The sky is the color of lead green, and hazy water vapor covers the city.

The rain hit the car window with crackling sounds. Xia Yi looked at the pedestrians running away from the rain, the couple snuggling in the rain, the city scenery rushed back outside the car window, and in her eyes, she didn't know what kind of emotions it contained.

A police officer in the co-pilot only knew the relationship between the two and was much more polite in his attitude.

"Captain Fang is the most fair. Don't worry. When the forensic doctor issues an examination report, it has nothing to do with you. You will be rewarded with white hair. The police will not wrongly accuse anyone of them."

The two in the car remained silent. Seeing that no one responded, he sat down again after asking for boredom.

After a moment, Xia Yi, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

"Before going to the police station, can you... go to Luoxiang Street first?"

The police officer in the co-pilot turned his head and said, "Do you want to get the clothes you have changed?"

"No... I want to see someone." Xia Yi looked at the rainy line outside the window, and the Adam's apple rolled with a little soreness, "... I always say goodbye to her... or don't say goodbye."

The speeding police car suddenly stumbled in the direction, and with a squeak in the rain, water splashed everywhere, and then stopped on the side of the road.

Fang Zhi pressed the brakes, held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his eyes covered with blood, his cheeks swollen and tense, and watched the wiper shaking one after another, for a while, the sound was squeezed out from the clenched teeth.

"Xiao Yi... I'll ask you if you killed the man in Zhenxingwuguan alley. I'll answer me honestly."

Xia Yi withdrew her gaze from outside the car window, looked at the slightly trembling back of her shoulders in front, and was silent for a moment: "Yes."

"ah--"

Fang Zhi punched the steering wheel with a sudden punch, and the sound of the car's horn suddenly rang on the side of the road, scaring passers-by to avoid it from afar. The police officer in the co-pilot looked at the angry face and whispered: "Class...Class...Don't be angry, just take him back and confess the matter, and you can also strive for leniency."

The man holding his fist pressed against the steering wheel did not answer him, but just shook his head and suppressed his emotions.

"......I'm sorry for your sister...I took her brother away twice. I told you before... Why don't you go on the right path? Do you know if you kill someone?! Isn't it good to be clean? What do you want me to do..."

Fang Zhi gritted his teeth and finally shouted in depression: "......I am your brother-in-law... but I am also a policeman! How can I let you go! Let a murderer go!"

"The person in the alley has a gun... He attacked me. I don't know who he is. If it were you, Captain Fang, what would you do?" Xia Yi looked at the man with red eyes in the reflector and asked in a low voice.

Fang Zhi let go of the handbrake, started the car again, pursed his lips tightly, and said simply: "There is a misunderstanding here, I will negotiate." The front of the car turned violently and turned to the south of the city.

Not long after, the water was in the misty water, and the police car stopped at the street entrance. Looking from the window, you could see the sign of the "Youyu Grocery Store". The police officer in the car wanted to take him over.

Xia Yi stood in the rain and shook her head. In his vision, he could see the girl behind the rain curtain still standing behind the counter. A woman named Xu Qiuhua came out of the pharmacy in the rain and ran into the grocery store.

"I can't go over... Can you help me find a small piece of wood, just as big as a palm. That silly girl couldn't see it, so she could only touch it with her hands."

The policeman looked at Fang Zhi who had walked out with embarrassment, and the latter nodded: "Go and find one."

When the police officer left, Fang Zhi took out a cigarette and handed it over to him, lit it for him, and stood under the eaves of the closed shop together, looking at the grocery store that was leaving.

"She fell in love with you first, or did you fall in love with her."

"It's because she's blind... that's why she fell in love with me."

The eaves were weaved with rain curtains, and splashed water fell into Xia Yi's eyes and flowed out again. He smiled and said, "...... Her eyes are about to get better. Being a murderer like me will only ruin her... Do you know... This silly girl has a wish to fly into the blue sky and be a flight attendant... Haha... Become a flight attendant..."

Xia Yi took a deep breath and lowered her head, "...then it won't delay her. Are you right? When I come, I'm probably old, of course if I can still come out..."

Fang Zhi watched the rain curtain fall and smoked silently.

After a while, the policeman who went out ran back with water stains all over his body, and there was a small scissors in his hand and a small wooden piece he got from somewhere.

"Thanks…."

After Xia Yi took it, he squatted on the ground and carved a few words bit by bit. The policeman looked at it, turned his face away, and sighed in a low voice.

"I'll go and deliver it for you." Fang Zhi took the wood chip, threw the cigarette butt, and headed towards the grocery store there.

There were not many people going out on the streets in the sound of drizzling rain. Occasionally, one or two people saw figures wearing police uniforms, and they did not fear. The girl standing behind the counter heard the footsteps coming from the water and smiled on her face, "What do you need?"

The pudding at his feet blew at the visitor twice.

In the store, Xu Qiuhua was dragging away the water stains on the ground. When she heard the movement, she looked up and saw a policeman standing in the store. She quickly put down the mop and came up: "Are you... are you here to buy something, or are there something..."

Jiang Jiancheng poked his head out of the house, and when he saw the police badge, he was so scared that he shrank back.

At the door of the store, Fang Zhi looked at the girl's pretty face and kept smiling for a moment, sighed, and finally said it.

"It's about Xia Yi... He asked me... to tell a girl named Jiang Yu..." He paused, and the last sentence was a bit difficult, "...Don't wait for him."

Xiaoyu thought about it and laughed again: "Brother Yi will not come back tonight?"

She pinched the corner of her simple clothes, lowered her head, groped at the counter, took a rag in the corner, wiped the glass cabinet with a trembling hand, and said with a smile: "It's good if I don't come back, I still have a lot of things to be busy with... Brother Yi won, and I must go out to celebrate with Brother Fat Tiger. Maybe I have made many friends. He is so powerful... Always... There will always be social engagements... Auntie... Don't you think so?"

The girl was trembling when she spoke.

Xu Qiuhua next to her did not point out the identity of the policeman, so she naturally could see that Xia Yi should have committed a crime. She said worriedly: "…Xiao Yu." Fang Zhi also spoke directly.

"I won't come back in the future."

He reached out and placed the small piece of wood on the counter, "This is what he asked me to hand it over to you." After that, he turned around and left the grocery store.

Xiaoyu, holding a rag, stood still motionless. When Xu Qiuhua came to hold her hand, she broke away. Her hand quickly rubbed the glass cabinet. Finally, she touched the wooden piece, and her fingertips streaked across the handwriting engraved on it. Tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes and dripped on the counter.

Xu Qiuhua took a look, her eyes were also a little wet and red, and she turned her body away.

There is only a short line of words on the wood chip.

May you fly into the blue sky.

Don't worry.

"Brother Yi——"

Xiaoyu rushed out with a wooden piece, running quickly on the street with his feet unstable feet, tripped in the potholes, rain splashed on her face, and shouted heart-wrenchingly in the direction where the footsteps were gone before, "—— Come back!!"

Pudding ran quickly past her and chased towards the police car that was driving away from afar.

...

When the girl was vaguely heard, Xia Yi just closed her eyes and did not look back.

"I can tell that it was a good girl." Fang Zhi said in a heavy mood.

"Um."

"It is right for you to leave her alone. Let's not talk about the murder before. I can feel that the dead man in the guild hall is a bit strange. You are framed by someone else's way. I understand this routine more than you."

"Yeah." Xia Yi responded simply in the back seat.

The police car drove onto the road to the center of the city. Heavy rain became denser, and the passing vehicles gradually became fewer, and the view of the front window became unclear. Just as the wiper was buzzing and shaking quickly.

There was a sound in the back seat.

"...Captain Fang feels that sometimes some people in this society treat others too unfriendly. Everyone is trying to live better. If they want to live better, they will end up miserably because they block others' path."

The handcuffs made a slight sound, and the sharp end of the scissors slowly inserted into the keyhole.

"After I was released from prison, I always wanted to be a good person. It doesn't matter if I was told behind my back. Anyway, if I did something wrong, I just thought it was a punishment. But this time... I want to be crazy and don't want to be timid cowards anymore."

Fang Zhi was driving with his eyelids twitching. He raised his head to look at the rearview mirror. He met a pair of eyes that seemed to have stripped off his feelings. The whites of his eyes were intertwined and bloodshot and extended into his pupils. He shouted: "What do you want to do--"

In an instant, the co-pilot's policeman turned his head and was directly knocked out by the stretched fist.

A pair of handcuffs also cobbled Fang Zhi's wrist at the same time, and the other end was hung on the steering wheel. Xia Yi grabbed the plate and pulled it violently. The police car driving on the road deflected, left the road, and ran towards the green belt on the side of the road.

It was a 'boom' sound.

The police car was thrown high, with broken bricks, and the soil fell to the ground again, and it slid out a long mark. The slightly opened car door was opened by one foot in the next second.

"Don't do stupid things..."

Fang Zhi lay in the car with some confusion. In his blurry vision, he saw a figure holding a gun in his hand and standing in the rain. He exhaled softly.

Xia Yi looked over with her face, put her fingers between her lips and snorted.

"Sleep well and watch the news tomorrow."

************

The rain drifted across the sky, and went far north of the city. Dongfang Xu, who temporarily settled in the police station, finally got the test form. The blood sample comparison report was reported, and he finally saw a name at the end.

"Xia Yi..." He pronounced this name gently.

A commuter team member who submitted the report continued: "From the information, this person was imprisoned for intentional injury and was released a few months ago. And... he also has an in-law relationship with Captain Fang of the police station."

"Call someone to gather and call Fang Zhi to ask where it is!" Dongfang Xu walked out while checking the information. "In addition, I need to cooperate with the members of the z9 who came here. I also found Xia Yi's phone number and tracked it."

Walking out of the corridor, a woman in tight red clothes and blue hair dyed in the main hall followed closely. The two shook hands, shared the information, and then opened the car door, Dongfang Xu and the woman sat on it.

"--Set off!"
Chapter completed!
