"Boss Yu, you are also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves. Don't you know that it is not suitable to drink alcohol when you are injured?" After Yu Sheng asked for alcohol, Mu Xize asked without moving.

"Isn't it just that the healing is slower, and you can't die if you drink it." Yu Sheng looked up at him, "Yes or not?"

"There is no ready-made." Musize took a mouthful of food, chewed and swallowed slowly, and then said slowly: "However, I do have 75% and 95% alcohol here. If you really want to drink, I will Redeem it for you?"

"..."

Yu Sheng took a sip of the boiled water that Mu Xi Ze had just poured for him on the table, then put the cup back forcefully, and said, holding his breath, "Drink your sister."

Mu Xi Ze laughed, "You said this yourself, don't blame me for not being a landlord."

"Let's eat your rice." Yu Sheng rolled his eyes at him, lowered his head and took two or three mouthfuls of rice in the bowl.

But not long after eating, Mu Xi Ze's cell phone rang.Mu Xi Ze glanced at him, feeling a little helpless, he held it up and handed it to Yu Sheng: "Team Leader Nie's reasoning ability is good, and he found me so quickly. Do you want to pick it up?"

"Your phone number, you decide." Yu Sheng looked a little awkward.

"What if he asks you?"

"Just say I don't know."

"What if he's in a hurry?"

"……It's up to you."

"Then I'll just say I haven't seen you, and let him go all over the world to find you?"

"..."

When Mu Xi Ze was about to press the call button with a sly smile, Yu Sheng snatched his mobile phone.

"Hey."

"Asheng?" Nie Qing on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You really went to find Mu Xi Ze. Do you want him to help you check the case files from that year?"

"So what?" Yu Sheng laughed at himself, "Are you going to report me? I haven't done anything yet."

"...I didn't mean that." Nie Qing paused for a moment. "I'll go find you. I have something to tell you."

"Don't come here, talk about it another day—"

"Wait for me there." Nie Qing hung up before Yu Sheng could finish.

Yu Sheng put down his phone, staring at the darkened screen in a daze.

"What should we do? Go or stay?" Mu Xi Ze asked.

Yu Sheng thought for a while and sighed. "Wait, I'm too lazy to move."

"I think you are still soft-hearted." Mu Xi Ze laughed. "Just one more question, why did you two break up? Let me know in advance, so that I can avoid embarrassing topics later."

"It's not a fight, it's just a disagreement." Yu Sheng frowned, holding the water glass in his palm and rubbing it back and forth.After waiting for a while, he murmured to himself again: "If you have something to say to me... what will you say?"

"I'll know when he comes." Mu Xi Ze stood up after speaking, and began to clean up the dishes.Seeing that Yu Sheng also got up to help, he stopped him and pointed to the sofa: "You sit there and wait, I will get these."

It just so happened that Yu Sheng was really absent-minded at the moment, and after being stopped, he obediently walked to the sofa and nestled in.

It only took 10 minutes for Nie Qing to rush over.

As soon as he entered the door, he looked around first.After finding Yu Sheng sitting on the sofa, his expression relaxed slightly, as if he was relieved.

"Ah Sheng." Nie Qing walked up to Yu Sheng, squatted down and looked directly at him. "Give me a few minutes, please? Let's talk in private."

"It's not very convenient right now..." Yu Sheng twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and quickly glanced at Mu Xi Ze, "I can't let the master avoid it. How about I finish talking about him first, and talk about ours later. -"

"Say it now. Can you?" Nie Qing grabbed Yu Sheng's arm with all his strength, pleading in his eyes.

Seeing this, Mu Xi Ze said: "Then you talk first, I'm not in a hurry. I'll go to the room to avoid it. Don't worry, I will never eavesdrop. But when you finish talking, tell me to speak louder, or I won't hear you .”

"Why do you—" Yu Sheng choked on Mu Xi Ze's "intimate" statement, but unfortunately, the other party came into the room with an expression of "nothing to do with me".

In this way, Yu Sheng would have to face Nie Qing alone.

What happened last night came to mind again.

They looked at each other in silence and embarrassment for a long time, and finally Nie Qing said first: "Ah Sheng, can you not hide from me? I know, I don't even have the qualifications to ask you to forgive me for doing such a thing... ...I just want to make up for my mistakes as much as possible now, even if it is a little more. I have thought about it, since you want to find out the truth of the year, and I also want to prove the innocence of my father and my uncle, then we will Let's check together. I'd like to help you."

Yu Sheng listened silently to Nie Qing.After he finished speaking, Yu Sheng didn't respond in a hurry, he still lowered his head and thought carefully about Nie Qing's words.After about half a minute, he raised his head to look at Nie Qing again, his gaze was as still as still water.

"Ah Qing, don't blame me for being straightforward. If you agree to investigate the case with me just because of guilt, I advise you to think again and don't make such a hasty decision. I don't want you to regret it in the future. When you regret it, I become the object of your anger."

Nie Ting was taken aback after hearing this, and then asked: "Why do you think so? Whether I agree to you now because of guilt or not, this is my own decision. No matter what the result is, I will bear it alone."

"Are you sure?" Yu Sheng looked at him fixedly, "If you drink alcohol by then, is there any credibility to this statement?"

Nie Qing was blocked by his words and lost her voice.

After several seconds of stalemate, Nie Qing suddenly lowered his head and took out his notebook and ballpoint pen from his arms.He opened a blank page and wrote on it with a pen: I promise that in the process of investigating the truth of the "6 Action" in the future, no matter what happens, I, Nie Qing, will bear full responsibility.I promise to take full responsibility for all my decisions, words and actions.

Then, Nie Qing solemnly signed the lower right corner of the paper, then raised her head and asked Yu Sheng: "Do I need to press my fingerprint? I don't have a seal on me. If necessary, I can make it up tomorrow."

Yu Sheng looked at him and shook his head silently.

So Nie Qing carefully tore off the piece of paper from the notebook and handed it to Yu Sheng: "Is this a kind of guarantee?"

Yu Sheng didn't answer or speak.

Nie Qing carefully folded the piece of paper twice, put it on the table in front of Yu Sheng, and said, "Put it away, just in case."

"What if?" Yu Sheng suddenly sneered twice, and finally picked up the piece of paper that was folded into a block. "Ah Qing, when the 'what if' really comes, there is no need for any promises between you and me." He said as he casually stuffed this "letter of promise" into his pocket, and smiled again, " However, I understand what you mean. Since you are willing, I naturally hope to have more helpers, the more the better."

"Well, I will try my best." Nie Qing said firmly.

Yu Sheng's eyes became more "indifferent" than before.

Seeing that Yu Sheng didn't say a word, Nie Qing asked again: "Do you want to start today?"

"You can do whatever you want. I'm not the leader of any investigation team, so you don't need to ask me for this kind of thing." After Yu Sheng finished speaking, he shrugged his shoulders and glanced at the door of Mucize's room. "He is probably already investigating. I'll go and see the situation. You can stay or leave if you want to, it's up to you. Although we are investigating together, as long as the goals are the same, we can cooperate or act alone during the process. It is not compulsory. .”

"Ah Sheng!" Nie Qing quickly grabbed Yu Sheng who had stood up and was about to leave. "I—" swallowed the words again, and changed his words: "I'll stay. I also want to see what he can find out. And..." Nie Qing paused, "Let's go back together at night .”

Yu Sheng looked at him, and answered after a few seconds: "Let's talk."

This time Nie Qing had no chance to stop him, Yu Sheng shook his hand lightly, walked to Mu Xi Ze's room and knocked on the door.

"Please come in." After knocking heavily for the third time, Mu Xi Ze's invitation came from the room.

Yu Sheng and Nie Qing entered the room one after another, came behind Mu Xize, and found that the two monitors on his desk and the screen of a laptop were the data query interface of the Municipal Bureau Archives.

"Team Leader Nie, don't ask me how I got in without an account number and password." Mu Xi Ze said with a smile while typing on the keyboard, "If you two reach an agreement, it's fine, just turn a blind eye. One eye, don't make things difficult for me, a coolie."

Nie Qing was speechless, and subconsciously glanced at Yu Sheng, but found that the other party was expressionless and had no intention of answering the conversation at all, so he could only perfunctoryly say: "Don't worry, don't make things difficult."

Mu Xi Ze nodded and continued to come and go freely in the database.

But a few minutes later, he gave a thoughtful "hmm".

"What's wrong?" Yu Sheng asked immediately.

Musize lightly tapped the edge of the keyboard and said, "The file about the June 6 operation cannot be found here."

"Can't find it?" Nie Qing also moved closer, staring at the screen, "It shouldn't be, all the existing files of the Municipal Bureau were backed up digitally when the system was updated five years ago. All paper files have been recreated. Photocopies, scans, materials and evidence that are fragile or inconvenient to scan are also photographed and stored in the electronic archives according to the serial number of the case for future reference. People in the archives and technical departments also cooperated to update keywords Thesaurus. As long as you enter specific information related to the case, such as date, location, and the name of the victim, the relevant files will be called up quickly."

"But the fact is that the case you want to investigate is indeed not in the electronic archives." Musize thought for a moment, and then added: "Unless, the person who made the backup accidentally missed this case, or It was not entered on purpose."

"It's easy to deal with if it's missed. If it's a big deal, go directly to the original file. If you're afraid, you're afraid..." Yu Sheng was only halfway through.

Nie Qing looked back at him with complicated eyes. "Do you suspect that the original has been destroyed?"

"It's possible. Even if it wasn't destroyed, it probably wouldn't be left openly in the archives room waiting for someone to check." Yu Sheng still said to the screen.

Nie Qing listened silently for a while.

"Then what should we do now? Is it deadlocked?" Mu Xi Ze asked a little bored.

Yu Sheng lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly patted Mu Xi Ze on the shoulder: "You can check one more for me. I want to know, what was the last case my dad handled seven years ago?"

"The case that Captain Yu handled seven years ago?" Mu Xizhe repeated the question, looking a little confused, "With all due respect, hasn't Captain Yu been dismissed from the police force? If you want to investigate his case now, I'm afraid there is no one." so easy."

"I won't look for you if it's easy." Yu Sheng squeezed the space between his brows after finishing speaking.

Mu Xi Ze thought for a few seconds, nodded and said: "That's fine, give me a little more time, I will try my best."

"Well, thank you very much." Yu Sheng patted him again, but then he leaned on the corner of the table and squatted down slowly.

"Ah Sheng!" Nie Qing was originally standing on the other side of Mu Xize, but after discovering Yu Sheng's situation, he quickly went around and held him to prevent him from sitting on the ground.

Mu Xi Ze also stood up at this time, pulled the chair aside, and together with Nie Qing helped Yu Sheng to sit by the bed. "Brother Yu, are you okay?" Mu Xi Ze bent down and asked with concern.

Yu Sheng shook his head slightly, "It's okay, I have a slight fever and dizziness. It will be fine in a while."

"How can it be better later? Fever gets worse at night!" Nie Qing was anxious, still thinking about giving Yu Sheng medicine, so she took his hand and said, "Ah Sheng, let me first Take you back, just leave the uncle's case to Mu Xi Ze for investigation, once there is a result, he will definitely notify us."

"You don't have to worry about this, I will tell you when I find something. But Team Leader Nie, in Xiao Yu's current state, are you sure you want to take him away?" Mu Xi Ze reached out and touched Yu Sheng's forehead, " He has a bad fever, and it may get worse if you toss and turn on the road again. In my opinion, if you don’t have so many taboos, you might as well rest in Xiaozhang’s room tonight. It just so happens that I also have medicine for fever here. Ji also brought me some anti-inflammatory drugs for trauma, which are quite complete, and you can tell me if you need anything."

"This……"

Nie Qing was still hesitating, but Yu Sheng had already agreed softly: "Okay, just let me stay for one night, I have nothing to hold back."

Seeing that he had agreed, Nie Qing nodded and said, "Then I will stay with you."

"No, you can go back." When Yu Sheng said this, he suddenly became more confident.He looked up at Mu Xi Ze, then looked at Nie Qing and said, "I'm already causing trouble to Xi Ze by living here alone, wouldn't it be more inconvenient for you to stay here? Besides, you are so busy these days, Things at work may not be finished, so don’t waste your energy on me. I will investigate the case myself. If you want to help, you can help when you are free. In short, recently, if it is not convenient to take time, you Just don't come looking for me."

The meaning of the rest of life is already very obvious.Nie Qing was a little dazed, and stood in front of him without saying a word.

Mu Xi Ze felt "embarrassed" all over his body as he stood aside.

"Then what—" As the only "outsider" at the scene, he had to take on the heavy responsibility of mediator, and persuaded earnestly: "Leader Nie, I think Brother Xiao Yu is right. You already have a bunch of people in the city bureau." It’s over, it’s not realistic to run at both ends for the time being. Why don’t you take care of one end first, with my help here, you can worry less. As for Brother Yu’s body, I don’t think it’s a big problem as long as you take a good rest for a few days. don’t worry."

Nie Qing didn't speak after listening, her eyes were still fixed on Yu Sheng.

Mu Xize stretched out his hand and gently squeezed Yu Sheng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Yu, express your opinion quickly. If you think I'm reliable, then advise Team Leader Nie to go home with peace of mind. There's no way around here."

Yu Sheng hummed, and finally met Nie Qing's gaze and said, "Ah Qing, you can go back."

No more words.

Nie Qing understood that this was the end of her words.If he insisted on staying, it would appear that he was too ignorant of current affairs.

So Nie Qing nodded and said to Mu Xi Ze: "Okay, I'll go back first. If you find anything, please let me know."

"No problem." Mu Xi Ze agreed very happily.

Nie Qing turned his attention to Yu Sheng again, "Ah Sheng, contact me if you need anything."

"Ah."

Nie Qing didn't see any emotion in Yu Sheng's eyes.
