Temporary partner

The two drove for more than six hours, and when they arrived at the place, they went door-to-door to inquire. They were very tired, but unfortunately they still found nothing. It was getting dark soon, every house was hung with red lanterns, and occasionally there would be the sound of firecrackers. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and during this period they are all living and boarding in the police force, busy with cases, so they have no time to take care of it. He tugged at the ear of Team Leader Ji who was flushed from the cold: "Let's go, leader, the Chinese New Year is over."

During Chinese New Year, many stores were closed. The two of them drove the car and kept looking, and finally found one with the lights on. They didn't want to do business at first, but seeing the two of them hungry, I couldn't bear it.Turned on the stove again.

Chinese people are the most particular about eating dumplings, and Zu Tianyang beckoned for several kinds of fillings: "Come here, team leader Ji, since I came here, I eat your food and drink your food every day. For the Chinese New Year, I treat you. You are open to eat." , That's enough!"

Ji Yan looked at the empty restaurant and said, "Is this the first time you celebrate the New Year outside?"

Zu Tianyang squinted his eyes: "Where the hell, I'm outside every year..."

Ji Yan said: "That's right, it's impossible for someone in this line of work to go home for the New Year."

Zu Tianyang poured Ji Yan a glass of wine: "No."

Ji Yan stretched out his hand to block it: "Tomorrow I have to run the case."

Zu Tianyang said: "Hey, let's have a drink. I have known you for so long, and this is the first time I drink with you."

Seeing that he took a bet, Ji Yan let out a sigh of relief: "It's not that I'm busy, but that I don't have a home."

Ji Yan looked at him, not knowing what to answer for a while: "I'm sorry..."

Zu Tianyang looked at his cautious appearance, and laughed: "What are you thinking! My parents are fine, one is in the United States and the other is in Hong Kong. They always live apart in two places, so they agreed to divorce. I fell in love with each other when I was young, but later I went to sea, saw more of the world, and lost interest in family life. I lived with my grandparents when I was young, and occasionally flew to see them. The relationship between the two of them is so strong. It’s not bad, if they all return to China by chance, they will live together for a while to relive family life, it’s quite different.”

It's really different, it's not surprising that such heartless parents can raise a person like Zu Tianyang, Ji Yan pursed his lips: "Well... also, it's pretty good."

The dumplings were not yet cooked, Zu Tianyang chewed the peanuts with the wine: "When I was young, I grew up with my grandparents, they were all old revolutionaries, so I received orthodox education in my mind. The old man is gone After that, I went to the police academy, because food and housing were in charge, so I wouldn’t be alone every day when I went home. Later, my dad insisted that I go to study in a capitalist country. At that time, I had already become a criminal policeman, so I simply I went to the university over there, and took a job to study criminal investigation reasoning and criminal psychology. After several years of study, I came back just in time for the crackdown in China, and many unresolved cases were uncovered. It was also due to luck and everyone's hard work. If you crack a few, you will be set up as a model. It’s all exaggeration and bragging.”

Ji Yan took a sip of liquor and said, "I thought you were born like this."

Zu Tianyang said: "What kind of nature is it? When I first came, you looked down on me, right? You thought I was a second-generation ancestor, my grandfather was an old cadre, and my parents were wealthy businessmen. I have read a few books and went to school for a few days. Foreigners are not good at studying. They are not as good as domestic rote cramming education, so my grades are higher. I think it is because the food in foreign countries is too bad, so I only If you want to go back to China, it just so happens that the higher authorities are setting a good example. They think that I don’t worship foreigners, and that I am willing to return to serve the motherland after learning all the skills, so they recommend me. In fact, your analysis is right. Those big cases were solved by brothers together. Yes, we have been discussing and reconnaissance together day and night. At best, I was helping them sort out the case and conjecture. I happened to get a few ideas right, which made the media hype even worse. In fact, this kind of life is quite tiring. Yes, it’s hard for them to eat, and the honor is mine, not to mention the brothers are not convinced, no matter what the case is, as long as the local government can’t solve it, I will clean up the mess. It’s embarrassing for me to go there, and I put a smile on some places , treat me as an inspection team to deal with, eat good food and treats, and do nothing. Some places simply pile up cases on me, thinking that as long as I look around casually, they will solve the case. If the case is solved, it is nothing more than another person Second-class merit, if the case is not solved, how many people are waiting to use me as an excuse, no one can solve the case that even eagle eyes can't solve."

Zu Tianyang is usually a chatterbox, and it is rare for him to be so serious. Ji Yan listens silently, and occasionally touches his glass with him and takes a sip of white wine.

"In the beginning, I enjoyed the process of solving the case. Finding the truth can help the victim get justice. Listen to Xiao Liu and his school's introduction to Hawkeye. They have a photographic memory, and any case will be solved easily in the hands of Hawkeye. What? Possibly, how could there be such a person? In the past few years, every time a case is solved, he is praised more and more miraculously. He is almost a master of Qigong, and he can cure all diseases with a simple push. In fact, the pressure is getting bigger and bigger every day. Especially when solving a case, people will be questioned if you procrastinate for a day, and life is hard."

The dumplings were served, steaming hot, Ji Yan pushed the dumplings towards him: "It's time to eat."

Zu Tianyang narrowed his eyes and smiled: "But you are different. I never wanted a partner. I think I can do it by myself. I have been alone before, and there is no problem in solving the case. But after meeting you I don't think so anymore. You are different from others, you don't regard me as Hawkeye, and you don't regard me as the second generation ancestor. You investigate the case with me, and our thinking and frequency are always at the same point. There is a tacit understanding, and we can Supporting each other makes me fully trust. Ji Yan, you are the most suitable person for me, and I am honored to be your partner."

Ji Yan smiled wryly, Zu Tianyang's words were still out of tune, but his expression was different from his usual idleness. He put down his chopsticks, thought for a while and said, "What's appropriate? We've been together for half a year, and the case hasn't been solved yet. I don't think you've got anyone caught."

Zu Tianyang said: "Come on, if it weren't for you, I would have found a way to transfer back." He raised his glass: "Come on, respect your partner."

Ji Yan reached out and touched him: "Respect, partner."

In the evening, Zu Tianyang found a hotel nearby, and the two of them opened a standard room. The conditions of the hotel were better than those in the group, and the heating was adequate. After drinking, he became very excited. Ji Yan lay down Looking at the ceiling on the bed: "Do you want to continue looking for tomorrow?"

Zu Tianyang said: "You always have to find it and have a look. After finally catching a clue, you have to read it before you can be sure."

Ji Yan said: "Well, I'm just afraid that we are still doing futile work. Every time we seem to see hope, but we can't stand up to scrutiny. In the end, it's still nothing."

Zu Tianyang said: "The truth will always be there, and it will not be buried because of the passage of time. When we first met, what did I tell you, there are many possibilities in a case, and we put each possibility All attempts have failed, the remaining one must be the truth, and we will definitely find it. We have not stagnated during this period of time. Although we have made many detours, at least we have ruled out many possibilities. Persevere, and we will definitely solve the case of."

Ji Yan sighed: "En."

The room gradually quieted down. They had been running around for a day, and their bodies were quite tired. Ji Yan soon fell into a hazy light sleep state, at least his body was already in a deep sleep.The spirit is still in a state of thinking, probably because he uses his brain too much during the day, and his cerebellum is still working at night. He subconsciously thinks about what to do tomorrow, and suddenly he wakes up with a start and says to Zu Tianyang: "Can you To her school?"

Zu Tianyang has fallen asleep in a daze: "En?"

Ji Yan said: "Isn't she a high school graduate? Go to her school and you will definitely find clues."

Zu Tianyang rubbed his face and smiled lightly: "Okay, I'll check it out tomorrow."
