"?? Ah?" Xiao Zhiyu was stunned for a few seconds, "Your detachment's criminal investigation technology can't find it, you count on me? Your team's...that Wen or something... isn't she very good? She can't find it either. ?”

"It's useless." Ji Liao said, "There should be some research on criminal investigation technology over there, and there are many ways to bypass the surveillance. The last time Luo Qingsen answered the phone call before he fell from the building, he couldn't find out. I guess it depends on you. It should be investigated by means of 'not normal'."

"Okay, you still believe me..." Xiao Zhiyu didn't have time to refute that it wasn't 'not normal', and sighed, "I'll let someone try it, don't hold out too much hope."

He took out his mobile phone and edited and sent out the information provided by Ji Liao, as if thinking of something: "You know it well?"

"Yes." Ji Liao paused for a few seconds, then sent Xiao Zhiyu an IP address, "You just need to check to see if you are nearby."

Xiao Zhiyu said "OK", and displayed the sent coordinates on the map, suddenly thought of something, was stunned for a while, and moved his eyes to Ji Liao calmly.

Ji Liao didn't look up at his phone for a while.

Xiao Zhiyu closed his mouth wisely, and the two of them did not speak for a long time, thinking about something in their minds, until the clock on the wall rang "Ding" on the hour, he sighed softly, and picked up a piece of fruit from the fruit plate. The melon took a bite, and said vaguely: "That's right...then what... Actually, after you went back that day, I thought about it for a long time, and my worry might indeed be a little unnecessary, so I decided to change my thinking."

Ji Liao glanced at him: "?"

"That's what I think... In fact, you two are quite similar. You have a bit of a workaholic temperament. You don't have much interest in other things. When you don't want to talk about it, you don't have the concept of 'trying'. In the past, you always pursued The orator rushed at your face, which made you feel cold, so I think... It may be a bit difficult to expect the two of you to talk to each other with a normal partner... Maybe we can just make do with each other..."

"That's enough." After all these years of acquaintance, Ji Liao is quite comfortable with his jumpy topic changes, and quickly realized what he was saying, "Don't lay the groundwork, just say what you want to say."

"Well...Actually...actually, I didn't want to say anything..." Xiao Zhiyu blinked, hesitated to speak for a while, and sighed softly, "Well, actually, there was a dinner before, I just heard about it It’s really a coincidence that I know something that can’t be found by modern information technology by coincidence, so I feel a little emotional-life is already so difficult, why make it more difficult for this kind of thing, it’s just a relationship , just do whatever you want, there's no need to entangle so much, you two don't really have to spend the rest of your life together."

"..." Ji Liao had a bad premonition in his heart, before he could refute Xiao Zhiyu's last sentence, he asked "what" first.

In fact, Xiao Zhiyu didn't know whether he should talk to Ji Liao about this matter, but the conversation had already begun, so he could only bite the bullet and finish:

"Well... just... a friend of my friend, he happened to go to the same junior high school as your captain, and he was in the same class for three years, so I asked him a little bit about your captain..." He stammered, "It was exaggerated in their school circles before. At first, it was rumored that he was aloof and looked down on everyone. Later, it was rumored that his parents had killed someone and was revenged. Later, it was said that he had mental problems and could not speak. ...It's all ugly and outrageous things...Oh yes...my friend's friend said...he seems to have been bullied before..."

"..." Every time Ji Liao heard a sentence, his expression sank, "Bullying?"

"Don't be angry... My friend's friend is not an accomplice... At that time, he actually felt a little bit uncomfortable..." Xiao Zhiyu quickly comforted him, "He said that he saw someone catch a few centipedes and throw them into your captain's pencil bag Li, it's really too much, he even stepped forward to ask your captain if there is something wrong, if you need help, etc... But your captain doesn't seem to have heard what he said at all, ignored him, and his mood did not fluctuate , very decisively threw the pencil case into the trash can, and went back to the seat to continue doing homework. Later, I heard that I was out of school for a year due to illness. When I came back, I went directly to a key high school that was far away, completely separated from my previous social circle, and went to high school. After that, it was like a different person, and then it was a matter of going back to Qinjiang Public Security University."

After Ji Liao listened in a daze, he didn't say anything for a long time: "He..."

'I didn't hear what he said at all', 'I didn't pay attention to him', 'There was no emotional fluctuation', 'It seemed like a different person' - the speaker had no intention, but the listener intended, especially for someone like Ji Liao who was 'in the know' 'Listener, after hearing this, I just feel pain in my heart.

too bitter.

Especially after Ji Liao checked the old case files of the fire.

At that time, investigators found charcoal-burning basins and unburned books in the corner of the fire scene. Several pages of them were marked with red pens on the contents of "suicide". To determine whether there are other traumas on his body, plus the fact that the aging circuit caused a short circuit and caused an explosion, it seems that no matter how we investigate, this fire can only be classified as an 'accident', and there is a high probability that it is still caused by the 'subjective will of the victim' caused the accident.

How could it be just an accident.

How could it be so 'just right'?

Xiao Zhiyu carefully observed Ji Liao from the corner of his eye for a while, cleared his throat, and said carefully, "To be honest... I didn't believe it for a while after I heard these things... I met him several times before, and he has a pretty personality. Well, it doesn’t match up with aloofness and being out of gregarious at all, and Jing Ze always tells me how gentle and stable their captain is, no matter how much they change, they can’t change so thoroughly, right? So it’s good to have heard these things, no It’s necessary to take it too seriously, it’s probably just junior high school students playing around and being isolated, it’s probably not as exaggerated as my friend said.”

Ji Liao's eyes dimmed upon hearing this.

Perhaps the truth is far more exaggerated than what outsiders said, and what the other party narrated personally last time, and in the end only Yan Cun himself knows what happened.

Ji Liao felt a little impulsive in his heart.

Now he can't think of anything else, he has forgotten about the fire, and he has completely forgotten about the pile of things analyzed by Cai Cai and Xiao Zhiyu just now, and he only wants to see Yan Cun now, immediately, immediately.

I don't want to talk about the case anymore, I just want to see him, and I just want to stay together for a while.

After not getting a response for a long time, Xiao Zhiyu racked his brains and tried to talk about something else to ease the atmosphere: "Also... last time Zhang Jingze... oh right... forgot to tell you, I was with Zhang Jingze We got together, just before the National Day holiday, he chatted with me about your detachment, saying that your captain has always been very kind to him, and he didn’t blame him for his mistakes when he first joined the detachment, the rest of the team They also take special care of him, and have no prejudice against our special group... So he thought, in the future, we will find a chance to have a meal together and get to know something..."

Ji Liao didn't listen at all: "Oh."

"Hmm... um! That's all I want to say... nothing..." After Xiao Zhiyu finished speaking, at this moment, a message appeared in the dialog box of the mobile phone. He was relieved and sent the IP Show the address to Ji Liao, "I found it, I found it, but only a rough general direction is displayed, but it's not near the location you mentioned, it's a thousand miles away...you see."

Ji Liao came back to his senses, temporarily let go of his thoughts just now, stared at the address displayed by the coordinates for a while, and found that he really couldn't let go.

His mind was blank, his heart was in a mess, and he forgot all he said just now.

Ji Liao got up from the sofa abruptly, said "Let's go" in a hurry, left Xiao's house quickly, and sped up the car to drive home. He even forgot his mobile phone at Xiao Zhiyu's place, and he didn't have time to give the news. Send a message, park the car in a hurry, and go upstairs in two steps in three steps.

Workaholic?impossible.

Ji Liao took a few breaths to clear his mind, raised his hand and hurriedly knocked on the door, coughed lightly to wake up the sensor light, took a few steps back and stood where the cat's eyes could see, and heard the sound of footsteps behind the door quietly heading towards the door near.

His heartbeat speeded up inexplicably.

The sound of footsteps stopped in front of the door for several seconds, the light in the cat's eyes was blocked for a while, and it took a long time for the person inside to carefully open the door and poke his head out.

"Ji Liao? Why do you..."

Ji Liao stepped into the room without saying a word, exhaled lightly, and couldn't restrain the surging emotions in his heart just now, suddenly he hugged the man from behind into his arms.

The person in his arms let out a short "huh" in fright, and froze in place for a while.

He seemed to have just taken a shower not long ago, his body was full of steam, and there were still some drops of water hanging on the tips of his hair, his skin was slightly hot, Ji Liao felt itchy from the heat, and the strength in his hands increased a bit, Never spoke.

Although the two of them hugged each other once before in the pitch-black screening room, it was obvious that the last time they chatted too high, and the topic of the conversation was a bit depressing. It was just a comforting hug—but this time nothing happened, the two of them were closer than last time, Ji Liao's warm breath kept rushing to the side of his neck, Yan Cun's face turned hot for no reason, and he struggled a little. :"you……"

"Don't move." Ji Liao said sullenly, "I just want to give you a hug... just a hug... okay?"

No way, no way, hug all hugs, hug first and then talk.

Yan Cun let out a "huh", and had a guess in his heart, and his voice was softer: "Okay, okay...then you hug..."

Ji Liao's contrasting cuteness and "double standard" nature are very useful to him-every time he behaves differently in front of him and other people, let himself go a little bit, and don't hide what he wants to ask. , In addition to talking about the past that he didn't want to talk about a few times, and discovering the same details many times in the handling of the case, he inexplicably had a subtle feeling of 'they are on the same channel'.

In the past, he thought he was rational and honest, knew his own state like the palm of his hand, and never deceived himself, but now he realizes that he knows the reason for those 'wrong' psychological fluctuations, and knows his true inner thoughts, but Have been reluctant to think about why.

Perhaps it was this way of getting along that made him feel at ease.

Impulsive in his heart, before Ji Liao could react, he broke away from the hug with a little force, quickly turned around and hugged Ji Liao into his arms, his hands went around Ji Liao's broad shoulders and gently stroked his back a few times , and said with a bit of coaxing meaning: "What's the matter? What wronged you? Tell me?"

Ignoring the comforting hug last time, this was the first time he had physical contact with someone beyond the normal social distance.

Ji Liao blinked, it seemed that it was the first time he was hugged like a child in his arms, his throat was a little dry for a while, and the pat on the back made his heart itch.

He loosened his strength a little, and put his hands on the opponent's waist as if losing strength, and whispered: "No."

"Pretend, look in the mirror yourself and see how wronged you are."

"No." Hearing this, Ji Liao turned his head to look at the reflection on the refrigerator shell, met Yan Cun who happened to be looking there, and quickly looked away in a panic.

He took a deep breath, and added firmly in a small voice: "I think... I think you won't be wronged in the future."

"..."

Yan Cun opened his mouth, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. A thought popped up for a moment, but he pushed it back uncontrollably. He didn't know what to say for a long time.

He let go and backed away, stared at Ji Liao for a while, then sighed, "I can't answer your words."

That being said, in fact, the breath, heat and touch of being too close just now still lingered in his cerebral cortex, and he regretted letting go too soon.

Ji Liao's eyes drooped a little, and he gave a soft "hmm" and said with some pitiful disappointment, "It's okay, don't need to answer."

"..."

Yan Cun hardly heard a "tsk".

If I hadn't remembered that this person had choked him on the topic of 'social terror' several times a few months ago, I would have almost believed it.

But it's clear that this person is putting on a show, but he just can't control it... Mom's heart is soft.

"Take me in for a night?" Ji Liao blinked, and said it as if it was true, "I forgot my key and mobile phone at Xiao Zhiyu's home, and I had a fight with my elder brother not long ago, so I had nowhere to go, so I had to Came here to join you."

He thought for a while, and added: "The quarrel was more fierce, and he told me not to go home in the future."

"..." Yan Cun refused to accept this, "I will lend you my mobile phone to call Xiao Zhiyu?"

Ji Liao: "..."

Yan Cun pretended to be serious and stared at him for a while, but he really didn't have any acting talent, so he couldn't help but "puchi" and laughed for a long time before saying, "I'm just kidding...you have taken me in so many times...how can I say no?"

Besides, from the bottom of his heart, he hoped that Ji Liao would stay, and for no reason he didn't want to break this 'not quite right' way of getting along.

Ji Liao carefully met his eyes, his head was lowered, looking a little aggrieved and pitiful, he raised his hand and gently rubbed Ji Liao's head, restraining the point in his heart that something was wrong. ' thought, walked quickly towards the bedroom, motioning for Ji Liao to follow.

He originally wanted to take out the pajamas that he borrowed from Ji Liao last time, but Ji Liao was a bit aggressive and insisted that the one on him was better--he was not used to people being vexatious, so he conjured an identical pajamas out of the closet like magic. Handing it over, he raised his eyebrows and smiled at Ji Liao.

Ji Liao was a little unhappy, didn't reach out to take it, walked into the bathroom angrily, slammed the door behind him, forgot about his obsession with cleanliness, and decided to sleep in dirty clothes tonight.

Yan Cun smiled heartily, couldn't help laughing outside the bathroom for a long time, with tears streaming from the corners of his eyes, he changed the new pajamas with his own pajamas indulgently, put them on the chair in front of the bathroom door, He knocked on the door and said with a chuckle, "Open the door to receive the gift", and hid in his own room in three steps in two steps, quietly opened a crack in the door, and carefully stared out for a while.

After Ji Liao took off his clothes, he pushed open the door indifferently, leaned out half of his body, reached out to fish the pajamas in, and moved his eyes inadvertently to the direction of the door crack, with a smile on the corner of his eyes.

Yan Cun quickly closed the bedroom door.

Until he heard the bathroom door close again, he opened a crack in the door again, his eyes moved towards the frosted glass door calmly, his eyes stuck to Ji Liao's blurred figure for a while, some images flashed through his mind, and his heartbeat couldn't stop. Consciously speed up a bit.

At that moment, he was sure that he might have fallen in love with Ji Liao.

Chapter 62 Twilight Fire · Eighteenth Street Pedestrians stopped one after another, and together with the two people in the car, they cast their eyes on the frightening and shocking scene.

He locked the door with a "click", looked up at the ceiling in a daze, trying to clear his mind, but he unconsciously recited the word "Ji Liao" several times in his heart, before he could see the smooth abdominal muscle lines and fair shoulders and neck The skin on his chest seemed to still be on his retina, which made him hot for no reason.

— This is not right.

He calmed down for a while, and locked himself in the room for a few minutes before he came back to his senses, and before he could suppress these small thoughts, he quietly opened the door a little before Ji Liao came out of the shower. She sat back on the bed obediently, not knowing what she was expecting.

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and his breathing stopped for a few seconds.

A few minutes later, the bathroom door sounded, and the footsteps gradually approached. Seeing Ji Liao pushing open the door with his arms around the quilt, and asking with a smile at the corner of his mouth, "Can we sleep together?" .

He forced himself to convince himself, remembering Ji Liao's negative emotions just before he entered the house, he was afraid that Ji Liao had really encountered something, and he was embarrassed to say that he just pretended to be a stubble, afraid that Ji Liao would be pitiful and sad alone in the lonely night, In the end, he reluctantly agreed to Ji Liao's proposal, and raised his hand to pat on the bed.

The two of them each occupied half of the bed, turned off the lights and lay down, it seemed that there was no difference from the previous stays.

As usual, he had a few gossips and nonsense with Ji Liao, lay down obediently and said "good night", and after a while he called "Ji Liao" again.

Ji Liao opened his eyes.

"Hmm." He didn't know what he wanted to say, but he just wanted to call Ji Liao, so he casually brought up another topic, "The one who wore the peaked cap last time..."

"..." Ji Liao interrupted him helplessly, "Don't talk about work in the middle of the night, okay? Tomorrow, tomorrow."

Xiao Zhiyu's analysis is really correct, Captain Yan is indeed a bit of a workaholic.

"Oh..." In fact, Yan Cun didn't want to talk about work in the middle of the night, he was too tired, but he couldn't think of other topics with his communication skills.

After a while, he thought of something else: "Then...Wen Lianyi...and Shen Lin...I guess I'm right, right?"

Ji Liao was stunned for a few seconds, and it took him a long time to realize what he was talking about, and he said "um", "It's quite obvious."

"They... like each other?" Yan Cun asked.

When he said the word 'like', he took a breath and couldn't help but think of something else, his eyes fixed on Ji Liao from the darkness.

Ji Liao replied, "Yes."

"That...Jing Ze and that Xiao...Xiao or something, they also like each other."

Ji Liao said "Yes", and incidentally told Yan Cun about Xiao Zhiyu and Zhang Jingze, but Yan Cun didn't even bother to think about what he said, so he responded casually and turned his head calmly. He stood up and carefully moved his position forward.

Ji Liao also turned inside, not wanting to hide anything, he moved forward for a long distance, and the breathing sound of the two people next to his ear was particularly obvious in the room: "Why...ask this suddenly."

"Nothing," Yan Cun paused for a second, "Just ask casually."

"Hmm..." Ji Liao didn't quite believe it, but for no reason, he remembered what Xiao Zhiyu said just now, and suddenly realized that it made sense, so he casually said, "Just do whatever you want, there's no need to get so entangled."

Yan Cun thought for a while, but didn't speak.

Ji Liao chuckled helplessly, closed his eyes, and said softly, "Sleeping."

Yan Cun: "...um."

He moved a little distance away, and closed his eyes with careful thought.

After a while, after Ji Liao's breathing gradually became long and calm, he opened his eyes again and stared at Ji Liao for a while.

Maybe he knew what kind of emotion he had towards Ji Liao all along—but he was a little timid for a while.

He is not very confident, afraid that all this is just his illusion, afraid that after breaking the current 'delicacy', the way of getting along between the two of them will be different from what he imagined, but at the same time he can't restrain the expectation in his heart, I can't restrain the urge to get closer to the other party, and I can't restrain those unspeakable petty thoughts.

He had listened to Ji Liao's "follow your heart" just now, but it was still a bit difficult to put it into practice.

His previous experience made him a little afraid of the malice from the people around him, afraid of establishing an intimate relationship with others, afraid that he thought too much, and afraid that he actually didn't have the skill of 'developing intimate relationship'.

He leaned forward a little bit, poked Ji Liao's cheek with his fingertips, raised a hand and pressed it against Ji Liao's cheek.

After confirming that the other party fell asleep safely, he moved his hand to Ji Liao's slightly parted lips, stood up and gently pressed his lips on the back of his hand, and quickly took a step back, maintaining the safe distance he had always maintained.

The sound of the cloth rubbing against the other person's breathing calmed him down a little. He closed his eyes and slept peacefully all night. When he was about to wake up, he had a dream.

He saw Ji Liao in his dream, and the dream scene even coincided with the secret thoughts in his heart, until he got up and fled into the bathroom first, he realized that he was really out of control.

It's impossible to get out of control.

As a true workaholic who is 'rational, mature and steady', this small matter will not have a big impact on him in fact—just this small matter, give him three days and he will probably forget it. How could it be out of control.

But how many fucking days have passed.

In mid-October, the weather was getting cooler, and almost a week and a half after the factory fire incident, he woke up early again to wash his underwear.

Due to the recent typhoon landed in the nearby provinces and cities, there was a bit of wind and light rain on the Qinjiang River. His mood fell to the bottom along with the weather. He became inexplicably anxious and irritable, and he didn't speak much all day.

Since Wen Lianyi was assigned a task last time, asking her to work harder recently and not to act alone for that troublesome patient, she and the patient have followed wherever they go these days, commuting to and from work together Actions, except for bathing and sleeping, they almost stay together-but they seem to be quite happy to do so.

Shenlin's mental state gradually calmed down, and his illness was basically cured completely, and he returned to his previous gentle, introverted and quiet appearance.

On the day he was discharged from the hospital after the infusion, Aunt Shen was distressed that he ate the big pot meal in the hospital every day, and said that she asked him to go home and cook some delicious food - just after investigating Yan Peifeng last time, there was a fire and Wen Lianyi was injured. He really didn't want to see Yan Peifeng very much, and his doubts about Yan Peifeng reached a certain level. He was a little reluctant to go home for a while, but it was hard to refuse.

After discussing with the rest of the investigation team, he decided to let Wen Lianyi go home with him as a couple, have a meal with Yan Peifeng, and cleverly test whether there is anything wrong with Yan Peifeng.

Although Wen Lianyi has a carefree personality, she graduated from the Public Security University with a GPA of 3.6 and won many competition awards during her school days. She was no worse than the rest of the team when she investigated the case——Yan Peifeng didn’t seem to have changed much on the surface that day. , speaking in a full-fledged manner, still polite with a bit of a sharp look, except for some pale face and lip color, there seems to be nothing wrong.

She carefully asked a question. Aunt Shen said that Yan Peifeng had been suffering from hypoglycemia. In addition, she was busy with work in the company recently, didn't sleep well, and was a little weak. If she said this from her aunt, she would have to believe it if she didn't believe it. I believed so two or three points, but in the end I just mentioned this sentence in the investigation group, and didn't pay much attention to it, so I put Yan Peifeng's matter aside.

Today happened to be Friday, a whole week since Ji Liao stayed overnight last time.

Ji Liao had just heard the news from Xiao Zhiyu the night before, and the next day when everyone in the detachment office was chatting, Zhang Jingze happened to tell the detachment about it and kicked the cabinet door.

Everyone didn't have any prejudice against this matter, and they all teased and wished him a few words. Zhang Jingze was a little touched, and said that he would treat everyone to a meal or something when he had time-at first, Ji Liao really couldn't understand this love affair. I had to invite my friends to have a meal together. Later, I thought about it, Zhang Jingze really treated everyone in the detachment as his family, and by the way, he put himself in his heart. If he was with someone someday, he would wish the whole world I know, so I quickly understood.

It's been raining and traffic jams recently, and it's hard to find a place to park when eating outside. It happened that Zhang Jingze was off on Saturday the next day, so he mentioned that everyone in the detachment should come to his house for dinner tonight.

Yan Cun first greeted the two people in the room, sat down on the sofa, chatted with Ji Liao for a few words, then looked around, and asked: "Huh? Why does it seem that someone is missing? Is there anyone who hasn't arrived yet? "

"Shen Lin didn't come."

There were only a few people in the detachment that Zhang Jingze knew well. Wen Lianyi understood that he was asking why, and replied: "It's Aunt Shen's birthday today, and he said he had to go home and have a meal with Auntie. Go to his house and bother?"

"Hmm..." He thought for a while, feeling a little flustered for no reason. He couldn't tell whether it was because the rain was getting heavier and heavier outside the window or something else. come."

"Okay." Wen Lianyi smiled, "Probably not, I'll go directly to him later."

"it is good."

After chatting casually for a while, Zhang Jingze called them to the table for dinner, and introduced Xiao Zhiyu to them with a sense of ceremony.

In fact, Xiao Zhiyu and the rest of the detachment have met a few times, and have a few mutual friends with Jiang Huai, which can be regarded as exchanging WeChat relationships, let alone Ji Liao, so the meal this time is no different from the usual ordinary meal.

Xiao Zhiyu blurred out some of the clues, and told him about Yan Peifeng that Ji Liao asked him to check before. During this time, Wen Lianyi answered the phone, saying that it was raining too hard, and her sister was not answering at school. I had to drive to pick them up, so I left the table early and let them eat by themselves.

Yan Cun had an intuition that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. In the end, he just casually reminded her to send a message to her sister to report her safety.

After dinner, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening. After leaving Zhang Jingze's house, the rain was stronger than this afternoon, and the weather forecast showed an orange warning signal.

"Then what... my adoptive father's house is not far from here, it's on the street in front..." Yan Cun said, "Why don't you go back first, I'll buy some fruit to visit him, and I'll come back when it rains."

Since Ji Liao said that last time, he has thought about it a little bit. Since the thunderstorm is not in good condition and he is in a bad mood, he should stay away from the thunderstorm. He is not the only one in the criminal investigation team. In the previous situation, he could also ask his sub-detachment for a little help.

Ji Liao reacted for a few seconds, looked at the raindrops falling on the glass window, and asked him, "Do you have an umbrella?"

"No." Yan Cun glanced at him, "Is there in the car? Lend me a hand?"

"Me neither." Ji Liao said.

Not to mention whether the rain will stop tonight, even if it stops, he is not willing to let Yan Cun go alone, and wants to stay with Yan Cun for a while.

"How about I go with you?" Ji Liao suggested, "Actually, I haven't met him a few times, and I don't know him very well. Every time I saw him before, my elder brother was there, so I didn't have the chance to communicate with him. ——Since I plan to check on your parents this time, I have to check on him more or less, why don't you take this opportunity to meet and find out? Let's go home together after we see each other? "

Hearing this, Yan Cun let out a "huh". His original intention was to go back to Fang Yushan's house to make some tea, greet him as usual, and then leave after 10 minutes: "Just the two of us? Would it be... a bit weird , like meeting your parents?"

His attention was distracted by the external environment, and he didn't think too much. Before Ji Liao could speak, he said again: "How about I send a message to Jing Ze? Ask him to go with him, just say to visit the old chief, okay? "

Ji Liao thought for a while, nodded, and said "OK".

After the message was sent successfully, while waiting for Zhang Jingze's reply, Ji Liao took a step forward, resting his elbow on the edge of the window sill, staring at the heavier rain outside and the flashing lightning for a while, and raised his hand to block Yan Cun's eyes.

The skin on the palm of his hand was lightly brushed by the eyelashes of the other party, and it was a little itchy. It took a long time before he uttered a word: "Afraid?"

"Ah..." Yan Cun came back to his senses, "It's okay."

His shoulders and back tensed for a while, he sighed softly, and added: "I'm less afraid than before."

Ji Liao felt uneasy for no reason, his voice was a little unsteady, and he said "um", "How about... come back to my house in a while? I will accompany you? Otherwise, you won't be able to sleep later."

Yan Cun replied "Yes".

The two of them waited in the corridor of Fang Yushan's house for a while, and after Zhang Jingze went out, they asked him to buy some fruit, left Xiao Zhiyu at home alone, and the three of them went to the old director Fang Yushan's house together.

Fang Yushan didn't feel impolite when he opened the door and saw three uninvited guests. On the contrary, he was very happy. He warmly made tea to greet them, chatted about some daily life and work matters, and asked about Ji Liao's family situation by the way. It's kind of like meeting your parents.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Zhang Jingze chose to walk home, and the two of them quickly got into the car, and their shoulders were inevitably wet from the rain.

"Ji Liao..." Fang Yushan sent the two of them to the car, stood firmly under the eaves, and stopped Ji Liao and asked, "Why do you want to become a forensic doctor? Why didn't you learn economics like your brother?" specialty?"

"..." Although Ji Liao didn't like Fang Yushan inexplicably, he didn't show anything. He just used the universal excuse before, "slip."

"Really?" Fang Yushan asked thoughtfully, "Your brother...does he think the same way?"

"Why did you let him study Public Security?" Ji Liao asked.

Yan Cun in the passenger seat was startled, and his reaction was a little slow. It took a long time to realize that Ji Liao was talking about him. Just as he was about to say something, Fang Yushan replied with a smile: "He likes it."

Ji Liao: "..."

"Alas..." Fang Yushan beat his waist with his hands behind his back for a while, and said with a smile, "I'm getting old... I get rheumatism when it rains... an old problem..."

"Ah..." Yan Cun said, "Then you go up quickly, we're leaving now."

"Yeah." Fang Yushan told him, "Be careful, don't get caught in the rain, go back and take a shower."

"I know, I know, you go up."

After Yan Cun finished speaking, Ji Liao quickly rolled up the window and drove the car forward for a certain distance. Only then did he have time to find a towel from the car: "Wipe it."

"……what?"

"Water on the shoulder."

"Oh... yes." Yan Cun replied.

He took the towel, his breathing was a little messy, and the weird feeling in his heart became more and more intense, and he couldn't think of whether he should call someone for a long time.

"Ji Liao..." he said, "I always feel that something is wrong..."

"how?"

"It seems... as if something is going to happen..." He closed his eyes, "I was just thinking about who I was going to call after dinner, but I forgot all of a sudden."

"..." Ji Liao quickly went through the memory just now, "Shen Lin?"

"Ah... ah." Yan Cun paused for a few seconds, and before he had time to sigh the tacit understanding between the two, he opened his eyes in a jerk, "Yes! Shenlin! That's right! I... I just let Wen Lianyi ...No, no! What about Wen Lianyi's promised report?! I, I'll give him a call..."

Just at this moment, the phone in his uniform pocket rang 'Ding Ling Ling', and the two of them stopped breathing, and at the same time they saw the word 'Careful Lin' displayed on the screen.

Since receiving a call from Wen Lianyi in the car last week, the two of them had a conditioned reflex, and their bad premonition became stronger, so they hurriedly answered the call and turned on the loudspeaker.

The rain obstructed the sight a little, so Ji Liao stepped on the accelerator lightly and drove forward carefully.

"Shen Lin?? Shen... Where is Shen Lin... Where are you?!"

He was a little flustered and anxious, and called to the other end of the phone several times, but no one answered. The background sound seemed to be a mixture of flames burning and the sound of rainstorm falling, mixed with some heavy breathing and suppressed gasping sounds, All kinds of eerie sounds mixed together.

His body trembled violently, and the chill rushed to his brain from his back in an instant. His fingertips trembled slightly, and he checked the contacts displayed on the screen again. Some of the scenes in the movie overlapped weirdly.

"Yan Cun!? What's the matter??" Ji Liao sensed that something was wrong with the person in the passenger seat, recalled something for a moment, and first asked loudly for him, "Shen Lin?? Shen Lin?! Yours How are you!? Talk back! What's going on?!"

He held the steering wheel tightly with one hand, and reached out with the other hand to grab Yan Cun's hand firmly. He found that the man's movements were stiff, his fingertips were trembling, and it was too cold.

The breathing sound on the other end of the phone was a little short, and the background sound was noisy. After a long time, someone finally had a hoarse voice, his consciousness seemed a little fuzzy, and he broke down crying and said, "I, I already... already called... 119... ...I've called the fire department..."

"Where are you!?" Ji Liao grabbed Yan Cun forcefully with one hand, trying to transfer the temperature to him, and with the other hand, he gripped the steering wheel and drove forward, "Where are you now!! Tell me the location!!"
