Chapter 6 A Taste of Home
He was released from the detention room, which was around three o'clock in the afternoon of the nineteenth. Nian Hao, who was released, immediately took a heavy puff of cigarette at the door of the police station, and he was addicted to smoking, and he didn't let himself smoke a single cigarette during his detention, which was uncomfortable. After a whole cigarette, I felt that I was back to normal, looking at the traffic on the street, all kinds of figures, the landscape trees standing straight on the side of the road, and the slanting sunset carved many shadows, so he stood alone at the door. Nian Hao's figure is not enough to be remembered, the person who passed him by the door hurried away, no one would want to know about him, indeed, no one would care about the story of an inconspicuous person who passed by him.
"Do you know what you're doing?" In the office in the corner of the police station, Deputy Director Li looked at Nian Hao through the window. What he said, with a lot of complaints, and his voice was not loud, and he said it to Zhao Cui, who was sitting on the sofa behind him.
"Of course I do. Zhao Cui said, he picked up the thermos cup in his hand, blew the two wolfberries floating in the cup aside, and took a shallow sip of the water wrapped around them. "You don't have to worry about me. β
"I'm afraid you'll hurt me. β
"Oh, that's not what you're supposed to say. β
"What happened, I don't want to know. Anyway, you instigated the higher-ups and gave me the order to release the people. With this excuse, it is enough. β
"That being said, you're also involved in the irregularities in this case. β
"If you can help me block it, I'll be fine. β
Zhao Cui thought for a moment and took a few more sips of water. "Don't you want to know about it?"
"Knowing too much is not good, no matter how you deal with it, what kind of sin will it make me bear, there is no way to do it. I think we will continue to work as colleagues in the future. Too much contact, I can't guarantee that I'll be involved. β
"The once hot-blooded boy just lost his ideals?"
"You said that we used to be, we are all old, is there any use for ideals? And now I have a family, I have a happy life, and the last incident almost made me take off my clothes, and now I don't want to. It's not that I fancy this profession, since the director was hospitalized and recuperating at home, the four deputy directors of our police station, well, of course, except for me, all want to be in the position. But for me, it doesn't matter, I was taken to the police station, and I just want to retire with peace of mind. β
Zhao Cui groaned slightly. "Don't worry, I'll help you fight it. Still, I want to thank you for helping me. β
Li didn't answer, he straightened his uniform, and walked out of the office without looking. Li Zhen explained the reason for the release to his superiors, although everything was resisted by Zhao Cui, he still had to follow the procedure.
Zhao Cui released Nian Hao in the name of legitimate defense, and he had enough modification footprints in terms of procedures and evidence. When this kind of thing is magnified, it's very bad. Fortunately, it seems that because of Yao Luoxuan's relationship, there is not much accountability, but only warns him: Once there is a mistake, he must bear it himself. However, the guy who was killed by Nian Hao is at least a human life, and how justice will correct its attitude needs to be measured more.
In order to measure everything, Zhao Cui had already arranged it properly when Nian Hao released it. Nian Hao is by no means an ordinary person, and it is necessary to control his surveillance screen. Twenty years ago, if we had known a person's whereabouts and so on, we would have had to send out a considerable number of police officers and very skilled scouts. But now that we have entered the information age, there is almost no need for scouts to follow behind in this city. Zhao Cui has installed a software on his mobile phone, which is software that can call up all the monitoring of the command center at any time. The software operating system is quite good, and you can play any area of the city on the phone screen as long as there is a camera without too many complicated debugging.
In addition, Nian Hao has been defined as an absolutely extraordinary human being, so it is not a good way to send scouts to follow him. Zhao Cui's best scouts received orders early in the morning at nine o'clock in the morning, and they began to retrieve any pictures about Nian Hao one by one, which was the picture of everything that was born and now. That's all, or so far, that's all that can be done. Zhao Cui's purpose is very clear, starting with Nian Hao's hands first, and then connecting Yao Luoxuan, so that the earliest case can be traced.
As for Yao Luoxuan, she is a connecting point. Even if Zhao Cui can't find a reason to confirm this now, his intuition has always been in it. Before Yao Luoxuan was brought to the Criminal Police Brigade to assist in the investigation, he already knew through some channels that the method of the man who killed the man in the bank and pierced the back of the head with a spike was related to the peacekeeping force in which Yao Luoxuan had served. Investigating military forces is not an easy task, and the greatest way to get around this highly classified military department is to circumvent this department and collect all possible evidence before reaching their bottom line. Although Yao Luoxuan has been protected by his superiors, he has not made an order for Zhao Cui to stop handling the case, which can show that Zhao Cui has not yet touched the bottom line of the army, which is also something that reassures him. Once the bottom line is touched, Zhao Cui will not only be given an order to stop the investigation, but will even be transferred from his post, and even more likely to disappear directly from this world.
But now there is another question, which is about Nian Hao's little girlfriend, a girl named Sun Qian. What kind of relationship point does she play in this? I don't know anything about it through the archives. After Nian Hao hurt people in the bar, he drank six bottles of beer and a bottle of one pound of liquor, and then he fell to the ground drunk, and after that, the name he shouted was this girl named Sun Qian. According to Yao Luoxuan's description, Nian Hao took her hand, called out Sun Qian's name, and then said in a drunken state that only the girl was useful. What kind of use it is, even Yao Luoxuan can't express it. Perhaps, the girl is just a faΓ§ade, and even if it is, it would take considerable argument to rule out the relationship.
Therefore, the next investigation work mainly focused on three people, Nian Hao, Yao Luoxuan, and Sun Qian. Fortunately, Zhao Cui has cultivated a lot of talents in the past few years, and there is no need to worry about the workload, the key is how to designate the direction.
Thinking of this, Zhao Cui dialed the phone he received and ordered: "Yao Luoxuan, Sun Qian, Nian Hao, any monitoring of the three of them, from birth to the future, will be transferred to me, and not a second can be missed." "Obviously, this order is quite overbearing. Zhao Cui's men were silent for a second before agreeing. Subsequently, Zhao Cui gave an order to the others, about the time to investigate the three people, and everything from birth to the future. Quite a lot of work, so to speak, massive. And in addition to Zhao Cui's designation direction, he also has one more thing to do, that is, to find out Nian Hao's birth parents. Perhaps, this will be a way to explore a boy's secret.
Zhao Cui began to call up the surveillance. He plugged the phone into the charging cable, turned on the screen to unlock it, found his unique software, and clicked on it, and the screen jumped to a cafΓ©. Zhao Cui looked at the address, it was a Starbucks coffee shop two traffic lights away from this police station, maybe it was Wednesday, there were twelve tables in the store, and only three tables were sat by different groups of people. The innermost one sat two couples, leaning against the window was a man in a suit wearing glasses staring at the Apple computer on the table, and the closest to the window was Nian Hao. Nian Hao sat there alone, crossed his legs, holding a cigarette in his hand, logically speaking, smoking is not allowed in the store, but Nian Hao leaned on the outermost, and there was a big window open, so the store staff did not prohibit it. There was a cup of coffee on Nian Hao's table, and his phone was placed on the side of the coffee, and the screen was turned off without any picture.
"Good boy, do you drink coffee alone?" Zhao Cui said to himself. His eyes continued to stare at the screen, and after about three minutes, Nian Hao did not move except for smoking dozens of cigarettes and drinking two sips of coffee.
Is he waiting for someone?" Zhao Cui pondered, then turned off this monitor and called up the other two. One was about Yao Luoxuan, who was reporting to her captain in the conference room of her unit. The other was Sun Qian, who met with her parents in the school teacher's office. These two people, although Zhao Cui helped explain, but the rest must be taken care of by themselves. As for the content of the conversation between the two of them, Zhao Cui had already asked others to be ready to listen at any time.
The scene turned back to the coffee shop, where Nian Hao was still sitting, and he lit another cigarette. Nothing was done. Zhao Cui thought for a moment, switched back to the phone book, and dialed a police officer's phone.
"Xiao Li. β
"I'm here! what's the matter with Team Zhao?"
"Where are you?"
"Me. After a pause, the other end of the line panted and said, "I'm home." β
"Immediately go to the Starbucks coffee shop at No. XXX east of the XXX police station. Zhao Cui ordered.
"But I'm on vacation. It seems that it is the first time to contradict Zhao Cui, and the tone on the other end of the computer is very weak.
"I don't care, go right away, there's a little boy over there, you go and investigate, how long will you arrive?"
After thinking for a moment, the other end of the phone said, "About twenty minutes." β
"Ten minutes must be there!"
"Ten minutes is too late for Team Zhao!"
"Are you home?"
"Yes. β
"Then you can be there in five minutes. β
"I need to take a shower!"
"Why take a bath?"
"I'm with my boyfriend!"
Hearing this, Zhao Cui's old face turned red, he thought of something, and sighed: "Okay, give you twenty minutes." β
Hanging up the phone, Zhao Cui clicked on the video again, and Nian Hao was still sitting there. However, he was playing with his mobile phone, zooming in on the surveillance, and vaguely saw that the screen on the mobile phone screen was an online game. Zhao Cui immediately took out another mobile phone from his pocket and dialed it.
"Can you adjust the screen of Nian Hao's mobile phone clearly?" As soon as the phone was connected, Zhao Cui immediately ordered.
After a few seconds: "I can see it." β
"Why am I confused?"
"Team Zhao, you have to change your phone. Your iPhone CPU can't support the HD version of this software. β
"Less nonsense, what's the picture?"
"Online games. β
"Specifically?"
""New Era" online game, the top of the game operation interface shows the 26th district, and the name of the game is Nian Hao. β
"Okay, got it. After Zhao Cui finished speaking, he hung up the phone and dialed another phone.
"Team Zhao!" was very excited on the other side of the phone.
"New Era" mobile game, 26th district, the name of the game is Nian Hao, you download it immediately to communicate!"
"Team Zhao, I still have a lot of work here!"
"Speed!"
"Communicate what?"
"Observe!"
When the other end of the phone heard this order, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and sighed: "Okay." β
After these two orders, Zhao Cui stood up, lit a cigarette for himself, and walked back and forth in the house a few times. Suddenly regretted my decision, did I go in the right direction? Or did I have been spared by my own misjudgment? All we can do now is to persevere, and there is no way back.
Fifteen minutes later, a woman arrives at the coffee shop. As soon as she entered the store, Nian Hao beckoned to her. The woman was obviously stunned, and Zhao Cui, who was looking at the surveillance, commanded through the phone to the Bluetooth headset in the woman's ear: "Go over." Sit down. β
After the woman heard Zhao Cui's order, she sat down.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. Nian Hao said. She looked into the woman's eyes and added very casually: "Hang up the phone, take off the headphones, you tell Officer Zhao that I can't communicate with him directly." So he needed a connection, and he just had to look at it. β
This young man actually knows everything? Zhao Cui didn't think about it, and ordered through the earphones: "Xiao Li, you listen to him." β
After receiving the order, the policewoman named Xiao Li took out her mobile phone, hung up the phone, and took out the Bluetooth headset from her ear and put it on the table, indicating that there was no communication equipment left.
"Newly graduated cops. Nian Hao said, his eyes looked at her: "You are good, short jacket and short skirt, thick stockings and high shoes, very fashionable dress, but it doesn't look suitable for you." Your face shape is suitable for casual suits, casual blazers, not too formal, plus cropped jeans and high-tops, so that you can look good in it. β
Faced with the teenager's admiration and comments, Xiao Li didn't know how to answer. She came in a hurry, only contacting Zhao Cui through Bluetooth, and did not get any direction that Zhao Cui needed to investigate. As soon as she entered the house, she was asked by the teenager in front of her to turn off the communication, and with this thoughtless comment, she really didn't know what to do next.
"Let me introduce first, my name is Nian Hao. As he spoke, Nian Hao stretched out his hand and looked at Xiao Li very casually.
"My name is Li Ting. The policewoman stretched out her hand and touched Nian Hao, and the two shook hands slightly, then let go.
"A smell of youth fills your face. Nian Hao said, lighting a cigarette: "But you still have a unique smell of women." To put it mildly, this smell can only be caressed by men. You must have been pulled over by Zhao Cui when you were doing what you had to do. β
Li Ting's face turned red, indeed, when she was entangled in bed with her boyfriend just now, she was broken by a phone call from Zhao Cui. What surprised her was that the boy actually knew that when it came to this kind of topic, most women would be annoyed, but Li Ting looked at the boy's eyes and found that her anger could not be ignited at the peak, as if it had fallen into his eyes, and could not touch the surface.
"Isn't it okay to talk about this?" Li Ting suppressed her shy face and said, "You want me to communicate with Team Zhao?"
Nian Hao waved his hand and said, "Well, communicate." β
"Why can't you communicate directly?"
"Sometimes, a person's aura can lead to the person they are facing. Do you believe it?" Nian Hao snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, he raised his head, and said loudly to the bar waiter, "A pot of Americano, two cups." β
"Thank you. Li Ting involuntarily said these two words, and she suddenly found that what the young man said was right, and her temper seemed to have become a little strange in front of the young man.
"Team Zhao is still a person who understands, if everyone doesn't understand, the facts can't be explored. β
"What facts?"
Nian Hao shook his head: "I don't know, but he can give me a fact." So, he asked you to communicate with me, whether you will be led astray by me or not, at least you can act as an intermediary. β
"So how do we communicate?"
Words, just face to face. Nian Hao said, "Words are the best way to communicate." In the case of a reciprocal identity, the words will be very frank. β
"Then you say, I'll listen!"
"No, reciprocal status. β
"How reciprocal?"
"I told you who I am, and you have to tell you who you are. β
"My name is Li Ting. Police officer hao XXXXXXX, just one year after graduation, worked under Team Zhao. β
"It's not good for you to do this. β
"What's wrong?"
"I'll just tell you my name, and you just tell me by name, but you've just said more information so that I'm bound to tell the same thing. β
"Then you say. β
"Nian Hao, seventeen years old, a sophomore in XXX High School, has just been released by your Zhao team. β
"You were arrested by Team Zhao?"
"No, it was the other cops who arrested me. Team Zhao let me out. β
"Something was caught. β
Nian Hao smiled and said indifferently: "I killed someone." β
When Li Ting heard this, she paused for a moment, and wanted to say that you were joking, but she didn't say it. Everything is not clear, and she can't make a statement.
The service eye brought over the glass container filled with coffee, and placed two cups in front of them, and placed a ceramic cup filled with sugar cubes in the middle, and after saying slow use, he cleaned up the coffee cup that Nian Hao had drunk in front of him.
Nian Hao got up, poured a cup of coffee for Li Ting and himself, and after making a gesture of please, he used the small clip on the side of the sugar cube container to move two sugar cubes for himself and stirred them. Li Ting was also welcome, she made seven sugar cubes for her coffee before starting to stir.
"If there's too little sugar, it's bitter. This sentence came out of Li Ting's mouth.
"I don't like coffee that's too sweet, but you're bitterer than me. β
After Li Ting finished stirring, she took a sip and said, "Why am I bitter?"
"Isn't it bitter to be called from a bed and do something you don't know what to do?"
"Can you not mention this?" Li Ting was annoyed for a while, not knowing how to vent. Yes, she was enjoying the pleasure her boyfriend gave her, and before she reached the peak, Zhao Cui's phone call disturbed her.
"I take the liberty of reminding you. Nian Hao said calmly: "Your boyfriend is not a good person, because you are infected by him with the smell of other women." β
After listening to Nian Hao's words, Li Ting suddenly remembered that when she kissed her boyfriend, there was some kind of fragrant kiss in her lips. Is it really as the young man in front of him said? I should be annoyed when a boy talks about such a topic, but I don't have that kind of thought, I just feel trust, a sense of impeccable trust.
"Thank you!" Li Ting said.
"Don't you get angry at me for talking about such a topic?"
Li Ting shook her head: "My own business, or I will solve it myself." β
"I'm sorry, I just intervened. β
"You have such a sensitive nose, you can smell smells. β
"Nope. You may not believe it, but it's the smell that I need to recognize. β
"How to explain it?"
"Well, you can pass these words to Team Zhao. Nian Hao straightened down and lit a cigarette again: "The answer he is pursuing is wrapped in a smell of hometown." β
Li Ting didn't answer and continued to listen to Nian Hao's explanation.
"Once a person's sensibility has reached a certain stage, he can feel the sensibility of others about the things around him. For example, I hope you don't mind, you and your boyfriend are enjoying the world of two, and you are forcibly pulled to me, and you are still nostalgic for the pleasure you just had, so I feel these things from your senses. Of course, feel your pleasure, and some good scouts, like you, can feel it. But it's not easy to feel the sensations of things you touch in your sensory system. But I felt it. β
"Is this a deliberate feature?" asked Li Ting.
"It would be nice to force it to understand it that way. At least to the extent that we don't have a plausible explanation, can we at best understand it that way?"
Li Ting picked up her coffee and didn't answer. just bypassed Nian Hao's explanation and asked, "What did you just say, what is the taste of hometown." β
"A few people have been away from home for a long time, homesick, and then they all have the appearance of home in their minds, so the smell of hometown lingers. You can tell Team Zhao about this completely. β
Li Ting nodded, took a sip of coffee, and then put down the cup. "Is there anything else you want to tell Team Zhao?"
"You can also tell Team Zhao about your boyfriend and ask him to help check if your boyfriend has cuckolded you. β
"You better say less! I can solve my own business. β
"I can help you too. β
"No!"
"But I want to help you. Nian Hao insisted.
Li Ting sat upright, and finally anger came out of her eyes. "I said no. β
"In return, you can let me taste you. β
After these words fell, Li Ting's eyes curled, and she shouted in a low voice: "Do you know what you're talking about?"
"Twenty-six just graduated policewoman, very charming. Profession aside, I love the femininity that emanates from you. β
"If you continue like this, there's nothing to talk about. Li Ting was angry, a feeling of being played.
Nian Hao shrugged his shoulders and said, "Tell Team Zhao what you conveyed." β
"That's it?" Li Ting said.
"Hmm. Nian Hao nodded, and then he leaned back in his chair and squinted.
Li Ting stood up, she needed to leave this teenager, and when the teenager said this, there was anger in her heart, but an illusion appeared. The illusion was that the boy was wriggling around him, naked and naked, wrapped around a huge bed with walnut-colored edges, white sheets, and crumpled velvet cups at their feet. This fantasy made Li Ting's whole body tremble involuntarily, and she couldn't even remember the scene with her boyfriend. Thinking hard, I felt that the person lying on top of me was not my boyfriend, but the teenager in front of me. This fantasy made her feel scared.
Moving slowly towards the door, Li Ting shook her head, and soon this sensory hallucination disappeared, and she hurriedly ran out of the coffee shop.
