Jian Yao saw "his" corpse. γγ οΌοΌ
This is in a mortuary under the Ministry of Public Security. The walls are gray, the air is cold, and it is silent and lifeless.
Although she had been mentally prepared, the moment she saw the corpse, Jian Yao still felt disgusted.
He had been burned to blackened and twisted limbs, unrecognizable. The only thing that can be seen is that he is very tall, and he is neither fat nor thin, which is consistent with the physical characteristics of the person in Yin Ziqi's confession that day.
It is said that in the process of escaping by road, he accidentally broke out of the guardrail, fell off the cliff, and exploded, so that he became what he is now.
"Is that him?" Jian Yao asked Bo Jin Yan beside him.
Today is a hot day, Bo Jinyan did not wear a shirt and trousers like usual summer, but a straight suit, neat tie, and even his leather shoes were polished. Jian Yao understands his state of mind: this profoundly expresses the importance he attaches to meeting "him" for the first time, even though the other party is already a charred corpse.
Bo Jinyan didn't answer Jian Yao's question, but stared down at the corpse for a few seconds, and then ...... Thin lips lightly opened: "Hi."
His voice was low and soft, and a very shallow smile appeared in his dark eyes.
Jian Yao was accustomed to it, but the mortuary staff on the side became strange: "Do you know the deceased?" β
Bo Jinyan had already turned around and strode away.
ββ
In a conference room of the Ministry of Public Security.
The lights are blazing and the black table is heavy. The bigwigs sat around the round table, and the atmosphere was particularly solemn.
Bo Jinyan was also one of them, sitting among the Chinese delegates. At this moment, he looks completely different from the man who smiled and called her "queen" yesterday. His expression was very indifferent and focused, and his eyes were sharp and compelling, like a real twenty-six-year-old rebellious young expert - Jian Yao knew that this was the state of his serious work.
As his assistant, she sat in the back row with a few staff members, listening quietly.
At the other end of the round table, several representatives of the Chinese FBI first showed the DNA test results of the corpse: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have completed the paired test with the DNA bank to confirm the identity of the deceased. β
They opened the slideshow, and on the white screen in front of them, a picture of a fair-skinned and delicate Asian man, he was wearing a suit, tall and young.
"Jiang Hao, 27 years old, Chinese-American, IT engineer." The FBI representative suddenly looked at Bo Jinyan, and his tone was quite meaningful, "Simon knows him." β
As soon as these words came out, everyone on the Chinese side was surprised, and Jian Yao was also surprised.
Bo Jinyan's eyes were as calm as water, but a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "It's an honor - he is one of the survivors I rescued from the flower ogre." β
ββ
What are the facts?
Jiang Hao, that is, the body found in the suspect's car, is in line with the FBI's criminal psychology portrait in every way.
First of all, the body shape is similar. Judging from the results of the examination of the fabric residues attached to the corpse, he was also wearing a suit when he died, which is consistent with what Yin Ziqi saw that day;
has a high IQ, a wealthy family, and returned to China in a low-key manner half a year ago, and has the ability to have time to follow and peep at Bo Jinyan and carry out his previous provocative behavior;
And what about his motives? The FBI gives two explanations:
1. As a former victim, he was plagued by post-traumatic stress disorder, and it is likely that his mind could not return to normal, and he imagined that he had become the abuser of the day, so he had this series of strange behaviors;
Second, this speculation is even bolder: maybe Jiang Hao was an accomplice of the ogre from the beginning. It's just that after Bo Jinyan and the FBI cracked the case that year, he disguised himself as a victim and was able to escape legal punishment. And now, he has come to find Bo Jinyan for revenge.
ββ
At the end of the meeting, Jian Yao got up and walked to Bo Jinyan's side. He was still standing at the table, looking down at Jiang Hao's information.
At this time, the Chinese representatives had already left the venue, but the FBIs on the opposite side came over and shook hands with Bo Jinyan with a smile:
"Simon, good job."
What they are talking about is that this time Bo Jinyan set a trap instead, causing the other party to enter the heavy encirclement of the police, and finally it was difficult to escape from Ascension.
Jian Yao was also a little happy and looked at Bo Jinyan. But he just had a faint smile on his face, and he didn't look excited at all.
ββ
Driving away from the Ministry of Public Security, it was already afternoon.
Bo Jinyan always kept a cold face and drove quietly. Jian Yao looked at him for a few seconds and spoke: "Is this case finished now?" She had just heard a few FBIs discussing a ticket back home.
Bo Jinyan: "The official result seems to be so. β
This was a bit subtle, and Jian Yao asked, "Do you doubt that Jiang Hao is not that person?" β
His tone was dry: "I don't know." β
Jian Yao was silent. Indeed, although the superficial evidence seems to be Jiang Hao, it also makes her heart hang for many days, and it is a lot easier. But he died too suddenly, which always makes people feel unsteady.
"What then?" She asked. Now that the person is dead, there is no way to verify it.
Bo Jinyan showed his signature arrogant smile again: "Just take a few cases." β
"What do you mean......"
"If he hadn't died, he would have come back. His boring game has just begun, how can he be willing to leave? β
ββ
It was night, and the moon was clear.
Jian Yao sat in Bo Jinyan's study, reading.
Since she was determined to follow him, she wanted to seize all the time to supplement her professional knowledge.
However, now this "heel" is, of course, only at work. And as for him as a person......
In between reading, Jian Yao couldn't help but look up and glance at him sitting on the other side of the bookcase, simple shirt and trousers, handsome, quiet, and focused.
How could she see his heart?
"What do you see me doing?" He didn't lift his head, and his voice sounded suddenly.
Jian Yao's cheeks were hot, but she replied with ease: "Just observe it." β
Bo Jinyan didn't pay attention to the issue anymore. He put down the book in his hand and looked at her thoughtfully: "You can move it down tonight." In the future, I will live in the study. β
Jian Yao: "...... I'm not moving. β
Bo Jin Yan's eyes narrowed slightly: "My assistant, shouldn't he be by my side 24 hours a day?" β
For his ignorant and self-righteous request, Jian Yao has become accustomed to it, and will no longer have any thoughts similar to "deer bumping into each other". She smiled lightly: "I like to have my own space. If you need it, tell me to come downstairs. β
Bo Jinyan didn't speak again, but of course his face was a little stinky. He stood up, took off his tie, loosened his collar, and looked like he was going to take a shower.
As soon as he took two steps, Jian Yao struggled and hesitated for a moment, and then continued to speak: "And...... In the future, let's assume that if I have a boyfriend, if the relationship is very good, I also want to live with him, and it is impossible to follow you 24 hours a day. β
As soon as the words came out, her face immediately burned hot.
However, this statement actually had an effect. Because Bo Jinyan stopped, he was obviously stunned, and looked at her sideways.
Staring at each other, his dark eyes slowly became sharp and arrogant, making Jian Yao's heartbeat a little unstable.
"Hum ......" in a deep voice, almost inaudible.
He turned away with a blank face.
This is...... What's the reaction?
Hearing the sound of the door of the master bedroom closing, Jian Yao couldn't help but smile.
It doesn't matter what his reaction is. He asked her to find a boyfriend that day, so let him know what a boyfriend is now!
ββ
After reading the book for a while, Jian Yao remembered the events of the day, her mind moved, she stood up, and looked up at the bookshelf with the files against the wall on one side.
The most eye-catching and largest file box is the "California Flower Ogre".
She set up a stool, stood up, and looked through the contents of the file box.
The first is the overall profile of the case. Jian Yao hurriedly read it, and probably understood why the flower ogre Tommy would become the most difficult to capture in the history of the FBI in recent years. Because he chooses his victims with no regularity: different ages, skin colors, genders, and occupations will become his meal. And his financial resources are still very good. Although he comes from a low-income broken family, he has a very high IQ and relies on financial investment to become a wealthy person. It is certainly easier for such a person to cover up his crimes than for ordinary people.
Then there are separate folders for each victim, thick stacks. Jian Yao flipped through a few of them, and she couldn't stand it anymore - those pictures were too cruel. Inadvertently flipping through the folder of the last victim and catching a glimpse of the name, her hand immediately stopped.
Simon, Bo Jinyan.
ββ
Bo Jinyan came out of the shower, changed into a clean shirt, and his hair was still a little wet, but he didn't care.
Thinking of Jian Yao's words about "boyfriend" just now, he was still a little dissatisfied in his heart. It is true that everyone will find their own partner, but in that woman's heart, he is obviously not as important as some mediocre man who will appear out of nowhere in the future.
Amusing.
He walked to the living room, but saw that Jian Yao had also come out of the study, and he was sitting on the sofa, holding a dossier of flowers and ogres with his name on it.
Hearing footsteps, she looked up at him, her eyes seemingly containing some mixed emotions.
Bo Jinyan glanced at her, walked over, sat down on the sofa next to her, turned on the TV, and watched "Documentary on the Rule of Law" by himself.
Just a moment later, he suddenly felt someone tugging at his sleeve. As soon as he turned his head, he met Jian Yao's clear and soft eyes, like two dark deep springs.
"Let me see the wounds on your body." She whispered.
Bo Jinyan glanced at her strangely.
"No woman has ever looked at my body." He replied firmly, turned his head and continued to read "Documentary of the Rule of Law".
"I want to see it." Jian Yao simply grabbed his arm and said in a firm tone, "I'm your assistant, this is related to the case, of course I can watch it." β
Bo Jinyan looked at her lightly again, was silent for a moment, reached out and began to unbutton his shirt, but his eyes returned to the TV.
He looked calm, but Jian Yao's heart slowly lifted.
The buttons were all unbuttoned, the shirt was open, and the man's broad chest, lean waist and abdomen were presented in front of her.
His skin was fair, but his muscles looked well-toned and not weak at all.
He even has abs......
The last time Jian Yao saw was the scar on her back, and this time it was the front first.
There are not many wounds, but they are more hideous and dangerous.
Below the left chest, near the mouth of the heart, is a dark red scar; In the middle of the abdomen, there was also a long, light-colored wound.
Jian Yao's mind flashed the bloody photos belonging to Bo Jinyan in the dossier, and her eyes were sour.
And that passage about him: "...... Simon disappeared for half a year. At the time of rescue, he was severely injured, lost a lot of blood, had developed multiple organ failures in his body, and lost consciousness at the same time. After four days and four nights of rescue in the intensive care unit, he was finally out of danger...... However, it was during his captivity that he secretly provided information to the FBI that he was able to catch the notorious flower ogre. At the same time, he also saved the lives of twelve innocent citizens trapped in the cellar with him......"
He was once broken in arms, in exchange for twelve lives.
But these things ......
Jian Yao raised his head and looked at his still cold and indifferent side face, with a faint and impatient look - he never mentioned these things, but continued to be arrogant and naΓ―ve......
Thinking of this, Jian Yao's eyes became even heavier.
"Have you seen enough?" Bo Jinyan's cold voice came from above his head.
Jian Yao ignored him, she reached out and gently touched the scar on his abdomen. There was a cold, undulating touch on her fingers, and she thought: I wonder how deep he was cut open at that time?
Suddenly, the fingers were firmly grasped. It's Bo Jinyan.
Jian Yao's gaze first fell on his slender and powerful fingers, and then moved to his face. His handsome face seemed to be flushed with a hint of red, and his eyes were faint: "It's very itchy, don't touch it." β
Jian Yao didn't think she would cry.
As soon as he said this, she laughed. But his heart was also fiercely soft, and a tear fell by himself.
Bo Jinyan obviously didn't expect it, his expression was slightly stunned, and he stared straight at her without speaking.
Jian Yao was a little embarrassed, turned her head, took out a tissue from the coffee table, wiped away the tears, and didn't make a sound.
He stared at her and said, "If I knew it would make you cry, I wouldn't show you." Reaching out and starting to button his shirt one by one.
Jian Yao had already easily endured those tears, where did she think that he would suddenly come out with such a ...... With a gentle word, his eyes instantly became hot again, and a big tear slipped down again.
She didn't look at him, pulled a few tissues over, and wiped them with her head down. But even so, I could feel him beside me, and two burning eyes stopped on her face.
"Don't look at me, watch your TV." She chuckled.
"Hmm." He whispered in his throat in response, then really turned his head and continued to concentrate on watching TV.
Jian Yao sat beside him sullenly, her eyes were still wet, and she sniffed again. Call...... OK......
His shoulders sank suddenly, and it was his hand that came up and gently hugged her.
Jian Yao's whole body suddenly froze.
"Don't cry." Extremely faint sound.
ββ¦β¦ Well. β
Outside the window, the night was still clear, and the picture and sound of the TV continued. Bo Jinyan's hand just rested on her shoulder and didn't move away. The two of them sat next to each other, and she could almost smell the faint smell of soap on his body after bathing, and the slight hot smell of the man's body...... His hand just gently grasped her shoulder, but to her, it seemed to be a thousand pounds, and every cell on the surface of her body seemed to feel his weight, the temperature of his palm.
I don't know how long it took, maybe half an hour, maybe only ten minutes, but the mobile phone in Bo Jinyan's pocket rang.
The hand on her shoulder naturally loosened. Jian Yao's whole body suddenly relaxed, but she seemed to be a little ...... Reluctant.
He didn't pay attention to her emotions at all, picked up the phone, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Ziyu." β
The two talked about Jiang Hao on the phone today. Jian Yao sat for a while, the more she sat down, the redder her face became, she simply stood up and took the things: "I'm leaving." β
Bo Jinyan raised his eyes to look at her: "Good night." β
"Good night."
Fu Ziyu on the other end suddenly smiled: "It's so late...... Jian Yao is still with you? β
"Well, she was crying just now, and I'm coaxing her." Bo Jinyan replied naturally.
Jian Yao, who was opening the door, was extremely embarrassed: "Don't tell him!" β
ββ
After Jian Yao went home, she took a shower first, changed into pajamas, and lay comfortably on the bed.
The night was already dark, and there was silence outside the window. She closed her eyes and lay down for a moment, then sat up again and took something out of her bag.
It was a photograph she copied tonight from the Flower Ogre-Bo Jin Yan dossier.
Perhaps, it was taken in the cellar where he was imprisoned. The ground was dark, dirty, and rugged. And he lay quietly on the ground. I couldn't see what clothes he was wearing, because his whole body was soaked with dark red blood, and there was a pool of blood under him, and he could only faintly see the flesh and blood on his back. Only his face was fair, his eyes were closed, and his handsome face seemed to be asleep, as if he had died.
Jian Yao lay on the bed, held the photo, looked at it quietly for a while, and then brought it to her lips and gently kissed him on the cheek.
ββ
Soon after Jian Yao left, Bo Jinyan went back to his room to sleep.
With a soft light in the bedroom, he closed the curtains and stood in front of the mirror to take off his shirt.
The body was naked again~ exposed to the air, he looked at the mottled scars reflected in the mirror, and suddenly remembered Jian Yao's touch just now.
He also reached out and touched the wound on his abdomen.
I don't itch, I don't feel it.
Why did Jian Yao touch him so itchy?
His mind suddenly conjured up her slender, white fingers, like soft and crystalline jade. And when her fingers touched his skin, it felt like a white feather, gently gliding through it, itching and numb.
Woman's finger ......
A hot sensation suddenly popped out of the wound on his abdomen.
Bo Jinyan stood silently in front of the mirror for a while, and finally decided to go into the bathroom, take another shower with cold water, and then fall asleep on the bed.
