Longmen Memoirs

The flames were like an unstoppable torrent in the heavy rain, rushing away the flow of people and vehicles in front of them, melting the ground, steaming up the rainwater, and covering the entire street with raging water vapor.

Chen Mo looked at the light rain outside the window. The raindrops hit the window, causing a light mist. His vision became hazy. The two knives were at hand, and in front of him was the fox who was focused on the screen.

Her fingers slid quickly on the screen, but her eyes opened wider and wider, unable to believe what she saw.

Finally, she put away the PDA, took off the black disk, and carefully put it into her closest bag.

Those materials are about the secret experiments conducted by Shencheng Pharmaceutical in Longmen, which have reached the level of human experiments. They are trying to implant the Origin Stone into the human body. Judging from the results of the data, some progress should have been made.

Ice cubes are the injection drug they use to select qualified experimenters during the current experiment.

The material for the experiment comes from the slums in Longmenxiacheng District, because even the Guards Bureau cannot count how many people there are. They are given a huge space, and with some bribed positions, there will naturally be people willing to cover for them.

Shengcheng Pharmaceutical has been planning this since it began to provide free humanitarian medical assistance to victims. They were vaguely visible after the riots caused by the conflict between Longmen and Ursus. They harvested a huge amount of money in that riot. Prestige and experimental material, this became the beginning of their experiments.

There are many people in the lower city of Longmen who receive their free medical assistance. Of course, there are also cases of failure. For this reason, they can continue to obtain materials with reason and at the same time improve the public's goodwill towards them.

In the upper-class areas of Longmen, there are many uninformed people who have a great impression of them. In the eyes of outsiders, this is undoubtedly a conscientious pharmaceutical company.

"Those researchers?" Fox asked.

"You have the final information in your hands."

The fox left in a hurry. She had made great achievements and rushed to Wei Yanwu to receive the reward, leaving Chen Mo alone in the teahouse.

Before she left, she told Chen Mo not to come out.

Chen Mo kept waiting, waiting for the police officers from the Guard Bureau to surround the teahouse, but he did not wait. What he waited for was for the fox to come back early the next morning, bringing breakfast and newspapers.

[Kamijo Pharmaceutical explodes, the Guards Bureau pursues the murderer]

It was light rain in the morning on April 1090, 4 of the Crystallization Era.

It rained continuously all night. Even during the day, the Guards Bureau was searching the whole city, but how could they search for one of their own.

The first thing she said after she came back was to smile and ask: "Are you hungry?"

So she raised her hand to indicate the breakfast she had brought.

"Have the information been handed in?" Chen Mo asked while looking at the newspaper while eating breakfast.

"Yeah." She seemed to be in a good mood.

"It's a meritorious service."

"It's a trivial contribution." He was very humble, but he couldn't restrain his tail from swaying behind his back.

"Outside?"

"The Guards Bureau is already dealing with officials who have colluded with Shengcheng Pharmaceutical. The committee will handle the matter with Shengchang itself, but this matter is too big and the Guards Bureau has blocked the news."

"Similar to a natural gas explosion."

"Yes, the natural gas in Longmen is always exploding." She joked: "Which one of the good news and bad news do you want to hear first?"

"You can say it together, there's no need to be pretentious."

"Hey, there's a catch here, I'm going to sell him." She said with a smile. "The Guard Bureau has blocked the news about Shengcheng Pharmaceutical. Now you and I are wanted. Fortunately, the Guard Bureau does not know the exact identities of the two of us, but after He Shengchang was arrested, according to He Shengchang's people Explain that you and Kao are the main members responsible for this matter. Now everyone except you and Kao has been arrested, including the Mr. Lin you met. They will be charged with kidnapping, illegal smuggling, murder, and bribery. …”

She mentioned a lot of accusations in succession, and Chen Mo thought of Mr. Lin. He had only met Mr. Lin twice and was a calm middle-aged man.

"You said there was an informant from the Guards Bureau in He Shengchang?"

Chen Mo asked.

Fox nodded.

"...I want to meet him."

Dark clouds shrouded the sky above Longmen, like raging waves, squeezing the horizon. The wind roared high in the sky, and the raindrops caught in the wind fell.

The next time I saw Hua Wei was at a public cemetery on the outskirts of Longmen. He was putting down the white chrysanthemum he was carrying in front of a tombstone. There was a light rain in the sky. Under the light rain, Hua Wei was holding an umbrella and wearing a coat.

The fox was waiting in the car, and Chen Mo walked toward Huawei alone with an umbrella.

Chen Mo stood behind him. In front of the cemetery were two identical photos that Chen Mo saw at Huawei's house. His right sleeve was empty.

"Hanaojiu."

"You don't look surprised."

"I actually want to be surprised."

Hua Wei took out a cigarette, gave one to Chen Mo, held it in her mouth and lit it.

"What are your plans next?" Chen Mo asked.

"Don't ask me why I became an informant for the Guards Bureau?"

"Don't ask." Chen Mo shook his head and looked at the photo on the tombstone: "Your story must sound very cliché, I'm not interested."

"Really..." He glanced at Chen Mo: "Mr. Lin values ​​me very much. I met him when I was 16 years old, and it was he who led me through the door of He Shengchang. Later, I have been working for him under him. "

"Ah."

"He is dead. Last night, he was hacked to death by people from the committee in Yihui Building. He violated the rules of Dragon Gate and the committee could not spare him. He told me a few days ago that you have a problem and let me try you." Sighing softly: "He misjudged the wrong person from the beginning. It wasn't you, it was me."

"I have been with Shengchang for ten years, and I have reached this point. I don't know when I started to get tired of this kind of life. Watching my grandma grow old day by day, I thought, maybe I will die that day. In front of her, leaving her alone in Longmen, how should she survive at that time, but Mr. Lin was kind to me..." Hua Wei said: "I have always advised him not to come into contact with the ice, but Mr. Lin did not Listen, he hadn’t heard of it, so later I was responsible for helping him deal with the population of Longmen Lower City. I used the boxing ring as a cover and did a lot of wrong things until people from the Guards Bureau found me."

"People in our profession have no way out, unless you die and settle your grudges before you have the chance to start a new life in your next life."

His fingers holding the cigarette trembled slightly: "The people from the Guards Bureau are willing to give me this opportunity, and are willing to give me the opportunity to take revenge on Shencheng Pharmaceutical. That fox behind you has deep thoughts. I can't refuse her offer." , so I betrayed Mr. Lin, betrayed He Shengchang, handed over the cases he had done with Shengchang over the years to the Guards Bureau, and changed my life."

"You said you wanted to sell me a favor, so the favor you meant is now."

"In order to make Mr. Lin believe that you are the person I like, I had to pretend to have a heart-to-heart relationship with you. I led you into He Shengchang's door, brought you into contact with He Shengchang's secrets, and by the way, I also put you in He Shengchang's house. In the midst of danger, I lied to you, and by using you to escape from this matter, we are clear."

He sighed deeply: "He Shengchang is gone... From now on, there will no longer be He Shengchang in Xiacheng District."

A well-established gang was destroyed in just one night. Longmen Lower City has always been so unkind.

"your hands?"

"I gave Mr. Lin a hand and repaid his kindness to me. After collecting Mr. Lin's body, I will take my grandma back to Dayan to find a small town to settle down and provide for her until her death. Over the years, I have made a lot of money. It’s a lot of money, it’s hot to hold, and I donated it to Longmen’s charity fund. I have hands and feet, so it’s not difficult to support myself and my grandma.”

He walked past Chen Mo.

"We will never meet again, Chen Mo."

"We will see you later, Hua Weijiu."

Chapter 22 Sewer Massacre ([-])

[Yeah, no matter what you say is correct, it can't prove anything... Even if you think you are right, if people don't believe it, they don't believe it. 】

　【

Chen Mo watched the man with the severed hand gradually go away, holding an umbrella and disappearing alone into the hazy rain curtain.

The fox leaned against the car door.

When Chen Mo came over, her eyes followed Chen Mo who sat down next to her.

"When did you find out that Hanao was mine?" she asked slightly curiously.

"It's not hard to think of it." Chen Mo glanced sideways at the fox: "It was the boxing ring in Xiacheng District that you took me to, and it was also the clue you found out about Shencheng Pharmaceutical and the connection with Shengchang. Huawei was too harsh on me. He was a little more enthusiastic. Although he could disguise it as saying that I saved his life, he said that he and I had a life-long friendship, so he used this excuse to stop his suspicion with Shengchang and successfully established contact with me, so later you Then we suddenly found clues about the ice cube, plus Lin Yuxia’s sudden appearance that day.”

"Step by step, bit by bit, it seems that they are pushing me in this direction, and I have successfully passed the point. Although I don't care what you want to do, but I guess..." Chen Mo retracted his gaze at the fox. Eyesight: "You must have known about the matter with Shengchang and Shencheng Pharmaceutical for a long time, so you are planning to take action now."

"That's a good guess." Fox clapped his hands perfunctorily: "Then how do you feel now, Snake? Suddenly I realized that Huawei's friendship with you was all just an act. Suddenly I realized that you have been following our reservation. Do you feel helpless, angry, or unwilling to move forward with your plan?"

"Helpless, the premise of anger is that I believe you and Huawei, but if I never believed any of you from the beginning, how can I be disappointed." Chen Mo shook his head: "It is better to say, even if I guessed Huawei It's your people, and I can't take any action, because firstly, I am not a subordinate of Shengchang, and secondly, I have no connection with Shencheng Pharmaceutical, and their life and death has nothing to do with me. If this can help you take action as soon as possible, I will be happy. See how it works.”

His words were received extremely coldly, because he had never believed in Hua Weijiu, nor had he truly believed in the fox cub following him, even though she was a fox cub.

Or maybe it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, he didn't do it, it's just that the time hasn't come yet.

"What you said is really unkind." Fox raised the corner of his mouth with a sarcastic smile, but what Chen Mo said made Fox extremely satisfied. That's right, don't believe me, don't believe anyone.But she still had to make up for possible flaws.

"But just now, I clearly felt your anger. You wanted to kill Hua Wei, but you didn't do it."

"But I think he will not be able to leave Longmen smoothly." Chen Mo did not refute the fox's guess, but asked flatly. "The Guards Bureau will definitely not let him get what he wants. In fact, he himself said that it will be difficult to retreat. I don't think he and I will see each other again."

"He left one hand. He was very clever. If the hand had not been left, the committee would not have let him go." Fox said.

"Because he betrayed He Shengchang?"

"Every family has its own laws, and its business has its own rules. The Guards Bureau showed the greatest tolerance to him by not allowing him to testify against others. He was not a member of the Guards Bureau in the first place, and he did such illegal and taboo things. I think It would be so easy to write it off. He would stay in jail, and the Guards promised to give him time to visit his relatives every year, so that he could pretend to be busy with his career. After five, ten, or maybe even earlier, Xiacheng District would This person will be forgotten."

"Why didn't you join forces with Hanao from the beginning?"

"I can't trust him, and he knows it himself. If Hanao Ming and I break into Jinjo Pharmaceutical, everyone will think of the Guards Bureau, and half of the people in the lower city will not live in peace. But now they are the ones who think of Kamijo Pharmaceutical. The Health Bureau will not let things get too big, sometimes status is very important, even if it is just for show."

The fox said, seeming to have thought of something: "What's interesting is that Hua Weijiu never thought about turning back. If he were the same person, he would definitely go all the way to the dark side now."

"So you threatened him with his family?" Chen Mo asked coldly.

"Why do you think I'm so bad?!" the fox retorted in surprise: "The Guards Bureau wouldn't do such a dishonest thing. Even if her grandson is a wicked person, I just told him how his parents died, and He talked some truths, talked about some concerns, and kindly pointed out a clear path. Although he is a bad person, he is not bad to the core, and he can still be saved."

The fox sighed softly and said: "But sometimes you choose the wrong path. It is just a mistake. If you want to go back, you have to pay the price and make a choice. Even if it is a moment of regret, what you have done has already been done. Even if you have the intention to do good, you have to pay the price and make a choice." Good deeds are not rewarded, evil deeds are done unintentionally, and evil deeds are not punished. Although this sentence is biased, it is not without some truth."

"I would say, this is already a good ending for him. At least he is still alive compared to dying in a daze that day."

"So...this sentence is also meant for me?" Chen Mo asked softly and tentatively.

"It depends on what you want to choose." Fox started the car and said with a smile: "Longmen is far more complicated than you think. There are committees entrenched in the lower city, big businessmen and capitalists from Victoria, and the forces of the East Kingdom. Involved, there is also political interference from the Yan Kingdom. It is a small dragon gate. There are too many complicated forces entrenched in the Guards Bureau. Compared with Shengchang, they are just a small shrimp. Let's go, and Shengchang's matter It’s over, but our work is not over.”

People say that the prodigal son should turn around and put down the butcher's knife, but I know...even if you put down the butcher's knife, even if you are willing to look back, those grievances will still catch up with you, and there will never be an end to death between you and them.

But the fox was right.

At least Hua Weijiu saved his life, whether he chose to repent out of the kindness in his heart that had not yet been extinguished, or he simply wanted to get rid of all this and live with peace of mind.

At least he survived, at least when the old man asked, he could feel clear of guilt, at least... he could go see her parents and tell them frankly that he turned back.

But how can I look back, Chen Mo thought, what kind of person do my parents expect me to be.

He is extremely evil and selfish, but he still puts everything aside and lives a humble life like Hua Weijiu.

Chen Mo thought that he should already know the answer.

He was not, after all, a child, then and now.Fortunately, he doesn't have to think like a child. Unfortunately, he can't be as pure and simple as a child. Right is right, wrong is wrong, one is one, and two is two.

Honest people always die too quickly, and fairness is always in the hands, not on the corner of the mouth.

But what Chen Mo didn't know was.

In the heavy rain last night, Fox left Huiming Tea House. She knew that someone was waiting upstairs, waiting for her to lead the police officers from the Guards Bureau to surround the city, waiting for her to finally break up with her, waiting for the Guards to The bureau's encirclement and suppression of snakes that have lost their value.

But you must be very disappointed, because no one from the Guards Bureau will come to you... and you will think about what other conspiracies there are in Longmen. You were so suspicious when you were a child, and you will still be like this when you grow up.

But it’s good to be suspicious. Being suspicious of me will make you believe many things about me. If you are suspicious, you will gradually alienate me, doubt me, be wary of me, and be hostile to me, but you can’t help but try to believe me in your heart.

Fox always thinks Chen Mo is too simple, but maybe even she herself doesn’t expect to be separated for more than ten years. How much can Chen Mo still care about her little friend in the resettlement camp, maybe it’s just like most Just like a childhood playmate whom I haven't seen for many years, except for vaguely remembering the other person's name, I no longer have any extra emotions, and maybe I have even forgotten the name.

She raised her head and looked at the rain falling all over the sky at night, dripping along the eaves, the night rain was slightly cold.

Don't blame me.

She took out the cigarette and lit it several times and finally lit it. Among the bright and dying sparks, raindrops floated diagonally into the eaves. She couldn't tell whether it was rain or something that fell on the back of her hand.

She stepped into the rain.

Hummed the song again.

【I know you have changed at this moment】

【But what else can I say to you】

[The few words you left behind after you left]

【Lighting up a cigarette reminds me of the past】

【The fate that comes and ends only in that moment】

I know you don't actually need me that much, you just wanted to chat with me for a few words out of boredom. I actually didn't take it too seriously, so I didn't try to expose you, because I really like you.

It was before, and it is now.
