12. Confession

Zhong Xian felt that something was predestined. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Typhoons cut him off from the rest of the world, and every time he did it before, he felt a great sense of security. But this time he brought a policeman with him.

And this policeman is trying to cross the border between them. Like a dangerous creature with a keen sense of smell and a calculating mind, he searches for every possible void to sneak into his world. This feeling never disappeared for a moment in Zhong Xian's heart.

But he's not one to sit still.

How to get closer to a person's heart and feelings, he should be more proficient than a policeman.

"Have a drink." Zhong Xian was not in a hurry to express his opinion on the time on the paper, he stood up excitedly like a teenager who had found a fun game, "Let's have some wine before reasoning." ”

"You just took your medicine." Officer Deng reminded him.

"I don't care." Zhong Xian limped to the wine cabinet next to the TV wall, took out half a bottle of wine from the middle compartment, and took the glass from the hanging cup rack next to it. He walked back with the bottle and two glasses. "This bottle was opened last night. I drank half of it. Russian red wine is too sweet and not enough sweet. He placed his glasses on the coffee table in front of the couch and poured some wine into the bottom of each glass.

Officer Deng took the wine glass handed over by Zhong Xian, shook it, and took a sip.

"Why did you change your mind again?" Zhong Xian said.

"Change what?" Officer Deng didn't understand what he was saying.

"You didn't seem to want to tell me these times," Zhong Xian glanced at the piece of paper on the coffee table, "and thought it was information that could not be revealed to me, and that there were rules and so on." ”

"If you talk about rules, there are too many rules." Officer Deng showed a rare expression of disdain, "No one wants to take care of this kind of case of missing adults, maybe one day the missing person will appear again, and the effort will be in vain." Because I am a young newcomer, this kind of thankless case naturally falls on my head, and I have no choice. ”

"If you had a choice, what type of cases do you prefer? Homicide? Zhong Xian asked.

"As a lover of detective novels, you must think that criminal police are an interesting job. I'll show you the joke, I'm not qualified to take care of murder cases yet. Officer Deng said, "Speaking of which, I still envy you a little more." ”

"It seems that the police department is indispensable to the style of organs and institutions. Seniority. Zhong Xian said.

"Sometimes it's more serious." Officer Deng drank the small amount of wine in the cup, "It's completely different from the novel." ”

Zhong Xian picked up the bottle and poured him a little more wine.

"Yes, where there are people, there is wrestling and intrigue, or is it just a fun game of reasoning, let's continue. So, Xiao Zhu disappeared a week after he left his job? Zhong Xian picked up the piece of paper on the coffee table, "the last thing he said to his girlfriend was...... Going overtime? But he has already left, which class did he add? ”

"Maybe he's got a new job." Officer Deng said.

"I found a new job within a week of leaving." The bell string emphasizes this. "Most people choose to take a break. Of course, if you are short of money, you can't take care of rest. He thought about it seriously and suddenly found the starting point, "As long as you know where he went to work and which company he worked in on the 8th, maybe you can find the reason for his disappearance." Deng Sir must also be investigating in this direction. ”

"I haven't looked in what direction yet. It has not yet been decided which way to go, and which side to abandon or exclude. Officer Deng said lazily, as soon as he changed his posture and sank into the sofa, looking a little tired, "I've been spinning around in your industry. Mainly for your company. ”

"Xiao Zhu may have changed industries after leaving his job. There aren't many people in our industry, and not everyone can get a foothold. Zhong Xian turned around and picked up the bottle, motioning for the officer to move the glass closer. Their heads on the couch were almost next to each other.

"Let's make do with it. Next time, please drink better. Zhong Xian said as he poured wine into the wine glass in Officer Deng's hand. Speaking of Xiao Zhu's new job, there is another possibility that he was poached by peer companies. Ah Sir, you might as well ......"

"You can call me by name." Officer Deng glanced at Zhong Xian through the wine glass, his eyes bright. "Deng Yi."

"Which yi character?"

"The memory of memory."

"Uh......" Zhong Xian seemed to try to savor the word, "I don't have memory right now." You have a friend who just adds it. After taking a sip of wine, he picked up the bottle and poured another half glass, "But Xiao Zhu is not like that." ”

"Which one?"

"It's hard to imagine any company in the industry poaching him."

"You mean he's not a great guy at work."

"It's not even normal." Zhong Xian said.

Officer Deng looked at Zhong Xian: "There are many companies poaching you." ”

Zhong Xian nodded without thinking: "There are many times when there are five at the same time." ”

"When you leave, you plan to move to another company."

Zhong Xian shook his head: "That's not a good opportunity, most of the poaching from other peers is the practice of small companies." If you want to go, you naturally have to go to a higher place. ”

Officer Deng looked at him. "So which company are you going to go to?"

"I really wanted to take a break before I quit. Going on a tour. ”

"I still have to work after traveling. You should have a plan, you don't look like the kind of person who doesn't have a plan. ”

"I really didn't plan it. I just want to get some rest. I'll talk about it when I get back. ”

"Would you want to change industries?"

Zhong Xian found a comfortable position on the sofa and half-reclined, looked at the TV and said, "It's possible." Football is about to begin. He used the remote control to make a little noise from the TV that had just been muted. It wasn't loud enough to affect their speech.

"If Xiao Zhu was poached by other companies. What is the most likely company? Officer Deng said. As you said, your circle is not large. ”

"I can help you inquire." Zhong Xian said, "It's not a difficult thing to do. However, I still think it is more likely that he will change industries. He rubbed his belly. I'm really hungry. ”

"The dinner I bought you is still on the table." Officer Deng said.

Zhong Xian looked too lazy to move, "You said you've been investigating in our circle?" Is there any progress? ”

Officer Deng was silent for a while and said, "Your colleagues, they all say the same thing. ”

"Are there any colleagues you're focusing on?"

Officer Deng seemed a little puzzled and wary of this question, and his eyes showed contemplation and suspicion.

"Didn't you?" Zhong Xian's eyes were fixed on the TV. Brazil have already scored a goal. "Have you talked to all your colleagues?"

"Almost."

"As far as I know, there are some people you have never asked, and almost all of my colleagues know Xiao Zhu better than me. I'm the least familiar with him. But you, for the most time, have been in contact with me. Zhong Xian said with a smile.

"Indeed." Officer Deng looked in the direction of the balcony, "The typhoon seems to have weakened a bit. ”

"Stronger winds are in the back." Zhong Xian affirmed, "If you're tired, we'll rest after watching football." ”

"Good. I sleep on your couch. ”

"What's the welcome, in bed."

Officer Deng said he wanted to sleep on the couch.

"What? You wouldn't dare to sleep in the same bed with me. Zhong Xian laughed and teased him.

"Why wouldn't I dare?"

"What are you doing on the sofa, my bed is two meters eight, isn't it enough for the two of us to sleep? And the reason you stayed was to take care of me. How do you take care of not sharing a bed with me? ”

Officer Deng shook his head: "I'm because of ......"

Zhong Xian suddenly realized: "It's me who is rude." You can take a shower in my bathroom, change into my pajamas, and oh no, I'll get you a new set of pajamas. ”

"Forget about new pajamas, just find your old T-shirt."

Zhong Xian laughed twice and quipped: "There is something strange between us, something will happen every once in a while for us to meet, and now we are going to start spending the night together." It's really fate. ”

Officer Deng looked embarrassed, this kind of joke seemed to make him uncomfortable, and his appearance made Zhong Xian find it funny. "Isn't it, Ah Sir, oh, Ah Yi? Do you believe in fate? ”

"You don't think it's a coincidence?" Officer Deng said earnestly, but his eyes did not look at him.

"Is it a coincidence?" Zhong Xian looked at Officer Deng innocently, as if he had not had any thoughts. "I guess it's because we're speculating." He still wanted to laugh, not knowing what made him feel compelled to laugh, and he turned his gaze to the TV again, "Maybe it's just the Law of Attraction?" ”

Officer Deng didn't speak, and they stared at the football game on TV together. Before you know it, the game has already been played at halftime.

"It's not all a coincidence." Just when Zhong Xian thought that the question that made him laugh had long passed, Officer Deng slowly spoke. "You know that your company and your colleagues are in a bit of a distorted state, and you are like a clear stream in it, you appear outstanding and unique, and I am willing to approach you. That's definitely not all, though, because I'm a police officer. ”

An uneasy feeling began to rise in Zhong Xian's heart. But his surface was still calm. "What about the police? Can't you make friends in the process of solving a crime? ”

Officer Deng sat up straight on the sofa and returned to his previous soldier-like state, and he thought about it: "Xiao Zhu's phone number became empty, and I retrieved part of the call records from the telecommunications company. The records of unplugging and answering show that they were all as of the 8th, and there was no record after that, until the arrears were shut down and later recovered by the telecom company as an empty number. He said with annoyance, but there was a long pause.

Zhong Xian asked, "And then?" With the records, it should be easy to figure out. According to the phone records of his last day, he called one by one and asked. ”

"There were only three calls that day, and there was nothing strange about the first two. One was to call his girlfriend, and the other was to answer the call to sell the property. ”

"And another?" Zhong Xian asked.

Officer Deng looked at him and didn't speak. The complexion is somewhat complicated. "From my personal point of view, I really ...... I like you a lot. He said suddenly.

Zhong Xian was stunned, looking at Officer Deng's serious appearance, he wanted to make fun of him again: "Why did you choose to confess at this time?" ”

Officer Deng looked him in the eye and said, "You, don't you know? ”

"I don't know if you like me?" Zhong Xian couldn't laugh.

"It was the last call he made."

Zhong Xian's laughter changed, and he slowly stopped laughing, and the premonition he had at the beginning rose in his heart again.

Officer Deng was talking about a difficult thing. "Actually, I've been waiting for you to take the initiative to tell me, because this is also something that can't be hidden, and the important and last phone call record is from him. November 8 at 15:28 p.m. The talk time is 8 minutes. ”

Zhong Xian put down the cup in his hand and wanted to say something, but opened his mouth but didn't say it. He suddenly felt so hungry that half of his body became cold. His pretense of calm seemed to be about to collapse.
