Chapter 63: Missed Calls
I put my index finger in front of my lips and motioned for Ye Li to remain silent before answering the phone. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Xu Long's concerned voice immediately came from the other end of the phone, "Hey, is it Luo Jun?" ”
I said softly.
At first, I thought it was the approval from above, and the identity verification could be carried out, but this idea was immediately denied by myself, from the submission of the application to now only half a day, which also includes sleeping at night, those departments just go through the process for more than ten or twenty days, when did you have such a high work efficiency?
Hearing my voice, the other party's anxious tone regained stability, "Are you okay?" Why don't you answer my phone all the time? ”
"Didn't you hear, is there anything important that you are looking for me so urgently?"
"It's not important, and the approval from above hasn't come down yet, I already reprimanded Xu Cong yesterday and asked him to take good care of you, but he came back alone in the evening."
"I told him not to follow, it doesn't seem necessary for you to reprimand him, right? He's not my orderly. ”
Some of this Xu Long's practices always make me feel weird, but I can't say that there is anything wrong, maybe this person's personality is like this.
"I'm not worried about you, how can I say that we've been working together for so long, haven't we? It is likely that you will still be a colleague in the future, Xu Cong said that you were in a bad state last night, so I want to ask. ”
"I'm fine." I replied lightly.
Just before I answered the phone, I glanced at the missed calls, there were more than a dozen, and I wouldn't be stupid enough to think that this was just Xu Long's call to care about me.
The other party has maintained his usual style from beginning to end, subtle, and he can't speak clearly, but he tries his best to test himself around the bend.
The other end of the phone was silent for a while before Xu Long's voice rang again, "Actually, there is a more important reason why I was so worried about you last night, and that is Li Rui." ”
"Li Rui? What happened to him? When I heard the name, I felt a pang of irritability in my heart.
"Since you revealed your identity in public yesterday, his behavior has become a little strange."
"Strange?"
"Well...... I can't tell you about this on the phone, where are you now? ”
Li Rui is one person I have to care about, if there is anyone who poses a threat to me now, it is only him.
"Then I'll go back to the team now." I thought about it and said.
"Nope." Unexpectedly, Xu Long immediately rejected my request, "That's it, in an hour, we will meet at the old place." ”
The old place he said was the safe house hidden in the residential building, and it seemed that Li Rui's strange behavior this time was unusual, otherwise Xu Long would not have chosen to meet me there.
Hung up the phone, Ye Li didn't know when she was no longer around, I looked at the time, at half past ten in the morning, I thought about whether to have lunch and then go over, after all, Xu Long would not bring food for himself.
After a while, Ye Li changed her clothes and walked out of the bathroom, saw me put down the phone, and asked curiously, "Whose phone is it?" You're in such a hurry. ”
I picked up my clothes and pants that I had dropped on the ground and replied casually, "It's from the criminal investigation team." ”
As I spoke, I had put on my shirt and trousers, and I moved my arms again, feeling that the wound was not so painful anymore.
It's incredible that last night's exercise didn't affect my wounds. But to be honest, if you look at some things from a different angle, it's really hard to say who took advantage of whom.
Ye Li suddenly stopped talking, her eyes were staring at me tightly, and there was a faint worry in her eyes. This concern is understandable to me, after all, she is also one of the parties to the revenge room, and although the case has been closed, it has not yet been announced to the public, so the number of people who know about it is very limited.
I smiled at her with what I thought was quite friendly, and said in a relaxed tone: "Actually, the case we experienced has already been closed, and the police will hold a press conference to announce the news in a few days." ”
I said this just to reduce Ye Li's psychological burden and let her not have to worry about it anymore, but I didn't expect that after the other party listened to my words, his expression became more solemn.
"What's wrong with you? Are you not happy that the case is over? I asked, puzzled.
Nie Qian hurriedly replied as if she had just woken up from a dream, "No, no, of course not, it's just that this news came too suddenly, and I couldn't react for a while." ”
I smiled and pinched her smooth face and said, "I'm going to have to go out on errands soon, would you be interested in having lunch with me?" ”
"No, I have some things to do, so I won't eat lunch."
Ye Li's answer was very unexpected to me, I thought that after last night she would completely entangle herself, but I didn't expect that the incident did not seem to have any impact on her, her independence and self-confidence can be seen.
Ye Li's answer made me a little embarrassed, I coughed to hide my embarrassment, and said, "Oh, then forget it, you are busy first, if it's okay, I'll leave." ”
The tacit understanding between two people is not something that can be formed overnight, even if they have experienced skin-to-skin intimacy, especially the relationship between themselves and Ye Li, it is still more awkward than natural to get along.
The other party also seemed to feel this, and hurriedly explained: "I really have something important, don't be upset, in the evening, let's have dinner together in the evening, okay?" ”
At the end, she suddenly snorted, and her face showed a pitiful look.
To be honest, I didn't take this matter to heart at all, and even now I have no feelings for Ye Li, and I don't even feel the pleasure of the flesh.
The decision to be with her was more because of Nie Qian's betrayal and the trace of guilt in my heart, nothing more, and the other party's answer even made me feel relaxed for a while.
"It's okay, really, you don't have to mind so much, we'll get back in touch in the evening?"
Seeing the other person nodding, I smiled with relief, turned around and walked in the direction of the door, saying as I walked, "Then I'll go first." ”
Just as he walked to the door, Ye Li suddenly spoke again, "Luo Jun, wait a minute......"
I turned my head and raised my eyebrows to look at her and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
"You just said that the case is closed, which means that the murderer has been caught?"
I thought about it, anyway, the police would announce the entire case in a few days, so I simply told Ye Li the result, so that the other party could rest assured.
But twice in a row, this will of his own was shattered.
The murderer is dead, and this answer did not make Ye Li relax, but seemed even more preoccupied.
I left with a stomach full of questions, and before leaving, Ye Li didn't talk about it again, but just told me to go home for dinner in the evening, which made me a little unaccustomed to it.
Ye Li's residence is not far from the criminal investigation team, and it is no wonder that I met her in a nearby bar, but I never thought that I would have a relationship with her in such a daze, or without my knowledge, it is really embarrassing.
I ordered a bowl of noodles at a fast food restaurant downstairs, and when I was halfway through eating, I suddenly found that Ye Li also walked in, and she was alone. She looked around, since it was already lunch time, there were many customers in the store, Ye Li didn't notice my existence, she ordered at the counter, and sat down casually.
Didn't she just say she had something important to do? Why do you come here to eat alone now? Could it be that she, like herself, doesn't know how to deal with this sudden relationship?
I didn't know, and I wasn't interested in getting to the bottom of it, so I ate my noodles quickly, and I hurriedly left the restaurant while Ye Li wasn't paying attention.
I flagged down a taxi at the intersection, got in, pointed out where I was going, and then casually flipped through the missed calls on my phone.
After a closer look, I realized that from last night to now, only half of the dozen or so calls I have not answered have been from Xu Long, and the rest are from another number.
Lin Hui's number!
I said softly, "Huh", and said in my heart, what is the matter with Lin Hui looking for me in such a hurry? He also knows about his stay in the criminal investigation team these days, could it be related to Nie Qian?
The more you force yourself to forget, the easier it will be to jump out and dance in front of you, as if you will forget it.
I hurriedly dialed back, but the strange thing is that the other party's mobile phone has been turned off, is it out of battery? I dialed another one, and after making sure I couldn't get through, I gave up, I didn't have Zhong Lu's phone, and now I can only wait for Lin Hui to call again.
I checked Lin Hui's missed calls, almost all of them were made at one point in time, at 10:02 last night......
