Chasing the Mist

The night was getting darker, and the torrential rain blocked Gu Xun's sight. Walking in it was like a lonely boat floating on the sea, helpless, he was only thinking about Meng Fan, and he was completely unaware of the car accident.

At 19:30, Gu Xun arrived at the foot of Zijin Mountain on time, with 5 minutes left, and braved the heavy rain to climb up the mountain.

The rainy night in the mountains was exceptionally cold, and he shivered when the wind blew. He didn't care about such trivial things as heat and cold, and his mind went blank, leaving only the idea of ​​climbing quickly.

At 19:34, he finally climbed halfway up the mountain. There was a glimmer of light in the rain, looming, and he walked quickly. There was a temple with candles burning in it.

Gu Xun rolled his eyes, quickly looked around, and there was no one around, so he called softly, "Meng Fan?"

Thunder suddenly sounded in the night sky, shaking the mountain as if shaking, and Gu Xun's heart also trembled. After a while, the thunder stopped, and there was no response from Meng Fan, and an ominous premonition crept into his heart.

He walked forward tentatively, and said, "It's 7:35, and I'll be there in half an hour. Shouldn't you keep your word? Where is Meng Fan?"

At night, the valley was empty and silent, only the sound of ruthless and indifferent thunderstorm was heard, and no one responded.

The less people spoke, the more uneasy, Gu Xun felt the gun and walked forward step by step, approaching the temple gate, and heard a faint sound coming from behind the stone tablet, like the whimpering of an animal when it was injured.

"Meng Fan?"

Still no one responded, and the faint sound behind the stele became louder.

Gu Xun quietly loaded the gun, and walked over cautiously. In the dim light, a black shadow curled up against the stone tablet. It was not an animal, but a human. He raised the gun, "Who?"

The man turned his back to Gu Xun, moved his legs, and whimpered. The rain was too loud, and Gu Xun couldn't hear it clearly. He looked up and looked around. The heavy rain blocked his sight, so he couldn't confirm whether there was an ambush, so he simply walked over quickly.

The man leaned sideways on the stone tablet and sat on the ground with his lower limbs. Gu Xun pointed a gun at him with one hand and turned him over with the other.

The moment the man turned over and faced each other, Gu Xun couldn't help shaking his hand, and the gun fell to the ground, "Meng Fan!" His high-pitched voice was infinitely sad.

Meng Fan's chest undulates slightly, his facial features remain unchanged, his upper body is naked||naked, and there is a glaring gash in his abdomen, the edges are turned outwards, and internal organs can be faintly seen. The rainwater dilutes the blood on the edge of the wound. Zhang He breathed intermittently, and couldn't speak a word for a long time, only whining.

The rain was cold and slapped on the face. It was painful and cold. Gu Xun woke up like a dream, "Meng Fan persists, I will send you to the hospital right away."

Meng Fan pushed Gu Xun away, "He lied to... us, hurry... go." With one movement and one sentence, all his strength was used up, and after speaking, he tilted his head, no Moved.

"Meng Fan wakes up, I'm here to save you, I'm here to save you." Gu Xun mumbled to himself, carried Meng Fan in his arms and ran down the mountain crazily. There was a loud noise, and there was also a gunshot among them.

Gu Xun has a keen sense of hearing, caught the gunshot, and even felt that the bullet was flying towards his head, and it was too late to dodge. Just when he thought he would die in Zijin Mountain, a huge force beside him pushed him down, and he and Meng Fan's body fell into the mud together.

Then with a "boom", another person fell to the ground, and that person hooked his body without making a sound.

A strong premonition welled up in his heart. Gu Xun wiped away the rainwater in front of his eyes. He couldn't control the dirt on his body. He got up and rushed into the rainstorm. After two steps, he knelt down next to Lin Yiran, his lips trembling uncontrollably, unable to utter a word. His language was pale, he lost the ability to speak, and his heart throbbed like a knife.

Lin Yiran lightly pressed his index finger to his lips, signaling Gu Xun not to speak, and at the same time wrapped his arms around his neck with one hand and leaned towards his mouth.

Gu Xun understood the meaning of this movement, and immediately put his ear to it.

"He was hiding behind the temple, with a gun, and the number of people is uncertain... Seeing me come alive... I can guess that he didn't kill us all, and he probably escaped now...You Don't make a sound, don't move, just sit here and wait for help." Lin Yiran said something and took a break for a few seconds. After he finished speaking, a layer of cold sweat had formed on his forehead, mixed with the rain. He knew that with Gu Xun's temperament, it was impossible to watch the murderer escape. Doing nothing, he said again: "We had a car accident...he suffered heavy injuries. If you get injured or sacrificed again, we will be completely wiped out. Brother, let him go for now... This account will slowly be dealt with in the future." Calculate."

car accident?

Seriously injured?

Gu Xun grasped the key words, and connected the whole story together in his mind at once. The murderer grasped his mentality that he would come to save people, and set up the situation. He immediately felt mixed feelings. He sat down and touched Lin Yiran's head was covered with sticky liquid, it was not rain.

He realized something, took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight. In an instant, he took a breath, and Lin Yiran was bleeding from the top of his head. The blood was mixed with the rain, and flowed down the side of his face. The blood man suddenly had a huge stone on his heart.

Lin Yiran kept covering his right arm with his left hand. He stepped forward and opened his left hand to see the blood hole on his right arm. The bullet hit Lin Yiran's arm just now.

"If you're so injured and don't go to the hospital, what are you going to do up the mountain? Seeking death? Huh?" Gu Xun felt distressed and angry, picked him up and ran down the mountain.

Lin Yiran's head was pressed against Gu Xun's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, he complained softly, "What's so fierce? I saved you."

The tip of Gu Xun's nose was sour, and all kinds of fluids mixed together on his face. He couldn't tell you from me, and his tone was still strong: "I don't need your help."

Lin Yiran raised his hand and touched his face, "Brother, you would rather die than not need me, just hate me so much?"

Gu Xun was silent for a moment, his shortness of breath gradually stabilized, and then he said, "I don't hate it."

The corners of Lin Yiran's mouth turned up and he smiled in satisfaction. At the same time, his physical strength was exhausted, his thinking gradually blurred, he slowly closed his eyes, and lost consciousness.

When I woke up again, I was in a white room with a needle hanging in my hand. The man sitting beside the bed was sleeping with his head buried in his head. Lin Yi was so familiar with the sound of breathing evenly. Silk soft hardness is moderate, feel good.

Gu Xun was a light sleeper, Lin Yiran opened his eyes as soon as he moved, looked up for a moment, then smiled, "Are you awake?"

Lin Yiran hurriedly withdrew his hand and nodded embarrassingly.

Gu Xun stood up, "I'll call the doctor."

"Brother, stay with me for a while." Lin Yiran took advantage of the wounded to the fullest.

"Big man, why are you being so pretentious?" Gu Xun bluntly said the words of refusal, but obediently sat back down.

Lin Yiran sat up on the edge of the bed. For the rest of his life, his mind was half blank, and he didn't want to do anything. He just wanted to take a good look at Gu Xun, and just looked at him quietly, as if a glance was his whole life.

Gu Xun was uncomfortable being looked at by Lin Yiran, touched the smoke on his body, and realized that he had been staying in the ward for the past few days, and the smoke had long since disappeared, so he took out a few red roses from the bedside bouquet and blocked Lin Yiran's eyes, "What's there to see? It's not like I haven't seen it before."

Lin Yiran's nose moved slightly, "It's very fragrant, who bought it?"

"Yuan He."

Lin Yiran looked at Gu Xun through the cracks of the roses, "I knew you wouldn't be the one who bought it. By the way, how about Meng Jia and Brother Cheng?"

Gu Xun took the flowers back and threw them aside, "Meng Jia was lucky only to have scratches outside the skin, Zheng Tiancheng had a broken left hand, Zhang Lin had both legs amputated, and Zhou Jing... died."

Although Lin Yiran had been prepared for a long time, when he heard Zhou Jing's sacrifice, he still felt a little bit in his heart. The scene of a car accident appeared in front of his eyes. The truck hit the driver's side, Zhou Jing was driving, and Zhang Lin was sitting behind him.

The SUV was knocked over by the truck immediately, Lin Yiran and Meng Jia climbed out one after another, Meng Jia stayed at the scene to call for rescue.

Lin Yiran rushed to the middle of the road to stop a private car regardless of life and death, and forced a strange driver to take him to Zijin Mountain. Because things changed, he had to abandon the original plan and take the risk of taking the northern route. When he climbed halfway up the mountain, he happened to see a bullet heading towards Gu Xun's head Fly to that scene.

"Drink a glass of water." Gu Xun interrupted his memory.

Lin Yiran dropped the bandage with one hand, held the water glass with the other and lowered his head to drink water. The warm glass was warm in his palm, "That car?"

"The car ran away. The car has been parked on the side of the road for almost a year. The owner of the car is a villager nearby. He hasn't come back for nearly half a year after working outside. At around 7:20 that night, some villagers came out to take out the garbage and saw someone open the door and enter the place. According to the description of the witnesses, we can infer that the driver who caused the accident was a male, about 1 meters tall, wearing a black hat, thin, and dressed in black, with quick movements, and he is more likely to be a young man."

Lin Yiran's mind suddenly flashed, the man in the surveillance video of Ergou BBQ Restaurant.

The time when the truck hit was about 19:24, Gu Xun arrived at Zijin Mountain at 19:30, fled the scene of the accident, rushed to Zijin Mountain before Gu Xun, killed Meng Fan, prepared guns and then lurked, this series Things cannot be done by one person within 6 minutes. For this incident, there must be two people working together.

The purpose of creating the car accident was nothing more than to cut off Gu Xun's escape route and ensure that he went up the mountain alone. When he saw Meng Fan's encounter, he was eager to save people. When he lowered his guard, he shot him to death, straightforward.

Why did the murderer want Gu Xun's life?

Because he is the captain of the criminal police in charge of the case?

A captain is gone, and there are others who will take over as captain. The police will not stop investigating the case because of the loss of a captain. The murderer must understand this.

Excluding the murderer's deliberate revenge on the police, there is only one possibility-personal enmity.

Meng Fan was on the verge of death, when Gu Xun was emotionally collapsed, desperate and helpless, it was the best time to strike, but the murderer didn't shoot, and he didn't do it until Gu Xun came to his senses and ran down with Meng Fan.

Why is that?

Because he was hiding in the rainy night and peeping, Gu Xun's collapse and the collapse of his mind made him happy and happy. In other words, he hated Gu Xun, not just for revenge.

Lin Yiran felt a chill running down his spine. Gu Xun lived a simple life and had a small social circle. People who could hate to death should not be in the circle of life. "Brother, have any of the murderer's family members in previous cases strongly dissatisfied?"

What Lin Yiran deduced, Gu Xun naturally thought of it earlier, and smiled lightly, "There are too many, I can't count them."

"Now let's look at the murderer Ben...you are here. He imitated Jack Ripper's behavior of writing a letter to provoke the police, and deliberately left Jack's signature to provoke you. Gao Meiyue's suicide is so private, he knows it all , it means that either this person is by your side and knows your life, past, and personality well, or he has spent a lot of time investigating and following you." The chill in Lin Yiran's spine quickly spread to his whole body, and he felt creepy.
