Swallowing the Seas

Zhang Zhixing and Wu Yu looked at each other, and slowly got up, Wu Yu staggered, leaned against the wall and walked out of the concrete pillar panting.

Lin Hao stood at the junction of darkness and shadow, with a cold and hard light reflected from the muzzle of the gun, pointing straight at Wu Yu, but he said to Zhang Zhixing: "Even if this person is injured, don't take it lightly. Professor, come here. Get away from him."

Zhang Zhixing was at a loss, subconsciously looked at Wu Yu, but saw that Wu Yu's expressionless cheeks were tense.

"..." Zhang Zhixing's unstoppable panting could only be heard around him. After a while, he finally moved, but he didn't go directly to Lin Hao's side, but stepped back a few steps in a triangular shape, scanning the two of them back and forth: "You guys What are you doing? What is the truth of the matter?!"

Lin Hao turned a deaf ear to Zhang Zhixing's questioning, squinted his eyes and looked at Wu Yu, and said slowly, "Six o'clock."

"Zhang Boming fell from the building at six o'clock. The location was very ingenious. No pedestrians passed by in a bush behind the hospital building. Until nearly 26:[-], a doctor who got off work to pick up his car found blood on the ground. It was only then that Zhang Boming's dead body was discovered, and his screams attracted great attention. When I got the news, I immediately broke into your ward at [-]:[-]."

"The forensic doctor finally determined the time of Zhang Boming's death to be within 10 minutes, that is, from 16:26 to 6:[-], which means you have [-] to [-] minutes to clean up the scene, go back to the ward, and pretend that nothing happened. It’s like——for ordinary people, this time is limited, but it’s not a problem for you, painter.” Lin Hao sneered: “A veteran murderer like you may not even need [-] minutes.”

Wu Yu said hoarsely: "I didn't see that note at all, and I didn't know that I would go to the rooftop at six o'clock to find Zhang Boming. You are the one who has the motive to murder him!"

"Do you have a way to prove that you didn't see that note?"

"you……"

"I have," Lin Hao said lightly.

He held the gun in one hand without letting go, while the other hand reached into the inner breast pocket of his coat, and under the astonished gazes of Wu Yu and Zhang Zhixing, he pulled out half a piece of paper, which burst into flames.

"I still keep the note that Zhang Boming stuffed in the door of your ward, and a handwriting test can tell the authenticity." There was a mocking look in his eyes: "—I didn't expect that?"

"!!" Zhang Zhixing's pupils dilated rapidly and trembled, staring straight at the half of the paper.

Wu Yu laughed absurdly, although it was extremely short because of the pain: "If this piece of paper could really be accepted by the investigation team, you should have shown it a year ago. The reason why you didn't dare to take it back then was because you I know best in my heart that I have never read this piece of paper, and I don’t even know the original words and sentences on the paper. As long as I take it out, I will definitely refute and argue fiercely, which will only increase your suspicion, and you are the one who really dare not talk to the investigation team The one who confronted him!"

Lin Hao said: "I really couldn't bring you down back then, but the situation is different now. The evidence of Bu Chonghua's drug trafficking, murder, and prison escape is solid. A little investigation into your relationship with Bu Chonghua will reveal the truth. If I put this A piece of paper was submitted to the Ministry of Public Security as evidence, do you think they still believe that you have no knowledge?"

Zhang Zhixing suddenly turned his head and looked at Wu Yu, "What's your relationship with Bu Chonghua?!" Almost blurted out.

Wu Yu shook his head, took half a step back, and leaned his back against the concrete pillar.It was already difficult for him to even keep standing, but his expression did not show any panic of being exposed, and he looked at Lin Hao with even a little pity: "Do you think I took the soil sample from your wheel?"

"What?" Lin Hao was taken aback.

"No, it's Jiang Ting."

Zhang Zhixing didn't know what happened yet, but Lin Hao was enlightened, and his expression changed drastically!

"Yes, you guessed right. Jiang Ting has been staying at the Jinhai City Public Security Bureau, which means that the results of the comparison and identification of the soil samples by the technical team have come out, instructing the kidnappers to drive over me and Bu Chonghua, and It was you who kidnapped us and Peng Wan and put them in a secret room." Wu Yu looked at him and shook his head, with a bit of mocking regret: "Do you still want to continue arguing with me here whether the investigation team can accept this note? Now the investigation team probably has entered your house."

This is simply a one-shot kill, even Zhang Zhixing never expected it, Lin Hao blurted out angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?! I don't have any—"

"No motive? No, you have."

Wu Yu coughed, and laughed while coughing. The laughter was more uncomfortable than crying: "Ten years ago, Zhang Boming was greedy for success and ignored my distress signal, which caused me to be in danger of being exposed. But why did I Will you be in danger of being exposed? Who broke the news to Thayer and the others that there are undercover agents in the drug gang?"

Lin Hao said, "How could I..."

"Ten years later, Bu Chonghua and I were kidnapped by a car crash on an abandoned highway in an industrial area. The kidnapper left behind a charred body. The fingerprint DNA matched that of a fugitive in a drug trafficking case in Daxing County ten years ago. The fugitive had once Employed by the 'Tea Horse Road'. Do you think I'd consider that a coincidence?"

"you!"

"That's not a coincidence," Wu Yu interrupted Lin Hao mercilessly again, saying, "I didn't understand the key to it until now."

"Ten years ago, I discovered that the drug trafficking case in Daxing County involved online drug trafficking. I found out about the 'Tea Horse Ancient Road' and reported the existence of this website to the special intelligence team. That was the first time that the Tea Horse Ancient Road appeared in the Ministry of Public Security. In the field of vision. After you learned about this, you immediately airborne the Special Forces, and only three months later, I encountered a crisis of exposure in the operation to capture Arthur Hodgson."

"——Everything is not a coincidence, it was carefully designed to silence you, and the real murderer is you." Wu Yu stared at Lin Hao's blue and white face: "More than ten years ago, the Internet was not well developed in China. Setting up a dark net drug trafficking website under such circumstances, and possessing strong anti-net police investigation capabilities, this is not something ordinary people can do, only you, Lin Hao."

"You are the real operator of the Ancient Tea Horse Road."

As if an invisible bomb exploded in the void, Lin Hao's face was indescribable for a moment, and then he slammed angrily: "Nonsense! I followed you to investigate Bu Chonghua! The suspicious points of Peng Wan's case, Peng Wan and the Bu family blood feud-"

The muzzle of his gun tilted subconsciously due to excitement, and at this moment Wu Yu jumped forward like lightning, the muzzle went off with a bang, and the bullet sent dust flying on the wall!

Zhang Zhixing immediately retreated behind the concrete pillar with his head in his arms, the next bullet roared, and the lime fragments exploded in response.Lin Hao was pinned to the ground by Wu Yu, and he wanted to pull the trigger during the scuffle, but Wu Yu gritted his teeth and grabbed his hand and slammed it violently. The corner!

"Fuck!" Lin Hao only had time to utter a word through his teeth, turned over to grab the gun, but Wu Yu took the first step, and hit Lin Hao's knee hard with his elbow while still on the ground—that was like a ghost. Unbelievable angle and speed, Lin Hao fell to his knees on the spot, and kicked Wu Yu several times, struggling and chaotic like two trapped beasts fighting together to the death!

Zhang Zhixing was stunned and puzzled. He hid behind the cover and looked around. He couldn't see the movements of the two of them clearly in the darkness. Wu Yu kicked Lin Hao back a few steps, leaning on the wall of the building's floor-to-ceiling window frame and staggered to his feet. Suddenly bowed and choked——

He has reached the end of his strength.

At this moment, Lin Hao rushed up with red eyes, and was about to knock Wu Yu down the stairs!

Zhang Zhixing dug his nails firmly into the wall, and the next scene was reflected in his widened eyes:

In the blink of an eye, Wu Yu used all his strength to grab Lin Hao who was rushing towards him. Maybe he wanted to push him to the side, but under the influence of incomparable chaos and inertia, he could only hear the rubble of rubble all over the ground. The whole person slid down the window sill——

"!!"

As if the stop button of the movie was suddenly pressed, Zhang Zhixing was stunned instantly, and Wu Yu was also stunned, and all the images froze abruptly.

Boom!There was a muffled sound, the heavy sound of the body falling to the ground came from downstairs, as clear as thunder.

"..."

There was a long dead silence around, without any movement or sound, as if all the air was sucked into a vacuum in an instant.

I don't know how long it took before the noise on the street in the distance finally seeped out of the vacuum bit by bit, rushing in like a rising tide, and became extraordinarily clear.

Zhang Zhixing couldn't believe it was over so easily.He walked out of the pillar step by step, walked through the gravel-filled hall as if sleepwalking, stood on the edge of the cement platform and looked down, and saw the abandoned construction site where he could not see his fingers. humanoid.

That was Lin Hao.

he died.

"Huh...huh..."

Wu Yu's heavy panting sounded from behind him, he staggered back, and picked up something from the ground - Zhang Zhixing turned his head like an electric shock, and found that it was the half piece of paper that Lin Hao dropped during the fight!

【I've thought it over clearly. I'll wait for you on the rooftop at six o'clock. I'm willing to discuss this matter with you. 】

【Zhang Boming】

Zhang Zhixing's face changed slightly, and just as he was about to reach out to take it, Wu Yu folded the note and put it into his inner breast pocket, exhausted, and said, "I'll bring it to Bureau Song and the others for handwriting identification, it should be Zhang Boming's pendant. The important evidence of Lou Yi's case, although it is meaningless now."

He actually wants to use it for handwriting identification? !

Zhang Zhixing stared at Wu Yu's pale and bleeding face, the thoughts in his head turned rapidly, and he managed to force out his voice: "In my opinion, it's better to tear up this piece of paper."

Wu Yu was startled: "What?"

"It's like this, look." Zhang Zhixing settled down under Wu Yu's puzzled gaze, and his tone became calm: "Except for the two of us, no one who is alive now knows the existence of this piece of paper, and Lin Hao What you did is naturally supported by other evidence. This piece of paper is not good for you, and I don't want to make troubles, so in order to protect you..."

Wu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't take it seriously: "There is no advantage or disadvantage, and I didn't kill people."

"Aren't you afraid that they will suspect that you are the one who went up to the rooftop with Zhang Boming?!" Zhang Zhixing asked with a frown.

Unexpectedly, Wu Yu shook his head: "The fundamental reason why Lin Hao wants to silence Zhang Boming is not the so-called collective honor, but because he is afraid that the investigation team will enter the special case and expose that he uses the special case network resources to operate the tea horse." The facts of the ancient road. This note is a major breakthrough in the case. Once it is confirmed that there is something wrong with Zhang Boming’s death, the investigation team can go to Lin Fang’s house to check his computer. The series of cases of falling from the building, Peng Wan's murder, and Bu Chonghua and I being kidnapped to the secret room have all been solved, and he was the real culprit who was crucified."

Zhang Zhixing stood there in a daze.

"What I can't figure out is why he took so much trouble to attack Peng Wan. It's a secret room and kidnapping. If he really wants to kill her, he can create an accident and solve it cleanly and directly." Wu Yu walked to the window sill and held her hand. Leaning against the wall, he leaned forward and looked downstairs: "But I guess the answer may have something to do with Qin Chuan. Now that Lin Hao is dead, we can only wait for Qin Chuan to be caught before interrogating him slowly."

"...Xie Xing."

"Ok?"

Zhang Zhixing stood behind him and asked, "What should we do now?"

"Call the police." Wu Yu lowered his head and covered his wound, coughed hoarsely, and then groped and took out his mobile phone: "My injury can't last anymore, I must call 120 immediately, and I will trouble you when the police arrive later -"

Before the words fell, a strong force came from behind, and Wu Yu was caught off guard and rushed forward!

This turn of events came too unexpectedly, Wu Yu had no shelter in front of him, and the hand that was holding on to the window frame had already been withdrawn to cover the wound. This push caused him to fall directly out of the French window sill, and his feet were empty—— —

Whoa!

In the nick of time, Wu Yu reflexively grabbed backwards and grabbed the scaffolding like lightning, because the steel bars "bang! Bang!" two heavy impacts under the huge momentum, instantly hanging him in the air!

Wu Yu was holding onto the steel pipe tightly with only one hand, hanging in danger outside the building, looking up in disbelief.

Inside the window sill on the floor, Zhang Zhixing looked down at him expressionlessly, a pair of old eyes flickered in the shadows, the panic, shock and confusion just now disappeared like a mask in the blink of an eye.

"……why……"

Zhang Zhixing squatted on the ground, looked down at Wu Yu's shocked face, and asked slowly: "I have already asked you to tear up this piece of paper, why didn't you listen?"

"..."

"I really didn't want to kill you, and it was completely unnecessary, if you didn't insist on taking that note for handwriting identification."

The cold wind swept through the air, Wu Yu closed his eyes forcefully, as if trying to figure out the unthinkable cause and effect, when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were filled with despair and anger: "...It's you."

Zhang Zhixing smiled slightly.

"That piece of paper was not Zhang Boming at all, it was written by you. After you came out of Zhang Boming's ward, you went upstairs and stuffed the note into the crack of my ward door. When Lin Hao went down to question Zhang Boming with the note, he I recognized you as your father by looking at the handwriting on the note, but out of a cover for you, he admitted on the spot that the note was left by himself, so after his death, Lin Hao and I did not suspect you at all."

"Zhang Boming was the only one who went up to the rooftop at six o'clock in the afternoon that day, and he went up to meet you." Bloodshot eyes gradually appeared in Wu Yu's eyes, and he said word by word through his teeth: "But he never expected that you In order to cover up what I did... I actually pushed my own son down the stairs..."

"It's not me!" Zhang Zhixing's calm expression was suddenly broken, and he roared angrily, "He died because of you!"

Wu Yu gritted his teeth and stared at him, only to see Zhang Zhixing's hand gripping the window frame with veins bulging out of rage: "The person I wanted to deal with that day was you, but I didn't expect that it was him who went upstairs! He said he had thought it over clearly. , decided to report me to the Special Affairs Team, it doesn’t matter if I ruin my future or even pay any price! During the dispute, he fell off the edge of the roof, and I wanted to save him! But it’s too late, too late!!”

"..." Wu Yu repeated mutteringly: "He said he's going to the special case team to report you."

Absurdity, sarcasm, sadness, and helplessness came to Wu Yu's throat at the same time, causing Wu Yu's throat to convulse, "No wonder Zhang Boming told Lin Hao that he was hypocritical and incompetent. It turned out that he realized it at the time, and he already knew that you were the one behind the scenes—" —”

He knew why he didn't see Wu Yu's distress signal ten years ago, and he also knew why his father rushed to put the painter to death.

But he didn't dare to tell Wu Yu at that time.

He knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, crying for the heroic soul who sacrificed innocently, and also crying for his cowardice and despicableness that he did not dare to expose his father.

No one in this world will ever know what Zhang Boming was thinking during those two hours, and how much family affection, righteousness, moral condemnation and conscience questioning took up in his intense psychological struggle.But two hours later, when he saw the note in Lin Hao's hand, all the struggles were unimportant - he realized that if he chose to be a silent accomplice, his father would kill Wu Yu.It doesn't matter whether Wu Yu knows the truth, as long as he is alive, he himself is the evidence for all Zhang Zhixing's crimes!

So Zhang Boming made a decision regardless of everything. He went up to the roof alone when the six o'clock agreed on the note came, in order to tell Zhang Zhixing that he already knew all the truth and would do everything possible to expose this biological father!

"...you are the one who hid the distress signal," Wu Yu said softly with hot blood in his mouth, "you are the one behind the scenes of the ancient tea-horse road."

Zhang Zhixing's eyes were red, but he still stared at Wu Yu, unmoved in the slightest: "You may not know that my son has tried his best to protect you until the last moment. But that doesn't matter anymore."

He stood up, walked to the other corner to pick up the gun that Lin Yu had knocked down before, returned to the French window sill and pointed at Wu Yu who was hanging in mid-air, then the muzzle of the gun moved slightly, aiming at the gun that Wu Yu was holding tightly. That steel pipe:

"If you had tore up the note just now, nothing would happen now. You didn't have to die."

Wu Yu's dilated pupils reflected the muzzle of the gun, and Zhang Zhixing's index finger pointed towards the trigger:

"Farewell, painter."

--boom!
