"Did Xia Qiwen tell you about Lin Hudan's death other than telling you about his death?" After eating, Shen Yuwei sat on the sofa in the living room and continued playing his game. After Gu Zezhao answered the phone, walked up to him and asked.

In order to suspend the game, Shen Yu tilted his head and thought for a while: "It seems that it should be homicide, and there are many injuries caused by violent beatings on his body... There seems to be nothing else. He also said that someone accidentally found the body in the river today .”

Gu Zezhao: "Didn't mention anything else besides these?"

Shen Yu said, "It's true. What happened?"

Gu Zezhao sat down beside him: "Lin Hudan's apartment is on fire."

Shen Yuwei was startled: "Fire?"

Gu Zezhao nodded: "By the time the fire brigade arrived, the room was almost completely burned. It seemed that the fire was caused by a gas explosion."

This modus operandi sounded familiar, Shen Yuwei looked at Gu Zezhao hesitantly: "It can't be..."

"possibly is."

Shen Yu was silent for a moment, and said: "The soonest we can arrange tomorrow afternoon. We also have to prepare here, just in case." Shen Yu didn't ask much in order to understand what he meant by "preparation". Just nodded.

It rained all night.

Throughout the night, Shen Yu dreamed of the sound of pouring rain, and the dark clouds were pressing down. He sprinted in the rain, ran home along the unfamiliar road, and opened the doors urgently, but there was no one in the house. , he shouted loudly, but there was no answer.But even so, he kept rummaging through all the rooms until he opened one and found nothing under his feet.

The sudden feeling of falling made Shen Yu suddenly wake up from his dream. He opened his eyes, but felt that he was hugged by someone.It was Gu Zezhao.The other party seemed to have fallen asleep, but his hands kept patting Shen Yuwei's back soothingly. At this moment, he felt Shen Yuwei's movement, and he subconsciously adjusted his body following the other's movements, but still held Shen Yuwei's back. Wrap it tightly in your arms.

Shen Yu couldn't remember when Gu Zezhao arrived in his room, but the other party's embrace was too warm, making him lustful.What's more, when he opened his eyes, he noticed that his legs were wrapped around the opponent's body, and he didn't want to move away at all.He only thought for a few seconds, then curled into Gu Zezhao's arms again, and closed his eyes.

He thought he would suffer from insomnia, but hearing Gu Zezhao's gentle breathing, he soon fell into a deep sleep without dreaming again.

When I woke up again, it was already daylight.The rain didn't show any signs of weakening. Shen Yu lay in bed and didn't want to move because he heard the sound of the rain hitting the windowpane with the wind.He seemed to have had a very bad dream last night, but his memory was already blurred, he only vaguely remembered that he woke up in the middle of the night, as if he found himself curled up in someone else's arms——

Now he is alone in bed.Shen Yu rolled over on the bed and rolled the quilt into a flower roll, but his face was still red.

It just so happened that someone was knocking on the door outside, and Shen Yu stayed silent on the bed, thinking that the person outside the door would leave without getting a response, but he didn't know that the person opened the door directly after waiting for a few seconds.

Shen Yu didn't know how to react, so he closed his eyes subconsciously, pretending that he was still asleep.He vaguely felt that the man had only paused at the door, so he walked in quietly.Sometimes the more you want to suppress the heartbeat, the more joyful it will be. When you feel the other person's hand caressing his face, the sound of the heartbeat is comparable to the beating of a drum. Shen Yuwei is worried that Gu Zezhao will hear it later.

Gu Zezhao first touched Shen Yuwei's face lightly, and seeing that he didn't respond, he squeezed it lightly again. After waiting for a few seconds, Shen Yuwei thought he was leaving, but heard him whisper: "Nine o'clock!" It's time to wake up..."

Shen Yu was quite curious why he rarely heard him speak in this tone, and couldn't help but want to stay on the bed for a longer time, to see what else Gu Zezhao could do.Unexpectedly, as soon as he made this decision, he felt his lips were covered with warmth, but this happened very quickly, before Shen Yu could react, the warmth left.

Then came the sound of leaving footsteps, the door was gently closed from the outside, Shen Yu waited for a moment before opening his eyes, and reached out to touch his face - it was so hot that he could boil an egg.Just now Gu Zezhao was afraid that he had seen through that he was pretending to be asleep, but instead of revealing him, he did that.

Shen Yu caressed his lips, feeling a little distracted.But before he could think about it, there was another knock on the door: "Get up quickly, or I'll come in and lift the quilt."

He reluctantly agreed, got off the bed slowly, walked to the window with bare feet, and opened the curtains.The rain seemed to be smaller than when he just woke up.

"Can we see you today?" Shen Yu sat at the dining table after breakfast, and called Xia Qiwen while drinking tea.

"Okay, when?"

"Three o'clock in the afternoon." Shen Yuwei told the other party the address that Gu Zezhao told him, and then said, "Only you?"

Xia Qiwen answered over there, his voice sounded very tired, Shen Yu was hesitating whether to care about it meaningfully, but he had already said goodbye over there.

"He sounds like he's not in a good mood." Shen Yuwei hung up the phone, looked at Gu Zezhao across the dining table, and said worriedly, "You won't be cheating, will you?"

Gu Zezhao said: "Don't worry, there is no need to be afraid of him."

Shen Yuwei has always had an inexplicable trust in Gu Zezhao, so naturally he would not ask any more questions and just nodded.

The meeting place was at a suburban villa of a friend of Gu Zezhao.When the villa is rarely inhabited by people, the cleaning work is very good on weekdays. However, although the decoration reveals the owner's wealth everywhere, it is not popular at all, and it looks very deserted.

Gu Zezhao went in familiarly, and led Shen Yu straight up to the second floor.Shen Yuwei felt a little strange following him: "Why are you so familiar with this area?"

Gu Zezhao said: "I've been here a few times before. This house belongs to An Zening."

"Involving him—" Shen Yu felt a little worried when he thought of the careers of An Zening and Lin Weibai.

"It's okay, he's not just an actor." Gu Zezhao reassured casually.He led Shen Yuwei directly to the penultimate room at the end of the corridor, opened the door, looked inside first, then turned sideways, motioning for Shen Yuwei to go in first.

It is said to be a study room, but there are not many books here. There are a few books randomly placed on the bookshelves against the wall. There is a round table in the middle of the room, and there are four wooden chairs beside the table.Shen Yu was already a little motion sick. At this time, the master was not around, so he went straight to one of the chairs and sat down without being polite.After a while, Gu Zezhao came in. He left the door open, walked over and sat beside Shen Yuwei.

There is no carpet in the corridor on the second floor, but the carpet in the study is very soft. Shen Yu moved his feet comfortably after sitting down, and looked at Gu Zezhao: "What time is it?"

Gu Zezhao raised his wrist and glanced at his watch: "It's still 5 minutes away."

The whole house was very quiet. At this moment, the two of them stopped talking. Except for the sound of wind and rain, there was no sound in the surroundings. It was not until the minute hand was about to point to the number "12" that they heard footsteps gradually approaching.Shen Yuwei suddenly understood why there was no carpet outside.

Not long after, a tired man wearing a black leather jacket appeared at the door with a cigarette in his mouth. He saw Shen Yuwei and Gu Zezhao sitting inside at a glance at the door. He walked in and sat down opposite them. A slight nod was a greeting.

In order for Shen Yu to introduce Gu Zezhao as his friend, Xia Qiwen didn't seem to care much about Gu Zezhao's background. He just nodded perfunctorily and put a file bag on the table: "This is what I said."

Shen Yu said, "Before that, I want to ask you a question."

Xia Qiwen seemed to have been prepared for a long time. He pinched the cigarette and flicked it into the ashtray: "You ask."

"Why help me?"

"Because I'm a policeman." Xia Qiwen said lightly.

"I'm afraid it's not the only reason." Shen Yu said.In the past, this reason was indeed enough to convince him, but after the police station experienced cynicism and implied threats, it could no longer be a reason.

"My own sister was killed by Pang Bin five years ago. I have been collecting evidence about him over the years." Xia Qiwen said, "Is this reason enough?"
