Doomed

"How are you sure?" Wang Guo, Pang Hui and Xiao Zhang all stood by the door, not daring to take a step closer to disturb Shen Yang.

Shen Rang's pale fingers pointed to the ground, slowly drew a trajectory and said: "This series of footprints——"

Xiao Zhang opened his eyes wide, but still couldn't tell what footprints were in the messy pool of blood.

"The center of gravity is very forward, with less pressure on the edge of the shoe. She was wearing a pair of shoes that didn't fit well, and a size 40 was still too big for her. Women who are used to walking in high heels will still have a center of gravity forward if they temporarily wear flat shoes. They They are all about 1.7 meters five, and their strides should be about the same, but her strides are obviously short, and her toes are retracted, she is a woman who pays attention to outward behavior." Shen Rang's voice is very low and light, in a quiet and somewhat In the stuffy room, the three of them had to prick up their ears to listen carefully to hear clearly.

Pang Hui stared at Shen Yang, seeing a different expression on his face for the first time.It was an expression he had never seen before.Shen Yang has never said so many words at once, even when predicting bad luck, his language is concise and to the point.

"If it's true as you said, our scope will be narrowed down a lot," Wang Guo said. "Women who are 1.7 meters five, who are used to wearing high heels, should be much smaller than the scope of 'female'."

Pang Hui began to match this information with other previous information in his mind.Women, size 40 shoes.The murder weapon she used was the longest machete...

At this moment, Shen Yang suddenly squatted down and picked up something from the ground.Xiao Zhang kept poking his head to see what was in his hand.Shen Yang lifted the things in his hand and looked at them for a while, then he said: "The people in the forensics department have taken the evidence. Have you taken this thing?"

Wang Guo frowned, trying to see what was on his fingertips. "I'll call and ask."

Wang Guo made a phone call and said a few words.Shen Yang has been squatting there motionless.Pang Hui couldn't help worrying whether his abdominal injury hurt again.

Wang Guo slightly moved the phone away and said, "They have sampled the hair. They have confirmed the identities of Li Liangqing and Xia Lan." Shen Yang subconsciously went to pick out his pocket, but found nothing. He froze for a moment and looked at Xiaozhang , said: "Give me the evidence bag."

"What? Didn't Team Wang say..."

"This is not Li Liangqing and Xia Lan's hair." Shen Hang said coldly.

Xiao Zhang opened his mouth and looked at Shen Yang dumbfounded.Wang Guo was also taken aback. He touched his pocket, took out an evidence bag, and asked Xiao Zhang to pass it to Shen Yang.Xiao Zhang moved forward carefully, but Shen Yang didn't look at him, and handed a hair in his hand to Xiao Zhang.Xiaozhang carefully put the hair into a sealed bag and sealed it. After staring carefully for a long time, he couldn't figure out why.It was not short hair, but Xia Lan's hair was not short either, how did he tell?Xiao Zhang glanced at Shen Yang again.

"Li Liangqing is tall, Xia Lan doesn't dye her hair."

Xiao Zhang was startled, looked through the bag for a long while, and finally called out: "Brown, brown!"

Shen Hang stood up slowly, took one last look at the place where Li Liangqing was cut in half, then stood in the middle of the bloody messy living room, looked at the three and said, "These are my speculations."

After Xiaozhang and Wang Guo sent Shen Yang and Pang Hui back to the hospital, they sat in the police car for a while.Xiao Zhang hesitated and asked: "Wang Dui...that person...who is it?"

Looking at the darkening sky outside, Wang Guo said, "Do you still remember the inter-provincial drug-related case that shocked the whole country nine years ago?"

"Of course I remember," Xiao Zhang didn't know why Wang Guo said this, "Didn't you take over Team Wang later?"

"Yes, in the group before I took over, there was a forensic doctor with strong ability. Although the national news never reported him, and he was not included in the police establishment, but he almost broke everything in that area in those few years. case."

"—Ah?!" Xiao Zhang suddenly realized something, "He is—that forensic doctor?!"

Seeing his expression, Wang Guo was amused: "Should I praise you for being smart or slow? Can I take any ordinary person to the murder scene? I begged him to come out of the mountain."

Xiao Zhang stammered and asked, "He, why wasn't he working at the time?"

"He was an intern at that time. Don't look at him who is 27 years old this year. He has been working in the police force since he was 15 years old."

"I, I heard that he went to prison later..."

"Isn't this another acquittal?"

"It was acquitted..." Xiao Zhang whispered, "I thought he was released on parole..."

Kingdom did not speak.In fact, Shen Yang was not acquitted.He is indeed "parole" in some way, and the existence of Pang Hui guarantees his freedom.

Wang Guo slapped Xiao Zhang on the back of the head and said, "Let's go, send the evidence to the forensics department."

While starting the car, Xiaozhang muttered: "Hey, Dui Wang, how sharp his eyes are, and the hair is so small, brown and black can't be distinguished...and those footprints..."

When Pang Hui pushed Shen Lang to the ward, he found that he had fallen asleep in a wheelchair.This was the first time that Pang Hui saw Shen Rang sleeping so soundly outside.He gently pushed the door open, but he didn't find Yang Pingfei in the ward, guessing that he was going to have dinner, so he lifted the quilt by himself, padded the pillows, and then slowly pushed Shen Yang into the door.He carried Shen Yang to the bed very lightly. He had been doing this for eight years, and Shen Yang would hardly notice him.As soon as he covered Shen Lan with the quilt, he saw Yang Pingfei rushing in.Pang Hui strode forward to stop him, making Yang Pingfei's mouthful of "Brother Hui" stuffy in his mouth.

Pang Hui stopped Yang Pingfei from the door, closed the door with his backhand, and then let go of him.Yang Pingfei immediately asked: "How is it?"

"A lot of clues have been found, let the kingdom deal with it."

Yang Pingfei saw a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time showing on Pang Hui's face.He glanced at the door of the ward and said, "Is Shen Yang okay?"

"I'll give him a checkup in a while, but he's in good spirits."

Yang Pingfei saw the warm smile on Pang Hui's face again.He finally couldn't help but said, "Brother Hui, you..."

"Mr. Shen's family?" The appearance of a doctor interrupted Yang Pingfei's words.Pang Hui immediately turned around and said, "Yes."

"I'll give him a blood test." The doctor said and opened the door, then he was taken aback for a moment, "Have you ever gone out?"

Pang Hui and Yang Pingfei couldn't answer for a while.

"He was so badly injured! You still let him go out?! How did you do that?!"

Pang Hui and Yang Pingfei were scolded bloody, until Shen Yang woke up.After examining Shen Yang, the doctor told him to take medicine on time.

Yang Pingfei handed him the dinner he had bought for Shen Yang before, and saw that Shen Yang began to eat slowly with a stinky face and two dark circles under his eyes. The apprehension gradually disappeared.

Shen dryly chewed a few vegetables and said suddenly: "She is hiding her identity."

"What?" Yang Pingfei froze for a moment.Pang Hui frowned, and said, "...you mean that woman?"

"Yes, she doesn't wear her own shoes, and uses a machete that is a bit laborious for her, in order to conceal her identity."

Yang Pingfei came to his senses at this moment: "You said there was a woman among those people? But...they must all want to hide their identities."

"No," Shen Yang stopped chewing, "I think...she wants to hide her identity from the other four."

"You mean she is not in the same group as the other three?" Pang Hui said.

"Hmm..." Shen Yang pondered for a while.Pang Hui pointed to his rice and said, "Eat first."

Shen Lang ignored Pang Hui, still frowning and thinking, Pang Hui simply snatched the food box and spoon from his hand, dug a spoonful and put it in his mouth.

Shen Yang glared at him angrily for a while, and when Yang Pingfei thought he was about to explode, he said, "...I don't want to eat green peppers."

Pang Hui kept vigil for Shen Yang at night, and when Yang Pingfei said goodbye to them and left, Pang Hui just washed Shen Yang's feet with water.Yang Pingfei watched Pang Hui half kneeling there to test the water temperature for Shen Yang, and suddenly felt that Pang Hui was strange.He had never seen such a docile side of this big brother.When Pang Hui was in the army, he had always been an omnipotent tough guy in the eyes of his subordinates, and a capable general in the eyes of the officers.Yang Pingfei felt sorry for him leaving the army.In Yang Pingfei's eyes, Pang Hui has always been shining like a sculpture, like a fortress.His medals of honor can almost be hung on a wall, and Yang Pingfei has always used him as an example and goal to move forward and work hard.But at that glance, the back view of Pang Hui half-kneeling in front of Shen Yang to help him wash his feet made Yang Pingfei feel sad and unfair for no reason.

After Pang Hui left the training unit, there should be many paths to go. Why did he join this special unit and stay with Shen Yang for eight years?All his good times were wasted on Shen Yang, and Shen Yang neither promoted him nor helped him transfer to other troops to show off his talents.Yang Pingfei stood by the door outside the ward for a long time, clenched his fists tightly.He stood in the corridor of the inpatient department, not knowing where he should go for a moment.

After a while, he left the ward and walked into the night.While waiting for a taxi, he pulled a cigarette from his breast pocket.He doesn't have the habit of smoking, but he always keeps a cigarette in his pocket, because Pang Hui smoked back then.Pang Hui's addiction to cigarettes was left behind by a mission.At that time, he was secretly sent to Argentina on an underground mission. When Yang Pingfei saw him half a year later, Pang Hui had already been recuperating in a sanatorium for three months.Cravings are a byproduct of pain.

After that, Yang Pingfei often saw Pang Hui with a cigarette in his mouth, his face buried in the dense smoke.Pang Hui has always been that powerful soldier and has never changed.And Yang Pingfei also pinned a cigarette in his chest pocket from then on.Pang Hui used to laugh at him often. He obviously doesn't smoke, but he is used to bringing cigarettes with him. He must be an official in the future.But he didn't know that Yang Pingfei's cigarette was always prepared for him.

But now, Pang Hui quit smoking.

Yang Pingfei stood on the side of the road, kicking the stones under his feet.This matter has not been done since he entered junior high school.He clearly remembered that Pang Hui said to him in the smog: "I don't think I can go far this way."

At that time, Yang Pingfei asked in astonishment: "What? Why?"

Pang Hui casually raised the cigarette between his fingers, and said half-jokingly: "Soldiers with a strong will don't need this thing to numb their senses."

Yang Pingfei always remembered this sentence, and did not agree with it.But at this moment, his mood was extremely complicated.

Yang Pingfei kicked the stone hard again, and kicked the stone all the way across the road.Then a voice sounded from behind him: "Fly."

Yang Pingfei was startled, turned around quickly, and saw Pang Hui walking towards him with an unlit cigarette between his lips.

Pang Hui saw that his eyes were fixed on his cigarette, so he took it off, and smiled embarrassedly: "I still can't change it, get used to it."

Yang Pingfei was silent for a while, and did not ask Pang Hui why he came out at this time, he said: "Brother Hui, you told me before that you smoke to relieve pain."

"Yes," Pang Hui breathed a sigh of relief, and pointed in a direction casually, "Let's go."

The two walked in the direction he pointed.

"Smoking is really not a good thing to quit," Pang Hui said, "After the injury healed, I kept thinking about using it to help me."

"...Nowadays the society is under a lot of pressure, and smoking is nothing."

"Haha, yes..." Pang Hui smiled, "Being outside is not necessarily less stressful than being in the army."

"Then... why do you want to quit smoking?" Yang Pingfei spoke out almost without thinking.

Pang Hui smiled again and said: "A good soldier should not rely on external forces to escape the responsibilities and obligations he should face. In the early years, I was really scared. I don't know which mission in the army I would lose my life. That time I managed to save my life, and for the next month, I dreamed of the death of my comrades-in-arms. It was really uncomfortable. A living person died right in front of me." Pang Hui closed his eyes and remained silent. for a while.

"But Shen Yang is not your responsibility and obligation." Yang Pingfei said slowly and stubbornly.

"As long as he is still my tasker, he is my responsibility and obligation." Pang Hui's tone suddenly hardened, "Sometimes I feel that when I saved Ah Rang, I actually saved myself..."

It is not an exaggeration to say that the reason why Pang Hui left the army was a kind of post-war trauma repair.He voluntarily applied for a transfer to a lighter department.He spent a long time recalling the missions he participated in before, those comrades who died in front of him and died in the missions.He has experienced death too many times, but he didn't collapse when he saw death for the first time.That burden kept accumulating until he himself was seriously injured and nearly died.Pang Hui felt that he was not a very receptive person, but everyone in the army thought he was one of the strongest Dashan.

Then Pang Hui encountered the task of Shen Yang.As if it was a kind of fate, when Pang Hui saw Shen Yang's information, he seemed to see another self.Shen Rang experienced more than ten times more death and bad luck than ordinary people—almost the same as Pang Hui.

Pang Hui felt that it took Shen Yang eight years to heal himself, and he also healed Pang Hui.

"I smoke because I want to escape, but I don't want to escape now. How should I put it, Ah Rang needs me, I can't run away, he is a very strong person, he has always carried everything by himself, and has never flinched. I have Sometimes I thought, how can I not be as good as him. I have served for so many years, but I am not as good as a helpless forensic doctor who has never been in the army..."

Pang Hui laughed at himself, and put his hand on Yang Pingfei's shoulder: "It's time to quit."

"It's time to quit." When Pang Hui said this, Yang Pingfei seemed to see the vigorous, calm and reliable powerful soldier standing on the instructor's bench with medals of honor on his chest.He has performed two missions that cannot be counted, and each mission has given him a new layer of brilliance.Pang Hui quit smoking because of Shen Rang, and he came out of his trough because of Shen Rang.

From that valley no one sees.

"I often dream at night, dreaming that my comrades-in-arms died one by one. I have never dared to open my eyes to see them. Fly, I have been retreating, thinking that their deaths made me afraid to be a special police officer in the army. .Actually, this is just an excuse." Pang Hui squeezed Yang Pingfei's shoulders tightly, "I'm afraid of death."

Yang Pingfei never dreamed that this man with military injuries and badges of honor would say "I'm afraid of death" to him.Pang Hui was under such unspeakable pressure.It continues to this day.Yang Pingfei was silent, unable to speak out.

"Now, I think it's time," Pang Hui said, "I'm not young anymore, if I don't stand up, I won't be able to stand up."

Pang Hui seemed to be a huge lion with a leg injury. He flicked his long tail, shook his mane and stood up slowly.
