  The wasteland on both sides of the highway was undulating, and the ambulance honked its whistle all the way and hurried forward.

     Where is this going? Bu Chonghua thought.

     He saw that the road under his feet suddenly became very long, and the end was full of darkness, loneliness and nothingness; a lighter clicked from a distance, a small cluster of flames lit up, and then an arc of fire was drawn in the mid-air, pattering Fall to the ground.

     Immediately afterwards, the flame quickly rolled into a tongue of fire, licked the stairs, climbed up the handrail, and lit the ground with a whirr, and then lit an endless fire like a thousand-li lotus pond!

     Bu Chonghua's pupils dilated-on fire!

     Wu Yu is still inside, how about the others?

     "Wu Yu!"

     The flames crackled on the wooden beams.

     "come out faster!"

     Billowing black smoke was caught in the cracks in the walls and windows.

    "Where are you! Come out!"

    ——The flames are like Moses dividing the sea, splitting to the left and right with a scream. Bu Chonghua's rushing pace staggered to a halt, and saw a familiar silhouette sitting against the wall and sitting on the edge of the blackened open space. His right cheek was flushed with the light of the fire, looking at him quietly.

    "...Wu Yu," Bu Chonghua murmured.

    They looked at each other, the vast and remote space became very quiet, only the crackling noise of the burning house. Wu Yu seemed to suddenly become very young. The tips of his hair rose with the wind, and the corners of his eyes were smoother than now; he looked at Bu Chonghua with a little nostalgia, and finally stood up, revealing that the left half had been torn apart by the fire body of.

    "What are you going to do?" Bu Chonghua seemed to have a premonition, and his voice trembled strangely.

    "..."

    "What are you going to do? Come here!"

    Wu Yu did not answer, his eyes were sad and calm, and he took a half step back. The endless flame lotus bloomed with this movement at the same time, thousands of them reflected in his eyes, the next second he raised his hand and waved it gently, which was a farewell gesture——

    Immediately afterwards, flames rose to the sky, and immediately swallowed the other half of his body!

    "Wu Yu!"

    Bu Chonghua yelled in silence, he drew his legs and chased him, and immediately stomped down!

    thump!

    Obviously there is no sound, but Liao Gang subconsciously noticed something and suddenly raised his head from the bedside: "Team!"

    Bu Chonghua turned and sat up, his movements were so loud that he huffed up the wind, and the infusion iron frame fell over and almost fell to the ground. Liao Gang quickly supported him: "Are you all right? Lie down!"

    ……where is this place?

    Snow-white lights are reflected on the four walls, and the ward is clean and bright with complete facilities. The night outside the window is already very dark, but the noise of vehicles passing by on the road is still very frequent, the wall clock is ticking, and the hour hand has just passed ten o'clock.

    Bu Chonghua's ribs were tingling, he was dizzy and his heart plopped. After a few seconds, he finally realized that the layout of this ward was not unfamiliar. It was the No. 1 People's Hospital of Jinhai City next to the Nancheng Branch Bureau.

    He just had a dream.

    "Are you really okay? Did you feel better?" Liao Gang got up from the chair beside the hospital bed, still very worried.

    "..." Bu Chonghua gasped, "Why am I here?"

    "You have a high fever. At 40:5 in the morning, the county hospital said that their level is limited. They are afraid that you will burn all the way and cause infection, and then they will not be able to deal with it. Song Bureau said let us quickly transfer you to Jinhaiyi The hospital, by the way, bring back the cult villagers in Fengyuan Village who were arrested last night-or the medical conditions here are good. As soon as the medicine was injected with a shot, the fever returned below 38 degrees in the afternoon. What happened to you just now Have you had a nightmare?"

    Bu Chonghua nodded subconsciously and murmured: "I dreamed of Wu..."

    He suddenly stopped.

    Liao Gang puzzled: "What do you dream?"

    "...I dreamed of a fire." Bu Chonghua's throat slipped up and down, as if swallowing something back instinctively, and said: "When we were exploring Gao Ling's house, someone set a fire outside. Wu Yu was stuck in the fire and couldn't get out. Come... It doesn't look very happy."

    "Huh?!" Liao Gangxin said, isn't this nonsense? I won't be happy even if I'm stuck in the fire. Not only can I cry, okay?

    Bu Chonghua obviously didn't want to mention more: "Where is Wu Yu? Is he back?"

    "Nothing." Liao Gang raised his chin out of the window: "Xu Ju and they are going to deal with the cult in Fengyuan Village. Someone needs to lead the way to identify the scene last night. I originally wanted to stay there to help, Xu Ju said Little Wu It’s okay. Tell me to take you back to Jinhai. They will be able to deal with it back tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

    Bu Chonghua felt something wrong in his instinct, but he was so groggy that he was burnt, and he never thought of what was wrong: "Wu Yu is with Xu Ju?"

    Liao Gang nodded.

    "...Wu Yu is still listening to Xu Ju's words, but Xu Ju must be surrounded by other leaders of the Municipal Bureau. Those people's face Wu Yu may not be willing to buy it. If a conflict is not easy to deal with." Bu Chonghua thought for a while holding his forehead. "You call director Zhao of the Burns Department upstairs and ask him to find two interns, and drive to Fengyuan Village to pick up Wu Yu tomorrow morning, saying that he has serious burns on his hands and may have to go back for skin grafting. Definitely let it go. If there are other city party leaders over there to ask again, let them come to me directly."

    "Hey! OK!"

    Liao Gang made an OK gesture and took the phone to call the window. Bu Chonghua exhaled and leaned on the head of the hospital bed, his expression gloomy and calm, no one could see the dullness of his eyes.

    He thought of the silhouette across the sea of ​​fire again.

    That scene was so clear that it didn’t look like a dream, and even Wu Yu’s young face was vividly visible in the firelight—his side cheeks were not as thin as they are now, and his eye sockets were not as deep as they are now. The light and shadow were softer; the scars of a trapped beast. The tired but sharp and fierce temperament faded from him, and he stood there with his hands down, looking very calm and a little melancholy.

    The tongue of fire seemed to lick into Bu Chonghua's heart from a dream, making his heart slightly hot.

    Thirteen years ago, the young man Yushu in the file photo was facing the breeze, and he was so enviable that he was naturally enviable. Wu Yu in his dream described it as lost and depressed, as if a plant growing underground and unknown to the world Plants, when he was able to witness by chance, burst out like a burst of joy, mixed with sorrow and bitterness.

    Liao Gang finished the call and turned back from the window. Bu Chonghua forcibly dispelled all the thoughts in his mind, glanced at the facts of the case that Liao Gangshun had placed on the ground, and turned a few pages casually.

    "This is the group of cult villagers who were interrogated overnight. According to what you said, the foreigner who set fire must be found first. However, based on the comparison of dozens of confessions, all of the hundreds of villagers arrested have relatives. There are no eligible suspects. We are expanding the scope of the investigation, and the County Public Security Bureau should send the investigation results to me at the latest."

    Bu Chonghua nodded without saying a word, then threw the materials on the ground for a long while and said: "Run."

    "what?"

    "The anti-riot brigade is very rough. I rushed to the battle last night. I didn't know how to run. I would run if I changed. Besides, the arsonists intended to kill people. They may not be cultists. They can't stay with the villagers and die." Bu Chonghua exhaled, and said, "Let’s start with the ignition source and fuel-supporting materials, and then contact the Traffic Control Bureau to check the surveillance video. This person has a very precise timing of the arson and whistle. He may have been staring at me and Wu Yu and said We may have followed when we left Ninghe County."

    Liao Gang wrote them down one by one, thinking for a long time, and couldn't help cursing "Fuck!": "It was so easy to find the clue of Gao's family, and it was burned down again! Who is the surname Ba? Early in the morning, I personally took people to try Gao Wei Xiong Jinzhi's two things, and I must pry out this clue again!"

    "Did you forget that there is still a person in our detention room?" Bu Chonghua suddenly raised his eyebrows.

    "?" Liao Gang hesitated: "Li...Li Hongxi?"

    The surnamed Li is now the first in the hatred list of the whole detachment. That grandson is a desperate squat. His mouth is like a zippered iron clam, and he can't pry it off with a jack. How can he become the entry point for the police? ?

    Bu Chonghua said, "Bring me my wallet."

    Liao Gang got up inexplicably, got up and took out the wallet from the pocket of uniform trousers hung on the hanger, embarrassed and mixed with a trace of expectation: "Look, captain, this is not appropriate, although you know you have the capital to spend it, but If you don’t agree, give money..."

    Bu Chonghua blankly took out a few photos from the inside of the wallet and threw them in front of him.

    "It might be misunderstood about our relationship... what is this?!"

    The photographs obtained by the Polaroid have turned white, and they have been smoked, grilled, jumped off, and fought. The individual photos have become crumpled, but under the lighting of the ward, the overlapping scenes of naked stripes can still be clearly distinguished. In the entangled picture, there is Li Hongxi!

    "Oh fuck!" Liao Gang beamed before his eyes and said, "This fat! What a disgusting! What a spicy eyes!"

    "Wu Yu turned over a large photo album in the cellar of Gao's house. Unfortunately, I was anxious to rush out to arrest people, but I had no time to grab a few, and there happened to be him in it. If it weren't for the fact that he had gone to bed so many times, That should be God’s will.” Bu Chonghua said, “Take it back to the evidence room and start arranging the third interrogation of Li Hongxi.”

    "I think Gao Ling arranged it specially in Tian Youling, hey!" Liao Gang happily took the photos into his arms: "Then I'll go back first! Are you okay with you here? No need to click any police flower. Come and stare at the infusion bottle?"

    The number of female police officers in the Nancheng branch is very small, so the internal service under the age of 40 is collectively referred to as the police flower, and the field service conditions are more relaxed, and those under the retirement age can be counted.

    Bu Chonghua thought for a while: "You let Xiaogui first..."

    Liao Gang said: "Xiaogui forensic medicine is not good, Xiaogui forensic medicine is a flower of the technical team in a thousand hectares of wasteland, and Director Wang generally does not lend it to us."

    "...Send me another copy of Nian Xiaoping's autopsy results." Bu Chonghua said coldly: "I can't think of any connection with Nian Xiaoping in this case. I will look at the autopsy report to figure it out while I am fine now. Think about it." 999 novel first published https://www.999xs.com https://m.999xs.com

    "..." Liao Gang pointed to the phone silently with his mouth open, made an OK gesture, and went to make a phone call with his tail tucked in dingy. Bu Chonghua sat on the bedside and closed his eyes and rested. He heard that the opposite side was connected for a short while, but it was picked up by other staff on duty in the forensic clinic. He said, "What? Xiaogui forensic doctor is not here tonight. I'm going on business to Fengyuan Village. Brother Liao asked Director Wang to get a copy?"

    "Wait," Bu Chonghua suddenly realized something was wrong.

    Liao Gang turned his head and saw him sitting up from the hospital bed and said suspiciously: "What should the forensic doctor do when he goes to Fengyuan Village? The survey is not enough?"

    "Oh, that's not the case. Xiaogui forensic doctor left early this morning, because people died in Fengyuan Village. Xu Ju said that the county public security bureau's forensic doctors were not enough, so he hurried to the doctor. He hasn't returned yet."

    Bu Chonghua took the phone: "Who is dead?"

    The person on duty over the phone thought that the opposite was still Liao Gang, and said casually: "It is a villager named Gao Jiabao. It is said that he was the leader of the cult riots last night. He was injured somehow and was trampled by the crowd and sent to him. The hospital didn’t come back--hey, did you say this, did you rush it yourself?..."

    Wounded and trampled by the crowd, someone needs to identify the scene of Fengyuan Village...

    Xu Ju said that Little Wu was fine...

    Bu Chonghua realized something in a flash, and his voice changed: "Is Xu Ju still in Fengyuan Village? Have you seen Xu Ju?"

    "Oh, the team?" The attendant was agitated, almost conditioned to get up and stand at attention: "Xu Ju just came back from the county half an hour ago. I don't know where you are now. You want to talk to Xu Ju? I'll call the director's office to answer. go with?"

    "..."

    Liao Gang saw that Bu Chonghua's face was wrong, and he was a little worried: "Bu Team?"

    Bu Chonghua didn't answer, and suddenly hung up without saying a word. Then he grabbed his own cell phone on the bedside table and started making Wu Yu's call. However, after making three consecutive calls, he hung up automatically, but no one answered!

    "Do you have Wu Yu WeChat?"

    Liao Gang was inexplicable: "This one really doesn't, that kid doesn't have WeChat at all..."

    Bu Chonghua's heart couldn't stop sinking. Before he could finish speaking, he made a direct call to Xu Ju's personal mobile phone. This time the bell was finally connected after a long time, and Xu Ju said leisurely: "Hey—"

    "Where is Wu Yuren?"

    Xu Ju choked for a while, and sighed for a while: "Calm down and listen to me. This is the situation..."

    Liao Gang leaned at the bedside, vaguely feeling Xu Ju's throat squeezed in a low voice, but could not hear exactly what he said. He didn't dare to listen to his ears, only to see that Bu Chonghua's face was getting worse and worse. In the end, it could be described as ugly. After more than half a minute, he coldly spit out the three words "I know", and then put the phone on the phone. One hang.

    "You...hey?!"

    Bu Chonghua used the pillow towel to press the back of his hand and pulled out the needle, got up and quickly changed into his clothes, grabbed the wallet and the key, and walked outside.

    Liao Gang was shocked: "Fuck, where are you going! Come back, you haven't finished the water!"

    "Back to the branch." Bu Chonghua opened the door of the ward without looking back, "They locked Wu Yu."
