The gloomy mist in the mountains and forests is gradually faded by the morning sun in the sky. From the top of the mountain to the mountainside, the sun is immersed in the yellow-green treetops little by little.

The circuit hadn't been repaired yet, so Ji Shang started the car and used the car's charging socket to charge the phone that hadn't been turned on overnight.As soon as the phone was turned on, it received a message from Ding Hengyuan.

Compared with the semi-paralyzed road conditions when Yin Hao went up the mountain, all the mud and rocks have been cleaned up, and the signal tower hanging above the road is being re-fixed.

Ji Shang sent a message to Xiao Niba, telling her to bring her things to the parking lot and prepare to go home.As soon as the text message was sent, someone knocked on the car window outside.

Yin Hao supported the roof of the car and leaned over to look at Ji Shang.Ji Shang unlocked the car, but Yin Hao didn't open the door, but motioned him to get out of the car.

Ji Shang got in without knowing it, but still got out of the car.

Yin Hao walked around the front of the car, walked slowly towards Ji Shang, and said, "Do you have time?"

"What I have the most is time." Ji Shang laughed at himself, while avoiding Yin Haoming's swaying eyes and looked sideways to the other side of the parking lot.

A person hurriedly ran out of the gate of the nursing home, and that person pressed the car key to unlock it from a distance.The lights of the small white car next to it flickered.Xiang Chao opened the door straight, and the car drove out after a while.

Yin Hao stretched out his hand and shook Ji Shang's eyes: "What are you looking at?"

The loud tire noise slowly faded away, and the white car disappeared at the end of the mountain road curve.In fact, Ji Shang didn't understand what he was exploring.It was just his habitual thinking. He felt that Xiang Chao, who left in a panic, and a person who had just learned that his missing family members had returned home safely, after a false alarm, were difficult to reconcile, and there was a sense of tearing between the two.

Ji Shang came back to his senses, only vaguely heard Yin Hao's question 'What are you looking at? '.Then he casually said: "I didn't see anything."

Yin Hao saw that his wandering thoughts hadn't fully returned to his place, so he took the opportunity to say: "Then you agreed to my proposal just now?"

"I agree." Ji Shang said casually, and then suddenly asked, "What did I promise?"

"Take you somewhere." Yin Hao looked at Ji Shang's right arm, "I'll drive, you take the co-driver."

When Ji Shang got into the car, Yin Hao was about to adjust the driver's seat.

Ji Shang hurriedly said: "Don't move, I can't adjust it back. Now this distance is the most perfect, it doesn't matter if it's one centimeter more or less."

Yin Hao obediently stopped.After fastening the seat belt, he patted his leg and pretended to complain: "I have wronged you, I have nowhere to put my long legs."

Ji Shang snorted and laughed out loud: "Shameless? You're just a little taller, what's there to show off? I hang upside down on the horizontal bar for an hour, and I can be even with you when I come down."

"Only you can go on the horizontal bar, but I can't?" Yin Hao looked at Ji Shang with light in his eyes and a smile on his mouth.Although it was teasing, the eyes were deep enough to make people uncomfortable.

Ji Shang was stunned, and then said after a while: "Childish!"

Yin Hao caught a trace of panic in Ji Shang's momentary stupefaction, so the corners of his eyes and brows raised, and he turned his head contentedly to start the car.

The car drove out slowly, and stopped in front of the surprised little mud.

Little Niba felt aggrieved and said, "Boss, where are you going with Police Officer Yin? What should I do? You don't care about me?"

"Your boss has to follow me now, and I can't go back for the time being." Yin Hao pointed to Deng Deng behind Little Niba, "But you, as a lost and needy people, can let the police officer behind you take you back."

"Boss..." Little Muddy Qiqi Ai said, "You, did you commit a crime? Are you really arrested this time?"

Ji Shang couldn't help laughing: "Why do you always think that I will be arrested by him? When did I commit a crime, your boss?"

Little Mud pursed his lips, and muttered: "The police want to take you away, what is it not for committing a crime? Could it be that they want to take you to contribute to socialist construction? Or do they want to have a socialist brotherhood with you?"

Ji Shang glanced at Yin Hao subconsciously, and the other party didn't seem to mind the somewhat outrageous joke of Little Niba, but instead stared at him with great interest.Ji Shang thought that this person might not understand the subtext of Xiao Niba's insinuations at all.

"Come here, little mud, let me see what waste is in your head?"

Ji Shang stretched out his hand to hook Xiao Niba's head, and Xiao Niba hurriedly backed away with a laugh. Deng Deng, who was stuck behind his back, was trampled hard by her, causing him to spin around in pain, screaming.

"Assaulting the police! You are assaulting the police! I tell you, Comrade Ni Xiao, you are going to be arrested."

"You threaten me? You are a people's policeman, and you threaten me."

"Then, how about it, I can reluctantly reach a settlement with you."

"How to reconcile?"

"After the leisurely night, just fry a few pumpkin pancakes for me to eat."

"Wow, you are using your position for personal gain."

"Hey... you still understand this."

"I don't understand anything, you're just hungry."

Ni Xiao and Deng Deng fought and walked towards the parking lot, their voices getting farther and farther away.Yin Hao restarted the car and drove away from the Changping Nursing Home on the mountainside of Xiping.

Ji Shang probably still remembered the location of the signal tower.From the foot of the mountain to the nursing home, you have to pass two homestays, and the signal tower is located between the two homestays.

About 10 minutes passed.If Ji Shang remembered correctly, they would pass by the first homestay soon.

When the gray courtyard wall appeared on the other side of the mountain road, Ji Shang, who had been silent for a long time, asked a very abrupt question.

"Did the family members say why Kuang Jie and Yi Xiangxue lost contact and returned home late?"

Ji Shang asked this question suddenly, Yin Hao paused and said, "Didn't it rain in Xiping Mountain yesterday? The car Kuang Jie called broke down halfway down the mountain. Later, she couldn't get a car and encountered heavy rain again. The mountain road was washed away, so she stayed in a homestay in Xipingshan for one night. Last night, the circuit in Xipingshan was paralyzed, and her mobile phone was out of battery, so she could not get in touch with her family."

"It's really weird." Ji Shang looked at the homestay that was gradually being pulled in, and said with a belly smile, "Kuang Jie left the nursing home at around [-] o'clock at noon, it started to rain at [-] o'clock, and the road was destroyed by mudslides at [-] o'clock. From the nursing home to Xiping The foot of the mountain is only half an hour’s drive away, and she couldn’t get a taxi for six hours, during which time she didn’t ask Xiang Chao or her family for help, and just stayed in a strange homestay like that, it’s just nonsense.”

Yin Hao raised his eyebrows, and slowly stepped on the brakes.He parked the car in front of the gate of the hotel, got out of the car and hurried towards the hotel.

Yin Hao returned to the car a few minutes later.

"How about it?"

Yin Hao shook his head: "The rooms on weekends are fully booked on weekdays. It is impossible to have a temporary reservation yesterday. I showed the photos of Kuang Jie and Yi Xiangxue mother and daughter to the front desk, but no one has seen them."

"There is only such a homestay on the road from the nursing home in Changping to the rainstorm. If she is really stranded on the road down the mountain, she can only stay in this homestay."

Yin Hao asked, "Is Kuang Jie lying?"

Ji Shang lowered his eyes in deep thought and remained silent.Xiang Chao's expression when he left reappeared in his mind, together with the strange feeling at that time.

Ji Shang frowned suddenly, turned to Yin Hao and said meaningfully: "Or maybe it's not Kuang Jie who is lying."

Yin Hao frowned and thought about it for a while, then said knowingly: "You mean the family members are lying? Kuang Jie and Yi Xiangxue's mother and daughter did not return home safely."

Ji Shang didn't answer, just looked at the gray and white road in front of him in a snake shape, his thoughts were like the clear and shallow track hidden in the forest at the end, which couldn't be seen clearly.

It was originally an exceptional case that was filed in advance, but now the family members claim that the missing mother and daughter have returned home safely and request to withdraw the case, which can be described as happy.

What's more, Cao Weiwei's rigorous style of being supported by evidence in everything, based on Ji Shang and Yin Hao's unfounded inferences, it is absolutely impossible for Yin Hao to continue to investigate.

Yin Hao hung up Cao Weiwei's call, and seeing his expression, Ji Shang knew the result.

However, this result was also expected by Ji Shang: "Captain Cao has her reasons for making such a decision. This is just my unilateral deduction. It is true that I can't waste police force and resources just because of my few words."

Having said that, Ji Shang also understands that Yin Hao is different from him.Even if he smells the slightest bit of illogical conspiracy, Yin Hao will hold on to it.

It is not so easy to comfort Yin Hao, Ji Shang began to rack his brains to refute his previous remarks.

"If the case is withdrawn, it will be withdrawn. Don't think too much about it. Whether the family members are lying or Kuang Jie is lying. In short, there are many reasons for lying. The possibility of Kuang Jie's mother and daughter still missing is very small. Besides this There is another kind of person in the world who is born to lie. You ask him what he has for lunch, even if he eats dumplings, he can say noodles. If he doesn’t lie, he will feel uncomfortable, and there are not so many conspiracy theories.”

Ji Shang thought of the man who took lies as a routine.Even though he just had a girlfriend, he insisted on saying that he naturally likes the same sex.Obviously rushing to the mentality of hunting for novelty and having fun, but insisted on packaging himself as an idiot.

Fortunately, the night before leaving school, someone helped Ji Shang vent his anger. He couldn't help but applaud when he recalled the trick of choking his throat and hugging him.

It's just that Yin Hao was completely drunk that night, and he still seems to have no memory of what happened that day, but Ji Shang felt that this should be considered a good thing for Yin Hao, lest he be disgusted for no reason.

Thinking of this, Ji Shang felt inexplicably irritable. He was obviously the one who was offended, but now he was worried about whether Yin Hao was disgusting or not.And what a fucking warm heart.

Ji Shang couldn't help but gritted his teeth and sighed, turned his head and looked out the window.

Seeing the sudden change in Ji Shang's mood, Yin Hao might have made a mistake. He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers in front of Ji Shang's eyes. I read Changpingshan’s surveillance video, and although the case was withdrawn, the video is still there, so I asked him to send it to me for a look, so we can check it out.”

He really is a straight man of steel who perseveres and walks straight without turning.This drive to get to the bottom of the matter is really thorough, but Ji Shang doesn't want to talk to him at all, let alone praise him.

After rushing to repair the road, Yin Hao slowed down the speed.Silt and small gravel remained on the road surface, and the exposed loess on the cliff wall was covered with a layer of reinforcement mesh, and the broken trees were concentrated and cleared to the side of the road.

Up the cliff, a corner of the signal tower was exposed among the trees, and several rescuers in yellow were using corner brackets to reinforce the signal tower.

"Even the signal tower can't handle it. The wind and rain in Xiping Mountain last night was really strong!"

The sulking between Ji Shang and himself disappeared in a blink of an eye: "Lightning and thunder have lasted all night, and it hasn't stopped."

"Did you sleep well?" Yin Haochi asked.

"I fell asleep right away. I didn't even have to take off my clothes in a hurry." Ji Shang looked at Yin Hao, raised his eyebrows and flicked his tongue.

When Yin Hao heard this, his heart was inexplicably relieved, and he smiled completely.

Ji Shang whispered again: "It's really strange."

In the morning, Little Mud described the situation the night before in a thrilling way, but Ji Shang himself still had no clear and vivid memories.During the whole night of thunderstorms, Ji Shang only woke up once. Last night can be said to be the best night for Ji Shang to sleep in a long time, so good that he himself felt strange.

Ji Shang pulled down the mirror inside the light baffle, and said cheekily to himself, "I'm in good shape, why don't I feel like I haven't slept well?"

Yin Hao hastily glanced at Ji Shang: "Aren't many people afraid of thunder and lightning? I carefully assumed that you are one of them."

"You are guessing without any basis." Ji Shang looked at himself in the mirror, he was indeed a little pale, but his facial features were quite tough and sharp, why didn't everyone take his eyes and regarded him as a pretty boy.

Forget it when I was a child, pretending to be afraid of thunder and lightning, so that I don't have to sleep in a separate bed with Ding Hengyuan.But now that he was almost in his thirties, how could he still be suspected by a stunned young man? It was a great insult to his masculinity.

"When Qin Zhijie's case is cleared up, I must go to Sanya." Ji Shang pushed the visor up heavily.

In such a gag chat atmosphere, Ji Shang still remembered Qin Zhijie's case, Yin Hao couldn't help but feel a little moved.

He was startled, and said half-truth, "Travel to Sanya? Take me, senior."

Ji Shang sneered, "I'm going to get a tan, what are you doing?"

"I'll use it as a reference for you, and you can tan according to my skin tone."
