between light and shadow

Standing behind the bar, Fang Wenwen looked at the romantic moment when Zhao Qiping proposed to Annie, with indescribable envy, and then turned his head to look at Mingcheng who was teaching Xiaoguan how to make coffee. Mixed feelings.

After being rejected at Mingcheng's house that time, Wenwen never took the initiative to find Mingcheng again.She still insisted on working in the cafe because she really liked the cafe and wanted to learn how to run it.Although now she gets along with Mingcheng day and night every day, she has repeatedly warned herself to keep a distance from Mingcheng, whether it is to be angry, or to save the last bit of dignity for herself.Mingcheng also seemed to understand what Wenwen meant, the two of them just maintained the friendship between gentlemen and lived these days in a normal way.

A sudden noise was particularly harsh in the originally quiet cafe, and everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look around.A group of about four or five young men waddled in while frolicking, all of whom seemed to be drunk.Wenwen wanted to step forward to stop him, but Mingcheng grabbed him.

"You stay here."

Mingcheng noticed that this group of young people came from the bar opposite.Speaking of which, after the bar was closed last time because of the drug possession incident, He Datong didn't know what method he used, and the bar reopened last week.

Mingcheng looked at the time, and it was almost time for closing time. Passing by Zhao Qiping's side, he whispered, "Let's go first."

"Do you need to call the police?" Zhao Qiping glanced at the group of people, it was obvious that they were here to make trouble.

"It's okay, I can handle it."

Seeing this, the other guests also checked out and left.Seeing that all the customers in the cafe had left, the group of young people laughed more brazenly and loudly, and even went to a wooden shelf in the corner, and took down the packaged coffee powder and coffee beans from the shelf to play with.

Mingcheng calmly stepped forward to dissuade him, "Sorry, we're closing."

Those people turned a blind eye to Mingcheng and threw coffee beans around for fun.Mingcheng stepped forward and reached out to snatch the coffee bag from one of the people. The person was taken aback for a moment, and then yelled loudly to hit him!

A group of people took the opportunity to cause chaos, smashing chairs and flipping tables... Wenwen couldn't stand anymore, and stepped out to stop them, but was molested by them instead.Mingcheng pulled Wenwen away and was about to fight when he suddenly heard Xiaoguan behind him yelling to be careful.Mingcheng looked back and saw that the wooden frame was crumbling, and Wen Wen was standing in front of the wooden frame.Someone took the opportunity to push the wooden frame, and at the very moment, Mingcheng rushed up to hug Wenwen, and the wooden frame fell down and hit Mingcheng heavily on the back.The shelf was not high, but it was made of solid wood and it was quite heavy. Mingcheng was holding Wenwen under him and was pressed down by the wooden shelf, so he couldn't get up for a while.

At this time, Li Yaman just arrived with a few men, and asked them to drag those troublemakers to the back alley without saying a word.Xiaoguan hurriedly removed the wooden frame, and Wenwen got out of Mingcheng's arms and hurriedly helped Mingcheng up. Seeing that Mingcheng was a little unsteady in his steps, he frowned and supported his left shoulder, as if he was injured.

"Are you okay? Where is the injury?"

Wenwen worriedly wanted to check Mingcheng, but Mingcheng shook his head, said briefly that he was fine, and turned around to clean up with Xiao Guan, but one of Li Yaman's subordinates came and asked Mingcheng to come Go to the back alley.

Mingcheng thought that Li Yaman wanted to help deal with the group of young people who made trouble just now, but was told that he had already given them a lesson, and ran away with a bruised face and a swollen nose.At this time, a man was being held hostage and dragged over. Mingcheng took a closer look and saw that it was Zhang Wei.

Sure enough, Zhang Wei still wanted to kill Xiaomin.He was discovered by Li Yaman's men before he wanted to do it, stopped him in time, and brought him back.

"Do you have any brains?" Li Yaman's voice was not high, but the cold look with murderous eyes made people shudder, "You are already a wanted criminal, and you want to come back to kill? You don't know that Is the woman already with the police?!"

"If you don't kill her, she won't let me go!"

"Since you want to die so much, I will help you. Ah Cheng!" Li Yaman threw the things in his hands to Mingcheng.

Mingcheng took it casually, and his hand sank. It was a gun that had been fitted with a silencer.Zhang Wei was so frightened that he knelt down and begged desperately for mercy.

Zhang Wei was impulsive and reckless, Li Yaman knew that sooner or later something bad would happen to him, if he was caught by the police, there was no guarantee that he would not betray them, so getting rid of this person directly was the easiest way.

Mingcheng raised his gun and pointed it at Zhang Wei, but it was not loaded yet, as if hesitating.

"Why, dare not shoot?" Li Yaman turned to stare at Mingcheng, a sense of urgency approaching Mingcheng.

With the gun still pointed at Zhang Wei, Mingcheng replied to Li Yaman, "Time is too short, and it might not be appropriate to temporarily change people at the border."

In fact, Mingcheng wanted to leave this person to Ji Bai.He knew that Ji Bai wanted this person, and if a new person went to the border, Mingcheng was not sure that he would be able to control him.Killing Zhang Wei now would not do any good at all.

Riyaman also seemed to be a little shaken.The day of the trade is imminent, and it is indeed unwise to make substitutions at this time.No matter how unbearable Zhang Wei was, after all, he had established a good relationship with the people in Myanmar, and he was most familiar with the geographical environment.Seeing this, Zhang Wei took the opportunity to desperately beg for mercy, and promised to go back to the border of Yunnan immediately and nothing will happen again.

"Wenwen!"

Mingcheng suddenly found that Wenwen had arrived at some point, and was silently staring at them.Mingcheng immediately put the gun in his hand behind his back, and Li Yaman took the pistol from Mingcheng's back calmly, and hid behind him.Of course, all these things are seen in the eyes, but it has long been a consensus among everyone to see through and not to tell the truth.

"Is there something wrong?" Li Yaman asked.

"I just want to see Ah Cheng's injury."

Seeing that Li Yaman nodded slightly in agreement, Mingcheng hurriedly followed Wenwen to the staff lounge.

______________________________

Wenwen asked Mingcheng to open the shirt. Mingcheng hesitated for a moment, then took off the shirt as he said. He only wore a vest inside, and the bruise on his left shoulder was obvious.

Wenwen pressed lightly on the wound on Mingcheng's shoulder, "Did you not dislocate or hurt the bone?"

"fine."

Seeing Mingcheng's indifferent and repulsive look again, Wenwen felt an inexplicable sulking, and couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder hard.Mingcheng suddenly cried out in pain, turned his head and looked at Wenwen innocently and inexplicably.

"what happened?"

Wenwen raised his eyebrows, and emphasized his tone as if revenge, "It's okay!"

Wenwen poured medicated oil and rubbed vigorously on Mingcheng's shoulder injury.Mingcheng probably guessed that Wenwen was unhappy because of something, but he still felt aggrieved, but he didn't dare to provoke her, so he bowed his head, gritted his teeth and let Wenwen be slaughtered, not daring to snort again.

"If you hadn't seen me just now, would you have shot?"

Mingcheng couldn't answer Wenwen's sudden question.It suddenly occurred to him that he didn't seem to have fired a gun in the past two years.It's not that there is no chance, it's just that I don't want to.He was a little confused who was the enemy and who should be killed.He thought of Lin Feifan again.Mingcheng would still save him even if he did it all over again, but if he had known his true identity back then, would he have killed himself?Mingcheng really didn't know the answer.

Seeing Mingcheng's pensive look, Wenwen tried again, "Actually, you don't like these days of fighting and killing at all, do you?"

"I don't like it, and I don't hate it either."

"What do you mean?"

"There is no absolute right or wrong in this world, so why take it too seriously? Between black and white, don't forget that there is gray."

"Black is black, white is white, why do you have to make it so complicated? Are you really happy like this?"

"It's everyone's choice," Mingcheng put on his clothes and stood up, "We just chose different paths."

No, Wenwen kept shaking her head, she always felt that Mingcheng was not such a person, why did he just want to make himself so indifferent?Wenwen still wanted to ask more questions, but Mingcheng was already about to leave the lounge.As soon as the door opened, Li Yaman was standing outside the door. She didn't know how long she had been waiting there, and she didn't know if she heard the conversation between the two.

"I have something to tell you." Li Yaman said to Mingcheng, then looked at Wenwen.

Knowing what Li Yaman meant, Wenwen went out tactfully, and then Mingcheng locked the door of the lounge.

"Zhang Wei promised to leave after the boss's birthday party. Then I want you to accompany him back to the border."

To say that it is companionship is actually surveillance.Li Yaman hopes that Mingcheng can establish a good relationship with the border and Myanmar through Zhang Wei.Li Yaman's meaning is obvious, she wants Mingcheng to replace Zhang Wei, because she will get rid of Zhang Wei sooner or later.This arrangement is exactly what Mingcheng wants.Before, he was still thinking about how to better understand the operation on the border, especially this time, it can be seen that Riyaman attaches great importance to it, and the transaction volume must be not small.

Tang Chuan looked at his watch. It was almost 09:30 in the morning and there was no sign of Xiang Ziying. She was rarely late.Putting the cup he just finished drinking coffee into the sink, Tang Chuan planned to start today's experiment by himself, when he saw Xiang Ziying walking in hurriedly.Tang Chuan looked at her, knowing that the first thing she said must be sorry.

"sorry!"

This girl is too easy to guess, Tang Chuan smiled triumphantly.Seeing Xiang Ziying wipe the sweat off her forehead, she looked a bit embarrassed.

"what happened?"

"The sandwich shop you usually eat is not open today, so I ran to the third road to buy it, so I was late."

The third road was separated by at least two streets, and the distance was twice as long. No wonder she was out of breath.

"I don't necessarily want a sandwich either." Tang Chuan looked at Xiang Ziying's muddy high-heeled shoes, "Just tell me in the future, it's okay if you don't have breakfast once in a while."

"How can you skip breakfast, and you must drink coffee. It's not good to drink coffee on an empty stomach."

Xiang Ziying put the sandwich on Tang Chuan's desk, then turned to wash the cup, she knew the cup must be in the sink.

"I said it's occasional, that is, the probability of it happening is very low, and even if it happens, it won't have a big impact."

"Then it's okay if I run two more streets occasionally."

Tang Chuan folded his hands on his chest, and looked at Xiang Ziying with interest.Xiang Ziying turned her head to look at Tang Chuan, "What's wrong?"

"You seem to be more and more daring to speak." Tang Chuan stared at Xiang Ziying seriously, "When you first came here, you seemed to only speak one sentence..."

The two said at the same time, "I'm sorry!"

Then both of them laughed.Xiang Ziying flirts unconsciously. She doesn't know when it started. After getting along for a long time, she feels that Tang Chuan is not as high as she imagined. Although sometimes he still has a little pride brought by self-confidence, but most of the time he is still Very down to earth.

There were two knocks on the door, the door of the laboratory was pushed open, and Ji Bai walked in.Tang Chuan, who had a relaxed and teasing expression, immediately changed into a serious face.Those who did not notify in advance and would come at this time are usually related to the case, and those who can let Ji Bai come here in person must be important cases.

He Datong wants to turn into a tainted witness, accusing Li Yaman of killing Xu Xu.

That day, He Datong wanted to go back to the bar as usual, but he overheard some voices when passing by the alley. He walked over curiously, and saw the scene of Li Yaman killing Xu Xu.Later, He Datong threatened Li Yaman with this matter, and Li Yaman coordinated from it, so that the bar was able to settle down and reopen when it was revealed for the first time that someone was eating in it.A few days ago, He Datong's bar was searched again. This time, Riaman refused to help, so He Datong decided to stand up and testify against Riyaman.

"His confession helped?"

"He can tell the date and time, what Xu Xu was wearing, and how Li Yaman cut his throat with a knife."

Ji Bai's voice was a little deep, with a touch of loneliness.Some wounds still ache no matter how long it has passed, let alone a wound that has been exposed repeatedly and has no time to heal.

"Cut throat..." Tang Chuan seemed to have suddenly remembered something, "Yes, I never thought of it!"

When the carotid artery is cut by a sharp weapon, blood will spurt out of the body in a jet shape, and there will be a lot of blood on both the wounded and the murderer.Tang Chuan once found a diamond that fell from Li Yaman's bracelet in Fang Hong's car.If Riyaman had worn this bracelet at that time, it would definitely be stained with blood, even if it had been cleaned, it could still be detected.

Tang Chuan glanced back at Xiang Ziying and before she spoke, Xiang Ziying replied quickly, "I see, I'll go get that diamond now!"
