The bed in the hotel is actually not as big as the bed in the guest room of Shen Yexi's house, and the bed boards are a bit old, and they will creak when moved. Jiang Hu lay with his back to Shen Yexi, lying silently for a long time, very Wanting to turn over and have a desire, half of the body has been numb. But he soon discovered that no matter how slight the movement was, the bed would make a loud noise, which was especially embarrassing in the silent night. He was embarrassed, so he dared not move.
The more I dare not move, the more I want to turn over and feel more uncomfortable.
Jiang Hu struggled there, turning over, not turning over, turning over one, or...
In the end, Jiang Hu compromised, and finally realized the pain of a disabled friend who can't take care of himself. He thought he was already in his twenties, so why bother himself so much
So he moved as lightly as possible, propped up his body slightly with one hand, and tried not to cause any movement—or the bed in this hotel was the best, if he turned over quickly with a knife, it would actually be a "creak". As a result, when he was so careful and light-footed, the "crunch" became "crack-crack-crack-crack-" very graceful, with the meaning of singing and sighing three times.
Heideng Xiahuo just hid Jiang Hu's blushing face, he thought this night was really sad.
Suddenly, Shen Yexi stretched out a hand, just groped from under the quilt, and pressed Jiang Hu on the back of the hand on one side, and the latter's eyebrows jumped.
Shen Yexi asked: "What are you doing, can't sleep?"
"I'm thinking..." Jiang Hu wanted to say that he was thinking about the case, but he was afraid that Shen Yexi would start asking "what did you come up with" in the next sentence, so he could only stop there halfway, and finally understood the four-character idiom "dumb mouth" Speechless" is what kind of feeling.
So Jiang Hu was quick to think, and asked, "Why didn't you fall asleep?"
"I'm thinking about something too." Shen Yexi smiled softly.
Jiang Hu stopped answering. If it was an ordinary work matter, with Captain Shen's personality, he would say it directly. He used such vague words as "thinking about things", and the specific content behind it, except for what he didn't want to say, was that he wanted to hang the other party and ask the other party to ask. According to Jiang Hu's observation results, Shen Yexi didn't want to When speaking, there is usually some hesitation in the tone.
So to sum up, Shen has malicious intentions.
Jiang Hu knew that under such circumstances, once he took the bait to pick up his words, he would no longer be in control of the conversation, and it would be difficult to control the course of the topic.
Shen Yexi waited for a while, and found that Jiang Hu had no intention of picking up his words, and was a little depressed. This kid is really boring, they are all sharing the same bed, and they are always thinking about guarding against others.
So Shen Yexi could only say to himself: "I'm thinking about you, what are you doing back home? With your background, the environment abroad may be much better than ours. If you say that you love the motherland so you came back, it's not true. , firstly, you didn’t grow up in China, and you can’t speak Chinese well, and secondly, you don’t have any relatives in China, so naturally you have nothing to worry about. I don’t understand, what are you doing when you come back.”
Jiang Hu said casually: "For the sake of Chinese food, I don't think it matters if the environment is good or not. I don't have to live in poverty. I don't have any relatives in the United States."
Shen Yexi laughed: "We asked you when we first met, you just prevaricate me like this, and it's still like this now, isn't it interesting?"
Jiang Hu fell silent.
After a while, Shen Yexi was a little disappointed. He knew that Jiang Hu's thoughts were so deep that they, a group of professionals who usually deal with all kinds of vicious people by observing their words and expressions, felt confused.
If Jiang Hu doesn't open his mouth and lose his composure, few people can grasp his feelings. But... After all, we have been friends for such a long time. Although Shen Yexi feels that the other party treats him, perhaps not as much as he wants to treat him, he should have some trust in him, right
It wasn't until Shen Yexi thought Jiang Hu didn't want to talk about it that he heard a very light sigh. Jiang Hu said: "Captain Shen, I'm sorry for something, I've been keeping it secret."
"Um?"
"Under my coat, I have a pocket pistol."
Shen Yexi jumped up from the bed. He was stunned for a long time before asking with his tongue tied: "You... what's under your coat?"
"A pocket pistol." Jiang Hu said calmly.
"What kind of pistol? You put it next to your body, have you pulled the safety catch and everything? What are you doing with such a dangerous thing? What if..."
Jiang Hu suddenly cut off his voice: "At this time, you shouldn't ask me where the gun came from. What is the intention of carrying such a murder weapon all day long?"
Shen Yexi froze, opened his mouth, his mind was a little confused, he didn't know what to say, but Jiang Hu laughed.
Shen Yexi is a man who is meticulous and considerate to his friends and colleagues. When he wants to be nice to someone, it's really... It's hard not to be moved.
His hand under the quilt gently turned over, and held Shen Yexi's instead.
Shen Yexi sat on the bed in a daze, the quilt slipped to his waist, he felt the fingers on the back of his hand were a bit cold, only the palm of his hand was warm, with a little callus on the fingertips, Not as gentle as girls, but slender, with protruding bones at the joints.
At that moment, he felt as if the whole night was lit up, and great joy surged up from his heart.
Jiang Hu said: "A worried friend secretly stuffed the gun into me. For self-defense, there is only one bullet in it. Don't worry, I have a license in the United States, and I won't cause any danger. This matter waits for this case. It's over, I'll go back and tell you slowly... "
He paused, and added softly: "I promise."
Shen Yexi suddenly wanted to just run out like this, ran across the town, woke up everyone, and told everyone that he was happy, really happy, he thought, so those disgusting words made people's teeth sore The story, after all, is somewhat true.
All this madness that outsiders don't understand is just because I like him, but he didn't refuse.
He finally stopped retreating and refused.
Of course, as a good policeman of the people, it is very unlikely that Team Shen would do such a crazy act of disturbing the people by running around the field three times. The self-control system he is proud of has finally recovered from the crash, allowing him to barely restrain himself Feeling like a hemiplegia, he lay down again.
Hey, old Shen, you finally know what it means to laugh even in your dreams tonight, right
This night, I actually slept very peacefully.
Early the next morning, Jiang Hu was eating breakfast while looking at all the files that Sheng Yao had finally recovered. That guy probably got up early too. Jiang Hu remembered the voice he heard on the phone yesterday, and remembered that Sheng Yao could still get up so early , so I feel that comrade Sheng Yao is really dedicated.
Well, at least it's much better than the so-and-so who never came to court early.
But Mr. An, if you know that after you break up the whole Song of Everlasting Sorrow word by word and crumble it into pieces, the only thing someone will remember is that whoever didn’t say a word earlier, would you be so angry that you broke the law on the spot? crime
Cough, Amitabha, sin sin.
Jiang Hu spent the whole breakfast time reading the diary of this chameleon who had changed many identities and pretended to fall in love with so many people at first sight.
Shen Yexi peeled the boiled eggs and cut them into four pieces and put them on his plate, raising his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"
"What does it call itself... I don't know the word." Jiang Hu pushed the screen over to show Shen Yexi, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Shen Yexi watched for two seconds, with a deep expression, Jiang Hu asked, "What is it?"
Shen Yexi said calmly, "I'll give you a Baidu check."
Jiang Hu choked for a moment, and laughed aloud: "No, no need—what I want to say is that no matter how this person changes his diary, there are a few places that have not changed. First, he, most Chinese, Unrecognized name, second, he mentioned, the complicated feelings for his father, and in several versions, the way he called his father is the blood provider, third, every place he called love at first sight They are all flower window bars, and they all use a sentence: "I can see everything at a glance, and everyone's beauty and ugliness can be seen. Only that person is in a dimly lit place, secretly elegant, as if drawing such a line between himself and his surroundings." Secretly, the boundaries are general and clear-cut."
"Is he a novelist?" Shen Yexi felt his teeth ache.
"And the fourth one," Jiang Hu continued, "is what he does over and over again, and every time he returns to the topic of Dongqing Town at the end."
"You mean... if his previous targets are already unfortunate," Shen Yexi raised his head, "then the place where the corpses are disposed of is likely to be in Dongqing Town!"
Jiang Hu smiled, and Shen Yexi slapped him on the head: "Then why don't you eat it quickly, why are you dawdling?!"
Jiang Hu and Shen Yexi's original plan was to return to the city after watching the murder scene. They didn't expect Dongqing Town to have such a great significance to the murderer, so they decided to stay for a few more days. The unlucky police officer Xiao Li could only continue to accompany and run errands, leading them into the household registration office of Dongqing Town.
Dongqing Town is actually quite tragic. It is simply the shadow of the city's economic belt. Not only has it not been driven by the surrounding big cities, but it is also falling behind. That is to say, the tourism industry is barely passable, but this tourism industry is also Only people from nearby provinces and cities have heard of it, and it is not a particularly famous tourist town.
Because of this horrific murder, it brought a little popularity to the town.
There is only one broken and old computer in the household registration office, and the calculation speed is not as good as doing it by hand. After a long time, the heat dissipation is not good, and it just crashes. As for the database, it is even more tragic. Xiao Li admitted frankly that it has not been updated for many years.
Shen Yexi asked depressedly: "What can you do with this shit?"
The old household registration policeman at the household registration office held a teacup and replied cheerfully: "Turn on, shut down, and clear mines."
Choking Shen Dui quite hard, Jiang Hu lowered his head secretly laughing. Shen Yexi rolled up his sleeves, and gave Jiang Hu a white look: "Still stunned, come over to help, no electronic ones, no paper ones?"
Just as Jiang Hu thought about it, he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, why did I forget that person, Team Shen, I'll go out and make a phone call."
Shen Yexi was alert: "Who are you calling?"
Jiang Hu took out a card from his pocket, lowered his head and pressed the key to dial, and said casually, "It's that... the person I met at the door of the flower window last time..."
Shen Yexi snatched his mobile phone and stared: "Don't call!"
