Hidden Assassin

When I woke up, it was already daytime, and it was snowing outside the hospital window, and my mother and sister were watching by.

There was pain in her shoulder, and it took her a few seconds to recall the events of the night, the shootout, the candied chestnuts, the bullets, the flying man, and the shovel. When I got up from the bed, my sister was startled, and then, of course, there was another flutter.

"...Miss Qing, you have slept all night and got shot in the shoulder, but the problem is not serious. The doctor said that when you fell down, you hit your head, but it is not serious. We went late last night and only caught a fish head tissue. One of the members is nicknamed Duck, but the others have escaped and we are currently investigating and..."

"And Xiao Ke, please, even if you are in a hurry, can you add punctuation marks when you speak..."

"Oh, okay." The police officer who just joined the Criminal Police Team nodded, "That's all... Oh, and, the chief said you were shot, you can take a vacation, anyway, it's almost Chinese New Year, this matter Leave the matter to Captain Zhong for assistance. ^^ ^^"

"How can I help, Zhong Jimin is robbing me of my work..."

Mu Qingqing curled her lips, "For such a big matter, since the injury here is fine, I will go over it. The case belongs to me, so ask Zhong Jimin to step aside. By the way, the man who sells fried chestnuts with sugar is fine?"

"He's fine. We wanted to ask him to go back to make a statement last night, but he didn't talk to anyone, but just pushed the car away. Sister Qing, you said that he helped you before you fainted. Then everyone will know that he is a fool. Well, so...his confession. Basically we can't embarrass him..."

"Oh." Mu Qingqing nodded, "He was the one who knocked out that... called a duck, and saved my life. =="

"Yes, yes." Speaking of this, Xiao Ke laughed, "His shovel is made of iron, and it is very heavy. It was knocked suddenly, and ordinary people really couldn't catch it. The guy nicknamed the duck was beaten. It was quite miserable, and now I’m watching in the ward over there, and I haven’t woken up yet.”

Mu Qingqing was beaten to death, unwilling to take a vacation, and even wanted to be discharged from the hospital to work early. In the next few days, his mother and sister talked about it happily. Being shot is already very worrying. It is a shameful behavior to refuse to take a vacation even if there is one, and not to go home to celebrate the New Year. All of a sudden, all kinds of words used to judge the sinners of the ages were clasped on her one after another.

From Mu Qingqing's point of view, the land in front of her was indeed a big case that she was unwilling to give up. She was transferred to this city in the past not voluntarily, and there were many involvements and contradictions in it, but she has a stubborn personality, and she believes that as long as she works hard and has enough grades, she can always apply to be transferred back. **** Gritting his teeth like this and being transferred back to Jianghai once and for all is much better than taking a pitiful time to run home every year.

What's more, what kind of Chinese New Year is running back now, she can almost clearly see a series of blind date banquets arranged every morning and afternoon. Parents and relatives are nagging about getting married every day, God, it’s nothing more than usual, now she has a bandage on her shoulder and a patch on her head to go on a blind date... Don’t you think you’ve been ashamed enough in your previous life...

After all, the mother and sister also had their own affairs. They originally planned to come over for a night or two before leaving, because the incident of her being shot stayed for two more days. It's okay to see her. There was no way to talk, and finally left resentfully. The snow, which was originally thought to be heavy, fell finely and finely for several days, and the weather cooled down rapidly, and the streets finally felt white. Mu Qingqing stayed in the hospital for three days and then went home. A police officer drove to pick them up, and when she passed the intersection, she deliberately observed the Caishikou Street over there, as if the gunfight that night did not happen that night. Business as usual.

Candied chestnuts, the man selling candied chestnuts, the small trolley with the blue roof, when there are customers, the man stands up and sells things. As usual, if there were no guests, I would sit there in a daze, thinking about things. When she bought things in the past, the other party quickly said hello and quoted the price, but if he said thank you, the person seemed to have not heard it at all, and he didn't know what happened that night, so that he temporarily regained his sanity. Make that alarm.

In the next few days, the snow began to fall heavily. =

It is said that it takes a hundred days for a muscle injury, but that is the time for recovery. With proper treatment, Mu Qingqing has probably recovered normal mobility after only a week. There are still bandages on her shoulders, which is impossible. Just do too much strenuous exercise. On the other hand, things over at Yutou's side have not progressed much.

Judging from the interrogation of the duck and the subsequent investigation, there are two people who came back from abroad. The cousin Yinhu of the fish head is the leader, and the other is good at computers and explosives. The criminals, at least they are unambiguous in killing people. After seven days, no clues have been found, proving that the possibility of catching them is getting smaller and smaller. However, in Mu Qingqing's view, they still have a chance. The mountains were blocked by heavy snow, and the police closely monitored the roads to and from Yujiang. In the case of being injured and escaping, there will never be any clues. ^^

Judging from Duck's tone of voice during the interrogation, Yinhu and Glasses are not only bloodthirsty but also quite arrogant, and they don't pay much attention to the mainland police. This matter was blocked. If something happened to Yutou, it might even come to retaliate. There are few similar cases, but not without them. Most of them persuaded Mu Qingqing to be vigilant in the near future. After this casual discussion, Every time she passed that crossroad, she stopped the car involuntarily to take a look. It was more difficult for the other party to take revenge on herself, but it was much easier to take revenge on that fool.

The heavy snow like goose feathers has been falling for several days, thick snow and ice edges can be seen everywhere on the eaves and on the ceiling of the market on the telephone poles, some branches are crushed, and there are piles of snow piled up on both sides of the road. ==The roads are also not cleaned enough, and the whole Yujiang has become a city covered with heavy snow. There was also snow on the roof of the candied chestnut cart, and I waited there before six o’clock every day. At night, the street lights were turned on, the voltage was low, and it looked dim. There were no pedestrians on the cold street, and there was heavy snow. The lights were still on in that corner of the market. Be with this lonely world. .

These days, Mu Qingqing couldn't eat fried chestnuts with sugar, so he bought them twice and took them to the police station to share with everyone. Sitting in the car and looking at the light in the heavy snow, he also wondered, what could he do? Run over and tell him that you have to be careful, someone might come to retaliate against you... It's really funny, that's a fool, he may not take it seriously even if you say it a hundred times. But anyway, that shovel saved him after all. After watching it like this for two nights, I felt that the fool was wearing very little clothes. No gloves, no scarves, no hats, just a few clothes, I feel cold even when I look at them, but my body is really good, no wonder I can easily knock down the guy nicknamed Duck. ^^

In the past few days, a small episode happened. The person my mother introduced to me for a blind date called again, asking her to go out to dinner and a movie. Zhuhua came to see her once. Mu Qingqing doesn't really have a good impression of this man, but the blind date is like this, and she is not young anymore. After a while, I just put this matter behind me and watched the future development of this relationship.

In any case, after all, she was not someone who liked to owe others something. On the night of the eighth day after the incident, she got off work a little late. It was a quarter past ten when we reached the intersection. The cart selling candied chestnuts has left. She thought about it, and drove to follow up to have a look. The sky was still snowing, and the traces left by the ruts and footprints on the road were still quite clear. ^^ When she got to an uphill with too much snow and a narrow road, she stopped the car. The road looks a bit difficult no matter whether it is going up or down, it is better to walk.

Put on a coat, gloves, hat, scarf. The snow is about ten centimeters thick. There was a "rustling" sound when she stepped on it, and she looked at the marks and footprints of the cars that pushed past. I can't help but sigh, this place is a bit difficult to walk by myself, but it's really amazing to push such a small car up there without slipping.

Going uphill like this, and then going downhill after turning the corner, we have already reached the outskirts of the city. Not far away, one side is the dark and rushing river and the trees planted indistinctly by the river, and the other side is against the mountain, with houses and fences sparsely In the small garden surrounded by vegetables, most of the street lamps are broken, and there is only a dim one far away, and there are lights in the house, but in this weather, the doors have been closed, and the sound of the TV can still be heard, but Generally speaking, the whole road seemed to be stuck in a dark swamp, and the wind blowing from the river made it look even colder and biting. = Just like this, walking along the rut for a long time, a small two-story building appeared on the other side of the river. When she got closer, she found that the direction of the rut extended to that side. There was an open door to a room on the side of the road. It was an informal canteen. An old man was warming up at the counter and watching TV. Seeing Mu Qingqing walking by, he glanced at her.

Suddenly, a sound of "Ah----" came from the small house facing the river. It seemed to be moaning in pain and depressing, or like the low roar of a wild animal at night. Mu Qingqing froze for a moment. The old woman in the canteen also glanced over there, and immediately walked over: "Auntie, what's going on over there?"

The old man also looked quite friendly, and he glanced over there again: "Oh, that young man probably has a headache again..."

"Well?"

"You don't know... That house over there was originally a dangerous building, and the land was about to be demolished, but it has not been demolished. There used to be homeless people and beggars living there, but speaking of it, the house was built on the river On the other side, it is scary to walk up now, who knows when it will be poured out, and no one dared to live longer. Last year, the young man came here, and I don’t know where he got a car to sell sugar-fried chestnuts..."

"... Well, he doesn't know what's wrong with his brain. He's usually fine, at least he's pretty clear about selling things. Sometimes at night, I guess he gets a headache. Not once or twice, I went up to see it, and the pain was really bad. Terrific, it tortured people... It's better now, it used to be more often, but it won't be long, it will be fine after a while. Sigh, he actually looks like a good boy, in his twenties , no one cares about him, that's the only way...do you know him?"

After listening to the woman, Mu Qingqing nodded noncommittally, then turned around and walked towards the small building opposite. In the dark, she turned on the flashlight. The small building was built by the river with thick snow. It has been abandoned for a long time, and the soil and rocks on one side are also a little soft, and the wind blows "whooping", and it really looks crumbling. Walking up the stairs, the door on the second floor was open, and there was a faint light coming from inside. Pushing open the door, it was a very simple and airy house.

There is a hole in the wall on one side, there is no glass on the window, and even the wooden frame is out of shape. The floor of the house is even obviously tilted. Among the lights connected to the battery, there are two small shelves in the room, and some messy things are placed in the room. , On the floor in one corner of the room was a thin roll of bedding, probably a bed, and in the light, there was a sack filled with chestnuts, and the bucket on the other side contained chestnuts that had been cut open with a knife. on the ground. The man selling candied and fried chestnuts was curled up by the wall, clenched his teeth, trembling violently, sweat was dripping from his forehead.
