Don't move the old man's bounty
Chapter 182 Going Away
The two chatted about Chi Qing's death in the bombing, and they talked about Ye Jia and Ji Yin along the way.
Xiao Shi asked: "In Ji Yin's case, his nominal wife Zhang Wanning is a very intriguing existence. Ji Yin has been helping her, but she has done a lot of things to harm Ji Yin intentionally or unintentionally. What do you think she is? Where is it?"
"It doesn't count either way, I'm just a poor person." Jiang Juan said lightly, "Put you in her position, between Ji Yin's guidance, Ye Shi's bewitching and parents' coercion, you may not be able to make a move." The right choice, don't be too harsh on her. At this point, she paid the price for what she did, so don't use the victim's guilt to kidnap her morally."
Xiao Shi leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Jiang Er, your heart is so soft, I love you even more."
"Don't bite my ear, do you want to drive in dangerously and squat for a few days?"
Xiao Shi refused to let go, insisted on biting his ear, leaving a shallow tooth mark before giving up.
On the way, he also muttered: "Tired, when these cases are resolved, let's find a place to shoot arrows."
When it came to archery, the man's eyes changed slightly, as if the brilliance was ignited, and then quickly dimmed.
He said, "Okay."
After chatting for a while, Jiang Juan's cell phone that had just been charged rang. Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, Jiang Juan gave the phone to Xiao Shi, and concentrated on driving.
The man picked up and listened to a few words, then said to Jiang Juan, "Jian, pull over and stop."
Jiang Juan didn't wear a hearing aid, so he couldn't hear what the other person said, and he was still a little confused.
Xiao Shidao: "Let's change seats, and you will be the co-driver." After speaking, he got out of the car.
After the two changed positions, Xiao Shi said softly: "Jian, I have something to tell you, you must hold on."
Jiang Juan was puzzled, what could have caused him to panic like this.
Immediately afterwards, as soon as the man opened his mouth, a heavy blow hit him.
Xiao Shi's voice was hoarse and extremely heavy, "Tired, Yunxi is critically ill, I will take you...I will take you to see her for the last time."
Jiang Juan's expression seemed to freeze, and he was in a daze for a long time without returning to his senses.
He still maintained that slight sideways movement towards Xiao Shi, waiting for him to speak, but like a frozen statue, he was unable to speak for a long time.
After driving a long way, he asked, "...how could it be? Why is it so sudden, she's still so young..."
All questioning is meaningless, Death never needs any reason to choose his prey, he has always understood this.
But... why is it that the person he cares about and cherishes is stared at by death again and again?What did he do wrong to be punished like this?
"how come……"
"A few days ago, she was not in a good state. She wanted to see you. When she heard that you were caught up in the case, she said sensiblely that she would not bother you and meet you when she recovered. Today she suddenly lost consciousness. , the body organs are starting to fail... I'm afraid, I can't make it through."
Jiang Juan bit his finger, resisting the hot tears that filled his eyes, and asked in a very soft voice: "Can you drive faster?"
"it is good."
Xiao Shi brushed the edge of speeding and rushed all the way to the hospital.
Jiang Juan's condition was not very good, his legs were obviously weak when he got off the car, Xiao Shi came to help him, but he shook his head politely.
"I'm fine... fine."
That being said, he couldn't walk anymore, like a lost child who couldn't find his way.
Xiao Shi led him, took him upstairs step by step, and found Yunxi's ward. When he opened the door and entered, Yunxi's mother and the doctors and nurses who took care of her were there.
Jiang Juan stood at the door, a little helpless, Xiao Shi pushed him, and he came back to his senses, walked to the hospital bed, held Yun Xi's hand, and said softly: "Yun Xi, I'm here to see you. "
He seemed to be afraid of waking up, and also afraid that Yunxi would really sleep like this, so he called her name gently beside the pillow.
Yun Xi, who was already in a deep coma, was weak and couldn't hear his voice, let alone open his eyes to look at him and smile sweetly at him.
Jiang Juan regretted endlessly, "I'm sorry, I said I would take you out to have a look, but I broke my promise. Brother Juan is a bad person, can you... can you wake up and give me a chance to apologize?"
Yunxi's mother rushed out of the ward covering her mouth, and the soft-hearted nurse also wiped away her tears.
Jiang Juan originally thought that when facing parting, he would be eager to say a thousand words, but he didn't expect that the words that he had drafted countless times in his heart would be so difficult to say, and he was silent for a long time, unable to speak.
Seeing his distraught but unable to vent his grief, Xiao Shi felt uncomfortable in his heart.
He stroked the girl's soft hair, pinched the mouth of her chick pajamas as usual, and said goodbye to her softly.
"Little girl, have a good sleep. I hope you wake up from this dream without any more pain."
He touched the girl's cold forehead, "Good night, Yunxi."
Not long after he finished speaking, the electrocardiograph issued a piercing alarm, and the girl's pulse did not fluctuate any longer, and returned to the front line.
Another farewell separated by death.
Yun Xi, good night.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Juan sat on the steps in front of the inpatient department, lowering his head, wondering what he was thinking.
Xiao Shi pinched the cigarette out of his mouth and gave him a cup of hot milk, but the man had no appetite, his lips were so dry that he refused to take a sip.
"Be obedient, you haven't eaten all night, and you can't hold on like this. I'll break a biscuit for you and eat some."
Seeing that the man was still in low spirits, Xiao Shi persuaded: "Yunxi will be sad seeing you like this, think about how you coaxed her to eat before, you understand those principles, how can you not think about it when you change it to yourself?" Understood."
"I can't figure it out..." Jiang Juan sighed, "How could I figure it out...I'm afraid I won't be able to understand the matter of life and death in my whole life."
Xiao Shi took a bag of biscuits, broke them into small pieces and fed them to Jiang Juan.
The man forced himself to eat a few mouthfuls, but finally couldn't eat anymore, Xiao Shi didn't force him.
"Yunxi's mother said that her funeral was actually prepared a few months ago. The doctor said that she might not survive those few weeks. Later, she met you and rekindled her hope of living, so she can persist until now. .”
He embraced Jiang Juan, kissed the center of his brow, moved down slowly, stopped at the tip of his nose, and rubbed gently, as if trying to warm his cold body.
"The matter of life and death is the most insurmountable obstacle in the world. Those who are left behind are always suffering, but conversely, for those who leave, it may also be a kind of relief."
"I know that my brother and Yunxi were in pain before they left. Such relief may not be wrong for them, but the pain brought to the living is as long-lasting as tearing. Just think of the pain they felt when they left. There is reluctance and nostalgia in this world, so I just..."
The language is too weak, Xiao Shi knows that he will need a long time to try to accept the reality, and he is unwilling to force him.
"I'm still here, I'm with you."
"……Um."
Only then did Jiang Juan raise his head, gulped down the milk, picked up the cigarette butts on the ground one by one, and coughed a few times.
His voice was almost inaudible: "Don't worry about me too much. I don't have a deep relationship with her. I don't feel bad."
There is no silver 300 taels here.
If it's really not uncomfortable, why bother to explain it?
He was amused by his deceitful behavior, and he shed tears while smiling, covering his forehead with one hand, covering his eyes, and hiding his ugly crying.
Xiao Shi kissed his palm and comforted him: "She met you when her life was about to end. It was not your fault that she left, but it was her luck to know you."
"... When will she leave?"
Jiang Juan pinched the tip of his nose, trying to suppress the spreading sourness.
Xiao Shi said: "Tomorrow. Her mother doesn't want her daughter to sleep in the cold funeral home for too long, so we can go see her off."
"Then you...wake me up early tomorrow."
After saying this, Jiang Juan leaned on Xiao Shi's shoulder, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Xiao Shi thought that he was just trying to escape from everything in front of him, and shut himself up for a while, but he didn't expect that he would actually fall asleep like this, and he was unconscious when he was carried into the car, and he still didn't wake up after he changed his clothes and put him on the bed. .
It was rare for him to sleep so deeply. Looking at his sleeping face, Xiao Shi stroked his head and realized that he was really tired.
After touching it a few times, strands of hair caught between his fingers.
Xiao Shi tidied up those broken hairs patiently, and continued to comb his hair, but he became more and more frightened.
Jiang Juan lost far more hair than usual, and there were a lot of dry strands left on the pillow, all of which were broken at the root.
This is not a good sign.
Xiao Shi put away those hairs, thinking about attending Yunxi's funeral tomorrow, so he took him for a full body checkup.
He knew that Jiang Juan had something to hide from him, but the man refused to say it, and he couldn't force him to speak.
"Jiang Er, you, you, when will you be willing to share your secret with me..."
In the silence, Xiao Shi muttered to himself.
Xiao Shi applied for a long vacation to the High Bureau for Jiang Juan, and the old director who was exhausted by the bombing asked, "What about you?"
"I……"
Xiao Shi turned his head to look at the person beside the pillow who was sleeping deeply, and made a decision in an instant.
"Gao Ju, today and tomorrow, I will hand over the letter of resignation to the Municipal Bureau. Thank you for taking care of me during this time."
Gao Ju sighed helplessly, remained silent for a long time, and finally agreed to his request.
Xiao Shi lowered his head and kissed Jiang Juan's nose.
He couldn't remember when he started to have this habitual action, but at this moment he understood the reason why he had this intimate action.
Since he came back, he found that Jiang Juan's body temperature was lower than that of ordinary people, and he was also very sensitive to temperature changes. Often a gust of wind would make him shiver, and the tip of his nose was always cool.
The protective desire in his bones was aroused, and he couldn't help wanting to warm him up, and it became a natural habit over time.
"I really want to find a place to hide you well..."
Jiang Juan fell asleep all night, but Xiao Shi was sleepless all night.
When the sky was about to dawn, Kyle seemed to have a premonition and called Xiao Shi restlessly.
"I just had a nightmare."
The blond man with his muscular upper body bare, opened the floor-to-ceiling windows and stood by the balcony, watching the crescent moon with its fading brilliance.
"Dreams are many and very complicated. I dreamed that I failed to save Ah Juan, and watched him vomit blood in my arms, dying in peace. I dreamed that Ah Zhu asked me why I didn't protect his younger brother with deep wounds visible all over his body. .I can't answer...I still have lingering fears until now, and I am anxious to confirm his situation, should he be all right?"
Xiao Shi also tiptoed to the balcony and said in a low voice, "It's fine now, but I'm not sure about the future. So, I want to take him away."
Kyle said helplessly: "My friend, I can understand your feelings, but you have to know that taking him away is a dead end, and we can't save him."
It was also painful for Kyle to tell the truth.
"I'm afraid there are only two people in this world who can save him. Unfortunately, it's not you and me."
One, Bailishu.One, Shen Jinsu.
The former is powerful and unintentional, and the latter is powerless.
"Tired, wake up, it's time to get up."
Xiao Shi whispered in Jiang Juan's ear, but no surprise, the man didn't respond at all.
He pinched Jiang Juan's face and called out a few more times, but the other party was still motionless. He was a little anxious, so he pushed Jiang Juan a little harder, and the man finally opened his eyes.
Jiang Juan looked at his face from blurred to clear in confusion, and asked blankly, "What are you going to do today...?"
"I want to send Yunxi off. Get up, I'll help you prepare your clothes, get up and have a meal, and we'll go out."
Jiang Juan turned sideways with the quilt in his arms, moaned in a low voice, as if he couldn't get up again.
He hadn't stayed in bed like this for a long time, and usually sat on the bed with his messy hair in a daze for a while, most of the time he got up earlier than Xiao Shi.
This rare sight reminded Xiao Shi of when he was living in Jiang's house when he was a student. Every weekend, Jiang Zhu who got up early in the morning and made breakfast would always open the curtains of their room mercilessly, and the morning light would shine into the bedroom. If they were forced to wake up, Jiang Juan would moan and rub the quilt, begging his brother to let him sleep a little longer.
Jiang Zhu couldn't stand his acting like a baby, and he couldn't stand being begged a few times, so he could only compromise.
At that time, although I always couldn't sleep all night, and could only fall asleep when the night was over, I still always woke up when Jiang Zhu drew the curtains.
He wasn't too tired at first, but seeing Jiang Juan rolling around on the bed like a lazy cat, he just wanted to spend as much time with him as possible, even if he had already sat up, he would lazily lie down , Said: "Azhu, I'm sleepy too, I don't remember..."
At first Jiang Zhu would look at him lying on top of his younger brother in astonishment, but later he got used to it or understood it. In short, this kind of thing happened once or twice every weekend. Jiang Zhu patiently reheated the food after they woke up.
Xiao Shi stroked Jiang Juan's head huddled under the quilt, and kissed his earlobe, "Get up, we'll come back early, let you go to bed early."
Both of them put on black formal clothes, ate breakfast without food and hurried out the door.
Jiang Juan was speechless all the way, staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze, Xiao Shi called him a few times, but he ignored him.
He really didn't hear it.
In this way, he arrived at the destination in a daze, was dragged into the farewell hall by Xiao Shi, attended the funeral numbly, bid farewell to the corpse calmly as many times before, and shook hands with the bereaved family.
His hands were so cold, as cold as ice.
Yun Xi's mother's eyes were red and swollen, and with her husband's support, she stumbled and caught up with Jiang Juan walking away quickly.
"Officer Jiang, wait a moment, please wait a moment."
Jiang Juan stopped, but didn't look back.
The woman pursed her lips and suppressed her crying, bowed deeply to him, and said with tears in her eyes, "I misunderstood you before and did something very rude to you. I'm really sorry. Thank you... for being willing to accompany Yun After walking the last part of the road, I think that what this mother did was unqualified. Because of selfishness, she chose to give up and left behind many regrets. Now that she is dead, I only hope that you, Officer Jiang, can come out as soon as possible and return to the The life you deserve."
The woman also bowed to Xiao Shi, "Mr. Xiao, I also thank you. Yunxi said that she likes Brother Tired and Brother Xiao the most, and hopes that after she leaves, the two brothers will be as happy as before. ...don't feel sorry for her..."
Jiang Juan lowered his head, pondered for a long time, finally turned around and asked, "What are you going to do next?"
Seeing his wife crying, the woman's husband wiped her tears and replied on her behalf: "I will choose a day for burial, and use the tombstone she wrote for herself according to her wishes."
The man handed over the phone. It was a photo of the tombstone that was about to be carved. The handwriting was very similar to Jiang Juan. He taught Yun Xi to write it by himself, but the name...is one more word?
"I don't know if Yunxi has told you about her not having a surname. At that time, she was very resentful that her mother refused to come to accompany her, so she simply said that she was an unwanted child and had no surname. Later, she begged her When my mother used her own characters as the tombstone, she forgave her and added her own surname, for this... I also want to thank you two."
No wonder the word is written crookedly, it doesn't look like it was written by a person.
Jiang Juan's frozen face finally evoked a smile, caressing the word that was very Yunxi's own style, smiled, and then cried.
Goodbye, kid.
Goodbye, Lan Yunxi.
After seeing off Yunxi, on the way back, Xiao Shi tentatively asked Jiang Juan if he would like to go to the hospital for a full-body examination. The excuse he used was perfunctory, saying that he got two coupons for the physical examination from Shen Guan, and it was not for nothing. .
Jiang Juan unexpectedly agreed, but with conditions, "Tomorrow, I have something to do today, so go home first."
Xiao Shi was still curious about what was going on, but Jiang Juan dug out a set of blood collection tools for him as soon as he got home.
"Duan Jingci needs to go back to his hometown to continue the drug research. I suspect that SS-01 may really be related to the Miao people's Gu poison. In order to ensure his progress, we must bring some samples back for him to study, so we smoke... ...just smoke 400cc."
He said rolling up his sleeves.
Xiao Shi rejected him without even thinking about it, "You are slightly anemic now, pulling out the 400cc will kill half your life, no no no! Besides, there is still Song Yuzhi here, you can't do it alone."
"I now suspect that the medicines injected into our two bodies are likely to be different. From the injection method, to the efficacy, to the side effects, it is unlikely to be exactly the same thing after ten years, so it must be provided to Duan Jingci. Two different samples."
Xiao Shi's face changed slightly, "...Did you guess something?"
"Maybe, if this continues, something will happen. We can't delay any longer. Duan Jingci has to find out the results as quickly as possible. I can only give him another month."
Jiang Juan looked relaxed, sat on the sofa, stretched out his hand to Xiao Shi, more docile than ever before, and smiled at him.
"I promise, for the next month, I will be honestly raised at home until Duan Jingci's research progresses, so you can rest assured."
Jiang Juan's behavior was so abnormal that Xiao Shi didn't believe his words.
It's just that Xiao Shi didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at this time, thinking that Jiang Juan had also noticed a series of physical changes including hair loss, and started to be afraid, so he was eager to find out the result.
After several rounds of bargaining, he still compromised, but under his insistence, he only took 100cc.
Jiang Juan watched the dark red blood slowly flow into the blood bag, and let out a long breath.
The blood is still warm, so in order to keep it fresh, it must be immediately sent to the laboratory for cryopreservation.
Xiao Shi was sent by Jiang Juan to deliver the goods to the door. Before leaving, he always felt that Jiang Juan was a little strange, so he actually walked him to the door and opened the door for him.
"Go early and come back early," Jiang Juan instructed.
Xiao Shi put his arms around him, pressed a kiss on his lips, nodded and said: "I'm leaving, make your favorite hot and sour soup at night, rest at home, and wait for me to come back."
"it is good."
At that time, Xiao Shi still felt that every married man enjoyed the reluctant farewell and morning kiss from his beloved wife before getting up early and going to work. .
How could he have imagined that the moment the door closed, all the tenderness in Jiang Juan's eyes disappeared in an instant, and the temperature dropped to freezing point, staring indifferently at the door that separated the two of them, and stood there for a long time.
I don't know how long it took before he said: "Idiot..."
After that, he turned and went back to the room, took off his formal clothes, found a black thin hoodie and black jeans from the depths of the closet, and put on black canvas shoes, a light suit.
He looked at himself in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, and remembered that he hadn't dressed so casually for a long time. The clothes were from his student days, with no extra decorations from head to toe, and a well-regulated fit. He wouldn't feel uncomfortable wearing them now. Rustic.
It's just that if I wear short sleeves now, the scars all over my body will be exposed.
He laughed bitterly at himself, and changed into a black long-sleeved sweater.
While rummaging in the closet, he saw the police uniform that was ironed perfectly but never dared to wear it on his body. His fingertips brushed over the thick fabric, full of emotion.
Hesitantly, he took off the siren, chest badge, and cap badge on the chest of the police uniform, and carefully put them in his backpack.
While searching for things, he found an exquisite small box in the bedside table, which he had never seen before, so he opened it out of curiosity.
Unexpectedly, this glance made his heart sink to the bottom.
——It turned out to be a pair of rings.
A pair of plain hoop rings with no frills.
Putting it here, maybe Xiao Shi planned to put it on his hand on a certain lingering night, taking advantage of the right atmosphere, and poured out his passionate love, hoping that he could stop forever.
At that time, Jiang Juan's mind was blank, and he mysteriously stuffed the jewelry box into his backpack, then packed the charger and his personal ID, put on a mask and went downstairs.
Xiao Tian heard the sound and walked over wagging his tail. Seeing Jiang Juan's outfit, he tilted his head and looked at him suspiciously.
Jiang Juan leaned down, patted its head, and fed it some dog food for the last time.
As if he had a premonition, Xiaotian looked at the untimely food in the basin uneasily, biting Jiang Juan's trouser leg, trying to keep him.
Jiang Juan took out a pen and paper, thought about it, and omitted many unnecessary farewell words, leaving only a short sentence: "Xiao Shi, let's break up."
After finishing writing, he felt that these words were ambiguous. He and Xiao Shi had never really been together, so why break up?
After deliberating, he tore off the page and threw it into the trash can, and wrote again: "Xiao Shi, let's part."
The handwriting is neat and neat, smooth and smooth, without any sloppiness, just like his long-planned long-planned departure this time.
He pulled away Xiaotian who was biting his shoelace, patiently re-laced his shoelace, rubbed Xiaotian's ear, and calmly persuaded: "Even if I'm not here, I still have to take care of them, you know?" ?”
Xiaotian looked at him worriedly.
"He looks bluffing, but he's just a child in his heart. You have to guard him for me and don't let others hurt him, you know?"
Xiaotian mourned and called out to him.
"And my brother, I have wronged him by sleeping here, but I really can't think of any place that is safer than here. You have to protect him, accompany him more for me, and please him. Maybe, he is not so Blame me."
Jiang Juan lowered his head and pressed against Xiaotian's head, his voice was as soft as a sigh: "Thank you, thank you."
After saying that, he got up, ignored the urgent screams behind him, went out cruelly, walked to the most blooming camellia tree, and hung the key of the house on the branch.
"Brother, I'm leaving."
The warm wind blows, and the key swings in the air, as if trying to keep people away.
Contrary to what I expected, when it was time to leave, I didn't say goodbye too much.
At this moment, Jiang Juan suddenly understood that the farewell he was looking forward to in his heart was so unknown that he didn't need to be noticed or remembered.
Just like the spring rain falling into the soil, it is silent and cannot be found, but it can moisten the earth and nourish new life.
In the next spring, those seeds that he and Xiao Shi planted will always survive.he thinks.
Just maybe, he can never see again.
"It's okay, I don't care about it." Jiang Juan murmured to himself.
Until now, he is still stubborn and refuses to admit that he cares.
In the coming year, the year after, and the year after that... There will always be someone guarding Xiao Shi for him, so why should he never forget it.
He took out his mobile phone, found a familiar name in the address book, and sent a message to the other party.
—Come out, I have something to tell you.
Yanxi City, Oscars.
This high-end bar located in the city center was shut down last year due to a murder case involving a drug-related scandal. It occupies the most prosperous area in the central city, but it has been closed for a long time, and it is out of tune with the surrounding lights.
To say the least, no one has been here for half a year. The tables and chairs are covered with thick layers of dust, and even the ambient lights have lost their original brilliance.
With his hands in his sweater pockets, Jiang Juan walked around into the empty bar through the back door, took a mobile phone to light up, and walked in the pitch-dark empty space. He found a power source by the wall and only turned on a few lights.
The dim light illuminated the whole space. Even if it was temporarily closed, the tables and chairs were still neatly arranged, which shows that the boss here is quite a well-behaved person.
Jiang Juan walked around the dance floor, walked slowly to the bar, washed the glass that no one had used for a long time, picked out a few bottles of wine that had been opened and would be wasted if not drunk, and made himself a glass of Long Island iced tea. After taking a bite, I felt that the taste was not enough, so I plugged in the power to the ice machine again.
He took the glass of wine and sat in the most conspicuous position under the stage with his back to the entrance, the spotlight was on top of his head, as if the entire arena was controlled by him.
He took out the police badge in his bag, held it in his palm fondly, stroked the uneven lines with his fingers, brought it to his lips, and kissed it lightly.
This is the relic of his father and brother, and he will never betray it.
no way.
The sound of heavy door hinges resounding through the empty hall, Jiang Juan knew that the person he was waiting for had arrived.
The person who came deliberately avoided the main entrance and jumped in from a remote window. He thought he would come early enough to get ready, but he didn't expect to run into someone sitting quietly under the stage as soon as he came in.
Taking advantage of the man's bad ears, Zhang Yongjun tiptoed over and was about to speak, but the man stepped forward and said: "Please bring the ice cubes from the ice machine, this wine cannot be drunk without ice."
Zhang Yongjun didn't succeed, so he shrugged regretfully, and had no choice but to follow what Jiang Juan said, and went to the bar to bring out an ice bucket, and poured out the frozen ice cubes from the ice machine.
Judging by how frozen these ice cubes are, that person should have come over immediately after sending a text message, not much earlier than him.
Zhang Yongjun put the ice bucket on the table next to Jiang Juan, sat across from him, and looked at Jiang Juan's abnormal attire today, "I wanted to talk to Deputy Jiang before, but you kept making excuses to refuse, what is the wind blowing today, How could you invite me yourself?"
Jiang Juan held ice cubes and put them into the cup one by one. Hearing this, he chuckled, "The stinking demon wind."
Zhang Yongjun's complexion became ugly.
"It's said that Shibie will look at you with admiration for three days. I haven't seen you for so long, but you haven't improved at all. If Huang Zhe knows, he can revive you."
Zhang Yongjun smiled stiffly and forcedly, "...What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Jiang Juan's tone was colder than that bucket of ice cubes, "You don't need to pretend in front of me, are you still afraid that I will record evidence? If I want to mess with you, you should be with Huang Zheliang, and you can still crawl Take today's seat? They are all sensible people, and time is precious, so don't beat around the bush."
Zhang Yongjun stopped pretending after hearing this, and asked with a sneer, "Then what advice did Deputy Jiang come to ask me for today?"
"I can't talk about teaching, but there are some things I want you to teach."
Jiang Juan touched the cold water droplets produced by the temperature difference on the wall of the cup with his fingertips, raised the cup to his lips, but stopped.
Zhang Yongjun stared at the dark wine in his glass, his eyes almost fell into it.
But Jiang Juan just refused to drink and put down the glass under his gaze.
Zhang Yongjun also realized that his reaction was too explicit, and coughed twice in embarrassment.
"Don't dare to take it seriously. With our friendship, Deputy Jiang can just say what he has to say. Don't worry too much, except..."
Except for some too sensitive and sharp topics.
But when Zhang Yongjun thought about it carefully, the topics he and Jiang Juan could talk about seemed to be very sensitive and sharp, which made it difficult to handle.
"I can not pursue the shot you fired at me, but there are conditions."
Jiang Juan rubbed his fingers against the rim of the cup and slowly turned it counterclockwise.
"I got some gossip. I heard that Team Zhang may know some secrets from many years ago. I wonder if Team Zhang would like to tell me?"
"you mean……"
"It happened 30 years ago. At that time, my father also served in the Changning Municipal Bureau. After I was transferred to Changning, the first thing I did was to investigate the case that led to my father's death. I happened to catch up with the good time. At that time, the Changning Municipal Bureau was also connected to the national public security system, and it was converting the old case files within 30 years into an electronic version in chronological order and uploading them to the entire system. Fortunately, when I transferred, the files of that case had already been transferred. It's basically finished, and I can even see who has read the dossier."
Zhang Yongjun was a little surprised, "But your position at that time should not have..."
"Of course I don't have permission, so I stole the old director's intranet account."
Zhang Yongjun: "..."
This man really dares to say it!
He bit the bullet and asked, "Then did you find any clues? Or did you find someone with suspicious access records?"
"No."
Zhang Yongjun was startled again, feeling speechless.
The one on the left is not, and the one on the right is not. What is this person trying to say?
"But that's the most suspicious thing, isn't it?" Jiang Juan asked back, "This case is very important to some people. With such a convenient way to retrieve it, as long as it is in the internal network environment of the public security system, it can be retrieved anytime, anywhere. It is unreasonable that no one can learn the details of the case that year. And my guess at the time can explain the reason for this situation.”
"... what guess?"
"The dossier is not complete, and details may even have been deleted. Even if the information on the intranet is retrieved, it is difficult to restore the truth. Then, a key person appeared-the clerk who entered the dossier into the system .”
When Zhang Yongjun heard this, cold sweat flowed down.
Seeing this, Jiang Juan smiled slightly, leaned closer to Zhang Yongjun, and blew at him across the table, "You know why I kept you until now."
"When... did you find out?"
Zhang Yongjun was so nervous that his tongue got stuck.
"A long time ago, not long after you entered the document as a trainee policeman, you hid back to school under the pretext of preparing your graduation thesis. A year later, you were transferred to the Changning Municipal Bureau with a formal establishment. Your life It was as smooth as opening and hanging, it made countless people red-eyed, and it also caught my attention. Zhang Yongjun, tell me what you are hiding."
Zhang Yongjun's eyes almost popped out, looking at Jiang Juan as if looking at a monster.
This person had been suspicious of him all those years ago, but he could bear it for ten years, and he was not found until today, how terrifying!
But he must not say that part of the key content, otherwise he will definitely not be able to get out of here alive!
Zhang Yongjun settled down, seeing that he couldn't hide it, he no longer concealed it, thinking of avoiding the serious and taking the light of it, he admitted it decisively.
"Yes, it is true that I sorted out the file and entered it into the public security system, but I just acted according to the rules. Whatever was written in the file, I recorded what was written in the file. There was neither addition nor deletion. When I had it in my hand, that case file was what it would eventually appear on the intranet."
Jiang Juan was not in a hurry to expose his lies, "Oh, is that so? Then can you tell me the ins and outs of that case?"
His hand went into the backpack, such a simple action made Zhang Yongjun nervous, subconsciously stood up and took a few steps back.
But the man didn't draw a gun to threaten, he just took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it, looking at him with some amusement.
Yu Card: "Why, are you afraid of becoming like this?"
Faced with the man's ridicule, Zhang Yongjun was furious, "No! Who is afraid of his grandson!"
Jiang Juan sneered, "Okay, since you're not afraid, then sit back and finish talking, I'll listen carefully."
He was playing with a metal lighter, which was scratched and badly damaged. It looked not only old, but also experienced a catastrophe.
Zhang Yongjun bit the bullet and sat back to the original place, recalling the whole story of the case.
In the early years, Jiang Xun joined the police in Changning. He was originally assigned to criminal investigation. Within half a year, a huge drug transportation case occurred in the province. Changning and Su'an jointly planned an anti-drug operation and wiped out a drug gang that had been active in the two places all year round. , but because a foreign force participated in this exchange of fire, it was seriously injured.
At that time, "17" was not decided by Bailishu and "SEVENTEEN", but its predecessor "Kunwa", a Golden Triangle drug cartel that was later annexed by Bailishu.
The policemen who participated in the operation suffered heavy casualties, and those who survived had to withdraw from the front line because of their severe injuries. At that time, there was a shortage of talents, and they had to be transferred from other departments and regions to fill the vacancies. It was at that time that Jiang Xun entered the drug control port.
"This is not a coincidence." Zhang Yongjun said, "'Kunwa' was the most powerful drug gang in the Golden Triangle at that time. Province X is located in the north and is close to Russia. It is called a "fortress" by them. Once it falls, their future business will be very good, and they will have meat to eat when they open their mouths. Therefore, they need to find work for them in Yanxi and Changning. suitable candidates."
Jiang Juan continued his words: "The first thing they pay attention to is the students who have not left the campus. They are young, outstanding, and may become rookies in the police force. They are the best nails to break into the police. At the same time, they lack social experience.
Xiao Shi asked: "In Ji Yin's case, his nominal wife Zhang Wanning is a very intriguing existence. Ji Yin has been helping her, but she has done a lot of things to harm Ji Yin intentionally or unintentionally. What do you think she is? Where is it?"
"It doesn't count either way, I'm just a poor person." Jiang Juan said lightly, "Put you in her position, between Ji Yin's guidance, Ye Shi's bewitching and parents' coercion, you may not be able to make a move." The right choice, don't be too harsh on her. At this point, she paid the price for what she did, so don't use the victim's guilt to kidnap her morally."
Xiao Shi leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Jiang Er, your heart is so soft, I love you even more."
"Don't bite my ear, do you want to drive in dangerously and squat for a few days?"
Xiao Shi refused to let go, insisted on biting his ear, leaving a shallow tooth mark before giving up.
On the way, he also muttered: "Tired, when these cases are resolved, let's find a place to shoot arrows."
When it came to archery, the man's eyes changed slightly, as if the brilliance was ignited, and then quickly dimmed.
He said, "Okay."
After chatting for a while, Jiang Juan's cell phone that had just been charged rang. Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, Jiang Juan gave the phone to Xiao Shi, and concentrated on driving.
The man picked up and listened to a few words, then said to Jiang Juan, "Jian, pull over and stop."
Jiang Juan didn't wear a hearing aid, so he couldn't hear what the other person said, and he was still a little confused.
Xiao Shidao: "Let's change seats, and you will be the co-driver." After speaking, he got out of the car.
After the two changed positions, Xiao Shi said softly: "Jian, I have something to tell you, you must hold on."
Jiang Juan was puzzled, what could have caused him to panic like this.
Immediately afterwards, as soon as the man opened his mouth, a heavy blow hit him.
Xiao Shi's voice was hoarse and extremely heavy, "Tired, Yunxi is critically ill, I will take you...I will take you to see her for the last time."
Jiang Juan's expression seemed to freeze, and he was in a daze for a long time without returning to his senses.
He still maintained that slight sideways movement towards Xiao Shi, waiting for him to speak, but like a frozen statue, he was unable to speak for a long time.
After driving a long way, he asked, "...how could it be? Why is it so sudden, she's still so young..."
All questioning is meaningless, Death never needs any reason to choose his prey, he has always understood this.
But... why is it that the person he cares about and cherishes is stared at by death again and again?What did he do wrong to be punished like this?
"how come……"
"A few days ago, she was not in a good state. She wanted to see you. When she heard that you were caught up in the case, she said sensiblely that she would not bother you and meet you when she recovered. Today she suddenly lost consciousness. , the body organs are starting to fail... I'm afraid, I can't make it through."
Jiang Juan bit his finger, resisting the hot tears that filled his eyes, and asked in a very soft voice: "Can you drive faster?"
"it is good."
Xiao Shi brushed the edge of speeding and rushed all the way to the hospital.
Jiang Juan's condition was not very good, his legs were obviously weak when he got off the car, Xiao Shi came to help him, but he shook his head politely.
"I'm fine... fine."
That being said, he couldn't walk anymore, like a lost child who couldn't find his way.
Xiao Shi led him, took him upstairs step by step, and found Yunxi's ward. When he opened the door and entered, Yunxi's mother and the doctors and nurses who took care of her were there.
Jiang Juan stood at the door, a little helpless, Xiao Shi pushed him, and he came back to his senses, walked to the hospital bed, held Yun Xi's hand, and said softly: "Yun Xi, I'm here to see you. "
He seemed to be afraid of waking up, and also afraid that Yunxi would really sleep like this, so he called her name gently beside the pillow.
Yun Xi, who was already in a deep coma, was weak and couldn't hear his voice, let alone open his eyes to look at him and smile sweetly at him.
Jiang Juan regretted endlessly, "I'm sorry, I said I would take you out to have a look, but I broke my promise. Brother Juan is a bad person, can you... can you wake up and give me a chance to apologize?"
Yunxi's mother rushed out of the ward covering her mouth, and the soft-hearted nurse also wiped away her tears.
Jiang Juan originally thought that when facing parting, he would be eager to say a thousand words, but he didn't expect that the words that he had drafted countless times in his heart would be so difficult to say, and he was silent for a long time, unable to speak.
Seeing his distraught but unable to vent his grief, Xiao Shi felt uncomfortable in his heart.
He stroked the girl's soft hair, pinched the mouth of her chick pajamas as usual, and said goodbye to her softly.
"Little girl, have a good sleep. I hope you wake up from this dream without any more pain."
He touched the girl's cold forehead, "Good night, Yunxi."
Not long after he finished speaking, the electrocardiograph issued a piercing alarm, and the girl's pulse did not fluctuate any longer, and returned to the front line.
Another farewell separated by death.
Yun Xi, good night.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Juan sat on the steps in front of the inpatient department, lowering his head, wondering what he was thinking.
Xiao Shi pinched the cigarette out of his mouth and gave him a cup of hot milk, but the man had no appetite, his lips were so dry that he refused to take a sip.
"Be obedient, you haven't eaten all night, and you can't hold on like this. I'll break a biscuit for you and eat some."
Seeing that the man was still in low spirits, Xiao Shi persuaded: "Yunxi will be sad seeing you like this, think about how you coaxed her to eat before, you understand those principles, how can you not think about it when you change it to yourself?" Understood."
"I can't figure it out..." Jiang Juan sighed, "How could I figure it out...I'm afraid I won't be able to understand the matter of life and death in my whole life."
Xiao Shi took a bag of biscuits, broke them into small pieces and fed them to Jiang Juan.
The man forced himself to eat a few mouthfuls, but finally couldn't eat anymore, Xiao Shi didn't force him.
"Yunxi's mother said that her funeral was actually prepared a few months ago. The doctor said that she might not survive those few weeks. Later, she met you and rekindled her hope of living, so she can persist until now. .”
He embraced Jiang Juan, kissed the center of his brow, moved down slowly, stopped at the tip of his nose, and rubbed gently, as if trying to warm his cold body.
"The matter of life and death is the most insurmountable obstacle in the world. Those who are left behind are always suffering, but conversely, for those who leave, it may also be a kind of relief."
"I know that my brother and Yunxi were in pain before they left. Such relief may not be wrong for them, but the pain brought to the living is as long-lasting as tearing. Just think of the pain they felt when they left. There is reluctance and nostalgia in this world, so I just..."
The language is too weak, Xiao Shi knows that he will need a long time to try to accept the reality, and he is unwilling to force him.
"I'm still here, I'm with you."
"……Um."
Only then did Jiang Juan raise his head, gulped down the milk, picked up the cigarette butts on the ground one by one, and coughed a few times.
His voice was almost inaudible: "Don't worry about me too much. I don't have a deep relationship with her. I don't feel bad."
There is no silver 300 taels here.
If it's really not uncomfortable, why bother to explain it?
He was amused by his deceitful behavior, and he shed tears while smiling, covering his forehead with one hand, covering his eyes, and hiding his ugly crying.
Xiao Shi kissed his palm and comforted him: "She met you when her life was about to end. It was not your fault that she left, but it was her luck to know you."
"... When will she leave?"
Jiang Juan pinched the tip of his nose, trying to suppress the spreading sourness.
Xiao Shi said: "Tomorrow. Her mother doesn't want her daughter to sleep in the cold funeral home for too long, so we can go see her off."
"Then you...wake me up early tomorrow."
After saying this, Jiang Juan leaned on Xiao Shi's shoulder, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Xiao Shi thought that he was just trying to escape from everything in front of him, and shut himself up for a while, but he didn't expect that he would actually fall asleep like this, and he was unconscious when he was carried into the car, and he still didn't wake up after he changed his clothes and put him on the bed. .
It was rare for him to sleep so deeply. Looking at his sleeping face, Xiao Shi stroked his head and realized that he was really tired.
After touching it a few times, strands of hair caught between his fingers.
Xiao Shi tidied up those broken hairs patiently, and continued to comb his hair, but he became more and more frightened.
Jiang Juan lost far more hair than usual, and there were a lot of dry strands left on the pillow, all of which were broken at the root.
This is not a good sign.
Xiao Shi put away those hairs, thinking about attending Yunxi's funeral tomorrow, so he took him for a full body checkup.
He knew that Jiang Juan had something to hide from him, but the man refused to say it, and he couldn't force him to speak.
"Jiang Er, you, you, when will you be willing to share your secret with me..."
In the silence, Xiao Shi muttered to himself.
Xiao Shi applied for a long vacation to the High Bureau for Jiang Juan, and the old director who was exhausted by the bombing asked, "What about you?"
"I……"
Xiao Shi turned his head to look at the person beside the pillow who was sleeping deeply, and made a decision in an instant.
"Gao Ju, today and tomorrow, I will hand over the letter of resignation to the Municipal Bureau. Thank you for taking care of me during this time."
Gao Ju sighed helplessly, remained silent for a long time, and finally agreed to his request.
Xiao Shi lowered his head and kissed Jiang Juan's nose.
He couldn't remember when he started to have this habitual action, but at this moment he understood the reason why he had this intimate action.
Since he came back, he found that Jiang Juan's body temperature was lower than that of ordinary people, and he was also very sensitive to temperature changes. Often a gust of wind would make him shiver, and the tip of his nose was always cool.
The protective desire in his bones was aroused, and he couldn't help wanting to warm him up, and it became a natural habit over time.
"I really want to find a place to hide you well..."
Jiang Juan fell asleep all night, but Xiao Shi was sleepless all night.
When the sky was about to dawn, Kyle seemed to have a premonition and called Xiao Shi restlessly.
"I just had a nightmare."
The blond man with his muscular upper body bare, opened the floor-to-ceiling windows and stood by the balcony, watching the crescent moon with its fading brilliance.
"Dreams are many and very complicated. I dreamed that I failed to save Ah Juan, and watched him vomit blood in my arms, dying in peace. I dreamed that Ah Zhu asked me why I didn't protect his younger brother with deep wounds visible all over his body. .I can't answer...I still have lingering fears until now, and I am anxious to confirm his situation, should he be all right?"
Xiao Shi also tiptoed to the balcony and said in a low voice, "It's fine now, but I'm not sure about the future. So, I want to take him away."
Kyle said helplessly: "My friend, I can understand your feelings, but you have to know that taking him away is a dead end, and we can't save him."
It was also painful for Kyle to tell the truth.
"I'm afraid there are only two people in this world who can save him. Unfortunately, it's not you and me."
One, Bailishu.One, Shen Jinsu.
The former is powerful and unintentional, and the latter is powerless.
"Tired, wake up, it's time to get up."
Xiao Shi whispered in Jiang Juan's ear, but no surprise, the man didn't respond at all.
He pinched Jiang Juan's face and called out a few more times, but the other party was still motionless. He was a little anxious, so he pushed Jiang Juan a little harder, and the man finally opened his eyes.
Jiang Juan looked at his face from blurred to clear in confusion, and asked blankly, "What are you going to do today...?"
"I want to send Yunxi off. Get up, I'll help you prepare your clothes, get up and have a meal, and we'll go out."
Jiang Juan turned sideways with the quilt in his arms, moaned in a low voice, as if he couldn't get up again.
He hadn't stayed in bed like this for a long time, and usually sat on the bed with his messy hair in a daze for a while, most of the time he got up earlier than Xiao Shi.
This rare sight reminded Xiao Shi of when he was living in Jiang's house when he was a student. Every weekend, Jiang Zhu who got up early in the morning and made breakfast would always open the curtains of their room mercilessly, and the morning light would shine into the bedroom. If they were forced to wake up, Jiang Juan would moan and rub the quilt, begging his brother to let him sleep a little longer.
Jiang Zhu couldn't stand his acting like a baby, and he couldn't stand being begged a few times, so he could only compromise.
At that time, although I always couldn't sleep all night, and could only fall asleep when the night was over, I still always woke up when Jiang Zhu drew the curtains.
He wasn't too tired at first, but seeing Jiang Juan rolling around on the bed like a lazy cat, he just wanted to spend as much time with him as possible, even if he had already sat up, he would lazily lie down , Said: "Azhu, I'm sleepy too, I don't remember..."
At first Jiang Zhu would look at him lying on top of his younger brother in astonishment, but later he got used to it or understood it. In short, this kind of thing happened once or twice every weekend. Jiang Zhu patiently reheated the food after they woke up.
Xiao Shi stroked Jiang Juan's head huddled under the quilt, and kissed his earlobe, "Get up, we'll come back early, let you go to bed early."
Both of them put on black formal clothes, ate breakfast without food and hurried out the door.
Jiang Juan was speechless all the way, staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze, Xiao Shi called him a few times, but he ignored him.
He really didn't hear it.
In this way, he arrived at the destination in a daze, was dragged into the farewell hall by Xiao Shi, attended the funeral numbly, bid farewell to the corpse calmly as many times before, and shook hands with the bereaved family.
His hands were so cold, as cold as ice.
Yun Xi's mother's eyes were red and swollen, and with her husband's support, she stumbled and caught up with Jiang Juan walking away quickly.
"Officer Jiang, wait a moment, please wait a moment."
Jiang Juan stopped, but didn't look back.
The woman pursed her lips and suppressed her crying, bowed deeply to him, and said with tears in her eyes, "I misunderstood you before and did something very rude to you. I'm really sorry. Thank you... for being willing to accompany Yun After walking the last part of the road, I think that what this mother did was unqualified. Because of selfishness, she chose to give up and left behind many regrets. Now that she is dead, I only hope that you, Officer Jiang, can come out as soon as possible and return to the The life you deserve."
The woman also bowed to Xiao Shi, "Mr. Xiao, I also thank you. Yunxi said that she likes Brother Tired and Brother Xiao the most, and hopes that after she leaves, the two brothers will be as happy as before. ...don't feel sorry for her..."
Jiang Juan lowered his head, pondered for a long time, finally turned around and asked, "What are you going to do next?"
Seeing his wife crying, the woman's husband wiped her tears and replied on her behalf: "I will choose a day for burial, and use the tombstone she wrote for herself according to her wishes."
The man handed over the phone. It was a photo of the tombstone that was about to be carved. The handwriting was very similar to Jiang Juan. He taught Yun Xi to write it by himself, but the name...is one more word?
"I don't know if Yunxi has told you about her not having a surname. At that time, she was very resentful that her mother refused to come to accompany her, so she simply said that she was an unwanted child and had no surname. Later, she begged her When my mother used her own characters as the tombstone, she forgave her and added her own surname, for this... I also want to thank you two."
No wonder the word is written crookedly, it doesn't look like it was written by a person.
Jiang Juan's frozen face finally evoked a smile, caressing the word that was very Yunxi's own style, smiled, and then cried.
Goodbye, kid.
Goodbye, Lan Yunxi.
After seeing off Yunxi, on the way back, Xiao Shi tentatively asked Jiang Juan if he would like to go to the hospital for a full-body examination. The excuse he used was perfunctory, saying that he got two coupons for the physical examination from Shen Guan, and it was not for nothing. .
Jiang Juan unexpectedly agreed, but with conditions, "Tomorrow, I have something to do today, so go home first."
Xiao Shi was still curious about what was going on, but Jiang Juan dug out a set of blood collection tools for him as soon as he got home.
"Duan Jingci needs to go back to his hometown to continue the drug research. I suspect that SS-01 may really be related to the Miao people's Gu poison. In order to ensure his progress, we must bring some samples back for him to study, so we smoke... ...just smoke 400cc."
He said rolling up his sleeves.
Xiao Shi rejected him without even thinking about it, "You are slightly anemic now, pulling out the 400cc will kill half your life, no no no! Besides, there is still Song Yuzhi here, you can't do it alone."
"I now suspect that the medicines injected into our two bodies are likely to be different. From the injection method, to the efficacy, to the side effects, it is unlikely to be exactly the same thing after ten years, so it must be provided to Duan Jingci. Two different samples."
Xiao Shi's face changed slightly, "...Did you guess something?"
"Maybe, if this continues, something will happen. We can't delay any longer. Duan Jingci has to find out the results as quickly as possible. I can only give him another month."
Jiang Juan looked relaxed, sat on the sofa, stretched out his hand to Xiao Shi, more docile than ever before, and smiled at him.
"I promise, for the next month, I will be honestly raised at home until Duan Jingci's research progresses, so you can rest assured."
Jiang Juan's behavior was so abnormal that Xiao Shi didn't believe his words.
It's just that Xiao Shi didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at this time, thinking that Jiang Juan had also noticed a series of physical changes including hair loss, and started to be afraid, so he was eager to find out the result.
After several rounds of bargaining, he still compromised, but under his insistence, he only took 100cc.
Jiang Juan watched the dark red blood slowly flow into the blood bag, and let out a long breath.
The blood is still warm, so in order to keep it fresh, it must be immediately sent to the laboratory for cryopreservation.
Xiao Shi was sent by Jiang Juan to deliver the goods to the door. Before leaving, he always felt that Jiang Juan was a little strange, so he actually walked him to the door and opened the door for him.
"Go early and come back early," Jiang Juan instructed.
Xiao Shi put his arms around him, pressed a kiss on his lips, nodded and said: "I'm leaving, make your favorite hot and sour soup at night, rest at home, and wait for me to come back."
"it is good."
At that time, Xiao Shi still felt that every married man enjoyed the reluctant farewell and morning kiss from his beloved wife before getting up early and going to work. .
How could he have imagined that the moment the door closed, all the tenderness in Jiang Juan's eyes disappeared in an instant, and the temperature dropped to freezing point, staring indifferently at the door that separated the two of them, and stood there for a long time.
I don't know how long it took before he said: "Idiot..."
After that, he turned and went back to the room, took off his formal clothes, found a black thin hoodie and black jeans from the depths of the closet, and put on black canvas shoes, a light suit.
He looked at himself in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, and remembered that he hadn't dressed so casually for a long time. The clothes were from his student days, with no extra decorations from head to toe, and a well-regulated fit. He wouldn't feel uncomfortable wearing them now. Rustic.
It's just that if I wear short sleeves now, the scars all over my body will be exposed.
He laughed bitterly at himself, and changed into a black long-sleeved sweater.
While rummaging in the closet, he saw the police uniform that was ironed perfectly but never dared to wear it on his body. His fingertips brushed over the thick fabric, full of emotion.
Hesitantly, he took off the siren, chest badge, and cap badge on the chest of the police uniform, and carefully put them in his backpack.
While searching for things, he found an exquisite small box in the bedside table, which he had never seen before, so he opened it out of curiosity.
Unexpectedly, this glance made his heart sink to the bottom.
——It turned out to be a pair of rings.
A pair of plain hoop rings with no frills.
Putting it here, maybe Xiao Shi planned to put it on his hand on a certain lingering night, taking advantage of the right atmosphere, and poured out his passionate love, hoping that he could stop forever.
At that time, Jiang Juan's mind was blank, and he mysteriously stuffed the jewelry box into his backpack, then packed the charger and his personal ID, put on a mask and went downstairs.
Xiao Tian heard the sound and walked over wagging his tail. Seeing Jiang Juan's outfit, he tilted his head and looked at him suspiciously.
Jiang Juan leaned down, patted its head, and fed it some dog food for the last time.
As if he had a premonition, Xiaotian looked at the untimely food in the basin uneasily, biting Jiang Juan's trouser leg, trying to keep him.
Jiang Juan took out a pen and paper, thought about it, and omitted many unnecessary farewell words, leaving only a short sentence: "Xiao Shi, let's break up."
After finishing writing, he felt that these words were ambiguous. He and Xiao Shi had never really been together, so why break up?
After deliberating, he tore off the page and threw it into the trash can, and wrote again: "Xiao Shi, let's part."
The handwriting is neat and neat, smooth and smooth, without any sloppiness, just like his long-planned long-planned departure this time.
He pulled away Xiaotian who was biting his shoelace, patiently re-laced his shoelace, rubbed Xiaotian's ear, and calmly persuaded: "Even if I'm not here, I still have to take care of them, you know?" ?”
Xiaotian looked at him worriedly.
"He looks bluffing, but he's just a child in his heart. You have to guard him for me and don't let others hurt him, you know?"
Xiaotian mourned and called out to him.
"And my brother, I have wronged him by sleeping here, but I really can't think of any place that is safer than here. You have to protect him, accompany him more for me, and please him. Maybe, he is not so Blame me."
Jiang Juan lowered his head and pressed against Xiaotian's head, his voice was as soft as a sigh: "Thank you, thank you."
After saying that, he got up, ignored the urgent screams behind him, went out cruelly, walked to the most blooming camellia tree, and hung the key of the house on the branch.
"Brother, I'm leaving."
The warm wind blows, and the key swings in the air, as if trying to keep people away.
Contrary to what I expected, when it was time to leave, I didn't say goodbye too much.
At this moment, Jiang Juan suddenly understood that the farewell he was looking forward to in his heart was so unknown that he didn't need to be noticed or remembered.
Just like the spring rain falling into the soil, it is silent and cannot be found, but it can moisten the earth and nourish new life.
In the next spring, those seeds that he and Xiao Shi planted will always survive.he thinks.
Just maybe, he can never see again.
"It's okay, I don't care about it." Jiang Juan murmured to himself.
Until now, he is still stubborn and refuses to admit that he cares.
In the coming year, the year after, and the year after that... There will always be someone guarding Xiao Shi for him, so why should he never forget it.
He took out his mobile phone, found a familiar name in the address book, and sent a message to the other party.
—Come out, I have something to tell you.
Yanxi City, Oscars.
This high-end bar located in the city center was shut down last year due to a murder case involving a drug-related scandal. It occupies the most prosperous area in the central city, but it has been closed for a long time, and it is out of tune with the surrounding lights.
To say the least, no one has been here for half a year. The tables and chairs are covered with thick layers of dust, and even the ambient lights have lost their original brilliance.
With his hands in his sweater pockets, Jiang Juan walked around into the empty bar through the back door, took a mobile phone to light up, and walked in the pitch-dark empty space. He found a power source by the wall and only turned on a few lights.
The dim light illuminated the whole space. Even if it was temporarily closed, the tables and chairs were still neatly arranged, which shows that the boss here is quite a well-behaved person.
Jiang Juan walked around the dance floor, walked slowly to the bar, washed the glass that no one had used for a long time, picked out a few bottles of wine that had been opened and would be wasted if not drunk, and made himself a glass of Long Island iced tea. After taking a bite, I felt that the taste was not enough, so I plugged in the power to the ice machine again.
He took the glass of wine and sat in the most conspicuous position under the stage with his back to the entrance, the spotlight was on top of his head, as if the entire arena was controlled by him.
He took out the police badge in his bag, held it in his palm fondly, stroked the uneven lines with his fingers, brought it to his lips, and kissed it lightly.
This is the relic of his father and brother, and he will never betray it.
no way.
The sound of heavy door hinges resounding through the empty hall, Jiang Juan knew that the person he was waiting for had arrived.
The person who came deliberately avoided the main entrance and jumped in from a remote window. He thought he would come early enough to get ready, but he didn't expect to run into someone sitting quietly under the stage as soon as he came in.
Taking advantage of the man's bad ears, Zhang Yongjun tiptoed over and was about to speak, but the man stepped forward and said: "Please bring the ice cubes from the ice machine, this wine cannot be drunk without ice."
Zhang Yongjun didn't succeed, so he shrugged regretfully, and had no choice but to follow what Jiang Juan said, and went to the bar to bring out an ice bucket, and poured out the frozen ice cubes from the ice machine.
Judging by how frozen these ice cubes are, that person should have come over immediately after sending a text message, not much earlier than him.
Zhang Yongjun put the ice bucket on the table next to Jiang Juan, sat across from him, and looked at Jiang Juan's abnormal attire today, "I wanted to talk to Deputy Jiang before, but you kept making excuses to refuse, what is the wind blowing today, How could you invite me yourself?"
Jiang Juan held ice cubes and put them into the cup one by one. Hearing this, he chuckled, "The stinking demon wind."
Zhang Yongjun's complexion became ugly.
"It's said that Shibie will look at you with admiration for three days. I haven't seen you for so long, but you haven't improved at all. If Huang Zhe knows, he can revive you."
Zhang Yongjun smiled stiffly and forcedly, "...What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Jiang Juan's tone was colder than that bucket of ice cubes, "You don't need to pretend in front of me, are you still afraid that I will record evidence? If I want to mess with you, you should be with Huang Zheliang, and you can still crawl Take today's seat? They are all sensible people, and time is precious, so don't beat around the bush."
Zhang Yongjun stopped pretending after hearing this, and asked with a sneer, "Then what advice did Deputy Jiang come to ask me for today?"
"I can't talk about teaching, but there are some things I want you to teach."
Jiang Juan touched the cold water droplets produced by the temperature difference on the wall of the cup with his fingertips, raised the cup to his lips, but stopped.
Zhang Yongjun stared at the dark wine in his glass, his eyes almost fell into it.
But Jiang Juan just refused to drink and put down the glass under his gaze.
Zhang Yongjun also realized that his reaction was too explicit, and coughed twice in embarrassment.
"Don't dare to take it seriously. With our friendship, Deputy Jiang can just say what he has to say. Don't worry too much, except..."
Except for some too sensitive and sharp topics.
But when Zhang Yongjun thought about it carefully, the topics he and Jiang Juan could talk about seemed to be very sensitive and sharp, which made it difficult to handle.
"I can not pursue the shot you fired at me, but there are conditions."
Jiang Juan rubbed his fingers against the rim of the cup and slowly turned it counterclockwise.
"I got some gossip. I heard that Team Zhang may know some secrets from many years ago. I wonder if Team Zhang would like to tell me?"
"you mean……"
"It happened 30 years ago. At that time, my father also served in the Changning Municipal Bureau. After I was transferred to Changning, the first thing I did was to investigate the case that led to my father's death. I happened to catch up with the good time. At that time, the Changning Municipal Bureau was also connected to the national public security system, and it was converting the old case files within 30 years into an electronic version in chronological order and uploading them to the entire system. Fortunately, when I transferred, the files of that case had already been transferred. It's basically finished, and I can even see who has read the dossier."
Zhang Yongjun was a little surprised, "But your position at that time should not have..."
"Of course I don't have permission, so I stole the old director's intranet account."
Zhang Yongjun: "..."
This man really dares to say it!
He bit the bullet and asked, "Then did you find any clues? Or did you find someone with suspicious access records?"
"No."
Zhang Yongjun was startled again, feeling speechless.
The one on the left is not, and the one on the right is not. What is this person trying to say?
"But that's the most suspicious thing, isn't it?" Jiang Juan asked back, "This case is very important to some people. With such a convenient way to retrieve it, as long as it is in the internal network environment of the public security system, it can be retrieved anytime, anywhere. It is unreasonable that no one can learn the details of the case that year. And my guess at the time can explain the reason for this situation.”
"... what guess?"
"The dossier is not complete, and details may even have been deleted. Even if the information on the intranet is retrieved, it is difficult to restore the truth. Then, a key person appeared-the clerk who entered the dossier into the system .”
When Zhang Yongjun heard this, cold sweat flowed down.
Seeing this, Jiang Juan smiled slightly, leaned closer to Zhang Yongjun, and blew at him across the table, "You know why I kept you until now."
"When... did you find out?"
Zhang Yongjun was so nervous that his tongue got stuck.
"A long time ago, not long after you entered the document as a trainee policeman, you hid back to school under the pretext of preparing your graduation thesis. A year later, you were transferred to the Changning Municipal Bureau with a formal establishment. Your life It was as smooth as opening and hanging, it made countless people red-eyed, and it also caught my attention. Zhang Yongjun, tell me what you are hiding."
Zhang Yongjun's eyes almost popped out, looking at Jiang Juan as if looking at a monster.
This person had been suspicious of him all those years ago, but he could bear it for ten years, and he was not found until today, how terrifying!
But he must not say that part of the key content, otherwise he will definitely not be able to get out of here alive!
Zhang Yongjun settled down, seeing that he couldn't hide it, he no longer concealed it, thinking of avoiding the serious and taking the light of it, he admitted it decisively.
"Yes, it is true that I sorted out the file and entered it into the public security system, but I just acted according to the rules. Whatever was written in the file, I recorded what was written in the file. There was neither addition nor deletion. When I had it in my hand, that case file was what it would eventually appear on the intranet."
Jiang Juan was not in a hurry to expose his lies, "Oh, is that so? Then can you tell me the ins and outs of that case?"
His hand went into the backpack, such a simple action made Zhang Yongjun nervous, subconsciously stood up and took a few steps back.
But the man didn't draw a gun to threaten, he just took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it, looking at him with some amusement.
Yu Card: "Why, are you afraid of becoming like this?"
Faced with the man's ridicule, Zhang Yongjun was furious, "No! Who is afraid of his grandson!"
Jiang Juan sneered, "Okay, since you're not afraid, then sit back and finish talking, I'll listen carefully."
He was playing with a metal lighter, which was scratched and badly damaged. It looked not only old, but also experienced a catastrophe.
Zhang Yongjun bit the bullet and sat back to the original place, recalling the whole story of the case.
In the early years, Jiang Xun joined the police in Changning. He was originally assigned to criminal investigation. Within half a year, a huge drug transportation case occurred in the province. Changning and Su'an jointly planned an anti-drug operation and wiped out a drug gang that had been active in the two places all year round. , but because a foreign force participated in this exchange of fire, it was seriously injured.
At that time, "17" was not decided by Bailishu and "SEVENTEEN", but its predecessor "Kunwa", a Golden Triangle drug cartel that was later annexed by Bailishu.
The policemen who participated in the operation suffered heavy casualties, and those who survived had to withdraw from the front line because of their severe injuries. At that time, there was a shortage of talents, and they had to be transferred from other departments and regions to fill the vacancies. It was at that time that Jiang Xun entered the drug control port.
"This is not a coincidence." Zhang Yongjun said, "'Kunwa' was the most powerful drug gang in the Golden Triangle at that time. Province X is located in the north and is close to Russia. It is called a "fortress" by them. Once it falls, their future business will be very good, and they will have meat to eat when they open their mouths. Therefore, they need to find work for them in Yanxi and Changning. suitable candidates."
Jiang Juan continued his words: "The first thing they pay attention to is the students who have not left the campus. They are young, outstanding, and may become rookies in the police force. They are the best nails to break into the police. At the same time, they lack social experience.
