born criminal

After the guests left that night, Yangzhou was dragged by the idle Chen Jian to drink a few more glasses of wine, and when he opened his eyes the next morning, he was still a little tipsy.

He was half asleep and half awake, and wanted to continue to sleep, when he heard a slight sound of closing the door in the corridor, Yang Zhou blinked and sat up suddenly from the bed.

He ran to the back of the door with bare feet, lightly put on the knob, and with a little force—then a piercing "squeak" exploded in his ear.

Yangzhou's temples twitched, and he cursed this dilapidated antique door in his heart.

Chen Jian had already reached the stairs at this time, turned his head to look at the movement after hearing the movement, and then turned back.

Yang Zhou obviously chased him hastily, before he could button up his pajamas, revealing a piece of shiny and delicate skin under his collarbone.His hair is also disheveled, with a few strands curled up restlessly, without the usual coldness, but rather naughty.

The morning light was still dim at this hour.Chen Jian stopped in front of Yangzhou, leaned on the wall with one hand, and smiled at him.There was a bit of gentleness in his smile, and the drowsy fog was instantly cleared away. "Morning." Chen Jian said.

Yangzhou originally planned to follow him secretly, but he didn't expect to be caught again.Repeated failures made him a little annoyed, and he asked straightforwardly: "I've never seen you wake up so early, what's the matter?"

He thought he would be put off by some inexplicable excuses again, but Chen Jianyin smiled and told him solemnly: "I'll go to the police station to check, Lily hasn't been found all night."

Yang Zhou was startled, and subconsciously asked, "Do you want me to go with you?"

"No need, it shouldn't be a big deal, but the child's parents are more anxious." Chen Jian's eyes fell on Yang Zhou's slender fair neck, he coughed suddenly, helped Yang Zhou gather his collar, and his fingertips seemed to be empty. It brushed against his collarbone, which made Yang Zhou tremble, "The winter here is very cold, wear more."

After Chen Jian finished speaking, he left, leaving Yang Zhou in a daze for a few seconds.He was stunned to find that he didn't feel disgusted by Chen Jian's rudeness, except for the strange discomfort.

How to describe that subtle feeling?Yang Zhou looked down at the old carpet.A little bit of wool had come off, and now it was caught between his toes, just like before, a little itchy, a little prickly.

Regardless of whether Chen Jian's words were true or not, Yang Zhou subconsciously believed him and gave up his plan to follow up.As soon as Chen Jian reminded him, he suddenly felt a little chill, and he lay down back under the covers without anything to do.

The few years in the police academy had allowed Yangzhou to train a strict biological clock, but after only a month or so at the base, he unknowingly developed lazy bones.

After lying down for a while, returning to the cage and feeling that he didn't patronize him, Yangzhou sat up, turned on his mobile phone to check the news, and looked at the situation "outside". The headline in the Daily Mail was James Luther again.The United States deserves to be the country that loves to make troubles the most. One of the parties disclosed to the media yesterday afternoon that they will propose a bill to Congress requesting that James Luther, the pedophile and serial killer, be exiled to Mars.

The punishment of exile to other planets was only proposed by jurists in recent years, and it has never been implemented. In the name of punishing heinous serial killers, the United States may be the first country to eat crabs.

Politicians always say that the punishment of human beings will become more and more civilized, but there may not be the only answer to which is more cruel, whether to die happily or to fend for yourself on a strange planet.

Yangzhou didn't sympathize with James Luther, what he sympathized with was something bigger and more ethereal.

Suddenly, a star-shaped icon flickered in the upper right corner of the phone. It was Stars, the social software with the most users in the world today.

Yang Zhou clicked on the message, and the opposite was Lu Zhao, smiling listlessly, asking him out for dinner.

The face on the opposite side of the screen was very haggard, his beard looked like he hadn't shaved for a few days, his eyeballs were bloodshot, and Yang Zhou almost didn't recognize him.

"I'm not in New York right now." Yang Zhou said, "It'll be a while. How are you? You look like you haven't slept for a few days."

"I haven't slept for a few days." Lu Zhao said eagerly and anxiously: "There is something that is driving me crazy, I want to ask you what to do, where are you, if not far away, I will find you ..." Lu Zhao's voice paused, then he suddenly called out as if he had seen a ghost, and asked tremblingly, "Are you at the base?"

There is a flashing red dot behind Yangzhou's name, and all IP addresses connected from the base will be specially marked. This is the regulation of the "Segregation Act" to prevent born criminals from using the anonymity of the Internet to deceive ordinary people, or What a storm.

As a policeman, Lu Zhao couldn't justify being so frightened.Yangzhou asked strangely: "I'm in Base No. [-], what's wrong?"

"Base No. [-]!" Lu Zhao's face turned pale, his eyes showed strange fear, and he asked softly with trembling lips, "Is there a little girl missing these two days?"

Yangzhou only felt that the bitter cold outside turned into a sharp ice pick, which drilled from the soles of his feet all the way to the top of his head.He yelled, his words sharp: "What do you mean?"

Lu Zhao even dodged backwards, as if he was afraid that Yang Zhou would punch him.But the confusion and anxiety on his face were quickly replaced by a pathetic firmness, and he said seriously: "Yangzhou, James Luther is not serial killer K, I suspect that serial killer K is in base one, please don't interrupt Listen to me—" Lu Zhao took a deep breath and sped up his speech: "I was originally from the technical department of the New York Police Department, and I was in charge of monitoring and monitoring. Doing interviews and investigations. Later, the superiors somehow identified the suspect as James Luther, and we immediately arrested him. The process was very smooth, as if someone had put him there waiting for us to catch him. Back to the original After I got the post, I became suspicious and adjusted the monitoring records of the director's office-this new trash didn't like me, and kept messing with me, so I installed a monitor, trying to catch his pigtails, of course it was Digression—anyway, I heard your UNPO Deputy Director Pound talking to him, and only then did I know that James Luther was a scapegoat they temporarily picked up from prison, and they did this to cover up a truth..."

Lu Zhao reached the end of his breath, stopped for a while, and Yang Zhou finished for him: "In order to cover up the fact that serial killer K is not a born criminal at all."

Lu Zhao showed a wry smile. "Their plan at the time was to publicly blame that unlucky James Luther. Anyway, he is also a murderer, and secretly sent people to chase the real K. That K was extremely capable of anti-reconnaissance. I suspect that he might have been a soldier before. Anyway, two days later, Pang De talked with that trash again, saying that K fled to the vicinity of Base No. [-]. Originally, the Chinese police wanted to provide assistance, but UNPO declined and shot and killed K himself. I always feel that this is not the case Simple, I asked a classmate who worked at UNPO to help me find out about it. Later he told me that the few people involved in the operation refused to say anything.”

Yangzhou's fingers were firmly on the bedside table, and with a crisp "click", he actually broke off a piece of wood.

"This matter has always made me uncomfortable. The White Pigeon faction is trying to hide the truth, and I don't believe the Rose faction will know nothing." Lu Zhao frowned: "I always suspected that K hid in the No. [-] base. I was bold last night Hacked into the United Nations system, and found information on everyone who was recently allowed to enter Base One—but I didn’t see you, and I think this person, Kyle Green, is very suspicious.”

Yangzhou tapped lightly, and a projection appeared in the midair. The man looked plain, if it wasn't for a scar across his forehead, he wouldn't be looked at more if he was thrown into the crowd.

"I always thought that I was too suspicious and went crazy. I couldn't produce any evidence, and I was afraid that I would get burned by publishing this news rashly. This matter has tortured me for many days, and I wanted to talk to you a long time ago." Lu Zhaozheng secretly ashamed Seeing that Yang Zhou seemed to have lost his soul, a crazy and terrifying conjecture suddenly surged in his heart: "You just..."

"Let's talk about it later." Yang Zhou jumped up and cut off the chat signal.He hurriedly changed his clothes and ran quickly to the stairs.

Jeffrey's words that day suddenly echoed in his ears. He was obviously a worried character, but that time he said, "We will be able to make a comeback in a short time." Where did the confidence come from?

The more Yangzhou wandered off, the colder he became, until he was frozen into a piece of ice, and a ball of anger was wrapped inside.

Those at the top of the Rose faction must have known their opponent's tricks from the start.Why don't they expose it?What are they waiting for?Wait for the blood of a few little girls to ferment the incident, and then have a shocking reversal, embellishing their glorious victory?

Did K sneak in, or was he sent in?

Although Yang Zhou never trusted those people, but this time, he completely destroyed his only expectation.

What is one or two lives, and what is he?It's just an insignificant pawn on an invisible chessboard.

The more angry Yang Zhou felt in pain, the calmer he appeared on the surface.He took off his coat from the hanger at the door and was about to leave the villa.At this time, Andrew jumped out from nowhere, stopped in front of Yang Zhou, and asked in a serious tone: "Mr. Yang, where are you going?"

Yang Zhou didn't have the time to explain to him, so he pushed lightly, but the other party didn't move at all.

Andrew seemed to be in a difficult situation, and he didn't have much confidence in his words: "Mr. Yang, I suggest you stay at home..." Two sharp eyes flashed in Yang Zhou's eyes, as sharp as a drawn sword.Andrew is not a human being and cannot feel fear, so he took a step back for some reason.

Yang Zhou just stared at him like that, and asked slowly and emphatically, "You know, don't you?"

"I..." Andrew's face twisted a little, it was obviously guilt, he whispered: "I also think this is wrong, but I must obey Mr. Jeffrey's order. He said that if we tell them the news, we will be exposed gone."

"We've been exposed a long time ago!" Yang Zhou didn't hold back, and pushed hard: "Get out of the way!"

Andrew made way sideways, looking at his running back and a piece of white clothes flapping in the wind in bewilderment.

Base No. 50 is densely populated, but it still covers more than [-] square kilometers.Because the law and order are usually good, there are not many police forces and they are very concentrated.Now it is a bit difficult to spread out to find a missing girl.

Chen Jian glanced at the anxious couple through the glass door.There seemed to be two premonitions in the mother's heart. For a while, she thought "Lily must be locked in the toy store and will be back soon", so she was relatively calm, and then thought "The people here are all vicious in nature, Lily is It's not that I was killed", I couldn't help crying, and the two states kept switching.The father was less neurotic, but also exhausted, pacing up and down the reception room.

Chen Jian sighed.At this moment Douglas came up and handed him a cigarette.Douglas had already faded away from the casual attitude of last night, and listened to the depressing news one after another from the mobile phone with a solemn expression.

"How long have you been missing?" Chen Jian asked.

"I got separated in the square at six o'clock yesterday afternoon, and called the police at eight o'clock, and now—" Douglas looked at his watch, and his tone became more and more anxious: "Eighteen hours."

"What about monitoring?"

"We here...you know, there is not much surveillance. Those in the square have been screened many times, and only one of them captured Lili, but she was on the edge of the surveillance range at the beginning, and then she walked a few steps by herself , out of sight, never appeared again."

Chen Jian was once despised by Yangzhou as a barbarian, but he didn't feel offended at all.Countless times, it was the barbarian's intuition that made him escape from danger and save himself from danger.But at this moment, he rubbed his temples irritably, and said in a low voice, "I have a bad feeling."

The police station was empty, almost everyone was sent out to find Lily, only a few female police officers stayed to appease her parents.

Douglas and Chen Jian looked at each other and expressed their agreement in silence.

Just when Chen Jian decided to find someone himself, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the gate of the police station.

A few seconds later, he saw Yangzhou running in disheveledly, his shirt was buttoned wrongly, the left side was longer than the right side, he was wearing no socks, and he just put on a pair of sneakers that didn't match the windbreaker.He has always been elegant and decent, but now he is in such a hurry for some reason.

"Why are you here?" Chen Jian asked.

Yang Zhou's words had already flowed to his lips, and he hesitated for a moment when he caught a glimpse of the tall Douglas.

On the taxi that came here, he used his reason as always to weigh the choices he was about to make.But now, with the risk clearly in front of him, Yang Zhou calmly tugged at the asymmetrical hem of his clothes, and asked calmly, "Chen Jian, can you take a step to speak?"
