Back to 1990. Criminal Investigation

"She...hasn't come home for two days." Ding Chong's voice trembled slightly.

The uncle grabbed Ding Chong by the neck and roared, "Mother doesn't even know where she's going at night? How did you become a son?"

When Leng Jiucheng entered the door, he saw this scene. He kicked his uncle in the hollow of his knee, and his uncle fell to the ground suddenly. He turned to look at Leng Jiucheng, "Are you... who is it?"

Halfway through the conversation, he remembered that this person was the police neighbor of his younger sister’s house. He looked at Ding Chong, “Being next to the police can make your mother disappear.” Then he looked at Leng Jiucheng, “A bunch of idiots.”

Leng Jiucheng was very upset by the irony of a pun. No one wanted Zhang Juan to have an accident, but life always has accidents. He walked over and said in a deep voice, "Keep your mouth clean."

"What are you doing?" The old man's voice came from the bedroom.

Ding Chong hurriedly grabbed Leng Jiucheng, "My uncle has a bean curd heart, let's go."

The two turned around to leave, but the uncle stood up from the ground, "Wait a minute."

Ding Chong and Leng Jiucheng turned their heads.

"I'll call Zhang Xue, Zhang Yu, and Zhang Lei to find them together."

The children of Uncle Ding Chong's family were all married, together with relatives and neighbors, nearly 20 people went to the city to look for Zhang Juan, and they couldn't fit in the car, so they drove two carriages.

Gao Mingjun also joined the search team, and they searched all the places where Zhang Juan could go, but found no useful information.

Ding Chong remembered what Gao Mingjun said before, and asked, "Uncle Gao, do you know the person who came to send news to my mother?"

Gao Mingjun shook his head, "I haven't seen it before."

Leng Jiucheng took out his pen and notebook from his pocket, "Describe your appearance."

Gao Mingjun: "Male, less than 1 meters tall, dark face, single eyelids, flat nose bridge, neither fat nor thin, wearing a dark blue hat, when he came I was packing towels in the store, I didn't hear what they were talking about, It looks like someone Juan knows."

Leng Jiucheng took back the pen, spread out the notebook and showed the portrait to everyone, "Does anyone know him?"

Everyone looked at it one by one, and after a brief silence, someone said, "It looks like that boy from Lei's family at the west end of the village."

This beginning provoked everyone's memories, and everyone said in one go:

"It really looks like Lei Ming."

"Lei Ming has liked Juanzi since he was a child. Before Juanzi got married, he went to Zhang's house every day. After she got married, he was still ruthless. After marrying his wife, he was honest."

"Eh? He has been working in the city and hasn't returned home for some years. How could he come to send fake news to Juanzi?"

Leng Jiucheng interrupted the discussion, "Where is Lei Ming working now?"

"Like a cement factory."

The silenced police car soon drove to the Jingchuan Cement Plant. The staff heard that the police were very cooperative, and they met Lei Ming smoothly.

Lei Ming stopped in front of Leng Jiucheng with fear, "Did I...do something wrong?"

Leng Jiucheng didn't answer his question, and always asked seriously when he took out his work: "You told Zhang Juan that her mother was sick?"

Lei Ming nodded, "Who are you Juan?"

"I am his son." Ding Chong replied.

"Ah Chong? Have you grown so big?" Lei Ming smiled, "I saw you as a baby before."

"Where did you hear that Zhang Juan's mother was seriously ill?" Leng Jiucheng interrupted Lei Ming's chatter.

Lei Ming thought for a while, "At that time, a little girl came to the factory to look for me, she said she was Zhang Lei's friend, and Zhang Xue dragged her to the city to pass news to Juan, but she couldn't find where Zhang Juan's home was when she came to the city for the first time. She ran to the factory and entrusted me to go.”

"If you can't find Zhang Juan's house, can you find the cement factory?" Leng Jiucheng questioned.

Lei Ming and Zhang Juan had a deep relationship with their mother. When they heard that Zhang Juan's mother was seriously ill, they were stunned.

Leng Jiucheng saw his astonishment and did not continue to press, "Describe the girl's appearance."

"Big eyes, duck egg face, long hair combed into a ponytail, wearing a floral skirt, I was anxious and didn't look carefully, what's wrong with Juan?"

Lei Ming's description was not detailed, and Leng Jiucheng could only draw a rough outline. He handed the notebook to Ding Chong, "Have you seen it?"

Ding Chong shook his head.

"This is a bit weird, go back and ask Zhang Lei first."

They turned to leave, Lei Ming grabbed Ding Chong, "What's wrong with your mother?"

Ding Chong was silent for a moment and said: "She is missing, if uncle has any news about her, please contact me as soon as possible."

Lei Ming let go of Ding Chong's arm, stared blankly into the distance, and murmured: "I killed her."

Ding Chong didn't answer, turned around and left with Leng Jiucheng.

After returning home, everyone looked at them expectantly, Leng Jiucheng didn't say a word, and only called Zhang Lei outside to talk.

Zhang Lei repeatedly denied, "I don't know the person you painted, and I have never asked anyone to tell my aunt. I am busy weeding at home these days, so I don't have time to spread nonsense." Look at Ding Chong, "I was brought up by my aunt when I was young, and my relationship with my aunt is better than that of my parents. How could I harm my aunt?"

Ding Chong knew this, his uncle's family had many children, and his mother often helped look after her before she got married, he looked at Leng Jiucheng and shook his head.

When Zhang Lei entered the room, Leng Jiucheng and Ding Chong stood facing each other, looking at each other without speaking, for a long time Leng Jiucheng said: "Think about whether there are other people who are more familiar with Auntie."

Ding Chong really thought of one, this person is Zhang Juan's regular customer, who doesn't live in this area, the two of them got along very well after getting a haircut and became good friends who talked about everything, but they didn't see each other often, but every time We can talk for a long time when we meet.

They found the aunt's house based on Ding Chong's memory. The woman was very happy to see Ding Chong, and eagerly asked about Zhang Juan's recent situation.

Ding Chong straightforwardly stated his intention, and the woman's reaction was exactly the same as Lei Ming's. After she gradually recovered from the shock, Leng Jiucheng said, "Have you seen Zhang Juan recently?"

The woman shook her head, looked up at Ding Chong, "Juanzi made a friend...do you know?"

"know."

"They are often together recently, Gao Mingjun should know where Juan has gone."

Ding Chong: "I asked, my mother was cheated away, and Uncle Gao didn't know about it."

"Juan can still be cheated when we are together every day?" The woman snorted dissatisfiedly, "It's really stupid. He was able to find such a good woman as Juan because of his previous life's blessings. If he doesn't protect her well, he will be cheated. What's the matter? A man? Humph! It's not a man." The woman said angrily.

Leng Jiucheng's eyes lit up, "Not a man?"

The woman realized that she said something wrong, glanced at Ding Chong secretly, and said awkwardly: "I shouldn't tell you about Juan's private affairs."

Ding Chong interrupted her, "My mother's situation is very dangerous now, Auntie, just say what you know."

"Gao Mingjun...he can't...how about not marrying a wife when you were young?" The woman sighed, "Your mother didn't know at first, but she separated from him after she found out, and who knew later So what method did Gao Mingjun use to coax Juan back?"

"Thank you, let's go first." Leng Jiucheng immediately turned around and walked out, out of the woman's house, he glanced at Ding Chong and said: "The murderer of the female corpse in red also... has sexual dysfunction. "

Ding Chong felt dizzy and almost fell, Leng Jiucheng hugged him, "It may be a coincidence."

"Don't lie to me, my mother is very dangerous now, isn't she?"

Leng Jiucheng didn't say anything to comfort him, and answered truthfully: "Yes."

Ding Chong: "What should we do now?"

"Go to Gao Mingjun's house to have a look."

The courtyard door of Gao Mingjun's house was locked. They climbed over the wall and entered. The flowers and plants in the courtyard were neatly trimmed and the windows were wiped clean and bright. They went around to the back of the house. There was a window behind with curtains drawn. Go to the room with the curtains drawn.

Ding Chong pushed open the door, and before he could see the situation inside, his eyes were covered by warm palms, and Leng Jiucheng's usual cold voice suddenly softened, "Let's go out and talk."

Ding Chong stood still, "Let go."

"Ding Chong!" Leng Jiucheng called his name tenderly.

"Release." Ding Chong's voice was like a steel needle, every word was cold and powerful.

"Auntie..." Leng Jiucheng hesitated to speak.

"I guessed it, let go."

Leng Jiucheng paused, and slowly moved his palm away from Ding Chong's eyes.

There is a double bed in the small room, the snow-white sheets are covered with rose petals, Zhang Juan is lying on the petals, her eyes are closed as if she is sleeping, Ding Chongqing called "Mom" but there is no response, he walked over and held Zhang Juan Juan's hand was as cold as ice.

After all, he still lost his mother. He didn't growl or cry, but held Zhang Juan's hand quietly. Suddenly, a beam of strong thunder came from the roof, shaking his eyes shut and opening them again. Leng Jiucheng, Zhang Juan, and the house all disappeared, leaving only a tunnel surrounded by white light in front of him.

He went in, and at the end of the tunnel, he saw his past self.

In the smoky office, the director said to him: "Chen Ling and his gang not only do many evils in China, but also collude with foreign drug dealers. The higher-ups hope that we can find out the truth and cooperate with Interpol to wipe out these gangsters." , but there is a reasonable reason for their needs, and there must be someone who can get into them."

Ding Chong picked up the cigarette case on the director's desk, took out one and lit it, "So you chose me."

"Well, if you don't want to"

"I am willing."

The director was slightly taken aback, and reminded: "It will be very dangerous, those people..."

"It's fierce and brutal. If you find out my true identity, you won't even be able to find my body. It's really dangerous, but someone has to do it. I've known them for many years, and I know everyone's temperament. better than me."

"you......."

"Don't waste any more time, arrange it as soon as possible."

From that day on, he changed from a policeman to a prisoner. No one except the leader knew his true identity, but the news of betraying the police force and helping Chen Ling escape spread quickly, and he became the object of contempt by everyone.

In order not to arouse Chen Ling's suspicion, they had to do things against their will.Every time there is a pair of scorching eyes staring at him in the crowd, no one else can see the abnormality, only he knows that the anger comes from the same kind.

Being with Chen Ling and the others in his previous life was not a business at all, it was like watching a long movie, he remembered everything.

Then I opened my eyes and was in a snow-white room, and the smell of disinfectant swam into my nostrils.

"Are you awake?" My cousin asked with concern.

Ding Chong supported the edge of the bed and slowly sat up, "Where is this?"

"Hospital, you have been in a coma for three days."

"Where is Gao Mingjun?" Ding Chong recalled the scene before he fell into a coma, "My mother... died, and the body is at Gao Mingjun's house. What about others? Don't let him escape."

The cousin patted Ding Chong on the shoulder, "Gao Mingjun was taken away by Police Officer Leng, and he confessed to murdering my sister-in-law."

Ding Chong looked around, "Leng Jiucheng is at the police station?"

The cousin pursed her lips and lowered her head slightly, "Officer Leng is missing."

2021, summer.

"Wake up, wake up, wake up, call the doctor quickly."

In the noisy voice, Leng Jiucheng opened his eyes, seeing familiar faces in front of him, colleagues and leaders whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he said hoarsely, "Where is this?"

The old leader sighed, "Finally woke up, this is the hospital."

"How am I...in the hospital?"

"You were wounded on the way to kill the criminal and almost lost your life. Only the best doctor was invited to pull you back from death."

"Where's Ding Chong?" Leng Jiucheng said weakly.

The old leader waved his arm, "You go out first."

Everyone withdrew one after another, and there were only the two of them left in the room. The old leader pulled up a chair and sat down, "There is something that you misunderstood Ding Chong. He did not rebel. The success of this operation has an important relationship with Ding Chong."

Leng Jiucheng gradually came back to his senses, only to realize that the present is not 1990.

In 1990, I imagined many situations about Ding Chong Leng Jiucheng. What I was most afraid of was that Ding Chong was of the same kind as himself. The fear became a reality. There was a long and thin needle in his heart, pricking the softest place, and the pain After a long silence, he tremblingly said: "Ding Chong killed Li Tao...how could it be a policeman?"

"Although Li Tao was seriously injured, he didn't die. If Ding Chong didn't do that, the whole plan would be ruined. On that occasion, he could only hurt Li Tao to protect the overall situation."

Leng Jiucheng pulled out the needle on the back of his hand, propped his hand on the bed and tried to sit up, but the injury was too serious, he couldn't sit up at all, he just lay on the bed panting and said, "Ding Chong knows my identity?"

"He guessed it."

"why did not you tell me?"

"Ding Chong directly communicated with the leaders above. I only found out about this recently. Last time, I uprooted Chen Ling and the others. The operation was very successful. You can recover from your illness at ease. When you recover, I will change your name and surname and return to your post. .”

"Ding Chong... sacrificed?"

"Hmm." The old leader sighed again.

"Who killed it?" Leng Jiucheng remembered that the scene was chaotic at that time. In order to capture Ding Chong alive, he ran into the barren hills after chasing Ding Chong. During the chase, someone shot him from behind, and then he went to 1990.

"When we chased into the barren mountain, we first found you who still had breath, and then we saw the corpses of Ding Chong and Bai Ren. Both of them had countless scars on their bodies. According to the forensic identification and the current traces, Bai Ren should be Knowing Ding Chong's identity, they had a very fierce quarrel and fight. Bai Ren... shot and wounded Ding Chong, and Ding Chong stabbed Bai Ren in the heart. The person who hurt you should also be a white sword."

Leng Jiucheng stopped talking, and the old leader closed the door of the ward and went out silently.

When he first arrived in 1990, he hated Ding Chong's rebellion, hated Ding Chong for killing Li Tao, and his hatred was like a strong smoke. Later, he found that Ding Chong was just an ordinary boy in 1990. Like all adolescent children, his hatred changed. A little doubt came to my mind, why did he go to 1900?

Only at this moment did he realize that he was brought there by Ding Chong.

Ding Chong has been misunderstood for many years, and has been looking forward to meeting Leng Jiucheng frankly at the end, clarifying the misunderstanding, and resolving Leng Jiucheng's hatred for him, but that day he chased him with a white knife, destroying the desire he had hidden in his heart for many years. If he was too strong, he brought the comatose Leng Jiucheng to 1990.

outside the ward.

The little nurse hurried to the doctor's office, "Dr. Zhao's patient in bed 19 is unconscious again." Then Leng Jiucheng was put on an oxygen mask and a monitor.

The nurse fell asleep in the middle of the night, and the ward was quiet again. Leng Jiucheng woke up again. This time his lips were out of control and he couldn't speak, but his mind was clear. The day Ding Chong died was the day he went to 1990, at the same time There is also Bairen in the barren mountain, so will Bairen be reborn in 1990?

As soon as this idea came out, the eyes of the person on the ventilator on the hospital bed widened instantly, and his mouth made a whining sound. The nurse was sleeping soundly, and only a few rays of moonlight that sneaked in could detect the abnormality of the patient.

Leng Jiucheng wondered countless times why what happened in 1990 was different from what he remembered, and what was supposed to happen did not go on the normal track. He went back and changed the original fate of his mother and Zhang Juan, but he never thought that someone would follow him. He also knows the fate of every character in 90 years.

It turned out that someone was interfering with it.

In 1990, Bai Ren knew who Leng Jiucheng was, where he came from, and what Ding Chong would do in the future. Leng Jiucheng had the ability to change the fate of characters, and Bai Ren could do the same.

Gao Mingjun is a neighbor of Bai Ren's family, and he approached Zhang Juan on his own initiative. It seemed accidental but it was not accidental. Gao Mingjun had an impure mind when he approached Zhang Juan at the beginning. Leng Jiucheng rescued him and revived Zhang Juan, and Bai Ren used Gao Mingjun to kill her .

They all became flags.

The reason why Bai Ren did this was because he knew that Ding Chong would betray them in the future, and he also knew the purpose of Ding Chong's intentional approach this time. After the news of the transaction was learned by the police, it proved Bai Ren's conjecture, so it didn't take long for this matter to end. just die.

Chen Ling and the others were caught by the police because of Ding Chong. After Bai Ren knew everything, he would not let Ding Chong go easily when he returned to 1990. Leng Jiucheng turned over with difficulty, and his arms slowly reached for the ventilator.

In the quiet ward late at night, the sound of the monitor stopped abruptly.

The moment he saw Leng Jiucheng, Li Xun screamed, "Captain, where have you been these days?"

Leng Jiucheng asked him without answering, "Where is Ding Chong?"

Li Xun looked sad, "He..."

Leng Jiucheng subconsciously raised his voice, squeezed Li Xun's shoulder and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

"He... Chen Ling and the others suspected that Ding Chong released the news to the anti-narcotics team last time, so they kidnapped him. After these days of investigation, we found that Bai Ren took Ding Chong to an abandoned house in the west of the city, and was taken away at the same time. There was also a policeman surnamed Leng who went there. We have been watching for two days. He never beat, scolded or let people go. It’s already in place, if Bai Ren doesn’t let him go, he will kill him directly if necessary.”

"Take me there."

Two low buildings were built facing each other on the weeds, and there were a group of people standing on the roofs of the buildings on both sides. When Bai Ren saw Leng Jiucheng standing opposite him, he suddenly smiled, "I knew you would come back." Bai Jian scratched his face, "Didn't you always want to kill him? Today I will help you."

After saying that, he raised his eyes and looked at Leng Jiucheng, "After knowing the truth, you can't bear to kill him?"

Leng Jiucheng lighted a cigarette indifferently, smoked and said unhurriedly: "Not everyone has the chance to start over, since you have it, why don't you cherish it?"

"I'm just cherishing it. Only by getting rid of this traitor can future troubles be avoided forever."

Ding Chong under the knife sneered, "If one Ding Chong dies, there will be another Ding Chong who will stand up and kill him forever."

"If you hadn't used our previous relationship to gain trust, they would never have been able to find out our nest in the Golden Triangle." Bai Jian raised his arm and waved in the air, "I don't want to mention the past." He looked up at the person opposite Shout: "Officer Leng, let's play a game."

Li Jingwei brought Leng Yunqing's family out of the corner, looked at the three members of the Leng family with a white blade, and then at Leng Jiucheng. The corner of his lips curled up, and he said with a smile: "Officer Leng can come back here, it must be with that The edge is completely broken, I am curious about the relationship between you and this child now." His slender fingers landed on the toddler who was about to turn one year old.

Li Meihua was restrained and couldn't move, she shouted to Bai Ren at the top of her voice, "Take your hand away, don't touch my son."

Bai Ren looked at her, smiled and pinched the child's neck.

Leng Jiucheng endured the feeling of suffocation and said, "It's not like you attack a child with a white knife."

Bai Ren let go of his hand slowly, "I don't know what to do with this child, because I know that Officer Leng never cares about his own life or death, so let's play a game."

Behind Leng Yunqing and his wife, there was one more person holding a gun to their heads, and the same was behind Ding Chong.

"On one side are teammates who have been misunderstood for many years, and on the other side are relatives who have survived again. Let me see which officer Leng will choose? If you don't choose, I will send them away together."

As soon as the words fell, Ding Chong stood up abruptly, and bumped into the man with the gun behind him. The man raised his finger, but the bullet missed Ding Chong. There was a brief chaos at the scene, and the sniper took advantage of the chaos to kill Bai Ren.

half year later.

The final exam was over, and the roommates packed their luggage and went home one after another. Ding Chong was the only one left in the lively dormitory in the past. After a meal, he wrapped himself in a padded jacket and went downstairs at noon. Before leaving the dormitory, he saw a straight figure standing at the door.

"Going to eat?" Leng Jiucheng's familiar tone seemed like they had just met yesterday.

Ding Chong was overjoyed, nodded and said, "Why are you here?"

"Celebrate the New Year with you." Leng Jiucheng took the hot water bottle from his hand, "Where is the hot water room?"

Seeing his frozen red hands, Ding Chong said, "Have you been here for a long time?"

"Arrived in the morning."

"Why didn't you write to me in advance?"

"I was too busy with a case a year ago and didn't have time."

Ding Chong remembered the scene of Leng Jiucheng kicking the door every time he went home, and couldn't help smiling, "Is it cold at home in winter?"

Leng Jiucheng thought about a common question for a long time, and finally smiled apologetically: "After you left, I basically stayed in the bureau for a long time without going back."

His parents were not around, Ding Chong didn't want to go back to Jingchuan, he sold the house directly before leaving, and stayed in Jingchuan with his mother for a short time, only came to the capital to study, and when Jingchuan was mentioned again, he couldn't help but think of his mother, he controlled his emotions Changed the subject and said, "A business trip?"

Leng Jiucheng shook his head, "Come to see you."

"Miss me?" Ding Chong joked.

"I've always wanted to."

Ding Chong didn't expect Leng Jiucheng to answer like this, and couldn't help but blush, and hurriedly found an excuse to bypass the topic, "The restaurant where I work is ahead for dinner first."

After ordering two simple dishes for parents, Ding Chong poured a cup of tea for Leng Jiucheng, "Drink some water to warm up your body first."

"Okay." Leng Jiucheng was still the same, talking less but not embarrassing.

After learning that Bai Ren ordered Zhang Juan to kill, Ding Chong was hit hard. After the case was handed over to the police, he went to the countryside with his uncle and never came back until the beginning of school. Leng Jiucheng went to him several times but was isolated I didn't see anyone outside the door, and my uncle came forward to buy a house. During that summer vacation, he avoided everyone and didn't see anyone until he left Jingchuan. Half a year later, he has learned to heal himself and slowly walked out of the quagmire.

They sat face to face, but no one mentioned the past, but each other had their own thoughts, and they both knew that it was a dream that could not be avoided. Ding Chong asked first, "They?"

"They were all sentenced, and Wang Renzhong also instigated Chen Ling to kill him, he"

"I know that Bai Jian came with us, and he knows all the things that will happen in the future just like us. He hates me, hates me for ruining them by being an undercover agent, hates me for betraying the friendship between brothers, so do it again, he wants It caused me pain and made me pay the price, so I planned to kill my mother." Ding Chong smiled self-deprecatingly, "Actually, he is not to blame. Who can be happy when he is betrayed by a friend who has been with him for decades? Like you For a few years, I hated it until the roots of my teeth itch."

"I once doubted your identity, but you acted too much, I—" Leng Jiucheng sighed, "I blame my poor eyesight."

"I didn't kill my teammates."

"I know, on the day you remembered everything, I went back to 2021 and met the leader and he told me everything."

Since being able to return to 2021 means that Leng Jiucheng is not dead, Ding Chong was surprised, "Then how did you come back?"

Leng Jiucheng didn't speak.Yiqiao

Ding Chong understood, "You are the same as me and Bai Ren. We have already died in 2021, and God has mercy to have a chance to start again. You should stay in 2021 and live a good life."

"I can't live well in 2021."

"Why?" Ding Chong was puzzled.

"Because there is no you there, no boy waiting for me to come home at night, no passionate teenager, the one I like is in 1990, so I have to come back."

The sudden words disturbed Ding Chong, he sipped his saliva to hide his panic, "Bless you."

Leng Jiucheng smiled, "He's sitting across from me drinking."

Ding Chong put down the water glass abruptly, "I, I, I'm going to the toilet."

Qi Ding Chong didn't come back when the table was full of dishes, Leng Jiucheng drank water and waited calmly, and Ding Chong came out slowly after another 10 minutes.

"Get kicked out?"

Ding Chong: "..."

"Let's eat." Leng Jiucheng handed over the chopsticks, "I'm thinner than Xia Tian, ​​eat more."

Ding Chongshi didn't know the taste, so he had nothing to say: "How many days are you planning to stay here?"

Leng Jiucheng said lightly, "I won't go back."

"Stop being a policeman?" Ding Chong was so shocked that he forgot to eat.

Leng Jiucheng took some food for him, "The work is also transferred."

Ding Chong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where can I rent a house near here?"

"I'll accompany you to find it later."

"it is good."

After the meal, the two wandered around the streets and alleys with an empty hot water bottle, and finally found a suitable house not far from the school. They came here empty-handed. After renting the house, they went shopping again. He was a bit popular, the bed was made and it was already dark, Ding Chong wanted to leave, Leng Jiucheng stepped forward and hugged him to prevent him from leaving, "Stay with me."

"I...tomorrow" Before finishing speaking, Leng Jiucheng kissed him first, and after a while, Leng Jiucheng let go of him, and whispered in his ear: "Aunt Zhang is gone and I will be there forever. Accompany you."

Ding Chong's heart was beating wildly, he was stunned for a moment, then he raised his hand to the landlord's neck, "Do you regret it?"

Leng Jiucheng shook his head, "It is my honor to meet you again in 1990."
