"Palace of palaces."
"I heard that his family is in the chemical industry."
"My cousin's family passed away when he was very young."
"I hate fire."
When Ren Yi searched for the Baosheng chemical factory explosion on the Internet, these words he had heard kept floating in his mind.
Back then, the Internet was not yet developed, and there was not much information that could be found, but it was enough to show the sensation and horror of the accident. In fact, Ren Yi did not need to search the Internet. Analysis, but now he needs to understand an angle that he has not paid attention to before.
After confirming some information, Ren Yi called Fu Kai and asked him to check the household registration information for him.
Fu Kai's reply confirmed Ren Yi's conjecture.
Gong Mingyu, chairman of the Baosheng Chemical Plant Group that exploded 18 years ago, is Gong Yingxian's father.
Suddenly, a voice echoed in Ren Yi's mind, saying the phrase "I hate fire" over and over again, it was Gong Yingxian's cold and gorgeous voice. At that time, he thought that Gong Yingxian was trying to anger him on purpose. It turned out that behind those simple four words, there was such a tragedy.
A child who is only six years old lost his home and family overnight, or in such a tragic way, how many people can bear such an accident? He will become what he is now, and it all makes sense.
Ren Yi felt very uncomfortable. He had seen too many fires, and he knew how cruel fire would leave people, whether it was physical or psychological, just like the burn marks were completely irreversible, and its damage would last a lifetime. .
In what mood did Gong Yingxian become a police officer and investigate the fire case? When he entered the ruins riddled with holes after being burned by the fire, what was he thinking in his heart? Is it... is it forced to reminisce about the past over and over again
Ren Yi didn't dare to think about it anymore, his chest was tight and his brows were tightly knit.
From his father being trapped for eight days and seven nights in the rescue of the chemical plant, to his father rescued Gong Yingxian from the fire with his own hands, and then to the meeting and cooperation between the two, in the dark, maybe there is a hand of fate that will bring the future to life. They get involved.
As a person who aspired to be a firefighter since he was a child, Ren Yi was born with a sense of mission of "rescue". For Gong Yingxian, perhaps participating in the investigation of fire cases is his own salvation and the combination of their fates. , should be meaningful, such as the case of the fourth perspective, is the meaning.
Ren Yi took out his mobile phone and silently looked at the message that Gong Yingxian sent him.
thanks.
He called Gong Yingxian.
After the call was connected, Ren Yi whispered, "Where are you?"
"Branch, what's the matter?"
"I have something to tell you face to face."
"I'm going home soon."
"Wait for me, I'll go there now, it's very close."
Gong Yingxian hesitated for a moment: "See you in the parking lot."
Ren Yi greeted his father, went downstairs, and drove to the Hongwu branch.
Entering the underground parking lot, Ren Yi soon saw the Wrangler with the door open, and Gong Yingxian was sitting in the car reading documents.
Ren Yi got out of the car.
Gong Yingxian looked up at him, put down the documents, and got out of the car: "Is there something wrong?"
Ren Yi took a deep breath: "Dr. Gong, we can't give up yet."
Gong Yingxian frowned, with incomprehensible thoughts flickering in his eyes.
"The case of the fourth perspective. Unless we can prove that Cai Wan is really not an accomplice, we can't just give up, and we can't let any criminal who might set fire to so many people die." Ren Yi's chest heaved vigorously, "Isn't this Is that what you mean by being a police officer?"
Gong Yingxian narrowed his eyes: "What are you talking about?"
"I asked you why you became a police officer, but you didn't answer, but the purpose of being a police officer is to eliminate violence and bring peace to the people." Ren Yi stared deeply at Gong Yingxian, "Intuition and guessing cannot be used as law, but they can be The reason we continue to investigate."
Gong Yingxian pursed her lips: "Your work is over, you don't need to worry about the rest."
"You really just gave up like that? Even if the case is closed, as long as we can find new evidence, we can still prosecute her. You don't want to let an arsonist go!"
"It has nothing to do with you, let's go back." Gong Yingxian turned around and was about to get back into the car.
Ren Yi strode forward and grabbed Gong Yingxian's shoulder.
Gong Yingxian's eyes flashed, he bent down suddenly, turned around, and clasped Ren Yi's wrist with one hand. In the blink of an eye, he had already circled behind Ren Yi, and with a catch, he twisted Ren Yi's arm behind his back , Slamming the person on the car door.
Ren Yi let out a cry of pain and struggled vigorously, but Gong Yingxian's strength was frightening, and the hand that restrained him remained motionless. He really couldn't imagine how such a gentle and dignified appearance of Gong Yingxian could have such brutal strength , he scolded: "Damn, let me go."
Gong Yingxian said coldly in Ren Yi's ear: "I told you not to touch me casually." He let go of his hand, took a step back, lowered his head and straightened his clothes.
Ren Yi shook his sore wrist, just about to get angry, when he thought of Gong Yingxian's life experience, his heart softened again, he snorted coldly: "I don't know as much as you, it seems... In short, you still don't want to investigate."
Gong Yingxian picked up the information on the driver's seat and handed it to Ren Yi.
Ren Yi flipped through it casually. It was Gong Yingxian's investigation of Cai Wan's father and daughter and related personnel. There was even information from many years ago. He was overjoyed: "I knew you would not give up."
Gong Yingxian said: "You are not a policeman, your job is over, there is no need to participate anymore."
"Are you kidding? I have participated so much. Can I just let it go? I put out the fire and saved many people. I just want to give the victims and their families a complete explanation, so that the evildoers People pay the price they deserve. Besides, the branch office will not give you police and coordination support for the case that has been closed. Don't you need help? "
Gong Yingxian stared straight at Ren Yi: "Are you really willing to help?"
"Otherwise, why would I come to you at night, I would sacrifice my private vacation to help you, and you still don't appreciate it?" Ren Yi flicked his wrist, "This is considered a work-related injury."
Gong Yingxian was silent for a while: "Okay, I will find you if necessary."
Ren Yi twitched the corner of his mouth: "What should you say now?"
"Say what?"
Ren Yi shook the phone: "These two words, text messages to say that you are insincere, it's better to be face to face."
Gong Yingxian sneered, "Get out of the way."
"Not these two."
Gong Yingxian got into the car straight away and closed the door.
Ren Yi grabbed the side mirror and knocked on the car glass.
Gong Yingxian had no choice but to lower the car window and squint at him.
Ren Yi grinned: "You're welcome."
Gong Yingxian was slightly stunned, staring at Ren Yi's starry eyes without blinking, feeling lost in thought for a moment.
"But you have to pay for work-related injuries. Treat me to a meal."
"Is your memory so bad? I don't eat with people."
"What are you being hypocritical about? You have already had two meals with me, one in your car and one at your house." Ren Yi said, "You are embarrassed to thank me in person, it is normal social interaction to invite me to a meal Etiquette. I know you don't eat, so you can watch me eat at the head office."
Gong Yingxian looked at his watch and hesitated.
"Just tell me what you have checked." Ren Yi smiled, "There is a crayfish nearby. It is delicious, but it is quite expensive. I am not willing to eat it. I can eat it if you pay for it." Happy."
Gong Yingxian raised the car window and said, "Send the shop name to my phone."
----
Gong Yingxian arrived at the restaurant one step ahead of Ren Yi. He stood in front of the store with tacky neon lights, his face was ashen, his feet seemed to have taken root, motionless.
When Ren Yi got out of the car, he saw Gong Yingxian nailed to the door of the store: "Why don't you go in? There is an air conditioner inside."
"It's so dirty." Gong Yingxian glared at Ren Yi, "You must eat in this kind of place?"
"It's delicious. Let me tell you, young master, why don't you eat in the restaurant?" Ren Yi couldn't help swallowing as he smelled the scent wafting from the restaurant.
"I've never eaten in such a dirty restaurant."
"It's okay, you don't eat anyway, you just go in and sit with me."
Gong Yingxian gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind, she turned and walked towards her car.
"You really want to go." Ren Yi curled his lips, "There is no sincerity in thanking people."
Gong Yingxian didn't go to drive, but opened the trunk, and took out the tablecloth and disinfectant from inside.
Ren Yi suppressed a smile: "You didn't have so many scruples when you investigated the case."
"It's out of necessity." Gong Yingxian glared at Ren Yi again, then took a deep breath and walked into the restaurant.
They came at a very coincidental time, just after dinner and supper hadn't started yet, there weren't many people, and if it was time for dinner, they would have to line up.
Ren Yi asked for a box.
After entering the private room, before the waiter started to speak, Gong Yingxian saw Gong Yingxian walking around the table, chose a seat by the window, took out the disinfectant and started spraying, and sprayed out half of the bottle in one go.
The waiter was dumbfounded.
Ren Yi said: "Don't bother with him, I'll order."
After spraying the disinfectant, Gong Yingxian spread the disposable tablecloths on the chair and the table respectively, and then carefully sat down.
"Hey, you really don't want to eat it, it's really delicious." Ren Yi asked.
Gong Yingxian said angrily, "I won't eat."
"Then do this first." Ren Yi sat next to Gong Yingxian, watching Gong Yingxian sitting upright, staring at the surroundings non-stop, pitiful and funny.
"Come on, let's talk about the case."
Gong Yingxian shared with Ren Yi the information he had found so far, mainly about the complicated social relationship between Cai Wan and his daughter and their recent movements. There may be clues to help them find the money that may or may not exist. money, or other evidence.
The two chatted for a while, and the waiter began to serve the food, and immediately served four plates of crayfish with four flavors.
Gong Yingxian frowned: "Have you finished eating?"
"What's this?" Ren Yi licked his lips, put on his gloves, and began to peel the shrimp, screaming as he peeled, "Wow, it's so hot."
After peeling off a particularly complete and beautiful one, Ren Yi shook it in front of Gong Yingxian's eyes: "You really don't want to eat it?"
Gong Yingxian looked away: "Take it away."
Ren Yi put it into his mouth, and praised, "It's delicious."
Gong Yingxian looked at Ren Yi quietly, thinking, how could he eat so deliciously
"Dr. Gong, you said that you don't eat outside food, and you don't eat hot food. Isn't there very little you can eat?" Ren Yi said, "You must think that I eat these things are unhealthy, I think you eat the best food." It’s unhealthy, eating cold meals all day long.”
"I just don't eat too hot food. I can eat warm food. My diet is nutritionally balanced." Gong Yingxian snorted coldly, "And it's clean."
Ren Yi smiled: "Aren't you tired from living?"
"Easyness is not the greatest meaning of life."
"Okay, okay." Ren Yi held up his drink, "Come on, touch one? You always drink water." He pointed to the mineral water in front of Gong Yingxian.
Gong Yingxian hesitated for a moment, unscrewed the bottle cap, and clinked glasses with Ren Yi.
"This cup is to celebrate our happy cooperation, and to wish future success."
The two plastic bottles collided with each other, making a dull sound, but both of them were touched. His "cooperation" is about punishing evil and promoting good, and judicial justice. They must succeed.
One is eating, the other is watching, such a strange meal is surprisingly harmonious.
