三年前。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHSK3DC5eb
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVXTPdRVQx
奕無常站在警署的會議室裡，雙手插在西裝口袋中，目光平靜地注視著面前的桌子。他的身後，牆上的時鐘「滴答滴答」作響，彷彿在提醒時間的流逝。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY4c6uXAgP
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7fhLMKB7E
門被推開，當年還是總督察的鄭逸泰走了進來。他關上門，拿著一份文件坐到奕無常對面，表情冷峻。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3GAlhPbiF
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPGulv9T7Q
鄭逸泰將文件重重地放在桌上，語氣嚴厲：「『老鼠』失蹤，失蹤前最後見嘅係你，點交代？」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1Vuebj6md
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSTLbWAsha
鄭逸泰用力吸了一口氣，似乎在壓抑心中的怒火：「你偽造證據屈個犯，我算。你打犯，我都隻眼開隻眼閉。 阿哥，而家同你見面個線人失咗蹤，你老實答我，係咪佢畀唔到料你你殺咗佢？」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xW4UV1BQm
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHlV8yWaNM
奕無常這個人，冷血無情，即便他的手法在灰色地帶徘徊，但正因為他的辦案手段極為高效，幫警方破獲了無數棘手的大案。這也是為什麼鄭逸泰對他充滿信任與包庇。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8wykJZKgy
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q4BYQ8C70
毫不過份地說，鄭逸泰能爬上今時今日的位置，一半功勞歸霍展鋒，另一半便是歸奕無常。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LDU2XnjsQ
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShxLpw1Fii
奕無常微微抬起眼，冷冷地看著鄭逸泰：「佢係死咗。但係呢件事同你無關。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK6uRHc6Mb
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEONKYwg8i
鄭逸泰被他氣得無言：「死咗人我保你唔到。停職呀，接受內部調查科嘅調查。當畀自己放個長假。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCFhtzuqWT
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrePJXZWQj
奕無常慢條斯理地轉身朝門口走去，頭也不回的離開了。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv0VB5P7wm
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1G5yoeMxD
霍展鋒知道奕無常被停職的消息後，特意找了個兩人單獨相處的機會。他們站在警署天台上，風吹得有些涼，遠處的城市燈火點點，卻顯得無比遙遠。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoiitCyT20
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA9WJlbZZT
「咁你諗住點做？我知你未搵到你老豆，係唔會收手。」霍展鋒點了支煙，沉默了片刻才開口。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QXoUpaXRM
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj21WZWWjK1
奕無常站在一旁，目光冷冷地注視著遠處。他的聲音平靜卻帶著決絕：「既然警察幫唔到我，我就用自己嘅方法。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc24vdnPZd4
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYLVGahD8A
霍展鋒皺了皺眉，叼著煙的嘴角微微一抽：「嘿嘿，以前喺學堂啱啱識你嘅時候已經係咁。最後我畀個忠告你，你要殺人放火嘅，唔該唔好喺新界南，我嚟緊會調去總區重案，唔想親手拉你。」他說完轉身走向出口，留下奕無常一個。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KPNzqsn58
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7ow6Xib3d
會議室內，氣氛壓抑而緊張。牆上掛著香港警察的徽章，下邊是標語：86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMKSPh5Vm7
「服務為本，精益求精」。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYTmf3bs94
桌面擺滿了文件，幾位高層警官嚴肅地坐在椅子上，目光集中在站在中央的奕無常身上。而其中最引人注目的人，是一名滿頭白髮但目光炯炯的警務處高級助理處長一一霍永昌。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrpX4AbPDK
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7DMpVnPTQ
霍永昌的聲音平穩而嚴厲，帶著不容置疑的威權：「奕無常督察，由於你涉及多宗嚴重傷人案，包括毆打證人，禁錮疑犯，以及與警方線人失蹤案有關，現正式停職，接受內部調查科的調查。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGDkZB3SQo
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYNqWKcr03
奕無常站得筆直，面無表情，雙手垂放，目光淡然地掃過在座的每一個人。他並沒有辯解，也沒有顯露絲毫情緒波動。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMnA1jTYl2
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xjj079RoR
一旁的調查主任接著開口：「奕督察，根據規定，請你立即交出委任證和佩槍，並停止執行任何與警務相關的職責，直至調查結束。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDlSrhaRUw
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqciQs3oOX
奕無常緩緩抬起手，從腰間取下佩槍，又從口袋中掏出警員委任證，放在桌面上。他的動作從容不迫，沒有一絲猶豫，彷彿這只是例行公事。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDtABfssqD
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb269HymGH
……86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr8clsM4Om
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIW0MbCtVK
「仲有冇嘢講？」霍永昌直視著奕無常，語氣低沉，像是在給他最後的機會。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g8LDhCJx1
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hZlKjs3iT
「冇。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dim1xoPmL
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNw0veAJ44
奕無常沒有再說話，轉身朝門口走去，靴子踏在地板上的聲音格外清晰。會議室裡的高層警官互相交換了幾個複雜的眼神，沒有人開口。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGSlrpX0Z2
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI2Hia6Hih
當門關上的一瞬間，霍永昌歎了一口氣，輕聲說：「我個仔同佢係同期，幾啱嘴型，太可惜……」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6Aq3sPbHo
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFThugjS5lX
一名年長的警官沉吟著補充：「我認為，奕無常呢種人，情感淡漠，目標純粹，佢唔係為公義，而係為咗自己嘅某啲目的。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX5QpPhKYa
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoVJfHqneI
霍永昌點了點頭，目光變得深邃：「奕無常嘅能力係我見過最頂尖。問題唔係能力，而係佢嘅信念。佢無情，唔會畀其他人嘅痛苦影響，亦唔會考慮後果。警察嘅工作，唔係淨係要破案，仲要守住底線。佢早已經唔係行緊喺警察嗰條路。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGmZ7FdqqW
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS1jfUf28s
一位較年輕的警官有些遲疑，但還是問了一句：「咁，奕無常會唔會唔服氣，甚至……變成咗警隊嘅敵人？」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDAFKhekG3
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDChEjMyYIa
會議室外的走廊，燈光明亮而空曠，兩道身影正沿著走廊慢慢走過。他們的步伐輕盈，像是故意壓低聲音，以免驚動裡面的人。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfDcd6sQbE
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvdIRxwA3a
一個身材高大挺拔，氣勢沉穩的人，聲音低沉帶著威嚴：「居然要霍永昌出手。NOW，嗰個警察係咩人？」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7Nzzh1i7P
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDdZUSjYmX
他身旁那個叫NOW的人聽到問話，嘴角微微上揚，以一半日文一半廣東話回答：「あいつか？奕無常ですよ。（那傢夥？他是奕無常。）」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdo3xHI5lO
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfxitbtzbU
高大男子停下腳步，側頭看了NOW一眼，聲音更冷了一分：「奕？姓奕……」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQcPPmsUI2
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglFzMnNuua
NOW挑起眉，嘴角的笑意更深了一分：「そうや。（是呀。）就係你諗緊嗰個，86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ObLtQerKQ

奕黑白個仔。噂通り、人殺してもまばたきせえへんやつやわ。（據說殺人都不會眨眼。）」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX4emYHYkC
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPCV16iBQa
高大男子眼中閃過一絲寒光，低聲道：「奕黑白個仔……我一直以為佢死咗……原來佢做咗警察……殺人唔眨眼？佢係警察嚟㗎喎。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwngqYFQdT
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXUIFcErzx
NOW抬手撓了撓頭：「俺ただ聞いただけやん。（我只是聽講的。）司令，需唔需要我處理佢？」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqUKuWxZ8C
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUpbunt5X3
那個被稱為司令的人聽罷，嘴角緩緩勾起一抹邪惡的冷笑，聲音低沉而充滿威脅：「計劃有變，唔返基地。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BPRoGsmOh

清晨的醫院病房內，張子樂緩緩睜開眼睛，視線因剛甦醒而有些模糊。他感到自己的身體似乎被無數根細線束縛著，手臂上掛著點滴，胸口還隱隱作痛。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ff3kUZQhk
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacjymkbhwM
「可樂！你醒喇！」郭志華是第一個發現他醒來的人，語氣中帶著掩飾不住的欣喜。他拍了拍張子樂的肩膀，笑得十分爽朗：「阿頭話你命硬，果然係新界南拳王。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfgJrSAS3U
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRRgdxbjLp
病床周圍站著幾名同事，包括陳致恆、程穎以及李浩洋。每個人臉上都帶著或多或少的關切。陳致恆站在稍遠的地方，神色複雜，猶豫了一下才開口：「張sir，對唔住，我……我應該負責你嘅安全……係我冇做好second hand嘅職責。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnBZvd6Kdo
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpvrEXuyjU
張子樂語氣雖然虛弱，但依然帶著他一貫的輕鬆：「咁講嘢呀陳sir，邊個做second hand都唔會睇到對方會玩暗器㗎啦。再講，邊個上司會同下屬講sorry㗎，放鬆啲啦！」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC9HIFVNq6
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQGG9NM8vS
陳致恆低下頭，雙手無意識地揉著手指，語氣堅定：「如果我當時可以跑快啲追到個疑犯，可能就唔會出事。我有責任。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBVnVc1qg9
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI1uB0Tgnp
郭志華拍了拍陳致恆的肩膀，笑道：「新仔，慢慢嚟啦。我成日話，人要有犯錯嘅勇氣，最緊要係成長得快。尋日上山搵證據，最落力嗰個係你。我哋睇好你㗎。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4FM0ROXg6
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55009XXcuo
張子樂突然正經地問：「係呢，我瞓咗呢兩日查到啲咩？搵唔搵到整傷我條友？殺彭德元個兇手呢？彭建業同佢老婆呢？」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnzQb9KArx
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQianhfzvk
程穎輕聲道：「樂樂，醫生話你仲要休息多幾日。放心，單case我哋已經有線索。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS5UqgYsG3
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BJ1i7fgPN
「穎姐，畀你見到我最瘀嗰一面添……」張子樂勉強笑了一下，目光掃過每個同事的臉，最後停在霍展鋒不在的地方，帶著一絲遺憾問：「阿頭呢？佢冇過嚟探我？」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcoZVLvb4w
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7ocnLmBWa
郭志華聳了聳肩：「佢尋日話有啲事忙，跟住就冇咗消息。」他壓低聲音補充了一句：「不過我諗可能佢自己唔想見到你傷成咁，面子掛唔住。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaDPR6zgEl
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkhuzJXA35
全場的人都笑了起來，這一刻，病房內的氣氛終於不再壓抑，每個人都鬆了一口氣。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNCF0uBgqx
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5BGDf4fp9
「邊個講我壞話？」一把熟悉的聲音突然從門口傳來。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo129xzZZG
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsguTZWeug
眾人轉頭望去，只見霍展鋒正靠在門框邊，嘴角掛著一抹標誌性的痞笑，但臉上和手臂能看見一些傷痕，看起來顯然帶著一點疲憊。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncGnGyZT8n
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMA0WWxL78
郭志華愣了一下，率先開口：「阿頭，你發生咩事呀？搞到你咁？」他的語氣中透著驚訝和幾分調侃。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr6VsNSYVp
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV6cEuf89w
霍展鋒拍了拍肩，裝作若無其事地說：「哎呀，撞到啲唔識禮貌嘅人，教訓咗佢兩下。」說完，他眼神掃了一圈病房內的每個人，最後停在張子樂身上。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGrA8tqKHq
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofkWCLz1rj
「點呀，張大探員，未死得吖嘛？」霍展鋒走到床邊，語氣調侃。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51950Q4wUh
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgwXVeJAOt
張子樂苦笑，勉強撐起身體：「阿頭，我硬淨係跟學你㗎，不過未夠班，睇嚟要加倍努力。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc80nrJqZ3
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SSJZ6LBqE
霍展鋒聞言笑了笑，伸手輕輕拍了拍張子樂的肩膀：「得啦戲精，唔駛奉承我啦。我同你講，快啲養好啲傷先，等你返嚟同我一齊KO呢單嘢。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWR4fjMtfc
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf8RvPS0W4
病房內的氣氛再次輕鬆起來，但每個人都感覺到，霍展鋒昨天肯定經歷了一些狀況，只是他不願說出來罷了。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIZAA6vKhJ
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9oUdzbcse
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIykJZJx7No
霍展鋒正準備與其他人鬥嘴之際，忽然被李浩洋輕輕拉到病房外的角落。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaYBQvhkMu
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUQSNKev13
「頭，我有啲嘢要同你講。」李浩洋低聲說，語氣帶著幾分慎重。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4OBsY5fzM
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK9e9pXViC
霍展鋒皺了皺眉：「咩事呀？咁Q神秘。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt5tIjjjHO
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdOi2q4HXf
李浩洋四下望了望，確保沒人注意到他們後，才壓低聲音道：「尋日你要我查嗰個葉天行，我搵到啲料。原來佢根本唔止係販毒。軍火、賭場、走私，樣樣都有佢份。而且，仲有一樣大嘢。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8qwPJWill
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AZrvwSeJ1
李浩洋的聲音更低了一點：「20年前一一1997年，舊機場恐怖襲擊，批軍火就係佢提供。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcHXCEea8T
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc52kiYpqG
霍展鋒聞言，眉頭瞬間緊鎖，目光變得更為深邃。他沉默了幾秒，低聲問：「你有冇實質證據？」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWEwc9FpQO
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63EPozv0c4
李浩洋搖了搖頭：「我只係喺幾份舊報告度搵到啲線索。當年呢批軍火來源一直係謎，但一啲走私調查檔案顯示，葉天行好可能係Keyman。不過，20年前嘅舊檔案記錄得好模糊，好多資料都斷咗，似乎係有人刻意清過底。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXZFRZYKuJ
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsCwl5y9sL
李浩洋猶豫了一下，像是在斟酌用詞，最後還是開口：「仲有……一樣嘢……唔知……應唔應該話你聽。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ8vtex4uE
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK7tlh4rNl
霍展鋒眉頭一挑，眼神變得更加犀利：「有咩唔應該講？講！」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKf4LzYXCv
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3utfdNzIye
李浩洋抿了抿嘴，有些不好意思地道：「其實，當年負責調查呢單case嘅主管……係前SACP一一霍永昌。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpddSRtfIs6
