At first, Liu Ruoyu tried to hold it in, but sometimes he got so angry that he couldn't help it and pushed Xu Jiayuan, and the two of them pushed and shoved each other. Although Liu Ruoyu is small, he is very strong and has a fierce temper. Xu Jiayuan couldn't get any advantage at all and both of them had bruises on their faces. This made Xu Jiayuan angry. The two men hurried over to try to stop the fight, but in fact they were holding Liu Ruoyu down alone. Xu Jiayuan slapped him hard in the face and said, "I see you really want to die. If they hadn't stopped me, I would have killed you right now. Okay, I'll go to the Human Resources Department and expose you as a child laborer who hasn't even grown all his hair. Get out of here!"
The two men pretended to persuade him: "Xiao Liu, why don't you apologize? You were the first to do it."
"Do you really want to be sent back?"
Liu Ruoyu's eyes turned red and he was speechless.
Xu Jiayuan turned around and walked out the door.
Liu Ruoyu felt like a thousand knives were sharpening in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Don't go! Don't go!"
Xu Jiayuan stood there for a while, then walked back and said with a fake smile: "You don't have to go, just kneel down and admit your mistake."
…
On every day off, Liu Ruoyu likes to go to the city more and more. There are wider roads, taller buildings, countless cars, and beautiful shopping malls. Even the Internet cafe is more magnificent and grand than the one in the town where the factory is located. He had only been to the Internet cafe a few times before because he had no money and didn't really have much interest in it. Now when he goes to the city, he doesn't dare to go into shopping malls or restaurants, so Internet cafes become his natural choice.
When they first met Li Biran, the two of them happened to form a team and won a game.
The same gloomy boy, still alone, laughed exaggeratedly and wildly after winning the game.
Li Biran called him "Brother Yu". Brother Yu called him "Bi Ran".
Li Biran asked: "Brother Yu, where do you go to school? Do you want to meet tomorrow?"
Liu Ruoyu paused and replied, "I'm at work. You can't tell, I'm already 18. I can't come until next week."
In Li Biran's eyes, the young man Liu Ruoyu was completely different. He is silent, steady, plays games coolly, and has money. If you treat him to a meal, he won't even blink an eye for a few hundred dollars. The two of them are not much different in age, but he is working and supporting himself. How freeing.
The two of them got along better and better, and they hung out together almost every week. As they talked more deeply, they discovered that when Li Biran was a child, he lived in the countryside with his grandparents for a period of time, which happened to be the same place as Liu Ruoyu. The timing also matches, maybe they played together when they were young. So the relationship became closer.
And for Liu Ruoyu, this feeling is also fresh. He has always been controlled by others. Now, I have a younger brother, a buddy.
This feeling is really good. Liu Ruoyu cherishes this hard-earned friendship very much. He also vaguely felt that his life should not be like that. He can actually do great things and impress everyone.
One day, he will kill Xu Jiayuan without anyone knowing. As long as he wanted, there were actually a hundred ways to kill Xu Jiayuan. They have no idea at all.
…
One day, Li Biran and Xie Huifang had another big fight and ran to the factory to find Liu Ruoyu. Liu Ruoyu was afraid that he would see how miserable he was in the factory, so he never let him enter. The two simply met at an Internet cafe in town.
Li Biran said: "Fuck, I was really pissed off by that woman. She actually scolded me in front of all my classmates. She is not a human being at all."
Liu Ruoyu could imagine an image of his aunt in his mind without even asking. He said: "You are not my biological mother, so of course I don't treat you as a human being."
Li Biran said with a sullen face: "One day, I will kill her."
Liu Ruoyu looked at him, and suddenly, the place in his heart that had always been covered like a thin ice and that he dared not step into easily seemed to suddenly crack, and he saw a strange light.
"Do you really want her to die?" Liu Ruoyu asked.
Li Biran was silent for a moment and nodded.
Liu Ruoyu's voice was shaking a little. He took a puff of cigarette and said, "I have a way."
"What is the solution?"
"Exchange killing."
——
It was already evening when the preliminary interrogation of the two teenagers was completed. They confessed to their crimes. Because Liu Ruoyu was familiar with detective novels, he planned the two crimes. He prepared all the tools and set the time and means. He was cautious by nature and had a smart mind, and there were almost no loopholes in his handling of the Xie Huifang case. And they brutally killed both children.
Li Biran had a hot temper, so the scene of Xu Jiayuan's death was in chaos. He hadn't put on shoe covers, so he left his bloody footprints behind. But he also did something unexpectedly cruel - he chopped off Xu Jiayuan's face.
You Mingxu thought that according to Yin Feng's statement, this move was to plunder the appearance or identity of the deceased. At the moment of killing, did the boy mistake the unrelated Xu Jiayuan for his own relative, and therefore destroyed his appearance? He never wanted to see the face he hated again.
In fact, You Mingxu had experienced a case that was even more brutal and unscrupulous than this one. The two teenagers' method of killing was also very primitive and simple. But now that the truth has come out, You Mingxu only feels a very quiet feeling in his heart.
The silence was depressing. Even during today's interrogation, the two parties did not show much remorse. At most, I was just afraid and panicked. But in their hearts, in their almost formed outlook on life, those two people still deserved to die. They are also at a loss about the future. It seems that he has never thought about this issue at all. I have never thought about the families of the victims, or the future lives of my own parents and relatives...
A falling life keeps falling. Monsters and demons, a drop of water can wear away a stone.
And he was still a child, ignorant and already in the abyss.
——
You Mingxu took a taxi and arrived at his doorstep. By this time, dusk had already fallen, and it was quiet and dark. She stopped, looked at the lights of the tall buildings, and thought of the two young men, feeling a little depressed. Everything has settled down. We have tried our best, and what cannot be saved cannot be saved.
I simply didn't go into the community. I leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette, and smoked for a while. My mood gradually calmed down, just like every time I solved a case, after the extreme tension and excitement, I felt extremely empty.
She quickly finished her cigarette and looked up again. In the neighborhood, she could see her own window from afar, with the lights on brightly. The dark cloud in her heart caused by the case will eventually fade away, but she still doesn't want to go up.
Thinking back to last night when she kissed Yin Feng, his devout and obsessed expression and movements, her heart felt like it was set on fire, and it was about to go dark...
He quietly lit another one.
Slow down this time, she thought.
——
You Mingxu didn't know that a car was parked silently in the dark corner of the road far away on the street corner.
There were two people sitting in the car. One of them put down the binoculars, still staring in You Mingxu's direction, and said, "It looks like the police have closed the case."
Another person smiled and said, "As it should be. The police can only do so much."
The first person also laughed and said, "They really think that those two kids are the real murderers in the end, and they just exchanged murders, haha!"
The other man also squinted his eyes and looked in You Mingxu's direction, then raised his head and looked up, asking: "Do you still want her?"
The man was silent for a moment, then answered, "No, I don't care anymore. What about you? Do you want to get him?"
The other person tapped on the car window with his fingers a few times and answered, "Yes, I do. I think about it even in my dreams."
