Department of State Crime Research Office.

It was already eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, and the lights in the director's office were still on.

Wang Pengze had just had a video chat with an old friend abroad. After learning something, he put on reading glasses and looked through the files.

He received a voice message, which was playing on the phone, and it was his little grandson nμ who yelled angrily: "Why doesn't grandpa come to see me? When will we be able to finish catching the bad guys?"

Wang Pengze couldn't help smiling.

Then another one was played, and it was his daughter-in-law, "Dad, you are about to retire, how can you stand up to this? I want to see you, and I have been refusing to sleep today."

Wang Pengze replied: "It's okay, I know my own body. You let my daughter go to sleep quickly."

His daughter-in-law came back again: "Chief Zhan's wife gave birth, and in two days we will have a full moon wine at Longxingda Hotel. Dad, Section Chief Zhan has always said that he wants to invite you to participate. Look, do you want to take time off then?" Go there? That kid is pretty cute."

Wang Pengze said: "I'm not familiar with the people in the information department, what's the matter? Why, he has a father-in-law who is the secretary of the provincial party committee, so I want to give him face?... Just give me a red envelope."

After a pause, Wang Pengze picked up the snoμ machine again and added: "It's only 200 yuan, is there more?"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of Wang Pengze's office.

Wang Pengze frowned. There should be no one in Dalou at this time. Who would knock on the door?

He became vigilant, first put all the files and files in the drawer, and then searched around for the weapons of sんnoμ. Before he could find them, Wang Pengze heard a familiar voice from outside.

"teacher."

Wang Pengze: "..."

He opened the Kαi door, and saw Jiang Hansheng standing in the white light in a single shirt, with slippers on his feet, in such a cold night.

He has known Jiang Hansheng for so long, he has only seen him dressed meticulously and vigorously, but he has never seen Jiang Hansheng come to the door with disheveled clothes and slippers.

Jiang Hansheng didn't show any extra expression, he just pursed his thin lips and said, "Teacher, I seem to have screwed up everything."

Doesn't Wang Pengze know his student?You don't need to ask too much, you know that the matter is more or less related to Zhou Jin.

He Da sighed, and said: "I'm getting old, Han Sheng, you can save me worry."

106

No one's house is too empty, and there is a kind of coldness that cannot be warmed.

Zhou Jin seemed to be entangled in the darkness, curled up in a corner with her knees hugged, and fell asleep as if she couldn't wake up.

She saw Zhou Chuan again.

On the street in Zhizi Lane where there is light snow, the street lamps shed a small piece of light, and the snowflakes are rustling on the ground.

They stood in that light and shadow.

Zhou Chuan, wearing a neat military uniform, knelt down in front of her on one knee.He took off his warm underwear, put it on Zhou Jin's little underwear, and held her flushed cheeks in frustration.

Zhou Chuan said, "Let's be cold."

She shook her toμ, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, can you not leave?"

He's going to the army, or he's going somewhere far away.Arriving since childhood, Zhou Chuan has never left Zhou Jin, and she doesn't want Zhou Chuan to leave kαi.

"Brother can't stay with you all the time." Zhou Chuan said, "You must be obedient at home, and anyone who dares to bully you should go to Jiang Cheng."

Jiang Cheng was standing not far behind her, and came over when Zhou Chuan called his name.The double s0u is copied in his pocket, and he has a bad face that no one pays attention to at a young age.

Looking at him, Zhou Chuan couldn't help smiling, and stretched his arms wide open, wrapping the two children together in his arms.

He beat Jiang Cheng's head, and said, "You are a man, and you have to take care of sister Xie, do you hear me?"

"You still need to say it?"

Jiang Cheng disliked his numbness, and quickly withdrew from his embrace.

Looking at Zhou Chuan, after a pause, Jiang Cheng breathed out a breath of white mist, and said in a low voice, "Brother, you have to come back early."

The corner of Zhou Chuan's lips curled into a smile.

Zhou Jin pouted beside her, determined not to make Zhou Chuan worry about her, so she said firmly, "I won't cry."

On a light snowy night, Jiang Cheng pulled Zhou Jin's 0u up, and watched Zhou Chuan, who was in military uniform, turn and leave kαi.

Zhou Chuan walked very slowly, but never returned to μ, and finally disappeared into the vast snowy night.

On the way home, Zhou Jin just kept her head down, watching her boots creak in the snow.

Jiang Cheng led her halfway and said, "Now you can cry."

Zhou Jin didn't lift toμ, but clenched Jiang Cheng's s0u finger, and continued to shake toμ, "I won't cry..."

But when she finished speaking, tears fell from her eyes.

She shed tears as she walked, and said stubbornly, "I didn't cry."

Not long after, she heard Jiang Cheng sigh helplessly: "Xiao Wu, what do you want me to do?"

When Zhou Jin came back to her senses, she suddenly found that the s0u holding Jiang Cheng was empty. At some point, Jiang Cheng had already walked a long way ahead.

She was a little scared and stumbled to catch up.

The street lamp seemed to be broken, the street was pitch black, there was no light behind Zhou Chuanli in the direction of kαi, and the road ahead was also gone, but she didn't dare to go back to toμ, so she could only run forward with her eyes closed.

She stumbled heavily on her footsteps, and her body fell to the ground involuntarily. In an instant, the expected pain did not come, and a soft arm supported her firmly.

She was pulled into his arms by that man and bumped against his firm and warm chest.

He smelled very bad.

Zhou Jin raised her toμ in surprise, and saw that the man had a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes, thin lips with a gentle smile, and called her: "Zhou Jin."

The windows were left open, the tulle curtains were blown by the wind, and the cold mockery quickly filled the entire room.

Zhou Jin trembled all over, and woke up so easily, she fell into the darkness when she opened her eyes, and the person who called her name disappeared in front of her eyes.After a while, she realized that she had fallen asleep in the entrance, and her back was covered in cold sweat.

The s0u phone rang over and over again.

With her eyes closed, she smoothed her sweaty hair, and then braced herself up to answer the phone.

Over there, Yan Bin yelled over there with a loud voice, "Xiao Wu, you're going to die and never answer the phone?!"

Zhou Jin frowned, suppressed the irritability in her heart, and asked him, "What's the matter?"
