A few days later,
Even after these few days of contact..,
Liu Xiaojiang increasingly felt that Liu Yanyan was very important to him. However, considering the situation with Er Zhuang and himself, he still bid farewell to the girl who was reluctant to part with him and took a plane back to the company's branch in the northeast region.
However..,
As soon as he got off the plane and walked out of the airport, he noticed that there were inexplicable gazes staring at him. It was not difficult to guess that these people should be mutants and were also here for the so-called eight strange skills. However, he did not expect that he would only return to Lianmen Harbor now.
However, it was currently the most crowded working hours in Lianmen Harbor,
Even if Liu Xiaojiang wanted to capture these guys and interrogate them about which big shot had sent them as cannon fodder, he had to consider the impact of this kind of thing on ordinary people. No matter what, he could not take the initiative to make trouble on the streets.
He could not make a move in front of ordinary people..
This meant that he had to find a place that was relatively uninhabited and suitable for making a move. Although Lianmen Harbor was not considered a first-tier city, it could barely be considered a first-tier city. How could it be so easy to find a deserted area during working hours?
At the same time..,
These guys in charge of following Liu Xiaojiang did not seem to be hotheads. When they saw Liu Xiaojiang wandering around the street alone, not only did they quickly realize Liu Xiaojiang's intentions, they even took the initiative to distance themselves from Liu Xiaojiang. It was obvious that they did not want to give Liu Xiaojiang a chance to make a move.
"Tsk, these annoying guys..."
Liu Xiaojiang noticed that these guys had deliberately blended into the crowd and did not intend to make a move. He could not help but slowly frown and temporarily give up on the idea of making a move. He planned to call a car to send him back to the company's branch first.
At this moment..,
Buzz buzz buzz..
Liu Xiaojiang noticed the vibration of the phone in his pocket. He immediately reached out to take out the phone and lowered his head to look at the words on the screen.
[Brother Xiao Jiang, turn left at the alley 100 meters ahead. Old Liu and the others will help you take care of the tail. Come to me first... I have bad news for you.]
"Bad news?" Liu Xiaojiang was slightly stunned.
[Yes, it's about Chen Duo. You've been participating in the Luo Tian's Grand Ritual, and then you're dealing with the whole sex thing. I wanted to tell you a few days ago, but I couldn't find a chance to tell you because you were dating a girl.]
"Anyway …"
[This matter can't be rushed for the time being. Chen Duo is currently hiding in a relatively safe place. The old man went to the headquarters for a meeting … It should be because the higher-ups are planning to make a move on Chen Duo.]
"Okay, I'll go back now. We'll talk about it when I get back."
When Liu Xiaojiang found out it was about Chen Duo, the image of a little boy he once saw flashed through his mind. The warmth in his heart because of Liu Yanyan instantly disappeared and was replaced by a strong sense of disgust towards the company's higher-ups.
Subsequently,
Liu Xiaojiang put his phone back into his pocket and walked forward quietly. It was not until he saw the 'plainclothes' Old Liu at the entrance of the alley that he suppressed the emotions in his heart and cooperated with Old Liu to capture the mutants who were following him.
…
After a long time,
Liu Xiaojiang handed over the mutants who were following him to Old Liu and the others to bring back to the company. He carefully avoided everyone's eyes and ears and went to the underground research institute where Er Zhuang's body was. He sent away all the surrounding staff.
He silently looked around the room,
As usual, he sat near the treatment cabin that Er Zhuang relied on to survive and said, "Er Zhuang, what exactly happened to Chen Duo?"
"Brother Xiao Jiang, after the incident with Wu Xiangyou, I did as you said … from time to time, I paid attention to Chen Duo. In the end, just as the Luo Tian's Grand Ritual was about to end, she personally killed Liao Zhong, the person in charge of the South China region. She is suspected to have defected from the company's supervision."
Er Zhuang's voice came through the indoor loudspeaker. His tone was relatively calm as he recounted the incident.
Hearing this,
Liu Xiaojiang frowned and pondered for a moment, he said, "Why? Why did Chen Duo kill Liao Zhong? According to the confidential document, the person she would never kill … should be Liao Zhong from the South China region, right? "
"I think so too," Er Zhuang said doubtfully.
"But no matter how I investigated the incident, even if I took the risk to get the recording, I only felt that the situation at that time was a little strange. Chen Duo didn't sound like she wanted to kill Liao Zhong at all, and Liao Zhong … seemed to have the chance to kill Chen Duo before she escaped."
"In the end …"
"Chen Duo didn't want to kill Liao Zhong. Liao Zhong died. Liao Zhong had the chance to kill Chen Duo, but he let Chen Duo kill him … and escape."
"A recording of the scene?" Liu Xiaojiang thought about the strange situation that Er Zhuang mentioned. "Play the recording for me first."
"Okay."
Er Zhuang immediately agreed to Liu Xiaojiang's request. A middle-aged man's voice that sounded very straight came through the loudspeaker in the room.
— —
"Chen Duo! How are you? Did those people make things difficult for you? "
"No …"
…
— —
Liu Xiaojiang listened to the entire recording that Er Zhuang had obtained in silence. He roughly knew how Chen Duo killed Liao Zhong back then. He immediately fell into deeper doubt and confusion. He had no idea what was going on between Liao Zhong and Chen Duo.
But..,
Through this recording..,
He at least figured out one thing, and that was that Liao Zhong felt that he had the means to kill Chen Duo. Chen Duo also knew that Liao Zhong could kill her directly, so she took the initiative to use voodoo to force Liao Zhong to make a choice, whether to let her go or kill her on the spot.
In the end..,
Even though Liao Zhong endured the great pain of the voodoo gradually eroding his body, he did not kill Chen Duo in order to survive. He just let the voodoo slowly kill him. He did not know if it was because of the voodoo, but he did not let Chen Duo leave in the end.
At this moment..,
Liu Xiaojiang recalled the detailed information that he had seen before and said thoughtfully,
"What is this? The pursuit of freedom? No … Liao Zhong was willing to let her become a temporary worker. He should be working hard to help her fight for freedom. Moreover, after so many years of nurturing, even if she has an abnormal past, she can understand everything in the world. "
"In the eyes of others, the Gu Body Holy Child is completely free … It is absolutely impossible. She is so smart … she must be able to understand the reason."
"Choice …"
"… freedom of choice? She made a choice, and then because of her relationship with Liao Zhong, she wanted him to agree with her choice? But … choice? Is it that simple? Is it that simple? Those in the past..
Tsk!
It looks like it should be … after all, this girl has never had the right to decide everything about herself. "
Because of Er Zhuang's existence..,
Liu Xiaojiang's understanding of Chen Duo's past was not much less than Liao Zhong's. Perhaps it was because he was standing from the perspective of a similarly abnormal person, it was easier for him to understand Chen Duo's thoughts of being controlled by others. Even if he could not understand … he still quickly grasped the main point of the matter.
At the same time..,
He felt that a good person like Liao Zhong, it seemed that his death was not worth it..
