22. Crows

and Xie Weishi made an appointment at the underground café "Boxingdi" opposite the Yanda Library.

Xie Weishi was reluctant to leave her a mobile phone number, nor did he give her any other contact information. Not wanting to miss this opportunity to meet him, Fang Chi ran from the school gate to the "Poxing Land". She had just recovered from a serious illness, and when she ran to the "Poxing Land", she was already sweating profusely, and the time was just eight o'clock in the evening, and it was dark outside.

However, the location near the indoor spider plant agreed with Xie Weishi was still empty.

Fang Chi searched the entire Boxing Land in all directions, but there was no trace of Xie Weishi. She just stood and waited for five minutes. Five minutes later, she suddenly turned around and was about to stride away, but she hit her head on top of a man.

This person's chest was very hard, and she had a head injury, but this time she hit her eyes. Look at the dress, simple T-shirt and jeans, a slender figure that can't be hidden, and a cool mint smell on the body.

It's Xie Weishi.

When did he stand behind her? Silent, silent, and not talking, just waiting to see her jokes?

Fang Chi was about to have a seizure, and when he raised his head, he didn't speak.

The first time I saw him without a mask.

Jun's eyes were thin, the bridge of his nose was straight, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, as if he was smiling, but Fang Chi knew that he was not smiling. When he laughs, those eyes curl up.

Although he had already seen his file photo, Fang Chi was still surprised when he saw his true appearance. He is very handsome, but he is not Sheng Yan's bright and dazzling kind.

Fang Chi could hardly describe the feeling, it was like the green branches and green leaves of the forest in the early morning, and the handsomeness was moist with mist and dew.

Fang Chi didn't open his eyes, and when the corner of his eye swept to Xie Wei, he also looked away from her face almost at the same time.

The café was noisy, and many students gathered here to discuss their homework. Three or four tall white students walked over with a smile and a smile, squeezing the little girl wearing a black apron to Fang Chi's side. The tray in her hand held several cups of steaming coffee, and as soon as her center of gravity changed, the mug suddenly slid to the side, and she was about to splash her body.

Xie Weishi grabbed Fang Chi with one hand, raised it with the other, and blocked the trembling mugs with his arm. The little girl hurriedly stabilized the plate, and the mugs did not fall to the ground, but the hot coffee spilled out, splashing all over Xie Wei's arms.

The triangular sign on the little girl's chest was marked with the word "internship". She was at a loss for a while, and she didn't know what to do, so she had to bow to Xie Weishi and Fang Chi, and said in a loud voice: "I'm sorry!" I'm sorry! ”

Xie Weishi signaled that she was fine. Fang Chi took out a few tissues from the table and wiped the coffee on his arm.

Xie Weishi's forearm line with his sleeves rolled up was strong and smooth, and there were a few light-colored scars on it, which were injured by the broken wine bottle that she had blocked last time. The skin of the arm was burned and reddened, but fortunately there was no blistering.

Her fingers fell on Xie Weishi's arm through the tissue, Xie Weishi was stunned, pulled the tissue from her hand, and said in a low voice: "I'll do it myself." ”

Fang Chi's hand stopped in mid-air, raised his eyes to look at Xie Weishi, and lowered his hand.

Xie Weishi also seemed to see the embarrassment caused by this alienated refusal to the two, and said, "I don't mean anything else. I'm used to being alone, and I'm not used to being helped by others. ”

Hearing this, Fang Chi raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "You will slowly get used to it in the future." ”

“?”

Xie Weishi glanced at her in surprise. At this time, an older girl, also wearing a black apron, came over with the little girl who had just caused trouble. When she walked over, the girl's dark eyes kept circling Xie Weishi, looked at it several times, and smiled politely at Xie Weishi and said:

"I'm sorry, this junior sister only joined us yesterday, and she is not very familiar with this place. She and I apologize to you. As he spoke, he pulled the little intern girl and bowed to Xie Weishi.

Xie Weishi said: "You're welcome." ”

The older girl's pentagonal sign reads "Assistant Manager". She also looked like a student, twenty-three or four, a graduate student. looks bright and smooth, shelving Yan Dali, at least it is also the level of a courtyard flower.

She motioned for the intern girl to go back, and generously expressed her concern to Xie Weishi: "How are you hurt?" Why don't you go to the school hospital? We will pay for the medical expenses. ”

Xie Weishi said: "No need, it's okay." ”

Before the girl could finish speaking, he refused. Fang Chi thought slowly, what he said just now should be true.

The girl didn't mean to give up, and said with a smile: "We are so embarrassed that you were burned in our shop." Why don't we give you a membership card? In the future, come to us for more coffee and give you a 6% discount. ”

Fang Chi lowered his head and pursed his lips, looking at the vigorous growth of spider plants on the wall.

This girl is very smart, you have to ask for a mobile phone number to get a membership card, and the next thing to get a mobile phone number is logical.

It's just that she must be disappointed.

After all, she tossed for so long and didn't get Xie Weishi's contact information.

Sure enough, when she heard Xie Wei, she said, "Thank you, no need, I don't come often." ”

The girl was still soft-spoken and tried to persuade him, but when she heard Xie Weishi interrupt:

"You can get one for her, the same."

Fang Chi realized that he was referring to himself and held back a smile.

The girl really had a hard time riding a tiger, and she was embarrassed to say that she wanted Xie Weishi's contact information, so she could only say to Fang Chi: "Then please leave your contact information?" ”

used "you" instead of "you", which was very polite, and it was really different from when he was to Xie Wei.

Fang Chi took out a card and showed it to her, and said, "I have it." ”

Her card has been on for a long time, and she did it when she was an undergraduate at Yan University, and the edges of the "Boxingdi" print on the card surface are worn. This is an ordinary stored value point card, not a discount card.

The girl said, "Well...... The two of you are free of charge today. ”

Fang Chi was about to speak, but he heard Xie Weishi say, "Next time." He glanced at Fang Chi, "This time I said yes, she invited me." Have an American, a glass of freshly squeezed papaya juice without ice. ”

When the girl heard him talk about the next time, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Okay, my name is Sisi, and I am here on weekend nights, and you come to me directly." ”

Xie Weishi smiled and nodded.

Fang Chi said, "When did I say I was going to invite you?" ”

Xie Weishi smiled: "You didn't say it." ”

Fang Chi raised his eyebrows: "Then why did you just say that I want to invite you?" ”

Xie Weishi said: "I don't have any money. ”

Fang Chi: "......"

Americano and freshly squeezed papaya juice were quickly served. Fang Chi and Xie Weishi reached out to take the Americano at the same time, Fang Chi's hand touched Xie Weishi's hand, and subconsciously retracted it, and Xie Weishi took the Americano over by the way.

Fang Chi: "......"

Xie Weishi didn't move, and said, "You haven't eaten dinner yet, have you?" It's not good to drink coffee on an empty stomach, so I ordered papaya juice for you. ”

Fang Chi was speechless. Today was extremely tense and chaotic all day, and she hurried over, for fear that it would be difficult to find Xie Wei if she missed the time, so she did not eat dinner.

Sisi took an NFC near-field payment tablet, let Fang Chi's card lean over, and completed the payment. Fang Chi took a sip of papaya juice, which was rich and sweet, and drank it into the stomach, and there was indeed a kind of ironing comfort. Xie Weishi was fiddling with his phone.

Fang Chi asked, "Did you bring the USB flash drive here?" ”

Xie Weishi smiled lightly.

He said, "It depends on whether you bring the information I want or not." ”

Fang Chi said: "You don't want to get an inch, the seed of 'ice cracking' is not unique to you. ”

Xie Weishi still smiled shallowly: "But what I want, only you can give me." ”

“……”

The implication of his words is that if I don't use this to blackmail you, who else can I blackmail.

Fang Chi felt that chatting with this person, even if there were α inhibitors, it would be difficult to keep calm.

Fang Chi took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and put it on the table: "Everything you want is in it." ”

Xie Weishi glanced at the USB flash drive and said, "I discussed it last time, I want paper materials." ”

"Typing it out on paper, there are too many pages, and it's very unenvironmentally friendly."

"You use a small five-point font, single line spacing, and the margins are set to the minimum for typesetting, and you print on both sides, and I believe that thirty sheets of paper can be printed. Shi Zhengrong doesn't like long reports, and the materials of the 19th Bureau are generally very concise and concise. You can go to the print shop right now and call it for a dime. ”

"This is confidential material for me, and it is not safe for the print shop to play."

Xie Weishi glanced at Fang Chi and smiled. Fang Chi felt that there was a strong sense of uncertainty in that smile.

"I'll just say it straight, your material here must be fake."

"Why?"

"With your style of acting, even if you really give, how can you give me an electronic document? Aren't you afraid that I'll spread it? ”

Fang Chi smiled "heh", "Don't be smart, even if I give you a paper version, you scan it or take a photo, and it won't be spread?" ”

Xie Weishi also laughed: "Scan pictures or photos, you can find out the details of the device." Nowadays, electronic devices have user registration, this kind of investigation method commonly used by the 19th Bureau, do I not know? ”

Fang Chi's eyebrows tightened. This Xie Wei is really thoughtful.

She paused for a moment, and Xie Wei knew that her inference was correct. He leaned back in the chair with his hands on the back of his head, and said relaxedly:

"Well, I didn't bring it either."

“……”

Fang Chi really wanted to give him a middle finger, and the two of them were planning to trick each other tonight.

She slowly took a sip of papaya juice and said, "Xie Weishi, can you sue me for your account in Maandala?" ”

Xie Weishi smiled lightly: "I don't use Maandala." ”

Fang Chi sneered: "Without Maandala, how can you investigate the ruler between the eyebrows?" You asked me for the files of Sheng Qinghuai and the fox hunting operation, the ruler between the eyebrows is just a cover, right? ”

Xie Weishi said lightly: "I have no comment." ”

"Xie Weishi, can't we talk about cooperation?"

Xie Weishi smiled and looked at Fang Chi: "I don't even know who the person sitting across from me is, how can I talk about cooperation?" ”

He was still suspicious of her.

Fang Chi frowned slightly, and said, "You have checked my file, your resume is clear, how can you call not knowing who I am?" ”

"It's just too clear, and it doesn't feel real."

Fang Chi's heart jumped. Her files were all concocted by Shi Zhengrong for her. True and false, she has browsed it herself, and even the photos of the past have been re-forged according to her current appearance, and all the details are not lacking, and she can't see any flaws.

Xie Weishi is deceiving her, or is there real evidence?

"I don't understand what you mean." Fang Chi said bluntly.

Xie Weishi asked, "Have you stayed in school since you graduated?" ”

"Not bad."

"You've always worked at Yanda?"

"Yes." Fang Chi replied succinctly. She had already prepared answers to all the questions that might be asked, such as why no one had seen her? Because she lived off-campus during her studies, she rarely interacted with her classmates. And the job of an archivist is basically not to deal with people. Even when she was not in school, her work card records and the like were falsified, and there should be nothing wrong with this.

"Not really. You were out of school from January '16 to April of this year. ”

He was able to do this with such accuracy, and so accurately! Fang Chi was frightened, but after years of training, she didn't know how to show it at all. She took another sip of papaya juice casually, and said contemptuously: "You seem to know me better than I do." ”

Xie Weishi stood up and smiled: "Then there is really no way to cooperate." ”

"Wait a minute." Fang Chi also stood up and said, "Tell me, why do you know that I wasn't in school during that time. ”

"Your spending history here." Xie Weishi turned the mobile phone in his hand. "When you swiped your card just now, I used this mobile phone to read the membership management system of Boxingdi. - I'm sorry, but the information system of this café is so easy to crack. ”

"You have a habit of drinking coffee. Since 11 years, I have bought a cup of coffee here almost every day. However, this consumption record was abruptly interrupted from January '16 and did not resume intermittently until April of this year. ”

Fang Chi looked at Xie Wei for a while, laughed, and handed him his hand: "Fang Chi, a retired police officer of the Cyber Security Bureau." ”

Xie Weishi shook hands with her: "Xie Weishi, crow." ”

Fang Chi knew what "crow" meant. This is the name given to a class of anonymous hackers.

Ravens roam the dark web, taking on tasks from their employers to get paid, somewhat similar to bounty hunters.

Many hackers have been using the same name all the time, with the aim of becoming famous and establishing their reputation in the industry and even among the general public. However, the crows are the opposite, they are anonymous and only for the purpose of obtaining a bounty. The bounty price does not depend on their name, but on the difficulty of the task.

Xie Weishi asked: "The last time I saw you at the funeral, did you know Sheng Yan and Medusa?" ”

Fang Chi said: "Know." ”

"If you left school to join the Cyber Security Bureau, then you and Medusa joined the Cyber Security Bureau for the same time."

Fang Chi said: "Medusa and I are the same batch of female police officers recruited by the Cyber Security Bureau, and we are in different task groups under the 'Fox Hunt Operation'. I was probably a little bit luckier, but I retired due to injury. ”

Xie Weishi nodded.

Fang Chi said: "Since there is a showdown, then this transaction will continue." I'll go to the library and print it out for you, and you can go back and get me the 'Ice Crack' seeds, how about that?" ”

Xie Weishi thought for a moment, "Okay." ”

Fang Chi stretched out his hand: "You have to give me your mobile phone." ”

"Why?" He asked rhetorically.

"You're too cunning." Fang Chi laughed, "In case you are gone, how can I find you?" Or, you can give me your credit card. ”

Hearing her mention her credit card again, Xie Weishi also laughed. Fang Chi felt dazzled for a moment.

He thought about it, took out his mobile phone and handed it to Fang Chi.

Fang Chi took the mobile phone in his hand and turned it around, and pressed the "home" button. The screen lights up, and the pure black lock screen shows a fingerprint unlock.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll crack it?" She laughed. She didn't notice it herself, and her pale face moved.

"Try it, it'll blow up."

Xie Weishi's answer was very strict, and Fang Chi laughed "poof". They walked out of the "Boxingdi" café together, and the moonlight outside was like mercury on the ground, quiet and beautiful. The library opposite is brightly lit, and between the moonlight and the green pines, it is as brilliant and beautiful as a temple of gods.

When the two of them saw such a scene, they stopped in unison.

"We entered the same year, right?" Fang Chi said.

"Yes." Xie Weishi nodded.

Suddenly, I only felt that things were wrong. Whether it was her, Xie Weishi, or Sheng Yan, they were just a simple teenager when they entered the school. No one would have known that ten years later, it would be like this again. The world has not changed, but the things they carry have changed.

"I'll wait for you here." Fang Chi said. Xie Weishi nodded and left in the night.

Fang Chi took two turns under the library. It was a quiet night, and she didn't want to waste it. When the archival materials of the research center could not really be given to Xie Wei, she still needed to think of a way.

However, at this time, the mobile phone left by Xie Weishi suddenly rang, and the caller ID was "DF".

Fang Chi didn't plan to answer this call when he was metabolizing. However, the phone kept ringing. There was an interruption, and then it rang again.

Fang Chi finally scratched the "Answer" button. On the phone, an anxious and high-pitched girl's voice shouted:

"Thank you! You're fucking here to save me! ”
