Hua Xin was so disturbed that she subconsciously turned her head to look at the people around her.Wen Xu said with emotion: "I'm probably the first one to be tricked by my future self. You said, if I apply for a Guinness or something, will I be able to pass?"

Hua Xin's face became more and more gloomy, and he smiled warmly, comforting him: "Don't think so much, the soldiers come to cover up the water and the earth, it's useless if you think too much, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. So, Watch the road carefully, boss."

After Wen Xu finished speaking, he leaned his head back and put all his weight on the seat. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see the scenery passing by outside the car, trees, buildings, white lines, and lights. Street lights, as if there is no end.

hell?When my father died, I didn't feel that life was hell. Although my mother was terrified when she died, she didn't feel that I was falling into hell. Even when I knew that my grandma was terminally ill, I didn't think so...

The mobile phone that had just hung up on the multi-person call rang again, and there was a voice coming in. He clicked on it warmly, and heard the vice president say: We have found out who is the inner ghost, Minister Wei of the Technology Department.You finish the affairs over there, and if there are no urgent problems, you all come back to the headquarters.

At the end of the speech, Wen Xu's eyes were wide open, after all, he never thought that the boss of the technical house is an inner ghost.

Hua Xin didn't seem surprised: "It's reasonable."

"Reasonable?" Wen Xu asked puzzledly, "Do you think it's reasonable for Minister Wei to be an insider?"

"Of course, after all, there are not many people who have access to the core information of our team. Moreover, he is also the boss of the technical department, so it is easy to grasp every step of our actions."

but……

"Boss, aren't you angry?" Seeing you like this, why don't you feel pain or itching?

Hua Xin smiled lazily, and said lightly: "It's just a minister, why should I be angry? Just kill me, get angry, it's useless."

You are mighty, you are domineering, you win!

Wen Xu smiled and moved to the side, and said, "Then let's talk privately."

Hua Xin glanced at him with a serious expression: "What private words?"

Wen Xu said mysteriously, "Besides Li Yuexi, have you ever doubted Luo Jian?"

Hua Xin asked back, "Why do you think so?"

"I always feel that there are some things that you deliberately exclude him from."

So, although Wen Xu is a rookie, she is also a very keen rookie.Hua Xin said frankly that she did doubt Luo Jian, but she didn't tell Wen Xu about this because she was afraid that he would have psychological pressure.In fact, a few hours ago, he was still suspicious of Luo Jian.

"Why?" Wen Xu didn't understand, "I mean, why did you exclude him?"

Hua Xin laughed, "I think for myself."

Wen Xu curled her lips: "I'm just wondering, Li Yuexi and Luo Jian are both 'outsiders' to you, I understand that you doubt them, but why don't you doubt Du Zhongbo? He is also an 'outsider'."

Hua Xin replied casually: "Because he is Du Zhongbo."

"What do you mean?"

"Think for yourself."

Want to "think" again?My brain cells are dying these days!

Ten minutes later, the group arrived at Jiang Lu's secret apartment, Room 2 on the top floor of a certain building in a certain community.The door was easily opened, and Hua Xin and Wen Xu walked in first - the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows were drawn tightly, making the light in the apartment very dim, and the one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment was full of garbage. Noodles, bento boxes, biscuit and bread bags, mineral water bottles, discarded socks, etc.There was a mattress in the middle of the trash, the poor thing was the only household item in the whole apartment.

Wen Xu couldn't imagine that that clean and beautiful Jiang Lu lived in such an environment.

Jiang Lu's secret apartment environment did not arouse Hua Xin's emotions. He looked around and said to the support department: "Let's get started."

A technician stepped forward and said, "The space is limited and cannot accommodate so many people. Go out and wait."

Hua Xin nodded: "Wen Xu, you guys go out and wait."

Wen Xu greeted Li Yuexi obediently, and left the apartment.Du Zhongbo originally followed, but was stopped by Hua Xin within a few steps.

Du Zhongbo's face is innocent - isn't it?I don't really want to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Hua Xin glared—then why do I need you?

Du Zhongbo nodded bitterly—yes, I'm unlucky!

After Du Zhongbo was settled, Hua Xin turned back to the window. Instead of following the people from the support department to search here, he took out a cigarette and lit it, facing the old curtain, smoking.No one could see his face, no one knew what he was thinking, and in fact, no one paid him any attention.

The cigarette was only smoked once, and the off-white smoke was released leisurely between his fingers. Hua Xin seemed to be frozen, standing motionless in front of the window.It wasn't until the cigarette burned out by itself, and the scarlet cigarette butt burned my fingers, that I suddenly woke up.

at the same time.

"You have to tell me clearly." Wen Xu pulled Li Yuexi to a corner, and began to ask, "What was it like when I beat the boss?"

Li Yuexi pursed her lips and blinked her eyes: "You look almost forty, your hair is much grayer, your body is much stronger, and you have great strength."

"You don't need to emphasize the three words 'extra big'."

"Then it's gone. Really, I just woke up at that time, and I was already dizzy, and I still have to remember what you explained. I really didn't remember many details."

Wen Xu raised her eyebrows: "Really?"

"Really, when did I lie to you?"

Wen Xu clicked her tongue: "Okay, I believe you."

Du Zhongbo, who was hiding aside, thought to himself—the good boy is deceiving, and every time he deceives, he is sure.

Li Yuexi deceived everyone except Du Zhongbo all at once, even he himself didn't know whether it was good or bad, but he couldn't forget the look in Hua Xin's eyes when he saw the warmth of the future.It's really heartbreaking, but there's nothing you can do about it.For the rest of his life, he never wanted to see that look again.

Hua Xin stood in front of the curtain and lit another cigarette. Before he had taken two puffs, someone from the support department called him in the bathroom: "Hua Xin, there is something here."

Hua Xin hurriedly turned around and walked into the bathroom, only to see that a person from the support department was stepping on the toilet, and took out a black laptop from the ceiling with his high raised hand.Hua Xin recognized at a glance that this notebook was the one lost by the Supervisory Committee.

In the honeycomb incident, Li Yuexi once used it!

The staff of the technical department took the notebook into their hands, moved it to the main hall, sat down on the mattress, was slightly startled after turning it on, and raised his head to look at Hua Xin: "The password has been changed."

Hua Xin squeezed the space between her eyebrows and asked, "How long will it take you to crack the code?"

"About 10 minutes."

Hua Xin nodded: "Let's get started." After saying that, the phone in his pocket vibrated, and he took it out to see that it was a picture sent by Du Zhongbo to WeChat.

In the picture, Luo Jian is hiding on the side of the building, watching Li Yuexi and Wen Xu secretly.

What does this kid want to do?Just after sending the photo to Hua Xin, Du Zhongbo stroked his unshaven chin, thinking about Luo Jian.Although Du Zhongbo is definitely not a technical geek, and he doesn't understand technical nerds, but since he met Li Yuexi, he has affirmed a truth-the more ink in his stomach, the more complicated his thoughts.So, don't look at Luo Jian as cowardly as the third grandson, he has a bigger brain than anyone else.As the old saying goes, don't be afraid of thieves stealing, but be afraid of thieves thinking about it.What is Luo Jian thinking about again?

Few people go out in the community in the deep winter. Most of the scattered pedestrians are wrapped in hats and scarves. They are in a hurry because they are afraid of the cold, and they don't pay attention to the strangers gathered in front of a certain building.This piece of green garden is well repaired, big and small trees are lined up layer by layer, covered with tree hangs, white snow is heavily pressed on the branches, as if it will fall down at any time.

The technicians who stayed in the apartment had already cracked the power-on code, and the desk was empty, with nothing on it.The technician tapped the keyboard with ten fingers quickly, and found the hidden folder within a minute.

There are two video files and one document file in the file.Look at the format is not big.

Hua Xin asked the technician to play the first video.

The video started to play, and it looked like it was intercepted from a surveillance camera - an L-shaped corridor, the floor was very clean, reflecting the veins of the ceiling, two closed doors, one near the left corner The window, because of the angle, can only see half of it.

Hua Xin frowned, unable to tell where the video was shot, and there was no sound in the video, only a frozen picture.

This monotonous scene lasted for five minutes and 18 seconds, when suddenly the window at the corner was opened, and a figure leaped into the corridor.

Someone exclaimed: "It's Jiang Lu!"

Hua Xin hastily rushed forward.Jiang Lu in the picture seems to be avoiding something, looking back from time to time.She didn't seem to have a clear destination, pushing those doors one by one, but none of them opened.Finally, she ran out of the monitoring camera range.

How is this going?Everyone present did not understand.

Suddenly, Jiang Lu returned to the corridor.This time, she looked much calmer, but a little out of breath.She cautiously walked to the middle of the corridor, raised her hand and rubbed her shoulders, then turned around abruptly, with her head raised slightly.

"She's looking at the camera!" the technician asserted.

Hua Xin didn't say a word, but concentrated on watching the next video content.

Jiang Lu walked slowly under the camera, took out a short dagger from her pocket, rolled up the sleeve of her left arm, and cut blood on her arm with the dagger.Once, once, again...

The creepy atmosphere spread from the screen, infecting everyone.The technician opened his mouth, frowned, and subconsciously said, "She, is she bleeding herself?"

Hua Xin fixed her eyes on Jiang Lu in the video without blinking, and suddenly said, "No, she is carving words."

The technician shuddered, and quickly took a screenshot to enlarge the resolution, and soon the words with blood appeared. It was a time, which was consistent with the time displayed in the lower right corner of the monitor.

Hua Xin thought to herself: Why did she engrave the time on her arm?What is the meaning of this time to her, it must be engraved.

"Back back until she looks back at the camera." Hua Xin said urgently.

The progress bar was pulled to the left, Jiang Lu ran back from outside the camera range, stopped in the middle of the corridor, and suddenly turned to look at the camera.

"Closer!" Hua Xin called out.

The technician moved swiftly and enlarged Jiang Lu's face.The people around the notebook subconsciously held their breath and stared straight at Jiang Lu.

In the slowed-down playback state, Jiang Lu's face was a bit weird, but everyone could see that her mouth opened and closed.

"She spoke." Hua Xin verified her suspicion, and grabbed the technician's shoulder, "Find a way to read the lips."

"Give me five minutes."

1 minute is not a long time for them, and the process of interpreting lip language is not complicated, besides, no one cares about this process, what everyone expects is the result after interpretation.When a few words appeared on the screen, everyone's eyes widened—Bau Xing was back.

who is back?

Someone asked puzzledly: "Who is the broom star Jiang Lu is talking about?"

Hua Xin's face darkened, and he took out his mobile phone and sent Du Zhongbo a message - call Wen Xu and come in.

Not long after, hurried footsteps came from outside the apartment. Du Zhongbo walked into the apartment first, followed by Wen Wen and Luo Jian, and Li Yuexi was the last to go in.

Hua Xin called them over, pointed to the notebook, and said, "Let's take a look."

Wen Xu leaned over and turned her head, just in time to see Jiang Lu being frozen on the screen, she was slightly taken aback: "Isn't this the day of the hive?"

Hua Xin: "Are you sure?"

"Sure." He said, pointing his finger at Jiang Lu's head, "She sat next to me when we set off that day, and I was very impressed with her earrings, with a snake on the right and a bird on the left." After finishing speaking , looked up at Hua Xin and Du Zhongbo, "When we were retreating, the little bird was lost. Didn't you notice it?"

Hua Xin and Du Zhongbo shook their heads together. Did Jiang Lu wear earrings that day?

Wen Xu rolled her eyes and continued, "It must be the day of the hive. I remember that her left arm seemed to be injured, and there was blood on the sleeve."

Everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Lu's left arm. After the engraving, she put down her sleeve, and her coat was stained with blood.

Hua Xin returned to her usual calm state. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "You guys watch the video."

Wen Xu leaned on Hua Xin's shoulder, Du Zhongbo squeezed the technicians, Luo Jian and Li Yuexi stretched their necks to look inside.The video started to play, and the long corridor was empty and deserted.

After watching the short video, several people who followed were wondering: what did Jiang Lu mean.Vaguely, they all thought that it should have something to do with Hua Xin, but it was hard for anyone to ask about it, as there was one person in the room, and they all looked at Wen Xu eagerly.

At this time, Du Zhongbo was the one who murmured: "I remember this notebook, it was used by Li Yuexi in my ward on the day of the hive. I remember, did you read all the monitoring at that time?"

Li Yuexi turned her head to look at Du Zhongbo who was asking her a question, and replied, "I've seen it, I remember her running back and forth in the corridor, but I didn't notice that she had engraved words on her arm."

Wen Xu helped Li Yuexi explain: "The situation was very critical at that time, and Yuexi's attention was all on the exhibition hall on the second floor, and it was normal not to notice Jiang Lu."

Before everyone had any questions, Hua Xin said, "Watch the next video."

The technicians did not dare to neglect, and immediately clicked on the second video.When the player screen changed, everyone was surprised.

The person who appeared on the screen was 09 who had died in the line of duty.

In the video, 09 looks tired and anxious, sitting on a chair and stretching out his hand towards the camera, the picture shakes twice, it seems that he is adjusting the angle.

09 sat down again, and before speaking, his brows were already furrowed—Minister, I never doubted your decision, but this time I hope you will think twice.I'm not afraid, I'm worried that you have no way out.

Speaking of this, 09 paused, with a bit of anger and anxiety on his expression—has he ever given you half a promise for so many years?You put your own future in it for him, and you also put your life in it, is it worth it?I don't mean to disparage him, as a colleague, I have great respect for him.As a man, I don't have any position to slander him, because he didn't lie to you, but he didn't accept you at all.Why can't you figure it out?Even if you give him your life, he will not love you.

09 smiled self-deprecatingly: We have known each other for such a long time, except for reporting work, I don't seem to have talked to you so much.I know you don't want to get me involved, but you got me into trouble when you asked me to steal the notebook.All I can do for you now is pull you back.So, if you don't call me after an hour, I'll go to him and explain everything.

The video seemed to end there, 09 was a little agitated, and stretched out his hand to turn off the power with a gloomy expression.Halfway through his hand, he stopped.He blinked twice, raised his eyes to look directly at the camera, and said slowly: Jiang Lu, forget about him.

At the end of the progress bar, the screen went black.The apartment was silent.

09 Who is the "he" that Jiang Lu forgot? Everyone knows it well, but who dares to say it?The atmosphere in the apartment suddenly became depressing, and everyone's breathing became cautious. No one observed Hua Xin openly, and everyone's attention was on him.

Hua Xin put her hands behind her back, with a calm expression on her face.It seems that 09's words didn't mention him at all.

Wen Xu suddenly said: "I understand. Jiang Lu didn't contact 09 after watching this video, so 09 went to my boss to explain the situation. Jiang Lu should stop him." After speaking, she looked up at Hua Xin, "However, 09 didn't find you, and was killed instead. The news of the murderer came too soon, right?"

Everyone's hearts were raised in their throats—this is a warm and daring thing to say.

Hua Xin nodded, as usual, she just pointed to the notebook and said calmly: "Look at the document that we will meet later."

The technician wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and clicked on the last document, a few very short words - Coastal 12 midnight be there or be square.

What do you mean?

Everyone looked at Wen Xu in unison—ask quickly!

Wen Xu didn't say a word, looking a bit confused.

Hua Xin looked away from the laptop screen, and said to the people in the technical department and the support department: "You stay and continue to check, and give me the notebook." After speaking, he slowly turned and walked out. He said calmly, "Come with me."

Waiting for Hua Xin and Wen Xu to walk out of the apartment, Du Zhongbo smacked his tongue: "Children love each other, but heroes are short of breath. Oh, why are you stepping on me?"

Li Yuexi gave Du Zhongbo a blank look, and dragged him towards the outside of the apartment.By the way, he also greeted Luo Jian who was standing in the corner.

Back in the car, Hua Xin took out the cigarette case in his pocket, fiddled with it twice in his hand, and suddenly fell hard under his feet.Holding his head in his hands, he let out a heavy sigh, as if exhaling all his life energy.

Wen Xu always felt that a person like the boss must have had an unusual growth experience. After going through thousands of sails and looking back at the world, love, hatred, and hatred are clearly laid out, and he is not confused or burdened by it.It is a beautiful scenery when walking on the street, and it is a reliable pillar when returning home.No matter whether you are a philanderer or an unforgettable person, he can put it right and proper.

You said he was rich, and you didn’t see him go out to spend money. The life he likes most is staying at home, holding the cat on the recliner and watching himself busy.A cup of coffee will suffice, and a fish will suffice.But now there is neither coffee nor fish.

I miss the rabbit a little bit, if the little master is here, Hua Xin might be happier.

Wen Xu bent down to pick up the cigarette case, took out one from inside, lit it with a lighter, and took a puff.He doesn't know how to smoke, and he almost became a Buddha with this one.The violent coughing didn't attract Hua Xin's attention, so Wen Xu babbled, pushed Hua Xin, and handed the cigarette to his mouth.

During Huaxin's time, there was only one burning cigarette, a dirty finger, and the peculiar smell of disinfectant on the finger. It was not pungent, but it didn't smell very good, like tobacco. Mixed together, it looks like fallen leaves that have been burned after autumn.

The fallen leaves in the courtyard were all warmly burned.He said he learned it from his grandma.

Hua Xin opened her mouth unconsciously, the cigarette was stuffed into her mouth, and she took a puff. The strange smell disappeared, and she recalled in a daze that many smells are unique to Wenxin, like fallen leaves mixed with tobacco.

It was cold when he held the cigarette between his fingers, but he rubbed it with warm fingers and felt the warmth, so he stopped shaking.

"Her name is Wu Fei, and she entered the headquarters five years ago." Hua Xin's voice still sounded nice, and her tone was very flat, "She is my partner and my ex-girlfriend."

Even though I had been prepared for a long time, I still felt a little sour when I heard him say it himself.

"At that time, we..." Hua Xin paused in his narration, and said briefly, "The relationship is very good."

Wen Xu was silent for a long time, and finally said "Oh".

Hua Xin suddenly closed her eyes forcefully, took a deep breath of the cigarette, and let it out heavily.

Everything is vivid, but cannot touch the edge.

Hua Xin lowered her head, fiddled with the cigarette case, and said in a low voice, "It's me and the supervisor who are sorry for her. Me, I also have very despicable..."

"I knew you were despicable." Wen Wen coldly interrupted this self-confession.

Hua Xin was taken aback for a moment, feeling that the atmosphere was not right, and asked "Huh?" in bewilderment.

Wen Xu rolled her eyes, "You threatened me on the first day I met you. At that time, I thought you were a despicable person. Of course, it was my lack of self-discipline that made you catch me. Now, I don't want to comment Whoever you are sorry for, I want to know what happened back then. Keep talking, thank you!"

Hua Xin squinted her eyes and stared at Wen Xu, as if she had something to say, but she had no power to resist Wen Xu's rebuttal.

Wen Xu urged impatiently: "Don't be hypocritical, let's talk about the matter, right?"

Boss Hua's bitterness accumulated for many years was finally able to be poured out, but Wen Xu didn't buy it at all.As the person involved, Hua Xin was of course dumbfounded.

With a serious expression of indifference, Wen Xu straightened her body and said lightly: "You said, you will be thirty this year, and your relationship history in 30 years cannot be blank. Even someone like me has a terrible first love." , let alone you. Right? So let’s not talk about this one, let’s talk about the important ones.”

This is to be confused?Still jealous?Hua Xin was dumbfounded, not sure what routine Wen Xu was going to do, and continued to be confused.Wen Xu glanced at the notebook thrown on the back seat, her face was written all over - bad heart.

"And about Jiang Lu." Wen Wen said dissatisfiedly, "09 is right, even if Jiang Lu gave you her life, you would not fall in love with her. Even if we hadn't met, you two would have nothing to do. Besides, I You can't think that Jiang Lu's series of actions are for you. This matter, I think you are being sentimental. Shut up and don't interrupt me!"

Hua Xin didn't even have a chance to speak, so he was "silenced" by Wen Xu, who continued to say like beans in a bamboo tube: "In the honeycomb incident, we thought that there were two people in the double-arc jump, but now it must be three people. The three of them are Wu Fei. And Jiang Lu's behavior started to be weird after the honeycomb incident, that is to say, when we were working hard in the exhibition hall on the second floor that day, she met Wu Fei outside the corridor, but after Wu Fei returned to the correct time , she doesn't remember anything, that's why Jiang Lu talked to the monitor. She said it to herself. Because, she carved the time on her arm. Who is free to play with a knife? Wu Fei returned to the correct time Later, she completely forgot about it, but when she saw the lettering on her arm, she must look for the reason. That's why she asked 09 to steal the notebook used by Li Yuexi. Only that notebook recorded all of the honeycomb. Details. Hua Xin, please clarify for me, Jiang Lu wants to investigate Wu Fei! Her death was a death in the line of duty, not for you! This matter has nothing to do with you!"

At this moment, Hua Xin's mind was completely blank.

Do you know who loves you the most in this world?Maybe you don't know, maybe you have many names to say, but the first person you think of when you hear this question must be the one you care about the most.

It has nothing to do with temperament, it's human nature.

I don't know when, the first person Hua Xin thought of was Wen Xu.She obviously thought she knew him well, but was caught off guard by his "beating" inadvertently.Wen Xu is sometimes stupid, thinking that a long-hidden love and hatred can be easily resolved. This is like a very smart puppy. Seeing that its master is sad, it rolls on the ground, and Bo Jun smiles.

If you really understand, just laugh, don't let his face be covered with dust, and hold up a sky for you.
