soldiers in front

Bian Xiaoqu and Aunt Wu played until the early hours of the next day before returning to the hotel.

The hotel's business car slowly stopped at the entrance of the lobby. Before the car was stable, Bian Xiaoqu jumped out of the car and rushed to the hotel lobby with his backpack in his hands.Aunt Wu followed her and had no choice but to speed up her pace, telling her to slow down repeatedly.

The glass door in the lobby is automatically sensed. When Bian Xiaoqu ran to the door, the glass door just opened to both sides, and then seven or eight men and women in formal suits walked out.

"Ouch!"

Bian Xiaoqu was too fast to dodge in time, and collided head-on with the man walking in front.The man didn't avoid her, and his speed was so fast that Bian Xiaoqu fell to the ground, and his backpack flew to the side.

"Xiao Que! Are you not hurt?"

Aunt Wu hurriedly supported her, raised her head and said to the man who was indifferent when she bumped into someone, "What's the matter with you, you don't even know how to help when you bump into someone!"

Yan Shen lowered his eyes and cast a cold sideways glance at Bian Xiaoqu, who was clutching his knees. Still without saying anything, he kicked away the backpack that fell at his feet, and led the people away.

Aunt Wu looked at the backpack kicked away by him, she was dumbfounded: "Who is it! So rude!"

The hotel personnel came to pick up the backpack to appease Aunt Wu, checked Bian Xiaoqu's knee, and confirmed that she was only slightly scratched, so Aunt Wu took Bian Xiaoqu upstairs with confidence.

In the elevator, Aunt Wu talked about the arrogance and unreasonableness of the man just now, Bian Xiaoqu had forgotten about it, and was only concerned with checking some wild things she picked from the mountains in her backpack .

Back in the room, Bian Xiaoqu rushed to Ji Zheng's bedroom with his backpack in his hands: "Brother Ji, I found a Ganoderma lucidum! It's really Ganoderma lucidum!"

She pushed open the door, but saw that the bedroom was empty, the bedding on the bed was neatly folded, and Ji Zheng was not in the bedroom.

Aunt Wu came over and said to her, "Dr. Ji may be in the bathroom. You should go upstairs to take a shower and change your clothes."

Bian Xiaoqu handed her the backpack and trotted upstairs.

Aunt Wu habitually started to tidy up the living room, and took a set of used teacups on the table to the kitchen to wash. While washing the cups, she heard a cat meowing from the balcony.Ji Zheng had told her to close the French windows of the balcony tightly when there was no one in the room, so as to prevent the egg yolk from running to the balcony and falling, but the French windows were open at this time, and the kitten had probably already run to the balcony.

She wiped her hands quickly on the apron, trying to bring the kitten back from the balcony.When she walked to the balcony, she saw Ji Zheng lying on a recliner on the balcony, with the back of his left hand covering his eyes, as if he was sleeping.And the egg yolk was lying on his chest, his fist-sized orange head rested against Ji Zheng's chin, his two black bean-like eyes were open, and he even swept his tail when he saw Aunt Wu.

The weather is very good today, the bright sunshine leaked from the clouds and shone obliquely on the balcony, sprinkled Ji Zheng all over, Ji Zheng seemed to feel that the sun was too hot, so he turned his head to hide from the direction of the light, and put it on his eyes The back of the upper hand has not been put down.

In order not to wake him up, Aunt Wu walked over lightly and wanted to hug the egg yolk off him, but when she got closer, she found a large red stain on the collar of his white shirt. She was startled and pushed Ji Zheng away. shoulder: "Doctor Ji, why are you bleeding so much!"

Ji Zheng, who was in a light sleep, woke up immediately. Before he opened his eyes, his consciousness returned to the cage first.

He lay still on the recliner for a while, then hugged the kitten lying on his chest, then sat up slowly, and said, "It's not blood, it's red wine."

Hearing what he said, Aunt Wu could smell the strong smell of wine emanating from him, and there was a bottle of red wine and a square wine glass on the low table next to him. Red liquid remains.In her impression, Ji Zheng has never smoked or drank alcohol, let alone a drop of alcohol, what happened to him today?She has never seen Ji Zheng in such a...worried look.

Ji Zheng's neat and neat hair, which is always taken care of, is a little messy at this time, a few strands of forehead hair hang down from the sides and hang on the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, and the collar of the white shirt stained with large red wine stains is messy. The second shirt button was undone, and the third button was now undone, and the skin inside was also soaked in red wine.His face was very tired, even the edges of his lips were slightly pale, his glasses had been lost somewhere, and his shoulders, which were always straight and straight, had slumped down a little at this moment.If it wasn't for his face, Aunt Wu couldn't believe that the person in front of her was Ji Zheng.

Aunt Wu felt that he had encountered a very difficult or sad thing, but he had no one to tell, so the sadness in his heart was externalized through his body.

It must be very difficult for him.

Before Aunt Wu could conceive a word to comfort him, she saw Bian Xiaoqu running to the balcony.

"Brother Ji, look at the Ganoderma lucidum I picked up."

Bian Xiaoqu changed into a skirt, held a black and shiny wild ganoderma more than ten centimeters long and ran to Ji Zheng's side, which naturally stuck to his body.

When she came running, Ji Zheng freed his hand to button a shirt, pulled himself together and smiled, looked at the Ganoderma lucidum in her hand and said with a smile: "It's really Ganoderma lucidum, you picked it up?"

Bian Xiaoqu talked about the lucky experience of picking up this Ganoderma lucidum. After a while, he found that there were red wine stains on his clothes and he smelled of alcohol. He was surprised and said, "Brother Ji, have you been drinking?"

Ji Zheng looked at the young Ganoderma lucidum she brought back with his warm eyes, and said with a smile: "No, I met a friend here last night." After finishing speaking, he touched her hair gently, and said, "Go and wash, We'll go downstairs for breakfast later."

As soon as Bian Xiaoqu left, Aunt Wu also left, leaving Ji Zheng alone on the balcony again.

The forced smile on Ji Zheng's face disappeared. He sat on the deck chair and looked at the calmly shining golden sea under the balcony. His face was empty, as if he didn't even know where he was.

He sat on the balcony for a long time, the sun gradually rose, and the light became harsh, maybe Aunt Wu said something to Bian Xiaoqu, Bian Xiaoqu didn't bother him anymore, the room was quiet inside and outside.

In the silence, the vibrating sound of his mobile phone on the low table became very clear.

He didn't want to answer the phone, but when he saw that the caller ID was 'Xia Bingyang', he still answered it.

Xia Bingyang may have just woken up, and his voice is still tired, accompanied by the whirring sound of opening the refrigerator and searching for things in the refrigerator.

"Morning."

Xia Bingyang held the phone between his shoulders, picked up a carton of milk to check the expiration date on the bottom, and said to him with a smile.

Hearing his voice, the hard and cold skin on Ji Zheng's face suddenly cracked a line, a line that can let the sunlight lightly shine in.

He let out a breath slowly, and said softly, "Morning."

From just one word, Xia Bingyang immediately noticed that something was wrong with Ji Zheng's mood.He bumped the refrigerator door with his shoulder and closed it, then put the milk on the counter, bent down and supported the glazed counter with his hands and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Although he couldn't see Ji Zheng's face, he could tell from Ji Zheng's lifeless and three-dimensional voice that Ji Zheng's current state must be extremely exhausted and helpless.

Ji Zheng could have continued to hold on, but when he heard Xia Bingyang's voice, all his strength dragged him into the sea like a tide, and his body sank slowly in the sea.Feeling more tired than ever, and more relaxed than ever.

"Tired," he said.

Saying this word, a corner of the extremely hard copper wall and iron wall in his heart suddenly opened, and the bad emotions blocked in his body turned into a trickle and flowed out along the broken corner.

Xia Bingyang heard the words and wanted to ask him if something happened recently, but he didn't ask because he knew that Ji Zheng was very strong and never complained to others.So what he asked was, "Is there something you want to say to me?"

Ji Zheng really wanted to say something to him, but he didn't know where to start, and it was a troublesome thing to follow the source, and now he was so tired that he didn't even have the ability to think, so he didn't want to say anything.It was he who felt that he had to say something to Xia Bingyang, otherwise he would be very sad, so he whispered: "Bingyang, I have done a lot of things."

Xia Bingyang grasped his crux in an instant, and asked, "Is this what you want to do?"

Ji Zheng said: "No, but I have to do it."

Doing something you don't want to do is really exhausting.

Xia Bingyang seemed to understand the problem, and asked again: "Is it a good thing?"

Is it a good thing?

This is the second time Xia Bingyang asked him this question. This time Ji Zheng also asked himself in his heart, is what he is doing and what he has done a good thing?

He pondered for a long time before saying, "I don't know."

"So... have you finished?"

"No, it's just the beginning."

Xia Bingyang felt that he understood that Ji Zheng was doing something he didn't want to do but had to do. This matter was pressing in his heart, maybe it wasn't just this thing that was pressing in his heart, maybe it was something that was pressing in his heart. Everything is related to this matter.In short, Ji Zheng has something hidden in his heart, it is hidden very deep, it is a secret, and no one will know.

Xia Bingyang wanted to know, but he knew very well that he couldn't know, and he also knew that what Ji Zheng needed now was not to get to the bottom of it, but to get rid of the exhaustion accumulated in his mind as soon as possible.So instead of pressing further, he just said, "If you want to tell me, I'm listening."

Ji Zheng laughed very hard, and said: "You better not know, otherwise you will hate me very much."

The balcony did not draw the curtains, and the morning sunlight slowly moved from the east to the west, and sprinkled on the countertop through the floor-to-ceiling windows, leaving a streak of light on Xia Bingyang's face.Xia Bingyang was stung by the light, then turned his head to look at the dimly lit sky outside the window, raised the corners of his lips sadly, and said softly: "How could I hate you."

I like you so much, how can I hate you.

Ji Zheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this sentence: "Do you really not hate me?"

Xia Bingyang didn't answer in a hurry, he curled up his lips slyly, and made a protracted 'hmm' sound as if he was thinking about it.

Ji Zheng thought that his answer was not certain, so he couldn't help clenching his phone nervously, feeling uneasy.

Xia Bingyang whetted his appetite before asking back, "Is it important to you whether I hate you or not?"

Ji Zheng said without hesitation: "Yes, it is very important."

Xia Bingyang raised his eyebrows, and let out a long "oh" with a trailing sound, then lowered his head and smiled, and said, "Let's meet, as soon as possible."

Meeting him seems to be an agreement, and this agreement is the only thing worth looking forward to in his life for Ji Zheng at this time, making him feel that there is not only a boundless swamp around him, but also a piece of light outside the swamp.Ji Zheng raised his head and looked at the scorching and shining sun on the sea surface, it seemed that the whole sea was on fire, and the burning sea water filled his eyes, slowly melting the cold color in his eyes, his eyes His eyes became calm and gentle again, and he was caught by the sea that could not be stirred up by the wind.

Xia Bingyang waited for a while before hearing him say: "Okay."

Xia Bingyang frowned, dissatisfied: "That's it?"

Ji Zheng didn't understand: "What?"

Xia Bingyang pretended to be wronged, and said with a low 'hum' before saying: "The last time we met, you were very cold to me."

Ji Zheng seriously thought about it for a moment, and asked seriously: "Is there any?"

Xia Bingyang bent down and lay on the glazed table, slowly turning a carton of milk out of the refrigerator, with a sly and smart expression, but his tone was pretending to be sad and wronged: "Yes, you ignore me, you know how much I am. Are you sad?"

Ji Zheng thought about it seriously for a while, and finally felt that he was wronged. He didn't deliberately neglect Xia Bingyang, but he was too nervous to act rashly towards Xia Bingyang.

He propped his forehead and smiled helplessly and flatteringly: "I didn't deliberately ignore you."

Xia Bingyang said: "You do, you don't even give me a hug."

Ji Zheng choked, and suddenly remembered the scene where Xia Bingyang suddenly hugged him in the lobby of the police station. Thinking about it now, his heart was still a little turbulent, and he calmed down and said, "Didn't you... hugged him later?"

Xia Bingyang was frank and upright: "That doesn't count, you didn't take the initiative." He paused for a while, and said the next very unserious thing very seriously, and said righteously: "So next time we meet, you must Make it up to me."

Ji Zheng seems to know what he wants, but he can't be so frank and fearless to him: "How do you want me to make up for it?"

Xia Bingyang was secretly happy, but his tone was still calm: "I said, you just do it?"

"Ah."

Xia Bingyang raised his eyebrows, and there was a glamorous charm of profligacy and purity in the young and handsome eyes: "Then you hug me."

Ji Zheng was stunned for a moment, his first reaction was that he used the wrong word, and then he felt that he might have made a mistake, what Xia Bingyang wanted from him should be a hug.

Xia Bingyang snickered on the other side of the phone, smiling like a wicked young man who successfully molested a good woman, and asked in a pretended disappointment, "Is it not possible?"

It is naturally impossible for Ji Zheng to ask him if there is any deep meaning in this sentence, so he can barely stabilize his disturbed mood, and calmly said: "If you want, of course you can."

Xia Bingyang deliberately lowered his voice, and said, "I want it, I want it very much."

I don't know if the sun is too strong, but Ji Zheng's whole body is a little itchy and hot, and even a thin layer of sweat oozes from his forehead.He unbuttoned two shirt buttons, tried his best to shield Xia Bingyang's words of "want" that kept echoing in his ears, and in order to avoid further losing his composure, he quickly changed the subject and talked with him about the case that had been shelved for a long time .

After teasing|playing with Ji Zheng, Xia Bingyang is happy physically and mentally, and can even drink a whole glass of milk that he usually hates to drink in one go.After drinking the milk, he put the cup on the glazed table and said, "I have found a clue."

"What clue?"

"The abducted boy is indeed from Bailu Town, and the one who sold him to the trafficker is a local from Bailu Town."

Ji Zheng straightened his expression in an instant: "Who is it?"

Xia Bingyang said: "A man named Sun Ji. But this clue is useless to me."

"why?"

"Because he had a car accident on August 12, 8 and died in the evening."

Ji Zheng immediately grasped the point: "Is it today?"

Xia Bingyang returned to the desktop of the mobile phone, called up a file in the mobile phone, and said: "The time of death on his death certificate is [-]:[-] in the evening, and the time he was sent to the county hospital was around [-]:[-] noon."

Ji Zheng looked at his watch: "It's [-]:[-] in the morning, and there are still about five hours before his car accident."

Xia Bingyang said solemnly: "Yes, so I want you to help find Sun Ji before he got into a car accident, and ask him about the boy's identity. And I suspect that Qin Lisi's matter has something to do with him."

Ji Zheng stood up and walked to the living room. Before he took two steps, he felt dizzy after a hangover. He held his forehead for a while and said, "Okay, I'm leaving now."

"I have asked people to find out all his residential address and activity range six years ago, please remember."

Ji Zheng found a pen and paper, and wrote down Sun Ji's address and the places he frequented.Then he walked into the bathroom, closed the bathroom sliding door behind his back, and unbuttoned his shirt with one free hand, saying, "I'll let you know as soon as I get the news."

Xia Bingyang gave an 'um', but didn't hang up the phone, as if he still had something to say to him.

Ji Zheng noticed it and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Xia Bingyang suddenly sighed and said, "Protect yourself and be safe."

Ji Zheng smiled and said: "Okay, wait for my news."
