三年前。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc5zM0uoKU
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF90avYCuhl
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUXOU99KML
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23PfmYEBNZ
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiDfvwouJm
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOgNjMq96F
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？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTVyGcs2k0
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MPMN7Xpse
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？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbOqAKCF8I
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVbfWOfprb
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfOylLGnb3
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVXCnsHwiX
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwKJWbTZ1G
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHDLaxUjfi
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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfUe33BwfJ
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJIuc6lu01
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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzJRpWaa0C
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDQt5OFX9j
奕無常慢條斯理地轉身朝門口走去，頭也不回的離開了。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4roTVECj0
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWw2dMgsWY
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqFa3oTIZ2
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmEJVGVxhG
「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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrSn0p1qPD
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRg0xiLlq4
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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr29wq3169
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbLoUAn3wX
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zxgPfREqf
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQhfnnLDn4
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：279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3Ypmny80C
「服務為本，精益求精」。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2cK8pSica
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6MtwA9AJx
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki7SLx4g1j
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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaYWxOyhGa
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs49GG21D67
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL7lDMdkUE
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfzuz5a2BK
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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNayg62FeTR
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppeDUBhSc4
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgX12P5dEM
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK8mBQCbJq
……279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtYZODqRNd
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWK1RnuPyV
「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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBbKnDzmAv
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaVQl6yYFF
「冇。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvOomcuOec
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4ZdhaYs2k
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTILSTT4mA
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSye22Jpe8M
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……」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtokmzzzma
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl96HTIAXd2
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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgCpyTm6iz
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtDrEK0RaG
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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupdTzoW3UI
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5NaiH10A8
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？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgAWHIMDMH
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxlXCXKhDN
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y1LDzKCra
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEb0ExZCle
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？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNlj18ti7D
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M6dstGECj
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。）」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWjp72QhHd
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuzm8HEcTh
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……」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBh5GANNjx
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVfIKKKvmx
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，279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbviHSIUOZ

奕黑白個仔。噂通り、殺しに迷いがない。まるで感情がないみたいだ。（據說殺人都不會眨眼。）」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpt3LL18Ln
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxvJaWc4Gp
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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSysP1xfEU
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFPLHGam8j
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？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH1AUspRAM
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uadhNUp9N
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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mnrDpJ81d

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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsx6lvQ8hw
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQs2YW74Tr
「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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQd76zisRw
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrhr6hgjwY
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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX7Y5Y8peh
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI0dYOafRo
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！」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI19cVIyTZ
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9MpJa4x6o
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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggPwyLZz7j
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO4IVfoNz7
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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T32AoLJ1c
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFBmNa93RX
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？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDNcA2c1Mq
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92SOtHAk6i
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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxVmBOaLzr
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEAOKR10hA
「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？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojeynnB3uU
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd40YF0GSp
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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolZHjU1xBw
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwttlr3CfUL
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjoE1TVhb5
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBpdqR06Qi
「邊個講我壞話？」一把熟悉的聲音突然從門口傳來。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiGOrKrRL5
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcYQcdJtCg
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY265L9rQrJ
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9qu4Fv8ZO
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRVKCD0TYS
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL2NPe4VjA
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZJGw49yV9
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGCJ34sIt5
「點呀，張大探員，未死得吖嘛？」霍展鋒走到床邊，語氣調侃。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UkeJRblFk
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWMMsboYCW
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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk42tGZ3PSy
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMamwrDkwVo
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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo8pcgFiGZ
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZwLBM5v2o
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUdlFbyJee
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyI0YdFzMw
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbstjO6Tbq
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUGtJBuOAA
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9WGfwYEkW
「頭，我有啲嘢要同你講。」李浩洋低聲說，語氣帶著幾分慎重。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBl6CwnCcG
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU9iBUSmY3
霍展鋒皺了皺眉：「咩事呀？咁Q神秘。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWYNLJ1Lnv
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMzDSkOsDU
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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUDljbNf2M
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPP0TXIaYu
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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ0PlgUbIo
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2IWoPArDf
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？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG88ev4aPZ
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB4ha2DbI1
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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDn99Pio2T
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvbVF1eCuG
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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzjdME82Z5
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQhYIPHMtK
霍展鋒眉頭一挑，眼神變得更加犀利：「有咩唔應該講？講！」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxk1fhNoRp
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxf5FDbCjy
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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKns9kllEqv
