when the moon whispers

case two baby

a nightmare

The cloudy and hazy entangled the chaotic moonlight, and the air exuded a wet, sticky and foul smell.

His eyelids were as heavy as lead.Shao Jie shook his mushy head, silently rubbed his eyes that could not see the road clearly, and unconsciously staggered along a beam of hazy yellow light, walking at a loss for how long. Shao Jie felt that his feet were getting heavier and heavier, as if he had stepped on the ground and it was sticky. smell.

At this moment, a sharp and shrill hiss pierced the boundless darkness without warning.

The stagnant air suddenly flowed violently, and the cold wind poured into Shao Jie's nose and throat. He couldn't help coughing twice, feeling his internal organs were burning violently, and the cold haze pushed his chest cavity , like a pair of invisible hands tightly choking Shao Jie's throat, frantically squeezing the thin oxygen in his blood—he tried to struggle to run forward, but his feet were dragged by the sticky ground, and he could only run out After a few steps, he fell heavily and sat under the flickering street lamp.Shao Jie tried to shout for help, but his throat was clogged with bloody gas that could not be swallowed, and he could not make a sound. He felt pain in every part of his body, as if his limbs were entangled by a cloud of invisible black mist. Embedded in the cold alleyway wall, stiff and unable to move.

Shao Jie felt as if he was almost suffocated and passed out, his soul and body seemed to have been torn in two, and he was suffering and soberly waiting for death to come—just before his eyelids drooped, he saw a pair of exquisite leather shoes coming from Walking over from a distance, he stood leisurely outside the light beam.

Shao Jie instinctively reached out to him for help, but suddenly saw that the sticky scarlet on his fingertips merged with the dark color spreading across the entire alleyway.The man was wearing a black windbreaker, his tall figure almost covered all the dim light above his head.Without saying a word, he looked down at Shao Jie, who was like a drowning young bird. After a long time, he walked into the light, revealing a bloody smiling face.

Then Shao Jie saw him raise his index finger, the scarlet color flowed from his fingertips into the sleeve of the windbreaker, and the blood dripped from the corner of the clothes to the ground in a "slap" and "slap".

"Shh."

For a moment, Shao Jie felt his stomach was overwhelmed, his heart was beating so fast that it rushed out of his chest, and the darkness and haze in his vision suddenly became distorted and chaotic. Shao Jie could feel himself trembling with fear and cold, but he couldn't cry out. He made a sound, and fell to the ground with mottled dizziness in front of his eyes... At that moment as if he was dying, a pair of hands broke through the scarlet and dark fog, holding his hand firmly with the broken and dim light in his eyes, and fell Whispered hoarsely in his ear——

"..."

Shao Jie suddenly opened his eyes.

The aftertaste of suffocation and nausea from the nightmare remained, and the smell of rusty blood could even be vaguely tasted in the mouth.

Shao Jie was tossed into a cold sweat by the resurgence of the old nightmare after a long time.He turned around in a daze and got up from the bed. He first glanced at the dimly lit sky in the gap between the curtains, stretched his numb arms, and pulled at the T-shirt that was wet from cold sweat on his back. He suddenly felt a faint twitch in his throat, and he After being dazed for two seconds, he rushed out of the bedroom, turned into the bathroom with his head drooping and locked it with his hands behind his back, bent over the toilet and retched a few times, then fell to the ground as if he had collapsed, panting depressedly, and waited until his ears The faint buzzing at the side gradually dissipated and returned to calm. The five senses seemed to be broken and put back together again. Only then did he dare to stand up with the sink on his hands, and raised his eyelids to look at himself in the mirror.

The redness from the shortness of breath faded away, his face was pale, and there was a small cloud of blue hanging listlessly under his eyes.The tip of the tongue rolled over the gums, and the blood oozing from the anger smacked the rusty smell in his mouth.

Shao Jie washed his face.He doesn't have the energy to talk now, he is afraid that he will be caught by Mr. Wu, Director Shao, who is not out for work after going through such a toss at six or seven o'clock in the morning. He glanced at the kitchen table with the light on, and pushed the door out with loose and hunched shoulders. When he passed by the entrance, he found that the shoes of the two busy men had disappeared, and there was only a note in haste and scribbled on the table.

"A high school bus accident, the central hospital's emergency department received urgently, please leave a text message if you have anything to do."

Shao Jie held the note, held it silent for a few seconds, crumpled it into a ball and threw it away, swayed back to the room with bare feet, threw his head into the quilt that was still warm, buried his head in the pillow for a long time, and dug out the mystery that was lost and recovered only two days ago. Terman wallet, took out an old siren from the wallet interlayer, stroked it a few times, and held it tightly in the palm of his hand.

The chronic dull pain of burning in the bottom of the stomach gradually became numb, and the strong heartbeat of anxiety and fear finally returned to the normal contraction frequency. Shao Jie closed his eyes, but couldn't fall asleep. He tossed and turned on the bed for several times. The mobile phone was dug out, and the local news was refreshed to pass the time.

The turmoil of the stalking and wounding case has almost dissipated without a trace, but the reconstruction work in Fengnan New District is in full swing, and even the news that Sheng'an City is raising funds to support the cultural industry and e-sports industry can occupy an article.

Shao Jie flicked his fingers quickly, and briefly browsed through a bunch of news photos of "market supervision", "people's housing", and "community publicity". On the mobile phone, quickly flipping back to the page, hovering over a text message of "the fugitive suspect was arrested and taken back in other provinces", looking at the blurred side face in the corner of the photo with the picture, blinked slowly for a long while .

----

"According to the weather forecast issued by the Municipal Meteorological Observatory, it is estimated that from today night to tomorrow day, there will be northerly winds of magnitude 6-8 in this city. I hope that the audience and friends will pay attention to the cold and keep warm, bring rain gear when going out, and pay attention to safety on the road..."

Shao Jie yawned wearily, and the hot air exhaled from his mouth condensed into a small white mist, which dissipated in front of his eyes in an instant.

The cold wave seemed to come earlier than the broadcast warning, and the cold wind seemed to penetrate through every opening, desperately drilling into the compartment through the gaps in the windows.

Shao Jie slightly relaxed his neck, which was tense and stiff due to the sudden drop in temperature, and glanced at the two drunkards who were snoring loudly in the back seat of the taxi with their arms close together to keep warm, then turned his head again, raised his eyelids, He stared expressionlessly at the red light at the intersection and counted down the seconds.

The turmoil of public opinion during the transfer period between Jiang Weili's "secret secret" and the lob branch in Sheng'an City should have ended after that, but there are too many people who are idle and bored on the Internet all day long. Seeing a wave of draws, some people can't wait to disrupt the situation, throwing out a seemingly neutral inference sporadically and meaningfully - drg would rather change the entire team than resolutely replace the team that would have earned both fame and fortune for the club. The reason why Jiang Weili was accepted may not be simple.

These words are really ambiguous. On the Internet, which can cause bloody storms at the slightest sign of trouble, it is a fuse that can be ignited by sparks. The rumor of "the club is ungrateful for profit" has just blown, "Jiang Weili innocently fell victim to the commercialization of e-sports" The speculation was clamored by fans and sent to the hot search. What's more, they started to use "excellent citizens" who were honorably admitted to the hospital after being innocently hit by the sole of their shoes, saying that Shao Jie's return to Sheng'an was a "returning" Old accounts with ulterior motives."

Things that are out of reach can be tied together with a rope and a knot.

Shao Jie is no stranger to being muddled into the vortex of public opinion. He happily reads those hot posts at home, but Huo Ke, who only stood in the same camp again after three years Li Zechuan and Li Zechuan were always a little resentful, afraid that this little dough that hadn't moved to the dormitory at the base would be wronged again alone, coaxing people out to eat Japanese food with one song and one, and getting drunk after drinking two bottles of sake .

Shao Jie didn't drink, and the time spent on a meal changed from a baby bump to a coolie serving Jiumengzi. With a groan, he helped the two puddles of mud, which was not enough to drink, into a taxi and sent them back to the base. The drunk suggested staying overnight, pushed open the gate of the base, and bit the bullet and slipped into Shuofeng.

This Friday, the night life of feasting, feasting, pleasure and indulgence has just entered the topic, and the supply of online taxi-hailing vehicles is more or less in short supply in the area outside the central business circle—the taxi driver who just promised to wait for Shao Jie for a few minutes turned around In a short time, he took a big order with a red envelope, and drove away without looking back, leaving only a cloud of choking exhaust.

When Shao Jie walked to the side of the road, he saw the taillights of the car disappear into the night with a "swoosh".

He stood there dumbfounded for a long time, shivered and wrapped tightly the coat swollen by the cold wind, sniffed, took out his mobile phone and placed an order for a car again, looked around for a moment in a mess, dangling about to be caught by the wind With arms and legs blown into pieces, he rushed to the 24-hour convenience store.

With all his might, Shao Jie pulled open the glass door of the convenience store, which had been hardened by the wind, and squeezed in sideways. With his head drooping, he stood on top of his numb head after being blown by the heating and air-conditioning doorway for a while, and then raised his eyes. , glanced over the small shelf on the cashier counter, was stunned for a moment, subconsciously shifted his gaze a little, and landed on the side of the shelf.

...It's Jiang Mo.

Jiang Mo was not wearing a police uniform, and his overcoat hung on his thin shoulders. He was shrouded in a haze of exhaustion, and his brows were slightly frowned.

She tucked her shoulders slightly, leaned sideways on the countertop, half-closed her eyelids sleepily, and stared sleepily at the whirring microwave oven behind the convenience store boy.

When Shao Jie saw her, he felt his heart being scratched. He felt a little dazed, and stood there without moving for a long time.

On the day the lunch box was knocked over, Jiang Mo actually didn't give him a chance to treat him to dinner.Shao Jie felt a little sorry for the fact that Jiang Mo made a special trip to return the wallet and instead bought a boxed lunch, but Police Officer Jiang got angry for a while and gave up, and when he was about to refuse, he received a call from the police to inform him of the ticket Changed the ticket and set off ahead of schedule, but in the end, Shao Jie tactfully said "Forget it, another day, thank you" under Shao Jie's stubborn invitation.

Unexpectedly, this "another day" is a unilateral loss of contact for several days.Shao Jie was concerned about the imminent danger of police officer Jiang when he was performing his mission, and he was trembling even when he sent an application to add friends on WeChat. It wasn't until this morning that he accidentally saw a blurry figure in the corner of the news map, he was relieved, and sent a message cautiously Ask the police comrades if they are safe.

However, Shao Jie waited eagerly for a whole day, but he didn't even see half a reply in a few words.

Didn't expect to meet you here.Shao Jie swallowed, took a step forward with uncoordinated hands and feet, and leaned towards Jiang Mo stiffly, blinking his eyes to meet the gaze that Police Officer Jiang turned his head around.

"Officer Jiang?"

Jiang Mo was terribly sleepy, and his nerves tightened suddenly due to the shaking of the telephone pole that Hu Baji was moving towards her.She slightly raised her head against the dazzling projection light above the cashier counter, squinted her sleepy eyes slightly to see clearly, and was startled and hungry so her temples jumped suddenly, hypoglycemia "噗" He raised his head to the ground, staring at his eyes, and his head reacted slowly for a long time.

"...Scared me...how did you run here—ah yes...your unit is next to you."

Shao Jie didn't realize that he was an unlucky walker to Jiang Mo at all, so he grinned stupidly and stepped forward: "Officer Jiang? Why are you here to eat again? Is there a case?"

"Ancestors who don't have cases, let's say something auspicious——I just got off work when I came back from a business trip..."

Jiang Mo glanced at Shao Jie resentfully and sadly, bit his handy chopsticks to take over the hot fast food box lunch, took half a step away from the unlucky boy, then shook his head as if giving up resistance, raised his chin Pointing to the compound of the community directly opposite the convenience store: "I didn't say that before... I live opposite."
