Chapter 40: Now

Views:

The next morning, The Peninsula Hotel:

"This is too risky!" Zhou Luoyang said, "crazy, just crazy, he has a gun! You are empty-handed, fighting with a man with a gun?!"

Du Jing sat at the table drinking coffee by himself, and replied, "If necessary, I really want to kill him."

Zhou Luoyang said, "What did you kill him for?"

Du Jing glanced at Zhou Luoyang and said casually, "Do you know who he is?"

Zhou Luoyang: "I don't know..."

Du Jing said, "So?"

Zhou Luoyang asked again: "Who is he? I don't care who he is, but why do you need to see him alone?"

Du Jing said: "He must have bought a lot of insurance. Maybe the beneficiary will be very happy? Of course, I also bought insurance."

Zhou Luoyang was a little angry, looked at Du Jing, and said, "You'd better explain it to me honestly."

"Employee of the old club," Du Jing said, "a new recruit hired by the Detective Association."

Zhou Luoyang asked again, "Why is there a conflict?"

Du Jing was silent for a moment, then said, "Because of some things in the past."

Zhou Luoyang said worriedly: "You leave that detective association, don't they plan to let you go? Because of secrets?"

Du Jing replied neatly: "No."

Zhou Luoyang frowned in doubt, Du Jing thought about it, and finally said: "It involves an old case and the death of a person, this new member of the old club is obviously unwilling to give up on this matter, Su Pu suspects, I and I That person's death is involved."

"Who?" Zhou Luoyang said.

"I can't tell you," Du Jing replied with a slightly stern tone, "Trust me, this is not what you should know."

Zhou Luoyang had no choice but to give up and ask further questions. He thought it was related to the mission that Du Jing had performed. According to the information revealed in his words, Zhou Luoyang guessed that Du Jing might have died in a certain mission due to his reasons. . And this accident was related to Supu, so the other party kept on looking for it. They happened to meet at the auction and recognized Du Jing, who had left the company long ago.

"You swear you didn't lie to me." Zhou Luoyang looked at Du Jing suspiciously. This thing is so weird that someone actually wants to kill him!

Du Jing said, "I never lie to you."

But he still raised three fingers and said, "I swear, I will never cheat on my wife Zhou Luoyang."

"Remove the word 'my wife'," Zhou Luoyang said, "then as long as you say so, I will believe you."

Du Jing smiled.

Rare, he smiled.

When Zhou Luoyang saw Du Jing's seldom-appeared smile, no matter what doubts or anger he had, it would disappear.

"Let's go," Zhou Luoyang thought for a while and said, "If you don't participate in the auction, try not to meet Supu again."

"No," Du Jing glanced at his watch and said, "We have to change clothes and go to breakfast. You will meet Chen Biaojin in the restaurant, otherwise how can you get his invitation letter for the inspection? You have to drink Svatarlo in the afternoon. Vsky's afternoon tea."

This day is doomed - Zhou Luoyang thought. But with the previous experience as a foreshadowing, he had everything in mind, and he was appropriately late fifteen minutes during the afternoon tea time, got the watch that Swartanowski was to repair, and did not scan two more Van Eye of Sai Di, and Du Jing sat quietly drinking tea.

"I thought these twenty-four hours would not be repeated."

"In the last twenty-four hours, I adjusted the date ring in the afternoon," Du Jing said, "so even if the dial was shattered by bullets that night, the retrospective time still played a role."

"Or, maybe all the devices inside didn't fall out?" Zhou Luoyang rotated the surface, looked at the sun, and muttered, "Then at least another guess can be made, this watch does not need to be kept intact to function, as long as a certain A core component has not been destroyed, and it can still return to its original state."

"Did you see it clearly last night?" Du Jing asked again, "What's in the broken dial?"

Zhou Luoyang shook his head and said, "Where is the time?"

Du Jing said: "I see a little light, maybe it's dazzling, blue light."

Zhou Luoyang said: "Maybe we can find a day, try to set the time back, and then gradually take it apart to see what is at play."

"It's a good idea." Du Jing replied easily.

"Now I have the invitation letter," Zhou Luoyang said, putting another piece of the Eye of Versailles in his pocket, "I think I can go."

He really didn't want Du Jing to meet Su Pu again, the scene of running away with blood was too scary, and after Du Jing kicked him off the sixth floor, he couldn't confirm whether Su Pu was at twelve o'clock died before. According to the old rules, if Supu dies once, another person will die within 24 hours...

... They all avoided discussing this matter tacitly. Du Jing's fingers were still tapping on the table, thinking in a trance. At the end, he looked at Zhou Luoyang.

"Check your passport," Du Jing said, "Let's go now."

At this moment, the doorbell rang outside the door of the guest room. Zhou Luoyang leaned in front of the cat and looked out. Supu was standing at the door of their room as if nothing was happening, tidying his hair and holding a small bag in his hand.

Zhou Luoyang looked back at Du Jing, Du Jing didn't speak, as if he had expected it.

"Let him in." Du Jing said, dodging behind the bathroom door.

Zhou Luoyang hesitated for a moment, Du Jing signaled to be relieved, Zhou Luoyang took a deep breath, calmed down, and opened the door.

"Is Vincent here?" Su Pu looked at Zhou Luoyang tenderly and smiled.

"He's gone," Zhou Luoyang said, "you can wait for him here."

So Su Pu walked in, just as Zhou Luoyang closed the door, Su Pu was hit hard by Du Jing on the back of the head and passed out on the ground.

After half an hour:

Supu's hands were tied behind his back and his mouth was gagged. Du Jing, wearing gloves, turned over his handbag and poured out a gun, a lipstick, and several identification documents. There was also a miniature camera in the bag for his convenience. As you put your bag on the table, take pictures of every move on the other side.

"Woo... woo..." Su Pu couldn't help struggling, and gestured with his eyes to let him speak.

Du Jing picked up the pistol and placed it on Supu's forehead.

Zhou Luoyang's heart suddenly raised his throat.

But Du Jing didn't shoot in the end, he just took Sup's equipment and threw him in the hotel bathtub and said, "Let's go."

Su Pu was very anxious, and kept winking at Zhou Luoyang, first nodding, then shaking his head.

Zhou Luoyang was very worried and said, "Aren't you listening to what he has to say?"

"It's nothing to hear," Du Jing said indifferently, "letting him speak will only make me want to shoot him in the head even more."

Du Jing dragged his suitcase and left the hotel lobby with Zhou Luoyang. A car parked outside the lobby and rolled down the window, revealing Zhuang Li's face.

"Go to the airport." Du Jing said.

Zhuang Li said, "I... Brother Jing, I just got off the plane, and I haven't had time for my luggage..."

Du Jing stood looking at him, Zhuang Li immediately turned around sensible and led them away from the Peninsula Hotel.

On the way, for some unknown reason, there were a lot of temporary checkpoints, and Lin Di's call came on Zhou Luoyang's cell phone.

"Where have you been?" Lin Di asked nervously, "Why isn't the auction coming?"

"I was found," Du Jing said, "hang up the phone."

Zhou Luoyang had to apologize to Lin Di, hung up the phone, and Du Jing answered Huang Ting's call.

"Why did you hide a monster in your room?" Huang Ting said, "What are you doing?! The police are already tracking you down, where are you? Where did you go?"

Du Jing said: "Hold the police, turn back and explain to you that we must leave the country immediately, and Ho Chi Minh City will wait for you to meet."

Huang Ting said: "No! I don't have a cross-border investigation permit now, otherwise I wouldn't..."

Du Jing hung up the phone, Zhuang Li took his luggage, and the three of them were blocked by the police as soon as they entered the airport.

Du Jing put his right hand on the back of his left, took a half step back, and cooperated politely.

Then, all the belongings of Zhuang Li, Du Jing, and Zhou Luoyang were confiscated, including the two Eyes of Versailles.

Zhou Luoyang was taken into the interrogation room. A police officer held a plastic bag with Supu's gun in it and asked Zhou Luoyang, "How did this thing come from?"

Zhou Luoyang glanced at the clock on the wall, it was exactly twelve o'clock.

It was dark and bright again, and he woke up on the bed in the Peninsula Hotel.

Du Jing pondered while holding the phone, the watch still on his wrist.

"I can't let Zhuang Li come over, this kid can't hold his breath." Du Jing said, "A dance?"

Zhou Luoyang: "Why did you come back for 24 hours?!"

Du Jing: "It's better than squatting in a detention room at the airport. I'll plan the time."

While talking to himself, Du Jing drew a timeline progress chart on the paper. Zhou Luoyang went over and looked at the process on paper, and suddenly felt that the two of them were playing a real-life RPG adventure mode with a multi-branch plot.

"You must get the invitation letter before leaving," Zhou Luoyang said, lying on the table, "this is the main purpose."

Du Jing opened the two buttons of his pajamas, revealing his collarbone and looming chest muscles, glanced at Zhou Luoyang, and nodded.

"So leave the time plan," Du Jing said. "If you don't want to have a head-on conflict with Supu, you must leave after getting the invitation letter and before being blocked by him."

"Can't we use other methods?" Zhou Luoyang asked, "For example..."

"Meat shredder?" Du Jing asked, "but the head won't be minced, what should I do?"

Zhou Luoyang exploded and said, "No! You won't let him speak?"

Zhou Luoyang's original intention was whether the two sides could resolve it peacefully. Why did they fight last time and finally fired? And Du Jing never explained.

Du Jing said, "I don't want to listen to his nonsense. If there is a time difference, we can go to the airport and find a place to fax the invitation letter."

Zhou Luoyang said helplessly: "Okay, I'll listen to you, try it out."

The next day, after seeing Chen Biaojin, having afternoon tea with Swartanowski, and getting the invitation letter, Du Jing and Zhou Luoyang called a taxi and went straight to the airport. Nothing went wrong this time, only before the auction started, Lin Di and Huang Ting each made a phone call to them.

Zhou Luoyang's reply to Lin Di was that there was a sudden emergency and he had to leave. Du Jing asked Huang Ting to leave as soon as possible and waited for the rendezvous in Ho Chi Minh City.

"I'll fax," Du Jing said, "it will take at least two hours to wait for the electronic signature information to be updated."

Zhou Luoyang nodded and bought the latest flight to Ho Chi Minh City with Du Jing.

"Pay attention to safety." Zhou Luoyang said.

He washed his hands in the bathroom and washed his face by the way. At this time, Supu appeared in the bathroom mirror.

He stood behind Zhou Luoyang and said seriously, "Zhou Luoyang, I have something to talk to you about."

Zhou Luoyang wiped his hands, thinking about countermeasures in his mind, but Du Jing has not come back.

"How long have you known Vincent?" Sup asked.

Zhou Luoyang said, "I don't know you, so there's nothing to talk about. This is the men's room, miss."

Zhou Luoyang turned around and left, guessing that he would never dare to kill someone at the airport.

"Wait!" Su Pu was abnormal, followed behind Zhou Luoyang, and whispered anxiously, "Du Jing came back to China and came to your side for a purpose! If you don't want your family to be in danger, you must consider it. Cooperate with us! Don't go any further! Vincent killed your father in order to hide the clues! Zhou Song was killed by him!"

At that moment, Zhou Luoyang's blood was about to solidify, and he turned his head suddenly and looked at Su Pu.

"What did you say?" Zhou Luoyang's voice trembled.

"I have evidence," Sup said, "but the evidence is not in my hands, come with me, I asked the headquarters to send over the surveillance video of Haneda Airport, it was a man-made car accident! I asked them to send it now, We can find a coffee shop and sit down, the choice is yours!"

At the same time, not far from the corner, Du Jing came to him after finishing the fax.

In an instant, Zhou Luoyang was keenly aware of two key words: Haneda Airport, man-made car accident.

Why did a foreign detective investigation association investigate the death of him and Le Yao's father

But in the blink of an eye, Du Jing was already standing in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, Supu openly took out a lipstick gun at the airport, but Du Jing moved faster than him, dodging, the gunshot sounded, and shattered the display screen hanging high, the new Hong Kong airport was in chaos, the police arrived, Du Jing Pulling up Zhou Luoyang, he was about to flee, but he was already controlled.

"Hi," Zhou Luoyang said to the police officer who came to interrogate him in the detention room with a heavy heart, "meet again."

It was the same person who had interrogated him in the last 24 hours. The police officer looked at Zhou Luoyang suspiciously with a strange expression. Zhou Luoyang only stared at the wall clock on the wall. The police officer followed his gaze and looked at the wall clock.

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, time passed, and I returned to the guest room of the Peninsula Hotel again.

Zhou Luoyang couldn't bear it any longer and said, "How will this day be over?"

"Come on," Du Jing said, "you go to bed first, and it will be resolved tomorrow."

Zhou Luoyang: "I'm going crazy. This is the fourth time on the same day. I have to see Chen Biaojin in the morning! Say the same thing again!"

This afternoon, when the two of them were at the airport, Du Jing looked down at the invitation letter, and Zhou Luoyang went into the bathroom.

Su Pu appeared behind Zhou Luoyang, and was immediately knocked to the ground by Du Jing's sap.

Du Jing glanced at his watch, it was eleven:05.

"Come here." Du Jing dragged Supu into the toilet cubicle. Zhou Luoyang followed and locked the door.

Du Jing patiently took out a small bottle of anesthetic disguised as nail polish from Supu's bag, dripped it on his coat, and then covered his head with the coat.

Then, Du Jing first asked Zhou Luoyang to turn to the next door, and he also turned over.

"What sound?" Outside heard the sound of Zhou Luoyang accidentally hitting the partition when he landed, and knocked on the door.

Airport security came in the bathroom and talked to each other in Cantonese. Du Jing gently pushed Zhou Luoyang, Zhou Luoyang meant that someone was outside, Du Jing said it was okay, and rubbed Zhou Luoyang's hair twice.

Zhou Luoyang: "???"

Zhou Luoyang opened the door and walked out with a nervous expression on his face. The two security guards outside thought that someone had fallen in the cubicle, but when they saw the two men staying in the same cubicle, they both showed strange expressions.

Du Jing calmly adjusted the belt and responded with a calm gaze.

The two walked to the vanity mirror one after the other, and Du Jing patted Luoyang's butt next week.

Du Jing: "Do you like it?"

Zhou Luoyang: "…"

It was rare for Zhou Luoyang to take the initiative to tidy Du Jing's tie. With a rough pull and a push, the tie was folded and stuck on his Adam's apple.

Du Jing didn't go to the VIP lounge, he just found a place to sit in the waiting room and looked at the bathroom from a distance. Flip out Supu's lipstick, twist it a little, and unscrew the barrel of the small silencer gun.

"This is for you," Du Jing said, "there are six bullets in it."

The other shotgun, Sup, was not with him, thinking it was inconvenient to enter the airport.

"The security check is too watery now," Zhou Luoyang said. "Everything can be put in."

"The detective has a method for the detective." Du Jing put on his sunglasses and said casually, "He must have a contact person, and the contact person put the gun in the hotel beforehand."

"But why hasn't this connector appeared?" Zhou Luoyang frowned.

"Didn't it show up?" Du Jing said, "I don't see it."

Zhou Luoyang's thoughts are very confused now, but Du Jing didn't seem to notice, and said seriously: "The first time doesn't count, the second time they quickly found out that Su Pu was locked up by us, which means that there is a contact person who is working on it. Pay attention to Supu's movements, and within an hour, he will be released and the police will be called."

Zhou Luoyang needed to find something to say to distract himself, and then asked, "Who will be the connector?"

Du Jing took off his sunglasses and glanced at Zhou Luoyang.

"What do you think?" Du Jing asked back.

"How do I know?" Zhou Luoyang was dumbfounded.

He didn't think about the strangeness of it. In fact, Su Pu's words did disturb his mind to some extent. Zhou Luoyang is very sure that their family are ordinary people, and his father has never shown that he has any secrets... No, is there really no secrets

Zhou Luoyang glanced at the Eye of Versailles on Du Jing's wrist.

He struggled to drive out a series of thoughts.

Du Jing waited for a while, but did not get an answer, and found Zhou Luoyang's abnormality.

"What?" Du Jing suddenly asked.

Zhou Luoyang said unnaturally, "I'm thinking."

Du Jing revealed the answer in advance and pointed out the most crucial person: "That Ukrainian girl."

Zhou Luoyang's thoughts were in chaos, and his attention was now focused on what Su Pu had previously revealed.

"Yes." Zhou Luoyang replied subconsciously.

Du Jing only thought that Zhou Luoyang was thinking about the connection, and naturally said: "Whether Svartanlovsky knew that there was an undercover beside him, I don't know. But it seems that Supu and the Ukrainian beauty, Not a gang."

"Well," Zhou Luoyang was a little tired, rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers, and said, "Otherwise, we wouldn't have let us go that night when we escaped... Du Jing."

Du Jing: "?"

Zhou Luoyang and Du Jing looked at each other silently, Du Jing raised his eyebrows slightly, the scars on his face were especially obvious, just like the day they first met.

Zhou Luoyang always felt that in the whole thing, there was something that he completely ignored, but he still couldn't figure it out. But at the moment when they looked at each other, he recalled their first meeting in the stormy bedroom, and he finally pinpointed exactly that point.

Why did Du Jing leave quietly one day in his junior year, joined the FBI's Detective Association, and stayed in Washington for two full years

It's not something he would do.

The truth of the car accident, the so-called "secrets", these Zhou Luoyang can be put on hold for now, and then asked later, only Du Jing's abnormal behavior is the biggest mystery in the whole thing.

They are all ordinary people. During their time together, Du Jing never mentioned his desire to be a private investigator. They had never even heard of this association. And just after the reunion, when Zhou Luoyang asked why he left many years ago, Du Jing's answer was "You must know?".

Zhou Luoyang looked at Du Jing seriously.

Du Jing turned slightly and put one hand on the back of Zhou Luoyang's chair as if he was hugging him. He tapped his fingers casually on the back of the chair and asked, "What did you think of?"

When looking at Du Jing, all of Zhou Luoyang's thoughts vanished, and he decided to trust him just like before.

"Nothing." Zhou Luoyang convinced himself.

Instead, Du Jing became puzzled. He rarely showed such a puzzled expression. When the two got along, most of the time they were very clear about what each other was thinking.

"They found it." Du Jing said solemnly.

The airport police found Supu who was locked in the bathroom, cleaned up the robbery scene, pulled up the alert, and began to adjust the monitoring.

Zhou Luoyang and Du Jing bowed their heads. Supu, who was not fully awake, was on the rack and staggered out of the bathroom. The police officer who interrogated Zhou Luoyang last time took him to the lounge. The police officer also held an oxygen mask to let him inhale oxygen.

When people began to patrol and questioned, and came towards them, Du Jing had no choice but to put his right hand on the dial of the Eye of Versetti. However, there was a scream in the distance, and the police officer who approached the two immediately turned his head.

There was a riot on the other side of the airport, and all the police officers rushed to it.

At the same time, when the announcement to board the plane was broadcast, Zhou Luoyang pulled up Du Jing after listening to the beginning and said, "Let's go!"

The guests looked at the direction the police officers were leaving. Zhou Luoyang and Du Jing squeezed to the front of the VIP boarding queue, and kept apologizing. Zhou Luoyang handed over his passport, his heart beat wildly, scanned the barcode, and boarded the plane smoothly.

When sitting down, Zhou Luoyang was still gasping for breath, while Du Jing was always staring at the hatch, holding the Eye of Versailles with one hand, ready to go back in time again.

"It should be fine." Zhou Luoyang whispered.

All the passengers came up, and when the cabin door was closing, one hand grabbed the edge of the cabin door, and a familiar figure appeared.

The man was carrying a backpack and glanced at Du Jing and Zhou Luoyang, his eyes unintentionally moved to Du Jing's watch, it was Huang Ting.

Du Jing had a calm expression and let go of his hand. Huang Ting nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

When the plane took off, Zhou Luoyang was really relieved. When he looked out, he found a police car parked on the ground. It was only a moment before the plane was intercepted.

The engine hummed, Du Jing asked the flight attendant for a blanket and handed it to Zhou Luoyang.

"Your company's treatment is good." Huang Ting came from the economy class and went to the bathroom in front of the business class.

"Give you an upgrade?" Du Jing glanced at Huang Ting, who waved his hand.

Du Jing got up and went to the flight attendant to upgrade Huang Ting.

Zhou Luoyang thought for a while, and realized that this was Du Jing's expression of gratitude. The riot that led the police away at the airport just now should have been a prank by Huang Ting.

"Thank you." Huang Ting nodded to the two of them.

Du Jing and Zhou Luoyang also said to Huang Ting, "Thank you."

It only took three hours for the international flight to Ho Chi Minh City, and the flight attendant had a late-night snack, and the three of them relaxed. Huang Ting turned on the in-flight entertainment system and started watching a movie.

"You said you would never lie to me." Zhou Luoyang suddenly said to Du Jing.

Du Jing adjusted the noise-cancelling headphones, was a little surprised when he heard this, turned his head and glanced at Zhou Luoyang.

"Occasionally, you will re-confirm some things that you have already affirmed in your heart. This kind of persistence is a bit like a girl." Du Jing replied, "Are you also insecure?"

Zhou Luoyang said displeasedly: "Don't talk about these things."

"But I like you so much," Du Jing said to himself again, "because it makes me feel that you are very dependent on me. I'll go to sleep first."

Du Jing put on the blindfold, Zhou Luoyang shook the partition of the business class seat a little, kept himself where he could see with his eyes open, and didn't disturb him any more. He knew that Du Jing needed to rest, and he had to deal with it very complicated after dawn. matter.

"You swear, you didn't lie to me."

"I swear, I will never cheat on my wife Zhou Luoyang."

One day many years ago, Du Jing was serious, holding a book in his left hand and raising three fingers in his right hand, and said to Zhou Luoyang.

Zhou Luoyang's response to this was incredulous: "Don't make trouble!"

That was the first and only time that Zhou Luoyang had asked Du Jing about his sexuality. Du Jing's response to this was: "I'm not gay."

Then Zhou Luoyang said this, and then, Du Jing's answer was "I swear I will never cheat on my wife Zhou Luoyang", Zhou Luoyang could not do anything about him.
