Monsoon

"You are like the summer wind, and the temperature rises with time. When the dark clouds clear, you will come dressed up. If you have not left by my side, I have already prepared for a rain called you."

—— Ji Chi

The man sitting across from him was not as haggard as last time, he was in much better spirits, and his face was rosy.His beard was shaved and he was neat and tidy. He didn't look like a prisoner who had served a year in prison, but the prison uniform and handcuffs proved his identity.

"How about inside?" Ji Chi sat opposite him.

"Eat well, sleep well, and do nothing else." The man smiled, and the wrinkles on his forehead appeared faintly.

"It can be seen." Ji Chi said.

The man felt that Ji Chi looked more haggard than himself, his eyes were dull, his face was slightly pale, and his face lost a lot of weight.

"You haven't seen me for a long time, I thought you forgot." The man said.

"It hasn't been very good recently."

"Failed the college entrance examination?"

"It's not just for that reason."

"Fang Tang?" The man tried to ask.

Ji Chi pursed his chapped lips: "Yes."

After that, fell into silence.

"Is he all right?"

"I... didn't protect him well." Ji Chi said sullenly.

"Ji Chi." The man called him, "I handed over the East District to you, and there was only one condition."

"Take care of Fang Tang." Ji Chi read silently.

"And how did you do it?"

"So I'm here to apologize."

"Is it useful?" The man laughed.

Ji Chi sat in front of the table, covered his face with his hands: "I am the one who is sorry for him."

The man suddenly couldn't bear it: "Then, is he still alive?"

"Alive."

Hearing this, the man felt relieved: "Ji Chi, listen to me. You are a child, but I entrusted another child to you. This is unfair to you."

"I voluntarily, Uncle Li."

"Fang Tang is a good boy, you know he is stronger than we imagined."

"Yes."

"So don't feel too guilty."

"Uncle Li." Ji Chi said, "It's him who makes me feel even more distressed."

The man frowned, and Ji Chi's emotional appearance was very much like when he was young, desperate to let himself indulge in it.

"You to him..."

"Yeah." Ji Chi sighed, "It started from the first time you let me see him quietly. I knew I was stumped."

The man shook his head slowly: "Sin."

"The matter you asked me to ask last time has come to fruition." Ji Chi suddenly remembered, "Zhao He's tomb is in the East District, buried by the police."

"Has anyone seen him?"

"No."

The man smiled wryly, "Yeah, how could anyone go to see him? He made countless enemies in the days when he covered the sky with his hands in the East District."

"Can your sentence be reduced?"

"I've done a good job in it."

"When you come out to see him yourself, there is a lot of dust on the monument."

"Ah."

When the visiting time came, Ji Chi stood up and prepared to leave.

The man was detained by two police officers.

"Ji Chi, go to the security guard of the West Elementary School. You call him Brother Hong. He will help you in any difficulties." Before he left, he whispered to Ji Chi, "You and Fang Tang, you two should be well."

"Baby, remember to take your medicine on time."

Ji Chi sent another text message to Fang Tang.

Still no reply.

He can't make a phone call, Fang Tang doesn't want to see him or hear his voice.

Grandpa called to ask what was wrong with Fang Tang, and Ji Chi said that Fang Tang had taken sick leave, it was not serious, but he needed to take a good rest.

He went to Fang Tang's house many times, the first time he went, he delivered a month's supply of medicine, and left in a hurry without meeting him.

In the following times, I stared at Fang Tang's yard in a daze from a distance, and then left after standing for a while, occasionally seeing Fang Tang sitting in the yard resting with his eyes closed, most of the time I couldn't see him.

Parents still know about the last few exams he gave up in the college entrance examination.

Ji Xiao explained to his parents that Ji Chi had a stomachache and couldn't hold on to the exam, so he took care of Ji Chi in the hospital.

Parents said that health is more important than exams, so they forgave him and will take him to the hospital for reexamination after a while.If you don't pass the exam this time, you can repeat it. Ji Chi's study has never worried them.

Ji Chi arrived at the West District Elementary School and wandered around for a while. Uncle Li asked him to come over to find a security guard.

What is the origin of this security guard?Ji Chi didn't know.

But he did run into trouble and needed help.

The elementary school has not yet had summer vacation, and the gate is crowded with parents who come to pick up the students.

"Parents, please back off and don't block the gate!" A uniformed security guard came out of the security room, cursing, because of the hot weather, he was impatient with the group of parents.

The man was dark and stocky, the uniform didn't fit him well, his chest was wet with sweat, and he still buttoned it up to the top.

He was right.

Ji Chi waited at the gate for a while. After the students got out of school and their parents picked them up, there was no one at the gate of the elementary school.

Ji Chi walked through the gate and came to the security room.

The security room is not big, only a few square meters, with only a table and a bed.

There is air-conditioning in the room, but it seems that the air-conditioning fan is in disrepair for a long time and the effect is not good.

The light inside was dim, probably just a small wattage light bulb working.In the corner of the room was a bowl of cold instant noodles that hadn't been eaten yet.

"Who are you looking for?"

The security guard found that someone had entered the security room and turned around vigilantly.

Ji Chi looked around and confirmed that there was only the security guard alone.

"Brother Hong?"

"You have misunderstood the person." The security guard shook his head, "There is no such person here, so go away."

As he said that, the security guard pushed Ji Chi, and Ji Chi supported the table so that he was not pushed out.

"Uncle Li asked me to come, Li Zhenggang."

The security guard's expression changed instantly, and he stared at Ji Chi in surprise.

"Can we talk now?"

Ji Chi sat across from Brother Hong, and when he moved, the broken chair creaked and creaked.

Brother Hong handed Ji Chi a cigarette, and Ji Chi waved his hand: "No." Brother Hong simply lit it for himself.

"How is Brother Li in the police station?" Brother Hong unbuttoned a few buttons on his clothes, revealing a hideous red scar.

"He's fine, you don't have to worry."

Brother Hong took a puff of cigarette: "I only visited him once after I came out."

"He trusts you very much." Ji Chi said.

"That's not true. When he was the boss in the West District, I was the person he trusted the most." Brother Hong lowered his voice, "Now Jinpen has quit."

"Brother Hong, I'm in some trouble."

"Trouble? Then just tell me, Brother Li asked you to come to me, and I will definitely help."

"But—" Ji Chi thought of a way to speak.

"I want to know, what is the specific process of drug trafficking?"

Brother Hong's face suddenly changed when he heard it, and he lowered his voice: "Don't touch this! You don't want to! How old are you, if you want to ask me this, please go back!" Hong brother waved his hand.

"Brother Hong, don't get me wrong. I've been helping my brother recently. He works in the police station." Ji Chi continued, "The big tiger behind him hasn't been caught. I don't know if there is any special advantage in a coastal city like Beizhen. Conditions allow drug traffickers to escape all the time.”

Fortunately, he was not allowed to continue to commit crimes, Brother Hong frowned.

It's been a while.

"Have you escaped for a long time?"

"Yes, 6 or 7 years. I just came to Beizhen a while ago."

"It shouldn't be." Brother Hong shook the cigarette ash into a paper cup filled with water.

"what?"

"Ordinary people would never think of transporting drugs out of Beizhen." Brother Hong narrowed his eyes, "We have lived here for decades, why don't we know that although Beizhen has a sea, it is a groove-shaped sea. Starting from Beizhen, there are customs inspections on almost all sides. It takes at least three days to get out of this "groove". Within three days, all kinds of inspections, coastal defense personnel are equipped with guns, which are top-notch equipment. If you are investigated, you can't fly with your wings."

Ji Chi pondered: "In other words, maybe he didn't come to sea to sell drugs?"

"90.00% nine are not."

Brother Hong's cigarette burned to the butt of the cigarette, he sucked it hard and threw the butt into the paper cup.

Ji Chi thought of Ji Xiao.

"What's your name?" Brother Hong asked.

"Ji Chi."

"It turned out to be you." Brother Hong smiled, "Brother Li said that he gave you Zhaohe's eastern district and let the entire eastern district assist the western district. The task is very difficult, young man."

"I just try my best."

Brother Hong smiled, but...

"By the way, it suddenly occurred to me that if the drug trafficker wants to get his cargo out of Beizhen, there is a way, and he might choose."

When he came out of Brother Hong's small room, he put a cigarette on Brother Hong's table.

Afterwards, Ji Chi made a call.

When Lin Zhi arrived at the door of the coffee shop, Ji Chi had already been waiting for a while.

"Ji Chi."

"You came."

"Fang Tang hasn't appeared in the West District for a long time, and the few people around him don't know where he went."

"It's not for this that I came to you today."

Lin Zhi, whom Fang Tang met in an Internet cafe before, was from Ji Chi.

Lin Zhi asked, "What's the matter?"

"Find me a place."

Lin Zhi is a top student who graduated from the University of Science and Technology, and now he runs a digital store by himself.Only Ji Chi knew that the black technology developed by Lin Zhi himself could locate and track a certain path along a certain river.

As for when they became friends, it may be traced back to a Mathematical Olympiad competition. They were No.1 in the university group and No.1 in the high school group.

Lin Zhi said that knowing that two unfamiliar mobile phone numbers that have been shut down cannot be tracked and located, but these two numbers are installed in the same mobile phone when dialing, and the current manufacturer will considerately provide for the buyer. Install the anti-theft chip.

And this anti-theft chip has a positioning function.Now as long as you find out the model number of this phone and combine these two numbers, you can track the current location of this phone!

Ji Chi knew that he had seen Zhang Xiang's cell phone before.

however--

There was another burst of sadness in my heart.

"Brother, help me watch the DV again. I need to know the model of Zhang Xiang's cell phone."

Fang Tang spent several days in a daze, and grandpa was very worried.Ji Chi didn't drink the prescriptions he brought, and quietly poured them down.

What's the number today?

"Lang, it's time to eat."

Grandpa went to the bedroom and called him again.

Fang Tang got dressed and walked out.

"Eat prawns today." Grandpa happily arranged the bowls and chopsticks, "Your Uncle Li caught them, bring us a few."

Sitting at the table, Fang Tang stared at the bright red prawns boiled in white water in a daze.

"What are you staring at? Eat quickly." Grandpa picked up a few and put them in a square bowl.

Grandpa continued to pick Fang Tang, and put the few ones in his bowl.

"I have no appetite." Fang Tang said.

Grandpa put down the chopsticks and looked at Fang Tang: "Be honest, did you quarrel with Xiao Ji?"

"No."

"I saw Xiao Ji coming many times, but he didn't come into the house to look for you."

Fang Tang was a little surprised.

He would receive text messages from Ji Chi every day, but Ji Chi never came to him.

I have endured it for a long time.

In the past few days, I have thought about many things, including the past and the future, and the image of Ji Chi can't get rid of in my mind.

"grandfather."

"Ok?"

"If I don't get married for the rest of my life and live with Ji Chi, is that okay?"

After asking this question, Fang Tang regretted it. He shouldn't have stimulated his grandfather.

How is it possible to live together without getting married?

How could it be possible without descendants?

He told Ji Chi that we couldn't be together anymore, but now he wanted to go back on his word, and he blurted out to let his grandfather know what he thought.

but.

"Yes." Grandpa smiled.

"Recently, I found that my health is getting worse and worse. As long as you continue to live a good life after grandpa's death, grandpa has no objection."

Fang Tang put a few prawns in his grandfather's bowl: "Usually I don't want to eat them, but now you have to eat the ones I put in the bowl for you."

"Eat, eat." Grandpa was very happy.

Fang Tang made a decision.

"Grandpa, I want to find him later."

Brother Hong is right, Lin Zhi's location shows exactly this village.

The village where Fang Tang and his grandfather lived.

The astonishing coincidence left Ji Chi at a loss.

"Dongzi, is there any result?"

"Brother Ji, the door of the abandoned warehouse is closed, but there are a few people hanging out outside, they should be lookouts."

"Did they have guns?"

"Maybe not."

"Then can you see vehicles coming in and out of the warehouse?"

"A military green off-road vehicle was parked."

Army green SUV.

After hanging up the phone, he called Ji Xiao.

Ji Xiao soon arrived at the village, this time driving two police cars, each with seven or eight armed police officers and soldiers, fully armed, including Ji Xiao who also carried a gun.

They lurked for a while, observing the terrain and setting up roadblocks to prevent anyone from escaping.

Ji Xiao firmly believed that Zhang Xiang was inside, so he told Ji Chi not to go in, but to stay outside.

Ji Chi sat on the co-pilot of the police outside and watched the abandoned warehouse closely.

"Stay still! Police!"

Ji Chi saw them raising their guns from a distance, and several police officers subdued the people at the door in an instant.

The others, led by Ji Xiao, blasted open the door and rushed in to arrest them.

But Ji Chi saw that when the door was blasted open, two people suddenly came out of the back door of the warehouse in a panic.

One of them is Zhang Xiang!He took a gun in his hand, opened the door and got on the off-road vehicle.

In an instant, the warehouse caught fire, and thick smoke billowed.

Zhang Xiang set fire to it.

"Hello? Brother, Zhang Xiang has escaped!"

When Ji Xiao rushed out of the thick smoke, Ji Chi immediately told him.

"Chase!"

In the car, Ji Xiao said that the warehouse is full of drugs and semi-finished products, it seems that this is a den for manufacturing drugs.There are so many pens, which means that he wants to make a big pen.When Zhang Xiang ran away in a hurry, he burned all the drugs, but fortunately some of them were not burned.These must be taken back as physical evidence.

At this time, Ji Xiao's phone rang.

Ji Xiao picked it up.

"Hey?"

"Bitch."

Zhang Xiang's voice was vicious, but Ji Xiao said without any emotion, "Zhang Xiang, you can't escape."

"Don't force me."

"You have to surrender."

"Bitch, hehe."

Ji Xiao heard a gunshot coming from the other end of the phone!

Zhang Xiang hung up the phone.

Ji Chi also heard the loud noise on the other end of the phone.

"Is it gunfire?"

"Yes."

How could there be gunshots? !

Ji Xiao's premonition of bad psychology is getting stronger and stronger.

He shot and killed?Or hurt someone?Several people?Is it old or young?

The only thing to do is hunt him down with all your might!

"Fang Tang and his grandfather live here."

After a while, Ji Chi said in a dull voice.

Ji Chi couldn't get through on the phone, and Fang Tang couldn't find him in the hut either.

It was raining, and Fang Tang didn't bring an umbrella.

He had to walk all the way home in the rain.

The road was a little slippery, and Fang Tang almost fell down several times.

This weather is too bad.

It took more than an hour to walk home, and he finally came home, and he felt a sense of relief.

He wiped the water off his body, not wanting his grandpa to find out that he was drenched. Grandpa's eyes are not good, so he can probably get away with it.

But when he entered the yard and saw everything in front of him, his mind suddenly went blank.

The scene in front of him shocked him.

Grandpa fell in the middle of the yard!like a statue.

"grandfather!"

Fang Tang shouted and rushed over.

There was a lot of blood on Grandpa's body, almost staining his clothes red. It was raining, and the red was washed away by the rain, and the blood almost stained the entire yard.

There's a bloody hole in his chest, it's the muzzle of a gun!

How could it be the muzzle?

His body was already stiff, and no blood flowed from the blood hole in his chest.

Fang Tang stretched out his hand, but he couldn't breathe.

This indicates.

Grandpa is gone.

Grandpa... is gone?

Fang Tang couldn't believe it.

We still eat together at noon.

He ate prawns, and he was usually reluctant to eat good ones, because he ate them because of his own persuasion.

When he went out to find Ji Chi, his grandfather told him to take Ji Chi home with him.

But how did he—

Without saying a word, he left.

He didn't even know who the murderer was.

Fang Tang picked up his grandfather's body and sat there motionless.

There was thunder in the sky, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, as if trying to dilute the blood on the ground to cover up everything that happened here.

Fang Tang said softly, "I don't have a home anymore."

Ji Chi stood quietly behind him without opening his umbrella.
