Chapter 8 Two Dismemberment Cases (5)
"It's fine if you don't." Ye Zimin interrupted Wang Shiqi abruptly.There was silence for a few seconds, probably because he realized that he was a little too much, and the tense lines of his body softened: "I didn't mean anything else, I know you are a good person, but..."

Wang Shiqi's eyes turned red: "If...if you don't get married..."

"Impossible." Ye Zimin put on a charming smile, and stroked her lower abdomen with her left hand, "It's been three months. It's me and Lao Zheng's child."

The diamond on her wedding ring was shining brightly, Wang Shiqi seemed to have been slapped in the face, and fled in despair.During the entire wedding banquet that followed, he drank one-third of the alcohol on the banquet by himself, and finally fell down in the bushes. He was not discovered by the hotel cleaning until the next morning. Li became Zheng Yuan's laughing stock.

"Hey, you don't know. The cleaning aunt passed by and thought there was an extra dead person. She was so scared. Later, she dared to touch her hand, but it was still hot. She was so angry that she went up and beat him for more than ten times, but nothing happened. He woke up..."

At Zheng Yuan's son's [-]-day banquet, after Zheng Yuan finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.Wang Shiqi also laughed, and after laughing, he wrapped his arms around Zheng Yuan's neck, brought the wine glass to his face: "Come on, let's have another drink."

Zheng Yuan couldn't hold him back, so he finished off a glass of white wine, smacked his lips when he was done, and climbed onto Wang Shiqi's shoulder with his backhand: "Hey, have you seen anything lately?"

"Why, want to make a big news so soon." Wang Shiqi raised his eyebrows at him, "My side is full of murder and arson, dare to come?"

Zheng Yuan grinned: "You dare, why don't I dare. Don't forget that time in Fenghuang Ridge, who cried and said there was a ghost?"

"How old was I at that time? Not counting!" Wang Shiqi became angry from embarrassment. Just as he was about to fight with Zheng Yuan, his phone rang when he turned his head. "Well, well, I see, I'm not far away, I'll be here soon." Hanging up the phone, seeing Zheng Yuan staring at him, Wang Shiqi shook his head and sighed: "I'll take you next time, okay?" Your son is [-] days old today, I want to take you away, Xiaoye should kill me." He moved to the door and put on his shoes while talking: "Besides, there must be a formality to bring the reporter there Well, you can’t enter casually, you wait first, ah.”

Zheng Yuan couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I'll ask about the case."

"It's hard to say. I just reported that there was a car accident on Yan'an East Road. Someone at the scene reported an attempted rape." Wang Shiqi took the bag, slapped his head, reached in, took out a box, and threw it to Zheng Yuan: "I almost forgot, give it to your son." congratulations."

Zheng Yuan opened it and saw a finely crafted long life lock, made of pure gold, which felt heavy when he picked it up: "My son's treatment is a bit scary."

"What are you afraid of? I have plenty of money." Wang Shiqi waved at Zheng Yuan, "Let's go."

"...no relationship is more depressing and hopeless than a friendship between men going cold and cold. Because a relationship between a man and a woman is like bargaining in a market. There are always various conditions. But between men The deeper meaning of our friendship is selflessness, we neither want the other party to make sacrifices, nor ask him to pay tenderness, we ask for nothing, just want to maintain a wordless covenant." Two years later, Wang Shiqi has become his girlfriend Cheng Nuo held a copy of "Candle Embers" in his hand, and read to the other party word by word, "Look, your split is not what you think, just because of that case... maybe earlier, Before you realize it, the rift has already been formed."

"Crack?" Wang Shiqi smiled, stubbed out the cigarette butt in his hand, rolled over and put his arms around Cheng Nuo's waist, resting his head on her warm belly, "It's not a crack, it's a debt. I owe Zheng Yuan, and I may never be able to pay it back for the rest of my life." gone."

Rain, rain, pouring rain.

Wang Shiqi walked in the mud step by step to the place designated by the murderer. The rain swept across the sky and the earth, shaking him to the point of collapse. He shook his head and pushed away the umbrella handed over by his deputy Xu Ye.

"Let him go, it's already like this, at least it will be easier." Wang Haiyang left a sentence on the intercom, and the criminal police behind him collectively slowed down.

Wang Shiqi, Xu Ye thought, admitted to the No. 1 police academy, repeatedly solved major cases, young and promising, and still a direct prince, just because of one case, the road to promotion in the next half of his life should end here.He looked at his colleagues on the left and right, with ridicule and pity on his face, and he probably thought the same thing in his heart.

But Wang Shiqi didn't have anything in his heart at the moment, there seemed to be a hole opened, the walls were empty, and the dense raindrops smashed the empty echo.

Ye Zimin, Ye Zimin, I choose Ye Zimin.He thought, of course I should choose Ye Zimin, she is a woman, the weak, the one to be protected, the wife of the husband, the mother of the child, it is not wrong to choose Ye Zimin anyway.But—what about the other?His tongue was numb, and it seemed to weigh a thousand catties in his mouth. He couldn't pronounce the name, even though he had been talking about it almost every day for the past 20 years, calling, arguing, joking, cursing, Lao Zheng, the one surnamed Zheng, Zheng Teacher, Zheng...

he died.dead.He was dead the moment he hung up the phone.If he was powerful enough, he might be able to find his skeleton after a few years, but it was just a skeleton.He could catch the murderer, send him to the execution ground, and bring him to justice on the spot, but he knew that all revenge was meaningless, that person was dead, and he would never see him again. It was he, Wang Shiqi, who personally sentenced Zheng Yuan to death.

Surrounded by a barren hill, he walked to the end of the road along the embers of the burning wasteland. The night, as thick as heavy ink, was the tide of death, slowly spreading over the back of his feet.Something flickered in front of him under the reflection of the flashlight. He lowered his head and found Ye Zimin's wedding ring.

The ring was placed in front of a brazier, and there was a thick pile of ashes inside, and the pattern of banknotes could be seen faintly.Underneath is the newly filled soil, which is four feet square horizontally and vertically.The excavation work did not delay too much time. In less than 5 minutes, the top cover of a poor-quality wooden crate had been exposed. The criminal police behind rushed up, and Wang Shiqi stopped him with a drink. "Wait!" He didn't realize that his voice was trembling strangely, "I'll come."

Wang Shiqi broke the wooden boards on the top of the box, looked at the unconscious body curled up inside, suddenly felt that all the bones in his body were disconnected, his knees gave way, and he fell to his knees in the mud.

Inside the box is Zheng Yuan.

Wang Shiqi didn't know whether he should be angry or grateful, howling or cursing at this moment.The only thing he is grateful for is the downpour at the moment, at least the dozen or so colleagues behind him cannot see his turbulent tears.

He bent down on the spot, trying to pull Zheng Yuan up, but his unconscious body was already heavy, and it fell even more heavily after being wet.Wang Shiqi's arms trembled, and his knees slipped in the mud. He didn't dare to let go. In his inexplicable illusion, if he let go, Zheng Yuan would fall into hell.

"Captain Wang...how about...let's come..." The accompanying scout couldn't bear to watch anymore, and Wang Shiqi slapped back his outstretched hand. "Get out." He roared rolling in his throat, dragged and dragged Zheng Yuan to the ground in the end.The man who had known him for more than ten years was silently lying on his side at this moment, with his head resting in his arms, the pale skin on his neck was stained with blood, it was strangely brittle, as if it would burst if he straightened it.Wang Shiqi's hand tremblingly stuck to it. Fortunately, he was still alive, although the carotid artery wriggled hard in his palm, and every stroke seemed like a reproach from him.

Ten minutes later, Zheng Yuan was sent to the ambulance, and Wang Shiqi's mobile phone received the last message from the murderer:

"A surprise. You're welcome."

Three colleagues rushed forward to restrain the maddened him. Wang Shiqi's cell phone was smashed to pieces, and he was handcuffed and locked up in the criminal police cell for 24 hours. When he was released again, Wang Haiyang didn't show up. It was Cheng Nuolai. Pick him up.

"You probably want to ask, why me? Let's put it this way, even if it's for Xiaoye, I have to come."

Wang Shiqi's eyes seemed to stare at Cheng Nuo, but the other party stood still without hesitation: "I have to tell you whether you like it or not. The case is not over yet, and the whereabouts of Xiaoye's body is unknown. You can choose to resign now. Then you won’t have to hear that name again for the rest of your life.”

"You..." Wang Shiqi's throat seemed to be rusty, and he let out a creaking voice, "You just said... a corpse."

Cheng Nuo froze: "The murderer sent a photo, it's Xiaoye. There is no fingerprint, so the sender cannot be traced. The criminal investigation team is still making an analysis report."

"Where is Zheng Yuan?"

"In the hospital, still in a coma. Severe concussion, broken ribs, probably suffered a lot."

Wang Shiqi gritted his teeth, a vein protruding from his neck: "Take me to see him."

Not long after that, Wang Shiqi and Cheng Nuo slept together. It seemed that only by facing this cold face could he find some stability in the bloody and almost absurd reality.Cheng Nuo helped him a lot with Xiaoye's case. Although it inevitably became an unsolved case later, he managed to survive.Wang Shiqi can't say how much Cheng Nuo loves him, she doesn't seem to love anyone. They have met again and again at the scene of the case, the criminal police detachment, Lao Zheng Xiaoye's wedding, and the children's [-]-day banquet, and occasionally had a drink. stop there.He knew that Xiaoye once wanted to match the two of them. Over the past two years, Wang Shiqi said it casually while watching TV once. He didn't mean anything else, but Cheng Nuo's expression suddenly changed, and he agreed with a "snap". Go to the computer and enter the room.

Wang Shiqi moved out the next day.Cheng Nuo was away, so he only left a note telling him to remember to put the keys under the floor mat.When packing up, he pulled out a photo frame from the bottom of the bookshelf. Xiaoye and Cheng Nuo, who were in college, stood side by side. Cheng Nuo was smiling, with one hand wrapped around Xiaoye's neck, pinching her earlobe with his slender fingers.Wang Shiqi blew on the thin ash on it, his heart was also gray, and he felt weird. He stood up almost immediately and walked out, not caring that there was a pile of things behind him.
