between light and shadow

As a result of the test, Xu Xu's blood was found on the diamond.

"You can apply for an arrest warrant." Tang Chuan looked at Ji Bai.

Ji Bai closed his eyes and took a deep breath, clenched his fists unconsciously.Finally found more substantive evidence.However, he struggled for a while, and his reason still defeated his emotions. In the end, he could only utter three words helplessly, "Not yet."

Mingcheng said that they were about to make a deal, and it was a big deal. The police decided to take this opportunity to completely disintegrate Fang Hong's group.If Riyaman is detained at this time, I'm afraid it will scare the snake away.

Ji Bai carefully put the test results into the file.Soon, it will be over soon, Ji Bai said silently in his heart.He raised his head and saw Tang Chuan and Xiang Ziying looking at him with concern, so he smiled lightly, trying to change the subject to make the atmosphere easier.

"I heard that two days is Fang Hong's birthday, are you going to hold a birthday party at home?"

"Well, celebrating my 60th birthday."

"Did he not invite you?"

"He asked us brothers and sisters to join in the fun, but Tang Xin wasn't here, so I asked Ziying to go with me."

Speaking of which, Tang Xin went on a backpacking trip alone after the exam, and she should be in Xinjiang now.I just received her postcard a few days ago, and Ji Bai seldom answered her calls. She said that she wanted Ji Bai to have a taste of missing someone, so Ji Bai could only laugh at himself as retribution.Then Ji Bai suddenly stared at Tang Chuan with some strange eyes.

"Are you planning to take your girlfriend to meet the elders?"

Tang Chuan was stunned for a moment, but he couldn't react for a moment. He didn't seem to have thought about this question.

Xiang Ziying, who had been listening quietly, hurriedly tried to make a rescue, "He just didn't like that kind of occasion and was afraid of boredom, so he asked me to accompany him."

Tang Chuan glanced at Xiang Ziying angrily, it would be better not to say such an old-fashioned explanation.Looking back at Ji Bai again, he grinned happily, looking like he deserved a beating, the little bit of sympathy he had just now was gone.

"You don't care who I go with!"

It was rare to see Tang Chuan blushing as if he was at a loss after the secret was exposed. Ji Bai couldn't help laughing, but he quickly put away his smile and said seriously, "Since you brought someone with you, you should take care of yourself." Protect people."

Ji Bai knew that Tang Chuan would not just go to celebrate his birthday this time. Everyone had their own reasons for worrying about this case, and they all wanted to solve the case as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, I'm not like you who can only work hard, and I will never do it if I can outsmart it."

"Anyway, don't try to be brave."

Ji Bai waved goodbye to Tang Chuan, turned and walked out of the laboratory.

______________________________

The Fang family, which has always been low-key, is particularly lively today.As soon as he stepped into the hall he hadn't seen for a long time, Tang Chuan felt his arms tighten. He lowered his head and saw that Xiang Ziying was holding his right hand tightly beside him.

"Relax, we're just here to celebrate your birthday." Tang Chuan whispered in Ziying's ear.

Ji Bai was right, since he brought Xiang Ziying here, he has the responsibility to protect her.Tang Chuan had already made it clear to Ziying that he would not think about the case specifically, and told Ziying not to feel pressured.But Xiang Ziying knew that Tang Chuan had always cared about Fang Hong. Tang Chuan said that Fang Hong was just a suspect, and he might be innocent if he hadn't been convicted legally.Therefore, no matter whether Fang Hong committed a crime or not, Tang Chuan wanted to find out as soon as possible.

Fang Hong, who was busy greeting guests, strode up as soon as he saw Tang Chuan.

"Uncle Fang, happy birthday!"

"Thank you! It's a pity that your sister can't come today." Fang Hong looked at Xiang Ziying, who was beside Tang Chuan, who was a little shy, "This is, your girlfriend?"

Tang Chuan just smiled and did not deny it.After exchanging a few pleasantries, Fang Hong turned around and left. Xiang Ziying looked at Tang Chuan and hesitated to speak.She wanted to ask why Tang Chuan didn't explain that she was just an assistant?But if you think about it carefully, maybe it's because you're worried that the more you explain, the easier it will be to cause misunderstandings, or maybe Tang Chuan thinks it's just a noun and you don't need to pay too much attention to it?

"Don't be in a daze, go and see what's delicious."

Tang Chuan dragged Xiang Ziying to the buffet table as if nothing had happened, and happily picked out a small cake for her.As a result, Xiang Ziying could only swallow those questions along with the cake.

"Look, there are spicy crayfish!"

"No!" Xiang Ziying hastily grabbed Tang Chuan's outstretched hand, "You have already caught a cold, don't eat these irritating foods anymore."

"I..." Tang Chuan originally wanted to say that it was just a small cold and there was no need to be so nervous, but he coughed a few times in disappointment, and could only watch helplessly as the plate of crayfish in front of him was taken away.

The birthday party held by Fang Hong is not traditional at all. In addition to the buffet style, there is also a special dance floor, just like ordinary young people's parties.Wen Wen followed Tang Chuan around in the luxurious room, listening to Tang Chuan introduce the antiques on the display racks and some things about his previous visits to this room, and suddenly realized how deep his feelings for this place and Fang Hong were, maybe It was beyond Tang Chuan's imagination.Looking at Tang Chuan's eloquent talk, Xiang Ziying knew that he was trying to hide the contradiction in his heart.Xiang Ziying secretly made up her mind that she would definitely assist Tang Chuan in investigating the case.

While Xiang Ziying was going to the bathroom, Tang Chuan secretly ate a crayfish, and when he was about to taste a glass of champagne, he accidentally saw Fang Hong, Li Yaman, Mingcheng, and a man, Back and forth to the second floor.Tang Chuan flashed the information about Fang Hong in his mind, and soon remembered that the man was Zhang Wei.Tang Chuan thought for a while, and decided to follow and have a look.

Cautiously following them from a distance, Tang Chuan saw them enter the study.The door is quite thick, and it is basically impossible to hear the movement in the room.Tang Chuan recalled that the small balcony in the side hall next door was very close to the balcony of the study room. At this time, people were all gathered downstairs. The second floor was relatively quiet, and it was dark outside, so it should not be easy to be noticed.

Tang Chuan walked lightly to the side hall, and then stepped over to the balcony of the study.The action was smoother than expected, but it was windy outside, Tang Chuan couldn't help tightening his coat and shivering.

Tang Chuan peeked through the glass window with his head slightly, and saw Zhang Wei kneeling in front of Fang Hong begging.Zhang Wei knew that Li Yaman would not let him go, so he begged Fang Hongnian to let him live in his later years after he had worked for Fang Hong for many years.Seeing that Fang Hong had remained silent and seemed unwilling to help him, Zhang Wei changed his mind and threatened Fang Hong to be a tainted witness.

It turned out that after Zhang Wei kidnapped Xiaomin's younger brother, he handed it over to Fang Hong, a middleman, who let Fang Hong sell it.Fang Hong was also a human trafficker.Later, he came into contact with the drug business and made more profits from drug trafficking, so he stopped doing child trafficking.Zhang Wei followed Fang Hong to establish a relationship with Myanmar at the border, so he can be regarded as a hero who founded the country, but recently Zhang Wei's troubles have become bigger and bigger, and he doesn't know how to restrain himself, which led to his murder.

"How dare you threaten Brother Hong?"

Li Yaman frowned, the eyes staring at Zhang Wei could no longer hide the killing intent.

"You forced me! Brother Hong," Zhang Wei wanted to approach Fang Hong, but Mingcheng immediately stopped him, "As long as you let me live and give me 1000 million yuan in pensions, I promise that I will never betray you in this life." ..."

Li Yaman winked at Mingcheng impatiently, Mingcheng stretched out his hand and gave a heavy blow from the back, Zhang Wei's body went limp and fainted on the ground.

"Brother Hong, I'm sorry. Should such a thing happen on your birthday? It's just that this person is too annoying, leaving him behind will only cause endless trouble."

"I know."

Fang Hong sighed lightly, not knowing whether it was because of Zhang Wei or because the birthday would be messed up, then turned and walked out of the study.

"Clean it up and don't leave any tails behind."

After Li Yaman took out a syringe from the handbag and handed it to Mingcheng, he followed Fang Hong and left.

When Tang Chuan was about to go back to the next-door terrace the way he came, he suddenly heard Mingcheng's voice.

"It's easy to run into them when you walk now."

Tang Chuan was taken aback.It turned out that Mingcheng had already discovered Tang Chuan who had been hiding on the terrace.Now that he had been discovered, Tang Chuan walked into the study calmly.

"Since you're here, you have to do something. Help me check the computer."

While talking, Mingcheng gave an injection to Zhang Wei who was lying unconscious on the ground.

"what is that?"

"□□."

Tang Chuan looked at the syringe in Mingcheng's hand.A dose like that can absolutely kill a person.

"You're killing people."

"Otherwise, can you save him?" Mingcheng didn't look up, and was still doing what he had to do calmly, "Don't be a mother, let's see if there is anything useful in the computer."

Tang Chuan quickly turned on the computer on the desk.

"There are two folders that require a password to open." Tang Chuan tapped his fingers on the keyboard quickly, trying to find out the password. "It would be great if I could copy all these files away."

Mingcheng took out a memory stick from his pocket and threw it to Tang Chuan.Tang Chuan looked at Mingcheng with some surprise.

"You came prepared."

"I'm always ready to fight."

Mingcheng took a few photos with his mobile phone and sent them to Ji Bai, then helped Zhang Wei up with some difficulty, stuffed him into the cabinet and locked him, planning to transport the body out after the birthday party was over, yes, when the time came he would Should be dead.

Tang Chuan copied all the materials that could be copied from the computer into the memory stick, and then gave the memory stick back to Mingcheng, but Mingcheng didn't take it.

"You leave it to Ji Bai."

Tang Chuan understood.It's safest to let him take him out of this room, besides, Mingcheng doesn't know when he will be able to see Ji Bai.

Mingcheng first slightly opened the door of the study room and looked out. Seeing that there was no one around, he waved Tang Chuan to leave quickly.

Mingcheng closed the door of the study room and told Tang Chuan to leave in a low voice, but Tang Chuan suddenly pushed Mingcheng, and then he clenched his fist and swung at Mingcheng. Just when he was about to scold him for what he was going to do for no apparent reason, Tang Chuan said softly, "Catch me!"

Mingcheng was startled, and then saw Fang Hong and Li Yaman appearing in the corridor, they didn't know why they fell back again.Mingcheng understood in an instant that Tang Chuan chose to expose himself, and if he didn't do so, Mingcheng would be exposed as well.

"What happened?" Fang Hong looked at the two young men, although he had roughly guessed what was going on.

"I found him on the balcony of the study."

At this time, there was the sound of high heels thumping again, and everyone turned their heads to look around. When Tang Chuan saw Xiang Ziying walking over, he secretly cried out in his heart.

"Sorry, I haven't been able to find you since I came out of the bathroom, I thought..."

"It's okay, you go down and wait for me."

Tang Chuan hurriedly wanted to send Xiang Ziying away, but Fang Hong said, "Then you can come together."

That cold sentence made Tang Chuan shudder.Xiang Ziying had already seen that something had happened to Tang Chuan, but she still stood beside Tang Chuan without hesitation and followed him without hesitation.Under Li Yaman's surveillance, Tang Chuan and Xiang Ziying followed Fang Hong to another room.Mingcheng originally wanted to follow, but Li Yaman refused. She asked him to stay and deal with Zhang Wei's body.

Fang Hong led Tang Chuan and Xiang Ziying into a guest room, and Li Yaman locked the door immediately.

"What do you know?"

"Child abduction, murder, drug trafficking, is there anything else I don't know?"

"Do you have evidence?"

"The police will find it sooner or later."

"Chuan'er, you know that I don't always like to be lively. This time I held such a grand birthday party because I really plan to retire."

"But what you've done doesn't disappear when you retire."

"So you're not going to let me go?"

"Didn't you think that it would end like today?"

"Yes. I just didn't think it would be you who would denounce me."

"So you're planning to silence it too?"

Tang Chuan saw that Li Yaman had already taken out the gun from his handbag, and couldn't help holding Xiang Ziying's hand tightly beside him.Fang Hong looked at Tang Chuan for a long time, and could see that he was hesitating.

"Let them go inside."

Fang Hong pointed to a wardrobe in the corner.

"Brother Hong!"

Li Yaman originally wanted to dissuade her, but she also knew that the friendship between Fang Hong and Tang Chuan was not simple, and it was expected that Fang Hong could not do anything.

Riyaman reluctantly opened the closet, pressed a switch, and a door in the closet opened.It turned out that there was a dark room behind the closet.After Li Yaman pushed Tang Chuan and Xiang Ziying in, he closed the door of the dark room.

The darkroom is not big, it can only accommodate about five people, and there is only one small lamp.Tang Chuan pushed the door and found that it could only be opened from the outside.

"I'm sorry, but it still hurts you in the end."

This was the first time Tang Chuan said sorry to Xiang Ziying, because this time he really didn't know if he could save each other's lives.
