Reading Agreement

The two returned to the car, Shi Zhen looked at his watch, it was only twelve o'clock, he planned to take Gao Yang to have lunch first.

"Go eat first." Shi Zhen said.

"Didn't you make an appointment to talk about something?" Gao Yang asked.

Shi Zhen started the car and said, "I have made an appointment just now, two o'clock in the afternoon. What do you want for lunch?"

"Yeah." Gao Yang replied perfunctorily. Ever since he got into the car, he has been checking his phone, flipping through webpages, website after website, and he didn't even hear Shi Zhen asking him what to eat. .

Shi Zhen drove for a while, and when the car stopped at the intersection and waited for the red light, he suddenly reached out, took Gao Yang's mobile phone, glanced at it, frowned and said, "You're obsessed, and you still go to check the information of "Chess on Double Screen"? "

"Curiosity." Gao Yang smiled awkwardly, wanting to return his phone, but didn't dare to take it forcefully.He wanted to tell Shi Zhen about Manager Fang's commission, but he couldn't explain why he was chosen, a stranger whose skills were almost useless, when a bunch of elites who masturbated were not used?What's more, it is still a major matter related to his son's life.

"Curiosity?" Shi Zhen asked with raised eyebrows.

"Curiosity..." Gao Yang couldn't answer, and his thoughts were still entangled. After thinking for a long time, he felt that it was better to hide it first. When the agreement was completed and he was free, he would find another excuse about Liuli Nail , Shi Zhen should not pursue the specific content of the agreement.

"It's okay to be curious. When you go back to yourself, you can study it slowly." Shi Zhen was dissatisfied, rolled his eyes, and buckled the phone screen face down on the platform: "Study enough."

"..." Gao Yang glanced at the mobile phone that was close at hand. After all, he didn't dare to disobey Shi Zhen, so he sat obediently, tilted his head in a daze, and played with the corner of his clothes.

Shi Zhen started the car and continued to go to the eating place. He didn't say much, and he didn't intend to chat. The air gradually cooled down.

After playing with the corners of the clothes for a while, he felt even more bored. Gao Yang glanced at Shi Zhen secretly, and silently praised how beautiful the side face is, the high and low corners are perfect, just right and good-looking, and he can't take his eyes off after watching too much.

Tilting his head to look at Shi Zhen's side face for a while, Gao Yang rubbed his eyes, turned back to look out the window, breathed out weakly, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you talk?" He felt a little silent today, but he didn't remember when they were in the car Li is also often silent.

"?" Shi Zhen glanced at his side and said, "What do you want to say?"

Gao Yang shook his head thoughtlessly: "I don't know."

"You don't know what to say, what do you want me to say?" Shi Zhen grumbled, and then ordered: "So if you want to talk, find twenty topics to talk about."

"Ah?" Gao Yang exclaimed strangely: "I can't find a single topic, but you still want me to find twenty. Isn't this difficult for a strong man!"

"I've never been strong, people, places, or difficulties." Shi Zhen stopped and waited for the red light, and said every word, as if he meant something.

Gao Yang immediately felt that the smell was wrong, as if he was alluding to yesterday, he felt a little guilty, and asked shamelessly: "Are you going to my house tonight?"

Shi Zhen refused without shame: "I won't go. The bed is too small, and it 'squeezed' you on the floor."

"I was wrong." Gao Yang admitted his cowardice, leaned sideways on the back of the chair, and said with red ears: "Why don't you...you try...the bed again?"

"Gao Yang, why didn't I realize that you wanted it so much before?" Shi Zhen ninja smiled at Gao Yang, reached out and pulled his red ear tip: "I betrayed you here, don't force it."

"I didn't force it." Gao Yang turned around, turned his back to Shi Zhen, and asked in a low voice, "Are you coming or not?"

"Why are you here?" Shi Zhen started the car and said deliberately.

"Why did you say you came here... just come here!" Gao Yang scratched his hair and lost his temper.

"Okay, I see, you invited me so kindly." Shi Zhen held back his smile, stretched out his hand to stroke Gao Yang's back, patted Gao Yang twice and said, "I reluctantly went to the bed appointment, but I didn't go to my house tonight. Change clothes."

Gao Yang was silent for two seconds, then said in a low voice, "That's fine."

"Cut." Shi Zhen smiled contemptuously.

Soon, the car drove into a large shopping mall, and the two found a restaurant for lunch.At about 01:30, the two left the mall and went directly to a quaint tea room nearby.

There is a one-way street near the shopping mall, and there are few vehicles on weekdays, so it is very quiet.It is such a street that grows in quietness. There are row upon row of one-story shops on both sides of the road. Each one has bright windows, unique and individual decoration, like a blind box carefully placed on the side of the road. to explore.

The location of the tea room is in the middle of the street, with an antique facade, with the simplicity of time and space.There is a plaque on the head, with "Yiye" written in calligraphy, and the word "tea room" is decorated with small chapters. It is simple and straightforward, and you can know its business content at a glance.

Shi Zhen took Gao Yang in, and after stepping inside, he was surrounded by a faint scent of sandalwood, which instantly isolated the impetuous outside, and he also calmed down.

The interior decoration is based on wood. The tables and chairs with tree roots, wood-grained shelves, and bamboo screens all reveal a simple and peaceful atmosphere.

"A private room at three o'clock. The surname is Shi." Shi Zhen walked to the service desk and reported the time.

"Okay, Mr. Shi, please." The waiter held the reservation book and welcomed them into a box at the end of the corridor with a smile.

The box is not big, and it also exudes a faint sandalwood fragrance.There is only a long table and six chairs in the room, nothing else.A narrow silk tablecloth is spread in the middle of the table, and all kinds of food are lined up, and only a little bit is placed on each plate, as if to warn people not to be greedy.

After taking off their coats, the two sat down casually. The waiter immediately served a pot of hot tea, and then walked out respectfully.

Why do you love to run into the tea room, does it look mysterious and noble?Gao Yang took a sip of the tea, it was Pu'er, bitter and sweet, he liked it very much.

"I don't know if this person can give me information about the twelve." Shi Zhen held his head and said to himself: "Get the twelve, the colorful mountain, and then give it to Fang Xinmei, and get a ticket to the ultimate feast."

"Hmm." Fang Xinmei's three words shocked Gao Yang, he didn't pay attention to the water temperature, his mouth was scalded, and his face was distressed.

"Second goods." Shi Zhen taunted, and then asked concerned: "Is there any blisters?"

Gao Yang shook his head, feeling very disturbed. He kept asking himself if he wanted to confess, but he was also worried about exposing his relationship with Manager Fang.

"It's all burnt, can we still kiss at night?" Shi Zhen glanced at it, stretched out his hand to hook Gao Yang's chin, jokingly.

"You have to kiss, hug, and hold you high." Gao Yang's expression of arrogance and arrogance was frank, and it was too uncomfortable to hold back in his heart: "I..."

"Someone seems to be here." Shi Zhen said suddenly, looking at the door.

The door lock twisted and opened with a creak, and the waiter ushered in a young woman with a little boy beside her.

"Here we come." Shi Zhen, as usual, invited the woman to sit down, and then introduced: "Ms. Qian, the data collector, from the Data Analysis Department of the Material Control Center. He is Gao Yang, my friend, who is investigating the case together."

"Oh." The woman nodded professionally, with a unique temperament, but she didn't have a smile on her face, and she sat straight across from Shi Zhen.She formulaically opened the briefcase and took out the laptop and USB drive from it.

"Does Twelve have any clues?" Shi Zhen glanced at the USB flash drive, thinking that since he could take out the USB flash drive, he must have found something.

"About the twelve sticks... Xiaofeng, don't bother brother, sit down." Ms. Qian glanced at the other side of the table, with a slightly embarrassed expression on her face. If she didn't pay attention, the child had already run to Gao Yang's side to play with him.

"It's okay." Gao Yang smiled, he was already playing with Xiaofeng on a folding plane, and he even gave Xiaofeng the snacks in the middle of the table.

"Sorry." Ms. Qian apologized a little, glanced at Shi Zhen, and stopped talking.

Shi Zhen was very calm, and said with a smile: "My friend is from the second class of kindergarten, let them play, it doesn't matter."

"Okay." Ms. Qian nodded, showing a rare smile.But the smile only lasted for a second, and she quickly entered the working state, skillfully called up the PDF file from the computer, turned the computer screen to Shi Zhen, and said directly: "I checked, and there is some connection with the number twelve." There are many kinds of things, such as constellations, zodiac signs, celestial stems and earthly branches, months, hours, meridians, movie titles, TV series titles, certain events in the [-]th session, etc. There are not many types, but there may not be many special ones."

After listening silently, Shi Zhen looked at the computer screen and said lightly: "Overall, 'Twelve' can indeed generate many things, but if it is only limited to these, you probably wouldn't come to see me today."

Ms. Qian raised the corner of her mouth, not denying it, and said formulaically: "Basic rhetoric and procedures must not be missing, this is the company's prescribed rhetoric."

"Understood." Shi Zhen drank tea, taking it easy.

Ms. Qian continued: "Actually, with so much content, I couldn't find a clue at first."

"What about the colorful mountain?" Shi Zhen asked.

"The Twelve Capitals have never been cracked. Wouldn't it be even more difficult to crack it with the addition of the Colorful Ridge? Of course, according to your request, I also checked the Colorful Ridge, and there are no effective clues." Ms. Qian explained: "So everything is still Start with 'twelve'."

"How?" Shi Zhen was waiting for an answer.

Ms. Qian continued: "By the way, the word 'twelve' can be said to be special, or it can be said to be commonplace. Twelve can be followed by any ranking, twelve ropes, twelve people, twelve constellations, etc. But if it is matched with 'twelve' In fact, the scope of the word “branch” has been virtually narrowed down a lot.”

Shi Zhen said: "Twelve words, twelve cigarettes, twelve tunes... If you want to go deeper, there are still many things that can be matched with the word 'zhi'."

Ms. Qian nodded and didn't deny it, just continued: "I also racked my brains to think about the 'Twelve Branches' a lot, until one day, I found something, which may be more or less related to the Twelve Branches you want to know .”

"The twelve branches are beyond the scope of ordinary cognition?" Shi Zhen became interested.
