never forget [criminal investigation]

Things were going smoothly, and Xing Yue was in a good mood when he left Professor Zhong's house in the afternoon.

And almost at the same time, Jiang Yuan's WeChat also arrived, with only two words: "It's done".

He breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately booked a ticket back to Dongjiang in the evening, and then found a restaurant to sit and chat with Hu Guangyu while eating.

"How is Xiang Hai recently? Are you okay?" Hu Guangyu asked.

"Well, it's good." Xing Yue smiled, "He is very grateful to you, and he admires you. He said that you are the first doctor he has seen with his own eyes."

"Hey..." Hu Guangyu shook his head with a smile, took a bite of food, and suddenly said with emotion, "Xing Yue, I didn't expect you to control your appearance so well."

"What's wrong with me?" Xing Yue was a little confused by what he said.

"No wonder I haven't seen you looking for a partner in school for so many years." Hu Guangyu raised his eyebrows, "How dare our classmates not meet the standard of appearance?"

"..." Xing Yue was stunned for a moment, "Fuck, where did you go? It's just a matter of disappearing." He never felt that he was a face-controlling person, "I am such a person with no connotation. Is it?"

Hu Guangyu snorted, then squinted at him again, "Stop pretending. Do you dare to say that you like Xiang Hai not because of his good looks?"

"In other words, if he looked sorry, would you like him?"

This question is... so fucking sharp.

Xing Yue fell into deep thought with his chopsticks in his mouth.

But soon, the meditation ended again.

"Let me tell you this..." He looked serious, but there was an uncontrollable smile on the corner of his lips, "If he's sloppy from the beginning, we definitely won't be able to get together."

"But if he suddenly becomes ugly now, even if he is disfigured, we will never separate."

"Fuck me." Hu Guangyu shivered solidly, and was covered in goose bumps from the sour smell of love.

He put down his chopsticks, feeling full in his heart.

When the two of them came out of the restaurant, it was already the beginning of the lights.The sky was half-light and half-dark, glowing with faint blue.

"It's almost time, let's take you to the airport." Hu Guangyu greeted Xing Yue to get into the car.

On the way, he did not forget to tell him, "That case is deeply involved, you should be more careful when you go back."

"En." Xing Yue nodded.

"If there is any news from Professor Zhong, I will contact you as soon as possible."

"Anything else that needs my help, just let me know."

"Okay." Xing Yue smiled at him, "Thank you, Lao Hu!"

He also turned his head to look at Xing Yue.

At this moment, his brain was suddenly engulfed by an indescribable emotion.

In a few hours, the plane will take Xing Yue to a completely strange world.It's cold, cruel, and dangerous.

But I still continue to live comfortably in this world lit up by thousands of lights.There will be troubles and complaints of one kind or another, but none of it has anything to do with life or death.

But Xing Yue was originally from the same world as him.Just like those years in college, they were good brothers in the house; like a few minutes ago, they were sitting together eating and chatting.

Just because two people chose their own lives.And life places upon them very different responsibilities.

No one is more important than whose responsibility, and no one forces them to make such a choice.

But some responsibilities have to be borne by someone, and not everyone is willing to make that choice.

"Xing Yue," he stretched out a hand, "I wish you good luck."

Xing Yue also smiled and stretched out his hand to hold him together.

Unknowingly, this year has entered the countdown, and the whole December seems to be warming up for various festivals that get together.

The car passed a lively business district, and a huge Christmas tree stood on the square, like a cluster of eternal fireworks, which flashed past the car window accompanied by cheerful music.

Xing Yue's side face was lit up by the colorfulness at that moment.

"It's almost Christmas?" he belatedly sighed.

"Yeah, it's coming soon." Hu Guangyu was also feeling emotional, "The New Year is coming soon."

For things like festivals, whether they are local or foreign, Xing Yue has never had any special feelings, let alone expectations.

Not to mention that it is usually their busiest time, even if they are idle, there is nothing to celebrate when they are alone.

Perhaps it was because the festive atmosphere in the air was too high. At that moment just now, he suddenly had a hallucination.

It seems to hear the most famous church in Dongjiang ringing the New Year's bell.

Then he remembered the photo left by Xing Yiqing.

On the square in front of that church, Xing Yiqing and Song Xiao---his father and mother, used to embrace each other there, smiling so happily.

So, an idea popped up.

When the New Year's bell rings, take his beloved and stand at the place where the love of the two people who gave him life began, celebrate the arrival of the New Year with him, and say "Happy New Year" to him.

Thinking of this, he immediately took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Xiang Hai.Tell him you're on your way to the airport and you'll be home by 10pm.

Soon, Xiang Hai came back with an emoji of a cheering big frog.

Xing Yue raised the corner of his mouth and put the phone back in his pocket.

The silver wings streaked across the night sky, and the plane rarely landed at Dongjiang Airport on time.

Xing Yue had no luggage. When the door opened, he put on his coat, picked up his backpack and got off the plane.

As the bustling stream of people passed through the exit, he looked down at his phone while walking, planning to make an appointment for a car to go home.

While watching, Xiang Hai's number suddenly popped up on the screen, and he quickly pressed the answer button.

"Hey, kid, why are you alone?" A familiar voice came from the receiver, as if trying to suppress a smile, "Come here, let the police uncle take you home?"

"...fuck." Xing Yue immediately looked around, "Taking advantage of me, where are you?"

"I'm in your heart." Xiang Hai finally laughed on the other end of the phone.

Almost at the same time, Xing Yue also saw him.In a corner away from the airport pick-up crowd, the tall, thin figure, wearing a baseball cap with the brim pressed down, was waving at him.

Xing Yue immediately ran towards him.

"How did you come?"

"Come to pick you up." Xiang Hai raised his face and pushed up the brim of his hat.

"how did it get here?"

"Let's drive."

"Can you drive with that hand?" Xing Yue looked at him, resisting the urge to hug him.

"Isn't it good to have eight fingers?" Xiang Hai said, reaching into the hat of his coat, and as if by magic, he took out a small bouquet of flowers.

"For you." Xiang Hai looked at him, "Congratulations on your triumphant return." If there were not so many people here, he really wanted to pounce on him and give Xing Yue a big kiss.

"Thank you."

This bouquet was so cute, Xing Yue sniffed it close to his nose, "This is the first bouquet I received in my life. I will frame it when I go back and hang it on the wall."

"Okay, brother, I received the hint." Xiang Hai smiled and took his hand, "Go home."

The two held hands, grabbed each other's palms all the way, and returned to the car.

The moment the car door closed, Xing Yue was pulled over by an eager force.

Xiang Hai's kiss was warm and long, and the person almost climbed onto him following this kiss.

After finally separating, half of the window was already covered with a thin layer of water vapor.

Xing Yue licked his sore lips, then lowered his eyes to look again, "Can you hold on until you go home?"

"Almost." Panting, Xiang Hai returned to the seat and pulled the seat belt, "Brother, I think I can finish next week's target ahead of schedule today."

These words made Xing Yue react for a few seconds before persuading him, "It's better to say goodbye, your hands are like that..."

"No delay, no need to use your hands..." Xiang Hai felt that his skin had thickened visibly with the naked eye.

"I found you, you're a limp and a limp." Xing Yue summed up in a timely manner, but his eyes were full of admiration.

Xiang Hai laughed, "What about you? What kind of color are you?"

"Of course I'm being blatant." Xing Yue fastened his seat belt and started the car.

The car drove out of the parking lot and merged into the same direction of traffic.

"Brother, is your trip going well?" Xiang Hai looked at him and asked.

He didn't know why Xing Yue went to Beijing suddenly, and he didn't know how to inquire, he just wanted to know if everything was going well for him.

"Well, it went well." Xing Yue agreed, "Hey, by the way, the person surnamed Zhao hasn't harassed you these two days, right?"

"No, it's very quiet, no one is looking for me. I've been staying at home obediently."

"By the way, brother, do you know the background of that Zhao Ting?"

Up to now, Xiang Hai only knows that he is Zhao Lang's younger brother, but he is still at a loss as to what role this person plays in the Zhao Lang Group.

Xing Yue sorted through a bunch of information in his mind, filtered out the parts related to Yuan Guoping, and introduced the useful ones to Xiang Hai, "Zhao Ting is Zhao Lang's half brother, and there is a big age difference between them. "

"He had been abroad before, but he came back suddenly two years ago. It seems that he came here for Zhao Lang's business. No one named him, so he became the second boss."

Xing Yue sneered, "This can be regarded as offending Zhao Lang and Zhao Wenyu together."

"However, Zhao Lang didn't break up with him after all, and even divided some deals for him. But none of them involved their core business, that is, looking at the venue and collecting rent."

"Zhao Ting is a very scheming person, with a high spirit, and he always holds back his energy and wants to do something big."

Xing Yue shook his head slightly, "But he has no foundation, and he has no hands, and he is watched by Zhao Lang and his father, and he hasn't made any splashes until now."

"But he's rich."

"It is said that his father left it to him. Later, he didn't know what method he used to make a lot of money."

"Since you are so rich, why do you still want to get involved in Zhao Lang's business?" Xiang Hai expressed his incomprehension.

Xing Yue snorted again, "What kind of business can get money faster than drug trafficking?"

Xiang Hai frowned, remembering what Cai Quan said to him during his induction training.

"Then do you think he can succeed?"

"Nothing!" Xing Yue curled his lips, "Unless Zhao Lang is dead."

Xiang Hai nodded slowly and did not speak again.

He is thinking about a problem.

Soon, his eyes lit up, "Brother, I know why Zhao Ting came to me!"

Xing Yue tilted his head and raised his eyebrows.

"Think about it, it turns out that Zhao Lang buys goods from the south, and those channels are all in his own hands, and Zhao Ting will never get in."

"Now that Zhao Lang produces and sells himself, those channels no longer exist, and Zhao Ting's opportunity has come. So he definitely wants to directly intervene in the pharmaceutical factory now."

"But it's full of Zhao Lang's people there, and the needles can't get in, and the water can't get in. Whenever he makes any movements, Zhao Lang can hear the movement immediately."

"Only me, the newcomer, is a small character with no roots and no support."

The more Xiang Hai talked, the more excited he became, "Who is it like me to hang out with? Follow Zhao Lang, and after 100 years of hanging out, you will be an unknown horse boy. Follow him, and you will have a good chance to become a big brother."

"Winning me over is much easier than poaching Zhao Lang's corner. There is no risk or cost."

"Besides, I have worked in the pharmaceutical factory for so long, and I know everything about each link, and I cheated a policeman so awesomely."

He smiled and scratched Xing Yue's chin, "So, I am simply a compound talent with all-round development of morality, intelligence and physique!"

Xing Yue frowned and avoided the groping hand, "Why are you so excited?"

"I plan to go find him tomorrow!"

"Are you sick?" Xing Yue immediately stared.

"Brother, now is the best opportunity, and Zhao Ting also said that day, let me go to that club to find him in two days." Xiang Hai explained patiently.

"I didn't understand what he was thinking before, so I was a little confused. Now that I know what he wants, I know how to deal with it."

Judging from the current situation, he is the best and only candidate for Zhao Ting.

Zhao Ting needs a reliable pawn, and he needs a thick leg rich in gold.The two have their own plans, and they happen to be able to satisfy each other.

"And don't you tell me, Zhao Ting won't find out that I'm a policeman."

He trusted Xing Yue.

Xing Yue said don't worry, he won't worry.

As long as this worry is gone, he is confident that he will be able to find a breakthrough in Zhao Ting.

The car stopped in front of the signal light, Xing Yue took out a cigarette and lit it, smoking silently.

For Xiang Hai's decision, he can neither agree nor have the right to refute.Because that's not his choice.

To be precise, whether it is Xiang Hai or himself, there is no room for choice.

Seeing that he was silent, Xiang Hai turned around again and rubbed his arm, "Brother, actually we have to thank this Zhao Ting."

"Now the pharmaceutical factory is a pool of stagnant water. If no one comes to disturb it, there will never be a storm."

"Only by muddying the water can you have a chance to catch big fish, isn't it?"

Xing Yue turned to look at him, and found that pair of amber eyes were shining.

Yes, the impenetrable city defenses have always been breached from the inside.Just like the foolproof undercover operation deployed by Jiang Yuan, it was finally destroyed by his own people.

However, can the person who set off the storm be alone in the center of the storm?

"Brother, trust me." Xiang Hai blinked, "I can do it."

At the end of the day, Yuan Guoping was on pins and needles.

After finally finishing the report meeting, he didn't want to stay for a minute longer, so he went home distraught.

Sitting on the large sofa at home, he smoked one cigarette after another, analyzing Jiang Yuan's words over and over again in his mind.

Today's unexpected "harvest" made him extremely shocked, and at the same time, he felt scared from the bottom of his heart.

It's not that he didn't doubt Jiang Yuan.

But first of all, Jiang Yuan would never dare to tell such a meaningless lie in front of the most authoritative leaders in the system on an occasion like today.It does him no good at all.

Moreover, this topic was brought up by himself, and Jiang Yuan didn't mention it at all in his report.

Secondly, it is the so-called "No. [-] person" that makes the whole thing more credible.

Because that "Number Two" is a neurotic with unpredictable behavior, a bomb from time to time.

Thinking of Zhao Ting, Yuan Guoping depressedly put out the cigarette he had only taken two puffs of, then pulled out another one and lit it.

He and Zhao Lang are old friends and have only dealt with Zhao Ting a few times.But every time it can make him feel a little bit worse about this person.

The man is young, tough, and ambitious.I don't know if it's because studying abroad has spoiled my brain, and when I came back, I took it for granted, thinking that at least half of Zhao Lang's business should belong to him.

The reason is that Zhao Lang's original capital for his fortune was given by his father, and his father's money was earned together with his own mother, and had nothing to do with Zhao Lang's own mother.

Hmph, isn't this sick?As soon as the upper and lower lips touch, you will take it by force?

You've been here for so many years, is Zhao Lang comfortable selling sugar to make money?

Doing head-scratching business, supporting so many people under his hands, and managing such complicated relationships up and down.If you say half of you, you will get half of it?

Besides, even if I give it to you, it's up to you, can you play around?

Ordinarily these are Zhao Lang's family affairs, they have nothing to do with him, and it's not his turn to worry about them.

But today, when he learned that Zhao Ting's little bastard had hooked up with the police, he couldn't sit still.

This move of borrowing a knife to kill people is too cruel and too damaging.

Relying on the fact that he has no stains on himself, he cooperates with the police under the banner of "Second Boss".When the police put Zhao Lang and Zhao Wenyu together, he transformed himself into a legitimate big boss.

At that time, use the drug network that Zhao Lang has already built to make a comeback.

Oh shit.

Just thinking about it, Yuan Guoping felt dark in front of his eyes.Fortunately, this news got out of Jiang Yuan's mouth today.

Everything about him was given by Zhao Lang.Money, status, power.

If Zhao Lang was the first to be unlucky, then it would be his turn to be the second.

He didn't dare to imagine what he would look like if he lost this glamorous shell, just thinking about the scene when those policemen learned that he had betrayed Lin Sheng... made him shudder.

The cigarette caught between his fingers was burning silently, and a long piece of soot fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Yuan Guoping opened the photo sent by Zhao Ting in his mobile phone expressionlessly.

Chan Le...

He stared at the young face on the screen.

This kid... looks very pretty, as for whether he is a policeman...

He snorted coldly.

Even now Zhao Ting still plays this little trick.Here you have a heated fight with the police, but you turned your head and asked yourself to investigate if someone else was an undercover agent?

What is his idea?Trying to cover up?smoke bomb?Or is he using himself to stir up the muddy water and confuse Zhao Lang?

Thinking of this, Yuan Guoping frowned suddenly.

Damn it, this kid wants to play with the golden cicada to escape his shell!

Whether this Qian Le is an undercover agent or not, he will be Zhao Ting's scapegoat in the future.In other words, even if there is no Qian Le, there will be Sun Le, Li Le.

At that time, as long as all the crimes are pushed on the undercover, in front of Zhao Lang's younger brother, he will be a clean and innocent big boss.

If I tell him that Qian Le is an undercover agent now, I'm afraid it will only arouse his vigilance in advance.

After all, Qian Le is just a stone to explore the way, and Zhao Ting knows better than anyone else whether he is an undercover agent or not.

The dynasty is about to change, and I, Zhao Lang's old department, should follow suit.What's more, Zhao Ting didn't take him seriously from the beginning, as if he never took him seriously.

So, calling a person who is not an undercover agent an undercover agent, what is your heart, Yuan Guoping?

But what if he said that Qian Le is not a policeman?

That's even easier.What is your plan, Yuan Guoping, to leave such a blatant undercover agent without reporting it?Zhao Lang gave you so much money, did he invite you to watch the excitement?

Thinking deeper, if I really lost touch with Qian Le recklessly, if I rushed to Jiang Yuan's current vigor, it was hard to guarantee that I would not follow the vine and suspect myself.

By then...

Thinking of this, Yuan Guoping crushed the remaining cigarette butts with his bare hands and threw them on the ground.

It seems that I really underestimated that little bastard Zhao Ting.

Since you want to kill them all, I, Yuan Guoping, will never sit still.

With a sullen face, he stood up and paced back and forth, going over the whole thing a few more times.

Finally picked up the phone, found Zhao Lang's number, and dialed it.
