Forty Hype

The sparse rain and snow had no intention of splashing all night long. The raindrops and snowflakes hit the car roof hard for a few times and gradually became weak. After a few minutes, only a few wisps of water vapor that melted the snow flakes were left.

Shao Jie raked the ice particles that rolled down from the branches of the trees beside the road and stuck to the ends of his hair. He raked his hair a few times, which was messy and fluffy after being sprayed with hairspray and rubbed by him. He watched Jiang Mo sternly refuse his sharing. After asking for the coat, Qi Qi Yuye shuddered and got into the back. It was a little funny and he turned around, stepping on the smooth stone pavement of the park step by step, and then he followed the stick that had been poking him on the back of the head from just now. With a few scorching gazes, he raised his head and caught the little heads looking side by side on the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony of the training room. He raised his hands and waved them away with a smile.

After walking slowly for a few steps, Shao Jie lowered his head, took out his mobile phone and made a call. When he saw the connection countdown skipping "3", he shrank his neck and tried to get into his collar. In the snow, he calmly put the receiver to his ear.

Li Fubei guessed that he was still in the hospital, so he mumbled "Wait a minute" while holding the phone, and trotted into the echoing stairwell: "Brother Jie? What's wrong? There's something going on with Jiang Weili. ?”

"No." Shao Jie paused for two seconds and asked hesitantly: "How is the injury on your head?"

"...Huh? Injured? Ah -" Li Fubei obviously didn't expect that Boss Shao, who had only cared for his subordinates a handful of times so far, started calling him in the middle of the night with a nonsense sentence to express concern.He grunted, swallowed the flattering complaint about his boss's wrong tendons, cleared his throat slightly, and spoke with a smile: "It's okay, I just broke the skin and sewed a few stitches. The hospital asked someone to observe him for one night in case he had a slight concussion... Oh, by the way, Brother Jie, I asked someone to get the surveillance camera in the corridor when the conflict happened. But guess what, less than two hours later, someone turned around. Come and spend money to recycle.”

"Although the police security didn't mention it when they resolved the dispute in the past, since you asked about the rumors about match-fixing, the people on Jiang Weili's side must be afraid that there will be any clues that someone will make a fuss about - then if you think about the video surveillance It's useless to keep it, so just exchange it for mental damage fee, and test the sincerity of the other party." When it came to business, Shao Jie returned to his usual serious and exasperating tone, "You started with Jiang Weili today. I have the memory card of the camera that was smashed during the conflict. Can I send it to you?"

"Eh? Wasn't it confiscated by the police? I thought it would be a pity if it was confiscated or not returned. There are a few pictures of Jiang Weili's mobile phone. You should be able to vaguely see who is placing bets on fake matches. Contact him——"

Li Fubei was gibbering mid-sentence, and was suddenly startled. Then he quickly understood the reason for the Shao Da contestant's unusual behavior today from this few words, and he said "ah" over and over again with certainty. A long sound.

"I met Officer Jiang. I mean, he's so kind."

"Ah!"

Jiang Mo rubbed his nose that was scratched by the cool breeze in the corridor, fumbled and took out a bunch of keys from the side pocket of his overalls, which he washed and rolled with paper towels to dry and hugged each other hard. , just as he rustled the front door key out of the dried paper scraps, the security door in front of him opened with the sound of the lock tongue retracting - Jiang Mo glanced at it and opened it in the wind. She ducked away from the door panel that was slapping her in the face. She raised her eyelids and saw Zhou Huaiyu, who was holding on to the door handle and staggering half of his body out. They looked at each other in embarrassment for a while, then stretched out his hand to grab this person who was about the same age as his master. The similar stepfather helped him up.

"You're still awake so late, Uncle Zhou?"

"Ah... I still have some overseas work to do, and I'm pretty busy." Zhou Huaiyu has been abroad all year round, and has never had the opportunity to chat with Jiang Mo alone. He walked around in circles, first glanced back at the door of the master bedroom as if instinctively asking for help, then rubbed the sweat from his hands with determination, turned around and was about to go into the kitchen: "It's so late at night Have you eaten yet? Let me make something, fried rice or noodles? Wontons will do too, quick."

"I ate in the team cafeteria in the evening." Jiang Mo did not follow his parents' short talk, pulled up the chair in front of the dining table and sat down softly, and glanced at Zhou Huaiyu's computer files piled on the desktop, "... Don't delay your work." "If you're not hungry, go to bed early. I've been busy for more than a week. Oh yes... Zhou Nan answered a call from you during the day, and said that he would wait for you to come back and sleep in your room at night. Now, I’ll go get him—”

He said not to disturb him, but he was already sitting in the position facing Zhou Huaiyu, raising his arms and supporting his chin, obviously not in a hurry to move.Zhou Huaiyu's words paused, and he stood thoughtfully at the table for more than a few seconds. Finally, he sighed deeply, returned to the seat directly opposite Jiang Mo and sat down, pushed away the computer files in front of him, and spoke slowly and calmly. I poured a glass of warm water, stretched my arms and pushed over.

"It's about the kidnapping, right?"

"The news reports are actually not very comprehensive. Since he can be considered an insider -" Jiang Mo has recently dealt with too many "smart people" who are keen on making circuitous remarks, and it is rare for him to get to the point directly. "Although I don't know much about this." Who contacted you about the twin brothers... But I think it’s necessary to tell you the truth about Da Zhong’s death.”

"Yu Zhong...is the elder brother of the twins, right?" Zhou Huaiyu thought about it for a moment, as if he was still not familiar with the names of the two brothers. "Did Yu Ji tell you about contacting me?"

Jiang Mo said "Hmm" and shifted his gaze slightly: "I guess."

"..." Zhou Huaiyu raised his eyebrows and reacted for a while, then smiled and blinked, "Do you need me to cooperate with the investigation?"

"The kidnapping case won't be that far involved for now. As for the old case about Zhao Jinjing, we have to unravel it bit by bit." Jiang Mo shrugged and shook his head slightly, "Yu Ji didn't mention it, but Yu Zhong is about to die." There are no relevant clues in the evidence left before, I am just confirming my guess. You and Teacher Jiang have not been back for a long time, when did they find you? "

"Before I go to the Convention and Exhibition Center, it will take about a week or so." Zhou Huaiyu took a sip of cool tea and frowned, "But in fact, it was just an accidental encounter. I met him in the park near the office building where we were working. The security guard, Yu Zhong, should be Yu Zhong - I didn’t know his name was Yu Zhong until then, and I really have no memory of his previous name.”

"To be honest, I don't dare to admit it - after all, when I met these brothers, they were having a really hard time." Zhou Huaiyu probably recalled the fragments of light and shadow from more than ten or twenty years ago, and frowned. "I was really surprised when Yu Zhong took the initiative to say hello... I just asked about their current situation and learned that Yu Zhong was in poor health. I originally planned to leave my contact information, but he refused... ...Just before leaving, Yu Zhong suddenly pulled me and said a few words without starting to the end. I can’t remember clearly, but the general meaning was...if something happens, please let me not talk about meeting him. . At that time, I didn’t understand what he meant at all, until I saw the sanctimonious Zhao Jinjing in the convention and exhibition center.”

"Yu Zhong has met Zhou Nanyi a long time ago." Jiang Mo subconsciously glanced at the lock screen photo of Zhou Huaiyu's mobile phone, paused for a moment, and suddenly remembered the picture of Yu Zhong always looking back at Zhou Nanyi's movements when checking the surveillance, and was silent for a moment. , raised his eyes and met Zhou Huaiyu's inexplicably probing gaze, shook his head and sighed, "Want to meet him? Yu Ji."

"You will inevitably think of bad things when you see me." Zhou Huaiyu put one hand on the table and gently put down the cup of tea slowly.

"Now that they have woken up from this nightmare that has tortured them for half their lives, let's let it go."
