remnants

The on-site investigation ended at night, and the time was close to zero.

Nie Qing called to withdraw the team. After everyone returned to the Municipal Public Security Bureau, they put down the things that should be put away and tidied up. Nie Qing asked everyone to go home and rest first. Only Su Ji still needs to stay Do an autopsy, and Mu Xi Ze and Yu Sheng who still decided to wait here.

"Aren't you going back?" Nie Qing asked, looking at the cup of coffee in Mu Xi Ze's hand.

"I'll wait for Xiao Ji to finish and send him back." Mu Xi Ze said as if it should be so.

"I can send him off." Nie Qing said.

Mu Xi Ze shook his head and smiled, "Team Leader Nie also had a hard day today, you should go to rest, and leave it to me to send someone away."

Nie Qing was really tired at the moment, and didn't have the energy to "come and go" with him. After a while, he asked, "Why do you care so much about the secretary? You have only known each other for a few days."

"Maybe it's fate." Mu Xi Ze's eyes became gentle, "You may not believe it, I have a very friendly feeling from the first time I saw Xiao Ji, as if I had known him before. I just wanted to get close to him subconsciously. , Subconsciously want to be nice to him, there is no special reason."

"..." Nie Qing listened with embarrassment and complicated expression. After listening, he hesitated for two seconds and asked, "Are you..."

"Is it something?" Mu Xi Ze didn't know why.

Is it gay?

Nie Qing silently completed the words in her heart, feeling that it was too early to ask.At least, he needs to confirm Su Ji's thoughts and wishes first.

So, Nie Qing shook his head, sighed and said, "Have you watched too many TV shows? Why do you speak like you are reciting lines?"

When Mu Xi Ze laughed, he was not angry. He looked behind Nie Qing and said, "Group Leader Nie, don't just correct me, your friends have been left out."

When Nie Qing heard this, she turned her head, only to realize that Yu Sheng who had just told him to "study the case documents" had already slumped on the table.

"Asheng?" Nie Qing hurried over, bent down to look at him, "If you're sleepy, go lie down inside, and I'll give you a folding bed."

"Hmm... no need..." Yu Sheng seemed unable to open his eyelids, lay there motionless and begged softly, "Ah Qing...let's go home and sleep tonight..."

"Go home..." Nie Qing looked very embarrassed, "But I still have to wait—"

"You guys go back first, I'll stay and wait." Mu Xizhe took Nie Qing's words at this time, looked at him and said, "Team Leader Nie, I heard that you have suggested that I become a member of the task force. In that case , just treat me as a real team member. It’s fine for me to stay here.”

After listening to his words, Nie Qing took another look at Yu Sheng, whose face had turned pale, and finally agreed after hesitating for a while.

"Then you stay here and wait for the secretary, and let him put him on my desk after the preliminary autopsy report is released, and then you send him home to rest as soon as possible. I will go back temporarily and come early tomorrow morning." Nie Qing put on Yu Sheng's coat while talking, and this man let him play with his arms and legs, just like a large rag doll.

Mu Xize kept looking at the two of them with interest, and when Nie Qing stopped, he smiled and returned to a polite expression, and said to Nie Qing: "You don't have to worry about tomorrow, just be impatient. Can’t eat hot tofu, eat well and sleep well, the body is the capital of the revolution.”

"Now I can hear an advertisement again." Nie Qing didn't expect that she was still in the mood to joke with him at this time, and felt miraculous after speaking, and couldn't help laughing helplessly, "Then let's go first, You can come back in the afternoon tomorrow, and I have to ask you to check the phone."

"I can check it now, and try to finish it at the same time as Xiao Ji." Mu Xi Ze said quite confidently.

Nie Qing nodded, "Thank you."

After he finished speaking, he lowered｜body, put Yu Sheng's arm around his shoulder with one hand, and wrapped his other arm around his waist, lifting him up from the chair.

"It's so late, there aren't many people in the bureau, you shouldn't be seen by taking him out directly." Mu Xi Ze said softly again, "If necessary, I can cover for you."

Nie Qing couldn't help but glance at him, and after thinking for a few seconds, she decided not to be polite to him, nodded and said, "Okay, help me cover to the parking lot."

"No problem." Mu Xi Ze stood up happily, and walked to the door first.

Nie Qing picked up Yu Sheng by the waist and followed him, when he realized that someone looked thinner and thinner, but was actually a little heavy to hold when he fell asleep.

When he and Mu Xize came to the Land Rover in the parking lot one by one, Nie Qing was already sweating, probably because of nervousness.

Mu Xi Ze helped him open the back seat door, Nie Qing carefully stuffed Yu Sheng into it, let him lie down, and pulled a cushion for him to sleep on, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I can't see that Team Leader Nie can take care of people so carefully." Mu Xi Ze said while looking at him.

Nie Qing withdrew from the back seat, gently closed the car door and said, "You can't judge by appearance. Some people's appearance is far from their essence. Isn't this kind of situation very common?"

"Team Leader Nie must have meant something else, right?" Mu Xi Ze casually leaned against the car door, saw Nie Qing lighting a cigarette from the corner of his eyes, smiled and said, "Why are you so prejudiced against me?" deep?"

"You should know the reason." Nie poured out a faint smoke ring, and glanced at him lightly, "Your performance makes me unable to trust you. Moreover, your disguise is not perfect."

Mu Xi Ze became interested for a while, raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with my disguise?"

"Before you acted so pure and harmless in front of everyone, but from just now, don't you feel that you have shown your true side?"

"That's true." Mu Xi Ze nodded approvingly, and cast an admiring look at Nie Qing, "Captain Nie's observation ability is really keen. I just thought, anyway, no matter how I pretend to be in front of you You won’t be trusted, so why bother me. It’s better to be real, it will make you more at ease, won’t it?”

"Heh." Nie Qing laughed in a low voice, "To make me feel at ease? Should I still thank you?"

Mu Xi Ze waved his hand, "That's not necessary. It's normal for Team Leader Nie to suspect me, and I have nothing to justify."

"Then tell me the truth, what is your purpose of approaching the secretary?" Nie Qing suddenly asked in a low voice.

"The purpose, didn't I tell you just now?" Mu Xi Ze also got a little more serious, turned around and met his eyes, "I said, I just want to be nice to him."

"Do you think it's credible to want to be nice to someone for no reason?" Nie Qing narrowed his eyes slightly.

Mu Xi Ze ignored his veiled threat, nodded and said: "Credible. At least I believe it, and Xiao Ji also believes it. As for whether others believe it or not, we don't care."

"You?" Nie Tingting heard that his words were equivalent to provocation, "Musize, let's make things clear today. Now the secretary does trust you, and I respect his opinion, but you'd better not let me find What a flaw. Once I find out that you have done anything that will hurt him, I will never let you go. "

"Don't worry. If one day I really hurt him, I won't let myself go." Mu Xi Ze said seriously.

"However——" he suddenly changed the subject again, "Such a guarantee sounds unreliable now, and I believe that it will win people's hearts over time. Team leader Nie, how about giving me a chance to prove myself?"

Nie Qing stared at him noncommittally for a few seconds, and suddenly asked, "Who do you think the secretary is?"

"Important friend." Mu Xi Ze replied without hesitation.

"Just friends?" Nie Qing asked again.

Mu Xi Ze looked at him and smiled, "I don't know what answer Team Leader Nie is expecting, but I'm afraid my answer will disappoint you. Instead of letting me say it to make yourself unhappy, why don't Team Leader Nie talk to his sweetheart earlier?" Go home and rest? From what I see, the guy inside seems to be feeling unwell right now."

Because Nie Qing had been leaning against the window, he couldn't see what was going on inside the car.After being reminded by Mu Xi Ze, he turned his head suddenly. Although he couldn't see clearly, he could roughly see the outline. Yu Sheng was already curled up in a ball on the seat.

Nie Qing's heart rose to her throat in an instant, she pulled the door open and got into the car, picked him up from the seat and shouted, "Ah Sheng? Ah Sheng?? What's wrong??"

"Ah Qing..." Yu Sheng's face looked white in the dark car, he pressed his right hand firmly to his temple, his eyes were tightly closed, and his left hand was groping for Nie Qing's clothes, his voice trembling, still Forced a smile and said: "Ah Qing...I'm fine...just a little headache..."

"Do you seem to have a 'kinda' headache?!" Nie Qing was so anxious that he couldn't control his voice, but then he hugged Yu Sheng tightly and patted him on the back twice, lowering his voice. : "Be patient, I will send you to the hospital right away."

"No need!" Yu Sheng suddenly grabbed the clothes on Nie Qing's chest, and begged, "I don't want to go to the hospital... It will be fine in a while... Let's go home, shall we?"

"Asheng-"

"Go home...go home..." Every time Yu Sheng said that, he grabbed Nie Qing's clothes.

Nie Qing had helplessness and worry written all over his face. He wanted to find Su Ji but was afraid that it would affect his work.

When he was in a dilemma, he suddenly heard Mu Xi Ze ask softly outside: "If it's a headache, I have medicine here for relief, do you want one?"

"You -- can you take medicine indiscriminately??" Nie Qing almost wanted to turn around and punch him.

But Muxi Ze really took out a small bottle and said, "I'm serious. This medicine can be used to relieve general headaches. It works quickly and has few side effects. These two days, Bai Zhang's mother has been taking this medicine for headaches. I I think you can try it for him, what if it works? Isn’t it too much trouble to go to the hospital at night?”

Nie Qing: "..."

"Then try it... You can't die if you take this medicine wrong..." Yu Sheng stretched out his hand before Nie Qing gave an answer.

"Ah Sheng!" Nie Qing snatched the bottle over, "No, I'd better go to the hospital for a check-up. Your condition has not been very good these two days. If there is any problem with your health, you must go to the hospital sooner. The better."

"Let's go another day..." Yu Sheng felt that his headache was getting worse at the moment. In order not to let Nie Qing notice it, he tried his best to smile and said: "I'm too tired today... I just want to go home and sleep...Ah Qing ..."

Nie Qing showed hesitation, he was constantly weighing in his heart, and Mu Xi Ze said again: "The effect of this medicine is really good. Believe me, I will never hurt anyone in front of you."

Nie Qing couldn't help but glanced at him, then looked back at Yu Sheng's pale face from pain, gritted his teeth, and finally compromised: "Okay, let's try it once. How many pills do you take at a time?"

"One grain is enough." Mu Xi Ze said with his eyes on Yu Sheng.

Nie Qing unscrewed the bottle cap, took a napkin and put it on his hand, poured out another tablet and put it on the paper, then took out a bottle of mineral water from his hand, unscrewed the bottle cap with one hand, and took the tablet for the rest of his life. mouth, watching him put the water in his mouth and handed it over, and waited for him to take a few sips before taking it away.

"How is it? Is it better?" Nie Qing asked nervously as soon as Yu Sheng swallowed the medicine, fearing that something might happen to him.

Yu Sheng closed his eyes, nodded slightly after a while, and said, "It's much better, it doesn't hurt much anymore."

"It works?" Nie Qing didn't seem to dare to believe it. He brought the bottle of medicine closer to his eyes and looked at it carefully for a while, then suddenly turned his head and asked Mu Xi Ze: "Your medicine has such a strong pain-relieving effect, could it be—"

"How is it possible." Musize interrupted him funny, "I don't dare to carry the tube|pharmaceuticals with me."

"Ah Qing," Yu Sheng was able to sit up by himself at this time. Although his face was still pale, he seemed to have recovered a lot. He smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, I think this medicine is good. Thank you, Xi." Brother Ze."

"You're welcome." Musize took out a business card from his wallet and handed it to Yu Sheng, "There is my contact information on it, you can find me next time if you need it."

"It won't be necessary next time. I will take him to the hospital for an examination. If necessary, we will prescribe medicine directly from the hospital." Nie Qing took the business card from him and stuffed it directly into his pocket.

Seeing this, Mu Xi Ze couldn't help smiling, "Please go ahead."

Nie Qing nodded slightly, "Go in quickly, we should go too."

After speaking, Nie Qing walked around to the other side of the car, sat in the driver's seat and started the car.

At this time, Yu Sheng lowered the car window and reached out his hand. Mu Xize shook him knowingly, saying "thank you", "no thanks", "goodbye", and "see you later". As soon as he let go of his hand, the car boomed set off with a bang.

Seeing the window on his side being closed by Nie Qing from the driver's seat, Yu Sheng couldn't help but lean over and jokingly said, "Ah Qing, are you jealous?"

Nie Qing glanced at him in the rearview mirror, then shook his head, "I can't be jealous, I just think Mu Xi Ze is too strange, and I can't see through him more and more."

"Oh," Yu Sheng thought for a while, "it's a bit mysterious, but according to my intuition, he doesn't seem like a bad guy."

"It's not easy to spot a good guy or a bad guy." Nie Qing sighed softly, "Forget it, let's observe for a while longer."

"En." Yu Sheng nodded in agreement.

Just at this moment, the cell phone in his trouser pocket vibrated, Yu Sheng sat back again, took out the cell phone and saw that it was the message from Lian Xu.

He said: Third brother, the heads of the houses at No. 220 to 230, Wenhua Road, Funing County have been found out, and they are indeed the second brother's.

Yu Sheng's eyes froze for an instant, and then returned to normal in an instant.

He sat there quietly and thought for a while, then he replied to Lian Xu:

Immediately stop the investigation.
