Instructing her daughter to practice throwing knives, the police were frightened and asked to file

He quickly thanked the blind shop owner: "Thank you for the information you provided. It is very important to me. If you remember anything else or find other clues in the future, please let me know."

The blind shopkeeper smiled and nodded: "Okay, I will. I wish you good luck with your investigation!"

After leaving the store, Qin Tian was filled with doubts and curiosity. He decided to continue his investigation to uncover the mystery of the boss's sudden disappearance. He knew that to find the answer, he had to track down the boss's past whereabouts and the people he had interacted with.

After some efforts, Qin Tian finally contacted Zhao Gang, a former confidant of the big boss, and they agreed to meet in a secret cafe.

When Qin Tian saw Zhao Gang, he noticed that he looked nervous and kept looking around. Qin Tian knew that Zhao Gang might also be worried about his safety.

"Zhao Gang, I know you are the boss's confidant. I hope you can tell me why the boss suddenly disappeared?" Qin Tian asked directly.

Zhao Gang was silent for a while, as if weighing the pros and cons. Then he took a deep breath and said, “Mr. Qin, I do know some inside information. However, if I tell you, my life may be in danger.”

Qin Tian nodded to show his understanding: "I understand your concerns. However, if you don't tell me, the big boss may continue to do evil and more people will be hurt. You are the only one who can provide clues, and I hope you can stand up bravely."

Zhao Gang was silent for a while, as if he was struggling with his thoughts. Finally, he made up his mind and said, "Okay, I'll tell you. But you have to guarantee my safety."

Qin Tian promised solemnly: "I promise."

Zhao Gang took a deep breath and began to narrate: "The reason why the big boss suddenly disappeared was because his identity was exposed. Someone discovered his crime and started tracking him. The big boss felt that the situation was not good, so he decided to hide for a while."

Qin Tian frowned: "Exposed? Who found out? Was it the police?"

Zhao Gang shook his head. "It's not the police, it's a private detective. He got to know the big boss's secret from somewhere and started to investigate secretly. The big boss sensed the threat, so he decided to disappear for a while to avoid being caught."

Qin Tian was shocked: "Private detective? Who is he? Can you tell me more about him?"

Zhao Gang smiled bitterly: "I only know his last name is Li, and I don't know anything else. The big boss kept his whereabouts very secret and didn't even tell me."

Qin Tian took a deep breath, his heart full of doubts. He realized that this private detective might be the key to uncovering the true face of the big boss. He decided to continue to follow this clue, find this private detective, and get more information.

However, he knew it would not be easy. Since the big boss had sensed the threat, he would definitely take more stringent measures to protect himself. Moreover, the private detective might already be in danger.

Qin Tian decided to make a more cautious and careful action plan. He began to cooperate with other police officers to discuss the progress of the case and the next action plan. They analyzed the possible hiding places of the big boss and made a detailed search and capture plan.

However, just as they were about to take action, an unexpected situation occurred. The big boss actually took the initiative to contact Qin Tian and proposed a shocking deal. He asked Qin Tian to stop the investigation and give him a huge ransom, otherwise he would take extreme measures to protect himself.

Qin Tian is faced with a difficult decision. Should he accept the boss's deal and give up the investigation? Or should he take a huge risk and continue to track the boss's whereabouts and bring him to justice?

When Qin Tian heard that the boss's name was Huo Qisang, he was stunned. This name brought back memories of his college days, when Huo Qisang was his roommate, a lonely person due to autism.

It was difficult for him to associate the taciturn and solitary Huo Qisang with the current big boss who controlled a huge criminal network. But the facts were before him, and he had to accept this shocking truth.

Qin Tian took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, and confirmed with Zhao Gang again: "Are you sure that the big boss is Huo Qisang? The autistic roommate who was my roommate in college?"

Zhao Gang nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, it's him. Although he has changed a lot now, I can still recognize him. His autism does make him different in some ways, but it is also this difference that makes him go further and further on the road of crime."

Qin Tian felt a pang of heartache, and he recalled every bit of his time with Huo Qisang in college. Although Huo Qisang was taciturn at that time, he was kind and sensitive in his heart. They had spent many unforgettable times together, encouraging and supporting each other.

"How could he become like this?" Qin Tian murmured to himself, "Autism is not his fault. He could have had a completely different life."

Zhao Gang sighed and said, "I don't know. Maybe it's his autism that makes it difficult for him to integrate into society, or maybe it's some unfortunate experience that led him to this path. But in any case, he can't turn back."

Qin Tian was silent for a moment, then said firmly: "No, he still has a chance to turn back. I must find him and get him back on track."

Zhao Gang looked at Qin Tian, ​​with a hint of respect in his eyes: "You are really a courageous man. However, it is not easy to find Huo Qisang, he is hiding very deep now."

Qin Tian nodded: "I know, but I will never give up. Do you have any clues for me?"

Zhao Gang pondered for a while and said, "I only know that he may be hiding in a remote mountain area recently. There is an abandoned mine there, and I heard that he is hiding there."

Qin Tian's mind moved: "Abandoned mine? Okay, I will check it out. Thank you, Zhao Gang."

Zhao Gang shook his head: "You're welcome. I am actually one of the victims. I just hope you can find him and put an end to it all."

Qin Tian left the cafe with determination and expectation in his heart. He knew that it would not be easy to find Huo Qisang, but he was willing to save his former roommate at all costs.

He contacted other police officers and told them Huo Qisang's identity and possible hiding place. Together they made a careful action plan and prepared to go to the remote mountainous area to search.

However, just as they were about to set off, an unexpected news came: Huo Qisang took the initiative to contact the police and asked to meet Qin Tian. Qin Tian was confused and expectant. He didn't know why Huo Qisang contacted him suddenly, but he decided to seize this opportunity to meet this former roommate and now big boss in person.

They agreed to meet in a neutral place. When Qin Tian saw Huo Qisang, he could hardly recognize this former friend. Huo Qisang looked haggard, and his eyes revealed fatigue and helplessness.

"Huo Qisang, is it really you?" Qin Tian asked tentatively.

Huo Qisang nodded and smiled bitterly: "It's me, Qin Tian. I didn't expect to see you again."

Qin Tian took a deep breath and looked at the familiar yet strange person in front of him. He felt mixed emotions, but more of it was an indescribable sadness.

"Huo Qisang, how did you become like this?" Qin Tian's voice trembled slightly, "Do you still remember our time in college? You could have had a completely different life."

Huo Qisang lowered his head and was silent for a while, then he slowly said: "I remember, Qin Tian. Those days were the best time of my life. However, autism made it difficult for me to integrate into society, and I couldn't live like a normal person. I tried, but always failed. Later, I met some people who showed me a different way."

Qin Tian frowned: "Different paths? Do you mean crime?"

Huo Qisang smiled bitterly: "Yes. At first, I just helped them do some small things. But gradually, I found that I was very talented in this area. I can easily manipulate people's hearts and grasp their weaknesses. This made me go further and further on the road of crime."

Qin Tian felt angry and disappointed: "You clearly know this is wrong! Why did you do this?"

Huo Qisang raised his head and looked directly into Qin Tian's eyes: "Because in this world, I have found my place. In this dark world, I am no longer an autistic patient, but a controller. I can decide the fate of others and make them serve me."

Qin Tian took a deep breath and tried to calm his heart: "Huo Qisang, you are wrong. This is not your place. You are a kind and sensitive person, and you should not be swallowed up by this dark world. I came to you in the hope that you can turn back from your mistakes."

Huo Qisang was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "I can't go back, Qin Tian. I have gone too far and can't turn back."

Qin Tian stared into Huo Qisang's eyes and said, "No, you can do it. As long as you are willing, I will help you get out of this dark world."

Huo Qisang looked at Qin Tian's determined eyes, and an inexplicable feeling of emotion welled up in his heart. But he knew that he could not turn back. He took a deep breath and changed the subject: "Qin Tian, ​​you know what? In fact, I have been paying attention to you. I saw that you became an outstanding policeman, and I was envious and jealous. You have everything I have ever desired."

Qin Tian was surprised: "You are following me? Why?"

Huo Qisang smiled bitterly: "Maybe it's because you are my only friend. In this dark world, I don't have any real friends. There are only relationships of using and being used. However, I always remember our time in college. You were so sunny and enthusiastic at that time. You once gave me warmth and hope."

Qin Tian was touched: "Huo Qisang, I have never forgotten you. I know you have your reasons, but I hope you can give me a chance to help you out of your predicament."

Huo Qisang was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Qin Tian, ​​thank you. But I can't turn back. I owe too much debt and can't pay it back. I can only keep going until the end of this road."

Qin Tian felt grief in his heart when he heard this. He knew Huo Qisang had made his decision and he could not change his mind. But he still did not give up: "Huo Qisang, I hope you know that no matter when and where, I will be here waiting for you. As long as you are willing to turn back, I will lend a hand to help you."

The conversation between Huo Qisang and Qin Tian was silent for a moment, as if time had frozen at this moment. A complex emotion flashed in Huo Qisang's eyes. He seemed to be struggling, and seemed to be reminiscing.

"Qin Tian, ​​do you know?" Huo Qisang finally broke the silence, "I once tried to resist and tried to escape from this dark world. However, I found that I was already too deeply trapped and could not extricate myself."

Qin Tian stared at Huo Qisang closely, trying to find a trace of hesitation in his eyes: "Huo Qisang, you are not alone. You have me and those friends who once cared about you. Together we can help you get out of trouble."

Huo Qisang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, Qin Tian. You don't understand. This world is not as simple as you think. I have no way out."

Qin Tian's eyes flashed with determination: "Huo Qisang, nothing in this world is absolute. As long as you are willing, we will definitely find a way out and walk out of this dark world together."

Qin Tian answered without hesitation: "That's right, Huo Qisang. I am willing to help you, no matter what the result is. Because you are my former roommate and my old friend."

Huo Qisang's eyes flashed with emotion. He was silent for a while before he slowly said, "Qin Tian, ​​thank you. But I still can't agree to you. I can't let you fall into this dangerous situation."

Qin Tian took a deep breath. He understood Huo Qisang's concerns, but he still insisted on his own opinion: "Huo Qisang, I am not afraid of danger. I am just afraid that you will go further and further on this wrong path and cannot turn back."

Huo Qisang was silent for a while, then slowly raised his head and looked directly into Qin Tian's eyes: "Qin Tian, ​​if one day I can really get rid of this dark world, I will definitely find you. But before that, I hope you can forget me and this dark place."

Qin Tian felt a pang of bitterness when he heard this. He knew Huo Qisang had made up his mind and he couldn't change his mind. But he still refused to give up: "Huo Qisang, I will never forget you. I will always wait for you here until the day you walk out of the darkness."

Huo Qisang looked at Qin Tian's determined eyes, and an indescribable feeling of emotion welled up in his heart. He knew that he had taken the wrong path, but he also knew that he could not turn back. He could only keep moving forward until the end of this dark road. And Qin Tian's words and determined eyes will always be the warmth and light in his heart.

The two fell silent again, and the air was filled with an indescribable sadness. They both knew that this was the last time they would see each other. From now on, they would go their separate ways and there would be no turning back.

However, despite this, they still cherish this moment of reunion. Because they all understand how rare it is to meet someone who truly cares about you in this world. Even if they can't be together, even if they can't walk the future together, this friendship and memories will be engraved in their hearts forever. (End of this chapter)
