"It's too condescending for a talented student majoring in computer science at MIT to work as a waiter in this small hotel." Yu Chihong got straight to the point.

Ling Lingyao turned her head to stare at Yu Chihong, her eyes dancing with a flame of rebellion. "You investigate me? What qualifications do you have to investigate me? ”

"If you are a good citizen who keeps to himself, of course I am not qualified. However, if you slander the police on the Internet and spread rumors, I am qualified. Wei Chihong's tone was soothing, as if he was catching up with an old friend, "Your father is a very good policeman, but you smear the police everywhere, how can you be worthy of your father who dedicated his life to the criminal police career?" ”

Ling Lingyao's gaze staring at him quickly became gloomy and cold. "What about the evidence? What evidence do you have to prove that I slandered the police and spread rumors on the Internet? ”

"Indeed, I have no direct evidence." Although Wei Chihong's tone was calm, he had the kind of majesty he was used to when handling cases, "But, you dare to swear in the name of your dead father, didn't you swear that you did?" ”

Ling Lingyao jumped up as if she had been pricked by a needle. "You're so vicious...... she was so pale, unable to say the rest of the words.

"If you don't have a guilty conscience, how can you be afraid to swear." Wei Chihong was still calm, "Captain Ling's death may have another hidden reason, but you can't deny all the police because of this." The vast majority of the police officers are loyal and conscientious, worthy of the police badge on their heads, just like Captain Ling did back then. You deny every police officer, don't you even deny your own father? ”

"My father is loyal to his duty and worthy of the police badge on his head, but what did he get in exchange!" Ling Lingyao snorted coldly, anger burning her, "In exchange, I was framed by my colleagues and died!" ”

"Framed by a colleague?" Wei Chihong looked at her in astonishment, "Why do you say that?" ”

Ling Lingyao's body trembled and sat down softly. She gritted her teeth and sat up straight. He no longer spoke, but leaned close to the window, his forehead against the windowpane, his wrist resting on the windowsill, and his chin resting on the back of his hand. Raindrops were sliding down on the glass, and outside was a foggy world, and the hot breath exhaled from the nose condensed on the glass, and the view was cut off.

"What do you know?" Wei Chihong's words broke the silence, and it seemed that even the rain was shattered, "I am investigating the truth of the incident seven years ago, if you can trust me, tell me what you know, the original." If you can't believe me, I won't force it, but I can tell you that my own sister was also one of the hostages who was kidnapped in the incident seven years ago. Before she could be rescued, she was killed. I, like you, am a family member of the victims,

Our mood should be the same. ”

"No-" Ling Lingyao stretched out her voice, she replied softly, her empty tone was like a falling raindrop, "You won't understand my feelings, if my father died in the fight with criminals, I would feel unsurpassed glory for him, but he died at the hands of his own people." I have no place to complain, and I can't tell ...... bitterness."

Wei Chihong was about to continue asking questions, but was interrupted by Ling Lingyao. "I don't want to go on this topic." She looked up and stared at the large white mist on the glass, "I admit that I sent the posts and photos online. Whatever you want with me, whatever you want. ”

"I hope you can repost the real situation online and solemnly apologize for your previous actions." Wei Chihong looked at her, his face was serious, but his eyes were soft and earnest, "Because of your irresponsible remarks, you seriously hurt all the policemen who rushed to the scene that night and participated in the rescue work." Everyone suffered, but in exchange for malicious derogation and unwarranted scolding. Compare your heart to your heart, and if it is you, you will not feel chilled when you are treated unfairly like this? I don't ask you to deliberately embellish, just write the real situation you see in its original form. Of course, if you don't want to, I can't force it, but we will deal with this matter in accordance with the relevant provisions of the "Public Security Punishment Law of the People's Republic of China" and the "Measures for the Administration of International Internet Security Protection of Computer Information Networks". Ling Sijie's daughter was punished for breaking the law, and if it gets out, your father's reputation will be completely ruined in your hands. ”

"You're threatening me?" Ling Lingyao glared at him hatefully.

"It's not a threat, I'm just telling the truth." There was a sarcastic smile on Yu Chihong's lips, "I have always sought truth from facts, unlike some people, who like to fabricate out of thin air and make something out of nothing." ”

Ling Lingyao suddenly felt furious. "Please leave immediately, I'm not interested in talking nonsense with you again!" After she gave the eviction order, she turned her head to stare out the window and ignored Wei Chihong.

Yu Chihong stood up calmly and said slowly: "I believe you will make the right choice." In addition, since you are Qiao Ran's good friend, I also advise you as a friend, don't be too sharp, your father had high hopes for you when he was alive, and he definitely didn't want to see you destroy your future because of him, and you will never be happy again. Come to me when you will say anything about your father. I don't dare to say that I am a good person, but I can guarantee in good conscience that I am definitely not a bad person. You think about it, goodbye! ”

He walked out of the door of the café, and a large drop of rain dropped from the eaves, which fell on the concrete floor of the courtyard and shattered. How many raindrops have been broken, and how many beautiful things that were once like these raindrops were shattered in the incident seven years ago!

Ling Lingyao sat motionless, and it wasn't until Wei Chihong's footsteps were far away that she turned around, and the mist condensed into water droplets and fell from her eyes. She turned her head again, staring blankly out the window at the confused world.

At this time, Qiao Yan was also sitting in front of the window, the empty office was full of loneliness, Mo Yuqing and Wan Xing were hospitalized, Zeng Jinling had something to do when she went back to school, and she was left alone. She looked at the large piece of water vapor on the glass, and subconsciously, she used her fingers to draw words on the water vapor, and what she drew out at random was the name of Yu Chihong. The handwriting paused on the glass for a few seconds, and after a moment, even the fog disappeared along with it.

"Sister Qiao Yan." Lai Feng walked in, and he called all his colleagues older than him "sister", and he was very affectionate.

The sudden sound startled Qiao Yan, and when she turned around, Lai Feng looked at her with a smile. "Sister Qiao Yan, my master asked me to send a material to Lord Wei Chi, but he is not here. Can you send it to you for safekeeping, and when he comes back, I can help him get it, so that I don't have to run again. ”

"Okay, let me go here." Qiao Yan readily agreed.

Lai Feng thanked him and was about to leave, Qiao Yan stopped him and asked, "Xiao Lai, is your master okay lately?" ”

Lai Feng shook his head slightly. "It doesn't seem good, he's literally in the lab. A few days ago, Sister Shuhua accompanied him to play Go to relieve his boredom, and now Sister Shuhua can't accompany him. However, I heard that Sister Shuhua was discharged from the hospital in two days. ”

Qiao Yan remembered that day when Li Shuhua went to Yu Chihong with a Go book, and asked, "Do they often play Go together?" ”

"Master said that when he was in school, he, Sister Shuhua and Master Wei Chi all liked to play Go, but after work, there was basically no time." Lai Feng told her that it was Cao Chongshan who found a chess game from the relics of a victim not long ago, and after studying it with Li Shuhua for a long time, he rekindled his interest in Go.

Qiao Yan curiously asked who the victim was, but Lai Feng said that he didn't know, and only heard the master say that the victim was involved in a secret case, which could not be investigated publicly, and he was not qualified to participate.

After Lai Feng left, Qiao Yan used her fingers to scribble boringly on the glass again. The rain connected the sky and the earth outside the window into a chaotic piece, just like her chaotic state of mind at this time.

"What information do you ask Wanxing to check?"

"I can't tell you, it's confidential."

The conversation between her and Yu Chihong a long time ago suddenly crossed her ears. The investigation into that hidden case has been going on for a long time and is still ongoing, right? Li Shuhua and Cao Chongshan both knew, and even Wan Xing was involved, and her relationship with Wei Chihong was the closest, but she was excluded. Is it because she is only an external employee, not a police officer, and cannot participate according to the regulations, or is there another reason?

The footsteps made her jump sharply again, and when she turned around, Lu Bin was striding in, he was wearing a police uniform today, and he was handsome. Qiao Yan stood up and felt her face heat up, as if she was a child who was making a mistake. Subconsciously, she staggered to cover the glass window with Yu Chihong's name written on it with her back.

Lu Bin didn't notice what she wrote at all, he looked irritable, took off the big cap on his head and rested it on the table, threw his body into the sofa chair next to him, covered his mouth with his hands, and yawned.

"Didn't sleep well last night?" Qiao Yan cares.

"How can you sleep well?" Lu Bin took out a box of cigarettes and a lighter, "Don't you mind if I smoke a cigarette?" ”

"Whatever." Qiao Yan didn't mind.

Lu Bin skillfully lit a cigarette and took a hard puff. "When I passed by your office and saw that no one else was there, I couldn't help but come in and ask, Qiao Ran has been hiding from me for the past few days, and asked me not to go to the house to look for her, do you know what's going on?"

"My mom came back from the U.S. and was going to stay at home for two months." Qiao Yan told him truthfully.

"Oh, that's right." Lu Bin expressed his disappointment and melancholy suddenly, but bluntly, "Why did Qiao Ran hide this from me, and besides, you can't hide from me for two months because of this." It's a good thing that my aunt is here, and I should pay a visit to show my sincerity. ”

"Qiao Ran is probably worried that after you know it, he will go directly to the house to meet him." Qiao Yan comforted him, "My mother has been in a bad mood for the past two days, don't provoke her first, wait for a while, there will be a chance to meet." ”
