memory hole

Come on, the whole person looks a little awkward.

"Why are you here?" Deng Yi proactively asked Zhong Xian through the window of the Grand Cherokee.The expression is calm, and the eyes reveal just the right surprise.

This is what I want to ask you too - Zhong Xian said in his heart -

"Sir, I'm in this business. I'm supplying goods at this construction site. What about you? Why are you here so early? Could it be that you changed your career?" Zhong Xian smiled and looked Deng Yi up and down through the car window.

"I'm here to investigate. The guard lent me this hard hat and jacket. No access to the construction site without a hard hat."

Deng Yi explained in detail.While speaking, he took off the light gray jacket that was the same color as the sky, and held it in the same hand as the white helmet.Wearing only a white T-shirt, he seemed to have regained the familiar feeling of Zhong Xian.

But he forgot to take off the rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose.

And his expression seemed reserved and reserved.

There is also hesitation and distance between the brows.

His gaze was not as crisp as before, and he didn't even have long-term contact with Zhong Xian's eyes.

What are you here to investigate!Zhong Xian really wanted to ask that.But hold back.He just looked at Deng Yi with a smile.

"I'm leaving first." Deng Yi said, signaling to return the helmet to the guard room. "You are busy with your work."

"I'll give you a ride." Zhong Xian said. "I'm leaving too."

"No need. Me and... I can go with them." Deng Yi pointed to several cars not far away.

"I'll see you off. Anyway, I have nothing to do." Zhong Xian said enthusiastically, persisting several times. "Wherever you are going, I will deliver it on time, faster and better."

"Aren't you here to do business?"

"It's done."

Deng Yi hesitated, walked back to the gate of the construction site, and handed the helmet and jacket to a person standing there.He came back again and got into Zhong Xian's car.

"Are you myopic?" Zhong Xian stared at Deng Yi.

Deng Yi took off his glasses and stuck them on the neckline of his T-shirt. "It's radiation-resistant goggles. It changes color in the sun."

"Looks like a gentle scum. What's for rainy weather?"

"When I went out, I thought it would be sunny." Deng Yi answered seriously.

Zhong Xian started the car: "Where shall I take you? Back to the bureau? Which bureau are you from?"

"Just take me back to LH on the way. You should also go back to LH."

"You work in the LH branch, right?" Zhong Xian asked along the way.

"LG Bureau."

"Isn't that the LH precinct? I always thought you were."

"Did I say so?"

"No. You didn't say it, and you didn't show me the police officer/certificate. Now the police don't need to show the certificate when they handle the case?"

"Do you want to see it?" Deng Yi said, reaching into his trouser pocket with his right hand near the car door, and took out a black ID card with a striking silver stamped police badge on it.

Zhong Xian said with a smile: "Brother, why can't you even take a joke."

Hearing what Zhong Xian said, Deng Yi paused for a moment, then stuffed the certificate back into his pocket. "Didn't sleep well."

"LG branch, what a coincidence, I know someone."

Deng Yi touched the back of his head with his hand: "What goods did you supply to this construction site?"

"Uh... calcium silicate board and..." Zhong Xian omitted the keel. "And the lightweight partition wall. What about you? Are you here to compete with me for business? Come on! Dude, is your face frozen, why don't you keep smiling?"

"Of course I'm here to investigate the case," Deng Yi said.

"Which one?"

"It's still Xiao Zhu."

"Hasn't it been withdrawn? Didn't it mean that Xiao Zhu contacted his parents?" Zhong Xian asked.

Deng Yi glanced at Zhong Xian: "His parents in the countryside received a letter from him from Macau. The letter was written half a year ago and was delayed on the road. The letter said that he was working in Macau, and he had a quarrel with him to save money. Make phone calls at home, and rewrite letters in the future. Parents, please rest assured, what and what. "

"So I went to Macau." Zhong Xian was surprised. "Does anyone still write letters these days? Does the post office still have the function of sending letters? Doesn't it mean that even postcards can't be mailed out? His parents are lucky to receive letters after several months."

"It seems that the problem lies with the post office." Deng Yi said.

"So the case of Xiaozhu's disappearance ended so nonsensically? Then why did you go to this construction site early this morning to investigate?"

Deng Yi looked back at the direction of the construction site. From a distance, the sign on the new building was very obvious. "Conclude the case."

"Case conclusion at this construction site?"

"Xiao Zhu's last call was from here, calling you." Deng Yi said, seeing Zhong Xian's surprised gaze, he explained again, "He sent a WeChat message to locate his girlfriend at that time."

Zhong Xian thought for a while.Then he said, "You don't want to close the case. You think there are still doubts. You are a good and responsible policeman. Cough, can't you ask the Macau police to cooperate?"

"It's such a trivial matter. When an adult goes missing, the parents just want to know his whereabouts. It's not even a case," Deng Yi said.Said it was impossible.

"But you don't want to end it. You said it was a boring case. You should be happy now. Why waste your time."

"I didn't say stick to it."

"But you're so depressed."

"I'm depressed?"

"You can tell from a distance that you're unhappy."

"It's not because of the case that you are unhappy. If it is because of the case, there are cases every day, and you will never be happy."

"Then why?"

Deng Yi stopped talking.Stare out the window.

Zhong Xian felt infected by the bad mood of the person around him.The feeling of melancholy is like clouds in the sky covering the whole car.Zhong Xian suddenly remembered his dream.

"Can you play the guitar?" Zhong Xian asked.

"meeting."

"How is the playing?"

"Amuse yourself."

There was another long silence.Zhong Xian said. "That's the best way to end it. Put this case aside."

Deng Yi got off the car as soon as he entered the LH area. He asked Zhong Xian to turn the car into the side road and stop at the place where Hongli Road just passed Huaqiang North.

When he politely thanked Zhong Xian and was about to get off the car, a word 'something's wrong' popped out of Zhong Xian's mind.Something is wrong with this guy.Zhong Xian suddenly grabbed his arm.

Deng Yi turned around suspiciously.

"You promised me." Zhong Xian smiled.

"what?"

"If you have any doubts about me, you will speak out directly and give me a chance to explain."

Deng Yi lowered his eyelids. "I have no doubts. It's all over."

"But……"

"You're sensitive."

Looking at the back of Deng Yi leaving, Zhong Xian felt that the friendship they had quickly established between them seemed to have never existed at all.

Deng Yi is staying away on purpose.

Or that's what he was.It's just for the purpose to cooperate with Zhong Xian to make a close move.Bloom your most charming side.Not needing it now, he closed his door.

He is such a person...

When the bell is in a trance,

Dake called.

"That person came looking for me again. I think it's the number of the construction site, so I didn't dare to answer it." Dake said in panic.

"Which person?"

"The purchase at the construction site. The matter of the glass curtain wall."

"Why don't you accept it?"

"What do you say after picking it up? Didn't you say cold treatment for a few days?"

"Call back and listen to what he said. If he still urges you to solve it, just say that you are actively dealing with it. We will arrange the manufacturer's technicians to check on the construction site first. If it is indeed related to our support system, we will take responsibility. These words will say Let's hold on for time. Ask if the police are going to the construction site?"

"Why are the police going?" Dake became nervous.

"Didn't you say you hurt someone? Did you ask clearly to what extent?"

"At this stage, the injured must be the workers. As long as they don't die, the construction party should have suppressed it long ago. It's nothing more than taking the opportunity to ask us for money..." Dake's tone revealed the characteristics of Jiangsu and Zhejiang dialects, and his speech was extremely fast.

Zhong Xian was upset when he heard this: "Talk to them and control your emotions, don't be in such a hurry, show cowardly."

"I understand this. I don't need to pretend to be talking to you. But, what if? Zhong, if it's only our responsibility..."

"There is no such thing. There is no chance. The few contracts signed with them at the beginning were all stamped with the official seal of Li's head office. I signed it, and I have resigned."

"Uh, yes." Dake felt relieved, "You have already planned it. If something serious happens, we can't find it on our head, and you can teach Mr. Li a lesson. I admire you, but... these keel bones What's going on, how did you and the manufacturer set the production standards? Is there really a big problem with the quality?"

Zhong Xian thought for a while. "How about it... I'll contact the construction site, don't worry about it."

"Ah...Of course. But I said you are abroad."

"I have a solution. You go to do another thing. Didn't you say that you have a neighbor in the criminal investigation team of the LG branch? Go and inquire about Deng Yi."

"Ask about him? Why?"

"Ask from the side, don't be abrupt."

"Oh! I don't want to have anything to do with the police, and I'm only acquainted with that neighbor. Well, I'll do something. Give me two days."

The worker's injuries were not serious.

Despite the infinite exaggeration of the purchase, Zhong Xian confirmed three things during the 10-minute call.

1. Workers are only slightly injured.

2. The glass curtain wall supplier has arrived at the construction site immediately to negotiate.

3. There is no direct evidence that it has something to do with the external wall keel system they provide.

Not a big deal at all.The most exaggerated thing is Dake's nervous way of speaking.

as usual.This matter will be cleared up quickly.

It's not surprising.

Life goes on as usual.Depression is still there.

The most important thing is not knowing the root of the depression.

In fact, life now looks much better than it did a few years ago.No longer trapped by money, no longer passively bear.
