Zhao Yingtong took a sip of wine and smiled contentedly. He stretched out his arms, raised his head, and stretched his muscles.
In recent days, he has been busy with many cases and has rarely had time to relax.
Although Jiang Yuan's case has been closed, the strangeness in it made Zhao Yingtong, an experienced old police officer, smell something wrong. Zhao Yingtong saw the subtle connection between Xu Huanyan, Fan Li, Feng Shaowen, and Mao Ying, but he had no evidence. Zhao Yingtong was worried that he had fallen into a trap designed by others, but from the current situation, he could only turn a blind eye. Especially for Feng Shaowen's disappearance, he felt that many links did not make sense.
Many questions were still swirling in his head, and the new case brought him into a high-intensity work state.
The police station has received many missing cases one after another, most of which are missing women.
Zhao Yingtong also took over several of the cases. In his opinion, people mysteriously disappear every day, especially young women, who are easily deceived and elope with their lovers. However, under pressure from public opinion, the superiors are very strict about solving the cases, and all the police officers, regardless of their rank, are running around day and night to find people.
Zhao Yingtong, who was immersed in the case, woke up every day feeling dizzy and exhausted. He happened to meet Qi Mei tonight, and he felt particularly happy. The dark clouds hanging over his head seemed to be blown away by the wind. The gray in front of him turned into colorful colors. Qi Mei's black hair, red lips, purple cheongsam, white handbag and leather shoes were like a ray of strong light, shining into his eyes and stimulating his brain.
Why is this woman so exciting? Zhao Yingtong secretly wondered how wonderful it would be if he could see her every day.
Qi Mei saw Zhao Yingtong's enthusiasm for her, and she also understood that at their age, love is no longer fun. Real and real mutual affection is better than seizing the day for you to kiss me and for me to kiss you. Looking around, the love between men and women on the dance floor is you today, but it will be someone else tomorrow. Men and women who don't know the truth are struggling to survive in the short-term whirlpool created by love. In the end, who will be by your side?
Therefore, Qi Mei did not dodge Zhao Yingtong's hospitality. But she would not take the initiative to show her kindness. After all, Zhao Yingtong was far from the image of the lover in her heart. Over the years, there have been many men pursuing her, but it is difficult to find one who can really make her feel at ease and satisfied. The person in her heart should know and accompany her, just like the red walls and gold tiles in the palace, like the fish swimming in the cold water in the deep pool, relying on each other for their lives, walking hand in hand, sharing the warmth of the sun, and sharing the joy.
Soul mates, lips and teeth dependent on each other, may not be able to meet by chance after practicing for thousands of years. Your appearance will change, but your heart will not change. People who respect you, respect you, and love you will be sought after by everyone. With eyes full of handsome men and beautiful women, how many are the lucky ones?
Seeing Zhao Yingtong talking freely, Qi Mei's heart gradually warmed up. After all, no matter how arrogant a woman is, it is difficult to resist a hot sincerity.
"I read in the newspaper that there have been frequent disappearances recently. There are a lot of missing persons notices in the newspaper, and a reporter wrote an article called 'Black Missing Month.'" Qi Mei said.
"What is written in the newspaper is exaggerated. As far as I know, most of the missing people have been found. Some ran away from home, and some eloped with their lovers. It just happened that disappearance cases happened more frequently recently, so reporters continued to report on them, which made people panic. "
While talking, Qi Mei happened to see Qi Xuan and Luo Sai walking in from the door, walking around the dance floor and disappearing at the end of the corridor.
Qi Mei thought to herself that Xuan'er and Luo Sai were indeed together. She wanted to see what they were doing, so she said to Zhao Yingtong , " I'll go find Xuan'er and we'll talk some other time." As she said that, she gave him a deep smile.
Zhao Ying agreed but was still disappointed. Looking at Qi Mei's leaving figure, he felt very disappointed. He leaned back on the sofa, the dark clouds above his head drifting back again.
Just now, Luo Sai asked Xiaohua, who was on night shift, to drive Qian Yunqiao and Xiaotong home, while he and Qi Xuan went to the backyard of the club to find some peace and quiet.
He put his arm on Qi Xuan's shoulders and said with a smile , " I tested Qian Yunqiao for you just now. She really has you in her heart, and I think she will not give up until she achieves her goal, and will not look back until she hits the wall." Stubborn, you have to be mentally prepared. Don’t let a girl take the lead on the road to love. You have to take the initiative! "
Qi Xuan jumped on the front of a car disapprovingly, sat on it and smiled, saying , " My father and aunt always urged me to get married early, but the delay lasted for several years, and now I am still alone." . They are anxious to add more things to the family and want more children to play around in the house. Their original intention is good, and I can understand their feelings, but it is too difficult to find a lover they really like. "
He looked up at the starry sky, brushed the few strands of hair on his forehead to his head, and continued , " I am quite stubborn and have been domineering since childhood. It is not easy to get along with me for a long time. Girls are all I hope that men will love and care for them, but I worry that over time, they will be disappointed.”
Luo Daizui , " If we are together, we will be happy; if we are not, we will be separated. When it comes to separation and reunion, just go all out. The most important thing is to be worthy of your own heart and the heart of the other person. Since God wants you to meet, We should cherish this fate and go wherever we can. The road ahead is long and windy and difficult to walk, but we have to walk. We are not turtles and cannot shrink into our shells, so sometimes we have to. You have to make up your mind, fight for it, and face it. The outcome depends on luck. "
As he said that, he took out the cigarette from his pocket and just lit it. He suddenly remembered that Qi Xuan couldn't smell the smoke, so he immediately threw the cigarette on the ground and stamped it out with his foot.
Qi Xuan looked at Luo Sai, his eyes as gentle as the moon, and listened to him say , " If Xuanjing can really open the door to time and space, I want to go to the future and see our ending."
"What ending? A large family with many children and grandchildren?" Luo Sai laughed . " It seems so far-fetched just thinking about it."
They looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Tomorrow, which seems far away, connects our short lives. The sun rises and the moon sets, and flowers bloom and fade, but in the blink of an eye. This truth is so simple to understand, but few people really take it seriously.
At Qi Mei's age, she has almost reached the end of her life. Everything is within reach, and nothing is really far away. She hid at the door, spying on Qi Xuan and Luo Sai, and could vaguely hear some words. Watching the two chatting in the quiet night, Qi Mei realized that it was better for her to avoid them, so she returned to the corridor, leaned against the wall, and waited quietly.
After a while, Qi Xuan and Luo Sai opened the door and came in. As they walked through the corridor, they saw Qi Mei standing in front of them and stopped in unison.
"Aunt, why are you here?" Qi Xuan asked hurriedly.
"I made an appointment with a friend to catch up on old times. I saw you just now and wanted to wait for you to go home together." Qi Mei let out a little panic and smiled at them.
Rosé walked them to the gate and waved to the moving car.
Qi Mei was sitting in the car and said to Qi Xuan next to her , " I'm happy for you to meet a friend you really like."
"After getting along for a long time, you will also like him." Qi Xuan said.
He looked at the night scene outside the car window, waiting for Qi Mei's next words.
"Since you are friends, you have to remind him that his words and actions must conform to the definition of a friend. What he said at home that night was too frivolous and made me feel as if - as if you were his -" Qi Mei paused and couldn't continue.
Unexpectedly, Qi Xuan finished her words for her , " It seems like I am his lover. Is that what you mean?"
Qi Mei looked at Qi Xuan with a calm face in shock. The word "lover" made her tremble with fear.
"Absolutely, it makes me feel very uncomfortable anyway." Qi Mei said.
Qi Xuan turned his head and blinked, about to speak, but after waiting for a long time, he said , " We are brothers. I can do anything for him, and I believe he will treat me the same way. In this world, there is not only love between men and women, There will be deep feelings.”
"So, there is a deep relationship between you two." Qi Mei said with a smile , " How deep is it? Going through life and death? Going through fire and water?"
After hearing this, Qi Xuan blurted out , " No more."
"Isn't this enough? Is he more than that, or are you more than that?" Qi Mei said angrily , " Brothers can't just protect each other indiscriminately. There must be a sense of propriety in friendly interactions between friends. Two people. Being too close may not be a good thing. If you treat him as a brother or a friend, wouldn't you feel embarrassed if he is not as innocent as you think? "
Qi Mei had already said it very cryptically. She was reminding Qi Xuan not to deviate from the track, not to be led by a man, and end up regretting it for the rest of his life. Living in the smoky world, she had never seen the love affairs between men with her own eyes, but she had heard of them. Qi Xuan has been sensible since she was a child and has always been successful. She is extremely worried that Qi Xuan will fall into trouble because of careless friendships. When the time comes, once she falls and breaks her head and bleeds, her heart will be shattered to pieces.
Qi Xuan just smiled coldly and looked at the busy street outside the car. The moonlight shines on the passing crowd, filling the air with faint clear shadows. He was not sure where the next road would lead. He just hoped that he could walk with peace of mind.
Lian Xiaotian listened to the conversation between the two of them, half-understanding, half-understanding, holding the steering wheel in hand, and drove towards home.
Early the next morning, Xu Huanyan picked up her purse and left Fan Li's villa, walking alone on the road, planning to meet someone.
The person she wants to date is Chen Xue, a down-and-out lady and former rich lady. Because his father's business failed, he was left to live in the house of his uncle with his younger brother who was still in school.
Chen Xue's uncle has an average family background and lives in an old residential area. Due to his work, his uncle was often away from home on business trips, so the two siblings lived with their aunt. My aunt has no children, but she likes Chen Xue's younger brother very much, but she can't stand Chen Xue's spoiled nature. The two always quarrel over trivial things. But Chen Xue didn't want to live with her parents at her grandma's house. She couldn't stand listening to the old man's nagging every day. So she tried her best to endure it and tried to find ways to make her aunt happy.
Originally, she hoped to get married quickly so that she could escape the misery and live a comfortable life. Unexpectedly, things in the world are unpredictable. Her fiancé was afraid of marriage and kept putting off the marriage. As a result, the fiancé also delayed his life. The dream of getting married that she had been looking forward to was finally over.
In fact, Xu Huanyan had already inquired about Chen Xue's information and address. Because of Jiang Yuan's case, the police had been keeping an eye on her, so they took no further action. Now that Jiang Yuan's case has been settled, she can fly out of the birdcage like a dove and do whatever she wants.
The reason why she never forgets Chen Xue is because of Chen Xue's special status - Jiang Yuan's fiancée. This woman made Jiang Yuan reluctant to give up. He would rather give up Wei Yingying than leave her. Xu Huanyan was curious and was unwilling to go with her for a while. So, as a writer, she invited Chen Xue to learn the story about Jiang Yuan from her so as to write a detective novel. All done, thank you very much.
When Chen Xue needed money, she heard that someone wanted to interview her, so she dressed up carefully. She stood on the steps in front of the church square, waiting for Xu Huanyan's arrival.After going round and round, Xu Huanyan still couldn't escape the shadow of her daughter's death. All her actions and thoughts were driven by her daughter's death, going in circles with no way out.As she walked, she felt as if there were lead weights tied to her feet, making her walk heavy. Not only her feet, but also her heart seemed to be pressed by stones, making her feel uncomfortable. However, after seeing Chen Xue, all her discomfort dissipated instantly, and a huge air flow rose in her body, as if a hand was pushing her forward, and a voice was awakening her resentment. Xuan Jing's dark energy was causing trouble in her body, amplifying her already uneasy negative emotions. She made a fighting stance and vowed to eat Chen Xue alive."I'm Xu Huanyan. I'm glad to
Half a month later, Xiao Hei went to the Pearl Hotel to find Qi Xuan and told him that the jade ring was in sight.Originally, it was not easy to find a small thing in Jiangcheng. It was a coincidence that a boy from Yuan Xinzhai had a clue.Yuan Xin Zhai is well-known in Jiangcheng for its pastries. Not only does it now make and sell delicious Chinese pastries, it is also a branch of Maoying. The boy selling pastries was a member of Maoying. He was busy wrapping gift boxes in the store that day, and a customer walked in and planned to buy some shortbread cookies.I remember that this guest boy was a regular customer and often came to take care of their business. So the little waiter enthusiastically packed snacks for the guest. When the guest reached out to hand over the money, the little waiter's eyes flashed and he happened to see the ring on the guest's hand. The boy really didn't notice it before, but this time his eyes were attracted by the ring and he
Police officer Xiao Zhou happened to pass by this store. He was hungry, so he also went into the store to eat noodles. Seeing Qi Xuan and Luo Sai, he smiled and went to sit with them.After dealing with each other several times, they were already familiar with each other. Qi Xuan asked what Xiao Zhou was busy with, and Xiao Zhou told them about the recent high number of disappearances, which had forced everyone to work overtime and become seriously exhausted. Coupled with such a workaholic leader like Zhao Yingtong, they were so tired that they fell asleep. I can fall asleep on the table."I'm investigating a missing woman nearby. Have you read the newspaper? The daughter of the president of Rende Hospital has disappeared, and Detective Zhao happens to be in charge of this case."Xiao Zhou chatted with them and told them what happened.At first, the dean thought that his daughter was only temporarily away from home for a few days. Unexpectedly, there w
"Do you need me to accompany you?"Facing the seductive look from the woman, Xiao Zhou's face turned red. He calmed his frantic heartbeat, held up the photo and said , " Actually, I'm looking for someone. Have you seen this girl?"The woman looked at the photo and said with a smile , " I've seen it before! She doesn't come here often, but I have chatted with her. She is pretty, can talk, and is quite likable.""Then have you seen her recently? I can't find her no matter how hard I look these days.""I've seen it before, oops, I can't remember clearly. Just let me reminisce." As she said that, the woman really thought about it seriously for a long time.After a long time, the woman did not speak. Xiao Zhou stood aside and waited obediently."I feel like I have seen this little brother before, but I also feel like I have never seen him before. Do you think I have seen him before, or have I never seen him before?"Xiao Zhou thought to hi
Along the way, Luo Sai felt both sympathetic and disgusted with Xu Huanyan's behavior. She once suspected that she was suffering from severe mental and psychological illness because of the loss of her beloved daughter."If I have a chance to see her, I really want to give her a good advice. She is the most suspected in Jiang Yuan's case, but she escaped with the help of Fan Li. Don't do any irrational behavior again, harming others and yourself. ." Qi Xuan said.Luo Sai thought to himself, it would be better for you not to meet Xu Huanyan. After all, Xu Huanyan knew Luo Sai's life experience. If he leaked the information in front of Qi Xuan, Qi Xuan would definitely They would blame him for hiding the truth, and even doubt the purpose of his friendship with him.When Yue Xin saw Qi Xuan coming, she happily went up to him and said , " Master Qi, if you haven't been working hard recently, you often come to the club to hang out. Don't affect the grand plan of t
The police station at night was no longer noisy and restless. Zhao Yingtong was leaning on the sofa in the office, smoking a cigarette and reading the newspaper.He didn't take the suspicious person Li Shu seriously. It is somewhat understandable for a single man to have unbearable lust and just find a woman.He flipped through the newspaper and happened to see Li Shu's column, which was a love story. Zhao Yingtong read a few lines, but couldn't read any more, so he flipped through it to see if there was any interesting news. When he turned around, he accidentally saw a missing person notice:Sister Xiaoyu, since you left without saying goodbye, my cousin has been thinking about you very much. I hope my sister will understand my cousin's feelings and keep in touch with him.Zhao Yingtong repeated the words "sister Xiaoyu" and "cousin" several times. These words caught his attention. He is looking for Meng Yu, and the "cousin" in the newspaper is lookin
Rossay was walking along the corridor toward the back door of the club. His hand holding the car keys suddenly stopped, and he was stunned for a few seconds, then turned around and ran back like clockwork.He chased them to the gate and stopped Yue Xin and the woman."Your name is Cheng Xiaoling?" Luo Sai frowned and said to the woman."Yes, my name is Cheng Xiaoling.""Is your father the director of Rende Hospital?""That's right."Rosé clapped his hands together excitedly, making a crisp sound. The crowd searched for him thousands of times, but suddenly looking back, he found that man in a dimly lit place. It turned out that Cheng Xiaoling slept all night under his nose.He told her that everyone was looking for her."Your family is very anxious." Luo Sai criticized sternly , " You just left without any news. It's so irresponsible. Have you ever considered your parents' feelings?"Cheng Xiaoling stared aggrievedly, and i
Zhao Yingtong was also confused by the questions raised by Qi Xuan and Luo Sai. However, he quickly focused on the missing person notice Li Shu published in the newspaper. He believed that the "Sister Xiaoyu" mentioned in the article was Meng Yu. Li Shu did not leave his name or contact information in the newspaper, and his words were very cryptic.Zhao Yingtong lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said to everyone , " If you read such a missing person article, do you know who published it? Who is the missing person? There is no detailed information. Others It’s hard to understand, and it’s impossible to help find this cousin named ‘Xiaoyu’.”Yes, there are countless women named Xiaoyu in Jiangcheng. Readers of the newspaper want to help find someone, but they don’t know where to start.Qi Xuan continued , " There is only one possibility. This missing person notice is not for the general readers, but is specially sent to this 'Xiaoyu'. After reading it, 'Xiaoyu
