People often try to cover up what is obvious to outsiders.

Although this approach seems very stupid in the eyes of bystanders, the authorities are always happy with it.

Sometimes even the authorities themselves feel that they are deceiving themselves, but they cannot control their behavior.

Like the rest of my life right now.

After being exposed by Nie Qing's words, his first reaction was to quickly ask: "What third brother?"

"What do you think? Didn't Lian Xu always call you that?" Nie Qing said coldly, "Although I thought about it before, this should be the ranking of your organization's internal status. But what I didn't expect was that it was actually a trafficker. ｜Poison organization. It seems that Captain Qiu went to investigate you before, and it was not wronged."

"Ah Qing, as I said, I have never done anything I shouldn't have done. Don't you believe me?"

"Do you still have the capital to convince me?" Nie Qing turned around suddenly, her eyes fell on Yu Sheng's pale cheeks. "But I can't figure it out, if what you just told me is true, and my guess is correct, then the organization you're in now should be the same organization that Aunt Liang was undercover seven years ago. Why did you go in? Do you think you can find out the truth of the year just by sneaking in?"

Yu Sheng was silent after listening.About half a minute later, he took a deep breath and sighed, "It's better than sitting still and waiting for death."

"So you admit it?" Nie Qing turned around completely, crossed her legs and looked up at him.

Yu Sheng smiled wryly, "You already know, do I still need to hide it? That's right, the organization I'm currently in is the one my mother went undercover seven years ago. I also know that they sell | drugs. But Ah Qing, I can use the reputation of my parents as a guarantee, I have never done it."

Hearing Yu Sheng's last words, Nie Qing's eyes trembled slightly.

"Ah Qing, don't you still believe me? What I'm telling you now is the truth."

"I believe it." Nie Qing continued after a while, "But what's the use of trusting me alone? Narcotics control, criminal police, and even the entire Public Security Bureau, how many people do you think will believe a No. [-] inside a drug trafficking syndicate?" The character has never been involved in the drug trade? Is this possible? Do you think that the gang of the anti-drug detachment are easy to fool? Don’t tell me that if you open your mouth and say 'I have never done it', they will nod and say 'Is that so? Got it', and then let you go free and easy??"

"I've never had such an unrealistic fantasy." Yu Sheng sighed softly.

"Then what do you think?" Nie Qing's eyes suddenly became sharp. "You know what you are going to face, but you still jump into the fire pit without hesitation. What do you want to do?"

Yu Sheng: "Didn't you just say that, in order to investigate the truth—"

"Is it okay to use any means to investigate the truth?!" Nie Qing abruptly cut off Yu Sheng's words, "Who are those people, how dare you deal with them?? Why do they recognize you as the 'third brother'?? You should Everyone is a fool!!"

"Do you think I'm willing to live on the tip of a knife every day?!" Yu Sheng finally couldn't help shouting loudly.But looking at Nie Qing, his aura has dropped again, as if he felt ashamed.

After a moment of silence, Yu Sheng said helplessly, "Ah Qing, do you think I have a choice?"

"Of course you have. You can come back to me." Nie Qing suppressed his emotions.

However, Yu Sheng disapproved and shook his head helplessly. "Three years ago, I was shot in the head. Immortality is already a fortune teller. You still expect me to be resurrected with full blood after two days of rest?"

Nie Qing did not say a word.

Yu Sheng went on to say: "After receiving the rescue, although I was lucky enough to save my life, I still lay in bed like a vegetable for more than half a year. It will be a year later when I can finally walk normally. I know, You probably want to ask me why I didn't come back when I recovered from my injury. To be honest, at that time, I couldn't go anymore. "

"Can't go?" Nie Qing's voice was full of restrained confusion.

Yu Sheng nodded slightly.

"Ah Qing, you should be able to guess who the person who saved me was. I have to do something to repay the grace of saving my life. In addition, after I woke up, I also found out some things one after another. And these things..." Yu Sheng's voice Suddenly stopped.

Nie Qing suddenly felt a depression of unknown origin.He realized that Yu Sheng's next words would never be what he would like to hear, but he had to listen to it.

"At times like this, there's no need to hesitate," he said.

Yu Sheng glanced at him, then lowered his eyes to stare at the quilt, and said after a while: "Ah Qing, I didn't know how to come back and face you at that time..."

"You finish in one breath." Nie Qing clenched his fists, "Don't lay the groundwork, and don't go around the corner. Tell me, what is the reason why you would rather stay in the fire pit than come back."

"Ah Qing, why has your reaction become dull? Can't you guess what you heard here?"

Yu Sheng's eyes suddenly became desperate.

"Didn't I just say that, Lian Hai told me that the person who betrayed my mother to the drug trafficking syndicate back then was her direct boss. He was a policeman. You guessed it, at that time, the Anti-drug Corps of the Public Security Bureau of Y Province Who is your captain?"

"...Impossible." After a few seconds of silence, Nie Qing raised his head and repeated more firmly: "Impossible."

"You said 'impossible', do you have any basis? At least I have a basis for 'possible'." Yu Sheng's mouth twitched slightly. "That level of secrecy is not accessible to just any police officer. Moreover, my mother was not a member of the anti-drug detachment back then. She obviously belonged to the Economic Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Bureau. Why was she sent to deal with drugs? Undercover for the group? In my opinion, with the position of a mere branch leader, I’m afraid I don’t have this power.”

"Then you have no reason to directly suspect the captain." Nie Qing stood up from the floor unconsciously, looking down at Yu Sheng with a condescending sense of oppression.

"Ah Qing, he's not the only one I suspect." Yu Sheng didn't back down, and stared straight at him, but his expression could almost be described as loveless.

Nie Qing's heart was beating harder and harder. He heard the "thumping" sound in his ears, so he subconsciously wanted to cover it loudly. "Who else do you doubt?! You really said it!" He yelled at Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng looked at him with eyes as calm as stagnant water, and used questions, but in Nie Ting's ears, they were more certain than any declarative sentences.

"A police officer from the Economic Investigation Detachment suddenly disappeared from the police force. As the captain, should I ask? Or investigate her whereabouts?"

Yu Sheng spoke very slowly.The sound seemed to stop flowing, allowing the words to condense in the air one by one for Nie Qing to see clearly.

"But Ah Qing, do you still remember that when my mother suddenly lost contact and my father was going crazy, but Uncle Nie—" Yu Sheng paused, "that is, at that time, the captain of the Economic Investigation Detachment, I He's directly leading, but he doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all. Don't you think it's strange? With the relationship between our two families, even if Uncle Nie doesn't help find someone in that situation, he shouldn't be so indifferent? Unless, he never From the very beginning, I knew where my mother was going and what she was doing."

"Enough." Nie Qing said in a deep voice.

Yu Sheng smiled wryly, "You made me finish the sentence in one breath. Since I opened my mouth, let me have the beginning and the end. Ah Qing, you said it was a coincidence that my mother's direct leader in the city bureau was Uncle Nie, which caused her accident. The commander-in-chief of that operation was Nie Gongping, the captain of the anti-drug team of the Public Security Bureau and Uncle Nie's brother. How could it not be suspected that the same incident involved two people who were so closely related at the same time? "

"You can't draw conclusions just because you suspect it!" Nie Qing's eyes became angry and unbelievable, "You have no evidence at all, why should you accuse someone so serious? Let's not mention my uncle for now, you actually suspect my father It has something to do with Aunt Liang's case, do you know what you're talking about?!"

"I know. Of course I know." Yu Sheng grasped the edge of the quilt tightly with both hands, smoothing out all the folds on the quilt. "I've been thinking about the ins and outs of this for more than two years. I know better than anyone what the assumptions I'm making at this moment mean. Those things that you find unbelievable and unacceptable, for me back then, It's the same..."

When Yu Sheng said this, he took a deep breath.He stopped to look at Nie Qing's reaction, but Nie Qing stared at him with her lips tightly pursed.

Yu Sheng's eyes couldn't help but dim.

"Ah Qing, I know that after you hear these words, whether you believe it or not, you will feel very painful." Yu Sheng said in a rough voice, "So, you should be able to understand why I couldn't come back to you at that time. ... Regardless of whether my speculation just now is correct or not, once the seeds of doubt are planted, it is not so easy to get rid of them. It is impossible for me to speculate whether your uncle and Uncle Nie are the enemies who killed my parents, and at the same time continue to follow You hang out and pretend there's nothing between you and them—"

"What about now?" Nie Qing asked suddenly.

It was like a fuse that had been buried for a long time but was instantly ignited.

Knowing that there was no such thing in the room, Yu Sheng seemed to hear a series of small explosions coming from his ears.

Seeing that the thread was getting shorter and shorter, and the flame was getting closer, he couldn't avoid it.

Because, the end of this lead is on him.

"Now? Have your suspicions changed?"

Nie Qing took a step closer to him, knelt on the bed with one knee, and pressed his upper body down towards him.

Yu Sheng supported his back with one hand, sat upright, and answered with difficulty: "No."

"Since it hasn't changed, why did you suddenly change your mind and come back? Don't you have any psychological burden facing me now?"

When Nie Qing said this, his face was already very close to Yu Sheng, and the distance was no more than a punch.But at this moment, they are very clear to each other that they have absolutely no intention of being intimate, not even the slightest intimacy.

The closer the distance, the more intense the oppression, and the more severe the torture.

Regardless of whether Yu Sheng's previous discomfort was real or fake, it all came true now.

His lips were extremely dry, his eyes were so astringent that he could hardly open them, his whole body was in pain or soreness, but it always made him restless.

"Ah Qing..." Yu Sheng just wanted to beg, but he swallowed the words again.

He knew that today Nie Qing would not leave him any room for change.If he still can't speak clearly, Nie Qing might not give him another chance from now on.

"Ah Qing." Yu Sheng changed his tone, looked at Nie Qing who was also in a complicated mood, suddenly closed his eyes, and said with an attitude as if he was going all out: "The reason why I came back this time is because I hope to get Your help. I want you to help me investigate the real cause of my parents' death. The water of this case is too deep, and it is difficult for me to find out the core things from the outside alone. Therefore, I need someone who can move freely inside the police In this way, we may be able to gain more effective access to the relevant inside information of the case back then, and also obtain more direct evidence about my parents being framed."

"You mean the direct evidence of being framed by my uncle and my father, right?" Nie Qing asked quietly.

Yu Sheng felt that his chest was so oppressed that he could hardly breathe.He barely opened his eyelids and looked at Nie Qing, "Yes. Of course, if it wasn't for them, we could use evidence to prove our innocence."

"Oh." Nie Qing responded lightly, her eyes seemed to fall lightly on Yu Sheng's face, but it was like a sharp thin blade that scraped him painfully.

He stared at Yu Sheng for a few seconds, and then asked: "So, do you now want me to go with you to investigate the evidence that my father and uncle betrayed their friends, colleagues, and even the entire police force?"

"It's not exactly like this..." Nie Qing's expression at this moment made Yu Sheng feel chills in his heart, and he couldn't help shivering.

But Nie Qing has already continued to say: "Yu Sheng, for such a long time, you have been willing to stay in the drug den, call the drug dealers brothers and sisters, and finally become the number three person in the drug trafficking group. Live your own life." You are so successful, you don't contact me under the banner of 'difficult to face', even if you know that I am going crazy looking for you, you can still bear not to show your face. But suddenly, you find You asked me for something, and you came back with such a swagger, as if nothing had happened. At first, you refused to tell me even a word of the truth, but today you finally said it, and forced me to listen to a lot of unwarranted guesses. Now You actually have the nerve to ask me to help you with a calm face. Who do you take me for? What do you take yourself for?"

"Ah Qing... I've told you all the reasons. If you can't accept it, I'll—"

"What about you? What can you do?" Nie Qing suddenly sneered twice. "When you made your decision, you didn't consider whether I could accept it. Is it necessary to talk about these nonsense now?"

"Of course I thought about you—"

"Stop talking. I don't want to hear it."

Nie Qing stood up straight, with the expression "that's all I can say" on his face.

He raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, then picked up the coat that was put on the single chair just now, and threw it back on his shoulder.

"Yu Sheng, I said before that I won't drive you away again. I will do what I say. However, I really don't want to stay in the same room with you anymore. So, you stay, I'll go."

"Ah Qing——" Yu Sheng didn't have time to say the word "wait", Nie Qing had already strode out, only to hear the door being closed with a "bang".

By this time, Yu Sheng's physical strength had reached its limit.

With his right hand, he tightly grasped the front of his left chest, and curled up on the bed into a small ball that was extremely disproportionate to his body.

My whole body hurts from the inside out.
