Pale clouds seem to be painted all over the sky with a gray brush. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Occasionally, there will be a rain that seems to come out of nowhere.

This kind of rain is difficult to see with the naked eye, and it is very comfortable to walk in it.

It's a pity that it's a morning, and Zhong Xian is not in the mood to walk in the rain.

In this coastal area near the mouth of the Pearl River, there are no high-rise buildings connected to the city center, and the sky is connected with the gray sea water in the distance, which looks particularly open and low, and the air is slightly cool, and the inhalation of the lungs will make people feel a sense of comfort.

He hadn't seen Deng Yi for two days. He even wondered if they would never cross paths again. He sensed keenly that Deng Yi seemed to be deliberately distancing.

But now, on this cool morning, at this very moment, in the place where they should not have met, they intersected again like two threads.

From the first acquaintance, they are pushed to meet and understand again and again for various reasons, and the time is becoming more and more intensive. It's like there's a higher force that knocks two puppets together repeatedly.

However, at this time, the encounter at the construction site that is about to be completed can no longer be attributed to fate.

When Deng Yi approached, his steps were not brisk, and the whole person looked a little awkward.

"Why are you here?" Deng Yi took the initiative to ask Zhong Xian through the window of the Grand Cherokee. The expression was calm, and the eyes revealed just the right amount of surprise.

That's what I want to ask you, Zhong Xian said in his heart.

"SIR, THAT'S WHAT I DO. I'm supplying at this site. What about you? Why are you here so early? Is it my companion?" Zhong Xian smiled and looked Deng Yi up and down through the car window.

"I'm going to look into the situation. The janitor borrowed me this hard hat and jacket. No hard hats are allowed to enter the construction site. ”

Deng Yi explained in detail. As he spoke, he took off his light gray jacket, which was the same color as the sky, and carried it in the same hand as his white hard hat. Wearing only a white T-shirt, he seems to have regained the familiar feeling of the bell strings.

But he forgot to take off his rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose.

And his expression seemed reserved and reserved.

There is also hesitation and distance between the eyebrows.

The gaze is not as crisp as before, and it does not even make long-term contact with Zhong Xian's eyes.

What the hell are you going to investigate? Zhong Xian wanted to ask. But held back. Just looked at Deng Yi with a smile.

"I'll go first." Deng Yi said that he tried to return the hard hat to the guard room. "You're busy."

"I'll give you a ride." Zhong Xian said. "I'm leaving, too."

"No need. Me and ...... I can walk with them. Deng Yi pointed to a few cars not far away.

"I'll give it to you. I don't have anything to do anyway. Zhong Xian said enthusiastically, insisting on it a few times. I'll deliver you on time, faster and better wherever you're going. ”

"Aren't you here to run errands?"

"That's it."

Deng Yi hesitated, walked back to the gate of the construction site, and handed the helmet and jacket to a person standing there. He returned and got into the car of the bell.

"Are you short-sighted?" Zhong Xian stared at Deng Yi.

Deng Yi took off her glasses and inserted them on the neckline of her T-shirt. "These are radiation-resistant lenses. It will change color in the sun. ”

"Looks like Sven scum. What kind of radiation is protected against on a rainy day?"

"When I went out, I thought it was going to be a sunny day." Deng Yi replied seriously.

Zhong Xian started the car: "Where am I sending you?" Back in the game? Which game are you from?"

"Just drop me off at LH. You're going back to the center of LH too. ”

"You're in the LH bureau, aren't you?" Zhong Xian asked again.

"LG Bureau."

"Isn't it the LH Bureau? I always thought you were. ”

"Did I say that?"

"Nope. You haven't said it, and you haven't shown me a police officer/card or anything, don't I have to show my ID when I watch a movie and then ask questions to the masses? We are all here with your cooperation and action, and we are all kind and simple good citizens. ”

"Do you want to see it?" Deng Yi said solemnly, and at the same time put his right hand near the car door into his trouser pocket and took out a black ID, on which was a striking silver bronzed police logo.

Zhong Xian smiled: "Dude, why can't you even joke." What's wrong?"

Hearing Zhong Xian say this, Deng Yi paused and stuffed the document back into his pocket. "Nothing. Probably didn't sleep well. ”

"LG Branch, what a coincidence, I have people I know."

"Hmm...... What did you supply to this site?"

"Uh, calcium silicate plates and ......" bell strings omitted keel. and lightweight partition walls. What about you? Are you here to steal business with me? Get! Dude, is your face stiff, why don't you keep smiling?"

"I'm here to investigate." Deng Yi said.

"Which one?"

"It's still Xiao Zhu."

"Isn't it already undone? It's not that Xiao Zhu contacted his parents, how did he contact him?" Zhong Xian asked in a row.

Deng Yi glanced at Zhong Xian: "He wrote a letter to his parents, and the letter was on the road for several months. The letter said that he was working in Macau, and it was inconvenient to talk to his family on the phone, so he would rewrite the letter in the future. Please rest assured, parents or something. ”

"It turned out that I went to Macau." Zhong Xian was amazed. "Has anyone written any more in these years? Does the post office also have the function of sending letters? Doesn't it mean that you can't even mail a postcard or something? His parents were lucky to have received the letter for several months. ”

"It looks like the post office is the problem." Deng Yi said.

"So Xiao Zhu's disappearance case ended so nonsensically? So what did you check on this construction site early this morning?"

Deng Yi glanced back at the direction of the construction site, and from a distance, the signs on the new building were very obvious. "Make a closing summary."

"Do a closing summary at this construction site?"

"Xiao Zhu's last call came from here, and it was to you." Deng Yi said that when he saw Zhong Xian's shocked gaze, he explained, "He once sent a WeChat message to his girlfriend after the call." ”

Zhong Xian frowned and thought for a while. Then he said, "You don't want to close the case." You think there are still many doubts. Really responsible and good cops. Ahem, can you ask the police in Macau to cooperate in finding Xiao Zhu?"

"Such a trifle. An adult goes missing, and there is no real damage. Deng Yi said. It means that there is no way around it.

"But you don't want to end it. You said it was a boring case. Now you should be happy. Why waste time, do you want to be a hero in the movie and ignore the superiors or other resistance for the slightest doubt. If you really think so, you have serious psychological problems. You will not fit to live in reality. ”

"I didn't say I was going to do it."

"You're so frustrated."

"I'm frustrated?"

"You can tell you're unhappy from afar."

"It's not because the case is unhappy. If it's for the sake of the case, there are cases every day, and you can never be happy. ”

"What's the reason for that?"

Deng Yi stopped talking. Staring at the car window.

Zhong Xian felt infected by the bad emotions of the person around him. The melancholy felt like clouds in the sky enveloping the entire carriage. Zhong Xian suddenly remembered his dream.

"Do you know how to play the guitar?" Zhong Xian asked.

"Yes."

"How's it going?"

"Entertain yourself."

There was silence for a few more moments. Zhong Xian said. "It's best if it's all over like that. As a friend, I advise you to put this case down. ”

Deng Yi got out of the car as soon as he entered the LH area, and at the place where Hongli Road just passed Huaqiang North, he asked Zhong Xian to turn the car into the side road and stop.

He politely thanked Zhong Xian and was about to get out of the car, when Zhong Xian's mind jumped out of the word 'not close'. The guy is going to stay away again. Zhong Xian suddenly grabbed his arm.

Deng Yi looked back at him suspiciously.

"You promised me." Zhong Xian's eyes smiled.

"What?"

"If you have any doubts about me, you will directly say it and give me a chance to explain."

Deng Yi lowered his eyelids. "I don't have any doubts. You don't need to explain either. It's all gone. ”

"But ......"

"You're sensitive."

The intimacy that had been quickly built up between them was as if it had never existed at all.

Deng Yi is staying away.

Or maybe that's what he is. It's just for his purpose to cooperate with the bell string to make an intimate move. Bring out your most attractive side. Not anymore, he closed his door.

He's such a person

I, why not......

When the bell strings are out of their minds,

Dake called.

"The man was looking for me again, I thought it was the number of the construction site, but I didn't answer it." Dake said in a panic.

"Who?"

"The procurement on the construction site. The glass curtain wall. ”

"Why don't you take it?"

"What do you say? Didn't you say cold treatment for a few days?"

"Call back and listen to what he has to say. If he still pushes you to solve it, say that you are actively dealing with it. But the leadership is all in the field, not so quickly. You will first arrange for the manufacturer's technician to go to the construction site to inspect, if it is indeed related to our support system. will be held accountable. These words will be said. Hold back time. Ask if there are any police officers going to the construction site?"

"Why are the police going?" Dake tensed.

"Didn't you mean it hurt someone? How much did you hurt?"

"At this stage, it must be the workers who are hurting. As long as it didn't die, the construction party should have pressed it down a long time ago. It's nothing more than taking the opportunity to ask us for money. ”

"You talk to them and control your dialect habits, don't be so anxious, be timid."

"I understand this, I don't have to pretend to talk to you. But what if? Bell, in case it is only our responsibility to be sure. ”

"Nothing like that. There will be no case. The few contracts signed with them at the beginning were all stamped with the official seal of Li's head office. It was me who signed it, and I left again. ”

"Uh, yes." Dake was relieved, "You've already calculated it." If something really happens, we can't find our heads, and we can also teach Mr. Li a lesson by the way. I admire you, but ...... What did you say to the manufacturer about this batch of keels...... Is there really a big problem with the quality?"

Zhong Xian thought for a moment. "So be it...... I'll contact the construction site, you don't care. ”

"Ah...... Of course it's good. But I said you're traveling abroad. ”

"I have a way. You go and do another thing. Didn't you say you had a neighbor in the LG Bureau Criminal Investigation Team? Go ask him about Deng Yi on the side. ”

"What? Inquire about him? Why?"

"I can't say a word or two. Just ask from the side, don't be too abrupt. ”

"Alas! I didn't want to deal with the police, and I was just nodding to the neighbor. Alas, I'll figure it out. He seems to be a basketball enthusiast. Give me two days. ”

The worker's injuries were not serious.

Despite the infinite exaggeration of procurement, in the ten-minute call, Zhong Xin identified three things.

1. The worker is only slightly injured.

2. The glass curtain wall supplier has gone to the construction site for negotiation and processing as soon as possible.

3. There is no direct evidence that it is related to the external wall keel system provided by them.

It's not a big deal at all. The most exaggerated thing is Dake's nervous way of speaking.

As always. This matter will be dealt with quickly.

And it's not worth the fuss.

Life goes on as usual. The bitterness remains.

The main thing is that I don't know the source of my depression.

In fact, life now is much better than it was a few years ago. No more trapped by money, no longer passively beared.

But the strange thing is that although life seems to be getting better and better, the depression is also increasing exponentially.

What is the root cause?

In the past two days, there has been no news from Deng Yi.

When Deng Yi said goodbye and got out of the car that day, Zhong Xian took the initiative to tell him that if he still wanted to continue the investigation, he could do it privately, and he was willing to continue to accompany him and go out of the car to find out all the doubts.

Deng Yi didn't respond to anything. Get out of the car and go.

Zhong Xian did not take the initiative to contact again.

He could feel that Deng Yi had made up his mind. The attempt to stay away is so obvious, and the action is resolute. At this time, it is not wise to use his hot face to stick it hard.

But he couldn't figure out why. After that day in the hotel, Deng Yi's sudden change. It came more suddenly than the summer showers.

Zhong Xian recalled that he had drunk half a bottle of cognac in one sip before going to bed, and whether it was later that the alcohol had flare-up, which made him have a broken memory, maybe he did or said something inappropriate. But this is not very likely, he has never drunk and lost his temper.

He should have just fallen asleep grabbing Deng Yi's sleeve. Could that guy be angry because of this, feel that he was being slighted, or whatever!

Or just because of a contentless, boring evening?

Zhong Xian didn't want to think about it anymore.

He put too much thought into Deng Yi. Far more than the fear of a police officer showing up.

Now that the case doesn't exist. He should also let go. Go with the flow. Each back to its own track.

In the evening,

The light rain was still falling.

seemingly

I won't see the sun anymore.
