quarter quotient

There are no stars in the sky, the moon hides behind the dark clouds, and the white light between the clouds tears the night apart.

Ji Shang stood beside the car, looking at the night sky where the light and dark intertwine, lost in thought.No matter how cruel and illusory plots he can conceive, the reality is always crueler than him, a hundred times, a thousand times.

The trace inspection pulled up the cordon and entered the scene.The ambulance flashed blue and two black body bags were loaded into the vehicle.

Yin Hao stopped behind Ji Shang and looked at him for a moment before walking towards him. Ji Shang turned his head and didn't ask any questions.

"Take you somewhere." Yin Hao said with a tired face.

Ten minutes later, Yin Hao and Ji Shang were sitting on a bench in a square somewhere in the city center.

High-rise buildings, roads, and shopping malls are brightly lit.

The crowds are bustling, and passing by is relaxing and comfortable, smiling and lively.

The child laughed and ran forward when the fountain fell, and ran away screaming when the water column rose.

The aunts are in one corner, dancing like no one else around, the pink and white flower fans dragging their long tails in the wind.

Colorful balloons swayed in the crowd, a group of people gathered in front of the ice cream vending machine, and shouts for selling hot glutinous rice cakes and spiced bean curds kept coming and going.

The girl held her boyfriend's hand and stepped on the narrow metal guardrail like walking a tightrope.

Yin Hao said: "It's dangerous, don't step on the guardrail."

The girl smiled shyly, and jumped down. Her boyfriend held her waist and gently lowered her to the ground.The two hugged each other and ran away laughing.

"It's really noisy." Yin Hao laughed.

Ji Shang didn't ask Yin Hao why he brought him to this place, but when he saw Yin Hao sitting on the bench, his silent and tense expression gradually relaxed, it was self-evident.

Staring at the abyss for too long, he needs to look at the world.

Ji Shang said: "Noisy is the truth of the world."

Yin Hao nodded, still quietly looking at the passers-by, and suddenly said with a bit of self-mockery after a while: "Do you know? The first time I went to the murder scene in person, I almost vomited bile."

Ji Shang said: "This is normal. No matter how much case information you read, it won't have as much impact as witnessing it with your own eyes."

Yin Hao leaned on the back of the bench with his elbows, and turned his head towards Ji Shang: "I was awesome before I went out to the scene. I thought it was my turn, and the first time I appeared on the scene was at six o'clock in the morning Zhong, he was quite pretentious at the time, and he even ate a few meat buns on the way there. Who knew that the first time he came across the Giant View, he just made me feel stupid."

Although Yin Hao didn't smile when he said this, his expression was relaxed.Ji Shang said: "So now I see a lot, and I gradually get used to it? You can also say that a corpse is like a corpse."

Yin Hao stood up and rubbed his face a few times, his voice was still clear and powerful in the noisy environment: "To be honest, this kind of thing will never get used to it, and I shouldn't get used to it, and I don't intend to get used to it. Because it makes me Be aware of what I'm doing. What I'm supposed to do."

Ji Shang raised his head slightly to look at Yin Hao.From time to time, pedestrians pass behind him, maybe because he is the closest to Ji Shang, and Ji Shang feels that Yin Hao is very tall at the moment.Perhaps because of what he just said, Ji Shang also felt that Yin Hao exuded a strong charm, which was different from the attraction between children's personal love.If it must be defined, it is roughly like the psychological emotions that every child will have when his parents repeatedly exhort him when he leaves home for the first time.

"What should I do if I meet a bad guy?"

"Look for Uncle Police."

Through countless dedications and sacrifices, this group has earned the inherent strong trust in them from generation to generation.And with people like Yin Hao in this group, this kind of trust will last forever.

Ji Shang lazily leaned on the back of the chair, he did not hide the admiration in his eyes, his eyes were frank like a joke, Ji Shang said: "Brother policeman."

Yin Hao looked down at Ji Shang: "Need help?"

"Can you take the time to send the semi-disabled people home?"

"Serving people's names." Yin Hao smiled coyly, "Let's go, semi-disabled people."

Ji Shang stood up, and the two walked through the chaotic square, avoiding the children running around, avoiding the splashing water, and covering their ears in front of the high-pitched horns of the aunts.The world is really noisy, but they are like everyone else, in this noise, every time they look at each other, they are full of peace of mind.

Ji Shang covered his ears, and asked when the drunken butterflies couldn't fly out of Huahua's world: "So you come to this kind of place every time to relieve stress? It's really special."

Yin Hao also shouted: "Occasionally go to other places."

"Where?" The sound wave was too strong, Ji Shang couldn't hear it clearly.

Yin Hao stopped and said in a normal tone: "For example, go meet the person you want to see."

Ji Shang still didn't hear clearly, and asked again when the environment quieted down in the parking lot.

But Yin Hao said: "I will tell you later."

When Ji Shang got in the car, when he was fastening his seat belt, he suddenly remembered what Chai Lu said earlier for no reason.

He stopped what he was doing, and asked, "In front of the printing factory, Chai Lu said something happened, and it could be related to the Zaolin District Industrial Park. What does it mean? Has something happened in that place recently?"

Yin Hao was about to start the car, but when he saw that Ji Shang hadn't put on his seat belt, he stopped. He reached out and hooked the seat belt that Ji Shang was holding in his hand.

"You know, the [-] case some time ago." Yin Hao said casually.

"Case [-]?" Ji Shang's subconscious mind tightened.

In such a short period of time, there was another case of imitating a novel, which is really weird.What is even more puzzling is that both murderers were killed in the case, and why these two people who have no connection with each other are so obsessed with the killing methods described in his novels.

If the murderer in the 50 case was a reader of Ji Shang, then this explanation can barely make sense, but Xiang Songtao, a man in his [-]s, is also obsessed with his online novels?It even needs to be reproduced in the real world. He has a simpler and more direct method of killing people, so why make it so complicated.

There is also the Arabic numeral "2" with light and shadow hitting Yi Shaoqing's chest. What does this mean to Xiang Songtao?Ji Shang was still not sure whether Yin Hao saw that number at that time, and he never found a suitable opportunity to ask after he left the printing factory.

"Yes, it's the [-] case that imitated the murder method in your book." When Ji Shangsi was paying attention, Yin Hao said again, "The deceased, that is, the mastermind of the case, Wang Jingping also went to Zaolin District Industrial Park on the day of his death. "

This is the first time Yin Hao asked Ji Shang the name of the victim of the premise [-] case, and it was also the first time he told Ji Shang that the deceased was the mastermind of the case.

"Wang Jingping."

Ji Shang read the name word by word, like a blow to the head.A distant voice then rang in Ji Shang's ears.

"The little bottle is drawing." Ding Sixin dragged Ji Shang to the brick fort in front of the small yard by the roadside, "Let's go and see what he is painting."

"I don't want to go." Ji Shang was half dragged forward by Ding Sixin.Ding Hengyuan went to reunite with his old classmates this morning, Ji Shang and Ding Sixin went to pick him up together, Ji Shang was so anxious that he wanted to step over to the bus stop, where would he be so careless as Ding Sixin, wandering around and wasting time.

"Let's go." Ding Sixin whispered, "Let's go say hello to Little Pingzi and leave. That idiot Zeng Dachong took the other two classmates out every day, and never took Little Pingzi out once. I see him. , Eighty percent of the time I brought the little bottle to let him help with homework. The little bottle is so pitiful, let's go and see him."

Anyway, it wouldn't take a few minutes, Ji Shang was dragged by Ding Sixin, dragged her into the yard with her, and said critically: "Don't say that was a bug, how about you? Small bottle, small bottle, is there any?" Be polite, Wang Jingping is older than you."

The two had already arrived at the bottom of the fort. Wang Jingping heard someone coming in and suddenly pressed his hand on the drawing paper. Seeing that it was Ding Sixin and Ji Shang, he relaxed a little and smiled shyly at them.

"Little Bottle, how kind you are." Ding Sixin smiled and waved to Wang Jingping, "Right, Little Bottle."

Wang Jingping nodded and looked at the two with a smile.

The owner of this courtyard is Wu Yingzi, who often visits Jishang's grandmother Hou Suzhen's house to chat.Ji Shang heard from Wu Yingzi that her sister's grandson was mischievous, got the bottom of the final grade and fought at school, was whipped, sent to the countryside for labor reform, experienced the hard life of ordinary people, and helped Wu Yingzi break corn.

Wu Yingzi's great-nephew came to the countryside with a few classmates, and ran to the game hall in the town every day, but there was no one there. He only came back at night to stay overnight because his parents would check the guard.

Wu Yingzi's corn field was endless at a glance, and in fact, Wang Jingping was the only one who helped Wu Yingzi work.Wu Yingzi had a very good impression of Wang Jingping, and she called Xiao Ping Zi, Xiao Ping Zi kindly all day long.So Ji Shang was a little more familiar with Wang Jingping, and the other three had hurriedly met each other a few times, especially Wu Yingzi's grandnephew with eyes on his forehead, whose name he didn't even remember.

"It's summer vacation, I'm here to play. Don't be so honest, others are clearly bullying you." Ji Shang's tone was not very good, mainly because he was worried about Wang Jingping's submissive appearance every day, "You have to learn to speak No."

"I, I..." Wang Jingping was vague for a long time, and whispered, "It's okay, it's okay to do more homework, and it can deepen your knowledge, so it's a good thing."

Ji Shang hated that iron could not be made into steel, and almost couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Ding Sixin hurriedly smoothed things over, changed the topic, looked around, grabbed the white MP4 on the small table and said, "Wow, little bottle, this is the latest version of MP4, and it also has the function of recording and taking photos. I have always wanted to buy it." , My parents disagree with life and death."

"Brother Long gave it to me." Wang Jingping answered quickly, and he glanced at Ji Shang as he spoke, as if explaining that they were also very kind to me.

Ji Shang whispered: "If you don't help that brother Chong with his homework or farm work, let's see if he sees you off."

"Haha." Ding Sixin covered Ji Shang's mouth, pushed Ji Shang away with a palm, and then ran to the fort, squatting beside Wang Jingping, "Let me see what the little bottle painted."

"I'm not good at drawing, so I'm just playing with it." Wang Jingping moved his palm away, with an embarrassed expression on his face, maybe because Ji Shang's words hurt him, or maybe because he was really ashamed to show his paintings to others.

It was a pencil sketch of a distant mountain.Country roads, rice fields, rivers, and sunflower fields on distant mountains are in black and white tones, and even the clouds floating in the sky are dim gray and black outlined by black pencils.This painting is indeed rough, but it gives people a sense of loneliness and depression.

Ding Sixin frowned, picked up the yellow pencil next to him, and painted the petals of the highest sunflower on the hillside yellow.

"Little bottle, I will give you a colorful flower." Ding Sixin looked left and right, very satisfied with his finishing touch, "Sunflowers must be yellow, like the sun."

Wang Jingping's thank you was too low to be heard.Ding Sixin did not take the stone ladder, but jumped directly from the fort.Holding Ji Shang's elbow, he walked towards the door with a flick, "Little bottle, goodbye."

After leaving the courtyard, Ji Shang pushed aside Ding Sixin's hand in disgust, "Ding Sixin, you don't understand the difference between men and women."

"There is no difference between men and women, it doesn't exist." Ding Sixin let go of Ji Shang's hand after saying this, and whispered as he ran away, "We are sister-in-law."

It took a while for Ji Shang to react, his ears turned red and he hurriedly chased Ding Sixin.

The little girl giggled and turned around to make a grimace. There was a small pear dimple on one side of her upturned mouth, which was as sweet as the Yin peach in June in the south.

Ji Shang didn't hear what Yin Hao said later.

Only when the vehicle drove out of the parking lot, he suddenly said, "Yin Hao, take me to the Second Municipal Hospital."
