Early the next morning, Jiang Xun sat on the bed in a daze, looked at the man sleeping next to him, and recalled what happened yesterday.

I remember that he had a mess with Song Yuzhi, kicked him out of the house, and went berserk in front of Jiang Juan's photos. He still had a small part of his memory when he was drunk, so that when he woke up, he saw Jiang Juan for the first time. When I saw my tired face, I suddenly felt that I had returned to ten years ago.

Reason spurred him back to reality, and he remembered that he was no longer the poor boy who needed to find an excuse of being "penniless" to live in a rented room with his crush, and everything related to Jiang Juan was gone. He will never return, and he who lives in his memory is like a hermit crab holding a hard shell and never letting go. He knows that it does not belong to him, but he is greedy for that warmth and sense of security, and his habit has become dependence.

He hesitated for a moment, then pulled down the arm across his waist, and pushed the frowning man, "What time do you get up, I have to support my family if you don't go to work, don't rely on me, Why are you sleeping in my bed?"

Jiang Zhu yawned, blinked his sleepy eyes, and was not fully awake yet, "You kid still have the nerve to say, go out with someone and get drunk, and it's not too cold to sleep on the floor when you come back, I know you don't like it Comfortable, but I can't do this to myself, how can I leave with peace of mind if you do this."

"Then you can't sleep with me." Jiang Xun dodged Jiang Zhu's swinging arm, rolled over and got out of bed, and rummaged through the clothes in the closet.

He sensed a little embarrassment in the atmosphere, and was eager to pull out a fig leaf to cover his naked body.

This is not the first time he has met Jiang Zhu frankly, but it is still unavoidable to feel ashamed and flustered when his ex-boyfriend's brother stares at him with hot eyes. Those eyes are like a sharp knife, and he wants to peel his back flesh and blood, and pulled out his heart to see what he was thinking.

"They can, but I can't?" Jiang Zhu's voice was a little hoarse, but he was fully awake.

"What are you talking about, get up quickly, the injury is still not healed, send you back to the Medical University before I go to work, is it the south campus or the north..."

"I know that no one can replace the little tired boy in your heart, and I never imagined that you could forget him. I just want to make you happy, even if you use me as his substitute, as long as you can heal you. The scars in your heart, I am willing to do anything, but why would you rather accept an outsider you met halfway and refuse to open your heart to me, Jiang Xun, have you ever had me in your heart? Even for a moment, a second, a moment, yes Haven't you thought about giving your sincerity to me once and for all?"

Jiang Xun sighed, he didn't have the courage to turn his head to look at Jiang Zhu's expression, not only because of the unexplainable feelings that the man had for him, but also because he didn't want to catch any shadow of Jiang Juan on the other party.

"Brother Jiang, we have come here without incident for so many years, do you have to embarrass us now?"

Jiang Zhu was silent for a long time before responding with a blunt smile, "I'm sorry, I just woke up and my mind is not sober, so don't take it to your heart when you say nonsense, I just look at you yesterday, and I feel very distressed."

"Don't worry, Jiang Juan's things will always be Jiang Juan's, and no one can take them away. But if it's gone, it's gone. This is life. Even if it's stupid, I hope you don't mention it again. No one should be anyone's. Substitutes, everyone is unique... including feelings, this thing is the only one in the world, and it cannot be reproduced."

He got dressed and left the room without looking back.

Neither of them said a word this morning. Before leaving, Jiang Xun called Aunt Yun to take care of Pengpeng. Since it was still early, I played with her for a while and tied her favorite braid.

Jiang Zhu was still feeling guilty about what happened in the morning, and boasted without saying anything: "Your craftsmanship is really good. There is a saying, how can you say that you have a tiger in your heart to sniff the roses, or you can just stay at home full-time to take care of the children and forget about doing laundry. If you are proficient in cooking and cleaning, if you learn embroidery, you can only get married directly."

"Fuck you, don't hurt me, stop wandering around in my pajamas, the blood is all stained by me, the stomach is dead, change clothes quickly, and leave when Aunt Yun arrives."

He sent Jiang Zhu back to the medical university, and learned about his injuries with Shen Guan, only to realize that these days have been tossed hard, not only himself, but even Jiang Zhu's wounds were repeatedly torn, and he suffered a lot.

But he did it purely because of himself, and Jiang Zhu suffered because of his doing it, so it doesn't feel good to think about it.

Back at the City Bureau, the atmosphere was still oppressive.

Chitose used to sit next to him, giving him some red dates and goji berries every now and then, and talking to him about health preservation, but now his position is the same as before, the lid of the teacup that has been brewing for a few days is still open, and the notes on the table are also opened. Then, the last character was only written with half of the radical. It seemed that the accident happened very quickly, leaving no room for him to react at all.

Jiang Xun didn't tamper with the things he left behind. Although these evidences must have been preserved, he was still reluctant to touch them, like facing a quiet pool, and he didn't want to stir up ripples to disturb the existing traces.

He rubbed his dry eyes, it seemed that he had drained all his tears for a year in the past few days, and he also felt powerless and unable to vent his emotions.

"Brother Jiang, why are you here?" Di Zhen was a little surprised, and touched him from top to bottom, and he was relieved after confirming that his injury was really no serious problem, "Gao Ju released you for a month. Fake, why come back so early, you are a public injury, and it is so serious, no one will pick on you if you rest for a few days."

"I can't lie down at home, it would be better if I come out and meet more people, that...forget it, is there any case recently?"

"It's New Year's Eve, and the prisoner has to go home for a reunion. At most, there are a few thieves who take advantage of the fire, and it's not up to our city bureau to come out." Di Zhen returned to his work station while turning his pen, and took a picture of his notebook. On the table, start to watch the news on the intranet.

Jiang Xun stared at his movements, always feeling a little weird, but couldn't tell for a while.

He wandered between the seats of Di Zhen and Chitose, and suddenly realized where the problem was - the pen.

Chitose should have written something before he was taken away, but the key pen was missing even though the last word was not finished.

He searched all over the neighborhood, but he couldn't find Qiantose's most precious pen. Di Zhen couldn't stand it anymore, "Brother Jiang, what's wrong with you? Did you lose something? Let me help you find it."

"No, that..." Jiang Xun organized his words, "After that incident, before the headquarters took over, we did a site survey, right? Did we find anything?"

Di Zhen heard that this was tricking him, understood that Jiang Xun couldn't let go of Qiantui's matter, felt guilty, and wanted to make him feel better, so he pulled him aside and whispered: "I don't know about this matter. More, it’s okay to tell you all, just to make you feel at ease. Before handing over to the provincial bureau, we did have the progress of the investigation, and compared all the physical evidence. Nothing was found, and the result given by the headquarter was the same. Team Zhou managed to get Brother Qian’s relics back, and now they are all placed in the exact same position as they were on the day of the accident.”

"Did you find Brother Qian's pen? I heard it was given to him by his tutor when he was in school. He has always liked it."

"I'm also a little strange about this. Brother Qian treasures that pen. Although it is not worth much, it is very commemorative to him. He usually stays with him, but I can't find it in the office or on Brother Qian. Twin Towers At the scene over there... I didn't find it, I actually suspect that the things were taken away by the prisoners, but it's only about a hundred yuan, as for it?"

Jiang Xun didn't know anything about the progress of the case until now, and couldn't wait to ask about the situation that day. Even though he was prepared to get nothing, he still couldn't hide his disappointment after personally confirming it.

Di Zhen scratched his hair impatiently, "We did our best. Before Brother Qian had any accident, the armed police had already arrived. They were afraid of provoking the criminals so they didn't act rashly. Immediately after the incident, they rushed into the Twin Towers. I searched all over the place, but I didn't even find a ghost, and the prisoner just disappeared out of thin air, outrageous!"

"how is this possible……"

"I also don't think it's possible. Boss Pei called the surveillance cameras of the Twin Towers, and only captured the scene where the prisoner dragged Brother Qian into the air corridor. Afterwards, it was the same as when he was in the city bureau. He somehow hacked into the security system. , replaced the screen with another time, and the thief was careless, the video was played in broad daylight, and people came and went on both sides, so I was so angry."

"It's not careless, it's deliberate provocation." At this point, Jiang Xun suddenly realized something, and immediately grabbed Di Zhen, "Do you still remember what time it was and what was the screen playing?"

"I'm me, I can't remember the time. The picture should be what it looks like during the business hours. I can occasionally see people passing by the corridor. They should be OLs from Building A to Building B. You can ask Boss Pei for details."

"Besides these, what else have you found?"

"Hey Brother Jiang, I've told you everything I know. It's such a big deal that we handed it over to the head team before we could get to the bottom of it. If possible, I'd like to know more details, but the matter is already like this, and the case is not returned. Let's take care of it, and it's impossible for the general team to disclose the progress and details of the investigation to us. It's considered humane to inform us before the case is closed. Don't worry about it. We don't feel good when something like this happened to Brother Qian, but the strength of the general team Put it there, all of them are elites among the elites, and they will definitely give Brother Qian justice, so you can rest assured and heal your wounds."

Di Zhen had already tried his best, but Jiang Xun didn't force him. After chatting for a few more words, he returned to his seat and drew arcs in his notebook.

Maybe he has already found a breakthrough in the case. On the day of the mortuary, he didn't have time to think about the suspicious marks on Chitose's body. Fortunately, he remembered clearly, and it's not too late to recall now.

He reproduced the shape of the scar, and still remembered that there were black spots between the imprints similar to tooth marks. If you didn't look closely, you would mistake them for dust particles, but the probability of the marks was too high to be ignored. , he forced himself to write it down.

Holding the pen, his palms were sweating, and every time he drew a stroke, he felt that he was one step closer to the truth.

When the last scar was reproduced on the paper, his breathing stopped.

If the arc is regarded as a straight line, then the secret sign of this combination of dots and lines is...

— Morse code?

·----, --···, this shape is...

"Seventeen?"
