Swallowing the Seas

Chapter 19

The two of them were sitting and squatting, their foreheads almost touching each other. After a while, Wu Yu raised the corners of his pale and cold mouth, and the movement was very hasty and short: "What are you talking about? You are a leader, and you are not selling drugs."

Then he turned his head and tried to break away, but the back of his neck was pressed down by Bu Zhonghua's palm and pushed back: "Let me guess what you are thinking."

"Every morning you come to work, sit in a daze behind your desk, and listen to me reprimanding you. Occasionally, you face gangsters who break into homes and rob people, and losers who snatch bags in a car. The death of a few people is considered a serious crime. On the way home from work, I heard The radio broadcasts gossipy news about the entertainment industry, but I don't understand it; they say that among those celebrities, which ones are getting married, having children, and which ones are getting divorced and having scandals, I don't know them. I go home alone, open the door, and there's not even a ghost on the four walls except for you; upstairs I ate everything within ten kilometers of the takeout, cooked my own meal, and kept the leftovers warm for a week. - I might as well go back and work as an undercover agent, right?"

"......"

"You have been lurking in the jungle where the blades are licking blood for too long, and you can no longer blend into the warm sheepfold. Do you feel very warm when you see Liu Li? Those sad, pitiful, ignorant, helpless, twisted and deformed in the gaps between the horns Doesn't his life look particularly similar to Xie Qianshan's?"

Wu Yu pursed her lips tightly, and her whole body seemed to be frozen.

Bu Zhonghua stared closely at his slightly trembling pupils: "But I want to pull you back from the gap."

The sound of flushing water came from somewhere, rushing through the water pipe, and then rushing away again. Someone slams the door in the distance, echoing in the empty corridor, footsteps approaching yet far away.

It was like the sound of iron ropes dragging on the ground.

"Two, three, six, five-nine!" the guard drawled impatiently: "Someone is visiting--"

The skylight was cut into countless twisted fragments by the iron fence, and spread on the silhouette of the person opposite the visitation window. Wu Yu trembled and stared at him. He saw the extremely familiar eye sockets, nose shadow and cheeks sunken deeply, like ghosts peeking out from hell, but the eyes were burning with a strange and frightening light.

"Why did they ask you to come here? Why are you here? Why did you come here if you studied well in the police academy?!"

......

Wu Yu's chest couldn't help but rise and fall, but it was as if his throat was filled with deep water. Apart from his increasingly rapid breathing, he tried his best to make no sound -

"...I'll pull you back..."

"I said I would pull you back from that hell!"

"I know you want to solve this case, just like everyone else." Bu Zhonghua patted the black hair on the back of Wu Yu's head, finally let go of him, and said in a deep voice: "If you gave Liu Li money at Gao Ling's house, If it wasn't you, or if it was someone else who was pestered by her in the interrogation room just now, I wouldn't have this reaction, but it would be different if it were you. Do you know why?"

Wu Yu seemed to be immersed in some old nightmare, and even his breathing was barely noticeable. His eyes were scattered and floating in the air. When he heard the words, he was shocked and suddenly woke up: "What?"

Bu Zhonghua said: "That day Nian Daxing was drunk and making trouble in front of the surveillance camera. There were people in the corridor, but you were the only one who didn't hesitate to beat him up. From that time on, I knew that there were some qualities in you that were really different from others. ."
