Lin Shuicheng tried to steady his voice: "You...was that note for me?"

The man didn't speak, just asked him: "Can you take my car with peace of mind now?"

Lin Shuicheng slowly relaxed his hand holding the door handle.

The man slowly increased his speed, drove into the traffic flow, and continued to drive smoothly.He told Lin Shuicheng: "There is water on the side, and a little painkiller. If you feel uncomfortable, you can take some."

Lin Shuicheng saw the bottle of mineral water, and the pain in the back of his head was still going on, but he didn't move, and he whispered, "Thank you."

He looked at the records of the alarm call that had been dialed and received no response, and suddenly remembered something, and asked anxiously, "I... what happened to me, in the quantum laboratory building..."

"Although the rules say you can't tell, but judging from your recovery, you can remember it after two or three days. I can tell you, but I need you to be honest and don't spread the word, let alone continue to look inside." The man warned When he looked at him, he saw that his face was fixed, frowning and thinking, and shook his head. "You and a professor named Luo Song were attacked in the Quantum Experiment Building. The professor died and died. You got hit and fainted there."

Lin Shuicheng was stunned, and the images that flashed back in his mind seemed to surge, making him seem to have returned to that nightmare again.

He asked in a hoarse voice, "Is it because... the contents of the report were leaked?"

"Don't put pressure on yourself. This leak has nothing to do with either of you. It was leaked seven days ago." The man said, "As for you, my boss hopes that others don't know your existence, because you have added too much to him." What a hassle."

Lin Shuicheng repeated his words: "Your boss?"

The man didn't answer him.He saw Lin Shuicheng's eyes in the rearview mirror—the look of haggardness and weakness after waking up in the ward, but under that kind of pitiful weakness, there was Zhezang's temptation and careful observation.

Not only was this young and beautiful student not as fragile as he had shown, but he had quickly calmed down, trying to dig out any clues from him.

He smiled: "Student Lin has learned a lot of criminal investigation methods in the past few years. It's not so easy to trick me."

Seeing that he saw it, Lin Shuicheng didn't hide it anymore. He whispered: "You have to tell me something behind the scenes. I am a victim and I have the right to know the truth. Why did you find me and send me to the hospital , won’t the police analyze the real situation based on the trace inspection? There were a lot of people present at the time, but the current trace inspection methods can already distinguish more than 700 simultaneous activity traces. Or are you yourself a police or higher-level investigator? ?”

The man didn't speak, he narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Lin Shuicheng whispered: "You can't open that door for me to see, and finally refuse me to enter. Otherwise, I can't think of any reason for you not to involve me in it. Obviously you can leave me there, can't you? Everything that happened after that will not change in any way. You obviously can... you obviously don’t need to tell me where he is buried, why did you send me that note again?"

He tried his best to control the emotion in his voice, so that his voice didn't sound so trembling, "What's my value to you? Is it worth erasing all the traces that have appeared in my life, Chu Shihan?"

The man raised his eyebrows: "Did you find out?"

Lin Shuicheng said: "I attend the annual chemical summit with him, but in all the news records, my name and his name will not appear at the same time, and the photos that appear at the same time will be post-processed or simply removed; the communication company can't find me and him. Even people at the level of General He Muya have not found his existence in my social network."

To this day, he still remembers He Muya saying to him: "In your social network, basically only your tutor and Xiaofu have been in the four years of university."

If it was just suspicion before, then it was confirmation at that moment.

He was removed from Chu Shihan's social network.

For two years, no one except him knew what happened to his lover.A person disappeared from his life, but no one believed that he was dead.

He went to ask Yang Zhiwei, but Yang Zhiwei couldn't explain clearly; he didn't interfere too much with the students' private lives. At that time, Chu Shihan had already finished his master's degree graduation process, and rarely went back to school, but was busy with work.The landlord of Chu Shihan's rental house told him that Chu Shihan didn't renew his contract and checked out on time, saying that he had returned to his family; when he went to report his disappearance, the police only told him: Chu Shihan was alive and well, and he had already married him. Chu Shihan's family members got in touch, but he did not have the contact information of Chu Shihan's family members.

At first, he didn't know what he was looking for.

Looking for proof that a person is dead?

Until the note with the address of the cemetery appeared.

The man still laughed and didn't speak,

Lin Shuicheng said, "Tell me, why did you do this?"

"Believe it or not, this is for your protection." The man said, "Or to put it another way, Student Lin, I know you have a high IQ, and you may know some things just by thinking about it. In the attack, the professor was stabbed in the heart and died on the spot, and you were knocked out, how do you think other people think about this matter?"

He glanced at him: "Especially when the whole world knows that you and him are fighting over the paper, and the insiders know that Random is a high-tech criminal organization."

Lin Shuicheng was stunned: "Will I be suspected of being the murderer...? But even if they suspect, they can find out that I don't have the ability to commit such a crime. It's only a matter of time..."

The man didn't speak again.

He knows how to measure his words very well, and he said a lot of things that Lin Shuicheng has confirmed or will confirm sooner or later.

After a moment of silence, Lin Shuicheng asked, "Is there anything else you can tell me?"

"You are the kind of person who will break through the casserole and ask the end. I will give you some clues. You can spend two years chasing it down. I have known this for a long time." The man said, "Have you heard of an informant?"

"I know." Lin Shuicheng said.

"Informants are divided into red informants and black informants. The former is officially appointed, while the latter is black and black. I am red." The man drove into a stable area, slowed down, reached for a cigarette and lit it. "People with the nature of our work often investigate for more than ten years without any results. A big case may require countless people like me to investigate. When all the clues are integrated, it may be the truth that the higher authorities want... But more often , the task we received was a very calm branch line, even a very slim line with no hope in sight.”

"I have a comrade-in-arms who is a return interview informant. Do you know what kind of job that is? A case has been closed, but the higher-ups suspect that the matter has not been cleared, or suspect that some suspects will move in the future. This is We have been following for more than ten years or even decades, following a line that has no ups and downs and can see the end at a glance, but this is our job. The alliance has no shortage of manpower, and these aspects cannot be replaced by machines.”

The man took a puff of cigarette and looked at Lin Shuicheng: "Do you know how I felt when I saw you for the first time two years ago? I don't think you are in the right shape. As long as you are given a chance, you will do great things, but Lin Shuicheng, your original life should be a very peaceful branch line. When one person is gone, the rest should continue to live. Maybe for you, you think that the data is erased and the connection is cut off, which is very extraordinary There must be a lot of shady things behind it that you need to investigate, but that’s just for you. There are many similar things in the league, you don’t need to get involved, you have no value.”

The man said: "If I hadn't just bumped into you at the scene today, my boss and I wouldn't have noticed you at all. You are so worthless. Do you understand? Don't jump into the fire pit anymore. Those things are all related to you." It doesn't matter to you, you are neither a target nor a clue, so don't waste your efforts."

Lin Shuicheng lowered his eyes and didn't speak, but his tightly pursed lips represented his disapproval.

"That's all I can say." The man said, "We don't have to be so stalemate, you can tell me what you know."

He noticed that the warm air from the air conditioner seemed to make Lin Shuicheng a little uncomfortable, so he reached out to turn it off, and at the same time opened the window in the front seat of the car to blow away the dull atmosphere in the car before continuing to drive.

He thought he couldn't hear Lin Shuicheng's answer, but he didn't expect that after a while, Lin Shuicheng began to speak in a murmur.

"Actually... I don't know much about him." Lin Shuicheng said, "Brother, I'm an undergraduate, and he's a graduate student. I don't usually have the chance to meet him. There was only one time when he discovered that I was cooking illegally in the laboratory. I got acquainted with him slowly. He is a very gentle and introverted person, but I am relatively slow, and I spend all my energy on studying and making money. I took a few projects in my senior year, and I was a little better financially. He also confessed to me, and we are together."

He spoke slowly, "Before we were together, after we were together, there was no difference. He would still take me out to eat, go to the library together, and talk about academic matters together."

"I had a quarrel with him once. After working, he felt that studying chemistry was too tiring. He wanted me to change my major and change my direction. After I came out, I went to work with him." Lin Shuicheng said, "He didn't talk to me. I mentioned his work, but it should be some very important project, because he never told me about it, so I think he should have entered some secret institution."

When he was talking here, the man suddenly interrupted him: "Has he mentioned his family to you?"

Lin Shuicheng was stunned, and then said: "No, only once... He called and asked me to help him get a document and send it downstairs. There was a taxi waiting there. I handed the document to the person in the back seat Gone. Later he told me that his father was sitting in that car."

He took a deep breath, "His parents should be very ordinary working-class people. He didn't spend a lot of money when he was in college, and the money was saved. He planned with me to try to start a company to make money in the future. "

It was so poor back then, and the medical expenses of Lin and others were still not a small burden. He worked overtime in a small rental house of [-] square meters, day and night.

Chu Shihan originally wanted to pick him up to live with him, and also proposed to pay part of Lin's treatment expenses.But he refused - he has his self-esteem, and the rules of dealing with things he has cultivated since he was a child. The two of them will always be AA when they eat. If Chu Shihan gives him a gift, he will definitely return it in return.

Later, Chu Shihan rented a house next door to him.The two young people sat in the room, unable to stretch their bodies when they turned around, discussing algorithms and experimental possibilities head to head, dreaming of making a fortune in the future.

The chief was just picked up at that time, and he lost weight and was a kitten. He was not attached to Chu Shihan, only to him. Lin Shuicheng fed it medicine and goat milk regularly every day. Only the chief's upbringing funds were shared by them.

He talked a lot, and finally found that there was really nothing more to say.

More often than not, he and Chu Shihan are the gentle companions of gentlemen.After four years of undergraduate study, you will not be unfamiliar, but you will not be too close.They can understand each other's feelings, and they can also grasp all the measures. They don't need to say too much, a word, a look, can understand each other's thoughts.

We got together later, and before we had time to understand each other's growth and past, we were separated by yin and yang.

There was silence in the car.

When the vehicle arrived at the downstairs of Lin et al. Hospital, the man said, "Here we are."

Lin Shuicheng was about to get off the car, but when he turned around, he heard the man ask, "Student Lin, have you ever tried to believe in religion?"

He was slightly startled.

The man waved his hand and said, "Don't look at me that way. I'm not a missionary. I mean, in this state, it may be beneficial for you to find another belief. Don't look into it anymore. It's not good for you or me. Well, don't try to cross that line."

Lin Shuicheng said calmly: "...Thank you."

Fu Luoyin fell asleep in the No. [-] office for two hours, when Dong Shuoye called her up: "Let's go, pick up Xia Ran."

Fu Luoyin lay on the sofa: "You go, I won't go."

"What are you doing, we didn't agree yesterday?" Dong Shuoye pulled him up and pushed him away, grinning, "I don't see you today, but we will see you later. Aunt Xia contacted us when he came back this time." Home, he lives at our house, can you see him, and you won't see me in the future?"

Fu Luoyin was pushed to the parking lot by him, and he and Dong Shuoye were in a car.

It is already 07:30 in the morning.

Fu Luoyin looked at his phone, Lin Shuicheng didn't send him a text message.

Instead, it was Fu Kai who sent him a message: "Come here, the friend you talked about recently has something I want to tell you."

When he saw this message, he frowned: "What's wrong with the old man?"

He was very disgusted with Fu Kai's meddling in his relationship, which had started since high school—Fu Kai's text message meant that he had investigated his recent situation.

Although all his information is under the control of the Seventh Office, Fu Kai's practice still makes him very disgusted.

He didn't reply directly.

At this point, Lin Shuicheng should have woken up.

He called him, but Lin Shuicheng didn't answer.

Counting the time, he hasn't contacted Lin Shuicheng for a day and a night - text messages don't count.

Although there was only such a short time, Fu Luoyin somehow felt that the time was very long, and in addition to the accident at Xingda University yesterday, he was somewhat suspicious of Lin Shuicheng's safety.

When one call was missed, he made another.

The vehicle left the seven scientific research institutes and drove into the morning traffic. The fact that Lin Shuicheng didn't answer the phone made Fu Luoyin feel a little anxious.

——What did this man do?

When the seventh call was made, Fu Luoyin turned the steering wheel directly, turned a corner in the direction where she should go straight to the airport, and turned into another lane.

Dong Shuoye called him: "Negative two, you drove in the wrong direction! Go straight!"

"That's right. I'll go back and see Lin Shuicheng. He didn't call me back this morning after his school accident. I'm afraid something might happen to him." Fu Luoyin said calmly, "Excuse me for Xia Ran, since he I’m back, everyone will see each other one day, and then I’ll treat him to dinner and make amends. There are priorities, so I’ll go back first.”

He hung up the phone.

He called the housekeeping number and asked the other party to open the door to confirm that Lin Shuicheng was not at home, only a chief who was meowing from hunger.

He asked people to open the cans to feed the chief, and then marked Lin et al's hospital on the map, and drove there at a fast speed.

For some reason, he was worried that Lin Shuicheng would be left alone. Even though the staff of the Ninth Office had confirmed to him that Lin Shuicheng was safe, he had an intuition that he needed to go back in person.

He came to Lin et al's ward once, and Fu Luoyin hadn't changed out of the seven formal clothes on his body, so everyone looked sideways at him.

Family members were not allowed to accompany her in the intensive care unit, and Fu Luoyin saw Lin Shuicheng sleeping on the bench in the corridor at a glance.

The stool is short, and the backrest only reaches a little above the waist, so it must not be able to sleep well.Lin Shuicheng put his elbows on the armrest of the stool in a very awkward posture, and rested with his head down.

Fu Luoyin walked over lightly, and saw Lin Shuicheng put a religious storybook by his hand—the kind that was crudely made. The hospital put it next to the escort chair, and it was also a kind of humanistic care for the patient's family to pass the time.

Fu Luoyin sat down beside him - for some reason, the moment he saw Lin Shuicheng, the restlessness and uneasiness that had accumulated in his heart disappeared in an instant.

He stretched out his hand, took the book very, very lightly from his hand, and then supported the man's shoulder, letting him lean on his shoulder.

Lin Shuicheng didn't wake up.

Fu Luoyin gently called his name: "Lin Shuicheng."

Lin Shuicheng slept deeply and didn't respond, he just breathed gently and leaned against him.

Fu Luoyin then stopped talking.There was no one sitting beside him, so he could only lower his head to see what book Lin Shuicheng was reading.

He never thought that this little cat would be interested in such books.He turned the page, and the page that Lin Shuicheng stuck with his finger was a story, a chapter in the "Old Testament".

"Job's family was ruined because of being tempted by God. He didn't understand why God let so many disasters befall him. He questioned God and expressed his willingness to reason with God. God didn't answer Job's question, but interrogated him. , to show his divine power through the description of the mystery of nature.

"God said to Job: "The shock of the sea is like a womb; who will shut him up then?It is I who clothe the sea with clouds, and clothe it with darkness, and set boundaries for it, and install gates and bars, and tell it, 'You can only come here, not beyond. '"
