lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Poyun!

Time seems to freeze in the ward. The pale walls, hospital beds, and glass windows have all turned into twisted reflectors, reflecting the bizarre, dizzying white light.

Wow----

The sound of metal cuffs broke the deadly silent confrontation. Li Yuxin's hands kept shaking, and the whole person seemed to fall apart immediately. It took several minutes before the sound of teeth fighting intermittently uttered a sentence: "...You... ...How...know..."

"Do you think that as long as you conceal the truth about He Liang's death, you will be fine after you go out after you have been in jail for stealing these months, right?"

"..."

Jiang Ting leaned down and whispered in her ear: "It's early midsummer, and July is not yet young. This sentence means that in the evening of mid-July, a brilliant and splendid sunset is at 8:09 in a certain place. Falling down, announcing the end of the youth, the moment of punishment, and the long night that followed is the entire execution process.——Do you think that the punishment of killing He Liang is over? No, far from it. Why don't you think about why it started from the beginning? Is it you who was chosen?"

"..."

Li Yuxin's beautiful face was pale and scary, and she couldn't help but lose her breath as soon as she uttered a word, but then Jiang Xing forcefully grabbed her hand.

Jiang Ting's three fingers were still wrapped in gauze, and Li Yuxin's hand was also injured in the struggle. Two equally white, slender and scarred hands clasped each other tightly, giving the illusion of holding the right hand tightly with the left hand in a trance.

"Tell me," he said, "I will take you out of this nightmare, otherwise you will never escape from those people in your life."

"No..." Li Yuxin whispered hurriedly, "It's probably me..."

"I'm not the first...I am ahead of me, still, there is..."

Jiang Ting's eyes flashed.

The metal chain jingle, it was Li Yuxin who held Jiang Ting’s finger harder, as if he had gained unspeakable courage from this action:

"But the...two people in front of me, they both...are dead."

Dead.

Both people were killed.

As if day and night are reversed, the scene changes. Everything around the ward receded from the girl's eyes, and the images repeated countless times in the nightmare gradually encroached on the field of vision and swallowed all the senses.

It was the golden red sunset sinking into the horizon, the night rising from the end of the wilderness, and He Liang, who was tied up, knelt on the ground shivering.

Looking ghosts surrounded the open space, and the girl holding the knife had so weak legs that she was forced to stand up.

"Go and kill him," said a smiling voice in his ear.

"No...No..."

"This coward betrayed you for his own life and must be punished."

"Please, let us go, please..."

"Go and kill him, otherwise you will hold hands with him and lie underground."

"I can't do it, please, please!..."

The crying girl was forcibly turned her head. Not far away, under the dirt pit, two decomposed corpses were holding hands and cuddling with each other. Their hollow eye sockets were facing the sky, and blackened internal organs and maggots were faintly visible in the bones.

"Look, this is what you can't do." The voice was still smiling, always seeming to be very happy, and said: "You will bear the punishment together."

You will bear the penalty together--

The girl cried bitterly, her heart-piercing wailing rose from the wilderness to the sky, gradually turning into the same voice as the desperate choking in the ward:

"I don't want to kill people, I don't want to kill He Liang, why is it me?"

"We have to be punished for any mistakes we made. I don't know, I really don't know..."

"You didn't do anything wrong," Jiang Ting wiped the tears from the girl's face, and whispered: "Listen, when I call the police in, the part about how He Liang was killed. , You know how to say it."

"I, I don't dare," Li Yuxin sobbed: "I really don't dare, I--"

Jiang Ting said: "You dare. He Liang was indeed killed by you, but he has no proof. No one can prove that you were indeed coerced without catching the kidnapper. Do you want to be intimidated by someone else's crimes? Sit in prison for a lifetime?"

Li Yuxin shook her head like crazy.

"Then do you want to go back to school and ask the police to apply for merit recognition for you and restore your reputation in front of all relatives, friends, teachers, and schools?"

"..."

Li Yuxin paled, following Jiang Ting's soft and low voice, as if being bewitched, she nodded at a loss after a long while.

Jiang Ting said: "Then you know what to do."

He was about to stand up, when Li Yuxin grabbed a straw and pulled him hard: "Police officer, you—why are you helping me?"

Jiang Ting didn't answer right away, he couldn't distinguish his anger, he turned his head and looked out of the hospital bed after a long while.

Through the glass window, I saw Yan Xiu standing in the corridor calling from a distance. It is impossible to hear the movement here.

"...Because the target he really wanted to execute was not He Liang, nor Shen Xiaoqi." Jiang Ting faced Li Yuxin's cold ears, and his voice was so small that only each other could hear: "I am the one who betrayed him." /

Li Yuxin's pupils suddenly widened.

The voice that is always calm, calm and familiar came from the phone: "It's not He Liang, nor Shen Xiaoqi...I am the one who betrayed him."

There was a click in the corridor behind him, Yan Xiu turned his head and saw Jiang Ting standing at the door of the open ward, and said to him concisely: "Come in, she is willing to explain."

"Oh, okay." Yan Xi had no abnormalities on his face, and hurriedly said to the phone: "Continue to search and rescue to keep in touch. I will contact you as soon as I have news." Then he pressed a button and installed the phone. Back to his pocket, he walked a few steps forward and hooked Jiang Ting's shoulder: "How is your hand?"

——When he asked this, he squeezed Jiang Ting's wrist, and at the same time, his other hand slipped from Jiang Ting's back shoulder to the back of his waist, and gently took off a small thing from the edge of the belt.

That's the monitor microphone he put up by hugging him when he left the ward just now.

"It's okay, it's okay." Jiang Ting's face was somewhat exhausted, and he pulled his hand back: "Don't worry about me."

Yan Xiu walked into the ward and turned to smile at him quickly.

This smile is actually a bit weird, but because it is so short, no one will notice it.

Li Yuxin leaned on the snow-white pillow of the hospital bed, her lifeless face finally recovered a trace of blood. Seeing Yan Xiu came in, she immediately struggled to get up, and she spoke very hoarsely: "You can really count my meritorious service and send me back. Are you studying?"

Jiang Ting sat far away in the armchair at the other end of the ward, with his hands folded on his thighs, like a static and graceful statue.

Yan Xi glanced at him, then retracted his gaze and nodded: "Yes, I promise."

——His eyes were quite meaningful, but Li Yuxin didn't notice, she was full of attention on the guarantee.

"I didn't see what that person looked like." The girl finally shrank and squeezed out the first sentence: "I only heard his voice."

Yan Xiu narrowed his eyes.

"In July last year, I and... I was with He Liang, and we were dating. Because my father did not perform well in the final exams, my dad scolded people at home all day, so I ran out and called He Liang to come out. Stay with me... We both walked straight along the road until it was dark, and we were about to leave the county town. At this time, a car came to take us home."

Li Yuxin swallowed dryly, and Yan Xiu immediately asked: "What car? What does the driver look like?"

"It was a silver Hyundai. It was dark at the time and the driver’s face could not be seen clearly. He was a man in his 30s and 40s. Soon after we got in the car...as if we were fascinated, somehow Fell asleep."

Yan Xiu didn't say a word, in fact, he couldn't say anything.

Two unarmed 16-year-old high school students got into the black car in a daze, and their safety awareness was terribly low.

"When we woke up, we were already in the wilderness. There were no people around. It was all mountains and wilderness. We were very scared, but we had to keep walking and walking. Ah...We spent the next two days in the woods." Li Yuxin couldn't help sobbing: "We didn't have to eat or drink, He Liang also fell, and we all have a fever..."

Yan Xiu suddenly heard something wrong: "No one kidnapped you?"

"I didn't know that we were kidnapped at all. I didn't hear people say that He Liang's parents received a blackmail call." Li Yuxin choked, "But we really didn't know at the time. Ah, I just kept walking in the mountains, I have never seen anyone else in the first two days!"

Yan Xiu seemed to understand something, but without saying it, he asked, "What about the third day?"

Li Yuxin's expression seemed to be strangling her throat.

"On the third day, we met..." For a while, she reluctantly squeezed out a few words from her throat: "Those who wear black clothes and cover their faces."

——A person in black clothes with a face covered?

"How many people? Are they male or female? How did you meet them?"

"I don’t know where they came from. On the third day we climbed to the top of the hillside and fainted. When we woke up, we found these people surrounded by the open space. He Liang was **** and kneeled on the ground. I have been begging, I have been begging...I wanted to run but I was caught by them. I desperately called for help, begging them to let us go, but someone held the phone in my ear——"

Li Yuxin's eyes widened, it seems that after so long, the horror at that time is still deeply immersed in the bone marrow:

"The voice said on the phone that He Liang was a coward who had betrayed me and told me that I had to kill him. I cried and begged him not to do that, but he said that if I didn’t dare to do it, I would have to be killed with He Liang. Punishment. Like, like..."

Yan Xiu asked: "What is it like?"

"..." Li Yuxin trembling, said for a while: "There is a pit in the ground."

The ward was terribly quiet, Yan Xiu and Jiang Ting both focused their eyes on the girl’s face that didn’t look like a living person:

"In the pit... there are two corpses... a man and a woman, holding hands..."

"He said that if I don't kill He Liang, I will be like the girl in the pit..."

Yan Xiu's face changed completely. He knew what Li Yuxin's words meant: Last year 712 was not the first time a serial kidnapping occurred!

Before He Liang, there were at least one other victim!

"...So you killed He Liang?" Yan Xi asked, buzzing in his mind, hearing his own voice.

Li Yuxin dodged his gaze.

"No," the girl whispered, "I don't know anything, I... I fainted. When I woke up, He Liang was... already dead."

Yan Xi raised his eyes to Jiang Ting, and Jiang Ting lowered his eyes silently.

In the ward, I only heard Li Yuxin's trembling breathing and choking. After a long time, Yan Xi slowly nodded and said: "Okay."

——Yan Xiu is such a person: He rarely talks nonsense when he handles a case, and he takes action to solve it.

But as long as he is willing to say that every word uttered is a nail, it will never be changed by external force after being nailed.

Jiang Ting breathed a sigh of relief silently, but it didn't show up on the face. He didn't seem to see the sharp gaze that Yan Xi glanced at that moment. The muscles on his face were still very relaxed or even softened. He asked Li Yuxin plainly: "Later, this group of people let you go?"

Li Yuxin shook her head, and when she opened her mouth, she heard the squeaking and collision of her teeth: "No, no, no. They drove several off-road vehicles and moved He Liang to one of them, driving me down the mountain in the dark at night... …After going down the mountain, I was sprayed on my face by them, and suddenly fell asleep. When I woke up again, a whole day had passed, because when the sun went down again, I saw the off-road vehicle parked on the top of the hill, and they Take He Liang—He Liang, who is motionless with his eyes closed, get out of the car..."

The girl speaks incoherently and wants to hold her head, but she can only use the handcuffs in vain:

"A big hole was dug in the ground...they put He Liang in it, put it in..."

"Then they filled the pit...ahhhhhhh!"

Her nerves that were stretched to the limit were finally broken, and she let out a sharp cry like a ghost.

Yan Xi raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows tightly. With this action, he slowly digested the huge amount of information in Li Yuxin's words just now, and sighed hoarsely amidst the tragic cry of the girl.

"The executioner is not a single person, but an organization with perfect mobility. The goal of the organization's leaders is to love each other young men and women, who are kidnapped and thrown into the wilderness, making blackmail calls, sending blood suits, and notifying the execution time. At the same time, the two hostages struggled to survive, and then when the time of execution came, the girl was forced to kill the boy. If the girl did not dare to attack, he killed both at the same time and buried them together hand in hand."

Yan Xi shook his head and took a breath: "This sense of sacrifice and ritual feels like a cult, but I don't know what the so-called "betrayal" and "coward" mean."

Jiang Ting didn't speak.

Yan Xi pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his chin at him: "Hey."

"Huh?"

"How do I feel that this organization is a bit similar to the drug cartel behind Feng Yuguang's case? Isn't it the same group?"

Although it was a question, Yan Xiu's very oppressive ending seemed to imply something vaguely, causing Jiang Ting to lower his gaze.

Looking from his slightly side cheek, a long, beautiful streamline formed from the eyelashes to the tip of the tail, which felt a little cold and not easy to get close.

"Actually I was thinking about another thing," he said suddenly.

Yan Xi said "Huh?"

Jiang Ting ignored him: "Li Yuxin?"

The girl didn't know if she was crying or collapsed. The wailing had gradually subsided, turning into a twitch of her body from time to time, and she raised her embarrassed face.

"You said that when the kidnappers coerced you to execute He Liang, there were two bodies of a man and a woman in the pit beside him, but after He Liang died, he was buried on another hillside a full day's drive away?"

Li Yuxin bit her lip and nodded.

Jiang Ting turned to Yan Xiu: "Although I can't figure out why he wanted to be buried in another place, is it possible that the kidnappers will use He Liang's body to intimidate the next hostage?"

——This is indeed too easy to associate, Jiang Ting said before Yan Xiu realized: "Tianzong Mountain!"

"Ma Xiang!" Yan Xiu found out the phone number to dial, and spoke very quickly: "The kidnappers are not individuals but gangs. Immediately notify the city bureau to send someone to transfer from 12 noon to night on July 16 last year. Monitor all the mountain trails entering and leaving the hinterland of Tianzong Mountain at 12 o’clock. The goal is the off-road team. If you find it, notify me immediately!” Then he covered his phone and asked Li Yuxin: “You can still remember any geomorphic features of the place where He Liang was executed, and the burial congratulations Is there any information on the location of Liang’s body? This is very important! Any detail must be provided to the police!"

Under all eyes, Li Yuxin trembled and said: "Yes."

——She was so affirmed suddenly, not only Yan Xiu, but Jiang Jiang Ting was surprised.

"There was a large flaming tree on the hillside where He Liang was buried. They forced me to stand on the clearing and watched the pit fill up. That person told me on the phone--"

"'I thought you were a poultry rolling in the mud, who knew you had the life of seeing this phoenix tree'." Li Yuxin's face showed a mixture of irony and despair: "That's me. For the first time in my life, I saw the Phoenix Forest with my own eyes."

Yan Xi stunned and raised his phone: "Ma Xiang..."

"Yes!—Hey, Brother Yan? What's wrong, Brother Yan?"

"I'm with your consultant Lu. I seem to know why the kidnappers used white-tailed sea eagle blood this time." Yan Xi paused and said, "Also, notify the Provincial Department and Bureau Lu to survey the entire In Tianzong Mountain, the location where the kidnappers are going to kill Shen Xiaoqi is a phoenix forest."
