A charming and dangerous character

Cheng Ye remembers that there is a common saying that people often say: "The most dangerous place is often the safest place."

Among the 36 strategies, there is also a strategy called "Crossing the Sea", which also talks about using lies and disguises to hide the true intention of actions from others, and then secretly act behind the scenes.

Since history and life have given him such a perfect reason, why can't he invite his "down and out" old friends to take refuge in his home?

Cheng Ye finally thought of an excellent excuse for his abrupt opening just now.

He looked at Qiu Chuyi who was still standing there as if he was stunned by his abrupt opening just now, coughed a few times unnaturally to ease the embarrassing atmosphere.

After cheering himself up again in his heart, Cheng Ye said again: "Hey, that... Actually, I think so, because my parents bought me a small apartment in S City before, and I haven't been doing much recently. Go back to the dormitory prepared for me by the Municipal Bureau, it just happened to be cleaned up there."

Cheng Ye was tired of investigating the case recently, and he always went back to the small apartment for a temporary rest, but he did not disclose the existence of this property to Gao Zhiqiang and the others: "You take your daughter to my place, no one knows there, It should not be easy to arouse the suspicion of my colleagues."

What Cheng Ye said this time sounded somewhat grounded and reasonable, so Qiu Chuyi's eyes seemed to waver.

Cheng Ye clearly saw this change, and immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue it. He decided to add fuel to the fire and give himself some strength: "My place is quite clean, and everything is there—"

Speaking of this, he specifically looked at Qiu Chuyi's blood-stained skirt, but his brows frowned imperceptibly: "Going to my place can help you clean up the wound, and you don't have to risk your whereabouts to go outside anymore The pharmacy bought a disposable suture kit."

Sure enough, when Qiu Chuyi heard this reason, he thought about it carefully in his mind - he was injured and it would be inconvenient to move, not to mention that he had to take the unconscious Qiu Chuchu with him to escape from the police. The current situation is indeed as Cheng Ye said. As you think, he is not suitable to act alone.

"Trust me." When Cheng Ye spoke again, his voice was low and serious, and Qiu Chuyi also found that his eyes were full of sincerity: "Nothing will happen, I am sure."

After estimating in his heart that the risk of Cheng Ye's proposal should be very small, Qiu Chuyi, who froze in place for a long time, nodded slowly, finally agreeing.

The apartment that Cheng Ye bought in City S is also located in the suburban area close to the moat. It is not too far away from the Beihu villas and Yuying International Center. The straight-line distance is less than two kilometers.

This coincidence has to make people feel that fate is indeed mysterious.

On the way back, Cheng Ye sat in the driver's seat and was in charge of driving, while Qiu Chuyi sat in the rear seat to take care of Qiu Chuchu.

Cheng Ye usually has the habit of listening to music and driving, and there are a bunch of original soundtracks of "The True Colors of Heroes" such as "Don't Lose Your Mind" and "Love in the Past" in his co-pilot drawer, but now he is not as usual. play music.

There were very few vehicles going to the suburbs in the middle of the night, Cheng Ye looked absently at the rearview mirror inside the car while driving.Then he found that Qiu Chuchu was lying on Qiu Chuyi's lap at the moment, and he still seemed to be in a deep sleep.

He thought to himself, when the child woke up, he would probably be completely unaware of those thrilling experiences just now.However, after thinking about it again, Cheng Ye realized that something was wrong.

"By the way—" Therefore, Cheng Ye suddenly spoke, and his voice instantly broke the original silence in the car: "Why is your daughter Chuchu sleeping all the time?"

After a pause, he asked in a strange tone: "Is it possible that she fell into a coma?"

Through the rearview mirror, Cheng Ye clearly saw Qiu Chuyi nodding silently, probably because he was afraid that he would not see him, so he replied softly: "Yes."

"Why did you become unconscious? Where did you hit it?" But Qiu Chuchu didn't see a big bump on her forehead, and the little girl's face was always clean.

However, it took a while this time before a reply came from the back: "No, it's a drug given by someone...but it's unclear what kind of drug it is."

Hearing this answer, Cheng Ye immediately thought of Qiu Chuyi's bleeding wound (he didn't know it was an old wound)—it seemed that other people had "found" Qiu Chuyi before, and he couldn't help but thump in his heart .

He distractedly looked into the rearview mirror again, only to find that Qiu Chuyi's handsome face was full of remorse and self-blame.

Cheng Ye couldn't help blaming himself in his heart for not being able to chat - why did he just poke where it hurts - he clearly knew that Qiu Chuyi cared about this daughter very much.

In order to restore the suddenly sluggish atmosphere in the car, Cheng Ye thought for a while, and then said: "Uh... don't worry too much, I see that Chu Chu's face is flushed all the time, it should not be a bad medicine. Maybe the child I've been too tired recently, so I really fell asleep with the medicine, maybe tomorrow morning, she can sleep well and wake up normally like every day."

"I hope so." Qiu Chuyi's voice still sounded flat.

Cheng Ye wished he hadn't asked that question just now, originally he wanted to take the opportunity to have a chat with Qiu Chuyi, but he didn't even want to start the chat before he could die before leaving school.

After cutting off all thoughts of chatting, Cheng Ye saw a certain building getting closer in front of him, changed the subject abruptly again, and said to Qiu Chuyi: "Hey! Did you see that red and white high-rise building in front of you?" ? That building is my apartment in S City!"

In order to prevent the three of them from being seen walking through the complex, Cheng Ye drove the car directly to the underground garage of this building.

Because of his familiarity with the terrain and the professionalism of the police officers, Cheng Ye easily led Qiu Chuyi and Qiu Chuchu to avoid all surveillance and came to the stairwell where no cameras were installed.

"squeak……"

The sound of the fire door being opened was very soft, which was naturally the result of Cheng Ye's deliberate manipulation.Although it was already midnight, Cheng Ye was the first to enter the stairwell to check the situation just to be on the safe side.

After looking around again, he felt that there was no one else in the corridor, so he asked Qiu Chuyi who had been waiting to bring Qiu Chuchu in.

Because of Qiu Chuyi's injury, Cheng Ye took the initiative to invite Ying and took on the important task of carrying Qiu Chuchu upstairs for him.

The two went upstairs very fast, but their footsteps on the steps were light. If there was no green safety light shining on their legs that alternated up and down, if a person came in at this time, they would probably still be alive. I thought they were floating upstairs.

Although Cheng Ye was "forced" to carry dozens of kilograms of weight, he acted as if he didn't feel tired at all, and was a little abnormally excited, talking to himself while going upstairs, talking non-stop.

But his voice was very soft, as if he was worried about attracting others' attention: "...Fortunately, the floor I live in is not high. If I bought the highest floor at that time, tsk tsk, then we can bear it now."

Cheng Ye sighed with emotion at this time: "But it was also because of being poor at the time. After all, the higher the floor, the more expensive it is. It seems that sometimes 'poverty' is also a noble quality that can 'save lives' at critical moments... ..."

On the other hand, Qiu Chuyi on the side, although he has been listening with both ears, he never made any answer.He only occasionally smiled at this old friend who "kindly" took him in. That expression seemed to be listening carefully, but also seemed not very interested in what Cheng Ye said.

Soon, the two came to the door of the apartment belonging to Cheng Ye.

After opening the door, the inside of this small apartment was indeed as Cheng Ye said, it was tidy and clean by him.At least Qiu Chuyi, who was obsessed with cleanliness, didn't show any strange expressions on his face when he walked in.

This is a room with a structure similar to that of all commercial houses. The bathroom is on the right side of the entrance, and the living room is in the middle for entertaining. There is a refrigerator next to the TV, and a little further in is the classic combination of a balcony and a kitchen.

After Cheng Ye carefully placed Qiu Chuchu on his back on the only big bed in the bedroom, Qiu Chuyi spoke to him for the first time.

He asked Cheng Ye: "Do you have something like blood pressure measurement here?"

Without saying a word, Cheng Ye turned around and went back to the living room to dig out some things that could be used, and then brought them into the bedroom for Qiu Chuyi to use.

Seeing that the mercury column of the blood pressure measuring instrument had steadily stopped within the normal value range, Cheng Ye was relieved, but Qiu Chuyi was obviously not at ease.

He still frowned tightly, as if he didn't notice the presence of other people in the room, he just lowered his head and continued to check Qiu Chuchu's other function indicators in silence.

At this time, Cheng Ye also retreated out of the bedroom knowingly, leaving all the space for the father and daughter who depended on each other.

He came to the balcony alone, looked out the window at the dark night sky, recalled the experience just now, and suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

In fact, he already wanted to do this.

Whether it was the late summer night when the two unexpectedly met ten years ago; or the moment when the two reunited in his fantasy all the time, and they could recognize each other tacitly when they raised their heads in a crowded crowd.

However, his life will suddenly turn into a comedy.

He thought about it for so long and thought about it in his heart for so many years, but when the two really met again, although they recognized each other immediately, their positions were completely opposite.

There are too many things that they can't ignore - not only for the truth, but also for the justice in their hearts, Cheng Ye must never let go of Qiu Chuyi, who is the most suspected.

But he also needs to be thankful that his life is always more comedies than tragedies, so it seems that God has treated him well.

Now that Jiang Nanxi's murder case has been investigated, he found that this case is by no means as simple as it appears on the surface, and there must be a huge conspiracy hidden behind it... Therefore, even if only Qiu Chuyi himself told him that he was not the real murderer behind the scenes , He is also willing to fight for the one percent authenticity to choose to believe.

It felt like a long time had passed, but when Qiu Chuyi raised his head, he found that the clock on the wall had only ticked half a circle.

After he checked everything and found that all of Chuchu's signs were normal, he covered the little girl with a quilt, gently pressed her plump forehead, and then walked out of the bedroom.

As soon as Qiu Chuyi walked out of the room, she felt that the temperature of the surrounding environment had dropped a lot, and then she looked up and found that the window was opened on the balcony, and Cheng Ye seemed to be standing there to blow air—but at this time of year, the only thing blowing in from the outside was the cold wind .

However, Qiu Chuyi still saw a bright scarlet dot between Cheng Ye's fingers.

After noticing that Qiu Chuyi had also come out of the bedroom, Cheng Ye frantically extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and then decisively threw it out of the window.Probably because he was afraid that his second-hand smoke would be blown into the bedroom by the wind, he stretched out his hand and fanned it quickly, trying to wave the smoke out of the window together.

"Are you okay?" Cheng Ye was busy fanning the smoke, while asking concerned: "Chu Chu's body should not be found to have any problems, right?"

"Ah."

At this time, Qiu Chuyi also happened to walk to the balcony.He chose to stand behind Cheng Ye, and his tall figure seemed to be able to completely cover the 1.8-meter-six police officer. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said to him: "Actually, it doesn't matter. You can smoke if you want."

Before Cheng Ye could respond, Qiu Chuyi stretched out another hand to him, and the edges of his nails were neatly trimmed.He asked politely, "Can I have one?"

Cheng Ye probably didn't expect that Qiu Chuyi would suddenly borrow cigarettes from him, and the expression on his face couldn't help being stunned, but when he came back to his senses, he had already helped Qiu Chuyi light up the cigarette like a pony boy .

A beautifully shaped smoke ring was slowly exhaled from the thin lips in mid-air, and Qiu Chuyi still had a little mist around his nose.

"By the way," his voice still sounded faint, as if it would disappear into the wind at any moment: "Tonight...thank you."

Until now, Cheng Ye still feels dizzy in his head—why does he always listen to Qiu Chuyi thanking him today, and when did Qiu Chuyi learn to smoke?

But he still replied very poorly: "Hey! It's a trivial matter, don't be so polite. I should be embarrassed after you say that..."

Although he took the initiative to accept Qiu Chuyi to take refuge in his house, the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two still seems to have happened yesterday.Anyway, Cheng Ye a few days ago must have never imagined that one day in the future, he would smoke in his house side by side with the suspect he was chasing back then.

Now it seems that those experiences are more like a dream.

An illusory, misty dream.

"Oh, that's right." Cheng Ye suddenly remembered an important event that he almost forgot: "You haven't visited your wound since you entered the house, have you?"

Sure enough, when Cheng Ye looked down, he found that the blood-stained skirt of Qiu Chuyi's abdomen seemed to have solidified with the wound.His delicate and pretty face couldn't help frowning again: "It's all like this, don't rush to deal with it, and you still have the mood to smoke here with me... Are you waiting for them to grow together?"

After finishing speaking, he snatched the cigarette that was still burning in Qiu Chuyi's hand and threw it out of the window neatly: "Go to the bathroom quickly, and I will find you a disposable suture bag!"

After finding the suture bag in the drawer, Cheng Ye directly pushed open the door of the bathroom and gave it to Qiu Chuyi—but he apparently forgot the traditional virtue of knocking on the door before entering and getting permission from others.

So as soon as he went in, he happened to see Qiu Chuyi who was halfway taking off his clothes.

Although the light on the roof of the bathroom was dim, it was bright enough. The beautifully proportioned body was even more dazzling in the silver mirror, and the eyes of the two also met awkwardly in the mirror.

Obviously Qiu Chuyi didn't expect Cheng Ye to push the door in without saying hello.It may have been a long time since he had met such a person. He froze for a moment, still clutching the clothes in his hands, not knowing whether to continue taking them off in front of him or put them back on.

But—thanks to the fact that the person who came in was Cheng Ye.

I saw him staring at the half-covered "beautiful scenery" in the mirror, and there was no special expression on his face, but he whistled loudly at him, as if he happened to come to him in the bath Qiu Chuyi in the bath: "Hey, you have a good figure! You can see that you have been exercising a lot, right? I admire you for being so busy at work and persisting!"

Cheng Ye abruptly turned the awkward scene into a normal one that would be encountered in men's changing rooms in the bathroom.

And Qiu Chuyi has also seen many turbulent characters.

Hearing what Cheng Ye said, he immediately unbuttoned the rest of his shirt with a normal expression, and immediately exposed his perfectly proportioned body to the air.

Naturally, Cheng Ye would not let go of this completely free "beautiful scene" in front of him.

But he stared at the deep and shallow wounds in front of Qiu Chuyi's abdominal muscles, his expression suddenly changed, and he didn't know what he thought of. He pointed to the deepest wound that was also the second tear, Question: "You were cut here with a knife, right?"

Qiu Chuyi had dealt with this type of cracked wound a few days ago, and was already familiar with it.He had just finished disinfecting the wound, when he heard Cheng Ye's question, he just nodded ambiguously: "Yes."

The wound was long and smooth, and did not cause skin peeling or subcutaneous bleeding, so Cheng Ye judged that Qiu Chuyi was injured by a sharp knife—but it was not just a superficial injury, the longitudinal length of the wound was very deep, and it could be seen The man who wielded the knife also used a lot of strength at that time.

If he guessed correctly, that person should have wanted to kill Qiu Chuyi at that time.

"Who are you offending?" Cheng Ye said again: "It seems that Mr. Qiu's family has a great career. I guess there are many people who offend you. Even when you are running away, someone wants to kill you."

But Qiu Chuyi didn't answer this time, he turned a deaf ear to what Cheng Ye said, and just cleaned up the wound without saying a word, as if he didn't feel any pain.Soon, there was only silence in the room around the ears of the two of them.

In fact, even if Qiu Chuyi didn't say anything, Cheng Ye had already made a rough guess in his heart.

The place where Qiu Chuyi was stabbed by the knife was in the liver - that person should have done his homework carefully before committing the crime. The way of death by piercing the heart like in TV dramas is actually not easy to achieve in reality. Instead, the wound was located under the abdominal muscles. The liver, which is not protected by muscles, can kill a person in just a few minutes once it suffers a puncture trauma—but that person should have committed the crime for the first time, so the specific location of the attack was a bit off, and Qiu Chuyi's liver was not really stabbed .

Moreover, another feature of this position is that a man like Cheng Ye who is over 1.8 meters tall has to bend down to poke in the right place, but in this case, the movement is too big, which will arouse the vigilance of the other party;

But for girls with an average height of no more than 1.7 meters, this is the most suitable position to start, because they can easily touch the abdominal muscles of tall people with just a surprise, and it is also where the liver is.

Thinking of this, Cheng Ye no longer intends to continue to ask Qiu Chuyi who hurt him.

But what he didn't expect was that the female high school student named Amber looked quiet on the surface, and she was still smiling at Qiu Chuyi that night——

However, she had such a strong desire to kill Qiu Chuyi in private.
