    "As long as you speak, I believe in everything."

    Wu Yu's expression seemed a little strange, but it didn't float on the skin, so even the slightest shadow change could not express the expression at that moment.

    The air of stalemate froze, and eyes of different meanings were intertwined on him in all directions. After a long period of stillness for a few seconds, he finally opened his mouth slowly, a little hoarse because he hadn't spoken for a long time, but he was very calm:

    "I have nothing to say."

    ——There is really nothing to say, Lin Kang, who should explain, has explained clearly, but he can't produce evidence.

    The truth in this world is so helpless, even if the whole world is willing to believe what happened in the twelve years, but without that thin piece of paper with a red seal, no matter how tragic sacrifices and no matter how hard a feat, they will follow. Become a little weak, a little unsure.

    Bu Chonghua still looked at him persistently: "Say anything, just tell us Lin Kang is telling the truth."

    "...'Truth'." Wu Yu slowly repeated these two words, and then the shadow on his cheek moved slightly. This time he could finally see that it was a short-lived smile: "You don't understand, step team, words It’s actually meaningless now."

    He called him "Step Team".

    Bu Chonghua suppressed his emotions forcibly: "No, Wu Yu, the language of this world is effective as long as it is spoken, listen to me..."

    "I didn't call Wu Yu originally."

    Bu Chonghua stopped for a moment.

    "I didn't have a name, and I didn't know what year I was born. Every family in the village ate opium. When I ate it to a certain level, my mind became mad, and my parents were no exception. The year I first started mowing the fields. They didn’t know how they died. Father died at once. Before leaving, Mom told me that she had a younger sister. She fled to the outside to ask for a living when she was young. If one day that younger sister comes to me, tell me to be sure Go with her to live a good life'outside' and see the big world."

    Bu Chonghua vaguely guessed who the "sister" was. As expected, Wu Yu paused and said, "About the second year after my mother left, there were several adults in the village of Youtian. Among them, I saw a woman first. I know who she is. Because she looks exactly the same as my mother, really exactly the same, even me and her look alike."

    "She is the mother of Jie Xing."

    ——That very good-looking young woman wearing a pink silk shirt and a white pleated skirt, squatting in front of the grove with a smile on her face, holding a small child who looks extremely similar to herself in her arms.

    The immature face was tight, and he stared at the camera cautiously from the bottom up. The blood-gray sky of the border poison village more than 20 years ago was reflected in the children's eyes, without the slightest smile.

    "She wanted to take me away, but the other people with her told her that the preparations were not complete this time. Although it is legal and legal for them to come here, if they take a child back, they will take the smuggling route. Border defense' I haven’t taken care of it yet’. So she had to leave the village with those people first. Before leaving, she told me that she had a child about the same age as me, called Jie Xing, seven years old this year, so I’ll be called Agui in the future. It is also counted as seven years old. She said that she would definitely come back after waiting for a month or two at the most. Then she would take me away completely and go to a big city with no opiums, no poppies, and spring all year round, and explain to her son Live together."

    "I believe it, I'm very happy. You see, that year I finally had a name and age, but I didn't expect that was the last time I saw her."

    Wu Yu laughed sadly.

    "Half a year has passed, a year has passed, and more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. She was gone forever, and never came back."

    "..." Bu Chonghua asked ardently, "Why?"

    "I don't know why, but I really want to know. After all, that was the first opportunity in my life to change my destiny." Wu Yu also laughed a little bit at this point: "Until more than ten years later, I was protecting Ma Yin Deli finally gained a certain position in Thayer, the "big owner" in our entire village. He tried to win the first opportunity to participate in the drug gang's "trading" from him, which was to sneak across the border and sneak into the north. Monitoring and facilitating a drug transaction related to Thayer. But in fact, I tried my best to find out what happened. At that time, I had spent several years of effort and time to find out his whereabouts."

    Bu Chonghua's expression changed uncontrollably. He finally remembered that on the night after Ma Yin died, Wu Yu was leaning against the co-driver in the car galloping towards the hospital, muttering to him the memory fragments that flashed back in disorder— —

    "The first time I met Agui, it was an internship in my sophomore year. I carried out an arrest mission with the anti-drug team. The first time I met him, he saved my life..."

    "Emergency help! Urgent help! Two sellers broke through the encirclement and are running away!"

    "Stop-uh!..."

    "Do you want to die, little policeman, the hands of those two men with full pockets|Did you see Ray?"

    ...

    "Yes, all the plots in the story have actually happened, but the protagonist who was supposed to be standing in the center of the stage has already changed clothes with the double." Wu Yu curled his lips shortly, drawing a straight line: "And I went to see him at the time with a simple motive, just to ask why his mother didn't come in the end. It didn't cost much nonsense, because Jie Xing also recognized me at first sight."

    "...You...I know you." In the bushes, he only heard Xinxing panting in shock, his pupils tightened, and he said in disbelief: "Are you Agui? Are you Agui?!"

    It was the first time they looked at each other. Agui thought that the expectation, longing, disappointment and resentment for so many years would make it difficult to utter this sentence, or become hysterical once he uttered it; but in fact, he was calmer than he expected. .

    He heard himself say calmly: "I have been waiting for her."

    The chaotic capture scene and the flashing police lights in the distance were all silent for a moment. Only these two extremely similar faces faced each other, just like fate made a bad joke, and it took a long time to understand that the throat trembled and slipped:

    "She knows, so she went to you twice."

    Agui was startled.

    "After she came back that year, she looked for people to take care of it, and soon went to Myanmar again, but she encountered civil strife in Shan State as soon as she set off, and fierce fighting broke out between the Allied and government forces. The snakehead she hired refused to continue to venture in. In the armed rebellion area, she can only go home. The next year, she fell ill and had a part of her body tissue removed. She missed the peace period of a few months before the general elections in Myanmar. When she recovered, she got up and dressed up. Hiring and smuggling across the border, the time was too late. The Burmese army suddenly announced the overthrow of the election results. The situation immediately deteriorated again. The Meng Thai army in the Golden Triangle Khunsha rapidly expanded in Shan State, and the large and small drug gangs began to divide. The site, your village was completely sealed off after being occupied by the armed drug lord named Thayer. When she came back, she said that the Shan State Army was stationed on every hill, and every village was guarded by heavy artillery. Every piece of farmland was It was burned by militants, and the villagers were driven to plant poppies like cattle and sheep. She almost never returned."

    Agui stood motionless, his mind blank.

    He heard machine guns blaring in the woods, flames covering the village farmland, and camouflage trucks blasting past burning ridges; he saw rows of soldiers in camouflage uniforms flying into the sky in the explosion, and they turned into Pieces of stumps and arms were broken, and the smoke of gunpowder covered the fearful cry and cry of the villagers.

    "She didn't wait until the day when she saw the fighting subsided with her own eyes." Xie Xing's eyes were red, and said: "She died the year the Mongolian Army surrendered, and the cancer recurred."

    She had not survived those drug lords, in fact, even the big drug lords could die, and the ashes could be spilled into the sea.

    "But mom didn't forget you until she passed away, Agui. She left me the picture and said you might still be alive in this world."

    "She said that if I can find you someday, I must find a way to bring you back to this world from the side of the poppy field."

    ...

    "When I was young, I thought that Jie Xing's mother had abandoned her promise, but in fact she never forgot to find me. Ten years ago I thought Zhang Boming had abandoned the life of an undercover agent for justice, but Zhang Boming was still planning for me at the last moment. "Wu Yu's eyes are bloodshot, standing in the shadow of the cement pillars of the unfinished building, looking at Bu Chonghua calmly: "Zhang Boming, Jie Xing, Hu Liangan and even Lin Kang, everyone I have met over the years has done it all. The best effort, everyone did not give up to pull me out of that hell, but all efforts were ultimately to no avail. Civil strife, war, disease, death... Every accident of fate is actually a natural result of reason. I wrote today’s ending from the very beginning."ωωω.999xs.co\m\

    This ending is not entirely bad either.

    During the war in the Golden Triangle in the 1980s, and in the 1990s Shan State used poison to raise its army. Countless local people were displaced. After being forcibly mutilated and dumb, they were driven into opium plantations as cattle and horses, and countless people died under the poppy fields. Under the background of that era, a young orphan could survive and survive to stand here today, which is the good luck that more unjust dead souls can't even imagine.

    "People like you shouldn't come into contact with those, step team. You look at me as if you are standing on this flat ground. In fact, under your feet are the land of thousands of miles, and under my feet are countless corpses." Wu Yu smiled. Said: "I don't want to climb up on the bones of Jie Xing anymore. When he left, his body was already scarred enough."

    Bu Chonghua was choked by a sharp pain: "But—"

    "Calm down and step by step." At this moment Jiang Ting stepped forward at some point, and patted him on the shoulder from behind: "Let them take Wu Yu away first. It really won't work if you don't make it clear."

    Bu Chonghua pinched his fingernails tightly.

    The three of them stood by the corner of the wall near the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the leader of Secretary Weng Song Ping was standing in the hall almost ten steps away. Only Yan Xiu looked at Jiang Ting, his keen intuition seemed to smell a certain kind of anxiety, and he subconsciously took two steps forward.

    "You shouldn't have insisted on coming here with us today. If there is a disturbance, it is risky for you." Jiang Ting paused, then persuaded: "Let's go, let Wu Yu go and make it clear. "

    Bu Chonghua stared straight at Wu Yu, only to see him smile for the last time, which seemed a little sad and regretful, then cast his eyes down and walked towards the crowd.

    Just now got up and asked for tricks, but was actually in the chaos. Now, seeing Wu Yu giving up resistance and taking the initiative to come here, the nerves of the leaders who were tense to the extreme were slightly relaxed.

    Jiang Ting also took a half step back naturally, and turned to face everyone.

    "... Let him make it clear." Bu Chonghua trembled slightly in his tail and asked, "But how can I say this kind of thing clearly now?"

    Indeed, if everything in this world can be clearly argued, then there will be no such word in the dictionary as unjust, false and wrongly filed. Lin Kang hesitated, and just wanted to say something, but Wu Yu stopped and smiled back:

    "I know I can't say it clearly, but I still have to finish the things that should be done."

    Everyone was taken aback.

    At this moment, Yan Xiu lost his voice: "——Stop!"

    The voice hadn't landed yet, Bu Chonghua's heart was clear, but it was too late - Jiang Ting was standing with his back facing Wu Yu, and he caught his throat as soon as he stretched out his hand, and drew him in front of him like lightning:

    "Stop for me!"

    The scene solidified in an instant, Jiang Ting cried out in exclamation, and Wu Yu abruptly dragged him back a few steps, Kang Dang stepped on the edge of the empty window sill!

    "Don't come over, or I will jump with him!"

    "You fucking stop me!" "Team Strict!" "Call people, call people!" "The team is still here and you can't call people!!"

    Lin Kang was stunned. Bu Chonghua didn't know how to react. Yan Xiu was held back by Song Ping like a furious lion. The scene was like an exploded frying pan, everyone was shouting, everyone was going round and round. As soon as the director subconsciously took out his mobile phone to make a call, he was snatched off by Secretary Weng’s eyes and smashed. Don't call the police!"

    These words are usually black humor, but no one can laugh at this moment.

    "Get me a car, delist, fill up the gas, and open the door. Put two thousand dollars in the car." Wu Yu said coldly. "Move fast. I know that the net that just caught Lin Kang has been closed. Now we are both dead!"

    Song Ping roared: "Don't mess around!"

    "Put down Jiang Ting, he didn't apologize to you!" Yan Xi broke free and rushed for two steps, Li Hou utterly shocked: "Don't you know what the answer is, you quit school undercover, Wu Yu?! You want to admit that you are a drug dealer. Do you want to be accused of committing suicide after death?!"

    This questioning hit the nail on the head, every word was taking on the other's weakness, but suddenly Jiang Ting's trembling voice rang: "Don't...don't be afraid, Yan Xi."

    As many of his eyes focused, Jiang Ting was trembling all over, because his throat was clamped and he had difficulty vocalizing: "Remember...remember when we were in Yuanlongxia?"

    Yan Xiu froze like an electric shock.

    Jiang Ting looked at the crowd with fear, as if he was both strong, self-comfortable and very weak, but he still reluctantly trembled and smiled: "If I die today, I will...I will also be the unsurpassable in your heart. The winner is."

    Among all the people present, no one except the two of them knew what happened in Yuanlong Gorge--in an instant, Yan Xiu's suspicious eyes touched Jiang Ting.

    "..."

    Yan Xiu's tight back muscles loosened a bit, but no one noticed the change in the chaos, and he stopped moving suspiciously.

    "Don't talk nonsense." Wu Yu was completely blocked behind Jiang Ting, and said coldly: "Ten minutes to you, park the car under the southeast wall of this building, otherwise Professor Jiang will die."

    This scene is simply ridiculous. The person Yundian sent with the ticket was promoted to detachment leader by Jinhai, and then kidnapped the Associate Professor of the Jianning Police Academy from Gongzhou in front of the heads and brains of Jinhai, and even more terrifying was the Jianning detachment. Chang Huan Masaki watched at the scene. Throw this pot out without knowing who to hit.

    What’s more absurd is that because of Zhang Zhixing’s special occupation, the play that was temporarily decided to perform in order to arrest him was not prepared at all. It was purely that Wu Yu and Lin Kang requested instructions from the leaders remotely through the phone-and considered The reason why the Tea Horse Road could not be exhausted if the news leaked. At that time, the twenty-odd municipal party committee leaders who held confidential meetings at the municipal bureau, all in accordance with the secrecy regulations, were transferred to the scene of the unfinished building arrests, and even sneaked in secretly. Bu Chonghua from Jinhai didn't miss it!

    Now it is impossible for them to hide Bu Chonghua and then rush to call the police. The only local police present at the scene are Song Ping and the technical directors of the city bureau. Do you expect them to rush to fight Wu Yu and rescue the hostages?

    The atmosphere was very tense. Several directors looked at Song Ping in a panic, and Song Ping looked at Secretary Weng. Secretary Weng thought for a few seconds, turning his head to say: "Do as he said, and be sure not to disturb the district police."

    Several people didn't need his instructions a second time, and then turned around and ran out of the unfinished building. Soon someone rushed back and whispered something in the ear of the leader. Secretary Weng turned to Wu Yu and said in a deep voice, "The car and cash are all ready."

    ——This is probably the fastest ransom preparation process in history. Even the bank is closed, it is difficult to collect money, and there is no use for excuses such as not being able to find non-linked old banknotes. After all, the kidnapper only costs two thousand yuan.

    Wu Yu grasped Jiang Ting's throat with a hand with protruding muscles and bones like iron tongs, and said lightly: "Get out of the way."

    Everyone looked at each other, and Bu Chonghua wanted to say something, but he forced himself to endure it, as everyone slowly retreated to the corner.

    Wu Yu didn't look at him again, using Jiang Ting's body as a shield, slowly moved against the wall to the side of the iron ladder on the floor, and then stepped back downstairs.

    Song Ping and Bu Chonghua looked at each other, and immediately stepped forward, Yan Xi also quickly followed with a gloomy expression.

    The dim and deserted building is now at a stretch. Wu Yu is holding Jiang Ting under control, confronting the leading group of Jinhai City with more than twenty people. Five or six floors, until the corner of the fourth floor, it stopped suddenly.

    Wu Yu's chest continued to rise and fall. Looking out from the window on his side, a black car with an open door started and stopped on the construction site downstairs. The car lights reflected two red lights in the dark night.

    On the fourth floor, there is a support frame outside the building, which is already a relatively safe height.

    If you go down from this height, it will take another one or two minutes for the chasers to rush to the ground from the stairs, and the escape time will be more calm, and it will be safer to release the hostages after driving out of the trackable range.

    Wu Yu swallowed, and in the dark saw Jiang Ting in front of him move his fingers backwards, it was a urging gesture.

    "...Don't jump, Wu Yu." At this moment, Yan Xi seemed to feel something, and a trembling voice rang in the upper corridor: "Jiang Ting is not in good health. He will be dangerous if he goes down at this height. "

    Jiang Ting's movements suddenly froze.

    "Yes, it's okay for you to go out from the first floor." Bu Chonghua was also unsure, but overall he remained calm and calm: "We won't follow, no one will stop you. You listen to me, go to the main entrance of the building. "

    "..."

    Jiang Ting paused. Wu Yu stood behind him. Neither of them could see each other's expressions, but their breathing became a little heavier.

    They just stood in the shadow of the corner of the stairs. There were more than twenty people squeezed in the upper layer in front of them. The air in the stalemate was silently tightened and evacuated every second, like sharp claws grabbing their hearts and lungs. Squeeze out bursting bloodshot eyes——

    Jiang Ting gritted his teeth and made an extremely concealed gesture backwards, meaning to jump!

    "Wu Yu! Jiang Ting has been lying in bed in a car accident for three years!" Yan Xiu suddenly yelled out loudly: "If you still have some conscience, let go of him. He has had a craniotomy! He really can't—"

    At this moment.

    Wu Yu pushed forward fiercely, Jiang Ting was caught off guard, and slammed into the handrail of the corridor; he could not stand firmly, and suddenly turned his head, there was a strong wind from his side, Bu Chonghua flew down from the upper corridor!

    But he was still half a second slow.

    Wu Yu leaned back, jumped out of the window, and the cold wind rushed into his ears; Bu Chonghua tried his best to reach out only enough time to touch the corner of his clothes, and then his palm was empty!

    "Wu Yu!!"

    His body fell sharply, and the night sky got farther and farther, leaving only Bu Chonghua's frightened, sad, and anxious face in his vision.

    The picture was immediately overwhelmed by fragments of memory flying through the sky.

    Thousands of crystal clear snowflakes hovered in the wind, and each one reflected the years of war and the old and yellowed vision, and reflected countless selves who were crying, running, working, and struggling. Wu Yu closed his eyes in the heavy snow, and he saw a young child in a distant village, waiting alone, his pupils reflected the boundless bloody sky——

    "I have a child who is seven years old this year. He is called Ahang. Why not call you Agui from now on!"

     "Bath is like Yi, wind is like dancing, chanting and returning-it means blowing a breeze, singing, and going home happily in a peaceful and peaceful world."

     "Agui, one day I will take you to a country where there are no poppies blooming. You can go to school with Axing and go home happily together!"

     "There is no land where poppies bloom," he muttered inwardly.

     Suddenly the wind whizzed away, and time traveled upstream in the long river, returning to that withered and dilapidated border village more than ten years ago——
