Lianzhou

Sometimes Yan Yan really had to admire the efficiency of the police, saying that he would give him an answer soon, it really gave him a surprise after only one day.

The moment Yu Lichu and Yan Yan received the police notification, they immediately left for the N City Police Station.

During this period, Yu Lichu went to the balcony to make a phone call before going out, and then went out with Yan Yan without saying a word.

After the two arrived at the N City Police Station, the police in charge of related cases came out and explained the current situation to them. Three of the four murderers were arrested, but the leading suspect that day was temporarily missing. Hiding in N City, it won't be long before they can be arrested and brought to justice. However, the three squatting at the police station seem to be just listening to others, and they don't actually know what the intention of besieging Yan Yan is. What useful information, at present, only know that these three people are all involved in gambling, and they are all frequent customers of a nearby casino.

casino…

Hearing these two words, Yan Yan's eyebrows twitched for no reason.

Unexpectedly, they were still sitting in the police station, and the staff in the police station received the notification in a short while. It seemed that they had found the hiding place of the fourth suspect and were gathering their hands to start arresting them.

At the same time, Yan Yan's cell phone rang in unison. He picked up the phone and glanced at it, and saw that the caller ID was from Mo Ning.

After what happened last night, looking at this familiar name now, he feels strange in his heart for no reason. After all, he did not fully believe Yu Lichu's hint last night, but the other party had already planted a suspicion in his heart. seed.

He hesitated for a few seconds before picking up the phone, and Mo Ning's eager voice sounded as soon as the connection was made: "It's no good, Mo Xian is gone!"

After Yan Yan heard this, he immediately stood up. Although Yu Lichu didn't know what the person opposite said, he quickly reached out and grabbed Yan Yan's hand to signal him to calm down. Yan Yan was excited by Yu Lichu's body temperature. After regaining his senses, he took a deep breath and calmed down, and then replied in a deep voice, "Where are you, I'll look for you now."

"I'm on the roof of the sixth floor of the old pawn building, come quickly, I'll be waiting for you."

Yan Yan felt a little strange when he heard this place name at first. The old pawn building is now deserted, and it has become an abandoned building, standing out among the piles of demolished sand and soil in the old city.

However, he didn't have time to think too much at this time, he turned his head and explained the situation to Yu Lichu, and was ready to leave for the appointment.

When he turned around, he didn't see the chill that burst out of Yu Lichu's eyes when he heard the place name behind him.

The winter in N City has already begun to show its signs, especially the streets in the demolition area, which are desolate and desolate, with no greenery to be seen.

However, Yan Yan took care of the surrounding environment flawlessly at the moment, and when he arrived at the place Mo Ning said, he went straight to the sixth floor along the stair passage, followed closely by Yu Lichu, and when the two climbed to the sixth floor together On the rooftop, when he opened the door, he saw Mo Ning squatting alone in the center of the rooftop. He seemed to have been waiting here early in the morning. Now that he saw the two of them, he stood up slowly in a bored manner, and then Chao Yanyan grinned a warm smile.

"You're here."

Yan Yan was suspicious, but seeing Mo Ning's unhurried expression at this moment, he couldn't help but ask, "Why did you call me here? Where is Mo Xian?"

Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly showed some regret after hearing Yan Yan's question: "I originally planned to give you a big gift here, but it was disturbed by your family, so I couldn't give it. If you don’t go out, it’s good to bring you over to have a look.”

After Mo Ning finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the empty platform. He looked at the empty platform for a long time before turning back. There was a smile on his face, but the words he said seemed to be oozing poison, and the words were sharp. Incomparably cruel: "Yan Yan, have you always wanted to know how you were injured in the hospital a year and a half ago?"

Mo Ning's words seemed to drop a time bomb in the air, and it exploded in the air the moment it landed. Yan Yan was frozen in place at the moment, unable to make any unnecessary expressions other than disbelief, like a volley in the air. An invisible hand entered from the back of his heart and cut off all the beating of heat out of thin air, and his body became cold from the heart to the limbs in an instant. However, even if he was about to face such a dirty truth, he still struggled to maintain the last breath. Calm, as if it was the last layer of fragile decency he could retain.

After a long silence, Yan Yan finally caught a glimmer of Qingming in his chaotic mind.

"That person that day... was... arranged by you?" God knows how much effort it took him to spit out this sentence completely. The moment the words came out, he felt waves of astringency in his throat. It's like a stick in the throat, it seems that every sound is a kind of delay to the throat.

However, after listening to this question, Mo Ning did not refute. Instead, he agreed frankly with some joy. He seemed to be caught in some kind of obsessive emotion for a moment, and his eyes suddenly drifted far away: "That's really me. The most enjoyable thing I have done in the past few years. Your career as a doctor was ruined by me. All your efforts were ruined. Everything was in vain. You have been depressed for a long time, but I am alone It's been a long time celebrating." When Mo Ning said this, he seemed to shake his head regretfully, "You don't know how painful it is to have no one to share this joy with me."

"Ah, by the way, that man, I think you still remember, is the family member of the No. [-] bed who was almost killed by me during the internship. This kid is also stupid to the limit, and I will kill you with a few words at will. When you become a father-killer and enemy, this kind of person is very easy to deal with. Let him get addicted to gambling first, and then lend him some money to let him taste the sweetness when he is still in debt, and he will be devoted to you. I obeyed, I just gave a few casual instructions, and he immediately summoned people to block you in the alley..." He said this to himself, turning his head as if he didn't care about Yan Yan's words. Shang expressed his anger, "But this person is really useless. He tried twice but failed. In order not to scare the snake away, I had to do it myself."

Yan Yan frowned and listened to the shocking confession on the other side, and then caught something in the meaningful smile on the other side. He suddenly opened his eyes wide in horror, and then took a step forward with some excitement: "What did you do to Mo Xian? Mo Ning, he is your own nephew!"

"Don't be so excited, I don't want to do anything to him, after all, my goal is only you, Mo Xian's life and death are not important to me, but if his death can lead to your death, I'm still happy to do it of."

When Mo Ning said this, there was a bitter and full-fledged smile on his face, "I know you too well, Mo Xian is so pitiful, as long as I bring him in front of you, it is impossible for you to remain indifferent. I've buried this thread for so long..."

He was almost gnashing his teeth at this moment, and the next moment his gaze changed to Yu Lichu, "You are indeed a bit capable, I hid so deep, but you dug it out, but I am still curious, are you How did you come up with the idea of ​​prying Mo Fan's mouth and asking him to reveal the location of the casino? Those people have always been cautious, and even the police can't find their whereabouts. How did you think of this level? I am the only one connected by less than one person, have you suspected me from the beginning? Where did I show my flaws?"

After Mo Ning finished speaking, Yu Lichu, who had always been standing at the back as the background board, took two steps forward, and then turned his body halfway in front of Yan Yan. This posture was too protective, and he turned his head first Whispering to Yan Yan comfortingly: "Mo Xian is fine, don't worry." Then he turned to Mo Ning, but he didn't have the slightest intention to explain.

Naturally, Yu Lichu would not tell Mo Ning the truth. After all, in this timeline, the situation has not gotten out of control. He cannot know the true face of Mo Ning's deliberate deliberations from Mo Xian's diary, so naturally he cannot use this as an entry point. Find the key to it.He once thought that Mo Ning's purpose of designing all this was just to target Yan Yan, but he had witnessed it with his own eyes. Ning, as the cheap younger brother and ATM machine who has been cleaning up the mess for Mo Fan for a long time, did not do anything to stop Mo Fan's gambling addiction and accumulated debts. Contact, a very terrible conclusion came to mind.

If Mo Ning reached a certain kind of cooperation with the casino in a certain way, then Mo Fan's re-involvement in gambling this time is very likely to be deliberately led step by step into the rut, which is a death sentence. One of Yan's rings is the best chance to get rid of the burden of Mo Fan.

He went to Mo Fan's house alone yesterday, and used some uncivilized means to dig out the location of the casino from that scumbag. This casino has two branches, and it is usually very low-key, so it has not been investigated by the police. In fact, Yu Lichu originally just wanted to try his luck to confirm his guess, but he really let him see those gangsters and the man with the birthmark on the back of his neck in the casino.

He had been wondering before that even if Mo Ning had brainwashed the man about the responsibility of the medical accident, making him see Yan Yan as the instigator of the accident, it was not enough for the man to take a huge risk to clear Yan Yan for him. However, now that they are in series, Yu Lichu roughly understands the reason why this man obeys Mo Ning's orders.In this way, everything made sense, but at the same time, it also explained in a disguised form that Mo Ning had already had a grudge against Yan Yan five years ago or even earlier, and for so many years, he turned his hypocrisy into a He developed an instinct to lie dormant in the dark waiting for the right time to mature. As soon as Yu Lichu thought of this, he felt chills and anger superimposed in his body and saw each other, as if he was about to tear himself in two.

Yu Lichu clenched his fists in the dark, and brought out all the meanness that he had always kept hidden: "After so many years of deliberation, once a small character who came out halfway bites back and loses everything , must be so angry that I have greeted everyone above me thousands of times, are you curious? Can't you figure it out?" When he said this, he suddenly showed a warm and bright smile, "You have a lifetime It's time to go to the prison and think about it slowly, I'm just an honest and responsible little person, and I dare not deprive you of the only pleasure in the rest of your life."

Hearing this, Mo Ning's face darkened instantly, and then he laughed mockingly: "Yan Yan has not lost money in this life, and you love him so much. You protect him so much, why are you willing to hand me over like this? The police? They are all doctors, everyone knows where the knife will stab, you must really want to kill me now, so don't be cowardly, do it yourself if you have the ability."

But Yu Lichu didn't take the bait, and even showed some indifference, he just took a deep look at Mo Ning, this look was indifferent and full of pity, like a humble ant looking down on the ground from a high place, Full of indifference and indifference: "You don't need to provoke me, Mo Ning, you'd better be grateful to me for saving some sanity, and remember that today is a society ruled by law, otherwise you wouldn't be able to live to this day at all."

After hearing this, Mo Ning laughed a few times, and then turned to pull out a cold and poisonous smile, as if facing Yu Lichu, and also as if facing Yan Yan: "Why don't you ask me, why are you doing this?" Do?"

"—Oh, by the way, you don't know yet, I secretly stuffed the 300 yuan in Mo Xian's pocket that day, I think even if it doesn't kill you that time, I must take this opportunity to pass this The child will give you a fatal blow." After Mo Ning finished speaking, he laughed a little maniacally, at this moment, he has completely lost the positive and upright image of the past, and what is left is only a jealous, resentful and ugly look.

Yan Yan has been standing behind Yu Lichu in the same posture since just now, as if he has completely cut off all ties with the world, and sank into his own woven body.

But Yu Lichu was unmoved. He had already called the police without telling Yan Yan when he went upstairs. During the time when the police arrived, he had to continue to deal with Mo Ning. He knew that Yan Yan needed time to digest this moment. , and met Mo Ning's gaze alone.

"What reason does a beast need to kill? He just wants to kill." Yu Lichu never knew that he would have such a mean side one day, and his expression must be ridiculed to the extreme, "Why? I used to pay your debts for you Don’t you feel sorry for the person who took the blame for you to fight the injustice? Or if you also know that you have a wicked heart, and you simply ask such a ridiculous question, then you feel sorry for yourself. The positioning is indeed accurate enough.”

In the reality of all beings, in the busy world, there are always some people who are as dazzling as the clouds, and some people are always as humble as the dust. Who would have thought that the hand that he stretched out sincerely would become a kind of condescending arrogance and charity in the eyes of others. That is original sin, how can there be so many reasons.After so many years, maybe the person in front of him couldn't tell why he regarded Yan Yan as a thorn in his side, and even in the end, he just kept trying to put Yan Yan to death.

However, no matter how ridiculous and insignificant the reason was, Yu Lichu was unwilling to delve into it further.

Waste of emotion.

Yan Yan had gradually calmed down from the initial violent heart palpitations and shortness of breath. He took a step forward and raised his hand to comfort Yu Lichu's shoulder, then turned his head to look in the direction of Mo Ning with a complicated expression. , the trust in his eyes was gone, but in the end he found powerlessly that no matter how free and easy he was, he still wanted to ask for a reason like a human being.

Why?He finally asked.

We spent eight years of college life talking about everything together, and we fought side by side in the front line for four years. You covered me when I was sloppy and lazy, and I acted in your most critical moment. To help me, I never thought of getting anything from you. All along, I just wanted to do my best to treat you well. However, those precious time that was sincere and precious to me, in your eyes now, How much is true and how much is false.

Mo Ning seemed to have known that Yan Yan would eventually ask such a question, but when Yan Yan really asked, he didn't answer immediately, he just stood there, fell into a long and strange silence, and finally gradually rose in the sky He slowly lowered his shoulders amidst the sound of sirens, then turned around in silence, and walked towards the edge of the roof step by step, and when Yan Yan reacted subconsciously to stop, Mo Ning was already standing tall The edge of the roof.

It wasn't until this moment that Yu Lichu suddenly felt something was wrong, and he followed Yan Yan's footsteps while paying attention to Mo Ning's movements, while quickly approaching the edge of the roof, but Mo Ning didn't seem to express any resistance to their approaching , he just raised his hands and flattened his arms, letting the wind from the rooftop on the sixth floor pass through his sleeves. He was wearing a bulky padded jacket with huge pockets, but his whole body seemed as light as a second will disappear.

Not long after, Mo Ning put down his hands, and instead put his hands into the outer pockets of the padded jacket, then raised his eyes to look at Yan Yan complicatedly, his eyes seemed to flash past the past 14 years, From being bright to losing vitality, it only took a second, and then he suddenly opened his mouth and laughed, but his voice was as terrifying and gloomy as a ghost.

He said, Yan Yan, you did nothing wrong.

But it is precisely because you have done nothing wrong that I hate you.

After Mo Ning said the last sentence, he suddenly seemed to have completed some ceremony, and fell backward without any regrets. Yan Yan's eyes were quick and his hands were quick. At this moment, he had already stepped forward and hugged Mo Ning's waist, but this The actions in the chaos still did not save the situation, Mo Ning finally smiled with satisfaction, and fell straight down with her head up.

It was only later that Yu Lichu realized that he took a big step and rushed to the edge of the roof. However, when he stretched his head to look down, what caught his eyes was a corpse lying in a pool of blood downstairs, and he was still in shock. After holding on to his knees and panting for a few quick breaths, he realized belatedly that Yan Yan beside him seemed to have been maintaining the posture he had just fallen for too long.

But when he remembered and turned his head, the sight in front of him made Yu Lichu wake up again and again in his midnight dreams.

At this moment, Yan Yan clutched his heart and curled up on the ground, his whole body convulsed and convulsed, and a large bloodstain was fainting from under his body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

——At the last moment when Yan Yan hugged him, Mo Ning took out a dagger from his pocket and stabbed it into Yan Yan's chest.

How did things come to this...

At this moment, Yu Lichu's mind had been compulsively blank, but the whole person had already rushed forward like crazy, and mechanically rescued Yan Yan with both hands reflexively, and he continued to wait until the rescue Arriving, it was not until he was pulled into the car and taken to the hospital that he was stimulated by the red light outside the operating room to regain his senses.

His appearance at the moment looked terribly embarrassing, with large areas of dried blood from his hands to his cuffs, but he didn't care to clean himself up, he just stood there blankly outside the door of the operating room, waiting to see through. An ancient statue seemed to be completely isolated from this troubled world for an instant.

——Time is precious because time never comes back.

——When people walk in a fork in the road, no matter how many choices they make, they always try to go the same way to find a different possibility, but the reality always leads to the same goal. Not knowing that being human is in itself incomplete.

At this moment, Yu Lichu seemed to have a flash of inspiration and remembered what Yan Yan had said. It was like a prophecy in the dark, waking up the ordinary people who were in their dreams.

If he has worked so hard, but still can't get the same result, then what is the point of everything he has done for a long time?

Yu Lichu spent six hours during the operation under such wild thoughts. When the red light outside the operating room finally went out, the medical staff came out from the opened door. The chief surgeon was Yan Yan's university tutor. Professor Lu, Fang Fu was taken aback when he saw Yu Lichu when he came out, and before he could react, he was thrown on him by the person in front of him.

"How is he?"

Yu Lichu saw Professor Lu in front of him nodding heavily in his earnest eyes, but the next words made Yu Lichu fall into a new round of contemplation. He heard the other party say: "The operation was a success. The stabbing was very dangerous, and it missed the heart by half an inch. If it was unfortunate that there was no such life-saving half an inch, I am afraid that even I would be powerless to fight the knife myself."

At the last moment when Mo Ning fell from the building, it was obvious that he planned to kill him for a long time, but Yu Lichu did not forget that the other party was a doctor of heart surgery. Whether it was a coincidence, it was the last little mercy he found in his conscience. That's okay, in a word, Yan survived, this is already the best result, as for everything else, it's not worth his effort to find out the root cause.

There was still a 24-hour dangerous period after the operation, but Yan Yan passed it safely in the end. When he opened his eyes again, it was already the morning of the third day.

At that time, Yu Lichu was standing by the side closely watching the movement of the person on the bed, and when Yan Yan finally opened his eyes and saw the person in front of him clearly, the two of them met in this frivolous morning light. After the catastrophe, Yu Sheng slowly looked at each other and smiled.

In the blink of an eye, it was the early spring when the grass was growing and Yingfei was flying. It had been half a year since Yan Yan's surgery, and a lot of things had happened during that time, but now they are all coming to an end.

The fourth suspect was arrested on the day of Yan Yan's operation. After interrogation, the suspect confessed that he was instructed by a brother who was in the casino that night. It was all trivial matters, the police followed this clue to blockade one of the largest underground casinos nearby, and finally caught several people who gathered to take drugs, including the man with the birthmark on the back of his neck, and Mo Ning's own brother Mo Fan.

The name of the man who instigated the wounding was Jiang Qiang. Since his father died, he had completely become a jobless vagrant. He usually relied on stealing, rape and trickery to get by. After squatting in the police station for half a day that day, he was still trembling. He confessed all the crimes and confessed the mastermind behind the scenes—it was Mo Ning who had committed suicide in fear of crime.And Mo Fan's re-involvement in gambling has to make people think that it is the result of Mo Ning's help.

He wanted to use someone else's hand to destroy Mo Fan, and then take advantage of the situation to get rid of this burden of many years, but he obviously didn't take the life and death of Mo Xian and Zhou Hong into his consideration at all.

After Mo Fan was arrested and brought back to the police station, he was temporarily detained, and then he would be sent to a drug rehabilitation center for compulsory drug rehabilitation. Zhou Hong also got a job as a cleaner in Chang Wan's studio through Yu Lichu's introduction. So I can rely on this income to live alone with Mo Xian. Although the beginning is difficult, I believe everything will gradually get better.

As for Mo Xian, before Yu Lichu and Yan Yan went to the police station, Yu Lichu called Xu Ying to help him take care of him for a few days before going out on the day Yu Lichu and Yan Yan went to the police station. Back to send to Zhou Hong's side.

He Xin and Gu Yi only found out about everything after Yan Yan was discharged from the hospital. Because Yan Yan was wounded, Yu Lichu had to bear double blame for both of them, and was punished at their wedding party Perform talents in public, and don't step down if you don't ask for a seat.

Yu Lichu was shameless in agreeing, anyway, He Xin and the others didn't specify what to perform, so just making up an excuse and perfunctory will be able to expose the matter.

Now that his mind is full of Yan Yan, he feels that everything else is trivial.

As for the book "Back in Time" lying quietly in the study room, it suddenly disappeared from the same place after a rainy and sunny afternoon. Since then, no one has seen it again.

In the past six months, Yan Yan's injury has completely healed under Li Chu's careful care. The biggest change is probably that Yan Yan gave up the bookstore to someone else, and went back to N University to become a university lecturer——Yan Yan is a doctor After graduating, I received an invitation from N University. I wanted to invite him to give lectures at the university after work. For more than four years, he has been working on both ends. Now he has put it aside for more than a year and picked it up again, but the business has not disappeared. Rusty, but quite handy.

He is going to come back in this way and reach the peak in another field other than practice. Yu Lichu had been worried that he would get himself into a dead end after what happened to Mo Ning. Yu Lichu was devastated by the incident, but he quickly figured everything out. While Yu Lichu was relieved, he was also sincerely happy for Yan Yan.

The day quickly turned to April NO.17, which was Yan Yan’s birthday. Coincidentally, Yu Lichu’s birthday was NO.19, which was the next day. At this time last year, the two hadn’t fully gotten to know each other yet. In addition, two 30-year-old single men hugging each other to celebrate each other's birthday always seems a bit too hypocritical, so they just passed by in a normal way.

But this year is obviously different. One is that the two have lived together for a year, officially established a relationship as a couple, and there are too many things that happened in the middle. Now such a day with its own special meaning, this year is really not uncommon. Reason to celebrate.

When Yan Yan returned home from school at [-] o'clock on his birthday, Yu Lichu was already cooking in the kitchen. Besides two ready-made dishes, there was a six-inch strawberry tart in the middle of the table in the dining room.

After Yan Yan changed his shoes, he went straight to the dining table and sat down on the back of the wooden chair. From this angle, he could just see Yu Lichu who was busy in the kitchen.

Now that the two have been together for half a year, time will shorten the distance between people, but it seems that they can't change their eyes on that person from the beginning to the end.

The person in the distance, even if you can't touch it with your hands, just looking at it can make people feel extremely at ease. Enthusiastic and full of life.

He has learned not to ask what time has taken away from him. Those things that are gradually eliminated under the scouring of time are not enough for him to keep in his heart for a long time, no matter how much he once cherished, I also know how to let go to fulfill myself.

But Yu Lichu was different.

Love is enough to know, Yan Yan feels that this life is lucky enough to meet him in the vast crowd, and for the rest of his life, he only hopes to grow old with him peacefully in the trivial world of fireworks.

Yan Yan couldn't help thinking smugly at this moment, they still have a long, long future.

And when Li Chu came out with the last dish, what he saw was Yan Yan staring at him in a daze, he shook his head with a smile, and then put the dishes on the table next to Yan Yan , and then raised his hand and shook it in front of the man's eyes before regaining Yan Yan's mind that had run away.

Yan Yan recovered his senses and raised his head to meet Yu Lichu's eyes. A second before the corners of his eyes were lowered, he saw the person in front of him suddenly pull out a dewy rose from behind as if by magic, and the flower branch was tied with a rope. a letter.

He looked at Yu Lichu with a questioning look, but he saw the other party smiling at him tenderly: "You are allowed to watch after eating."

After Yu Lichu finished speaking, he stuffed the rose into his hand, and then, in the current posture of standing and sitting face to face, he raised his hand to wrap his head around his head, and made a deep mark on the middle of his forehead. kiss.

"I love you forever, happy 31st birthday, Mr. Yan."

Write to Yan Yan:

It is raining a little outside at the moment, and I am sitting in my study writing to you.

Only when I pick up a pen do I realize that words weigh a thousand catties. After living for almost 30 years, when I look back and think about it, I really haven’t written a letter to anyone properly.

I have never been stingy in expressing myself, but I always feel poor in words and language in front of you.

It may be unbelievable to say it, but I still truly experience the despair without you.At the same time as I was in pain, it was hard for me to deny my hatred for you at that moment, just because you left too simply and cruelly, this couldn't let me simply let go.

But I am still willing to fall for you.

I want to climb mountains and ridges for you, and stab thorns into my chest. Even if I know that there are some things that cannot be said, I still have to write them down day and night to let you mind.

I don't have any great dreams of saving the world, and the sorrows and joys of others have nothing to do with me, but I just want to be the only hero who is loyal to you and will always be unique.

It is written in the song that feelings are always kind, but what is cruel is that people will grow up.

And my feelings for you can be fully summed up in eight words.

Love at first sight, fall in love with each other.

Happy 31st birthday, we still have many next year ahead.

Thanks for meeting.

Yu Lichu
