In the private room of the hotel, Zhengji gave the menu handed by the waiter to Yang Liping, she ordered a few at random and handed it to Wang Liang, Wang Liang also chose a few favorite foods, Zhengji handed over the menu to the waiter, the waiter took the menu and withdrew, and after a while, the steaming meal was served.

"Sister Yang, I heard that this time we have made a big gain in this mission, and we have also seized a lot of drugs", Wang Liang looked at Yang Liping and said with bright eyes.

"Well, there are quite a few," Yang Liping replied with a bit of absent-mindedness.

"There are a lot of gold bars and cash, Sister Yang doesn't know if you have seen it, so much, my eyes are about to be shook, I have never seen so much money in my life", Wang Liang recalled the scene at that time in a trance, shook his head and said: "Sister Yang, after solving such a big case this time, you will definitely be promoted again, congratulations first."

Yang Liping listened to it and said disapprehantly: "Let's talk about it then, but you will definitely be able to turn from the internship period to a regular job."

Yang Liping suddenly raised her head and glanced at Zhengji, who was eating silently, and asked, "Zhengji, today's incident may not be as simple as rescuing the old man, right?"

Masaki raised his head, thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Well, the old man is just a mother of a witness, in order for him to testify, I have to rescue her, and as for the rest, I can't tell you too much, in a day or two, you will probably know."

"Something to do with the deputy mayor?", Yang Liping looked at Masaki and recalled some of the news he revealed when he was on the phone in the car.

"Hmm", Masaki didn't say anything more and nodded.

Yang Liping didn't ask again, she thought of today's date, and continued: "It's almost the New Year, are you going to spend it in the deep city?"

Zhengji thought that today is the end of December, and in a few days, his classmates will probably have a holiday, and they are probably studying hard for the past two days, but he is still running around in the field, he shook his head and said: "Probably not, I will go back in a few days."

"Oh", Yang Liping lowered her head, stirred the rice in the bowl, and nodded in response, unable to see her expression.

"Will you come back later?" asked after a while, looking up at Masaki with a hint of anticipation.

"Maybe," Masaki replied after a moment's thought.

"What about you, is your home in the deep city?" asked Zhengji, looking at Yang Liping.

"Well, not far from the police station is my home, which is the police assigned housing, my father is also a police officer, and I am also a daughter inheriting my father's business, he has hoped that I can become a police officer since I was a child" Yang Liping said with a trace of memory.

"Well, then your father must be happy to have a daughter like you now," Masaki said.

"Maybe, my father is no longer there," Yang Liping's voice suddenly said in a low voice.

"I'm sorry, I'm embarrassed to ask you about something sad", Zhengji listened, but he didn't expect that Yang Liping's father in front of him was no longer there.

"It's okay, my father went early, and when I was in high school, I got used to it all these years," Yang Liping said with some nostalgia after taking a sip of her drink.

"These years must have been very hard", Masaki suddenly felt a little pity for the policewoman who was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

"At first, there were some, but slowly I got used to it," Yang Liping said with a smile.

Sometimes, when a person gets used to being difficult, the difficulty becomes no longer as difficult as imagined.

The atmosphere in the banquet was suddenly a little gloomy, Wang Liang stopped talking, and several people finished eating in this somewhat dull atmosphere.

Outside the restaurant, Zhengji walked out after paying the money, saw Yang Liping at the door, looked at his watch, it was already past eleven o'clock, and there were only a few people left on the street.

Wang Liang answered the phone, it turned out that there was something wrong with the police station, and as a direct participant, he had to go back to work overtime, so he left first.

"Then I'll go first, bye-bye", Yang Liping looked at Wang Liang's back, and said to Zhengji.

"It's so late, won't you be safe alone, or I'll send you", Masaki said after thinking about it.

"It's okay, I'm a policeman, who is so bold to trouble me, you can leave with confidence", Yang Liping pointed to the police uniform on her body and said.

"You're a lady first, then a police officer, how can I let a lady walk alone in the middle of the night," Masaki joked.

Yang Liping thought about it, then nodded and agreed.

Yang Liping's home is not far from here, that is, about a kilometer, Zhengji and her are walking side by side on the road, the moonlight is sprinkled on the ground, and the shadows of the two overlap together.

Yang Liping tightened her shoulders, although Shencheng is a southern city, and the temperature is not low in all seasons, but tonight there was a little wind, and she felt a chill when she was only wearing a police uniform.

Zhengji felt her movements, thought about it, took off his coat and draped it on her shoulders, Yang Liping glanced at him, and walked forward silently with his coat.

The two walked in silence, neither of them spoke, but there was a tacit understanding between the two.

Finally, in front of a family building, Yang Liping stopped, looked up at the window on the fifth floor, and said to Zhengji: "I've arrived, and the one with the lights on the fifth floor is my house."

Masaki also looked up at the only one in the entire building with the lights on, and asked, "Are you and your mother the only ones in the house?"

Yang Liping nodded, took off Zhengji's coat, handed it to him, and said with a hint of tenderness on her face: "Well, now it's me and my mother, my brother has gone to other places, since I became a policeman, no matter morning or night, my mother has to wait until I go home before going to sleep, and she doesn't listen to what she says a few times."

Masaki looked at the room with the lights on and said, "The old man cares about you, go back early, good night."

"Good night", Yang Liping took one last look at Zhengji, bit her lip, and suddenly opened her hands to hug Zhengji, before she blushed and said, "Actually, I'm also your fan", after speaking, she ran towards the corridor.

Masaki looked at her back in a daze, and it wasn't until he disappeared into the depths of the corridor that he turned his head and walked towards the road.

Yang Liping ran upstairs out of breath, opened the door as fast as she could, and shouted to her mother in the kitchen: "Mom, I'm back", and then went straight to the balcony, opened the window, and looked at the back of Zhengji who had not gone far, looking at it stupidly, she knew that she was probably the last time she saw each other, he and she were like two parallel lines, they were just following their own tracks, there was no possibility of intersecting, he was too dazzling and too good, and he was destined to be just a passerby in his life.

Masaki, who was walking on the street, seemed to feel the gaze behind him, and when he looked back, he found the one with the lights on the building, a familiar figure standing on the balcony, he showed a big smile, and he didn't care if the other party saw it or not, and waved his hand vigorously in the direction of the window.

Masaki who walked to the road, after waiting for a while, was lucky enough to wait for a taxi, and after reporting the address, the taxi driver drove forward smoothly, and he closed his eyes, felt tired, and fell asleep unconsciously.

"Sir, sir, wake up", the taxi driver's cry woke up the tired Masaki, Masaki opened his hazy eyes, vaguely saw the door of the hotel, and asked in a daze: "I'm sorry, I fell asleep just now, how much is it?"

"Twenty in all," replied the taxi driver.

Zhengji paid the money and got out of the car, the cold wind blew, which made him shiver when he was still a little confused, and then he sobered up a little and walked into the hotel.

"Click", Masaki opened the door of the room, casually put his clothes on the hanger, stripped himself naked three times and twice, and didn't even want to take a shower, so he lay down on the soft bed, and after a while, Masaki snored slightly from the bed.
