This night, many people are destined to be unable to sleep.

Xicheng District Public Security Bureau, the director's office is still lit.

The office was full of smoke, Ji Tiejun half leaned on the office chair, with a cigarette in his mouth, the smoke slowly rose, and his slightly sad round face loomed in the smoke. This experienced police chief, who has personally handled countless difficult cases, has never had such a headache as he does now.

He met Lu Chenlong when he was young, and at that time he had just graduated from college, with passionate blood and the hero complex of a hot-blooded man. Although it was only seen from afar, that person left an indelible impression on his heart. Later, he participated in the case of Lu Chenlong and his wife, and that case has always been a knot in his heart.

These years have gradually faded into oblivion, until the appearance of Lu Shanmin.

It's not that he didn't think about the difficulty of this case, and even put it in advance as the most difficult case in his life, but now many things are often not the worst, only worse.

Things have developed so far, far beyond his expectations.

Ma Anshan sat opposite him, staring at the bureau chief with a pair of eagle eyes, and did not speak.

"It's useless for you to stare at me". Ji Tiejun flicked the cigarette ash.

"What are you afraid of? your hat or your life"?

Ji Tiejun frowned, "I'm afraid that I will lose my hat and my life, and then nothing will change."

"Because I can't change it, I pretend to be deaf and dumb and don't do anything, which is not an excuse that a qualified police officer should have."

Ji Tiejun rubbed his forehead and sighed helplessly, "I shouldn't have transferred you from Jiangzhou."

"You thought it was just a big case, but now you find out that it's more serious than you thought, so you regret it."

"Say whatever you want"! Ji Tiejun had a sense of grievance that he couldn't explain when he met Bing Youliang, and he smoked sullenly.

"Lu Shanmin and Huang Jiujin are in Qishan, where a fire fight is going on, and as a policeman, it is a dereliction of duty to turn a blind eye!" Ma Anshan's voice was cold.

Ji Tiejun glanced at the wall clock on the wall, "It's useless to go, it's long overdue now."

"No matter how late it is, you have to go, otherwise even the evidence at the scene will be wiped out"!

"Do you think the traces of a fight are the so-called evidence"?

"Something is better than nothing".

Ji Tiejun nodded, "For ordinary cases, it's true."

Ma Anshan's eyes widened, "I know what you're afraid of, you're afraid that they will find out that you're paying attention to this case."

Ji Tiejun smiled faintly, "It's good to know, some things can't be done too much, otherwise they will be the first to be unlucky when they find out that we are a threat."

Ma Anshan smiled coldly, "Isn't it natural for the police to handle cases, when do they still play this kind of trick with criminals."

Ji Tiejun flicked the cigarette ash, "Go and draw up a wanted warrant, and Huang Jiujin will be wanted in the whole city tomorrow."

Ma Anshan frowned, and said coldly: "You are a policeman, not an eagle dog"!

Ji Tiejun's hand paused on the ashtray, "Chief Ma, please pay attention to your words."

Ma Anshan raised his head high and said righteously: "I'm just telling the truth."

"You abused your power to release criminal suspects privately, and openly contradicted the foul language of your superiors, you can be dismissed and investigated now"!

"Such a great official, you only have this ability!" Ma Anshan is still upright and has no fear.

Ji Tiejun patted his forehead and sighed, "Section Chief Ma, aren't you unwilling to force me to death?"

"If you are afraid of death, you should not be a policeman".

"What do I have to say before you understand".

"I understand that this is a battle that must be lost, but it is by no means an excuse to back down."

Ji Tiejun was so angry that he pointed at Ma'anshan's nose, "You are making trouble like this, you will go back to Jiangzhou for me tomorrow."

"There is no need for the two to argue." A majestic voice sounded, and then a tower-like man walked in.

Huang Jiujin glanced at Ma Anshan first, "He's right, you little policemen can't even save their lives if they go."

As he spoke, he looked at Ji Tiejun, "Give you a step, don't push me into a hurry."

It's crazy, Ji Tiejun has never seen such a crazy person in his life, but he, the director of public security who is used to seeing strong winds and waves, doesn't even have the slightest idea of refutation.

"Since you came back on your own initiative, there is no need for a wanted warrant." Ji Tiejun got up slowly, "I'll send you to the detention center."

"Then there is Director Lao Ji."

Ji Tiejun followed behind Huang Jiujin, looking at the back in front of him, an invisible pressure overwhelmed him, this momentum made him can't help but recall the feeling when he saw Lu Chenlong, exactly the same.

"If you want to tell it, I can listen to it as a story." Ji Tiejun said.

"You're a police officer, you have your judgment and way of doing things, and I won't interfere. As for the story, you should discover it yourself."

Ji Tiejun said lightly: "Do you despise me as a policeman in your heart?"

"I've never been afraid of anyone, but that doesn't mean I look down on anyone."

Ma Anshan said lightly: "What are you going to do next?"

Huang Jiujin stopped for a moment, "I should ask you this sentence."

When the three of them came to the detention center, Ji Tiejun glanced at Ma'anshan, "You wait outside, I'll personally send him in."

Ma Anshan frowned, glanced at Huang Jiujin, nodded, and stopped at the door of the detention center.

Huang Jiujin stepped into his room and looked back at Ji Tiejun, "Director Ji seems to have something to say to me."

Ji Tiejun nodded, "How is your relationship with Chief Ma?"

"He always wanted to put my brother in jail, not how".

Ji Tiejun shook his head, "It's not easy for a person like him to admit death to let you out."

"It's not easy, indeed."

"What is your impression of him?" Ji Tiejun continued.

"I appreciate him, this country, this society, needs people like him". Huang Jiujin said lightly.

Ji Tiejun nodded again, "You are friends"?

"It's not a friend, a person like him is destined to have no friends."

Ji Tiejun thought so deeply and smiled, "I agree with your point of view very much."

Huang Jiujin looked at Ji Tiejun lightly, "This topic is a little boring."

"Not boring", Ji Tiejun lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, "I just want to tell you that although I act in a very different way from him, in essence, I am the same kind of person as him."

Huang Jiujin's expression was flat, "Just to tell me this"?

Ji Tiejun pointed to his eyes, "I have dealt with criminals all my life, and I dare not say that I have a pair of fiery eyes, but at least I can see eight or nine without leaving ten, I can see that you have a righteous spirit."

Huang Jiujin's brows furrowed slightly, "I'm different from you."

Ji Tiejun took the cigarette from his mouth and smiled: "I know that in your eyes, I can't play a role, but you can trust me."

Huang Jiujin squinted his eyes and looked at Ji Tiejun in a daze.

Facing Huang Jiujin's eyes, it was like being stared at by a beast with its fangs exposed, and his heart was beating faster unconsciously.

"I see". After a while, Huang Jiujin said lightly.

Ji Tiejun didn't say anything more, turned around and walked outside, and after taking a few steps, he turned back and said: "Righteous people can't make mistakes morally, but it doesn't mean that they won't commit crimes in law, I hope you can restrain Lu Shanmin."

"Thank you Director Ji for reminding me, he is my brother, I know it in my heart, you don't need to worry about it."

Walking out of the detention center, Ji Tiejun said lightly: "Go back and rest."

"What are you talking about?" Ma Anshan slowly followed.

Ji Tiejun stopped and smiled, "I told him that I was the same as you."

Ma Anshan frowned, "Are we the same?"

"So he didn't fully believe me".

"I just don't know how long you're going to be on the sidelines, or if you're going to keep watching."

"Do you know why I transferred you from Jiangzhou"?

Ji Tiejun smiled, "Because whether it is Lu Shanmin or Huang Jiujin, they are more willing to believe in you."

As he spoke, he took a deep breath and looked up at the dark sky, "Haven't you always wanted to do something, in fact, it's not like we can't do anything, although it's still not very useful."

There was a touch of excitement in Ma Anshan's eyes, "The result is not important, the important thing is that as a policeman, we must do something."

Ji Tiejun's eyes showed a cold light, and he whispered to himself: "I hate you people who are above the law, you shouldn't exist in this world."

...........

...........

The sun is rising, and sunlight is pouring into the room.

He Zhang rubbed his eyes, sat up from the bed, and suddenly saw Lu Shanmin sitting motionless in front of the window, and was startled.

Lu Shanmin turned his head, his face was a little pale, his eyes were a little hollow, and he looked a little infiltrating.

"Little junior brother, when did you come back"?

"For a while, I saw that you slept soundly and did not disturb you".

He Zhang asked with some concern: "Little junior brother, your face is not very good."

Lu Shanmin shook his head, "It's okay, it just blew a little wind last night."

He Zhang looked at the suitcase on the ground and frowned, "You want to move out."

Lu Shanmin nodded, "Well, it's troublesome this time."

He Zhang hurriedly got up and put on his coat, "Little junior brother, I have found an English teacher for you, who is my high school classmate, from Tianjing Foreign Language College, do you want to meet him."

Lu Shanmin grinned, his chapped lips were faintly bloodshot, "Thank you, Senior Brother He, no need."

He Zhang grabbed Lu Shanmin's arm and asked worriedly. "Little junior brother, it's not your style to give up, you don't write the boss's paper"?

"I've been busy lately, and my dissertation may not be completed on time."

He Zhang's face was full of worry, "Little junior brother, have you encountered something?"

"No," Lu Shanmin shook his head, "Don't talk about me, how is your paper?"

He Zhang looked resentful, sat on the stool, "I was beaten back by the boss, he said that what I wrote was not an academic paper, let me reflect on it."

Lu Shanmin nodded, "There are some real things in your eyes and in your heart, and they can't be put on the table."

He Zhang opened his mouth and sighed, "The boss said the same thing."

"He's right." Lu Shanmin patted He Zhang's shoulder and said earnestly: "Senior Brother He, you have a specialization in the art industry, listen to the boss's words, and take the academic road well."

He Zhang looked at Lu Shanmin in a daze, and said seriously: "Little junior brother, you must have encountered something." We are comrades-in-arms, and I also calculated my strength against the Nalan family last time, and I can still fight side by side with you this time."

Lu Shanmin smiled comfortingly, "It's really okay, I'm also a rich man, I can't always live in this kind of broken house with you."

As he spoke, he got up and lifted his suitcase, "Tell my boss for me that my thesis may not be completed on time."

He Zhang got up and shook his head, "Little junior brother, if you are reasonable, you should explain it to his old man in person."

Lu Shanmin paused, pulled his suitcase and walked out of the rental house.

Downstairs, the red BMW was parked on the side of the road, Lu Shanmin put the suitcase in the trunk and looked at the gate of Tianjing Finance and Economics, Han Yao was wearing a light blue dress and was looking at this side.

"Wait for me for a while". Lu Shanmin said to Xiao Nizi and walked towards the school gate.

"You're leaving". Han Yao looked at Lu Shanmin with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Hmm".

"You, your face is very bad".

"Got a little hurt".

"Where is the injury?" Han Yao hurriedly asked.

Lu Shanmin shook his head slightly, "small injury."

Han Yao looked up at Lu Shanmin's face, indifferent and sad, and the humorous Lu Shanmin at the beginning, she couldn't help but feel a faint pain in her heart.

"I really miss the days when we first met, even if it was fake".

"It's all over, you'll be fine".

"What about you, will you get better?" Han Yao smiled bitterly and asked rhetorically.

"I don't know."

Han Yao took a deep breath and bit her lip tightly, "Lu Shanmin, you go, leave Tianjing, you can go anywhere."

Lu Shanmin looked at Han Yao's eyes shining with tears, and said lightly: "I still have some things to deal with."

"What could be more important than your life"?

"In this world, there are many things that are more important than life."

"Lu Shanmin, when will you still be obsessed?" Han Yao said with some excitement.

"Han Yao, have you ever lost relatives and friends"?

"Nope".

"Oh, you're so lucky, I've lost more than one."

"Lu Shanmin,,".

Lu Shanmin smiled, "Thank you, you are a good girl."

Lu Shanmin's smile made Han Yao feel an inexplicable worry, this smile seemed to be relieved, it was like seeing through the red dust, and it was also like a kind of lovelessness.

The hatred for Lu Shanmin in Han Yao's heart disappeared, and was replaced by a deep sense of unease.

"Lu Shanmin, listen to me, I will definitely help you find Ye Zixuan."

Lu Shanmin shook his head, his eyes were barren.

"No, I can't get it back."

"Yes, please believe me, the Han family has an influence in Tianjing that you can't imagine, and you will definitely be able to find it."

Lu Shanmin looked up at the sky, and two lines of tears flowed down the corners of his eyes.

"She's dead".
