The highway bombing has been at the center of the residents' discussion for the next half a month -

"The lady in red has been undercover for years, only to avenge herself."

"Uncovering the dark truth about Zhilon Entertainment."

"High-speed explosion, witness death, who is behind it?"

Headlines such as these also occupy the most eye-catching positions in the major online media and paper.

It was discovered that the highway bombing was similar to the Italian Mafia's attack on Justice Falcone.

Liping Jiang and 12 of the officers accompanying him died, eight others were seriously injured, and the safe deposit box disappeared.

This shocking change for many people, is undoubtedly a very huge blow.

Liping Jiang although in the process of being captured to explain some things, solve some mysteries, but after all, the time is too short, many more important content she did not have time to say before the death of the spring. The huge explosion directly raised her to dust and bones, leaving almost nothing behind.

Huzhou was caught in the rain for half a month after the incident, and the anxious police officers became more and more depressed as a result -

Informants die, roads explode, evidence disappears, and even more tragic are the lives lost in the blast.

Condolences, condolences, reassurance, farewell, name calling, public press conference ......

The atmosphere at the police station was more gloomy than the sky.

They did their best to save the wounded and the clues that Liping Jiang had left behind - in their brief and very valuable conversation with her, the police learned that the leader of the criminal organization was called Duan Wen.

But I'm afraid Duan Wen is not his real name, and this man and those mafia bosses, Myanmar drug lords, are long been suspected by the police, but never implement the evidence to arrest the tricky characters.

The arrest of a black organization leader is not so easy, with a few testimonies, a few witnesses, some circumstantial evidence can be achieved, and even messed up will be bitten back. Especially this Duan Wen is not the nationality of the country, but also not often stay in the territory.

And when Italy Falcone died, the mafia capture and trial case that was about to make a major breakthrough quickly fell into an infinite delay.

This time after the highway explosion, a large number of clues also interrupted in that disappearance of the safe. Although the investigation has a direction, but also stuck in the mud of the stalemate.

Everyone was frustrated, but surprisingly, Qingcheng Xie was the one who reacted the least.

He is very calm, one might even say used to it.

He waited for nineteen years for the cause of his parents' death, one hope at a time, but again and again hope broke before him.

Until the dawn actually shines on him, he doesn't harbor much expectation and therefore has no strong sense of loss.

What's more, he had little time to get frustrated, as Liping Jiang gave them a sample of the new RN-13 at Zhilon Entertainment. With the sample, they were able to dose Xue Xie, Man Chen and the victims involved.

These people ingested the new drug in small doses and were able to achieve a cure after treatment. Qingcheng Xie has to keep an eye on the development of the antidote and has to go to the laboratory frequently, with little free time.

But on the day of mourning, he took the time to go to the cemetery and lay flowers.

After laying a bouquet of flowers to the fallen police officers, Qingcheng Xie went to another cemetery. It was a cemetery belonging to the civilian population.

Liping Jiang's grave is located there.

Qingcheng Xie came alone to pay his respects, he didn't want to be in contact with too many people. Unexpectedly, after coming to the cemetery, he saw a familiar back.

"Lao Zheng ......"

"...... Oh, Xiao Xie ah." Jingfeng Zheng stood in front of the tombstone, turned around to see him, sighed and nodded.

Qingcheng Xie walked up to him, "Come to see your informant?"

"Yes." Despite not wanting to show any soft-heartedness, Jingfeng Zheng's face wrinkles can not hide the sadness and regret, "I never thought ...... it was her ...... "

The pines and cypresses are verdant and follow the wind like waves.

"Before the Canton Tower case, this informant whom I had never met provided me with a lot of valuable information, and because of her intelligence, we have avoided at least a dozen incidents over the years that could have resulted in serious human deaths." Jingfeng Zheng fell into a memory, closed his eyes and sighed long, "I really didn't expect it to be her ......"

Qingcheng Xie was quiet for a moment and said: "She had talked to us before about the biggest umbrella of the city bureau. I have also told you, you have to pay attention to him when you investigate these cases later, we have no evidence in hand. That's all we can do for now."

Falling leaves float down and perch on the front of the stone steps.

Qingcheng Xie : "This is your informant, the last information given to you."

Jingfeng Zheng looked desolate.

Qingcheng Xie : "Old Zheng, protect yourself. Don't let him find out that you know these things."

After he finished, he gazed back at the words on the tombstone -

Liping Jiang's monument now bears her real name:

Ping Sun .

Next to her grave is the new mound of Lanpei Jiang, who, after twenty years of illegal detention and a full year of death, finally gained her true identity when her student Ping Sun told her the truth. Her tomb, like Ping Sun's, is inscribed with the true name of a person who no longer belongs to the darkness:

" The Tomb of Xiuhe Jin"

Jingfeng Zheng : "When she used to leave me letters, her signature was always JLP, but the last time ...... which is the one you saw in Neverland, her signature became Jiang. Lan. Pei. We thought it was some kind of hint at that time, who knows ...... alas ......"

Qingcheng Xie was silent for a long time: "...... She wants to live like her teacher."

Old Zheng was contemptuous: "Then you say, she is considered to be living as Xiuhe Jin?"

Qingcheng Xie did not reply.

He recalls the day at Zhilon Entertainment when Liping Jiang told them that she was the informant and said that the notebook on Neverland was signed with a message.

The situation was so urgent that, without thinking, she reported the JLP she had been accustomed to before, instead of the only time she signed her name as "Lanpei Jiang".

For this reason, she was almost misunderstood by Yu He as trying to harm them, but she refused to explain the reason. Now that I think about it, maybe in Liping Jiang's heart, Lanpei Jiang ......, also known as Xiuhe Jin, is always kind and clean.

She was covered in blood, and after she killed Jiankang Wang, she never wanted to call herself by the alias Lanpei Jiang.

"Or ...... is she sort of living up to being what Xiuhe Jin expects?" Old Zheng was still mumbling questions.

Pine and cypress trees rustle in the distance.

The wind blew by, taking away Old Zheng's sigh.

Qingcheng Xie never answered Lao Zheng's words, perhaps this question could not be answered by anyone except the people in the cemetery.

He just quietly looked at their long resting place for a while, and finally took out a box of Marlboro he had with him, and a box of women's cigarettes he had bought on purpose, and placed them in front of Ping Sun and Xiuhe Jin's tombstones.

"You can smoke whichever you want, you two have worked hard and don't have to endure any more. ...... rest in peace."

He said, closed his eyes, bowed three times deeply to the graves of these two women, turned, and departed.

Qingcheng Xie treats people not without compassion, but he must be very cold and calm, for him, all the weakness, sadness, regret, are in the internal consumption of his own, but also failed the time.

He had to go.

.

Because the accident involved Man Chen, Qingcheng Xie had to come up with some kind of statement to hide the truth about the biological experiments, and repeatedly pleaded with Wang to try to handle the matter as a confidential incident to minimize the number of people who knew about it.

He is not distrustful of Commissar Wang, but this experiment is about cell regeneration, after all, the fewer people who fully understand the better, otherwise there is no guarantee that more people will move on the crooked mind.

And once the truth is all told to Commissar Wang, then Yu He is also good, himself, and Ciyan Qin ...... all the living dead who have been involved in this experiment will be at great risk.

The mentally ill are still classified as heretics by society, let alone them, who are experimental subjects with special abilities similar to those in science fiction movies.

The consequences are unthinkable.

Qingcheng Xie only said that Man Chen was injected with a special drug, and did not tell the real efficacy of the drug and the original invention of the drug to any uninformed person, including Man Chen himself. Anyway, they certainly can not investigate clearly for a while, the root system of RN-13 is too thick, growing for more than twenty years, many parties have died, even if the political commissar Wang personally to investigate, it is difficult to quickly have any results.

For the Wang family, the explanation they want is that their grandson Man Chen is safe and sound, and Qingcheng Xie can give them this explanation as soon as the antidote comes out.

"Professor Xie, coming?"

A reception nurse greets Qingcheng Xie at Meiyu Hospital.

The nurse was very enthusiastic: "Are you visiting Xue Xie today? Or do you want to see Mr. Chen first ......"

Qingcheng Xie : "No time, don't even look."

Nurse: "......"

"So you're going to ......"

"The lab."

The nurse said to herself: how ruthless a big brother, those two can be thinking of seeing him every day.

It is for this reason that Qingcheng Xie does not want to meet with Xue Xie or Man Chen much.

Man Chen, needless to say, Xue Xie, since waking up and watching the news, knowing that his brother had actually encountered such a terrible danger, as soon as he saw Qingcheng Xie, he cried, hugged, and dragged him away.

Qingcheng Xie easily calmed her down in the past few days, and really did not want to deal with his sister's emotions, so he chose to avoid seeing her.

He was taken by the nurse to the staff passage, swiped his card straight away and went up to the top floor.

The dean is helping to keep an eye on the progress in the lab.

Seeing Qingcheng Xie coming out of the elevator, the dean's eyes widened: "...... Professor Xie? What are you doing here again? You are like this, you still come?"

"......" Qingcheng Xie also did not expect the dean to be in, to the old man caught a square, very some embarrassment, "I have nothing to do, just came to see."

The dean didn't even know what to say.

Qingcheng Xie came to Meiyu for a simple checkup after the dust of the highway bombing case had settled and he finally felt that his body could not hold up.

The test results, as both he and Qingcheng Xie knew, were not promising at all.

As an old friend of Ciyan Qin, he naturally hoped that Qingcheng Xie could cherish more, but what Qingcheng Xie thought seemed to be the exact opposite of him, and he had almost given up on himself, not bothering to care about his current situation.

The dean pulled him aside and tried to organize his words several times, but didn't know what to say to him, and finally just said, "You go back early."

"I'm really fine today."

The dean insisted, "You go back."

Another said: " Xue Xie their medicine is I can help you stare, you do not waste more energy on this matter."

When Qingcheng Xie wanted to say something, he immediately added, "Think about Rongbei Qin's situation."

"......"

"Think about what she'll do if you can't hold out."

Qingcheng Xie's eyes moved slightly.

The dean knew he had played his card successfully, and he patted him on the shoulder, "Go back. Take good care of your own body, and in a while you'll need to take time to come over for a detailed examination to see what kind of condition the function of your organs has reached."

Qingcheng Xie drops his eyelashes at the words, "......"

Dean: "Go ahead."

Qingcheng Xie had to curse and left Meiyu Private Hospital. On the way back, he couldn't help but cough gently, and his eyes were dizzy again.

Dean is right, he is really too much attrition recently ......

But what the fuck could he do?

He would like to stop and rest, and also want to be like ordinary people do not have to worry about the lack of time, it is better to recruit two assistants to work with him to get things done - he can?

He simply had no choice.

Qingcheng Xie caught his breath, parked the car to the side, went down to the convenience store to buy a glass of water, took the medicine kept in the car, and then leaned back for a while, waiting for his strength to slowly recover.

And that's when his car stereo went off.

Contact: Kid.

Qingcheng Xie muffled his cough and picked up Yu He's phone.

"Hello."

Yu He had already returned to school, and his leave length was seriously over the limit. The counselor politely said that if you have another long leave of absence this semester, then even if you get excellent grades on the final exam, you still won't get your daily marks, and you will not only delay the selection of the next student council president, but you may even have to retake the subject.

Yu He humbly and politely apologized to the counselor, promising that he would not take a long leave again, and finally made the counselor's face flushed red with deer in the headlights, but he felt that he was too strict with the child, so he hastily gave a few words of advice and ran away.

Going back to school is the perfect thing to do after the storm is over, to avoid excessive cross-examination by parents.

He also gets to see Qingcheng Xie at the next school.

Yu He clearly felt that Qingcheng Xie's attitude toward him seemed to have eased up after the incident in the basement fire.

Although the frown is still very light and the speech is simple, he feels that at least Qingcheng Xie will not deliberately avoid him anymore.

When Yu He was pleased, he sometimes took advantage of the situation and went to Qingcheng Xie's faculty dormitory after class to have dinner and talk about cases together.

Today is no exception.

"Brother Xie, where are you?"

Qingcheng Xie did not answer and asked, "What's wrong."

"I came to see you, and your dorm was empty."

"I have something to do, you go back to your own dorm."

Yu He paused for a moment: "But I don't have the key. It's so late, my roommates are all asleep, so I can't disturb them."

"......" Qingcheng Xie sighed, "Then you can wait for me for a while. About half an hour."

Yu He then hung up the phone satisfied.

Qingcheng Xie leaned back in his chair tiredly, with his forehead in his hands, the light from the traffic next to him swept in through the window, shining across his cold, hard chin.

In this moment of physical weakness, he could not help but think of the conversation he had with Yu He in the basement of Zhilon headquarters, of his own feelings at that time, of Yu He's eyes, and of that kiss that he did not think much about and perhaps did not quite understand even himself ......

He closes his eyes, his chest choking.

He felt that he was really wrong about that kiss.

But why did you do it at that time when you knew it was wrong?

What kind of impulse and emotion was that ......?

During this time, he kept calmly analyzing his relationship with this boy - now he has confirmed that the deep love Yu He gave him is not a fallacy, and the boy's feelings cannot be changed and will not return even if he dies. So what would it be to continue to be entangled with Yu He like this ......

If you don't stop in time, you'll really become a dog scum who can't be responsible for the end of the relationship with the college student.

If this continues, not to mention sorry Yu He, he is even sorry Jiwei He ...... Although he and Jiwei He are not considered to have any deep feelings, but that year, after all, Jiwei He gave him the opportunity to practice, exceptionally let him into the laboratory study.

As a result, he learned to become a talent, but hooked the feelings of the son of Mr. He.

And Yu He still doesn't even know that he's chasing after a possible ending ...... so stupidly so foolishly chasing after him ...... a heart is torn out to hold for him ...... fuck , yes! He knew he was handsome, but would he still be handsome if he died? A few days to burn to ashes! Who likes ashes? Yu He is a fucking idiot!

The more Qingcheng Xie thought about it, the more annoyed he felt. He put on his seat belt, turned his head and looked behind him at the Meiyu private hospital building that he could still see.

--

" Qingcheng Xie , doing something like this, you will be in pain."

"Alas ...... if you insist on it, I can only help you."

"Don't worry, it's a secret between us, I won't let a third person know."

As he looked at the gilded letters on the Meiyu private hospital building, it was as if the words the director had spoken to him in the past were ringing in his ears again.

Qingcheng Xie closed his eyes, sword brows slightly knitted, coughing gently, I do not know whether in the wind or in the throat, he smelled a little blood.

The fishy sweet taste is very secret, only Qingcheng Xie himself knows.

Just like the truth he never told Yu He that was hidden in Meiyu for years.
