Liu Bo curled his lips and said, "By the way, you are listed in the forensic department of the city bureau and have never come to work for a day. If you don't write back, do you believe me that I will open it for you?"
"Busy, no time."
Huo Xu buttoned the last button of his camouflage uniform, turned around and walked out the door.
"where to?"
Liu Bo became angry when he saw his dead face.
"Go back to camp."
He wanted to see if Ruanruan was okay.
Liu Bo was speechless. He knew about the engagement between Huo Xu and the eldest daughter of the Yu family.
He had also been young and understood this kid's struggles.
As someone who has been through this before, he had actually wanted to give this kid a few words of advice.
But Huo Xu had been hiding his feelings deeply, and he didn't know where to start.
On the way back to the camp, Liu Bo rarely remained silent for a while.
It was Huo Xu who spoke first, breaking the silence, "Have the prisoners confessed? Have the gang behind them been uncovered?"
"Hmph." Liu Bo sneered and said in a serious tone, "It's not that enemies don't get together. You're lucky. The few bastards you caught this time were all organized by Canglang."
Huo Xu's breathing stagnated, and his face changed obviously. Suddenly, he lowered his eyelids to hide the turbulent undercurrent in his eyes, "Did you lie to me about that thing back then?"
"What?"
Liu Bo was driving. Hearing this, he glanced sideways at the man in the passenger seat. When he saw his gloomy expression, he seemed to remember something.
He sighed and said, "Is this still important to you?"
A few years ago, Liu Bo reunited with Huo Xu, a young man who was trapped in the mud and indulged in rebellion.
I saw him smoking, drinking and fighting, like a desperado, walking on the edge of the law all day long.
As a northerner, Liu Bo was very angry.
He personally detained this kid, beat him violently, and educated him, but it was all useless.
Later, he suddenly remembered the arson case several years ago.
The day after that case occurred, the police station received a missing person case from a neighboring province, and a clue provided by the family caught Liu Bo's attention.
They said that after the child disappeared, the family immediately contacted the local police and tracked it all the way here.
Then, after calling nearby surveillance cameras, traces of the suspected missing little girl were discovered.
Later, it was verified that the little girl only had similar clothes to the missing person and was not the same person.
This incident involved a huge black industry chain behind it.
A human trafficking organization called "Canglang".
Because of the difficulty of the case and the cunningness of the gang of extrajudicial gangsters, the public security department was overwhelmed.
As for the arson case on the first day, because it was simple and clear, the murderer turned himself in and was brought to justice after setting the fire. No one connected the two cases.
Not even Liu Bo.
But that time when I saw Huo Xu being beaten until he vomited blood, but still looking so unruly and decadent that he didn't care about life and death, an inspiration suddenly came to his mind.
He told Huo Xu about the abduction case and the "Canglang" organization, and put forward his ideas.
Is it possible that the burnt body was not Tangtang’s?
Could it be that the trafficker realized that he had been exposed and switched the clothes of the two children in order to escape?
Is it possible that Tangtang is still alive in this world?
At the red light ahead, Liu Bo stepped on the brakes and the car slowly stopped in the middle of the road. He laughed and joked, "When I proposed that idea, I just gave you a hope of living like a human being. Now you are no longer what you used to be.
Haven't you gotten over that incident yet? It's been thirteen years, do you still remember what she looks like?"
Huo Xu's breath froze and his face turned pale.
It was like being hit hard on the head from a lucid dream.
For a long time, he smiled palely, with a deep self-mockery on his face.
In fact, he had long known how absurd Liu Bo's unbelievable hypothesis was.
After years of deceiving himself and others, he had already been mentally prepared.
However, he still did a lot of things that seemed ridiculous in silence.
He had excellent grades that year, and several foreign finance universities offered him olive branches, but he rejected them one by one, and then silently applied to the Medical University.
During the years when he was studying medicine, people around him looked at him like a madman.
He is extremely self-disciplined and only sleeps for three hours a day before getting up to study.
He wished he could become a miracle doctor quickly. If he knew medicine, Tangtang wouldn't have a fever that wouldn't go away for three days, and wouldn't have no way to seek medical advice. She wouldn't have to kneel in the health center for two hours, listening to the pitiful moans of the little guy.
Voice.
In order to buy her food, he would not put her alone on a bench in the hospital corridor and cause her to be swallowed up by the fire.
Was it painful when she died?
Did she cry?
Did you call me brother?
Huo Xu felt as if his heart was being turned around by a knife. Even after the scars of those old illnesses were revealed, the pain was still so painful that it was difficult to breathe.
During the period when he was struggling the most and wanted redemption the most, he suddenly changed his major and went to the Department of Forensic Medicine.
He felt that if he knew about autopsies and could perform tests, he might not have mistakenly identified the body in the first place.
Maybe Tangtang wasn't dead at all at that time, maybe the little girl who was taken away by the traffickers was really Tangtang.
But if she didn't die.
Where did she go after that?
Has her fever gone?
Will I be abused and bullied by human traffickers?
Where was she sold? What kind of torture will she encounter?
These thoughts almost drove him crazy.
Then, he realized that he would rather Tangtang died in the fire, because after being an orphan for ten years, he knew very well how helpless a powerless child was in front of those malicious adults.
.
He struggled in the quagmire for several years, and finally gave up medicine, agreed to his grandfather's request, and returned to the Huo family.
In the past five years, he thought he had calmed down.
But when I heard Ruanruan say that the man was a human trafficker yesterday, my most fragile nerve was still severely shaken.
Jeep parked at military training camp base.
The students of Dihua High School were training, and the few people from Class F who sneaked out to catch hares after finishing their work were all made to stand in the open space outside the camp.
Yu Ruanruan, the student who acted bravely and rescued more than 20 abducted and trafficked children last night, is no exception.
An act of righteousness is an act of righteousness, and discipline is discipline.
Those who save people should be praised, and those who violate discipline should be punished.
Gu Yan has been standing in a military posture under the scorching sun for three full hours. Her mouth is dry and she is exhausted. She really admires Ruanruan. With the same punishment, Ruanruan doesn't feel tired at all.
Gu Yan even felt that Ruan Ruan was in a bad mood all day today. She was a little worried and whispered, "If you are worried, ask the battalion commander for a leave and go to the hospital for a checkup? Mr. Huo left a lot of blood yesterday, it was scary!"
"
Yu pursed her lips softly, her military posture undisturbed, "I won't go."
She had already received a call from Director Liu. They said that Huo Xu was fine and his head was slightly broken, but fortunately his skull was strong and his brain was not damaged.
It's okay to know the result. She tried her best to do what she should do last night.
Worrying and worrying at this time is just in vain.
She didn't want to have any more entanglements with Huo Xu.
At this time, the sound of the jeep's engine came from far and near, and the wheels kicked up dust. It slowly stopped near the camp, not far from where Yu Ruanruan and others were punished to stand.
Liu Bo was the first to come out of the cockpit. He put his hands on his hips and looked at the row of students standing in a row with a smile. He said a little awkwardly, "Hey, why are you standing here to welcome guests? Why are you all so gray and undressed?"
Gu Yan, Zhao Zijia and others lowered their heads in shame.
It was really embarrassing today. Not only did the classmates from Dihua High School see them being punished, but even the students from other schools knew that they had sneaked out to catch hares in the middle of the night last night.
Yu Ruanruan ignored Liu Bo's taunts and focused on the passenger compartment of the jeep.
The car door opened, and a thin and cold figure got out of the car.
The man's head was tied with gauze and his tall figure staggered slightly when he got out of the car.
Huo Xu held on to the car door, his face as white as paper.
He felt that he was ridiculous. Although his heart was dark, lonely, dirty and weird, he still insisted on grabbing a light that had long since ceased to exist, refusing to fall, unwilling to sink into a deeper quagmire.
However, his light has long since disappeared.
From beginning to end, it was his own delusion.
The north wind was biting, like sharp and biting cold needles drilling into his skull.
Huo Xu felt a headache. He thought he could bear it, but it turned out that his body was already at the end of its strength. What had supported him until now was just a little faith.
People like him don't deserve the light, they don't deserve to be saved, and they don't deserve to be loved.
Isn't it?
He smiled sadly, the hand holding the car door slipped, his body lost its center of gravity, and fell forward.
"Huo Xu!"
A soft voice sounded.
Huo Xu raised his head and saw light running towards him...
