step by step addiction

At five o'clock in the morning, the cold air on the open-air balcony was terribly cold, and the thin summer blankets could not resist the cold air of several degrees below zero, but the people on the rattan chair seemed to be unconscious.

He picked up the phone from the ground and turned off the seven o'clock alarm clock, but after a short pause, he slid his thumb and deleted the alarm clock completely.

Get up, carefully fold the thin blanket into a square, then put it on your arm and enter the room.

He stood at the end of the bed, looked at the empty big bed with only two pillows, and frowned slightly.

After a while, he placed the thin blanket at the end of the bed, then picked up the two pillows at the head of the bed and put them in the cloakroom.

The bedroom was already minimalist, but now even the bedding was gone.My heart seemed to have been dug out suddenly, and my whole body screamed in pain.

Zhuang Yan backed away subconsciously, took a few strides back to the cloakroom, took out the two pillows, and placed them on the head of the bed again.

He stared at the two pillows leaning against each other, dazed.

The piece of heart that was taken away came back.And everything in front of him turned into a white fishing line, which penetrated into his heart, entwined round and round, and as he breathed, it became tighter and tighter, and finally embedded in his flesh.

As if trying to struggle desperately, my heart beat harder and faster each time.

Even though the balcony was wide open, he felt that the air here was being pulled away bit by bit, and the surroundings gradually became vacuum, suffocating.

He turned around and left the room in a hurry, with a look of embarrassment and pain in his eyes.

......

At six o'clock in the morning, the majestic procuratorate was still covered in night, only the corner of the third floor was lit. From a distance, it looked like a lighthouse on the sea, lonely and deserted.

Several cleaning aunts walked into the building together. Someone saw the light on and said, "The new prosecutor seems desperate. He comes every day at five or six o'clock. I heard that he won't go back until early in the evening. .”

"It's said that he's one of the top three candidates for new officials. Everyone calls him the King of Hades, and it will be bad luck for anyone who follows him."

"Yes, yes, every time I enter his office to mop the floor and take out the garbage, my heart tightens. He didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to breathe."

Someone laughed and said, "In the whole procuratorate, except for the Chief Prosecutor and his own assistants, no one dares to talk to him."

The cleaning aunts chatted for a while, separated in the elevator, and went to their own cleaning areas.

Wei Hong arrived at the company at 08:30, instead of entering his office, he pushed open the door of Zhuang Yan's office.

"It's so early again, how many hours do you sleep every day?" Wei Hong said displeased: "Starting tomorrow, you are not allowed to come to the office before [-]:[-] in the morning, and you are not allowed to stay in the office after [-]:[-] in the evening."

Zhuang Yan didn't raise his eyelids, and said flatly, "There are many things."

Wei Hong randomly pulled a stool and sat down, "There are many things, but I didn't ask you to solve them all immediately. You turn yourself like a spinning top. If your body breaks down one day, I will lose it. I will find it later." You go alone."

"Two years can last." Zhuang Yan said.

Wei Hong frowned, and he also knew that there would be no result in the debate on this matter now, so he said in another way: "The city police reported that you always keep an eye on them and look for them every now and then. You have to worry about ordering sesame mung beans, isn't it true?"

"Ah."

Wei Hong wondered, "Did they offend you?"

"No." Zhuang Yan kept his eyes on the computer, and said casually, "They are the image of security in City A. I just have higher demands on them from the perspective of citizens."

Wei Hong couldn't refute, so he paused, and could only take a breath, "Then don't worry too much, you can't be busy with bigger troubles, don't waste too much time and energy on small things."

Zhuang Yan was quiet before saying, "Understood."

Wei Hong stood up.Although Zhuang Yan was not wrong to be woken up early in the morning by the call from the people over there, it was really unreasonable to keep staring at him all the time.

"Remember what I said, you must leave work before seven o'clock, and you are not allowed to enter the company before 08:30, otherwise I will ask someone to add a few more locks for you. If you don't have a key, I will see how you open the door."

After waiting for a while, he heard "Got it" from behind the computer, and Wei Hong finally left satisfied.

After he left, a phone call was made from this office to the Municipal Public Security Department.

The person who answered the phone shouted bitterly to an office, "Deputy Bureau Jin, here we come again..."

Jin An staggered and almost dropped the teacup in his hand.

He laughed stiffly, then turned around and picked up the phone, wanting to cry without tears.

"Has the person not been found yet? How can such a big person hide in the deep mountains and old forests? How could he not be found? Are you serious about your business?"

Furious, and at the same time aggrieved.

The person in charge was also full of grievances, "Deputy Bureau, you also know that you have 24 hours of golden time to find someone, this is all over..." He didn't dare to say more, but the meaning was already very obvious.

Jin An sat down on the chair, with beautiful and sentimental peach blossom eyes, now only regret, annoyance, and helplessness remained.

He had a premonition that Zhuang Yan's hostility towards him might not subside until he found someone.

"Then look for me carefully, as long as you are still alive, there will be no one you can't find." He yelled into the phone, finally venting his depression a little.

......

After Wei Hong returned to the office, the assistant brought him a cup of coffee as usual, and Wei Hong took advantage of the opportunity to chat with the assistant.

"With a capable general, the work is indeed a lot easier, but he works so hard, I'm really afraid that his body won't be able to carry it."

The assistant said slowly: "Rather than fighting hard, I feel that I can't stop, or rather, I dare not stop."

"Huh?" Wei Hong thought for a while and understood, "You mean he is competing with himself?"

The assistant smiled slightly: "Although inspector Zhuang didn't show any emotion on the surface, his eyes were cold and empty, like a robot."

Wei Hong was stunned, and Xuan was a little angry, "This kid, I thought he worked so hard because he didn't want to disappoint my expectations."

As soon as the words were finished, the phone rang, and it was still the number from the morning.

Wei Hong was a little annoyed, "It's the city police again. They have been getting a little tired from Zhuang Yan recently."

"Lawyer Ji Xiao disappeared from the hands of Deputy Director Jin. It is understandable that Zhuang Jian has resentment against him." The assistant said.

Wei Hong was startled at first, but then he remembered that Jin An was indeed mentioned in the documents, and Ji Yunsu disappeared after being taken away by Jin An.

Immediately, he couldn't help laughing again, "I never thought that he would be so emotional, it's really rare."

The phone was still ringing, Wei Hong cut it off casually, "Forget it, it's rare for him to be so narrow-minded, just let him go."

......

After twelve o'clock, the housekeeper brought the last plate of young ginger beef to the table, and then took two sets of bowls and chopsticks, one on the left and one on the right.

The table is full of red dishes, braving spicy heat, just smelling it makes people drool.Of course, it is limited to those who love spicy food, and those who can't eat spicy food will sneeze when they smell it.

The housewife sighed and took out her phone.

"Lawyer Zhuang, the meal is ready."
