Hidden accident

Chapter 27

27. His weaknesses and his beliefs

The typhoon passed by, the road was buried by tree branches, and the red bricks and tiles were scattered all over the streets and alleys. The wind gradually weakened, and the sunshine and rainstorm seamlessly connected.

Pingning Port is such a small county with a negative living comfort. There is no boundary between four seasons, and it is humid, cloudy and sunny.

There are many typhoons every year, the noise of the pier is covered in daily life day and night, and the abrupt high-rise construction site tries to create prosperity and reverse the rhythm of the town.

On the first day Liu Jun arrived here, he wanted to end his work as soon as possible and leave as soon as possible.

Although he also lived in the south before, he was very uncomfortable with the climate and diet of Pinning Harbor.

Before coming here, I booked a hotel room for three months. With the investigation of the case, the two newly discovered corpses were further linked to the criminal characteristics of the suspect. close.

In order to promote the suspect's arrest, Liu Jun even risked himself and pretended to be the target of the suspect.

A person who has been repeatedly frustrated in life, cowardly and gloomy, unable to change his life situation, killing has become his way of satisfying himself.

Murder, no, not murder...

In Cheng Guosheng's eyes, he is not an executioner, but a savior. He is not killing people, but liberating others.

Liu Jun is not very good at acting in front of Cheng Guosheng deliberately, relying on the background of Qiu Wei and Jiang Lai's behind the scenes.

The subconscious mind that people see each other is easily influenced by words.

Liu Jun is not the kind of person who is good at extroverting emotions, silently, quietly, and then smoking a cigarette, wandering in front of Cheng Guosheng several times, successfully portraying a frustrated person.

The plan should be going well, Liu Jun braved the wind and rain to find Cheng Guosheng, and asked Cheng Guosheng to drive him to a neighboring town.

Tell Cheng Guosheng that when he heard the news of the mudslide over there, he wanted to go and confirm it himself.

The neighboring town is a tea town. Liu Jun revealed to Cheng Guosheng several times before that the tourism development project considers combining the tea-picking experience in the mountains with the coast around the island of Pingning Harbor and returning to the theme of nature.

However, after the typhoon, the climate has decided that the surrounding area of ​​Pingning Port is not a suitable place for travel, and it also indirectly declares that Liu Jun's work project on this trip may come to naught.

Liu Jun didn't show a very depressed look, but he couldn't stop smoking when he got in the car.

He wore earphones and a locator on his body, and while he was on the phone with Qiu Wei, Xiao Chen asked a few colleagues to drive nearby.

The rainy day is also the connection point of all the victims they found, so it is agreed that the day after the typhoon is the best time.

Everything is ready.

Perhaps, it was Ji Fanyun who made the plan out of control.

When he woke up early in the morning, there was another person beside him, or earlier, when he came to Pingning Harbor and met Ji Fanyun under the eaves of the heavy rain.

All the plans jumped out of control, because Liu Jun has a weakness since then.

Waking up early in the morning and waiting by the bed for a long time, because I couldn't bear to wake Ji Fanyun up, so the words "wait for me at the hotel, don't go out" were left in the text message sending failure.

Liu Jun kept thinking about going to a place with a good signal to confirm whether the text message was sent successfully, but he ignored that he should not carry his mobile phone with him.

Xiao Chen and the others followed behind, Jiang Lai drove another car and Qiu Wei stayed at the hotel.

Liu Jun was in Cheng Guosheng's car, and the two of them did not talk to each other all the way to the neighboring town. The weather was sunny and cloudy, and it took a long detour to confirm that there was no landslide or mudslide accident.

The return route was different. Liu Jun had already noticed it but didn't point it out. He was smoking in the back seat. The small enclosed space was filled with smoke, and the glass windows were covered with raindrops.

Cheng Guosheng turned around and asked several times, "Is Mr. Liu's project not going well?" Liu did not answer him.

Liu Jun was more concerned about what Qiu Wei told Ji Fanyun on the set in the earphones.

Before Liu Jun left the hotel, he specifically told Qiu Wei to follow Ji Fanyun, just in case he failed to control Cheng Guosheng.

But just in case, there is always a one in ten thousand unexpected.

Liu Jun put his own safety in the hands of Xiao Chen and Jiang Lai, pretended to fall into Cheng Guosheng's trap unprepared, and smoked the replaced cigarettes.

When his consciousness gradually became blurred, Liu Jun turned off his earphones. Before the call ended, he heard Ji Fanyun's voice, which was a hearty laugh.

He was not completely unconscious from the beginning, knowing that the cigarette was replaced, so he tried to hold his breath as much as possible when he smoked, and he regained consciousness quickly after a short period of blurred consciousness.

When thrown into the water by Cheng Guosheng, he was aware of the surroundings, knew that there was a pre-installed pinhole camera on this road, and deliberately did not resist and cooperated with Cheng Guosheng to complete a perfect murder plan.

After being thrown into the water, his vision was darkened. Liu Jun's calmness did not start to panic until he found out that the phone was not with him.

He has absolute trust in his partner, but he can't keep calm on the probability that "Ji Fanyun might encounter an accident".

He was at a loss. When Liu Jun found out that his phone was gone, he tried to swim back and forth in the pipeline, trying to find another exit. When he heard a "plop" and swam back for a few seconds, his sense of helplessness almost defeated his sanity.

"Breathe, Xiao Ji, exhale, exhale, Ji Fanyun..."

Unexpected things, Liu Jun did not expect Ji Fanyun to fall into this trap.

"Exhale..."

Liu Jun propped his feet against the walls on both sides, supporting Ji Fanyun's body so that his face could emerge from the water.

Ji Fanyun kept falling, his eyes were loose, Liu Jun clenched his chin, shouted "exhale" and "breath" many times, and gave him artificial respiration.

The sound of the rain hitting the reinforced iron pipe was amplified and transmitted to the hidden ditch underground. The water kept rising, and the air on the surface of the water was almost exhausted.

The veins on Liu Jun's neck and arms swelled, and his face was pale. It wasn't until Ji Fanyun regained a sliver of consciousness that he let go of his tense heart.

After Ji Fanyun regained consciousness, he began to pant heavily. Liu Jun patted his straps to adjust his breathing. After gradually calming down, Ji Fanyun seemed to be still confirming. He looked straight at Liu Jun and said for a while, "I have no life. Not going well."

The first sentence Ji Fanyun said was that he didn't care where he was, as if he could rest assured of his safety, but what he cared most about was: "Why am I his target? I don't...I'm fine..."

His voice was weak, trembling, and very anxious. Every time he opened his mouth, he would swallow water, and he couldn't speak clearly.

Liu Jun comforted him, repeated, "It's all right, it's all right," and added: "Now that the rain is getting heavier, let's find a way to get out first, and we'll talk about it after we get out."

As they spoke, the two looked at each other statically, even breathing slowly.

The small space made people uncomfortable, Liu Jun was not sure about Ji Fanyun's wishes, but close together, during the almost exhausted escape time, Liu Jun needed energy supplies.

He leaned close to his face, and kissed Ji Fanyun a very light kiss that he didn't dare to force.

Ji Fanyun didn't break free, maybe the environment didn't allow him to struggle, so Liu Jun grabbed Ji Fanyun's lips with nostalgia, occupying the thinner and thinner air extravagantly.

Afterwards, Liu Jun told Ji Fanyun the environment in a short story: "This is the sewer that has not been put into use at the construction site."

"Where are people..." Ji Fanyun couldn't make a long sentence, and asked word by word, "What about them...how do you..."

Liu Jun could probably understand what Ji Fanyun was going to ask, but the water was rising, so there was no way to explain. He protected Ji Fanyun's head with one hand, and lifted him up with the other hand.

Ji Fanyun's whole strength was hanging on Liu Jun before, but now he was overwhelmed, and began to struggle, and quickly let go of the hands tightly hugging Liu Jun, and pawed at the walls on both sides.

"How to get out." Ji Fanyun asked, "No one came to rescue us?"

"I lost my locator. They should have lost it. They won't be able to find it so soon." Liu Jun said while still worrying about Ji Fanyun, fearing that he would fall.

Ji Fanyun probably couldn't give up his competitive spirit even if life and death were at stake, so he insisted on not letting him be helped, saying, "I'm very out of breath."

Liu Jun let go of Ji Fanyun, smiled at him, the love between life and death still couldn't help rushing into his heart, he said: "Do it yourself."

Then he leaned forward and kissed Ji Fanyun's forehead.

The light penetrated through the cracks in the steel bars overhead, and the sound of the water was piercing. Liu Jun sank to the bottom of the water, groping for the exit in the path.

The place where they were trapped was a very long sewer pipe, which ran through the foundation of the unfinished building. The typhoon the night before knocked down the brick wall, many bricks blocked the water outlet, and the wellhead where the light could be seen overhead was also covered. superior.

One thing Liu Jun couldn't imagine was that in such an environment, Ji Fanyun was more fearless and detached than he thought.

When Liu Jun looked around in the water and returned to the surface, he saw Ji Fanyun trying to lift the steel bar on the top.

He swam over and pulled away Ji Fanyun's bleeding hand. The two of them lost their balance, embraced each other and sank into the water, struggling for a long time before returning to the surface.

Ji Fanyun gasped and said, "We won't...just die here."

Then he said very firmly: "It's too embarrassing, I don't allow myself to die in this way!"

"No." Liu Jun was also very firm, "Xiao Jiang and Xiao Qiu will find them."

Liu Jun told him that this place was one of the places they guessed in advance that Cheng Guosheng would use it to commit crimes. Even if there was no locator, others would know to find it.

Liu Jun didn't mention the premise that even if he found it, it would take a lot of time to open the steel bars pressing on the wellhead.

But Ji Fanyun didn't follow what he said, as if he was staying in the shadow of death, but he didn't feel much fear, and then asked: "If you are going to die, do you have any last words to tell me?"

"No." Liu Jun said, "I won't die, I have a lot to say."

Ji Fanyun was clearly displeased, he said, "Then do you want to hear my last words?"

"I don't want to." Liu Jun was very shameless, he didn't even put his eyes on Ji Fanyun's face, he looked up at the light gap on the top, and interrupted what Ji Fanyun was going to say, "Let's talk about it later. "

Ji Fanyun murmured: "If you pass this village, you won't be able to make up your mind..."

Liu Jun didn't listen carefully, he sank to the bottom of the water again, got into the depths of the pipe, and found a steel bar that was as long as an arm before swimming up.

Before saying anything, Ji Fanyun looked up and asked knowingly, "Can it be pried open?"

"Try it." Liu Jun took off his shirt, wrapped Ji Fanyun's palm with his clothes several times, then put the steel bar in Ji Fanyun's hand, picked Ji Fanyun up without any extra explanation.

"Tell me if you can't hold it." Ji Fanyun didn't ask any more questions, and started to pry it with his hands, and joked, "But we can't change positions, and I can't support you, you are too heavy."

The wellhead is covered with construction steel bars, and the top is piled up with bricks.

If Cheng Guosheng succeeds in the case this time, and if everything is not according to Liu Jun’s plan, then when the body is found in this well, there is a high probability that the conclusion of the case will be that he stumbled into the sewer, encountered heavy rain and the rotten wall collapsed. Unable to escape, he died unexpectedly.

Both Liu Jun and Ji Fanyun did not express their desire to survive, they were very calm and had a tacit understanding.

Every time Ji Fanyun used his strength to pry a few times, he would ask Liu Jun if he had choked on water and if he wanted to rest. After prying for a long time, there was a sound of bricks falling to the ground accompanied by the sound of rain. Proud to ask for praise.

Liu Jun said: "Very good, try again and it will be almost the same."

Ji Fanyun withdrew his gaze boredly, and exerted force again, the light and the heavy rain burst into his eyes at the same time.

Liu Jun hugged Ji Fanyun's feet and lifted him up, and said to him, "You go up first."

Holding Ji Fanyun to the outside of the well, Liu Jun heard that Ji Fanyun had no strength for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and he was still muttering: "The container is not in vain, my arm strength is still good, of course, your arm strength is unmatched. enemy."

Liu Jun didn't hear clearly, and choked up a lot of water. Finally, after confirming that Ji Fanyun had climbed up, he collapsed into the water.
