On the road in the middle of the night, it was unusually quiet.Only occasionally one or two large trucks on their way passed by, and the sound of their horns was loud and piercing.The headlights of the car swept across here, and then ruthlessly turned elsewhere.

The provincial road to Cheung Chau is not wide, only this place has opened up an open space for a sign.After getting out of the car, Jiang Ge was pushed by the middle-aged man knocking on the car window, and he staggered two steps forward before he could clearly see the words written on the sign, Yangjiazhai Bridge.

A few meters ahead is a big river, mixed with bottomless darkness, I don't know what's going on below.

He was still wearing the takeaway uniform during the day, the temperature dropped in the mountains at night, and the night wind blowing made him shiver.Jiang Ge thought that if a small life was lost here today, it would be quite convenient to find the corpse wearing this dress.

Xiaohua cried "Brother Jiang Ge" while crying.

Jiang Ge forced a comforting smile and said, "It's all right, don't be afraid."

Old Xiao still looked at him unkindly, and didn't ask or say anything.

The middle-aged man who was escorting him yelled something into the truck in Changzhou dialect, and then a black and thin young man jumped down from the truck, holding a bundle of thin nylon ropes in his hand, and gave Jiang Ge a hand without saying a word. tied up.

Jiang Ge didn't resist either-he didn't have the room to resist.

"One month," Old Xiao asked sullenly, "You've been with us for so long, what do you want to do?"

"I didn't want to do anything," Jiang Ge tried his best not to tremble. He couldn't tell whether he was cold or afraid. The trembling made him feel that his upper and lower molars were cracking. "I'm just a A reporter, not a policeman..."

Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly kicked behind by a huge force, and his hands couldn't support him, so he threw himself face down on the ground.After falling to the ground, the pain was transmitted to the nerves belatedly, and Jiang Ge shrank into a ball in pain.

"No!" Xiao Hua cried, "Please don't..."

"It's not the truth when you hear it," the middle-aged man who kicked him said impatiently, "The child is too noisy, you take her back to the car."

The black and thin young man who came over with the rope grabbed Xiao Hua and brought her back to the truck.

Compared with the high-intelligence killers who often appear in suspense novels who plan crimes carefully, there is actually a kind of murderer that is more terrifying.They have faces similar to those of ordinary people passing by on the street. They may be talkative or taciturn. They don’t have as many psychological activities before killing as described in novels, and they don’t seem to be affected by any aspect of morality or law. hesitate.

Jiang Ge thought of the two murderers in "The Blind Well". Once a hammer goes down, killing a person is as simple as cutting melons and vegetables, but now he himself is the melon and the vegetable.

He gritted his teeth and struggled to get up from the ground. Fortunately, he didn't stick his head on the concrete road, but fell into the grass on the side of the road, so his face was covered with dirt and he was very embarrassed. "Believe it or not, I'm really just a reporter."

"Then you plan to expose what we did?" Old Xiao asked.

"I won't..." Of course, life is the most important thing at this time, Jiang Ge swallowed half of what Jiang Ge said, "I don't know what you are doing, as long as you let me go, I promise you will never Speak out."

Jiang Ge said, "I'm not a policeman, and you haven't committed any major crimes."

To be careful, it is indeed the case.These children were all sent out voluntarily by their parents.They feel that they can make more money in a big city than farming in their hometown for a year, so why not do it?This kind of crime is still a little less serious than killing people for money.

Old Xiao looked at him coldly, then turned his head and said something to the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man replied.

Jiang Ge's eyes faltered in front of them for a while. Although he couldn't understand Changzhou's language, he judged from his tone that his words should have played a little role. Maybe they were not so vicious, so he said: "How about you I can just throw it here, let me fend for myself..."

"Have you brought any money?" the middle-aged man interrupted him and asked.

"I brought it," Jiang Ge said, "it's in my car. There are about [-] cash in it."

Old Xiao gestured to the middle-aged man and asked him to go to Jiang Ge's car for inspection.Soon the middle-aged man came back, holding Jiang Ge's mobile phone and backpack, clattered all his things on the ground, then picked out the wallet from it, and counted the cash in it.

"It's all for you," Jiang said, feeling his breath come short.

As soon as he finished speaking, his mobile phone in the middle-aged man's hand suddenly rang.There was nothing good about that broken cell phone, except that it was loud, and the ringtone traveled far in the open space.

It's Xue Yiyang!

Jiang Ge's eyes lit up immediately, as if there was hope suddenly in a desperate situation, Lao Xiao glanced at his expression, reached out and snatched the phone, and hung up the call.

"Who else knows you are here?" Lao Xiao suddenly became nervous.

They have been in Dingchuan for almost a month, and they haven't made much money. Now this business is getting more and more difficult. A group of children all want to eat with their mouths open, and they have to pay back.Not long ago, the fellow villagers discussed to find another way out and send all the children from the same village back.

A fellow villager said that it is still a waste of money for women to make money, and they buy it as soon as they change hands, and the money comes quickly.Just a while ago, the bachelor old Zhao from the neighboring village wanted to buy a wife, so he turned around in Dingchuan city, and no one would find them.

They just talked about it that day, and they were thinking about when to do it. Within two days, a woman came to the door by herself, and they tied her up.

However, there are too many people in Dingchuan, and it is not easy to hide people. Selling people is no better than begging for money, and the chances of being targeted by the police are higher, so I should hurry back to Changzhou Insurance.

This matter had been planned long ago, but when Jiang Ge got the news suddenly, he thought it was a temporary idea.

"Nobody knows," Ginger said.

"Then why does this person call you in the middle of the night without sleeping?" Old Xiao asked.

"He..." Jiang Ge stepped back subconsciously, and the sign of the Yangjiazhai Bridge was next to him. "He only knows that I am outside, and he doesn't know what I am doing."

"How do you prove it?" Lao Xiao forced two steps forward, and Jiang Ge stepped back a little.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense," the middle-aged man said impatiently to Lao Xiao, "We have to rush back at night, and it's over if we beat him to death with a stick."

Throwing the corpse into the mountain, even his soul couldn't escape.

Time passed by, and Jiang Ge's back was covered in cold sweat.

He vaguely noticed what the middle-aged man said.

Old Xiao seemed to have lost his patience, grabbed Jiang Ge, and walked to the bridge in a few steps.

The fence of the bridge is made of stone, only about 1.3 meters high. Lao Xiao pressed his head on it, and Jiang Ge could feel the fine sand rubbing against his cheeks, and the chill spread to his brain through the attached skin er.

"Can you swim?"

Ginger said, "No."

"That's fine."

After Lao Xiao finished speaking, he pushed him down hard!

The middle-aged man came over and took a few glances into the darkness, but he couldn't see anything clearly, except for the sound of falling into the water.

"What if you don't die?" he asked.

Old Xiao looked at the cell phone that was still ringing in his hand, and it was the person named "Xue Yiyang" who was calling. He also threw Jiang Ge's cell phone into the river and said, "I'm going to die."

Jiang Ge's cell phone was disconnected.

It was twilight, Xue Yiyang was sitting in the car, sleepless and anxious all night made him feel his temples throbbing.

The police station could not start the search on the grounds that Jiang Ge was an adult male and had only lost contact for about three hours, so they could only ask Xue Yiyang to go to the police station to file first.

He leaned on the steering wheel and closed his sore eyes, surrounded by a sense of powerlessness from the bottom of his heart.

It was like at that time he had just returned to city b from out of town.

Before he left, he had a big fight with Jiang Ge. Jiang Ge suspected that he had something to do with Pei Ying, and he felt that Jiang Ge was making trouble for no reason.He was about to go on a business trip for the publication of the novel - at that time, in order to quickly reach the goal of 100 million, he quit his job in a commercial company and concentrated on taking care of the novel.

The publishing house is not optimistic about his criminal investigation novel, because it does not match the mainstream of popular and best-selling youth literature, so the printing volume has to be reduced.He's negotiated in the past, and it's been a tough fight.

It happened to be the signing of his first novel that day, and Jiang Ge ran out of school to watch his signing after going through all kinds of hardships, but he happened to see Pei Ying beside him.

Standing beside him greeted and sent off, as if a hostess.

"That's not the book she's in charge of. What's she doing here?" Jiang Ge asked him.

"She just came to help as a friend." Xue Yiyang was tired all day and had to catch a plane at night, and he didn't even have the thought of talking, "Don't make trouble."

"Stop making trouble?" Jiang Ge said, "You think I'm making trouble?!"

Xue Yiyang stood up and wanted to hug him, but Jiang Ge pushed him away, Xue Yiyang frowned and asked, "What do you want?"

"What do I want?" Jiang Ge felt grievances in his heart, and his words were rushed, "Do you not want to meet my father's requirements at all, just want to become famous and start a family? You are a great-sounding writer!"

"Then what do you want me to do?!" Xue Yiyang asked back, "Can I get 100 million by staying in this room? Go to that crappy company every day to settle accounts and get 100 million?!"

This is the first time that Xue Yiyang has yelled at Jiang Ge so loudly since they have been together for so long.

"Then you admitted it, right?" Jiang Ge said, tears fell down and he wiped them carelessly, "Then be your great writer, I can't afford it!"

Jiang Ge slammed the door and left.

When Xue Yiyang came back from other places, he couldn't find Jiang Ge anymore.

The school dropped out, and the contact information was changed. He went to Jiang Ge's house, and the beautiful duplex building was empty, and even Jiang's father was missing.

Later, he found out that Papa Jiang’s company was shut down because he was suspected of bribing officials in contracting government projects, and Papa Jiang was also imprisoned. He couldn’t get visitation rights, so he could only find out from other sources that Papa Jiang had arranged for Jiang Ge to go abroad for asylum, but Ginger doesn't seem to be going.

Jiang Ge seemed to have disappeared—or it was intentional, so that he could never find him again.

Regret and powerlessness have been deeply rooted in his heart. In the past few years, he once thought that he had accepted the reality that he would never find Jiang Ge again in this life, until he met him again.

Time has blurred a lot of things, so have their disputes, and so have their feelings.

However, at this moment, that sense of powerlessness was brought out from the depths of his heart again, and his whole heart was bloodied.
