Abyss Express

Huainan is not like Hengyin——

——This place is smaller and more closed. Apart from trains, there are only national express buses as the main means of transportation.

Under the orders of Big Brother Xingchen, Xueming had to deal with this matter alone, Xiao Qi wanted to follow, but was stopped by Su Xingchen. The reason is that this girl's madness index is too high, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble.

Getting off the bus at Huainan Bus Terminal, Xue Ming bought a big umbrella nearby, took a taxi and drove to Nancheng.

In the car, he read the passenger's information in detail——

——The name is Wu Donghong, forty-one years old.

Idle people in society, without a formal job.

No family, imprisoned fifteen years ago, just released last month.

The woman in the photo looks very "tricky"——

——It's a tricky and mean Diao, with three white eyes and ungrateful lips, slightly shallow nasolabial folds and extremely short people, and that big curly hair, you can't tell that this is a 41-year-old old sister .

The social network described in the passenger's birth document was blank after 2010. Before serving his sentence, there were many detailed introductions.

Fifteen years ago, when she was twenty-six years old, she had unclear financial transactions with various executives of Xiangjiang Construction and Huainan Heavy Industry Group.

If I want to check back to earlier times, I only know that Sister Hong didn't finish junior high school, and she married into a worker's family near the train station in the urban area, and worked for a tailor shop in the market.

Since Wu Donghong was nineteen years old, a vicious murder occurred at the train station, which was related to the local evil forces.

Her husband and mother-in-law were involved and were the victims. She was the only one who survived. Since then, her personality has changed drastically, and she has almost become another person completely.

In the following seven years, she worked as a preschool teacher, remarried to a teacher's family, and relied on her husband's family relationship to work as a technical guide in a garment factory, and then joined the Huainan Heavy Industry Group. She surrendered herself to prison with 70 million stolen money. Two companies related to the murder were dragged into the water together.

Noteworthy places -

——The things Sister Hong did have a clear direction.

In Xueming's eyes, this female criminal had gone full circle in the society before she turned twenty-six, and the targets of the report were all those involved in the train station robbery and murder that year, just to avenge her husband and mother-in-law.

Seven years later, she had revenge in her own way, becoming a tainted witness and sending those involved to jail with herself. After regaining freedom, shopkeepers of teahouses, pavillons, entertainment venues, etc. along the two scenic belts of the Yuming River still wanted to call out Miss Hong when they saw Wu Donghong.

Under the interview and investigation of the police comrades and Su Xingchen, Wu Donghong's character profile is very interesting.

After she was released from prison, she didn't like to walk around. The only person she had contact with was a staff member of the Elderly Cadres Activity Center, who was ten years older than her. He was 51 this year and died of illness during the Spring Festival.

This staff member used to work in Huainan Newspaper, received foreign businessmen for the leaders, and maintained a very close relationship with the owners of various local hotels and nightclubs, and provided Sister Hong with a lot of evidence of gang-related crimes.

Sister Hong went to the Nine Realms Station this time to seek a panacea to treat the geriatric disease of this staff member who suffered from stroke and hemiplegia. It's just that the old man passed away before he could get Xiaohong's medicine.

After killing the armadillo hunter, because of insufficient evidence, Sister Hong has been living in the old house behind the train station. Except for three meals a day, she rarely goes out, but the number of people who visit her is ridiculous. More than ten visits were made, and the staff was a mixed bag of teachings and teachings.

This is all the information marked on the current file. When the taxi arrived at the destination, Xue Ming ran into the rain holding an umbrella and decided to go to the scene of the crime first.

According to the information provided by the police, he came to the Wenwan Bazaar near the thermal power plant, where Wu Donghong did his hands at that time.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the cold rain in the early spring drove away many customers. The alley next to the vegetable market is the Wenwan market. From the outside to the inside, it is pitch black, because the murder case is also the Spring Festival holiday. Several shops are open.

Walking about 40 meters in, turning two turns, I saw a shop of [Qingyuan Jade], the door was closed, and only a small security guard who was in charge of patrolling stayed here to cooperate with the investigation.

Xue Ming greeted the little security guard to express his intention of coming, showed the contact information of the police station in the address book and WeChat, and asked the security guard to open the door for him.

As soon as the rolling gate was opened, Xue Ming smelled a strong smell of blood and felt a faint remnant of spiritual energy.

The site is well protected, and it can almost restore the scene at that time——

——Xue Ming bought two packs of cigarettes for the security guy, and asked him to go to the stall to rest, then walked into this jade shop, started to look at the door, and slowly understood the scene at that time.

He went inside the door, and looked down at the marks on the handle of the mahogany chair. It was the crack left by Sister Hong's body when she staggered and held on to the handle of the chair when she fled in a panic.

Further forward is a return-shaped exhibit counter. Although the footprints on the ground are messy, some patterns can be seen.

Sister Hong was forced here by the hunter behind him. The hunter should be about 188 centimeters tall, very tall.

Going to the tea table, there are many pottery pieces of tea sets left on the ground, and the scalding boiling water mixed with human dander and other tissue fluids on the cement road, leaving eye-catching red marks one by one.

Looking at the cash register farther away, the countertop was covered with dark brown blood. The cash drawer had been opened, and there were many twisted and deformed coins scattered on the floor.

The only surveillance camera in the store was broken. According to the date of the video, it was broken in June last year.

All the traces left at the scene, relying on Xue Ming's inspiration, can deduce strange and strange scenes of chasing and killing.

"She led the hunter into this store." Xue Ming said to himself while looking at the door: "From the door to the round counter, there are bloodstains on the ground, it's not her blood—it's the hunter entering the store." Bazaar was wounded before."

He squatted down immediately, observing the shape of the blood.

"There are two kinds of wounds, one is a stab wound left before entering the shop, the blood will flow down the trouser leg, and the other is a splatter of radial blood - a new wound added later."

The layering of the footprints and the blood mud and dirt added later can also prove this point. Sister Hong did not kill in defense, but premeditated and prepared in advance. She led the hunter into this trap and set up an ambush to kill the hunter.

"The induction cooker on the tea table can't keep boiling water all the time. She used boiling water and tea sets to stop the hunter. She also prepared props in advance and made an appointment with the hunter here." Xue Ming followed these traces to the cash register: "The one on the table There are many smashed cracks in the corners, these coins were stuffed into the hunter's mouth by Sister Hong's hand, just like."

Saying so, Xue Ming raised an invisible "head" and slammed it hard on the iron drawer of the cash drawer.

It was followed by continuous punching, taking out chrome-nickel coins from the cash register, and hitting the imaginary enemy's facial features and soft flesh, trying to cut the opponent's eyes, so that the enemy could not cry out for help——

——Following the dragging blood stains on the ground, they came to the broken glass of the round-shaped counter.

He pressed the invisible "enemy" into the T-shaped cabinet of the jade booth.

"The whole process is like this, so how did this hunter lose his combat effectiveness?"

Almost without stopping, Xue Ming rushed back to the laboratory immediately and found the hunter's body——

——The corpse pulled out of the cold storage has been dried to deformity, and many traumas can be seen, including the stab wounds of the vegetable market boning knife, which matches the reconstruction of the scene of the crime, scalds or lacerations of teacup pottery fragments, facial The contusion of the nasopharynx, both eyes, and the eardrums of the two ears were injured, as if being hit by two palms and losing hearing.

What Xue Ming cares most about is not the damage during these execution stages, but the damage that makes the hunter lose the will to fight.

It came from the hunter's abdomen, above the navel to be precise, a bruise hard to discern with the naked eye.

Before entering the vegetable market, Sister Hong fought with the hunter and left this punch behind.

It is an important acupuncture point that slams into the solar plexus, destroys the sympathetic nerves in various organs, makes people vomit and feel uncomfortable, and even suffers from short-term shock and death. Before the official battle, Sister Hong has already touched the enemy's death door.

The hitting point was very accurate, right in the center of the xiphoid process of the twelve thoracic vertebrae——

——Xue Ming pressed it lightly, and immediately felt that this sternum had cracked, after that, strenuous exercise would only make the hunter die faster.

Even so, there is still no evidence that this was premeditated murder.

As Su Xingchen said, when Sister Hong was chased into Wenwan Bazaar by hunters, a dozen or so neighbors could testify that she was hunted down and fled all the way to Qingyuan Yushi's shop.

Xue Ming decided to pay a visit in person, went back to the supermarket at the train station, and bought some fruit and milk near Sister Hong's old house. Follow the address to find the sixth floor of the resettlement house——

——There should have been only the fifth floor, but a new floor was added in violation of regulations.

Looking from the high ground of the former factory site of the thermal power plant, there is a glass greenhouse on the roof of the six residential buildings next to the viewing pond, which is the current residence of Sister Hong.

Walking downstairs in the neighborhood, there are booming firecracker residues everywhere. After the Spring Festival, migrant workers from all over the country return to their hometowns, bringing some lively and festive notes to the old people who stayed behind.

Squeezing into the narrow and cramped corridor and climbing all the way up, Xue Ming saw many cigarette butts on the stairs, which were also left by the people who came to visit Sister Hong before.

Going to the fifth floor on the top floor, there were originally two families on the left and right sides, and the neighbor's private house has been bought by Sister Hong and transformed into one.

Xue Ming knocked on the door and was about to say hello.

A mature and neutral female voice came from inside the door.

"The door is open, come in."

just entered the door -

——Xue Ming heard the unique noise of the old record player, looked at the living room on the left, no one was at home, only one vinyl record machine was working in the hall, and the narrow hallway in the middle corridor was connected to another one on the right. In the living room, a small staircase was built up, which can directly reach the illegal building on the sixth floor roof.

Xue Ming took off his shoes and put on disposable slippers to go upstairs.

In the glass greenhouse, he finally met the Lord.

It was a woman in a wine-red nightgown in the cold season of early spring.

She is the same as the photo on the information, but the real person is more tricky than the photo.

She stood in the dining room of the conservatory, with her back to the guests, stepping on the oak aisle, without shoes, with her hands raised, as if embracing an invisible lover, dancing ballroom to record music.

Xue Ming didn't speak or say hello, but just waited politely, waiting for the hostess to finish enjoying the quietness, and didn't want to disturb other people's spring break.

You must know that according to the practice of BOSS, after every passenger completes the first task, it can't wait to catch these little cuties back to the station to continue working.

After the dance was over, Wu Donghong finally turned around, rolled up the wide sleeves of her nightgown, and poured tea for Xueming.

"Who sent you here?"

Xue Ming: "I'm from the station."

When Sister Hong was pouring tea, she leaned over and took an extra look at Xue Ming——

——She wore heavy makeup on her face, but it couldn't cover the slightly deformed apple muscle on her right cheek, as if she had received several slaps in the face when she was fighting with a hunter.

There are bruises and strains on her arm, and a plaster for bruises is wrapped on her right thumb.

Her eyes are beautiful, sharp, like a falcon.

"So you came to chat with me?"

Xueming: "Yes, let's talk."

"Have you read all the materials?" Sister Hong didn't see anyone at all, she sat beside Xue Ming and lit a cigarette by herself: "What's your name?"

"Jiang Xueming."

"Good name."

"Where is it?"

"It's such a cold day, and the person who sent me such a cold name is full of water and snow. It also has a little light, of course it's good."

"Sister Hong, I want to ask you a few things." Jiang Xueming decided to get straight to the point: "You just got out of prison, and you went to the station to ask for medicine, why?"

Wu Donghong raised her hair and glanced at Xueming——

——She watched for a long time, as if she was observing the boy's demeanor, wanted to see the details clearly, wanted to know the purpose of the other party's visit, and was also thinking carefully whether she should tell Xue Ming the story clearly.

Xueming immediately said: "I have a friend who likes to listen to stories - I want to tell him your story."

"Isn't it all written on the document?" Sister Hong told frankly: "There is a clerk in the Senior Cadres Activity Center. He is ten years older than me. He used to work with me and helped me a lot. I have to help him. .”

Xue Ming: "He died of illness in the end."

Sister Hong: "It's a good thing."

Xueming: "Can you tell me in detail?"

Sister Hong: "I came out of the Women's Prison, and his daughter came to pick me up in a car, wanting to catch up with me - so I went."

"Then what?"

"I didn't expect this big brother to dance so well when he was young, but he suffered a stroke and was paralyzed when he was only in his fifties. The doctor said that conservative treatment would cost more than 400,000 yuan a year—this son-in-law and daughter panicked."

"You must not be feeling well."

"Big brother wants to die, but his children won't let him die. If he just gives up the treatment like this, his family will have a hard time—do you know what this face means?"

Xueming thought about it——

"—how many children in his family?"

Sister Hong: "There are three in total. Two older sisters and one youngest son."

Xue Ming: "Don't you want the old man to die?"

Sister Hong: "They are all filial children, how can they be willing to bear this infamy? If the neighbors in the neighborhood find out, I'm afraid they will be poked in the back and punished for the rest of their lives. Huainan is not a city with a developed economy. You can go to the residential buildings in the urban area. Shout out a few words, and those who come out to greet guests are either half-grown left-behind children, or grandparents in their seventies and eighties—if the eldest brother gives up treatment, his children will all become unfilial offspring.”

Xue Ming: "You went to the Nine Realms because of this friend?"

Sister Hong: "It took a lot of work. It's a pity that I didn't catch up with the last one."

Xueming: "The result is not satisfactory."

Sister Hong: "I think there is such a panacea in the world, maybe it can allow Big Brother to live with dignity. It's a pity that it's like a note in a passenger's log. If a person's will to survive is not strong enough, then he is not far from death." Before I could come back, I heard the sound of crying and arguing in the ward from the other end of the phone—maybe he didn’t want to see these sons and daughters arguing over such a filial name, so they left very simply.”

Xue Ming: "You killed the hunter, did you premeditate?"

Miss Hong was silent——

——She stared at Xue Ming again, there was no hostility in her eyes, but there was a very strong thirst.

This thirst can be regarded as the double meaning of "curiosity" and "demonstration". When visiting Xue Ming's specific identity, he wants to know Xue Ming's role portrait at the station.

Xue Ming immediately said: "I am very familiar with BOSS, I just want to talk to you, I have already turned into a butterfly, there is no need to hide anything, and I have no other evil intentions."

Sister Hong immediately said, "I don't like that chattering waiter, he talks too much."

Xue Ming: "What does it have to do with hunters?"

Sister Hong explained bluntly: "He kept talking about how terrifying and powerful hunters are. I was very curious, so I wanted to meet these people head-on——I was in the council when the acceptance logs were handed over at the station. [accidentally] lost the ID card at the hall director's counter, and wanted to try the hunter's ability."

Xue Ming: "Just because your waiter is too long-winded?"

Sister Hong: "That's right. If the BOSS doesn't want to change it for me, I'll take the initiative to tell him to shut up. He's like my ex-husband. When I go downstairs to buy groceries, he can speak hundreds of words."

Xueming: "Which term?"

Sister Hong: "The first one. The one who brought me to the big city, introduced me to jobs, and taught me how to make clothes."

Xueming: "He died in a murder case"

Sister Hong immediately raised her hand, the gesture of holding the cigarette was full of aggression, her eyes became terrifying and fierce.

Xue Ming changed his words immediately: "Can you talk about this hunter?"

"He followed me all the way, and he is also from Huainan. He happened to be from the same township. He is three years younger than me." Sister Hong regained her composure, and talked about this story with great interest, "It might be the first time he committed a crime because he wanted to get close to me. I don't know—but it can be seen that he seems to need the panacea in my hand very much, and asked me more than once if I have any intention of continuing."

Xue Ming: "He wants to live with you?"

When Sister Hong talked about the murder, she felt a strange sense of pleasure: "Hehe."

Xue Ming: "That's just stepping on the spot."

Sister Hong: "He wanted to write the word [criminal] on his face. He was very curious about my address and family. I also explained the details to him, and we went back to my hometown by car. Leave my waiter to deal with this hunter."

Xue Ming: "You killed him?"

Sister Hong: "This kid is very stupid. He dared to come to see me alone. He was two heads taller than me and he was unsuspecting of me. He was like a lamb in a wolf's pen - I killed him and left nothing behind. I only hope that this case can be spread to the station, so that other hunters can keep their eyes open and don't provoke me."

Xueming: "Is it that simple?"

Sister Hong: "It's that simple."

Xueming: "In these days, many people have come to you"

"They're all former friends." Sister Hong pursed her lips and stubbed out the cigarette butt: "I came out of the prison, and there were more than 20 people who came to pick me up from outside - some were in the wood business, and some were in the ceiling moulds. , Most of them are sisters of garment factories, and now they have found good people. Maybe they want to make the business bigger and stronger, and they want me to show the way, and some have been wronged and bullied over the years, and they want me to help make decisions. "

Xue Ming: "Do you still have contact with your former family members?"

"Which one are you asking?" Sister Hong frowned, wanting to grab Xue Ming's hand.

Xue Ming immediately avoided, wrote and drew in the diary, and left Wu Donghong's characters in the diary.

"Your ex-husband, the teacher."

Sister Hong said meaningfully: "He teaches and lectures, and I kill and set fire—how can it be a family?"

Jiang Xueming: "Have you thought about going back to the station?"

"Isn't this waiting for an opportunity?" Sister Hong clapped her hands and smiled.

Jiang Xueming: "The boss will always send you tasks."

Sister Hong: "It's not the same as asking someone to do something, and waiting for someone to come to you."

Jiang Xueming finally woke up——

——This sister is not willing to go to the station to resume work, she has a big appetite.

Sister Hong's eyes were full of innocence, like a pure little white flower, and she continued, "Look, didn't you just wait here?"

"I'm getting married this year, Miss Hong. I'll send you an invitation when I have a chance." Xue Ming put away his diary and finally explained why he came: "You can meet Ms. Fenxing at the Sunrise Cabin at the station, next to it is my club called Anonymous - I need a butler, if you're interested"

Sister Hong interrupted, "Congratulations!"

Xueming: "Thank you."

Sister Hong: "You help me fix my waiter, and I'll come to work with you."

Xue Ming thought about it, and asked a very straightforward question.

"Sister Hong, as far as I know, BOSS will arrange the most suitable soul mate for each passenger—according to what you said before, this waiter brother should be good at your aesthetics, even if he is very verbose, you can't help but be a soul mate. Very similar to your first husband, I don't know what you mean"

"It's literally." Sister Hong squinted her eyes and folded her hands in front of her chest: "Xiaojiang, do you know? Everyone has their fixed attributes, and they all look forward to the grace of a savior—whether in the East or the West, in the In this corner of Huainan City, people like to rely on connections to go through the back door, get all kinds of conveniences and privileges, get a sense of security, and they will always meet a few noble people to help them."

"My first love was my savior, he brought me to live in the city, he gave me a very sweet marriage, gave me a taste of love, made me understand that the whole world is not like my hometown, no A few paddy fields, not a few mountain roads—but I didn’t realize how absurd and terrifying this living rule was until he died.”

"Now I beg you, let this annoying waiter get away from me, every time I see him, it's like a mirror, reflecting my weak and incompetent past - even if it's true as you said, he is my soul mate .”

"But have you ever thought about it?"

Sister Hong lit the second cigarette, with scorching flames in her eyes.

"I don't need this savior."
