night escape

Chapter 57

This sudden tacit understanding made the two of them embarrassed for a few seconds, as if they were thinking about whether to follow up with each other, but neither of them spoke.

Xie Li Xu didn't expect Liang Ye to ask him this, and he swallowed the shrimp meat unconsciously before he took a few bites, a little stuffy, he quickly took a sip of beer before swallowing the meat.

Liang Ye noticed his movements and asked again: "Are you nervous?"

"No." Xie Li said calmly, "It was just an accident."

"Then answer me first." Liang Ye was full, and sat facing Xie Li with his face propped up, waiting patiently for Xie Li's answer.

It has been ten years since Xie Li was separated. What Xie Li has experienced in these ten years, how many friends he has made, what kind of work he has done, and where he has been to... He wants to know about all those years that he has not participated in.

Xie Li looked at the person in front of him. He knew that Liang Ye was a smart man, and with his status as a policeman, if he really wanted to find out something, he would definitely find out.At this moment, the owner of those tender eyes was planning something.

I don't know anything else, but one thing Xie Li knows very well is that he is testing himself.

Now there is no need to lie in front of Liang Ye. Besides, the more secretive some things are, the more it shows that he is guilty. He is not so stupid.

Xie Li drank two more sips of beer, and said lightly, "Because I was once blind."

No one knows better than Liang Ye that Xie Li used to be a blind person. He has guessed countless answers to Xie Li in his heart, including this one of course, but Liang Ye still didn't expect it to be so difficult to look back on. The past would be said so plainly by him.

But he still hid his little thoughts tightly, only showing appropriate curiosity and surprise on the surface: "Oh?"

Xie Li looked at the just-right surprise on the face of the person in front of him, and continued with a smile: "Unlucky, my congenital cornea fell off. I was blind ten years ago, but after receiving a donation from others, I regained my sight. Growing up Later, I wanted to do something meaningful for the society, so I chose to be an ophthalmologist.”

After Liang Ye listened, he was silent for a while, then raised his teacup to touch Xie Li's, and said, "It's good, people who have been exposed to rain will hold umbrellas for others. Open a path to the light."

"Thank you doctor, I admire you very much."

Xie Li raised his glass and drank it down: "I just do what I can. I also admire Officer Liang."

The phrase "admire" Liang Ye sounded a bit perfunctory, and Xie Li's wariness towards him was obvious.Since the other party was so defensive, Liang Ye didn't hesitate to change cups and cups: "You don't seem to be surprised by Chen Jiaxing's death? Did you already know about it?"

Xie Li pushed his glasses: "Did Officer Liang forget that Professor Chen is a senior at my school, and his story spread all over the alumni group the next day."

"Oh, so that's the case." Liang Ye continued to probe, "What kind of information did you ask Chen Jiaxing for on the day of the explosion?"

"A piece of academic research material on the optic nerve. But before he had time to give it to me, you broke in. I have already said this when I was recording the transcript. What doubts does Officer Liang have?"

"It's not that I'm confused. I just feel that Dr. Xie has an unlucky physique. You only went to Beijing on a business trip for a week. So many cases have something to do with you. After all, I... care about you very much." Liang Ye seemed to have considered it carefully. It took a while to say the word "caring".

Xie Li smiled: "Officer Liang is a policeman, and it's normal to be alert, but don't wrong us ordinary people. I don't agree with you if you say that so many cases are related to me. If I remember correctly, I The neck injury or the crime scene you took me to?"

After finishing speaking, Xie Li tilted his neck, pulled off his collar, and pointed at the wound with his slender fingers, with an expression of "you see, this is all a good thing you did".

Under the light, Xie Li's skin was fair and delicate, and after being covered by the light, it shone with more luster. A small red scar was unusually prominent, shining brightly into Liang Ye's eyes.

The person in front of him was cold and dangerous, he showed Liang Ye his most vulnerable neck nonchalantly, like a rose with thorns showing its stamens.

Picking roses with bare hands has to pay the price of blood.

Liang Ye turned his head away and swallowed quietly.If he wasn't tempting Xie Li, at any time and place other than today, he would reasonably suspect that Xie Li was seducing him.

"Cough cough...cough cough..." Liang Ye took a sip of tea guiltily and accidentally choked again.

"This wound is my responsibility, so how can I make it up, Doctor Xie?"

"It's okay, Officer Liang handles the case with care, and I won't pursue minor injuries." Xie Li loosened his collar, and continued to drink the remaining wine in the bottle as if nothing had happened.

He really blocked Liang Ye's words.

Who would have thought that after ten years, the innocent little blind man had turned into a big-tailed wolf, or in other words, he was too defensive.Why would an acquaintance have such a strong defensive mentality?Liang Ye had more doubts and incomprehensions towards Xie Li in his heart.

But don't be in a hurry, sooner or later he will figure out the secret that Xie Li has hidden, inside and out.

Anyway, Liangye can't get any more words from Xie Li tonight, so he can only stop here: "It's late, I'll take you home."

In fact, this morning, Liang Ye had already received a detailed information about Xie Li, such as his job, place of residence, relatives, etc., which were all recorded.But in order not to expose the fact that "I am investigating him", Liang Ye still had to pretend that he knew nothing in front of Xie Li.

"Where does Doctor Xie live?" Liang Ye asked.

Just as Xie Li opened his mouth to answer, his cell phone rang.

Liang Ye, who stood up and was about to pay, heard the ringtone and looked back, only to find that Xie Li just glanced at the phone screen, and decisively swiped to refuse to answer.

"Aren't you answering the phone?"

Xie Li put the phone back into his pocket without changing his expression, and replied, "Harassing calls."

"Oh." Liang Ye naturally took the bill and went to the boss to settle the bill. While the boss was settling the bill, he glanced at Xie Li again. He was sure that he read it right just now—when Xie Li saw the caller ID, his hand holding the phone I trembled unconsciously.

But he hid it well, and the trembling was so slight that Liang Ye almost thought he was wrong.

"Get in the car, Ah Li, where is your home?"

Even Xie Li himself didn't realize that he was no longer sensitive to Liang Ye calling himself "A Li", and he still listened very pleasantly.He put on the helmet with the "cat ears" removed, reported his address, and got into Liang Ye's car.

Across the street from Xiaoye, in a black car that had been parked for a long time, He Xin, who was sitting in the driver's seat, turned around and asked, "Boss Lu, do you want to continue following?"

Lu Qiming in the back seat waved his hand.He was holding a mobile phone in his hand, and it was impressively displayed that the number he just dialed belonged to "A Li".He looked at the direction where Xie was leaving them, and said with gloomy eyes: "He Xin, you said that they still meet after ten years, isn't it fate?"

"Coincidentally, if it wasn't for the delivery man in Jingbei who had a problem, they would not have met so easily."

"How can there be so many coincidences in the world?"

"This……"

"Don't be nervous, just chat casually."

"He Xin is not very good at chatting."

"It's okay, I don't blame you." Lu Qiming smiled gently, "Xie Li doesn't know Liang Ye's identity yet, right? Find a chance to invite someone from the Liang family to have dinner, and I'll introduce them to each other.

"—to distract them by the way."

"it is good."

·

Since Xie Li moved out from Lu Qiming's house, he has rented a living room and a room in a residential area in the north of the city. The house has very little furniture and not many electrical appliances.He usually rests when he comes back. He usually spends most of his time in the hospital, and sometimes even sleeps in the office for a night. There is no need to put too many things in this room that is only used for sleeping.

Liang Ye sent him to the gate of the community. He wanted to go back to his house with Xie Li, but it was no surprise that Xie Li ruthlessly rejected them. They were not familiar enough to invite each other to their residence.

"Thank you, Police Officer Liang, for the supper. I'll send it here. I'll see you another day."

"Then what is the next day?" Liang Ye called him from behind.

Xie Li walked into the community gracefully without looking back.He thought to himself that he was just being polite to you, another day will be another day, who knows when it will be?

At the door of the house, Xie Li took a deep breath, opened and closed the door - but did not turn on the light immediately.

He skillfully turned on the phone camera, and carefully scanned every place and everything in the house in the dark.From the entrance to the living room, then to the bedroom, and finally to the bathroom... as big as the ceiling sofa TV, as small as the gap between the vase socket and the door, he checked them all systematically—until he confirmed that there was no trace of a camera installed. He breathed a sigh of relief, turned on the light, and lay quietly on the sofa.

Xie Li has repeated this absurd and weird "going home ceremony" thousands of times in the past.At the beginning, when he pulled out the surveillance camera, he would still be angry and scold the person who monitored him.

But now, he was used to it.If the camera finds one, he will destroy one, if it finds two, he will destroy two...

He knew that no matter how angry he was, it was useless, as long as he and that person were still living in this world at the same time, the things of being followed and monitored would continue forever.

But Xie Li didn't want to die yet, he wanted to live longer, so no matter how disgusted he was with that man's behavior, he could continue to bear it.

At least, you have to live until then...

He was alone in the empty room.

Xie Li took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, his face was somewhat tired.

Without monitoring tonight, he can sleep peacefully.
