Haicheng Criminal Investigation Bureau
Chapter 8: The truth gradually emerges
The unique smell fascinated him deeply, "They are relatives, and they cannot help loving me."
"Oh?" An Yichen smiled and raised his eyebrows slightly, "What about me?"
Ning Zhiyuan, who was buried in his arms and acted like a baby, paused, straightened up and met An Yichen's deep and charming eyes, "What do you think...what are you?"
An Yichen froze for a moment, but the smile on his lips never disappeared.
"You know? I don't like your cunning look." He raised his jaw and stared into the other's clear eyes.
"I'm not cunning." Ning Zhiyuan looked a little embarrassed by him, and slightly looked away.
"Isn't it?" An Yichen lowered his head slightly, pressed his lips against his thin lips, and said word by word: "You are testing me."
"I didn't." Ning Zhiyuan pursed his lips and looked away, seemingly displeased.
He just wanted to hear a word from An Yichen, a word of love that this man seldom said to him.Every time this man says that he is duplicity, but in fact he is not.For himself, he even lost his leg, lost his bright future, and experienced painful torture, but he never complained.Even so, he rarely said that to himself.
A flash of tenderness flashed in An Yichen's eyes, he hugged Ning Zhiyuan's ribs with both hands, and forced the man to change his position in his arms, letting him directly press him under him.
"Ning Zhiyuan." He was as tender as water.
"Why?" He was very wronged.
"I love you."
"..." Ning Zhiyuan met his gaze fiercely, only to find that the man's eyes were so soft and gentle that he had never seen before.
"you……"
An Yichen smiled, "Don't you want to hear it?"
"I don't." Second Master Ning raised his mouth, but looked dismissive.
An Yichen would always be amused by his arrogant appearance, smiled and shook his head, "Why do you look more like a child the longer you grow." He nodded at Ning Zhiyuan's tall nose.
"I'm not a child." Ning Zhiyuan retorted.
While speaking, she wrapped her arms around An Yichen's chest, letting the man stick to her body so that he could hear his rhythmic and powerful heartbeat.
"An Yichen."
"Ok?"
"That's the best." He closed his eyes slightly.
An Yichen turned his body slightly to reduce the weight on his body, stretched his hand behind his neck for him to rest on, and gently stroked his soft hair.
"You're tired, I know that."
Although it was only three days, the pressure that Ning Zhiyuan had to bear was not just heavy work.He knew in his heart that what Zhiyuan was most afraid of was that he would not be able to protect Qiu's property; he was afraid that in the end, Qiu's technology would be completely collapsed;
"An Yichen." Ning Zhiyuan hugged him sideways, and buried his face in his arms.
At this moment, he didn't know what else to say.He couldn't even express the pressure and depression in his heart to this man.
'I just want to love you, why is it so hard?An Yichen, is it really so difficult to love someone?Why is it so easy for others to do it, but only you and I have to go through so many hardships?Just because I am the son of the Ning family?Or... I'm too incompetent, I can only bear the protection of my family and my lover, but I can't protect you and your family? '
"An Yichen." He opened his eyes, his lover's handsome eyebrows filled his clear eyes, "I will not collapse, Mrs. Qiu, absolutely not in my hands." He said firmly.
"I know." An Yichen's eyes softened, and he gently kissed him on the lips, "Don't worry about anything, I will help you."
"Well." He never had to doubt this man's promise.
"Go to sleep." An Yichen patted him lightly, as if coaxing a child to sleep soundly.
"You stay with me." Ning Zhiyuan held An Yichen's collar tightly.
"Okay." An Yichen nodded.
In Qiushi Technology's president's office, silence was restored.The sun at noon in winter casts a brilliant light from the large glass floor-to-ceiling windows in the south.With a hint of coldness, it makes people feel extremely warm and nostalgic in the cold season.
78. I hate you
The fire scene in Jiuquan Lane brought back two large packages of evidence. Ran Qi stood in the center of the open office area of the forensic team with arms folded, looking at the two subordinates in front of him with a condensed expression.
"What did I tell you before?" He asked in a deep voice.
The two forensic workers who were sent to the scene of the fire in Jiuquan Lane looked at each other, and both bowed their heads with guilt, not daring to say a word.
"Scientific evidence collection is the minimum ability of a forensic officer. What is the possible environmental evidence at the scene and what is useless environmental evidence, the forensic staff must have the minimum ability to distinguish." As he said, he Reaching out and pointing to the two large evidence bags next to it, "Don't think that bringing everything back from the scene is serious and responsible for your work. It is also very likely that because of your actions, all colleagues will do more. A lot of useless work, so I lost the opportunity to get in touch with favorable evidence in the first place."
"I'm sorry, Doctor Ran." Resisting the tremendous pressure, it was Xia Yi who had two years of experience in the forensic team who spoke timidly. He resisted the desire to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "But we rushed When we arrived at the deserted house in Jiuquan Lane, ambulances and fire engines had already arrived. In order to rush in to save people, they did not take into account the protection of the crime scene at all, so a lot of environmental evidence was destroyed. There was nothing we could do at that time , can only be carefully screened. But even so, there are still so many evidences that cannot be confirmed to be useful without instrumental testing."
Ran Qi stared at him for a long time with her beautiful eyebrows. The person who was originally as gentle as jade did not expect to feel so oppressive when his face turned cold.All the members of the forensic team didn't even dare to breathe, they were busy with their work.The hidden workbench on the farthest side belongs to Xiao Zhuang. When everyone else was nervous, he quietly recorded the scene of Ran Qi's domineering aura just now with his mobile phone, and then sent it to the address book for personal collection. A number in the column.
However, Ran Qi didn't know about all of this, and he was still thinking about how to conduct the most beneficial skill training for the subordinates in front of him, so as to achieve more efficient and precise work results.
When Ziqian walked in, what he saw was the scene in front of him.Ran Qi was cold and elegant, while the others were cautious, and the atmosphere was very tense.
"Doctor Ran." He hesitated for a moment, but said cautiously, "Let me take a look at the evidence report from the fire scene."
The deep and melodious male voice immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the forensic team.Everyone looked at him eagerly and expectantly. They knew very well in their hearts that the appearance of criminal policeman Yao Ziqian could not calm Dr. Ran's anger at all, but it could completely divert Dr. Ran's anger to the target.
When it comes to being shameless in front of Dr. Ran, Officer Yao is the second, probably no one dares to be the first.
Ran Qi's face froze when he heard his voice, his handsome face, which was originally only showing mild anger, was now covered with a layer of frost.
"Do you think that forensic evidence is a robot that doesn't need to rest? The evidence that was brought back last night is now coming early in the morning to report?"
"..." Ziqian was stunned on the spot, unable to answer a word for a long time.
"Not now, I will notify you when the report comes out." Ran Qi didn't even look at him, left a word coldly, turned and walked into the office.
Ziqian tilted his head in doubt, wondering where he had offended the other party this early in the morning.
"My good brother, you came in a really timely manner." Xia Yi hugged Ziqian, looking at him as if he was looking at the savior.
"What's the situation?" Ziqian, who was inexplicably stunned, expressed his innocence with his eyes.
Everyone shrugged, but they were also confused.But Dr. Ran's temper has been really bad these two days, and it's not unheard of for him to bring back a lot of useless evidence before, so why was he scolded just this time.
"Hey!" All the people sighed bitterly, and hurried back to their respective posts to get busy with the work at hand.
Ziqian stood there and looked at them puzzled, then at Ran Qi who was buried in front of the computer in the glass wall, hesitated and walked into the team leader's office.Behind him, Xiao Zhuang was hiding in the corner, with a cold light in his eyes.
'Knock knock knock' Ziqian politely knocked on the door three times, and when the person inside looked up at him coldly and then looked away, he walked in and sat down at the desk.
Ran Qi was very serious when working, typing quickly on the keyboard with his slender fingers, comparing and verifying the data calculated in the program.Ziqian sat quietly opposite him, not intending to disturb him at all, just focusing on his serious and serious handsome appearance, and couldn't help showing a knowing smile.
Ran Qi, who was concentrating on his work, didn't know what problem he encountered. He subconsciously raised his index finger to his lips, and lightly bit the side of his nail.This is a very habitual action when he encounters confusion. In Ziqian's memory, he has used countless methods to overcome this problem of the other party.And the most useful thing is that as soon as he sees him biting his fingers, he will press the person under his body and kiss him fiercely, and he will not stop until the other person is dying and only weak gasps are left.
Thinking of this, Ziqian's eyes instantly dimmed.The past invaded the memory, and it also brought pain and guilt for the past.Yao Ziqian at that time was still naive to the point of stupidity, unable to bear the crisis of falling in love with his teacher and revealing himself to the world.So, he cowardly chose to retreat and escape, throwing all the blame on the man in front of him.He only dared to hide behind the pillars of the airport alone, watching the man he loved so much flee and go abroad.
In love?
Ziqian smiled bitterly, what right did he have to say that he deeply loved the man in front of him.
He licked his lips, stood up slowly and walked to the bookshelf beside him, and then flipped through a hardcover history book that was scattered on a row of books, which contained detailed records of ancient British history.Ran Qi obviously wanted to learn about the strange patterns of the deserted houses in Jiuquan Lane through this. However, perhaps because of his busy work, he only saw the beginning, and the rest was made with a bookmark that looked like it was made by hand. to mark.
This bookmark is very delicately handmade. It uses a piece of feather as a pendant and is tied to a silver round bell in the ancient way of weaving a wreath by hand.From Ziqian's point of view, it seems that besides the ball used to make the sound, there is something embedded in the inner layer of the bell.
He knew very well what would happen if he opened Ran Qi's things without permission.However, he didn't know what happened at this moment, he just wanted to see what was inside.His heart was pounding, and he took out the bell uncontrollably with both hands, and opened the hidden mechanism on it.
"what are you doing?"
Ran Qi, who was alarmed by the sound of the bell, rushed towards him with a stride, grabbed the things in his hand without any politeness, and hid nervously behind him.
"You..." Ziqian was a little dazed, although it was only for a short moment, it was enough for him to see clearly the little photo hidden inside.
"How can you touch other people's things casually?" Ran Qi, who had always been gentle and refined, was so angry for the first time, and he glared at Ziqian angrily.
Ziqian didn't say a word, just looked at him with his deep and dark eyes without blinking.
"Please go out." Ran Qi turned his back angrily, and pointed in the direction of the door with his backhand.
However, although he tried his best to be patient, his slightly trembling body and the movement of tightly protecting the bell could not be ignored.
Ziqian put away his astonished expression, and walked to the door calmly.
Ran Qi closed his eyes only when he heard the sound of the office door closing, and his body, which had been tense all the time, relaxed as if out of strength.
Suddenly, a scorching breath came from behind, a pair of strong arms hugged him tightly from behind, and the slender waist was held in the arms of the man, and he couldn't hold it tightly.
"Am I an asshole?" Ziqian buried his face in his shoulder and neck, and asked hoarsely.
"What are you doing?" Ran Qi who was hugged was like a frightened bird, struggling in panic to escape being surrounded by this man's breath.
"Ran Qi." How could Ziqian allow him to break free, his arms were as strong as iron tongs, "You hate me, I know, I'm a bastard, I deserve to be hated by you. But I still want to tell you..."
"you shut up."
Before he could say the last few words, Ran Qi shouted and stopped him angrily.
With a low voice, he said coldly: "Let me go."
Ziqian hesitated for a moment, and finally let go.Ran Qi turned around and looked straight at him with a pair of eyes as sharp as ice.
"Yao Ziqian, don't think that I put your picture in the bell because I still have some wishful thinking about you. I was woken up by you as early as that year. I put this picture just to remind myself day and night, Let yourself remember what a stupid mistake you have made." At this point, he paused, and a resentful smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "You are right, I hate you, I hate you every day, every day Hate you. I wish you were dead, you know?"
Ziqian was startled, his sad eyes fixed on the man in front of him, "I never thought that you would..."
"What?" Ran Qi smiled sarcastically, "Hate you so much?" He narrowed his eyes and looked at Ziqian, "Yao Ziqian, you never know what you gave up on." After finishing speaking, He turned his back, never wanting to look at the man again.
"Now, please leave my office." His voice regained his composure, as calm as stagnant water.
Ziqian took a deep breath, smiled helplessly, and bent down to pick up the hardcover book that fell from the ground just now due to snatching.
"I'm sorry." He apologized, bowed his head and closed the book, intending to put it back.
Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a picture on the book, and the strange lines on it were so familiar.He looked at the picture carefully, and several things he had seen before kept appearing in his mind.
Suddenly, his eyes froze, and a guess flashed in his mind.
Glancing at Ran Qi who had always turned his back to him, he closed his eyes and put the book back, and left the office quietly.
Hearing the sound of footsteps gradually moving away and disappearing, Ran Qi slowly turned around.The pupils hidden behind the lenses are actually blocked by the light reflected from the sun, making it impossible to see through.
79. Strange symbols
At ten o'clock in the morning, the winter sun in Haicheng is not very strong. In a hidden safe passage deep in the skyscraper lobby, there is a small space on the first floor of the walking stairs. Only a small window at the top can reveal the faint light. the sun shines down.
Under the window, there is a plain figure, handsome and upright, described as restrained and gentle.
He stood quietly, looking up at the daylight outside the window, his soft hair hanging down his cheeks, covering his delicately contoured ears.From time to time, he would lightly tap the outside of his thigh with the hand hanging by his side, his slender fingers would rise and fall rhythmically, as if playing a beautiful melody.
After a while, the sunlight quietly receded from his handsome face.He lowered his head, retracted his hands on the sides of his legs and put them in his trouser pockets, turned around, walked out of the safe passage, and walked through the hall towards the outside of the building.
It was still at the flower bed on the side of the road at the turn. Before he had time to cross the road, an unremarkable gray car stopped in front of him.The car door was still opened from the inside, and looking down from where he was standing, he could only see the thin lips of the man in the driver's seat and the slender hands on the steering wheel.
"Get in the car." A familiar male voice came from inside.
He sighed slightly, bent over and sat in.
He put on his seat belt calmly, and a food bag was handed over to him immediately.
"What is it?" He didn't take it, but asked back.
"You'll know if you open it and have a look." The other party put the thing on his lap and stepped on the clutch to drive the car.
He sighed helplessly, and opened the white grocery bag.Inside is an exquisitely crafted lunch box, and beside it stands a cup of the same color and pattern.
Open it, and the steaming steamed buns and a cup of soy milk radiate an enticing aroma.
His eyes dimmed, this... used to be his favorite breakfast.Sometimes in the morning when it was too late to make breakfast for everyone, he would go to the breakfast shop near the subway station in the alley with the man carrying the light blue schoolbag to buy these two things.
"I'm not hungry." He lowered his eyes and put the things aside.
The man who was concentrating on driving looked back at him and said, "The one at the alley is your favorite food on weekdays."
He pursed his lips, seemingly displeased, "I said I'm not hungry."
Just as he was speaking, a protest came from his flat and lean abdomen.I have been busy in the morning until now, and my stomach that is still enjoying delicious food feels that I really need my favorite buns and soy milk.
The man driving the car burst out laughing with a 'puchi'. It was the first time that a calm and elegant man was so humiliated, and it was a pleasing thing.
He turned his head in embarrassment, and there was a strange red color in his earlobes.
The other party shook his head with a smile, and handed him the food again, "Eat quickly, a dignified doctor of psychology, do you want me to coax you like I did to Xiyu?"
He bit his lower lip and gave him a blank look in embarrassment.
"Let's eat." The other party didn't say any more, and focused on the road ahead.
He lowered his head and stared at the things on his lap for a long time, then with a serious face, he took out the steaming breakfast and ate it.
He has always been a gentle and refined person, even when eating.Other men gobbled it up when they were hungry, but he still managed to eat gracefully and finish his breakfast in a leisurely manner.After a meal, the other party's destination has also arrived.
He drove out the car window, "What are you doing here?"
The other party smiled, unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car and turned around to open the car door for him in a gentlemanly way, "Of course I came here on business."
..............................
When Yu Tai opened the door, he saw Lue Shang standing outside the door accompanied by Chang Jiu.He froze for a moment, then quickly smiled and stepped aside.
"Come in!"
Heng Jiu glanced at Lueshang without a trace, and walked into the hotel room where Yutai was currently staying under his urging.
"Are you feeling better?" Lueshang sat down on the sofa and looked at Yu Tai who was pouring water for the two of them.
"Yeah." Yu Tai nodded, "Last night, Captain Zhang bought me some cough and phlegm medicine at the pharmacy before sending me back, and asked me to drink some water when I come back, so that I won't cough at night."
Lue Shang nodded and said, "He has been a fire chief for so many years, and his experience is still convincing."
Yu Tai smiled, and sat down opposite the two, "You are here because of what happened last night."
"The desolate house in Jiuquan Lane caught fire for no reason. The investigation department attaches great importance to it. Maybe the incident last night is a very important clue, so I want to come to you to learn more about what happened last night."
Lue Shang took out the personal record book uniformly distributed by the investigation department from his pocket to make records, and a silver police badge was brought out along with it, and fell on the sofa between him and Heng Jiu.
Hengjiu's expression changed, and he turned his face away slightly, his plain expression flashed a little unnaturally.However, Lue Shang didn't seem to care much, and casually picked up the police badge and put it back in his trouser pocket.
He turned to Yu Tai and said, "I remember you told me last night that you came to Jiuquan Lane because you made a new discovery?"
"Yes." Yu Tai kept his eyes slightly closed, as if he didn't notice the fluctuation between the two.Hearing Lueshang asking him, he stood up and went to the table by the window to fetch a document and handed it over.
"Look at this."
This is a secret document that the investigation department has never touched. It is all written in English. It is obviously something that Yu Tai brought over.
"This is Adam Kent's work record when he was the curator of the Chinese Ancient Culture Section of the British Museum?" Lueshang asked while watching.
"Yes." Yu Tai nodded, leaned forward in front of him and pointed to a line of text, "Look here, it's very clearly written. During his tenure as the curator of the Huaxia Ancient Culture Museum, seven pieces were introduced here as an exception five times. It is a very representative treasure of ancient Chinese art, including a very precious 'Noble Man's Old Dzi Bead'."
"Is there something wrong with this thing?" Lue Shang was puzzled.
Yu Tai smiled and said: "You may not know much about antiques. This treasure is a unique treasure handed down from generation to generation. Strictly speaking, once it is discovered, it will be strictly collected by our country."
Lue Shang narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a serious expression: "However... this kind of thing was taken to the British Museum by the deceased Adam Kent." "That's right."
"And the place that makes me most suspicious is here..." He pointed down two more lines, "Before Adam Kent left the British Museum, the last collection he acquired was Gu Kaizhi's "Luo Shen Fu Tu" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty .”
"..." Lue Shang blinked his eyes.
Yu Tai burst out laughing, before opening his mouth in time, Heng Jiu suddenly said: "This is the treasure that was looted by burning the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens when the Eight-Nation Allied Forces invaded and occupied the capital."
"The Eight-Nation Allied Forces invaded and occupied the capital?" Lue Shang frowned.
An extremely fast thought flashed through his mind, as if he had thought of something, but he hadn't had time to study it carefully.
Yu Tai looked at him, frowned and said, "That was 1900."
"..." Lue Shang was startled, "I seem to..."
"In 1901, the owner of the desolate house in Jiuquan Lane came to Haicheng from England and built this small building."
Lue Shang rested his chin on one hand, frowned and thought deeply, "Only a year?"
"So, I always feel that this deserted house in Jiuquan Lane is not as simple as what we have seen." He stroked his forehead as he said, as if thinking of his experience last night, "And I also verified my own experience yesterday. This point of view. Before the fire, I saw a lot of early British patterns in the basement of the deserted house. I think it looks like a family’s coat of arms. And some of the characters seem to be Mayan characters.”
Lue Shang was silent, and sat aside for a long time, but frowned slightly.He looked at Yu Tai indiscriminately, and gently tapped the skin on the side of his thigh with his hand hanging by his side.
"I always feel..." Lueshang hesitated for a moment, then continued: "These two cases in Jiuquan Lane seem to have a lot to do with antique treasures."
"How do you say that?" Yu Tai asked back.
"Because they are interested in the ruby necklace of the legend of the deserted house, the students of the Department of Archeology of Haicheng University who explored the deserted house in Jiuquan Lane at night are involved in the appreciation and excavation of antiques. And this Adam Kent, who was once in the British Museum Served as the curator of the Huaxia Museum." He thought for a while, and said, "What...is there any connection?"
Inside the room, there was a sudden silence. The three of them sat there, seeming to be thinking about the hidden inside story, but they still couldn't understand it.
"How about it." Lueshang patted his legs and stood up, "I'll go to Jiuquan Lane to have a look now."
"But it's been burned down there..." Yu Tai stood up and said.
Lue Shang shook his head, "I checked last night, because the source of the fire started from the east, and the basement itself was partially sunken, so it wasn't seriously burned."
"But there was an accident there last night, it might be very dangerous for you to go there now." Yu Tai said anxiously.
Lue Shang was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously glanced at Heng Jiu who followed him up, but always had a cold expression of nothing to do with him.
Yu Tai looked at him, and lowered his eyes slightly, "I mean, it's better to go with many people. Now that the case is complicated, we don't know how many hidden dangers there are, so it's better to be careful."
"It's okay." Lueshang smiled, "Heng Jiu and I will go together. You have just recovered, so you should rest well." Then, he patted Yu Tai's shoulder.
"Yeah." Yu Tai nodded, "You...be careful."
"Okay." Lue Shang nodded, and gave Heng Jiu a hand in the lower back.
Heng Jiu nodded, then nodded politely towards Yutai, and followed Lue Shang to the door.
As soon as the door opened, a man stood there and was about to ring the doorbell. The bag in his other hand was so heavy that he couldn't hold it anymore.
"Fortunately, you opened the door." He smiled, but found that the person standing in front of him was not the owner of the room.
"Officer Cui?" Zhang Wenjian said in surprise, "Are you coming to see Mr. Yu?"
Lue Shang was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Yu Tai, seemed to think of something, and turned away with a smile.
"Captain Zhang is here too? I just finished giving Yu Tai a statement and I'm about to leave."
"Oh." Zhang Wenjian laughed heartily, showing his white teeth, "Mr. Yu felt a little uncomfortable last night. I brought him some snacks from Haicheng and some medicine for relief."
"Okay." Lueshang nodded, "Then let's go first. If we have a chance another day, let's have dinner together and talk." He gave Zhang Wenjian a slow hand to enter the room.
"No problem, I will definitely go when the time comes." Zhang Wenjian readily agreed.
Lue Shang and Heng Jiu left together, Yu Tai stood at the door and looked at their backs, lowered his head and gave a smile with a bit of bitterness and sadness.
"Mr. Yu." Zhang Wenjian, who had put down his things in the room, saw that he was still standing at the door, and called out loudly.
He turned his head, smiled and nodded, "Here we are."
The door was gently closed, and the corridors of the hotel became calm again.
80. Death
By the time we arrived at the desolate house in Jiuquan Lane, night had already fallen.The depths of this originally deserted alley have also become more desolate due to the continuous occurrence of murders and fires, and the surrounding area is still faintly decayed after burning.The once deserted house is now completely dead.
He parked the car in a hidden place by the side of the alley, and walked into the depths of Jiuquan Alley.Passing through the burnt-out scorched-earth garden and across the dilapidated living room, he came to the entrance of the relatively intact basement.
What he held in his hand was a pattern printed with a cumbersome pattern, but if you look carefully, you will find that there are several special characters hidden in the pattern under the entanglement of vines.
He frowned slightly, looked at the paper in his hand again, walked down the stairs to the basement, and came to a clock.On the wall behind it, under the cover of dust and cobwebs, there are a few strange characters, which are exactly the same as the characters on the pattern in his hand.
He glanced at the order of the characters on the pattern, stretched out his hand starting from the first character, and touched the slightly raised character engravings on the wall one by one.When his hand touched the last character, there was a sound of gears turning in the originally quiet basement.An empty and dilapidated wall beside it without any decoration suddenly slid along the wall to the left, revealing a small dark door behind it and a section of wooden stairs extending down.
He was slightly taken aback, as if he hadn't expected such a situation to happen.But soon, he regained his composure, put away the piece of paper in his hand, and pulled out the gun from the gun pouch at his waist.
The secret room in the basement is not deep, and the stairs only have four or five steps, and they step on the ground.This is a very European-style small house with design and decoration. Because it is hidden deep underground, there is no window around it, and the only lamp is broken due to the rust of the years.
Helpless, he had no choice but to turn on the light of his mobile phone and explore the way ahead.Much of the furniture here is relatively well preserved. One of the drawers of a low chest of five drawers carved in mahogany was opened, and the inside seemed to have been rummaged through. Now there is only a satin handkerchief half-hanging on the edge of the drawer. The corner of the handkerchief was embroidered with the pattern on his piece of paper.
"The family emblem of the Boleyn family?" He muttered to himself.
Suddenly, there was a strange movement at the entrance of the secret room behind him.His body tensed suddenly, he put the handkerchief in his trouser pocket with one hand, and pressed down the hammer with the other hand holding the gun.His eyes were alert, and from the shadow under his feet, he could vaguely see a figure approaching gradually.
He turned around suddenly, and the gun was aimed at the man standing at the entrance.
The other party seemed completely unafraid of being pointed at by a pistol, and a disdainful sneer appeared on his lips.
"Who are you?" He frowned and asked in a low voice.
"Officer Yao." The other party opened his mouth with a sneer, his tone light and lazy, "I didn't expect...you could find this far."
Yao Ziqian's heart trembled, "You also came here for the murder case in Jiuquan Lane?"
The other party raised his hand slightly, and made a gesture of waving towards him with his right hand spread out.
"Of course you'll know when you get to Huangquan Road." As soon as the words fell, the man's figure moved, and his whole body was like a bolt of lightning swiftly attacking Ziqian.
Ziqian was caught off guard, and was kicked in the wrist by the opponent, and the gun in his hand fell to the ground.He didn't dare to bend down to pick it up, so he had to dodge up and sideways, so that he could barely avoid a sharp dagger that came after the fatal blow.
The two exchanged positions in the narrow secret room. The man stood in the room and looked at Ziqian fiercely, with an unruly smile on his lips.
"you……"
The opponent's strength was clearly revealed through these two short moves. Ziqian knew that he was not his opponent at all, so he didn't dare to be careless. He clenched his fists carefully and put on a defensive posture. At the same time, he glanced at the man's feet from the corner of his eyes. Looking at the gun next to him, he felt a chill in his heart.
The other party seemed to see through his thoughts, his eyes were still on his, but his foot moved to the side of the pistol, and stepped on it from the side.With a strong kick when the pistol bounced up unsteadily, the thing fell firmly into his hand.
"Officer Yao, don't worry." He looked at Ziqian and said with a smile: "What I dislike the most is unfair things. If you point a pistol at me, I will be afraid. So this thing is still mine. I'll keep it for you first." After speaking, he put his finger on the trigger and tucked the pistol into his back waist.
"What exactly are you trying to do?" Ziqian watched the other party's series of movements vigilantly.
"Hey, hey, hey." The man shook his head and smacked his mouth. "Officer Yao's memory is really bad. Didn't I make it clear just now? I'm going to send you to Huangquan Road."
After finishing speaking, the wicked and arrogant smile on his face was suddenly put away, and a murderous intent appeared in his sharp eyes, he kicked his feet hard, clenched his fists and rushed towards Ziqian's face.Ziqian took a step back and leaned back slightly to avoid the opponent's attack. At the same time, he kicked his left leg towards the opponent's waist.However, the strange thing is that the other party didn't dodge Ziqian's blow at all. He just smiled coldly, and suddenly stretched out his hand. Hearing a muffled sound of 'dong', Ziqian's calf seemed to be kicked on an iron plate. , was blocked back by the opponent's arm.
"Hiss!" Ziqian gasped, stepped back a few steps, and covered his left calf, which ached like a broken bone.
The other party raised an eyebrow at him with a wicked smile, stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, and a bloodthirsty light flashed in his eyes.At the same time, before Ziqian took a breather, he moved his body again and punched Ziqian in the side of the face.His body was extremely flexible, and it was too late for people to even dodge between attacks. Ziqian could only stretch out his hands to block in front of him, but he was punched by this man at the intersection of his arms, and his whole body was attacked by a sneak attack from below. Kicked out of this secret room.
He only felt a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spewed out. The ribs in his chest were cracked and painful, and coupled with the injured calf, he couldn't even stand up for a while.But that man is still calm and elegant, walking slowly
"Oh?" An Yichen smiled and raised his eyebrows slightly, "What about me?"
Ning Zhiyuan, who was buried in his arms and acted like a baby, paused, straightened up and met An Yichen's deep and charming eyes, "What do you think...what are you?"
An Yichen froze for a moment, but the smile on his lips never disappeared.
"You know? I don't like your cunning look." He raised his jaw and stared into the other's clear eyes.
"I'm not cunning." Ning Zhiyuan looked a little embarrassed by him, and slightly looked away.
"Isn't it?" An Yichen lowered his head slightly, pressed his lips against his thin lips, and said word by word: "You are testing me."
"I didn't." Ning Zhiyuan pursed his lips and looked away, seemingly displeased.
He just wanted to hear a word from An Yichen, a word of love that this man seldom said to him.Every time this man says that he is duplicity, but in fact he is not.For himself, he even lost his leg, lost his bright future, and experienced painful torture, but he never complained.Even so, he rarely said that to himself.
A flash of tenderness flashed in An Yichen's eyes, he hugged Ning Zhiyuan's ribs with both hands, and forced the man to change his position in his arms, letting him directly press him under him.
"Ning Zhiyuan." He was as tender as water.
"Why?" He was very wronged.
"I love you."
"..." Ning Zhiyuan met his gaze fiercely, only to find that the man's eyes were so soft and gentle that he had never seen before.
"you……"
An Yichen smiled, "Don't you want to hear it?"
"I don't." Second Master Ning raised his mouth, but looked dismissive.
An Yichen would always be amused by his arrogant appearance, smiled and shook his head, "Why do you look more like a child the longer you grow." He nodded at Ning Zhiyuan's tall nose.
"I'm not a child." Ning Zhiyuan retorted.
While speaking, she wrapped her arms around An Yichen's chest, letting the man stick to her body so that he could hear his rhythmic and powerful heartbeat.
"An Yichen."
"Ok?"
"That's the best." He closed his eyes slightly.
An Yichen turned his body slightly to reduce the weight on his body, stretched his hand behind his neck for him to rest on, and gently stroked his soft hair.
"You're tired, I know that."
Although it was only three days, the pressure that Ning Zhiyuan had to bear was not just heavy work.He knew in his heart that what Zhiyuan was most afraid of was that he would not be able to protect Qiu's property; he was afraid that in the end, Qiu's technology would be completely collapsed;
"An Yichen." Ning Zhiyuan hugged him sideways, and buried his face in his arms.
At this moment, he didn't know what else to say.He couldn't even express the pressure and depression in his heart to this man.
'I just want to love you, why is it so hard?An Yichen, is it really so difficult to love someone?Why is it so easy for others to do it, but only you and I have to go through so many hardships?Just because I am the son of the Ning family?Or... I'm too incompetent, I can only bear the protection of my family and my lover, but I can't protect you and your family? '
"An Yichen." He opened his eyes, his lover's handsome eyebrows filled his clear eyes, "I will not collapse, Mrs. Qiu, absolutely not in my hands." He said firmly.
"I know." An Yichen's eyes softened, and he gently kissed him on the lips, "Don't worry about anything, I will help you."
"Well." He never had to doubt this man's promise.
"Go to sleep." An Yichen patted him lightly, as if coaxing a child to sleep soundly.
"You stay with me." Ning Zhiyuan held An Yichen's collar tightly.
"Okay." An Yichen nodded.
In Qiushi Technology's president's office, silence was restored.The sun at noon in winter casts a brilliant light from the large glass floor-to-ceiling windows in the south.With a hint of coldness, it makes people feel extremely warm and nostalgic in the cold season.
78. I hate you
The fire scene in Jiuquan Lane brought back two large packages of evidence. Ran Qi stood in the center of the open office area of the forensic team with arms folded, looking at the two subordinates in front of him with a condensed expression.
"What did I tell you before?" He asked in a deep voice.
The two forensic workers who were sent to the scene of the fire in Jiuquan Lane looked at each other, and both bowed their heads with guilt, not daring to say a word.
"Scientific evidence collection is the minimum ability of a forensic officer. What is the possible environmental evidence at the scene and what is useless environmental evidence, the forensic staff must have the minimum ability to distinguish." As he said, he Reaching out and pointing to the two large evidence bags next to it, "Don't think that bringing everything back from the scene is serious and responsible for your work. It is also very likely that because of your actions, all colleagues will do more. A lot of useless work, so I lost the opportunity to get in touch with favorable evidence in the first place."
"I'm sorry, Doctor Ran." Resisting the tremendous pressure, it was Xia Yi who had two years of experience in the forensic team who spoke timidly. He resisted the desire to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "But we rushed When we arrived at the deserted house in Jiuquan Lane, ambulances and fire engines had already arrived. In order to rush in to save people, they did not take into account the protection of the crime scene at all, so a lot of environmental evidence was destroyed. There was nothing we could do at that time , can only be carefully screened. But even so, there are still so many evidences that cannot be confirmed to be useful without instrumental testing."
Ran Qi stared at him for a long time with her beautiful eyebrows. The person who was originally as gentle as jade did not expect to feel so oppressive when his face turned cold.All the members of the forensic team didn't even dare to breathe, they were busy with their work.The hidden workbench on the farthest side belongs to Xiao Zhuang. When everyone else was nervous, he quietly recorded the scene of Ran Qi's domineering aura just now with his mobile phone, and then sent it to the address book for personal collection. A number in the column.
However, Ran Qi didn't know about all of this, and he was still thinking about how to conduct the most beneficial skill training for the subordinates in front of him, so as to achieve more efficient and precise work results.
When Ziqian walked in, what he saw was the scene in front of him.Ran Qi was cold and elegant, while the others were cautious, and the atmosphere was very tense.
"Doctor Ran." He hesitated for a moment, but said cautiously, "Let me take a look at the evidence report from the fire scene."
The deep and melodious male voice immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the forensic team.Everyone looked at him eagerly and expectantly. They knew very well in their hearts that the appearance of criminal policeman Yao Ziqian could not calm Dr. Ran's anger at all, but it could completely divert Dr. Ran's anger to the target.
When it comes to being shameless in front of Dr. Ran, Officer Yao is the second, probably no one dares to be the first.
Ran Qi's face froze when he heard his voice, his handsome face, which was originally only showing mild anger, was now covered with a layer of frost.
"Do you think that forensic evidence is a robot that doesn't need to rest? The evidence that was brought back last night is now coming early in the morning to report?"
"..." Ziqian was stunned on the spot, unable to answer a word for a long time.
"Not now, I will notify you when the report comes out." Ran Qi didn't even look at him, left a word coldly, turned and walked into the office.
Ziqian tilted his head in doubt, wondering where he had offended the other party this early in the morning.
"My good brother, you came in a really timely manner." Xia Yi hugged Ziqian, looking at him as if he was looking at the savior.
"What's the situation?" Ziqian, who was inexplicably stunned, expressed his innocence with his eyes.
Everyone shrugged, but they were also confused.But Dr. Ran's temper has been really bad these two days, and it's not unheard of for him to bring back a lot of useless evidence before, so why was he scolded just this time.
"Hey!" All the people sighed bitterly, and hurried back to their respective posts to get busy with the work at hand.
Ziqian stood there and looked at them puzzled, then at Ran Qi who was buried in front of the computer in the glass wall, hesitated and walked into the team leader's office.Behind him, Xiao Zhuang was hiding in the corner, with a cold light in his eyes.
'Knock knock knock' Ziqian politely knocked on the door three times, and when the person inside looked up at him coldly and then looked away, he walked in and sat down at the desk.
Ran Qi was very serious when working, typing quickly on the keyboard with his slender fingers, comparing and verifying the data calculated in the program.Ziqian sat quietly opposite him, not intending to disturb him at all, just focusing on his serious and serious handsome appearance, and couldn't help showing a knowing smile.
Ran Qi, who was concentrating on his work, didn't know what problem he encountered. He subconsciously raised his index finger to his lips, and lightly bit the side of his nail.This is a very habitual action when he encounters confusion. In Ziqian's memory, he has used countless methods to overcome this problem of the other party.And the most useful thing is that as soon as he sees him biting his fingers, he will press the person under his body and kiss him fiercely, and he will not stop until the other person is dying and only weak gasps are left.
Thinking of this, Ziqian's eyes instantly dimmed.The past invaded the memory, and it also brought pain and guilt for the past.Yao Ziqian at that time was still naive to the point of stupidity, unable to bear the crisis of falling in love with his teacher and revealing himself to the world.So, he cowardly chose to retreat and escape, throwing all the blame on the man in front of him.He only dared to hide behind the pillars of the airport alone, watching the man he loved so much flee and go abroad.
In love?
Ziqian smiled bitterly, what right did he have to say that he deeply loved the man in front of him.
He licked his lips, stood up slowly and walked to the bookshelf beside him, and then flipped through a hardcover history book that was scattered on a row of books, which contained detailed records of ancient British history.Ran Qi obviously wanted to learn about the strange patterns of the deserted houses in Jiuquan Lane through this. However, perhaps because of his busy work, he only saw the beginning, and the rest was made with a bookmark that looked like it was made by hand. to mark.
This bookmark is very delicately handmade. It uses a piece of feather as a pendant and is tied to a silver round bell in the ancient way of weaving a wreath by hand.From Ziqian's point of view, it seems that besides the ball used to make the sound, there is something embedded in the inner layer of the bell.
He knew very well what would happen if he opened Ran Qi's things without permission.However, he didn't know what happened at this moment, he just wanted to see what was inside.His heart was pounding, and he took out the bell uncontrollably with both hands, and opened the hidden mechanism on it.
"what are you doing?"
Ran Qi, who was alarmed by the sound of the bell, rushed towards him with a stride, grabbed the things in his hand without any politeness, and hid nervously behind him.
"You..." Ziqian was a little dazed, although it was only for a short moment, it was enough for him to see clearly the little photo hidden inside.
"How can you touch other people's things casually?" Ran Qi, who had always been gentle and refined, was so angry for the first time, and he glared at Ziqian angrily.
Ziqian didn't say a word, just looked at him with his deep and dark eyes without blinking.
"Please go out." Ran Qi turned his back angrily, and pointed in the direction of the door with his backhand.
However, although he tried his best to be patient, his slightly trembling body and the movement of tightly protecting the bell could not be ignored.
Ziqian put away his astonished expression, and walked to the door calmly.
Ran Qi closed his eyes only when he heard the sound of the office door closing, and his body, which had been tense all the time, relaxed as if out of strength.
Suddenly, a scorching breath came from behind, a pair of strong arms hugged him tightly from behind, and the slender waist was held in the arms of the man, and he couldn't hold it tightly.
"Am I an asshole?" Ziqian buried his face in his shoulder and neck, and asked hoarsely.
"What are you doing?" Ran Qi who was hugged was like a frightened bird, struggling in panic to escape being surrounded by this man's breath.
"Ran Qi." How could Ziqian allow him to break free, his arms were as strong as iron tongs, "You hate me, I know, I'm a bastard, I deserve to be hated by you. But I still want to tell you..."
"you shut up."
Before he could say the last few words, Ran Qi shouted and stopped him angrily.
With a low voice, he said coldly: "Let me go."
Ziqian hesitated for a moment, and finally let go.Ran Qi turned around and looked straight at him with a pair of eyes as sharp as ice.
"Yao Ziqian, don't think that I put your picture in the bell because I still have some wishful thinking about you. I was woken up by you as early as that year. I put this picture just to remind myself day and night, Let yourself remember what a stupid mistake you have made." At this point, he paused, and a resentful smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "You are right, I hate you, I hate you every day, every day Hate you. I wish you were dead, you know?"
Ziqian was startled, his sad eyes fixed on the man in front of him, "I never thought that you would..."
"What?" Ran Qi smiled sarcastically, "Hate you so much?" He narrowed his eyes and looked at Ziqian, "Yao Ziqian, you never know what you gave up on." After finishing speaking, He turned his back, never wanting to look at the man again.
"Now, please leave my office." His voice regained his composure, as calm as stagnant water.
Ziqian took a deep breath, smiled helplessly, and bent down to pick up the hardcover book that fell from the ground just now due to snatching.
"I'm sorry." He apologized, bowed his head and closed the book, intending to put it back.
Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a picture on the book, and the strange lines on it were so familiar.He looked at the picture carefully, and several things he had seen before kept appearing in his mind.
Suddenly, his eyes froze, and a guess flashed in his mind.
Glancing at Ran Qi who had always turned his back to him, he closed his eyes and put the book back, and left the office quietly.
Hearing the sound of footsteps gradually moving away and disappearing, Ran Qi slowly turned around.The pupils hidden behind the lenses are actually blocked by the light reflected from the sun, making it impossible to see through.
79. Strange symbols
At ten o'clock in the morning, the winter sun in Haicheng is not very strong. In a hidden safe passage deep in the skyscraper lobby, there is a small space on the first floor of the walking stairs. Only a small window at the top can reveal the faint light. the sun shines down.
Under the window, there is a plain figure, handsome and upright, described as restrained and gentle.
He stood quietly, looking up at the daylight outside the window, his soft hair hanging down his cheeks, covering his delicately contoured ears.From time to time, he would lightly tap the outside of his thigh with the hand hanging by his side, his slender fingers would rise and fall rhythmically, as if playing a beautiful melody.
After a while, the sunlight quietly receded from his handsome face.He lowered his head, retracted his hands on the sides of his legs and put them in his trouser pockets, turned around, walked out of the safe passage, and walked through the hall towards the outside of the building.
It was still at the flower bed on the side of the road at the turn. Before he had time to cross the road, an unremarkable gray car stopped in front of him.The car door was still opened from the inside, and looking down from where he was standing, he could only see the thin lips of the man in the driver's seat and the slender hands on the steering wheel.
"Get in the car." A familiar male voice came from inside.
He sighed slightly, bent over and sat in.
He put on his seat belt calmly, and a food bag was handed over to him immediately.
"What is it?" He didn't take it, but asked back.
"You'll know if you open it and have a look." The other party put the thing on his lap and stepped on the clutch to drive the car.
He sighed helplessly, and opened the white grocery bag.Inside is an exquisitely crafted lunch box, and beside it stands a cup of the same color and pattern.
Open it, and the steaming steamed buns and a cup of soy milk radiate an enticing aroma.
His eyes dimmed, this... used to be his favorite breakfast.Sometimes in the morning when it was too late to make breakfast for everyone, he would go to the breakfast shop near the subway station in the alley with the man carrying the light blue schoolbag to buy these two things.
"I'm not hungry." He lowered his eyes and put the things aside.
The man who was concentrating on driving looked back at him and said, "The one at the alley is your favorite food on weekdays."
He pursed his lips, seemingly displeased, "I said I'm not hungry."
Just as he was speaking, a protest came from his flat and lean abdomen.I have been busy in the morning until now, and my stomach that is still enjoying delicious food feels that I really need my favorite buns and soy milk.
The man driving the car burst out laughing with a 'puchi'. It was the first time that a calm and elegant man was so humiliated, and it was a pleasing thing.
He turned his head in embarrassment, and there was a strange red color in his earlobes.
The other party shook his head with a smile, and handed him the food again, "Eat quickly, a dignified doctor of psychology, do you want me to coax you like I did to Xiyu?"
He bit his lower lip and gave him a blank look in embarrassment.
"Let's eat." The other party didn't say any more, and focused on the road ahead.
He lowered his head and stared at the things on his lap for a long time, then with a serious face, he took out the steaming breakfast and ate it.
He has always been a gentle and refined person, even when eating.Other men gobbled it up when they were hungry, but he still managed to eat gracefully and finish his breakfast in a leisurely manner.After a meal, the other party's destination has also arrived.
He drove out the car window, "What are you doing here?"
The other party smiled, unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car and turned around to open the car door for him in a gentlemanly way, "Of course I came here on business."
..............................
When Yu Tai opened the door, he saw Lue Shang standing outside the door accompanied by Chang Jiu.He froze for a moment, then quickly smiled and stepped aside.
"Come in!"
Heng Jiu glanced at Lueshang without a trace, and walked into the hotel room where Yutai was currently staying under his urging.
"Are you feeling better?" Lueshang sat down on the sofa and looked at Yu Tai who was pouring water for the two of them.
"Yeah." Yu Tai nodded, "Last night, Captain Zhang bought me some cough and phlegm medicine at the pharmacy before sending me back, and asked me to drink some water when I come back, so that I won't cough at night."
Lue Shang nodded and said, "He has been a fire chief for so many years, and his experience is still convincing."
Yu Tai smiled, and sat down opposite the two, "You are here because of what happened last night."
"The desolate house in Jiuquan Lane caught fire for no reason. The investigation department attaches great importance to it. Maybe the incident last night is a very important clue, so I want to come to you to learn more about what happened last night."
Lue Shang took out the personal record book uniformly distributed by the investigation department from his pocket to make records, and a silver police badge was brought out along with it, and fell on the sofa between him and Heng Jiu.
Hengjiu's expression changed, and he turned his face away slightly, his plain expression flashed a little unnaturally.However, Lue Shang didn't seem to care much, and casually picked up the police badge and put it back in his trouser pocket.
He turned to Yu Tai and said, "I remember you told me last night that you came to Jiuquan Lane because you made a new discovery?"
"Yes." Yu Tai kept his eyes slightly closed, as if he didn't notice the fluctuation between the two.Hearing Lueshang asking him, he stood up and went to the table by the window to fetch a document and handed it over.
"Look at this."
This is a secret document that the investigation department has never touched. It is all written in English. It is obviously something that Yu Tai brought over.
"This is Adam Kent's work record when he was the curator of the Chinese Ancient Culture Section of the British Museum?" Lueshang asked while watching.
"Yes." Yu Tai nodded, leaned forward in front of him and pointed to a line of text, "Look here, it's very clearly written. During his tenure as the curator of the Huaxia Ancient Culture Museum, seven pieces were introduced here as an exception five times. It is a very representative treasure of ancient Chinese art, including a very precious 'Noble Man's Old Dzi Bead'."
"Is there something wrong with this thing?" Lue Shang was puzzled.
Yu Tai smiled and said: "You may not know much about antiques. This treasure is a unique treasure handed down from generation to generation. Strictly speaking, once it is discovered, it will be strictly collected by our country."
Lue Shang narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a serious expression: "However... this kind of thing was taken to the British Museum by the deceased Adam Kent." "That's right."
"And the place that makes me most suspicious is here..." He pointed down two more lines, "Before Adam Kent left the British Museum, the last collection he acquired was Gu Kaizhi's "Luo Shen Fu Tu" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty .”
"..." Lue Shang blinked his eyes.
Yu Tai burst out laughing, before opening his mouth in time, Heng Jiu suddenly said: "This is the treasure that was looted by burning the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens when the Eight-Nation Allied Forces invaded and occupied the capital."
"The Eight-Nation Allied Forces invaded and occupied the capital?" Lue Shang frowned.
An extremely fast thought flashed through his mind, as if he had thought of something, but he hadn't had time to study it carefully.
Yu Tai looked at him, frowned and said, "That was 1900."
"..." Lue Shang was startled, "I seem to..."
"In 1901, the owner of the desolate house in Jiuquan Lane came to Haicheng from England and built this small building."
Lue Shang rested his chin on one hand, frowned and thought deeply, "Only a year?"
"So, I always feel that this deserted house in Jiuquan Lane is not as simple as what we have seen." He stroked his forehead as he said, as if thinking of his experience last night, "And I also verified my own experience yesterday. This point of view. Before the fire, I saw a lot of early British patterns in the basement of the deserted house. I think it looks like a family’s coat of arms. And some of the characters seem to be Mayan characters.”
Lue Shang was silent, and sat aside for a long time, but frowned slightly.He looked at Yu Tai indiscriminately, and gently tapped the skin on the side of his thigh with his hand hanging by his side.
"I always feel..." Lueshang hesitated for a moment, then continued: "These two cases in Jiuquan Lane seem to have a lot to do with antique treasures."
"How do you say that?" Yu Tai asked back.
"Because they are interested in the ruby necklace of the legend of the deserted house, the students of the Department of Archeology of Haicheng University who explored the deserted house in Jiuquan Lane at night are involved in the appreciation and excavation of antiques. And this Adam Kent, who was once in the British Museum Served as the curator of the Huaxia Museum." He thought for a while, and said, "What...is there any connection?"
Inside the room, there was a sudden silence. The three of them sat there, seeming to be thinking about the hidden inside story, but they still couldn't understand it.
"How about it." Lueshang patted his legs and stood up, "I'll go to Jiuquan Lane to have a look now."
"But it's been burned down there..." Yu Tai stood up and said.
Lue Shang shook his head, "I checked last night, because the source of the fire started from the east, and the basement itself was partially sunken, so it wasn't seriously burned."
"But there was an accident there last night, it might be very dangerous for you to go there now." Yu Tai said anxiously.
Lue Shang was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously glanced at Heng Jiu who followed him up, but always had a cold expression of nothing to do with him.
Yu Tai looked at him, and lowered his eyes slightly, "I mean, it's better to go with many people. Now that the case is complicated, we don't know how many hidden dangers there are, so it's better to be careful."
"It's okay." Lueshang smiled, "Heng Jiu and I will go together. You have just recovered, so you should rest well." Then, he patted Yu Tai's shoulder.
"Yeah." Yu Tai nodded, "You...be careful."
"Okay." Lue Shang nodded, and gave Heng Jiu a hand in the lower back.
Heng Jiu nodded, then nodded politely towards Yutai, and followed Lue Shang to the door.
As soon as the door opened, a man stood there and was about to ring the doorbell. The bag in his other hand was so heavy that he couldn't hold it anymore.
"Fortunately, you opened the door." He smiled, but found that the person standing in front of him was not the owner of the room.
"Officer Cui?" Zhang Wenjian said in surprise, "Are you coming to see Mr. Yu?"
Lue Shang was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Yu Tai, seemed to think of something, and turned away with a smile.
"Captain Zhang is here too? I just finished giving Yu Tai a statement and I'm about to leave."
"Oh." Zhang Wenjian laughed heartily, showing his white teeth, "Mr. Yu felt a little uncomfortable last night. I brought him some snacks from Haicheng and some medicine for relief."
"Okay." Lueshang nodded, "Then let's go first. If we have a chance another day, let's have dinner together and talk." He gave Zhang Wenjian a slow hand to enter the room.
"No problem, I will definitely go when the time comes." Zhang Wenjian readily agreed.
Lue Shang and Heng Jiu left together, Yu Tai stood at the door and looked at their backs, lowered his head and gave a smile with a bit of bitterness and sadness.
"Mr. Yu." Zhang Wenjian, who had put down his things in the room, saw that he was still standing at the door, and called out loudly.
He turned his head, smiled and nodded, "Here we are."
The door was gently closed, and the corridors of the hotel became calm again.
80. Death
By the time we arrived at the desolate house in Jiuquan Lane, night had already fallen.The depths of this originally deserted alley have also become more desolate due to the continuous occurrence of murders and fires, and the surrounding area is still faintly decayed after burning.The once deserted house is now completely dead.
He parked the car in a hidden place by the side of the alley, and walked into the depths of Jiuquan Alley.Passing through the burnt-out scorched-earth garden and across the dilapidated living room, he came to the entrance of the relatively intact basement.
What he held in his hand was a pattern printed with a cumbersome pattern, but if you look carefully, you will find that there are several special characters hidden in the pattern under the entanglement of vines.
He frowned slightly, looked at the paper in his hand again, walked down the stairs to the basement, and came to a clock.On the wall behind it, under the cover of dust and cobwebs, there are a few strange characters, which are exactly the same as the characters on the pattern in his hand.
He glanced at the order of the characters on the pattern, stretched out his hand starting from the first character, and touched the slightly raised character engravings on the wall one by one.When his hand touched the last character, there was a sound of gears turning in the originally quiet basement.An empty and dilapidated wall beside it without any decoration suddenly slid along the wall to the left, revealing a small dark door behind it and a section of wooden stairs extending down.
He was slightly taken aback, as if he hadn't expected such a situation to happen.But soon, he regained his composure, put away the piece of paper in his hand, and pulled out the gun from the gun pouch at his waist.
The secret room in the basement is not deep, and the stairs only have four or five steps, and they step on the ground.This is a very European-style small house with design and decoration. Because it is hidden deep underground, there is no window around it, and the only lamp is broken due to the rust of the years.
Helpless, he had no choice but to turn on the light of his mobile phone and explore the way ahead.Much of the furniture here is relatively well preserved. One of the drawers of a low chest of five drawers carved in mahogany was opened, and the inside seemed to have been rummaged through. Now there is only a satin handkerchief half-hanging on the edge of the drawer. The corner of the handkerchief was embroidered with the pattern on his piece of paper.
"The family emblem of the Boleyn family?" He muttered to himself.
Suddenly, there was a strange movement at the entrance of the secret room behind him.His body tensed suddenly, he put the handkerchief in his trouser pocket with one hand, and pressed down the hammer with the other hand holding the gun.His eyes were alert, and from the shadow under his feet, he could vaguely see a figure approaching gradually.
He turned around suddenly, and the gun was aimed at the man standing at the entrance.
The other party seemed completely unafraid of being pointed at by a pistol, and a disdainful sneer appeared on his lips.
"Who are you?" He frowned and asked in a low voice.
"Officer Yao." The other party opened his mouth with a sneer, his tone light and lazy, "I didn't expect...you could find this far."
Yao Ziqian's heart trembled, "You also came here for the murder case in Jiuquan Lane?"
The other party raised his hand slightly, and made a gesture of waving towards him with his right hand spread out.
"Of course you'll know when you get to Huangquan Road." As soon as the words fell, the man's figure moved, and his whole body was like a bolt of lightning swiftly attacking Ziqian.
Ziqian was caught off guard, and was kicked in the wrist by the opponent, and the gun in his hand fell to the ground.He didn't dare to bend down to pick it up, so he had to dodge up and sideways, so that he could barely avoid a sharp dagger that came after the fatal blow.
The two exchanged positions in the narrow secret room. The man stood in the room and looked at Ziqian fiercely, with an unruly smile on his lips.
"you……"
The opponent's strength was clearly revealed through these two short moves. Ziqian knew that he was not his opponent at all, so he didn't dare to be careless. He clenched his fists carefully and put on a defensive posture. At the same time, he glanced at the man's feet from the corner of his eyes. Looking at the gun next to him, he felt a chill in his heart.
The other party seemed to see through his thoughts, his eyes were still on his, but his foot moved to the side of the pistol, and stepped on it from the side.With a strong kick when the pistol bounced up unsteadily, the thing fell firmly into his hand.
"Officer Yao, don't worry." He looked at Ziqian and said with a smile: "What I dislike the most is unfair things. If you point a pistol at me, I will be afraid. So this thing is still mine. I'll keep it for you first." After speaking, he put his finger on the trigger and tucked the pistol into his back waist.
"What exactly are you trying to do?" Ziqian watched the other party's series of movements vigilantly.
"Hey, hey, hey." The man shook his head and smacked his mouth. "Officer Yao's memory is really bad. Didn't I make it clear just now? I'm going to send you to Huangquan Road."
After finishing speaking, the wicked and arrogant smile on his face was suddenly put away, and a murderous intent appeared in his sharp eyes, he kicked his feet hard, clenched his fists and rushed towards Ziqian's face.Ziqian took a step back and leaned back slightly to avoid the opponent's attack. At the same time, he kicked his left leg towards the opponent's waist.However, the strange thing is that the other party didn't dodge Ziqian's blow at all. He just smiled coldly, and suddenly stretched out his hand. Hearing a muffled sound of 'dong', Ziqian's calf seemed to be kicked on an iron plate. , was blocked back by the opponent's arm.
"Hiss!" Ziqian gasped, stepped back a few steps, and covered his left calf, which ached like a broken bone.
The other party raised an eyebrow at him with a wicked smile, stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, and a bloodthirsty light flashed in his eyes.At the same time, before Ziqian took a breather, he moved his body again and punched Ziqian in the side of the face.His body was extremely flexible, and it was too late for people to even dodge between attacks.
