Chapter 58: Asked
Yan Yunkai carried a bag of small cakes through the dim corridor, knocking on the door one by one to hand out snacks. However, except for Wang Xi, the others were not in the office, and the second floor was empty and unpopular.
"It doesn't matter if Yu Ting and Teacher Bai aren't there, they aren't always there, but why didn't Zhou Yi come?" Yan Yunkai stuffed the bag in his hand to Wang Xi, "Xiao Zhou only told me to take a day off a few days ago, and he didn't come to work these days?" ”
Wang was very happy when he got a few copies from other people, and said, "I don't know, I haven't seen him for a few days, maybe something at home has delayed." ”
Yan Yunkai smiled and stretched out his index finger against the child's forehead: "Eat less, tooth decay." ”
He covered the door for the child, took out his mobile phone, and called Zhou Yi, but he didn't answer there, sent him WeChat, and didn't reply.
Yan Yunkai sensed that something was wrong.
Zhou Yi's kid works very seriously on weekdays, and he will definitely not be absent from work for so long for no reason, could it be that something happened?
"What's wrong?"
A low magnetic voice sounded in front of him, Yan Yunkai raised his head, only to see that the door of his office was slightly open, and the bright lights in the room poured out from that place, Zhao Thief stood by the door, with the light on his back, and the shadow was cast on the ground and the wall, forming a strange silhouette, and his expression seemed very quiet and gentle in the dim light.
Seeing that Yan Yunkai didn't speak, Zhao Thief asked again, "Why are you standing outside stupidly?" What do you do with an unwarranted frown? ”
"I didn't come to work on Wednesday, and I didn't answer the phone." Yan Yunkai pulled the corners of his lips, a flash of melancholy flashed in his eyes, and there was no smile, "I have a feeling that I don't feel good, I don't know why I ......"
He raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows: "Hey, I'll go to Zhou's house later." What about you? Going out? ”
Zhao Thief turned sideways to let him into the house, stroked his eyebrows with his thumb and fingertips, and saw the eyebrows, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were faintly dyed with a smile, Zhao Thief Machine let go of his hand and said: "Tang Heng is going to hand over the prevention and control map, Liu Zhenyan asked me to follow secretly." ”
Yan Yunkai raised his hand to sort out his tie for him: "Then you go, pay attention to safety." ”
Zhao Thief nodded disappreciatively, his eyes were calm, and he didn't even bother to do anything with a look of contempt and disdain, obviously not thinking that those Terran warlocks could do anything to him.
After Zhao stole the machine and left, Yan Yunkai took out the car keys from the drawer, locked the office, and decided to go to Zhou Yi's house to have a look.
At this time, it was still in the afternoon, it was not safe enough to visit empty-handed, Yan Yunkai also bought a fruit basket on the road, drove into the villa area, the security guard saw the unfamiliar license plate, originally wanted to stop him, Yan Yunkai found a vehicle access card for the residential area from a large number of documents in the car drawer, and was released.
The closer he got to Zhou Yi's building, the stranger feeling in Yan Yun's happiness became more and more serious, and the black and white Tai Chi appeared in his heart, glowing faintly fluorescent, which was particularly conspicuous on the black blazer.
Yan Yun stopped the car, and the palm of his hand brushed the Tai Chi relief, hiding the pattern that began to rotate.
He carried the fruit basket, rang the doorbell, the servant came to open the door, remembered him, took the fruit basket, and greeted: "Section Chief Yan? Hello. Are you here to find the little master? The little master is sick and still resting in the room, let me take you up? ”
"Why did you get sick all of a sudden?" Yan Yunkai smiled politely, "I'm sorry for you to lead the way." ”
The servant said: "Hey, I had a fever a few days ago, and the little master said that he had taken a few days off and didn't want to come out of the room. ”
Yan Yunkai frowned, the maid was used to observing the words, and hurriedly said, "What?" But the little master delayed his work? ”
"No, it's fine. Recuperation is key. Yan Yunkai smiled.
Zhou Yi didn't call in sick at all...... How did you lie to your family and say that you were invited?
The servant took him to a bedroom on the third floor, knocked on the door, and asked "what's the matter" in a sullen voice, and the servant said, "It's Section Chief Yan who is here."
Yan Yunkai lowered his eyes and listened carefully to the movement in the room, and after a while, he heard the faint sound of footsteps, and then the door opened, Zhou Yi's face was pale, his eyes were a little blue, and his spirit did not look very good.
Zhou Yi reluctantly smiled and greeted: "Brother Yan, why are you here?" ”
"Go in and say." Yan Yunkai looked at him directly, his eyes were very firm, and he brought out a strong force that could not be refused.
Zhou Yi paused, always feeling that he was seen through by such a pair of eyes. He let out a long sigh, smiled bitterly, and said to the servant, "You go and get busy first." ”
After the servant left, he let Yan Yunkai into the house and smiled bitterly: "Brother Yan, why did you come suddenly?" ”
"Didn't you call me?" Yan Yunkai quietly observed the bedroom, sat on a chair, looked at Zhou Yi with a smile, a pair of phoenix eyes were clear and sharp, "Absenteeism and no leave, no phone calls, no reply to messages, isn't this urging me to come to you?" What the hell is going on? ”
Zhou Yi sat on the edge of the bed, lowered his head, bit his lower lip, twisted his eyebrows tightly, his eyes were very struggling, and he closed his eyes for a long time and extremely tired.
"I don't know whether to say it or not."
The room was filled with silence, and there was a faint sense of tension and oppression, and after a moment, Yan Yunkai slowly asked, "Is this matter related to what we have been investigating during this time?" ”
Zhou Yi's eyelashes twitched, and he didn't nod or shake his head.
Yan Yunkai looked at his painful appearance, did not back down, and continued to ask: "Is this matter related to you, or rather, to your family?" ”
Zhou Yi opened his eyes to look at him, his eyes blinked, and a tear rolled down.
"Brother Yan...... Brother Yan...... I don't know ......."
Yan Yunkai didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to pull out a piece of paper, wipe away his tears for him, pat his back comfortingly, and put it on his shoulder.
Zhou Yi cried very suppressed, as if he was afraid of being heard by someone, sobbing and intermittently: "I don't know...... Brother Yan...... Don't ask me, I don't know...... I don't want to say ......"
Why? Zhou Yi has been thinking about it for the past few days, if only he hadn't gone to deliver medicine to his grandfather that night, if only he hadn't looked back when he left that day.
Why? Why is it your grandfather?
is obviously the first leader of the unit, and he has taught him to love and help the common people since he was a child, why did he abandon his beliefs so easily and become a demon......
Now, Yan Yunkai still has something unexpected, and he can't help but feel sorry for himself, tilting his head and looking at the lush trees in amazement.
Zhou Yi regrets and hates, how can loyalty and filial piety be difficult to achieve! He was depressed in his heart, extremely sad, while secretly scolding himself for being a man who eats inside and out, and is a grandson in vain, and on the other hand, he hates what his grandfather has done, and he can't imagine how many lives the old man has lost over the years!
Downstairs, in the garden, the maid brought a fruit bowl.
The old man who was basking in the sun did not open his eyes, and asked tiredly, "Is there a guest at home?" ”
"It's Mr. Yan, I'm here to visit the little master."
"Oh, it's Yunkai here......" Zhou Chengzheng opened his eyes, "A few days ago, Minister Zheng sent a cake of new tea, you take it out and ask him to taste it." ”
The maid left in response, and Zhou Chengzheng calmly looked at a blooming flower in the flower garden in front of him, and stretched out his hand without slowness and pinched off the flower.
The showy flowers fell into the dirt and stained the soil.
The cell phone on the stone table rang.
At the same time, the third floor of the unit building.
This is the office of a technician of an espionage team under the Ministry of State Security.
Liu Zhenyan stared at the surveillance screen on the monitor, and next to him sat a young man wearing T-shirt and shorts flip-flops, the young man had a pair of black-framed glasses on the bridge of his tall nose, his hands were on the keyboard, and he was tapping rapidly, and his skin was compared to the black keyboard, which looked like a kind of pale that had not seen the light of day all year round.
The picture on a display screen was magnified, clearly reflecting the faces of Tang Heng and a man holding a mobile phone and making a call.
The young man was staring intently at the monitor in front of him, and his hand tapping on the keyboard was so fast that it was about to come out, and he took the time to say to Liu Zhenyan: "Liu, when will this man's mobile phone monitor be withdrawn?" I'll have work in two days, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you. ”
Liu Zhenyan has been asking him for help to spy on the phones of several suspicious people for some time, but those people easily do not communicate important information on the phone, so they have nothing to gain.
"I guess it's going to end." Liu Zhenyan said.
The man in the picture broadcast a number, and after a while, he was finally connected. A voice processed by a voice changer came out: "What's the matter?" ”
The voice sounded awkward, but it was old.
Liu Zhenyan leaned forward slightly and said, "Can you locate the caller?" ”
The young man yawned and said lightly, "Oh, I'll try." ”
In the picture, the man said: "Senior, I got the prevention and control map in Halloween City, and the ghost three asked you, when can he be reincarnated?" ”
"Idiot! This kind of thing is also worth looking for me? ”
The man said respectfully, "I'm sorry. ”
"It's coming. Let him wait a little longer. ”
"Yes. I've recalled all my brothers, do you need to arrange it in person? ”
"Did Xia Yao come back from Xiamen?"
"I'm back."
"Did Fang Rui agree?"
"Not really. Fang Rui rejected us again. ”
"......," said the strange voice after a long silence, "Got it." I'll get back to you. ”
The young man pressed enter, leaned back in his chair, and said, "It's located, but it's not exact, it's only a small area." ”
Liu Zhenyan only glanced at the data on the screen, and a map of Beijing immediately appeared in his mind, and he quickly located a residential area.
The light in Liu Zhenyan's eyes froze, and he stood up and picked up his coat.
"Thank you. Excuse me to continue. As he spoke, he hurried out, gathered his subordinates who were now in Beijing, posted an address in the work group, and sent two words: surrounding.
On that side, Tang Heng said goodbye to the man, and on the way back to the unit, he touched it with his backhand and found himself in a cold sweat behind his back.
Zhao Theft Machine followed not far behind him, took out his mobile phone and took a look, and found that in a WeChat group, Liu Zhenyan sent a message.
Zhao Jiaoji hurriedly glanced over, glanced at the address, and the next moment, directly turned in a direction and stopped a car at the intersection.
He had a cold face, thinking that Yan Yunkai might still be in that place at this time, and his body was even more imposing, so that the taxi driver didn't dare to open his mouth and drive quietly.
Zhao made a phone call to Yan Yunkai, the bell rang several times, and Yan Yunkai picked it up.
"Are you still in the Zhou Mansion?"
"Hmm." Yan Yunkai replied in a low voice.
Zhao Piaoji said: "Liu Zhenyan sent someone over. ”
Yan Yunkai was depressed: "I know." ”
Zhao didn't know what to say, so he simply instructed: "Be careful." ”
Yan Yunkai sighed, hung up the phone, and turned his head to look around. Zhou Yi sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, and when he saw Yan Yunkai looking over, his eyes dodged, and he didn't look directly at him.
"He won't blame you." Yan Yunkai said, "You...... You shy away from it. ”
Zhou Yi opened his mouth and said with difficulty: "He still ......"
He originally wanted to intercede, but after only saying these two words, he could no longer say it.
Not long ago, he personally led a team to K City to capture Shang Yang, and saw the corpse buried under the mudslide.
Those who should have been young and fresh lives, when they died, they also showed a posture of escape, which was unbearable to witness.
The village, surrounded by green mountains and green waters, became dilapidated and lifeless under the torrential rain.
Zhou Yi couldn't say a word anymore.
He bowed to his feet, covered his face, and was silent.
Yan Yunkai still had a cup of tea that had been cooled in his hand, the tea was fine, and the servant said that Minister Zheng had sent it to his home......
Yan Yunkai went downstairs and walked into the garden.
In front of the flower garden, the old man wore a Tang costume and played against himself.
"Senpai." Yan Yunkai said gently, "How are you doing lately?" ”
Zhou Chengzheng showed a kind smile: "Okay." ”
Yan Yunkai said: "Everyone is very concerned about you and invites you to go back to the unit to talk." ”
"You visited Chu Jun and Fang Rui, and now, is it finally my turn?" Zhou Chengzheng laughed and slowly dropped a sunspot, "It's two days slower than I thought." If it weren't for Xiao Yi, I'm afraid it would have been a little late. ”
"You know that." Yan Yun laughed.
Zhou Chengzheng said: "Xiao Yi, this child, well-behaved, clean, I have taught such a good grandson in my life, don't misunderstand him." ”
Yan Yunkai lowered his eyes and said obediently: "Which of us juniors has not been taught by you?" You have said that to help the people, to seek goodness is to ask. I have a lot of feelings and a lot of gains, and the younger generations have always remembered them. ”
Zhou Chengzheng smiled.
Yan Yunkai raised his eyes, his eyes were sharp, and he said word by word: "Have you already abandoned your 'Dao'?" ”
"It's the 'Dao' who abandoned me......" Zhou Chengzheng said slowly, as soon as the words fell, he slapped the table, and the chess pieces on the chessboard soared into the air, flying towards Yan Yunkai like sharp arrows, "I have spent my whole life and been incompetent all my life, looking at myself old and weak day by day, watching my lover, friends, and comrades-in-arms leave me one by one, but I can't do anything, looking at the youth of those demon clans for ten years, how can I be willing!" ”
"Heaven is unfair!" Zhou Chengzheng said, stood up, and a black crack broke out of thin air behind him.
Yan Yunkai did a backflip, drawing a circle in front of him with both hands, and the black and white Taiji diagram appeared, turning into a shield and blocking these chess pieces.
Around, several figures rushed from all directions, gathering towards the garden, but Zhou Chengzheng smiled, black magic patterns appeared on his neck, and he raised his eyes to look at the juniors running around.
Without hesitation, he turned around and stepped into the crack, and a second later, the crack was gone.
Yan Yunkai stabilized his figure, put away Tai Chi, he stood in the flower garden, looking at the black and white chess pieces all over the ground, and felt a little sad.
