eighth story

Tang Yu came over with a small pot of strawberries, and saw Tan Yi booking a room online, and originally wanted to tease him, but was startled when he saw the name of the occupant, and said after a while: "...he is coming to A city?"

Tan Yi said: "The text message I just sent me an hour ago said that I have already boarded the plane." As he spoke, he pinched a strawberry from Tang Yu and stuffed it into his mouth, "Tomorrow morning at 09:30, the airport."

Tang Yu was speechless for a while, and then asked: "You...what is he doing here?"

Tan Yi's tone was very cold, and he replied: "How do I know?" He touched his mobile phone and read the payment verification code sent by text message, and paid the hotel's deposit.

Tang Yu looked at him, and asked curiously, "Didn't he book a hotel when he came?"

"Order." Tan Yi said, "I'm showing my kindness to the landlord." Then he glanced at Tang Yu again, pushed the computer aside, sat cross-legged on the bed, patted the position beside him, and signaled Tang Yu to say ,"sit."

Tang Yu sat down, Tan Yi pinched a strawberry from his basin, and said, "He didn't come here specially to see me."

Tang Yu said: "That's also..." The mood towards "that person" is a bit complicated, and it's hard to say anything more.

"Forget it, let's not talk about him." Tan Yi continued, "I heard from Sun Gu when I was in class, your brother came to school today?"

Tang Yu's expression froze, and he said with some displeasure, "Sun Gu's mouth is really fast enough." But he didn't deny the fact that Tang Dao had been to the school.

Tan Yi said: "What is your brother doing at school? Handling cases? What happened again?"

"I don't know." Tang Yu frowned slightly, "I have nothing to say to him." Thinking of what Tang Dao came to him this afternoon to say, "Pay attention to safety recently", I felt even more irritable. Twin brothers, when they are face to face, they are more aware of each other's ambiguous tension.He hated Tang Dao's self-righteousness the most—whether he naturally took over the responsibility of sheltering the family after his father died, or disappeared for three years without saying a word out of professional ethics.Tang Yu will never forget the look in his mother's eyes when she asked herself "why isn't your brother here?" before she died, that was what he couldn't let go of for a long time.

Tan Yi sighed: "He is your only relative in this world."

Tang Yu didn't speak.

Tan Yi said: "Can't you sit down with your brother and have a good talk?"

Tang Yu sneered and said, "Then why don't you sit down with your dad and have a good talk?" His tone was unexpectedly sharp.

Tan Yi was startled, no matter how heartless he was, he couldn't help being stabbed by this sentence.After a while, he lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "I have never had a brother, so I really want to have a brother." While talking, he reached down and stepped on the shoes placed by the bed, and got off the bed after stepping firmly, and said , "My dad is my dad, your brother is your brother, I was wrong for imposing my thoughts on you, I apologize to you, I'm sorry." He picked up his schoolbag and was about to walk towards the entrance go.

Tang Yu regretted the words as soon as she uttered them, and hurriedly grabbed Tan Yi's wrist and said, "Jerry! You know I didn't mean that..."

Tan Yi said quietly: "I don't want to force you. If your brother makes you unhappy, then I will never mention him again."

Tang Yu said: "...Don't do this!" As he said, he grabbed the schoolbag from Tan Yi's hand and threw it back on the chair, feeling that he was really dizzy just now, trying to explain this clearly, "We There's no need to argue because of Tang Dao and your father..."

Tan Yi said, "I didn't quarrel with you."

Tang Yu said: "...Okay, okay, I was the one arguing with you, I'm sorry, I won't mention your dad anymore, okay?"

Tan Yi said: "But my dad will come tomorrow."

Tang Yu felt a little bit stuck at the moment, so he could only change the subject and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this..."

Tan Yi said: "Well, let's not talk about this." He added, "But I have to pick up the plane tomorrow."

Tang Yu said: "Tomorrow morning? Yes, I will help you ask for leave..."

Tan Yi said, "I'll go see him and come back."

Tang Yu agreed, and said, "Since you're going to get up early tomorrow, go to bed early today, or you won't be able to get up in the morning."

Of course Tan Yi wouldn't be angry with him, raised his head and kissed him lightly on the lips, and silently put the subject to rest.However, the two still have their own concerns, and Tan Yi still does not give up the idea of ​​improving the relationship between the Tang Island and Tang Yu brothers. Tang Yu is annoyed at his momentary indiscretion.However, the "family problem" has come to an end, and Pingfan and Xiang Dan are already on their way to Daping.

The earliest train from City A to Daping departs at 10:30 this evening, and the journey takes a total of six hours.Before setting off, Pingfan and Xiang Dan had obtained the information of the deceased Bai Liangxi from Qiao Yuan, and only then did they know that the body sent to the police station was related to the "[-] Case" that had shocked them for a while.Both of them knew that this case was not the responsibility of City A's Municipal Bureau, even if it was intentional revenge, there was no reason to target them, and when they thought that Tang Dao's name was written on the courier slip, they already vaguely understood.

It is inconvenient for Tang Dao's previous undercover identity to be disclosed, so his resume is really a "resume" resume.Looking at the entire Municipal Bureau, except for Xiao Yunhe and Qiao Yuan who are the direct leaders of Tangdao, no one knows his previous identity, and Xiang Dan and Pingfan certainly don't know either.But after the current "express transportation of corpses", and thinking of Tangdao's airborne landing after the end of the "[-] Incident" in [-], the connection is already obvious.

Thinking about it this way, the mood of the two of them can't help but feel heavy, because the other party has added the evil deed of "threatening the personal safety of colleagues who get along with each other day and night" in addition to "challenging the authority of the police station", but it also inspired a bit of high-spirited fighting spirit. , studying this information related to Bai Liangxi overnight.

Bai Liangxi was born in 30 and is 21 years old this year. She was [-] years old when the "[-] case" happened nine years ago. She was one of the mistresses kept by the main criminal Li Hao.Bai Liangxi's family background is very ordinary, her father is a truck driver who runs long-distance freight, and her mother is a physical education teacher in a middle school. Although the family is not well-to-do, it is okay to live an ordinary life.Until Bai Liangxi's freshman year in senior high school, his father had a car accident while he was out running. Both drivers died on the spot, and Bai Liangxi's father was mainly responsible for the accident. The family's misfortune is even worse.Due to helplessness, Bai Liangxi dropped out of high school and started to work outside, and was introduced by a caring person to work as a drinking girl in a so-called "work less and earn more" bar. A year later, she met Li Hao, because she was young, beautiful and very Well-behaved, she soon became one of Li Hao's many mistresses.

Li Hao made his fortune by selling drugs. Although he is suspicious by nature, he is still very generous to women.Bai Liangxi happens to be the type he likes very much—young, beautiful, and well-behaved, not blindly obedient, and occasionally loses some harmless temper. This kind of love-like feeling makes Li Hao feel Very novel.Li Hao likes her, so he is extra generous to her. In addition, Bai Liangxi has never mentioned her family's difficulties in front of him, and she never revealed the meaning of "I'm with you because of money". True love, the reluctance to part when we parted, made Li Hao's machismo explode, and he came to the conclusion that "she really loves me", gradually introduced her as a confidant, and did not shy away from some private occasions, as if It's already the treatment of a real lady.

Li Hao took the initiative to help Bai Liangxi pay off the family's debts, and because Bai Liangxi likes to sing, he paid her to participate in the talent show, passed all the way to the top ten, and made records for her after the competition. You can also find Bai Liangxi's debut single on the Internet.But it happened that Bai Liangxi was developed into a police informant by Tang Dao who was lurking in, and even betrayed Li Hao at the last moment, which eventually caused Li Hao to die of serious injuries.

After the "[-] Case" ended, Bai Liangxi was quickly arrested by the police, but because there was no clear evidence that she was indeed involved in the drug trafficking activities headed by Li Hao, she was prominent in the entire "[-] Case" He performed meritorious service, so in the final sentencing, he was only charged with the crime of money laundering, and sentenced to eight years in prison, which is still in prison.And half a year ago, Bai Liangxi was approved for medical parole due to acute myocardial infarction, and disappeared in the hospital three months later, but because this incident was handled by the H provincial police, Bai Liangxi, a critically ill patient, could not be called a "fugitive". , did not issue a nationwide Internet arrest warrant, so Xiao Yunhe didn't know about it.It wasn't until he took the initiative to contact the H provincial police because of this "case of courier transportation" that he learned the news of Bai Liangxi's disappearance.

Of course, the prison where Bai Liangxi served her sentence was not in Daping, nor was she released on medical parole in Daping's hospital. How could the courier containing her body be picked up by the courier company in Daping?Although Pingfan and Xiangdan didn't expect the identity of the deceased, Bai Liangxi's identity didn't have much impact on their pre-determined investigation direction, which was better than nothing.

Since Bai Liangxi's life circle was not in Daping, the visit to relatives, friends and neighbors of the deceased could be avoided.As for whether Bai Liangxi was dead or alive when he came to Daping, whether he was voluntary or forced, it all depends on the investigation results of the H provincial police.Pingfan felt that the focus of the current investigation should still be on the courier and the Shengli Flour Mill that sent the courier, so he agreed with Xiang Dan to split up, and Xiang Dan continued to investigate the Rufeng Express Company, while he went to investigate the company. Victory Flour Mill, strive to find clues about the murderer as soon as possible.

But because Bai Liangxi's autopsy report has not yet come out, it is somewhat difficult to investigate the cause of death.And the package itself does not have any strong physical evidence - the corpse is naked, the foam box is considered a three-no product (in fact, few people will mark the manufacturer's information on the foam box), although the outer packaging of the ice pack and desiccant has manufacturer information , but the purchase channels are diverse, and there is no way to track them down. The only directional one is the Shengli Flour Mill on the courier list and woven bags.However, just to be on the safe side, Pingfan carefully wrote down all the physical evidence information related to the package before departure.

The train arrived in Daping around [-]:[-] the next morning. Since Qiao Yuan had contacted the local police in advance, everything went smoothly so far.Tan Yi went to the airport by car early in the morning. After arriving, he first checked the flight information, bought a bottle of expensive carbonated drink at the airport, found a seat in the waiting hall, and played with his mobile phone while waiting. Landing.

At 09:30, the plane landed on time without delay.Tan Yi turned the phone around in his hand, looked at the crowd pouring out of the exit with a cold expression, and after a while, he saw a middle-aged man in a dark gray suit walking out with his luggage.Tan Yi stared at him for a while, seeing that the first thing he did after leaving the station was to turn on his phone, so he took out his phone and edited a text message - "I'm at the exit." After sending it, he got up and walked towards the exit .

The mobile phone in the man's hand vibrated, and after reading the text message, he quickly raised his head and looked around. After identifying the location of the exit, he quickly found Tan Yi's back, and hurriedly followed.

Tan Yi walked out of the waiting hall, found a trash can outside and threw away the drink bottle, and when he turned around, he saw Tan Jingyun trotting over with his suitcase, but he didn't leave, and stood there waiting for him.Tan Jingyun finally caught up with him, and the middle-aged man who hadn't exercised for a long time couldn't help feeling a little out of breath, and hurriedly said, "Xiao Yi!"

Tan Yi raised his eyebrows and called, "Dad." Then he continued to walk forward.

Tan Jingyun was finally able to stand side by side with him, and Tan Yi said, "Why did you remember this?"

"On a business trip, I stopped by to see you." Tan Jingyun replied, "You... How are you doing recently?"

Tan Yi said: "I'm fine." Then he said, "I booked a room for you. I don't know how many days you will stay, so I paid a deposit for two days first." Then he sent the hotel address and room number with his mobile phone , "Would you like me to accompany you?"

Tan Jingyun seemed very touched by Tan Yi's act of booking a hotel for him, and hurriedly said: "If you are not busy..."

Tan Yi said: "I took half a day off, and there is still time."

Tan Jingyun sighed: "Xiaoyi..." He didn't know what to say, "Have you contacted your uncle yet?"

Tan Yi said: "No." Then he mocked, "What capacity should I go? Tell my uncle 'Hi, I'm the illegitimate child your younger brother had with a blonde American girl'? Don't be kidding."

Tan Jingyun was very embarrassed, but he couldn't find a reason to refute, so he was a step behind Tan Yi, and sighed again: "Xiao Yi...your mother is married."

Tan Yi said "Oh" and said, "Remember to congratulate her for me." He walked towards the direction of the airport bus.
