daytime firefly

Xu Zhi was wearing Zhou Jianming's T-shirt, sitting bare-legged on his wooden bed, smelling of dry soap all over his body.

After dark, there was only the dim light in the house. Xu Zhi was a little scared, afraid that those people would come again and they would be caught off guard, but Zhou Jianming didn't think that was the case.

"Do you know who found those people?"

Zhou Jianming was sitting at the table. The old lady had just brought a form to say population registration, but her old eyes were too dim to write complete words, so Zhou Jianming did it for her. Now she simply said two words, "Liang An."

With this name again, Xu Zhi got out of bed and sat down opposite him, "What the hell is he going to do?"

"I don't know." After Zhou Jianming finished speaking, he put away his pen, got up and went out with the paper, and came back after a while, telling him, "I'll take you back."

"Now?"

"Well, I have something else to do."

Xu Zhi persisted, "What's the matter, why are you going? Let me tell you, Zhou Jianming, you can't make any mistakes at this time. Safety comes first, you know?"

Zhou Jianming held him down, pulled him into his arms, and asked endlessly, "Will you be sad if something happens to me?"

"What do you say..."

"They won't come over," Zhou Jianming said again, "Don't you know if I had other thoughts about you when I was young?"

Xu Zhi was stunned for a while, then opened him, "You kind of split you up."

After Zhou Jianming sent Xu Zhi home, he went straight to a place. There are countless old blocks in Jiangbei City, one of which is inserted behind the buttocks of office buildings in the business district. The taxi was parked by the side of the road. Zhou Jianming got out of the car and went into an alley , When I came out again, in front of me was a tube building left over from the end of the last century, and rows of clean clothes were drying on the outer corridor. go upstairs.

Zhou Jianming went up to the fourth floor and knocked on the door at the end of the corridor on the right. After entering, he was sapped and fell to his knees.

The room is very quiet. The outbuilding where Zhou Jianming is kneeling is like an office area. There are several workstations. In front of him is a Japanese-style sliding door. The door is closed. After a while, Zhou Jianming heard a few groans. It is the sound that can only be made when pain and pleasure come together.

"Is the detention center fun?" A voice from inside asked.

Zhou Jianming didn't answer, but said inside, "You hid that thing really well, when are you going to give it to me?"

"Not with me."

"Uh hiss... Take it easy..." After a while of coquettishness, "It doesn't matter, I just want you to give it to me, I can wait, when you finish your sentence, there are just a few months, you think it through inside, give it to me No one will suffer, if you don't give it, I will take care of Lawyer Xu for you."

Of course, the people inside couldn't see the look in Zhou Jianming's eyes after his words, and the groans became more and more rampant. Zhou Jianming stood up slowly, and walked out passing by the two thugs behind him.

In the middle, the man's hair was pulled behind his ear by one hand, and a red mole on his temple was particularly conspicuous. He was sitting on another man's lap, his body was naked, and the tight fit gave off sizzling water stains. Squeeze.

There was a glass of water on the desk behind him. When the desk shook, the water splashed out and splashed on an advertising leaflet. The four big characters 'Hengyou Financial' written on it were also blurred by the water.

Xu Zhi and Haili met several times in the company, but after the dinner, Haili was obviously not so enthusiastic towards Xu Zhi, and she just nodded politely when they met, and sometimes took the same elevator Haili would suddenly turn back and say that she forgot to take something before going in, but these were all within Xu Zhi's expectation. He still went to work across the sea every day, earning a cheap salary that didn't match the labor.

It was more than a week after Qi Jingyi came back that he met Xu Zhi, and Ping Bokuan was also brought along on that side. The three of them sat in Qi Jingyi's apartment and looked at each other.

"You let them meet?" Ping Bokuan broke the silence.

"Well, pretend not to know," Xu Zhi said, "Yu Haili's acting skills are too bad."

"Now, did you find anything?"

Xu Zhi softened his body and leaned against the back of the sofa, "Officer Ping, why don't we talk about something else first."

Qi Jingyi turned to drink. Seeing the two silently staring at each other, he interjected, "You said that Zhang Dingquan's attitude changed so much within a few days. Did he meet someone or hear something?"

"Of course he realized something, but the motive is hard to ascertain," Ping Bokuan said to Xu Zhi after finishing speaking, "I have wronged you. When this matter is over, I will thank you on behalf of the Municipal Public Security Bureau."

Xu Zhi, the only one who dared to roll his eyes when such false words came from a people's policeman, took the cup from Qi Jingyi and said, "After dinner that day, I followed her for a while, she seemed to want to I went back to the company, but the car went downstairs and went around again. When I arrived at the old street, the car drove into an alley. My car was stopped by some children for half a minute. When the taxi came out, no one was in the car. gone."

"Where is that place?" Qi Jingyi asked.

"Xinghe Lane," Ping Bokuan said for Xu Zhi, "is next to the office building of the Yuehai Group."

"Is she going back to her own home?"

"No," Xu Zhi said, "Yu Haili is a local. The police officer has checked her address. She lives in a high-end apartment. Besides, she is quite delicate. How could she live in that kind of place?"

"Squeamish? Aren't girls like this? It's not called squeamish, it's not as rough as us men."

Xu Zhi shook his head repeatedly after hearing this, "I took her to eat at Li Ziran's mother, she was so disgusted that she almost turned the table and left." After finishing speaking, as if thinking of something, "Officer Ping, there is a new Michelin-starred private chef in Jiangbei, You can go there if it's convenient for you, Yu Haili mentioned it, but I don't think she will go there by herself."

"Okay." Ping Bokuan put down Erlang's legs and got up on his knees, "You guys talk, I'll go back to the game first."

"What's the hurry, let's talk for a while." Xu Zhi looked at him with a smile, pretending to be a bit obsequious to persuade him to stay.

"The case of the Liu family is still being investigated, Lawyer Xu, don't try to scare me at this time, I won't take this."

The door opened and closed, and Xu Zhi lay back down again, "Old Qi, rub it for me."

Qi Jingyi walked up to him, sat down with his arms around the back of his neck, put his head on his lap, and rubbed his temples with a little force.

"Old Fang talked to me about your thoughts, as long as you are safe, I have no opinion on what to do."

Xu Zhi closed his eyes and listened for a while, "The water in Yuehai Company is too deep. I have always felt that it is not as calm as it seems on the surface. Everyone, everyone is very strange, but I I can't say it again."

"Can't find a breakthrough?"

"Ah."

Yu Haili, Zhang Dingquan, Tan Xiao... Zhang Dingquan's sexual assault case, Liu's family extermination case, Liu Xintong's death case, Li Hua's murder case...and Li Ziran's mother , What is the connection between all these, Xu Zhi is really a little tired, so tired that he can't connect anything for a while.

Before falling asleep, I only heard Qi Jingyi say to him, "It's okay, take your time, if you need help, just tell me..."

Feng Xiangjun's sentence was supposed to come down in December, but the crime rate skyrocketed at the end of the year, and there was no relevant report on Li Hua's case in the news for a while.

Until a year later, on the 2th day of the first lunar month, that is, on February 11th in the Gregorian calendar, the news suddenly reported that the suspect in the Li Hua case had been found, but it was coded on the screen, saying that the police would wait until the results of the interrogation and investigation were confirmed. A specific announcement will be made.

Xu Zhi thought it might be because Ping Bokuan just captured someone last time, the news broke the suspect, and later it was found out that it wasn't that person who did it, so the media was more or less cautious.

Xuan Hong brought dumplings in the evening, and was going to call him over for dinner, but Xu Zhi refused. The dumplings were placed on the coffee table, and Xu Zhi sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, in a daze for a long time, when a table of dishes suddenly appeared in front of him.

Porcelain plates with blue patterns on a white background, a soup pot for stewing mutton, and children playing in the yard, the dust is flying.

"What are you doing?" Xu Zhi walked to the far end of the yard, where the village chief, Grandpa, and Zhou Jianming were sitting on pony stools, holding a pile of branches, as if they were about to weave something.

"Straw horses," Zhou Jianming said, "Today is the grass horse festival."

"Grass Horse Festival?" Xu Zhi knelt down and picked it up. Apart from the branches, there were also some wild flowers and pumpkin leaves. "Then what?"

"Kill the chicken to eat at night."

"I see a table of dishes on the table, and kill the chicken?"

Zhou Jianming glanced at him and nodded. Before Xu Zhi could speak, he came to Ange with a bamboo flute in his hand, "There will be an event tonight, Grandpa said, and I can listen to the music tonight."

"Then there is no class?"

"What class are you attending? The Puyun Society belongs to the Aza Branch. The Grass Horse Festival is especially important to them. Put the Flower and Grass Horses at the west entrance of the village later, and take them out for a competition tomorrow. You will have a meal in the outskirts at noon, and you will have a bullfight in the afternoon." , you can still sing and dance at night, so we're here!"

Xu Zhi cast a look at Grandpa waiting for confirmation. Grandpa saw it and nodded with a smile. Xu Zhi also became excited, "Then let me help, how to do it, Zhou Jianming, teach me!"

He held Zhou Jianming's arm, moved unnaturally, and broke away, "Tie flowers, just dress it up."

"okay."

The grass horse took shape, and Zhou Jianming, looking at the heroic and mighty horse, put a marijuana made of pumpkin leaves on the horse's back, and went to the kitchen to dig out some stove ashes and stuffed it inside.

Xu Zhi pouted his buttocks to look, and Zhou Jianming quickly wiped his face with his hands holding the ashes.

With flowers on his face, Grandpa laughed, and Xiang An also looked like he wouldn't make decisions for him. So, in the yard, Xu Zhilian brought a group of children to fight with Zhou Jianming, and the atmosphere was lively like New Year's Eve.

It was the Grass Horse Festival, and it was also the first time Xu Zhi felt happy in Puyun Club. In those few days, Ji Sejianming made fun of him even more. When he woke up at night, he could always see a figure outside the window, holding a Burning wormwood fumigates mosquitoes and flies for them.

Time flies too fast, it filters a lot of things that should be fresh in memory, leaving those insignificant residues, which make you uncomfortable at a certain lonely moment, Xu Zhi came back to his senses, sighed, never Sliding down from the sofa and kneeling on the carpet, he picked up a dumpling with his chopsticks, fed it into his mouth and quickly spit it out, then rushed into the bathroom, and threw up on the toilet.

After several days of not eating well, he suddenly smelled the smell of minced meat, and his stomach was so greasy. After Xu Zhi vomited, he got up and washed his face. Amidst the sound of the faucet, he raised his eyes and saw standing behind him in the mirror. Zhou Jianming.
