Yu Hao vaguely felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere. It seemed that there was a secret rivalry between Lin Ze and Huang Ting, and Lin Ze was not in a good mood today, and his attitude was much more serious. Situ Ye saw Yu Hao glance at Lin Ze, so he touched him with his elbow and said, "You are busy with yourself."
At 5:20, Yu Hao packaged the pictures and sent them to the cloud, put away the computer, went out with Huang Ting, and said goodbye to them.
"Call me anytime if you have anything." Before going out, Lin Zebi made a gesture.
"Okay." Yu Hao knew what Lin Zete said to Huang Ting.
A motorcycle was parked outside the office, and Huang Ting handed Yu Hao the helmet.
"My name is Zhou Sheng?" Yu Hao said.
"Zhou Sheng is on a business trip," Huang Ting replied, "not in Beijing for two days."
Yu Hao: "..."
Yu Hao looked at Huang Ting, Huang Ting motioned, "Let's go?"
Yu Hao looked down at his phone, Zhou Sheng sent him a message: [Wife, I'm going to Baoding on a business trip for two days to help investigate an economic dispute, and I'll be back on the ninth night.]
"What time is it today?" Yu Hao said.
"The seventh day, what's the matter?" Huang Ting saw that Yu Hao didn't get in the car, so he just waited.
Yu Hao asked suspiciously, "Where do you want to take me?"
Yu Hao couldn't see Huang Ting's expression in the helmet, but he could see the smile in his eyes. Huang Ting said, "Are you afraid that I will lock you up?"
Yu Hao knew that it shouldn't be. Unless the central government directly ordered it, Lin Ze was not afraid of anything. If he really wanted to shut him up, Qinghua Times would not let Huang Ting go so easily. In just a short while, Yu Hao remembered Zhou Sheng's words again. There were some things in his plan that required Yu Hao's cooperation without knowing it, in order to deceive this whole group of people.
"Okay," Yu Hao replied, putting on his helmet and stepping into the back seat of Huang Ting's motorcycle.
"When will Liqun come to Beijing?" Huang Ting asked with his steady driving skills.
Yu Hao replied, "Tomorrow night."
Huang Ting said: "Pay attention to safety."
"I've been paying attention." Yu Hao said.
"This is to imply that you hold me tight." Huang Ting said, "I'm afraid Zhou Sheng will be jealous? It doesn't matter that he can't see the surveillance cameras at the intersection."
Yu Hao wanted to sit up straight, but Huang Ting's car had to bend over slightly. If Yu Hao sat up straight, the wind would blow, so he had to bend down slightly and hold Huang Ting's waist for a while. Huang Ting turned a few roads, chose a spacious one, and increased his speed, seeing that he was planning to leave Beijing.
"Nicky didn't find you?" Huang Ting said.
Huang Ting's windbreaker was buttoned tightly, showing a slim waistline, and his legs were straight. A few years ago, he saw him in Nanlu. Yu Hao didn't look at him carefully. He felt that he had lost a lot of weight since he came to Beijing, and he had been sitting in the office for a long time. , the skin is also much whiter.
"We made an appointment to have dinner together in a few days." Yu Hao said.
"Xiaoou is going too?" Huang Ting asked casually again, "When will your party be able to take care of the civil servants who wake up early in the dark?"
Yu Hao: "I called you several times, but you didn't come by yourself."
Huang Ting said: "So you don't call, I'm very sad."
Yu Hao sighed and said, "Usually the word 'thank you' won't be scratched again after scratching the prize. This is human nature."
Yu Hao kept looking at the road, while Huang Ting drove his motorcycle, turned into an alley, stopped outside a three-story building, took off his gloves, and parked. When he entered the building, there was a heater inside, and Yu Hao saw several sturdy men walking up and down the corridor, shirtless and wearing long trousers, greeting Huang Ting from time to time.
"My brother." Huang Ting introduced them.
"Yo, your brother is working as a reporter."
"How many brothers do you have?"
Huang Ting: "There are younger brothers in the four seas."
Huang Ting took out the key to open the door, Yu Hao said, "Yo, Qihang also came here, more than once?"
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, little brother. Do I look like a bad guy?"
The place where Huang Ting lived was not as big as the living room of Yu Hao's house. The living room was neatly tidy, like a staff dormitory shared by several people. Huang Ting said, "Don't touch their belongings, all the people living here are special officials."
In the living room with three bedrooms and one living room, there is nothing at all, only a coffee table and a sofa. Playing cards were kept in a transparent box, and several police uniforms were hanging on the balcony.
Huang Ting took out another key, opened the door, and said to Yu Hao, "Come into my room."
"Go to bed, hurry up."
"… "
"You can lie down if you want."
Yu Hao followed Huang Ting into his bedroom. The bedroom was even smaller. There was only a bed and a small refrigerator in it. There was no window, and there were posters on the wall. Huang Ting asked Yu Hao to take off his shoes and sit on the bed, while he went out to change his clothes. Yu Hao glanced at the bookshelf and there were many photos on it. There are photos of him and the leader, as well as with Shi Ni, with Liang Jinmin and Chen Yekai, and with Ou Qihang outside the Forbidden City... It should have been taken by Huang Ting when Ou Qihang first came to Beijing to go to university.
A group photo of the three-person basketball team, a group photo of outing with Chen Yekai in junior high school...
And that photo of each of them—a backstage shot of the college celebration.
Yu Hao folded it and put it in the music box Zhou Sheng gave him. I made a photo frame and put it on the shelf.
Yu Hao opened the bookshelf and saw the corner of a photo in the row of books. He pulled it out. On it was a picture of Xiao Yujun taking a photo by the river, and Huang Ting secretly photographed her.
Yu Hao heard Huang Ting's cough in the hall, so he hurriedly stuffed the photos back and closed the bookshelf door.
Huang Ting brought in a few crisper boxes from outside for Yu Hao to see: "Hot pot? I'll wash the vegetables."
Yu Hao has always liked to eat hot pot, so he said, "I'll come."
"I heard that Zhou Sheng's cooking is delicious." Huang Ting followed Yu Hao to the kitchen, "You should have been taught well too."
"The kitchen is a sacred place for Zhou Sheng." Yu Hao said with a smile, "I avoided causing trouble for him. The food preparation was pretty good. According to his evaluation, it was barely usable."
Yu Hao took the vegetables to wash. Huang Ting's hot pot was very simple, only a lot of beef and mutton rolls and fresh chrysanthemum. But the simplest ingredients can restore the deepest and most original experience of "eating". Of course, the ingredients themselves must be fresh. Yu Hao took a look at the vegetables Huang Ting bought at noon. The ingredients were pretty good. The fat cows and sheep were distinctly fat and thin, and the chrysanthemum was freshly picked in the morning.
In the meantime, Zhou Sheng sent him a message, Yu Hao answered truthfully, and began to mix the fermented bean curd, sesame paste and chili sauce. Zhou Shengduo didn't ask a question, Yu Hao and him got a secret code, it was an agreement between the two, and Zhou Sheng's answer proved that everything was completely normal.
Huang Ting brought the dishes to the table, turned on the induction cooker, came over to clean up his hands, and coughed violently.
Yu Hao patted him on the back, always feeling that something was wrong, and asked, "Sick? Let's take a look?"
"Civil servants have regular inspections." After coughing, Huang Ting resumed his serious look and said, "I had a cold a while ago, and I coughed occasionally after I recovered. It's not viral, and it's not contagious."
Huang Ting took out two bottles of Arctic Ocean from the refrigerator outside and opened it. Yu Hao glanced at the living room and reminded him intuitively, why is there a small refrigerator in the room? What's in it
There was a small table on the bed, Huang Ting set out to eat, Yu Hao prepared the seasoning and handed it to him, just after eating, Huang Ting put down his chopsticks, a little sighed.
"This hot pot is quite good." Huang Ting nodded and praised.
"I just adjusted a seasoning and washed the vegetables!" Yu Hao couldn't help laughing, "You don't usually cook, do you?"
Huang Ting said: "Condiments are the soul of hot pot. Although colleagues live together, they are always busy and have different tasks."
Yu Hao said, "What kind of organization is this?"
"Special Investigation Center." Huang Ting replied, "It's a non-public organization, it's a pity that we don't have big news for you. We only follow orders from a few specific leaders, and everything else is kept secret."
Yu Hao cooked the meat and put it in Huang Ting's bowl. Huang Ting said, "Have you had a good time with Zhou Sheng?"
"He takes care of me at home," Yu Hao said, "It's just about feeding."
"It's easy to live with boys." Huang Ting added, "It's hard to change your sexuality, otherwise it's really good to have a family like you."
Yu Hao replied, "You can't make a family, it's not a matter of men and women."
"So, little classmate, what do you think is the problem with me?" Huang Ting said seriously.
"You're fine, there's no problem." Yu Hao thought to himself that I used to be a little classmate, but now I'm not. I'm not afraid to fight with you.
Yu Hao looked at him and said, "You are like one of our less approachable and serious elder brothers."
"Compared to Nicky Chan, who is intellectual, sexy, and personable," Huang Ting said, "of course, you don't like it that much."
Yu Hao said, "But occasionally I can still feel your tenderness."
"For example?" Huang Ting gave Yu Hao some fat and looked at him.
Yu Hao replied, "For example, in the sentence just now, asking how Zhou Sheng and I are doing, I can understand that you are concerned about whether I will be bullied by him?"
"He often bullies you?" Huang Ting continued to eat him again.
"Of course not." Yu Hao felt that it was indeed a bit difficult to deal with Huang Ting now, and he had to be on guard at all times to see if he would suddenly grab you and ask questions.
"You chat with me using an investigative approach, and I won't talk about it." Yu Hao said, "The last sentence was clearly discussing you."
Huang Ting held the chopsticks, raised his hands slightly, signaled his surrender, and said, "Continue."
Yu Hao spread his hands and continued to cook the meat. The two of them didn't speak for a while. Huang Ting looked at the meat with a serious look, then looked down at his watch and counted the seconds.
Yu Hao: "..."
Huang Ting glanced at Yu Hao and said, "I don't have many friends."
"I can tell." Yu Hao replied.
"Me and you, you and Zhou Sheng," Huang Ting thought for a while, picked up the meat from the pot, and said, "In the order of recognition, who comes first?"
Yu Hao didn't expect Huang Ting to suddenly mention this question, and replied, "You and me first. Teacher Chen hadn't come yet."
Huang Ting said: "At the gate of your academy, if I remember correctly, you wore a sportswear jacket that day, it was very cold, and you carried a black backpack with a lot of stuff in it. Take this thought and moral cultivation."
"Yes." Yu Hao raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "You remember it clearly."
The corners of Huang Ting's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "The first time I saw you that day, I knew it wasn't you who stole things."
Yu Hao said, "Thank you."
"But because of my career," Huang Ting replied, "I can't make a direct conclusion."
Yu Hao said, "It doesn't matter. Later, you sent a voice message to Teacher Chen. I know you believe me."
"Oh?" Huang Ting nodded thoughtfully, "Oh."
"You didn't actually want to be a criminal police officer, did you?" Yu Hao frowned, "When you were in Yingshi, what did you want to investigate? Are you sent by the central government?"
Huang Ting answered the question and said, "There are many things that you didn't think about in the first place. Sure enough, after you became a reporter, you slowly figured it out."
Yu Hao just asked casually, his heart was beating violently at this moment, his purpose was to investigate the Golden Crow? No, it didn't match what he and Zhou Sheng had guessed, they couldn't have known about the existence of the Golden Crow Wheel so early.
"Eat." Huang Ting said, "Don't let the meat get old."
Yu Hao roughly guessed the purpose of this meal, and had to admire Huang Ting's stubbornness. If he asked Yu Hao to talk to him one-on-one, although Yu Hao couldn't completely hide it from him now, he was no longer the stupid white sweet he used to be. Disrupting Huang Ting's rhythm is bound to happen. But he just made an appointment for such a hot pot meal at home. People are the weakest when they are eating. They have hot pot in their hands, their eyes are drifting, and they have to chat while eating. If they stop at any time, they will betray them. What Huang Ting thought was accurately captured by Huang Ting in various moments of surprise and surprise.
"Ou Weihong's case is very involved," Huang Ting said. "Of course, there are other corruption cases. I am relatively familiar with Yingshi, so I sent me back and hoped that I would play an informant role. This is normal."
"Yeah." Yu Hao said, "I was startled, I thought you were eyeing the Golden Crow Wheel from the very beginning."
Yu Hao didn't want to go around with him anymore, so he decided to throw a bomb at Huang Ting to see how he reacted.
Sure enough, Huang Ting was stunned for a short while, and then he immediately returned to his natural state. He said, "Yu Hao, can you follow the script? I haven't finished setting the stage yet, are you sure this will get to the point?"
"Who are we and who?" Yu Hao said with a smile, "Isn't it better to get straight to the point? So, let's play a game?"
Huang Ting stared at Yu Hao, Yu Hao thought for a while, and said, "I'll answer a question for you, and you answer a question for me."
Huang Ting: "You're really good at turning your back on the customer. Yu Hao, you have to understand that from the beginning to the end, I have regarded you as my friends and my younger brother..."
"Don't talk about those nonsense." Yu Hao said, "Do you want to play? Brother Huang Ting."
Huang Ting put down his chopsticks and was silent for a while. He rolled up his sleeves and made a fist-drawing gesture. Yu Hao was inexplicable. Huang Ting temporarily brought the food out of the door. Anyway, he had almost eaten.
"Come on." Huang Ting lifted the quilt and said, "Since this is the case, let's just cover the quilt and chat a few words?"
Yu Hao: "Brother Huang Ting, I don't think you're mentally normal recently."
"Everyone said that." Huang Ting replied, and patted the pillow beside him.
Yu Hao's heart thumped. Could it be that Huang Ting could already use the Golden Crow Wheel? He didn't refuse any more and went to bed. Huang Ting gave him a pillow to lean on, covered the quilt, and said, "It's better to just lie down..."
Yu Hao: "..."
Then, Huang Ting didn't know where to get a remote control, he turned off the light, and the room was pitch black. He pressed the remote, and blue light flashed on the opposite wall.
Yu Hao: "I'm going to fuck you... I thought you were going to do it!"
"What do you think?" Huang Ting looked at Yu Hao, but Yu Hao stared at the opposite wall. Huang Ting's room was too small, and the projection was projected on the wall opposite the bed. Huang Ting usually used the projection to watch movies. pastime.
"It should be good to watch small movies like this to solve the problem of being single," Yu Hao said.
"Immersive."
Huang Ting and Ou Qihang are just two extremes. Ou Qihang can talk to death at any time, while Huang Ting can talk about any topic along the way.
Huang Ting pressed a button, and a huge golden black wheel appeared in the projection in an instant, occupying the entire wall.
Yu Hao: "!!!"
The golden black wheel is very bright, and the surrounding edges are like prominences, exuding fire and light. Yu Hao even had the illusion that he saw the real Golden Crow Wheel in reality!
Huang Ting said, "surprised?"
"Indeed." Yu Hao replied, "I didn't expect it at all."
"This thing came out of my hands." Huang Ting continued.
Yu Hao: "No, I didn't expect you to put this kind of GIF animation in the PPT, and it won't be very stuck when you open it?"
Huang Ting: "..."
Yu Hao: "Keep scrolling, why are you showing such a strange expression?"
Yu Hao knew the secret to having a relationship with Huang Ting, that is, he couldn't lead him by the nose, and he absolutely couldn't make moves according to common sense, otherwise he would lead him away in a short while.
Huang Ting pressed the remote control again, and Yu Hao grabbed it with his hands. Huang Ting wanted to grab it, but Yu Hao started pressing it. Huang Ting coughed a few times and gave up to take back the remote control. Yu Hao scrolled down. The second page was the analysis report that Chen Yekai had sent to the Golden Crow at STA.
Yu Hao frowned, and Huang Ting said, "Since when did you start following you?"
Yu Hao murmured, "When Ou Qihang lost his memory."
"No." Huang Ting replied, "Earlier, when Nicky decided to give up everything and go to Argentina to end his life."
Yu Hao fell silent. He pressed the remote control and continued to scroll down. Immediately afterwards, the second page of the research report appeared. The report was all in English. When Yu Hao saw that page, he immediately became nervous, but he just glanced at it calmly, then pretended not to understand, and switched pages. The next page is a photo of him, Chen Yekai, and Zhou Sheng having breakfast in the hotel. The angle from which Huang Ting took the photo seems to be in the hotel garden.
Yu Hao said, "It's really hidden."
"Each each other." Huang Ting stretched out his hand, Yu Hao stopped insisting, and returned the remote control to him.
"It shouldn't be difficult for you reporters to understand," Huang Ting said, "to dig out the truth, you need perseverance and a little luck. Ye Kai had a serious mentality problem during that time... I suggest that he find a psychologist. , and things got worse and worse.”
"You know he wants to go to Argentina to commit suicide," Yu Hao said, "Have you ever thought about stopping him?"
"Of course there is." Huang Ting said, "What misunderstanding do you have about me? It's just that it's not easy for the criminal police to apply for an Argentine visa. You know, I have already bought my ticket. Before I set off, I found that he was back again. The three of you have opened a room in this hotel." After speaking, Huang Ting suddenly laughed and said, "Can you explain why?"
"Didn't you already know?" Yu Hao turned his head to look at Huang Ting, the two of them were lying on the bed, covered with a quilt.
"Yu Hao." Huang Ting said, "I'm on your side. It may not be easy to establish this trust, but when we first met, I gave you my trust without reservation."
Yu Hao remembered what Huang Ting said to Chen Yekai on WeChat under the premise of insufficient evidence in the case of Shi Liang who was wrongfully accused of stealing a watch.
"Yes, I'm very moved." Yu Hao said, "At that time, not many people believed in me."
"I'm looking for you, not Zhou Sheng. That's the reason." Huang Ting said calmly, "Ye Kai, Zhou Sheng, you, Xiao Ou, among you, you are the only one who might be willing to tell me the truth. , although I have pieced together an outline, I hope to hear the whole story from your mouth."
