   Darkness and silence.

    "...Wu Yu..."

    Is anyone calling me?

    "...Wu Yu...Wu Yu! Wake up!"

    As if being pulled out of the water from the groggy and painful deep water, Wu Yu suddenly opened his eyes, and the next second a burning pain swept across his body from his chest, causing him to curl up on the cold ground, and suddenly choked out a mouthful of blood. !

    "How are you? Where did you get hurt?" A familiar arm hugged him tightly: "Wu Yu! Look at me! Wu Yu!"

    Wu Yu gasped quickly, and the dim light made him subconsciously squint, and then he saw Bu Chonghua in a daze.

    The blood on Bu Chonghua's forehead went down his face, it was dry, his face was terribly pale, and his lips were all chapped. Wu Yu opened his mouth, feeling the warm liquid flowing down the skin of his lips in the intense dizziness, and it took a long time to realize that it was blood.

    "……you……"

    "I'm okay, but you are hurt." Bu Chonghua hugged Wu Yu and sat up, letting him sit in his arms, and whispered: "The car fell over from your side and should have hit him. The head, abdominal cavity, and internal organs are also affected a bit. Don't move around, be careful of internal bleeding."

    Wu Yu closed his eyes, and barely recovered a trace of consciousness from the terrible spinning around the earth for a while, opened his eyes and barely looked around: "This is..."

    Bu Chonghua was silent and did not answer.

    The surrounding area is very dark, it looks like an abandoned warehouse, and the surrounding walls are blue and moldy due to the long-term seepage of water. The only small window on the height was nailed to death by a few wooden boards, the iron door latch was closed, and the outside must be locked.

    A dark shadow curled up in a corner more than ten meters away. Wu Yu's eyes were fixed. With the extremely dim light in the cracks of the window, his face changed uncontrollably: "Peng Wan?!"

    The black shadow moved hard, raised his head dullly, and finally revealed the plain face of Peng Wan in the profile photo, but his face was pale and blue as a dead person at the moment, holding a motionless child in his hand, if not breathing There are also slight ups and downs, it looks like it is dead, it should be her three-year-old son Peng Ze.

    "Where is this place? What time is it now?" Wu Yu sat up reluctantly, "Why are we here?"

    "She was already here when I first woke up." Bu Chonghua leaned against the wall and was definitely injured. It was just that he could not see clearly in such a dark visual condition, and could only hear a very hoarse voice: "It should be. It was the people who crashed on the road who moved us here. Judging from hunger, thirst and the degree of light and dark outside, about 18 to 20 hours have passed. It should be the next afternoon."

    "What do they want to do?"

    "I don't know." Bu Chonghua said with a wry smile: "The only window here has been sealed, and the door is locked from the outside. I have tried no matter how I can't open it. I can only bolt it inside, and I can't touch it at all. Clear the other party's idea."

    Wu Yu's brain buzzed, his temples throbbed, and he stood up hard by gritting his teeth, staggering forward regardless of the severe pain in the chest and abdomen, pulling out the latch and swaying the door, but the solid double-layer solid wood clad iron plate did not move. , Only the dust rustled down, making him cough again.

    "Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough cough cough-"

    "It's okay, it's okay," Bu Chonghua hugged him hard, pushed the latch back firmly, and squeezed Wu Yu's head in his arms, hurriedly rubbing: "There will be nothing, rest assured, nothing will happen..."

    How could nothing happen?

    Who shut them in, why didn't they kill them when they were locked, and what did the other party want to do? !

    "...Don't waste your effort..."

    Suddenly there was a faint and trembling female voice in the corner, and Bu Chonghua suddenly turned his head. It was Peng Wan!

    This was the first time Peng Wan spoke after they woke up. Probably because of being too thirsty, she was so hoarse that she did not look like a living person, and she looked like a female ghost in this cold cell: " They just want us to die, ha, they just want us to die..."

    "Who are they?"

    "It's them," Peng Wan said vaguely, "the one who brought us here."

    The two looked at each other, and suspiciousness arose in their hearts at the same time. Bu Chonghua hugged Wu Yu to the corner of the wall and sat down. He supported the wall and walked around to check her and her son's situation, but before he got closer, he only heard Peng Wan scream and hugged the child nervously: "Don't come over! Don't come over!"

    Bu Chonghua said: "I am a police officer from the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Nancheng Branch. We have been investigating the case of your kidnapping by Ding Sheng and Deng Le. The night when the two kidnappers were shot..."

    That evening.

    The four words seemed to be a switch, causing Peng Wan's whole body to tremble, making it clear in such a dark room.

    "——What happened on the night Ding Sheng was shot?" Bu Chonghua was seriously injured, but still keenly noticed the subtlest changes in her emotions: "You see the looks of the murderers, and you know who they are. right?"

    Peng Wan was trembling all over, holding her child desperately to shrink into the corner: "I don't know anything, don't come over, don't come over..."

    "Did Wan Changwen bring you here?"

    "I don't know, I don't know..."

    "Who gave you that human bone helmet, why didn't Wan Changwen take your son?"

    "Shut up! Ahhhhh!" Peng Wan had a nervous breakdown, and scrambled forward to beat and push Bu Chonghua desperately: "Stop talking! You go away! You go away!!!"

    The next second she was pushed down mercilessly by Juli, and she staggered to sit on the ground. I saw Wu Yu rushing up to protect Bu Chonghua, pushing him to the other side with all his might, turning around and staring at her sitting on the ground, crying and crying weakly, and said coldly, "How does it feel to blame yourself?"

    Peng Wan's venting bitter cry suddenly stopped.

    "When you pretended to be your husband and kidnapped yourself, did you think about it now? Aren't you afraid of burning your hands when you got the human bone helmet from Qin Chuan?" Wu Yu pointed to the weak and unconscious child on the ground, "A mother put her young son in this situation , Do you have any regrets, Peng Wan?"

    "!!!"

    Peng Wan froze there firmly, even Bu Chonghua was taken aback.

    "...What are you talking about?" Peng Wan inhaled, as if he had heard something extremely ridiculous: "Kidnapping myself? Why should I do that?"

    Wu Yu shook his head and laughed shortly. Amidst the ridicule, he was somewhat helplessly sad: "Because your husband never wanted you to disappear. Indeed, he has derailed, his character is low, he is full of lies, his credibility is doubtful... But one thing is true, that is, he never thought about divorcing you. The only person who wants you to disappear is you."

    Peng Wan's lips trembled: "...You talk nonsense, you talk nonsense..."

    Wu Yu interrupted her next sentence: "Qin Chuan came to contact you two months ago, right?"

    Peng Wan was nailed there.

    "Qin Chuan is an extremely successful broker. The so-called broker is doing business with a strong reputation and a powerful intelligence network. I guess Qin Chuan has not let you leak out of his network for so many years, at least he can let you I always remember him as a person, so when he reappeared two months ago, you will not be particularly surprised. At the same time, you accept his proposal to transfer the human bone helmet to Wan Changwen, because it is your departure from the present An important opportunity for this kind of life."

    "Your company often places overseas orders for horror simulation haunted house equipment, and has its own customs declaration channel. This is very important for Qin Chuan, otherwise it should be difficult for him to transport things like human bone helmets back to China. But the sad point is that even you I got this helmet smoothly, and there is no place to store it-you live with your parents-in-law and your personal space is not respected at all. When the police are investigating the kidnapping case at your house, I saw your mother-in-law look through your closet and know her way easily. You won’t knock on the door when you enter the bedroom of your husband and wife; the office is a good place for many people to hide things, but the nature of your work determines that you often run back and forth in various parks, shopping malls, and playgrounds. If a colleague turns over your things, the helmet is easy There is not enough space in the rear box of the electric car, and the small cloth packing it is too conspicuous, and the trunk of the family car is at the risk of being discovered by the husband; in desperation, you applied for the amusement park haunted house preparation project two months ago, because In the haunted house, no one would doubt that the head in midair is not a fake."

    "I don't know what you said," Peng Wan said hoarsely with her fingers tightly twisted: "What kind of head, what helmet, I'm just working for the boss..."

    "It's useless if you don't admit it, Peng Wan." Wu Yu said lightly, "You don't need to doubt this kind of thing. Once you check it, it's easy to find evidence. The foreign orders, customs documents, logistics materials, handover records you handle... The human bone helmet that you installed in the agency has been found by our colleague. As long as it is sent for technical investigation, it is absolutely covered with your fingerprints. How can you run away?"

    Peng Wan's eyes widened instantly, and her mouth was completely bloodless.

    "I guess Qin Chuan chose you because he knew you were not ignorant of Wan Changwen's whereabouts." Wu Yu paused in his voice and said, "I don't know how you communicated with your father. , But I guess you have seen how rich he is and how quickly the drug business comes in. Wan Changwen is the only hope to take you out of this stagnant water, but you also know that once you and your son disappear, the Tao family and the police will both At the same time fry the pan, your father will not accept you who were followed by countless police officers, just like when the police attacked the village, he did not hesitate to throw the four-year-old you off the boat."

    "So you have to find a way to get rid of Golden Cicada, and at the same time prove to Wan Changwen that you have the ability and means to be his daughter, worthy of returning to Myanmar with him, and will not become a burden for him to smuggle out of the country."

    "So I planned this kidnapping case to tie myself? Why use such an extreme method?" Peng Wan seemed to hear a very absurd joke: "Can't I get a divorce and then disappear secretly? Can't I pretend to take the child to travel and disappear? Obviously there are so many ways..."

    "The disappearance of the scenic spot can be searched, the movement is too big and uncontrollable; the divorce takes too long, and the Tao family will fight you desperately for the custody of the child. Wan Changwen will not risk to help you, and more importantly, he plans Smuggling should have been recently? Otherwise, you wouldn’t start acting so suddenly."

    Peng Wan was speechless for a while: "... Then, am I not afraid of them calling the police?! Once Old Tao calls the police, I will be exposed faster?! And what if the kidnapper hurts my son? Have you ever thought about this common sense?! "

    "I thought about it, so I thought you were quite smart, you deserved to be a technical man." Wu Yu said in a straightforward manner, without any irony at all: "If you were kidnapped without your son, your father-in-law will definitely insist on calling the police. No one can tell him to take out 440,000. If the ransom is set too high and exceeds the price that the Tao family can pay, they will cry for a long time at most and call the police. The police can also be the first time. You know you are missing. So you set the price of the ransom for your mother and child very cleverly. A lottery ticket is exchanged for the precious "grandfather grandson". Although the heartache, it can still bear the teeth. Therefore, the possibility of the Tao family calling the police is very small and unlimited. Approaching zero."

    Peng Wan screamed: "But Tao Zhengqing called the police! Did you know that our mother and son were almost torn apart! Look at my injury! Look at—"

    "Speak well and don't take off your clothes." Wu Yu sighed and said, "The tore ticket was torn because the kidnapper had an accident while taking the ransom. He thought he was photographed, so he evacuated the amusement park urgently without even having the money. The police Knowing that you were kidnapped was purely accidental. It was just because your mother-in-law was crying in the street. It happened that the patrolman passed by and found out that while questioning her, she found the money bag from the trash can, otherwise your mother-in-law would probably be killed. Said."

    Peng Wan froze there, and the whole person was stunned.

    "...They didn't call the police?" she murmured, "Not the police they called?..."

    "Yes, no." Wu Yu looked at her sadly, "If this can give you some comfort."

    Peng Wan looked back at him blankly, not only the pale face, but also the whole body was frozen, unable to speak.

    "If no one took photos when the kidnappers took the money, if your mother-in-law was crying and there was no police officer who happened to pass by, then judging from the strong distrust of the Tao family towards the police, at least three or four days before calling the police - and you worked hard to get it. The three or four days of the blank period is just enough for you to take your child and wear a human bone helmet to escape. When the police toss and find Ding Sheng, Deng Le, and then follow the vine to catch your husband, everyone will think that your husband is cheating. It was only after cheating and colluding with outsiders that he killed his wife and children. By that time, it is estimated that you have smuggled out of the country with Wan Changwen and changed your name and started a new life in the Golden Triangle."

    "You must have considered a lot for planning this operation, Peng Wan. I guess when you were pretending to be Tao Zhengqing and communicating with the kidnappers, you repeatedly told him that this was just a play and not really hurt the hostages, so when Ding Sheng thought Tao Zhengqing he called the police. I was so shocked and angry that I didn't understand how I was betrayed by my accomplices."

    Wu Yu leaned forward slightly and looked at Peng Wan's desperate eyes, with a mixed feeling: "This plan should have been perfect. Everyone has been used by you. If it weren't for a series of emergencies, it would be completely out of control. if."

    Peng Wan's trembling lips moved, and finally suddenly awakened from the shock, disbelief, and mixed emotions just now, and yelled incoherently, "No, no, it's not the kidnapper that I pretended to be my husband! You have no evidence. You can't talk nonsense!"

    "——Peng Wan." Wu Yu called out her name again, with a helpless ending: "I said just now, all the things you plan are not doubtful, as long as you doubt, you can find evidence. If I Let the technical investigation comprehensively sort out Ding Sheng’s hard drives, network disks, and data traffic records. Back in time, you will surely find out how you usually find him to plan all this; then check the chat time one by one, and look at the conversation IP one by one. After comparing Tao Zhengqing's daily whereabouts one by one, he can always find out his alibi."

    "As long as there is a chat message showing that the IP is at your home, and your husband can prove that he was in a meeting at the time, then all Tao Zhengqing's suspicions will be overturned." Wu Yu looked straight at her red eyes: "Technology is not deceiving. , Peng Wan, only talents can. In this world, the person next to the pillow is the most defensible, and the person next to the pillow is the most unpredictable.” Mobile phone\end one second to remember "www.999xs.com" for you \ Novel\Reading

    Bu Chonghua's eyes moved slightly, seeming to glance in Wu Yu's direction, but his gaze froze in the middle of the way, and took it back inch by inch after a few seconds.

    Peng Wan was completely paralyzed on the ground as if the last bone had been completely removed, her eyes fixed on Wu Yu. Her black eyes were obviously smaller than the white of her eyes. For a moment, Bu Chonghua thought she was going to go crazy and rush to attack Wu Yu, but as soon as he raised his hand to pull Wu Yu behind him, he only heard the low, short laughter from her nose. The interruption came out intermittently, like a rough iron hook scraping across the ice, and then it turned into a hysterical laugh mixed with crying.

    Peng Wan fought all over, his hands and feet cramped, and slowly leaned back against the wall, his messy hair pressed against the moldy wall. She looked at the dark and gloomy void, as if she had seen the most ironic, interesting, absurd and sad comedy with her own eyes. She laughed and shook her mouth full of blood, and she pierced her eardrums with a sharp sound.

    "Peng Wan," Wu Yu seemed unbearable, moved forward half a step, but was held back by Bu Chonghua: "Peng Wan, you..."

    "……mom……"

    The little black figure beside Peng Wan finally squirmed, whether it was a dream or a scream. At first it was so light that neither policeman noticed it, but Peng Wan immediately turned his head.

    "I'm so uncomfortable, mom..."

    At that moment, Peng Wan seemed to be unplugged, nothing happened, and all his madness stopped abruptly.

    She just looked at the child next to her leg, then slowly reached out her hand to hug him tightly and pressed it to her arms, panting for several times, and finally burst into hysterical crying.

    Wu Yu sat down slowly, leaning against Bu Chonghua's shoulder, closing his eyes exhaustedly.

    "When did you start to doubt her?" Bu Chonghua asked in a low voice.

    Wu Yu turned his head slightly to look at him, with some sadness deep in his eyes: "Do you know why she asked her family for a ransom of 444,444? Because of 15 kilograms of gold."

    "Fifteen kilograms of gold?"

    "Yes, when Wan Changwen absconded thirty years ago, in order to keep a basket of 15 kilograms of gold bars, four-year-old Peng Wan was thrown off the ship. The price of gold was 300 US dollars per ounce, and 15 kilograms was 529.1 ounces. The total value is 158,730 U.S. dollars, and the exchange rate for US dollars and renminbi on the day of the accident was 1 to 2.8." Wu Yu smiled bitterly: "Forty-four, forty-four hundred and forty-four renminbi is a father The price of the little girl thrown into the water is also a hurdle that Peng Wan will always worry about in her life."

    Bu Chonghua was stunned.

    "Thirty years have passed, but the four-year-old girl still can't make it through... She still wants to know how much a child is worth in her father's heart."

    As if a sour and bitter current rushed to his throat, Bu Chonghua's Adam's apple slid violently twice, panting and looking back at the daughter of his killer enemy.

    "Baby, my baby," Peng Wan strongly hugged her young son, tears hitting the child's dirty collar: "My dear baby..."

    "Since you love your child, why take him to Wan Changwen?" After a long time, Bu Chonghua finally spoke. This is the first time he spoke to Peng Wan in a fairly normal tone, even though it was suppressed and faintly Pain and anger: "Do you know how dangerous it is to smuggle, how many people will die along the way, and what is the end of being a drug dealer?"

    Peng Wan shuddered, shaking her head without making a sound. After a long while, she finally raised her head and looked at the high window. There were a few bleak rays of light from the wooden slats, reflecting in her eyes.

    "...My mother taught me since I was a child that I must have a boy. When I got married, my mother-in-law also said she wanted a boy."

    She held the child in her arms and smiled with tears.

    "How happy I was when I gave birth to my son. I felt that I was worth it all my life. My mother must feel worth it. My husband was ecstatic, and my mother-in-law praised everybody. I lay on the delivery bed and watched the wrinkles. The crumpled little baby boy feels that he loves him so much, really loves him so much."

    She shook her head with a smile, buried half of her face in the neck of her son's tender neck, and muttered: "But I can deceive others, not myself. No matter how I want to love him, I still hate him in my heart."
