The glass of wine last night never disappeared

Shen Xingchen explained while drawing on the whiteboard. Since he entered the orphanage at the age of 6, he asked Jin Xi to cooperate with him in recalling the timeline little by little.Facts have proved that after he entered the orphanage, until the day he entered high school, nothing happened, except that Shen Xingchen was a bit eye-catching, and he attracted several hooligans to block the way.

"We don't know what happened before," Shen Xingchen stood in front of the whiteboard, holding a pen in his hand, like a handsome college teacher, "It seems that the first time they attacked me was on my first day of high school! "

"Does this mean...they didn't find out your whereabouts in those seven or eight years?" Chu Qingyang held a cigarette between his fingers. During the days of serving pregnant women, he was forced to almost passively Quit smoking.

"It's possible..." Shen Xingchen thought for a while, "It means that Aunt Zhou protected me very well. Then why did they find out my whereabouts later?"

If Lin Yuan was here at this time, one sentence would definitely provide them with key clues, but Shen Xingchen didn't think of that casual person at all.

"You mean... it was your first day in high school?" Chu Qingyang said thoughtfully, "Did anything special happen to you that day?"

"Meeting you...does it matter?" Shen Xingchen raised an eyebrow and looked at Chu Qingyang, "I can't...you are the ghost, right?"

"If I'm an insider, you won't even be able to wait until school is over!" Chu Qingyang rolled his eyes very naturally.

"Then, I left the orphanage and lived here." Shen Xingchen recalled, "The second time...it should be the pier explosion, if this counts—"

Before Shen Xingchen finished speaking, Jin Xi interrupted: "It's been there since you went to college, until before the explosion, probably..." Jin Xi recalled, "More than 100 times."

"what?"

"Fuck!"

Shen Xingchen and Chu Qingyang called out at the same time, which was in stark contrast to Jin Xi's calmness.

"Why don't I know?" Shen Xingchen's eyes widened in surprise.

"I solved it, those little guys, it's easy." Jin Xi was so calm, as if these things were as natural as eating and going to the toilet.

"Wait..." Chu Qingyang frowned, "How did you solve it? Dr. Jin, let me remind you, you will be punished for breaking the law!"

"I just made them dizzy, just like when I was a child," Jin Xi explained to Shen Xingchen, "As for whether they are alive or not, it's none of my business."

"Then...the explosion?" Shen Xingchen said blankly, "It doesn't look like their style anymore."

"Maybe it's because they haven't been able to deal with you for more than ten years, and they are anxious?" Chu Qingyang pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.

"A Yuan suspects... there are ghosts in my team..." Shen Xingchen said, but he didn't believe it himself.

"Very likely!" Chu Qingyang nodded and said, "If so, who do you suspect?"

"He...has no doubts."

"That stuffy gourd?" Chu Qingyang didn't seem to believe it either.

"After you woke up, did the team know?" Jin Xi suddenly thought of something.

"Well, they also came to see me."

"Lin Yuan... was sent to kill you at that time..." Jin Xi wanted to remind Shen Xingchen that the enemy would know when he woke up.

"Yes, only a few of us know that you are awake. Lin Yuan is right to suspect that there are... ghosts in your team!" Chu Qingyang was also recalling in detail.

"I have been to the bureau, and it may be other people in the bureau." Shen Xingchen didn't want to doubt his teammates who had been with him for several years.

"It seems...they have penetrated very deeply..." Chu Qingyang said with emotion, "For you, they have indeed spent a lot of effort. You boy...is it so valuable?!"

"Get out!" Looking at Chu Qingyang looking him up and down, he cursed, "I...will try to try one by one, but I've already resigned, and the ghosts in the bureau won't be of much use to them anymore, not necessarily I can still find it."

"Since you've already resigned, there's not much point in trying. Forget it, don't take any more risks." Jin Xi looked at Shen Xingchen with concern and said.

"Okay!" Shen Xingchen nodded.

Chu Qingyang looked at Shen Xingchen, then at Jin Xi, and immediately showed an indescribable expression... Suddenly the phone rang, and Chu Qingyang saw that it was Liang Yichuan calling...

"Sorry, my wife's phone call..." Chu Qingyang smiled obsequiously, and walked aside to answer the phone.

Shen Xingchen sat beside Jin Xi, took the water that Jin Xi handed over, and smiled at him.

In just a few minutes, Chu Qingyang hung up the phone and sat back: "Yichuan has been interrogated, and it is TAS, the international drug trafficking group in the Golden Triangle that Interpol has been following. The boss is surnamed Wu, 60 years old, Chinese. This The group...it’s amazing, its sales circle the earth more than three hundred times. Drug trafficking is its main business, and it also has a group of killers who take money to work for them. It is said that they want to kill you because you have a powerful A new type of drug, scattered in the wind and absorbed—”

Suddenly, Chu Qingyang's words were interrupted by Shen Xingchen, "Is this a drug... or a biochemical weapon?"

"Don't interrupt me," Chu Qingyang said excitedly, but was suddenly interrupted, very dissatisfied, "This kind of drug is almost like a biochemical weapon. It is said that it was brought back by a mysterious person more than 20 years ago, but only With a little sample, I don’t know anything about the production process and method, and I don’t even have a molecular formula—”

"Just kidding, how could I have this kind of thing, what are you talking about?!" Shen Xingchen couldn't help interrupting him again.

"You eat too much chicken chin?!" Chu Qingyang yelled, "Can you listen to me before interrupting? What about your self-cultivation? Does it mean that you have completely exposed your hooligan nature without women?!"

"Are you still talking?! Shen Xingchen glared at him.

"Who knows where that old bastard found out that you have those things," Chu Qingyang continued, "It's impossible for me to know too many details, I just know that the boss has been trying all these years to get that thing It was done, but it all failed, maybe something happened, so I came here in person, trying to solve you as soon as possible."

Chu Qingyang took a sip of water and continued: "Damn it, you can come up with such an awesome thing more than 20 years ago, and no one can copy it and no one can surpass it for so many years. What kind of academic master can do it?" This kind of bull?"

"My mother!" Taking a look at Chu Qingyang's adoring expression, Shen Xingchen frowned and said something solemnly.

"Ah?" Chu Qingyang opened his mouth in surprise.

"I've met the one surnamed Wu, and he told me face to face." Shen Xingchen lowered his head, looking as if he was thinking about something, "He asked me for the key, saying that my mother left it for me. Aunt Zhou told me As I said, she used to be in the same team as my parents. Later, my mother was transferred to a secret chemical research institute because of her outstanding scientific research ability. Now that I think about it, she should have synthesized this thing accidentally, and it turned out to be Someone stole it to that surnamed Wu."

Shen Xingchen paused for a moment, and finally understood the matter: "This should be the reason why TAS has been chasing our house."

"Since it is in a scientific research institute with a confidential nature, how could it be stolen casually?" Chu Qingyang asked suspiciously.

"His... surname is Wu?" Shen Xingchen suddenly thought of something, "I think... I know why."

"What why?" Chu Qingyang's face was full of question marks, but he was used to not being able to keep up with Shen Xingchen's thinking.

"Why did I stay in the compound for seven or eight years and was fine, but I was attacked on the first day of high school." Shen Xingchen wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Jin Xi who sat silently for a long time— - "Surname Wu... Mama Wu?"

Jin Xi suddenly thought of this woman. She was Lin Jing's first assistant. She had just found him during the summer vacation before Shen Xingchen's high school started. Her...also surnamed Wu.

That's what Shen Xingchen thought: "Looking at it now, they adopted A Yuan... also for a purpose. This shameless person even said that he regarded A Yuan as his own son!"

"Wait... Who is this Mama Wu?" Chu Qingyang felt more and more that these two people were tricky.

"She was my mother's assistant and took care of me since I was a child. Not long after she found me, I was shot." The more Shen Xingchen thought about it, the more he felt that this person was a key person.

"Then if we find her, will we be able to find out a lot of things?" Chu Qingyang asked tentatively.

"But...where can I find it?" Shen Xingchen racked his brains to think... "By the way, she found me in the orphanage. She knew Aunt Zhou. Would there be her with Aunt Zhou? clue?"

Shen Xingchen looked at Jin Xi, hesitating whether to go back to the orphanage.He hadn't seen Zhou Ting since he ran away in anger last time.In the first few years, he complained about Zhou Ting, but later, he gradually forgot about it.But when he forced Lin Yuan to leave, he suddenly thought, was it the same for Zhou Ting back then, for her own safety, she forced herself to leave with tears in her eyes?He should have understood at the time. Zhou Ting had spoiled him since he was a child. Now that Zhou Ting is quite old, he...should go back and see her!After all, he also said that he would always be with her.Thinking about it now, Shen Xingchen felt that he was the empty promise, saying everywhere that he wanted to accompany others, but none of them cashed in.Until now, he has not been by anyone's side...

"We... go to the orphanage!" Jin Xi made a quick decision, he knew what Shen Xingchen was thinking.

The three of them left as soon as they said they would, getting on the jeep and heading to the orphanage.An hour later, they got off the car at the gate of this orphanage on the outskirts of the city.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Shen Xingchen suddenly felt a sense of homelessness. He stopped, stood at the gate in a daze, stared blankly at the sign on the gate, not knowing what was going on in his heart.Lao Li is no longer the guard, maybe he was picked up by his children when he was old.Today is a working day, the door is open and you can directly see the big yard inside, it is empty, maybe the children have gone to school.Shen Xingchen used to like sitting in the yard basking in the sun, half lying on the bench, letting the sun shine all over his body. After Lin Yuan came, he sat on the side, resting his chin, smiling at him with crooked eyes.Those years were really the happiest.But now, why do you feel a little depressed and desolate?

After hesitating for a while, Shen Xingchen led the two of them in.

"Aunt Zhou?" Shen Xingchen called while walking inside.After walking a few steps, he suddenly noticed something was wrong—the smell of blood?

Shen Xingchen's nose may have followed his son's, and he is particularly sensitive to smells. At the beginning of the year, he smelled blood and saved Lin Yuan. Therefore, he was very sure that something was wrong with this yard...

"It smells like blood, look for it separately, hurry up!" Shen Xingchen yelled, and ran towards Zhou Ting's room, Jin Xi followed closely behind him.Chu Qingyang looked for it on the other side.

Zhou Ting's room was empty, Shen Xingchen was a little anxious, rushed out of the room and was about to run upstairs, when he suddenly heard Chu Qingyang's cry...

"Fourteen! Here!" Chu Qingyang saw an old lady lying in a pool of blood in a single room on the far east, and guessed that this was the Zhou Ting Shen Xingchen was looking for.Zhou Ting was still conscious. It looked like she had just been shot. It was estimated that the murderer hadn't run far, so Chu Qingyang subconsciously called 120 and looked around.

When Shen Xingchen heard the sound and found Chu Qingyang, he found that this was his previous room, and seeing Zhou Ting lying on the ground, he couldn't hold back his tears.When he was most helpless for the first time, it was Zhou Ting who gave him all the love and gave him a carefree life...

"Aunt Zhou!" Shen Xingchen yelled and rushed over, knelt beside Zhou Ting, lifted her upper body off the ground, and let her head rest on his arm.

"I called an ambulance, and it will be here in a while." Seeing Shen Xingchen like this, Chu Qingyang could not bear to comfort him, he knew that this woman must be very important to Shen Xingchen.

"Aunt Zhou...what's the matter...who...support..." Shen Xingchen choked up, his voice was trembling, and he was almost incoherent.

"Fourteen..." Zhou Ting still had some consciousness and was very weak. When she saw Shen Xingchen, her eyes showed joy, but then they darkened again, "Yes...I'm sorry, I didn't want to..."

"I know, you know that the orphanage is not safe, and you forced me to leave for my own good...I...how could I blame you?" Shen Xingchen held back tears, looked at Zhou Ting's graying hair, and the corners of her eyes were swollen. It's full of wrinkles, he thinks, he's such a jerk. "It's my fault, I... I should have come to see you a long time ago!"

"No...it's not this..." Zhou Ting touched Shen Xingchen's face, and then told him what she told the group of men in black about Shen Yu's whereabouts, "I...I'm sorry for your parents...I was the one who killed you. killed them. I... I want to save them."

After hearing this, Shen Xingchen froze in place... The man in black?

"No... Aunt Zhou, it's none of your business," Shen Xingchen could only comfort Zhou Ting, "It's Mama Wu, she came to see me last time, do you remember?"

"Lin Jing's assistant?"

"Yes, did she come again later? Do you know how to find her?"

Zhou Ting shook her head weakly, and slowly closed her eyes...

"Aunt Zhou!" Shen Xingchen shook Zhou Ting gently, and shouted in a crying voice, "The ambulance is coming, don't sleep! Open your eyes and look at me! Don't sleep!"

Fortunately, the ambulance arrived in time. The doctor carried Zhou Ting into the ambulance and started giving first aid. He rushed to the hospital and went directly to the emergency room.

Two hours later, the operating lights went out, and the doctor came out and told Shen Xingchen the good news - his life was out of danger.Shen Xingchen had been sitting blankly on the chair at the door of the operating room, staring blankly at the light on the door of the operating room.Jin Xi looked at him and silently held him in his arms.Knowing that Zhou Ting was fine, both of them jumped up.Shen Xingchen lowered his head, and asked Jin Xi softly: "Brother Xi, did she have an accident because I went looking for her?"

"It has nothing to do with you, it's because TAS is too arrogant." Jin Xi stroked his arm and said softly.

Chu Qingyang came over, saw this scene, couldn't help but want to cover his eyes, hesitated for a while, walked to Shen Xingchen's side, patted him comfortingly, and said softly: "Yichuan has led people to do things, I hope We can find some clues. Don't worry, she...is fine."

"I've told the nurses I'm familiar with here, they will take good care of Aunt Zhou, don't worry." Jin Xi saw Shen Xingchen get up and walk to the ward, and said softly behind him.

Shen Xingchen stood outside the ward and looked in through the glass. He understood that when he left the orphanage...it was right.At this moment, he felt that his decision to stand up and solve this matter... was also right.

So, he took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message - "Where is it?"

Immediately there was a reply - "Camp."

"Is it safe to speak?"

"Ah."

"Help me find someone, surnamed Wu, female, involved in drugs."

The other party immediately replied with an ok gesture.

"be careful!"

……

Shen Xingchen knew that Lin Yuan was already in the middle of it now, instead of wasting this route and letting Lin Yuan stumble around to investigate, it would be better...

Putting the phone back into his coat pocket, Shen Xingchen told Chu Qingyang, and called Jin Xi to go home together.
