The Monster I Was Redeemed

Ten years ago, when Ai Liang was working as a vigilante, his first partner was Xia Qiyuan, the old bachelor. Ai Liang was in charge of collecting intelligence and evidence, and Xia Qiyuan was in charge of arresting people.

After many collaborations, Xia Qiyuan began to inquire about Ai Liang's true identity, but everything was in vain.

After all, Ai Liang's real body was only five years old at the time, and even if you, Xia Qiyuan, were the reincarnation of Sherlock Holmes, it would be impossible to find him.

One of the two is a criminal police officer in Nevada City, and the other is an unidentified intelligence businessman. No matter how many times they cooperate, there is always a layer of estrangement between them.

It's just that Xia Qinian was still a little white who had just stepped out of the ivory tower and entered the society. In his eyes, Ai Liang and Xia Qiyuan were a close partner who worked together to fight crime.

And this misunderstanding continues to this day.

That's right, until now Xia Qinian regards the hermit as his uncle's best friend.

Has his social experience over the years been used to feed the dog?

Ai Liang's expression showed a hint of disgust.

"If you don't care, why call me." Xia Qinian still hasn't given up.

"I just want you to give Shi Feng a message. I have no intention of attacking Yue Chongshan. I have already planned to retire completely."

This is the purpose of Ai Liang's sudden intention to call Xia Qinian.

Calling Shi Feng, the captain of the criminal police team, directly from the old man's machine, saying that he was going to retire, in the eyes of others, it was a blatant provocation, and he did not take the technical department in the eyes.

It's like a wanted criminal calling the police and telling the police that he wants to live a peaceful life, don't ask me again.

This kind of person should be caught by the police, not by beating him out.

Don't watch the killers in the movie when they use their work mobile phones to check the police. In fact, if they really want to check, as long as they connect to the black base station, everything will be hidden.

Ai Liang was not sure whether the police had controlled the self-built base station in Nevada in the past few years, so she told Shi Feng in this roundabout way.

"Wait, many things are unclear on the phone, why don't you come out and meet tomorrow..." Xia Qinian said tentatively.

"Not interested, bye."

"There's a guy named Mask who's tracking you down recently, and I've got some clues!"

On the eve of hanging up the phone, Xia Qinian directly took out the last chip, and Ai Liang's fingers also stopped on the hanging button.

Xia Qinian on the other side of the phone spoke quickly: "Someone wanted to invite you to join an organization a few days ago, right? They also spread the recent rumors, and the purpose is to attract you. Not only that, they also have a relationship with the organ trade ten years ago. Relationship, that guy calling himself Mask Three was the buyer of that deal! We can work together on this."

Ai Liang saw the phone again and put it to her ear and asked, "Let's just ask, where did you hear that someone was chasing me?"

"I know an insider in his family who wants to defect."

"name?"

Xia Qinian took a deep breath and read out a name that Ai Liang was very familiar with: "Xu Zhihai."

Ai Liang was silent for a while.

Why does Xu Zhihai, a rubbish picker, get involved with this group of people... Then again, isn't his role over yet?

But these are not the point, there is another problem at the moment.

Not long ago, it was revealed that Xu Zhihai was the mastermind behind the two murders. Although he was released due to insufficient evidence, the police would definitely send someone to watch him.

Now Xia Qinian is going to take him to meet him again, and he will definitely be exposed to the police's sight by then.

Ai Liang could feel what it was like to shoot himself in the foot.

Looking at Xia Qinian's attitude that I won't say anything if I don't meet, it's not enough to see this side.

That group of people not only abused their names and tried to take the blame on themselves, but they also planned to silence them after the invitation failed.

There are also the curses that the masked man said before, these things make Ai Liang unable to turn a blind eye.

"Tomorrow at seven o'clock, the fast food restaurant on the fifth floor of Yuelai shopping mall, remember to bring that Xu Zhihai." Ai Liang said.

The soldiers will block the water and cover up, anyway, after he transforms, he is completely another person. As long as he finds a chance to get rid of the tracking, he can change back to his original appearance.

In a big shopping mall, the flow of people is very large, and you can just find a bathroom to get in and come out.

Unless they also have superpowers, they will never discover their true identity.

"clear."

Xia Qinian's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Ai Liang hung up the phone and switched off the old man back to the bedroom, and took out another spare mobile phone from the desk drawer.

When he had dinner with Xia Qinian before, he saw the style of the phone.

Although most people wouldn't associate a fifteen-year-old ordinary student with the terrifying cutthroat madman in the black zone, the details determine success or failure, and Ai Liang decided to use a backup mobile phone just to be on the safe side.

......

The next day, five thirty in the afternoon.

Ai Liang put on a pure white T-shirt and cropped jeans. This was the one he observed near the shopping mall for a day during the day. After statistics, he got the most photographed match. The shoes also chose the most popular styles at the moment.

Of course, Ai Liang did not do this to follow the trend. The first point of the police to track down the suspect is to find the physical characteristics. When the face cannot be clearly captured by the surveillance, the height, body shape and dress are the key research objects. Because there is no relevant training, it is difficult to imagine a person's appearance from descriptions alone.

But if he wraps himself tightly, it will look more eye-catching. In places with a lot of traffic, Ai Liang now wears a similar outfit for every twenty people. As long as he mixes in the crowd, it is like no one Good building materials merchants are as indistinguishable as mixing ashes in cement.

After changing clothes, Ai Liang took a taxi to Yuelai Shopping Mall.

There was still an hour before the appointment time. Taking advantage of this time, Ai Liang went around the mall, found out the location of each camera and the general building structure of the mall, and then ordered a cup of green tea at the beverage shop on the third floor to carry the bag. Store it here, and tell the clerk to go to the bathroom and get it later.

Then he put on a black mask in the bathroom of the mall and changed his body shape to complete the transformation of the tough guy form.

Wearing the appearance of a hermit, Ai Liang avoided the surveillance all the way to the fast food restaurant on the fifth floor.

Xia Qinian and Xu Zhihai have been waiting here for a long time.

Xia Qinian was holding a Sima, his face and fingers kept tapping on the table, and he said loudly that I was in a bad mood right now, while Xu Zhihai next to him was eating french fries and taking a sip of Coke from time to time.

The business of the fast food restaurant was good, and the seats were almost full. Xia Qinian's face became more and more gloomy after he rejected the request to join the table again.

At this time, Ai Liang went straight to the opposite side of him and sat down.

"There are already people here." Xia Qinian asked Ai Liang rudely to get up and leave.

Ai Liang glanced at the surveillance camera in the corner, took off the mask after confirming that only the back could be photographed and said, "I am."

Hearing this familiar neutral voice, Xia Qinian widened his eyes and looked at Ai Liang in disbelief.

"Why are you still so... young after so many years?"

He thought about it for a long time and couldn't come up with a suitable adjective. He could only suffocate the word "young".

Ai Liang's current appearance is only twenty-seven or eight. Ten years ago, he used this appearance to meet with his uncle and nephew Xia Qiyuan. Today, ten years later, his appearance has not changed.

On the other hand, Xia Qinian, with a shaggy beard, only his grandfathers would treat him as a junior.

Ai Liang put on her mask again and said, "You shouldn't be talking nonsense when you look for me. I don't mind if you want to continue to consume it. The plainclothes by the window will soon recognize my identity. Don't blame me then. Just leave."

"Plainclothes are monitoring Xu Zhihai, isn't it..." Xia Qinian worried that Ai Liang misunderstood and planned to explain.

"I know, I have already investigated his information, and now I only care about what he knows." Ai Liang turned his gaze to Xu Zhihai, and a stern look flashed in his eyes.

Hearing the black-zone SSR-level figure point the topic to him, Xu Zhihai greeted with a cheerful and kind smile: "It's really flattering to be worried about the famous Cutthroat Demon."

"The CEO who hides behind the scenes and guides others to kill is more powerful." Ai Liang replied bluntly: "Let others do the dirty hands."

"Do you think you're clean?" Xu Zhihai picked up a french fries covered in ketchup and put it in his mouth.

Ai Liang looked directly into Xu Zhihai's eyes, and seemed to say to him and herself, "No one's hands are clean, the key is how to get them dirty."

"Well, interesting remark, so I'm also on your kill list?"

"You'd better stay in prison."

"Obviously it was Gao Fuye and Wang Qiang who killed my sister. As a younger brother, is it wrong to take revenge? And... you have the right to say that about me?"

Hearing that he was on the hunting list of the Cutthroat Maniac, Xu Zhihai not only was not nervous, but also dared to refute with a smile, his courage is indeed not small.

The original meaning of Ai Liang's words was that he did not intend to pursue him, but the meaning of saying it as a hermit was different.

Obviously, there was some kind of cognitive error in the process of dissemination, which made Xu Zhihai mistakenly think that Ai Liang was going to attack him.

"I kill people who deserve to be killed, but innocent people die because of you."

Ai Liang said solemnly.

"Oh, the daughter of the enemy."

Xu Zhihai said disdainfully.

Xu Zhihai's situation is complicated, it is understandable that he killed Wang Qiang for the purpose of revenge, but Gao Jiajia is an innocent victim.

Killing Ai Liang for the purpose of revenge doesn't matter, but Xu Zhihai involved innocent people, which led to his behavior touching Ai Liang's bottom line but not completely crossing it.

Therefore, after discovering that Xu Zhihai was the real murderer behind the scenes, Ai Liang would persuade him to surrender, because Ai Liang himself was not qualified to judge whether his actions were right or wrong.

Xu Zhihai chose to take revenge in this extreme way when there was no way out.

He is not like the heinous guys in the black zone. It is not an exaggeration to drag them out and shoot them for ten minutes, and kill them without hesitation at all.

In the end, Ai Liang is just using those criminals to vent their emotions, and by the way, to eliminate violence and An Liang, and is not a truly impartial and selfless extrajudicial sanctioner. This kind of personal hatred Ai Liang is usually handed over to the police.

Moreover, there was another most fundamental and direct reason for Ai Liang to turn himself in. When he discovered that Xu Zhihai was the murderer, a thought flashed in his mind.

That thought was very familiar to Ai Liang, to the point that it scared him.

Xia Qinian, who originally planned to let the two get to know each other first, looked at the two tit-for-tat and could only speak up as a peacemaker.

"Time is running out, let's exchange information directly."

Xia Qinian suppressed his desire and handed over the initiative of the topic to Ai Liang.

Ai Liang asked directly without being pretentious: "The relationship between you and the mask number three, the name of the organization behind it, and the main purpose of your organization, please explain these clearly."

"Well, it's really rude." Xu Zhihai put down the fries, drank a coke to moisten his throat, and performed a Sichuan opera face change, as if the unpleasantness just now was an illusion, "These things are too troublesome to explain, I'll start from the beginning. Bar."

"First of all, the name of this organization is 'Apostolic Society', and its main purpose is to invite special talents to join the organization all over the world. As for who is a special talent, I don't know. They seem to have a special set of evaluation criteria."

"After my family died three years ago, a guy named Thousand Faces came to me and let me join them at the cost of helping me get revenge. I was desperate and I agreed. You can find out what happened later. Don't say more." Xu Zhihai said, "I don't know the purpose of this Apostle Association, after all, I'm just a preparatory member and haven't officially joined, and I haven't met anyone other than the person who invited me. ."

"As for the mask number three, it seems that he is an armed member of the Apostolic Society. I don't have much interaction with him. You may not believe it. They have some kind of special power that can instantly improve their physical fitness. The masked man can even raise his hand with one hand. 50kg barbell."

"As for other matters, let Mr. Xia Qinian explain. The fried chicken legs will not taste good if they are cold." Xu Zhihai tore off the seasoning package and sprinkled black pepper powder on the golden skin. Crackling sound.

"They came here once ten years ago. According to the dossier, the masked man asked Maoyan to help buy a living heart." Xia Qinian took over the words in a timely manner and added an explanation. "My uncle disappeared ten years ago to hunt down the masked man."

Ai Liang kept his face straight throughout the whole process. This Xu Zhihai seemed to have said a lot, but the actual information revealed was not much at all. The only useful information was the name of the wonderful organization.

When Ai Liang was thinking about how to find the members of this organization, Xia Qinian asked with a dull and painful expression: "Is my uncle still alive?"

Over the years, he has been hypnotizing himself that Xia Qiyuan must still be alive, but since reading the dossier in Shi Feng's office, a small crack appeared in Xia Qinian's original tough heart.

Ai Liang's answer may be the glue that fills the tiny gap, or it may be a stone chisel that widens the crack and makes the whole heart fragmented.

"It should be dead." Ai Liang's tone was flat and terrifying. "When Xia Qiyuan was pulled into the ambulance, the broken rib pierced the lung lobe, the right leg artery was incised, there were many fractures all over the body, and all the fingernails and teeth were pulled out. coming."

"But I didn't find the hospital's ambulance travel records." Xia Qinian clenched his fists and suppressed anger in his eyes. "All hospitals in Nevada City, including the emergency room of the Criminal Police Team, have no records of medical visits."

"I only saw him being carried into an ambulance by a group of people in military uniforms, I don't know what else." Ai Liang replied bluntly.

"Military uniform?" Xia Qinian was stunned.

Then he fell into deep self-doubt, which means that Xia Qinian was taken away by the official?
