Time flies, and seeing that it is the last free weekend of Xin Pet, everyone is starting to get agitated. Liu Xunfei led the team to search for the sixth and seventh ladies day and night; Singh was so anxious that he was restless at home because he was suspended from his post and could not participate in the investigation; Shi Yin read Ye Zhenyan's autopsy report over and over again; but Ye Shichao still locked himself in the laboratory and kept himself closed.

Xin Pet spent a morning, cleaned the house spotlessly, made instant noodles for lunch, and then drove to the law firm, first went to Bai Tingnian's office, pushed the door open, there was no one inside, so he went to the front desk Xiaomei and asked her where Bai Tingnian went.

Xiaomei was entering the visitor registration form, and raised her head when she heard this, "Bai Lu is on vacation, Bai Lu said that Xin Lu asked him to release it." ”

It was indeed she who let him go, but her intention was just to warn him that he could not help the person by illegal means, even if the person was your relative or friend, as long as he recognized this and admitted his mistake, he could come to work.

Xin Pet frowned, and asked Xiaomei helplessly, "He didn't come this week?"

"Well, they didn't come. Xiaomei said disappointedly, and then lowered her voice and said to her, "The criminal law is a little angry." ”

Xin Pet nodded, indicating that he understood, turned around and came to the door of Lao Xing's office, knocked on the door twice, and Lao Xing's hoarse voice came from inside: "Come in." ”

Xin Pet pushed the door in, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Lao Xing smoking, the whole office was full of smoke, Lao Xing was smoking, seeing Xin Pet coming in, he hurriedly put out the half-smoked cigarette butt in the ashtray, opened the window, dispersed the smell, and turned back to Xin Pet and said, "It's the last day, how are you going to live?"

Xin Pet sat down on the sofa and sighed, "I plan to spend it as the last day before I die." ”

Xin Pet rarely pretends to be strong in front of Lao Xing, because he can't pretend, Lao Xing has seen all her downness and embarrassment, and there is no need to pretend at all.

To be strictly calculated, Xin Pet should actually call Lao Xing "Uncle Xing", because Lao Xing is indeed a friend of Xin Pet's parents, and she is twenty years older. When Xin Pet's parents passed away, all the affairs at home were handled by Lao Xing, and the first job after Xin Pet graduated was also introduced by Lao Xing, and later both of them wanted to open an independent firm, and they had a drink together, and they became partners.

"Have you lost your temper with Xiaobai?" Lao Xing looked at Xin Pet through the gradually thinning white mist, and there was a calmness and transparency unique to middle-aged people in his eyes.

Xin Pet raised his head indignantly when he heard this: "That kid has come to you to complain?"

"Nope. Lao Xing sighed, stood up, and poured her a glass of water, "He wants to take a vacation for some reason, and I always have to ask the reason." ”

Xin Pet took the water cup and poured a few sips in a row, "Since you asked, you know that you can't blame me for this." If you listen to him say that kind of bastard, you'll be angry. ”

Lao Xing was noncommittal, he started his own business and chose Xin Pet, a hairy girl, in addition to the fact that this girl is indeed a rare good seedling, the biggest reason is that this girl is the same as him, cunning and sleek are all appearances, and she is honest in her bones.

"Xiaobai is also concerned about chaos, and you don't know it. Lao Xing excused Bai Tingnian and sat beside her, "Tomorrow you will go to the police station to report, I know what you think in your heart, you put a hundred hearts in the law firm, even if you are in prison for a hundred years, you will still have half of you here." Your brother, although I can't help, I can help from time to time. Every year on your parents' death day, I will go to help you sweep the grave, so that your brother will be busy and forget about it. Is there anything else to entrust?"

Xin Pet shook her head, her whole body was wrapped in warmth, which made her burst into tears, "Lao Xing, thank you." ”

Lao Xing didn't speak, looked at the ceiling and was silent for a long time, before he patted his thigh and stood up, "Okay, let's go, I'll go and make an appointment with a few headhunters, it's time to recruit a few newcomers." As soon as you leave, Xiaobai probably won't have the heart to work, and he can't count on it. Sighing, I went to the phone book.

Xin Pet got up and left Lao Xing's office.

After returning to the office to tidy up his things, Xin Pet drove to the laboratory and bought some food and beer on the way.

By the time "there was a sound of insects", it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and no one worked overtime in the laboratory, it was pitch black, only the lights were still on in Ye Shichao's office on the second floor, like a lighthouse in the dark, which made people feel at ease.

She carried food upstairs, found that the office door was open, and when she walked in, she saw Ye Shichao sitting on the ground, surrounded by printed papers, he was like a giant stepping into a white town, staring at every building in this town with focused and eager eyes.

Xin Pet didn't dare to disturb him, so he stood at the door and waited.

He wore a black shirt with cuffs rolled up to reveal his white wrists, and his recent exertion had made him thinner and his joints more pronounced. He frowned slightly, his side face solemn and holy because it was too serious, and it seemed that he had completely merged with the city of words in front of him, and he could not feel or hear anyone else or anything else.

Xin Pet was tired of waiting, so he simply sat cross-legged on the ground, opened a bottle of beer and drank it full, the smell of faint disinfectant water floating in the laboratory all year round, mixed with the smell of wine, formed a strange smell, smelling like the night outside, charming and unpredictable.

After three bottles of beer in a row, Ye Shichao woke up from the sea of words, at this time Xin Pet was already slightly drunk, and when he saw Ye Shichao raising his head, he grinned and waved at him, "You finally saw me." ”

"Why didn't you call me when you came?" Ye Shichao looked at the empty wine bottle in the place and knew that she had waited for a long time, so he got up apologetically and put away the papers in the place. She staggered to her feet, wanting to help, but he sat down on the couch, then poured her a cup of tea, looked at the bag of beer, and frowned, "Are you going to get drunk with me today?"

"yes, I won't be able to drink it from tomorrow. Xin Pet put the teacup aside and went to get the wine, "Life must be happy, you have to drink with me tonight." ”

Ye Shichao snatched the wine from her hand, his dark eyes firm, "Now is not the time to give up." Until 8 a.m. tomorrow morning, there are still 10 hours left at the police station, and we still have a lot to do in those 10 hours. ”

"For example......" Xin Pet took advantage of the wine, reached out to hook his neck, kissed him on the lips, and then smirked: "Like this?"

The unique fragrance on her body was catalyzed by the smell of wine, which was even more attractive, Ye Shichao was a little confused for a while, and couldn't help but bow his head and kiss her, venting the pressure of this time in her tenderness.

After a long time, the two separated, Xin Pet was dizzy and panting from the kiss, looked up at the door, and laughed evilly, "We seem to be cheating." ”

Ye Shichao let go of her, closed the door, and put the appetizers she brought on the table one by one, "I still have something to do, I can't drink, but I can accompany you to eat something." ”

"Good. Xin Pet didn't mind at all, he opened another can of beer, took two sips, kissed him again, and finally looked up and asked, "Will you be drunk too?"

Ye Shichao's whole body was teased by her, he lowered his head and kissed her again, and said helplessly: "If you do this again, I really have to get drunk." It's not the time to get drunk yet, and I still have a lot to do. ”

His voice was gentle but very firm, Xin Pet no longer pestered him, but when he sat down, his expression was inevitably lonely.

Perhaps seeing through the loneliness in her expression, Ye Shichao pointed to the stack of papers on the desk and explained: "I've been wondering recently if the signal left by my father can be solved in a different way. My father was very knowledgeable and had a wide range of academic knowledge, and after pretending to be a dumb man, he must have been very bored, and I wondered if it was possible that he had read all the papers of everyone in our lab. After all, he is in danger of being exposed all the time, and if I only set the password as the center point, it will be too easy to be interpreted, and if the amount of data is too large, it will be difficult for non-professionals in this field to solve it, so I decided to read all the papers. I've been watching it for half a month, these are the last ones, I will definitely be able to read them before dawn, you wait a minute. ”

Xin Pet looked at the dark blue in his eyes, tears welled up in his eyelashes, "Since you said believe me, I am not afraid of going to prison, you can check slowly, I am waiting for you to rescue me in prison." ”

"If I hurry up, I'll make you suffer less. Ye Shichao said, sat aside, and ate a few chopsticks dishes, "Sit down, let's eat together." ”

Xin Pet drank all the beer alone, drunk on the sofa, in the haze, she felt someone cover her with a blanket, the blanket was soft and warm, she muttered twice, and fell back into the dream.

When I woke up, it was already the second day, and I didn't know when there were three more whiteboards in the office, Ye Shichao frowned and stood in front of the whiteboard, looking at the dense words and numbers on a whiteboard, his expression was terrifyingly serious.

After a while, I heard him drop the marker pen in his hand and breathe a sigh of relief, "It's out! Call Team Liu." ”
