Li Qing was silent, and time passed minute by minute, but he didn't say a word.

Qiao Xue waited a little impatiently, so she simply said, "How about handing Mo Li back to you?"

"Good. Li Qing responded without hesitation, so happy and neat, it caused Qiao Xue to be slightly stunned.

After a while, Qiao Xue suddenly came to her senses, Li Qing had long known that her side would not hand over Nick, so she put a long line to catch a big fish, took the initiative, and took the opportunity to return to Mo Li. But as soon as the words came out, there was no room for redemption, Qiao Xue had to say softly with a little unwillingness: "Let's drive, Director Zhou is waiting for you." ”

Li Qing nodded, started the car and drove onto the highway, pretending to ask casually: "You just said that the recovery ability beyond ordinary people will shorten the lifespan, what is going on?"

Qiao Xue seemed to be still feeling remorse for her rash decision just now, and the jade arm propped herself up on the car window, pursed her lips and said, "Human cells will not replicate indefinitely, the more cycles, the shorter the telomeres on the gene sequence become." Normal people die directly when they suffer severe injuries, but unlike Nick, his cells multiply and return to a healthy state. But this explosive proliferation will accelerate the shortening of telomeres in the genes, and he will age rapidly. In other words, this powerful resilience is not unlimited, and it needs to come at the cost of longevity. ”

Li Qing nodded slightly: "In other words, if I kill him a few more times, even if he can be resurrected, he will die of old age in the end..."

Qiao Xue was silent for a while, and finally nodded reluctantly. She had to admit that Li Qing had a point. After being repeatedly hit by Li Qing, Nick's physiological state is now equivalent to that of a forty-five-year-old middle-aged man, and his joints also have inflammation unique to older people, and if he is killed by Li Qing a few more times, his powerful recovery ability will also be exhausted.

However, Qiao Xue always felt that Li Qing's way of saying this made her very unhappy, so she deliberately reminded: "Don't forget, the two of you are about the same." Li Qing, you are not immortal forever. ”

"That's fair. Li Qing said lightly, he already had a bottom in his heart. He didn't mind staying with Nick for a little longer, and the more news he learned from him, the more Li Qing knew about his physical condition.

"I'm going to get out of the car and make a call. Qiao Xue suddenly spoke.

Li Qing silently parked the car on the side of the road, Qiao Xue got out of the car, walked under the billboard and took out her mobile phone to make a call. She made a total of two phone calls, if Li Qing expected to be correct, the first call should be to inform the person to deal with the chaos in the Shangdao café, and the second call was to Zhou Wenhao to report the current situation and the agreement reached with Li Qing.

With his hands propped up on the steering wheel, Li Qing quietly stared at Qiao Xue's slender figure under the billboard, her eyes flickering slightly. He only knew that Qiao Xue was also a supernatural person, but he didn't know anything about her at all. But no matter what, Li Qing was not worried that Qiao Xue would cause trouble to herself, but felt that the weak scholar Zhou Wenhao behind her was even more difficult.

After so many years of life experience, Li Qing has a profound understanding that the storm formed by the brain often has an indescribable great lethality.

After making the call, Qiao Xue returned to the car: "Drive forward, turn left on Seventh Avenue and turn onto the viaduct and turn Dongshan Road." ”

Li Qing started the car and said lightly: "There is a cemetery there. ”

"Dead people don't eavesdrop. Qiao Xue replied.

Shrugging his shoulders, Li Qing followed Qiao Xue's instructions, drove the car to Seventh Avenue and turned left onto the viaduct, walked along the highway out of Gangbei City Center, and drove to the dark Dongshan Road after half an hour.

After driving forward for a while, Li Qing saw another car on the side of the road in front of him.

Qiao Xue said: "Just stop here." ”

Parking the car on the side of the road, Li Qing and the others got out of the car, walked along the white stone road, and entered a cemetery.

"This way. Suddenly, a man's voice came, and Li Qing followed the voice, only to see that more than twenty meters away, a vague black shadow was waving at him.

"Do you Director Zhou like to lie in this kind of place and count the stars?" Li Qing asked Qiao Xue with a bad taste.

Qiao Xue ignored Li Qing and walked straight in the direction where Zhou Wenhao was, followed by Li Qing.

Zhou Wenhao was leaning against a tombstone, with a few empty cans at his feet. Li Qing squinted his eyes and swept around, and was a little stunned to find that this product actually brought a plate of peanuts to make snacks.

"I've been waiting for you for twenty minutes, and I'm almost impatient. Zhou Wenhao said with a smile, casually throwing a can of beer to Li Qing.

Taking the can of beer in his hand, Li Qing said strangely: "Director Zhou's invitation this time is really creative, but compared to the last time, I can't help but wonder if you are bankrupt." ”

Zhou Wenhao drank a little wine, and suddenly showed a bit of heroic bookish spirit, and laughed nonstop.

"Brother, sit on your place. Li Qing turned around and nodded at the tombstone behind him, then sat on the stone platform in front of the monument, opened the pull ring of the can, and raised his head to take a sip of beer.

"You talk slowly, I'll take a look around. Qiao Xue whispered, and gently moved the lotus step to the side to look at the wind.

Li Qing stared at Qiao Xue's back: "You have been careful to this extent? I have encountered some things recently, and I have gradually realized that in fact, the mouth of a dead person is not necessarily tight." ”

Zhou Wenhao said with a smile: "It's really embarrassing to choose this kind of place to meet the head of the Li family so late, although we have many meeting places to choose from, I still think it is more meaningful here." ”

"Oh?" Li Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help but look around again, "Does this cemetery have any special significance to Director Zhou?"

Zhou Wenhao suddenly sighed, turned around and patted the tombstone behind him: "This is the main reason why I came to Lingang." ”

"The head of the Li family doesn't know, in fact, before I entered the Yanjing Judicial Bureau, I had a military background for several years. ”

Li Qing tugged at the corners of his mouth: "I really haven't seen it..."

Zhou Wenhao naturally understood what Li Qing meant, and immediately grinned and explained in a low voice: "It's a civilian, teaching in a political training school. ”

"The person buried here is my last class. Zhou Wenhao raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief, "He is three years older than me, his education level is not high, and his temperament is rude." However, every time we meet, I will stand up and salute in a proper manner, and call a teacher, which is very polite. He was very envious of my high education and culture. As for me, I also envy him for daring to think and do, and he has a bold temperament. The two of us are teachers and students, and at the same time very good friends. There are contacts for several years after the end of the six-month training period. ”

Ten years ago, Zhong Ruoxi, the brigadier general of the Longxi Military Region, was transferred to Lingang as the director of the Supervision Department, and at the same time, in order to consolidate the control of the Lingang garrison, many young cadres of the military department were also transferred to serve in the Hong Kong army, and he was one of them. ”

Li Qing squeaked the can in his hand, raised his head and looked at the tombstone behind Zhou Wenhao for a while, and only vaguely distinguished the two red inscriptions of the Zhengjun, which should be the name of Zhou Wenhao's student.

In the autumn of the second year after he was transferred to the Hong Kong Army, he was shot. Because he was an orphan and had no relatives, his body was not returned to the mainland. He's been sleeping here ever since. Zhou Wenhao said in a deep voice, "Look at what kind of place this is? This is Dongshan Road, the most ordinary civilian cemetery area." The people buried here have all been through the world, but they have also done nothing. But I know that he is the only one who is different, and that he should be buried in the martyr's cemetery for people to pay respect, and this is not the place where he should stay. ”

The sound of pinching cans suddenly stopped, and Li Qing pursed his lips lightly. Through the thick night, he couldn't see the expression on Zhou Wenhao's face clearly, but Li Qing could imagine that the latter should be quite excited at the moment.

"Since he was transferred through the military department, the position must not be low. Li Qing said lightly, "It is really unreasonable to be buried here silently as an ordinary person after death." ”

"The shooting, which was enough to shake the military department, was not reported because it was too bad. Zhou Wenhao said in a deep voice, "After his death, he was accused of being involved in the arms trade of the Lingang underground gang, and he was killed due to the uneven distribution of the spoils. At that time, the situation in Lingang was volatile, and due to the situation, all aspects demanded stability. Therefore, he only did a face-saving investigation and hastily closed the case. The person directly responsible for handling this case more than 10 years ago was Major General Zhong Ruoxi. ”

"I have always respected Major General Zhong Ruoxi, although she failed to bring this case to justice, she did her best to achieve it. It was she who sealed and preserved the evidence related to the case and submitted it with the investigation report, so that I was able to access the archives years later and understand what absurd things had happened. It was also she who chose this place for my students to bury their bones, although it has always made me unhappy, but in terms of the current situation of the year, it was already the best place. ”

Li Qing said in a sullen voice: "That's why you came to Hong Kong?"

"Yes, I came to Lingang, not only because of the superior assignment, but also because I took the initiative to ask for help. Zhou Wenhao said in a deep voice, "Since I heard the news of his death, I have taken it as my mission to clean up the chaos in Hong Kong. After so many years of struggle, I finally had a chance. ”

Li Qing fell silent again.

According to Zhou Wenhao, the death of his student was a troublemaker in the Qi family, which occupied an important position in the military and government of Lingang. In this way, Li Qing had no way of knowing whether Zhou Wenhao's first fire as a new official burned to the Qi family's mansion for righteousness or favoritism.

In Li Qing's eyes, Zhou Wenhao is a martyr-like tragic figure, such a character undoubtedly makes Li Qing feel sincere admiration, but at the same time, he can't help but be full of worries about the next cooperation.
