No such person [criminal investigation]

In the KTV, Xu Ci sat on the sofa inside the house without moving, and Qi Zang stood in the corridor outside the house without moving.

The two sat and stood like sculptures, just looking at each other through the lights full of ambiguous colors, and their expressions seemed to be secretive.

It was Bai Xue who broke the silence first.

She skillfully held Xu Ci's hand even harder, tilted her head, leaned on his shoulder, and said to Qi Zang: "Brother policeman, I misunderstood! We are normal boyfriend and girlfriend! It's not illegal to fall in love. Let's do it!"

Qi Zang stepped into the room, and when he looked at Bai Xue, his eyebrows were cold, and his body was filled with evil spirits. Before he could say anything, an old song playing on the big screen sang the line: "How can I bear to blame you?" I made a mistake, I gave you too much freedom, made you too lonely, and fell into the emotional vortex—”

Qi Zang: "..."

Xu Ci: "..."

The air in the box seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.

The second person to break the silence was Li Hongyu.

He came out from the next door with a man handcuffed, saw Qi Zang standing motionless at the door of 301, and patted him on the shoulder. "I caught him right away. Good guy, I can't wait to get out, and I'm just in the box...cough, what's the matter with you?"

Qi Zang didn't answer, just staring at Xu Ci in the box.

Following him with a law enforcement recorder is Li Hongyu's subordinate.

His subordinate, Monk Zhang Er, was puzzled, scratched his head, and was about to answer Li Hongyu's question, when the man handcuffed by Li Hongyu glanced into the box, and then opened his mouth to spray: "Bai Xue? You stinky bastard, When I ordered you, they said you were sick. Why are you still picking up customers when you are sick? What? Lied to me by being next to a pretty boy? How much I spent on you, you can tell me yourself! I have never seen you so bad Conscience!!!”

Bai Xue: "..."

Xu Ci and Qi Zang: "..."

·

Two hours later, the anti-vice brigade of the Municipal Bureau.

Qi Zang took the initiative to take over the interrogation work related to Xu Ci.

For this reason, Li Hongyu said sincerely: "Hey, sacrifice your rest time, take the initiative to work overtime to support me here, love love love love. Team Qi, I'm going to cry!"

Then he got a vicious "roll the calf".

After Qi Zang brought Li Zhengzheng into the interrogation room, Li Hongyu gave Bai Shuwei a look. "Why does he seem to be getting more angry?"

Bai Shuwei thought deeply for a while, opened her eyes wide, as if she had suddenly realized something, and said, "Just now I was in charge of bringing a few girls back. Among them is Bai Xue, who is very beautiful, with delicate features like a doll. Boss Ben had a dark face, but when he saw her...he had an evil look on his face! He looked like a living king. Hiss... Could it be that Bai Xue was his first love, or the object of his secret love? It's over, the boss's head is green grassland……"

"I'm going, this is crazy." Li Hongyu "tsk tsk" twice, and wiped Bai Shuwei's neck, meaning that they should be careful not to be silenced by Qi Zang.

·

In the interrogation.

The camera is turned on, Li Zhengzheng is recording, and Qi Zang is in charge of the interrogation.

"Name?"

"Thank you bridge."

"age?"

"35."

"Profession?"

"Director of Internal Control Center of Qingfeng Group."

"Why did you appear in the drunken KTV302 today?"

"Sing."

"one person?"

"And Bai Xue."

"Who is Bai Xue to you?"

"I don't know her well."

"Unfamiliar with singing together?"

"Won't you be familiar with singing and singing?"

"........."

Li Zhengzheng never expected that "Xie Qiao" would answer like this, and felt a little funny for a while, Qi Zang beside him immediately slapped the table, and he quickly put on a serious face.

Then I heard Qi Zang speak in a rather stern voice: "So you deny it, you are going to..."

After a long silence, Qi Zang still used that word: "You deny that you are going whoring."

Xu Ci: "Deny."

Qi Zang: "The third floor of Fascinated KTV is not open to the public. It is a model where one guest introduces the next. This is one of the reasons why it has not been caught by the anti-pornography team. Then tell me, why you can go there the third floor?"

Xu Ci responded calmly. "Well, I was able to go there because someone else introduced me."

Veins popped out on Qi Zang's forehead. "So Mr. Xie is—"

"A client introduced me to a good place to relax. I went there only to find out that it was... that kind of place. He didn't explain it clearly to me before, so there was a misunderstanding."

Xu Ci said, "But since it's here, it's safe. I'll just drink there, listen to people singing, and spend a simple weekend."

Qi Zang: "..."

——Is this how it is used when it comes?

Xu Ci: "You saw it too, I didn't do anything."

Qi Zang wondered why he didn't do anything?I've seen people take your arm, and you even ordered expensive wine to help the girl earn a commission.If it weren't for very few customers ordering that wine, and they need to drop the stock from downstairs, I might not have found the problem...

Countless OSes slipped through his heart, and Qi Zang heard Xu Ci ask again: "Or what do you want me to do?"

Qi Zang: "..."

Is he being provocative by saying this?

Why does it feel like he is angry instead?

Frowning, Qi Zang continued to ask: "So, after going there, I found out that it was that kind of place, and you didn't leave, just stayed there...Why? Made friends with a girl?"

Xu Ci was expressionless: "I don't have any other ideas, so I just treat it as an ordinary KTV. Is there a problem?"

Li Zhengzheng glanced at Qi Zang while taking notes.

——Hiss, why does he feel that this is not an interrogation scene, but a rape scene?

Soon, I heard Xu Ci say again: "Everyone is a man, so what if I have some ideas? Chatting with beautiful girls, drinking alcohol, isn't breaking the law? It doesn't mean that she has done such a business before, so I must Doing that kind of business with her."

Qi Zang: "..."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask that girl. I was really just singing with her. You have no evidence to arrest me." Xu Ci was very serious, "I hope you can release me as soon as possible, otherwise I can file a complaint against you. Officer Qi , what is your alarm number?"

Qi Zang laughed angrily, and actually reported a series of numbers to him.

Xu Ci nodded. "Remember, it's very auspicious."

Qi Zang: "..."

·

The interrogation against Xu Ci ended quickly.

Qi Zang accompanied Li Hongyu to the office to report the situation to his leader and arrange work, and he was too busy for a while.

It’s true that the police didn’t even think about the raid tonight, let alone the drunken KTV gang, so many people were caught unexpectedly, and they needed to record and register the situation one by one, and they also needed to dig deeper to see if there was any truth behind it. There are other chains of interest.

By the time the basic situation has been fully figured out, it is already late at night.

It is Li Hongyu's business to continue digging along the line of intoxicated KTV. Qi Zang and his team have withdrawn one after another after helping to this point, and finally only Qi Zang is left.

Bai Xue was temporarily detained.

She did do this business and admitted that she will be detained for at least 10 days.

As for Xu Ci, since there was no evidence of his direct involvement, Bai Xue did not report him, saying that the two of them were indeed simply drinking and chatting, so he was released.

After listening to Li Hongyu's handling of Xu Ci, Qi Zang quickly went to the gate of the Public Security Bureau to wait for him.

The identity of "Xie Qiao" has lived in Jinning City for many years.But the two had never met before.But since the reunion, it seems that there is an invisible thread connecting them together.

They can always meet unexpectedly.

Although...although every time we meet, Qi Zang finds that he is always interrogating Xu Ci.

When he bumped into Xu Ci at KTV at first, Qi Zang was really surprised and amazed, completely unable to understand what happened.

Of course he didn't think Xu Ci would really do that kind of thing.

But no matter what, the girl's sweet smile as she held his arm really pierced a thorn in his heart.

Qi Zang's restlessness disappeared when he suddenly thought of something in the middle of the interrogation.

He felt like he wanted to understand one thing.

After he figured it out, the next emotion that replaced him was the sourness and bitterness in his heart.

At that time, Li Zhengzheng and the camera were there, so Qi Zang couldn't ask Xu Ci, so he had to wait until now.

The door of the police station.

Qi Zang watched Xu Ci's figure appear, and the light from the front hall of the building illuminated his tall and tall figure.He walked slowly towards the gate against the light, his expression kept hidden in the shadows until it was illuminated by the street lamp outside the iron gate.

"Mr. Xie—" Qi Zang called out to him.

Xu Ci glanced at him, did not speak, and continued to walk forward with a stern face.

Qi Zang quickly chased after him. "You... Are you angry again?"

Xu Ci: "...?"

——What is "again"?

"Don't you think I was very fierce just now? I was interrogating normally just now. Yours is indeed a melon field—"

"..."

"Okay. My tone just now may be a bit... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have misunderstood you. I apologize to you. Will you have dinner tomorrow?"

"..."

All of a sudden, Qi Zang's expression became serious, and his tone became a little grave. "I came to you to talk to you about something."

Xu Ci didn't speak, and quietly listened to him. "I left your house suddenly in the middle of the night, do you know why?"

Of course Xu Ci knew, but he had to shake his head.

Qi Zang said: "Director Qi of our municipal bureau thinks that the identity of the deceased in the dismemberment case may be a sex worker with AIDS. So everyone did a physical examination overnight."

There is one more thing that Qi Zang did not mention——

That was mentioned by Lihua Bu Qingyun inadvertently. The person who compared the hair DNA of "Xie Qiao" and Xu Ci happened to be Director Qi.

Qi Zang was so keen, he immediately discovered that there might be some kind of hidden connection in it.

He looked at Xu Ci: "So you intend to go to that kind of place, are you looking for something? Can you tell me? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Qi Zang... is really too smart.

Xu Ci frowned subconsciously, but he had no choice but to pretend to be confused. "What?"

It seems impossible to say.

Qi Zang looked at him for a while, but finally didn't ask any more questions. He just coughed lightly and said, "It's nothing. Take you home?"

Xu Ci looked at him and said nothing.

"There is something else I want to ask you about. About Qingfeng Group."

As expected, Xu Ci's footsteps paused, and then he said, "Okay. Then please take me back to the drunken KTV."

Qi Zang: "Huh?"

Xu Ci frowned: "What are you thinking? My car is just there."

"No... I didn't think about anything! I'll send you off right away. Don't be angry!"

"...?"

The street lamps are neatly arranged, looking like a sea of ​​stars from a distance.

The off-road vehicle passed through the sea of ​​lights at night, and Qi Zang glanced sideways at Xu Ci who was expressionless in the passenger seat from time to time, feeling that all the stars were reflected in his eyes, revealing the loneliness and coldness from ancient times.

"You said you wanted to ask about the Qingfeng Group." After a while, Xu Ci turned his head and looked at Qi Zang, "What do you want to ask?"

"There is a kid in our team who wants to buy the stock of Qingfeng Pharmaceutical, do you think it is reliable?"

Xu Ci was decisive: "Tell him not to buy it."

Qi Zang asked: "The medicine for Alzheimer's disease is not reliable?"

"I don't know. I just don't recommend buying stocks." Xu Ci said, "The market has not been good recently."

Chatting with each other, the car quickly drove to the drunken KTV again.

Places that were brightly lit a few hours ago are now pitch black.

There was no car in the underground garage, so Qi Zang parked the car near his car according to Xu Ci's instructions, unlocked it, watched Xu Ci unbuckle his seat belt, put his hand on the handle, and was about to open the door.

When the car door was about to be pushed open, Qi Zang called to him: "Wait—"

"Huh?" Xu Ci turned his head and looked at him again, "What's the matter?"

Qi Zang: "I invite you to dinner tomorrow, and I will make amends, okay?"

"What do you want me to eat?"

"Anyway, it's not Lao Ganma's fried rice."

Xu Ci smiled faintly: "Next Sunday. I have to work overtime tomorrow."

Qi Zang waved to him: "Okay. Then we will make an appointment then."

Xu Ci: "Yes."

·

Time goes to next Wednesday.

From Monday to Wednesday, Qi Zang inquired about one thing in the team - which restaurant in Jinning City is reliable.

The person who knows best where to find delicious food is Bai Shuwei, but the countless proposals she made every day were rejected by Qi Zang.

"Boss, what's the matter with you, are you so fuzzy?"

"I listened in. The restaurants that Bai Shuwei found are very interesting. Why are you still not satisfied? Who are you going on a date with?"

"Hiss...Deputy Bureau Rong saved you a blind date game again? But I haven't seen you so caring before!"

"It's just dinner with friends! It's okay, don't make up your mind!"

Qi Zang choked back resolutely, "Hurry up and help me think, whoever is selected, I will send a coupon to that restaurant! If there is no coupon, I will invite him again alone!"

Gong Nianci happened to come to their office to deliver documents, and after hearing this, he asked Qi Zang what restaurant he was looking for.After listening to Qi Zang's request, she decisively sent him a link.

"This one is nice. Very emotional."

Qi Zang opened it to see, from the decoration style to the dishes, he was satisfied with everything. "Thank you, that's all! I'll invite you to have another meal here later!"

"No need. This is the place where my ex-husband proposed to me. It is No.1 in Jinning City's ranking of the most suitable restaurants for couples to date." Gong Nianci smiled at Qi Zang, "You definitely have something to do!"

Gong Nianci's words stirred up waves, and everyone in the office watched Qi Zang's excitement.

Fortunately, a message from Rongyong rescued him.

He ran away quickly on the grounds that the deputy chief had summoned him.

He ran out in a hurry, and when he reached the door of Rongyong's office, Qi Zang suddenly put away his smile and became a little serious.

He could guess what Rong Yong wanted from him.

This Sunday, Qi Zang specially visited Rong Yong's house to cheer him up and his teacher's wife, and then began to inquire about the follow-up of the dismemberment case, and what kind of relationship it had with some major case back then.

Although the dismemberment case and the Yuan Xiaobing shooting case have been transferred to the provincial department, but the incident is so big that even if the core secrets are not touched, the people in the city bureau should know some inside information, so that they can take precautions in advance.

In this way, even if Qi Zang didn't open his mouth, Rong Yong originally planned to go to the provincial office to find out the situation out of emotion and reason.

When parting, Qi Zang reminded him: "Master, there is one more thing, don't forget."

Rong Yong: "What about your classmate named Xu Ci?"

"Yes. You've seen him too. The two of us are in the Municipal Bureau for our winter internship in junior year."

"Well, I remember him. He has a quick mind, and he can always think of angles that ordinary people can't think of when solving a case. But... this kid is really confusing. He has a lot on his mind."

"Don't worry about whether he is serious or not. His disappearance is really strange. I have been classmates with him for so many years... I don't want to find out what happened to him. I should know whether he is dead or alive."

"Well, don't worry. I'll inquire together."

At this moment, guessing that Rong Yong has found out what happened, in the deputy director's office, it was rare for Qi Zang not to be fooling around, but to sit in the office.

Sure enough, he heard Rong Yong ask: "The dismemberment case seems to be related to the old K...Have you heard of this person?"

Old K, whose real name is Gui Dajun, has been on the wanted list so far, and has committed countless vicious cases. Qi Zang naturally knows this person.

Qi Zang nodded, and Rong Yong said again: "Old K has been roaming around Southeast Asia like a mouse all these years, but he didn't get caught...Like a slippery loach, he can always slip away at critical moments."

Qi Zang was really puzzled: "But why is the old K's case so secretive inside us? Did he commit some unspeakable and shocking crime?"

Rong Yong's eyes flashed a sharpness rarely seen in recent years. "This matter... is actually related to the Xu Ci you want to inquire about."

Qi Zang immediately sat up straight. "Xu Ci? What's the situation?"

"When the old K was in Jinning City, he had contacts with the criminal gangs in Southeast Asia. After smuggling to Southeast Asia, he joined them directly... Later, he became the boss and developed a group called the Four. A prostitution organization. Bodyguards, murder, kidnapping, organ blood trading, human trafficking...they do everything."

Rong Yong grabbed a few strands of hair, looked at Qi Zang, and said: "Eight years ago, the Chinese police and the Burmese police launched an arrest operation against the drug lord Mouer. After receiving the news, Mouer Sicolorhua will be responsible for escorting the transfer of Yier's wife and daughter.

"After finally getting information about Old K, our Yunhai Provincial Department naturally sent people there to carry out the arrest operation together with the Burmese police. Among the people we sent... one of them was Xu Ci."

Eight years ago, Xu Ci had just graduated.

——When he left without saying goodbye, it was really because of a secret mission?

"Then what? Then what happened?" Qi Zang asked immediately.

"You asked me about this." Rong Yong spread his hands, "I don't know the process at all. I only know the result. Xu Ci and the others formed an investigation team. There were four people in total. Except for him, the other three had their foreheads all slapped. One shot."

"So... only Xu Ci survived?" Qi Zang asked.

"The place where the three people were shot happened to be a mountain forest. The support staff we rushed to found a cliff along the traces in the mountain forest, and saw a shoe of Xu Ci there. . . . is an extremely fast-moving river.

"In the beginning, they judged that Xu Ci was likely to be thrown down. The four-color flower may have fought with them before, and they happened to be out of bullets when they hit Xu Ci, so they adopted this method...

"But Qi Zang, think about it, the other three sacrificed martyrs had ropes on their bodies before they were shot. They were tied up and forced into a kneeling position... This means that the four members of their team did not resist at that time room.

"It stands to reason that Xu Ci should be the same as them. Then, even if there is no bullet... those executioners who kill without batting an eyelid, and even take pleasure in killing, have ten thousand ways to execute Xu Ci on the spot. Why do they have to run so far away? He threw it off the cliff?"

Qi Zang's face turned pale, but he still subconsciously defended Xu Ci. "Xu Ci is so smart, he may have discovered something in advance, so he broke free from the rope and escaped. He was chased to the cliff and had no choice, so he jumped off."

"Yes. What you said is indeed a possibility. But..." Rong Yong's face darkened uncommonly, "Their operation this time is top secret, and these four people are also the elite among the elite. If it wasn't for their whereabouts being exposed Ambush, they couldn't possibly be in that situation.

"So there is another possibility——Xu Ci is our traitor. He is even the other party's undercover agent to break into our side."

"Impossible!" Qi Zang stood up abruptly, as if he wanted to challenge Master openly, "I have been with him day and night for four years, how could he be an undercover agent?"

"Don't be emotional, just listen to me." Rong Yong slapped the table, but he didn't get angry, he just said, "At that time, their team's actions were directly directed by our provincial director Zhuang Qiangzhuang. People who know this team Only he, Deputy Director Li, and the director of our city bureau, who is my immediate boss, Zhang Yunfu, are the ones who have the specific action plan.

"These three people are known as the Iron Triangle, and they are heroes praised by everyone in Yunhai Province. Zhuangting, a special policeman, has confronted terrorists many times, and was deaf in one ear. Deputy Lieutenant, a narcotics policeman , People almost couldn't get out in the Mekong River back then. Let's not say much, the director... Which of these three people is not a hero who dedicated himself to death?

"The three of them and Xu Ci, who do you think is the one who leaked the information? What's more..."

Rong Yong said something that made Qi Zang's heart sink——

"What's more, the higher-ups took it very seriously and sent a special investigation team to investigate the matter. The results showed that the three people were clean. Then the problem can only be Xu Ci."

"So, either there is something hidden about the information leak back then, Xu Ci is clean and there is no problem, but this also means that Xu Ci has indeed fallen to his death, otherwise why didn't he come back?

"Or...Xu Ci deliberately faked his death back then, just to temporarily deceive us. After doing this, he didn't dare to return to the police force, and he completely became a person there."

In the office, the temperature of the air conditioner was turned on very low, but Qi Zang's entire back was soaked.

He sat down again, without saying a word with a sullen face.A little gloom appeared in his usually tough, resolute, and courageous eyes.

Rong Yong is not an inexperienced person. He thought he knew the pain of finding out that his good brother was actually an undercover agent of evil forces, so he immediately got up and patted Qi Zang on the shoulder.

"I don't know more inside information. This level of matter is actually not very confidential, but it involves three martyrs and involves high-level officials of the provincial department... It is somewhat sensitive, so it has not been announced to the public, even No internal announcements."

At that moment, Qi Zang's mind was at war between heaven and man.

He almost approved Rong Yong's deduction——

Xu Ci did have a problem.

Otherwise, why did the killer who shot Yuan Xiaobing by the river in Yongquan Village let Xu Ci go?

When I was in the hospital, I just asked one more question for the purpose of finding clues, why did Xu Ci react as if he was facing a big enemy and rejected people thousands of miles away?

But the next moment, what appeared in Qi Zang's mind was the surveillance on the bridge he was looking at.

Xu Ci could choose to leave by himself.

But he stayed on, walked up to Yuan Xiaobing step by step with his hands raised, and replaced Zhu Xiu with himself.

Immediately afterwards, more distant memories flooded in.

In class, Xu Ci said: "Being a policeman is to safeguard the dignity of the law...to promote justice."

How could the pride on his face at that time be a fake?

The battle between heaven and man in the mind will soon end.

Qi Zang's voice was still a little low, but his face had returned to calm.

He said to Rong Yong: "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. If Xu Ci is guilty, just investigate him, but why did his household registration file disappear directly? It's as if he didn't exist at all!

"Again, he had just graduated from college at the time, why was he sent to such a mission? Who arranged it?"

Rong Yong sighed and made a gesture of spreading his hands, expressing that he could not answer these questions.

Wanting to make Qi Zang feel better, he changed into a relaxed tone. "I've told you everything I know. Other people can't even tell me, so don't inquire about it.

"Your master, I paid a huge price for asking these questions-I took out my 20-year-old Langjiu... ah, I took out all the wine prepared for your wedding, and invited my old classmates in the provincial department to drink it , Only then did I find out some inside information.

"Cough, think about it, it's not like I haven't inquired about Xu Ci's whereabouts for you before. When did it come to fruition? This time Liu Na's case was implicated there, and the four-color flower may have come to Jinning City to take root again. things, and Xu Ci has an inexplicable relationship with Sicolorhua... Our city bureau has to be prepared to some extent, based on these, people are willing to tell me so much!"

Qi Zang turned to ask: "So how much does Master know about Qingfeng Group? I have checked a lot of old news about it these days. There is a gossip saying... Lin Huaiyu, the chairman of Qingfeng, is a sworn brother to Gui Dajun?"

"There is such news, but there is no evidence. Either Lin Huaiyu is too rogue, and the investigation methods more than [-] years ago are really backward, and no key evidence of his guilt has been found...or he is indeed clean."

At this point, Rong Yong reminded Qi Zang, "In terms of work, you have always made me feel at ease. The police handle cases, follow procedures, and uphold justice. You made me feel a little impatient this time...don't mess with me!"

After a long while, Qi Zang finally replied solemnly: "Don't worry, Master, I know it well."

·

Until next Sunday, Qi Zang finally formally invited Xu Ci to have a meal.

Regarding Xu Ci before, Qi Zang had various guesses, premonitions, and deliberations... After getting some key information about Xu Ci from Rong Yong, something settled in Qi Zang's mind.

During this meal, Qi Zang seldom spoke, but kept adding food to Xu Ci.

Xu Ci was almost helpless. "You don't eat much yourself, so you just stuffed vegetables for me?"

"I don't know why, but I always feel that you have been hungry and suffered." Qi Zang's voice was a little low when he said this, "Now I can't make up for the past...but I just want you to eat more."

Xu Ci didn't answer, he put down his chopsticks and looked at Qi Zang thoughtfully.

Qi Zang looked back at Xu Ci deeply, and suddenly said solemnly: "I have never pretended to be a person since I was a child. Probably when I was a child, I watched too many superheroes, so I always wanted to be a policeman and catch bad guys. There's no particular reason behind this.

"Many times I thought that the people around me should be similar to me. Later, after working and experiencing a lot, I realized that this is not the case. Some people want to be a policeman, maybe they have experienced things.

"I grew up carefree. I didn't have too big ideals or worries when I was a student...but at the age when I only wanted to play games, my peers may have already Totally unimaginable experience—”

Xu Ci frowned slightly.

Qi Zang continued: "I used to have a college classmate who was like this. At first I thought he was just indifferent, private, and born with a sense of distance from other people. It was only after we separated that I slowly realized it. , maybe he wasn't born like this, he might have experienced some bad things.

"Back then he didn't tell me anything, maybe he felt that I didn't take responsibility... After all, I was doing nothing all day long and didn't even read books well. How can I be a good policeman like that? I don't deserve his trust at all. "

At the end of the conversation, Qi Zang's voice had become a little hoarse.

After a long pause, he said again: "But it's been eight years now... I think I've done a good job as a policeman in the past eight years. Solving crimes, arresting murderers... I haven't lost the chain.

"Mr. Xie, you said—"

Qi Zang stared seriously at Xu Ci's eyes, as if he wanted to see through the almost flawless camouflage and see what was hidden inside might have been riddled with holes and was forced to repair it until it completely changed its appearance. soul.

Qi Zang asked: "If I meet him again...can he trust me now? Can he know that he is not alone, and can he have someone who is trustworthy and reliable?"

Xu Ci still didn't speak, but subconsciously pursed his lips slightly.

There should be nowhere to hide his expressions and emotions under the lights.

But probably that mask had been on his face for so many years that no one could see any flaws.

"Or... I shouldn't ask for what I just said." Qi Zang's voice became very low, "I just want to know...does he think that I am actually qualified to fight side by side with him?"

After being silent for a while, Xu Ci asked him back: "Last time at Zishui Waterfall, the classmate you mentioned with a strong sense of justice, who was always resolute and brave...is he also?"

Qi Zang nodded: "Yes. I'm talking about the same person."

After a long time, Xu Ci looked at Qi Zang, and finally said softly but loudly: "Qi Zang, you are a special, very good person, and a very, very good policeman. It was you who met you." The luck of my classmate. I envy him very much. But...

"But judging from your description, he is a person who is so naive that he is a bit dull—"

Where Xu Ci couldn't see, Qi Zangchui's two hands on the table were clasped together, so hard that his knuckles protruded.

He didn't say a word, just quietly looked at the familiar and unfamiliar people in front of him.

"Qi Zang." Xu Ci looked into his eyes, called his name for the first time, and said, "In my opinion, there is no absolute justice in the world, and there is no absolute black and white. I told him A completely different person. So... I'm afraid I can't understand him, and I can't answer your question for him. Sorry."

"May……"

Xu Ci.Suddenly hearing such an answer, Qi Zang almost couldn't help blurting out these two words, but finally swallowed the last word.

Xu Ci looked at him and said: "But I have my life experience, so I can say a few more words. I think Team Qi seems to be troubled by some past events. There is a saying that is good, everything yesterday is like death yesterday, don't worry about it again." I'm entangled in the past. In life, you always have to look forward."

"You want me to move on..."

After a long time, Qi Zang said with a hoarse voice, "Then tell me, what does it mean to look forward? I am quite active in work, so it must be moving forward. So you are talking about other aspects, such as personal problems ? Maybe I should find someone to fall in love with, or even get married and have children... Then I will have a relatively fulfilling life, right?"

Xu Ci pursed his lips, the warm-colored lights were in stark contrast to the coldness in his eyes.

Raising his hand to pick up the red wine glass on the table, Xu Ci didn't drink it, but drew his index finger half a circle along the rim of the glass, then nodded. "Didn't you say last time that you yearn for family life?"

"Yes. What you said is very reasonable." Qi Zang's solemnity, search, and some inexplicable emotions hidden on Qi Zang's face were all invisible.

He suddenly looked at Xu Ci with a smile, and said, "Since this is the case...then I can pursue Mr. Xie, can I?"

"You, what did you say?" Xu Ci's voice almost changed in surprise.

He suppressed it as much as possible, and managed to make the question seem barely stable.But the ending sound was obviously uneven and sharply rising, so Qi Zang quickly caught it.

"I said your suggestion is right, I should not be attached to the old people, I should look more at the people in front of me...For example, Mr. Xie who is sitting opposite me now.

"I admire you very much, but I don't know what you think of me? Is it possible that you like me?"

Qi Zang suddenly found out, what kind of temptations, what hidden hints, why are you playing with these empty brains?Xu Ci loves to guess riddles with others, so he won't play with him this time.

When he was in school, he had been secretly in love with Xu Ci for so long, but he didn't confess because he was too cautious. Sometimes he was afraid that Xu Ci would mind, and sometimes he was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, and he would not even have to be friends after confessing...

After finally graduating for two nights, the two of them slept together, and it turned out that Xu Ci ran away for eight years.
