Early the next morning, seven o'clock.

Jianning City Public Security Bureau.

——Hey!

The curtains were not opened in the secretary's office, the sky was dim and dim, and the desk lamp that hadn't been turned off all night was still on, reflecting the two transparent evidence bags that were thrown on the table.

For a long time, Yan Xiu wore a light blue shirt, three-supervisor epaulettes, dark blue police uniform trousers and leather shoes. He had a rare and serious temperament. He stretched out his hand to pick up the two evidence bags and frowned.

It was a slightly rusty bullet case and a twisted bullet head.

"Can you recognize it?" Lu Ju asked quietly, standing behind his desk with his hands behind his back.

In an instant, countless thoughts swept away in Yan Xiu's mind, like a computer CPU filtering a large amount of data in an instant. The final picture was frozen a few months ago in the middle of the night in a village in Jiangyang County, and Fan Wu and other desperadoes were about to pounce on the critical juncture. Jiang Ting resolutely pulled down the index finger of the trigger.

"...I can't recognize it," Yan Xi raised his head to look back at Lu Ju, and uttered four words calmly.

The space for the lamp to reflect is limited. When Lu Ju stood up, his upper body was almost shrouded in darkness, and the eyes on his round face were particularly sharp, fixed in the depths of Yan Xi’s pupils: "Can't even recognize you? Then let me remind you of a location, Jiangyang County-do you have an impression?"

Yan Xi put down the evidence bag and smiled a little apologetically: "It's true that I don't know what you said. I really don't understand what you said. Maybe it's because of my average grades in the police academy. The theoretical knowledge of firearms and bullets. I have given it back to the teacher in the past two years, it is really......"

"I thought that even if there is only one person in this world who can recognize this bullet, that person will definitely be you." Lu Ju interrupted him, and finally laughed, returning to the old smile of Maitreya. Appearance: "June 19 serial kidnapping Anzhong, you go to Jiangyang County to interrogate Li Yuxin. On the way back, you ran into Fan Wu's group who attacked the police with guns. You, Xiao Zhang and Li Yuxin were all shot. Old Wei personally took Huang Xing after the incident. They went to the site to investigate. This 9mm Ruger shell was one of the physical evidence brought back at that time. It was also the only one of the eight shells at the scene. The primer and the traces of the firing pin were completely different from other shells."

Yan Xiu's expression changed slightly.

"The warhead was found in a gap in the back seat of the police car from Jiangyang County Police Station after getting out of the police car from the bottom of the river. Preliminary ballistic analysis showed that the warhead entered the water after hitting the target and just got into the broken car window. , Got stuck in the back seat-if it didn’t get into the car, maybe the police would never be able to salvage the warhead from the mud at the bottom of the river, but because of this coincidence, it could be discovered by us. Careless but not missing."

"...What are the characteristics of this warhead?" Yan Xiu asked cautiously.

"There are two places." Lu Ju paused, and said: "First, it has rifling."

Rifling?

Manufacturing professional barrels requires high-end equipment controlled by the state. Therefore, whether the warhead has rifling or not is one of the key basis for distinguishing between native guns and standard guns. The soil guns and bullets used by Fan Zhengyuan and Fan Wu were not rifled, but now the bullet in the evidence bag is rifled. What does this mean?

——A standard hand|gun appeared at the scene that day, and it may even be a military and police gun!

"Second," Lu Ju stared at Yan Xiu and slowly said, "Your blood was detected on this warhead."

Yan Xiu's eardrums banged, and he sat motionless in the chair for several seconds.

"After interrogation of Fan Wu, the confession proved my guess that the bullet at the scene was not shot from their barrel. In other words, except for Fan Wu who was hired by Wang Xingye to kill Li Yuxin at the scene that day In addition to the people, there is another group—or another gunman, who only fired one shot."

There was no sound in the office, and the city bureau building was still shrouded in tranquility before it was time to go to work in the morning.

Lu Ju’s voice finally broke this dead silence:

"The target of this shot is you."

Yan Xi slowly loosened his hand holding the evidence bag, leaned back on the back of the chair, and finally said in a low voice: "I didn't notice at all that day..."

"Interpol work may forge many enemies, but I have never seen a few criminals who dare to retaliate against the leaders of the deputy provincial public security detachment. Existence, you have a good background, strong confidence, and your usual style of acting is very hard. It is possible for others to hate you and want to die because of what you have done. Do you have any guesses in your heart?"

Yan Xi was silent for a long time and said: "I don't know."

Don't look over when he said these four words, Lu Ju seemed to see something from this subconscious micro-action, squinted his eyes and asked, "There is really no clue?——Yan Xi, you are not The kind of people who have done hateful things and haven't counted them in their hearts."

Yan Xiu repeated in a deep voice: "I don't know."

He didn't even change his tone of voice.

Lu Ju nodded his head, seeming to know that Yan Xiu would not say one more word, so he stopped asking this question again: "After returning from Jiangyang County, have you found any abnormalities in your life, such as being caught? Are people spying, tracking, monitoring, etc.?"

In an instant, the silver Hyundai Elantra that appeared and disappeared like a ghost appeared in Yan Xiu's eyes, but as soon as this idea occurred, he cautiously pressed it back and said: "There is nothing to discover for the time being."

Lu Jue was noncommittal, "Um" and said, "You must be very careful yourself. If you can prove that this bullet comes from a certain standard gun, or even a police gun registered in the public security system, then the situation is It will become quite complicated-having said that, I have asked Lao Huang to compare the rifling data. All military and police guns must have rifling records, so let's see if you find them then."

Yan Xi nodded, smiled reluctantly, and pointed to the two physical evidence bags: "Can I take a few photos?"

Lu Ju motioned him to help himself.

In fact, this is basically useless. The warhead is already distorted. The rifling and ballistic analysis also need to be done with the help of an electron microscope. However, Yan Xiu still took out dozens of pictures with his mobile phone, trying to capture each of the images. The details are magnified, and the photos are clearly discernible when taken carefully.

"For the shooting in Jiangyang County, I will let them conduct extensive investigations again to try to find clues to the mysterious gunman at the scene. Until then, your personal safety is not 100% guaranteed. In my opinion , You'd better come back to work from tomorrow." Lu Ju took a glance at Yan Xiu from the corner of the eye, suddenly smirked, and slowly raised the big tea pot: "I always have a feeling that the longer you stay at home , The greater the trouble will be!"

Yan Xi was stunned for a moment, keenly perceiving some kind of hint from Lu Ju's words. But when he looked up, he saw that Lu Ju had already drunk the tea. The big tea cup blocked the chubby face, and he couldn't see any expressions at all.

What did he really find?

Still with a guilty conscience?

"Go," Lu Ju put down the tea mug and waved his hand: "I will explain this to Old Wei, so don't mention it to anyone!"

Yan Xi hesitated for a few seconds, got up and nodded, forcing himself to watch Lu Ju steadily, then turned and walked out of the office.

·

"This 9mm Luger warhead has rifling..."

"The target of this shot is you."

"The longer you stay at home, the greater the trouble you will cause!"

……

Yan Xi opened the photo album on the phone, his eyes condensed, and he stared at the bullet that had penetrated his abdominal cavity in the evidence bag.

The blood on the bullet can no longer be distinguished with the naked eye, only the twisted form reveals a trace of hideousness, and the heavy and cold weight of the brass can be felt across the screen. Yan Xiu no longer remembers the pain of the bullet passing through his body. He didn't even realize that he had been hit. Now he closes his eyes and recalls again. All the impressions that can come to mind are nothing more than two words: chaos. .

Jiang Ting, who had just been rescued from the bottom of the river by risking his death, was suffocated frequently to the last minute of the fresh air, exclaiming, screaming, gunshots, fear...All the chaotic details are entangled in a mess, forming blood dripping. Another bizarre picture.

Where was the murderer hiding?

Who is his gun pointed at, Jiang Ting or himself?

If this matter were placed three weeks ago, Yan Xiu would not hesitate to believe that the other party was probably from within the public security system, and the intention to get rid of the chaos or kill Jiang Ting would be nothing more than the whole murder. It is a continuation of the accident on the highway three years ago.

But after being followed late that night, Yan Xiu suddenly realized another terrifying possibility--

On the day of the attack on the police in Jiangyang County, when he got out of the water wet, bullets flew from a dark place, but the muzzle was not aimed at Jiang Ting as he had imagined. On the contrary, just because Jiang Ting was sticking to his arms at close range, the killer had to shift the muzzle in order to avoid accidental injury, so that the bullet failed to penetrate the original target-Yan Xi's heart on the spot.

The king of spades doesn't want to kill Jiang Ting, his goal is very clear, he is Yan Xiu from beginning to end!

Yan Xiu’s pupils were pressed into a line little by little, and suddenly he only heard behind him: "What are you looking at?"

With a move of Yan Xi's thumb, the screen of the phone turned to current affairs news while Jiang Ting's eyes cast, "Oh, this."

The sharp increase in housing prices in Jianning City in the middle of the year is suspected to be related to the foreign real estate speculators-Jiang Ting glanced away, then looked at Yan Xiu for a moment, and didn't say anything. It seemed interesting that he would watch this kind of news.

Jiang Ting is accustomed to drinking Pu'er tea after dinner, but the first Lao Tongxing tea cake has been wiped out by his ants in the past four months. It was exactly the same as Yan Xi's prediction. He didn't feel embarrassed to open the second cake immediately. Instead, he pretended to make a bag of ordinary Pu'er tea every day. According to Yan Xi's observation, he bought it from the tea shop at the gate of the community.

Yan Xiu didn't urge, like a beast with a temperament for the time being, waiting for its prey to slowly approach, and when Jiang Ting couldn't stand it one day, he took the initiative to secretly open the second cake and wife tea.

"What did Lu Bureau tell you to go to the Municipal Bureau today?" Jiang stopped on the sofa and asked after taking a sip of tea.

Yes, Yan Xi thought. If this is the old Tongxing, he will never speak so quickly after taking the first sip, but there is a squinting action that he may not even notice. It is secret and enjoyable, like a cat with the most aftertaste. Delicious dried fish.

"It's nothing, just write a report about the suspect Buwei's jumping into the river and put it in the case file, asking me to sign." Yan Xi seemed to inadvertently put the phone back into his trouser pocket and moved it on the sofa. After moving, he looked at him next to Jiang Ting.

Jiang Ting has already taken a shower. His hair is black and soft, and there are faint traces of water on his side, as if the water has soaked his skin. He was holding the steaming tea cup in both hands, his fingertips were slightly red, and Yan Xiu's undisguised gaze looked a little unnatural at close range, and slightly tilted his head back and stretched a little further away: "What are you looking at?"

Yan Xi suddenly embraced his hands holding the teacup with his palms, staring at his face so closely, and said: "I received a call from the hospital this afternoon, and Shen Xiaoqi woke up."

Jiang Ting didn't expect him to suddenly say such a sentence. There was no response, but a little relief appeared in his eyes: "Awake?"

"Although I can’t speak yet, my brain scans show that there should be no major sequelae. If the follow-up treatment is done properly, my intelligence and mobility will be restored soon, and I should be able to go back to school within three months to six months. Up."

"That's good." Jiang Ting sighed softly and said, "Although this child has suffered misfortune, at least it is now a blessing in misfortune."

"There are many accidents and misfortunes in life," Yan Xi said, looking at him.

——This sounds very weird, especially when Yan Xiu said this, his eyes fixedly locked Jiang Ting’s beautiful eyes, as if he wanted to look into his brain through those pupils, making Jiang Ting unable to help. After avoiding it, he smiled slightly and asked: "What's the matter with you?"

"We are also criminal police officers. Our daily work is dangerous and there are more accidents."

"..."

"What if I have misfortune someday?"

"Yan Xiu, you are..."

"If I'm not here and die, will you miss me? Or will you forget me after a while?"

"Yan Xiu!" Jiang Ting forcibly withdrew his hand, and while struggling, he sprinkled hot tea on the sofa: "What is wrong with you!"

Yan Xi grabbed his hand and refused to let it go. He was so strong that he was almost stubborn: "Let’s get engaged. If something happens, at least there will be a marriage contract. After everything subsides, you can go abroad to register. Now. Or we can confess in front of our parents and family, at least leave a proof for each other, at least someone in this world knows that you and me are the real..."

"You let me go first!" Jiang Ting stood up from the sofa, frowned and said: "Speak well!"

Yan Xi turned a deaf ear, clutching the back of Jiang Ting's hand, and the veins burst. This force was almost violent. Jiang Ting wanted to force his hand to break free, but all the tea poured out in a hurry, and spilled on Jiang Ting's bare feet and carpet: "Let go, you are burning me! Yan Xi! "

The living room returned to quiet, Yan Xi panting heavily, his eyes gleaming like a trapped beast, staring at Jiang Ting in silence for a long while, the delicate muscles of his arms tensed.

"..."

Jiang Ting looked back at him with his brows. I don’t know how long it took, Yan Xi finally let go of his iron-like hands as they were gazing at each other a little bit as if reluctantly restraining himself, then turned around and went straight into the master bedroom. .

After a few seconds, he walked out of the bedroom and entered the kitchen, took out the ice cubes from the refrigerator, and returned to the living room, half kneeling on the carpet in front of Jiang Ting, using a towel wrapped in ice cubes a little bit Wipe his red feet.

Jiang Ting is not used to this posture. He wants to pull his feet back and sit down. As soon as he moves, Yan Xiu grabs his ankle: "Don't move."

"You..."

"Don't move."

Jiang Ting stood there stiffly, watching Yan Xiu apply ice to his hot skin, loosened the towel, and took out a ring from his trouser pocket in this half-kneeling position.

It was the platinum ring that was worn by Jiang Ting three weeks ago.

"This is the pair of rings that my dad wore when he married my mom. After I was born, they changed a pair of souvenir rings. The wedding ring from that year was left to me. Last year I had nothing to do with this The two rings were refurbished and polished. At that time, I thought that in another three to five years, there might not be a chance why people would wear them. I didn’t expect to meet you in a blink of an eye."

The night outside the window is deep, and under the bright light of the living room, the plain ring is shining with the gentle dim light after the years.

"Can you accept it, Jiang Ting?" Yan Xiu asked in a low voice, maintaining the posture of one knee.

"..."

"If you accept, I'll order another one at my own size, right when we have an agreement that we can get married in the future, would you say okay?"
