Director Zhang didn't know Gao Zhengnan's identity, but when he saw that Director Liao was obviously acquiescing on the side, he said bluntly: "This patient has been in good spirits for several years, and occasionally there are some minor abnormalities, but they are all human nature, the normal physiological condition of men, but tonight is the first time this situation has happened." ”

Gao Zhengnan didn't understand how to understand the normal physiological condition of a man that Director Zhang said, but he didn't want to ask more, after all, Director Liao was also on the side, and some words had to be stopped in moderation. The nurse pushed a test instrument into the ward, and Gao Zhengnan saw through the gap that the people on the hospital bed were sleeping quietly, and there seemed to be no black gas around their bodies. Could it be that he was mistaken? he thought silently.

After chatting with Director Zhang, Director Liao beckoned Gao Zhengnan to return together. Along the way, Director Liao looked a little tired, but he still asked: "Xiao Gao, you and 'him' ...... at home" He suddenly changed his words and said: "Did 'they' meet?"

Gao Zhengnan's eyes flickered a little, and he didn't know how to explain this strange incident. But he still chose to be honest: "I don't know what those are, things like black fog or black gas. ”

"Can you feel it?" Director Liao sat up straight: "It's like before the soup bowl flew over, you felt them, right?"

Gao Zhengnan was not sure how he felt, he was a little difficult to speak, in this closed space, when he and Director Liao were two people, he didn't feel that the other party was a high-ranking leader, Liao Zhijie was more like an elder who had entered his twilight years, he couldn't control his own fate, he was full of fear for the future, he didn't want to give this old man who was close to his sixtieth birthday more worry and horror. Gao Zhengnan said: "Director Liao, don't worry, no matter what, I will definitely protect you." ”

Liao Zhijie sat in the center of the back row, put his hands on the two backrests in the front row, he looked at the crooked downhill road in front of him and said: "I know it's him coming, he's coming for a little revenge." He muttered, his body jerking back into the leather couch like a crashing wall.

Gao Zhengnan looked at him from the rearview mirror, a little unbearable, but he didn't know how to ask. The winding mountain road, with street lamps of ten meters each, slowly guided them down the mountain.

When he returned to the villa, Director Liao hadn't woken up yet, and Gao Zhengnan gently shook him awake: "Director, it's here." ”

Liao Zhijie stretched his body, feeling very tired, he attached Gao Zhengnan's arm and got out of the car, seeing that the other party was still holding the pot of tulips in the crook of his arm, he stared at the flower and said, "Isn't this flower particularly magical?"

Gao Zhengnan looked at the flower in his arms, and the closed bud seemed to bloom only in front of him. He smiled and said, "A very important friend." ”

Liao Zhijie understood that this flower was given by a very important friend, so he didn't say anything more and walked to the house.

Walking to the staircase, he suddenly turned to Gao Zhengnan and said, "Let's go to the study and sit down! ”

Director Liao turned around and walked to the study, and Gao Zhengnan followed behind with his flowers in his arms.

There were neat documents on the desk, and Director Liao sat on his soft chair and motioned for Gao Zhengnan to sit casually. He flipped through the documents on the table, and suddenly stopped, the folder with Xu Bo's case was placed very neatly, and he remembered that after reading it, he deliberately placed the folder in reverse, so as not to let people see the case number on it. He opened the folder, and there was nothing missing in it. He raised his head and glanced at Gao Zhengnan, he only came over at night, did he come to the study during the time he got the key?

Gao Zhengnan felt Director Liao's gaze, and looked up to see a pair of eyes with research meaning. He knew that after such a night, he would more or less not be able to be looked at in a normal light.

Director Liao opened his mouth and said, "Do you know about Xu Bo's case?"

Gao Zhengnan didn't know how to answer when he heard such a direct question, he didn't want to betray Zhou Haiming, for fear of affecting his career, but if he hid it from the old criminal policeman, he was afraid that it would only be in vain. He nodded honestly.

Director Liao sighed and said, "Sure enough, you know." ”

Gao Zhengnan said: "You have given such a task, and I know more or less about it. He deliberately omitted Zhou Haiming's existence.

Director Liao nodded and said, "Indeed, there is no need to hide it from you at all, it is almost easy for your base to investigate this kind of case." After all, it's the number one troops!"

Gao Zhengnan knew that Director Liao mistakenly thought that his source was from the base, and he didn't explain much, such a misunderstanding was much better than directly saying Zhou Haiming, he didn't say much, and he acquiesced in this statement.

Liao Zhijie understood in his heart that if Gao Zhengnan wanted to know these things, he didn't need to enter this study at all, but who was going to turn over his case file? From the moment Yang Xin entered this house, he was told that he could only come in and clean when he was there, and basically there was no way to enter at all at other times. Because he only had the key, only one person had ever entered. Because of his habit of putting the keys in the bedroom, the man was very familiar.

He sighed and rubbed his brow. Gao Zhengnan asked with concern, "Do you want to go upstairs and rest for a while?"

Liao Zhijie waved his hand, what he was worried about was just the beginning, if it was really that person who moved the case, then did the loss of evidence also have something to do with this person? After all, it was he who kept the key back then. A trace of doubt sprouted in his heart, if the arrest warrant was the beginning of his mistake, then the strengthening of the chain of evidence and the disappearance of important criminal evidence were the wrong code for his own mistakes. In the past 20 years, he has been promoted because of the Xu Bo case, but he is also the most taboo for someone to mention the case in front of him, because this case, from the very beginning, he felt that something was wrong.

Gao Zhengnan sat opposite Director Liao, watching him hang his head and not speak for a long time. When there was a slight movement in the hall, Director Liao raised his head and said to Gao Zhengnan: "It's Yang Xin, she gets up at half past five every day to make breakfast." ”

Gao Zhengnan nodded: "You go upstairs to rest for a while! I'll stay outside the bedroom, your meeting will start in a while, you can't do it without energy!"

Director Liao didn't say anything, stared at him for a while, and said slowly: "When I was as young as you, I was also in the army, and I often worked all night, and at that time, I ...... It's hard, but it's also beautiful!"

Gao Zhengnan listened to him quietly, when there was a knock on the door.

Director Liao sat up slightly and said, "Come in!"

Yang Xin pushed the door, leaned in and said, "I saw the light in the study on. She was also a little surprised to see Gao Zhengnan.

Director Liao returned to his usual tone and said to her: "It's okay, I'll talk to Xiao Gao about something, you go get some porridge, we're going to leave when it's dawn." ”

Yang Xin nodded and was about to go out, Gao Zhengnan suddenly said, "Don't go into my room first, I'll clean it and you go in later." ”

Yang Xin said a little strangely: "I saw it when I just sent hot tea to your room, the door is open and clean, it's nothing!"
