in the name of evil

Chapter 124 The case is solved, and the plaintiff is the culprit!

"Are you OK?"

Downstairs, Li Baiwan asked Jiang Li worriedly.

And Jiang Li regained his breath, feeling a little baffled.

It stands to reason that the kind of gaffe caused by anger should not appear on me, and I should keep calm at all times. Although what the old man experienced did make me feel angry, I should not lose my temper.

But just now, the idea of ​​reprimanding it was suddenly born in a trance, and just after this idea came up, I did it without thinking about whether it was appropriate to do so.

This is very wrong.

"It's okay, I lost my composure just now." Jiang Li waved his hand, panting while covering his forehead.

Soon, Song Xian also followed.

"Brother Jiang Li, why did you get so angry just now?" Song Xian noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Li, since she knew Jiang Li, she had never seen him like this.

"I'm probably a little tired recently." Jiang Li sighed.

Seeing that Jiang Li was unwilling to say more, Li Baiwan and Song Xian looked at each other, and tacitly stopped mentioning it.

"Then go back." Li Baiwan supported Jiang Li, whose footsteps were a bit erratic, and walked outside.

Along the way, Jiang Li felt nauseous.

Jiang Li felt very confused about this.

He clearly felt that he seemed to have forgotten something important.

And in the previous conversation with the old man, it seemed that it was because of this forgotten thing.

But apart from his family, what else would be worth making himself so angry?

When he got home, Jiang Li was still struggling with this problem, and still couldn't remember what this forgotten memory was.

Because of this accident, Li Baiwan, who originally wanted to go out every day to find excitement, temporarily gave up this plan.

Zuo Zihuan received the report and contacted Jiang Li to ask what was going on.

Jiang Li's answer to this was that the ideological education of members of the Liyihui must be strengthened, and those members who did not go to school before their death must be strictly investigated and did not have a correct view of right and wrong, so that the commissioner could correct these members.

"However, the obsessions of many members do not conform to the concepts you mentioned. If they are forcibly straightened, I am afraid that they will be invalid." Zuo Zihuan was a little embarrassed by this.

"Tsk, that's indeed a problem, so let's do it first, and I'll talk about it later when I formulate a detailed plan."

Jiang Li could only temporarily shelve this plan.

In the next few days, while practicing at home, Jiang Li calmed down the uneasiness caused by his sudden loss of control.

In fact, this loss of control is somewhat similar to previous illnesses, but the difference is that when I have an illness, my brain is blank, but when I lose control, I can clearly realize what I am doing.

And the most important thing is that I can vaguely feel that the so-called illness may not be a sequela of mental illness, because as my self-cultivation becomes more and more advanced, unless the aura is fully erupted, it is almost impossible to fall ill again.

So Jiang Li's guess is that the previous illness was just because he was too weak and couldn't bear the backlash brought by Xiaocao's existence when his mood fluctuated violently.

So, tracing back to the source, Xiaocao is the most likely culprit, but how it came about is another question.

But the loss of control this time was only caused by a simple conversation.

This is very puzzling.

"Or, because of the word gambling, did I vaguely think of something?"

Jiang Li said to himself:

"But in my impression, there are no gamblers among the people I know, and even the biggest prize I won in a lottery ticket was five yuan, and I bought it for ten yuan."

With this suspicion, the time soon came to the day before the Chinese New Year, the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.

Early this morning, Chen Yixuan called Jiang Li.

"Where is your home address, I seem to have forgotten to ask, I will pick you up now."

"Pick me up? Why pick me up?" Jiang Li was a little surprised. He also looked at the time. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and he didn't remember the time wrongly.

Chen Yixuan over there seemed a little surprised by Jiang Li's question: "You're not joking, are you? You won't forget what day it is, right?"

"Isn't today your day of great joy?" Jiang Li teased.

Chen Yixuan, who could often joke with Jiang Li, fell silent in a rare way.

Jiang Li's smile gradually disappeared, and he felt something was wrong.

"Today is Brother Qi's memorial day. You used to go to worship every year, how could you forget?"

Chen Yixuan's tone seemed sullen.

"Mr. Qi Qi, who is it?" Jiang Li suddenly panicked. The name was both familiar and unfamiliar. He knew very well that he definitely knew this Mr. Qi, but for some reason, he just couldn't remember it.

Chen Yixuan didn't speak, he seemed to hear the panic in Jiang Li's tone, and realized that Jiang Li was not joking.

After a long time, Chen Yixuan sighed: "You send me the address first, probably in the past three years, you forgot some things, it's not your fault."

Jiang Li said 'hmm', without saying anything more, and sent his address to Chen Yixuan.

Half an hour later, Chen Yixuan drove downstairs to Jiang Li's house.

"I have to go out for some important business. I can't take you with me. I left the meal money on the coffee table. I will be back in the evening."

Jiang Li explained a few words to Li Baiwan and Song Xian, then put on his coat and went out.

Seeing that Jiang Li's face was a bit ugly, the two didn't ask any more questions, but just told him to be careful.

After getting in the car, Chen Yixuan suddenly found that Jiang Li was a bit haggard, and he was a little surprised that he was different from his usual lively appearance.

"What's wrong with you?" Chen Yixuan asked with concern.

"I don't know, just recently, there's always a feeling that I seem to have forgotten some important things, but I can't remember them when I think about them. Anyway, I just don't think about food and tea. It's weird."

Jiang Li pretended to be relaxed and smiled.

"I've worked hard for you all these years. I really didn't expect that you even forgot Brother Qi Jun."

Chen Yixuan said solemnly:

"I thought you didn't call me because you went by yourself. Unexpectedly, you forgot."

"Qi Jun." Jiang Li frowned: "I really can't remember, but I vaguely feel that I should be familiar with him, but I just don't remember the outline."

"Of course we are very familiar." Chen Yixuan sighed: "The three of us used to play together since childhood. He is three years older than you, and his father is also my father's senior in the police station. Our two families can be regarded as family friends."

"You said that, I seem to remember, I seem to have visited a man named Uncle Qi during the holidays, but you said that Mr. Qi played with us since we were young, I really don't have any impression. "

Jiang Li tried hard to remember, but no matter what he did, he couldn't.

Chen Yixuan could only try to help Jiang Li wake up this memory through his own description.

"Brother Qi Jun used to be the king of children in our community, very upright, and at the same time took good care of children younger than him.

Especially the two of us, because my father and his father work in the same unit and know each other well, so Qi Junge takes more care of us.

As the friends at that time grew up, some moved away, some left, and in the end, only the three of us still played together all day long.

Later, he was admitted to the police academy, because of his outstanding performance and his sense of justice, he passed the examination and became an undercover policeman."

Undercover cop? !
Jiang Li's expression changed slightly, as if he realized something.

While Chen Yixuan was driving, he continued talking on his own, not noticing that there was something wrong with Jiang Li who was facing out of the window:
"During the years when he was admitted to the police academy, he would still call us if he had nothing to do, and would take us out to play during the holidays, but when he became an undercover policeman, he cut off contact with us.

We didn't know that he was an undercover agent at first, only that he was busy with his affairs and didn't have time to play with us like before.

When I saw him again, I was already at his house and saw his black and white photo. "

Speaking of this, Chen Yixuan choked up a little:

"Because it was an undercover agent, there was no funeral, no notification, and even apart from a few leaders who knew the details and trusted relatives and friends, no one in the world knew that a hero named Qi Jun had died.

That night, Dad and Uncle Qi drank a lot of wine, and we finally knew that it was not that Brother Qi Jun didn't want to play with us, but that in such an environment, even calling to report his safety became a luxury.

I don’t know if you still remember, at that time I had just finished the college entrance examination, and it was because of this incident that I chose the police academy without hesitation, and you also chose to be a policeman because of him. "

"I" Jiang Li seemed to have remembered something, and his facial features were slightly distorted.

"I, I remember, he was killed after being exposed?"

"Ah."

Chen Yixuan nodded painfully:

"When the person was found, he was no longer human. His bones were shattered and fractured, and his face was beyond recognition. I heard that there were still drugs in his body. When the informant found him, only his body was left in the entire warehouse where the criminal was. They I wanted to transfer the corpse, but in the process, the internal organs flowed out from the laceration in the abdomen.”

Jiang Li pursed his lips, his face turned pale.

After Chen Yixuan's reminder, he remembered.

While angry, Jiang Li was also very guilty.

How could I forget such an important thing?

At this time, Chen Yixuan also drove the car to the cemetery.

Under Chen Yixuan's leadership, Jiang Li found Qi Jun's tombstone.

"There is no name." Jiang Li looked at the tombstone that only read the tomb of the martyr, sadly: "Those guys haven't been caught yet, have they?"

"No." Chen Yixuan placed the offering in front of the tombstone.

"If he is caught, at least he can leave some text so that people know who he is and why he died."

Jiang Li also felt quite helpless about this.

You can't show your face when you are alive, and you can't leave your name after death. This is an undercover policeman.

In order to prevent retaliation, all undercover policemen can only live in the shadows and cannot be known to the world until the criminals are completely eradicated.

There was once an undercover agent who broke into a criminal organization. He was recognized by his own children on the road and called Dad, which aroused the vigilance of the criminals. Not long after, not only this undercover agent, but also his family members were not able to escape from these people. Violent hands.

Jiang Li touched the tombstone and apologized from the bottom of his heart: "I'm sorry, brother, I don't know why, but I actually forgot about you."

And at this moment, memories about Qi Jun flooded up like a flood.

Jiang Li was shocked by the huge information flow and stayed in place. A strong sense of dizziness lingered in Jiang Li's head. After a long time, this discomfort gradually disappeared. Under Chen Yixuan's worried gaze, Jiang Li returned to Come on.

"It turns out that's the case. I said how I became a policeman. It wasn't because of Uncle Chen."

Qi Jun's face gradually became clear, and Jiang Li remembered that he seemed to have asked him when he was a child, why he had to go to the police academy with such good grades, and whether it was because his father was a policeman.

"Well, although there are reasons for this, the biggest reason is that I think being a policeman is very handsome. As long as there are policemen guarding everyone, no matter how dark it is, everyone can sleep soundly. This can be considered a hero, right? "

"But being a policeman is dangerous, aren't you afraid?"

"I'm afraid, but there are always people who have to face these things, and the common people can't face them, right? That's why I train so hard because I can protect others while protecting myself when danger comes."

Jiang Li sat on the ground rarely, with a deep expression on his face, and lit a cigarette without saying a word.

"Playing with you since I was a child, I knew that protecting others is my greatest life value."

Chen Yixuan was taken aback: "What did you say?"

"I just remembered the last sentence he said to me." Jiang Li exhaled a puff of smoke, but he always felt that there was something stuck in his chest, and he was not exhaled along with the smoke.

"You never told me." Chen Yixuan sighed.

Jiang Li smiled: "Because I didn't know the weight of this sentence at that time."

"He is a good brother and even a good policeman." Chen Yixuan said.

"In short, he had his own goal in life and achieved it. His death is more important than Mount Tai."

Jiang Li spoke slowly.

There was a long silence between the two brothers.

Jiang Li stared at the tombstone in front of him, and then looked at the many tombstones behind Qi Jun's tombstone that only said the tomb of the martyr.

In times like these, it is common man's luck that so many live and die with faith.

Because the sky fell, there were people who carried it for them.

"Tell me about the past." Jiang Li suddenly said to Chen Yixuan.

"About Brother Qi Jun?"

Jiang Li shook his head: "Not only about him, but since we lived together, all the people and things, as long as you remember, tell me."

"Why?" Chen Yixuan was a little surprised.

Today's Jiang Li made him feel a little strange, and seemed a little sentimental.

"I always feel that apart from Mr. Qi, there are many important things that I have forgotten."

Jiang Li's expression was very solemn:
"I didn't think so before, but after I remembered about Mr. Qi, I realized that many of my past memories were biased.

The reason why I can't remember this person is not because I simply forgot, but because his existence contradicts some of my past cognitions.

It's like I always thought that I became a policeman under the arrangement of Uncle Chen, but now I think about it, that's not the case.

In other words, all the influences Qi Jun brought to my life seemed to be replaced by other reasons unconsciously by me.

It's almost as if consciousness has been tampered with.

So I'm panicking now, I have a feeling that Jun Qi is not the only one I've forgotten, there are other people and things I've forgotten. "

Although Jiang Li said it very mysteriously, Chen Yixuan still understood what he meant.

And Chen Yixuan didn't doubt that he was involved in this. During Jiang Li's hospitalization, many people came to visit him, but Jiang Li showed resistance and unfamiliarity. In Chen Yixuan's view, this might be a sequela.

"It seems that these three years have indeed had a great impact on you."

Chen Yixuan smiled bitterly. After Jiang Li was fostered in his own home, he began to talk about the past of the two brothers when he could remember.

This said, he talked all day.

During the whole process, Jiang Li listened very attentively.

Sure enough, during the check, Jiang Li found that he really had no impression of some of the people and things Chen Yixuan had mentioned.

On the contrary, Chen Yixuan still remembers some trivial things that Chen Yixuan said.

This is just the opposite of common sense.

And those parts that I have forgotten, without exception, have had a profound impact on my life trajectory, and almost none of them are good things.

In other words, all painful memories are selectively forgotten by him.

"So, I always teased you when I was young, not because I lacked a sense of security, but because I needed to be beaten when I was young?
When I was in school, I was withdrawn, not because I was not popular, but because I would do something when I was not used to it, so everyone was afraid of me.

After work, I was run out, not because I was too arrogant, but because I reported my colleague's not serious work attitude as soon as I arrived at the police station, and I challenged my boss because of this? "

Not to mention other things, just some of the things that obviously deviated from his own memory were enough to make Jiang Li's jaw drop.

"I have to correct you. Being run out after work does include your arrogance."

Chen Yixuan seriously reminded:

"Although you do have this capital, you are really not liked by others."

"Tsk..." Jiang Li couldn't help being speechless.

"I used to be this kind of person?"

"Then what do you think you were like before?"

Chen Yixuan was a little curious.

"I remember, I used to be like, how should I put it, that kind of genius that is always not understood by the world, um... probably the feeling that the heights are too cold."

Jiang Li said hesitantly.

"It can't be said that there is no such feeling at all."

Chen Yixuan commented:
"At least on the surface, it's true, but Qi Jun and I both know that you have a bad personality. How can you say that you have a dark heart, but it's not a derogatory term. In my father's words, it is , this child has had a city mansion since he was a child."

After thinking about it, Chen Yixuan added:

"Speaking of it, I've always found it quite strange that you have changed a bit after you were discharged from the hospital, and it doesn't mean that your personality has changed a lot. It's just that I used to think that you were quite burdened. Even though you cared very much in your heart, you looked calm on the surface. It’s light, but it’s very real now, how can I put it, even if it’s at home, it’s fine, but it’s not even acting outside.”

"So, it's not that my personality has changed drastically, but that I've always been like this?"

Jiang Li suddenly found it hard to accept.

According to this, my current temperament is not affected by those three years of experience?And it has nothing to do with Xiaocao?
Jiang Li muttered in a daze:
"I was originally a scum with extremely low quality?!"
