Criminal Investigation: Three Points Wildfire

=====================

In a dark and empty basement, in a cold iron cage.

The cage is not small, about five square meters in size, a bit like an iron cage for large animals in a container. Xie Yu and Yue Long each occupy one end, and they are tensely hostile to each other.

This is the first time for Xie Yu to observe Yue Long so closely.

His impression of Yue Long has always been in the summer ten years ago, the hot weather, the steaming temperature, the murderer who broke in suddenly, tall, bloody, cruel and terrifying.

This person seems to be a mixture of all the negative adjectives in the world, appearing in Xie Yu's dream every night, washing Xie Yu's flesh and blood over and over again, as long as he thinks of it, Xie Yu will be out of control Hold the rage rolling in his chest.

Maybe it was because the hatred was so deep that when this person really appeared, Xie Yu couldn't believe it.

The Yue Long he imagined should be a strong, fierce tall man with a face full of flesh and scars, and when he looked at people, he had a three-point evil spirit, similar to Chen Zhao.

But the man huddled across the cage was very stooped, with gray hair, and a nervous expression. When he huddled in the corner of the cage, he would always look up at Xie Yu. His eyes were cloudy and he looked old. He looked like a farmer who had suffered half his life and was tired for half his life, with a vaguely pitiful attitude of an old man.

Xie Yu stared at him, clenched the knife in his hand.

He and Yue Long each had a knife in their hands.

The knife was thrown to them by the clown after they entered the cage. Before the two of them entered the cage, they watched each other swallow a key. The clown said that the key could open the lock of the cage.

And this cage, within half an hour, will sink into the water below, and they will be drowned alive.

If you want to escape, you have to take out the key from the opponent's stomach.

To open each other's stomachs, the only tool is the knife in their hands.

Xie Yu clenched the dagger in his hand, feeling terrified of the clown's mischief.

He refused to make a wish to the clown, which angered the clown, so the clown changed his mind.

From the fact that the clown kidnapped him without getting a response from him, it can be judged that the clown is a very aggressive and controlling person. If things do not develop in the direction he imagined, he will use coercive means.

For example, Xie Yu ignored the note he sent over, and he directly tied the person here.

Another example, Xie Yu refused to make a wish, so he left Xie Yu and the murderer in a desperate situation, forcing him to do it himself.

Xie Yu guessed that the clown's identity should be inseparable from the police. Just the information about Yue Long and his mother's case that the clown got from the clown can guess that the clown must have the identity and channels to get close to the police.

Moreover, the clown is not alone, Xie Yu prefers that the clown is a team, a team assembled for "revenge", crazy but orderly, pitiful and hateful.

The clown is divided into two parts, with clear distinctions. One part unscrupulously vents his desire to kill, and the other part abides by the rules. These two contradictory parts are intertwined, and a clown full of evil tastes is formed.

The murderous part is that all bad guys are prey.

The part of abiding by the rules is that as long as this person has not made a wish or killed anyone, the clown will not hurt him, just like Xie Yu at this time, he is still alive after rejecting the clown.

At this time, the clown's bad taste comes in handy.

Let the two of them kill each other, it sounds like fun.

It was the first time for Xie Yu to face such a situation in his life. His fingers were so cold and stiff that he almost couldn't feel the existence of the knife in his hand.

Suddenly, the person at the other end of the cage moved. The cage was originally suspended in mid-air by an iron chain. When the other person moved, the cage suddenly "creaked" and swayed.

Xie Yu almost reflexively blocked the knife in front of him.

He didn't realize until he moved his arms that his body was always tense, from his arms to his calves so tight that it was almost painful.

Compared to his nervousness and preparedness, Yue Long sitting opposite seemed much more relaxed and natural. He even put the knife between his legs casually, as if he would not use it, and rubbed it cautiously. Rubbing his hands together, he asked tentatively, "I heard from them that you are Xie Yu?"

Xie Yu didn't respond.

At that time, they were in a dark enclosed space, and every small sound would be amplified. The two occupied one side of the cage. They could not see very clearly in the dark, and could only vaguely see each other's face, and Feel the opponent's movement through the shaking of the cage.

"I, I heard them say it when I was arrested by them." Yue Long had a sad face on his face. When he frowned, the wrinkles on his face were all crowded together. He seemed to have a simple and simple feeling. The voice was also very soft, and hesitatingly spit out: "They all said that I killed someone and wanted me to pay for it, but it wasn't me, it really wasn't me."

As he spoke, he rubbed his hands. He didn't know whether it was cold or nervous. He looked at Xie Yu with a little flattery in his eyes: "I didn't kill anyone. I did something wrong before. I sold bad things, but at that time I was short of money, I sold some, and knowing that I was about to be arrested, I ran away, and ran into a ravine, stayed for a long time, and never dared to come out."

Yue Long seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be explaining to Xie Yu. He probably had a heavy cigarette addiction, his voice was hoarse, and his teeth were smudged yellow. After that, he retracted it again, folded his hands together, and continued to rub, saying while rubbing: "I really never killed anyone, I heard them say, you, when you were young, anyway...it wasn't me."

Yue Long's voice echoed softly in the silent basement, occasionally coughing twice, slowly telling Xie Yu about his misery of the past ten years.

"I'm really just a pony boy. Although I have done wrong things before, I dare not kill anyone. I—ah!"

"Bang—creak, clatter!"

The iron cage suddenly dropped an inch.

5 minutes have passed.

The clown said before that every 5 minutes, the cage will lower down a little bit.

They have only half an hour to save themselves.

Both Xie Yu and Yue Long froze.

The guillotine of death stood on the heads of both of them, and no one could sit here peacefully and reminisce about the old days. The only way was to find the key and unlock the lock.

Yue Long seemed to be very afraid that Xie Yu would kill him, he hurriedly waved his arms, and said loudly: "It's really not me, it's not me, the clown caught the wrong person! We, maybe we don't have to cut the abdomen, I can vomit come out!"

With that said, Yue Long began to scratch his throat with his hands.

He seemed to be trying to spit out the keys in his stomach, he worked very hard, the sound of his vomiting could be heard in the whole basement, he seemed eager to save himself, and he didn't even care about Xie Yu.

While he was doing this, Xie Yu was quietly watching from the side.

From Xie Yu's point of view, one can see the profile of Yue Long trying to pick his throat, and when his fingers are stuck in his throat, he will involuntarily vomit, and the expression on his face will not be very good-looking. His muscles trembled violently, making his face look a bit hideous.

"Small, child." After vomiting, Yue Long coughed twice, and persuaded Xie Yu anxiously: "You can try it too? Me, I can't vomit anything. I don't want to die. I really don't want to die." Kill your family members, kid, our priority now is to escape, after we escape, I will follow you to the police station!"

Xie Yu sat quietly, neither speaking nor responding.

It's not that he doesn't want to pick it out, but he can't pick it out.

He didn't eat the key at all.

The clown said to the two of them that they both ate a key and stuffed it into their stomachs. In fact, the clown did not give Xie Yu the key, but a small metal keychain and stuffed it into Xie Yu's stomach inside.

When the clown did this, he didn't let Yue Long see it. Yue Long couldn't see the key from his angle, but could only see that Xie Yu had indeed eaten something, so Yue Long thought that both of them ate the key.

Before going in, the clown smiled very badly at Xie Yu.

He probably thought of Yue Long digging up Xie Yu's stomach, but found nothing, and the cage was still sinking under the water.

Or, he also thought of the picture of Xie Yu digging open Yue Long's stomach and taking out the key to unlock the lock.

No matter who survived in the end, it was enough to make the clown happy.

As for the key, naturally there is only one key, which is in Yue Long's stomach.

Yue Long really ate it, that's why he buckled it so hard, but he couldn't get it out at all.

If he wanted to survive, he had to dig out the key from Yue Long's stomach.

But when he said this at this time, Yue Long might not believe it, so let's stabilize Yue Long for now.

Xie Yu exhaled wearily, pinched the center of his brows, and looked up at the lock.

The lock was between the two of them, Xie Yu got up and walked towards the lock, as soon as Xie Yu moved, Yue Long immediately followed suit, hurriedly picked up the knife in his hand, and stood in front of him, tense Looking at Xie Yu.

Xie Yu frowned slightly, then walked over slowly, and said as he walked, "I'll take a look at the lock, don't worry, I won't hurt you."

Yue Long heaved a sigh of relief, and bowed his head and said, "Yes, yes, it's not me, the person you're looking for is not me, and you shouldn't kill me."

Xie Yu didn't hurt Yue Long, but it had nothing to do with Yue Long's denial.

No matter who is sitting here today, he will not cut open the other person's stomach.

If he wanted Yue Long to die, he would have contacted the clown when the clown sent him a note in the first place.

He had figured it out a long time ago.

He has seen the real sun, so he naturally disdains the poor imitator of the clown.

No matter how righteous the clown pretends to be, he can't cover up the fact that he is covered in blood.

Only the weak would pray for the clown's "divine punishment".

The law he wants, the fairness he wants, he will find it himself.

His refusal to make a wish is not cowardly, the cowardly ones are those who have made a wish, they bow their heads to a little bit of ups and downs, give up their precious lives, cut off their own souls, and turn from a free, upright person into a pool of rotten meat, Give up fighting, turn to pray to others, and call yourself "making a wish" by the name.

What kind of wish is this?

The real wish is to fly in the sunshine, send criminals to prison with one's own hands, let all the truth come to light, and let the bones of unjustly died see the light again.

Then, be born again.

Instead of wearing a mask like a maggot, coaxing those mentally unsound minors to make a wish.

Thinking about it, Xie Yu reached out and touched the lock.

The lock was very thick and heavy, soaked in the cold winter air, it was cold when touched by his fingers, Xie Yu's fingers were a little numb, he pinched the lock, thinking how to unlock it.

He didn't have any tools in his hand, only a knife, and the tip of the knife naturally couldn't unlock the lock.

Just as Xie Yu was carefully observing the lock, he suddenly felt something was wrong, it was too quiet, there was no movement at all, and in a flash, he suddenly jumped to the right rear.

"Dang" sound of dull metal collision echoed throughout the whole place. Xie Yu fell to the ground unsteadily. He raised his head and saw a dagger hitting the iron fence.

Yue Long still had that simple and honest face, when Xie Yu avoided him, Xie Yu could clearly see a trace of regret on his face.

"You're so smart." Yue Long sighed for a long time, and continued to say with a simple and honest elder's posture: "My child, I can't help it."
