Chapter 707 Night Traveler of Unknown Origin
When the old man and the old lady of the Chao family were enjoying family happiness at home, the young and old of the He family also reunited at He San's residence. Everyone who was in the capital and could go home returned to their ancestors.
The conclusion of the Zhao family's case means that the evildoers have finally been brought to justice, which is enough to comfort the souls of the deceased.
The young and old of the He family gathered together and had to cry again. Ancestor He was the strongest. After crying, he wiped away his tears, had dinner with his children and grandchildren, held a family meeting after the meal, and went to bed at eleven o'clock. .
Yan Xing and his brothers spread the floor, and listened to the deep and shallow breathing of the brothers as they fell asleep. His life of more than ten years has its ups and downs, grievances and hatreds, and the righteousness of life and death. It has all the plots that should be included in a novel. His life is enough to write a novel.
Looking back on my life experience, I feel even less sleepy. I can only stare at the air and listen to the screams of unknown insects. I can't help but feel a bit sad. Do those insects and birds know the suffering of the world?
Plants and trees do not speak, but insects and birds can sing. In fact, they all have their own language, but humans cannot understand it. They all think that flowers, plants, trees, fish, insects, birds and beasts do not understand the sorrows of the world.
Amid the chirping of insects that humans regard as ignorant of the sorrows of the world, the night gets darker little by little. Even the capital has gradually changed from the streets full of people at first to only neon lights shining in most places and only vehicles passing on the road. .
The night was getting darker by the minute, and at around 2 o'clock in the morning, there were fewer and fewer vehicles on the street. The Zhili Detention Center of the High People's Court was so quiet that not even a night owl could be found. The patrolling prison guard was holding a big wolf dog. After a round of patrol, he returned to the duty station.
Nine out of ten prisoners and suspects in the detention center were asleep, and Zhao Li was the one who was not asleep among the ten.
At the end of the first trial, Jia Ling, Zhao Li and others were dissatisfied with the verdict of the murder case and had stated that they wanted to appeal. The defense lawyers also followed the legal procedures and drafted documents at the request of the seven people. At that time, they submitted an appeal indictment to the Supreme Court.
Although the appeal was filed, the Supreme Court will have to verify and review the appeal after receiving it. Even if there is a second trial, the hearing will not be held for the time being. The Zhao family and Jia Ling were sent back to the detention center from the court's temporary prison. The women of the Zhao family are still detained together. Yi Xiong and Zhao Zongze shared a room, Zhao Li lived in a separate room, and Jia Ling also lived in a separate room.
After returning to the detention center from the court, whether it was the Zhao family's six generations or Jia Ling, they were still immersed in the huge shock of the death penalty and life imprisonment. Their souls were uneasy and their souls were unstable. They were all devastated. They were taken to the prison cell. Women often Ghosts cried and wolves howled, and Zhao Zongze collapsed again and again.
The torment of fright and fear made Zhao Yixiong, Zhao Zongze, Guo Furong, Zhao Danxuan, and Mrs. Zhao very tired. They were in so much pain that they screamed in agony. They were so tormented that they couldn't resist their tiredness and fell asleep one after another in the early morning.
When Zhao Li returned to the detention center, he didn't eat or drink, didn't make any noise, or howl. He just sat there, his mind in a state of confusion. The past events passed through his mind one by one. In the end, he sat down and became a statue again, slumped and powerless. .
When it was time to sleep at night, in order to prevent the correctional officers from seeing him on the camera for not cooperating and entering the dormitory to lecture him, he also followed his sleeping schedule. He lay down, lay there for a long time, then got up and sat up, staring at the dark air in a daze.
It was not just him who was awake, but also Jia Ling. Jia Ling was lying on the bed in the prison cell, tossing and turning, not sleepy at all.
The darker the night, the quieter the surroundings, and the more obvious the sounds of sleeping or snoring in the detention center.
At three o'clock in the morning, it is the time when people are sleeping deeply, and even the chirping of insects is less. But at this quiet moment, the watchman came out of a hole and saw two black shadows, flying away like ghosts to surround them. The detention center surrounded them from different directions. Every time they reached a secret corner, they would light an incense stick and stick it on the ground or in the soil, or put it in the cracks of stone slabs, bricks or wooden boards.
The two black figures soon met at the most remote wall of the detention center and melted into the darkness. The few incense sticks hidden in remote corners shone like fireflies in the darkness, exuding an elegant fragrance.
The hidden incense is burned little by little, and the gray-white smoke is floating in the air. The aroma spreads and spreads, from a few feet to a few feet, covering hundreds of meters and kilometers in the blink of an eye. People or pets near and far can smell the fragrance and fall asleep. It was deeper, and those who were not asleep quickly fell asleep.
In the detention center, the prison guard on duty and the big wolf dog also fell asleep unconsciously, and soon they couldn't hold on any longer. They fell down and dozed off while sitting.
Soon, it was so quiet for miles around that the only sound was the breathing of sleeping people or animals.
At this quiet moment, two black figures walked out of the darkness outside the most remote courtyard wall of the detention center. After walking outside the high wall, a black figure stabbed the ground diagonally with two bamboo poles and jumped up. Jump high like a pole vault.
The other quickly hugged a bamboo pole and held it firmly to keep it upright; the black figure rising up from the pole grasped the bamboo pole with one hand and placed it on the tip of the other bamboo pole. Then he flew a few meters into the air, light and He climbed over the barbed wire on the high wall and entered the detention center, dropped a few meters, held the bamboo pole upright on the ground in his hand, then slid down the bamboo, placed the bamboo pole against the wall, and lit up a faint flashlight on the person holding the bamboo pole outside the wall
. The black shadow heard a slight signal from the person who climbed over the wall. He tilted the bamboo pole and stood up. When he was in the air, he gently brought the bamboo pole towards the high wall. The person climbed over the high wall upside down. Falling down, he landed lightly on the place illuminated by his companions.
When the person fell, the bamboo pole outside the wall also leaned lightly on the high wall. Because there were iron wires on the high wall, they were caught by the grid and did not slip or fall.
The two dark figures who climbed over the wall and entered the detention center quickly walked towards the prison building and soon found the duty room. The dark figures were also exposed to the light. They were wearing night clothes, each carrying a bag, and both wore gloves. Wearing a hood, a thin layer of gauze covers the eyes. Even if exposed to the light, not even the eyes are exposed, only the approximate height can be seen.
The two black figures easily opened the door through the open window of the duty room, entered the duty room, turned off the power of the surveillance system, found several large bunches of keys, and opened the thick prison record book for a while, then opened the door for the staff to enter the prison. He entered the prison area through a special door, not shying away from the light. He opened the iron gate to a prison building and went straight to the prison building.
The two men in night clothes walked along the long corridor to the outside of a prison cell. They found a key and easily opened the cell door, closed the door and turned on the light.
In the prison cell, a female prisoner was sleeping deeply facing the wall, and her prison uniform was particularly conspicuous.
The pedestrians took a quick look at the prison building. One person moved to the bottom where the camera was installed. The other took out a piece of black cloth from his bag, jumped up, stood on his companion's shoulder, covered the camera with the black cloth, and turned the camera in another direction. Let it shine against the wall, and then jump to the ground lightly.
After covering the camera, the two walked to the bed in the prison cell. One person lifted the female prisoner on the bed and placed her against the wall so that she could sit with her back against the wall. The other person took out a small bottle, opened it, and pushed the female prisoner away. He opened his mouth, poured the water from the bottle into the female prisoner's mouth, and took out a small bottle containing spices, opened it and put it under her nose to smell it.
After the unconscious female prisoner smelled the aroma for a while, the muscles on her face moved. When she saw that the woman was regaining consciousness, a man in black went out silently and looked outside.
The unconscious female prisoner's nose was filled with spices, and the signs of awakening became more and more obvious. Soon her hands and feet began to move, as if her posture was uncomfortable. She moved a few times, and after several minutes, she finally opened her eyes in a daze.
When she opened her eyes, she rolled her eyes several times and her eyes were hazy until she raised her head and came face to face with a man in night clothes. Her pupils suddenly dilated and she screamed in horror: "Ah-" Suddenly frightened, Jia Ling
asked He retreated, but there was nowhere to retreat. He was so scared that he hugged himself into a ball and trembled.
The night traveler who was holding the medicine bottle put away the bottle and grabbed the woman's chin with one hand: "Jia Ling?" The
night traveler's voice was dull and cold, like ice particles that stung the ears. When Jia Ling heard the sound, her back I had a chill, and was forced to face a man wearing a hood who looked like a terrorist. His teeth chattered: "You...who are you?" "
You are not qualified to know who I am. You just need to understand that I want you to die. You must do it right away." I want you to live, I can get you out without any effort, I ask you a few questions, if you don’t answer truthfully, you won’t be able to see the rising sun, if you answer well, I am satisfied, and I will not let you go to jail. , do you understand? Don't even think about shouting, no one will come to save you even if you shout until your throat is broken." The ice-cold voice of the night traveler was even colder, colder than the north wind.
Jia Ling's heart contracted, her jaw hurt as if her bones were being crushed, and she was so frightened that she couldn't even control her tongue: "I understand... I understand."
"I like obedient people," Ye Xingren released his grip on the woman's chin and calmly sat across from her: "Jia Ling, is your father Jia Tiewu?" The terrifying
man in black sat down opposite, Jia Ling Ling didn't even dare to look away and answered tremblingly: "Yes... yes." "
Did your father ever tell you that he saved a person when he was twenty-eight?"
Jia Ling shook her head: "No... ...No, I have never heard my father say that he has saved anyone."
Ye Xingren changed the subject and said, "You know pharmacology and can prepare medicines. Who did you learn it from?"
When she heard the word pharmacology, Jia Ling was so frightened that she felt like chaff. Staring at the man in black in horror, his lips trembled and he was speechless.
"Answer me honestly. If I dare to say a word of panic, I will crush your throat." The woman did not answer the question. The night traveler stretched out his hand, grabbed the woman's throat, and used a little force to lift the woman up.
Her throat was locked, and Jia Ling could hardly breathe. She instinctively used both hands to break the big hand of the man in black. The hand was like an iron hoop and could not be moved no matter what. She soon couldn't breathe, and her feet were Stomping around on the ground.
Seeing the woman's pale face turned blue, Ye Xingren put the woman down and let go of her hand.
The hand that was strangling her neck was loosened. Jia Ling covered her neck with both hands and gasped for air. After several breaths, the suffocation feeling became lighter. As if she had seen a demon, she curled up in fear and shivered all over.
The night traveler showed no pity and asked coldly: "Let me ask you again, from whom did you learn pharmacology and where did you get the prescription?"
Jia Ling saw the man in black leaning forward and was frightened. Backing up, leaning against the wall, his tongue was tied in horror: "From a book... I saw..." The
night traveler continued to ask: "What book? Whose is that book?"
"Ugh, "Jia Ling almost cried: "It's... the book my dad put in the box. I don't remember the name. I saw it accidentally." "Where is
that book now?"
Facing the man in black, Jia Ling didn't even have room to think about the lie, and answered honestly: "I wanted to read the book my father hid, but my father wouldn't give it to me, so I took a peek while my father was not at home. Later, my father I found out and locked the book. Later, when my father was ill, he... burned the book." "
It seems you don't want to live anymore," Night Traveler said with a gloomy sneer that was colder than ice: "You only peeked a few times. , after so many years, do you still remember certain prescriptions? This kind of lies is almost enough to coax a three-year-old child." "
I didn't lie," Jia Ling screamed in horror when she saw the man in black reaching out his hand: "I was secretly peeking. I copied some of it, my father doesn’t know..."
"Where is the manuscript you copied?" The night traveler's hand stopped one centimeter away from the woman's throat.
"The copied things were also burned. They were only burned last year. Last year... the Zhao family wanted to send food to the He family, so I added some ingredients. Later, the old... wife of the He family suddenly recovered. I heard that she was killed by a very powerful person. I was afraid of being exposed, so I secretly burned the things I copied. I also wanted to destroy the remaining medicine, but I was unwilling to do so, so I hid it temporarily..." "Burn?" Ye Xingren pointed his hand at the woman
. His throat was approaching, his hands touched the woman's skin, and he could crush her neck at any time.
The man in black stretched out his hand and put it against his neck. In such a sultry season, the man's hand felt colder than ice. Jia Ling shivered and became more and more frightened: "It's really burning... I just copied it." I received more than a dozen prescriptions. Many of the words were in traditional Chinese and I couldn’t recognize them. I only found out later by secretly looking up the dictionary. It was something I had worked so hard to hide for so many years. It was also the only thought my father left for me. My father didn’t. When I died, all the things in the house were given to my brother and younger brother. I only had those things related to my father, and in the end I was forced to burn..."
Speaking of her dead father, tears that she had never dared to shed burst into her eyes and flowed down. .
The night traveler looked at the woman quietly. After a few seconds, his hand flashed like a ghost. He pointed at the woman's sleeping point and made her fall asleep. He pressed his hand on the top of the woman's head. In an instant, the woman felt like she was electrocuted. Trembling, his hands and feet were kicking and shaking, and saliva was pouring out of his mouth.
After a while, Jia Ling stopped shaking.
Night Walker let go of his hand and lifted Jia Ling up and put her back on the bed. When he turned around, the watchman entered the cell and stood under the camera. Night Walker jumped up and stepped on his companion's shoulder to take away the camera. Heimao returned the camera to its original position and flew to the ground.
The two of them left the prison cell one after another, locked the door, walked out of the corridor and locked the door again. They walked through the empty courtyard of the prison cell and returned to the duty room. They put the key back in its place without harming the prison guard and closed the door. leave.
The night walkers in black returned to the corner along the way they came, climbed over the wall one after another, and when the last one left, he also took the bamboo pole out of the detention center. When he got outside, he put out the burning incense and replaced it with another one, and then split up to exchange for several others. The fragrance of the place, the two people who reunited disappeared into the darkness without a trace.
