Wang Ao’s adam’s apple bobbed as he opened his mouth. He could see Gu Xizhou’s resolve. Since childhood, he knew that once Gu Xizhou had an idea, he wouldn’t listen to him and could only shut his mouth in anger.
After Wang Ao left, Gu Xizhou pressed his hand to the interrogation room window.
Actually, it didn’t matter where those bodies were buried. What mattered was which black doctors were connected with Liao Chunhua other than Ren Pengzheng.
Liao Chunhua wouldn’t say a word and other than Ren Pengzheng, the black doctors would quickly realize Liao Chunhua had lost contact. If they escaped they might even go to other cities and establish new organ trafficking gangs. Additionally, the smaller criminals might flee to the end of the world.
The people in the police station continued the interrogation and Liao Chunhua shouted that he wanted to sue Gu Xizhou. Gu Xizhou massaged his forehead and patted Lao Guo’s shoulder. “It’s up to you. I’m going to the hospital to see Fang Zhi.”
“Team Leader Gu, It’s okay, he…”
Gu Xizhou made a gesture to silence him, claiming several of his colleagues. “Listen closely.”
As he spoke he turned around and walked down the stairs. When he reached the corner he saw Si Yu’s exhausted form sitting in a chair in the station’s lobby. As if sensing Gu Xizhou he raised his head and gave him a smile.
Gu Xizhou stepped forward with a warm heart and was about to speak when Si Yu stood up and hugged him. This was the lobby and Gu Xizhou subconsciously felt like it was inappropriate but he was reluctant to decline the other person’s hug and didn’t push him away. His eyes turned red in an instant and all of his strength became meaningless in front of this person.
Memories emerged from the depths of his mind…
A young man with a cigarette in his mouth walked down the stairs of a shabby building. He took a drag of his cigarette and bought two loaves of bread from a nearby store. When he returned, a scream came from upstairs.
The young man threw his things on the ground and sprinted up the stairs, sweating profusely. When he was halfway there, he saw a dead body lying on the ground.
Wasn’t this the guy the police were looking for?
While the young man puzzled over it, he kicked the body, his gun in hand. The body slumped over revealing a large bloody gunshot wound in the side of its head.
Hong Ge fired his gun? No, it couldn’t be because when he was downstairs he hadn’t heard a gunshot!
“Hong Ge, Hong Ge, where are you?!” The young man walked down the hallway calling for his colleague. As he stepped around the body to go upstairs he noticed that there was an open door.
The girl!
It was his and Hong Ge’s job to protect that girl, and now the whole city was looking for that man she photographed. He knew that the other person couldn’t escape, but he didn’t expect that he would dare to come here and kill people.
He was just about to go in when the hurried sound of footsteps came from behind him. A young girl’s…

It was a resident. He had seen that girl before and his vigilant heart relaxed. “Don’t come up!” He urged the girl downstairs.

The fair skinned girl clutched the kitchen knife in her hand and stabbed it into his waist. The girl cried as she pulled the knife out and stabbed him again without looking.
Blood welled up from the wound and flowed down his waist, drenching the corridor in an instant. He used the railing to support himself but his physical strength slowly weakened. He looked behind him in surprise at the girl covered head to toe in blood, the look on his face indescribable.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry. My— My grandma… They have my grandma… I’m sorry!”
Tears fell from her eyes as the girl turned and ran down the stairs, banging on her own door anxiously. “Open up, ah!”
The person inside opened the door and turned to the side, glancing at the young man who could only lean over the railing due to blood loss. The young man’s body felt weak all over.
“I-I did what you asked. Let my grandma go!”
“Hahahaha! Did you hear her?”
“You still want to live after seeing our faces? Besides, the old lady’s already dead.”
“Who knew she was so scared, ah? She suddenly dropped dead.”
Drip.
Drip.
Thin streams of blood dripped down the stairs.
The girl’s mind went blank. She instinctively opened her mouth, but her screams were covered by someone’s hand. The white haired old lady sat up in the chair, her eyes staring straight ahead but she’d already stopped breathing.
The young man struggled to open his heavy eyes, his vision blurring…
He watched as someone carried the body from the corridor through a door. He heard the distant sound of weeping and then everything went dark.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”
Someone was whispering in his ear. So noisy.
Opening his eyes again the young man saw the little girl’s face.
“You…”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…” The girl saw he was awake and automatically hugged him. There was also a man who hugged him from the otherside.
“Xizhou, you’re awake.” The man’s eyes were red and he bit his cracked lips, tears falling uncontrollably.
“Hong Ge, I’m really glad you’re okay. Where are we?”
Ji Hung smiled bitterly. “Those people caught us and are trying to sell our organs…”
It turned out that when Gu Xizhou went out to buy food, Ji Hong was knocked senseless and tied up. Those people knew that when Gu Xizhou saw that Ji Hong wasn’t there he would definitely pull out his gun. Afraid of drawing attention, they kidnapped the little girl’s grandma and threatened her into killing Gu Xizhou.
“You have a lot of courage, ah. Kidnapping a cop.”
“We’re going to kill them anyway. Why not use them to make some money.”
Two voices came from the otherside of the door.
When everyone heard this their scalps went numb and a chill rose from the soles of their feet. What didn’t these people dare to do?
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…” the girl repeated, lowering her head.
Gu Xizhou raised an eyebrow and looked at the little girl. “Can you stop talking?”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
Ji Hong shook his head. “It’s useless. She’s received a shock and might have a problem with her mind. Since we were locked in here she’s been helping you stop the bleeding and apologizing while she holds your hand.”
“Fang Zhi is awake. Let’s go to the hospital, ba.”
“Xizhou?”
Gu Xizhou heard Si Yu’s voice in his ear and was immediately pulled from his thoughts. He followed Si Yu to the car. After getting in, Si Yu leaned over to help him fasten his seat belt and drove away from the station.
Si Yu lowered his voice and said, “Xiang Yuan sent me a message saying that you hit a suspect and that you won’t be a police officer anymore.”
Gu Xizhou snorted and nodded.
“Why?” Si Yu asked, suddenly pulling over and placing both hands on the steering wheel. He examined Gu Xizhou carefully.
Gu Xizhou: “…”
Si Yu, “I want to listen.”
Gu Xizhou’s adam’s apple bobbed and he lowered his voice. “Let me tell you about a case, ba…”
“Twenty years ago there was a case in Linshi involving this group of people. One of their gang members was accidentally photographed by a passerby while they were disposing of their bodies…”
Two officers and an innocent girl got caught and were locked up with four other people who were from all over the country. The number of people became less and less until finally they all died.
Gu Xizhou told Si Yu about the case from that year. Si Yu was silent for a long time before asking, “Which officer did you say resisted and ran away? What happened to him?”
“He was caught again and buried,” Gu Xizhou said apathetically.
“And then what?” Si Yu asked.
Gu Xizhou shook his head. “No, they were all buried… En…”
“Si Yu, do you believe that people can come back to life? For example the officer I was talking about…”
Si Yu looked at Gu Xizhou and nodded. “I believe it.”
Gu Xizhou turned to Si Yu and smiled. He didn’t say anything else, turning back to stare out the window.
The two rushed to the hospital to find Fang Zhi awake and clear-headed. Gu Xizhou massaged his forehead and said sternly, “You stinky little boy! Do you know that you almost died? Why are you so brave, ah!”
Fang Zhi smiled shyly and told Gu Xizhou, “Because I still had time. I wasn’t afraid.”
“What time did you have? Why are you speaking in riddles?” Xiang Yuan raised one eyebrow unhappily and rolled his eyes, his gaze sweeping over Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi’s faces.
“I didn’t say anything. You can’t understand because your own brain isn’t working!” Gu Xizhou replied, rolling his eyes.
“What, ah…?” Xiang Yuan nagged.
After chatting a little more Xiang Yuan mentioned the situation with Liao Chunhua. Actually, Wang Ao had called to have him tell Gu Xizhou about the situation.
“That guy still won’t talk,” Xiang Yuan said with a grimace, turning to Gu Xizhou. “You ah! Why are you so impulsive! Weren’t you boasting about being rational?”
Gu Xizhou: “Don’t talk to me. It’s better not to be a police officer. Just look at Fang Zhi, he almost died.”
Xiang Yuan was blocked by Gu Xizhou’s words and shut his mouth resentfully. He wanted to persuade Gu Xizhou, but he choked on his words when he remembered how Gu Xizhou had sent Fang Zhi to the hospital.
Gu Xizhou followed Si Yu back home and sat on the sofa in exhaustion. He was actually still worried. Those vicious people had escaped. Maybe they would continue to kill the whole way to their escape, just like those two fugitives who killed Ji Ji!
“What’s wrong?” Si Yu asked.
Gu Xizhou expressed his concern and Si Yu hugged him. “It won’t happen.”
After holding Gu Xizhou for a while, Si Yu realized that he hadn’t moved. At a glance he saw that Gu Xizhou’s eyes were closed and that he’d already fallen asleep.
“So you fell asleep. That’s good. These past few days have been tiring.”
Si Yu’s expression was flat as his fine boned hands lifted Gu Xizhou. His long legs took a step forward, his shirt swaying as he walked.
Si Yu set Gu Xizhou down on the bed and saw his brow furrow slightly. He was clearly having an unpleasant dream.
Si Yu’s sword brows drew together in concern, his soft hair falling forward. A kiss landed on Gu Xizhou’s forehead. “I promise it won’t.”
Touching Gu Xizhou’s soft hair, his eyes flickered. He knew there was one detail in that case that Gu Xizhou had not told him—That officer was still breathing when they buried him.
Those vile people… This is the first case in this novel that I feel this much anger toward the bad guy. ಠ益ಠ
Holy moly! I can’t wait to find out what happens next! 👀
how the f does si yu knnow that?!?!?!
He probably one of the officers or he was an entities that can see anything or whatsoever
