born criminal

In the eyes of the police, the speed of successfully rescuing the girl 36 hours after her disappearance was already very fast.But for Lily, that was the longest and darkest period of her life.

The originally lively little girl became insane, autistic and easily frightened after waking up. She forbade anyone except her parents from approaching her.

Is it luck or misfortune to survive a huge trauma, but to be forever shrouded in shadow for the rest of my life?

All those who have seen Lily's bruised and disheveled state will almost sigh and ask a question from the bottom of their hearts.Is it better to die here, or to live in pain?

Probably no one dared to ask this question, but Ted Smith asked.

At that time, he had just returned from the hospital, and he and Yang Zhou were sitting on a chair in the lobby of the police station, listening to the exasperated roar in the interrogation room.

"Of course it's better to be alive." The two replied at the same time.

Yang Zhou turned his head in surprise, and saw Chen Jian walking over slowly.He was wearing a coat and a T-shirt, and a thick white bandage wrapped around his left arm.

Yang Zhou licked his upper lip uncomfortably with his teeth, looked away, and said to Smith, "Only by living can there be hope."

"Only by living can we take revenge." Chen Jian sat down beside him.

Yang Zhou hated the color of the bandage a little bit, it was too white, even if he saw it from the corner of his eye, it would be dazzling.

"Are you all right?" he asked dryly.

"Dug out two pieces of meat, what do you think?" Chen Jian shrank his shoulders suddenly, and hissed.

He acted exaggeratedly and funny, and his tone was frivolous, but Yangzhou had experienced that kind of pain and knew that he had suffered a lot.

He moved his lips, but he couldn't say the word "thank you".He was really not used to being protected by others, and he was even a little annoyed when he thought of the situation at that time. Why did Chen Jian push him away?But no matter how reluctant, what happened could not be changed, Chen Jian did block two shots for him, Yang Zhou didn't want to act like a white-eyed wolf.

Chen Jian sat aside and observed his tangled and awkward expression. For some reason, he wanted to laugh so much that his arm didn't hurt anymore. "You're welcome," he said close to Yangzhou's ear, "it's enough to promise with your body."

The heat made Yang Zhou's hairs stand on end, he suddenly turned his head to the left, and almost kissed Smith.

"Mr. Yang, are you okay?" Smith asked.

Yang Zhou shook his head and apologized.

Chen Jian embraced Yang Zhou's shoulder with his left hand, and brought him to his side. Yang Zhou was about to break free when he saw a trace of blood red on the bandage, and let out his strength.

"Don't worry," Chen Jian hugged him like a brother, without making Yang Zhou feel too uncomfortable, "I'm not the kind of person who promises to return favors. At that time, I would push away whoever it was. Besides, you ran too slowly, blocking Follow me."

His last sentence was obviously a joke, but Yang Zhou didn't like it when he heard it.With a flick of his hand, Chen Jian's hand slipped from his shoulder like a dead leaf.

"You..." Just as he was about to say something, the cursing in the interrogation room stopped, and Douglas opened the door and called Chen Jian over.

"Aren't you going to say it?" Chen Jian yawned and stood up, "You still have a hard mouth."

When he left, Yangzhou asked Smith: "Mr. Reporter, is your report finished?"

Smith nodded, and took out his folding computer from his pocket: "Do you want to see it?"

Smith's article was objective and detailed, reporting the whole story of the first missing girl case in Base [-] in eight years, and implicitly praised the government and police for their quick response and residents' strong support.

"Has the manuscript passed?"

"The preliminary review has passed." Smith looked at his big belly and said sadly, "It's up to the editor-in-chief."

"Want to add some hot spots?" Yang Zhou said, "The kind that the editor-in-chief can't refuse, and will definitely put your article on the front page."

Smith obviously didn't believe it, and raised his eyebrows perfunctorily.

"You've heard of the serial killer K in New York, right?" Seeing Smith nodding, Yangzhou pointed to the interrogation room: "James Luther is not the real K, but Kyle Green is."

"Really?!" Smith's voice attracted many people's attention.He digested the news with his mouth open for a while, and looked at Yangzhou suspiciously: "How do you know? What evidence is there?"

"You don't have to worry about how I know it, just write it in the article."

Smith refused: "Kyle Green didn't admit it, and I don't write things that don't have any basis."

"Are you really going to miss this great opportunity? Believe me, within two days, someone will expose this fact." Yangzhou persuaded: "Quickly seize the opportunity."

Smith still said: "I can't write things that have no basis."

"Don't you believe me?" Yangzhou asked.

Smith thought for a while and said, "Intuition believes it, but reason does not believe it."

Yang Zhou stared fixedly at this man who hadn't shaved for a few days and needed to spread his legs to make room for his sagging beer belly when he sat down. He suddenly smiled: "Mr. Smith, you are an excellent journalist." After a pause, he added : "No wonder you messed up so badly."

Smith was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed heartily: "Yes, otherwise, why would he be sent to the base?"

"But Mr. Yang is also puzzling." The two laughed enough, and Smith said: "I always thought you were a new policeman, but I didn't expect you to be an outsider. What is Mr. Yang doing at the base?"

Yangzhou didn't answer, and Smith thought he didn't want to reveal, so he waved his hand and said "forget it".

Little did he know that Yang Zhou was also asking himself this question in his heart.What am I doing at the base?

Yes, came to investigate genetic engineering, but no progress so far.To collect information on Chen Jian, but only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg.He came to help his mother find her ex-husband, but she didn't know where to start.

The task was not completed, but instead he unilaterally broke with the person who assigned the task.Jeffrey contacted him several times at noon today, but Yangzhou ignored him.He knew what Jeffrey wanted him to do, but to cooperate with them in the upcoming battle to bring down the White Dove Faction.

He glanced at the pensive Smith, and suddenly felt that all this was full of unreality.The world is like a chessboard, and the situation is changing rapidly. Some people carefully arrange and push the waves, and the schemers are big.Whether Smith realizes it or not, looking back years later, he will find that his article set the stage for a momentous event.

It's a pity that Yangzhou is not at the forefront of the tide and cannot control the direction of the big waves.He is just a little guy who is tired of political struggles, not interested in grand novels, and only remembers a girl named Lily covered in blood.

With a "crash", Chen Jian came out of the interrogation room with a face full of hostility, and entered the small room next to him.

He seemed to have taken something, a silver light flashed in his hand, and then returned to the interrogation room, slamming the door heavily.

Yangzhou had a bad intuition, and wanted to follow up to have a look, when the phone rang suddenly, and the caller was identified as Lu Zhao.

He walked outside the police station to answer the phone, chilled to the bone by the early February wind.

"Thank you, Lu Zhao." Ten minutes later, Yang Zhou hung up the phone.Before he could sit down at the police station, he heard a suppressed scream from the interrogation room.

Chen Jian walked out with a cold face, and threw away half of his bloody palm.The surrounding policemen let out a short gasp, and quickly regained their composure under his blade-like gaze, obviously getting used to his temper when he got impatient.

In fact, when Vladimir was in power, Chen Jian was the head of the police station, but he thought it was troublesome to deal with the coalition government, so he pushed Douglas out.Even though he is the governor now, Yu Wei is still there, and no one dares to question his actions.Even if a few new police officers were shocked by this bloody scene, thinking about what Kyle Green did to Lily, he felt that he deserved it.

So when Yang Zhou yelled that sentence, the police station suddenly became eerily quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Yang Zhou glanced at the broken palm on the ground, then at Chen Jian who was slowly wiping the narrow knife, and cursed again angrily: "You must be sick!"

He pushed Chen Jian away and walked into the interrogation room.

Chen Jian frowned when he touched the wound, but didn't say anything in the end.The spectators around were startled, exchanged glances with each other veiledly, and were full of curiosity about this person who came out of nowhere but openly embarrassed Chen Jian.

Douglas, who was standing in the corner, also saw this scene. In addition to being horrified, he was even more worried.He knew Yangzhou's identity as a United Nations police officer, and he also knew that Yangzhou's visit to the base was definitely not for a bullshit judicial investigation. After being reminded by Fang Xing, he had been secretly guarding against him.Yesterday, when he heard that Chen Jian blocked Yangzhou's gun, Douglas felt that something was wrong. Seeing how conniving he was to Yangzhou today, he couldn't help but ring the alarm in his mind.

After Chen Jian finished wiping the knife, he raised his eyelids and glanced at the people who were secretly gossiping. He stroked the blade vaguely with his fingers, and asked casually, "John, have you finished the on-site inspection report?"

The crowd fell silent for a moment, and dispersed after half a minute.Douglas walked forward slowly, as if he wanted to say something.

Chen Jian understood from his expression, raised his right hand and swiped flatly, motioning him to stop: "Stop talking, I didn't fall in love with Yangzhou."

Douglas moved his lips, and Chen Jian said again: "Even if I fall in love with him, it won't affect our plan."

Douglas tried to speak again, and Chen Jian was annoyed: "There is no chance. Why are you exactly the same as Fang Xing, just make a pair."

Douglas' mouth was half-open and his face flushed.Chen Jian waved his hand and said, "I'm going back to sleep, you guys take your time to interrogate."

Douglas chased after him, and asked in a low voice, "What if he doesn't admit that he is K?"

"It doesn't matter." Chen Jian said: "Just wait, someone will expose it for you."

"Then what's the point of trial? In Lily's case, the existing evidence is enough to convict." Seeing that he was about to leave, Douglas asked, "Why did you cut off his hand?"

"I don't like to hear what he said." Chen Jian paused for a while: "Disgusting."

In the interrogation room, Yang Zhou and Kyle Green sat opposite each other, separated by a plexiglass table.

Kyle Green stared at him sternly, his right hand was scribbled in gauze, and the only remaining thumb was bent and stretched on the smooth tabletop, as if trying to make a fist.

"Don't waste your efforts." Yang Zhou asked, "How did you get the base pass?"

Kyle Green didn't speak, but just looked at him fiercely.

Yang Zhou was not annoyed, and asked again: "Are you responsible for the serial rape and murder of girls in New York?"

Noticing that Yang Zhou was looking at his left hand, Kyle Green sneered suddenly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Why, do you want to chop off another one? The place where a natural criminal stays is different, and he can easily extract a confession by torture."

Yangzhou changed the subject in a flat tone: "You love Victoria very much, right?"

Kyle Green's hair is long and falls in front of his eyes in a mess.He looked disdainful: "Who is Victoria?"

"Your childhood sweetheart, your secret married wife, Philippa's mother. Do you remember Philippa? The little girl you strangled to death. Victoria is heartbroken now."

"What does it have to do with me?" Kyle Green's panting became quicker: "That bitch deserves it!"

"After you joined the army, she waited for you for several years. Although she married someone in the end, don't you think it's too heartless to say that?" Yang Zhou's tone was light, with a kind of indifference that had nothing to do with him.

"Wait?" Kyle Green was irritated by his understatement, and let out a hoarse and terrifying laugh: "This bitch has already hooked up with other men, otherwise you don't think she is so big child?"

Yangzhou pulled the corner of his mouth.He looked at each other with disgust and pity: "That's your child."

"Nonsense!" Kyle Green rushed towards Yang Zhou, and the chains around his waist and abdomen straightened suddenly, trapping him in the chair.He gritted his teeth, like a desperate beast bursting out desperate killing intent from his red eyes.

"Oh, don't you know? Didn't Victoria tell you? That's right, for a possessive pervert like you, it's too late for her to hide."

Yangzhou's outsider-like indifference made people madder than all the police's coercion and temptation. Kyle Green patted the glass table heavily with one and a half palms: "You are lying! You are lying!"

"Victoria always thought that James Luther killed her precious daughter." Yangzhou said coldly, "You said, what would happen if she knew that Philippa was raped and killed by her biological father?"

In the interrogation room came the sound of a heavy object hitting "dong dong", and Douglas knocked twice symbolically before pushing it away: "Mr. Yang, are you all right?"

"It's okay." Yangzhou pointed to the man who was banging his head on the glass table: "Look at him, he has the tendency of suicide and self-harm."

Douglas called some policemen and took away Kyle Green who was in a frenzy.Then he gave Yang Zhou a sideways glance, and praised meaningfully: "We don't tell you no matter how we ask, the people at UNPO are really amazing."

Yangzhou was silent.Although his identity had been exposed long ago, everyone pretended to be ignorant at first, but now they have finally reached the point where they can no longer pretend.

"May I ask what Mr. Yang is doing at the base?"

Yangzhou smiled slightly, soft lines appeared in the corners of his eyes, like the residual waves on the lake after the spring breeze.A person who was usually cold and indifferent suddenly became cunning and amiable. Even Douglas was taken aback and almost forgot his own problem.

"I'm here for vacation." Yang Zhou said.
