Chapter 136 Edmund Dantes (seven)

Nanwan County is like a face that has just been swollen and sutures have not yet been removed.

Looking around, there are bào soil construction sites everywhere, the streets familiar to the old people are separated and merged one by one, the land that was once measured with feet, but now even the wheels are not clear.

The times are bulldozers that destroy everything. Sadly, the secrets that people think are "deeply buried" are actually just a layer of floating soil, and with a little chuī, an ugly body that cannot be covered will be revealed.

From the moment the demolition of Haohao dàngdàng broke the peaceful life of the town, Yin Ping knew that he was not far from this day.

Fourteen years ago, the soil he covered was stretched thin, and the fire couldn't be contained in the paper.

The red electric car with mottled paint speeded on the frozen ground, slipped, and scratched the rear-view mirror of a car parked on the side of the road. The rear-view mirror fell and shattered, and the electric car flew with it go out.

Yin Ping got up with a limp. He didn't even bother to pat the mud on his body. He picked up the electric car whose handlebars had been thrown crooked, and stepped on it and ran. There were burns and scalds under the scratched gloves. The owner of the car whose rearview mirror was scratched happened to come out of the small supermarket on the roadside, chased a few steps, saw the perpetrator walking away, jumped on his feet and yelled a few words, took out his mobile phone and called the police.

This alarm message spread through a huge network, and Yin Ping and his red electric car became a virus that was locked and marked.

"Located," Tao Ran quickly said to Luo Wenzhou on the phone, "I'll bring someone over immediately."

Luo Wenzhou seemed to want to say something, but Tao Ran hurriedly interrupted him: "Yin Ping is very important, I know, don't worry, I will definitely take him back."

Luo Wenzhou: "Wait, I'll call you..."

The word "support" didn't have time to spread out along the signal, and the phone card that had been hung up went back.

If Yin Ping was the one who betrayed Gu Zhao back then, then he might be the only breakthrough they could find. This person was so important that no one expected him to appear so unexpectedly.

Yin Ping could almost hear the siren from the northwest wind. He felt like a worm struggling on a spider's web. Tears flowed out of his gān astringent eyes, mixed with snot. Reminds me of that same biting night fourteen years ago—

Yin Chao and Yin Ping are twins, like people copied from a mold.

But my parents have been biased since I was a child. When I mentioned it to others, they always said that the one who "studied well" was the elder brother, and the one who was "obedient" was the younger brother.

"Obvious", this evaluation is really ironic, and the dog is also obedient.

When they grew up, their father died, and the two of them became the elder brother who "dàng outside" and the younger brother who "had no future to take his father's class".

Obviously they are exactly the same people, but one of them seems to have stolen the other's luck and talent together - even the girlfriend, Yin Chao's, looks much more "advanced" than he talks about.

Fortunately, Yin Chao's marriage ended later, because when it was time to talk about marriage, the girl was killed on the way from get off work. The luck that Yin Chao "stolen" from him seems to have come back in one go. Since then, the boss seems to have changed his personality, quit his job, and the world is no longer invading. He even cut off contact with his family.

During the festivals, his mother always asks God to worship Buddha and burn a bunch of incense, waiting for the big brother Yin Chao to fall from the sky as if he won the lottery.

When the eldest brother had an accident, although Yin Ping didn't say it, he felt a little gloating in his heart. The resentment that had been suppressed for many years was like a rough root in the wilderness. Seeing his old mother's lonely face, he wanted to ask her happily - aren't you all Yin Chao when you open or close your mouth? Don't you say every day that he has the ability and the courage? He was so bold that he didn't even return home. In the end, wasn't this "unpromising" thing of his own giving you the old age and dying?

But soon, Yin Ping found out that no matter what happened to the shadowy eldest brother, he was the heart of the old lady. No matter how diligently he worked to support the family every day, in the eyes of the eccentric old mother, he was still just a Dispensable additions.

During that time, Yin Chao didn't know what was wrong. He moved back to Nanwan Town from the city and rented a private house not far from his home. On Yin Xiaolong's birthday, he even appeared at their dining table for the first time ever. , bought a cake, and tidied himself up abnormally.

Yin Chao said that he had made some money recently, and he remembered that my mother once treasured an advertisement for a luxury cruise ship. He had not been filial to her for so many years, and he was finally able to realize her dream. It happened that his little nephew was also on winter vacation. The old lady and the younger brother's family of three all signed up for the group, and the whole family can go together.

Winter is the busiest time for the boiler room. Yin Ping felt that when he asked for leave at this time, the leader of the unit would not be able to take his place. However, Yin Chao deliberately said lightly, if there is really no time, there is no way, anyway, 20,000 yuan per person, the money is already jiāo, and it can't be refunded.

The silly old woman in their family was furious when she heard about the price—the eldest brother slapped the small hundred thousand dollars on the table, and the brother couldn't even ask for a week's leave? There is no reason for this.

So far, Yin Ping has confirmed that the boss is malicious and wants to harm himself. But in addition to his anger, he felt that something was wrong. In those years, 20,000 yuan was a lot for ordinary people. Is Yin Chao guilty of spending so much money to cause him to lose his job?

With such a large amount of money, it would probably take his life to pay for it.

So that night, Yin Ping, who was full of doubts, secretly followed behind his elder brother Yin Chao, and followed him all the way back to the rented house where he settled in town.

Yin Chao was so vigilant that Yin Ping was almost discovered by him several times. Fortunately, he was familiar with Nanwan Town.

Then he saw with his own eyes several people blocked Yin Chao in the yard of the rented house.

Yin Ping didn't even dare to let out the air, and wished he could get into the rat dòng in the corner. He didn't know what he was afraid of, but instinctively felt the danger.

Yin Ping heard one of them say: "Old cinders, what did you report to your family? Cruise ships? You want to hide? Let me tell you, even if it is an aircraft carrier, if it sinks to the bottom, it has to sink to the bottom. There's not much time, let's have some fun, and give you a night to think about it - do you want half a million, cash, or the heads of your mother, brother, and nephew?"

Yin Ping didn't understand what he heard, but it was like falling into an ice cave. He had never been afraid to speculate on the boss with the greatest malice, but he didn't expect the boss to exceed his imagination!

Yin Ping didn't know how long he had been hiding, and he almost froze into a group of people in the middle of the winter night. It was not until those people walked away and the dim light in the small bungalow came out that he came out like a corpse.

Yin Chao had a solemn look on his face, as if he was about to go out, when the door was opened halfway, he was stunned to see Yin Ping poking at the door.

Yin Ping blocked Yin Chao both hard and soft, and Bī asked that the boss was acting as an informant for a policeman, whose code name was "Old Cinder". Yin Chao said that they are investigating a very dangerous case, and I am afraid they have already made a fool of themselves. Someone inside the police leaked secrets to the suspect. Now they don't know how they knew that Yin Chao was also involved in it, and Wei Bī lured him to find it. he.

Yin Chao didn't tell him the specific case or which police officer, but Yin Ping was already frightened after hearing a few words. He didn't care about anything else. . Yin Chao was upset by his cowardly younger brother, and said to him: "I originally wanted to take a trip to send you away temporarily, but I didn't expect them to find out, don't worry, I'll think of another way... ...You stay with me today, and I'll go out to my partner to discuss and see if I can find someone you can trust to protect you."

Yin Ping crawled and grabbed him: "Brother, that's the underworld, ah? The underworld can't be messed with, the police come and go, but these people are really lingering, a fish that slips through the net can make your house restless. Ah! Mom is almost seventy, and Xiaolong... Xiaolong is still young! You can't-"

Yin Chao hurriedly shook him off: "don't make trouble, I'll fix it."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Yin Ping was in a hurry, picked up an ashtray from the side, and smashed it down against the back of the head of the boss, Yin Chao—

He would never forget that scene. He seemed to have gone out of his body, and he seemed to have practiced this set of moves in a thousand ways. Seeing Yin Chao collapse without a word, Yin Ping was terrified, but also had indescribable excitement. .

At that time, he was like a ghost, stunned in place for a moment, then walked over with his hands and feet disobediently, and slapped heavily on his brother's head a few times, until Yin Chao was completely dead...

Then he took advantage of the darkness of the moon and the wind to dig a hole under the big tree at the back of the courtyard. The tree in the backyard is hundreds of years old and surrounded by iron fences to protect ancient trees. There are local policies. Even if the road is relocated, no one will move it casually, it is a natural protective umbrella.

Yin Ping was terribly calm, packed up the blood and the murder weapon in an orderly manner, and threw his childhood nightmare into the pit. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief to fill in the soil, Yin Chao's pocket suddenly rang.

Yin Ping was so frightened that his hands and feet were cold. For a moment, he felt that the default ringtone of the phone was calling Yin Chao's soul.

After the first phone call, he didn't have time to answer it, so he stopped for half a minute, and the phone rang a second time soon.

Yin Ping jumped into the pit unexpectedly and took out the old mobile phone from the dead man's hand: "...Hello?"

"Old cinders!"

"……it's me."

The man on the phone said, "The Louvre, at 7:20 in the evening the day after tomorrow, I'm ready here, you won't change it, right?"

Yin Ping felt as if his trachea was blocked by something, and squeezed two words out of his throat with difficulty: "...No change."

He sat in Yin Chao's rented house for a night, his hands and feet were paralyzed, and the whole person seemed to be living in a nightmare, and all this really seemed like a nightmare.

It was not until he heard the crows cry outside the window that Yin Ping had a faint expectation in his heart, thinking that he was about to wake up, but suddenly there was the sound of the engine of the motorcycle in the silent dawn.

Yin Ping was shocked. By the way, those people said that he only had one night.

Money or death? The answer couldn't be simpler.

Dawn has not yet broken, and the person who came to him may not be familiar with Yin Chao before and did not see the subtle difference between the twins. After Yin Ping told the time and place he heard from the phone, the other party laughed and took out a Hand him the phone.

The man on the phone said with a smile: "Actually, I know the time and place of your appointment, but I just let my subordinates try you to tell the truth - bro, you are sincere, and I am sincere, how, now you know that I am Who is it? We are on the same boat."

Yin Ping couldn't understand what he was saying at all, so he had to respond in a nonchalant manner. The other party probably didn't expect his subordinates to recognize the wrong person. He didn't doubt his identity for a while, and said to him slowly: "Don't be nervous, I'll tell you how to do it, step by step, you can't go wrong."

How can an honest boiler worker have such courage?

Fourteen years later, Yin Ping himself did not understand that he was clothed in human skin, and he seemed to have a monster out of nothing in his heart. He killed his brother in one bite. The dead go on.

The next day, Yin Ping asked for leave with the unit first, and then said, "I'm busy with work, so I can't go." He put off his family. After cheating both ends, he said, "The fee is also the fee, so it's better to give it to someone else, and give it to someone else. On the grounds that I can help take care of my family", I found someone to hold my ID card, put up the quota, and pretended that a family of four was traveling. I secretly went to Yin Chao's house, put on Yin Chao's clothes, picked up the His outfits, dressing himself up, and hiding from the sky have become "old cinders".

The huge crisis showed all his ingenuity. When in the fire, Yin Ping even remembered the theory that "twins have different fingerprints" from some tabloid, and reluctantly burned his hand.

Afterwards, as the person on the phone said, the matter was not investigated with much fanfare, but Zangzangyeye called him to ask him a few times, and the last time he went to the police station, he met a policeman, the person meant He gave him a deep smile, and greeted him, "Here you come?"

These two words scared Yin Ping into a cold sweat, and then he knew what Yin Chao meant by "someone leaked secrets from the police" - that policeman was the one who called him!

Yin Ping has always been greedy for money, but this time he was very clever. He didn't dare to covet the 500,000 promised by those people. That night, he shaved his hair unconsciously and turned into an "ordinary boiler". Worker”, dragged Yin Chao’s belongings to a barren mountain and set it on fire, making the old cinder disappear from the world completely.

He reluctantly used the boiler to burn himself again, and every day he made himself disgraced in the coal ash, his shoulders shrunk, and he completely hid himself in the status of a docile boiler worker.

For fourteen years, he lived a simple and impoverished life.

The old man passed away, the child became an adult, and the big locust tree grew steadily thicker in the wind and rain. No one knew that there was a corpse buried under the root of the tree. Over time, even Yin Ping himself forgot about it. The cha song is just his delusion, he has never had a brother who is jealous and hated, and has never touched that night that seems to never be lit——

But why did fate refuse to let him go? Why did Nanwan, who had been calm for so many years, become evil and wanted to reform and investigate the population, and even the police came to check on Yin Chao?

Why did that person rot into a puddle of mud under the big locust tree, and he still wanted to linger!

Yin Ping's small electric car that almost fell apart made a "hum" sound, and every welding spot was shaking at the overwhelmed high speed. He rushed through the screaming crowd and directly ran over the stalls of the hawkers on the ground. Turning a deaf ear to the screams and scolding, he rushed towards the place desperately - there used to be a row of old small houses, and now the word "demolition" is written everywhere, only the old locust tree that stood there in the Qing Dynasty didn't move. Sensual and sympathetic looking at those who came and went.

The sound of the approaching siren pierced the sky, and someone shouted his name from the loudspeaker, but Yin Ping only saw the tree.

For a moment, he felt that he saw a figure in the iron fence, with the back of his head smashed into it, staring at him bitterly—

Tao Ran had already seen Yin Ping's back. For some reason, he couldn't stop feeling flustered. He stepped on the gas pedal to the bottom. With his 10-year driving experience, he used his driving skills to the fullest. He waved his hand to signal for himself to go first, and at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Two pickups suddenly appeared and clamped towards Yin Ping!

Before Tao Ran could think about it, he slammed the steering wheel. He was about to push his motorcycle-riding colleague behind him and rushed over by himself.

The police car crashed between the two pickups, the rearview mirror scratched Yin Ping's handlebars, and then a sharp sudden braking sound rang in the alley. The car was thrown into the sky, and at the same time, the three cars inevitably collided into a ball, and the broken glass slag was "splashed" like a storm, and there was a loud noise——
