sin drinker

Chapter 31 The last piece of the puzzle (9)
He should have stood with him, but in the past ten years, he has pushed him away, time and time again.

"Okay, I've made it clear, now we can go on the road." Xu Xuesong approached impatiently, "By the way, tomorrow you will be reported in the newspaper as insane, because you kidnapped and killed Guo Lidong because of your obsession with investigation, Assuming that I was the mastermind who came to take revenge, in the end, you wrestled with my bodyguard, Lao Li, and accidentally fell down the building during the process."

"It's hard for you to break a piece of glass." Zheng Yuan looked directly at the hanging night, "In this case, why don't you just kill me? Is there a big difference between falling to death and other ways of dying?"

"Of course there is a difference. According to what my daughter said, you have to do a full set of plays. A good show must have a wonderful ending." Mentioning Xu Ziqian again, Xu Xuesong's face was a little distressed, "If it weren't for you , she should have lived well."

Zheng Yuan couldn't help laughing: "You mean, it's all our fault that your daughter instigated others to kill, dismember her body, seduce people to take drugs, and lie about the case? We pursued the case, sought the truth, and upheld justice and forced her to death?"

"Shut up!" Xu Xuesong yelled, "How old is she! She's just ignorant! She..." Xu Xuesong's facial features were twisted together, as if he had finally been stabbed to the point: "The world is so chaotic, everywhere She's a bad person, I don't have time to take care of her, she can only rely on herself..."

"Excuses." Zheng Yuan interrupted him coldly, "It's all excuses. Compared with the truly unfortunate people, what Xu Ziqian has is not too little, but too much—it was your indulgence that killed her."

"Hmph, you can say whatever you want, anyway, you have already lost." Xu Xuesong gritted his teeth, his voice suddenly dropped, getting lower and lower, lower and lower, so low that it was almost inaudible, but the words sounded like It solidified and hit his heart one word after another: "Didn't you always want to know the whereabouts of your wife? Tell you, it's just under this square."

Below the square?Yes, he has seen the architectural drawings, and the building is exactly ten years old.Ten years ago, this place was still a messy construction site, and the entire construction process was personally supervised by the boss of Cedar Group. Zhang Huan, as his new arm, was naturally unimpeded.Qualcomm Plaza is like a huge living room, and Xiaoye is the bones and ghosts buried under the floor of Xu's house.

The huge impact made Zheng Yuan dizzy.He was on the verge of falling, his eyes turned black, and his eyes flickered past his feet in a trance.He had never overlooked Qualcomm Plaza from this angle before. The moon hid in the clouds, and the black sky covered it, slowly climbing up the cold tombstone like a blanket of death.It wasn't until the last moment that he suddenly realized that the huge, bright red and dark brown spiral was an all-too-familiar hint.

It was an abstract rose.

And he was about to fall into it.

boom!
Loud noise accompanied by flying wood chips exploded in the room, the door of the office was shattered, and was smashed into pieces by someone, that rampant psychopath was Wang Shiqi.He was panting, bleeding, so embarrassed, so unbelievable, he stood directly opposite Zheng Yuan, as if he wanted to say a lot, but he couldn't say anything.Ten steps away from him, a whole floor-to-ceiling window was shattered to the point where only the frame remained, half of Zheng Yuan's foot was already on the edge, and the only thing that kept him in place was Lao Li's hand grabbing the hem of his shirt.

Wang Shiqi burst out a sentence from his dry throat: "No."

"There are still some who came here to die on their own initiative." Lao Li turned his gun on Wang Shiqi's chest and shook his head mockingly: "Unfortunately, it's useless to beg me, you have to stay and be buried with me!"

"Shut up!" Wang Shiqi yelled back viciously, but kept his eyes fixed on Zheng Yuan: "Don't! Don't die! It's better to be alive than to be dead... Living is at least a thought, and dead is nothing. "

This sentence again.Zheng Yuan thought, he always thought it was said to him, but in fact, it must be Wang Shiqi himself who said this.

He died, and Wang Shiqi was the one who had nothing.

Zheng Yuan suddenly laughed.Laugh, laugh, out of breath.

Lao Li was taken aback by his wild laughter, and he pushed him forward threateningly: "What are you laughing at!"

A few pieces of glass chattered and fell, and it took a long time before there was a broken echo.Zheng Yuan was still laughing, and the laughter made his voice become intermittent: "I...I'm laughing at your stupidity. Do you know that there is a saying that villains die because they talk too much?"

He took out the cell phone and held it up high.

"You can kill me or him, but I have recorded everything you just said." He finally put away his smile, "How do you think Police Officer Wang found it? I opened the Positioning, the police are already on their way, just throw this phone out, and they will be able to find it immediately. This is the evidence of your killing, dismembering, kidnapping, and framing. And you, and this accomplice, as my 'Victim', why don't you go downstairs and look for it yourself?"

Xu Xuesong's face turned livid in an instant, he flew over, and extended his hand at the same time as Lao Li.Zheng Yuan raised his wrist slightly, and in the blink of an eye, he had already let go of his fingers.

At the same time, he yelled: "It's now!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The blood burst into the air, Xu Xuesong fell a step away, and Lao Li, he grabbed the phone, and at the same time, there was a black hole on his forehead.The last expression hadn't faded yet, it was a mixture of surprise, resentment and unwillingness.His body fell forward stiffly, passed the window lattice, and was about to fall straight...

Wang Shiqi was also shot in the shoulder, but he didn't care about anything.He quickly ran to Zheng Yuan: "Old Zheng! Old Zheng, are you okay!"

In front of Wang Shiqi, before the huge void, Zheng Yuan's expression was calm, even a little calm.He said, "Silly boy, don't be afraid."

Lao Li didn't let go of Zheng Yuan's hand.Inertia and gravity took him away from the final safe area.

In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared.

Goodbye
one year later.

Wang Shiqi walked slowly across the ground covered with yellow leaves.There was a small flower shop at the corner. He walked over and waved to the boss, who showed a familiar smile: "Still the same?"

Wang Shiqi nodded, and took the flowers from the boss—wrapped in old newspapers, a whole dozen long-stemmed roses, fiery red in bud.

"You are the first one who came here to send roses."

Wang Shiqi avoided the boss's curious gaze: "Well...a friend likes it." He paid the money, walked out through the path at the back door, and arrived at the destination after a short walk.

It was a brand new tombstone.Clean, simple, and soft lines.In the middle of the tombstone, there is a small photo inlaid.Those familiar eyes were lifelike, as if they had been watching him.

Wang Shiqi put Rose under those gazes, and said softly, "Don't come here without any problems."

Everything is quiet, only the sound of the wind, and the last sound dissipates in the air, making it even more autumnal.Wang Shiqi sighed and turned to leave when he suddenly heard a voice from behind.

"Stay safe."

His eyes widened in surprise.Turning his head, he saw the other party smiling at him with his pockets in his pockets. The marks of pens on the old khaki jacket were his masterpieces from last year.

"Old Zheng! Why are you here?"

"Why can't I come?" Zheng Yuan staggered towards Wang Shiqi, "It's boring to lie down every day, so I might as well leave the hospital early."

His hair was shaved green, and a long scar on his side came from a dangerous craniotomy.He was a narrow escape, and he has the right to be so willful.

It won't die anyway.To die, he thought, to have died that night in the Cedar Mansion.

That night, it took five seconds to rush from where Wang Shiqi was standing to where Zheng Yuan fell.

This was the longest five seconds of Wang Shiqi's life.

He even thought of God as he knelt on the floor.He hated God so much, but at this moment he made the most devout prayer to God.Don't let him die.he thought.As long as he doesn't die, I promise to call you daddy every day.

He stuck his head out tremblingly, and then, he saw a miracle.

At that moment, the moonlight had just broken through the clouds, and the icing-like soft white instantly filled the whole world.The broken glass scattered around reflected the bright light. Under the window lattice, Zheng Yuan held the raised outer wall with one hand, while Lao Li had already fallen to the ground, like a tiny ant.

Wang Shiqi burst into tears: "Old Zheng...Zheng...you...that's great...alive...you're not dead...I..."

"Didn't I tell you not to be afraid." Zheng Yuan raised his face, his heart beating fast.He wanted to laugh, but also wanted to cry, and finally decided to yell at the crying man first: "Hurry up and pull me up!"

They finally came to the day when they were wronged.Xu Xuesong was arrested on the spot. Because of Zheng Yuan's mobile phone recording, he confessed all the crimes without struggle. However, what he didn't know was that the mobile phone was broken into pieces when Lao Li fell from the building, and, from the very beginning The record key is not turned on.

Zhang Huan personally identified the location where Xiaoye's body was hidden. Wang Shiqi and Zheng Yuan were both present when the bones were pulled out. An impenetrable providence.

"This... is where Xu Ziqian's body was found." Wang Shiqi turned his head to look at Zheng Yuan. The latter looked calm, as if he had finally put something down and picked it up again: "Coincidence." He murmured : "It's just a coincidence."

A month later, the reconstruction of Qualcomm Plaza started, and the huge spiral completely disappeared from the world.The newly repaired ground is paved with a low-key marble color, just like the silent tombstones in front of you—Xiaoye's, Du Qiangwei's, Zheng Que's, and Yuan Jiashu's.During this year, Wang Shiqi was entrusted by Zheng Yuan to send them flowers.People have disappeared, but the roses are still there. As long as the flowers bloom again, there will always be hope in life.

"Okay! Don't talk nonsense, in order to celebrate you being discharged from the hospital again, let's go out and have a meal!" Wang Shiqi's voice broke in lively, interrupting the deserted memory.He stretched out his big hand and held Zheng Yuan tightly: "Old place, I invite you."

"The old place, wasn't it demolished a long time ago?" Zheng Yuan punched Wang Shiqi.Wang Shiqi chuckled: "It's demolished, and it can be rebuilt after it's demolished! I bought that store and opened it a week ago."

Zheng Yuan's eyes widened all of a sudden: "You won't tell me about such a big thing, for such a long time?"

"Tell you that you should be in a hurry again." Wang Shiqi shook his head mockingly: "The case is solved and the meritorious service is established, but I also caused such a big disaster. Rather than embarrassing the superiors, it is better to resign on my own initiative. .”

Zheng Yuan smiled indifferently: "...Is there any wine over there? Let me state in advance that I have no money."

"It's okay, I have plenty of money."

"Then let's go... hey, where's your car?"

"sold."

"sold?"

"Hey, maybe I'm not that rich either."

"Are you willing to let me walk?"

"Then how do you want to go? Carrying on your back, hugging you, whatever, I don't choose."

"go away."

Their backs faded into the mist of late autumn.
