please don't believe me

1 month 2 day.

"As a result, Christmas and New Years were all consumed in the city."

Dai Bowen stood in front of the window, overlooking the city.He likes to stand in front of the window of the apartment, overlooking the distant city from here, the wide view makes people feel calm.The clear sky outside is as clear as blue, which is different from the gray and depressing snow days before.Under the sun, rows of glass-encased buildings seem to be shining.

The New Year holiday is not over yet, this is a good weather for traveling.

"At least we can start traveling again." Shen Xiuyuan came over and handed Dai Bowen a drink, "Some people can't help it."

"Oh..." Dai Bowen put the goblet under his nose and smelled it, and a mild and fresh fruity aroma came out, "You mean Mela, Katrin and Carlos?"

The case is still under trial. As complete victims, Dai Bowen and Matthew can basically act at will now after cooperating with the police in all evidence collection and investigations.But the suspects are different. The procuratorate and civil lawyers are trying their best to prove their crimes and get them severely punished.

"Meera counts as one, and Katrin's fate... also counts." Shen Xiuyuan looked out the window, and slowly sipped the fruity wine in his glass, "As for Carlos..."

Dai Bowen heard the sternness in his tone, turned his head to look at him, and then smiled: "Well, I know... If you can't kill the big devil, other shrimp soldiers and crab generals can't appease your anger at all, can they? ?”

Dai Bowen turned and leaned against the glass, shaking the glass in his hand: "Besides, Meera is at most an informant and an accomplice. She is neither the mastermind nor involved in the activities. How many years can be locked up, and the most civil compensation is to kill her. Oh, on this point, I still trust your lawyer very much.

"And Katrin...we don't even know where she ends up being held. Poor kid, wakes up with no memory of Elaine, insists she doesn't remember what happened. If she passes the mental illness test, probably I wouldn’t go to prison.” Dai Bowen seemed to be staring at the liquor in the glass, showing a vague smile, “To be honest, I don’t even know where forced nursing homes and prisons are worse. "

Shen Xiuyuan looked at him: "The memory stays in a month and a half ago, and when I woke up, I found myself on a speeding airship, and there were two corpses with headshots beside me... Katrin's result is your masterpiece, great magician. "

Dai Bowen gave him a squinting look, with a vague meaning: "Hey, I just did what I should do."

For example, hypnotizing Elaine, making her shoot at the person closest to her with her back facing her the moment she hears her name; The name is actually the moment when the judgment object is locked.

Shen Xiuyuan smiled: "Sounds easier than hypnotizing Shen Yuyao when she shot me?"

"Elaine is not from here, she has no feelings for Carlos and his group. If she treats this as a game like we did before, she will feel less guilty." Dai Bowen lowered his head again, "Katrin is also counted. Not to mention completely innocent, she has new calluses caused by holding a gun in her hand, and she took the initiative to contact Matthew. If it wasn't for Elaine's arrival, I'm afraid there would be no buffer for the five days."

"You've planned it out, you've thought of everyone's reactions...but did you ever think I'd be worried, I'd be scared?"

Dai Bowen was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head to look at him.

Shen Xiuyuan stood in front of him, put one hand on the glass behind him, and leaned close to him: "Every time I bring up this topic with you, I can't help but recall the feelings at that time, and I have never found peace. I have been thinking about it for several days. Don't tell you, after all you are a victim and I'm afraid it will have a negative impact on you..."

Dai Bowen moved the wine glass slightly, and put his arm around his neck: "Tell me, Shen Xiuyuan, don't hide it from me. I am a victim, and so are you, but we can protect and heal each other, okay?"

Shen Xiuyuan pressed his forehead to him, was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Do you know that you are standing in front of that kidnapper, very close to Katrin? It was a little accidental that she shot so close. The bullet may pass through that bastard's head and hit you. It may even hit you directly! I watched this happen from within ten meters, do you know?"

"I know, I know..." Dai Bowen raised his head slightly and kissed the man's lips, "I know maybe I have a better choice, and I shouldn't even activate this hypnosis, but I'm also afraid. Dear, I I'm also afraid..."

...It still aroused his negative emotions, Shen Xiuyuan secretly thought.He got closer to Dai Bowen, locked him tightly in his arms, and replied: "It's normal for you to be afraid, baby, no one will be calm in a kidnapping case, and no one should get used to it."

"No, that's not what I'm talking about." Dai Bowen smiled wryly. "I'm not sure, but I seem to hear the sound of a gun being loaded from Katlin's direction. She must be aiming at you..."

So Dai Bowen would rather fight to divert the gun.

Originally, he only planned to use the judgment of heresy to restrict Katlin's actions, and temporarily add some chaos to the kidnappers.Because after the host is judged by heresy, the body will fall directly. This is the experience gained from the last judgment mission.However, the faint "click" sound came from his ear, which made him resolutely superimpose the plan.

Dai Bowen didn't want to talk about it at first, so he treated it as a secret.But Shen Xiuyuan spoke out what was in his heart, and Dai Bowen felt that he had nothing to hide.Feelings of worry, reactions of fear, speaking up are not bad things.

This time it was Shen Xiuyuan's turn to be stunned.

They discussed this case countless times in the past few days, and everything they did when they were separated, but Dai Bowen never mentioned this detail.

Shen Xiuyuan was there to save someone, but it is very possible that Dai Bowen saved him while he was being shot to the head.

That "Eilian" was the "magic" that pulled the muzzle of the girl's gun, making the ballistic move away from Shen Xiuyuan's body.

This scene was repeated in Shen Xiuyuan's mind, and he was speechless for a while.His heart beat violently, he put the cup on the window sill, and hugged the person in his arms tightly with both hands.

The strength was a bit strong, but Dai Bowen didn't show any dissatisfaction.He also put down the glass and hugged the man back with both hands.

They just leaned against the window quietly for a while, until Dai Bowen's cell phone rang.

Shen Xiuyuan let go of him, allowing the other party to take out his mobile phone.Dai Bowen looked at the screen, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's Eric."

"Oh..." Shen Xiuyuan said meaningfully, "It seems that Carlos has an answer."

Carlos is a drug lord, the backbone of a gang, the mastermind of a kidnapping case, and illegal possession of guns and ammunition.His results, which seemed certain, were actually the most tortuous.

On the day before the new year, Shen Xiuyuan received a call from his lawyer, saying that Carlos might not be tried in country A.

Although the trial has not yet started, this is the information that Zhiyuan Group's lawyers got from the police, saying that it is "possible", but everyone knows that it will develop like this if there are no accidents.And the police did not give a specific reason, only saying that it was a decision made by the court in accordance with the extradition regulations.

RDC's laws are useless, and extraditing Carlos back is equivalent to letting the tiger go back to the mountain.Moreover, no one believes that people who commit crimes in country A will be extradited for no reason.

The only possibility is that someone interfered with it.

The lawyer who didn't ask the reason provided a clue. He recognized the attorney representing Carlos from James' group.

The firms in charge of large groups are the most famous ones, and the lawyers in them know each other, which is perfectly normal.

Therefore, when Shen Xiuyuan asked someone to investigate this matter in private, Dai Bowen also called Eric, the head of Russell's studio, and asked him to interview James to find out what he wanted to do.

Two days later, Eric's call came.

"Honestly speaking, James should want you to know, otherwise I wouldn't inquire so quickly." Eric didn't talk nonsense, straight to the point, "Carlos has reached an agreement with the Bureau of Investigation, and he seems to say something that is very important to the authorities. Important information in exchange for a chance of extradition. Do you know the LT congressman who has been in the limelight recently, he is the main force behind this matter, so...you know why you saw James' lawyer."

Things that are clearly stated in a few words, but the joints are difficult to intervene in every step. No wonder James is willing to leak such confidential things.

"...Thank you, Eric." Dai Bowen thought for a while, and then said, "Hey, Eric, I don't want to tell you what to do, but I think..."

Eric's laughter came from the other end: "Speak directly, Dai, there is no secret between the two of us."

"Okay." Dai Bowen said, "I think you should reconsider the cooperation with James. He has political tendencies, and you need to frequently visit the highest office and various secret departments. If the studio's image of a neutral third party is shaken ..."

Dai Bowen didn't go on, but Eric already understood what he meant.After a moment of silence, Eric smiled: "I understand what you mean, I will consider it."

His tone may not sound serious, but Dai Bowen is benevolent and righteous, so it is not easy to go deeper.They chatted some more innocuous gossip before hanging up the phone.

Shen Xiuyuan leaned beside him, and the loudspeaker of the phone enabled him to hear Eric's words clearly.He moved the glass away from his lips slightly, and his obscure eyes fell on Dai Bowen's mobile phone: "Hey... a deal, huh?"

"I've heard of this kind of thing." Dai Bowen locked his phone, and he also sneered, "I just didn't expect it to happen to me... I seem to have been unlucky in the mission?"

"Someone will always be unlucky, just like someone will always die." Shen Xiuyuan's deep voice was filled with some kind of danger, "RDC is a mixed bag, and people die on the streets every day... Guess who is next?"

Dai Bowen raised his eyebrows, leaned closer, and kissed the man's chin with a low smile, without answering.He raised his eyes to look at people, Shen Xiuyuan's favorite eyes - confident, happy, and proud, like a "bad boy" who controls every step of the prank.

What makes Shen Xiuyuan even more tempted is that there is still obvious trust in the eyes looking at him now.

Shen Xiuyuan kissed the other party's lips, but restrained himself from going deeper.He looked at his watch, drank the fruit wine in the glass in one go, and smiled at the other party: "It's time, let's go."

Dai Bowen followed behind him, and drank the wine in his glass as he walked.

Peach-flavored fruit wine, sweet but not greasy.Men rarely touch this drink, but once in a while, it feels good.

The men walked past the table, and two empty glasses were placed on the table one after another, next to two bottles of fruit wine that had bottomed out.There are simple and warm line drawings on the body of the wine bottle, interpreting a plain but warm story.

Heaven's grace, true love is eternal.

Downstairs in the hotel apartment, two teenagers were standing at the gate, waiting.

"Listen, Leo, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's that they don't come to country A very often, okay? You want to chase stars, and I can't help you." The brown-haired boy said to the person next to him, "I might Not here anymore."

The red-haired boy next to him faltered for a while, and replied: "I know, Matthew. I just want to meet him, thank him, and tell him that I also want to study psychology... I will pass the exam myself!"

Matthew rolled his eyes: "Just for that website? Come on, Leo. He's more powerful than you think. It's just his effort, and you don't need to be treated so grandly."

Leo thought for a while: "...I still want to thank him."

"Well, whatever you like, I hope you won't be so nervous that you can't speak." Matthew put his pockets in his pockets and frequently checked the crowds in the hotel lobby.Group after group of people came out of the elevator, and Matthew had a feeling that he would soon see the person they were waiting for.

"They're here!"

The figures of two men appeared in the stream of people walking out of the elevator, and the teenagers cheered up and rushed up to meet them.
