riddle

Two days later, Han Nuoshang and Gu Ci finally got Doctor You's permission to leave the hospital and return to the police station to help investigate the case.

At the entrance of the hospital, Han Nuoshang was thinking about how to get back. His car had been destroyed, but Gu Ci's car was still at the police station—was he taking a taxi?Or call someone to pick it up?

At this time, a black Bentley crossed the main road and stopped in front of the two of them. Before Han Nuoshang realized what was going on, the driver got out of the car and went straight to Gu Ci.

"Mr. Gu, the car you want!" The driver handed over the car keys.

Gu Ci took the key and nodded to him: "Thank you."

"It's not hard."

The driver was also straightforward, turned around and left after speaking, and didn't know whether he wanted to take a taxi or find someone to pick him up, anyway, it was not under Han Nuoshang's control.

Gu Ci dropped the key and threw it into Han Nuoshang's arms, without giving him any reaction, he directly got into the co-pilot.

Han Nuoshang raised his eyebrows slightly--was he very conscious this time!

He took the key and got into the driver's seat, it's all right! Just think of it as a free driver for Gu Ci once, anyway, it's not just once.

"Isn't your car at the police station?"

"Um!"

"Huh? So what? You found a new love?"

"It's not for me, it's agreed, I will compensate you for the car!" The subtext is that this black Bentley is his new car!

Han Nuoshang paused sharply, glanced at the condition of the car, and then glanced at him uncertainly.

"You really want to give it to me. This car is more than a star and a half more expensive than my previous one."

Gu Ci cast a glance at this person who still couldn't believe it: "You can take it if I give it to you, how can there be so much nonsense."

Han Nuoshang: "..."

Well! He shut up and said nothing, this is a rich man!

There are a lot of odds and ends in the Hao Lei family, and it took a lot of effort for everyone to sort them out, and put the items that might be related to the case on the table.

Although -- there is still nothing to discover.

Seeing Han Nuoshang and Gu Ci's arrival, several people showed joy on their faces.

"Captain, deputy team, welcome back."

"Boss, it's really great that you're fine."

"Welcome back to the team."

The two looked at each other, smiled, and silently accepted the wishes of the team members.

The business is important, and the few people soon stopped playing and entered the state.

Han Nuoshang: "What did you find out about the case?"

Ying Hongxue: "Now we mainly focus on the Internet, and some special things we found in Hao's house."

She pointed to the items on the table not far away, and the two followed her directions and walked over.

"These items shouldn't appear in Hao's house, especially this string of hands... Vice team? What's wrong with you?"

Ying Hongxue paused and didn't say any more, because she noticed that Gu Ci's complexion suddenly became extremely gloomy, and her eyes were fixed on the bracelets.

Han Nuoshang also noticed Gu Ci's strangeness, stretched out his hand and gently pushed him.

"Gu Ci, are you alright?"

Gu Ci closed his eyes to calm down his emotions.

"I know this bracelet." He stretched out his hand to pick up the bracelet, and his white fingers trembled unconsciously.

Lin Chenyi was surprised: "Where did you see it?"

Gu Ci smiled back: "This is mine in the first place!"

Everyone froze in place, firstly because they didn't know how his things appeared at the crime scene, and secondly because they couldn't understand why he bought this bracelet.

"This is my seventh birthday present to Xiaoqing." Gu Ci paused, as if he was a little nostalgic, "I took this photo at a blind auction with my father, if I remember correctly—it seems to be 90 is coming."

It was 40 more expensive than Lin Chenyi expected, and everyone didn't know what to think at this time.

Gu Ci: "However, this bracelet disappeared after my family had an accident 12 years ago!"

It was probably taken away by the murderer!

There was silence in the office, and the person who wanted to comfort him looked at his indifferent face, but couldn't say anything.

Han Nuoshang and Ying Hongxue were standing next to him, if they hadn't seen his slightly trembling hands, they might have felt that he was really fine.

Ying Hongxue took a step forward and stood in front of Gu Ci.

"Deputy team, I want to chat with you alone, is that okay?"

Gu Ci glanced at her in surprise, unable to understand what she meant, subconsciously glanced at Han Nuoshang at the side, finally nodded and walked into Han Nuoshang's independent office.

Ying Hongxue followed behind him, and closed the door without any hassle, blocking all probing eyes from the door.

Han Nuoshang raised his head and focused his eyes on Lin Chenyi who was not far away. Both of them were confused, and they didn't know what was going on with them!

Gu Ci: "What do you want to talk about?"

Ying Hongxue poured him a glass of water.

"Deputy team, you don't have to be so guarded against me, we are colleagues!"

"..." He approached the warm water, looked up at her, "I'm sorry, I... I'm used to it."

I am used to being on guard against others all the time, but Ying Hongxue is the first person who can see it. After all, many people are always guarded but don't know it.

"It's okay." Ying Hongxue smiled at him, and sat opposite him, "Actually, your psychological problems have never been healed, have you?"

Gu Ci narrowed his eyes, he didn't speak, and he didn't know whether it was acquiescence or what, just quietly listening to Ying Hongxue's words.

"You have been pretending to do nothing, you have been pretending that you don't care about anything, and you have even deceived yourself." Ying Hongxue paused, tapping her fingers on the table again and again, "But conditioned reflexes are uncontrollable Yes, what happened back then left a huge shadow on you, so that you lost control at the scene of the case that day, and when you saw your family's things again, you actually felt a lot of pressure in your heart!"

Gu Ci's fingers curled slightly, then he raised his eyes and smiled at her: "So? So what?"

He already knew from the day when the crime scene lost control that someone would definitely find out that something was wrong with him. The first person was Han Nuoshang. Although he didn't say anything, he was always explaining him intentionally or unintentionally these days. .

And Ying Hongxue - pointed it out in front of his face.

"I think you lost control of your emotions that day. It shouldn't just be the excitement brought to you by the scene of the crime. Can you tell me there are other reasons?"

Ying Hongxue still remembered that Gu Cike did not appear in the criminal investigation team's office that day, it is said that he had asked for leave.

Gu Ci couldn't help but look at this girl with admiration, this keen observation really makes people uncomfortable.

Unhappy, Gu Ci obediently answered her question, "November 11th is the anniversary of my family's death."

Ying Hongxue was stunned for a moment, at this moment she really felt that the murderer came straight to Gu Ci.

After a while, she suppressed the shock in her heart and returned to her usual tone.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to!"

Gu Ci: "I know!"

"But deputy team, have you ever thought about recalling that childhood memory, maybe there will be something in it that will let you untie your knot..."

Gu Ci directly interrupted her: "Speak directly, what do you want to do?"

"..." Gu Ci's operation was too straightforward, and he didn't want to wait for her to finish laying the groundwork. "I want to hypnotize you."

"I refuse!" Gu Ci was still very straightforward, but then he remembered that the person opposite him was a girl, and his tone seemed not very good, "You know, it's hard for me to trust others, it's not sure if you can hypnotize me , and that restricted area of ​​memory always gives me a very dangerous feeling, what if I collapse immediately after thinking about it?"

Ying Hongxue didn't speak anymore, because what Gu Ci said was exactly what she was worried about, but Gu Ci's current state is not far from mental breakdown...

"Deputy team, I'm just making an opinion. If you don't want to, I won't say it again!"

Gu Ci nodded: "Thank you!"

When the two walked out of the office, they tacitly didn't bring up any issues they had talked about, as if nothing really happened.

Everyone didn't have time to ask questions - because Lin Chenyi received a sudden phone call.

After picking up the receiver for a while, he called out to Han Nuoshang: "Boss, there is a man named Qi Zhao who wants you to answer the phone."

Hearing this familiar name, Gu Ci frowned unconsciously.

Although Han Nuoshang was a little surprised, he still walked over and took the microphone.

"Hello, Han Nuoshang, Criminal Investigation Team of Xiancheng City Bureau." A very iconic way of greeting.

"Han, Team Han." Qi Zhao's trembling voice came along the phone line, "It's me, I'm Qi Zhao!"

Han Nuoshang: "I know, did you think of any clues and wanted to tell me?"

Qi Zhao seemed a little excited when he heard Han Nuoshang's voice, but couldn't help but jump for joy.

"I remembered... I remembered something, can we... meet and talk about it?"

Han Nuoshang frowned slightly: "Can't we talk on the phone?"

Gu Ci, who was standing not far away, was even more displeased when he heard this sentence... He didn't know how he felt, anyway, he just hated this Qi Zhao very much.

The voice of the person on the other side of the phone was a little trembling, and the voice became thinner unconsciously: "I, I dare not say it on the phone, I am afraid... can you come out to see me? I can tell you everything I know Tell you."

Han Nuoshang: "Okay, you decide the location."

Is that a promise?Gu Ci inexplicably felt very unhappy.

After Han Nuoshang put down the phone, he arranged tasks for everyone.

"Hongxue and Chen Yi continued to watch the news on the Internet. Chu Han and Xiao Song went to the school of the two children to inquire about their relationship."

As for Bai Yinchen, he can arrange it however he wants. Anyway, he has already finished his job, so he can do whatever he wants.

Gu Ci's words -- Han Nuoshang directly grabbed his shoulder and walked out.

"Let's go, you go out with my brother on a field trip."

Gu Ci took a look at this brazen man, if it wasn't because his hand was injured and it hurt when he moved it, he would definitely have chopped it open with a knife.

Qi Zhao asked Han Nuoshang to meet at a restaurant. Before entering, Gu Ci paid special attention to the signboard of this restaurant - it is a very romantic restaurant for couples. It is already obvious what Qi Zhao wants to do!

But what made people very speechless was that with Han Nuoshang's unusually calm face, Gu Ci really wanted to kick him and ask him how he could be so calm.

As far as Han Nuoshang himself is concerned, he naturally knows what kind of restaurant this is, but he and Qi Zhao are men, and there is Gu Ci next door, so there is really nothing to think about.

Qi Zhao booked his seat in a relatively remote corner, and when he looked up, he could see Han Nuoshang coming from the door, and his joyful expression disappeared in two seconds because of the deputy team following behind him. .

Gu Ci looked at his changing face the whole time, and really found it quite interesting, but unfortunately, only Gu Ci could see such an interesting expression of his, and Han Nuoshang could not see anything from that angle, nor could he see it. Knowing whether this Qi Zhao was intentional or just an accident.

"Mr. Qi, do you have any clues to give us?"

Han Nuoshang sat down and got straight to the point.

Gu Ci didn't pay much attention to the conversation between them, he just stretched his legs and sat next to Han Nuoshang, and very easily picked up the menu on the side to look through.

He was like an angel descending to earth, the man enveloped in the yang was elegantly and lazily flipping through the menu in front of him, indifferent to the two people next door.

After a long time, Qi Zhao silently stopped his scrutiny and focused on Han Nuoshang.

"Captain Han, the food here is very good, don't you want to try it?"

Han Nuoshang originally wanted to directly refuse, after all, it is the most important thing to get clues earlier now, but it is already noon, it is no problem for him not to eat, but Gu Ci has not eaten yet, he does not want to let Gu Ci eat Be hungry with yourself.

He stretched out his hand and poked Gu Ci who was in a daze.

Gu Ci came back to his senses, and slapped his paw away, his eyes were full of - are you stupid?

Han Nuoshang withdrew his claws embarrassingly, the conscience of heaven and earth, he really just wanted to bring Gu Ci back to his senses, he didn't intend to poke his head on purpose.

"Ahem..." He pretended to cough, "It's already noon, are you hungry, do you want lunch?"

Gu Ci rolled his eyes, observed Qi Zhao's reaction from the corner of his eye, and suddenly smiled back: "I'm hungry, give me some, anyway, you know my taste."

After finishing speaking, he continued to turn his head and stare out the window in a daze, feeling quite a sense of a successful prank in his heart.

Han Nuoshang responded, he really knows Gu Ci's taste - there's no way, this person doesn't like to eat well, Han Nuoshang still remembers the time he had a stomach problem, and he didn't forget the doctor's order .

So since they knew each other for the past two months, Han Nuoshang has been staring at him to eat almost all the time, so he naturally knows his taste, although he still has to take care of him so that he is not so picky.

It's just that their familiar friendship has changed in other people's eyes. Qi Zhao looked at the two people whose faces were taken for granted, and curled his fingers slightly, trying not to distort his face. stand up.

"You two have such a good relationship!"

Qi Zhao's dry words finally attracted the attention of the two of them again.

Gu Ci just raised his eyebrows at him and didn't speak, while Han Nuoshang on the other side grabbed Gu Ci after ordering and said to Qi Zhao.

"That's natural, we're made for each other."

"Oh~ that's really... really a good thing." Qi Zhao picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea lightly, to hide his annoyance.

Gu Ci looked at Qi Zhao with little interest, and moved his hand to his teacup, but before he picked up the cup, he was stopped by the other hand, and cast a suspicious glance at him.

Han Nuoshang handed him a glass of milk, and moved the teacup in his hand to his face.

"You are still a patient, so you should not drink tea."

Gu Ci: "..."

Which hospital stipulated that patients could not drink tea, so he asked Uncle Huang to close that hospital so as not to mislead his children.

But Gu Ci still didn't express his complaint after all, he just took a sip of milk obediently.

Then he frowned and looked at Han Nuoshang: "Sweet?"

He seems to have made it clear many times that he doesn't like sweets, why does this person always want to give him something sweet.

However, Han Nuoshang made a one-sided attack, just ignoring Gu Ci's complaints.

Han Nuoshang: "Mr. Qi, can you tell me the clues you know now?"

Qi Zhao, who has been forgotten for a long time, now I don't know if I should be thankful that these two people still remember his existence!

"It's like this, I remember... I remember..." Qi Zhao gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, "Mr. Hao once... mentioned to me that he has a very good friend."

very good friend?Han Nuoshang and Gu Ci glanced at each other. Aren't the Hao Lei family and everyone around them very good friends?

Qi Zhao also seemed to see their doubts, and took the initiative to answer them: "It's different. Mr. Hao has praised him many times as a friend, and his relationship is better than others... But I have never met him. I also know some of Mr. Hao’s other friends more or less, but this one... I’ve only heard about him, but I’ve never met him.”

Gu Ci frowned, and said coldly: "It's this clue that you asked us out? Why can't you just say this over the phone?"

Han Nuoshang also wanted to know the answer, but he didn't expect Gu Ci to ask directly like this.

"I... I... I'm really..." Qi Zhao's eyes turned red when he asked him, "I'm just scared, really... I didn't mean it, you, don't..."

Seeing that he was about to cry, Han Nuoshang didn't want to say anything, but waved his hand to signal that he understood.

"Okay, we didn't mean to blame you, so do you know the name of his friend?"

"Cheng Xiao, I remember his name is Cheng Xiao, by the way... and his wife is called Li Yue." Qi Zhao slowly put away his crying voice, "I know, that's all I know. Can I help you?"

Han Nuoshang smiled back: "Yes, thank you for the clues you provided."

Qi Zhao also laughed, but this smile fell into Gu Ci's eyes, but it was a strong sense of disobedience.
