No.

"Why did you adopt me?" Qi Chu's voice trembled a little. "You think I'm pitiful? You think I'm like your daughter? Then why can't you give your compassion to Ah Qing and the others!"

He finally understood Qi Chu's sorrow, but he didn't know how to respond.He was walking alone in the black world. During the journey, he found Qi Chu who was touched by the darkness. However, his blood-stained hands could not even save himself, let alone this child?

Qi Chu looked at him calmly, expressionless: "We escaped from the orphanage. Nurse Feng often used violence against us, and took turns torturing a child every night. She told us that we were superfluous things in this society. , our existence is unfair to her dead child. But the dean did not stop her, the dean told us not to tell this matter, otherwise we will have no chance to have parents. And we have no chance to talk to other dormitories I didn’t know what it was like outside the orphanage. After escaping, we had to run in the direction farthest from the orphanage. It rained that night, and the three of us had a fever the next day. We had nowhere to go, nor Know what to do. A homeless uncle found us and helped us get medicine and food. Later, he also gave us his place to live and told us that he has a place to go, so don’t worry. Although the uncle looks crazy Yes, but nice people."

"Achu, I'm sorry."

"It doesn't make sense like that, and it doesn't make any sense to say it. Chang Ming, no matter what happened, I choose to believe you, not because I look ignorant."

"Ah Chu, do you hate me?"

"No more hate." Soon there will be no more hate.

"I also believe in you, no matter what you will do in the future." Zhong Changming walked towards Qi Chu, he thought that Qi Chu would refuse his hug, but Qi Chu didn't.If Qi Chu raises the sharp blade of revenge in the next second, he will accept it; if Qi Chu wants to slowly torture him with guilt, he will wait to die.It may be a good thing to disappear quietly into the dark world.

Qi Chu's face floated in front of Qi Chu's eyes, and he nodded to him. [I hope I'm doing it right. ]he thinks. "I'm hungry, can I start cooking?" he asked. "It's 07:30 now."

The author has something to say:

tenth night

Three in the morning.

Chang Hao glanced at the alarm clock next to the bed, and realized that it was already late, but he hadn't fallen asleep.The damn case kept running through his mind as he tossed and turned in bed.After inquiring about Qi Chu, he went to the cafe that Qi Chu mentioned. There was indeed no one in seat [-] that day, and the waiter in the cafe also said that he did see a young man wandering outside the window for a while.Where is the problem? Where is Hu Yafeng now?

"What the hell is going on!" he yelled out. "The whole fucking world is not normal, all the guys who cause trouble for the police should turn themselves in or die!"

At this time, the mobile phone rang in the living room, but it was not his ringtone.

What was it, and how did it ring in his house?And, why does it sound familiar?

His face suddenly changed.Damn it!This is Hu Yafeng's ringtone!He got up and jumped out of bed and rushed into the living room quickly, looking around.The phone was still ringing, stimulating his nerves and sending him a dangerous signal.

He calmed down, stood in place and followed the direction of the sound.Appears to be from his coat pocket.Chang Hao walked over and took out his phone.It was indeed Hu Yafeng's cell phone, and he recognized it.Cold sweat broke out on his body, and his hands were shaking so much that he couldn't press the answer button.At this point the phone hung up.

He was about to dial to ask who the other party was, when the phone rang again, this time it was a text message:

"At [-] o'clock, the scene of the crime in the old town, come alone. You know what I'm talking about."

He immediately sent a text message: "Who are you? Where is Hu Yafeng?"

He waited for a while without reply.So he called this number, but there was only a polite and calm female voice on the other end: "I'm sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off..."

He remembered, who had touched his coat. ． ． ． ． ．Only Qi Chu!

Chang Hao's heart was extremely restless. From the moment he received the text message, he was restless and could no longer fall asleep.Where is Hu Yafeng now, was he killed?Who the hell is on the phone?

It was [-]:[-], and he glanced at his watch again.

No, he must go now.He couldn't sit still anymore, he was already prepared for the worst, it didn't matter if he was a minute early or a minute late.He quietly loaded his pistol, grabbed his coat and stood up.

"Chang Dui, you don't want to take the lead in leaving your post, do you?" the colleague opposite asked in a low voice.

"If there is something urgent, just pretend you didn't see it."

He drove the car to the vicinity of the crime scene eight years ago, parked the car there, and found that it was only [-]:[-].

[Am I being too hasty? ] he asked looking at himself in the rearview mirror.Think about the good side, Hu Yafeng should still be alive, that kid is a policeman.

Winter is approaching, and the wind is bitterly cold with malice.Chang Hao put on his coat and got out of the car, and walked into the alley.For eight years, this place has been waiting for demolition. No one passed by in the alleys, and it was full of sundries and rubbish.Probably because of the murder, the nearby residents were almost evacuated, the air was filled with the turbid and dull smell of dust, and the smell of blood seemed to linger in the air all the time.I don't know if this is his illusion, even the blood on the ground has not been washed by the rain.

The person who asked him to come here should not have arrived yet, so he planned to wait for a while.

At this time, footsteps came from far and near, and he became nervous, reached into his arms, and touched the handle of the gun.

"Officer, it's really early." There was only a voice in the alley, but there was no one in sight.

"Who are you?" Chang Hao looked around.

"Please take your hands off the gun, I think it makes the conversation easier."

"Okay, you come out of the alley now."

The boy came out. "I declare in advance that I don't have any tools that can kill people." He raised his hands.

Qi Chu!He knew there was something wrong with this kid! "You stuffed Hu Yafeng's phone into my pocket, right? What did you do to him? Is that policeman still alive?"

"Please don't ask so many questions, I won't be able to answer them for a while." Qi Chu was still very calm.Chang Hao was even more suspicious of him now.

"What's your purpose for asking me to come here?"

"Tell you the truth."

"I know the murderer is your adoptive father Zhong Changming, what are you going to tell me?"

"Start from the beginning. I hope you can tell me what Zhong Changming's motivation is, and help me fill in the gap."

"You still have those kids who snatched something from a girl. The girl was probably frightened. She ran out of the alley in a hurry and didn't notice the oncoming truck. The driver of the truck didn't have time to brake, so the girl was killed. Killed."

"That girl's name is Zhong Ningning." Qi Chu looked gloomy. "It didn't occur to us at the time that we would kill her indirectly."

Chang Hao suddenly remembered something. "Then where is your nurse? Where is another child named Qi Qi now?"

"They're all still in the orphanage."

"Feng Yulan is missing. Qi Qi is not in the orphanage either."

"So now I want you to listen to me, officer. Nine years ago, our nurse resigned, and then a new nurse came in, you know, her name is Feng. In addition to being amiable on the surface, she was full of twists and turns." Hate. She thinks we, the extras in society, rob her children of their chances of survival. Whenever she tortures us at night, she kicks and beats us and talks about how well-behaved her children are Cute, how kind and innocent, every time she talks about this, she will be even more crazy, and threaten to kill us if we tell us about the beating. She can do it, no doubt. One day The chief said that she would give us a physical examination. She saw the scars on Ah Qing's body and asked if Ah Qing had been beaten by the nurse. Ah Qing told what the nurse Feng had done. We thought we were saved, but the dean went out for half an hour Then she came back and told us that if we talked about being beaten, we would never have a chance to have parents again. She didn’t expect us to say no.”

"Did the director of the orphanage threaten you?"

"Not just threats. I still remember what she said, do you want to know?"

Looking at the smile on Qi Chu's face, Chang Hao felt very scary.

"The dean said that we extra people shouldn't trouble her. After that, the abuse became worse than ever. In winter we had to take turns fetching water from the well in the backyard, and we were not allowed to wear gloves, so when we came back, our hands Will freeze on the handle of the iron bucket. Every night, a companion will be treated 'specially' and come in turn. One morning I went to fetch water by myself and almost fell into the well. I grabbed the pulley at the mouth of the well Hanging there until my companions found me at noon, when my hands were already frozen on it. No one would understand that kind of fear, including you. I think nurse Feng must have thought it best for me to die that day, otherwise she would regret it of."

"What do you mean?"

"Officer, you should be able to figure it out."

The terrible thought hit Chang Hao like lightning and thunder.

"Please don't impose your imagination on the dead. Except for me, everyone else is innocent. The night we escaped, it was Aqi's turn. Guard Feng was very ruthless. Aqi couldn't help crying, so nurse Feng Tape her mouth and hang her up. After a while, Aqi didn't move.
