Chapter 68: The Vision

Qixia immediately took out a lighter from his pocket, which was lent to him by "Xiaoxiao".

He lit the lighter and reached for it.

Officer Li froze, then covered the flames with his left hand covered in blood, and then put his head over to light the cigarette.

A moment later, he patted Qixia's hand.

"Whew --"

A thick puff of smoke exhaled, and Officer Li looked more relaxed.

"Comfortable." Officer Li smiled, "I'm not afraid to die now."

"What did you want to tell me?" Qixia sat down opposite Officer Li and looked at him with a little seriousness.

Instead of answering, Officer Li asked, "How did Qixia, Tian Tian and Qiao Jiajin die?"

"Killed." Qixia answered without hesitation, "Yesterday after noon, was beaten to death by the owner of this lighter."

Then he pushed the lighter forward and shoved it into Officer Li's hand.

Officer Li looked down at the green plastic lighter with a lost look in his eyes.

"Is it..." He looked up and said to Qixia, "When that man killed Qiaojia strong and sweet... Is there anything strange about it?"

"Strange place?"

Qixia touched his chin and sorted out his thoughts, saying "strange place" is too much, he simply organized the language, and told Officer Li what happened yesterday afternoon.

Including the woman's strange size, and the confusing poisoning.

Finally, Qixia added, "By the way, I heard the" bell "twice before and after the murder."

Officer Li raised the cigarette and took another wobbly gulp. "I was right in front of the giant screen when the bell rang," he said, exhaling the cloud of smoke.

'What?

"There was a huge bell ringing in my ears and I thought the whole world had exploded." "Do you know what it says on the screen?"

Qixia then realized that the screen would display text for no reason, and asked, "What does it say?"

"I hear echoes of 'blame it'." Officer Lee said one word at a time.

"Blame it?" Qixia mumbled thinking up, "Before was" disaster ", this is "blame"..."

Officer Li handed Qixia the only cigarette left in the carton. "Either?"

Qixia nodded, reached out and took the cigarette.

Officer Lee put a light on him with his left hand.

"I knew you smoked." With a cigarette in his mouth, Officer Li threw the lighter to Qixia, "The best time to smoke while thinking, isn't it?"

Qixia did not answer, after taking the lighter, product a mouthful of this some moldy cigarette.

Cigarettes get pungent after a long time, and this one is no exception.

"I haven't smoked in years." Qixia said.

"Yeah, quit smoking." Officer Li nodded, "Quitting smoking is good for your health..."

He paused, and the two men fell silent.

The two men slowly puffed smoke, like schoolmates who hid together in the toilet to smoke.

"And the second bell?" Qixia asked, "Are there any new words on the screen?"

"No." Officer Li shook his head with a cigarette in his mouth. "The second time the bell rang, the line disappeared."

Qixia thoughtfully stared at the cigarette in his hand, feeling things are still a little strange.

"What does that even mean?" Qixia asked. "That bell is not a death knell at all, but some other kind of warning."

"That's for you to think about." "I'm just telling you what I've seen. You have a better chance of surviving here than I do," said Officer Li, leaning against the wall and puffing on his last cigarette.

'Why? Qixia asked unwillingly, "Why can't you live here?"

"Because I'm a cop." Officer Li smiled and held up his broken right arm, "This hand was lost to save lawyer Zhang." I could have left her alone, but I couldn't just let her die. But you're different... Qixia, you have no baggage."

Qixia seemed to understand what Officer Li meant.

This man wanted to save everyone from the beginning.

His principles have never changed.

That principle will kill him here.

Qixia nodded with a heavy face and asked, "You didn't leave me alone to tell me these things, did you?"

"Yes..." "Qixia, I have a secret in my heart that I haven't told anyone yet. I don't want to die with this secret, so I want to tell it before I die."

"Then why me?" Qixia puzzled asked, "You can clearly tell the lawyer Zhang."

"Because you are as much a liar as he is..." Officer Li smiled wryly and shook his head, "Although you are not the same at all, but if you think about it, this seems to be the arrangement in the dark."

After hearing this, Qixia raised the cigarette and took a deep breath, then said: "You speak, I will listen."

Police Officer Li looked ahead with blank eyes and slowly told his "real" story.

For ten minutes, Qixia silently listened to him finish everything.

Qixia's eyes kept flashing, as if she had heard something completely unbelievable.

"Officer Lee... So you lied so much in the first game?" "He asked, his lips quivering slightly.

Qixia only felt that Officer Li was telling some strange, but did not expect him to actually use a big lie throughout.

"Yes." Lee s eyes turned red. "This is the biggest mistake I've ever made in my life."

"Just a 'mistake'? " Qixia frowned and stood up, before the respect for Officer Li also did not, "You are complicit with the liar, has been looking for ways to help him get away, but you lied to us that you were crouching... ? Even though I am not a good citizen, the one thing I despise most in my life is dirty police."

As Officer Li looked up, tears rolled down his face.

"Yeah, dirty cop..." Officer Li smiled wryly, "I was not surprised when I came here, because I felt that this was my 'trial'..."

"What..."

Qixia frowned and looked coldly at Officer Li.

"Maybe if I die here, it will be atonement..."

No sooner had Officer Li finished speaking than a loud bell sounded in the distance.

"Dang!!"

Qixia turned to look outside, her face was full of shock.

Why is the clock ringing again?

What words are written on the screen this time?

As if he had heard nothing, Officer Li reached out with a trembling hand, lifted the empty cigarette case from the ground, and then pulled out a cigarette from inside.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a metal lighter.

In Qixia's inscrutable gaze, Officer Li rekindled his cigarette and smiled with relief.

Then he slowly lowered his head and said, as if to himself: "Qixia, my death is atonement..."

Qixia leng Leng, looked at his mouth that clean cigarette, feel the situation is very strange.

"Hey... Li Shangwu, don't die yet..." Qixia rushed to Officer Li knelt down and found that he was not breathing.

He still had the cigarette in his mouth and an old ZIPPO lighter in his hand.
