was asked by Tang Hongye about the purpose of his coming to the hospital, Zuo Ankang was embarrassed, and subconsciously pinched the piece of paper in his hand, and seemed to have a faint intention to hide behind him.

"What's wrong? Not feeling well? I don't think your face looks good. Tang Hongye pretended not to see Zuo Ankang's small action, and motioned for him to sit down and chat with him casually.

Zuo Ankang hesitated for a moment, but still sat down next to Tang Hongye, but he didn't answer Tang Hongye's question, but pointed to Tang Hongye's foot and asked, "Are you injured at work?" ”

"No," Tang Hongye smiled a little embarrassedly, "When I was doing the survey, I was standing downstairs, but someone threw bricks upstairs, and I dodged for a while, but I didn't completely dodge." ”

Zuo Ankang was a little surprised: "You are being retaliated against, right?" How can there be such an inch! What about throwing something from the upper floors and throwing a brick? Someone must be deliberately trying to smash you, and if you don't dodge it, something big will definitely happen. Does it have anything to do with Leng Zhiqiang, which you are investigating now? Have you made progress on that matter? ”

"Yes, but it's not fast," Tang Hongye chatted casually, without any defensive attitude towards Zuo Ankang, and shook his head at him, "This Leng Zhiqiang's interpersonal relationship is too chaotic, especially in terms of women, in addition to your wife, his ex-girlfriend, there are many women who have an unusual relationship with him, and we haven't figured it out yet." As a result, there was such an episode suddenly, and time was delayed. ”

"Didn't he still pester my wife before and wanted to get back together with her? Is there another woman out there? After Zuo Ankang listened to Tang Hongye's words, his reaction seemed to be a little big, and the focus of his attention seemed to be a little strange, "Isn't it because he has been loving my wife in his heart for so many years and can't forget her?" ”

"Whether he still loves Wang Ziman for so many years, whether he came specifically to find her, we don't know this, only Leng Zhiqiang has a number in his heart, but the other person is dead, there is no proof of death, and he can't ask," Tang Hongye shrugged helplessly, he saw that Zuo Ankang seemed to be particularly concerned about this matter, so he carefully observed his reaction, and said to him, "But the fact that he has maintained a relationship with more than one or two women around him is a certainty, We can't be mistaken, basically in terms of the relationship between men and women, they belong to the kind of men who are very irresponsible. ”

Zuo Ankang heard this, and quietly clenched his fists with the hand that was placed on his lap, Tang Hongye saw all this in his eyes, but he didn't make a noise, but made a few complaints seemingly casually, and said a little about Leng Zhiqiang, of course, they are all things that anyone can inquire about, and they are not very private things, such as Leng Zhiqiang has not had a particularly serious and stable job for many years, and his source of life cannot be guaranteed, so he is idle all day long. There is even a suspicion of relying on women to help people live.

Zuo Ankang's fists clenched tighter and tighter, his brows gradually wrinkled, his face became extremely gloomy, and after listening to it for a while, he suddenly couldn't help muttering: "This kind of person, it's right to die!" If you don't do good things while you're alive, you'll only add blockages to others and drag others down, so it's better to die, and everyone will have peace of mind. ”

"What did you just say?" Tang Hongye's ears are still quite clever, and he has already heard Zuo Ankang's muttering clearly, and now he has to pretend that he didn't hear what the other party said.

Zuo Ankang came back to his senses, shook his head, and was silent, after a while, he suddenly turned his head and asked Tang Hongye: "Officer Tang, I want to ask you a question, it may be a little inappropriate, if you think I asked this and you feel a little offended, you just don't ask me anything, don't take it to heart." ”

"Okay, you say, I'll listen." Tang Hongye couldn't figure out what Zuo Ankang wanted to ask himself, so he muttered a little, and put on a very relaxed and natural look on his face.

"Are you married?" Zuo Ankang suddenly asked about Tang Hongye's personal situation without a clue.

"Not yet, what's the problem?" Tang Hongye asked rhetorically.

"Do you have a girlfriend? Or even if it's not a girlfriend, the girl you like counts. ”

"To tell you the truth, there is." Tang Hongye smiled and touched his nose a little embarrassed, "I do have someone I like, but I haven't been able to be together properly." ”

"Do you like her? How much do you like it? Is it the kind of person who wants to live with her for the rest of his life, and wishes that he really had the next life, so that he can continue to be with her? Is it the kind of person who feels like you've taken half your life away at the thought of losing her? ”

"Uh...... I haven't thought about it so literary, but it's true that for me now, if I accidentally miss the other party because of my own problems, at least it's difficult for me to witness the fact that she is with other men in a very peaceful mood. Of course, Tang Hongye wouldn't want to tell Zuo Ankang that the girl he liked was his current partner Du Juan, but his feelings were still very real.

Zuo Ankang could also hear that Tang Hongye said this with his heart, and he said it very truthfully, and he didn't say something to fool himself, he seemed to be a little moved, but at the same time, he also had some hesitation, and he struggled for a while before he asked: "Officer Tang, can I ask, are you police officers and lawyers the same as helping clients keep secrets together?" ”

"Well, it's not quite the same," Tang Hongye shook his head, "The lawyer is a requirement of professional ethics, even if there are any more serious crimes on the clients he represents that our police have not discovered, they cannot report or disclose them to the outside world." But we don't have this kind of requirement, after all, the purpose of the work is different, everything we do is only to fight crime, find out the truth of the truth, whether to keep it confidential depends on the needs of the case, and that is within the scope of personal integrity, if there is something involved in the case, the relevant people under investigation to request confidentiality, the conditions can be met, and there is no necessary connection with the profession. ”

Zuo Ankang heard this, the entanglement on his face became more obvious, he moved a few times on the chair, looking a little uneasy, Tang Hongye did not urge him, just quietly cocked his injured foot and waited, in fact, his heart is not as calm as it seems, and secretly hopes that Du Juan will not come back so soon, after all, looking at Zuo Ankang's entangled and embarrassed appearance now, it is clear that there is something unspeakable, I don't know how to speak, and I don't even dare to speak.

It's just that it's still like this in front of himself, if there is one more cuckoo who is of the opposite sex, it may increase Zuo Ankang's mental burden even more when he speaks, making him retreat.

"Officer Tang, you haven't eaten yet, have you? It's a coincidence that I can meet here, and it's fate, otherwise...... Let's find a place to have a drink, shall we? Finally, Zuo Ankang plucked up the courage to speak.

Tang Hongye shook his head at him helplessly: "Oh, this is a pity, I may not be able to drink with you, not to mention that I have a broken toe, and the doctor does not allow me to drink, just say that I am still working hours, and there are 'five prohibitions' in the ministry, which clearly stipulate that you are not allowed to drink alcohol during working hours." ”

"That's okay if you don't drink, it's okay if you don't drink! If you have time and don't worry, let's talk, okay? That is to say, to speak, and nothing else. Zuo Ankang heard that Tang Hongye couldn't drink, so he hurriedly changed his words.

"This ...... Do you have anything related to Leng Zhiqiang's case that you would like to communicate with us? Otherwise, let's wait a little while and wait for my colleague to come back, shall we? You see my legs and feet now, leaving my colleagues to help, my action is also very inconvenient. Tang Hongye saw that Zuo Ankang really wanted to communicate with him, which made him feel at ease, "Is there anything inconvenient for you?" ”

"Also, it's not ......" Zuo Ankang struggled again, "It's not that it has anything to do with Leng Zhiqiang, and it's not that it has nothing to do with him, it's just that there are some things...... I've been holding it alone, and I feel very tired, and I feel a little out of breath after a long time. I happened to be the most uncomfortable day today, and I happened to meet you right here, and I think it might be providential. And you're a police officer, and your personality seems to give me the impression of being quite upright, so I want to be able to trust you and talk to you. ”

"Oh, okay, then if you don't mind my colleague following, then let's go together, if you find it inconvenient, just wait with me for a while, wait for my colleague to send me the crutches I bought, and I'll find a place to talk to you alone." Tang Hongye immediately opened his mouth cheerfully, "You have also seen my colleague, it is the female policeman who went to your house with me before and asked Wang Ziman to understand the situation." I can't walk without her now. ”

Zuo Ankang frowned and hesitated, then nodded: "Then wait for her for a while, let's go together." ”

This is of course the result that Tang Hongye wants the most, after hearing Zuo Ankang's reply, he nodded with satisfaction, and then chatted with Zuo Ankang about the many patients coming to the hospital and other topics, and after about six or seven minutes, the cuckoo came back, holding a pair of crutches bought from outside.

Du Juan walked through several stores, picked the lightest pair for Tang Hongye, and at the same time supported a good cane, hurried back to the hospital, as soon as he walked into the rest hall, he saw Tang Hongye and Zuo Ankang sitting side by side, I don't know what they were talking about, which made her a little surprised, but fortunately in terms of disguising emotions, Du Juan was quite qualified, so the expression on his face looked very calm when he walked over, as if Zuo Ankang was not the more sensitive and embarrassing person in this case. calmly smiled with Zuo Ankang, and when it came to say hello, Zuo Ankang hurriedly and politely got up and shook hands with her.

"Give me the crutches, let's go, Zuo Ankang said he wanted to talk to the two of us." Tang Hongye glanced at his watch, "We happen to have some time, so let's go sit with him." ”

Du Juan was a little surprised in his heart, and he didn't know why Zuo Ankang would take the initiative to ask them to chat in a group, so he nodded quietly, and handed the crutches in his hand to Tang Hongye, Tang Hongye moved back and forth on crutches for a few steps to adapt to such an action, and then the three of them left the hospital.

Zuo Ankang didn't plan to drive, and when he got out of the hospital gate, he directly took Tang Hongye and Du Juan to a small street next to him, probably because it was next to such a large public hospital, and there were various hotels and restaurants on that inconspicuous side by side.

Zuo Ankang came to a restaurant that is not very big, and the waiter was familiar with the way when he entered the door, and the waiter was familiar with the kind of person who greeted him, Tang Hongye was supported by the cuckoo, plus the support of the cane, so it was not particularly difficult to walk, and the two of them followed closely into the door of the hotel.

The three of them were taken to a small private room by the waiter, Du Juan and Tang Hongye had no intention of eating, and he didn't look like he had any appetite for the crime, he muttered a few words to the waiter, saying that he was just asking a friend to come up and chat a few words, and he wouldn't stay too long, so he didn't order food today, and only bought a pot of tea from the store, and the waiter did seem to be familiar enough with him, and he didn't agree to make any trouble.

The three of them sat down, Tang Hongye probably had a little guess in his heart, Du Juan was completely in the dark, and he was a little unclear about the situation, Zuo Ankang seemed to be cheering himself up.

"If you have anything, just say it, the two of us are here to give you a guarantee today, as long as you don't want to, all the topics we are discussing here today, unless they are directly related to Leng Zhiqiang's case, otherwise after we go out, the two of us will definitely keep our mouths shut and will not spread it to you." Tang Hongye combined the previous conversation between the two people and knew what Zuo Ankang's concerns would be, so he opened his mouth to say to him.

His words seemed to give Zuo Ankang a lot of courage, Zuo Ankang took a deep breath, as if he had made a great determination, the expression on his face was a little tragic, he took out the paper that he was holding in his hand from his pocket and didn't let Tang Hongye see it, and pushed it from the table to Tang Hongye and Du Juan: "This...... It's my biggest secret that I've been hiding for a long time, and I haven't told anyone, including my wife. ”
