A charming and dangerous character

The sun in the sky was covered at some unknown time, like a child's prank, the light in front of the eyes suddenly dimmed, and if one didn't look at the watch, people would never guess that it was just afternoon.

And a thick fog that seemed to be pure white without any impurities spread silently in the city.

Originally, the visibility on the road was still one or two kilometers, but as the air thinned and the smog became heavier, people seemed to be able to see clearly less than [-] meters away, and the vehicles driving on the road were also forced to slow down instantly.

"drop!"

Black Modern was dissatisfied with the queue like a long queue in front of it, and uttered an angry whistle loudly and abruptly, but it was quickly submerged in the "symphony" of horns coming from different positions in all directions.

And the grumpy driver in the Hyundai car was Cheng Ye who anxiously went to the place of reporting after hearing what Zhao Yiwei said.

"Damn it..." He cursed in a low voice, then raised his eyes to the rearview mirror of the car, and asked Lin Ze who was sitting in the back seat: "Xiao Lin, is there any other shortcuts around? I don't know the block in front. How long will it be blocked!"

Hearing this, Lin Ze obediently checked his surroundings through the mist outside the window—as a native of S City, he is proficient in all kinds of small roads in the city—but this time after looking at it for a long time, he rushed forward in embarrassment. Ye shook his head: "Sorry to form a team... The road we are walking seems to be the fastest..."

"Also, look behind us now—"

"..." Cheng Ye silently spit out another dirty word. Through the rearview mirror, he could see that there was a long queue behind their car. Although he was anxious, there was nothing he could do.

Now that they have entered the traffic jam like an ocean, even if Lin Ze said other routes at this moment, it is estimated that they will not be able to jump from the current position to the destination by pressing "1" like the F5 racing car in the mobile game.

The reason why Lin Ze rushed to the scene this time and got into Cheng Ye's car was because the silver-gray Jetta he usually drove broke down, and he had sent it to the garage for repairs and hadn't returned yet.Therefore, Qi Zhanzhu, who is not very talkative, Gao Zhiqiang, who is still catching up on sleep in the car without being disturbed, and Huang Rong, who just failed to confess to Cheng Ye, are also on this Hyundai at this time.

Of course she sat up on purpose, and in a fit of anger, she directly sat in the co-pilot's seat next to Cheng Ye.

However, because Cheng Ye knew the news about Qiu Chuyi's appearance and the current traffic jam, he was very anxious as if lighting a fire in the hot summer, and he didn't have the heart to care too much about Huang Rong.

But Huang Rong clearly felt the neglect from Cheng Ye after getting in the car, and she was even more depressed inside, and her expression on her face looked quite angry.

"By the way, did Team Zhao say who the whistleblower is?" Cheng Ye suddenly asked again.

It can't be blamed that he didn't listen to Zhao Yiwei's speech carefully before, the main reason is that when he heard the news of Qiu Chuyi, Cheng Ye's thoughts were all shocked by it, and naturally he was not in the mood to listen carefully to Zhao Yiwei. What was said after that.

Lin Ze repeated: "It's a staff member who sells medicine in a pharmacy. The aunt said that she saw a man wearing a mask to buy medicine three hours ago. Wool coat..."

"Based on this?" Cheng Ye was surprised when he heard it: "The aunt who reported it knew that the man who bought things was Qiu Chuyi, so she reported it to the police?"

He seemed to be surprised by this. "The dispatch center is also, how did this pass? It won't end up telling us that it's an own goal, so let's make a waste of time later, right?"

But Huang Rong, who had been silent in the co-pilot, suddenly said at this moment: "You don't understand that!" Her voice was high-pitched, and her tone sounded a little sarcastic: "Tweed is used to make coats very well." It is a good material, and it is also a classic fabric used by Chanel, and it is very popular with the British royal family who likes hunting and fishing. Most people—"

She originally wanted to use this to ridicule Cheng Ye, but after thinking about it carefully, she still didn't want to offend this heartless brother Cheng, so she changed her words: "In short, the residents in that area should not be able to afford twill. Soft coats, unless they get rich suddenly or win the lottery."

Lin Ze, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, also nodded, affirming Huang Rong's answer just now: "The aunt of this pharmacy worked in Burberry's garment factory before, so she knows that the material of this windbreaker is not cheap."

It is not clear that Burberry is a British luxury brand of windbreakers, Cheng Ye: "..."

Qi Zhanzhu, who was honestly sitting in the back seat, didn't say a word, Cheng Ye didn't expect that he would have this day, and was silenced by the combination of "you don't understand" punches by these two brats.

All right, it's normal for him not to understand these things—who made the two people in front of him be rich second generations while he was just a poor boy?

Thinking of this, Cheng Ye really felt much better.

And in this kind of science popularization, which can be regarded as a mood adjustment, the atmosphere among the people eased a lot, and Cheng Ye also drove his two black Hyundais and finally walked a long way in the long queue.After turning left at the intersection, he and Huang Rong in the front row quickly saw the pharmacy that the whistleblower mentioned through the high beam.

It wasn't because the sight suddenly became better when the smog cleared. The main reason was that the pharmacy's signboard with colorful lights was really ostentatious, and it could emit lighthouse-like guiding lights even in dense fog.

After parking the car, Cheng Ye and his party of five got out of the small broken car one after another.

However, after seeing the fat Gao Zhiqiang getting out of the car and four companions who were not petite beside him, some passers-by suddenly showed puzzled expressions on their faces, as if they were wondering whether this small car was How to accommodate so many people.

Fortunately, the fog is thick now, Cheng Ye and the others didn't notice anything wrong, and walked into this 24-hour chain pharmacy with a calm pace.

"...Yes, just now he came in from outside to buy a medicine change kit, and then he left after paying the bill." The auntie used her hands and feet to indicate the position of the door and the glass display cabinet in front of everyone, very He described the scene just now to Cheng Ye and the others with great emotion.

"Drug change kit?" Cheng Ye ignored the other useless details in his aunt's words, keenly grasped this point, and asked, "Is he injured?"

The aunt in the pharmacy shook her head: "I don't know about that. He said he bought it for the pets at home, and said that some pets were injured."

Cheng Ye and others certainly knew how Qiu Chuyi, who was on the way to escape, could carry pets, but the auntie of the pharmacy obviously didn't know much.So he asked again: "Then how did you recognize that person as Qiu Chuyi just now? Didn't you say that he wore a mask on his face? With a mask on, can you be so sure that you won't admit your mistake?"

Hearing that Cheng Ye's tone was serious and unfriendly, this time the auntie in the pharmacy thought about it carefully, as if weighing whether her memory was wrong in her heart, everyone waited for a while before she heard her tone say with certainty: "It should be him, I Can't be mistaken!"

"As soon as he came in, I felt that he had an outstanding personality. Although he wore a mask on his face, he looked like a movie star. At first I thought it was someone who acted in a movie, because I always felt that his appearance was familiar, as if he had Where did you see it on TV?"

The aunt of the pharmacy may be referring to an interview program that Qiu Chuyi once watched. After all, he was once a rising star in the business circle of S City, and with his outstanding looks and temperament, he was also the subject of interviews and reports by provincial and municipal TV stations.

"Before he went out, I recognized that the coat he was wearing was tweed and it was of a brand. This kind of clothes can't be worn by ordinary people. If it's not for the star boss level, ordinary people have to save for several months. You can afford one with your salary!" She then pointed to the place where Cheng Ye was standing: "He was standing with you just now—that's where this handsome police officer was standing, that is, in front of this row of glass cabinets..."

At this moment, my aunt suddenly remembered something again: "Oh, right, just now he bought medicine for a foreign girl!"

"Foreign girl?" Cheng Ye originally wanted to interrupt the aunt's clueless description, but when he heard this, he immediately asked in doubt: "Did she come in with the man you mentioned?"

The aunt quickly shook her head: "No, no, it's a girl who went into the store and wanted to buy medicine. But I can't understand English, and that girl seems to be mentally ill..."

She pointed to her head again, and said, "She seems to be sick there... she kept muttering there, I can't understand English and I don't know what she wants to buy, but thanks to that young man who came in and helped her translate , I just found out that the foreign girl wants to buy chlorpromazine hydrochloride tablets."

When Cheng Ye heard it, it was indeed Qiu Chuyi's work to help people translate this kind of pretense.But he didn't know what the medicine his aunt was talking about was about to ask, but Lin Ze beside him suddenly spoke up and helped everyone popularize science at the right time.

"Chlorpromazine is a drug for treating mental illness." Noticing that everyone looked at him with surprised eyes, Lin Ze rubbed the back of his head with some embarrassment and said, "What's wrong? Am I wrong?" Yet?"

The aunt of the pharmacy couldn't help but nodded, and chimed in: "The little police officer is right! This medicine is to treat that girl's mania!"

Cheng Ye also silently whistled to Lin Ze, as if to express his approval for him: "That's pretty good, Xiao Lin! You actually know so many things! As a criminal policeman, you really need to know a little bit about everything. You study!"

"It's just a coincidence..." Lin Ze seemed to feel shy when he heard what Cheng Ye said, and lowered his head in embarrassment.

Cheng Ye didn't say anything more, but asked the pharmacy aunt again: "After the man bought the medicine, did you see where he went?"

Gao Zhiqiang and Qi Zhanzhu patrolled outside the pharmacy before opening the door and entering the store.As soon as Cheng Ye saw the two of them walk in, he asked, "Old Gao and Lao Qi, how do you see the situation outside? Are there any other witnesses? How many surveillance cameras are there near the pharmacy?"

Qi Zhanzhu shook his head first: "The fog suddenly rose in the afternoon, people walking on the street could not see clearly if they were not facing each other, and we asked all the shops around and they all said that they had never seen this person."

Gao Zhiqiang also denied the words: "There are many residential areas here, and there are quite a few cameras. But because of the smog, I guess the monitoring may not be able to capture anything, and if he is more cautious, even if we go to check the video, it should be fine. Find a way to find him."

Hearing what the two colleagues said, Cheng Ye couldn't tell whether he was more depressed or more fortunate at the moment.

Just when they planned to continue searching along this road to see if they could find any other clues, Zhao Yiwei, who informed them but didn't come here together, finally came late.

It's not because Zhao Yiwei was on sick leave for too long that he felt slack at work when he first came to work—on the contrary, he was very uncomfortable at home during this period of time. After the doctor said there was no problem, he immediately canceled his leave and returned to work.

In fact, Zhao Yiwei and his men drove here from another road after notifying Wan Wanye and the others just now.Of course, they couldn't escape the curse of "traffic jam" after the smog hit, but Zhao Yiwei had one more encounter than Cheng Ye. He happened to meet Xiong Taili, a criminal investigation expert who was also stuck in the traffic jam.

So as soon as Cheng Ye and the others came out of the drugstore, they saw two high-end cars—the Hongqi H5 and the Volvo XC60 suddenly parked on the side of the street—and the one that was parked next to them with five people. Compared with the old and worn-out, even the shells of them are extraordinarily shiny as if they have just been waxed.

The posture of Zhao Yiwei, Xiong Taili and others getting out of the car is also very cool.

Cheng Ye silently rolled his eyes towards the sky, and greeted him cordially, "Long time no see, Expert Xiong!"

When Zhao Yiwei heard what he said, he immediately complained: "You kid, don't you just say 'long time no see'?"

But Xiong Taili just smiled when he heard it, and glanced at his eldest apprentice from the corner of his eye, thinking that Cheng Ye had done him a favor last time, he replied politely: "I haven't seen you for a while, Officer Xiao Cheng."

Both Lin Ze and Huang Rong knew Xiong Taili, so they also obediently came over to say hello to him.

"Bear expert."

"Master."

Xiong Taili smiled at the two of them again, but the expression on his face was obviously more cordial and kind.

Cheng Ye could see that Xiong Taili seemed to be here to help, but he was afraid that he might not be sure, so he simply asked, "I don't know if Expert Xiong is here?"

"Oh, I just found something and I'm going back to the city bureau for a meeting. It's smoggy today, and when I was stuck on the road, I saw a car surrounded by cars, so I followed along..."

Cheng Ye was wondering in his heart that this pharmacy couldn't go in the direction of the police station anyway, but Expert Xiong didn't finish speaking, and continued to explain to everyone.

"It's not because I dropped in, but because the superiors have new instructions on the '[-]' case." Speaking of this, he looked at Cheng Ye with a little apology, and Cheng Ye felt an ominous warning in his heart.

Sure enough, Xiong Taili went on to say: "Officer Xiaocheng, you and Yiwei may not need to take charge of this case at the moment, the upper management has transferred a new person in charge to take over..."

"what?"

"Ah? Don't we need to check?"

"..."

Unable to believe that the voices of questioning and retorting came one after another, Cheng Ye gasped when he heard the news: "Expert Xiong... You are not mistaken, are you? Why did you suddenly change people?"

In front of everyone, Xiong Taili couldn't tell the whole truth - there are some twists and turns in it, but he wanted to save some face for both parties, so he avoided answering and simply said: "The new person in charge He happened to be in my car, and you and Yiwei hand over the documents to him later."

Hearing the words, everyone looked at the majestic Volvo, and immediately saw a pair of long legs covered in uniforms stepping out of the car, and then the man leaned out again with a straight body, and although not top-notch handsome but It can also make people's eyes shine with a heroic face.

Although the man's appearance is not as outstanding as Qiu Chuyi's, but his whole body is really different, as if he has a dignified and stable aura, and standing in the white haze makes him look like a god. God handsome.

Xiong Taili seemed very satisfied with the new police officer, he waved his hand to the man, and couldn't help but smile a little more on his face: "Come here! I'll introduce someone to you."

Cheng Ye's body froze uncontrollably, because he looked up and saw the person walking towards them——

It was Qiu Chuyi who hadn't seen him for many years, Song Zhengrong.
