Chapter 183 Thief-Interruption

The fourth thief
24 truncation
The curtains in the director's office were thin and translucent. The moonlight, which had been dispersed by the wind and obscured by the smog, was dimly entangled in the strong lighting hanging above the parking lot in the backyard of the city bureau. It faintly passed through the gaps in the knitted fabric and sprinkled coldly on Zhu Silai, who was hunched over and sleeping lightly.

Zhu Silai was half asleep when he smelled a smell of dust mixed with a faint smell of smoke.

He sniffed unconsciously following the rustling noise, struggled for a long time without opening his eyelids that were so sleepy that they were stuck together, turned over and buried his head in a daze, giving up the idea of ​​confirming the person who came in through the door. He was in a trance. Just as he was about to fall into the mist of Yunmeng, the small folding bed with limited load-bearing capacity suddenly "creaked", and a cold and heavy lump was placed on Zhu Silai's back without any notice, sticking his buttocks out and preparing to occupy the magpie's nest. Push him out of bed.

Before Zhu Silai could react, half of his body was already hanging outside the folding bed. His whole body shook as if weightless, and he was completely awakened by the cool air next to him.

Gu Xing held his arms without moving, tilted his head and grabbed Director Zhu's clean and fragrant little pillow. When he saw him sitting blankly at the end of the folding bed, he almost rubbed his eyes like rabbits. He reached out and rubbed it under the pillow for a long time: " Aren't you going to sleep? Can you squeeze it down to sleep... Where are your eye drops that sting your eyes?"

"...During the day, Ronaldinho found that my bottle of eye drops was more than half a year expired, so he threw it away for me." Zhu Silai yawned and waved, walked around to the desk above the folding bed head in his slippers, and walked sideways around Captain Gu. He leaned back and swung open his arms, picked up his glasses and hung them on the bridge of his nose, rubbed the ends of his red eyes, silently stared at Gu Xing's side face that could not be seen clearly in the shadow, and spoke slowly and clearly.

"I thought you could go to Zhang Yibai's place to see him after you're done."

"Let's go there when the body is bid farewell...I just happened to run into Secretary Li when I came downstairs. He ran back in the middle of the night to personally handle the materials for martyrs' declaration. He probably had to submit them as soon as possible...She said there was no shortage of people there for the time being, and their detachment was in a panic. After waiting for a long time, we rearranged the manpower, and me going there is just adding to the chaos." Gu Xing sighed softly, but there was no emotion in his tone: "You guys will go there tomorrow?"

Zhu Silai picked up half a cup of American instant that was cold on the table, walked to the water dispenser and glanced at the wall clock that had passed zero. He mixed half a cup of hot water and sipped it without paying much attention to the concentration and taste: "To be precise, It's today. Geng Zhi and I will go there first with the children from the Criminal Investigation Department, and we won't have to wait until the day of the farewell ceremony - it will be the day after tomorrow, right?"

"Hmm... From what Lao Gao said, it seems that the ostentation will not be small. After all, Zhang Yibai's father-in-law is a retired leader with many talents all over the world." Gu Xing raised his arms and put them behind his head, looking blankly at the light tubes on the ceiling. Reflecting the faint light outside the window, "Lao Gao and Secretary Li are actually a little... not satisfied with someone intervening in this matter, but the family's situation must be given priority after all, although I also think it is not good to create a pomp. , Zhang Yibai’s two children are not very young, and they are a special type of police. Especially after investigating a major case, the mastermind behind the scenes has not been completely eliminated. In fact, it is eye-catching that problems can easily arise..."

Zhu Silai slowly moved back and leaned weakly on the edge of the desk. He stared at Gu Xing, whose eyes were wide open and not sleepy. He was silent for a long time thoughtfully: "... Captain Zhang The year you were transferred to Sheng'an City, you happened to have just arrived at the Municipal Bureau of Criminal Investigation, right? I remember it was earlier than me."

"More than ten years have passed in a flash." Gu Xingxiang was stung by the memory of the dirty smiles of the two when they first met, which made his heart throb for a moment. He rubbed his chest and smiled dryly, "At that time, one was competing against the other. Damn, Gao Gao was annoyed by both of us before he was promoted, but now we are both old men with apprentices..."

"Isn't the apprentice he brought out also a virtuous person?" Zhu Silai tilted his head and thought for a while, then lowered his lips with pity and agreement, "I heard from the High Bureau that Wen Chen almost rushed to the hospital with a gun to kill that The van driver collapsed."

"...Later, I had to settle a score with Liang Ming. There were people everywhere in the small square, and he just dared to take out his gun. That kid was a bit impulsive and reckless...he was exactly the same as his master." Really, I'm a little scared. Even if I'm half a minute late and I don't hold the person down, the guy will really shoot out if he can't protect himself... I didn't even dare to report it truthfully to Lao Gao." Gu Xing wrinkled. His face trembled, and the cold air drawn into his mouth stung the nerves of his teeth: "And to put it bluntly now, Wen Chen's return to the team is too short, and anti-narcotics must be a back-to-back friendship. Now not only do some people believe that For such a young man who has been in a criminal gang for several years, for Wen Chen, except for his master, everyone else basically ignores him."

Zhu Silai stared at the coat on Gu Xing's body that could emit dust and smoke every time he moved. Without words, he went over and picked up the man who was trying to get under the quilt by his collar: "What about Xiao Mo? Xiao Mo can't believe it either. ? Your kind of restraint that relies purely on force and professional titles is not a long-term solution... If you want to sleep seriously, take off your pants and shoes. These clothes have not been washed for several days..."

"The problem is that Jiang Mo can't keep an eye on him all the time. And believe it or not, no matter how well we know each other, our moods will always be different... Our daughter has too much sense of self-sacrifice, otherwise I wouldn't do it again and again. And the third place told her to stay away from the drug area." It's not like Gu Xing didn't pay attention to Wen Chen's thoughts, he was even a bit more perceptive than Jiang Mo himself, but he didn't think highly of these two "desperados." The friendship between them may have unilaterally deteriorated - Gu Xing raised his eyebrows unceremoniously, and Zhu Silai fiddled with his arms and sleeves, turned his thoughts away, and said, "I can't sleep for long, so I just lie down." For a moment - didn't you take off your coat? You still have your white coat on."

"A white coat is work clothes worn indoors. Your clothes are dirtier than mine. I don't know where you brought them all..." Zhu Silai coughed due to the smell of dirt and waved his hand to disperse. The almost invisible smoke dispersed: "Take off your clothes, or will you help me wash the quilt if it gets dirty?"

"I don't want to move. I'll wash them if they're dirty." Gu Xing tossed his shoes wildly and buried his head in the quilt: "...can I use the washing machine?"

"Do you think I look like a washing machine?" Zhu Silai raised his foot to straighten Gu Xingfei's shoes, suddenly he held up the frame with enthusiasm, and blinked shrewdly: "...otherwise, the great Gu Zhi It would be okay to buy a washing machine in our back building at our own expense. When those children came back from the scene, their duty uniforms and doctor's robes were covered in mud every day. Now the washing machine stops every now and then, and they can't even wash the clothes in the rest room. , It’s cold, girls can’t do that..."

"Waiting to trick me here, aren't you, you little piggy?" Gu Xing grabbed a small pillow and threw it at Zhu Silai, sat up, and narrowed his eyes in judgment: "No more than 1000 yuan at most. .”

"Deal. You can do whatever you want."

Zhu Silai dusted off the small pillow and put it back. She helped Captain Gu lie down under the quilt and took a few steps back to sit on the sofa. He pinched his brows and flipped through his phone in a clear mind.

After about three to five minutes, Zhu Silai listened to the gradually calming breathing in the room. He quietly glanced at Gu Xing, who had been motionless for a while, from the corner of his eye. Unexpectedly, he turned around and bumped into a pair of glazed eyes. , staring so pitifully that the seams in Zhu Silai's bones trembled violently.

"...can't sleep?"

Gu Xing pretended to be on the verge of tears: "I feel like I might be in menopause."

"If you can't sleep..." Zhu Silai stood up with his knees up and turned on the light, squinted his eyes to relieve the stimulation of the bright light, turned around and handed the phone to Gu Xing, who was shaking off the quilt and covering his head, shouting that he was about to go blind. .

"The official appraisal report hasn't been issued yet, but the research institute gave me a rough outline of the situation in advance - about... Gu Ying's red gemstone earrings."

　Due to work and physical reasons, I will update every other day~
