He turned around, still with some red eyes looking at the man in police uniform, and word by word, gave his name -

" Yun Li ?"

"......" The officer paused for a moment and smiled, "How did you recognize it."

Qingcheng Xie's gaze swept over the other officer's hand, albeit swiftly, but the officer sensed it keenly.

"Oh ......" the officer looked at his wrist, pondering.

Qingcheng Xie : "I don't think I'm mistaken."

Yun Li was quiet for a few seconds, dropped her hand, and smiled slightly: "Yes. You're not wrong. I didn't think you'd remember me, Qingcheng Xie."

Yun Li, formerly another disciple of Ping Xie.

He and Man Chen's brother, Lisheng Chen, were police academy graduates at the same time, and later died in the line of duty.

Like Lisheng Chen, Yun Li showed amazing talent when he was a student, he was gifted and skillful, and if he wasn't a little weaker than Lisheng Chen in terms of infiltration ability, he would have been the first in the police academy.

After Yun Li joined the police department, after a few cases, the leaders thought he was a very good person, because he was a crisp and clear person, and he was able to do the tasks assigned to him, no matter how difficult they were, he could do them very well.

An old criminal investigation expert at the time commented that he was a natural for the police.

This is why Qingcheng Xie is familiar with Lisheng Chen, but not so much with Yun Li.

At the beginning, the young Qingcheng Xie did not understand why his father treated the two students differently.

Until one day -

"Officer Xie? He's on the fourth floor, go find him."

It was a night when little Qingcheng Xie, who had finished his homework at the police station, wanted to find Ping Xie, and the aunt who swept the floor casually gave him directions, so Qingcheng Xie went upstairs.

The fourth floor was a place he had never been before, where there were interrogation rooms and temporary detention rooms, and where the police uncles who were usually on duty would keep him away. But that day was an exception. The year was 2000, and Huzhou had a fireworks event to celebrate the millennium, a once-in-a-millennium moment. When the fireworks burst into bloom, the night sky was like daylight, and the TV rang with the host's excited voice, even the police officers on duty couldn't help but stand in front of the window and probe to witness this moment of historical change.

So no one noticed a small child, Qingcheng Xie just walked deep into the fourth floor corridor by mistake.

"Dad? Daddy ......"

Perhaps because of the imposing iron fence on both sides and the low light, the very young Qingcheng Xie could not help but call out Ping Xie softly.

Suddenly, he heard some slight movement in front of him.

He thought it was his father and walked quickly over to him, but before he could push the door, he saw a scene outside the bars that made his heart flutter -

There is a middle-aged man with a tattooed arm, Qingcheng Xie knows him, that is a drug / dealer captured by the police. This drug dealer is very tough, it is said to be secretly in love with their female boss, so the trial for many days, the man just refused to divulge the information of their gang.

At this moment, perhaps because of the Millennium event, the rules for interrogating prisoners are not enforced according to the rules, as a rule, the questioning of prisoners should be a team of two, but at that time, the cell is very irregular, only Yun Li a trainee guard.

Through the cold fence, Qingcheng Xie saw that the prisoner's face was covered with a layer of ghastly white stuff, which, upon closer inspection, appeared to be the toilet paper found everywhere in the office. The toilet paper was wet and clung to the drug dealer's face, suffocating him and making it impossible to see anything, and Yun Li?

This intern, who was only in her early twenties at the time - was holding a jar of enamel cups, snow-white fingers elegantly and weakly lined on the ears of the cups, lips lightly opened, the heat blowing away, Yun Li slowly and methodically took a sip of hot tea, lowered his head, eyes staring at the wet paper covering the face of the prisoners.

The prisoner's legs were spasming and kicking, jerking and jerking as if they were dying fish.

Yun Li said softly, "Brother, this water is almost dry, will you say it or not?"

The teacup hangs to the side of the man's cheek and deliberately touches the man's face lightly with the body of the cup.

"If you don't say, I don't mind buying you some more tea, I just don't know if you have the life to afford it?"

"You're extracting a confession! You are forcing a confession!" The drug dealer screamed hysterically, "I ...... am going to report you for breaking the law! I want to complain! Where is your ...... leader? Call your leaders to ...... ah!!!"

The words have not finished, the warm tea soup has been splashed on his face, the paper towel will once again hit through the wet.

Yun Li is still not enough, to his face covered with several wet wipes, the drug dealer's breathing becomes more difficult, exhaled breath can not open the wet paper, even the sound can not come through. He struggled hysterically, handcuffs and shackles rattling, but to no avail.

Yun Li moved closer to him and said coldly in his ear, "Illegal? You're a drug dealer, and you're talking to me about breaking the law?"

His hand lifted up and brushed across the drug dealer's throat.

"I'm not really a cop yet either, you don't need to intimidate me with reports. Also, let me tell you one more thing, the security camera here is broken and it will take many days to fix it, so guess who will see what I did? If you suffocate and die here, who will advocate for you? As far as I know you are fatherless, motherless, wife and childless, right? Do you really think someone will get to the bottom of your death?"

The sound got lower and lower, so eerie over the sound of fireworks and cheering coming from outside.

"Think it through, want to tell all that information ...... you protect your boss, she also does not know, I see her eyes simply do not have you, for her to die like this, is it worth it?"

The prisoner's struggle became more and more powerful, and the low cries coming from his throat became more and more mournful.

The cold light hit them, their shadows were distorted and elongated, projected outside the iron fence, falling on the young Qingcheng Xie, like a horrific and absurd shadow play, in a mad dash.

Qingcheng Xie Open your eyes wide, your mind is a blur, take it all in ......

It is.

He remembered - he was feeling feverish before he went to Ping Xie, and the mental stimulation of this scene was so strong that he was spinning in front of his eyes, and the only thing that was clear at the end was the mark on Yun Li's wrist, where he watched Yun Li strangle the drug dealer's neck as if it would end a The only thing that was clear was the mark on Yun Li's wrist.

That private hand holding the power of life and death, not even like a police cadet at all, but like a reader's hand, soft and boneless.

On the wrist, there is a copper plate large vermilion mole.

The red birthmark is like a ruddy spider, crouching on Yun Li's pale wrist, climbing deep in Qingcheng Xie's memory ......

Twenty years in a flash.

At this moment, Qingcheng Xie stares at the middle-aged man in front of him, the man's face has aged, can no longer recognize the beauty and handsome appearance, but he relies on the wrist of the vermilion red mole, but still recalled the depths of the mind about the man's reflection. This time and then carefully identify its eyebrows, indeed, can still vaguely see some outline.

Qingcheng Xie remembers that he was feverish and frightened, and the child seemed to have a nightmare and fainted, and when he woke up he was already lying in the hospital infusion room with his parents by his side.

He spoke to his father about what he saw outside the cell door, and was struck by the fact that his father looked oddly angry, but seemed unsurprised by what Yun Li had done.

As he grows older, he learns that his father has had problems with Yun Li from the beginning. The young man seems lazy, quiet and uncompetitive, but on several occasions his behavior strikes Ping Xie as over the top and inhumane. That cruelty allowed Yun Li to complete his tasks more decisively than his contemporaries, but in Ping Xie's opinion, this was not a good thing.

Ping Xie later told Qingcheng Xie that although no one believed Yun Li had actually used asphyxiation to extract a confession, it was prudent for them to remove Yun Li from his position at the time.

The drug dealer was eventually sentenced to life, and until the verdict was passed, he did not reveal the whereabouts of his beloved. Yun Li knew about it and just said lightly, "Foolish."

In Ping Xie's evaluation of Yun Li's internship, there is an intriguing passage in which Ping Xie says that Yun Li is only suitable for the technical department, not for the front line, and not for working alongside his teammates.

In too many missions, he has done too much out of the ordinary, as if there is nothing to care about, "to achieve the purpose" is the only thing he seeks.

Such a person has no one to trust and no one to control.

Qingcheng Xie's family and Yun Li have always been faint, Qingcheng Xie once again heard news related to him, it was already a few years later - Yun Li died.

It is very surprising, because according to everyone's understanding of Yun Li, his personal ability is very high, and not too much team spirit, very know how to protect themselves, he should be the task of the least likely to accident kind of person. But he did fall off a cliff during a chase operation and died in the fire of an exploding vehicle.

A search of the archives revealed that he was following the case of Lisheng Chen's death.

He is not close to everyone, and he is not close to Lisheng Chen either, but as a student at the same time and in the same university dormitory, Yun Li does have more contact with Lisheng Chen than with anyone else, and Lisheng Chen is a calm and decent person who treats people very well, so people at the police station think that maybe Yun Li recognizes Lisheng Chen as his teammate. The people at the police station thought that maybe Yun Li recognized Lisheng Chen as a teammate, but he was not good at expressing himself.

Only a few people have some doubt in their minds.

For example, Qingcheng Xie, because he had seen Yun Li kill people without blinking, so there was always a stigma in his heart, and it was hard to imagine what kind of mentality Yun Li had to pay for his teammate's death. But death is important, except for a veteran detective on Yun Li's death publicly expressed a questionable attitude, others did not say anything.

Until now -

Yun Li has reappeared.

Twenty years after his "death" for Lisheng Chen, he reappeared in front of Qingcheng Xie, on top of the island where the Dela Man war was fought, asking them to get into his car, saying it was a request from the organization.

Qingcheng Xie although still unable to analyze a clue, but he has been alert to come forward, silently clutching Yu He's wrist, pulling Yu He behind himself again.

He stared intently at Yun Li, his gaze moving from the birthmark on Yun Li's wrist to the face that still bore the marks of that year.

"Have you been working in the shadows for the organization."

Yun Li said lightly, "Twenty years."

"Why in such a way."

"It's a long story." Yun Li said, "There is no way to tell it to you in detail here. If you want to hear it, then get on board and go back to the ship, and you can take your time to ask the chief commander about me. Or would you rather disobey orders and insist on staying here?"

He said, surveying Qingcheng Xie's hand holding Yu He's wrist, and Qingcheng Xie's lips, which looked paler because they had just broken free of the blood compulsion - he waited quietly, waiting for those lips to give him an answer.

Yu He still does not know why, only that Qingcheng Xie must be acquainted with this person in front of him, observing, suddenly felt Qingcheng Xie holding his hand gently moved a little, finger rubbing, and then moved a little, as if some kind of hint.

Yu He was not moving, his almond eyes turned slightly so a turn, the line of sight quietly fell to Qingcheng Xie's fingertips, watching with bated breath Qingcheng Xie's fingers on his wrist tapping one by one.

Meanwhile, Qingcheng Xie coughed slightly, and after a moment, he said to Yun Li, "I choose to stay."

"Why?"

"Would you leave your companion behind, Officer Lee."

Yun Li did not answer immediately, but asked, "Even if this is an iron order from headquarters?"

Qingcheng Xie said, "I have never been a real police officer. Any order from headquarters is not valid for me."

"......"

"You can go turn in now, Yun Li ." Qingcheng Xie gazed into the man's eyes, "Go back."

"You insist on not leaving?"

"No go."

Yun Li quietly leaned on the car door, he observed Qingcheng Xie's actions, especially Qingcheng Xie fingertips gently tapping Yu He wrist details of the action, while smoking out the Marlboro in his hand, when the cigarette fell to the ground, hit the stars, he suddenly tilted his head and laughed: " ...... Qingcheng Xie , really worthy of you. The Morse code with your little boyfriend is really good, you still plan to pretend to how long?

"!!!"

Like a dagger, the words came out, the arrow on the string broke through the air, shattering the tense atmosphere.

Several things happened almost simultaneously -

The Jeep behind Yun Li roared to life, carrying Man Chen straight towards the dark forest.

Qingcheng Xie suddenly rushed forward to stop the car and sternly said to Yu He, "Do it!!!"

In the next second, Yu He suddenly raised his hand, which was still bloodied, and pointed it hard in Yun Li's direction, ordering with the power of blood compulsion, "Kneel down!"

The shocking change was only in the twinkling of an eye.

Yun Li's eyes widened as she stumbled and fell forward, and Yu He barked at the driver who was stepping on the gas and heading for the forest, "Stop the car! Stop the car!!!"

This time, I don't know if it's because of the distance, the jeep driver is not affected by the blood compulsion, still broke through Qingcheng Xie and Yu He's block, carrying the dazed Man Chen sped away. Qingcheng Xie's face changed slightly and he was about to go after them when he suddenly heard an eerie -

"It's about time for the game to be played."

Qingcheng Xie looked back and saw Yun Li's lips slowly blossoming into a thin cold smile, then indifferently raised his eyes, rose from the ground, patting away the dust, he was not affected by the blood compulsion!

Yun Li's lips opened and closed, and coldly said towards Yu He and Qingcheng Xie, "Sorry for the controlled look, I am teasing you guys. It's been a long time since I've played like this with the juniors."

"......"

"It's a pity, isn't it. The blood compulsion has no effect on me."

Yu He : "...... you have clear heart ring on you?!"

"Clear Heart Ring?" Yun Li laughed softly, "No. I don't need that kind of thing. By the way-"

He glanced at Qingcheng Xie's movement of putting his hands behind his back: "Don't play any more tricks on me, because in your blood, the latest generation of obedient water is already flowing. Your orders to me are useless, but my orders will work on you."

Yu He did not believe, Qing Tie face: "Impossible ......! When ......"

Both he and Qingcheng Xie were very careful about what they ate, especially before the duel, and Yu He could confirm that he had never eaten anything that was suspected of being poisoned.

"Oh? Don't you believe me?"

Yun Li smiled faintly, that smile vaguely the magnificent lazy look of the year, at this moment, he seems to be that cell like a snake almost let the drug dealers suffocated to death young beautiful intern again. The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

The man didn't explain, he just proved he wasn't lying by his actions: "Well, why don't we give it a try."

Words in the mouth, a sudden turn -

"Go to sleep."

The two words were decisive, and the order fell. Qingcheng Xie and Yu He suddenly felt an extremely strong dizziness in the brain, the feeling is too horrible, as if there is a large amount of anesthetic spread in the body, take away the consciousness only in a flash!

Before losing consciousness completely, they heard Yun Li's unspoken words -

"Qingcheng Xie, I appreciate your choice not to leave him behind. It's just a pity that different paths don't work together, and I have to be your enemy ...... so I'm afraid this is the last time you two will meet."

......

Last meeting?

What do you mean ...... how did you get poisoned by the hearing water ...... obviously already very attentive, how could ......

"Don't ...... can't ...... don't be the last time we meet ......" Suddenly a murmur floated into Qingcheng Xie ear, like a ripple in his heart slowly spread.

Qingcheng Xie's consciousness was already very fuzzy, but he still turned his head back to the youth who made this murmur.

It was Yu He, who was also running out of steam.

Yu He consciousness has been blurred, and his eyes appear very lax, but that lonely Long Xiao still insisted on using the last bit of strength to go forward, trying to pull Qingcheng Xie's hand: "Don't be the last time we met, you were just willing to hug my ...... brother ......"

But the eyes are sinking more and more, as if a butterfly into a spider web, simply can no longer break free.

Qingcheng Xie saw his other hand take something from his pocket and reach towards himself, as if trying to hand it to himself with his only remaining strength, the youth whispered, "Brother, I'm sorry, I've dragged you down again ...... I... ..."

He didn't finish.

Or maybe Qingcheng Xie didn't finish listening, just like inhaling anesthesia before surgery starts, at a certain point, the person's consciousness disappears instantly.

Qingcheng Xie only remembered Yu He's almost sad look at the end, and then he didn't know anything, and his eyes were completely plunged into darkness ......
