soldiers in front

Sun Ji lives in Luwei Lane No. 17, and the alley gets narrower as you go deeper.Ji Zheng parked at the entrance of the alley and walked in the increasingly claustrophobic deep alley.He identified the house numbers on the doors of each house along the way, but the house numbers were old and mottled, the handwriting was illegible, and some of the house numbers had fallen off and disappeared.There are many forked roads in the deep alley, even though Ji Zheng has a good sense of direction, he still gets lost in it, so he had to knock on the doors of several families one by one and ask them where Sun Ji lived.

Most of the people who stay at home during the day are old people, women and children, and they are not very wary of a foreign tourist. Ji Zheng got the exact direction from them, and finally found a dilapidated small courtyard after turning around the three-way intersection. There is no sign on the door , Only the two numbers 17 and [-] were sprayed with paint.

Ji Zheng stood at the gate of the courtyard and took a look inside, and saw that the courtyard was empty inside and out, as if there was no one there.He first took out his mobile phone and looked at the signal. There were still three bars in the signal. He temporarily set Min Chengzhou's number as the shortcut key No. 1 to dial quickly, in case there was no time to rescue Min Chengzhou in time after the conflict with Sun Ji.

After finishing all this, he knocked on the gray mottled iron door in front of him.

The iron gate was old and creaked when knocked, making a lot of noise, which soon alarmed the people next door.

A woman holding a child stood in the cool shade of the door, looked at Ji Zheng and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Ji Zheng smiled at her before asking: "Is this Sun Ji's home?"

"Stop knocking, he's not at home."

"Where did he go?"

The woman thought for a while and suddenly asked, "What day is it today?"

"Wednesday."

The woman said: "You go to Xiaoyan Supermarket in the county farmer's market. He goes to the county every Wednesday to buy lottery tickets."

So far he has confirmed that Sun Ji is not at home, and Xiaoyan Supermarket is also within the scope given to him by Xia Bingyang, so Ji Zheng decided to go to Xiaoyan Supermarket to try his luck.Ji Zheng thanked her, returned to the alley where he parked, and drove towards the county seat.

The weather in the small town is hotter than in the city, perhaps because of the sea, the ultraviolet rays are particularly strong, and Ji Zheng, who has never been greedy for cool weather, turned up the air conditioner in the car to full blown. When he arrived at the farmer’s market, he parked the car in a dusty On the side of the road, as soon as you get off the car, you can smell the pungent smell of beef and mutton wrapped in heat waves.

Because the weather was so hot, he rolled up his shirt sleeves to his elbows and replaced his glasses with a pair of sunglasses, both for cooling and self-defense.He walked into the farmers' market full of fireworks, walked through a field of vegetable leaves and rotted soil, and asked two or three roadside stall owners before finding Xiaoyan Supermarket near the east gate.Xiaoyan Supermarket is the only sports lottery betting point in the county. Many lottery players visit every day, and the supermarket owner has set up a separate counter for these lottery players, so the lottery players who get together to buy lottery tickets can be distinguished from ordinary customers at a glance.

Ji Zheng walked into the supermarket, first glanced around in the supermarket, and soon saw a few men sitting in front of the counter in the southeast corner waiting for the ticket to be issued, but he didn't know who was Sun Ji.

Ji Zheng took out a bottle of water from the freezer and went to the cash register to check out, then took out his ID card from his pocket, facing himself, and smiled at the young woman at the cash register: "I picked up an ID card at the door, It's a man named Sun Ji, is he here?"

The young woman was sorting out the receipts, and without raising her head, she called out, "Sun Ji, come here and get your ID card!"

Ji Zheng saw a man sitting diagonally across from the lottery counter turning his head, revealing a black face with flat features and a layer of white floc over his left eye, and said to this side: "Ah?"

The woman at the cash register ignored him and concentrated on sorting out the receipt.

Ji Zheng took the opportunity to walk out of the supermarket and stood in the shade under the wall of the supermarket, just in time to see the cash register through a window.As soon as he left the supermarket, Sun Ji walked to the cashier, smoking a cigarette, and asked the woman at the cashier what happened just now.

Seeing that the man who claimed to have picked up the ID card just now had disappeared, the woman at the cash register thought that someone was playing a silly prank, cursed a few rural words, and let it go.Sun Ji went back to the counter where the lottery ticket was sold and continued to scratch the cards he hadn't finished scratching.

Ji Zheng waited outside the supermarket for half an hour before Sun Ji walked out of the supermarket after scraping off the scratch-offs, which cost hundreds of dollars.Standing at the entrance of the supermarket, Sun Ji glanced around first, one eye covered with white floc was terrifying, and then walked towards the east gate of the farmer's market with two walnuts in his hand.

Ji Zheng let him go for a few tens of meters before following him from a distance. After leaving the farmer's market, he followed him along a street, and finally came to a small hotel and a small market with roadside barbecues.Sun Ji went upstairs from the passage between the two hotels. There were no walls to block the stairs. The hotel only had three or four floors, and the fifth floor was made up of individual compartments, like a tube building outside an old residential building without walls to protect it. .

Ji Zheng stood in a restaurant diagonally opposite the hotel, watched Sun Ji go up to the fifth floor, and turned into the penultimate room on the left.Sun Ji took out the key and opened the door before entering, so Sun Ji was the only one in the room.

Ji Zheng looked at his watch and waited downstairs for about 5 minutes, guessing whether Sun Ji would come down in a while, so he crossed the road and went upstairs along the dark stairs, walked to the door that Sun Ji had just entered, and did not rush to knock The door, but glanced in through the window next to the door.

The room is very small, roughly only a living room and a bedroom. Sun Ji is sitting on a set of wooden sofas in the living room and is talking on the phone.The sound insulation of the door is not good, and Sun Ji's voice is loud and clear, so Ji Zheng clearly heard the rude swear words from his mouth.

He stood at the door and listened to a few words, and heard that Sun Ji was calling someone to discuss matters, and kept urging him to hurry up.

Ji Zheng sensed that this hut was about to be visited by people, so there was not much time left for him, so he knocked on the door decisively.

Sun Ji asked, "Who?"

Ji Zheng didn't answer. He stood at the door and silently took off his watch and put it in his trousers pocket. He didn't have much time, so he had to use coercive measures to solve it quickly.

The sound of Sun Ji kicking his slippers gradually approached, and then the door was pulled open by him with a 'click'. As soon as he stood in the door and showed his face, Ji Zheng swung a straight fist and hit his eye socket connected to the temple superior.

Sun Ji was hit hard suddenly, and quickly fell back a few steps to the wall, his mind was still buzzing, so he angrily lifted a steel pipe erected in the corner of the wall and rushed towards Ji Zheng!Ji Zheng dodged into the room, closed the door behind his back and put the bolt on the door. When he turned his head and saw Sun Ji swinging the steel pipe towards his head, he quickly took a step back to lower his center of gravity, first dodged the stick, and then Grabbing the steel pipe he was about to retract, he turned around and kicked him in the socket of the shoulder.

Half of Sun Ji's body was numb from his kick, he staggered a few steps and was about to make a comeback, when Ji Zheng kicked hard towards the crook of his leg, and immediately fell to his knees.

Ji Zheng took advantage of the situation to press up and wrapped the steel pipe in front of him from behind, pressing down on his throat tightly, preventing him from opening his mouth or moving his body.Then Ji Zheng picked up a piece of tape that was on the side coffee table, cut Sun Ji's hands behind his back and tied them with tape, and finally wrapped his mouth.

After tidying up Sun Ji, Ji Zheng got up and took a step back, first wiped off the thin layer of sweat seeping from his forehead, then dragged a low stool and sat down directly opposite Sun Ji, with a calm expression as if he hadn't just beaten him Instead of a fight, a conversation took place.

Sun Ji lay on the ground and glared at him, one white eye was more terrifying, and the other red eye was about to breathe fire.

Ji Zheng saw his doubts from his unobstructed eyes, so he said: "I am not a policeman. I came to you today to ask you something."

When Sun Ji heard that he was not a policeman, the only fear in his eyes disappeared, and he stared at him even more angrily.

Ji Zheng didn't hesitate to be stared at by him with terrifying eyes, and said his intentions calmly: "I know that you abducted and sold two children from Bailu Town in April this year, one is the daughter of the security guard of Bailu Town Middle School Qin Lisi and a dumb boy. I also know that Shi Guangkun is the next person you changed hands to. Shi Guangkun has already killed the dumb boy, and Qin Lisi may be the only one left alive now."

As he spoke, he scanned the small living room for a week, then returned to Sun Ji's face again, and said in a stern tone, "I want to know where Qin Lisi is? Who is that dumb boy?"

Sun Ji snorted coldly from his chest, mocking and disdain appeared in his eyes.

He didn't say anything, and Ji Zheng didn't continue to use violence against him, because Ji Zheng was not good at using violence, and 'severe | torture to extract a confession' seemed to be something he couldn't do.

Ji Zheng waited for half a minute, saw that he was stagnant and did not speak, suddenly got up and walked around the living room, found nothing, then went into the bedroom, 5 minutes later, he brought out a black plastic bag, and put the plastic bag out with a sound Throw it to the ground, revealing stacks of bright red hundred-dollar bills inside.

Sun Ji glared at him, not yet knowing what he wanted to do.

Ji Zheng poured all the banknotes in the bag on the ground, and those half-old banknotes were so red that they seemed to ooze blood.

He suddenly felt that the money was dirty, took out a paper towel from his pocket and wiped his hands vigorously, then picked up a lighter on the coffee table, fired the flight, and lit a cluster of flames.He looked at Sun Ji in the light and shadow of the flames, his stern and deep face flickered in and out of the flames, but his deep pool-like eyes were like ice that would not be melted by the fire.

Sun Ji met his eyes, suddenly felt fear, and vaguely guessed what he wanted to do.

Ji Zheng squatted on the ground, picked up a banknote, put it on the flames and lit a corner, and the flames immediately swallowed the entire banknote.

He threw the burning banknotes in front of Sun Ji, and said coldly, "Whenever you answer my question, I will stop." After speaking, he picked up another stack of banknotes and lit them all up.

Sun Ji looked at the banknotes that were burned to ashes in a blink of an eye, trembling with anger, and a low growl sounded from his throat.

Ji Zheng didn't want to spend too much time on him, seeing that he still didn't intend to speak, he simply piled up the remaining stacks of banknotes, hung a lighter in the gap between the banknotes, and looked up at Sun Ji: " Mr Sun, I'm not a cop, you want money and I want the truth. It's a deal."

It's just using Sun Ji's money to trade with Sun Ji.

Sun Ji's face became hesitant, seemingly touched.

Ji Zheng waited for him for a few seconds, seeing that he was still hesitant, so he simply lit all the remaining banknotes from the middle, and flames suddenly burst out in front of him.

"woo woo woo woo!"

Sun Ji knocked his head on the floor crazily, his eyeballs were so tense that they almost burst.

Ji Zheng glanced at him, separated the piles of banknotes that had been burnt from the other banknotes that survived, got up and stepped on the fire with his feet a few times, the fire was quickly extinguished, and the room was filled with ashes from the burnt banknotes.

Sun Jilei was lying on his side on the floor as if paralyzed, panting heavily from his nostrils, staring at Ji Zheng angrily.

Ji Zheng stepped over a pile of banknotes, squatted in front of Sun Ji, tore off the tape on his mouth, and asked, "Where is the child?"

At this time, Sun Ji had already recognized the situation. If he did not cooperate with Ji Zheng, the property he had accumulated over the years would really be burned to ashes. He stared at Ji Zheng and took a few breaths before gritted his teeth and said, "Dead."

Ji Zheng said: "I know that boy is dead, I'm asking about Qin Lisi."

A strange look suddenly appeared on Sun Ji's face, and he asked him, "You still don't know?"

Ji Zheng's heart sank suddenly, he vaguely knew it, but he preferred not to know, and asked: "What?"

Sun Ji laughed strangely: "The security guard's daughter is that dumb boy."

Perhaps because of a vague premonition in his heart, Ji Zheng was not surprised when he heard the truth from him, but was silent for a moment, and a gloomy blue color quickly appeared in his eyes, and said: "You have poisoned Qin Lisi?"

Sun Ji said: "Girl dolls are worthless, but the door-to-door business is not for nothing. We made the security guard's daughter dumb and shaved her hair into a small crew cut, and then sold her for the price of a boy doll."

So it turned out that the dumb boy he had been looking for for so long was the same person as Qin Lisi whom Xia Bingyang had been looking for for so long.

Ji Zheng felt that it was extremely absurd, but also extremely real, and what he was facing at this time was such a real absurdity.

"What do you mean by door-to-door business?"

"We didn't abduct her, on the contrary, we saved her life."

Ji Zheng didn't speak, waiting for him to speak.

Sun Ji raised his head and spat on the wall, and said, "It's all about this, so I'll give you a reason. I didn't kidnap that girl, but a brother in my town gave it to me. "

"The person you're talking about is Zhai Wengang?"

"Heh, you know quite a lot."

Sun Ji paused, then continued: "That's right, it was Zhai Wengang. He entrusted the security guard's daughter to me and made the girl dumb and pretended to be a boy. It was also his idea."

"Why do you say you saved Qin Lisi's life?"

"Because when Zhai Wen first discovered the girl, she was almost drowned."

"Where did you find it?"

"At the foot of the mountain on the east side of Changling Mountain."

east?The east is the back of the mountain, and the foot of the east is naturally the sea.

Ji Zheng asked: "Zhai Wengang found Qin Lisi at the beach?"

"Yes, I was going to feed the fish, but she was so desperate that a wave sent her to the shore again."

Regarding the reason behind Qin Lisi's disappearance, although Ji Zheng didn't know much about it, he also remembered that Xia Bingyang told him that Qin Lisi went up the mountain with Liu Changran and others before she disappeared, and they went to Changling Mountain. But now Sun Ji told him that Qin Lisi was almost drowned at the foot of the mountain on the east side of Changling Mountain.

What's going on? Didn't Qin Lisi go down the mountain?How could it appear at the seaside?

Ji Zheng was distracted for a moment, but at the moment when he was distracted, Sun Ji broke the tape that bound his wrist, got up and rushed out the door.

Ji Zheng ran after him, saw Sun Ji's back turning into the stairs, and went downstairs like the wind.Ji Zheng followed closely behind, shortening the distance with him quickly, and followed him on several steps behind him in an instant.

Sun Ji saw that he was chasing him closely, so he ran even more fiercely. He got out of the stairs and ran to the road in a panic.

As soon as Ji Zheng chased under the eaves of the door, he saw a large truck with four fronts and four rears coming from the east of the road. The front of the truck hit Sun Ji, and the huge impact force threw Sun Ji's body high and fell down hard.Sun Ji's body drew a parabola in the air, and then fell heavily on the hard and hot ground, a pool of bright red blood quickly flowed from his body.

Trucks that braked suddenly, panicked passers-by, and pedestrians who quickly surrounded them paralyzed the road section where the accident occurred.

Ji Zheng stood on the side of the road, watching the scene unfolding in front of him, and watched a taxi stop beside Sun Ji, and then several men worked together to lift Sun Ji into the taxi, and the taxi carried Sun Ji Ji drove in the direction of the county hospital.

He stood still and watched the taxi turn around the intersection and left behind a trail of loess dust, then raised his wrist and looked at his watch as if remembering something.

It is now 53:7, 10 minutes before Sun Ji was sent to the county hospital for rescue, and [-] hours, [-], [-] minutes before Sun Ji's death.He has been buying time and trying to get clues from Sun Ji before Sun Ji's accident, but he never thought that it was his appearance that caused Sun Ji's accidental death.

It wasn't until now that he realized that the distance between him and Xia Bingyang was not only six years, but a history that could never be changed.
