Two hours later, the door of Zhou Yongqing's office opened, and a gust of cold wind poured in from outside. The heels of the soldiers guarding the outside slammed loudly, scaring the chief guard of Yancheng Prison, who was under house arrest, so frightened that a strand of his hair fell out.

Gu Zhou led Mr. Sun and several subordinates into the office together. Zhou Yongqing noticed that there were a few snowflakes on the shoulders of Gu Zhou's windbreaker, and Mr. Sun brushed them off for him without showing any emotion.Zhou Yongqing hurriedly moved his body and stood up from the chair. He had been sitting in the office pampered for a long time, and his stomach had become limp after gaining weight in middle age, so his skills were naturally not as flexible as when he was young.

"Prisoner, what are you doing here?" Zhou Yongqing put on a hat to cover his shiny head due to hair loss, and when he approached Guzhou, he felt a chill rushing towards his face.

Gu Zhou took off the windbreaker and handed it to Elder Sun, asked someone to open the door of the small room, and said, "I will borrow your office for a meeting."

Zhou Yongqing took a step forward and was about to continue to ask, but Sun Lao suddenly reached out his hand to stop him, and politely asked him to step back, indicating to keep a safe distance from the warden.Zhou Yongqing was stunned for a moment, and could only take two steps back with a dry smile, and asked, "Director, what happened outside? I really didn't know that such a thing would happen over there, and besides, I dare not lie to you .”

Gu Zhou crossed his arms and walked into the meeting room in the side hall. Wine red velvet curtains covered the windows, lights were hung from the ceiling, large landscape paintings were hung on the walls on both sides, and the plaque in the center read "Yun Zhi Jue Zhong", Gu Zhou stared at There was silence for a while with these four words.

"Why are you rushing to defend yourself before I even said your fault?" Gu Zhou sat at the head, his subordinates took their seats in turn, and the documents brought over from the Chief Procuratorate were piled up on the table, "Sit down first, Let's talk about you later."

The plaque hanging on the wall behind was just above Gu Zhou's head, Zhou Yongqing looked at it and found it a bit subtle.He shook his head, opened the seat and sat down. A colleague next to him spread out a folder with a few photos pinned inside.

Elder Sun stood at the corner of the wall, and Gu Zhou turned his head to signal that he could go out and wait.The meeting started after the door was closed, and Gu Zhou asked someone to pass over the folder with the photos pinned on it, and took down a photo and projected it on the screen.

The photo was zoomed in, and everyone saw a blurry image. Behind the cascading trees, there was a jeep with a person sitting on the hood and a fire beside it.The surrounding area was covered with heavy snow, and it was hard to see clearly in the distance. It should be a frozen river.

The director of the Supervision Office walked to the curtain and began to explain. Gu Zhou stepped back a little, folded his legs and frowned to listen to him.The director analyzed the satellite cloud images and data, and preliminarily determined that this photo was taken in Xialing Bay of Longhe Town, where the tributary of Heilongjiang turns a corner, forming a natural bay area and forest area. Judging by the time, Tang Ji at this time Should rest here.

"Who is that person next to the fire?" Gu Zhou raised his finger and pointed at the screen, zooming in on the fire, and a small back figure faintly appeared in the golden flames, "Why is he with Tang Ji?"

The director put down the indicator in his hand: "The identity is not yet clear, maybe it is a fisherman who happened to live there, Tang Ji just ran into him."

"It's a primeval forest. There are no farms in a radius of tens of miles. It's also a time when the river is frozen. Fishing on the Heilongjiang River is when the river is open. At that time, the fish are the most and the cleanest. How can there be unlucky ghosts fishing at this time?"

"Director, look at that person's posture." Someone below suddenly raised his hand and said, "He seems to be reaching out to Tang Ji, he may be someone he knows."

That small shadow was indeed raising one hand, and Tang Ji on the other side seemed to be looking at him, and the two seemed to be communicating.Gu Zhou pursed his lips tightly, and there was a buzzing discussion on the conference table. He frowned and thought, staring at the photo in silence.

Putting aside the matter of the photos, the meeting had to continue. Gu Zhou discussed the incident with everyone, and even spoke with the arrest team, but what really made the temperature drop to freezing point was that they saw Zhao Pei in the video call.

Zhou Yongqing was the first to recognize Zhao Pei. He stood up from his seat and made a loud noise. Gu Zhou glared at him before sitting down.When Zhao Pei's face appeared on the screen, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, with a layer of cold sweat on their backs.

Three hours later, Guzhou ended the meeting, and it was already dusk. Although the earth is eternal night and cannot see the passage of time, Guzhou still heard the terrible ticking sound of the clock on the wall.

Before Gu Zhou left, he called the director of the Supervision Office, handed him the photo, and told him to check the identity of the person next to the fire, maybe he could track down where Tang Ji is now.The director showed embarrassment, but Gu Zhou insisted again and again, and finally took it with a sigh, and left the prison gate with his briefcase very unwillingly - because he had to postpone his vacation time because of this.

The driver came to pick up Guzhou in a Maserati. Guzhou was about to get in the car when he stopped suddenly. He walked into the snow alone with an umbrella and asked the driver to follow his footsteps.

There are hillsides on both sides of the prison. At this time, all the leaves on the mountain have fallen, leaving only bare branches, except for a few pine trees that are evergreen all the year round.Gu Zhou stopped not far from the prison gate, raised his hand to signal the driver to stop, then stood in front of the car and looked at the prison.

The driver was puzzled, and Gu Zhou stood quietly for a while, like a statue, looking forward from a long distance, with light snow falling around him.

The location of Guzhou Station was where the jeep was parked, but the ruts had already been buried by snow.He pondered intently, hoping to get some information from here, such as the special meaning of this place.

After thinking for a while, he turned his head and looked at the straight road behind him. This road turned at the foot of the hill, and after going downhill, it led to the road outside. The warning sign of Yancheng Prison was erected outside the railing on the side of the road.

Gu Zhou finally got into the car. The driver turned his head to look at Gu Zhou's face, and without saying a word, he started the car slowly and drove along the road, leaving deep ruts on the snow.When turning around the foot of the mountain, Gu Zhou looked up and saw a row of monitors on the crossbar of the opposite road.

He found something was wrong again. During the meeting in the afternoon, he called up the monitoring, and the highway monitoring was also obtained from the Highway Administration Bureau. In all the images, except that a car was actually photographed in front of the prison gate, there was no such thing in the rest of the monitoring. The shadow of the car.

Like a ghost ship on the sea, it suddenly appears and then disappears suddenly.Gu Zhou asked the driver to slow down, and lowered the window to check the terrain outside. There was a protruding part of the mountain, which made this detour especially winding.

Comparing the position of the monitor, Gu Zhou quickly discovered that the monitor had a blind spot, just behind the protruding boulder.There is an inscription of the Ming Dynasty on this boulder. When the road was opened, the government refused to dig it away, so it was left here to make a small cultural scene.

Although it was a bit far-fetched, there was indeed a car that could be hidden behind that rock.

If this is indeed the case, then the person who sent this car to the prison must know the entire Yancheng Prison, including the route, monitoring, and terrain outside the prison.Gu Zhou couldn't figure out what was going on, all kinds of weird things were entangled together, making a pile of twine, his intuition told him that what his eyes saw was not necessarily true, but he couldn't tell which was real and which was fake .

Maserati was speeding through the snow, driving from the barren suburbs to the city. In the distance, the bright lights of Xicheng illuminated half of the sky.Guzhou tilted his head to look at the fallen grass and reeds outside the window, as well as the dilapidated thatched huts with their skeletons. He heard the ticking of his watch.

When he got home, Sandie had just brought the steamed eggs to the dinner table. He returned from giving a speech in another city the day before yesterday, put down his luggage, and learned how to make steamed eggs according to the cookbook.Gu Zhou shook off the snow from his clothes, looked at the clock in the living room, and poured himself a cup of hot water.

"You look so bad, is it because there are too many things in the company?" Sanji took off his apron and sat down at the dining table, opening a bottle of French red wine.

Gu Zhou propped up his elbows to stir the rice on the plate, looked at the three stacks and gave him the ham, and said, "It's something, I've been dealing with it all day today, if only we had a profiling expert."

The three stacks of wine glasses rested on the lips, and the long hair was tied behind the head: "Huh? Why do you need to use profiling experts? Isn't that only used in criminal investigations?"

Guzhou realized that he had slipped his mouth, and said in a hurry, "The company was stolen and important documents were lost. I don't want to alert the police for now, otherwise the news will have a bad impact if it gets out."

Sandie nodded, Guzhou raised his eyes to see his expression, he didn't want to continue this topic, so he put on a relaxed demeanor and asked him about his experience in other places.Sandie quickly skipped the matter of Guzhou, and they happily chatted about interesting things from all over the world under the light.

When Fu Zhong entered the cabin in the electronic male voice, Ji Yao was sitting on a metal chair reading a book by the light. He folded his legs and still wore thin-rimmed glasses. Fu Zhong knew what book he was reading, from the thickness of the pages You can guess it.

"Why is the chief still reading this book?" Fu Zhong lifted up his clothes and sat down beside him, his eyes fell on the illustrations in the book, "Slavic myths? I think you have read it several times."

"Travel is boring, just treat it as a pastime." Ji Yao looked up at the electronic clock on the wall, and the seconds were changing, "Reading this book is also quite interesting, and it is more interesting than reading textbooks. Isn't it? You study architecture books , I couldn’t turn the pages after reading a few pages.”

Fu Zhong smiled and asked: "You are from the School of Humanities, why do you read our textbooks?"

Ji Yao closed the book of mythology and put it on his lap, leaning back in his chair to think about it. After a while, he smiled and said: "At that time, I heard that you were studying architecture, so I paid special attention to it. When passing by the building of your college, you always have to pay attention to it." Go in and look around. I was back in Russian class, and there was a student from your academy sitting next to me, and I happened to see his book, which is really boring to me, and I can’t read it.”

"No wonder sometimes when I go downstairs from the classroom, I see you looking at the photos on the wall in the hall, and leave when you see someone coming down." Fu Zhong said, "It's not once or twice, every time you pretend nothing happened Look, quietly avoid me."

Ji Yao's ears turned red from laughing, it has been three or four years since what Fu Zhong said, but it is still vivid in his mind, as if it happened yesterday.He still remembered the students who came down the stairs, and Fu Zhong was among those students. He glanced at him quickly, pretended to pass by, and fled with his bag on his back.

At that time, Ji Yao wanted to take a closer look, he knew that this junior was tall and handsome, a girl's dream lover.A heartthrob, a flower, Ji Yao has heard of all these titles.Ji Yao is very happy that she is the only one who is obsessed with herself despite being a heartthrob.

Fu Zhong took the mythology book from Ji Yao's hand to read it, flipped through a few pages and said, "Why did the chief hide when he saw me? You can stay a little longer, and I can walk slowly until everyone is gone. That way It's just the two of us."

"At that time, I was afraid. It was that kind of complicated mood. I wanted to see you, but I didn't dare to see more. We are just a very ordinary alumni relationship. I'm fine. What are you doing? Is there something wrong?"

"No, I always look at you, but only secretly. When you noticed me, I was nervous and didn't dare to move." Fu Zhong raised the book to cover his lips, and read from his eyebrows. You could tell he was smiling now.

Ji Yao slapped him: "Nervous sister, you are thicker than anyone else, who is that person who follows me to the cafeteria every day? Who is the person who goes to the study room to peek at me at noon every day?"

Fu Zhong smiled and didn't speak, his thoughts had already drifted to the sky, those days when he was studying, those secret joys, those little thoughts, all became more and more intense in the grinding of time and space.

After chatting for dozens of sentences, Fu Zhong flipped through the book and turned to the story of Bel Scott. The man-machine made a broadcast sound, followed by the sound of the hatch closing.Look at the clock, the time is up, they are about to leave the space station and enter the void.

Ji Yao folded his coat and put it in the cabinet, and also locked a thin book of mythology.Fu Zhong stood beside the dormant cabin with his pockets in his pocket, listening to the electronic sound echoing around, suddenly turned his head and said in Ji Yao's ear: "I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you..."

"What are you doing? Are you crazy?" Ji Yao raised his hand to touch Fu Zhong's forehead, "Why did you say this suddenly? What if Wei Shanhua comes in?"

Fu Zhong glanced at the human-machine, confident: "When he came in, I said that the human-machine was too noisy, and I had to get closer to talk. Baby, have you forgotten? I will tell you 9999 times that I love you."

Ji Yao choked, but he didn't forget about it. Before he could say a word, Fu Zhong pressed against his hot ear and said, "I've said it 29 times so far, so there are 9970 times left. I'm going to save my words, once a day, I can talk for 9970 days, which is 27 years and 115 days."

"How can you be so good at counting? You still remember how many times you said it. Who cares what you say!" Ji Yao was so ashamed and ashamed by him. Blushing and hitting him on the back of the hand.

At this time, Shanhua's burly figure came in from the outside, saw the two people standing in the cabin, hesitated to speak, then turned around to do other things: "Oh, it seems that I have become a redundant person."

"Where did your dog go? Come in at this time, I'm alone, I'm not going to fish you up!" Ji Yao blamed Shanhua half-angrily, his voice was visibly trembling, trying to cover up.

Shanhua knows that he is a paper tiger because he is fierce and soft-hearted.Hippie smiled and raised his hand to admit his mistake, walked to Fu Zhong and bumped into him: "You made your chief blushed with anger, why don't you go and coax him? He will listen to you, we people can't talk to him .”

"Coax you, Master Santu." Before whispering, Shanhua was kicked firmly on the buttocks, Ji Yao pulled Fu Zhong behind him, and warned, "Take three steps back now and go to your dormant cabin, Turn on the cryogenic system and have a good dream.”

Shanhua giggled and lay down lazily in it, saying: "A dream without a lover is not a good dream."
