Chapter 13: Scruples
Lou Yue was silent, Ye Yu didn't know how to speak, and the atmosphere fell into embarrassment again.
Lou Yue's gaze stayed on Ye Yu's face for a while, then he looked away, sat down on the sofa opposite Ye Yu, and took the lead in breaking the deadlock.
"I know what you want to ask, I did bring you here today to go through the entry procedures." Lou Yue's words were straight to the point. "I want you to be a member of the Special Investigations, at least for the time being."
"Why did you suddenly want me to join you?" Ye Yu threw out questions.
"To give you a 'talisman'." Lou Yue leaned lightly on the sofa, crossed his fingers in front of him, and said slowly, "You are now being targeted by a dangerous organization, and our current manpower cannot guard you 24 hours a day, so this is the best way to deal with it." ”
"I don't understand ......"
Lou Yue lowered his head slightly and thought for a moment, "Let's put it this way, regardless of the fact that the other party found out about your 'expulsion physique', the reason why you were targeted is fundamentally because the other party is afraid that you will reveal his identity, so he panicked and caused an explosion to kill his mouth." ”
Ironically, it was the other party's extermination that exposed him...... Ye Yu sighed silently in his heart.
Judging from Chen Yan's case, the other party tried his best to create the illusion of an accident and secretly planned to seize the Blood Key Stone, which is bound to not want to attract the attention of the official. If you are a state official, then the other party will have some scruples, after all, if something happens to you, the state will definitely pay attention to the matter and investigate it thoroughly, which will undoubtedly be extremely unfavorable to him. So if you join us, the other party will not dare to touch you, at least not for a short time. ”
Lou Yue raised his head, "In addition, acting with us is more or less safe than you alone, but doing so also requires a name to the outside world, so I arranged a position of assistant investigator for you." ”
Ye Yu lowered his eyes and looked at the teacup in his hand, his heart was entangled.
He understood that Lou Yue was indeed out of consideration for protecting him, if he was someone else, he could become a state official and be sheltered, it would be too late to rejoice, but Ye Yu was a person with very professional ideals. In order to realize his dream of being a journalist, he endured hardships since his internship, and finally became a real professional reporter, but because of this unwarranted disaster, he gave up his long-term pursuit, which made him very uncomfortable.
Lou Yue's gaze swept over Ye Yu's face, and the latter's tangled expression all fell into his eyes.
"Having said that, although the identity of the official can indeed temporarily deter the other party, I can't guarantee 100% that the other party will not stop there, so the most thorough solution is to catch them quickly." Lou Yue sighed softly, "After the matter is resolved, if you want to go back and continue to be a reporter, I will arrange it for you." ”
"Really? That's great......" Hearing the other party's answer, Ye Yu was a little relieved, "By the way, if I join you, what do you need me to do?" ”
"Nominally, you are my assistant investigator, but in reality you don't need to be in charge of specific cases, just assist in some peripheral civilian work here. If you plan to become a regular journalist in the future, I don't recommend that you get too involved in the affairs of the bureau. Lou Yue said solemnly, "Even if this arrangement is temporarily approved by the General Administration, if you know too many things, I can't guarantee that you will be able to go by then." ”
"I understand this, and I will keep everything related to the Blood Keystone strictly confidential." Ye Yu hurriedly agreed, and he also knew in his heart that these secrets must not be spread.
Lou Yue nodded lightly, and then got up, "The follow-up procedures Aqi and Xiaoyan will help you handle it, you just need to assist in signing, and it will be officially reported the day after tomorrow; As for your company, I'll take care of it for you. ”
"Oh yes, so where am I going to live now?" Ye Yu suddenly thought of a problem, judging from his current situation, he couldn't live back to his parents' house, and it was unrealistic to find a house temporarily, so it could be said that he was really "homeless".
"Xiao Yan will arrange it for you." Lou Yue dropped a sentence lightly, opened the door and walked out of the reception room.

In the evening of the same day, in an underground office, Sister Mu was frowning at a file.
The file photo shows a bald man, in his thirties, with small eyes and thick lips, a slightly chubby face, and a smiling expression. "Jin Biao, known as 'Brother Tiger' on the road, used to be a thug under a certain backbone of the "Shengyan Society", specializing in teaching those 'disobedient' disciples with fierce methods." A young man next to him explained to Sister Mu. "He was sentenced to prison after the ban on the Holy Face Society, but because of his good behavior, he was released early last year and has been unemployed since."
Sister Mu put down the file and looked at the young man, "Have you found any connection between him and Chen Yan?" ”
The young man nodded. "Jin Biao seems to be mixed up in ** since he was released from prison, there are rumors that he is doing smuggling business, and his income has been unstable, but since the end of last year, we have found that a large amount of money has been fixed into his account every month, and the payer is a woman named Li Li." The young man handed a document to Sister Mu. "And this Li Li is one of Chen Yan's mistresses."
Sister Mu took the document and flipped through it slightly. "This Li Li is just an eight-line model who has just entered the industry, and it is impossible to have so much money, I am afraid that there is someone else who pays Jin Biao every month. Does she only have Chen Yan as a financier? "Yes, so we suspect that Chen Yan used Li Li's account to send money to Jin Biao. And......" the young man paused, "the time to start making money was closer to the time when Chen Yan got the ring. "You just mentioned that Jin Biao may be in the smuggling business, could it be that Chen Yan got the ring through Jin Biao?" Sister Mu crossed her arms, leaned on the back of her chair, and lowered her head in thought, "But even if Chen Yan got the ring through Jin Biao's black market channel, it stands to reason that it should be paid in a lump sum, and this kind of monthly payment is more like being blackmailed." "But since last month, the payment has been interrupted." The young man added, "If it's really blackmail, I'm afraid Jin Biao won't give up." "Where is this Jin Biao now?" Sister Mu looked up and asked.
A trace of chagrin appeared on the young man's face, "He disappeared, just on the day of Chen Yan's accident. "It seems that this Jin Biao is very suspected of being involved in the Chen Yan case, and he contacted the public security department to assist in the search." Sister Mu got up, her eyes suddenly sharpened. "In addition, immediately confirm Li Li's current whereabouts, I will meet her."
The young man answered, and quickly left.

At half past nine in the evening, in an ordinary community.
Ye Yu turned on the light with a "snap", and a single room of about 40 square meters came into view. "This is one of the temporary external footholds of our bureau, there was a senior who lived here temporarily, although it is a little smaller, but the basic facilities are still very complete." Xiao Yan smiled and introduced to Ye Yu. "You can stay in the near future, it's still relatively safe here."
Since the conversation was finished during the day, Ye Yu hadn't seen Lou Yue again, and the next complicated procedures were all handled by Ah Qi and Xiao Yan with his assistance, and he was busy all day. The apartment in front of me is located in a community not far from the municipal building, and it was also arranged by Xiao Yan for herself. "Thank you so much!" Ye Yu hurriedly thanked Xiao Yan, after all, people have been busy for him for so long. "Haha, what's the politeness, everyone is going to be colleagues." Xiao Yan covered her mouth and chuckled, "It's not too early, you can rest early, I'll go first, call me if you have something." "It's so late, why don't I send you back?" Ye Yu was a little worried. "No, no~ Don't worry, none of the women in our Special Affairs Investigation Bureau are easy to mess with~" Xiao Yan teased, and then said goodbye to Ye Yu and left the apartment.
Silence returned to the surroundings, and Ye Yu looked around the room.
The facilities in the room can be said to be clear at a glance, there is an open kitchenette on the left hand side of the door, a bathroom on the right hand side, and the rest is a bed, a chair and a desk in front of you.
Although the facilities are simple, the room is very clean, and someone should come to clean it regularly, which is enough for Ye Yu, but some personal items need to be purchased.
Looking down at my watch, at 9:40, the nearby convenience store shouldn't be closed yet, right?
Ye Yu took his wallet, carefully locked the doors and windows, and was about to go downstairs, but suddenly stopped as if he had thought of something.
After being stunned for three seconds, Ye Yu sighed, turned around and opened the door again and entered the house, took out a few band-aids from his bag and pasted them to the opening of the window in the room from the inside; After locking the door, put another one on the gap at the bottom of the door.
Ye Yu felt that he was about to become nervous, but the previous gas explosion made him palpitate, even if this was a house arranged by the bureau, in the case that the murderer had not yet returned to the case, he could only keep an eye on himself.
After doing this, Ye Yu went straight downstairs and went to the convenience store at the entrance of the community.
The convenience store is not far away, and it is only about ten minutes walk. Ye Yu bought his things and walked back to the apartment quickly, and the first thing he did was to check the band-aid on the crack of the door. Due to the special material of the band-aid, even if it is torn off and then pasted on, the wings will still be somewhat deformed, but fortunately, the band-aid at the crack of the door still remains in its original state.
Ye Yu quietly breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door and entered the house, and went to check the windows in the room as soon as he threw his things away. Since the house is on the second floor, it is also possible to sneak in from the outside if you have the heart.
The windows in the bathroom and kitchen are not unusual, except for the large window next to the bed.
Ye Yu opened the curtain and looked at it carefully. The Band-Aid's wings were firmly glued to the window frames on either side, and there was no sign of tearing, and it seemed that no one had entered the room during the time he was gone.
Ye Yu was completely relieved at this time, and he even felt that he was so suspicious if he had watched too many detective dramas, so he couldn't help pinching his forehead gently.
Before he could pinch it twice, Ye Yu's movements suddenly froze, his fingers began to tremble slightly, and his heart beat wildly.
I saw a figure reflected in the window in front of me, standing quietly behind Ye Yu.
