Then he saw Yin Chen walking towards him, and a knife came down on his neck. Before he passed out, he saw the man in the room, standing quietly, neither sad nor happy, neither angry nor hesitant. He just stood there quietly, as if he hid half a lifetime of loneliness, and as if he didn't care about anything in the world, looking down on those tiny lives.
…
Yin Feng suddenly opened his eyes. It was still You Mingxu's office, still filled with pouring sunlight. However, he felt a deep pain in his head and his whole body was covered in cold sweat.
Every scene in the dream was so clear and familiar, as if someone had carved them into his mind with a knife. He sat there motionless, gasped softly, raised his head and closed his eyes.
That was not a dream.
That's memory.
He remembered that when he was chasing the Punisher in Guizhou, he asked Yin Chen: "Did you found the Punisher organization?"
Yin Chen smiled at that time.
He smiled and then answered, "Yes."
Not Yin Chen.
Perhaps Yin Chen had become disappointed with life, or perhaps he had been traumatized by the You Ruixue incident, and from then on he adopted the strategy of fighting evil with evil. He is smart, cold-blooded, familiar with human nature, and good at organizing attacks and retreats. He is like the punishers' general and a handy knife. But judging from the resolve of the punishers, from their former residences, and even from their lifestyle that seemed to indicate a peaceful and tranquil time, it was clear that what was revealed was another person's preference and thinking. Yin Chen can't do that yet.
Yin Feng had felt before that the Punisher organization had been hidden for many years, and it was too easy for Yin Chen to just show up last time and claim to be the founder.
What if there is another person hiding behind Yin Chen?
Judging from the situation in the dream, the relationship between Yin Chen and that person is like that of partners and companions. In terms of spirit and belief, he is even submissive to that person.
Yin Feng suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Then all the actions that Yin Chen is taking now may just be the instruction and test of that person.
What does that person want?
It is undeniable that after many confrontations, the Punisher Organization has suffered heavy losses and been severely damaged at the hands of Yin Feng and the police. Moreover, he is facing a long-term wanted warrant and the situation is hopeless. If this continues, it will gradually decline and disappear, and eventually be completely eradicated by the police.
But now, that man and Yin Chen obviously still hold the last bit of strength in their hands and can fight to the death.
That person had very solid and complete thoughts about life and good and evil. Yin Feng suddenly thought that that person should be different from Yin Chen, and he didn't care about winning or losing with him, Yin Feng. He must be planning something deeper.
So does the appearance of the Apprentice Killer have any other deeper meaning or intention?
Will this confrontation be the last feast and expression in that person’s heart?
Yin Feng wanted to thank his sudden dream today and the fragments of memory he had lost, which at least made him aware of the existence of that person.
However, they are in the light while their opponents are in the dark.
Yin Feng's brows deepened.
That person must be someone he has met before.
It is even possible that she had appeared beside him.
But who is it?
——
Before he knew it, You Mingxu had been busy in the bath city until the lights came on.
However, it is not easy to find the hidden law.
The police obtained the information of all employees of the two bathhouses and customers who had recently been served by the two victims from their computer systems. They actually found more than a dozen people who were employees who knew both victims, or customers who had served both victims - after all, the two bathing cities were not far apart and were in the same industry.
But these people's age, height, body shape and alibis were all ruled out one by one.
In fact, You Mingxu had a premonition. The murderer planned so carefully and acted so cautiously. If it was just a colleague or a customer, he would have been easily caught by the police. He wouldn't be that stupid.
Just as Yin Feng said, if we check everyone who might be involved, the project will become even more massive. So You Mingxu complained in his heart that Yin Feng was an expert after all and he only had to talk, but they were going to die of exhaustion here. Do you know anyone among the deliverymen, maintenance workers, and cleaners who has had private dealings with both victims? Do you know if the murderer is lurking among them and secretly spying on the victims?
Fortunately, You Mingxu and the people she brought with her were no pushovers either. They observed and pondered each one, unraveled the case, questioned logically, and even made judgments based on Yin Feng's description of the man's words and deeds. Finally, the truth was revealed one by one, and by that night, no one was found to be an obvious suspect.
The bath city was very cooperative and provided several rooms for the police to call people for questioning. You Mingxu had just sent off a taciturn and extremely nervous maintenance worker. She was so tired after a whole day that she felt dizzy and had a headache. She lay on the table in an extremely inelegant manner, emptied her mind, and sighed.
I thought: I don’t know what Yin Feng is doing?
She also thought: Ever since he regained his memory and sanity, although he still worked with her on investigating cases, he had more ideas than before and was no longer her follower. Last time we caught Wei Lan, we played her and everyone else around. Now he is a man of great determination and deep and unfathomable thoughts.
As she thought about it, she started to laugh again. She knew very well that this kind of Yin Feng was actually more to her liking.
She knelt down and touched her nose. Why did she feel so sorry for You Yingjun?
Thinking back to how Yin Feng often imitated his previous tone and called Ah Xu in a soft voice, my heart softened.
Just as I was letting myself indulge in my random thoughts, I heard someone knocking on the door.
You Mingxu immediately sat up straight, her face darkened, and she returned to her cold and stern policewoman look.
The door was pushed open and Yin Feng walked in. You Mingxu suddenly relaxed, leaned back in his chair, and asked, "Why are you here?"
Yin Feng pulled the chair across the table and sat down, saying, "I'll pick you up after get off work."
You Mingxu: "I can't leave work. I have to go back to the bureau to continue working. Let's meet and discuss tomorrow's countermeasures."
Yin Feng said, "I'll go with you."
You Mingxu no longer refused, stretched out his arms, stretched, and sighed. Yin Feng looked at her and smiled: "How was your day?"
You Mingxu shook his head: "Things here are temporarily over, but there is no harvest yet."
Yin Feng tapped the back of the chair with his fingers and said, "Don't worry. If you can find it so easily, then this apprentice will never be able to become a master. Maybe the law is hidden under your noses and it is a very common thing."
You Mingxu was moved by what he said and nodded.
Yin Feng added, "I have also made some important discoveries. I will tell you when I get back." Seeing his serious expression, You Mingxu replied "OK" and asked again, "Tell me first whether it is good news or bad news."
Yin Feng thought for a moment and said, "One is good news, and the other sounds like bad news, but maybe we can turn it into good news."
Well, he started talking in circles again, showing off without making any expression.
You Mingxu just smiled and said, "Nonsense."
He looked at her and said, "Come here."
You Mingxu did not move.
Just as he was about to stand up, You Mingxu said, "Stay still, we are still outside, do I still have any shame?"
He smiled, but sat back down, and then grabbed her hand on the table. You Mingxu pulled it away but didn't pull it away. He pinched it and stroked it slowly, saying, "You just love to push me, huh? Can't you be a little softer?"
You Mingxu was so shocked by the deep voice and slow tone that he pulled his hand back and put his things into his bag. He said calmly, "Do you want to find your young models?" He walked straight to the door. Yin Feng followed him out with a smile on his face and said, "Why are you talking about irrelevant things? I was young and ignorant at that time."
You Mingxu was so angry that he laughed: "You are so young!"
He followed closely, and the two quarreled for a few more words, and finally walked side by side again. He put his arm around her shoulders and they went downstairs together.
Behind the two of them was a quiet corridor and two rows of private rooms in the bathing city. After they left, the corridor returned to silence. There was nothing unusual in the dark brown carpet, golden wallpaper, and dim chandeliers. Sometimes staff members come in and out.
In the corner of the roof, at the deepest part of the corridor, there is a surveillance camera, dark and shiny. Behind the camera, in a room with empty walls like a construction site, a person was sitting in front of a computer screen, watching the images in the surveillance camera - You Mingxu and Yin Feng left the bath city.
The man was still wearing the black windbreaker, but he was not wearing a hat or a mask, revealing a fair face.
He pushed the computer away and laughed to himself, "You Mingxu, Yin Feng, long time no see."
After laughing for a while, he turned around and saw several glass bottles on the ground opposite. It was a bottle he had carefully picked out from the store, exquisite and special. And his "souvenirs" were soaked in those bottles, floating up and down with the transparent formalin solution.
He grinned and laughed, muttering, "Killing people turns out to be such an interesting thing."
