soldiers in front

The office door was gently pushed open, Xiao Jiang poked his head in and said with apologetic expression: "Doctor Ji, I want to admit my mistake to you."

Ji Zheng looked away from the computer screen, looked at her and smiled, "Come in and talk."

Xiao Jiang closed the door and stood across from his desk, and told the story of the appointment time of the next client that he misremembered.

Ji Zheng listened calmly, put down the mouse, took a sip of white water from his teacup, and asked, "Who is it?"

"Mr. Peng of the Crown Asia Group."

Ji Zheng looked at his watch and said: "About the time at seven o'clock in the evening. Call him now. If he disagrees, I will coordinate the time with him personally."

Xiao Jiang said yes, then lowered her head, rubbing her fingers, with a look of hesitation and silence.

Ji Zheng glanced at her, adjusted his glasses, looked at the computer again, and said, "It's okay, it's just a small mistake, and it won't affect your internship."

Xiao Jiang, like being pardoned, bowed her hands repeatedly to thank her, and when she was about to go out, she heard Ji Zheng call her.

"Little Ginger."

Xiao Jiang hurriedly turned around and waited for the battle: "Doctor Ji."

Ji Zheng smiled lightly at her, and said softly: "Just this time, don't make another example. Okay?"

Xiao Jiang was taken aback, for some reason, her heart suddenly stopped, and then it was beating wildly, her whole face flushed instantly, and she was in a trance, she didn't even know how to get out of Ji Zheng's office.

And Ji Zheng in the office is browsing the web, to be precise, he is watching a lace news from the entertainment industry.

Actress Li Han stayed overnight at a producer's house, and the two spent a good night together.

The bold, eye-catching title takes up a third of the page, with paparazzi snapped below it.The photo is blurry and the angle is very hidden, but it can still be seen from the enlarged face part of the media that the protagonists in the photo are a man and a woman.The woman was wearing a peaked cap, showing only the lower half of her face, and with the text commentary, it was beyond doubt that this woman was the actress, Li Han, who died in an accident a few months ago.

Ji Zheng wanted to see clearly the face of the man whose arm was held by the actress, but the tricky camera angle prevented him from seeing the man's face at all, and he could only roughly distinguish the man's figure.

This was the gossip news in October last year. The reason why it has been re-emerged in the public eye is that the heroine of the news has passed away three months ago, and the discovery of a mysterious lover before the death is caused by the media and the media. Something the public loves to talk about.

Ji Zheng also wanted to know who the mysterious man was photographed by the paparazzi when he and Li Han traveled together in October last year, but his starting point was not to satisfy curiosity, but for a different purpose.

The information that can be collected on the Internet is very limited. Ji Zheng looked at the computer for a while, his eyes were stimulated by the strong light, and his eyes were a little sore.

He took off his glasses and put them on the table, leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes to rest for a while, then took out his mobile phone and made a call.

No one picked up.

After getting a new mobile phone number, he used the current number to call the number dozens of times, but was prompted 'out of service area'.This time it also failed to get through, and the prompt sound was also that the called user was not in the service area.

He put down his cell phone, picked up his teacup and wanted to drink water, but found that the teacup was empty, and the water dispenser in the office broke down yesterday, and the water could not be heated, so he went out to get tea for indirect hot water.

Two nurses hid in the tea room chatting anxiously, one nurse saw Ji Zheng coming in, called "Doctor Ji" and then avoided, leaving Xiao Jiang alone.

Xiao Jiang poured coffee powder into the cup, and smiled at Ji Zheng: "Doctor Ji, do you want coffee?"

Ji Zheng stood in front of the water dispenser to receive hot water, and said, "No, I'll drink plain water."

Xiao Jiang moved two steps towards him, stirred the instant coffee and said in a low voice, "Doctor Ji, who did you ask me to stop in the lobby on the first floor that day?"

Ji Zheng was quiet, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. He asked me what was my relationship with you, and I said it was your assistant. Then he left a phone number for me, saying that if you come to the clinic, please let me call him."

Xiao Jiang asked curiously: "This person seems to want to see you very much. Is he a client who wants to talk to you?"

Ji Zheng didn't answer directly, just said: "No."

Although Su Xingye is very persistent now, he is not a person who does not know what to do.He only had to dodge him two or three times, and he gave up.Ji Zheng thought so, but he didn't know if he thought right.

He was a little distracted until the cup was filled with water, and the hot water flowed down the side of the cup and onto the back of his hand before he suddenly regained his senses.

"Be careful."

Xiao Jiang helped him turn on the switch of the water dispenser.

Ji Zheng took the cup in another hand, shook his right hand that was scorched red by hot water, and said lightly: "It's okay."

The phone rang, and he walked out of the tea room with a cup in his hand, and connected the call in the corridor.

As soon as the phone was connected, the other side smiled and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier when you returned home!"

Xiao Jiang came out of the tea room with coffee, looked at Ji Zheng and pointed to his workstation.Ji Zheng nodded to her, then turned sideways to avoid the office area with concentrated vision, and said with a smile: "Earlier, I didn't know I was going back to China. Are you back?"

"Just returned to the police station, wait for me for 10 minutes, see you at the old place."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Zheng returned to the office, took off his white coat, put on a suit jacket, took the car keys and walked out of the office, found Xiao Jiang in the office area, and said: "I'm going out, I have something to call."

Xiao Jiang said: "Your appointment with Mr. Peng is at seven o'clock."

Ji Zheng looked at his watch and said, "No delay."

Their old place is a time-honored hot pot restaurant. A group of people who graduated from high school went their separate ways and then got together to eat hot pot.

Ji Zheng walked into the hot pot restaurant and immediately smelled the aroma of spicy oil in the store.During the daytime, there were only a few tables of customers, and a few waiters chatted around the counter. When they saw a customer coming, they lazily asked him how many people were in his party.

Ji Zheng picked up a card room by the window, got into the pot first, and then began to wait for another person who had an appointment with him.

In the afternoon, a few more tables of guests were gradually seated in the store, and the man who arrived was late when the number of people gradually increased.

"here."

Ji Zheng raised his hand towards the door and smiled.

When the man in a black T-shirt and slacks saw him, his eyes widened in surprise, and he stared at him for a moment as if not recognizing him, then trotted over and sat opposite him.

"My God, I don't even recognize you!"

Ji Zheng picked up the teapot and poured him a glass of water, and said with a smile, "It's an exaggeration."

Min Chengzhou scanned him back and forth twice, shook his head and sighed: "It seems that the ivory towers of European and American people are very nourishing. Look at you now, you are extraordinary."

Ji Zheng put the water glass in front of him, and said with a smile: "What should I say now? Reciprocity, and a few words of praise for you?"

Min Chengzhou punched him on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "Fuck you, I'm sincere."

After the simple greetings, Min Chengzhou said: "To be honest, I thought you were not the only one I saw this time."

Ji Zheng expected what he was going to say, but he still sketched the dishes on the menu, pretending not to know: "Huh?"

Min Chengzhou said: "A few days ago, Su Xingye was transferred to Weining. I don't know where he got the news that you have returned to China, and he asked me for your phone number."

Ji Zheng just nodded, then handed the menu to the waiter, saying: "That's all, and another bottle of coconut milk." He said with a smile to Min Chengzhou: "We are all driving, so stop drinking."

Min Chengzhou waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care, looked at Ji Zheng and asked: "You and Su Xing—"

Before he finished speaking, Ji Zheng interrupted him lightly: "It's over."

Min Chengzhou was startled, sighed regretfully, and said, "That's right, you haven't seen him for seven or eight years."

Ji Zheng took a sip of water, ended Su Xingye's topic, and asked, "Have you brought anything?"

Min Chengzhou patted his thigh: "Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot the business." As he spoke, he took out a stack of documents from the kraft paper bag he carried and handed them to him, his expression became heavy in an instant: "I'm sorry, brother, at that time I I'm not in Weining, or you call me, I know—"

Ji Zheng didn't let him go on, took the document and said: "It has nothing to do with you, you don't need to blame yourself."

Ji Zheng finally got the information, but he didn't open it in a hurry, but sat silently for a while before opening the information.

As he learned at the police station; Li Han drove to the coffee shop opposite the Xiaonanyuan Hotel on Binhai Road at 3:13 on March 2, and left the coffee shop at 34:2 to drive out of the city. Her route seemed to be It was driving south along the expressway, but as soon as she got on the expressway, the car exploded|exploded.Shards of the windshield pierced Li Han's chest, resulting in Li Han's death on the spot and severe burns all over his body.When fire trucks and ambulances arrived, only the burning frame and Li Han's charred wreckage remained at the scene.

The second photo taken by Min Chengzhou included a scene photo. In the photo, Li Han's upper body fell out of the carriage, while his lower body remained in the carriage, maintaining a posture of climbing forward with both arms, his clothes and skin were burnt and blurred ...

Ji Zheng seemed to be able to smell the scorched smell of the burnt body at the scene of the accident.

There are only a few pages of information, and the last one is the 'Certification of Traffic Accident'.

Ji Zheng closed the file, closed his sore eyes and was silent for two seconds, then raised his eyes to look at Min Chengzhou and asked, "That's all?"

Min Chengzhou said: "At that time, it was the No. [-] Sub-bureau who sent the police. The No. [-] Sub-bureau took the body away for an autopsy. It was confirmed that the deceased died in an accident caused by the explosion of the car battery, and no case was filed. The body was sent to the police station the next day, and the people from the police station sent it to the police station again. Go to the funeral home, the funeral home has regulations, the corpse can only be kept for three days, and must be cremated after three days, so—”

Min Chengzhou couldn't go on talking anymore, he drank half a glass of tea instead of wine, and lowered his head gloomily.

As the most direct victim, Ji Zheng turned to comfort Min Chengzhou at this time, saying: "It's because I was caught up in the school's trivial matters and didn't return to China in time. It has nothing to do with you." He patted Min Chengzhou and forced a smile: "Eat dinner Let's eat and chat."

During the meal, Min Chengzhou was afraid of making him sad, so he didn't dare to mention Li Han again.Ji Zheng also avoided Li Han in order not to make him feel guilty.The two only talked about old things and each other's current life.

After eating, they walked out of the hot pot restaurant and found that it was already dark.Before leaving, Min Chengzhou hugged him, and expressed his joy for the reunion of his old friend, his sympathy for the suffering he suffered, and his memory of the deceased.

Although he just hugged Ji Zheng and didn't say anything, he believed that Ji Zheng understood everything.

Ji Zheng did understand everything, and he didn't say anything, just said: "Be careful on the road."

Watching Min Chengzhou drive away, Ji Zheng stood on the side of the road and spent a long time before returning to the car.

As soon as he entered the enclosed space, he could smell the hot pot smell that could not escape from his body.He still had an appointment at seven o'clock, but it was impossible for him to meet clients in this smoky suit, so he called Aunt Wu at home in advance and asked Aunt Wu to iron the suit that was going to be changed later.

On the way home to change clothes, he received a call from Xiao Jiang.

"Doctor Ji, Mr. Peng said that he has something to do in the evening, can we change the appointment time to tomorrow?"

Ji Zheng thought for a while and said, "Okay, before 10 o'clock tomorrow morning."

After hanging up Xiao Jiang's phone, Ji Zheng followed the trend and drove straight along this road. After driving for half an hour, he realized that he had left the city center and came to the Qijiang Bridge.

Weining City is facing the Qijiang River. The Qijiang Bridge was completed in 08 and has become a landmark building in Weining City.The bridge is entrenched on both sides of the river like a giant dragon, the dragon scales are shining silver in the moonlight, and the surging river is rushing peacefully under the bridge.

He has been walking for so many years, only the Qijiang Bridge is exactly the same as his memory.Even more spectacular and beautiful than back then.

At this time, it was completely dark, and there was a rumbling wind outside the car window, and there were street lamps on the side of the bridge. The cold and soft white light of the street lamps fell from the bridge deck into the dark river below the bridge like puddles of silver water.

Ji Zheng originally planned to cross the bridge slowly to take a look at the long-lost night scene.But halfway through the car, his plans were disrupted by a meow.

It was hot in summer, but the wind by the river was very cool. Ji Zheng lowered the windows of the car to let the wind blow, and the soft cat meowing drifted into the car with the wind from the river.He thought he heard it wrong, but soon he saw a skinny yellow civet cat lying in front of the bridge railing.

Ji Zheng parked the car on the side of the road, got out of the car and walked towards the civet cat, squatting in front of it.

The yellow civet cat is not afraid of people, it just curls up its head and refuses to look at people. It is only sieved by the river wind. The mottled yellow fur with white stripes on its body seems to have been plucked in half, revealing a piece of bright red flesh on its back.

Ji Zheng originally just got out of the car for a walk, but found a sick and thin wild cat that might be frozen to death here.His mood suddenly became a little complicated, and there were two options before him at this moment, either take the cat away and save its life.Either leave the cat alive or dead.

Before Li Han's accident, he didn't think he would be worried about the life and death of a wild cat, but now he does feel awed by the life of a wild cat.

His heart became harder and softer.

"Do you support it?"

Just as he was looking at the wild cat, he heard an indifferent male voice behind him.

Ji Zheng turned his head and saw a tall and straight young man standing on the side of the road, looking at him impatiently with his arms folded, holding a thin blanket in his arms.

The man was very young, but his face was too cold. He raised his chin slightly, and his handsome face glowed with a faint yellow warm light under the illumination of the street lamp.His hair is slightly longer, and the ends of the hair hang over the narrow and upturned eyes, making him look a bit sinister and handsome.

Ji Zheng looked at him, and then at the blanket he was holding in his arms, somehow he could see that if he abandoned this wild cat, the young man in front of him who looked unhealthy would use the blanket to carry it Picked up the wild cat and walked away.

Ji Zheng carefully hugged the cat in his arms, stood up and was about to speak, when he heard the laughing and shouting from a sports car parked not far away.

The sports car with the hood open, a man and a woman stood up from the car and shouted: "Young Master Yan, let's go!"

"Haha, Young Master Yan is hanging on to Kaizi!"

The young man raised his hand towards them, then looked back at Ji Zheng, the thin bangs on his forehead were constantly blown by the wind, stroking his eyebrows and eyelashes softly.

"Do you want to keep this cat?"

He looked at Ji Zheng and asked again, but the impatience in his eyes disappeared.

Ji Zheng also spared the politeness with him, and said concisely: "Nurture."

He looked at Ji Zheng for a while, then raised the corners of his thin lips to show a smile, took out something from his pants pocket, stepped forward and put it on the cat, and said: "If you change your mind, give me Call up."

Ji Zheng watched him walk towards the sports car on the side of the road, and when he opened the door to get in the car, he looked back at himself.

After he left, Ji Zheng picked up the thin card he put on the cat, only to find that it was a business card.

But this business card is a bit out of the ordinary. Most people print business cards and try to print their bluffing name on the card to enhance their identity, improve their sense of superiority, and finally achieve the effect of standing out from the crowd.

But this business card does not have any messy job titles printed, only a name, plus a line of contact information.

Yan Shen, 159817XXXXX.That's all there is to it on this business card.

Yan Shen, so that person is called Yan Shen.

Ji Zheng just glanced at the business card and wanted to throw it away, but there was no trash can on the bridge, so he had to put it in the pocket of his suit pants.

He wanted to stand by the bridge and watch the night view for a while, but the thin yellow civet cat in his arms couldn't withstand the wind from the river, so he hugged the cat and walked to the side of the road where he parked.

After walking a step or two, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He took out the cell phone with his left hand. When he saw the note he was calling, he paused and was stunned.

Caller ID - Xia Bingyang.
