After driving about ten kilometers, Nie Qing glanced at Yu Sheng who was still "dying" in the back seat through the rearview mirror, and asked, "How long do you plan to pretend?"

"what……"

Yu Sheng moved his body, scrambled up and sat up straight, leaned forward and approached Nie Qing and said, "You saw it..."

"If I can't even tell whether you are really dizzy or fake, I won't be your boyfriend." Nie Qing glanced at him lightly from the corner of his eye and said.

Yu Sheng couldn't help but smiled softly, "You still understand me. But I pretended to be pretty, right?"

"Yeah." Nie Qing nodded, "It's so similar, I could go to a movie."

"...Ah Qing," Yu Sheng stretched out his hand to rub Nie Qing's shoulder, and said in a soft voice, "Are you not satisfied with my performance just now? But I didn't break my promise, I didn't do it in front of my uncle. escape……"

"It's true that you didn't run away in front of him, you just pretended to faint in front of him, and forced me to lie to him with you." Nie Qing's voice was calm, without any trace of anger. Feeling, but the more he lived like this for the rest of his life, the more panicked he became.

"Ah Qing..." Yu Sheng continued to gently knead Nie Qing's shoulders, flattering him, "Actually, I wasn't all pretending just now, I was really dizzy..."

"Well, I know." Nie Qing let go of the steering wheel with one hand, moved to his shoulder and patted his hand, "Sit in the back, if you still feel uncomfortable, lie in the back seat for a while, I will see you off first go home."

"Oh..." Yu Sheng carefully aimed at Nie Qing, "Then you..."

"I'm not angry." Nie Qing glanced at him through the rearview mirror, his expression softened slightly, at least he was no longer stern, "I also know that some things cannot be done overnight. If I can wait, they can too."

Yu Sheng was taken aback when he heard this, and he pawed his fingers on the backrest for a while before finally letting go, and silently retracted into the back seat.

Nie Qing also continued to drive the car in silence, her eyes occasionally collided with Yu Sheng's in the rearview mirror, knowing that he was secretly looking at her, but after the collision, the two of them would move away tacitly at the same time.

Instead of breaking out in silence, escape in silence.

But Nie Qing knew in his heart that the conflict between him and Yu Sheng could not be avoided forever.They quarreled and tossed each other time and time again, forgiving and reconciling each other time and time again, after all, they were treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.If this contradiction is always put aside and not resolved, it will never disappear by itself, but it will become more and more deepened.

At best, the relationship between the two people will not be affected by this contradiction until it is resolved.

But is it possible?

Is it possible for such a situation to happen in reality, to real people?

Nie Qing doesn't think he is a broad-minded person. All his seemingly unlimited tolerance for the rest of his life so far is because he loves him, so he is willing to compromise.

However, the compromises are not without limits.

Any kind of emotion will inevitably lead to some form of venting after a long period of accumulation.As for Nie Qing, his forbearance and his retreat made him feel physically and mentally exhausted, which obviously did not indicate any good development in the future.

Even Nie Qing himself was not sure what his actions and reactions would be when his patience for the rest of his life reached its limit.

I hope that they will not come to the end where both losers suffer and the water is irretrievable...

"Ah Qing, call." Yu Sheng suddenly called him from behind.

Nie Qing came back to his senses and found that the bluetooth indicator on the car was on, but there was no sound, probably because he accidentally turned off the mute at some point.

"Hi, I'm Nie Qing." Nie Qing pressed the answer button.

"Team leader! It's bad!" An anxious male voice came from the microphone, "He Tian was lost by us!"

"Lost it?!" Nie Qing asked back, and then said solemnly: "How did you lose it, explain it clearly!"

"Yes... yes!" The person who agreed stuttered, and then replied: "About an hour ago, He Tian went out to the commercial area of ​​Shuanglong Street, Panlong District, and went shopping here. Our people have been following her , but in order not to let her find out, we didn't dare to follow too closely. Then she went to the women's underwear area for half an hour... We three big men were even more embarrassed to follow, because we were afraid that it would be too strange to be seen by others, and it would be easy to expose , so only Xiaowen went with her."

Nie Qing nodded slightly, "Xiaowen is a lesbian, so it should be more convenient to follow. But how can I lose track of him?"

"We didn't expect that... He Tian took several pieces of underwear into the fitting room, and after almost 10 minutes, we didn't come out, so we were a little anxious... Let Xiaowen go up and knock on her door pretending to try on clothes , but no one responded after knocking for a while, we realized something was wrong, so we hurried to call the salesman to open the door."

The policeman on the other end of the phone paused when he said this, swallowed, and continued: "But the trouble is, the fitting rooms in the underwear area of ​​this shopping mall are very tightly decorated, as if they are afraid that the privacy of the guests will be leaked." It seems...they all adopt double-locked wooden doors that are closed up and down. The salesman can only open the outer lock with a key, but there is a chain lock inside. We had to find a tool to break the lock before opening the door. "

"After opening it, I found that He Tian was no longer in it?" Nie Qing took a deep breath, "Is that fitting room still connected to the warehouse?"

"Yeah... Who would have thought that it would be such a coincidence that she just entered the room connected to the warehouse... and the door of the warehouse was not locked, and she went out directly from another exit in the warehouse... "

"Is there a surveillance video at that exit?" Nie Qing asked.

"No... We have already asked the security and the person in charge of the shopping mall, and they said that there is a less commonly used entrance and exit, with all kinds of garbage and discarded cardboard boxes piled up outside, let alone cars, even people are difficult Find a place to stay, so usually no one wants to go in and out of it except for the cleaning staff, and the cleaning staff will lock it after use, so the mall does not think it is necessary to install cameras there.”

"Have you checked the surveillance video of the road near the shopping mall?" Nie Qing asked again.

"Not, not yet..." The voice on the other end of the phone was a little weak for a moment, and after answering, he hurriedly said: "We are going to find the traffic police brigade of Panlong Branch to make a video call! If we find anything, we will call the team leader immediately! "

"Okay. But it's enough to send two people to check the surveillance video. The remaining two people rush to He Tian's house immediately to prevent her from going back halfway." Nie Qing settled down in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

"Also, is He Tian's cell phone being monitored now?"

"Yes, but because of permission issues, we didn't monitor the content of every call she made, but only paid attention to whether there were calls from strange numbers and messages from strange numbers."

"Then did she receive similar calls or messages from strangers before she went out today and before she went to the underwear area?" Nie Qing asked with a frown.

There was a small voice of communication from the other end of the phone, as if the caller was confirming something with the person next to him. After a few seconds, his voice became clear again: "Team leader, I didn't receive it. Off state."

"Shut down..." Nie Qing felt his heart tighten suddenly, and there seemed to be a flash of lightning in his mind. He seemed to realize something, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.

"In short, we must do everything we can to find He Tian as soon as possible! If she is late, she may be in danger!" Nie Qing said as he stepped on the gas pedal a few minutes, the car was speeding on the road, and the roar could be heard inside the car The wind, and Nie Qing's serious voice, "You guys split up and act immediately, and contact me immediately if there is any new situation!"

"Understood!" The other party hung up the phone after answering.

"Ah Qing, we now—" Yu Sheng leaned over worriedly.

"Wait a minute." Nie Qing signaled him not to speak, and then made another call, but it was to Fu Mingjie.

"Hey, Nie Qing." Fu Mingjie picked up the bell before it rang, "What's the matter?"

"Captain, there are some problems on my side." Nie Qing looked at the road ahead with deep eyes, and there was a sense of urgency in his tone, and he spoke quickly: "The target person we are currently protecting One of them was suddenly lost, her phone was turned off, and there was no way to trace her whereabouts immediately, so I wanted to ask the team for support."

"Target person? So you have locked on a new target person? Why didn't you report it earlier?!" Fu Mingjie rarely spoke to Nie Qing so harshly, and then said: "I said, how can you transfer someone these two days? It's so mysterious, it turns out that you already have an idea. But it's a good thing you have an idea, why do you have to hide it in the team? Who are you defending against?"

"Until my suspicions are confirmed, I will guard against everyone I think is necessary." Nie Qing pushed back neither softly nor hard.

Fu Mingjie was taken aback by his anger, and after realizing it, he couldn't help raising his voice: "Everyone you think is necessary? Including me??"

Nie Qing was silent for a moment when he heard this question, and then asked without answering, "Captain, where are you now?"

"I'm fucking in the bureau, otherwise where else would I be!" Fu Mingjie swears, obviously very angry, but when he gets angry again, he still remembers that there are more important things at present, so he asks again: "Will you hurry up?" Say, who is the target person? Tell me all his personal information, and I will arrange for someone to find him!"

"Okay, then I'll hang up and send it to you right away."

"Okay! Hurry up!" Fu Mingjie hung up angrily.

At this time, Nie Qing turned his head slightly and glanced at Yu Sheng who was behind him from the corner of his eye, and handed him his mobile phone: "I said you write, and send him a short message with He Tian's personal information."

"Yeah." Yu Sheng took it, and quickly sent the information Nie Qing told him about He Tian's work place and address to Fu Mingjie.

"What are you going to do next?" Yu Sheng asked after finishing his post.

"Call Luo Qi." Nie Qing motioned Yu Sheng to dial the number for him, and after Yu Sheng dialed the number, he turned on the speakerphone, only to hear Luo Qi greet Nie Qing enthusiastically on the other end, and then asked him if he had any instructions to yourself.

"Are you in the bureau now?" Nie Qing asked.

"Yes! I'm here early in the morning, ready to be dispatched by the team leader!" Luo Qi simply replied.

"Is the captain there?" Nie Qing asked and added, "If he is, do you remember how long he stayed? Did you go out during the period?"

"Ah, the captain is here." Luo Qi lowered his voice, "The captain came earlier than me today. I arrived around eight o'clock. At that time, the captain was already in his office, and he is still there now. In the middle ...Does the time to go to the toilet count? It looks like three to five minutes, I didn't pay attention..."

Nie Qing: "What about lunch?"

"I ate lunch in the bureau. The captain bought a new box of instant noodles and put them in his office. He also told everyone to get them anytime they want." Luo Qi became surprised when he answered, and couldn't help asking: "The team Long, why are you asking this?"

"Luo Qi, there is a task I want to give you next, but it is difficult. If you feel that this task makes you feel embarrassed, you can refuse it. I am serious." Nie Qing sighed silently after finishing speaking.

Luo Qi was even more surprised, "What task? Team leader, just say it!"

"I want your help to follow the captain." Nie Qing said word by word.

"Following the captain??" Luo Qi almost exclaimed, then quickly lowered his volume, and asked in a very low voice, "Why is the leader doing this?? Why did you follow him..."

"I personally feel that the captain's recent behavior is a bit suspicious. In the worst case, he may be involved in this serial murder." This is the first time Nie Qing has expressed this idea to people other than Yu Sheng, and his heart It just feels a little heavier.

Luo Qi was dazed when he heard this, and asked in a daze, "Captain...are you involved in the case? Are you sure, Captain?"

"I'm not sure. For the time being, I'm just guessing." Nie Qing exchanged glances with Yu Sheng through the rearview mirror. Things can only be handed over to the most trusted person, otherwise once the news is leaked, it will definitely be difficult to advance in the future.”

"Ah...so I'm the most trustworthy person for the team leader??" Luo Qi's focus suddenly shifted to this sentence.

Nie Qing didn't know whether to laugh or to be helpless, he paused for a moment and then hummed softly.

"I, I, I, I will go!!!" Luo Qi was so excited that he stuttered, and Nie Qing could imagine him waving his arms foolishly in the criminal investigation hall, "As long as the team leader can trust me! I am willing to go!"

"Are you sure? The captain is an old man. It's not easy to follow him without being discovered."

Luo Qi's answer was still without any hesitation, "Sure! Guaranteed to complete the task!"

"Well, I will leave this matter to you, and you must pay attention to safety." Nie Qing said seriously.

"No problem!" Luo Qi answered in a low voice, "Leader, I won't tell you. I think the captain is going out soon, so I'll follow."

"Okay, contact me anytime if you need anything." Nie Qing waited for him to hang up first.

The car suddenly became quiet again.

Nie Qing looked at Lu, and Yu Sheng looked at him. After a few minutes, he suddenly said in a low voice, "Ah Qing, you are actually quite bad."

"When did I give you the illusion that I was 'good'?" Nie Qing asked lightly.

"Hmm..." Yu Sheng thought for a while, and turned his head away to look out the window, "Forget it, it's okay."

Nie Qing glanced at him and stopped talking.

There is no need to say things that are well known to each other.
