Monsoon

"I am suitable for the damp, cold, and the last darkness before dawn, with my inborn nature not to enter. I have resisted many things, resisted many people, and resisted you who rushed to me recklessly. You are the only one who allows me Those who regret it, so I regret it."

——Fang Tang

Ji Chi sat in the interrogation room, folded his arms and closed his eyes, waiting.The little police officer beside him spread the notebook on the table next to him and took out a black pen.

"Ji team." Someone called him.

Ji Xiao raised his head, and two police officers escorted the suspect into the interrogation room, one at a time.

"Sit." Ji Xiao motioned to the handcuffed suspect.

The police officer in charge of escort took him to the interrogation room.

This suspect was the first man to get out of the car that night, and the other three were interrogated by other colleagues in another interrogation room.Ji Xiao felt that this man was not a young man working at the bottom, so he had to interrogate him himself.

The man was about 40 years old, with dark skin, deep forehead lines, and a sloppy unshaved beard.After he sat down, he didn't dare to look at Ji Xiao who was sitting opposite him, so he buried his head and folded his hands on his lap, looking very nervous.

Ji Xiao opened the file: "He Yingui."

This was the name that the suspect reported when he was arrested that day.

"What else do you have to say?"

"Officer, I've told you everything I know." He Yingui said with a sad face, "I got the goods from Boss Zou, that is, Zou Li. When we heard that he was involved in the game, we immediately took the goods and ran away. Throwing all the goods out, I didn’t expect to be arrested after only doing a few small businesses.”

He Yingui was right. According to their confession, Ji Xiao sent police officers to arrest seven suspects who were taking drugs in a private house in the west district and a bar in the east district. Their drugs were all bought from He Yingui.

"In other words, your upline is Zou Li?" Ji Xiao asked.

"Yes." He Yingui rolled his eyes, "But who else Zou Li sold to, I really don't know."

Really don't know?Ji Xiao thought about it.

"He Yingui, do you know how many grams of life sentence for drug trafficking?" Ji Xiao said suddenly.

When He Yingui heard the sentence, he buried his head deeply again.

"Fifty grams." Ji Xiao put his folded arms on the table, "Thirty catties of meth tablets and one catty of meth were seized from your car that day."

"You figure it out yourself, how much is your punishment?" Ji Xiao said lightly.

He was slowly attacking He Yingui's psychological defense line. According to He Yingui's character, he could not stand the threat, and all signs showed that he should know something else.

"If you cooperate with our investigation, I will apply for a commutation of your sentence." Ji Xiao continued to persuade.

When He Yingui heard this, he suddenly raised his head: "Is what you said true?"

Ji Xiao nodded: "Yes."

This afternoon, He Yingui reviewed his drug trafficking history. He said that Zou Li himself did not have the ability to produce such a large amount of drugs.He just heard that Zou Li had a few helpers under him, and when Zou Li was arrested, those people ran away.

Those helpers were all Lian Jiazi, with guns in their hands, so He Yingui and the others didn't dare to say anything during each transaction, and they went their separate ways after the transaction.

Zou Li didn't have this ability, those helpers should have been sent to him by the big boss behind him.As for the big boss, I only guessed the existence of this person, and no one has seen it.

Now the only way to solve the case lies in one person: Zou Li.

Ji Xiao took out his phone and wanted to ask his colleagues who were interrogating Zou Li how it was going, but a call came first.

"Captain Ji, Zou Li is dead."

what? !

When Ji Xiao arrived at the detention center, the forensic doctor was identifying the cause of Zou Li's death.

There was no trauma, let alone signs of struggle, but he was foaming at the mouth when he died, and it was initially determined that he died of poisoning.The forensic doctor took saliva from Zou Li's mouth and brought it back to the laboratory.

He fell down slowly while eating. Zou Li was an important witness, so the police station not only had to protect his personal safety, but also had to go through a detailed inspection of each of his meals before delivering them to him. .

Chronic poisoning, this possibility is very high, when Zou Li was targeted by the police, he was already poisoned, and someone rushed to poison him before the police.

Once Zou Li died, both his online and offline connections were cut off. Leaving aside his offline connections, it would be almost impossible to find out the manipulator from this gap.

"Bastard!" Ji Xiao slapped the table hard, the ceramic water cup was shaken to the ground and shattered, the water splashed on Ji Xiao's shoes, and the pieces were scattered everywhere.

Do you think you can escape like this?

When Li Yun came in, all he saw was debris all over the floor.

"Captain Ji, your quilt has fallen off."

Ji Xiao looked at Li Yun: "Yes, I will scan later."

"Let me sweep it for you. Someone is looking for it outside. I'll wait for you in the lobby." Li Yun said.

When Ji Xiao entered the hall, Ji Chi was sitting and waiting for him.

"Why did you come to the police station?" Ji Xiao walked over and sat next to Ji Chi.

"I wanted to know how your case is going."

"Why do you care so much about my work and love your brother?" Ji Xiao laughed.

"You're overthinking it." Ji Chi said, "My people told me that someone outside said that a person arrested by the police died in prison a while ago. Your phone can't be reached."

"Yes." Ji Xiao leaned back and found a comfortable position, as if he really forgot to charge his phone just now.

"Can you catch him?" Ji Chi thought for a while and asked Ji Xiao.

"Catch it, it's a matter of time."

Ji Xiao suddenly remembered something: "How are you preparing for the college entrance examination next week?"

Ji Chi nodded: "It's not a big problem if it plays normally."

"That's good." Ji Xiao patted Ji Chi on the shoulder, "Tell me and my parents that I'm too busy these days, and I'll go home when I'm free."

"it is good."

Ji Xiao has been sleeping in the police station for more than a month, looking haggard, his bangs have grown too long and he hasn't had time to cut them yet.

"Brother, pay attention to your body."

"understood."

"Also, I don't know about Zhang Xiang and you. I only have one request, don't let Fang Tang get involved."

"You kid has a wife and forgot about brother." Ji Xiao spat.

"You were right."

"I haven't bought the fruit yet." Ji Chi reminded Fang Tang.

Fang Tang changed shoes at the entrance: "I won't buy any more."

"It's for grandpa." Ji Chi took the key on the table, Fang Tang also changed his shoes, and went out together without saying anything.

An hour later, they came out of the supermarket, each holding two bags of things, fruit, nutrition powder, and an electric fan.

"Ji Chi, I bought too much." Fang Tang said.

"Not much, let's take a taxi." Said, Ji Chi stopped a taxi by the side of the road, stepped forward and opened the back door of the car to let Fang Tang in.

As soon as Ji Chi got into the taxi, he said that if he bought a motorcycle another day, he would be able to take Fang Tang wherever he went, which was also convenient.

Fang Tang thought to himself, who wants you to carry it, you are so affectionate.

When they got home, Grandpa was sitting in the yard shaking a cattail fan.

"Grandpa." Fang Tang called out.

Grandpa opened his eyes, saw who was coming, and smiled: "Why did you come home today?"

"School is on holiday today." Fang Tang was right, today is the weekend.

Grandpa looked thinner again, and his eyes were cloudier than the last time I saw him.

Grandpa suddenly saw Ji Chi behind him, and smiled even more happily: "Xiao Ji, are you here too?"

"Is grandpa okay?"

"Okay, okay." Grandpa stood up, "It's hot outside, come inside quickly."

"Fang Tang, put your food in," Ji Chi said.

"What are you bringing with you?" Grandpa asked strangely.

"My parents insisted that I take it, saying that I must bring some gifts when visiting the elderly."

"Hehehe, I am interested."

Fang Tang put a few bags of things into the kitchen.

After entering the kitchen, he saw that the oil bowl on the stove had been overturned and turned upside down, and the oil was flowing everywhere.Half of a package of noodles was eaten, and the rest was in the cupboard.Because of the rain, the cabinet has been damp, and there are traces of corrosion on the wood.

In addition to the noodles, there is also a bowl of vegetables in the cupboard, with a few drops of oil and water floating on the soup.

Fang Tang felt a groan in his heart.

When I am not at home, my grandfather eats these.

After standing in the kitchen for a while, Fang Tang went out, took out the bowl from the cupboard and held it in his hand.

"That's right, you see, when the button is pressed, it turns."

Ji Chi is teaching his grandfather how to use a fan.

"Hey, the wind is quite strong." Grandpa sighed.

"If you don't need it, press this button and it will stop. Try pressing it." Ji Chi said softly.

Grandpa reached out and groped for a long time.

Ji Chi took Grandpa's hand and led him to touch the button.As soon as I pressed it, the fan stopped.

"Okay, okay." Grandpa smiled.

Fang Tang stared blankly for a long time, but neither of them noticed that Fang Tang was standing behind them.

"Fang Tang, come here, see that grandpa is very smart, you can teach him once you teach him." Ji Chi beckoned Fang Tang to go over.

Fang Tang didn't look at Ji Chi, but walked straight towards Grandpa.

"Grandpa, the money I gave you to buy meat is useless to you?" Fang Tang asked.

Grandpa's smile faded: "It's used."

"Then you just eat these unnutritious things?" Fang Tang took out the bowl for him to see.

The few drops of oil were slightly shiny, and there seemed to be small holes in the vegetable leaves that had been eaten by insects.

Ji Chi looked at it and frowned.

"These are my leftovers. I have already eaten the meat." Grandpa forced a smile.

"Don't lie to me!" Fang Tang yelled, walked a few steps, and threw the bowl hard into the yard, spilling the soup everywhere, the bowl bounced a few times on the ground, and finally stopped moving.

Fang Tang suddenly ran out of the courtyard gate.

Ji Chi seemed to be calling him behind his back.

I can't hear anything, I just want to be alone.

Fang Tang recalled these days carefully, because he felt guilty because he didn't go to school, and he didn't come home for a long time.

What is angry is not that grandpa lied to him, but that he is not up to date.

An old man was guarding in an old one-story house with no one to accompany him.When the weather is hot, there is no fan to blow, the lights are dim to save electricity, and the food is vegetarian dishes without oil and water. The eyes are becoming less and less blind. Maybe you have to re-enter the number several times to get the correct number when you make a phone call.

It hurts.

When will I be able to take Grandpa away? Fang Tang crouched low, in great pain.

It's so quiet around here, how nice it would be if it kept quiet like this.

The wind blew over, as if to appease the hot and dry heart.

Gradually, Fang Tang relaxed.

Consciousness also slowly blurred.

After an unknown amount of time, Fang Tang stood up.His legs were completely numb, and he almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.

He squatted down and fell asleep for a while.

He looked towards the direction of the sea, and the fishing boat had already docked, and the sound of waves hitting the shore told people that the tide had already risen.

When night falls, it's time to go home.

Hesitating back to the yard, the bowl had already been taken away, leaving only the residue of the soup.

Ji Chi and Grandpa sat at the table, and Grandpa held Ji Chi's hand as if saying something, while wiping his eyes with his hand.

Are you crying?

Fang Tang clenched his fists and approached slowly.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry." Fang Tang took a deep breath and opened his mouth slowly.

He wanted to apologize, his waywardness might have hurt grandpa.

"Come here." Grandpa called him.

Fang Tang walked up to them.

I thought my grandpa would blame my impulsiveness, beat him, scolded him, and admitted it.

Unexpectedly, Grandpa stretched out his hand and patted his head: "Xiao Ji said, you earn money by working on your own, and my grandson will have a bright future."

Fang Tang looked at Ji Chi in disbelief, and Ji Chi smiled at him: "I boiled water, let's take a bath, the food left for you is in the kitchen."

"I won't save you money in the future." Grandpa said, with a proud tone.

Fang Tang didn't know what to say for a moment.

Ji Chi helped him out and told grandpa to go to bed first. He went into the kitchen to heat up the dishes.

After Grandpa returned to the room, Fang Tang gently said to Ji Chi: "Let me light the fire."

There was only one bed made, and Ji Chi stood by the bed and had been looking at Fang Tang for a long time.

Fang Tang tucked the corner of the quilt and smoothed the sheet: "Come on."

Ji Chi grinned: "You said that."

As he spoke, he immediately climbed onto the bed and quickly approached Fang Tang.

Seeing this, Fang Tang quickly backed away, leaned against the wall, and stared at Ji Chi.

"Pfft—" Ji Chi laughed, "Go to sleep."

Then he went to the bedside and turned out the light.

"It's so hot, I want to take off my clothes." In the darkness, Ji Chi spoke.

"Take it off if you want, just talk nonsense."

After a while, Fang Tang felt that Ji Chi had taken off his shirt and stretched out his pants.

"What are you doing?!"

"Take off your pants." Ji Chi replied.

"Don't take off your pants." Fang Tang warned.

In desperation, Ji Chi had no choice but to agree.

"Are you hot?" Ji Chi asked Fang Tang instead.

"not hot."

"Why isn't it hot?" Ji Chi slowly stretched out his hand, "Let me take it off for you."

"Master □□, take the pig's hand away!" Fang Tang hurriedly retreated to the other side.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Ji Chi laughed a few times.

Fang Tang and Ji Chi lay side by side, neither of them fell asleep.

Fang Tang opened his eyes, but he couldn't see anything in the chaos, he couldn't see the roof, and he couldn't see Ji Chi beside him.

It was just Ji Chi's breathing that told Fang Tang that he was on the sidelines.

It seemed that Ji Chi was there, and he was a little more at ease.

This is an illusion.

"We will come back to see Grandpa more often in the future." Ji Chi said.

"Ah."

"When the time comes, give Aunt Li some money. Grandpa is reluctant to buy it himself, so Aunt Li will bring it to him."

"it is good."

"Let me think about it, what else do I have to say." Ji Chi was lost in thought.

"Ji Chi, thank you."

Ji Chi stopped thinking, was Fang Tang thanking him just now?

Ji Chi recalled that sentence over and over again, as if he really heard it right.

"Can you say one more thing." Ji Chi's throat was astringent, "I want to listen to it again."

"Thank you." Fang Tang said again.

Ji Chi turned over and leaned against Fang Tang.

"Can I hug you?"

Ji Chi trembled when he heard his voice.

Fang Tang didn't make a sound, the strings all over his body were tense, his heartbeat slowly accelerated, and he closed his eyes tightly.

He moved a little, turning his back to Ji Chi.

Ji Chi just assumed that Fang Tang had acquiesced, stretched out his hand, and put his left hand around Fang Tang's waist.hugged him from behind.

"Thank you." Ji Chi said.

Fang Tang's back was pressed against Ji Chi's strong chest, and he didn't dare to move.

In the dark, he couldn't see anything, Fang Tang could only hear the beating of his heart, and the impact made loud noises, which were clearly audible.

He also heard that the voice came not only from himself, but also from the person holding him.
