withered color

On New Year's Eve at 05:30 in the morning, I was tired of walking the dog downstairs at home.

It dawned very late in winter, and he opened his mouth wide at 05:30 a.m. in the darkness of night, yawned, and stroked his overgrown hair down twice to keep his ears from freezing.

Statement wears a pair of black gloves.When he raised his hand and put it down again, a slender scar that could not be concealed came out of the glove like a snake.

This seemed to be the owner of the photo inserted at the murder scene last night.Cold white skin, phoenix eyes, and slender eyebrows, even the curly wolf-tailed hair that looks like instant noodles is exactly the same.

But of course he didn't know that he had been listed as the next target by the murderer.If he had known, of course he wouldn't have come out to walk the dog leisurely in the dark early morning.

The border shepherd he was leading wagged his tail, turned his head, and looked at him with vigor, as if his energy was useless.

Chen Yan looked down at it with a sleepy face, and sighed again with a headache.

Today is New Year's Eve, a very festive day, but it obviously has nothing to do with his statement.

He was alone again—with a dog.

The dog he was leading obviously hadn't been walked enough, and he went on walking again——As a sedentary painter at home, his motor cells were infinitely close to zero, and he didn't have much energy every time he came out.Rather than saying that he came out to walk the dog, it would be better to say that the dog came out to take him for a walk.

With Bian Mu's IQ, it is indeed more than enough to take him out for a walk, basically every day can be arranged clearly for him.

Waking up early in winter is really tormenting, and Chen Yan couldn't help but yawned again.

After walking a few steps forward, a police car approached in the distance with its lights on, and soon came from far to near, whizzing past Statement Han.Although it didn't turn on the siren, it seemed to be in a hurry.

Statement Yan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help looking back, until it disappeared from his sight, and then paused in place for several seconds.

He kept looking in the direction where the police car disappeared, as if the car was still there and never disappeared.

——After so many years, he couldn't help but look at a police car every time he saw it.

The reason is because of his ex-boyfriend.

Xu Liangyun, the ex-boyfriend of Chen Yan, is a policeman.To be more precise, Xu Liangyun was a special police officer in the memory of Yan Yan.

He is not now.

But going forward, when Chen Yan first met him, he was not a special police officer, but a police student.

It's a bit incoherent to say this, but there is no way, after all, they have been in love for five years.

Five years is a long time, five 360 ​​five days five rounds of four seasons, enough to engrave a person in the heart, bones and soul.So when Xu Liangyun was mentioned, Chen Yan's mind was in a mess, and he could think of everything.

——It's far away.Xu Liangyun was a special police officer in Chen Yan's memory, but he is not anymore.

After the two broke up, Chen Yan still kept the contact information of Xu Liangyun's friends.Looking at the follow-up updates of their circle of friends, it seems that Xu Liangyun changed his job to become a criminal policeman after the breakup, and he flourished in the five years after the breakup, and is now a captain of the criminal police team, living a prosperous life.

But obviously, this is the same as the fact that New Year's Eve is a festive day, and has nothing to do with statement disgust.

It's none of his business that the hands are separated, whether that bastard is going to be a criminal police officer or a highland security guard has nothing to do with him.

After a while, Chen Yan looked away, turned around and let the dog lead him for a walk.

Chen Yan was walked by the dog for more than ten minutes, and then the phone in his pocket buzzed.

The statement is inexplicable, it's New Year's Eve, and it's not yet dawn, who could call him at this time?

What's wrong?

No matter how he thought, he felt that the person who called him was sick, but he still took the phone out of his pocket and took a look.

A series of numbers that I don't know at all.

He thought it was some very dedicated liar, so he hung up directly.

After being led by the dog for half a minute, the phone rang again.

Statement tired and hung up again.

The phone rang again.

He hangs up again.

The phone rings again.

The statement was tired and helpless, so he had no choice but to pick it up: "Hello?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone, only the wind blowing in the city could be heard, so that there was a suffocating sound of wind coming from the phone, it sounded inexplicably as if someone was breathing hard.

Chen Yan thought it was a bad signal from the other side, so he waited patiently for a while.But after a long time, there was no response, only the muffled wind blowing on the opposite side.

He had no choice but to say "Hello?" to the opposite side again.

Still no response.

……what.

Statement wear is even more inexplicable.He moved the phone away from his ear, thinking that the current harassing calls are really dedicated, and they started harassing simple people at 05:30 in the morning on New Year's Eve.

Just when he was about to reach out and hang up the phone, finally, there was a rustling sound from the other side of the phone, which overshadowed the howling of the wind.

The rustling sound was a rush of hands and feet, and the other side seemed to be in a panic, jamming the phone.

The statement was so tired of hearing that he was speechless, and reached out to press to hang up.

But a very familiar voice suddenly came from the other side of the phone.The voice hated iron and steel very much, and cursed very hard, "Fuck you fucking idiot" - upon hearing this voice, the hand that was tired of pressing the hang up button suddenly stopped.

It didn't take long for this long-lost voice to talk on the phone after a while of scrambling on the other side of the phone.

"Hey, are you tired of presentations?"

The statement was taken aback.

He was a little unable to react, and after holding the phone in a daze for a while, he put the phone back on his ear embarrassingly, and tentatively called out, "Teacher Zhong?"

If his memory is correct, the voice on the phone is none other than the psychological consultant in the police force, a brilliant student of criminal psychology who returned from studying abroad, and it is a man named Zhong Tang.Too high a degree, too ruthless to speak, and layer upon layer of routines, anyone who sees them has to call a teacher.

As the saying goes, the more popular the name, the more ruthless the work.

Zhong Tang, who was a hot-named fan, laughed twice and said, "It's me or me, uh...well, you went out? Where are you?"

"...Come out for a walk with the dog." Chen Yan said, "It's near home, what's wrong?"

"That...you don't move! I'll call someone to pick you up now! Go to VX and share your real-time location with me!"

Statements: "..."

Chen Yan turned back silently, looked at the fastest way to go back, which only took 10 minutes, and said, "No need, it will be very difficult for me to walk home..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhong Tang immediately interrupted him: "No, no, no! You must not move there! You stand where the surveillance can see it, and find a brighter place - under the streetlight! Yes Yes, find a place under a street lamp! Just wait there! Hurry up and get on VX!"

Statement Yan felt baffled again, but he knew that Zhong Tang was doing things reasonably.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "Is something wrong?"

"Something happened." Zhong Tang didn't hide it from him, and said unambiguously, "You go home and talk slowly, we are in your community, I will find someone to bring you back first."

Statement Yan was a little confused, but he obediently agreed, and then hung up the phone.

He looked around, obediently found a very conspicuous street light within the monitoring range, stood still, and got on the vx.

His dog seemed to sense something, whimpered and rubbed against his leg twice, and then lay down beside his leg.

Statement Yan smiled slightly at it.

He got on vx, Zhong Tang was faster than him, he had already sent him a full stop, and then initiated location sharing.

The statement was tired and clicked in.

Then, he stood there obediently and waited.

Early in the morning, this incident made him a little psychedelic.A police officer who hadn't seen him for five years suddenly called him, and he was still at Zhong Tang's level.

As soon as the police were mentioned, Chen Yan couldn't help thinking of Xu Liangyun.As a result, Xu Liangyun's name began to occupy his mind once again involuntarily and domineeringly.I don't know if it's because he's self-indulgent or if it's true, but Chen Yan always feels that something is going to happen between him and Xu Liangyun.

But they talked for five years, and they split up for another five years.Five years can engrave a person in the heart, and can also dig a person out.

Therefore, the dissatisfaction with the statement is not exciting at all, and I don't have any feelings, I just feel psychedelic like a dream but not a dream.

He leaned against the street lamp to blow cold wind in the early morning of nearly six o'clock, half awake and half dazed, thinking that this matter was so nonsense.

It's been five years, fuck it.

Don't bother me.

Soon, in less than 5 minutes, a police car drove over with its siren sounding.

The car slowly stopped in front of him, the window of the co-pilot was rolled down, and Zhong Tang's face appeared in front of Chen Yan after five years.

He is much more mature than before, the square-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose have been replaced with gold-framed ones, and the circles around his eyes are dark, as if he has stayed up all night.

"Morning, good Chinese New Year, long time no see." With a haggard face, Zhong Tangqiang finished his five-year-long greeting to the statement, and said, "Hurry up and take you home. "

Standing in front of the car, Chen Yan blinked, confused for a moment, answered twice, and carried the dog into the car.

It wasn't Zhong Tang who drove the car, but a face with a disgusted expression, a policeman he had never seen before, and he didn't know if he was new here or just never seen it before.

After getting in the car, Zhong Tang turned his head, smiled and said to Chen Yan, "I'm sorry, what happened is too big, I don't feel relieved to let you go home alone."

Chen Yan blinked, and said "Ah—" in a somewhat unclear drawn out voice: "What happened?"

"Go back to your house and tell me the details. There are a lot of things." Zhong Tang said, "We went to your house and knocked on the door, but no one was there-is there no one else in your house? Girlfriend or boyfriend?"

"……No."

Zhong Tang's conversation had come to this point, and Chen Yan knew what he was going to ask, so he said: "But I don't see Xu Liangyun, he is not welcome in my family."

Zhong Tang knew that he would be like this, so he didn't say much, and laughed again: "I know, I know, he said it too, and he will avoid suspicion, so we are here to pick you up."

The statement pouted.

You see, it really has something to do with that dead man Xu Liangyun.

The statement hated Xu Liangyun to death.

He will always remember that day five years ago.It was a gloomy day, and it was raining muggily.Chen Yan came out of the ICU with injuries all over his body. The injuries on his body were still not fully healed, and there were bursts of dull pain like a fire slowly burning on his body——Xu Liangyun gave him a breakup call in this situation.

He broke up with him in a desolate voice, hung up after finishing speaking, and did not listen to his further words.

Then, Xu Liangyun moved out of the house, unplugged the phone card, and then skipped work for more than half a year, completely disappeared in the world of statement-weariness, and just broke up with cold violence.

He couldn't react to the disgust of the statement, he was left alone in the world, half of the things in the house were lost, and the hairy child lost a father, and he was completely blacked out by Xu Liangyun.

Damn, Xu Liangyun is such an idiot.

The statement hates his cold violence, but the dog doesn't hate him.

When Bian Mu heard Xu Liangyun's name, his eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth to bark twice—after all, Xu Liangyun and Zhang Yan brought it back from the kennel together, and brought it up together with painstaking efforts.

The statement stared at it tiredly: "Shut up."

Bian Mu became wilted, lay down, whimpered, and didn't dare to say anything more.

The distance was very short, the car soon drove to the downstairs of Zhang Yan's house, and Zhong Tang got out of the car with him.At the door, a young criminal policeman who looked like he was only in his early twenties was standing there guarding.

Seeing Zhong Tang come down, the criminal policeman's eyes tightened, and he straightened his back quickly: "Teacher Zhong!"

"Good job."

Zhong Tang said hello, then turned around and put on a statement hat, and asked casually, knowingly, "Is your home still on the 9th floor?"

Chen Yan nodded: "It's troublesome, I haven't moved - haven't you been to the door?"

Zhong Tang laughed twice: "Just ask."

Chen Yan didn't say anything, and entered the building one after the other with Zhong Tang.

The figure quickly disappeared at the door.

After the two entered the building, someone rolled down the window of the driver's car in a white car on the other side, and lingering smoke rushed out of it, rushing into the air and dispersing into nothingness.

Then, a hand that was so skinny and knuckle stretched out, and knocked on the car door twice.

The criminal police guarding the door of the building heard the sound and ran over quickly.

He ran to the car window, bent down, and was about to say something, but was choked by the smoke.

The car was filled with smoke. As soon as the criminal policeman opened his mouth, he passively inhaled the second-hand smoke and couldn't help coughing twice. He couldn't even see Xu Liangyun's face clearly for a while, and he didn't know how much he smoked just now.

The criminal policeman waited for half a minute before yelling hoarsely in a pile of smoke: "Captain Xu, what's wrong?"

Xu Liangyun sat in the car, didn't answer for a while, with a slowly burning cigarette in his mouth, looking at the door of the building where Zhang Yan and Zhong Tang had just walked in together, he saw a god, and didn't know what he was thinking.

The lingering smoke couldn't disperse for a while, and even the criminal policeman standing by the car window waiting for him to speak couldn't see his eyes clearly.
