Don't move the old man's bounty

When the two rushed to the CBD, except for the 33rd floor where Chen Qing was located, all irrelevant personnel on other floors were evacuated urgently, and only the special police and the EOD team were on standby on the adjacent upper and lower floors.

After Jiang Juan got out of the car, he looked around and found the hidden spot of the sniper in a nearby building.

It's a pity that this floor is under the cover of the "mushroom" appearance of the building, and the windows are blocked by blackout curtains, which happens to be a blind spot. It is difficult to see the interior from the outside, so it is impossible to locate the suspect.

During the live broadcast, Chen Qing eased up because the negotiators mentioned Jiang Juan, but the effect brought by the name was far less than Jiang Juan's expectations. It can be seen that although Jiang Juan's trust has gained Chen Qing's favor, in his eyes , still belong to the "untrustworthy police" group.

He quickly realized, "No, the person I'm looking for is not him, I want to see Ye Mingxiao, don't you understand! Bring him!!"

After he finished yelling, he clenched the dagger in his hand again, and pointed the tip of the knife at Zhao Zijun, causing the latter to roll his eyes in fright, and just passed out like this, with a lot of wetness under his body.

Chen Qing sneered, ruthless, and was about to stab the knife into Zhao Zijun's neck when Jiang Juan's voice came from the receiver.

He spoke concisely, without half a word of nonsense, "Chen Qing, do you know that you have been cheated?"

"What?... What was cheated, you make it clear!!"

The mobile phone in the negotiator's hand reflected Jiang Juan's face. He was standing in the rain, his crow-black hair was wet and stuck to his ear, looking up at the 33rd floor.

"Wait for a few minutes, I'll go up right now. Chen Qing, remember not to go near the window."

Jiang Xun, who handed him the earphones, almost jumped up on the spot when he heard this, "Why are you telling him that!"

"He doesn't have to die, saving one is one."

Jiang Juan connected the earphone, but it hung on his right ear, and he couldn't hear any sound at all.

He said to Xiao Shi: "Your next..."

"I'll accompany you."

He knew that he couldn't get rid of Xiao Shi, so he could only acquiesce in allowing him to stay by his side.

When he got on the elevator, he whispered, "I don't guarantee your safety. I'm not good at persuading people. I don't guarantee..."

Xiao Shi kissed him hard, "Stop talking, you should kiss him more at this time."

After finishing speaking, he pushed the man against the wall, not giving him a chance to resist, and did not let him go until the elevator bell rang.

Jiang Juan was a little confused by the kiss, and wiped the corner of his mouth as if he was dirty, and wiped away the redness on his face.

When the two stepped out of the elevator, they saw the special police on standby.

The leader nodded to him and pointed to the shortcut to the office area.

Although he was fully armed with only one pair of eyes exposed, Jiang Juan still recognized the other party, and silently asked, "Lian Xiao?"

The man nodded, and reminded them in a low voice when the two passed by him: "Be careful."

"You too."

Jiang Juan turned around and made a silent gesture to Xiao Shi, signaling him not to speak rashly, and then coughed a few times to let Chen Qing know of his arrival in advance.

"I want to see Ye Mingxiao..."

I don't know whether it was due to exhaustion of energy or physical and mental exhaustion, but Chen Qing had lost the momentum of clamoring just now, sitting on the office chair, holding a knife in one hand, and the remote control in the other, almost begging: "Let me see him... ...I want, I want to seek justice for Ji Yin."

"What is your so-called justice? Kill Ye Mingxiao and avenge him?"

"if not?!"

"The reality is going to disappoint you. I'm afraid that your wishful deeds will not let your best friend rest in peace, but will cause him to hold grudges. After all, no one wants to see the tragedy of the lover who sacrificed his life to protect being killed by a friend. "

"What did you say?" Chen Qing stood up in panic, staring blankly at the remote control in his hand, "Obviously, it's Ye Mingxiao..."

"Forced Ji Yin? Where's the evidence?" Jiang Juan questioned, "You said Ji Yin was coerced by Ye Mingxiao, which is difficult to verify now, but according to Ji Yin's autopsy report, there are no obvious scars on his body, which can be seen He was not raped during his lifetime. Then I would like to ask, do you think Ji Yin is a person who is submissive and will not even struggle when he is wronged?"

"Yes, but he..."

"I was violated in the Snow Mountain Villa? Is there any evidence for this?"

"Well, how can there be evidence for such a thing, and everyone wants to cover up such a scandal!"

"Then how do you know?"

Chen Qing was speechless.

"It's Zhang Wanning." Jiang Juan said firmly, "Your information comes from Ji Yin's wife Zhang Wanning, but according to my investigation, their husband and wife relationship is a bit complicated, and the information she provided to you may not be all true, maybe not Because she deliberately misled you, but she was also deceived?"

Chen Qing's face was pale, cold sweat rolled down the bridge of his nose, and he looked at Jiang Juan helplessly.

"Try to recall what Zhang Wanning experienced during his lifetime, and then think about why you are standing here."

Jiang Juan gave Xiao Shi a wink, the latter nodded, and he walked towards Chen Qing.

Chen Qing was in a state of high mental tension. Seeing him approaching, she subconsciously raised the knife in her hand and pointed at him, but unexpectedly, Jiang Juan brushed aside the tip of his knife lightly with one finger and walked away from him. The panicked crowd by the wall.

He walked up to a frightened man, who, like a frightened rabbit, hid back whimpering, leaning against the wall.

"Your suit looks very expensive. It shouldn't be affordable for employees with ordinary income, right? And there's this smell..."

Jiang Juan sniffed his scent, "I heard it is a five-figure high-end incense, it seems that you are also a social elite."

He let go of the man who was about to burst into tears, and walked back to Chen Qing's side slowly, "Look carefully at these employees who are trapped on the same floor as you, all of them are senior leaders in suits and leather ties, ordinary employees may I can’t even meet face to face, but today I gather together like a Chinese New Year. Haven’t you ever wondered why they are here?”

"It's not important! What's important is that I have hostages in my hand. If you don't meet my request, I will die with them!!" Chen Qing roared hoarsely.

"You idiot, this is the most important thing!" Jiang Juan yelled, "If you are used as a gun and you don't know it, and if someone tells a lie and you are hooked, you can live to this day with your IQ without being abducted. Is it all about luck to maintain the tendons in the hands and feet in northern Myanmar!"

Xiao Shi was worried at first, but he almost stopped laughing when he heard this.

Chen Qing was stunned for a moment by his scolding.

Jiang Juan shook Chen Qing's shoulders, making him turn around, facing the group of people huddled by the wall, standing behind him, and whispering to him: "Most of them are Yanyin Group and The executives of Huanyu Energy have been more or less concerned by the police recently. After Huanyu's accident, Ye Mingxuan was launched as a scapegoat, but the matter is far from over. If you want to keep the entire Ye family, you must stop Ye Mingxuan With all the relations with the Ye family, no matter whether they know about it or not, the Ye family needs them to take the blame. The best way to catch them all is to use this opportunity. Once you detonate the bomb according to the plan, you, Ye Mingxiao, Zhao Zijun, I, and they, will be crushed with secrets."

Chen Qing's lips trembled, and she wanted to turn her head to confirm Jiang Juan's eyes, but was stopped by that person.

"Don't look back, the live camera is right behind you. Once they realize that you might sabotage the plan, they will probably use other methods to ensure the smooth execution of the plan."

Chen Qing is a smart man, and when he heard the words, he pushed Jiang Juan away and shouted at him: "Don't try to lie to me! I will press it, I will press it... Stay away from me! !"

With cruel words in his mouth, his eyes were begging for help, asking silently: What should I do?

Jiang Juan retreated behind the camera, waving his hands behind his back, signaling to Xiao Shi, and at the same time turned the live broadcasting mobile phone so that the direction of the camera deviated from where Chen Qing was.

Xiao Shi saw that Lian Xiao took the lead and sneaked into the office area with a special police team, and immediately signaled to retreat.

But Lian Xiao shook his head at him and insisted on leading people to continue sneaking in.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Shi coughed to indicate that Jiang Juan's situation had changed. The latter hurriedly winked at Chen Qing, but his expression changed almost at the same time.

At this moment, the electronic screen of the bomb on Chen Qing's body suddenly lit up with red numbers, and the time counted down in seconds. With the sound of "beep", the bomb's timing device was activated.

"what have you done!"

Jiang Juan didn't care about acting anymore, so he stopped Chen Qing and questioned him.

The latter was full of panic and shook his head desperately, "I have nothing...it's not me!"

As he spoke, he threw away the remote control in his hand.

Jiang Juan thought in his heart that the mastermind behind him came prepared, and the backup plan was to resolutely kill the grass and root out the roots when something happened to Chen Qing, leaving no way out!

The countdown was only 3 minutes, and the time left for them was too little, and the other party had no intention of letting go of anyone present!

Jiang Juan calmly said: "The special police evacuated the hostages! Xiao Shi, you take Zhao Zijun down! The EOD team entered the scene! Hurry up!"

The special police team headed by Lian Xiao cooperated quite tacitly, helped up the hostages who were so frightened that their legs were weak, and evacuated the crowd to a safe passage.

Hearing this, Xiao Shi picked up Zhao Zijun and asked, "Then what do you do!!"

Jiang Juan was so busy removing the bomb from Chen Qing's body that he didn't have time to answer his question...or he didn't intend to answer it at all.

"Fuck, why are you tied so tightly!"

"Don't waste your efforts, Officer Jiang, it's useless."

With a sad face, Chen Qing pushed Jiang Juan away, took a few steps back, and raised his hand to the EOD team who rushed to the scene, signaling them not to approach.

"I didn't intend to live at all, I died when I died, you guys go away, don't be dragged down by me, it's not worth your life..."

He couldn't make a sound, and wiped the snot and tears on his face, "Officer Jiang, I beg you for one thing, before you die... It doesn't matter whether you said those words just to save people, Can you tell me the truth now? Was Ji Yin killed by Ye Mingxiao?"

Everyone watched the countdown with just over one minute left, and their hearts hung in their throats.

After Xiao Shi dragged Zhao Zijun to the exit of the safe passage, he handed him over to the team in charge of the response. When he came back to hold Jiang Juan, he heard Chen Qing asking this.

"No. They..."

Jiang Juan's voice was a little hoarse because of his nervousness, "...very in love. Chen Qing, you have been lied to for too long, you should know the truth, and you must not be reconciled to dying like this, so let us help you, Stop backing away!"

Chen Qing nodded in relief, "Thank you, I hated the wrong person and avenged the wrong person, how can there be such a stupid person in this world... Thank you for your kindness, but it is useless, there is a sensor in the bomb, It will explode immediately if it is disassembled, you better go!"

Facing the threat of death, fear is instinct and nature.

However, at this moment, no one flinched.

They will persist until the last second to save this poor man, which is their bounden duty.

There are 50 seconds left on the countdown.

The EOD team leader in the explosion-proof suit said to Jiang Juan: "Deputy Jiang, please retreat and leave the rest to us."

With a countdown of 40 seconds, everyone knew that the possibility of a miracle happening was very small. The deputy team leader ordered the team members to take Jiang Juan and Xiao Shi to evacuate quickly. There were loud bangs.

The sound frightened everyone, the EOD police threw Jiang Juan to the ground, and then everyone realized that it was a gunshot!

Amid the roar of the EOD team leader, they saw a special policeman shoot and blow up the high-rise glass, and then seized the countdown that was already approaching single-digit seconds, and jumped out of the shattered window with the man in their arms. !

The broken glass was completely shattered under the violent impact, and the two entangled and knocked out of the sky, and no one had time to react.

Immediately afterwards, there was a deafening loud noise, which caused the building they were in to vibrate. The scalding gale mixed with glass shards rushed towards their faces, and the power of the explosion was no less than that of a bullet.

The wind swept through the entire floor, papers and dust were scattered all over the sky. It was a devastating disaster.

The EOD team wore EOD suits, and there was still some distance from the place where the explosion occurred. But for Jiang Juan and Xiao Shi, who were unprotected, if they were hit by debris, the damage might be fatal. of.

At the critical moment, Xiao Shi didn't care too much, held down Jiang Juan, who was about to get up, and desperately pushed him to the ground, protecting him with his body.

After the explosion, everyone was so shocked that their brains went blank, their ears buzzed, and they couldn't recover for a while.

Jiang Juan was the first to recover. His first reaction when he opened his eyes was to confirm whether Xiao Shi was injured, and he tentatively touched the man's back with both hands.

Xiao Shi's soul also slowly returned to its place. He raised his head to look at Jiang Juan, and rubbed his finger against a cut scratch on the corner of his eye with distressed eyes.

"Does it hurt?"

Jiang Juan shook his head, stood up carefully, and helped Xiao Shi sit up.

Fortunately, there was a pillar in front of where they were, blocking the air waves and debris from the explosion, and no serious injuries were caused. However, in order to pull Jiang Juan into the bunker, Xiao Shi was exposed to danger for a few seconds, and his flesh and blood were injured. There were not many injuries, like being tied into a hedgehog. When I opened the shirt to see, some fragments had already been embedded under the skin.

"It's not serious, there's no need to deal with it now, we'll go to the hospital later."

Xiao Shi held onto Jiang Juan's hand tightly.

Jiang Juan understood that he didn't want himself to face such a tragic scene.

"Let me check it out, soon...I'll be back soon."

After that, he got up, stumbled towards the gap in the window, poked his head out, and saw the horrible scene.

The explosion was so powerful that dozens of floors below their location were affected. One-third of the building was destroyed, the concrete and steel bars were exposed, and the huge gap made the entire building a dangerous building.

In the CBD square, many policemen near the Ye's building were affected. The appearance of ruins everywhere aroused the deep fear in Jiang Juan's heart, and he was dazzled for a while, and fell down by the French window.

Xiao Shi who followed hurriedly supported him.

After experiencing the explosion, there were more or less adverse reactions after the impact. Xiao Shi felt as if his internal organs had been displaced, his ears were buzzing, and his whole body was aching. After walking for a few steps, he stood up. Unable to get up, he knelt down straight, and said to the EOD police who hurriedly came to help him: "Take him down...it's too dangerous here, don't let him stay here..."

The EOD team cooperated very tacitly, set up Xiao Shi and Jiang Juan on one left and one on the right, and moved from the safe passage to the ground. Fortunately, the fire caused by the explosion did not affect this escape route.

At this time, the police had notified the fire emergency support of the whole city of Yanxi, and evacuated irrelevant personnel. When they left the building, the people within a radius of 200 meters were all cleared away.

Jiang Xun was also injured, but he didn't even bother to smear the blood on his head. He organized the police to evacuate the people in the buildings next door. He walked up to him and asked, "What's the matter, are there any casualties? I can't contact you after the explosion. I'm going to die of anxiety!"

Jiang Juan shook his head, and the EOD team leader said on his behalf: "Deputy Jiang and this police officer are unprotected and injured. It is best to send them to the hospital for examination now. All members of the EOD team have evacuated, and we will assist the scene Carry out follow-up hazard elimination."

Jiang Xun yelled at Di Zhen, and Di Zhen, who was contacting the first aid, made an "OK" gesture to him.

He turned around and said, "Thanks for your hard work. You were very close when the explosion happened. It is best to go to the hospital for an examination together. I will contact the EOD team at the scene. Safety is the most important thing!"

The two sides made a unified plan, and Jiang Xun continued to be busy directing the scene. After contacting the emergency department and the city bureau, Di Zhen ran over to look at the two resting on the roadside bench, and said with concern: "Are you all okay, are you injured? ?”

Xiao Shi touched the blood smeared on his back, "Flesh wounds, it's a trivial matter."

As he said that, he went to hug Jiang Juan again, "How are you?"

"...It's okay." Jiang Juan seemed to have just recovered, and raised his head to ask Di Zhen: "Who is that person who fell with Chen Qing? Have you found it?"

Di Zhen hesitated to speak, with a dignified expression, wondering whether to speak or not.

Seeing his faltering, Jiang Juan knew that the person who had the accident was probably someone he and Xiao Shi knew.

There is one and only one person with such an identity, and he doesn't dare to think about it at all. The question is completely hoping to get a completely different answer from the other party.

"...Say it."

Di Zhen lowered his head and advised, "Brother Jiang, I'm not sure yet, don't... don't feel bad."

He took a deep breath and said with all his strength: "Currently, there is only one person in the special police team who cannot be contacted, and that is the team leader company responsible for the rescue."

Jiang Juan lowered his head and closed his eyes. He had expected such a possibility, but he still couldn't accept it.

Lian Xiao, the one of the few people who accompanied him through his two years of college life and witnessed his true self, also left him.

Xiao Shi worried about his mood and struggled: "It's just that I can't get in touch, and I can't be sure that it's him. Besides..."

The language was so weak, he didn't even know what words to use to comfort Jiang Juan.

He understands everything, understands everything, lives transparently and soberly, and can't even deceive himself, how can others deceive him?

"Don't deceive yourself, no matter if he fell from a high altitude or was affected by an explosion, he will not survive." Jiang Juan said, "The building has been blown up beyond recognition, can you expect him to survive in flesh and blood? There is hope for human beings." , but not too naively."

He rubbed his swollen eyes, and when he heard the ambulance approaching, he pulled Xiao Shi to stand up, and said to Di Zhen, "You have to watch Xiao Xun, don't make him work too hard, remember to contact Song Yuzhi. First, first." Take Xiao Shi to the hospital."

Di Zhen nodded, anxiously wanting to say something else, but Jiang Juan had already dragged him away.

The two got into the ambulance without saying a word. Xiao Shi's back was stabbed like a sieve by the explosion fragments, and he couldn't lie down at all. He could only sit face to face with Jiang Juan in the narrow compartment.

The doctor treated Xiao Shi's wound and carefully asked him what was wrong, and Xiao Shi answered them one by one.

After that, it fell into a dead silence, and the air seemed to be stagnant.

Xiao Shi couldn't bear the silence, so he still grabbed Jiang Juan when he got off the car, rubbed him into his arms, stroked his head like smoothing the fur of a small animal, and whispered in his ear: "I know If you are sad, cry out if you are sad, and you will feel better."

"I don't want to cry that much."

Jiang Juan let him hug her obediently, without venting hysteria, as if accepting the reality very calmly.

"I am used to the departure of people around me. Even if I cry, it may not be sad for the loss of life, but just pity myself who has been left behind."

He felt helpless and at a loss, "Am I too selfish and cold-blooded?"

"No." Xiao Shi's fingertips passed over the scar beside his eyes, and kissed his eyes, "If one day, I unfortunately walk in front of you, I hope you don't shed a single tear for me. Don't feel sorry for me, and don't feel sorry for yourself. I don't want you to be sad."

"Did you think of something so far away?" Jiang Juan was a little surprised.

"Yeah, if I can, I hope I can walk after you. You have been left behind too many times. It is cruel to live alone. Whether you accept me or not, I hope I can be your resistance to loneliness. shield. If I can walk behind you, you can trust me to leave all your worries to me, and leave the loneliness you fear to me."

Jiang Juan was surprised by Xiao Shi's words, and looked at him with puzzled eyes.

When he wanted to ask, the nurse rushed over, "You two, the examination can start, please follow me."

In order to save time, the examinations of the two were all staggered. Xiao Shi had to deal with the wound, which was delayed for a while. When he came out of the treatment room, he saw Jiang Juan who had finished treating the wound earlier than him, sitting on the bench in the corridor, waiting for him .

Like a wounded animal, with a medical cloth on his face and an air-conditioning blanket given by the nurse, he stepped on the edge of the chair, shrunk himself into a ball, and stared at the phone without saying a word.

Xiao Shi moved closer and found that he was watching the screen recording of the live broadcast.

Xiao Shi hugged him across the blanket, kissed the wet temple hair around his ears, "Don't look."

"It's up to you, if you don't look at it, you will find something suspicious."

Jiang Juan raised his head and stretched his sore neck.

"Suspicious? What did you find?"

Jiang Juan tapped on the screen with his bruised finger, "Chen Qing's mobile phone was broadcasting live until before the explosion, and it happened to record the process of him being pushed out of the window. First of all, Lian Xiao--just pretend he is Lian Xiao Right—when the EOD team leader was trying to defuse the bomb on Chen Qing, he suddenly rushed out and shot and smashed the window glass behind Chen Qing. The window was four or five meters behind Chen Qing, and he didn't choose to move closer to the side The window for Chen Qing should be to protect the EOD team leader."

The design of Ye's Building is that every floor is made of huge glass as the outer wall, and there is no situation of being blocked, but if Lian Xiao had chosen side glass at that time, even if the explosion occurred after the two fell, the nearest row The team leader may also be injured.

Jiang Juan fixed the video at a few seconds before the two fell from the building. At that time, the bomb panel on Chen Qing's body showed that there were only seven seconds left in the countdown. No matter who watched it, Lian Xiao chose to sacrifice himself to protect others. It's all about love.

Xiao Shi stared at the screen and suddenly noticed something unusual.

"Smoke..." he said, "At this time, Chen Qing and Lian Xiao have not fallen from the building, and the bomb has not been detonated, but there is smoke."

He pointed at the two people who were entangled together, and it was not difficult to see that there was a stream of white smoke behind Chen Qing, as if it was erupted from something.

"It's a smoke bomb." Jiang Juan said, "Lian Xiao hugged Chen Qing with a smoke bomb. We didn't have time to react. At that time, we were attracted by the gunshots and couldn't find this detail. The two fell from the building Then there was an explosion, and the dust and smoke produced were mixed together and blown away by the wind. If there were no live video to play back, I am afraid no one would know what happened at that time."

He emphasized: "There is another detail that other people don't know. When I was acting with Chen Qing, I reversed the direction of his cell phone, and the position of the camera was shifted, which just happened to capture the scene of the two of them falling from the building. If According to the previous direction, that window is just outside the dead corner."

"Do you think it's not a coincidence that Lian Xiao chose to jump out of that window?"

Jiang Juan shook his head and said tiredly: "I don't know. I just told my findings. The details depend on the on-site investigation. This matter can be explained by coincidence and that he wanted to protect other people. As for the smoke bomb, It may also be to limit the resistance of the petition to a certain extent, and I don’t want to doubt him until there is progress in the search for evidence.”

Jiang Juan rubbed his aching temple and asked him, "How is your injury? Is it important? Do you need to stay in the hospital for observation?"

"No, it's just a flesh wound. The only effect is that you can only sleep on your stomach before the wound heals." Xiao Shi grinned, "Do you love me?"

"... a little bit." Jiang Juan showed his softness, "Why don't you stay in the hospital for observation overnight and let you go home alone, I don't feel relieved."

"Alone?" Xiao Shi asked suspiciously, "Why are you alone? Where are you going?"

Jiang Juan sighed deeply, and looked towards the end of the deep corridor, "Lian Xiao is gone, someone has to tell his family the sad news. If it was me, maybe I could be more tactful."

Xiao Shi didn't stop Jiang Juan, and even offered to go with him.

He was very worried about Jiang Juan's current state, and he didn't dare to go far. After greeting the police, he drove Jiang Juan to Lian Xiao's house.

Before that, Jiang Juan took over Jiang Zhu's identity and had to cut off contact with Lian Xiao. Even after returning to Yanxi, the two of them just met and nodded to say hello, not so close that he would take the initiative To ask the extent of the other party's residence, so the bureau needs to help him read Lian Xiao's files to find his address and parents' contact information.

When Bai Jiaojiao sent back the news, it happened that Gao Bureau also called in. The other party should have arrived at the scene, and the background was in chaos.

Gao Ju was worried about the two, and after asking about their injuries, he told them to recuperate in the hospital.

Jiang Juan said, "Gao Ju, I have something to ask you. What happened to Lian Xiao, can you not tell his family?"

He paused, and then said: "This is too difficult for his parents to accept. It might be better for me to say it."

Gao Ju sighed: "Lian Xiao's father died of illness a few years ago, and now he lives with his mother. Just now I had someone contact his mother, but the phone has not been connected yet, and I am trying to get someone to come. Are you sure you want to go?" ?"

"Yes, I'm sure, I'm on my way now."

Gao Ju reluctantly agreed to his request, Jiang Juan thanked him, and gave Xiao Shi the address.

Yiyuan Community is located in the center of Beiyan District, more than ten kilometers away from Yanxi Municipal Bureau. The location is a bit remote and the transportation is not very convenient. The only advantage is that it is a new building a few years ago, and the environment is quiet, which is more suitable for the elderly to live in.

Every time Lian Xiao goes to and from the Municipal Bureau, he has to take the bus twice to the subway and then walk a certain distance. A colleague once asked him, "Why did you choose that place? What a waste of time."

He said with a smile: "After my father left, my mother lived in the old house and saw things and thought about others. I couldn't see her suffering. The conditions were not good before, the old house was cold and damp, and the old man fell ill. It is best to live in the old house In a better new house, it happens to be a finished house that has just been built for a little over a year, and there is no formaldehyde, which saves me from decorating."

In order to honor his mother, he would rather toss a little more every day, and hope that the old man will live comfortably.

But now, all comfort was broken by this sudden accident.

Jiang Juan leaned back in his chair and stared at the scenery absently, and suddenly broke the silence.

"Mr. Lu Xun said that Chinese people always like to reconcile and compromise. I think this is true."

Xiao Shi glanced at him.

He said: "When I was in school, Lian Xiao always said that people are mortal, and he would like to be a martyr, but I think that the best destination for a person is to die without disease or disaster. To this day, I still feel that I am the same as a 'traitor'. Compared with this status, it is better to be a martyr."

"Are you really suspicious of him?"

"I'd rather be thinking too much." Jiang Juan looked at the sterilized scratches on the back of his hands that were stained dark with iodine, and said helplessly, "I can find countless excuses to cover up his abnormal behavior. , can also make him a real martyr, but I hope that everything I do for him will at least be worthy of my own conscience."

Xiao Shi parked on the side of the road and pulled him towards him, kissing the tip of his nose.

"It's here, do you want to slow down?"

"No, his mother can't find her son, so it's time to worry."

The two showed their IDs to the security guard of the property, explained their intentions, and walked towards Lian Xiao's residence.

Jiang Juan said on the road: "My temperament is not very pleasing. When I was young, I was bored and cowardly. I could only let go of my temper with familiar people. I never said a word in front of strangers. When I grow up, I will be better. I have spoken, but I am not very close, so I have not many friends. My brother is afraid that I will be bullied, so he often goes to our class and dormitory to pretend to be me, play cards and chat with people, share some snacks to gain popularity, and help me get married. A lot of friends."

Xiao Shi smiled, "It's his temper."

"I only studied in college for two years. Later, my roommates all knew the secret. My brother was very welcome to play with them, and I made an agreement with him to protect my brother. Lian Xiao was the most active one. I was afraid that I would feel that I was left out. Lonely, you always take me with you wherever you go, and drag me to the cafeteria to eat, but you want me to get out of bed and walk around, and don't even sleep late."

Xiao Shi "poof" laughed, "Then he is really courageous, I dare not provoke you just because you are so angry."

"Only people who are close to me can get angry. I think it's rude to be angry with someone I don't know well, so I haven't been ashamed to tell him the truth. Later, I confirmed the relationship with Xiao Xun, and he just wanted to save time for us. , a little further away from me."

"It may also be to avoid suspicion."

Maybe Lian Xiao had feelings for Jiang Juan at that time, and having an agreement with Jiang Juan made it easier for him to get close to that person.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, he doesn't have that kind of thought for me. Maybe he just doesn't like you and wants to make you unhappy."

Xiao Shi said yes, but his heart was like a mirror.

Men are very sensitive to the radar of rivals in love, and dogs don't believe that Lian Xiao is just protecting Jiang Juan.

However, Jiang Juan was too slow about this, and never felt that Lian Xiao had any special thoughts for him. This made Xiao Shi very distressed in the past period of time, and he really wanted to solve the current situation where his wife's status was always threatened. .

But in the end, God used the most unacceptable method.

"I didn't like this way of getting along very much back then. I always felt that it was a shame to be treated as an object that needed protection. No matter what, I still want to believe that Lian Xiao's original intention for doing this was out of goodwill."

After he finished speaking, he knocked on the door of Lian Xiao's house.

Thinking that the old man might be inconvenient, the two waited for a while, but after half a day, there was not even the slightest sound coming from inside.

Jiang Juan winked at Xiao Shi, and knocked on the door again. The latter cooperated with him and stuck to the door panel, listening to the movement inside.

"……no one?"

"hold on."

It happened that the cleaning staff of the property passed by at this time, saw the two people waiting outside the door, and said enthusiastically, "Young man, are you here to find this family?"

"Yes Auntie, do you know when they will be back?"

"It may be very late. The young man who lives in this house is a policeman. He is very busy with work, and sometimes he doesn't go home when he is busy. Just call him before you come."

The two looked at each other and realized that something was wrong at the same time.

Jiang Juan asked again, "Does he live alone?"

"Yes, alone, what a pity. The young man with such good conditions is young and handsome, and he is tall. He doesn't even have a girlfriend. I want to introduce my sister's daughter to him."

The more I listened, the more I felt something was wrong.

Jiang Juan thanked the cleaner, and after the cleaner left, he took off the pin from the cuff, straightened it and poked it into the keyhole.

Xiao Shi tacitly blocked him with his body, and said coolly, "I don't know whether I should complain that you are fine with a pin or that the new building does not need a combination lock."

"What kind of lock does the neighbor's house have?"

Xiao Shi looked around, "...combined lock?"

"The finished houses are usually uniformly decorated by the property management. If they are different from others, it proves that his door locks have been changed by himself. Lian Xiao has always been cautious. Compared with electronic locks that extract fingerprints, this is still more secure."

Xiao Shi watched helplessly as the "safe" door lock bounced open with a "snap" in Jiang Juan's hand.

The door opened slowly, and the two of them peeped inward for a while, seeing nothing unusual, and then entered the door.

This is a two-bedroom house, only seventy to eighty square meters, enough for two people to live in, but if Lian Xiao marries a wife and has children in the future, it will be difficult to live with his mother again.

Xiao Shi turned around and felt that something was wrong, "This is not quite like the house type that adult men bought for their parents and themselves."

"Is there a possibility that Lian Xiao's savings were only enough to buy such a large house when he bought the house?" Jiang Juan speculated, "Lian Xiao is a relatively conservative person. He doesn't use any wealth management products and doesn't have a credit card. I feel like I owe money, so I may not take out a loan to buy a house. Thinking about it, he bought this house after his father passed away. It is very likely that he sold his parents’ old house, plus his savings for this house, and he will pay any more. Great."

"It is rare to see such a conservative young man in modern times.
