The heat smokes the face, making both faces slightly blurred.

Bai Mang leaned back, his hands had left the table, and his fingers were tightly interlocked. This is an action that she has only had in the face of extremely complex psychological feelings over the years.

"Investigated." Bai Mang replied lightly, raised his eyelids, and asked, "Will that investigate the cause of my mother's death?" ”

If that person has already been investigated, the police should contact her soon.

"No, it won't." Jiang Chuanyao told her very clearly, "Mr. Bai's case was closed seven years ago, and it has nothing to do with him." ”

"It really has nothing to do with him?" Her rhetorical question almost burst out of her mouth.

"Yes."

"Your mother did commit suicide, and it was Professor Zou who assisted in the investigation of Mr. Bai's case, and it was for this reason that I followed Professor Zou." Jiang Chuanyao said, "Although the results of the investigation have not come out, he was investigated this time because of the problems of the two large-scale science and technology innovation projects he was responsible for, one of which you should know, the core technology led by Helan University back then." What's more, when he made profits for Jiang Heming's enclosure, he would investigate together. ”

"How do you know that?"

"He personally stated it to me, and when it comes to his part, he probably knows what the consequences will be."

"No murders, huh?" The corners of Bai Mang's mouth twitched, and the ridicule under his eyes was very obvious.

"He is a very cautious person with a bright future, and it is impossible to do something like Zhong Tianyao. Zhong Tianyao did use Qiao Bai to catch him back then. The matter between him and Qiao Bai is also a problem in his emotional processing. ”

Qiao Bai was pregnant, and he didn't know that it was Jiang Heming and Zhong Tianyao who forcibly imprisoned Qiao Bai and forced her to give birth to the child, which could be used as a condition for the exchange of benefits. You can understand that it is another form of threat. In the past, I always thought that Jiang Heming was afraid of him, but in fact, he was more guarded against Jiang Heming and Zhong Tianyao. ”

"My existence is the black spot of his political career, and the higher a person climbs, the more afraid of image damage."

Because Jiang Chuanyao's last sentence was full of partiality and understanding, Bai Mangcen's face crossed a trace of obvious mockery.

"Is that really the case? In your statement, he seems to be another form of victim, he didn't hurt Qiao Bai, nor did he hurt Bai Hui...... Jiang Chuanyao, should I believe you? ”

Bai Mang moved the corners of his mouth disapplausively.

Jiang Chuanyao's face did not change, and he accepted all her doubts and suspicions in a silent manner.

……

It was as if a crack had opened in my heart, with light above and a black hole below. When she was dealing with the case, Boss Yang, who was the first to take her, often said that there are two sides to people's hearts, and they bet on which side wins.

All the while, she trusted someone unconditionally.

This person is Jiang Chuanyao in front of him.

Even though she and him are separated by a sea, and the two are very different in identity, he is still the one who may hurt her most relatives by blood.

She believed in him.

Whether it was when he chose to break up seven years ago, or for a long seven years, she always believed what Jiang Chuanyao told her: he wanted to be a righteous and powerful person.

He will always love her in a righteous way.

Therefore, in the past seven years, even if she feels emotionally sad, her heart has never been confused; Because she felt that even if the two went their separate ways, she and him would meet again one day.

Because she and he hold on to the same beliefs.

"Jiang Chuanyao, do you believe that he is innocent?" She changed the question. It's not that she believes him or not, or whether he believes him or not.

Jiang Chuanyao looked at her patiently, his eyes were complicated but bright, and then he answered her this question in a flat tone: "There is no absolute in justice, there is no absolute in a person's good or bad, and it is too harsh to define a politician's life with innocence...... But it is true that he is full of guilt about some things in the past, some for Qiao Bai and some for Zhong Ling, but he has not hurt Teacher Bai. That's what I can promise you. ”

"What about you...... Why did you break up with me at that time? ”

"It has something to do with the Jiang family's arson case." Jiang Chuanyao clasped his hands, his gaze crossed the steaming side stove, fell on her, and continued, "At that time, Jiang Heming was investigated and intimidated and threatened many people, Jiang Heming's study contained the bad business with Zhong Tianyao back then, if the information at that time was investigated, it would affect many people, and many people in it had energy and skills. As Jiang Heming's son, I will be in danger at any time. ”

It didn't matter if he was in danger alone, but he wouldn't allow her to be in danger again.

The breakup was certainly not the only reason, but it was the only way he could protect her at the time.

He looked for Jiang Xiaoxin, and Jiang Xiaoxin made a condition to him, as long as he went to Beijing with him, he would arrange it in Ningshi. Jiang Xiaoxin's arrangement was to ask the counselor of the department of Lan University to find her and ask her if she was interested in enlisting in the army as a college student for training.

Although life in the army is hard, her absolute safety can be guaranteed inside.

And she did.

It's just that the later development is beyond the arrangement, because of her outstanding performance, she was selected as a special forces. Hearing the news, he wanted to be honest with her quickly; He had arranged for Jiang Xiaoxin to go to the army once, when she had the honor of participating in a simulated operation, she fought in the jungle with her teammates, and she was as brave and fearless as a little leopard. He also looked at photos of her daily training, and her performance was positive and upward at every moment, her eyebrows and eyes were shining, which was the light he longed for and feared.

In fact, she has always been afraid of wind and rain. She and her life are all heroic and fast.

After returning from the army, he began to study for graduate school and was admitted to the Department of Psychology of Beijing University.

She's chasing the light, and he's chasing her.

Bai Mang lowered his head, raised his eyes for a while, and asked, "Jiang Chuanyao, can I trust you?" ”

Time has changed a lot, once she always believed in him, now she doesn't believe in any verbal explanations.

Even if she still loves him in her heart.

"You can trust me slowly." Jiang Chuanyao said.

Bai Mang: "I have always felt that he is the biggest threat in my life, including when you broke up with me, and you also thought that he forced you, and you chose to compromise for my safety." So over the years, I've tried to be stronger, just so that one day we still have a chance to be together...... But I entered the procuratorate, not because of you, but because of Bai Hui. ”

"Bai Hui has lived by faith for a long time, and I later understood what it was like to live by faith, that is, I had to accomplish this and stick to everything I thought it was."

"Do you know what my faith is?"

"I want to bring her killer to justice." Bai Mang raised his compelling gaze and looked at Jiang Chuanyao with a smile that almost sarcastically appeared on the corner of his mouth, "You tell me that he is innocent......"

"I'm sorry, but I do have to take my time to—trust you."

……

Bai Mang left early, and before leaving, she forgot to use the coupon given to her by her boss, because Jiang Chuanyao paid for it.

Jiang Chuanyao sent her home......

No, it was the two of them who went home separately, and they only stopped by when they got to the door.

Bai Mang walked into the house, turned on the main switch, and turned on all the lights in the house. She likes that every corner of the house is filled with light, and no corner is allowed to be weighed down by shadows.

She came to the study.

After Jiang Chuanyao broke up with her, she went back to Cloud City, and then brought almost all the things that Bai Hui left in Cloud City, including books and documents.

The computer and display screen on her desk are the same as those used by Bai Hui seven years ago.

This kind of book is stacked on the table, Bai Mang sits on the swivel chair and pulls out a book, which is Bai Hui's first masterpiece "A Thousand Birds", she turns to the last page, and the protagonist finally confesses the reason for his crime:

"Don't be afraid to uncover some ugliness, cowardice only breeds sin. Don't feel useless to resist, because it will only be useless if you don't resist. ”

Bai Mang put the book "A Thousand Birds" in his briefcase.

The court starts next week, and there are still three days left for the girl to finish reading the book.

When she opened the drawer, it was full of cigarettes, and she inherited all the cigarettes left by Bai Hui. Occasionally, when she had a hard time at work, she would order one. I can't take a taste, but I can calm myself down completely.

Bai Mang lit a cigarette and soberly examined his inner emotions.

When Jiang Chuanyao told the truth she had pursued over the years tonight, she didn't have any surprises, but felt even more depressed.

All along, she would rather believe that Bai Hui was killed than commit suicide.

The murder means that Bai Hui was forced to leave her.

Suicide means that Bai Hui took the initiative to abandon her.

The cigarette between the fingers almost burned out, and there was a clear numbness burning in the fingers.

It's good to be mature, although my heart is extremely low, but it is easier to accept such a truth than when I was eighteen years old.

Why did Jiang Chuanyao tell her the truth clearly now, it was definitely not he who knew the answer.

Bai Mang extinguished the cigarette butt, picked up his mobile phone and found it in the contact, a person he hadn't contacted for a long time.

Zou Ruize.

Professor Zou, who also participated in Bai Hui's case back then, is Zou Ruize's cousin. Jiang Chuanyao gave her this information, and naturally thought that she would definitely contact Zou Ruize.

Zou Ruize has been in Beijing all these years, she broke up with Jiang Chuanyao, and there are few opportunities to meet Zou Ruize. When answering her phone, Zou Ruize was not surprised, and still spoke in a clear and pleasant way: "Prosecutor Bai, I'm so glad that you can still think of me and save my number." ”

"You're in Beijing now?"

"Is there something wrong with me? Then you are also lucky, I came back last week, and I am still in Ning City today...... However, tomorrow at 10 o'clock the flight will fly to City A. ”

"Do you have time for the night?" Bai Mang glanced at the time at the bottom right of the computer monitor and asked.

Zou Ruize's slightly embarrassed voice came out of the earpiece——

"I might have something going on at night...... Otherwise, my family lives in the Heyue Mansion, and a hundred meters from the south gate of my house, there is a breakfast shop that is particularly delicious. Come over tomorrow at seven o'clock, and I'll invite you to breakfast? What do you think? Just come alone, don't bring that annoying guy from Jiang Chuanyao. ”

"I'm definitely not going to take him."

"Hah...... He hasn't gotten you back yet, has he? Zou Ruize exaggerated gossip.

Bai Mang: "......"

"I have gotten together a lot with him in Beijing in the past few years, and I know some things about you." Zou Ruize explained, pausing, "I know, he must live next door to you now." ”

Bai Mang: "......"

"Tomorrow at seven o'clock, I'll be here on time." She assured that she didn't really promise Zou Ruize, but hoped that he would be on time.

"See you tomorrow at seven o'clock." Zou Ruize had already hung up the phone briskly.
