Chapter 236: Xie Ping's disciples

He turned, his eyes still reddening a little, to the man in the police uniform, and word for word, gave his name--

"Li Yun?"

"......" the officer paused and smiled, "how do you recognize it."

Xie Qingcheng's gaze swept over the other man's hand, albeit quickly, but the officer felt it keenly.

"Oh ......" The officer looked at his wrist, puzzled.

Xie Qingcheng : "I don't think I'm mistaken."

Li Yun was quiet for a few seconds, dropped her hand, and smiled slightly, "Yeah. You're not mistaken. I didn't think you'd remember me, Xie Qingcheng."

Li Yun, originally another disciple of Xie Ping.

He and Chen Man's brother, Chen Lisheng, graduated from the police academy at the same time and later died in the line of duty.

Like Chen Lisheng, Li Yun has shown amazing talent during his school years. He is a gifted and skillful student, and if he wasn't a bit weaker than Chen Lisheng in the area of infiltration, he would have won the first place in the police academy.

After Li Yun entered the police station as an intern, after a few cases, the leaders thought that he was a very good person, because he did things quickly and easily, wherever he pointed to hit, and no matter how difficult the task entrusted to him, he could do it very beautifully.

An old criminal investigation expert at the time commented that he was a natural born to be a police officer.

However, Master Xie Ping kept him at a distance, which is why Xie Qingcheng was familiar with Chen Lisheng, but not so much with Li Yun.

At first, young Xie Qingcheng didn't understand why his father treated his two students so differently.

Until one day--

"Officer Xie? He's on the fourth floor, go find him."

It was a night when Xie Qingcheng, who had finished his homework at the police station, wanted to look for Xie Ping. The auntie who was sweeping the floor casually showed him the way, and Xie Qingcheng went up the stairs in this way.

The fourth floor was a place he had never been before, where there were interrogation rooms and temporary detention rooms that the police uncles on duty usually kept him away from. But that day was an exception, the year was 2000, there was a fireworks extravaganza in Huzhou to celebrate the millennium, a once-in-a-millennium moment, when the fireworks bloomed, the night sky was like day, and the excited voice of the host rang out on the TV, even the police officers on duty couldn't help but stand up in front of the window, probing to witness this moment of historical change.

So no one noticed a tiny child, Xie Qingcheng just walked into the depths of the fourth floor corridor by mistake.

"Dad? Dad ......"

Perhaps because of the towering iron fences on both sides and the dim light, the very young Xie Qingcheng could not help but softly call out to Xie Ping.

Suddenly, he heard some slight movement up ahead.

Thinking it was his father, he walked quickly over to him, only before he could push the door, he saw beyond the bars a scene that made his heart skip a beat -

Inside the house was a middle-aged man with a tattooed flower arm, Xie Qingcheng knew him, it was a drug dealer captured by the police department. This drug dealer is very tough-talking, and is said to have a crush on their female boss, so after interrogating him for many days, the man just refuses to divulge information about their gang.

At this moment, perhaps because of the Millennium Festival, the rules of interrogation of prisoners were not enforced according to the regulations, according to the theory that the interrogation of prisoners should be conducted in groups of two, but at that time, the cell was very unorthodox, and only Li Yun was a trainee guarding the cell.

Through the cold bars, Xie Qingcheng saw that the prisoner's face was covered with a layer of something bleak and white, which, upon closer inspection, appeared to be the toilet paper that could be found everywhere in the office. The toilet paper was wet and stuck tightly to the drug dealer's face, suffocating him so that he couldn't breathe or see anything, and what about Li Yun?

The intern-who was only in her early twenties at the time-was holding a vat of enameled mugs, snow-white fingers lining the lugs with elegantly weak texture, her lips parted lightly as the hot air blew away, and Li Yun slowly and methodically took a sip of the hot tea, lowering her head, her eyes fixing on the wet paper that covered the prisoner's face in scrutiny.

The prisoner's legs were spasming and stomping and kicking, jerking and jerking as if he were a dying fish.

Li Yun softly said, "Big brother, this water is almost dry, are you going to say it or not?"

The teacup hovered up to the man's cheek, deliberately touching the man's face lightly with the body of the cup.

"If you don't tell me, I wouldn't mind buying you some more tea, I just don't know if you have the life to afford it?"

"You're forcing a confession! You're forcing a confession!" The drug dealer screamed hysterically, "I ...... want to report you for breaking the law! I want to file a complaint! Where are you ...... your leaders? Call your leaders to come ...... here!!!"

Before the words were finished, the warm tea soup had already splashed onto his face, dampening that paper towel once more.

Li Yun was not enough, covered his face with a few more wet wipes, the drug dealer's breathing became more difficult, the breath out of the wet paper can not be topped, even the sound can not come through. He struggled hysterically, handcuffs and shackles clattered, but to no avail.

Li Yun moved closer to him and said coldly in his ear, "Illegal? You're a drug dealer and you're talking to me about breaking the law?"

His hand rose and brushed across the drug dealer's throat.

"I'm not really a cop yet either, so you don't need to intimidate me with a report. Besides, let me tell you another situation, the security camera here is broken, it will take many days to fix it, guess who will see what I did? If you suffocate and die here, who will advocate for you? As far as I know you're fatherless, motherless, wifeless and childless, right, do you really think anyone will dig up the cause of your death?"

The sound got lower and lower, and it seemed so eerie over the sound of fireworks and cheering coming from outside.

"Think it over, should we tell all that information ...... You protect your boss, she doesn't know, I see that she doesn't have you in her eyes at all, is it worth it to die for her like this?"

The prisoner's struggles became more and more violent, and the low cries that came from his throat became more and more mournful.

The cold light hit them, and their shadows were distorted and elongated, projected beyond the iron fence, and landed on the young Xie Qingcheng, like a horrible and absurd shadow play, dancing in a frenzy.

Xie Qingcheng Open your eyes, your mind a blur, and take it all in ......

That's it.

He remembered - he had gone to Xie Ping because he felt feverish at that time, and the mental stimulation given to him by this scene was so strong that the sky was spinning in front of his eyes, and the only thing that was clear to him at last was the mark on Li Yun's wrist, and he watched Li Yun strangling the drug dealer's neck as if he would end the life of a living person at any moment. He watched Li Yun strangle the neck of the drug dealer, as if he would end the life of a living person at any moment.

The hand that held the power of life and death in that private grip didn't even look like a police cadet at all, but rather like a reader's hand, soft and boneless.

On her wrist, there was a vermillion mole the size of a copper plate.

The red birthmark was like a red spider, ambling on Li Yun's pale wrist, climbing in the depths of Xie Qingcheng's memory......

A flash of twenty years.

At this moment, Xie Qingcheng stared at the middle-aged man in front of him, the man's face is old, already do not recognize the appearance of the year's beautiful and handsome, but he relied on the wrist of the red mole of a touch of vermilion sand, but still call back to the depths of the mind about the reflection of this person. At this time and then carefully recognize his eyebrows and eyes, really can still vaguely see some outlines.

Xie Qingcheng remembers that he was feverish and frightened, the child seemed to be nightmarish, fainted, and when he woke up, he was already lying in the hospital infusion room, with his parents by his side.

He talked to his father about what he had seen outside the cell door, and was struck by the fact that his father was looking oddly angry, but as if he was not surprised by what Li Yun had done.

As he grew older, he learned that his father had had problems with Li Yun from the beginning, a young man who appeared to be lazy, quiet, and unassertive, but whose behavior on several occasions struck Xie Ping as over-the-top and dehumanizing. That cruelty enabled Li Yun to accomplish his tasks more decisively than his contemporaries, but in Xie Ping's opinion, that was not a good thing.

Xie Ping later told Xie Qingcheng that although no one believed that Li Yun had really used asphyxiation to force a confession, it was prudent for them to transfer Li Yun away from his position at the time.

That drug dealer was eventually sentenced to life imprisonment, and until the sentencing, he never revealed the whereabouts of his sweetheart. Li Yun knew about it and just said faintly, "Foolish."

In Xie Ping's evaluation of Li Yun's internship, there is an intriguing passage in which Xie Ping says that Li Yun is only suitable for the technical department, not for the front line, and even less for fighting alongside his teammates.

On too many missions, he's gone too far, as if he doesn't care about anything at all, and "getting there" is all he's after.

No one can be trusted or controlled by such a person.

Xie Qingcheng's family and Li Yun had always been distant, and when Xie Qingcheng heard news about him again, it was already a few years later - Li Yun had died.

It is surprising because according to what we know about Li Yun, he has high individual ability, not too much team spirit, and knows how to save his own skin, so he should be the kind of person who is the least likely to get into trouble during a mission. However, he did fall into a cliff during a pursuit operation and died in the fire of a vehicle explosion.

People searched the files and found that he was actually following the case of Chen Lisheng's death.

He was indifferent to everyone, and Chen Lisheng was also indifferent to him, but as a fellow student and a university dormitory, Li Yun did have more contact with Chen Lisheng than with anyone else, and Chen Lisheng was a calm and upright person who treated people very well, so people at the police station thought that maybe Li Yun recognized Chen Lisheng as his teammate, only that he was not good at expressing himself. Therefore, people in the police station thought that Li Yun might recognize Chen Lisheng as a teammate, only that he was not good at expressing himself.

Only a few had more or less doubt in their minds.

For example, Xie Qingcheng, because he has seen Li Yun's murderous behavior, so there is always like an obstacle in his heart, it is difficult to imagine what kind of mentality Li Yun is holding to give his life for the cause of death of his teammates. However, the death of a person is important, except for an old criminal police officer to Li Yun's death publicly expressed a skeptical attitude, the other people did not say anything else.

Until now--

Li Yun has appeared again.

Twenty years after his "death" for Chen Lisheng, he appeared once again before Xie Qingcheng, on the island where Mandela fought, and asked them to get into his car, saying that it was a request from the organization.

Although Xie Qingcheng was unable to analyze a single clue, he had already stepped forward on guard, silently clutched He Yu's wrist, and pulled He Yu behind himself.

He stared intently at Li Yun, his eyes moving from the birthmark on Li Yun's wrist to the face that still bore the marks of those days.

"Have you been working in the shadows for the organization."

Li Yun said lightly, "Twenty years."

"Why in such a way."

"It's a long story." Li Yun said, "There is no way to go into detail with you here. If you want to hear it, then get on board and go back to the ship so you can take your time and ask the commander-in-chief about me. Or would you rather disobey orders and insist on staying here?"

He said, surveying over Xie Qingcheng's hand holding He Yu's wrist, and over Xie Qingcheng's lips that were paler from having just broken free of the blood compulsion-he waited, quietly, for those lips to give him an answer.

He Yu still do not know why, only know Xie Qingcheng must be and this person in front of him, observation, suddenly felt Xie Qingcheng holding his hand gently move a little, finger rubbing, and then move a little, as if some kind of hint.

He Yu suddenly stopped moving, his almond eyes slightly turned that way, his eyes quietly fell to Xie Qingcheng's fingertips, gazing with bated breath at Xie Qingcheng's fingers tapping one by one on his wrist.

Meanwhile, Xie Qingcheng coughed slightly, and after a while, he said to Li Yun, "I choose to stay."

"Why?"

"Wouldn't you leave your partner behind, Officer Lee."

Li Yun did not answer immediately, but asked, "Even if this is an iron order from headquarters?"

Xie Qingcheng said, "I was never a real police officer. Any order from headquarters is invalid for me."

"......"

"You may turn in, Li Yun." Xie Qingcheng stared into the man's eyes, "Go back."

"You insist on not leaving?"

"No go."

Li Yun quietly leaned against the car door, while he observed Xie Qingcheng's movements, especially the detailed movements of Xie Qingcheng's fingertips gently tapping He Yu's wrist, he smoked out the Marlboro in his hand, when the cigarette butt fell to the ground and crashed into the starry flames, he suddenly tilted his head back and laughed loudly, "... ... Xie Qingcheng, what a shame. What a great Morse code fight with your little boyfriend, how much longer do you plan to pretend?!"

"!!!"

Like a figure of speech, the moment the words came out, the arrow on the string broke steeply, shattering the taut atmosphere.

Several things happened almost simultaneously--

The jeep behind Li Yun roared to life, carrying Chen Man straight towards the dark forest.

Xie Qingcheng suddenly rushed forward to stop the car and told He Yu in a stern voice, "Do it!!!"

In the next second, He Yu suddenly raised his blood-stained hand and pointed it fiercely in Li Yun's direction, ordering with the power of blood compulsion, "Kneel down!"

The shock was only a split second.

Li Yun's eyes widened as he stumbled and fell forward, and He Yu barked at the driver who was stomping on the gas pedal and running toward the dense forest, "Stop the car! Stop the car!

This time, I don't know if it was because the distance was too far, but the jeep driver was not affected by the blood parasites, and still broke through Xie Qingcheng's and He Yu's block, carrying the dazed Chen Man as he sped away. Xie Qingcheng's face changed slightly, and when he was about to chase after him, he suddenly heard a ghostly voice from behind him...

"It's about time for the game to be played."

Xie Qingcheng suddenly turned back, actually saw Li Yun lips slowly bloomed a thin cold smile, then indifferently raised his eyes, got up from the ground, patted away the dust, he was not affected by the blood parasites!

Li Yun's lips opened and closed as he coldly said towards He Yu and Xie Qingcheng, "Sorry for the controlled look, I was teasing you guys. It's been a while since I've played with my juniors like this."

"......"

"It's a shame, isn't it. Blood compulsion does nothing for me."

He Yu : "...... You have a clear heart ring on you?!"

"Clear Heart Ring?" Li Yun laughed softly, "No. I don't need that kind of thing. By the way-"

He glanced over Xie Qingcheng's movement of putting his hands behind his back, "Don't play any more tricks on me, for the latest generation of hearing water ingredient is already flowing in your blood. Your orders are useless against me, but my orders will work against you."

He Yu did not believe it, Tie Qing face said, "Impossible ......! When did ......"

Both he and Xie Qingcheng were very careful with their diets, especially before the duel, and He Yu could confirm that he had never eaten anything that could be suspected of being poisoned.

"Oh? Don't you believe it?"

Li Yun smiled slightly, that smile vaguely there was still the year Cui Yan lazy look, at this moment, he seemed to be that cell like a snake almost let the drug dealer suffocated to death of the young and beautiful interns. His smile is cruel, dangerous, like the poppy bones that roam the hills of his hometown.

The man didn't explain, he just proved that he wasn't lying with his actual actions, "Well then, why don't we give it a try."

The words came out of his mouth, and then suddenly turned--

"Sleep."

The two words were decisive, and the order fell. Xie Qingcheng and He Yu suddenly felt an extremely strong sense of dizziness in their brains, the feeling was too horrible, as if a large amount of anesthetic was spreading in their bodies, taking away their consciousness in just an instant!

Before they lost consciousness, they heard Li Yun utter a cryptic phrase that had no meaning--

"Xie Qingcheng, your choice of not leaving him behind is something I appreciate. It is just a pity that the way is different, I have to be your enemy ...... So, I am afraid that this is the last meeting between the two of you."

......

Last meeting?

What do you mean ...... how can you be poisoned by hearing water ...... obviously have paid close attention to how ......

"Don ...... t ...... can not ...... don't be the last time we meet ......" Suddenly a murmur floated into Xie Qingcheng ears, like ripples slowly spread in his heart.

Xie Qingcheng's consciousness was already very fuzzy, but he still turned his head back to look at the youth who made the murmur.

It's the same He Yu who can't hold on much longer.

He Yu consciousness has already blurred, eyes also look very lax, but that lonely Little dragon still insisted on using the last bit of strength to go forward, wanting to pull Xie Qingcheng's hand: "Don't be the last time we see each other, you've just been willing to hug my ...... Brother ......"

But it was sinking in front of his eyes, like a butterfly in a spider's web, and he simply couldn't break free anymore.

Xie Qingcheng Seeing his other hand take something from his pocket and reach toward himself, as if trying to hand it to himself with the only strength left, the youth whispered, "Brother, I am sorry, I have dragged you down again ...... I... ..."

He didn't finish.

Or maybe Xie Qingcheng didn't listen to the whole thing, just like inhaling anesthesia before the start of an operation, at a certain point, one's consciousness disappears in an instant.

Xie Qingcheng only remembers He Yu's final look of near-sadness, and then nothing, complete darkness before his eyes ......
