critical

Yan Ji didn't hesitate about this, but his expression was startled, and he hesitated before speaking: "Well, I was in the coffee shop, and I received a call from Director Ying. She is a serious and responsible policeman, and she always cared about whether I was safe or not. We are in danger again, do we need to send someone to protect us..."

[Xiwushan Police Station.

Ying Zhao was talking to Yang Shuhui when the phone vibrated and a message popped up.To see the sender clearly, you should raise your eyebrows and click on the video with your fingertips.

The video camera screen scans around first, and locals can see the location at a glance.Then the camera is condescending to the road, a group of pedestrians crossing the zebra crossing to the left, gradually approaching Lao Wu's white Ford car.

Suddenly, the voice of "Oh, thief! Catch the thief!" came from a distance in the video.

The door of the small white Ford was pushed open, and Old Wu rushed out.At this moment, the camera suddenly zoomed in, zooming in to get a close-up of Old Wu's fat, middle-aged face.

The video was very short, Ying Zhao played it again, and finally the picture was fixed on Lao Wu's vigilant and dazed face again.

Yang Shuhui laughed loudly, looked at the video, then looked at his director, and quickly lowered his head to pretend he didn't see it.It was the first time he saw such a complicated expression on the director's face, and he didn't know if it was a headache or a toothache.

Ying Zhao drank the iced coffee in one gulp, and then dialed Yan Ji's phone: "Listen to the voice, I think Uncle Ge You's "Party A and Party B". Have you seen such an old movie?"

Yan Ji answered honestly: "I found the ringtone on the Internet."

You should press your brows.

Yang Shuhui's head was even lower, thinking that Old Wu was vigilant and dazed looking around like a naive groundhog.Yang Shuhui couldn't help laughing, feeling pitiful and burning on his face.Old Wu is the most experienced police officer in the Qiwushan Police Station...

Suddenly, Yang Shuhui shivered when he remembered that he had eaten Yan Ji's two buns and didn't give him any money.

Ying Zhao didn't look like a smile at all. She noticed that the second before the camera zoomed in, the little girl holding a sun umbrella quickly threw the bag in her hand into the trash bag. The throwing movements were precise and agile, obviously professionally trained.

Ying Zhao instructed Yang Shuhui to call Lao Wu so that he would not have to dig out the trash can in the hot weather, while she continued to practice Tai Chi with Yan Ji: "Investigate Zhang Gongyu's whereabouts? within my purview."

Yan Ji complimented politely: "With the ability of the director, this must be a small problem. There is another photo, and I would like to ask you to help check this motorcycle."

As Yan Ji said, he forwarded the picture just sent by Lu Yanqi, the brother of the milk tea shop, to Ying Zhao.

The photo is a surveillance screenshot. Because of the angle problem, only half of the front of the white motorcycle can be seen.The angle of the motorcycle is tilted, and the details are blurred, but judging from the shape of the front of the motorcycle, it should be expensive, and there are not many stocks in this city.

Ying Zhao looked at the photo: "Well, it's okay to think of a way. Speaking of which, there are old and young in Old Wu, and he can support his family with his little salary, and this month's bonus will be paid to you."

Yan Ji didn't want to use Old Wu to threaten Ying Zhao, she just wanted an opportunity to talk to Ying Zhao on an equal footing: "Director Ying, I never thought of 'asking' you for help with the matter of Officer Wu. I admire the responsible attitude of the situation. I think sharing information can give us two outsiders a more comprehensive understanding of the situation."

After a pause, Yan Ji raised his stake: "I happened to pick up a few empty bullet casings that night at Dianjin Pharmaceutical. I would like to ask you to see if I can ask someone to do a ballistic appraisal."

Ying Zhao's eyes almost brightened, her red lips curled up charmingly, and her tone of voice carried a profound meaning: "Yan Ji, I hope this time, we can all get the truth we want."]

"I told Director Ying that there must be some reason behind the teacher's frequent trips to the vicinity of Guanqiao Village, and I want to ask her to help investigate the teacher's whereabouts." Yan Ji glanced at Yan Deng, "Director Ying began to disagree. , but she may have been suspicious of you very early on, after hearing that you approached me as a teacher friend, let me not expose it and agree to share clues."

"Oh." Yan Deng said indifferently, he picked up the phone and fiddled with it with his head down.

Yan Ji couldn't figure out what Yan Deng was thinking, after all, Yan Deng never played cards according to routine: Did she hear that I was lying?Or do I just intuit that I'm hiding something?Or, she has been sending people to follow me secretly, knowing where I have been, who I have met, and what I have done.Now it's just playing with me like watching a clown show.

Yan Deng pushed the phone, picked up the drink cup and said casually: "It seems that we had a very happy chat."

Yan Ji looked at Yan Deng's mobile phone screen, and the map software showed that it only takes 13 minutes to get here from the passenger terminal.In other words, unless Yan Ji chatted with Ying Zhao for nearly 40 minutes, there was no way to explain her being late for so long.

Yan Ji secretly heaved a sigh of relief, bowed his head and waited for a while before saying, "I went to Century Garden."

【After finishing the phone call with Ying Zhao, Yan Ji put away his sketchbook and got up to go outside.The farce of catching the thief that just happened has ended, and the crowd of onlookers hurried away to avoid the scorching sun.

Yan Ji looked down at his phone, walked to the side of the road and waved to the oncoming cars.The popularization of the Internet has made online car-hailing extremely convenient and popular, which is a common scene on the roadside.

Yan Ji opened the door and got in the car, Eleven gritted his teeth and said, "I really want to kill you!"

Yan Ji was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry."

Eleven rolled his eyes: "Just saying sorry is useless, how are you going to compensate me?"

Yan Ji pursed his lips: "I'm sorry to tease you, but you didn't abide by the agreement, not one of them. We agreed to cooperate in private, and you provided the files of Jing Xing and Yan Deng. But you only gave me almost useless files. The first page, and the number of pages below it, you don’t even bother to forge a copy.”

Eleven showed embarrassment, and after coming over for a while, he muttered: "I can't help it."

Yan Ji expressed his understanding: "If you go to the appointment openly, at least you will be furious after being teased. Even if you don't kill me with your car, you are unlikely to come to pick me up again. Unless this has been upgraded to a task. The task assigned by the superior is still a little wronged. To finish."

"A little wronged?!" Eleven cursed in a low voice, punching the steering wheel.

Yan Ji wrote down the words "Smashing the table angrily" in the sketchbook, and raised his head to remind: "Turn left ahead and go to Century Garden, thank you."]

Saying the words "Century Garden", Yan Ji looked deeply at Yan Deng: "It's the first time I saw you. The bald taxi driver I saw was one of yours, right? Jing Xing has no reason to let the eldest lady take a taxi by herself. Is it even possible that he was in the car at the time?"

"At that time, Jing Xing was out of town." Yan Deng and Yan Ji looked at each other with playfulness in their eyes, "You don't need to change the subject. I saw the electricity bill card in Zhang Gong and his wallet. You went to Century Garden that night and knocked on the door and saw a bald man. , I was in the room at the time. But we were one step too late, the house was emptied, and even the floor was pried."

Yan Ji didn't expect this news, and his thoughts were confused for a while: "Director Ying said, the room in Shijia Garden is indeed rented by the teacher. The only one who can happen to be one step ahead is the murderer who hurt the teacher? No, it can't be that monster , so it's Director Ji?"

Yan Ji followed this line of thinking and continued to deliberate: "Ji Dong and the teacher know each other, this should be true. Some kind of agreement or other constraints did she not forcibly snatch that thing? Did she start acting after she learned that the teacher was injured?"

Yan Ji didn't know that he was infinitely close to the truth, but some key clues were missing, making this guess only a possibility.

Yan Deng didn't care about this, she just needed an opportunity, the azaleas of Ji Bao, Zhang Gongyu, and Slattrug, the muddier the water, the better.But there is no doubt that Ji Bao chose this time to cooperate with Cornwall, Zhang Gongyu's weird behavior, there must be an inevitability behind all the coincidences.

Yan Deng looked at Yan Ji with deep eyes.

Black clouds covered the sky outside the window, and the rain was pouring down.The beauty under the lamp in front of her eyes, the light and shadow in her eyes are like a clear spring and full of moonlight, full of waves.Laugh before saying a word, the beauty spot is picky, ruthless and touching.

Yan Ji froze, the alarm bell rang in his heart, and he didn't dare to be careless.

Yan Deng narrowed his eyes slightly, and his mood suddenly became extremely bad.

Yan Ji didn't know, so he picked up the map and said seriously: "I followed the route of the bus station in Century Garden Community, combined with visiting nearby breakfast shops, small supermarkets, and some clues provided by the director. I found that the teacher began to patrol the area half a year ago. The city."

Yan Ji wasn't sure if the word "inspection" was appropriate.The teacher's character is upright and rigorous, but he is far from being a city hero. Besides, even superheroes like Batman and Spiderman have their own daily lives, and they don't patrol everywhere day after day.

Yan Ji expressed his guess: "The thing you and Mrs. Ji are looking for may not be in the hands of the teacher, she is also looking for it."

Yan Deng pinched a corner of the map, and said in a weak tone, "Say so much, don't you just want to fool... Is this the right word?"

Yan Ji smiled awkwardly but politely: "This is beneficial to you, but not harmful. If you can get that thing earlier, you can take the leading position in the cooperation with the Ji family."

Yan Deng smiled, and his eyes flickered: "It sounds like it's all for me? But you don't believe anyone..."

"I believe you."

Yan Ji crossed his hands on the table, sitting upright, with light eyebrows and light eyes shrouded in a gentle light, his gaze sincerely stated: "Compared to Director Ying and Director Ji, I am more willing to believe in you."

The corner of Yan Deng's mouth curled up in a hint of sarcasm, and just about to speak, his hand was held by Yan Ji.

Yan Ji's hands were fair and slender, with thin calluses on the fingertips and the tiger's mouth.She put her palm on the back of Yan Deng's hand, clasped her thumb slightly, and the touch of her skin carried a warm aura, like sparks from a prairie fire.

Yan Deng retracted his hands in shock.

Yan Ji held it firmly, not allowing her to pull it away, and at the same time pressed lightly with his thumb.Yan Deng's skin was delicate and smooth, and it felt soft to the touch, as if it would be broken with a little force.

Yan Ji pressed Yan Deng's palm, saw that she was staring at him in a daze, as if she didn't understand, so she slightly increased the force.

Yan Ji rubbed the skin of his palm with his thumb, and the slightly itchy sensation spread along the texture of his palm, a blush rose on Yan Deng's cheeks, he subconsciously avoided Yan Ji's gaze, and turned his head to look out the window.

Yan Ji was in a hurry, leaned forward and whispered: "Don't look around, be careful to be discovered. I feel that someone is watching us."

Yan Deng slowly turned his head to look at Yan Ji, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the beauty mole at the end of his eyes moved accordingly.

Yan Ji suddenly felt bad, and his heart sank: "Where are you going?"

Yan Deng pulled out his hand: "The bathroom."

Yan Ji nodded: "I'll accompany you."

Yan Deng glanced at her: "Are you a primary school student?"

Yan Ji said seriously: "It's dangerous to act separately."

Yan Deng replied angrily: "It's dangerous if you follow me. This time, you wait for me and sit down."

Yan Ji was helpless, thinking about the people coming and going in Burger King, there must be a lot of people in the toilet, so that the plot in the movie would not happen, and besides, sitting here would also help stabilize the other party: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
