Please don't stick to Officer Qi [criminal investigation]

The wind on the roof is very cold, and the cold air is stirring the corners of the clothes.After so many years, Jiangcheng has changed a lot, and there is already a feeling that things are right and people are wrong.Because of power saving, the neon lights on the roof in the distance are no longer lit up, and the ostentatious store name has been changed several times, and even the moonlight is much dimmer and more bleak than before.

Xie Yan was sitting on the guardrail of the roof, casually dangling his feet in mid-air.

"Here we come." Seeing the door being pushed open, Xie Yan turned around and faced Qi Lin, "I knew you could find it here, it seems that you found that business card."

"It's hard not to know your good intentions." Qi Lin said sarcastically, "Even if you don't throw away that business card, I can still find it here."

"Oh, I know you're smart," Xie Yan tilted his head, looking past Qi Lin, "You're the only one here?"

"Is it not enough for me alone?"

"Then you really underestimated me." Xie Yan laughed twice, and jumped off the guardrail, "Haven't you suffered too much from me?"

"You're obviously not much better." Qi Lin raised his eyebrows and looked towards the corner of the rooftop.There was a plastic bag, and next to it were piles of finished snack wrappers and two unopened cans of beer.

"That's what you bought?" he asked.

Xie Yan took a look and remained silent.

Qi Lin took it as Xie Yan's default.

He walked to the side of the plastic bag, picked up two cans of beer with one hand, rolled the cans around twice in his hand, and after making sure there were no pinholes, he threw one of the cans to Xie Yan.

Originally, the hatred for Xie Yan in my heart was definitely not to the point where I could sit and drink together, but now that I really saw Xie Yan standing in front of me, the hatred in my heart turned into curiosity.

Once in bed, Qi Lin asked Shi Le why he liked him so much.

Shi Le said that he liked Qi Lin from the first sight, and there was no reason.

At that time, Qi Lin replied to him that there will be no love for no reason in this world.

Even now, this conclusion remains unchanged.

There is no gratuitous hate in this world.Even if it's natural love or love at first sight, it's the first impression that's at work.

With the development of the incident, the curiosity in Qi Lin's heart became more and more vigorous.He was very curious about what kind of experience Xie Yan hated him for, and what his father had done to him that made him have such a deep obsession.

"Drink." Qi Lin nodded and said to Xie Yan.

Xie Yan firmly caught the wine Qi Lin threw over, "It looks like the wine you bought."

"It doesn't matter." Qi Lin pulled the tab open, raised his head and took a big gulp.

Placed on the roof, the beer has long been blown cold, and at such a low temperature, it is no different from frozen.

After drinking the cold industrial beer, the bitterness is masked by the cold.

Xie Yan put the beer aside and didn't drink it.

"Drink some, isn't it just for drinking when you buy it?" Qi Lin moved two chairs from the side, threw one to Xie Yan, and sat down on the other.

Only then did Xie Yan smile, pull the ring away, and took a small sip.

"I really didn't expect that we could still sit and drink together." Xie Yan laughed at himself, "If people saw it, they would think we have a good relationship."

"I think we have a good relationship." Qi Lin shrugged, "After fighting for so long, it's not like a normal friendship can last." He took a sip of wine, "Let me think about it, from the beginning of time to the present, It's been four years."

Qi Lin stared straight into Xie Yan's eyes.

Xie Yan cleverly avoided Qi Lin's gaze.

"Officer Qi is really good at wronging people." Xie Yan smiled awkwardly, "The matter of your roommate has nothing to do with me. Who knows why he went crazy and thought of such a method of suicide."

"Didn't you hint?" Qi Lin said calmly, "How could I remember that you sent flowers to the hotel, Su Xing Rose."

"At that time, such imported flowers were so expensive that I was reluctant to use them for layout." Xie Yan straightened his back and leaned on the back of the chair, "I sent that bouquet to my adoptive parents' family, and my father came to see it. Me, I lived in that hotel, and I sent it over. But my father said that he didn’t receive the flowers that night, so it must have been your roommate who took them.”

Xie Yan shook his head, "What a lunatic."

Qi Lin choked: "You don't seem to have the right to call others crazy."

"?" Xie Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled relievedly: "Indeed, I didn't refute the fact that I'm a lunatic—the other side of a genius is a lunatic."

Genius indeed.He was able to persuade almost all the people who cooperated with him not to confess him, and no one knew how to grasp other people's psychology better than him.

"I have a question," Qi Lin asked, "How did you convince others to keep your identity a secret? Threats? Or lures?"

"Well..." Xie Yan waved a finger in front of his face, "I need you to answer me a question first."

"Really know how to make a deal," Qi Lin fought secretly in his heart, and then agreed to Xie Yan's information exchange.

Xie Yan asked, "Who betrayed me?"

He was referring to the flight thing.

Qi Lin didn't rush to answer him, "What do you think?"

"Wang Bai." Xie Yan didn't even think about it, or he had thought about it thousands of times on the road, and then gave his own guess.

Facts have proved that his guess is very accurate, but Qi Lin doesn't want him to feel that his guess is so accurate.

After hearing Xie Yan's speculation, Qi Lin asked back: "Why don't you guess Xiao Yuxuan?"

The implication is to guide Xie Yan, "You should guess Xiao Yuxuan."

But Xie Yan is very confident in himself, and also very confident in Xiao Yuxuan.He said, "Because it is absolutely impossible to be Xiao Yuxuan."

This reaction surprised Qi Lin.After a while, he realized that he was a little aggrieved, "Do you know that Xiao Yuxuan likes you?"

An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Xie Yan's mouth.

"You are really not human." Qi Lin cut Xie Yan's eyes twice, "Obviously knowing that he likes you, you let someone die for you."

"It's none of my business." Feeling Qi Lin's unkind eyes, Xie Yan stared back, "It's her business that she likes it, not mine. Besides, do you think you are a good person? You clearly know that the little girl next to you It would be dangerous for the police to be with you, but they still kept him by their side selfishly."

Xie Yan was right, Qi Lin did have selfish thoughts at the time.During that time, he only briefly persuaded himself to leave Shile, but the last selfish thought was to keep Shile by his side.

He wants to possess him.

Qi Lin took another sip of wine with a sullen head.

Seeing that Qi Lin was silent, Xie Yan continued: "But don't be too sad, after all, this kind of thing has genetic factors. In this regard, you and your father are quite similar."

On the surface it is comforting, but in fact it is naked ridicule.

Qi Lin was immediately ignited.

"What did my dad do to you?"

"Your father... is really an amazing man." Xie Yan's face was filled with an indelible smile.He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the siren in the distance interrupted his words.

"Oh, you called the police." Xie Yan looked into the distance, the moonlight outlined his indifferent jawline.

"You don't look surprised."

"I'll be surprised if you don't call the police." Xie Yan said.

"What are you going to do next? You can't escape from this closed rooftop." Qi Lin moved to the door and blocked Xie Yan's retreat.

If you want to break out by force, Xie Yan is definitely not Qi Lin's opponent.

But Xie Yan said, "Who told you I was going to run away?"

He took out his pocket and stuffed a dark red thing into his palm.

Qi Lin didn't see clearly and squinted.

But Xie Yan didn't give Qi Lin a chance to see clearly.He raised his hand and put the thing in his mouth.

Now, you don't need to see clearly to know what it is.

It was a rose, a dark red awakening rose.

"Thank you!" Qi Lin realized what Xie Yan wanted to do.He took a step forward to grab Xie Yan, but Xie Yan had already climbed onto the guardrail.

"Don't come here." Xie Yan stopped Qi Lin who was approaching him step by step, "You won, I can't beat you, I was almost lucky."

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and leaned back, his body submerged in the vast night.

The wind blows the stars and confiscates a piece of moonlight.

Xie Yan is falling.He thought that if he could use the same method to plant the seeds of nightmares in Qi Lin again, it might be another kind of success.

As... as payback for the nightmare of my own childhood.

He closed his eyes, quietly waiting for the arrival of the last moment of life.

However, the expected severe pain did not come as expected, only the wrist seemed to be grabbed.

Raising his head, it was Qi Lin in front of him.

Qi Lin was lying on the guardrail, one hand tightly grasped the guardrail, and the other tightly grasped Xie Yan's wrist.

"Don't try to repeat the old trick." Qi Lin's mouth was filled with a smile, "I will not let you fall anyway, you have to accept the punishment of the law, instead of dying according to your wish like this."

"Let go!" Xie Yan who was held back didn't want Qi Lin's rescue at all.He twisted his body, trying to break free from Qi Lin's hand.

But Qi Lin's hands were so tight that he grabbed Xie Yan's arm with red marks.

It is impossible to let go, but Xie Yan's will to survive is too weak, coupled with the constant struggle, it is good not to be torn off, Qi Lin can't pull Xie Yan up at all.

Fortunately, the lying posture made the envelope in his pocket press against Qi Lin's waist.

He carefully adjusted his posture, and after making sure that the center of gravity would not change, he carefully let go of the hand holding the guardrail, took out the letter that Xiao He had given him from his pocket, opened the opening, and threw off the envelope.

"Thank you," he said, "This is Xiaohe's letter to you, do you want to listen to it?"

Xie Yan struggled less and less.

"It's the Xiaohe you want to rescue." Qi Lin said, "I saw him in the port area before, and he said that he has something to say to you, and I hope I can give you this letter. "

After finishing speaking, he tentatively asked, "Do you want to read it?"

The words of thanks obviously hesitated for a few seconds.He lowered his head and looked at the void under his feet, "Read."

Qi Lin cleared his throat and began to read.

……

See literally:

I haven't read any books, and I can't write any beautiful words. I certainly can't compare with those famous books you have read, but every word of this letter comes from my heart.

Brother Mo, no, I should ask you to thank me.Although I don't know why you hide your identity from me, I think you must have your reasons.The police said, you came from the port because of me, because of your disturbed life experience, so you want to take care of me and help me find my real mother.

Ms. Ye Hui, I plan to visit her another day.I don't know how to speak, but I should.When I went to send her flowers, I could feel that she was a very gentle person.

Thank u.If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have noticed the 20 years of forgotten, abandoned, tampered and hidden.

The police also said that you have done a lot of bad things and they are going to catch you.I trust the police and I trust you.You may have done bad things, but you are definitely not a complete bad person.

Come back, bro.

In addition, the attached letter is the money you lent me, and I will return it to you.

……

"Where is he?" Xie Yan raised his eyes and stared straight at Qi Lin.

"Waiting for you in Qingcheng."

Hearing this, Xie Yan's eyes dimmed a bit.

"I can't go back," he said.

Qi Lin blinked.

"If you come up, I'll bring him to meet you."

Xie Yan didn't reply, but the strength of his fingertips was enough to explain everything.

Taking advantage of this opening, Qi Lin quickly pulled Xie Yan up, but the hand had already become numb due to long-term exertion, and even his arm had turned black and blue.He quickly grabbed Xie Yan with the other hand, and then he stabilized.

However, the loss of physical strength has nothing to do with the number of hands. After holding Xie Yan for so long, Qi Lin's physical strength has already been exhausted.

Time passed in this push and pull.Qi Lin's footsteps became softer and softer, and Xie Yan's body became heavier and heavier.

"Forget it, let me go." Xie Yan said, "Although I am more happy to be able to pull you down, I still want you to help me send a message to Xiao He."

"What are you talking about? I will definitely pull you up." Qi Lin gritted his teeth, trying to focus his body backwards to no avail.

This is a dilemma.

His feet gradually became unstable, and his hands trembled a little.Qi Lin understood that he would not be able to save Xie Yan by himself.

Consciousness wanders between renunciation and persistence, and morality wanders between guidelines and responsibilities.

In the end, it was the choice that Shi Le interrupted.

Sure enough, Shi Le still didn't listen to Qi Lin's words. He has always been a disobedient child, and this time is no exception.

He has been lying outside the door listening to the movement of the rooftop.After hearing the abnormal quietness and knowing that something was wrong, he rushed to the rooftop, ran to Qi Lin's side, helped hold Xie Yan's hand, and pulled Xie Yan up.

"Senior, are you okay?" Shi Le didn't worry about whether Xie Yan would run away at all, he was only worried about Qi Lin's blue arm.

Shi Le squeezed Qi Lin's arm, groping and asking little by little.

Qi Lin himself didn't feel the pain, but was tired, simply tired.The arm is now a little sore and swollen due to the long-term blood stasis, and it is numb as if there is no left hand.

"I'm fine, go and look at Xie Yan." Qi Lin waved his other free hand, instead of looking at Shile, he looked at Xie Yan.

Xie Yan showed no sign of running away.He should also know that he can't escape.

Shi Le hastily followed Qi Lin's gaze to glance at Xie Yan, curled his lips, and then turned his gaze back to Qi Lin who was sitting slumped on the ground, complaining, "You say you're fine with your hand like this, who will believe it?"

"Then what should I do?" Qi Lin teased him.

This tease made Shi Le even more resentful.

"Really, how do I know what to do? It's you who told me not to come in, and I had to prepare for a long time."

The more he talked, the more aggrieved he became, for fear that Qi Lin would amputate just like that.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the police and doctors that Shile called to come. After checking Qi Lin's hand, the doctors found that there was no serious problem, so they took him to the ambulance.

Shi Le also wanted to go up, but the doctors drove him down.

"It's okay, I'm fine, the doctor said it's a minor problem, you go." Qi Lin said to Shi Le while sitting in the ambulance.Then, he gave Shi Le the envelope in his hand, "This is Xiao He's letter to Xie Yan, let him have a look."

"Well, you have to be well, and call me when you feel pain."

Shi Le reluctantly accepted the letter and boarded the police car where Xie Yan was detained.Looking at the tears of grievance in the corner of Shi Le's eyes, Qi Lin wanted to say something to him again, but the emergency personnel had already closed the door of the ambulance, leaving only a small gap.

From this gap, Qi Lin saw Shi Le.

Same as back then.

He still saw his entire world through the narrow gap, but this time it was no longer a glimpse.

This glance is the long years to come.
