At night, the vision on the highway is extremely monotonous, and it is easy to get sleepy when driving long distances.Luo Jianan drove 24 kilometers in a row, smoked more than half a pack of cigarettes, couldn't bear it anymore, turned into the rest area, and changed hands even after refueling.After using the toilet, he went into a [-]-hour supermarket to carry a box of mineral water.Lu Yuanqiao next to him was squatting in front of the water dispenser to soak the bucket of instant noodles. Just as he was about to ask him if he wanted to eat, Luo Jianan casually grabbed two bags of bread from the shelf and threw them on the cashier counter.

After paying the bill, go to the dining area to eat. Except for them, there are two people at the other end of the long dining table.A big truck driver, his truck was parked next to Luo Jianan's car when he was just refueling.The other one seemed to be following the car, sitting face to face with the big truck driver and eating a set meal, his voice fluctuated high and low, cursing the checkpoint staff full of resentment.

Heavy trucks are overloaded without exception, otherwise tolls, gas, tires and machinery will be worn out, and running trips will not only make no money, but also have to pay for it.Luo Jianan had heard about this.Fines for overloading, or severe punishments, but the rule is that the dead are alive, and whoever enforces it has the right to speak.Most of the staff at the checkpoints take advantage of this. It is said that on some major routes with heavy traffic, a small administrator can earn millions of dollars a year.As a result, many heavy-duty truck drivers who contract their own vehicles have to avoid smooth highways and detour through provincial and county roads. Even risking driving on steep winding roads in the middle of the night is better than being fined or extorted for "road money."

Listening to the complaints from the side, Luo Jianan couldn't help thinking about Lin Dong.At that time, everyone thought that the car of Lin Dong's team was deliberately knocked off the cliff by a heavy truck driver, and then the driver was shot and killed by poisonous bees to prevent future troubles.Later, in response to the confession of the poisonous bee, the relevant departments re-investigated the accident and proved that it was not a deliberate murder of a police officer.

Heavy-duty truck drivers bypass provincial and county roads to save costs, but the result of the detour is that they may not be able to keep up with the delivery time. Their only option is to drive around the clock without even sleeping.Based on this premise, some people use drugs to boost their energy so that they can drive for dozens of hours without getting sleepy.Originally, the poisonous bee was going to kill the witnesses in the police car, but the driver of the heavy truck rammed the gun purely by himself.Since he lived in Myanmar in the Golden Triangle area since he was a child, poisonous bees can be said to be a drug addict. At that time, the heavy truck driver drove the car on a rampage. He observed through a sniper mirror that he had hallucinations after taking drugs.If it is not stopped, the police car across the bend on the mountain road will inevitably be knocked off the cliff.

Although Lin Dong wasn't in the car at the time, he didn't know it. His only thought was that he couldn't just watch his brother get hit and killed, so he decisively shot and killed the heavy truck driver from a distance.However, no matter how accurate his calculations were, he missed the most fatal factor—heavy trucks were seriously overloaded. Even if the driver did not continue to step on the accelerator after death, the effective braking distance would far exceed the expected length.

This led to a tragedy, apparently caused by drugs, but in the final analysis it was the result of a series of external factors.At that time, Luo Jianan felt powerless after listening to Tang Zhexue's account of the ins and outs of the incident.It was probably the butterfly effect, he thought.Heavy-duty truck drivers will not be fined if they are not overloaded, so they don't need to choose to take a detour, and they may not be exposed to drugs.To put it bluntly, it was all about money, and the finger that the poisonous bee pulled the trigger was actually the force of countless people chasing interests.

The phone rang, and Luo Jianan suddenly came back to his senses. He was surprised to see that it was Qi Ming who called—it was two o'clock in the morning, was this another nightmare?

Not surprisingly, Qi Ming's voice sounded like he had just woken up: "Where have you been?"

"Ah, we're going out of the province soon, refuel in the rest area and have something to eat."

"Take time to sleep."

"Yes, let Yuan Qiao open it later." Luo Jianan pinched the cigarette in his mouth, but fortunately he didn't light it. If Qi Ming heard him smoking, he would have to groan, "Why don't you sleep?"

Unusual, Qi Ming coquettishly said: "Dreaming, woke up, and want to hear your voice."

Hearing this movement, a yellow sandstorm rose in Luo Jianan's mind, which meant that if the person was not in front of him, he would have to rush forward.From the corner of the eye, he glanced at Lu Yuanqiao, who was bald and bald with his head bowed, but actually listened to his phone with his ears open. He got up and walked outside, and said in a low voice to the person on the phone: "I'll be back tomorrow, you sleep well, I Try to go home early after the trial and not work overtime."

"...I'm not urging you to come back, I'm just..." The other side seemed to be stretched, and Luo Jianan could imagine the other party's actions when he heard the sound, because Qi Ming's tone was more lazy than before: "Well... It’s nothing, just drive hard, pay attention to safety, and don’t drive tired.”

It's not cute.Luo Jianan said in shock: "Don't tell me you want to listen to me, the night is long, and you can fall asleep with Brother Nan's magnetic voice."

Qi Ming was slightly amused by him: "Listen to a few words, do you really think you are a radio host?"

"Look, look, let's just say that you don't understand style. If you want to act like a baby, then do it honestly. Why do you have to run on people?"

"Whoever runs on you, don't say that you have a glass heart."

"That's what you said, I want a glass heart, and I've been broken by you a long time ago." Pretending to sigh helplessly, Luo Jianan said with emotion: "Ah, the daughter-in-law I married has to kneel—oh, wait a minute, I Cut the phone and come in, I will call you back later."

"No need, I'm busy with you."

Cutting off the communication, Qi Ming put down his phone and lay on his back on the bed, raised his hands to cover his eyes, trying to calm down his complicated thoughts as much as possible.Once the surroundings quieted down, there was another noise in my ears.In the church, Lin Yang said that he wanted him, which really surprised him, and he couldn't help blurting out "What are you thinking?".In fact, it was a misunderstanding. Lin Yang didn't want him, but wanted him to cooperate with him.

According to Lin Yang's analysis, Qi Ming entered the witness protection program immediately after he was rescued. No one except the executive officer Phil knew his whereabouts, including other agents in the FBI who followed up the case, which is equivalent to Qi Ming. existence was erased.If news about Qi Ming is released on the dark web now, it is likely to attract the attention of the killer who failed to put him to death.It's like a cooked duck flying, which will definitely make the diners never forget it.

Lin Yang said he had tracked a target for eight years.By the time he killed the one-time cult leader himself, the buyer was dead.However, the principle he upholds is that once he has made up his mind to end a certain goal, he must pursue it forever.It's not about compensation, it's about not letting your career be stained unless the target is killed by someone else first.He intended to use Qi Ming as a bait to catch that person, as a gamble that the guy who failed to kill Qi Ming with his own hands also had such a stubborn pursuit.

It has to be said that this is very dangerous, and Qi Ming knows it well.Once his whereabouts are purposely exposed, it is like setting up a shining target, just waiting for the snipers lurking in the dark to aim and shoot.But this method is indeed the most feasible and efficient option compared to aimlessly looking for targets in the deep sea of ​​​​the dark web.

If he still lived alone like before, he would take risks. If he didn't get rid of that person, there would be no peace in his life.However, now that Luo Jianan is by his side, if that guy gets mad, it's hard to say whether Chi Yu will be hurt.And I can't tell Luo Jianan, after all, it was Lin Yang's idea. If Luo Jianan knew that someone sent his wife to the gun, and that this person was the guy who fucking almost killed him, one can imagine what kind of virtue it would cause.Besides, Luo Jianan is a policeman, and it is impossible for him to cooperate with a criminal with many previous convictions, no matter from the perspective of professional ethics or self-esteem, he will never force the other party to break the bottom line.

Moreover, Lin Yang said it was a secret between them, and even Lin Dong didn't know about coming to him by himself.From the other party's words, Qi Ming could hear the willingness to atone, even though he didn't even say "I'm sorry".The death of Qi Dongxiang and his wife was caused by Lin Yang. He pulled the trigger and must bear the responsibility for what he did.But no, except for the heart tracker implanted by Interpol, Lin Yang doesn't even have to sit in jail for a day.This is not fair, although there is no fairness in the world, but he has his own beliefs and wants to atone for the past.

"If you choose to trust me, I will do my best to ensure your safety, oh, and that bluffing Officer Luo, of course he may not need it." Lin Yang assured him, and at the same time informed him of his plan : "There are two plans. One, bring him here. He is not familiar with the place. It is difficult for him to pose a threat to you in a short period of time. This will give me more time to follow up. In a familiar environment, he must act quickly, but in that case I may not be able to trace it in time, and the risk you face is even greater."

Qi Ming couldn't do it, and he couldn't talk to Luo Jianan about leaving everything in front of him and returning to the United States.He can't lie to Luo Jianan, it's useless, the other party can see through it at a glance.In situations where he didn't mean what he meant, Luo Jianan just pretended to be stupid most of the time and didn't go into the details, in order to leave a step down for each other, he was very clear about this.Either don't say this kind of thing, and tell the truth if you say it, otherwise it will definitely cause an irreparable crisis of trust.

So what he is struggling with now is not whether to agree to Lin Yang, but how to complete the plan without being noticed by others—especially Luo Jianan.Since Lin Yang dared to bet, it meant that he had a chance of winning.If you want to come to a former professional killer who has been tracked by Interpol for 20 years and would never have been caught if he hadn't cared about his family and his heart was soft, his professionalism and decision-making must be trustworthy.

In fact, the police also have the ability to implement Lin Yang's plan. In short, it is fishing law enforcement.but

First of all, it is impossible for Luo Jianan to put him in a dangerous situation. Secondly, the police's resource allocation is deeply restricted by the policy framework. The execution ability is definitely not as strong as that of "senior industry insiders" like Lin Yang. Moreover, for the Chinese police, there is no obligation at all. Use manpower and material resources to arrest a criminal who has not committed crimes in the mainland.It is more realistic to solve it in private. Anyway, there is an extradition treaty. As long as the person can be caught and the testimony can be handed over to the police-this is what Lin Yang is good at-the follow-up work can be carried out step by step.

Just thinking that the whole thing had to be done without telling Luo Jianan, Qi Ming felt inexplicably guilty of cheating.
