"What did you say?"

In the director's office, Ling Tingke's voice obviously increased, and his expression became extremely serious. Even Li Yunxu on the other end of the phone could sense his emotion.

"I said, Cen Zelin was detained as a suspect." Li Yunxu repeated, his tone full of sarcasm: "Ling Tingke, you are getting worse and worse, and you can't even control your own apprentice. If he wants to move, that's fine, he can still be regarded as a suspect, that's fine."

Ling Tingke's face turned ugly in an instant. Secretary Li, who came in to deliver the coffee, looked up and saw the cold face of his immediate boss. He was so frightened that he spilled half of the coffee in his hand, splashing a puddle of coffee-colored water on the ground.

"..." Ling Tingke looked at him expressionlessly.

Secretary Li felt a drop of cold sweat dripping down his forehead, and he quickly cleaned up the mess and fled from the edge of the volcano like a gust of wind, while running, he said, "I, I, I...I'll cook it for you again immediately!"

Within two steps, Yao Peizhou, who was coming towards the director's office, almost bumped into his arms. He quickly rescued the coffee cup that was about to be knocked over, and Yao Peizhou's expensive suit was the only one who survived. .

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Secretary Li hurriedly apologized, and this scene made Yao Peizhou feel familiar.

On that day five years ago, when Ling Tingke asked his secretary to call Tang Yushuang over to apologize for his death, there seemed to be such a plot.Secretary Li, who was almost insane after being yelled at, went out like a gust of wind, bumped into Yao Peizhou at the corner of the corridor, and scattered the melon seed shells in his hand all over the floor.

This feeling of deja vu felt that Yao Peizhou felt very bad, as if something was happening repeatedly, from Shi Xuan in the past to Cen Zelin today, someone was guiding them to the abyss step by step.

Yao Peizhou pushed the door in and ran into Ling Tingke who was about to go out before he could speak. The latter had a serious expression and a rare rush in his voice: "That bastard broke my seal and ran away."

"Where are you going?" Yao Peizhou asked him.

"Go find him." Ling Tingke replied blankly.

"What about the office?" Yao Peizhou asked again.

Ling Tingke walked out and said, "Then I'll leave it to you first, and I'll come back after I catch him."

"Then have you ever thought that this is the other party's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain?" Yao Peizhou stood in place and shouted at his back.

Ling Tingke's footsteps stopped, and he turned his head to look at Yao Peizhou, his expression slightly relaxed.After calming down, Yao Peizhou's words made sense after a little thought. Perhaps what the other party wanted was for Ling Tingke to leave the building of the Special Case Department.

"Qongqi, Miemengniao, Xingtian, Chiyou, and the scale of the candle dragon that you have suppressed, are there any that are not coveted by others?" Yao Peizhou slowly walked to his side, meeting his eyes : "There are far more people in this world who want you, Ling Tingke, to leave this place than you can imagine."

No one would know that Qinglong, the pinnacle of divine power in the world and the head of the Four Sages, actually bought this power that everyone fears at the price of freedom; They all defeated each other by overwhelming advantages.

All the gods said that since Zhulong fell asleep, no one in this world can rival Qinglong.

"I'll go for you." Yao Peizhou said, "I promise to bring Cen Zelin back to you unharmed."

Ling Tingke looked up at him. If someone else said this, he might not believe it, but when this person was Yao Peizhou, his words were full of credibility.They have supported and trusted each other for thousands of years, and they are partners who can completely entrust their backs to each other.

There are only a handful of partners who can make Ling Tingke trust like this, except for Yao Peizhou and Jiang Xun, there is only one Shi Xuan.

"Okay, you go." Ling Tingke took a deep breath to calm down, and he turned back to the Meng Zhang Shenjun who was calm and calm no matter what happened, as if nothing in the world could influence him. mood.

The temperature in this autumn is lower than in previous years, and the temperature in the detention room is even lower than in other places. There are icy walls all around. At night, Cen Zelin feels that the place is overcast and windy. Stand up.

"Hey, it's time, let's eat." The policewoman brought Cen Zelin dinner, and the soup was outrageously watery.

Cen Zelin looked down at the bowl of green pepper fried pork with only three or four slices of meat, the tomato and egg soup that was no different from clear water, and the bowl of rice that had been reheated for countless times. He was completely desperate for the food in the Public Security Bureau who was full of curiosity.

"...Sister, should I just eat this?" Cen Zelin looked at the policewoman pitifully, trying to use his superior appearance to win sympathy, and at least earn himself a KFC meal.

"Otherwise? What to eat?" The female policeman was unmoved as if she was blind, and said lightly while manicuring her nails: "I snatched the shredded pork with green peppers for you, otherwise you can only eat stir-fried Chinese cabbage , let’s be content.”

Cen Zelin curled his lips in dissatisfaction: "This is not for humans to eat at all! I protest! You abused it!"

"Protesting is useless." The policewoman said coldly, "Serial murderers have nothing to protest. You're fine if you're not hungry."

"I really didn't kill people." Cen Zelin retorted.

"Do you still want to eat?" The female policeman glanced at him, her face remained expressionless: "If you don't eat, I'll take it away."

Cen Zelin squatted in the corner and began to draw circles. He found that his face was no longer good enough to confuse women and children aged 80 to [-]. This realization made him extremely uncomfortable.

After all, in the cafeteria of the special case department, he can always take an extra spoonful of pickled fish by virtue of his own advantages.

Cold and hungry, hungry and cold, Cen Zelin looked at the tomato and egg soup in the bowl and began to miss the soup made by the chef at home. It was simmered, thick and dense, even the stewed black-bone chicken with Gastrodia elata that can only be drunk with pinched nose, tastes better than this .

He let out a long sigh, held the bowl and drank the soup in one gulp—at least the bowl was warm.

"Cen Zelin, come out."

Suddenly, the door of the detention room was opened, and the police officer who had previously interrogated Cen Zelin stood at the door, beckoning to him, with a much more friendly expression than when he was interrogating him during the day.

Cen Zelin stood up and walked towards him, with reluctance written all over his face: "What are you doing?"

"Someone came to release you on bail, you can go." The police officer uncuffed him and said with a smile on his face: "Oh, you said that your comrade is a member of the National Security Bureau, so you should say it earlier, and your family will be hurt. There was a fight at the door of the house, it was really flooding the Dragon King Temple, and there was almost a big misunderstanding..."

The police officer changed his cold attitude when he was interrogating him earlier, and took on a completely different face. He led Cen Zelin out while explaining ramblingly, and handed him over to Yao Peizhou in the conference room.

When Cen Zelin saw his boss, his first reaction was to run away, but Yao Peizhou restrained him with an invisible spiritual force, and he couldn't move at all. Yao Peizhou said coldly, "Where else do you want to go?"

"Don't send me back, please." Standing in front of him, Cen Zelin said in a low voice with his head bowed.

Yao Peizhou asked him, "Then what do you want to do?"

Cen Zelin raised his head and looked at him. His eyes met, which surprised Yao Peizhou. This was the first time he saw Cen Zelin like this. He was calm and serious without any edges, and his eyes were burning with flames.

"I want to find Zou Wu and finish everything with my own hands." Cen Zelin said very seriously, the moonlight shone on his face, casting a layer of cold light on him, and his eyes were shining brightly under the light:

"Last night, I saw my brother."

"What did you say?" Yao Peizhou's voice changed obviously. When the two got into the car together, the former's expression became obviously gloomy.He held the steering wheel with one hand, showing his knuckles: "This is impossible, Ze Lin, there are almost no creatures that can escape from Zou Wu, and the fact that Cen Jinlin is dead has already happened thousands of years ago." proved."

Cen Zelin took a deep breath, wiped his face with his hand, and said with firm eyes, "But, I'm really sure that that person is Jin Lin, boss, you must trust me."

"I can trust you, but you must listen to me." Yao Peizhou said to him: "Whether that person is your brother or not, first of all, he is the murderer in this case. We must capture him alive. As for how to deal with it, we can only decide when we bring him back. .”

"I know." Cen Zelin said softly. Looking at the fast-moving street scene outside the window, he narrowed his eyes slightly in the autumn leaves, and took everything into his eyes: "I must stay here, and I must personally Catch him, because Jin Lin shouldn't be like this."

In my memory, the flamboyant and lively young man always had the brightest and most sunny smile, running wildly in the courtyard full of grape vines, and took the opportunity to climb the immature grape trellis to pick grapes. Rolling around in the mother's arms.

Everyone said that Cen Jinlin was the most noisy child in the whole family. He was neither like his calm and courageous father nor his quiet and gentle mother—but he was always a good boy, kind-hearted, simple and true.

Cen Zelin will never forget that one year a caravan from the Central Plains passed by in the desert, lost its way on the way due to the wind and sand, and was almost taken as a meal by the wolf demon who lived in seclusion in the desert.

When the two brothers passed by, they happened to encounter a wolf demon who wanted to eat people, and Cen Jinlin rushed forward without saying a word, no matter how much higher his cultivation level was than himself, grabbing the leader of the wolf demon would just give him a beating.

If the father hadn't arrived in time in the end, I'm afraid the two brothers would have become "desserts".

"Reckless! Charge up without even knowing the situation, how do I teach you all the time!" Father scolded, while helping the stunned Central Plains merchants into the enchantment he set up, blocking them from the wind and sand.

Cen Jinlin curled his lips and said indifferently: "That wolf demon is about to eat this fat man, it will be too late to wait, I will not allow this kind of thing to happen before my eyes!"

"Are you still reasonable?" His father raised his voice a little. He turned his head to look at Cen Zelin who was standing on the other side, and turned his anger on his brother again: "And you! As a brother, why don't you stop him? Sensibility is neither light nor heavy, are you the same as him?!"

"It's my problem, I..."

"He can't stop me." Cen Jinlin interrupted him involuntarily, and said before his father continued to attack: "My brother has always been slower than me, and the elders in the clan say so. Besides, we can't beat him." Don't they still have you?"

"You!" My father stretched out his hand and pinched the corner of Cen Jinlin's bruised mouth, and he didn't let go until the latter screamed in pain: "If I don't arrive today, I'll see you what to do!"

Cen Jinlin chuckled, and there was a bit of slyness in his eyes: "If you are dedicated to goodness and are blessed by God Pangu, you will surely turn dangers into blessings. This is what you taught me."

A master of sophistry, he left Father Cen speechless.

But it is such a person, a person who will draw his sword to help when he sees injustice, and is so kind-hearted that he does not care about personal safety, why did he become what he is now.

Cen Zelin closed his eyes, and the images of last night appeared in his mind.That boy had the same face as Cen Jinlin. Even though his tone of voice and demeanor were quite different from the person in his memory, Cen Zelin could be sure that it was his younger brother.

After experiencing the genocide tragedy, after Cen Jinlin fought hard to push him out, he thought that he had no relatives for a long time.For the last time, the two brothers only had time to look at each other hastily, and each other's appearance was reflected in the same different-colored pupils.

Cen Jinlin said to him: "Brother, if you survive, you are the last hope."

Cen Zelin thought countless times, if they had made an exchange back then, and the one who was rescued by Ling Tingke and lived safely to this day was Jin Lin, after all, he, the older brother, had never really taken good care of his younger brother.

Because from the moment they were born, the lives of the two brothers were endowed with completely different meanings.
