a little scared. Gradually, they fought side by side more and more often. You Mingxu was good at fighting, enduring, fierce and ruthless, so those in the same team no longer treated her as a woman. Those outside the team could only look at this flower on the mountain from afar and dare not touch it.
However, everyone has thought about the same question: Who will take this thorny flower away in the end? Anyway, he has to be a person that people can respect, otherwise the entire police station won't do it.
The Yueshan Branch is located at the foot of Yuelu Mountain. It consists of several solemn white houses, quiet and majestic. Several police cars stopped, You Mingxu jumped out, and several brothers in the team followed her. The group had only walked a few steps when someone ran over and whispered to her, "Sister You, Gu Tiancheng said he wants to talk to you first before he will cooperate with the interrogation."
You Mingxu looked up and saw that under the big tree in the yard, the man had changed into a clean T-shirt and casual pants. He was being escorted by two policemen and handcuffed. He seemed to be looking at this side.
You Mingxu said, "Okay."
A brother at the back asked, "Sister You, are you okay?"
"It's okay. You go in first."
The lights in the interrogation room were bright and there was a faint sound of electric current, making the closed room seem even quieter and more empty. Gu Tiancheng sat alone behind the table, with his handcuffed hands placed under the table. There was no expression on his face and he was very quiet.
The door opened and You Mingxu walked in alone. She had changed into a police uniform and her hair was tied into a ponytail. Gu Tiancheng kept staring at her and actually sensed a bit of greed and excitement in her heart. He smiled to himself.
You Mingxu seemed unaware. He pulled out a chair and sat down. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one and handed it to him. He took it with a smile: "Thanks."
"What do you want to talk to me about?" she asked.
"Nothing, I just wanted to see you."
She said: "Just give a good account. If you confess, you will be treated leniently. If you resist, you will be treated severely. But in your case, there is no room for maneuver. Just consider it as giving an explanation to the families of the victims outside and accumulating some good karma for yourself."
He exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "I don't care about them."
You Mingxu smiled: "What did you care about?"
He said, "You are the end of my journey. I regret that I couldn't kill you. But I seemed quite willing to be caught by you. I actually cherish you very much. Maybe I understand and cherish you better than anyone else around you. Do you believe it? I called you here today to tell you a few words: life is actually not worth it. Especially for a woman like you, who takes some things too seriously and guards them too loyally. If you are betrayed or wronged in the future, you will be finished. You look smart, but you don't have many brains. Don't be silly, human nature is not a good thing. Those people you protect are not worth it. Only you are worth it. How Mingtao dragged you into the water at that time, and how Zou Furong and Song Lan finally left you and ran away, have you forgotten? Remember my words, if you don't work for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. Don't be silly anymore. I really love you. I will never forget our love until I die. I also hope you don't forget, and always remember these words I left for you."
You Mingxu was silent for a moment, then smiled and replied, "You are indeed hopeless. You are already 28 years old, but your perception of the world and people is still as childish and narrow as that of a child. What is important in life is not how others see me or treat me, but what kind of person I am, and I live like myself every day, even if there is only one day left. You think you live a detached life and don't take others seriously. In fact, what you just said shows that from the beginning to the end, you have been living in the opinions of others and caring about how others treat you. It is these things, being deeply trapped in these things, that drive you crazy step by step, right? Okay, I understand. You are actually a child who has been hurt and can never stand up again. You are desperately and willfully killing people to prove yourself and let others see yourself. Gu Tiancheng, your life is not worth it. You didn't live it well."
Gu Tiancheng didn't say anything, and his facial lines finally became a little stiff. After a while, he looked up and smiled. You Mingxu saw that his eyes were red and there seemed to be a flash of tears in his eyes. But he is not the kind of person who sheds tears. He just pursed his lips tightly. Soon, that face relaxed again, and the expression was as calm as usual.
You Mingxu stood up and said, "Also, I'm not as miserable as you say. I can entrust my life to every brother around me. Even if I die for one of them, for a stranger like Mingtao, it is my duty as a policeman. What's the problem? Also, don't talk about love all the time. Do you take me seriously when I'm undercover? I'm sorry, I've dumped more men than you have touched women. You are just an average...low-end one among them. Don't worry about me, don't worry about me even if you die, I will never be responsible. Okay, I'm leaving. You should explain yourself. Gu Tiancheng, before you die, be yourself for once."
You Mingxu walked out of the interrogation room, and there was silence behind him. She closed the door and two policemen came over to take over. The sun was already setting in the west, and the corridor was filled with long shadows cast by the sun, making it bright and quiet. She walked to the window, stood there and smoked for a while, then felt a little annoyed about her smoking addiction. He threw away the remaining half of the cigarette and walked towards the office.
But in the hall, I saw a group of people. Most of the elderly couples had tears in their eyes and were very emotional. She knew that these were the families of the victims of the highway serial murders. She looked at them quietly for a few seconds, then turned and walked away.
That day, everyone worked until late at night before leaving get off work. You Mingxu was also exhausted. They had arrived in Xiangcheng this morning. Now she just wanted to go back to her nest as soon as possible, sleep soundly and forget everything.
Before leaving, Fan Jia came over with an armful of files. You Mingxu asked casually, "Did Gu Tiancheng deliver?"
Fan Jia nodded: "I have explained. He is quite cooperative, but he doesn't talk much. I think he is always a little distracted."
You Mingxu was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Let's go."
The night in early summer is cool and clear, with the sky full of stars. There were still many lights on in the police station building at this time. You Mingxu felt that they looked like steel giants, just sitting there silently. At this moment, the fatigue that had accumulated over the past few days was about to swallow her like a tide. She walked out of the police station and waited for a taxi.
Out of her police intuition, she quickly noticed that there was a car parked on the side of the road, a black BMW with its hazard lights on, and no one in the car. She looked to the side again and saw three figures.
They all look familiar.
They stood far away at the corner of the high wall of the police station, one squatting and two standing. The squatting man hugged his knees with his hands, like a child, with his head lowered. A man and a woman were standing there, both with their heads down as if they were trying to persuade someone, and they would look up over here from time to time.
You Mingxu shuddered, thinking that something was wrong, and turned around to walk to the other end of the street.
But it was too late.
The squatting man suddenly looked up and stood up. The two people nearby hurriedly supported him, but he shook them off and rushed towards You Mingxu: "Sister - Sister - I'm here -"
You Mingxu: “…” Damn!
She watched him approach with an expressionless face. In fact, he didn't run fast, probably because of the pain in the wound. One hand was still covering the gauze on his body, and his steps were unsteady, hopping like a lame toad. But You Mingxu did not go forward to meet him, but just looked at him quietly.
When Mr. Yin Feng, who was said to be very famous, came up to her, his pale face turned a little red and his eyes were filled with sparkling joy.
The two who followed over, the woman looked worried and a little sad, and said: "Yin Feng, you can't run, you are still seriously injured." After saying that, she glanced at You Mingxu.
The young man seemed very calm. He just stood behind Yin Feng with his hands hanging down and didn't say anything. He should be Yin Feng's assistant.
You Mingxu looked at Yin Feng. He had changed into a hospital gown and wiped his face clean. There were tapes on his face and hands, and gauze wrapped around his body. But he was barefoot, and his big white feet were covered in mud and had some red scratches. In addition, there were several new small wounds on the forehead and palms.
You Mingxu asked: "How did you get into this situation?"
Yin Feng thought for a moment and replied, "I also think this dress doesn't look good."
You Mingxu only felt a nerve in his forehead jump, and turned to look at the man behind him. The man was quite smart, and immediately understood, and quickly explained: "After Teacher Yin woke up, he insisted on coming to see you. The TV broadcast the news that your branch had caught a suspect, and he saw you. Then he sneaked out of the hospital when the nurse was not paying attention. The new injuries on his body were all caused by falling on the road. Officer You, please persuade Teacher Yin to go back to the hospital. He is seriously injured, and if he is not treated properly, something bad will happen."
You Mingxu took another look at the man's gentle and graceful outline, thinking that Yin Feng, this... assistant, was really capable of handling things. Then I thought again, I wonder what kind of person the original owner is when his brain is not damaged.
You Mingxu said to Yin Feng, "Did you hear what he said? If you don't get proper treatment, you'll die. Go back to the hospital."
The woman also pulled Yin Feng's arm and advised: "Yes, go back to the hospital quickly, please don't do this again, I beg you."
You Mingxu glanced at the woman.
Yin Feng waved the woman's hand away, revealing a look of disgust and a bit of shrinking, and said: "What does it have to do with you? I don't know you. Don't touch me again, or I will hit you." He looked at You Mingxu again, but his expression became timid and soft: "Mingxu, I didn't see you when I woke up that day. Why didn't you come to find me?"
Seeing You Mingxu remained silent, Yin Feng's eyes flashed with panic, and he bit his lip again, his neck straight: "Anyway, I found you, no one else can take me away!"
The woman next to him gave a complicated bitter smile and looked at You Mingxu. The assistant looked calm and remained silent.
You Mingxu was silent for a moment and said, "Mr. Yin Feng, you must be mistaken. I am not your sister and I have no obligation to you. The case has been closed and we have nothing to do with each other. Why should I care about you?"
Yin Feng stared at her blankly, his eyes slowly turning red.
You Mingxu said coldly: "Don't cry!" and turned away.
