"Recently, the Hiroshima police, while pursuing and solving a large criminal case, exchanged fire with lawless elements on the high seas, resulting in a large number of casualties. 43 people have been killed and 4 others are missing, the case ......"

This was played on the radio.

It is already the third day after the naval battle.

Qingcheng Xie had the dream related to the amusement park for three days in a row.

In the dream he is the same as before, trapped in the raggedy Muppet bear, standing blankly, holding the unattended colored ball in his hand, watching the Ferris wheel come down on a person.

His parents, Qin Lao, Xue Xie ......

The Ferris wheel spun, spun, and finally slowly stopped, the surrounding laughter and light sources are dimmed, from the stationary Ferris wheel, came down the familiar figure.

Yu He came to him with a look similar to that of sadness, stopped and looked at Qingcheng Xie without saying a word.

Then he said, "Brother, why did you lie to me."

"......"

Qingcheng Xie tried to talk to him, but no sound came out of his throat.

The boy just looked at him like that, "I really like you. So clumsy a lie that only I would fall for it because I care too much about you ...... but you are lying to me."

"...... You lied to me."

"......"

"Brother Xie, now I have to go."

"......"

"I'm going to go far away and never come back."

"......"

"I've been in this world for twenty years, trying for twenty years, and in the end, I still haven't gotten even one person's heart, I'm really a failure."

" Qingcheng Xie ...... I'm leaving, before I go, can you ......"

He suddenly stopped. Did not say more, eyes flooded with some blood, sad and hate extreme look.

The teenager didn't ask more of the man, nor did he go up to hug the tattered bear puppet again. He just looked at him in silence, the neon lights of the playground flashing behind him in a strange land of light.

--can you hug me?

This phrase he had said many times before, this time, he did not say it again.

He was silent, he used all his life and strength to love a person, to fight for a person's love, but still no response.

The flame on the tail of the little fire dragon finally burned to the point where the lamp dried up and he could no longer scrape some strength out of his body to beg for one last embrace of his kind.

He took one last deep look at him, turned back, alone, and set out on the road that Qingcheng Xie parents and Ciyan Qin left, his figure fading away ...... until it disappeared ......

Qingcheng Xie wanted to call his name, wanted to ask him to stop, but he could not make any sound ...... nothing to shout ......

Yu He ......

Yu He !!!

"Ho-!"

Qingcheng Xie woke up with a start!

He sat up from the bed, his chest rising and falling sharply.

Reflected in the eye, is a pale.

At this moment, he is not in his own home, these days Qingcheng Xie did not go home, he is in the public security side, where there can be temporary cooperation with the rest of the staff.

The radio on the table was still blaring, reporting on the naval battle of three days ago in detail -

It was the first encounter between the police and Wen Duan's men, and no one expected Wen Duan to have such sophisticated weapons. As the police landed on the Shi He ship and were about to arrest the suspect Yu He, the Mandela completed its deployment in the warehouse and suddenly returned to the ship, and the modified small aircraft on the giant ship took off and swooped at the same time, launching a suicide/suicide attack on the anti-smuggling ship and the military/police on the Shi He ship.

In an instant, the original has been very clear battle was completely reversed, the rain of blood, smoke, corpses ......

The entire sea lost its calm, and the water was stained bright red with blood.

Man Chen is not dead, seriously injured.

Marine police reinforcements found him collapsed in the ruins of the warehouse during the search and rescue, the warehouse was supposed to have been under direct attack by some kind of weapon and had completely collapsed, which was scorched black and littered with bloodied bodies, some of which had been disembodied and some were still burning when the rescue arrived, almost burnt out, even the bodies were illegible.

The Shi He group was thoroughly investigated and all the people involved were questioned according to the law. All of Shi He's businesses, properties, and real estate ...... were sealed off overnight by the police, and Shi He's old house was dug up to search for incriminating evidence.

Things have gotten so big that many things can no longer be kept secret, Qingcheng Xie does not know how many secrets the police have learned, and he has no time to care, these days he continues to cooperate with the investigation, watching the identity of the dead one after another is confirmed, the heart has been very numb, perhaps because of this, he will just have a nightmare like that.

Qingcheng Xie trembled and reached out his hand, trying desperately to calm himself down.

"Knock knock." There was a sudden knock on the door.

Qingcheng Xie : "...... Please come in."

The person who came in was Er Wei.

Er Wei was followed by many police officers, the room was very dimly lit, and Qingcheng Xie was not wearing glasses, so it was impossible to see what their expressions were at the moment.

But he could feel an extraordinary aura, extremely depressing, odd, as if all comers, are worried that he will go crazy and lose his mind.

Qingcheng Xie vaguely forebode something, heartbeat palpitating fast, a sweat.

"What happened to ......." He asked.

Er Wei walks in and sits down next to his bed, a file folder in his hand.

"I have two messages, one message that you won't want to hear and another message that one person doesn't want to tell you. But I think it's important that you be informed." Er Wei said, "This case has become too big to house any bit of emotion that belongs to an individual. Everything has to be about the big picture, and in front of that big picture, there is no longer a willingness, a desire to hear or not to hear. Can you understand what I mean."

He seemed to be trying to prepare Qingcheng Xie as much as possible, trying to reason with him first.

Qingcheng Xie : "You tell me the one I don't want to hear first."

Er Wei was silent for several seconds and said, "A new batch of naval death lists were confirmed today."

"......"

"He's in there."

"......"

Who is he? Who is in the list?

Er Wei did not say, as if he was sure Qingcheng Xie must know.

"He's dead."

"......"

Er Wei stared hard at Qingcheng Xie's face.

"......"

" Yu He is dead."

"......"

Still silent. So quiet that you can hear a pin drop.

Time passed ...... Qingcheng Xie that sickly face with no expression at all, as if he never had a heart, a thousand pounds of heavy rocks could not induce him to ripple.

He didn't lose his cool.

No shock.

Even ...... or even ...... without the slightest reaction, calm and terrible.

No one can peek into his heart.

"......" Er Wei slightly stunned, so test, continued, "the ship is a complete ruin, the forensics have identified a broken limb, after DNA comparison is his. The survivors rescued today, someone also corroborated this, saying he saw Yu He was directly hit by an explosive / explosive / object. It is certain that he is dead."

Qingcheng Xie's eyelashes were motionless, hanging there.

Er Wei : "...... Qingcheng Xie , are you all right?"

In fact, ...... this result unexpected?

Not surprisingly, those who were alive on the first day have been rescued almost, the second two days there are only occasionally one or two survivors, the other came all the news of a line of death.

Qingcheng Xie The neon lights of the amusement park seemed to be flashing in front of his eyes.

He wasn't ...... surprised at all.

No surprise at all ......

The dream of the teenager similar to a sad look as if in front of him, the teenager and he said:

"I've been in this world for twenty years, I've worked hard for twenty years, and at the end of the day, I still haven't gotten even one person's heart, I'm really a failure."

" Qingcheng Xie ...... I'm leaving, before I go, can you ......"

Is it a dream?

Or is there really a soul in this world?

He complained that he lied to him and was not happy to leave without a proper goodbye, so he came to his dream? Tonight? Before Er Wei came looking for him?

The heart is in mourning.

Er Wei : " Qingcheng Xie ?"

"...... is fine. I'm fine."

After another long time, Qingcheng Xie was nearly stiff and cold, woodenly: "The second thing, what is it. You tell me."

Er Wei's expression became more difficult to understand, he hesitated for a moment and handed the file to Qingcheng Xie: "This was found by the police team during the search of the He family's old house, it was enclosed in a book, the content is incomplete, you'd better read it yourself."

Qingcheng Xie opened that file bag and inside was some information and a copy of -

Postscript.

Yu He's suicide note.

But it is strange that that suicide note is not written to any individual, the suicide note surprisingly begins with: Comrade officers ......

Qingcheng Xie's hand trembled slightly, and he tried desperately to steady himself.

Face pale, fingers deep, nails are pinched into the flesh of blood, he took the suicide note, slowly, page by page to read on.

The suicide note is long, but hardly gives any personal account of the aftermath, it is more like a note to help the police investigate the case and explain the circumstances.

Yu He wrote on the letter, "I actually don't want this suicide note to actually come in handy because I'm only twenty, I have someone I like, and I don't want to die yet. But there are things I have to do away with, some people have waited too long for a truth, and I finally have such an opportunity to get close, so I just have to take the risk."

Yu He's handwriting is very clear, not as rigid as Qingcheng Xie's, but with its own style and bones.

"As you know, my father, Jiwei He , passed away not long ago from an illness. He suffered from depression, took Bacopa monniera, gradually fibrosed his lungs, endured extreme pain, and then passed away. Almost everyone believed that he suffered from this mental illness because the pressure of the business was so great that he could not support it, even Zhishu Lv, who shared his bed for twenty years."

"But the truth of the matter is that this is not really the case."

"My father lived for seven more days after he was resuscitated, and during those seven days we had a chance to be alone. In a rare moment of great lucidity, he resolved to tell me about a past event that he had investigated and that he had known about for months, and that he had been tormented by it, to the point of being ashamed to face it."

"And this past event that tortured him to death has to do with my mother."

"My mother, Zhishu Lv , studied in my father's laboratory more than twenty years ago, when both were very young, but had decided that the other was the love of their lives, and soon had me, when they were not even officially married. Later, my mother had an accident while staring at the lab ......"

Qingcheng Xie scrolled down a page and Yu He briefly explained in his suicide note how he had suffered from mental Ebola and how his mother had gone from being a woman of gentle character and kindness to a woman who had been affected by the side effects of the drug in order to protect herself and had become a completely different person.

--

"My father thought at the time that she had suffered too much excitement, that the gradual distortion of her appearance had made her feel remorseful and frightened, that she had been treated too differently from before, and that the postpartum anxiety and depression had led to such a great transformation ...... so he understood all her odd perversities. He even advised me once to try to accept her properly."

"But he was not without suspicion in his heart, and that suspicion piled up year after year, and he sensed something different about her in the smallest details of his life. Finally, he became determined to investigate her secret."

"That investigated truth ...... broke him in a flash because he finally knew that this woman who had been by his side for twenty years, this Zhishu Lv , was not the one with whom he had initially fallen in love! She is not the woman who endured the illness and pain to protect their child and give birth to me. She is not."

"This ' Zhishu Lv ' is a fake. Her real name, is 'Rong Wei'."

"!!!" Qingcheng Xie's pupils suddenly closed up, and the hand holding the letter paper was trembling slightly.

The horrifying truth is still unfolding silently on paper: the

"More than 20 years ago, Rong Wei was very fond of my father. She was so proud of her wealthy family background that she was sure that a young and talented entrepreneur like my father, without much background, would choose to be with her for life. She confidently confessed her love to him, but was not expecting my father's rejection."

"Father told Rong Wei that he was already dating Vivian (my mother, the real Zhishu Lv's English name) from the same institute and that Vivian was already having his baby. He was too young to get a license, but he had already discussed with her that they would keep the baby and when the father reached legal age, they would go ahead and get married."

"My father did not know that Rong Wei would be so jealous of my mother - she despised her, she thought my mother was just an ordinary student who had bewitched many people with her beauty. She already hated her kindness and naivety, and after learning that my father was actually married to her, Rong Wei's heart was completely consumed with jealousy."

"We have no way of knowing if Rong Wei tried to redeem her soul at the time. She agreed to a family marriage shortly afterwards, married the husband her parents had arranged for her, and even invited my parents to her wedding, who were not at all wary of her at the time. The marriage may have been an attempt to find a life of her own, or perhaps it was just a disguise, no one knows for sure."

The handwriting on the letter paper was slightly distorted by this point, and the pen ton of a few words cut through the paper. It is self-evident how Yu He was feeling when he wrote this paragraph.

"Soon after, my mother was accidentally infected while visiting her lab, an event that, in retrospect, was engineered by Rong Wei."

"Because of this virus, my mother suffered greatly, but she refused to give up my life, she had a feminine intuition at that time and had realized that Rong Wei wanted to harm her, unfortunately she did not have any evidence, she told people about it, people thought she was too anxious, even my father was just calming her at that time, and did not believe that someone really dared to It was not believed that someone would really dare to break the law in broad daylight."

"The mother was so anxious that she fled Huzhou, trying to get to a place where no one could easily find her and give birth to her child. She was really having some psychological problems at that time, she just took a chance and ran to Yanzhou alone, and ended up not knowing the place, not even bringing enough money, and trying desperately to avoid those who tried to find her and hurt the child in her womb, making herself tired, hungry, dirty, and with a fever ...... When she was at her wits' end, she met two police officers who were on official duty in Yan."

Qingcheng Xie suddenly saw two familiar names -

" Ping Xie , Muying Zhou ."

Yu He writes these words with a single stroke, and the handwriting is more correct than any of the previous ones.

"I mention the names of these two officers here in the hope that after my death, you will be able to carefully and thoroughly investigate the old events of that year with the evidence in hand, and that they have left this world for twenty years without ushering in a justice. I hope that those who are alive will be able to right their names and overturn their cases. Yes, I hereby identify Ping Xie, Muying Zhou, and my own mother Vivian, as the person who set them up to die, Zhishu Lv, the vice president of Shi He Group. That is, Rong Wei!"
