Sleepless nights.

Li Jie remembered a lot of the past.

I remember that when Jing Ruohan first came, he chased himself for a few streets, and he couldn't wait to be happy; I remember Jing Ruohan's embarrassment that she doesn't know how to use the toilet; I remember the white shadow that disappeared behind me instantly after I turned on the vacuum cleaner for the first time; I remember that when facing the bloodthirsty and greedy wolf, Jing Ruohan gave up his life without hesitation......

For so long, Jing Ruohan's own gradually passing life period is like a piercing bone deep in Li Jie's heart. No matter what Li Jie does, he can't forget the pain, and behind the short-term happiness and false peace is a deep anxiety and sadness.

It wasn't until dawn this morning that Li Jie, who felt the warmth and delicate body in his arms, really smiled comfortably.

Because a way to rescue Jing Ruohan will soon be found.

Li Jie no matter how difficult and dangerous the future is. The firm belief in finding Jing Ruohan's vitality made Li Jie not feel any worries.

This is not what Li Jie should do, but what he must do!

The warmth of the night made Li Jie, who was a little tired, full of excitement.

After kissing goodbye, Li Jie didn't let his wife get up.

Hearing a noise in the living room, Li Jie concluded that Wang Rongqin should have returned.

When I got out of the bedroom door, I saw the phone ringing. After reading it, I found that Liu Yuan was urging, because I had originally made an appointment to go to the city bureau today to continue the investigation.

At this time, nothing could stop Li Jie from leaving.

Li Jie asked Wang Rongqin to take good care of Tan Lang in his absence, and instructed him to be vigilant against the "Judgment Sect" hidden in the shadows. After a solemn explanation, he handed the notebook to her.

Due to the long distance to go, Li Jie must pass through Wang Rongqin's super era space travel technology to reach it as soon as possible.

Ten minutes later, Li Jie, who was alone, found an unnamed bar on the edge of the desert. Pushing open the two creaky hanging wooden doors, Li Jie walked in......

When he came, Li Jie called Lao Yu, who asked him to wait at this bar.

Looking up and seeing an old Chinese man standing behind the bar, Li Jie suddenly felt very cordial. Glancing at the empty wooden tables around him, Li Jie, who did not pause, walked straight to the wooden chair by the bar and sat down.

The boss, dressed in a dark gray cloth coat, looked to be about fifty years old, and was wiping his plate with his head down. Although the plate in his hand was clean and shiny, the old man still kept carefully wiping every edge with a rag.

Li Jie's entrance did not attract the attention of the boss, as if the boss did not notice the arrival of a guest until Li Jie's figure sat in front of him. He didn't say anything or put down what he was holding, he just habitually took out a full glass of beer from under the bar and threw it on the table.

During the whole process, the boss didn't look at Li Jie squarely.

Li Jie didn't care about the cold reception, but after glancing at the beer in front of him, he was stunned in embarrassment and then shook his hand and said, "I, want, water." ”

I don't know if the old Chinese man on the other side understands Chinese? Li Jie spoke slowly, and at the same time kept waving his hand with his finger on the beer.

The boss looked at him lightly, and the latter happily replaced the beer with water.

The water here is clean and has a hint of sweetness. It may be that the hot and dry temperature here made Li Jie mistakenly think that the water was taken out of the refrigerator, with a cool feeling. So that after he drank a few gulps, he still had a lingering aftertaste.

The bar was small, but it was unusually empty with only the owner and Li Jie. An old record player sits on a wooden chair next to the wine cabinet at the bar, and the ultra-deep bass songs that play as they spin are soothing.

After a long time, not a single customer entered the bar.

Li Jie can understand that opening a bar on the edge of the desert is a very lonely choice. Looking at the silent boss who was always focusing on wiping one plate after another, Li Jie sighed in his heart that he had stayed in this lonely environment for a long time, and no matter who he was, he had to find a monotonous "hobby" that could pass the time for a long time.

I looked at my watch and was surprised to find that I had been there for almost three hours. Feeling bored, time finally became fast, and Li Jie, who couldn't bear it, took out his mobile phone and dialed Lao Yu's number.

The phone went through, but no one answered.

But what made Li Jie strange was that at the same time as he made the call, the ringtone of the phone came from the bar.

Just under Li Jie's puzzled gaze, the boss in front of him had already wiped the plate in his hand clean, and carefully **** the neat cabinet behind him. He reached for his phone under the bar and handed it to the table.

After glancing at it, Li Jie no longer had any doubts, the mobile phone that kept ringing on the table displayed his phone number.

The boss pressed the refuse button, and Li Jie's ears suddenly sounded a blind sound.

"You're Lao Yu?" Li Jie looked at the other party again. Surprised, why did the other party see him come in and didn't ask? Let yourself wait so long in vain.

If you praise Lao Yu for being cautious, it will inevitably seem a little too cautious.

"Yes, I'm Lao Yu." Lao Yu's face did not have any expression, and two calm eyes in his wrinkled eyes looked directly at Li Jie.

"From the time you entered the store until now, it was a total of two hours and fifty-two minutes...... "Lao Yu has no clock in his shop, and he doesn't have a watch on his wrist, but he can accurately tell the time. Such a strange situation made Li Jie wonder if the other party had been silently counting the seconds in his heart until now.

Li Jie's obedient voice is not difficult to judge that the other party has been observing him for a long time. But thinking about the fact that for such a long time, only the two of them were alone. As long as the boss asks Li Jie's name or briefly introduces his surname, Li Jie doesn't have to sit here like a fool until now.

Annoyed, Li Jie was a little unhappy and said, "You have been paying attention to me for so long, did you already guess that I was here to find you?" ”

Unexpectedly, Lao Yu said lightly: "From the moment you entered the door, I knew who you were." ”

Li Jie snorted, unconvinced. But I heard Lao Yu continue: "From the previous phone call, I know that you are a man, of Chinese descent, and will not be more than twenty-five years old...... The jacket on your body is obviously not made locally, and you can only buy it in stores in mainland cities. And there is no wind and sand on your clothes, and there is no thick dust on your shoes, proving that you have not walked too much, and it is unlikely that you are a traveler on a long journey...... And from the fact that you didn't say a word to me when you sat down through the door, I can clearly tell that you're waiting for someone, so you don't need to say hello to anyone else. ”
