murder begins in summer

Qiu Shili remembers that after he put on earrings at the age of 16, he quickly integrated into the group of red earrings.He has the same color as Old K and Shao San, and that's how red is positioned. Any one of them is just a small spot among the hundreds of registered assassins, bodyguards and mercenaries. They can all be wiped out, the only difference is that light red hands have fewer lives, while dark red hands have more lives.

Although he still has some special features, for example, he is the one closest to the core, and he also has a certain freedom that other light red and deep red dare not ask for, but, compared to offering him as a glass young master, guys It also tends to see him as a colleague who can work hard together and make friends with him without any barriers.

Afterwards, Qiu Shili began to frequently contact the white ear studs in factories and laboratories. They are a group with an even more astonishing number. change.

Soon he realized personally that in this huge chain, color is not only a display of functions, but also a kind of isolation of status, and no one can intersect with each other.

Bai is just a toiling worker ant, while Hong has mastered valuable production technology or life-worthy killing methods, temporarily becoming the leader among the worker ants, but still unable to control his own life and death. The carnivore is the eaves under the spire, and the black is a more distant existence.

Perhaps there is no need to be so inscrutable at all.

The answer is only power, only power.It is the concentration of power that props up this tower and turns so much money, and it is also power that creates a heavy burden on everyone.

Qiu Shili had no intention of sympathizing with others, nor did he feel sorry for himself. In the blood-red strangulation and being strangled, he didn't care about the end of the road, but just looked up. He thought that one day, he would see his elder brother standing in the highest position. .

Now, that pair of ivory black metal is placed in the elder brother's hands, it seems to be very heavy and cold, just like Shi Zhanyang's stern eyes.

Qiu Shili was sincerely happy for him.

He thought, Big Brother deserves it.

He thought again, this is what the eldest brother needs most.He understood Shi Zhanyang's determination to change this "home".

However, Shi Zhanyang was not in a hurry to start, he was not even in a hurry to put on the black, but started to prepare for his father's funeral.Although Qiu Shili helped him, he first transported his father back to his home, and then wore a black gauze on his sleeve, and accompanied Shi Zhanyang to welcome and send him off, receiving relatives and friends who came to express condolences, and perfected the etiquette.

There were also two memorial services, one for white friends, and the other for black friends.Government, business, military and police, gangsters, and priests and monks are all welcome and managed separately.

Seeing that they were all dressed in mourning clothes, lowered their heads in mourning, tall, short, fat, and thin, with all three religions and nine streams, the so-called good people didn't get close to each other, and the so-called bad people fought with each other, and each of them fell in love with the young successors of the Shi family at first sight. I really can't see any difference.

After the first seven days, this lengthy social activity seemed to end. In the evening, the ashes of their father were respectfully delivered to them.

Shi Zhanyang was leaning on Qiu Shili's shoulder, half asleep and half awake. He was so tired that he sat up straight when he saw the urn.

Under the firelight of the fireplace, the wooden box body is reflected with dancing light, which looks very warm, and it doesn't match death, and it doesn't seem to match father.He just stared at it silently for a long time, then leaned back on Qiu Shili's shoulder.

"We're going back to the ancestral grave again, ナナ." He said softly.

Qiu Shili pulled a blanket and covered him and himself, "The itinerary has been arranged, and the burial will be the day after tomorrow. It will be a sunny day."

Shi Zhanyang kept silent and breathed evenly. Qiu Shili pawned his pillow for a few minutes and couldn't help but said, "Brother, please sleep for a while."

Still no one answered, Qiu Shili cautiously looked down, only to see that Shi Zhanyang had already fallen asleep.

Qiu Shili started to stare at the wooden box, and at the same time quietly held the elder brother's hand.

The weather forecast was not accurate. On the day of the burial, it rained moderately in Hong Kong, but everything went on as usual.Braving the cold in the early morning, all relatives went, including the still ignorant fourth child, the second child who hadn't returned for a long time, and many faces that Qiu Shili had only seen in photos.

The stele had already been erected, and beside their mother's tombstone, both the inscription and the tomb looked very new.Death became quite simple at this moment. The ashes were put in, covered with soil, covered with bricks, and offered with incense and wine. The trees in the big circle are all evergreen, and further outside, on the plank road of the cemetery and the side of the road under the hillside, there are more people guarding, and there is a long queue of cars.

Shi Zhanyang never said much, maintaining an attitude of intimacy and intimacy, and after the burial, he took the lead in toasting the portrait.Everyone drank the liquor, Shi Zhanyang finally bowed, turned around and left, Qiu Shili followed behind him, holding an umbrella for him.

Afterwards, he went down the hillside and sat back in the car. The shoulder sleeves of the windbreaker were still wet a lot. My relatives, friends, guys, this is a big black area, and then I went to each car. The convoy left one by one, leaving behind a long bush. The sound of the whistle sounded like the last period of this long farewell.

In the lonely autumn rain afternoon, they left Hong Kong.

He returned to his home non-stop, and Shi Zhanyang didn't rest at all. He locked himself in the underground secret room and simply notified Qiu Shili to go down to find him at 08:30 in the evening. Qiu Shili felt uneasy and came to the door of the secret room on time. The stone door was closed tightly, and the butler was guarding it.

"Third Master, you are here." He has changed his words.

Qiu Shili nodded at the housekeeper, and straightened his collar. He really didn't know whether he should shout or knock in front of this kind of door, but he saw the heavy stone door opened from the inside, and it was a silver earring for him. It's open.This man is in his fifties, Chinese, surnamed Wei and named Qi. He is in charge of the sales of light weapons to South America. He doesn't come to the house often, but Qiu Shili is deeply impressed by him.

The reason was that Shi Zhanyang had given Qiu Shili a list before, all of them were his family members who had long-term cooperation with drug dealers, and this one was at the top of the list.

"Mr. Qiu." He raised his arms and greeted Qiu Shili.

"Mr. Wei." Qiu Shili nodded to thank him, and walked quickly into the room. The light in the secret room was dim, and there were only two people sitting at the round table, one Shi Yizhou and the other Shi Zhanyang, facing each other, and then Wei Qi also took a seat, between the two of them.

Qiu Shili noticed that the elder brother had three diamond-shaped small metal boxes by his hand, and the tea on the table was so cold that it was no longer steaming. They must have been in this room for a while.

He also noticed that the pendant on his elder brother's earlobe had turned black.

It's just two points, it's just a change in color, the appearance of the eldest brother is reflected in the eyes, but it seems to have changed more.Qiu Shili couldn't tell.

"Sit down." Shi Zhanyang said with a smile.

Qiu Shili pulled out the chair on his right and sat down, facing the kind-hearted Wei Qi.Of the five silver earrings that used to be, now two are dead, and when Shi Zhanyang is removed, the rest are here.

Silver earrings only need to unify their opinions, log in to the account at the same time, and confirm the decision to strangle, then even the highest black can be killed.

There are four small pieces of bright metal, all in the corner of the eye at this moment, shining like the eyes of animals.Qiu Shili squeezed the sweat from his palms, and leaned back in the chair calmly, feeling the handle of the knife stuck behind his waist.

Shi Zhanyang looked very relaxed, "We were talking about the factory just now," he folded his hands on the table and looked at Qiu Shili, "I'm going to close down the explosives factory in Pittsburgh, as well as several basic guns in Russia. Correspondingly, those products will no longer be produced after the current order is delivered.”

Qiu Shili has already guessed what the big brother meant. The things produced by those factories are the lowest price and the most common stalls in hot weapons. In recent years, the main source of customers is also illegal organizations such as small gangs from various places, and some drug dealers. A gang of mercenaries.

But he understands that he can't rashly talk about this kind of thing, so he said cautiously: "The benefits in the past few years are really not good."

Shi Zhanyang knocked on the table, "Yes, we still need to focus on higher technology. I think the recent batches of drones have made a lot of money." He turned his face again and looked at Wei Qi with insight, "In any business, the bigger the better, the bigger the tree attracts the wind, right?"

Wei Qi nodded with a smile, "Boss, you are the number one now, and the direction and positioning are all up to you to decide."

Shi Zhanyang also laughed, and poured him a cup of tea, "Old Wei, you have learned to hurt me so quickly, you are so polite, no matter how you look at it, I don't know my age."

Wei Qi slapped himself directly, blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, and he still smiled, "Look at what you said, it scared me like this!"

Shi Zhanyang didn't speak, handed him a tissue, and then went to look at Shi Yizhou, "Second brother, what do you think?"

Shi Yizhou touched the corner of his mouth, raised his eyes and said, "Where are so many workers? Are you going to run out of food all of a sudden?"

Shi Zhanyang poured another cup of tea for Qiu Shili, and said calmly, "Pay five years' salary in one lump sum."

Shi Yizhou laughed loudly, "Brother, have you calculated how much this is?"

"Forget it," Shi Zhanyang looked at him seriously, "Wouldn't it be possible to save your money if you missed a few visits to the casino?"

Shi Yizhou's eyes widened, and Shi Zhanyang said again: "Don't worry, I won't spend your money, and those small factories you moved out can still continue to produce, your good friends can't be short of goods."

Hearing this, Shi Yizhou's face changed drastically. He only thought that Shi Zhanyang had seen him clearly, but he didn't expect that Shi Zhanyang would put the transfer of his family property on the surface, subconsciously Going to see Wei Qi, Wei Qi still had a friendly face and said: "The boss has done this matter neatly. In terms of loyalty, there is no choice between the two paths. I support it with both hands."

Shi Zhanyang didn't listen to his flattery as human words, "Then make it so and announce it to the public tomorrow." He suddenly looked at Qiu Shili, "The big thing is over, now let's talk about a small thing. I called here to let you guys take off this crap." He pointed to his earrings.

"Us?" Shi Yizhou asked.

"You three." Shi Zhanyang smiled softly, "I've already finished changing, and I'm still not used to it."

Qiu Shili was stunned for a moment. He knew that compared to the earrings used as a symbol, what was more important was the account behind it, and the permissions that the account could operate. A superficial thing.

He was thinking, only to hear Shi Yizhou ask: "Why take it off? Change the color? No way, brother."

Shi Zhanyang nodded, "Just to change the color, you and Old Wei will wear red in the future."

Shi Yizhou immediately stood up, with an expression of disbelief, "Why?"

Shi Zhanyang paused for a moment, raised his face to look at him, and slowly said: "Actually, I have downgraded your authority, and now you are a red-level account. It is meaningless to insist on wearing silver. Of course, I If I agree with you to take it off, then you can choose not to wear red and get out of this bullshit system, so you don’t have to worry about being killed by me one day.”

Shi Yizhou suddenly trembled with anger, looked at Wei Qi who was still hello and me, and trembled even harder, even biting his lips to bleed, "Shi Zhanyang... Shi Zhanyang, you can do it, you OK!" he said ramblingly.

Shi Zhanyang looked directly at Wei Qi, "Old Wei, the second child was grown up by you. You have a good relationship, and I know that one day you will be impulsive and electrocute me to death together. I went down there. I can’t explain it to my father,” he said lightly, as if he was patiently explaining some simple and easy-to-understand truths to the child, even though what he was actually doing was tearing his face apart, as he spoke, he took a different The unobtrusive small tin box was handed over, "Come on, do it yourself."

Wei Qi shook his wrist faintly, took the iron box, but did not open it, took off his silver earrings, carefully placed them on the table, stood up, and bowed deeply to Shi Zhanyang, "Boss, you I also watched him grow up, I can't bear what I said just now."

"Yeah." Shi Zhanyang nodded with a smile.

Wei Qi said awkwardly again: "I'm so old, and I'm thinking of retiring recently, isn't it good?"

Shi Zhanyang patted him on the shoulder and helped him up again, "That's right. I asked someone to visit your girl two days ago, and she will give birth next month. You just go home and hug your grandchildren."

Wei Qi was already in a cold sweat, "Ah, ah, thanks for your good words!" He sighed, wiped his sweat, and sat in the chair silently. Qiu Shili looked away from his elder brother and stared at his empty earlobe.

Shi Zhanyang clasped the second iron box in his hand, and did not pass it to Shi Yizhou who was already stunned, "Do you want to change it? Second brother, in fact, it's not bad for you to go out and set up another family. You don't have to put it away every day because of such a small thing." Keep your hands and feet open."

But Shi Yizhou burst into tears, wiping away his tears indiscriminately, Qiu Shili thought that this was a bit too crying, only to hear him dawdling for a long time, suddenly swallowed his crying, and shouted loudly: "I'll change!"

Shi Zhanyang was a little surprised, but he still handed the tin box to his outstretched hand, "Okay."

Seeing that Shi Yizhou was sobbing and weeping unsatisfactorily, while unscrewing the two silver grains, and pressing the red on, Wei Qi looked shyly at Qiu Shili's face and asked, "Then now, how about?" There is no more silver? Old Chen and Du have all returned to the West..."

"Yes." Shi Zhanyang said.

Wei Qi still looked at Qiu Shili, his eyes straightened, "That's—"

Shi Zhanyang stood up, holding the last iron box in his hand, walked straight behind Qiu Shili who was in great shock, supported the back of his chair, and looked at Wei Qi indifferently.

Wei Qi immediately understood, "Xiaozhou, Xiaozhou!" He propped himself up on the table to make himself stand up straight, and said that Yizhou was about to leave when he pulled it up, and said in a babbling manner, "Wearing earrings...is a matter of being alone. , private, don't get in the way of your brother!"

Shi Yizhou was still struggling with him at first, refusing to move, but soon he couldn't even stand firmly. He opened his mouth and looked at Shi Zhanyang in disbelief. Kira came out of the Chamber of Secrets.

The butler's cuffs appeared at the door, and immediately, the stone door closed.

Qiu Shili was jolted back to his senses by the hard sound, his head was buzzing, his body suddenly stood up, and he turned around to look at his elder brother recklessly, "Brother, I, I..."

Shi Zhanyang relaxed his whole body, pulled out the chair, stood close to him, put his arms around him, let him lean against the edge of the table, and leaned his forehead on the crook of his neck, arched like a baby, and then Rubbing affectionately, "It's so annoying to speak in that tone, I really want to tell them to get out! How can there be so much politeness!"

"...That's still not good, you also told me to be graceful at all times." Qiu Shili said dryly, raised his hand, and put his arm around the elder brother's shoulder, "Anyway, it's settled now, let's go back to sleep .”

"Are you sleepy?" Shi Zhanyang touched the tip of his nose and looked at him without blinking.

"No, no, I'm not sleepy."

Shi Zhanyang suddenly smiled, that kind of real, snow-melting smile, which he had never seen before, "ナナ is so nervous."

"Yes." Qiu Shili closed his eyelids obediently.

"Okay," Shi Zhanyang tugged at his cheek, and opened the iron box in his hand, "Look at this."

Qiu Shili sat on the table, with his legs stuck on his elder brother's side. Looking down, he saw a piece of earrings on a piece of velvet in the box, two pieces of rhombus shaped like crushed ice, shining brightly in the dim light.

"They used to be mine and stayed with me for 11 years."

"En." Qiu Shili looked at them intently. He actually recognized them at first sight. He had never observed other people's silver stud earrings, but he had stared at them, touched them, and even kissed them.

He knows them.

"Now, I'm going to give them to my ナナ. Actually, the permissions are already set, but the silver color looks good."

Shi Zhanyang was breathing hot air, and was about to pick off the earrings for Qiu Shili, but Qiu Shili grabbed his wrist, "Brother," he calmed down and looked into his elder brother's eyes, "Wait, listen first I'm done."

"Okay." Shi Zhanyang held his hand back.

"Silver...as long as everyone agrees to kill someone, even if it's black, that black will die too. Together, they can kill anyone."

Shi Zhanyang smiled and let him continue.

"If I wear it, silver will only be me now."

"Will you kill me?" Shi Zhanyang raised his wrist, stroked Qiu Shili's slightly sweaty sideburns cherishingly, and unscrewed the small ring fixed behind his left ear without any explanation.

The little nail that looked like a drop of blood was removed, but Qiu Shili's earlobe was still red, a small and soft one, pinched by Shi Zhanyang's fingertips, felt warm.

"Brother, you might as well ask me if I will kill myself." Qiu Shili said very seriously.

Shi Zhanyang narrowed his eyes, and went to pick off the right ear, "We all started talking stupid things."

Qiu Shili stopped struggling, and still stared straight at him, "But, if it's just me, the silver color is no different from the black color. It's just one person who can make the decision."

Shi Zhanyang put the two red grains on the table and kissed Qiu Shili's rarely vacant earlobes. He thought that they would be nailed with a new weight after a while, "You and I are no different from the beginning."

Qiu Shili's eyes were red, "But—"

Shi Zhanyang covered his mouth and looked at him closely, "ナナ, the only one I can trust most now is you. I can only rely on you. While protecting you, I also need to be protected by you , so I have to give you more power, which is more like a responsibility, do you understand?"

Qiu Shili nodded his head heavily, and his breathing became short of breath.

Shi Zhanyang bit the words firmly, and said: "Then I just ask now, do you want them?"

As soon as he finished asking, Shi Zhanyang withdrew his hand covering his mouth, but before Qiu Shili could catch his breath, he held his face tightly and kissed him frantically. Speaking to the extreme.

Shi Zhanyang was stunned for a moment. In fact, he really wanted to keep kissing, but he settled down and parted temporarily, "Put it on first, put it on first." He murmured and repeated, took out the two small things from the box, and put them in the palm of his hand.

They used to be like a part of his body, but today, it is too difficult and too painful. His childhood wish was that Qiu Shili would never touch them, but now, he has made all preparations and is about to take them Being nailed into Qiu Shili's body was already destined to be nailed to death, but he felt that his wish had come true.

Qiu Shili got down from the table, stood upright, held his breath, his lips glistened with water, and he brushed his broken hair behind his ears.

The fixation of the two earrings is just a matter of a moment.

It is also simple to describe, a part of Shi Zhanyang's body now belongs to Qiu Shili.

Only then did Qiu Shili regain his breath, and said slowly, in a trance, "Brother, I want to make myself yours, I want to become your thing."

Shi Zhanyang was surprised for a moment, but shook his head, looked at him deeply, took a breath, and said: "Nana, you have to remember that you are independent of me, you have to have what you like, and what you want is your own. What you hate, what you want and what you don't want, this is your freedom, and it is something that the family you are in cannot take away."

Qiu Shili showed a puzzled expression.

Shi Zhanyang hugged him, as if he wanted to rub him into his bones, "You can have no one in your future, but you must not be without yourself. I have been working hard... I have been thinking that no one should force you, From today on, I will never let anyone force you."

Qiu Shili didn't speak any more, but stood on tiptoe again, held his eldest brother's face in his hands, and persistently continued the kiss just now.
