Thorns

Gu Mengping saw the other party's momentary loss of focus, it was an extremely complicated expression, squinting his eyes, the other party's eyes fell on him.

"What's the exchange?" Si Qingyang said, his voice still a little hoarse, probably because he didn't speak often, and the moment he met Gu Mengping's gaze, he added, "What do you need me to do?"

Gu Mengping withdrew his hand, and suddenly leaned on the sofa. His eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses were cold, but at the moment of blinking, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. The previous cold expression was completely different, and the smile was as warm as spring in March.

"What you have to do is to ensure that I live to see every tomorrow's sun." The corners of the lips are still raised, but the words that are spoken are not warm at all. His smile seemed a little colder now.

Si Qingyang was slightly taken aback, he looked at the other party, and the moment his eyes met, Gu Mengping took the lead to look away, the corners of his raised lips did not fall completely, and the side face bathed in the sun fell into Si Qingyang's eyes, Quiet and peaceful.

"This is not an easy job, but you have no room to refuse." This time, his tone was much more relaxed.

After Gu Mengping finished speaking, he stood up slowly without waiting for the other party to speak, got up and went to the kitchen to pour himself a cup of coffee, and followed him until he walked into the kitchen door.

When Gu Mengping walked out of the kitchen door again, the person who was standing in the middle of the living room had already sat on the sofa, holding the ID card in his hand and looking at it seriously.

"I still have something to take care of. I'll give you half an hour to familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment." After speaking flatly, he walked into the study with the cup of coffee. The door was not closed, and he knew that the person would not lean over to look.

half an hour?

Picking up the ID card and putting it in the purse near the chest inside the suit jacket, Si Qingyang stood up and opened the door of the apartment. Half an hour was enough for him. The management of this apartment is very strict. , the underground parking lot needs to swipe the card to enter. There are security personnel on duty at the entrance on the first floor. There is no suitable sniper spot in the place, and although the surrounding area is prosperous, it is not complicated. Si Qingyang's brain is quickly entering this information.

In the study, Gu Mengping finished typing the last sentence of the email, and when he clicked send, he glanced at the time in the lower corner of the computer. Four or ten minutes had passed, and he wondered what happened to that dull man.Taking off his glasses, rubbing his sore eyes, he stood up, and as soon as he walked out of the study door with the cup in hand, he saw Si Qingyang sitting on the sofa.

Seeing him coming out, Si Qingyang just raised his eyelids, and then continued to focus on the mobile phone in his hand. Gu Mengping was right, the mobile phone was his own.

It seems that Si Qingyang should have already unlocked it. This is not a difficult task. He was not angry because of privacy violations. Instead, he was curious. He leaned over and saw that Si Qingyang was opening the map software. With a flick of a finger, the screen moved four or five meters forward.

Gu Mengping was speechless for a moment, not knowing whether he was being lazy or opportunistic.

"Is this how you are familiar with the environment?" He asked.

Si Qingyang looked up at him, and Gu Mengping's expression of gnashing his teeth fell into his eyes. He was a little surprised, a little angry in annoyance?For some reason, he felt inexplicably in a good mood, but there was no change on his face.

"I've already covered a five-mile radius by myself. No, I still need the sewer pipes." He replied solemnly.

Gu Mengping was choked by his words, and suddenly forgot the following, because he didn't wear glasses, so every change in his expression fell into Si Qingyang's eyes clearly, in fact, when he walked out just now, Si Qingyang had already noticed that Yes, his eyes are very beautiful, his dark brown pupils are light golden in the sunlight, and his eyelashes are very long, trembling slightly with his movements.

With a long sigh, Gu Mengping took the mobile phone from his hand, left the map page, he looked at the message records, there were a lot of text messages, and Si Qingyang didn't check it, which made him feel a little delicate, he was still a person who understood the rules .

After glancing at the long list of missed calls, Gu Mengping went to the window and dialed the number, and the other party answered quickly.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

Si Qingyang was far away, but his hearing was good, and he heard something vaguely. He was suddenly curious about Gu Mengping's identity. He knew that his name was Gu Mengping, and it was written on the registration form in the security room, but he found nothing about other information.

"I see, I'll come right away." After hanging up the phone, Gu Mengping turned to look at Si Qingyang, who was already standing by the door.

He raised his eyebrows, feeling a little interesting.

The elevator went straight down to the first floor, and the parking lot was dimly lit. When he walked to a royal blue Porsche, Gu Mengping opened the door and got into the driver's seat.

Si Qingyang hesitated for a moment, and sat in the co-pilot's seat.

Gu Mengping could tell that he liked the Hummer parked opposite him more. Compared to the slender Porsche, did he prefer that kind of...?

"Don't look, the front of the car was damaged by you. Someone will drive to repair it in the afternoon." Pulling off the seat belt and fastening it, Gu Mengping started the car. After a smooth turn, the car drove out of the parking space and headed towards the exit .

suburbs.

There were several police cars parked beside some remote roads, the yellow cordons were a little eye-catching, and Si Qingyang could already see them from a distance away.

The moment the sapphire blue car stopped, many people cast their gazes over. Mu Zhiyuan looked at the people who got off the car, and finally there was some smile on his serious face.

"Let me introduce, this is my assistant Si Qingyang." Raising his right hand, Gu Mengping pointed to the person approaching.

Mu Zhiyuan's eyes fell on Si Qingyang. He didn't notice this person just now, but when his eyes fell on this person, he instantly felt a sense of danger, and those eyes would feel oppressed after a few more glances. , a feeling of suffocation as if being strangled by the neck, this is a man full of murderous aura, but in just a split second, the person who was kicked by Gu Mengping immediately suppressed the breath of the whole body, and the depressive feeling was like a tidal wave Usually recedes instantly.

He is tall and dressed in a black suit, his whole person is cold, but quite plain, he looks a bit like a professional bodyguard.

"Hello." Under Gu Mengping's gaze, Si Qingyang stretched out his hand reluctantly, and said a few words.

"Hello, I'm the leader of the special investigation team, Mu Zhiyuan." He clasped his hands together, a little rusty, and quickly released them.

Seeing the harmony between the two of them, Gu Mengping was quite satisfied with the expression on his face. Si Qingyang's condition was better than he imagined. He thought that Si Qingyang should take some time to get out of the isolated prison just now. To restore the state of getting along with people, now it seems that the beginning is not bad.

"What's going on?" Gu Mengping said while throwing a pair of gloves to Si Qingyang.

"You'll find out when you go and have a look." Lifting the cordon, Mu Zhiyuan led the two of them across the ditch and walked towards the grove.

Si Qingyang could smell something from a distance away, and Si Qingyang's face was not very good-looking.

"Be patient, just get used to it." Gu Mengping's voice sounded beside him, and Si Qingyang glanced at him with a strange expression on his face. He was caught by the other party just by a subtle expression change?

In the woods 30 meters away from the path, a touch of pure white on the withered yellow leaves looked a little dazzling, and a ten-meter-long bloody trace could not be ignored. The autumn wind rustled the leaves, and several forensic doctors around were taking pictures to collect evidence. Officers are conducting trace forensics around.

Gu Mengping got closer, and the moment he lifted the white cloth, the scene below was unobstructed, and the cover was lost, and the already suffocating smell became stronger and disgusting.

This is a decomposed male corpse. Some corpses around the waist are wriggling together, some crawl out from the hem of the clothes, and some crawl out from the collar and crawl on the neck. The bloody smell is a bit strong, but the most lethal People think that the numbness of the scalp is the limbs of the deceased, no, to be precise, this corpse has no limbs at all, the hands and feet have been cut off, and the wound has rotted, but the cut surface of the bone can be seen, which is directly beheaded. It was broken, and with one cut, the cross-section was very neat, and the blood stains under the limbs had long since dried up, turning into a deep black.

"Have you had any experience before?" Mu Zhiyuan asked.

Si Qingyang didn't take his eyes off the corpse, he knew that the other party was asking him, and he calmly replied: "No."

"It's the first time he came to the scene to be so calm, it seems that he has chosen a great person." The words seemed to be a joke, but also a test.

Si Qingyang didn't intend to answer, his eyes fell on Gu Mengping's body, he pushed the corpse insect away with his gloved hand, he stretched out his hand to probe, Si Qingyang frowned deeply, he knew that this person had a bit of cleanliness, It's not serious, but... I didn't expect him to act like this.

When he retracted his hand, a black mobile phone was taken out from the purse of the deceased. Gu Mengping stood up and threw it to Si Qingyang when Si Qingyang didn't recover.

Si Qingyang shot instantly and caught it firmly, and then heard Gu Mengping's voice. "One minute, untie it."

He did not refute the ten-digit password, and began to stand aside to decode it earnestly.

"Have you found the stump?" Gu Mengping asked.

"Not really." Shaking his head, Mu Zhiyuan said. "It was preliminarily determined that the death was caused by excessive blood loss."

When Gu Mengping was about to ask the next sentence, an enlarged mobile phone screen appeared in front of him. The lit screen was just a punch away from the tip of his nose. The moment it opened, Si Qingyang's indifferent voice came over: "It's unlocked."
