Volume XXVIII
Fifty-five secrets exposed
Cars roared past Tang Peng's eyes. The sound of car horns of all kinds fills the streets. Irritable. Annoying. And the crowds come and go. Still numb and calm through the busy and noisy streets. Tang Peng frowned and looked at the door of the closed "Aftertaste Restaurant" in front of him. Elsewhere. A man was sitting there quietly. A serious flip through the book in hand. That look. Like a literati who has no quarrel with the world. And in this bustling and noisy street. The man also inadvertently became an eye-catching sight.
But. He just sat there.
This devil who has killed countless innocent people is as simple as that. Sitting there unabashedly, the demon who had revealed himself to the whole city five years ago (see the end of the first part and the end of the tenth case). It's as straightforward as that. Sit there peacefully
What's wrong with the people around you. No one recognized him. Nobody cares.
Tang Peng stood there alone in a daze. As if the whole street. He was the most suspicious person
After a long time. Tang Peng finally figured it out. But he got the answer. But I didn't feel a little relieved. In today's numb and selfish society. Everyone has only themselves in their eyes. Others. No matter who it is. It's just an episode in my own life, even if this person is a devil with blood on his hands. Man is also a forgetful animal. Another unforgettable pain. What a terrible experience. Five years. It's enough to forget about it. Erase the last. Chinese people are also the most afraid of gossip in the body. Even if you perceive something. And it will only stay in the heart. I don't think about it. Not to mention going to action. Then he returned home safely. Aftertaste. Fade. Delete
Tang Peng slowly raised his head. Subconsciously glanced at the patrol officer in the distance. But then he immediately sank his head (the implicit meaning of this paragraph is not easy to write clearly because he is afraid of being harmonized. Curious readers can go back and relive some of the episodes of the sixth case of the sequel)
Whereas. The man apparently didn't notice Tang Peng. Still quietly looking at his book. But at this time, Tang Peng was so excited that he almost lost control. The relationship between the two of them is too complicated. It's also too incomprehensible for many years to confidant friends. Rival to death. Absolute enemy. Detectives and criminals even calm and mature like Tang Peng. I also had to get up, so I took advantage of this time to give up everything. Rush over with the idea of ending everything. Even if the thought is just a flash of time. Minute by minute. The crowds and vehicles around are still noisy. Annoying. And finally. Tang Peng restrained himself. Adjust your mood. Walked over slowly
Tao Ran quietly held the book in his hand alone. It was as if I was fascinated by the stories in the book. Unconsciously lose track of time. also forgot about the surroundings until Tang Peng sat silently across from him. Only then did he realize that
"I'm sorry. This location is manned. I'm waiting for my friend."
Tang Peng glared at him coldly. Those eyes seemed to turn into two fire-breathing dragons at this moment. almost rushed out of his eyes and rushed straight to Tao Ran, "I. . . Definitely not your friend."
The other party's cold and familiar voice was like a scoop of cold water. Splashed straight at Tao Ran. He was a little stunned. He looked up. He frowned slightly and stared at Tang Peng with strange eyes for a long time. Suddenly, he laughed out loud:
"I'm sorry. TANG Peng. I didn't recognize you for a while, but I didn't recognize you. In just a few years. It's a bit too unexpected for you to grow like this. You seem to be coming early. Hehe. Isn't there three days left before the time we agreed?"
"For Tao Ran's ridicule. Tang Peng didn't take it to heart at all. At this time, his mind was constantly racing. Thinking about him alone. There are ambushes around. What secrets are hidden in the "aftertaste restaurant" that has closed its doors inexplicably. This meeting is not a trap. And. I'm not going to be in danger of this demon doing things that don't follow common sense. Although put in the past. I don't care if I live or die. But if I die here. What to do with crystal. What to do with the child in Crystal's belly. At this time, I. And what to do
If only before. At this time, Tang Peng must be thinking about Tao Ran's next plan. and how to thwart his plots. But. Now he. But unconsciously only think about their own safety, no matter how mature a person is. What integrity. When there are concerns and concerns. will unconsciously become selfish. Selfish creatures after all. It's nowhere near as noble as I imagined.
"A cold sweat. Eyes wander. looked cringe, Tang Peng. You're scared." Tao Ran looked intently, as if he had aged ten years old in an instant. His face was a little surprised and puzzled. It's not like you at all. I'm afraid I'll be bad for you. But you're afraid that you have a concern in your heart. About whom. CHENG Shuai. Not like. Chang Jing."
Tang Peng's body suddenly twitched violently. raised his head and glared at Tao Ran viciously. But restrain yourself right away. Instantly restored to a calm face:
"I don't know what you're talking about"
"Sure enough, it's Chang Jing," Tao Ran picked up the coffee cup. I took a shallow sip. He said with a natural and indifferent expression. That moment. Your expression is agitated and angry. The gaze is fierce and alert. Like an angry lion and. Or a male lion who is alert to the danger of his child."
Moment. Every cell in Tang Peng's body became alert. He unconsciously focused all his energy on his gaze. Locked Tao Ran:
"You. . . Got something."
"Actually, I didn't know anything. It was the look on your face that you just said to me." Tao Ran didn't care about Tang Peng, who was already nervous to the brink of an outbreak. Go on." As a husband. It's not wrong to worry about your wife. But there have always been concerns about Changjing. And you suddenly became so sensitive at that moment. It's so unusual. Do you know. A lot of the time. Man still retains animal instincts. And this instinct will unconsciously burst out in some critical moments. Like what. When you realize that your flesh and blood are in danger. Even if it's just for a short moment, just like you Changjing just now. Pregnant, isn't it?"
Fifty-six is hard to fathom
"Poof". Tang Peng stood up suddenly. The seat at his feet was swept back several meters by the force of the sudden impact." "Bang" fell to the side of the road. attracted a burst of attention from the surrounding pedestrians, but at this time, Tang Peng. Positions have been completely forgotten . Forgot about restraint. I forgot where I was. I even forgot the purpose of my trip. The pair of fire-breathing eyes glared at Tao Ran desperately:
"If you dare to move a single hair. I"
Tao Ran suddenly stretched out a hand. Stop Tang Peng's talk. At the same time stand up and walk to the side of the road to pick up the fallen seat. Then he moved back quietly. Put it behind Tang Peng. Then slowly paced back to your place and sat down:
"Tang Peng. Don't get excited just yet. Sit down and say. Sit down first."
Tang Peng, who had lost his temper for the first time since he was sensible, also regained his composure a little at this time. He sat down slowly. A pair of eyes stared at Tao Ran. Silent.
However. Waited for a while. Tao Ran didn't speak. Just drinking coffee on my own
Tang Peng had never felt that time had been so long. It seems as if centuries have passed every second. Every second grows so long that he suffocates. Every second turns into a thousand tons of pressure. It weighed heavily on his heart
"Congratulations. Brother."
Suddenly. A calm and soft word came into Tang Peng's ears, whose nerves had been stretched into a thread. He looked up in amazement. A face distorted by exaggerated makeup is full of surprise. However. From Tao Ran's words. Tang Peng couldn't hear a trace of abnormality. A hint of hostility. Instead. But I clearly felt a trace of peace and natural warmth. A heartfelt blessing from a friend
"Less of this." Also at this time. Tang Peng's sanity gradually recovered. He gradually returned to his usual calm and mature detective." I don't know what you're happing though. But. I'm not going to let you get away with it."
"Hehe" Tao Ran smiled and shook his head. With a bit of bitterness. But there was no rebuttal.
Tang Peng held his right elbow with his left hand. Press your right thumb and index finger down on your chin. A pair of deep eyes once again glowed with a charming brilliance. He looked up and looked around again. His gaze lingered for a moment at the door of the closed "Aftertaste Restaurant" behind Tao Ran. The brow furrowed. turned to look at Tao Ran:
"You. . . Come alone."
"Hehe" Tao Ran certainly saw what Tang Peng was thinking. He smiled helplessly. He replied calmly. Oh, yes. Alone. What do you think. Do you want to subdue me now?"
"Inside that 'aftertaste restaurant'. Hostage isn't it?" Tang Peng looked at him coldly. The tone is serious and calm.
"What do you think?" Smiling. Tao Ran took a sip of his coffee. Ouch. Bitter to death. Forgot to add sugar."
"Liu Min is also inside. Isn't it?"
"You, you. I still like to get to the point so directly." Tao Ran put down the coffee. Sighing helplessly. Alas. Didn't I say that. You're early. There are still three full days left before our agreed time. So. Now me. I don't want to talk about that."
Tang Peng's brows furrowed suddenly. looked at Tao Ran repeatedly. The eyes seem to glow. Keep an eye on him. Refuse to let go of any momentary change of expression on his face. But. I couldn't see anything on that old and unusually mature face, and there was not a trace of flaw in it. Tang Peng's brows furrowed even deeper, this guy really didn't seem to care about the previous agreement. He also planned to ask me about the murderer (Tao Ran asked Tang Peng to bring the murderer of the recent bombing case in exchange for the hostage Liu Min in his hands. See chapters 23 and 24 of this case).
"Words. Didn't Chen Xi come?" Tao Ran asked suddenly. A pair of eyes stared faintly at the name plate with Chen Xi's name written on it on the dining table. With a hint of melancholy." He. Sure enough, he refused to come. Right?"
As soon as I heard Tao Ran mention Chen Xi. Tang Peng's heart suddenly became a little complicated. He opened his mouth to say something. But when I saw Tao Ran's melancholy eyes. Inexplicably a little touched. I don't know why. Tang Peng swallowed the words that had just come to his mouth. Lay your head in yourself. I took a sip of my coffee. Do not respond.
"Unconsciously. Five years without seeing time. It's really going by so fast." Talking. Tao Ran raised his eyes alone and looked into the distance. As if talking to oneself.
Tang Peng frowned again. Regardless of his and Tao Ran's positions at this time. The current atmosphere alone made him a little confused. It's like nostalgia. It's like emotion. It's like parting
"That guy. Eighty percent are being served at home by the boiling family law. Ha ha. Imagine that picture, Chen Xi, that guy was stripped down to a pair of panties. Then he was kicked out of the house. Ha ha. Then the guy lay down next to the door with a handful of snot and tears. Crying and begging for forgiveness while banging on the door hahahaha. That's right. If I'm not mistaken. That guy hasn't changed his problem of watching cartoons anymore. I don't know there's a Smurf on that panty hahahaha."
"It's SpongeBob SquarePants." Tang Peng sipped his coffee. While unconsciously interjecting. Even he didn't know why he bothered with Tao Ran.
"SpongeBob SquarePants." Tao Ran's eyes widened. looked at Tang Peng in surprise. Some don't believe it. At this time he. Not at all like a demon with blood on his hands. It's as if he's just a mortal who can't be more ordinary. A young man who cares about his friends' gossip. One. The mask can be removed. Ordinary people who really talk to their friends.
"Yes. Chen Xi, that guy lived in my Ssangyong detective agency for a few days not long ago, and I accidentally saw it."
Tao Ran stared at Tang Peng with a smile for a long time. Suddenly laughed out loud with a "poof":
"Hahahaha. Sea. SpongeBob SquarePants"
Tang Peng put the coffee in his mouth. but he did not drink it; Quietly raised a pair of sharp eyes and looked at Tao Ran carefully again, and couldn't tell if he was making a scene, Tao Ran. What the hell are you planning?
(Ending interjection. That one. Since this is really the "last case" of "Ssangyong Detective Agency", this story is finished. It represents the complete end of the book. There will definitely not be a third part coming to mind here. I unconsciously slowed down the update speed. Lengthens the storyline about this. I apologize to all readers and friends. I'm sorry, but after all, I didn't know it for so many years. Whenever I think about it to be completely finished. There's something weird in my heart. Empty, of course, it's just wishful thinking on my part. I guess readers are tired of this slow update book, sorry. It's a waste of time. I'll finish it as soon as I can.)
