old man feeding rules

The man slowly climbed the stairs of the old residential building with exhausted steps. Various sundries were placed in the aisle against the regulations. Every step should be careful to avoid obstacles on the ground, so as not to step on the objects and fall to the ground. Own.

The dim sensor light flickered and made a piercing sound of electric current. Finally, its lifespan came to an end, and it went out when the man stepped on the last step.

The noise stopped abruptly, and what followed was darkness that could not be seen.

His footsteps paused, and he raised his eyes to see the figure who appeared on the upper platform at an unknown time, without any unexpected panic, he just calmly took out the key and tapped on his door.

"Want to come in and talk?"

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience." The man's voice was low and sweet, very sweet.

The man smiled, "That's right, I forgot, you should have come here to seduce me, why should I be polite to you?"

As he spoke, he walked up the stairs slowly, and sat beside the man, with their backs against the high window where the moonlight was pouring, staring at the long and narrow shadow reflected on the ground.

"You have a shadow and you are human, so what are you doing looking for me?"

"After so many years in this business, do you still believe in ghosts and gods?"

"You don't have to believe it, but you must be in awe. I didn't believe it in the past, and I scoffed at any religion or theories about gods and ghosts until I met you."

"I?"

"That's right." The man nodded, "After meeting you—Jiang Xun—I began to feel that the dead may really have souls wandering around the world, guarding the people they cared about during their lifetime in the dark, and I even felt that Every time you hover on the edge of life and death, countless hands will stretch out from the abyss and push you back to the world. Jiang Xun, I believe that there are ghosts in the world, but the fear of ghosts and gods is not enough for people's hearts."

Jiang Xun glanced at him sideways, savoring the meaning of his words, "Why do you do such a thing? After suspecting you, I thought about it for a long time, and I still couldn't figure out why that nail was you, but I thought carefully about all related cases. , all the contradictions are concentrated on you, even if I want to defend you, I am powerless. Tell me, why, rest in peace?"

The clouds and mists faded away, and the moonlight sprinkled on the man, revealing a face that was much thinner than a few months ago.

"Tell me first, how did you suspect me." After finishing speaking, he suddenly remembered something, "You have met Qin Shu."

"Even without him, I would have investigated you." Jiang Xun sighed, "I have suspected everyone around me."

"It just so happens that I'm the one with the most distant relationship and the least trustworthy."

"On the contrary, the first thing I suspect is the people closest to me."

When he figured this out, Jiang Xun suddenly understood Qin Shu's thoughts when he doubted him.

"During the autopsy of the Oscar poisoning case, you already hinted at my identity as the murderer, but I kept focusing on the case itself and misunderstood your prompt... Actually, you reminded me that although the deceased died of drug poisoning, he had closed breathing I should have figured out that Lan Shan was not poisoned in Oscar, but in the ambulance."

"So have you found the murderer now?"

"There is a suspect, the policeman who accompanied the deceased to the hospital in an ambulance. His name is Zhen Shaoyun. I suspected that he was involved in the murder of Lan Shan and another suspect in the case. Later, it was discovered that he was not the murderer."

"why?"

"Because of Lao Wu, you should have heard that he is an old comrade-in-arms of my master Lao Liang," Jiang Xun said, "In order to protect the suspect in that case, he colluded with the other party and staged a scene, and successfully sent him to prison. After entering the hospital, when Zhen Shaoyun and I were under suspicion, he took the initiative to stand up and admit that he wanted to kill the suspect."

An Xi blinked her eyes, not understanding what he said.

"I didn't understand at first. I felt that he was trying to make things difficult for me. It was purely because he was tired of living a good life and wanted to be a monster. Then I realized that he actually wanted to help Luo Xinhao and Zhen Shaoyun, and he also wanted to help me. .”

"You believe him like that?"

"I doubted it, but it turns out that I was worrying too much. Wu Guangping is one of the few people in the world who really wants to make that old case known to the world. He knows things that I don't know but he can't tell me directly. He can only He used his own way to protect me, but I have never been aware of it, and I am living up to his kindness, and I am ashamed to say it.”

Jiang Xun played with the phone in his hand, and the screen turned on from time to time, illuminating his pale face.

"It's already 2021, and there is always a way to find clues if you want to check anything. No matter the living or the dead, it is impossible to completely disappear in this world. I asked someone to check the surveillance cameras of Oscar and the surrounding shops that day, and took pictures of that day. He looks like a doctor on the car, although he can't see his face clearly with a mask on, but acquaintances can still recognize him."

"Oh? You still know this person?"

"I don't really know him, but people who have slept with him will definitely not mistake him. That person is Yin Gu, right?"

An Xi was probably still smiling, the light was dim, and his expression was hidden in the dark, making it hard to see clearly.

"I didn't mean to pry into other people's privacy. I found out by accident. I heard that he was a junior in your university?"

"Yeah, a very outstanding young man, he is dazzling in everything he does, and all his decisions are correct..."

"Is it really correct?" Jiang Xun asked.

An Xi didn't think about it, "Really, in my opinion, everything he did was right."

This kind of psychological Jiang Xun really disagrees, but he is not good at expressing personal opinions on other people's feelings. He just wants to hear what shocking words he can say next.

But he didn't wait for the expected confession from the deeply emotional person, and then he remembered that the group with special sexual orientation is a minority after all. After all, most people still have to go the normal way of getting married, starting a business, marrying wives and having children. Few of the young people can really love each other. Blooming and bearing fruit, as you grow older, or voluntarily or forcedly, you will always bury some things hidden in your heart forever in the tomb built by time.

Jiang Xun didn't ask, and he knew he shouldn't ask, so he avoided the topic, "Let's talk about Chen Dongsheng's case."

"All cases have a chain effect, as long as one has clues, then all the truth will surface, and all the mysteries will have a reasonable explanation. That's right, I killed him." Although he admitted However, An Xi did not want to truthfully explain the details of the crime he committed, and said coldly: "But I will not plead guilty until the evidence is put in front of me."

"Isn't it possible to obtain evidence at any time? Chen Dongsheng's body is unclaimed, and it is still in the provincial department. He can conduct three or four autopsies at any time to test whether there is any in his body..." Jiang Xun felt deeply embarrassed at this point. Open your mouth, speechless.

"Is there anything?" An Xi was still asking.

He took a deep breath, "...acyldiethylamide, a strong hallucinogenic drug. Although I haven't had the opportunity to verify it myself, this substance appeared on another controversial piece of evidence, and I reasonably doubt it Chen Dongsheng is in the city bureau..."

"But on the day of the incident, everyone thought he had fled, didn't they? Team Zhou led the whole team out to search around the city bureau with the anti-drug team. In the end, Chen Dongsheng and Chen Dongsheng were the only two people who stayed in the bureau. The corpse is in the old campus, and that person is you, if I were Zhou Mi or Gaoju, I would first suspect you, the first person who shouldn't be there."

An Xi's words were very blunt, as if they had trampled on their common cause for so many years, making Jiang Xun regretful and at the same time he couldn't help asking himself, whether he was acting on the spot from the beginning, or whether people's hearts had already quietly faded before he knew it. Has there been a silent change?

He sighed, "Did you do it on purpose?"

"Maybe." Anxi replied blankly, "I'm taking revenge on you. Qin Shu has an unclear relationship with Chen Dongsheng. Even if he knows that he is suspected of murder, he must protect him from the city bureau. This is what the police should do. behavior?"

"I found out that his behavior was abnormal but did not report it. Instead, he poisoned the suspect to cause hallucinations, resulting in the death of the suspect. Is this what the police should do!"

This reprimand almost exhausted all his strength, Jiang Xun pressed his chest and panted heavily, his eyes dimmed, An Xi's eyes softened a little, he took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack and handed it to him, "It's unopened, drink it."

"No, thank you."

An Xi smiled wryly and unscrewed the bottle cap, raised her head and took a sip without forcing him.

"In fact, there is no evidence to support your speculation. The reason why you came to test me is because you can't prove it in your current situation and state. You come to ask me, you just want to get the opposite answer from me, right?"

Jiang Xun didn't answer, and after the discomfort eased, he stared at the darkness in front of him in a daze.

"There has never been a perfect crime in this world. As long as there is action, it will leave traces. Sooner or later, you will clear your stigma and find out all the truth, so my current struggle is nothing more than a battle between trapped animals. It's meaningless... I think, I just want to test you one last time."

"Test me?"

"Actually, I lied, but I didn't lie to you, but to myself. In fact, I didn't unconditionally believe that all his choices, decisions, and ideas were correct. I believe that few people in this world can truly Do, at least as far as you are concerned, I have always been skeptical."

An Xi sighed, as if he didn't really want to talk about his crimes positively. After struggling for a while, he asked hopelessly, "Can I take all this as my doing?"

"The meaning of the existence of the law is to punish evil, not to deceive oneself and others. You know what kind of person I am. If only one of us can leave here today, then all I will do until the last moment is to stop you."

An Xi stared deeply at Jiang Xun, and when Jiang Xun met his eyes, it was as if he was facing a bottomless abyss, and he might fall into the darkness and be smashed to pieces at any time.

He saw An Xi move, and felt that the other party was about to strike first, and took a step back sensitively, but the other party just put his hand into his trouser pocket, took out the cigarette case, bit one and held it in his mouth, vaguely He said, "I can't harm you, I promise to live in the river."

When he mentioned this name without any precautions, Jiang Zhen shook his hand and almost threw the cigarette case he had just brought back on the ground.

He never expected that the name Jiang Zhu would suddenly come out of An Xi's mouth. After learning the truth about the Jiang brothers, the elder brother who died was pushed to the altar in his heart and became an existence that could never be surpassed. , How could such a holy person get involved with the murderer?

"You must be thinking, how can I be worthy of calling his name, how worthy of calling him, how dare I, in your eyes, he is a martyr who died for justice and deserves to be remembered forever, but for me, He will always be the good brother who got into trouble with me, wrote inspections and was punished together. You are his brother's lover. After he dies, I will take care of his brother and I can't treat you badly. You were wronged."

These words aroused Jiang Xun's vigilance, "What do you mean..."

Before he finished speaking, dizziness struck, his eyes were spinning, he uncontrollably tilted his body, leaned on the handrail of the stairs, and tried his best to open his eyes to see the man in front of him clearly.

Smoke, it's smoke!

But that smoke is clearly...

An Xi reluctantly hooked the corner of her mouth towards him, and there was too much helplessness in that smile.

"I'm sorry, I still have things to do, Vice President Jiang, please forgive me."
