It was already midnight when the meeting ended, and the superior left Jin Xu alone to say a few words before letting him go to rest, and he didn't bother to go back, so he made do with sleep in the office.

Just before dawn, he was woken up by a phone call. The caller was Gu Feigu, the instructor of the Criminal Investigation Corps of the Provincial Department.After the meeting last night, the superiors told Jin Xu that this is already a criminal murder case, and it must be jointly investigated with the criminal investigation.

"..." Jin Xu was dissatisfied, but he still answered the phone, and said without deviating from his old acquaintance, "Didn't I ask you to handle Chang Yagang's case? Can you change someone?" The name of the deceased who was stabbed to death outside was Chang Yagang.

Instructor Gu is very good at political work, but he is not bad at criminal investigation, but he has many and complicated thoughts, and Jin Xu has always been annoyed by him.

"Do you have any objections to me?" Gu Fei was not angry, and said with a smile, "You are looking for me. When I heard that you are in charge of the National Security Bureau, why should I do it again? I can send you a deputy."

In terms of procedure, there must be a criminal investigator, otherwise the work will not be convenient to carry out.And the superior made it clear that it is still necessary to downplay the presence of the national security department in the case. After all, other lines in the whole case except Chang Yagang are still going on normally, so it is not appropriate to startle the snake.

Jin Xu said: "Okay, when you get to work, tell him to come directly to my office."

Gu Fei was relatively reliable in terms of personnel arrangements, so Jin Xu didn't ask him what kind of deputy he was going to send, and he still had some trust in Gu Fei.

Before seven o'clock, Jin Xu slept with his head covered for more than half an hour, woke up at half past seven, reached for his phone, and dialed a video for Shang Yang while lying down.

As he expected, Shang Yang was having breakfast, and after picking it up, he showed a smiling face to the phone camera, with jet-black hair and black pupils, and his freshly washed face felt wet through the phone screen.

The swear words in Jin Xu's mind were like a barrage of bullets, drifting by.

"Look at what I'm eating today." Shang Yang smiled and moved the camera down to the dining table, showing Jin Xu his breakfast, which consisted of oatmeal soaked in milk, fried eggs and intestines.

With a startled expression, Jin Xu said, "Why are you so powerful today? Normally, if you turn on a gas stove, I'm afraid you won't be able to turn it on."

"Nonsense, do you think I'm an idiot?" Shang Yang moved the phone camera back to face himself, and said, "I'll take advantage of these two days to practice my hands, and when I go to your place, try to make you breakfast, don't be ignorant .”

Jin Xu laughed and said with a pun: "I want to eat now, I'm hungry."

Looking at his background, Shang Yang guessed that he spent the night in the office, and asked, "Why didn't you go back last night? Did you have something to do last night?"

"A little thing." Jin Xu looked at the phone screen and said, "When I get busy, I miss you even more. If I don't have you to think about, what should I do?"

Shang Yang said with a smile: "Don't be like a child, I will go to see you tomorrow night. Get up and have something to eat, everyone will go to work later, let your subordinates see you like this, what you look like."

Jin Xu said indifferently: "I don't live with my subordinates, it's enough for the leader to love me. Say you love me while no one is around."

The two chatted a few words of love in the air. Officer Jin got up after listening to the leader's words, and went to the unit cafeteria to have breakfast. The leader had to hurry up and go to work.

The day passed quickly, and in the evening after work, Shang Yang went home, packed up Elizabeth, her toys and snacks, and packed the puppy to her parents' house.

"Are you going on a business trip?" Mother Shang asked her son while playing with the dog, "Didn't it mean that the focus of work has shifted this year? Don't you have to go to the grassroots all the time?"

After the last internal participation meeting, Shang Yang's work direction has been adjusted. Overall, it should be a common trend before promotion.

But when his mother asked this question, he was a little embarrassed. He looked at his mother, and then glanced at his father who was watching the news broadcast. He seemed to have no interest in him or Elizabeth. Then he lowered his volume and told his mother: " It's not a business trip, I'm going... to go to the northwest."

Shang's mother smiled at him, a little teasing him.This made him even more embarrassed.

"How long has Xiao Jin been away?" Father Shang suddenly asked, "Has it been half a month?"

Shang Yang didn't know why he wanted to care about this all of a sudden, so he had to answer honestly: "It's not half a month, today is the tenth day."

Father Shang said: "Is there anything he needs you to help with? Or is there a reason why you have to go?"

Shang Yang: "..."

"What are you doing?" Mother Shang said, "What does it have to do with you? I'm in charge."

Dad Shang said: "Aren't air tickets and train tickets free? Doesn't it delay work? It's nothing, what are you going to do?"

"You old man..." Shang's mother wanted to say something more, she wanted to fight for the young people, but Shang Yang didn't let her continue, but he replied by himself: "I normally take weekends and weekends, and it won't affect my work. I bought economy class, and I don’t go there often.”

Father Shang's face was full of frost, and he said, "Is this the point?"

Shang Yang said: "I will answer whatever you ask, I don't know what is the point."

"Speak less, both of you." Mom smoothed things over.

"Don't interrupt." Dad Shang just stared at Shang Yang, and said, "In the first half a year, he told us that Xiao Jin came to study, did he come to study? He was not on the original list of this training class! You said You two...don't do business all day long!"

Shang Yang: "..."

He didn't know what his father suddenly lost his temper at first, but now he understood, he must have heard about it somewhere, the essence and purpose of Jin Xu's "training" was to take half a year's vacation.

"It's not about studying," Shang's mother said to her father. "Isn't it a serious matter to study in a research institute? You haven't wasted your time. Usually, you always say that Xiao Jin is a good boy and a good seedling? Don't do it to your face. ,speak nicely."

Father Shang sarcastically said: "He is a good seedling, your son is so annoying, he is not dating your son, and he was not like this before. I met your good son, and my mind is full of love. How much energy can I save for work? Come on? I have been with your son for half a year, and I have become a waste, otherwise why did I fall into a big fall as soon as I went back!"

Mother Shang and Shang Yang were taken aback at the same time.Shang Yang said: "What do you mean? What happened to him?"

Father Shang glared at him again, and said, "Are you going to the northwest by yourself, or did he tell you to go?"

"I can't tell you that." Shang Yang was eager to know what happened, and said, "Where did you hear about it? What happened to him?"

Father Shang said coldly: "I don't know, don't ask if you shouldn't ask, don't you understand the confidentiality regulations?"

"..." Shang Yang was so angry that his fingers trembled secretly, and said: "I understand, and he understands, so I don't know anything, and he won't tell me at all. Is the confidentiality regulation invalid for you? You don't care about the national security. How can I hear about it?"

"You still have the face to say..." Father Shang didn't continue, his face was full of anger.

Shang Yang understood that Jin Xu spent the Spring Festival at his house, and many people in the compound knew about it. It was not surprising that someone in the know would specifically disclose Jin Xu's affairs to his father.It is very likely that he just said "something happened", and his father may not know exactly what happened or the details.

The father and son stared at each other, dissatisfied with each other.

The more Shang Yang thought about what his father said, the more uncomfortable he felt. He couldn't help but said: "You think I'm holding him back, do you mean that? You used to object to my dating him, but now you think he shouldn't find me , you think I'm not good enough for him, do you mean that?"

Father Shang said: "Don't change the concept secretly, I didn't let you two break up, what I'm talking about is your attitude towards life..."

"I can live as I want, and I have this attitude." Shang Yang said coldly, "Don't look for so many famous people, you just don't like me, if there is a chance to do it again, you don't want me like this son... I don't need a father like you."

Father Shang looked at him angrily, and said, "What kind of childish temper are you playing? You are in your 30s, and you have been working for almost ten years. How many years did you go to the police academy when you were a teenager?"

During the years of studying in the police academy, Shang Yang was so rebellious that half of the system knew that his father had a disobedient son, who was "forced" to change his choice to go to the public university, and he was unwilling to go home, and he did not talk to his father.

"If I'm still a police student, how dare I talk to you like that? You can't beat me up?" Shang Yang said something with a bit of yin and yang, but he was not happy at all, and said, "...It's not like I didn't smoke Pass."

The house suddenly became quiet, except for the voice of the news anchor on the TV.Elizabeth sensed the atmosphere with keen eyesight, and curled up at her mother's feet with her tail between her legs.

Shang Yang didn't want to quarrel with his father, he said, "I still have something to do, so I'll go back first."

He turned to go out, his mother sent him out, and whispered at the elevator entrance: "Your father is like this, he is obviously worried about Xiao Jin, and he can't speak well."

"I know." Shang Yang said, "Go back quickly, I'll come back next week when I'm not busy."

Mother Shang said, "Are you okay?"

Shang Yang said with a relaxed face: "It's nothing, what can be the matter? It's not the first time I've argued with him."

After going downstairs, he stood in the yard and didn't rush to leave. He took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Jin Xu, asking: Are you busy?

Jin Xu replied: I'm having dinner.

Shang Yang asked again: Do you work overtime at night?

Jin Xu: Plus, there will be some small things in a while.

He knew that Shang Yang was going to see Elizabeth off today, so he asked: Did you deliver it?Do you want to have dinner with your uncle and aunt?

Shang Yang said: No.

Jin Xu: What's wrong?

Shang Yang hesitated for a while, and said: I don’t like food cooked at home, I want to go out to eat something else.

Jin Xu made a smiling face, and said: Once you leave, uncle will speak ill of you behind your back, picky eaters, and coquettish.

Shang Yang thought to himself, you know again, you are like his own son.But of course he didn't say that, but said: Are you busy?Is there still time to spend the weekend with me?

Jin-wook didn’t reply him right away.So he understood that his father wasn't talking nonsense, and that Jin Xu was in trouble.

There are many jobs in the national security that cannot be asked. Holding the mobile phone, he didn't know what to say. He was worried about Jin Xu and disappointed at the same time.Why don't you go tomorrow, and don't delay Jin Xu's busy work.

Jin Xu's reply also arrived: It's a bit of a sudden job, maybe I don't have time to play with you, otherwise you decide for yourself, I can't tell you not to come, I'm already heartbroken.

Shang Yang: "..."

Sitting in the police car, Jin Xu ate a half-cold old Beijing chicken roll that he had bought at five o’clock but hadn’t eaten yet. He finished posting the message in frustration and frustration, and finished the chicken roll in two or three bites. , Twist another bottle of water to drink.

He was the only one in the car. The national security team members and criminal detectives who came with him went to the school to find the teacher of the deceased’s son to inquire about the situation. During the day, he visited the deceased’s unit and the deceased’s house. A cloud of fog.

The sky here is brighter than Shang Yang's, and it's not completely dark.Not far away is the scene of the crime last night, surrounded by a cordon, and there are still white strokes of human figures on the ground inside.The small vendors have gone to other places to make a living today, and this section of the road is very deserted.

Some students wearing school uniforms came out of the school gate. When they saw the cordon and the police car parked next to them, the timid ones walked around the other side. There were also some brave boys who came forward on purpose. wait and see.

A tall boy with a hedgehog head was leading two other shorter boys. The tall boy pointed in this direction. The other two boys showed embarrassment and were about to be kicked by the tall guy. As if being "sent" over to check on the situation, the two boys shy away from getting too close.And the tall boy stood on the steps, waiting impatiently for the servant to come back, and looked at Jin Xu, the police car from time to time, as if he was a little nervous and uncomfortable with the police appearing here.

Farther away from the school gate, there was a man and a woman who had been standing there for 5 minutes. They seemed to be talking, but they were looking at something from the corner of their eyes.

Everything around fell into Jin Xu's eagle-like eyes.

And his phone buzzed, and a new message came in. When he turned to look at it, his eyes changed in a second.

Shang Yang: Don't accompany me, can I see you?It's not in vain if I can, otherwise I will be heartbroken.
