Scarlet Spirit Eye

Episode [-]: Substitute

These days, Japan and Hanwei have been invited by police stations all over the country because of the bloodless mummy case, and they have been on business trips. Jiang Siyan can only stay in Haicheng alone and guard the vacant room.On the weekends, it is even more like living a life of eating and waiting to die.There were many such lives in the past, and Jiang Siyan never felt that there was anything wrong with them, but since he and Han Weizi were together, it seemed that he couldn't bear the time alone.

One day, Jiang Siyan, who was at work, received a call from Qiao Yi. He was both pleasantly surprised and surprised, and asked, "Hey! What kind of wind brought you here? Did you think of calling me?"

Qiao Yi on the other end of the phone laughed twice and said, "I'm back."

Jiang Siyan regained his energy in an instant: "Are you back? When?"

Qiao Yi: "I arrived last night. The company asked me to rest for two days before going back to work."

Jiang Siyan: "Then are you free?"

Qiao Yi: "Well, did I call you before I woke up? Are you busy?"

Jiang Siyan: "Fortunately, I have nothing to do today, so I can get off work on time."

Qiao Yi: "Then see you at the old place at 06:30 in the evening?"

Jiang Siyan: "Okay."

After work, Jiang Siyan didn't dawdle, quickly packed his things, drove to the bar, and bumped into Qiao Yi who got out of the car at the door.

Qiao Yi changed his appearance, cut his hair, and became stronger, obviously more aggressive than before.

Jiang Siyan was surprised and said, "Did you really change your name?"

At the same time, Qiao Yi asked suspiciously, "Are you able to drive now?"

The two looked at each other and smiled.Jiang Siyan replied first: "Well, I have overcome my psychological shadow."

Qiao Yi: "Outside places are not as supportive as Haicheng, and if you are alone, you have to make yourself stronger so that you won't be bullied."

Jiang Siyan: "Go in!"

Sitting in familiar seats, order the wine that the two of them drink most often.

Jiang Siyan looked at Qiao Yi's proficient look, and said with a smile, "Did your drinking capacity increase after you went out?"

Qiao Yi lowered his head and smiled slightly: "There's no way, the new company has a lot of entertainment, so of course you can't do without wine. But you feel that your level has dropped a lot."

Jiang Siyan: "Han Wei doesn't let me drink much, so I can only drink a little once in a while."

Qiao Yi: "How does it feel to be controlled?"

Jiang Siyan confessed: "It was annoying at first, but now I'm used to it, and it's uncomfortable if no one cares about it."

Qiao Yi nodded, feeling envious: "It's pretty good."

Jiang Siyan asked back, "What about you? Do you have any new feelings?"

Qiao Yi shook his head: "I devote myself to work, I don't have much time, and I don't have any suitable people."

Jiang Siyan: "You should have time when you transfer back this time."

Qiao Yi: "I can't tell. I came back to be promoted this time. I don't know if I will have time in the future. Besides, I can't say that there will be feelings. You are lucky to meet me. I am not as lucky as you."

For some reason, Jiang Siyan always felt that Qiao Yi had changed and became a little sentimental.

"Then what's your plan?" Jiang Siyan asked.

"I made an appointment with old friends and planned to get together. I haven't been back for so long, and I feel that I have changed a lot, and I have to adapt to life here again."

"That's right, when you left so suddenly, many people didn't react."

"Well. Yes! At that time, there was no way." Qiao Yi smiled helplessly.What happened that day was what he asked for. If he hadn't stepped forward to help, the following absurdity would not have happened.He couldn't blame anyone, so he could only choose to escape.

The two chatted about interesting things during the time they were separated, and they chatted until late at night.

Qiao Yi: "It's getting late, how do you go back?"

Jiang Siyan: "Let's call the driver."

Qiao Yi: "Yes."

The two got up to leave, and there was a sudden commotion in the bar.

The voice came from behind, Jiang Siyan and Qiao Yi turned their heads at the same time, and saw a group of men and women sitting together, playing wine table games, the scene was extremely lively.

"Young people nowadays really know how to play." Jiang Siyan said with emotion, "All of a sudden it reminds me of us in the past."

Qiao Yi nodded: "Yes! Wasn't it the same when we first met?"

Suddenly, Qiao Yi noticed a familiar face in the crowd, and his heart tightened, thinking: We will meet so soon.The other party also looked at them, got up and walked towards them.Seeing Tang Jin appearing in the bar, Jiang Siyan felt very strange: "Why are you here? I heard from Han Wei that you haven't been busy with business at home recently?"

The Ling family has a huge business, but they only have two grandchildren, and Han Wei is determined to be a police officer, so the Ling family intends to let Tang Jin take over.Before Jiang Siyan heard Han Wei mention that during this period of time, the Ling family saw Tang Jin as very strict and rarely came out to play.

Tang Jin said with a smile: "Recently he performed well, so he was released."

Jiang Siyan: "Alright!"

Tang Jin turned his head and saw Qiao Yi, his face was inexplicably familiar: "This is your friend?"

Jiang Siyan nodded: "Yes, Qiao Yi, my good friend."

Tang Jin stretched out his hand: "Hello."

Qiao Yi was stunned for a moment, then shook his hand lightly: "Hello." Feeling a little disappointed and a little lucky.

Tang Jin looked at Qiao Yi: "Did we meet somewhere?"

Jiang Siyan: "Huh? Why does it feel like you're trying to get close to others?"

Tang Jin: "No, no, I just feel familiar."

Qiao Yi: "I was there at the bar where you and Jiang Siyan first met."

Tang Jin had no impression at all: "That's it! It's a pleasure to meet you."

Qiao Yi only replied with an unknown smile, and there was no more to say.

Tang Jin suddenly tilted his upper body, leaned close to Jiang Siyan's ear, and asked in a low voice, "My brother is not at home these two days, right?"

Jiang Siyan: "Yes! What's wrong?"

Tang Jin: "You went out to drink alone with other men behind his back, did he let him?"

Jiang Siyan: "Your brother is not that stingy, and he knows Qiao Yi."

Tang Jin stood up straight: "So that's the case. Since this is the case, do you want to play together?"

Jiang Siyan looked at Qiao Yi, wanting to hear his opinion: "Do you want to?"

Qiao Yi then said: "No, I just got tired and went back first, you can stay and ignore me."

Jiang Siyan: "Me too, Han Wei will definitely not be happy if he finds out."

Tang Jin: "Then I won't force it, and we will be together again next time."

Jiang Siyan: "Okay, don't play too much, be careful at home."

Tang Jin patted his chest: "Don't worry!"

Seeing Tang Jin's relaxed face, Jiang Siyan asked curiously, "You're back to normal."

Tang Jin: "It's just thinking about it. You can't hang yourself on a tree, can you? I also have to have my own life."

Jiang Siyan: "Okay! Let's go then."

Tang Jin: "Well, goodbye."

Jiang Siyan and Qiao Yi left the bar together.Maybe it's because of summer, the wind that blows is full of heat.

Qiao Yi let out a long breath: "That's great."

Jiang Siyan was surprised: "Where is it good?"

Qiao Yi: "Going home feels good everywhere."

Jiang Siyan smiled.

Qiao Yi was silent for a long time, unable to hold back the curiosity in her heart, and asked, "You and Tang Jin have a good relationship now?"

Jiang Siyan: "It's okay! We talked and let go."

Qiao Yi: "Let it go?"

Jiang Siyan: "Well, he met a person, and something seemed to happen on the way, so that he couldn't forget that person during that time."

Qiao Yi: "Never forget? Him?"

Jiang Siyan: "It's unbelievable! It even made him lose interest in other men for a while, but it looks like he just came out of the shadows."

When it came to Tang Jin's privacy, Jiang Siyan tried his best to speak euphemistically, but Qiao Yi still understood the deep meaning of these words by virtue of clues.

Qiao Yi sighed: "Fortunately he came out, otherwise he would have no hope in this life."

Jiang Siyan: "Not at all. Maybe it will be good to find someone's fault."

Qiao Yi shook his head, with a slightly bitter expression on his face: "It's not that easy, and it may not be useful if you find it."

"Why do you know so well?" Jiang Siyan has been a criminal policeman for many years, and his thinking is sharper than ordinary people. He quickly noticed that something was wrong with Qiao Yi: "Do you know something? Since you saw him just now, he has behaved abnormally."

Qiao Yi smiled awkwardly: "It's nothing, let's go."

"Wait a minute." Jiang Siyan grabbed Qiao Yi who was about to leave: "Let's chat, knight."

Qiao Yi followed Jiang Siyan into the car.The two were sitting in the car, and Jiang Siyan asked, "It's just the two of us, let's talk! What's going on with you and Tang Jin?"

Qiao Yi pretended to say, "If you think too much, we don't know each other."

Jiang Siyan: "Come on, I don't know you yet. You are always good at this kind of social interaction on weekdays, but today you are extremely cautious. And when Tang Jin started looking for someone, it happened to be the day you left Haicheng. Don't tell me it's a coincidence .”

Qiao Yi was silent, but her expression was not very good.

Jiang Siyan saw Qiao Yi like this, and then said: "I don't know what happened between you and him, but I know your reaction is not normal. You have always been very playful, and you will never hide things like this , but you are careful with him, this is not the you I know at all. Did he do something to apologize or hurt you? "

Qiao Yi: "No. It has nothing to do with him."

Jiang Siyan felt that Qiao Yi was depressed, so he said helplessly: "Forget it, since you don't want to say it, I won't force you. If you need it, you can call me anytime, and I will help you."

The softness in Qiao Yi's heart was gently touched, and he confessed: "I was the one who slept with him, but it was just an accident. I was drinking at the bar that day, and I ran into him who was drunk. The bar was about to close at that time, and the bartender said he couldn't sleep. I contacted his family and asked if I could do a favor. I thought it was someone I knew, so I agreed. I originally wanted to send him to the hotel and then leave, but I drank too much and did it. Got confused."

The cause and effect were similar to Jiang Siyan's guess, but there was a little bit of confusion.

"Then why did you run away?" Jiang Siyan asked, "Could it be that you were unhappy at night?"

Qiao Yi shook his head: "Hey, that's not true. I just felt embarrassed. He was completely unconscious. I was also half asleep and half awake. It felt like I was taking advantage of others, so when I woke up the next day and left, I left half of the rent. Is it okay?"

Jiang Siyan: "So you were afraid that he would think of it and trouble you just now?"

Qiao Yi: "Otherwise? It was originally an accident, but after all, I took advantage of someone's danger, so it's normal to be worried. I didn't tell anyone about it. If you heard about it, just pretend you didn't know it, and don't tell him. As for him looking for me, it won’t be a big deal if he finds it. I have no chance with him, I’m only fresh for three days, and you know that my relationship hasn’t lasted, but he doesn’t necessarily want to hurt him.”

Jiang Siyan sighed and could understand Qiao Yi's difficulties: "Okay, I understand. I will keep this matter a secret for you."

Qiao Yi: "Thanks, brother."

Jiang Siyan: "It's okay."

Qiao Yi's cell phone rang: "It seems that the surrogate driver has arrived, so I'll leave first."

Jiang Siyan: "Well, safe journey."

Qiao Yi shook his hand, got out of the car, found the substitute driver and returned to his own car, reported the location and closed his eyes.

Recalling the conversation with Jiang Siyan just now, Qiao Yi only confessed most of it, and deliberately concealed a part.The reason why he and Tang Jin were really impossible was not as simple as the accident he and Jiang Siyan said.

That night, even though Qiao Yi drank, he was still conscious. He did take advantage of Tang Jin by drinking too much, but he took advantage of it so much that even he himself regrets it to this day.

It is better to say it is shame than regret.Because that night, Tang Jin yelled another person's name all night—the goblin.

What Tang Jin thinks and fantasizes about is Jiang Siyan, so it is self-evident who the other party really wants to find, but he is just a stand-in, without a name, no matter what.
