“It’s best not to leave Jianning recently. Please cooperate with our investigation as much as possible. At the same time, we will also pay attention to protecting your safety. Needless to say, I’m really sorry, Mr. Yan, you know this is all going. Program…”
The iron door slammed shut behind him, and echoes lingered in the empty corridor for a long time.
Yan Xiu slowly walked towards the end. By the window sill in front of the corridor, Lu Ju’s backlit figure held his hands behind his back, looking at the boundless sea of gray clouds at the end of the sky.
“Come out,” heard the footsteps and stopped, Lu Ju said casually: “Look at your bad luck, go home and take a bath with grapefruit leaves!”
Yan Xiu also wore the same attire on the day he was arrested, a black slim-fitting jacket and shirt, jeans of the same color and high-top short boots. The shirt was already wrinkled, but it didn’t look sloppy. On the contrary, the black sword eyebrows and eyes were somewhat vicissitudes and depression in line with his age.
“Is the old party awake?” he asked.
Lu Ju did not answer.
“…” Yan Xiu exhaled and said: “I want to see Qin Chuan.”
Lu Ju raised his hand and looked at his watch: “Okay, I will arrange you to meet in the interrogation room in half an hour. Within this half an hour, you can take a shower and change clothes, smoke a cigarette and eat a meal, or… …” He pointed to the other side of the road through the glass window and said meaningfully: “Look at how well your favorite car is repaired.”
Outside the gate of the city bureau, a new shiny silver-gray G65 parked quietly on the side of the street, attracting pedestrians to look back.
A slight smile finally appeared in Yan Xi’s eyes.
·
The G65 flashing light unlocked, and he was leaning on the back seat wearing a mask and playing online chess while drinking tea in comfort. Jiang Ting raised his head and saw Yan Xiu wrapped in a cold wind and got into the car, whistling to the ground. Close the door.
“Yo, it’s coming out.” Jiang Ting exited the game: “I bought you grapefruit leaves…Um!”
Yan Xi stretched out his hand and hugged him into his arms, pulled off the mask, and lowered his head to kiss.
It’s like treating the heart that fell back into the chest cavity, the lost treasure, the faintly shiny pearl in the dimly lit place; Yan Xi half pressed Jiang Ting on the spacious and soft back seat, from the lips and tongue to the tip of the nose, from the delicate and cold His skin kissed Yu’s unhealed scar, and the fiery breath penetrated the blood vessels, making people tremble in the ice and snow.
“Thank you.” Yan Xiu buried his face in Jiang Ting’s neck and muttered: “Thank you.”
Jiang Ting seemed a little funny: “Thank you?”
——Thank you for being there, at least until the last day, and you are standing by my side.
“It’s nothing, thank you for the bowl of pork and chive dumplings that you sent me last night. The F-31 has become a **** China No.8.” Yan Xi stopped Jiang in a single-sided video car indiscriminately. In front of the window, he said unreasonably: “Don’t move to make me stand up, don’t move, comfort and comfort my injured body and broken heart…”
“It was me who was injured physically, and it was boiled vegetables!”
“Where are you injured, don’t you just face it? It doesn’t matter that I am responsible, even if the picture is broken, I don’t dislike you. The diamond ring wedding and honeymoon team is absolutely not lacking. You can just ask for the price as the gift…”
“Deputy Yan Detachment!” Jiang Ting was stunned by his two wrists. “Wake up, here is the entrance of the Municipal Bureau!”
“It’s okay, no one is watching us. There are no cases at noon, everyone has slipped away. If anyone sees me, I will say you are my little Internet celebrity.” Yan Xi sighed: “You see I’m thin, I must not have a good meal, this waist and thigh…”
Dangdangdang!
The window of the car was retaken a few times, and Yan Xiu turned her head, Han Xiaomei’s innocent face was leaning outside the car, a pair of round and big eyes flashed.
Yan Xiu: “…”
Yan Xiu lowered the car window: “What are you doing?”
“Sister Meimei Meimei said that you definitely didn’t have a meal when you just got out of jail and asked me to send a lunch box…”
The mosaic-level picture in Han Xiaomei’s brain has been madly spinning out of the atmosphere, turning into fireworks to illuminate the entire Milky Way, but the fact is that she is lying by the car door and dare not even look inside. Yan Xiu raised his eyebrows, took the lunch box through the car window, and opened it in the enticing fragrance.
Bitter melon fried pork, cold bitter gourd, bitter gourd egg drop soup.
“…clearing heat, detoxifying and reducing irritability, it’s good.” Yan Xi patted Han Xiaomei on the shoulder, and persuaded her: “I think you are a purely talented criminal policeman, or you should resign and go to Yang Mei’s current KTV girl. Forget it, what do you think?”
Han Xiaomei: “…”
Yan Xi drove Han Xiaomei back to work and sat in the car for a bitter gourd dinner. Yang Mei didn’t ask Han Xiaomei to order a particularly expensive takeaway. It was ordinary home-cooked food from a roadside restaurant, but he didn’t feel bitter. He finished the meal alone, lighted a cigarette, and leaned against the dermis. On the back seat, he let out a sigh of relief.
“I just squatted in the city bureau for a few days, so why are you so tired,” Yan Xiu muttered, “Is it really because of your age?”
Jiang stopped by his side, playing the chess that was interrupted just now, and said casually: “So a man has to serve his old age after thirty. Don’t treat yourself as a young man who stays in ambush for a few days and nights. It’s still Shenzhou No. 8, I think your Tiangong No. 1 is about the same.”
“…” Yan Xiu immediately tittered: “Tiangong-1 can also make you live and die, don’t believe me try tonight?”
Jiang Ting raised his hand to beg for mercy: “It’s OK, it’s OK…”
Yan Xi gave up now, leaning in the backrest and smoking a cigarette. His eyes were lost and there was no focus. After a while, he said softly: “Why is it him?”
“It’s better than Lu Ju.”
Jiang Ting was so sensible in this regard that he almost abandoned his emotions, Yan Xiu took a breath and tried to express his emotions: “No, in fact, no matter who I find out, I won’t feel good, even if I finally find out that it is Fang Zhenghong. I…do you understand that feeling? It has nothing to do with personal grievances or collective honor, but it’s been more than ten years…”
He shook his head, thinking about the situation of the Gongzhou Municipal Bureau and the relationship with colleagues who were ambushing Jiang Ting on all sides. He felt that he had said too much.
“This is normal,” he suddenly heard Jiang Ting say a moment later.
Yan Xi turned his head while holding the cigarette.
“The journey of criminal investigation, drug control, anti-smuggling, counter-terrorism, and even the entire public safety gate is long, difficult and endless. Once you set foot on it, it is difficult to turn back. Sometimes even resignation or retirement cannot take this road out of life. Li. After all, there are only a few people who can wear the national flag to the end of their lives. More people leave halfway, get lost, or get lost and step into the side road, and can no longer fight together. Yan Xiu, we must all learn to accept. “
Jiang Ting’s face was not clear in the white mist. He seemed to smile in the dimness, and said in a low voice, “All battlefields are a contest between faith and oneself at the end. Those who accept this will be better off. .”
The light from the cigarette **** suddenly went out, reflected in Yan Xi’s dark eyes, he sighed almost silently for a while, and opened his hand.
Jiang Ting gave him a strong hug.
·
The door of the interrogation room opened, and a strip of light extended into the dark, Qin Chuan raised his head.
Yan Xi walked into the room with the smell of smoke, sat at the interrogation table, and the police closed the door behind him.
Neither of them spoke first, so they looked at each other face to face. The cold air floats slowly like a semi-fluid, covering the walls, tables and chairs, and even the handcuffs with a layer of green ash, as if paper soaked in cold water covers a person’s mouth and nose layer by layer from the void.
“Is there any smoke?” Qin Chuan finally asked hoarsely.
The police outside the door moved and seemed to want to stop it, but Yan Xiu had already thrown a whole box of cigarettes on the table, and at the same time lit one and passed it.
Qin Chuan smiled and said: “Thank you.”
The star of flame finally brought the illusory temperature, Yan Xiu stared at Qin Chuan’s face, and slowly asked: “Should I still thank you? I never seriously thought about killing it. In the end Or does it give me one percent chance of survival?”
“It depends on what you think.” Qin Chuan burst into laughter, and then asked, “What do you think?”
“…” Yan Xiu said, “I don’t know. I am more shocked that Yue Guangping is your father.”
Qin Chuan raised his eyebrows.
“We two have known each other for more than ten years, and today I know who your father is, how your mother left, and the fact that you knew the king of spades when you were in school. I think there are still many secrets that I don’t know. , But it’s very important to you, but it’s too late, either for you or for me.”
Yan Xiu also took out a cigarette, and the light blue nicotine scent slowly spiraled upward.
“How should I put it,” he said, “maybe the three most helpless words in life are ‘too late’. It’s a pity that I know it’s too late.”
Qin Chuan seemed to want to say something, but he closed his mouth before exiting, and asked with a smile: “Do you remember the first time we participated in the on-site operation?”
“The first few police cars went around the casino. Our two trainee policemen lay in ambush at the back door. We thought it was all right, but suddenly a few thugs popped out, and the time when the **** guys copied them?”
“Yes, at that time, I thought it was definitely going to be cold. Unexpectedly, your first reaction was to kick me out and shout:’I’m here to block, you go and call for reinforcements!’…”
Yan Xiu laughed: “But you didn’t run, we two have done a good job together.”
“Run a fart, your foot almost kicked me out of a lumbar disc protrusion, and then I said, before the battle started, I was almost under my own iron hooves. If you want to be honored, who will pay? My medical expenses.” Qin Chuan shook his head and sighed: “It’s the first time you went to sweep pornography. Your kid went the wrong way. We both went around for 20 minutes before coming back. In the end, Deputy Director Wei didn’t believe it. We didn’t go to prostitutes together…”
“It was Team Yu who gave a relief, saying,’I believe we shouldn’t have only twenty minutes for the boys in the game’, and finally had to pay a fine. Fuck,” Yan Xi said with emotion, holding his forehead.” It was really embarrassing that time. Why did Deputy Bureau Wei not believe us? It was a double insult to aesthetic taste and personal ability.”
Qin Chuan fluttered, and Yan Xiu also laughed.
The guards outside the door couldn’t hear clearly, and couldn’t help but probe their heads. Perhaps it was strange that they didn’t even fight inside.
“Yan Xiu,” Qin Chuan finally stopped laughing, and looked at him deeply: “I have known you all these years, working in the city bureau, this is the most memorable time in my life. If there is a regret in life that it is too late to understand, then the regret should be mine and it has nothing to do with you.”
“I used to really think of you as a brother.”
The two of them have met in the interrogation room many times, but they sat side by side from beginning to end, never facing each other as they are now, separated by a few decades, maybe even between life and death. distance.
Yan Xiu’s throat slides up and down, saying: “…I used to be too.”
The iron door slammed open, and two police officers on duty walked in and nodded politely at Yan Xiu: “I’m sorry, Mr. Yan, it’s time.”
Qin Chuan stood up, Yan Xiu also got up, suddenly couldn’t help: “Wait!”
The police crouched for a while.
Yan Xi took out his mobile phone, opened the photo album, and called up the picture of the trench coat suit that he took at Yue Guangping’s house: “This is what we found in your father’s wardrobe. According to the date, it should be the end of the year before It’s a present for your 30th birthday.”
Qin Chuan stared at the phone screen motionlessly, saying nothing.
“Do you know why he dismantled all the packaging boxes and threw them away, so you hang them up in sets like this?”
“…”
“Because of this,” Yan Xiu’s voice was a bit astringent: “He can look at the hanger and imagine what it looks like when you put it on.”
Qin Chuan raised his head vigorously, closed his eyes and took a breath. The surroundings were very quiet, and the bleak light and shadows from the iron windows reflected on his shiny lenses. He couldn’t see what his expression was at the moment. After a while, he looked at Yan Xiu again and said, “Thank you for telling me this.” /
The policeman looked at his watch: “It’s really time to go…”
Qin Chuan staggered for a while, walked around the iron table, and suddenly paused when passing by Yan Xiu. The police didn’t have time to stop him, he slightly stuck to Yan Xiu’s ear and whispered: “When we are reading suspense novels, we follow the protagonist to suspect all possible criminals, and bring the bad guys to justice after layering. But why have we never doubted the protagonist?”
Yan Xi was taken aback.
“If the ‘bad guy’ is the protagonist, what will be the ending of the story?”
Yan Xiu’s pupils dilated sharply, and suddenly looked up, but Qin Chuan smiled at him, and then walked out of the interrogation room step by step under the **** of the two policemen.
·
Walking out of the city bureau building, the smell of haze was blown away by the wind, traffic lights on the street flashed and changed, cars whistled and shuttled, and countless small restaurants exuded the smell of cooking in the flow of people returning home from get off work. It was already cold, Yan Xiu stood on the steps and exhaled a breath of white gas, and the slight heat floated in the air in a flash.
Qin Chuan’s last words were still lingering in his head, Yan Xi rubbed his brows with his thumb joints, and suddenly only heard a short-beep!
Across the street in the distance, G65 honked his horn, and then Jiang Ting poked out the car window and waved to him.
Time to go home.
Suddenly, there was endless warmth in Yan Xi’s heart, and a smile didn’t consciously appeared in his eyes. After squeezing out the cigarette butts, he walked toward the road in the wind.
At this moment, the phone rang in his pocket, and he heard a new text message from the ringtone. Yan Xiu took a look and removed the miscellaneous greetings from various parties after he was released. The sender of the latest unread text message is Lu Ju, with only a few short words:
[Lao Fang is out of danger. 】
At that moment, Yan Xiu’s internal organs were all loose, and he couldn’t help but stand still, and he was ready to reply Lu Ju’s three words “great”. Unexpectedly, he just clicked the reply box, and before he started typing, suddenly the phone showed another WeChat message.
“?”
Yan Xiu clicked and swiped it easily. He didn’t understand at first, and then suddenly realized something, his casual expression froze frozen–
The traffic lights changed again, the crowd of cars and people began to move, and the noise filled with the neon lights that lit up one after another. G65 not far away was still parked in the shade of the trees, making a dull start-up noise.
There are dense gray clouds under the sky, and humidity is spreading from the corners of the huge city.
The cold wind of early winter engulfed the dust and dead leaves, making a sharp whimper, spinning straight to the sky.
