No such person [criminal investigation]

Two weeks later.

This major and vicious homicide involving five lives was finally brought to an end.

It was Saturday, and the members of the criminal investigation team [-] went to the KTV to sing again.Of course, it was Bai Shuwei's team, and Gong Nianci and Bu Qingyun were also invited.

This time she learned her lesson and didn't get greedy for the cheap coupons. She chose a relatively high-end KTV in the city center, which was located on the top floor of a high-end store.This store is still run by Qingfeng Group.

The previous case was complicated, had a wide range of social impacts, had many family members who needed to be communicated with, and had many clues to be completed afterwards. The detailed case closing report was more than [-] pages long.

After spinning around for so long, everyone can finally rest.

While singing and drinking, they prayed that there would be no new cases within a month.

Knowing that everyone was tired, Qi Zang rarely stopped them from drinking.Later, unable to hold back, he drank two glasses himself.

After drinking too much, everyone let go, and it was a joke.

The first to be besieged was of course Qi Zang as the leader.

Li Zhengzheng took the lead in putting himself at risk, speaking boldly, and shouting directly into the microphone: "Boss, call my sister-in-law and let us meet!"

Bai Shuwei sang oboe with him and picked up another microphone. "Why does the boss have a troubled expression on his face? No way, no way, maybe it's because he doesn't know which girlfriend to call?"

The honest boy, Shan Kang, was obviously taken to bad. He blushed and drank his tongue out, and he didn't forget to ask: "Boss, which girlfriend did you lose? Is it Xie Shan on the left, Zhang Xiaoyu on the right, or the one in the middle?" Where's Zoey! Hahaha hiccup~"

These bastards.

Qi Zang cursed angrily in his heart and laughed angrily.

How many people are still booing——

"Call me, boss."

"Yes, yes, why don't you send them a WeChat message to see who will come?"

"Wow, I'm really looking forward to the boss overturning!"

On the corner of the sofa, Gong Nianci clicked his tongue twice, and said with a frown, "Qi Zang shouldn't be like this. Do you think he set an example for young children? Tsk. It's unreliable."

Bu Qingyun actually smiled: "Qi Zang is not so playful. Everyone should be booing. Those girls look very smart. They shouldn't all be his girlfriends, but maybe they are all fish raised by him. possible."

"That's good to call over. Aquaman overturned? Wonderful. Exciting."

So Gong Nianci stood up and joined the booing team.

"Boss, how many good sisters do you have?"

"Choose your favorite wind-up voice to go!"

"You say 'I love you' to everyone, and watch her get over it!"

……

In the end, Qi Zang was almost forced to take out his mobile phone, and was forced to click on several avatars one by one, open the dialog box, and input them by voice, saying: "I love you, if you love me too, come to the gold cabinet No. 408, KTV Surabaya store, come to me."

Qi Zang thought to himself, what kind of fish do I raise? This group of people with the heads of beautiful girls are actually Xu Ci's trumpet.

Thanks to Xu Ci's acting and making a full set, each vest and even the circle of friends are prepared in advance.And it's not "only three days to see", he has done a full year of preparation for each trumpet.

Not only that, but he also has several vests that have been completed in the circle of friends, but they have not been played in front of Qi Zang.

After sending the voice, he finally dealt with the group of people, Qi Zang hurriedly excused himself to go to the bathroom, went to the corridor, and quickly sent a message to the avatar of "Xie Qiao": [Sorry, don't worry.They drank too much and fooled around.Just pretend you didn't hear.don't use it. ]

After sending this message, Qi Zang leaned against the corridor and did not move.Holding the phone in his hand, his eyes drooping, he stared at the screen of the phone, waiting for Xu Ci's reply.

He knew that Xu Ci also had a social event today.

I don't know if it was because his mind was finally separated from the case, and because he drank some wine and was coaxed together like that, he really wanted to resign.Now I can't wait to get his reply.

After a full 15 minutes, he finally received a message from Xu Ci: [Today's negotiation is very troublesome, and it may be very late.You go back early, don't wait for me. ]

Although Xue Ying seemed to have made no moves, Qi Zang did not dare to take it lightly. [Where are you?I will pick you up.I'm off for a few days, and I'm fine. ]

Xu Ci: [I'm at the Genting Hotel on Surabaya Street.Lin Jingtong might find a driver to take me off.If you are stared at by him, it will be inconvenient for you and me to meet.I'll be fine.I've gotten closer to the Lin family recently, and Sisehua hasn't been to Jinning City recently.Just wait for me at home. ]

After fiddling with the phone back and forth, Qi Zang breathed out and finally replied: [Okay, I'll wait for you at home.Be careful.Call me anytime. ]

In a certain bathroom of the Genting Hotel, Xu Ci looked back and forth between the two on WeChat, and immediately cleared the chat history.

Then he went back to his box in the restaurant.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Lin Jingtong being drunk again.

Qingfeng has such a big plate, and the cash flow has always been healthy.

Outsiders would never have imagined that Lin Jingtong, as the crown prince in everyone's eyes, needed to come to accompany him in order to attract investment for his e-sports project.

But Xu Ci knew the inside story.Recently, Qingfeng wants to be Kong Huaiwang Technology, and at the same time, it wants to be long Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals. No matter how much cash it has, it will be poured into the stock market.

The relevant evidence, Xu Ci and Shu Yan are collaborating internally and externally, and are sorting it out, and the thunder will explode in the near future.

Thinking of this, when looking at Lin Jingtong at this moment, Xu Ci's eyes also flashed complicated for a moment.

The two special assistants brought by Lin Jingtong have already got down on the ground.

Now at last it was his turn.

But Xu Ci knew he couldn't drink.On the one hand, he has some alcohol allergies; on the other hand, he is sensitive and dare not get drunk, for fear of being assassinated by his half-brother when he is in a bad state, so he never touches alcohol.

Frowning for a while, Lin Jingtong finally walked towards him when he had to pick up a glass full of white wine.

"Boss Lin, wait—"

Xu Ci stepped forward, grabbed Lin Jingtong's wrist, snatched the wine glass from him, then turned around and looked at the person with a smile, "Mr. Wang, I've met him many times, but I have never had a good time drinking. It's my fault. I'll drink with you. You can drink as much as you want. Mr. Lin is allergic to alcohol and will kill you. Your lord has a lot, so let him go."

"Yo, Mr. Xie is giving me face like this? Hahaha... I know you are Mr. Lin's right-hand man, but you have always been more like Mr. Lin than Mr. Lin. You always hang your face and look cold when you go. You drink, it seems that you have been teased face to face?"

This "President Wang" was really rude, and immediately asked someone to refill three glasses of white wine and hand them over.

"Mr. Xie, what's the matter? If you drink it, our contract will be concluded!"

Xie Qiao's "nobility" and "arrogance" are also spread in the circle.

But he is also really capable, and has always allowed both parties to get the best benefits from the project. Although everyone has always joked that he looks like Lin Jingtong's boss, they all sincerely admire him.

Xie Qiao has always scoffed at the bad habit of wine table culture.Everyone regarded him as a talented student who relied on his IQ to get things done, so nothing really felt sorry for him.

Xie Qiao never drank any other kind of alcohol in entertainment.

Seeing that he is willing to drink his own wine now, in Mr. Wang's view, it really seems that he is unique and has face, and he really promised to sign the contract.

Seeing the three glasses of white wine, Xu Ci frowned slightly, but quickly picked up a glass neatly.

"Thank you brother—"

Lin Jingtong called him to stop, with a bit of concern and worry in his tone.

Xu Ci turned around and shook his head at him, then raised his head and drank the glass of white wine in one gulp.

After drinking three glasses of wine in succession, Xu Ci's face flushed slightly, obviously drunk.But his eyes and expression hardly changed.

After receiving the contract from Lin Jingtong, he walked up to Mr. Wang and handed it to him, and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang, you keep your word, sign it."

Seeing that Xu Ci's tone didn't seem to change at all, Mr. Wang was taken aback for a moment. "Hey, Mr. Xie is huge. What's the matter, drink with me again?"

Xu Ci raised the contract in his hand, with a smile on his face, but his tone was a little harsher. "Sign the contract first, and then I'll have a drink with you."

Xu Ci's expression was stern and his tone was sharp.Mr. Wang was really taken aback.

He is not an unhappy person after making a promise in front of so many people.Besides, he also has benefits from this project, but he has always disliked Lin Jingtong before, and wanted to take the opportunity to give him some flair.

Since Xu Ci said that he wanted to "have fun" with him, he borrowed the donkey from the slope and signed the contract happily.Soon his secretary poured the wine again, Mr. Wang pointed to those cups. "Mr. Xie, please?"

·

Xu Ci almost drank a piece of wine that night.

He seldom drinks alcohol, so he is naturally not good at drinking.

As soon as he drank those three glasses of wine, he began to be in a trance.

He got through the signing phase by sheer force of will.

After signing the contract, his heart relaxed, and he became dizzy and couldn't even lift the cup.

But even though he was drunk, Xu Ci still tried his best to maintain his sobriety.This is an ability he has honed over the years.No matter when, where, or under what circumstances, he will not reveal his secrets.

Fortunately, I had a few more drinks with Mr. Wang, and the new rescuer Lin Jingtong invited to stop the drinks arrived.

Xu Ci leaned on the sofa to take a rest in peace.When the drinking party was finally over, he got into Lin Jingtong's car.

Lin Jingtong was driving, and Xu Ci was the co-pilot.

Xu Ci was okay before, but I don't know if it was because Lin Jingtong was always in a hurry when he hit the brakes, so he started to feel sick after sitting in the car for a long time.

He still had reason to know that this was Lin Jingtong's luxury car, so he tried his best to hold back.

In a daze, he heard Lin Jing say: "Brother Xie, throw up if you feel like it, don't worry about it. I have a doctor at home. I'll take you back to my place. You don't usually drink alcohol. I'm afraid something will happen to you."

Xu Ci shook his head, but actually endured it in a daze.

Later, he almost passed out, and he could only vaguely feel that the car drove to another villa of Lin Jingtong.Then he was helped out of the car by Lin Jingtong and sent to the bathroom of the villa. Later, he vomited instinctively while holding the toilet.His brain seemed to have lost the ability to control his body.

After uttering Xu Ci, he lost consciousness.

When he woke up, he picked up his phone and saw that it was 03:30 in the morning.

After unlocking, Xu Ci saw several WeChat messages and missed calls from Qi Zang.

Just in case, all the notification messages on his mobile phone were set not to be displayed on the main screen, and Qi Zang's name was also added as an extra note.

There was probably no reply from Xu Ci, and the tone of Qi Zang's message became more and more anxious.

But the two have an agreement.

If Xu Ci still doesn't reply after more than a few messages, it means that something may be wrong with him and the phone may be controlled.In order to avoid leaking the news, Qi Zang can no longer send him any messages, nor can he make any phone calls.

His head was still dizzy, but the sentence that Qi Zang sent not long ago appeared in Xu Ci's mind - "I'll wait for you at home."

So he picked up his phone, and Xu Ci sent a message to Qi Zang: "I'm a little drunk, so I didn't check my phone. I'll go back later."

After sending the message and clearing the call records and chat records again, Xu Ci got out of bed, pushed open the door of the guest room, and walked downstairs, and saw Lin Jingtong dragging the suitcase at a glance.

Lin Jingtong still had to catch a plane on a business trip, so he simply stayed up all night and was surprised to see Xu Ci come down now. "Do you want to drink water? Is there any discomfort?"

Xu Ci shook his head, thinking of something, and looked down at his clothes.

Lin Jingtong said, "I asked Aunt Wang to change it for you. I know you are a clean freak, but I have never worn this dress. Do you mind?"

Xu Ci shook his head again.

Lin Jingtong clasped his hands, walked over, and looked at him seriously: "Brother Xie, thank you. You helped me again. I really owe you too much."

Xu Ci was still in a daze, feeling that Lin Jingtong's face was shaking in front of him.

He barely stood still, and said with a smile, "No. Just give me a raise."

Because of being drunk, Xu Ci's voice was not as cold and distant as usual.

Lin Jingtong also smiled when he heard it, and then said: "You haven't sobered up yet, why did you come down? Shall I help you upstairs to sleep?"

Xu Ci still shook his head. "I'm fine. You go catch your flight. I want to go home."

"Go home? This time?"

"Well. It's not my own bed, I'm not used to sleeping, you're right, I'm just fussy."

"Shall I call the car back to the executive's apartment for you?"

Xu Ci was glad that Lin Jingtong brought him a villa in the city center that was very close to the center of Yunding.Otherwise, if he also returned to the executive's apartment, it would be inconvenient for him to take a taxi and leave in a grandiose manner.

Taking out his phone, Xu Ci tapped a few times. "I can come by myself. You hurry to the airport. Don't be late."

·

the other side.Inside the small apartment.

Qi Zang crossed his fingers and supported his forehead, looking quite anxious.

When Xu Ci couldn't be contacted at first, he was of course anxious about Xu Ci's safety, so he hurried to the Genting Hotel.After asking all the waiters and security guards, Qi Zang learned that——

"A very good-looking man seemed to be drunk, and another handsome guy helped him into a Lamborghini. I don't know where the car is going."

In this way, knowing that there was no accident in Xu Ci, Qi Zang should not have to worry anymore, and he did go back to the small apartment alone silently.

But he had no intention of going back to his room to sleep at all.Throughout the night, he either paced back and forth in the small living room, or sat on the sofa in deep meditation.

On the way, he made a special trip to the entrance, where he and Xu Ci's cohabitation rules were posted, and Qi Zang silently read them one by one.

It clearly states that you can't drink alcohol.

Xu Ci, does this count as a violation of the rules?

What's more, it's fine for him to drink, but he actually went to someone else's house...

Qi Zang couldn't help but mutter in his heart - so many clauses were all drafted by Xu Ci.Logically, I also have the right to add a few rules, such as "you must go home after work", "you are not allowed to spend the night at other people's homes, even men and women."

While silently drawing up the overlord clause in his heart, Qi Zang received the news from Xu Ci——

He said he would be back.

Qi Zang's restless heart immediately calmed down.

He finally returned to the sofa and sat down.

He should have been waiting here quietly, but even he himself didn't know why, unknowingly, a heart in his chest was beating faster and faster again.

Qi Zang hardly knew how to handle the situation.

He was restless and anxious all night.

It seemed that as long as Xu Ci didn't come back, none of his problems would be resolved.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the long-awaited sound of opening the door finally sounded.

Qi Zang immediately walked towards the entrance.

The light at the entrance was not turned on, and what Qi Zang saw at first was only a black shadow, and he didn't see Xu Ci's appearance.

A smell of alcohol rushed towards his face, Qi Zang immediately frowned and stepped forward to support him.As if to cover up his inexplicably rapid heartbeat, Qi Zang deliberately scolded and said with a stern face: "How much wine did you drink? Did you violate the rules?"

Then Qi Zang heard a soft voice: "Um..."

Xu Ci's voice was too strange.

Qi Zang flicked on the switch.

In the next moment, Xu Ci's blushing face, those misty eyes that seemed to be unclear about the situation, all of them were caught off guard by Qi Zang's eyes.

"you--"

Only one syllable was uttered, Qi Zang's throat was swollen, and he was unable to speak.

The moment the light came on, Xu Ci probably felt a little uncomfortable, so he narrowed his eyes all of a sudden, and opened them again after a while.

In his line of sight, Qi Zang's face gradually changed from blurred to clear.

It was as if the person who had been living in his memory, whose facial features were almost blurred, finally walked in front of him, so that he could clearly see and touch him again.

This feeling is as if lost and found again.

Xu Ci was so drunk that he barely woke up the whole night.

When signing the contract, he relied on willpower, but when facing Lin Jingtong, he relied on instinctive vigilance and the defensive power he had trained for many years.

Until this moment when he saw Qi Zang, in his subconscious mind, he felt that all defenses and vigilance could be eliminated.

He doesn't have to be so tired anymore.

Xu Ci was completely immersed in the effects of alcohol, and could hardly distinguish reality from dreams, and could hardly distinguish eight years ago from eight years later.

Seeing that Xu Ci's walking was unsteady, Qi Zang reached out to support him in time, and wanted to take him back to the bedroom to rest.

And just as he was dragged by that warm palm, Xu Ci suddenly felt that he had returned to that night eight years ago.

Eight years ago, on the big heart-shaped bed, under the dark light, Qi Zang held his arm like this, and then kissed him.

Eight years ago, Xu Ci drank too much. On that night in his memory, Qi Zang's beautiful peach blossom eyes were always dangling.

Now, eight years later, he is also drinking too much.Seeing those familiar eyes full of affection again, almost inevitably, a thought crossed Xu Ci's mind - did I go back to eight years ago?

Raising his hand in confusion, Xu Ci's fingertips lightly touched Qi Zang's face, as if confirming his existence.

Immediately afterwards, he seemed to see Qi Zang turning around to leave, his hand quickly dropped, placed on Qi Zang's arm, pinched a small part of his sleeve, and then held it tightly.

It seemed that he didn't want Qi Zang to go far.

"Xiaoci—?"

I was completely immersed in the fantasy dream of eight years ago.

Xu Ci seemed to think that Qi Zang was going to kiss him the next moment.

He tilted his head back slightly, and then slowly closed his eyes.
