Chapter 127 The coming year.
Coming out of the conference room, Jiang Bei kept staring at his hands, and almost bumped into the trash can in the corridor.
The name Yang Chao wrote on the back of his hand was still warm, and he was not surprised by this result. He had thought of a person through various details earlier, and he was only short of a correct answer, but... Yang Chao and him Yes, why did you touch his hand?
In the past, he might feel nothing, but now, except for a specific person, physical contact with others in non-emergency situations can be called unnecessary intimate contact, which is not advisable.
The days in winter are always very short, before five o’clock, the sun is going to get off the morning shift after a hard day, it first restrains the harsh light, and renders the whole sky with a touch of gentle orange as a farewell, and That special person is standing in the crimson setting sun at the moment.
Jiang Bei saw him right away through the window.
Jiang Nan probably regards the Municipal Bureau as his second home. Besides coming to wait for people to get off work, he also likes to bully the stray cats raised by the uncle at the door.
He took the uncle's cat out of the warm security booth. The cat was obviously displeased with someone disturbing its sleep, and jumped to the ground covered in fur. Unfortunately, it was caught by Jiangnan and attended an education class, and it was only after being masturbated by others that it found a chance Get away.
Jiang Nan didn't understand why both domestic cats and wild cats despised him. He was distressed when he suddenly felt a gaze fall from his back, turned his head, and met Jiang Bei face to face.
There was a distance between the two, and Jiang Bei watched him run over. His figure grew from a small spot to a green belt under the window, crushing the evergreen grass.
The office building of the Municipal Bureau has steps at the entrance, which raises the whole building by half a meter, and is not on the same level as the square outside. Even though Jiang Nan is tall and has long legs, he can only put his head on the window sill after a lot of effort. Looking up at Jiang Bei from bottom to top.
"Do you need me to wait for you to get off work?" Jiang Nan blinked, his slender eyelashes fanned out at a disturbing frequency, shattering the slanting sunset, "If you don't need it, I'll leave first."
Bewitched by the charming afterglow and the gentle night wind, Jiang Bei almost said "need", but after thinking about it, Jiangnan is not his property, Jiangnan is an independent individual, even if he is so idle that his waist protrudes, There's no reason why he should be in his sight at all times.
Jiang Bei put his hands on top of Jiang Nan's head, messing up his new hairstyle, which he thought was handsome but was actually the same as usual: "Where are you going?"
"Of course it's retaliatory consumption," Jiang Nan rubbed his head against Jiang Bei's palm, "...Okay, let's go to a movie and go to the park or something. The weather is fine today, and I actually want to invite you to a picnic, but It's getting dark... wait until next time, or next spring."
"Next year" and "spring" are both beautiful words, and even Jiang Bei said, "Well, wait for the next year."
"What about you?" Jiang Jiang asked, "Who are you waiting for now?"
Jiang Bei replied honestly: "Wait for Lin An."
To be honest, Jiang Nan thinks that the design of the office building of the Municipal Bureau is unreasonable. The ground is so high that his feet hurt on tiptoe. This design is probably to prevent people from peeping at the secrets outside the window.
He picked up a stone to step on, stabilized his body and said: "Ah~ Lin An is out, he will bring you good news."
"Maybe it's good news for you too." Jiang Bei leaned down to prevent Jiang Nan from looking up too tired. "Before, Qiu Zongfu refused to say anything because he was sure that the police had no evidence. Now it's different. With bargaining chips, you can Forcing Qiu Zongfu to reveal more information, not only the missing children, but also the mysterious guest and Cheng Ye's death, maybe you will not be a suspect soon."
Jiang Nan smiled and said, "I will be very touched that you will clear the suspicion for me in person."
The smile was so fake that even Jiang Bei could see the clues: "Your expression doesn't seem to think so, you don't seem very happy, are you blaming me for not believing you at the beginning, and now you are coming to make up for you?"
"No, I don't blame you, you have the right to suspect anyone," Jiang Nan took off the scarf and put it around Jiang Bei's neck, then jumped off the rock and waved at him, "I'm probably upset because today is a special day— —I’m leaving, and I may return later, if you get home first, you don’t need to look for me, you need to turn off the mute when watching a movie.”
Jiang Bei also wanted to ask what day is today, could it be "the eighth day of the next lunar month"?He opened the calendar on his mobile phone and looked, only to suddenly realize that today is the day he met Jiang Nan, and it was also the anniversary of the death of Jiang Nan's mother - 14 years ago today, on a cold winter night, the fledgling Jiang Bei met Jiang Nan for the first time. At that time, he was not called Jiangnan, maybe he didn't have a name at all, Jiang Bei only thought of him as a thin child who fell into the water.
But Jiang Bei was a landlubber, and it rained heavily that night, so he couldn't catch the child floating in the river at all. Jiang Bei's first mission ended in failure, which left a deep memory in him, accompanied by regret and self-blame. For a long time in the future, he has always used his children to remind himself that he can no longer fail.
For that failure, the seniors didn't blame him, they told him that it was a woman who couldn't figure it out in the middle of the night and wanted to commit suicide, so she took her son to jump into the river, and God couldn't save a person who wanted to die.However, this lame reason did not comfort Jiang Bei. What comforted him was the search and rescue news that came a few days later, saying that the salvage team had recovered a female body. As for the child Jiang Bei mentioned, there was no whereabouts.
Jiang Bei secretly rejoiced, telling himself that the child is still alive, but at the same time worried about what to do if the child has no mother?In the follow-up investigation, he also went to the woman's place of residence and asked the neighbor if the child had come back. If he did, Jiang Bei wanted to send him to a good place to grow up, but everyone gave him the same answer. is not coming back.
It seemed that every negative answer was blaming Jiang Bei. After a long time, Jiang Bei didn’t even want to go for a walk by that river again. It wasn’t until 13 years later that a young man suddenly appeared and solved Jiang Bei’s problem. Knot.
Does Jiang Nan really want to go to the movies?Or do you want to pay homage to his mother and his drenched childhood?But no matter what, he shouldn't be disappointed to be disturbed.
Jiang Bei watched him leave silently. That tall figure was about to melt into the glow of the sky. The infinitely elongated shadow made the mottled shadows of the trees cut apart. He walked slowly towards the gate in the corner of his vision. Night Breeze Take his clean clothes, as if he is the luminous body, the whole picture looks like the finale of the novel.
Jiang Bei watched and thought about it, and suddenly his heart trembled. He couldn't understand why he used "the finale of the novel" to describe the scene when Jiangnan left. He was obviously just going to a movie, or paying homage to his mother.
When he wanted to call Jiangnan back, the young man had already melted into the vast crowd and disappeared like a fish in an instant.
Think too much?
Jiang Bei thought, and at the same time prayed that it would not rain tonight.
Yang Chao, who was standing in the corner silently watching the two show their love for each other, finally got tired of it. He was almost full of dog food. The attitude of digging the ground with your toes.
But it was not Yang Chao who was abused, but Lin An who appeared out of nowhere.
As a single, capable faction, the damage value of dog food to him was as high as [-] points. He saw Jiangnan gone, and then he dared to hate: "Has the face of the little bastard evolved again? Dare to abuse the dog in broad daylight under the eyes of everyone... ...No, abuse!"
Yang Chao didn't realize that Lin An was behind him at all, and when he heard his voice, he was really frightened: "When did you come back?"
Lin An: "When the little bastard gave Brother Jiang a scarf, did he just need to send a scarf to find a partner?"
"I don't know," Yang Chaochao laughed at Lin An, "but I know that if you can't find a partner, you can't be called a single dog anymore, but a widowed old man."
Lin An: "..."
The damage value is as high as [-] points!
When he was wronged, he shouted from a distance: "Brother Jiang, look at him."
After listening to the whole conversation between the two, Jiang Bei clenched his cold avatar again at this moment. He didn't want to deal with Lin An's oily coquettishness. Door.
It has been four hours since the last time someone visited. Qiu Zongfu, who had been interrogated repeatedly, finally caught some time to catch up on sleep. He was having a big dream of Spring and Autumn. He fell from the supreme position in an instant to the real world full of chicken feathers.
His image is really not good, his coat is wrinkled, and the hair that hasn't been washed for a long time hangs in strands on his oily forehead. He has completely lost his former amiable appearance.He hadn't woken up from his drowsiness, so he opened his eyes to see Jiang Bei turn off the indoor camera, and as soon as the two scarlet dots went out, Qiu Zongfu started to panic.
He looked around again, and there was no one else except him and Jiang Bei. If they were interrogating, they would need to be accompanied by a clerk and one or two policemen. Right now, there were only the two of them, and Qiu Zongfu was not sure what Jiang Bei wanted to do. Silence?
That can't be.
Soon, Qiu Zongfu had another guess——Jiang Bei turned off the monitoring because he was afraid that the content of the conversation would be leaked, and they knew it.
With this realization, Qiu Zongfu no longer had the backbone to keep his mouth shut. He swallowed his throat and said, "Detachment Jiang, isn't this against the rules?"
"Rules are dead, but people are alive. Besides, even if they don't comply with the rules, I will be blamed. What are you afraid of?"
Jiang Bei sat across from Qiu Zongfu, and was not in a hurry to ask routine questions. He just flipped through the report in his hand and looked at it from his sitting posture, as if he was here to discuss mergers and acquisitions, and the things in his hand were his bargaining chips.
In Qiu Zongfu's impression, Jiang Bei has always been a persistent and disciplined person, and all his actions are within the bounds of the rules. Qiu Zongfu is very uncomfortable with the sudden change of face.
What he didn't know was that Jiang Bei's remaining acting skills were all used on the suspect, and he could adjust the most appropriate tone and expression according to the other party's performance and attitude.
Qiu Zongfu was about to open his mouth, but Jiang Bei raised his hand to interrupt him, and then he only heard the other party say: "It has been verified that 20% of the children adopted from your orphanage in the past [-] years have not registered their household registration, and they cannot contact the adopters. .”
The topic was caught off guard, and Qiu Zongfu didn't realize it for a while: "I—"
Jiang Bei interrupted him again: "You don't know? Or is it a matter of adopters and has nothing to do with you? Well, in fact, we couldn't find adopters because some of them went abroad. , There are even immigrants, people's hands are only so long, there is always a place they can't reach, but if you say that the adopters went abroad by coincidence, obviously it doesn't make sense, do you still provide one-stop service of adoption and appearance?"
Hearing that, Qiu Zongfu broke into a thin sweat, but fortunately, he was still able to bear it: "This is really out of my control. They don't report to me where they go, so they can't be blamed on me."
Jiang Bei glanced at him, ignored him, and said to himself: "Your ex-wife said that since she divorced you, she has started to take care of your property... It should be said that she has taken risks for you. For more than ten years, you have given her money one after another. A lot of large sums of money were used to purchase real estate, and she asked her to mortgage the real estate under her name, but the money from the mortgage did not reach her. Did you confiscate it? —— Your method of property transfer is too low-level Do you think that people don’t know about the divorce? I think you need to explain the source of this large sum of money.”
Qiu Zongfu cursed secretly in his heart, "Mother-in-law of melons"!He didn't expect that the police would really investigate his wife who had been divorced for more than ten years. The key point was that the woman couldn't stand being lied to.
Qiu Zongfu's eyes rolled away. After thinking about Yu for a while, he chose to give up.
"It doesn't matter if you don't say it," Jiang Bei guessed the result, and was not annoyed. "Anyway, if you can't tell, then this fund is still gray income, and you will bear the same consequences."
Qiu Zongfu frowned.
"Also," Jiang Bei stretched his neck and leaned back in his chair, like a businessman who is bound to win, "I'll tell you something you didn't expect."
Jiang Bei doesn't like to be tricky, but in order to see Qiu Zongfu's slightly disfigured facial expression, he paused for two seconds, and then said: "Qiu Feng remembers who pushed him, you can't think of a disabled boy who can still remember what he saw when he was a child." Human? He can even understand what you say."
Qiu Zongfu's pupils constricted suddenly, he had never paid attention to that stupid young man who was as soft and sticky as a sheep, isn't that just a bad guy who is easy to bully?
Jiang Bei propped his head, taking in the other party's reaction: "He said that the person who pushed him had also stayed in the orphanage, and even went back to find you last winter. Coincidentally, Cheng Ye also died last winter. What's even more coincidental is that this person is also a 'friend' with Cheng Ye. Of course, he also has an identity with us—a wanted fugitive. Do you know Xu Jialei? He died, and it happened to be Liu Tianyu from your orphanage who killed him. "
"On Christmas Eve, you put Liu Tianyu in the orphanage and let him do whatever he wanted on the second floor of the performance hall. Afterwards, you organized the children to create chaos to help him escape... Well, gray income plus cover for criminals, Qiu Dean, you have a lot to explain, or do you want to keep silent and let your ex-wife and Qiu Feng personally identify you?"
Qiu Zongfu clenched his cheeks tightly, trying to stretch the loose flesh into a Chinese-character face. Every time Jiang Bei said a word, his heartbeat missed a beat, and the previous arrogance and smoothness disappeared.
Jiang Bei smiled and asked, "Can we have a good talk now?"
