Pushing open the door, although he already had a premonition that Lin Dong was gone, seeing the tidy and empty living room, Tang Zhexue still had a sore nose due to an uncontrollable sense of loss.After entering the room, he put the thermal bag containing the lock box on the small dining table, and he looked blankly at the bedroom.The bed was made evenly, and the quilt and pillowcases were pulled without a single wrinkle, as if nothing had happened at night, without leaving any traces.

——You are always like this, making decisions by yourself, without considering my mood.

Slumped on the sofa, he took out his mobile phone and stared down at the word "Lin Dong" in the call log. The muscles on the sides of his cheeks tensed up slightly, and his jaw drew out a sharp line.Move your fingertips slightly, touch the screen lightly, and the interface will jump to the exhalation state.The few seconds of waiting for the connection seemed extremely long, and finally the countdown after connection appeared under Lin Dong's name, but he forgot to lift the phone for a moment.

"Hey?"

An extremely subtle sound came out, and Tang Zhexue reacted, put the receiver to his ear, and asked dryly, "Where are you?"

"It's back in the game."

Lin Dong's voice was the same, and to Tang Zhexue's ears, it seemed like someone who had just embraced warmly a few hours before leaving, was not worth nostalgic for him.

"It was agreed to bring you food back, why didn't you tell me in advance when you went to the bureau?"

"..."

Tang Zhexue didn't expect to hear the answer, but just smiled wryly: "Team Shi called me just now, and you're determined to blow me away, right?"

Lin Dong was startled: "I didn't—"

"I'm not stupid!" Tang Zhexue tried his best to suppress the sense of loss, grabbed the phone and shook his eyes closed, and finally found an outlet for the resentment that had been suppressed all the way: "Have you been planning this for many days? Huh? Since you know Could it be that you wanted to blow me away from the day the poisonous bee committed the crime? Lin Dong, I said, don’t lie to me! Don’t lie to me! Even if it’s for my own good! Don’t lie to me! Lies! You shouldn't have no confidence in the other party! What is this? Ah? Are you afraid of my death? Are you afraid that I will become a decoration on your table like Qi Hao?"

"Tang Zhexue!" Lin Dong's roar was obviously trembling, "Be mature! Think for me! I have suffered enough! Think for your mother and your grandma too! Don't you want them to be gray-haired? Send the black-haired man?! After death, you will be light, but have you ever thought how many people will have their hearts broken for you!?"

"—"

Now Tang Zhexue was choked with breath, unable to refute, and could not refute.It's hard to let go of Lin Dong's feelings, but his mother and grandma also love him, and they love him regardless of anything in return.How could he make them suffer for his senseless sacrifice?That would be too selfish, even stupid.

Some feelings are destined to have no future.

A heavy sigh came from the receiver: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have unrealistic fantasies...don't worry about work matters, I'll explain to Team Chen, you go back to the sub-bureau and step on the ground first." Work hard, if there is an opportunity in the future, I will see if I can find a relationship and transfer you to the city bureau."

Water drops fell on the back of the hand on the knee, and Tang Zhexue realized that he didn't know when he was crying.He wiped his face with his backhand, exhaled with trembling lips: "Lin Dong, I am not with you for promotion, I want to be with you forever, to see you smile when you are happy, to hold you when you are sad... I'm not someone who can't protect myself, but you don't believe that, do you?"

——If the poisonous bee thinks, you are already dead, and he put you in the lens before, maybe the next time it will be a sniper lens, you know?

Swallowing the words lingering on his lips, Lin Dong sighed slowly and helplessly: "It's not that I don't believe it, but that there are some things that I can't afford to gamble... let's end it like this, everyone is an adult, there is nothing we can't let go of." .”

"Can you let me go?" Tang Zhexue asked with a wry smile.He has never tried to redeem the relationship, but in this period, it is too difficult to give up.

Lin Dong murmured: "...time will dilute everything..."

"Others will, but you won't." Tang Zhexue punctured his self-suggestion indifferently, "If time has diluted your pain, you should quit the task force and leave the tracking of poisonous bees to Others, they must be able to give justice to the sacrificed comrades, right? You have a choice, Lin Dong, but your choice is to give up on me. Think about it carefully, your current state is what the poisonous bee wants , he is controlling you, making you fear his existence, and you can only live alone in the world."

"Everything that happened to me, if it were you, wouldn't you want to catch him with your own hands?"

"I think, but if there is someone around me who I want to spend my life with, I will definitely consider the other person's feelings."

"...I'm sorry, I'm a selfish person."

"No, you are not selfish, you are stubborn..." Tang Zhexue understood that no matter what he said, he could not shake Lin Dong's determination.Swallowing the bitterness in his mouth, he raised the corners of his mouth with difficulty: "Team leader, don't say sorry anymore, I know you are doing it for my own good, and I also learned a lot from you in the unsolved case team. Brother Nan even praised my thinking before. I have become sharper...Really, I am very grateful to you, I will always remember every case I have handled in the cold case team, and I will always remember...the days when I was with you."

Before Lin Dong could speak again, he hung up the communication, dropped the phone, buried his face in his palm, and rubbed it vigorously.Can't compete, seven lives, their sacrifices left indelible scars in Lin Dong's life.He once thought that as long as he held the other person's hand tightly, he could bring the person who was huddled alone in a dark corner to the sunlight.However, no matter how far he drags Lin Dong, the sunlight will never really shine into the other's heart.

However, it is not reconciled to give up at this point. It is obvious that the two love each other, but why can't they stay together safely?

After calming down a little, Tang Zhexue stood up, picked up his cell phone again, and called Luo Jianan.Yes, his strength is limited, but he should never give up lightly.Only by catching the poisonous bee as soon as possible and releasing the shackles that imprisoned Lin Dong, can they have a future to speak of.

"Erji? Why?" Luo Jianan sounded like he was drinking well.

After wiping his face, Tang Zhexue said in a flat tone, "Brother Nan, I'll be back at the branch tomorrow morning."

Luo Jianan was half sober: "Huh? So suddenly?"

"Well, oh yes, I will go to the city bureau the day after tomorrow to hand in the gun, are you there?"

"It should be."

"Sure, then please make a backup copy of all the materials of this case at hand, and I will go get it from you when the time comes."

"No, Team Lin doesn't have that? You can't get it from him."

"He's the one who let me go."

"What? Wait, you two are... separated?" Luo Jianan was completely sober.

Hearing this, Tang Zhexue narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly remembered something.He took the phone and walked around the room, and finally a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: The anti-theft door of his house does not need to be locked with a key. After hitting it, he lifts the door handle and it will be locked. However, Lin Dong did not No spare key was left.

—Did you forget?still……

"No, it's just a temporary separation for a while, he will figure it out."

He said to Luo Jianan.



Tang Zhexue didn't see Lin Dong's Decepticon in the parking lot when he went back to the city bureau to hand over his gun on Tuesday afternoon.He went to the office of the unsolved case team to pack some things, and left a note for Lin Dong, telling him to drink the blood-enriching oral liquid on time, and to eat at a fixed time.

He endured it, and did not send messages or make calls, so as not to embarrass the other party.

The Bureau has added more manpower to the Serious Crime Squad. Now Luo Jianan and Lu Yuanqiao don't have to follow up, and instead assist the Drug Enforcement Division in tracking down the Dong Xinlan mentioned by the mouse.Seeing Tang Zhexue enter the room, Luo Jianan immediately turned on the complaint mode, complaining how much Zhuang Yu made him want to overthrow the table.

"Team leader Zhuang has been discharged from the hospital?" Tang Zhexue was a little surprised.When I went to see Zhuang Yu before, he looked so weak that he couldn't get out of bed because no one was supporting him. It's only been a few days, and he's back to work again.

"Cut, it's as if he wouldn't be able to turn around without the earth, and he would be disbanded without the city bureau." Luo Jianan rolled his eyes angrily, "Can't he take care of his illness? He must come back to make trouble for me."

Tang Zhexue was in a hurry: "It's all for work, Brother Nan, where are the materials?"

"Oh, here." Luo Jianan handed him a USB flash drive, looked around to confirm that no one was listening to them, and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter with you and Team Lin? Qi Ming and Mr. I said, Lin Dong hasn't been to the office for two days."

Tang Zhexue's heart skipped a beat, and his fingers on the phone tightened slightly - he hasn't shown up for two days, so something happened, right?

This thought made him restless, thanked Luo Jianan in a hurry, he left the office of the crime team and went to the corridor, held up his mobile phone and hesitated for a moment, then dialed Lin Dong.Fortunately, the phone was picked up after three rings, and the moment he heard the other party's voice, his nose was a little tight again.

"What's the matter?" He asked in a cold, business-like manner.

Tang Zhexue took a deep breath, and said in a calm tone, "I came to the city bureau to hand over the gun. I heard Brother Nan said that you haven't been in the office for two days, so I just want to see where you are."

"I'm handling a case outside," Lin Dong sighed, "Don't call me if it's nothing important, I'll be fine."

"...then you drive carefully."

"know."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Dong firmly grasped the steering wheel, took several deep breaths, and tried to suppress the heat in his eyes.After hanging up the phone that day, he had already blacklisted Tang Zhexue, but within 5 minutes, he canceled the blacklist restriction.I wanted to delete my WeChat contacts, but I didn't do it, and I didn't even delete the chat history.In the past two days, as long as he didn't drive, he would check his mobile phone every other meeting, but there was no message or missed call from the other party.When the call was first connected, the car screen showed that the caller was Tang Zhexue, and his heartbeat suddenly soared to a frequency that made his throat tighten.

Shit, he scolded himself.Obviously he decided to give up, but now it's like he has a crush on someone, and he is eagerly looking forward to the other party contacting him.But Tang Zhexue said a long time ago that it is impossible to ask people to change their minds.So even if you contact him, it's probably just temporary unwillingness at best.

He lit a cigarette, and when his frantic heartbeat calmed down, he put out the cigarette butt and opened the door to get out of the car, and walked towards the delivery point across the street.By tracking the information of the courier number, it shows that the courier who sent the photo was received from this site, and there is no record before.It should be the form filled in by the sender here, sealed and delivered directly by express.

The receiving and dispatching stations are generally monitored to prevent the loss of goods.When Lin Dong entered the door, he saw a camera on the door frame, and felt a little relieved.I showed my ID to the site supervisor and explained my purpose of coming, but I heard a bad news——

"Our monitor has been broken for more than a month, and no one has come to fix it. Hey wait, let me answer the phone first...Hello? What? It broke on the overhead again! I—wait for me to call you a tow truck .”

The supervisor was busy answering the phone, and was a little absent-minded when talking to Lin Dong.Since monitoring is useless, Lin Dong had no choice but to ask other staff members. Generally speaking, if an individual comes to the receiving and dispatching station to send a separate courier, then someone should have an impression of him.

The supervisor waved his hand while answering the phone: "Ask whatever you want, I'll be busy first."

I asked three staff who dispatched and received bills in a row, but they all said that they didn't remember such a person.Although it is not a big courier company, there are thousands of packages received every day, and everyone is too busy to look up, let alone pay special attention to a customer who meets by chance.

Not reconciled to the clue being cut off like this, Lin Dong squeezed into the pile to ask the sorter again.It is said that the sorter does not care about filling in the form, but it is better to have little hope than no hope. This is the philosophy that Tang Zhexue has always insisted on, and it is also the investigation method that must be implemented as a criminal investigator.

The cargo yard is taller than a person, and the boxes have different shapes, and the high ones look precarious.Lin Dong tried his best not to touch the packing box, otherwise it would feel like it would collapse if touched.In the cargo pile, there was a sorter in gray-blue overalls, with his waist buried, and was using a code scanning gun to pass the packages one by one.

"Sir, may I ask you a few questions?" Lin Dong held up his work card when the other party turned to look at him.

The man probably didn't see clearly, and moved forward two steps. Lin Dong noticed that the other person's legs and feet were not flexible, and his right foot limped slightly when walking.He moved his eyes up along the dusty and slightly oily overalls, and saw "Zhang Zhuo" written on the other party's badge.Further up, there was a face smeared with sweat and dust, unshaven on the chin, and disheveled hair with a little white hair mixed in between. Generally speaking, he was a middle-aged man who was not well-groomed.

But the shape of his slightly squinted eyes is beautiful, and the eyelashes are long, as thick as two brushes.The bridge of the nose is straight, the facial features are well-rounded, the body is straight, the shoulders are straight, and if it can be well-groomed, it must be a good appearance.

"Police?" The other party raised his face and blinked at Lin Dong in confusion, "I didn't do anything wrong, did I?"

Lin Dong raised his hand, signaling to the other party not to be nervous: "That's it, do you have the impression that about five or six days ago, someone came to send a courier, man, just send a photo."

"..." Brows frowned slightly, Zhang Zhuo thought about it, then shook his head, "I have no impression, besides, you can see the pile of boxes, and I can't see the front desk..."

This is true, Lin Dongmo sighed, and was about to ask other people, when he suddenly heard an exclamation from behind: "The box is about to fall!"

The pile of boxes taller than a person was hit by something outside, and it shook in the blink of an eye.Lin Dong leaned his back against the pile of boxes, and turned his head reflexively when he heard the cry, but when he looked up, he saw seven or eight boxes being photographed!

"careful!"

Accompanied by the scream, Lin Dong felt a tightness on his shoulders, and his whole body was dragged backwards, and then he was turned 180 degrees on the spot by protection.

boom!

Dust rose in all directions, and the box wall collapsed completely, slapping the two people who were staying in the sorting area under it.
