just in time

The photos were placed on the table.

"But he doesn't look like a bad guy." The little girl invited him to sit in a booth in the coffee shop.

The dark circles under the policeman's eyes looked heavier, and he took out a pen, "It doesn't mean that a good person is a good person."

He seemed to remember something, pursed his lips, "Of course, people who look bad are not necessarily bad."

The little girl was confused by his words, "Huh?"

"It's okay, I'm confused after staying up late." The policeman rubbed his brows vigorously, "Is there surveillance in the store?"

"Yes, in the back." The little girl stood up, "I'll take you there."

"Hey, don't you need to ask the boss?" The policeman couldn't help asking when he saw how straightforwardly she agreed.

"The boss is my mother." The little girl smiled and said, "I came here to help look after the shop during my vacation."

The policeman smiled, "So that's the case."

The surveillance video on the computer screen was very long, and it took me a while to find the video from last night.

He needed to copy the video, and asked her while waiting: "What's your name?"

"Zhao Qinghe." The little girl thought his statement was recorded, "This is a sophomore year, majoring in law, my mother is Zhao Fang, and there is an uncle named Huang Chu who is a lawyer. I was watching Korean dramas at home last night—"

"You don't need to be so detailed, I'm just asking casually."

Zhao Qinghe looked at him suspiciously.

The policeman laughed, "This trip is a private inquiry, but it is in accordance with the procedure. My name is Xu Chao, and I am a criminal policeman in the city bureau. This is my police number."

"Okay Officer Xu." Zhao Qinghe paused, still feeling a little sad, "Is he really a bad guy?"

Xu Chao recalled the information he got from the team safe, "I can't make a judgment yet, but—"

"I promised a person that no matter what, I will give him justice."

"I won't let him die unexplained."

The time on the surveillance video was rewinding rapidly, back to yesterday evening.

Yi Chenliang looked at the check and cash that Su Shengwen asked Zhou Ang to send on the table, as well as the new ID card. The boarding time on it was [-] o'clock in the middle of the night today, and the destination was Switzerland.

At this time, his mobile phone on the table rang suddenly.

He connected, it was Wan Hui.

"Ah Liang, are you leaving?" Wan Hui asked on the phone.

"Well, the plane is at twelve o'clock tonight." Yi Chenliang said.

"You worked so hard to get such a result, are you really willing?" Wan Hui asked.

Yi Chenliang took out a cigarette, pressed the lighter and lit it, "Otherwise?"

Winner and loser, he has nothing to say.

"Ah Liang, let's meet again." Wan Hui said on the phone, "Take it as farewell, and I have another gift for you."

Yi Chenliang pressed the lighter in his hand, staring at the dancing flames, "It's not necessary."

"Qinghe Cafe, six o'clock, see you there or leave." Wan Hui said, "If you don't come, I'll go find you in person."

At six o'clock in the evening in late autumn, a man in a gray woolen coat pushed open the door of the cafe.

Zhao Qinghe, who was cleaning the coffee machine, raised his head and was amazed by the handsome appearance of the other party, "Welcome."

Passers-by on the street outside the glass were in a hurry, the man ordered a cup of coffee and sat in the booth.

He picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip, looking out the window calmly.

In the evening, the sky was very dark, and thunder could be heard faintly in the distance.
