The police car drove out and quickly shuttled through Wanhu City, drawing a long line on the narrow street in the dark night.
Su Hui hung up Lu Junchi's phone, covered his mouth and coughed uncontrollably.
Qiao Ze, who was sitting in the co-pilot, looked back at him a little worriedly: "Mr. Su, the director has sent over the material they were looking for for the children to shoot before. Would you like to take a look?"
Su Hui nodded and stretched out his hand to take the tablet handed over by Qiao Ze.
There are many documents, some of which are about the living environment of Wanhu City, some are about the life of ordinary people here, and a special part is about the children here.
He opened a folder named after a child.
Su Hui supported his chin with his fingers, squinted his eyes and turned down, first seeing Kong Tao's.
He clicked on the video, the background of this interview video was the unfinished building, and the time was about dusk.
The camera swept over, and the unfinished building looked bigger than it looked at night, and so many windows were black, revealing a sense of desolation.
Kong Tao stood in the open space downstairs with a basketball, took a few shots, and then ran over to face the camera. There was no ball frame nearby, he simulated a shot, the basketball flew out of a beautiful parabola, and then fell to the ground.
The boy's movements are very smooth, and if there is a basket in front of him, he can enjoy the pleasure of scoring. But among the ruins, there was no cheer, no applause, only the echo of the basketball falling to the ground.
He gradually ran away in the fiery sunset and picked up the basketball in the past.
Then the teenager began to practice tirelessly again, and Su Hui dragged the video back for a short period.
The interview officially started. The sound of the video was a little low. Su Hui couldn't hear it clearly with one ear, so he could only turn up the sound a little bit.
"Are you born in Wanhu City?"
"Yes, I have lived here since I was a child."
"Did you enjoy your stay?"
"dislike."
"Then are you willing to live here?"
"What can we do if we are not reconciled? We are still underage and not enough to change all this."
"Your hobby is..."
"play basketball."
"Do you think your life is any different from other urban kids?"
"Of course it's very different. My family lives upstairs at the back of this house. When it rains, sometimes the rainwater will get into the house and make half the room wet. Every day after school, I need to go to the house. It is far away to pick up water and bring it up to the eighth floor. I once suggested to my family that this place is empty anyway, should we move to a lower place. But the family objected, they said that only the one originally belonged to us Yes. They only live in their own house."
"Do you want to improve your living environment?"
"That's natural. I hope the building here can be completed. Sometimes I can't think about why my home is different from other people's homes. But I also feel that I may not be able to eat, wear clothes, or study. The kids are much stronger, at least I'm in high school."
...
Su Hui watched the video quietly. The boy in front of him was tall. He had bright eyes. He spoke a little faster when he spoke, and he was a little shy when facing the camera.
"Do you have any wishes that you want to fulfill?"
"My wish is to be able to join the city basketball team, so that I can probably change my life. Although I am no longer on the school team, I will still train myself every day."
"Are you sure about it?"
The teenager was silent: "Then I'll change my wish. I hope to go to work during the summer vacation and buy a good pair of basketball shoes."
The camera moved down to the basketball shoes he was wearing. The edges of the shoes were cracked. In a regular game, he would fall when wearing such shoes. More importantly, such a pair of shoes will make him face the ridicule of his opponents.
Seeing this, Su Hui did not rush to open other videos: "Did you find a pair of sneakers at the scene of the first crime?"
Qiao Ze was at the scene before, and he still remembers it fresh: "Yes, it's a brand new pair of white sneakers. It shouldn't be cheap."
Su Hui closed his eyes, and the scene of Kong Tao's death appeared in his mind.
The raging fire was burning, trapping him in it, and he tried desperately to struggle, but he couldn't break free.
Those sneakers were the bait given to Kong Tao by the murderer. For those shoes, he cooperated with the performance and then gave his life.
Su Hui clicked on Mo Xiuxiu's interview video again. The **** the screen was wearing light makeup and wearing a beautiful dance suit with long water sleeves. She played a short piece of music on her mobile phone. A few dance moves were performed on the ground, and when the water sleeves were thrown, the long sleeves crossed the gray-blue sky.
Then, with a swish, a standard one-word horse came.
The girl's figure is graceful, her body is flexible, and there is a kind of spirituality in her dance.
Su Hui skipped the dance part, and then the interview started, and the questions were similar to the ones she asked Kong Tao before.
"Are you born in Wanhucheng?"
"yes."
"Did you enjoy your stay?"
"I don't like it, I don't think anyone will like it here." Mo Xiuxiu's face showed an expression, as if she was talking about the thing that bothered her the most. She tried her best to suppress her feelings, but she was still excited. up.
"We met some people in interviews who said they liked it here."
Mo Xiuxiu raised her head and pointed out mercilessly: "That's a lie, the children here sometimes tell lies, and that's one of the reasons we survive. People like to be rich and look good. , like delicious food, like big houses, like longevity. No one wants to be born to suffer. You adults, don’t you understand all this?”
"What is your hobby?"
"Dancing, I like dancing."
"What kind of dance is it?"
"Various, I'll practice with some videos."
"Do you have any wishes that you want to fulfill?"
"I hope to one day be a real heroine."
"Is it an advertisement or a video?"
"It's fine, it's fine for a documentary like this. It's fine as long as it attracts everyone's attention. I like to be in the center of the stage, and I think I'm still missing a chance..."
After watching the interviews of these two people, Su Hui clicked on a few other children's. He frowned and listened carefully, and said to Qiao Ze, "I think that based on the answers in these videos, some people are going to judge those children. screened. They were then seduced with their thoughts and desires.”
Qiao Ze asked: "Screening? So what are his screening principles?"
Su Hui lowered his head and thought for a moment. He was trying to approach the victims: "Screen out those children who are unwilling to their current situation and want to change their lives."
Then Su Hui rummaged again, and he finally saw Tao Yingxu's.
Su Hui was more curious about this person's psychology. If his and Lu Junchi's inferences were correct, he might be the initiator of this live broadcast.
Tao Yingxu is a very handsome and good-looking boy. Probably the school grass in people's perception is like this. The only thing that is not perfect is that he has a red birthmark on his forehead.
That birthmark is too distinctive to ignore. Kind of like overlapping, a few pink petals.
Su Hui couldn't tell whether the birthmark affected his appearance or made his face more attractive.
Tao Yingxu's voice is indeed very nice.
The background of this video is under a huge tree with white flowers blooming at their peak. Bloom on the head of the boy.
Tao Yingxu recited a few poems under the tree, and finally said a few words that he liked very much.
"I see that the humblest flowers have thoughts, hidden in places where tears cannot reach."
Su Hui remembered that this was Wordsworth's verse, and the interview began.
"Are you born in Wanhu City?"
"Yes, I was born here, but I have also seen the prosperous world outside."
"Did you enjoy your stay?"
"I like."
This answer is different from most children. He is probably the other person the interviewer said, and the liar that Mo Xiuxiu refuted. But now, Tao Yingxu's face is sincere.
Su Hui lowered his head and continued to watch.
"We rarely hear this answer. Can you tell me what you like about it here?"
Tao Yingxu said: "I think there are a lot of beautiful places here, a lot of good people, and a lot of delicious things. It's just that there are still some things that are lacking here, so people live very hard."
"What do you think is missing?"
Tao Yingxu was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Follow."
He explained, "This place exists in Huadu, which is the most prosperous city in the world. This fact has caused many people to not see it. This statement may seem a little strange to you, but it is In fact, although this place is connected to the outside world, people outside don't know what it's like here, what kind of life people live... and there are many misunderstandings about it."
"Do you think you're not being taken seriously?"
Tao Yingxu nodded: "The people who live here are like invisible people... I am very grateful for your willingness to come here to make this documentary."
Su Hui felt that Tao Yingxu was indeed a little different from other children, and his coherence was clearer. Being able to empathize with these film crews in the conversation, maybe that's why he had the opportunity to take a position on this crew and help out here.
Because of this, he can understand those children, bewitch them, and gain their trust.
The interviewee was silent for a moment and said: "We think that someone needs to make such a record. We try our best to use a better picture to present the real life of the people here. However, the click-to-play of this type of documentaries has not been very good. "
It's a self-deprecating way for the creators, and no one likes watching such placid urban records.
Completing such a filming, even those who make ends meet, are basically doing such things at a loss.
Such documentaries are destined to be less popular.
People's own lives are already hard enough and busy enough. Watching these things is like being unable to live with them. Some people even watch these documentaries just to find a sense of superiority.
Tao Yingxu expressed his understanding: "The pace of life is too fast now, and even if it attracts people's attention for a while, it can't last for a long time. But I think it's amazing that you are willing to do this. Maybe when the editing is completed, it will be played. It's going to explode."
Su Hui frowned, he thought Tao Yingxu's words meant something, maybe he was planning the whole plan at that time.
Today, Huadu and even the whole country are paying attention to Wanhu City.
This place, this huge unfinished building, has left a deep impression on people's hearts.
A place that had never been given much attention by people was suddenly pushed to the front desk.
The protagonist tonight is not the executioner, not the children, but Wanhucheng.
Tao Yingxu's interview was the longest among the several Su Hui had read. By the end of it, the police car had pulled into the hospital's parking lot.
Compared with other hospitals in the city, the scale of this hospital is much smaller, and the main building is also much lower.
The video plays to the end.
"What do you wish for?"
Tao Yingxu turned around and looked behind: "I hope that the shanty towns can truly disappear from this city. The unfinished buildings behind me can be rebuilt. However, this is difficult to do... Because of some historical The reason, no one wants to take over here."
"Do you think your wish will come true?"
Tao Yingxu smiled. His smile was very beautiful. When the corner of his mouth was raised, there was a pear vortex on one side: "How do you know if you don't try? Someone has to work hard to do this."
The footage of the interview was finally frozen in this picture.
"Who is the person who kidnapped you? What does it look like?"
"I...I didn't see him. It should be a man..."
"Where did he kidnap you?"
"It's in the alley not far from my house..."
"What about the time?"
"After school, it's about four o'clock."
"Is there no one around at that time, didn't you call for help?"
"Someone suddenly came out from behind and knocked me out... I didn't know anything. When I woke up, I was already sitting there with my hands and feet tied up..."
When Su Hui and Qiao Ze walked to the inpatient department of the hospital, two policemen from the Interpol team were questioning Mo Xiuxiu.
They entered the ward, and Su Hui sat on the chair opposite the hospital bed.
The girl lowered her head and twisted the quilt with her fingers, with an oxygen tube stuck under her nose.
Su Hui listened to a few words, and all he said were lies. He said, "It's hard work, let's ask her."
The two little policemen responded, then went out and closed the door.
Mo Xiuxiu had just finished the rescue, her face was still pale, and she had changed into a hospital gown.
The girl looked curiously at the consultant Su in front of her and the little policeman on the side. The two of them didn't look very old, especially the consultant Su, who felt like she was about to be blown down by a gust of wind. She didn't look like her at all. Impressed police.
Su Hui opened his mouth, his voice was slightly hoarse, and went straight to the subject: "You don't need to tell the lies. Who is the person who proposed this plan?"
Mo Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "What plan?"
Su Hui stared at her: "Death live broadcast plan, or do you have other proper words to refer to it?"
Mo Xiuxiu took a deep breath: "I don't know what you are talking about."
"What I'm going to tell you is that tonight's live broadcast is not a show, and tonight's live broadcast has caused two people to die, and you almost drowned."
"Someone died?" Mo Xiuxiu sat on the bed for a moment. Before, she only felt that she was soaked in water, and she was a little groggy and lost consciousness. When she opened her eyes again, she was in the hospital.
She thought everything was going according to plan, and she fainted just to be realistic, after all, she really survived.
But now, the person in front of her told her that she almost died?
Su Hui continued: "Time is urgent, I hope you can tell me who was behind the original plan?"
Mo Xiuxiu lowered her eyes for a while and hesitated.
The police car drove out and quickly shuttled through Wanhu City, drawing a long line on the narrow street in the dark night.
Su Hui hung up Lu Junchi's phone, covered his mouth and coughed uncontrollably.
Qiao Ze, who was sitting in the co-pilot, looked back at him a little worriedly: "Mr. Su, the director has sent over the material they were looking for for the children to shoot before. Would you like to take a look?"
