Chapter 69: Time

Time is something that you have when it exists, and it doesn't exist when it doesn't.

Especially for people who can't feel the passage of time, time really seems to cease to exist. Many people like to add the word "forever" to their blessings or promises, but they don't know that forever is not actually a reward, but a punishment.

is like Jin Yue, who has been sitting alone in the interrogation room for more than 24 hours, because she doesn't know when and where she is, she is anxious and angry, but she has to restrain herself and pretend to be indifferent.

Zhang Xiaoman sat in the hall of the police station, drank the last sip of instant noodle soup, burped, took out a tissue and slowly wiped the grease mouth clean, glanced at the time on the watch, turned his head and said to Chang Ping next to him, "Help me buy a bag of melon seeds again, I want to be crispy." I can't eat more of the fried ones with salt, because they're easy to get angry, and because the salt is too heavy, my blood pressure will increase if I eat them......"

Chang Ping picked up a few noodles and sucked them into his mouth, and pointed to the dark night outside the door, "Zhang Xiaoman, when are you going to spend it...... It's dark, you have eaten three boxes of instant noodles, five ham sausages, and seven pickled pepper phoenix feet since you sat in the afternoon, and ......" pointed to the police officers who were snoring like thunder on their desks behind them, "It was quite lively when you came, but look at it now, it's all tired, if you don't plan to interrogate Jinyue, I'll go back and rest." ”

Zhang Xiaoman pursed his mouth and said, "Look at your stinginess, it's really Lao Tzu's heroic son." When I was investigating the case in City D, I was invited to eat all the delicacies of City D, and I paid the money as soon as I grabbed the bill, without blinking my eyes......"

"If you don't blink for so long, the lining and cornea of your eyes will rupture, can you still see the bill?" Chang Ping sneered, put down the instant noodle box, and stood up, "I really thought I didn't know anything and was so foolish, didn't I, just a few bowls of noodles, I didn't even add fried eggs, and I still talked about the delicacies of the mountains and seas, wash and sleep, I have everything in my dreams." If you like to work here, stay here by yourself, I'm going back to the office for a while. ”

"Wait, don't worry," Zhang Xiaoman grabbed Chang Ping's arm, "Sit down for a while, fishing, be patient, don't be impetuous." I'm grinding that woman's temperament," a sneer tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Don't look at her pretending to be casual on the surface, in fact, now her heart is already turbulent, swinging, shaking, shaking, there will always be something overflowing." ”

Chang Ping frowned, sighed, and sat down again, "Then when are you going to wait, I have a bottom, so I don't have to wear out other people's patience first." ”

"It's almost there," Zhang Xiaoman squinted his eyes and looked at the interrogation room, "The lawyer can't see it, the phone can't be called, there are people watching eating, drinking, and Lazar, and there is a time limit...... She's on the verge of collapse, and it's just a gamble to hold on now, betting that my patience isn't as good as hers. ”

Chang Ping rubbed the stubble on his chin, "What do you mean?" It's her staying in the interrogation room, and it's not you in the interrogation room, why do you think you're impatient in the first place? ”

"Because I lost my wife and lost my troops today, she guessed that I must be impetuous, at this time," Zhang Xiaoman's eyes gradually became cold, "I want to wait for me to show her flaws first, so that she can be defeated with one blow." ”

"Are you impetuous?"

"How can it ......" Zhang Xiaoman smiled contemptuously, "The old man's heart is like stopping water, and Mount Tai collapses in front of him without changing his face......"

Chang Ping stared at Zhang Xiaoman seriously, "You said, if one day I am also stabbed, are you as calm as you are now." ”

Zhang Xiaoman snorted lightly, "Don't say those unlucky words, the so-called scourge lasts for thousands of years, and your-stirring scourge will definitely live a hundred years......" coughed a few times, "You better go buy a bag of melon seeds and come back, it's boring to sit there." If it weren't for Nie Yi and Li Jun going to check the clues, I wouldn't have bothered you, a bag of melon seeds wouldn't cost a few dollars......"

"It seems that you have become accustomed to calling people over the years...... Chang Ping rolled his eyes, "If you want to eat and buy it yourself, I won't get used to your problem." ”

"I want to go by myself, too," Zhang Xiaoman turned his clothes upside down, "Well, I really don't have a penny in my pocket." ”

Chang Ping tilted his head and said, "It's the first time I've seen someone eat and drink so confidently...... No, how can you have no money, your pension is higher than my salary, and there is a publishing house......"

"The pension is with my wife," Zhang Xiaoman said with a bitter face, "I have never seen my social security card, and since I married Xiaoxiao, my salary card and social security card have been kept by her." In these years, the publishing house does not make money, ordinary people are either working overtime every day, or on the way to work overtime, and there is only one life left in the two words of life, who has time to read. ”

"Yes...... The last time I read a book was when I was studying at the police academy...... "I remembered something suddenly," and it was still not right, so where did you get the money you gave Huang Mao? ”

"That's my private money......" Zhang Xiaoman stretched out a slap, flipped it up and down, and made a look of secretly wiping his tears, "It's been five years, I've saved up for five years to save a little bit, and now it'......s all gone."

Chang Ping laughed, "Zhang Xiaoman, you said that if I told my wife about you secretly hiding private money, wouldn't it be interesting?" Seeing that Zhang Xiaoman's face became more ugly than eating a dead fly, Chang Ping stood up and stretched his waist, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, isn't it just a bag of melon seeds, I'll buy it for you." ”

"Remember to buy raw crispy ......"

"Remember...... But before I go out to buy melon seeds," Chang Ping glanced at the interrogation room, "I'm going to go to the interrogation room first, and ask people what they want to eat. ”

Zhang Xiaoman squinted at Chang Ping, and said meaningfully, "Ask questions, but don't say anything else......"

Chang Ping snorted coldly, walked to the door of the interrogation room unhurriedly, knocked a few times on the door panel, twisted the handle to push the door open, leaned against the door frame with his arms in his arms, and said to Jinyue in a gentle tone, "I'll go out to buy something, do you want to eat, by the way, buy it back together, I'll treat you." ”

"So kind?" Jin Yue stroked the hair hanging from her ears, and said coquettishly, "You don't need to eat, please help me buy a cup of coffee, I don't know how long I have to stay here, refresh myself, and save myself from dozing off all the time." ”

"It's entirely up to you how long you have to stay...... Chang Ping yawned, "as long as you cooperate, you can go home and sleep at any time, and you don't have to spend time here." ”

"Cooperate, I will definitely cooperate......" Jin Yue held her face and stared at Chang Ping with silky eyes, "I will do whatever you say, and I will ensure that I am very obedient." ”

Chang Ping pursed his mouth, "It's useless to cooperate with me, I'm just a miscellaneous person," his thumb pointed behind him, "You have to cooperate with the old man, he nodded before you can go." ”

"That old man is very difficult to cooperate," Jin Yue pouted, "There are so many tricks, it's really exhausting." ”

"So I'm afraid it's going to be a sleepless night tonight," Chang Ping sighed, "Looks like I'm going to have to buy a cup of coffee too...... By the way, is the coffee you want to be full sugar or half sugar, with or without milk? ”

"You can buy whatever you usually drink, I believe your taste ......" Jin Yue blinked and pointed to the watch on Chang Ping's wrist, "I also have a watch of this brand, but it is a women's model, and this one of yours seems to be just a pair." ”

Chang Ping frowned, pulled the cuffs down, and covered the dial, "Okay, seeing that you are in such good spirits, I guess you still want to consume it...... I go shopping first, and then the store closes late, and I go to squint myself when I buy it back, I can't compare to Zhang Xiaoman when I stay up late, people feel less when they are young, and it is common for a few days and nights to not fit their eyes......"

After speaking, Chang Ping closed the door of the interrogation room again, and walked towards the door of the police station with his hands in his pockets.

Zhang Xiaoman glanced at Chang Ping's back, the corners of his mouth raised a strange arc, exhaled a breath of turbidity, patted his thigh and stood up, slowly walked to a police officer's desk, and gently knocked on the table, "What are you a member of the team?" ”

The young police officer nodded sleepily, and said, "I just transferred and I'm still interning, so I usually just help record confessions or something......

"A blank piece of paper, that's better......" Zhang Xiaoman smiled, "Let's go, bring the guy who eats, it's time for us to pry something out of someone else's mouth......"

The young police officer let out an ignorant "oh", opened the drawer of the desk, took out a pair of dishes and chopsticks, licked his lips, and looked at Zhang Xiaoman expectantly.

The corners of Zhang Xiaoman's mouth twitched, and he pointed to the chopsticks in the young officer's hand and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Didn't you say the guy you told me to bring to dinner?" The young officer scratched his head and wondered.

Zhang Xiaoman slapped his forehead, tried to maintain the smile on his face, and said, "I'm talking about the things you usually record confessions, laptops or something......"

The young police officer suddenly realized, "Well, then you should make it clear, this is a guy who eats again, and he wants to pry something from other people's mouths, I thought you were going to take me to supper...... To tell you the truth, I was still wondering just now, thinking to myself how you have such an indecent hobby with such an identity, and you actually like to eat ...... in other people's mouths."

Zhang Xiaoman took a deep breath and smiled stiffly, "Yes, yes, blame me, blame me, let's hurry up, I'll invite you to supper when I'm done." ”

The young police officer suddenly came to his senses, hugged his laptop, and followed Zhang Xiaoman into the interrogation room.

Zhang Xiaoman sat down opposite Jinyue slowly, looked up at the white flickering lamp above, and complained to the young police officer with a sideways face, "Find an opportunity to suggest to your director, this light is not bright enough, it is dim, and it makes people want to doze off......" He turned his head to look at Jinyue, who was silent, "Am I right, Jinyue?" ”

Jin Yue raised her head and smiled, "I think it's okay, it must be your old eyes dizzy...... Besides, wouldn't it be better to make people doze off, so that you can hypnotize others, and that confession is not what you want. ”

The young police officer blushed and said angrily, "You are slandering! All of our interrogations are videotaped, which is absolutely fair and impartial, and we will always interrogate the suspects when they are clear-headed......"

"What's that...... Blank paper," Zhang Xiaoman coughed dryly, "Actually, you don't have to explain so much, it's better not to talk, and use the computer to record the conversation between me and Jinyue with ......peace of mind."

The young police officer shyly promised, "Professor Zhang...... I do have the surname Bai, but I don't call it white paper, a single name is a Chi word, a galloping Chi. ”

"Oh, what a name...... Idiot," Zhang Xiaoman cleared his throat, "Let's get started, time waits for no one." ”

"That's right, you really have to hurry," Jin Yue sneered, "24 hours have already passed, and the time limit for ordinary police detention is only 24 hours, and the longest cannot exceed 48 hours, if you don't apply for an arrest warrant tomorrow, you will have to let me go......"

"Who said it's been more than 24 hours, it's still early," Zhang Xiaoman touched his nose and said without changing his face, "Actually, it's not dark outside yet......"

Jin Yue covered her mouth and giggled, "You're also a professor, why don't you tell lies and don't make drafts...... I arrived at the police station at 4 p.m., during which I ate three meals and went to the toilet five times. It's 10:30 p.m., so you don't think I've been at the police station for six and a half hours. ”

Zhang Xiaoman glanced down at the time on his watch, and sure enough, it was exactly half past ten, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice immediately became cold, "There are no clocks here, and your mobile phone was confiscated after your last communication with the lawyer, so the question is, how do you know that it is now half past ten?" ”
