Chapter 19: The Marginals
Jiang Lian was in the office, and his heart had already flown outside.
He turned the pen out of his shadow and finally pressed the dial button.
Just after a short three-tone call, the call was answered.
"Who?"
Qin Man did not save his mobile phone number.
"I, Jiang Lian."
Qin Man was surprised, "Oh, Team Jiang, is there something wrong?" ”
Jiang Lian heard her background voice a little noisy from the phone, and from time to time there was a female electronic voice broadcast at the station, and judged that she should be on the bus.
"Are you free at night? The bombing case has just been solved, everyone has worked hard, please have a meal together. ”
Qin Man refused, "I won't go, and I won't make any effort left and right, so I won't bother you big men drinking." ”
Jiang Lian: "It's already booked, if it's inconvenient, I'll pick you up." ”
Qin Man: "Captain Jiang, people don't have to do it so well, I'm a little tired, I want to rest early, my share, you can eat it for me." ”
She hung up the phone after speaking, she didn't want to go for no other reason, but at this moment, in the back seat of the bus, a man wearing a black mask and a peaked cap was staring at her.
She muttered dissatisfied, "It's still here, it's poisonous, isn't it?" ”
She noticed the abnormality from the moment she got into the car, because this person was still following at a very low level, sneaky, and never took her eyes off her.
She took a cursory glance at the route and stop of the bus, and decided to get off the bus early.
"The vehicle is moving, please pull the handrail, the next stop, Sunshine Business Center, please get ready for the passengers who want to get off, nextstation, Sunshine Business Center."
Qin Man didn't know what this place was, but decided to get off at that stop.
As soon as the car stopped, she quickly picked up her bag and ran down, and the mask man in the back row also hurriedly jumped out of the car, Qin Man didn't look back, just turned his head a little sideways, and saw the shadow following behind him.
She didn't want to make a big deal here, she didn't want to go back to her old business and do something unseemly, but she had to do it as a last resort.
This place is a large commercial center, there are a lot of people, she glanced at it and felt that it was a little difficult to find a place to start, so she simply walked a little further, looking for it as she went.
Jiang Lian was completely rejected by Qin Man, and he simply didn't organize a meal.
Any invitation to dinner is a pretense, he just wants to find an excuse to call and ask Qin Man about the situation.
Since he was ruthlessly rejected, he simply grabbed the car keys and prepared to go home.
The traffic flow in the evening rush hour has gradually begun to block, Jiang Lian's car is stuck in the main road and driving slowly, waiting for a red light is not enough, and then stops.
He habitually had to skim the mirrors and rearview mirrors, only to see the man who had rejected his invitation.
Qin Man walked leisurely with his hands in his pockets, like an ordinary office worker who was tired after a day, dragging his tired body off work, and behind her, a man wearing a black mask and a peaked cap hid his eyes underneath, and he didn't dare to miss a moment to look at her.
Qin Man's pace increased, and that person also accelerated.
At this time, Qin Man had already stepped out of the line of sight that the reflector could illuminate, Jiang Lian looked through the passenger window, and Qin Man happened to pass in front of him, about to go to the next intersection.
Jiang Lian made a quick decision, slammed the reverse disk, turned from the straight lane to the empty right-turn lane, and caught up with Qin Man, rolling down the window and braking at the same time.
Qin Man, who was disguised, was actually highly vigilant, and was frightened by the car that suddenly stopped in front of him, and his steps were stunned.
Jiang Lian showed half of his face, "Get in the car." ”
Qin Man saw that it was an acquaintance, and immediately opened the car door.
Jiang Lian immediately hung out the siren and went off, and drove out with one foot on the accelerator, and the man with the cap behind him didn't dare to catch up again, but just looked straight in the direction they left, until he turned around again and disappeared from the entire block.
He simply sent Qin Man to his home, but the car door was not locked, and Qin Man was not in a hurry to open the door, they each knew in their hearts that it was useless.
Jiang Lian was the first to break the calm, "You are being followed." ”
Qin Man replied very flatly, "I know." ”
As soon as Jiang Lian saw that she was unusually silent, he knew that there must be a demon among them.
"Not for the first time?"
Qin Man didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.
"Why didn't you say that?"
Qin Man pretended to be that hangy again, "It's a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning, doesn't Captain Jiang still have a meal, don't delay it because of me." ”
Jiang Lian stopped her in a deep voice, "Qin Man, if I hadn't bumped into her by chance today, would you plan to continue like this forever?" ”
Qin Man smiled, "Otherwise, I was so scared that I didn't dare to go out from now on?" Or do you want to change your face? Life has to go on, doesn't it? I can't come and kill one by one, what can I do but suffer like this? ”
"Team Jiang, don't make a big fuss, I can handle this little thing."
Jiang Lian's tone became deeper and deeper.
"You know, you just don't say it."
Qin Man picks whatever he wants.
"What am I going to say? Could you please send someone from the Jiang team to protect me 24 hours a day? Or is Team Jiang ready to tie me to the waistband of my pants? ”
Jiang Lian was not taken away by her, and asked the key points.
"Do you know who is following you?"
Qin Man thought about it and answered him truthfully.
"No matter how tightly the news is covered, I'm afraid that Black Shark has already found out that I am not dead."
Jiang Lian turned his head, "Then is your special intelligence department just leaving you alone?" ”
Qin Man snorted lightly, "Tube? How? Jiang Lian, only you, a strange person, want to keep me wholeheartedly, you don't know what kind of dangerous person I am, even Lao Xu can't keep me in the Ministry of Special Intelligence, do you understand? I'm a guy who crawled out of hell, I'm standing on the horizon of black and white, and I can't be a complete bad guy or get back to where I was. ”
"The personal review of me by the Monitoring Group has not yielded results until now, and I am a bomb wandering on the edge that cannot be easily discarded, but I cannot be easily trusted."
"The Special Intelligence Department believes in me, Xu Jinfeng believes in me, and you believe in me, but what's the use. He's stressed enough, and I don't want to trouble him anymore. ”
"I don't want to drag you into the water."
Jiang Lian was silent, even if he knew about things at this level, but when he heard Qin Man say it himself, his heart felt as uncomfortable as if he was being screwed.
This is something he can't do about it.
Qin Man was open-minded enough to accept the arrangement of fate, and leaned back with his hands on the pillow.
"Don't worry, Team Jiang, I have the ability to protect myself, and those little minions who can't get on the table can't threaten me."
"It's annoying, like a fly that can't be shaken off."
Jiang Lian didn't move or speak, she was as gentle as usual, but she could clearly see the worry written on Jiang Lian's face when she turned her head.
"Don't worry about me so much, you also sent me home, don't you still have dinner? Go ahead, don't keep them waiting. ”
Jiang Lian let her go down as he wished, and watched the lights of her house turn on before driving away, he held the steering wheel absent-mindedly, and even when the green light came on, he had to honk the horn of the car behind him to remind him.
Finally, the vehicle started, and a Bluetooth call was made, and it was quickly connected.
"Captain Jiang, long time no see."
Jiang Lian looked ahead, "Old Zhao, how are you doing?" ”
"What else can I do, my security corps, you know, a bunch of every day, what's the matter, when will you come out for a meal?"
Jiang Lian: "Cheng, you set the time, I will definitely go." ”
"Team Jiang, don't sell it, we are both old acquaintances, every time you look for me, you either borrow someone or inquire, what's the matter, what's the big case this time?"
Jiang Lian: "It's not a big deal, but I really want to ask you for two people, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, it's better to rub it in the old place today, how about it?" ”
"Gotcha."
Jiang Lian: "See you or leave." ”
"If you don't get drunk, you won't return, hahaha......"
Jiang Lian hung up the phone, skillfully scuffled the steering wheel, turned around smoothly, and drove into the turbulent traffic.
