Chen Mingsheng stared blankly at the little snowflake, unable to speak for a long time.
Wen Lei turned his head to look at Lao Xu, then turned around again, and said in a low voice, "Brother Sheng, do you have any contact with sister-in-law?"
Chen Mingsheng shook his head slowly.
Wen Lei said: "You haven't contacted me once after you came back?"
Chen Mingsheng lowered his head and hummed lightly.
Wen Lei said, "Are you afraid they will find out?" He looked at Chen Mingsheng's face and said, "It's okay, these people can't find out where they are going."
Chen Mingsheng said in a low voice, "It's not that I'm afraid of finding out."
Wen Lei said, "What are you afraid of?"
Chen Mingsheng returned to silence. He lowered his head and did not make a sound.
Wen Lei said cautiously: "Is it... Are you afraid of being distracted?"
Chen Mingsheng pursed his lips, and finally nodded slightly.
Wen Lei sighed and said, "That's right, it's not an ordinary job after all. Brother Sheng, please bear with it."
Chen Mingsheng smiled and patted Wen Lei on the shoulder.
Over there, Lao Xu and Liu Liwei had already discussed it. Lao Xu turned his head and looked at Chen Mingsheng and Wen Lei.
"Hey! What are you two gentlemen doing together?"
Wen Lei laughed and said, "Play computer! Can you play it too?"
Old Xu glared at him, "I'm playing ball." The older generation in the police station like Lao Xu doesn't like to use computers very much, and they don't know how to use them. Old Xu stretched out his hand to greet Chen Mingsheng and said, "Mingsheng, come here."
Chen Mingsheng sat next to Lao Xu, and Lao Xu showed him a small notebook spread out in front of him. Pointing at the top, he said, "Come and see, I've put together the news, and you can see if there's anything wrong."
Chen Mingsheng took the notebook and read it carefully from the beginning.
These news were recorded after Chen Mingsheng came back, including the words, deeds and movements of Bai Ji and others, as well as the news revealed by Liu Wei today. Lao Xu sorted these out and listed them on two pages. Chen Mingsheng read it for about ten minutes, then put down the notebook and said, "No problem."
"Okay." Liu Liwei put down his cigarette and said, "That's it, Lao Xu, let's go back and make arrangements as soon as possible."
"Yeah." Old Xu pinched out his cigarette, and stood up.
Chen Mingsheng stood up behind them. Liu Liwei looked at him and said, "Chen Mingsheng, you stand still these few days and leave it to us."
Chen Mingsheng didn't speak.
Liu Liwei didn't hear the answer, so he raised his head and looked at Lao Xu. Liu Liwei said, "Why, do you have any other ideas?"
Chen Mingsheng looked at him, then lowered his head again. Liu Liwei stood face to face with him and said, "It doesn't matter, just speak up if you have any ideas, we can discuss anything."
Chen Mingsheng hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Captain Liu, can I go together?"
Liu Liwei and Lao Xu were taken aback at the same time, and Lao Xu said, "Go together? What are you going to do?"
Chen Mingsheng couldn't tell the reason.
Old Xu frowned and said, "No. You have no reason to go. First, you can't follow us. Second, this matter has nothing to do with you in Baijina. If you participate rashly, it will arouse his suspicion. "
After Lao Xu finished speaking, he looked at Chen Mingsheng who was still silent. He wanted to say something, but Liu Liwei stopped him.
"Chen Mingsheng, do you want to avenge Captain Yan?"
Chen Mingsheng raised his head and looked at Liu Liwei. After hearing this, Lao Xu shook his head bitterly. Liu Liwei said with a serious face: "Do you want to kill him with your own hands?"
When Chen Mingsheng heard the words "Kill him", his expression seemed to be in a daze, as if the scene that had been repeated in his mind many times appeared in front of his eyes.
His eyes were fixed on a certain place in the void, and his eyes became deep and cruel because of the scene in his mind.
"Chen Mingsheng!"
With a sudden shout, Chen Mingsheng looked at Liu Liwei suddenly, and Liu Liwei stared at Chen Mingsheng closely with powerful eyes.
Chen Mingsheng looked into those eyes for a while before he came back to his senses. He raised his hand, rubbed his face, and said hoarsely, "I'm sorry, I was stunned."
Liu Liwei remained silent, his eyes still looking at Chen Mingsheng, as if waiting for him to calm down completely.
"Chen Mingsheng, I know Captain Yan's sacrifice touched you a lot." Liu Liwei said, "But you have to remember, you are a policeman."
Chen Mingsheng took a deep breath, nodded, and said in a low voice, "... I know."
"There used to be..." Old Xu suddenly said, "The comrades who went undercover, some became addicted to drugs, and some were completely immersed in the world over there and didn't want to come back."
Chen Mingsheng stood aside with his head down.
"But I believe you won't." Old Xu looked at Chen Mingsheng with a relaxed tone. "When Captain Yan introduced you to me back then, he said, you boy, here is strong—" Old Xu said, and patted Chen Mingsheng's left chest.
He patted, but his eyes were red.
"It's strong here, you boy, it's strong here!"
Chen Mingsheng gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. Seeing them like this, Liu Liwei was also touched in his heart.
"What is this for?" Liu Liwei said, "Hurry up and let go, the mission is still at a critical juncture." He pulled Lao Xu to let him let go of Chen Mingsheng, and said, "When this mission comes to an end, some of us will get together gone."
Old Xu let go of Chen Mingsheng, and Liu Liwei said, "We're leaving first, you can come out later."
Wen Lei packed up his computer over there, and came here as well.
Old Xu said to Chen Mingsheng: "Keep in touch, if there is any first-hand news, I will let you know."
Chen Mingsheng nodded and said, "Okay."
After Lao Xu and the others left, Chen Mingsheng sat back on the bed. He buried his face in his palms, trying to calm himself down.
Just now, for a moment, he really wanted to kill Liu Wei with his own hands.
No law, no trial, just the simplest and most primitive method.
With hands and knives, he was tortured bit by bit until he died.
Chen Mingsheng gritted his teeth.
He has been a little irritable recently, he was never like this before.
why…
Chen Mingsheng inevitably thought of Yang Zhao.
Thinking of her, Chen Mingsheng's heart became quiet.
He stood up, leaning on his crutches to the window.
Looking out from the window, the trees outside are still lush and full of life. But today, where she was, it was snowing.
Chen Mingsheng tried to use his imagination to add snowflakes to the scenery in front of him.
But he found he couldn't.
These are two completely different places, these are two completely different worlds.
In this empty room, Chen Mingsheng's longing for Yang Zhao was like a tide, surging with every green leaf and every breeze outside the house.
What is she doing, is her work going well, is her brother listening to her...
Did she miss him
Chen Mingsheng lowered his head, unconsciously, his hands were clenched into fists.
He forced himself not to think about it, but this time, it didn't go as smoothly as before.
Chen Mingsheng took out his phone, pressed the off button, and threw the phone on the bed.
But after a while, he took the phone back.
After turning on the phone again, Chen Mingsheng quickly dialed a series of numbers as if he was out of control.
Then, he held the phone to his ear.
[Sorry, the user you dialed is temporarily unavailable.]
Chen Mingsheng was stunned.
He took off his phone and glanced at the screen. Although he didn't see the problem, he still hung up the phone and dialed the number again.
The polite and soft voice on the phone remained unchanged—[Sorry, the person you dialed is temporarily unavailable.]
Chen Mingsheng's palms were almost dripping with sweat.
He reconsidered the number, wondering if he had misremembered it. Although he knew it was impossible, even if it was someone else's phone number, as long as he memorized it carefully, it would be impossible to make a mistake, let alone Yang Zhao's.
Chen Mingsheng took his mobile phone and called a dozen times in a row, all with the same words. He turned on the phone until it was hot, and it ran out of battery, but it didn't connect.
It was dark, and the phone's battery was less than three percent.
Chen Mingsheng finally called Wen Lei.
Wen Lei seemed to be still busy.
"Hello, Brother Sheng?"
"Xiao Lei."
"What's the matter, Brother Sheng, do you want to find Lao Xu?"
"No, I'm looking for you."
"looking for me?"
Chen Mingsheng took a deep breath, and said as calmly as possible: "Is there anyone around you now?"
Wen Lei said, "No, they're in a meeting."
Chen Mingsheng said, "Xiao Lei, I want to ask you for a favor."
Wen Lei was taken aback, and quickly said, "What are you doing, brother Sheng, you want to scare me to death, and you still invite me, just tell me what to do."
Chen Mingsheng said, "Can you help me get in touch... your sister-in-law?"
Wen Lei paused and said, "Contact sister-in-law? Now?"
Chen Mingsheng's voice trembled a little. He tried his best to control himself and said, "I called her just now, but I couldn't get through."
"Huh?" Wen Lei said, "Can't get through? Are you on the phone?"
"… no."
Wen Lei said: "Brother Sheng, don't worry, give me your sister-in-law's phone number."
Chen Mingsheng gave Yang Zhao's number, and Wen Lei said, "Brother Sheng, wait for a while, I'll check it out for you."
Chen Mingsheng said, "Okay, Xiaolei, hurry up."
"Okay, right away, you wait for my call."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Mingsheng sat on the bed, almost counting the seconds.
While he was telling himself that something would happen to Yang Zhao, the cold sweat on his back unknowingly seeped out.
Twenty minutes later, Wen Lei's phone was turned on, and Chen Mingsheng answered it right away.
"Hello, Xiaolei."
"Brother Sheng."
"How about it, have you found it?"
"Found it." Wen Lei said, "Brother Sheng, don't worry, I reported the loss of this card at the business office a few days ago. It must be that my sister-in-law is unlucky and lost her phone."
Chen Mingsheng said, "Are you sure?"
"Yes." Wen Lei said, "My sister-in-law used her ID card to reissue it. The card has already been reissued. If it hasn't been activated yet, it's probably because my sister-in-law hasn't had time to buy a new mobile phone yet."
Chen Mingsheng remained silent.
"Hello? Brother Sheng?"
Chen Mingsheng came back to his senses and said to Wen Lei, "Thank you."
"Why are you being polite to me?" Wen Lei said, "If you need me in the future, just come to me."
Chen Mingsheng put down the phone, and the battery just died.
He looked at the screen that was automatically turned off, and let out a long breath.
Whether a heart is let go, it is not complete.
Chen Mingsheng leaned back and fell on the bed. He covered his forehead with one hand and pinched his temple hard.
Yang Zhao...
Yang Zhao...
Or Yang Zhao...
Chen Mingsheng didn't know what he was thinking, he stood up abruptly, took the crutches, and went straight out the door.
He drove the car to an underground parking garage, then came out and hailed a taxi on the side of the road.
After getting in the car, the driver yawned, glanced at Chen Mingsheng's crutches, and said, "Where are you going?"
Chen Mingsheng closed the car door with deep eyes. He put his crutches on the back seat and said in a low voice:
"Airport."
