Surrounded

The hour hand slipped past 11 o'clock, everything was silent, there were very few pedestrians on the street, and the snow piled up next to it had long been trampled and polluted, forming a hard mass that harbored filth.

Still shutting down.Lin Lu went downstairs wrapped in a coat and scarf, and saw a familiar white Audi around the corner.Ye Shijian was leaning on the co-pilot, with his right hand stretched out of the window, holding an empty beer bottle in his hand.

Reeks of alcohol.

"Go home." Lin Lu patted his cheek that was blown cold by the wind, Ye Shijian hid to the left, and then fell into a deep sleep again.The white street lights make the night of melting snow even colder and biting. The inside and outside of the car are like two worlds.

Five minutes later, Ye Shijian finally opened his eyes, his neck was sore, but he still maintained that awkward posture, and asked Lin Lu drunkenly, "Aren't you leaving if I don't get up?"

"Yeah." Lin Lu put it in his pocket, "It depends how long you want to freeze me."

He wanted the cold wind to wake him up, but he didn't want to hurt that person even the slightest bit.Ye Shijian turned around and walked down resentfully, sometimes the more he wanted to get drunk, the more sober he became, and he kept cutting and messing up.

"Why did you turn off the phone?" Lin Lu saw that he was walking steadily, and he didn't think he was really drunk. Ye Shijian subconsciously touched his pocket, and then lied belatedly: "The battery is out."

"Can't the car be charged?" Lin Lu stopped in front of him, "Don't want to go home? Don't want to see me?"

"No." Ye Shijian was a little speechless, "I...I didn't."

Lin Lu snorted lightly: "Ye Shijian, how many times do you want me to wait for you without hearing from you? As I said, if you do this again, I really don't care about you."

Is this caring?Ye Shijian thought about it.

Under the influence of alcohol, his reaction was slow and stiff, Ye Shijian hadn't figured out whether Lin Lu was concerned or angry, he had already left himself and walked away.

Probably angry.Ye Shijian smiled wryly.

All the way back home without a word, a movie he hadn't seen was playing on the TV, the feeling of alcohol was blown to his limbs by the oncoming warm wind, and even his mind became chaotic.Lin Lu took off his down jacket and threw him into the sofa, looking down at him condescendingly: "Explain now or wait until you wake up tomorrow?"

"Explain what?" Ye Shijian pretended to be stupid while he was drunk, but Lin Lu didn't answer his words, but just looked at him with a cold face. Ye Shijian shrank his feet and bargained with him, "Now and tomorrow , is there any difference?"

"When will you explain clearly, when will I go to sleep."

Where did you learn this fucking self-abuse? !Ye Shijian was speechless: "If I don't wake you up, you will blow cold wind, and if I don't explain you, you won't sleep. Are you punishing me or yourself?"

"I want to know if you still love me." Lin Lu said very bluntly, "Do you still like me?"

Why did the subject and object switch places unconsciously?

Ye Shijian's mind was in such a mess, he didn't know how to pierce that layer of window paper.There are too many coincidences between him and Lin Lu. It was a coincidence that Lao Yang picked him up eight years ago, and it was a coincidence that they reunited eight years later.Blue Water Club, LZ Photography Studio, the unexpected encounters are coincidences, coincidences, coincidences, but so many coincidences collide, is it really just a coincidence?

And the providence that he had been thankful for had been mixed with calculations.

"I like it, why don't I like it." He looked at Lin Lu with red eyes, his voice was almost hoarse, "What about you?"

"How much did you drink?" Lin Lu came over to untie his scarf, "I can't contact you, I'm very worried."

Seeing his nose sour, Ye Shi tried to hold back a smile: "Colleagues got too drunk at dinner, I'm afraid you'll scold me."

The lie was lame enough, but Lin Lu didn't care about it. He was so smart that Ye Shi couldn't hide a look or a movement. What he wanted was a statement. At least for now, both of them could wear masks and continue to pretend.

"Lin Lu," Ye Shijian asked him with the last glimmer of hope, "are you hiding anything from me?"

"No." Lin Lu answered quickly, as naturally as thousands of drills, Ye Shijian would rather he said yes, even if he didn't say anything, he was willing to continue to believe him.

"I'm going on a business trip for a few days." Ye Shijian stared blankly at the floor.

"Okay." Lin Lu said, "I'll wait for you to come back."

Did not ask where to go, what to do.Ye Shijian even prepared lies, but to that person, none of them seemed important.

He thought of how he defended him at the top of his lungs in the meeting room of the city bureau in the afternoon, and felt extremely ironic for a moment.They all said that Lin Lu approached him with a purpose, but he refused to believe it or let go.

He insisted on using coincidence to mention it all. They asked what kind of coincidence would make a boy under the age of seventeen appear in a strange city [-] kilometers away in a month after his family broke down, and then he happened to meet you.Ye Shijian was speechless, this is not the way to drop stuffing from the sky.

But so what with the purpose, maybe because his mother died of Sep drugs, he hated the drug trafficking organization, why did he find Lao Yang, because Lao Yang brought people to destroy the organization, to him Lao Yang is a bunch Light.

With an excuse full of loopholes, he couldn't convince himself at all, and he couldn't open his mouth to confront him.

Lin Lu dragged his suitcase out of the bedroom, Ye Shi saw a heart in his throat, and then he realized that it was his suitcase.Seeing it or not, the panic at that moment betrayed how much I loved him and how much I couldn't bear him.

Lin Lu started to rummage through the pockets of his down jacket after unpacking his luggage, took out his wallet and counted: "Cash, ID card, bank card...safety charm."

The peace talisman is very old, the lines have been scratched and the edges have been rubbed off. When Lin Lu was in the temple yesterday, he asked him if he wanted a new one, but he refused.After so many years of sticking to the old obsessions, facing the tribulations in the world with optimism, and brainwashing the heavens to assign great responsibilities to the people, it is downright pessimistic in their bones.Ye Shijian held a little bit of happiness and refused to let go, but he needed the truth more, but the truth had to be verified by himself, even if he stuck a knife into his heart in the end.

They kissed and went to bed tacitly, and kept silent about love and the past, maybe for the last time.Opening his eyes back to back until dawn, Ye Shijian embarked on a journey to Province Y.

He looked back at his sleeping lover, when I come back, Lin Lu, are you still there?

Ye Shijian has been to Province Y several times. The last time he came was half a year ago to squat in Lenghui, and he got nothing at that time. What about this time.

Don't think about it, don't let yourself be immersed in this endless speculation and sadness!Ye Shijian pulled himself together and walked out of the airport with a smile. He first went to the local police station.

"Handsome guy, here we come again." The policewoman in charge of receiving him has transitioned from the initial bumping of the deer to the current peace of mind, "This is the file you want, why didn't you come with Officer Fang, you have to go one by one After."

"Ah." Ye Shijian didn't say much, took the file and glanced at it, "Is there all the information about the Baiyin case?"

The policewoman nodded: "Officer Fang asked me to put it away after reading these, saying that you would definitely come, I didn't expect it to be so soon."

"Who handled this case back then?" Ye Shijian asked.

"It's Lao Hu, I'll take you there." The female policeman led the way, "So the drug Baiyin took eight years ago is definitely the Sep that is popular in H City now?"

"Maybe." Ye Shijian said.

Lao Hu was particularly impressed by this case back then: "It's too tragic. When we arrived at the scene, we saw two bloody corpses. The man had been stabbed dozens of times, and he didn't even have a piece of good meat on his body. What about the woman? Sigh..." Lao Hu shook his head, "Her son held her in his arms, and the child was only in his teens. He was motionless and expressionless at the time. We thought he must be frightened, but later found out that this Children are unusual."

Ye Shijian's heart was throbbing. Lin Lu witnessed his mother taking drugs and killing people, and finally wiped her neck and died in his arms. Lin Lu was so hopeless and helpless at that time.

"He..." Ye Shijian took a deep breath, "Why is he unusual?"

"It was very calm from the beginning to the end." Lao Hu took a sip of tea excitedly, "I have never met such a child. We were thinking whether to find a psychologist to enlighten him first, but he logically The whole process of the incident told us everything, like... like just talking about an unimportant thing, without any sadness at all."

"When Baiyin killed someone, what was he doing?" Ye Shijian asked very hard.

"It was at the scene." Old Hu said, "Because he was afraid of being accidentally injured, he never went up to stop him."

Did you just watch that man get hacked to death?

"After all, it's not his own." Lao Hu sighed, "The deceased Song Jincheng was his stepfather. The relationship between the two is not far or close, but Baiyin loves her son very much. It's a pity that her son is a cold-blooded animal. A drop of tear None for her."

"How do you know he didn't shed tears." Ye Shijian said angrily, "Not everyone likes to cry in front of others!"

Cold-blooded, yes, cold-blooded.

"Don't get excited, let me just say it." Lao Hu smiled awkwardly, "Probably the children of rich families are different, and they have experienced a lot."

Ye Shijian knew that he had overreacted, but at any time, he reflexively wanted to protect Lin Lu. "Did you ask Lin Lu about the drugs Baiyin was taking at that time? Does he know where it came from?" Ye Shijian asked.

Old Hu thought for a while: "I asked, but he said he didn't know. Let's go here. It's not unusual for anyone to have some drugs. There are many people who smoke a mixture of heroin, ice/drugs, and marijuana. In addition, there were no doubts at the time, and the case was quickly closed, and we did not delve into this matter.”

"What about Lin Lu?" Ye Shijian handed him a cigarette, "Later, did you hear about him?"

"No more." Lao Hu took the cigarette and lit it, "I remember the last sentence that child said, he said, his mother is relieved."

The information in the dossier has been thoroughly investigated and cannot be further explored, so I will visit again.

"I'll go to the villa where the crime happened." Ye Shijian stood up and said, "Ask the neighbors to see if they can get any useful information."

"It's a waste of time to go there." Old Hu Tunyun said, "The people who live in that villa area are all rich people, and no one has a few houses. Once the murder happened, whoever lived there would have sold it long ago." People sell and move, things change and people change."

There will always be gains.Ye Shijian thought about it.
