Breaking Through the Clouds

Retired.

Although everyone knew that such a day would come, no one could have imagined that this day would come so soon.

Yan Yan didn't know what to say for a while, but Yu Zhu looked at him and smiled, stood up and patted his cuffs: "Come on, let's go to your office to talk about this kidnapping case."

Immediately afterwards, she bypassed Yan Mao and walked straight to the closed door of the deputy detachment leader's office not far away.

——Jiang Ting is still in the office!

Yan Mo strode forward, pressed the handle before Yu Zhu stretched out his hand to push the door, and said with a smile, "It's a pity that my office is in a mess, and I don't have time to clean it up right now, I'm afraid I'm going to make Team Yu laugh..." said Pushing open the door, he skillfully took half a step sideways, blocking Yu Zhu's sight.

There was a slight movement from the cabinet door, and then it fell silent.

Team Yu walked into the office.

"Isn't this pretty clean?" Team Yu laughed, pulled away the armchair opposite the desk and sat down, waved his hand to stop Yan Yan: "I don't need to make tea, I can't drink anything now, and I have to listen when I take two steps." Doctor's order - I am already a useless person."

Yan Xie also pulled away the swivel chair, took advantage of the gap to quickly walk around the office, and then said with a smile: "Where is it, you have made great contributions to Jianning City, how can you say that about yourself."

—He said this with sincerity, because it was the truth.

Yu Zhu is the first female police superintendent in the history of Jianning City, and she is also one of the female criminal investigators with the highest status in the province's public security system. More than 30 years ago, she started as an intern in the field, did trace inspection and technical investigation, participated in anti-drug anti-smuggling, anti-explosive and explosive arrests hundreds of times, and made more than ten meritorious deeds.More than ten years ago, when Wei Yao, the main branch of criminal investigation, sank to the police station for training, she was transferred to the deputy head of the criminal investigation department as the deputy director of the technical investigation department to lead the criminal investigation work of the city bureau; shortly after Wei Yao came back, she was promoted to deputy director. It has been promoted to the official branch of criminal investigation at the division level.

If she hadn't been diagnosed with a heart problem two years ago, even so serious that she needed bypass surgery, she would have no problem transferring to the deputy director-level leadership post.

"Heroes don't talk about being brave back then, so don't mention the past." Yu Zhu smiled, "Tell me about the kidnapping this time. Not an isolated case, but a series of kidnappings?"

"Oh, that's what happened."

Yan Xie had been prepared for a long time, and handed over the materials at hand to Yu Zhu to read, and at the same time gave a brief overview of Jiang Ting's analysis, emphasizing the kidnapper's unusual sense of role split and desire for ritual, and added: "It is mainly because our original The investigation has come to a dead end, and it is almost impossible to move forward. The technical investigation found that the car rental company hired by Shen Xiaoqi was a WeChat official account that bought soft articles from Moments. He only said that he did not wait for Shen Xiaoqi outside the scenic spot on the night of the incident. I don’t know about the third question, the driver of the inner black car has been taken to the interrogation room by Xiao Ma and the others and has been interrogated for two hours; about why Shen Xiaoqi wanted to go to the Tianzong Mountain Scenic Area and whether he was affected by any external factors, there is nothing to gain so far... "

"The on-site search and rescue personnel didn't find any clues in the mountains and forests?" Yu Zhu asked.

"Trace detection, police dogs, and life detectors are all available, and the scope of search and rescue has been pushed to the limit." Yan Xie said, "In this season's primitive mountain forest, finding the whereabouts of the two children is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. .”

Yu Thu pondered and nodded.

Yan Xie asked: "Do you think there is anything wrong with our way of pursuing serial cases?"

Judging from Yu Zhu's reaction, she probably weighed her words before saying, "It can't be said that it's inappropriate, on the contrary, it's very reasonable."

Yan Yan looked slightly relaxed.

"But only one thing caught my attention."

Yan Yan: "Huh?"

"You are good at organization and interrogation, and behavior analysis is a bit too professional for you." Yu Zhu moved her upper body forward slightly, looking into Yan Yan's eyes: "Is there anyone in the city bureau who inspired you? "

In just a second or two, Yan Xie calmly looked back at the searching gaze on the other side, but countless thoughts flashed through his mind instantly.

What is she testing?

What to say?

"Oh, this." Yan Yan blinked, and smiled casually: "It's really desperate, so I called my dad and asked. Didn't our family invest in a private hospital? He should have asked a few external psychiatrist."

Yu Zhu thought for a moment, and finally leaned back slowly on the back of the chair:

"...Well, there is nothing wrong with doing so."

Yan Yan smiled and didn't answer.

"My physical condition is like this. It will be a matter of time before you take the lead on your own. The chief of the criminal investigation detachment is the most important position on the front line of the public security, and is the first barrier to face crime. If your judgment is wrong, many people will be victimized by it. At the same time, if you can Influence your thinking, and many people will get improper benefits because of it.”

Yu Zhu stood up, and Yan Xie also stood up, and she paused pointingly:

"I hope that all your decisions will not be influenced by any outside world, even if the influence comes from the seemingly peaceful city bureau."

Yan Yan: "..."

"Okay, I won't bother you with the case." Yu Zhu looked at her watch, and solemnly patted Yan Xie on the shoulder: "I'll go to Bureau Lu's office, we'll talk later."

Yan Yan wanted to say something, her lips moved, but before she could speak, she raised her hand to stop her.

Yu Thu turned and left the office with her hands behind her back.

Yan Xie stood behind the desk and watched her leave, his eyes flickered slightly.It took a long while until Yu Zhu's footsteps completely disappeared in the corridor, before he finally stepped forward and closed the concealed office door tightly.

Then he looked at the filing cabinet: "What do you think?"

The curtain moved behind him, and Jiang Ting got out.

Yan Yan suddenly turned his head to look, and saw Jiang Ting moving his stiff shoulders nonchalantly, as if he didn't hear Yu Zhu's words just now, and only asked, "How's the case file going?"

·

At the same time, Bureau Lu's office.

There were two knocks on the door, and then Yu Zhu pushed the door open and entered.

Director Lu's eyes glued to the computer screen didn't even move away, he just raised his watch and said, "You're late, what did you do?"

"It's nothing, I chatted with Yan Mo about this case on the way." Yu Zhu walked to the table and sat down, looking at the screen with her head: "—Have you started watching it?"

Bureau Lu pushed the screen towards her: "Yes."

——I saw that what was playing on the screen was the internal surveillance video of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and the time in the lower right corner was the early morning of May [-]th.

The night Hu Weisheng died of taking drugs!

In the dimly lit office, only the screen was dimly lit, which was reflected on the dark faces of the two, and the shaking images from every corner of the Central City Bureau were reflected in the four eyes.It took a while to hear Captain Yu take a breath, and said in a low voice, "Is our Jianning Municipal Bureau going to become the next Gongzhou after all?"

Director Lu glanced at her, and suddenly said, "Speaking of Gongzhou, I think of someone."

"Ok?"

"You have co-directed several operations with Jiang Ting, the former second detachment of anti-drugs in Gongzhou. What do you think of him?"

When Hao Duanduan mentioned this, Yu Zhu was slightly taken aback: "Jiang Ting?—Isn't he already dead?"

"But it has always been said that Jiang Ting is the number one black policeman in Gongzhou." Director Lu's face was filled with joy and anger, and he asked, "I want to hear your opinion."

"..."

Dui Yu had her usual restrained and cautious expression on her face. After thinking for a long time, she slowly said: "Jiang Ting's analysis of the case is indeed very good, but apart from the analysis of the case, anything that comes out of his mouth is very important. Very unreliable... He has a very special ability, that is, he is easy to trust, even many experienced criminal investigators are hard to escape. I have met many criminals in my life, but like Jiang Ting, he is good at hiding and inducing A master of the human heart is unique."

Director Lu didn't speak, but raised his fingers.

Team Yu said: "I'm sure the deaths of Yue Guangping, the deputy mayor of Gongzhou, and the undercover 'Rivet' were all related to him."

·

The minute hand of the wall clock on the wall passed by in circles, and outside the window of the criminal investigation detachment office, the red sunset gradually turned into a dark night, and the smell of cigarettes and instant noodles filled the entire corridor, fully saturating everyone's lungs.

Ma Xiang leaned weakly against the door frame, and patted the open door twice symbolically: "No, brother Yan, the result is not ideal."

Yan Xie was sitting behind the computer, Jiang Ting was wearing a baseball cap and sitting among the piles of files. Hearing this, the two looked up at the same time.

"A total of 2864 cases of missing teenagers were reported across the province in the past three years, 216 of which were unsolved, and 19 were identified as kidnappings. Of the 19 unsolved kidnappings, 11 were male hostages, 8 were female, and none There is no case of double kidnapping, and there is no ransom of more than 200 million." Ma Xiang slammed the data summary on the desk: "As for the double kidnapping cases that have been cracked, there are 63 cases, most of them are under ten years old. For children with relatives, the suspect is either sitting in a prison or has already been shot, let alone committing another crime.”

Yan Xie took the materials and was about to open them when Jiang Ting waved at him.

Yan Yan had no choice but to go over with the materials, Jiang Ting was sitting and he was standing, and the two gathered together to look through the stack of case files.

"What's going on, this road is dead again." Yan Yan murmured while bowing, "What should I do next?"

"It's not so easy to die."

"Then what are you talking about?"

"..." Just as Jiang Ting was about to turn the page, he suddenly stopped and looked up at Yan Yan: "This line of thinking is definitely correct, but there may be something wrong with the screening method."

Yan Yan raised half of his brows, motioning for him to continue.

"Let's go back to this case again. After the six students arrived at the farmhouse, Tan Shuang took Buwei to pick up wood, and Shen Xiaoqi followed behind and left a return mark so that Tan Shuang could return to the hotel along the same road. During this process, Shen Xiaoqi was alone."

Yan Xie nodded.

"We already know that the kidnapper has a good understanding of the Shen family's situation, and it is a premeditated follow-up kidnapping. However, he did not take action when the target was singled out, but waited until Shen Xiaoqi rescued Bu Wei and Tan Shuang left before proceeding to kidnap." the two of them."

"Wait," Yan Yan interrupted him: "Are you trying to say that Buwei may be suspected of committing the crime?"

"Before the hostages are rescued, even Shen Xiaoqi himself cannot completely rule out the suspicion." Jiang Ting said, "I still have common sense on this point."

Yan Yan: "Hmm..."

"But let's not mention whether the two hostages are suspected or not, and only discuss the general situation. When the suspect talks to you on the phone as a 'kidnapper' instead of an 'executor', there is one thing that is contrary to the normal role of a kidnapper: It’s just that he didn’t take the initiative to mention the existence of Buwei, and he didn’t even try to ask the government for an extra ransom, it seems that on the surface, Buwei is just a dispensable addition to him.”

Jiang Ting paused, looking at Yan Mao.

"Yes," Yan Yan was a little inexplicable by what he said: "It is because of this that we cannot judge whether Buwei is a pure hostage. If she is a victim, why didn't the kidnappers use her as a threat to the police at all? If She is not a victim, or even a member of the kidnappers, so wouldn't this kind of differential treatment more clearly arouse the suspicion of the police?——This is too contradictory to the kidnappers' superb anti-reconnaissance capabilities."

What he said was so reasonable that even Ma Xiang, who was tired not far away, could not help but move his chair closer.

But Jiang Ting shook his head and said, "Why don't you understand what I mean?"

"...Hey, you," Yan Xie swept his backhand on the hollow of his shoulder: "Don't just play charades here, tell me quickly."

Jiang Ting didn't pay attention to the small details of Yan Xie's hands and feet.

He said: "Buwei's existence is useless for the character of 'kidnapper', but she was taken away. Could it be because it is 'executor' who needs her existence?"

As if some kind of fog had been cleared away, the eyes of the other two people in the office changed a bit.

"...notary," Yan Yan murmured suddenly, "a shooting scene usually requires a notary."

Ma Xiang slapped his thigh violently.

"If the executioner only needs another hostage to appear as a notary, then just like the current case, the parents of the other kidnapped person will not receive a blackmail call at all, and even if they call the police, they will only treat it as an ordinary disappearance case or even leave home. Leave to deal with. That is to say..."

Jiang Ting spread his hands, and Yan Yan immediately took up his words: "—that is to say, our screening target should be another case of missing persons that occurred in the same place and jurisdiction as the kidnapping case at the same time!"

Jiang Ting threw the thick stack of summaries at Ma Xiang, and Ma Xiang jumped up energetically, turned around and rushed out.

"Brother Yan! Brother Yan!" Half an hour later, Ma Xiang pushed the door open and rushed in, slamming the material on the table with a loud bang.

Yan Mao raised his head suddenly, Jiang Ting got up and walked over as if he had a premonition.

"On July 12 last year, a 16-year-old boy named He Liang was kidnapped in Longchang Town, Jiangyang County. The kidnapper extorted 100 million and was limited to 72 hours. Parents borrowed 100 million and sent the money to the kidnappers. No one came to pick it up at the designated place, and the parents finally reported to the police station on the fourth day, but it was too late, and the police haven’t found He Liang’s body yet.”

Ma Xiang flipped through the materials and pointed to a few pages: "There are two points worth noting about this case. One is that the parents received the bloody clothes sent by the kidnappers, but post-analysis proved it to be chicken blood; This keyword, but that is because the case is not in Jianning, our file is incomplete, and we lack detailed information on the police station that received the police.”

Without saying a word, Yan Mao shouted to the outside: "Come here!"

A criminal policeman with red eyes rushed in.

"Immediately call the Jiangyang County Longchang Town Police Station and ask them to fax over the first-hand transcript of the 712 He Liang kidnapping case last year!"

"Yes!" The detective turned around and roared out.

Ma Xiang pulled out another piece of printing paper: "According to Consultant Lu's speculation, on the same day, in the same place, and in the same jurisdiction, Jiangyang County 110 Police Center received a call from the parents of another 16-year-old girl, Li Yuxin, saying that her daughter Disappeared after being scolded by family members for declining academic performance, suspected to have run away from home. Grass-roots police forces were tense, and the police case was not filed until 7 hours later on July 13, but the family went to the police station to withdraw the case on the evening of July 24, saying that her daughter had lost her temper I'll be back."

Yan Xie and Jiang Ting looked at each other in unison.

——I came back by myself.

"Has this Li Yuxin ever disappeared?" Yan Yan asked.

"No, but she later entered the detention center because of repeated theft. At the same time, it is worth noting that I checked the map," Ma Xiang flipped through the densely printed paper: "Jiangyang No. 200 Middle School where Li Yuxin studied, and The High School Attached to Normal School where He Liang studied, the two schools are door-to-door across the road, and the distance between the two schools is less than [-] meters.”

The same young boys and girls, the door is opposite the door, and they basically mix together when they go to and from school...

The four words "Zhi Mu Shaoai" popped up in everyone's mind at the same time.

"Jiangyang No. [-] Middle School." Suddenly Yan Yan pondered: "Although I didn't take classes well in high school...but I remember that the No. [-] Middle School in a certain place is usually one of the best schools in the area."

Ma Xiang affirmed: "Yes, Jiangyang No. [-] Middle School is quite famous, and I just found out that they were the number one in the college entrance examination."

"The girl who was admitted to the best local high school and was scolded by her parents because of her poor academic performance, why did she go to the detention center for repeated thefts—has she had a history of stealing before?"

"No, but it may be that there is no record left under the age of 16..." Ma Xiang couldn't explain: "It's quite weird."

"Maybe kleptomania," Jiang Ting said flatly.

Yan Xie and Ma Xiang cast their gazes at the same time.

"Kleptomania usually occurs in women, and the onset is more frequent in those over 15 years old and under 20 years old. Most of the symptoms are psychogenic and induced by external factors." Jiang Ting said: "If she has worked as a 'notary', then this It could be PTSD, a form of post-traumatic stress disorder."

His expression darkened slightly as he spoke the last few words, but no one could see it clearly in the late-night office.

"Deputy Yan, the transcript you want!" The criminal policeman who had called just now came back, and rushed into the room holding a fax that was still hot: "I just received a fax from the Longchang Town Police Station. The first-hand police information of the case!"

Yan Xie's whole body was shocked immediately, and he picked it up and opened it. He only glanced at it twice, and then pointed to a certain page to show Jiang Ting to read.

That was the blackmail call record dictated by the local police to He Liang's parents——

"The voice said: '100 million, not a penny less, and there are 72 hours before the execution time.'"

Jiang Ting said, "That's him."

Snapped!

Yan Xie and Jiang Ting clapped their hands hard, although the latter was caught off guard and almost staggered half a step by the slap.

"When I catch that grandson, I'll have to kill him alive!" Yan Xie was full of joy, regardless of his hoarse voice due to lack of sleep: "Ma Xiang, go check Li Yuxin, which detention center is how long is the drive from Jianning? !"

Ma Xiang said: "Do you still need to order this, Jiangyang County Detention Center, if the drive is fast, it will take three hours one way, do you want to go?"

Yan Xie looked at his watch, it was one fourteen in the morning.

"Go!" Yan Yan grabbed the documents, uniform and gun like a strong wind passing through the border: "Ma Xiang sent your consultant Lu home to rest, and called a boy who was not on duty during the day to take me to Jiangyang, and notified Bureau Lu and the local Say hello from the detention center—I want to interrogate that little girl surnamed Li overnight!"

Suddenly his hand was grabbed from behind, and when Yan Yan turned his head, Jiang Ting said in a deep voice, "I'll go with you."

"Your body..."

"It's okay, sleep in the car." Jiang Ting replied concisely: "The case is important."

One twenty in the morning.

The criminal investigation building was brightly lit all night. Downstairs, Daqie lit up red and blue police lights and rushed out of the gate of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

"Consultant Lu is the best. Sure enough, this kidnapping is not an isolated case. The kidnapper's anti-reconnaissance ability and precise grasp of time can also prove from the side that he is a veteran." Although Ma Xiang was stopped several times by Yan Yan, who told him to go home and go to sleep , but Young Master Ma followed the car with the case file materials, sat on the co-pilot and flipped through: "Now we only need to find Li Yuxin, this little girl must know the information about the kidnapper, at least she has confronted that pervert head-on dealing with..."

"Not necessarily," Jiang Ting's voice came from the back seat.

Ma Xiang turned around: "Huh?"

Before leaving, Yan Xie casually grabbed a criminal policeman surnamed Zhang to drive, and he and Jiang Ting sat in the back seat.The carriage was dark in the middle of the night, and Jiang Ting's pale face could be vaguely seen due to fatigue, but he still spoke calmly: "If Li Yuxin had dealt with the kidnapper face-to-face, and even seen the kidnapper's face, why was he released in good condition? Come back, this is a problem that cannot be explained at present."

"Then our thinking..."

"The idea itself is correct, but there is one thing: our analysis is not based on facts, but on behavioral logical reasoning."

Ma Xiang became nervous with a "Huh?!"

"...Don't understand?" Jiang Ting asked back, looking at his big innocent blinking eyes.

Ma Xiang said honestly: "Maybe in the daytime, but my current IQ is only one-tenth of that in the daytime..."

Yan Yan has been looking out of the car window since he got in the car, and he didn't know what to search for along the way. Hearing this, he said coldly: "Listen to him, his IQ during the day is only 70 at most!"

Ma Xiang wrinkled his face extremely wronged, Jiang Ting laughed.

"The police's logical analysis of the suspect's behavior, just like the legendary psychological profiling and micro-expression recognition, lacks scientific proof and mainly relies on experience. Although we say that the massive practical experience of criminal investigators is behavioral The basis of analysis, but empiricism is empiricism after all, if there is a lack of real evidence, even if criminal psychology profiling and behavioral logic analysis can achieve a 99% correct rate, it cannot avoid the 1% fatal error.”

"For example," Jiang Ting saw Ma Xiang's serious appearance, and was rarely interested: "What do you think is the basis for our inference that the kidnapping is not an isolated case?"

"Hmm..." Ma Xiang hesitated, "During the kidnapping of 712, a shirt soaked in chicken blood appeared, and keywords of execution appeared, and it basically met the premise that two teenagers, a boy and a girl, disappeared at the same time..."

"But we still can't be sure that the two cases were committed by the same person. If there is another group of kidnappers in this world who like to threaten the family members of the hostages with blood clothes, and watch too many criminal investigation dramas, they also like to use the word execution. What about anti-investigation methods? What if Li Yuxin's disappearance was really just a runaway from home, and the 712 He Liang's kidnapping case was just a coincidence?"

Ma Xiang was speechless.

"Besides, there is an unexplainable part, which is why a coat soaked in the blood of the white-tailed sea eagle was used in Shen Xiaoqi's case, and the kidnappers extorted 712 million yuan. Last year, the 100 case showed a chicken blood shirt and a ransom of [-] million yuan." Jiang Jiang Xie said, "We cannot deny that there are various coincidences in this world, and at the same time, we cannot rule out the possibility of imitating crimes. Therefore, in the absence of evidence, the so-called criminal psychology portraits and behavioral logic analysis are just gorgeous papers."

If Ma Xiang realized something, he nodded silently.

"—But Consultant Lu," he couldn't help asking after a while, "If, as you said, we really encountered that 1% possibility, all behavioral analysis and inferences will be wrong..."

Jiang Ting didn't leave him any room for luck: "Then the two children will die."

The carriage fell into silence, the air was slightly heavy, and even the criminal policeman who was driving couldn't help shivering.

"This is normal in the investigation of any case." After an unknown amount of time, Yan Yan's hoarse voice suddenly resounded.

Ma Xiang looked back at him from the passenger seat.

"Criminal investigators are not gods. In the process of fighting crimes, there will inevitably be times when they are powerless or even make mistakes in judgment. We will pay a heavy price for this, and even leave an unforgettable shadow, but that is unavoidable for every old criminal policeman. ——The most important thing is whether we can stand up again with scars and shadows when we face a crime next time."

Yan Mo's voice paused slightly.

Beside him, Jiang Ting seemed to be aware of it, and glanced at him very unobtrusively.

All of a sudden, I heard Yan Yan's "hey": "Xiao Zhang, pull over and stop for a while."

The driving policeman didn't know why, but he turned on the lights and pulled over as he said, and slowly stopped in front of the convenience store.As soon as the car stopped, Yan Xie pushed the door and got in, and came back with a bag of things in a short while.

"Here, refresh yourself when driving at night." Yan Xie passed Red Bull, coffee and snacks to the front row, and stuffed two steaming steamed buns into Jiang Ting's hand:

"You are the only one who didn't eat instant noodles at night. You are used to it. Hurry up and grab a couple of bean paste buns."

Jiang Ting was slightly taken aback.

Yan Xie said: "Eat and sleep for a while, Ma Xiang don't look at the materials, and nourish his energy. We still have a tough battle to fight when Li Yuxin is interrogated."

·

Daqie was speeding on the road in the middle of the night with flashing police lights, like a solitary boat splitting the Black Sea.

Yan Yan folded his clothes and leaned against the rear window, only to hear Ma Xiang chatting with Xiao Zhang from the front row. After a while, Ma Xiang tilted his head and snored softly; The sound of the plastic bag was still rustling, it was Jiang Ting eating a steamed bun, and the sweet bean paste smell filled the backseat.

After a few more minutes, the subtle movement of the cat eating disappeared, and a warm weight gradually spread from the side.

Yan Yan opened half of his eyelids, only to see that Jiang Ting's sweet buns were half eaten, and he was so sleepy that he fell asleep, and was gradually leaning towards his shoulder.

"..."

Yan Mao's arm was suddenly as heavy as a thousand weights. He moved several times, and finally lifted it up slowly, carefully wrapping his arms around Jiang Ting's shoulders, allowing him to lean more comfortably in his arms.

The long road seemed endless, the carriage was slightly bumpy, and the dim street lights passed away quickly from both sides.

The night of the city and the lights of thousands of houses were left far behind, and the city bureau building where they set off was already submerged in the sea of ​​lights.However, Yun Tao's treacherous case and the dangerous and unpredictable future seem to be receding far away at this moment like the ebbing tide under the moonlight.

In the whole world, only the back seat in front of me is left, which is dark, small and private, and the warmth that rises and falls calmly with my breath in my arms.

Yan Yan opened his eyes, although he didn't know what he was looking at, as if he was in a dream-like void.

He slowly turned his head to look at Jiang Ting.

Jiang Ting's body was softer than expected, which was a little unexpected to Yan Xie. He had imagined Jiang Tui to be thin, tough and sharp, but he didn't expect that it was actually as soft as a fluffy feather.His breathing was light and even, and the street lamps that kept sweeping back shone a little bit of light on his black temples, and there was a faintly pleasant smell in his hair. After sniffing for a long while, Yan Yan was fascinated, and then she was sure that it was her own shampoo. smell.

Washing your hair every day is really important, Yan Xie thought.

He stared at Jiang Ting's sleeping side cheek, and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind: Would a person like him have soft and delicate skin?

Yan Yan stroked the hair on Jiang Ting's forehead with his thumb, moved his bangs back and forth, and the soft strands of hair kept rubbing against his fingertips.He didn't know what he was doing. This action made all the drowsiness and fatigue disappear miraculously. By the time he realized it, his thumb had slowly rubbed along Jiang Ting's forehead to the corner of his cheek and mouth. Lips keep lingering.

Yan Yan thought in a daze, this feeling is really strange.

Although they have only been together for less than two months, it seems that they have known each other for a long time.It's been so long that as long as I think of the existence of Jiang, I feel like I have an extra concern in my heart, which is both heavy and light, both troublesome and anticipating, difficult to let go and don't want to leave, as if the whole person is trapped in a sticky dream .

"you……"

Jiang Ting muttered something, but didn't hear clearly, and rubbed his face against Yan Mao's shoulder.

Yan Mo's fingers stopped instantly.

The vehicle was still galloping, the back seat was bumping regularly, and Ma Xiang's unconscious shouts came from the front row.After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Ting curled up into a nest, as if he had found a more comfortable and relaxed position in his sleep.

Yan Yan kept looking at him without blinking until he fell into a deep sleep again, and his eyes were attracted by a little sticky at the corner of his mouth—it was bean paste the size of a grain of rice.

"..."

Yan Yan's Adam's apple slid down hard, but the saliva seemed to be dry.

As if he had been cast some kind of spell, he held his breath and raised his hand, twisted the little bean paste, and sucked his fingertips in a mysterious way.

A hint of sweetness bloomed in the mouth.

It's really sweet, he thought in a daze.

Suddenly at this moment, he sensed that something was wrong.

——Jiang Ting's breathing stopped for a moment.

The air suddenly froze, no one moved, all reactions seemed to be the pause button was pressed, only the sound of Daqie's steady speeding forward was suddenly very clear.

Jiang Ting didn't open his eyes, Yan Yan's hand was hanging in the air.

I don't know how long it took before Yan Xie asked very slightly through the cracks in his lips:

"...Are you awake?"
