You Fang naturally understood these three meaningless words. The "she" Xie Xiaoxian asked about was referring to Qi Ruoxue, because he had already confessed to Xie Xiaoxian——
"Since I have to confess, I must confess completely. I also had a lover, and we made mistakes, and later I saved her. This is a very old-fashioned but true story. She is very outstanding, and she is like the kind that many men
Everyone wants to pursue a woman but she doesn’t have to be attached to any man. If she doesn’t change her mind about me, I can’t change her. In fact, I’m not a good man. Look up at the stars and examine your heart. I’m very affectionate, but you don’t want to see me.
People I care about get hurt, so I’m very careful.”
Is this a woman's terrible intuition or the police's professional sensitivity? You Fang thought he had concealed it well without revealing any flaws, and Qi Ruoxue's reaction naturally matched his cover-up. Why did Xie Xiaoxian notice it and guess?
So accurate? You Fang looked up at the ceiling and was speechless!
After Xie Xiaoxian came out, he glanced at You Fang meaningfully, and then at Qi Ruoxue. Qi Ruoxue lowered her head and counted the cards without saying a word. You Fang was a little uneasy, and Tu Su's cards were wrong. As a result, the circle of Xiaoxue
Yu was confused and laughed happily.
You Fang also got up to go to the bathroom, and then a message came from Xie Xiaoxian's cell phone. She took it out and saw that there were only five words on it plus an exclamation mark - You are so smart!
Xie Xiaoxian looked a little regretful and played several wrong cards one after another. When Qi Ruoxue saw Xie Xiaoxian answering the text message, she couldn't help but look up in the direction of the bathroom and continued playing cards slowly. You Fang arrived at around 4:30 p.m.
Home, seeing that it was almost six o'clock, Xiao Yu took the initiative to push the cards and said: "No more playing, it's time to have dinner. As promised, the winner will treat you!"
Tu Su pouted his mouth and said, "What should I treat you to?"
They did not put cash in the card game, but used a pair of poker scores as chips. In the end, one family won and three families lost. You Fang was stunned and said: "The winner treats you to dinner? Then you should pay for it quickly!"
Qi Ruoxue chuckled: "The director of public security is sitting here, who dares to gather people to gamble? We are just playing for fun. We only count the points but not the money. In the end, the winner is treated to a treat. You didn't even ask clearly before you just sat down and watched the cards for others."
You Fang made another mistake and opened his mouth: "Ah, that's right. Aren't you bullying Tu Su?"
Qi Ruoxue: "No one bullied her. Tu Su doesn't know how to play cards. If you didn't come, I would be the one to treat you."
Xie Xiaoxian stretched out his hand and pointed at You Fang: "We all saw it, you are the one who won the card, and you treat me tonight!"
Tu Su turned his head and said, "Brother You Fang, I'd rather invite you."
You Fang patted her on the shoulder and said: "No, no, no, your sister Xiaoxian is right, I did win the card! It was so lively on the first day when I got home, I felt happy, I'm treating you, please be obedient!...Everyone
Beauty, where can we eat?”
Qi Ruoxue whispered three words: "Nightclub."
You Fang was a little dizzy. She even knew the allusions to nightclubs, and she seemed to come there frequently recently. Over there, Xiao Yu clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay, let's go to the nightclub!"
At this time, Qi Ruoxue's phone rang. She answered the call and said apologetically: "Oh, what a coincidence. Something happened at the company. I have to rush back to work overtime in the evening, so..."
You Fang interrupted her and said: "You have to eat even if you work overtime. You can leave after eating." With his sharp ears, he heard the call just now. It was Wu Linlin who called. Qi Ruoxue did have something to do, but it was not serious.
I didn't even have time to eat.
Qi Ruoxue, who was meeting for the first time and was a guest, actually nodded obediently and said: "Well, let's eat first, there's nothing important."
You Fang led everyone out to eat, surrounded by warblers and swallows, which made the eyes of the two young men passing by wide open. A warm breeze blew, and he inexplicably thought of Lord Wei in "The Deer and the Cauldron", and felt that his steps were a bit...
My hair was fluttering. Then I saw Xie Xiaoxian's eyes sweeping over me, and Qi Ruoxue's questioning eyes. I felt the wind was a bit chilly, and my scalp began to feel numb.
When he arrived at the restaurant, the boss Song Yang was startled. He rubbed his eyes for a long time, and then he came up to him with a look of great admiration and said: "Brother, what a surprise! I was just wondering when you would come back, but it turned out
As soon as I looked up, I saw him coming with a spring scenery."
You Fang smiled bitterly and walked over to him and gave him an elbow strike: "Is there a private room for dinner?"
Song Yang: "If you come a little later, I will be gone. I will have to let the kitchen out to set the table for you... By the way, thank you for the little time last time."
You Fang: "What's the matter? Why are you thanking me? I borrowed a guy from your store to work as a follower. I have to thank you."
Song Yang came over and whispered: "He came back from Chongqing to honor his master and me, the two yellow croakers, this kid."
You Fang: "Congratulations, you have gained a good apprentice, you have made a profit!"
At this time, Hua Youxian also came out: "Brother You, are you back? Are you all here for dinner? Let me treat you tonight!"
You Fang stretched out his hand and hit him on the shoulder, neither gently nor hard. If it had been someone else, he would have been knocked down by the slap, but Hua Youxian's shoulder shook, and there was an inner force that bounced his hand away.
, the body is standing very stable, it seems that the kung fu has been practiced well during this period, and it has a considerable foundation.
You Fang smiled and said: "It's not easy to earn some money by working, so you should keep it to honor your elders and marry a wife. I'm treating you today, what do you think it's going to do? Go and get the recipe."
Hua Youxian: "Recipe? These sisters can memorize it, so what are you doing with it? There are a few new dishes added. You go in and take a seat first, and I will introduce them."
We sat down to eat. Everyone ordered their favorite dishes and ordered a few bottles of beer. They chatted while eating and drinking. It looked very lively and happy, but everyone had their own thoughts. Just as he moved his chopsticks a few times, Tu Su suddenly burst into laughter.
He patted his forehead and said, "Oh, brother You Fang, I forgot something important!"
Xiao Yu asked curiously: "What's going on? It's rare to see you startled."
Tu Su: "My uncle wants to treat Brother You Fang to dinner."
Xiao Yu: "What did your uncle ask him to do?"
Xie Xiaoxian thought of what happened in Beijing, reacted immediately, and said with a smile: "It's really a business matter. Your brother You Fang got rich. He introduced a project to Tu Su's uncle and received a kickback of 600,000 yuan.
"
Tu Su: "Don't say the kickback is so unpleasant, it's a commission for introducing business."
Qi Ruoxue suddenly came to her senses and asked Tu Su, "I heard you mentioned that your uncle's surname is Hu and he is engaged in decoration projects. Is his name Hu Xingjian?"
Tu Su nodded and said, "Yes, Sister Xue knows him?"
Qi Ruoxue: "I've seen it before. He contracted the weak current project of Xunluan Building. Our construction and installation company under the Hengming Group is the general contractor. Your uncle's contract was signed by me... Why didn't you tell me earlier? There was no need for it.
Such a big detour."
Tu Su: "I didn't even know you for a long time."
You Fang held the cup and said: "Come on, come on, the dishes are here, let's drink and drink!...Tu Su, if you can't drink, just take a sip."
Tu Su: "I can drink a bottle with you, but no more... When are you free to go to my uncle's house? Can you do it tomorrow?"
Xie Xiaoxian asked: "Going to treat a guest at home?"
Tu Su nodded happily: "Yes, let's go to my house. We are all friends and not outsiders. I just want to say thank you... By the way, my uncle asked when the commission will be called to you. He doesn't know the account number yet."
You Fang replied while drinking: "Don't worry, let's wait until the project payment is almost completed."
Qi Ruoxue interjected: "I will pay the next phase of the project on Monday. In that case, the progress will be settled to 70%. Mei - no problem, You Fang, you just need to provide an account."
Xie Xiaoxian suddenly put down his cup and said, "You Fang, do you have time tomorrow? Recently, our task force has a new situation. You majored in archeology. I have professional questions in this area that I would like to consult with you."
You Fang quickly nodded and said with a smile: "If you have time, of course you have time, cooperating with the police's investigation is the obligation of every law-abiding citizen. Besides, Director Xie has spoken, and I dare not not go, lest you send someone to handcuff me away."
Already."
Everyone laughed, and Xie Xiaoxian said with a straight face: "Then I thank you. You can go find me in the bureau when you get off work tomorrow afternoon."
Hearing Xie Xiaoxian talk about this, You Fang guessed that the matter in Nanhai might have been assigned to Liu Li's task force. If Xie Xiaoxian didn't go to him, he would have to go to Xie Xiaoxian and tell her as much as possible about the case in Nanhai in private.
It’s clear. Since the experience in Chongqing, the two people have made an appointment to inform each other. They can’t tell who is whose informant, but they have a sense of proportion.
Qi Ruoxue didn't have time to accompany them to drink slowly, so she left first after eating. Before leaving, Xiao Yu asked her if she was busy recently. Qi Ruoxue replied that she was very busy, and she had to go to Hong Kong on a business trip next weekend. Tu Su again
I asked You Fang if he was busy after returning to Guangzhou. Will he only stay for a few days and have to travel around? You Fang replied that he has not been busy recently. He just wants to go to Hunan next weekend to discuss business.
Not long after Qi Ruoxue left, You Fang received another text message, just one sentence: "If you are not busy next weekend, I will wait for you at the villa." It seems that Qi Ruoxue will not go to Hong Kong for a business trip, and You Fang will not go to Hunan either.
Talking about business, we will go to Mao Baiyun Villa next weekend. Since Qi Ruoxue already knows the identity of You Fang, she can tell her whatever she needs to say, and there is no need to hide it anymore.
After dinner, You Fang offered to take Tu Su back to school, but the little girl smiled and said: "There is no class tomorrow, so I won't leave tonight. I've been staying here a lot lately."
Xie Xiaoxian stood up and said, "Then let's go home! You Fang, can you help me read some information tonight, without disturbing your rest?"
You Fang: "No interruption, no interruption. I'm not tired at all. Director Xie has worked hard."
After returning home, You Fang asked Xie Xiaoxian to call the other door and help her read the information. He worked until very late and told Tu Su and Xiao Yu to go to bed first. He didn't have to wait for him anymore and didn't have to stay at the door anymore. He would come back after reading the information.
The two girls drank some wine and went to bed very early. When they got up the next day, they saw that You Fang had already placed breakfast on the table. He did not make it himself.
There are two red silk marks from behind his ears to his left cheek. It is said that they were accidentally scratched by his own nails while taking a shower. Tu Su stared at You Fang's ears for a long time while eating breakfast, but said nothing, and Xie Xiaoxian had already gone to work.
, worked overtime again on Sunday.
…
During the day, I went to Chen Jun and Lin Yin's house to say hello. The two had already moved in together and had received their marriage certificates. They were planning to hold the wedding officially. Of course, I was very happy to see You Fang. I invited him to have a meal.
Lunch. Waiting until about five o'clock in the afternoon, You Fang borrowed Chen Jun's car and went out to pick up Xie Xiaoxian. Apart from being accidentally handcuffed into the police station once in so many years, this was the first time that he walked into the police station on his own initiative. He was in a very good mood along the way.
perturbed.
Xie Xiaoxian was waiting for him at the door of the branch. He had already changed into casual clothes. You Fang breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably. At least he didn't have to enter the station anymore.
Xie Xiaoxian didn't talk nonsense. After getting in the car, he fastened his seat belt and said directly: "Drive, go that way."
You Fang asked with fake concern: "Aren't you going to the office?"
Xie Xiaoxian: "Which office are you going to? I'll treat you to dinner."
You Fang: "Where can we eat?"
Xie Xiaoxian: "I listen to you. You choose a place and I will treat you."
It turned out that she hadn't decided on a place, so You Fang drove along the road, turned right at the red light, and then stopped in front of a restaurant that looked good and asked, "This restaurant serves Shanghainese cuisine."
, can you get used to it?"
Xie Xiaoxian: "If you can eat anything you don't like, I can eat it."
The two of them didn't book a private room, so they ate in the lobby on the second floor, choosing a small square table by the window. Behind You Fang was the hotel's performance stage, where there were folk music performances every night.
I ordered two Sha Tin crispy squabs, a plate of grandma's braised pork, and an orchid tofu, and a pot of ten-year-old daughter's red. The squab was delicious and the tofu was good, but grandma's braised pork was too sweet.
Xie Xiaoxian ordered it, and neither of them moved their chopsticks after taking a bite. You Fang smiled and said: "If you want to eat braised pork, the Dongpo pork in Hangzhou cuisine and the Maojia pork in Xiangtan cuisine are both good. As for this Shanghai one,
Grandma's braised pork is really not to my liking."
Xie Xiaoxian rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are really a gourmet. You have tasted a lot of delicacies in the world, right?"
You Fang shook his head modestly and said, "That's not the case anymore. I'm a very picky person. It's not that you don't know it. Even though I've been to many places and experienced many things, there's nothing I can do about it."
There were no customers at the surrounding tables, so Xie Xiaoxian simply stopped talking in circles, put down his chopsticks and put his hand up to support his chin, looked at You Fang and said: "You once told me that you have a lover, and if she doesn't give up, you won't let her go. I've always been there.
I was wondering what kind of person he would be, but I didn’t expect it to be Qi Ruoxue, you are quite capable!"
You Fang circulated his consciousness quietly, and only Xie Xiaoxian could hear his words: "Given the relationship between you and me, I won't hide it from you. Duan Xinxin's case was concluded in your hands. You must have read the file. I
I can tell you that I killed the person."
He briefly told Qi Ruoxue's experience that day, without going into detail about the process of killing and beheading him. Finally, he drank a glass of Nuerhong and asked lightly: "Xiaoxian, should this person be killed?"
Xie Xiaoxian slapped the table: "The world is like an oven. The so-called purgatory is just for people like this. Kill them well!"
You Fang: "I confessed everything, will you arrest me?"
Xie Xiaoxian asked back: "Do you have evidence?"
You Fang shook his head: "No, I was too hasty and forgot to leave evidence. But you can go and check. As the saying goes, if you don't know what to do, you can't do anything except yourself. If you use the power of the state machine and all the manpower, material and financial resources, you can definitely find it.
of."
Xie Xiaoxian looked at him with a half-smile but said: "The police handle cases based on evidence, and they cannot arrest people illegally, let alone arresting someone with your extraordinary skills. If I really take you away for investigation, I won't be afraid of Director Qi."
Invite a bunch of lawyers and reporters to find fault with me? You think we police officers have nothing to do, our funds and manpower are very tight, and we are too busy to do serious work!"
You Fang: "The incident in the South China Sea mentioned last night has been assigned to your task force. The situation involved is quite complicated. You have to be cautious, but that group of people cannot let it go."
Xie Xiaoxian: "I will try my best to deal with it, but there are many things that are beyond my scope of authority and responsibility, so I won't mention them. I just want to ask you a question today, a personal question. If I can't tolerate having a Qi next to you,
Ruoxue, how do you want to choose, me or her?"
You Fang replied without batting an eyelid: "She, then I wish you happiness, I seem to have said this."
Xie Xiaoxian seemed to be choked. He stared at You Fang angrily for a long time without saying anything, and finally said: "We haven't seen each other for so long. Is it in vain that I worry about your safety every day? You can't even say a nice word?"
You Fang lowered his head and sighed: "I remember that I once proposed to someone and was rejected in person."
Xie Xiaoxian also lowered his head, thought for a while and asked: "What if that person gives you another chance?"
You Fang shook his head and said, "No, I don't dare to try again."
Xie Xiaoxian: "Are you afraid of being rejected again? You can give it a try."
You Fang sighed again: "No, I am not qualified. Now I am about to face the biggest crisis in my life, and I am not sure whether I can survive it safely. When I return to Guangzhou this time, I just want to stay for a while and enjoy the rare tranquility in life."
Xie Xiaoxian bit her lip: "Are you always going to be like this?"
You Fang smiled faintly: "I hope it won't last forever. No matter what, there will be a big thing to be solved within this year. Before that, I won't consider other things, and I won't be so impulsive anymore. These are all the truth."
After saying this, both of them fell silent, eating food and tasting wine in silence. In the silence, melodious music sounded. Xie Xiaoxian looked up and saw that the performance on the stage had already begun. Three people wearing long goose-yellow cheongsams
The girl and a slightly balding middle-aged man were sitting on the stage, playing guzheng, pipa, erhu and dulcimer respectively.
Xie Xiaoxian saw You Fang turning his head and looking attentively, so he asked in a low voice: "Do you like to hear it?"
You Fang nodded: "Yes."
Xie Xiaoxian: "Then let's change seats. It's so uncomfortable for you to twist your body like this." As she spoke, she stood up and took her wine glass and bowls and chopsticks to this side. You Fang also changed to Xie Xiaoxian's position opposite.
Just facing the stage.
A song "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon" was played on the stage, and then they played in pairs, and then some popular movie and TV drama theme songs were played. You Fang was very absorbed in listening, but he frowned slightly while listening, and Xie Xiaoxian asked:
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
You Fang sighed slightly: "Why are they all these songs?"
