Chapter 56

The time in the ward seemed to be condensed. The pale walls, beds, and glass windows all turned into twisted reflective boards, reflecting the strange light and dizzy white light.

Wow ——

Handcuffed metal impact broke the silent confrontation as dead. Li Yuxin kept shaking with both hands. The whole person seemed to be scattered immediately. It took a few minutes to spit out a sentence on the teeth and fighting. …Know……"

"You think you need to conceal the truth of He Liang's death, and take theft of theft in the past few months. Is it okay after going out?"

"..."

Jiang Pu leaned down and gently said in her ear: "In the early midsummer, in July Weiyang. This sentence means that in the evening of July, the gorgeous and brilliant settled sun fell at 8:00 in a certain place, announcing At the end of your youth, the punishment began, and the long night that came from was the entire execution process. ———— Do you think the punishment of He Liang is over? No, far from. Why don't you think of why you were picked from the beginning Is it you? "

"..."

Li Yuxin's beautiful face was scary, and when he came out, he couldn't hold his breath, but he was caught by Jiang Po for his hands.

Jiang Po was also wrapped in gauze on the three fingers, and Li Yuxin's hand was also injured in the struggle. The two equally white and scarred hands grasped each other, and they even gave people the illusion of holding the right hand tightly with their left hand.

"Tell me," he said, "I take you to get rid of this nightmare, otherwise you can't escape from those people in your life."

"No ..." Li Yuxin whispered, "It's not me ..."

"I'm not the first ... I am in front of me, and still ..."

Jiang Pu eyes flashed.

The metal chain is Dingdang, that is Li Yuxin held Jiang Po's fingers more vigorously, as if he got the courage to get unspeakable from this move:

"But I am in front of me ... both of them, they are all dying."

died.

Both were killed.

As if the day and night are upside down, the scene is replaced. Everything around the ward retreats from the eyes of the girl, and the many times in the nightmare has gradually occupied the field of vision and devour all the senses.

It was the sunset of Jinhong's sunset, and the night rose from the end of the wilderness. He Liang, who was tied to kneel on the ground.

The ghost shadow surrounded the open space, and the girl's legs were so soft that they couldn't stand, and they were stiffly arranged.

"Go to kill him," said a smile in his ear.

"no no……"

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

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

"Go to kill him, otherwise you will also lie with him and lie in the ground."

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

The crying girl was forcibly turned over. Under the pit of the soil, the two rotten corpses held hands and snuggled each other. Their empty eyes were facing the sky, and the black internal organs and maggots were visible in the bones.

"Look, this is the end of the unable to do." The voice still smiled, and it seemed to be very pleasant, saying, "You will bear the punishment together."

You will bear the punishment together-

The girl burst into tears, and her heart-rending wailing rose from the wilderness to the sky, and gradually became the same voice as the desperate choking in the ward:

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

"What wrong did we do to be punished, I don't know, really don't know..."

"You didn't do anything wrong," Jiang Ting wiped away the tears on the girl's face and whispered, "Listen, when I call the policeman in later, about how He Liang was killed, you know what to say."

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

Jiang Ting said: "You dare. He Liang was indeed killed by you, but he died without evidence. If the kidnappers cannot be caught, no one can prove that you were indeed coerced. Do you want to sit for the rest of your life because of other people's crimes? prison?"

Li Yuxin shook her head like crazy.

"Then do you want to go back to school, let the police apply for a meritorious award for you, and restore your reputation in front of all your relatives, friends, teachers, and schools?"

"..."

Li Yuxin's face was pale, and following Jiang Ting's soft and low voice, as if bewitched, she nodded at a loss for a while.

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

Just as he was about to stand up, Li Yuxin grabbed him and pulled him hard like a life-saving straw: "Officer, you—why do you want to help me?"

Jiang Ting didn't answer right away, his face didn't tell the difference between joy and anger, and after a while he turned his head and looked out of the hospital bed.

Through the glass window, Yan Yan was standing in the corridor on the phone from a distance, and it was impossible to hear the movement here.

"...Because the target he really wanted to execute was neither He Liang nor Shen Xiaoqi." Jiang Ting spoke to Li Yuxin's cold ears, his voice so low that only each other could hear: "It was me who betrayed him."

Li Yuxin's pupils suddenly widened.

The voice that was always calm and familiar came from the phone: "It's not He Liang, it's not Shen Xiaoqi... It's me who betrayed him."

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

"Oh, okay." Yan Yan's face showed no abnormality, and he hurriedly said to the mobile phone: "Continue the search and rescue and keep in touch, I will contact you as soon as I have news." Then he pressed a key and put the mobile phone back in his pocket, After a few steps, he stepped forward and hooked Jiang Ting's shoulder: "How is your hand?"

——When he asked this, he clenched Jiang Ting's wrist. At the same time, his other hand slid from Jiang Ting's back shoulder to his back, and gently took off something small from the edge of the belt.

It was the monitor microphone that he pinned up by hugging when he left the ward just now.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter." Jiang Ting's face was unconcealed with exhaustion, and he pulled his hand back: "Don't worry about me."

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

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

Li Yuxin leaned on the snow-white pillow of the hospital bed, her lifeless face finally regained a trace of blood, and when she saw Yan Yan came in, she immediately struggled to get up, speaking very hoarsely: "Can you really count my meritorious performance and send me back to study? "

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

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

——His eyes were quite meaningful, but Li Yuxin didn't notice it, she was fully focused on that promise.

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

Yan Yan narrowed his eyes.

"In July of last year, I was with... He Liang, we were dating. Because of my poor final exam results, my dad was scolding people at home all day, so I ran out angrily and called He Liang to come out with me... ... We both walked along the road until it was dark and we were almost out of the county seat. At this time, a car came to take us home."

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

"It was a silver Hyundai. It was dark at the time, and I couldn't see the driver's face. It was a man in his thirties or forties. Soon after we got in the car, it was like being fascinated and fell asleep for some reason. ."

Yan Yan didn't say a word, and actually couldn't say anything.

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

"When we woke up, we were already in the wilderness, and there was no one around. It was all mountains and wilderness. We were very scared, but we should not call the ground to be disturbed, so we could only keep walking... We spent the next two days in the woods." Li Yuxin couldn't help sobbing: "We didn't have to eat or drink, He Liang was injured, and we all had a fever..."

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

"I didn't know that we were kidnapped at all. It wasn't until I came back that I heard that He Liang's parents received an extortion call." Li Yuxin sobbed: "But we really didn't know it at the time, it was just that I kept walking and walking in the mountains, and I didn't even see anyone else in the first two days!"

Yan Yan seemed to understand something, but he didn't say it, and asked, "What about the third day?"

Li Yuxin's expression seemed to be strangled by someone's throat.

"On the third day, we met..." After a while, she forced a few words out of her throat: "Those who wear black clothes and cover their faces."

- A person wearing black clothes and covering his face?

"How many? Male or female? How did you meet them?"

"I don't know where they came from. On the third day we climbed to the clearing at the top of the hill and passed out. When we woke up, we found these people surrounded by the clearing. He Liang was tied up and kneeling on the ground, begging all the time. , kept begging... I tried to run but they caught me. I desperately called for help, begging them to let us go, but someone held the phone to my ear—"

Li Yuxin's eyes widened, it seemed that so long had passed, and the terror at that time was still deeply immersed in the bone marrow:

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

Yan Yan asked, "Like what?"

"..." Li Yuxin shuddered and said after a while, "There is a pit on the ground."

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

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

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

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

Before He Liang, there were at least a pair of victims!

"...So you killed He Liang?" Yan Xun heard her own voice ask with a humming in her head.

Li Yuxin dodged and avoided his gaze.

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

Yan Yan raised his eyes to look at Jiang Ting, who silently lowered his eyes.

In the ward, only Li Yuxin's shuddering breathing and choking could be heard. After a long time, Yan Yan slowly nodded and said, "Okay."

——Yan Yan is such a person: he rarely talks nonsense when handling cases, and he takes action to solve what he can take action to solve.

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

Jiang Ting breathed a sigh of relief, but it didn't show on his face. He didn't seem to see Yan Yan's sharp line of sight, and the muscles on his face were still relaxed or even relaxed, and he asked Li Yuxin indifferently: "Afterwards, these people let you go?"

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

The girl was incoherent and wanted to hug her head, but she could only wrestle the handcuffs in vain:

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

"Then they filled the pit with soil... ah ah ah!"

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

Yan Xun raised her hand and pressed her eyebrows tightly. With this action, she slowly digested the huge amount of information in Li Yuxin's words just now. After a while, she sighed hoarsely amid the girl's tragic cries.

"The executioner is not a single person, but an organization with perfect mobility. The leader of the organization targets young men and women who love each other. After kidnapping, they are thrown into the barren mountains, where they make extortion calls, send blood clothes, and notify the execution time. The two hostages struggled to survive, and then when the execution time came, the girls were forced to kill the boys, and if the girls did not dare to attack, they would kill both at the same time and bury them hand in hand."

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

Jiang Ting did not speak.

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

"Um?"

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

Although it was a question, Yan Yan's very oppressive ending seemed to hint at something vaguely, causing Jiang Ting to drop his gaze.

Looking from his slightly side cheeks, there are long, beautiful streamlines formed from the eyelashes to the tip of the tail, and it feels a little cold and hard to get close to.

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

Yan Yan said "Huh?"

Jiang Ting ignored him: "Li Yuxin?"

The girl didn't know whether she was crying or collapsed. The wailing has gradually subsided, and her body twitched from time to time. She heard the words and raised her embarrassed face.

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

Li Yuxin bit her lip and nodded.

Jiang Ting turned to Yan Yan: "Although I can't figure out why he was buried elsewhere, is it possible that the kidnappers will use He Liang's body to terrorize the next pair of hostages?"

——This is really too easy to associate, Jiang Ting realized Yan Xun before he finished speaking: "Tianzongshan!"

"Ma Xiang!" Yan Yan took out his mobile phone and dialed the number, and quickly instructed: "The kidnappers are not individuals but gangs, immediately notify the city bureau to send someone to call in and out from 12:00 noon to 12:00 p.m. on July 16 last year. All mountain roads in the hinterland of Tianzong Mountain are monitored, and the target is off-road convoys, so notify me immediately!" He then covered his phone and asked Li Yuxin: "Can you remember any landform features where He Liang was executed, and where He Liang's body was buried? Any information? This is critical! Any detail must be given to the police!"

Under the watchful eyes of the public, Li Yuxin shuddered and said, "Yes."

——She was so sure all of a sudden that not only Yan Yan, but Jiang Ting was also surprised.

"There is a large flaming red tree on the hillside where He Liang is buried. They forced me to stand on the open space and watch the dirt hole be filled up. That person told me on the phone—"

"'I thought you were a fowl rolling in the dirt, but who would have known you would have the fate to see this phoenix tree'." Li Yuxin's face showed a mixture of irony and despair: "That's my life, this is my life. For the first time in my life, I saw the Phoenix Forest with my own eyes."

Yan Yan suddenly raised his phone: "Ma Xiang..."

"Yes! - Hey brother Yan? What's wrong brother Yan?"

"I'm with you, Consultant Lu, and I seem to know why the kidnappers used the blood of the white-tailed sea eagle this time." Yan Yan paused and said, "Also, notify the provincial department and Bureau Lu to use aerial photography to survey the entire Tianzong Mountain., the place where the kidnappers are going to kill Shen Xiaoqi is a phoenix forest."
