Chapter 21 The truth, the truth?
Chapter 21 The truth, the truth?
After leaving Huang Jiayin's place, Qiao Ze quickly contacted Team Xing and asked him to call everyone for a meeting.
Huang Jiayin is doing big business this time, up to thousands of kilograms, directly transported from Ancheng.
This trading volume is not normal, and there is a feeling of gradually shorting out.
Joze wasn't sure, but with such a large amount of drugs, they couldn't just sit back and watch them flow into the market.
What he meant was that he hoped to take advantage of this deal to force Mr. Huo to come forward in person. It would be the most efficient to catch all of them in one go. From the list he currently has, he can basically win the rest of the network in one fell swoop.
The key is how to force Mr. Huo to come forward in person.
"I remember the time when Huang Chang designed Lu Miao, just to force Mr. Huo to show up." Su Ming said suddenly, looking at Qiao Ze and Lu Miao, "But it still depends on your wishes."
"No." Qiao Ze directly rejected it without even thinking about it.
Su Ming shrugged and didn't insist.
Judging from the results of Huang Chang's experiment, Lu Miao's appearance is the most effective way.With that person's concern for Lu Miao, it is impossible to put Lu Miao in danger, and he will definitely show up at critical moments.
But correspondingly, Lu Miao will fall into uncontrollable danger again.
Su Ming could understand Qiao Ze's mood, and it was not necessary for Lu Miao to come up, it was just a suggestion. Unexpectedly, Lu Miao raised his hand slowly: "I think this method is feasible."
"Lu Miao!" Qiao Ze snapped.
Su Ming and Team Xing looked at each other, looked at Qiao Ze, and then slowly fell on Lu Miao's face.
"Everyone has worked hard for so long, isn't it just to close the case earlier and save innocent people from being hurt?" Lu Miao said, speaking at a consistently slow speed, "Now that we are at this juncture, there must be no deviation. Since joining this team, haven’t everyone been mentally prepared? Since the method is indeed feasible, how can you give up because you are worried about getting injured?”
"Such a large drug deal, we definitely can't let them flow into the market. Lu Xiaocheng may stop the transaction because he saw me at the scene, because he was worried that something would happen to me. Even if we can't catch them all, at least we can prevent the drugs from flowing into the market." She raised her head and looked at everyone, "And the target suspect is Lu Xiaocheng, doing this... is actually preventing him from making a big mistake. I am a family member, and I am more obliged to prevent him from getting deeper and deeper."
"Or..." Lu Miao hesitated for a while, "If you are worried that I will be too close to him, you will lose control of your emotions, or you will favor him at a critical moment, and miss a big deal, I can also not participate in the whole process. "
Joze looked at her with complicated eyes.
It's not that he hasn't thought about what she said, it's just that he always wants to strike a balance between emotion and reason.
Rationally, it is impossible for him to push her away from danger just because he is afraid of her getting hurt. As he once told her, since he has chosen this path, there is no turning back for him and her. .
It's just that emotionally, he really doesn't want her to be hurt in the slightest.
Team Xing didn't directly agree or disagree, but just asked what Qiao Ze meant.Lu Miao's appearance is indeed the most risky and most effective method.
Joze didn't make a sound.He knew that he should focus on the task, and everyone sacrificed so much, just to restore the peaceful life of this land after the dust settled.
But that person is Lu Miao, Lu Miao...
Lu Miao was also looking at him, and called him "Joe Ze" in a low voice.
"I'll be fine." She assured him, "You don't have to worry about me, just make what you think is the right decision."
Qiao Ze looked at her and didn't move, leaving aside the dangers in performing the mission, that was Lu Xiaocheng, who was all she relied on for her survival in the past 20 years, and he almost gave up his entire life for her.Now, she wanted to take advantage of his feelings for her and arrest him with her own hands. How could she be fine?
What's more, there may be another behind him... Lu Xiaocheng's qualifications and experience are not up to Mr. Huo's level.
"Joze..." She called out to him. Although her face was faintly pale, her eyes were serious and stubborn.
Her obsession with anti-drugs keeps her from softening her heart. Even if that is her family and everything she has ever lived, it is impossible for her to allow him to use drugs to harm others.However, if Lu Xiaocheng is not Mr. Huo...if the truth...
He stared at her for a long time, and finally shook his head slowly: "I disagree, we will always find a better way."
"But we are running out of time." Lu Miao grabbed his arm anxiously, "If we miss this opportunity, we will be passive, and there is no guarantee that there will be no other accidents in the middle, will it take a few more years? ?”
He pursed his lips and said nothing, his Adam's apple rolled violently due to the ups and downs of his emotions, and at some point his hand had already held her back, pinching her tightly.
Team Xing stood up and made a decision: "How about this, Lu Miao is still in charge of the front-line transactions for this operation."
He looked at Qiao Ze: "Jo Ze?"
Qiao Ze didn't respond, his eyes were fixed on Lu Miao, and the corners of his mouth almost curled into a straight line.
Lu Miao looked at him worriedly, grabbed his arm, and called him softly: "Joze..."
Her eyes were full of pleading, and she didn't know anything at all, but he couldn't refuse her request.
It was her job, her mission, and it was his job, his mission.The responsibilities she and he shouldered made it impossible for him to choose to act emotionally at this time.
He closed his eyes heavily, and when he opened them again, he forced himself to nod: "Okay."
Her voice was extremely hoarse, and it seemed as though she had exhausted her entire life's strength in just one word.
After returning from Team Xing, Lu Miao still returned to Lu Xiaocheng's house.
After that day, she and Lu Xiaocheng fell into a relatively silent situation.
Lu Xiaocheng deliberately avoided her, occasionally met her at home, turned away in a hurry as soon as his eyes met, and then made excuses to go back to the room, without giving Lu Miao any chance to communicate.
Lu Miao was disheartened, she didn't ask any more questions, and she didn't tell him that she was going to participate in this transaction, but she would deliberately answer the phone in front of him, and then quietly avoided it.
The change she deliberately made caught Lu Xiaocheng's attention.
He knew about Huang Jiayin's shipment, and quickly guessed from Lu Miao's secretive phone call that she was also involved.
On the night of the transaction, when Lu Miao changed her clothes and was about to go out, Lu Xiaocheng, who hadn't shown much, stopped her at the door.
"Sister, are you also selling drugs?" He asked directly, with complicated eyes.
"No." Lu Miao denied, bypassed him, and wanted to leave.
Lu Xiaocheng stopped her: "Then where are you going tonight?"
"A date to hang out with friends."
Lu Xiaocheng stopped her and refused to let her go: "You are lying to me."
Lu Miao was stopped by him and couldn't leave, so she simply looked up at him: "Yes, I'm going to make a deal with someone tonight, isn't it all yours anyway?" She pursed her lips, "I'll help you talk, yes I am here, and I can save some trouble and risk."
Lu Xiaocheng's eyes suddenly became sad: "Sister, don't get involved."
Lu Miao: "You can do it, why can't I?"
Lu Xiaocheng looked at her and said nothing.
Lu Miao didn't speak any more, turned around and wanted to leave, but Lu Xiaocheng suddenly shot at her, trying to stop her.Lu Miao had been prepared for a long time, and his skills were not bad. Although he was struggling, he escaped from his obstruction and got into the car.
Lu Xiaocheng chased to the front of the car, knocked hard on the glass of the car, and called her name.
Lu Miao rolled down the window.
"Sister, don't be like this." Lu Xiaocheng's eyes were a little red, and he tried desperately to stop her, but it was still the same Lu Xiaocheng who was only for her.
Lu Miao's nose was a little sore, she pursed her lips and looked away.
"Xiaocheng." She said, "You have been helping me all this time, and I want to help you too."
Thinking of him dealing drugs, she choked up even more, she was pushing him to death.
But his position, and her position...
Her heart was hurting, her eyes met his, and she was choked up: "Xiao Cheng, why do you have to sell drugs? Why did we go on this road...why exactly?"
Lu Xiaocheng covered his eyes with his hands to avoid her eyes, kept repeating "I'm sorry", and kept begging her to get out of the car, telling her not to go.
"Then let's take back that batch of goods and turn ourselves in, okay?" Lu Miao asked, "You take the initiative to confess everyone else and strive for a reduced sentence, okay?"
He should not.
"Xiao Cheng." Lu Miao cried, "I'm really fed up with this life of worrying and relying on drugs every day. We are still so young, so we voluntarily turn ourselves in and start over after we get out, okay?"
Lu Xiaocheng still just shook his head and repeated "I'm sorry".
Lu Miao turned her face away: "Okay, I'll help you, we can live as long as we can."
Before Lu Xiaocheng could react, she rolled up the window and the car sped away.
The wind was howling outside the car window, and she couldn't control her tears.
She entered this business because of Lu Xiaocheng, but she never expected that after so many years of hard work, it was to arrest him with her own hands.
Qiao Ze was waiting for her at the Huang's villa, right at the door.
Although Lu Miao had calmed down a little on the road, his eyes were still red and swollen after crying.
Still throbbing in his heart, Qiao Ze stretched out his hand and embraced her.
He couldn't figure out why Lu Xiaocheng, who cared so much for his sister and his family, chose such a road of no return. He couldn't understand that it would only hurt his family in the end.
Lu Miao lowered her head and sniffed: "I'm fine."
Huang Jiayin just came out of the garden, and when he saw Lu Miao, he was stunned: "She?" Then he looked at Qiao Ze, "The person you are talking about, can't it be her?"
Qiao Ze put his palm on Lu Miao's shoulder, and turned to look at Huang Jiayin: "The person your father likes, do you think there will be a problem?"
Huang Jiayin laughed: "It's fine if you don't feel bad."
Qiao Ze warned her: "Don't act rashly. This is not a trivial matter. If there is any accident because of it, you and I will have no good fruit."
Huang Jiayin sneered, did not speak, and patted his palms twice: "Welcome to join."
She brought Lu Miao into the house, introduced it to the others, told some details, and then asked someone to prepare it.
In this transaction, Ancheng was just a transfer, and Lu Miao and others were only responsible for handing over the things to the person who took over, and then they would transport them out of the country via South China.
Qiao Ze and Huang Jiayin didn't go with them, they were equipped with surveillance cameras, and they could watch the whole transaction process from home.
The Xing team has also deployed surveillance. Once Lu Xiaocheng or other people suspected of Mr. Huo show up, they will be arrested immediately.
Huang Jiayin and Qiao Ze stared at the computer in Huang's study, looking at the people on the screen.
Lu Miao in the car looked very calm, and she was dressed like an ordinary girl, nothing unusual could be seen.
When the car was halfway through, her cell phone rang several times, she picked it up, looked at it, and then put it down.
Huang Jiayin looked at Lu Miao in front of the screen, and looked at Qiao Ze with a smile: "Do you think she can come back alive?"
Qiao Ze glanced at her: "I advise you not to act rashly."
Huang Jiayin sneered back at him, didn't talk to him, leaned over to take the tea leaves from the drawer, and wanted to make tea, but unexpectedly, when the tea leaves were poured into the cup, a black card reader the size of a fingernail rolled out of the tea leaves, and the card reader There is also a memory card inside.
Qiao Ze also saw it, his eyes narrowed, and his arm reached out to the teacup abruptly, trying to take the card reader over.Panic flashed across Huang Jiayin's face, and before Qiao Ze's palm touched the cup, he almost threw himself on the table, firmly protecting the cup.
"Give it to me!" Joze's voice became cold.
Huang Jiayin got up with her arms around the cup, and took two steps back: "No!"
Qiao Ze's long legs swept towards her feet abruptly, Huang Jiayin hurriedly dodged, his attention was suddenly distracted, Qiao Ze took her cup and took out the memory card while she was unaware.
Huang Jiayin wanted to grab it, but Qiao Ze twisted his arm and cut it behind him. His upper body was also firmly pressed against the table by his arm, unable to move.
With one hand free, Qiao Ze quickly inserted the card reader into the computer.
An image soon appeared on the screen, which was the video of Gao Yuan before his death.
The video is very long, with more than ten hours.
At the beginning, it was Gao Yuan who was tied up, and the Tibetan mastiff who was eyeing him. The only surprise was that Huang Jiayin, who had always claimed to be ignorant of this matter, was at the scene.
Huang Jiayin in the camera changed his worry when he was trying to dissuade him, and with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, he directed the Tibetan mastiffs to pounce on Gao Yuan.
Huang Jiayin also saw himself in the image, his face paled suddenly, struggling desperately, and kept defending: "Jiang Xing, it's not what you see, listen to my explanation."
Qiao Ze twisted the hand that was binding her wrist and increased his strength. Without looking at her, he continued to drag the video down until Huang Jiayin broke in to rescue him when the explosion occurred.
After the gunpowder smoke, the scene was in a mess, and the video was coming to an end. Qiao Ze was about to turn it off, but he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the doorway filled with smoke. Two figures, one tall and one short, approached against the backlight. With just one glance, Qiao Ze felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave .
Lu Miao!
The same figure, the same face, the same voice, the only difference is her demeanor, cold and cruel, with a casual smile.
She kicked his feet in front of his unconscious body: "all dead?"
A vague voice approached from far away: "Mr. Huo..."
The video ends abruptly.
Huang Jiayin also saw Lu Miao inside, surprise flashed across his face, and then he couldn't stop laughing: "It turns out that she is the one who hides the deepest."
Qiao Ze's arms trembled a little, as if being drenched in ice water, his whole body felt cold.
Huang Jiayin took the opportunity to break free, but Qiao Ze drew out the gun directly, and the muzzle of the gun firmly pressed against Huang Jiayin's temple.
"Don't move!" He said, turned around and switched the computer back to Lu Miao who was in the transaction, but there was darkness in front of the video, and all the monitoring disappeared.
Qiao Ze's heart sank, he quickly took out his mobile phone and called Team Xing: "All operations are terminated, there is a situation!"
Huang Jiayin looked at him in surprise.
Qiao Ze didn't have time to pay attention to it. He hung up Team Xing and called Lu Miao, but he was prompted to turn off the phone.
He just felt chills down his spine.
Without daring to delay, Qiao Ze quickly notified the police ambushing outside and handed Huang Jiayin to the police.
Until the handcuffs were put on his wrists, Huang Jiayin still refused to believe that Qiao Ze was a policeman.
In addition to shock, she stared at Qiao Ze with shock in her eyes, murmuring "impossible" repeatedly.
The Qiao Ze she knew had always been ruthless, cold, and merciless. He was not the policeman she knew at all. She would never believe that Qiao Ze was a policeman.
"So... is Lu Miao also a policeman?" She asked, suddenly laughing, "A policeman who takes drugs? A policeman who deals drugs?"
"She didn't take drugs!" Qiao Ze turned around and pulled out the memory card, "Not to mention drug dealing!" He turned and went out.
"So what, she can't survive, she can't come back alive, you'll never see her again!"
Huang Jiayin walked away slowly with a crying roar, Qiao Ze walked very fast, and his palms were soaked in layers of cold sweat.
The arrest of Huang Jiayin was also planned. If Mr. Huo showed up and Lu Miao's actions went smoothly, he would directly arrest Huang Jiayin; if something happened to Lu Miao, he would then look at the situation depends.But now, he can't wait for news from Lu Miao.
He quickly opened the door and got in the car, heading towards the place where Lu Miao traded.
Not long after getting in the car, Team Xing called and told him that it was not a question of whether to cancel or not, but that the other party seemed to have changed the time and place of the transaction, and they didn't see anyone.
Qiao Ze couldn't get in touch with Lu Miao, he didn't know what was going on now.
The person in the video is Lu Miao, not Lu Miao.
He thought of Zhou Minmin in the firelight, Zhou Minmin with dual personality.
He suspects that Lu Miao in the video is Lu Miao with another personality.
Now that he can't contact Lu Miao, he is not sure whether Huang Jiayin changed the route temporarily to kill Lu Miao, or if Lu Miao's other personality awakened and changed the route by herself, or she herself is...
He thought of her fight for it earlier.
Various conjectures flashed through his mind, but finally settled when he saw the black dots fixed on the dial.
She is still on the seaside road heading to the seafood factory in the western suburbs for trading, but her location has not moved.
Qiao Ze notified Team Xing and drove there himself.
Lu Miao was in the car, half hanging in the car on the cliff by the sea.
Halfway through the drive, her mobile phone was confiscated by the team leader on the grounds of mission safety.
The few people were going to the trading place, and everything was normal. Unexpectedly, when they were passing the coastal road here, the truck they were traveling with suddenly lost control and hit her car.
Qiao Ze also arranged for Tang Yuan to accompany him for protection, but everything happened so suddenly that not only Lu Miao didn't react, but even Tang Yuan in the other car couldn't react in time.
The road here is located between the mountains and the sea. On the left and right sides are cliffs and mountains.
Huang Jiayin wanted people to be Lu Miao before the transaction.
Qiao Ze could guess her intentions, and despite all the protection, he still underestimated how fierce she was.
Neither he nor Tang Yuan expected that for such a large drug deal, knowing that the relationship between Lu Miao and Mr. Huo is delicate, and under the watchful eyes of the public, and the possibility of road monitoring, Huang Jiayin would blatantly commit murder in an attempt to artificially create a car accident Put Lu Miao to death, regardless of the possible transaction failure after the car accident.
Except for Qiao Ze, Huang Jiayin didn't see anything serious.
Another possibility is that Huang Jiayin had already had someone destroy the monitoring on the road.
Tang Yuan didn't have time to think about this possibility. When the truck lost control and slammed into Lu Miao's car, he reacted and turned the steering wheel to rush towards the out-of-control truck. Although he slowed down the truck's attack, he couldn't stop it However, Lu Miao's car still ran out of control and rushed out of the road guardrail, half-hanging on the edge of the cliff.
The whole car was half stuck on the crashed guardrail and slipped down little by little, the situation was precarious.
Tang Yuan got out of the car angrily and pointed his gun at the truck driver who had already got off the car. He was from Huang Jiayin's side and was the team leader.
"Are you fucking crazy?" Tang Yuan yelled at him.
The man also held the gun in his hand, and looked back at Tang Yuan coldly: "You fucking better not meddle in your own business."
Three other people in other cars also got out.
The team leader nodded his chin at the three of them: "Push the car down!"
Tang Yuan pointed his gun at one of them, and yelled, "I'll kill whoever dares to move!"
He stood in front of the car to keep others from approaching.
The car behind him was still sliding down a little bit. Tang Yuan was so anxious that he could hardly hold the gun. He didn't know what happened to Lumiao, whether he was injured, and whether he could climb out. Now the four people were staring at him, and he couldn't turn back.
"I advise you not to meddle in your own business." The team leader said, "Just pretend you didn't see this matter, and we will take care of it if there is any problem."
There is a car approaching across the road.For a moment, a glimmer of hope rose in Tang Yuan's heart, but as the car turned off and he saw the four men getting out of the car slowly, the glimmer of hope that had just risen in his heart was completely extinguished.
People are here to pick up the goods.
There are still five kilometers away from the real trading location, and they temporarily changed the trading location.
The leader looked at the car stuck on the guardrail in surprise, and looked at the leader.
"It seems there is still a good show?" He asked with a smile.
The team leader was about to return to him, when the sound of a car engine whistling in the distance approached suddenly, a black Passat and several cars slammed towards him at a very fast speed, and the people who were about to shake hands took a few steps back in shock.
The black Passat stopped quickly, Lu Xiaocheng got out of the car, and several people got out of the car together.
Tang Yuan recognized Lu Xiaocheng, and he couldn't control the enemy and us at this time, so he yelled at him sharply: "Hurry up and save people!"
The team leader didn't know Mr. Huo, but he knew Lu Xiaocheng, and wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Lu Xiaocheng's people, especially the tall leader, who pointed his gun directly at the team leader: "Are you crazy? Do you know who the person you want to get rid of is?"
One sentence made the team leader pale. Although he was working under Huang Chang, the people directly sent by Mr. Huo knew the tall man in front of him, and knew his position on Mr. Huo's side.
Getting rid of Lu Miao was Huang Jiayin's temporary death order. He has been in the Huang family for so many years. Huang Chang and Huang Jiayin have treated him well. He also has some affection for the Huang family. A rival in love is not a big deal. I didn't expect Mr. Huo's people to go out in person. Their mobile phones have been confiscated, and no one told him that Lu Miao couldn't move.
Lu Xiaocheng couldn't care about the chaos here, hurried to the side of the car, rushed to the dark cliff and shouted anxiously: "Sister... Sister..."
Lu Miao in the car felt dizzy for a while.
The two cars were parallel, her car was on the outside of the road, and the truck suddenly attacked her.The truck was huge, and under the high-speed impact, she had no ability to parry at all, so she could only turn the steering wheel in a hurry to avoid losing control and falling off the cliff.
Lu Xiaocheng's urgent roar made her slowly wake up from the dizziness, and she felt the shaking and falling of the car as soon as she tried to move. She was so shocked that she stopped all movements, looked around, and quickly judged Get out of your situation.
Lu Miao stabilized her mind, forced herself to calm down, and observed her surroundings.
"Sister?" On the plank road, Lu Xiaocheng's terrified voice was still there.
Lu Miao couldn't answer him, the slightest movement of her could cause the car to lose its balance and fall.
She quickly found the point of strength in the groove of the cliff wall outside the car, estimated the distance between her position and the point of strength, gritted her teeth, pushed the car door hard, and flew towards the cliff before the car lost its balance and fell, her fingers hurting. Dangerously buckled the groove on the edge of the cliff.
The complexions of Lu Xiaocheng and Tang Yuan turned from suddenly pale to ecstatic.
"sister!"
"Lu Miao!"
In the different voices, there was faint choking of relief.
Lu Miao raised her head and smiled slightly at the two of them: "I'm fine."
She struggled to climb up the cliff with her hands, her feet were slightly injured and her bones ached.
Lu Xiaocheng got down on his stomach, stretched out his hand towards her, grabbed her palm as she approached step by step, and pulled her up.
Just as Lu Miao stood on the ground steadily, Lu Xiaocheng hugged her out of control. Before he could let go of his hanging heart, when he raised his eyes, he was dazzled by the reflection of the crosshair on the opposite hill, which made him His heart tightened, almost instinctively, he hugged Lu Miao and spun around, the movement was urgent and heavy, Lu Miao was turned so that his whole face hit his chest, the sound of bullets accompanied by muffled groans came from his ears Come.
Lu Miao's mind went blank for a moment, and he slowly raised his head with his eyes wide open, looking at Lu Xiaocheng.
Under the night light, Lu Xiaocheng's face was pale, and he struggled to squeeze out a weak smile at her.
"Sister, I haven't done anything to disappoint you." In a weak voice, Lu Miao's palm was stuffed into a piece of soft cloth.
Lu Miao suddenly lost control: "Xiao Cheng? Xiao Cheng?"
She anxiously wanted to check if he was injured, but Lu Xiaocheng's arm was hanging down feebly, and his whole body was like a kite with a broken string, falling towards the cliff behind which lost the guardrail.
"Xiao Cheng!" Lu Miao hurriedly reached out to catch him, but couldn't catch him, fingertips brushed against his fingertips, and with a plop, he fell into the dark sea.
"Lu Xiaocheng!" Lu Miao lay down on the plank road uncontrollably, subconsciously jumped down, and Qiao Ze rushed to him and grabbed his feet.
The surroundings were already in chaos, with the sound of gunshots, car motors, police horns, and cries of pain.
She couldn't see or hear anything, struggling desperately, reaching out to the edge of the cliff to fish frantically, calling Lu Xiaocheng's name, hoarse, the whole person seemed to be crazy, completely out of control.
Qiao Ze hugged her tightly and called her name.
She couldn't listen, her face was flustered, and she grabbed his collar and wept uncontrollably.
"Lu Xiaocheng fell, save him quickly, please..."
She cried and cried and her arms loosened, and she fell down limply.
Everyone at the scene was controlled by the police and brought back.
The person who attempted to kill Lu Miao was arranged by Huang Jiayin. She made double preparations, but she never expected that Lu Xiaocheng would protect Lu Miao at the critical moment.
When the shooting happened, there was also gunfire from the other direction, and the sniper was shot on the spot.
When Tang Yuan followed the gunshots to find the person, the person hidden on the other side had already left. He could only vaguely see a black car without a license plate. When he turned around and drove after him, the car had disappeared.
The wounded sniper was captured on the spot.
Lu Xiaocheng disappeared.
Although the sea search and rescue team was dispatched quickly, Lu Xiaocheng was not found in the dark night and the waves were rough.
Lu Miao, who passed out, was sent to the hospital. Her feet and arms were cut to varying degrees, but fortunately, no bones were injured.
From being frightened and injured when she was hit, to when Lu Xiao became her to block the gun and fall into the sea, her spirit was so traumatized that her body couldn't support it at all.
She slept extremely restlessly on the hospital bed, her face was so pale that there was no trace of blood. Although she was in a coma, her tears kept streaming, and her whole body was so fragile that it would break if touched.
Qiao Ze didn't dare to take half a step away, and kept holding her hand tightly, comforting her in a low voice.
Her left hand was tightly clutching a strip of cloth, which was a somewhat worn-out yellow nylon cloth. Joze struggled to break her hand apart.
There is a line of words printed and dyed in black pen on the cloth strip: "No, it is the Weima River."
Just a few words, it looks like ordinary greetings.
Qiao Ze stared at the line and studied it for a long time, and it was difficult to see anything else from the words.
He didn't know how Lu Miao had this thing in his hand, but it was extremely important that she would hold onto it tightly when she was unconscious.
The next morning Team Xing and Su Ming came to see Lu Miao. She was still awake and her face was frighteningly pale.
Team Xing looked worried, and looked at Qiao Ze: "What did the doctor say?"
"There's nothing wrong with your body." Qiao Ze said with an unusually hoarse voice, "Maybe it's because the blow was too big and his body couldn't bear it all at once."
Team Xing sighed, patted Qiao Ze on the shoulder, and advised him to relax.
"Has Lu Xiaocheng not been found yet?" Qiao Ze asked.
Team Xing shook his head: "I can't find it. The wind and waves were too strong last night. I don't know if it was swept away by the waves."
Qiao Ze was silent for a while: "How was the interrogation going?"
Team Xing: "They all insist that Lu Xiaocheng is Mr. Huo."
"He can't be Mr. Huo's..." Lu Miao's hoarse voice suddenly came from behind.
All three looked at her in surprise.
She had just woken up, her complexion was still pale, and her mental state was not very good, but there was stubbornness in her usually peaceful eyes.
"He said a word to me before he fell into the sea: He never did anything to disappoint me." She whispered, her voice was so hoarse that she could hardly squeeze out a complete sentence, "He never lied to me, there must be something in it." There is something hidden."
Qiao Ze thought of the video of Huang Jiayin, and panicked for no reason.
Lu Miao didn't notice his expression, but just looked at Team Xing stubbornly: "He even stuffed something into my hand..."
As she spoke, she raised her hand, and before she could open her hand, she felt the hollowness in her palm, panic flashed across her face, she wanted to get up and rummage anxiously, and Qiao Ze supported her.
"It's here with me." He gave the piece of cloth to Lu Miao, "Do you understand?"
Lu Miao shook her head blankly, the words were written by Lu Xiaocheng, but that sentence was not familiar to her.
This sentence can't prove that he is innocent at all, or maybe, he is not innocent at all, it's just her wishful thinking that he is innocent.
Team Xing watched her face slowly fade away, reached out to her, took the cloth strip, looked at it, and handed it to Su Ming.
Su Ming just glanced casually at first, but slowly narrowed his eyes while watching.
"What?" Joze stood up.
"Zhang Quan!" Su Ming suddenly said, and tapped his left index finger several times, "Zhang Quan's informant."
Joze looked at him abruptly.
In order to obtain reliable information, if conditions permit, they will develop their own informants, who may not be involved in the case, or may be people inside the criminal group, in an attempt to make meritorious service through this method.However, for the personal and information safety of the informant, they usually only communicate with one line. The informant only connects with his upline, and other people will not know the existence of the informant.
"Do you still remember Shang Qi's drug manufacturing den last time?" Su Ming said, "The clue came from him."
"Zhang Quan made an appointment with me once before the accident, mentioned the informant he trained, and said that if he had any accidents, let me contact the informant for him, but I have never had a chance to meet. The connection code he gave me is This is the second half of the sentence."
Qiao Ze frowned: "What is the first half of the sentence?"
"I remember you, you were there at the dinner at the Rongma Hotel last time, right?" Team Xing, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said suddenly.
Su Ming took the words: "No, it's the Weima River."
The two looked at each other, and looked at Lu Miao at the same time.
Lu Miao sat on the bed in a daze and didn't move.
Qiao Ze looked at her worriedly: "Stay Miao?"
The corner of Lu Miao's mouth forced a curve: "I'm fine." She said it's fine, but she remained silent throughout the afternoon, and couldn't even eat much.
She had no major health problems and was discharged from the hospital that afternoon.
When Lu Bao returned home, he still rushed towards her enthusiastically, but she stopped making trouble with him as usual, touched its head and sat down on the sofa in despair.
Qiao Ze walked over and hugged her: "Damian, cry when you feel sad, don't suppress it."
She moved and looked up at him: "I'm really fine."
That being said, when she entered the bathroom to take a shower, she couldn't hold back any longer, and broke down crying in the bathroom with the sound of water.
Qiao Ze heard her cry outside the house, at first it was just intermittent sobs, and then the voice gradually became louder, hoarse, almost out of breath.
Qiao Ze hurriedly opened the door and went in to see her.
She was sitting barefoot on the floor of the bathroom, leaning against the wall, her clothes were already wet by the water, she was in a state of despair, crying all the time.
Qiao Ze turned off the shower and went to hug her.
She didn't struggle, didn't get up, and looked at him with red and swollen eyes.
"Joze, why do you think I should doubt Xiao Cheng? He is so good, why should I doubt him... If I would pay more attention to ask him... If I don't act rashly, will he Nothing will happen? He defended me until death, but I...why did I become like this...why couldn't I communicate with him well...I've been looking for him for so long..."
Sentence by sentence, interspersed with broken cries, self-blame and remorse almost swallowed her.
He had never seen her like this before. Her usual calmness and calmness were useless in the face of her completely broken down.
Apart from hugging her tightly and constantly comforting her in her ear "Lu Xiaocheng is not dead, he just disappeared temporarily", he has no other way.
For the first time, he felt powerless.
In the middle of the night, Lu Miao, who was tired from crying, finally fell asleep, with tears still remaining in the corners of his eyes.
Qiao Ze accompanied her to sleep, but her sleep was extremely restless. There was that video in her dream, and she sneered as she heard everyone call her "Mr. Huo".
When he was in a daze of sleep, a faint chill hit him, and his natural vigilance made him open his eyes suddenly. A sharp fruit knife was straight at his throat, and he blocked it instinctively, separating the approaching arms, unbelievably He looked at Lu Miao in front of him.
It's her, it's not her.
The eyes are still red and swollen, but the eyes are cold and bloodthirsty, exactly the same as Lu Miao in the dream and the video.
"Lu Miao?" He called her tremblingly.
All she returned to him was an evocative sneer.
"That trash?" She chuckled, even her voice softened, "Cowardly, incompetent, slow, and disgusting everywhere, how could I be her?"
The icy feeling like being drenched in cold water seized him again, and the blood in his whole body seemed to be frozen, completely cold from head to toe.
The same body, but no longer a familiar soul.Her familiar face no longer had his familiar look.
His Lu Miao is gone.
This kind of cognition is like a pair of sharp hands tearing a wound in his heart, which is bloody and painful.
"Stupid." Even the voice that called her name trembled subconsciously, but this joking nickname was no longer effective in front of her. Looking at him carefully, she asked him "what's the matter" in her characteristic soft voice.
The sneer in her eyes deepened.
"How could you fall in love with her?" She chuckled, leaning over to look into his eyes, "Aside from being a nuisance, she is useless at all, and she doesn't even have any meaning in living in this world. She's so stupid Let you dirty my body, so what if I kill you?"
There wasn't even a smile in her eyes, just coldness.Every word and every word, how much she belittled Lu Miao reflected how deep Lu Miao's subconscious disliked herself.
It was the first time for Qiao Ze to perceive her inner world so deeply, and every time he detected it, his heartache spread like sea water.
But the person in front of him was no longer her, not the Lu Miao whom he loved and thought about.
He didn't know if she would come back, if his Lu Miao was still alive.
The flustered emotions were permeated by this uncertainty. He missed her very much, missed her crazily, wanted to see her, and wanted to get her back.
In front of her, she ignored him, turned around with a sneer, and wanted to open the door and leave.
Qiao Ze stopped her before she opened the door, she turned around and gave him a spinning kick, the wind was blowing under her feet, her movements were swift and ruthless, the fierceness and agility that Lu Miao had never had before.
Perhaps as early as the five-year-old when she was abandoned, another Lu Miao had split in her body, a Lu Miao who was completely opposite to her nature.
The deep self-loathing of being rejected and abandoned when she was young may have long been rooted in her subconscious.She desperately wants to be the best, wants to be recognized and liked, but in exchange for more and more disgusting, even the ultimate abandonment, which makes her self-loathing reach its peak.At the age of five, no one likes her, and she has no one to guide her. She can only hide in her own world with another strong personality that is completely opposite to her nature through this way of split personality, avoiding all harm from the outside world.
It's just that more often, the kindness in her bones suppresses this heavy personality, causing this personality to only exist in her body in a dissociative manner, and only when she suffers severe injuries and her main body spirit is the weakest can she become the hostess, for example, she was almost killed When Ren Yu raped her, like this time, she blamed herself for Lu Xiaocheng's guilt.
Qiao Ze finally understood why Xu Jiaqian called Lu Miao a lunatic, and why Xu Jiayan's face paled instantly when he heard the words "dual personality".
At that time, Lu Miao was extremely desperate and helpless, and could only save himself with another personality that was strong enough in his body.
No wonder her memory of that night was blank, she had no idea that there was another person hidden in her body.
Qiao Ze couldn't imagine how she would collapse if Lu Miao knew that there was another person hiding in her body, and that this person might be leading this well-organized drug trafficking network, and it would almost destroy her entire life.
The word "Mr. Huo" in the video repeated in his mind like a curse, and her cold eyes and sneering mouth corners also alternated repeatedly, making him shiver all over.
But how is it possible, she has been in the school for so many years, in a school that is almost completely closed, she has no chance to participate in the operation of such a group.
And in his investigation, except for the winter vacation when she appeared at the explosion site, she had no record of leaving school without permission.
"What's the relationship between you and Mr. Huo?" Qiao Ze asked sharply, separating her kick from her, and he wanted to find a clue from her that Lu Miao had nothing to do with this case.
She sneered: "What do you think?"
Her offensive became more and more fierce, pressing on him step by step with the agility she never had when she was Lu Miao, determined to kick him away, and then leave.
Qiao Ze was worried about accidentally hurting her, so he only defended her but did not attack her. Unexpectedly, due to a negligence, her chest was hooked by her feet, a few buttons of his pajamas fell off, and the safety charm hanging around his neck was exposed. Tian Lumiao gave him a gift, which he always wore next to his body.
Her movements were slightly paused by the peace talisman, and then she started to move fiercely again, her arms went straight to his chest, as if she wanted to take off the peace talisman.
Joze sensed her intentions, and when her arm almost touched the red line, he restrained her with his backhand.
She struggled desperately: "That thing is mine."
Qiao Ze looked down and said, "She gave it to me."
"She doesn't know anything at all." Unable to break free, she raised her head unwillingly, "If it wasn't for me, you would have died long ago, and that stupid dog."
Qiao Ze narrowed his eyes, and suddenly thought of Lu Bao's inexplicable love for her, and clasped her wrist hard: "What did you say?"
She was in pain, and her brows furrowed.
He pushed her against the wall with his backhand, suppressing her tightly.
"Say it again." He pressed, his voice imperceptibly impatient, "How did you save me? Why were you at the scene of the explosion that day? What is your relationship with Mr. Huo? Are you Mr. Huo?" He The palm of his hand almost choked her throat uncontrollably, and a storm was faintly brewing in the black eyes.
Her stubbornness compromised under his gradually tightening fingers: "I just wanted to go in to find someone, but I didn't expect there was a bomb inside. I wanted to go, but you blocked the way and couldn't get out. That stupid dog has been pulling Your clothes wanted to drag you out, but it stopped me and refused to let me go, wanting me to save you. I was anxious, so I had no choice but to drag you away from the scene and saved your life."
Qiao Ze's hand loosened slightly, and the confusion that had accumulated in his heart for a long time was instantly dispelled.
Her words solved his confusion, Lubao didn't have such a strong ability to distinguish as humans, she saved him and it, it just simply expressed its gratitude to her.
But the hostility towards Xu Jiayan... Qiao Ze squinted his eyes. If the tall figure was Xu Jiayan, in an emergency, he might stop her from wasting time saving others out of consideration for her safety. This also explains Lu Bao hostility towards him.
He wasn't sure, everything was just a guess based on her words and Lu Bao's reaction.
Judging from the video, she spoke in his ear when he was in a coma, and then someone called her "Mr. Huo". Maybe it was the word "Mr. Huo" that touched him. It was Mr. Huo that he was looking for all this time. This person, even in a coma, the impact of these two words on his subconscious is still there-this may explain the attending doctor's guess that he could only hear her voice at that time, if the guess is correct.
Or maybe, just because she saved him, he subconsciously remembered her.
It's no wonder that when he saw Lu Miao for the first time, he had an intuition that there was something wrong with her.Perhaps at that time, his subconscious mind was already giving him instructions that she was Mr. Huo he was looking for.
But while intuiting that there was something wrong with her, he was also grateful for her life-saving grace, so he gradually lost his guard against her.
The only thing he didn't expect was that one day he would fall in love with her.When this thought passed through his mind, Qiao Ze quickly denied it.
What he loves and misses is always the kind and stubborn Lu Miao, who is a bit dumb, but so stupid that he loves him dearly.
It's not her, she's not Lu Miao.She is just a stranger who has occupied Lu Miao's body, and may even use Lu Miao's body to do what Lu Miao hates the most.
"Who are you going to find?" He asked harshly, "What is the relationship between Mr. Huo and you?"
At this time, there is no room for any soft-heartedness. He must know whether she is really one of Mr. Huo. Huang Chang said that Mr. Huo is not alone.
The hand pinching her throat tightened slightly under such ruthless thoughts, but seeing the pain gradually rising on this face, he couldn't let go of his hand no matter what.This gave her an opportunity, her knees suddenly bent and kicked him in the crotch, he instinctively dodged sideways, she pushed him away forcefully, turned and opened the door.He subconsciously pulled her arm to stop her, but her body was weaker than he imagined, after days of blows and this fight, her physical strength had already been exhausted to the limit.She originally wanted to kick back to resist, but her body couldn't hold it up, and she fell limply before kicking out.
"Lu Miao." He hurriedly hugged her.
Her complexion was pale, and her tightly closed eyebrows and eyes lost the sharpness just now, and returned to the quiet and softness he was familiar with.
He hugged her all night and didn't dare to sleep. He didn't know if it was the Lu Miao he was familiar with when she woke up again, or the second personality who occupied her body.He didn't know if she would come back again.
If she won't come back...never come back...
He was tortured by this thought, his whole body was chilled, and his heart trembled, so he guarded her all night in this kind of fear.
She woke up very late the next day, and he almost held his breath when he opened his eyes, and his palm unconsciously pinched her arm.
"Stay Miao?" He called her name carefully, his voice hoarse with fear, and his eyes were fixed on her.
Her eyes met his, with the dazed and confused eyes he was familiar with.
"Huh?" She responded lightly, tugging at his sleeve lightly, "Why do you..."
Before she finished speaking, she was already tightly embraced by him, as if lost and found again, her arms were tightly bound, which made her body ache, and she was almost out of breath.
She was baffled by his actions, she stiffened her body and did not dare to move, and asked him softly: "What... what's wrong?"
"It's okay." His voice was still very hoarse, but he lowered his head towards her, sought her lips, pressed it up, kissed her, and lost control a little bit, almost devouring her.
After a while, he finally let her go, and his face returned to the calmness she was familiar with.
Thinking about his strangeness just now, Lu Miao thought it was her breaking down and crying last night that frightened him, so she took his hand and apologized to him in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I scared you last night, I'm fine of."
He shook his head slightly, didn't respond, and lowered his head to kiss her gently.
She tasted pity from his kiss, and her heart was a little sour. He was so kind to her, but she still ignored his feelings.
"I'm really fine." She comforted him in a low voice, her voice was still hoarse after crying, but her condition was much better than last night.
When getting up to take a shower, Lu Miao saw bruises on her neck, which were a little blue, as if pinched by fingers.She stared at the circle of bruises, a little startled.
Qiao Ze glanced at her in the mirror, his eyes fell on the circle of bruises, and asked her, "How did you do it?"
Lu Miao shook his head blankly: "Maybe I got it accidentally that night."
He hugged her from behind, lowered his head and rubbed her cheek lightly: "I'm sorry."
She was a little embarrassed by his rubbing: "It's not your fault, why are you apologizing?"
Qiao Ze remained silent, bowed his head and kissed her cheek.
She really didn't remember anything about the night before.Now that the person came back, he was really in his arms, but he couldn't feel at ease.
If she is really Mr. Huo, if she is really the behind-the-scenes drug lord he is desperately looking for...
While she was resting at noon, Qiao Ze took out the memory card again, re-watched the video, and tried to find evidence that she had nothing to do with the case, but there was no, that "Boss Huo" was indeed shouted at her .
Of the tall and short figures that appeared at the door, she was the only one who entered the back room. The tall figure was just a silhouette. Judging from the figure, it was Xu Jiayan or Ren Yu.
Shen Qiao found a photo of Ren Yu for him, and Ren Yu's body shape and height were almost unrealistically similar to Xu Jiayan's.
But Lu Bao's unreasonable hostility towards Xu Jiayan made him more inclined to believe that it was Xu Jiayan.
If it was really Xu Jiayan, she would have no way to get rid of the suspicion.
He frantically searched for various legal interpretations, trying to find out if Lu Miao's other personality was really involved in drug trafficking, how should the legal punishment be, and whether she might be acquitted.
His thoughts were too chaotic, and he was in an unknown panic. He didn't even notice that Lu Miao was approaching Qiao Ze. He woke up suddenly when she asked him what he was looking at.
He pressed down the notebook calmly, pulled out the memory card on the notebook, and put it in his coat pocket.
Lu Miao noticed his strangeness, vaguely flustered, this had never happened before, the Qiao Ze she knew had never been flustered.
Lu Miao glanced at his pocket unconsciously.
Qiao Ze put the notebook on the table, stood up, and asked her, "Want to go for a walk?"
Lu Miao shook her head: "I'm fine."
She asked about the progress of his case, and he couldn't tell her that the focus of the case investigation shifted to her.
He rummaged through her luggage while she was resting at noon. He rummaged through all the luggage and found no suspicious clues.
"Joze?" Lu Miao's worried voice called him back from the chaos, and when he looked up, he saw that she was opening her eyes and looking at him strangely.
The trance on his face betrayed his emotions. He suppressed the panic in his heart and forced himself to regain his usual calmness. He slightly bent his lips at her: "I'm thinking about the case." He put his arm on her shoulder, " Let's go for a walk."
Lu Miao had no objection, and walked out the door holding his left arm.
In the left pocket of his coat was the memory card he had just slipped in.
Without his consent, Lu Miao didn't want to touch his things, but at the end of the day, his strange behavior made her unable to calm down. After struggling in her heart, she still put her palm into his coat pocket calmly. .
In winter, she didn't wear gloves either, and she liked to put her hands in his pockets to keep warm when walking together on weekdays.Joze's thoughts were all on her. On issues such as her possible involvement in the case, her collapse after knowing the truth, and how to prevent her from being replaced by another personality again, his thoughts were too confused, and he forgot about the memory card for a while.
He took her to the psychiatrist on the grounds of knowing about Zhou Minmin's situation. By caring about Zhou Minmin, he blurred her symptoms and told the psychiatrist about ways to integrate her personality.
He was worried that she would collapse after learning the truth, but he couldn't let her go, he couldn't let her be swallowed by another her step by step.
He wanted to find a way from the psychiatrist to fuse the personality in her before she realized it, but it was obviously not feasible to avoid her completely.
He couldn't find a way here, so Team Xing called and asked him to talk about the progress of the case.
Lu Miao's identity is sensitive, it's not easy for Qiao Ze to take her with him, and he told her not to sleep until he came back before going out.He was worried that after she fell asleep, he would give her another chance to wake up.
Because of this worry, when he was with Team Xing, he was restless. He looked at the dial from time to time, and even Team Xing noticed something was wrong with him.
"What's wrong?" He put down the file and asked Qiao Ze.
Judging from the list Qiao Ze obtained from Huang Jiayin, as well as Lu Xiaocheng who appeared that night and the people around Mr. Huo who were captured, everyone identified Lu Xiaocheng as Mr. Huo, and all relevant people were arrested one after another. Afterwards, the whole case seemed to be coming to an end, but it was impossible for Lu Xiaocheng to be Mr. Huo while being an informant. This was a contradiction in itself, and because of this contradiction, the case could not be concluded.
Whether it is Lu Xiaocheng, Shang Qi, Wu Manman, or Huang Chang and Huang Jiayin, they are all core members of the Huo Zong Group, but they have not approached the real core. None touched.
Judging from the discussion with Qiao Ze just now, as well as Qiao Ze's abnormality today, Team Xing has an intuition that there is something else hidden in the case.
Qiao Ze didn't want to hide it from Team Xing either. It is impossible to close the case hastily because of his personal affair.
"It's something else." Qiao Ze nodded, and reached into his coat pocket, "On the day of the arrest, I found a video in Huang's villa, which was from Gao Yuan before his death..." His voice cut off suddenly.
Team Xing saw his complexion changed, so he also calmed down immediately, and stood up straight: "What's wrong?"
Qiao Ze quickly turned the coat pocket inside out, and the chip was gone.
He almost instantly remembered that when he went out with Lu Miao in the afternoon, she stretched out her hand to the pocket, and all the blood faded from her face.
He should have noticed the delicate and cunning hidden in her quietness.
"I have to go home right away." Qiao Ze stood up abruptly, grabbing the coat on the coat rack with one hand, "Lu Miao may also be involved in this case, she suffers from severe split personality. Her other personality may Involved in this case, and has inextricably linked with Mr. Huo. I suggest to focus on investigating Xu Jiayan. "
After quickly explaining the situation, despite Team Xing's slightly changed expression, Qiao Ze turned around and went out.
Joze's house.
Lu Miao sat slumped in front of the computer chair, his face pale and trembling all over.
In the frozen picture in front of the computer screen, it was her, but not her.He was clearly himself in the mirror, yet he looked like a stranger, with such eyes and such a sneer.
The word "Mr. Huo" made her tremble all over, as if two voices were arguing repeatedly in her brain.
She thought of Zhou Minmin in the flames, Qiao Ze's abnormality, his quiet investigation of her, and Mr. Huo who refused to confess to Lu Xiaocheng before his accident.
The mobile phone on the table was vibrating constantly, and she was trembling all over, trying to answer it, but she didn't dare to.
Her eyes unconsciously glanced at her hands, trembling violently. She didn't know how many sins and even how many people's blood had been stained on these hands before she knew it.
She didn't know why it was like this, she obviously wasn't like this.
She thought she was her, but in this world, there was another her who shared this body with her.
Lu Miao suddenly didn't know who she was. She remembered when she was a child, when she was still in the Xu family, she waited for Chen Qi to pick her up at the gate of the kindergarten every afternoon. She stood alone in the rusty iron gate, looking at the opposite. On the bus stop sign, on the white background board worn by wind and rain, there is a line of small red characters.
"If one day, you suddenly don't know who you are..."
That line of words was repeated by her over and over again in the countless afternoons when the sky was getting dark when she couldn't wait for Chen Qi to pick her up.She didn't expect that the words that had accompanied her through countless afternoons of fear would quietly blend into her life like fate.
She always thought that she was Lu Miao and she was herself, but it turned out not to be.
Lu Miao didn't know who he was.
While she was doing what she thought was meaningful, she was destroying everything at the same time.
Another voice in her brain kept repeating, laughing at her incompetence, mocking her hypocrisy, telling her how bloody her hands were, telling her that she didn't deserve to live in this world.
The voice was like a spell, bewitching her to slowly open the drawer.Her gun was lying quietly inside, and she picked it up with trembling hands.
She couldn't control herself at all, she couldn't control the other her inside her.
She didn't know how sinful she was, how many drugs she smuggled, and how many innocent "Lu Xiaocheng" and their families were harmed when she didn't know.
As long as she shoots down, will the other self in her body never have a chance to come out and harm others?
With this shot, will it save many families from being ruined?
The mobile phone on the table was still vibrating over and over again, she stared at it blankly, stretched out her hand hesitantly, pressed the call button with trembling hand, and said to Qiao Ze on the phone with a choked voice, "I'm sorry." The other hand was trembling As he spoke, he slowly aimed the muzzle at his temple, tears rolled down from his eyes, and a choked sound rolled out from the depths of his throat.She was trembling all over, and the index finger holding the trigger slowly pressed down...
As soon as Qiao Ze pushed open the door, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. He subconsciously picked up the vase at the entrance and threw it at Lu Miao's hand holding the gun.
The vase bumped into Lu Miao's wrist, and she softened under the force, and the pistol fell to the ground, and she turned her head in a daze.
The shadow approached, and her shoulders were tightly grabbed, and he shook her desperately: "Are you crazy? Do you know what you are doing? If I come back a second later, you..."
The trembling roar almost shattered her eardrums, and before she could recover, she was tightly pulled into his chest.
His chest was heaving violently, his arms were trembling, and his whole body fell into an uncontrollable frenzy of fright, and his arms made her almost breathless.
She tried to move, but his arms suddenly tightened, wishing to crush her into pieces, into his bones and blood.
Lu Miao's nose was sore, and she didn't know what was wrong with her. Ever since she saw Lu Miao in the video, she was panicked and lost.
"Joze." She called him in a low voice, her voice was broken and hoarse, "I'm not her, I don't want to become her, I don't want to hurt people, but I can't stop her, I don't know what to do..."
"I don't know why it became like this..." She raised her head from his arms, "I don't know why there is a person in my body, I dare not resent anyone, but why is she still here..."
Her voice was choked up, and she tried her best to hold back her tears. She looked very flustered and dazed, but it made his heart ache.She has been working hard to live a good life. He knows that she has been working hard and earnestly, but the shadow of her childhood still has hidden dangers.
For the first time, Qiao Ze hated someone, Chen Qi.
Her fascination with the infant Lu Miao not only ruined her entire childhood, but even her life.
"Stay Miao." His voice was still trembling, and he was still a little shocked, "They can be fused into one. Didn't we just go to see a psychiatrist in the afternoon? He said that through hypnotic dialogue, we can slowly let the She agrees to merge with you into a complete whole, someone with more than a dozen personalities can merge into one. Don't do anything stupid."
"But they didn't sell drugs..." Lu Miao's voice choked more and more, "I did, they called me Mr. Huo, the drug lord we are looking for is me...but how could I be a drug lord, I am a policeman ah……"
"That video can't prove anything." Qiao Ze tried to convince her, "Dai Miao, you don't have time to commit crimes. I have investigated all your school attendance time, and there is no way you have time to commit crimes, you can't commit crimes, you have to Believe me."
"But there are winter and summer vacations..." She was still at a loss, "That voice has been in my brain, telling me that I am Mr. Huo."
"She just wanted to break your will and take the opportunity to occupy your body." Joze looked at her, "Recall carefully, over the years, where you have been, and whether your memory is blank."
She was startled, and thought about it seriously, but she couldn't remember.During the winter and summer vacations, she will work part-time in Ancheng. Sometimes she is tired and falls asleep when she returns home.
She wondered if when she fell asleep, it was another time when she woke up.She only knew that many times, she obviously slept on the bed, but woke up on the sofa the next day.She always thought that she woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom or sleepwalked and changed places. She never suspected that there was another person in her body. Never thought of this possibility.
Her eyes moved to the computer unconsciously. The silhouette at the door in the video made her face pale. She recognized that silhouette as Xu Jiayan. Winter and summer vacations were when she had the most contact with Xu Jiayan.
She thought of the weird way she looked at herself when she saw Chen Yizi for the first time, it was not the way she looked at a stranger, Chen Yizi must have seen her before.
Chen Yizi belonged to Xu Jiayan, she killed Li Yuanxiang.
On that night five years ago, Xu Jiayan concealed it from everyone with one hand.
The person Lu Xiaocheng refused to identify even if he died.
Xu Yanghaiyun rose from the brink of bankruptcy to a sudden rise, and Huang Chang used her to force Mr. Huo out.Since Lu Xiaocheng is not Mr. Huo, there is only one person in the world who will worry about her.
And the day Lu Xiaocheng fell into the sea, the mysterious man who killed the sniper...
The body became weak and limp again, and Lu Miao trembled all over.
All signs point to one person—Xu Jiayan.
She remembered the night when Xu Jiayan was drunk, he pushed her against the French window, and screamed at her that he had spent his whole life with her.
"Stay Miao?" Seeing the blood on her face fading little by little, Qiao Ze was trembling, and subconsciously hugged her tightly.
Her lips trembled so badly that she was about to cry.
Qiao Ze called her name urgently, but Lu Miao couldn't listen at all. The possible truth made her almost unbearable.
"Daily?" Qiao Ze pinched her shoulder.
Her eyes met his, and she forced a smile at him: "I'm fine."
Joze looked at her, not looking okay at all.
"I won't do anything stupid again," she assured him.
However, Qiao Ze couldn't feel relieved, he didn't dare to let her take half a step away from his sight, and kept her awake all night.
Lu Miao also didn't sleep all night, she didn't dare to sleep, she was afraid that if she fell asleep, the other person in her body would take the opportunity to occupy this body.
The two opened their eyes until dawn.
Lu Miao didn't want Qiao Ze to become like this because of herself, but she couldn't persuade him.The way she raised her gun frightened him. Although she repeatedly assured him that she would not do stupid things again, it was no use. There was a meeting with the team, and he also found someone to watch her.
The person he is looking for is Shen Qiao, a big idler with good skills, even if the other personality in her wakes up, he can restrain her.
Lu Miao was waiting for Qiao Ze to go out, and she wanted to find Xu Jiayan in person.
Shen Qiao is not as wary as Qiao Ze, or in other words, he is not wary of her at all.
Lu Miao locked him inside while he entered the kitchen.Shen Qiao was completely unprepared and patted the door panel, his mobile phone was still on the dining table in the living room.
"I'm sorry." Through the door, Lu Miao apologized to him in a low voice, "I'll ask Qiao Ze to come back and open the door for you later."
Regardless of his hasty kick on the door, Lu Miao went out quickly.
When she got in the car, she touched the locator behind her ear and wanted to take it off, but after thinking about it, she left it where it was.
She went directly to Xu Jiayan's company - Xu Yang Shipping, an entire office building located in the industrial zone.
It was the first time she stepped here in so many years.But she was not very lucky, as soon as she entered Xu Yanghaiyun's hall, when she told the front desk to find Xu Jiayan, Chen Qi went downstairs.
When Chen Qi saw her, his complexion immediately turned cold.
If it was before, Lu Miao might still feel a little uncomfortable, but looking at Chen Qi now, she doesn't feel anything.
She came today for business, and as "her."
Her cold eyes and sneer in the video, as well as the vicious look of that voice in her mind in the past few days, made her remember deeply, and she hardly needed any disguise. Facing Chen Qi's look, she replied the same Cold and arrogant eyes, and a cold smile.
This made Chen Qi stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "I said why she looked innocent again a while ago, and she is really good at pretending."
One sentence made Lu Miao feel cold, which meant that Chen Qi had seen her other personality, and Xu Jiaqian had seen it too. No wonder Xu Jiaqian was afraid that she would be like that in Macau.
It seemed that the whole world knew her cruelty, but she was the only one who foolishly thought she was innocent.
She thought of the judgement in Jo Ze's eyes when he looked at her recently, and the many times when she woke up, he stared at her in a daze, and he secretly investigated her.
He knew it all, but he didn't say it.
Lu Miao knew he was in trouble, he was afraid that she would be hurt, and she didn't want him to be in trouble.
To Chen Qi's sneer, she just sneered back, ignored her, turned around and wanted to get into the elevator.
"Stop!" Chen Qi wanted to stop her, "Who allowed you to go up?"
Lu Miao took out her mobile phone: "Then ask your precious son if he is okay?"
Chen Qi's face turned pale, Lu Miao's words completely hit her pain point.
Lu Miao went straight into the elevator and pressed the floor where Xu Jiayan's office was located.
Before entering the office, Lu Miao dialed Qiao Ze's phone and said in a low voice, "Don't hang up the phone, and don't make a sound."
(End of this chapter)
After leaving Huang Jiayin's place, Qiao Ze quickly contacted Team Xing and asked him to call everyone for a meeting.
Huang Jiayin is doing big business this time, up to thousands of kilograms, directly transported from Ancheng.
This trading volume is not normal, and there is a feeling of gradually shorting out.
Joze wasn't sure, but with such a large amount of drugs, they couldn't just sit back and watch them flow into the market.
What he meant was that he hoped to take advantage of this deal to force Mr. Huo to come forward in person. It would be the most efficient to catch all of them in one go. From the list he currently has, he can basically win the rest of the network in one fell swoop.
The key is how to force Mr. Huo to come forward in person.
"I remember the time when Huang Chang designed Lu Miao, just to force Mr. Huo to show up." Su Ming said suddenly, looking at Qiao Ze and Lu Miao, "But it still depends on your wishes."
"No." Qiao Ze directly rejected it without even thinking about it.
Su Ming shrugged and didn't insist.
Judging from the results of Huang Chang's experiment, Lu Miao's appearance is the most effective way.With that person's concern for Lu Miao, it is impossible to put Lu Miao in danger, and he will definitely show up at critical moments.
But correspondingly, Lu Miao will fall into uncontrollable danger again.
Su Ming could understand Qiao Ze's mood, and it was not necessary for Lu Miao to come up, it was just a suggestion. Unexpectedly, Lu Miao raised his hand slowly: "I think this method is feasible."
"Lu Miao!" Qiao Ze snapped.
Su Ming and Team Xing looked at each other, looked at Qiao Ze, and then slowly fell on Lu Miao's face.
"Everyone has worked hard for so long, isn't it just to close the case earlier and save innocent people from being hurt?" Lu Miao said, speaking at a consistently slow speed, "Now that we are at this juncture, there must be no deviation. Since joining this team, haven’t everyone been mentally prepared? Since the method is indeed feasible, how can you give up because you are worried about getting injured?”
"Such a large drug deal, we definitely can't let them flow into the market. Lu Xiaocheng may stop the transaction because he saw me at the scene, because he was worried that something would happen to me. Even if we can't catch them all, at least we can prevent the drugs from flowing into the market." She raised her head and looked at everyone, "And the target suspect is Lu Xiaocheng, doing this... is actually preventing him from making a big mistake. I am a family member, and I am more obliged to prevent him from getting deeper and deeper."
"Or..." Lu Miao hesitated for a while, "If you are worried that I will be too close to him, you will lose control of your emotions, or you will favor him at a critical moment, and miss a big deal, I can also not participate in the whole process. "
Joze looked at her with complicated eyes.
It's not that he hasn't thought about what she said, it's just that he always wants to strike a balance between emotion and reason.
Rationally, it is impossible for him to push her away from danger just because he is afraid of her getting hurt. As he once told her, since he has chosen this path, there is no turning back for him and her. .
It's just that emotionally, he really doesn't want her to be hurt in the slightest.
Team Xing didn't directly agree or disagree, but just asked what Qiao Ze meant.Lu Miao's appearance is indeed the most risky and most effective method.
Joze didn't make a sound.He knew that he should focus on the task, and everyone sacrificed so much, just to restore the peaceful life of this land after the dust settled.
But that person is Lu Miao, Lu Miao...
Lu Miao was also looking at him, and called him "Joe Ze" in a low voice.
"I'll be fine." She assured him, "You don't have to worry about me, just make what you think is the right decision."
Qiao Ze looked at her and didn't move, leaving aside the dangers in performing the mission, that was Lu Xiaocheng, who was all she relied on for her survival in the past 20 years, and he almost gave up his entire life for her.Now, she wanted to take advantage of his feelings for her and arrest him with her own hands. How could she be fine?
What's more, there may be another behind him... Lu Xiaocheng's qualifications and experience are not up to Mr. Huo's level.
"Joze..." She called out to him. Although her face was faintly pale, her eyes were serious and stubborn.
Her obsession with anti-drugs keeps her from softening her heart. Even if that is her family and everything she has ever lived, it is impossible for her to allow him to use drugs to harm others.However, if Lu Xiaocheng is not Mr. Huo...if the truth...
He stared at her for a long time, and finally shook his head slowly: "I disagree, we will always find a better way."
"But we are running out of time." Lu Miao grabbed his arm anxiously, "If we miss this opportunity, we will be passive, and there is no guarantee that there will be no other accidents in the middle, will it take a few more years? ?”
He pursed his lips and said nothing, his Adam's apple rolled violently due to the ups and downs of his emotions, and at some point his hand had already held her back, pinching her tightly.
Team Xing stood up and made a decision: "How about this, Lu Miao is still in charge of the front-line transactions for this operation."
He looked at Qiao Ze: "Jo Ze?"
Qiao Ze didn't respond, his eyes were fixed on Lu Miao, and the corners of his mouth almost curled into a straight line.
Lu Miao looked at him worriedly, grabbed his arm, and called him softly: "Joze..."
Her eyes were full of pleading, and she didn't know anything at all, but he couldn't refuse her request.
It was her job, her mission, and it was his job, his mission.The responsibilities she and he shouldered made it impossible for him to choose to act emotionally at this time.
He closed his eyes heavily, and when he opened them again, he forced himself to nod: "Okay."
Her voice was extremely hoarse, and it seemed as though she had exhausted her entire life's strength in just one word.
After returning from Team Xing, Lu Miao still returned to Lu Xiaocheng's house.
After that day, she and Lu Xiaocheng fell into a relatively silent situation.
Lu Xiaocheng deliberately avoided her, occasionally met her at home, turned away in a hurry as soon as his eyes met, and then made excuses to go back to the room, without giving Lu Miao any chance to communicate.
Lu Miao was disheartened, she didn't ask any more questions, and she didn't tell him that she was going to participate in this transaction, but she would deliberately answer the phone in front of him, and then quietly avoided it.
The change she deliberately made caught Lu Xiaocheng's attention.
He knew about Huang Jiayin's shipment, and quickly guessed from Lu Miao's secretive phone call that she was also involved.
On the night of the transaction, when Lu Miao changed her clothes and was about to go out, Lu Xiaocheng, who hadn't shown much, stopped her at the door.
"Sister, are you also selling drugs?" He asked directly, with complicated eyes.
"No." Lu Miao denied, bypassed him, and wanted to leave.
Lu Xiaocheng stopped her: "Then where are you going tonight?"
"A date to hang out with friends."
Lu Xiaocheng stopped her and refused to let her go: "You are lying to me."
Lu Miao was stopped by him and couldn't leave, so she simply looked up at him: "Yes, I'm going to make a deal with someone tonight, isn't it all yours anyway?" She pursed her lips, "I'll help you talk, yes I am here, and I can save some trouble and risk."
Lu Xiaocheng's eyes suddenly became sad: "Sister, don't get involved."
Lu Miao: "You can do it, why can't I?"
Lu Xiaocheng looked at her and said nothing.
Lu Miao didn't speak any more, turned around and wanted to leave, but Lu Xiaocheng suddenly shot at her, trying to stop her.Lu Miao had been prepared for a long time, and his skills were not bad. Although he was struggling, he escaped from his obstruction and got into the car.
Lu Xiaocheng chased to the front of the car, knocked hard on the glass of the car, and called her name.
Lu Miao rolled down the window.
"Sister, don't be like this." Lu Xiaocheng's eyes were a little red, and he tried desperately to stop her, but it was still the same Lu Xiaocheng who was only for her.
Lu Miao's nose was a little sore, she pursed her lips and looked away.
"Xiaocheng." She said, "You have been helping me all this time, and I want to help you too."
Thinking of him dealing drugs, she choked up even more, she was pushing him to death.
But his position, and her position...
Her heart was hurting, her eyes met his, and she was choked up: "Xiao Cheng, why do you have to sell drugs? Why did we go on this road...why exactly?"
Lu Xiaocheng covered his eyes with his hands to avoid her eyes, kept repeating "I'm sorry", and kept begging her to get out of the car, telling her not to go.
"Then let's take back that batch of goods and turn ourselves in, okay?" Lu Miao asked, "You take the initiative to confess everyone else and strive for a reduced sentence, okay?"
He should not.
"Xiao Cheng." Lu Miao cried, "I'm really fed up with this life of worrying and relying on drugs every day. We are still so young, so we voluntarily turn ourselves in and start over after we get out, okay?"
Lu Xiaocheng still just shook his head and repeated "I'm sorry".
Lu Miao turned her face away: "Okay, I'll help you, we can live as long as we can."
Before Lu Xiaocheng could react, she rolled up the window and the car sped away.
The wind was howling outside the car window, and she couldn't control her tears.
She entered this business because of Lu Xiaocheng, but she never expected that after so many years of hard work, it was to arrest him with her own hands.
Qiao Ze was waiting for her at the Huang's villa, right at the door.
Although Lu Miao had calmed down a little on the road, his eyes were still red and swollen after crying.
Still throbbing in his heart, Qiao Ze stretched out his hand and embraced her.
He couldn't figure out why Lu Xiaocheng, who cared so much for his sister and his family, chose such a road of no return. He couldn't understand that it would only hurt his family in the end.
Lu Miao lowered her head and sniffed: "I'm fine."
Huang Jiayin just came out of the garden, and when he saw Lu Miao, he was stunned: "She?" Then he looked at Qiao Ze, "The person you are talking about, can't it be her?"
Qiao Ze put his palm on Lu Miao's shoulder, and turned to look at Huang Jiayin: "The person your father likes, do you think there will be a problem?"
Huang Jiayin laughed: "It's fine if you don't feel bad."
Qiao Ze warned her: "Don't act rashly. This is not a trivial matter. If there is any accident because of it, you and I will have no good fruit."
Huang Jiayin sneered, did not speak, and patted his palms twice: "Welcome to join."
She brought Lu Miao into the house, introduced it to the others, told some details, and then asked someone to prepare it.
In this transaction, Ancheng was just a transfer, and Lu Miao and others were only responsible for handing over the things to the person who took over, and then they would transport them out of the country via South China.
Qiao Ze and Huang Jiayin didn't go with them, they were equipped with surveillance cameras, and they could watch the whole transaction process from home.
The Xing team has also deployed surveillance. Once Lu Xiaocheng or other people suspected of Mr. Huo show up, they will be arrested immediately.
Huang Jiayin and Qiao Ze stared at the computer in Huang's study, looking at the people on the screen.
Lu Miao in the car looked very calm, and she was dressed like an ordinary girl, nothing unusual could be seen.
When the car was halfway through, her cell phone rang several times, she picked it up, looked at it, and then put it down.
Huang Jiayin looked at Lu Miao in front of the screen, and looked at Qiao Ze with a smile: "Do you think she can come back alive?"
Qiao Ze glanced at her: "I advise you not to act rashly."
Huang Jiayin sneered back at him, didn't talk to him, leaned over to take the tea leaves from the drawer, and wanted to make tea, but unexpectedly, when the tea leaves were poured into the cup, a black card reader the size of a fingernail rolled out of the tea leaves, and the card reader There is also a memory card inside.
Qiao Ze also saw it, his eyes narrowed, and his arm reached out to the teacup abruptly, trying to take the card reader over.Panic flashed across Huang Jiayin's face, and before Qiao Ze's palm touched the cup, he almost threw himself on the table, firmly protecting the cup.
"Give it to me!" Joze's voice became cold.
Huang Jiayin got up with her arms around the cup, and took two steps back: "No!"
Qiao Ze's long legs swept towards her feet abruptly, Huang Jiayin hurriedly dodged, his attention was suddenly distracted, Qiao Ze took her cup and took out the memory card while she was unaware.
Huang Jiayin wanted to grab it, but Qiao Ze twisted his arm and cut it behind him. His upper body was also firmly pressed against the table by his arm, unable to move.
With one hand free, Qiao Ze quickly inserted the card reader into the computer.
An image soon appeared on the screen, which was the video of Gao Yuan before his death.
The video is very long, with more than ten hours.
At the beginning, it was Gao Yuan who was tied up, and the Tibetan mastiff who was eyeing him. The only surprise was that Huang Jiayin, who had always claimed to be ignorant of this matter, was at the scene.
Huang Jiayin in the camera changed his worry when he was trying to dissuade him, and with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, he directed the Tibetan mastiffs to pounce on Gao Yuan.
Huang Jiayin also saw himself in the image, his face paled suddenly, struggling desperately, and kept defending: "Jiang Xing, it's not what you see, listen to my explanation."
Qiao Ze twisted the hand that was binding her wrist and increased his strength. Without looking at her, he continued to drag the video down until Huang Jiayin broke in to rescue him when the explosion occurred.
After the gunpowder smoke, the scene was in a mess, and the video was coming to an end. Qiao Ze was about to turn it off, but he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the doorway filled with smoke. Two figures, one tall and one short, approached against the backlight. With just one glance, Qiao Ze felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave .
Lu Miao!
The same figure, the same face, the same voice, the only difference is her demeanor, cold and cruel, with a casual smile.
She kicked his feet in front of his unconscious body: "all dead?"
A vague voice approached from far away: "Mr. Huo..."
The video ends abruptly.
Huang Jiayin also saw Lu Miao inside, surprise flashed across his face, and then he couldn't stop laughing: "It turns out that she is the one who hides the deepest."
Qiao Ze's arms trembled a little, as if being drenched in ice water, his whole body felt cold.
Huang Jiayin took the opportunity to break free, but Qiao Ze drew out the gun directly, and the muzzle of the gun firmly pressed against Huang Jiayin's temple.
"Don't move!" He said, turned around and switched the computer back to Lu Miao who was in the transaction, but there was darkness in front of the video, and all the monitoring disappeared.
Qiao Ze's heart sank, he quickly took out his mobile phone and called Team Xing: "All operations are terminated, there is a situation!"
Huang Jiayin looked at him in surprise.
Qiao Ze didn't have time to pay attention to it. He hung up Team Xing and called Lu Miao, but he was prompted to turn off the phone.
He just felt chills down his spine.
Without daring to delay, Qiao Ze quickly notified the police ambushing outside and handed Huang Jiayin to the police.
Until the handcuffs were put on his wrists, Huang Jiayin still refused to believe that Qiao Ze was a policeman.
In addition to shock, she stared at Qiao Ze with shock in her eyes, murmuring "impossible" repeatedly.
The Qiao Ze she knew had always been ruthless, cold, and merciless. He was not the policeman she knew at all. She would never believe that Qiao Ze was a policeman.
"So... is Lu Miao also a policeman?" She asked, suddenly laughing, "A policeman who takes drugs? A policeman who deals drugs?"
"She didn't take drugs!" Qiao Ze turned around and pulled out the memory card, "Not to mention drug dealing!" He turned and went out.
"So what, she can't survive, she can't come back alive, you'll never see her again!"
Huang Jiayin walked away slowly with a crying roar, Qiao Ze walked very fast, and his palms were soaked in layers of cold sweat.
The arrest of Huang Jiayin was also planned. If Mr. Huo showed up and Lu Miao's actions went smoothly, he would directly arrest Huang Jiayin; if something happened to Lu Miao, he would then look at the situation depends.But now, he can't wait for news from Lu Miao.
He quickly opened the door and got in the car, heading towards the place where Lu Miao traded.
Not long after getting in the car, Team Xing called and told him that it was not a question of whether to cancel or not, but that the other party seemed to have changed the time and place of the transaction, and they didn't see anyone.
Qiao Ze couldn't get in touch with Lu Miao, he didn't know what was going on now.
The person in the video is Lu Miao, not Lu Miao.
He thought of Zhou Minmin in the firelight, Zhou Minmin with dual personality.
He suspects that Lu Miao in the video is Lu Miao with another personality.
Now that he can't contact Lu Miao, he is not sure whether Huang Jiayin changed the route temporarily to kill Lu Miao, or if Lu Miao's other personality awakened and changed the route by herself, or she herself is...
He thought of her fight for it earlier.
Various conjectures flashed through his mind, but finally settled when he saw the black dots fixed on the dial.
She is still on the seaside road heading to the seafood factory in the western suburbs for trading, but her location has not moved.
Qiao Ze notified Team Xing and drove there himself.
Lu Miao was in the car, half hanging in the car on the cliff by the sea.
Halfway through the drive, her mobile phone was confiscated by the team leader on the grounds of mission safety.
The few people were going to the trading place, and everything was normal. Unexpectedly, when they were passing the coastal road here, the truck they were traveling with suddenly lost control and hit her car.
Qiao Ze also arranged for Tang Yuan to accompany him for protection, but everything happened so suddenly that not only Lu Miao didn't react, but even Tang Yuan in the other car couldn't react in time.
The road here is located between the mountains and the sea. On the left and right sides are cliffs and mountains.
Huang Jiayin wanted people to be Lu Miao before the transaction.
Qiao Ze could guess her intentions, and despite all the protection, he still underestimated how fierce she was.
Neither he nor Tang Yuan expected that for such a large drug deal, knowing that the relationship between Lu Miao and Mr. Huo is delicate, and under the watchful eyes of the public, and the possibility of road monitoring, Huang Jiayin would blatantly commit murder in an attempt to artificially create a car accident Put Lu Miao to death, regardless of the possible transaction failure after the car accident.
Except for Qiao Ze, Huang Jiayin didn't see anything serious.
Another possibility is that Huang Jiayin had already had someone destroy the monitoring on the road.
Tang Yuan didn't have time to think about this possibility. When the truck lost control and slammed into Lu Miao's car, he reacted and turned the steering wheel to rush towards the out-of-control truck. Although he slowed down the truck's attack, he couldn't stop it However, Lu Miao's car still ran out of control and rushed out of the road guardrail, half-hanging on the edge of the cliff.
The whole car was half stuck on the crashed guardrail and slipped down little by little, the situation was precarious.
Tang Yuan got out of the car angrily and pointed his gun at the truck driver who had already got off the car. He was from Huang Jiayin's side and was the team leader.
"Are you fucking crazy?" Tang Yuan yelled at him.
The man also held the gun in his hand, and looked back at Tang Yuan coldly: "You fucking better not meddle in your own business."
Three other people in other cars also got out.
The team leader nodded his chin at the three of them: "Push the car down!"
Tang Yuan pointed his gun at one of them, and yelled, "I'll kill whoever dares to move!"
He stood in front of the car to keep others from approaching.
The car behind him was still sliding down a little bit. Tang Yuan was so anxious that he could hardly hold the gun. He didn't know what happened to Lumiao, whether he was injured, and whether he could climb out. Now the four people were staring at him, and he couldn't turn back.
"I advise you not to meddle in your own business." The team leader said, "Just pretend you didn't see this matter, and we will take care of it if there is any problem."
There is a car approaching across the road.For a moment, a glimmer of hope rose in Tang Yuan's heart, but as the car turned off and he saw the four men getting out of the car slowly, the glimmer of hope that had just risen in his heart was completely extinguished.
People are here to pick up the goods.
There are still five kilometers away from the real trading location, and they temporarily changed the trading location.
The leader looked at the car stuck on the guardrail in surprise, and looked at the leader.
"It seems there is still a good show?" He asked with a smile.
The team leader was about to return to him, when the sound of a car engine whistling in the distance approached suddenly, a black Passat and several cars slammed towards him at a very fast speed, and the people who were about to shake hands took a few steps back in shock.
The black Passat stopped quickly, Lu Xiaocheng got out of the car, and several people got out of the car together.
Tang Yuan recognized Lu Xiaocheng, and he couldn't control the enemy and us at this time, so he yelled at him sharply: "Hurry up and save people!"
The team leader didn't know Mr. Huo, but he knew Lu Xiaocheng, and wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Lu Xiaocheng's people, especially the tall leader, who pointed his gun directly at the team leader: "Are you crazy? Do you know who the person you want to get rid of is?"
One sentence made the team leader pale. Although he was working under Huang Chang, the people directly sent by Mr. Huo knew the tall man in front of him, and knew his position on Mr. Huo's side.
Getting rid of Lu Miao was Huang Jiayin's temporary death order. He has been in the Huang family for so many years. Huang Chang and Huang Jiayin have treated him well. He also has some affection for the Huang family. A rival in love is not a big deal. I didn't expect Mr. Huo's people to go out in person. Their mobile phones have been confiscated, and no one told him that Lu Miao couldn't move.
Lu Xiaocheng couldn't care about the chaos here, hurried to the side of the car, rushed to the dark cliff and shouted anxiously: "Sister... Sister..."
Lu Miao in the car felt dizzy for a while.
The two cars were parallel, her car was on the outside of the road, and the truck suddenly attacked her.The truck was huge, and under the high-speed impact, she had no ability to parry at all, so she could only turn the steering wheel in a hurry to avoid losing control and falling off the cliff.
Lu Xiaocheng's urgent roar made her slowly wake up from the dizziness, and she felt the shaking and falling of the car as soon as she tried to move. She was so shocked that she stopped all movements, looked around, and quickly judged Get out of your situation.
Lu Miao stabilized her mind, forced herself to calm down, and observed her surroundings.
"Sister?" On the plank road, Lu Xiaocheng's terrified voice was still there.
Lu Miao couldn't answer him, the slightest movement of her could cause the car to lose its balance and fall.
She quickly found the point of strength in the groove of the cliff wall outside the car, estimated the distance between her position and the point of strength, gritted her teeth, pushed the car door hard, and flew towards the cliff before the car lost its balance and fell, her fingers hurting. Dangerously buckled the groove on the edge of the cliff.
The complexions of Lu Xiaocheng and Tang Yuan turned from suddenly pale to ecstatic.
"sister!"
"Lu Miao!"
In the different voices, there was faint choking of relief.
Lu Miao raised her head and smiled slightly at the two of them: "I'm fine."
She struggled to climb up the cliff with her hands, her feet were slightly injured and her bones ached.
Lu Xiaocheng got down on his stomach, stretched out his hand towards her, grabbed her palm as she approached step by step, and pulled her up.
Just as Lu Miao stood on the ground steadily, Lu Xiaocheng hugged her out of control. Before he could let go of his hanging heart, when he raised his eyes, he was dazzled by the reflection of the crosshair on the opposite hill, which made him His heart tightened, almost instinctively, he hugged Lu Miao and spun around, the movement was urgent and heavy, Lu Miao was turned so that his whole face hit his chest, the sound of bullets accompanied by muffled groans came from his ears Come.
Lu Miao's mind went blank for a moment, and he slowly raised his head with his eyes wide open, looking at Lu Xiaocheng.
Under the night light, Lu Xiaocheng's face was pale, and he struggled to squeeze out a weak smile at her.
"Sister, I haven't done anything to disappoint you." In a weak voice, Lu Miao's palm was stuffed into a piece of soft cloth.
Lu Miao suddenly lost control: "Xiao Cheng? Xiao Cheng?"
She anxiously wanted to check if he was injured, but Lu Xiaocheng's arm was hanging down feebly, and his whole body was like a kite with a broken string, falling towards the cliff behind which lost the guardrail.
"Xiao Cheng!" Lu Miao hurriedly reached out to catch him, but couldn't catch him, fingertips brushed against his fingertips, and with a plop, he fell into the dark sea.
"Lu Xiaocheng!" Lu Miao lay down on the plank road uncontrollably, subconsciously jumped down, and Qiao Ze rushed to him and grabbed his feet.
The surroundings were already in chaos, with the sound of gunshots, car motors, police horns, and cries of pain.
She couldn't see or hear anything, struggling desperately, reaching out to the edge of the cliff to fish frantically, calling Lu Xiaocheng's name, hoarse, the whole person seemed to be crazy, completely out of control.
Qiao Ze hugged her tightly and called her name.
She couldn't listen, her face was flustered, and she grabbed his collar and wept uncontrollably.
"Lu Xiaocheng fell, save him quickly, please..."
She cried and cried and her arms loosened, and she fell down limply.
Everyone at the scene was controlled by the police and brought back.
The person who attempted to kill Lu Miao was arranged by Huang Jiayin. She made double preparations, but she never expected that Lu Xiaocheng would protect Lu Miao at the critical moment.
When the shooting happened, there was also gunfire from the other direction, and the sniper was shot on the spot.
When Tang Yuan followed the gunshots to find the person, the person hidden on the other side had already left. He could only vaguely see a black car without a license plate. When he turned around and drove after him, the car had disappeared.
The wounded sniper was captured on the spot.
Lu Xiaocheng disappeared.
Although the sea search and rescue team was dispatched quickly, Lu Xiaocheng was not found in the dark night and the waves were rough.
Lu Miao, who passed out, was sent to the hospital. Her feet and arms were cut to varying degrees, but fortunately, no bones were injured.
From being frightened and injured when she was hit, to when Lu Xiao became her to block the gun and fall into the sea, her spirit was so traumatized that her body couldn't support it at all.
She slept extremely restlessly on the hospital bed, her face was so pale that there was no trace of blood. Although she was in a coma, her tears kept streaming, and her whole body was so fragile that it would break if touched.
Qiao Ze didn't dare to take half a step away, and kept holding her hand tightly, comforting her in a low voice.
Her left hand was tightly clutching a strip of cloth, which was a somewhat worn-out yellow nylon cloth. Joze struggled to break her hand apart.
There is a line of words printed and dyed in black pen on the cloth strip: "No, it is the Weima River."
Just a few words, it looks like ordinary greetings.
Qiao Ze stared at the line and studied it for a long time, and it was difficult to see anything else from the words.
He didn't know how Lu Miao had this thing in his hand, but it was extremely important that she would hold onto it tightly when she was unconscious.
The next morning Team Xing and Su Ming came to see Lu Miao. She was still awake and her face was frighteningly pale.
Team Xing looked worried, and looked at Qiao Ze: "What did the doctor say?"
"There's nothing wrong with your body." Qiao Ze said with an unusually hoarse voice, "Maybe it's because the blow was too big and his body couldn't bear it all at once."
Team Xing sighed, patted Qiao Ze on the shoulder, and advised him to relax.
"Has Lu Xiaocheng not been found yet?" Qiao Ze asked.
Team Xing shook his head: "I can't find it. The wind and waves were too strong last night. I don't know if it was swept away by the waves."
Qiao Ze was silent for a while: "How was the interrogation going?"
Team Xing: "They all insist that Lu Xiaocheng is Mr. Huo."
"He can't be Mr. Huo's..." Lu Miao's hoarse voice suddenly came from behind.
All three looked at her in surprise.
She had just woken up, her complexion was still pale, and her mental state was not very good, but there was stubbornness in her usually peaceful eyes.
"He said a word to me before he fell into the sea: He never did anything to disappoint me." She whispered, her voice was so hoarse that she could hardly squeeze out a complete sentence, "He never lied to me, there must be something in it." There is something hidden."
Qiao Ze thought of the video of Huang Jiayin, and panicked for no reason.
Lu Miao didn't notice his expression, but just looked at Team Xing stubbornly: "He even stuffed something into my hand..."
As she spoke, she raised her hand, and before she could open her hand, she felt the hollowness in her palm, panic flashed across her face, she wanted to get up and rummage anxiously, and Qiao Ze supported her.
"It's here with me." He gave the piece of cloth to Lu Miao, "Do you understand?"
Lu Miao shook her head blankly, the words were written by Lu Xiaocheng, but that sentence was not familiar to her.
This sentence can't prove that he is innocent at all, or maybe, he is not innocent at all, it's just her wishful thinking that he is innocent.
Team Xing watched her face slowly fade away, reached out to her, took the cloth strip, looked at it, and handed it to Su Ming.
Su Ming just glanced casually at first, but slowly narrowed his eyes while watching.
"What?" Joze stood up.
"Zhang Quan!" Su Ming suddenly said, and tapped his left index finger several times, "Zhang Quan's informant."
Joze looked at him abruptly.
In order to obtain reliable information, if conditions permit, they will develop their own informants, who may not be involved in the case, or may be people inside the criminal group, in an attempt to make meritorious service through this method.However, for the personal and information safety of the informant, they usually only communicate with one line. The informant only connects with his upline, and other people will not know the existence of the informant.
"Do you still remember Shang Qi's drug manufacturing den last time?" Su Ming said, "The clue came from him."
"Zhang Quan made an appointment with me once before the accident, mentioned the informant he trained, and said that if he had any accidents, let me contact the informant for him, but I have never had a chance to meet. The connection code he gave me is This is the second half of the sentence."
Qiao Ze frowned: "What is the first half of the sentence?"
"I remember you, you were there at the dinner at the Rongma Hotel last time, right?" Team Xing, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said suddenly.
Su Ming took the words: "No, it's the Weima River."
The two looked at each other, and looked at Lu Miao at the same time.
Lu Miao sat on the bed in a daze and didn't move.
Qiao Ze looked at her worriedly: "Stay Miao?"
The corner of Lu Miao's mouth forced a curve: "I'm fine." She said it's fine, but she remained silent throughout the afternoon, and couldn't even eat much.
She had no major health problems and was discharged from the hospital that afternoon.
When Lu Bao returned home, he still rushed towards her enthusiastically, but she stopped making trouble with him as usual, touched its head and sat down on the sofa in despair.
Qiao Ze walked over and hugged her: "Damian, cry when you feel sad, don't suppress it."
She moved and looked up at him: "I'm really fine."
That being said, when she entered the bathroom to take a shower, she couldn't hold back any longer, and broke down crying in the bathroom with the sound of water.
Qiao Ze heard her cry outside the house, at first it was just intermittent sobs, and then the voice gradually became louder, hoarse, almost out of breath.
Qiao Ze hurriedly opened the door and went in to see her.
She was sitting barefoot on the floor of the bathroom, leaning against the wall, her clothes were already wet by the water, she was in a state of despair, crying all the time.
Qiao Ze turned off the shower and went to hug her.
She didn't struggle, didn't get up, and looked at him with red and swollen eyes.
"Joze, why do you think I should doubt Xiao Cheng? He is so good, why should I doubt him... If I would pay more attention to ask him... If I don't act rashly, will he Nothing will happen? He defended me until death, but I...why did I become like this...why couldn't I communicate with him well...I've been looking for him for so long..."
Sentence by sentence, interspersed with broken cries, self-blame and remorse almost swallowed her.
He had never seen her like this before. Her usual calmness and calmness were useless in the face of her completely broken down.
Apart from hugging her tightly and constantly comforting her in her ear "Lu Xiaocheng is not dead, he just disappeared temporarily", he has no other way.
For the first time, he felt powerless.
In the middle of the night, Lu Miao, who was tired from crying, finally fell asleep, with tears still remaining in the corners of his eyes.
Qiao Ze accompanied her to sleep, but her sleep was extremely restless. There was that video in her dream, and she sneered as she heard everyone call her "Mr. Huo".
When he was in a daze of sleep, a faint chill hit him, and his natural vigilance made him open his eyes suddenly. A sharp fruit knife was straight at his throat, and he blocked it instinctively, separating the approaching arms, unbelievably He looked at Lu Miao in front of him.
It's her, it's not her.
The eyes are still red and swollen, but the eyes are cold and bloodthirsty, exactly the same as Lu Miao in the dream and the video.
"Lu Miao?" He called her tremblingly.
All she returned to him was an evocative sneer.
"That trash?" She chuckled, even her voice softened, "Cowardly, incompetent, slow, and disgusting everywhere, how could I be her?"
The icy feeling like being drenched in cold water seized him again, and the blood in his whole body seemed to be frozen, completely cold from head to toe.
The same body, but no longer a familiar soul.Her familiar face no longer had his familiar look.
His Lu Miao is gone.
This kind of cognition is like a pair of sharp hands tearing a wound in his heart, which is bloody and painful.
"Stupid." Even the voice that called her name trembled subconsciously, but this joking nickname was no longer effective in front of her. Looking at him carefully, she asked him "what's the matter" in her characteristic soft voice.
The sneer in her eyes deepened.
"How could you fall in love with her?" She chuckled, leaning over to look into his eyes, "Aside from being a nuisance, she is useless at all, and she doesn't even have any meaning in living in this world. She's so stupid Let you dirty my body, so what if I kill you?"
There wasn't even a smile in her eyes, just coldness.Every word and every word, how much she belittled Lu Miao reflected how deep Lu Miao's subconscious disliked herself.
It was the first time for Qiao Ze to perceive her inner world so deeply, and every time he detected it, his heartache spread like sea water.
But the person in front of him was no longer her, not the Lu Miao whom he loved and thought about.
He didn't know if she would come back, if his Lu Miao was still alive.
The flustered emotions were permeated by this uncertainty. He missed her very much, missed her crazily, wanted to see her, and wanted to get her back.
In front of her, she ignored him, turned around with a sneer, and wanted to open the door and leave.
Qiao Ze stopped her before she opened the door, she turned around and gave him a spinning kick, the wind was blowing under her feet, her movements were swift and ruthless, the fierceness and agility that Lu Miao had never had before.
Perhaps as early as the five-year-old when she was abandoned, another Lu Miao had split in her body, a Lu Miao who was completely opposite to her nature.
The deep self-loathing of being rejected and abandoned when she was young may have long been rooted in her subconscious.She desperately wants to be the best, wants to be recognized and liked, but in exchange for more and more disgusting, even the ultimate abandonment, which makes her self-loathing reach its peak.At the age of five, no one likes her, and she has no one to guide her. She can only hide in her own world with another strong personality that is completely opposite to her nature through this way of split personality, avoiding all harm from the outside world.
It's just that more often, the kindness in her bones suppresses this heavy personality, causing this personality to only exist in her body in a dissociative manner, and only when she suffers severe injuries and her main body spirit is the weakest can she become the hostess, for example, she was almost killed When Ren Yu raped her, like this time, she blamed herself for Lu Xiaocheng's guilt.
Qiao Ze finally understood why Xu Jiaqian called Lu Miao a lunatic, and why Xu Jiayan's face paled instantly when he heard the words "dual personality".
At that time, Lu Miao was extremely desperate and helpless, and could only save himself with another personality that was strong enough in his body.
No wonder her memory of that night was blank, she had no idea that there was another person hidden in her body.
Qiao Ze couldn't imagine how she would collapse if Lu Miao knew that there was another person hiding in her body, and that this person might be leading this well-organized drug trafficking network, and it would almost destroy her entire life.
The word "Mr. Huo" in the video repeated in his mind like a curse, and her cold eyes and sneering mouth corners also alternated repeatedly, making him shiver all over.
But how is it possible, she has been in the school for so many years, in a school that is almost completely closed, she has no chance to participate in the operation of such a group.
And in his investigation, except for the winter vacation when she appeared at the explosion site, she had no record of leaving school without permission.
"What's the relationship between you and Mr. Huo?" Qiao Ze asked sharply, separating her kick from her, and he wanted to find a clue from her that Lu Miao had nothing to do with this case.
She sneered: "What do you think?"
Her offensive became more and more fierce, pressing on him step by step with the agility she never had when she was Lu Miao, determined to kick him away, and then leave.
Qiao Ze was worried about accidentally hurting her, so he only defended her but did not attack her. Unexpectedly, due to a negligence, her chest was hooked by her feet, a few buttons of his pajamas fell off, and the safety charm hanging around his neck was exposed. Tian Lumiao gave him a gift, which he always wore next to his body.
Her movements were slightly paused by the peace talisman, and then she started to move fiercely again, her arms went straight to his chest, as if she wanted to take off the peace talisman.
Joze sensed her intentions, and when her arm almost touched the red line, he restrained her with his backhand.
She struggled desperately: "That thing is mine."
Qiao Ze looked down and said, "She gave it to me."
"She doesn't know anything at all." Unable to break free, she raised her head unwillingly, "If it wasn't for me, you would have died long ago, and that stupid dog."
Qiao Ze narrowed his eyes, and suddenly thought of Lu Bao's inexplicable love for her, and clasped her wrist hard: "What did you say?"
She was in pain, and her brows furrowed.
He pushed her against the wall with his backhand, suppressing her tightly.
"Say it again." He pressed, his voice imperceptibly impatient, "How did you save me? Why were you at the scene of the explosion that day? What is your relationship with Mr. Huo? Are you Mr. Huo?" He The palm of his hand almost choked her throat uncontrollably, and a storm was faintly brewing in the black eyes.
Her stubbornness compromised under his gradually tightening fingers: "I just wanted to go in to find someone, but I didn't expect there was a bomb inside. I wanted to go, but you blocked the way and couldn't get out. That stupid dog has been pulling Your clothes wanted to drag you out, but it stopped me and refused to let me go, wanting me to save you. I was anxious, so I had no choice but to drag you away from the scene and saved your life."
Qiao Ze's hand loosened slightly, and the confusion that had accumulated in his heart for a long time was instantly dispelled.
Her words solved his confusion, Lubao didn't have such a strong ability to distinguish as humans, she saved him and it, it just simply expressed its gratitude to her.
But the hostility towards Xu Jiayan... Qiao Ze squinted his eyes. If the tall figure was Xu Jiayan, in an emergency, he might stop her from wasting time saving others out of consideration for her safety. This also explains Lu Bao hostility towards him.
He wasn't sure, everything was just a guess based on her words and Lu Bao's reaction.
Judging from the video, she spoke in his ear when he was in a coma, and then someone called her "Mr. Huo". Maybe it was the word "Mr. Huo" that touched him. It was Mr. Huo that he was looking for all this time. This person, even in a coma, the impact of these two words on his subconscious is still there-this may explain the attending doctor's guess that he could only hear her voice at that time, if the guess is correct.
Or maybe, just because she saved him, he subconsciously remembered her.
It's no wonder that when he saw Lu Miao for the first time, he had an intuition that there was something wrong with her.Perhaps at that time, his subconscious mind was already giving him instructions that she was Mr. Huo he was looking for.
But while intuiting that there was something wrong with her, he was also grateful for her life-saving grace, so he gradually lost his guard against her.
The only thing he didn't expect was that one day he would fall in love with her.When this thought passed through his mind, Qiao Ze quickly denied it.
What he loves and misses is always the kind and stubborn Lu Miao, who is a bit dumb, but so stupid that he loves him dearly.
It's not her, she's not Lu Miao.She is just a stranger who has occupied Lu Miao's body, and may even use Lu Miao's body to do what Lu Miao hates the most.
"Who are you going to find?" He asked harshly, "What is the relationship between Mr. Huo and you?"
At this time, there is no room for any soft-heartedness. He must know whether she is really one of Mr. Huo. Huang Chang said that Mr. Huo is not alone.
The hand pinching her throat tightened slightly under such ruthless thoughts, but seeing the pain gradually rising on this face, he couldn't let go of his hand no matter what.This gave her an opportunity, her knees suddenly bent and kicked him in the crotch, he instinctively dodged sideways, she pushed him away forcefully, turned and opened the door.He subconsciously pulled her arm to stop her, but her body was weaker than he imagined, after days of blows and this fight, her physical strength had already been exhausted to the limit.She originally wanted to kick back to resist, but her body couldn't hold it up, and she fell limply before kicking out.
"Lu Miao." He hurriedly hugged her.
Her complexion was pale, and her tightly closed eyebrows and eyes lost the sharpness just now, and returned to the quiet and softness he was familiar with.
He hugged her all night and didn't dare to sleep. He didn't know if it was the Lu Miao he was familiar with when she woke up again, or the second personality who occupied her body.He didn't know if she would come back again.
If she won't come back...never come back...
He was tortured by this thought, his whole body was chilled, and his heart trembled, so he guarded her all night in this kind of fear.
She woke up very late the next day, and he almost held his breath when he opened his eyes, and his palm unconsciously pinched her arm.
"Stay Miao?" He called her name carefully, his voice hoarse with fear, and his eyes were fixed on her.
Her eyes met his, with the dazed and confused eyes he was familiar with.
"Huh?" She responded lightly, tugging at his sleeve lightly, "Why do you..."
Before she finished speaking, she was already tightly embraced by him, as if lost and found again, her arms were tightly bound, which made her body ache, and she was almost out of breath.
She was baffled by his actions, she stiffened her body and did not dare to move, and asked him softly: "What... what's wrong?"
"It's okay." His voice was still very hoarse, but he lowered his head towards her, sought her lips, pressed it up, kissed her, and lost control a little bit, almost devouring her.
After a while, he finally let her go, and his face returned to the calmness she was familiar with.
Thinking about his strangeness just now, Lu Miao thought it was her breaking down and crying last night that frightened him, so she took his hand and apologized to him in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I scared you last night, I'm fine of."
He shook his head slightly, didn't respond, and lowered his head to kiss her gently.
She tasted pity from his kiss, and her heart was a little sour. He was so kind to her, but she still ignored his feelings.
"I'm really fine." She comforted him in a low voice, her voice was still hoarse after crying, but her condition was much better than last night.
When getting up to take a shower, Lu Miao saw bruises on her neck, which were a little blue, as if pinched by fingers.She stared at the circle of bruises, a little startled.
Qiao Ze glanced at her in the mirror, his eyes fell on the circle of bruises, and asked her, "How did you do it?"
Lu Miao shook his head blankly: "Maybe I got it accidentally that night."
He hugged her from behind, lowered his head and rubbed her cheek lightly: "I'm sorry."
She was a little embarrassed by his rubbing: "It's not your fault, why are you apologizing?"
Qiao Ze remained silent, bowed his head and kissed her cheek.
She really didn't remember anything about the night before.Now that the person came back, he was really in his arms, but he couldn't feel at ease.
If she is really Mr. Huo, if she is really the behind-the-scenes drug lord he is desperately looking for...
While she was resting at noon, Qiao Ze took out the memory card again, re-watched the video, and tried to find evidence that she had nothing to do with the case, but there was no, that "Boss Huo" was indeed shouted at her .
Of the tall and short figures that appeared at the door, she was the only one who entered the back room. The tall figure was just a silhouette. Judging from the figure, it was Xu Jiayan or Ren Yu.
Shen Qiao found a photo of Ren Yu for him, and Ren Yu's body shape and height were almost unrealistically similar to Xu Jiayan's.
But Lu Bao's unreasonable hostility towards Xu Jiayan made him more inclined to believe that it was Xu Jiayan.
If it was really Xu Jiayan, she would have no way to get rid of the suspicion.
He frantically searched for various legal interpretations, trying to find out if Lu Miao's other personality was really involved in drug trafficking, how should the legal punishment be, and whether she might be acquitted.
His thoughts were too chaotic, and he was in an unknown panic. He didn't even notice that Lu Miao was approaching Qiao Ze. He woke up suddenly when she asked him what he was looking at.
He pressed down the notebook calmly, pulled out the memory card on the notebook, and put it in his coat pocket.
Lu Miao noticed his strangeness, vaguely flustered, this had never happened before, the Qiao Ze she knew had never been flustered.
Lu Miao glanced at his pocket unconsciously.
Qiao Ze put the notebook on the table, stood up, and asked her, "Want to go for a walk?"
Lu Miao shook her head: "I'm fine."
She asked about the progress of his case, and he couldn't tell her that the focus of the case investigation shifted to her.
He rummaged through her luggage while she was resting at noon. He rummaged through all the luggage and found no suspicious clues.
"Joze?" Lu Miao's worried voice called him back from the chaos, and when he looked up, he saw that she was opening her eyes and looking at him strangely.
The trance on his face betrayed his emotions. He suppressed the panic in his heart and forced himself to regain his usual calmness. He slightly bent his lips at her: "I'm thinking about the case." He put his arm on her shoulder, " Let's go for a walk."
Lu Miao had no objection, and walked out the door holding his left arm.
In the left pocket of his coat was the memory card he had just slipped in.
Without his consent, Lu Miao didn't want to touch his things, but at the end of the day, his strange behavior made her unable to calm down. After struggling in her heart, she still put her palm into his coat pocket calmly. .
In winter, she didn't wear gloves either, and she liked to put her hands in his pockets to keep warm when walking together on weekdays.Joze's thoughts were all on her. On issues such as her possible involvement in the case, her collapse after knowing the truth, and how to prevent her from being replaced by another personality again, his thoughts were too confused, and he forgot about the memory card for a while.
He took her to the psychiatrist on the grounds of knowing about Zhou Minmin's situation. By caring about Zhou Minmin, he blurred her symptoms and told the psychiatrist about ways to integrate her personality.
He was worried that she would collapse after learning the truth, but he couldn't let her go, he couldn't let her be swallowed by another her step by step.
He wanted to find a way from the psychiatrist to fuse the personality in her before she realized it, but it was obviously not feasible to avoid her completely.
He couldn't find a way here, so Team Xing called and asked him to talk about the progress of the case.
Lu Miao's identity is sensitive, it's not easy for Qiao Ze to take her with him, and he told her not to sleep until he came back before going out.He was worried that after she fell asleep, he would give her another chance to wake up.
Because of this worry, when he was with Team Xing, he was restless. He looked at the dial from time to time, and even Team Xing noticed something was wrong with him.
"What's wrong?" He put down the file and asked Qiao Ze.
Judging from the list Qiao Ze obtained from Huang Jiayin, as well as Lu Xiaocheng who appeared that night and the people around Mr. Huo who were captured, everyone identified Lu Xiaocheng as Mr. Huo, and all relevant people were arrested one after another. Afterwards, the whole case seemed to be coming to an end, but it was impossible for Lu Xiaocheng to be Mr. Huo while being an informant. This was a contradiction in itself, and because of this contradiction, the case could not be concluded.
Whether it is Lu Xiaocheng, Shang Qi, Wu Manman, or Huang Chang and Huang Jiayin, they are all core members of the Huo Zong Group, but they have not approached the real core. None touched.
Judging from the discussion with Qiao Ze just now, as well as Qiao Ze's abnormality today, Team Xing has an intuition that there is something else hidden in the case.
Qiao Ze didn't want to hide it from Team Xing either. It is impossible to close the case hastily because of his personal affair.
"It's something else." Qiao Ze nodded, and reached into his coat pocket, "On the day of the arrest, I found a video in Huang's villa, which was from Gao Yuan before his death..." His voice cut off suddenly.
Team Xing saw his complexion changed, so he also calmed down immediately, and stood up straight: "What's wrong?"
Qiao Ze quickly turned the coat pocket inside out, and the chip was gone.
He almost instantly remembered that when he went out with Lu Miao in the afternoon, she stretched out her hand to the pocket, and all the blood faded from her face.
He should have noticed the delicate and cunning hidden in her quietness.
"I have to go home right away." Qiao Ze stood up abruptly, grabbing the coat on the coat rack with one hand, "Lu Miao may also be involved in this case, she suffers from severe split personality. Her other personality may Involved in this case, and has inextricably linked with Mr. Huo. I suggest to focus on investigating Xu Jiayan. "
After quickly explaining the situation, despite Team Xing's slightly changed expression, Qiao Ze turned around and went out.
Joze's house.
Lu Miao sat slumped in front of the computer chair, his face pale and trembling all over.
In the frozen picture in front of the computer screen, it was her, but not her.He was clearly himself in the mirror, yet he looked like a stranger, with such eyes and such a sneer.
The word "Mr. Huo" made her tremble all over, as if two voices were arguing repeatedly in her brain.
She thought of Zhou Minmin in the flames, Qiao Ze's abnormality, his quiet investigation of her, and Mr. Huo who refused to confess to Lu Xiaocheng before his accident.
The mobile phone on the table was vibrating constantly, and she was trembling all over, trying to answer it, but she didn't dare to.
Her eyes unconsciously glanced at her hands, trembling violently. She didn't know how many sins and even how many people's blood had been stained on these hands before she knew it.
She didn't know why it was like this, she obviously wasn't like this.
She thought she was her, but in this world, there was another her who shared this body with her.
Lu Miao suddenly didn't know who she was. She remembered when she was a child, when she was still in the Xu family, she waited for Chen Qi to pick her up at the gate of the kindergarten every afternoon. She stood alone in the rusty iron gate, looking at the opposite. On the bus stop sign, on the white background board worn by wind and rain, there is a line of small red characters.
"If one day, you suddenly don't know who you are..."
That line of words was repeated by her over and over again in the countless afternoons when the sky was getting dark when she couldn't wait for Chen Qi to pick her up.She didn't expect that the words that had accompanied her through countless afternoons of fear would quietly blend into her life like fate.
She always thought that she was Lu Miao and she was herself, but it turned out not to be.
Lu Miao didn't know who he was.
While she was doing what she thought was meaningful, she was destroying everything at the same time.
Another voice in her brain kept repeating, laughing at her incompetence, mocking her hypocrisy, telling her how bloody her hands were, telling her that she didn't deserve to live in this world.
The voice was like a spell, bewitching her to slowly open the drawer.Her gun was lying quietly inside, and she picked it up with trembling hands.
She couldn't control herself at all, she couldn't control the other her inside her.
She didn't know how sinful she was, how many drugs she smuggled, and how many innocent "Lu Xiaocheng" and their families were harmed when she didn't know.
As long as she shoots down, will the other self in her body never have a chance to come out and harm others?
With this shot, will it save many families from being ruined?
The mobile phone on the table was still vibrating over and over again, she stared at it blankly, stretched out her hand hesitantly, pressed the call button with trembling hand, and said to Qiao Ze on the phone with a choked voice, "I'm sorry." The other hand was trembling As he spoke, he slowly aimed the muzzle at his temple, tears rolled down from his eyes, and a choked sound rolled out from the depths of his throat.She was trembling all over, and the index finger holding the trigger slowly pressed down...
As soon as Qiao Ze pushed open the door, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. He subconsciously picked up the vase at the entrance and threw it at Lu Miao's hand holding the gun.
The vase bumped into Lu Miao's wrist, and she softened under the force, and the pistol fell to the ground, and she turned her head in a daze.
The shadow approached, and her shoulders were tightly grabbed, and he shook her desperately: "Are you crazy? Do you know what you are doing? If I come back a second later, you..."
The trembling roar almost shattered her eardrums, and before she could recover, she was tightly pulled into his chest.
His chest was heaving violently, his arms were trembling, and his whole body fell into an uncontrollable frenzy of fright, and his arms made her almost breathless.
She tried to move, but his arms suddenly tightened, wishing to crush her into pieces, into his bones and blood.
Lu Miao's nose was sore, and she didn't know what was wrong with her. Ever since she saw Lu Miao in the video, she was panicked and lost.
"Joze." She called him in a low voice, her voice was broken and hoarse, "I'm not her, I don't want to become her, I don't want to hurt people, but I can't stop her, I don't know what to do..."
"I don't know why it became like this..." She raised her head from his arms, "I don't know why there is a person in my body, I dare not resent anyone, but why is she still here..."
Her voice was choked up, and she tried her best to hold back her tears. She looked very flustered and dazed, but it made his heart ache.She has been working hard to live a good life. He knows that she has been working hard and earnestly, but the shadow of her childhood still has hidden dangers.
For the first time, Qiao Ze hated someone, Chen Qi.
Her fascination with the infant Lu Miao not only ruined her entire childhood, but even her life.
"Stay Miao." His voice was still trembling, and he was still a little shocked, "They can be fused into one. Didn't we just go to see a psychiatrist in the afternoon? He said that through hypnotic dialogue, we can slowly let the She agrees to merge with you into a complete whole, someone with more than a dozen personalities can merge into one. Don't do anything stupid."
"But they didn't sell drugs..." Lu Miao's voice choked more and more, "I did, they called me Mr. Huo, the drug lord we are looking for is me...but how could I be a drug lord, I am a policeman ah……"
"That video can't prove anything." Qiao Ze tried to convince her, "Dai Miao, you don't have time to commit crimes. I have investigated all your school attendance time, and there is no way you have time to commit crimes, you can't commit crimes, you have to Believe me."
"But there are winter and summer vacations..." She was still at a loss, "That voice has been in my brain, telling me that I am Mr. Huo."
"She just wanted to break your will and take the opportunity to occupy your body." Joze looked at her, "Recall carefully, over the years, where you have been, and whether your memory is blank."
She was startled, and thought about it seriously, but she couldn't remember.During the winter and summer vacations, she will work part-time in Ancheng. Sometimes she is tired and falls asleep when she returns home.
She wondered if when she fell asleep, it was another time when she woke up.She only knew that many times, she obviously slept on the bed, but woke up on the sofa the next day.She always thought that she woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom or sleepwalked and changed places. She never suspected that there was another person in her body. Never thought of this possibility.
Her eyes moved to the computer unconsciously. The silhouette at the door in the video made her face pale. She recognized that silhouette as Xu Jiayan. Winter and summer vacations were when she had the most contact with Xu Jiayan.
She thought of the weird way she looked at herself when she saw Chen Yizi for the first time, it was not the way she looked at a stranger, Chen Yizi must have seen her before.
Chen Yizi belonged to Xu Jiayan, she killed Li Yuanxiang.
On that night five years ago, Xu Jiayan concealed it from everyone with one hand.
The person Lu Xiaocheng refused to identify even if he died.
Xu Yanghaiyun rose from the brink of bankruptcy to a sudden rise, and Huang Chang used her to force Mr. Huo out.Since Lu Xiaocheng is not Mr. Huo, there is only one person in the world who will worry about her.
And the day Lu Xiaocheng fell into the sea, the mysterious man who killed the sniper...
The body became weak and limp again, and Lu Miao trembled all over.
All signs point to one person—Xu Jiayan.
She remembered the night when Xu Jiayan was drunk, he pushed her against the French window, and screamed at her that he had spent his whole life with her.
"Stay Miao?" Seeing the blood on her face fading little by little, Qiao Ze was trembling, and subconsciously hugged her tightly.
Her lips trembled so badly that she was about to cry.
Qiao Ze called her name urgently, but Lu Miao couldn't listen at all. The possible truth made her almost unbearable.
"Daily?" Qiao Ze pinched her shoulder.
Her eyes met his, and she forced a smile at him: "I'm fine."
Joze looked at her, not looking okay at all.
"I won't do anything stupid again," she assured him.
However, Qiao Ze couldn't feel relieved, he didn't dare to let her take half a step away from his sight, and kept her awake all night.
Lu Miao also didn't sleep all night, she didn't dare to sleep, she was afraid that if she fell asleep, the other person in her body would take the opportunity to occupy this body.
The two opened their eyes until dawn.
Lu Miao didn't want Qiao Ze to become like this because of herself, but she couldn't persuade him.The way she raised her gun frightened him. Although she repeatedly assured him that she would not do stupid things again, it was no use. There was a meeting with the team, and he also found someone to watch her.
The person he is looking for is Shen Qiao, a big idler with good skills, even if the other personality in her wakes up, he can restrain her.
Lu Miao was waiting for Qiao Ze to go out, and she wanted to find Xu Jiayan in person.
Shen Qiao is not as wary as Qiao Ze, or in other words, he is not wary of her at all.
Lu Miao locked him inside while he entered the kitchen.Shen Qiao was completely unprepared and patted the door panel, his mobile phone was still on the dining table in the living room.
"I'm sorry." Through the door, Lu Miao apologized to him in a low voice, "I'll ask Qiao Ze to come back and open the door for you later."
Regardless of his hasty kick on the door, Lu Miao went out quickly.
When she got in the car, she touched the locator behind her ear and wanted to take it off, but after thinking about it, she left it where it was.
She went directly to Xu Jiayan's company - Xu Yang Shipping, an entire office building located in the industrial zone.
It was the first time she stepped here in so many years.But she was not very lucky, as soon as she entered Xu Yanghaiyun's hall, when she told the front desk to find Xu Jiayan, Chen Qi went downstairs.
When Chen Qi saw her, his complexion immediately turned cold.
If it was before, Lu Miao might still feel a little uncomfortable, but looking at Chen Qi now, she doesn't feel anything.
She came today for business, and as "her."
Her cold eyes and sneer in the video, as well as the vicious look of that voice in her mind in the past few days, made her remember deeply, and she hardly needed any disguise. Facing Chen Qi's look, she replied the same Cold and arrogant eyes, and a cold smile.
This made Chen Qi stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "I said why she looked innocent again a while ago, and she is really good at pretending."
One sentence made Lu Miao feel cold, which meant that Chen Qi had seen her other personality, and Xu Jiaqian had seen it too. No wonder Xu Jiaqian was afraid that she would be like that in Macau.
It seemed that the whole world knew her cruelty, but she was the only one who foolishly thought she was innocent.
She thought of the judgement in Jo Ze's eyes when he looked at her recently, and the many times when she woke up, he stared at her in a daze, and he secretly investigated her.
He knew it all, but he didn't say it.
Lu Miao knew he was in trouble, he was afraid that she would be hurt, and she didn't want him to be in trouble.
To Chen Qi's sneer, she just sneered back, ignored her, turned around and wanted to get into the elevator.
"Stop!" Chen Qi wanted to stop her, "Who allowed you to go up?"
Lu Miao took out her mobile phone: "Then ask your precious son if he is okay?"
Chen Qi's face turned pale, Lu Miao's words completely hit her pain point.
Lu Miao went straight into the elevator and pressed the floor where Xu Jiayan's office was located.
Before entering the office, Lu Miao dialed Qiao Ze's phone and said in a low voice, "Don't hang up the phone, and don't make a sound."
